He had tough shoes to fi ll, taking over for Percy Enns,” he recalls. Enns had served in the role for 20 years and had actu- ally been trying to convince Doell to join the department earlier—something he wishes he had done. “I didn’t feel I was ready then, but, looking back, I wish I had done it sooner, during Percy’s reign, because he was really a legend in his own time,” Doell says, noting it was under Enns that the 4th St. fi re hall got built. That said, Doell says he’s been proud to serve under ev- ery chief who’s taken on the mantle since then, includ- ing Elias (who was instrumental in launching the de- partment’s annual fundraising supper), Abe Suderman, Henry Derksen, Garry Klassen (under whose direction the new Pembina Ave. fi re hall was constructed), and the most recent chief, Richard Paetzold. Each brought something different to the role and helped grow the department. “For me, really, it was easy to serve, because the leader- ship that we’ve had with the chiefs ... there’s no words for it. They set the bar so high,” says Doell. “With leadership like that, it’s just been a real pleasure to serve.” The support of the community and a desire to give back to it is also part of what kept Doell with the department. “I’ve got to say, the RM and the City, the mayor and the councillors, they’ve always given us their support. They’ve always had our backs,” he says. “And so did the commu- nity. It’s unbelievable the support from citizens and from the business community ... they always come to the plate 16032ge0 for the fi re department.” He also couldn’t have stayed involved if not for the sup- port of his family. “I can’t forget to say how important the wives are [to the department],” Doell stresses. “My wife’s always been supportive and anytime we do a fundraiser the wives all pitch in. And when we go out on a call, they’re the ones taking care of the family .... whatever needs to be done. It’s all part of it.” > SILOAM MISSION, FROM PG. 4 The question, then, was what to do with the art. The answer was clear to the students: raffl e it off and give the money right back to Siloam. “The draw is on the 21st and we’re hoping to sell all 1,500 tickets and make $2,500,” Madak said. The kids will be selling tickets (three for $5) during par- ent-teacher conferences March 17-18 and at a special gala event they’re hosting March 10 for family and friends to explain more about their service learning project. The general public can also pick up raffl e tickets and check out the artwork by stopping by the ECS offi ce dur- ing school hours between now and March 21. The kids’ involvement with Siloam won’t end with this raffl e—they will continue with their monthly item collec- tion drives through to the end of the school year. All that work has been most certainly worth it, they say. “You can make a difference in someone’s life,” stressed Abbey. “It’s a really good experience knowing you can help people in need,” agreed Carley. 8 The Winkler Morden Voice Thursday, March 10, 2016 gettinformedNEWS > VIEWS > WINKLER > MORDEN > SURROUNDING AREAS
