Former head of the RCMP Musical Ride Fred Rasmussen passes away MOUSH JOHN Editor

A beloved Tofield community member and former head of the RCMP Musical Ride, Fred Rasmussen passed away last month.

Rasmussen, who lived with his wife Lorraine in the community was a known face in Tofield and area.

Known as a ‘rough rider’ and ‘riding master’, he trained and presented Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II with her famous horse, Burmese. He also had the honour of riding with the Queen around the castle grounds in 1974, during the Ride on a seven-country European tour.

Rasmussen grew up on a farm in Denmark during WWII, where he learnt to love horses.

Once he immigrated to Canada after the war, Rasmussen joined the Force, and dedicated 26 years of service to the horses and those who rode or wanted to learn to ride.

After his engagement into the Force in 1952 at Edmonton, his first appointment was to Fort Walsh, SK, which was located in the Cypress Hills.

From April until midJuly for 13 years, Rasmussen was responsible for the care of the three Force owned stallions and the Foal Breeding Program.

The years at Fort Walsh were filled with fond memories for him, which he captured in his book, A Collection of Memories: My Life With Horses.

Rasmussen wrote: “It was soothing to one’s mind and soul to see all the cattle grazing on the land, and with my love of horses, it gave me joy to see all the brood mares and their foals, sharing the land with the cattle.

In that setting, I found a unique panorama of tranquility, which was so special to the Cypress Hills.”

In 1967, Rasmussen was posted to The Musical Ride in Ottawa, Ont. His passion and intrinsic talent in working with

abeth II. Burmese became the Queen’s favourite mount for the annual Trooping of the Colours 18 years in succession, while Centenial was used

by Prince Charles.

In 1978, Rasmussen retired and in 2002, he was awarded Her Majesty’s Golden Jubilee Medal.

Rasmussen passed away in Tofield on a Friday afternoon, Jan. 22.

Step 1 of Alberta’s four-step framework underway Moush John Tofield Mercury

The Govt. of Alberta launched Step 1 of its four-step framework eas-

ing restrictions across the board on Monday, Feb. 8.

With the health system

and hospitalizations remaining below 600, Premier Jason Kenney said,

“This is a cautious step forward that protects both lives and livelihoods and it is only possible thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of Albertans.

“Together, we are beginning to pave a path

forward for our people, our economy, and our health-care system.

We’ve bent the curve and need to keep on bending it in the weeks ahead.”

Sunshine Villa keeps residents busy Moush John Tofield Mercury

Sunshine Villa residents have been busy with various activities throughout January asthey look forward to spring.

“We observed two well known persons’ birthdays in January – Elvis Presley’s on 8th and Robbie Burns on 25th!” said Julie Ishida, activity coordinator at the Villa. “For the former, we had an Elvis Presley activity. I made up a quiz about Elvis.”

The questions were posted along the third floor hallway, which encouraged walking as residents went to find the questions to test their knowledge about Elvis Presley and to learn more about him.

“Resident Barry Brittain shared some of his Elvis music CDs, which

Betty Tensen is thrilled after building her tower. SUBMITTED PHOTO/JULIE ISHIDA were playing while the residents were doing the quiz,” she added. “After they made the rounds of the questions, they gathered in the Activity Room to go over the answers.

“There are definitely some Elvis fans at the Sunshine Villa. All participants received Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, as a salute to Presley’s love of peanut butter.”

Barry Brittain has a CD

of Elvis singing gospel music in his music collection, according to Ishida.

“Since the residents are really missing church services and church music, it was arranged for Barry to play his Elvis Gospel Music for the residents on a Saturday afternoon,” Ishida explained. “The afternoon of listening to music turned out so well that it Continued on Page 15

Continued from Page 4 public about following or attempting to engage suspects or suspicious activity directly. The RCMP asks that the public not to place themselves in these situations and only to report the suspicious/criminal activity to your local RCMP detachment, when you see it. Often times, suspects involved in criminal activity can be unpredictable due to the possibility of potential alcohol and drug use. Your safety is a priority and direct involvement with them can put that safety at extreme risk.

On Feb. 4, Tofield RCMP responded to a suspicious person complaint in Tofield. The complainant reports that a known person attended their residence and was trying to gain entry to the residence. RCMP spoke to the complainant and confirmed that they knew the identity of the suspect although refused further investigation at this time.

