COVER STORY 

Rotary is a part of Lethbridge 

By Jeff Wiebe 

For the Lethbridge Journal 

The Rotary Club’s name and symbol may 

be ubiquitous, but many people probably 

aren’t aware just how much the organization 

contributes to communities around the 

world. 

Rotary is celebrating its 100th anniversary 

this year, and has been in Canada almost that 

entire time, with the first international club 

opened in Winnipeg in 1912. Lethbridge has 

had a Rotary chapter since 1918 and now 

boasts four clubs comprising more than 200 

members – Lethbridge, Lethbridge Sunrise, 

Lethbridge East, and the newest, Urban Spirits. 

But what exactly does the Rotary Club do? 

Karen Gunn, communications manager 

for the Lethbridge Rotary, says people join 

for many reasons, but all share a common 

goal of volunteering to improve their community 

and others like it. 

“People join for different reasons. They 

join because they want to volunteer and give 

to their local community, or maybe they’re 

sold on Rotary International, which touches 

every part of the world, and it’s great to know 

you’re contributing to that,” says Gunn, adding 

that the local club was heavily involved in 

raising donations following the recent earthquake 

in Haiti. 

Rotary International also recently teamed 

up with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 

which gave Rotary a $100 million dollar 

grant that the organization will match in 

an effort to eradicate Polio. The local chapter 

is also involved in international work, and 

is currently working on a water project in 

Costa Rica. 

Each Rotary club has the authority to pursue 

the projects its members decide upon, 

whether it be on the other side of the world, 

or closer to home. 

“We look at the needs, more than anything,” 

says Geri Hecker, president of the Lethbridge 

Rotary. 

“It has to be really vetted and make sure 

it’s something we really want to do,” she adds. 

Often, projects are brought to the group’s 

attention by members who simply see a need 

and try to figure out a way to address it. The 

Costa Rican water project began as an initiative 

of University of Lethbridge Rotaract 

club. 

“We usually have a committee that’s 

formed, and they go and research a project 

and test the viability of it. Then they bring 

it back to our board to discuss and see how 

we feel about it, and we bring it to the club,” 

says Gunn. 

Both the U of L and Lethbridge College 

have Rotaract clubs, which aren’t chartered, 

but are affiliated with larger, chartered Rotary 

groups. 

The Lethbridge Rotary clubs have also 

been involved in many projects with local 

impact, including the Galt Gardens fountain 

and the annual Dragonboat races. 

“The clubs lots of times do their own projects, 

but they also get together to create bigger 

projects,” says Barrie Orich, director of 

membership for Lethbridge Rotary. 

The local clubs sponsor post-secondary 

scholarships and organize youth programs 

to help kids learn more about themselves 

and become better leaders. Other youth 

programs include exchanges whereby a local 

high school student is sent abroad by the 

club and an international high school students 

is hosted here. 

“They get exposure to Canada, and we 

get to learn about their country as well,” says 

Hecker. 

Exchange students must travel to a country 

where they need to learn the local lan-

guage, and each week, students are required 

to present a summary of that week’s activities 

to the club, giving them language and public 

speaking experience. 

“Usually, the first time they do it they’re 

very quiet and meek. By the end of it, they’re 

cracking jokes and all kinds of things. I love 

seeing the transition that they’re comfortable 

and having an incredible experience,” explains 

Gunn. 

Given the multitude of projects the club is 

involved in, it’s not difficult to see the appeal 

in becoming a Rotarian, and the local chapters 

are always trying to grow their membership. 

New members need to be sponsored by 

existing ones, but they don’t need to personally 

know their sponsor beforehand. Orich 

says he has been approached by strangers inquiring 

about sponsorship into the organization 

and was happy to help. 

“We invite them to a meeting so they can 

get a feel for what it’s all about, and if they like 

it, we sponsor them.” 

Members attend weekly meetings – each 

local chapter schedules its meeting at a different 

time in order to best accommodate local 

needs – where they can hear speakers present 

on a variety of topics, from Rotary’s international 

work to the state of the economy. 

“We’re fortunate that we have both the university 

and the college, and both of them have 

terrific international contacts,” says Orich. 

“They also have some brilliant people 

working there – it’s amazing the caliber of 

people, so we also get them as guest speakers 

sometimes.” 

Members are also expected to volunteer at 

local fundraisers, like the upcoming Lobsterfest 

on June 5. As Rotary is heavily involved 

in the business community, Orich says there 

is a focus on attracting members from a variety 

of backgrounds. 

“One of the basic premises of Rotary is 

that it’s focused on the business community, 

and we try to make sure we have at least one 

member that represents a business type, so 

that we have a broad range of the community,” 

he explains. 

“We like to have members that represent 

every part of the community.”

Horns Blue Runs in the Family 

LETHBRIDGE, AB – Coming off their 

first playoff appearance in 8 seasons, the 

Pronghorn women’s basketball team and 

Head Coach Donna Branch, are excited to 

add their first commitment for next season. 

Her name and family are not strangers to 

Pronghorn fans as Cassidy Taal is set to join 

the Horns next season, following in her sister 

Lauren’s footsteps. Cassidy and Lauren are 

second generation Pronghorns, as her mother 

and family have a long history with Pronghorn 

Athletics. Lynette Taal (Lilja) suited up 

for the Pronghorns from 1978 – 1983, and 

was named a CWUAA All-Star twice and 

Pronghorn Female Athlete of the Year in 

1983. She sits tied for 14th on the Pronghorn 

all-time scoring list with 602 points. Lynette 

also served as an assistant coach with the 

Horns during 1990-99 and has recently returned 

to assist Coach Branch. 

