A Lot Going On In LangdonVolunteers, community engagement and much more
By Michelle Young
It’s no secret that Langdon residents love their community and enjoys spending time together. When it comes to commu-nity spirit, residents of Langdon are always proud of what they can accomplish when they come together – and boy, has there been a lot on the go.Langdon Soccer is going strong and the
amazing coaches, that are all volunteers, are doing a wonderful job. Most took time out of their busy lives and attended a coaching clinic that was hosted by Fred Trihn and his crew from University of Lethbridge.The U8, U10 and U12 soccer clinics that
were held in April were a huge success with about 80% of the kids attending each of the three sessions. The crew from the University of Lethbridge are paid for the clinics but it’s a great way for them to earn some money while in University, and they are great role models for the kids in Langdon. “Without our great volunteers the soccer program would not be able to exist”, said Lisa Baker. Soccer isn’t the only sport that has
youngster out getting active. The Langdon Little League has their coaches also doing remarkable work, and as they are also volunteers, this shows the strong volun-teer spirit that Langdon has. There are approximately 200 youth participating in Langdon Little League this year. Of course, a great ball game needs an
awesome ball diamond, and thanks to
some dedicated volunteers, the Langdon Softball Diamonds have under gone an impressive makeover. Volunteers came together on the May 1st weekend to spread shale and repair bases, just in time for Langdon Little League and Adult Soft-ball to begin their seasons. The money for the shale, other repairs and upgrades to the diamonds came together from a col-laboration between the Langdon Commu-nity Association, Langdon Little League, and Langdon Softball Association – all volunteer associations. For those that are more drawn to the
performing arts, the Langdon Theatre Group is gearing up for their final perfor-mance on Friday May 27th at 7:00 pm – Show Night at MRU. Volunteers have been hard at work designing sets, cos-tumes, and holding rehearsals with all the young performers. Tickets will be avail-able at the door so come out and support these up and coming stars. The LCC volunteers are also organizing
a Straight Outta Langdon clothing fund-raiser, with funds going towards projects in Langdon with the first project on the list being the new Langdon Quad Ball Dia-monds. Orders are being accepted on the LCA website: http://www.goodlucktown.ca/lca-store.html.Another labour of love that has recently
popped up is the Langdon Community Garden. Countless volunteers came together to help build thirty-four plots throughout the May 1st weekend. A Grand Opening will be held to celebrate
The soccer season is in full swing and thanks to the committed volunteers, it’s turning out to be a great season! Photo: Compliments of Lisa Baker

this wonderful asset to the community on Saturday June 18th from 9 - 11 am. There will be a free pancake breakfast, kids games and much much more. Alongside celebrating the opening of the
Community Garden, the celebration on June 18th will also have other significance. The Langdon Community Collaborative (all volunteers themselves) is organizing the ‘Volunteer of the Year Award’.“We are looking for nominations from
the community”, explains Lisa Baker. All nominations must be in by Thursday
June 9th. To submit a nomination, you can access an online form on the good-
lucktown.ca website or you can email [email protected] or call Lisa at 403-483-5871. A selection committee will choose one
adult and one youth winner and winners will be announced at the Langdon Cel-ebrates event on June 18th from 9-11am. Winners will receive a small award and their names on a new plaque that will be displayed in the Langdon Field House. With all the amazing things happening in
Langdon at the doing of some dedicated and passionate volunteers, that committee has a tough job selecting the best of the best.

Volunteerism At Its BestCommunity spirit alive and well in Indus
By Michelle Young
Just as in the early days when a community would gather for a good ole’ fashioned barn raising, volunteers gathered at the Indus Recreation Centre on April 28th for a cause very similar. In this case, it was not a barn that was being built but a playground – a much needed playground. So with the desire for a playground, some community spirit and dedicated volunteers – a plan was put into motion.Cori Gustavsen explained how the project got started.
