Vol 1-25 PEOPLE CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE September 10, 2003 Dr. Brewerton: Home Again His career has taken him to some exotic locations around the world, but Dr. Conway Brewerton, die new Medical Officer of Health for the Chinook Health Region is happy to be home again. Dr. Brewerton was born and raised in Magrath where he has again taken up residence - but when he talks about home he is talking about southern Alberta in general. Growing up in Magrath he became friends widi kids from Raymond, Cardston, Coaldale, Lethbridge and many other communities around the soudi through school, sports and other activities, he explains. The south became a kind of community of its own. Dr. Brewerton took over as Medical Officer of Health in August, filling the position held by Dr. Paul Hasselback from 1995. Previous stops included Medical Officer of Health at the Red Deer Regional Health Unit and Assistant Director of the Harris County Health Department in Houston, Texas. He has a Masters of Public Health from John Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland and his MD witfi Distinction in 1977 from the Faculty of • Medicine at the University of Alberta. Dr. Brewerton was in Saudi Arabia as Emergency Physician Specialist for the Saudi Aramco Medical Services Organization when he was recruited for the Lethbridge position. Dr. Conway Brewerton the new Medical Officer of Health for the Chinook Health Region The Conway Brewerton family; Back (L-R): Lee, Elizabeth, Nick, Laura, Melissa, Amie, Conway. Seated (L-R): Christy holding Samual, Dede holding Taylor, Christina holding Isabelle, John, and wife Carmen. His appointment was a bit of a coup for the Chinook Health Region, as competition is fierce for medical health officers, acknowledged CEO Gil Tourigny when his appointment was announced. • "Dr. Brewerton has an excellent reputation for his public health knowledge and his ability to lead and interact positively with staff and the pubtic," said Tourigny. This is actually a second home- coming for Dr. Brewerton who had a general practice in Magrath from 1988 to 1992. He also worked in the emergency department at the Lethbridge Regional hospital. Dr. Brewerton says he has nothing but good memories of growing up in Magrath and attending Magrath High School where he graduated in 1968 as Class Valedictorian. . “I think it’s unusual for people these days to be able to grow up in that kind of setting,” he says. He remembers the special bond that existed between teachers and students during his time at school. The antagonism between teachers and pupils often found in larger centres simply wasn’t there, he said. “All the teachers were great. We had a good relationship,” he recalls. “We had fun with the teachers. They had fun with us. Not just academically, but socially as well.” He remembers one of his old teachers, David Lowry, with special affection. “He was superb,” he says. Although appreciating the opportunities he has had, he is happy to be living back on the prairies with his wife Carmen who was also born in Magrath, but grew up in Ontario. Three of his seven children are married, while four remain at home. His sister Bonnie West also lives in Magrath, as do his in-laws Jack and Peggy Harker. His parents, Steele and Loree Brewerton have recently retired to Cardston after living for many years in Texas and most recently in San Diego, California. Growing up in a small town has the added benefit of making him sympathetic to rural health concerns, agrees Dr. Brewerton. Small communities are always at risk of being lost in the funding shuffle especially when competing against larger centres like Calgary and Edmonton, he says. The Chinook Health Region however makes “a strong effort to support the rural communities as well,” he says. ♦ <MAGRHTK Published weekly on Wednesdays by Keyline Communications Box 179, Magrath, AB TOK 1J0 Ph: 758-6911 • Fx: 758-3661 email magrathnews@telus.net Ad deadline is Friday at 5pm and may be dropped off at the Magrath Pharmacy or at Keyline Communications’ office at 14 Centennial Place, Duane & Carma Thomson’s home.

September 16th, 2003 Protecting traditional marriage is critical to Canada's future. Yet, the government is advocating legalizing same sex marriage. The government's proposal MUST be fully debated by all Canadians But another bill, C-250, could make that free and open debate a hate crime subject to criminal penalties. This is UNACCEPTABLE! Please help us stop it! Defend Freedom of Expression in Canada — Debate is not Hate! Defend Traditional Marriage! AU of us calling our MP's on the same day multiplies our impact many times over! Time is short! A critical vote is likely as soon as September 17th! A number of concerned groups are encouraging every Canadian citizen to join in a nationwide "call-in" to Parliament on September 16th and express their opinion to their MP on two critical issues: —they expect their MP to vote against the Hate Crime Bill, C-250, scheduled to be voted on Sept. 17th, because it would amend the hate crime sections of the Criminal Code and likely limit the rights of Canadians to freely debate and express their news on critical social issues related to sexual orientation. At the very least, passing of the bill would have a "chilling" effect-and potentially crimi-nalize- free and open debate on such issues as legalizing same sex marriage that would profoundly impact the future of Canadian society. It is UNACCEPTABLE to Canadians for Parliament to attempt this at the very time we most need this national debate. —they expect their MP to stand by the intent of the resolution Parliament passed overwhelmingly in 1999 pledging support for preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman. MPs need to understand that Canadians expect Parliament to follow through with doing whatever it takes to preserve traditional marriage. Mr. Rick Casson, M.P.

