PHOTOGRAPHS by JOHN ULAN List Representative of Our Alumni Community THE GOLD MEDALLIST THE HOCKEY COACH WHO INSPIRED GENERATIONS WHAT DOES 100 LOOK LIKE? Over the past year we’ve discovered that it looks like volunteers and entrepreneurs, artists and inventors, academics and committed community members. One hundred ranges across continents and areas of expertise — but in the end it tells a surprisingly cohesive story. THE RANCHER-TURNED- In honour of the University of Alberta Alumni Association’s 100th anniversary, the New Trail team decided to feature one representative for MOLECULAR GENETICIST THE FACE OF TSN’S each graduating class starting from 1911, when the first degrees were granted. SPORTSCENTRE It was an exciting idea and an overwhelming task: how do you choose 103 people from more than 260,000 University of Alberta graduates? And once you have your list, would people even want to participate? As it turns out, we were amazed by the generosity of those asked to take part in this year-long project. From the staff and alumni who volunteered to sit on our selection committee to the graduates who carved out the time to sit for our photographers, every last person was gracious, enthusiastic and humble. We’re grateful that so many made the time to help celebrate this amazing community of people. In selecting the few to represent the many, we strove to make the entire PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN ULAN list representative of our alumni community. Ninety-three per cent of our alumni live in Canada, with 75 per cent of them living in Alberta. Education, FIRST TREATY Arts and Science are the faculties with the most grads. Our alumni are heavily involved in volunteer work and public service. Additionally, we INDIAN MP sought to strike a balance between outstanding grads whose achievements IN CANADA are well-known and outstanding grads whose accomplishments might not be recognized beyond their families or communities. You can dive in and read each person’s story or page through to see the meta-stories: the early years, filled with so many accomplishments on a global scale, and notable for their firsts for women and minorities; the mid- 20th century in which Alberta became a leader in energy; the emergence of CENTURY environmental awareness in the ’60s and ’70s; and the increasing diversity of our population in recent decades. THE FACE You will also find some graduates whose stories we highlight because of what they show us about our larger story: the international student who stayed in Alberta to serve an at-risk population (page 20); the advocate for OF COMPILEDA BY BRIDGET STIRLING AND RICK PILGER disabled people (23); the science grad who found fame with The Simpsons (24); the unsung hero who spent her life putting others first (32); and the lifelong learner who is turning 100 (44). As we went through this list, it was hard not to feel a little overwhelmed THE MAN WHO HELPED by the accomplishments of our graduates. Certainly, boiling their life stories FIND FRANKLIN’S LOST SHIP down to one or two sentences was an extremely difficult task. But these people allowed us into their lives in an incredibly personal and genuine It was an intriguing idea: choose way. Our alumni are funny and warm and joyful and generous, and that is one grad from each year since reflected in these photographs in a way that could never come across in a the University of Alberta started summary of their accomplishments. This has been a singular experience for awarding degrees. The result was us, and we hope you share that feeling of awe and celebration as you look at these pages. — LISA COOK, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF a story big enough to fill a century. 12 newtrail.ualberta.ca new trail winter 2014 13 2013 DIANE ORIHEL 2012 JEREMY BRYANT ’13 PhD | Winnipeg ’12 BCom | Edmonton A freshwater ecologist who is a strong voice for science He is co-founder of Mealshare, helping restaurants and the environment in Canada, Orihel helped save the across Canada donate money to food programs based Experimental Lakes Area research centre. on how many diners buy Mealshare-starred dishes. 2014 RUSLAN BERGENOV 2011 JAN BUTERMAN 2010 STEPHANIE EDDY ’14 MA | Edmonton ’92 BA, ’11 Dip(Ed) | Edmonton ’10 BA | Okotoks, Alta.

  • History of the Commonwealth Games
    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games.