The Lilja family was inducted into the 

Pronghorn Hall of Fame in 2002. Jack Lilja 

Sr, Cassidy’s grandfather, coached the Horns 

Women’s Basketball team for four seasons 

in the 1970’s. Lynette’s sisters both preceded 

her with the Women’s basketball team, Lorell 

playing 1973-77 and Leslie from 1974 

through 1979 and Brother Jack Jr played both 

basketball and soccer for the Pronghorns. 

Coming off a severe knee injury, Cassidy 

captained her LCI team this year, where 

the Clippers finished third in the 4A South 

Zones, defeating Medicine Hat in the third 

place game and entered the Provincial tournament 

ranked 10th. The 5’10” forward averaged 

12.1 points during the Clippers 12-4 

season in the Southern Alberta High School 

Basketball League. 

“Cassidy Taal was a player who was being 

watched in her Grade 10 year,” said Coach 

Branch. “She was doing what was necessary 

at that point in her life to be a CIS player. 

Then she tore her ACL. Through the rehab 

process, I watched a young lady show such 

determination to get back to a sport she so 

dearly missed.” 

The injury forced her to miss her entire 

grade 11 season, but as an reflection of her 

character and perseverance during this in- 

jury, she was awarded the “Courage Award” 

- a special Athletic award at the LCI Athletic 

Awards ceremony. 

Cassidy has also been part of the Basketball 

Canada Center for Performance – Alberta 

and the Regional Training Center – 

South; in addition to playing in the Junior 

Horns program and Lethbridge Selects. 

“Throughout her Grade Twelve, Cassidy 

has continued to show that she wants, 

and is capable of playing at the University 

level. She is a very smart player who has so 

much potential and I feel we have only begun 

to see what she is capable of,” continued 

Branch. 

“She will fit nicely into the Pronghorn 

program and she knows the work it takes 

and already has that Pronghorn Pride.”

University of Lethbridge benefits 

from World Water Day 

OTTAWA, ON - Canada’s Environment 

Minister, Jim Prentice in partnership with 

Western Economic Diversification, recently 

announced the Government of Canada’s 

$3.75 million investment towards water 

quality research at the Universities of Lethbridge 

and Saskatchewan. 

“The international theme for World Water 

Day 2010 focuses on the importance of water 

quality. Here at home, the Government 

of Canada also sees water quality as a critical 

issue,” said Minister Prentice. “By partnering 

with these universities on world class science, 

we are working to preserve Canada’s water 

quality for today and future generations.” 

Environment Canada will provide more 

than $1.5 million of in-kind support and 

Western Economic Diversification will provide 

$2.25 million towards research projects 

that will ultimately assist organizations in 

making environmentally-responsible decisions 

aimed at preserving water quality. 

“The Government of Canada is committed 

to supporting innovative and knowledgebased 

research to find new products, technologies 

or services that address environmental 

sustainability issues such as water quality 

and water quantity,” said Western Economic 

Diversification Minister Yelich. “Through investments 

in technology commercialization, 

we are preparing our economy for future 

growth and long-term prosperity.” 

“Access to and sharing of water and land 

use information and knowledge remains 

one of the most significant challenges to the 

development of responsible management 

policies and plans,” said University of Lethbridge 

President and Vice-chancellor Dr. 

Bill Cade. “The Water and Environmental

“Limited Vendor Space Still Available” 

Sciences Hub will be used by governments, 

industry, academia and the public to make 

more-informed decisions regarding water 

and will create a better understanding of this 

resource.” 

The projects complement Environment 

Canada’s commitment to the Global Environment 

Monitoring System Water Program 

(GEMS/Water) of the United Nations 

Environment Program (UNEP), an international 

water science program that develops 

and maintains a global freshwater 

quality information system for use by all 

United Nations members. The program received 

additional federal funding last year. 

In Alberta, the University of Lethbridge will 

lead the establishment of the Water Resource 

Technology Initiative (WRTI), a group that 

will initially develop the Water Hub, an interactive 

web-based platform that will be a 

repository for water data, mapping and imagery, 

and environmental science data. Information 

from the Water Hub will be available 

to help organizations develop water resource 

technologies. 

At the University of Saskatchewan, researchers 

will develop software that can be 

used as a decision-support tool to help energy 

developers make environmentally-responsible 

decisions on power plant locations 

by determining the impact of power plants 

or other power-generating technologies on 

water quantity and quality in the area. Once 

developed, the software will be marketed to 

utility companies, power generation equipment 

suppliers and governments.

World class recording studio 

made me utter “WOW” 

Have you ever walked into a place and 

you were so amazed at what you were looking 

at you just went, “Wow!” I’ve had a few 

of those moments. I remember walking 

into McMahon Stadium in Calgary as a kid 

for my first football game. The players were 

practicing on the field which was real grass 

and at the time was the best manicured field 

in the CFL. There were stadium lights and 

thousands of people in the stands. I had 

never seen anything like it. I turned to my 

dad and said, “Wow.” (Real articulate kid.) 

There was the time I got to walk into a radio 

station control room for the first time with a 

D.J. on the air. There were turntables and cart 

machines and the announcer (Brother Jack 

Neufeld) was wearing headphones and was 

just about to go on the air. The microphone 

was turned on and the music was muted as he 

spoke. Yes, it actually was a “wow” moment 

for me. Last week there was another one. I 

had a chance to visit the brand new stateof-the-art 

recording studio at the University 

Of Lethbridge. It will be part of the Digital 

Audio Arts Program, the only undergraduate 

degree program currently being offered 

in Canada. The studio is custom made and is 

amazing. And as I walked into the room with 

the cherry red hardwood floors and the massive 

sound board, I repeated my comment 

from that McMahon stadium day. “Wow.”

program, Dr. Ron Sakamoto tells me this is 

as good as it gets in the world. This is the type 

of recording studio they have in Nashville. 

