'So many sparks of fire': Dorothy Cottrell, modernism and mobility
No full textThe broad brush strokes of Dorothy Cottrell's paintings in the National Library of Australia mark her as a modernist artist, although not one who painted the burgeoning Sydney Harbour Bridge or bright still-life paintings of Australian flora. Rather, she captured the dun surrounds of Ularunda Station, the remote Queensland property to which she moved in 1920 after attending art school in Sydney. At Ularunda, Cottrell eloped with the bookkeeper to Dunk Island, where they stayed with nature writer E.J. Banfield, then relocated to Sydney. In 1924 they returned to Ularunda and Cottrell swapped her paintbrush for a pen, writing The Singing Gold. After advice from Mary Gilmore, whom her mother accosted in a pub, Cottrell send it to the Ladies Home Journal in America. It was snapped up immediately, optioned for a film and found a publisher in England, who described it as 'a great Australian book, and a world book'. Gilmore added, 'As an advertisement for Australia, it will go far - the Ladies Home Journal is read all over the world'. Cottrell herself also went far, emigrating to America, where she wrote The Silent Reefs, set in the Caribbean. Cottrell's creative, intellectual and physical peregrinations - all undertaken in a wheelchair after she contracted polio at age five - show how the local references the international, and vice versa. Through an analysis of the life and writing of this now little-known Queensland author, this essay reflects the regional and transnational elements of modernism as outlined in Neal Alexander and James Moran's Regional Modernisms, illuminating how a crack-shot with a rifle once took Queensland to the world
Crucial contributors? Re-examining labour market impact and workplace-training intensity in Canadian trades apprenticeship
No full textCanadian apprenticeship policy has recently turned to direct subsidies for participants, including a federal tax incentive for employers. Some assumptions underlying the employer subsidy are: that apprenticeship training is a principal contributor to the skilled trades labour supply; that employers of apprentices typically incur high training cost and risks; and that in the absence of offsetting incentives, these would deter their participation. These assumptions are tested, using an analysis of 2006 census data and a series of 33 employer interviews. The census data reveal that, in 74 “skilled trades†occupations (NOC-S group H), the proportion of the labour force reporting an apprenticeship credential is 37%. When certificates granted to “trade qualifiers†are excluded from the total, registered apprenticeship certification is found to contribute roughly 25% of the skilled trades labour supply. A closer examination of the census data reveals strong inter-occupational differences in the certification rate and in the ratio of certified to less-than-certified workers, suggesting a de facto hierarchy of trades occupations. The interviews reveal sharp variations in employers’ workplace training efforts, challenging the twin suppositions that employers of apprentices are uniformly high contributors to skill formation, and that high training-related costs risks generally deter their participation. Differences in training behaviour are attributed to high-skill versus low-skill business strategies that in turn reflect differing product markets and regulatory constraints. Whatever the level of their training effort, all of the participating employers are able to minimize the training-related risks that have been cited as the principal rationale for employer subsidies. The paper argues for a more nuanced approach to skills policy and research in Canada, with greater attention to the diversity of actors’ strategic interactions with the training system.Apprenticeship, Skill, Trades, Training, Labour Supply, Canada
Corporate social responsibility in the New Zealand hotel industry: An explorative study
No full textThis explorative study examines the extent to which New Zealand 4 and 5 star hotel managers have adopted CSR practices and their commitment through CSR participation. Additionally, this study investigated the influence that New Zealand Government CSR sponsored incentives (“Qualmark” and “Enviro Awards”) have on the adoption of social and environmental practices into the hotel industry and the effect this has on hotel employees' CSR participation. Importantly, previous studies have indicated that employee involvement in CSR has been shown to result a more committed and loyal workforce. This study has indicated that through a greater CSR participation, hotel managers can influence attraction and retention of employees, therefore lowering employee turnover.
A pragmatic interruptive methodological approach was adopted in designing the research method for this study. By employing a mixed method research approach the findings of this study reveal that Chain hotel is more likely to incorporate a CSR approach in daily operations. However, evidence from this study has indicated that a hotel's involvement in social and environmental activities have no significant affect upon employee decision to seek employment with that hotel. This study also provides evidence that the initial cost of CSR implementation affected the type and range of CSR involvement. Although employee involvement in CSR activities was viewed as important, there was a lack of related rewards and incentives for CSR participation in line with organisational and employee goals and perception offered in this study. Evidence from this study also implies that an employee's social and environmentally responsibility, although beneficial, was not looked upon as essential in employee selection criteria. However, some hotels had incorporated social and environmental questions when selecting employees, indicating a gradual change in adopting a more knowledgeable and socially involved employee.
These findings will contribute to evaluating the impacts of a hotel manager's CSR decisions influencing employee turnover and CSR participation
The religious influences in funerary practices in the Parish of Sheffield 1843 to the present.
No full textThis study aims to investigate the relationship between funerary rituals and religion in the Parish of Sheffield in order to shed light on present day customs and practices. In the past, most studies have attempted to relate religion and ritual from the base of changing belief systems; this present investigation analyses the means whereby the secular nature of funerary customs is brought into a vital relationship with the sacred by the rites of passage of death, and their associated myths and legends. The study is divided into three principal areas of research covering pertinent general and specific aspects of funerary rituals. The first section sets the central core of the research upon a more general foundation of relevant literature, and an overview of funerary rituals and religion. A resume of the history of Sheffield and the laws of burial and cremation then places the study into both a wider and a comparative context of time and place. The research then centres on a study of current funeral practices in Sheffield: the Sheffield funeral trade; the influences of religion upon death rituals in relation to the city; the people of Sheffield who experience these funerals, and the places of committal available to them. The research draws on its primary database of 67 respondents from representative religions, complemented by selective databases covering non-specific mourners, religious representatives, and associated trades, services and professions