“The Bow Valley Agricultural Society (BVAS) had deter-mined with the designers of the proposed addition to the current facility that the playground would have to be shuffled to allow room for more parking for the new
proposed building that will be added to house the two new ice surfaces. The Indus Playschool was approached as they had fundraised and donated previously to the BVAS for the erection of the current playground on the site. The Indus Preschool was more than willing to take on the fundraising and organization of the playground as many of the components on the current one were start-ing to show wear and tear after being in use for over 15 years. The group researched playground equipment and determined what would be best suited, not only for the younger kids that attend the playschool but also the older kids that are at the arena for minor hockey, ringette and figure skating”. With a $100,000 price tag, fundraising was going to be
key in getting this playground completed. “Besides the
fundraising that the Indus Preschool did the Bow Valley Agricultural Society received funds from grants through the Rockyview County Community Recreational Funding Grant and Alberta’s Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) to help with paying for the project. Costs were also offset with the use of volunteers time donated to help organize the project and then to build the struc-ture. Fundraising by the BVAS, like the current 50/50 $50,000 raffle (details can be found at indusrec.ca), and the various user groups at the Indus Recreation Centre help to fund these projects. Community support through these fundraising activities help not only the BVAS but their user groups to provide amenities and services to the patrons of the facility at a reasonable price”, added Gustavsen. Once the funding was sorted out, organizers knew that
a project of this size would be an all hands on deck. “The Indus Preschool presented the Bow Valley Agri-cultural Society with some options of equipment for the new structure. In their collaborations they determined that the structure by Blue Imp would best suit the needs of not only the Preschool but the other user groups that frequented the arena, ball diamonds and rodeo arena at the Indus Recreation Centre. To keep the cost of the playground down volunteers were needed so a call was put out to all the user groups to come on April 28th and 29th to erect the structure. Monique Williams, from the Indus Preschool Board, co-ordinated all the volun-teers, delivery of the equipment, welders, heavy equip-ment, removal of the old structure, and gravel to keep the project organized over the two days. Baker Hughes

provided 11 volunteers for the first day which was a huge asset in getting the structure and Baker Hughes also provided the lunch on the first day. There were 40 local volunteers that came out over the two days to help with putting carrying, lifting and erecting the structure and then following the direction of the Blue Imp employees to insure that the structure meets the CSA standards so that it will pass an inspection to be operational and finally move 150 tonnes of pea gravel to give the structure a safe base under it”, Gustavsen explained. To some, a playground may sound like a very simple or
non-essential thing to have in a community, but for the residents of Indus and in the surrounding area, it means
much more. “Although the community of Indus is not large the Indus Recreation Centre services all of the Bow North Recreation District which includes all the rural area south of Glenmore from Calgary to the County of Wheatland. The minor sports groups have children that live in Langdon, Chestermere, Dalemead and the rural areas that surround these communities. The playground will be a benefit to all those children that come to the facility for their sporting practices and events or to attend the preschool or other community events that happen at the Recreation Centre”, said Gustavsen.“There are many people that helped this project come
to fruition but some groups that we would like to recog-
nize include Baker Hughes, Buy-Low for providing food, Indus Preschool for all the planning, fundraising and volunteer hours to organize the new playground. The moving of the gravel was eased by the donation by Mark Muchka from the Calgary Corn Maze of his bobcat and time to operate it. The staff of the Bow Valley Agricul-tural Society that helped with building and cooking the breakfasts and lunches that fed all of the volunteers. Kudos to the ladies that provided child care services so others could spend time on the playground building. Fi-nally the many volunteers that worked tirelessly over the two days to make the playground a reality”.
Oh the power of community spirit & dedicated volunteers! Photo: Michelle Young

Rocky View County Passes Langdon ASPHow does his impact residents?
By Michelle Young
Rocky View Council passed the new Langdon Area Structure Plan (ASP) on May 10, 2016. After a lengthy process of public open houses, presentations to council and a public hearing, that was held twice, council has ap-proved this new plan for Langdon. Rocky View County states, “the Area Structure Plan is
intended to update the existing Hamlet of Langdon Area Structure Plan adopted in 1999. The revised area struc-ture plan will be in alignment with the community vision and County policy for hamlet growth and development. It is anticipated that the Hamlet of Langdon Area Struc-ture Plan will take about one year to complete”. Now that Rocky View County Council has approved this
ASP, we reached out to Rolly Ashdown for his opinion this plan. “It is reasonably well written by some very good people in the Planning Department at the County”, explains Councillor Ashdown.
With Area Structure Plans being a very general and fairly large plan, it isn’t expected that there would be a huge change anytime soon, but Ashdown says that he does expect to see applications from developers soon.
