Each of us at McClellan Wheaton GM wish Virginia Rogers all the best as she retires from her role as our dealership’s controller, a position she has held for 28 years. Since Virginia began her career with General Motors in Camrose back in March 1986, she has witnessed many, many changes. She has seen numerous expansions and three different ownerships. Under her tireless leadership, each transition has been absolutely seamless for our administration team. Virginia has been instrumental to the success of the dealership for nearly three decades.
To say that Virginia has continually performed well above and beyond the call of duty would be a vast understatement. From the beginning, she has coordinated and planned virtually every special function we’ve held – from staff parties to charity fundraisers. While others struggled to adjust to the emerging digital age, once again Virginia not only proved her ability to quickly adapt, but also became our in-office computer technician and troubleshooter. Virginia, you’ve touched our lives in immeasurable ways. Customers and co-workers alike have benefitted from your unwavering dedication to your career, and your kind heart. Know that you have left your mark on the dealership, as we have all learned by your example and strive to meet the standards of excellence you have set. We’ll miss you! For the time you’ve spent, for the commitments you’ve fulfilled, and for your friendship, we thank you. All the best to you and your husband Don as you enter into this next phase of your lives together. Congratulations! Will McClellan, Managing Partner
Please join us for coffee and cake as we wish Virginia a happy retirement!

Students request school board open discussions on AP 360 By Dan Jensen
Students from Central High School in Sedgewick are asking for more discussions over Battle River School Division’s administrative procedure 360. “We are tired of constantly having to complain and send letters over and over to see even the slightest response,” said Central High Grade 12 student Brooklyn Mazure in a presentation to the Battle River School Division board of trustees Feb. 13. “We want to see more effort put in and want this discussion to be opened up. This should be an ongoing discussion as we feel it has not reached a conclusion and that our frustrations have been swept under the rug. We are unsure of how the burden of this new system was thrust upon us in our most crucial and important year of education.” Emphasis on cognition
Administrative procedure 360 (student assessment) places more emphasis on higher levels of cognition than lower levels of learning and rote learning. Evidence of learning, formative and summative, is recorded on a regular basis using a meaningful system of data, such as symbols, numbers colours or categories. Summative assessment weightings are determined by teacher professional judgment and communicated to students. Grades are calculated cumulatively (i.e., each report card represents a cumulative calcula-
tion from the beginning of the course to the end of the current reporting period, with teacher professional judgment used to determine and adjust item weightings. “Our assessment procedure was constructed with an expectation of students being accountable to provide evidence of learning,” said BRSD superintendent Dr. Larry Payne in a letter to the editor of The Camrose Booster last spring. The method of assessment has been used in BRSD schools for nearly a decade, moving forward in stages. It was first implemented in elementary, then junior high, and then high school last year. It is not mandatory at the high school level, since each school is allowed to make its own decisions about whether or not it is ready to make the transition, so it will not necessarily be in all BRSD schools this fall. There is no set final deadline for implementation in high schools. Creating problems
Morgan Brausen, a classmate of Mazure, told the board that the broad levels of achievement with the new assessment procedure are creating laziness in the classroom. “Now students have ample amounts of time to finish assignments and there are no consequences for late assignments. We feel that not only is this unfair but it is also teaching students that they can get through life without being held accountable for their actions.” Continued on page 12
USING NEW TECHNOLOGY
Jack Stuart School Grade 3 students used their Google Chromebooks to demonstrate to the Battle River School Division board of trustees Feb. 13 how they use the latest technology to work together on documents, prepare presentations and create drawings. Payton MacDonald (above) showed BRSD board chair Kendall Severson how she is able to access information about the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Sorenson happy with new federal budget By Dan Jensen
The federal government did as promised in the 2014 budget introduced by Finance Minister Flaherty last week. “It is exactly what we said it would be,” said Minister of State for Finance and Crowfoot constituency member of parliament Kevin Sorenson. “We said it would be a job creating budget, that it would bring forth measures that would help with growth in our economy and that it would bring us closer to a balanced budget in 2015.” The budget projects that the deficit will decline to $2.9 billion in 2014-15 after taking into account a $3 billion annual adjustment for risk, and that the federal treasury will have a surplus of $6.4 billion by 201516, again after taking into account a $3 billion annual adjustment for risk. The surplus is expected to grow to $10.3 billion by the year 2020. “When we travelled around the country we
heard from moms and dads, academics and businesses about the importance of balancing the budget and keeping the taxes down,” said Sorenson. Initiatives in the budget that will support jobs and growth include a Canada Job Grant and enhanced Job Matching Service, a reform of the on-reserve education system in partnership with First Nations through the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act, and the introduction of a new Canada Apprenticeship Loan to help registered apprentices in Red Seal trades with the cost of training. “Never before have those entering the trades been able to access interest free student loans,” said Sorenson. “Now, with the apprenticeship program they will be able to go back and access up to $100 million in interest free student loans.” Students who have the skills and the desire, but no experience will benefit from government funding of
3,000 internships in highpaying industries. “The students will be able to get the experience they need and possibly be hired by those businesses,” said Sorenson. “If not they will be able to put on their resumes that they have worked at one of those industries.” The budget supports families and communities by increasing the adoption expenses tax credit to help make adoption more affordable, expanding tax relief for health care by exempting acupuncturists’ and naturopathic doctors’ professional services from the Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax, and allocating $305 million over the next two years to expand broadband infrastructure to rural communities. “That (broadband infrastructure) was one thing I was able to fight for in this budget,” said Sorenson. “I know in Camrose and in some of the towns we have high speed internet, but once you get into the rural areas
they don’t have that high speed broadband. Ninetyeight per cent of Canada should now be covered with high speed internet.” Sorenson said the federal government has an extremely good record when it comes to infrastructure spending. “Federal governments have never entered into the type of infrastructure spending that we have. We have been involved with Anthony Henday in Edmonton, the ring road in Calgary and projects all across the Crowfoot riding. I know today the prime minister is laying out the parameters for the new Building Canada Plan which runs out in March. He wants to make certain that there is major funding for Canadian infrastructure once again.” A new search and rescue volunteers’ tax credit will recognize the important role played by search and rescue volunteers who put themselves at risk while contributing to the safety and security of Canadians.
Other items of note in the budget are now new taxes on Canadian families and business, promised legislation requiring the minister of finance to table in parliament annually a list of the government’s outstanding tax measures, and the introduction of measures to encourage charitable giving. Sorenson will be spending the next few weeks telling Canadians what the budget has for them. “I will be speaking to the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce tomorrow (Feb. 14), then I fly off to Vancouver and Richmond, B.C., and Saskatoon before going home for the weekend,” said Sorenson. “All throughout this process I have been right across Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.” The budget received a good review from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which said the measures announced will help Canadian businesses prosper and compete.

