The Weasel (Keegan Will) and the Ferret (Kyra Gusdal) are up to no good as they get ready to attack the Badger, Water Rat, Mole and Toad in the Augustana Drama Department’s version of The Wind in the Willows play. The play will be shown in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre from Wednesday, January 22 to Sunday, January 26. This timeless classic, written by Kenneth Grahame, began as a bedtime story he told to his son, Allister. The story takes place in Edwardian England at a time when horse and wagon were competing with the automobile. For more information on The Wind in the Willows play, turn to page 16 of this issue.

Cold enough for ya?

The weather forecast tells me that on the day you’re reading this, the temperature in East Central Alberta is practically balmy– only a few degrees below freezing. Where I am right now, the outdoor temperature is minus 37 with a wind chill of minus 50 or something. I learned this week that the heating system of the building I live in was not designed for outdoor temperatures as low as minus 37. The heating system is pumping its little heart out, but can’t seem to warm up the units past room temperatures in the mid-teens. Yep, layers of sweaters. So what does this have to do with anything that matters to you? Well, I’m thinking our Canadian weather probably impacts us in ways we don’t think of as anything. The cold is top of mind. It’s certainly affecting my behaviour. I’m more wimpy than I’d like to admit–or possibly more resourceful. I’ve discovered it’s amazing how many groceries I don’t need after all, so I don’t have to poke my nose outside for another few days. We Canadians have different standards of what’s considered “cold” and what’s not. A friend who visited Arizona during the summer told me a story of staying in a smallish motel that had a pool. The motel owner was interested to learn my friend was from Canada and commented about “crazy Canucks.” The motel owner’s example of crazy Canucks was, “They come down here in the dead of winter when it’s only 70 degrees (about plus 19 Celsius) and swim in the pool!” My friend thought that was funny. Once when I was in Hawaii, the temperature on one island dipped to the low sixties Fahrenheit (about plus 15 Celsius). For Hawaiians, that was considered a crisis. Canadian tourists–aware of their back-home winter temperatures–found it funny. This reminded me of a “Temperature Chart for Canadians” that someone emailed me. There are several versions online. Here’s a sample (temperatures in Celsius). Plus 20: Texans turn on the heat and unpack the thermal underwear. Canadians go swimming in lakes. Zero: Distilled water freezes. Lake Superior’s water gets thicker. Minus 45: Polar bears begin to evacuate the Arctic. Canadian Boy Scouts postpone “Winter Survival” classes until it gets cold enough. Minus 165: Microbial life no longer survives on dairy products. Canadian cows complain about farmers with cold hands. Minus 246: Absolute zero. All atomic motion stops. Canadians start saying, “Cold enough for ya?” Minus 500: Hell freezes over. Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup. The “Temperature Chart for Canadians” was originally written by Newfoundlanders, who have produced an astonishing number of Canadian comedians. I’m wondering if Newfoundland’s harsh weather and terrain (“Welcome to The Rock”) and difficult economic conditions contribute to Newfoundlanders’ warm friendliness and sense of humour. I’m wondering if, in Canada as a whole, our less-than-friendly winter weather and often harsh terrain drive us to humour. It’s not only a coping mechanism but a survival mechanism. In years when I worked with people in highly volatile careers–police officers and emergency medical responders and firefighters, for example–I got to appreciate black humour. If you can laugh about it, you can survive it. Laughing is not the only coping mechanism. In fact, I’ve learned over the decades that at some point we actually have to confront and dive more deeply into things that cause us pain. But finding humour gives us enough of a lift that we can muster up the courage to face what has to be faced, and then the resourcefulness to figure out how to deal with tough situations. You know, like staying in a chilly building and not going out for groceries when the outdoor temperature is minus 37! Okay, I’m joking about what constitutes a “tough situation.” But somewhere in there is a nugget about how our Canadian weather impacts our minds and hearts and identities, as well as our bodies and living conditions and livelihoods. I’d love to hear from you! If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

Why isn’t our “army” trained for disasters? When dry season is here and you know it’s fire season, they should be sent immediately to help the firemen. Not a month later like Australia. With the shutting down of the forest industry in B.C., look out. The forests have to be managed so there are breaks: so if a fire starts, it can be stopped. It’s a repeat every year. Sheila Faulkner, Donalda Hospital parking

Last month, I read in The Booster that St. Mary’s Hospital would be charging for parking. Now it has come to pass. In my opinion…charging for parking at a hospital is just plain wrong. (The argument that other hospitals do it doesn’t make it right.) People who go to a hospital generally have larger matters on their minds and to ding them a few bucks for parking just seems petty and cruel. St. Mary’s Hospital (according to its website) “serves with hospitality and compassion.” I’ve seen that inside the walls, but it should be evident outside, too. Maybe the “parking meter kiosk” could be once again hidden under black plastic bags; it could then serve as a fitting monument to an imprudent decision. John Olson, Camrose Precious planet

The Booster, Dec. 31, has four interesting letters that deserve comment. A quote from Bonnie Hutchinson: “The voices of anger, incivility, greed, and divisiveness sound louder than the voices of kindness, courtesy, gratitude, and recognition of our common humanity on a small precious planet.” Nothing can be said that would be more true. I would disagree with one common belief, though. Our precious planet is not small. It is huge. It is our universe. To put it in perspective, consider walking across a continent or sailing across an ocean. It is more than big enough to supply all seven billion humans their needs, as well as the rest of nature, if we didn’t waste resources killing each other and would get rid of a cancerous economy based on growth and greed, which now is in the process

of destroying the ability of our planet to support life. Mr. Nelson’s letter is of interest because he reports how our Conservative government was caught in an act of deception. Mr. Doug Schweitzer implied that the provincial government provided $286,000,000 to assist in rural policing, when in fact the money came mostly from rural municipalities, $200,000,000 and the federal government, $86,000,000. It just goes to show, one cannot trust our provincial government to speak truth. Mr. Lynn Clark’s letter makes no sense at all. But then does Alberta politics make any sense? Clark seems to think that those who earn the most should have the most political power. Unfortunately, due to lobbying that is too much the case as it is. This is why we have democracy, so that the rich are less able to trample on the rights of the less rich. His numbers, we in Alberta earning 37 per cent of the total, but with only 22 per cent of the political power, seems unfair to him. Isn’t this the case for most of the rich, who greedily cling to their riches? It is a shame that Alberta politicians whine about how Alberta is treated unfairly in Canada, when we Albertans should be happy to live in this great province and be proud to be part of this great country, Canada. Mr. Ken Eshpeter’s letter is a breath of fresh air when it comes to speaking truth. I was shocked, however, to read how Mr. Arnold Malone has criticized that wonderfully brave and wise teenager, Greta Thunberg. Arnold Baker, Camrose Same story

