COVER STORY 

By Jeff Wiebe 

For the Lethbridge Journal 

Mammoth Cave Festival 

Lethbridge will soon play host to a mammoth-sized 

day of music. 

The second annual Mammoth Cave Festival 

is set for May 2 at Henotic Restaurant, 

and Paul Lawton, event organizer, says music 

fans of all stripes are in for something special. 

“This festival is all over the map, which I 

think is one of the main appeals,” says Lawton. 

“You’ll hear people say they’ve never heard 

of most of these bands, but I think that’s 

the joy of discovery in this. I do truly think 

there’s something for everybody over the 

course of the day.” 

From noon to midnight, 30 different 

groups from across Canada will show Lethbridge 

what they’ve got. There will be two 

stages – one on each level of Henotic – and 

each band gets a short set of about 20 minutes, 

so if fans don’t like what they’re hearing, 

they can check out the other stage or just 

wait a few minutes for the next band. 

“There’s going to be a continuous flow of 

music, so if you see a band that doesn’t appeal 

to you, you can go to the other area and 

wait for the next band,” says Lawton. 

Everything from folk to rock to synth pop 

to punk, and several styles in between, will 

be on display. And more than half the bands 

featured are local – Lawton co-owns Mammoth 

Cave Recordings, a local record label, 

and says one of the reasons he started the 

event was to give homegrown talent some 

extra exposure. 

“Part of this festival is exposing Lethbridge 

residents to what we consider the best and 

brightest of the new wave of Canadian underground 

music. At the same time, I was really 

conscious of making this a local music 

festival, and I tried my hardest to include as 

many different musicians from as many different 

styles as exist in town,” he explains. 

“It’s offering the genuine process of music 

discovery, which I don’t think there’s a lot of 

options for anymore. Most local radio stations 

play the same things you’ve heard for 

years, and Muchmusic doesn’t play music 

videos anymore, so a lot of people feel stuck 

“Zenabou” $35/Month 

in not being able to discover what’s actually 

happening in Canada right now.” 

Lawton has worked with counterparts 

in Calgary and Edmonton who are hosting 

similar events in those cities featuring many 

of the same bands. This gives the groups a 

chance to earn some ream money with a few 

large gigs. 

“When we coordinate them in this way, we 

can guarantee the bands who are doing all 

three days a little more money, rather than

Turntables will be spinning as well at 

Mammoth Music Fest 

having them come out to Alberta for just one 

of them. It was kind of mutually beneficial for 

all of us.” 

And when it came to choosing which bands 

to feature, Lawton didn’t have much trouble. 

“We were really conscious of finding bands 

from across Canada that are still relatively 

underground but are on their way to the 

mainstream, rising in popularity,” he says. 

“So we made a big list of bands that we 

would be interested in exposing to a bigger

Alberta audience and went from there. It was 

actually fairly simple.” 

All in all, Lawton says it’s a great time for 

new bands in Canada and Lethbridge, and he 

should know, having been a part of the local 

music scene since 1994. 

“Right now, I think it’s as hot as it’s ever 

been. It’s pretty exciting.” 

The Mammoth Cave Festival is a chance 

to get caught up with what’s going on locally, 

and Lawton says it’s tough to find a better 

value. 

“It’s a crazy good deal for the number of 

local and other bands you’re going to be able 

to see.” 

Only 200 tickets are being sold for the 

event – the first 100 sold will cost $15 each, 

and when those are gone, the next 100 will 

cost $25 each. Tickets are available at Henotic, 

Blueprint Records, and at Mammoth 

Cave’s website, http://mammothcave.bigcartel.com/

Area farmers hope for higher 

grain prices and spring rain 

LETHBRIDGE, AB - As farmers in the 

Lethbridge area and across the province get 

ready to seed their crops, parched fields and 

slumping grain prices are among the biggest 

risk factors on many producers’ minds, says 

provincial crop analyst Charlie Pearson. 

“I’m hearing a lot of concern from farmers 

on both of those issues,” says Pearson, 

who works with Alberta Agriculture and 

Rural Development, and speaks with producers 

across the province. “Many areas are 

starting off with low soil moisture levels, so 

everyone’s hoping for plenty of spring rain 

to turn things around and get crops off to a 

good start.” 

On the price side, many producers are 

feeling anxious because crop prices have 

dropped substantially in the last two years, 

says Pearson. No one anticipated wheat, 

canola and barley prices would plunge 20 to 

40 per cent between spring and fall last year, 

he says. So far this year, prices remain down. 

Wheat is in the $4-to-$5/bu range compared 

to $5.50-to-$7/bu at this time last year. 

Canola has slipped to $8-to-$9/bu compared 

to $9-to-$10/bu last spring. 

“We no longer have the high prices we 

saw in 2007 and 2008. But if you look at 

long-term averages on grain prices, we’re 

slightly above average,” he points out. However, 

while the price of inputs like fertilizer 

and fuel have also dropped, some input costs 

have increased, putting a squeeze on budgets 

that could make it challenging to pencil out 

much of a profit this year, says Pearson. 

With margins so tight, he’s hopeful prices 

won’t slide further. “My best guess is prices 

will remain relatively stable at the levels we’re 

seeing now. But we have no way of knowing 

if markets have bottomed out yet.” He’s most 

optimistic about canola because demand for 

vegetable oils remains strong. But Pearson 

says there are a number of factors that could 

spur prices on all crops in either direction. 

Prices could easily climb higher if severe 

weather negatively impacts crops in a major 

producing region of the world, says Pearson. 

