    The Future Belongs to the Grads

    To be just graduated is an exhilarating time in life. All those years of oppression seem to bebehind you. Youre verging on independence and adulthood. Youre finally your own personand have the right to command your own decisions. The summer is loud and heady with free-dom. The world and the future look exciting and a little scary.

    What can you tell a graduate thats worth saying or that theyll stop to hear? So many plati-tudes and so much sentimentality have been laid out over the years, much of it irrelevant, ifwell meaning. In the next few years these young people will be taking life straight on includ-

    ing the legacy of all our collective generations worth of achievement and damage. They feellike theyre on top of the world today. Please dont tell them differently.

    We may view the world as offering less opportunity than it appeared to 40 years ago. Thedifficulties seem larger, the potential smaller, the possibilities limited. However, I have toargue that there is always opportunity for the individual whose eyes are open and whose curi-osity keeps growing. Education isnt restricted to institutions and categorized degrees. Youregreatest strengths are those you carry with you. Advanced education is valuable, even neces-sary, but its the person you are that makes all the difference. The best qualities cant bebought.

    The biggest single characteristic leading to success is to show up. It doesnt sound like muchbut dependability is still a rare quality. Be on time, be alert, be willing to go the distance andthen quite a bit more. Dont ask what the vacation time is right up front. Ask how much youcan learn. Ask if theyll pay you to learn more. Be honest and be forthright. Dont be glib.Focus on the future and remember that its further off than Friday. If you do even these fewthings it will get you a steady job and you will have the chance to look more objectively atwhat you want to do with life.

    Then, never give up. Never quit on who you are and what you want to do. Dont measure itby other peoples standards but set the bar high for yourself. Other people may not under-stand what you want to do or may not support it but this life of yours is unique so be stubbornabout it. Only compromise when it makes the best sense. Dont sell out your principles butlearn to understand that the rules of all games are similar. Youve got to go the distance andbe prepared to do the hard stuff before you get respect.

    Lastly, be careful who you hang with. Friends can support you and keep your life in context

    but some can also hold you back or diminish you. You may have to give them up. But, dont

    ever give up your dreams and ambitions and your curiosity. The world still has a lot to offer

    and youre entitled to your shot at it. Our best hopes and enthusiasm go with you. Congratu-

    lations and Good Luck. JK

    Photography by Marg WiebeArtist-Photographer

    Marg Wiebe, Swift Current, SK. has pursuedvaried forms of art through the years. Al-though photography has been her principleinterest for more than two decades, morerecently she has achieved success in otherendeavors: pencil sketching, acrylic painting,and the most recent and her favoured pursuit

    currently are water colours.

    Photography: over the years Marg has dili-gently and lovingly pursued photography,through classes, workshops, and photo tours,locally and far afield, as well as studying onher own. She spends countless hours makingimages, mainly in south western Saskatche-wan. Sharing her love of photographythrough presentation of slide shows, photoexhibits, and teaching for more than twentyyears is a highlight of her photographic jour-ney.

    Margs interest in artistic subjects is wide,including small wonders such as an orchidon the forest floor (Cypress Hills) to largerprairie landscapes -- in particular those manyand varied scenes in southern Saskatchewan.A favourite source for images is old things cars fences, barns and houses. Blending thetwo mediums photography and painting has been a special joy; the majority of herwater colours are from photographs she hascaptured.

    Marg has been the recipient of numerousphotographic awards, local and provincial.

    Among the awards: on two occasions whenshe entered a group of five photographs inthe South West OSAC visual arts competi-tions her photographs were selected for two-year provincial tours. In 2009 three canvasprints, part of the OSAC winning group,Spirit Impressions of the Cypress Hills,were exhibited at the prestigious Shurniak

    Art Gallery, Assiniboia, SK. In 2009 sheentered five water colours in the adjudicatedSwift Current Summer Show; these wereadjudicated most favourably an honourablemention. The adjudicator, upon learningthese were her first works in this medium,urged Marg to continue with it. Marg hasbeen invited to show her art, both photogra-phy and water colours at the Shurniak Gal-lery in the spring, 2011.

    Marg is married to George Wiebe, mother offour, has three in-law children, and sixgrandchildren. Among Margs other interestsare reading, walking and weight training,biking, watching hockey and football. Sheenjoys traveling, near and far, and in particu-lar loves the spiritual quality of being in theCypress Hills area.

