Sheep River Inter-municipal Library got the word outabout their project at a June 17th information forumheld in the Turner Valley Town Council Chambers.

The open house displayed exhibits, presentationsand an open discussion between partners and the pub-lic regarding construction of a new 10,000 square-footfacility. Construction has already commenced on a siteimmediately west of the Flare & Derrick and stake-holders are aiming to make the library the most “effi-cient and green building in Turner Valley.”

With insulated concrete forms and other energy effi-cient features, the new facility will adhere to Leadershipin Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver stan-dards. It will also house meeting room space with videoconferencing capabilities, free high speed wirelessinternet and offer the community a variety of coursesand programs.

Serving the communities of Black Diamond, TurnerValley and the M.D. of Foothills, demand for programsand services offered at the Sheep River Inter-municipalLibrary has outgrown the current location. Throughresearch and planning to accommodate current andfuture needs, the Library Board formed a business planthat includes land donated by the Town of Turner Val-ley and a projected budget of $2.949 million. Estimatedannual operational costs average $ 190,000 and theTown will cover any overages.

The business plan also indicates expected projectbenefits to includeshort and long-term job opportu-nities, provision ofessential servicesfor our growingpopulation andthe future possi-bility of incorpo-rating a commu-nity centre on thesite.

Does Turner Valley have any buildings in thedowntown that are of historical significance to thecommunity? Are there any buildings that are of historicalimportance to you or your family?

The Town of Turner Valley is conducting a survey andinventory of the buildings in the downtown and wants tohear from people who have stories, photographs andmore information about the history and development ofthe commercial area of the town.

The Town has contracted Community DesignStrategies Inc. (CDS Inc) to conduct the survey of thedowntown buildings and evaluate the historicalsignificance and architectural integrity of the structures.Over the next couple of months you may see tworesearchers who will be photographing buildings in thedowntown and also noting architectural features of eachof the buildings. Merinda Conley and Robert Earley will beconducting the work primarily on weekends looking atabout 20 buildings over 50 years old deemed to bepotentially significant. They are looking forward tomeeting Turner Valley residents who can tell themanything about the buildings and why they are significantin the history and development of the town.

There will also be an opportunity at an Open House forthe public in Turner Valley Council Chambers from 7:00PM – 9:00 PM on July 12, 2010 where you can relate yourstories and show your photos to the researchers. Do youknow who built some of the buildings, what were thebusinesses and who were some of the people who workedin these buildings? Do you have any photographs of whatthe buildings once looked like? If you do have eitherphotos or information please attend the Open House.-

That Canada Day used to becalled Dominion Day.That at one time, Turner Valleywas the largest oil producer in theBritish Empire.That Black Diamond produced650 tons of high-grade coal annu-ally in the early 1900’s.

Did you know . . .

Though many Americans might not know it, Canada also has a reason to look forward to the month of July. While Americans spend each July 4 celebrating their independence

from Great Britain, July 1st marks the birthday of America's neighbours to the north. On July 1st, 1867, the British colonies in North America, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick

and the Province of Canada, officially joined and became Canada. On that date, the new country became a federation of four provinces, as the previously known Province of Canada

was divided into Ontario and Quebec. While Canada was officially considered its own country on July 1st, 1867, British Parliament did manage to maintain some political control for

many years thereafter. Gradually that political control diminished, and in 1982 Great Britain officially surrendered its last vestiges of control. While the anniversary was celebrated by

Canadians as early as 1868, the holiday was not officially established until 1879. Even then, the celebration was known as Dominion Day, a reference to the country's designation as a

dominion in the British North America Act. What's more, no official celebrations were held for what eventually became known as Canada Day until 1917, which marked the 50th

anniversary of Canada's break from Britain. Much of that is likely due to the country's own citizens, many of whom still felt themselves to be primarily British. That indifference

continued until the late 1950s, when public opinion began to sway as the country's centennial drew closer. After that centennial arrived in 1967, more and more Canadians embraced

what was then still known as Dominion Day. Today, Canadians commemorate Canada Day in fashion similar to how Americans celebrate their own Independence Day. Parades and

backyard barbecues are common, as are grandiose nighttime fireworks displays. In addition, citizenship ceremonies for new citizens occur across the country each July 1st.

Millie needs your help.She's running fine, the

four cylinders that have duti-fully powered her around theMillarville-area countrysidefor the last 60 years still purr-ing like a kitten.

It's just . . . . . well, how dowe put this politely? Milliemight be young at heart butshe could use a trip to thebeauty parlour, a real-lifemakeover.

While some may value thatnew car smell or the shinysheen of a sparkling truckjust off the lot, the folks putt-ing together the 103rdannual Priddis & MillarvilleFair think their Millie, a 1950Massey Harris 44 tractor, isfairly golden in both her ageand her well-earned polish ofrust, even as her gas engineheart is still as plucky as aspring chicken.

Millie will be the subject ofan upcoming, unique, sum-mer-long raffle benefiting thenon-profit Millarville Racing& Agricultural Society (akaMillarville Racetrack) withthe winning ticket beingpulled at the August 21stPriddis & Millarville Fair.

Millie was donated to bene-fit MRAS and specifically theFair by Paul Teskey of PJTVentures, who also volun-teers to run the tractor pullevents at the Priddis &Millarville Fair.

"To tell you the truth, Mil-lie is actually running betterthan a lot of the other tractorsin my collection so I was actu-ally a little torn about partingwith her after I had offeredher up to help with the Fair,"said Teskey. "But the Fair is agreat institution in our com-munity and I wanted to helpout as much as I could."

