COVER STORY 

By Jeff Wiebe 

For the Lethbridge Journal 

Fighting unmentionable 

cancers 

Yvonne Bainbridge and boyfriend Mike 

Glendinning are committed to fighting unmentionable 

cancers of all types. 

The so-called “unmentionables” are cancers 

below the waist, including colorectal, 

bladder, testicular, ovarian, and others. Because 

the areas affected by these cancers are 

relatively private, they often don’t get the attention 

of other, more prominent cancers. 

Bainbridge is director of Saving Third 

Base, a local fundraising team that will be 

participating in The Underwear Affair, a 

unique awareness-raising event in Calgary 

in June. The affair is held annually in major 

cities across Canada, and sees participants 

strip down to their undies and run or walk 

to draw attention and raise money to combat 

cancers below the waist. 

“It all depends on how adventurous or how 

crazy you’re feeling. You’ll have some people 

who actually wear just the underwear, and 

you’ll have some who put them on top of 

clothes, that sort of thing,” says Bainbridge, 

who will be participating for the fourth time. 

She was spurred to get involved in the 

event when Mike was diagnosed with cancer 

while the couple lived in Kelowna. While 

Mike received treatment in Vancouver, Bainbridge, 

first took part in the affair. 

“It was my way of feeling like I was doing 

something productive instead of standing by 

and watching him go through it all,” she explains. 

Donning boxer shorts and a tank top, 

Bainbridge thought she was being quite adventurous, 

but soon learned otherwise. 

“The first year around, I thought I was 

pretty out-there until I got to the event. Vancouver 

is much more adventurous in Calgary, 

and it’s in July, so it’s a tad bit warmer,” 

she says. 

Several people on the fundraising team 

have expressed their reluctance to run

Mike Glendining of RV Field of Dreams will 

be in the Ride to Conquer Cancer 

around in their underwear, but they’re reassured 

when Bainbridge reminds them of the 

much more uncomfortable situations faced 

by victims of below-the-waist cancers.

“Just get yourself out there and go for it.” 

Mike is also throwing himself out there to 

combat cancer, but in a much more strenuous 

way – he’ll be participating in the 2010 Alber- 

ta Ride to Conquer Cancer in Calgary, a 200 

km bike ride that takes place over two days in 

June. Participants begin at Spruce Meadows 

in Calgary and ride along the Rockies before 

ending the first day at Chain Lakes Provincial 

Park. Mike’s cancer was largely located in his 

leg, and Bainbridge says the race will be a test 

for him. 

“For him, his leg is a huge factor, so actually 

being able to get out there and use the 

bike and do that kind of a distance is going to 

be a big challenge for him and his leg.” 

The pair recently organized a car wash 

and BBQ to raise pledges for their respective 

events. Bainbridge says it’s all in an effort to 

put an end to diseases that affect thousands 

of people across Alberta. 

“It’s actually quite amazing how many people 

it does affect,” she explains.

Good Earth supports good causes 

LETHBRIDGE, AB. – Good Earth Coffeehouse 

and Bakery, an environmentally responsible 

chain of specialty coffeehouses, is 

proud to be the world’s first retailer of Earth 

Coffee, an Organic and Fair Trade coffee that 

donates 100% of its net profits to the United 

Nations World Food Programme (WFP). 

For every bag of Earth Coffee purchased, a 

child is fed for a week. The global food pandemic 

claims of the life of a child every six 

seconds and the WFP is the largest humanitarian 

agency fighting hunger worldwide. 

As part of its 2010 Earth Day actions, Good 

Earth is selling bags of Earth Coffee (www. 

earthcoffee.org) at all Good Earth locations 

until May 16th, and will be giving away free 

coffee on Earth Day, April 22 to anyone who 

makes a donation to the WFP at the Lethbridge 

Good Earth location at 2424 Fairway 

Plaza South. 

Additionally, street teams from Good 

Earth will be in action around the Lethbridge 

Good Earth cafe rewarding “random acts of 

green” by Lethbridge citizens. Teams will 

hand out earth-friendly gifts, including reusable 

tote bags and Bernard Callebaut Chocolate 

bars (provided by Bullfrog Power). 

“We support Earth Day and we want to reward 

other people who support it,” says Nan 

Eskenazi, Co-Founder, Good Earth Coffeehouse 

and Bakery. “The Earth Coffee promotion 

helps feed hungry children worldwide, 

and our Street Teams connect us to those 

people who are doing their part to lighten 

their eco-footprint.” 

Good Earth’s environmental initiatives 

include bullfrog powering all of its locations 

with 100 per cent green electricity (for 

an emissions footprint reduction of over 

700 tonnes of CO2 per year), using organic 

ingredients in a variety of the items on its 

menu, serving Rainforest Alliance Certified, 

organic, fair trade, and shade-grown coffees, 

and reducing materials and waste wherever 

possible. 

Research shows massive 

ice cap is shrinking 

CALGARY, AB. – Close to 50 years of 

data show the Devon Island ice cap, one of 

the largest ice masses in the Canadian High 

Arctic, is thinning and shrinking. 

A paper published in the March edition 

of Arctic, the journal of the University of 

Calgary’s Arctic Institute of North America, 

reports that between 1961 and 1985, the ice 

cap grew in some years and shrank in others, 

resulting in an overall loss of mass. 

But that changed 1985 when scientists began 

to see a steady decline in ice volume and 

area each year. 

“We’ve been seeing more mass loss since 

1985,” says Dr. Sarah Boon, lead author on 

the paper and a Geography Professor at the 

University of Lethbridge. 

