Clark Builders foreman Curtis Kushnerik shares an update on the pool renovation/expansion project with City of Camrose Recreation Facilities Senior Operator Greg Kuchnerek.
The Camrose Aquatic Centre pool expansion and renovation project is well underway. A setback to the completion timeline and to the overall budget was identified in the fall. Clark Builders discovered hidden structural steel brackets and wooden roof beams had deteriorated, after decades of service. Revamped engineering and repair work is now being undertaken. More hazardous material than originally thought to be in the building also requires safe removal. At this point, Camrose City Council has approved an additional $500,000 to the project contingency fund. Exact costs remain to be determined.

On the bright side, weather has cooperated and the exterior work is proceeding as per plan. The build to date reveals an impressive facility. Most people are likely to be surprised by the enormity of the new addition which features an eight-lane, 25-metre competition pool. The brand new waterslide promises to be a huge hit with users, as will the 20-person hot tub. The new leisure pool tank, with a lazy river and a very shallow tots' play area and spray feature, will provide hours of fun and should attract an expanded audience. The design includes a brand new outdoor water splash park, new meeting and party rooms, bright, spacious change rooms and more. Completion will be later than first planned, due to the unforeseen structural issues. Hopefully, it will occur in early to mid-2020.

Stamp prices set to increase soon By Murray Green
It will soon cost you more to mail a letter. Canada Post will be increasing the cost of a domestic stamp to 90 cents from 85 cents on Jan. 14 in the first postage rate increase since 2014. Stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane for domestic items weighing 30
grams or less is increasing by five cents. The price of a single stamp will increase to $1.05, up from $1. While usage varies, Canada Post estimates the impact of the price increases to be less than a dollar a year for the average Canadian household and about $14 a year for the typical small business. Prices
will also increase for mail to the United States and international destinations, and for domestic registered mail. Canadians can avoid the increases by purchasing permanent stamps at the current rate before the new rates take effect. Canada Post publicly proposed the increases in June 2018.

From laughing stock to world champion
My inbox is full of invitations to set intentions and goals for 2019. In a different context, I was recently introduced to the concept of “marginal gains,” which led me to the story of the British cycling team. If you follow sports, you probably know the story, but it was new and inspiring to me. It’s a great story in this season of setting up for a new year. How bad was it? In 2002, the British Cycling team was known as a laughing stock within the sport. In its 76 year history, British Cycling had won just a single gold medal. It had not won a Tour de France race in 99 years. The team’s record was so bad that some companies refused to sell cycling equipment to British Cycling because that would damage the company’s reputation! How good is it? Between 2002 and 2008, the British Cycling team improved so much that at the Beijing Olympics, they won seven out of 10 gold medals in track cycling. They repeated that performance at the 2012 London Olympics. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, British Cycling again dominated, winning twice as many medals as the next closest country. Beyond Olympic wins, in Tour de France events, British cyclists have won in six out of the past seven years, including five consecutive years from 2014 to 2018. What made the difference? Marginal gains. New coach, new approach. In 2002, Sir Dave Brailsford became head of British Cycling. Sir Dave is a former professional cyclist who also holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) an unusual combination. While working on his MBA, he’d been fascinated by “kaizen”–a Japanese word for “improvement.” Kaizen is a cooperative committed approach to creating continuous improvement. It’s based on the idea that small, ongoing positive changes can create major improvements. In business, kaizen refers to activities that continuously improve all functions and involve all employees from the CEO to assembly line workers. Sir Dave thought these techniques could be applied to cycling. He gambled that if the team analyzed everything they could think of that goes into competing on a bike and then improved each element by one per cent, they would achieve a significant increase in over-all performance. Their consistent stunning record over the past 10 years speaks to the success of that calculated gamble. Look at everything! British Cycling analyzed the requirements of each event and what it would take to win. For example, they analyzed how much power a cyclist needs to get the start required for a winning time. Then they figured out what kind of training each cyclist needed to be capable of that power. They analyzed everything from the aerodynamics of their bikes to the mechanics area in the team trucks. They noticed that dust gathered on the floor when trucks were parked. Dust is bad for bikes and cyclists. They painted the floor white so it would be easier to see and clean the dust! They improved the cyclists’ diet. They hired a physician to teach the team to use antibacterial hand gel and other techniques to reduce infections. Later, when Sir Dave became general manager of the UK’s Tour de France team, they redesigned the team bus to improve cyclists’ comfort and recuperation during travel time. Nothing was too trivial. Each small gain contributed to huge over-all improvement. Small gains for big change Back to this season of setting directions for a new year. In sports, business, health care and aviation, results of kaizen or marginal gains have been phenomenal. We can apply it in our lives. Having an over-arching intention to improve some area of life beats New Year’s Resolutions that seldom last until February. The concept of kaizen or marginal gains means we can look for tiny easy improvements in every part of life (Who’d have thought dust under a truck could impact Olympic gold?). Tiny improvements are ones we’ll actually make, and add up to big over-all gains. It’s heading towards a happy new year. ***

