This night, a These gents will be on a very honorable mission: to generate donations and overall awareness towards the prevention of abuse and gender violence.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes

is a fund-raiser made possible through exceptional cooperation by the Kodiaks hockey club. All proceeds are being directed to Camrose Women’s Shelter Society. The hope is that the general public, thanks to the efforts of these bold, self-confident “good-sports,” will be better able to relate to “walking a mile in the shoes” of those forced to rely on the local shelter in times of crisis. The participants shown above are some of the local, concerned citizens who will be walking around the Edgeworth Centre running track eight times on game night. Like all walkers, they are collecting pledges for their individual efforts. Donations of $20 or more will earn a tax receipt. Cheques should be made payable to Camrose Women’s Shelter Society.

Council adopts City heritage inventory By Dan Jensen

What do the Founders' Hall at the Augustana Faculty, the Canadian Northern Railway Station, Ukrainian Catholic Church, 41 Street grain elevator, residences on 48 and 49 Street, the Camrose Federal Building, Candler Art Gallery, Alice Hotel, Rosehaven heritage building and Mirror Lake have in common? They're among the 41 historic places that have been included in a City of Camrose heritage inventory. Developed by Heritage Collaborative Inc. with funding from Alberta Municipal Heritage Services and local input, the inventory will allow the City

of Camrose to move forward on policies that could create potential municipal historical designation. It will also provide opportunity for property owners to apply for provincial regulations and possible funding opportunities through the Alberta Main Street program. "The adoption of the program is required prior to future involvement with the next phase of the Main Street program," said Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers after council adopted the inventory Jan. 16. Properties that were considered for inclusion in the inventory were displayed during an open house at the Bailey The-

atre during the last Camrose Founders Days. Criteria used in the evaluation included theme/activity/ event/cultural practice, institution or person, design/style of construction, information potential, landmark/symbolic value, location, design, environment, building materials, workmanship, feeling and association. "A task force of volunteers from the community provided invaluable assistance with the classification process," said City of Camrose director of planning and development services Brenda Hisey. Founders' Hall (Camrose Lutheran College's Old Main) was built in the late Victorian

Albertans pushing government for regulation of energy

neo-classical style and is one of the earliest post secondary institutions constructed of wood in Alberta. The Ukrainian Catholic Church was built by the parish of the first Catholic Church in Camrose as the St. F rancis Xavier Church, and was moved to its present location in 1953 after being sold to the Bethel Lutheran Church. The Camrose Federal Building (now location of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce), housed the post office and the RCMP, while the Candler Art Gallery building was the location of the first store in Stoney Creek in 1905. The City of Camrose Municipal Sustainability Plan recognizes the importance

the past has on the strength of the community. T he plan's cultural pillar identifies significant historical resources within the community and suggests a heritage resources management plan be established with policies and procedures to protect them. The City of Camrose Strategic Plan Going Forward, The Roadmap to 2015 provides support to a plan which would preserve the city's heritage facilities. "This is a ll about preserving our history," said Chalmers. "I don't think there is a nybody that would disagree that we need to do that. The City of Camrose is v ery anxious and enthused to be part of moving this ahead."

A lot of bull

By Murray Green

NDP Opposition leader Brian Mason launched a petition campaign to push for regulation of Alberta’s deregulated energy market. “We’re paying the highest price for power ever this month, and consumers are riding a p ower rate roller coaster month to month. The numerous calls, faxes and e-mails we’ve received on the issue tell me Albertans want off this ride,” the Opposition leader said. “People are showing us their power bills from a decade ago to show just how much more they’re paying these days. It’s outrageous that some people are paying double what they did 10 years ago." There are options. “We’re letting Albertans know there is an alternative to wild price fluctuations and corporate profiteering: a regulated electricity market,” Mason said. “Power is a n essential service, and Albertans deserve the assurance of reliable, low prices only regulation can offer. Let’s work together to reregulate our electricity system.” The core action of the campaign – a p etition opposing deregulation and supporting regulation – can be signed online at www. ndpopposition.ab.ca/powerprices. The web site also has printable petition pages for distribution, a hot line for Albertans to share their stories of power price pain, and background information on the issue. The campaign will also be promoted through Facebook and Twitter. Concerned citizens A group called Concerned Neighbours In Partnership (CNIP) are also discouraged with the lack of action from the Alberta government. The CNIP petition is c ompletely partyneutral and non-partisan. They simply want Bills 36, 10 and 24 repealed. CNIP started an anti-bill petition because the Landowners Against Bills petition has still not been presented. Keith Wilson and Colleen Boddez plan to present the Landowners Against Bills petition, in mid February. The CNIP petition is posted on the Camrose County council web site under "Doing Business" in the drop-down menu. CNIP is asking that people sign the petition by Jan. 28, so action can take place prior to the upcoming election. Contact Deb Kirk at 780-374-2278 or Marion Leithead at 780-373-2467.

Bruce Butler, from Lone Pine Ranch, shows off his horned Hereford at the 26th edition of the Canadian Bull Congress, held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition Jan. 20 and 21. The Canadian Bull Congress has grown to become one of Alberta's top cattle shows, with an average attendance of 7,500. A trade show gives vendors the opportunity to display products for cattle producers.

Camrosians won't pay for library cards in 2012 By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents won't be required to pay for their library membership cards in 2012. Camrose City council has agreed to provide an additional $14,630 in funding to Camrose Public Library for the coming year to cover the cost of offering membership cards free of charge to all city users. "It was a unanimous decision and one we are very happy with," said Mayor Marshall Chalmers. "It's a decision we feel that should have been made a long time ago." Council started talking about the possibility of eliminating the fee for library membership cards when the library

board presented its 2012 budget request of $448,777 in November. "It surprised us that they (council) would be willing to talk about it since it wasn't something we requested," said Camrose Public Library board chair Anjah Howard. The removal of library membership fees for all residents has been on the Camrose Public Library's bucket list for a number of years. Until now the library has been only able to offer memberships free of charge to those under the age of 18 and to those who make special requests because of financial circumstances. "By making the cards free to everyone, people don't have to

go through the process of making that request," said Camrose Public Library director Deb Cryderman. While library membership is free of charge under the Alberta Libraries Act, libraries have been able to charge for membership cards and the renewal of those cards. "Our province and small parts of Quebec are the only places in Canada that are allowed to charge for library membership cards," said Cryderman. "We are not allowed to charge for memberships but we are allowed to charge for the card. It is a rea l loophole in the Libraries Act." Camrose County residents

will still be required to pay $12 for their annual membership card until County council can work out an arrangement on library funding within individual villages and towns. Camrose Public Library currently has 6,585 registered members, seventy-seven per cent of which are from the city of Camrose. The number of books that went out of the library in 2011 was 235,492. Howard praised City council for its willingness to cover the cost of library cards for 2012 and possibly beyond. "I think it will make the library truly open to all ratepayers in the community."

