An open letter from Dr. Stuart, Optometrist Dear Friends and Patients: I would like to thank all my new and past optometric patients for their support and friendship over the years and to wish everyone a happy healthy 2019! My professional history may not be well understood by everyone. I was born and raised in Camrose, earned a Doctorate in Optometry from the University of Waterloo and eventually owned and operated two busy optometric practices in Camrose and Wetaskiwin, with a satellite office in Killam. At age 45, I was diagnosed with leukemia and was treated with a bone marrow transplant. I sold the Wetaskiwin clinic in anticipation. Fortunately, treatment was successful and I was able to return to practice again until being rediagnosed a year later. A more invasive procedure was used for the second treatment, which left me physically unable to continue, and I was forced to sell the Camrose clinic. I have long aspired to return to practice if I was able. Over the ensuing years, I worked hard at rehab and eventually felt strong enough to challenge the educational and clinical requirements to reactivate my optometric licence. The profession of optometry continues to expand and advance. It was a big job. I am now up to date and re-qualified. I have been practicing for a couple of years and enjoying it more than ever! I enjoy my patients. I enjoy new technology and adding to my knowledge, combining it with many years of experience continuing to pprovide friendly personalized eye health care. I also very much enjoy being an active co contributor and participant in the community again. I didn’t make an enthusiastic spectato spectator. I thank Dr. Cloarec for the invitation to jo join his practice last year. His focus on the future has recently brought an additional doctor iinto the office. I learned of another opportunity wh where my optometric skills could be useful on a more full-time basis. I feel I can still contribute and I have decided to try to finish my career on my own terms and timetable. Please accept my ssincere thanks to all who have invested their time and trust in me oover the years! Thank you, thank you, thank you! It has been a privi privilege! Life truly is a fragil fragile and precious miracle! Thank you for sharing part of yours with Gail and I. Sincerely

Nordic sports club keeps on skiing By Lori Larsen
A cut in funding and subsequent dissolution of Nordic sports as team sports at Augustana wasn’t enough to stop an enthusiastic group of Nordic sports (specifically cross country skiing and biathlon) fans from ensuring the sport stays viable. “When anything goes through this kind of a big change, it really forces you to go back to what you’re built on,” said Nils Asfeldt, member of the new Nordic Sports Club at Augustana, and coach for the Camrose Ski Club’s Junior Racers program. A Nordic Sports Advisory committee made up of students, alumni, community members, the Camrose Ski Club president and staff members from Augustana was formed, leading to the creation of a Nordic Sports Club. The club developed a three-tiered system that includes a developmental team, competitive team and campus recreational Nordic programming, encompassing all interests and levels of passion for cooler weather sports. “The developmental team is completely new, and one of the things we’re most proud of,” said advisory committee and campus recreation council member Mackenzie Grove. “We’re facilitating learn-to-ski beginner technique with an opportunity to transition into the competitive sport later as opposed to race-focused high intensity and high volume training.” The number of partici-
pants in the entire program has grown from 10 in the previous year to 20 this year. “The club hopes to grow the team even more by offering Learn-toSki sessions and helping to facilitate the opening of a Nordic Ski Library at Augustana.” Asfeldt said, “The funding cut allowed for a shift in perspective as well as a need for us to rebuild. Now, we’re making time and making room for community spirit and volunteerism.” As an active volunteer in the Augustana and Camrose community, Asfeldt is familiar with the benefits it produces, for not only the community, but the club and individual volunteers as well. “When I look back at my childhood skiing, the best memories aren’t from crossing the finish line, but from the community: staying with friends in hotels or basements or churches or whatever.” Unfortunately, the lack of funding does still present challenges and forming any new club is always dependant on the willingness and availability of its members. Although the club is currently working to form a club council to deal with day-to-day operations and details surrounding the sport, many of its participants will complete their degrees this year and will be leaving Augustana. Second-year student, Nordic sport participant and student coach Ben Osario commented, “Right now, we’re able to shoulder the work because we
are many.” However, he is concerned that over time, students might not be as willing. Active participants in Augustana Nordic Sports, University of Alberta Augustana Campus professor and Camrose Ski Club president Gerhard Lotz and former coaches Lowell Niven and Les Parsons continue to offer their knowledge, experience and time to the club as well. That, along with support from the community, goes a long way in encouraging athletes and club members. “Augustana still treats us as a sports team,” said Osario. “We’re still being included in colour night, and we’ve gotten support from Student Life and from Augustana on the fundraising side, and are also hoping for some transitional funding from the dean’s office.” Remaining a competitive sport is an integral part of the club as well, which is obvious in the standings, as five members qualified for either the Canada Winter Games (cross country skiing) in Red Deer and the Winter Universiade (biathlon) in Russia. The next competition is the Calforex Cup in Camrose, where biathletes will be competing and other members of the club will volunteer to raise money for the ski team.

Poetry of hygge
I’m not a poet and have no aspirations to be one. Still, I’m delighted that last week’s Reflections column about “productive relaxing” inspired Lori Larsen, Booster reporter, to write a poem. Lori said: “[Your column] made me think, and this was the product of taking a moment just to think about your words: “If no one stopped to smell the roses, then what purpose
would they play? “If everyone stopped deep breathing, would all the trees fade away? “If for a moment we lost our sight, “Would colours fade to black and white? “Instead of thinking of time we waste, “I challenge us to live without haste.” ***
Live without haste– what a concept! This winter, I’ve been thinking about the Danish concept of “hygge,” which includes living without haste. I think the Danes are onto something. A blog post by Lyndsey Matthews explains, “Pronounced ‘hoo-gah,’ this Danish concept cannot be translated to one single word but encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life. In essence, hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm glow of candlelight is hygge. Cozying up with a loved one for a movie–that’s hygge, too.” Hygge is considered “a defining feature of our cultural identity and an integral part of the national DNA,” according to Meik Wiking, CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen (imagine a country that has a national Happiness Research Institute. That says something about the culture). Wiking’s book The Little Book of Hygge was released in December. He explains, “Danes are aware of the decoupling between wealth and wellbeing. After our basic needs are met, more money doesn’t lead to more happiness and, instead, Danes are good at focusing on what brings them a better quality of life.” Lyndsey Matthews said, “This national obsession with all things cozy is credited as one of the reasons why Denmark is always at the top of the list of the world’s happiest countries, despite their infamously miserable winters.” Everything I’ve read about Danish winter sounds like East Central Alberta winter– snow, minus 30 C, dark at 4 p.m. And they’re happy. Maybe we should follow their example of “all things cozy” during winter. ***
So how do you “do” hygge? Here are five typical Danish practices. Light candles. Danes burn more candles per capita than anywhere else in Europe. Nothing beats candlelight to create a cozy atmosphere. Besides, everyone looks attractive by candlelight. Eat pastry. The Danes eat about 10 kilos of pastries and cakes per person per year. (I get it. As a child, I always wanted to go to my Danish friend’s house after school on Tuesdays, because her mom made Danish pastries that day.) The point isn’t so much the pastry as the idea of indulging in what brings you enjoyment. Perhaps surprisingly, a 2018 World Health Organization report says Denmark has Europe’s smallest proportion of severely overweight adults. Cycle. Copenhagen has more bicycles than people. It’s not just cycling, though. Danes enjoy walking, running, dancing, being outdoors–even in the winter. That may explain why they can eat 10 kilos of pastry and not be overweight. Dress for comfort, dress for the weather. Danes follow Alfred Wainwright’s statement, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.” Dress for comfort and warmth in the winter and for comfort and cool in the summer. Don’t work late. Danes value family and leisure time. They typically work 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and expect to leave on time to be with family and friends to enjoy leisure activities. Working overtime is frowned upon. And before you ask, Denmark has one of the happiest and most productive work forces in the world. It’s January. We have a few more months of winter. Let’s hygge.