Intraoperative transfusion practices in Europe
No full text\ua9 2016 The Author. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the British Journal of Anaesthesia. Background: Transfusion of allogeneic blood influences outcome after surgery. Despite widespread availability of transfusion guidelines, transfusion practices might vary among physicians, departments, hospitals and countries. Our aim was to determine the amount of packed red blood cells (pRBC) and blood products transfused intraoperatively, and to describe factors determining transfusion throughout Europe. Methods: We did a prospective observational cohort study enrolling 5803 patients in 126 European centres that received at least one pRBC unit intraoperatively, during a continuous three month period in 2013. Results: The overall intraoperative transfusion rate was 1.8%; 59% of transfusions were at least partially initiated as a result of a physiological transfusion trigger- mostly because of hypotension (55.4%) and/or tachycardia (30.7%). Haemoglobin (Hb)- based transfusion trigger alone initiated only 8.5% of transfusions. The Hb concentration [mean (sd)] just before transfusion was 8.1 (1.7) g dl-1 and increased to 9.8 (1.8) g dl-1 after transfusion. The mean number of intraoperatively transfused pRBC units was 2.5 (2.7) units (median 2). Conclusions: Although European Society of Anaesthesiology transfusion guidelines are moderately implemented in Europe with respect to Hb threshold for transfusion (7-9 g dl-1), there is still an urgent need for further educational efforts that focus on the number of pRBC units to be transfused at this threshold

by Kathryn Romanchuk,
Wildlife Technician, Alberta Fish and
Wildlife Division
Where have all the northern leopard
frogs gone? Before the late 1970’s,
the northern leopard frog was a common
and widely distributed species in
Alberta and was a common sight in the
Magrath natural areas around Pothole
Creek. Unfortunately, the northern
leopard frog has vanished from much
of its former range in Alberta, including
Magrath, and is designated as
Threatened under Alberta’s Wildlife
Act. The disappearance of leopard
frogs in certain parts of Alberta is not
fully understood, however it is believed
that there is not one single cause but a
combination of different factors con-
Brad Downey (Alberta Conservation Association) and Kathryn Romanchuk (Alberta Fish and Wild
Life) collecting one of the leopardfrog egg masses from a pond in Medicine Hat. These eggs were
transferred to the Magrath sight to hatch, develop into tadpoles and release into the pond.
causes that may be responsible
for the decline of leopard
frogs in Alberta
include: loss and
degradation of suitable
habitat; increased use of
chemicals like pesticides and
herbicides; changing environmental
conditions such as global warming,
an increase in ultraviolet light, as
A few of the