Ashdown also states that through this entire lengthy process, he heard a number of varying opinions. “From development people I heard that the area should be very large and the County should be able to consider applications on their individual merit as they come in. From acreage Residents, mainly East of Langdon I heard don’t include anything near them since the area is wet and shouldn’t be considered, there has been flooding problems and any consideration would make it worse. From some Residents I heard keep Langdon small, they moved here for the small town feel and didn’t want to lose that. From other Residents I heard to allow Langdon to grow as it will, unfettered, so that Business and Recrea-tion opportunities can be realized. I watched arguments
form for population limits based on land mass within the ASP borders and the County Plan. I heard a few different storm water concerns along with very different solutions as well as arguments that the ASP is not a storm water management tool. Surprisingly, I heard very little about transportation concerns or plans”. Although the ASP was passed, Ashdown did state that
he put forth a few amendments that would have im-pacted the boundaries of this ASP, but without enough support from other council members, his suggestions were defeated. Now that the ASP has been approved, the next steps
will the development proposals that start to come in from interested developers. As those begin to come before Rocky View Council, Councillor Ashdown recommends that residents attend those hearings to stay up to date on what could be coming to Langdon.

Langdon Legacies Projects
Spring is rolling right along and so is the Langdon Legacies Project. YELL youth and community members have been busy planning and scheduling upcoming activi-ties and events that will take place over the next few months.The Langdon Legacies Project asks resi-
dents of Langdon to consider what they want their community legacy to be, and stimulates conversation on how to pre-serve the feeling of belonging and pride in their community for future generations. To tie the feeling of unity together be-
tween generations, the Langdon Commu-nity Association presented the community with a memorial site complete with a time capsule in 1983. Langdon Lega-cies is pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to another time capsule which will be planted in the community garden this summer. The historical Time Capsule will be unearthed, followed by the plant-ing of a new time capsule at the Langdon Celebrates event on June 18th, 2016 from 9:00 am – 11:00 am at Langdon Park. This will be a very special event, we look forward to celebrating with the commu-nity. One last submissions day has been add-
ed to accommodate anyone who would still like to contribute. Submissions will be collected on May 26 from 6:00 pm to 7:30 at the WI Hall. Submissions can be dropped off by an individuals, businesses, groups or families and can include pic-tures, newsletters, or any small mementos that can fit in a large zip lock bag. Landon Legacies is also working on a
community Wishing Well where individu-
als, families, groups and organizations are invited to sign ceramic plaques to be mounted on the bricks of the well. Hop-ing to complete this project before August, we are looking for talented volunteers that have interest in designing and/or building the well within the next two weeks. If you are interested please email [email protected] or call (403) 207 7048.

Dental X-Rays – Why Your Dentist Requests Them
Submitted By:Dr. Jess hhokarLangdon Dental
If we’re not debating the pros and cons of fluoride exposure
there’s another topic that gets people all fired-up and that’s the issue of dental x-rays. Used as a diagnostic tool by dentists for over a hundred years – the need and safety surrounding the capturing of images is a common subject for conversation that can leave patients wondering what’s best for their health and teeth.
Are Dental X-Rays Safe?
The Alberta Dental Association and College, along with the Canadian Dental Association have a stringent protocol in place to ensure that all dental facilities providing x-ray services not only use technology that has been inspected and registered but also requires staff to wear dosimeters (devices used to measure cumulative dose of ionizing radiation) to measure exposure to radiation. The dosimeters are sent to a licenced facility (often Health Canada) to be reviewed and logged – and any exposure issues are acted on immediately. Safety measures are in place to ensure patient and staff
health - and equipment is serviced regu-larly to meet association requirements.
Why Are Dental X-Rays Taken?
Dental X-rays are what enables your dentist to see what is going on inside the tooth and below the gum line. Infection, root fractures, impaction and abnormal tissue growth can’t always be detected by the naked eye as in many cases the problem is actually inside the tooth or within the jaw bone. Your dentist can do a visual examination of a tooth and perform certain tests that will give some clues as to the tooth’s condition – but without an x-ray a full and accurate diagnosis isn’t pos-sible. Dental Decay that forms between teeth can be missed during a visual exam as no matter how great your dentist is – nobody can see the tight spaces between teeth and more times than not, a dental explorer can’t fit in these spaces. But an x-ray can reveal the health of tissue be-tween teeth and show if decay is present.Specific x-rays are taken depending on
the information your dentist needs to collect. A panoramic, or panorex x-ray will reveal every tooth present – whether erupted or still below the gum line. This type of x-ray is incredibly useful in moni-toring the eruption of permanent teeth and determining the position and health of wisdom teeth.

