The Sole Survivor foot face drew well over a hundred participants.Photo by Katelyn Dingman

Runners ran the Soles out of their shoes at the annual Sole Survivor foot race

Runners gathered at Pete’s Park on Friday eve-ning for the annual Sole Survivor foot race.

“It went really well,” said event organizer Sasha Harriot. “It was probably our best location yet. It was a great atmosphere and I think everybody really enjoyed it.”

The annual event drew well over a hundred participants, with locals and even out of towners coming out to participate in the two km, � ve km, 10 km and 10 mile races.

“The scenery is amazing, the people are really friendly,” Taber, Alberta resident Billie-Jo Fergu-son said. “It’s a really well organized race.”

Ferguson coaches a running camp in Taber and has been participating in the Sole Survivor foot race for four or � ve years now.

This year, Ferguson brought one of her clients to the event.

“It was a really enjoyable run,” said Ferguson. “It’s just such a fun race to come to.”

But with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) dropping their funding, Harriot said the races’ future is uncertain.

“The committee is banding together and there’s interest from outside of the committee to help continue,” said Harriot.

This was the � rst year RBC didn’t sponsor the race and the lack of funding created some chal-lenges.

“Their title really, really helped carry the race the way it is, with ease. Without that title we had to make a bunch of changes,” she added.

This year, Sole Survivor organizers had to cut some things, including the age category prizes.

But with support from the community, organiz-ers were still able to provide the overall winners for the 5 km, 10 km and 10 mile race with prizes.

“We had lots and lots of support,” Harriot said.Runners Sole provided � rst place winners with

a voucher for a free pair of Brooks Shoes.And Harriot said with support from the com-

munity, they were able to gather lots of draw prizes as well.

History was made at the Albert Stella Arena in Blair-more on Sunday, July 13 during the Crowsnest Pass Ra-vens junior lacrosse game against the Medicine Hat Sun Devils.

Captain Jace Bohmer capped off an unbelievable season by scoring his 100th goal of the regular season in the 16-7 victory. To put this accomplishment in perspective, up until this season the all-time record for the most goals in one season at any level of junior lacrosse in Alberta was 59 goals, which as it happens were scored by Bohmer in the 2012 season. Three other players have scored 58 goals in one season, and this season a player from Vermilion topped Bohmer’s former record with 62 goals.

However, all of these goal scoring sprees pale in com-

parison to Bohmer’s astonishing 100 goal campaign. For good measure, Bohmer also broke the Tier III single-sea-son assist record by notching 47 assists on the season, for a total of 147 points, again an all-time Alberta junior record, surpassing the previous record of 119 points in a season.

Bohmer’s scoring and leadership helped the Ravens take two of their final three games of the season prior to head-ing off to Provincials in Olds on July 18-20. On July 4, the Ravens blanked the Calgary Wranglers 25-0 in the Ravens’ most one-sided game of the season. Bohmer tallied seven goals, with Brett Tarcon adding four, David Shortreed and Tyler Ambrosi with three each, Graham Brown and Derek Tarcon with two apiece and singles to Trenan Shortreed, Daniel McLain and Nik Jordan. Haden Houze was not called upon to make many big saves, but did what he had to preserve the shut-out, a very

rare occurrence at the junior level of la-crosse.

On July 11, the Ravens hosted rivals High River Heat, who they had beaten just over a week before in High River. The game was a highly entertaining af-fair, with High River pulling ahead 4-3

after one period. Each team managed a pair of goals in the second period and then some penalty trouble for the Ravens and a very efficient Heat power play allowed the Heat to take the 11-9 victory. The teams will likely meet next weekend in a Provincial semi-final if everything goes to form. In the game, Jace Bohmer and Tyler Ambrosi led the Raven attack with a pair of goals each. Single goals went to Graham Brown, Trenan Shortreed, Brett Tarcon, Derek Tarcon and Brock Draper.