“On the other hand, perfect weather worldwide 

and two-to-three inches of spring rain 

in Alberta with reasonable rain through the 

summer could result in bumper crops that 

drive up world grain supplies and drive prices 

lower.” Pearson says favourable weather 

and abundant world crops were partly to 

blame for prices dropping last fall. He adds 

the strong Canadian dollar could send prices 

downward if the loonie continues to rise 

this summer. 

With so much uncertainty around prices 

and weather, Pearson says it’s a good idea 

for farmers to look at options such as crop 

insurance and locking in some prices now 

in case they dip lower by the fall. He advises 

producers to consider tools such as forward 

delivery contracts with grain companies, 

which guarantee prices for grain delivered 

this fall; or the Spring Price Endorsement 

(SPE) rider on crop insurance, which protects 

farmers if prices decline 10-to-50 per 

cent between spring and fall. Pearson notes 

the deadline to apply for crop insurance in 

Alberta is April 30. 

SPE paid out $80.5 million following the 

price drop in 2009 – the highest payout in 

10 years, says Lorelei Hulston, Provincial 

Insurance Manager for Agriculture Financial 

Services Corporation (AFSC), the provincial 

Crown Corporation that administers 

crop insurance in Alberta on behalf of the 

provincial and federal governments.

Mayor Tarleck invited to write 

article for forum in China 

LETHBRIDGE, AB - Mayor Robert Tarleck 

has been invited to participate in a preevent 

to the 2010 Global Mayors Forum to be 

held in China in November of 2010. 

At this point in time, ten Canadian and 

American cities are on track to submit an 

article for the “Dialogue to Global Mayors” 

project. This project will help to circulate 

opinions and experiences about urban sustainability 

and is intended to spur interest, 

thought and discussion prior to the 1000 

international guests arriving for the Global 

Mayors Forum. 

In order to meet the goal of discussing current 

urban development issues in a manner 

that encourages sustainable development, 

Mayor Tarleck has chosen to write his article 

on Lethbridge’s public engagement process 

in building an Integrated Community Sustainability 

Plan – the most ambitious community 

consultation process in the history of 

Lethbridge. City of Lethbridge Senior Planner, 

Rob McKay, co-authored the article. 

International articles, such as the one Mayor 

Tarleck has written, will be published in 

the Ta Kung Pao, a hundred year old newspaper 

in Hong Kong boasting of more than 

500,000 readers. Organizers believe these 

articles will provide valuable information 

which can be referred to by the participants 

well past the actual time of the Global Forum.

C O M M E N T 

I couldn’t believe how 

fast I was going! 

Three decades and two hips ago I would 

regularly run the annual 10-mile road race. 

It was a daunting task for a guy with short 

stubby legs and the body of a pug. When I’d 

jog throughout the year my maximum distance 

was three miles and I’d probably get 

out three times a week. It’s always good to 

have a running partner. Greg Rohovie and 

I would keep each other motivated on those 

days when you’d rather go for a beer. Most of 

the time we’d convince each other that running 

that day was a good thing. Sometimes 

the beer won. 

When we did make it to the jogging path 

it was always around Henderson Lake. We’d 

start in the first parking lot on North Parkside 

Drive, make our way to Mayor Magrath 

Drive then to South Parkside Drive. That 

stretch along South Parkside Drive to the 

Exhibition seemed like the longest part of 

the run so we had a name for it. We called it 

“The...” (rhymes with itch). 

We’d finish the “rhymes with itch” portion 

then continue on past the Exhibition back to 

North Parkside Drive. We called that leg of 

the run the Champs-Elysees because we envisioned 

ourselves as soldiers during WWII 

who had just liberated France and there were 

beautiful women waiting for us at the end 

of the Avenue to thank us for our sacrifice. 

I know, it’s pathetic but it helped us to complete 

the run. 

That was pretty much the extent of my 

training for the ultimate challenge: The Ten 

Mile Road Race. The race has evolved since 

its inception but for the first many years 

you’d start at the Lethbridge College, make 

your way through Indian Battle Park, cross 

the Highway Three Bridge, go up the hill 

past the Par Three Golf Course then along 

University Drive to the University where it 

all ended. 

The first year I did the run, my goal was

simply to run the whole way. I didn’t want 

to stop at any point of the race. The starting 

line was really intimidating for me. There 

were a lot of people wearing fancy shorts 

and stretching in a fancy way. They had obviously 

done this sort of thing before. There 

was even a guy who had a pair of sunglasses

with mirrors so he could keep track of who 

was running behind him. I knew he wasn’t 

going to have to worry about me. There were 

about 500 people all jammed together as the 

starting marshal fired his gun. The adrenalin 

kicked in. I couldn’t believe how fast I was 

going. The first 500 yards I was feeling good. 

The fast runners were in front where they 

should be and there I was in the middle of 

the pack jockeying for position with a few 

others. I was even staying ahead of some 

people with the fancy shorts. I started to get 

into a groove. I wasn’t overdoing it. I was 

maintaining a good pace. No one was passing 

me. I thought, “Hey, this is going to be 

all right”. We ran along Scenic Drive, took 

the old sewer road down to Indian Battle 

Park (even passed a few more fancy-shorts 

people), made it through Indian Battle Park, 

crossed over the Highway Three Bridge. I 

was still feeling pretty good and then....THE 

HILL. The Par 3 Hill as we called it or what is 

Bridge Drive is one mile long and constantly 

goes up. When you’re running it, it seems 

like it never ends. 

You make it to a curve where you think 

it’s over only to find another curve. I died 

on that hill that day. I particularly remember 

getting about half way up when a 250 pound

guy who had no business jogging caught up 

to me, slapped me on the butt and said “Keep 

at ‘er!” and proceeded to run miles ahead of 

me. I cramped up, I couldn’t breath and I 

had to stop. I wouldn’t make my goal. There 

would be no French girls waiting for me at 

the end of the Champs-Elysees. And the 

chaffing. Why didn’t anyone warn me about 

the chaffing!! 

