Camrose Aquatic Centre is looking absolutely fabulous, even when viewed through safety glasses, instead of swim goggles, and while wearing steel-toed boots, work gloves and a hard hat, instead of trunks and flip flops.

Only finishing touches remain on the exciting new eight-lane/25-metre competition pool. Diving platforms remain to be installed. The new waterslide would be ready to ride, that is if the pool contained water. A cement pour will be done this week on the enticing lazy river. The expansive hot tub is also formed and ready for the next step in construction. The project setback, this being the roof on the decades-old pool, is now completely redone. And, when spring arrives, an all new spray park will be created. Deep services for this aspect of the $24 million dollar project were undertaken last fall, prior to freeze-up. You should be able to dip your toes into the water by late August or early September.

It’s been a long haul for this breathtaking complex, but the end result looks to be spectacular.

What went right?

It is said that we can learn from our mistakes.

Maybe, maybe not.

As a workshop leader once said, “They say that we learn from experience.

My observation is that some people learn from experience and some people just have experiences.”

I laughed – sort of. I wasn’t sure which category I fit into. That memory has flashed through my mind more than once in the past few weeks, as we’ve moved into the 2020s. ***

During this season of a new year and new decade, lots of us are taking a bit of time to think about what’s behind us and what might be ahead. I’m finding there is something about what’s happening in our province and country and world that’s causing me to spend more time than usual on new year reflecting.

Like others – maybe you too – I’m especially thinking about what all that’s going on in the world has to do with the tiny part of it that is my life.

When I say “tiny part,” I’m thinking the population of the world is about seven and a half billion, so that makes my part of it about 1/7,500,000,000th! ***

In this time when many of us are reflecting on the past year or decade and how we want to move forward, I’ve appreciated being part of several group events.

One event took us through a process to help clarify our over-arching intention for the year coming up. I found it helpful to have that big-picture intention as a filter when I make choices about where to direct attention in the next year.

After this process, another one I found useful used the metaphor of climbing a mountain.

If you were going to climb Mount Everest (which you’re probably not, and neither am I, but the metaphor works), you’d start at a base camp. You’d have done all the training you needed for proper fitness and climbing skill. Now you pack the gear and the supplies you’ll need for the first phase of the climb.

At the second camp, you stop and re-group. You ask four questions, in preparation for the next leg of the journey. What will I keep (still useful for the journey)?

What will I leave behind (not useful for the next phase)? What will I change (keep with modifications to better suit the next phase)? What will I add (new things needed for the next phase)?

And so on and so on for each phase of the journey to the summit and the journey back down. (It’s sobering to remember that the summit is only the halfway point of the total journey.)

Different journey phases and different life phases require different actions and skills and tools. Earlier ones weren’t wrong, but may need to change for new phases of our life journey, in new conditions. ***

In the midst of thinking about these questions, I was delighted when a newsletter popped into my inbox with the suggestion to learn from your successes. Ask, “What went right?” The author suggested thinking of three successes from the past year. For each one, ask: What choices and decisions were key to your success?

How did you maintain your focus? If you got off track, what did you do to get back on track? What patterns do you notice?

Then use the success patterns you’ve noticed as you’re planning a new project – or a new year. ***

As I’ve been asking myself all these questions, I haven’t always been comfortable with whatever answers popped into my mind.

At the perfect moment, I stumbled across this quote: “Don’t be afraid to be open-minded. Your brain isn’t going to fall out.”

That made me laugh, which might be the best guidance of all! ***

Young messenger

Arnold Malone’s column in your recent edition seemed to join some others in the criticism of Grethe Thunberg, a 16 -year-old girl, who came into prominence over the past year for her action on climate change.

“Kill the messenger” is what we say when we hear news we don’t want to deal with.

We, as a society, have known about the danger our over use of the earth’s resources can cause for over 100 years, but have done virtually nothing to alleviate that danger. In 1965, the then president of the United States, Lyndon Johnson, brought in legislation on climate change because the science of the day had, correctly warned of the coming potential disaster.

The leaders of the f inancial and energ y markets then declared war on the science and on truth. They took control of both the Republican and Democratic parties and directed them to pass laws that gutted the environmental laws, and, since they now controlled the lawmakers, had legislation passed that enabled them to control the ownership of the technology that allowed the US to become the richest most powerful country in the world. This was technology and wealth, that if used properly, could have saved the world from the mess we now find ourselves in. Instead of investing in education, health care, and climate change, these, mostly all white elderly males, grabbed virtually all the gains in productivity over the past 50 years.

They spent billions on propaganda, successfully convincing enough gullible people to believe that science and truth were only “false opinions.”

They claimed that the incredible fortunes they gained through these lies would benefit everyone.

We know how that story ended.

Yes, Grethe is a girl who does not provide solutions. She could not.

What she could do was what she did, that is criticize we adults for blindly accepting the propaganda that “the house is not really on fire.”

Yes, she travelled the world with her message with the help of some concerned adults and used transportation and resources which add to global warming. Everything has a cost. But what about the benefits?

I would say she was successful, and I consider her a great hero.

The 2020s maybe a decade of great hope, If we get some political leadership.

Harry Gaede, Camrose Photo radar

Photo radar is often criticized by drivers and is no doubt causing some degree of frustration among Camrose residents who see the new photo radar popping up around town. It’s often criticized as a tax grab and something that doesn’t really affect safety.

I think it’s similar to the “sin tax” often levied on things like alcohol, tobacco, gambling, and other things that offer short term satisfaction in exchange for long term and societal detriment.

It has a two fold benefit: discourage the activity and produce tax revenue.

Speeding to get somewhere a minute faster at the risk of increasing accidents sounds like it fits in that category.

Speed limits are not pulled out of thin air; they are the product of many expert researchers and city planners figuring out how to effectively facilitate traffic and keep people safe. When we violate them or, obviously, go through red lights, we jeopardize our safety and the safety of those around us.

As a penalty to the speedy individual with a cavalier attitude towards public safety, why not make them contribute a little more to the collective services that benefit all people?

As for discouraging the behaviour, I know that I for one, as someone who got more photo radar tickets than I’d like this year, will be slowing down. It would be advisable for all Camrose residents to do the same: both to increase public safety and to avoid the “tax” of the “speeding sin.”

