On November 25th I went on a Carribean Cruise with a group from Vulcan. It was a wonderful trip; all kinds of interesting and enjoyable experiences. We flew to Tampa Florida, stayed at the Sheraton- Grand overnight and then boarded our ship the next day--The Nieuw Amsterdam, and cruised overnight to Key West; took a tour of that city, and saw a number of their wonderful old residences, etc. We then cruised all night to Kazumel Mexico where we visited Tulum, The Mayan Ruins, which were very interesting. That night we enjoyed the Latin Fiesta Folkloric Show- Mariachis, Marimba, Dance Troupe. Then, on to Ocho Rios Jamaica where we toured a working Plantation on a tractor pulled wagon type vehicle and had our noon meal there prepared by Jamaican women; a tasty meal of chicken and local vegetables and fruits. From there we went to Dunn's River Falls which is highly recommended. These can be climbed with rubber shoes, which can be rented. From bottom to top takes about 45 minutes. Back to our ship by bus and by 5 p.m. we are sailing away to the Gr4nd Cayman Islands. Sailing all the next day and night. At Grand Cayman we were supposed to visit Stingray City but inclement weather prohibited this excursion. However, we were able to visit the Turtle Farm, turtles of various sizes; also visited a couple of shops. T. Shirts seem to be the main sale items. We were also able to take in an excursion in a Sea- world Explorer Glass Bottom Boat which was highly recommended. We went "down under" on the boat which had glass windows on both sides, slanted inward. We were seated side by side across the width of the boat (2 across). We viewed coral reefs and a couple of ship wrecks; also, an area with plants that looked like desert terrain. Fish of many colors and species swam around us and up to the windows. A scuba diver was along and went down and fed the fish which came in swarms. He also searched for and picked up a conch which he brought to the windows to show us. It did not have the pretty colours in the rough that we are used to seeing. This excursion was a highlight of our cruise. Some of the coral looked like brains, some like sponges, so many other shapes and sizes, often separated by deep ravines and rivers of sand. Often looked like we were running right into them or were right on top of them. There was always something doing on board ship. Games in various places, dancing, exercises, walk a mile on deck, sports, teas, crafts, etc., etc. And, FOOD, 'til it is coming out of your ears if you are so inclined. A six or seven course dinner in the dining room; a large buffet on the Lido Deck, and a barbegue on the Sun Deck. Certainly not a place to lose weight. Waiters are assigned to certain tables and guests to a certain table throughout the cruise, in the dining room. With the excursions and all there just wasn't time to take in everything. The evening entertainment was always very good; which was produced twice in each instance so that both sittings for dinner could take in the show. Getting to know the ship takes some doing. Pretty easy to take a wrong turn and wind up not where you wanted to be. Rather frustrating when you thought you finally had it all figured out. Anyway, it was interesting and fun even though very tiring. There was a group of 27 from the County of Vulcan including our Tour Guide. She had everything taken ca re o f for us or told us what we need ed to do so our tri was made eas Y • All in all I thi everyone had a great time F a number of us it was the f i rs t cruise. I am interested in buying a copy of the Snake Valley book.