Once again our Prime Minister just doesn’t get it, or does he? His recent imposition of the carbon tax on four provinces (after refusing to accept the plans they were proposing) seems to be designed solely to make himself look good to world-wide, anti-carbon crusaders, while doing little to actually reduce carbon pollution. Both the tax and the proposed “incentive refunds” look highly suspect, and are extremely inequitable. Consider four member families for example. In one, the main income earner(s) may live close enough to their place of work to walk or take rapid transit. In the second family, their income employment may require hundreds of miles of travel each month resulting in a significant carbon tax expense–they have no choice. And yet, each family will be eligible for the same refund. Is it just a coincidence that rural residents and those in remote areas will be hardest hit? And, in Ontario, the family of the PM will apparently also be eligible for the refund, even though he doesn’t pay for his excessive polluting, as he (and his family) strive to visit as many corners of the planet earth as possible during his reign as PM. And we, the tax payers, assume his expenses. As he so eloquently stated, “Pollution, in Canada, is no longer free,” unless of course you are the Prime Minister. Bill Mattinson, Camrose Hydrocarbons
I have read several letters proclaiming the supposed “economic benefits” of a carbon tax. Let me make one thing perfectly clear; no tax confers an “economic benefit.” Every tax, and every regulation, is a bur-
den on the economy. The only question is whether the burden on the economy is justified by services provided. For example, building better roads will bring benefits in transportation, safety, and convenience. The economic burden of extra taxes is offset by the benefits of road-building. Building a theatre or sports arena provides more recreational options but it is debatable whether such spending is worth the cost of lost income or employment. So, what is the carbon tax intended to provide? Quite frankly, the carbon tax is not intended to provide any services, it is intended to reduce our use of carbon-based energy (hydrocarbons) by raising the price of hydrocarbons. However, everything we grow, harvest, make, and transport, relies on carbonbased energy. A carbon tax will, necessarily raise the cost of everything we make, grow, import, and export; and it will raise costs at every step of the process, like compound interest. Even the so-called ‘green’ technologies would not exist if we did not have hydrocarbons for their manufacture, transportation, and installation. Hydrocarbons are the most plentiful, cost-effective, efficient, portable, and reliable energy source known to man. Without them we would still be living in shacks, without electricity, running water, transportation, or communications. The prosperity brought by hydrocarbons benefits everyone. Even so-called ‘underdeveloped’ countries enjoy more and better food, clothing, housing, and health than they did a mere 50 years ago because hydrocarbons fuel cheap production and transportation. Raising the price of hydrocarbons will raise the price of everything and leave us with
less surplus to share with those in need. It will benefit no one. Dave Gosse, Camrose Separate this
With the election in Canada looming and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau doing everything in his power to bring Canada to her knees, the talk of separation has moved west. Yes, that’s right. Instead of Quebec throwing that word around, it’s now coming from the mouths of Alberta and Saskatchewan citizens. Toward that, I decided to delve into the “logistics” of separation even being a possibility. Turns out, it is possible. But there’s a problem. The clarity act (initiated and passed into law before the turn of the century) basically states the province(s) seeking separation would have to achieve a majority vote “in favor of separation” through a referendum. Now comes the good part. The government (house) has the power to determine exactly what percentage of the vote would constitute said majority vote. In other words, they’ve concocted a law that, unless every citizen of the province(s) applying for separation voted yes, the government could rule against it. Would the Canadian government allow a province(s) to leave confederation. Probably not. The only way to “get ‘er done” is a total yes vote. You can’t argue when the majority figure is a resounding 100 per cent yes. There you have it people. There’s only one surefire way to fix the predicament we’re in and that is to vote your way out of “said predicament” in the upcoming election. I used the term earlier…get er’ done. Bobbie Norman, Camrose

Local dairy farmer speaks candidly to chamber members By Lori Larsen
During the Jan. 9 Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce luncheon meeting, attendees heard from Vermeer’s Dairy’s Jake Vermeer, herd manager, about the impact the CUSMA (Canadian, United States, Mexico Agreement) Trade Agreement will have on Alberta and Canada’s dairy producers. Vermeer told the crowd the family moved to the Camrose area in 2009, where they are currently milking 500 cows, three times a day and farming 2,500 acres of land. “We produce 16,500 litres of milk every day and employ 10-plus people from in and around the Camrose area.” Recently, the farm received permit to expand to 600 cows beginning June of this year. “In the summer, we do an average of two tours a week and on Open Farm Days last year, we had between 300 and 400 people show up.” He added that the farm is currently booking tours upon request. Impact of CUSMA
Vermeer explained to the attendees how the CUSMA will impact dairy farmers specifically, and drove home the importance of purchasing Canadian products and supporting
local, provincial and Canadian business. “America has a big economy,” said Vermeer, in reference to the three countries affected by the CUSMA. “In this deal, we lost about 3.9 per cent market equivalency of what we are going to be losing. “The revenue loss is estimated at $190 million for Canadian producers. It is a lot of money for family farms, that is going to go missing, that we have to create ourselves or find a way to become more efficient to generate that profit back, and a lot of family farms are going to exit because they will not be sustainable to do this.” In further demonstrating the impact that the 3.9 per cent of American dairy products would have on Canadian dairy industry, Vermeer showed a graph (as an example) indicating that the deal would eliminate the equivalent of most of the Maritimes and Saskatchewan milk production “You can see the damage a deal like this can have. “It means that every dairy farmer ultimately has to cut down by about 3.9 per cent which is quite a bit. If you look at your own business and you had to do a 3.9 per cent cut, you would feel that pain, too.”
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Jake Vermeer of Vermeer’s Dairy’s advised Chamber members to look for the blue cow on Canadian dairy products.
Vermeer stated there will be 916 Canadian farms that will be diminished if this deal comes into affect at the full 3.9 per cent. “Up until about two years ago, we (Canadian dairy industry) were completely subsidy free. Since CETA (Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) took affect, we have seen some conservative money come into pocket and now, with this deal, there is already work in progress for the
Liberals to help subsidize the dairy farmers to help bring this market back in some form of compensation. “We don’t want compensation, we want to create a product for the Canadian consumers for a fair price and make our money that way. Help us out with infrastructure and with creating markets,” he said, with regards to the proposed subsidies. In conclusion, Vermeer indicated there is no doubt the dairy industry is being
negatively impacted by the CUSMA. “Access is only the tip of the iceberg. There are always trade negotiations happening. “By 2024, 18 per cent of milk produced will be imported. That is a lot of milk coming in from countries that do not hold the same standards as Canada. As well, the sovereignty of Canadian dairy industry is being infringed upon. It will effect export markets, in that we won’t be able to do any sort of pricing schemes or sales. The US will always be right there to weigh in and counter scheme against us.” He said that more American products will be seen on store shelves and consumers can choose Canadian products by looking for the DFC (Dairy Farmers of Canada) logo on products. “If you see the logo, you know it is 100 per cent Canadian product.” Vermeer said, to a round of applause, the one silver lining in this deal is an increased demand from consumer for Canadian products. “Our Blue Cow (DFC logo) has seen about a 400 per cent increase in consumer demand. Consumers want to buy local and there is a demand for Canadian products.”

