One hundred years ago, Scandinavian immigrants to Camrose and area were busy establishing a local ski club. The “Fram Ski Club”, as it was called until 1920 (when it was renamed the Camrose Ski Club), was home to many daring Norwegian ski jumpers. As the club grew, so did the reputation of members' amazing ski jumping ability. Crowds of 3,000 spectators attending a day of jumping were not uncommon! When the first wooden ski jump collapsed in 1926, many local people became involved with Nordic cross-country skiing.

In 1977, a cross-country ski Loppet originated in Camrose. Years later the original race became named the Ole Uffda Loppet. It’s a classic technique race, family oriented, with an appropriate distance for every age and level.

On Saturday, January 21, this year’s Ole Uffda Loppet ski race will be held in conjunction with the club’s 100th anniversary.

Cougar caught on Evraz security camera, disappears

By Murray Green

At about 8 p .m. on Saturday, January 7, a c ougar came scratching at the entrance door of Evraz Camrose Works.

A security camera video at the steel pipe business shows a cougar walking up to the front door of Evraz. The mill where most employees work is located a long distance away from the front gates. "The first thing you do is make sure you are

safe," said Mike Kuzio, Camrose County Protective Services Manager. "Then you should call the Camrose Fish and Wildlife office or the police authorities. We all (RCMP, Camrose Police Services and County Protective Services) work together."

Not finding food, the large adult cougar left the industrial area in the north east part of the city and hasn't been seen since. "People should be aware

that cougars are in the area," said Mr. Kuzio. "Keep your pets, such as cats and dogs, in a safe place because there have been sightings. This doesn't mean people should be housebound. If you are going for walks in wooded areas always keep your pet on a leash.

If you have small children walking to school, make them aware of it (the cougar)."

It’s not uncommon for wildlife to travel within city limits.

Cougars have been known to follow deer and Camrose has several deer around Mirror Lake. "Most wildlife are skittish around people and they come out mostly at night or early mornings," explained Mr. Kuzio. "Make lots of noise if you are out walking because they are skittish." Last summer a black bear was spotted near the Camrose Regional Exhibition grounds.

"We usually receive a couple of calls every year on wildlife sighting. There are really no precautions to take. Just make sure to call the authorities if you see a cougar because if the animal has done nothing wrong, we can transport it to a better area for it," said Mr. Kuzio.

The Camrose Fish and Wildlife number is 780-679-1225.

Community supports children affected by violence

By Murray Green

Children exposed to family violence show the same pattern of activity in their brains as soldiers who are exposed to combat.

In a re cent study published in Current Biology, researchers used brain scans to explore the impact of physical abuse or domestic abuse on children’s emotional development. The common patterns of brain activity in soldiers and children in the study were associated with detecting potential threats. "To compare battle soldiers with pre-school children shows it might be sad f or the future of these children," said Sheralyn Dobos, Program Director of the Family Violence Action Society in Camrose.

Other research confirms that exposure to chronic fighting within the home impedes infant brain development – the delay can become permanent in the absence of early intervention.

BMO (Bank of Montreal) has provided an Employee Volunteer Grant to the Family Violence Action Society for work with children and youth affected by domestic violence and bullying.

Ken Dobos, Financial Services Manager at the BMO Camrose Branch, presented a c heque for $1,050 for individual counselling and group education programs for children and youth.

“Children deserve the best start to life we can give them.

A loving stable home is ke y to that,” said Ken. Grant funds were awarded in recognition of volunteer service provided by Ken to the Family Violence Action Society’s fundraising and awareness initiatives.

“It is well established that a hostile home environment affects the brain development of children, even from very young age,” said Sheralyn. "Parents who yell and throw things or punch walls when they argue and fight often believe that their children are too young to be affected, or that they are asleep." However, research indicates that 80 to 90 per cent of children living in homes where domestic abuse occurs are both aware of and affected by it. “Even between angry or violent outbursts, there is a level of fear and anticipation of the next event that

BMO financial service manager Ken D obos presented Camrose family Violence Action Society treasurer Joy Siebold with $1,050 for children and youth programs.

may be subconscious, whether the abuse is directed at the child or someone else in the home,” added Sheralyn.

The result for the children is seen in developmental delays.

Additionally, what children experience from an early age shapes their idea of “normal,” laying the foundation for unhealthy relationships to be repeated in adult life. Research indicates that a boy raised in a home where there is any form of domestic abuse is 1,000 times more likely to become an abuser as an adult than is

a boy raised in a h ome where anger and conflict are managed in healthy ways.

“One has only to read the police report for a week to recognize that a significant number of families in our community are impacted by violence,” said Sheralyn. Most often, the adults in abusive relationships have recreated some version of what they experienced in childhood.

“These are not bad p eople; they are wounded, hurting men and women who don’t know they can

change things, or that it’s even possible to have peace at home.”

But there is h ope and help.

The Family Violence Action Society provides a ra nge of services for the whole family. In addition to individual counselling for children and group work with young teens, there are adult programs geared to help change the context of home life.

Programs called Changing Ways for men, and Choices for women are designed for those who are or have been involved in an abusive domestic relation-

ship. These groups develop participants’ understanding of what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like, create an understanding of their emotions, and equip participants with healthy communication skills and stress management tools.

Graduates often describe the group experiences as life-changing. “Participants of the men’s and women’s groups typically look forward to coming each week of their programs, though initially they resent it and may not see the need if they are required to attend,” said Sheralyn. “For many, it’s the first time they have realized that home life doesn’t have to be stormy.”