I made it to the top of the hill and to my 

immense discouragement I realized there was 

still another four miles to go. It was the longest 

four miles of my life. More people were 

passing me (including fancy-shorts people) 

but I finally made it to the University where 

mercifully I crossed the finish line. I hadn’t 

liberated France, but perhaps I gave some 

kind of special assistance to Lichtenstein. 

The race was and still is a great event and 

I’m so glad organizers have kept it going for 

37 years. I can’t really explain why a guy like 

me with short stubby legs would put himself 

through that kind of torture eight more 

times. But each time I did it there was a new 

experience. And I got a great t-shirt too. 

I was able to make it all the way up the hill 

after that first time but man, I could never get 

over that chaffing.

BUZZ 

AROUND TOWN 

B U Z Z M C E G A N 

C O M M E N T 


The city of the future just 

might be Wal-Mart 

Anyone who has ever ventured out on 

a Saturday afternoon on the streets of Lethbridge 

has probably at one time or another 

been stuck in the middle of the intersection 

as the light turns from green to red. It’s embarrassing 

as you get menacing glances from 

the other drivers, and for someone who is 

not a lip reader, it’s very easy for me to imagine 

the words that are being mouthed. 

This happened to me recently, when I was 

heading southbound on Mayor Magrath and 

Scenic Drive. Congested parking lot traffic 

in Lethbridge! What could possibly be happening? 

As it turned out, everyone on that 

Saturday was going in the same direction as 

I was, to that consumer Mecca on the southside: 

Wal-Mart. 

I don’t always spend my Saturday afternoons 

shopping, but on this occasion I 

needed to pick-up several items of different 

descriptions, and what better place than the 

one-stop-it’s-got-all, Wal-Mart? 

It really is a phenomenon. Wal-Mart is 

the Disneyland for consumers. The premise 

is simple enough: load a gigantic store with 

every conceivable product under the sun and 

watch people flock from all corners of city. 

It’s a good thing there are now two locations 

to take the pressure off the Southside. 

What has worked so well for them is realizing 

that the one determining factor many 

people use to decide to buy something is 

price, and the notion that they are getting a 

great deal. Wal-Mart has been able to do that, 

whether it’s true or not. There has been lots 

of controversy over the years, whether it’s 

Wal-Mart hurting or chasing out the mom 

and pop operations or stocking shelves with 

merchandise that may or may not have been 

assembled by children in some third world 

country. 

However, despite the controversies, Wal- 

Mart has continued to thrive and prosper. 

Shoppers continue to come in droves to find 

deals. My trip there on that Saturday was 

fairly routine – I had a few items on a list 

and Wal-Mart was the one-stop destination 

No time to clean? No Problem!

where I could pick them up all at once. That 

would be one way that they are environmentally 

friendly: I didn’t have to run errands to 

five different stores, using up gas. 

The problem with having everything under 

one roof, though, is that I ended up buy- 

ing four or five other things I didn’t even 

think I needed, and probably didn’t. That 

may be the trick to their success. 

I asked a friend of mine why she shops so 

much and her response sounded eerily like 

someone who has experienced a degree of 

mind control. She said it was because the TV 

tells her she needs to buy more stuff. Advertisers 

knows this game all too well. They use 

status to get you to buy more than you can 

afford in an attempt to appeal to your desire 

to be like someone else – someone with more 

money, power, or social status. 

Peer approval is another approach to make 

you feel like you’ll fit in with others if you just 

buy a certain product – I’ve found it’s usually 

my personality that gets me rejected. 

The psychological mind twisting is almost 

endless. Some don’t like the mass consumerism 

of Wal-Mart because it’s a big American 

outfit trampling all over our Canadian identity. 

I’m quite proud of the way Canadian 

Tire and Zellers have continued to fight back 

and succeed. 

We still shop at those other stores, but 

more often than not, Wal-Mart gets a good 

chunk of our business because of the perceived 

view that we are getting the best deal 

on the biggest selection. The Wal-Mart supercentres 

might actually have everything 

known to humankind, but no one can know 

for sure, seeing as no one has the physical 

capacity to actually walk up and down every 

aisle of one of those mega stores. That’s got 

to be a good day and a half hike. You’d have 

to pack a lunch and hire a Sherpa guide and 

a yak to make it from sporting goods all the 

way over to cosmetics in the same day successfully. 

Or if you plan your excursion just 

right, you can stop at the built-in McDonald’s 

for a meal. 

Slowly but surely, controversies aside, Wal- 

Mart is becoming just a normal part of the 

Canadian experience. We’ve all been in one. 

Actually, I think the long term plan at the 

head office is to have us all just move in. Developers 

could build condos next door with 

climate-controlled hallways into Wal-Mart 

and offices at the other end, and you may be 

able to live there for weeks without ever leaving.

10 Game 

Passes 

Alls wells? 

JOURNAL 

It’s a day that has lived in infamy in Toronto 

Blue Jays history: December 15th, 

2006. That day the American League ball 

club inked Vernon Wells to a seven-year, 

$126 million dollar contract extension. 

The centrefielder was coming off a career 

season in ‘06, where he clubbed 32 home 

runs, added 106 runs batted in, and hit an 

even .300. 

At the time, the Jays were wary of losing 

the All-Star to another team, and with 

salaries skyrocketing in the Majors, it was 

thought that Toronto needed to flash some 

major cash to keep Wells. 

