COVER STORY 

Lethbridge celebrates Canada Day 

By Jeff Wiebe 

For the Lethbridge Journal 

As Lethbridge prepares for a flood of red 

and white flag waving ahead of Canada Day, 

many local residents will be reflecting on the 

meaning of their Canadian citizenship while 

they enjoy the day’s festivities. 

While almost everyone knows about the 

Canada Day fireworks in the park, there are 

several other lesser-known events going on 

around town, and the Journal encourages 

you to celebrate Lethbridge’s celebration of 

Canada Day. 

If sports are your thing, Spitz Stadium at 

Henderson Park is the place to be. The Lethbridge 

Sport Council is hosting a family 

sports day; baseball fans will get a chance to 

play with the pros from 10-11:30 a.m. as the 

Lethbridge Bulls take to the field to play ball 

with the community. Later, the sport council 

will host a series of sporting events for the 

entire family, allowing locals to participate in 

some sports they otherwise wouldn’t. 

“It’s providing a free opportunity for families 

to try a bunch of different sports, allowing 

them to do things together rather than 

dropping a kid off at one sport and having 

to run off to do another one,” says Susan Eymann, 

executive director of the council, adding 

that while sports days typically require 

registration, the July 1 first events will be 

open to all without registration. 

Stations will be setup around the stadium 

from noon to 1:30 and will represent different 

sports, including netball. Eymann 

describes it as a bit like basketball with no 

backboard and no dribbling, making it more 

of a passing sport that is perfect for crosstraining. 

Other sports events around the area will 

include dragon boat ride alongs courtesy of 

Lethbridge College for those who have always 

been curious what it’s like to travel in 

one of the mythical boats. 

In addition, Lethbridge Immigrant Services 

will be holding a soccer game in celebration 

of the beautiful game and its fans during 

the World Cup. 

Jared Sholt, a local post-secondary stu- 

dent, says he plans to celebrate the day taking 

in some local music in Galt Gardens. 

“I don’t know about a lot of the stuff going 

on the city, but I’ve been to the shows in the 

park before, and they always put on a pretty 

good show,” he explains, “and it’s always nice 

to see some local talent on display.” 

Galt Gardens will be bursting with local 

music all day, featuring artists like Treeline, 

Alyssa McQuaid, Matt Robinson, and Doublejack 

playing from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission 

is free, and if temperatures rise too 

high, there are fountains conveniently located 

throughout the park. 

More great Canadian music will be featured 

on Lethbridge’s campus-community 

radio station CKXU, which will hold a special 

countdown of the top 100 Canadian songs of 

all time as voted by members of CKXU. The 

station solicited ideas from the public for a 

couple weeks, asking listeners to submit their 

top 10 songs, and in keeping with the station’s 

independent mandate, it will shy away from 

Top 40 tunes. But Jorden Ager, station manager 

and executive director of the station, says 

tracks from legends like Neil Young will be 

unavoidable. 

“There’s a good mix of songs you’ll know 

from back in the day by Canadian artists, and 

stuff you’ve never heard before,” he explains, 

adding that he and other station staff have 

sifted through more than 450 songs to arrive 

at the top 100. 

“I’m sure that after this, people won’t agree 

with some of the list, so they’ll have to vote 

next year,” 

Other local music will be showcased at 7 

p.m. at Henderson Lake Park, as the Lethbridge 

Community Gold Band takes the stage 

for a concert. 

While in the Henderson area, there will 

also be plenty to do at Nikka Yuko Japanese

Galt Gardens entryway, one of the many venues for Canada Day celebrations in Lethbridge 

Gardens, the attraction offers Lethbians a 

chance to take in a bit of Japanese culture 

with several different activities. 

Things will kick off at 11 a.m. with paper 

lantern decorating and continue throughout 

the day with other activities like origami lessons, 

calligraphy, and storytelling. Admission 

is $7 for adults, $5 for seniors and $4 for 

adults. 

Regardless of how residents decide to celebrate 

the day, many will be considerate of 

how fortunate they are to live in Canada, and 

they won’t be alone in admiring the Great 

White North – according to a recent survey 

conducted by the Historica-Dominion Institute, 

more than half of all people surveyed in 

the world’s leading 24 economies said they 

would pack up and move to Canada if they 

could. 

Which is as good a reason as any to celebrate 

this magnificent day.

Summertime, and the livin’ is easy 

Free Classifieds CALL 403-320-8936 

Living in Lethbridge has its benefits and drawbacks like any other city. High winds, unpredictable storms, flash floods, 

and growing sprawl no doubt contribute to its drawbacks. The beauty of Lethbridge in the summer time, though, is undeniable. 

The warm air, the cooling breezes and the incredible sunshine make Lethbridge summers something people cherish and 

hold onto during those long winter cold snaps. The bevy of events happening, and the vibrancy of the streets create a community 

that can be lost in bigger cities and colder months. 

Henderson Lake is one of the best places to while away an afternoon. The cool shade of the trees, the breeze coming off the 

lake, the pool, and the Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens give anyone something to look forward to and enjoy. 

Still though, one of the best things about Henderson, and Lethbridge in general in the summer is the people. 

The streets come alive. The sunshine draws people out of their homes and offices to enjoy lunch in the park, or walks 

downtown. Families, students, and seniors all come together to revel in the outdoors. 

Small, pleasant conversation is made as people pass each other, and relationships are formed through shared experiences. 

With so many summer activities available, it is impossible to not bump into someone from the distant, or not so distant 

past. These are the moments remembered, and cherished. Like the crops that surround the city, communities grow in the 

sunshine. 

Lethbridge summers are about friends meeting on a patio for after work beverages, community gardens full of thriving 

home grown fruits and vegetables, and children running around in an outdoor pool. 

While there are times Lethbridge can seem like a series of isolated spaces, the beautiful part of summer is that people actively 

try and break those bonds: joining another group floating in Popson Park, stepping out of a comfort zone and striking 

up a conversation with a perfect stranger, even sitting down next to someone you only coincidentally know at a café, or on a 

patio. It is amazing the bravery that Lethbridge summers give people. 

It is something to behold, really, the desire to re-connect after long, cold winters. The belief in the goodness of others 

returns, and trust is developed and reseeded. This is no better exemplified than at the Canada Day fireworks in Henderson 

Lake Park. 

Thousands of people, crowded together on blankets and lawn chairs. People wandering back and forth, chatting and visiting. 

The sense of community is amazing. People really care about each other and about this city. 

Summers here are why University of Lethbridge, and Lethbridge College students stay in the city all year round. The river 

bottom entices those eager to swim in the cold, fresh river. The Frisbee golf parks, and proximity to Waterton and other 

national parks create the perfect feeling that one gets in the summer. 

The feeling of freedom, and of community is indescribable. It comes with the bon fires, and barbeques, the summer events 

and sport games. It is quite possibly the warm weather, the increase in vitamin D, and the relief of a high affliction: seasonal 

affective disorder. Or perhaps it is the inherent value in all Canadians: to enjoy the sun while it lasts. 

Regardless of the motivation, summer here is something to behold and enjoy. It beats most other cities for sheer levels 

of sunshine, and for community spirit. Coulee hikes, and river bottoms can be enjoyed for weeks on end. Spilling into the 

night air after a roof-raising concert. Enjoying a New West Production or a performance by the Lethbridge Symphony and 

walking home. 

Summer is many things to many people, but the community it builds and sustains is truly what keeps this city alive and 

well.

What if there was a way to purchase 

or re�nance at a great rate and save 

up to thousands a month? 

ow, more than ever, you need low interest 

rates. With all this talk of recession, a challeng- 

Ning 

real estate market, and high unemployment 

the situation is challenging. We all need to reduce 

our debt and minimize our monthly expenses. But 

how? If questions like this intrigue you I think you’ll 

be surprised by what you’re about to read. Now, for 

the �rst time in history, 5-year interest rates are as 

low as 1.85%. Rates so low don’t expect them to 

stay for long. Low rates designed to boost the 

economy. 