No word on grant

The Camrose Public Library board has still not heard from the provincial government on its application for a CF EP grant to cover the cost of much-needed renovations. "We are hoping that it will come through right away but as a board we do have a backup plan and will be going ahead with some of the work regardless of what happens," said Howard. Students from CCHS are currently building cabinets for the library as a community program. Phase one of the library's renovation project will include public spaces, while phase two will focus on work spaces.

BRSD seeking input from the community The Board of Trustees of Battle River School Division wants to hear from members of the communities it serves. As part of its annual planning process, the board will be hosting three separate sessions for members of the public. The topic of the sessions will be based on the question “how do we build relationships, collaboration and cooperation between rural communities?” According to BRSD board

vice chair Doug Bowie, the question is a timely one. “Demographic and economic predictions are that rural communities will continue to be challenged. As a school division, we’re looking for new ideas about how we can provide the high quality educational services students deserve, in spite of these tough realities.” Members of the public are invited to attend whichever session best suits their schedules,

but are asked to register in advance. Sessions will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the following dates: Wednesday, February 8 at Allan Johnstone School, Hardisty; Wednesday, February 15 at the Ryley School; Thursday, February 23 at the Round Hill School. Please register by e-mailing dhutchinson@ brsd.ab.ca or calling 780-672-6131 ext. 5248.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Family Literacy is Basic Need We think of food, clothing and shelter as basic needs. In today’s world, there is a nother: education. For obvious proof, one has only to observe that, throughout the world, poverty is a c ompanion of illiteracy – t he lack of ability to read a nd write – which is said to affect about five percent of the world’s population. More widespread is a category of handicapped persons who have been to school, can read and write but, for whatever reason, still lack the literacy and numeracy skills to provide for themselves the other three necessities. It is i ndeed a big problem. Commonly accepted as fact is that, even in a developed country such as Canada, over 40 percent of the adult population, aged 16 to 65, have serious problems with reading, writing and math. That’s nine million Canadians, many of them Canadian-born and educated – t hey are not mostly immigrants as one might presume. In an attempt to improve this situation, since 1999, January 27 has been observed annually as Family Literacy Day. The initiative was taken by ABC Life Literacy Canada for the purpose of calling attention to the importance of reading and learning as a l ifetime family experience. As usual, our Camrose Public Library and other entities in the community are planning special events for that day and other days, too. It is important to notice that ‘Family’ is in the name of this special day – Family Literacy Day – which is i ntended to encourage families to read a nd learn together. Yes, one’s initial vision is of parents reading to children for the benefit of children. The truth is, the adult is also honing his/her own literacy skills which is of inestimable value to the family; studies confirm that quality of life for families, including income levels and employment status, is directly related to the literacy levels of parents. It is now realized that children who cannot read at programmed level by grades two or three are more likely to fall behind and are at greater risk of eventually dropping out of school. We are also becoming more aware of the need for adults to continue to use the literacy skills they learned at school or they lose them. There is no substitute for that loss because, in the end, every other skill is dependent on it: the skill to read instructions, regulations, warnings, applications for employment, safety precautions, et cetera. Getting help to prepare an impressive resumé may get employment but it won’t keep a job if the applicant lacks the required literary skill for the position. Busy as are so many parents and children these days, let us make time to read a nd learn together. We are told even fifteen minutes a day of talking, reading, playing games and engaging in thought-provoking activities can make a w orld of difference – to a child and to a family. Play word games as a family. Join a book club and/or a writing guild as an adult. Read a magazine. Have in your home reading material related to your child’s special interests. Let’s make every day a Family Literacy Day! Watch for a Letters of Literacy Scrabble Tournament, arranged by the ATA Local in cooperation with the Battle River School Division, to be held Feb. 25 at the Farmers' Market; it is a fundraising project for next July's session of Reading University.

Letters are welcomed but please limit them to 500 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only name of writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted. The Camrose Booster may edit for length, clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Dear Editor: At last count there were at least 28 churches with the associated Minister of the Gospel in the city of Camrose. However, there was not one of which stood up for me when I wrote regarding the elimination of Christ out of the Christmas greetings. Yes, there was one woman who had guts enough to oppose me but where were the Christians? (Well now, Christmas is ov er and done with for another year). However, I recently received an e-mail stating that 14 per cent of so-called Canadians want God removed from our anthem of O C anada. Eightysix per cent wanted God to still be recognized therein. Guess who will win the argument. Only in Canada do minorities usually win. Yes, Canada is known to be a multicultural domain, but is that any reason for us to let other nations trample us under foot? If we tell God to get lost enough times He may do just that. Then what kind of mess would we be in? Regardless of the cost, stand up and be counted. Mary E. Ringwall Warke, Camrose Dear Editor: Camrose and District Pro Life recently assisted with the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition's petition requesting the Attorney General of Canada to uphold the current law against physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia, particularly in regard to the Carter case which was before the British Columbia court in November and December of 2011. Several of the almost 500 people who signed the petition recognized that legalizing euthanasia can lead to increased elder abuse and empowering the health care system to the detriment of individual patient rights. As we were speaking with Camrose citizens about this petition we realized that the public often has misconceptions regarding what euthanasia really is. Euthanasia is a deliberate act intended to cause death. It is not 1) a pa tient's refusal to accept treatment, although

that refusal might eventually lead to death; 2) the decision by a doctor, his terminally ill patient, and the patient's family to administer pain-relieving medication, even when that medication may shorten the patient's life by a few days (here the intent is to relieve pain, not to cause death). Most of us have lost loved ones, often to a pa inful and prolonged death. For that reason, the November 17, 2011, recommendations of the parliamentary committee on palliative and compassionate care should give us hope that those with terminal illness will be able to access compassionate end of life care rather than assisted suicide care – not killing. Gail Schulte, Camrose Dear Editor: I was coming home from the Oilers' game last Friday night. As I w as coming down Highway 21 the red lights started flashing on the railroad crossing. I i mmediately stopped, letting the train proceed. I s pent the rest of the way home thinking if motorists stop for flashing red lights on railway crossings, why do they not stop when a school bus has flashing red lights? I am a b us driver for the Battle River School Division. My route takes me to Bittern Lake and surrounding area. On my route I have a couple of highway stops either on Highway 21 or Highway 13. Since the beginning of this school year, I can estimate I have had around 30 red light infractions. In just this last week alone (January 9 t o 13) I h ave had four motorists ignore the lights and not stop while my red lights were flashing! The worst case so far just happened last week as I was dropping off one of my ECS students on Highway 13 near Bittern Lake. I d id the proper procedure with my red lights, the child’s father was waiting on the shoulder of the highway to come across and get his child, the traffic behind me was stopped, but two oncoming cars were approaching and did not stop to obey the red lights; in fact they did not even slow down! I did keep the child safely in my bus until all lanes of traffic had stopped and it was safe. That is w hy it got me thinking/questioning that Friday night on my way home: why would a l icensed motorist ignore a sch ool bus flashing red lights? I c ould only come up with a few reasons ... and even these reasons do not make good sense! 1. Total ignorance of the law? 2. Distracted driving? 3. Thinking that the safety

