If you’re in need of some “me-time” to escape the ever-hectic world, a home spa is the perfect personal getaway. And, contrary to popular belief, they don’t have to be difficult or expensive to create in your own abode.
“Atmosphere is probably the biggest thing,” says Richard Harter, service manager of Beachcomber Hot Tubs. “It probably does more than actually sitting in the tub or sauna. Just that calming (mood), no telephones, no TVs.” |

There is a world of opportunity for young girls and women in the sciences and Kristy Burke intends to introduce them to it.
Burke, the youth science program co-ordinator at the University of Lethbridge, did not start with a career in the sciences. Fresh out of high school, she studied art. It was only after she took some time off and started working in the outdoors tree planting that she developed an interest in natural resources, compelling her to learn more. She furthered her studies and received a diploma in fish and wildlife technology, then continued on at the U of L, earning a degree in environmental science. |

Renovating houses is as much of a lifestyle for Aaron Olfert as it is a career.
Of course, there are unseen challenges that come with tearing down a wall or changing a roof line. But creating a finished product while engaging with people and connecting with the visualizations of their homes brings with it a certain satisfaction.
“It’s extremely rewarding to see a start and the end,” he says of the projects done through his company, Cado Developments Inc. “The challenges are great. As much research as you do beforehand, there’s always an element of (revelation).You never know what’s been done to that 50- or 100-year-old house. Inside that wall you don’t really know what’s in there until you open it up.” |

Reaching into the filing cabinet in the confines of his office, Ken Rogers pulls out every adjudication from his entire Lethbridge Kiwanis Festival career.
“It’s everything every adjudicator ever said,” he says of a festival career spanning 33 years. “I keep those even in my 22nd year of teaching this year. I still intend to be writing notes this year, to be learning from the adjudicator. I don’t write as much as I used to, but I haven’t been to a performance festival yet where I haven’t learned something about me or my groups, or just kids making music in general.”
Rogers has come full circle. |