Let’s take a closer look. If you have an existing 

mortgage of $220,000 at 5.75% with monthly 

payments of $1375.05 plus $30,000 in credit card 

and vehicle debt with payments of $1500 a month 

your total monthly mortgage, credit card, and vehicle 

payments are $2875.05. What I’m leading up to is 

this; allow mortgagestogo.ca to combine your debt 

at 1.85% and your new monthly payment will be 

$808.14 with a 35 amortization. (O.A.C.) We’ve 

saved the best for last. Your payments have been 

cut by 2/3. From almost $3000 a month to under 

$1000. And there’s more; consolidation can often 

improve your credit as well as freeing up existing 

credit cards for future emergency use. This is the 

opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

Dear Paul, 

“The goal that we thought was beyond our reach has been 

achieved. You were instrumental in this huge change in my 

family’s life. We are “credit-card-debt-free.” We cannot thank 

you enough for your help. We found you to be professional and 

competent, and your service is second to none. Again, thank 

you for your much needed help. I am sending this through 

e-mail, as I cannot afford to waste another day. This note is 

already very late." 

- A.C., Fort Macleod, AB 

"Paul has continuously kept us updated on the progress of our 

mortgage with great professionalism all around. We have been 

very impressed and would highly recommend his services to 

other nervous people. We were also touched and very thankful to 

see Paul at work on our behalf at 10:30 at night trying to get our 

papers �nalized at the last minute. We are on the road and only 

have limited access to fax machines an issue Paul handled with 

patience, con�dence and good advice. We found Paul doesn’t 

sugar-coat anything and positively deals with negative issues, a 

trait we admire. Thank you Paul…thank you very much." 

Sincerely, 

- D. & C. L., Lethbridge, AB

Campbell’s Corner 

Cup fever 

I don’t think there’s a better - looking 

trophy in the world of sport than the Stanley 

Cup. And I don’t think there’s a better tradition 

in sport than allowing each player of the 

winning team to bring it to their hometown 

for a day. 

Thanks to Kris Versteeg of the Chicago 

Black Hawks who was an impact player in this 

year’s playoffs, the Cup will be here in Lethbridge 

on July 3. As you might expect, every 

member of the Lethbridge media wants some 

time with Kris and I thank him for taking a 

moment to talk to me. 

Not lost in the frenzy that goes with winning 

a championship at 24 years of age, Kris 

remembers how important his family and his 

supporters were in his hockey development 

here in Lethbridge. He says he is still very 

proud to call Lethbridge his hometown and 

constantly hypes the city to his friends. 

While there have been a number of Lethbridge-born 

players who have their name 

inscribed on Lord Stanley’s mug, Kris along 

with Vic Stasiuk, would have played the most 

playoff games. And to take it even further, 

Kris is the only Lethbridge-born “rapper” 

with his name on the Cup. 

At press time Kris says there’s not a better 

city to play hockey in than Chicago and hopes 

that he will always be a Black Hawk. He’d also 

like a shot at playing for Canada either in the 

Olympics or in the World Championships. 

Doh!! 

From the “Why does my brain do that?” 

department: Last week I was doing a couple 

of interviews on Scene & Heard and struggled 

with the introductions. 

For some reason instead of introducing 

John Paul Smith from the band “Sleeping 

With Tuesday”, I kept calling them “Sleeping 

Til Tuesday.” 

There’s a totally different connotation 

there. And while introducing Southern Alberta 

Art Gallery Artist Trudi Smith, I instead 

called her Trudy Young. 

To my defense, I think my brain flashed 

back to the days of Razzle Dazzle when I 

would watch co-host Trudy Young as she

interacted with Howard the Turtle, Percy 

Kidpester and the Razzle Dazzle news - I had 

my own secret decoder kit. Let’s move on. 

Making a difference 

A lot of organizations in the city do a lot 

of great work for the community and often 

don’t get as much publicity as they should get. 

This week the Freemasons of Lethbridge had 

their Higher Education bursary presentations 

where nine kids from the city and surround- 

C O M M E N T 

ing communities each received $2000. 

Conny Schipper of the Alzheimer’s 

Society is thrilled that her Memory Walk 

raised $20,688 which surpassed their goal of 

$20,000. 

Making a difference, rockabilly style 

Last year Mike Spencer of the Geomatic 

Attic, held The Olympic Athlete’s Music Fest 

which raised over $2000 for local athletes 

Jim Steacy and Carla Pavan. This year Mike 

is at it again with the Rockabilly Riot. 

This year’s recipient is Free The Children, 

an organization created 15 years ago by then 

12-year old Craig Kielburger with the mandate 

of educating and empowering young 

people in developing countries around the 

world. 

In those 15 years the organization has 

built over 600 schools as well as generated 

many other positive initiatives. 

The musical line-up for the Sunday, July 

4th event features local rockabilly band Bent 

Eight along with Calgary bands Eve Hell & 

The Raisers, Hurricane Felix & The Southern 

Twisters and headliner Cousin Harley, 

one of North America’s top Rockabilly bands 

featuring guitar virtuoso Paul Pigat. 

The gates will open at 4pm with food, 

beverage and merchant tents. Mike adds that 

kids under 12 get in free with an accompanying 

adult plus the Street Wheelers classic 

cars will be on site. 

Tickets are available at Blueprint at 519-4 

Ave. S. and the Sound Shop at 318A-13 St. 

N. The Geomatic Attic is located at 491-W.T. 

Hill Blvd. S. near the Casino. 

Save our hall 

Don Douglas from the Granum Willow 

Creek Enhancement Society sent me this email: 

“We, the people of the Town of Granum 

and area are trying to save our Community 

hall. It is really tough to try and hold any 

large function without one. We have entered 

a contest sponsored by UFA Co-op, a good 

portion in the chance of winning is by voting 

on line for our submission. Go to www. 

smalltownheroes.ca and vote.” 

All votes must be received by September 

8, 2010 and there are no limits to the number 

of votes an entry can receive. You can 

vote once every 24 hours. 

The winner receives $2500 towards community 

projects plus a free concert from Canadian 

Country singing star Paul Brandt. 

Good luck Granum!!

peroge, the giant pinto bean, and the giant beaver 

The bay of Fundy, Niagara Falls, the rockies, 

the Cabot Trail, and the Drumheller dinosaur 

dig all made it on the list and that is just the 

tip of the iceberg that floats past Newfoundland 

like a slow motion mountain of white. 

The seven wonders could have easily been 

extended to be the hundred wonders of Canada. 

The plains of Abraham, the forts built for 

the war of 1812, the museums that dot this 

country paying homage to the explorers, settlers, 

pioneers and most importantly to the native 

Canadians who first called this place home. 

This compilation by the CBC is what the 

CBC was created for. We got full bang for our 

taxpayer dollars out of that exploration of our land. 

For a network that spends way too much 

time airing British mysteries, sci-fi shows and 

highlights of comedy festivals it was nice to see 

them spending the government money they 

receive on a project as noble and proud as this. 

The unfortunate thing is the American reality 

shows, sitcoms and dramas have taken over 

most of our TV viewing and most Canadians 

don’t even look to see what’s on the CBC; fearing 

it might be another episode of Coronation 

Street. So when the final special aired virtually 

no one saw it. 

Leaving people to just go on with their lives 

forever wondering what are the seven wonders 

of Canada. 

C O M M E N T 

The Wonders Of Canada 

This country has many icons, including the 

national railroad that connected this great land 

mass from coast to coast that first allowed our 

grandparents - grandparents to settle out west. 

They shot straight, lived straight and rode 

like the wind. They had bravery in their blood 

and hardiness beyond measure. They broke 

broncos before breakfast and branded longhorns 

until dinner. The evenings were spent sitting 

on the front stoop counting their calluses 

until fatigue overwhelmed them into the realm 

of the sandman. 

The government at the time, looking to 

instill a national identity through a cultural 

unity, created another national icon: the CBC. 

First its radio beginnings, then CBC television. 

The idea that you could press a button and see 

something happening three thousand miles 

away was astonishing. 

The CBC-TV network went on the air in the 

fall of 1952. Canada’s first TV buyers splurged 

on units that sold for $429 dollars back when 

the average working person earned $3,500 a year. 

This created even more national icons: 

Hockey Night in Canada, Don Messers Jubilee, 

The Friendly Giant and Ann Murray variety 

specials, Ann Murray Christmas specials, in 

short, Ann Murray. 