David Metcalfe, Camrose

Need action

Given that mobile sources (cars, trucks, trains) contribute the vast majority of air pollutants, an estimated shortfall of almost 30,000 long haul truck drivers will occur over the next f ive years (StatsCan data), long distance transportation by rail is approximately three or four times more energy eff icient than long haul trucking, one trainload could replace the equivalent of several hundred long haul trucks, highway/ road maintenance is a significant component of municipal and provincial infrastructure spending: wouldn’t it make sense for some political party to advocate for a national transportation plan that would (i) double or triple Canada’s long haul railway capacity, (ii) alleviate looming manpower shortfalls in the trucking industry, (iii) reduce the maintenance costs on highways, (iv) reduce the backlog of shipping grain and other commodities to ports, (v) (probably) meet Canada’s emission targets in accordance with the Paris Climate Accord.

While the carbon tax contributes much needed tax dollars to government coffers; the direct action to reduce pollutants at the source makes more sense than the after-thefact, illogical strategy of a carbon tax to induce users to curtail fuel use.

After all, we became a Confederation as a result of building railways; why not contribute to rebuilding/upgrading our railway infrastructure to “greenify” Canada and simultaneously, make it more efficient. Perhaps, efficient passenger rail service could even be restored for those who like to travel by train.

Transportation costs to achieve this may be high but the indirect costs of not doing it are substantially higher.

Align Builders in Camrose set up a fund to support education scholarships in the construction field through the Battle River Community Foundation.

Staff and owners Mike Forre, Jolene Paulson and Ben Paulson started the fund to encourage youth to pursue a career in the construction business.

“We were trying to find a way to mark our fifth-

year anniversary at Align Builders as a business in Camrose. We wanted something meaningful for the community and for the construction community,” explained Ben. “We didn’t know where to start, so we reached out to the Battle River Community Foundation to set up a scholarship fund.”

Scholarships, once started, will be alternated between the École Camrose

Composite High School and Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School students in Camrose. “Instead of splitting the funds, we decided to alternate the schools and the student will be chosen by the high schools,” said Jolene.

“The nice thing about the fund is that we can add to it, or encourage other building construction companies to add to it as well,” said Ben.

Social health is good for your well-being

By Murray Green

Social health is our ability to form meaningful relationships with other people and interact in healthy, positive ways.

The way you connect to the people around you, adapt to different social situations, and experience a sense of belonging all contribute to your social health.

There are a lot of things that contribute to your overall health, including your relationships with other people.

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of

disease or infirmity. That’s because having meaningful relationships with other people can reduce stress and provide a sense of security that promotes good emotional health.

Research reveals that social interaction is especially important for older adults, because it keeps mental and physical health in peak condition and boosts the immune system, according to the Yale Medical Group.

Research has shown that social health also impacts your physical health. People who have less social involvement are

5606 48 Ave | 780.672.5559 more likely to experience drastic health problems than those who experience more social involvement.

Social activity may reduce blood pressure, heart rate and stress that are beneficial to good health. That’s why it’s so important to consider your social health as part of your overall wellbeing. If becoming more social makes you nervous, practice your social skills with people you already know to build your confidence.

Trying to change your personality to make more friends will prove exhausting and ultimately fruitless. You already have a lot to offer, so be yourself

as you work to build your social life.

Find people who share your interests. For example, if you like reading, you could join a book club or sign up for a local writing class. If you’re a runner, find yourself a running partner. If you’re an artist, seek out other creative people. Because you’ll already have something in common, it will be easier to form an initial connection.

Focus on quality, not quantity. It’s great to have a lot of friends, but it’s important to remember that meaningful, positive relationships are most valuable.

Social health is important for your well-being Continued from page 8

Choose friends who will encourage you to make healthy choices.

Surrounding yourself with people who want to see you succeed will help you reach your goals.

Your social health plays a big role in your overall well-being, so make sure you take the time to build healthy relationships with the people around you.

Social r el at ionsh ips — both qua ntity

a nd qu a l it y— a f fe c t mental health, health b e h av io r, p hy s ic a l health, and mortality risk. Social isolation of otherwise healthy, wellfunctioning individuals eventually results in psychological and physical disintegration, and even death.

Studies show that social relationships have shor t – a nd–long-t er m effects on health, for better and for worse, and that these effects emerge

in childhood and cascade throughout life to foster

cumulative advantage or disadvantage in health.

Keys to a New Staying hydrated

By Lori Larsen

The adult body is composed of up to 60 per cent water.

The composition of the brain and heart consists of 73 per cent water and the lungs are about 83 per cent water. The skin contains 64 per cent water, muscles and kidneys are 79 per cent and even the bones, which we might be surprised to learn, contain 31 per cent water.

Staying hydrated all day long in order to replenish fluids that are naturally lost is extremely beneficial to our overall health.

You in the New Year!

Benefits

Water helps prevent dry mouth and keeps your throat and lips moist. Dry mouth can be responsible for bad breath and unpleasant tastes and can also promote cavities.

Water takes care of the heart. Dehydration lowers a person’s blood volume which makes your heart work harder to pump the reduced amount of blood throughout your body delivering oxygen.

Water maintains a cooler body temperature. The human body releases heat by expanding blood vessels close to the skin’s surface, which explains a red face during exercising. If you are dehydrated a higher environmental temperature is required to trigger blood vessels to widen, the result is you stay hotter.

Water lubricates joints and provides nutrients to muscles. When well hydrated, the water inside and outside the cells of contracting muscles provides adequate nutrients and removes waste efficiently so you perform better.

Water is required to maintain supple skin. While drinking plenty of water will not prevent the onset of wrinkles it does maintain a healthy skin, which is the largest organ of our integumentary system.

Lastly water helps to cleanse the body inside and out. Cleansing the insides of our bodies is as important as taking as shower.

A person’s kidneys need water to filter waste from the blood and excrete it in urine. Keeping hydrated may also help prevent urinary tract infections and kidney stones. In severe cases of dehydration the kidneys may fail causing toxins to be build up in a person’s body.

So this year raise a glass of water and toast to better health.

Here are examples from 2019.

Checking in on mental well being

By Lori Larsen

Now that the holiday season is over and we are heading into a new year, stress levels can either be decreasing or increasing.

“We choose how we let stress impact us in many different ways, and paying attention to what stress does to our overall mind and body is of upmost importance,” said registered provisional psychologist Jessica Hutton.

Begin by recognizing the symptoms of stress.

Symptoms

According to Health Canada some signs of being over-stressed include: Feelings of irritability, sadness or guilt or negative thoughts.

Changes in sleep patterns, weight and/or appetite and restlessness.

Difficulty in concentrating or making decisions Loss of interest, enjoyment or energy in something you used to enjoy.

