PROVIDING ESSENTIAL CONTEXT
By Barbara Watson
A house without a garden is
sad. The rescue and restoration of
the Ewart Duggan house from possible decay led to recreating its garden.This did not mean just planting
a few flowers and ignoring the
shrubs and bushes. The garden, if it
was to be true to its original owners’
spirit, had to be researched with
great care. The garden care has
been accepted by a group of enthusiastic people devoted to gardening. Malcolm Sissons, whose family’s
first bricks became part of the
house, is a dedicated member of
these green thumbs. He made sure
to say that he was not one of the
more talented green thumbs but
could be counted on for work that
did not require a highly developed
esthetic talent.
This group formed a committee, which works, as committees do,
to achieve a common goal. There
was planning, which meant
researching what the original garden looked like, and what plants
and trees were used in it. The
archives at the Esplanade had photographs that gave them a place to
begin. There was a white picket
fence in front of the house and five
trees visible. Two ladies in white
dresses pose for a camera. The
dresses are likely to have hinted at
the 1910 date. So, I did a little
research, and checked out the 1910
Medicine Hat newspaper.
Yes, those dresses are about
right for 1910. I spent several hours
checking for the Duggan name to
appear in the pages of the Medicine
Hat News. The newspaper is digitized and available online from the
late 1800s to 1922. I did not find ref-
The Esplanade Archives provided this fascinating photo
of the Ewart Duggan House and yard in 1910.
erence to the Duggans, but did find
advertisements for ladies’ and gentlemen’s clothing. The dresses were
just like those of the ladies on the
lawn in front of the Ewart Duggan
house. Look at these newspapers
yourselves by going to Our Future
Our Past, and then clicking on Early
Alberta Newspapers. You can spend
hours finding out what was happening in Medicine Hat and the
world at that time – hot off the
press. You might not find what you
are looking for, but you will always
find something of interest and
value.
Perhaps it is the same with a
garden. When the project to recreate the Ewart Duggan garden as
nearly to the original was begun,
there were plants that had no place
there, that had come from another
decade. Chokecherries were choking out much of the garden and volunteers removed all but one bush.
In the first year of work the spruce
trees, whose roots were threatening
the somewhat fragile foundations
of the house, had to be removed.
As the work progressed, individuals adopted a particular flowerbed
to tend. Volunteers did more
research to determine what plants
were grown in gardens in that era.
Malcolm Sissons and family donated part of their rhubarb. It was
almost certain that this source of
fruit, a hardy plant, would have
been in the garden. The plant that
came from Malcolm’s garden was a
portion of his parents’ plant, which
had been a part of his grandparents’ original plant and had grown
in the garden beside that of the
Ewart Duggan house.
The picture above shows the
white picket fence next to the sidewalk. This romantic tradition had to
become part of the context of the

We have been handing out candy at Halloween for many decades but the
research that is now coming through is leading us to believe that we are actually
hurting our children a lot more than we thought. Everyone has cut back a little on
how much candy their children should have at Halloween, but perhaps in light of
new evidence, they shouldn't have any.
Ingredients of candy includes: high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners,
food dyes, preservatives, artificial flavorings and GMO's. If you want deeper
information: www.care2.com/greenliving/6-ingredients-to-avoid-when-you-buyhalloween-candy.html#ixzz3FcRrVZAe.
Let's put this into perspective. With all the serious viral infections, autism, ADD,
and other child disorders, do we really need this onslaught to make things worse? By
far, sugar is the worst culprit. It suppresses the immune system, causes copper
deficiency, interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium, causes
hypoglycemia and diabetes, leads to an acidic digestive tract, chromium deficiency
and a whole host of other problems. www.nancyappleton.com/141-reasons-sugarruins-your-health/
It is difficult to tell children, no more halloween, but perhaps we can change it
up a bit. They can still dress up, but we can give them little presents to play with, or
toys instead of candy. There are lots of things at the dollar stores that can be
obtained to give out and these things last and can be used for a long time.

