Julie Newton<br />

Roopers Redemption for 24 Years<br />

roopersbeverage.com<br />

Meet Julie Newton, a dedicated member<br />

of the Roopers team for 24 years. For her,<br />

working in Redemption at Roopers isn’t just<br />

a job; it’s a calling that was tailor-made for<br />

her. Julie can do anything. She even cashiered<br />

for Roopers for a while, but she requested to<br />

be in Redemption. She loves to work hard and<br />

stay busy.<br />

Over the years, she’s witnessed countless<br />

changes and challenges, but her unwavering<br />

commitment has remained constant. One<br />

of her most significant tests came during<br />

a particularly trying period in her life when<br />

her daughter suffered a seizure, followed by<br />

a brain surgery that turned Julie’s life upside<br />

down. The demands of the job, coupled with<br />

the emotional turmoil at home, created an<br />

incredible work-life shuffle. Through it all,<br />

Julie continued to excel, demonstrating her<br />

remarkable resilience and unique dedication<br />

to her colleagues and customers. Her story is<br />

a testament to the strength of character and<br />

the remarkable spirit that defines the heart of<br />

our Roopers family.<br />

To Julie from President Jesse St Laurent:<br />

“First time I remember Julie she was sitting<br />

on the giant rock out front of the Minot Ave<br />

redemption. The redemption was so slow at<br />

the time so Julie was reading a book on this<br />

big rock. The rock is no longer there, but Julie<br />

is still persevering here at Roopers. All of the<br />

years Julie has been here, she has been a rock.<br />

Consistency is such an underappreciated<br />

quality nowadays, but without it, Roopers<br />

would never be where we are at. That is<br />

because of people like Julie. The great thing<br />

about Julie is not just consistency at work but<br />

in her life as well. A great wife, a great, loving<br />

mother, and the rock she is for that family.<br />

I call her OCD at times, but not why most<br />

people think…she knows why and we will keep<br />

it that way!! Roopers appreciates you Julie;<br />

my family will ALWAYS be a Julie Newton fan.<br />

Love ya Legs!!!”<br />

Planning<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

Jacob age 85, and<br />

Rebecca age 79 are all<br />

excited about their decision<br />

to get married.<br />

They go for a stroll<br />

to discuss the wedding<br />

and on the way<br />

go past a drugstore.<br />

Jacob suggests that<br />

they go in.<br />

He addresses the man<br />

behind the counter,<br />

“Are you the owner?”<br />

The pharmacist answers,<br />

“Yes.”<br />

Jacob asks, “Do you<br />

sell heart medication?”<br />

“Of course we do.”<br />

“How about medicine<br />

for circulation?”<br />

The pharmacist said,<br />

“Yes, all kinds.”<br />

“What about medicine<br />

for rheumatism?”<br />

“Definitely,” was the<br />

reply.<br />

Jacob continued,<br />

“What about vitamins<br />

and sleeping pills?”<br />

“Absolutely,” the<br />

pharmacist informed<br />

him. “Why do you<br />

need all of those medications?”<br />

Jacob answered,<br />

“We’d like to register<br />

here for our wedding<br />

gifts.”<br />

Sunday Play<br />

Submitted by Pam Ashby<br />

Father Norton woke up<br />

one Sunday morning.<br />

It was an exceptionally<br />

beautiful and sunny<br />

early spring day, and<br />

he decided he just had<br />

to play golf.<br />

He called up his<br />

associate priest and<br />

told him that he was<br />

feeling sick and asked<br />

him to hold Mass for<br />

him that day. As soon<br />

as he hung up from<br />

talking to him, Father<br />

Norton headed for a<br />

golf course about 40<br />

miles away. He wanted<br />

to make sure that he<br />

didn’t run into anyone<br />

he knew. After all, everyone<br />

else would be<br />

in church.<br />

At the course, Father<br />

Norton asked to<br />

play alone, and as he<br />

strolled to the first tee,<br />

St. Peter leaned over<br />

to the Lord while they<br />

were looking down<br />

from Heaven and<br />

exclaimed, “You’re<br />

not going to let him<br />

get away with this, are<br />

you?”<br />

The Lord sighed and<br />

responded, “No, I<br />

guess not.”<br />

Father Norton teed<br />

his ball up and took a<br />

mighty swing. The ball<br />

came off the face of<br />

his driver like a cannon<br />

shot, straight and<br />

true. His ball landed<br />

just short of the green,<br />

bounced on it, and<br />

Ghost Story<br />

Submitted by Thomas Hill<br />

Ever since she was a<br />

little girl, when Rachel<br />

got scared she would<br />

put her hand under her<br />

bed and her dog would<br />

give her hand kisses to<br />

comfort her.<br />

Rachel was older now,<br />

and her parents were<br />

going out. They were<br />

going to be out late,<br />

and Rachel didn’t want<br />

to be alone but her<br />

parents told her she<br />

was old enough to stay<br />

home alone and she<br />

would be fine.<br />

Rachel’s parents left<br />

at 8:00pm, and after<br />

an hour and a half of<br />

watching T.V., Rachel<br />

decided to go to bed.<br />

Rachel was kinda<br />

scared, sleeping with<br />

no one home, so when<br />

