A sneak-peak into the SAITSA student clubs Clubs on campus offer new experiences for students

AITSA offers students at SAIT the option to join an existing student club, or start a new one themselves to add to their student experience.

Currently, SAITSA has 62 registered clubs for students to choose from including Anime and Gaming Club, Baking and Pastry Arts Club, Dungeons and Dragons Club, and Pride Club among others.

One of the newest clubs at SAIT is the SAIT Parents club, which was started last year by Christie Page, club president, and a mother of two children. She saw there was no place for parents to “connect” and get “support” tailored for parental needs, and decided to change that situation.

“When I came to SAIT I was shocked to find out there was no club for parents,” she said.

She decided to approach the SAITSA office and find out the process for getting a parent club started.

“I just walked into SAITSA’s office and asked, ‘how do I do this?’ – There’s a bit of paper work, you need to have yourself and one other person to start a club: a president and a VP,” said Page.

The Parent club has 15 members on its Facebook page, and have held a pool party so far. The page aims to create events that are easy for parents to attend and bring their children.

The group is a place for parents to “come together” and “have fun” during their time at SAIT, she said.

SAITSA offers a variety of clubs for students, including the SAIT Baja Racing club, in which members build a buggy to race in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Baja events in the US. Benjamin Yuschyshyn, president of SAIT Baja Racing club, said they build the buggy from scratch and will be

competing in the races in 2020. Teams from all over the world participate in the event with the same engine in their buggies.

“We design everything on it ourselves, we have to follow a rule book given to us, and every teams runs the same engine in their cars,” said Yuschyshyn.

Club members meet twice a week in the Thomas Riley building, Wednesdays at 6 p.m. and Saturdays at noon, to plan events and students are welcome to drop in and sign up. However, there is a $100 fee for joining the club.

“We want anybody with any an interest to be able to join and make a difference in the club.”

The club will be holding various fundraising events, such as a video game competition, in 2019 to help fund their racing buggy, which must be ready in time for the competitions next summer.

Verda Kocabas, geomatics guru SAIT’s academic chair for the GIS program on drones, lasers, and the future of mapping

By Sean Feagan | News Editor

VERDA KOCABAS, the Academic Chair for the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program at SAIT, is a geomatics guru, with a PhD in Geography from Simon Fraser University, and a career which includes consulting in the private sector. We spoke on how GIS has a boring name (but is actually mind-blowing), where the field is going, and some novel applications of new technologies:

4

Where is GIS used?

VK: Everything we do has to do with location. Any company or organization that uses location uses GIS. It’s a system that stores, manages, and analyzes spatial data to help decision makers. To some degree all industries and companies utilize GIS — the applications are limitless — and with technology changing and organizations understanding the power of GIS, [the impact of GIS] is increasing.

How have new technologies affected geomatics?

VK: One is the improvements of computer technology itself. We used to have floppy disks; now we have data centres, we have terabytes and terabytes of data storage, and the computers are now more powerful. What that means is that we can process more data. Ten years ago, you had to wait two days to get a result — now, it takes two minutes.

The other is new equipment, like UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] and drones – they are getting very popular. We are also now getting very detailed images from satellites, which we only used to get from aerial photography (imagery taken from fixed-winged, piloted aircraft). So we have more and better data.

The other part of technology is web-based applications, and smart phones. Uber uses maps and location all the time, so it’s a very simple GIS system. You can’t run it without your map, and [having the ability to] calculate the shortest route for the driver.

Laser scanning [using a laser/sensor system to map objects in 3D] has been getting more and more popular. It’s getting easier for users to get data out of laser scanning, and it’s getting more helpful. We used to have larger, half-million-dollar machines, but now we have smaller machines that now only cost $20,000. There are laser scanners that you hold in your hand, shake it, and walk to map an area — and in some applications that’s enough.

What are some situations where laser scanning is used?

VK: There are so many examples. One interesting example is in crime scene investigation. It’s so important to document the state of the crime scene to go back to it and analyze it, and the best way is a laser scan. If you have a large crime scene, a UAV might be a solution.

Another example is in building and design. One of our cap stones groups did a project where Rouge restaurant, a very old building, was thermal scanned to understand where the coolest points are. They then combined [that data] with a laser scan of the building, to create a model in 3D. If you’re an architect or a restoration expert, you use that data.

What is your research on?

VK: It’s spatial modeling to predict urban growth. It looks at the next 20 years, and how people like us will pick locations [to live] in the city based on their characteristics and their preferences, and then show how the city will grow in the next 20 years, including across different scenarios. The idea was to help urban planners and policy makers make decisions for the city.

What do you do as academic chair?

VK: I oversee the GIS and geomatics programs. One of the reasons I joined SAIT was I wanted to help the future of GIS and geomatics. Students that graduate here are the future. I want to have a hand in that, because our graduates are the ones who are going to change the industry.

Cannabis: Behind the wheel and in the workplace

By Brett Klassen Sports Writer

D

espite cannabis now being legal to purchase and consume, the rules around impaired driving and cannabis in the workplace remain a mystery to many Calgarians.

