Both Roxie Hart (played by Brittany Johnson), left, and Velma Kelly (played by Jane Gusdal) wanted to fight each other, but smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn (played by Ken Mastel) intervenes. Then they want to strangle him for his cheating ways in the Churchmice Players’ version of Chicago! Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and murderess Velma also vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of fame, fortune and acquittal.

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. For more information, see page 18.

Sitler was freezing for a good reason, promotes athletes By Lori Larsen

Camrose Special Olympic athlete Justin Sitler didn’t back down when it came to a “chilling challenge”. Instead, he happily volunteered to participate in the Jan. 26 Polar Plunge in Edmonton at Lake Summerside. Justin was “freezin’ for a reason” to help raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics and the amazing good the organization does to encourage the wellbeing of Special Olympics athletes and connectivity within the community. “The first one (Justin participated in the 2017 Polar Plunge), my mom asked me if I wanted to do it,” said Justin of why he chose to participate. “It is mostly to raise money for Special Olympics, so that way a bunch of athletes like us can play sports.” Justin admits he was a little hesitant at first to jump into freezing water; but knowing that participating in the initiative would help other Special Olympics athletes meet their dreams of playing organized

sports, made the decision much easier. “It’s cold,” he said, describing the experience. “We are not in the water very long, then they help us climb out.” Justin indicated the actual ceremony began at 11:45 a.m., then the first wave of participants hit the frigid waters beginning at noon, when the recorded outside temperature in Edmonton was a “balmy” plus one. “I was one of the first two in the water with the help of the Edmonton Police Chief (Dale McFee).” “I wore sandals because I didn’t want to get my shoes wrecked and the sandals I wore could be worn in water,” said Justin. “Since I was wearing sandals and barefooted, the water on the ice was the worse for me. It exposed my feet to more of the icy water than the rest of me, timewise. My feet took the longest to get warmed up in the hot tub.” Justin explained that this time, the ice was so thick on the lake that it forced the water back through the hole.

“They actually dug the hole closer to shore than they usually would, so it wouldn’t be so much water for us to walk on to get to the hole.” He claimed the downside was the bystanders couldn’t stand out on the ice. Justin said this time he noticed he was a bit clumsier than his first plunge, humourously wondering if maybe he had a little unsolicited assistance from the police chief. “I even had trouble standing up in the water.” After the participants are plunged into the cold water, they are immediately assisted back out and led down a groomed trail to the warmth of the awaiting hot tub. In Justin’s first go at the dip back in 2017, he received an award from LETR (Law Enforcement Torch Run– Special Olympics) for raising the highest number in pledges totalling approximately $4,000. “My goal was $2,000.” This time around, his goal is also $2,000 and thus far he has raised

CHILLY DIP

Submitted Justin Sitler, Camrose Special Olympics athlete, gets a helping hand and thumbs up from Edmonton Police Chief Dale McFee as he quickly heads to the hot tub to warm up after his Polar Plunge.

$1,750 with pledges still accepted until March. Staying active is very important to Justin and why he is so grateful to so many in the community that support Special Olympics through fundraisers or volunteering. He has been involved in Special Olympics for approximately seven to eight years and appreciates all that the community offers His favourite sport is softball, which he is very good at, but he is also an extraordinary five-pin bowler, averaging a score of around 145, but has had games topping 200. “Special Olympics allows us with special needs to actually participate in sports and remain active and not stay inside all the time. That is for sure.” Outside of his participation in sports, Justin keeps himself very busy with his job at Camrose Safeway since 2014, and also shovelling for a few clients in town. “It helps pay the rent and buy groceries,” laughed Justin. “I also take part in

the Walk and Run on Monday nights (when he is not working) and often other nights as well.” A group of Special Olympics athletes and others meet on Monday nights indoors from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the indoor walking track at the Recreation Centre and outdoors 4:15 to 5 p.m. at Stoney Creek Centre. It is apparent that this six-foot something young man has a lot of energy to burn and he does so by staying involved in sports and in his community. When asked if he is considering doing the Polar Plunge again, Justin methodically replied, “I might not next year, I like to give it some time between.” Rightfully so. If you are interested in learning more about the Special Olympics Polar Plunge or making a pledge for Justin, visit the website at www.specialolympics.ca/albertapolarplunge.

ZONE 4 SKIERS

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Ski Club cross-country skiing members going to the Alberta Winter Games on Feb. 14 to 17 are, back row standing, left to right, Callum Ferguson, Alexandra Thain, Ava Heie, Nevaeh Tailleur, Reagan Ross and Morgan Elaschuk. Front row from left to right are Hayden Nelson, Ole Heie and Hugo Bonzi. The Games are held in Airdrie and Canmore.

The Camrose Ski Club will be hosting an Alberta Cup cross-country ski event on Feb. 22 and 23 at the Stoney Creek Centre. “We are very excited to be hosting Alberta Cup races for the first time in five years. It will be two days of incredible cross-country ski races. We are so excited to showcase our incredible city and trail system to skiers from all over western Canada. It is going to be a busy, fun few days of action,” said Chella Ross, volunteer coordinator of the local club. “The athletes have had a pretty busy season so far and February and March will get really busy for them again,” said Leigh Heie, a coach with the club. The club will also be sending several athletes to the Alberta Winter Games on Feb. 14 to 17 in Airdrie. The skiers will actually be at the Canmore Nordic Centre on the same ski trails on which the Olympics were held. Alberta Winter Games athletes include U12 girls Alexandra Thain; U12 boys Ole Heie and Callum Ferguson; U14 girls Reagan Ross, Ava Heie, Morgan Elaschuk and Nevaeh Tailleur; U14 boys Hugo Bonzi and Hayden Nelson. The athletes will participate in three different events: individual sprint free technique, individual classic and in team relays. Camrose and area belongs to Zone 4 (Central Alberta) and cross-country skiing athletes had to qualify for the games in Red Deer in December. “Natalie Thain has just returned from competing at Western Canadians in Whistler, where she had an amazing experience and even had a podium finish in her Skate Sprint event. I believe she also plans on going to nationals in Vernon this March, along with possibly a few Augustana athletes. She is a real inspiration to the younger athletes in our club,” added Heie. Local skiers also enter the Canadian Birkebeiner Ski Festival on Feb. 8 in 2 km, 4 km, 8 km, 13 km, 31 km and 55 km events. Alberta Youth Championships will be in Bragg Creek on March 6 to 8. “We will hopefully have a large number of U12 and U14 athletes going to this provincial level event,” shared Heie. Alberta Cups 7 and 8 are hosted by Edmonton Nordic Club on March 14 and 15. Canadian Nationals will be in Vernon, BC at the end of March.