Ron is ecstatic that this program will create a 

new generation of sound engineers right out 

of his hometown. Chris Morris is the technical 

specialist with the program and it was fun 

Visit our Easter Buffets 

seeing how enthusiastic he is about the endless

top-name producers or musicians who 

may want to record here. Students would 

then have the opportunity to assist and learn 

with these artists. Are you listening Lady 

Gaga? And students, keep your slurpies out 

of the control room please. 

As you know Ron has won the Canadian 

Country Music Association Promoter of the 

Year award for I believe about 75 years in a 

row. (O.K. it’s only 17.) He tells me that the 

CCMA called him last week and decided the 

award will now be called the Ron Sakamoto 

Award and he will be awarding it to whoever 

is the best Canadian country music promoter 

not named Ron Sakamoto. 

Myles Goodwyn of April Wine 

A man who knows Ron from when he was 

promoting rock and roll is Myles Goodwyn 

of April Wine. Myles phoned my Lounge 

Radio show last week and said to make sure 

I say hi to Ron who he describes as being a 

very nice man. I keep mentioning it, but it’s 

worth repeating. April Wine holds the record 

for the biggest attendance ever at the Enmax/ 

Sportsplex. The Sakamoto-promoted show 

drew 7200 fans in the late 70s. That will never 

be surpassed because it would be against 

the fire code. Myles and April Wine will be 

inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of 

Fame during the Juno Awards on April 18. 

I asked Myles why it’s taken so long for the 

band who’s been together for 40 years to 

get into the Hall. He says you’d have to ask

the organizers. He adds that while it’s taken 

a long time to get there, he is very honored 

because as opposed to winning a group of 

the year award which is only for a year of 

work, the Hall of Fame award encompasses 

a lifetime of work and that’s way cooler. Apparently 

there will be two people presenting 

on behalf of April Wine, something that has 

never been done before. Myles has a daughter 

who is dabbling in the music business. He 

says that she’s just having fun and at this time 

doesn’t appear to be too serious about it. She 

doesn’t come to him for advice and he says 

it’s probably for the best. She could be doing 

the hippest, coolest music but dad wouldn’t 

know it. April Wine is in the studio and will 

be releasing a new CD this year.

We are living longer and 

getting larger 

We are living longer than ever, according 

to a recent American government report 

that states that the average lifespan has now 

increased to 78 years. And the news is even 

better for Canada. On this side of the border, 

we are living to a ripe old age of 80.7 years. In 

1950, it was 68.2 years – of course, back then, 

smoking was encouraged, no one wore seatbelts 

and a transplant was what you did to an 

African Violet when you needed to move it 

to a bigger pot. 

So I guess with this information, we can 

assume all those things we hear on the nightly 

news about this killing us and that killing 

us are not doing a very good job of killing us 

at all. Or maybe, not yet. 

One of the major health issues that the 

talking heads keep yammering on about is 

obesity. Here’s a familiar warning: “obesity is 

the nation’s number one public health problem.” 

That was the New York Times in 1952. 

Almost 50 years later, almost five decades 

of knowing that we should be eating less, has 

anything improved? No, the experts say, it’s 

actually getting worse. 

So what’s going on? What’s the excuse? 

Almost everybody wants to lose at least a 

little weight. Health experts tell us we are in 

an obesity crisis, yet every single one of us 

knows what to do about it: eat less, exercise 

more. It’s a simple formula for an almost impossible 

task. 

Go back in time all the way to the turn of 

the last century, and the battle of the bulge 

was raging even then. The flappers of the 

1920s were wafer thin Kate Moss-types who 

were obsessively watching their weight. And 

people understood even then about the invisible 

nutrients in food that promised better 

health. 

Even though we know better, our best intentions 

are easily swept away in a wave of 

temptation, and the temptation factor is 

something the experts don’t measure. Television 

executives get it. They have entire 

TV networks built around our fascination 

with food. TV chefs like the cantankerous

seem to have with food in his book, The End 

of Overeating. He says the billion-dollar food 

industry has done a masterful job in learning 

how to design foods to be optimally stimulating 

– foods layered and loaded with fat, 

sugar and salt that are as self-reinforcing as 

cocaine. 

Some of the leading addiction researchers 

in the world believe highly processed, modern 

day foods interact with the brain in ways 

similar to drugs of abuse. Rena Mendelson, 

one of Canada’s leading nutritionists, says 

people are compelled to eat food because 

it’s attractive, because they know it’s going 

to taste good, and when they eat it, it tastes 

good and as a result they want more of it because 

it tastes so good. So nutrition is probably 

playing less of an important role than it 

needs to. 

Taste is another clue to the mystery of why 

we just can’t cut back. Entire industries are 

devoted to making sure it tastes good. They 

are only trying to make us happy, to make 

us like the food and, of course, buy the food. 

They don’t really think about whether it’s 

good for us if our doughnuts are drenched in 

extra sugar and stuffed with cream. 

The real problem, though, is what’s happening 

with the younger generation. The 

number of obese people in that population is 

rising. The biggest indicator in terms of this 

problem is the number of people presenting 

with type two diabetes, children in particular. 

Type two diabetes used to be referred to 

as adult onset diabetes. Now it’s showing up 

in children, which was never before heard of. 

This increases the danger more than ever. 

Other factors are included besides our addiction 

to foods saturated with fats, sugars 

and salt. We live more sedentary lifestyles, we 

eat larger portions and the junk food costs 

less than the healthier choices. 

So the solution may be simple: eat better, 

eat less and exercise more. 

But have you ever prepared fried chicken? 