tributing to their decreasing numbers. well as fluctuations in dry and wet
years; water and air pollution; and disease.
Because the remaining populations
of leopard frogs are patchy and
separated by large areas of unsuitable
habitat, their re-establishment into previously
occupied habitat may rely on
transplanting individuals or egg masses
from existing major breeding populations
in southern Alberta.
A réintroduction project was started in Magrath this
spring with die primary objective of re-establishing a breeding
population of leopard frogs in its formerly occupied
native habitat in the area. It is important to reintroduce
leopard frogs to Magrath as this is historic native habitat for
them and success in this project could help to increase
their area of occurrence and help stabilize the provincial
population.
Two leopard frog egg masses were collected from a
pond that was going to be destroyed in Strathcona Island
Park in Medicine Hat. The egg masses were then transferred
to Magrath where they were put separately into special
cages designed to keep out predators and placed in a pond
to develop. After 3-4 weeks the eggs had hatched and developed
into tadpoles. Once the tadpoles were free-swimming
and feeding on algae they were ready to be released. A site
known as Dudley’s Pond was chosen as the most suitable
release site, so all tadpoles were released at various locations
along the pond. By June 3, a total of 5,621 tadpoles
were set free.
Since the release, we have been keeping our fingers
crossed that a good number of the tadpoles will develop successfully
and emerge as young frogs by late July or early
August. It has been many years since leopard frogs have
been seen in Magrath, so it would be very exciting to see
them again! The next task will be to search the release site
for young leopard frogs throughout August, and we are fortunate
to have the help and support of the local Scouts
groups for this. Their interest in the project was sparked following
a presentation on the subject that was given on June
24 at their regular meeting. The Scouts are working towards
their conservation badge, so the local leopard frog project
gives them an opportunity to participate in a very special and
important conservation project right in their own backyard.
I would like to extend special thanks to Magrath
residents Buck Cunningham and DeVar Dahl for their support
and assistance throughout this project, which is an excellent
example of a cooperative conservation project at the
community level. ♦

Children’s Carnival
at Magrath Days
Needs Your Help!
The second Children’s Carnival will be held Saturday,
July 26th during Magrath Days at the Ice Arena. It is sponsored
by the Magrath Cultural Arts Society. There was a
tremendous response last year with at least 400 children
enjoying the event. Last year there were 12 booths with lineups
that were quite long. This year the Cultural Arts Society
plans on expanding it to 20 booths in hopes of reducing the
wait time, but in order to do this and have it run smoothly
there is a desperate need of about 40 volunteers to man the
booths, sell tickets and run the concession. If you could
spare 2 hours of your day either from 12:00 - 2:00 pm or
2:60 - 4:00 pm please call FALENE WOLSEY at 758-3992.
They hope to have enough help to make this carnival even
better than last year. ♦

Scientist Says Brain Size is
Parent’s Responsibility!
by Shelley Loewer
Great! One more thing that parents must do! But videos
and computer games may not be the best summer activities for
your children. What they really need are the most varied and
mind-stimulating projects that you can come up with while still
staying sane and financially solvent
A child’s brain has 1,000 trillion neural connections at
the age of 3, says Ronald Kotulak, Pulitzer Prize winning author
and researcher. In his book Inside the Brain, he explains that
children begin to make a permanent brain blueprint with the
neural connections that are used over and over. Those connections
become hardwired and gradually half of the unused connections
disappear until, by the age of 10, the permanent adultsized
brain is formed.
With this in mind, here are a few suggestions for summer
activities that may help you stimulate your child’s brain. Jan
Anderson, a local mother of six, says to never let your children
sleep past 9:00. She tempts them with a special breakfast and
fun activities for the day so her children will want to get up.
They enjoy lots of hikes and camping; going over Logan Pass
and walking through the Trail of the Cedars (you may need six
children to circle your arms around one giant tree) and visiting
Big Mountain, Montana are some of their favourite summer
activities. Her children each have their own household jobs and
rows in the family garden to take care of. But if they know that
they have a great family outing to go on, their jobs get done in a
hurry.
We live in an area rich with world-renowned attractions.
Visitors travel thousands of miles to see the things in our
“backyard”. Writing-On-Stone or Head-Smashed-In-Bufialo
Jump are close and filled with fascinating things. Even the
Nature Trail here in Magrath is an unsung treasure which Scout
troops from outside the community come to visit. With very little
effort, everything you do can be a learning opportunity. Put
a celery stalk with leaves on it in some water dyed red to see
how water is transported to plant leaves to get your children
excited about gardening. Before you go to Waterton Park, find
out when the botanist will be doing their nature walk or take in
a film about the wildlife. Find out how “white water” is formed
before you take Kimball River Sports’ white water rafting trip
(the easy trip for the chickenhearted). For a calendar of local
events, check out the website www.city.lethbridge.ab.ca/leisure.
Your excitement and wonder will be what your children
will pick up on, making everyday tilings, like the Magrath
Museum, visiting a cemetery, watching a fabulous sunrise or
gazing at the stars, a memorable experience to expand and
enhance your child’s brain blueprint. ♦