A conflict resolution class is also offered for people who struggle with anger issues outside of domestic relationships, whether at work or in the community. Parenting After Violence is a g roup for parents of children, ages up to six years, to explore effects of violence on children, family patterns, positive discipline, single parenting and more. Short-term counselling is a lso available for adults dealing with anger and domestic violence. "Sometimes parents think that because no one is getting smacked against the wall, or going to the hospital, that it isn't serious enough to affect their children," explained Sheralyn. "The research really strongly indicates otherwise."

All programs on domestic relationships are currently taking registration and will start in February. Conflict Resolution will begin in April.

Individuals can register for any of these programs or services by calling 780-672-0141. No registration fees are charged. Family Violence Action Society strives to reduce the occurrence and impact of violence in our community.

Charitable donations to support this work can be made securely online at http://fvas-Central.ca.

Family Violence Action Society in the Camrose and District is a f ederally registered charity delivering services to East Central Alberta since 1996. Its mission is to work in collaboration and partnership with others to reduce the impact and occurrence of violence in our communities.

CRE's future is looking brighter

By Murray Green

After two very difficult years, the Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) enjoyed a break-even year in 2011.

"Hard work by the staff and the board, the success of the Big Valley Jamboree and a f ull year of operating the campsite helped turn things around for us," said Wynn McLean, CRE chief executive officer. "We are pleased with 2011. Panhandle and the campgrounds made some money and we had a rea lly good expense controlled year at the CRE to meet our budgets. It was a good comeback year."

President Stan Skotniczny agreed. " This past year we had a full year for the campground and that made a huge difference," he said. Now the campground will have a full year of promoting it behind them. "We can't see the light at the end the tunnel yet, but we can see a p inhole now," Stan said. "We have to continue to work hard to pay off our debt and interest. Higher operating costs have hit us hard."

Wynn added that "We have some cash flow problems because we have to pay off our debt. We will now have competitor challenges with a brand new facility in Ponoka," said Wynn. "We are excited about the hotel opening beside us." The CRE has 25 per cent of the gaming rights for the casino and will receive some revenue when they make a profit.

"We were looking for some diversification so we applied for the gaming license," said Wynn.

"That is one reason why we bought Panhandle Productions.

It was unfortunate that we were hit with a sev ere wind storm three weeks later. Welcome to the entertainment business."

Besides the cash flow issues, the CRE main building needs painting with special treatment on the outside and painting inside, and finish installing new flooring. The barns need improved lighting. "We also had a furnace go d own and all of a sudden we have to come up with $25,000 to $30,000 to install a new one," said Wynn. "Part of the reason we were successful last year was the fact we didn't have any major breakdowns in the wheeled equipment."

The CRE is still seeking an addition to the main building to house the employees in one location, increase the size of the banquet space and the main building space. "One of the reasons we brought Tom Gerling on board is to keep all of our operations under one umbrella," said Stan.

"We want to avoid duplications on the operations side. We are looking forward to this year and, as a board, we are there to provide support and direction. I t hink next year will be a go od one for the CRE." The CRE brings the city and the rural population together.

"The CRE has a g reat impact in this community, whether in education, agriculture, weddings, dog shows, rodeos, cattle buying and many other things that bring the people of not only this community, but many others in

the surrounding area together," said Stan.

Panhandle Productions continues to be the single most important revenue generator that we have and we will continue to be dependent on them until we are able to resolve our debt issues," added Wynn. "Our campground was an absolute gem this year. All of our events had a g reat year and I can't say enough about our employees and volunteers. When we come out of this (cash flow problem), we will be in a better position than any other exhibition in the province."

City representative on the CRE board Councillor Gerry Galenza said that "The CRE is a v ery important part of the community. We want to continue with support and we know that the events here are important to the city. One of the reasons it is successful is the number of volunteers that help."

James Cardiff, Stu Gilroy, Tammy Graham, Morris Henderson and Allister MacMillan were selected to fill three-year positions on the CRE board. Don Simpson, Diane Hutchinson, Ed Gaudet, Darrell Helgeland and Al Schindeler still have two years remaining. Barry Ness, Stan Skotniczny, Doug Berg, Dave Jewell and Tom Chelmick are on the last year of their term.

The executive consists of Ba rry Ness, past president; Stan Skotniczny, president; Don Simpson, first vice-president; Diane Hutchinson, second vicepresident; Tom Chelmick, James Cardiff and Morris Henderson, executive directors.

The senior management team is Wynn McLean, chief executive officer; Tom Gerling, chief finance officer and chief operations officer, Tammy Wollman, finance manager, and Big Valley Jamboree producer Larry Werner.

Thank You!

Dr. A. C. Jones and staff would like to extend our thanks to many in the Camrose community who have helped us at the time of, and since, the Christmas Eve fire on Main Street that destroyed our building: • To Camrose Fire Department, and specifically Joe Mah, for doing an excellent job of managing the fire situation and doing all that could be done to try to save our building.

• To Randy Haugen, fire investigator, for his professional and respectful handling of the fire scene and investigation.

• To Lorie Skiba of Lundgren & Young Insurance and Len Raymond for their immediate and skillful assistance with insurance issues.

• To Dr. Greg Parsons and staff for loaning of office furniture and offering office support.

• To the Foyd family and Janet for loaning us office furniture.

• To the family members, friends and many patients who have offered support throughout this difficult time, we say thanks.

• To the young lady who generously and anonymously paid for our breakfast at Brenda’s Café on the morning of the fire – we were all very touched by your act of kindness.