“We have urged the government to focus on where Canada needs to be in five to 10 years, even if it means making tough decisions now,” said Canadian Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Perrin Beatty. “The government has acted on some of the key elements of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce’s Top 10 initiative for restoring Canada’s competitiveness. The result will be a much stronger economy and more jobs.” The Canadian Chamber particularly welcomes the money for major infrastructure projects. “Nobody cuts a ribbon when a new sewer pipe is installed – it’s just not a dramatic moment,” said Beatty. “But thousands of Canadians idling in their cars because of traffic congestion or bridge delays can tell us what investments in infrastructure can mean to our quality of life and productivity.” The budget received a silver star medal from the Canadian Professional Accountants of Canada. “The desired balanced budget serves as a beacon guiding the government with

NDP MP Linda Duncan (Edmonton Strathcona) said there is little in the budget to support a more diversified economy, and nothing significant to address youth unemployment. “It is particularly disappointing that there’s no targeted money for municipal

Growing Rural Tourism Conference to be held in March By Murray Green
The 14th annual Growing Rural Tourism Conference has grown with the industry over the years. Tourism in Alberta is the third largest industry, behind oil and gas and agriculture. The March 3 to 5 conference initiative was started by the Camrose Regional Exhibition, Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and Travel Alberta. It is estimated that there
are currently 150,000 fulltime, part-time and seasonal jobs in tourism. “While this is a very positive position for the industry, the benefits generated by the industry have been traditionally accrued by locations on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, and by the major cities of Alberta,” said Jennifer Filip of the CRE. “Few of these benefits have been realized by the rural communities that populate the rest of Alberta.”
CANSKATE SKATE-A-THON
The Camrose Skating Club’s CanSkate program held its second skate-a-thon of the year at Border Paving Arena Feb. 13 to raise funds for ice and coaching fees and generally reduce the cost of the program. Joining instructors Alicia Stone, back left, and Emily Grose were left to right Tucker Koch, Madden Cleveland and Danica Kuchnerek. Skaters received a sticker for every lap they completed and afterwards had the opportunity to enjoy hot chocolate and Tim Bits.
Bawlf fills council slate By Justin Brattinga The Camrose Booster
The Bawlf village council is complete once again. With the recent by-election, the two vacant seats have been filled, and they can work towards bettering their community. After several months of carrying out the work of five people with three, there can now be efficient and quick work done for the people of Bawlf. Elections are an integral part of living in a community, and as such this was a big part of ensuring that the community is properly taken care of. From the three candidates for the two positions, David Genio and Bruce Wells were elected to fill the open slots. “Thank you, Paul Lorente, for allowing your name to stand and for all who voted. Next, news is we have hired a new chief administrative officer (CAO), in the person of Kaylyn Genio, whose first day in the office was Feb. 3. Kaylyn has been studying to augment the experience she has in her pursuit of making CAO her career. That will continue and, along with the help of other CAOs and municipal affairs, she will very capably round out our team of council and staff,” said Mayor John Tessari, and councillors Leonard Thompson and Ryan Mohan. With both a full complement of councillors and support staff, the process of eliminating the backlog of work that existed previously, getting back on track with what they already have on their list, can begin. Following that chore, they can then begin facing the challenges that rise over time in small communities like Bawlf. Infrastructure issues such as keeping roads and alleys clear, as well as garbage collection, are just some of the issues that currently face the village. Following this, they will be establishing a budget at the end of May.
Rural communities in Alberta and across Canada have begun looking towards tourism as a viable industry to diversify their local economies. “The Growing Rural Tourism Conference brings together groups who have embraced innovative tourism strategies and partnerships, and those looking at how they might bring new sources of revenue and employment to their own communities,” said Jennifer.
Rural Tourism experts and participants from a broad cross-section will share successes, challenges, and ideas for future growth at the conference. “Comments from last year’s participants indicated that the conference was a powerful tool in initiating strategic tourism planning,” said Jennifer. “Alberta Shows Off is an opportunity to present and share your product with all conference delegates.”
This year’s conference includes inspiring keynote presentations, concurrent sessions, delicious meals, an evening gala and presentation of the Rural Tourism Champion Award, entertainment, and an opportunity to network with fellow tourism industry representatives and operators.

Two-eyed seeing
Recently, my two close colleagues and I have been pondering how to best explain to Environment Canada the reasoning behind, and success of, the unique four-year “Integrative Science” degree program at Cape Breton University (CBU) that integrates Indigenous knowledge and Western science. “The foundational basis for any relationship is an exchange of stories,” says one of my colleagues, Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall. Albert coined the phrase as a guiding principle years ago and it has now been picked up across Canada by organizations and individuals interested in transcultural collaboration, many of whom are asking to hear more. Albert indicates that Two-Eyed Seeing refers to a traditional Mi’kmaq understanding about the gift of multiple perspectives – a gift treasured by many Indigenous peoples. In Mi’kmaq, this is “Etuaptmumk”. For our current times, he explains that Two-Eyed Seeing refers to learning to see from one eye with the strengths of, or the best in, the Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing, and from the other eye learning to see with the strengths of, or the best in, the Western (mainstream) knowledge and ways of knowing. Most important is learning to use both these eyes together, for the benefit of all. Humans are storytellers and science is story. It can be viewed as dynamic, pattern-based knowledge shared through stories about our interactions with and within nature. Our science stories are, however, told very differently depending upon who we are, where we are, and where we were because we are influenced by our culture and education. Both bring sanctioned perspectives, intelligences, or ways of knowing. Mainstream science prides itself in stories told in a rigorous manner using the language of mathematics, emphasizing hypotheses, and producing publicly available theories and models – it is a systematic way
Second Thought
Dr. Cheryl Bartlett, Biology, Canada Research Chair in Integrative Science and Director of the Institute for Integrative Science & Health, Cape Breton University, Sydney, NS.
of knowing that excludes the personal stories behind and within its public stories. Science within traditional Indigenous world views looks to tell stories rich with vigour using the language of the tribal nation, emphasizing relationship, responsibility, reciprocity, and reverence while on one’s personal journey within past-presentfuture of community-lifeland-love – it is a dynamic way of knowing that interweaves personal within kinship extending to all. Albert, who is the designated voice on environmental issues for the Elders in Unama’ki and who holds an Honorary Doctorate from Cape Breton University, has immense concerns that many of our human actions today have the potential to disrupt the ecological integrity of Mother Earth. He encourages people to understand that our stories show how we value and share the world – indeed, our stories become us. He passionately suggests that we need to “to hear the stories from cultures other than the mainstream” and recognize, as the Mi’kmaq people were taught, that nothing is black and white. My other colleague, Elder Murdena, a retired Associate Professor of Mi’kmaq Studies at CBU, says, with respect to the collective tribal consciousness of the Mikmaq people:
“We are, therefore I am” and agrees that yes, one could add “I am, therefore I participate; I participate, therefore we are”. Compare that with the saying often tied to the name René Descartes: “I think, therefore I am”. Current research in neuroscience suggests Elder Murdena and the Mi’kmaq people have the richer grasp on how our brain-mind works: relationship is essential. While retired, I continue to work with Albert and Murdena to share, explain, and advocate TwoEyed Seeing as a guiding principle for transcultural and transdisciplinary science education, research, application, and outreach. I believe passionately in what the Integrative Science academic program at CBU represents and has achieved. I know the lives of many people have changed for the better as a result of hearing about these innovative ways of understanding, collaborating, and co-learning. I have come to understand that from my one eye within Two-Eyed Seeing some science stories must be told in mandatory third person, the language of “it” that characterizes mainstream science. But from my other eye within Two-Eyed Seeing my science stories need and want to be told in first person, the language of “I”. I believe the lessons learned at CBU can and should be shared for the benefit of post-secondary institutions elsewhere or other organizations that might be considering similar transcultural initiatives. I emphasize the need for on-going, meaningful, and participatory networking among university and community; i.e., that the foundational basis for any enduring relationship has to be an on-going exchange of stories. We participate, we dialogue, therefore, we can and will co-learn. Together. Please join Dr. Bartlett for a Free Public Lecture, titled “Science in Story”, on Tuesday, Feb 25, noon to 1 p.m. Lunch provided for those who register with trina.harrison@ualberta.ca or 780.679.1105.