BRCF funds music festival Submitted
The Battle River Community Foundation recently awarded a grant of $750 to the Camrose and District Music Festival Association. The grants are from income from the Lions Club of Camrose Fund. The fund was created when the Lions Club of Camrose was dissolved and supports several charities that the Club assisted when it was in operation. This grant provides funding for the Rose Bowl Award and the Multi-Talent Award at the annual festival. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects and facilities, such as the Camrose and District Music Festival, in East Central Alberta which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually,
Dr. Mark Cloarec is pleased to announce the arrival of InMode, a state-of-the-art light, RF and laser solution for the treatment of Dry Eye Disease. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of evaporative dry eye disease. Meibomian glands secrete an oil called meibum. Meibum, water, and mucus form the three layers of the tear film; the fluid that keeps eyes moist. The oil helps prevent the water layer on the eye surface from drying out. Patients with MGD produce an abnormal meibum that is more sticky than the usual olive-oil-like secretion, and in some cases the glands can be partially clogged by a waxy build-up of thickened meibum, preventing oil secretion altogether. In either case, this causes tears to evaporate too quickly, leading to chronic dry eyes. These patients can also develop severe inflammation and bacterial overgrowth that exacerbates the problem. Most standard treatments have been only somewhat effective for patients with MGD, leading some to suggest the need for a multifaceted treatment approach. Enter InMode.
InMode combines Lumecca (IPL) and Forma (RF) to apply sufficient heat to the area beneath the eye to melt waxy deposits in the meibomian glands. Once the deposits have been returned to a more liquid state, the glands can be expressed to clear away the thickened meibum. This is a non-invasive treatment, and has been highly successful in alleviating chronic dry eyes.

My favourite space on my calendar is at the very bottom. At the top is where all appointments, important information and reminders are written, but at the bottom, there is a blank space for notes to myself. This is the space where I jot down funny or heartwarming things that my kids say. Every few months, I write these things they say and do into their journals, along with tales of what we did for their birthday, their heights and weights, and anything that shows their personalities. And it turns out that they are, well, incredibly funny. Just the other day after being outside, my four-year-old announced that his “toes needed hot chocolate to drink.” I couldn’t be that funny or innocent if I tried. We just recently passed a day called Blue Monday, the third Monday in January. This is the day of the year when, supposedly, people feel the lowest and most depressed. I get it, credit card bills from Christmas are in, the excitement of Christmas is past, the balmy days of summer feel a long way off, and some of us have already made a poor show of any resolutions or plans for change for the New Year. But sometimes if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry. The last time I wrote in my kids’ journals, I came across a few funny ones, and thought it seems like a good remedy for the January blues. Here are a few of the stories. We were trying to help our son say more words so we were saying one word at a time so he could see how our mouths moved to make the words. My husband and I had been trying to get him to say simple words like blue, dog and ball. My daughter looked at him and said, “Say octopus.” My daughter had her first crush in Grade 1. He said that he wanted to marry her, and she said she wanted to marry him one day. I cautioned her that his dad gets transferred often for work and he may not live here forever. She gave me a look of horror and said, “Well, I can travel!” We were visiting my sister-in-law who was expecting her second child. My daughter, who was eight at the time, solemnly told her, “You should have a girl. Boys are trouble.” We were gardening when we saw a plastic straw poking out, which must have made its way into our compost by accident. We pulled it out and I teased my kids saying, “Did you think if you planted that it would grow baby straws?” My son grinned, crinkled up his nose and said “No.” Then he paused and said, “Would it?” We were brushing teeth before bed. My daughter was going to try using an electric toothbrush. I was explaining to her that she would take off the (toothbrush) head and put on a new head. Her brother was walking past right then and he slowed to a stop and asked, “Will she put on a girl head or a boy head?” For my birthday last year, my then six-year-old told me that I didn’t have to worry about making lunch and supper because the rest of the family would take care of it. I asked if he was going to bring me breakfast too, and he paused. Then he said, “I don’t know about that.” We had been outside collecting worms for my daughter’s class. My youngest stayed outside playing in the muck while I made lunch inside. He came in with a ring of mud around his mouth. I asked if he’d been eating mud and he announced, “Mommy, mud turns into dirt in my mouth!” We were sitting in the pew at church and my children had been playing quietly. Then the pastor said, “Let’s pray.” My youngest looked up at me with an expression of surprise and delight and repeated what he had heard: “Let’s play?” And my all-time personal favourite. My oldest two kids were in the tub together when they were little. My son was teething, and kept grabbing his facecloth and putting it in his mouth which meant we couldn’t use it to wash him. My daughter was playing with another washcloth, and I asked her to give it to him to chew on since his teeth might be hurting. She looked at me and said, “I will give it to him as soon as I’m done washing my bum with it.” We declined her kind offer and found him another fresh washcloth. Happy January!