So, Toronto anted-up and brought the 

Brinks trucks. At the time, it was the sixth 

richest contract in MLB history. Now, just 

over three years later, it is still the 12th most 

lucrative deal. 

Unfortunately for the Jays and their fans, 

Wells has never even come close to living up 

to the pact. Over the past three seasons, the 

Shreveport, Louisiana native has averaged 

just a .265 batting average, 17 home runs and 

75 RBI per campaign. 

The contract is an albatross for the organization, 

which would have a better chance of 

trading Ace, the Blue Jays mascot, than moving 

Wells. The deal is costing Toronto about 

$16 million this season, then jumps to a base 

of $23 million next, with the final 3 years 

costing a base of $21 million per. 

Staggering for a team that has a payroll 

of about $80 million this season (although 

paying first baseman Lyle Overbay nearly $8 

ke 

FOR WHAT IT’S 

WORTH 

M A R T Y B A C E D A 

million in 2010 is nearly as reprehensible – at 

least his contract ends this fall). 

All in all, it’s pretty easy to hate on Wells. 

Without a doubt, he has been a punch line in 

this very column on a few occasions. 

However, I sincerely hope he regains his 

All-Star form. Let’s face it: whether you are a 

Blue Jays fan or not, if the team is successful, 

it sure makes the Major League season much 

more interesting here in the Great White 

North. 

One series into the new season, the 

31-year-old was brilliant, and perhaps it is a 

sign of things to come. Wells went on a tear 

against the Texas Rangers (he makes his offseason 

home in Arlington, so perhaps it was 

the home cooking) totaling six hits in 10 at 

Umpire clinic 

Lethbridge Southwest Little League will 

be holding an introductory Umpire Clinic 

on Wednesday, Apr. 14 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. 

at Canola Harvest Field. This clinic is recommended 

for all umpires interested in working 

games for Southwest Little League this season. 

It will be conducted by Little LeagueAlberta. 

The clinic is free and will cover the 

basics of umpiring, providing prospective 

umpires with a solid foundation of umpiring 

Available $380 

bats, smacking four home runs and seven RBI. 

Now, I’m pretty sure Wells isn’t going to 

ring up 200 homers and 300 runs batted in, 

but it’s a series to build on. 

Toronto young guns Adam Lind and Aaron 

Hill are both coming off career seasons. 

Now, the league should be hip to what they 

can do, so they will need some protection in 

the line-up. A slugging Wells can do just that. 

Surely, Wells is not among the likes of Albert 

Pujols or Joe Mauer at the plate. However, 

if he can be that .300-30-100 bat in the 

middle of the Jays order, the club will be that 

much better offensively. 

It is doubtful that at this point in his career, 

the three-time AL Gold Glove recipient 

will ever live up to his contract. It is a sticking 

point for the media and the fans to be sure. 

I promise to move on from mentioning the 

contract in this space again. It’s there, it’s not 

going anywhere and I will begrudgingly accept 

it is time to move on. 

And, for at least for one grand series in 

Texas, Wells actually played like a $126-million 

dollar man. 

Even with the Blue Jays off to a pretty decent 

start, it’s hard to imagine, even with 

Wells lighting it up, that they will contend 

in 2010. The American League East will be 

a monster once again with the usual suspects 

– New York, Boston, and Tampa Bay – sure 

to rebound. 

However, in 2011, Toronto has about $40 

million dollars in contract commitments, or 

about half of 2010.

There are a few intriguing free agents available 

for 2011: Tampa Bay’s Carl Crawford 

and Carlos Pena or Boston’s Victor Martinez 

to name a few. However, the Jays should really 

just try to build from within. 

Toronto can look to Minnesota for inspiration. 

The Twins have put a competitive team 

forth the past decade, winning five AL Central 

division titles since the turn of the millennium 

without ever shelling out Yankees or 

Red Sox money for free agents. 

Good scouting, drafting and player development 

have aided the Twins immensely, 

with the team’s payroll coming in at the $50- 

$60 million mark over this span – much less 

than the Blue Jays have shelled out. 

This season, Minnesota is making more 

headlines thanks to a new yard –Target Field 

– and the signing of Mauer to an eight-year 

and $184 million extension. 

The Jays, under new General Manager 

Alex Anthopoulos, have turned the corner 

and begun a rebuilding process that former 

GM JP Ricciardi never really committed to. 

To compete with New York and Boston, 

Toronto will need to accumulate as many 

prospects as possible and grow them into 

major leaguers, building a team on the (kinda) 

cheap. 

There’s not a lot of room for error, and a 

Blue Jays fan base that hasn’t had much to 

cheer about recently will need to remain patient. 

It’s just the way of life in the AL East. 

If the Jays ever figure it out, just think how 

much more sweet it will be.

Are you ready for summer 

The Boys and Girls Club of Lethbridge 

is putting together a variety of fun activities, 

crafts, guest speakers, off sites, experiments, 

water games, outside activities and 

the list goes on and on. We are excited for a 

summer of fun and excitement. We also offer 

a yummy afternoon snack which consists 

of two food groups from the Canada Food 

Guide. Our program starts on June 28th, 

2010 and goes until August 27th, 2010. We 

are open on Monday through Friday from 

7:00am -6:00pm. However, we will be closed 

on Canada Day in July and Heritage Day in 

August. 

This year our Summer Program theme is 

“A Rockin` good Time” and children are divided 

into peer groups with their own theme 

name: “The Bouncin Bee gee’s (Kindergarten 

2010? We sure are! 