Three years ago the CBC conducted a survey 

to find the seven wonders of Canada. They 

could have been anything; food, a road, a park, 

a mountain range, a river, a trophy, it really 

didn’t matter. 

Then they narrowed the list down to the top 

fifty or so and let people vote online. Now while 

I am sometimes irked at the waste of money 

the CBC can be, I think this was a brilliant idea. 

Highlighting the myriad of fantastic places 

this country has to offer. Just one glance at the 

list that was compiled, and you quickly realize 

you will never need to leave this country to go 

on vacation again. 

One of the big problems facing Canadians is 

getting to places so far away. Especially when a 

trip to the national park in the Northwest Territories 

is likely to drain nine tanks of gas on a 

one - way trip. I’ll need to mortgage my home 

to visit that one. 

However, if time and money permits, there 

are some extraordinary things to see in every 

corner of Canada. The funny thing is that the 

CBC’s list of the ‘wonders’ didn’t even include 

any of the giant things we’ve built: the giant 

BUZZ 

AROUND TOWN 

B U Z Z M C E G A N 

The 

Seven Wonders 

Niagara Falls, the real wonder there is why 

does the water never run out? 

Pier 21, the place in Nova Scotia where a lot 

of immigrants who made this country great, 

first landed. 

The Rockies, and they don’t mean the Sylvester 

Stallone movies. 

The Igloo, with global warming, the premiums 

for a home insurance policy against 

melting will be outrageous. 

The Canoe, although really how can the canoe 

make the list without the paddle because 

you apparently don’t want to be up the creek 

without one even if you have a canoe. 

Old Quebec City, and the fact that it’s still 

standing kind of makes it a wonder. 

Prairie skies, they are breathtaking, when 

there not pouring rain of course.

Confederation Bridge P.E.I. - a true marvel

The Trans Canada Highway - that’s a vote 

for every pothole I believe. 

The Vimy Ridge Memorial - a great monument

COLON ENZYME, LIQUID MENO & FORTIFY PROBIOTICS 

Today we are introducing a new enzyme product, one in which is designed 

to actually promote healthy colon function. This is called “Colon Clenzyme” 

and its benefits are numerous. We already know that a healthy colon is essential 

to good health, don’t we? Colon cleansing and detoxifying helps by 

preventing a build up of poorly digested, toxic, or putrefying wastes. Food 

that is poorly digested or undigested begins to ferment, decay, purify, and 

turn rancid in the colon. Undigested waste products that are not efficiently 

eliminated are also harmful to the intestinal tract. Some of the Colon Clenzyme 

benefits are 1) helps maintain intestinal regularity, 2) improves digestion 

and the absorption of nutrients, 3) lessens the symptoms of indigestion, 

including gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort, 4) supports a healthy 

balance of gut bacteria, and 5) normalizes the inflammatory response. How 

cool is that? This product contains a unique blend of 6 enzymes designed 

to break down food and release nutrients, resulting in optimal nutrient 

assimilation. The special enzyme in question here is “Chitosanase” that 

breaks down chitin, an important part of the structure of the cell wall of fungi, 

including Candida albicans. This can help prevent the overgrowth of this 

potentially harmful pathogen. Together, these enzymes provide comprehensive 

coverage for digesting food and improving the absorption of nutrients, 

leading to increased energy and improved health, and helping to reduce 

the incidence of developing disease. Colon Clenzyme is considered safe 

and suitable for long-term use for individuals of all ages. Capsules may be 

opened and sprinkled on foods for children or individuals who have difficulty

For What it’s Worth 

Fake NHL awards 

By now, hockey fans are already well 

aware who won the NHL’s major hardware 

for the 2009-2010 season. Recently, in Las 

Vegas, the loop held its annual Awards. In 

what was a major upset, at least for Battle of 

the Blades fans, it was hosted by Jay Mohr 

and not Ron MacLean. 

So, Vancouver’s Henrik Sedin was named 

Most Valuable Player and won the Hart Trophy. 

Leaving me to wonder: how does this 

not throw a wedge into his relationship with 

twin brother Daniel? 

In recent years, the NHL has added 

awards like the Rocket Richard Award for 

the league’s top goal scorer and the Mark 

Messier Award for leadership. Anyways, we 

all know about the Norris, Lady Bing, Calder 

and Vezina trophies. But there are several 

awards that were handed out earlier in the 

day that didn’t make the broadcast. 

Thankfully, my sources within the NHL 

gave me the list. Here are some of the highlights: 

The Hartford Whalers Award 

It has been awhile since we last saw the 

Mighty Whale, as the franchise moved to 

Carolina in 1997. Hartford was a pretty good 

WHA club, winning the Avco World Trophy 

in 1973. However, in 18 NHL seasons, the 

Whalers were the definition of mediocrity, 

winning just one Adams Division pennant 

and one playoff series. 

In that spirit, the Columbus Blue Jackets 

are trying to pick up where Hartford left 

off. Two seasons ago the expansion franchise 

was much improved as it made the playoffs 

for the first time. 

However, the Jackets seemed to take a 

step back this past campaign, missing out 

on the Stanley Cup tournament. Despite an 

all-world talent like Rick Nash; several years 

of poor drafting, and the inability to draw 

premier free agents has the Jackets looking 

ke 

FOR WHAT IT’S 

WORTH 

M A R T Y B A C E D A 

like the Whalers—without the catchy theme 

song. 

Lanny McDonald Cup 

This could go out to the NHLer with 

the best wrist shot, but instead it’s for, yes, 

the best moustache. With the emergence of 

Movember as an annual event, the ol’ push 

broom is undergoing a real renaissance. 

While many players just kept them for 

that month, others are rocking the Tom 

Selleck year-round. Hands down, this year’s 

Lanny goes to George Parros. The Anaheim 

enforcer sports his 365 days a year, and looks 

like he belongs as much in Dodge City circa 

1880 as he does on the ice. 

Kyle McLaren Trophy 

This goes out to the NHL’s most unsung 

defenseman. McLaren was the epitome of 

this. In 12 NHL seasons, the Coaldale raised 

rearguard never gained much notoriety for 

his steady play. 

In a close race, this year’s recipient is 

Mark Giordano.

PH: 403-331-3134 

It’s easy to understand why the Toronto 

native may go unnoticed. On the Calgary 

Flames, he had the likes of Jay Bouwmeester, 

Robyn Regehr and, for most of the season, 

Dion Phaneuf garnering most of the pub. 

But, by the end of the campaign, it was Giordano 

who was logging the most ice-time for 

Brent Sutter in all key situations. 

Not bad for a guy who was playing in Russia 

just 3 years ago. 

Rocky Balboa-Apollo Creed Bowl 

The RACB goes to the best fight of the 

season. This goes to Vancouver’s Rick Rypien 

and then Calgary Flame Brandon Prust. The 

two welterweights are no strangers, as they 

fought 3 times last season. 

It was their first scrap in a January game at 

GM Place that was the best. High paced, with 

both men throwing with both hands, made 

for an entertaining tilt. 

Robby Ftorek Sweater Award 

The former Los Angeles, Boston and New 

Jersey bench boss actually posted a decent 

winning percentage in 6 NHL seasons. Yet, 

he was twice fired guiding first-place teams. 

However, I’ll always remember his LA days 

and his fantastically bad sweaters. 

Much like those threads, wonderfully outdated, 

is Pat Quinn. Now, there is no denying 

Quinn has had a very good coaching career. 

But, for the Edmonton Oilers to tab the then 

66-year-old to guide a struggling franchise 

very much appeared to be a mistake. 

Yes, the Oilers were ravaged by injury, and 

there was not much talent on hand to begin 

with. However, if Quinn was blameless, then 

he would have returned for a second season 

in the Capital. 

Instead, he was moved to an advisory role 

with the club, and was replaced by Tom Renney. 

Really, it’s for the best. Quinn working an 

NHL Bench best belongs in our memories, 

not in the present.

SWLL takes 

Montana 

tournament 

By Steven Florendine 


The SWLL 9-10 year old All-Star baseball 

team won the Choteau, MT Junior 

Classic. The team went 5 – 0 in the tournament 

by scoring 85 runs and only allowing 

10. They won their semi-final game 8 – 0 

against the Helena Sluggers with Raleigh 

Ferby pitching a fantastic 1 – hit complete 

game. 

