Bringing archaeology alive

By Jane Ross

Alberta is rich in archaeology—Battle River is rich in archaeology. As we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, it is especially important to revisit the places and events that mark the origins of our nation and our region.

What would you answer in reply to the question, “What are the most important archaeological finds in Alberta to date?”

Dr. Darryl Bereziuk will help answer questions such as this at the next regional Archeology-Anthropology public event at Wahkohtowin Lodge on Friday, Feb. 17

Katie Hauser

City flushes out new wastewater treatment technology

By Lori Larsen

The next time you flush a toilet take a minute to think of the entire process required in order to treat the water and safely return it to the Battle River Water System.

With a license to operate and maintain a wastewater treatment plant the City of Camrose is mandated by Alberta environmental regulations to ensure the plant is operating at the appropriate standards according to population size.

“Environmental regulations change depending on the population of a municipality,” explained city manager Malcolm Boyd. “One of the triggers for the next standard of treatment is 20,000 population equivalent.

“Camrose has a population of just over 18,000 but its population equivalent, which includes waste from industry such as Cargill, brings it over the 20,000.

Our license agreement with Alberta environment requires us to improve the plant to meet the new standards by August 2022.

“Traditionally, to make the change from where we are to where we have to go, municipalities (larger centres such as Edmonton or Calgary) have been forced to go with a mechanical treatment system,” added

CITY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT AND LAGOONS

Boyd. “These systems are very expensive to build and operate. However, there are communities around Canada that have successfully used a different type of technology that is not mechanically based and those are the technologies that we are looking at. Of course we have to make sure the province will approve the use of these different technologies.”

Presently the city is going through a technology selection process to determine which treatment process will provide the surface area for bacteria to adhere to and subsequently remove ammonia, something the present treatment process does not do. The new process will also have to remove phosphorous. This selection

process includes sending samples of waste water to a specialized lab located at the University of Ottawa for testing which will help determine whether or not the technology will meet the required standards.

The upgraded system will also bring the limits on the levels of TSS (total suspended solids) and BOD (biological oxygen demand) to an acceptable standard ensuring the treated wastewater being put back into the Battle River System is environmentally acceptable.

“Essentially the province has to agree that our plan will work for them and if we move forward with this approach this would be the first installation of its kind within Alberta.”

Timeline

A large project such as the Wastewater Treatment plant does not happen over night and will extend over the next three years.

“This year will involve selecting the type of technology we want to go with, finalizing the preliminary design and then by the end of this year we would like the detailed design completed and have our grant applications in place.”

The city would then be ready to tender for construction in the early part of 2018 with a proposed completion of construction the middle of 2020. “ The new facility will be designed for an equivalent population of 30,000, allowing for future expansion of the City.”

Budget

With a budget of $40,000,000 the Wastewater Treatment Plant project is the largest project in the capital plan.

The project will likely include the addition of a process building and lagoons with an aeration system and the required monitoring for process control.

“Our budget includes the assumption that we are going to get 25 per cent of the cost through federal and provincial grants that are available for wastewater treatment infrastructure.”

T he rema in ing $30,000,000 will be left to the city to fund, of which $17,000,000 will be used from reserves and $13,000,000 funded by incurring debt. The city continues to search for other grant opportunities which might increase the federal and provincial share of the project, leaving less cost for the City of Camrose to bear.

“The City has been building a reserve through the utility rates and our finance plan will utilize that reserve,” said Boyd.

“The city will also utilize some debt, but the servicing of that debt (payments and interest) has been accounted for without the need for future utility rate increases.”

REFLECTIONS

by Bonnie Hutchinson Chocolate mousse valentine

The photo first caught my attention. A chef from an Edmonton restaurant displayed a chocolate dessert surrounded by fresh berries.

Looked divine.

The newspaper story was a pre-Valentine’s Day piece. I read that chocolate contains “a naturally occurring chemical in the human brain responsible for the euphoric feelings associated with being in love.”

I smiled. Yep, give me chocolate and I’ll follow you anywhere. Most chefs do not share their special recipes.

But, to my surprise, the story included the chef’s special recipe for Chocolate Mousse, generously provided, he said, “as a gesture of love to the entire foodie community… guaranteed to arouse passion for someone, somewhere.”

Ooh, nice touch. I smiled again. ***

To put this in context, I don’t often read recipes. I used to joke that my favorite thing to make for dinner is reservations.

Though I enjoy Chocolate Mousse, I’d never had any desire to make it myself.

I flicked my eye over the recipe, not really intending to read it. The first thing that caught my eye was, “One quart of 33 per cent whipping cream.”

Oooh, the real stuff. Not some “lite” concoction. Not a fake petroleum product. Real whipping cream. One quart of real whipping cream! Whipped cream images began floating across my line of vision. ***

The next ingredient stopped me cold: “One pound of dark bittersweet Bernard Callebaut chocolate.” I gasped out loud.

In case you haven’t tasted it, you have to understand about Bernard Callebaut chocolate. It is to ordinary chocolate as Manolo Blahnik shoes are to good serviceable loafers. A taste of Bernard Callebaut chocolate is a rich, dark, sensuous whole-body experience. Bernard Callebaut chocolate should probably not be eaten in public. One pound of dark bittersweet Bernard Callebaut chocolate?

I could feel my pupils dilating and my taste buds tingling.

I was actually salivating. You probably shouldn’t even read about Bernard Callebaut chocolate in public.

The instructions were surprisingly simple. Melt the dark bittersweet Bernard Callebaut chocolate, mix it with the whipped cream, put it in a round pan and place it in the fridge for a couple of hours.

When it’s set, top it with Bernard Callebaut white chocolate shavings (more chocolate!) and garnish it with fresh berries (like it needs a garnish).

Green spaces

The snow is still on the ground, but spring is within sight. With the coming of spring comes the maintenance of the green spaces we are so fortunate to have in Camrose. I am in support of the Camrose Naturalization Project and this forward thinking approach to city planning.

There is solid reasoning behind this approach as a cost saving measure and as a way to sustain the natural environment. Naturalization was thoroughly investigated by the city staff and became part of the Green Spaces Master Plan. Other cities such as Edmonton and Calgary have already been implementing this approach successfully. The matter was brought before city council again in the fall and concerns were raised. However, I believe that to call a halt

to it after it is barely off the ground is premature.

Less than a year is not long enough to gage the benefits of the program. We need to look to the success that has been experienced in cities where the approach has been well established.

I was privileged to hear long time city employee, Chris Clarkson, explain the naturalization approach to children on the Waste in Our Watershed field trip for Grade 4 students this past spring. Naturalization makes sense on so many levels. The benefits will come with time as nature rejuvenates and diversifies.

It requires patience on our parts. I encourage citizens and council to not lose sight of the long term benefits, during this time of transition that may be uncomfortable for some.

In light of the Blue Dot principles that City council has supported, I encourage Camrose to stay the course.

Keep moving forward to continue progress towards a more environmentally sustainable approach to caring for our beloved city.

With respect and hope, Carol Breitkreutz, Camrose Legal industry

The Vader Case: I have tried to be objective and see both sides, however, with a judge using an obsolete rul-

ing, he appears to be lacking both common sense and competence. Now what, more millions in legal aid.

The Keep Your Knees Together Judge, seems to be chauvinistic and about the same calibre as the Vader Judge. Were these jerks political appointees? I can’t see how they got their jobs on merit. They both should be fired plus many more of the same calibre.

As a business person, I’ve seen multi-million dollar statements of claim flying around with judges letting lawyers attack witnesses like an unneutered pit bull. I have told some, the lack of ethics is certainly no handicap to being a lawyer or judge, although I am sure there are some smart and honest ones around. In the aforementioned court, both judge and two lawyers seemed to act very unprofessional, using “slang” that I didn’t know what they were talking about, showing little respect and courtesy, while the judge kept quiet.

I heard some legal beagles say by firing these two judges, the public may lose confidence in the legal system. I have none.

Only in Canada could a criminal serve jail time, get out and go on to become a judge.

The way I see it.

R.J. Burd, Camrose

***

I decided right then that I needed to make this recipe.

Yes, that would be the “I” whose favorite dish is whatever someone else made.

I planned a special dinner as a lead-in to the fabulous Chocolate Mousse. I – who don’t usually enjoy grocery shopping – actually looked forward to the “special outing” to buy the ingredients.

On the day I bought my Bernard Callebaut chocolate, the person at the counter knew exactly what recipe I was talking about. And then the thought of the anticipation, the preparation and then actually tasting…

Well, talking about it is probably something else that shouldn’t be done in public. ***

I forwarded the story to several friends and blathered on about the amazing recipe. I’ve told dozens of people about the XXX-rated Chocolate Mousse and I’ve recommended the chef and his restaurant.

That chef’s “gesture of love to the entire foodie community” was a wonderful valentine. The chef’s generous gesture was also, incidentally, good for business – his restaurant’s business and the Bernard Callebaut store.

I love the idea that generosity is good for business.