of these children is the total responsibility of the bus driver? 4. A total disregard for the safety of our children? I am not sure why this happens. But I have talked with the RCMP two times and the sheriff’s department once this year. They are fully aware of the locations where these violations continue to occur. I am hoping that safety officers will find the time to come out and occasionally monitor these places, so that when I let any child off the bus they will arrive home safe! Gerry Siewert Camrose Dear Editor: This year the Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) has chosen Hawaii as its destination of choice for its second annual virtual trek. St arting on February 1st, individuals can challenge family members, friends and colleagues to a race around the islands. Last year over 500 participants registered for a trek that took them across Alberta so t he PCN decided it was time to turn up the heat and head somewhere warm in hopes of attracting even more snow birds and fairweather friends. I am so p leased with the partnership the PCN has once again been able to establish with the University of Alberta Augustana Fitness Centre for this event. Registering for this year’s virtual trek during the first week of February means individuals can take advantage of the fitness centre’s 90 days for 90 dollars campaign. The fitness centre is also providing the individual winner of the virtual trek with a o neyear fitness centre membership. I would like to thank both Jalene Johnsen and Deanna Roper from Augustana Fitness Centre for collaborating with the PCN on this project as well as Colleen Lindholm for her efforts in spearheading this great health prevention campaign on behalf of the PCN. Health prevention is one of five initiatives identified for the Camrose PCN and PCN physicians are supportive of projects and events such as the virtual trek that encourage their patients to live healthier lives. Joining the virtual trek is as simple as logging on to the PCN website at www.camrosepcn.com and clicking on the virtual trek logo. I a lso welcome you to join us for the Kick-off Event on February 1st at noon at the Edgeworth Centre Walking Track. For more information contact the PCN office at 780-608-4927. See you around the islands! M ahalo and Aloha! Stacey L. Strilchuk, Executive Director, Camrose PCN

Licence your dog By Dan Jensen

The deadline for obtaining a dog licence is qu ickly approaching. The City of Camrose animal control bylaw (2357/07) requires all dogs six months of age or older to be licenced prior to January 31 of each year. The fee for altered dogs (those that have been spayed or neutered) and unaltered dogs is $20 and $40 respectively. The licence fee for guard dogs, both altered and unaltered, is $40. The licence fee for a d angerous dog (meaning a d og of any age, including a g uard dog that has chased, attacked or bitten any person or other domestic animal, shown a p ropensity, disposition or potential to attack or injure without provocation, or been made the subject of an order under the Dangerous Dog Act) is $150. The animal control bylaw does not classify any specific breeds as dangerous or vicious. "Any dog could be deemed dangerous based on the actions or behaviour of the dog," states the City of Camrose bylaw enforcement officer on the City of Camrose website. The cost of obtaining a licence after January 31 is $ 30 for an altered dog, $50 for a nonaltered dog and $250 for a d angerous dog. The fine for having an unlicenced dog is $75 for first offence. The fine for a se cond offence is $150, while the fine for a t hird offence is $300. Owners of a d angerous dog

or guard dog that bites or attacks a person are subject to a f ine of $300. Owners of dangerous dogs must maintain in force a policy or liability insurance in a f orm satisfactory to the city manager, providing third party liability coverage in a minimum amount of $500,000 for injuries caused by the owner's dog. The City of Camrose dog licence and fine revenue is u sed to help offset the costs that are incurred in regard to animal control, including the animal pound contract. Owners who licence their dogs are issued a metal dog tag which has been stamped with a number and the year of the licence. The tag must be attached to the collar or harness worn by the dog. Owners must remove any defecation left by their dog on public property or private property other than their own. Owners may redeem an impounded dog upon payment to the City of Camrose all fines, fees and costs prescribed by the animal control bylaw. A re lease form will then be provided, which must be taken to the Camrose Animal Clinic. Any dog that has been placed in the pound shall be kept therein for a p eriod of not less than three clear days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, unless claimed prior by the owner or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the bylaw. The City of Camrose animal bylaw enforcement officer may be contacted by calling City Hall at (780)672-4426.

A CN Rail train derailed about a kilometre north of the hamlet of Hay Lakes at about 8 a.m. on January 20. No injuries were reported after the northbound train had approximately 20 cars jump off the tracks. Some of the cars were carrying general goods, while others were believed to be empty. Officials are still investigating the cause of the derailment.

The Churchmice Players from Camrose will be taking their show on the road for a performance at the Daysland's Palace Theatre on Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m.. Love Letters, by A.R. Gurney, reveals a story that starts in the late 1930s and spans about 50 years. A g irl and a b oy meet in elementary school and they develop a f riendship that lasts throughout their adult lives. "The story is ab out Andrew Makepeace Ladd III who is a c hild from an upper middle class family who lives a ra ther straight and narrow life," explained Art Fadum, who plays the character. "Eventually, he becomes a senator (in the United States). He has this friend, Melissa Cardner, who is his high school sweetheart. Due to circumstances beyond their control, they find that their parents keep sending them off in different directions. They keep in touch through correspondence. The audience ends up pulling for them because they both end up making terrible mistakes." Though they occasionally drift apart, there is some kind of deep attraction, which keeps them coming back to each other. "The friendship becomes romantic, but he goes off to war and she gets married to someone else. Then she is divorced, but he marries someone else and it goes back and forth," said Sylvia Lyon, who plays the part of Melissa. "It is a contrast of personalities. I'm wild and rich, and get what ever I want, when I w ant it. I'm a n artist and he is a businessman." The two people don't have a lot in common, other than a certain attraction to each other. "Even if we did get together, we probably couldn't stand each other," laughed Art.

Andrew becomes a lawyer and a politician, but Melissa is filthy rich and has a mother who has a drinking problem. "Eventually, they have an affair. Finally, they may be more than friends. He gets cold feet after thinking about what a divorce would do to his political career." The show was performed in Camrose last May. "People in Daysland asked us if we would come out and do the show," said Sylvia. "We really appreciate Daysland asking us out, because this is the first time we have performed out there. It will be a good experience. It is perfect for a small play like this." The audience can sit back and enjoy the performance. "With just the two of us on stage and no costume changes, it is an easy production to take on the road," added Art. The two characters are on stage for about two hours revealing their thoughts and reasons for the actions they take. "The show was well received. What was good for me, was the fact it is totally different than anything we have done before," said Art. He has been cast for many parts since 1991. Art's first performance was as Mr. Bumble in the Churchmice Players first version of Oliver. He has acted, been part of the set building crew and a musician. In this spring's Oliver, he will be conducting the orchestra. Sylvia joined a year later and launched her acting passion in Anne of Green Gables. She enjoys directing shows, as well as acting. Love Letters is directed by Peter LeBlanc and produced by Theo Thirsk. Tickets for Love Letters can be purchased for $15 in advance at Cathel Books in Camrose, Jerry's Pharmacy in Daysland and at the Palace Theatre prior to the show date. They cost $25 at the door.