Cochrane returns to our home By Murray Green
The last time Tom Cochrane performed a concert in Camrose, it marked the opening of the Camrose Recreational Centre (then Edgeworth) back in 2007. Just over 11 years later, the Canadian music icon is bringing the Tom Cochrane and Red Rider band to Camrose to play at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on March 27. Tickets go on sale on Jan. 11. Tom will be playing his major hits, as well as some tracks of his new album Take It Home. To quote the title of
Camrose Registry Ltd.
one of the songs on his feverishly anticipated new record, Tom is now “Back In The Game.” True, the Canadian rock icon has never stopped creating or performing, but Take It Home is his first album of new material since 2006’s No Stranger. Happily, Take It Home reveals an artist still at the top of his game, exploring new lyrical and sonic terrain, while remaining grounded in the values that have made him one of Canada’s most beloved rock ‘n’ rollers ever. Over the course of a long and illustrious career, now spanning more than
40 years, the pride of Lynn Lake, Manitoba has covered more terrain than the Franklin expedition. From early beginnings as a folkbased singer/songwriter playing the coffeehouses of Toronto’s famed Yorkville scene in the early ‘70s, Tom became the driving force in adventurous rockers Red Rider prior to achieving massive international success (over six million copies sold worldwide and diamond-sales status at home) with breakthrough 1991 album Mad Mad World and its hit “Life Is A Highway.” Continued on page 9

• Be active. It relieves stress, builds energy, and increases your resilience. • Soak up some sun. Make sure blinds are open during the day, with a direct path to where you sit or work. Better yet, get outside in the sunshine. • Try artificial light for 30 minutes each morning. Consider a SAD lamp that has 10,000 lux, the measurement of the light’s intensity. You’ll find them at medical supply stores and many drugstores. • Take a Vitamin D supplement–3000 IU per day may help lift your mood in winter. • Eat three healthy meals a day and have healthy snacks between meals. For information, visit www.healthyeatingstartshere.ca. • Stay hydrated. Most adults need nine to 12 cups of water per day. • Cut down on alcohol and caffeine. They can worsen SAD symptoms. • Try practising mindfulness. Accept your thoughts without judging. Even 15 minutes per day can lift your spirits. If you are concerned about your mental health, call Health Link at 811.

Cochrane returns to our home Continued from page 6
Since then, he has continued to create potent new material, while cementing his place in the hearts of Canadians through crowdpleasing performances from coast to coast and his unwavering work on behalf of humanitarian causes and organizations. An Order of Canada recipient and Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee, Cochrane has won eight Juno awards and numerous other industry honours, including the 2013 Allan Waters Humanitar-
ian Award and a Grammy nomination. In recent years, Cochrane stepped off the music industry treadmill, but his creative itch never disappeared. “It gnaws at you when you haven’t created something for a while,” he explained. “I tried my hand at painting again, but I didn’t find it as satisfying as I used to. There were a number of reasons I wanted to make another record. First and foremost, if you’ve got wings you fly. You start to feel that voice, that muse, the urge to get
something off your chest. That never goes away, it may just not be as intense at certain times.” Music has been in his life as long as he remembers. When he was 11 years old, he sold his train set to buy a guitar. “There is a conditioned cycle that has been imprinted on me since I was about 26. You get out there, you read, you talk, you travel, you experience, you do this stuff that creates a life, then you write about it and attempt to record it. Sometimes that

is really painful, sometimes it is really joyful. There is drudgery to it. It’s like flying an aircraft in some senses, with moments of complete boredom and drudgery and moments of complete terror, then you bring the whole thing in for a safe landing.” The aviation analogy is fitting for this son of a bush
pilot (Tom is also a pilot, and was a proud honourary colonel for six years with the 409 squadron in Cold Lake). He has now touched down with a 12-song collection for loyal fans, while potentially attracting many new ones to the fold. Sonically and lyrically, Take It Home manages to be both timeless and timely.

the composer created. “We balance this bit of experimentation with songs that are well-known in the choral world for their gorgeous harmonizations, works from the Renaissance that build amazing layers of sound

Camerata presents Light, a concert of music that celebrates light in our lives, on Sunday, Jan. 13 beginning at 3 p.m. in the Messiah Lutheran Church, Camrose. “At this time of year, when the days are only just beginning to turn back toward lengthening, it’s a joy and a pleasure to be able to bathe our senses in the beauty of a concert of choral music,” said Joy-Anne Murphy, director of Camrose Camerata. “We’ll explore light returning, light that keeps the darkness (both literal and figurative) at bay, and light that dances. Journey with us as we bring to life sacred songs of healing and awe, songs of the light-filled seasons of Christmas and Epiphany, as well as folk songs, Renaissance motets and contemporary explorations of the beauty of the human voice,” she added. “As part of this concert, we are performing a fascinating piece from Canadian composer R. Murray Shafer called “Epitaph for Moonlight,” in which he combines his ideas around soundscapes and aleatoric (or random) musical sequences. What results is a beautiful exploration of what human voices in a choir can sound like when much of our usual music notation is changed (or even taken away),” explained Joy-Anne. Audience members will be invited to look at the written score to see what challenges and changes

The Rose City Roots Music Society is bringing in The Royal Foundry to start the year off at the Bailey Theatre on Friday, Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. The Royal Foundry are known for their up tempo folk pop that comes from harmonious alignment. Band members Bethany and Jared Salte from Edmonton are married and, as the duo write music inspired by their marital life along with life lessons and challenges, they create thought-provoking lyrics, and mesmerizing melodies. What started as a folk duo quickly evolved into a full throttle Alt-Pop quar-

Bethany was a preacher’s daughter who developed a love for the visual arts. Jared, on the other hand, grew up surrounded by music as the son of a touring rock musician. They had no intentions of starting the electro-folk-
pop trio that is now The Royal Foundry, but after the release of All We Have and receiving international exposure through the John Lennon Songwriting Competition and ABC’s Rookie Blue, they knew they had discovered something special. The band is currently on their Don’t Know Tour, in western Canada.