Cancer support group meets at library By Murray Green

Margo McPhail is a cancer survivor that wants to help others in a time of need. She is launching the Camrose Cancer Support Group with a meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 20 in the Irving Room of the Camrose Public Library. “Together we can help support each other through sharing our stories, questions, knowledge and experiences,” explained Margo. The first meeting is intended to gather cancer survivors, cancer patients and caregivers to support each other in tough times. “I was diagnosed in September with uterine cancer. At that time it was a very quick procedure. I saw my regular doctor and she sent me to a specialist. It was fast like bang-bang and I didn’t have time to think,” shared Margo. “My specialist said my body will keep up to this, but my soul won’t. It’s lovely that we live in Canada and things happen quick. I didn’t have to wait long, probably a month. With everything happening so

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Margo McPhail wants to share her experiences and support others by starting a cancer group at the library.

quick, it is hard to keep up with it all. Your brain is still trying to process that you even have cancer,” she said. “I was lucky that my cancer was caught in time and I need four chemo (chemotherapy) treatments and I have had three now.” Chemotherapy drugs treat cancer by stop-

ping cancerous cells from dividing. A healthy body constantly replaces cells through a process of dividing and growing. When cancer occurs, cells reproduce in an uncontrolled manner. “I have been very blessed because of the support I’ve received from friends, colleagues and family. You don’t realize

how much support you have until you need it. This impacts your life, but it can be in positive ways. I was told a positive attitude at any time is always good. It is what you make of it. It can destroy you or make you better. I want to start this group to give something back and help others,” said Margo. “I’ve had the support, but some people don’t. I want to share my experiences and help others to know what to expect. I’m not sorry this happened to me. It is my chance to help others and for that I’m thankful.” The support group will offer assistance for others with cancer and for caregivers so they know what to expect as well. “This support group is for all people that have been touched by cancer in any way. I’m getting information, some pamphlets and thinking about guest speakers, so everyone will have the information that they are seeking,” said Margo. “I want to be able to answer questions and share what worked for me. Whatever the people’s

needs who attend, that’s what we will focus on. If I don’t have the answer, I will get it for them. I think cancer is almost harder on the caregiver, like my husband, because they want to make you feel better, take away the pain. They want to help, but don’t know how to do that. I’m internally focused on what I have to do, he has to deal with the outside.” Caregivers need a different kind of support. “It can be overwhelming, but I’m trying to make is less overwhelming. I’m told one in two people are affected by cancer in some way and that is a staggering number.” Margo is willing to hold the meetings twice a month, unless people feel they need more. That will be determined at the first meeting. She is also involved in the Hospice Society of Camrose and Camrose Victims Services to help others. For more information contact Margo at 780-6087990 or Joan at 780-6729579.

Claim your Canada child benefit By Murray Green

The Canada child benefit (CCB) is a tax-free monthly payment made to eligible families to help them with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age. The CCB might include the child disability benefit and any related provincial and territorial programs. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) uses information from your income tax and benefit return to calculate how much your CCB payments will be. To get the CCB, you have to file your return every year, even if you did not have income in the year. If you have a spouse or commonlaw partner, they also have to file a return every year. Benefits are paid over a 12-month period from July of one year to June of the next year. Your benefit payments will be recalculated every July based on information from you and your spouse’s (if applicable) income tax and benefit returns from the previous year. If you were eligible for the months and years before July 1, 2016, the

CRA will pay you a lumpsum payment for the Canada child tax benefit or a lump-sum payment for the universal child care benefit. If you are entitled to the universal child care benefit, the CRA will issue an RC62, universal child care benefit statement by the end of February, on behalf of Employment and Social Development Canada. Go to benefit payment dates to find out when the next payments will be made. If you want to know how much your next CCB payment will be and when you’ll get it, go to My Account or go to mobile apps and select “MyBenefits CRA.” You can also view forms and publications such as Child and Family Benefits and Canada Child Benefits pamphlet.

Looking with eyes of love

Next week is one of my favourite issues of the Camrose Booster–the one with little one-inch Valentine messages sprinkled throughout. I look forward to reading every one of them. I’m scanning to see if there are valentines to and from people I know. It’s also fun to read the mini-valentines between lovers with private nicknames, doting grandparents and grandchildren, appreciative teachers and students, affectionate colleagues and co-workers. It’s a feel-good paper. ***

Thinking ahead to what mini-valentines I might want to send reminds me of an interview I once saw with the late novelist and Nobel prizewinner Toni Morrison. One of her best-known books is entitled (appropriately for this month) Beloved. Here is a point Toni Morrison made during the interview. She was talking about how we express love to children. She said that when her children were young, she really wanted to be a good mother who made sure her children were cared for. As part of that care, whenever she looked at her children, the first thing she did was check to make sure that their faces were clean, their clothes were presentable, their socks matched and so on. One day she realized two things. First, in effect, whenever she looked at her children, in her very first glance she was looking for flaws. That realization made her uncomfortable. The second realization shocked her. She realized that when her children looked back at her, she was always frowning. The expression on her face looked like she thought something was wrong with them. Because of her most frequent first facial expression, her children believed that she disapproved of them. That was not what she wanted her children to believe. On the day she had that realization, she made a resolution. From that point forward, whenever she saw her children, she made sure that, before she did anything else, she would first look at them with eyes of love. ***

On the day I saw that interview, I made a similar resolution–that whenever I laid eyes on my children–and others I cared about–I would do my best to look at them with eyes of love before I did anything else. Later, I expanded that to seeing if I could look at everyone, maybe not with eyes of love, but at least with eyes of good will. Sometimes I could do that and sometimes not. That was then and this is now. It’s been a few years since I made that resolution. I paid attention for a while, and then drifted away from the habit. Writing this column has reminded me that all these years later I forget that resolution more often than I remember it. I blush to admit that some days if I’m particularly cranky I’m not even sure I want to remember that resolution. I’d rather wallow in being cranky and self-righteous, looking out at the world expecting flaws. But here’s the thing I’ve learned. I remember my resolution often enough to have discovered something interesting. When I consciously choose to look at each person I see with eyes of love–or at least eyes of good will–something changes in me. It’s like my heart softens. I tap into a wellspring of affection, even optimism. And, I suspect, that change in me sometimes changes whatever happens next. ***

On this first week of the month of Love, you might want to try this experiment. Try looking at people with eyes of love–or at least eyes of good will–before you do or say anything else. See what happens inside you. See what happens in the world around you. Can’t do harm. Just saying… ***

I’d love to hear from you–especially if you try this experiment! Send an email to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com. I’ll happily reply within one business day.

