Youngstown’s oldest resident Laura Helsby Adams sat with her great grandchildren in the Powell Pumpkin float at the Village of Youngstown’s centennial celebration July 19 - 21. Seven hundred people registered for the weekend’s festivities but organizers estimate close to 1000 people showed up.

Village of Youngstown vibrant history In the winter of 1912 - 13, construction had begun on many business establishments and homes in Youngstown. By the 1920s the population had grown to over 700. Exceptionally dry years from 1929 to 1937 resulted in the closure of most businesses in town, as farmers moved to ‘greener pastures’. The population shrank to 100, and the town became a village. The Provincial Government, seeing the dire straits of the east

central portion of the prairies, amalgamated all the municipalities in a 50 mile radius of Youngstown under the Special Areas Act. The maintenance shops for the huge new jurisdiction were established just northeast of the village. The P.F.R.A. made its headquarters in Youngstown from 1946 - 1954 as it worked on the Red Deer River Diversion Program. The Pleasant View Home in Youngstown employed many workers and the community enjoyed population resurgence as

people moved to Youngstown for employment. The population remained at over 300 until recent years. Various factors have caused the village population to decline once more and the 2011 census showed an official population of 178. Yet, Youngstown has a lot to offer with its freedom, clean air, good water, reliable roads, school and churches, recreation facilities and friendly citizens. Youngstown remains a place of opportunity and hope.

CORONATION COUNCIL

Town governed ‘improperly and irregularly’ Thirty-seven recommendations need attention Bethany Zacharias

ECA Review Reporter A ‘Municipal Inspections Report’ was presented to Coronation Town Council, administration, staff and the public on July 16, 2013 at the Lions Rec Center, which revealed the town had been governed in an improper and irregular manner. Improper because of councillor conduct and irregular because of contraventions to the Municipal Governance Act. On April 11, 2012 council made a motion, at the request of Mayor Elliott, to request the Minister of Alberta Municipal Affairs, Doug Griffiths, to review how council was doing its job. At the time this report was requested working relationships between councillors and administration had become strained. “Inappropriate behaviour, requesting recorded votes, taking sides on decisions and personal vendettas” were just some of the reasons why this review was conducted. The Alberta Government put out a tender for the work and Harold Johnsrude of Harold Johnsrude Consulting Inc. received the tender to conduct the municipal inspection report. Johnsrude extensively interviewed council members, the mayor, staff and the CAO to complete his report. He also had

complete access to the town’s records. In Johnsrude’s report he made 37 recommendations. Minister Griffiths reviewed Johnsrude’s recommendations and wrote several directives, which were presented to council and all those in attendance at the Lions Rec Centre on July 16. The Minister’s first immediate directive was for council to direct administration to publish the Town of Coronation’s inspection report on the town website and to provide printed copies of the report on request. Griffiths’s second directive was to have council and administration review section 203 of the Municipal Governance Act (MGA), which delegates council powers and the duties and functions of the CAO. In Johnsrude’s report, he said the council meeting minutes he reviewed provided strong evidence that council does not know its role. Johnsrude went on to say the lines between council and administration had been blurred and that council had “continually crossed the line into administration”. Johnsrude goes on to say that this created inefficiencies during council meetings and at the office of the CAO. In his third directive, Griffiths told council and administration to review section 180 of the MGA, which outlines the process used to assign councillor responsibility. Griffiths made this directive to ensure all actions made by council

STETTLER COUNCIL

ECA Reporter Employees and visitors to the Stettler Health Care Complex will likely find an unpleasant surprise under their windshield wiper if people continue to ignore parking restrictions. In a three to one decision, Stettler town councillors at their regular meeting on July 16, 2013 approved a motion to appoint Alberta Health Services Community Peace Officers to enforce parking on AHS properties by way of issuing warnings and tickets under the Town’s Traffic bylaw 1941-06. Councillor Al Campbell voted against the motion because he was concerned about passing by-law enforcement to a third party. Rob Stoutenberg, CAO told council the agreement includes a 90-day opt-out clause if the town is not comfortable with how AHS Peace Officers are administrating the by-law. The parking situation has become quite serious. Staff and visitors have been consistently parking in areas that are clearly marked handicap, dialysis only, fire lanes or no parking zones. Some areas which appear to be wide open spaces perfect for parking are actually required to ensure fire trucks have access to every phase of the building at all times. Revenue collected by the Town will be retained by the Town to offset the administrative costs of the program.