Seniors' Chat From Camrose Senior Centre

Many common beliefs about seniors and health care are only myths. Many changes to the health care system are made without researching evidence to warrant the change, because the change is not designed to make things better for our health, but to save money in spite of the human cost involved. For example: Dr. Chris Eagle, Alberta Health Services vice president, says increasing hospital wait times are caused by an aging population. The facts contradict this statement as found out by Dr. Donna Wilson in her 2006-08 study entitled: “Who Uses Hospitals?” On the basis of the health records of every individual who was served in an Alberta hospital, emergency rooms, out-patient departments and day-surgery

The CAMROSE BOOSTER January 24, 2012

between 2006 and 2008, it was found that 76.4 per cent of all people admitted to hospital were under 65 years of age. T he average age was 39.5 years; onehalf were under age 36. T he in-patient hospital days in those two years were used by 52.8 per cent of persons under the age of 65. O f all people admitted (6060/year) 2.15 per cent waited in hospital for a nursing home or a rehabilitation bed. From 1993-95, 6,500 hospital beds were closed in Alberta even though there was a shortage of beds. The 6,500 remaining beds were expected to serve a population growth from 19932009 of 941,757 people, under the myth that only old people are admitted to hospital beds now as younger people have been shifted to ambulatory care for outpatient tests and treatment. The Alberta study shows instead that younger people are the most common in-patient, as measured by admissions and also by their share of total bed days. The people who currently use hospitals across the province reflect the fact that 89.3 per cent of our population is comprised of younger people. Increasing hospital wait times are not caused by an aging population, but by the reckless decision of the government to down size hospital bed capacity by 50 p er cent in two years. In addition, Alberta seniors spend less money on healthrelated services and supports than non-seniors, according to the Demographic Planning Commission Discussion Guide, published in 2008. In 2004, Alberta seniors spent an average of $1,733 each on health, including health-care supplies, pharmaceuticals, eye care and health insurance premiums. By comparison, non-seniors in Alberta spent an average of $2,200. Future seniors are expected to continue the trend of improved health, as baby boomers emphasize measures to prevent disease. There is a need for our highranking Alberta Health Service officials to respect the facts in order to correct myths about the cost of seniors’ health care, and for preventing ageism, the intended or unintended prejudice against older people.

With nine new directors, the Camrose Chamber of Commerce will be counting on fresh ideas. Due to recent resignations because of time constraints and policy changes at work, the board needed more positions filled. Here is an introduction of the new board members. Jarek Chin of the World Financial Group was born and raised in Camrose. "Growing up, I was very active in minor hockey and soccer. After high school, I enrolled at Augustana and studied my Bachelor of Arts in physical education. During the summer breaks, I w orked in Upper State New York at a k ids' camp (Southwoods), looking after all the sports areas and a s taff of about 25," said Jarek. "Today, I'm a brokerage owner with World Financial Group, educating families on how money works, as well as mentoring and training agents in my business. I strive to become a better person and citizen everyday by reading good books, living a healthy, active life-style, and being a role model and positive influence on everyone I m eet. I b elieve I w ill bring leadership and a y oung perspective, creativity and energy to the chamber board." Kjeryn Davis of Investors Group was raised in Camrose with “old family roots” here. "I am a fourth generation Camrosian and I am named after Chester Ronning’s daughter Kjeryn. My daughter Kora is now four years old and I look forward to raising her in the community in which I grew up." She was accepted into a denturist program two years in a row, but declined because she felt a n atural talent for finance. "I attained my MFDA mutual funds license and LLQP life, accident and sickness insurance license through the institute of financial planners and began my career as a financial consultant." She has been at Investors Group since 2008. "Volunteering has allowed me to meet a l ot of the beautiful people who make up Camrose and I l ook forward to the opportunity to share my passions with the Camrose Chamber of Commerce." Christine Gulbraa of Cloud 9 Day Spas has lived in Camrose for the past eight and a half years. "I a m the proud mom of

two sons." Cloud 9 Da y Spas is just over one year old now. "I put my name forward for nomination on the chamber board because I would like to give back to Camrose for opening its arms to my family and my business," she said. "I feel that I will be a benefit and fit with the board for betterment and growth of businesses in Camrose. Lucas Norrie of The Canadian Brewhouse currently lives in Camrose with his fiancé Amanda and their daughter Olivia. "A long-time friend and business partner, DJ Ilg and I, o pened The Canadian Brewhouse in December 2010. I w as born in B.C. where I lived until the age of 10. Our family moved to Ohaton and I a ttended school at Bawlf, where I was the Students' Union president, captain of both volleyball and basketball teams, and graduated in 1999." After receiving his diploma, he attended LCC in Lethbridge and majored in business management. "I have deep roots within the community, as my family has been in the area for generations (over 100 years), and is well known for our generosity, work ethic and ability to have fun at the same time. I plan to establish myself in Camrose and see great possibilities for this city in the future." Tony Metivier of Staples moved to Camrose with his family in November of 2010 and is the general manager of Staples here in Camrose. He has been with Staples for almost 11 years and has been in the retail industry for over 30 years. Tony believes his retail background and outgoing attitude will be a great benefit to the Camrose Chamber of Commerce and the local community He was an active member of the Quesnel Chamber of Commerce and sat as a director for a couple of years, until transferring to Camrose. Tony is a f irm believer that the chamber of commerce is a very important part of any community. Ashley Morton of Premiere Event Management has worked on numerous projects/events throughout Canada, from fundraisers to trade shows, conferences to concerts, corporate events and more. She currently sits on the committee for the Camrose Celebrating Women’s Conference and produces the Camrose Fashion Show for Cancer. Ash-

ley enjoys actively participating in the Camrose community and looks forward to expanding her knowledge and experience with future opportunities. Ron Palecek of ATB Financial has been a resident of Camrose for the past two and a half years after living or working in ten different communities in the past 20 years. "I can truly say Camrose is a great community. We are very lucky to have such an active Chamber of Commerce working to make Camrose a better place." He was a president of Kinsmen Club – recipient of the Outstanding Presidents Award and has 19 years experience within ATB Financial with a proven track record for leadership, community involvement and achievement. Debra Thompson is the owner of From Kicks to Kids Maternity and Children’s Boutique. Over the past 30 years, Debbie gained extensive experience in customer service in both the banking and hospitality industries. In 1989, she entered into the management studies program at Grant MacEwan College, graduating with her diploma in 1991. Over the years, Debbie has always been very active in all aspects of her community/business life. Since moving to Camrose in 2009, Debbie has been regularly attending Chamber of Commerce meetings and events. Kim Turre is a c o-owner of Bra Necessities, located in downtown Camrose, a quality bra and lingerie boutique, specializing in professional one-on-one fittings. The doors of Bra Necessities officially opened on February 8, 2010. "Since the age of 10, I dreamed of becoming a b usiness owner. I had many entrepreneurial ventures throughout my childhood and adolescence, but became serious about my future as an entrepreneur after a three-year career in the corporate insurance world. I b elieve it is imperative for a business to continually grow and evolve in order to always meet the needs of current customers, as well as perpetually develop and widen a business’s reach and drawing area in order to attract new customers on an ongoing basis." Dawn Anderson is the president, Jennifer Filip is t he first vice-president and Tanya Fox is the second vice-president.

