Millarville Mutts and Mustangs Get Speaking
By Katelyn Braun
The Millarville Mutts and Mustangs have just finished our public speaking. In our club public speaking for juniors, Gracie got alternate, Jessie received second and Shannon placed first. In the intermediate class, Nicole was the alternate, I won second and Paula achieved first. And, for the seniors, Rachel accepted second and Cassidy made first. Only three members went on to Area level public speaking and they were Nicole, Shannon and Jessie. No one placed, but everyone still did great.
On another occasion, some members went to the race track to bake cookies for the dogs. There were cookies with garlic, blue berries, baby food and peanut butter. All of the dogs loved them and a couple of the boys had a taste, too.
We are now starting agility. I think this is our favourite part of training and the dogs love it, too.
The horse group has been working on their assessments and has learned a lot from the clinics that they have had. But once in a while they make time to go on a ride with the horses.
In just a month or two our lives are going to be jam packed with 4-H activities. For one, we will have our Achievement Day which is where we have fun little competitions with agility, showmanship and obedience. The horse section will do English and Western pleasure. It is all on the same day so we can see what both sides of our club does. Another event is highway clean-up. We do this every year and it helps club funding. It is not as easy as it looks because you have no idea of what we might find. The biggest event is 4-H On Parade which everyone looks forward to. We have competitions with the other clubs. But before that, we get our ideas together on how we are going to decorate the stable and our dog cages. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Our 4-H club is keeping very busy, but we are having lots of fun.

TURNER VALLEY SCHOOL NEWS - From Leprechauns to Art
The month of March has certainly come upon us quickly and looking at the thermometer confirms that we are getting close to being done with winter. As we move toward warm spring weather we remain clearly focused on learning. We appreciate the participation of parents in the February round of student led conferences. We had nearly 100% participation and the survey results are very positive indeed.
March is a transition month in the school year as well as in the seasons. The second term report cards will be prepared by teachers and will be sent home on April 5th. While there are no further interviews scheduled, parents are encouraged to discuss any aspect of their child's learning and school life with our staff. A strong home-school relationship optimizes learning and successful school experiences.
On the sports scene, we congratulate the Tigers on an excellent season in basketball. We had a great wind-up tourney at Percy Pegler School. Next up is a Choir Festival for our Grade 3-5 students, and of course our annual spring theatre production is well under way and will happen March 29th and 30th.
Finally, some comments on the annual Fraser Institute Alberta school ranking that was published in the media on February 26th. While we once again see that Turner Valley School has improved in the academic ratings on this report, we're not feeling too smug yet. Our school does tend to go up and down quite dramatically on these reports. We do analyze the PAT results and add that information to the larger body of data that we collect and analyze each year including provincial test results, staff, student and parent surveys, curriculum reviews and how well we are meeting the Alberta Initiative for School Improvement targets and school goals in our Education Plan. We are proud of the efforts that our staff and students make every day at school and don't rely on judgments from afar to inform. Rather than rely upon a single indicator, we believe that all of these sources must be considered in order to draw valid conclusions about current school effectiveness and to reveal areas for future improvement.

ST PATRICK’S DAY
St Patrick's Day is on Saturday March 17th.
St. Patrick was a priest who chased snakes out of Ireland and was very kind to people.
Some of the symbols are shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold and the color green.
For fun, build a leprechaun trap.

WORLD OF WHEELS
Did you go to the World Of Wheels 2012? Well I did, it was fun! They had famous Chip Foose, Zendaya Coleman and a special presentation from the one and only, Bigfoot the Monster Truck. When I was there I got to interview Josh Levair. His favorite car that he owns is a 1969 orange Dodge Super Bee and it was the first car he ever built. He started building cars at the age of 15. In 2009 he won the highest Award, you can get at the show; it's called the Jim Lesley Award. He won it with a 1969 red and white Dodge Super Bee and it was the first time a restored car won it. Even though Josh is in his early 20's studying Criminal Justice at University of Lethbridge, he has already built 6 cars and 1 truck.