Brausen also noted that many students are unsure of where they truly stand when they are assessed at developing, achieving or excelling. “Each achievement level is a range of 16 per cent and the beginning level has a range of 50 per cent. This causes everyone to be clumped together and also results in no one knowing exactly where they stand.” Karli Grove, a third high school presenter, said she fails to see how the new assessment system is more accurate than the old one. “The traditional percentage system was split into 100 but now teachers have just four categories to choose from. This seems to make our grades much more vague rather than accurate. We believe that AP 360 is setting us up for failure. We are not receiving our true marks, but instead marks that are way inflated or possibly deflated by this system. Neither result is a good outcome.” Percentages not being eliminated
BRSD has indicated it will not be going away from percentages at the high school level. “Percentages are an Alberta Education requirement,” said Dr. Payne in his letter. “In addition to receiving a percentage mark at the end of a course, students will receive percentages on a midterm report card and at any other time upon request.” Dr. Payne discounted concerns that the high school students won’t receive “real” percentages or that the method of calculation is inaccurate. “We know,” said Dr. Payne, “that the marks BRSD high school students receive will, in fact, be a more accurate reflection of their learning.” Dr. Payne suggested the way the BRSD assesses will provide more information to assist aspiring youth to master curriculum and be well
prepared for whatever path they choose. “Students expect and deserve the highest quality of education to ensure competitiveness in entering postsecondary institutions or the world of work. Students are receiving the same high quality of education they are accustomed to, and as the school division learns and grows, so does the calibre of student learning.” Concerns taken seriously
BRSD board chair Kendall Severson said the board of trustees is taking the concerns of the students seriously and is gathering information from all different parties. “We are going to continue to learn about AP 360 as we go forward. We want to ensure that all members of the board fully understand it.” Severson expressed concern about the suggestion that the new system is encouraging laziness in the classroom and that students could get a mark that they don’t really deserve. “Our history has always been to reward students. I am hoping that students strive to do their best at all times, because it is still, ultimately, a graded mark at the end.” BRSD trustee for Flagstaff East Laurie Skori said she wants the board to address the students’ concerns. “We need to educate ourselves about AP 360 and talk to the students. The girls (here today) have some really good ideas about where we can go to see what is happening and why.” Skori said she is open to the suggestion that the board go into the schools to talk to the students personally. “I think that is something that is really important. We need to hear from everyone and see what is going on.”

BRSD appoints acting superintendent The Battle River School Division board of trustees has appointed an acting superintendent, to fill the gap created by the continuing absence of Dr. Larry Payne, who is away on leave. Mr. Jamie McNamara, recently retired as superintendent of St. Thomas Aquinas Roman Catholic schools in Leduc, has taken on the role of acting superintendent until further notice. His appointment was effective Feb. 14. Students present to board The BRSD board of Trustees welcomed two distinct groups of students to their meeting on Feb. 13. The first visit was from a group of eight students in Grade 3, who brought their Chromebook computers along and provided a bit of “inservice” training to board members, demonstrating oneon-one the ways in which they can work together on documents, prepare presentations and create drawings using the latest technology. The second visit was from a group of four Grade 12 students who wanted to express their concerns directly to the board about the system BRSD uses to assess student learning. The speakers were accompanied by a group of parents and community members who also invited both local and provincial media outlets to join them at division office for the presentation. BRSD is a safety conscious organization Battle River School
Division has recently undergone an intensive external safety audit, as part of the process of applying for Certificate of Recognition (COR) status through the Workers’ Compensation Board. The school division was recently awarded a three-year certificate, in recognition of the strong emphasis on creating and maintaining safe work environments. That’s good news for employees, but also good news financially, as maintaining COR status will result in a reduction in WCB premiums. Come and visit at the Trade Show March 14 to 16 Trustees from Battle River School Division will be manning a booth at the Camrose Trade Fair, held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition from March 14 to 16.