While a certain amount of stress in our lives is normal, too much stress increases the risk of diseases and illnesses

including heart disease, some type of bowel diseases and mental illness and can make it difficult for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar.

Stress has also been identified as a possible risk factor in Alzheimer’s disease and can cause biochemical changes in the immune system. “Stress physically impacts us and our long term health,” noted Hutton. “Learning to manage our stress actually can make us healthier humans for the years to come.”

Stress can also lead to alcohol and substance abuse, eating disorders and self inflicted harm or injury. “Stress impacts every single area of our lives.”

To minimize the risk of stress adversely affecting your health, Health Canada advises the following.

Begin by identifying what triggers stress in your life, which may include major events such as death of a loved one, loss or change in job, moving and marriage or divorce.

Long term concerns such

as financial problems, the future of your children, the stability of your job, or an ongoing illness with yourself or a loved one, can also trigger stress.

Other daily challenges such as traffic, rude people, mechanical or electronic break downs can add to stress. “One of the largest areas of stress can come from social media,” said Hutton. “Unplugging for certain periods of the day or restricting time and access can minimize exposure to stressful experiences.”

Positive coping

There is no secret formula for dealing with stress, every person views stress and deals with it in a different manner. “Your stress will be different than your partners, your neighbours and your best friends. This is normal.”

Once you are aware of what might be causing you stress, then you will be better prepared to do something about it and work on solutions.

Look for positive and healthy solutions to relieve

the problem. Understand you can only take control over the issues you can manage. Talking it out with friends, coworkers, family members and others you trust can also be helpful. People in your life may not even be aware you are going through stressful circumstances, a supportive listening ear can do wonders. Venting can help relieve pressure and the person you speak to may even be able to offer some suggestions and if need be, seek professional help.

“Seek out a counsellor you are comfortable with,” advised Hutton. “Therapists are trained specifically to work with you to identify areas of stress and will help you to mobilize multiple coping strategies that can provide short term relief and long term gain in reduction of stress on your life.”

Learn about stress management. Reduce tension and take your mind off your concerns with healthy physical activity, a massage, a hobby or meditation.

Go easy on yourself, we are, after all, just human.

Set realistic goals and

understand and accept your own limits.

“It is so easy to be critical, judgemental or competitive in this world, especially with social media. Limit exposure to things, people or experiences that may trigger a significant increase in stress until you have established strategies to reduce their impact on you.”

Stress prevention

Once you are able to lower your stress level, maintain with some of the following suggestions.

Make decisions. Procrastination causes more undue stress. Making a decision can be liberating.

Don’t be afraid to delegate to others and say “no.”

Think positive and be realistic.

Get in touch with your stress levels before they get out of hand and have adverse effects on your health. “Have a trusted someone who provides that reminder to care for yourself when the stress may feel engulfing,” concluded Hutton.

Learning to control your stress instead of your stress controlling you is the first step in a healthier mind, soul and body.

Camrose police report a quiet New Year’s Eve and Day

By Lori Larsen

CPS Inspector (administration and operational support) John Corbett indicated that the majority of the activities consisted of standard shoplifting incidents, noisy party complaints and high visibility checkstops.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Police conducted high visibility checkstops.

Corbett also stated that the number of motor vehicle collisions was minimal, which he attributed, in part, to the milder weather that has been occurring over the past couple of weeks.

CPS would like to thank the residents of Camrose for their part in ensuring a safer community.

Recreation master plan

By Lori Larsen

The City and County have been working together throughout the past year to develop the Regional Recreation Master Plan which was recently completed.

“Recreation keeps people healthy and happy and attracts residents and visitors to the community,” said City of Camrose general manager of Community Services Ryan Poole.

“The Master Plan helps the municipalities determine the present and near future needs of the community for recreation so the community can plan its efforts and budget.”

The plan, which was completed by RC Strategies, summarizes the findings from a community survey that included both City and County residents and larger user groups regarding the use and preferences on physical recreation facilities and activities.

Individual residents identified the following as top priorities for outdoor activities: a spray park, green spaces, walking paths, campgrounds and general parks. The aquatic centre, courts/gymnasium spaces and child play spaces were identified as top priorities for indoor spaces.

User groups indicated the following as top priorities: ball diamonds and pickleball courts for outdoor facilities and programming space (multi-use space) followed by sport fields (soccer) were the top priorities for indoor spaces.

Approximately 32 per cent of the residents surveyed felt that an increase in taxes could be justified to support recreation facilities, while another 32 per cent were unsure and 36 per cent were opposed.

Of the respondents, 78 per cent were satisfied with recreation in the region while 12 per cent felt unsure.

Respondents indicated that the number one reason they did not participate in recreation services was because they were too busy, the second reason was they were unaware of all the services available.

The City and County were happy to report that the overall findings indicated that the region has the right amount of facilities and services.

“The Camrose region has been known for providing great recreation services,” stated Poole. “The Master Plan now allows us to plan for maintaining that service and setting budgets in the coming year.”

The finalized Regional Recreation Master Plan can be viewed at www.camrose.ca.

Since then, the band has appeared at a few reunion concerts.

The Wheat Pool was a Canadian country rock band formed in Edmonton.

The band recorded three albums Township (2007),

CHICAGO MAN

Submitted Local actor Nick Goetz finds love in the wrong place and ends up as the murder victim, in the Churchmice Players version of Chicago that will be at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in February.

This year’s lineup for the Nordly’s Film and Arts Festival, running Feb. 14 through 16 at the Bailey Theatre, offers patrons a variety of films and musical interludes.

The opening ceremonies will take place on Friday, Feb. 14 with the annual “yes you can wear your tuxedo” black and white cocktail reception beginning at 6 p.m., with music provided

by The Steven Hartman Quartet.

At 7 p.m., be seated in the theatre for the Opening Ceremonies followed by the opening film The Fireflies are Gone, a 2018 highly acclaimed Canadian film directed by Sébastien Pilote.

The film features a frustrated teenager, played by Karelle Tremblay, who frees herself from her mother’s influence and her narrow life in a small industrial town to find her true self.

Lead actor Karelle Tremblay will be in attendance during the opening night.

Nominated for two Canadian Screen awards in 2019 and the winner of the award for Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2018, the film is noted to be a funny comingof-age story about a clever and cynical teenager.

After the first film is a break at 9:30 p.m. and attendees can enjoy some music provided by Stephen Olson. At 10:15 p.m., the next presentation is Sir, a 2018 film from India. It is a heartfelt drama portraying life in contemporary India, exploring the relationship of a domestic live-in worker and a man from a wealthy family.