"We think Millie is a greatsymbol of the ranching andagricultural legacy put for-ward every year, for 103 con-secutive years, by the Priddis& Millarville Fair," said FairBoard Chairman Bill Powell."We considered giving her atouch-up ourselves to makeher a little more presentablebut thought the choice of howthat might be done would bebetter left in the hands ofwhomever might take herhome. She might be won by aserious collector taking thetime to detail her back to heroriginal beauty or it might besomeone thinking a better col-our scheme would includepurple with yellow polkadots. We really don't knowwhat will happen. We'll leavethat to the discretion of thewinner. As long as Millie getsa good home where she'sappreciated and drivenaround occasionally, we'll behappy and I'm sure she willbe as well."

However, Millie’s plight

may not have the happy end-ing many of the Fair organiz-ers might have envisioned.

"Myself and my fellowpilots at 419 Squadron herein Cold Lake are hoping totake a shot at winning Milliein the raffle," said CaptainRiel Erickson, a Millarvillenative and one of only a hand-

ful of female fighter pilots inthe Canadian Armed Forces.

"I'll be at the Fair againthis summer, just as I wasthrough many summerswhile growing up, and beingable to take Millie back to theCold Lake Air WeaponsRange with me would be a bitof a thrill,” added Erickson. “Ican't promise anything goodmight happen to Millie onceshe got there but everyonecan be assured she'll havetravelled for the first time inher life, she'll have met lots ofnew and interesting peoplefrom foreign lands and herlast days will have been givenin service to the defence ofour country."

419 Tactical Fighter(Training) Squadron is part ofthe NATO Flying TrainingCanada (NFTC) program forCanada, Denmark, Italy, Sin-gapore and the Royal AirForce. This program preparesfuture fighter pilots for train-ing on CF-18 class aircraftand includes Air-to-Air andAir-to-Ground combat opera-tional procedures. Capt.Erickson is an instructor inthe program and an alumni ofBlack Diamond’s OilfieldsHigh School.

Reading between the lines,it sounds like the Air Forcewants to blow Millie to smith-ereens . . . . and they’re willingto go to the expense of someraffle tickets for the privilege.

Tickets for the ‘Millie TheMassey’ Raffle will be initiallyavailable at the MillarvilleRacetrack information boothon Millarville Market days (ev-ery Saturday), the upcomingJuly 1st Millarville Races andthe soon-to-be rescheduledMillarville Rodeo (snowed outearlier).

The MRAS float featuringMillie the Massey has alreadyappeared in the Diamond Val-ley Days parade in Black Dia-mond as well as the annualParade Day in Okotoks. Shehas other scheduled dates incoming local communityevents, including a recentinvitation to appear at Movie

Night Under The Stars, June26th hosted at the racetrackfacility by the Millarville Com-munity School.

The Priddis & MillarvilleFair, which started 103 yearsago, brings together genera-tions of ranching and farmfamilies from across south-ern Alberta to proudly partic-ipate in displays and compe-titions involving livestock,garden produce, baking andother aspects of rural life.

The recent increased com-munity engagement hasinfused the upcoming August21st Fair with new energy,allowing it to grow by addingmore entertaining and edu-cational agricultural gamesand contests while integrat-ing music and artists into the

event.For children, the Fair can

be a particularly fun time,entering competitions as var-ied as junior photography,junior baking or juniorwoodworking and crafts ortaking part in the many activ-ities available, such as a pet-ting zoo or various displaysand competitions tailored fortheir ages.

Entry deadline for compe-titions and exhibitions isAugust 1st and a good placeto look for general fairupdates or contact informa-tion is:

The Fair is also looking forvolunteers in all categories tohelp out before, during andafter Fair day. Anyone wish-ing to volunteer in their areaof interest can do so throughe-mail at:

There is also a new Priddis &Millarville Fair Youth Com-mittee looking for volunteers12 to 18 years of age whowant to help with ideas andevents on Fair Day and con-tact information is at the Fairwebsite.

Perception is every-thing.

How a company is per-ceived by both the enduser and the shareholderwill determine it's successto a far greater extent thanalmost anything else.

Lately, BP could cer-tainly be deemed qualifiedto speak to that issue.

In our own backyard,Westjet came out of thegate 14 years ago as a 2horse operation that wasprepared to take on the bigguys.

David vs Goliath.At the time, few would

have predicted their suc-cessful growth to be assolid as it has, primarilybased on the dismal trackrecords of almost everyother airline on the planet.

Yet they gained whereothers miserably contin-ued to snatch defeat fromthe jaws of victory.

What's interesting isthat when you breakthings down, Westjetreally isn't all that differentfrom other airlines.

They pay the sameprices for their aircraft asdoes everyone else.

Ditto for fuel and insur-ance.

Same rent at airportsthroughout their network.

Weather will groundtheir flights at the sametime and in the same wayMother Nature tells therest of them to ………SIT.

As far as pricing is con-cerned, the airline indus-try's pretty transparentthese days, and a $200flight on one's pretty mucha $200 flight on the other.

So really – what is it thatmakes Westjet different?

It's how they approachthe concept of dealing withcustomers and customerissues.

Take for example theirchecked luggage policy.

When every other airlinedecided to further thenickel and diming of theirself loading freight, Cliveand the gang went out oftheir way to actually pro-mote the concept of twofree bags, free of charge.

Not that the average pas-senger had any intentionof taking more than 1 bagon a 2 hour flight mindyou, but the message was"take ‘em if you got ‘em,"which gave the perceptionthat not only were theyopen for business, theywere wide open for busi-ness.

Unavoidable delays,

something every carrier isconfronted with from timeto time, are handled a taddifferently at Westjet thanthey are at some of thecharter operators andmega airlines.