Cannabis use is widespread across Canada, particularly among younger people: according to research done by the Canadian Centre of Substance Use and Addiction (CCSUA), around 21 per cent of youth aged 15 to 19, and about 30 per cent of young adults aged 20-24, used cannabis last year.

Getting high is a daily occurrence for almost a third of Canadians aged 15 and older who used cannabis in the past three months, according to the study.

For those that like to light one up, considerable risks — and potential consequences — arise when driving is introduced.

When it comes to blazing behind the wheel, cannabis results in performance deficits, including tracking reaction time, visual function, concentration, short-term memory, and divided attention, according to the CCSUA. Simulated and off-road driving also show increased “lane drifting,” following distance, and speed because of cannabis consumption.

Cannabis has also been found to impair performance, multi-tasking, and the ability to monitor and respond to more than one source of information at a time. It compromises the ability of drivers to handle unexpected events, such as a pedestrian darting onto the roadway.

Even though driving while high on cannabis can be dangerous, a common trend is the increased variance in driv-

ing performance. Some of this variability is attributed to differences in study design, like the dosage of cannabis taken, the sensitivity of the task, and time after smoking.

There also appears to be considerable variability among individuals because some people show substantial impairment after relatively small amounts of cannabis, while others show only moderate effects after the same dose.

These differences may be related to task skill, tolerance of the substance, and frequency of cannabis use.

According to Canada’s Lower-Risk Cannabis Use Guidelines, vehicle operators should typically wait six hours before driving after cannabis use, but that duration could be longer, depending on the person, the product used, and whether other substances, like alcohol, are involved.

The law doesn’t look kindly on driving stoned. Penalties for a first offense for impaired driving are a Canada-wide license suspension for typically one year, an average $1,500 fine, higher insurance costs, and trouble crossing the border into the United States, according to Calgary Police Service.

Inebriation is determined by Tetra-

hydrocannabinol blood concentration (THC): blood concentration exceeding two nanograms per millilitre results in a maximum $1,000 fine.

If someone is found to have five nanograms per millilitre or more of THC, or two-and-a-half nanograms per millilitre of THC combined with fifty milligrams per 100 millilitres or more of alcohol, things get even more serious.

The first offense carries a minimum $1,000 fine, the second offense has a mandatory 30-day jail sentence, and the third offence has a 120-day imprisonment.

More risk is added when cannabis is introduced into the workplace, explained Dr. Riz Qureshi, clinical associate of family oncology at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre. Qureshi founded Kannavolve, a business run by a group of doctors who educate patients and citizens about cannabis and the implications of use.

“There was an increased risk of accidents with cannabis by employees,” he said.

“Employees who tested positive had 55 per cent more industrial accidents, and 85 per cent more risk to injury.”

Technology isn’t just taking jobs away – it’s creating more Coding is an invaluable skill in the modern world

By Rizwana Shaikh News Writer

T

he new Central Library offers students an opportunity to learn about the growing software coding industry that offers a variety of software development careers.

The Learn to Code workshops, hosted by EvolveU at the new Central Library, are free to attend, and offer insight into the fundamentals of learning how to code said Larry Shumlich, team lead and mentor at EvlolveU. The industry “desperately needs” individuals trained in software development because technology is “our future” and companies require some level of coding to stay ahead in the market, he said.

“Everything nowadays is based on computer software,” said Shumlich.

Employers seek candidates with an understanding of software development, and the knowledge to handle basic coding tasks, he said. More positions in the work field now require some type of coding ability, and students can benefit from the added knowledge.

“Many people don’t realize there’s an incredible career available for people who know how to do software development.”

Beginner coding courses start with developing an understanding of computer logic, how tasks are performed, and an introduction to various languages used for coding, such as JavaScript, Shumlich said.

“Our goal is to try to get more qualified people in Calgary, so that Calgary can become more of a tech city.”

John Pitchko, SAIT’s Associate Dean in the school of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), said coding is “writing the instructions for a computer to perform a series of tasks,” which can be “rewarding” to learn.

“There’s high relevancy (in the workforce) for individuals who can write code,” he said.

Pitchko said SAIT holds information sessions in the spring for their various computer science courses.

Canada Learning Code (CLC) also offers free workshops for individuals

to learn coding. They hold sessions for children at Calgary libraries to equip them at an early age with the tools to keep themselves safe digitally said Jocelyn Phu of CLC. “An early introduction to digital literacy education only makes our society better,” she said.

The organization offer various sessions for individuals to gain basic coding skills. These sessions can also include industry professionals who share their experiences, Phu said.

“Being digitally literate for a lot of people means a new way for them to engage and interact with the world, so you’re not just a user of technology you’re also an active builder.”

From student to instructor

Meet SAIT’s instrumentation instructor and motorcycle enthusiast

By Tiffany Oud Lifestyle Editor

F

Edward Bons is an instrumentation engineering technology instructor at SAIT. (Photo by Jp Pitogo)

rom his 1973 graduation to teaching in 2018, Edward Bons has watched SAIT change through the years.

Bons has taught instrumentation at SAIT for the past 15 years. He first came to SAIT as a student in the Electrical Engineering Technology program from 1971-1973, before eventually completing his degree at the University of Calgary.

“I was always interested in electrical things, and I was always interested in seeing how the world worked,” says Bons.