Tax collection The Town of Stettler said there is only $1.4 million in outstanding tax revenue or 5.5 per cent of the total. Of that amount, $1 million relates to

those who have chosen the tax payment plan.

and the ‘Master Servicing’ study.

In response to internal disputes within council, Coronation Mayor Dawna Elliott requested on July 22 at the town’s council meeting that council consider and discuss enrolling in a Municipal Affairs dispute resolution program. “It’s a good beginning at resolving any differences,” said Elliott. An unanimous vote was needed for council to participate in a dispute resolution program. All councillors agreed to participate except Councillor Brigley. “Why do we need to enroll in a program when we can just sit down and talk about it?” asked Brigley of council. Council authorized the Communities in Bloom committee’s request to extend their walking path from the east side of Royal Street at the intersection with Imperial Avenue to the point where the sidewalk starts on the north side of the condos. Signage would be posted near or on the

In conjunction with a proposed new subdivision which received third reading on June 4, 2013, a motion was passed by council approving the closure of portions of Niblock Street, Prairie Avenue and Lakeview Avenue. These closures will provide access and vehicle parking areas to Alberta Prairie Steam Tours and the Stettler Regional Fire Department. An agreement on cost sharing and land swapping will be entered into between the Town of Stettler and Alberta Prairie Steam Tours before any work commences.

Public hearing Council has completed the subdivision and survey of a parcel of land located immediately south of the Coronation Community Hall. As part of the approval for the subdivision, it is required the Pearl Bell Memorial Garden in the south east corner of the new parcel be rezoned from ‘highway commercial’ district to ‘community service’ district. A public hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2013.

In his sixth directive, Griffiths told the CAO, Sandra Kulyk to complete the update of the Health and Safety Policy and to make sure all managers and staff are familiar with contents of the updated policy. Finally, Griffiths directed council to provide to him a monthly report by the tenth day of each month until January 10, 2014 regarding the progress the town has made with respect to completing the directives.

