Eighth Annual Loop Around The LakeRunner’s lace up to raise funds for the Chestermere Public Library

By Michelle Young

Despite some less then ideal weather, the 8th Annual Loop Around the Lake took place on Sunday June 26th. The race saw over 170 participants running either a 12k, 5k and even some younger runners taking part in the kids 1k. Since 2008, the Loop Around the Lake

has been held to raise funds for the Chestermere Public Library, which opened its doors in 2007. Event organizer, Ber-nard Malliet stated when he created this event eight years ago, “With long term goals of raising over $100,000 for the Li-brary over the next ten years, this is hoped to be a successful, annual event”. To date, this annual race has raised over

$70,000 by way of participant’s regis-trations fees and generous community donors, which the Chestermere Public Library is very thankful for.“Despite the early hour, wind and rain

on Sunday morning 157 runners and walkers and many volunteers came out for this year’s “Loop Around the Lake” benefitting Chestermere Public Library. Thanks go to Bernie Maillet, Iron man extraordinaire, who is the vision behind this event, which has now completed its eighth year and Cathy Burness, Library Assistant Director who coordinated the

volunteers. Both of them put so much time and effort into making this a great event in Chestermere and it was great to see so many families participating as well as serious runners.” said Marilyn King, Chair of the Library Board. King continued, “Many of the 12km

and 5m runners return for this race each year but it was also neat to see lots of new faces. This year we had whole families involved and even a group from Chestermere Veterinary clinic with their dogs. I have to say my favourite part of the day is seeing all the kids setting off for the 1km…….future athletic stars in the making, definitely. A big thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors: without you this event wouldn’t be possible or such a success each year”. Chestermere resident, Stacey Butler, said

that this year of the Loop Around The Lake brought a very special guest along. “I would really love to acknowledge a great teacher from Rainbow Creek who took time out of his busy life to run a 5km run with my daughter Caley Butler. Sean Hartley is passionate about running and so is my daughter”. At the time of this article, the race results

were not yet posted but congratulations to all those who participated.

A Look Back On The Life Of A Chestermere LegendThe amazing life of Ada Rawlins

By Michelle Young

In 1937 when Ada Rawlins entered this world, I’m sure her family had no idea the impression that this remark-able woman would leave behind. Ada passed away this past April, just a month shy of her 79th birthday. I met with some of her family members recently to get to know Ada and although the emotions of her loss were still very

much on the surface, they shared some amaz-ing stories and memo-ries.Rex Rawlins, who

still resides in the family home here in Chestermere, reflected on how he met the true love of his life. Rex, who was born in Trinidad but is now a proud Canadian Citizen, followed a career path in mathematics, which lead him to a career as a geophysicist. “I first met Ada in an incident in Dawson Creek. Two companions and myself were walking down the street one-day and we thought we had the right of the whole sidewalk and she (Ada) and a cou-ple of her friends were coming the opposite way towards us. I didn’t have a parka, I didn’t even know what a parka was, so I had a big overcoat on. We walked towards them and they had to get off the sidewalk to let us pass and later on

when we met again, she remember me and my coat as I was transferred to Maple Creek some time later and who should I meet in Maple Creek? She recognized my coat and me because it was coming on cold weather and she mentioned that I should have a parka. My roommate then, his girlfriend was Ada’s roommate… and that was that”.

Ada and Rex went on to live over sixty years of happily ever after and had two sons, Rey and Rab, three grand-sons and two great-grandsons.Ada and Rex moved out to Chestermere in the late

1960’s from Airdrie and she quickly became involved in the community. Eventually serving three terms as a Chestermere Councilor, Rex reflects on the things his feisty wife fought for. “There was a meeting over at the rec hall and she voiced her opinion and some people came to her afterwards and said to her ‘why don’t you run for council?’. So she did and became a councilor. She was acclaimed her second term and she ran for her third term, reluctantly, because she was disgusted. Her campaign consisted of one page that she had typed up and put up a few places – and she was elected anyway. After that she got really disgusted as it was always 6-1 votes and she had to fight for everything”, reflected Rex.Ada was hugely responsible for getting the Chestermere