Bons describes instrumentation as “anything where you have to measure or control a process.”

After working in the instrumentation industry for years, Bons returned to SAIT as an instructor, where he found a love for teaching.

He enjoys the process of sharing his knowledge and expertise, and seeing the lightbulb turn on the moment his students understand a concept.

“You can actually see them grow in that.”

Along with the course material, Bons tries to instill both a work ethic and sense of responsibility into his classes. He says it is satisfying to watch students embrace that. He endeavours to prepare students for the reality of working in the industry through being fair, without being lenient about deadlines.

“I can theoretically retire now, but I don’t want to.”

-Edward Bons, instrumentation engineering technology instructor Bons explains that working with hazardous equipment is something to take seriously. If procedures are not followed properly, the consequences are extremely dangerous, and can even be deadly.

“I didn’t [follow the procedures] once because I wanted to get done quickly, and I just about got killed,” recalls Bons.

“So you have to kind of follow procedures and make sure it’s done – even [when] it doesn’t make sense.”

He says he wants to help students build an appreciation for the technologies that interest them. Bons himself is fascinated by the way mechanical and electrical things work, as well as understanding the physics of the world.

“It’s not a job, it’s a lot of fun.”

Cody Dickinson just completed his first semester in the instrumentation technology course at SAIT. Dickinson was formerly an electrician, but moved from his home in Saskatchewan to attend SAIT. As an electrician, he would hook up instrumentation equipment without understanding what it did.

“So I kind of wanted to figure out

why I was doing what I was doing.”

Dickinson says Bons taught an overview of the bases of instrumentation in his class.

He describes Bons as laid back, and says “he knows his stuff – he’s good.” Bons is a teacher who can explain complex ideas well, according to Dickinson.

“If you went to him with a question, he would do a good job of explaining what was going on.”

Thanks to Bons, Dickinson has gained a greater respect for the aspects of class he finds uninteresting.

Dickinson explains that Bons helped him to see that “for a regular Joe, to learn that stuff would be expensive, but SAIT has it for a group, so you might as well take advantage of it.”

When Bons was an EET student at SAIT, he recalls the campus community as being notably accepting of drug use, which he became a part of for a time.

“It was pretty ramped here at the time; it was really bad.”

Bons explains that one weekend he found faith in Jesus Christ, and turned his life around.

“From that point on I was being changed, I didn’t do any drugs, or anything.”

Bons credits a lot of his passion for instrumentation to that personal change.

“Everything made sense – it just seemed like the world was there to explore, and I was interested in electrical things, so I pursued it.”

Bons now enjoys riding his motorcycle and connecting with people at various rallies, which he attends with the Christian Motorcycle Association.

“I’ve been riding for about 20 years – and that’s when my wife let me buy a bike.”

“I love it. You smell everything, see everything, feel everything. You’re more in tune with everything around you.”

The teacher also enjoys playing squash with his friends and colleagues at SAIT, and makes an effort to connect with the campus community.

Bons explains that although he has taught at SAIT for many years, he finds great enjoyment in his work.

“I can theoretically retire now, but I don’t want to.”

algarians don’t have to stay in hibernation mode for the next four months. In fact, getting some much needed exercise and enjoying a nice cup of hot cocoa could be exactly what is needed to chase those winter blues away.

No matter what the weather is like, Calgarians are going to get outside and get themselves moving in whatever way they can, according to Lindsay Gallant, manager at Earned Media, Tourism Calgary.

Whether it be cold-weather fat biking, Olympic bobsledding, luging, or speed-skating, Calgary is a city that “lives, breathes, and dreams sports,” said Gallant.

“It’s a city where pulled hamstrings and weekend warriors are as common place as passionate sports fans and Olympic athletes.”

For the less sport-inclined Calgarians, a trip to Zoo Lights, or the Airdrie Festival of Lights could be a great alternative to skiing the slopes,

11

or soaring down the same track as the Olympians.

Zoo Lights, Calgary Zoo’s annual light installation was started as a way to provide the community with an “exciting holiday tradition,” according to Trish Exton-Parder, lead media relations at the Calgary Zoo. And she said it was a hit from day one.

“When you talk to people who have never been before, I don’t think you can really appreciate what that immersion in light is like until you actually experience it,” she said.

The light installation consists of two million lights adding up to 50 km put up all around the zoo grounds.

“It’s a pretty amazing amount of festive lights that you experience from the moment that you walk in the gate.

“It really isn’t something that you can describe to people until they’re here and you get that injection of holiday spirit whether you like it or not.”

In addition to the lights, Zoo Lights offers skating, fire pits, music, hot cocoa, and more.

Parder recommends students pick

up their tickets online to avoid the inevitable line ups and to take the LRT to make an easy way to experience a great night.

Whether students want to get some fresh air and see the zoo at a time they wouldn’t normally be visiting, enjoy the holiday spirit, spend time with family, friends, or a date, Parder said Zoo Lights can be a great way to stay active during the holiday season.

For those willing to travel further north for their outdoor experience, the Airdrie Festival of Lights, Western Canada’s largest, free, outdoor walkthrough Christmas light display, offers up miniature train rides through Nose Creek Park, hot beverages, and activities for all ages.