In the final game, the team battled 

back from a 4 – 0 deficit after the top of the 

first inning, to win in the bottom of the 6th 

after scoring 3 runs. 

The SWLL All-stars beat the defending 

tournament champions from Belgrade, 

MT, 7 – 6. 

The boys never got down despite being 

behind 4 – 0 after the first inning. They 

battled the entire game continuously chipping 

away at the Belgrade lead, with each 

and every player making valuable contributions: 

truly a team victory. 

The team acted with class the entire 

weekend. After winning the game against 

the Helena Sluggers, several Helena parents 

commented on how well the Lethbridge 

boys played and more importantly, 

how classy they were in the win. 

Several parents from different Montana 

towns cheered for Lethbridge in their 

Championship victory over Belgrade. 

Special congratulations to the entire 

team and coaching staff: Ryan Ferby, Don 

Henley and Jennifer Penner. 

The team’s next tournament is in Airdrie 

beginning on July 1, 2010.

The Kokanee 

Glacier offers 

the perfect 

golf course 

By Jeff Wiebe 


Nestled between the Purcell and Selkirk 

mountain ranges of the central Kootenays is 

a piece of golfing heaven only a few hours’ 

drive from Lethbridge. 

The Kokanee Springs Golf Resort lies 

on the shores of Kootenay Lake and seems 

carved from the very wilderness itself. It’s 

been the crown jewel of Kootenay golf courses 

for more than 40 years, making it one of 

the first mountain-designed golf courses in 

the area. 

“It’s really a spectacular area,” says Greg 

Garbula, vice president of the resort. 

“It’s an extra couple hours to get here, but 

that’s what makes it so special. If we were 

closer to any of our main markets, we’d be 

just one of those regular golf courses. We’re 

very unique.” 

The course was designed to perfectly 

complement its surroundings and allow the 

natural beauty of the environment to shine 

through - every hole features panoramic 

views of the Kokanee Glacier. This special location 

has remained pristine over the years, 

offering golfers a different experience from 

courses in the Okanogan or Columbia Valley areas. 

“We have people who religiously make 

their Kokanee trek year after year. It’s a real 

pilgrimage,” says Garbula, adding that most 

of the resort’s 30,000 annual visitors are return 

customers. 

The 18-hole course, with its rolling greens 

and pristine landscape, offers something for 

all golfers, regardless of skill level. The pro 

shop has a variety of men’s and women’s apparel 

available, with more than fourteen 

brands to choose from. As well, CPGA pros 

are always on hand to help you improve your 

swing with private lessons. 

If your visit to the resort seems all too 

brief, you even have the option of buying a 

place of your own at one of the resort’s newlyopened 

developments. 

“It’s really starting to shape into a beautiful 

recreational retirement area,” says Garbula.

all it has to offer, visit www.kokaneesprings.

Clear Hearing with the help of VIVID SPEECH 

By Editorial Staff 


Hearing loss is the third most common 

problem faced by baby boomers today and 

can significantly reduce a person’s quality 

of life. It can restrict and inhibit a person’s 

ability to interact with others, prevent them 

from hearing vital information, cause misunderstandings, 

depression, isolation and may 

even shorten life expectancy. Most hearing 

losses can be effectively treated with digital 

amplification. However, because the onset of 

hearing loss tends to be gradual, the key to effective 

treatment and rehabilitation depends 

on identifying hearing loss in the early stages 

and accepting treatment options including 

hearing devices. 

One of the most common complaints that 

hearing device users have is understanding 

speech while in noise. This is the most challenging 

and demanding listening environment 

for hearing device users. NuEar listened 

to this complaint and was able to develop a 

new hearing device that is able to make 

speech more audible even when noise is present 

using its innovative noise reduction and 

speech preservation system specifically designed 

to maintain speech understanding in 

noise and reduce listening effort. This device 

is the latest hearing technology available. 

Another great feature of the VIVID 

SPEECH device is its ability to reduce the annoyance 

of wind. This is especially important 

in Southern Alberta as wind noise is a major 

concern for hearing aid users. 

NuEar has the industry-leading feedback 

cancellation system that virtually eliminates 

buzzing and whistling and this feature is standard 

on the VIVID SPEECH device. This enables 

the user to be much more comfortable 

and confident while wearing their device. The 

other benefit of this feedback system is the 

practitioner is able to make the devices much 

smaller and more discrete hearing devices 

that are barely visible. 

There are different levels of technology 

available. Everyone has different needs from 

their hearing devices and therefore it is very 

important to have a good relationship with 

your Hearing Practitioner in order to know 

which level would benefit the user the most. 

Whether it is best-in-class features, a beautifully 

designed look or both – with NuEar, 

there is a hearing device to best suit your life- 

style and hearing needs. 

NuEar’s VIVID SPEECH is exclusively 

available at Lethbridge Hearing Centre, located 

behind Montana’s Restaurant at #120 2037 

Mayor Magrath Dr. S. Call 403-320-6000 to 

make your appointment for your personal 

consultation with Candice Elliott, BC-HIS 

and hear what VIVID SPEECH can do for 

you or your loved one.

A hoot and a holler 

The Owl Acoustic Lounge opens its doors to Lethbridge 

By Jennifer Prosser 


Genuine atmosphere with great food, 

plenty on tap, and excellent tunes is really all 

Lethbridge could ask for. 

For Steven Foord, the well respected comanager 

of the now former Henotic and a 

fixture in the Lethbridge music scene, and 

Mel Dominguez, former head chef at Henotic, 

opening a new place for music and food 

lovers to come together is the perfect answer. 

The Owl Acoustic Lounge celebrated 

its grand opening Saturday, June 26th with 

friends, family and musicians. Nosh and libations 

were enjoyed to the stripped down, 

acoustic folk stylings of Hank and Lily. 

The flattering lighting, the top – line 

sound system, and the bright venue offered 

a perfect place for this amazing duo, not to 

mention the perfect atmosphere for an enjoyable 

evening. 

The Owl Acoustic Lounge is a very different 

sort of venue then Lethbridge has seen 

previously, and this difference is what Steve 

hopes will lead to its success. First and foremost, 

it is about promoting the local music scene. 

Foord has been a long time participant 

in Lethbridge’s music scene, and he believes 

that here and now is the pinnacle, that the 

scene is at a high point unseen before. Of 

course, this is due to the people who have 

worked tirelessly to promote Lethbridge and 

southern Alberta, and to open it up for all 

genres not just the well - known folk acts. 

“I’m really passionate about the music 

scene here, I want people to see what I see in 

it”, he explains. Foord credits Jason, former 

owner of Henotic, and Paul Lawton, founder 

of Mammoth Cave Music Festival, for a good 

deal of the growth in Lethbridge over the 

past few years. 

At the Owl, he wants to bring Lethbridge’s 

homegrown talent to the ears of folks who 

may not venture into The Slice, or into the 

Wolfs Den. Instead of competing with those 

venues, and all others, the Owl Acoustic 

Lounge will compliment them. 

It is meant to offer a more casual style of 

music consumption. Think the intimate atmosphere 

of MTV unplugged with upscale 

beverages, and great food. 

The shows will be earlier, starting at 7pm 

and ending around 10pm. The music will be 

softer, allowing conversation to ebb and flow 

to the melody. The artists will be all acoustic 

based, or at least acoustic modified, and they 

will offer something for all ears. 

Foord has set an expectation he is determined 

to live up to. Friday and Saturday 

nights offer live music for the patrons, 

and not a house band. Touring bands, local 

bands, just starting out bands; Foord believes 

in first and second chances and the value of 

sheer talent. 

Owl Acoustic Lounge will also feature a 

designated, permanent merchandise table 

where patrons can purchase local music, 

merch from touring acts that have passed 

through and locally produced art. 

Steve loves the idea of continuing the 

Henotic tradition of featuring local artists as 

the Owl’s decor. He is also interested in setting 

up small portfolios for each artist showcased 

to enable patrons to familiarize themselves 

with them. This will hopefully lead to 

more art sales and an even greater support of 

Lethbridge’s artist community. 