Local Ambulance Service Makes House Calls
Residents of Magrath and the surrounding area are
fortunate to have local ambulance service. The Magrath
ambulance crew covers one of the largest areas in Southern
Alberta - over 2000 square km., servicing communities of
Magrath, Del Bonita, Spring Coulee, and Welling, as well as
some of the busiest and deadbest stretches of highway in
the area.
Craig Bennett and Ken Hoibak started the Magrath and
District Ambulance Service in Magrath in 1986. Seventeen
years later, four of the original members are still involved,
including Craig Bennett, Clayton Boudry, and Ken and Judy
Hoibak. Ken served as director of the ambulance services
from 1988 until 2001, at which time Judy took over.
The Ambulance Service is staffed with 7 Emergency
Medical Technicians-Ambulance (EMT-A), 3 Emergency
Medical Responders (EMR), and 3 Emergency Vehicle
Operators (EVO). The ambulance is a fully-staffed Basic Life
Support Service (BLS) and is required to have at least one
EMT-A on each cab. The service also has a medical director,
Dr. Jack Regehr, who provides guidance and support to the
ambulance crew. Each member must attend a meeting once a
month to receive ongoing training. Professionals come in to
help the crew continue learning and expanding their skiffs.
Much of the equipment and training is paid for with
funds from the non-profit organization, Southern Region

Emergency Services Society. A good portion of the funding is
generated through billing for usage of the service, often paid
for by Alberta Health, Blue Cross and other insurance plans.
The Town of Magrath and MD also provide funds to cover
some capital costs.
The ambulance crew responds to accidents and emergencies
in the area, as well as responding with the fire
department to house fires. This provides support for the fire
fighters who may need assistance from smoke inhalation, etc.
The average response time to a call in Magrath is approximately
4 minutes during the day and 5 to 7 minutes at night.
“Right now we do 200+ calls per year. With anticipated
down-sizing of our medical facility, it’s likely we’ll see an
increased burden on our emergency services,” says Judy
Hoibak. If there is anyone interested in getting involved with
the ambulance service, she says they can give her a call at
758-6523.
Judy was bom and raised in Magrath, and feels that her
role as the Ambulance Services Director helps her to give
something back to the community. She loves to help people,
and loves the thrill of new experiences each time she
responds to a call.
These unsung heroes are so appreciated by those they
serve directly through responding to emergencies, and by
those of us who feel more secure knowing that they are there
to help us if we need it. ♦

trations we had to deal with created by the Lethbridge
organization. Despite all the problems that were thrown at
us, our teams did quite well. The girls team, coached by Gail
Cole, earned the right to reach the girls finals. The girls
worked really hard and played well but in the end lost 3-1
to Lethbridge placing second. Congratulations to our girls for
their excellent effort during the season and in the play-offs.
The boys team had a very grueling schedule to contend
with at the end, playing 7 games in 6 days. They defeated the
Lethbridge teams by scores of 9-2,8-1, 5-2,11-1 but tied 3-3
and lost 3-1 with Raymond. They narrowly missed making
the finals. During the last few weeks the boys played some
exciting soccer and they look very promising for next year.
Because of the many problems we had withnhe
Lethbridge organization this year, we will be looking at other
options of where to play next season.

? DILBERT.'S WORDS OF WISDOM
Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along
without it.
Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days
you're the statue.
Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level
then beat you with experience.