Instead of hours of noncommunication at thedeparture point whichmore than a few of us haveexperienced with some,Westjet gets a couple oftheir people decked out inKevlar and sends them outinto the crowds with a littlesoft shoe routine andvouchers for future flights.

Don't know how manyfolks actually cash inthose vouchers, but again,the perception in the eyesof the client is that theseguys stand behind theirproduct and make thingsright when on occasion ithits the fan.

Perception.Reality of course is that

this little outfit makesmoney hand over fist timeand time again when oth-ers continue to hemor-rhage.

You'd think that in thisday and age of corporatetransparency one of "theothers" would take a lookat what customers likebefore they plunge withboth feet in their mouthsinto what seems to be anever ending chasm of selfdestruction.

Take for example Ameri-can Airlines, an airlinewho once had as their slo-gan, "DOING WHAT WEDO BEST" .

T h e s e c o m e d i a n sannounced last week thatin addition to the litany ofexisting fees they heapupon the great unwashed,they will begin to charge asmuch as $38 roundtrip forpassengers to be amongthe first to actually boardthe aircraft.

I say among the firstbecause ahead of the poorschlep who gets hood-winked into parting with38 greenbacks will be 1stclass, business class, pri-ority members, frequentflyer members of affiliateairlines, families travellingwith small children, thoseneeding a little extra timeand assistance, militarypersonnel, politicians andthose who simply don'tcare about the rules oforder in the first place.

By the time members ofthe 38 club finally get toboard, 85% of the passen-ger load will have alreadysecured 100% of the over-

head bin space with every-thing from surfboards toused transmissions.

And for this an airlinewants to charge a pre-mium?

Here's just a randomthought folks - should nota premium be charged inexchange for some type ofbenefit to the individualoutlaying the fee?

Key word - BENEFIT.What's next, a $40

charge to sit next to a pas-senger with infectiousmononucleosis?

Or $50 to get clipped inthe shoulder by a 60 lb.serving cart?

How about $80 to getberated by a flight atten-dant 3 days shy of collect-ing her social security?

Message to AmericanAirlines: Ever thoughtabout offering advanceseat selection and actuallyenforcing the size of carry-on bags brought on board?

Might just speed up theboarding process whileoffering your clients aslightly more enjoyableexperience.

Considering multi bil-lion dollar losses incurredby American Airlines ineach of 2008 and 2009, I'mnot convinced that contin-uing to rub salt into exist-ing passenger wounds isthe best way to turn thetide.

Passengers might comeaway with the belief that“DOING WHAT WE DOBEST” pertains to some-thing other than takingcare of the hands that feedthem.

And while American'sprobably are a bit more sin-cere with the definition oftheir mantra than skepticswould see it, it's the per-ception that counts.

And if they think the bigbad wolf's in charge, thethree little pigs just ain'tgonna jump on board.

It's just how they per-ceive things.

Adios until next time.

Have you ever noticedthat sad things bringabout contemplation?This is my first Father'sDay without my Dad. AndI find myself in thisstrange limbo of sorrowmixed with elat ion.Throughout his life, heendured so much suffer-ing: financial, physical,emotional and spiritual.Despite his many friendsand family who cared forhim, and tried so veryhard to help him, his feel-ing of helplessness turnedin on him and the stress ofit took it's toll on his life.He couldn't celebrate hisachievements. He alwaysexpected more from him-self. His struggle taughtme this…

We must give ourachievements recogni-tion, small or largebecause those happymoments in life can over-come our feelings of help-lessness. Only then do wefeel successful. Considerthis: If we don't give our-selves a little pat on theback for all of the goodwork we do on a regularbasis, who will? Sure it's

fun to have an openingreception inviting all theworld to see a strong bodyof work, but those arehuge accomplishments,built on other small ones,that take months or yearsto wait for. Why wait? Lifeis short right? Lookaround you. What accom-plishments have you man-aged? Did you prune allthe bushes on your prop-erty? Have you success-fully saved another $30towards a vacation? Wasthe dirty work on yourvehicle worth the mess? Isyour storage room more ofa room instead of a hoard-ers' path? Celebrate thatnewly discovered art tech-nique! Call a friend andbreak out that bubbly andenjoy your mini-victories!Now I'm not saying thatyou should be jumpingout of helicopters justbecause you got the lid offthe pickle jar…by your-self- just start giving your-self 'credit where credit isdue'…but, note-to-self,keep those credit cardsfar, far away from yourrevelry!

As yet another school year draws to a close we have included our annual tribute to the graduating students of our area.At the same time we would like to recognize all the other students who have accomplished so much this year and will be returning next year a little older and a little wiser.Rather than spread our school community news throughout the Gazette as we normally do, we have decided to group everything we have received for this issue together

and flank the graduates' centre pages with news from all the schools, many of which our graduates will have attended during the course of their educational journey.We would also like to thank the many teachers who have contributed to this journey both during class time and during all the extra hours you have donated to our future

leaders. Going the 'extra mile' and dedication 'beyond the call of duty' come to mind. You work almost silently behind the scenes molding and shaping your students. With-out your care and influence, your students would not have developed the caring, knowledge, athleticism, skills and talent they possess. You have nurtured them and suc-ceeded.

We have also received many accolades from the schools for the part we have attempted to play in their journey. We give as much space as we can every issue to the newsfrom the schools and we thank the schools for the contributions they have made to our community newspaper and look forward to many more contributions next year.