“As The Twig Is Bent, So Grows The Tree”
Dr. Nicole StordyLangdon Chiropractic and Wellness
This quote “as the twig is bent, so grows the tree” by 18th century poet, Alexander Pope, is referring to the idea that early influences on a child can have a lasting effect. This idea is true for many areas of childhood development such as using proper manners, making good food choic-es, maintaining a healthy body weight and protecting the frame of the body. For most people, it is easy to understand
why adults would see a chiropractor. Most people can understand that stresses have accumulated over their lifetime which have caused some sort of ailment or pain that chiropractic care can help to correct. What many people don’t real-ize is that chiropractic care is extremely
beneficial to infants and children alike. Imagine the birth process for the infant. It is extremely stressful on the baby’s spine and head when going through the birth canal or even worse if they have to be pulled out via C-section. Imagine learn-ing to walk and falling down repeatedly. Imagine all the times a child falls off a bike, jumps off things, wrestles with an adult or sprains their ankle. Now also imagine those kids sitting slouched over a desk at school for several hours a day or looking downward as they spend hours on their mobile devices. All these stresses on a child’s spine and body cause small mis-alignments and postural distortions that if not corrected when young, can easily lead to future problems as they continue to grow.The problems in the spine not only affect
their outward appearance with stooped postures and scoliosis but when the spine isn’t functioning properly, science and research have proven that the brain is af-fected in a huge way. If the brain receives improper messages from the spine, it will not function properly and that can affect cognition, balance, mood/temperment, organ function and more. Babies, chil-dren, teenagers and adults do not need to have pain for them to need chiropractic care. A doctor of chiropractic is trained to assess the functions and structures of the body in order to know if a chiropractic adjustment would be beneficial for the person. Many chiropractors treat people of all ages but if you are hesitant to bring a child to a chiropractor, you can request a free consult with the doctor and ask if they have experience with pediatric care and if they are comfortable with the treatment of children. Most chiropractors would be happy to answer your questions and see if they can help you and your child.

The Area Structure Plan for our area has been approved, it is a guiding document for County Administration to follow when considering applications for Development in our Area. It is reasonably well written by some very good people in the Planning Department at the County, you may have met them if you attended any of the many workshops and open houses they had over the last year and a half or so. They are satisfied that they have produced a good Area Structure Plan and the major-ity of Council agreed. As I stated at the Council meeting it was approved at, I can work with it and I like most of the text as it is written but there are some shortcom-ings that I will continue to work on over the next coming years. There was quite a few things I didn’t like about it as well as the process, but I didn’t want to hold it up for the years it would take to get it going again.These things sometimes take on a bit if a
political edge and this one was no excep-tion. I watched it go from what I thought was going to be an all-encompassing area visionary Document to more of a border establishment for a few applications. The area west of Langdon owned by Qualico that was called Painted Sky is included. It involves almost 2 quarters South of Glenmore and East of Valeview Road. The second Area is South of Buy Low, West of Centre Street East of Valeview and down to 232, essentially 2 quarters West of Boulder Creek across the highway. This is owned by Pollyco, a Developer who is currently doing the development on the East side of Strathmore among others. The third one is two quarters directly South of Boulder Creek that had an application for a Conceptual Scheme presented in 2012, which was turned down. I expect we will see applications in soon for these three Developments. The other Area that was included in the Area Structure Plan
is directly East of Langdon just South of Glenmore and North of the old Railway right of way, a very wet area that has an accepted plan for a Business Park called Leland Business Park, it was previously approved in 2006, a few years before Weed Lake was redesigned.During the lengthy process and the 2
Public Hearings I heard a few differing opinions. From development people I heard that the area should be very large and the County should be able to consider applications on their individual merit as they come in. From acreage Residents, mainly East of Langdon I heard don’t include anything near them since
the area is wet and shouldn’t be consid-ered, there has been flooding problems and any consideration would make it worse. From some Residents I heard keep Langdon small, they moved here for the small town feel and didn’t want to lose that. From other Residents I heard to al-low Langdon to grow as it will, unfettered, so that Business and Recreation opportu-nities can be realized. I watched argu-ments form for population limits based on land mass within the ASP borders and the County Plan. I heard a few different storm water concerns along with very different solutions as well as arguments that the ASP is not a storm water management tool. Surprisingly, I heard very little about transportation concerns or plans.I tried a few amendments that I thought
might solve some of the concerns and satisfy others. I tried to establish a very small Hamlet Boundary with a larger ASP Boundary and a future growth area that could be considered down the road but did not get enough support from Coun-cil. In the end I did a few amendments that meant very little and the ASP was approved. My concerns are still around flooding, transportation and good devel-opment that solves some of our shortfalls, As the applications come in there will be more Public Hearings, please stay in-volved if you can.