On Feb. 5, Tofield RCMP responded to a complaint at the Tofield High School. RCMP spoke to representatives at the school and cooperatively were able to resolve the complaint without further issue.

If you are wondering why he has his own TV, in a different part of the house than mine which is upstairs – his is in the

family room – it is our different tastes in TV shows. If I want to watch The Bachelor or The Voice, and he wants to watch CNN news or Mountain Men, we part company.

It’s cheaper than a divorce and no one has to sit and pout or make disparaging remarks that spoil the other ’s watching enjoyment.

My TV is newer, bigger, Smart and loaded with Amazon and Netflix and a few of their friends.

His wasn’t.

The shop blamed Covid when they didn’t get back to him – I’m not sure what excuse they used before Covid, possibly a shift in Earth’s orbit or sun flares. Eventually they said the motherboard was screwed and a new one would cost him over $300 plus labour, far more than the 10 year old TV was worth.

So he bought a newer, bigger, smarter one, set it up and started swearing because no matter how

many times he read the instructions he couldn’t install Amazon Prime.

Netflix was fine but Amazon had him ready to go back to watching the ants. Instead he called their help line and was told they’d be happy to fix the problem – for $1,000. (Insert more cursing here.)

Hubby finally called a friend who had helped us through many tech problems in the past. He had everything working in about 20 minutes, and it

Alberta’s role in Canada MP Damien Kurek Battle River-Crowfoot

Alberta has become one of the best places in the world to live, work, and invest, even though the current challenges we face can overshadow those accomplishments. I’m both a proud Canadian and Albertan and I take pride in the knowledge that my nation has benefited immensely as a result of my provinces’ success. It’s clear, however, that Alberta has not always been treated as an equal and respected partner in our federation.

Increasingly folks in Alberta are telling me they feel like Canada has given up on them. These are not simply a few vocal voices at the fringe. These people include business owners, community leaders, health care professionals, athletes, teachers, and lawyers. And by and large, they don’t want to give up on Canada; they simply

feel left behind. This challenge transcends political affiliation and, if not taken seriously, the consequences could be grave.

Over the last century, we have seen many actions that have contributed to this. The current Liberal Government has accelerated this, and we have seen an unprecedented consolidation of power in the Federal Government and intrusion into provincial decision making (Bills C48 & C-69 and the imposition of the carbon tax, to cite a few examples).

Many folks who have entered into this debate are quick to blame the foundations of our country for these problems. I see how one would easily come to that conclusion, and yet when I look at the founding documents and history of Canada, I see the solution. The only way

that the Fathers of Confederation came to an agreement in the lead up to 1867 was recognizing the need for unity that included safeguards that respected regions, cultures, economies, and languages.

Government needs to not only know what they are responsible for but where they should not be involved and respect the jurisdictions of other levels of Government, regardless of political differences.

The solution must start with respect.

However, that doesn’t dismiss where reform is needed. A few of those reforms I will write about in the future include the Senate, representation in the House of Commons, the equalization formula, and the justice system.

It’s tragic that folks are questioning whether they can be both a proud Canadian and a proud Albertan. The fact that many Albertans, and folks from other

western provinces, are even considering separation should concern every Canadian.

Especially when the answer to addressing these divisions was built into the fabric of our nation. The current government has shown itself incapable of unifying our country. A change is needed, and that’s a change that Conservatives are ready to bring, starting with respect.

I welcome your feedback on this, regardless of your pol-

itics or position on the issue. This is a conversation that needs to be had, and your input would be appreciated.

Moush John Tofield Mercury

The pandemic has been tough for the seniors in the community, which has led to Beaver Foundation focusing on its residents’ mental health and well being.

“During this current pandemic it has been very difficult on our residents and their families as visits have been so rare according to the social distancing guidelines we’ve been following,” said Owen Ligard, Beaver Foundation CAO. “We are so proud of our

managers and staff at all our lodges including Sunshine Villa, Tofield Lodge, Holden Lodge, and Vialta Lodge. The activities created by lodge staff have been amazing and creative in hopes to enrich our seniors’ mental heath.”

Ligard said that whether it was bringing in Christmas cheer during December or heralding the New Year, all Foundation staff were exceptional in creating activities that helped seniors remain hopeful and positive as much as possible.

