T h i s i s
the third year that the
Foothills Lions Club
has hosted a trading
event for kids but this
year there are a few
changes. There will
be pins once again
but there will be other
collectibles, such as
trading cards. If you
are a collector this is
the event for you. Do
you have branded
items from compa-
nies such as McDon-
ald's or Coca Cola?
What about that box
of comics? All you
need to do is get a
table at this event
and start trading!
There is a new venue
this year, so you will
find your fellow trad-
ers at the Oilfields
High School in Black
Diamond on Septem-
ber 24th from 10am
to 4pm. To book a
table just email Tim
at:
foothillsliontim@gma
il.com.
The first 50 kids
through the door will
receive a free collec-
tor's starter kit and
the fun doesn't stop
there. All kids that
come in uniform,
such as Scouts,
Guides, Cadets, etc,
and anyone who
brings a donation for
the Food Bank, will
also receive a free gift.
If you aren't currently
a collector, this is the
place to get your
start. What interests
you? Pins from coun-
tries of the World,
Olympic pins or other
memorabilia from the
Games, game cards
(Pokemon, Magic,
Yugioh), Coca Cola
glasses, McDonald's
Happy Meal toys,
comic books……the
possibilities are end-
less. Check out the
silent auction for
some more collect-
ibles. A special fea-
ture to watch for this
year is the Limited
Edition Pin made just
for the Collector's
Fest! So, get there
early if you want a
chance to add this
special pin to your col-
l e c t i on o r , who
knows, this could be
the start of a new
hobby for you!

The towns of Black Dia-
mond and Turner Valley
are asking volunteers to
come out and help with
the annual Sheep River
and Friendship Trail
cleanup on Saturday,
September 17th from
9:00am to 12 noon. This
event will also be held in
conjunction with a na-
tional eco-friendly initia-
tive, the Great Canadian
Shoreline Cleanup. “The
hard work that goes into
every cleanup results not
only in cleaner communi-
ties, but it also contrib-
utes to our larger goals of
conservation, steward-
ship and increased vol-
unteer involvement,”
says Monique LeBlanc,
Community Services
Manager for the Town of
Turner Valley.
Volunteers from both
communities are asked
to register at the Scott
Seaman Sports Rink in
Black Diamond starting
at 8:45am for their work
assignments.
A volunteer apprecia-
tion BBQ will be served
around noon by the Foot-
hills Lions Club after all
the work is done. Eco-
friendly door prizes and
displays will also be a
part of the morning's ac-
tivities. Sponsors of this
event include the Town of
Turner Valley, the Town
of Black Diamond, Coun-
try Food Mart – AG Foods,
Foothills Lions Club,
Turner Valley Family and
Community Support Ser-
vices and Diamond Valley
Disposal. For more infor-

Around The World
In How Many Years??By Pam Jones
I can’t personally
imagine cycling from
Black Diamond to
Longview, never mind
around the world. How-
ever, in January 2006
that is exactly what
Salva Rodriguez de-
cided to do when he left
his teaching post in
Spain and loaded up
his bicycle with a tent
and all the basics.
Now, five and half
years later, Salva took
a much needed rest in
Longview to dry out
from the recent rains
and enjoy Longview
M a y o r , I v o r
McCorquindale’s hos-
pitality.
He said, “The most
unique place I have
slept was in a border po-
lice watch tower be-
tween Ethiopia and
Kenya.” Afghanistan
was interesting but the
war didn’t touch him.
The victims of the war
were the people who be-
friended him.
A journal of his jour-
ney and many photo-
graphs can be viewed
at:

Spanish first though!

Black Diamond
Alberta's Oil and Gas Industry was launched in Turner Valley on
May 14th, 1914, when the Dingman Discovery Well blew in. For 30
years, the Turner Valley Oilfields was a major supplier of oil and gas
and the largest producer in the British Empire! So significant was
the role Turner Valley played in the history of the oil and gas
industry, that the Federal Government has declared the Turner
Valley Oilfields Gas Plant a National Historic Site.
Just 60 km (37 mi) southwest of Calgary on Highway 22 (The
Cowboy Trail), the town's pastoral backdrop of Rocky Mountain
foothills has attracted many artists to the area. Turner Valley has
been graced with the presence of many talented artists in the fields
of drawing, music, painting, photography, pottery, painting,
sculpture, and other fine arts. Selections of their work can be found
in local shops around town and local musicians can be heard at
community functions throughout the year.
Turner Valley has an 18-
hole, semi-private course
open April to October at the
Golf and Country Club, an
outdoor swimming pool
open late May until August,
an outdoor rink with public
skating and shinny in the
winter which doubles as a
skateboard park during
warmer months . The
Friendship Trail is a 3 km
paved pathway connecting
to the neighbouring town of
B lack Diamond , and
Kananaskis Country offers
camping, hiking, cross-
country skiing, horseback
riding, fishing and bird
watching just 25 km west of Turner Valley.
The Visitor Information Centre is located on the main drag
between the Flare 'N Derrick and Dr. Lander Memorial Pool.

Bloomin' Boxes is a friendly competition that was
initiated to help beautify the towns of Turner Valley
and Black Diamond while encouraging local shop-
ping. Business owners plant and care for a floral dis-
play to enhance the look of their store, which con-
tributes to the overall appearance of the commu-
nity.
The floral displays are judged by members from
the Valley Neighbours Gardening Club.
Again this year the judges have commented that
the containers have improved in their “wow” factor
and creativity and they would like to commend all
who took part.

Congratulations must go out to all those that par-
ticipated as the gardens and containers were out-
standing this year in spite of the many challenges
presented by Mother Nature.
As the 2011 Bloomin' Boxes wraps up, a huge
thanks goes out to the Town of Turner Valley for
sponsoring this event and to the many businesses
that planted and cared for their displays. As well,

What To Do With The Kids contacted parents from around the
world through Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook as well as our regular con-
sultants, and asked them to submit their list of 10 classic children's
books that they feel parents today should be reading to their kids. A
copy of this special report is available for viewing on
www.whattodowiththekids.com.
Many of these suggestions also included stories of how they
enjoyed the books as kids and how their own kids are enjoying them
today.
The most common response submitted was “anything by Dr.
Seuss.” Unfortunately, we couldn't count that but quite a few of
Theodor's titles were submitted.

1. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown
2. Stone Soup by Marcia Brown
3. The Giving Tree by Shel Siverstein
4. The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
5. Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
6. Curious George by Hans Augusto Rey
7. The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
8. Charlotte's Web by Elwyn Brooks White
9. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. & John Archabault
10. Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss
With over 300 different book suggestions, the top 15 choices were so close
that we decided to include those that finished in the 11th to 15th spots as
well. They are:
11. Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson
12. Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney
13. Love You Forever by Robert Munsch

Councillor's Corner: by Councillor Jim DeaconThe weather has been just great! The Town projects are
coming in on time and not running into any problems. I seemore and more children out in the fresh air, going swimming,fishing and just enjoying the outdoors. The campground hasbeen full all summer and people are strolling through townenjoying the pathways and shops. The rodeos in Longview andMillarville were well attended and the crowds enthusiastic! TheArt in the Park in Turner Valley was a busy as I have ever seen it
– each year this event becomes larger. I bring this information up because all of theseevents, as well as the great weather, bring more people into the area. The morepeople who visit in the community, the more they think about moving to this area toget away from the hustle and bustle of the larger centres. This is good news for all ofus who want our communities to grow and prosper.
School is back in session, which means that school zones are in full effect andschool busses will be picking up and dropping off the kids regularly. Please watch forthe kids on the streets – the safety of our children is something none of us can affordto take for granted!

Legacy Oil + Gas Inc. (“Legacy”) and the
Town of Okotoks are pleased to announce the
formation of The Legacy Community Founda-
tion (the “Foundation”), a non-profit organiza-
tion created to benefit the communities where
Legacy operates within the Sheep River and
Highwood River drainage areas. The mission of
the Foundation is to assist with funding pro-
jects aimed at promoting education, health,
recreation and the environment in the com-
munities in which Legacy does business.
The Foundation has formed an advisory
committee with representatives from the
Towns of Okotoks, Black Diamond and Turner
Valley, the Village of Longview and the MD of
Foothills. These members will assist the Foun-
dation in achieving its goals by identifying
needs and concerns within these communities
as well as identifying community initiatives for
funding that meet the Foundation's mission.
“Legacy is committed to the well-being of the
communities where we operate and being a
good neighbor to those communities through
understanding and supporting their needs.”
said Trent Yanko, President and CEO of Leg-
acy. Mayor Bill Robertson added “We appreci-
ate Legacy assisting us with our water license
needs and that the agreement also provides
additional benefits to the citizens of these com-
munities in the foothills.” Legacy agreed to
donate their water license in the Turner Valley
area to the Town of Okotoks in exchange for a
donation receipt in June 2010. Legacy and the
Town agreed that equivalent funds in the
amount of $1 million would be paid to the
Foundation, a non-profit organization created
and managed with Legacy's assistance.
Appointments to the advisory committee have
been made and the Foundation is now ready to
begin its analysis of community needs, which
is expected to take several months. Organiza-
tions with funding needs may contact their
municipality office to obtain an information
package.

Easy Meal Ideas Students Will
Love
A brown paper bag or a plastic
lunch box. No two items can elicit
such fear in the hearts of parents
across the country. They seem like
harmless items on the surface, but
it's coming up with what goes in-
side that can be truly scary.
Day after day, creating new
lunch ideas that children will actu-
ally eat can be challenging. Par-
ents are often short on time in the
evening or the morning before the
bus arrives and may be at a loss as
to what foods to keep stocked in
the pantry, which makes planning
lunches a taller order than it may
seem.
Rest assured that concocting
school lunches doesn't have to be
difficult. Follow these tips for
lunchtime success.
.
Bread can be boring. Skip the sand-
wiches and think of other foods
that can serve as the wrapping for
tasty foods. Tortillas, pitas, pizza
crusts and crackers are other
ideas for topping or holding items
together.
Who says kids only want
bologna and cheese? Ask your
child what he or she enjoys eating
and stock up on those ingredi-
ents. For example, if you enjoy a
wrap of grilled chicken with fresh
mozzarella and basil, your child
might as well.
Pack lunch
according to a theme. Maybe Mon-
day is all round-shaped foods.
Tuesday may be cowboy-themed,
with southern flair. On Wednes-
day all the foods may be red. Your
child will be eating the same foods
he or she always did but just in a
more interesting way. Chances are
if it's fun to eat, the kids will be on
board.
Make a
chart that lists foods in specific cat-
egories: fruit, vegetable, meat,
dairy and snack. Enable your
child to pick the combination he or
she desires each day. Involving
children in meal creation helps
make them more in tune with food
choices and more likely to eat what
they have chosen.
Instead of packing the
requisite lunch foods, consider
breakfast items instead. Maybe
your child will enjoy a banana
wrapped in a pancake or yogurt
topped with crunchy granola. A
mini bagel packaged with an indi-
vidual serving of cream cheese and
jelly could fit the bill, too. As long
as your child is eating a healthy,
balanced meal, it doesn't matter
what the foods may be.