According to Michelle Pirzek, coordinator at the Airdrie Festival of Lights Society, there is something for everyone at the Festival of Lights, and the non-profit society accommodates the young and young at heart.

“What better way to get some exercise and get out there and be active than walking through beautiful Christmas light displays?” said Pirzek.

“When you talk to people who have never been before [to Zoo Lights], I don’t think you can really appreciate what that immersion in light is like until you actually experience it.”

y ditching fast fashion, students can stay on trend and within their budget by shopping at a local consignment shop.

Kensington, just a stone’s throw away from SAIT’s main campus, is brimming with unique and specially curated consignment shops.

“You’re gonna find way cooler things at a consignment shop, because they’ve been specifically curated and their articles of clothing come from people that have travelled all over – it’s a really curated collection,” said Michelle Morigeau, owner of Peacock Boutique Consignment.

According to Morigeau, the best thing you can do when shopping consignment is to ask if there are any sales going on.

“If you shop at the end of the season we always have big sales going on,” she said.

Regardless of when you go, consignment shopping will always be a better option than hitting up a mall where “everything is the same,” according to Morigeau.

“All the styles are the same [at the mall], and you’re just gonna look like everybody else walking around.”

And according to all-time consignment lover and employee at Kensington Konsignment, Crystal Dew, the most beautiful thing when it comes to fashion is that you can make it your own.

Dew suggests following your instincts when shopping second-hand,

try something on, and create the outfit using your own sense of style as your compass.

The best thing about shopping consignment is the effect that it has on our environment, according to Dew. “First and foremost, our planet earth is important.

“Consignment shopping helps to make good use of our material resources, and because you are saving money it’s also good for the wallet.”

Legendary enforcer lives on Bob Probert documentary screened at Plaza Theatre

By Brett Klassen Sports Writer

T

he life of legendary NHL enforcer Bob Probert has been put on the big screen by a local filmmaker.

Tough Guy: The Bob Probert Story follows the “heavyweight champion of the NHL” from the 1980s and 1990s. The film follows Probert through his early days in hockey, his 16-year career with the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks, and his struggle with addiction and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). It debuted at Calgary’s Plaza Theatre on Dec. 13.

Probert died of a heart attack in July 2010, and is one of many deceased NHL enforcers found to have CTE. However, the documentary focuses more on Probert’s career. The enforcer, who played from 1985 to 2002, is fifth all-time in NHL penalty minutes, and is unofficially credited with 236 fights by hockeyfights.com.

The documentary, directed by Geordie Day, is an adaptation of a book his mother, Kirstie McLellan Day, co-wrote with Probert before his death, Tough Guy: My Life on the Edge.

Day said the book on Probert was the one book he connected with the most out of all his mother’s work.

McLellan Day has co-written many memoirs of notable hockey figures.

“Bob reminded me the most of some guys I grew up with, some hockey players,” Day said.

While Day’s mother was writing the book, she had audio tapes of Probert, leading all the way up to his death. Day used the tapes to insert a fresh take into his documentary.

“The movie is essentially narrated

by Bob. “We thought that would be a cool style, to have Bob narrate his own fights as they’re happening.

“You’re seeing his fights, and he’s explaining what’s happening. You’re seeing a game and he’s talking about what’s going on - providing context.”

Besides Probert narrating his hockey career, he also describes his downfalls with addiction, which were a lifelong trend.

“To me, addiction is sad. I think right from day one that’s what we saw, a life filled with addiction, and addiction takes the toughest,” said Sheldon Kennedy in the film. Kennedy, himself an addict, was Probert’s teammate and close friend.

Kennedy recollected on his time with Probert, witnessing his battle, and seeing a glimpse of what could be, but would never completely happen.

“What I remember more than the hockey stuff is when we lived togeth-

er,” Kennedy said.

“I saw a guy that was a great person, and did the right thing when he wasn’t drinking, or drunk.”

Fellow NHL enforcer legends like Tie Domi, Marty McSorley, and Tony Twist also appear in the film.

Other appearances include Probert’s wife, Dani, and Don Cherry.

Day said it was really exciting to talk to the former “goons,” and they were excited to talk about Probert.

“I think Bob was a guy’s guy. He was a favourite in the NHL amongst people that played on his team. He protected them; he was a big, goofy guy,” Day said.

“Any NHL player that played with Bob just adored him, so they were happy to chat with us.”

Day believes that Probert set an example for other NHL enforcers to be honest and truthful.

Kennedy discussed what it was like to be around Probert in his prime.

On a star-studded 1990s Red Wings team, the fan favourite enforcer managed to share the spotlight with stars such as Steve Yzerman.

Kennedy also said there will never be anybody like Probert: an enforcer who could not only fight, but score goals.

“He was a great character and I think he’s a very unique individual, and there won’t be another Probie.”

A new year’s resolution that works Joining a team could be a more effective resolution than joining a gym

“[Personal training] helps people to learn a lot about the gym and how to work out.

“However, after their sessions are done usually people stop coming to the gym as much,” - Danny Reimer, a local fitness consultant.

By Olena Yavny Weal Writer

H

aving support from teammates after joining a sports team can improve your motivation, and get you on track to reach your health-conscious new year’s resolutions.