It’s moist, it’s succulent, it’s crispy, it’s tasty 

and boy, when that smell fills the room, it’s a 

real turn on. It’s hard to stop at just a couple 

of pieces, and that’s just dinner. Breakfast 

contains four eggs, four strips of bacon and 

a coffee that contains more sugar than six 

scoops of ice cream. 

Maybe I won’t make it to the Canadian average 

of 80.7 years eating this way, but if you 

would like to live to be 100, a recent study 

found that a Mediterranean diet rich in fish, 

olive oil, fruits and vegetables can increase 

longevity in people already in their 90s. But 

since Willard Scott doesn’t wish happy birthday 

to people who make it to 100 anymore on 

The Today Show, what’s the point?

Raptors at crossroads 

JOURNAL 

Spring is the season of optimism. Winter 

is over. It is a time of rebirth. Spring is a time 

to fire up the grill once again, or to bring out 

the motorbike. Or, if you’re the Toronto Maple 

Leafs, break out the golf clubs. 

However, it’s not all roses this spring for 

the Toronto Raptors. As the calendar flips 

over to April, the NBA club is fading hard as 

the regular season comes to a close. 

For the Raps, missing the playoffs would 

be bad enough. It also may just be the impetus 

that locks Chris Bosh’s decision to leave 

town. Talk about a double-whammy. 

Now, the only thing that may save Canada’s 

only NBA franchise from not missing 

the second-season is that the Eastern Conference 

has only seven other decent-to-great 

teams. 

So, it looks like Toronto will still manage to 

hold onto at least the eighth seed in the east, 

perhaps as high as sixth. Chicago might upset 

that plan by sneaking into the final playoff 

berth. However, the Bulls are actually playing 

worse than the Raptors at this point in time. 

“Well, Marty,” one or more of my faithful 

readers might soon say: “They made the 

playoffs! That’s grrrreat!” Who knew Tony 

the Tiger reads For What It’s Worth? 

And I would respond: “Well, Tony, as the 

eighth seed, you get the privilege of facing 

Cleveland in the first round. Good luck 

against sure-to-be Most Valuable Player LeBron 

James and the rest of the Cavaliers, who 

are going to win about 70 games when it’s all 

said and done.” 

So, even if the Raptors make the post sea- 

ke 

FOR WHAT IT’S 

WORTH 

M A R T Y B A C E D A 

son, they are in for an early exit. Anything 

outside of getting swept by the Cavs would 

be a surprise. 

Then it’s decision time for Bosh. The organization’s 

all-time leader in points and rebounds 

can opt out of the final year of his 

contract as of July 1. There is a 110 per cent 

chance of this happening. You might have 

heard about the 2010 free agent class, since 

there are some other prominent names that 

will be on the market: a couple of guards 

named LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. 

Also, thought to be available: Amar’e Stoudemire, 

Joe Johnson and Carlos Boozer 

among others. 

Despite of all the talent that will be on the 

market this summer, Bosh will be one of the 

most sought-after players. Big men with his 

size and skill are hard to come by, and the 

Georgia Tech (Go Wramblin’ Wreck!) grad is 

a legit double-double (double figure averages 

in points and rebounds per game) machine. 

In fact, at 26-years-old, Bosh is entering 

what should be his prime. The 6’10’’ forward 

is totalling a career-best in both points 

and rebounds per game, while shooting his 

highest percentage from the field. He is the 

heart-and-soul of the Raptors, and it is hard 

to imagine what the club would be like without 

him. 

However, there is a dilemma in signing 

Bosh long-term. Is he really a “franchise” 

player? For every Kobe Bryant or Tim Duncan 

who have inked max-contracts and then 

led a team to a championship(s), there are 

lots of other players who made similar money 

only to clog up salary caps and become 

an onerous burden on a franchise: Stephon 

Marbury, Tracy McGrady, Zach Randolph – 

and, unbelievably, many, many others. 

If you look at the NBA champions from 

1980 on, there is one common denominator: 

each winner had a least one Hall-of-Famecalibre 

player. The Los Angeles Lakers of the 

1980s had Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. 

The Boston Celtics of that same 

era boasted Larry Bird and Kevin McHale. 

The Philadelphia 76ers had Julius Erving and 

Moses Malone. 

As the ‘80s shifted into the ‘90s, Detroit 

was led by Isaiah Thomas and Joe Dumars. 

Then the Chicago Bulls took things over, 

thanks to some guy named Michael Jordan, 

aided by Scottie Pippen. Houston earned a 

pair of titles while MJ was playing baseball, 

led by Hakeem Olajuwon. Jordan returned 

and won three more rings before the San An- 

tonio Spurs and Tim Duncan won their first 

title with David Robinson. Another Lakers 

dynasty then followed with Shaquille O’Neal 

and Bryant leading the way. 

There is one exception: Detroit’s title in 

2004. Now, there’s an outside chance Chauncey 

Billups could sneak his way into the Hall, 

but it’s a long shot. Miami in 2006 had O’Neal 

on its title side and Wade, who has the careerarc 

of a Hall-of-Famer. Also this decade, the 

Spurs won two more championships with 

Duncan, then recently the Celtics with Kevin 

Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce – all three 

good Springfield bets – and last year Kobe 

and the Lake Show. 

Is Bosh in that class? It’s hard to say. He has 

yet to lead his team to a post-season series 

win in two previous tries. 

Does Bosh even want to stay? The Raptors 

inked Hedo Turkoglu to a big contract this 

past summer to be his sidekick and the Turkish 

national, so good for Orlando last season, 

has been a bust, averaging five points per 

game less. Former first-overall pick Andrea 

Bargnani continues to play inconsistently. 