While I have never lived in central Alberta, I cannot help but feel a sense of sadness at the closure of the Lacombe Globe, a truly great community newspaper. While technology and computers are excellent, there is truly nothing better than getting your hands on one unthumbed newspaper and they help keep communities together, so it is a shame when they die off. Let’s hope The Camrose Booster stays strong forever. Rory J. Koopmans, Edmonton Monumental challenge

“You can’t wring money from a stone.” That was the response Premier Kenney provided when asked by the Rural Municipalities Association for help with a massive shortfall facing their members. According to the RMA, oil and gas companies owe about $173 million in property taxes to rural municipalities. This comes after the province sliced property tax assessments for shallow gas producers by 35 per cent last year. That will continue this year. This comes after the Alberta government trumpeted the addition of 300 RCMP officers in a “partnership” between the province, federal government and rural municipalities. The problem is that the province isn’t providing any money. Instead they are downloading the cost to municipalities. It is unclear how many new officers will go to each detachment. More money doesn’t necessarily mean more boots on the ground. Larger centres won’t feel the pinch of additional policing costs, but they will be heavily impacted by a 48 per cent increase in the amount of fine revenue the province takes (it was 27 per cent, now 40 per cent). It’s estimated that this will cost the City of Camrose $250,000. Plus the amount of money the province provides municipalities to assist with infrastructure has been reduced as the

MSI program is phased out to be replaced by a long term funding framework. This change is being made despite the commitments many municipalities have already made to multi-year capital projects. Alberta’s two largest cities, Edmonton and Calgary signed City Charters with the previous government. Those charters have both been cancelled despite the promise by the UCP to keep them in place. This is not how a province works. Investors don’t see a jurisdiction ripping up agreements as a stable investing environment. Further, the financial challenges municipalities are facing may force some to throw in the towel and dissolve. The UCP government vowed to work together with municipalities if they formed government. Unfortunately, Municipal Affairs Minister Kaycee Madu has traded barbs in the media on a regular basis with the Mayors of Edmonton and Calgary. There is a better way to make this relationship work. The Alberta Party would build bridges and strengthen relationships to help all Albertans get through the tough times ahead. Alberta needs a fresh approach. Kevin Smook, Tofield Alberta Party Critic for Municipal Affairs School closures

In the Jan. 28 edition of the Camrose Booster there ran a story of the threat of closures of a number of small rural schools. For me it’s déjà vu all over again. I was part of a parent group that fought against, and successfully challenged the closure of our small rural school not once, but twice. What were the lessons learned? Politicians, school trustees, parents and teachers alike; nobody likes the idea of school closures. So why is this always seen as the only alternative. My heart goes out to the trustees as they are in a no-win situation. They serve two masters, the parents who elect them and the minister of education. In that

service they are given a limited toolbox in terms of funding. There are the per capita grants that determine not just the education resource, but also infrastructure and maintenance, and transportation. That tool can be supplemented by their power to raise taxes, but it is a very blunt tool and so untenable politically that it is not used. They are not allowed to run in deficit. Their only possible resort is to use the hammer of school closures to balance the books. But they do so mostly ignorant of the consequences of their actions on the communities affected. In 2014, in our closure fight, we wanted to know what was in store for our community if the school closed. Our own research showed in various studies that showed many undesirable social and economic impacts. We also questioned the per-capita funding model and the assumptions that guide the utilization formula. Even the OECD in their work say that losing a rural school impacts the viability of the entire community. In 2004, in the report called Rural Alberta: Land of Opportunity, it was suggested that government move away from the per-capita funding model. They recommended, “to provide needs-based funding rather than per-capita funding, to ensure quality education within reason and ensure that changes in rural funding formulas are accompanied by a no loss provision and have a growth index equal to real cost increases.” We commissioned a research prospectus from the Department of Sustainable Rural Communities at Augustana, looking for a retrospective look at the impacts of past school closures. Then Minister Jeff Johnson, to his credit, did commission a study on the impact of rural schools but it failed to look back. Still too many questions. Tim Belec, Camrose

Camrose County council approved a motion to enter into Phase 1 of a new Camrose County Seed Cleaning Plant Construction, with (Phase 1) funding to come from 2020 operating surplus or reserves. Councillor Jack Lyle put the motion on the floor on Jan. 28 and council agreed to start preparing for a new seed cleaning plant in the future. The current site of the plant at 4728-41 Street has become cramped for space. Camrose County has operated a seed cleaning plant since 1947. Several upgrades have been completed since the first plant. The current plant can handle trucks of all sizes, but the drivers have trouble manoeuvering around in the tight confines. The plant currently has 14 foot doors and a 90 foot scale. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on regular days, but expands to 24-hour shifts during peak season. The plant is capable of seed cleaning of pedigree and commercial seed separations, and conditioning seed treating services Plant manager Murray VanPetten approached administration with a proposal to construct a new seed cleaning plant within a five year window. “The current location has been and will continue to be the management’s biggest hindrance in growth. Current usable lot size is about 2.5 acres. The lack of space causes many issues due to the size of trucks

and trailers most producers today have,” explained County administrator Paul King. “The yard is shared with the agricultural service board and Battle River School Division bus barns and maintenance division, which are both also growing. The current site is creating issues with access and mobility of transport vehicle required to conduct efficient seed plant business,” said administrator King. “In order to grow the business and increase revenue the facility needs to increase seed treatment capacity and be able to provide facilities for the sales of pedigreed seed. The largest requirement of this proposal is the need to increase property size, while increasing the capacity, in bushels per hour, to clean seed,” added King. Ideally, the facility would relocate outside City limits to avoid current issues with noise, dust and seed treatment issues within the City. Management would look for a central area east of Camrose, which allow the business to maintain its current customer base and potentially grow that base as Strome and Holden seed plants are both aging facilities. “Phase 1 will be site selection and preliminary design at a cost of $15,000 to $35,000. Phase 2 will be a detailed design, site acquisition and tender/contract construction at a proposed cost of $100,000 to $500,000. Phase 3 will be construction of a $4,500,000 to $5,500,000 facility that