Public Library in place along with her friend, Maxine McKellar. “As a matter of fact, one councilor at the time actually said ‘you don’t need a library here because the people in Chestermere don’t read’”, said Rex. But with our library now very much alive after more than 10 years, I think it’s safe to say that Ada made a safe bet. I reached out to Maxine McKellar and Marilyn King

regarding their dear friend Ada. “We both met her thru a desire to have a Library here in Chestermere. I met her in the fall of 2001 in the old town hall council chambers at a meeting she organized to put together to form a Library Board in the hopes of eventually having a Library in Chestermere. Marilyn met her 2 years later when she was at the town hall looking for the library in Chestermere (we didn’t have one yet) and Ada introduced herself and basically told her to show up at the Library Board meet-ing that evening. We knew we would be successful in our quest with Ada’s passion and determination leading us. She was a very passionate and determined woman who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind! She was definitely an integral part of us having our very own Library here in Chestermere”, says McKellar. Marilyn King added, “As far as I’m concerned Ada was

the main reason I got involved with the library. I was

already persuaded that the community of Chestermere needed a library and was shocked 14 years ago to find there wasn’t one. The day I went on a hunt for it (the library), I met Ada Rawlins who told me about a group that were meeting to get something started. Her passion showed through and she had the knack of drawing like-minded people. The fact that ourlibrary is now so successful is a credit to her passion and

determination. Iwas shocked to hear she had passed away”.Not only did Ada fight for the library, but also to get a

spray park built in Chestermere – which is a fight that many residents over the years have tried to get imple-mented in our city and have yet to win. Her family said that Ada even secured a grant for the construction of a spray park, but those funds ended up getting reallocated

to John Peake Park – something that Ada was less than happy about. She was also very determined to bring commercial and

industrial businesses to Chestermere, and her family said that her fellow counsellors shot her down constantly on this. “The majority of them felt that Chestermere was to remain exclusive and upscale and they fought her every time she brought it up”, says Rex. Ada then threw her hat in the ring for Mayor and Rex

says that not one of her fellow counsellors supported her and she was defeated by our current Mayor, Patricia Matthews. “She simply said ‘that’s life’. She was a very understanding person – far more understanding that I would have been”, laughed Rex. Despite no longer be-ing on council, Ada stayed very active in the Chestermere community.

Ada took her political passions much farther than Chestermere as she was involved in both Provincial and Federal politics. Meeting everyone and befriending eve-ryone from Ralph Klein, to the Queen, to Peter Lougheed and many many more– Ada was well known in all politi-cal circles and will now we dearly missed. Known for her quick wit, passion for her community,

love of politics and a deep love of her family, it goes with-out saying that her family, friends and community will miss her dearly. Rex added, “Since she passed, I’ve spent a lot of time looking through her paper work and the things that were written about her and I don’t know how she did it all. The family, her work, her friends the com-munity…. I didn’t realize who she really was and what she really had done in her life until she was gone. There are days I wish I could have gone with her”.

A History of Getting Along with Your NeighbourFrom the very beginning when humans

lived near one another, they have had to contend with the ups and downs of being neighbourly. The earliest religious and legal documents sought ways of helping find peace between neighbours. Moses gave God’s laws, a cornerstone of which was to “love your neighbour as yourself.” In ancient Babylon, the law code of Ham-murabi had multiple laws to punish those who cheated or stole from their neigh-bours.The word ‘neighbour’ is from the old

english word ‘neahgebur’ which means ‘near’ (nigh) & ‘dwelling’ (bur); so “the person who lives near your home.” Another translation says that ‘nigh-bour’ more precisely means “he who tills the next piece of land to mine.” Yet history shows that as long as people have lived near each other, they have also struggled to get along.One of the more humorous stories

comes from 1333 London when one fam-ily complained that their neighbours had removed the walls of the outhouse they shared together. Whether out of malice or as a prank, they were furious saying that it was “a thing which is an abomination and altogether intolerable.” Humanity has a long history of getting into fights with their neighbours, form outhouse antics and barking dogs, to gossip and litigation, many found that loving their neighbours was not an easy command to follow. It takes wisdom and selflessness to over-come obstacles to caring for our neigh-bours. It’s a lot easier to curse than bless.Thankfully throughout history, and today,

the very best qualities of neighbourliness

have risen to the surface. Some of the most impressive stories come from times when neighbours have helped each other out. Even today we are impressed by Mennonite or Amish communities where hundreds of neighbours come together to raise a barn in just one day; a stunning reminder of what people can do for each other, together.This sense of cooperation between