As the newspaper that 'Brings the Good of Your Community to You' we would not be able to fulfill our mandate and philosophy without the school news.Thank you all, once again and have a great summer! ~ The Gazette Staff

Oilfields High SchoolPrincipal's Message……

June 2010

Ric MoralesOHS Principal 2010

“Some people walkinto our lives, leave foot-prints on our hearts andwe are never the same”

Dear Parents, Studentsand Staff,

The final curtain is rap-idly closing on the 2009-2010 school year. For some,it may seem like an eternityand for others it is withmixed feelings as the yearrolls forward to a climaticend. On behalf of all the staffof Oilfields High School, Iwould like to offer our sin-cerest thanks to each of youfor all you have done for theschool community this yearand what you continue to doeach and every year. Thankyou parents and friends ofthe Drillers for your ever-present encouragement andsupport in all the initiativeswe have undertaken for stu-dents. Thank you studentsfor sharing your immensetalents in the athletic are-nas, your academics in thehalls and classrooms, yourartistic and creative talentson the varied stages and inthe shop classes, your senseof adventure and your will-ingness to accept challengesin the many outdoor expedi-tions you participated inthis year. I consider it a priv-ilege to have been part ofsuch a vibrant school com-munity!

At this time of the year,Oi l f ie lds High Schoolextends a fond farewell tothe members of the 2010graduating class and tothose staff members whoare moving on. Best wishesand many thanks to the fol-lowing staff members whohave left their footprints inthe hearts of many at OHS:Dr. Hayley Twist for her con-tributions to the sciences,her assistance in the Middleschool musical and herenduring work with the lead-e r s h i p c l a s s ; M r s .Cederstrand for her years ofcontribution in athletics, ofcontributing and always will-ing to give of her time and

effort for students throughthe many field trips, tutori-als and extra help; her con-tributions to the sciences atOHS will be missed; to Ms.Maya Schenk , YouthDevelopment Counselor forher many hours counselingand working with studentsto encourage and to supporttheir learning; to Mr. ChetMusgrove, a student advo-cate, both within the schooland the community. Mr.Musgrove's presence will bemissed at Oilfields for thenumerous work he has donefor students in their schooland personal lives.

It is with very mixed emo-tions that I, prepare thisfinal newsletter of the schoolyear. “Mixed” because thereis a sense of excitement anddelight on the part of the stu-dents anticipating the long-awaited summer – yet know-ing this is my final time Ishall put pen to paper to doan Oilslick newsletter.

I would like to thank theincredibly dedicated staff ofOilfields High School, you –the most caring and sup-portive parents, and, ofcourse, the considerate andenthusiastic students forthe most fabulous yearsthat I have had as an educa-tor ever! It seems like onlyyesterday that I walkedthrough the doors ofOilfields for the first time. Ifeel blessed to have beenpart of Oilfields High Schooland the High CountryCommunity and I shallalways be grateful for theopportunities you gave meto help be part of manyexciting changes.

Congratulations to all thenominees and award win-ners at the Black and GoldAward ceremony. Thankyou to Mr. Hughes and hisassistants for your organi-zation and commitment tocelebrating academic excel-lence. Thanks to Mrs.McKellar for bringing backTrack and Field to OHS;thanks to Mr. Craig Jonesand Mr. Heidbrecht for thecommitment to athleticexcellence and the organiza-tion and planning for the

“Driller Ball”. Thanks to Ms.Douglas for your enduringwork and for your tirelessefforts to build opportuni-ties for students to engage inexperiences in the outdoors.Thanks to all the staff whocollectively gave of their timeto participate in the expedi-tions and to join students inthese experiences.

I would like to extend spe-cial thanks to my “co-pilots”who inspired me daily andfrom whom I learned andshared the true meaning ofunconditional caring andlove for kids and people . . .Mrs. Glaicar and the officestaff: Mrs. Lansdell, Ms.Gauzer and Mrs. Hein. Ihave had the great fortuneof working with very quali-fied, dedicated and compas-sionate staff members. Ittruly has been an honour forme to work with suchdevoted colleagues whoreally understand the mean-ing of doing whatever ittakes to ensure students aresuccessful and taken care ofat Oilfields High School!

Congratulations to thenew leadership team atOilfields High School. Iknow that their sharedbelief “to do whatever ittakes for kids” will resoundthrough the Oilfields' hall-ways for many years tocome.

“Once AD r i l l e r A l w a y s A...…....DRILLER!!!!”

The Final Curtain

It was with sadness thatthe Gazette Staff learnedthat Mr. Morales, Mr.M u s g r o v e a n d M r s .Cederstrand will be leavingOilfields High School.

During our coverage ofschool events since 2004 wehave come to know andrespect these educators. Wewish them all the best intheir future and know thatthe schools to which theyare going will benefit greatlyfrom their dedication, fair-ness, advocacy and unself-

ish giving to the community,be it school or town.

We sincerely hope thatthey too will remember

and return often.To Mr. Morales: I believe

you have shown the stu-dents in your care that aHigh School is the hub of acommunity and that respectis a two-way street that isearned.

To Mr. Musgrove: Yourdedication to your students,both current and past, has

never waivered even whentested by them! You havebeen much more than ateacher and coach to them ~you are, and always will be,their friend and mentor.

To Mrs. Cederstrand: Youhave been a dedicated advo-cate of the athletics' pro-gram and given freely ofyour time, setting the exam-ple to your students that it isbetter to give than to receive.

“Once a Driller…Always aDriller!”

You will be missed.Pam Jones,Gazette Editor.

Principal Notes

Ted Thorne

As we go through the pro-cess of self-reflection aboutour school year quickly com-ing to a close, we often won-der how effective we are ineducating our children. With-out exception, we all put ourbest effort into what we do forour students to make thelearning meaningful. The IBProgramme is a powerfuldriver of our learning whichembraces many of the frag-mented pieces (such as char-acter building and inquirylearning) that so manyschools “slot in” during theiryear before moving on tosomething else. Unless it isinfused in all that one does inschool, it lacks the potentialto make a difference in notonly the student but theteacher.