The Rose City Handivan will be accepting the $4 City of Camrose subsidized taxi tokens beginning Feb. 1, as part of the transit offerings of specialized transportation for people with mobility aids, senior citizens with physical disability, cognitive and or developmental disability who cannot use typical transportation, within City limits. City of Camrose councillor Kevin Hycha stated that the decision to have the taxi tokens as partial payment of the Rose City Handivan fare came about as a result of the increase in the Handivan cost from $4 (one way) to $5 beginning Feb. 1. The fare will be one taxi token plus $1.
“The Handivan along with the CTAC (Community Transit Advisory Committee) has agreed to start accepting taxi tokens to help offset some costs to those in need,” said Hycha. “The participating agencies will continue distributing them as they have in the past and now the Handivan will be part of the program.” The Rose City Handivan Society has also entered into an agreement with Camrose County, to offer services to all County residents who would benefit from access to specialized transportation. “The Rose City Handivan is available, often on short notice, to assist when a person needs extra help to get to and from

home regardless of the reason,” noted Hycha. “If, for example, a person who has finished shopping and is unable to independently manage a walker or other mobility aid and their purchases, the Rose City Handivan driver will assist the rider to the door.” The Rose City Handivan service is available five days per week and riders are encouraged to book two to three days in advance. For more information on the Rose City Handi-van Society or to prebook the service, email at handivan@ cable-lynx.net or telephone 780-6728777.

CO-OP FEEDS HUNGRY
Submitted Wild Rose Co-op Food Store (Camrose) grocery manager Brent Edwards presented a donation of $8,500 to Camrose Neighbor Aid program director Jo-Anne Tweed. The funds were raised through the Goodbuy to Hunger campaign over Christmas. Wild Rose Coop also presented $4,000 to the Flagstaff Food bank.
In the fall of 2018, I spent five weeks as a visiting professor at the University of Vienna, in Austria. The “Uni,” as it is known locally, provides opportunities for professors from non-European Union partner universities to teach in Vienna, giving its students a more globalized educational experience. I had the chance to meet and interact with European students and academics in one of the Alex Carpenter, continent’s oldest and largest Music, Augustana Campus, University universities—and one that is of Alberta free to attend. Vienna is, among many things, a “university town.” A city of just under two million inhabitants, Vienna boasts a student population of almost 200 000, half of whom study at the Uni. What accounts for this? No doubt tradition and history play a role: Vienna has been a university town for nearly 700 years (founded in 1365), and the Uni itself is the oldest in the German-speaking world. The city’s longtime status as an Imperial capital, along with its dynamic arts and music scenes, turbulent political climate, majestic architecture, and vibrant multiculturalism have long attracted intellectuals, artists, and activists of all stripes, with the Uni at the centre of it all. Surely, another reason for the Uni’s prodigious student enrollment, is that it is free? Citizens of the EU pay only student union fees—the equivalent of about $30 Canadian a semester—to attend university in Austria and study for a bachelor’s degree, provided they complete the degree within a prescribed length of time (four years). What does this mean for the quality of the educational experience for students and for Austria itself? It did not appear that students were any less engaged in their studies because it was free: my students were interested, attentive, well prepared, and worked hard. They also complained about workload, made excuses for late work, gossiped about teachers and other students, and struggled to balance school, jobs and social lives—not much different from their Canadian counterparts. My students in Vienna were rather sanguine about education and the future, and did not see the study of an esoteric field like musicology as a means to an end, but rather as something valuable in and of itself. Austria clearly views post-secondary education, in economists’ terms, as a “merit good.” But how “free” is this education? Austrian income taxes are very high, relative to Canada: one enters the tax system there with an income above $17 000, in the 25 per cent tax bracket ($17,000 is below the poverty line in Canada); once income hits $90,000 in Austria, one is in a 50 per cent tax bracket. In Canada, one would be taxed at about 25 per cent at this level. Besides being a continental cultural centre, Austria boasts one of the highest standards of living among the economies of the world, ranking highly in per capita gross domestic product. The Austrian government, using the substantial tax revenue it receives, provides health care, post-secondary tuition and a wide range of social services and benefits to its citizens as part of its generous welfare state. The citizens of Austria surely enjoy many benefits from this system; none of it, however, is free. Recently, Canada’s NDP made free tuition part of its platform just last year. However, as Tristan Hopper recently argued in the National Post, free tuition is not the “silver bullet” that it is sometimes made out to be. It, apparently, does not benefit the poor as we might imagine (rather, it is a boon to the wealthy), does not automatically lead to higher rates of post-secondary enrollment, and does little to address socio-economic inequality. My direct experience with university free-tuition revealed a system in which students have unfettered access to education, but that imposes greater personal responsibility and with much less support and fewer services from their school, not to mention low faculty salaries and exploitative hiring practices that keep costs down, while providing little security for academics. I am not making an argument here for or against free tuition, or socialism, or the welfare state. I would suggest that this is not a simple issue, and the current political rhetoric is simply not doing it justice. Ultimately, a central question remains: how do we calculate the value of a university education?

Winter camping when prepared is a great outdoor activity By Lori Larsen
Does the thought of winter camping get you heading further under your blankets or wondering about the fun of the challenge? While it is not for everyone, winter camping, when done properly, can be another way to enjoy the great outdoors and all it has to offer. Three main things come to mind when preparing for a camp out in winter temperatures and elements–safety, warmth and comfort. Prior to any outdoor camping trip, winter or not,
check your local weather forecast and ensure there are no alerts or severe weather advisories. Be prepared
Begin by packing the proper clothing and sleeping aids. Warm insulated clothing that is not too bulky and wicks away moisture is the best choice. Remember you can always take away layers but if you didn’t bring them you can not add them. Good sleeping pads and sleeping bags a re essentia l for a c o m f o r t a b l e n i g h t ’s sleep a nd w ill prov ide
a ba r r ier bet ween you a nd the cold g rou nd. Extra clothing can be stuffed into your sleeping bag to cut down on air pockets that create cold spots and will also keep your clothing warm for the next day. Pack plenty of matches and fire starter from around your home in waterproof containers. Dryer lint is perfect for using as a fire starter and is light to carry. Replace all your batteries just prior to leaving in items such as headlamps, flashlights, GPS naviga-
and approximately when you plan on returning. Ensure your vehicle is in top running condition and has as full a tank of gas as possible where you camp, should you need to retreat to the safety of your vehicle in the event the weather turns severe. Chose your campsite wisely, ensure there is good access in and out and you are not in avalanche, problem wildlife or other hazardous areas and if on private land, always get permission first. Once at your camp site pack down a large area
tors, cell phones, and twoway radios with lithium batteries which last longer, stand up to cold temperatures better and are lighter to carry. Ca r r y a c ompa s s a nd map t hat do not require batter ies, just in case. Prior to leaving, always make sure someone remaining behind is aware of your exact whereabouts
of snow before placing your tent on top to create a smoother, flat surface for sleeping, eliminate soft snow that when stepped on could tear your tent floor. Place your footwear (liners) inside a plastic bag then inside your sleeping bag at night to avoid them freezing, especially if they are damp. Minimize the amount of condensation that builds
Camrose hosts biathlon event By Murray Green
The Camrose Ski Club will be hosting the biathlon Calforex Cup #4 on Feb. 2 and 3 at the shooting range. “Our biathlon program, through the Camrose Ski Club, is looking for volunteers to help us run the annual race,” said Jan Stepan, volunteer coordinator on behalf of the club. The event attracts about 130 biathletes of all ages in various groups from not only Alberta, but surrounding provinces. “The event can-
not happen without help from volunteers. If anyone is interested, or if you have friends, family members or any individuals interested in helping out, contact me through r in gopes @ h otm ail.com or text 780-678-0707 for more information. Biathlon is exciting to watch,” said Jan. The two event days will be held as a Sprint on Saturday and an Alberta Pursuit on Sunday. Racing begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. on Sunday.
up in your tent by wiping it down. Store water bottles upside down so some water, which freezes from the top, will be ready to drink at the end by the opening. Boil your snow before using it to cook or drink. Snowf lakes often form around dust particles which can contain bacteria, not to mention what has trod on the snow before you. Snowy white does not equate to bacteria free. Use wooden utensils which are not only lighter to carry but not as susceptible to cold. Metal utensils which, hold the cold, will cause the temperatures of your food to drop quickly and there is always the chance of them freezing to your lips or fingers. Other essential items to consider are a light foldable shovel, light folding camp chair, tarp or tent fly, gas stove and lanterns, a light sled to haul firewood, single pot food options that are easy and quick to prepare, as well as high protein snacks such as granola and nuts that are light to carry. Always remember, what you pack in you pack out and leave your campsite as close to its original condition as possible. If well prepared, winter camping can be a wonderful way to explore the great outdoors and experience cooler temperatures in a whole different way.