neighbours is what sets civilized nations and communities apart from the rest. On May 17, 1961, President John F. Kennedy addressed the Canadian Parliament in Ot-tawa. A now-famous line from his address brought into sharp focus the power that comes from being good neighbours. He said, “Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Econom-ics has made us partners. And necessity has made us allies. Those whom nature hath so joined together, let no man put asunder.”When neighbours make a point of work-

ing for each others’ good, we do more than just offer a kindness, we demonstrate that we are able to rise above thousands of years of squabbling, cursing, and fighting that has defined much of human history. If we contend for peace in the Middle East or civility in US politics, then we need to be those who demonstrate all the more goodwill towards the people who we share our fences with. Perhaps Chestermere will one day be a

welcomed chapter in the history of neigh-bourliness, a celebrated little community in Alberta that found ways to care for each other; reimagining what loving their neighbours could really mean.

New Curriculum For Alberta StudentsProvince looking for direction from Albertans

By Michelle Young

As the school year is winding down and students are have their sights set on summer, Alberta Education al-ready has their sights on what students will be learning in years to come.On June 15th, Education Minister David Eggen an-

nounced that Alberta Education would be seeking input from the residents of Alberta as to what curriculum will be coming to Alberta’s classrooms.Alberta Education’s new approach to developing curric-

ulum will span six years and work will be done simulta-neously on six subject areas: Arts, Language Arts (English, French, Français), Mathematics, Social Studies, Sciences, and Wellness.“This government is commit-

ted to developing curriculum - including the fundamentals of reading, writing and math - that ensures children have the best possible start in life to prepare them for reward-ing careers in a diversified economy. Critical subject areas have not been updated in many years, so this work is long overdue. This new process will allow us to fulfil our commitments to educate our students about the history, perspectives and contributions of our Francophone, First Na-tions, Métis and Inuit peoples and communities.”, said David Eggen, Minister of Education.The plan according to the release from the Province

states that future provincial curriculum in all subjects will have a common design and student-centred direc-tion, which will ensure consistency across the K-12 curriculum. It is anticipated that this will make it easier for teachers to plan across subjects. It will also enhance the ability of those teachers who are teaching multiple subjects across grade levels to provide a more cohesive program, improving the overall learning experience for students and reducing teachers’ planning time.Mark Ramsankar, President, Alberta Teachers’ Associa-

tion commented,” Sleeker programs, allowing teachers to go more in-depth and to bring in more local elements, will ensure that our programs remain engaging, fulfill-ing and responsive to student needs. Teachers and the profession are excited for the changes and look forward to partnering with government on curriculum develop-ment.”The role out for these changes should look something

like this:• New curriculum will be developed for Kindergarten

to Grade 4 by late 2018. Grades 5 will follow that to 8 in late 2019. After that, our high school cur-riculum will be developed in phases from 2020 to 2022.

• Current curriculum remains in effect until new cur-riculum is implemented.

So what will all this cost Albertans? The costs for this new curriculum development are funded through cur-rent budget allocations according the Provincial Govern-ment and no new money is required. The cost over six fiscal years is estimated at $64,430,684. This includes

$38,850,000 for staffing, $20,394,684 for the engagement strategy and

$5,186,000 for CDA.I reached out to Rocky View

Schools Trustee Bev LaPeare who said, “I haven’t seen what the new curricu-lum is going to look like, however, I do believe that the voice of parents want-ing to have a balanced approach to literacy and

numeracy has been heard. Kids need to have a good

understanding of the founda-tions of education in terms of literacy and numeracy before they move on to more complex

ideas. The Minister spoke to us at the ASBA SGM in Red Deer about

the fact that this is the first time that 6 courses have been revamped at

the same time. They’re trying to move the curriculum to reflect the current reality in terms of what our students need. There’s so much new information that kids are go-ing to be able to be the recipients of that wasn’t a part of the old curriculum. Computer coding, FNMI history and relevance and mental health education are all new and very relevant for our kids. Our students are quite clear in terms of wanting to be taught material that is authentic and relevant. We’ve heard that loud and clear during focus groups that we’ve had with our students. We all learn better when we know that what we’re learning is pertinent to our lives”. LaPeare continued saying, “Although the ministry has

stated that there will be consultation taking place, we haven’t been told as a Board that we’ll be a specific part of it. I’m not sure how much consultation will affect the curriculum though, given the quick timeframe in which it’s being built”.