And the chocolate mousse dinner? Well, let’s just say it exceeded expectations. ***

So here’s my valentine to you. If you send me an email at Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com, I’ll email you the Chocolate Mousse recipe. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

Johnson film featured at Nordlys Festival

By Lori Larsen

Camrose will be welcoming back one of its own, executive producer Dale Armid Johnson, during the Nordlys Film and Art Festival being held from Feb. 17 to 19 at the historic Bailey Theatre.

Johnson was born and raised in Camrose and attributes his strong work ethic and sense of community to his devote parents, LeRoy and the late Diane Johnson.

Johnson and his wife Erika Hoveland, also formerly from Camrose, now reside in the United States and operate Lynmar Entertainment, a top-tier film financing and entertainment services company.

“It feels good to come back and be a part of the festival,” said Johnson. “It is an honour to be able to help,” he added referring to the continual movement in Camrose of supporting the film industry.

The Festival will be presenting Johnson’s film, Pawn Sacrifice as the opening night feature on Feb. 17. After the film Johnson will be conducting a general question and answer session for audience members.

Pawn Sacrifice was directed by Academy Award winning producer Ed Zwick, and stars Tobey Maguire, Liev Schreiber and Peter Sarsgaard. The film premiered in 2014 at the Toronto Film Festival.

The film is set back during the Cold War and relates the life story of American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer.

“We wanted to try and shine a light on all the

Dale Johnson

aspects of his (Fischer’s) life,” said Johnson. “He had such incredible achievements and was such a brilliant man but at the same time very complicated and had some dark sides to his personality.”

Johnson said the film veered away from the typical Hollywood style movies that showed an American winning a big match against the Russians, the enemy at the time.

“We wanted to show, in some ways, his descent into madness, it was a really tragic tale so we wanted to show the human side of that story.”

The film captures the momentous point in history where, amidst the

Cold War and world tension Fischer takes on the 1972 Soviet grandmaster Boris Spassky at the World Chess Championship.

Maguire, known for his role as Peter Parker in the Spider-Man movie series, is reported by Justin Chang in the Toronto Film review as giving “an angry, bristling performance as chess champ Fischer.”

Johnson commented on some of the challenges faced filming a story that was set back in New York.

“We had some challenges in replicating the era and replicating New York,” he noted. “We actually filmed (for the most part) in Montreal and it

was a wonderful experience.

“The crews in Canada are unbelievably skilled, there is truly world class talent in our own home country. We were able to emulate the New York scenes very effectively in Montreal.”

Johnson explained that Pawn Sacrifice was chosen to show in Camrose at the Nordlys Festival because the rich content of the film creates great conversation.

“It is a true story and a story that a lot of people still remember and lived through. People watched these matches unfold back in a time when there was no internet, a time when people would tune in and

get the results of these chess matches. It was like the equivalent of what we see these days where a world wide audience is tuning in.”

One of Johnson’s most recent accomplishments is the film Lost City of Z, directed by James Gray and starring Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller premiered at the closing Gala of the New York Film Festival in October 2016. The film will also be premiering at the Berlin Film Festival on Feb. 14 and in London on Feb. 16.

Tickets for the Nordlys Film and Art Festival can be purchased at the Bailey Theatre box office (cash or cheque only) or online at www.nordlysfestival.com.

Churchmice Players bring Mary Poppins back to life

By Murray Green

Broadway hit Mary Poppins will be brought back to life by the Churchmice Players. Eight shows from Feb. 9 to 18 will be presented at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

All shows start at 7:30 p.m. except for a matinee on Feb. 12 at 2 p.m.

“Playing Mary Poppins is a great opportunity for me because it is a character that everybody knows. This is a classic and people grow up knowing her and singing the songs in Mary Poppins,” said Ashley Kambeitz, who loves both acting and singing the parts. “It’s harder because you remember the Disney version, rather than the Broadway story. I also like to play my own character to make them more like me, which is harder to do in this version.”

You will remember the famous film with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke. Children Jane and Michael, of the wealthy and

uptight Banks family, are faced with the prospect of getting a new nanny. They are pleasantly surprised by the arrival of the magical Mary Poppins.

“We have a better opportunity to put on a good performance because we have such a great performing arts centre. The sound and lighting is so much better there,” said Ashley, who has three children under three years old. “I may have bitten off more than I should have, but I have always been able to remember lines easily, so it hasn’t been that hard. It is more of a balance between my home life and rehearsing. I’m also finding my sanity here by getting a break (from children). But, it is a big commitment.”

The show goes on a journey of fantastical adventures with Mary and her Cockney performer friend, Bert; the child siblings try to pass on some of their nanny’s sunny attitude to their preoccupied parents.

“We are so lucky in

Ashley Kambeitz and Brian Dumont star in Mary Poppins.

Camrose. We have a full live band to work with. Not very many productions can say that. The countless people behind the scenes doing hair, costumes and props don’t always get the recognition they deserve. We couldn’t pull off a play like this without them,” said

Ashley, after praising the talented people in the show.

“We have a great director, Sylvia Lyons, and I have worked with her in several shows,” she said.

The Churchmice Players’ version of Mary Poppins is directed by Sylvia. “We wanted a

show that would appeal to children. The play only has two children in it, but children and adults know the story and words and can sing along and enjoy it.

Our version is more of the Broadway version that has some songs in it that were not in the movie.”

Auditions for the local play started back in June and the players have been learning their lines ever since. “We have a cast of about 40 people and I like to get the community involved as much as possible. It is a good number and we have the room at the Lougheed Centre for a bigger production. It is a large stage, so we have lots of room for dancers,” explained Lyons.

Shows are on Feb. 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17 and 18. To purchase tickets visit the Lougheed Arts Centre website at www.camrose live.ca or call the Lougheed Box Office at 780-608-2922 Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 4:30 p.m.

RRIF tax deferred plan From Scotiabank

A RRIF is a tax-deferred retirement plan used to generate income from the savings accumulated from your RRSP. The year the plan is opened a payment does not have to be made, but any amount may be withdrawn.

The year after the plan is opened, an annual minimum payment must be taken each year and is considered taxable income

Annual minimum payment is determined by the Income Tax Act and is based on your age. (Your own age or your spouse’s age can be used to calculate the annual minimum payment. Using the younger of the ages will result in a lower annual minimum payment. This means less money will have to be withdrawn and taken into taxable income and more remains in the RRIF.

The donation started with the best intentions.

Mary Fraser in Alberta made a $10,000 donation to a registered charity. They provided her with a receipt for $20,000 to claim on her taxes. They explained that her $10,000 would buy more supplies in the third world country she was trying to help. The extra $10,000 on the donation receipt helped boost Ms. Fraser’s tax refund while helping others.

Unfortunately, the registered charity acted improperly and in fact, was in violation of Canada’s Tax Act. And even though Ms. Fraser acted in good faith and believed the $20,000 receipt was legal, she is still responsible for repaying the tax on the $10,000 she did not actually donate. Now she is facing a tax bill of several thousands of dollars.

Canadians are generous when it comes to charitable donations. According to Statistics Canada, nearly one quarter of taxpayers claimed charitable donations on their taxes in 2009 for a total of $7.8 billion. While the tax credit is one incentive, many Canadians are passionate about the charities they support. However, choosing the

more of a tax shelter opportunity. Unsuspecting Canadians are making donations only to face a large tax bill once the CRA revokes a license. A registered charity acting properly will only issue a tax receipt for the amount received from the donor.

If Canadian taxpayers make donations to a registered charity, they are entitled to claim a 15 per cent tax credit for the first $200 donated and then 29 per cent for the amount over $200. Spouses or commonlaw partners can combine their donations to gain a better tax break or taxpayers can save their receipts and claim multiple years to maximize the benefit.

The CRA has revoked the status of more than 10 charities in 2009 and has several ongoing investigations. Tax professionals across the country are warning people about the dangers of these types of scams.

Even if they are unwitting participants in the scam, they are still responsible for all their tax liabilities. So if a charity is offering a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is violating the Tax Act. This article provides

wrong charity can have tax implications later on.

Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has begun a wide crackdown on registered charities acting improperly with some trying to create

only an overview of the regulations in force at the date of publication, and no action should be taken without consulting the detailed legislation or seeking professional advice. Therefore no

No one can precisely forecast market tops and bottoms, and trying to do so is extremely risky for two reasons: Reacting to a market decline by selling an investment guarantees a loss that

Every individual who works, files a Canadian income tax return, and looks forward to secure retirement should consider having an RRSP. Here’s why: People who earn income through their employment or self-employment, can reduce their annual tax bill while saving for their future through an RRSP. For people who have a company pension plan, RRSPs add extra comfort that their retirement needs are met; for those who don’t have company pension plans, RRSPs may be the foundation for funding their retirement.

one spouse earns more income than the other can reduce their combined tax burden through a spousal RRSP. At retirement, an income-splitting strategy can be applied to reduce overall tax when the funds are withdrawn.

If you are planning on purchasing your first home or are interested in continuing your education, you can contribute to your RRSP, then use these funds as a source of financing.

If you anticipate fluctuations in your income because of maternity leave, career change or employment interruptions, the funds in an RRSP are always available to you.

