Communities in Bloom Judges Impressed with Grande Cache On July 25, two Communities in Bloom judges visited Grande Cache. They began their tour at the Tourism & Interpretive Centre, and then visited different areas of the community before ending at the Mt. Hamel Park Grande Opening. The Town participated in Communities in Bloom in 2004 & 2005, and since then had taken a break from the program. We have been in a state of transition over the past few years, and during this transition period, we felt that we were not ready to continue with the Communities in Bloom program, as we had a lot of work to do in order to improve from the previous years. In this time, we began to work hard towards our 20/20 Vision, introducing new programs, plans, and initiatives including:
> Water and wastewater production and purification > Solid waste disposal and services > Recycling > Beautification > Parks & playgrounds > Beaches > Cultural events & partnerships > Heritage development > Festivals > Trail development

We recognize that there is a lot of work to do to become the perfect “green” community, and we feel that we are heading in the right direction with our current initiatives and future projects. We also understand that Communities in Bloom is more than simply pretty flowers – and these crucial areas must not go unnoticed. A Community Profile Book was developed to explain the Town’s efforts in regards to all eight criteria as described by Communities in Bloom. The judge’s tour was then designed based on these efforts. A copy of this profile book is available at the Tourism & Interpretive Centre. After the tour, the judges were thoroughly impressed with our dynamic and progressive approach to community beautification. They said that they looked forward to visiting Grande Cache in a couple of years to see the progression of our projects. Winners will be announced at the Provincial Awards ceremony in Wainwright on September 17th.

THERE IS SUPPORT! The Town of Grande Cache is supporting two exciting new ventures that provide support to families and youth. The position of Youth Justice Coordinator has been added to the Town staffing compliment. Previously, this role was administered by the Youth Justice Committee which was a group of dedicated volunteer citizens who worked in partnership with the justice system to deal with youth in conflict with the law. Programs include family group conferencing and sentencing circles. The program brings youth and the victim as well as each of their supporters together in a safe, secure and non-judgmental environment with the intent to repair the harm done by the offender. The youth experiences meaningful and timely consequences to the offending behaviours, and the victim is empowered through direct involvement in reaching a solution. Families are encouraged to take part in the process and voice their concerns. The Youth
Justice Coordinator will coordinate conferencing and sentencing circles, training, and also be part of the facilitation team when required. F.C.S.S., Recreation, and the department of Economic Development and Tourism are actively involved in this process. Through a funding contract between Child and Youth Services and the Town of Grande Cache, Family & Community Support Services (F.C.S.S.) will become the Parent Resource Centre for Grande Cache and surrounding Co-operatives and Enterprises. Programs and supports for parents and families with children ages 0 to 18 years will include one on one and group parenting supports, Girls Night Out Program (for ages 10 to 14), and How to Make Your Budget Work, Budgeting Assistance Program. Grief and Loss Support and the Parent Resource Library will also be accessible for clients. In conjunction with other service providers in the community, F.C.S.S.
will work to expand programming in order to ensure that parents continue to receive progressive and quality programs. We are very excited that we are able to offer our community this valuable resource for parents and families. The Parent Resource Centre start up date is November 1st, 2008. For more information, contact F.C.S.S. at 780-827-2296. If you are a newcomer, don’t forget to pick up your Newcomer Package at the F.C.S.S. office. Community Coordinator Joan Evans is now compiling statistics to determine the number of newcomers moving to Grande Cache, where they are moving from, reason for the move, and if the newcomer is renting or buying a home. This information provides important demographic information to assist with future program development. Since January 2008, 153 Newcomer Packages have been handed out.
For more information on the services and programs offered through F.C.S.S., please drop by our office Monday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or give us a call at 780-827-2296 or check out the Town website www.grandecache.ca.