Martin Shields Member of Parliament for

Bow River

As we approach Canada Day, I continue to be awed by the beauty of our great country. Canada is indeed the greatest nation on earth, and I believe that

we have the greatest citizens. Despite being a relatively young country

in terms of world history, we have a very good legacy which we can all take great pride in. This year, we celebrate our 149th an-

niversary of Confederation. That was such an important date in Canada’s history as for the first time, the colonies of British North America finally realized that only by uniting as a single entity, could they real-ize their full potential. We know that we can be proud of

Canada’s past. But we can also be very excited for what the future holds. Our people, vast territory, natural resources, and innovative society mean that the 21st century really can belong to the people of Canada. Canada Day is an important time to get

together with family and friends, in order

to celebrate all of the Canada’s achieve-ments. We celebrate pride in country, pride in our history. We celebrate the strength of Canadian culture. We cel-ebrate the contributions of Canada’s First Nations. We celebrate the fact that Canadians are the most open and gener-ous people in the world. I think we can celebrate the fact that we welcome with open arms a high number of new Canadi-ans, who immigrate here to make it their home. This is a country built by immi-grants, and they helped make it the great place that it is today. We can take time to celebrate all the

great achievements of Canadians both here and abroad. Think of the Canadarm, which assists efforts in space. A Canadian medical team discovered insulin. Think about the Crash Position Indicator used on aircraft. That was an invention of the National Research Council, a Canadian government lab! Think about Pablum for babies, also a Canadian invention. I hope that you will have an enjoy-

able Canada Day spent with family and friends, and I hope to see you at one of the multitude of events occurring across Bow River this year. My staff continue to be available to assist you over the summer months, and can be contacted in Ottawa at [email protected] or 613-992-0761. You can also contact my Brooks office at [email protected] or at 1-844-241-0020.

Get Involved—Red Ribbon Gearing Up!

Submitted By: Jen Peddlesden Chestermere Ag Society Red Ribbon Coordinator

Gardens are growing, quilters are quilt-ing, artists are painting, wine is aging—and it is eleven weeks until competition day at the Chestermere Ag Society Red Ribbon Competition September 9th and 10th. Time to think about getting involved with this, the longest running Chestermere event now in its 27th year. Back in 1989 it was exciting to see 300 entries, today there are more than a thou-sand in the eleven sections with opportu-nities for adults and children to compete. Prize monies from donors are coming in, and a list of those generous business and individuals can be seen in the booklet ( online at https://www.facebook.com/ChestermereCountryFair/?fref=ts ) and available at City Hall, Waiting Room Café,

at the Saturday Farmer’s Market at the Library, and CRCA. But none of this will happen without new and enthusiastic volunteers! Thanks to those who have helped these past years, but there are lots of opportunities available for new helpers at this exciting Ag Society event. Adults and teens are invited to assist with pie making on Wed Sept 7th for the annual STARS old fashioned pie auction on the Saturday (learn to make pastry!), assis-tance needed for set up and decoration Thursday Sept 8th, and help with taking in entries and assisting judges (get up close with judges!) on September 9th. Then when the ‘curtain rises’ and doors open on Saturday at 10am help is needed at the Red Ribbon front desk to monitor the display and hand out prizes. If you would be interested in helping you can send a PM through the FB page or call Pat 403 273 5108 or email her at [email protected]

On Sunday June 26th the Bow Valley Beef and Multi 4H Club held their Year End Banquet and Awards at the Indus Recreation Centre. This family event had members of the Bow Valley 4H club, their families, sponsors and buyers, whom held raised over $67,000 for this 4H club. 4-H is a youth organization committed to developing

outstanding leaders with marketable skills to succeed in today’s society. As a dedicated province wide program, 4-H offers programs, trips, awards and scholarships for members and families.For over 90 years, the 4-H organizations say they

understand that youth want to be involved, accepted, valued and heard. That’s why 4-H clubs are great places for youth to learn and grow. In 4-H, youth run the show. 4-H clubs typically meet once a month as a large group, where youth of all ages take on different leadership roles to make decisions and plan events. Clubs organize fun outings, achievement days and fundraisers, and partici-pate in various activities within their communities. At this year-end event, I spoke with a few parents as to

why they enrolled their kids in the 4-H program. Com-

ments like “it is a great way to keep them connected to the community without having to join a sport” and “it teaches them skills that they can take with them through-out their lives” were just some of the feedback from some of the member’s parents. One dad reflected on his own childhood growing up on

the family farm in northern Alberta and wanting to pass that on to his children, despite living in Calgary. “My kids are farm kids trapped in the city….so the 4-H program is a great way to keep them connected to our farm roots”. The event served up a delicious dinner, silent auction

and, of course, the awards that were presented to 4-H members for their work on various projects throughout the year. Everything from sewing, to photography, to rais-ing lambs and cattle and much more. One of the highlights of the event was the Bow Valley