Grant for Minor Hockey Week By Murray Green

The RBC World Hockey Tour, that encourages participation in minor hockey, left behind a grant of $5,000 for Camrose Minor Hockey. The gift came from the legacy of the 2012 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Junior Championship and the exhibition game between Team USA and Switzerland that was played in Camrose on Dec. 21. RBC awarded a t otal of $70,000 in grants to 14 communities across Alberta and each $5,000 grant was given as part of the World Hockey Tour to commemorate the legacy of the World Juniors and recognize the efforts of associations that help people get started, get better and go further in hockey. The grants will help fund skating programs, hockey development initiatives and coaching clinics. "RBC Play Hockey was created to support the hard work and dedication of people in communities like Camrose and Okotoks who volunteer their time to help hockey happen," said Bruce MacKenzie, regional president, Alberta and the Territories, RBC. "Hockey is part of the fabric of this nation. By supporting the game at the grassroots level, we hope to protect and grow hockey so that Canada can compete at the highest levels for generations to come." RBC Play Hockey is a w ideranging, multi-year commitment aimed at supporting grassroots hockey. The cornerstone of RBC Play Hockey is its grants program which provides funding for new and existing hockey initiatives that get people playing the game at all levels. New for 2012, RBC will augment funding for future grant recipients with one year of financial advice to help local organizations better manage their hockey programs. Grant applications will remain open until May 30. If you know of a great hockey initiative in your community, apply for an RBC Play Hockey grant at rbcplayhockey.com.

Dr. A. C. Jones and staff would like to extend our thanks to many in the Camrose community who have helped us at the time of, and since, the Christmas Eve fire on Main Street that destroyed our building: • To Camrose Fire Department, and specifically Joe Mah, for doing an excellent job of managing the fire situation and doing all that could be done to try to save our building. • To Randy Haugen, fire investigator, for his professional and respectful handling of the fire scene and investigation. • To Lorie Skiba of Lundgren & Young Insurance and Len Raymond for their immediate and skillful assistance with insurance issues. • To Dr. Greg Parsons and staff for loaning of office furniture and offering office support. • To the Foyd family and Janet for loaning us office furniture. • To the family members, friends and many patients who have offered support throughout this difficult time, we say thanks. • To the young lady who generously and anonymously paid for our breakfast at Brenda’s Café on the morning of the fire – we were all very touched by your act of kindness. Lastly, and unfortunately, it is necessary to clear up some inaccuracies reported in the local and Edmonton media regarding the occupants of the building. The main occupant of the building was Dr. A. C. Jones Chiropractic clinic, followed by Camrose News and Gifts, both on the main floor. A new hair salon and the Foundation for Peace and Multiculturalism occupied rooms on the lower floor. On the upper floor, there was a massage therapist near opening. There was no apartment suite or any other business operating on the upper floor. In light of all the positive community support, it was very disappointing to hear unverified and erroneous information in the media which only served to create gossip and rumors. Sincerely, Dr. A. C. Jones and Staff

Big Valley Jamboree adds more acts By Murray Green

Big Valley Jamboree organizers added a f ew more bands to the list for its 20th anniversary celebration in Camrose from August 2 to 5. Although the main stage headliners Blake Shelton, Toby Keith and Rascal Flatts have been named, Panhandle Productions filled in some gaps with great country music entertainers. It all starts with the Thursday Kick-off Party featuring the legendary Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Canada’s Jason McCoy is making a return visit to the Big Valley Jamboree this year. He turned in one of his finest shows at the Camrose Regional Exhibition grounds last time and local music fans have been asking for his return ever since. He is a multiple Canadian County Music Association and Juno Award winner. McCoy has a well-earned reputation as one of Canada’s finest country music male vocalists. He hasn't yet confirmed yet on which day he will be in Camrose. Besides Shelton, who will be

wrapping things up on Friday night, Kellie Pickler was added to hit the stage on the same day. She first gained national attention in 2005 as a t op 10 finalist on American Idol where she electrified audiences across North America. Kellie has steadily built on that success with a string of hits and awards. Her newest album, 100 Proof, will be released later in January and she will be performing those songs this summer. Past idol contestants Carrie Underwood and Jaydee Bixby have also had success and appeared on the main stage at BVJ. On Saturday, Toby Keith has vowed to entertain the crowd after he was disappointed he couldn't perform last year. Before he closes things out, The Good Brothers and High Valley will open for him. The Good Brothers are icons in Canadian music and have also appeared in Camrose before. Their up tempo music will have everyone singing or dancing in the concert bowl. High Valley is an upcoming Alberta band that

a lot of music fans will get an opportunity to see. The popular and entertaining Williams and Ree and rising Indie band artists The Heartbroken will open for the Eli Young band, Michelle Wright and Rascal Flatts. Michelle Wright was on the Big Valley Jamboree stage in the first year, so it is only fitting she helps celebrate the 20th anniversary. She is one of Canada’s finest female country stars. The latest member of the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, Wright has won numerous Junos, ACM and CCMA awards, including Female Vocalist of the year five times. She has now put together a 17-song acoustic album of many of her greatest hits, including “Take It Like a M an” and “She Would Be Sixteen”. Ticket prices will increase on February 1, so it is important to act now for maximum savings. For a c omplete list of prices, camping and ticket information, call Big Valley Jamboree at 1-888-404-1234 or call Ticketmaster.

A paradox surrounds Canadian band Nickelback: it is one of the world’s most popular rock bands (50 million albums sold to date), while at the same time it appears to be one of the most widely detested bands on the planet. Nickelback has recently been at the centre of more negative stories in the news: there is apparently a n ew software program available – “Nickelblock” – that can prevent Internet browsers from navigating to pages that contain any reference to the band; and a v igorous grassroots campaign was mounted to protest the band’s participation in the 2011 NFL Thanksgiving halftime show in Detroit, on the grounds that the group is “awful” and that no one actually likes Nickelback’s music anyway (a Google search of the phrase “Nickelback sucks,” by the way, yields about two million web pages). Why all this animosity – and we’re talking about hate on a gl obal scale – f or a b unch of small-town Alberta boys who formed a rock band and managed to make it big in the music industry? As I see it, there are several reasons for the ongoing backlash against Nickelback, and none of them are particularly convincing. First, elitism. R olling Stones has just published an interview with the popular indie rock duo The Black Keys; in the interview, they assert their authentic rock n’ roll ethos while identifying Nickelback as one of the bands guilty of ruining rock by spoon-feeding the listening public “ watered-down, post-grunge crap.” This is a familiar – if ironic – elitist point of view, especially from would-be “independent” or “alternative” types, namely that “the public” has no taste, and that indie rock is more like high art than insubstantial plebeian rock: if lots of people like it, it can’t be good, or art. The irony is compounded when you consider that The Black Keys are selling millions of albums themselves, are making expensive rock videos, are appearing in Rolling Stone (the magazine is a pop culture rag: it has not been a bastion of the true spirit of rock, if it ever was, and whatever that is, for decades), are winning – a nd accepting – mainstream acclaim in the form of Grammy awards, and are distributed by a m ajor label (Warner music, in the case of the band’s most recent release). This carries over into the