Kodiaks ride four game win streak

By Murray Green

A pair of 3-1 victories has given the Camrose Kodiaks a season high four game winning streak. They beat the Calgary Mustangs and the Drayton Valley Thunder by identical scores, Jan. 27 and 28.

Former Camrose Minor Hockey player Jacob Kendall assisted on T.J. Brown’s opening goal and then scored one of his own in the second period that proved to be the game winner.

“We are playing well with the main focus to get on a roll and gain more points before the playoffs come around,” said Jacob. “It feels good around the room and guys are coming back from injuries. It is good to have more of a regular lineup. We have a couple more that will be back shortly.”

In the third, Josh Zablocki netted an insurance tally against the Mustangs. Goalie Patrick Gora stopped 21 of 22 shots directed his way. Camrose fired 45 at the horses.

Jacob grew up watching the Kodiaks. “Our family were billets over the years, so I always looked up at them, now its me and it is pretty cool. It makes me think about the younger players and take extra time with them because I was one of them once. I want them to look up to me,” he explained.

“All of the billets were good, but Keenan Boomer and Kyle Miller were two that I really looked up to. Playing for Camrose adds to the excitement because my buddies and family show up to watch.”

Jacob knows his role can change in games, but his focus is to help the team win games. “I see myself as a power forward that needs to play a strong defensive game. Everyone fits in and has a role to play and when everyone plays hard we see better results.”

He wasn’t the highest

scorer in midget, but he did have to make adjustments for junior hockey. “It is a faster game, guys are bigger and you have to adjust.

You can’t do the same thing you did in midget, or the puck will end up in the back of your own net. You won’t be here long then. Defence is huge and defence wins championships. If you don’t score you can still help out by playing solid defence.

After you get the puck out of your own zone, then you can think offence.

“Another thing is practicing every day. Your skills improve if you practice more and I really noticed that the first week I was here.

I felt stronger in camp just by skating every day. Going from 32 games a year to 60 is a big jump.”

Jacob Kendall

After a scoreless first period against Drayton Valley, Nic Correale garnered a marker just 18 seconds into the middle frame. Bryson Traptow added another tally before the Thunder were heard from. Zablocki again responded with the insurance goal.

Ironman netminder Gora turned away 24 of 25 shots, while Camrose fired 37 at the Drayton Valley cage.

“As we head into playoffs we want the 3-1 games.

That is what you win with, low scoring games. Because

some of our scoring power was out, we had to focus more on defence first and that has helped us,” Jacob added. “Our goalie, Gora, is huge for us and is very underestimated around the league.”

Camrose only has four more home games before the playoffs begin. Brooks visits on Feb. 7, Canmore arrives for two games on Feb. 9 and 10 and then Drayton Valley plays here on Feb. 25.

The annual Camrose Sport Development Society’s annual dinner and fundraiser will be on Saturday, Feb. 11.

Order your tickets at the Kodiaks office 780679-2603. This year’s entertainment is illusionist and mentalist Jeff Newman.

The 16th annual Skills Day will be hosted by Fountain Tire and the Kodiaks on Sunday Feb. 12.

Register at the local Camrose Fountain Tire and space is limited to 30 players in each of three sessions for atom aged players and younger. Players will receive a shirt, an autograph session with the Kodiak players and some food.

Former Kodiak Tanner Younghans, currently on the Sherwood Park Crusaders, announced he has committed to the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) for the 2017-18 season.

He is fourth in team scoring with 43 points, second with 20 goals and leads the entire AJHL with seven game winning goals.

“I’ve always looked at NAIT since I was young, both my parents went there and there are a lot of programs that are very suitable for me. The hockey is very good there, but the big thing is getting my education,” said Younghans.

Kelsey Theatre celebrates 25 years of entertainment

By Murray Green

The Kelsey Drama Society has been making people laugh for 25 years.

Every year in early February a group consisting of mostly rural people hit the stage for a theatre production that not only provides top notch entertainment, it sells out shows well in advance of the dates.

“We didn’t expect to be celebrating 25 years when we first started out. From a community point of view it has been terrific. There is a lot of pride in the event for everyone who has ever been involved. The involvement has been literally from everywhere,” explained Don Gregorwich, one of the founding members. “People often ask how can we put on such a good production with no people living in Kelsey. I think Kelsey has a population of a baker’s dozen. The success comes from both people in the immediate area and those who come from a far. Over the last 25 years there have been many people that have made it successful. Everyone from actors, to kitchen staff to those who faithfully bought tickets every year.”

Actresses and actors have often been the person down the road a few kilometres. “That has been the most interesting thing about

A scene from a past production features several local performers. This year’s play Meanwhile Back On The Couch will celebrate 25 years of theatre in Kelsey.

the theatre. We have lots of roles for people to play and everyone has taken on a role at some point. It is absolutely amazing how someone you think would never get up on stage, become such a superb actress or actor. People learn new skills, even light and sound people have gone on to help in other productions,” Don reflected on.

The play is possible every year because of the partnership between the Kelsey Drama Society and the Kelsey Community Society.

“The drama club puts

on the play from the stage.

The community does everything from outside to the stage. They are responsible for everything from ticket sales to cooking the meals.

The two have worked well together,” he shared. “Right from the beginning we have community spirit.”

Back in 1992, the Kelsey Hall was at a crossroads.

It was the last community gathering place in the hamlet southeast of Camrose.

However, it needed a lot of repairs.

“We were deciding if we should do something to make

it useful again, or go buy lumber and nail the doors shut. We were losing receptions to new nearby halls,” Don recalled. “Since then we have been to able to save money and help with renovations over the years.”

The drama idea was a perfect fit. “We had enthusiasm right from the start and people asked us what can I do. I can’t remember how many people were in the first play, but one person told me they were sitting in a coffee shop in Camrose and telling people they should get tickets to see the show. One person

Two sets of identical twins with same names

By Laurel Nadon

It didn’t take long for Ron Zimmer to notice the similarities when he got together with his identical twin brother Don and another set of identical twins, also named Ron and Don Zimmer. All four are similar in height and weight, wear glasses, and all are “hair challenged,” laughed Ron Zimmer, who lives outside of Camrose. They soon discovered they had also named their children similar names and that both men named Ron and their wives had the exact same retirement date.

Zimmer first discovered in 1992 that there was another set of twins with the same names when he was a teacher in Wembley near Grande Prairie with student teacher Wanda Brun.

“She told me that her brother-in-law, whose name was Don Zimmer, had a twin brother whose name was Ron. I told her that was funny because my name is Ron and I have a twin brother whose name is Don,” Zimmer recalls. “She thought that was quite the coincidence.”

The almost 62-year-old noted that he grew up in Daysland with his brother, who now lives in Evansburg, while the other twins were raised in St. Andrews, Manitoba and are two years younger. That Ron Zimmer still lives in Manitoba, and

Submitted Photo Pictured from left to right are Ron Zimmer (Camrose), Don Zimmer (Medicine Hat), Ron Zimmer (Manitoba) and Don Zimmer (Evansburg). The two sets of Zimmer twins all got together for the first time at the Canadian National Oldtimers Baseball Federation Championships in Medicine Hat on August long weekend last summer.

his twin Don lives in Medicine Hat. Don from Evansburg was camping in Pincher Creek at a campground that happened to be owned by the Don from Medicine Hat and his wife. The two began talking and discovered that not only did they have the same name, but they each had a twin with the same name. The two Dons have since gone blueberry picking together for two years in a row. The four men got together for the first time at the Canadian National Oldtimers Baseball Federation Championships in Medicine

Hat on August long weekend this past summer.

“It was kind of an unreal situation,” Zimmer said. “Not very often something like that happens. We hit it off right at the bat.”

They have yet to study their family trees to see if they are long distant relatives, but know that the ancestors of the Alberta twins were from Germany while the ancestors of the Manitoba twins were from Russia and Germany.

He noted that while there were a few other sets of twins at their school growing up, it is unusual for them to meet with other twins.

“Most folks still cannot tell us apart,” Zimmer said, adding that this mostly occurs with members of their home community. “I’d be walking through the mall and have people say ‘Hi, Don’. I’d say ‘I don’t think I know you, but you might know my brother’.”

Being a twin was also useful at the ball diamond growing up, where their coach couldn’t tell them apart and so they would switch back and forth between the positions of shortstop and pitcher.

The two sets of Zimmer twins plan to stay in touch into the future.

asked what could possibly happen out there. For some reason that has always stuck with me. We made it happen.

We hit on the right idea, the right people came together and we kept improving with new ideas.”

A 4-H drama club grew out of the excitement of the local theatre (that has since disbanded), which was the first in Alberta. “This was our way of getting younger people involved in theatre.”

This year’s production is “Meanwhile back on the Couch.” It is a comedy involving eight cast members. They have 12 performances from Feb. 10 to 25. On Feb. 12, Battle River Railway loads patrons at Forestburg and transports them to Kelsey to the event. For rail tickets call 780-384-4150.

“This helps us bring people into the community. The fact is we are at the end of a gravel road and we don’t have traffic going past us.