Beef and Multi 4H Club presenting a cheque to CanLyme – the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation. With cases of diagnosed Lyme disease being on the rise, the Bow Valley Beef and Multi 4H Club to an interest in helping provide awareness to this disease and presented them a cheque at the wrap up event. Bow Valley Beef and Multi 4H Club presented a $15,750 cheque to Suzanne Wong of

CanLyme, which was the main event of the evening. Lyme is a borreliosis caused by borrelia bacteria, which

commonly infects woodland animals like mice or deer. Ticks pick up the bacteria by biting infected animals, and then pass it on to their human hosts. The are many strains or genospecies of borrelia that cause Lyme disease (bor-reliosis) in humans just as there are many strains of the flu virus that cause flu symptoms in humans, with some strains more virulent than others.Lyme disease is most treatable during Stage 1. As time

passes, both treatment and diagnosis become more dif-ficult. Symptoms worsen during each stage of infection, ranging from flu-like symptoms to neurological illnesses, including paralysis. With chronic Lyme disease there is not one system of the body that can be unaffected… this includes various hormone production as well.Lyme disease is on the rise in Canada. Decrease your

risk of infection by taking preventative action and learn-ing more about Lyme.

Congratulations on an amazing year and to all award winners.

Business That Gives So Much Says Thank YouChestermere Bottle Depot celebrates

By Michelle Young

For more than ten years, the Chestermere Bottle Depot has been an important business and community partner in our city. Located at #101-260 Marina Drive, Chestermere Bottle Depot not only provides a valuable service, but is also very involved in our community. Owners, Karen and Kam Khamba, have

given back to many organizations dur-ing their time in Chestermere. Earlier this year, they donated $1000 to the Chestermere Public Library and just a few weeks ago presented a $1000 cheque to Loop Around the Lake organizer, Bernard Maillet for his efforts in raising money for the library.The Khambas state, “At Chestermere Bot-

tle Depot we understand the importance of bottle drives for non profit organiza-tions so we are the master in bottle drives. We don’t charge extra for counting and pickups. We also pay extra up to 5% to non-profit organizations who bring the bottle drives”. They also have a special arrangement for

bottle pick up and reward programs for Colleges, schools, Universities and larger institutions in Calgary and surrounding areas. Alongside supporting their community,

they also believe in making the world a better place and that is why they strong support recycling and likely one of the main reasons why they opened a bottle depot. Their website states, “We only

have one earth! How do we want to hand it over to the next generation? With landfills that are full and no clean water? Or do we want to give it to them in better shape than we got it from our ancestors? If we keep throwing things away, sooner or later, we will run out. We need to do our best to be responsible with the limited resources this earth offers so everyone can breathe clean air and drink clean water.We recycle beverage containers to keep

them from polluting our roads and parks. We also recycle beverage containers to re-cover the energy tied up in those contain-ers. Beverage containers only represent 2% of everything in a landfill, but they take up 8% of the space, and represent 14% of all the energy not recovered. Every time we recycle an aluminum can,

we save lots of electricity. That is because it takes less energy to make a new can from an old one than it does to dig up more material to start over, 95% less to be precise. When you add up all the energy we could save from all the different types of containers, it’s a lot of energy saved. That energy we save means we have to burn less coal and natural gas, which means cleaner air to breathe”. On Saturday June 25th, the Chestermere

Bottle Depot held its customer appre-ciation event with free BBQ, games and music. Many residents and friends came out to support the event and to say thank you to a business that does so much for the community.

Shooting With Joe

“Blonde Grizz“ – Banff National Park, AB

TIP – the beautiful thing about photographing bears is the different colour phases. When I visit Jasper to photograph bears, I usually see black bears that are choco-late, cinnamon or blonde. With this grizzly, it was a pleasant surprise to see this blonde phase.

So the tip for this week? Enjoy your time out in the field. It isn’t always about get-ting that killer shot.

Hello Chestermere!