next reason to hate Nickelback, namely that they are “inauthentic.” This is a n ongoing bugbear for musicians, listeners and critics alike: some music is “ real” and “pure,” while other music is “manufactured” and “fake.” Nickelback is commonly accused of writing music that is pa infully generic and formulaic. Well, that criticism neatly enfolds virtually all pop music, and many if not most rock, rap, hip-hop, folk, country, and jazz artists, for that matter. Nickelback is formulaic, but a celebrated leviathan of rock like AC/DC isn’t? Hasn’t U2 – arguably the most popular band in the world – e ssentially been writing and hawking the same song, over and over, for about 20 years? T here’s a reason why people love rock and pop music: to borrow a turn of phrase from a famous U.S. president, it’s the formula, stupid. Why else hate Nickelback? The music is d umb: predictable and repetitive harmonic structures, misogynistic lyrics and shout-along anthemic choruses, cringingly trite power ballads, and so o n. T his is, o f course, unlike most other rock bands, whose songs are thrillinglyunpredictable amalgams of the same three chords and whose lyrics run the gamut of high culture talking points and male sensitivity. I n pop and rock music, “dumb” and “misogynistic” has never unequivocally meant “bad.” If it did, we’d be throwing a lot of contemporary music into the trash bin alongside Nickelback. In the end, the mass hatred of Nickelback reminds me of another recent mass movement, namely the “Occupy” protests. In each case, I d on’t have a go od sense of what all the fuss is about; more importantly, it seems to me, neither do many of those doing the protesting. Don’t get me wrong: I am not a Nickelback fan. I rega rd “Nickelblock” as a c ruel stroke of genius; moreover, I a m confident that all five of the group’s albums play continuously over loudspeakers in the fiery pits of Hell. But, I’m also quite certain that Nickelback’s tunes are not alone down there; rather, they are in good company, set on “shuffle” along with a vast and ever-expanding infernal rogue’s gallery of musical crap.

“Money isn’t smart. People are.”

Dave Mowat, CEO

I have no idea what “smart money” means, but I do know what “smart people” means. It means heart balanced with brains, passion merged with reason—like the people who work at ATB. Smart people coming together is where real creative solutions come from. Seriously, it’s who we look for, because it’s exactly what Alberta needs. If you’re one— or you want your banking handled by one—drop me a line. davemowat@atb.com

World Jr. Hockey sets attendance record By Murray Green

Pro Sports Photograpjhy The women's Augustana Vikings basketball team is battling for a playoff spot in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. On Jan. 14, the Vikings breezed by the Briercrest Clippers in Camrose. The Vikings host one of the best clubs in the league in the Mount Royal Cougars on Jan. 28 at 6 p.m.

Alberta has set a new attendance record for the International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship, attracting 571,539 fans from across Canada and around the world to Calgary and Edmonton from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5, an average of 18,437 people per game. The total surpasses the previous tournament record of 453,282 set in 2009 in Ottawa. In addition to the 31 games in Calgary and Edmonton, junior hockey fans across the province witnessed international hockey through the pre-competition schedule, which included games in nine communi-

ties. Team USA and Switzerland played in Camrose on Dec. 21 in the EnCana Arena. “As a host committee, we truly believe taking games across the province really started the momentum,” said Al Coates, executive director of the 2012 World Junior Championship. “This event began with the slogan Alberta United, and the great fans from across the province supported not only Team Canada, but all 10 competing countries.” Camrose Minor Hockey players participated in the Discovery Hockey experiences and on-ice skills camps designed so

that all Canadians would be able to say, "I Was There." “Hockey Canada’s success in hosting events can be attributed to a number of key stakeholders,” said Hockey Canada president and CEO Bob Nicholson. “It starts with a relentless host committee, which empowered more than a thousand volunteers to bring the event to life. It is t he fan experience that makes the World Juniors so s pecial for every Canadian.” The International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship will return to Canada in 2015.

Bandits steal another two points from Kodiaks By Murray Green

The home team Camrose Kodiaks were crushed by the first place Brooks Bandits 5-1 on Sunday, January 15. Brooks scored two goals in the first period before Luc Vandale cut the lead in half early in the second frame. Then the Bandits stole the show by out- shooting the Kodiaks 15-5 in the second and 37-20 over all. "We have to prepare better for Brooks. They are a good team and they are not just going to give it (two points) to you," said Cody Pon-

gracz. "We have to work for everything and create our own chances, our own bounces and our own luck. It all begins with playing well in our own zone and it will lead to chances at the other end." Goalie Matt Gibney stopped 32 of 37 shots for Camrose. The Kodiaks failed to take advantage of power play situations by going zero for eight with the extra man. The Kodiaks were edged 3-2 in a shootout by the Okotoks Oilers on Jan. 14. Cody missed his chance to score in the shootout and would have liked his opportunity

back again. "I would have tried a different move. I sh ot it right in his glove. It was unfortunate because we played a really good game for about 45 minutes and we would have liked a couple of those breakdown plays to do over again as well." Joel Johnson opened the scoring for Camrose, but the Oilers came back to tie it prior to the period ending. Nelson Gadoury gave the bear the lead back just 21 seconds into the middle period on a power play. However, Okotoks netted the equalizer 33 seconds

into the third to force a tight third period and overtime. Netminder Brayden Hopfe stopped 29 of 31 shots in the game. "We need to back check a little better and pick our man sooner," added Cody. "We back check hard, but sometimes we don't pick up the right guy or two checkers go for the same player." The Lloydminster Bobcats clawed their way to a 5 -4 victory over Camrose in the Border City, Jan. 11. "We had a f ew mental breakdowns in the d-zone and we have been working on tightening

up defensively," said Cody. "We are coming up to playoff time and we have to bare down to not make those mistakes." Newly acquired defenceman Josh Smith made an impact right away with two goals. "The three new players are great guys. We are going over a f ew things to make sure they are on the same pages as we are. Smith has had three points in three games and has been playing great for us." Jonathan Lashyn and Landon Kadatz garnered the other tallies for the Kodiaks.