In the regular season finale on Sunday, July 13, the Ra-vens battled the always tough Medicine Hat Sun Devils at the Albert Stella Arena. The Ravens charged out to 4-1 lead before the Sun Devils scored a couple of late markers to make it 4-3 Ravens after one period. A few strategy changes and a better team effort by the Ravens led to 8 goals in the second to only one for Medicine Hat and a 12-4 lead going into the third. Captain Jace Bohmer was sitting on 98 goals entering the final period of the regular season. Bohmer made a quick attack and scored 21 seconds into the period to reach 99 goals. Two shifts later, Bohmer notched the magic 100 on a slash-ing drive to the net, beating the keeper through the five hole. The game was stopped and the referee presented Bohmer with the ball from the historic goal. The Ravens

and Sun Devils traded goals over the rest of the frame, ending with a solid 16-7 victory for the Ravens. Bohmer got his required six goals to make the hun-dred, with Brock Drap-er notching a hat trick and Brett Tarcon add-ing a pair. Single goals were scored by Michael Kenney, Trenan Short-reed, David Shortreed, Noah Devine and Der-ek Tarcon.

The Junior Ravens finish off the season at the Provincial Tourna-ment in Olds on July 18-20. First up in the draw for the Ravens will be the Calgary Axemen, an ornery lot who the Ravens have handled decisively in both their match-ups this season. A win against the Axemen will put the Ravens in to the Provincial semi-final. Coach Joey Am-brosi isn’t looking past the first game at the tournament. “On any given day, any team in this league can beat any other team. We will have to be ready to play against the Axemen right from the open-ing whistle. That said, we had a great regular season and the guys are primed and ready for a great playoff run.”

History of the old Roxy TheatreBy Barbara van Vierssen TripSubmitted

On Sunday, May 25th 1953 any passersby who hap-pened be walking out after dark in downtown Coleman and happened to glance up at the window in the Roxy Theatre may have seen a startling sight: a young woman ‘sleeping peacefully on a bed of over 2500 nails.’ The lady in question, Erna, was performing a publicity stunt lead-ing up to the midnight start of a performance hailed by newspaper advertisements as being ‘carried out in the tra-dition of East Indian Mystics.’ It was also simply one of many times the Purnell Theatre Company tried to bring in exciting and different theatre experiences for the peo-ple of the Pass.

The first movie theatre in the Crowsnest Pass was The Rex theatre in Bellevue. It was built in 1917 by Mr. and Mrs Cole, who went on to open up The Orpheum in

Blairmore and finally The Palace in Coleman. These theatres held gala affairs, meetings, recit-als, festivals, rallies and even visits from Santa. The variety of events continued when the Pur-nell Brothers bought the theatre chain in 1947.

Tragedy soon struck the theatre chain (and downtown Coleman) on February 16, 1948. In a blaze so large 54 men battled for hours to try and contain the inferno, the Palace and several other buildings on the main street of Coleman burnt down. A total of $116,000 in damage was done. In the ensuing chaos, several people looted the businesses and homes attached to the buildings at risk.

The experience was traumatic for many own-ers and the Purnell brothers were able to buy the two lots beside the ruins of the old Palace theatre. They built a brand new theatre, the Roxy, where once the Palm café stood.

The new Roxy quickly became a showpiece for theatres in the Crowsnest. On May 1, 1949, the Roxy was the site of the Canadian pre-miere showing of gunslinging movie ‘El Paso.’ Ed Somshor, the booking manager for Purnell Theatres, managed to ‘make a movie scoop’ over theatres in Toronto, Montreal and Van-couver. In contrast, many films made their way to the Crowsnest either completely out of sea-son or years after their Hollywood premier. The Christ-mas movie ‘The Bishop’s Wife’ with the amazing Cary Grant playing an angel come to make Loretta Young’s wishes come true was released in 1947 but didn’t make its way to the Roxy until May 1949.

December 15, 1950 another fire hit the Roxy, this time

burning the interior but leaving the building more or less intact. Fortunately, this time the theatre was not lost like the Palace Theatre. The interior was refinished and opened after not much delay, and continued as a theatre and performance hall until the 1990’s.

If you would like to hear more about the Old Roxy, or any of the buildings and businesses which were affected by the 1948 fire, come visit the Crowsnest Museum at

7701 18th Ave. or stop by at 11 a.m. through the summer for our daily walking tours.