Amish isn’t a style. It’s a standard of
excellence - desired by many and practiced by a very rare few. It’s in the fine
details of solid hardwood drawers, finished
inside and out to protect delicate clothing
from damage. It’s in the skill of genuine
Amish craftsmen, faithfully passed down
from one generation to the next.
But most of all, it’s in the beauty of
America’s richest hardwoods, handcrafted
in a thousand different styles - from country cabinets that are the hallmark of Americana, to contemporary designs that say,
“Move over, Herman Miller, the Amish are
in the house.”
With Simply Amish furniture, you’re the
ultimate designer. We make recommendations, but you make the call - choosing the
wood, stain and hardware that make your
selection complete. We’ll even work with
you beyond the options you see in this
catalog, giving you the ability to create a
wooden work of art that’s truly one of a
kind.
Your Furniture. Your Way.
When we say “custom-built” we mean
it. At Simply Amish, you choose the wood,
the stain and every other element that
goes into making your selection unique.
We don’t start construction until we
receive your order. From that point forward, your job is tracked by your name, so
that each craftsman knows the person
they’re building for. And in the rare event
that your furniture becomes damaged or
needs to be repaired, we’ll return it to its
original maker, to be restored to the way it
looked the day it left his shop.

The national code process protects consumers by
providing a disciplined, science-based approach for
properly assessing changes. It focuses on core objectives of life safety, energy efficiency, and protects minimum standards for overall building performance. Proposed changes are reviewed for their impact in various
climatic conditions across the country and against
other considerations such as fire protection, durability,
reliability, practical implementation, technology availability and cost. This is done to avoid an undue technical or economic impact to one region of the country
by a proposed change. Whatever changes are made,
those changes will have to make economic sense.They
should demonstrate long term cost-effectiveness and
protect affordability and choice for new home buyers.
This process creates a level playing field for all
builders and buyers across Canada. It also reduces self
promotion and interference by special interest groups
and product promoters that can add additional cost,
unnecessary change, and other unintended consequences to the housing industry. Lastly, it gives an
opportunity and a vehicle for broad stakeholder input
and debate, and that is essential in any process.
This shouldn’t take any jurisdiction by surprise.
Codes are developed by the National Research Council in Ottawa as “model” codes and then reviewed and
implemented by each of the provinces. Municipalities,
builders, trade groups, manufacturers and other participate in the creation of the codes through special
task groups, standing committees and consultations.
For home builders, their major information transfer
point is the Canadian Home Builders’ Association.
When there are large changes to codes, such as
increasing the energy efficiency of buildings, the
industry will begin to respond to changes under discussion by experimenting with the best materials,
methods and equipment to help the industry meet
the needs of the code while still delivering reliable,
durable, and cost effective homes for consumers.What
they learn as they adapt will be fed into the Code
process to help refine the code and head off any
potential pitfalls.
There is no question, it is important that codes be
updated. That said, efforts need to focus not just on
new homes, (a relatively small number of all homes
built each year), but should include initiatives and
incentives to improve and renovate the far larger universe of older homes - homes which have much lower
energy and water efficiency. this sometimes gets lost,
but code changes cannot create a standard that
makes renovations cost prohibitive or forces those
renovations underground.
Let’s not fall into the trap that fast is better. Let’s
take the time to do it right - everyone wins when that
happens.

Building codes can be a puzzle for many, and in
most jurisdictions, they are under constant scrutiny. You
may have noticed different interests pushing for one
thing or another that requires a change to the building
codes. Seems everyone is in a hurry. Their issue cannot
be dealt with fast enough, but sometimes being in too
much of a hurry can create more problems than are
solved. True enough, the building code process is a long
and cumbersome one, but it is that way for some very
good reasons.