Point guards Jarrett Jack and Jose Calderon 

have been up and down. 

The Raptors are a disaster defensively, with 

issues rebounding as well. You may have 

heard defence wins championships. 

While Bosh is by far the team’s best player, 

can the rest of the supporting cast help him 

get to the next level? That seems dubious at 

this point. 

And like the coming of spring, another tradition 

might just be seen in Toronto: another 

all-star player heading to another team.


HOW TO GET YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM FIGHTING! 

IMMUNITY AND CANCER 

The first and probably the most important part of the protocol is an alkaline 

diet for cancer patients. The second feature is to drink only purified or 

spring water. 

A deficiency of B vitamins causes over-tiredness and an increase in anxiety 

and stress levels. Ultra B Complex incorporates co-enzyme B vitamins, 

functional flush-free niacin, and enhanced-absorption choline. The result 

is a fast-acting B complex that does what B’s are supposed to do: actively 

support the mind and the body as well as the nervous, cardiovascular and 

digestive systems. 

We must remember the Acai Berry. It is a powerful antioxidant with the 

highest ORAC value of any fruit or vegetable reported to date. Acai contains 

more antioxidants than red wine and seem to be helpful in scavenging the 

harmful superoxide radical. These antioxidants are able to enter human 

cells. “Natural Factors AcaiRich Super Strength Acai Berry Concentrate” 

has a full range of antioxidants and phytonutrients from wild-harvested, 

organic acai processed within 24 hours of harvest.

Also, we need to keep in mind that infection protection starts in your mouth. 

The word pro-biotic literally means “for life”. Oral probiotics prevent the 

overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria and act as our first line of defense against 

infections that enter through the mouth. BLIS K12 is a new, advanced probiotic 

and is the naturally occurring component of certain strains of microorganisms 

which control undesirable and disease-causing bacteria. Imagine 

chewing a delicious piece of organically flavoured gum that literally comes 

to life in your mouth! That’s what every piece of Cultured Care Probiotic 

gum does and it begins to colonize and grow a select community of friendly, 

infection-fighting, protective probiotic bacteria in your mouth. 

And even though milk thistle is not a new herb to the health food industry, 

the studies and clinical evidence of this amazing medicinal botanical 

continue to expand each year. In addition to its well-documented effects of 

protecting and rejuvenating the liver, we now know that milk thistle also has 

antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. It 

lowers cholesterol and arteriosclerosis, reduces metabolic syndrome and 

insulin resistance, protects the kidneys, and reduces heavy metal toxicity.

“It’s really peaceful out here.” 

Walker notes the course has been around 

since 1925, so the turf is well-established and 

the trees are mature. With Pothole Creek

Marine Biology trip for 

grade 8 students 

By Lisa Doerksen 


Five days on a 26-foot boat with 18 middle-school 

students doesn’t sound like everyone’s 

idea of a great time. But for G.S. Lakie 

teachers Lisa McGee and Andy Tyslau, it was 

the highlight of the year. 

The pair recently made marine biology 

relevant and exciting for a group of Grade 8 

science students by taking them on a sailing 

trip through the Gulf Islands. The trip is the 

first of its kind of middle-school students in 

Lethbridge. 

“For Andy and I, the highlight was being 

able to watch the kids,” says McGee, a Grade 

7 math and science teacher at the middle 

school. 

The trip gave the students a hands-on look 

at the marine biology portion of their science 

curriculum - studying fresh and salt water 

systems. 

“The kids know the fresh water systems 

pretty well,” says Tyslau, who teaches Grade 8 

science. “But when you get into marine ecology, 

only the kids who’ve been there have any 

idea. 

“And even a lot of the kids who have been 

to the coast never spent time like we did 

looking at what lives there.” 

The five-day trip, which began March 15, 

took the students to several of the Gulf Islands, 

where they took shore excursions to 

study the different species living in the tidal 

regions. 

“There are so many species that live there, 

compared to what we see in land-locked Alberta,” 

notes Tyslau. 

The trip - born of a mutual desire by Mc- 

Gee and Tyslau to bring the curriculum to 

life in a meaningful way - also gave students 

some great sailing experience. 

Each day, students were divided into four 

groups: the navigation watch, responsible 

for reading maps and calculating direction, 

speed and distance; the deck hands, responsible 

for raising sails, swabbing the decks and 

raising and dropping anchor; the galley crew, 

which took care of cooking and cleaning; and 

the naturalists, who kept watch for different 

species of wildlife spotted from the boat. 

McGee says the students started with the 

Captain or a crew member guiding them, but 

got the hang of it quickly. 

“By the second or third day, the students 

were responsible for getting from point A to 

point B,” she says. 

The charter company - Blue Water Adventures 

- was fantastic with the students, notes 

Tyslau. 

Tyslau says the experience kept students on 

their toes from sun up to sun down. 

“They were busy all day,” he says. “By 9:30 

p.m. I had 13-year-olds asking to go to bed.” 

To record their experiences and adventures, 

each student on the trip had his or her 

own blog, which was updated almost daily. 

Tyslau notes the blogs had the added bonus 

of being instantly available to parents online, 

allowing them to keep in touch with their 

children. The group also posted pictures and 

used a GPS tracking unit to broadcast their 

location every 12 minutes so parents always 

had up-to-date information on where the 

boat was. 

Since returning, both McGee and Tyslau 

have been amazed at the positive feedback 

from the students. 

“A lot of the kids kept saying it was lifechanging,” 

says Tyslau. “And you just don’t 

know what’s going to come out of that. To 

hear them say that is flattering, and it’s hopeful 

for the future.” 

McGee notes that after sharing the experience 

with her Grade 7 science class, 27 out of 

28 students are hoping to go on a similar trip 

next year. 