OPINION Breath of fresh air Brenda Schimke

ECA Review Editorialist The report is 80 pages long and the recommendations number 37. It’s a stinging rebuke of how the town of Coronation’s council has been performing their duties. The report authored by Harold Johnsrude Consulting Ltd., under the direction of Municipal Affairs, concluded that the Town had been “governed in an improper and irregular manner”. ‘Improper’ because of councillor conduct. ‘Irregular’ because there are numerous contraventions of the Municipal Government Act (MGA). The reviewer said there was strong evidence that council did not know their role and have spent too much time micro-managing-- consumed with ‘administrivia’ with emphasis on ‘trivia’—rather than strategic planning and building of cooperative relationships with other municipal partners and volunteers. But Coronation town councillors were also commended for requesting this review and for fully cooperating in all aspects of the inspection. The list of ‘thou shalt not do’ was lengthy. No more abuse of ‘in-camera’ privileges. Numerous examples of items discussed behind closed doors were highlighted, including budgets, which clearly contravened the MGA. The reviewer commented that it appeared conducting private conversations became habitual, which this newspaper can certainly attest to. As elected officials, they are responsible not for themselves but for the “whole”. Hiding away from the public and press coverage is for the private sector — not the taxpayer-funded public sector. Municipal elections are this October. For anyone seeking to run for elected office, and this applies to all elected boards, it is critical to start attending council/board meetings now. Potential candidates need to read, study and understand the legislative act that governs the body for which you intend to run. They need to know the difference between governance and administration. The learning curve is steep, start now. These jobs are not easy, they are not free-for-alls, or buddy parties. Strict rules of responsibility and conduct apply and transparency is absolutely critical. The Municipal Inspection Report on the town of Coronation is a great case study on everything that should not be done as an elected official. It must be mandatory reading for anyone seeking a Coronation council position this fall. In fact, it should be mandatory reading for all town residents as well. Indirectly they bear some of the responsibility for Coronation’s dismal report card. They are the ones who voted for the councillors in the first place, and they are the ones that should have attended enough council meetings over the past three years to know what was happening. It doesn’t take too many meetings to identify the group dynamics, the cliques, the bullies, the micro-managers, the team-players, the self-serving ones or those working for the public good. Knowing these things makes a citizen an informed voter. Much work needs to be done to improve the Coronation situation, but this report card is a great start. Now it will be encumbent upon the newly elected council to ensure that these 37 recommendations never collect dust, but become action items and a roadmap for proper procedures and behaviours in the future. As for the press, this report is a breath of fresh air. The enactment of these recommendations is being met with great anticipation that we will once again be better able to do our job of keeping the public well informed.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation calls for national referendum on abolishing the senate The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper and all Parliamentarians to let Canadian voters decide the fate of the Senate in a national referendum during the next election. At a press conference in Ottawa, the CTF also unveiled its referendum mascot, a giant inflatable balloon resembling former Conservative Senator Mike Duffy clutching an enormous briefcase of money, while holding his hand out to Canadians and asking for more. “You’ve currently got senators under investigation by the RCMP for allegedly filling their pockets with taxpayer cash. You’ve got unelected Senators gutting legislation passed by the democratically elected House. And until Harper finally appointed enough Conservatives to form a majority, you had unelected opposition senators blocking the elected government’s legislation,” said CTF Federal Director Gregory Thomas. “It’s outrageous, in the 21st century, that unelected senators are able to get away with these things.”

Taxation destroys jobs Dear Editor, In a recent letter to the editor, Leon Benoit, MP Vegreville-Wainwright, was disputing comments about the job situation. Mr. Benoit used the phrase “job creation” several times as in “We’re proud to announce the creation of 36,000 jobs for Canadian youth through the program”. I would like to invite Mr. Benoit to return to his Reform Party principles of small government. The truth and reality regarding jobs and government is that governments destroy jobs. Any money that a government puts into jobs came from the private sector along with more money to run through a wasteful, inefficient bureaucracy. Taxation destroys more jobs than governments can try to replace. Governments cannot compete with the private sector in job creation. Robert McFadzean Vermilion, AB.

“Senate reform has largely been a failure,” said Thomas. “It’s time to let Canadians decide whether they even think the senate is worth keeping anymore.” “With two years until the next election, we’ve got the perfect opportunity to have a national debate followed by a national referendum on abolishing the senate,” continued Thomas. “If a majority of Canadians vote to get rid of the senate, then federal and provincial politicians will need to get with the program.” In the past, the CTF has taken the position of ‘elect or abolish’ the Canadian Senate, however CTF supporters have recently changed their tune. In a survey conducted in June, 65 per cent of CTF supporters favoured getting rid of the senate altogether, while 82 per cent approved of holding a national referendum and letting Canadian voters decide.