Nordlys lineup brings great films By Lori Larsen
Great movies and a wonderful social outing are in store at this year’s Nordlys Film and Arts Festival, running from Feb. 15 to the 17 at the Bailey Theatre. The three day lineup of films will have attendees exploring a journey from Northern Canada to the UK and Russia and other fascinating locales. Friday, Feb. 15
The festival will once again kick off the weekend of events on Friday, February 15 at 6 p.m. with the traditional Black and White cocktail hour, followed by the opening ceremonies at 7 p.m. The first film of the weekend is the internationally acclaimed Maudie, with producer Mary Sexton in attendance for a question and answer session. Following that will be the dark comedy from the UK, The Party, starring Kristen Scott Thomas, at 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16
Saturday’s entertainment begins at 12:30 p.m. with the 2017 Russian film Loveless, winner of the 2017 Cannes Jury Prize and Russia’s submission to the Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film. At 3:15 p.m., attendees are treated to a little lighter fare with the delightful Swiss film The Divine Order. The evening films will continue at 6:30 p.m. with the Canadian film No Roads In, with producer in attendance.
At 8:45 p.m., crowds can toe tap to the tunes of the Blake Reid Band followed at 10:30 p.m., with the Nordlys traditionally Saturday late night edgier film Heavy Trip. A dark comedy from Finland about a metal band hoping for a breakthrough at a festival in Norway. Sunday, Feb. 17
This year’s classic film selection will be the suspenseful USA The Woman in the Window, starring Edgar G. Robinson and Joan Bennett from 1944, showing on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. The festival is delighted that Nordlys’ Honorary Professor of Classic Cinema, Dr. Trond Trondsen will once again be on hand to wow the audience with one of his inimitable introductions. Sunday continues with a breathtaking Canadian documentary, This Mountain Life. Audience members will be mesmerized with the amazing recollection of a 60 year old woman, and her daughter, who dared a 2,300 km traverse of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia from Squamish to Skagway. The film includes stories of a variety of types of people who share a passion for life in mountains including: a group of nuns inhabiting a mountain retreat to be closer to God, a photographer buried in an avalanche, an impassioned alpinist, a focused snow artist and a couple who has been living off grid for nearly 50 years. This Mountain Life also
has a local connection with Sister Claire Rolf who grew up in Camrose, attended Camrose Lutheran College and skied competitively at the national junior level. Sister Claire along with the film writer, Jenny Rustemeyer, will be in attendance for a question and answer session. At 6:30 p.m., catch the German film The Silent Revolution based on a true story about a class of high school students who pledged to show their support for the victims of the 1956 Hungarian uprising. Concluding a weekend packed with entertainment, is the Canadian film Weirdos, a story of two small town teens who run away in search of the boy’s mother, the world beyond their small town and ultimately their own identities. Weirdos was nominated for many awards including Molly Parker taking home three awards for best female actor in a supporting role. The closing ceremonies will take place at 10:30 p.m., wrapping up an exciting weekend of films and entertainment. Attendees are encouraged to take this opportunity to vote for their favourite film of the event, the winner of which will be honoured with the Pretty Hill Award. For more information on the festival and how to purchase tickets, including the early bird rate that is available until Jan. 14, visit the website at www.norldysfestival.com.

City roadwork planned for 2019 By Lori Larsen
In 2018, Camrose residents were detoured and delayed, somewhat, during a busy year of roadwork throughout the City. What lies ahead for 2019, will require residents to continue being patient and cooperative during some major and minor road construction. City of Camrose director of engineering Jeremy Enarson explained, “In 2015, the City conducted a full condition assessment of roads within Camrose, prioritizing the roads that needed work done on them. “We have been plugging away at those over the last couple of years,” he said, adding that the work was being done within the planned $3 million annual budget for roadwork. The City plans on re-doing the condition assessment of the roads in Camrose in 2019, but in the mean time, the roadwork planned for 2019 includes completing some work from the 2018 projects and various other roadways that were prioritized. Completing 2018
Enarson indicated that the City will first focus on completing roadwork from 2018 projects that were not entirely completed, due to delays in the 48th Avenue Bridge Project and contractor availability. “Two main projects we started that did not get completed, include the residential area on the north end of 50 Street, north of 54 Avenue. The contractor completed the concrete work (sidewalks and curbs) but didn’t start asphalt.” The other project Enarson said needed to be completed is the service road located between Mount Pleasant Drive and Grand Drive on the north side of 48 Avenue. Once again the concrete work was complete, leaving the asphalt to be done on the westbound lanes of 48 Avenue and on the service road. One project that the City didn’t start in 2018, was the milling and re-paving of 68 Street/ Camrose Drive between Marler Drive and Parkview Drive. This roadwork was scheduled to happen in 2018. However, due to delays on the 48 Avenue Bridge project, the City had to defer that work until 2019.