When discussing Henotic, his inspiration 

in many ways, Steve acknowledges its 

influence. “Realistically, I have no shame in 

comparing (the Owl) to Henotic. It feels like 

it opened a lot of doors.” He is sure to remind 

Lethbridge though that, “its going to be its 

own animal.” 

With the aspiration to become a go - to 

place for music, food, and drinks, Foord has 

no shortages of high goals. Goals he believes 

Lethbridge will deliver on. His faith in the 

city is compelling. 

Lethbridge is known for not always supporting 

its own. The nickname, “last minute 

Lethbridge” is all too true and discouraging to 

those taking a risk on a new act or a large endeavor. 

The Owl is truly an animal of a different 

nature though, and with the promise of 

great food, drinks, and live music it will no 

doubt become a favourite spot for many. 

Foords amazing ability to anticipate 

people’s needs, and Dominguez’s fantastic 

fare will be the keys to making the Owl a 

success. If Foords excitement and passion is 

any indicator, he will not be satisfied until it 

is anything but.

The Norland turns one hundred and 

everyone is invited 

By Lisa Doerksen 


One of Lethbridge’s grandest historic 

sites will celebrate its birthday in high style 

July 4th, and the entire community is invited 

to the party. 

The Norland, an historic Victorian-style 

mansion just east of Lethbridge, turns one 

hundred this year and to celebrate its opening 

its doors to the public as part of a garden 

party complete with snacks, entertainment 

and carriage rides reminiscent of the grand 

home’s era. 

Event promoter Joshua Fritz says organizers 

are hoping everyone will come enjoy what 

has been planned. 

“We wanted to celebrate a significant piece 

of history,” he says. “Obviously, a centennial 

year is a big year, so we thought we would do 

this event.” 

Fritz notes all ages are welcome at the 

party. “This is about home and family,” he 

says, “we want families to come out and enjoy 

spending time together.” 

The historic home and it’s five-acre property 

will be open to guests from 1:30 - 5:30 

p.m. July 4th. The event requires a business 

attire dress code and features a diverse lineup 

of entertainment, including classical music 

by the Musaeus quartet and guitarist Dale 

Ketcheson. 

“We wanted to enjoy classical music fitting 

with the elegant property,” says Fritz. 

A highlight of the afternoon will be a 

4:30 p.m. Spanish flamenco performance 

by the Fiona Malena Flamenco Ensemble 

of Calgary. The group will perform under a 

5,400-square-foot high-peak pole tent that 

sits on the property to host weddings, receptions 

and other special events. 

Also planned for the afternoon is a dressage 

horse riding event at Don Toney’s outdoor 

riding arena just north of the Norland 

on South Sunnyside Road. Fritz notes the 

arena is just a short walk from the Norland 

property. 

Guests can also enjoy a ride on a historic 

carriage courtesy of Cardston’s Remington 

Carriage Museum, a portrait opportunity, 

hors’ doevres and self-guided tours of the 

property and mansion. 

Built in 1910, the seven-bedroom, sevenbathroom 

mansion was the dream home of 

Missouri native Charles Roland Daniel and 

his wife Maurine. The couple purchased 2,000 

acres north of the jail in Lethbridge, and built 

the 7,500-square-foot, three-storey colonial mansion. 

Reminiscent of homes common in the 

deep - south, the pre - fabricated house was 

ordered from a lumberman’s catalogue with 

each piece numbered and shipped ready for 

assembly. 

Daniel ran a dairy farm on the property, 

which became a popular location for family 

and friends to gather. 

Today the estate, located at the corner of 

Sunnyside Road South and Highway 512, is 

owned by Al and Karen Fritz; who run a bed 

and breakfast and host weddings and other 

special events on the site. 

Fritz says an opportunity will be provided 

to record memories of the property during the 

party, which will then be passed on to the Sir 

Alexander Galt Museum and Archives. 

“A lot of people have memories of the area,” 

he says, “we want to allow them to enjoy those 

memories by allowing them to come out 

here.” 

The event is presented in part by Davidson 

and Williams, one of the area’s oldest law 

firms. Established in 1885 by Charles Frederick 

Pringle Conybeare, Lethbridge’s first lawyer, 

the firm and the man were instrumental 

in much of the city’s history, including the 

establishment of what is now the Chamber 

of Commerce and the historic Southminster 

United Church on 4 Avenue South. 

Tickets for the event are $32 per adult. 

Children 12 and under are free. Tickets are 

available through the ticket centre by calling 

329-SEAT or will be available at the door. 

A portion of ticket sales will go toward 

the Gilead Foundation of Alberta, which is 

working toward establishing an addictions 

healing centre just north of Lethbridge. Fritz 

says centennial postcards will be sold for $1 

apiece and donations will be accepted for the 

carriage rides with all proceeds also going to 

the Foundation.

ATB grand opening mixes 

historic with cutting edge 

By Bill Axtell 



ATB Financial Paramont Theatre branch 

When you step into the brand-new ATB 

Downtown Branch, you will walk right into 

the future of banking, according to Jim Kellington, 

ATB Lethbridge Marketing Manager. 

Built as the anchor tenant for the historic 

Paramount Theatre building, ATB’s newest 

branch has opened to much larger quarters, 

new technologies and a new style of serving 

customers that rivals the best the banking industry 

has to offer, anywhere. 

“The new Lethbridge branch leads the 

ATB chain in innovation,” says Kellington, 

explaining their wireless internet access 

available to anyone with a laptop computer, 

a community meeting room available to the 

public, a live stock ticker, and a large screen 

TV in the lobby. 

“When you step in the door,” Kellington 

said, “the first thing you come to is a round 

table near the front doors with two mounted, 

laptop computers free for anyone to use. 

Both systems offer internet access for banking, 

checking e-mail or merely surfing the 

web.” 

“Take a deep breath and smell the popcorn,” 

he smiles. “We’re keeping the spirit of 

the Paramount Theatre alive by giving out 

free popcorn,” he said, adding that the Stu- 

dents’ Association at the Lethbridge College 

loaned ATB the popcorn machine for a “trial 

run” during the summer. 

“There’s a lot to be excited about,” says 

Rob Smith, ATB’s vice-president, south region, 

who offices in Lethbridge. “Besides this 

beautifully renovated heritage building, we’ll 

be a big part of Lethbridge’s downtown revitalization. 

We now offer a whole new experience,” 

he said, noting the spacious and 

comfortable spacious sit-down teller stations 

which replaced most of the traditional standup 

stations. 

“ATB opens its doors to everyone, not just 

customers,” Kellington emphasized, pointing 

to the free use of their community conference 

room, available on a reservation basis. 

“We’re now like a banking version of an internet 

cafe,” he added. 

The realization that ATB was rapidly 

running out of space came a few years ago 

as their former premises on 6th street filled 

up. “We were right to the gunnels in the 

old building,” Kellington said. “We not only 

housed our retail department, but also our 

wealth management department. We were 

shoulder to shoulder and needed to find 

more space.” 

As the ATB team began searching for 

space in downtown Lethbridge, they knew 

they could not go past 6th Avenue South nor 

East of Stafford Drive without leaving the 

downtown core. “Even the Park Place mall 

is outside of the traditional downtown core,” 

Kellington commented. 

“We looked and looked, but nothing 

came to fruition,” he said. “We could only 

find 4,000 to 5,000 square feet, which was 

far too small. Then one day, someone from 

Paramount Development Group contacted 

us with the great news that we could get 

13,700 square feet of office space spread over 

two floors, exactly suited to house our retail 

services, our wealth management advisors, 

Investor Services, and our Corporate Financial 

Service experts.” 

“We now have more space at our Mayor 

Magrath location by consolidating these departments 

downtown,” he said Kellington. 

Seeing that the Lethbridge Paramount 

Theatre “has an interesting history,” the theatre 

opened October 9, 1950, with a seating 

capacity of 960. The first movie screened was 

“Fancy Pants” starring Bob Hope and Lucile 

Ball. “You could see the movie for 45 cents 

for a matinee or 55 cents for evenings,” Kellington 

said, “or just 15 cents for children.” 