& Grade 1) “The Magic Monkey’s” (Grades 

2 & 3) and “The Dangerous Def Leopards” 

(Grades 4-6). Although their names fit 

our main summer theme we also have fun 

themes planned for each week, including: 

Proud to be Canadian / Crazy about Culture 

/ We love Lethbridge / When I grow 

up… / Safety is #1 / I’m a rock star / We 

are all animals / Life is a Game Show / and 

Yeehaw Rodeo Week! The leaders of each 

group have planned fun activities here at the 

club and out in the community that fit each 

weekly theme! 

We have three assigned to each group and 

each staff member has their child care certification 

so you can rest assured your children 

are in capable hands. We are happy to 

announce that we have most of our part time

staff staying with us for the summer and it has 

been the first summer that we have not had 

to recruit new team members. Our wonderful 

summer group leaders include: Kim Hunn, 

Doug Harvie, Josh Hoetmer, Veronica 

Smith, Taneil Wilson, Kelsey Snow, Kelsey 

Folkard, Laura Twells and Michelle Ney. 

We also have two staff, Rachael Hathorn 

and Ashley Edgson, who helps with set up, 

clean up, driving, preparation and delivery 

of programs. The staff is very excited, looking 

forward to a fun summer and they are all 

putting in some great ideas to challenge the 

youth. All of our staff is equipped with clear 

criminal record checks, Class 4 and their First 

Aid and CPR. 

You can register for one week a couple of 

weeks or the whole summer! The cost for 

our program on a weekly basis is $125.00 per 

week plus a $50.00 non refundable registra-

tion fee. Registration begins May 3rd, 2010 

at 7:00am! Due to a short summer timeline 

we are unable to reimburse if your child does 

not attend. Hurry in to save you spot as they 

will go quickly . 

Another perk of being in the summer program 

is that it allows you to get to know our

Dreams do come true 

By Jeff Wiebe 


This might be the year to have a dream 

come true. 

The Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation 

recently launched its annual Dreamlife 

Lottery, and there are loads of goodies up for 

grabs. Giveaways this year include a grand 

prize of $100,000 of tax free cash and a variety 

of other prizes, like a 2010 Chevrolet 

Camaro a 2010 Chevy Silverado, a Harley 

Davidson motorcycle, a 2010 Springdale 

Keystone travel trailer, and four vacations, 

including trips to Vancouver, Victoria, Las 

Vegas, and a Caribbean cruise. Of course, 

there are tons of smaller prizes like electronic 

gadgets, gas cards, and summer gear up for 

grabs, as well. 

Kandis Parascak, fund development coordinator 

with foundation, says the lottery is 

one of its biggest fundraisers of the year, and 

the best part is that all money raised stays in 

the local community for priority equipment 

and special projects. 

“We don’t send it up to Edmonton and 

have it dispersed among everybody – 100 per 

cent of the proceeds stay here in Lethbridge,” 

she explains. 

“We offer a lot of different ways for people 

to support the foundation. Everyone has a 

way of giving that feels best for them – some 

people just give a straight donation, some 

choose to give to the Christmas tree festival. 

This is just another way of giving back 

to your community – all the funds stay here, 

and you have a chance of winning as well.” 

One of the upcoming special projects is a 

short stay house, which can be used by the 

families of patients receiving hospital treat- 


Kandis Parascak of the 

Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation 

ment. 

“So if someone is here for cancer treatment 

or for surgery, and they bring a family 

member with them for support, that family 

member can stay in the short stay house for 

a very low cost,” says Parascak, adding that 

the house is scheduled to open at the end of 

the year. 

The upcoming cancer radiation treatment 

centre, set to open in June, will also receive 

some of the proceeds from the lottery. In addition, 

Parascak says the hospital will be doing 

some beautification of its atrium. 

“It hasn’t been refurbished since its opening, 

so we’re going to do a little bit of updating 

there.” 

The foundation has a goal of raising 

$1,000,000, which it can reach if the lottery 

sells out. 

“It’s something we’re really wanting to 

achieve this year, and we’re hoping the public 

will help us out with that,” says Parascak. 

In addition to the three-packs and singles, 

this year’s lottery offers a new way to play – 

the nine-pack. 

“We had requests from the public to offer 

bigger packs – some of the other lotteries 

offer the higher priced tickets as well, so we 

thought we’d add a few,” explains Parascak. 

Tickets cost $50 each, $100 for three, or 

$250 for nine. The earlybird cutoff is April 

23 with the draw going April 30, and the final 

draw deadline is June 25 with the draw 

on June 30. For more information or to purchase 

tickets, call 403-320-8338 or visit www.

Capture ever y smile 

JOURNAL 

(NC)—A bride’s wedding day is one of 

the brightest days of her life and it is marked 

by many magical and romantic moments. 

When the time comes for you to say “I do,” 

make sure you have a game plan to capture 

all of these wonderful memories. 

Here are some tips to ensure you make a 

remarkable record of one of the most important 

days of your life. 

There is no “Take Two.” Research your 

photographer and ensure he or she is a professional. 

The photographer has only one 

chance at capturing the bride, groom, wedding 

party and ceremony. It is a good idea 

for the photographer to visit the locations of 

the ceremony and the reception prior to the 

actual day so they are comfortable with the 

lighting and requirements. 

The dress isn’t the only thing that should 

on your wedding day

be white. When you look back on your wedding 

photos, you don’t want to be distracted 

by having a less than perfect smile. Use a 

power toothbrush, like the Philips Sonicare 

Healthywhite, to let the natural whiteness of 

your teeth shine through. This would also 

make a wonderful gift for the wedding party. 

After all, smiles make the picture. 

Use the wonders of digital photography. 

You can optimize on the speed of development. 

Ask your photographer about the possibility 

of displaying some of the photos digitally 

at the reception after the ceremony. This 

is also a nice touch for the guests that were 

not at the ceremony. 