“With so much empha-

sis on everything virtual because of the pandemic, we have purchased a Telus Smart Hub and a new laptop for each lodge specifically for residents to use during activties and to be able to schedule online visits with friends and families, because being able to see your loved ones and connecting with them albeit virtually is very important for mental health,” he added. “The Lodge had a lot of fun things to do – reindeer hunting, snowman races, hot chocolate afternoon, crokinole tournament,

Wii bowling tournament, hockey night in Canada, movie days, salt dough art and Hawaiian Day – and so did our other facilities! One particular event, which stood out was reindeer hunting that had the staff put up Chirstmas trees as residents engaged and shot one another with the nerf guns!”

Ligard hopes that more people will recognize their efforts especially during the pandemic, with almost all visits and services being cancelled, weekly visits from doctors to shuttle bus service.

RCMP were able to identify the male and found that the male was on a court ordered condition to not attend this specific residence. On Feb. 8, 2021, RCMP subsequently charged Michael Darrell Hilsabeck of

Tofield with failure to comply with condition of an undertaking contrary to Section 145(4)(a) of the Criminal Code.

On Dec. 11, 2019, Tofield RCMP responded to a suspicious person complaint in Beaver County. When RCMP arrived, they were advised by the

complainant that an unknown female was attempting to steal a motor vehicle on the property.

RCMP located and arrested the female, identified as Megan Naomi Regnier of Lloydminster, and charged her with the following: • Theft of motor vehicle contrary to Section

subsequently failed to appear in court on Feb. 8, 2021 and a warrant has now been issued for her arrest.

Beaver County Councillors give Reeve go-ahead to pursue 870 upgrade Patricia Harcourt Reeve Jim Kallal (Division 2) asked for support from other Beaver County councillors to pursue the upgrade of Secondary Highway 870.

After discussion at the Feb. 3 regular council meeting, council agreed the Minister of Transportation Ric McIver, and other officials, should be lobbied. The highway is being seen as a means of contributing to the economic development of the region and province and Kallal wants to take advantage of that perception.

Kallal told council he spoke with McIver at a recent zone meeting about the 870.

“McIver’s eyes really perked up, especially in light of what the county’s done with economic development and P&H,” he said, referring to the Parrish and Heimbecker regional grain terminal established just outside Viking in Beaver County.

In a letter to council, he said: “I really feel we have a very strong case and would hope that council would support the efforts and purpose to pursue the completion of 870 further and immediately have a letter drafted to our MLA and all respected Ministers, as well as have ADM Tom Loo included.

“We can honestly say we have put millions into the attraction of P&H with the tax incentive as well (as) the newly adopted MCC all relate to our commitment to economic development for the region as a whole,” Kallal stated.

The 870 is seen as a service road connecting the north-south of the

province to the highways running east and west. Council feels that the highways 36 and 14 which converge at Viking take an inordinate amount of the traffic that could go on the 870 and other connector roads if the portions left to gravel could be upgraded and paved.

Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson, in whose area the 870 runs in the county’s east end, stated: “This is a 40-year-old problem.”

Pederson said that, when the NDP were in power in 2017 he made a presentation to then transport minister Brian Mason, mainly due to the fact P&H was coming to Viking.

But the province relies on traffic counts to decide on which roads to work on. Pederson said the 870’s traffic count has not changed in the past five or six years.

The difference now is that the current Super B’s being used by grain terminals can carry four times the load of a smaller grain truck used in previous years.

“That’s four trips compared to one now,” he said.

Pederson said the tonnage should be looked at instead of the traffic counts, noting that highways 36, 14 and 619 all meet at Viking.

Pederson said he wants to reduce the bottleneck of traffic at that junction by getting drivers to use the 870 into other feeder roads, however, “if you depend on the numbers it’s never going to meet the threshold,” of use.

And, looking at the “big picture,” he said, “it’s not up to the county to pay for that (road upgrade at 870)…

All the traffic (coming from) the outside (of the area) is making that road unbearable.

“We’ve got to get the province to realize the situation.” Pederson noted his frustration at bringing the matter up “year after year,” and that the surrounding municipalities support the idea, along with the regional grain plants in Daysland and Camrose.