she heard a whimpering<br />

sound, almost like<br />

a puppy whining. She<br />

put her hand under<br />

her bed and got some<br />

kisses, and tried to fall<br />

asleep again.<br />

Then she heard it<br />

again, the whimpering<br />

sound, so she put her<br />

hand under her bed<br />

and got more reassuring<br />

kisses.<br />

She finally fell asleep<br />

and was woken up<br />

in the morning to the<br />

sound of her dog barking<br />

in the backyard. He<br />

had been outside all<br />

night.<br />

` The skeleton knew it was going to rain on Halloween<br />

because he could feel it in his bones.<br />

A Hike In The<br />

Woods<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

Kevin is going on<br />

a hiking vacation<br />

through the mountains<br />

out West. Before<br />

setting off into the<br />

boonies, he stops into<br />

a small general store<br />

to get some supplies.<br />

After picking out the<br />

rest of his provisions,<br />

Kevin asks the old<br />

store owner, “Say, Mister,<br />

I’m going hiking<br />

up in the mountains,<br />

and I was wondering;<br />

do you have any bears<br />

around here?”<br />

“Yup,” replies the store<br />

owner.<br />

“What kind?” asks<br />

Kevin.<br />

“Well, we got black<br />

bears and we got grizzlies,”<br />

he replies.<br />

“I see,” says Kevin.<br />

“Do you have any of<br />

those bear bells?”<br />

“What do you mean?”<br />

asks the store owner.<br />

I have abs. They are just hidden under my love for food.<br />

Though many would argue<br />

that candy corn tastes like<br />

chicken feed, that's not how it<br />

got its original name. Created<br />

in the 1880s by George<br />

Renninger, it was sold to the<br />

masses by Goelitz Confectionery<br />

Company (now Jelly Belly<br />

Co.) at the turn of the century.<br />

Because corn is what was used<br />

to feed chickens, the creation<br />

was called "Chicken Feed" and<br />

the box was marked with a<br />

colorful rooster.<br />

“You know,” replies<br />

Kevin, “those little<br />

tinkle-bells that people<br />

wear in bear country<br />

to warn the bears that<br />

they are coming, so<br />

they don’t surprise<br />

the bears and get<br />

attacked.”<br />

“Oh yeah,” replies the<br />

owner. “They’re over<br />

there,” he says, pointing<br />

to a shelf on the<br />

other side of the store.<br />

he bailed out.<br />

Unfortunately, there<br />

were only three parachutes<br />

remaining.<br />

The doctor grabbed<br />

one and said “I’m a<br />

doctor, I save lives,<br />

so I must live,” and<br />

jumped out.<br />

The lawyer then said,<br />

“I’m a lawyer and lawyers<br />

are the smartest<br />

people in the world.<br />

I deserve to live.” He<br />

also grabbed a parachute<br />

The priest looked at<br />

the little boy and said,<br />

“My son, I’ve lived a<br />

long and full life. You<br />

are young and have<br />

your whole life ahead<br />

of you. Take the last<br />

parachute and live in<br />

peace.”<br />

The little boy handed<br />

the parachute back<br />

to the priest and said,<br />

“Not to worry, Father.<br />

The ‘smartest man in<br />

the world’ just took off<br />

with my back pack!”<br />

PET SITTING<br />

Blind as a<br />

Bat<br />

Submitted by Trevor Saunders<br />

A vampire bat came<br />

flapping in for the night<br />

covered in fresh blood<br />

and parked himself on<br />

the ceiling of the cave<br />

to get some sleep.<br />

Pretty soon all the<br />

other bats smelled the<br />

blood and started hassling<br />

him about where<br />

he got it.<br />

He told them to leave<br />

him alone and let him<br />

get some sleep, but<br />

they persisted until he<br />

finally gave in.<br />

“Okay, follow me” he<br />

said and flapped out of<br />

the cave with hundreds<br />

of bats behind him.<br />

Down through a valley<br />

they went, across a river<br />

and into a forest of<br />

trees. Finally he slowed<br />

down and all the other<br />

bats excitedly milled<br />

around him.<br />

“Now, do you see that<br />

giant oak over there?”<br />

he asked.<br />

“YES, YES, YES”<br />

all the other bats<br />

SCREAMED in a<br />

frenzy.<br />

“Good” said the<br />

first bat, “because I<br />

didn’t!”<br />

Jack, who was eternally doomed to roam<br />

the earth at night after making a deal with<br />

the devil. To guide his way, he lit a coal<br />

in a carved out turnip, inspiring Irish and<br />

Scottish people to do the same. When they<br />

later immigrated to America however, they<br />

realized the native pumpkins there had a<br />

more ideal surface for carving.<br />

“CHOOSING CINDY AS OUR REALTOR WAS THE BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE!<br />

Being two first time buyers in the real estate world, we wanted someone we could fully trust to<br />

guide us through the process. When I say we had a lot of questions; we had A LOT of questions!<br />

It didn’t matter if we called, texted, or emailed Cindy, she always got back to us in no time<br />

and never made us feel like any question was a bad one. We are BEYOND grateful for Cindy<br />

helping us achieve such a major milestone in our lives.” — Blayke Morin, August <strong>2023</strong><br />