In 1968, the Paramount expanded to add 

another 450 new seats. It closed in 2007 after 

showing its last movie, “Pirates of the Carib- 

bean 3” starring Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush. 

“Everyone loves the old theatre setting,” 

Kellington pointed out, saying “it’s a benefit 

that we don’t have to re-advertise ourselves; 

everyone knows where the Paramount is.” 

“One of our new ideas is the full time presence 

of Kate, who is not just a greeter. She will 

make everyone feel comfortable with our new 

surroundings as she guides customers to the 

person they need to see. She makes eye contact, 

provides coffee, donuts or popcorn, and 

will come to know people by name; it’s just 

like the treatment a really nice hotel gives its 

guests.” He went on to explain that, “it’s all 

about interaction; meeting people’s needs. We 

want to be a part of downtown, part of its history, 

part of people’s memories.” 

“In the financial business, people will tell 

you their dreams,” Kellington said, thoughtfully, 

“then we go to work to find ways to make 

it happen. That means we aren’t just bankers, 

we’re dream-makers!” 

“True success is when our customer 

achieves their dreams,” Kellington summed 

it up. “Our goal is to get involved; whether 

it’s in community events or in people’s lives 

and needs, when people come to us we make 

things happen.” 


The new branch features laptop stations for internet banking, 

and a comfortable waiting area

Chrysler Ram selected 2010 ‘Truck of the Year’ 

By Bill Axtell 


It’s no wonder one sees so much excitement 

around Lethbridge’s Bridge City 

Chrysler these days. Motor Trend Magazine 

awarded the all-new Ram Heavy Duty truck 

the coveted “Truck of the Year” Award for 

2010. 

According to Jonas Arnoldussen, General 

Manager and Clarence Arnoldussen of 

the 23-year-old Lethbridge dealership, “this 

award is just what we needed to launch our 

sales growth like never before.” 

In announcing its annual truck award, the 

magazine said the Ram has what it calls “Star 

Power”, saying they found the Ram to be the 

hardest-working truck in the business. “The 

heavy-duty truck market has gotten smaller, 

but the guys who buy those pickups are 

fiercely loyal to the segment-they need the 

extreme capability these hard-working haulers 

provide. Some may wonder why anyone 

would own a truck that can tow nearly 20,000 

pounds, but for a lot of people in construction, 

those who transport vehicles or goods, 

and those with ranches, this is just a part of 

everyday life,” says Allyson Harwood, speaking 

for Motor Trend’s analysis which led to 

the award. 

Industry sources say that within the next 

few months, the heavy-duty category will 

heat up, as all three manufacturers have allnew 

offerings .The Ram Heavy Duty was 

the first to market and was the only truck to 

meet the 2010 federal emissions standards. 

When Ford and GM’s all-new heavy-dutys 

come out, both new diesel engines will require 

urea injection to meet the emissions 

requirements that became effective January 

2010. 

Arnoldussen quickly emphasized that 

Chrysler Corp’s Ram Heavy Duty’s Cummins 

inline-six turbodiesel, which puts out an im- 

We’re an AMA approved Full 

Service Auto Repair Facility and 

we’ve been servicing Southern 

Alberta for almost 30 years. 

Chris Tolley 

pressive 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet 

of torque, met those requirements -- without 

urea – a year earlier. “A urea fillup, required 

for the our competing models, adds additional 

cost and inconvenience” he said. 

Instead, the Ram 2500 and 3500 use a NOx 

adsorber with precious metals that convert 

the NOx into inert gases. 

Harwood went on to explain the rationale 

for awarding the Ram line is that “not only 

does this mean the Ram’s emissions and exhaust 

systems are less complex than competing 

models, a factor which could improve 

reliability and help keep maintenance costs 

down. Moreover, at the dealership, the Ram 

will very likely have a price advantage over 

its competitors. And while in this size category 

diesel is king, there are plenty of heavy-

duty truck buyers who prefer gas power. The 

5.7-liter Hemi, the Ram’s base engine, has 

the most horsepower (383) and torque (400 

pound-feet) of any V-8 in its class. 

Bridge City’s Arnoldussen sees a strong 

growth curve coming as increasingly better 

products arrive in the market. “With the 

new consolidation with Fiat, the company 

is very much alive and doing very well,” 

he said, confidently. “We are retaining and 

growing our market share,” he added. 

As proof of Arnoldussen’s assessment of 

the growth potential of his manufacturer, 

Chrysler Canada just announced a 53 per 

cent jump in sales for May, 2010, over May, 

2009, further citing these highlights:

Calendar year to date, Chrysler Canada sales 

are 28 per cent ahead of last year. The company 

also said it is level on the strength of a solid 

product offering and soaring confidence in the 

Chrysler. For the sixth consecutive month, retail 

sales increased more than 20 per cent on a 

monthly basis. 

Sales at Bridge City Chrysler over the 23 

years since the Arnoldussen family started 

the business have showed similar strength on 

more local level. “Chrysler Canada has four 

groups of dealers, ranked by size in terms of 

annual sales volume,” Arnoldussen explained. 

“There are approximately 450 Chrysler dealers 

in Canada and we are the only local Chrysler 

dealer in the top 10% for sales volume in Canada” 

he said, adding, “not bad for a medium 

sized market such as Lethbridge. 

The Arnoldussen family as always put serving 

the customer’s needs first in their daily 

conduct of business. “We believe that if we 

treat our customers and employees right, we 

will be successful,” he commented. “It’s always 

worked for us over the years.” 

“Our goal for the future is to have the best 

employees possible who are focused on providing 

excellent service to our customers. We 

understand the importance of continuous improvement.” 

Looking towards the future, Arnoldussen 

said every vehicle they now sell will be all 

new or significantly refreshed over the next 24 

months. 

“It’s a great time to be a Chrysler dealer,” he 

noted. “People need to come and see for themselves 

that our trucks, our cars, our sport utilities, 

and all our products are the best we have 

ever had.”

Enmax Centre’s new man 

Kim Gallucci has his work cut out for 

him. 

Gallucci, 46, is the newly-hired general 

manager of the Enmax Centre. He has taken 

over the job in the midst of a major renovation 

project, and while he’s very busy, he says 

he’s settling well into his new position. 

“It’s a steep learning curve, but it’s also 

very exciting. They have a great team here, a 

really dedicated group of people,” he explains. 

Gallucci is currently learning the ins and 

outs of the Lethbridge marketplace, and his 

main focus continues to be the ongoing construction 

project, in addition to his duties 

involving marketing, budgeting, and event 

attraction. While the learning curve may be 

steep, Gallucci is far from an amateur – he 

comes to the Lethbridge from Saskatoon, 

where he was CEO of TCU Place, a major 

arts and convention centre. He was also chair 

of Saskatoon Sports Tourism and sat on the 

Convention Saskatoon group, as well as the 

bid committee that succeeded in winning the 

2007 Juno Awards for Saskatoon. 

“I love the business, it’s very interesting. 

It’s creative, it’s challenging, and there’s 

never a dull moment. Every time you think 

you have it figured out, it will throw you a 

curveball just to remind you that you haven’t 

figured out anything yet,” Gallucci explains. 

“You can’t really get bored, that’s for sure. 

Once you’re captivated by that, it tends to 

hold you. You don’t really leave the industry, 

because it keeps you interested.” 

Born and raised in Saskatoon, Gallucci 

got his start in the industry after graduating 

from the University of Saskatchewan with a 

degree in economics, experience he says is 

extremely valuable in his current work. 

“I really enjoyed that – trying to determine 

the future based on what’s happening now,” 

he says, adding that such skills carry over into 

many aspects of business and industry. 

While attending school, Gallucci began 

working at TCU Place, and he stayed there for 

many years before deciding to make the move 

to Lethbridge, saying he enjoyed the idea of

In Lethbridge, he hopes to create new opportunities 

and diversify into all kinds of new 

events for the Enmax. 

Meanwhile, his family is preparing to 

make the move to Lethbridge – his two sons 

will be arriving in time for the new school 

year in August, while his wife will arrive in 

October after finishing her work at the U of S. 

Gallucci says he has noticed a lot of similarities 

between the two cities, including the 

fact that they both have river valleys, great 

parks systems, and well-known research facilities. 