With the new year upon us, many people struggle to accomplish their resolutions because they don’t enjoy the goals they set for themselves, and don’t have the support of others.

“Setting goals, like wanting to exercise more or eat better, is really hard to try and accomplish on your own,”

said Arielle Fitzgerald, a holistic nutritionist and professional cross-country athlete.

“Joining a sports team helped me immensely to accomplish my goals. I felt I was more accountable for them in that way.”

Fitzgerald also goes to the gym.

Sandra Koshman, a holistic nutrition advisor, recommends taking supplements to relieve stress; however, the support of being on a sports team can be just as beneficial to relieve the stress of a new year’s resolution.

Danny Reimer, a local fitness consultant, said he sees a lot of people signing up for personal training in the new year.

“[Personal training] helps people to learn a lot about the gym and how to work out.

“However, after their sessions are done, usually people stop coming to the gym as much.”

Reimer suggests going to the gym, as well as joining a sports team like a beer league, for that extra push to reach your goals.

SAIT intramurals have a wide range of sport teams for students to join.

Registration for intramurals started on Wednesday, Jan. 2, and the deadline to sign up is Tuesday, Jan. 15.

Trojans cricket team shows promise, gaining momentum in first competitive tournament

By Brett Klassen Sports Writer

T

he Trojans seek greatness in the world of cricket as they enter their first year of competition.

Cricket, a sport that originated from south-east England in the 16th century, is a game with 11 players on each team. Similar to baseball, one side has a hitter, and one side has a pitcher called a bowler.

Scoring is determined by how many runs are made and how many wickets are lost. Wickets are a set of three stumps with two bails on top. If one of the two bails, a small stick placed on top of the wicket is knocked down, and one of the stumps is removed.

The team started a couple years ago, according to Ahmed Ehsan, captain of the Trojans Cricket team.

In the early beginnings of the team, they didn’t carry the name of ‘Trojan’. Ehsan said he had a conversation with former SAIT rec-

reation programmer Jared Hidber about taking the team to the next level, and representing the Trojans on the pitch.

He added there was a good response by promoting the team via social media and SAIT events.

“Our goal at the end is to promote the sport among SAIT students,” said Ehsan.

“That should make a really good, strong, SAIT team to compete with other universities.”

Ehsan found approximately 20 players on the team who gave it everything in their first tournament hosted by the University of Calgary Cricket Association (UCCA).

The eight-game knockout tournament, which took place on Nov 2425, was comprised of eight teams, five from U of C, two from SAIT, and one outsider team that plays in the league.

Both SAIT teams had a stellar debut, winning both of their games against U of C. The Trojans’ second team fell in their second game to one

of the other U of C teams, while the Trojans’ first team remained, winning two games against U of C. “They were good, quality, U of C teams,” Ehsan recalled.

The remaining Trojans’ team made it all the way to semi-finals in their first major competitive tournament, but fell to the outsider team.

“For our first tournament, I guess it was quite good for us,” said Ehsan.

The success on the pitch is in part credited to practices with Calgary Cricket.

“We actually have them coming out to our practices and help further develop our game,” Ehsan said.

Ehsan explained that the practice games they had in preparation for their first tournament were crucial to their success.

“Obviously practice plays a huge role in preparing guys for the matches. But the match situations [in practice], that’s when a good player will step and perform,” Ehsan said.

There is nothing but praise coming from Ehsan regarding the support from the Trojans staff, especially intramural and club sports coordinator Stephen Anthony.

“Regarding any of the equipment, regarding any of the jerseys, logistics, practice schedules, he’s the guy,” Ehsan said.

Anthony, who took the job in October of this year, predicts the cricket team won’t be among the sports that have reached Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference status.

“There are a few sports that are currently in the club status that could potentially be an ACAC sport, but cricket itself, I don’t believe it has a future in the ACAC.”

Up-and-down first half for men’s volleyball New players and aggressive mindset lead to 10-4 start

A

fter an up-and-down start, the SAIT Trojans men’s volleyball team finished their first half with a seven-game winning streak.

At the winter semester break, the defending Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) champions had a 10-4 record, placing them second in the ACAC South Division.

Their winning streak came after losing four straight games in late October.

“Any time a new team is forming, you’re going to go through some dips and some highs, and that was one of our dips, but the guys were active in trying to get out of it,” said head coach Sean McKay. The coach noted they lost against the top teams (Lethbridge College and Red Deer College) and won against

the weaker teams (Ambrose University, Olds College, and Medicine Hat College.)

In order to bridge that gap, McKay said the team’s passing needed to improve.

“We’ve got some great attackers, we just haven’t been able to use some of them because of our passing,” said McKay. Veteran fifth-year setter Nathan Goss echoed that, saying the team needed to “find ways to score when things aren’t going [their] way.”

“Against the good teams, we have to play some clean ball, have a good sideout percentage, and reduce our errors from the service line,” Goss added.

Goss was leading the team by a wide margin in assists (343), even though his assists per set (7.98) was down from his career average of 9.36.

McKay wants to continue the

team’s aggressive offensive mindset, even though they ranked first in the ACAC in errors (247) at the break.