Thomas Sergiovanni isProfessor of Education atTrinity University, San Anto-nio, Texas who states thatchildren and adults alikeshare needs to be safe andsecure; to belong and to beloved; to experience self-esteem through achieve-ment, mastery, recognitionand respect; to be autono-mous; and to experience self-actualization by pursuingone's inner abilities and find-ing intrinsic meaning andsatisfaction in what onedoes. If this belief was shareduniversally between homeand school and we were to beeffective in what we do inthose domains to meet theseneeds, how wonderful theresults would be for the chil-dren.

Eda LeShan, a psycholo-gist and family counselorwho brought psychoanalyticinsights and common senseto two dozen books meant toguide people through life'schallenges, underlines theneed for feeling good aboutwhat we do: anxiety checkslearning. An overall feeling ofinferiority, a temporaryhumiliation, a fit of depres-sion, defiance or anger, asense of being rejected andmany other emotional dis-turbances affect the learningprocess. The reverse is true;a feeling of well-being and ofbeing respected by othersstimulates an alert mind,willingness to participateand an attitude conducive tolearning.

In a time still filled witheconomic uncertainty andthe news reports spring-boarding off the Gulf oildisaster with thoughts thatthe near future will see theend of oil, it is easy to becomeanxious in a society built onconsumerism. For the mostpart we live a somewhat priv-ileged life, free from oppres-sion and hunger and theneed to meet our basicneeds. With the summermonths pending and the chil-dren away from school, it is agreat opportunity to go forthose hikes and take a picniclunch. Our grade eight stu-dents are off as I write this, toclimb Mt. Yamnuska. As partof our Outdoor PursuitProgramme, these experi-ences into the back countryinstill an appreciation for ourwilderness areas and hope-fully a life-long interest in avery rewarding pursuit thathas the potential to respondto Sergiovanni's statement ofabove with positive results.

On closing our year, weare very appreciative of thesupport for our school andour programmes that you asfamilies have demonstrated.I have been made aware thatsome of our grade six andseven students are contem-plating the possibility ofattending another school fortheir grade seven and eightyears. This is disappointingas our student numbersthen determine our staffingand from that the potentialto facilitate learning experi-ences beyond the requiredcurriculum. Our plans forthe future in presenting expe-riences beyond the basic aca-demics for our Upper Schoolstudents continue to unfoldas we address the develop-ment of the well rounded andeducated student.

On behalf of the staff, Iwish you all a summer filledwith adventure and opportu-nities to come together withfamily and friends in thegreat theatre of our out-doors.

As the 2009-2010 schoolyear draws to a close, staff,students and parents arebusy with many excitingactivities. Field trips, classcelebrations around learn-ing and the anticipation ofthe arrival of summer fills

the halls. Dur-i n g t h e s ebusy dayss t u d e n t shave takenthe time tor e f l e c t o nthe i r pas tyear at MCS.Following is asampling oft h e i rresponses.

As I leave MCS I take withme these memories: of every-body I'm leaving behind andall the people I won't seeagain for a very long time andthe ones I've made reallygood friendships with ~ ScottGr. 8

After being at this schoolsince grade 2 there are tonsof memories that I will for-ever remember but the mostmemorable ones would haveto be our grade 6 Edmontontrip, all of our camping tripsand everyday adventures forexample; when people gettheir heads stuck in chairs,very odd camping pants,climbing tepees and all thesports trips and games thatwe were involved in ~ WinnieGr. 8

There are lots of memoriesthat I want to take with me, Idon't want to lose my friends,the experience in the school.The community was greatand supportive toall the classes Iwas in. I enjoyedall the activities inthe school, forexample campingtrips, climbing upmountains, FrankSlide in grade fiveand World Skills. Ihave seen so muchand experiencedlearning in differ-ent ways. I alsoexperienced whatcareers are outthere and what Icould do when I getolder. It is a great

school and MCS will alwaysbe home for me ~ Kayla K.Gr. 8

My favourite memory wasall of the good times our classhas had together. Whether itwas the camping trips, hikesor even sitting in the bluechairs at the office with myfellow classmates, it was allmemorable ~ Matthew Gr.8

Shortcuts Aren't Alwaysthe Way to Go!

Shortcuts Aren't Alwaysthe Way to Go!

When you install a new soft-

ware program on your com-

puter there is a way you can

have a shortcut on your desk-

top. In travelling we often look

for that shortcut that will make

our drive shorter and quicker.

As a student, I was

always looking for

ways to learn that

mater ia l in the

quickest and best

way for that exam I

had to write (often

the next day!). Trying

shortcuts in the

bush and forest often

leads to getting lost

and being disorien-

tated.

Have you noticed

that when you cook a

recipe that if you take shortcuts

it often doesn't taste as good as

the original version? In con-

struction, when shortcuts are

taken, one often has a house

that has been built substan-

dard and of poor quality.

The way to God is not through

shortcuts either. Whether you

are a seeker of truth, a seeker of

God, a seeker of eternal life or a

seeker of peace, (in the end, all

these pathways lead directly to

God) it cannot happen through

shortcuts. God's word implies

that the way to God is a deliber-

ate choice and process.

(Isaiah

26:9a NLT)

(John 6:27 NLT)

(Matthew 7:13, 14 The Message

So even though that shortcut

looks green and inviting, don't

be tempted to go on it. Staying

on the straight path with a true

purpose in your heart of finding

God will result in you finding

your goal – a deep, meaningful,

rich and personal relationship

with a personal God who loves

you more than life itself.

Readers are invited to write

Gloria at:

[email protected].

“All night long I search for

you; in the morning I ear-

nestly seek for God.”