Even McGee - who took a similar trip when 

she was a Grade 12 student - and Tyslau are 

hoping to hit the high seas again. 

“With the success of the trip and the positive 

feedback from the students, (the school 

division) is open to doing it again,” says Tyslau. 

“We’re hoping there’ll be a repeat.”

MOVIE MILL 

MENTIONS 

By Leonard Binning 


Film: Shutter Island (135min) 

Rating: 14A - Coarse Language, 

Disturbing Content. Not 

Recommended for Children warning 

Similar Movies: Spellbound; Memento 

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio; Ben 

Kingsley; Mark Ruffalo 

Director: Martin Scorsese 

Synopsis: Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio), 

an up and coming Federal Marshal, is assigned 

to investigate the disappearance of a 

patient from Shutter Island’s Ashecliffe Hospital. 

He’d been gunning for an assignment 

on the island for reasons of his own -- but 

before long he wonders whether he hasn’t 

been brought there as part of a twisted plot 

by hospital doctors whose radical treatments 

range from unethical to illegal to downright 

sinister. 

Teddy’s code-breaking skills soon provide 

a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him 

access to records he suspects would break the 

case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication 

with the mainland, more dangerous 

criminals “escape” in the confusion, 

and the puzzling, improbable clues proliferate, 

Teddy begins to doubt everything -- his 

memory, his partner (Ruffalo), even his own 

sanity. 

Opinion: My initial instincts were to dislike 

this film before even seeing it due to the 

fact that its release date had changed several 

times – and that is almost ALWAYS a bad 

sign in this industry. Scorsese likes to direct 

DiCaprio and this film has Leonardo front 

and center in a cerebral mystery thriller. I 

have spoken with people who have read the 

novel, and they feel that the movie translated 

well. 

“Shutter Island” is dark, it is brooding, it 

is a bit confusing upon initial viewing. Now, 

some time after having seen the film, it provokes 

deeper processing about the storylines, 

the plot, the twists and the ultimate payoff . 

It is a well crafted Martin Scorsese film that is 

satisfying on a certain level. I believe this to 

be a film, not unlike “The 6th Sense” where 

you could go back and enjoy it more fully 

Not for 

the kids 

knowing the end results. There are clues 

evident throughout the development that I 

should have observed initially – but due to 

the strong acting performances by those involved, 

I got pulled deep into the unravelling 

plot. My only real complaint, other than the 

disturbing content at times, was the length – 

it just felt too long for my frame of mind. 

Bottom Line: If you are a fan of Scorsese 

and DiCaprio, and you like a good thriller/ 

mystery that will provoke thought - then this 

effort should not disappoint you. Don’t bring 

the little kids to this one.

Taking back your life! 

By Chris Hibbard 

Communications Coordinator 

Chinook Primary Care Network 


Newspapers this week detailed how Canadians 

are spending more time in front of 

televisions and computer screens now than 

ever before. This is worrisome on many levels, 

especially as obesity and diabetes rates 

continue to increase as well. Every hour 

spent in front a glowing screen is one less 

hour spent being active and engaging in 

healthy activity. 

In the past, Canadians have often approached 

health and wellness from a reactive 

standpoint, only visiting their doctors or 

hospital staff when pain or other problems 

arise. This ‘conventional’ approach to healing 

may treat the sickness, it’s true, but it does 

little to improve our overall well-being. 

The Chinook Primary Care Network and 

its associated clinics and Family Practice 

Teams are trying to influence this chain of 

events, encouraging citizens to engage in 

healthy eating habits and lifestyles while taking 

a proactive and responsible approach to 

daily living. 

In our modern world many of us don’t 

have a whole lot of extra time to spend on 

leisure pursuits and activities. Nevertheless, 

it’s important to remember that your health 

is your health, and no one else can ‘make’ you 

healthier, without your active participation. 

Some of the first steps to healthy living 

involve watching what you eat, making sure 

that you consume enough fruits and vegetable 

every day. Decreasing the amount of 

red meat you consume in favour of healthier 

white meat substitutes may be a wise idea. If 

you smoke cigarettes or drink too much alcohol 

or caffeine – think about quitting! Certain 

diseases and conditions can put you at 

greater risk for developing other, more serious 

health problems. Exercise is another big 

part of the puzzle that needs to be addressed. 

From weight training and muscle development 

to cardiovascular exercise and stretching, 

exercise improves your quality of life – 

it’s that simple. 

Living a healthy lifestyle requires tremendous 

determination, dedication and inner 

strength, it’s true. Staying healthy can be 

even more difficult, and may involve changing 

your mindset regularly - from the choices 

you make at the grocery store to the amount 

of sunshine and fresh air you let into your 

world. But the outcome is well worth the 

challenge. We know today that prevention 

and living a healthier life is the key, not only 

to physical health but to emotional, mental 

and spiritual well-being as well. 

In order to promote good health on all 

levels; it is important to participate and take 

personal responsibility for your lifestyle 

choices and well-being. An ounce of prevention 

is worth more than a pound of cure. So 

close that laptop for a while and shut off the 

TV, you just never know what you’ll find if 

out get out and walk it off. Here are some 

more good general tips on how to easily take 

more responsibility for your own health: 

1. Once a year you should make sure you 

are on track for all your health care needs. 

Make a visit to your doctor a regular annual 

occurrence. Depending on your age and 

your sex, you should be sure that you are on 

track for certain health screenings; including 

blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels 

and more. 

2. Starting at about age 50, all adults, 

both men and women, should begin getting 

screened for colorectal cancer – the second 

leading cause of cancer deaths in Alberta. 

As well, most experts still recommend mammograms 

every two years for most women 

beginning at age 40, and pap smears every 

three years for women between age 21 and 70. 