Lastly, and unfortunately, it is necessary to clear up some inaccuracies reported in the local and Edmonton media regarding the occupants of the building. The main occupant of the building was Dr. A. C. Jones Chiropractic clinic, followed by Camrose News and GIfts, both on the main floor. A new hair salon and the Foundation for Peace and Multiculturalism occupied rooms on the lower floor On the upper floor, there was a massage therapist near opening. There was no apartment suite or any other business operating on the upper floor.

In light of all the positive community support, it was very disappointing to hear unverified and erroneous information in the media which only served to create gossip and rumors.

Sincerely, Dr. A. C. Jones and Staff

PEN POINTS

by Berdie Fowler

In appreciation of a local work of love If you are not a s ubscriber, I s uggest that you go t o a newsstand and buy a c opy of the January/February issue of the Prairie edition of Gardens West. Its cover will look familiar to a Camrosian because it features a picture of the Canadian Northern Historical Society’s Railway Museum located here.

And that’s not all. Inside, the magazine features, as its lead story, an eleven-page spread which includes full color pictures of the beautiful gardens (by Adam Gibbs) and a brief story of the involvement of Bruce and Glenys Smith in creating and maintaining them (by Darlene Polachic).

I, along with others in our community, have long noticed and appreciated the achievements of the Smiths in developing this authentic railway museum and keeping alive the history of Camrose as a railway hub as well as telling the story of the railways’ role in the development of western Canada. At one time, three railways criss-crossed here: the Grand Trunk Pacific, the Canadian Northern, and the Canadian Pacific.

Later, the Grand Trunk and Canadian Northern amalgamated to become the Canadian National Railway. Since 1925, the CNR and CPR have connected Camrose to both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

The railway museum garden which the Smiths, with the help of some faithful volunteers, have created, is a popular tourist attraction. I, like others, have taken out-of-town visitors to browse through its various gardens and enjoy a light lunch or afternoon tea. Children especially, but adults, too, enjoy the separate little garden with the running model train and small replicas of the original train station and other buildings.

The Smiths are more than expert gardeners; they use the railway museum gardens to pique the interest of school-age children in gardening and to have respect for plant life and our botanical environment. They also have special occasions to honour the various ethnic cultures from which local residents have descended. They accept invitations to speak to groups about railway history and/or gardening. And, quite aside from the aforementioned, Glenys Smith sometimes entertains as a clown – she does that very well, too!

The City of Camrose has long welcomed retirees. The policy has been mutually beneficial. Retirees today, like Bruce and Glenys Smith, are often still young both physically and mentally, and are willing and able to fill their newly-found time with some form of community service. Then, as they age, they find an unusual range of extended care services available right here where they live. This results in local employment opportunities and a boost to our local economy. In the end, everyone wins. To date, Camrose has been the beneficiary of the decision of Bruce and Glenys Smith to retire in Camrose and create the authentic railway museum and gardens.

When I visit the railway museum, I like to imagine walking into the old station waiting room and hearing the continuous familiar dit dit dahs of the telegraph machine that only the station master could understand. I a lso like to stand on the station platform, look down the tracks and imagine a smokebelching black iron monster rolling at us, whistle blowing, then bells clanging, steam hissing, brakes screeching and platform vibrating wildly under our feet as the mechanical beast stopped in front of us. Scary but oh, so exciting, especially if one was a child waiting to get on board. What a pleasant memory!

A Booster bouquet to Bruce and Glenys and all the volunteers who helped them create and now maintain a fine historic attraction in our community which has just been publicized throughout the Prairie provinces in Gardens West.

Letters are welcomed but please limit them to 5 00 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only name of writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted. The Camrose Booster may edit f or length, clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments.

Dear Editor:

Achieving low and stable power prices must be a top priority for 2012, seeing as this year begins with Albertans paying the most ever for electricity.

High power rates put the squeeze on family budgets, especially through this post-holiday time. PC power deregulation is failing to protect families from painful hits to the wallet. Powercompany CEOs are paid millions in salaries and bonuses while families are pinched. This system doesn’t work.

Alberta power consumers will pay on average 15.2 cents per kilowatt hour in January – an all-time record for the monthly rate. The rate is d ouble what Albertans paid in January 2011.

Albertans are suffering dra-

matic shifts in rates month to month. The Industrial Power Consumers Association measurement of price volatility shows prices are twice as volatile this year compared to January 2010. Wildly shifting power prices make it more expensive for wholesalers to buy hedges against future prices, a cost that’s passed on to consumers.

A regulated system would keep prices low and steady so Albertans can budget properly.

I commit to Albertans that as premier I w ould regulate power prices in Alberta so this most essential service is affordable for all.

To pressure the government, we’ve started a p etition to regulate the electricity market in Alberta. To sign online or download a copy for distribution, visit ndpopposition.ab.ca/powerprices.

Brian Mason Leader, Alberta’s NDP Opposition Dear Editor:

Parliamentary Report

ber, 2011. Several of the almost 500 people who signed the petition recognized that legalizing euthanasia can lead to increased elder abuse and empowering the health care system to the detriment of individual patient rights.

As we were speaking with Camrose citizens about this petition, we realized that the public often has misconceptions regarding what euthanasia really is.

Euthanasia is a deliberate act intended to cause death. It is not a patient's refusal to accept treatment, though that refusal might eventually lead to death; and secondly, the decision by a doctor, his terminally ill patient, and the patient's family to administer pain-relieving medication, even when that medication may shorten the patient's life by a few days (here the intent is to relieve pain, not to cause death).

Most of us have lost loved ones, often to a painful and prolonged death. For that reason, the November 17, 2011, recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee on Palliative and Compassionate Care should give us hope that those with terminal illness will be able to access compassionate end of life care rather than assisted suicide – care, not killing.