Saturday, Feb. 15 starts off at 12:30 p.m. with the 2018 Denmark film, The Guilty, winner of awards for Best Feature and Best Director at the Canadian Film Festival in 2019. The thriller follows the story line of an alarm dispatcher, Asger Holm. Asger receives a call from a kidnapped woman and, when the call is suddenly disconnected, he begins a race against time to search for the woman, armed with only a phone. He quickly discovers it is much more than just kidnapping.

The Guilty premiered at Sundance and was Denmark’s submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2019 Academy Awards.

Saturday’s second film, The Dancing Dogs of Dombrova, stars local actor Douglas Nyback as Aaron, brother to Sarah, played by Katherine Fogler. The estranged siblings arrive in Dombrova to fulfil their dying grandmother’s wish – find, dig up,

and bring home the bones of her favourite childhood dog, Peter.

However, the search for the dog’s remains leads the brother and sister on a twisted journey through the wintry streets of Dombrova, meeting many colourful characters along the way, while dealing with their own struggles from a strained past.

The Dancing Dogs of Dombrova was nominated for the Comedy Vanguard award at the Austin Film Festival and won Best Feature and Best Director awards at the Canadian Film Fest.

Nyback and director Zack Bernbaum will be attending the Nordly’s festival for the 2:45 screening.

Saturday’s evening film begins at 7 p.m. and combines music and film in the rich documentary feature, Echo in the Canyon, a 2018 USA film. The film celebrates the explosion of popular music that came out of LA’s Laurel Canyon in the mid-’60s, including that of The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas and the Papas.

The festival continues at 9 p.m. with keeping attendees’ toes tapping and fingers snapping to the feature concert with Mallory Chipman and the Mystics. Mallory is an Edmonton-based, awardwinning singer/composer and a rising jazz star who has recently turned towards rock ’n’ roll. As the group’s bio says, the music of the Mystics “fuses Mallory’s love for poetic folk lyricism, gritty rock and roll vocals, and a pinch of psychedelic fairy dust.”

The late night feature on Saturday will have attendees feeling elation for one of the purest on-screen friendships of the year in The Peanut Butter Falcon. This 2019 USA adventure/comedy, directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, is set in the world of a modern Mark Twain. Zak, a young man with Down syndrome, runs away from the nursing home where he lives to chase his dream of becoming a professional wrestler by attending the wrestling school of The Salt Water Redneck. Zak’s coach is a small-time outlaw on the run and the two develop an unlikely friendship that has them living adventures in life along with Eleanor, a kind nursing home employee who is convinced to join them in their journey.

Starring Shia LaBeauf, Dakota Johnson and newcomer Zack Gottsagen, this movie ends the night with a surge of “feel good”.

Sunday, Feb. 16 promises even more terrific films,

which have been shortened by one film to encourage festival goers to keep the momentum of a weekend packed with entertainment going by attending the Afterparty.

Beginning at 12:30 p.m. is the classic 1931 USA film City Lights, a moving film chronicling Charlie Chaplin. The writer-director-star achieved new levels of grace in both physical comedy and dramatic poignancy, with this silent tale of a lovable vagrant falling for a young blind woman who sells flowers on the street and mistakes him for a millionaire.

The Nordlys audience will be treated to an extended introduction by Honorary Professor of Classic Cinema, Dr. Trond Trondsen.

At 3:15 p.m., enjoy the 2019 Canadian film, The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open, directed

by Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (who will be in attendance during the Festival) and Kathleen Hepburn.

The movie character comes across as a young Indigenous woman Rosie, barefoot and crying in the rain on the side of a busy street. What Áila soon discovers is that Rosie has just escaped a violent assault at the hands of her boyfriend. Áila brings Rosie home with her and, over the course of the evening, the two navigate the aftermath of this traumatic event. The film premiered at Berlinale and won Honourable Mention for Best Canadian Feature Film at TIFF.​ At 7 p.m., the final film befitting the title, The Farewell, is a 2019 USA/China production that follows a Chinese/American woman, Billi, when she returns to China after her beloved grandmother is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Billi struggles with her family’s decision to keep their matriarch in the dark about her own illness, as they stage an impromptu wedding to see her one last time. The film’s underlying theme is the fabric of what makes families. It masterfully combines humour with strong emotion in a moving tale of how a family unites to preserve the grace of it’s eldest member.

At 8:45 p.m., the official festival ends with closing ceremonies and the opportunity for attendees to vote for the Pretty Hill Award. Then it is off to the Afterparty at the Alice Hotel to visit, continue to compare notes, and enjoy some more live music.

Samajam inspires young musicians

presents…

By Murray Green

Samajam Canada music director Virginie Hamel wants to inspire young children to have a lifelong love for music.

The Montreal based entertainment company is going on tour in western Canada in January 2020 with its Rythmo 2 show.

One of those stops is in Camrose at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Jan. 12 at 2 p.m.

“The audience is the show. Rythmo 2 is a participative youth musical show in which all participants receive several musical instruments, including drumsticks, during the performance. They become musicians in the show,” explained Virginie.

“The two performers on stage go through the notes on stage to give everyone the experience of creating music. It is not just a musical show. We entertain the audience as we educate them about music and different rhythms of the world,” Virginie added.

“We aim to educate four- to 12-year-old children about music. We often go into schools and teach music in a similar way. The shows we are doing on tour will be more of a family show.”

The show has free admission, but you must have a ticket to get in.

“We’ve been having shows for 15 years. In the last three years, we have had about 1,300 shows around the world and 5,000 events. This is the first time we are going to Alberta and we are so excited to share our experiences with western Canada in nine shows in Alberta, BC and Yukon,” said Virginie.

With more than 80 per cent active participation time, the audience will create collectively music songs and games along with the performers.

She noted they can easily perform the show around the world with two performers on stage. “The most complicated part is shipping the 1,000 instruments from one show to the other,” she explained.

“We hope people enjoy the show and hopefully we can add some more dates to the tour as we go.”

New Year’s reflection

By Damien C. Kurek, MP Battle River-Crowfoot

There is much to reflect on as we begin 2020. Conservatives across the country reduced the once-held Liberal majority to a minority government, gained 22 seats and won the popular

agement, for our oil and gas industry, and for the principles of good governance.