Comedy combo offer lots of laughs By Murray Green
Comedians Cathy Jones and Bruce McCulloch are ready to make you laugh on Friday, Feb. 1 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre starting at 7:30 p.m. Jones has more than 20 years of experience starring in CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes show that is seen from coast to coast. McCulloch is famous for his work on CBC’s television series Kids in the Hall. Jones and McCulloch are known for their rapid fire material that will leave you in stitches. Take deep breaths and keep your ears open because, honestly, you’ll be laughing so hard that you might not catch every punch line they deliver. Both Kids in the Hall and This Hour Has 22 Minutes have been so successful because of the solid material that is featured every week. That same success reaches the stage on their Alberta tour. Just when you thought life might not be so funny anymore, Jones delivers her gender-bending, sidesplitting comedy straight from the depths of her mind. McCulloch is a oneman show that is funny and at times touching. Part stand up, part storytelling, he looks at some of the bravely stupid things that he has done, and things we all do as we get ourselves in and out of trouble as we throw ourselves at life. He has written or performed several one-man shows throughout his career.

Emeralds band returns By Murray Green

Wylie a veteran of international music By Murray Green
Singer Dana Wylie has a rare knack of crafting meaningful songs. Dana is as flexible with words as she is with her guitar and piano. Dana will be in Camrose as part of the Rose City
Roots Music Society series, at the Bailey Theatre on Feb. 2 at 8 p.m. She cut short a promising career in Canadian theatre at the age of 23. Dana decided to branch out into music instead. Dana began her calling in Taiwan, play-
ing with jug, blues, bluegrass and cover bands. Dana moved to the UK in 2005 to form her own band and toured for five years. She released three albums in the process. She returned to Canada in 2010 to pursue graduate studies
in musicology at the University of Alberta. Her folk music has earned awards and respect. Dana’s fifth record, The Earth That You’re Made Of was released in October 2017. Dana started in theatre
at Grant MacEwan College (university) in Edmonton. She acted professionally for five years before going back to music. She originally moved to Taiwan to teach English, but began playing music.

Breaking down social isolation can have a positive affect on the health of Canadian seniors.
The Canadian Association for Long-Term Care (CALTC) is urging all Members of Parliament, across the country, to help tackle social isolation among seniors. This first-of-a-kind initiative for CALTC aims to raise awareness about the negative impacts social isolation can have on the health of Canadian seniors. CALTC is asking Members of Parliament to visit at least one care home in their riding during the week of Feb. 10 to 16, which happens to coincide with Valentine’s Day. CALTC plans to post on its website, a full listing of MPs who have advised us they plan to support the #BecauseYouCare campaign and have scheduled a visit to a local care home. “As we gather with close friends and family, we are reminded of the fact that many seniors live in isolation,” said Daniel Fontaine, chair of CALTC. “By reaching out to elderly family members or friends, we can all make a huge difference in someone’s quality of life. We certainly hope that next Valentine’s Day, a great number of MPs will take the time to visit a local care home and participate in this unique campaign.” Studies have shown that social isolation has a negative impact on health, especially among seniors, which increases the burden on the health care system. Social isolation among seniors can even occur in care homes, where there are an abundance of residents and staff. We know that those who are more connected with their family and friends lead longer, happier and healthier lives. Over the holidays, Members of Parliament can help by booking time to visit a local care home. Help spread the word over social media #BecauseYouCare. The Canadian Association for Long Term Care (CALTC) is a national organization, comprised of provincial associations and long-term care providers that deliver publicly-funded health care services for seniors across Canada.

Give us a call at 780-679-1241, and read further for a few pointers on ways to deal with the SAD symptoms so many of us experience during the winter. What is Seasonal Affective Disorder? SAD symptoms include poor or low energy levels, listlessness, cravings for sweets and carbohydrates, and weight gain. Symptoms vary from person to person as does the degree of debilitation. For most people, the symptoms are mild to moderate, but, for a select few, they can be severe. More debilitating symptoms include problems sleeping, difficulty getting up in the morning, lack of concentration and changes in memory.
The senior population may be at increased risk for SAD due to restricted mobility, residential facility living, isolation, or the recent death of a loved one. If left untreated, SAD can lead to pessimistic feelings of hopelessness, lack of pleasure and fulfillment, and possibly even depression. Simple changes in one’s environment and daily routine can make a big difference in coping with SAD symptoms. Examples include letting in as much natural light as possible, by opening curtains and blinds during the day; exercising regularly-about 20 to 30 minutes three times a week is recommended; eating a well-balanced diet, minimizing sweets and carbohydrates; staying involved with hobbies, church, other gatherings, friends, and community events; taking daily supplements like vitamin D; adding laughter to your day by watching a comedy program or movie. Laughter among friends is the best form.
Using light therapy. Full spectrum lamps of 10,000 lux are available from pharmaceutical stores and healthcare suppliers. Use them for about 30 minutes each morning throughout the winter months, November through to March. In-person, community support to help folks cope with SAD is available in Camrose through the Alberta Health Services Seniors Outreach team. No physician referral is required-a family member, spouse, child or individuals themselves can call the office for assistance. If you are experiencing one or more of the symptoms above, or you think someone you know is affected, please consider calling the Seniors Outreach Team at 780-679-1241. We are here to help. For information about Camrose Seniors Coalition, call Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) at 780-672-0141 and ask for Maria or Margaret H.