Chris Bartsch, Chris Nelson, Nathan Phillips and Josh Umscheid committed to a competitive Jr. Super League in Calgary. A lot of doubt around the community existed as to whether they should be there. They got up every Sunday for the next 13 weeks at 5:30 to 6:00 a.m. to be in Calgary for their games. Starting a little slow, as they had not been on ice or had any practice for the opening fun game they lost their first game. Possibly the fact of walking into a ten sheet curling rink with 20 teams playing at once was also a bit of a distraction. The teams they played ranged from 12-19 year old kids, all picked from their home rink house leagues. The next weekend was a league opening bonspiel. They lost their first game by 1 point by measurement. The next game things started to come together and they won 10-0 in 5 ends. The third game was close, losing again by one point, finishing the bonspiel 3rd in the 2nd event. Oct. 3rd started the league play, which they were ready for. Winning the first 3 weeks before losing their first game. To lose was not their normal, as they went on to win their next 3 games. Nov 28 being the last league game was lost in an extra end, finishing the league at 6 wins 2 losses. Their record gave them 3rd place in their division of 16 teams. December consisted of the playoffs. The league was made up of two pools of 16 teams, from this they took the teams records and put them into 4 team pools of similar records for the playoffs. Losing only one game of the round robin play, game them second place. They proved that this was a league they were very competitive in and will be back to curl again. After Christmas they entered the Ray Kingsmith Memorial Bonspiel. Open to anyone as long as they are in Jr. or Sr. high school there was lots of good competition. The team achieved third place in the second event, a very good finish for their first attempt. The team decided this year to pass up the Pepsi Jr. Playdowns and concentrate on the Southern Alberta Winter Games. In preparation for the games the boys are curling in the Milo Mens League at 3 Wins, 1 loss. They finished 1st in the 1st event in the Milo Community Bonspiel, 3rd in the 2nd event in the Lomond Men's Bonspiel. In the Milo Jr. Bonspiel they were all on seperate teams which all finished well in all the events. They also helped Milo win the overall league for the Jr. High School league. They have competed in the Milo Mixed League with one win and one tie. Jan 28th and 29th finally came, time for the Southern Alberta Winter Games in Brooks. Upon arriving in Brooks they found a grueling schedule awaiting them. 11 teams entered and were split into a pool of 5 and a pool of 6. The format was to play round robin in your pool and 1st and 2nd place would go from each pool to the Semi-Finals and those 2 winners to the final. This left a possible 6 games to play in 1 1/2 days. The first game Friday at 4:30 against Lethbridge went well with the team curling good and focused on what they wanted. The second game at 7:00 p.m. against Crowsnest went well with the team winning again. Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. would be a big test against Medicine Hat as they were curling well. The boys started slow and a little shaky, but soon turned it around and finished well. 11:00 a.m. matched them against Newell, which proved to be a tough game. A spectacular take out to score 3 in the 8th end gave them the win and an undefeated record in round robin play. Finishing 1st in their pool sentthem to the Semi-Finals. The teams were matched so that Milo played Lomond and Lethbridge played Lethbridge. Both games featured a lot of great curling and good shots. Milo coming out of their game winners and the Lethbridge team that was in our pool coming out of the other game. The final started out fast with Milo scoring 2 three point ends and only giving up 1. The rest of the game was a trade off of good curling by both teams trading points to the end. Our Milo team came through, showing that hard work, practice, alot of heart and team effort pays off. Undefeated for the weekend they won the GOLD medal. With alot of pride in his team Lome Umscheid will be taking them them to represent Southern Alberta in St. Albert for the Alberta Winter Games during March 3-6th. If they win the gold in St. Albert they will automatically receive a berth in the Canadian Winter Games in 1995. Congratulations all four and best of luck in St. Alberti!