Six novice teams will be playing a few extra fun games within the Camrose Minor Hockey program during Minor Hockey Week from Jan. 13 to 22.

The local minor hockey association encourages parents and hockey fans to watch some exciting games in support of all the players in Camrose Minor Hockey.

"This year we just have the novice teams involved in Minor Hockey Week because the atom teams compete in a t ravelling league," said minor hockey schedule organizer Paul King.

Novice will have three 15minute straight time periods with a five-minute warm up. If there is a tie after regulation time, the first tie breaker will be head to head results and the second tie breaker will be goals for, minus goals against, to give the week a tournament format. Minor Hockey Week is a time to bring out more parents, grandparents and fans to watch the little players in action.

On January 17, the Stars face the Leafs at 5 p.m. in the EnCana Arena. The next night, the Leafs take on the Lightning at 5 p.m. in the Max McLean Arena.

On Friday, January 20, the

Panthers tackle the Bruins at 4:45 p.m. in the Max McLean Arena, while the Flyers meet the Leafs at 5 p.m. in the Border Paving Arena and the Stars battle the Lightning at 6:15 p.m. in the Border Paving Arena.

On Saturday, January 21, the Panthers play the Flyers at 10:30 a.m. at the Border Paving Arena and the Stars visit the Bruins at noon in the Max McLean Arena.

All six teams qualify for the playoffs. They begin on January 22 at 9:15 a.m. with a C, B, A final in the Border Paving Arena. The B final starts at 10:30 a.m. a nd the A c hampionship final begins at 11:45 a.m.

Stop by the local arenas next week to support minor hockey and watch the future stars of the game in action.

Kodiaks

The Camrose Kodiaks' players will be dedicating several hours of their time on both Sunday, January 22 and Sunday, January 29, to assist Camrose Minor Hockey teams. They will be focusing on the initiation, novice and atom levels of hockey. The Kodiaks' players will spend their time tying up skates, filling water bottles, demonstrating drills in practice and helping coaches during games.

Sahakarini brings back the popular film, speaker series Submitted by Tif McNaughton

Sahakarini’s Film and Speaker series returns this winter, with five events planned spanning from February to April.

The series will kick off on February 2nd during Augustana University’s International Week.

As one of I-Week’s many interesting events open to the community, Sahakarini will host a dinner launching the series theme.

Donations will be welcomed at the dinner, but all of the film events are offered free of charge.

The evening's film, A Small Act, begins at 7 p.m. This film follows a young Kenyan boy named Chris and a Sw edish woman named Hilde, connected for decades by an education sponsorship program. Viewers learn the inspiring story of what Chris has done with the opportunities given to him, and how giving to the sponsorship program factored in to Hilde’s life.

The film series is funded by the Government of Alberta’s Culture and Community Spirit Fund. This year's theme is Poverty Has Many Faces. The film selections were inspired by an art piece created for Sahakarini by local artist Laura Falk. Throughout the year Sahakarini’s events have been highlighting the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and how the work of Sahakarini’s partners lines up with the goals. The MDGs ultimately aim to alleviate poverty around the world. Poverty holds many different meanings depending on one’s community or personal history – a nd is rarely as simple as ‘not having money’!

Is someone experiencing poverty because they were never offered an education? Is it because they live with discrimination, and violence? Perhaps because their region or nation has few natural resources, or those resources are

managed unfairly? M aybe they face great adversity, such as disease or a h ostile climate. Once coupled with the complicated foe that is poverty, what can be done to bring change? The Series is an opportunity to learn more about how a wide variety of global issues are being addressed, and to celebrate the work Sahakarini’s partners are doing.

A Small Act and the dinner will be hosted in the Faith and Life Lounge and Chapel at the University. The second film of the series will be February 14th, in the classroom building. Unlike previous years the series will move to various spaces, including two buildings on campus and the Bailey. Community members are encouraged to confirm the dates and times for each event through posters and pamphlets, Sahakarini’s web site and facebook page, or advertisements.

Laura Falk's artwork inspired the film selections for Sahakarini.

Contest brings country music to rural Alberta

By Murray Green

Travel Alberta and the Big Valley Jamboree organizers have joined forces to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the outdoor festival by offering rural communities a c hance to win a d ay-long country music celebration in their home town on April 28, through a contest called "Small Town Saturday Night."

The contest event includes a concert headlined by Canadian country music artist Dean Brody and a so ngwriters' circle

hosted by Alberta performer Aaron Lines. BVJ emcee Danny Hooper will make sure the concert runs smoothly. Brody helped kick off the BVJ concert last year in Camrose and Lines was a hit performer here in 2004 and 2007.

The winning community will be allowed to use the event as a fundraiser to support a local charity or municipal initiative of choice. "Alberta's vibrant rural communities are filled with authentic experiences that

travellers are looking for," said Jack Hayden, Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation minister.

"We want to shine a spotlight on our small towns and give them an opportunity to showcase what makes them unique."

Tips for entering the contest include selecting a c oncert location, creating a two-minute video showcasing what makes your community a great place to visit, uploading your video to YouTube and submitting your official entry form. Then invite the entire

community to vote for your video online to give it a better chance of winning.

The deadline for entries is March 2. A panel of experts will narrow down the eligible entries, choosing the top five submissions based on their depiction of community spirit and involvement, passion for local tourism attractions and events, and creativity.

The top five will be announced to the public on March 6 and this will be followed by a public vote

for the grand prize winner, ending on March 20.