Pace Setter Travel & Tours (1995) Inc
* * * WE HAVE MOVED * * *Effective Monday, August 29, 2011, we have relocated to
a more intimate setting in the old historic part of Okotoks.Our new quarters are located at
70 McRae Street(approximately 100 metres east of Cafe Divine and the Town Clock)
No question - given thechoice, a Business or FirstClass seat trumps an Econ-omy Class seat every time.The ability to get in and outof the thing without the useof coconut oil and a shoehorn speaks volumes as tothe benefits. And when thegods of reward points smileupon me with an upgradeopportunity, it's a happyday.
Let me digress for a min-ute with a bit of backgroundinformation.
My brother Mike is one ofthose semi gifted peoplewhen it comes to technolog-ical gadgets. In the early90's he developed a searchengine for mere mortalslooking for jokes and relatedgags.
Unfortunately, he calledit Giggle, and as the namewasn't taken seriously, itwent nowhere.
I on the other hand amconsidered a tad challengedwhen it comes to tech giz-mos. The only reason Iupgraded from VCR to DVDwas due to not being able tostop the damn thing blink-ing 12:00 after 6 years.
I now have 4 remotes andstill wind up getting out of
the chair to hit the buttonon the big screen and onlymanage to switch away fromthe Discovery Channelwhen my wife enters theroom and I suggest sheswitch to something shewants to see.
We recently had theopportunity to upgrade tothe "lie flat" comfort of Busi-ness Class on a 9 hour over-night flight. Having toler-ated more than my fairshare of overnight flightswhere the fully reclinedeconomy seat immediatelyin front of me served as apersonal chin rest for 8 ofthose hours because minewouldn't recline, I gra-ciously accepted.
Entering the covetedcabin and settling into 3A, Ihave to say I was over-whelmed by the amount oflegroom. About 80 inches,which if boredom were to setin would easily allow me toplay tennis against the seatahead.
Looking around at thevarious amenities I spotwhat looks suspiciously likea remote control.
Actually, it's a multi tasktype instrument which inaddition to allowing me to
order duty free and watch90 channels of video,enables me seemingly tophone someone else onboard the aircraft as long asI have their seat number.
Looking back into steer-age, I mentally file away row62C in case I want to ringhim later in the flight andask how HIS medium rarechateaubriand was.
With dinner service con-cluded, my charming bridein 3B gets her seat into thelie flat position and withinminutes is borderline coma-tose.
Seems like a good ideaand I fiddle with what Ithink should be the seatrecline mechanism.
Other than my readinglight flashing on and off -nothing happens.
Must be the other button.The light stays off but
within seconds a flightattendant is beside me ask-ing if she can be of assis-tance.
I indicate I'm just tryingto recline the seat at whichpoint she hands me..........THE REMOTE.
"Everything you need iscontrolled with this," shetells me and walks away.
How complicated can itbe?
Hitting the 1st downarrow changes the audiofrom Bach to The RepulsiveWarthog Fingers Live inSomalia and as I can't figureout how to get back to Bach,I yank the headphones andstuff them under a blanket.
The cabin lights have ofcourse by now been dimmedand at the risk of hitting thecall button again, I hold theremote toward the windowwhere the odd strobe flashfrom the wingtip gives me asense of how the remote'sset up.
There's a button withwhat looks to be a diagramof a seat with a series of up,down, sideways and circu-lar buttons beside it andeven I can grasp that this isthe one.
The instant I presseddown, I just knew I shouldhave read the manual.
In a series of slow motionhydraulically activatedshifts, 3A starts to trans-form itself into positions thehuman body was neverdesigned to accommodate. Icouldn't shake the image ofRobert Downey Jr. in thefilm Ironman2 as this con-traption began to morphinto something other than aseat. As the movementstopped, I found myself in aprone position with my
head some 10 inches lowerthan my feet and about sixdollars in loose change frommy pocket rolling down theaisle toward economy class.
Oops.Maybe a little less action
on the up arrow will correctthings.
The feet lower, the headraises, and as this contrap-tion also incorporates sometype of ergonomic lumbarfeature, the knees come upand by the time I'm done Iresemble an accident vic-tim.
I'm not brave enough toawaken my wife althoughthe thought of phoning backto 62C crosses my mind.
Back to the gadget.If I equalize the amount of
pressure on the up buttonwith that of the down but-ton, I calculate it should goflat.
My feet and head are nowlevel with each other -u n f o r t u n a t e l y m ymidsection is still up wheremy chest once was. The nextmaneuver brings both thehead and feet up slightly,lowers the groin, and whenit stops I look like the letterU.
It's time to seek assis-tance from my lovely bride.Problem is - I can't reachover far enough to tap heron the shoulder.
One more button.
Feet come way up, headgoes way down, and I'm nowlaying flat albeit at a 150degree head down incline.I'll live with it.
I know that about 40 min-utes before landing thecabin crew will come overand request that all seats bereturned to the upright posi-tion at which point my wifewill awaken and prevent heridiot husband from creatingany additional havoc. I willhowever look a little moreclosely at the seatingoptions on future flights. Ifit looks like there's 80inches of legroom, I think I'lluse the additional BusinessClass carry on allowanceand bring along my own foldup 72 inch long camp cot.
That way I can sit whensitting's called for and whenthe lights go out, I canstretch out with a good bookand leave the damn remoteas far away from temptationas possible.
Adios until next timeDave Heron

Longview Link By Chey Nickerson
Longview is lucky to have dedicated volunteers
like Jubilee and Saje Muraski. On the last long
weekend of summer when everyone was off
searching for that last camping experience, Saje
and Jubilee were holding a village yard sale. Many
residents donated items for the sale and stopped
by to pick up a few items. The amazing thing about
this is that Saje and Jubilee donated all proceeds
to the playground build that we are working to-
wards. As of Sunday evening on the long weekend
our hard working pair was able to donate $230.00
to the playground fund. Due to the 50/50 match
we are receiving from the “Let Them Be Kids”
award this donation automatically becomes
$460.00 towards our equipment! Bravo to both Ju-
bilee and Saje and everyone who donated goods or
funds to the sale. The children of Longview thank
you for caring.
We need to see more of this kind of community
fund raising over the coming weeks as we ap-
proach our build day scheduled for Saturday, Oc-
tober 15th. Please sign up now if you plan on vol-
unteering that day. Go to our website at
www.longview.ltbk.ca and click on the sign up
now button. It will take you directly to a simple
sign up page which will take only a minute to fill
out. By signing up you will get regular email up-
dates on how we are progressing.
We have a big fund raiser for the playground
scheduled to take place in conjunction with Al-
berta Arts Days. There will be free family events
and displays at the Longview School on Friday eve-
ning and Saturday afternoon, September 30th
and October 1st. The Longview ARC Society will be
hosting “A Night of Foolishness” at 6pm on Satur-
day, October 1st at the Longview Community Hall
which is located on Morrison Road beside the Twin
Cities Hotel. The event will be a celebration of local
talent including a cowboy poet, a revised rendition
of an old Joplin tune and much more! There will be
a meal and a silent auction and all profits will go to
the playground build! Tickets are $20.00 and will
be available starting September 13th at the Village
office and through local ARC members or call
Michele at 403-558-2158. Tickets are limited so
please get yours early so you are not disappointed.
Please remember this is a fund raiser to help
build our kids a new, safe, modern playground
and to purchase skate park equipment for the rink
as well as fitness equipment geared to every age
for Centennial Park. Let's show Alberta (and our
kids) what the residents of Longview can do when
we all work together for a common cause!
Longview's “Xtreme Makeover” Seeks Volunteers and Donations
Hi there everyone! Wel-
come to another season at
the library. Joan, our
librarian, has plans for
lots of programs and work-
shops over the coming win-
ter months. Keep your
eyes peeled for announce-
ments of these events on
the bulletin board at the
village office. Don't forget
our hours of operation are
10am to 5pm on Tuesdays
and Thursdays and from
12 to 7pm on Wednesdays.
Our phone number is 403-
558-3927.
The Seniors Crib play-
ers will meet every Thurs-
day afternoon at 2pm
beginning September 12th
in the library. Feeding Tiny
Tummies will be held Tues-
day, September 20th as a
Video-conference. This will
be of special interest to
young mothers and maybe
grandmas.
We had a very success-
ful used book sale at the
Arts and Music Festival in
August. We were in the
tent with the artists, which
was very special. Look for
us again next year at that
very spot.
Some books I enjoyed
over the summer months.
by Elizabeth
Berg. It is the story of a mid-
dle aged couple contem-
plating divorce. It is wry,
wise and peppered with
brilliant insights. Their
seven year old daughter is
portrayed with compas-
sion and warmth. It is a
moving story of a phenom-
enon that is gripping our
society and shows the far
reaching effects of divorce
on so many people in the
family. Berg is the winner
of the 1997 New England
Booksellers award.
Another is
b y H o l l y
Chamberlin. It is a moving
story about the reunion of
two childhood friends who
grew up on the coast of
Maine and are now in their
mid-forties. The reunion
prompts them to reflect
upon their choices and
compromises that they
have made down through
the years. They think
about what they have
become and what they
want to be. This book will
strike a chord with every
woman.
We have a brand new,
beautifully furnished room
at the library. It is to be
used for programs, video-
conferences, meetings and
social events. Please drop
by and have a look! Erika
Smith is to be credited
with most of the planning
and work getting this off
the ground. Thank you
Erika!Say When