will be completed in year four or five,” proposed King. Plant manager VanPetten has toured both the Lougheed and Bashaw plants, that have recently been completed, and has seen the pros and cons in each of them. Both plants have purchased or are in the process of purchasing additional lands already, trying to get set up for on-site sales of pedigreed seed. Both managers agreed that a 10 to 15 acre parcel is closer to the ideal size. Bashaw has a 190 foot scale, can handle 650 bushels per hour and a second line of equipment wired to add if needed. Although the overall cost is estimated at between $5 to $6 million, the County will likely secure a loan for about half the amount. “Both Lougheed and Bashaw plants are vertical in design. I prefer that, but would like to tour a horizontal design just to be sure. I’m told horizontal are cheaper to build, but harder to maintain. They have pros and cons, so I want to compare that,” said VanPetten. “The current seed cleaning plant has been paying for itself and I want it to be clear to ratepayers that the users will be paying for the facility,” said councillor Don Gregorwich. The current facility is rated for 400 bushel, per hour and the new site would be about 650 bu/hour. Over a 40 week year about 800,000 bushels are cleaned now. The new site is projected to reach 1,300,000 bushels a year.

Singer Bamford to receive 4-H award By Murray Green

Canadian country music artist Gord Bamford of the Bashaw area will receive 4-H Canada’s Distinguished Alumni Award at the annual 4-H Canada Leadership Awards in Ottawa on Feb. 10. Bamford stands as one of the most decorated artists in Canadian country music with 26 Canadian Country Music Association awards, several Juno nominations, and two CMA Global Country Artist awards. But it’s his work off stage that demonstrates the 4-H values he embodies. Bamford has used his success to create opportunities to effect positive change in youth through the work of the Gord Bamford Foundation, which has generated over $4 million for charities. Each year, the Foundation supports 10 to 15 charities, that focus on Canadian communities and children. He credits his participation in his local 4-H club for his strong sense of commitment and speaks highly of the personal growth the program offered him. “As a youngster in the 4-H program, I could not have known the impact the program would have later on in life. It taught me responsibility, leadership, preservation of country life and service to community,” said Bamford. “The 4-H motto, Learn To Do By Doing, has become my own, helping me find a path to success and an even deeper sense of worldly purpose.” The award recognizes the outstanding leadership and contributions of 4-H alumni to their communities and the greater world around them. It is awarded at the 4-H Canada Leadership Awards, the organization’s signature annual event bringing the 4-H movement together under one roof to showcase the achievements of the leaders who champion 4-H values and make 4-H possible, as well as raise funds to ensure the future of 4-H in Canada. “The Distinguished Alumni award is a really important one, that demonstrates to the young people taking part in our programs across the country, how what they’re learning today could impact their lives tomorrow,” said 4-H Canada CEO, Shannon Benner. “Bamford’s investment in and dedication to the 4-H community is a wonderful example of how the 350,000 4-H alumni across Canada have a unique opportunity to re-engage and support youth leaders.”

CHIEF Dean LaGrange Chief of Police Camrose Police Service By Chief Dean LaGrange

This week’s question: “Why do the police call off high speed chases instead of doing everything possible to catch the offender?” The police have a responsibility to ensure public safety regardless of what event they are involved in. In order for the police to continue a pursuit, the seriousness of the offence must outweigh the danger created by the pursuit. An innocent person losing their life due to a stolen vehicle running a red light, is a prime example of why police would not continue a pursuit simply because the vehicle is stolen. That said, law enforce-

Since the beginning of the year, Ferintosh has become a hamlet of Camrose County. After several months of review, it was determined that the former village would dissolve and return to hamlet status. The County now assumes the assets, liabilities and operations of Ferintosh. Camrose County is to receive a transitional grant from the province of $1.2 million. However, it is estimated that the capital improvements to infrastructure will be about $5.8 million. The County gave first reading to Bylaw 1463, the Ferintosh Livestock and Poultry Bylaw. Camrose County does not allow livestock or poultry in any of its hamlets, and it is currently banned in the land use bylaw. “Since the community of Ferintosh went to a lot of effort and community engagement to create a livestock and poultry bylaw, we recommend maintaining the regula-

ment has developed other tactics/technology to help bring offenders to justice. When a pursuit is justified, many factors are continually evaluated by the pursuit supervisor, including time of day, traffic volume, road/weather conditions, speed, and much more, all of which can change moment by moment. These are dynamic, serious, split second life and death decisions. The offenders are often high on drugs, having no regard for public safety. That leaves it up to the police to make sound, rational assessments with public safety at the forefront.

tions for that hamlet,” said planning and development manager Anjah Howard. The bylaw, along with changes in Bylaw 1462 to the County’s Land Use Bylaw, will allow the residents of the Hamlet of Ferintosh to maintain their existing policies on the keeping of livestock and poultry in their community. The policy of the former village would specifically apply it to the Hamlet of Ferintosh, all administration would be through the County office. Currently there are only one or two licensed poultry operations within Ferintosh. January permits have not been renewed. “Since we need to update the land use bylaw as well, which requires public engagement, planning determined it would be best to bring this back for second and third reading at the same time as Bylaw 1462 to amend the land use bylaw.” First reading was passed at the County regular meeting on Jan. 28.

munity building and the celebration of diversity as core objectives, SingAble choristers examine the dynamic nature of the human singing voice, improve music reading, part-singing, improvisation and movement. The SingAble winter term (February to April) repertoire will focus on a central theme inspired by the four classical elements – earth, air/wind, water and fire.

Do you remember back in October 1979 when new Tom Petty releases hit the airwaves and they were instant hits? Now you can listen to the entire album of Damn The Torpedoes that sounds like the original Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Classic Albums Live will recreate the classic album live on stage – note for note on Tuesday, Feb. 18, beginning at

7:30 p.m. at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. Nobody will ever replace Petty, but we’ll be hearing “Refugee” for a long time. It’s been just over 40 years since Damn the Torpedoes was released. The sound of that album reminds everyone of the end of the ’70s. When the current musicians started learning this album, they were struck with how beautiful the guitars sounded

– silky and graceful. They started out with two guitarists and then added two more. It’s the sound of four guitars that allows the music to soar. Damn the Torpedoes was the third studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released on Oct. 20, 1979. It built on the commercial success and critical acclaim of his two previous albums and reached #2 on the Billboard album chart.