The year 2019 was highlighted by a series of Liberal missteps including the SNC-Lavalin scandal. The construction giant, SNC-Lavalin, was accused of illegal activities including the bribing of foreign government officials. At the centre of the cover-up was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. He put the independence of Canada’s judiciary at risk and was found to have clearly violated ethics laws.

In Alberta especially, this last year saw the continued struggle of hardworking individuals held back by Liberal economic policies. The carbon-tax has led to higher costs of everyday essentials, bills C-48 and C-69 have destroyed confidence in the energy industry. We now have an economic environment that has led to the most personal bankruptcies in the last decade, and a scenario where almost half of Canadians are only $200 a month from insolvency.

Moving forward in 2020, the official opposition will hold the Prime Minister and his Liberal government to account for their out of control spending and reckless economic policies. This sky-rocketing debt, higher job losses, and declining business investment drives Canada’s Conservatives to champion our vital industries such as Canadian agriculture and oil and gas industries. We understand what it takes to enable hardworking people to prosper, promoting policies that will lower taxes, responsible spending, to make life more affordable for

“Come on…we’ll be late...” cries Grandma, as her grandson looks down at his shoes and complains, “Aw, Grandma! I don’t want to go...” It’s Midway Community Church’s 66th annual Caroling Outreach and poor Jackson can think of a dozen things he’d rather be doing.

Sound familiar? With so many competing demands —parties, shopping, baking, hanging out with friends and browsing social media— that dusty old caroling program will be such a drag…

But for those attending Cornerstone Christian Academy’s annual Elementary Pageant, the evening was anything but dull.

Jackson and his friends Gloria, Jasmine and Norman (played by Jeremiah Pouliot, Isabella Anderson, Lily Kauffman and Geoffrey Lowewen respectively) zipped through time in Mr. Olson’s top secret, but malfunctioning, time machine.

The audience was treated to a rocking performance as the students sang out the joy of Christmas over the past six decades. First 1978, (hey, what’s wrong with that bro’s hair?) with its disco rendition of “Let Us Love,” before jumping ahead to 1985 (no Internet! No cell phones!) where the students performed a rocking rendition of “Come, Let Us All Adore

Him” with “O Come, All Ye Faithful”. Then back to 1959 where Jackson encounters his much, much younger grandmother Betty (played

by Elyse Maunder) be-bopping to “Ring, Ring-a-ling”.

And then another quick jump ahead to 1998, where we were treated to the rap hit “Song of the Sheep and the Goats” featuring solos by cool kids Juan Arellano, Dawson Yuha and Judah Maunder, backed up by the all school choir.

With all this jumping around in time, Jackson’s starting to get a handle on why this dusty old caroling program is so important to his grandma, but it’s not until they jump back to the very first event in 1944 that he sees just how important the outreach mission has been. During the war efforts of 1944, young Hank (Cayden Ulriksen) is given a Christmas basket. That one small act of kindness combined with the realization that the ultimate gift we have all been given is Jesus, God’s own Son, would have an enormous impact on young Hank’s life.

When Jackson returns to the present, he’s more than ready to celebrate with Grandma Betty. “I finally understand how special this outreach is...,” he said to Grandma, as the play closes with a message from the

now old “Hank” Olson who is retiring after 45 years as minister of Midway Community Church. The kids blessed us with a toe-tapping reprisal of “Back to the Manger” as the play concludes.

Hours of rehearsal, line memorization, singing and choreography paid off as the students performed a nearly flawless rendition of Back to the Manager–a Caroling Adventure Through Time, written by Christy and Daniel Semsen. Music Director, Michelle Stewart, said this is one of her favourite plays with its comedic tone and music covering the decades.

In the hectic days leading up to Christmas, it is good to celebrate this simple message of God’s love. We are invited to respond by sharing this hope of Christmas with friends, family, neighbours and strangers. May you, like our time travelling students, be blessed this Christmas season with the knowledge that you are special and you are loved by God. The students, staff and board of Cornerstone Christian Academy in Kingman wished everyone a Merry Christmas. Christ is the reason for Christmas and once you go “back to the manger and recognize God’s greatest gift,” you will never be the same.

Kodiaks shut out Dragons in New Year’s Eve tilt

PLUMBING

By Murray Green

Back-to-back shut outs has the Camrose Kodiaks playing playoff hockey midway through the Alberta Junior Hockey League season.

Goalie Griffin Bowerman turned away all 28 shots directed his way to earn a win during the New Year’s Eve 3-0 victory.

Team leader Cody Laskosky opened the scoring in the first period with help from Erik Miller. Then Brett Wieschorster went to work with a goal each in the second and third periods to add insurance to the winning tally.

Before the break it was goalie Cole Tisdale who stopped all 31 shots he faced to lead his team to a 4-0 victory over the Calgary Canucks on Dec. 21.

Carson Kurylo started the scoring for the Kodiaks in the opening period on a power play.

The Kodiaks ended the middle frame with a flurry as Lyndon Grandberg started and finished the scoring. Griffin Fraser added a single marker in between the Grandberg tallies. The three goals were scored in about three minutes. Both goalies received stars of the game.

Camrose rallied early and hung on to defeat the Canmore Eagles 5-4 on Dec. 20.

Jarret Timmerman, Fraser and Miller netted first period markers to give the Kodiaks a 3-1 lead after the opening 20 minutes.

The Eagles soared in the middle frame with two goals before Miller notched his second of the game.

Wieschorster garnered the winner in the third before Canmore scored late in the period.

Bowerman turned away 25 of 29 shots in the Camrose net. The Kodiaks recorded 28 shots on goal.

Camrose will host the Okotoks Oilers on Jan. 7, Drumheller Dragons on Jan. 11 and the Olds Grizzlys on Jan. 14. All three games begin at 7 p.m. in the Encana Arena.

Jo Ann Marie Neff June 13, 1936 ~ December 30, 2019 Jo Ann Marie Neff of Camrose, Alberta, passed away on Monday, December 30, 2019 at the age of 83 years.

Jo Ann Marie Neff was born in Williston, North Dakota on June 13, 1936 to Lyle and Lulu Gubrud. After graduating from high school in Williston, she attended Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, where she met James (Jim) Neff, a young assistant choir director.

Jo Ann and Jim were drawn together by their shared love of music.

They were married on August 5, 1956. To this union were born four children Lois Jane, Mary Elinore, Stephen James and Paul Jonathan. Jim and Jo Ann had been married for sixty-three years at the time of Jo Ann’s passing.

Along with Jim, Jo Ann raised their four children and then, in 1975, resumed her higher education path. She earned a Bachelor of Education Degree and became a school teacher, with a specialty in music, at Chester Ronning Elementary School from 1977 to 1993.