(MS) Competition has always played a significant role in the business world, and today's
business owners know that the competition for
customers is a never-ending battle. For startup
owners, that competition can prove even more
challenging.
Successful startups often credit their initial
marketing efforts as a linchpin of their evolution
from startup to successful business. Marketing a
startup involves careful consideration of a host of
factors, and what's proven successful for one
company will not necessarily produce similar
results for another. But there are some elements
of marketing a startup that owners can employ
regardless of the type of business they're beginning.
* Keep your initial focus narrow. Successful
startups often start with a small target customer
base and go from there. Though it can be tempting to market your business to any and all potential customers, targeting a small number of customers who are most likely to help you establish
the business could be more in line with your initial
meager marketing budget. Once those customers you initially targeted have helped you
establish and grow your business, you can then
consider targeting a broader customer base.
* Use local media to your advantage. Local
media can be a friend to startups if the owners of
those startups allow them to be. Contact the
local newspaper and local radio station to let
them know your business is opening. Let local
newspaper reporters try your product and write a
review, and go on local radio to announce your
grand opening, which should include some type
of incentive (free food, product raffles, etc.) to
attract potential customers. Local media benefits
when local businesses thrive, so developing a
partnership with local media early on can prove
beneficial to your startup for years to come.
* Use social media to your advantage. Traditional media isn't the only media startup owners

can use to their advantage. Social media is
another way to engage customers; just be sure to
use your social media platform for more than just
promotion. While promoting products is a great
way to use social media, such platforms also are
an ideal way to share interesting information
about your products and even you and your
employees. Social media platforms now vary
greatly, and each can be employed in different
ways. For example, Instagram is a great way to
share photos of new products or in-store events,
while Facebook can be a great tool to share the
story of your business and how it came to be.
* Reward loyal customers. Customers love to
know their loyalty is being rewarded, and incentivizing that loyalty is a great way for startups to
establish a customer base. LoyalBlocks, for example, is a loyalty-marketing tool for traditional brickand-mortar businesses that allows them to connect with their customers, who can earn special
offers or rewards toward products each time they
check in on their smartphones when making purchases in the store. The cost of enrollment in such
a program or the cost of incentivizing purchases
will likely prove negligible the larger and more
loyal your customer base becomes.
* Don't shy away from recognition. Recognition of your efforts is a great way to build a strong
reputation, so don't be afraid to participate
when communities are doling out awards to local
businesses. You may or may not need to apply for
such awards, but don't feel sheepish if you must
apply. Awards make for great (and often free)
publicity, and awards are earned on merit, so
they're nothing to be embarrassed about.
Building a startup can be as challenging as
it can be rewarding. Marketing plays a significant
role in many successful startups, and there are
many steps startup owners can take to market
their business effectively.

(NC) Winter travelling
can be hectic and chaotic
so for peace of mind, do
take the time to develop
some clever strategies
before departing. With
weather delays, heavier
crowds and increased airline fares, it's important to
be organized.
To help ease the stress
of planning for your annual
vacation,here are three
essential tips to ensure a
worry free trip:
1. Be strategic about
booking – The cost of
flights can add up quickly.
Knowing when to purchase
your ticket and when to
depart are key ways to
reduce your ticket price.
2. Make sure you're
covered for mishaps – 80
per cent of Canadians cite
lost or delayed luggage as
one of the most frustrating
things to happen while on
vacation and 78 per cent
have been frustrated by
cancelled or delayed
flights.
3. Make airport security
a breeze – Arrive with plenty of time to spare and
don't over pack - stick to
the essentials only. Have
your travel documents in
an easy-to-reach place and
separate all liquid and gels
into a separate baggie.