Medical devices are vital to the health and well-being of hundreds of thousands of Canadians, with many of whom could not survive without these devices. More than 100,000 medical devices are licensed for sale in Canada, ranging from everyday items such as bandages to complex implantable technology such as pacemakers. Canada has one of the most stringent regulatory
systems in the world for medical devices. Still, all devices pose risks. The reporting of incidents involving medical devices allows Health Canada to more quickly identify, communicate and act on new or increased medical device safety concerns. With that in mind, Health Canada is asking Canadians who use medical devices to report any incident they experience to Health Canada and their healthcare provider. As part of Health Cana-
da’s Action Plan on Medical Devices, the department is taking steps to strengthen the monitoring of these devices and follow up on incidents. This includes strengthening regulations and taking action to improve the reporting of medical device incidents by industry, healthcare providers and Canadians. They encourage Canadians to talk to their healthcare providers about the use of medical devices. Health professionals play a key role in helping patients

fully understand the potential benefits and risks of different treatment options; and therefore, in helping them to make informed choices about their health and well-being. They also encourage Canadians to report to their healthcare provider and Health Canada if they experience a safety issue with a medical device. Discuss treatment options and the potential benefits and risks of
medical devices with your healthcare provider. Contact your healthcare provider if you have any health concerns related to your use of a medical device. Report adverse events involving health products to Health Canada by calling toll-free at 1-866234-2345, or by reporting online, mail or fax. Stay connected with Health Canada and receive the latest advisories and product recalls.

Lloyd Blair Oliver March 21, 1943 ~ January 18, 2019 Blair Oliver was born on March 21, 1943 in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan to Jack and Muriel Oliver. He grew up in Ribstone, Alberta with his seven siblings. Blair passed away on Friday, January 18, 2019 at the age of 75 years. As a young teenager, Blair was active in sports. His favorites were hockey and baseball. Freshly out of school, he joined the Canadian Armed Forces and served in the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. Blair always spoke of this as the time of his life. His family loved to hear about his “army” days. After returning from overseas, he left the army at the age of 22 and married the LOVE of his life Linda. Together, they had three children Lisa, Carol and Daryl. Blair worked with the farming community in pretty much his whole working career. From managing an elevator for the United Grain Growers to owning a MacLeod’s Hardware Store to being a commissioned agent for the UFA, he loved working with the farmers. Even after retiring from the UFA, Blair kept himself busy in the Camrose community, becoming a cab driver, school bus driver, and even a security guard with the local Camrose City Police department. Blair and his wife Linda loved to travel. Some of their favorite spots were Las Vegas, Mexico and just about anywhere his motorhome would take him. Thoughout his life’s adventures, it was clear what he valued the most. It was time spent with his family, especially his five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Blair was heartbroken after he lost his wife Linda almost four years prior to the day he died. His family has peace knowing he is finally with Mom again. Left to cherish his memory are his children Lisa (David) MacPherson of Sherwood Park, Carol Oliver of Leduc, and Daryl (Laura) Oliver of Edmonton; five grandchildren Neil (Elyse) MacPherson, Ewen MacPherson, Jolisa Oliver, Ron Oliver and Kyle MacPherson; four great-grandchildren Lincoln Lazowski, Caleb MacPherson, Jaelyn MacPherson and Grayson MacPherson; and siblings Sylvia Johnson and Rodney (Laura) Oliver of Sherwood Park. Blair was predeceased by his wife Linda; son-in-law Brian Sinnett; brothers Murray, Earl and Ken; and sisters Ann and Eleanor. A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 29, 2019 from the Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Centra Cam (5502-46 Street, Camrose, AB T4V 1X4).
Phyllis Mary Voytechek February 10, 1922 ~ January 20, 2019 Mom was born, raised and educated in Saskatoon. She obtained her R.N. from Winnipeg General Hospital and practiced nursing in Saskatoon, Davidson and Camrose. It was while she was nursing in Camrose that Mom caught the eye of a local hockey star who unabashedly professed his marital intentions from his hospital bed. They started their married life of over 70 years in the coal mining town of Mountain Park, returning to Camrose a few years later to raise their family. Mom was always committed to her family, her faith, and her community. She was the backbone of all our endeavors, our biggest fan, our strongest motivation. She served on endless committees in executive roles for the organizations of which we were a part. Mom walked to every sporting event and activity, often retracing her steps several times in one day. Mom was instrumental in bringing Girl Guides to Camrose. For over 50 years, she served the organization in numerous roles and was awarded an honorary life membership. Mom loved all sports, was proficient in many, and enjoyed daily power walks well into her final years. Her beautiful gardens and flowerbeds brought her joy, as did her time spent with Sweet Adelines. After a 30-year hiatus, Mom returned to nursing and finished off her career at the age of 67, employed by the Smith Clinic. Mom treasured her family, her children, their spouses, her grands and great-grands. She was ‘Mom and ‘Nana’ to many. She was the love of Dad’s life, always his “Bride”. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Joseph; children Charlotte (Al) Dewar of Courtney, BC, Marlaine (Roy) Hagel of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Mike (Dana) of Okotoks, Weston (Eleanor) of Camrose, Jim (Mary) of Sherwood Park, and Pat (Tom) Polmear of Calgary; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Phyllis was predeceased by her parents Charles and Edith Weston; and brother Roger Weston. A Prayer Vigil was held at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, January 25, 2019 from the Burgar Memorial Chapel. A Funeral Mass was held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 26, 2019 from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Joseph Jacobson as celebrant. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Phyllis’s memory may be made to Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute or to the Battle River Community Foundation.

Chevrolet Biscayne had wings to fly By Murray Green
The 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne may not have been a classic muscle car, but it sure had the looks of one. Known for its appealing bat-like wings and taillights that looked like eyes, this car was a sight to see in its hey-day. “I picked this car up four or five years ago out of Saskatchewan. It was a 20 hour drive, but I picked it up and drove it back. It was the same colour (grey) as it is today,” said owner Tony Delaney of Kingman. “I lowered it, ordered new rims for it and that is about as far as I’ve gotten so far.” The Chevrolet Biscayne was a series of full-size cars produced by the American manufacturer Chevrolet between 1958 and 1972. “This body style was one of the cars I was interested in. I just love the taillights and the character of the car. It is going to see some more upgrades in the future,” said Tony. Named after a show car displayed at the 1955 General Motors Motorama, the Biscayne was the least expensive model in the Chevrolet full-size car range (except the 1958only Chevrolet Delray). The absence of most exterior and fancy interior trimmings remained through the life of the series, as the slightly costlier Chevrolet Bel Air
GREAT DESIGN