She was an excellent teacher and loved teaching and her students.

She often heard from previous students about the profound and positive impact she had on them at a young age.

Jo Ann loved her family, music, reading, learning, flowers, animals (especially cats) and gardening. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother. Her strong Christian faith was unshakable and of vital importance to her and she shared it with many people during her lifetime. She played an active role in her faith community at Bethel and beyond.

Jo Ann made many friends over her lifetime and was a ray of sunshine to so many people with her positive, kind and joyous outlook. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Jo Ann is survived by her husband Jim; children Lois Maunder, Stephen Neff (Bev Mayer) and Paul (Diane) Neff; four grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; and siblings Robert (Janet) Gubrud of Bradenton, Florida and Lois (Harold) Solberg of Racine, Wisconsin.

Laura Crawford who passed away on January 10, 2012 Missing someone isn’t about how long it’s been since you’ve last seen them, or how much time has lapsed since you last talked.

It’s more than that. It’s about that very moment when you find yourself doing something and wishing they were right there with you. As we sit and whisper, “I miss you”, we believe somehow you can still hear us.

Gone from sight, but never from our hearts.

Paridas knew his future car inside out

By Murray Green

Leon Paridas of Bashaw often admired the car from a distance. Now he enjoys driving the 1976 Chevrolet Malibu he acquired less than a year ago.

“I bought the car from a good friend of mine, a neighbour, because I received a good deal and I really knew the car,” explained Leon.

“I’m the third owner of this car and it has only 80,000 miles on it. Everything in it is in A1 shape,” added Leon.

The vehicle is no stranger to car shows. The previous owner often entered the Bashaw car show as well.

“I belong to a car club in Red Deer and I got tired of being asked what kind of a car I drive,” laughed Leon. “I told people that I have nothing to show at this moment. Now I have a car to show.”

The Chevrolet Malibu is a mid-size car manufactured and marketed

by Chevrolet from 1964 to 1983 and since 1997. The Malibu began as a trimlevel of the Chevrolet Chevelle, becoming its own model line in 1978. Originally a rear-wheel-drive intermediate, GM revived the Malibu nameplate as a front-wheeldrive car in 1997.

“I wanted this Malibu because I knew the car and what condition it was in.

I saw it all the time and I knew he was putting the car up for sale (last spring)

MALIBU STYLE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Most of the miles Leon Paridas puts on his 1976 Chevrolet Malibu are from going to car shows. He admired the car his neighbour had and eventually purchased it to hit the road.

and I thought this was my chance to buy it.”

Named after coastal community of Malibu, California, the Malibu was marketed primarily in North America, with the eighth generation introduced globally.

FUN FACTS

The Chevelle was redesigned for the 1973 model year. Models included the base deluxe, mid-range Malibu, Malibu SS and the top-line Laguna.

For 1974, the deluxe was dropped, and the Malibu became the entry-level Chevelle. The Laguna trim package was replaced with the Malibu Classic, which used a stacked arrangement of four rectangular headlights and made its way to the dealers in the 1976 model year, offering the Chevrolet built inline six 250 CID as the base engine. The Laguna S-3 model was introduced to replace the SS and continued through 1976.

The Malibu was an extensively used body style in NASCAR competition from 1973 to 1983. The Laguna S-3 variant, in particular, was successful during the 1975 through 1977 racing seasons, with Cale Yarborough winning 20 races in those years as well as winning the NASCAR championship one year. Because it was considered a limited edition model, NASCAR declared it ineligible for competition following the 1977 season, even though (given NASCARs threeyear eligibility rule) it should have been allowed to run through 1979.

“This car isn’t so much a classic or an antique as some other cars, but to me it is a good car to take to shows. I don’t go to win anything, I just like going to car shows and enjoy talking to other people,” shared Leon.

“I drive a newer Malibu every day, so the brand name and model is familiar to me. I like driving the older classic cars. It really handles nice down the road.”

He only made minor adjustments to the green machine. “In the trunk there was no carpet, so I installed that and put in a new radiator hose. I also cleaned up the motor a bit for showing, so I haven’t done a lot to it,” said Leon.

The smooth looking car only needs an upgrade to the bumper. “When I go to swap meets I will be looking around for a better bumper with chrome. I may have to order one from the States.

I want to keep this car as original as I can. I don’t

want a hot rod,” chuckled Leon.

“The car was re-painted at some point. It was a lighter green originally.

The previous owner’s son, who was a body man, paint-

ed the car. He did a good job,” said Leon.

“I like to go to car shows within Alberta. I go to five more, other than Bashaw,” said Paridas, who is one of the organizers of the show.

Hansen brothers lost chance for Olympics

By Murray Green

The original Hansen brothers from between Hay Lakes and Camrose had a lot of hockey success back in the 1920s.

They stuck to playing hockey, not like the famous Hansen Brothers in the 1977 movie Slapshot.

The first Hansen brothers played hockey in Camrose and then went to Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Author Gary Zeman went into details in the book Alberta on Ice – the History of Hockey in Alberta discussing the story of the Hansen Brothers of Camrose County and their international hockey story, which began many years ago.

A round 1910-11, John ​ and Marie (Scotvold) Hansen moved from South Dakota to farm near Camrose. They needed a big farm for their three girls (Mae, Martha and Ann) and seven boys (Julius, Joe, Louis, Emil, Oscar, Emery and Alfred).

Back in the hockey season of 1927-28, Julius, Joe, Louis, Emil and Oscar ended up playing hockey at Augsburg College.

The team basically consisted of the Hansens and a goalie. There were no hockey scholarships at Augsburg for farm boys from Canada. The five were born in South Dakota.

One of the major competitors for Augsburg was the army team stationed at Fort Snelling, Minnesota.

They were talented, but were invariably defeated by the college, thanks to the Hansen brothers.

Rolf Felstad of the Minneapolis Times-Tribune reported that a fight between the two clubs was stopped in a sudden manner. A melee ignited when Oscar Hansen was crushed into the boards on a heavy check by an army player.

Brother Emil observed his family member lying in a heap. He fought the army player and both benches cleared. It was a fight to the finish. An army commander did not appreciate what was happening.

He came to centre ice and pulled his revolver. Emil and the rest of the pugilists immediately ceased fighting.

It is not known what the administration at Augsburg said to the Hansens when they returned to the Lutheran College.