First Place / Première Place
Two Minutes
By: Hareem Masroor, Nanaimo, BC, Dover Bay Secondary
School, Seaview Centennial Br. #25
Two minutes of silence is all we have to remember the fallen. I look up
and see the veterans. The medals on their uniforms gleam in the sunlight. The
call for the two minute silence was made. As their heads hung, their faces
reveal sorrow from the memories of the war, however there’s also a glimpse of
strength, pride and relief. I turn my head to the left and see a row of brightly
coloured poppies pinned onto the shirts of those I see. For most of us kids it
was unnatural to be in such a quiet setting, but once I closed my eyes I began
to dwell into the mindset of why we remember. It was here when I realize that
there was more to this silence than simply trying to remember soldiers, nurses
and others who participated meet horrific ends.
These two minutes allow us to think deeply.War was able to destroy lives
of so many families and innocent people, but it wasn’t able to destroy the hope
that clinged within them, the action to carry on nor the ability to ever say our
county “will never win.”It is this significance that marks an important feeling in
our hearts.The reason we have silence is to mark the end of war.We remember
more than lost lives within two minutes. We reflect on what the soldiers were
fighting for, how they chose to enter darkness in order to give us light. Their
harsh conditions brought us all comfort and freedom, their struggles on the
battlefield is what gave us a strong country, their lives were given to let our
children move on and start life at a better place.
It seemed as if the whole place fell still, frozen in time. This moment is
when we all put aside our boundaries such as gender, religion and class to
unite in remembrance. The silence breaks with a strong sound coming from a
trumpet as it plays the song “The Fallen.” Afterwards the ceremony concludes
with speeches and then a last march accompanied by bagpipes. I noticed tears
spring from a veteran’s eyes. It filled me with just as much sadness. I couldn’t
imagine the pain and sorrow it must have been to watch comrades die in front
of your eyes or to know that you couldn’t see the faces of your loved ones ever
again. After all I was just a kid and the idea of war was so distant. It really is
admirable when you think about it, these people were just neighbours and
good citizens, yet they had the courage to fight in war and leave their homes
to protect the future of their country and generations. To me that deserves a
huge recognition and award. I walked over to the veteran and plainly replied,
“thank you for your service and God bless you all for what you did.”I know that
words can’t truly express the debt that we owe them but it still felt right to
show this person how grateful I was for his and all the fellows veterans
services.
Remembrance day, it comes only once a year, but on this one day the
heart of the ceremony comes from the silence. It gives us some understanding
about war and the effects of sacrifice, a lesson seldomly seen and also a lesson
that can never be truly grasped from books. We recognize the efforts of mere
strangers who placed themselves either at land or sea to make sure that we’re
given the opportunities that we have today. This gives us an infinite way of
honouring, respecting and giving our thanks to these soldiers. I stand taller,
walk prouder and feel confident that I am a Canadian. What’s great is that I’ve
learned most of this through silence, a two minute silence.

• Wear comfortable,
sturdy shoes. Although kids
might want to wear shoes that
match the costume, shoes that
fit well and are comfortable are
a safer bet. This will help
prevent tripping and falling
over cumbersome shoes. It also
reduces the risk of developing
blisters and discomfort when
walking from home to home.
• Go trick-or-treating in
groups. Children should not be
allowed to go out in search of
candy alone. Going in a group
means that someone can get
help if need be.
• Be visible. When trick-ortreating at night, take steps to
improve visibility. This includes
using reflective tape on
costumes and carrying a
flashlight or glow sticks so that
other pedestrians as well as
drivers will be able to see
children.
• Stick to the sidewalks.
Children should stay on
sidewalks and cross the street
only at established crosswalks.
• Do not enter homes.
Unless a child is with an adult
and the home is owned by a
trusted friend, kids should not
enter homes for treats.
• Avoid candles and jacko-lanterns. A costume can
easily catch on fire, so it is best
to steer clear of candles,
luminaries and lit pumpkins.
• Accessorize safely.
Select flexible swords and
knives
if
they
are
accompanying a costume.
Avoid rigid items that can cause
injuries.

• Avoid distractions. Trickor-treaters should not be
wearing earbuds or talking on a
phone while trick-or-treating.
They should be paying
attention to their surroundings
and using caution.
• Consume only factorywrapped treats. Well-meaning
people may hand out cupcakes
or marshmallow cereal treats.
The ingredients used and the
safety of these treats cannot be
confirmed, so it is best to stick
with
store-bought
items
instead.
• Adults should drive
carefully. All drivers should
slow down and anticipate
children darting out into the
roadways on Halloween. Drive
slowly and pay attention to the
roads.