One Dirty Job! During late August and early September major work was completed on our clarifier located at the sewage treatment plant. The clarifier known as the heart of the sewage treatment process was worn and in need of some major repairs and that’s what it got. To understand the importance of the repairs, we first need to understand how the heart functions. When raw sewage enters the clarifier it carries the necessary organics needed to keep the treatment process alive, but lacks the aerobic bugs that mature in the later processes in the clarifier to digest these organics. These mature bugs are located in the middle of the clarifier and settle to the bottom where large rakes which continuously rotate in the clarifier, scrape the bottom of the cell and direct the mature bugs to a pumping chamber which is pumped back to mix with the raw organics. The problem was over time the rakes in the clarifier center aged
8
and needed to be replaced. Since the rakes were not collecting all the mature bugs and returning them back to the raw sewage full of organics, the process became less efficient with time. The rakes have been replaced with new parts and attention to detail has not been overlooked. The work starts with preparing the clarifier for work to be done which includes draining and manually cleaning of the clarifier center, which takes about 6 hours to complete. The major problem at sewage treatment plant is raw sewage never stops flowing and had to be directed to a holding cell with limited capacity which means time is of the essence. This being said the first of the two rakes were installed in august and the second in early September since we only had enough raw sewage storage for one rake at a time. After the rake was installed the raw sewage was treated. The original rakes had to be cut off and hoisted out of the way.
Hoisting these 15 plus foot structures over the side of the clarifier to placing the replacement rakes at the bottom was a task all its own and the public works employees along with the sewage treatment plant employees worked together to make sure everything was completed in a safe and effective manner. Once the rakes were installed in the clarifier, sacrificial parts had to be installed with extreme care to make sure they met the specifications set by the manufacturer to optimize the life of the new parts and effectiveness of the rakes to transfer mature bugs to food. With the rakes replaced the clarifier is now again working at or near the same level of efficiency as when it was new over 20 years ago. Thanks goes out to all staff involved in the successful “open heart surgery” for a job well done!
BlacK
Grande Cache hosted its’ Inaugral Black Elk Hockey Camp. The camp had 84 participants and ran from August 23 - August 29/2008 offering 84 children a chance to develop better hockey skills through intense on and off ice instruction. The Hockey School Administrator, Mr. Gord Jones was impressed with the community involvement so much that the school wants to return to Grande Cache next year. In additition to the Children’s Hockey Camp, an Adult Power Skating Clinic was made available throughout the noted six days with up to 25 people participating. The Black Elk Hockey camp would sincerely like to thank those members of our community that helped to make this camp a success. The list is exhaustive and for space sake will not be included but let it suffice to say, that our community volunteer core is alive and well. Furthermore, although the various assistant positions in the Hockey Camp were paid positions, these men and women donated their cash earnings back to the Grande Cache Minor Hockey Association which amounted to around $1100.00. The Camp would like to thank the Town of Grande Cache for it’s wonderful assistance and support and eagerly look forward to working in the commuity again.

Recreation, Culture and Heritage
As a busy summer for the Recreation, Culture and Heritage Department comes to an end and a new school year begins it is time to plan yours and your families’ fall activities. GET INVOLVED and sign up for one of the many activities that are available in the community. Our Programs department has many activities planned at the Akasaka Recreation Centre this Fall or join one of the many organizations that use the Rec. Centre. There is hockey for kids and adults, curling, swimming, figure skating, and other activities and organizations that can use volunteers or participants. While it can sometimes be a challenge to remain active during the cooler month’s recreation is a great way to maintain personal well being and quality of life.
Take advantage of the fall outdoor opportunities’ while you still can; hike up a mountain or go for a walk on one of the many trails in and around the community. The views are amazing when the leaves change colors at this time of year. Make sure you pack a camera. The Recreation Department plans to finish the playground at the United Church this fall before it gets too cold to use. Due to Equipment production and shipping delays we were unable to complete this project this summer. As we move through the fall the steering committee for the Recreation Centre Expansion project continues to work towards making a new Multi-Plex facility a reality. Town council will be meeting this fall and reviewing concepts designs, financial information and putting in place a process to make this project happen. Please attend the next open house in early October to see how this project is proceeding. See preliminary concepts below and right Visit the town’s website at www.grandecache.ca for current program details. The Recreation, Culture and Heritage Department has something for all recreation interests and activities. So take part and GET INVOLVED!

to get in shape. Aquatic exercise can achieve many benefits such as enhancing cardiovascular fitness, improving muscular endurance and overall strength and reducing muscle, bone and joint injuries.