Wood to present vocal class

and

By Murray Green

Alberta-born Caitlin Wood has been making a name for herself in the vocal performance community throughout Canada, particularly in the world of opera. It’s been quite an honour for the music division at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus to have been able to arrange for Ms. Wood to present a vocal masterclass at Augustana Campus on Wednesday, Feb. 12 beginning at 7 p.m. in the Faith and Life Chapel. She received her Masters of Music in Opera Performance from the University of Toronto, and gained attention as Joanna in Sweeney Todd. Caitlin has appeared in operas throughout Canada and performs in concert halls as a solo artist and with symphony orchestras. She began this season in Pacific Opera Victoria’s Il Trittico, reprising the role of Ava in the company’s touring production of Missing. Upcoming performances for Caitlin include the lead role of Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro and Cunegonde in Bernstein’s Candide, both with Edmonton Opera. She has an interesting personal connection to Augustana in that she was the voice protegé of Augustana’s professor Ardelle Ries for several years as a young student at the Alberta College Conservatory of Music (now MacEwan University Conservatory of Music) in Edmonton. Caitlin has been described as “absolutely vibrant”, showing “great comic flair” in comedic roles and displaying “exquisite vulnerability” and sensitivity in others. Mark Morris called Caitlin’s recent Comtesse Adele “the standout performance of the evening” in Edmonton Opera’s Le Comte Ory. Masterclass participants are vocal majors in Augustana’s Bachelor of Music program. An invitation is extended to the general public, as well as all voice teachers and students in the Camrose area and in the Augustana and Community Conservatory music programs. There is no charge for admission. The audience will be treated to several arias, performed by Caitlin and will observe her coaching student performers. For further information, call the Augustana Fine Arts office at 780-679-1532.

The Emeralds Show and Dance Band will be performing its annual concert at the Norsemen Inn on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. Over the years, The Emeralds have recorded 29 albums and received six gold, two platinum and a double platinum award. In 1997, The Emeralds were inducted into the City of Edmonton’s Cultural Hall of Fame. Although they have hundreds of songs in their playbook, they are known around the world through international hit “The Bird Dance.” Allan Broder plays the tenor saxophone, sings vocals and is the band manager. He is the founding member. Since the formation of the band in 1970, the group has surpassed their wildest expectations. The success is attributed to hard work, extensive promotion, recording and touring. Wallis Petruk plays the tenor saxophone, violin, flute, clarinet, vocals and is the director. He has performed with the orchestras of Bob Hope, Mel Torme, Della Reese, Wayne Newton, Eartha Kitt, Mart Kenny and Tommy Banks. He has also performed with The Rebels, The Nomads, and The University of Alberta Symphony and String Ensemble. Don Remeika plays drums and sings vocals. He has been in the Canadian music industry for 41 years, 30 of which have been with The Emeralds. Terry Kole plays lead and rhythm guitar, banjo and sings vocals. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, he played rock instrumentals with The Ventures, The Fireballs, The Shadows and Edmonton’s own Bob Clark. Reiner Piehl plays the keyboards, bass and sings vocals. He plays a variety of instruments–a list that’s grown to include keyboard, saxophone, clarinet, flute, bass guitar and guitar. He began performing at the age of 13, playing bass guitar and singing in a rock band. The Emeralds are no strangers to Camrose as they have played here on many occasions. There will be a late lunch and a ring raffle during the evening. Tickets are available by calling McTavish Deliveries at 780-672-5242 or at the Norsemen Inn.

The Bailey Theatre board reviewed the eighth year of operation and discussed the attractions of 2020 at the annual general meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 28. “The directors have made the reports paperless to reach a wider audience, save on production costs and be more environmentally friendly. Visit the website to view not only upcoming events, but also past reports,” said vice president Barb Stroh. The Bailey Theatre had more than 14,000 people in the building, sold in excess of 12,000 tickets, recorded more than volunteer hours on 103 event days. The number of events increased by 12 per cent. “Our eighth season was one with several milestones as Camrose’s historic Bailey Theatre continues to provide our city and beyond with life’s entertaining moments,” said Barb. “We revisited our vision, mission, values and goals in order to fine tune our future direction. We see the Bailey as a thriving historical and cultural icon well into the future, as we continue to reach out to others who feel our passion and commitment,” she added, about president David Francoeur’s report. The venue programming continues to grow and provide a wide variety of entertainment. He said they are proud of the contributions to the Camrose economy and our equally important contributions to the social vitality of people in this region. “We continue to work on building valuable relationships with our patrons, performers, renters and public through clear

and open communication,” added David. This year, to ensure long term sustainability, directors concentrated on increasing revenue sources and profit to offset increasing costs to ensure long term sustainability. They are finding ways to manage expenses and improve management of human and financial resources through better oversight and processes. Board members, staff and 103 volunteers were all thanked for their services of more than 4,000 hours. Lea Polny was acknowledged for her design of marketing materials. President Francoeur agreed to return for another year. Vice president is Barb Stroh again, treasurer is Celia Leathwood and secretary is now Colleen Nelson. The top shows last year included The Ennis Sisters, George Canyon, SingAble Christmas and Kelsey Dinner Theatre. The Bailey Buckaroos continue to be popular with monthly concerts and benefit concerts. Films through the Toronto International Film Festival Circuit brought award-winning films to the community. It was noted that 60 per cent of the patrons were from Camrose, 16 per cent from rural areas not counting Camrose County, 13 per cent were from Camrose County and 11 per cent were from further away such as Edmonton. “The Bailey is ripe with the kind of atmosphere one can only get in an old venue, where musicians, actors, and showboats of all shapes and sizes have been treading the boards for over a hundred years. Times are tight for the arts, everyone

knows that, but it seems that in Camrose at least, they got it right,” said Stephen Fearing, of Juno awarded band Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. About 41 per cent of the events held at the Bailey are live music. But 23 per cent is live theatre, nine per cent films and 11 per cent community events. “We are grateful for the continued support of our community including The Camrose Booster and sponsors,” said Barb. The Bailey Theatre had the opportunity to enter a recent Telus Storyhive contest for a film grant. Thanks to all of you who voted for our submission, Marquee Rising, received a $50,000 grant to complete a 25-minute documentary. The film will trace the origin, life, rich history and restoration of western Canada’s oldest surviving vaudeville theatre, The Bailey. The Marquee Rising project is in the editing stage and is set to be released in June. “When visitors are looking for things to do in Camrose, whether they are on vacation or visiting friends and relatives, the Bailey Theatre is almost always the top of the list,” added Barb. “The Bailey Theatre Society board works very diligently throughout the year to ensure the funds are there to pay staff, maintain the building and keep the lights on so the show can go on.” A major obligation still outstanding is the mortgage on the building, but through our Burn the Mortgage Fund initiative, we have reduced it by half. “An anonymous patron has agreed to match any donation to the Burn the Mortgage initiative, to a maximum of $20,000.