Okay, so the chil-
dren are on the bus
and safely on their
way to school, here
are some more hints
to make the school
year easier for you
and the little ones.
Have a designated
in-box for school pa-
pers and communi-
cations, make sure
it's in a convenient
place and remind the
children to put their
daily papers in it.
Keep an extra box
of supplies such as
erasers, coloured pen-
cils, markers, lined
paper, geometry sets,
at home for home-
work. Handy if the
school supplies have
been forgotten in
class and also keeps
down the amount of
weight and items the
children have to
carry.
Save a couple of
35mm canisters to
put in change for
lunches, and extras,
easier to find in a
backpack.
Punch a couple of
holes in a plastic zip
bag and place it in a
three ring binder for
school supplies such
as glue sticks, pen-
cils, pens, post-it
notes, etc. It won't
hold a lot, but is
handy and easier to
carry specific sup-
plies to class.
Hang a check list at
the front door with re-
minders for lunch,
the homework for the
days classes, gym
clothes, signed per-
mission slips, etc. In
the same area hang
up the school calen-
dar schedule so they,
and you, can review
what will be needed
and done that day.
Get the children in
the habit of reading it
before they leave
home and maybe this
good habit will con-
tinue into higher
grades.
Under the check
list and calendar at
the front door put up
pegs to hang the back
packs on, make sure
they're well anchored
for the weight; keeps
them tidy, handy and
easy to grab on the
way out in the morn-
ing.
W h e n p a c k i n g
lunch for the children
tuck in some wet
wipes, enough so that
they can clean their
hands before and af-
ter eating.
If possible have a
separate hamper for
school uniforms, gym
clothes and anything
that needs priority
laundry attention.
Have the children
c h a n g e t o p l a y
clothes when they get
home.
Special art projects
that the children are
very proud of and
want to keep can be
stored in a cardboard
paper towel or wrap-
ping paper tube. All
other projects can be
displayed in a frame,
or on the fridge for a
week, then tucked
into an under-the-
(child's)-bed con-
tainer. At the end of
the school year re-
view the papers with
the children and de-
cide which artwork or
paperwork is to be
kept in a scrapbook
or photo album for
that year. Everything
else, even if you wish,
the special projects,
can be scanned on
the computer, giving
you the choice to re-
duce them to a spe-
cific size, then saved
on a compact disc. Ev-
ery now and again a
piece of work should
be given special at-
tention or praise, in
which case it can be
framed and hung in
their room until they
decide to change it.
I hope any or all of
these organizing and
time saving hints are
helpful and you can
use any or all to make
school days easier.

Phillip Lacoste's winning video
about miniature trains received
1,300 votes.
With votes from around the
world, Phillip LaCoste, 16, won
the My Alberta SouthWest Video
Contest top prize with his sub-
mission titled Ultimate Trains.
Accepting the prize on Phillip's
behalf will be his father, Mr. Guy
LaCoste, at a presentation in
Nanton on September 7th.
Lacoste's short video captures
the day in the life of a miniature
train. When asked why he chose
Ultimate Trains as the location for
his video, LaCoste says, “Without
a car, I couldn't get around to a lot
of places in the region and the Gar-
den Railway was a visually cool
place to shoot a video.”
With the help of family and
friends in the Nanton area and as
far away as Montreal, Japan,
Korea and Egypt, Lacoste
received 1,300 votes. “We had a
fun time contacting people we
knew,” says LaCoste. “I used my
Facebook account. I used my cell
phone. My parents emailed all
their work friends. Together, we
emailed friends across the coun-
try and my dad even invited the
provincial and national train
model associations to vote.”
As for what inspired him to
enter the contest, LaCoste
explains it was his passion for
video editing. The 16-year-old has
a knack for IT and computer work
and can now add videography to
the list. Regarding his son's
accomplishments, Phillip's dad,
Guy LaCoste says, “I'm proud of
what Phillip can do with video edit-
ing. He enjoys the challenge and
wants to make 'over the top' vid-
eos.”
Lacoste plans to use the $1,000
in prize money to buy graphic
design software and save the rest
for school. When asked which of
the prizes he plans to experience
first, he said the Waterton Shore-
line Cruise was at the top of his
list.