The reason for the change? Warmer summers. 

The High Arctic is essentially a desert 

with low rates of annual precipitation. There 

is little accumulation of snow in the winter 

and cool summers, with temperatures at or 

below freezing, serve to maintain levels. Any 

increase of snow and ice takes years. 

This delicate equilibrium is easily upset. 

One warm summer can wipe out five years 

of growth. And though the accelerated melting 

trend began in 1985, the last decade has 

seen four years with unusually warm summers 

- 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008. 

“What we see during these warm summers 

is the extent of the melt is greater,” says 

Boon about the results of a five-year remote 

sensing study that ran between 2000 and 

2004. 

The white surfaces of snow and ice reflect 

heat – a process known as the albedo effect. 

Retreating ice exposes dark soil and gravel, 

which absorb heat and increase the melt rate 

of ice along the periphery of the cap. But it’s 

not only the edges of the cap that are losing 

ice. At lower altitudes the ice is thinning as 

well. 

Changes to the Devon ice cap, which covers 

approximately 14,400 sq. km, could have 

multiple impacts on everything from ship 

traffic to sea level. 

There has already been an increase in the 

number of icebergs calving off from outlet 

glaciers that flow into the ocean. Boon explains 

that melt water runs between the bottom 

of the glacier and the ground, creating 

a slippery cushion that allows the glacier to 

slide forward more rapidly than it would in 

colder conditions. 

“There are a lot of things we need to consider. 

One is the iceberg calving and its implications 

for shipping. These things don’t 

just go away, they float out into the ocean,” 

says Boon. A second area of concern is the 

contribution of increased glacier melt to rising 

sea level. 

The work of Boon and her colleagues demonstrates 

the importance of long-term research. 

Work on Devon Island began in 1961 

with researchers from the Arctic Institute of 

North America, including long-time Arctic 

scientist Roy ‘Fritz’ Koerner, who was part 

of the current study until his death in 2008. 

This ongoing research, which is continuing 

thanks to federal International Polar year 

funding, has created a comprehensive dataset 

that contributes to the understanding of the 

complex play between the ice cap, the atmosphere 

and the ocean. 

“We all know long-term studies are important 

but they are really hard to pay for.”

Year Time Capsule during the 2010 Historic 

Lethbridge Festival. 

In the interest of preserving history for 

future generations and celebrating the 1885- 

1985 Centennial of the City of Lethbridge, 

the Time Capsule Committee placed the 

Time Capsules in three chambers under a 

concrete crypt twenty-five years ago. 

The crypt is located at the top of the coulees 

on 1st Avenue South, between the High Level 

Bridge and the Lethbridge Brewery Gardens. 

The crypt consists of three chambers holding 

the color coded capsules to be opened at the 

25 Year (Silver – May 4, 2010), 50 Year (Gold 

– 2035) and 100 Year (Platinum – 2085) anniversaries. 

Each capsule is stored with nitrogen and 

vacuum sealed, and contains information 

about individuals, families, churches, organizations, 

schools, lodges, businesses, civic offices 

and factories in Lethbridge in 1985. 

“ The unearthing on Tuesday, May 4th will 

simply be to bring the 25 Year capsules out 

of the Crypt and move them to a location 

to open in a safety controlled environment”, 

says Mayor Bob Tarleck. He adds, “Once Galt 

Museum & Archives staff confirm the condition 

of the contents, time capsule participants 

are welcome to pick up their items at the Galt 

Museum & Archives on Friday and Saturday 

May 7th and 8th from 1:00-4:00pm.” 

Flexahopper Plastics Inc, the local company 

that placed the contents into the capsules 

in 1985, will once again be on hand to move 

and open the 25 Year Time Capsule. 

“We are excited to celebrate a part of our 

Lethbridge history,” comments Robin Hopkins, 

Board member of the Galt Museum & 

Archives. “Our volunteers and staff will be 

ready to assist recipients with their message 

from the past.” 

The public is advised that on-site parking is 

very limited, and it is recommended for those 

wishing to attend the crypt opening to park 

east of Scenic Drive South and walk to the 

site. More information on the 25 Year Time 

Capsule is available at www.lethbridge.ca.

Strange weather 

we’re having... 

I’ve lived in Lethbridge all of my life and 

as I’ve been saying on both my Lounge Radio 

show and Global News, this has been the 

strangest weather year I’ve ever seen. We’ve 

had cold, we’ve had fog-a lot of fog-(thought 

I had been transported to Vancouver for a 

couple of days) we’ve had wind and of course 

spring snow. Not to say that the weird never 

happens around here, its just been happening 

with regularity. Weird has become the norm. 

However last week’s spring storm could not 

compete with the defending champion of 

spring snow storms, 1967. That one was nasty. 

Last week depending on where you were, 

we had between 20 and 30 cm of snow. On 

April 28, 1967 we had 52.8 cm. 

That was just the beginning. By April 30 

there was 86 cm of snow on the ground. Revenue 

Canada even gave taxpayers an extension 

on the April 30th deadline to file their 

taxes. Now that’s a serious storm. 