We know where Kelsey is, but the world doesn’t. Coming up with a new idea of using the train helps us,” said Don. “Most of us have been doing this for a long time, so we have to add new ideas and people. Maybe we need a new operating model, but we need younger people involved to keep it successful.”

The entire production, from cast and crew to greeters, is run by volunteers.

“The dedication of volunteers has been great, but dimensioning due to the facts of life. Over 25 years life changes for all of us in one way or another. It takes a little extra effort to get volunteers now. We need to take a look at putting on a quality show with different faces. We have had a core of 25 people that do a lot of work. We peaked at 200 volunteers, now we are about 65.”

Don said it has been gratifying to show the big cities that a small rural place can put on quality theatre.

“We have had CBC and different television stations out there to prove that nowhereville can do something special. That has been satisfying.”

Don hasn’t spent a lot of time on stage. “I have looked after getting volunteers for the most part.”

He said every year has had a good show. “One of my favorite shows over the years was Allocating Annie in 1995,” said Don. The dinner theatre is so popular that tickets for all seats for each of the performances are expected to be sold out. “We had ticket buyers show up at 4 a.m. to make sure they were first in line. This happened for years,” recalled Don. You can still purchase a few remaining Kelsey tickets by calling Margot Thirsk, 780-373-2418.

Parliament reconvenes in Ottawa

By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

Many of us are shocked and saddened by the horrific terrorist attack that took place at the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec in Quebec City. We offer our sincere condolences and prayers to the families who have had loved ones lost and to those still fighting for their lives, we offer our prayers for strength.

In Parliament, the Conservative caucus has important work to do, and our objectives in Parliament remain clear in 2017. We will continue to be the voice of the taxpayer. We are the only party in the House of Commons opposing the Liberal agenda of uncontrolled spending of billions of dollars they have borrowed and budgetary deficits that has already led to higher taxes.

More and more Canadians need to hold the Liberal government to account for their misguided and risky economic plans. We remain respectful, but unapologetic and forceful in taking on a government that has shown–in a short amount of time–arrogance and elitism. They have not been transparent and do not appear interested in the views of everyday working people and their families.

Since before Christmas, I have been contacted by constituents concerned about the Liberals plan to tax the health and dental plans of Canadian workers.

This is the most recent example of Canadians reacting to the mismanagement of the Liberal government and their continued attacks on the pocket books of the average working Canadian trying to raise their family (i.e. Canada Pension Plan payroll tax increase, national Carbon Tax on everything).

I appreciate very much hearing from so many constituents opposing this latest planned tax-grab.

According to media sources, the Conference Board of Canada will soon release a study estimating that 13.5 million Canadians will be taxed on their health and dental care plans if the Liberal government treats health and dental plans as “taxable income.” This will affect everyone in the family, so the estimate jumps to 24 million people who will be affected.

Furthermore, treating these health and dental plans as a “taxable benefit” will result in middleincome earners paying $1,000 (or more) per year in taxes (federal and provincial) as their ‘taxable income’ rises once the Liberals succeed in having these plans claimed as income.

The Liberals claim they were elected to support the middle class. During Question Period they hide behind ‘budgetary secrecy’ refusing to respond on their intentions for Canadians’ health and dental plans–no transparency. However, the finance department’s monthly Fiscal Monitor shows that the Liberal government ran a huge deficit of $12.7 billion over the first eight months of the 2016-17 fiscal year — compared to a $1 billion surplus during the same period in 2015-16.

The Liberals think that by taxing health and dental plan benefits they will be able to raise government revenues to help pay for their out of control spending.

In Battle River-Crowfoot, the ‘middle class’ is already on to them and opposing their scheme.

Watershed Alliance celebrates 10 years of community action Submitted

The Battle River Watershed Alliance (BRWA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and enhancing the land and water that drains into the Battle River.

The BRWA’s new emblem, representing the rich cultural and natural diversity of the watersheds.

The BRWA is provincially recognized as a leader in watershed education.

They are the central Alberta coordinators of the Caring for our Watersheds program, which asks Grades 7 to 12 students to submit a proposal on what they can do to improve their watershed. The BRWA also runs Experience your Watershed education programs, which are outdoor, place-based programs for students in Grades 4 to 12. These programs draw connections between the health of our natural environment and the health of our communities.

The BRWA believes adults should experience their watershed too! That is why the BRWA hosts com-

munity events including the annual Watershed Festival and Saskatoon Pie Baking Competition, and outdoor activities such as the Rolling down the River bike trip and outdoor art classes.

In 2011, the BRWA released Our Battle: The State of the Battle River and Sounding Creek Watersheds report. This report gives a snapshot of the health of the watersheds, including water quality, water quantity, biodiversity, land use, and socio-economic indicators.

The BRWA works with stakeholders to develop recommendations for how to improve watershed health.

For example, the BRWA worked with landowners to protect the water’s edge through the Ferry Point Reach and Ponoka Riparian Restoration programs. The BRWA also worked with the County and City of Camrose to develop a Source Water Protection Plan for Dried Meat Lake.

The watershed is lucky to have passionate landowners and stewardship groups working to protect

it. The BRWA supports and recognizes the work of stewards, including through the annual OTIS award. OTIS stands for being Outstanding in Stewardship and is awarded to a youth, a business or organization, and an individual for their efforts.

Stewardship can also be citizen science. The BRWA developed a water quality monitoring program called X-Stream Science in which students and stewards conduct sampling of streams.

Water quality data is collected at sites across the watershed and compared over time.

The BRWA is governed by a board of directors and has several working committees. There are five staff who work out of the Gateway Centre in Camrose. Contact the BRWA if you are interested in learning more, or would like to be involved.

You can call BRWA general manager David Samm at 780-672-0276, or email. You can also learn more at the BRWA website, www.battle riverwatershed.ca, and follow them on Twitter and Facebook.

For many people Valentine’s Day offers a perfect opportunity to express their love for that special someone in their life.

For new relationships, giving a gift may take on more of a casual and simple nature. Some suggestions include chocolates, lunch or coffee date, trinkets, flowers (smaller arrangements or a potted plant), even something that is quirky and fun.

If the couple have been together three to six months the gift may be a bit more personal such as inexpensive costume jewelry, journals, their favourite movie or songs or dinner date at a higher end restaurant.

Gifts for relationships lasting from six months to a year may start to have a little more significance and should reflect the recipient. Dinner at a favourite restaurant or a favourite dinner cooked, tickets to a concert, event or theatre, books or a re-creation of your first date.

If a couple has been together more than a year the gifts should signify the importance of the relationship. Perhaps household goods such as small kitchen appliances, crystal glassware, decorative ornaments or that sought after power tool. Planning a vacation or camping trip can mean quality time alone.

If the couple are newlyweds the expectations for Valentine’s Day may be a bit higher. Personal, well meaning gifts such as breakfast in bed, spa treatment day (could be a home spa day initiated by the giver), local events or a romantic drive with a well planned picnic (even in the snow.)

Couples that have been married for more than two years may be considering or have already started a family so gifts can help to reconnect the couple. Going out for a less expensive dinner (consider the possible cost of a babysitter), splurging on something for the home such as digital photo frame that journals your life together, new linen for the bedroom or a DIY project done together that can be displayed in the home.

Those relationships that have stood the test of time deserve to be celebrated and if the purse strings allow gifts such as long dreamt about vacations, custom made jewelry, that set of high end golf clubs or an away from home spa weekend.

No matter what stage of the relationship gifts do not always have to cost a fortune. The simple act of spending time together, appreciating all that life has to offer, never gets old.

Comedian Jimmy The Janitor will be cleaning up the room with laughter. The popular comedy character, is making an overdue return visit to Camrose.

He will be at the Bailey Theatre on Thursday, Feb. 9 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Jimmy is a stand-up comedy character created by broadcaster Sandy Gillis in 1987. He is the best of Maritime Canadian Comedy, rolled up into a colourful character. He has been called the Dean of Dust, the Squire of the Squeegee, the CEO of CLR, but mostly he’s been called to entertain audiences across Canada and the United States.

Gillis, or Jimmy if you prefer, is from Cape Breton.

After 25 years in broadcasting, he retired as partner and an operating director of the Maritime Broadcasting System to pursue his “funny business” as comedian Jimmy the Janitor.

He has appeared on CBC Radio and Television, CTV, the Comedy Network and has 11 comedy albums. He is also featured in “Jimmy Live” his own nationally syndicated daily radio show in 80 radio markets across Canada. Jimmy the Janitor sold out the Bailey Theatre on his last visit in 2012. He was also at the Canadian Bull Congress in 2015.

Jimmy’s brand of good clean Maritime fun is welcomed by audiences from all walks of life and demographics. His live performances touch on the personalities and funny situations in the Maritimes and are shows he claims he can bring his parents too.

Gillis approaches the entertainment business with the same style and professionalism he insisted upon, while running radio stations.

Tickets are available online at www.baileytheatre. com/tickets, at the Bailey Box Office 5041-50 Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. or by phoning 780672-5510.