Nanton Resident Receives
Most Votes In My Alberta Southwest Video Contest
In 1569 during the
Yeiroku era (1568-1579)
in the Funagata Yama
(mounta in area ) o f
Miyagi, there was a Chi-
nese mountain priest
from the Abe family called
Unryu (Cloud Dragon),
who was an expert in the
shuriken, bojutsu, yari,
naginata and taijutsu
from the Amatsu Tatara
Rinpo Hiden Makimono.
The Amatasu Tatara
scroll was kept by the
Abe, Nakatomi, Otomo,
and Monobe families
(Takamatsu Sensei's fam-
ily and the Kuki family
also possessed a copy).
The Dai Nippon Bugei
Ryu-Ha gives Unryu's
name as Sounryu. He
was a wandering Taoist
monk, living in Rikuzen
Funagawa, not far from
Sanroku Mounta in .
Some historians have
said that Unryu came
from Hieizaenji Yama in
Kyoto. He studied Sessho
hiden no jutsu, a system
that uses the yari. The
Sessho hiden no jutsu is
also known as the Juppo
s e s s h o n o j u t s u .
Unryu taught this system
with the yari to a samurai
from Katakura Kojuro (in
Fukushima province)
n a m e d I t o K i - i
Morisatada (also called
Ito Sukesada). Ito was a
famous martial artist of
that time (1570's) and the
founder of the Itto Ryu
Kenko Ryu.
The transmission of
the Takagi Yoshin Ryu
scrolls from Takamatsu
Toshitsugu, to Hatsumi
Masaaki, took place on a
lucky day in the 5th
Month Showa 33 (May
1959).

The Takagi Yoshin Ryu
takes its techniques fur-
ther than those of Judo
and Aikido. When the
techniques are applied it
is made as difficult as pos-
sible for your assailant to
escape by rolling and
breakfalling. This style of
Jujutsu comes from
training within a build-
ing, unlike other styles
which originated out-
doors. Therefore the tech-
niques result with the
opponent being thrown,
locked or held close to the
body due to being inside
in a more confined area,
instead of throwing him a
distance away from you
as you could outdoors. In
the Takagi Yoshin Ryu
you are taught to look at
the eyes and use speed.
You are also trained to
use your opponent's own
weight and momentum
against him. One of the
techniques taught uses
something called Rensa
Sankaku (Three Sticks), a
movement used as a
defense against someone
with a sword.

The Weed That Strings
the Hangman's Bag -
Alan Bradley
Who Knew?
I have reviewed Dallas
before and any of you
who are quilters will espe-
cially like this book. I
enjoyed it, but it was cer-
ta in ly miss ing the
twisted plot, hidden agen-
das and unlikely conse-
quences of "The Chile
Queen".
This is the tale of two
women trying to survive
in the high country of the
Rocky Mountains in a
Colorado mining town.
Hennie is in her eighties,
but is drawn to the new
comer, seventeen year
old Nit Spindle, who is
grieving the loss of a still-
born baby.
It is an unlikely friend-
ship, but the two are kin-
dred spirits who can
share secrets, the plea-
sures of hiking and wild-
flowers and a love of
quilting. Nit is desper-
ately lonely, but once
Hennie invites her to join
The Tenmile Quilters,
she is totally accepted
into the little group.
Hennie's good heart
has led her to enable
many people to survive
and continue their little
lives in Middle Swan. She
accepts and includes the
store keeper's wife, who
once had made her living
at "the hook house;" she
buys more winter coats
from the Sears catalogue
than anyone, and passes
them on as "outgrown by
my daughter Mae." She is
generous in donating
gifts of food, home made
f r o m h e r l i m i t e d
resources. She is wise
and giving and forgiving -
not always easy after 86
years of hard living.
This is "comfort fiction
- like mac n' cheese or
chicken pot pie...to be
savoured and enjoyed." -
Sherri Caldwell
The Chile Queen
Alice's Tulips's
Buster Midnight's
Cafe
……and others
I reviewed "The Sweet-
ness at the Bottom of the
Pie" - a first novel for
Bradley and I said I
couldn't wait for the next
book. Here it is and I am
not disappointed. This is
a wonderful mystery with
a plot that keeps you on
your toes - in the style of
Agatha Christie or Eliza-
beth George. However,
Flavia de Luce - the
bright centre of these nov-
els, is only eleven.
"Bradley has once
again created an engag-
ing, whimsical, twisting
tale that rewards read-
ers...Flavia is...the sort of
heroine that is too rare in
fiction today; utterly real-
istic, yet compelling,
larger than life." Edmon-
ton Journal
Flavia hears a woman
crying and finds her lying
face down in the ceme-
tery. She is the assistant
and lover of master pup-
peteer Rupert Porson,
whose van has broken
down. The vicar per-
suades them to mount a
pair of puppet shows for
the villagers, and to
make enough money to
repair the van. Flavia is
drafted as the 'gopher'. so
is at the heart of all the
action.
We have in this novel -
a German prisoner of war
who has decided to stay
and make his home in
England, a crazy woman
who lives in the woods, a
marijuana gro-op, a farm
woman who worked in
British Intelligence dur-
ing WWII, the death of a
five year old who hanged
himself, an over zealous
vicar and various other
colourful characters,
including the de Luce
family and their staff.
How could this not be the
stuff of a great summer
mystery?
This Canadian author
plans to focus on Flavia
de Luce novels after tak-
ing an early retirement.
I'm delighted, and ready
for the next read.
F r a t e r n i z a t i o n
between German POWs
and the local population
was strictly forbidden in
England during the war.
When that ban was lifted
- just in time for Christ-
mas 1946, many people
chose to put the war
behind them and invited
the POWs to join them for
a family Christmas.
24,000 POWs decided to
stay and make Britain
their home.

Last spring, I noticed that my species tulip
(Tulipa tarda) was getting crowded in its cluster.
The flowers were smaller than before. So, this fall,
I'm going to dig up the cluster. They are just in
front of the chives so I have an idea where to dig.
I'm going to replant them in three to five new clus-
ters, depending on how many bulbs I find.
I'll have to prepare the new planting locations by
digging deep, adding some compost or peat moss
and mixing the soil well. I'll screw the bulbs into
their new locations at a depth of about three times
the length of the bulb. They'll have to be watered in
well after transplanting and then mulched. If
squirrels or cats were a problem, I'd lay down
some chicken wire on the mulch and stake it in
place. The wire would have to be moved off as the
tulipas grow in the spring as they grow tighter to
the ground than most bulbs and the wire would
inhibit growth.
But, where am I going to plant these new clus-
ters? Tulipa tarda doesn't look as awful while the
foliage is dying back as daffodils and regular tulips
do. So, they can be closer to the front of a bed.
They bloom later than regular tulips so look good
with grape hyacinth. I know where some of the
grape hyacinth are so I'll transplant some around
the tulipa bulbs. Maybe some chives need to be
transplanted, too. But, I'll move the chives in the
spring.
What I'll try to do is set up a pattern with the
bulb clusters so the eye is drawn along a line in the
flower bed. Creating patterns in our beds is fun.
We can make patterns with colour: yellow, blue,
purple, blue, yellow, blue, purple, blue, yellow,
etc. We can make patterns with size: small,
medium, large, medium, small, medium, large,
etc. And texture: fine, medium, coarse, medium,
fine, medium, coarse, etc.
The rhythm created by pattern can be
expressed on the drawing board with symbols:
The symbols represent plants. Creating pat-
terns in our flower beds include the dimensions of
space and time and can span seasons. Way too
much fun for the thoughtful gardener!
In this case, I have a cluster of tulipa tarda (yel-
low colour, coarse texture, medium height) with
bits of grape hyacinth poking up beside the clus-
ters (blue colour, fine texture, short height), inter-
spersed with a background of chives (purple col-
our, medium texture, tall height), relatively. And.
I'll have three to five of these combinations in a
wavy line near the front of my corner flower bed.