The winning community will be announced on April 2, and the grand prize concert will take place on April 28. More than 200 communities in Alberta qualify for the contest, which is open to communities of 20,000 people or fewer.

Kodiaks add depth to blue line at trade deadline

By Murray Green

For the second straight year, the Camrose Kodiaks made three changes to their line-up during the final trade deadline on January 10.

And, like last year, Kodiaks' general manager and coach Boris Rybalka received three players without giving up any current roster players. "It's both the best and worst time of the year," said Boris, on assessing his busiest day of the season.

Camrose acquired the rights of forward/defenceman Dylan Schellenberg from the Estevan Bruins (SJHL) to complete a transaction from October 6, 2011.

That's when Boris sent Connor Milligan to the Bruins. "I've actually been trying to get Dylan since last year. He is a p ower forward, but can play both forward and defence. He is physical, skates well, has a great attitude and works hard," continued Boris. "I'm very excited to have him and I se e a l ot of potential in Dylan. There will be a l ot of teams cringing that we traded for Schellenberg. His is p hysical and when he is sk ating hard, he hits hard. Dylan doesn't have huge numbers, but that isn't how you win in playoffs. He has character and it is hard to believe he is only 18."

Dylan is a 1 993 born player from Drumheller who played 12 games of the 2011-12 hockey season with the Estevan Bruins. "It was interesting. I was talking to Estevan about trading for Dylan and they said why don't we finish off the deal from October. I sa id perfect, because we didn't lose a player off of our current roster."

Last year he played with the Drumheller Dragons where he picked up two goals and three

assists, along with 134 penalty minutes in 31 games. He was assessed 22 penalty minutes in four playoff games for the Dragons. Dylan also played 33 games for the Drumheller Dragons during the 2009-10 season, where he recorded three goals and 104 minutes in penalties.

It's a go od thing Kirsten Odendall stayed put until the trade deadline was over. Otherwise he may have racked up a hefty travel bill. First, the Brooks Bandits traded his rights to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (BCHL) for the rights to Dylan Nowa-

kowski. The Olds Grizzlys then traded the rights to Hunter Stewart to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (BCHL) for Kirsten. In his third move of the day, the Olds Grizzlys traded his rights to the Camrose Kodiaks for future considerations.

"Kirsten is a puck-moving defenceman who sees the entire ice well. He is a go od skater and is only 18 as well," said Boris.

He is a 1993 born player. Originally from Red Deer, he played 44 games for the Brooks Bandits last season where he collected two goals and seven assists as

a defenceman. He also played five games in the 2009-10 season with the Bandits.

In the third move of the day, the Camrose Kodiaks acquired defenceman Joshua Smith. The 1994 born player from Lacombe has played parts of the last two seasons with the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League. "His is also physical and can skate well. Josh is strong and can shoot. He is a good all-around defenceman," said Boris.

He played 31 games this year with one goal and five assists, while gaining 77 pen-

alty minutes. Last season Joshua played 44 games with four assists and 98 penalty minutes. He also played 10 games in the 200910 hockey season and added one assist and 21 penalty minutes.

"We have been hit hard with injuries to our defence. We have been playing short since October 30 and now they have some help," said Boris, on reasoning why he added three players who can play defence.

Now that the trade deadline has passed, the players can focus totally on playing winning hockey.

Two curling rinks added to Boston Pizza Cup provincials

By Murray Green The Peace County completed its men's playdowns for the two spots in the 2012 Alberta men’s curling championship in Camrose on January 8.

The Kurt Balderston team from Sexsmith and the Greg Hill rink from Grande Prairie emerged as the representatives from northern Alberta. "This is the 19th or 20th time he has been to provincials," said curling organizer Ken Duggan. "His first was as a skip in men's provincials back in 1986 when the Rose City Curling Club hosted the event. This is his 11th time in provincials as a men's skip."

Kurt was determined to return to Camrose this year. "He was here last year as a coach of the Desirae Owen team and he enjoyed it so much, he really wanted to come back," said Ken. His team consists of Les Sonnenberg, Del Shaughnessy and Rob Maksymetz. "He (Kurt) made it to the finals four times and hasn't won it yet," recalled Bob Seney, Boston Pizza Cup chair.

"I think he won provincials as a mixed team though."

Hill, who tends to throw lead rocks, has Brent Hamilton, Tom Sallows and Ken Coomer on his squad. Kevin Martin's team was the first rink to qualify by winning the championships last year. Since then, the Kevin Koe, Brock Virtue and Jamie King

Boston Pizza Cup men's curling provincial organizer Ken Duggan, left, chairman Bob Seney and Rose City Curling Club president Todd Lucas check the names on the championship trophy. Kevin Martin's rink has won the Cup the most often and he will be attempting to defend the title Feb. 8 to 12 in Camrose.

teams pre-qualified for the men’s curling provincials held in the EnCana Arena on Feb. 8 to 12.

"It's too bad R andy Ferbey won't be here because of the good rivalry between him and (Kevin) Martin. He didn't win his city qualifier," said Bob.

Tickets for daily and per draw events go on sale on January 25. They are available online at www.2012bostonpizzacup.com or they can be purchased at the Camrose Kodiaks' office from noon to 4 p.m. They do accept messages.

"We would prefer Camrose and area curling fans to purchase the tickets through the Kodiaks' office if they can to free up the online service for people farther away," said Ken. "We have had some problems with the online service. Hopefully, we can add an

upgrade to the system shortly. It said the event was sold out. That is not the case. Only the closing weekend package is sold out. We are about 50 p er cent sold out now. I think we will have a rush on tickets when the other teams are finalized on Jan. 22 and 23."