Colborne excited about sweater retirement By Murray Green
Joe Colborne has to pinch himself every once in a while to make sure it isn’t a dream. Like most Canadian hockey players he dreamed of playing in the National Hockey League one day. The Calgary Flames player had his Camrose Kodiaks jersey retired on Feb. 14 prior to the game against the Spruce Grove Saints. “It’s such an honour. I was honoured just to play for the Kodiaks and now to have my jersey retired is something I never dreamed of happening. I’m so exciting they are doing this for me,” said Joe. It is a long ways from playing bantam hockey in Calgary. “Our family is friends with the Bertram family. When Dan was playing here his dad said you have to check out the Kodiaks. He said it is incredible because they have the best coaching staff and great support from the community. I met Boris (coach Rybalka) and as soon as you meet him you realize the hockey passion oozes out of him. From then on I knew I wanted to be a Kodiak,” said Joe proudly. “The two seasons with the Kodiaks were my biggest growth years in hockey. I felt I became such a better player,” he added. “You dream about playing in the NHL since about three (years old), but I hadn’t grown yet and was a smaller guy. I came to camp as a 15-year-old and I
remember talking to Boris. He said if you come here and give me a chance to work with you, you will play pro hockey. That excited me and got me going. I was already learning things at the camp and all I could think about was to have a good year and come to the Kodiaks when I’m 16. It worked out awesome.” Joe had a great first year, which sparked interest from teams in the Western Hockey League. “I had such a good year that I knew that I was coming back for a second year. It is hard for a young player to make a big impact and get the ice time in the WHL. The skill level and players in the AJHL were very high and I thought I can do just as good here. It’s a fun brand of hockey and I learned a lot by going up against older players.” In his draft year, Joe was selected in the first round by the Boston Bruins. “It was a dream come true. To be able to do it out of a junior league like the AJHL shows it is good hockey and I had a lot of support around me. We had such a good year. To go to a storied franchise like Boston was awesome. They treated my unbelievably well and I love the city of Boston. Getting traded to Toronto gave me an opportunity to play my first NHL game. It was special because it was on Hockey Night in Canada against the Montreal Canadiens. That was so cool and
I had to pinch myself the whole day to see if it was real.” Joe was dealt again, this time to the Flames. “It was great to be able to play in my home town with the team I grew up watching and loved. Again, another dream come true. Since I was eight years old and playing mini sticks, or with others on the outdoor rink, I imagined myself playing for the Calgary Flames and scoring a big goal,” he added. “To have a chance to do that now is incredible. From a hockey standpoint, it is a great opportunity to be with a young team that has a good coaching staff that is helping the younger guys get better. To have your friends and family in the stands is pretty special.” His goal now is to win the cup for his hometown Flames. “We are making great strives and we may be a couple years away from contending. You can tell that we have fun attitude. We are bringing in guys who can help us improve and we are going to be an exciting team to watch for a few years to come,” Joe said. “Coming back brings so many good memories. I remember hoisting the trophy after beating Fort Mac (McMurray) and the people around town are so supportive. Here you get to know your fans and everyone. It was the best two years of my life, living in Camrose. I feel so fortunate to have played for the Camrose Kodiaks.”
Joe Colborne was eager to sign Calgary Flames jerseys, above with Ray McIsaac; he was in awe of seeing his number 12 retired and in the rafters on Feb. 14; Camrose mayor Norm Mayer presented Joe with the key the city and the National Hockey League player was greeted by students from several schools. Joe played two seasons for the Camrose Kodiaks before he was selected by the Boston Bruins in the first round. The former Kodiak played for the Toronto Maple Leafs before going to his home town Flames.

Science in Story “Science is storytelling,” says Dr. Cheryl Bartlett, Augustana’s 2013 Distinguished Alumna, “and relationships are based on storytelling.” How did this Professor of Biology and Canada Research Chair in Integrative Science begin to advocate for science to be done together with Aboriginal peoples? Why did she adopt the Dr. Cheryl Bartlett concept of “Two-Eyed Seeing” as a guide to allow her teaching and research in science to bring cultures together? Why did she take early retirement so soon after receiving her appointment to the Order of Canada? Her answers are in the story she wants to share with us.

By Murray Green The Camrose and Area Children’s Choirs will present their eighth annual dessert concert fundraiser Songs of Freedom; Music From Movements that have Changed the World on Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Camrose United Church. All three choirs, (junior, senior and the ensemble Vivo Cantando) will be sharing their music together in a concert for the community. “This concert is packed with music from major moments in the history of our world, inspired by the longing for peace and freedom,” explained conductor Joy-Anne Murphy. “The choirs will sing songs from the civil rights movement of the 1960s, including hits by Bob Dylan and the late Pete Seeger, and a piece based on the opening words of Martin Luther King Jr’s famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.” Other highlights include many famous South African anti-apartheid protest songs as well as spirituals sung by slaves looking to escape on the Underground Railroad to Canada. “This has been a landmark year for our concert program,” said Joy-Anne. “Last August marked the 50th anniversary of the civil rights March on Washington and King’s speech.” The world was reminded of the anti-apartheid movement with the extended illness and then passing of Nelson Mandela.

The concert will be held in the main hall of the United Church. Doors open at 6 p.m. and dessert is served until the concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are available from choir members, or by calling 780-672-3372. Only limited seats will be available at the door.

When you feel good, you look good
Tips for winter beauty therapy Winter brings with it many things, including snowy days, chilly nights and the propensity for irritating beauty issues. Cold dry air outside and warm dry air inside can result in moisture loss from both the hair and skin. Not only can this be uncomfortable, but it can be unsightly as well. There are also other beauty issues that come up, like which products to use this time of year. The primary beauty concern for most each winter is dryness. Winter is the season for dry skin and chapped lips because lower temperatures and lower humidity result in drier air, both indoors and outside. Forced-air heating sources also contribute to the problem, especially if they are not equipped with some sort of humidity adding device. Dry skin becomes itchy and turns into a nuisance. Dry air can also contribute to dry hair. Dry hair tends to be flyaway and prone to static. Your entire body actually may be susceptible to static-related shocks as you traverse carpeting or pull on charged clothing. The low humidity adds to the separation of electrons and protons in the materials surrounding a person, which contributes to extra static electricity. The imbalance of these microscopic particles becomes evident when you touch something metal and a shock occurs. Revamping a health and beauty regimen for winter comfort takes just a little effort. Here are some tips that will benefit you and your appearance all season long. 1. Adding moisture to your environment is one of the single best ways to combat winter skin and hair issues. This means purchasing a humidifier that will put moisture into the air. Even boiling some water on the stove and allowing the steam to seep into the air can alleviate a dry home. 2. Dry skin can feel tight and itchy. It may or may not flake off as well. Dry skin that is consistently scratched could become irritated or even infected if bacteria gets into the skin. Moisturizers applied all over the body can help the skin retain moisture and alleviate the itchiness. Creams with menthol could provide a cooling effect that also tames itchiness. But watch out for products that also contain alcohol. The alcohol might seem cooling at first, but the alcohol could eventually dry out the skin when it evaporates. 3. Experiment with your home’s thermostat to find an indoor temperature that is more comfortable for your dry skin conditions. 4. Very hot showers may chase away the chill from outdoors, but they can strip the skin and hair of moisture as well. Try showering in lukewarm water instead, and slather on a moisturizing body lotion right afterward. 5. Relying on an electric hair dryer to dry your hair after washing can compound dry, frizzy or unruly hair. It may be unwise to step outdoors on a cold day with wet hair, so leave ample time in your schedule to shower and allow hair to air dry whenever possible. 6. Licking dry lips just exacerbates the situation. Instead, use a moisturizing lip balm sparingly. Even rubbing a little olive oil over the lips can help moisturize and prevent cracking. 7. Choose nonfoaming cleansers for the face and body when washing up. This way the soapy layer doesn’t strip away 5021-50 St. Camrose 780-679-0577 HOURS: Tues., Wed. and Fri., 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; essential moisture from the lipid barrier Thurs., 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Sat., 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. of the skin.