It seems that a small cavity developed Into a toothache that hurt (ike hell. Now, I’m as brave as anyone, When it comes to facing pain. But after only a few short days, My strength began to drain. After a couple of sleepless nights, And swearing off solid food, A trip to see the dentist, Gould end this painful brood. The receptionist was very kind, And seemed to sense the need, For 01’ Doc Molar to check me out, And do it with some speed. Upon entering the office, I was hit with a familiar scent. A rich antiseptic aroma, With a hint of peppermint. I muddied through the paperwork, One question caught me off guard, We cannot accept a persona! cheque, will that be cash, or Mastercard? ! was lead down a narrow hail, To a room around the bend. This would be the very place, Where my discomfort would finally end. The dental assistant entered the room, She was the biggest I’d ever seen. In fact, she was wearing a warm up suit From the Soviet Shotput team. The dentist was a small man with glasses, And a hint of mustache beneath. It didn’t take Einstein to realize Who would be pulling the teeth. The assistant smiled, a toothless smile, And clipped on a paper chin wiper. I had the feeling, if she went to work, I would have greater need for a diaper. Doc clammered around on a steel tray, And came up with a miniature hay hook. He said, "Please open up your mouth, And let me have a look." He had my mouth pried open, Farther than it had ever been. He poked and prodded, hooked and dug, Until I thought that I would scream. He stepped back and in his eyes, Dollar signs began to roll. "Looks like you’ll need a couple fillings, But there’s one we need to pull. He then produced a needle, The bright light made it gleam. It looked to be about the same size As the one used for Rabies vaccine. "This won’t hurt much," he said. I knew he was full of pooh! The damn thing went In so far, It froze my eyelids too. He grabbed the drill and revved it up, Like a kid in the hot rod car. A piercing whine filled the room, Like a thousand mosquitoes in a jar. A suction hose hung from my rubber lips, Drying my mouth like leather. As the driil began to do its job, I could smell burnt chicken feathers. He began a conversation, And I tried to answer his question. He seemed to understand what I said, This guy must be Kreskin! He drilled and scraped and filled, Until, alas, he finally quit. He stook back, grinning like the Cheshire cat, And said, "Lean up and spit." You’d think that a grown man Could hit that tin toilet bowl. Unfortunately, with my miouth like tire, It fell wall short of its goal. The assistant moved in quickly, Brandishing chrome fencing pliers, I’m sure the look upon my face Was the type that fear inspiers. She planted one hand on my forehead, And a knee firmly on my chest. She gave the molar a mighty twist, And her power did the rest. Applying the force of a Percheron stallion Made that molar finally let go. Before my eyes, at the end of that tooth, Dangled my right big toe. Quickly, the dentist started piling in gauge, Until he had a heap. When he was satisfied he’d done enough, it felt kike I was chewing sheep. I weaved my way to the front desk, And stared at the bill with distain. The toothache had been very painfull, But this bill caused twice the strain, The days that followed were agony, And I cursed that toothache biz. Did you know, that a frozen mouth, You can’t tell how hot coffee is?Gftacltwagoft News On November 6, 1993, the Chuckwagon banquet held at the Hospitality Inn was well attended.

Outling benefits and costs for the bike path. Jan 18/94 Alberta Active Living and Environment Program Alta Community Development Milo Walk/Bike Path Committee Box 44, Milo, Alta. Dear Committee Members: PURPOSE - A recreation master plan survey was conducted thru out our community in 1993. A bike / walk path came up as the most widely asked for new facilty, to direct our recreation dollars towards. 75% of respondants said they would use such a facilty. A committee was set up to look into the feasabilty of bringing the project together. Our pathway would be 2.0 to 2.3 km. long and 2 metre wide, and connect our Village to Lake McGregor. Lake McGregor is a 22 mile long lake which is bordered on the Milo (north) end with a 1/2 mile wide earthen dam. At the dam site is a community developed, but currently provincially operated park and playground. McGregor is known for great fishing, boating and wind surfing. This corridor has been recognized as the 2nd best area in the prov. for recreation development and as a result 3 resort developments are under construction south along the lake. To build a paved "turn key" path would cost approximately $65,000.00., with approx. 