You will always remember your wedding 

day, but the photos will let you continue to 

enjoy the fine details of each moment captured.

80 years of caring 

for communities 

Jaci Zalesak loves her job. Of course, it’s 

hard not to love doing something that leaves 

everyone you meet smiling. 

As a Welcome Wagon representative for 

Lethbridge, Zalesak spends her days delivering 

goodies to newcomers, new parents or 

students. She loves being able to share in the 

happy moments of people’s lives. 

“I love it because you meet so many new 

people and it’s a happy time for people,” she 

says. “It’s nice to put a smile on people’s faces.” 

Zalesak and the three other Lethbridge 

representatives see about 100 new babies and 

40-80 new residents a month - a guaranteed 

recipe for the warm fuzzies. 

“I love it 

because you 

meet so many 

new people 

and it’s a 

happy time for 

people” 

“It’s so much fun,” 

says Zalesak. 

In her nine years 

as representative, Zalesak 

has visited everyone 

from refugees 

to college students, 

hailing from places 

ranging from South 

Africa to Toronto. 

But even with that 

many visits a month, 

Zalesak says there are still many people who 

don’t know what the Welcome Wagon is all 

about. She points out the service goes far 

beyond greeting newly-arrived residents, although 

that is a major part of it. 

“We’re widely recognized when people are 

moving,” she says. “But it’s really primarily 

for lifestyle changes.” 

Besides the Community Welcome program 

- which also provides gifts to those who 

have moved within the city - Welcome Wagon 

also runs Business Professional Welcome 

for those who have opened or purchased a 

business, Baby Welcome, in which representatives 

visit new moms at Chinook Regional 

Hospital and Campus Welcome for students 

new to the city. 

Gifts and information provided in each 

welcome basket differ with each program, 

but may include things like phone books, 

city maps, free food, baby supplies and ser- 

JOURNAL PEOPLE 


Jaci Zalesak of Welcome Wagon presents a 

gift to Sylvia Miller 

vices and coupons for discounts on everything 

from entertainment to massages. 

On top of those programs, the Welcome 

Wagon runs bi-annual Baby and Bridal 

Shows. The trade shows feature displays from 

local businesses and services, fashion shows, 

door prizes, gift bags and more. 

Zalesak started her Welcome Wagon career 

co-ordinating the Bridal Shows and had no 

idea she’d love it so much. 

“I’d always been interested in planning special 

events and was looking for a way to work 

from home,” she says. “Lo and behold, the 

position for Bridal Show Co-ordinator came 

open.” 

Zalesak jumped at the chance and hasn’t 

looked back. 

“Now I (co-ordinate) all the programs in 

the city,” she says. “It’s my full-time job.” 

Besides the other three Lethbridge reps, 

Zalesak works alongside one each from Coaldale, 

Taber and Claresholm as well as two 

from Pincher Creek. Last year, Zalesak won 

the Pauline Hill National Award for being the 

top representative in Canada for Baby Programs. 

In honour of Zalesak’s achievement, 

Welcome Wagon made a $2,000 donation to 

the Chinook Regional Hospital. 

This year - Welcome Wagon’s 80th anniversary 

- Zalesak notes fellow Lethbridge representative 

Judie Kopp is being recognized as 

Regional Winner for Community Programs. 

In celebration of 80 years representing 

caring communities, Zalesak says local representatives 

are hoping to reach even more 

southern Albertans in 2010. As well, she 

notes Welcome Wagon is planning to expand 

again - adding a program for new grandparents 

in the near future. 

Zalesak encourages anyone who knows 

someone who could benefit from a welcome 

package from Welcome Wagon to call the 

Lethbridge office at 403-327-3764 or to visit 

welcomewagon.ca. As well, she notes that 

clients do not have to be referred by a third 

party - newcomers or new parents are encouraged 

to call as well.

HOMES 

Remember to report 

your renos 

JOURNAL 

As the deadline to file a personal income tax return approaches, 

many Albertans are starting to gather and organize 

their paperwork, including any receipts for home improvements 

that qualify for the Home Renovation Tax Credit. If 

you completed any home renovations last year, be sure you 

inform your insurance provider of any changes to your home 

as you prepare to claim eligible expenses on your tax return. 

“When you make significant improvements to your home, 

it’s important to notify your home insurance company about 

those renovations,” says Robert Katzell, vice president and 

chief operating officer, AMA Insurance. “Your insurance 

company can only provide coverage for what they know 

about, so if you make major changes to your home, you need 

to make sure your home insurance policy is up to date.” 

When you complete renovations that increase the value 

of your home, it will likely mean that your home insurance 

premiums will increase as well, but that shouldn’t discourage 

people from contacting their insurance company to update 

their policies. The cost of an increase to your premiums may 

be a small price to pay to ensure that the potentially more significant 

cost of renovations you’ve completed will be covered 

in case of damage or loss. 

Notify the company that holds your home insurance policy 

if you have made any of the following changes: 

• Basement renovations 

• Installing new hardwood flooring 

• Remodelling your kitchen 

• Adding an extension to your home 

• Custom features, such as adding a sunroom or sauna 

“Your home may be the single largest investment you ever 

make, so you want to make sure you protect that investment,” 

says Katzell. “Contact your insurance representative for more 

information about how renovations can impact your home 

insurance. Don’t wait until you need to file a claim to find out 

that your home is underinsured.” 

LETHBRIDGE JOURNAL - WEEK OF APRIL 15, 2010 - Page 19


I j u s t c a n ’ t g e t 

g o o d p e o p l e ! 

By Coach Greg Stonehocker 


Do you ever find yourself saying this? 

