This Camera Is For Real

FTLComm - Tisdale - Tuesday, June 12, 2001, Images by Wesley Parkvold, Story by: Todd Wakefield

"This camera is for real" she said as she fervidly exhibited her satisfaction with the summer employment program. That's right, Tisdale's own Erin Tarala is in a position of power! Yeah, I know I found it frightening too, until I confronted my fears and faced it head on. I realized there was nothing to fear. We met with Erin and she was very excited to see us, me a little more so than Wes. But she was fun to talk to and said she would even help me to find a job. She is very informed with the goings on in Tisdale, she explained to me a great many things in our short time. Among the revelations were, allot about cameras, that is if something is illegal to display, display it, because it looks nice. In her exact words "I leave them there because they look nice", she also explained to me that there is a whole week dedicated to Summer Employment, a whole week! I only have one day dedicated to me! MY BIRTHDAY! And, summer employment gets a whole week, June 16-22, and that the government won't help you find a summer job if you are under twelve and over twenty-nine, which to me sounds like discrimination because of age but, whatever. Erin took the initiative and talked to over the seventy businesses who are participating in the Summer Employment Centre. She talked about the program and when it would be active and if they would be interested in donating prizes, like a camera like in the first picture (donated by Zellers) or Fish hooks for the likes of which

we were unable to get a picture. I caught Erin off guard when I asked her how I could get her job, she replied "I'm not quite sure", I was a little surprised to find out that a person who helps other people find a job doesn't really know how she got hers. Erin was happy to see Wes and myself arrive, but was even happier when we left, I didn't want to, but she bribed me with an undisclosed amount of free gifts, I asked if it was a bribe, she acknowledged that it was, and that she was guilt free, What did you do, you ask, as a budding journalist? Well I did what any good Samaritan would do. That's right, I took the gifts and left, because Erin said if she had to look at me for another second she was going to jump out the window, and she's a really nice lady, so I didn't want her to do that. So I ran away before she could throw anything heavy.