ronmentally conscious as well by recycling the millings. The last project that received special consideration from council is located in the Cascades subdivision, west side of 68 Street. “It has been a long time coming and the residents have been very patient,” said Enarson. “The subdivision work has not been completed by the subdivision developer; so council included, in capital budget,
a project for the City to go in and basically take over the subdivision to fix any of the asphalt, trench settlements and clean it up by finishing off roads.” While it is normally the responsibility of the subdivision developer to complete the roadways, the City, with council’s approval, will be using securities from the subdivision developer to ensure the project is completed to the satisfaction of the City. “We will be using the subdivision developer’s moneys, that were held in security, to complete the work, then any funds left in that security after the work is completed, will be refunded to the subdivision developer.” Funds used to complete all the other projects, as noted, will come from the $3 million 2019 planned budget for roadwork.
Court issues hefty fines in wildlife case By Lori Larsen
As a result of investigations ensued by the National Park Wardens, Camrose Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch (FWEB) district officer, Lorne Rinkel assisted in the investigations and subsequent charges laid on two Camrose and area residents, which resulted in a court appearance and some hefty fines. “The two suspects illegally transported firearms in Banff National Park on two occasions and transported animal carcass (two bighorn sheep) in a National Park as well,” noted Rinkel, of the offences committed by the local residents. Officer Rinkel interviewed one of the male suspects. Subsequently, three separate search warrants were executed to aid in the recovery of evidence required for the investigation and prosecution of the matter. The case was heard in a Canmore court, where the two suspects received a total of $ 21,000 in f ines and the court ordered forfeiture of the two trophy Bighorned Rams.
“Each suspect was fined $7,000 for transporting the bighorn sheep carcasses through the National Park and $3,500 for transporting their firearms through the National Park, on four separate dates,” explained Rinkel. Rinkel noted that the Alberta FWEB will assist any law enforcement agency throughout North America and beyond, if the circumstances dictate. “Interagency collaboration is very common as violations frequently, provincial and international, do cross borders.” Some of the funds collected in the issuance of fines to guilty parties are used to further enhance the Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster protection and mainCamrose Fish and Wildlife tenance of Alberta’s Enforcement Branch District Officer, Lorne Rinkel assisted natural resources, in a National Park investigation ensuring future genresulting in two Camrosians erations can enjoy receiving large fines. the great outdoors.

Year of the grouse By Lori Larsen
The Camrose Wildrose Outdoor Club will be hosting an informal gathering to discuss planning for 2019 events that engage communities along the entire Battle River, from headwaters at Battle Lake to Battleford, on Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. at the Camrose Heritage Railway Station, 4407-47 Street. The meeting will involve discussion on the Year of the Grouse project, initiated in an effort to bring about awareness of the dwindling numbers of grouse throughout Alberta. “This project is one of the projects that leads up to the main event for the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Artist Awards at Maskwacis to be held on Sept. 21,” said member and co-chair Glenys Smith. “The month-long celebration will consist of a region-wide creative event including the City of Camrose and Camrose County.”

RECYCLE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE
Al Zimmerman Photography Ruffed grouse are seen throughout the province and while they can easily blend into the landscape the male drumming can be heard for a long way.
Smith expounded on the reason for the Year of the Grouse initiative. “Grouse are considered endangered throughout Alberta. Grouse numbers are significantly lower across the Battle River Region. In the spring 2018, only four grouse appeared in a place where there used to be hundreds of them. Our aim is to bring back the grouse. We hope to rescue the grouse from threatened status through education of threats to habitat and their life stages and needs.” The event will include information on the grouse and how people can make a difference along with information on the Alberta-wide Schools Writing Contest. A story inspired by a real mother goose on Mount Butte at Battle Lake and a message in song will be presented by co-chair Jane Ross. Glenys Smith will give a presentation on the importance of saving and replanting prairie grasses for the habitat of the grouse. Presentation by University of Alberta Augustana Campus professor of environmental science and geography, Glen Hvenegaard will include an overview of grouse in this area, brief ecology of sharp-tailed grouse and ruffed grouse, status of grouse, conservation concerns and actions needed. Everyone is invited to attend the event and find out how to be part of the solution. For more information contact Glenys Smith by email at glenyscanadian@gmail.com or by telephone at 780-781-4649 or at the Station at 780-672-3099.
If you wish to participate, please bring your tree to 4402-51 Avenue (Recycling Depot) before February 28, 2019. Your Christmas tree will be chipped for use as mulch material and soil conditioner (no artificial trees please).