Think Work, Not Just "Job"
The global economy,
the 24/7 work week and
rapidly changing technology are some of the many
forces that are shaping the
way Albertans work. The
traditional “nine to five, five
days a week” job with a single employer at a specific
workplace is now only one
of an increasing number of
ways to work.
This is good news if
you’re among the growing
number of workers looking
for more flexibility to deal
with changing family and
personal needs, or seeking
better work-life balance.

D&D Oilfield Rentals provides the safe, convenient,

working shake up the traditional concept of holding
the same full-time job or
staying in the same occupation over the span of
your working life. This
growing range of work
alternatives opens up a
number of options about
your work and how you do
it. For example, instead of
working full-time for one
employer, you may be happier working part-time and
starting your own consulting business on the side.
Check out these work
alternatives:
Full-time and parttime work: working fulltime for more than 30
hours a week, or part-time
for fewer than 30 hours a
week, for a single employer.
Advantages include security, a predictable income,
benefits (fewer benefits for
part-time workers) and a
feeling of belonging. These
TRICAN WELL SERVICE is one of Canada’s fastest growing
pressure pumping companies, with operations in Canada, the US, Russia, Kazakhstan and
North Africa. Recognized for technical leadership and innovation, Trican provides
specialized, engineered and integrated solutions to customers involved in the exploration
and development of oil and natural gas reserves,Trican’s services include fracturing, coiled
tubing, cementing, acidizing, nitrogen, microseismic and industrial services.
At Trican, we are proud to have received numerous accolades as a top employer, as we
believe success begins with our people. We hire and reward those who are motivated,
results and service-oriented, team players, career-driven, honest, ethical and adaptable. If
that sounds like you, we invite you to apply for the following positions:
are often offset by limited
control and flexibility.
Multi-tracking: working in two or more work
roles at the same time, e.g.
working part-time for two
employers or holding
down a job and running
your own online sales business as well. Multi-tracking
allows you to pursue a variety of interests, gives you
the security that comes
from having more than one
source of income and
increases your flexibility.
Some drawbacks are the
increased pressure on
leisure time and the need
for strong time-management skills.
Job sharing: sharing
with one or more people
the responsibilities of one
job for a single employer.
Job sharing has the same
advantages and disadvantages as full- and part-time
work, with the added challenges of ongoing communication with your job partner and the added benefit
of your partner’s support.
Contracting: working
for a specific employer for a
set length of time. This
option provides variety, a
feeling of independence
and flexibility. Drawbacks
include
unpredictable
income due to long gaps
between contracts, lack of
benefits and limited security.
Self-employment:
marketing and delivering
services or products in a
one-person
operation.
Many home-based businesses are examples of selfemployment. This option
offers flexibility around the
type of work you do, and
where and when you do it.
Challenges include the
need to constantly find
clients for your products or
services, long hours, a
financial investment, unreliable income, administrative
chores, such as tax preparation and bookkeeping, and
no benefits.
Talent pooling: offering services or products as
part of a group of selfemployed people with
common interests and different talents. Talent pool
members direct opportunities to each other and provide services for one another’s clients. For example, a
wedding planner may be
part of a talent pool with a
caterer, a photographer
and a floral artist. Talent
pooling allows you to specialize, reduces work search
time and creates opportunities. This is balanced by
the need for good team-
work skills and the disadvantages of self-employment.
Consulting: working
to complete specific tasks
within specific time frames
on numerous projects for a
number of clients. This
option offers variety, flexibility and independence.
Offsetting this are constant
pressures to find the next
project,
long
hours,
increased administrative
tasks and an unpredictable
income.
Entrepreneurship:
working as a self-employed
person but also hiring others, e.g. owning a franchise
business. It has the same
advantages and disadvantages as self-employment.
Entrepreneurship involves
greater financial risk,
including the responsibility
for other people's livelihoods, but it also offers
more income potential.
As change continues
to shape the work world,
you may be able to tap into
its potential by focusing on
the work you want to do,
rather than the job you
want to get. Expanding the
way you think about work
can increase your chances
for creating balance and
finding success in all
aspects of your work and
life.