“Spend your energy seeking

the eternal life that the Son of

Man can give you…”

"Don't look for shortcuts to

God. The market is flooded

with surefire, easygoing for-

mulas for a successful life

that can be practiced in your

spare time. Don't fall for that

stuff, even though crowds of

people do. The way to life—to

God !—is v igorous and

requires total attention.”

We are now in the season of eclipses. These happentwice a year; the last time around was during theholiday season of late 2009. The first of the pair wason June 26th and the second will be July 11th. Theyare in Cancer and Capricorn, the signs that containthe most energy and information about familypatterns. In the month of July, we have theopportunity to release the old patterns that have keptus anchored to the past. Some are mental; most areemotional. They include our old ideas aboutmarriage, obligation and seeming tradition; what weget to embrace instead is balance, equanimity and asense of our own vital presence in the world. For awhile we may seem to be in two worlds at once: butreality will have its effects.

No excuses: this is your time to take territory in life,in your profession and within your own personality.There are almost always thoughts and ideas thatinterfere with this, and a lunar eclipse in your 10thsolar house of career and ambition is clearing awayparental emotional patterns, especially the fears ofyour mother and grandmother. The catch is thatcircumstances that depend on you remaining in theemotional role of child are going to get shaken up.Plan to have a series of events wherein you take backall the power you gave away as a kid, and the psychicpatterns that keep you stuck in this mode. Youcannot do this in theory. You can only do it throughexperience: that is, a direct confrontation with yourinsecurities. Ladies and gentlemen, start yourengines.

Few people admit the extent to which they are drivenby their emotions. We like to think of ourselves ascalm, rational and reasonable people, thoughanyone familiar with the most basic rules of logicknows that they are hardly ever followed. If yourastrology means anything, you tend to fit thisdescription. What you desire changes like the tides.You often feel you 'need' things that are notimportant to you. And you are driven by yoursentiments more than befits someone with such anastute mind as you have. You're in the process ofletting go of much of this stuff, and when you do, youwill notice that you're no longer so easy to influenceor control. You'll be willing to stand your ground in

your relationships (and they will be more fun whenyou do).

Many factors this month point to the theme ofcleaning house. Whatever this may mean spiritually,I suggest you start digging out closets and fillingtrash bags. Once you start, you'll feel so good youwon't want to stop. The same process may beunderway in your relationships: you no longer needto live your parents' notion of wholesomepartnership. Usually, it was nothing of the kind, andthe ideas they suffered were passed down fromantiquity. One of the great challenges you face in thislifetime is modernizing your concept of what a'secure' relationship is; which means facing up to themany ways that idea failed. Are you ready to take anoriginal approach to the matter of love? Events thismonth will guide you steadily in that direction, and itbegins two ideas: truth and trust.

Events this month will offer a portal into a dimensionof your emotional life that is always a few shades offthe visible spectrum. You don't need to dive intothese feelings; rather, start by feeling your wayaround the edges, and getting a sense of thedimensions of the territory. You can enhance yourunderstanding by giving words to what you notice,even when the sentiments involved are fearful ordifficult to articulate. Your mission now is learning tobe undaunted by your fears. Exceedingly few of themare valid. They simply run you in circles, and oddly,you often don't always know what they are. The veilbetween you and this inner realm is growing thin,and you need the information that's in there. Keepingit out in the open will make your life and yourrelationships easier.

Saturn leaves your sign this month, ending anunforgettable two-year era of your life. Yet the sametheme repeatedly turns up in your charts, and I domean going back at least seven years: you areconfronted by people who are innovative, electric andalive, and they make you nervous. You worry aboutyour stability; you judge yourself as frail in contrastto the seeming might of others. Here is one way toconsider the issue: In your relationships, you tend toput yourself in the position to respond or react,rather than a co-creative role. You think others callthe shots, which is only true if you abandon a dialog.Make a list of what you refuse to talk about and you'llsee where your power goes - and where you can claimit back.

Saturn returns to your sign this month, arriving for atwo-year journey. You may read predictions thattreat this like the embodiment of all that can gowrong or set a limit. Let's go back to traditionalastrology. Saturn is the exalted ruler of Libra: it has apotent and core-level relationship to your sign. Theexperience of Saturn is about aligning yourselfwithin the physical world, defining your purpose in aclear way and coming into your full strength andfreedom as an adult. If there's a catch, it's about yourrelationship to what I will call 'appearances'. It wouldhelp if you made a promise to yourself that you willdrop your persona, facade or attempt to play a role,and instead present yourself as you are. This may bechallenging at first, but you will eventually love howmuch it saves you in needless energy and uselesscomplication.

Despite the cynicism unfairly pinned to descriptionsof your sign, you're deeply sentimental and have astrong connection to the person you were when youwere a child. Now, that particular angle of yourhoroscope is coming into focus. I suggest you dothree things on this occasion: look at every goal youhave today and ask yourself how long you've had itfor, and whether it's still valid. Check whether you'restill adjusting your life to meet the expectations ofyour mother. Then, one last thing: as a child you hadsome idealistic visions for yourself; you had gloriousplans and bold confidence about them. Where didthey go? If you get everyone else's fears andexpectations out of the way, you may decide that theyare every bit as meaningful today as they where whenyou were little.

You are in rare form, and you don't have to stop. Theideas you've been having recently will providecreative fuel for the next year. You may feel like thereare times when you're running your creative enginestoo hot. You will cool down soon enough, which willhelp you orient your ambitious creative goals on thelonger territory you will need to cross to make themreal. Your charts say you're having a series ofbreakthroughs. Then you take what you learn andaccomplish, slow down the process and then, using adifferent kind of creativity, develop things to the nextstage and bring them back into the world.Remember, this is all about focusing an experimentbased on discoveries you're making now. You haveno reason to doubt and every reason to affirm thatyou are in a rare and brilliant zone.