The Ewerts cherish their 1948 Ford trucks By Murray Green

Leanne and Mark Ewert of Ryley own a 1948 Ford truck that brought back a lot of memories for the couple. “I’ve had a truck like this since I was 16 years old. We dated in a blue truck, just like this one. When our children were finally through university we started to look for another one. This one was partly completed when I bought it, so I finished it. Now I can finally drive it,” explained Mark. “I finally finished it (a year and a half ago) and this is my first car show (Tofield Show and Shine).” Mark still has his original truck and has been collecting parts for it. “I was going to fix that one when I found this truck that had the body already done. This speeded up the process of getting a truck ready in a couple of years. I still have mine and about five others. I’m still going to fix my first truck when I retire,” said Mark. “It has a GT Mustang drive train with a fuel injected 302 motor with an automatic overdrive transmission. The suspension is TCI (total cost involved) kit, vintage air conditioning, disk brakes all the way around, rack and pinion steering, so I modernized it. I wanted to drive it. “My wife said if we are going to have it, we are going to drive it. It’s not a trailer queen, she said if we are going to car shows, we have to drive it. You can tell because I didn’t get all of the bugs off,” said Mark.

COLLEGE MEMORIES

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Mark and Leanne Ewert of Ryley brought back a lot of memories when they decided to restore a 1948 Ford truck. This truck is similar to the one they travelled in during their college days.

“I love the curves on this style of truck and old vehicles. I like the fat fenders. I like the new 2020 Corvette because I like anything with wheels, but I really like the old vehicles. You can tell what make they are from a distance. In other words, they are not all the same like they are now,” said Mark. “The old vehicles have character

FUN FACTS

The first-generation of the Ford F-Series is a series of trucks that was produced by Ford in North America from 1947 to 1952. In 1948, it featured wider, longer and taller cabs. Model designations for trucks were badged as F-1s. Heater only, no defroster. Running boards were curved over the frame and under the cab. The introduction of the F-Series marked the divergence of Ford car and truck design, developing a chassis intended specifically for truck use. In Canada, Lincoln-Mercury sold the F-Series under the Mercury M-Series nameplate to expand coverage in rural areas. Ford shared the same cab design on all F-Series trucks; C-Series trucks moved the cab upward and forward, requiring a higher hood.

and I sure get more thumbs up than a new car.” He shared the work he had to do. “I had to fix the suspension, wiring, transmission to shift properly, the brakes, e-brake and over the whole thing mechanically,” Mark shared. “I want to put in an antique trunk in the back to use as my tool box. I haven’t found the right one yet.” The first-generation F-Series truck (known as the Ford Bonus-Built) was introduced in late 1947 (going on sale Jan. 16, 1948), replacing Ford trucks introduced in 1941. “My truck is noisy, but it is fun. New cars are way quieter, but this truck is more fun,” he added. “My wife and I went to college together and I drove my old truck in college. It was also blue,” said Mark. “It broke down on the way to my sister’s wedding,” recalled Leanne,

about a time when it wasn’t reliable. Mark said, “The difference now is that it is way easier to get help with cell phones,” he laughed.

She was behind his decision to fix the truck because of all the old parts lying around their place anyway.

Alcohol leads Let me play out to shenanigans this scenario for you… Jan. 28

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.

In memory of

Lois Lauber Lois Joanne Lauber of Tofield, AB was born on December 15, 1940 in the Lee Roth home, presently the farm where Vic and Charlene Roth reside. She passed away on January 23, 2020, shortly after her 79th birthday. She was the first daughter born to David and Velma (Yoder) Lehman. Lois had a childlike enthusiasm for life, always ready and waiting for an adventure, even if it meant tenting in the mountains with her grandchildren in her seventies! She had a genuine love for others, especially her family. Throughout her school years, church and young people’s activities, she grew to know and love William Joseph Lauber. They were married on June 8, 1960. Holding her precious memories close to their hearts are her children Mardelle (Dale) Oslund, Rod Lauber and Charlene (Vic) Roth; grandchildren Geoffrey Oslund and Jennelle (Clint) Young, Gillian Oslund, Melissa (Rhys) Jones, Miriam (Keith) Neufeld, Sawyer (Tori) Roth and Jordan Roth; as well as eight greatgrandchildren; sister Marilyn (Rudy) Huebert; in-laws Ben (Pearl), Calvin, Murray, Byron (Leslie) and Phyllis (Geoff) Milligan; as well as many nieces, nephews and special friends. She was predeceased by her husband William in 2005, after 45 years of marriage; her parents; infant brother; brother-in-law Leo; sisters-in-law Ellen and Sylvia; and one niece Michelle Lauber. Lois attended Salem Mennonite Church. She attended singing tours with Paul Voegtlin in her youth, taught many years of Sunday School, Bible School and Pioneer Girls into which she poured her heart, and she served on the hostess committee for the church. Lois passed away with her family by her side. She kept her positive outlook and love for life throughout this past year during her battle with cancer. She has left a hole in our hearts and will be greatly missed. A funeral service was held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, February 3, 2020 at the Salem Mennonite Church (one mile north of intersection TWP492 – Range Road 184).

October 1, 1930 ~ January 21, 2020 Gordon Fredrickson, formerly of New Norway, passed away on January 21, 2020 at the Drayton Valley Continuing Care Center. Gordon was the fourth child of Ruth and Holger Fredrickson, born on October 1, 1930. Gordon was raised on Holger’s small mixed farm with his brothers and sisters, helping with chores and attending New Norway High School until graduation. In 1952, he married Leona Flohr of Edberg, and they followed the drilling rigs and oilfield to various locations before moving to the farm he bought from Holger. Here they raised four sons. Along with running a mixed farm, Gordon also worked as an operator in the local oilfield. In 2005, Gordon and Leona moved to Camrose. Gordon and Leona travelled extensively with lifelong friends which created a bond between the families which will be carried on for generations to come. They loved visiting friends and often had company stop by for coffee or went visiting. Gordon loved to curl, golf, fish, hunt, travel, attend church and camp, making many lasting friendships along the way, including special lifelong friend and neighbor Vic Luckwell. His grandkids and great-grandkids were loved and very special to him. Left to cherish his memory are his children Jim (Fe) of Drayton Valley, Kenneth of Edmonton and Allan (Laura) of Red Deer; daughter-in-law Carmell Fredrickson of Drayton Valley; ten grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. Gordon was predeceased by his wife Leona; son Robert; parents Holger and Ruth; siblings Judith Huolt, Bill Fredrickson, Vern Fredrickson, infant sister Sonya and Sonya Nielsen.

