Wednesday, August 15, 1990 The Gazette Page 17 exciting times at Saan store ye. Christmas memories bjNdll While 30 temperatures are hardly condusive to Christmas stories, I was reminded of Christmas celebrations on the family form near Stratton, Ontario by a picture in a hotel room. The print depicted a spruce tree bedecked lovingly away for another celebration. The part of the tree that hadn't been set up served another purpose. My brother, Dick, was the only member of the family with dark hair. Just minutes before midnight New Year's Eve, he was sent out side to get a spruce branch. He and the spruce branch were the first visitors to the Leatherdale home after the midnight bell had rung. I remembered thia ancient custom in Olds when we invited an elderly Scottish lady to share New Year's dinner with ua in Olds. The meal was on the table, she had promised to be on time but there was no activity outside her house. Suddenly. I. realized that she would not leave her home until she had at least one visitor. Taking our dark haired son in tow, we broke off a chunk of a spruce tree and visited our friend. She beamed as she opened the door and saw us on her doorstep. After a brief visit, in her house, she accompanied us to a fine New Year's dinner. JBi with clip-on candle I I * KSEfs all about aphids A massive a lt;tey renovation sale is featured Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Saan Store in Olds. The local store, one of 250 in the Saan chain has been completely renovated to provide wider aisles, a brighter atmosphere and more customer services. (See story and two page color spread in this week's Gazette.) Faced with a grand opening renovation sale and then three weeks of Back-to- School promotions. Ron Rudulier and the staff at the Olds Saan store are in a tizzy. The store's 15 full time staff added by 10 casuals has been shifting stock from one area to another as carpenters, painters, electricians and laborers go through the process of giving the store a new look, And a new look it will be as the department colours vary from burgundy to a blue gray but the purpose of the change is to serve the customers better. With a chain of 250 stores, the Olds transformation falls about half way between those completed and those yet to be renovated. The result, says Rudulier, is a store in which the departments are well defined. That makes for ease of shopping and a brighter store.

It was exactly like the tree I cherish in my memory. Just a few days before Christmas, the three Leatherdale boys would go into the bush to cut and bring home the Christmas tree. It had to be spruce and it had to be the best shaped tree that nature could produce. We would tie the tree to a toboggan and haul it home in the deep snow. At home Tt would be cut off, mounted on a base and set up in the living room. There Mother would lovingly take out the candles and candle- holders she had brought from Scotland and attach these to the branches. They were placed on the branches so that when lit, they would not start the tree on fire. Christmas Eve, the candles were lit just before bedtime and it is those tiny, flickering flames in a darkened room that still remind me of Christmas long ago. Christmas day brought no mound of treasure but there was always a harmonica, a knife, a Jew's harp or some other small gift to satisfy the desire of a small boy. Each night until the day after New Years in true Scottish style, the Christmas candles were lit just prior to our bed- Ten young Albertans who have shown exceptional effort and commitment have been selected as the 1990 Alberta Junior Citizen of the Year Award recipients. The nominees were so extraordinary each one of them should be highly commended for their achievements, said one of the judges, Ireen Slater, Director of the St. Alberta SAIF (Stop Abuse in Families) Society. The 10 individuals chosen for the award are special young people who must bring great pride to their families and communities. The 1990 recipients are: Deanna Brown, Tofield; Cheryl Berg, Tofield; Cora Lee Nolan-Lillemo, Lethbridge; Chris Koch, Nanton; Shelley Prosick, Hinton; Polly-' anna Peters, Eckville; Lance Robertson, Delbuene; Michelle Tainsh, Three Hills; Stacey Hunter, Beaverlodge; and Nicholas Kissell, Glendon.

Each recipient will be presented with a framed citation and a 300 cash award.

Camroee Some farmers have noticed aphids in heavy numbers in their wheat fields. Most of tte time aphids do not cause serious damage however when their numbers do increase aphids can cause some yield loss due to direct feeding, injection of toxins, virus transmission or any combination of the three. Here's a quick life history on aphids. All aphids are females except for one generation in the fall which are male and egg laying females. For all other generations of aphids the females give birth to live young. These females reproduce quicker than rabbits One adult can produce 20-30 nymphs in a few days. Each nymph will be reproducing within (me week which sort of explains how aphid numbers can increase so quickly. In most cases aphid numbers can be controlled by natural predators or parasites. However when aphid populations increase very rapidly under good conditions these natural enemies do not increase as fast. At that time a registered insecticide may be needed to control the aphid. Not all aphids cause economic damage, so it is important to find out what aphids are in the crop. For example English Pea Aphid causes more damage at lower numbers because of the location on the wheat plant that the aphids feed. Peak numbers of the English Pea Aphid appear on the heads of spring wheat in the soft dough stage. They feed directly on the heads of maturing grain which may cause yield reductions due to fewer seeds per head or smaller, shrivelled kernels. Another aphid we sometimes see in grain crops is the Rose Grass Aphid. Cereal plants can withstand larger numbers of this aphid because this aphid tends to be more present on the leaves of the plant, not the head.