“...and once the TAR (Target Acquisition Ra-dar) has lock-on, this light will go green. Then just push this button here, and the rest’s automatic. Good luck! Oh, and make sure nobody’s standing be-hind the missile when you launch.”Maybe the crew who launched the missile that brought down Malaysian Airlines flight 17 over east-ern Ukraine on Thursday afternoon were trained professionals, but it seems unlikely. That crew (or somebody else) was good enough to down three Ukrainian Air Force planes over the rebel-held zone in the past week, but they weren’t good enough to tell the differ-ence between a military aircraft and a civilian airliner. The Ukrainian planes were smallish aircraft flying low in a combat zone; the huge Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 was flying straight and steady at 10,000 metres (33,000 feet). A fully trained operator would know the difference in an in-stant. Somebody who had just had a crash course in firing Buk missiles (two tracked vehicles and a lot of electronics) might not. So 298 people died.There are two questions to answer here. One is: who did it? The Ukrainian government, the pro-Russian rebels and the Russian Federation have all denied responsibility. The other is: what happens if, despite their denials, the rebels and/or the Russians themselves are to blame? Is this horrible event a “game-changer”?Who did it is actually pretty obvious. At least one Buk launch team was spotted by an Associated Press reporter in the reb-el-held zone on Wednesday, and there may have been more. The Russians have been trying to deny the air-space over the combat zone to the Ukrainians so that their army has to do all its fighting without air support and suffers increased ca-sualties. Six Ukrainian planes have been shot down in the past six weeks.The Ukrainian government says it has no surface-to-air mis-siles in the area, and it is probably telling the truth. With one possible exception, there have been no reports of Russian planes overflying the region, so anti-air defences were not needed.The really damning evidence, however, is on the social media sites. First there is a post on a top rebel commander’s site, just at the time MH17 went down, claiming to have downed a Ukrainian transport plane. Within hours that post was de-leted. Then the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) posted in-tercepted telephone conversations between rebel command-ers on YouTube. “Demon”, commanding the rebel troops who are the first to the crash site, reports: “Cossacks from the Chernunkhino checkpoint shot down the plane....They found the first body. It’s a civilian.” “Were there many people?” asks his superior, nicknamed “Greek”. “A fuckload,” replies Demon. “The de-bris rained right into the yards.” “Any weapons there?” asks Greek. “None at all. Civilian things. Medical stuff, towels, toilet paper,” says Demon. “Any documents?” asks Greek. And Demon, finally realising what must have happened, replies: “Yes. From an Indonesian stu-dent. From Thompson University.” And he curses again.It’s pronbably not Thompson University, which is an entirely online institution in the United States. It’s almost certainly Thompson Rivers University, in Kamloops, British Colum-

bia, Canada, which has a student exchange agreement with the International Islamic Education Council (IIEC) in Indo-nesia.And there’s no way, without access to the crash site and with only a few hours to do the job, that the Ukrainian intelli-gence service could have come up with that kind of detail to put into a fake recording. It’s genuine. The rebels did it.Russia didn’t want the Cossacks at Chernunkhino to shoot down a civilian airliner, but it has been giving the rebels heavy weapons while strenuously denying it. It has been caught red-handed, and hundreds have died. This is indeed a game-changer – but in which direction?One option would be for Moscow to admit it, apologise whole-heartedly, and abandon its clients in eastern Ukraine. That is unlikely to happen. As President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, “This tragedy would not have occurred if there were peace in that country, or in any case, if hostilities had not resumed in southeast Ukraine. And certainly, the gov-ernment over whose territory it occurred is responsible for this terrible tragedy.”In other words, yeah, we gave the rebels the weapons, and they used them to shoot down the airliner, but the whole thing wouldn’t have happened if the Ukrainian government had just given in to the rebels. So it’s really Kiev’s fault, not ours.The signs are clear: Russia is going to brazen it out, and go on supplying the separatist rebels with weapons. The West-ern Europeans have been trying to look the other way (al-though the United States did impose some extra sanctions this week), but they can’t look away after this. Western sanc-tions against Russia are going to go up quickly and steeply now. It’s already ugly, and it’s going to get even uglier.

Summer has finally arrived to Crowsnest Pass, and the native flowers are in full bloom. How-ever, along with all of the beautiful new foliage, invasive weed species have also made their de-but throughout the Municipality. Though some weeds may be visually appealing at first glance, these introduced flowers pose a major problem in the local ecosystem, as they can rapidly re-place the native flowers that now have to com-pete for the same resources. In addition to the fight for water and sunlight, these invasive spe-cies, such as Blueweed, Dalmatian Toadflax, Ox-eye Daisy and Dame’s Rocket, have the ability to reproduce at much faster rates than many of our native plants.