George Helmuth Meyer May 26, 1933 ~ January 27, 2020 It is with much sadness and love that we say goodbye to our husband, dad and grandpa. George will be remembered by his wife of 57 years, Martha; his daughter Valerie; daughter-in-law Janelle; grandson Luka; sisters Helen and Irma, sisters-inlaw Shirley Meyer and Opal Meyer; and numerous relatives and good friends. George was born in Richdale, Alberta, on May 26, 1933, to Amalia and William Meyer. He loved learning and was destined to become a teacher. After attending the U of A, George’s teaching career began in September 1952 when his mom and dad dropped him off at a one-room school at Matthew’s Crossing. He had a sleeping bag, clothing and a bag of groceries. George spoke of this time fondly and often. He had a soft spot for the Magnolia area and had many memories of his school, the hardships he encountered, the kids and playing ball. After four years, declining enrollment meant that George had to move to another school. In those times, it was easy to find a school and George eventually decided on one in the Fort Vermilion School Division called the Batt School. George was known for putting on extravagant Christmas concerts and he would often go across the road to borrow the sewing machine of his mother-in-law to make costumes for his concerts. He loved that school, but after a couple of years, it closed down and amalgamated with another school called Rocky Lane, which was where George went next. George’s life changed, again, when he was introduced to Martha Batt at a Batt family Christmas supper. Although Martha lived in Edmonton, they began writing and visiting whenever they could. They married in July 1962 in Rocky Lane. A year later, their daughter Valerie was born and things became busier yet! George was a great dad; reading stories, changing diapers, giving advice, helping with homework and worrying. George became principal of Rocky Lane School and was there until 1979 when the family moved to the Camrose area. George took a teaching job at Bawlf School and finished his teaching career there many years later. George was known for many things, but in the summer, it was his love of gardening. His garden was immaculate and he loved sharing gardening advice and the fruits of his labor. He also loved travelling around with Martha, buying and selling antiques, decorating the Christmas tree with Hallmark ornaments, going to dances, playing piano, walking his dog Jasper, giving advice to his grandson, card games with friends and being a substitute teacher! George’s family would like to thank the staff at Bethany Meadows in Birch Cottage for all they did to help make him comfortable and safe during his battle with dementia.

So many times you had us rolling on the floor in laughter. You never ceased to amaze us. You taught us how to give a joke, take a joke and be the joke. Through you, love and laughter are entwined in the fabric of our family. You had a way of making everybody feel noticed, important and taken care of. You encouraged us to be everything we could be, with everything you had. Your passion, enthusiasm and commitment to your endeavours always impressed us and inspired us. We know that everything you did was for us, your family. Your character, morals and work ethic has always been our standard. You stood taller and beamed brighter, holding your grandchildren. Your pride was never turned towards yourself, but always towards us. We will show our love for you with our love for each other. It is time to celebrate the love that unites us. He will be forever in the hearts of his wife Donna; children Sara (Josh) Gibb of Calgary, Nathan (Kristen) Gregory of Cranbrook, BC, Geoff (Carson) of Lumby, BC, Joanna (Dylan) Downie of Kimberly, BC, Janis (Tyler) Cranford of Edmonton, and Aaron (Ellen) Gregory of Calgary; mother Clara; twelve grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and cousins; sister Jean Becker of Port Coquitlam, BC; sister-in-law Sharon Bradley of Kimberley, BC; brother-in-law Bob Ness (Janet Beauchamp) of Chase, BC; sister-in-law Lorna (Grant) Kvemshagen of Edmonton; and mother-in-law Frieda Ness of Camrose.

Norman Hans Jacobsen January 27, 1931 ~ January 25, 2020 Hans ‘Norman’ Jacobsen of Camrose, formerly New Norway, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2020 at the age of 88. Norman was born in Edmonton to parents Carl and Anna on January 27, 1931. In the spring of 1932, the Jacobsens moved from the big city to a ranch near Wetaskiwin where Carl started working as a hired hand. Norman attended formal schooling in Wetaskiwin until 1946, when Carl purchased a farm in the Verdun district near Duhamel, where Norman discovered his lifelong love of farming. In the early 1950s, he found the love of his life when he met Mary Green of Daysland. They were married on November 12, 1952 at the United Church in Camrose. They moved on to the Jacobsen farm near Duhamel, soon building a house where they could start their life and family. Norman and Mary were blessed with three sons, Rick (September 1953), Ken (September 1955) and Dale (January 1958). With a growing family and farm, Norman had to work various jobs in the oilfield, doing construction, and working at the Stelco plant in Camrose to make ends meet. Norman worked extremely hard, but also loved and cherished his time with family, friends and community. Norman enjoyed playing baseball, refereeing hockey and coaching his sons in senior hockey. As their boys grew older and were able to help more on the farm, Norman and Mary began to travel, taking many trips with friends from around the community. When their grandchildren came along, Norman found extreme joy in being a grandfather. He loved spending time, teaching little tricks, and watching many of the sports in which they were involved. In the early 1980s, Rick and Ken began farming more with their dad. Norman continued farming until he retired at the age of 70. After retiring, Norman and Mary remained on the farm until 2006 when, at the age of 75, they moved into a townhouse in Camrose. Norman enjoyed the activities of living in town. He would often go swimming, play crib at the community center, volunteer with the Kodiaks hockey club and taking in the farmers’ markets. In 2017, they moved out of their townhouse and into an apartment at Seasons Retirement Community. In the fall of 2019, Norman and Mary were both able to move into Bethany Meadows Assisted Living, where he lived until his passing. Norman will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 67 years, Mary; sons Ken (Vera) and Dale (Darlene); daughter-in-law Karen; grandchildren Julie (Warren) Boychuk, Ryan (Jaimie Pastuck), Ashley (Ryan) Toner, Lindsey (Lorne) Blake, Carley (Dan) Day, David (Lindsay) and Jordan (Nikki); great-grandchildren Brady, Riley and Emily Boychuk, Kane and Owen Toner, Zoe and Anna Blake, Hailey, Zachary and Jake Day, Barrett and Jensen Jacobsen, and the newest one due any day; special brother-in-law/friend Knud Christenson; and extended family, nieces, nephews and friends. Norman was predeceased by his mother Anna and father Carl; son Rick; brother Fritz; and sister Karen Christenson. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, January 31, 2020 from CityLights Church (4920-48 Street, Camrose) with Rev. MaryAnn Pastuck officiating. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in Norman’s memory may be made to St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