Our dog turns from a lazy porch hound to a laser-focused ninja when her orange rubber frisbee comes out of the drawer. She knows that we’re going for a walk, and when we throw it, she can snap that thing right out of the air, several feet off the ground. When we get home, she’ll carry it around all day. It’s her prized pos-session. Many of us have questions we carry
around with us. A deep wonder that make us perk up when we come across it again. We’ll chase after it and hold tightly to it. The right question can change the whole course of our conversations, and a power-ful question can change a life. Questions have a deep, transformative ability to reframe the way we see and engage with the world around us. What question do you hold onto and come back to over and over again?Right now our two year old is learning
that every question might be a doorway to a whole new experience. Do you want to try cotton candy? Have you ever seen a gopher before? Would you like to hear a funny song? She jumps into every oppor-tunity in the fun ways that young children do. Our questions come as gentle offers of new experiences, and her wide-eyed mo-ments of discovery become our joy. But the questions we need to ask as
adults have to strike us at a deeper and more transformative level if we’re to grow in a new way. Jesus knew that questions were powerful. His simple questions shaped the lives of his followers and crea-
tively turned over the assumptions of his detractors. His questions were not meant to stump or hang as mysteries in the air. Jesus’ questions were meant to nudge the people he engaged with. They were to land, to get at the heart of an issue, chal-lenge egos and comfort fears. Jesus knew that the right question could change a life - and it did. Sometimes we hold onto our questions
so tightly that we cannot see that there are new questions to ask. For example, when we look at problems in our neigh-bourhoods or city, we may need to ask new questions if we want to find a better solution than the one we see. Often we ask, “what is this problem doing here, and when will someone fix it?” Instead we may need to start from a new angle. We may need to ask, “Why does my neigh-bourhood or city exist in the first place, what is it intended for?”When we see our city or neighbour-
hood through a new set of questions, our focus turns to new opportunities. The best questions don’t just cover up a problem, or defer it, or drop it off on someone else’s lap. The best questions that healthy cities ask are those that nudge us towards the heart of our purpose, our aspirations, and the reasons for why we keep moving forward. What new questions could we carry
around like a dog with a frisbee? What questions will make us alert, excited, and ready for new adventures in our neigh-bourhoods? What is your frisbee question?

class malting barley and pure glacial water, so it should be no surprise that our local beer is the envy of the rest of Canada.With the provincial government easing restric-
tions previously placed on beer production, we have seen an explosion of new craft breweries popping up in our fair province, and it can be hard to keep track of them. Fortunately, your long-suffering liquor reporter
makes it his mission to seek out all the new brews in our province, painstakingly holding down barstools in seedy watering holes, in or-der to bring the latest news to you, the faithful reader.On the megabrewery side of the fence, Labatt
still has a brewery in Edmonton, but Molson has long since consolidated their facilities, with the Calgary-based Molson brewery in Inglewood closing way back in 1994, and the Edmonton-based Molson brewery following suit in 2007.The original trifecta of craft brewers in Alberta
have each been going strong for decades, in the form of Big Rock, Wild Rose, and Alley Kat.Adding to those grizzled old elder statesmen of
craft beer is a seemingly never-ending wave of upstart young breweries, each more adventur-ous than the last.Calgary is now home to over a dozen new
breweries or brew pubs, including Banded Peak, Boiling Oar, Brewsters Brew Pubs, Cold Garden, Common Crown, Dandy Brewing, Goat Locker, Last Best Brewing & Distilling, Minhas Brewery, Tool Shed, Trolley 5, Village Brewing, and don’t be surprised if a few more pop up by the time you read this.Edmonton has long been graced with Alley Kat
Brewing, but the recent additions of Yellow-head Brewing and Polar Park Brewing make our capital city an even better place for a beer.Even the mountain parks are now awash in
craft beer, with Bear Hill Brewing having brew pubs in Jasper and Banff, and Grizzly Paw recently upgrading their brewery in Canmore. What better than a local pint after a hike in the mountains or a long day on the ski hill?