So CAPP members are becoming frus-
trated and the message they are sending to the federal government, is to have the consultations in a meaningful way but as quickly as possible, in order to alleviate some of the concerns facing the industry. While Montgomery said all three proposals will help with capacity, the sector cannot continue to rely on the US as their only market. “Doesn’t make sense from a business perspective to not only have one customer, but to rely on one customer when that customer is pushing you out of your own markets.” He stated that solutions include accessing additional markets to move the product off the continent, but also have more efficient and effective systems in place. “We are committed at CAPP to work with government to meet their policy objectives, even on things like climate–do it in a way that makes sense for business and doesn’t add extra cost. The US is heading in the opposite direction. They have reduced the regulatory burden, withdrawn from the climate commitment, they are opening up new lands to oil and gas development and reducing the corporate tax rate. The results are increasing production and investing in the sector dramatically. “Even during the Obama years, the US increased oil production by 77 per cent and natural gas production by 35 per cent, that is what we are competing with.” For more information on what CAPP is doing to meet the challenges and proposing solutions, visit the website at www.capp.ca/. Chamber president Julie Girard advised attendees on the importance of presentations such as this and the role oil and gas industry has on the City. “When one piece of our economy is impacted, all pieces of the economy are impacted; all of these issues are really relevant to business here in Camrose and everywhere in Alberta.”
Prevent the flu By Lori Larsen
Inf luenza takes no holidays and one can be stricken with symptoms any time of the year, but of course this time of year people are even more susceptible. Getting vaccinated (anyone over the age of six months) can help protect you and those around you, specifically children and elders. Caused by a virus that attacks the respiratory system, influenza is a serious illness and is easily spread from person to person. While some people (pregnant women, seniors, children and individuals with underlying health conditions or compromised immune systems) may be at greater risk for severe complications, without immunization even healthy Albertans are without protection against this illness. Each year, influenza
vaccine is developed to protect us against the strains of virus likely to circulate in our community. Immunization prompts your immune system to respond and produce antibodies that will arm you against the influenza viruses should you be exposed to them again, throughout the season. Alberta’s annual influenza immunization program is on now, offering the influenza vaccine, free of charge, to all Albertans six months of age and older. Vaccines are being offered at drop-in Alberta Health Services’ influenza immunization clinics or through your local pharmacist or physician. For more info, including local clinic schedules, visit www.ahs.ca/influenza, or call Health Link at 811.

of Albertans, including those vulnerable to commercial tobacco use and its harms. Alberta Health Services Tobacco Reduction Program and Lander Treatment Centre are partnering to pilot an eight-day residential tobacco treatment program for individuals seeking a more intensive tobacco cessation program. Applications will be accepted into this program on a continuous basis. When eight applications have been received, a program date will be set and applicants will be advised. Participants will be referred into the program by a health professional who will complete a thorough assessment and provide counselling support to the participant before and after treatment. Giving up tobacco is easier said than done. Giving it up may be one the toughest challenges you face in life, but it will also could be one of your most rewarding. Everyone who uses tobacco can benefit from quitting and gain the health rewards that come with it. When you quit cigarettes and other tobacco products— no matter how old you are— you can decrease your risk of early death, heart attack and stroke, cancer, lung disease and sexual and reproductive problems. There are other benefits to quitting as well, which are more immediate. For example, within 20 minutes of quitting smoking, your blood pressure drops to a level similar to what it was before your last ciga-
rette. Within eight hours, the carbon monoxide level drops in your body and the oxygen level in your blood increases to normal. Within 48 hours, your chances of having a heart attack start to go down and your sense of smell and taste begin to improve. Within a year of quitting smoking, your risk of suffering a smoking-related heart attack is cut in half; so is your chance of getting cancer in your mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas. And within five years of quitting, you have the same chance of having a stroke as a non-smoker, according to Alberta Health Services. Being tobacco-free also means you’re not exposing loved ones to second-hand and third-hand smoke, and you’re setting a positive example for those around you who may be inspired to quit as well. Those are some pretty big rewards when you think about both yourself and your loved ones. People use tobacco for different reasons, and there is no shortage of good reasons to quit. Longevity, quality of life, the cost of cigarettes or chewing tobacco, the impact it has on your friends and loved ones: these are all factors that may motivate you. But even with all of the motivation, quitting can still be a difficult process The nicotine in tobacco is an extremely addictive substance and when you stop using tobacco, your body starts to recover and you may feel strong symptoms of this recovery. Quitting can