Abandon all the ideas of safety and security that yourparents and grandparents drummed into your head.You're not betraying them; you are honoring them bygoing beyond their petty fears. Be aware of the extentto which those fears have influenced you -- and howmuch better you'll feel when you let them go. Whilethose fears seemed to center on money, home, familyand security, they have translated into your life asreluctance to express yourself boldly. If you want tofeel safe, be resolutely yourself. If you want to feel likeyou belong on the planet, express your boldestthoughts, feelings and passions. The world will moveover and make room for you. Where you fearjudgment, you will encounter respect.

For every truth you discover in yourself, there seemsto be an equal and opposite potential. Yet it can growtiresome never being able to make up your mindabout which is the valid path. You're aware of this, atleast: the opposites you perceive contain oneanother; you know they are part of the same thing.They are integral to one another. Your ruling planetSaturn is about to enter your 9th solar house, whereyou experiment with your ideas about life andformulate the plans that get you to the next place.Saturn's presence is about drawing from both sidesof any seeming paradoxes, concepts or theories thatyou use as the basic fuel for living. Now you get toexperience the strength, confidence and clarity thatcome when you integrate your seeming polarities.

Focus on feeling good. If you reach the blue spot,keep moving. If you catch yourself feeling like you'don't deserve' anything, focus on affirming yourexistence and remind yourself that you contributefar more than you take from the world. Indeed, youare a resource that is only available when you arefeeling positive and strong, and this resource feedsyou as well. Remember, there is nothing you need todo first in order to be enlightened. Well, nothingexcept to want peace of mind and abundance. In yourparticular chart setup, this involves rememberingwho you are all the time, and simply being thatperson. There is no game here; you are who you are,and as you experience this, the flow of life energy willincrease and be available for whatever you choose.And those are the key words: you choose.

By Todd CurranThe continued integra-

tion and advancements ofinformation technologyand digital communica-tions into the private, pub-lic and voluntary sectorsensures the continuanceof this trend for sometime. IT careers includesystems and data ana-lysts, hardware and soft-ware engineers, systemsand database administra-tors. Systems analysts,designers, computer pro-grammers, web develop-ers, consultants andinformation managersreflect the range of careerpossibilities in theseareas.

Another guaranteedgrowth area is thehealthcare sector.

Healthcare careersinclude physician assis-tants, physical therapists,

dental hygienists and byextension, the relativelynew area of forensic sci-ences. Workers in thisindustry could considerentering the healthcaresector as a nurse, nursingaide or orderly. Theincreasing number ofhealthcare jobs is directlyattributable to people liv-ing longer (expanding thenumber of people in olderage groups) and medicaltechnology, services anddrug advancements. Dueto the expansion, there isan increase in physiother-apy, administrative andsupport roles as well.

Bio scientistssuch as tissue engineersand gene programmerswill be in high demand,but other skilled workerswill be needed for admin-istration infrastructure,as it will grow in propor-tion to the companies.New scientific areas suchas nano-technology andenergy technology will

also need similar employ-ees.

With an increaseddemand for educatedemployees, someone hasto communicate all thisknowledge. Teachers,tutors and instructors willbe needed to train theworkforce of the future.

Other existing serviceswill grow further as thepopulation ages, includ-ing professions in thelegal sector (lawyer,paralegal), police, firefighting, entrepreneur,financial advice, businessconsulting and valuation,physical training and tour-ism industry.

Although “going green”has been a long, slow pro-cess, making and install-ing solar power systemsalready accounts for some770,000 jobs globally.Installing solar-thermalwater heaters and rooftopphotovoltaic cells is a rela-tively high-paying job,installers earning $15 to$35 an hour for those withconstruction skills. With

government tax creditsand money to be saved onenergy costs, the SolarEnergy Industries Associ-ation predicts an increaseof these jobs for years tocome. Another field ofopportunity in alternativeforms of energy is in wind,the fas t es t - g row ingsource with over 300,000jobs worldwide. Metal tur-bines create an opportu-nity for autoworkers andother manufacturers torepurpose their skills.

I wouldn't have believedit if I hadn't researched it,but writing of all disci-plines - script writing,technical writing, contentwriting - are professionspredicted to explode in thefuture.

While it's an intimidat-ing task to build a careerwith a long shelf life, pre-paring yourself for thefuture will serve you wellin developing new skills,improving your employ-ment prospects and dis-covering your career oftomorrow.

I expect after the com-munity activity days therewere a lot of sore feetaround. My husband and Ilove to walk and becauseof health concerns wehave to make sure our feetare well taken care of. Any-one who has diabetesknows that special caremust be taken to keeptheir feet in good healthand see their doctor regu-larly for that purpose. Forthe rest of us, it's just com-mon sense and everyoneshould be reminded thereis simple hygiene to followto keep your feet healthy.Here are some hints towalk away with. Don'tsmoke, smoking causes

blockages in the veins inyour legs and feet, talk toyour doctor about the con-sequences. The next mostimportant is to make sureyour shoes fit correctlyand are comfortable, theyshould not rub and youshould be able to wiggleyour toes. Leather is thebest choice as it will allowyour feet to breath. Wearsocks that wick away per-spiration and don't rub.Don't go bare foot, espe-cially outdoors, indoorswear comfortable, closedslippers. Although theyare popular, flip flops arenot healthy for your feet,they don't provide anyarch support and are the

cause of many accidentaltrips. In your daily showeror bath use a loofah or arough cloth to soften cal-luses, don't try to cut awayrough skin, you may go toodeep and open yourself toinfection. Don't try to treatcorns, calluses or ingrowntoenails yourself, see a doc-tor. Make sure your feetare well dried and then usea good cream or lotion allover except between yourtoes where the moisturehas no way of evaporating.Don't expose your feet towater that is too hot or toocold. When you cut yourtoenails, the best time isafter your bath or shower,cut them straight across,so that the corners areabove the skin line, thensmooth the nail with anemery board.