We are all familiar with the classic Dandeli-on, and how widespread this plant has become within our province. This plant can be seen lin-ing roadside ditches, parks, lawns, and hillsides in the spring with bright yellow flowers which turn into fluffy seed heads by early summer. The new listed weedy species in the Weed Control Act

have the potential to be just as invasive if they are not controlled in the early stages of being de-tected in the province.

Though some weeds have been transported in by muddy tires, wildlife, human recreation or wind, many of the common weedy species found within Crowsnest Pass have been accidentally introduced here in garden beds because of their visual appeal. Sometimes, their seeds make their way into wildflower seed packets, other times they are sold at flower shops or they transplant-ed from one area of the province to another. Though this is often an innocent action, the presence of a new species can quickly escalate into an infestation as their abundant seed pro-duction begins to spread to adjacent properties.

In order to ensure that these introduced plant species do not threaten our native plants, it is important for local citizens to familiarize them-selves with what each common weedy species looks like. Weed Identification booklets are available at local Municipal Offices, and the Ag-riculture and Environmental Services depart-ment is always willing to come help identify any plant pests.

Celebrating ten years, the annual Crowsnest Pass Show & Shine revs up on Saturday, Aug. 2 in downtown historic Coleman.

Once part of the Rum Runner Days Festival, organizers believed its continuing growth en-sured its success as a stand-alone event.

Partnering with Doors Open & Heritage Festi-

val and making signifi-cant improvements will benefit participants, lo-cal businesses and the community as a whole, said Brian MacFarlane, President, Crowsnest Pass Wheel Nuts Soci-ety, a new club formed for car enthusiasts.

“We have renamed the event Main Street Crowsnest and moved it to our historic main streets. This ties in well with the historical flavour of the Doors Open & Heritage Fes-tival and allows us the

opportunity to benefit from the large numbers of people who visit the area over the weekend,” he said. “This year, the show takes place in downtown Coleman and our plan is to alter-nate the event from west to east each year, giving each community the opportunity to share in this growing event.”

Bikes, hot rods, mus-cle cars and other clas-sic vehicles will be on view from noon to 5 p.m. along 77th Street and 17th Avenue.

Ladies and gents: start your engines!

Summer is heating up and so is the calendar of events for the Crowsnest Pass Boys and Girls club.

On Wednesday July 30th, the club will host the always popular Taste of Crowsnest from 6-10:30pm at the Elk’s Hall in Blairmore, as a kick off to the Doors Open and Heritage Fes-tival which runs from July 31st-August 4th. At-tendees at Taste of Crowsnest can sample an array of sweet and savoury treats in a fun and social setting. Tickets can be purchased for $25 in advance at Stone’s Throw Café or Bamboo Bistro or $30 at the door and include 10 food and wine samplings.“

August 3rd is another busy day for the Boys and Girls Club. They’ll be hosting the second annual Children’s Fest from 11am-3pm, an event geared towards building awareness about the Boys and Girls Club and promoting positivity. The event is free and will take place outdoors by center access, across from the Bamboo Bistro and Blackrock Pizza, in Blairmore. “We’ll have musicians, magicians, entertainment and a con-cession,” says Fundraising and Awareness Man-ager Debbie Goldstein. “The whole aim is to give back to the community and to thank everyone for their support.”

The 4th annual Duck Race will also take place on August 3rd, at 3pm. “Last year we only sold

about half of our tickets,” says Debbie, “we are really hoping to sell out this year!”

1650 rubber ducks will be dropped into the Crowsnest River, near the center access bridge in Blairmore, and will “race” to the finish just east of Frank. Each raffle ticket is linked to a specific duck, and winning tickets are based on the ducks that cross the finish line first and last. Tickets are $5 and $20; and the prizes for a winning first place $5 ticket are $500 in coffee and gas from Esso First & Last Gas, while the holder of a last place $5 ticket will be awarded an iPad. Prizes for the $20 ticket holders are $1500 in cash for first place, or $500 in groceries from Sobey’s and SuperValu for last place. “We can it a ‘win, win, win’” says Debbie. “Because first place wins, last place wins and if you place in the middle then the Boys and Girls Club wins.”

“We have a busy summer of fundraising initia-tives planned,” says Debbie, “but the really great thing is that because we have such a small over-head, money raised goes directly to the kids.”

Tickets for the Duck Race can be purchased at Scotia Bank, Stone’s Throw Café, Bamboo Bis-tro, Rexall, Pharmasave, or the library.