I suggest you ask yourself just what you've been through the past five orsix weeks. It was definitely unusual, and by that, I mean not your typicalemotional crisis. It was more like a series of initiations, or an extendedordeal designed to help you figure out who you are. You learned a lot --and now the question is how not to forget. If outright frustration hastamped down to a sense of mild irritation, allow that irritation to keepreminding you to stay awake and alert. Notice those relationshipswherein there is a bit of push and pull, and the sense that things are notquite right but they work anyway. That tension can also remind you topay attention, and mind the details of your personal associations withothers. If you treat others as if they are here to help you, they are morelikely to do so. Open up to receiving what they offer and they're likely togive youmore ofwhat you need.
You may be feeling like you're out of your element, but I doubt that'strue. Where you are, however, is in a situation that's insisting that youupdate your files in realtime. By that I mean set your mind in manualmode and size up your environment and your mental state every houror so, or every time you remember. Rather than settling back into thesensation that things are how they are, keep your senses sharp andobserve what they are telling you. Keep the conversation going evenwith the people who annoy you. They are likely to provide usefulinformation that you would have missed ordinarily. Part of why oneperson in particular may be irritating, by the way, is that he or she is ableto discern how much of your mind you're actually using. It's as ifsomeone is lurking around while you're sleeping, waiting for you towake up. Waking up, at the moment, means living with the sense thatyou're participating in an experiment. You don't know the outcome, andthat is thewhole point.
You now have the awareness and strength to break free from at leastone dysfunctional belief of your parents. This would seem to be alifelong process of healing and growth. It is, yet there are moments ofbreakthrough, when you make a discovery that works on severallevels. First, see what it's like to not be angry when you discover thatyou've been deceived. Right under the deception is a contact point withyour power. It's as if you're clearing the fog on some event or conditionof childhood that obscured your ability to see contrasts, and to makecoherent decisions based on them. Now that ability is suddenly comingback to you. Remember that the root of feeling and seeing the truth isemotional, as is your ability to act on it. You aremaking contact withwhoyou were before the paralysis of denial set in, which is another way ofsaying that the kid who refuses to believe lies is alive and well in yourheart.
You don't need other people as much as you think. Of course it can bechallenging to test that belief, but I suggest you give it a try.You'll benefitfrom proving to yourself that the dependencies you think you have arenot so sticky, though to get there you have to confront the situation insome direct way. Do something on your own that you thought youneeded help with. Solve a problem that you think is over your head.Challenge your sense of loneliness by diving into your creative talent.The quality of experience you have with others will improve significantlywhen it's focused on writing, art or a service project rather than merely'social'. Look for a point of contact with yourself, develop that and thenboldly engage in a real exchange with someone you consider smarteror more advanced than you. From that series of contacts you will makean important discovery about yourself.
Lack of self-esteem is one of the most serious issues of our day. It maybe the most damaging problem that humans face, responsible for mostof the misery and abuse in the world today. We then take this conditionand bring it into our relationships, basically putting our self-worth intothe hands of someone else. This is the root of what is commonly calledcodependency. I don't think anyone is exempt, but Mercury and Chironare about to align in a way that can clarify this issue for you. Imaginethat there are many ways that two people can align; pretend we havehundreds of ways we can connect with others. Among them, there arejust a very few alignments where this issue of how we handle, treat andmirror one another's self-esteem can be seen for what it is. And what isthat 'what it is'? That's for you to observe over the next few days. Isuggest not looking for specifics, but rather treating everything thathappens as an expression of this issue -- and seeing where that leadsyou.
You've faced some serious challenges this week. You may beconsidering them emotional in nature, but so far as I can see, thedeeper issues are spiritual. Since that's a controversial term, I'll explainwhat I mean. Primarily, you're being called deeper than the sensoryworld, and the world of feelings. Those things are the starting point, butyou're being invited deeper. You're being called beyond your individualpast into what you can think of as the ancestral past. You're goingdeeper than human connection, into a realm where you meetsomething akin to a 'cosmic other'. You may discover this entity withinyou through a process of inner conflict. That conflict may feel likeencountering some of the darkest aspects of who you are, but once youmake friends with them, you discover the light within the shadow. To getthere, it's essential that you suspend judgment about yourself, i.e., notdeciding that you're so-and-so kind of person based on a certainexperience you've had or feelings you discover within yourself.Observe, listen and keep your sense of humor.
Relationships are a delicate, sensitive dance. You can take nothing forgranted -- and while that may seem like torture to those who desire onlystability and consistency, it is the more likely path to healthy interaction.We have all discovered at some point that relationships can bedangerous. We can invest enormous amounts of self-esteem intothem, alter the course of our lives and make commitments that maytake decades to work out. Often we have to do this working from a blindspot as we assess who people are -- only to find out that additionalinformation would have been useful much earlier on. If you'repondering subject matter such as this, I suggest you consider whichfears you were carrying around before you got into your presentsituation. At the moment you're susceptible to the self-fulfillingprophecy. Keep an open dialog with those you care about, and do yourbest to avoidmaking claims on the future.
One of the temptations you're facing now is the idea of purity. You maybe obsessed with it, though in a way that's lurking in the background.This may involve themes like wanting to have an absolutely clearconscience, correct intentions, take impeccable care of your health, orabsolute focus on your most important purpose in life. You know, thatkind of impossible-to-attain stuff that could gradually drive you nuts ifyou take it too seriously. I suggest you invest your energy soothing yourfrayed emotions rather than trying to improve yourself. You need rest,you need water, and most of all you need to experiment with fulfillingsome of the desires that have been continuously frustrated in recentweeks. I suggest you start modestly, with a sincere desire, particularlyof a kind that you fear someone else might be inclined to judge. This is agood time to go out and make some new friends. Look for reasons tosay yes.
Humans are complex beings. We seem to spend half our lives workingout our contradictions, and the rest of the time working out those of theworld around us. The good news is that you seem to be makingprogress. Despite the many intricacies and the maze-like quality ofyour life, you are actually finding common ground with people -- withone key individual in particular, and also with certain groups that have afamily-like quality. If we were to make a list of the most persistentmysteries that have faced humanity for its entire history, they mightinclude questions like, 'Where did we come from and how did we gethere?' But on top of the list would be, 'What is the secret to humancooperation?' You seem to be figuring this one out, and I suggest youput the information to work -- especially toward advancing a long-heldcareer goal.
I suggest you connect the idea of professional advancement withfertility. Whatever your condition of employment, you're in a phase ofseeding the future. You can think of this as impregnating your ownaspirations, which -- when they begin to manifest -- often have thesensation of 'having a life of their own'. This is precisely what you'regoing for. Be mindful of who you're speaking with at all times. Listen forthe ways you can work together, and pay attention for those visionarymoments when ideas erupt spontaneously. Please keep a notebook totrack both who you're talking with and what you're talking about. Givethings a chance to develop, and also do your best to consciously evolvethem. Notice when certain themes repeat themselves. Keep in contactwith people who share similar ideas. Look for patterns of affinity, suchas when you hear of organizations that have values similar to your own.Thiswill work a lot better than sending out resumes.
You seem to be trying to fit yourself through a narrow opening of whatyou believe is possible. As you are discovering, you won't fit throughthat passageway; you need a wider concept, and a bigger idea; thatmeans you will need to enlarge your concept of who you are. Onetypical problem you encounter when you do this is that you can lose anysense of definition, shape or form -- or you fear that you will. Thatsuggests you need to work with structure and with a concept, but thatconcept needs to be flexible enough to adapt to different situations. Butthe heart of the matter is not about the concepts -- it's your beliefs aboutwhat you're capable of. You seem to be using these beliefs as the basisof setting your goals. I suggest you work the other way, by definingsomeobjectives, then determining howyou're going to get there.
Sex is like seawater, in that it contains nearly every element ofconsciousness. Many have noted the similarities between blood andseawater, both of which are like the ocean that refuses no river. This ismore than a metaphor. Notice how your sexual ideas, emotions andexperiences contain all of your feelings about yourself. Notice theoverlay and exchange between yourself and the people close to you,including in fantasy experiences, dreams and the odd things thatpeople say. Among erotic experiences there are times for blendingenergies more deeply, and times for sorting out who is who. At themoment, the cosmos is revealing a specific difference between youand someone close to you -- which may translate to a differencebetween you and everyone else in the world. Yet this is the kind ofdistinction that can have a way of bringing people closer. Trueindividuality provides the basis for respect and the authentic sharing ofcommongroundmuchmore often than it does the basis for separation.

