The team consisted of skip Tammy Bushell, third Erin Monner, second Candace Brost and lead Amanda Bushell. The girls enjoyed the Opening Ceremonies Thursday night which consisted of just under 3000 athletes, coaches and chaperones filling the arena floor in the Centrium in Red Deer (more participants than the Olympic Games in Nagano). The competition started Friday with the girls winning both games. First beating the Zone 2 team, Mandy Peterman of Olds and then getting past Zone 6, Andrea McCutcheon of Edmonton. These two wins advanced the team to the medal round. In the first game of the medal round Tammy’s team came up against the Zone 5 team from Leduc, Charlene Knie. They curled well and won, this putting them in the Gold Medal round against Audrey Tackaberry rink from Zone 3 Calgary. The girls curled well in this game but were unable to win against the team from Calgary, therefore they received the Silver medal. As well as this honour, Erin and Candace received plaques for being the All-Star third and second respectively. The team also had the highest average overall percentage for the girl’s competition. After the curling competition the athletes returned to the Centrium for the Closing Ceremonies and the extinguishing of the Game’s torch. It was a great weekend and an accomplishment the girls should be proud of. 'rpM VERY BAD NEWS: Veteran PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY, Pop-N-Fresh, died yesterday of severe yeast infection. He was 71 years. Fresh was buried in one of the largest ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebraties turned out, including, Mrs. Butterworth,The California Raisins, Betty Crocker,and the Twinkie Kid. The gravesite was piled high with flours as longtime friend,Aunt Jemima gave the eulogy,describing Fresh as the man who "never knew how much he was kneaded". Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much time on half-baked schemes. Still even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 4|50 for about 20 minutes.7 YEAR .

On the sixth of the month, we travelled to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller and not only enjoyed the wonderful program given to us, but we also camped overnight with the dinosaurs!! It wasn’t enough for each girl to wrap a snake around her neck on that evening, so a visit to Reptile World the next morning allowed for more snake time! A big thank you to Deanna’s mom, Penny for coming along with us. Of course Valentines Day is special and the highlight of our party was the delicious cupcakes made by Charmaine’s mom, Kathy. Thanks to Kathy and Nikita’s mom, Charlotte for all the goodies. The most important day in the Guiding year is February 22nd. It is called Thinking Day and on this day Girl Guides and Scouts remember the founder of their organization. Lord Baden-Powell along with his wife devoted their lives to Guiding and Scouting and to this day many thousands of young people enjoy this program. As it turns out, Lord Baden- Powell and his wife, Olave, celebrated their birthdays on the same day, so we all have a birthday celebration and remember these two special people and know that many others around the world are doing much the same.

There were a total of 17 teams which took part in the two day event. The teams were from high schools all over southern Alberta including Vulcan, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Coaldale, Crowsnest Pass, Warner, and Fort McLeod. The boys division was made of of 6 teams, one of which was skipped by Dale Nelson of Vulcan. Unfortunately, this team met some tough competition and didn’t make it to the finals. The gold medal was taken by Levi Ober’s team from Kate Andrews High School in Coaldale, after defeating the boys team from Fort McLeod. The mixed division was also made up of 6 teams. After some tough games, the two teams left in the final were Kevin Nikkei’s team from Kate Andrews High School in Coaldale and Barett Soroka’s team from Catholic Central High School in Lethbridge. After an exciting final, the Kate Andrews foursome walked away with the gold medal. The girls division only consisted of 5 teams, one of which consisted of Jennifer Bartsch (skip), Tammy Bushell (third), Erin Monner (second), Jana Godkin (lead) and Doug Bushel! (coach). After losing a first disappointing game to the team from Eagle Butte High School, they rebounded and beat that same team in their second game of the competition. On Saturday, they faced the Warner girls team in the semi-finals and again came out victorious, in the final game the Milo girls faced the Medicine Hat High School team. After a very interesting and exciting final, the Milo girls won the game and the gold medal. Along with the medal, the girls also won a berth to the Provincial High School Playdowns.

Sam was born September 11, 1902 near Westboro, Missouri, U.S.A. He came with his parents Milton W. and Margaret V. Francis to the Gladys Ridge District in 1904 and moved on to the homestead in the Majorville area in 1912. Sam attended Liberty School and helped at home and on the neighbours machines in the fall. In 1925 their home burned down and the family returned to his father's acreage in Florida. The following spring they returned to Canada and for the next 10 years Sam Worked around Majorville. Most of the time for Margaret's father, Henry Winch. In 1937 he married Margaret Elizabeth Winch and moved to Cluny, where Sam worked for Fred Fairboum at his garage and machine shop. In 1940 Sam and Margaret moved to work for Herman Forsyth south of the Bow River where he worked during the growing and harvest months. During the winter months he moved to Arrowwood to work for Mr. and Mrs. Bob Williams until the spring of 1947. In 1944 they purchased three quarters of the Deitz land eight miles south of Crowfoot in the Majorville area. That land was farmed by Oliver Ingraham. In 1947 they moved to the Heacock half and bought a quarter section from the Indian Department. In March of 1948 they purchased another half section from Investors Holding and the next fall purchased the Heacock half section. In 1950 they became interested in training young people to become Missionaries. It was through the Osborn Foundation that had a plant whereby they could support Native Pastors, -and ■ so they supported many in Africa, India, Philippines, South America and Italy. Church services began in a tent at Queenstown, August 20, 1950 with Rev. C.D. and Mrs. McCreary of Calgary taking the services. By 1953 the Queenstown Christian Training Bible School was formed. The congregation asked Sam to take over full time, the services beginning May 6, 1960 as the McCreary's were returning to Calgary, and would visit and take part in the service occasionally which continued until March 1970 when the church closed. Sam and Margaret helped to build more than 20 churches in several countries. In 1971 they rented their land out, Margaret passed away in 1984 and Sam continued to reside on the farm at Arrowwood. He celebrated his 90th birthday in 1992 at Arrowwood. Sam moved into the Peter Dawson Lodge in 1994. The following spring he hosted an auction sale and sold his machinery and household effects. In January 1997 he sold his farm to his neighbours Jim and Kelly Boyd. Sam celebrated his 95th birthday at the Peter Dawson Lodge and has continued to reside in the lodge since. Sam's love for the Lord was always his first love. He loved people and sharing with them in his gentle manner and calming voice. Sam enjoyed listening to and singing the old hymns. He loved children and young people. He had a wonderful sense of humour and was always quick with a witty reply. Sam is survived by a sister Rose Northcott of Brooks, a brother-in-law Hugh Winch of Vulcan, a sister-in-law Alice Winch of Milo, numerous nieces and nephews. Besides his wife Margaret, Sam was predeceased by two brothers and their wives, Claire (Barbara "Leila") and Ben (Martha), two sisters and their husbands Estella (William) Kiemele and Dee (Scott) Tobiassion, three half brothers Emmett, Elba and William "Bill" Francis, a half sister Minnie Lines, three brothers-in-law Lewis Greaves, Charles Northcott and Ivan (Florence) Winch, a sister-in- law Bernice Winch and his parents. Funeral service was on Tuesday, February 10, 1998 at 1:30 p.m at Arrowwood Community Hall with Marvin Winch officiating. Interment Arrowwood Cemetery. Honourary bearers were Margaret House, Hugh Winch, Leigh Williams, Mary McDermit, George Roberts, Evelyn Reed and Laura Jones.