Vulcan is getting very excited about the 

arrival of one Dr. Spock. Unless you’ve been 

hiding under a snowstorm for a year, you’ve 

heard that legendary actor Leonard Nimoy 

will make an official visit this Friday beginning 

about 2:30pm. Tourism coordinator 

of Vulcan Dayna Dickens has been working 

tirelessly and is absolutely thrilled this 

is really going to happen. She tells me she’s 

hoping the storms have all hit southern Alberta 

for the spring and everything will go 

smoothly. She adds that she’s getting a lot of 

interest from everywhere and wouldn’t be 

surprised if Access Hollywood covers the 

event. She hopes to have one brief moment 

with Nimoy so she can introduce herself as 

the woman who didn’t believe it was really 

Leonord Nimoy she was talking to on the 

phone when he personally called her to endorse 

the people of Vulcan getting to see a 

premiere of the latest Star Trek movie.

LETHBRIDGE JOURNAL - WEEK OF APRIL 22, 2010 - Page 7

April Showers Bring 

Aqua Dollars? 

According to recent statistics, if everyone 

on the planet used resources at the rate Canadians 

do, we would need five planet Earths to 

sustain us. If the people living in some of those 

other countries had to go through our winters, 

however, they just might not want to be sustained. 

We are a big, cold nation for at least eight 

months out of the year and it takes a lot of energy 

to keep our frozen extremities warm. If 

the United Nations had a drive-thru window 

where you could order a country to go and 

supersize it, Canada is what they would throw 

in your bag, along with A Don Cherry bobblehead 

doll for the kids. 

But are these just excuses? Maybe. It’s hard 

to cut back, but April 22 is Earth Day, a time to 

consider how much waste we produce. 

The first place to start is the amount of gas 

we burn. Is it really necessary to drive from the 

house to the mailbox at the end of the block? I 

have been guilty of this myself, usually on days 

when I’m watching TV on the couch and don’t 

feel like putting my shoes on. 

What about green transportation alternatives? 

A new poll has found that more people 

in the province would ride their bike to work if 

they didn’t fear for their safety on the streets. I 

wonder if these are the same people who think 

texting and driving are safe? I also wonder if 

this is just something people say when they’re 

asked the question. For some people, it doesn’t 

matter how safe cycling is, there is just no 

chance they are going to get the old ten speed 

down from the rafters of the garage and take it 

out for a spin while it’s all dusty and the tires 

are flat. 

Water is another area Canadians seem to 

take for granted. Have you ever looked out an 

airplane window at 30,000 feet? There are so 

many fresh water lakes it looks like a backyard 

dotted with puddles after a rain. But our supply 

is finite. The planet doesn’t make more water 

– it just keeps moving it around. We don’t 

have a lot of drinking water. The numbers are

fascinating – the Earth’s surface is 70 per cent 

covered by water, but only three per cent of that 

is fresh water and only 1 per cent is suitable for 

drinking. 

The experts say the Great Lakes’ water levels 

have come up a little bit, but overall they’re still 

quite low – low enough to cause problems for 

boaters, beach goers and the shipping industry. 

Boaters have been hitting the bottom, the 

shipping industry finds the water too shallow 

in some shipping lanes and beach goers find 

the hike from the parking lot to the edge of 

the water, which is now three miles away, just 

too much, especially while carrying a cooler, 

beach umbrella, sand toys, sunscreen, towels, a 

blanket, water wings, a full size blow up whale 

and other assorted items for a day at the beach. 

These are the same people who drive to get the 

mail, so you can see the hardship. 

An Ottawa think tank is calling on the Canadian 

government to come up with a comprehensive 

strategy for dealing with this country’s 

fresh water before U.S. demand for it starts to 

grow. The fact is that Canada has seven per 

cent of the world’s supply of fresh water, and by 

2015, it’s estimated that 24 per cent of American 

medium-sized cities and 17 per cent of its 

large-sized cities will suffer from serious water 

shortages. 

The problem is that water is covered under 

the NAFTA trading agreement. Basically, there 

are concerns that the U.S. and Mexico may 

come looking for our water, and under NAF- 

TA, we will have to sell it to them. There has 

already been a pact signed by the states and the 

provinces that surround the great lakes not to 

sell off all of the water. However, the Governor 

of Ohio has already been rumbling about selling 

the water from lake Erie, because it would 

be big money for the state. 

Drinking water sustains life, and it will soon 

become a commodity to be traded, like pork 

bellies, bananas and lumber. Futurists are predicting 

this will become the major world geopolitical 

issue in the not-too-distant future. 

Some believe that global warming will hit the 

U.S. south hard, turning it into the desert of the 

east, and causing states to want to build a pipeline 

from Canada so they can water their lawns 


and fill their pools. Paul Wittbey of water consultant 

GWEST LLC of Washington D.C. has 

estimated the cost of building a pipeline from 

Manitoba to Texas at $9 billion. It sounds a little 

crazy, but even at that cost, bulk water sales to 

the U.S. are already being hinted at by American 

politicians. 

Old is New Again 

Originally, people used cloth sacks to transport 

goods, and then paper bags came along. 

One little spill from a container or some condensation 

from the ice cream, and suddenly the 

bottom was falling out of it and the groceries 

were spilling all over the ground. So the switch 

was made to plastic, and they did a better job. 

However, in the quest for more profits, they 

kept finding ways to make plastic bags thinner 

and thinner. One nick in that stretched plastic, 

and your groceries were all over the ground 

again. 

Environmentalists started pushing the idea of 

using reusable bags for grocery shopping, and I 

couldn’t be happier. I can load my reusable bags 

up with as much weight as I can lift. Hauling 

groceries around has never been easier. I have 

large plastic bags filled with hundreds of smaller 

plastic bags jammed in a kitchen drawer. 