New ‘Fire Permit by-law’ Bethany Zacharias

ECA Review Reporter The County of Paintearth passed a new ‘fire permit’ by-law Tuesday July 16, 2013, which includes definitions of what fires are permissible and what is exempted, who will enforce the rules of the by-law and what the repercussions are if not followed. “All of these rules were in practice before, but just not in by-law form” said county CAO Tarolyn Peach. “Basically, all this by-law does is reinforce the Forest and Prairie Protection Act,” said Peach. The new by-law allows a “fire guardian”, who has been appointed by the town and approved by the county and who will work under the supervision of a fire chief, the right to issue a fire permit unconditionally or conditionally and the right to suspend or

cancel a fire permit at any time. A fire permit is not required under this by-law for an incinerator fire--a fire confined within a noncombustible container or barrel with an opening, having a heavy gauge metal screen-- a barbecue or a camp fire. This by-law also does not apply to any industrial or commercial type incinerator that is required to be licensed under the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. Anyone who does not hold a proper fire permit is liable to a fine of $200 for the first offence; a fine of $400 for the second offence; a fine of $1000 for the third offence and so on.

High River volunteer The County will send one of its municipal employees, along with a county truck, to High River to help with flood relief if this employee is called upon to volunteer.

Sorenson gets cabinet seat As your Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, I have accepted the appointment by The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada to our Conservative Government’s Cabinet. I want everyone to know that I accepted this appointment on behalf of all of us in our Crowfoot Riding. We have worked hard for many years and we speak with a strong political voice. I renew my pledge to continue to work diligently on behalf of all my constituents and I now pledge to do the best I can in service to our nation as a Cabinet Minister. Our Conservative Government will continue to focus on creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity in all regions of the country. We have provided strong, stable government in a time of continuing economic uncertainty, kept taxes low, cut government spending and put our finances on a sustainable path. We are committed to balancing the federal budget by 2015. I am humbled by the great amount of trust and confidence that our Prime Minister has expressed for my work with this appointment. I am looking forward to fulfilling my new duties and working in my new leadership role with my colleagues in our Conservative National Caucus. As the Minister of State for Finance, I will be working closely with the Minister of Finance, The Honourable Jim Flaherty. Since the ceremony at Rideau Hall on July 15, I have been working in my new office at the Department of Finance about four blocks south of Parliament Hill. I am being briefed by many departmental officials on many files. In fact, I ‘hit the ground running’ by meeting the Finance

Ministers from all provinces and territories in a teleconference on my first day on the job. I will be the Minister of Finance’s voice in the House of Commons whenever the Minister of Finance himself is not in the House. I will be responding to the Opposition Parties during Question Period to finance-related questions. There are government bills to be ‘steered’ through the hearing process in the Chamber. Occasionally, I will be dispatched to appear in place of Canada’s Minister of Finance. My House of Commons office and my Crowfoot Constituency office will operate as usual. I will continue to work from these offices as my ‘base’. Many constituents will remember that in my earlier years as our elected federal representative, I was in the opposition ‘front benches’ as Critic for portfolios including: Solicitor General; Justice; Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. I am looking forward to this ‘higher profile’ position where I will be ‘stating our case’ and ‘setting the record straight’ when it comes to our Conservative Government’s actions to create jobs, grow our economy and prepare for Canada’s long term prosperity.

Air Canada to launch service in Red Deer Bethany Zacharias

ECA Review Reporter

These two creatures will soon find a new home at the Alberta Hunter Education Instructors Association in Calgary, AB. Taxidermy of the Timber Wolf and Dall Sheep were done by the late Steve Bagshaw, who owned Beaver Creek Taxidermy from 1983 - 2007. Rosh Bagshaw is donating her late husband’s work to the association for educational purposes and because she wanted her grandchildren to have a place to go and see their grandfather’s life’s work for years to come.

On July 10, 2013 Air Canada announced it would begin scheduled service to Red Deer, AB on September 3, 2013 with three daily flights from Red Deer Airport to Calgary. Flights will be operated by Air Georgian under the Air Canada Express brand, using 18-seat Beechcraft 1900D aircraft. This development means people in Central Alberta will be directly linked to Air Canada’s Calgary hub and, more broadly, the rest of the world. “Flights have been scheduled to enable easy connections to Air Canada’s

extensive domestic, U.S. and international network via Calgary,” said Marcel Forget, Air Canada’s Vice President of Network Planning. “This new step is a tremendous step in our continuing push to enhance business and leisure air travel opportunities for the residents of Central Alberta,” said Forget. Air Canada predicts this new service will be of great benefit to business and commerce in the area. Sample introductory one-way fares including all taxes from Red Deer are as follows: Vancouver- $188; Toronto- $227; Halifax- $334, Newark- $299; Los Angeles- $231.