In light of the numerous scams thatconstantly plague our world of technology, Ithought I’d share a few thoughts that may beglaringly obvious to some but for many(possibly most) people are things that theywould have never questioned, regardless oftheir education and technology experience.
Recently our area seems to be the target forsome amazingly “helpful” and “intuitive”people who some how manage to call us rightat the precise moment we are experiencing yetanother computer problem. But please beware- there is no possible way for some randomperson whom you have never heard of before tohave any idea what is going on with yourcomputer. They are not privy to anyinformation that could tell them that yourcomputer has been infected by a virus.Honestly, if they could tap into your computerlike that, without your permission orknowledge, then they would be hackers andwould already be long gone with your personaldata. So please, be very suspicious and verycautious if you ever receive a phone call tellingyou that your computer has been seriouslyinfected, or is at high risk or anything evensimilar. My recommendation, simply say “I’msorry, you must have the wrong number, Idon’t own a computer” and then hang up. It’s
not worth wasting your time to figure out thevalidity. If you’re not sure if your computerdoes have a valid problem, contact areputable, local computer tech, preferably onethat you are able to get a recommendation forfrom someone you trust. In fairness to many ofour advertisers I won’t name any here, but I’mhappy to offer referrals if you’d like to give me acall 403-933-4283.
Another common occurrence are emailsthat fall under all kinds of different veils(banks, email providers, etc.) but all ask forthe same thing: name, contact info, user nameand password - possibly in different ways,including providing links through to officiallooking websites. These emails are constantlyevolving and becoming more sophisticated,but I assure you there will NEVER be alegitimate email that will ever ask you forconfidential information such as a user nameand password - regardless of the dyercircumstances they try to depict. Please foryour own privacy and peace of mind - deleteANYTHING suspicious and NEVER give outpersonal or confidential information tounknown sources that you don’t explicitlytrust - and even then, do NOT give thisinformation within an email. Use a phone, faxor secure website only.
It can happen to the best of us!