Unfortunately, the cartoon that was at the very heart of my opinion piece dated Dec. 31 could not be printed due to copyright issues. The cartoon entitled The Milch Cow was sketched by Arch Dale and printed in The Grain Grower’s Guide in 1915, Glenbow Archives NA 3055-24. Of critical importance is the recognition that the cartoon was printed in 1915 and depicts a dairy cow grazing in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba with the udder suspended over Ontario and Quebec being milked by bankers, capitalists and politicians

in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. So…during the past 104 years of sending Liberals, Conservatives, CCF/ NDP, independents and Socreds to Ottawa, nothing has changed. Preston Manning’s Reform, plus Stockwell Day’s Alliance were permeated with Alt-right evangelicals that proved unable to mitigate western alienation. Justin Trudeau promised electoral reform... didn’t happen; Stephen Harper promised a major overhaul of equalization payments…didn’t happen. Still waiting for pipelines… So where does the west go from here? A common sense, political centrist, western Bloc party free from the trappings of ideologues would work if the proposed party could convince logical people to abandon their tribal and partisan roots. The illogicals would probably continue to reside inside their partisan tent. Perhaps, a draft Brent Rathgeber movement, who was a former MP from St. Albert and who sat as a back-bencher, might appeal to many voters. Worthwhile considering? Lynn Clark, Camrose Waiting game

What is the government waiting for? The international community has pledged a new round of disease prevention through the Global Polio Initiative, but Canada is nowhere to be found. Vaccinations are the cheapest, most effective way to prevent disease and reduce poverty worldwide. Disease and poverty are twin sides of the same coin: someone suffering from measles, malaria or polio or a whole host of other preventable diseases cannot work or support a family. It makes far more economic sense to fund vaccinations than complex medical services for the sick. The world knows this and most developed nations have already pledged their share of funding. But where is Canada? The election was a long time ago, yet Minister Gould is still missing in action. While the world waits for Canada to act, recent outbreaks of polio and measles show that infectious diseases do not. Francis Beckow , Victoria, BC

Welcome to the inaugural “Ask the Chief” column in partnership with The Camrose Booster. We hope to run this column biweekly to shed some light on questions that the community may have about the Camrose Police Service and the issues surrounding law enforcement. This week, I have been asked to provide some context surrounding manual traffic enforcement versus electronic enforcement. In the past, the only way for motorists to receive a violation for a traffic offence was to have a police officer pull them over and issue a ticket. Typically, a ticket was divided into two categories, a moving offence (i.e. speeding, unsafe left turn, red light infraction), or a non-moving offence (i.e. no registration or insurance, burnt out headlamp). If convicted, a moving offence would carry not only a monetary penalty, but demerit points against your licence as well, which could impact insurance rates. Nonmoving offences have no demerit points attached to them, which typically do not impact insurance rates. Needless to say, most people tend to drive safe-

ly when a marked police vehicle is around which is great to see. However, improvements in technology has allowed for additional deterrents and consequences for poor driving habits when police cars are not around and visible. These have become known as photo radar and intersection safety devices. They still carry a monetary penalty for an offence, but because it identifies the vehicle rather than the driver, no demerit points are attached to electronic enforcement violations. There are strict guidelines for where electronic enforcement can be implemented, set out by the provincial government. Some of these guidelines include roadways where traditional enforcement creates a hazard or is unsafe, a high collision intersection, a school zone or playground zone, and an area where there is a demonstrated history of speeding or community concern. I recognize that nobody appreciates getting a traffic ticket in person or electronically, but I believe both processes do have value in helping to keep our roadways safer.

It will soon cost you more to mail a letter. Canada Post will be increasing the cost of a domestic stamp to 92 cents from 90 cents on Jan. 26. Stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane for domestic items weighing 30 grams or less are increasing by two cents. The price of a single domestic stamp will increase to $1.07. Standard letters will cost $1.07 for a single stamp and $0.92 if purchased in a booklet or bulk format. That same letter would cost $1.30 to send to the United States and $2.71 internationally. If your letter is between 30 and 50 grams, it will

cost $1.30 within Canada, $1.94 to the United States and $3.88 internationally. Letters more than 100 grams will be $1.94 within Canada, $3.19 to the US and $6.39 internationally. Older stamps displaying money values can still be used on your mail. If you have enough to equal the current stamp price, use them as you would use the new, permanent stamps. If you need more to make up the difference in postage, you can get it at your post office. Canadians can avoid the increases by purchasing permanent stamps at the current rate before the new rates take effect.

Support a friend with mental health issues By Alberta Health Services

Do you have a friend who just doesn’t seem to be their usual self? Something about them has changed, and you’re wondering what’s going on? Friends can be the first ones to notice changes in a friend. It may be a change in mood, certain behaviours, or in activities they used to enjoy. You may notice that your friend seems to be tired all the time or is easily annoyed. Maybe they’ve stopped hanging out and are spending more time alone. Sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint what’s different about them, but you just have a sense that something’s wrong. Maybe they’ve told you that they’re having struggles. Many people turn to their friends for help if they’re having a problem. Knowing how to support someone is an important part of being a friend. Signs a friend may need some support: They don’t seem to enjoy activities as much anymore. They seem distracted or are having trouble staying focused. They are unusually wor-

ried about things that don’t seem to be a big deal to you or others. Their eating habits have changed – they avoid hanging out at lunchtime or make excuses as to why they’re not eating. They’re always tired or complain they aren’t sleeping well. They’re missing more and more time from school or work. They’re drinking more alcohol or using other drugs more. They’re sad much of the time and find it hard to see any positives in their life. They are spending more time alone – they don’t want to hang out with friends or do any of their usual activities. If you’ve noticed changes in a friend that have been going on for a while or seem to be getting worse, it’s time to do something.Speak up. Start by sharing with your friend what you have noticed and why it concerns you. Have this conversation in a comfortable but private place, where the two of you can talk without being interrupted. Let them know that you care about them and you’re worried about them. Build confidence. Identify your friend’s abilities and