In loving memory of

Corinne Ann Snider who passed away on January 16, 2005 In my heart, your memory lingers, Always tender, fond and true; There’s not a day, dear wife, I do not think of you. Ever remembered, love from Leroy, Leanne, Brian Snider

How do I say t hank you to the so very many friends and family members who have come a longside me t o help me t hrough this incredible journey of g rief in losing my soulmate and the love of my life – my husband, Neil Hansen. Words just don’t seem adequate, and I struggle to even know where to begin. Just know that while this paper has neither enough ink nor space for me to name everyone, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and deepest appreciation for all of you. Though the days following it are a blur, the morning of Neil’s passing will be etched in my heart and mind forevermore, as will the following people who I feel I must give a special thank you. From the bottom of my heart, I say “thank you” to: Ron and Vivian Grue for coming over the “moment” I needed you. Rick and Valerie Larter for coming over the “moment” I needed you. And to all four of you for being with me as I hugged Neil one last time. To the ambulance attendants and Cst. T. A. Cleveland (RCMP) as well as Burgar Funeral Home who were so gracious and patient with me as I continued lying in bed holding my husband. To Pastor Jason Siemens for appearing at my door in the blink of an eye. To Jeremy Osterwalder and Pastor Mark for bringing out communion and sharing fellowship that afternoon. To Brenda (from Atlanta, Georgia) who arrived just when I needed her. To Alex and Trina for picking Brenda up. To my son Jason and daughter-in-law Kelsey for picking up my Mom from the airport and for just being there. To my Mom for still being here for me. To my god-daughter Melanie for bringing me her son Eliv to hold. To Wallace Lehman who showed up with Tim’s coffee for me and Neil, having no idea what had just happened. To Ted and Louise Gillespie and our neighbours who really aren’t neighbours, but wonderful friends. I’d also like to say a special ‘thank you’: To Rhodelle Taylor and Karen Jans (chemo clinic) who treated Neil and blessed us both with hugs each time we were there, as well as Janice Throndson and our special angel Celine Tritten (heart clinic). To Kimberley for your thoughtfulness and especially the video picture frame. To Roxy for 35 years of friendship and support. To all of you beautiful people who blessed me with baking, meals, flowers, cards, phone calls, emails, gifts, and most especially love. To A-1 Catering and The Lefse House as well as our Aguanga Family in California. To Rick Larter, David Hagen and Lowell Befus for being “Brothers in Arms” with Neil. To my beautiful stepdaughters, Lori and Cathy, who truly are ‘daughters’ to me. I t hank you both for all of your help while you were and are in the midst of your own grief. And last but not least, thank you to our wonderful church family at C hrist Centered Fellowship Church. Neil was a wonderful man that I thanked God for daily. I was so proud to be his wife. Our marriage became a true blessing from God when, on our eighth anniversary, we both invited Jesus Christ in to be the center of our lives and were baptized. Several months later, on the eve of the new millennium, I tried to articulate what I wanted for our new Christ-centered relationship in this prayer for Neil. I tried with all my heart to be a good wife and, in return, God granted me an incredible marriage with an incredible husband. Another answered prayer for which there is only One to thank – Je sus Christ, our Lord and Savior. If you don’t have Jesus at the center of your life, invite Him in today. If you don’t have Him at the center of your marriage, invite Him. It makes ALL the difference in the world. “Lord, help me t o be a g ood wife. I f ully realize that I do n’t have w hat it takes to be one without Your help. Take my selfishness, impatience, and irritability and turn them into kindness and the willingness to bear all things. Take away my protective stance and make me patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled. Take the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with Your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me Your love, peace and joy. “Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with regard to my husband. I confess the times I’ve been unloving, critical or disrespectful toward him. Make me my husband’s helpmate, companion, champion, friend and support. Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to. Make me the kind of wife he can be proud to say is his wife. “Teach me to pray for my husband and make my prayers a true language of love. Bring unity between us so that we can be in agreement about everything. May the God of patience and comfort grant us to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus. Make us a team, not pursuing separate or independent lives, but working together, overlooking each others’ faults and weaknesses for the good of the marriage. “I pray that our commitment to You and to one another will grow stronger and more passionate each day. Enable Neil to be the head of the home as You made him to be, and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that place of leadership. Breathe Your life into this marriage. As this is a New Year, make me a new person. Help me to see him with new eyes, new appreciation, new love, new compassion, and new acceptance. Give my husband a new wife in me. “Thank you, God, for Neil. I love him with a love that brings me to my knees. I look forward to the new millennium, to the rest of my life with him. Amen” Neil and I ha d a wo nderful life together. Thank you, Jesus, for walking with me a nd sending angels disguised as friends during this time of great grief. But, most of all, thank you for the hope we have in You; for I know that I will one day see my precious Neil again and we shall both fall to our knees in praise of You. Thank you for Neil … past, present and future. – Denny Hansen (a.k.a. Neil’s Shnooky)

Buick Regal An unforgettable driving experience

Graeme Davidson McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet By Dan Jensen

You'll find a lot to like about the 2012 Buick Regal at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC Camrose. The 2011 Buick Regal takes the successful foundation of its European sibling, the Opel Insignia, and adapts it for North American roads and driver preferences. It also builds on the momentum generated by the recent award-winning launches of the Buick Enclave and LaCrosse. "It has been shaking up some outdated notions, not only of the sport sedan but also of Buick," said McClellan Wheaton sales manager Dennis Polei. "It has undeniable style, a top-notch interior, a refined ride and a rewarding turn of speed. " Sleek design

The fluid, aerodynamic shape of the Buick Regal was refined with more than 650 hours in the wind tunnel. But there is much more to the Regal than its wind-cheating abilities. The lines are strong and the contours sculpted. And the design's clear sense of purpose is echoed by equally rigorous craftsmanship. It can be seen in the remarkably tight and consistent connection between interior trim panels and exterior body panels. Nice balance

Today, power must be complemented by fuel efficiency. To keep you ahead of the curve, Regal employs the latest in engine technology. Regal CXL is powered by a 2.4 litre ECOTEC engine that features Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing to produce an enviable balance of torque and horsepower. Output is 182 horsepower, while the highway fuel consumption rating is an impressive 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres. The six-speed automatic transmission heightens the sense of engagement with Driver Shift Control that lets you tap up or down – shifting gears like a manual. The 2.0 litre ECOTEC turbocharged and intercooled engine on Regal CXL generates 220 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Its dual-scroll turbo technology represents a marvel of engineering, with dual exhaust passages that funnel gas into turbine impellers that rotate up to 162,000 times per minute. The result is up to 1.4 bar (20 psi) of boost that helps generate peak torque at just 2,000 rpm,

ing of the shocks based on driving conditions. Tour mode is the ideal setting for long highway drives. It assists in absorbing bumps caused by uneven road surfaces, minimizing the effects felt inside the cabin. Sport mode provides sharper, speed-sensitive steering response, quicker throttle action and crisper transmission shifting. The ride is stiffer and the handling is tighter, for a more authoritative command of the road. The system even senses when you are driving more assertively and automatically shifts into the Sport mode. Comfort

translating into phenomenal acceleration. And the fuel efficiency is a revelation for a car with these performance credentials. Precision handling

The chassis, suspension, braking, StabiliTrak electronic stability control system and full-function traction control define the way Regal feels and handles. The standard MacPherson struts work with other chassis components to optimize both body and wheel control, while also contributing to Regal's European-tuned ride characteristics and stable braking. Variableeffort steering, standard on CXL Turbo, automatically reduces hydraulic assistance at higher speeds to help increase your steering feel. At city speeds, more assist is provided for easier manoeuvrability. Four-link independent rear suspension specifically contributes to exceptional ride tracking characteristics, even on rough surfaces, while enhancing driveability. StabiliTrak and Full Function Traction Control, in conjunction with four-wheel ABS, help maintain optimal traction and steering control over a wide range of driving conditions, including under hard braking and on most slippery surfaces. Driving styles