1/2 of this amount in paving costs. Site preparation would take up the other 1/2 of expenditures. Being a rural community, we have the abilty to do the bulk of the site preparation with the donation of labour and equipment from local farmers and the Village of Milo. The actual paving would require a commercial paving crew, so this is where we need grant money and cash donations to raise the $35,000.00 for the paving crew portion, etc. BENEFITS - The benefits to active living and the environment are numerous. As well, this project would serve a wider demographic population than any other project we could do at this time. 1. We do not have any safe paved surface for cycling and walking other than the main street in town and local highway. Both are becoming busier with traffic, and locals have shyed away from using them lately because of this. Seniors and local ladies usually gather in town to go for walks together, and with a more fashionable, interesting, paved and safer route, useage would increase thru out the year and it is possible that more middle aged men would become more active also. 2. With a safer pathway to the lake and the Provincially operated park, more people would go to the park to use the recreation amenities there (swimming, playground, picnic area etc.). 3. As an economic benefit to the village businesses, summer park users would definately come into Milo either by walking or on their bicyles, etc. to buy supplies, "have an ice cream” or what ever. 4. School kids would certainly find use for the path either in physical education progams or science programs, as they like to go to the lake to study plant and wildlife. 5. Children and teenagers would find the most use for such a pathway, with their bikes or roller blades (which is becoming more popular all the time), and also jogging for training purposes. With pavement, this facility could find use in most weather conditions. 6. By increasing bicycle usage, some will become better educated to alternative (environmentally sound) tranportation methods. 7. A paved path would eliminate erosion problems that frequently occur with dirt pathways. As well, litter can be controlled along such a path with the use of garbage facilities as users are less likely to wonder off the trail. Problems with trespassing on adjacent farmlands would also be minimized. 8. Trees along the route would enhance our generally barren prairie landscape. 9. Rest benches, donated by local businesses, gives them an advertizing opportunity. 10. Of all the benefits outlined, fitness and fitness education is definately the big winner as it gives both rural and village residents an additional facility that can be used by both young and old.From the size of the project, you can see that we would appreciate as much assistance from ALEP as possible. We plan on matching any grant contributions with monies raised or donated and with donated equipment and labour, such as gravel trucks, graders, packers etc. We would like to build this pathway in either 1 or 2 stages, depending on timing of grant monies, fund raising, weather co-operation etc. However, we feel the project can realistly be completed this year. In the first stage, we require funds for easements, signage, shelters, gravel. ALEP funding would be utilized at this point. Donations of equipment and labour would see the completion of stage 1. Hiring of the paving crew would be stage 2, and involve the majority of our cash expenditures.

This display is entitled North of Sixtu and is an exhibition which includes the works of two southern Alberta artists who visited the North courtesy of the Arctic Awareness Program, sponsored by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources Canada, to increase public awareness of the Arctic. Isabel Hamilton of Lethbridge brought back watercolor images of the North in all of its splendor and subtlety, while Diane Colwell of Calgary recorded her experience with color photography. Another southerner, Laura Millard of Calgary, travelled the North as a passenger on a Mackenzie River freight barge and recorded her impressions of the North in paint and graphite. The display will be located in various areas of the school including the Municipal Library. You are welcome to come any time during school hours to browse through the collection. Join us for a fine arts adventure! per rnrbS iorV of L flr\A DtOners • BROWN EGGS in November a lady phoned me for brown eggs, I’m sorry but I lost your number. I now have lots of brown eggs.