The season is over and the scores are in, that is for hunters who gathered at the annual Camrose and District Fish and Game Association’s (CDFGA) Horn Scoring and Antler Meeting held on Jan. 11 from 8 until 11 a.m. at the Moose Hall. Hunters and enthusiasts alike brought in a variety of horns, antlers and skulls to be measured and scored by Alberta Fish and Game Association certified measurers. “Everyone is welcome to bring in their trophies,” said Camrose and District Fish and Game Association president Glen Hand. Measurements are taken by horn size, weight or length depending on species of big game, bird or fish. All measurers have completed the course and are certified through Alberta Fish and Game Association as well as other organizations such as Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young. Among the species being scored were moose, whitetail deer, mule deer, bear and elk. “Camrose and District Fish and Game club members’ trophies are compared against others in the club for bragging rights and awards are eventually handed out,” explained Hand. “The largest from the club are forwarded to Alberta Fish and Game to be compared with others submitted from around the province. Any that meet the minimum requirements are recorded for the official records of the Alberta Fish And Game Association.” Camrose and District Fish and Game Association has approximately 180 members and welcomes people of all ages to join and be part of a club that promotes family events, community initiatives and sponsors outdoor education (including hosting hunting education courses) and camps for children. CDFGA meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month, starting

According to Pruden, amateur photographer and birder, the birds puff up their feathers to trap more air in between, which serves to insulate their bodies better during extreme cold.

Acting on rural crime concerns

CITY PAGE

By Jackie Lovely MLA Camrose Constituency

Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Justice and Solicitor General, announced the government’s initial plan to combat rural crime. The plan includes measures to deter crime, reinforce property rights, give victims a stronger voice in the justice system, and put 400 more first responders– boots on the ground–in more rural areas. The measures announced yesterday have been developed in response to the concerns raised by the over 2,500 rural Albertans in the over 20 town halls Minister Schweitzer conducted all over rural and the over 8,000 submissions he received online.. The plan includes five measures: 1. Defending the rights of law-abiding property owners through proposed amendments to the Occupiers’ Liability Act. These measures that will be introduced will ensure that a criminal trespasser will not be able to sue a law-abiding property owner who is defending their property and family against trespassers who are, or who they believe to be, in the commission of a criminal act. The caveat is that if a homeowner commits a criminal act themselves, then this provision would not apply and the trespasser could potentially pursue a civil action. This legislation has no relation to the doctrine of “castle law”, which would require an amendment to the Criminal Code, a federal piece of legislation. This is provincial legislation that falls within “property and civil rights”, which is within provincial jurisdiction. Furthermore, the legislation that will be introduced will take effect retroactively January 1, 2019. Please note: this date was not chosen due to reasons related to Eddie Maurice. It was chosen to correspond with the provisions of the Limitations Act (generally referred to as the Statute of Limitations). 2. Defending the rights of law-abiding property owners from trespassers. To further strengthen property rights, the government will be introducing legislation to raise the maximum fines for trespassing up to $10,000 for a first offence and $25,000 for subsequent offences as well as possible jail time up to six months. This legislation will also be increasing the maximum amount a court can order for financial loss for property damage due to trespassing to $100,000. Furthermore, in response to occupations by animal rights radicals such as the incident at the Jumbo Valley turkey farm, the proposed legislation will create offences and penalties for people who trespass on agricultural operations and any organization found complicit in these attempts to bully and intimidate could face fines up to $200,000. 3. Deterring metal theft. Many thieves are breaking onto property to steal metal, like copper wire for resale. They are also stealing materials from critical system like electric lines, telecommunications, cables, and transportation infrastructure. The government proclaimed the Scrap Metal Dealers and Recyclers Identification Act to deter metal theft by making it difficult for criminals to monetize stolen materials by selling it for scrap. It requires scrap dealers to report suspected stolen property to authorities and we will develop regulations to ensure they obtain ID from sellers and keep proper records of their transactions for potential police investigations. 4. Giving victims a stronger voice. Whole communities will now be able to submit Community Impact Statements before a court during sentencing to describe the far-reaching effects of crime on a community– including the emotional, physical and economic impact, or mental health effects from the fears they may have for their own security. We will also be creating a new Restitution Recoveries Program to help victims collect outstanding court-ordered payments by using the provincial powers to enforce measures such as garnishing wages or seizing and selling property. 5. Creating the RAPID Force. To put more first responders in more rural areas, the government will be creating the Rapid Alberta Provincial Integrated Police Force–the RAPID Force–by granting additional roles and authorities to the Alberta Sheriffs, the Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Branch, and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Branch. The RAPID Force will put an additional 400 boots on the ground to assist the RCMP and other police services to ensure security is deployed in response to 911 calls more quickly and effectively as possible.

Unikkaaqtuat blends many talents together By Murray Green

Mix seven artistic directors with seven visions and you get 7 Fingers, a collective that is at once unified and multi-faceted. In 2002, seven circus artists came together and became The 7 Fingers. Since then, the collective has grown. Every year, projects have given way to new opportunities as diverse as the very artists themselves: original productions, Broadway shows, artistic collaborations, project direction, custom designed events, performances for Olympic ceremonies, televised creations, immersive performance experiences and much more.

This brings us to Unikkaaqtuat. Inuit founding myths are the inspiration for Unikkaaqtuat, a crosscultural blending of circus arts, theatre, music, and video. The actors, musicians, and acrobats of Unikkaaqtuat perform in a world of shadows and video projections, transporting us to an ancient realm where life did not know death, days had not seen nights and where Inuit had not encountered white people. The show will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday, Jan. 29 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

This performance is a collaboration between The 7 Fingers, Artcirq and Taqqut Productions. A new generation of storytellers and performers from across Nunavut and Nunavik, Unikkaaqtuat highlights the talents of Inuit artists at a national and international scale, fostering a unique environment for cross-cultural collaboration, while honouring the Inuit, their traditions, and their vision for a future beyond this project. This unprecedented creation will highlight the Inuit people, their traditions, and vision for the future, through a collaborative and mutually respectful process

bringing Inuit and non-Inuit artists together. The creative process will explore and seek inspiration from Inuit artistic mediums such as throatsinging and drumming, as well as traditional Inuit aspects such as hunting techniques and structures, competitive games, and aesthetics including traditional dress and landscape. In the show, the cast of three Inuit musicians, four Inuit circus artists and four Montreal-based circus artists will partner on stage, supported by a team of similarly diverse designers and technicians, all driven by this uniting goal.

