Scholarships ‘N Stuff
Dave Dahl, LSA VP Academic
Hey everybody, hope classes are going swell.
With money being tight, why not get paid for going to school? Scholarships aren't
just awarded for high marks, but also for community involvement, volunteerism,
sports involvement, where you are from, and many other diverse criteria. On
Lakeland College's website under Campus Life you can find Financial Aid & Awards. You can
search through all of Lakeland's scholarships and there are also links to outside awards and
their criteria. It's a good idea to check both often to see approaching deadlines to make sure
that money finds a home! Keep on keeping on.

"The Bigger Picture"
Natasha Zeitz, LSA Communications Officer
Any hockey fans reading? Last week I wrote about the Leaders Hall conference I went to over
the summer. One of our guest speakers was Kelly Hrudey, former NHL goalie and now a
broadcaster for Hockey Night in Canada. I got to sit down with him before his session, one on
one, and he is as humble and cool as he is on TV. I excitedly took my seat when his session
started, stoked to hear all of these hockey triumphs and glory stories I had imagined him telling.
Instead, he began talking about what he believed to be one of his biggest failures. Hrudey was the
goaltender for the LA Kings, playing alongside greats such as Wayne Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, and Paul
Coffey. After a good season and an impressive playoff run, the Kings ended up losing the 1993 Stanley
Cup final to the Montreal Canadiens. As if losing when you're that close to victory isn't hard enough, he
had to deal with it in the public eye. He couldn't hide from it, millions of people had watched it live.
He taught us about accepting responsibility for our failures while maintaining your dignity and reputation,
no matter how difficult it may be to refrain from lashing out and saying the wrong thing. While something
as big as losing the Stanley Cup final may seem like a lot more then just a bump in the road, when you
look at the bigger picture, that's all it really is. So the next time you have a presentation in class and it
bombs, or something equally as bad, will it really matter in ten years? What will matter is how you deal
with it and how you learn from your experiences. I won't call them mistakes because mistakes have such
a negative tone. Life is about learning from your experiences. Don't let your subsequent actions shape
how people see you! So the next time something goes seriously wrong, take a deep breath and take 'er
easy, because you never know who may be watching.
The best thing about life? It goes on! Have a good week :)

Interested in Being a Volunteer?!?
Shauni Rechenmacher, LSA Awareness Coordinator
September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month, so in this week’s article I’m just
going to give you a little information on this great organization. The organization works to
provide mentoring programs for children and youth through volunteers, men and women,
age 18 or older who would like to take time to be a mentor to a young person, which can
benefit the child or youth greatly by having an adult as a role model. Typically, a volunteer
would be asked to devote a couple hours a week to being a Big Brother or Big Sister, which
isn’t a whole lot. Volunteers are what keeps this organization going, so if you would like to
be a friend where one is needed to a young person, I suggest looking into becoming a Big
Brother or Big Sister!
Have Great Week!

Inside Story Headline
This story can fit 150-200
words.
One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is
that you can reuse content from
other marketing materials, such
as press releases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to
sell your product or service, the
key to a successful newsletter is
making it useful to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to de-
velop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of
upcoming events or a special
offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or
find “filler” articles by accessing
the World Wide Web. You can
write about a variety of topics
but try to keep your articles
short.
Much of the content you put in
your newsletter can also be
used for your Web site. Microsoft Publisher offers a simple
way to convert your newsletter
to a Web publication. So, when
you’re finished writing your
newsletter, convert it to a Web
site and post it.

Inside Story Headline
“To catch the
reader's attention,
place an
interesting
sentence or quote
from the story
here.”
This story can fit 100-150
words.
The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually
endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your
field.
You may also want to note business or economic trends, or
make predictions for your customers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed
internally, you might comment
upon new procedures or improvements to the business.
Sales figures or earnings will
show how your business is
growing.
Some newsletters include a
column that is updated every
issue, for instance, an advice
column, a book review, a letter
from the president, or an edito-
rial. You can also profile new
employees or top customers or
vendors.
Inside Story Headline
This story can fit 75-125 words.
Selecting pictures or graphics is
an important part of adding
content to your newsletter.
Think about your article and ask
yourself if the picture supports
or enhances the message you’re
trying to convey. Avoid selecting
images that appear to be out of
context.
Microsoft Publisher includes
thousands of clip art images
from which you can choose and
import into your newsletter.
There are also several tools you
can use to draw shapes and
symbols.
Once you have chosen an image, place it close to the article.
Be sure to place the caption of
the image near the image.

Minute To Win It
Mack Lewis
Where are you from?
It doesn't matter where you are from, it only matters where you are going... No that was stupid, I'm
from Sedgewick, Alberta.
What program are you in?
Program? I don't even go to this school. You just saw me and asked for an interview and I am too
narcissistic to turn one down.
What's one of your favourite things in life?
When something just horrible happens to someone I truly despise.
Who is one of your favourite comedians, musicians, or actors?
...................... * He stares at the floor with deep concentration* Carrot To....................No......*He
looks back and forth to the ceiling*........Elton.................No No No..........*He looks around breathing
heavily with a frightened gleam in his eyes*..........Tyler Perr.......... *His face turning red as he bites
his hand, his breathing now rapid*.. Next Question!
What made you choose Lakeland College?
I chose Lakeland College because it beats sleeping on the street at night. I just go to sleep in the
cafeteria during the day with a binder in front of me and no one asks questions. Then I have the
whole night to do B & E 's.
What's the funniest thing you did in your childhood?
Got my parents divorced.
What motivates you?
Fear. That is about the only thing that motivates me to do anything. In high school when I had
homework I would place pictures of Himmler, Goring and Göth above my desk. And I got the best
grades I've ever had doing that. Although my parents thought I was affiliated with Neo-National
Socialists.
Who would you have supper with living or dead?
I would have supper with a dead Tom Cruise, I feel I could really savour my meal with a man I truly
despise sitting before me lifeless. Wait I didn't hear this right, did I?
