Brotherhood shows at Palace Theatre
By Murray Green
The true story of Brotherhood will be shown at Daysland’s Palace Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on June 20 and 22.
The Canadian Screen Award-winning film Brotherhood will light up the screen. Both screenings will be presented by Vancouver-based writer and director Richard Bell and will feature a question period with the audience.
Based on a true story, a group of young teenage boys attending camp at Kawartha Lakes in 1926 are sent hurtling into a fight for survival when their canoe capsizes during a freak storm. It is up to the two adult leaders–one incapacitated by the Great War and the other haunted by the loss of his son to the Spanish Flu–to try and save the boys.
“We are delighted with the opportunity of having the director of this important Canadian movie with us in our theatre, making this an even more enjoyable experience for our rural audience,” said Sharon Eshpeter of the Daysland and District Cultural Arts Society (DaysArts).
Founded in 1999, DaysArts is a non-profit society and is entirely volunteer run, from concession workers to projectionists. Through their Reel Alternatives program, the society

The summer is the perfect time to do a little stargazing into the night skies and truly get a feel for how large our universe really is. The Hesje Observatory is an ideal place to get a closer look.
As of May 15, the Hesje Observatory, located at Augustana Miquelon Lake Research Station (AMLRS) in Miquelon Provincial Park, will be open for two days a week for the remainder of the summer for public drop-in observing and tours.
Anyone at any age can come and appreciate the vastness that surrounds us and find out how the Observatory plays a vital role in learning more about the cosmos.
Miquelon Provincial Park is a dark sky preserve with very little light pollution which makes it the optimal place for an astronomical observatory.
The Hesje Observatory was made possible through a generous donation by alumnus Brian Hesje, who had a wish to provide a state-of-the-art facility where anyone could come and explore and ponder a world beyond our own.
Hesje’s donation allowed for the construction of the observatory including classroom space, dome, ob-
servation deck, one permanently mounted telescope and one portable telescope, and an additional crowdfunding campaign that provided funds that supported additional equipment such as a charged-coupled device (CCD) camera, electronic filter wheel and a set of photometric filters.
Aside from being an incredible asset to be enjoyed by the community, the Observatory is also a vital tool for university and community education opportunities and has tweaked a new interest in the field of astronomy.
Enjoy an exciting evening adventure with family or friends during a public drop-in at the Observatory or, if later night hours are not conducive to your schedule, the Observatory will be open earlier in the evening for solar viewing through the Celestron telescope.
The Observatory is also available for bookings for the in-person Stargazing and Astronomy program, which includes two hours of uninterrupted time at the observatory for groups.
For more information on the Hesje Observatory or to view the drop-in schedule, visit the University of Alberta Augustana Campus website at https:// www.ualberta.ca/augustana/research/centres/ amlrs/observatory/index. html. The Observatory schedule will also be posted weekly on the Augustana Twitter page including any weather updates that may affect the schedule.

The inventor of the umbrella was originally going to call it brella. But he hesitated. I was in the shoe store this morning trying on a shoe. I said to the salesperson, “It’s too tight!” She said, “Try it with the tongue out.” I said, “It’th nho ghood, it’th thtill thoo thight!” I nally xed that annoying noise in my car. I just opened the door and pushed him out. The family that sticks together should bathe more often. Did you know it takes a plastic bag 20 to 100 years to break down, yet it takes me approximately one minor inconvenience. A neighbour saw me lling up a three-gallon gas can for my lawn mower instead of a one-gallon can and now there’s a rumour going around the neighbourhood that I won the lottery or got a huge inheritance. Ever since I turned 55, I’ve been wishing we could turn on subtitles in real life because I really can’t hear anything anyone is saying to me. I keep hearing people talk about what they’re going to do when they retire. I’m going to have to work right up to lunch on the day of my funeral. I just started to do cross t. It’s where I cross my ngers and hope my clothes t. There should be a cooking show for parents. The contestants start by working a full eight-hour day and then have 20 minutes to slap together a somewhat decent meal that the eight- and ten-year-old judges call “trash” because it’s not chicken nuggets. I grew up with Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash and Bob Hope. Now there’s no jobs, no cash and no hope. Please don’t let anything happen to Kevin Bacon! I hate it when old people say tattoos are a waste of money. Bertha, you have a china cabinet full of expensive plates that no one is allowed to use. Driving tests should have a portion where a kid in the backseat pummels you with rapid- re questions while you try to merge. I’ve always thought my neighbours were such nice people.

A man gets pulled over for speeding. As the cop approaches the car, the man asks if he can get out of the car and the cop says, “Okay.” He then asks the man why he was speeding. The man says, “You see the woman sitting in the passenger side front seat? That’s my wife. You see the woman sitting in the back seat? That’s my mother-inlaw. She has been living with us for three months now, and this morning, they had a big ght. My mother-inlaw insisted we take her home and I’m trying to get her there as quick as possible before they make up and she wants to come back home with us!” The cop looks at the man and says, “Get back in your car and I will give you a police escort with lights and siren and we will get her home!”
A trucker came into a truck stop diner and placed his order. He said, “I want three at tires, a pair of headlights and a pair of running boards.” The waitress went to the kitchen and repeated the order to the cook, wondering what the trucker meant. The cook said, “Three at tires mean three pancakes, a pair of headlights is two eggs sunny side up, and running boards are two slices of crisp bacon.” The waitress then spooned up a bowl of beans and gave it to the customer. She then looked at him with a smirk and said, “I thought while you were waiting for the at tires, headlights and running boards, you might as well gas up!”