2014 Ford F-150 One of Canada’s premiere trucks
Craig Beddoes
By Dan Jensen The 2014 Ford F-150 pickup at Lamb Ford Sales maintains its reputation as one of Canada’s premier pickups. Powered by either a 3.7 litre V-6, a 5.0 litre V-8, a 6.2 litre V-8, or the hightech EcoBoost V-6, the Ford F-150 has all the power you need to get the job done. The standard 3.7 litre V-6 features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder, plus twin-independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) technology. Ti-VCT allows for variable control of the intake and exhaust camshafts, optimizing combustion at full load to increase power and low- speed torque. It also enables variable valve overlap, which enhances fuel economy and improves cold-start operation with lower exhaust emissions. The available 5.0 litre Ti-VCT has the most horsepower (360) and torque (380 lb.-ft), plus the highest towing capacity of any smalldisplacement V-8 engine plus best-in-class payload. And it flexes all this muscle while delivering 14 litres per 100 km in the city and 9.7 litres per 100 km on the highway. Other notable fea-
tures are a high-strength aluminum engine block, optimized camshafts and 10.5:1 compression ratio to help maximize low-speed torque, and a cylinder head designed to increase airflow. The available 6.2 litre V-8 features power ratings of 411 horsepower and 434 lb.-ft. of torque – enough to easily tow a 5,125 kg trailer when properly equipped. Efficiency and durability are ensured by lightweight aluminum cylinder heads and pistons and a cast-iron block. The EcoBoost V-6 has an impressive maximum towing capability of 5,125 kg and offers up to 3,100 lbs of payload. Direct injection produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel, while the two small air-toair intercooled turbochargers spool up much more quickly than a single large turbo. The EcoBoost® engine underwent over 1,900 hours of testing at full-boost conditions, as well as thermal testing to simulate 10 years of operation in the harshest environments. The standard electronically controlled 6-speed close-ratio transmission helps optimize power delivery for excellent fuel
economy. A selectable tow/ haul mode improves performance when towing or hauling heavy loads. It compensates for grade and load and reduces gear hunting, improving power delivery. Engine braking also helps slow the truck when descending hills. The available SelectShift® Automatic has two modes of operation — Progressive Range Select or Full Manual. Progressive Range Select lets you toggle on the shift lever to reduce the range of available gears while in Drive. Tap down into Range Select mode and the display shows the available gears and highlights the one in use. This feature allows you to limit the use of upper gears when heavily loaded or while towing on grades. Full Manual function lets you pull the shift lever into “M” for manual mode and use the same toggle switch to select the gear desired. The display will show the selected gear and the control system will lock the torque converter and hold that gear for a full manual transmission feel. F-150 has a cargo box volume of 2,302 litres (81.3 cu. ft.). The available tailgate step and box side steps, both class-exclusive fea-
tures, provide easier access to all that payload capability. Standard Trailer Sway Control (TSC) builds on the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®) system to help maintain trailer control through selective wheel braking and reduced engine torque. The electronic-locking rear differential, when engaged, locks the rear axle completely to provide maximum traction at both rear wheels at the same time. The electronic-locking rear differential is fully integrated with the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®) system to deliver excellent control when travelling on- or off-road. Interior The quiet environment inside the Ford F-150 owes much to the Ford 720-degree approach to noise reduction through sound engineering. Its stiff frame and body, shear-style body mounts, door seals, Quiet Steel® and a noise-absorbing headliner all work together to reduce unwanted noise and vibration. The class-exclusive fully flat load floor in the cargo compartment provides 1,569L (55.4 cu. ft.) of usable cab space. The seat cushion
folds up and out of the way and the doors swing wide open to allow easy access to this large amount of space. The available rearview camera uses a camera mounted in the tailgate to produce a large and bright real-time visual display in the interior rearview mirror. Or the visual is displayed on the available 8-inch MyFord Touch®20 LCD touch screen. The standard Personal Safety System™ uses the electronic crash-severity sensor, a restraint-control module, a driver’s seat position sensor, dual-stage front airbags, eight Front Passenger Sensing System, safety belt pretensioners, safety belt energy management retractors and front outboard safety belt usage sensors to help protect the driver and front seat passenger. The available Navigation provides voice-guided turn-by-turn directions and also your choice of fastest, shortest, or EcoRoute mode that instantly calculates the most fuel-efficient route. Features also include a full-colour 3D bird’s-eye view plus points of interest and the last destinations entered in the system.

By Murray Green Connor Mailey was on a mission. Captain Kodiak notched a natural hat trick in the third period to give his team a 5-3 victory over the Canmore Eagles in a grudge match on Feb. 9. He also set up the previous two goals earlier in the game to give him a five point night. “It was a good comeback game for us. We struggled early and regrouped for the third period and it was one of those games where everything our line touched went in. I had three shots and scored three goals. I had a five point game last year too, but it may never happen again,” said Connor. “That was my first hat trick, so it was a pretty cool feeling for me. I was looking at the stat sheet and it was three goals in about 10 minutes. It was going well for me. My five point game last year was against Canmore as well. I like playing against them.” It’s no secret what team Connor would like to face in the playoffs. “They’re my team to play against and if we play them that will be good for me,” laughed Connor. “We could very well play them and in our last seven games we are working on getting home ice advantage for the playoffs. We are one point back of Canmore, so we want to finish ahead of them. We have
the same number of games left, so it’s a goal to shoot for.” The loses in Canmore two weeks ago were the toughest one of the season. “We struggled for a bit, but not we are regrouped and it is going to be a battle right down to the 60th game,” said Connor. “Things are different in the dressing room. Coach is always intense, but we are focusing more as a team. We are trying to get in each other’s head to prepare for playoffs. We know that the division is tight and we also know that we are preparing to beat any team we are matched up against. The playoffs are a whole new season. “We have some guys that are playing in their last seven regular games and playoffs and they want to give everything they have. The difference this year is that we have more character. We went through a tough two or two and a half month stretch where I don’t think we had a home win, but it has made us better. Our record in the last four months is pretty phenomenal. If we bring that intensity into the playoffs, we will do just fine.” After the Eagles soared in two games on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 in Canmore, the Mailey led bears were out for revenge. The Eagles started the scoring, but Luc Vandale pulled Camrose even. Can-
more netted a power play marker before the period ended. Ryan Huolt collected the only tally in the second on a shorthanded play. The Eagles jumped to a lead in the third prior to Mailey scoring the equalizer and the go-ahead goal and insurance marker. Goalie Devin McDonald held the Kodiaks in it during the opening period by facing 17 shots and he stopped 27 of 30 fired in his direction in total. Vandale scored a goal and assisted on another to help the Kodiaks tame the Calgary Mustangs 4-1 on Feb. 7. Calgary opened the scoring, but Vandale scored less than two minutes later and defenceman Trevor Costello garnered his second tally of the season that proved to be the winning marker. Cam Gotaas in the second frame, and Nelson Gadoury added extra goals. It was Matt Zentner’s turn to played well in the net as he turned away 21 of 22 shots.