Distinguished Professorial Lecture Experiments in Character Mask: Acting from the Outside In

by Professor Kevin Sutley Contemporary acting technique is based largely on the ground-breaking work of Constantin Stanislavsky who, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, used the new field of psychology to examine how characters behaved.

Since then, this “inside-out” approach to characterization has been the prevailing methodology used by stage and film actors alike. But what happens if, instead of beginning with what is going on inside a character’s head, we start by exploring how a character moves, or dresses, or even with what the character’s face looks like? Can young actors use masks to gain access to a character’s emotion and physicality in a way that psychological exploration does not so easily allow? Can these investigations then lead back to a deeper understanding of that character’s motivation and psychology?

He will be appearing at the Daysland Palace Theatre on Wednesday, Feb. 15, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the DaysArts (Daysland and District Cultural Arts Society) series and then at the Bailey Theatre in Camrose at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16 in the Rock ’n’ Blues Review series.

He has been described as a cross between soul and country, similar to Otis Redding, or Percy Sledge. There is nothing more powerful than a good song; something no one knows better then legendary blues man Byrnes.

He lives and breathes music. For nearly 50 years he’s crooned, drawled, belted, hollered and sweet-talked more songs into a microphone than most people ever get to hear in a lifetime.

He was born in St. Louis, Missouri in blues country. He grew up on the city’s north side where one of the neighbourhood bars had Ike and Tina Turner as the house band. As a teenager going to music clubs, he and his buddy were often the only Caucasian people in the place.

“We never had any problems. We were too naïve

and had too much respect for the music and culture.

They knew it, they could tell,” said Brynes, in his website biography.

By age 13, Jim was singing and playing blues guitar.

His first professional gig was in 1964. Over the years, he has had the good fortune to appear with a virtual who’s who of the blues. From Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker to Taj Mahal and Robert Cray, he has been on the blues highway for 45 years.

Byrnes moved to Vancouver, BC in the mid-’70s after

years of drifting, working odd jobs and playing music everywhere he could. In 1981, he put together a band that became a staple of the local music scene. In 1986, the Jim Byrnes Band played 300 nights.

His fame as an actor grew from his television and movie roles with highlights including the Wiseguy and Highlander series.

His first love has always been the blues. His evocative, smoky vocals are found in a truth that doesn’t come overnight. He launched his Burnin’ album soon after his band formed, followed in 1987 with I’ve Turned My Nights into Days and 1995’s Junoaward winning That River.

To celebrate a decade of great musical collaborations and the 250th anniversary of St. Louis, he recorded St. Louis Times. This is Byrnes’ most personal record to date with reminiscences of his childhood home in St. Louis.

Tickets for the Daysland show are available at the door, or by calling Sharon at 780-374-2403.

In Camrose, tickets are available online at www.bailey theatre.com/tickets, at the Bailey Box Office 5041-50 Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. or by phoning 780-672-5510.

Jess Moskaluke played at the kickoff before, but now she has moved to the main stage.

She is an addition to the Friday evening line-up and is one of country’s newest stars.

In just the last few years her pop-infused country stylings have risen her from her hometown in Saskatchewan to award show stages and television screens. Her debut album, Light Up the Night, proved that her story in country music is just getting started.

Last year, BVJ brought in stars from television. They are doing it again.

Known for his role on the hit musical drama series Nashville, Sam Palladio is taking his musical skill from the small screen to the big stage on Saturday at Big Valley Jamboree.

With singles like “It Ain’t Yours to Throw Away” and his duets with Clare Bowen including “Wake Up When It’s Over” and “I Will Never Let You Know” he’s proving that his talent can extend to any stage.

Alberta singer Adam Gregory is back with a brand new album and a string of singles for Canadian country radio. The CCMA winner and double Juno nominee will be introducing his

new music and sharing his past hits like “No Vacancy”, “Horseshoes” and “The World Could Use a Cowboy.” Watch for Adam’s new album coming in the summer around BVJ time.

Canadian country music singer Madeline Merlo is hoping for a big year, including a BVJ performance on Friday afternoon. Her new single “Whatcha Wanna Do About It” is the fourth release from her debut album. It’s a toe-tapping follow-up to last summer’s catchy “Honey Jack,” which received widespread airplay and attracted both country-and pop-music lovers alike.

The Wine Soaked Preachers are another Alberta act and they’ll be bringing their collection of roots country with them for boot-stomping honky-tonk.

They’ll be playing Sunday afternoon with music from their latest album, Same Old Town.

These artists will be joining Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Little Big Town, Willie Nelson, Kacey Musgraves, Chris Young, Gord Bamford, The Washboard Union, Williams and Ree. Tickets for the 2017 Big Valley Jamboree are on sale at www.BigValleyJamboree. com or call 1-888-404-1234.

BVJ announces more performers

By Murray Green

The 25th annual Big Valley Jamboree takes place Aug. 3 to 6 and several artists have been added to the list of headliners.

Headlining the Thursday night Kickoff Party will be a pair of the hardest-partying BVJ veterans to ever strut across the stage, Big & Rich. These country rockers both came from successful careers in country music when they first got together in 1998, but together their upbeat intensity is at its peak, as shown on their latest album Gravity.

Way back in 1974, Rolling Stone ran a cover story on Tanya Tucker with the headline that said “You’re Gonna Hear From Me.” Truer words have never been spoken. For four decades, her sultry voice and vivacious stage presence has helped to make her one of the most admired and respected female vocalists in the country music genre.

Tanya’s reign includes 23 Top 40 albums and a string of 56 Top 40 singles, 10 of which reached the number one spot on the Billboard charts, and she’ll be sharing her music Saturday evening.

This is Tanya’s third appearance at Big Valley Jamboree.

She was in Camrose in 1993 and 1998.

Allan Broder plays the tenor saxophone, sings vocals and is the band manager. He is the founding member. Since the formation of the band in 1970, the group has surpassed their wildest expectations.

The success is attributed to hard work, extensive promotion, recording and touring.

He has performed with the orchestras of Bob Hope, Mel Torme, Della Reese, Wayne Newton, Eartha Kitt, Mart Kenny and Tommy Banks.

Reiner Piehl plays the keyboards, bass and sings vocals. He plays a variety of instruments including keyboard, saxophone, clarinet, flute and guitar.

The Emeralds are no strangers to Camrose, as they have played here on many occasions. There will be a late lunch and a ring raffle during the evening.

By Murray Green

The Kidney Foundation Northern Alberta and Territories Branch presents the film “Memento Mori” at the Bailey Theatre in Camrose on Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m.

Memento Mori is an evocative cinematic journey alongside the living and the dying, bringing to the screen a human drama never-before captured on film.

It has remarkable access to Canada’s busiest organtransplant hospital, you can witness one of the most profound experiences in any human life: the loss of a child

and the agonizing decision this tragedy demands.

This film was created by two acclaimed Canadian documentarians, director Niobe Thompson and producer Rosvita Dransfeld. Memento Mori grips the viewer in a relentless, emotional embrace—propelling us from moments of unexpected joy to unbearable heartbreak— until the very final frame.

The production immerses audiences into a world few of us understand, but one day will encounter.

Factory-ordering a new Ford car back in 1934

By Murray Green

We rarely think about the added accessories for new vehicles today. Buyers tend to check out a few vehicles from inventory and pick the one that is best equipped for their needs. In the early years of manufacturing, more emphasis was placed on factory ordering direct by consumers.

I went back to check out a few approved accessories on a brand new 1934 Ford.

You could order tandem wipers to give the front seat passenger clear vision and also aided the vision of the driver. It was efficiently operated by the regular wiper. The added cost was $3 including installation.

Extra bumper guards made of alloy steel and chrome plated for an elegant look was a popular addition. These guards will provide additional protection to your car and add a touch of smartness, the promotion read and can be easily attached to both front and rear bumpers.

A set of two installed cost $2.50.

A cigar lighter could be installed for just $1.95.

It was a real convenience, which and could be quickly installed on the instrument panel of any car.

If you had trouble seeing at night you could add a spotlight. A real utility, particularly for those who drive a lot at night. Easily operated from the inside, it threw a long, bright beam to the road, or to signs and house numbers as directed. You could have one installed for $14.50.

Today, we expect a multi-CD player, DVD player and full sound in a stereo system. Back in 1934, you even had to order a simple AM radio.

“The entertainment of the ‘air’ travels with you when your car is equipped with the Ford Auto Radio,” the brochure listed. It was complete in one unit and fit right into the finish panel.

It was efficient, selective, conveniently located, all electric, all-in-one. Its tone was rich and colourful.

The $44.50 cost included installation.

However, there was an additional $1.95 charge to install a spare wheel antenna on the Cabriolet, Roadster

and Phaeton models.

Decades earlier, cars often overheated on long trips. You could monitor your car’s engine temperature without even pulling over by having a radiator heat indicator installed.

The total price was just $3.95.

This heat indicator was built in combination with the fuel gauge and fit into the same opening in the instrument panel.

If you drove dusty country roads you wouldn’t want to be without the oil bath type air cleaner.