The plastic bag people say that we shouldn’t 

completely ditch their product, because they 

can be recycled and melted down to be turned 

into more plastic bags. In their original form, 

they use oil and other chemicals when they’re 

being made. My cloth bags don’t use much in 

their construction, and they’ll last so much longer. 

It’s actually kind of refreshing to move back 

to some older technologies to solve some of 

today’s current problems. Ridding society of 

plastic bags is just another step toward a better 

planet for the kids, who may grow up never 

knowing the pain of dropping a can of beans on 

their toes. That alone should be reason enough 

to make the move.

Spring cleaning 

JOURNAL 

Well, it’s that time of the year. Spring has 

sprung with two feet of snow here in Southern 

Alberta. However, soon everyone in our 

neck of the woods will have the chance to 

tidy things up after another winter – a time 

to do some spring-cleaning. In that spirit, it’s 

also an opportunity to clean out some of the 

sports detritus that has built up in my brain. 

• I really want to see a Chicago/ 

Washington Stanley Cup Final. What a treat 

it would be for hockey fans if the Blackhawks 

and Capitals were to meet up in June. Now 

that I have proposed this, there is a 0.004 per 

cent chance of it happening. Both teams have 

the same question marks – defence and goaltending 

– so this dream meeting (of mine) is 

fraught with peril. Still, seeing the two “most 

talented” NHL clubs go at it for a championship 

is infinitely more appealing than seeing, 

say, a New Jersey/Phoenix clash. 

• The Edmonton Oilers have won the 

NHL Draft Lottery, and will now pick first 

overall in Los Angeles in June. Unless Kevin 

Lowe somehow usurps Steve Tambellini’s 

power, one of two OHL superstars – Tyler 

Seguin or Taylor Hall – will be selected by 

the Oil. Either way, Edmonton should be 

adding a fine talent to its organization. After 

years and years of mostly fruitless drafting, 

the Oilers are on the verge of what they 

hope is a Blackhawks-like infusion of young, 

skilled skaters. Add this year’s top choice 

with other highly regarded prospects in the 

system, like Jordan Eberle and Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, 

and Oilers fans can look to 

the future with hope. 

• Unfortunately for Edmonton, Sheldon 

Souray is trying to rain on the parade. 

ke 

FOR WHAT IT’S 

WORTH 

M A R T Y B A C E D A 

The 33-year-old wants a trade out of the Capital. 

The defenceman had a horrible 2009- 

2010 campaign, with just four goals and nine 

assists in 37 games, along with a –19 rating. 

After previously missing 16 games recovering 

from a concussion, Souray’s season came 

to an end in February when he broke his 

hand in a fight against Calgary’s Jarome Iginla. 

The Elk Point native has claimed management 

pushed him to return sooner from 

injury than he was comfortable with when 

he first joined the team. Souray had shoulder 

surgery in his first season with the Oil. A 

trade would be good for both sides, but with 

Souray on the books for two more seasons at 

cap hit of $5.4 million per, that’s easier said 

than done. 

• This is no stretch, but I will be 

shocked if anybody but the Philadelphia

Phillies make the World Series out of the National 

League. The team added the best pitcher 

in baseball – Roy Halladay – from Toronto 

in the off-season. While Halladay bolsters 

the pitching staff, it’s the everyday line-up 

the Phils can put out there that may just be 

one of the best of all-time. There are perennial 

MVP candidates Chase Utley and Ryan 

Howard hitting third and fourth. Jimmy Rollins 

(although he’s on the disabled list at the 

moment), Placido Polanco, Jayson Werth, 

Raul Ibanez, Shane Victorino and Carlos 

Ruiz bolster the dynamic duo. I know it’s 

early, but through nine games Philadelphia 

was averaging 7.6 runs per contest. The record 

is about 6.8 runs per game put up by the 

Babe Ruth/Lou Gehrig led 1931 New York 

Yankees. Sure, it’s early, and a dodgy bullpen 

may put a damper on things, but the Phillies 

can rake. Add some weak pitching staffs in 

the N.L. East, the 2008 champs will pile up 

runs and are in good shape to add another 

pennant at Citizens Bank Park. 

• The NBA playoffs will provide basketball 

fans two-plus great months of drama. 

The way I see it, six or seven teams have a 

legitimate shot at winning the Larry O’Brien 

Trophy. In the east, it looks like a two-team 

race between Cleveland and Orlando. Perhaps 

Atlanta can join the mix, but (unfortunately) 

Boston’s window has closed. I liked 

Milwaukee – Fear the Deer! – except they 

lost starting centre Andrew Bogut to a season-ending 

arm injury. Look for the Bucks to 

contend in the next couple of years. I expect 

LeBron James and the Cavaliers to make it to 

the Finals, as the Magic have Vince Carter. 

Toronto fans know all too well how VC performs 

come crunch-time.

make an argument that every team has an 

opportunity to win its opening round series. 

The eighth seed is Oklahoma City, led 

by the league-scoring champ Kevin Durant. 

The Thunder draw the Los Angeles Lakers, 

and Kobe Bryant and the defending champs 

will have to be at their best to defeat a young 

and up-and-coming team. Dallas plays San 

Antonio, and while the Spurs look like the 

Celtics-west, Tim Duncan and company may 

have one more run in them. The third seed, 

Phoenix, plays Portland. The Trail Blazers are 

without leading scorer Brandon Roy. However, 

Rip City has had more than its share 

of injuries, yet overcame them to make the 

tournament. It just may be Steve Nash’s last 

true chance at a title, as the Suns appear to be 

on the verge of making some major changes 

in the summer (and he’s 36-years-old. No, for 

real!). The four versus five match-up features 

Denver and Utah, two of the association’s 

best home sides. It all adds up for a great first 

round. The west will be won by attrition, let’s 

say by Phoenix (going with the heart there). 