Chamber recaps busy year By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Chamber of Commerce recapped another busy year at its 104th annual general meeting Feb. 5. “The events hosted by the Chamber this year were all very successful,” said president Jennifer Filip, who is embarking on her second consecutive term. “I would like to express my appreciation to each of the committees.”

Highlights
Community Involvement
The Chamber of Commerce added a 1950s theme to Jaywalkers’ Jamboree and introduced a “Kick’n Country” theme to its BVJ parade. “These events and the Business of the Summer promotion really got the whole community involved,” said Sharon Anderson in her executive director’s report. “I was really impressed with the level of participation by both individuals and businesses to dress Camrose up.” The Chamber of Commerce distributed 10 issues of the Trade Winds newsletter to an average of 700 area businesses via Canada Post, and emailed it to over 365 members. Summer staff at the Visitor Information Centre participated in familiarization tours within the City of Camrose, assisted with Aboriginal Days, visited Jojo’s Maze Craze and museums, and explored many other local attractions to share their experiences with visitors to the centre.

THE ADVANTAGES OF SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL. T:7.5”
In extremely cold weather, synthetic oil is simply better. Originally engineered for military applications, the controlled chemistry and purity of synthetic oil means that it protects your engine the best, when you need it most. Even at incredibly low temperatures, synthetic oil remains viscous, allowing it to immediately flow to and protect the critical components of your engine during the harshness of those cold weather starts. Ask your service advisor about upgrading to Pennzoil® synthetic oil motor oil today...
Oil & Filter Change Changing your vehicle’s oil and filter at regular intervals isn’t just a good idea – it’s a vital part of keeping your vehicle’s engine running properly. Engine oil protects your engine’s moving parts against wear and corrosion; but even the highest quality oils break down over time. Filters too have a limited life expectancy and once fully obstructed they lose their ability to filter contaminants from your engine oil. This combination of degraded, contaminated engine oil and an obstructed filter can directly damage the very components they were originally engineered to protect.

Augustana hoop team in playoffs It is a scheduler’s dream. The Augustana Vikings women’s basketball team defeated Lakeland 56-46 and 66-55 to set up the battle for first place in the last game of the regular season with the Grant MacEwan. Both teams had already qualified for the second round of the playoffs, but bragging rights for finishing first was on the line. “It’s exciting going head-to head in a battle, which should help us prepare us for the playoffs,” said guard Monique Jarrett. “Their defensive mind set is what we need to strive against for playoffs. Our offence needs to play against that kind of a team to give us confidence going into the playoffs,” added Taryn Story. “Grant MacEwan has a well rounded team, so it is good because the match-ups will be that much more tougher and it allows us to give a bigger push as we head into playoffs.” The Vikings welcomed the top team into battle. “They are important, but not elimination games. It is good to get some pressure games and play as hard as we can with an evenly matched team, so we can sense what is feels like to play hard for the entire game. We can’t make mistakes and need to play sharp before the intense pressure of single elimination playoff games,” explained Monique. Earlier in the season Augustana lost to Keyano, a lower team. “It was a wake up call. It was good to lose, so we know what it feels like and it motivates us to play every game,” said Taryn, who is from Daysland. “You can’t be too cocky and I think our team dealt with that well. Especially since the loss, we have come back stronger. Having a loss is fine because you can’t dewell on it. You just have to keep pushing forward.” The outcome will be decided by the Vikings. “We have to play hard and not worry about the referees or think we can beat a team just by showing up. We need to play hard as we can every game, “ Monique said.
The Vikings won’t know their opponent for two weeks. “We have to prepare to play and it doesn’t matter who we play. We have to bring the same excitement, confidence and determination to every game and every opponent,” said Taryn. With several strong teams, the playoff games will be close games. “We need really good defence to have success. We know that we can score. The key is not to be led into high scoring games. We want low scoring ones and play tough defence. We want to hold teams to 40 to 50 points because we can control that. We can’t control forcing our jumpers to hit every shot. Going into the MacEwan games and in the playoffs it will be defence first,” insisted Monique. “It will take everyone to beat other teams. We are such a deep team that we can rely on different players to step up,” said Taryn. “It is even more so this year than last year.” That makes it hard to defend the Vikings. “We have so many weapons to use and we spread the offence around. We are working on some new things, sharpening up on some things and work on intensity,” added Monique. Playing the championship in Olds instead of the home pressure in Camrose could help the Vikings. “We had some pressure on us by being the hosts, but we can be all together in Olds and that seeing them win gives us motivation. We received silver medals last year and we want gold this year,” said Monique. They both want to do well considering neither one will be back next season. Augustana is considering arranging for a fan bus to cheer on the Vikings in Olds. Check with the university on the details. Kelsey Lund led the Vikings in scoring in the first contest with 19. Taryn Story backed her up with 17 points. Keri Kubinec exploded for 21 points in the second outing with Kelsey netting 12

“Don’t tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I’ll tell you what they are.� – James W. Frick
Pay the mortgage or contribute to an RRSP? Submitted by Rebecca Nelson, Edward Jones
It’s a common dilemma for many Canadians – should you pay down your mortgage or contribute to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) instead? Unfortunately, there’s no easy or definitive answer. What works for one person may not work for another. It all depends on your particular circumstances, plus factors related to economic conditions and developments in the financial markets. To help you determine what might be right for you, here are some issues to consider. Interest rates – how much will you save by paying down the mortgage? You might find historically low interest rates to be a factor in favour of investing in an RRSP. That’s because paying off a low-rate mortgage doesn’t offer the same level of savings as paying off a higher-rate mortgage. But remember that as rates move up, mortgage savings could take on renewed importance. Higher rates mean higher interest costs, which means you’ll probably save more by reducing or eliminating your mortgage principal. When it’s time to renew at higher rates, you’ll have less of an outstanding mortgage. Investment returns – how much can you earn on your investments? Remember, an RRSP boosts returns by allowing your investments to grow within a tax-deferred environment. And don’t forget the immediate tax break your annual RRSP contribution provides. You need to determine whether the returns from a lump sum put into your RRSP will be greater than the amount saved by paying down the mortgage. This decision needs to be shaped by a long-term view, looking at both interest rates and investment returns. Other debt – if you have high-interest debt such as credit card balances, it usually makes sense to pay that off before focusing on your mortgage or RRSP. Your age – remember that contributions to an RRSP at an early age can make a big difference in helping you reach your long-term financial goals. The earlier you get money into a retirement plan, the longer it will have to grow in a tax-deferred manner. Other retirement income – if you have a workplace pension that will help finance retirement, or other sources of future income, it may make more sense to pay down the mortgage. Once the mortgage is paid off, you can concentrate on your RRSP. Missed RRSP contributions – RRSP rules allow you to make up for missed contributions. If you have unused contribution room from past years, that’s another consideration to take into account. Again, you’ll need to assess whether the returns after making up for those missed contributions will be greater than the amount saved by paying down the mortgage. Also remember that the mortgage versus RRSP decision does not have to be “either-or.� The best scenario for many people is contributing to an RRSP as well as paying down the mortgage. For example, you could make your RRSP contribution each year, and then pay down a portion of the mortgage principal using the tax refund generated by your RRSP contribution. Consult with your financial advisor to help you weigh your options and choose a course of action that makes the most sense for you.