Well did you know that 2 out of 3 new 

hires prove to be a mistake within the first 

year – at a cost of thousands of dollars for 

each departing employee? Hiring mistakes 

negatively impact productivity and erode 

your company’s profits. In Jim Collins’ landmark 

study and book “Good to Great” he 

states: “The good-to-great leaders understood 

three simple truths.” 1) “If you begin 

with ‘who’, rather than ‘what’, you can more 

easily adapt to a changing world” 2) “If you 

have the right people on the bus, the problem 

of how to motivate and manage people 

largely goes away” 3) “If you have the wrong 

people, it doesn’t matter whether you discover 

the right direction; you still won’t have a 

great company.” 

What would your business look like if your 

hiring system delivered the right person 75% 

of the time? Here are some quick tips to 

stack the odds in your favor. 

• Make sure you create thorough job 

descriptions, including Skills, Competencies, 

and Measures for success and growth. 

• Marketing is not just for customers; 

make sure you have a very specific marketing 

approach for recruiting and hiring. 

• Make your hiring a De-Selection 

Process, design your process so that those 

that have the character qualities will stand 

out and those who don’t will leave or de-select 

themselves, saving you time and hiring 

mistakes. 

• Have your written Vision, Mission, 

and Culture statements on hand during all 

interviews to communicate the high standards 

of behavior and performance expected 

by all within your company. 

Now what? It all comes down to passion, 

confidence, and the desire to grow. These 

attributes are much more important than 

just knowledge or experience, which can be 

taught. Stay disciplined and only interview 

candidates who match these criteria. 

Finally believe you can and you will”. Too 

often we defeat ourselves before we start. 

Telling your self ‘I just can’t get good help’ becomes 

a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead, start 

telling yourself “I have a great team committed 

to achieving our goals”. Even if it’s not yet 

true – YOU can make it so. Remember, the 

objective when hiring is to be able to say 3 

years later that, “Knowing what I know now, 

I’d hire this person again in a heartbeat!”

Last year, 4600 Canadians were 

afflicted with kidney cancer. 

1600 of them lost their lives. 

• More common in men than in women, kidney cancer is 

most often found in people over the age of 50. There is no 

single cause of kidney cancer, but certain factors increase 

the risk of developing it. 

• By maintaining a normal body weight and blood pressure, 

and having a diet rich in fruits and root vegetables, the risk 

of developing kidney cancer can be lessened. 

• Some symptoms of kidney problems include back or side 

pain that doesn’t go away, unexplained weight loss, chronic 

fatigue, or a lump in the side or abdomen. 

• This is a cancer that “hides” well until it is advanced. Don’t 

ignore your body’s signal that something might be wrong. 

If you feel persistent pain in your back, particularly in the 

‘around the waist’ region, visit your family doctor.

JOURNAL 

CAREERS TIP OF THE WEEK: 

www.hire-standard.com 

Correcting ar tfully 

For several years, I directed volunteer 

choirs. Being effective required not only musical 

skills, but a great deal of diplomacy. As 

a young college graduate in my early 20s, I 

had to quickly learn how to criticize artfully. 

Adult choirs were comprised of people of 

varied ability, ages, and interests. Although 

the term was not used at the time, I now realize 

that choral directing required emotional 

intelligence. 

Emotional intelligence is the ability to 

identify, assess, and manage the emotions of 

one’s self, of others, and of groups. While research 

into emotional intelligence was conducted 

throughout the 20th century, it wasn’t 

until Daniel Goleman’s book, Emotional Intelligence: 

Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, 

published in 1995, that the term became part 

of popular culture. 

Highly effective bosses possess high levels 

of emotional intelligence. Nowhere is 

emotional intelligence more necessary than 

when supervisors have to correct others. 

Goleman states, “used artfully, feedback on 

competencies can be a priceless tool for selfexamination 

and for cultivating change and 

growth. Used poorly, it can be an emotional 

bludgeon.” 

To some extent, bosses can neither predict 

WAY FOR BUSINESS 

nor prevent emotional fallout from correction. 

Many factors influence how people respond 

to negative feedback. A person with 

a high sense of self-worth or self-confidence 

will generally respond more favorably and 

be able to process criticism more readily 

and constructively. Persons with low self esteem 

or those who have experienced hurtful 

criticism may become defensive or be easily 

crushed by correction, no matter how well 

intended. While bosses cannot be fully responsible 

for how subordinates receive correction, 

they can develop skills to minimize 

negative fallout. 

Consider the following when correcting: 

• Be sure of the facts. Wise managers 

do not correct based on hearsay. Have appropriate 

documentation in place. 

• Be sensitive to timing. If corrective 

action is essential to meet a deadline, then 

certainly it must be done promptly. In such 

cases, take extra care not to simply respond 

in the heat of the moment. Correction, when 

given as a part of a regularly scheduled meeting 

that includes regular feedback, is usually 

easier to give and less risky than scheduling a 

meeting only for corrective purposes. 

• Correct in private. Rebuking someone 

in public will significantly increase the 

emotional fallout and also jeopardize the 

leader’s standing with others in the team. 

• Using the “sandwich technique” is 

a wise strategy when communicating bad 

news. Always begin with something positive. 

Affirm the individual and some aspect 

of their job performance. This first step will 

soften the impact of correction. When correcting, 

managers would do well to follow 

a Dale Carnegie human relations principle: 

“talk about your own mistakes before criticizing 

others.” The sandwich concludes with 

a positive, affirming statement. 

• Address the action or behavior rath- 

“Bill, the way 

you reacted in 

this situation 

seemed out of 

character for 

you. Is there 

something 

else going 

on?” 

er than the person. 