Longview School ~ Inspired Artists
The Art Program at Longview School provides a variety of experiences for students which include a chance to grow and develop as an individual; to develop perceptual awareness; to learn visual arts skills and concepts; to interpret and communicate about art; and appreciate cultural and everyday aspects of art. Our Art Program develops a student's understanding of the four components of reflection, depiction, composition and expression by learning about the elements of art (Line, Colour, Shape, Form, Texture, Space, Value) and the principles of art (Balance, Emphasis, Proportion, Movement, Rhythm /Repetition /Pattern, Variety and Unity).Recently, the Grade 5/6 students have been studying the work of American Modernist: Georgia O'Keeffe and creating compositions inspired by her artwork. Students have showed strength in using art materials as a way of expressing themselves in a meaningful way. They used models and pictures to make drawings with increasing skill and accuracy and developed techniques to add detail, create texture, pattern and volume in their compositions. Students have done sketches using paper and pencil and compositions using oil, pastels, ink and watercolours of flowers and South Western landscapes.
Because Longview Students are so very proud of their school and community, each Grade 5/6 student has donated one of their Georgia O'Keeffe inspired oil pastel flower art pieces to the Longview Public Library for a fundraiser. Library Manager, Joan Maxwell, has organized an art exhibit, showcasing Longview Talent. Longview Student works of art will be on display and available to be purchased for the entire month of March. Please support our local library, by acquiring one of these beautiful pieces through your donation.
This activity was organized with the help of Mrs. Dyck, Longview School Librarian, to develop student artistic skills, share their talent and give back to the community in which they live. There is heart and soul in everything that goes on at our school. Our school is a supportive environment that empowers everyone to do their best and be involved. We know we need to step forward and not back when things need to be done. Our students take great pride in being an EAGLE which stands for E (Engaged), A (Academic and Athletic), G (Goal Setters), L (Leaders), E (Excellence Achievers), S (School Spirit Promoters). These words are about the qualities, characteristics and behaviors our students stand for. Our students understand and work on the characteristics of responsible learning which include confidence, respect, independence, work habits and citizenship every day. These characteristics are an important piece in learning and leading an active, creative and engaged life. It is wonderful to see Foothills School Division students and employees modeling these characteristics and giving back to their community. Our school and community embrace individuals that are caring, genuine, positive, friendly and kind like Mrs. Dyck. Thank you for all that you do!

Lions Den ~ Lions of the Internet
Submitted by Lion James Lee
Everyone seems to be connected with the internet these days, via touch pads, lap tops, phones, wii machines, play station and of course the old stand-by, the desk top computer. New Age and Old School Lions members stay connected via the internet also. We tweet, skype and email information about meetings, community events that include local Lion projects and Lions International initiatives and objectives. You are aware that this is how we do IT. So what is all this computer hype about? What you perhaps are not aware of is Lions, expanding partnership with the Gates Foundation, to save children across the world from MEASLES. The initiative is entitled One Shot, One Life. We work hand in hand on this medical issue and a plethora of other causes with UNICEF and The World Health Organization. By years end, Lions and our valued partners will have vaccinated 157 million children worldwide in our fight against measles. It costs $1 per measles vaccine dose. The Gates Foundation has challenged Lions to raise $10 million dollars in the fight to eradicate measles worldwide. The Gates Foundation will then match every $2 we raise with $1 from their trust fund. This is just another way that Lions are using the Internet to Serve the communities of the world. Serve is what Lions do!
At the Black and Gold Awards Program at Oilfields High School, Lions Don Ward and Dave Parsons presented a $1000.00 bursary to former student Haleigh Brown, for her extensive community involvement and academic excellence. Haleigh is presently attending the University of Lethbridge, where she is studying Nursing.
Recently, Foothills Lions donated $2500.00 to Education Plus for Art workshops and a School Ski Day. The Longview Youth Group received $3000.00 to create Youth Recreation Programs and $1500.00 to the High Country Minor Hockey Association for Player of the Game Awards for the upcoming Pee Wee “D” Provincial Championship, March 15th thru to the 17th at the Black Diamond Arena.
Interested in becoming a Lion? Our Membership Coordinator Don Ward can be contacted at (403)931-3587 or email Don at: ferndon@telus.net
Bingo starts at 7pm March 16th and 30th at the Valley Neighbours Club.