Job Finders Club matches skills with future careers

By Dan Jensen

Camrose and area residents have another option to help in their search for gainful employment.

The Camrose Job Finders Club offered by Business IQ Training with funding from the Government of Alberta is a three-week program that helps participants identify their skills, develop a resume and cover letter, complete job applications, prepare for job interviews and learn basic computer skills.

"Individuals come to the Job Finders Club from all walks of life," said Business IQ Training owner Lisa Rohr at the Jan. 4 m eeting of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce. "Some are retraining to enter a n ew industry, some are re-entering the workforce, such as maybe a stay-at-home mother who is wishing to return to work, and some have been off for various medical or other reasons. We also get a lot of individuals who come to us who are simply new to the community and are just not sure where to start looking for their career goals."

The Job Finders Club is free to anyone who is either unemployed or marginally employed.

Participants do not need to be currently receiving employment insurance or income support to qualify.

"At any given time we have between eight and ten participants in the program," said Rohr.

Many of the participants find employment before the end of the three weeks.

"Several are now happily involved in positions as office administrators, in retail management and sales, and in general labour positions, where many of them are working towards apprenticeship programs," stated Rohr.

In addition to teaching the most effective means of finding employment, the Camrose Job Finders Club provides optional courses in Microsoft Office, internet and computing core certification, accounting fundamentals, Workplace Hazardous Materials regulations, food safety, construction safety and Red Cross.

"Many individuals will find that they are having trouble finding employment because all the ads they are looking at are saying you need Quick Books experience or experience with Microsoft Word or first aid certification," said Rohr. "A lot of times they

will seek assistance from Alberta Works to come to our training centre and get their certifications."

The next Camrose Job Finders Club starts on February 6.

Experience Works

Unemployed and underemployed area residents who are between the ages of 55 a nd 64 are receiving help with their job search efforts through Experience Works, a program contracted by Alberta Works to Kopar Administration Ltd. Participants may be eligible to receive: classbased skill development – including job searching and career planning; limited funding to access training at specific local educational institutions or training agencies; access to job leads and opportunities of employers who are hiring; and one-on-one group assistance with job search skills.

Due to class size restrictions, all interested applicants undergo an interview with the Experience Works facilitator before starting the program.

More information about Experience Works may be obtained by calling Diane or Marlene at 780-672-1767.

Alberta Works brings the two sides together

By Dan Jensen

The Alberta Works (also known as Alberta Employment and Immigration) office in Camrose's Gemini Centre is in the business of bringing employers and employees together.

"Our goal is to help people find jobs," explained Alberta Works business and industry liaison Linda Cherry in a presentation to the membership of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Jan. 3.

Along with providing current career, workplace and labour market information, career planning, and assistance with job searches, Alberta Works assists adults with academic upgrading, language courses or the job skills training that they need to find and keep a job.

"We have people who come into our labour market information centre who may be on unemployment insurance, who may be under employed, or who may be marginally employed, or who are generally looking for work," said Cherry.

Alberta Works' exposure course program helps qualified individuals by providing the funding they need to obtain short term training that could stand in the way of them being able to obtain employment.

"It is a g rant, not a loan, so it doesn't have to be paid back," said Cherry.

"The job seeker can access that funding to improve the chances of finding a job."

Alberta Works also assist employers with finding the skilled labour they need.

"A lot of the services and resources we have available for employers are under utilized," said Cherry.

"I don't think many employers know what options are available to them."

One of the programs that has not had much exposure is the Disability Related Employment support program, for example, assists Camrose and area employers by providing funding for adaptive technology or wheelchair ramps.

"It means the employer can take on someone who has a d isability," said Cherry.

Alberta Works has partnered with the Camrose Chamber of Commerce several times over the past two years by providing workshops on topics ranging from employment standards and the rights and responsibilities of employers, to customer service and developing a se nse of trust in the workplace. Topics for the workshops were chosen based on a survey in which employers were asked what kind of professional development opportunities they would like to see.

"Ideally they are to be employee driven," said Cherry, "so if you are experiencing any kind of challenges that you can share with me we may be able to find solutions or some kind of programming or workshops. The more information I h ave on the local level the better I can advocate for services that are appropriate for the businesses in the city."

Looking at the current labour market, Cherry said there

20

are more jobs available than there are employees to fill them.

"The unemployment rate in the Camrose area in November was four per cent. Five per cent is considered a balanced market, meaning that there is enough of a supply of workers to fill the demand, so four per cent means that we are going to be experiencing a shortage of workers. Some industries may already be experiencing that. People may be leaving and moving onto other jobs or you may be having difficulty finding skilled workers. I k now we have a shortage of welders in Camrose as well as truck drivers.

We have a fairly good turnover in our retail and service sector, but sometimes that is just the nature of the game. Sometimes there are things that employers can do to keep their employees that are not just about money."

As the go-between between industry and business, Cherry said she has been challenged to think outside the box.

"Right now the climate is really good with our department for doing something creative, doing something new. There is a whole pool of labour that is not being tapped into and there is a lot of emphasis in our department on developing those underrepresented groups. That includes aboriginal peoples and it includes aging workers."

In loving memory of

How do I say t hank you to the so very many friends and family members who have come alongside me to help me through this incredible journey of grief in losing my soulmate and the love of my life – my husband, Neil Hansen.

Words just don’t seem adequate, and I struggle to even k now where to begin. Just know that while this paper has neither enough ink nor space for me to name everyone, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and deepest appreciation for all of you.