Promoting a healthy, productive workforce By Murray Green
Nine researchers received $11.9 million, to find ways to help Canadians with disabilities and chronic health conditions participate in the labour force. The number of people with disabilities, chronic conditions, and work-related health issues is growing. Canada’s workforce is also aging, and more and more working Canadians are devoting considerable time and energy to caring for children or aging parents. For some Canadians, physical and mental health issues and disabilities are a barrier to finding jobs, and for those already employed, they can be an
obstacle to remaining in the workforce. To address these challenges, Ginette Petitpas Taylor, Canadian Minister of Health, announced an investment of $11.9 million, over five years, to support partnerships led by nine researchers across the country, that will seek solutions to the physical, mental health and agingrelated barriers that prevent Canadians from participating in the workforce. “All Canadians deserve the opportunity to engage in meaningful employment, and through this initiative, we are building an evidence base to find out what accommodations, tools, and policies are most
effective in supporting Canadians’ participation in the workforce,” said Taylor. The funding is provided under Healthy and Productive Work, a joint initiative of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), that supports the goal of maintaining a healthy, productive, and inclusive workforce in Canada. “Our country is at its best when everyone is included. Creating a workforce where all Canadians can participate without worrying about barriers, brings us one step closer to the realization of an acces-
sible Canada. Research is essential to identifying the best approaches to create the right conditions for a healthy and inclusive workplace for all Canadians,” said Kirsty Duncan, minister of science and sport. “These grants demonstrate what is possible, when the granting councils collaborate to bring the best Canadian researchers from the health and social sciences and humanities together. Although barriers remain for too many Canadians living with physical and mental health issues and disabilities, my hope is that this research creates the new knowledge we need to tackle the issue of workforce inclusion,” said
Dr. Michael J. Strong, president of Canadian Institutes of Health Research. “The future of our country depends on our support for a healthy, productive, and inclusive workforce. We have an opportunity to learn from these expert researchers and scientists, including Canada Research Chairs, to better understand how we can foster labour force participation–including persons with disabilities, older people, and those with chronic disease–so that our workforce truly reflects Canadian society,” said Dr. Ted Hewitt, president of Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
strong, with relaxing leading the list for positive health associations for consumers. “Tea is a very versatile drink. Each variety–black, green, oolong, herbal–has a unique taste, so Canadians can try different flavours, finding the ones they like best,” said Louise Roberge, president of the Tea and Herbal Association of Canada. There’s a tea for every palate and a time for every
tea, with research showing that Canadians predominantly drink black and green from early to mid-day, herbal and decaffeinated in the evening. Our multicultural society also plays a large part in the popularity of tea in Canada, as Canadians of all backgrounds are united in their love of tea. English, Chinese, Indian, Japanese and African
tea traditions have all become part of our multicultural mix. A single cup of tea is steeped in healthy benefits that can help refresh and revitalize all Canadians. Drinking a cup of hot tea everyday can lower blood pressure, decrease cholesterol levels and can aid in overall heart health. Flavonoids found in tea has natural dietary compounds in plants, that pro-
tects the body through antioxidant activity. A single cup of tea has 750 times more flavonoids than a cup of coffee and six times more flavonoids than a cup of orange juice. “While most Canadians have heard of the health benefits of green tea, it’s important to know that all varieties of tea are good for your overall health,” added Roberge.
Start the year right, with a relaxing cup of tea By Murray Green
Now that the holidays are over, just sit back and relax with a cup of tea. Drinking tea has many health benefits. Stay on track with your renewed self-care goals for the year and include a cup of tea.

Dry cold weather hard on health By Lori Larsen
The cold dry winter weather can play havoc with our health, besides seasonal flus or colds our skin can take a beating. The following are some suggestions to help prevent winter wear and tear on your skin. Dry skin can be caused by many factors including: wind and cold, exposure to sun, excessive cleansing, contact with irritants, smoking, excessive heat or low humidity in our homes, overconsumption of alcohol, certain medications and of course skin related illness such as eczema, rosacea or psoriasis. The skin is your body’s largest organ and is responsible for protecting all your other important organs, muscles and bones. Begin by keeping your skin hydrated every day. After you bathe or shower gently pat down your skin (avoid rubbing) then apply a good quality, fragrance free moisturizing product. Use gentle pH balanced skin care products free of harsh soaps and fragrances. Eat to protect your skin by choosing fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish and plenty of water. Refrain from smok-

ing, which, besides other negative health effects, can cause premature aging of the skin. Consume alcohol in moderation. Alcohol has a dehydrating effect, which in turn effects the skin. Get plenty of sleep. Proper sleep allows your body the opportunity to rejuvenate, including the production of healthy cells. Always use sun protection, even if it is overcast. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 all times of the year.
Pump up the humidity by using a humidifier and ensure you keep it clean and change the filters frequently. Protect your skin against harsh conditions by wearing gloves when outdoors or handling irritants. Turn down the water temperature and reduce the amount of time you spend in the shower. Protecting your surface is one of the first steps in protecting your overall health.