No Tax Hikes. Period. Wildrose Releases Commitment to Taxpayers
Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith announced the fourth Wildrose Commitment to Albertans on February 28th in Calgary - a firm promise not to raise or introduce taxes if Albertans elect a Wildrose government this spring.
The Wildrose will release five Commitments in key policy areas between now and the next provincial election. Since January 31st, Smith has announced the Wildrose Commitment to Power Consumers, the W ildrose Commitment to Parents on Education and the Wildros e Commitment to Municipalities.
Smith - along with the four Wildrose caucus members - marked the commitment by signing a No Tax Hikes pledge to Alberta taxpayers.
Wildrose MLAs have repeatedly asked Premier Alison Redford to sign a similar pledge, but she has refused. Instead, she insists on having a "conversation" about taxes - including a review of income tax rates - but only after the election.
“Today's commitment is all about doing what Premier Redford refuses to do - be up front and honest with Albertans about taxes," Smith said. "We think Alberta families and businesses are taxed enough. That's why we won't raise taxes. I hope she will come clean before the election. Albertans deserve to know.”
Since Redford became premier, the PCs have indicated they are looking for additional sources of stable revenues. Redford and members of her cabinet have openly mused about increasing sin taxes, bringing back health care premiums, even implementing a Provincial Sales Tax. Most recently, Redford's Throne Speech confirmed her government will review income taxes after the election.
“Premier Redford has ducked and dodged the tax question for weeks," Wildrose Finance Critic Rob Anderson said. "The longer she refuses to rule out tax hikes, the more reasonable it is to assume she will raise taxes. I'm proud of our commitment today. A Wildrose government will not raise taxes. Period.”
To read the full commitment, visit:
http://wildro.se/taxpayers
The Wildrose stands for free enterprise, less government, increased personal freedom and democracy.

Legion Leanings ~ Bursaries
The Legion has bursaries available for local High School students that are descendants of veterans.
It was an exciting night at the Branch on February 24th. Following the buffet meal, meat draws and Chase the Ace run by the Ladies' Auxiliary and with a good crowd looking on, the Longview Fire Department passed the New York Flags on to their colleagues from Okotoks.
This was followed by a couple of presentations by area businesses; first up was a donation by Rose and Geoff Dallyn from the Powderhorn Saloon in Bragg Creek who handed over 10% of the gross revenue from their Remembrance Day opening. The cheque was presented by Comrade Tony Iati on their behalf; secondly Torben Sherwood and Rik Falch of Valley Games in Okotoks who have developed a board game called “D-Day Dice” made a donation that reflected one dollar on behalf of each investor in the endeavour and there were over 2400 of them; thirdly we were able to recognise publicly the donation made by Tilly Jackson in memory of her late father. The approximately $2400 allowed the branch to purchase new computer and copying equipment.
We thank all these people for their support of the Legion and the work undertaken on behalf of veterans and the community in general.
The Honours and Awards committee is in the process of finalising this year's list of honourees. Those whose names have been submitted are screened to match national standards following which citations are prepared and submitted to Dominion Command for approval. Our Honours and Awards Night and Installation of Officers is scheduled for May 26th.
The three high schools in the area now have all the forms and information needed by students to apply for the new $1000.00 bursaries being made available for the first time this year. Applications from graduating students at these three schools must be submitted through the school. To qualify, a student must be the descendant of a veteran. This refers not only to Canadian Veterans but those of Britain and the Commonwealth countries along with the forces of Canada's allies.
We remind students who live in our area but who attend a different public or separate high school that they too are eligible for similar awards. Application forms for these students can be obtained from the Branch. In order to be considered, all applications must be received by the April 30th deadline.
In addition to the usual sports programmes on March 10th there was the Ladies' Pie Auction. On Friday March 16th at 7:00pm we will welcome a group of Irish Dancers. The following Day we will celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a Dinner/Dance. Dinner is at 5:00pm with the dance starting at 7:00pm. Music will be provided by Kim Cote who brings an impressive musical resume with him. Tickets are $20.00 and should be purchased in advance.
On March 30th at 7:05pm we will make the draws for the prizes in our local raffle. Two prizes of $500 and two flat-screen TV's will be given to the lucky ticket holders. There are still tickets available at the Branch. On the topic of gaming, don't forget the Legion Provincial Million Dollar Lottery. When you purchase your tickets please indicate that you support Branch #78 and we will benefit from that.
Finally, and following the recent and very successful “Jelly Bean Dance” for children, there will be a party for the youngsters on March 31st at 1:00pm. We ask that parents register their children for this event.

C. Ian McLaren News - Drama Club
Our grade five and six students have been part of a drama club. They were meeting every Monday after school for the last several weeks to put together a drama production for the school. Friday, February 17th was the day. They put on two plays for the school which were different versions of well know fairy tales. The first was called The Three Little Elephants and the second one was called Spiderella. The kids did a great job and the audience enjoyed it immensely.