Though the days following it are a blur, the morning of Neil’s passing will be etched in my heart and mind forevermore, as will the following people who I feel I must give a special thank you.

From the bottom of my heart, I say “thank you” to: Ron and Vivian Grue for coming over the “moment” I needed you.

Rick and Valerie Larter for coming over the “moment” I needed you.

And to all four of you for being with me as I hugged Neil one last time.

To the ambulance attendants and Cst. T. A. Cleveland (RCMP) as well as Burgar Funeral Home who were so gracious and patient with me as I continued lying in bed holding my husband.

To Pastor Jason Siemens for appearing at my door in the blink of an eye.

To Jeremy Osterwalder and Pastor Mark for bringing out communion and sharing fellowship that afternoon.

To Brenda (from Atlanta, Georgia) who arrived just when I needed her.

To Alex and Trina for picking Brenda up.

To my son Jason and daughter-in-law Kelsey for picking up my Mom from the airport and for just being there.

To my Mom for still being here for me.

To my god-daughter Melanie for bringing me her son Eliv to hold.

To Wallace Lehman who showed up with Tim’s coffee for me and Neil, having no idea what had just happened.

To Ted and Louise Gillespie and our neighbours who really aren’t neighbours, but wonderful friends.

I’d also like to say a special ‘thank you’: To Rhodelle Taylor and Karen Jans (chemo clinic) who treated Neil and blessed us both with hugs each time we were there, as well as Janice Throndson and our special angel Celine Tritten (heart clinic).

To Kimberley for your thoughtfulness and especially the video picture frame.

To Roxy for 35 years of friendship and support.

To all of you beautiful people who blessed me with baking, meals, flowers, cards, phone calls, emails, gifts, and most especially love.

To A-1 Catering and The Lefse House as well as our Aguanga Family in California.

To Rick Larter, David Hagen and Lowell Befus for being “Brothers in Arms” with Neil.

To my beautiful stepdaughters, Lori and Cathy, who truly are ‘daughters’ to me. I t hank you both for all of your help while you were and are in the midst of your own grief.

And last but not least, thank you to our wonderful church family at C hrist Centered Fellowship Church.

Neil was a wonderful man that I thanked God for daily. I was so proud to be his wife. Our marriage became a true blessing from God when, on our eighth anniversary, we both invited Jesus Christ in to be the center of our lives and were baptized.

Several months later, on the eve of the new millennium, I tried to articulate what I wanted for our new Christ-centered relationship in this prayer for Neil. I tried with all my heart to be a good wife and, in return, God granted me an incredible marriage with an incredible husband.

Another answered prayer for which there is only One to thank – Je sus Christ, our Lord and Savior. If you don’t have Jesus at the center of your life, invite Him in today. If you don’t have Him at the center of your marriage, invite Him. It makes ALL the difference in the world.

“Lord, help me t o be a g ood wife. I f ully realize that I do n’t have w hat it takes to be one without Your help. Take my selfishness, impatience, and irritability and turn them into kindness and the willingness to bear all things. Take away my protective stance and make me patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle and self-controlled. Take the hardness of my heart and break down the walls with Your battering ram of revelation. Give me a new heart and work in me Your love, peace and joy.

“Show me where there is sin in my heart, especially with regard to my husband. I confess the times I’ve been unloving, critical or disrespectful toward him. Make me my husband’s helpmate, companion, champion, friend and support. Help me to create a peaceful, restful, safe place for him to come home to. Make me the kind of wife he can be proud to say is his wife.

“Teach me to pray for my husband and make my prayers a true language of love. Bring unity between us so that we can be in agreement about everything. May the God of patience and comfort grant us to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus. Make us a team, not pursuing separate or independent lives, but working together, overlooking each others’ faults and weaknesses for the good of the marriage.

“I pray that our commitment to You and to one another will grow stronger and more passionate each day. Enable Neil to be the head of the home as You made him to be, and show me how to support and respect him as he rises to that place of leadership. Breathe Your life into this marriage. As this is a New Year, make me a new person. Help me to see him with new eyes, new appreciation, new love, new compassion, and new acceptance. Give my husband a new wife in me.

“Thank you, God, for Neil. I love him with a love that brings me to my knees. I look forward to the new millennium, to the rest of my life with him. Amen” Neil and I ha d a wo nderful life together. Thank you, Jesus, for walking with me a nd sending angels disguised as friends during this time of great grief. But, most of all, thank you for the hope we have in You; for I know that I will one day see my precious Neil again and we shall both fall to our knees in praise of You. Thank you for Neil … past, present and future.

– Denny Hansen (a.k.a. Neil’s Shnooky)

Great starter home with new flooring

BATTLE RIVER CREDIT UNION 11 branches to serve you

SURPRISE SOMEONE! Recognize a special occasion with an ad on this page!

By Murray Green

Are you tired of paying rent and having nothing to show for your hard earned money? Then it's time to own your home! But you may want to hurry. This great starter home is priced for a quick possession.

In a go od location close to parks and schools, attractive and clean, the 1,035 square foot bi-level has been upgraded with brand new flooring on the main level.

With three bedrooms, the home offers a spacious floor plan and even has room to expand as your family grows.

Sit back a nd enjoy the comfortable large living room that overlooks the well-landscaped front yard and it leads to the good-sized dining area that features sliding patio doors to the enclosed deck. It also joins with the fully functional open kitchen that has a b reakfast eating bar

for fast meals. Mom will be sure to love the extra cupboard space.

Instead of fighting for space, it's time to have separate his and her closets. The master bedroom allows for easy access to closet room.