Augustana’s The Wind in the Willows drama production opens this week! The beautifully written timeless classic story of The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame, direction by Christopher Bullough, is one that many of us have read at some point in our lives. Like the Harry Potter books written by J.K. Rowling, this story too captures the hearts and imaginations of both young and old. It’s one of the most famous and popular English books (though it is actually written by a Scotsman) and has been adapted for the stage more than once and scripted for both television and the movie screen. It has often been the subject of novel studies in school and is available in multiple languages. Now we can see the story theatre version (adapted for the stage by Paul Sills and Arnold Weinstein) right here in Camrose at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. The Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta drama division will present this as their season’s major production on Wednesday, Jan. 22 (12:30 p.m. matinee); Thursday, Jan. 23 (12:30 p.m. matinee); Friday, Jan. 24 (7:30 p.m.); Saturday, Jan. 25 (7:30 p.m.) and Sunday, Jan. 26 (2:30 p.m. matinee). While the story is enjoyed by children, literary experts do not regard it as a children’s story. While it has animals as its characters, it is not an animal story. Like all good literature, it’s so much more than the sum of its parts. The animal characters are completely humanized and they embody the values of fortitude and good humour. As we enter the magical world of Badger, Mole, Rat and Toad, the story takes place in Edwardian England in the idyllic countryside, at a time when horse and wagon were competing with the automobile. The action centres around Ratty, Mole and Badger trying to get a handle on Mr. Toad as he is determined to drive himself to ruin through his obsession with automobiles and lands himself in prison. When he returns to the river and his friends, he finds his home, Toad Hall, has been overtaken by cruel woodlanders and a battle ensues. The protagonists are incredibly honourable creatures and willing to fight for their little piece of England. For more information, contact the Augustana Fine Arts office at 780-679-1532.

Jazz Affair Sunday, February 23 at 1 p.m.

T n i h d e Willo n i W eh ws By Kenneth Grahame

Adapted for the Stage by Paul Sills and Arnold Weinstein

In April 2012, the group was chosen for the Harmony Sweepstakes A Cappella Festival in New York where it won two prizes: the prize for best arrangement, and the prize for best soloist, awarded to Marie-Pier Deschênes. Since then, Jazz Affair has taken the stage at many events and festivals, such as the Festival de Jazz de Quebec (2013), the Francofolies in Montréal (2013 and 2014), the Montréal A Cappella Festival (2013 and 2014), SuttonJazz (2016) and the Festival International des Hautes-Laurentides (2017). Coming out strong with their first album (Jam) which came out in early 2017, the group now aims to find new audiences beyond it’s native Quebec. Jazz Affair launched its second album (Wishes) in early 2019.

Christopher Bullough, Director

Ken Stead Sunday, March 22 at 1 p.m. Whether playing solo or with his five-piece band, Ken Stead makes every room feel like home. A generous demeanor, a delicate wit and an empathetic understanding of audiences of all shapes, his performances are as true and honest as the songs themselves. Ken is known for silencing a room to a whisper, but with his new release, Civil War, he proves capable of starting an uproar. With more volume comes more space to make heartfelt moments rattle through your chest. Guitars, bass and drums punctuate charged lyricism and lived experience. Its full and dynamic roots rock with an emphasis on connecting with an audience, born from Stead’s keen musical interest in both folk and hip hop. Presentation of this concert series is made possible by the support of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Arts Touring Alliance of Alberta.

By Charlene Brown

The Augustana Conservatory of Music is excited to be hosting a Suzuki Every Child Can Workshop on Saturday, Jan. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Suzuki method of music education was developed more that 50 years ago by Japanese violinist Schinichi Suzuki. Suzuki realized that children the world over learn to speak their native language with ease by hearing, imitating and repeating. Every Child Can is the first level of Suzuki educator training. The principles taught in the one-day workshop are applicable to studio music teachers, elementary school educators and parents of students in Suzuki lessons. The course will be taught by Augustana’s own Kathleen Schoen, instructor of flute and recorder. Kathleen has been a certified Suzuki method teacher trainer since 2013 and has travelled the world training teachers. We are excited to be offering our inaugural training course here at Augustana and hope it is the first of many. The ECC workshop takes place in the Faith and

Submitted Members of the 103 Cubic Inches band are, left to right, Mike Bond, bass; Mark Cloarec, guitar; Tommy Fortin, drums; Andy Johnston, vocals; and Jim Zubkowski, guitar. The band name came from the size of motor in Mark’s motorcycle, 103 Cubic Inches. By Murray Green

Camrose band 103 Cubic Inches will be holding a CD release party at the Bailey Theatre on Saturday, Jan. 25. The hard rocking 103 Cubic Inches will be celebrating the release of their debut five song recording with an evening of high energy rock and roll. “We started the band about three years ago. My friend Andy Johnston and I were at a function and I asked him if he wanted to start a band with me. “I needed to cross that one off of the bucket list. I knew he could sing because I’d heard him at karaoke before. We started in my garage playing with just back-up instruments over the stereo. I recruited my cousin Aaron, an experienced guitar player and we added our bass player Mike Bond, which I connected with through kijiji ads, and a drummer, Mathieu Mulroney, that Andy heard was looking for a band,” shared Mark. “After leaving my garage we went into a couple basements of businesses downtown. The current band line-up has been together for about a year.” Band members include Mark Cloarec on guitar, Mike Bond on bass player, Tommy Fortin on drums, Andy Johnston on vocals

and Jim Zubkowski on guitar. “When Aaron and Mathieu left the band, we needed to fill the void. Tommy and Jim have been great additions and are excellent musicians. “We started playing some cover songs and then we decided to come up with our own songs. We put together about 11 songs and picked the five most polished songs on the CD.” The CD features songs “Toss You Aside,” “Willow Tree,” “Downcast,” “Aint Got Time” and “103.” “I started playing some riffs and Andy put some lyrics to them. I only started playing guitar four years ago, so I didn’t have a big background to draw from. Once you learn how to play a cover song, you have some idea of chord structure. I was interested in making my own music. Generally, Jim and I will come up with a riff, Tommy will lay down a drum beat, Mike will add the bass and Andy will put lyrics to it. It truly is a group effort,” explained Mark. Normally, songwriters pen a song and then find the right sound for the song, but 103 Cubic Inches isn’t your typical band. “Everything about us is unorthodox. We are learning as we go. Jim and Tommy and Mike have some band experience, but

Andy and I are new to this. We don’t know any other way than what works for us.” The band has performed about 30 concerts over the past three years, which is not a lot. “None of us are quitting our day jobs. We play music because we love to do that. It’s an awesome hobby. We would like to play more. I liked bands such as AC/DC and Black Sabbath, so that is the music we started with. We like to perform a mix of everything.” The CD was recorded at Ma-Me-O beach recording studio over a weekend. “The studio owner and producer Miles Jackson was awesome to work with and it turned out great. It is exciting to have a CD and we hope people enjoy it. We are just trying to get our music out there. We are still in the early phases and we just want to play and have fun.” Tickets for the CD release party can be purchased at the Bailey Theatre and all are welcome. Special guests will be another local band, Sawbones, who will start things off at 8 p.m. Ironically, 103 Cubic Inches opened for Sawbones when they had a release party. Mark is planning on playing DJ to end the night.