For questions or more info, please call Debbie at 403-753-0312.

This year’s theme was ephemeral—short-lived, artists were asked to submit pieces focused on capturing a moment in time.

Artists celebrate a moment in time at the Crowsnest Pass Public Art Gallerys’ annual juried show

Crossword

Answer

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Fenced yard - no kennels

By Joni MacFarlaneEditor

Financial report year to dateDirector of Finance & Corporate Services Michele Schalekamp reported

that the municipality’s operating budget is on track and she’s confident they will meet their targets for the year. On the capital side, she said, some projects started in 2013 were carried over and not included in the 2014 budget. The 2014 projects are on track to be completed except the Frank wastewater treat-ment plant upgrade which still needs approval.

Penalties on unpaid property taxes total about $45,000, Schalekamp added, indicating they were slow in being paid.

In addition, grant applications for Agriculture Services has been made. Grants for Economic Development might be at risk with council priorities not yet finalized.

Overtime this year has almost been used up, she added, but most overtime occurs in the first half from snow removal and budget work. She said the sec-ond half of the year will be much less.

Financial reports will be made quarterly and put on the municipal website for the public’s information.

Municipal land soldTwo pieces of municipal land were sold to private owners but neither is

straightforward.The first, in the Turtle Mountain Restricted Development Zone, requires

0.80 acres of municipal road adjacent to the property to be closed. According to the Municipal Government Act, to close a portion of road, approval must be given by Alberta’s Minister of Transportation. This could take up to a year, council was told.

Council approved the sale for $2,000 per acre.In the second case, the applicant wanted to purchase 8,650 square feet from

a fully serviced lot. Council was told the remaining lot is still large enough to develop in the future.

However, because the land in question was zoned Recreation and Open Space, the municipality must put the proceeds from the sale into an environ-mental reserve to maintain green space.

Consulting servicesCouncil approved $53,583 from the 2014 capital budget for ISL Engineering

to provide detailed engineering design work to restore the stormwater drain-age conveyance system underneath the Hillcrest/Bellevue lagoon.

ISL completed an investigative report with a recommended option in 2013 and it was decided to go ahead with sealing off the leaking pipe and relocating it.

The contract work will be combined with the existing work dealing with coontail, an invasive plant clogging up the lagoon system.

A second contract was also approved to address another issue at the lagoon. A total of $22,686 from the 2014 contracted services area of the sanitary sewer budget will be paid to ISL.

Two existing inverted siphon inlets are not equipped with screening systems and it is suspected large debris is entering the siphons reducing the capacity to control the chamber and/or crossing the river to the lagoons.

New fixed screens will be put in place to prevent this.This contract work will be combined with the existing work ISL is doing at

the lagoon.Crowsnest Sportsplex parkingCouncil approved $6,828 from the 2014 contract services area of the trans-

portation budget to design a new parking layout at Coleman Community Sportsplex.

Patrick Thomas, director of planning, engineering & operations, told coun-cil the parking lines have deteriorated to a point that the existing layout is cumbersome and ineffective. Modifications are needed to enhance parking for major events, to provide delineation of the fire hydrant and disabled stalls, and to accommodate fire vehicles and delivery trucks, said Thomas.

ISL will reconfigure the area to provide maximum parking capacity, he said, allowing the lines to be repainted before winter.

Council asked that the study include additional areas for future parking ex-pansion.

Municipal briefs

The Crowsnest Economic Develop-ment & Tourism Advisory Committee (CEDTAC) is moving closer to market-ing the Crowsnest Pass and has sched-uled a meeting to brainstorm ideas.

Since its inception, CEDTAC has had challenges, said Economic De-velopment Officer, Sherry Poole. The membership numbers were expanded earlier this year and committee mem-bers have changed.

At the meeting on July 7, the commit-tee discussed the Terms of Reference, which is ongoing and has been present-ed to council for input and approval.

Poole said it was important that committee members understand the terms of reference and their role on CEDTAC.

“This committee’s role is to make recommendations to council,” she said. “Council reports back to the committee and says, yes, we’ve identi-fied and accepted that this is a prior-

ity we would like you to go after. We then go back to council and say, this is how we’re going to go after it. We create the timeline, the budget... this hasn’t happened for various reasons.”

Poole said administration is cur-rently working on the municipality’s strategic plan, which will help council identify its priorities.