Olympic gold medallists Allan Wells and Eric Liddell were the inaugural inductees to the scottishathletics Hall of Fame. Wells, the 1980 Olympic 100 metres gold medallist, was there in person to accept the award, as was Patricia Russell, the daughter of Liddell, whose triumph in the 400 metres at the 1924 Olympic Games was an inspiration behind the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire. The legendary duo were nominated by a specially-appointed panel consisting of Andy Vince, Joan Watt and Bill Walker of scottishathletics, Mark Hollinshead, Managing Director of Sunday Mail and an on-line poll conducted via the scottishathletics website. The on-line poll resulted in the following votes: 31% voting for Allan Wells, 24% for Eric Liddell and 19% for Liz McColgan. Liz was inducted into the Hall of Fame the following year, along with the Olympic gold medallist Wyndham Halswelle.

  • TUMAT SOGOLIK -‐ BOXING – Olympics, Oceania Championships, Commonwealth Games
    TUMAT SOGOLIK - BOXING – Olympics, Oceania Championships, Commonwealth Games & South Pacific Games While he had a wonderful career in local PNG fights, Oceania Championships in Tahiti (1974), the South Pacific Games in Guam (1975) and the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, it was his participation in the 1978 Commonwealth Games that has defined his career, and has kept him as a household-name in PNG. I had travelled to Edmonton in Canada for the 1978 Commonwealth Games, to watch some of the best Athletes in the world, but specifically to cheer on the track and field athletes from the Pacific Islands. I had just finished seven years of teaching in Fiji and was due to start my PNG teaching career in 1979. To my shock, not one Pacific nation sent any athletes. I still do not know why. A quick check as to who else was in town and I discovered that PNG was represented in the Boxing. (I apologise to those involved in the two other PNG sports on offer, but I was not too tempted to buy tickets to the Lawn Bowls or the Shooting). A quick, last-minute purchase saw me getting a rare spare ticket for the Quarter Final match of Tumat Sogolik versus David George from Wales. It was all over very quickly with Tumat impressing all who were present with his second round demolition of the Welshman. I later heard that he defeated the Kenyan, Douglas Maina (one of the pre-Games favourites for the gold medal) in a first round KO in the semi-final.

  • Commonwealth Games: Friendly Rivalry
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2013–14 6 November 2013 Commonwealth Games: friendly rivalry Dr Rhonda Jolly Social Policy Section Executive summary • Elite athletes from the Commonwealth meet every four years to compete in the multi-sport event known as the Commonwealth Games. • While the Commonwealth Games boasts many similarities to the Olympics, it differs in the more relaxed and ‘friendly’ spirit of competition, which is a highlight of most events. • The spirit of friendship has not always prevailed, however, and there have been serious rifts between Commonwealth nations that have manifested themselves in boycotts of the Games. While these have threatened at times to dissolve, or seriously weaken the Commonwealth, solutions have always been found and the Commonwealth and its Games have endured. • Australia was one of a group of nations that first participated in competition between Britain and its colonies in 1911; it has participated in the Games in all its forms since that time. It is acknowledged as the most successful of the Commonwealth nations in this sporting competition—winning over 200 more medals than its nearest rival. • Australian cities have hosted the Games four times. While there have been some hiccoughs in the staging of each event—some social, and some economic—Sydney, Perth and Brisbane have all received accolades and Melbourne was praised as ‘the best’ following the 2006 Games. • In 2018 Australia will host another Commonwealth Games—on Queensland’s Gold Coast. • This paper looks back at how the Games came to be, Australia’s experience of staging the event and contemplates how the Gold Coast will deal with that legacy and surmount perceived and unexpected complications that will inevitably surface before the 2018 Games’ Opening Ceremony.

The cold weather is here with a vengeance - a good time to get serious about our hobby . This issue of the Slogan Box contains a listing (with illustrations) of all of the hand stamps that 1, members of our study group and one or two non-members were able to come up with. It is by no means complete but I hope that it initiates a good beginning at a serious listing of these interesting markings . I will continue to add new listings in future issues of the Slogan Box as they are received. It is also the end of the year and we have to think about financing of the slogan Box for 1997. The plan for 1997 is to have six issues of about 15 to 20 pages each, one every two months, as our editor and others are able to produce material . I have been able to find a lower rate for photocopying ($0.0375 per copy doublesided, plus GST) but I have also been surprised at the high cost of postage (some that had been weighed and measured at one post office came back for more postage, I would think that if one arm of the post office would accept the price quoted from another arm).