It’s never too late to start saving Every year, during the month of February, financial institutions stress the importance of saving and they disseminate information to help people make decisions that will have a beneficial impact on their financial wellbeing over a lifetime. Promoted are saving through Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) and/or various other plans that may better suit an individual’s situation. The primary thrust of the campaign is to stress the importance of saving. We are well advised to pay attention to the message. We have been reminded often, recently, that many Canadians are not saving and are living beyond their means. One does not have to be a financial wizard to see that spending $160 for every $100 earned will lead to disaster. Everyone would agree that having a lifelong savings plan would ease one’s worries about being able to cope with unexpected blips of misfortune and insufficient financial security for a comfortable retirement. Fortunate are the children whose parents begin teaching them money management from an early age. Kevin O’Leary, successful entrepreneur who is part of CBC’s Lang & O’Leary Exchange, says he taught his children to start saving at age five. Other financial advisers have praised all parents who teach their children to manage money within the limits of their childhood and teenage allowances. Educators, too, are adding money management to school curricula. People often delay saving for retirement because they think it will get easier to do later on. Actually, it doesn’t because the longer one procrastinates, the shorter the time one has in which to put away the amount one will need. If one starts saving when younger, the monthly contributions will be smaller and the accumulating savings will also earn interest along the way. Younger procrastinators will say they cannot afford to save. Essential to making that determination is having a budget. Be diligent in keeping track of everything you spend. Then review the list and separate needs and wants; do you really need cigarettes, a weekend binge, eat out or take out food, coloured hair, the latest gadget? Do you really need to buy those bigger items now and borrow money to do so? You save interest charges if you wait until you have the cash and/or use your credit card only for purchases for which you can pay in full when your next statement comes. Interest on unpaid credit card balances is exorbitant. Don’t scoff at how little the above suggestions would allow one to save. Even a few dollars a month, drawing compound interest over a period of some 40 of 50 years, becomes a significant sum. Firmly establishing the habit of saving at a young age holds the brightest promise of a comfortable retirement Fortunate are those whose parents exposed them to the fundamentals of money management, including saving and giving, at an early age! If you think you can’t save, think again!

Laura Pearl Woods Laura Pearl Woods of Camrose, AB passed away on Sunday, February 9, 2014 at the age of 93 years. Laura Pearl (Berg) Woods was born on August 6, 1920 to Gust and Bessie Berg. The third of seven children, Laura grew up on the farm north of Manville and attended school at Pathfinder and Myrnam. She attended Edmonton Normal School and started her teaching career at Bezanson in northern Alberta. A year later, she accepted the position of teacher at Pretty Hill School, near Kingman, followed by a position at New Salem School south of Camrose. Her last teaching post was at Armena where she spent two years. During her time at New Salem, she met Bob and romance blossomed. They were married July 27, 1947 at Camrose United Church and started farming with Bob’s parents on the farm south of Camrose. Laura took an active role on the farm, helping with chores, milking cows and raising chickens. She became an avid gardener and was proud of her bountiful crops. Many friends and relatives were recipients of the surplus produce – especially zucchini, rhubarb and, in later years, pumpkins! Laura was involved in many community and church activities which always played an important role in her life. Joining the Country Women’s group led to a lifelong dedication to Unit L and UCW. She spent endless hours in the church kitchen as the ‘boss’ for catered events and funerals. In fact, when issues of indecision arose, the common response would be, “Ask Laura!” Her volunteer efforts did not end with the church; she served on the Co-op Board, worked at and participated in the local fair, supported her daughters 4-H involvement and made valuable contributions to numerous other worthwhile causes. Laura was passionate about writing. She enjoyed writing poetry and short stories and often composed them for special occasions. She was thrilled to be able to contribute her stories to Grainews on a regular basis from 1983 to 1991. Writing continued through her retirement and with the help of her grandchildren and, in her later years, she was able to master the use of a computer. Bob and Laura retired from the farm in 1987 and moved to Camrose, where they resided until their move to Sunrise Village in 2011. Laura will be sadly missed by her loving husband Bob; daughters Evelyn (Maurice), Loretta (Gerry) and Adele (Terry); eight grandchildren Mark (Jaki), Paul (Carly), Nicole (Jared), Greg (Jody) Karin (Brad), Ryan (Stacey), Meghan (Rob) and Darcy (Kirsten); and six great grandchildren Xavier, Ella, Claire, Sianna, Salem and Lena; her sister Hazel (Dick) Pilger; and brother Glen. She was predeceased by her parents; brothers George, Howard and Norman; sister Grace; and grandson Robert Campeau. A funeral service was held on Saturday, February 15, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. from Camrose United Church (4829-50 Street, Camrose, AB) with Rev. Alan Richards officiating. Interment has taken place in the Skafse Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made in Laura’s name to Camrose United Church UCW or a charity of choice.