“It’s been shocking to me how similar the 

two communities are,” he says, adding that he 

believes his family will feel right at home in 

Lethbridge. 

“I’m really excited to be here - it’s a very 

interesting, fun community I’m finding.”

Clean air, it’s all 

about filtration 

By Chris Schimanski 


This weeks article, I would like to briefly discuss furnace 

filtration. As a consumer there are plenty of filter options for 

you to choose from. They range in cost from a few dollars up 

to hundreds of dollars, but which furnace filter is the right 

one? 

Firstly, what a furnace filter can do for you. 

Traditionally, furnace filters were designed to protect the 

furnace and fans. With increased air quality awareness, some 

filters are now being installed to reduce exposure to particles 

which can affect your health. 

There is a wide variety of furnace filters available. However, 

you may find it confusing to select one which is suitable. 

This purpose of this document is to provide you with guidance 

when selecting your furnace filter. 

What airborne particles are found in your home? The 

particles you breathe in your home come from a variety of 

sources, including: 

- dust on floors or other surfaces that is disturbed by 

activity in the house; 

- dust generated by smoking, burning candles, cooking, 

doing laundry, etc.; 

- hair and skin flakes from humans or pets; 

- particles from the outside air which come into your home 

with infiltrating air. 

You can see the particles of dust which accumulate on 

your television screen, shelves, and furniture. But you can’t 

see the respirable particles. Respirable particles can be easily 

inhaled into your lungs and provoke respiratory illness. 

Although you would probably like to keep visible dust out 

of your home, the main health risk comes from respirable 

particles, which include tobacco smoke, spores, bacteria, and 

viruses. 

How you reduce levels of respirable particles: 

- removing footwear on entry; 

- keeping major dust generators (smoking, pets, etc.) out 

of the house; 

- reducing dust collecting surfaces (open shelves, carpets, 

upholstered furniture, etc.): 

- diligent and frequent vacuuming with an efficient vacuum 

cleaner; 

- reducing the entry of particle-laden outdoor air by 

closing windows, improving house air tightness, and 

installing an intake filter on the air supply; 

- using a good furnace filter. 

Typed of filters available: 

i) 25 mm (1”) premium media filter 

ii) Charged media type electronic 

iii) 100 mm (4”) pleated media filter 

iv) High efficiency bypass filters, such as a HEPA (high 

efficiency particle arrestor) 

v) Electronic plate and wire (ESP) 

Most of these recommendations will also reduce the 

amount of visible dust in your house. 

Remember that your furnace filter must be changed every 

30 days if your using disposable filters and washed if your using 

reusable filters. 

A trained indoor air quality technician can ensure that the 

right filter is used.

BUSINESS TIP 

Ask the Coach 

The gains of marketing 

By Greg Stonehocker 


The least expensive way to get more customers 

is to increase the value of the customers 

you’ve already got. You must look at 

them in terms of lifetime value, or the dollar 

amount they will generate over the longterm, 

rather than just a one-off transaction. 

Part of this mindset starts with looking 

at your business as a total marketing entity, 

rather than just a production, service or retail 

entity. The big reason for this is it allows 

you to see all marketing expenses as investments 

– investments that generate a return, 

or ROI. 

It will also help you accept the reality that 

when you buy your customers, it will always 

be your biggest expense; it will also be your 

most profitable. 

Making your creative visions come alive is perhaps the most exciting thing about 

graphic design. Professionals in this field spend their time conceptualizing and creating 

for diverse brands and often get to work on different projects all the time. 

GRAPHIC DESIGN TECHNIqUES 

Conceptualization is a very important part of graphic design. You must be able to 

compile and follow creative briefs in order to work for a variety of clientele. Whether 

it’s designing a new corporate logo, overseeing the development of an entire brand or 

designing a website, conceptualization plays a huge role in the creative process. 

VISUAL ARTS 

Before any graphic elements may be applied to a design, the graphic elements must 

be originated by means of visual art skills. These graphics are often developed by a 

graphic designer. Visual arts include works which are primarily visual in nature using 

anything from traditional media, to photography or computer generated art. Graphic 

design principles may be applied to each graphic art element individually as well as to 

the final composition. 

TYPOGRAPHY 

Never underestimate the importance of colour and typography in your design work. 

They are cogs in the wheel and can make or break a project. Learning the basics in 

these graphic design courses can go a long way in ensuring you have the knowledge 

base to make your designs stand out above the rest. 

COMPUTER GRAPHIC DESIGN 

So what do I mean by “buying” your 

customers? Instead of “selling” to your customers, 

“buying” your customers opens up 

a world of possibilities. Instead of guessing 

how much to spend on sales and marketing, 

“buying” your customers means you know 

exactly how much to spend on your marketing 

in order to generate revenue. 

First off, you need to determine the acquisition 

cost of your current customer. If 

you’ve put $1000 into advertising and had 

100 phone calls, you’re paying $10 for each 

lead. If only 5 of those leads make a purchase, 

you’re paying $50 to capture each sale. 

Once you know how much it costs to 

buy a customer, you can then start thinking 

about the consequences of a customer’s 

lifetime value. Knowing this value – which 

is simply the amount of money your average 

customer will spend with you over a buying 

lifetime, will help you make better decisions 

In order to succeed in the world of graphic design, students must learn how to work 

with key industry software like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver; all of 

which are covered in the Computer Graphic Design courses at Reeves College. 

OF THE WEEK: 

www.hire-standard.com 

about the overall direction of your business. 

Let’s look at a company where an average 

customer would spend around $800 and 

shop there for about 5 years. This would 

mean that the lifetime value of that customer 

would be $4000. 

Now imagine you created a program that 

both produced and rewarded referrals. Say 

that single customer now had incentive to refer 

two new customers to me. Suddenly, that 

customer is worth $12,000. What if those 

new referrals sent more referrals? How much 

value is that initial contact worth now? More 

importantly, what would I be willing to do to 

keep that customer? 

This long-term view of customer value is 

essential. Only when you realize a customer’s 

lifetime value do you see the importance of 

developing great relationships with your customers. 

That way, you’ll do whatever it takes 

to keep them for a very long time. 

The ultimate goal of all that effort, of 

course, is to build a loyal base of raving 

fans.”To paraphrase Jeffrey Gitomer: customer 

satisfaction is worthless, but customer 

loyalty is priceless. 

How do you get your customers to be 

loyal to your business?

Employers: It costs more to replace 

a bad hire than to take the steps 

make the right hire in the first place! 

Call Hire Standard for help with any 

step of your employment process. 

You start with your existing base of customers. 

Start tapping into your database. Begin 

to develop a rapport with your customers. 

Start sending them letters, brochures, 

catalogues, or newsletters. Develop a loyalty 

club. Or just pick up the phone and thank 

your customers for their past business. 

Remember whatever you do, make sure 

it’s consistent, easy for people to buy from 

you, and finally, develop and introduce a 

WOW factor – where your customer’s expectations 

are surpassed each and every time. 

Creating a WOW is easier said than 

done. However, when you find your WOW, 

you must create a system to make sure your 

customer’s expectations are surpassed, every 

time. Every day you need to get better. And 

you need a plan that goes further than just 

providing great customer service. 

Combined, each of these areas will work 

together to give you an advantage in your 

market that outshines your competition no 

matter what the economy does. 

You’ll develop a great competitive advantage, 

and they’ll continue to say great things 

about you and your company to their friends 

and associates. That kind of repeat business 

is priceless.

HOW TO PLAY: The 

aim of Sudoku is to 

fill each row, column 

and 3x3 box with the 

numbers from 1 to 9 

inclusive. To begin, 

look at the digit that 

occurs most frequently. 

In whick rows, 

columns and boxes is 

it missing? Also look 

at rows, columns and 

boxes that are 

complete - which 

numbers are missing 

and where could they 

go? The rest is up to 

you.

HOROSCOPE 

Christine Davidson 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Sometimes, 

people need to hold secrets for 

a good, fortunate, or noble reason. 

There are secrets that are being 

shared and whispered but don’t 

let this play upon your suspicious 

tendencies. You are usually stronger 

and brighter, and perhaps, a little bit 

braver than most others around you. 

