Lois Hole
Lois Elsa Hole, CM, AOE (née Veregin; 30 January 1929 – 6 January 2005) was a Canadian politician, businesswoman, academician, professional gardener and best-selling author. She was the 15th Lieutenant Governor of Alberta from 10 February 2000 until her death. She was known as the "Queen of Hugs" for breaking with protocol and hugging almost everyone she met, including journalists, diplomats and other politicians.
Early life and education
Hole was born in Buchanan, Saskatchewan to Michael M. Veregin and Elsa Viktoria Norsten on 30 January 1929. Her family moved to Edmonton, Alberta in 1948, where she completed her education at Strathcona Composite High School.
Family
In 1950, she met Ted Hole, a young University of Alberta agriculture student. Several years later they married and moved to a 200-acre (0.81 km2) farm near St. Albert, Alberta. Lois and Ted Hole ran a successful market garden business from their farm which they, along with their sons Bill and Jim, incorporated as Hole's Greenhouses & Gardens Ltd. in 1979. It remained one of Western Canada's largest retail greenhouse stores until it closed in early 2011 when the Hole family moved the operation to their new site on the edge of Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park, and opened the Enjoy Centre.

Make You Believe
by: Lucy HalePlug in the mic, open the curtains
Turn on the lights, I'm through rehearsing
The feeling ignites, I'm in control
The crowds in the palm of my hands
All my fans stand, what is the truth?
What's an illusion?
You're searching for proof
But are you certain?
Whatever you see is what you get
If words paint a picture then
I betcha I can getcha yet
I'll make you believe in me
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
I'll make you believe in me
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
I got nothing to lose, I've been exposed
I'm paying my dues, playing the role
I'm breaking the rules, flowing the flow
I've got the whole world nodding "yes"
Like some bobble heads
I'll break a sweat, if you wanna
Confess all your sins, you know you got 'em
The rooms in a spin, the fever's pitched
I swear there's no doubt I'm legit
I'm no counterfeit
I'll make you believe in me
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
I'll make you believe in me
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
I'm not shy, boy
I can be what you want
Your bright shiny toy
You just have to respond
The clock never stops
But baby, it's time
There's no doubt in my mind
That I can make you believe
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
I'll make you believe in me
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
I'll make you believe in me
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
I'll make you believe in me
I can be what you want me to be
Tonight is the night
Where I make you see
That I can be anything
Anything, anything