In localities where extremely dusty conditions were encountered, this air cleaner was a valuable addition, the information stated. It prevented harmful dust and dirt entering through the intake. Price installed, $7.

If luxury wasn’t to be spared, then the radiator cap ornament was a welcome addition. This attractive radiator cap and ornament had been designed for those owners who would like an added touch of smartness. The greyhound was used to symbolize the

fleetness and flexibility of the Ford.

The ornament and cap were made in one piece, which was heavily chrome plated to match the chromium trim of the radiator shell. A chain was attached to the underside of the cap with a snap lock that practically eliminated the possibility of theft. Price installed was $2.75.

Vacationers didn’t want to leave home without the stylish luggage carrier. Ford advertising of the era states: Here is a new and exclusive luggage carrier—ideal for tourists, shoppers, sportsmen and commercial men. It can

be used on Tudor sedans, four door sedan or Phaeton.

It is finished in the new durable Ford enamel and available in all Ford body colours. This luggage carrier is built of cold rolled steel. It is sound proofed and completely dust and waterproofed. All exterior fittings are chrome plated.

It cost $37.50 installed.

Other popular accessories were licence plate frames, a governor and seat covers.

While vehicle shopping has changed over the years, one thing has remained constant–consumers love finding the right vehicle!

Vikings hockey team wins series over Briercrest

By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings have a three game winning streak again after 6-0 and 4-1 victories over the Briercrest Clippers on Jan. 27 and 28.

In the first game, Augustana received scoring from six different scorers.

Evan Warmington, Adam Osczevski, Ryan Procyshyn, Paul Lovsin, Travis Mayan and Patrick ThompsonGale collected single markers for the Vikings.

“Playing Briercrest allowed us to work on our special teams. We used the games as a stepping stone to get ready for the playoffs,” said Vikings forward Jeff Lorenz. “We wanted to get ready for NAIT and I thought we played well.”

Goalie Curtis Skip

earned the shutout by stopping all 33 shots he faced.

“Our compete level was high and it was a good build up towards NAIT. Briercrest always makes us work hard and even at 6-0, they are not giving you anything. You have to work for the ice and it is a good test for us because they don’t let up,” he added. “NAIT are still the champions of this league and that is the way we are approaching them.

We view them as one of our toughest challenges of the year. When we play them, it is always a good game.”

Lorenz scored and added three assists to pace the Augustana offence in the rematch. Lovsin added two tallies and Owen Sobchak netted a goal for the Vikings.

“Defence is still first

and that is one of our goals going into post-season.

To have the lowest goals against. If we go into playoffs with a low goals against average, we will be competitive with any team. It starts in our own end and it leads to offence,” said Jeff.

Harry Fredeman turned away 18 of 19 shots to record the victory. The Vikings recorded 45 shots on goal.

“It is huge having three good goalies. Even in practice to have someone to shoot at that gives it their all helps the players. We have confidence in all three goalies.”

Concord ia T hu nder sn app e d Au g u st a n a’s f ive ga me w in strea k in Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference hockey action on Jan. 20.

Augustana built a 2-1 lead after the opening period on the strength of goals from Beau Taylor and Thompson-Gale. But the Thunder roared in the second and third frames to pull off a 4-2 upset in Camrose.

“We didn’t play a bad game, but we erased it from our memory with a better game on Saturday,” recalled Jeff. “We learned that nothing is given in this league and you have to come to the rink ready to play every game.”

Goalie Skip 25 of 28 shots for the Vikings with the last marker going into an empty net.

The Vikings started another run with a 3-2 victory in Edmonton the next evening. After a Thunder 1-0 first period lead, Augus-

tana rallied in the second with three markers from Lukas Biensch, ThompsonGale and Taylor.

Netminder Fredeman turned away 23 of 25 shots for the win. The Vikings recorded 33 shots on goal.

“We want to win five of the last six games and earn one of the top two spots and receive a bye in the first round. It is huge for us.

We want to have a goal for the last six games. Home advantage is huge in best of three series.”

The Vikings next home game is in the EnCana Arena on Feb. 17 against the Red Deer Kings. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Augustana ends the regular season with SAIT in Camrose on Feb. 24.

Local Royal Purple Lodge hosts a very special guest Submitted

On Thursday, Sept. 22, the Alberta Royal Purple Lodges Association provincial president Anita Kitz attended the Camrose Royal Purple Lodge meeting.

Kitz was travelling the province to speak about her vision for the Association for 2016-17 and learn about each lodge in order to best fulfill her role as president.

The Royal Purple began in 1914 in Vancouver, BC as the Order of Royal Purple, a group of individuals with a desire to serve their community. In later years it became know as the Royal Purple of Canada. After 100 years of raising funds to support the needs of people across the country, the Royal Purple is now an incorporated organization known as the Canadian Royal Purple Society with a new logo and tag line “Your Cause is Our Cause.”

Their first annual general meeting was held in Kenora, Ontario in 2015 with Regina McLean of Kamloops, BC as the society’s first national president. In 2015, Ann Marie Helferty of Sault St. Marie, Ontario was elected as national president and Terry Paziuk from Cutknife, Saskatchewan is now the national president.

Submitted Photo The Camrose Royal Purple Lodge hosted the Alberta Royal Purple Lodges Association provincial president Anita Kitz at the Sept. 22 meeting. Kitz, at podium, spoke to members about her theme of Together We Can. Also seated left to right are president Isabelle Meadley, Sandra Howald and Marion Czapp.

Provincially, local lodges in Alberta belong to the Alberta Royal Purple Lodges Association. The Association met in Sundre for the 23rd annual meeting with 74 members in attendance, representing 21 out of 29 lodges along with eight past provincial presidents.

The new provincial executive for 2016-17 are past president Esther Smith (Bentley), provincial president Kitz (West-

lock, Edmonton Lodge) director/first vice-president Joan Turner (Edmonton), director/ second vice-president Yvonne Borrowman (Medicine Hat), third vice-president Barbara Schmidt (Vermillion), treasurer Olga Matvichuk (Edmonton), director/conductor Laverne Kittlitz (Elk Point), secretary Dawn Hodgins (Viking) and chaplain/director Killian Konieczny (Mannville).

The Alberta Royal Purple

Association (ARPA) gives to a variety of childrens’ charities including Camp Kindle, Camp He Ho Ha, Ronald McDonald House, Compassion House, Stollery Children’s Hospital, Camp Horizon and the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation. A total of $48,000 was donated to these charities at the meeting in June. ATB matched the ARPA $10,000 donation to the Stollery Children’s Hospital and CP Has Heart Pro-

gram is going to match the ARPA donation of $10,000 to Alberta’s Children Hospital Foundation.

The Royal Purple is busy year-round planning and coordinating fundraising activities and events to continue to support children in Alberta, providing everything from hot school lunches to funding for a family to buy a wheelchair for their child.

Any family or group may approach the Camrose Royal Purple for assistance. If you are interested in joining an organization focused on supporting the needs of children in your community, contact the Camrose Royal Purple Lodge at 780608-2408.

Kit spoke of being in the Royal Purple as a rewarding, fulfilling and guaranteed blessing to children all across Alberta. Every year the provincial president has a theme and this year Kitz’s theme is “Together We Can.” “I believe together we can achieve anything,” said Kitz.

“Every individual has unique talents, gifts and ideas to contribute and when we value these talents and collaborate as a team, focused on our goals, anything is possible.

Camrose United Church Rev. Richards retires

By Murray Green

Camrose United Church Rev. Dr. Alan Richards hung up his robe for the last time as co-leader of the congregation at the end of December.

Rev. Richards spent the last nine years in the local community supporting many people along the way.

He was born in England and grew up in Central Africa, Montreal, Toronto and Calgary. After studying at St. Andrew’s United Church College in Saskatoon, Rev. Richards was ordained in 1976. He served congregations in Newfoundland, Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC before he answered the call of teaching.

“I went from high school to university to seminary to ministry. I also fell in love with the way stories show us human beings persevering in relationships and with working in a community context.

I stepped back from ministry for a while, studied English lit, and went teaching,” he explained. “That gave me a view of things from the pew.

It was a kind of re-training in what it means to be part of the church in our times.”

Prior to coming to Camrose United, he taught English at Red Deer College for six years. He also taught at Concordia University ​College before going to Red Deer. He has a PhD in E ​ nglish L ​ iterature from the University of Alberta.

“After Premier Ralph Klein’s change in university policies and changes within the United Church of Can-

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose United Church Rev. Alan Richards retired 40 years after being ordained.

ada, the two things came together for me. I felt a call to come back into church ministry and use my ‘retraining’,” said Rev. Richards.

“Camrose was looking for a second minister and I really wanted to be part of a ministry team. That was also something Mary Ann Pastuck was looking for. We clicked, and during the seven years we worked together we made that happen. With her diaconal approach, she helps people feel welcome, be who they are, and share their own gifts and abilities.

She was a great help and I learned a lot from her.”

This is a direction that the future is headed. “People need to know they belong and that it’s okay to live with our questions. What matters is that we form community.