I think that leaves the Cavs in prime position, 

after an easier road out east. And really, 

doesn’t Cleveland deserve something to 

cheer about?

SKIN CANCER 

The most common of all cancers, skin cancer 

accounts for 1/3 of all new cancer cases in Canada. 

• Skin is the largest organ in your body. It protects your body 

from injury, infection, heat, pollution and damaging light from 

the sun. 

• Skin is comprised of two layers; the dermis and epidermis. 

Various factors may cause damage to these layers, allowing 

for skin cancers to develop. However, skin cancers are most 

often a result of overexposure to the sun or other harmful UV 

rays. 

• Most cases of skin cancer are preventable, simply by covering 

the skin or using sunscreen when in direct sunlight. 

• There are two major forms of skin cancer. Non-melanomas 

progress slowly and are treatable, while malignant melanomas 

are much more dangerous. 

• Moles, sores, growths or colour changes on the skin are 

usually harmless, but not always. It is important to examine 

your body’s surface once a month and be checked over by a 

physician once a year.

Simple ways to 

protect the planet 

(NC)—We all know it’s important to care for the environment, but sometimes it’s just not 

convenient to follow through. There are many ways to reduce your carbon footprint with 

minimal change to your lifestyle. Do the Earth a favour and challenge yourself to commit to 

one or more of these ideas: 

At home 

• Take shorter showers. 

• Turn off the water while you are brushing your teeth. 

• Unplug seldom used appliances. Plugged in appliances that are turned off still sap energy. 

At work 

• Bring your own coffee mug or water bottle. 

• Reuse misprints as scrap paper.

• Save files electronically instead of printing. 

• Turn off your computer at the end of the day. 

In transit 

• Carpool whenever possible to reduce the impact of your commute on the environment. 

Also consider walking, taking public transportation, or cycling. 

• If you drive, avoid idling for long periods of time. 

At the store 

• Keep reusable bags in the trunk of your car so you won’t have to purchase plastic at the 

grocery store. 

• Buy fair trade products whenever possible so that you can put more money into the 

hands of those who produced it, instead of the middlemen. 

• Consider buying environmentally-friendly cleaning products to reduce the amount of 

toxic chemicals that are released into the atmosphere. 

Around the world 

• Take action on environmental issues to help the developing world. Donate to an international 

children’s charity like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada and provide gardening 

tools or clean drinking water to communities suffering from extreme poverty. Select items 

from the gift catalogue at www.ccfcanada.ca.

JOURNAL 

(NC)—Germaphobes beware! Did you 

know that more bacteria and mold grow in 

vehicles than in houses? Or, that the typical 

car has 283 different types of bacteria present 

in every square inch? These stats are 

not meant to scare you away from driving, 

instead they’re offered to provide awareness 

of the best ways to protect yourself and 

your passengers from harmful contaminates. 

Below are tips from Honeywell Consumer 

Products Group, on the best ways to minimize 

in-vehicle irritants. 

Replace your Cabin Air Filter: Airborne 

contaminants, such as pollen, exhaust 

fumes, soot and dust enter a vehicle through 

its heating, air conditioning and defrosting 

systems. A cabin air filter is designed to help 

capture and remove some of these pollutants 

drivers healthy 

in order to help improve air quality throughout 

the vehicle. Today most vehicles come 

with a cabin air filter, but if it’s not changed 

regularly (at least once a year) the filter may 

become dirty and clogged, which makes it 

harder to keep air clean. Cabin air filters not 

only remove road dust and particles passing 

through it, but the Fram Fresh Breeze also 

contains Arm and Hammer baking soda in 

order to absorb odours passing through a vehicle’s 

ventilation system. 

“One of the easiest ways to ensure less invehicle 

pollutants is to install a quality cabin 

air filter,” said Megan Currie for Honeywell 

Consumer Products Group. “The Fram Fresh 

Breeze filter removes 98 percent of 5-100 micron 

pollen particles and road dust from the 

air passing through your filter.”

Washable Plastic Floor Mats: A vehicle’s 

floor mats are exposed to everything that 

the bottoms of our shoes touch. With a 

collective mix of snow, mud, dirt, dust and 

other outdoor debris, vacuuming doesn’t 

always do the trick. Washable plastic floor 

mats help protect your car from the build 

up of outdoor substances, while also keeping 

it looking new. This will also help preserve 

the vehicle’s carpet and minimize soil. 

Cleaning High Use Areas: Easy yet often 

overlooked is the habit of cleaning the areas 

in your vehicle that get touched the most. 

This would include cup holders, door handles, 

radio knobs and the steering wheel. 

Taking five minutes to wipe down these 

areas with an antibacterial wipe could save 

you a sick day in the long run.

In Summary: 

The Dodge Avenger shares a platform with the Sebring, and its aggressive looks are befitting 

of the nameplate. From a visual standpoint, there’s actually quite a lot to like, with 

the front being similar looking to the Charger. The same goes for the flanks; blocky, and 

the kick up around the rear doors and sloping roof line are nice touches and make the car 

stand out.

In Summary: 

The Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart’s rear seats are comfortable and spacious, and they conveniently 

fold flat via release handles in the trunk area. But the most impressive is the 

good balance of ride comfort and handling. Corners are attacked with a tangibly stronger 

connection through the wheel and more confidence in the grip. Mitsubishi has found the 

better suspension compromise for sport-minded drivers.