Forestell With the recent government announcements regarding education, it is more apparent than ever that what we have come to expect for our students in the classroom will be very different in the future. There is no doubt that students in the classroom will be impacted as pupil teacher ratios are increased and support staff is reduced. A typical classroom in any school in Alberta is made up of a diverse group of students, each with their own individual needs. These needs range from academic or learning needs to behavioral, physical, or social needs. Although the mandate of the school is to provide education, it is difficult to expect children to learn when their basic needs are not being met. This responsibility often falls on the school. Children who are coming to school hungry or emotionally at risk cannot learn in the same manner as children who have their basic needs met. It is fine to say that the school should not be responsible for these needs, but these children are still in our classrooms and it becomes a necessity to deal with these needs before learning can occur. Schools are going to be hard-pressed to provide the quality of education we have come to expect in Alberta. For Your Information The Milo Community School has now started on the Compressed School Week as of Feb. 1st. We are very excited about this transition in the delivery of education in our school. With the recent announcements by Ralph Klein regarding cuts in Education, we feel that we are on the leading edge with innovative methods and constuctive ideas to solve our fiscal problems. We have been receiving requests for our "Compressed School Week Package" from all over the Country. Nova Scotia (including the Nova Scotia School Board Association), New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, B.C., and various places in Alberta have all received our information. There have been several calls from various members of the media who have also expressed interest. Students spent the last week doing Canadian Achievement Tests, which will be repeated during the pilot project, so an assessment of educational growth can be made.^ “NEW Political unrest - charred Russian White House To live in a new culture, to travel to a dozen new cities, to meet new people galore, and to experience the spiritual climate in the CIS, has made 1993 a rather exciting year. But I can think of no other challenge I would rather be tackling than my work here with ORA International. We serve an awesome God who I thank for “such a time as this”. The spiritual awakening that began in Russia in 1990 can be multiplied many times over if it is to really impact society in this corner of the world. Introducing The Creator God is continuing to open doors for author, lecturer, Roger Oakland to share his expertise on the subjects of creation and the dangers of the New Age philosophies. Lectures interest students, teachers and scientists and result in decisions for Christ. ORA co-sponsors these lectures and helps with the printing and distribution of Roger’s books. Local publishers in Moscow face problems such as mafia interference, bankruptcy, inflation, increasing taxes, new laws and disloyal, apathetic staff. After much prayer, 100,000 copies of “The Evidence for Creation” books are now being distributed. We serve an Almighty God who always accomplishes His will. LIFE IN CIS by Bettie Orchard Ministry Incognito The Russian people have been warm in hospitality and free with their love toward me. Though they have little, they give generously, spontaneously and sacrificially, often eating only potatoes for the next several weeks. Sharing meals together, both in their homes and mine, provides a door of opportunity for one-to-one evangelism and for informal discipleship and encouragement. Likewise, hospitality is important amongst missionaries. Ripples of love reverberate.and strengthen. Equipping The Saints Women are the same all over the world. Relationships within the home, work situations and spiritual growth all communicate the same heart’s cry as in Canada. Under the umbrella of a local church here in Moscow, I experience the blessing of leading a Bible study for women. One woman who attends expresses her joy weekly, with tears in her eyes. She was once an attractive woman but now has lost her beauty, her husband and her self-confidence due to a prescription drug that has deformed her physical characteristics. She is overwhelmed with the fact that no one can separate her from the love of Christ and is joyful in the fellowship of new Christian friends. Bible Study at my homeVisit to indigenous church 1 Cor. 9:19-22 Indigenous Pastors There are many effective churches planted by foreign organizations in the CIS, but perhaps none are more effective than those where Russian pastors shepherd Russian believers. ORA Canada sponsors 13 such pastors. Several of the churches have begun building projects as new believers are added to the churches weekly. My role amongst this indigenous group is to distribute Christian literature, Bibles and to work as a liaison on their behalf with the Canadian office. The Holy Spirit uses Brother Fred Lutsenko’s background and understanding of the Russian people, their culture and their history as a special bonding agent and provides opportunity for him to guide and encourage these pastors in the Lord. Community Reconstruction I am not saddened when I see an attempt to topple atheism and destroy communism. However, it is devastating to see the heartbreak it brings to the citizens as they see the very infrastructure of their once great country crumbling. In an attempt to salvage whatever is possible, communities are crying out for help to reconstruct projects abandoned by the Soviets. Empty buildings, closed hospitals, orphanages in disrepair, are examples of needs presented by various communities to ORA International for reconstruction. In marriages break up. Alcohol is a problem in most homes. We know that Christ has the answer for such problems. The question is, where are mission dollars best spent when the needs are so physically broad and spiritually deep. Your prayers will help with such decisions. One such example of successful reconstruction is a Senior Citizens’ Centre we visited in Moldova. The premises have been modestly redecorated, are clean and functional. A man now living there had been beaten and literally thrown on the street by his step-children. They didn’t want to bother with him after their mother died. To the residents there, this is the only hope and shelter they have and it is filled with Christ’s love. the process of rebuilding, the hope of Christ is shared with the people. Looking beyond the physical reveals that family life is also in chaos. In Moldova, 20% of children born are given up for adoption. Four in five ORA International is a registered charitable organization. Tax deductable receipts will be issued for donations.