Another interesting week has come and gone. I had the great privilege of attending the Aboriginal Day Potluck Supper in Red-wood Meadows. In addition to delicious food, great company, and an inspiring and funny speech from Dr. Michael Lickers (a Canadian Forces veteran, educator, and member of the Turtle Clan of the Mohawk Confederacy), we were treated to some truly amazing artwork, poetry, and Creator Sticks by the students at Banded Peak School. They have granted us permission to display some of it here in our office on the Art Wall. Please drop in and check it out. We have enjoyed seeing the city of

Chestermere empty out onto our path-ways, and into the lake. This time of year is special and I have always enjoyed the summer transformation of our city. As we see our students finishing off their exams, and heading off to their summer activities and jobs, I see the concern in the faces of parents and families wondering what the future holds for our kids, our families and future generations. The Government seems to think it can borrow its way to prosperity, and the most frustrating part of that sense of entitlement is that we do not teach this to our kids, and we as a culture in Alberta are very proud of our ability to balance our budgets and live within our means. This practice has got-ten us through previous downturns and given us the ability to ramp up when the economic tide has turned. As most of you

know we are fierce advocates for special needs and vulnerable populations and the needed programs and assistance that our province is able to provide to these amazing individuals. The road through applications, grant funding, wait times and acceptance for entry into programs can be overwhelming to a parent caught in the red tape of helping our children, and believe me it taps right into your very soul. Albertans at the very core are giving, compassionate and thoughtful people. Did you know that we as a province contribute more per capita in donations than anywhere else in the world? This is because we know how unbelievably fortunate we are. We have worked so incredibly hard to become successful, but to also aid in the success of our neighbors, and to participate in that success. We are the economic engine of our country. Whether they work in energy, agriculture, forestry or other sectors of our economy the Albertans I meet are amazing people. I will never understand the Government’s desire to tear down the industries that have built this province, or blatant disre-gard for the people of this truly exception-al province. Albertans are not afraid to adapt. We thrive on adaptation. We are not afraid to accept. We are built on our uniqueness of our people, our acceptance of culture, diversity, our inclusiveness, and our generosity. Can we do better and should we do better? Yes and yes. That should always be the goal. We rise to that. Albertans always have. I will be singing the National Anthem and

performing at 10:30 July 1st in Redwood meadows and here in Chestermere start-ing with birthday cake in the Library at 1 PM. We live in the greatest province in the greatest country in the world and I hope to see you at one of these events as we celebrate Canada Day. As always, we love to hear from you.

~ 2015-16 Year End Issue ~

The high school athletics year came to an official close last year with the high school athletics banquet. The banquet serves as a great way to look back at the year that was; and what a year it was indeed for St. Gabriel the Archangel. The year was bookended by two banner winning performances. The Intermediate Cross Country Boys team brought the championship trophy to SGA for the first time in the fall, while the Varsity Boys Soccer Boys brought home the school’s first soccer banner in the spring. In between were countless memorable performers and performances by students and coaches alike.

When it came time to hand out the awards for overall athlete of the year for each grade, there were numerous candidates. The winners were all multi-sport athletes whose excellence spanned the full range of high school sport. Cassie Leil is one of the most naturally gifted athletes in the school and was chosen

as the grade 10 girls winner. Andrei Lopez is a basketball player whose forays into volleyball and track and field helped spur him to the selection amongst very stiff competition. Jarrett Kind played on an incredible six teams this year in winning the award for the second year in a row. Brooklyn Jarvis and Erik Larios joined Kind as back to back winners; Larios captained two different teams while Jarvis added basketball to her already impressive multi-sport resume. Rebecca Sikorski became one of the few players to win the award in all three years of high school. She will go down as one of the very best athletes to ever graduate from the school.

The most memorable moment of the night, though, came with the inaugural presentation of the Markus Lavallee Award. The award was created and named after the late Markus Lavallee, a former SGA student who tragically passed last summer in a car accident.

Lavallee was a very special athlete and person and the award was set up to commemorate and honour future athletes who demonstrate some of his unique and outstanding character traits. Markus’ mom attended the banquet and presented the award and when Jordan Wheaton, a good friend of Markus, was named the winner, the emotion of the moment was overwhelming for most in attendance.

There were numerous other students recognized throughout the evening for their sport specific accomplishments or for their overall sport participation. St. Gabriel the Archangel is such a special school. Nowhere else do you have a school of such diminutive size, punching so high over its weight class. The school offers so many teams and opportunities for its students to participate and succeed in sport. Here’s looking forward to 2016-17 being even more successful that the past one.