JOURNAL 

By Jeff Wiebe 


When it comes to dancing, Darryl Hodgins means business. 

Hodgins is the creator of Dance Power, a competition that 

has given young dancers across western Canada a chance to 

strut their stuff for almost 20 years. Dance Power recently 

visited Lethbridge, and groups came from as far as Edmonton, 

Calgary, Brooks, Fernie and Medicine Hat to compete. 

Dance Power got its start in 1992 when Hodgins, a graduate 

of the University of Alberta with degrees in both Arts and 

Commerce, decided to marry his two passions. He and two 

partners formed Dance Power Enterprises, and the journey 

began. 

“It was a natural progression to the competition business, 

as it combines my two passions, which are dance and 

business,” explains Hodgins, who has been immersed in the 

dance industry since age five and has trained in many disciplines, 

including tap, jazz, ballet, musical theatre, Ukrainian, 

drama and voice. 

Dance Power visits cities across Alberta and B.C. and gives 

aspiring dancers a fun but professional way to demonstrate 

their skills. Dance troupes are grouped according to age, discipline, 

and years of training, and are judged by a panel of 

three experts. All genres of dance are represented, are there 

are valuable prizes up for grabs – Dance Power gives out 

more than $5,000 at each event it holds, in addition to dance 

camp scholarships and choreography awards for teachers. 

“We have been told many times that our events are relaxed, 

friendly and fun. Every season, we survey our audience 

members, clients and dancers for ways that we can improve 

and change and we take these comments seriously and have 

made changes each season as a result of these suggestions,” 

says Hodgins. 

“Even though we have been in business 18 years, we look at 

each year as an opportunity for us to learn, grow and change. 

We are firm believers in continuous improvement.” 

The nature of a touring competition means Hodgins and 

his staff are away from home for long periods of time, which 

makes it all the more vital that everyone involved is passionate 

about the work. 

“Our entire team loves what we do. It is not an easy business 

– we travel for three months each year, so we are away 

“Phenias” from Congo 


Madison Hucal and Karlee 

Gargus of the Hyperflex 

Studio at Dance Power 

from our families for extended periods of time and work very 

long hours,” says Hodgins. 

And as reality shows like Dancing With The Stars and So 

You Think You Can Dance have risen in popularity, so too has 

Hodgins seen dancing’s profile increase across the country. 

“I definitely feel that the dance-reality shows have increased 

the exposure and appeal of the dance industry in general. 

Even five years ago, it would have been difficult to sell out a 

500-seat theatre for a dance company, and now So You Think 

You Can Dance Canada top 10 dancers tour to large capacity 

arenas across Canada,” he says. 

“The dance industry in Canada has always been quite large 

and successful, but very few outside of the dance world knew 

about us. The difference in the last few years is that people 

now see and realize how incredibly talented Canadian dancers 

are.”

JOURNAL 

Over the past number of weeks, we have 

been considering six habits of highly effective 

bosses based on the insights of Stephen 

E. Kohn and Vincent D. O’Connell. The authors 

contend that each of these habits form 

building blocks of a pyramid and when managers 

incorporate these essentials into their 

leadership tool kit, they will meet with success. 

To date we have noted that highly effective 

bosses: 

• Are self-aware. They know their 

strengths and weaknesses. They recognize 

personal blind spots and govern emotions. 

• Practice empathy. They listen intently 

– not to respond but to understand. 

They genuinely desire to understand the 

unique temperament, background, and situation 

of each person for whom they are responsible. 

• Apply the Golden Rule in all interactions. 

They assess their responses and decisions 

by considering how they would want 

others to act in matters affecting them. They 

treat people fairly. 

• Are relationally oriented, yet establish 

and maintain professional boundaries so 

as not to undermine their leadership and authority. 

• Correct artfully. They provide feedback 

without causing unnecessary injury. 

The sixth habit of highly effective bosses 

is the capstone of the management pyramid. 

Effective bosses know the unique temperament 

of each employee and are able to flex 

their leadership style accordingly. 

Less effective bosses often display qualities 

of Procrustes, a villain in Greek mythology. 

Procrustes, a son of Poseidon, had an iron 

bed in which he invited every passer-by to 

spend the night. If the guest proved too tall 

for the bed, Procrustes would amputate the 

excess length to make the person fit; if the 

subject was too short, he would stretch the 

WAY FOR BUSINESS 

hapless traveler. According to the myth, nobody 

ever fit the bed exactly so Procrustes 

always had plenty of work to do. 

The application to relationships is not difficult. 

Something within each one of us demands 

conformity – more often than not, 

we try to make others like ourselves. When 

a child misbehaves or fails to meet parental 

expectations, parents often ask, “Why can’t 

you be like __________?” The obvious answer 

is that the child is not ___________ 

and therefore should not be expected to be 

like __________. Whenever we try to make 

someone fit into a “norm” of our own making 

we prove that there is something of Procrustes 

in each one of us. 

Effective bosses are able to adapt their 

leadership style and even their expectations 

to individuals. Each person is unique – in 

temperament, giftedness, and motivation. 

Students of psychology are familiar with 

Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. According 

to Kohn and O’Connell, the motivation 

of people on the job may vary based 

on where they are in the hierarchy. People 

just starting out may be primarily concerned 

about feeling safe; emotionally and physically. 