Tom Bateman In southern Alberta during the 1940's Doc was a word used to affectionately describe the person who prescribed medicinal remedies for all ailments. The fact that there were far more ailments than remedies didn't deter anyone in our community from consulting anyone called "Doc" about any thing. It's only since I grew to mature cynicism that I realized that the term "Doc" doesn't necessarily mean anything positive relating to qualifications or intentions. The "Doc" of our family was the only product of our farm to have ever before or since, had the title bestowed on them, or even come close. My brothers and one brother-in-law were bankers. Even though they could suggest cures for ailments no one ever called any of them Doc. I heard some of the titles banking customers used on bankers but they were names one associated with the other end of the intellectual spectrum. Doc was in charge of overseeing the procreation of our sheep herd. He was a large and sometimes benevolent male sheep. Sometimes he was called a buck or a ram. Often he was called other things more imaginative, creative and descriptive. Doc came to our farm as a very young orphan. Like babies of any species, he was irresistagly cute. He would drink milk with gusto from a beer bottle equipped with a large nipple. In fact, my Dad had demonstrated the same level of gusto-ness when he emptied the bottle of its original contents. The two of them had Gusto in common. I don't remember how come he was called"Doc" but I think it was because his facial expression reminded someone in the family of one of our neighbors who was called "Doc". Our neighbor never did any "Doc" work but then neither do most of the Docs I have met since. We used to read about "Doc" workers going on strike and refusing to load boats but our neighbor didn't even own a boat. Doc grew rapidly and escaped the fate of almost all young male sheep who have their interest in procreation surgically removed. He was especially close to us all and we enjoyed many good times together playfully taking turns butting heads with various family members. The head butting sessions were a fairly recent innovation in our repertoire of recreational activities. Doc grew to adulthood and at age two he started a metamorphoses. His horns and head thickened noticeably. I don't know if that happens with all "Doc's" but that's how it happened with ours. Headbutting lost its appeal and that technique for family bonding was eventually discontinued. My older brother Jim and his friend Don Bresler, decided it was time for Doc to enter the educational process they had chosen for him. They taught him how to chase people. Jim would lope around on all fours and could outrun Doc at least during the early part of the training. Jim and Don butted each other's heads while Doc watched and learned. Soon he could butt heads with Jim and Don alternately until theyboth had flattened foreheads . As Doc's enthusiasm for the program was increasing his instructors began pursuing other interests. Doc started practising on everything and everybody. He also began to train himself in the art of stealth. He gradually became a sneaky and belligerent sheep. I could never figure out his motivation but I was forced into an ongoing confrontation in which I always lost. Doc became my primary concern. I was concerned over the state of my gluteus maximus from constant violent contact with sheep horns. It became a war where Doc was the powerful aggressor and I was the terrified victim. My mother counseled me to quit acting afraid because animals can sense fear. I assured I wasn't acting and that my fear was genuine and based on real experiences together with my natural cowardice. I hated pain but even more I disliked the humiliation of being beaten by a 2 1/2 year old. - to be continued.Kid's Korner & Krafts Student Community Service The Students of the Milo Community School would like to provide a Recyclable Collection Day for ail Seniors in the village. They will pick up and recycle goods on the 15th (or closest school day) of the month, starting on Feb. 15th. Please contact Joanne at the school if you are interested in this program and she will coordinate this. BROWNIF NFWS We are very happy to have Phyllicia Many Guns join the pack. We now have nine girls. The crafts we have been making these past weeks are now completed and we are looking forward to selling them at the school Valentine tea that is on Valentines Day itself this year! A Guide Revel was enjoyed at Champion on January 26, where we all skated, had supper and visited with our fellow Guides and Brownies. It is good to get together with other packs. Unfortunately we cannot go to The Ice Capades as it is not touring to Calgary. Hopefully we will get in some skating with Joanne Monner helping out to test the girls and if Charlotte Healy manages to find enough batons, she will instruct the girls in baton, something they are very excited about. Thank you to those who gave us their old Christmas cards and also for the soup labels. Brown Owl, Monica Children's Program AT MILO MUNICIPAL LIBRARY KIDS! Have some fun with us!