offered more interior and exterior features at a price significantly lower than the top of the line Chevrolet Impala. “I have a bunch of suspension parts to go in yet.
FUN FACTS
True budget buyers could opt for the division’s tried-and-true 235-cubic inch straight-six, a design with its roots in the 1930s. For 1959, Chevrolet dubbed this gas-sipping engine the Hi-Thrift 6. With the six, either a two-speed Powerglide automatic or three-speed manual were available as transmission options. Biscaynes were produced primarily for the fleet market, though they were also available to the general public—particularly to those who wanted low-cost, nofrills transportation with the convenience, room and power of a full-size automobile. Many of the luxury convenience options available on the more expensive full-sized Chevrolet models, such as power windows, were not available on the Biscayne. However, customers could purchase a Biscayne with any of Chevrolet’s high-output big-block V8 engines and performance-oriented transmissions. In 1959, the car was redesigned and now sat on an inch-and-a-half (3.8 cm) longer wheelbase. For 1959 the two-door utility sedan appeared, a version lacking a rear seat and being intended as a delivery vehicle. Like the slightly upscale Bel Airs, Biscaynes are easily identified by the use of two taillights per side; the only exceptions to this were in 1959 and 1972.
I’m going to upgrade the complete drive train and modernize it.” The Biscayne was named after Biscayne Bay near Miami, Florida, following a trend by Chevrolet at the time to name cars after coastal cities or beaches such as the Bel Air and the later Chevrolet Malibu. “I put a collector plate on it, so it’s not a daily driver. I will drive and take it to as many shows as I can,” revealed Tony. “This year of car caught my eye and I like it. The car doesn’t have any special memories, other than I like the style and character.” The car looked like it was built for racing on the outside, but not under the hood. Owners had to make modifications if they wanted to add speed. “It has a six cylinder with three on the tree. It is a really good cruiser with pretty decent mileage. I’m thinking of an LS engine and go with an automatic transmission. I want to put some sway bars on because
now when you turn a corner it feels like you are going to tip over,” Tony laughed. When it came to powertrain options in 1959, even Biscayne buyers on a
budget could opt for any of the five different V-8s. “I just want to upgrade the car to give it a better ride. I go to as many car shows as time allows,” said Tony.

Dancers discover New York By Murray Green
Ballet Camrose dancers Cassandra Olsen and Jocelyn Olsen went to the Be Discovered program in New York City to search for options in dance outside of this province. “We spent seven days in New York. We left Christmas Day and returned Jan. 2 and took classes at world renowned studios. We danced and we took a whole bunch of classes with different chorographers and teachers who work in New York. We saw some shows on Broadway, but mostly it was to expand our knowledge,” explained Cassandra. “It helps us out with our dancing with really intensive training. It is hard to keep them separate, what we learn we tend to pass on as teachers as well.” The sisters have been around dance their entire life
with mom Colleen owning and being the artistic director at the downtown studio. “It is beneficial to all of the students at this studio too, because now we have connections with chorographers in New York,” added Jocelyn. “We learned how to make videos for additions. It is called a reel and it includes dance, information on dances and shows you have done and a bio.” Both are instructors and dancers at Ballet Camrose, but they wanted to inquire about future dance in both Los Angeles and New York through the program that invites about 25 dancers to each session. “It started with Jocelyn receiving a scholarship to the dance intensive in Los Angeles last summer. We both went July 23 to Aug. 1 for seven days and then they asked us back to go to New York. We had to send

Guzzling alcoholic beverages just before driving or guzzling after you arrive home can no longer be used as a defence against an impaired driving charge. Amendments by the Federal government to the impaired driving laws Bill C-46, as of Dec. 18, 2018, have given police enhanced powers in their investigations into impaired driving. The new impaired driving law states. “It is an offence to have a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) that is equal to or exceeds 80 mg of alcohol per 100 ml of blood, within two hours of ceasing to operate a conveyance (motor vehicle or boat).” “The new law rectified previous loopholes and now allows police to properly investigate impaired driving and collisions while impaired, even after the vehicle has been parked,” explained Camrose Police Service Constable Marc
Cossette. “The new law was never intended for police to be able to attend random residences to enforce impaired driving. It was not within the law for police to act that way in the past and it is still not authorized. There is a lot of inaccurate information circulating on social media, and the Camrose Police Service wanted to ensure the public was properly informed on the new amendments in regards to impaired driving.” The purpose of the new law is to prevent impaired drivers who are involved in an incident, such as a collision, from quickly driving home prior to police arrival, with the purpose of obstructing the investigation by doing bolus drinking. The new amendments outline that the blood alcohol concentration determined from the driver, post incident and post bolus drinking will be deemed the blood alcohol concen-
tration at the time of driving. The burden of proof remains the same for the police. “We still have the duty to properly investigate impaired driving and collisions while impaired. The requirements from the courts to prove the offence beyond reasonable doubt have not changed,” stated Cossette. Part of Bill C-46 includes the authority for police to demand and conduct mandatory roadside screening for alcohol on any person operating a motor vehicle, whether suspected of impaired driving or not. The objective of Bill C-46 is to remove impaired drivers from our roadways and increase safety for all travelers. If the realization that any driver, at any time, may be required to provide a breath sample to a police officer has people thinking twice about drinking and driving and not taking the risk, then the new law has hit its mark.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Police Service remind residents that police can now demand and conduct mandatory roadside screening for alcohol on any person operating a motor vehicle.
in a head shot, a short bio, video and a summary of our training,” said Cassandra, who is taking education as a second degree at the University of Alberta. “There was a wide variety of classes that we attended in New York. They were very advanced, so they wanted to know what level we were at going into it,” said Jocelyn. Both have the highest level of tap and close to the highest in other dances. “It allowed us to take more of the advanced classes and it is good knowing what we have learned here is what led us to be able to take the advanced classes,” shared Jocelyn. The experience in New York demonstrated what level the dancers are at. “It was humbling, but also a you can do it moment,”
explained Cassandra. “We went not knowing where we were going to be in the classes. We went to New York where thousands of dancers are training every single day and we were often at the top end of the classes. It proved that all of our training and exams here are working.” Training and learning never stops. “It also showed us that there are a lot more things to do with what we have too. We have seen different styles of chorography that are not always readily available in Alberta,” added Jocelyn, who is taking business at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus. The programs showed the differences between Los Angeles and New York, the differences of commercial shows and Broadway, which
gives us more comprehensive knowledge. It also showed us that we were younger than a lot of other dancers,” said Jocelyn. “They are looking for experienced dancers in the 19 to 25 age, who look young and are in the best physical shape to go on a full tour,” said Cassandra. “It is cool to see that there are opportunities out there if we wanted to pursue that.” Both said they are grateful to attend sessions in Los Angeles and New York and learn a lot within five months. For right now, the sisters want to continue dancing, teaching and training in Camrose, while they finish university. Ballet Camrose has about 100 students.