D o y o u
sometimes
feel like a salmon
swimming upstream
in the river of ever
changing technology?
As soon as we have fig-
ured out a new piece
of equipment be it a
cell phone, I-pod or
c o m p u t e r i t a l l
changes. Never fear!
You are not alone.
The Sheep River Li-
brary has several
courses designed to
help you navigate
your way around this
technological whirl-
pool. On Monday Sep-
tember 26th come to
our E-reader open
house with Alison
from Marigold. From
1-3pm, you can play
around with a few dif-
ferent E-readers and
learn about how they
work and which ones
are best for down-
loading library books.
To follow this up,
the r e w i l l b e a
TRACpac and Over-
drive Orientation on
Sept 29th at 7pm.
Learn how to use your
computer to reserve ti-
tles, renew books and
access E-resources.
C l a s s e s o n t h e
Internet, on line lan-
guage learning and
other computer ba-
sics are being held in
October. Details are
in our flyer, on our
website and in the
Continuing Educa-
tion brochure.
If you want a break
from speeding along
the internet highway
and you prefer more
traditional modes of
travel come hear
Marlis Haage at our
Terrific Tuesday Talk
on September 27th at
2pm. She will be shar-
ing her stories from
The Route less Trav-
elled about Central
Asia, Uzbekistan,
Turkmen-istan and
Iran.
If learning about dif-
ferent cultures in-
trigues you come to
the Dogtooth Moun-
tain Fi lm Group
movie nights on the
3rd Monday of every
month. This is a great
opportunity to see
films from around the
world that are not
available in main-
stream theatres. Sep-
tember 19's offering is
a s c r e e n i n g o f
Okuribito (Depar-
tures) from Japan.
This film will be
shown with our new
projector and sound
system which we
were able to purchase
with a generous dona-
tion from the Okotoks
Rotary Club.
The library is al-
ways adding to its col-
lection and over the
summer many new ti-
tles have found their
way to our shelves. In
anticipation of the ar-
rival of our new tele-
scope in October, we
have great ly ex-
panded our astron-
omy section to in-
clude books on ex-
ploring the solar sys-
tem with binoculars,
guides on astronomy
and constellations
and even a rather
fr ightening t i t le :
You will have to come
and take it out if you
want to know the nine
different ways our
planet could be de-
stroyed. (It's not just
science fiction, you
know).
If we haven't all
been blasted away by
an asteroid impact or
burned up in a solar
flare by October 1st,
make plans to come
down to the library for
Flower Power. In our
gallery room we will
have a multi-media
display of flower art
featuring paintings,
quilts and photo-
graphs. Join us from
10:00am to 2:00pm
for a kids' class on
making flower head-
bands, a demonstra-
tion on making a flo-
ral quilt and flower
cake decorating.
The first PD day for
the year is September
23rd. Don't forget to
sign your child up for
a fun-filled and infor-
mative day at the Li-
b r a r y . T h e
Pharmasave Friday
Movie begins at 10:30
followed by a talk at
1:30 on Bees and

Farmer from Mount
Royal University. We
look forward to seeing
you at the library. In
the VERY near future

B l a c k D i a m o n d ,
Turner Valley or the
surrounding area a
single person can still
purchase a member-
ship for $10 (or $20
for a family) for a year.
This is less than the
cost of buying 2 pa-
perback books!
Death From the Skies!
Sheep River LibraryGetting Educated In Technology at
Dr. Charles Boulet
and Diamond Valley
Vision Care in Black Dia-
mond are proud and
excited to launch a new
service specif ically
designed to reduce risks
associated with head
trauma in amateur
sports. The service,
AlbertaConcussion.co
m, provides tools, infor-
mation and training for
coaches, parents and
medical professionals
to allow them to provide
quick and accurate con-
cussion screening mea-
sures on the sidelines.
Dr. Boulet, an expert in
abnormal eye move-
ments, leads the train-
ing sessions and pro-
vides most of the con-
tent for the web site.
AlbertaConcussion.c
om, and its affiliated
s i t e , C o n c u s s i o -
nDetection.com are the
first stops to learning
more. Interested parties
can arrange for training
sessions and learn how
to obtain the testing
materials for use with
their teams or at their
facility.
What is a concus-
sion? A concussion is a
brain injury. Concus-
sions are caused by a
bump or blow to the
head. Even a “ding",
“getting your bell rung”
or what seems to be a
mild bump or blow to
the head can be serious.
Concussions can also
result from a fall or from
players colliding with
each other or with
obstacles. The potential
for concussions is
greatest in athletic envi-
ronments where colli-
sions are common. Con-
cussions can occur,
however, in any orga-
nized or unorganized
sport or recreational
activity. As many as
400,000 sports and rec-
reation related concus-
sions occur in Canada
each year, 10 times as
many occur in the
United States.
Recognizing a possi-
ble concussion: You can
see a concussion hap-
pen and, unfortunately,
some athletes may not
report their symptoms.
To help recognize a con-
cussion, you should
watch for the following
two things among your
athletes:
A forceful blow to
the head or body that
results in rapid move-
ment of the head.
Any change in the
athlete 's behavior,
thinking or physical
functioning.
A player may appear
healthy and may report
good health, but may
not be ready to return to
play. If, however, there
is even mild damage
and the player returns
to play, even more seri-
ous damage can be
done.
Of course, any player
sustaining a significant
blow to the head or
showing any signs of
concussion should be
referred immediately for
medical attention. The
testing involved takes
very little training, is
fast and provides an
objective measure to
determine whether a
player should be pulled
from play, thereby mini-
mizing risks associated
with repeat injury.
The same techniques
used in concussion test-
ing can be applied for
early detection of visual
problems often associ-
ated with dyslexia and
other reading concerns.

BLOODRAYNE
BETRAYAL
ConsideringWayForward's legacyand the glut (the goodkind) of retro-style 2Dplatformers that havebeen released of late,I had to ask aboutthe team's influencesgoing into thisproject. Stryder wascertainly one thatwas apparent to me."I've heard a lot ofStryder," Velasco said
about the comparisonsthat he's heard made to Betrayal."I've heard a lot of Castlevania,obviously. When you have a gothicvampire game, I think that's aninevitable comparison." It was alsoimmediately apparent thatCapcom's Mega Man X series had aninfluence on Rayne's abilities, asshe could wall jump and dash muchlike the Blue Bomber.There's a very specific reason thatall of these influences are so readilydetected. According to Velasco,"When you're making a side-scrolling game, there's the rightway to do it and there's the wrongway to do it. And if you do it theright way, well, that's the same waythat a lot of other really greatgames did it."As for the in-gameaction itself, it's definitely a hack
and slash title. Rayne's armblade scythe deals makequick work of most of thebaddies, and she's got apistol with limited ammofor ranged attacks. Youcould also infect yourenemies and send themaway to "greet" theircomrades with a friendlyexplosion. This is, ofcourse, if you prefer not todrain them of their blood torefill your health meter.Speaking of blood, I can'tremember seeing this muchin a side-scroller for awhile now.(Strangelyenoughthis gamewill berated"Teen"accordingtoVelasco.)Every killfilled thescreen withit. Becauseof theparticlesystemthat'srunningin thegame'sengine, it was allanimated realisticallyenough. When I sayrealistically, this isassuming gallons of bloodspew out of the orificewhere your enemy's headsat prior to his untimelydecapitation. Maybe"believable" is a better
word.

Buying a home may be the greatest single investment you will ever make.But is it a good investment?
Why not get it inspected by a fully qualified & Insured Home Inspector, plus as a certified
Thermographer, we have the technology to see beyond the drywall, with our Thermal Imaging
equipment, we can see missing insulation, mould, damp, leaks, heat loss that cannot be seen
with the naked eye. Plus this could save you $$$'s on your future energy bills.