MODERN FACILITIES The village of Milo has a population somewhat less than 200. The residents of district and town are mainly British, American and Scandinavian. The village enjoys electric light and power service, has gravelled streets, a good class of business and residential buildings and what is of prime importance both village and school are In healthy financial condition. At that, tax rates are exceptionally low. For several years the position of mayor has been filled by J. M. ThoMson. Associated with him on the council are M. L. Haggins and W. Holton, with J. K. McLean handling the job of secretary- treasurer. From the virgin prairie of the ranching days the Milo district has been transformed into one of the province’s leading wheat producing areas, capable of producing a yearly crop of more than a million bushels of wheat. There are approximately 80,000 acres of land under cultivation. The farmers have to some extent adopted the system of one year crop and one year summerfal- low, and with good results. Six miles northeast of town the late J. Glambeck’s orchard and gar- dens demonstrated years ago what could be done in the growing of ™ts and flowers. D. Simms, whose flowers and fruit have won mt,'-K-4.?rizes at Calf?ary and other exhibitions, also has a lovely garden and grove. Another very successful grower of orchard and small fruits is James Burke, whose place, five miles northeast of town attracts many visitors. J . ,livestock- thee is a good deal of hog production in the dis- trict and not a few purebred cattle, notably the large herd of J. J Bartsch. All in all Milo is a busy thriving point and well equipped to’ serve the fine surrounding district. J. M. Thomson General Merchant Most people are particular as to the reliability of the foodstuffs they buy and the prices they pay, so confidence in the grocery goes a long way in getting their trade. All over this area the Associated Grocers stand for best quality groceries sold at the lowest possible margin and fuliy guaranteed. J. M. Thomson’s store at Milo is one of Associated chain and its stocks are large. Apart from the guaranteed quality of the goods sold, the purchasing power of the Associated Grocers, actmg co-operatively, gives them an advantage which Is passed on to h^a? v°m?r’ Mr- Thomson also handles boots and shoes, men’s wear and a few staple lines in dry goods. i„a PC?la. ine handled is the Kayser ladies silk hosiery and underwear.

Chevrolet Oldsmobile, studied in Leadbeater was awarded $1,000 for Outstanding Academic Achievement in 1993 by the Alberta Motor Association after he pulled an astounding 97 per cent average grade for that year's schooling. One such award is given out to a student mechanic in each region the AMA covers and helps encourage quality workmanship in auto repair. During a four-year apprenticeship program, Leadbeater spent two months in the classroom and the rest of his time getting practical experience in a working shop. That works out to 300 hours in class and about 1,500 hours in the shop before he was given his jour- neyman technician's certification. During his fourth year in the apprenticeship program, he "pulled his socks up" and completed his course with a 99 per cent average that could net him a second award. Most of his learning time is spent working on and familiarizing himself with the technology of today's cars. "We're automotive technicians, we're not just mechanics anymore," he said. And his nearly spotless coveralls are proof when he says many of the problems of new cars can be fixed simply by accessing the car's computer rather than tearing the engines apart. Glenn Leadbeater has been lauded as one of the province's best automotive technicians. Photo by Dave Down.

"That's where you get all the wild stuff," he said (with the glint of a techno-seeker in his eye). After hosting a minor party, Leadbeater said he put the 51,000 prize toward bills his schooling helped pile up. h)E£ T/rvie^ Sir'll »/?'/__________ FA A-A.