Stettler Hotel revamped under new management Bethany Zacharias

ECA Review At one point in time the Stettler Hotel was the place to be . . . but over the past decades its popularity has dwindled out with people in the community. That’s until Kimberly Ko purchased the hotel in early June of 2013 in hopes of building it back up to what it once was. Aesthetics wise, Ko won’t stray far from the old make and design of the building. “It has been around since the 1930’s,” said Ko. “It’s important to me to keep the feel of the hotel authentic.” Ko, who is a classical trained pianist, says she is going to merge the worlds of

new and old when it comes to entertainment. For those with a more classical taste, Ko plans to host an event in the hotel’s ‘Piano Bar’ Saturday afternoons where guests are invited to share their talents on the piano or to sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds around them. In the beginning of August Ko will host ‘Karaoke’ nights for people wanting to belt out their favorite tune and ‘Open Mic’ nights for young musicians wanting to jam and perform. “I think our vision is perfect for the hotel,” said Ko. “We are excited to get it back to the happening place it once was.” Advertorial

ECA REVIEW

The latest trends in paint colours Are you wondering what the latest color trends are in interior decorating? If so, here’s what’s new: mixing warm and cold tones will be all the rage in 2013-2014,

a combination that will bring newfound freedom to how we harmonize colors. Here is a brief update for those who like to keep their home décor in synch with the top trends. The dramatic trend for the coming months will see yellow and blue adorning our walls. These two dynamic colours are often used in interior decorating; in fact yellow, which made an initial comeback in 2012, will continue to lend radiance to our homes in 2014. If you want to create a designer look, choose a lemon yellow combined with dark grey and black. Alternatively, mustard or honey yellow will be popular as well; blended with the reddish tones of walnut or mahogany furniture or with winecoloured accessories, these tones are sure to please. After the joyful tones of yellow come the blues to warm our hearts. Often considered a cold colour, shades like lavender blue, duck egg blue, royal blue, and periwinkle will blend perfectly with strong, saturated colours such as red, pink, or yellow. The spearhead of this latest trend is navy blue, which blends perfectly with off-whites and luminous greys to transform architectural features such as chimneypieces, staircases, or headboards.

Beautiful 2 Bedroom 1406 sq. ft. Condo in the Coronation Condo Complex, Coronation, AB Built in 2008 this home is on the 2nd floor and is a corner unit overlooking the 9th hole of the Coronation Golf course. Some of the features are Custom cabinets, Jacuzzi tub in the main bath, Large walk in closet and ensuite in the master bedroom. Large laundry room, Murphy bed in 2nd bedroom. The complex itself offers an elevator, under building heated parking, exercise and games room with kitchenette for those family get togethers. If your looking for the quiet life here it is. Give Dallas a call today and come have a look at this beautifully kept home you will be glad you did.

transforms the room into a perfect setting for all your treasures.

CERAMIC To create intrigue and dimension, the very latest ceramic wall tiles are three-dimensional; their sculpted surfaces and whimsical shapes, such as weaves, knots, and seashells, interact with the light in the room. Attractive and affordable, they will truly change the way you see your walls. Ceramic tiles imitating stainless steel mosaics are also available.