Beulah Isaac Beulah Enns Isaac, wife, mother, and grandmother, was born to Jacob T. and Helena Enns at Swalwell, AB on August 8, 1942. She passed away peacefully on February 10, 2014 at the age of 71 with her family at her bedside after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Mom grew to womanhood in the Swalwell area where she engaged her studies while attending the local schools. Her conversion was meaningful to her and she was baptized on February 27, 1955 becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. The Church and her teachings, Sunday School, Bible reading and devotions were important parts of her life. At the age of 19, Mom spent one year teaching kindergarten and first grade at the Sunchild O’Chiese Mission which she thoroughly enjoyed. Mom married our dad, Don Isaac, on November 18, 1962 sharing life together for just over 51 years. They settled on the farm in the newly-formed Edberg area raising their family of two daughters and three sons. Our mom was a homemaker teaching us with love, the values of honesty, punctuality and orderliness. She was gifted with remembering birthdays and special occasions with either a phone call or card. Her passion for quilting led her to inspire and tutor others locally and long-distance. Many are the recipients of one of her lovely handmade gifts. Mom enjoyed poetry and reading, sharing with others from her vast library of books. She loved little children and was affectionately called “Auntie Beulah” by young and old alike. Unknowingly, she touched many lives which was evident by the many visits, phone calls and flowers in her last days. When Mom was diagnosed with cancer, we marvelled how she so graciously accepted God’s will for her life. She endeavoured to live right and serve her Saviour. “I know I’m saved, I know I’m saved, I feel the Holy Spirit deep within ...” was the last phrase she sang. Her farewell words no matter the time of day were, “Meet you in the morning.” Those left to mourn her passing are her husband Don; their children Rhonda and Jarold Koehn, Durham, KS, Marlys and Gene Gable, Jeromesville, OH, Murray and April, Stratford, ON, Darren and June, Meeting Creek, AB, and Les and Heather, New Norway, AB; 12 grandchildren who were very dear to her; three brothers Ed and Audrey, Vanderhoof, BC, Hank and Inez, and Dave and Helen, Linden, AB; two sisters Irene and John Adams, Abbotsford, BC, and Helen Rose, Linden, AB; and a host of relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her parents, parents-in-law and one brother-in-law. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Dr. du Plessis and the nursing staff of Unit 2, St. Mary’s Hospital, for the exceptional care Mom received in the last 19 days of her life. Mom also appreciated the thoughtfulness of the Camrose Home Care team. Funeral services were held on Saturday, February 15, 2014 at Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Edberg, AB with interment in Edberg Lakeview Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to condolences@sunsetltd.ca. Arrangements were in care of Sunset Funeral Service, Linden Phone 403-888-3903

Bernice Elizabeth Gabry July 17, 1928 – February 9, 2014 Bernice Elizabeth Gabry of Camrose passed away Sunday, February 9, 2014 at the age of 85 years. Bernice was born July 17, 1928 to parents William and Bernice MacDonald, and grew up on the family farm north of Camrose with younger siblings, Donald and Joyce. She attended Throndson School first, Dinant school for grade 9 and Camrose High School for grades 10 to 12. Bernice married and, over the next 13 years, welcomed one daughter (Linda) and three sons (Jim, Bob and Anthony) into the world. The family moved to Camrose in 1960 and Bernice started working at St. Mary’s Hospital as a ward clerk and then in medical records. She moved over to Rosehaven’s Medical Record Department and retired at the age of 59, having worked outside of the home in excess of 25 years. Bernice volunteered at the St. Mary’s gift shop and actively participated in organizations such as Al-Anon, A.U.P.E. and the Condo Board at Park Place, and was active in planning Dinant reunions. It was at the Singles’ Club that she met Alex Gabry and, after a courtship of 10 years, they married and spent almost another 30 years together. Both of them enjoyed travelling and especially camping in their fifth wheel with close friends and family. Often accompanied by Joyce and Dennis, they spend many a summer in northern Saskatchewan fishing and blueberry picking. Another memorable trip was to Nova Scotia where her dad’s family still resides on his parent’s homestead. Bernice also loved to listen to the accordion and several trips were made to Kimberley, BC to the World Accordion Festival. Her greatest love was her family. She delighted in their successes and offered encouragement wherever possible. She never quit on anyone who needed her support, strength, drive or love. Bernice had numerous grandchildren and loved to spoil them. Many trips were made to buy candy and to play in the schoolyard to the delight of all. Birthdays and special events like graduations were remembered and celebrated. Thanksgiving was the major holiday celebrated by our family and was always hosted by Bernice and Alex. She would prepare everyone’s favourite foods and enjoyed being surrounded by loved ones. The annual Christmas trip to Edmonton to gather with family was special to her as well. Bernice enjoyed playing cards, board games and was especially competitive in Scrabble with her granddaughter April and best friend Elsie Richardson. Other hobbies included curling, cross stitch, quilting, square dancing, playing the piano, reading and accompanying Alex to fly-in breakfasts and Legion events. Bernice was a beautiful person who tried to be a source of inspiration, strength, comfort and joy to those around her. Her love for life and dedication/service to others provides an example of how life should be lived. She will be fondly remembered by her husband Alex; children Linda (Chuck) Deschenaux of Edmonton, Jim (Ann) Starcheski of St. Albert, and Anthony Starcheski of Edmonton; 11 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; sister Joyce (Dennis) Dibski of Saskatoon; and special friends of the family Nancy Starcheski and Karen Davis. Bernice was predeceased by her son Bob; grandson Brett; and brother Donald MacDonald. Cherished and loved, Bernice will always be remembered in our hearts. A Funeral Service was held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, February 15, 2014 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Al-Anon, Brett Starcheski Memorial Fund, or to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!
EVELYN VIKSE’S 90th Birthday, Sunday, Feb. 23, Open House, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m., Norsemen Inn.
Be Thorough
Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but 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 you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, 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 price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible
Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you 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 any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

Augustana teams in playoffs Continued from page 22
“We don’t want to adjust the other teams, we want to make them adjust to us. Our defence is one of our stronger points.” “Defence and blocking,” said Luke. “Serving aggressively is another we have to focus on for the whole weekend. We want to put teams in trouble right from the service and that will help our blocking and defence.” It is important to play hard right from the first whistle. “It’s huge to start strong. If we don’t win our quarter-final it is hard to advance the semifinals. You have to start well and keep it going,” said Cole. The players don’t want to concentrate on the next matchup, but they know which team would be next. “It’s hard not to think about it. A win against Medicine Hat would put us against Red Deer. That would be a big match to look forward to, but we do have to focus on Medicine Hat and then take it match by match,” stated Luke. Although Medicine Hat won the regular season series, the Vikings are not worried. “We have improved a lot and we are at a different level now,” explained Luke. “We have made changes in the lineup and how we run the offence,” chipped in Cole. “They have also lost one of their key players.” All three of the captains are planning to come back and play again next year. The 11-7 men’s team beat the King’s Eagles 3-0 and 3-1 to earn a spot in the second round of playoffs. Luke led the Vikings with 17 kills and nine digs in the first match. In the second, Nathan Lehman garnered 17 kills while both Thomas Regier and Ryan collected 12 digs each. A qualifying tournament at Briercrest determined the final two spots for the playoffs. The Vikings placed fifth after the regular season and will travel to Red Deer on Feb. 21 to 23 for the ACAC championships. The women’s volleyball team didn’t win a series in the second half of the season and it cost them a playoff spot. Augustana lost 3-1 and 3-0 to King’s Eagles to be eliminated. Kiera Lotoski led in the first match with nine kills and Jennifer Laskosky chipped in with 16 digs. In the rematch, Keri Alcorn helped with 11 digs. The Vikings were two points behind NAIT for the last spot in the first round of qualifying for playoffs. Hockey
The Augustana Vikings played NAIT tough on Feb. 7, but ended up on the wrong side of a 3-1 score. Jeremy Beirnes netted his sixth goal of the season Andy Williams stopped 32 of 35 shots to give Augustana a chance in the contest. Augustana hosts Portage on Feb. 22.