Dale Carnegie 

advises that we 

give people a fine 

reputation to live 

up to. Sometimes, 

correction can 

be given in a way 

that doesn’t demean 

the person 

e.g. “Bill, the way 

you reacted in this 

situation seemed 

out of character 

for you. Is there 

something else going on?” 

• Use open-ended questions e.g. “help 

me to understand…” or “how do you think 

this should have been handled?”

Applicants: Did you know that a typing 

speed of 40 words per minute is the basic 

minimum standard for most companies, 

in any employment field. There are many 

online sites that offer free tutorials and 

games that help to increase your speed. 

Try www.freetypinggame.net. 

• Avoid excessive use of “you” and focus 

more on the behavior that needs correcting. 

• Examine your own heart before 

criticizing. Is the behavior truly worth addressing 

or are you merely voicing your own 

frustrations? 

• Don’t overreact if the employee’s 

initial response is unfavorable, defensive, or 

even emotional. Receiving criticism is not 

easy. Some recipients will need time to cool 

down or to reflect on what has been said. 

• Develop a “contract” for change that 

is mutually agreeable. 

• Follow up on decisions that have 

been made to assess progress or lack of progress. 

Correction is one of the roles of a manager. 

While not easy, artful criticism can be 

learned. The purpose of correction and the 

desired outcome is summarized by Kohn and 

O’Connell: “addressing a performance issue 

should lead not only to improved work, but 

to a higher level of trust in the manager’s 

competency and willingness to address future 

problems in a similarly constructive way. 

There is truth in the maxim that a relationship 

gets stronger during and after a crisis.”

For The Lethbridge Journal 

The Lethbridge Public Library is far 

more than a place of books, magazines, CD’s 

and DVD’s. It’s also the venue for a long list 

of various events and activities to stimulate 

the intellect and imaginations of people of all 

ages. 

For example, on Thursday, April 22, local 

author Anita Horrocks will launch her first 

picture book book, Silas’s Seven Grandparents. 

Everyone is invited to join Anita to hear 

her read from her new book and talk about 

her writing. The launch will be held in the 

community meeting downstairs at the library 

from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm, and is arranged by 

the Lethbridge Children’s Literature Roundtable. 

Everyone is welcome to attend! 

According to Elisabeth Hegerat, Coordinator 

of Youth Services for the Library, other 

activities for children include the upcoming 

“Ready, Set, Read” summer reading program 

that pairs readers in grades one to three with 

volunteers in grades four to twelve, a family 

literacy program called “Rhyme Time” that 

takes place out in the community, and story 

time programs for babies, toddler and preschoolers 

held throughout the year. She also 

described the Library’s new for 2010 Spelling 

Mini-Bee, launched in February for students 

in grades one to three. 

“The goals of our new spelling Mini-Bee 

are to increase vocabulary and learning 

skills, prepare students to enter the Canspell 

Bee when they reach grade four, and to encourage 

a love of language and learning” Hegerat 

said. 

“We were thrilled to learn this month that 

the Lethbridge Public Library was awarded 

the Stan Heath Achievement in Literacy 

Award, presented by the Library’s trustee 

association,” Hegerat said. The award recognized 

the Library’s significant contribution 

to the advancement of literacy in Lethbridge. 

The Lethbridge and Regina Public Libraries 

were co-winners of the award, which will be 

formally presented in June. 

“We got our young spellers ready for the 

competition with three prior weeks of Saturday 

afternoon study sessions held at the Library,” 

Elisabeth explained. “Each Saturday 

afternoon they practiced spelling exercises 

and spelling games. Then, at the final session, 

the children lined up to practice spelling 

words aloud in a trial run for the actual Bee.” 

“On the day of the competition,” she 

added, “twelve students participated, progressing 

from grade one words to grade five 

words in the final rounds. Every participant 

succeeded in the first few rounds; no one was 

eliminated until Round Three. 

“Their young ages did not stop the children 

from understanding the rules or the 

process; every child was fully composed in 

front of the audience,” she said, pleased. 

The winner, Tyler Black, (see photo) who 

won the championship by correctly spelling 

the word “brighten,” received a trophy 

donated by The Engravers, a local engraving 

and trophy company. “Amazingly, Tyler 

and his young rivals made it through nine 

rounds, spelling far beyond their grade and 

age level,” Elisabeth commented. “All the 

children exceeded our expectations.” 

Hegerat expressed appreciation to the 

volunteer judging panel who are members 

of the University of Lethbridge faculty. The 

same panel members also served on the regional 

Canspell Bee. Moreover, volunteer 

students from the University of Lethbridge 

Literature Club helped organize the participants, 

escorting spellers from the state when 

they were eliminated. Every participant was 

given a bag of small prizes presented at they 

left the platform. 

Based upon its successful first year, the Library 

plans to offer the Mini-Bee program 

again next year. 

Jeff McLarty, the Library’s Community 

Support Facilitator, in considering the numerous 

programs for children, commented 

that “persons willing to support the Library 

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 


Amazing overflow: 

Exciting events for all ages! 


Elizabeth Hegerat, Coordinator of 

Youth Services for the 

Lethbridge Public Library 

Tyler Black, a Grade 3’er, won the 

Lethbridge Public Library’s 2010 

Spelling Mini-Bee in February 

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 the 10 winning keys plus a chance to 

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

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

has arranged for a booth to be set up at Park 

Place Shopping Centre on upcoming Saturdays 

to provide the public will easy access to 

purchase the keys. 

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. 

Grade 1 to Grade 3 students, 

competing in the Library’s 

Spelling Mini-Bee in February, 

exceeded expectations by spelling well 

beyond their age and grade levels