Once these basic needs are met people may 

move to the next level; social needs. Once social 

needs are met, people may be more concerned 

about personal satisfaction and professional 

advancement. People at this level 

seek work that builds self-confidence, fosters 

independence, and/or helps gain status and 

recognition. The final level that a small number 

may seek to achieve from their work is 

self-actualization and self-fulfillment. 

An understanding of these needs may 

prove insightful in understanding why employees 

act, think, or feel as they do. 

Managers should also recognize the various 

temperaments of their subordinates.

Task-oriented team members are fundamentally 

concerned about getting things done. 

They will tend to avoid or even resist unnecessary 

meetings, or any process that impedes 

speedy accomplishment of tasks. Process-oriented 

individuals are concerned that 

things are done correctly. In their worldview, 

quality trumps speed. A third group of individuals 

are concerned about relationships. 

They value input from others, and desire social 

bonding with others. A fourth group is 

mostly concerned with being recognized or 

appreciated by others. 

Highly effective leaders know their own 

temperament and the temperament of each 

individual on their team, and are therefore 

able to adjust their leadership style to fit the 

individual and the situation. While a cookie 

cutter approach to leadership may seem easiest 

and most efficient, wise leaders recognize 

that it is far better to flex with each person’s 

uniqueness than to force everyone into the 

same mould.

JOURNAL CAREERS 

By Lisa Doerksen 


It makes perfect sense that Emma Goerzen 

has a staff she adores - her specialty is 

recruiting the right person for any position. 

As client services CEO of Hire Standard 

Inc., Goerzen is able to use her peoplematching 

skills to the advantage of both her 

clients and herself. 

“I love my team,” says the founder of the 

recruiting firm. “They are the most professional 

ladies. We work hard and we have 

fun.” 

Goerzen says her staff of four makes 

her business - recruiting and background 

screening for employers looking to fill positions 

- that much more successful. 

“You’re only as good as the people that 

work for you,” she notes. “I like to hire talents 

I don’t have, and (my staff) is build of 

all different talents. We come together, in my 

mind, as a powerhouse.” 

Goerzen keeps that attitude towards staff 

in mind when matching potential recruits to 

“You can 

train skills 

but you can’t 

change 

personalities.” 

her clients. 

“Our expertise is in getting to know our 

clients,” she says. “Once we get to know 

them, we can fill any position.” 

Goerzen takes time to learn a client’s values, 

aspirations and expectations before 

matching any potential employees. 

“Certain people fit in certain places, certain 

people don’t,” she says. “You can train 

skills but you can’t change personalities.” 

Goerzen started her company four years 

ago as a background screening firm - doing 

everything from checking references, verify- 

Higher Standards 

ing education and researching credit summaries 

and criminal record checks for employers 

looking at potential employees. 

Business ownership was a dream of Goerzens, 

but she didn’t pursue it right away. 

“I always wanted to do my own business, 

for at least 20 years,” she says. “But the thing 

that stops us is fear. Then I had a life-changing 

moment and the fear left me.” 


Emma Goerzen of Hire Standard 

After seven years spent working for another 

screening firm, Goerzen was confident 

she could provide exceptional services in the 

same capacity. 

“I loved what I did and I knew I was good 

at it.” 

She also thanks her four mentors for their 

support and wisdom as she embarked on the 

journey. 

“They told me what I needed to hear,” she 

says. 

When the screening business took off, Goerzen 

decided to branch into recruiting as 

well, and says the two sides of the business 

work well together. Clients automatically get 

the benefit of the employee screening services 

when they use Hire Standard Inc. to recruit, 

or the background screening service is 

available separately. 

Goerzen says the service provides peace of 

mind for her clients when they bring in a new 

employee. 

“It’s very cost-effective,” she says. “It helps 

(clients) make a confident hiring decision. 

“Lots of employees do referencing, but 

they don’t do it like we do it.” 

The business also keeps Goerzen on her 

toes - which she loves. 

“I love that every day is different,” she says. 

“I love that every client is different and requires 

different things and I love all the applicants 

I meet and all their stories.” 

Above all, she loves finding the perfect person 

for a position. 

“I love it when we’re able to find just the 

right fit for the applicant and the employer.” 

Goerzen says the business has grown faster 

than she imagined, and she envisions continued 

expansion in the future. 

For that - and the experience of owning her 

own business - Goerzen is thankful. 

“I’m a workaholic and (owning the business) 

gives me the freedom to take time off,” 

she says. “I can give myself permission to do 

things I wold never have done working for 

someone else. 

“This also lets me build a business based on 

my values, and that’s very important to me.”

a n d s a v i n g s p r o g r a m s 

(NC)—Business owners seeking to hire 

the best and brightest employees compete 

to offer great work environments, opportunities 

and benefits. But some small business 

owners in Canada who would like to offer 

pension and retirement savings plans to their 

employees are challenged by the complexity 

and costs of running such a program. 

Already more than 50 per cent of Canadians 

working in the private sector have some 

sort of group retirement savings or investing 

program. Increasing opportunities for the 

balance requires some changes to Canada’s 

retirement savings system, according to the 

Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association. 

“Business owners and operators recognize 

the enormous value of helping their employees 

save for their retirements, but many – particularly 

small business -- are handcuffed by 

tax and administrative regulations that make 

running a program more expensive and time 

consuming,” says Frank Swedlove, president 

of the Canadians Life and Health Insurance 

Association Inc. “We need to make regulatory 

changes so that company pension plans 

become less complex and costly to operate. 

And we need to allow employers to band 

together in multi-employer plans that pool 

contributions and achieve efficiencies in cost 

and operations.” 