There are still challenges ahead for Camrose United,

but what it has going for it is the sense that people are connected here,” said Richards. “The people who work behind the scenes in so many ways and making contacts brings everyone together.

More skills and hearts are at work than just the ministry team.”

The United Church team also consists of Rev. Liz Carter-Morgan, minister of music Darryl Dewalt, office administrator office manager Bonnie Smith, and facilities manager Jack Kamphorst. ​​ “As a team, we have people to bounce ideas off of and because of that you can get more things done. It gave me time and energy to do the things that I was good at doing.

“Camrose has been a fascinating place to work. It took me a little while to fig-

ure things out because it is not a rural town, but it is not a big urban city. It is a real mix of people and that is interesting.”

The church congregation is getting smaller and the cost of operating a facility is always increasing. “That is a challenge facing all churches.

People give in different ways and tend to help organizations and causes that matter to them. It means being creative. Like raising money for a new energy efficient boiler, for building our labyrinth for meditation and supporting young families’ ministry” he said. “The church is also used for many activities. It’s not just a Sunday-morningchurch. I think that’s good because it is a busy place and is part of the community.”

During his nine years in Camrose, Rev. Richards had the opportunity to age

gracefully with the congregation. “I showed the movie On Golden Pond and we stopped it once in a while to discuss things and I learned what it was like to grow into a senior. It led to other discussion groups and gave me an interest in the work of the Camrose Seniors’ Coal​ i​tion. It got me to sit down and listen to seniors’ stories. That was the fun part.

Mary Ann and I also started study groups like “Living the Questions.” We expected eight people and 22 showed up. It taught us that there is a hunger for this kind of thing and what we could create was a safe place to talk about our faith.”

Developing the vegetable garden, creating a labyrinth, the Top Scared News and the 90th Anniversary celebrations have been highlights for Rev. Richards.

“Lots of people came together. It shows we care for the environment, that people have food to eat for spiritual growth and wanting our congregation to be connected.”

He is married to Loraine Anderson and currently lives on an acreage on Red Deer Lake. “There are going to be some things I miss, but we built a ​ ​shed in my yard.

I want to do some gardening and some writing. Some short stories perhaps. Maybe publish some sermons the way I meant to say them,” laughed Rev. Richards. “I’ll see what God has in store for me. It’s like being called again.”

Jennie Mary Smith (Hauser)

Arlene Catharine Hay

December 11, 1929 ~ January 14, 2017 The family of Mary (Jennie) Smith of Camrose would like to give special thanks to the numerous people who touched our mother’s life over the past many years and certainly in the past couple months.

Bethany, Deer Meadows staff and residing neighbours, your kindness and care always made Mom feel like you were part of our extended family.

St. Mary’s Hospital, Dr. Leoni, Dr. Botha, Dr. Mindy and the many nurses and staff on Ward 4 and SCU, your relentless, compassionate care was amazing and made each day a positive one.

The Camrose health care system is blessed to have your dedication.

To our many friends and family who provided food, flowers and a shoulder to lean on or hugs when needed, thank you for your kindness, caring and support.

Derek, Bart and the Burgar Funeral Home team, your professionalism and guidance through our process certainly provided us with great care and your attention in every detail was appreciated.

Thank you to Father Larry, Father Jacobsen and St. Francis Xavier Church for the beautiful service and prayers through Mom’s final journey to be with our Lord.

I’m Free Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free, I’m following the path God has laid, you see.

I took His hands when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored so much, My family, my friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts, and peace to thee, God wanted me now; He set me free.

Alice will be remembered for her fierce independence, sense of humour and talent for getting the job down on her own terms. The image of Alice racing around town in all four seasons on her scooter with Bailey the Corgi between her feet won’t be soon forgotten.

Alice leaves behind her six children Eleanor Luard, Lloyd Graham, Loretta (Jim) Long, Yvonne (Michael) Smith and Thea Graham. She also leaves behind 14 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Alice’s fervent wish was to be helpful to science after her passing and this wish was realized on January 26, 2017 when the University of Alberta accepted her anatomical donation. Alice requested a simple Memorial Mass which will take place at Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at 2:00 p.m.

A special thanks to Dr. Mike Benusic, Veny and Jan on Unit 2 at St. Mary’s Hospital for making Alice’s last days as comfortable as possible and for treating us like family during this difficult time.

May 9, 1923 ~ January 26, 2017 The family of Arlene Hay wish to announce her passing on January 26, 2017 at the age of 93 years. She spent her final years at a wonderful care facility, Glastonbury Mews in Edmonton.

Arlene was born in 1923 to parents Harriett and Hervey Glenn.

She spent her early years in the Lousana area and obtained her nursing degree following high school. She was an excellent and caring nurse. In 1951, she and Gordon were married. Their family included Bruce (Judy), Bette (Laurie), Sharon (Grant) and Karen (Murray), as well as 14 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and three great great-grandchildren.

She was active in her church, community and enjoyed bridge and social times with her extensive circle of friends. Those who knew Arlene and enjoyed her friendship knew she was always available to lend a hand and often showed up with homemade baking. She and Gordon travelled extensively after their retirements, enjoying their fifth wheel trailer and several foreign tours and cruises. Her favorite thing was spending time with family who benefitted from having her as a role model for a life well-lived. Her generous, loving and positive spirit are memories which will be cherished by all.

Arlene was predeceased by her husband Gordon in 2003; daughter Karen in 2007; infant son Donald in 1961; and son-in-law Laurie in 2016.

She will be loved always and missed forever.

Joyce passed away after a sudden illness on January 7, 2017 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose, Alberta at the age of 81.

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Clifford, three brothers (Garry, Grant and Keith) and one sister (Laverne).

She is survived by her five children Ailsa Thomas of Regina Beach, SK, John (Brenda) Mohan of Moose Jaw, SK, Dale (Erin) Mohan of Fox Creek, AB, Angela Mohan (Michael Silver) of Galiano Island, BC and Leanne (James) Coughlin of Camrose; and daughter-in-law Laurie Mohan of Fox Creek, AB. Joyce is also survived by her sister Patricia White of Brandon, MB; 11 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Of note is her special friend of recent years, Mr. Jim Davenport of Camrose.

Joyce was born in Sandy Lake, Manitoba on March 22, 1935, the eldest of six children born to Matthew and Anne Lilley. She and her siblings grew up in the Elphinstone, Onanale and Rivers areas of Manitoba as her father found work, before she married in 1957.

Joyce practiced nursing for much of her adult career, including six years in the Canadian Armed Forces. She managed the Southside Trailer Park in Camrose for over 20 years before retiring to care for her ailing husband Cliff.

She loved her home, her adopted city of Camrose, and her church. She felt safe and accepted here, declining the offers to move closer to family. Joyce was a woman of faith, testifying to God’s provisions and healings to whomever was within earshot.

She had a sense of humour, and was especially able to laugh at herself. She loved shopping at thrift stores and garage sales, and her rooms were filled with brightly coloured outfits, purses, shoes and jewelry.

While she will be missed by many, she has been enthusiastically welcomed into the arms of her saviour Jesus!

A memorial service will be held on February 11, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at CityLights Church, Camrose, Alberta.

Diving for improvement

My volleyball kneepads stayed bright white and squeaky clean last year, my first year on a mixed team after a long hiatus from the sport.

When games began again this fall, I vowed to get the kneepads dirty this year and give them more action than going up and down my leg at the beginning and end of the night.

Slowly but surely, I can see my skills improving. I’m moving faster, getting lower and practicing the elusive overhand serve. We play best of five games, so once we have either won or lost three games and are playing a strictly for fun game, I bring out the overhand serve so that I have the chance to improve.

When I played in college for the JAWS team (Journalism and Wordsmith Society, of course), we were not professionals by any stretch of the imagination.

We cheered like crazy when my one teammate would miraculously serve the ball over the net. My husband came to cheer us on and often commented later on just how bad we were. Then both my husband and I played for our church league and I don’t think my kneepads hit the ground once in the years we played.

(The most valuable lesson I learned was don’t apply deodorant before putting contacts in; deodorant flecks will try to dry out your eye, which will not help with volleyball. This also taught us that I can’t open my eyes under water, which makes it very difficult to flush my eye under a tap, though my husband tried diligently.)

My recent volleyball nights have me thinking about improving life skills in general. I have been making a very lame attempt to read a parenting book for many moons now, but keep picking up the other more exciting book I have on the go (The Happy Isles of Oceania; Paddling the Pacific by Paul Theroux). I am committing myself to make a serious go at the parenting book each Sunday and nerd alert: I am even making notes.

As I age, I am theorizing that if I am going to spend time doing something, I might as well be doing it well or at least, to the best of my ability. If you’re going to be a parent, try to be a good parent. If you’re going to play the piano, try to play the piano well. If you’re going to be a gardener, try to be a good gardener, and so on.

In the movie Chasing Mavericks, based on a true story, 15-year-old Jay Moriarty is mentored by Frosty Hesson to learn how to ride California’s Maverick surf break. Instead of just teaching him about surfing techniques, Hesson also expected the young protégée to learn about himself, what he feared, and survival techniques for taking a wave wrong. He had the youth write over 55 essays for him on topics such as fear, and then he would ask for rewrites and spend hours discussing the end result. He wanted the teen to be an amazing surfer, but more importantly, to be an outstanding overall person as well.