The automotive section of
Hesun created mini version of ‘02 Olds By Murray Green
The 1902 Oldsmobile has been recreated with kits over the years, but none have looked like Brian Hesun’s model in Tofield. “This is a scratch built replica of a 1902 Oldsmobile. It is built on a 50 per cent scale. I originally started building it in 1998 and it became road worthy, sidewalk worthy, in early 2003,” he laughed. It brought back memories of people building cars from plans that were printed in Mechanix Illustrated or Science and Mechanics from the 1960 and 1961 era. When asked about the thought of building a replica, he had a story to tell. “When my wife and I were in Mazatlan, Mexico, on our first trip, we rented a vehicle that was very similar to this. We drove it all over Mazatlan and we had a hoot. It was nothing but fun,” recalled Brian. It didn’t take long for him to want a similar car of his own. “I’m always building something, whatever suits my fancy at the time. I had a partner who helped me build this, but they passed away and I ended up with this car,” explained Brian. “We started out with a photograph of a 1902. We went through all of the records and books that we could to try and find out what it looked like. Basi-
MINIATURE CLASSIC
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Brian Hesun built his 1902 Oldsmobile replica from scratch to be his daily driver. It is a design that combines an old horse buggy with a small motor. Ransom Eli Olds started mass production of vehicles around 1900.
cally, all it is, is like a buggy that they put a motor to.” It was in fact a horse buggy with a motor. That is how Ransom Eli Olds started his plans to launch a production vehicle.
FUN FACTS
The original drive on the Olds was two speeds forward, no reverse. The gasoline-powered Curved Dash Oldsmobile is credited as being the first mass-produced automobile, meaning that it was built on an assembly line using interchangeable parts. It was introduced by the Oldsmobile company in 1901 and produced through 1907; 425 were produced the first year, 2,500 in 1902 and over 19,000 were built in all. The car’s success was partially by accident–in 1901, a fire destroyed a number of other models before they were approved for production, leaving the Curved Dash the only one intact. The name curved dash references the footboard, which was directly transferred from the carriage designs. This feature protected the passengers from the dirt and mud thrown up by the horses’ hooves. The runabouts weighed only 650 pounds and sold for $650. Steering was by a centre tiller and suspension was comprised of a long leaf spring on each side connecting the front and rear axles. The body was made of wood and attached to the top of the springs. Any rocking motion was eliminated by the small transverse fullelliptic springs in front.
“It has tiller steering because they didn’t have a clue what a steering box was, or a steering wheel.” He started the project with some wood to make a body. “We basically took a chunk of wood and carved away until it looked like an Oldsmobile. We used a 20-horsepower John Deere transaxel, added a Triumph motorcycle chain drive and a six-horsepower Tecumseh engine and then everything else under there is custom built to fit. A lot of the things we had to build up to three times. It is a conglomeration of leftover parts,” revealed Brian. “The lights on it came off the front porch. The lights work, but they are not headlights. It is more of a conversation piece.” The car is a series of drive sprockets, chains, gears and shafts. “I had a professional seamstress build the convertible top. I added the flag
to complete the mobility scooter look,” he laughed. “I drive it around town all of the time. I classify it as a mobility scooter. But I have room for groceries and a passenger. My grandkids
drove it in the Canada Day parade this year. We’ve had it out for four weddings this past summer and it is in a lot of photographs now. It is just something to have a few chuckles with,” said Brian.

Yellow vests have low-key protests By Murray Green
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Sandi Francis wants to keep Canada free from strong ties to the United Nations that could drastically change our country forever.
The Camrose Yellow Vest organization is a lowkey version of the Alberta, Canadian and France versions protesting government decisions. The local group can be found at the corner of 48th Avenue and Grand Drive, on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with signs and a quiet protest of the federal government decision to support the United Nations (UN) with immigration floodgate proposals, carbon taxes and delayed pipelines. “I first got involved in the yellow vest movement in Edmonton in solidarity with France. I was going to Edmonton before I realized we had a group in Camrose. My concern is what is happening in Canada and our sovereignty. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed an agreement on compact immigration with the UN, which has basically surrendered our sovereign borders to the UN. I’m concerned about the safety of our children and our grandchildren. That is why I got involved, for my grandchildren,” said Sandi Francis, spokesperson for the local group. Giving the power of immigration to the UN
means that they control what happens in Canada, not Canadians. “We are a peaceful movement with no violence. We have no political affiliation. The UN and its takeover of the sovereignty endangers every Canadian in my opinion,” said Sandi. “I want to bring awareness to the group and to people in the area. Most people are not aware of what is happening. We want people to come out and support us.” Here in Canada, the protests are more about the Prime Minister’s push for a flood of immigrants to Canada, carbon tax and the lack of movement on national pipelines. “The global compact of immigration was signed without the consent of Canadians. Trudeau should have asked Canadians. We are against mass migration to Canada. I read they want to bring in 100 million people into Canada by 2021. That many people in a short time will bring a lot of problems and will be taxing on the medical and social system,” offered Sandi. The yellow vests movement or yellow jackets movement is a populist, grassroots political move-
ment for economic justice that began in France in 2018. An online petition posted in May 2018 reached 300,000 signatures by midOctober and was followed by regular mass demonstrations, beginning on Nov. 17. The movement is motivated by rising fuel prices, high cost of living and claims that a disproportionate burden of the government’s tax reforms were falling on the working and middle classes. “People should stand up for being Canadian. I want to bring awareness to the community, so they know the dangers we are in. We have to unite. I’m not against displaced people. Our Prime Minister is bringing in people whom we don’t know anything about,” said Sandi. “We are peaceful and looking for a better future for our children and grandchildren.” The protests have mainly involved marches with signs at visible locations. Protesters with grievances have used the yellow vest symbol in many places around the world. In the past, Camrose has had about 30 protesters out. Now that the holidays are over, the group is hoping to have more people out.