County still seeking funding information By Murray Green

Camrose County administrator Paul King received updates from colleagues at the Alberta Rural Municipal Administrators’ Association Zone 5 meeting, held on Jan. 22 in Vegreville. Ethan Bayne from municipal affairs explained the minister’s guidelines on assessment. The majority of the model review is not ready to implement, but has two main objectives: to enhance competitiveness of industry

and to protect the viability of municipalities. “They have now struck a committee to review and it will be a fairly quick process, looking at right options and reviewing information related to base costs, depreciation curves with some potential that depreciation curves could be amended to allow down to 10 per cent from 40 per cent in the past, which is a 75 per cent reduction in assessment,” said King. His counterparts are not sure if the province is

recognizing the cumulative effects on the local taxpayer of the changes that are being made by individual departments, assessment, police costs, education and uncollectible taxes. “It might be a little from each department, but when you add them all up it could be significant on taxpayers,” warned King. Only 20 per cent of properties are being inspected on an annual basis, expectation is that industry will self report improvements. “CAOs requested that

the province consider an auditing process to ensure that the data is correct, otherwise municipalities will need to hire assessors to check the work the province is doing. We requested that municipalities be permitted to see the assessment information, the same as the taxpayer receives. We requested that the province figure out a legislative tool to allow municipalities some ‘hammer’ to collect unpaid oil and gas taxes.” MSI funding is still

under discussion and not really clear what is going to happen. “We are looking for an allocation formula and what the program will look like. Previously it was based on 48 per cent roads and 48 per cent population basis. However, now that Edmonton and Calgary have a new separate deal it took out 50 per cent of the population, but only 10 per cent of the roads, so the previous formula will not work any more,” added King.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and colour are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here to help you get the results you deserve.

Kodiaks split series with Saints as season hits final month By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks scored once in the first period and added two in the third frame to knock off the Spruce Grove Saints 3-1 on Jan. 25. McKenzie Welke connected on a power play in the opening period to give the Kodiaks a lead. It stood up until the middle frame when Spruce Grove tied the game. Then Carson Welke notched the winner about a minute and half later and Erik Miller added an insurance marker later in the period. Neither squad could score in the third period. Netminder Griffin Bowerman made 28 of 29 saves. Camrose had 23 shots on goal. In the first game of the series, Spruce Grove won 4-1 on Jan. 24. After a scoreless opening period, the Saints scored twice in the second and added two more in the third before Connor Brock netted a marker for the Kodiaks. Bowerman stopped 42 of 46 shots, while his teammates collected 22 on the Saints. Camrose also lost to the Drumheller Dragons 5-1 on Jan. 28. The Dragons scored two in the second before Cody Laskosky replied for the Kodiaks. Then Drumheller turned up the heat with three unanswered tallies. Camrose will host the Whitecourt Wolverines on Feb. 4 and the Bonnyville Pontiacs on Feb. 7. Both games begin at 7 p.m. in the Encana Arena.

Strike Force preparing for bowling nationals By Murray Green

The Camrose Special Olympic bowling team will be a Strike Force at the 2020 Special Olympics Canada Winter Games. The local team named Strike Force at provincials, qualified for nationals in late February in Thunder Bay, Ontario for the national competition. The team is led by coach Faye St. Onge. Camrose bowlers include Jon Gurr, James McGillivray, Aleena Lazar, Jody St. Onge and Mitchell Banks of Ohaton. The team made the provincial squad after competing in the 2019 Special Olympics Alberta Winter Games in Calgary. They will bowl in both singles and team bowling. The Camrose team practices every Thursday to prepare for the Games. You can join the team and Mayor Norm Mayer in bidding a safe and successful trip to Ontario on Feb. 20, at Tabb Lanes at 4:30 p.m. Special Olympics Alberta is dedicated to enriching the lives of Albertans with intellectual disabilities, through the transformative power and joy of sport. Their vision is that sport will open hearts and minds towards people with intellectual disabilities and create inclusive communities. “We’re representing Camrose and we needed to pick a team name. And this was after Jon had bowled his 255 and Mitchell bowled his 296. They decided on Strike Force. So that’s what our team name is,” Faye said.

Tylor Keller

Withdrawal on the first day and after can be intense. Using nicotine replacement therapy or pharmacotherapy doubles your chance of successfully quitting. Get advice from a pharmacist or your doctor. Have lots of healthy snacks and gadgets on hand to help with cravings, keep your hands busy and keep you distracted. Common supplies include cinnamon sticks, unsalted sunflower seeds, crunchy veggies such as carrots and celery, herbal or decaffeinated tea, stress ball, fidget spinner or cube. Think about new hobbies such as knitting or painting and stay positive. Try not to let negative thoughts overtake you. Quitting is hard and for the first few days you’ll need to take it one hour at a time. Make a list of your reasons for quitting and keep it handy—in your wallet, on your fridge door, even taped to your computer at work. Try to focus on why you chose to quit in the first place and envision how good you’ll feel when you are smoke-free for good. Think of a positive mantra—perhaps “I will beat this and be smokefree”—and repeat it over and over if you feel negative thoughts slipping in. Triggers may include places, people or situations that cause you to want to smoke or vape. Everyone has their own triggers, so

know yours and avoid them where possible. Remember the four Ds: delay, deep breathe, drink (water) and do. Alcohol can reduce your resolve to stay quit. Consider drinking water or herbal tea as alternatives. Avoid caffeine, as it’s a major trigger and can give you the jitters. Try an alternate beverage like tea, juice or water. Stress can trigger an urge to vape or smoke, so try to stay calm and do some deep breathing. Consider yoga or meditation to help you stay relaxed. Avoid being around other people who smoke or vape. This might be hard if your family or friends smoke or vape, but ask that they don’t smoke or vape around you and organize activities where people can’t smoke, such as going to the movies. If sitting around after meals is a trigger, get up and move. Do the dishes, brush your teeth, call a friend, go for a walk or go to the gym. QuitCore is a free group support program that provides Albertans 18 years and up with the tools and skills they need to quit vaping and using tobacco. The program consists of six 90-minute sessions over a period of up to nine weeks at various locations around the province. To get help, text: ABQUITS to 123456. Or call 1-866-710-7848.
