Hello McLean,
McLean Recreation
Association Report
I hope everyone enjoyed the mildest winter we’ve seen in a long time!!
The only downfall to the mild temperatures and lack of snow was the
inability to go snowmobiling or tobogganing with family and friends.

This is my last messenger, I’ve enjoyed doing it but have found myself
too busy for it.
contributed by Sherry Langston
Since the last issue the McLean Recreation Association hosted the annual
Santa Claus Parade and Craft Sale. It was an awesome day with lots of

In Loving Memory
From The Inside Out
William Glenn Bozarth
June 10, 1935—January 26, 2016
No one can do everything, but everyone can do something."-Unknown
"
Thru winter and we were spoiled having only a few days that were below -15.
Doesn't get better then that!
Just a quick update, we have been working hard on getting the water issues
resolved. Between cleaning all of the tanks and doing maintenance on the well
that has the high manganese counts we are hoping we will have resolves the issues
as much as possible. We appreciate your help and patience as we sort it out.
Glenn was born in Clareshom, Alberta and passed away in Regina
surrounded by family.
I chose the above quote for two reasons:
Glenn’s family moved to Innisfail, Alberta where he attended school,
worked, met and married Shirley and became a father.
First, we would love to have someone (or group) sign on to upkeep the flower beds
in town. There is one by the McLean sign and one by the event board across from
the bar. Most of the plants we put in in the spring are shrubs/perennials so the upkeep is fairly minimal. Just a good weeding every week or two and watering if
needed. Please speak with Nadine and Shantell if you would like to help.
Predeceased by his parents, Earl and Mattie Bozarth, Glenn is survived
by his wife of 60 years, Shirley, his children, Leslie (Raymond),
Lynn (Dave) and Billy (Lori). He loved his grandchildren Codi (Shari),
Chantel and Jonathan, beloved great-grandchildren Davin, Colin and
Layla. He is also survived by one sister Edna and cousins and nephews.
Second, the Rec Board is always looking for help and ideas when it come to
planning and presenting events. Please, come out and sign up to help our
community continue to put on events.
Glenn was involved in Seismic crews, working with Dr. Peter Konkin in
the cattle embro transplant field and in the agricultural field on ranches,
feedlots, auction marts and for 21 years with the Brogden family farm at
Kronau, a close relationship that continues to this day. At a young age,
Glenn set a record as the youngest outrider at the Calgary Chuck Wagon
races. This record has stood for years. Glenn was one of the true
cowboys and loved working with horses and cattle. His hard work,
dedication and loyalty were a great inspiration to his family.
Again I can't thank you enough for your patience with the water.
Mayor Mark Towers