The army club was fortunate that a younger Hansen brother, Emery, was still in Camrose. Emery was playing with the junior Camrose Flyers. Emery did

end up in Minnesota at some point. He played professional hockey with the St. Paul Saints.

The Augsburg Auggies were becoming well known. They expected to win every game. Another match against Fort Snelling had the Auggies dominating play. Oscar thought he would wake up his own goalie, Wallace “Moose” Swanson and help Uncle Sam. He fired the puck into his own net. Moose woke up.

A moment later, Oscar took the puck through the army team and scored.

Moose commented that it was sometimes difficult to stay alert … and awake in goal with the Hansens.

Moose lost his shutout in the 4-1 victory.

According to Zeman, US teams were being considered for the 1928 Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland. The US Olympic Committee delayed the selection of a team. The reasons for this were never known.

The universities of Boston and Minnesota were offered the opportunity to compete. The Minnesota Gophers decided this would take too much time from classes and the cost would be too great. Boston University bowed out. Eleleth Junior College, Minnesota could not come up with the funds. Even Harvard was not ready or able for the Olympic venture. It finally came down to “Augsburg College in Minneapolis to accept the invitation to represent the USA at the 1928 Olympics”. William S. Haddock, of Pittsburgh, chairman of the US Olympic Hockey Committee finally had a team.

Augsburg had one problem. They would have to raise half of the money to go. They needed $4,500.

In 1928, a carton of milk was 10 cents, coffee 50 cents a pound, a car $400, gas 20 cents a gallon and an average house price was $2,500.

The team did not even have a bank account.

First National Bank’s vice president J. G. Byam was named treasurer of the hockey fund. Contributions poured in. Then Samuel O. Severson pledged $2,500.

Severson had taught English and Chemistry at Augsburg from 1904-15.

In 1906, he also became Augsburg’s first athletic director.

The South Side Commercial Club of Minneapolis promised a large donation. Plans were made for a benefit game with Augsburg’s old rivals Fort Snel-

Let me play out this scenario for you…

You get into an accident. Your insurance company says, “Take your vehicle to so and so.”

But you say, “I want to take it to The Auto Shoppe – I know Jackie Rae is the celebrity apprentice there, and she wouldn’t lead me astray!”

All joking aside, where you take your vehicle after an accident is the most important decision you can make. Two reasons: Number 1: You need to take it to a shop certified by the world’s leading auto manufacturers.

Number 2: You need someone you can trust, and that’s The Auto Shoppe in Camrose.

Wow, now that’s a body shop.

ling. The Minneapolis Figure Skating Club and two speed skaters would combine for an entertainment package. Everything was quickly falling into place.

The Hansens were also ready to donate. There was 10,000 bushels of grain stored in Camrose valued at $1,500. The Camrose Canadian reported on Jan. 19, 1928, “When the amateur hockey team representing the United States at the Olympics to be held in St. Moritz, Switzerland, sails from New York, five Camrose players will be with them to participate.

These boys are well known, not only to hockey fans, but

also to the public generally. Their parents live just north of Camrose. Mr. and Mrs. John Hansen have every reason to be proud of their sons Julius, Joe, Emil, Louis and Oscar who will lead the attack for the American team.”

With time running down, Willam Haddock, who had selected the Augsburg team, received a telegram from the secretary of the Olympic committee.

“Major General Douglas MacArthur instructs me to inform you that the hockey team recommended is not regarded as a representative team and certification by the American

Olympic committee, so it is disapproved.”

In 1994, one of Oscar’s sons, David, said, “The Olympics story was a shame. My dad and uncles really got taken. Augsburg really got taken. That could have put the school on the map. If they would have gone to the Olympics, they would have won, hands down.”

Emery Hansen went to Minneapolis after the 1928 Olympics to play professional hockey and then came back to farm. His cousin, Evy Scotvold, also played professional hockey in Minneapolis.

Making wishes come true for little Beckett and his family

By Lori Larsen

His story captured the hearts of many Camrose and area residents, but it is his cheerful disposition and infectious zest for life, his big blue eyes and his dimpled smile that instill hope in all that is good in our communities and our world.

When you have the pleasure of meeting four-year-old Beckett Burnstad in person, you quickly understand the tenacity of a child and how, while many see the dark side of adversity, Beckett has learned to face it head on, a lesson we could all use.

Little Beckett Burnstad’s “community pulls together” story began in the summer of 2018 after a social media campaign to attempt to raise funds to be put towards a costly wheelchair for the then two-year old Beckett. It took off like a rocket after The Camrose Booster staff members learned of a weekend bottle drive in the village of Round Hill. As an infant, Beckett developed mysterious illness symptoms, which eventually revealed a diagnosis of Lyme Disease, plus coxsackievirus, by a lab in Germany.

Over the past year and a half, Beckett has been on a journey of healing, including frequent trips to British Columbia as part of his treatments, which meant a lot of time spent away Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster from home for Beckett and his mother Beckett takes up roost on mother Rebakah’s lap while he Rebekah. stirs her coffee for her, a simple gesture that we take for Despite the challenge it placed on granted, but indicates leaps and bounds in his journey to the family, they remained strong and wellness. the communities continued to rally walk. “We were all so excited when we heard around the family offering support in as many that, we started jumping up and down in the ways as possible. office.”

Fast forward to the present and Rebekah Rebekah said that Beckett’s hand strength reports that Beckett has made great progress. has improved so much that he is now using “At the last checkup, there were no signs one hand independent of the other and, prior of regression. His muscle strength and all his to settling in at night, he can clasp his hands numbers have gone up.”

In fact, the news is so encouraging that together in prayer.

“It is actually very hard to do, we just take Rebekah said the same neurologists who told the Burnstad family that Beckett would likely it for granted. But for Beckett, so many little never walk pronounced at his last check up things add to big things. We don’t measure sucthat it is reasonable goal for Beckett to start to cesses as milestones, we call them inchstones.”

For this little fellow, every inch he moves forward is something the family is determined to celebrate and they – mom Rebekah, father Josh and siblings Adleigh, Kai and Jaidan – do it all selflessly.

In hopes of showing her children just how much their patience, support and undying love for Beckett and his road to healing has meant to her and father Josh, Rebekah decided to apply to the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada (Make A Wish Canada), in hopes of being granted a dream of an amazing family vacation to Walt Disney World.

“I remember crying for two days before I actually applied, thinking there are so many other deserving children. I didn’t want to take away from other families.” But encouraged by a Make A Wish representative, Rebekah sent away the application, never dreaming the wish would come true. So much so that when she did receive the call that her application was successful and the family was going on a dream trip to Walt Disney World, she replied, “Oh that’s great” and ended the call. She immediately telephoned back, explaining that she couldn’t believe it was true.