Changing the law that requires that group 

pension programs only be offered by a single 

employer to its employees is one way to help 

employers. Doing so would allow for the creation 

of multi-employer pension plans where 

contributions are pooled and the administrative 

burden to each individual employer is 

reduced. Allowing for the creation of such 

multi-employer pensions plans would also 

let the self-employed participate in a pension 

program. 

Employers recognize that providing a 

good company pension or group retirement 

saving program helps retain existing employees. 

Often they can improve the firms’ business 

reputation and help attract capable new 

employees. And, most importantly, they help 

give employees peace of mind. 

Initiatives are underway to review Canada’s 

retirement savings programs. Capitalizing on 

many employers’ desire to help employees 

save, plus the efficiency of group programs, 

will play a big role in ensuring a successful 

system for future generations.

By Bill Axtell 

For The Lethbridge Journal 

“Teenagers are fantastic, that’s all there 

is to that; they’re full of enthusiasm, excitement 

and creative thinking!” according to 

Paige McGeorge, a librarian with Youth and 

Adult Services of the Lethbridge Public Library. 

Paige, who coordinates a special program 

called the Teen Advisory Group (TAG), 

meets with a group of volunteer teenagers 

once a month to plan the teen programs provided 

by the Library for the coming month 

or two. 

“We strive to treat teenagers with the same 

respect and consideration as our adult patrons,” 

Paige explained, adding that “these 

young adults, ages 13 to 17 years, have access 

to the same materials and services as adults.” 

The events these teens plan are open to any 

teenagers in the Lethbridge area who want to 

come. The routinely send e-mails to schools, 

to teens themselves, also posting the events 

on the Library’s web site. 

At the April meeting of the TAG team, 

some 8 teens put forward their best ideas for 

events they could hold in May, July and August 

to come. The ideas included such “grabbers” 

as Hide ‘N Seek, Anime, board games, 

tag, water gun fights, paintball wars, various 

movies and an event they call “gross food”. 

The “gross food”, Paige explained, “is an extreme 

food tasting challenge, consisting of 

spicy foods, unusual foods and unexpected 

ingredients thrown into a blender for sampling 

by the bravest and most courageous 

teens,” she said. 

The teens come from area schools as well 

as from home schooling programs. “One recent 

month we played Rock Band and Guitar 

Hero on our giant movie screen,” Paige remembered. 

“It drew lots of interest and lots 

of teens came.” 

The teens themselves observed that anything 

they do outdoors brings more people, 

noting that 30 to 40 or more show up for a 

video games day. 

“Especially popular are the Library’s two 

Wii games and Playstation 2. 

“Every program night has a theme that 

dictates what we do,” Paige continued. “But 

sometimes we do random activities mixed 

with the themed programs.” 

Two of the teens in the Advisory Group, 

Josh and Stuart, both of whom have been 

coming for over 4 years, prefer board games 

and movies. Kelsey likes watching movie 

trailers where people guess the name of the 

movie for candy rewards. James, Dax, Daylan 

and Liberty, who have attended the group 

for various time lengths ranging from two 

meeting to up to a year and a half, all seemed 

to equally enjoy the activities and events they 

have helped to plan. 

“We recognize that teenagers are not 

adults, and have the right to programs and 

materials that reflect and are relevant to their 

own lives, such as: 

*Teen programs for a range of ages and interests; 

*The YA fiction and nonfiction collections 

–books selected specifically for youth ages 

thirteen to seventeen; 

*The YSpace, an area that holds our YA 

materials and is a meeting place for youth to 

work on projects and to socialize with each 

other; 

*A YA Audiobook and Playaway collection, 

as well as downloadable YA Audiobooks 

and ebooks; and, 

*The Teen Advisory Group.” 

Paige said that “one of the most important 

rules of the library programming and activities 

for teens is let the teens take ownership 

and be involved in the planning process,” 

noting that “the most important rule is to 

bring food!” 

That’s why the TAG volunteers are significant 

in the on-going teen programs provided 

by the Library. 

Jeff McLarty, the Library’s Community 

Support Facilitator, in considering the numerous 

programs for children, commented 

that “persons willing to support the Library 


It gets ‘crazy’ when teens plan 

their own Library Programs! 


Jeff McLarty, 

the Lethbridge Public Library’s 

Community Support Facilitator 

The TAG discusses ideas for upcoming events. 


through its Branching Out Program to fill up 

the new Crossings Branch in West Lethbridge 

are giving their financial contributions to a 

Lethbridge program with one of the broadest 

reaches into all levels of local society.” He 

said, “When you help us, you are potentially 

helping everyone.” 

In a joint fund-raising project with the 

Kinsmen Club of Lethbridge, the Library is 

selling keys which could unlock a special safe 

at the Library with winnings inside it of $500 

for each of the 10 winning keys one of which 

will win the grand prize of $10,000 cash. Keys 

sell for $15 for one key or $20 for two keys. 

Keys are available for purchase at the Library’s 

main Customer Service Desk. 

In addition to purchasing keys, those willing 

to help support the Library’s goal of some 

$969,000 to fill up the new library in West 

Lethbridge may donate by contacting Jeff 

McLarty at 403-320-3026 or by donating online 

at www.librarybranchingout.ca.

Extendicare for his wit and humour. He made each day

face or making someone laugh. 

“Mike Stroud could wrestle a bear, weld a bumper on a 

semi, drink a keg of beer and eat a half of a cow, then

was the salt of the earth and he will be missed. Heaven 

just got a whole lot more fun, but life here just won’t be 

the same“.