Musical community to hear Augustana upcoming changes By Murray Green

The music department of the University of Alberta Augustana Campus is changing. They are asking dedicated music contributors and supporters of music in the Camrose community to launch the 20th anni-

versary celebrations of U of A Augustana’s Bachelor of Music (BMus) program. People have been invited to attend a public information session about U of A Augustana Campus’s new BMus curriculum. “Over the last 18 months, our music division

team has worked diligently to create a revitalized program that will continue the long tradition of excellence in performance, pedagogy and scholarship on the Augustana campus,” said Ardelle Ries, associate professor-director of music at Augustana.

The meeting is to fully inform stakeholders in the community of the curricular innovations and plans for the future. Information meetings will be held on Monday, Jan. 27 in the Roger Epp Conference Room at Augustana Campus.

There will be two onehour sessions between 4 and 5 p.m. and between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. As Jan. 27 is the day of Mozart’s birth, invited guests can look forward to a musical celebration and a birthday cake.

LET’S DANCE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Churchmice Players’ choreographer for the musical Chicago, Dustin Muise in the centre, works on some dance numbers with cast members for the upcoming show on Feb. 6 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Centre. Back row from left are Duncan McDougall, April McCorquindale, Bailey Lassesen and Kjel Gusdal. Front row from left are Veronica Dennis, Jenna Worton, Dustin, Shinji Cowan, Britta Boden and Keysha Swanson. By Murray Green

Members of the Churchmice Players make acting, singing and dancing look easy, but it takes a lot of dedication and great timing. As choreographer, Dustin Muise is the person that ensures the dance numbers run smoothly for the Churchmice Players’ version of Chicago. “I helped a little with Jesus Christ Superstar, but I have been the choreographer for Mamma Mia! and now Chicago. I love teaching people to do things and I love dance, so it is a great combination to do both,” explained Dustin. “I teach a range of people with those who have never danced before. It is wonderful to have a stage where it asks for a higher elevation of choreography and musicality, so it is a lot of fun.” Dustin has been involved with five productions of shows with Churchmice. “Everyone is so great to work with. It is a great community and family.” He was intrigued with the choice of Chicago. “The style of show is very different. I find that this show asks for a lot more jazz style dancing, versus the Broadway pop style of Mamma Mia! Teaching pop style is easier because you don’t have to be as flexible and you don’t need to be running around all of the time. Most people understand it, whereas with Chicago it is harder because it is from a different time period,” added Dustin. “I’m lucky to have a core group of very talented

dancers, so it has been fun to experiment with more complicated things. I pull the inspirations from Broadway shows and movies, but you want to make it something of your own. I want to make it stand out. I have to figure what is going to work with my cast and that is fun.” The number of dancers in a routine also has challenges. “I want everyone to move together and I have to make them understand they have to be at the same pace. Not everyone is going to get it on their first try. We have a lady that videos the routines, so people can go back and watch it and learn from that as well,” shared Dustin. “It is going to be interesting for the audience because Churchmice hasn’t done a show like Chicago for a very long time. They have done Cabaret, but that was a long time ago. I think it will be a good experience for everybody.” The Broadway blockbuster premiered in 1975 and was the hit of the 1997 Broadway season. Chicago won six Tony Awards including Best Revival and later the Academy Award as Best Picture of the Year. “Chicago is more of a challenge because in Mamma Mia! it was very upbeat. People will enjoy this as a classic, but not classical music,” he added. Dustin lives in Edmonton and returns to his hometown several times a week to give back to the community. “To start with I come just on Sundays, but as it gets closer I make

more trips. I do it because I love it. I like visiting people I knew before and making new friends with Churchmice Players. Some people feel they can sing, act or dance and want to help out. “It is so bizarre how each year we find more talent in Camrose and the area. People are always coming to us to get involved. It is fun to bring all of the various talents together to make it happen. After watching the first dance number in Mamma Mia! I almost started crying because I was so proud. What I created for them, they did it and did it well.” Performance dates in February are on the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. The production team includes producer Theo Thirsk, director Scot Lorenson, choreographer Muise, choral director Carolyn Olsen, band coordinator Art Fadum, set designer Todd Sikorski, costume designer Peggy Noble-Cappie and production advisor Dave McDougall. The show takes place in the roaring ’20s Chicago. Chorus girl Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her husband Amos to take the rap until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another murderess Velma Kelly vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of fame, fortune and acquittal.

Impala was made to last the time test By Murray Green

The Chevrolet Impala is a full-size car built by Chevrolet for model years 1958 to 1985, 1994 to 1996, and 2000 onward. Larry Walton of Bashaw owns a 1966 Chevrolet Impala two-door hardtop. “This car has had one owner. I bought it back in 1966, brand spanking new from Red Deer Motors,” recalled Larry. “I paid $4,250 for it. I had it when I lived in Red Deer and then I moved to the farm in 1976 and it was parked after that. It stayed there for quite a few years.” He pulled it out and worked on it in his spare time for over eight years. “It is the original colour and has the original interior. The car was used as our wedding vehicle 51 years ago,” revealed Larry. “My dad always had Chevy’s, so I’ve carried on the tradition and owned Chevy’s. There were two Impala’s for sale. This one was a green and white one. I went for the colour. They were similar in features. You know they didn’t even have a mirror on the passenger side, it was an option back then,” stated Larry. “It has the original motor and transmission. The only difference is it now has 15 inch rims and disc brakes, instead of the 14 inch and regular brakes. I also have electronic ignition on it. I tried to keep everything else as original as I could. It is quite easy to get parts for it because it is a Chevy. It has a 283 V8