Just to the south of us, Okotoks now boasts
the Six Corners Brew Works, while Turner Val-ley lays claim to the difficult-to-spell Brauerie Fahr, using old-world German recipes for their wares. My favourite from Brauerie Fahr is their
Altbier, also known as the official beer style of Dusseldorf, where your humble narrator spent many an afternoon sipping Altbier with the lo-cal frauleins while backpacking across Europe during a gap year.Even Grande Prairie has not one, but two craft
brewers, in the form of the similarly named GP Brewing and Grain Bin Brewing. Lest you think that only the larger centres in
Alberta are being blessed with local beer, even the small towns like Camrose, Edgerton, Edson, Lacombe, Fort Saskatchewan, and even pint-sized Plamondon are boasting their own craft breweries. Who would have known that small towns like this would get a brewery before they got a Wal-Mart?Your intrepid liquor reporter is working hard
to sample all these fine craft brews, but some of them are only available onsite at the brewing fa-cility or on tap in nearby restaurants and pubs, making road trips necessary to taste them all.Fortunately, with a nearly 20 craft breweries
within an hour drive, it is easy to make a quick jaunt for lunch and a beer to a different loca-tion each weekend over the summer months.Your humble narrator has been slowly work-
ing through all the new craft brewers in Calgary, with Goat Locker Brewing and Banded Peak Brewing tied for my new favourites.Goat Locker makes a pale ale that is available
in tallboy cans at well-stocked booze mer-chants. With a bready malt backbone support-ing the aromatic hops and crisp finish, it makes for an entirely quaffable summer beer, and I plan to enjoy a lot of them out on the dock over the next few months.Banded Peak Brewing only opened this
month, so they are still a bit hard to find. Your humble narrator sampled their Chinook Saison last week, and couldn’t get enough of the spicy yeast notes. The Saison style is less common here in North America than its home in Bel-gium, but has long been a favourite of the local beer geek population.Expand your horizons and support local indus-
try by seeking out the local brews that make our province great!

‘Young Frankenstein’ A hilarious hit at Stage West
By Michelle Young
The talented cast of Stage West has really out done themselves this time with the hilarious new Mel Brooks musical “Young Frankenstein”. From the creators of the record-breaking Broadway
sensation The Producers, comes this monster new musi-cal comedy. The comedy genius Mel Brooks adapts his legendarily funny film into a brilliant stage creation. Of course, decades ago, Young Frankenstein was a 1974
American horror comedy film directed by Mel Brooks and starring Gene Wilder as the title character, a de-scendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein. However, the Stage West rendition synopsis has the
Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunch-backed sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. The talented Kevin Dennis, who plays Frederick Frank-
enstein, and the rest of this amazing cast, had audiences laughing from start to finish. Costume, set design and, most impressive, the ‘Monster’
himself (played by Adam Stevenson) were very true to the era and the 1974 film that is still a favourite. Young Frankenstein: The Musical by Mel Brooks runs at
Stage West until June 26, 2016 so get your tickets today!
“Puttin’ On The Ritz” was just one of the many amazing musical num-bers in this hiarious hit!Photo: Compliments of Stage West

SCHOOL NEWSPRINCIPALS REPORT
June is right around the corner and so many things are happening at Sarah Thompson School. On May 31st at 1pm, we will be welcoming our volunteers to a “flippin for all you do” tea and waffle event. This is our opportunity to thank our incredible parent and community volunteers for everything they’ve done to help our students learn and be successful. Student engagement is en-hanced when they are given authentic learn-ing experiences. In other words, “it takes a village to raise a child”. Our volunteers have ensured that our students are provided with “real world” experiences. As in previous years, we ask for parental
input during our class configuration time. The deadline is June 15th, 2016. When staff and school administration create class lists, we look at many different factors. Some of these include; male to female ratio, academ-ic level and social emotional factors. We value parent input, and ask that should you have a specific educational request, you sub-mit it in writing to me before the above due date. We cannot guarantee your requested placement, however we take everything into consideration.
The grade configuration we anticipate for the coming year is;
Two kindergarten classesTwo grade one classesThree grade two classesThree grade three classesTwo grade four classes Two grade five classes
We are very excited to be offering a team teaching configuration in the grade three
program. Some of the benefits of this configuration include; having two minds facilitate a classroom community which allows students to connect with different personalities. Co-teaching allows more opportunities for small groups and one-to-one learning, and stronger modeling during lessons. The co-planning process encourages two teachers to bounce ideas off each other in order to deliver the strongest, most crea-tive lessons.Finally, as we begin to close out the school
year, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the incredible year it has been. Our students continue to amaze me in their commitment, and dedication to their learning. They are creative, innovative and entrepreneurial. I marvel at how quickly the members of this school rose up to meet the challenge of supporting our Fort McMurray neighbors. These selfless acts of kindness are an inspiration to us all.