It's also important tocheck your children's feetand make sure their shoesfit properly, small feetgrow so fast, you may haveto change their size a cou-ple of times a season.Watch for blisters or toesthat look cramped afterremoving their shoes. Idon't particularly like san-

dals on children, withoutsocks they are inclined torub or get small stones orsand in them that can irri-tate a small foot. Don'tallow a child to play out-side barefoot.

If you have overworkedyour feet, and they aresore, try soaking them in abasin of lukewarm waterwith a handful of Epsomsalts, dry them thor-oughly, smooth on somelotion with either a pep-permint or lavender baseand elevate them for a bit(my grandmother's recipefor achy feet). I like to havea pedicure every now andagain, although I enjoy thetreat, I've been warned bymy doctor that: #1, Don'tshave your legs before avisit as small nicks or cutscan open you up to infec-tion. #2, Make sure thebasin has been sterilized.#3, Make sure all instru-ments have been sterilizedor take your own. Finally,#4, Take your own nail pol-ish.

Hope these hints makeyour summer walks com-fortable and easy on yourfeet.

EXECUTIVE RETREAT!

I love to read. I also loveyour recommendationsand with reading as muchas I do I am bound to getsome books that don'tappeal to me. The two I amreviewing this week reallyjust made me cranky andsad and I begrudged mytime spent on them. You,however, may have anentirely different opinion.

This book was recom-mended to me, sat on my

bookshelf for a year and ahalf, then recommendedagain. It is not the type ofbook I usually read and Iknew the content was goingto be bizarre and upsetting.

The rigidity of thechurch is shocking, theeffects of brain washingd e t e r i o r a t e i n t o a nunwanted marriage for theauthor at the age of 14.Rape and abuse and sev-eral miscarriages are theresul t . The ul t imatebetrayal, though, was thedefection of her mother,who believes this is right forher daughter, if the churchsays so.

The writing is amaturishand the silly and inconse-

quential details are morethan any child could everremember. I didn't finishthe book. I had heard thedetails of Warren Jeffs andhis trial after his move toBountiful, BC. It was hardto miss as it was in everynewcast, so I already knewthat outcome.

I cherish the time I spendreading, and although Ipretty much knew the con-tent of this book, I found itextremely upsetting. I reada variety of genres and sub-jects, including controver-sial subjects, a new twiston an historical event, evens o m e b l a s p h e m o u shumour, but I could notstomach this book. I actu-ally threw it in the garbage -the first time I have EVERdone that with a book.

This was another bookhighly recommended tome. It is about the life of an11 year old girl, stolen fromher village in West Africa,forced to walk in a coffle formonths, brought to NorthAmerica on a slave shipand eventually sold as aslave to a South Carolina

indigo grower.Years later, she has her

freedom, knows how toread and write, and worksfor the British during theRevolutionary War with theUnited States. She recordsnames, including her own,in the Book of Negroes, arecord of freed Loyalistslaves who have requestedpermission to leave the USand settle in Nova Scotia.

Life is not idyllic forthem here, either. There isstill oppression and even-tually Aminata returns toSierra Leone - passingships still carrying thou-sands of slaves bound forAmerica.

This back to Africa odys-sey was too much for me. Ifelt like slapping her andasking what she thoughtshe would find in Africa.The book is well written.The little known historicalfacts about the Black Loy-alists and their immigra-tion to Canada was inter-esting, but I could not besympathetic or connectwith the protagonist on anylevel. Enough said. I knowmany of you really liked it,so I recommend reading itand making your own deci-sion.

Between 1776 and 1785around 3500 Black Loyal-ists were transported toNova Scotia from theUnited States - part of alarger migration of about34,000 Loyalist refugees.The population of Nova Sco-tia increased by almost60% and this led to theestablishment of NewBrunswick as its own col-ony in 1784.

Gardening is a passion.Once you have the bug,there is no stopping. Noteverybody is equally com-mitted, but members of aGarden Club are for sureinterested and learn fromthe feedback they getfrom each other.

In a Garden Club weexchange plants, shareknow-how, go on a gardentour to private gardens,enjoy a garden related out-ing and we do our part asvolunteers. To raisemoney we have each yeara plant sale with donatedplants from our own gar-dens. Some of the moneyraised, goes to a worthycause, of course with agreen purpose. This yearwe cleaned up the gar-dens around the hospital

in Black Diamond in May.The town's planters inTurner Val ley wereplanted by the group.

Several of our memberscome with a wealth ofexperience and haveestablished gardens andthen there are those, whoare new in the provinceand have to learn to workwithin the possibilities ofthe conditions aroundhere. We love to meetthose, who for the firsttime get excited aboutgrowing things.

Of course the old tim-ers have seen it all,drought, excessive rain,snow in July, hail as bigas golf balls, extensivewinter kill, frost too late ortoo early in the season,name it. We draw on each

other's enthusiasm andshare stories about oursuccesses and failures.There is a lot of advice outthere, when you ask.

So maybe you are inter-ested in joining a GardenClub. It is the anticipationof the next season thatkeeps us forever moti-vated. Both Clubs startagain in September.

The Valley NeighboursGarden Club meets everythird Tuesday of themonth at 7:00pm. Forinformation call Susan at403-933-7675.