FUN FACTS

The Caprice package was reintroduced as the Chevrolet Caprice Custom in 1966, taking the top position in the full-size Chevrolet lineup. Engine choices included the in-line six-cylinder as well as the small-block and big-block V8s. A new three-range Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission was optional for 396 cubic inch (6.5 L) V8. The old 409 cubic inch (6.7 L) “W” engine was discontinued early in 1965. Two-speed Powerglide, as well as three- and four-speed manual transmissions were available. As with previous years, Impalas featured more chrome trim inside and out, with pleated tufted upholstery and door panels. The Impala would be the number two selling convertible in the US in 1966, with 38,000 sold. A pair of enlarged big-block V8s featuring 427 cubic inch (7.0 L). It was rated at 385 horsepower and the L72 at 425 hp. The L72 was only available with a manual transmission.

one in Calgary, that same window. Parts for Chevy’s are common, so it’s easy to get parts.” The car has 130,000 miles on it. “When I parked it the car had 125,000 on it, so I haven’t driven it a lot since, mostly go to a couple of car shows each year. I probably should drive it more. I pulled the motor, transmission and seats out of it. The transmission was leaking because it wasn’t used enough. That’s why it took me longer to fix. I went through it and my wife and I put it back together. We put it together and never got a divorce. It was our wedding car, so working on it together was special,” said Larry. The Impala is Chevrolet’s popular flagship passenger car and is generally among the better selling made automobiles. “It brings back a lot of memories and is a family heirloom. No one else would buy one of these

now. It was a little bigger car, so not a sports car. I love the paint job, they did a really good job with it,” said Larry. “Some guys go through everything to

fix their vehicles and then don’t get a proper paint job. You need to have a good paint job to make your car look good.”

CRE lobby honours local history with photo walls By Lori Larsen

Camrose and area history unfolds as you walk through the front lobby of the Camrose Regional Exhibition, greeted by cinder block walls that are beautifully covered with photos depicting the history of Camrose and area. On Jan. 15, residents of Camrose County, the City of Camrose, staff of CRE and special guests were present during the unveiling of the lobby walls and dedication to the McNeight family who donated the cost of the work in memory of Ron and Vern McNeight, longtime residents of Camrose area. “This project was seven months in the making,” said CRE executive director Dianne Kohler, “From the idealization of what we wanted this lobby to represent to what you see today.” CRE board director Brent Byers welcomed guests to the unveiling and introduced guest speakers City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer and Camrose County Reeve Cindy Trautman. Mayor Norm Mayer commended the CRE on an excellent idea and display. “I see a few things that look familiar. History is something we all take for granted and goes away as we go away. I’ve enjoyed seeing some of the old things.” Camrose County Reeve Cindy Trautman congratulated the CRE for taking on the project. “It is an important project. I always say ‘How do you know where you are going if you don’t know where you came from.’ History is important and I think our children are not getting as much as they should, so hopefully they take interest in these photos.” As you enter the main lobby of the CRE main pavilion, the wall directly in front of you and directly to your left have been coated in a fashion similar to the method used for vehicle wraps with photos selected by CRE staff with the assistance of the Camrose and District Centennial Museum volunteers and staff, of the places, events and people that comprise a rich history in and around Camrose. Byers thanked the McNeight family for the amazing gift that will serve as a reminder of times gone by. “This whole project was a gift brought forward to honour Ron and Vern McNeight, longtime citizens of the community. We appreciate the efforts and the family for coming forward to offer this to us as a way of remembering Ron and Vern. Without their donation, this would have never have happened.” A plaque commemorating the

McNeight family and the unveiling of the lobby walls was presented to Darrel Primrose and Darren Garbe (sons of sisters of Ron McNeight), present during the ceremony. “This is definitely a conversation starter,” said Byers. “Anyone who comes through here can’t help but take the time to look.” The next time you are attending one of the many events held at the CRE, be sure to leave yourself a little extra time to take a trip down the CRE’s very own memory lane.

Chester Ronning house to be closed By Lori Larsen

The Chester Ronning house located on 49 Street across from College Lane, a long standing piece of property history in Camrose, has unfortunately been deemed structurally unsafe as the result of a routine engineering inspection. The house, which was built in the early 1900s, was most recently home to the Chester Ronning Centre offices and employees, which have now been temporarily moved to the dean’s suite and appropriate space for the Centre’s future activities will be provided on campus as needed. Signage has been post-

ed on the Ronning Centre building requesting people to remain off the property to ensure public safety. The Ronning Centre was acquired by the University of Alberta in 2004 when the Chester Ronning Centre for the Study of Religion and Public Life was established. Further details regarding the scope of the damage to the structure will be announced to the Augustana campus community, the Ronning Centre’s various stakeholders and the general public once it becomes available. For any inquiries contact Ian Wilson at iwilson@ualberta.ca.

who passed away on January 26, 2019 There are no words to tell you, What losing you has meant, But now each day brings memories Of happy years we spent. You’d want us all to smile again, And that’s just what we do, Every time we reminisce With loving thoughts of you. You’re with us when each new day dawns, And when we say, “Good night”, Our guardian angel here on earth, And Heaven’s shining light. Forever missed and loved, Dennis, Karen, Kathy and Bill, David, Betty and Darrell, Audrey and Doug, Robert, Jeff and Krista, Leslie and Dale and families

October 5, 1944 ~ January 12, 2020 Leonard passed away peacefully on Sunday, January 12, 2020 at the age of 75 years. Len was the middle of nine children, born on October 5, 1944 in Macklin, Saskatchewan to Joseph and Anne Gumpinger. He was raised on the family farm and attended school in Denzil, Saskatchewan until he moved to Camrose with his mother and younger siblings in 1961. In 1968, at the age of 24, he married Geraldine Pelz and they had three children. Known for lighting up the night as a Maroon, a Goodtimer or for the Windsor Hotel, Gump loved sports – playing sports, coaching sports and watching sports. He garnered respect both on and off the ice or field. Whether it was changing tires, pumping gas, delivering papers, shoveling neighbours’ walks, spending time with his grandchildren, or simply walking in the rink, Len was always happy to see his friends and would light up with his winning smile. When he needed to step away from it all, he loved his time at the farm with his bovine pets. His charisma, deep faith, incredible work ethic, and humility were admirable and will be deeply missed. Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 51 years, Geraldine; children Geoffrey (Leila) Gumpinger of Edmonton, Dena (Doug) Mackwood of Calgary and Jason (Becky) Gumpinger of Sherwood Park; grandsons Trey, Nicholas, Quinton, Ethan, Benjamin, Logan and Isaac; brother Gerard (Patricia); sisters Kathleen Leibel, Audrey (Ray) Heck, Lucille (Louis) Chrystian and Elaine Scheelar; sister-in-law Leona; brother-in-law Larry; as well as numerous in-laws, nephews, nieces and friends.