“There’s a corner of northeast Alberta that would benefit from hard surfacing on that road,” he said. “It’s not just Beaver County that would benefit from that.”

Division 4 Councillor Barry Bruce agreed: “If you build it they will come,” he said.

As a Class 1 driver, Bruce says he drives “way out of my way to avoid those roads,” which unfairly screws the traffic accounts away from what might be happening with a decent road to drive.

“Councillor Pederson hit it right on the nose,” he said, referring to “the weight (of trucks) has to be taken into account..There’s less traffic but far more weight” on 870.

“I want a fair deal in our province,” said Bruce, adding that there are large unpaved sections of rural roads. “Well, of course nobody is using those roads…(drivers) go a mile out of their way to avoid them.”

“We need our roads, too,” he said.

“The government needs to do more and support agriculture.”

Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook pointed out that the province has three fewer rural MLAs since the last election and electoral boundaries wee reconfigured, reducing rural representation in the Legislature.

“The 870 has been one of the top priorities for several terms,” he said.

“I’m very much in favour of beating the drum on this…It’s important to the area.”

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) said in order to pave the 870 “we would have to partner with the province.”

But the county needs to be realistic, he said, as “there is no money.”

The province told council there was no funding available to pave a portion of the 626, but suggested petitioning the province about the 870 could still be done.

“Maybe that’s where we start,” he said, “show the province we are serious.” Hrabec agreed with Pederson about the weight of trucks being more of an issue than the traffic count.

“One gravel hauling truck is the equivalent of 40 to 60 Honda Civics,” he said.

Pederson voiced his concern for safety at the Viking highway intersection, adding: “Paving (870) would benefit the freight (haulers) for the northeast Alberta corner.”

Kallal said McIver’s “ears perked up” at the mention of economic development possibilities, including the gravel, grain and oil and gas hauling in the area, including P&H and the tank farm at Hardisty, and the busy Highway 14 corridor.

“It just seems that the east end (of the county) has been forgotten,” he said, stating the 870 “Is a terrible stretch of road.”

Council passed a motion to support a letter written by the reeve and administration regarding the paving of S.H. 870 to affected stakeholders and McIvor, as well as petitioning of Camrose MLA and Alberta Transportation.

2 - Beaver County Chronicle, February 10, 2021

Council looks to change dust control policy back to 50/50 split Patricia Harcourt A year ago Beaver County Council discontinued the 50/50 split for dust control between the county and ratepayers, citing the need to tighten the budget in light of economic realities.

Removed at the Feb. 5, 2020 council meeting was the part of the policy that read: “The fee for short term applications will be imposed a a fee for service calculated on a basis of 50 per cent of the cost of dust suppression product.”

In its place, council put in a policy that “2020 will be calculated on the basis of 100 per cent of cost of the dust suppression product.”

With the subsidy program discontinued for that one year so that residents had to pay 100 of the cost for dust control product, council is looking to reverse the initiative, citing that the budget and taxes collected are better than anticipated.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) stated that the reason the dust control policy had been changed a year ago was that “at the time we were planning (for) doom and gloom,” economically, and expected only 75 per cent of the taxes to be paid in 2020.

Hrabec said now that the budgetary situation looks better for 2021, “I want to stay with 50/50,” in terms of cost sharing with residents over short term dust control.

“It’s user pay and doesn’t take any extra tax burden,” he said, adding the financial statement looks like the county is “$1 million to the good.”

He added that he thought the county can pay for half the dust control. “I say thank God we didn’t have as much doom and gloom as we anticipated,” he said, calling the decision last year “a knee jerk reaction” indicating the priority based budgeting method “failed as Reeve Kallal says.”

Hrabec made a motion for the county to revert back to the original 50/50 cost sharing for short-term dust control applications, citing the fact that the budget this year has “$1 million extra to the good so we don’t have to take that (subsidy) away.”

County Transportation Director Dan Blackie said the county saved $100,000 in 2020 with the residents paying 100 per cent or the dust control including $60,000 not spent on product.

Hrabec said that reverting back to the previous longstanding 50/50 cost sharing subsidy isn’t intended to devalue priority based budgeting. “But there are unintended consequences sometimes that outweighs the value of what the (PBB) service is,” he said.