However, they also ranked fourth in points per set (14.7).

“If you don’t make those errors, you’re not going to get better at those errors,” said McKay. “If you step back and try and wait for teams to make the errors, it’s not the process we have in mind. We’re going to be aggressive until the end,” said Goss.

However, the team was also becoming more defensive the last few November games. The Trojans led the ACAC in digs (606) at the break.

Libero Andy Birchall, who has seen the floor more in his second year, had 148 digs through 12 games, leading the ACAC in both digs and digs per set (3.22).

Birchall was one of three new Trojans singled out by McKay as having gradually set in with the team, along with middle blocker Brennen Willis and outside hitter Jarrett Noel.

“Willis is a little different set for [Goss] and Alex [Lyndon] to find, but we’re starting to find him well,” said McKay. “Noel is doing an awesome job, he’s had a couple dips in a few games, but other than that he’s been high-percentage.

“Those guys are all starting to come through now into their own, but it was a little bit of a rough go in the start,” McKay finished.

Goss said that despite the new personnel and different expectations, the team had the “same mentality” as last season’s championship team.

The men’s volleyball team returns on Jan. 11 at home against the Ambrose University Lions.

Searching for a second-half surge Trojans men’s hockey team keeping pace with top teams

By Alex Hamilton Sports Editor

S

AIT Trojans men’s hockey head coach Brent Devost believes his team is one of the best in the conference, and one that will get better when they return in January.

At the fall semester break, the Trojans were 9-5-0, comfortably in fifth place in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC.) Devost notes that just four points separate the Trojans from first place.

Their last three weekends in November saw them play series against three of the top ACAC teams – NAIT, Red Deer College, and the University of Alberta-Augustana – and the Trojans went .500, splitting each series.

“It would have been nice for us to come away with a sweep on one of those weekends, but obviously we’ve shown we can beat every team.”

Devost was still satisfied with the team’s progress, especially given the fact they played with a depleted roster.

“We’ve had players in and out of our lineup with injuries, we’ve had suspensions come our way.

“In probably eight of 14 games, we had forwards playing defence, in many cases two forwards.

“Overall, though, I think guys are getting more used to each other, we’re getting some set line combos set up, our special teams are starting to play together a little bit more.”

Led by goalie Payton Lee, the Trojans ranked third in goals against in the ACAC. Through ten games, Lee was third in the ACAC in save percentage (.922) and second in saves (329.) His coach said the workhorse goalie would get a rest in the second half, with backups Jordan Cartney and Austin Wells getting more starts.

“We’ve been very pleased with how Jordan’s played [in four games], and as for our third goaltender Austin, he deserves credit for all the work he’s done in practice keeping pace.”

However, the coach was pleased

with the team’s overall defensive work.

In the second half, Devost noted, the Trojans’ defence will be boosted by former Western Hockey League (WHL) d-man Brady Reagan joining the team. Reagan played from 20132018 with the WHL’s Regina Pats, Lethbridge Hurricanes, Calgary Hitmen and Kamloops Blazers.

“We’re excited to put [Reagan] into our lineup for the last 14.”

The Trojans’ special teams are an area of priority. Their power play (15.3 per cent) and penalty kill (79.5 per cent) both ranked sixth in the ACAC at the break.

Devost acknowledged that the first step in killing more penalties is to take less of them. The Trojans ranked first in the ACAC in penalty minutes, over 100 ahead of second-place Portage College.

As for the power play, the Trojans have been good at drawing penalties (first in ACAC with 98) but mediocre at converting them. Devost said that the team was giving up too many shorthanded opportunities.

The team had well over a month between their previous game on Nov. 28 and their return on Jan. 11, but the coach was not concerned about the rust factor.

“I think the biggest way to come back fresh is for the guys to get a nice break and be with their families and wind down a little bit.

“We come back Jan. 2, a little minicamp if you will before we play on the 11th, so we’ll get seven or eight good skates in.”

The team returns on Jan. 11 at home against the Portage College Voyageurs, the first of three straight home games to start the second half of the season.

The Palomino hosts its annual Christmas fundraiser

A

local establishment, the Palamino Smoke House and Social Club, know for its raucous concerts, rowdy evenings, and rustic nature, is also known for something else: its charitable spirit and involvement in the community.

The Palomino is home to the Annual Toy Drive for the Women’s Centre of Calgary.

Hosted this year on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2018 the event is one of many across the city designed to raise funds for those in need. Relying on donations from both bands, in terms of

donating their time to perform, and patrons, the event raises “car loads” of toys for those in need.

Started in 2002, the annual toy drive has evolved over its 15 plus year history.

“We started at Bamboo, and The Drum and Monkey, but after we closed those in 2015, we moved it to the Palomino,” said Danny Northfield, co-owner of The Palomino Smoke House and longtime Calgary bar owner.

“It is always nice when a local band is willing to donate their time to an event like this.”

Originally the donations were for the Alberta Children’s Hospital, but

Northfield saw that the Women’s Centre was in urgent need for help.

“We dropped off donations one year at the children’s hospital and we saw how much stuff they were getting every year. Then we heard about the Women’s Centre and how they were struggling to fill their toy room.”