Bowlers qualify for Special Olympics Winter Games By Murray Green
Five bowlers and two coaches have qualified to be in the 2019 Special Olympics Alberta Winter Games in Calgary. Coach Faye St. Onge and assistant coach Tony St. Onge will be guiding athletes Jon Gurr, James McGillivray, Jody St. Onge, Mitchell Banks and Aleena Lazar in both singles and team bowling. “Our bowlers had to qualify in a tournament, so they either had to be in ours, which we had last March, or qualify from the one in Vegreville. That is how they were chosen. We pick the bowlers from tournaments,” explained Faye. “Their averages have gone up since then. John bowled a 255 one day and Mitchell, last week, bowled a 296. It is based on pins over average. And I expect that we will come home with some medals.” The Camrose team practices twice a week. Currently, the Wetaskiwin team that also is going to Calgary bowls beside them to add some excitement at those practices. “I coached Special Olympics in Calgary before coming here. I’ve been with Special Olympics...going into my 32nd year,” recalled Faye. “ We moved to Camrose four years ago and the idea was just to enroll our daughter, who is Jody, and just come and watch. And it’s a struggle to get volunteers in Camrose, so we ended up coaching.” More than 700 athletes from 64 communities across Alberta, along with NWT and Saskatchewan will come together for the largest sport and humanitarian event for individuals with intellectual disabilities in the province. “We leave on Feb. 8 and we come back on the 10th. Whoever qualifies in Calgary will make Team Alberta and go on to Thunder Bay next year,” added Faye. The games brings athletes from across the province together. “Our provincial Games is a unique opportunity to bring together our Alberta communities and create an inclusive and competitive experience, showing the abilities of people with intellectual disabilities,” said Johnny Byrne, president and CEO of Special Olympics Alberta. “This event allows our athletes to reach their personal bests and connect with athletes across the province.” Athletes will compete in eight winter sports: 5-pin bowling, alpine skiing, cross country skiing, curling, figure skating, f loor hockey, snowshoeing, and speed skating.

will compete at the 2020 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games in Thunder Bay, Ontario,” said coach Faye. “I sit on the board as the vice-chair with Carol Wideman, and then head coach for Tuesday, and then sort of the chair for any time we are going away to a provincial Games, whether it’s summer or winter, I’m the chair for that – to get stuff going and organized and get the teams ready to go.” The Special Olympics Alberta Winter Games will celebrate strength, sport and spirit. Over 1,100 athletes, coaches and mission staff representing over 23 Alberta communities. “A small community like this, whether it’s just the one team that’s going to go, I think is something to be proud of, coming from
a small community. Last summer, we went to Medicine Hat and we took a whole slew of athletes with softball, basketball, swimmers. Two of our swimmers went on to national Games,” said Faye. Special Olympics Alberta is dedicated to enriching the lives of Albertans with intellectual disabilities, through the transformative power and joy of sport. Their vision is that sport will open hearts and minds towards people with intellectual disabilities and create inclusive communities. “In a bigger community, when we were in Calgary, if you made a provincial team to represent Team Calgary, it was exciting, but it wasn’t...to me it wasn’t a big deal. But a small community like this, with the support from
the community and our affiliate, I think is really great,” added Faye. On Saturday, individual bowling will be pins over average. Then on Sunday, will be the team of the combined five scores pins over average. “We’re representing Camrose and we needed to pick a team name. And this was after John had bowled his 255 and Mitchell bowled his 296. They decided on Strike Force. So that’s what our team name is,” she said. “The deal is, we go in with the attitude, you go to have fun. You make some new friends. You try your best. And if you come home with a medal, that’s a bonus,” said Faye.
Bashaw searching for new ice machine By Murray Green
The Town of Bashaw is looking for a new ice surface machine for the arena. It became a step closer to reality when Camrose County agreed to fund part of the replacement. Councillor Jack Lyle made the motion that “Camrose County council approve a capital contribution of $50,000 to the ice machine replacement project in the Town of Bashaw, with funding to come from the recreation reserve.” The Town of Bashaw has had discussions around recreation, that has prompted them to also approach Ponoka and Stet-
tler County for recreation contributions. Both counties had questions about the Camrose County contributions before they made a decision. “The majority of users of the Bashaw Arena come from our ratepayers. Our numbers are higher than the town users,” reported administrator Paul King. The Town of Bashaw went to other counties first, because they already receive some recreation funds for Camrose County for programs. Total anticipated cost for the replacement for the ice machine is between $105,000 and $110,000.
The Town of Bashaw wants residents to have adequate access to leisure recreation, sport and assist community organizations in their effort to obtain operational and capital funding support. Camrose County tucked away $265,335 for recreation reserve for such projects. “This provides an opportunity for residents to access recreation programs in their local community,” added King. Councillor Doug Lyseng expressed his concerns about possible future funding requests from Hay Lakes, Kingman and Rosalind.
“I have the same concerns, but I’m in favour of helping them,” said councillor Trevor Miller. “I looked at the numbers and our children (of ratepayers), which make up more than 50 per cent of the users,” King said. “We set aside money each year to projects like this, so that is why I recommended this action.” Councillor Miller suggested that the Camrose County logo appear as a decal on the side of the ice machine, so people know that the County helped fund the machine.

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.

Kodiaks tame Bobcats
By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks scored the first three goals of the game and hung on to defeat the Lloydminster Bobcats 3-2 on Jan. 23. Tyler Schendel opened the scoring as the Kodiaks took a 1-0 lead in the first period. Cody Laskosky and Erik Miller scored and set up each other for tallies in the middle frame. Lloydminster replied with two goals before the period ended. Camrose shut down the scoring in the third with solid defence. Goalie Kyle Dumba made 29 of 31 saves, while the Kodiaks had 31 shots on goal as well. Camrose lost 5-1 to the first place Brooks Bandits on Jan. 19. Miller collected the only marker for the Kodiaks. Dumba stopped 46 of 51 shots, while Camrose
had 33 shots on the Brooks net. The Kodiaks needed overtime to beat the Drumheller Dragons 5-4, Jan. 18. It was even in the first period, 1-1 with Zach Vinnell scoring. Drumheller took the lead in the middle frame with two tallies. However, Camrose came out flying in the third with three straight goals before the Dragons scored in the last 14 seconds to force overtime. Laskosky, Robert Kincaid and Kyler Kupka scored third period markers for the Kodiaks. Kupka added his second of the night in the extra period. Dumba turned away 31 of the 35 shots directed his way in the Camrose net. The Kodiaks had 31 shots on goal. On Feb. 2, the Calgary Canucks are the visitors and the Olds Grizzlys provide the opposition on Feb. 7.