Best wishes for a warm and wonderful summer vacation.
Kind regards,
Michelle DoPrincipalSarah Thompson School
Coming to the last two months of school is exciting for students. Seeing the weather finally change brings about good feelings. Often at school, we also see students finding it harder to focus on their studies during spring-time. Teach-ers will save some of the inquiry projects and field trips for the last two months to engage their students.
This year I watched the movie, When the Game Stands Tall. I enjoy watching sports and supporting my kids in them as well, this particular movie left an impres-sion on me. Coach Ladouceur said this quote, “We’re not asking you to be perfect on every play. What we’re asking of you and what you should be asking of each other is to give a perfect effort from snap to whistle.” I could not agree more with this statement. What we are asking of all our students is to bring their
“perfect effort.” Education is not about getting everything right, being perfect for our teachers and parents, or putting so much personal pressure for perfection that it debilitates emotionally. A “perfect effort” is about putting in your best and being satisfied with the result.
These next couple months students will be studying for exams, finishing projects, and learning critical skills to the very end of school. I encourage all parents/guard-ians, to inspire your children to give that “perfect effort” and not loose site of the finish line.

LEELA SHARON AHEER, WILDROSE MLA
Hello Langdon.
Spring has brought the usual nice day/rotten day progression. Let’s just dwell on the nice ones! As we watch the provincial and federal governments mortgage our children’s future, I would like to say a few words about how we in the Wildrose ap-proach politics. We do it in the way that all successful families and small business people approach their lives and business-es. It’s a “two-pillared” approach I like to think of as Inquiry Based and Solution Based Politics. Albertans are smart and want great government services for those that need them at the lowest possible cost. So how do we craft policies that reflect this? We start by asking, the “In-quiry” pillar. We don’t wait for you to tell us (although we welcome your input) we go out and ask you. What do you need? How can we make our government serve you better? Our leader Brian Jean has been all over Alberta and the rest of our team have been out in the our constituen-cies at every opportunity asking everyone we can: “How can we do better?”, “What specific things do you want changed, and why?, “What are the consequences?” Does every one agree? Of course not. If everyone you talk to agrees with you, you are not asking enough people. So let’s talk about it and reach a consensus. Out of this comes the second pillar, Solution Based Politics.A great example of Solution Based Poli-
tics is the Wildrose Jobs Action Plan. This 12 point plan lays out common sense pol-
icies that we can adopt right now that will not burden our children with debt, bring much needed confidence to our private sector, and most importantly provide help and hope to our fellow Albertans faced with job loss and an uncertain future for them and their families. The full plan can be viewed at http://wildro.se/jobsaction-plan but I would like to touch on some of the highlights.First, we want to restore the Alberta
Advantage. Once the envy of the country it has been eroded by ideologically driven agendas. We will lower small business tax, reduce red tape, and delay the imple-mentation of the Carbon Tax pending an analysis of its effect on our competitive-ness. Nobody but the current government could describe a tax that will suck an extra $1000 per year or more out your family’s pocket as “revenue neutral”.Second, we want to get Albertans back
to work. The Workman’s Compensation Board has assets far in excess of their li-abilities so we would implement a WCB premium holiday. The savings will help the private sector retain employees and expand. Along with that, we will invest in educating our unemployed friends and expand apprenticeship so they can change careers. We will aggressively pursue existing federal funding. Local economic development organizations will have our support.Third, given the huge importance of
our energy sector, we want to give them the one thing they want most: a stable competitive environment. To that end we would delay proposed changes to our electricity grid, provide short term stimulus, and fight for market access for our products. We will fight for pipelines to tidewater. Selling our resources at a discount is not acceptable. It’s not accept-able to the Albertans being shortchanged and it shouldn’t be acceptable to their government.
That’s Solution Based Politics. As always, we love to hear from you.