Rebecca Sikorski - Grade 12 Jordan Wheaton and Shantelle Lavallee Erik Larios - Grade 12

Cassie Leil - Grade 10 Andrei Lopez - Grade 10 and Brooklyn Jarvis - Grade 11 Jarrett Kind - Grade 11

This week’s column is for the business lady venturing into the world of golf. We are addressing ladies who don’t play much and have been invited (or must) to play in the annual company tournament, charity event, a date or have an upcoming networking opportunity on the golf course. This situation is a common one and now is the time of

year these events occur. I have had so many ladies take lessons, just to be ready, for that annual corporate event that they must play in and don’t want to embarrass them-selves. So ladies, here are some tips for that upcoming big day! (These tips can also apply to you men as well and experienced golfers.)

OVERCOMING INSECURITIES

Most golfers are nervous...you’re not alone!Get out and practice and/or take a lesson before the big

day.Get to the course early (45 min.) you don’t need the

added stress of being late.Not sure what to wear? Phone the course and ask for

their dress code or phone a friend who does golf. If in doubt, no denim or t shirts and dress conservatively.First tee jitters? Tee off with your favorite club (maybe

a 3 or 5 wood instead of the driver), try to make solid contact and swing to a nice balanced finish. If it is going badly...pick up now and then or only play 9 holes.If it’s a date and you’re not ready for the golf course

then perhaps arrange to have the date on the practice range.

NETWORKING ON THE GOLF COURSE

The goal is to nurture the opportunity, don’t be too ag-

gressive!Show the confidence you have in the business world on

the golf course. Be aware of how you handle yourself as golf has a way of exposing your character.Phone your potential(s) to see if they want to get to the

course early to warm-up on the range. This gives you time to relax, practice and start your networking.If things are going well... go for a drink or meal after the

round or set up a future meeting.Don’t forget your business cards.Smile a lot!Be complimentary but not overly.Ask questions. Get your potential to do most of the

talking.If given advice on your swing...listen and say thank you.Pair up in the golf cart with your potential.This will give you lots of time to talk.The next day phone, don’t e mail, your playing partners

and thank them for the wonderful round of golf etc.

Hopefully these thoughts will inspire ideas of your own to successfully network on and off the course!

ETIQUETTE...DO’S AND DONT’S

Do play quickly. Don’t take more than one practice swing.Do bring snacks ie. mountain mix, nuts, fruit.Don’t stand behind someone hitting or putting.Do be on time.Don’t make niose when others are hitting.Do go to the men’s tee and watch them tee off.Don’t hit every shot in a scramble if it is a long hole and

you are struggling.Do get your putt to the hole in a scramble.

Don’t continually apologize.Do have fun and enjoy the day regardless of how you

play!

One final thought. If in doubt about a situation use your common sense and always ask. Your playing partners will only be too happy to help you out...it’s the nature of the game of golf!

Good luck and use these tips at your next big day out to play YOUR best golf!

SummerSparklersThe arrival of summer has brought with it the

dog days of summer, with extended hours for outdoor drinking. While chugging beer on a sunny patio is a time-honoured tradition in Canada, sometimes you want to class things up a bit with a fancy cocktail.Cocktails made with sparkling wines get

more popular in the summer months, perhaps because they are generally served cooler than a typical glass of wine, and the carbonation makes them extra-refreshing on a hot day.The Mimosa is perhaps the most famous of

the sparkling cocktails, made popular by the Sex & The City girls, and at brunches every-where. Made from equal parts sparkling wine and chilled fruit juice, the Mimosa is easy to prepare, and refreshing on a hot day. When entertaining guests, my personal Mi-

mosa recipe is one-half Cipes Brut sparkling wine from the Summerhill Winery in Kelowna, topped up with one-half grapefruit juice. If I’m feeling extra-fancy, I drop in a few frozen blueberries just to give it some pizazz.For those readers in the audience with a liter-

ary bent, you can’t go wrong with Death in the Afternoon, a cocktail invented by Ernest Hem-ingway, who would slowly trickle iced Cham-pagne over a jigger of Absinthe into a fluted glass. Official records are somewhat sketchy, but an absinthe-fueled bender is assumed to have followed shortly after.Campari and sparkling wine are another

popular combination. Referred to as a Spritz, it is often served as an aperitif with Italian cuisine. The bitter herbal flavour of Campari is best paired with a semi-sweet sparkling wine, preferably a Prosecco just to keep it authenti-cally Italian. Those who have dined at a fancy beach resort

will no doubt be familiar with the Bellini, another Italian-inspired cocktail, made from equal parts Prosecco sparkling wine and frozen peach puree. Your intrepid liquor reporter first sampled this particular cocktail decades ago on a sun-drenched patio overlooking the inner harbour in Victoria BC, and became a lifelong fan.For those who love Jolly Olde England, Pimm’s