WALLPAPER Today’s wallpapers imitate an infinite number of textures, ranging from carbon fibre with a padded look to natural materials such as brick, leather, wood, and even wool. Trompe l’oeil wallpaper can imitate bookshelves or paintings, creating an optical illusion of depth, or they can display a nature theme, with enormous colourful patterns that instantly brighten a room. For a flawless classical look, wallpaper made of fibres

Falling in love with white White is making a huge comeback in interior decorating. This trend is not entirely sur prising, considering the wide range of different tones which blend perfectly with any type of dĂŠcor. Surprisingly enough, white is never really white; it comes tinted lightly, or not so lightly, to produce various effects. Emerging trends are dominated by its subtle nuances and, when it includes more colour, it provides a light and pleasing complementary touch. Warm whites tinted with ochre or brown are perfect for creating a friendly, cozy atmosphere. This year, whites also come in shades of yellow, red, and orange for creating warm dĂŠcors.

blue or gray are particularly popular for blending with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashionable colour schemes in which blue is a predominant colour. When choosing white paint, compare the paint chip with a sheet of pure white paper in order to determine the exact shade. To select the shade of white which will harmonize best with your dĂŠcor, professionals recommend testing paint samples in the natural light of the room. Test the colour close to furniture, objects, and other important elements. When associated with neutral tones, such as taupe or beige, white creates a gentle, peaceful atmosphere. On the other hand, it becomes fresh and dynamic when combined with bright colours. Synonymous with purity, cleanliness, and softness, white enhances furniture, accessories, and paintings. It also improves by being combined with quality materials such as metal and lacquered wood for a mo dern style or wicker and natural wood for a more rustic look.

Warm whites tinted with ochre or brown are perfect for creating a friendly, cozy atmosphere.

ECA REVIEW

Disability and liability insurance for farmers Agri-News It only takes a second – a slip on ice, a moment of distraction around moving machinery or unpredictable livestock, and suddenly you or one of your valued employees is injured and unable to work. It might be weeks or months before you or your employee is mobile again. Do you have a plan? “For self-employed farm owners, it is important to give careful thought to insurance options for disability and liability,” says Laurel Aitken, farm safety coordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “Those who don’t are taking a huge financial risk.” Aitken suggests farmers consider the following questions: • Do I have an emergency fund? • Can I continue to pay the wages of the employee who’s injured and to hire a replacement? • Can I afford to hire a lawyer if I am sued by a third party for injuries sustained? A good business risk management plan considers the costs associated with incidents involving disability and liability. Fortunately, insurance is available to help farmers mitigate these risks. There are several options for farmers looking to protect their business and provide income in the unfortunate case of illness or injury. The Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) is a provincially-managed system with

for employees. Employer’s liability insurance provides coverage for an employee injured on the job. In order for coverage to respond, the injured employee must sue the employer for their injuries. The coverage is usually quite limited so an employer could end up responsible for any court ordered payment in excess of the insured coverage. Aitken advises farm owners to check with both their life insurance and farm property insurance providers to ensure that they have the appropriate coverage. She adds, “Particularly those who hire seasonal or full time workers should ensure coverage is in place for these valued employees.” Risk management is an important part of any business plan. Having the right insurance in place could save your business and the livelihood of valued employees who could otherwise be without a source of income due to injuries sustained on the farm.

three basic objectives: • To provide income to the injured worker and access to medical and rehabilitation services as necessary. • To protect the employer and employees from liability claims in civil court by an injured worker. • To provide collective liability. This means all employers within an industry classification collectively assume the liability for the injury claims in their sector. Workers’ compensation is available on a voluntary basis for farm owners and their workers on Alberta farms. It is available as year-round or temporary coverage, depending on the need, and provides no-fault protection from the expense of a court case for both parties. Commercial Insurance from private insurance companies offer various types of protection based on a variety of factors specific to each farm operator: Disability insurance provides benefits to the injured individual upon satisfactory acceptance of the nature and circumstances of the claim. This insurance is often purchased as part of an employee benefits package. Liability insurance provides the farm owner with protection from claims of liability for the occurrence of bodily injury or property damage to a third party. This does not include coverage

(L - R) Back row: Troy Slemp (assistant coach), Nicola Bossert, Christine Roland (Castor), Teira Hewitt, Shekaya Blades (Hanna) Ashley Golby, Leanne Blades (assistant coach) and Mark Zimmer (coach). Front row: Jenna Wuzinski, Erin Brown, Nicole Roland (Castor), Sarah Zimmer, Ally Brigley, Jacey Gamroth (Halkirk), and Geri Slemp (Castor).