According to the Calgary Women’s Centre website, over 3,500 women and children relied on the toy room to provide for their Christmas needs in 2017 alone.

The Women’s Centre serves women and children in need and is meant to provide a safe space for those who need it.

“We see how the toy drive is used to help families and it has always felt like the right fit for us,” said Northfield.

Since then, The Palomino has devoted an evening every year to raising funds and toys for the centre.

“Every year is amazing when the next day you drop off multiple car loads of donations.”

The Palomino is not alone in its toy drive, partnering with UFCW Local 401 and the Rangers Support Club of Calgary.

“They have always been a big help in making the drive successful,” said Northfield.

The Palomino is part of Concorde Group, of which Northfield is vice-president. “I know a lot of other establishments run fundraisers throughout the year and during the holiday season.”

This year’s fundraiser featured local bands Bad Animal, The Torchettes, The Corey Hotline, Lashes, Scratch Buffalo and Poke the Bear.

The cost of admission was either one unopened toy, or a suggested donation of $15.

Not Scrooging on quality A Christmas Carol offers rich visuals, solid acting

Sean Feagan News Editor

H

ow do you make a classic that has been performed across thousands of productions spanning decades stand out to an audience? For Theatre Calgary’s production of A Christmas Carol, running Dec. 11 to 23, striking visuals and solid acting help separate it from the rest.

A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday masterpiece, is the ultimate holiday story of salvation: the quintessential crotchety old man, Ebenezer Scrooge, experiences a transcendental transformation, and discovers the holiday virtues of caring and compassion.

In the story, Scrooge gets scared straight by a Christmas eve intervention enacted by three mysterious spiritual entities. Putting aside its holiday familiarity for a

moment, Theatre Calgary’s portrayal of A Christmas Carol is a surreal story that is truly a trip for the viewer.

Given the striking visuals of the play, which include wild set elements, imaginative multi-coloured costumes, and abundant use of stage play like wire-flying, it seems like Theatre Calgary might share that explanation for why Scrooge had such a wild night.

The rich visuals of the play start with the basic appearance of the set: rather the red-and-white scheme typical of many Christmas classics, the set had a blue frost-pattern backdrop offering striking contrast to the brown and orange colours of many costume and set elements.

The most downright captivating elements of the play were the spirits themselves.

tion, was a bright-white elf-like character who consistent with the typical take, watches as Scrooge flies around the set on a tour of the trials of his tumultuous past.

Then rolls in the Ghost of Christmas Present — literally, on a copper steampunk fruit-powered carriage — who, while donning a white suit with red, blue, and, yellow “presents” that make the outfit look like a Mondrian painting, acquaints Scrooge with the true implications of his demeaning behaviour.

The most striking spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, was presented as a ten-foot-tall, cloaked, deathlike human-puppet hybrid, whose terrifying appearance had me in the audience racking my brain for ways I could improve for those around me — truly frightening stuff.

Besides the visuals, the cement truly binding the production together as a captivating and impressive work was the cast, both in terms of how they seemed well suit-

ed for their respective roles, as well as their individual acting performances.

Stephen Hair, the actor who has played Scrooge for 25 years, perfectly captures the full range of the character, from crusty curmudgeon to cheerful chap. Hair is obviously a consummate professional, and sells the part.

The other actors were still impressive in their roles, both in terms of choreography, acting, and vocal performance during the play’s several holiday carols sprinkled throughout the play. The pitiful pleading of microscopic Tiny Tim, played by Olivia Collier, strummed the heartstrings in particular.

A visual masterpiece with solid acting, A Christmas Carol was a great opportunity during the holiday season to put distractions away for a while, reflect on your Scrooge-ness, and feel that Christmas spirit.

Ellen Doty does her province proud during her Alberta Spotlight Showcase concert

A

lberta musician Ellen Doty gave Calgarians a show to remember at the National Music Centre as part of the Alberta Spotlight Series showcase.

The showcase puts on displa the best talent Alberta has to offer. Started in 2018, the program is meant to showcase Alberta talent from various genres and provide them with the

support and with a location to perform.

Doty, who will be performing at the National Music Centre this week, has been a part of the Alberta music culture since her childhood, and is excited to be part of the series.

“I want my music to be that thing that reminds people to tell others that they love them and to always be conscious of how we treat others.The program is meant to showcase a variety of artists from various genres and

has been popular since its inception in January of 2018.

“You have to be really good to be part of it,” says Adam Fox. Fox serves as the programming director at The Calgary based National Music Centre and organizer of the Alberta Spotlight series.

Doty, who is originally from Okotoks Alberta, has been on the rise in Calgary, with the 2018 release of Come Fall, a full length EP and Already Home, a single. The latter of which is part of a campaign to raise funds for Inn From The Cold.

“Already Home,” a single performed with Calgary based R&B artist Ruben Young, is done in partnership with Monogram coffee. This partnership is the second charitable endeavour Doty participated in over many years; the partnership in 2017 was with Danny Vacon, of The Dudes fame.

Doty, who has been performing since her childhood, has frequented many genres. Her primary genre however is jazz. This love of jazz comes from her exposure to the genre from a young age.