    Book Review:

    Black Hills by Nora Roberts

    Lil and Cooper have a deep friendshiprooted in childhood; when Cooper was 11

    years old, his wealthy and neglectful Man-hattan parents sent him to South Dakota tospend the summer with his grandparents.It was there that Lil and Coopers relation-ship was cemented over talk of baseball.Now, almost twenty years and two brokenhearts later, they are slowly reconciling.With a serial killer hiding, waiting, pre-paring to hunt Lil, their chance for truelove is as threatened as Lils life.

    Nora Roberts, one of the most popularromance writers, crafts another page-turning thriller with Black Hills. Follow-

    ing the patterns of books such as AngelsFall, Divine Evil, Carolina Moon, Mon-tana Sky and Public Secrets, Robertsdelves into the mind of her seen, andsometimes unseen, assailant. The resultsvary between disturbing and intriguing;her exploration of a killers irrationalthoughts makes his or her actions seemvery nearly logical. In the case ofBlack

    Hills, the murderer is undoubtedly unsta-ble, yet glimpses of an abusive childhoodmake him sympathetic almost. His sub-sequent actions, both cowardly and mon-

    strous, make him one of Robertss mostdepraved murderers.

    Movie Synopsis:

    The Princess Bride

    Director Rob Reiner breathes vividly col-ored cinematic life into William Gold-man's THE PRINCESS BRIDE, effec-tively evoking the wondrous, wide-eyedspirit of the witty 1973 novel. When a sickboy (Fred Savage) receives a visit fromhis doting grandfather (Peter Falk) who

    intends to read to him from his favoritebook, he's not exactly pleased to be ex-tracted from his world of video games.However, his mood quickly changes as he,along with the viewer, is transported to aplace out of time--to Florin, a kingdom inthe ultimate imaginary land, completewith dashing heroes, cowardly princes,rhyming giants, shrieking eels, rodents ofunusual size, fancy swordfights, andyes...even some kissing. The lovely But-tercup (Robin Wright) learns that "As youwish" really means "I love you" when she

    falls for her charming farmhand, Westley(Cary Elwes). While trying to seek hisfortune, however, Westley disappears atsea, an apparent victim of the Dread PirateRoberts, who takes no prisoners. A fewyears later, Buttercup, engaged to the oilyPrince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon), iskidnapped by an oddball trio of rogues--brains, Vizzini (Wallace Shawn); brawn,Fezzik (Andr the Giant); and sword,Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin in astandout performance). As they sail awaytoward the Cliffs of Insanity, they notice

    the pursuit of a man in black...and theadventure begins. A clever fairy tale forall ages, THE PRINCESS BRIDE is ar-guably one of the funniest and most enter-taining films of all time.www.rottentomatoes.com

    July Astronomy: Delta Aquarids

    The Southern Delta Aquariids are ameteor shower visible from mid July tomid August each year with peak activityon July 28 or 29 July. The shower origi-nated from the breakup of what are nowthe Marsden and Kracht Sungrazingcomets.

    The Delta Aquariids get their name be-cause their radiant appears to lie in theconstellation Aquarius, near one of theconstellation's brightest stars, DeltaAquarii. There are two branches of theDelta Aquariid meteor shower, Southernand Northern. The Southern DeltaAquariids are considered a strongshower, with an average meteor observa-tion rate of 1520 per hour, and a peakzenith hourly rate of 18. The averageradiant is at RA=339, DEC=17. TheNorthern Delta Aquariids are a weaker

    shower, peaking later in mid August,with an average peak rate of 10 meteorsper hour and an average radiant ofRA=340, DEC=2.

    Northern Hemisphere

    This represents the view from mid-northern latitudes at about 2:00 a.m. localtime around July 31. The graphic doesnot represent the view at the time ofmaximum, but is simply meant to helpprospective observers to find the radiantlocation. The red line across the bottomof the image represents the horizon.( I m a g e r e p r o d u c e d f r o mwww.meteorshowersonline.com )

    The radiant does not attain a high altitude

    for Northern Hemisphere observers, butit is enough to produce a consistent showeach year. Since the radiant is above thesouthern horizon, meteors will primarilybe fanning out toward the east, north,west horizons. Few meteors will be seenheading southward, unless they are fairlyshort and near the radiant.