Coronation Steelers finish fourth at provincial ball The Coronation Steelers, ages 15 and under, went to Sundre July 12 - 14 for provincial ball where they came in fourth in Pool B. Eleven teams competed in the provincial ball tournament. Pool A consisted of: Airdrie, South Bow River, Medicine Hat, Delburne, Sherwood Park and St. Paul. Delburne went undefeated to win first place in Pool A, while St. Paul came in second. Pool B consisted of: Sundre, Innisfail,

In many legends, gnomes guard veins of gold, copper, coal and even diamonds. In general, gnomes are considered helpful to people and some say the gnomes have led them to underground treasures.

A gnome, (pronounced nome), is a being that appears in legends around the world. Nearly every legend describes a gnome as a tiny, human-like creature that lives inside the earth.

Which treasure belongs to which gnome? Add up the numbers along each path. The number on each gnome’s hat matches the sum of the numbers along the trail to each one’s treasure.

Gnomes are said to look like small versions of the people in the countries where they live.

Standards Link: Math; compute sums and differences to 22.

In the box at right, draw what you think a gnome could look like.

Coronation, Lethbridge and MCHA (Czar). Coronation came in first place with three wins and one loss, while MCHA (Czar) came in second place. In the semi-rounds St. Paul defeated Coronation and MCHA (Czar) defeated Delburne. The final provincial results for Pool B ended with MCHA (Czar) taking first and St. Paul, second, third place went to the Coronation Steelers and Delburne finished fourth.

A World of Gnomes

Balancing Act

Many of the early gnome legends come from Europe. When Europeans came to the Americas, they brought their stories about gnomes.

Standards Link: Social Science; students understand the importance of traditions, beliefs and customs in cultures.

Standards Link: Math; students compute sums to 30; problem solving. ANSWER: Move the stone with the number 18 from cart ʻCʼ to cart ʻA.ʼ All the carts should add up to 30.

In Wales, gnomes are also called “knockers.” It is said that they are skillful miners and can be heard hammering and knocking in deep, abandoned mine tunnels. This endless knocking and hammering led to the name “knockers.”

Can you even up the weight in these three carts? Just move one stone to another cart so that the sums in all of the carts are the same.

Look through the newspaper for words that have a silent “g” or a silent “k” at the beginning. Cut out each word. Draw a picture that shows what each word means. Standards Link: Decoding; recognize and decode consonant digraphs.

Coronation Men’s Ball wrapped up for the season. This year the team included (L-R) Back Row: Cole Elliott, Koby Sieger, Justin Schedlosky, Brandon Brown, Ryan Schedlosky, Jordan Barnes, Doug Tkach, Brad Schroeder and Anthony Glasier. Front row: Darcy Meyer, Blair Barnes, Daniel Brown, Kyle Hawthorne, Dylan Usselman and Ryan Taylor. Missing: Cam Brown, Randy Johnstone and J.J. Thacker. Find the words in the puzzle. Then look for each word in this week’s Kid Scoop stories and activities.

Nobody has actually seen a gnome. They are most likely only characters in folktales. However, little gnomes made of clay can be seen in many gardens. Can you find which garden gnome in each row is different? Standards Link: Recognizing similarities and differences in common objects.

Standards Link: Letter sequencing. Recognized identical words. Skim and scan reading. Recall spelling patterns.