“My grandma lived across from Nat King Cole in Los Angeles and both my grandparents really loved jazz and that was passed down to me.”

However, Doty’s music travels in multiple genres. From jazz, Indie rock, folk and pop, Doty’s musical ability offers listeners with a chance to learn from multiple genres. This is intentional, according to Doty.

“I view my music as a good middle ground for people who have not listened to jazz before.”

May all your troubles last as long as your new year’s resolutions With the right mentality, you can keep your goals for the whole year

By Emma Giustini Weal Writer

I

’m going to lose weight. I’m going to exercise every day. I’m going to go on a diet and stick to- is that cake? Sound familiar?

It seems around the new year we make goals with every intention of keeping them, but many of us can’t seem to stick to them longer than a few months at most.

Changes in diet and exercise seem to be popular goals people make every year. We all want to strive to be healthier.

Why wait until January 1? Why not start to make changes in, say, the middle of the year?

On why people tend to wait until January 1 to try to make diet changes, Jessica Begg, a registered dietitian at Shift Nutrition, had some insight to offer.

“I think that in the context of making New Year’s resolutions, people choose to make positive changes at this time,” said Begg.

“Healthy changes to diet are at the top of the list. This is also timely as most people are coming from lots of holiday parties and family engagements. This makes taking care of your health prior to the New Year difficult.

“January becomes a good time to refocus in that area.”

So, we know the good intentions

are there, but why can’t we seem to stick to our goals?

According to the article Ten Reasons Why New Year’s Resolutions Fail from Lifehack.org, it’s because people treat a marathon like a sprint.

If your goal is to lose weight, don’t follow a super restrictive plan that makes you super unhappy – instead start with something easy and add onto it each week.

“Lofty goals are difficult to sustain,” said Begg.

“Drastic changes to ingrained patterns will be destined for failure. Small changes are effective as you can build on these, and more importantly, you are more likely to keep them up throughout the year.”

An example of this is cutting out sugar. Instead of trying to cut out sugar completely, try to go from 10 chocolate bars a day to 9, and then the next week, cut it down to 7.

We need to develop a mentality for change in order to be able to accomplish our goals.

“Change is slow, so take your time,” said Begg.

“Change is also difficult, so be easy on yourself.”

It will most likely be hard in the beginning, but if you give it time and are persistent you can achieve your goals.

One way SAIT students can achieve the goal of eating healthier is to “learn to cook, and cook often,” said Begg.

“Learning how to cook some meals you enjoy, so that you can have a habit of cooking at home, goes a long way.”

You don’t have to wait until the arbitrary date of January 1 to make changes to your life, whatever they may be.

A year from now you may wish you’d started today.

If your goal is to lose weight, don’t follow a super restrictive plan that makes you super unhappy – instead start with something easy and add onto it each week.

Defending a child-free lifestyle

By Emilie Charette Opinions Editor

F

or many people, life follows a similar path: grow up, graduate high school, find a job, or attend post-secondary to get a job, get married (or not), and have children.

However, that last step is one more people are choosing to skip entirely.

Not childless, but child-free, we buck the trend for a variety of reasons.

Sheldon Smith, SAITSA’s publications coordinator, realized the challenges of parenting while looking after his much younger siblings.

“When I was younger, my parents had two children that are substantially younger than I am,” he said.

“I’ve got 15 and 18 years on them, respectively, and my parents worked away a lot – they worked irregular hours.”

Although he loves his siblings dearly, he had to take on a lot of the duties of raising children.

“I had to help with a lot of the chores around the house, changing diapers and bathing kids, getting up and checking on a kid at two in the morning.

“It taught me a lot of the responsibilities of having a child.”

He was in a long-term relationship in his twenties and considered having children with his partner eventually, but has cemented his decision to be child-free.

“Once the relationship ended, I did kind of a scan of myself and where I see myself professionally and personally five, or 10 years down the road, and kids weren’t in that picture.”

Luckily, he hasn’t experienced any societal pressure to have children.

“You’re starting to see more people make the choice not to have children,

whether they decide to have a couple more pets, or whether they just want to live their life free of children because they want to do things on their own,” said Sheldon.

Although more people are embracing this lifestyle, a stigma or, at the very least, surprise is attached to it.

My experiences, as a woman, are different from Sheldon’s.

I have a vivid memory of a class in high school when we were sharing what we hoped our futures would look like.

Having known I wanted to be childfree since I was 16, I mentioned that, and was met with surprise from my teacher, who asked what I’d do if I met “Mr. Right” and he wanted kids.

The joke’s on him, though – I met Mr. Right, and he doesn’t want kids either. We’re quite happy to have the ability to take off on a road trip on a whim, or sleep in and play video games on the weekend.

Part of my own desire to remain child-free stems from the fact I can barely take care of myself some days.

I can’t imagine being responsible for a tiny human that is completely dependent on me for their survival. That idea is a terrifying one.

Another factor is the vision I have for my professional future. Journalists work long days and erratic hours, neither of which are conducive to raising a child. However, I know the career I’ve chosen will be a rewarding one, and I want to dedicate my time to that, rather than motherhood.

Don’t get me wrong – I have a lot of respect for people who take on the challenges of parenthood.

But I know that it isn’t for me.