The results was that the county last year sold less than half the amount of dust control it normally has in other years, he said, hinting the problem was due to people having to pay all the cost.

Council discussed the particulars including the fact that the present dust control policy needs to match the fee for services bylaw.

Councillor Kevin Smook’s (Division 1) suggestion that, because there was o advanced notice for the re-instating of the former 50/50 policy, he preferred to deal with the matter at the Feb. 17 meeting of council.

The re-instated 50/50 policy could then be in place for the end of that week and public works could proceed with notifying residents of the dust control application deadline.

Smook made a motion that administration bring back the Fee for Services Bylaw to the Feb. 17 meeting for review regarding the dust control policy, noting this would give councillors time to talk to residents.

Timelines were discussed and Blackie said the closing date on dust control is April 15, adding: “We’ll make whatever (is decided) work.” CAO Bob Beck said administration would have less than two months once a decision was made but that would work.

So Hrabec rescinded his earlier motion and let Smook’s motion stand to review the Fee for Services bylaw at the next council meeting regarding dust control fees. This motion was carried.

Beaver County Chronicle, February 10, 2021 - 3

County councillors still want twinning of Highway 14 despite refusal Patricia Harcourt Beaver County Council discussed the potential of twinning Highway 14 following a response to Reeve Jim Kallal’s request made in to December to the Minister of Transportation Ric McIver.

McIver stated that the highway did not meet the necessary traffic counts in order to qualify for such work, and Kallal took issue with the minister saying the road isn’t busy enough.

“This highway is becoming a very dangerous and busy highway,” he said, at the virtual Feb. 3 meeting. Kallal, councillor for Division 2) referred to the “cumulative effects” on the highway, and said that “safety is another big issue.”

The reeve said he would “continue to advocate” for the twinning of the highway in Beaver County, as he has for the past 30 years.

However, Division 5 Councillor Dale Pederson felt that “there will be a long time before anything happens,” although he supported the advocacy.

In his letter, McIver said: “I

appreciate that Highway 14 is an important link in the provincial highway network and that the traffic has increased in recent years.”

Indeed, the last 10 years has seen a marked uptick in the number of giant vessels and equipment moving through the county west and then north at Viking. The route is considered a corridor for such large vessel transportation.

But McIver does not consider this in his estimation of what is needed, citing the fact that the traffic volumes must reach 10,000 per day to be considered for twinning. At present, the traffic volumes are listed as 6,850 per day on the highway as a whole and 5,450 vehicles per day near Tofield.

But Division 4 Councillor Barry Bruce said he never uses Highway 14 because “it’s too dangerous,” and takes Highway 16 instead (which is twinned).

“I could take a poll to find out how many people don’t use it because of the safety issue,” he said, alluding to the fact that the numbers are down because the highway is unsafe.

Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec

(Division 3) felt the weights of the vehicles, many of them trucks or large vessels, makes a difference in the traffic count. Hrabec said he wanted this “followed up on” as another form of more realistic statistic.

Hrabec said the highway has had no maintenance on it until last summer, which he called “a make work project” that should be continued. “Those trucks are pounding the (blank) out of that road,” he said. “When you’ve got holes you could lay a body into…they are big holes.”

Hrabec suggested following the letter up with a communication to Alberta Transportation’s regional director Mike Damberger.

Hrabec’s motion to invite Damberger to speak with council at an upcoming meeting of council was passed.

Reeve Kallal mentioned the meeting should be in session. But Division 1 Councillor Kevin Smook said he wanted the meeting with Damberger to be in open session.

“I would want everyone to hear,” he said, in the interests of transparency.

NEW SMALL BUSINESS CLASSIFICATION On February 3, 2021, Beaver County Council established a new assessment classification for small businesses. Council recognizes that small businesses are struggling in our current economy and is considering a reduction in the tax rate for this key sector of our rural community.

To be eligible for the small business classification, a non-residential property must meet certain criteria, including a valid development/ business permit, employment of fewer than 50 full-time staff, and submission of an application by the deadline date.

Council will decide on the small business tax rate when the annual budget is approved in the Spring. Provincial legislation limits the tax rate to no less than 75% of the general non-residential tax rate.

To enable small businesses to take advantage of this program in the 2021 tax year, applications will be accepted on or before March 15, 2021 by e-mail, fax, or mail. Post-marked applications will not be accepted. For more information and an application form, go to the County’s website at www.beaver.ab.ca.