Noreen Ann Pederson June 28, 1942 ~ January 8, 2020 It is with great sadness, but also with peaceful hearts, that the family of Noreen Pederson (Hauser) announces her passing on the morning of January 8, 2020 at the age of 77 years. Noreen leaves behind to cherish her memory her loving husband and her prince, Pat Thompson; daughters Susan Bertolin (Emanuel) and Annette Koski (Mick); stepdaughters Cheryl (Jamie) and Heather (Anthony) Thompson; as well as grandchildren Chiara, Matteo, Joe (Johanna), Jack, Adelle and Huxley. Noreen was blessed to have the support of two sisters, Jean Hamilton (Lorne) and Ferne Pederson (Larry), as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Nord and Ellen; sister Estelene; and granddaughter Michelle. Noreen was a teacher in every sense of the word, both at home and at work. She was lucky enough to enjoy a career that was also her passion. Over a teaching career of thirty-three years (the last 26 with the St. Albert Catholic School Board), she had the opportunity to touch many young lives. She was truly a professional and cared deeply about her students. Years after her retirement, she would still be approached by former students who would share their special memories of their time as her students. At home, there was always a lesson to be shared as well. Whether it was a recipe, a gardening tip, a social grace, an observation or simply the “right” way to fold towels – she never missed the opportunity to help us be the best we could be. Her grandchildren meant the world to her. She had a unique, special relationship with each of them and made them feel they were capable of anything and everything, because Grandma believed in them. We know that they will tell “Grandma stories” to their children and grandchildren. Her guidance will resonate for generations. There are times in our lives when we can impact change by working harder, longer or smarter and then there are times when we are faced with circumstances beyond our control. Noreen accepted her diagnosis of brain cancer with grace and dignity, with little fear for herself, but rather what it would do to her family. She never failed to thank her caregivers for their help. When her words left her, she would show her appreciation with a smile and often a wink of her bright blue eyes. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude for the support that came in so many forms – messages, flowers, food, visits, errands, home care – all of it meant so very much. A very special thank you to the remarkable team at Foyer Lacombe. Their compassion and expertise are unparalleled. We are profoundly grateful for their care. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to St. Albert Sturgeon Hospice Association (SASHA). Donations can be made to SASHA, PO Box 65105, Mission Hill Plaza, St. Albert, AB T8N 5Y3 or online at sasha-cares.com. Noreen’s Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at Connelly-McKinley, St. Albert Funeral Home, 9 Muir Drive, St. Albert, AB.

Dennis Brian Foss August 3, 1954 ~ January 12, 2020 Dennis Brian Foss of Killam, AB passed away on Sunday, January 12, 2020 at the age of 65 years. Dennis Brian Foss was born in Camrose, Alberta on August 3, 1954 and passed away in his hometown of Killam, Alberta on Sunday, January 12, 2020. Dennis married the love of his life, Cindy Wagner, in Round Hill, Alberta on July 27, 1974, where they settled and began raising three children Christopher, Cameron and Candiss. In 1987, the family moved to Killam and then on to Edson in 2004. During Cindy’s 15-year battle with cancer, Dennis fought by her side until the spring of 2009, when she lost her very courageous fight. Dennis’s drive to better himself and provide for his family pushed him to progress through the oil and gas industry from his early days as a welder in Fort McMurray to owning his own consulting business. Recently, Dennis was extremely proud and excited to be working with his brother Harvey and nephews Darin Staal and Trevor Sutherland. Dennis combined his two biggest passions, being a grandfather and an avid fisherman, by often taking Caleb and Harlan to the Forestburg damn and making the trip to BC to join Carter and Liam on the water. He also fought a never-ending addiction to renovating houses. Every year, Dennis looked forward to the Huntington’s Golf Tournament when he was able to spend time with all of the family and took great pleasure in the bidding wars during the auction. Left to cherish his memory are his sons Chris (Amy) and Cameron (Kelly); daughter Candiss (Mike); stepfather-in-law Chuck Davis; grandmother-in-law Mary Wagner; sisters Georgina (Joe) Orcheski and Eileen Staal; brothers Arnold (Ria), Ken and Harvey (Doreen); grandchildren Alex McRae, Faith Kampen, Carter and Liam Foss and Caleb and Harlan Gerrish; and greatgranddaughter Emma Westrop. He was predeceased by his wife Cindy Foss; parents George and Grace Foss; father and mother-in-law Johnnie Wagner and Donna Davis; sisters Joyce Sutherland and Kathy Campbell; brother Marvin Foss; sister-in-law Barb Foss; and brothers-in-law Mike Staal and Doug Sutherland. Dennis will be remembered as a fierce friend, devoted husband, loving father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was an extremely generous and selfless man. A Prayer Service was held on Monday, January 20, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. in the Burgar Memorial Chapel, 4817-51 Avenue, Camrose. A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 from the Messiah Lutheran Church, 4810-50 Street, Camrose.