“The Make A Wish is for Beckett, of course, but it is a family wish,” said Rebekah, through strained emotion, stressing how important it is for their six-year-old daughter Adleigh who, due to the extra caregiving for Beckett, missed having particularly her mom Rebekah around during her own little life of achievements and growth.

“It is her turn to go be a princess. I never dreamed in my years that we would be able to go to Disney World,” said Rebekah through tears, “Because we have been putting so much money into Beckett’s care.”

The family (children) were officially surprised with the announcement over the Christmas break and will be taking the holiday from Jan. 14 to 21.

“They make everything super extraordinary,” gleamed Rebekah. “It is going to be such a special trip.”

It will be trip of a lifetime for a family with a lifetime of hurdles already behind them and no doubt more to come. But for seven wonderful days, they can bask in joy in one of the happiest places on earth.

Beginning a new year, new decade on the right foot

By Lori Larsen

Maintaining a well balanced diet, according to the Canada Food Guide, can be a life changer and begins by eating a variety of healthy foods every day.

Recommended intake

Daily intake of food should include at least three to five servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruits.

A typical vegetable serving would be one cup of raw leafy vegetables, 1/2 cup of other vegetables cooked or raw and 3/4 cup of vegetable juice. A typical fruit serving would be one medium apple, banana, orange or pear, 1/2 cup of chopped, cooked or canned fruit and 3/4 cup of fruit juice (preferably natural unsweetened).

Also included in a healthy daily consumption should be at least six servings of whole grain foods. A typical serving of whole grains includes one slice of bread, approximately one cup of ready-toeat cereal and 1/2 cup of cooked cereal, rice or pasta.

A daily intake of protein-based foods should total at least two to three servings of dairy based proteins and two to three servings of meat or other proteins.

A typical dairy based serving could includes one cup of milk, low or reduced fat yogurt or milk, one and 1/2 ounces of natural cheese, low or reduced fat cheese (such

as cheddar) or two ounces of processed cheese (such as American).

A typical meat or other protein serving could include two to three ounces of cooked lean meat, poultry or fish, 1/2 cup of cooked dry beans or 1/2 cup of tofu which counts as one ounce of lean meat, two and 1/2-ounce soyburger or one egg which counts as one ounce of lean meat, two tablespoons of peanut butter or 1/3 cup of nuts, which counts as one ounce of meat.

Other valuable tips

Always choose foods that contain healthy fats instead of saturated fats.

Limit the amount of sodium, sugars and processed foods.

According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, an adequate daily fluid intake consists of approximately 15.5 cups (3.7 litres) of fluids for men and approximately 11.5 cups (2.7 litre) of fluids a day for women. Make plain water your number one choice of beverage.

Food labels provide information including exact ingredients and nutritional facts. Read them carefully.

Marketing plays a huge role in our everyday choices, including what we eat and drink. Be wise when it comes to food marketing and use your personal judgement as to whether a product is the right fit for your balanced diet.

Educate children on making own food or choose locally grown wise choices for a healthy bal- and produced products where you anced diet.

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.

January is Alzheimer’s Month

By Murray Green

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney recognizes patients and their loved ones during Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. “Alzheimer’s Awareness Month is an opportunity to focus on people living with this devastating dementia, and the communities that walk these difficult journeys alongside them,” said Premier Kenney.

“Alzheimer’s and all forms of dementia often present barriers like fear and stigma. Patients hide their symptoms and even resist treatment while this form of dementia robs them of their memories and independence.”

Meanwhile, families and communities face challenges as they provide support and resources to those living with Alzheimer’s.

“I invite all Albertans to join me in honouring the humanity and enormous courage of people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, and the people who care for them.”

Kincaid called up to junior tournament

By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks defenceman Robert Kincaid was called up to join Team West at the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) Prospects game roster at the end of the year.

The Canadian Junior Hockey League, in part-

nership with the National Hockey League, Hockey Canada and NHL Central Scouting announced the change. The game is to be played on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at the Dave Andreychuk Arena in Hamilton, Ontario.

Kincaid replaces blueliner Mac Gross, who

departed the Kindersley Klippers (SJHL) after signing with the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League.

The 17-year-old Kincaid hails from Barrhead and has scored one goal and added 14 assists in 32 AJHL games this season.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Valuable farmland with residence

By Lori Larsen

Imagine living on your own quarter section of land only two miles from Camrose with room to roam and enough land to suit many different options.

The property has a livable residence with water, gas and power, but what makes this an amazing deal is the full 160-acre parcel of land.

Throughout the yardsite are mature trees, fruit bushes, shrubs and a large garden that would be an organic gardener’s dream.

The yard itself is surrounded and protected by mature spruce trees creating a wonderful shelterbelt for horses, sheep or cattle.

The large barn could be used for sheltering livestock, a tack room or a hobby room. Even more outbuildings offer room for storing vehicles, recreational vehicles or the potential for a shop.

The possibility for subdividing the

Wally Wrubleski yardsite and selling to a neighbouring farmer could provide future income or you could consider leasing the land, while enjoying the benefits of country living yourself.

This is truly an opportunity that does not come along often.

The quarter of land is just over two miles north of the Camrose Golf Course.

This property, located at 20314 Township Road 474, is priced at $699,900 and has great potential, being so close to all the amenities of Camrose with enough land to suit a variety of uses. For more information or to set up a private viewing, contact Wally Wrubleski at: Central Agencies Realty Inc. 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 Cell 780-781-7323

ber of the silver medalwinning AJHL Selects side that represented the CJHL and Hockey Canada at the Junior Club World Cup this past August in Sochi, Russia.

In 50 career games with the Kodiaks, Kincaid has supplied four tallies along with 20 helpers.

The CJHL Prospects Game is one of the premier Junior A hockey events in the country and provides tremendous exposure for CJHL players to play in front of scouts from all over the hockey world including the NHL, CHL, NCAA and U Sports.

The President’s Cup

is awarded to the winning team in the CJHL Prospects Game.

From 2005-08, the event ran as a single game, but starting in 2009 the President’s Cup was played as a two-game series where the combined score of the games determined the winner of the title.

The contest has now gone back to a single-game format along with player testing, both on-ice and off-ice, having been introduced. Since its inception, Team West has won nine times while Team East has come away victorious on five occasions.