Screening is the only way to detect colorectal, 

breast, and cervical cancers early, when many 

cases can still be prevented or treated. 

3. Men and women should both be aware 

of the risks associated with gender-related 

thyroid and prostate issues. Don’t wait until 

something bad happens to see your doctor. 

Let the beginning of the New Year or another 

date like your birthday stand as a reminder to 

have a health screening. 

Remember - you hold the keys to your 

healthcare future, in being proactive and 

taking better care of yourself. Visit www. 

primarycarenetwork.com to find a local 

physician and learn more about our region’s 

many patient self-care programs, services 

and resources that are available to assist you 

on your journey to good health - taking back 

your life!


JOURNAL 

HOMES Maid 

Easy home makeover 

(NC)—Instead of making major renovations, transform 

your home by simply rejuvenating and modernizing. Hilary 

Farr, designer and host of W Network’s Love It or List It, offers 

six simple tips for upgrading your living space without 

breaking the budget. 

Update Your Furniture 

Give a favourite old couch a new look. Add some throw 

pillows in all sorts of colours and textures. Why not give 

your old chairs a new look too? Reupholster them in a richlooking 

new fabric. Make white plastic patio chairs look new 

again by using Vim Cream to remove dirt and tough stains. 

Add a finishing touch with new chair covers or colourful 

throw pillows. 

Declutter and Organize 

You’d be amazed by how great a space can look once it’s 

cleared of knick-knacks, paperwork and random items. Why 

not plan a thorough spring-cleaning and, while you’re at it, 

be ruthless and toss or give away what’s no longer needed. 

Organize what’s left by investing in storage such as decorative 

baskets and boxes. This will help you show off those special 

pieces such as coffee tables, bookshelves and cabinets. Then 

rearrange books, picture frames and vases where they can 

now be seen and enjoyed. 

Paint 

Fresh paint on the walls can instantly open up and appear 

to enlarge a room while also creating a dramatic or even subtle 

change in décor. Be adventurous, but choose colours that 

will enhance your furniture and floors or carpets. For that 

finishing touch, paint your old furniture and picture frames 

a bold new colour that complements the room. 

Rejuvenate Baseboards and Walls 

Baseboards frame the entire space of your home, so keep 

them looking fresh and bright by vacuuming and cleaning. 

Keep walls looking their best with Vim Cream, which is specially 

formulated to remove scuff marks, dirt and stains. 

Special Treatment for Windows 

Plastic blinds and paper shades can do the job but won’t 

make the most of your windows or décor. Use options which 

will not only do the job but also look gorgeous. Choose roman 

blinds in a beautiful fabric, wooden plantation shutters 

or luxurious looking curtains. Any of these affordable options 

gives long-term value—whether you plan to stay or sell. 

Restore Floors 

Your Way 

Move In/Outs 

Janitorial 

Services 

If your home is older, try lifting a small piece of carpeting. 

You might find gorgeous hardwood floors beneath. It will be 

worth the work to remove any carpet adhesives to be ready to 

finally sand and finish. Rejuvenate and add a shine to existing 

hardwood, laminate or linoleum flooring by using Vim Oxy- 

Gel all-purpose cleaner, which leaves a fresh scent.

a single 16:9 ratio widescreen or two separate 4:3 ratio split screens with separate wireless 

headphones. 

In last week’s issue of Head to Head, the summary portion for the Honda Pilot was replaced with the Jeep Liberty 

summary portion. The Lethbridge Journal apologizes to both Honda and Jeep, and additionally like to include here 

the proper summary that should have appeared. 

After a major redesign last year, the Honda Pilot sees no changes for 2010, and pricing should remain about 

the same. With interior space, a new muscular exterior, and a more powerful engine, test drivers say it’s a great 

buy within its class. Though trucky on the outside, Pilot is as car-like as any vehicle in this class. That’s a good 

thing, as this crossover’s combination of performance, utility, and passenger accommodations. The Pilot comes 

in several trims, including the base LX, EX, EX-L and all-new luxurious Touring model. Though front-wheel 

drive is standard, it’s available in all-wheel drive.

JOURNAL 

The Golden Rule 

is play fair 

When my children were young, I refereed 

a lot of arguments. I remember trying to 

teach them the Golden Rule: “Do to others 

as you would have them do to you.” While 

this principle seemed readily understandable 

to my adult mind, somehow it seemed 

to increase the frequency and intensity of 

conflict. I didn’t get it. Finally I discussed this 

principle with my kids and found out that 

they interpreted the golden rule as a license 

for revenge. They understood it to mean “Do 

to others as they do to you.” I suppose if I had 

studied more developmental psychology, I 

would have realized that children think concretely. 

To think abstractly is beyond their 

capability at a young age. 

While we can perhaps understand why 

children do not practice the Golden Rule, we 

have little excuse as adults. We cannot plead 

ignorance! 

Is the Golden Rule relevant to the marketplace? 

Business coaches Stephen Kohn and 

Vincent O’Connell are convinced that it is, 

and cite following this principle as one of six 

habits of highly effective bosses. 

Following the Golden Rule is similar to 

demonstrating empathy. Through empathy, 

we seek to understand and enter into the experience 

of others. Examining how we would 

like to be treated in situations and acting accordingly 

takes empathy a step further. Taking 

time to consider the consequences of or 

possible reactions to decisions can prevent 

hasty actions and ensure a more favorable 

outcome. 

WAY FOR BUSINESS 

By asking questions such as “How will this 

decision impact my team?” or “How would 

I feel if I were in their shoes?” managers can 

either confirm the rightness of their decisions 

or make revisions that will enable a 

greater degree of buy-in. 