Like in volleyball, there will be setbacks or times when things aren’t going our way. Instead of dwelling on it, we need to “shake it off” as one of my teammates tells me. Think about how we could approach the situation better next time, and then let it go.

Sometimes I dwell on things for too long, wasting precious sleep time because I’m reliving an experience, wishing I had used softer and kinder words or made different choices. Sometimes it takes time to pass for me to stop rehashing it in my head and just shake it off.

I’m not expecting to become an Olympic volleyball player. But there is a certain satisfaction to learning new skills and honing them. Volleyball has also been a muse for my writing, with most of my columns written after a game night. (Sometimes with a cream soda slush in one hand to drown my sorrows after a heartbreaking game loss … improving doesn’t always mean winning.)

FOOD FARE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Matt Martin, left, Emily McLlroy and Annika Olesen were eager to dish out cuisine from Norway at the International Food Fare on Sunday, January 22 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Healthy brains, healthy lives Submitted

As we get older, our minds can stall and lapse.

You might wonder if this is a “senior moment” or the early signs of dementia. While dementia is more common as we age, it is not part of normal aging.

MyHealth Alberta describes dementia as a loss of mental skills—such as memory, problem-solving, and learning—that’s bad enough to interfere with your daily life. It usually gets worse over time According to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada, there are some changes in a person you may witness as Alzheimer’s progresses that include the following.

Cognitive and functional abilities. A person’s ability to understand, think, remember and communicate.

Emotions and moods.

A person may appear apathetic and lose interest in favourite hobbies or become withdrawn; Behaviour: reactions seem out of character.

Some common reactions include repeating the same action or words, hiding possessions, physical outbursts and restlessness.

Physical abilities. The disease can affect a person’s coordination and mobility, to the point of affecting their ability to perform day-to-day tasks such as eating, bathing and getting dressed.

The brain’s development begins well before you are born and never stops.

Healthy brain development while you are younger can reduce the risk of dementia later in life. A strong foundation increases the chances of living a longer, happier and more independent life; whereas a weak foundation increases the risks of developing dementia.

Some factors that can reduce risk include controlling the use of drugs and alcohol, protecting your head from injury when doing activities such as cycling and skiing by wearing a helmet and continuing to strengthen your

CORPORATE CITIZENS

brain through education opportunities.

What is good for your heart is also good for your brain. Whether it be walking, jogging, swimming or yoga, if it gets your heart pumping and your blood moving, it can help your brain stay healthy. One theory is that the increased blood flow to the brain due to exercise helps increase thinking and memory skills, and could protect against dementia, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

Coping with stress and maintaining good mental health are also important as are keeping in touch with friends and family and doing activities you like. Remembering and thinking, whether through board or card games or attending lectures or courses, preserve brain function.

Remember, it’s never too late to start to improve your brain’s health.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Staff at the Vision Credit Union downtown donated $1,550 in proceeds from the Corporate Christmas Party Fundraiser to Camrose Women’s Shelter executive director Nora-Lee Rear. Making the presentation were Deb Chalmers, left, Stacey Wesley and Salina Edwards.

The City of Wetaskiwin has had two successive years of record setting building permits (in dollars).

Alberta has approval for two pipelines and maybe Keystone XL. We are getting two value-added petrochemical plants. Only the negative Alberta bashers are predicting doom and gloom.

I am pleased to announce several more grants to our constituency. We are committed to making life better for Albertans by strengthening communities and improving the quality of life across the province.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The University of Alberta Augustana second year physiotherapy students hosted their sixth annual bonspiel benefiting Special Olympics Camrose on Nov. 19 at the Rose City Curling Club. The students presented Special Olympics with $1,875, as well as generating funds for a future graduation ceremony.

Camrose Outreach School offers high school independent learning

By Murray Green

The Battle River School Division refreshed a high school facility over the summer with a new name and renovations for the Camrose Outreach School.

New principal Laura Swanson spent her summer painting classrooms to prepare for the fall session at the Community Centre. Last fall, she was also found in the kitchen preparing breakfast and lunch at the school in a position that goes beyond her job prescription.

The school has a variance of students. “We have adult learning, Learning Together program for young moms and about 130 Grade 9 to 12 students with a range of needs and who like the flexible schedule,” said Swanson.

“There’s a range of needs that we serve. Some of it’s to do with their personal lives, maybe they’re independent already and working, so they need a schedule that is more reflective of that. Because we’re a little more module based and it’s more independent learning, we set up an attendance schedule with each student. Some come full days and some

come for evening classes,” she said.

The school starts with each individual student and then builds the program around them. “The intent is really to design a program that meets the needs of the students,” added Battle River School Division communications coordinator Diane Hutchinson.

Housed in a public building instead of a school offers a closer connection to the community. “There’s a slightly different program availability for the students in this building, just in recognition of the different kinds of lives that they have and that they need some additional support sometimes to access services in the community, such as health services coming on site,” continued Hutchinson.

Principal Swanson has added her excitement and professionalism to the outreach school. “I started in administration at Hay Lakes where I was vice-principal. In 2007, I went to Charlie Killam School and was the viceprincipal until the spring.

I was transferred and it has worked out perfectly.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Outreach principal Laura Swanson started her second semester on Feb. 1.

At first you think it seems like a stretch from coming out of a really traditional mind-set, but I love it here,” said Swanson. “I knew half of the students coming here that went through the system. It’s just a different dynamic than a traditional school. It is very student centred. It’s all about when they can come in to class, what works for them and us building programs that work for each student independently. I think that is very unique.”

Besides the name change, the school has gone to a four-day week, eliminating the Friday half day that wasn’t well attended anyway. “We increased the length of each day as well as the evening classes,” Swanson said.

The results have shown higher attendance and students can work at jobs on Friday, so it fits into their schedule better. Students learn on a modulebased deadline based on agreements with teachers.

They can learn at their own schedule, as long as the work is complete on an agreed time.

“It is beneficial to students because they have so much one-on-one assistance in the classroom if they need it,” explained Swanson.

In fact, the system is working so well that other schools are looking at the way it does things.

“That’s really the way traditional high schools are going. The high school redesign, high school flexibility kind of things that the province is working towards is really going to mirror what’s happening now in the outreach environment,” said Hutchinson.

“We try and balance the courses out, so not all of the students are taking the same course at the same time,” added Swanson.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

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.

A business person contacted Camrose Police Service when it was observed a male urinating in their parking lot. Staff at the business advised that his actions have been occurring on a regular basis. An 82-year-old man was issued a $500 ticket for urinating in a public place contrary to a city bylaw.

Police received information that a 26-year-old male had not been heard from since breaking up with his girlfriend. Police were able to locate the male and he was fine.

Jan. 30

A 54-year-old male was charged with driving while suspended after his vehi-

cle was stopped due to an obstructed licence plate. He was additionally charged with driving without insurance or registration.

A complaint was received from a Camrose hotel that a male and female were trying to sell jewelry and electronics and it seemed suspicious.

A second complaint was also received from another hotel.

Police were unable to locate the vehicle.

A vehicle was stopped after police observed that it was serving all over the road. The female driver had taken too much medication so EMS was contacted and she was transported to St. Mary’s hospital.

Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce president Tanya Fox gave an emotional final address to chamber members and guests during the annual general meeting held on Feb. 1 at the CRE. Fox began by thanking the board and executive director Sharon Anderson.

Fox introduced the new president, Julie Girard, who thanked Fox for her

If views are what you want then this magnificent Park Ridge walk-out bungalow overlooking Stoney Creek delivers. With tranquil walking trails within a few steps, the location promises a wonderfully balanced lifestyle.

The open concept living on the main floor features a sitting area, the ideal place to sit, catch your breath and be surrounded by the natural light from the alcove of windows. Adjacent to the sitting room is a large formal dining room that also shares views of the beautiful valley.

The kitchen looks like something out of a home fashion magazine with gorgeous countertops and stylish backsplash and includes a large island, breakfast bar, coffee centre and amazing appliances including two convention ovens.

The master suite is a homeowner's

retreat with a five-piece ensuite boasting a large centre jetted tub amidst another bank of gorgeous windows overlooking a wooded area. Imagine relaxing in the tub and being surrounded by the serenity of nature.

The basement is exceptionally well finished with a large family room adjoining a games room and separate bar area, a well appointed home office all of which feature those amazing views.

The exterior of the home is nothing short of spectacular. The grounds are tastefully landscaped and flow into the natural greenspaces of the valley. The outdoor area includes an amazing barbecue centre and large concrete patio space for entertaining and the view of the home from the back is unforgettable.

The 30 by 30 garage is not only the ideal place to store your car collection but doubles as a great escape with heated flooring, crown molding and a place for your big screen television.

Included in the purchase are top end kitchen appliances, washer, dryer, air conditioning, built in sound system and speakers, 80 inch television, pool and Foosball table.