Kodiaks suffer tough shootout loss By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks lost 5-4 to the Bonnyville Pontiacs in a shootout after being up 4-3 after 40 minutes in Alberta Junior Hockey League action on Jan. 1. Bonnyville led 2-1 after the opening period with Kyler Kupka garnering the lone tally for the Kodiaks. The Pontiacs went up 3-1 before Camrose took over the game and netted three straight power play goals. Cooper Johnson scored twice and Carson Kurylo added the other marker. Bonnyville scored the tying goal midway through the third period to force overtime and the shootout. It was the sixth straight power play goal of the game. Goalie Griffin Bowerman made 33 of 37 saves for the Kodiaks. Camrose fired 34 shots at the Bonnyville net. It was the battle of the goaltenders when Camrose beat Drayton Valley Thunder 2-1 on Dec. 29. Camrose scored a goal in the first and second periods to provide enough offence to win. Zach Viinnell and Colson Gengenbach collected the tallies, while the Thunder was heard in the third frame. Bowerman turned away 46 of 47 shots on a busy night. Camrose recorded 23 shots on Thunder netminder Rory Dumelie. The night before Drayton Valley scored a goal in each period to win 3-2. Kupka and Erik Miller scored for the Kodiaks. Goalie Roddy Ross stopped 27 of 30 shots to hold the bears in the game. Former Kodiaks’ goalie Luke Lush made 26 of 28 saves. The Kodiaks host the Calgary Mustangs on Jan. 8 and then hit the road to take on Brooks and Okotoks. They are home for two games on Jan. 18 and 19 against Drumheller and Brooks, with 7 p.m. start times. After a three-game road swing in Lloydminster, Grande Prairie and Whitecourt, the Kodiaks close out the month at home against Spruce Grove on Jan. 30. Bear facts

Jean Elaine Geddes March 30, 1942 ~ December 24, 2018 Jean was born in the Coronation Hospital and grew up with nine siblings on Adolf and Molly’s farm east of Brownfield. After high school, she earned her R.N. at the Lamont School of Nursing. Then, she worked briefly at Red Deer and Castor before marrying Don Geddes on April 10, 1966. She was a loving wife and became a fantastic mother, first to Sandy and later to Elaine. Wherever she moved with Don and the girls, her warm smile and caring spirit resulted in many friends. Jean also periodically nursed and was a fine nurse in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan where the family settled down for about seventeen years. There, she made many fine friends, a result of her warm personality. In 1996, Jean and Don retired to Camrose where she continued her nursing interest at the clinic. Besides being a fine cook, Jean always had an interest in sewing and making quilts for her grandsons whom she adored. As well, she made baby blankets that went to the Stollery Hospital and to other places of need. After a severe heart attack, Jean’s health began to fail. Still, she kept her good sense of humour. Who else but Jean would design an Easter hat of a dog peeing on a fire hydrant and wear it in a contest at the Red Deer Mall, winning a prize? Her life was a blessing to all whom she touched and she was always grateful for her caregivers. Jean will be greatly missed by Don; daughters Sandy Geddes and Elaine (Trevor) Janzen; grandsons Bennett, Samuel and Maxx; sisters Helen, Esther (Alvin), Shirley (Bill) and Linda (Leo); brothers Albert (Gwen) and Herb; and sisters-in-law Marie, Elva (Mike) and Izzy. She was predeceased by her parents Adolf and Molly Scheffelmaier; brothers Sam and Richard; and sister Verna. A Funeral Service was held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 3, 2019 from the Resurrection Lutheran Church with Rev. Jeremy Osterwalder and Rev. Dean Rostad officiating. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Jean’s memory may be made to Resurrection Lutheran Church or the charity of one’s choice.

April 9, 1928 ~ January 12, 2015 One precious to our hearts has gone, The voice we loved is stilled; The place made vacant in our home Can never more be filled, Our Father in His wisdom called The one His love had given, And so on earth the body lies – His soul is safe in Heaven. Lovingly missed by Joyce, Chris, Brian, Tim and Rob and families

Douglas “Glenn” Nelson October 30, 1945 ~ December 30, 2018 Douglas “Glenn” Nelson of Camrose, Alberta, passed away on Sunday, December 30, 2018 at the age of 73 years. Whether selling farm machinery or cars, Glenn was quite the salesman. He always enjoyed a good deal. When not selling, you could find Glenn on the farm working the land all hours, day and night. He had a zest for life, was always up for a good time, helping friends, or rockin’ the moves on the dance floor. Over the years, his fight with diabetes dampened his passion for life and the added burden of cancer was more than his body could take. He seemed to have no fear, a risktaker his whole life. In the words of one of his favorite country songs, “You got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em ...” and it was his time to fold. He will be dearly missed. Left to cherish his memory are his companion Diane Palm; his children Yvonne (Jim Reid) Nelson-Reid of San Antonio, Texas, and Gary (Denise) Nelson of Sherwood Park; nine grandchildren; Diane’s children Roxanne (Chad) Barore, Rod Coykendall and Joel (Norma) Coykendall; six grandchildren; three greatgrandchildren; and siblings Linea (Pete) Wittick of Comox, BC, Loraine (Dwayne) Radke of Bittern Lake, and Gordon (Gail) Nelson of Kelowna, BC. Glenn was predeceased by his parents John and Mildred Nelson; sister Kathleen Deardoff; and brothers-in-law James Deardoff and Leroy Linden. As per Glenn’s request, no formal funeral service will be held. A celebration of life for Glenn will be held in the summer of 2019. Inurnment will take place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Canadian Diabetes Association or to the charity of one’s choice.

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 colour 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.