She told the committee the benefits of this will be that the terms of refer-ence will be in place and the strategic planning and priorities will be estab-lished. CEDTAC can then set up pro-cesses and create a plan of action to achieve council-identified priorities.

It was agreed the key focus of the committee will be to set up a market-ing strategy and a meeting to develop this was scheduled for later in July.

CEDTAC is made up of nine mem-bers of the community including one council representative, one member from administration and the Economic Development Officer, Sherry Poole.

They meet twice per month and meetings are open to the public.

Children have a chance to explore their more creative side during the Crowsnest Pass Public Art Gallery’s summer art classes.

The art classes cater to preschool and school aged children and are held in the afternoons throughout July and August.

“It’s really fun,” program organizer Bronwyn Kizan said. “I think it’s a good way, a fun way, to spend the afternoon. You come do this, you can get more interested in art.”

During the two hour workshops children get a chance to explore the arts through themed projects, including a superheroes themed workshop and an explore the galaxy themed workshop.

Kizan, 19, said she came up with these creative themes herself.“Just projects I thought would be fun and what went together and what I

thought the kids would like and be interested in,” she said.Kizan runs the program, with help from managing director Krisztina

Wood.But she said helping hands are always welcomed.“A couple parents have come in and helped too which has been awe-

some,” said Kizan.Upcoming classes include the portraits class for children 10-12 on July

29, the sheep painting class for preschool children on July 30 and the under the sea themed class for children 7-9 on August 1.

The Crowsnest Museum & Archives is pleased to announce a new program series entitled “Connecting Communities: Se-niors and Heritage in the Pass.” This new project is designed to give the seniors in the Crowsnest Pass – both “newcomers” and “oldtimers” – the chance to reminisce about the good old days as they have the chance to handle some artifacts, look through and identify historic photographs, and meet up with friends both old and new.

The seniors of the Pass all have so many great stories about the past, and we want to help share them with the world.

Some of the information collected in the Connecting Com-munities program will be used in future school and family programs. Another aspect of the project will help program participants properly preserve their own family photographs and important documents for the future. This program will be a great opportunity for seniors to get together with each other, connect with other community groups, share their knowledge and learn at the same time. Program sessions will be held at a number of locations throughout the Crowsnest

Pass, in order to best reach the seniors in our area. A � rst step towards these programs is a series of two Steer-

ing Committee Open Houses which the Crowsnest Museum is hosting on Thursday, July 24th from 10-12 at the Coleman Senior’s Drop-In, and Thursday August 7th from 1-3 at the Bellecrest Senior’s Association. These two open houses are so that anyone who would like to have input on the speci� c topics covered by the Connecting Communities sessions can let us know what interests them most about local history, as well as the times and locations they would most like to see our programs occur. We will use these suggestions to build our programs into a project designed by seniors in the com-munity, for seniors in the community.

For more information or to volunteer, please contact Barbara van Vierssen Trip, Programming Director, at the Crowsnest Museum by calling 403-563-5434, via email at [email protected], or in person Wednesday-Sunday from 9-5 at the Crowsnest Pass Museum & Archives located at 7701-18th Ave in Coleman.

This project is funded in part by the Government of Cana-da’s New Horizons for Seniors Program and the Alberta Mu-seums Association.

When the warm weather hits and school � nishes up for the summer, chil-dren tend to ditch their notebooks and library books for runners and bathing suits.

But the Crowsnest Pass Community Library is encouraging kids to con-tinue reading throughout the summer.

“They can loose so much of it be-tween July and September,” library manager Diane Delauw said. “They forget what they’ve learned when they don’t do it.”

The Toronto Dominion (TD) Bank is hosting a Summer Reading Club where libraries across Canada can participate in a free children’s reading program.

Delauw said the Crownest Commu-nity Library offers a preschool pro-gram on Wednesday mornings and a school ages program on Wednesday afternoons.

Children get a sticker for every book they read and have a chance to win

prizes, donated by TD.TD also provides the library with

crafting materials, games and a booklist.

Every week there is a different crafting theme related to the books the children are reading that week.

“I visualized it,” said Delauw. “When they read the book it relat-ed to what they’re doing and what they’re playing. It just kind of ties it all together.”

“This gives them a view of what the public library has, and gives them some motivation to come through the year as well,” added Delauw. “It’s also good socially they don’t always get to see all their friends during the summer that they see at school. It gives them a little social interaction.”