Nyal and Freda Fletcher New Faces at Magrath High School by Lorn Smart Magrath High School has welcomed two Exchange students to Grade 11 this fall. JesSica Nastro and Jonathan Voigt are 16 year old students from Germany who are involved with CET Canada, a program that organizes student exchanges all over the world. Both students are pleased to be in Magrath and definitely excited about the prospects of improving their English and learning a bit about life in this part of Canada. JESSICA is staying with the family of Holt and Monica Zaugg. Her parents and two brothers are back home in Krefeld, a city of about 250,000 people in the western part of Germany. When asked about her first impression of Magrath, Jessica was quick to say, “It is small!” Jessica will spend 10 months in Magrath, attending high school and participating in as many community activities as possible. She is a talented young woman who plays both piano and accordion. She also likes to dance and enjoys both classic and Latin American dance. She is happy to be here and excited to learn as much as she can about the community and the rest of Canada.

His parents and two younger brothers will be anxious to hear about his Canadian adventure. Wurzburg is also much larger than Magrath and definitely older. The first thing Jonathan noticed upon arriving in Canada was that there are no “old” buildings. He has seen a bit of Calgary and Lethbridge and'has been impressed with how new and different the cities are compared to his hometown, which will celebrate its 1400 year anniversary next year. Jonathan is staying xvith Laura McRae and her family and hopes to be able to visit the Rocky Mountains for some snowboarding this winter. He enjoys many sports but admitted that he has not had a lot of experience with basketball. That is something sure to be remedied with 10 months in Magrath. Arriving in Magrath has been a huge change of scenery for both students but they are up to the challenge; ready to learn and anxious to enjoy what this community has to offer. ♦ Magrath Rod And Gun Club Meeting Friday, Sept. 12 at 7:30 Guest Speaker Guy L’tleureux will be showing information about Nunavut.

Harker, a nightfighter pilot shot down and killed during WW II. Included throughout are the recollections of a number ofMagrath and area veter- Twenty year-old Grant R. Stevenson was in the RCAF equivalent of boot camp in Brandon, Manitoba during WWII, when Pearl Harbor got hit in December, 1941. Hoping to become a pilot, he later first ‘flew’ in the ground-based Link trainer, the forerunner of today’s flight simulator. The Link had extremely sensitive controls, and poor performance on it could end your career as a pilot before it ever started. In the beginning, Grant did not do well on the Link. “As they plotted my flight,” he chuckled, “technically I was flying underground!” Flying training was meant to be a tough slog and one pilot student in four could be expected to fail at the elementary level. That’s what happened to Grant, but it was not his poor performance as a flier that got him, it was his excellent grades in navigation. When the two fellows later riding the train with him to navigator school in Trenton, Ontario got comparing their marks, they found they all had the highest grades in their class! They were simply too good at navigation to be allowed to generalize as pilots. About to head overseas in December 1942, Grant was stationed at Y Depot in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Most soldiers left directly from there via convoy across the Atlantic. But when it came time for him to head overseas, Grant was marched down to the docks—and boarded a train. His route was via New York city, from where he sailed overseas aboard the Queen Elizabeth. The convoy leaving Halifax about the same time that Grant left New York, was torpedoed. In England, Stevenson was first stationed in Bournemouth, a seaside resort used as a holding area. On a fine Sunday afternoon, a group of low-flying aircraft approached, bearing black (enemy) crosses, and they were dropping bombs! The local park was full of people and a few of the planes put their noses down and machine gunned the inhabitants, children and all. Lord ‘Ha-Ha’ of Germany sarcastically addressed the Canadian troops the next day via short wave radio, to say that he hoped they had not been too badly frightened by the experience. One night, Grant was returning from a flight over the English Channel aboard a twine engine Whitley bomber. As navigator, he was responsible for determining their proper heading, but had to get the pilot to follow his directions. Grant passed over a note, advising the pilot to alter course and turn due north. But some time later, Stevenson was alarmed to see a series of ground fires and searchlights approaching in the distance. He found they were still heading northwest, directly into the flak over Bristol, England! Said Stevenson, “The pilot was letting a friend fly the aircraft and they had traded seats just as I passed the note over.” Grant Stevenson would later serve as a navigational instructor in England, returning to Canada in March 1944 and discharged in Calgary five months later. ♦ CANADIAN EXPRESS (LOI,1,1RS Still accepting registration until September 15 Classes begin September 18 phone 752-3172 or 758-3992 Classes from Beginner to Championship taught. $50 - $75 (12 weeks) Brent Ehlert Family Service Advisor Free Estate-Planning Guide Prearranged Funerals Planning Group of Alberta 1003 - 4th Avenue South (Lower Level) Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 0P7 Bus: 403-327-3195 • Res: 403-758-3712 • Cell: 403-308-4838 Representing: Christensen Salmon Funeral Home & Crematorium and Salmon Funeral Home STORAGE SHED AND FOUNDATION KIT - 8’ x 10’ shed - Foundation kit included ($109 value) Roughneck Storage Containers 16”x10”x7” 3.17 24”x16”x9” 6.33 Storage Cases 74”x8”x4” 3.47 17”x14”x6” 6.97 24”x16”x12” 7.47 24x16”x16” 7.97 14”x10”x4” 5.44 Latchtop Tote 32”x20”20” 16.97 All Purpose Container U’’x18”x19” 9.44 Magrath Trading Company fili] Phone: 758-3065 Devonshire Realty Inc.