#1 served half-and-half with Champagne is the perfect tipple for catching up on Coronation

Street or your favourite BBC program.Whatever your sparkling cocktail of choice,

you will generally be adding a spirit or mixer to one of four types of sparkling wines: French Champagne, Spanish Cava, Italian Prosecco, or German Sekt.The French were the first to perfect sparkling

wines in the Champagne region, and are still the gold standard by which all other bub-blies are judged. The Spanish mostly follow the French style, with the wines undergoing a secondary fermentation in the bottle. The yeast is frozen into a solid clump and disgorged from the original bottle, with the now-fizzy wine transferred to a fresh bottle for sale.The Italians and Germans tend to favour the

Charmat method, where the wine is fermented and carbonated in a pressure-controlled giant steel vessel, then filtered and directly bot-tled. This tends to be less expensive than the traditional French method, as it eliminates the time-consuming process of in-bottle secondary fermentation and disgorgement.Sparkling wines made in the French style tend

to have smaller and more persistent bubbles, while the less expensive Italian sparkling wines tend to exhibit more tropical notes.New World wine producers like Canada or

Australia tend to favour the French styles for their highbrow offerings, and the Italian styles for the more mass-market sparkling wines. Browse the shelves of your friendly neighbour-

hood booze merchant, and you will see the bubblies tend to split between the under-$20 and over-$30, with not much in the $20-$30 range. This usually lines up fairly closely with the different production methods.The notable exception seems to be the Span-

ish winemakers, who make Cava in the tradi-tional Champagne method, but price it more like an Italian Prosecco, making Cava perhaps the best bang for your buck in the world of sparkling wines. Wine snob that he is, your humble narrator

prefers his Champagne to be unadulterated with cocktail mixers, while the more youthful Prosecco makes an excellent base for sparkling cocktails.Fortunately, sparkling cocktails are very forgiv-

ing, so go nuts with whatever happens to be in your liquor cabinet at your next garden party, and you may be pleasantly surprised. Just remember that the bubbles subside quickly, so pour your cocktails when they are ready to be enjoyed, but not so early that the fizz disap-pears.

Horoscope - Salome's StarsWEEK OF July 04, 2016

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You clever Ewes and Rams love nothing more than to rise to a challenge. So, by all means, if you feel sure about your facts, step right up and defend your side of the issue.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ve done some great work recently. Now it’s time to reward yourself with something wonderful, perhaps a day at a spa or a night out with someone very special.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, but don’t forget to make time to do a little more listening; otherwise, you could miss out on an important message someone might be trying to send to you.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspect indicates some uncertainty about one of your goals. Use this pe-riod of shifting attitudes to reassess what you really want and what you’re ready to do to get it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your social life is picking up, and you’ll soon be mingling with old friends and making new ones. But ‘twixt the fun times, stay on top of chang-ing workplace conditions.

VIRGO (August 23 September 22) A trusted friend offers understanding as you vent some long-pent-up feelings. Now, move on from there and start making the changes you’ve put off all this time.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might well feel uneasy as you face a difficult situation involving someone close to you. But you know you’re doing the right thing, so stick with your decision.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You’re a good friend to others. Now’s the time to allow them to be good friends to you. Rely on their trusted advice to help you get through an uncertain period.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Family and friends are always important, but especially so at this time. Despite your hectic workplace schedule, make a real effort to include them in your life.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) That project you’ve been working on is almost ready for presentation. But you still need some information from a colleague before you can consider it done.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t let those negative attitudes that have sprung up around you drain your energies. Shrug them off, and move ahead with the confidence that you can get the job done.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Aspects favor some dedicated fun time for the hardworking Piscean. A nice, refreshing plunge into the social swim can recharge your physical and emotional batteries.

BORN THIS WEEK: You love to travel and be with peo-ple. You probably would be happy as a social director on a cruise ship.