Martin John Szott February 21, 1929 ~ January 15, 2020 Martin John Szott was born on February 21, 1929 to August and Annie Szott (nee Staszkow) on the farm at Daysland, Alberta. Martin was the ninth oldest child of seventeen children. Martin attended Quarrell School until grade seven. At the ripe age of thirteen years old, his mother told him and three of his older siblings it was time to leave home and go make a life for themselves. So they packed their belongings and walked to Tofield. There they secured employment with a company installing a pipeline. He moved on to Lethbridge working with the same company. In 1951, he came home to visit his mom and, while in Daysland, he met the love of his life, Geraldine Kasha. They were married on June 19, 1953. This June would have made sixty-six years of marriage for them. To this union, five children were born: Marshall, Darrell, Roxanne, Kelly and Judy. In his early twenty’s, Martin purchased his first gravel truck for hauling grain, coal and earth materials. Then Martin and his brother August purchased a CAT with a bucket and expanded upon their business. In 1964, they sold their house in Daysland and moved out to the farm southwest of Daysland. Martin, his wife and children ran a mixed farm while Martin continued trucking. Martin had purchased nine trucks over the duration of his trucking career. He sold his last gravel truck to his brother Rudy and started employment with the County of Flagstaff as a general foreman in charge of the oiling crew. Martin worked very hard, but always took Sundays off with the family to attend Church, go camping or to the lake for the day. Martin loved to socialize with all his family and friends whether it was playing cards, horseshoe, lawn darts or a good game of dice. Martin and Gerry had a passion for travelling to many countries around the world, such as Europe, Hawaii, South America, Middle East, cruises to Alaska and throughout the Caribbean and many bus tours across North America. In 1994, Martin retired from the County of Flagstaff, sold the farm and moved to Camrose, where they purchased a new home. Martin really enjoyed retirement. He continued to volunteer with the Knights of Columbus, Big Valley and Centra Cam, where he received an award for selling numerous raffle tickets. Martin continued to enjoy singing country songs, gardening, maintaining his yard, walking, biking, camping, travelling, curling and helping his son Marshall with his landscaping business, as well as babysitting his grandchildren. In the last couple years, his physical condition started to decline. In his final months, Martin struggled with dementia and spent the last six months in St. Mary’s Hospital. He is lovingly remembered and survived by his wife Geraldine; children Marshall (Sharon) Szott, Darrell (Judy) Szott, Roxanne (Jean) Goudreau and Judy (Paul) Gleason; nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; brother August (Barbara) Szott; sisters Francis Tandberg, Annette Fitzpatrick, Alice Bliid and Olga (Ron) MacMillan; and numerous nieces, nephews, many friends and acquaintances. He was predeceased by his infant daughter Kelly; his parents August and Annie Szott; seven brothers Mike, Frank, Joe, Edward, Rudolph, Peter and infant brother Joseph; and sisters Helen Beattie, Victoria Peart, Josie Scherrens and Angie Roberge. A Prayer Vigil will be held on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 7:00 p.m., at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Thursday, January 23, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church.

Joseph Francis Voytechek October 5, 1923 ~ January 12, 2020 Dad was born in Mountain Park on October 5, 1923. It was here where he developed his passions for hunting, fishing, baseball, hockey and track and field. Dad made Camrose his home for over 70 years, where he and Mom built a successful plumbing and heating business. Dad was passionate about the city of Camrose and spent several years serving on the City Council. He believed in the importance of giving back to the community and volunteered his time with swimming, Knights of Columbus, coaching various sports teams which included baseball, hockey and the gun club. Many of these teams and individuals received significant honors. Dad never sought recognition and was often quite humbled when he was acknowledged for his many contributions. He simply stated, “I wanted to help the youth.” Dad treasured the many letters and visits of the young men and woman who would often remember him throughout the years. If you were to ask him, that meant more to him than any medal or trophy. His leadership, mentoring, values, beliefs and faith came naturally to his character. To many, he was “Coach Joe” or “Mr. V”; to us, we were fortunate to call him “Dad”, “Gramps” or “Great Gramps”. There will be no more “One more time”, however, there is eternity with his “Bride”. Left to cherish Joe’s memory are his children Charlotte (Al) Dewar of Courtenay, Marlaine (Roy) Hagel of Thunder Bay, Mike (Dana) of Okotoks, Weston (Eleanor) of Camrose, Jim (Mary) of Sherwood Park and Pat (Tom) Polmear of Calgary; numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Joe was predeceased by his wife Phyllis; his parents Michael and Anna Voytechek; siblings Louis, Anne, Mary, Sister Mary Joanna and Cecelia; and grandson Matthew Hagel. A Prayer Vigil will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, January 23, 2020 from the Burgar Memorial Chapel. A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, January 24, 2020 from the St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, 3605-50 Street, Camrose, with Rev. Carlos Nunez officiating.

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.

Canadians now have access to call blocking features By Murray Green

Canadians now have more protection against nuisance calls through a call blocking system. This system better protects against unsolicited and illegitimate calls. The CRTC required telecommunications service providers to implement this system within their networks in January. With the implementation of this system, calls with caller identification (caller ID) information that either exceed 15 digits or do not conform to a number that can be dialed (for example, 000000-0000) will be blocked before reaching the subscriber. Providers that offer their subscribers call filtering services, which provide more advanced call management features, will not have to implement call blocking. “Canadians need to have the right tools to manage nuisance calls. With the implementation of a call blocking system, calls that are malformed will be stopped within the network. At the same time, we are working with the industry on other tools to better protect Canadians from nuisance calls, including a process to alert them when the caller ID has been spoofed,” said Ian Scott, chairperson and CEO of the CRTC. Filtering services, such as call blocking, provide consumers with services that could take certain actions to manage suspect nuisance calls on their behalf. Call blocking is part of an array of measures tackling nuisance calls. The CRTC is working with telecommunications service providers to authenticate and verify the caller ID information and to trace nuisance calls back to their points of origin. They asked telecommunications service providers to implement, by September 2020, the stir/ sharen framework which is a caller ID authentication and verification measure. Canadians should never provide personal information (such as banking information or Social Insurance Numbers) over the phone with-

Take time to cope with your grief Submitted

One way that you can cope with your sadness and yearning is to talk about how you feel. Sharing your sadness with people who care about you helps lift the heaviness that sadness often brings. Other steps you can take to cope with your feelings of sadness and yearning include looking at photos, watching videos or exchanging stories with other people about your loss. Take part in activities that acknowledge and mark the loss, such as funeral or memorial services after a death. This time of year, some funeral homes and religious institutions offer services to help people grieve, too. Surround yourself with people who make you feel safe and support you during your time of grief.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Bungalow offers lots of room

By Lori Larsen

This very well maintained bungalow is ready for you to move in with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is room for everyone in the family including an in-law or older child suite in the basement. The home is located in the Westmount subdivision where there are plenty of parks and playgrounds nearby and the west end shopping district is within walking distance. The large living room, with a beautiful front window, is the perfect setting for family gath-

erings or sitting and enjoying the sunshine. The dining area and kitchen flow together, so conversation can continue while meals are prepared. Gorgeous laminate flooring maintains a consistent look throughout. The kitchen has beautiful shaker style cabinets and a window in the dining and kitchen area saturates the space with natural light. Completing the main level are three bedrooms and a fourpiece bathroom. The third bedroom could easily work as a home office.

The completely finished lower level has a large family room featuring a fireplace and dry bar. Imagine curling up in the colder months in front of the fireplace or entertaining a group of friends. Another bedroom and three-piece bathroom offer privacy on this level. The fully equipped kitchenette would make this space ideal for older children to live at home while getting their feet on the ground or a great in-law suite for sharing expenses.

The backyard is completely fenced and has a double detached heated garage with back lane access–an all important feature when the freezing temperatures hit. This impressive bungalow, located at 4414-67 Street, is priced right for the budget at $295,000 and has everything you need.