Kohn and O’Connell identify four ways 

managers can follow the Golden Rule: 

First, treat employees with respect. No one 

deserves to be treated rudely. Through empathic 

listening and careful consideration of 

other points of view, managers demonstrate 

that they value each person on their team. 

People feel respected when their ideas are 

heard, seriously considered, and even implemented. 

Second, managers need to treat everyone 

fairly. Playing favorites is never justified. 

Fair managers produce loyal team members. 

When employees are called upon to go above 

and beyond e.g. to stay late to meet a deadline, 

they will more readily respond when 

a history of fairness has been established. 

Fair managers will seek ways to honour the 

extra efforts of their team. They may even 

discuss with their employees how best to do 

so. While managers may not always have authority 

to offer extra pay, they may be able to 

let staff leave early on occasion. I recall one 

staff member who was consistently required 

to put in extra hours at certain seasons of the 

year. I offered to pay her for the extra time 

but she elected to bank hours, preferring to 

take extra time off during slow periods. 

Third, managers need to demonstrate honesty 

in words and deeds. Kohn and McConnell 

state, “Trust builds at different speeds in 

people, but it deteriorates at a very rapid rate 

when it is betrayed.” 

Fourth, managers need to value diversity. 

People are not cogs in a machine. They 

come from unique family and cultural backgrounds. 

They possess unique temperaments, 

gifts, and aspirations. Wise managers are not 

threatened by diversity. They recognize the 

truth of the adage that, “if two people always 

agree, one of them is irrelevant.” 

Yes, the Golden Rule is relevant to the 

marketplace! In the words of J.C. Penny, who 

used it as the key operating principle of his 

company, “The Golden Rule is still golden.”

By Bill Axtell 

For The Lethbridge Journal 

According to the well-known late American 

motivational speaker and humorist, 

Charles “Fantastic” Jones, who died in 2008, 

“in five years you will be the same, except 

for two things: the people you meet and the 

books you read.” It is a theme Jones spoke of 

often throughout his lengthy career of speaking 

tours which spanned nearly 60 years. 

That’s where the Lethbridge Public Library 

comes in. “The Library provides the only 

significant other opportunity for the public 

to meet people and to ‘forum’ on your ideas 

with others with common interests,” Jeff 

McLarty, Community Support Facilitator, 

said. 

McLarty explained that university students 

and faculty members are “accustomed 

to open discussions on campus, constantly 

meeting new people and exchanging ideas,” 

adding that “it’s all part of a university’s educational 

opportunity.” 

“But if you are not part of the university, 

where else can you go to find the same 

chance to share your thoughts with people 

you meet? Where can you always find an 

‘open forum’ available to everyone who 

walks through the door?” he questioned. “It’s 

the library!” he answered. 

“That’s why we have chosen to provide 

living room settings for our patrons,” he ex- 

plained as he discussed plans for the interior 

of the new Crossings Branch scheduled to 

open in West Lethbridge in September. 

“For example,” McLarty pointed out, “The 

Kinsmen Club of Lethbridge has kindly 

pledged to fund at special area to be called 

the Kinsmen Fireplace Reading Area. It will 

provide living room sofas gathered around 

a large, state-of-the-art electric fireplace to 

provide warmth and comfort for sitting to 

read or for gathering for impromptu discussions. 

“We’re looking for a relaxed social atmosphere”, 

he said. “We’re trying to make our 

customers comfortable while they enjoy the 

use of the library’s extensive resources. It follows 

our ‘open space’ concept,” he added. 

Moreover, “you can relax while your children 

play with the Library’s toys, puzzles and 

games in the children’s department,” he commented. 

The Library’s downtown branch provides 

an extensive schedule of Theater Programs, 

free of charge to everyone wishing to attend. 

For example, Jeff explained, “we have 

a free legal education program called ‘Law at 

Lunch.’” Topics include wills, small claims, 

small businesses and home based businesses, 

and home legal rights. 

McLarty encouraged people to “check our 

website for a complete schedule of all our 

planned events.” He added that the complete 

schedule for the Bookmobile is also available, 

which is “our primary outreach tool.” 

“People would be amazed at how extensive 

our library services actually are,” Jeff pointed 

out, also mentioning, as an example, that a 

family can check out a family pass to the Galt 

Museum at no cost beyond the annual fee for 

a library card. 

All these services “are among the numerous 

reasons that people willing to support 


It’s the ‘people you meet and the books you read’ 


Jeff McLarty, 

the Lethbridge Public Library’s 

Community Support Facilitator 

Blair Foster (left), of Aurora Capital, brings the Library a few keys closer to 

the goal by purchasing keys from Kathleen Obara, of the Library staff. 


the Library’s Branching Out fund-raising 

campaign are participating in a wonderful 

collection of services to benefit everyone in 

our community,” he said as an encouragement. 

“We have lots of keys available for sale, 

any one of which could unlock the Kinsmen 

safe containing an instant win of $500 for ten 

lucky participants, followed by a secondary 

draw for $10,000 which will be won by someone 

from the Lethbridge area,” McLardy reminded. 

The keys are $15 for one key or $20 

for two keys, available from the general information 

desk in the main branch downtown. 

In addition to purchasing keys, individuals 

and corporations willing to help fill up the 

new library by making small or large donations 

may do so by contacting Jeff McLarty,

glorious day! 

Mr. Ralph Vanhell, beloved husband of Annie 

Vanhell of Picture Butte, passed away at the St. 

Michael’s Palliative Care Unit at the age of 57 years.

had, his speech and humor being some of the last.

rely on our Lord Jesus Christ for all that he needed, 

he stayed true to his wife and children and fought 

with courage that could only have been given from 

above.