Regal CXL Turbo's Interactive Drive Control System enables you to choose between three driving modes: Normal, Tour and Sport. Normal is ideal for city driving and daily commuting. The shock absorbers read the road up to 500 times per second and automatically adjust the damp-

All passengers get to enjoy the rich luxurious comfort provided by the leather-appointed seating, with Frenchstitched seams. For added comfort, the driver and front passenger seats are heated. And for the height of convenience – h ow about a w indshield humidity sensor that activates the defogger automatically when moisture is detected. Regal's concept of an interactive driving experience extends far beyond the bond between driver and machine. It also applies to the plethora of electronic entertainment, communication and information technology on board, from standard Bluetooth connectivity to the available voice-activated Navigation System and command centre. Tell the Navigation System where you are going and it will tell you how best to get there. The command centre enables you to select between navigation, phone or audio menus. Included in the system is a 40 GB hard drive that not only runs the Navigation System, but can also store thousands of tunes. It also allows you to pause and replay live radio and hear up to 20 minutes of previously recorded programming. Safety

Regal's Body Frame Integral structure uses highstrength steel in strategic locations and side-impact protection beams to provide added passenger compartment protection. Regal goes above and beyond with innovations like double-pretensioned front safety belts and a patented Pedal Release System. In addition, rear outboard seatmounted thorax air bags are available. And every Regal includes OnStar's Automatic Crash Response that alerts an advisor to call for help – even if you can't.

You can see the Buick Regal when you visit McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC. Phone 780-672-0123 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Milton Schlosser recital at Augustana Feb. 3 On Friday, Feb. 3, UAlberta piano professor Milton Schlosser will perform an eclectic mix of piano pieces that highlights him as an artist with diverse interests – from the traditional to the contemporary. T he solo piano recital begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Augustana Campus chapel, with tickets available at the door. The recital is part of a tour that takes Schlosser to Vancouver and Grande Prairie as well. The recital begins with two shorter works, the first entitled Largo, composed for Schlosser by Camrosian James Neff. T he second work is the famous Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, originally

composed by J.S. Bach and transcribed by noted pianist Dame Myra Hess. These will be followed by Frédéric Chopin’s melodic Ballade in F Major, Opus 38, and Ludwig van Beethoven’s rousing Appassionata Sonata, Opus 57. The second half of the recital begins with a 1 0-minute work written for Schlosser by UAlberta Augustana Campus alumnus and Métis composer, Nicholas Howell. The work was premiered last fall in Camrose and Canmore as well as internationally by Schlosser at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo. Crowfoot is a composition that is based upon some of the last words attrib-

uted to Chief Crowfoot, one of the great figures within aboriginal and Canadian histories. It requires the pianist to play the piano as well as speak, chant, and play a foot drum. The program concludes with two of Edvard Grieg’s most famous pieces, Notturno and Wedding Day at Troldhaugen, as well as two of Franz Liszt’s most celebrated pieces, his transcription of Schumann’s Widmung and the Sixth Hungarian Rhapsody. Schlosser is an award-winning professor and pianist at the University of Alberta. In 2007, he received a McCalla Professorship for his significant contributions

to research, teaching, and learning. He has been described as a pianist who "proves himself to be as sympathetic an accompanist as he is a stylish and feeling soloist" (The Vancouver Sun). He has released four recordings. In addition to his activities as a performer, he is engaged in music education research. In November 2011, his article Minding the music: Neuroscience, video recording, and the pianist was published in the International Journal of Music Education. For more information on the performer, including his recent tour to Japan, see www.miltonschlosser.com

Premier responds to U.S. decision on Keystone XL Premier Alison Redford issued the following statement in response to the U.S. State Department’s decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. “I am extremely disappointed with today’s decision by the State Department to reject the Keystone XL pipeline application. We believe the project provides the United States with energy security and thousands of job opportunities. Today’s decision does not mean that America will consume one less barrel of oil. What it means is t his: America will continue to import oil from jurisdictions with much weaker environmental policies and who do not share the same values as Canadians and Americans. Alberta has always considered the U.S. our strongest and most important trading partner. The State Department’s decision strengthens our resolve to pursue access to alternative markets. Today’s decision also reinforces the need for a C anadian energy strategy and why Alberta must focus on market diversification with a clear aim to Asia-Pacific. I have discussed this issue with the Prime Minister on many occasions and we continue to be in constant communication with him.”

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday Helpful Tips for Writing Classiﬁed Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, b ut don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so y ou want to include all the important basics. Don’t use str ange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the w ord, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s ﬁner points may bring in a lot of responses , but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a pr ice also ser ves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential b uyers. Be sure to state the hours y ou can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the ﬁrst time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with an y questions or prob lems you may have regarding adv ertising. Our professionally trained sales staff kno w the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to y ou. That’s why we’re here, to help y ou get the results you deserve.

Doyle Cup replaced Now Hiring ~ next year Automotive Sales Consultant with five We need an individual who: • is enthusiastic and self-motivated team set • has long-term goals By Murray Green

Say good-bye to the Doyle Cup playoffs between the top team in the Alberta Junior Hockey League and the best British Columbia Junior Hockey League squad after this spring. Beginning in 2013, the playoffs will be replaced by a fiveteam Western Canadian Championship. Nanaimo, B.C., will be the first community to host the inaugural event. A club from each of the four western provinces will battle in a five-team tournament to crown the first-ever Western Canadian Champion. The host team will round out the cast. The 13-game tournament will include a round-robin schedule, followed by two semifinal games and a c hampionship game. The schedule will be similar to the RBC Cup. T he Western Canadian Champion and the runner-up will both represent Western Canada at the National Junior A Championship. "Congratulations to the four western leagues on this significant step in the growth of Junior A hockey in Western Canada and across the country,” said CJHL chairman Kirk Lamb. “The new championship format will create a tremendous opportunity to showcase our players, teams and communities and is y et another example of the strengthening relationship among Junior A leagues in Canada. I c ommend the four western leagues on partnering together in the development of this initiative.” The Alberta Junior Hockey League approved the format at its semi-annual meeting in Red Deer on Saturday, January 14. The 2013 Western Canadian Championship will be held from April 26 to May 5. T he Western Canadian Championship will be hosted by the BCHL in 2013, followed by the MJHL in 2014, AJHL in 2015 and the SJHL in 2016. A si te selection committee will be responsible for selecting a host team annually, upon the recommendation of the host league. The AJHL development committee is still evaluating the reduction of team rosters, age restrictions within team rosters, and the league playoff format. Recommendations are expected at the annual meeting in May. This year's playoffs will begin on February 24th in the south division and February 25th in the north. Each division will play off to determine a divisional champion at the conclusion of the third round. The division champions will then compete in the league final. The league will launch an online network at the start of next season. The AJHL Network will be the first in Junior A hockey, and will include 16 team web sites and one league web site. All 17 web sites will be redesigned with a fresh look, new content, league-wide integration and improved navigation.