CARC continues to raise awareness despite COVID Moush John Tofield Mercury

The Community Attraction and Retention Committee (CARC) Chair Cyndy Heslin and Vice Chair Brenda Chehade, along with their team have been raising awareness within the community and beyond even though many of their events were put on hold because of COVID. On Tuesday, Feb. 9, CARC were asked to present at the Transition to Practice for Nurses on Tofield and surrounding areas.

“We were invited to present at the Transition to Practice for Nurses on Tofield and area, and what the advantages of choosing this coummunity would be,” said Vice Chair Brenda Chehade.

“The committee has plans for other attraction and retention events but they have been put on hold due to COVID-19!”

She explained that the purpose of the committee is to build a sustainable system for health profession’s attraction and retention in collaboration with local healthcare providers, which will ensure ongoing healthcare service provisions to the community.

CARC is a committee made up of members from a wide variety of representation from each of the following groups – community representatives including a cross section of municipal leadership, local businesses, education, social service organizations, and community champions; Tofield and Area Health Services Foundation; Alberta Health Services; Hospital Staff/HCP representative; and RhPAP community consultant.

led to a new activity: Saturday Afternoon Listening Room! Each Saturday afternoon, the residents listen to recordings of music, and so far it has been a variety of gospel music.”

According to Ishida, since February is Black History Month, there will be some Saturday afternoons with recordings by Black musicians as well.

“The Elvis Presley activity also inspired the launch of another new activity – the Movie Night choice for January,” she noted. “On the evening of Jan. 22, the movie was Blue Hawaii, starring Elvis Presley, so the residents could go to Hawaii, too, via a movie . . . with Elvis!”

For Robbie Burns’ birthday, Ishida prepared a quiz about his works and life.

“After they got the questions answered as

Alberta Step 1 Continued from Page 2 limited indoor and outdoor children’s sport and performance activities, one-on-one indoor personal fitness with a trainer, and dine-in service at restaurants, cafés and pubs are now permitted provincewide.

“We are making progress, but we still have a long road ahead of us,” said Minister of Health Tyler Shandro.

“Our health providers have done their part to keep the health system operating during the second wave, and now we must all do our part to keep each other safe and continue driving hospitalizations downward.”

K-12 schools and postsecondary children’s sport and performance activities, such as physical education classes, can now use off-site facilities to support curriculum-related educational activities.

Lessons, practices and conditioning activities,

but not games, may occur for indoor team-based minor sports/activities and school athletics.

• All participants must be 18 years old or younger, excluding coaches or trainers.

• Maximum of 10 individuals, including all coaches, trainers and participants.

• Participants must stay physically distanced from each other at all times.

“It is important for us all to remember that there is a reason we are moving slowly to lift restrictions – the fact that we have seven times more COVID-19 cases in hospital and intensive care than we did in May last year,” explained Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Chief Medical Officer of Health. “t is more important than ever that we each follow public health measures every day. We need to harness our collective power to prevent cases from rising so we can protect one another

and the health-care system.”

One-on-one individual and one-on-one household training is now permitted for indoor fitness activities, for instance, fitness in dance studios, training figure skating on ice, and one-on-one lessons.

Restaurants, cafés and pubs can now reopen for dine-in services, with establishments collecting the contact information of one person from the dining party. Up to a maximum of six people per table is allowed; individuals must be from the same household or the two close contacts for people living alone.

Liquor service ends at 10 p.m.; in-person dining must close by 11 p.m.; and entertainment such as VLTs, pool tables, and live music are not permitted.

A decision on Step 2 will be made if, on Feb. 28, there are 450 or fewer hospitalizations and the number is declining.

best they could, we went through them together.

Brian Donovan, originally from Glasgow, Scotland, recited verses from the ‘Address to a Haggis’,

by Burns,” Ishida said.

“Then there was a draw for some tins of shortbread, and we ended up knowing more about Burns than when we started!”

Residents also did some STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) activites, which is a way to keep them stimulated with hands-on learning and experimenting, according to Ishida.

“Each participating resident had a table to build on with a supply of solo cups. It was great fun to see the towers grow and the room get brighter and cheerier with all the colours of the cups.”