You will win in the end! 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Even though 

you may recall your first love quite 

strongly you should focus upon 

the love you currently feel for your 

romantic partner. Love can come in 

many forms. Avoid obstacles in your 

path by behaving in an intelligent or in 

a more self-serving (while remaining 

moral) manner. This is a spiritual, 

influential time. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Try to 

spend time outdoors with old friends. 

If this doesn’t suit your fancy, then 

spend time investigating secrets and 

mysteries with others as intuitive and 

clever as you. Don’t listen to everything 

that someone else has to say 

about a particular subject or person, 

even if it rings true in some ways it 

may be false. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If you are 

in doubt of what needs to be said or 

done, then something may show you 

the right direction to go in. Follow 

your feelings, family, and intuition. 

Secret actions may result in greater 

power. There could be something that 

you do in private that might help you 

acquire a degree of fame or notoriety. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you 

don’t fully understand what is going 

on then now is the correct time to ask 

questions and get answers. There 

may seem as if lessons are in store 

but only if you wish for them to be. 

It’s time for you to realise your true 

potential. Too often you have stood in 

the background. Share wisdom when 

you find worthy pupils.

Is your birthday this week? 

Others are attracted to your 

strength of character, reason, and 

resolve. You’re noble, kind, wise, 

perceptive, courageous, artistic, 

and intelligent. No matter what 

highs or lows you experience 

you’re a loyal and true partner in all 

forms of partnership. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): 

Don’t lose patience and don’t lose 

your resolve. Things may soon be 

taught and discussed. Sometimes, in 

life, certain knowledge may seem to 

elude us no matter what methods we 

utilise to garner information; however, 

due to your overwhelmingly influential 

ways, people may tell you nearly 

anything you wish to know. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): 

Cultivate allies with others who respect 

your ideals and career choices, 

however controversial they may be. 

Try to form romances with others as 

loyal, kind, and clever as you are. 

True love could have the potential to 

nurture and heal or harm and wither 

an individual depending on whom you 

choose to share your heart. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Try to 

spend time engaging in competitive 

fun and games to let off some steam 

and gain friends and confidence. It’s 

time to pay attention to what can truly 

bring the greatest amount of care, 

kindness, and nurture to those you 

love. What you once believed to be 

only child’s play you may have grown 

tired of. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There 

are adventures and creative games 

in store for you, but you’ll have to go 

out and pursue them. You seem to be 

able to magically glide and float past 

and over anything that could cause 

you any hindrance. Love may find a 

way in more ways than one over the 

next little while. Ardent passions may 

be stoked. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be sure 

that future goals are based on reality. 

Joining spiritual or artistic organisations 

may bring joy, luck, and gain. 

You are a truly unique and beautiful 

person whom many may envy and 

adore. It’s the right time to ask for 

favours and permission as others 

will wish to impress, befriend, and 

trust you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be discreet 

and modest in all things. Look 

to the sign of Gemini for more advice. 

Don’t be too surprised if you are given 

rewards of some kind for your recent 

hard work. If you’re looking to gain 

recognition for your efforts then work 

with the arts, healing, and spirituality. 

Don’t spread secrets, innuendo or 

lies.

HONOURED TO SERVE 

CREASEY 

It is with much love and sorrow that we announce 

the passing of JAMES MILTON (MILT) CREASEY on 

Wednesday, June 16, 2010 after a long siege with 

pulmonary fibrosis. 

He was born in Saskatchewan on July 18, 1933 and 

raised in Victoria. Milt was employed by BC Hydro, 

The Hudson Bay Company and later retired in 1990 

from the Administration at the University of Calgary. 

Survived by his loving wife Bunny, sons Paul and 

Peter, step-daughter Karen Gregus (Ken – 

deceased), step-son Larry Wilson (Daphne) and 

four step-grandchildren. Milt is also survived by his 

sisters Margaret Kent (Bob-deceased) and Alwyne 

Palmer (Hugh), brother-in-law Jim Jessop (Gladys), 

sister-in-law Ada Coupland and their families. 

Milt was predeceased by son Glen. 

The family of Milt wish to express their heartfelt 

thanks to Dr. Eric Wilde, Dr. Drew Sommerfeldt, the 

Home Care staff and nurse Paul Weiss, as well as 

the Doctors and nurses at St. Michael’s Palliative 

Care Unit. 

At Milt’s request, no funeral service will be held. 

If friends so desire, memorial donations may be

DOUGLAS 

DOUGLAS, RUBY LENA 

April 27, 1922 – June 19, 2010 

Ruby Douglas passed away at the Queen Elizabeth 

II Hospital in Grande Prairie, AB on June 19, 2010 

surrounded with love by her children – Linda, Jim, 

Marlene, Jack and Eileen, and by her grand children 

– Doug, Stacey, Cara, Crista, Jamie, Derrick and 

David. Other family not able to be with her – Sean, 

Garrett and Joe as well as Jan, Elijah, Jessie, David, 

Cheryl, Clint, Berkley and Garth. She was 88 years 

old. Waiting to greet her into loving arms on the 

other side were her beloved husband, Harvey “Doug” 

Douglas, adopted son Edward “Eddie” Stick, her 

parents John and Violet, sister Edna and brothers 

Henry and George. 

Ruby was born in La Grande, Oregon on April 27, 

1922 to John Williams and Violet (Duffield) 

Williams. Together with two sisters, Myrtle and 

Edna, and two brothers, Henry and George, the family 

moved to Cereal in southern Alberta and eventually 

to Bowden, Alberta where they farmed. In October 

1942, Ruby married Doug Douglas. Ruby and Doug 

had a very special love during more than 50 years of 

life together. In 1952, Ruby, with two children, Linda 

and James (“Jim”), followed Doug from Edmonton 

to Aishihik in the Yukon where their third child John 

(“Jack”) was born. In 1955, they moved to Watson 

Lake, Yukon where they became friends with Rudy & 

Janet Couture, Roy & Ellen Eby, Helen & Jim 

Stuart and Doug & Pearl Bell. These friendships 

were renewed when they all eventually moved to 

Whitehorse, Yukon – those friendships survive to 

this day. As a teenager, Eddie Stick became part 

of the Douglas family in Whitehorse where Ruby 

worked for the Federal Department of 

Communications. She was an avid curler and 

square dancer and she loved to play cards. Ruby 

and Doug were always the best dancers on the floor. 

They remained in the Yukon until they both retired to 

Balfour, BC in 1979. They later moved to 

Lethbridge, AB to be closer to family. After her 

beloved Doug died in Lethbridge in 1997, Ruby 

moved to Grande Prairie to be closer to her children. 

Ruby genuinely cared about everyone she met. She 

became a second Mom to many of her children’s 

friends who still call her Mom Douglas. Ruby made 

life-long friends wherever she went and always 

had a huge meal and kind words for everyone who 

graced her door. 

Ruby is survived by her sister Myrtle as well as her 

children, grand children and great-grand children. 

We love you and we will miss you. 

Ruby’s family would like to thank the 5 North nurses, 

especially Pam and Michelle, and Dr. Wang who 

took such wonderful care of our Mom. 

A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.

Regional Hospital on Thursday, June 17, 2010 at the 

age of 79 years.

will be lovingly remembered and always missed 

by his four children: Cathy Pearse (Tim Biemler), 

Yvonne Archibald, Sandy Keller and Ed (Nicholle) 

Pearse, as well as his 7 grandkids: Corey, Justin

Ray is also survived by his 2 sisters Faye Bosch and 

Bernice (Alex) Halabey, as well as nephews: Dan,

Edna Pearse. 

He was a loving, caring father and friend. His 

greatest passions were restoring antique cars, 

trucks and tractors. Ray was a founding member 

of the Prairie Tractor and Engine Club. He enjoyed 

attending and participating in tractor shows. For 

many years he spoke of trying to go south to attend 

one of the largest tractor shows around. A few years 

ago he was able to make that dream a reality. It was 

something he was very excited about and spoke of 

it fairly often. 

Ray was also very passionate about dancing, he and 

Wanda attended old time dances and jams regularly. 

Ray will always be loved and remembered by his 

family and friends. Our memories of Ray will always 

be cherished. We love you Dad.