Leela Sharon Aheer, MLA
Late in the month of June we’ll hit the point that is equidistant from Christmas 2015 and 2016. I remember being at a baseball game in Albuquerque, New Mexico one June 25th. They ran a promotion that night and called it Half Christmas Night. Every fan coming to the ballpark was given a toque and a pair of wollen mittens. It was 99 degrees Fahr-enheit when the game started. When it came time for the 7th inning stretch, the public address announcer asked all the fans to put on their mitts and toques and sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Eight thousand fans did just that, and a lot of people had a lot of fun at the ball park that night. I wonder whatever happened to that magic feeling we had 6 months ago. Was it only 6 months ago that we wished one another well and felt that we should do something for our neigh-bour? Was it just 180 days back that we decorated homes and trees and felt good
about our life and hoped others did as well? Was it a mere half year back that we remembered things like Bethlehem and a stable and the Christchild? Where did we lose it all? What happened to those “Love Your Neighbour” thoughts and “Peace on Earth” wishes? I love Christmas. If there was a radio station that played Christmas music all year long, I would be a listener. Christmas was not meant to be a passing feeling. It doesn’t end on Boxing Day. Christmas is meant to last all year and we are meant to have that Christmas Spirit in our hearts all year long. Perhaps it is way too soon to “Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly” but it is not too soon to rekindle the Christmas Spirit in our hearts and go out and love our neighbours and be kind to all. Let me be the first to wish you a Merry Christmas.
I invite you to join us for Sunday service at 1030 at Dalemead Church

What To Know Before You Go Travel agents don’t just help you travel outside Canada, they can help
you discover the world-class experiences that are at your doorstep
Submitted By: Sheri Jolly, CTC
10 things you didn’t know about Canada
1. More Snakes in Winnipeg Than Anywhere Else - Just 130-km north of Winnipeg is the Narcisse Snake Dens conversation area, where each spring, tens of thousands of red-sided garter snakes slither out from their dens for a few weeks from mid-April to early May.
2. Secret Underground Laboratory in Sudbury, Ont. - Canada is at the forefront in the international search for new forces and forms of matter thanks to SNOLAB. Designed for the study of neutrino and dark mat-ter physics, it’s the deepest clean laboratory in the world dedicated to this type of work.
3. McGill put the Green in Green-backs - We’ve taken a lot of jabs from the U.S. for our Monopoly-coloured Canadian currency, but what most don’t realize is the green ink used for American money was invented at McGill University in Montreal, in 1857, by Thomas Sterry Hunt.
4. Harvest Icebergs in Labrador and Newfoundland - Every spring, massive islands of ice broken off of glaciers in Greenland parade through ‘Iceberg Alley’, past the coast of Labrador and Newfound-land. Entrepreneurs are harvest-ing chunks of these cool marvels for some pretty unique products, including wine, vodka, beer, and even skincare products.
5. Built a UFO Landing Pad in St. Paul, Alta - One of Canada’s most unique Centennial projects in 1967 was the building of the world’s first UFO Landing Pad in St. Paul, Alberta. The town provided the land, and local businesses provided building supplies and labour for the
raised cement pad. 6. We Have the World’s Safest
Highways (for Animals) - There are million-dollar highway overpasses in Banff National Park which have been used by grizzly and black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars, moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, wolverine and lynx. By 2014, there will be 38 wildlife underpasses and six overpasses from Banff National Park’s east entrance to the border of Yoho National Park.
7. Alberta has a National Park Larger Than Switzerland - Wood Buffalo National Park straddles the border of Northern Alberta and southern Northwest Territories. It was created in 1922 to protect the world’s larg-est herd of roaming Wood Bison, and the park is also home to the last known nesting site of whooping cranes.
8. Vancouver Island is Home To an Annual Bathtub Race - It’s a crazy competition that started as Nana-imo’s Centennial event in 1967. The first year close to 200 ‘tubbers’ raced a 36-mile course in convert-ed bathtubs - 48 finished. Today, the high-performance “bathtubs” cover the 90-minute course the last weekend of July, as part of the weekend-long Nanaimo Marine Festival, which includes a Bathtub Parade. 2013’s race day is July 28.
9. Buffalo Was Almost a Province - The province of Buffalo pro-posal was spearheaded in the early 1900’s by Sir Frederick Haultain, who was the first Premier of the Northwest Territories. His pro-posal failed to sway Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier, and in 1905 the section of N.W.T. was divided via a north-south line, creating Alberta and Saskatchewan in the process.
10. We Speak on Behalf of Santa Claus - It’s thanks to thousands of kind Canadians that kids around the world get answers to their letters and emails to Santa each year. Canada Post volunteers have an-swered more than 1 million letters in 30 languages (including braille). They ask that you don’t include cookies, but do include the postal code: HOH OHO.