Currie of sportsdeke. com: “Andy Murray won Wimbledon, ending Britain’s 77-year championship drought. ‘Is that all?’ say Chicago Cubs fans.” • Dom Cosentino of Deadspin.com, after Thomas Bjorn’s errant shot out of the rough shattered the $80,000 lens of an ESPN camera: “Best of luck to the three or four production assistants who will now be sacrificed to cover the cost.” • Matt Snyder of CBSsports.com, on the Miami Marlins hosting ‘Legends of Wrestling Night’ on Aug. 24: “The Marlins will do just about anything to get fans to the ballpark — that is, other than putting a winning team on the field.” • Headline at Fark.com: “Yankees hope A-Rod rejoins team next week. So do the other teams in the AL East.” • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “Dylan McCue-Masone, who said on Twitter he’d run onto the field during Tuesday’s All-Star Game if he got 1,000 retweets, made good on his promise and got taken down – hard – by stadium security. So what’s his new nickname, Tweeter Dee or Tweeter Dumb?” • Golfer Sergio Garcia, to AP, recalling his first British Open as a 16-year-old amateur in 1996: “The grass was taller than I was.” • Headline at SportsPickle. com: “Astros’ All-Star representative amazed by everyone making contact in batting practice.” • Comedian Argus Hamilton, on the NFL’s run of player arrests: “It’s gotten so bad that the New England Patriots just hired Robert Shapiro to be the team’s defensive coordinator.” • Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: “Sort of a slow time in sports, baseball has the All Star break, basketball and hockey just ended and football is a couple months away.

SLAP SHOTS

James Hinchcliffe racing to stardom Bruce Penton

ECA Review Columnist Hockey great Sidney Crosby, Olympic soccer star Christine Sinclair and PGA Tour player Graham DeLaet will garner their share of votes this December as Canada’s athlete of the year, but a relatively new name — James Hinchcliffe — will be part of the mix, too. In fact, the Indy Car driver, already the winner of three races in 2013, could run — sorry, drive — away with the award. It’s been years since Canada has had a strong presence in Indy Car racing. Paul Tracy was one of the world’s best at one time and Greg Moore had great potential but he died too soon. Before that, the Villeneuves, Jacques and Gilles, were among the world’s best. Now, it’s Hinchcliffe. The Oakville, Ont., native was the Indy

Car Series’ rookie of the year in 2011 and was signed by Andretti Autosports to replace Danica Patrick in the Go Daddy.com car on the circuit. “I hope I can fill her heels,” cracked Hinchcliffe. He has, and more. Driving the No. 27 car for Andretti (the same car number driven by the two Villeneuves), Hinchcliffe won two of the first four races in 2013 — the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Fla., in March and the Itaipava Sao Paulo Indy in Penton Brazil in May. Just to prove those two wins weren’t flukes, he captured his third checkered flag June 23 at the Iowa Corn Indy 250. He’s tied for the lead in wins this season with Scott Dixon, who won three races in a row in July. Hinchcliffe would have loved to thrill his hometown fans with a win at one of the

two races in Toronto in mid-July, but he came up short, finishing seventh in the first race and 21st the next day when a stuck accelerator got the team off to a bad start. Still, mark down 2013 as the year Hinchcliffe became a household name in the world of autosports. “It’s so cool to see how far we’ve progressed and more and more fans are taking notice and they’ve got a Canadian to cheer for and that’s what it’s all about,” Hinchcliffe told Jonathan Brazeau of Sportsnet. The next time Hinchcliffe presses down hard on the accelerator will be Aug. 4 at the Honda Indy at Lexington, Ohio, going for victory No. 4. Canadian driver of the year? For sure. Athlete of the year? Three wins in one year should probably be enough. Four would lock it up.

SPORT Shorts • Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: “Matt Garza apparently has been told he’ll be traded, though he doesn’t want to leave the Cubs, as he believes the team is headed in the right direction. ‘I don’t think we are far away from winning.’ Sounds like Garza is getting out of Wrigley just in time, he’s becoming delusional.” • NBC’s Jay Leno, on the dying Cleveland fan who requested six Browns players serve as his pallbearers: “The bad news? They fumbled the coffin five yards from the grave.”