A second fair-sized bedroom with a good closet and a recently upgraded main bathroom finish the first level. Upgrades include a new toilet, paint, counter top and flooring.

Basement development features one completed bedroom.

However, the potential is t here for a beautiful basement. With a little work, the lower level easily could be turned into a fa ntastic four-bedroom home with an additional bathroom. The rest of the basement has been framed in recently with new insulation and vapor barrier. By the time your handy man is d one, you could have a spacious living room and

Matthew Mayer a laundry room, as well as additional storage space.

The spacious backyard starts with an enclosed and covered deck where you can say no to those pesky mosquitoes. The yard is fenced to keep young children safe, and features mature trees, a double garage and potential space for RV parking.

Included with the purchase are the fridge, stove, built-in dishwasher, washer, dryer, ceiling fan, and garage door opener with a control.

This impressive 3820-65 Street home is attractively priced to sell at $226,000. An open house for your viewing will be held on January 21 from 2 to 4 p.m. If you miss the open house contact Matthew Mayer at: Central Agencies Inc. 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 or 780-781-7088 cell

Robbie Burns supper planned at Bailey Submitted In Scotland, he is simply known as The Bard. But to most of us he is Robbie Burns. And every January 25 his birthday is celebrated around the world

by Scots and would-be Scots.

In Camrose, the Burns Supper, to honour Robbie Burns and celebrate his prose and poetry, is being hosted by the Camrose Adult Learning Council (CALC) as a f undraiser for literacy programs.

The Robbie Burns Supper will be held Wednesday, January 25, at the historic Bailey Theatre, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and dinner beginning at 7:00. And while haggis is the traditional Scottish dish served, there is more on the menu for those who want to observe the piping in of the haggis, and the "Address to the Haggis" but not participate in its eating.

Catered by The Lefse House, the menu includes roast beef, pork loin and chutney, tatties and neeps, with bread pudding and caramel for dessert.

There will be an opportunity to taste a variety of Scotches, and to enter several raffle draws. The evening includes live entertainment and read-

ings from works by Robbie Burns.

CALC offers several learning to read p rograms for both children and adults. With the help of Public Health, new books are delivered to newborns when they are four months old. About 200 of the Books for Babies bags are distributed each year. New board books are also given to expectant mothers at pre-natal classes, and new children's books are distributed with the Christmas hampers in Camrose.

For adults, the program matches trained tutors and students. The program extends beyond reading and writing, to extracting and analyzing information, to solve problems in different settings such as school, advanced education, work and in the community. CALC also works with employers to improve literacy in the workplace.

Tickets for the Robbie Burns Supper are available at the Bailey Theatre. For more information, please contact either Sharilyn Cook at 780672-1820 or Janice DePaoli at 780-672-0665.

Explore jazz sounds at Augustana

By Charlene Brown

Jazz. How do you define it? It was originated in the early 20th century in the southern United States in African American communities. It was born out of the marriage of African and European music traditions. But can you really define it? Jazz is d ifferent things to different people.

To some, it’s a great horn section in a b ig band. To others a c reative scat. Some think of jazz as smooth and relaxing, while others want to get up and dance.

On Friday, January 20, a t 8 p.m. in the Augustana Chapel, explore jazz with a g roup of friends who just like to get together and lay down some cool sounds. Maybe that’s what Jazz is? Sharing their music with you that evening will be Joel Gray on trumpet, Tova Olson on piano, Alex Lacusta on bass and Lucas Brown on drums. Br inging the vocals will be Charlene Brown and the members of Blue Thistle, Cathie Johnson, Deanna Didriksen, Michelle Kennedy Hawkins

and, which also includes Tova Olson. Together they will play through some of the sounds jazz is. Along the way, they may even share some quotes of what jazz is or has meant to various artists and celebrities. With their sound or words maybe they will hit on your definition of what jazz is.

Tickets will be sold at the door and cost $12 for adults, $8 for students and seniors, and under five free. The event is hosted by the Augustana Music Department.

City Center Camrose has concerns over cash flow

By Murray Green

The City Center Camrose is a Business Revitalization Zone that was established by both the city and the province.

Through the budget process, the city transfers all of the funds that are approved by council during the City Center Camrose (CCC) budget approval process.

"Council allows for some noncollection administration costs involved in raising the required funds and the giving of any notices required by the bylaw," said

city manager Damian Herle. "We confirmed with CCC that their forthcoming budget includes this estimate."

CCC identified delinquent accounts to the city, and the administration will pursue the delinquent accounts. "The CCC will still receive the allotted amount, the city will handle the collections of the delinquent accounts or make up the shortfall in the budgeted amount," added Damian.

CCC president Dan Olofson

and manager Carole-May Coty expressed concerns over the delinquent accounts, as well as the fact they wait four months for funding. "There doesn't seem to be any consequences if the businesses don't pay their taxes," said Dan. "We have a gap between when we get approval of our budget and the transfer of funds."

Carole-May said that the CCC fiscal year is January to December. " We virtually don't receive the funds until April.

I'm not sure how to operate from January to April until we receive funding in that four month gap."

Councillor John Howard said the CCC has three major concerns. "Delinquent accounts, who pays for the collection, and the third one is t iming of the payments." He said they can all three be easily resolved.

"I think the city does have consequences in place and we can address some of them. It can minimize the situation. The

amount is small compared to the overall budget. We transfer the funds to the CCC as they come in, about three times a y ear. It could be done in one lump sum," said Damian. "It is c ertainly an option as soon as it is approved by the board."

The city agreed to meet the shortfall in collections for the CCC, but will take action on attempting to collect the fees to reimburse the city. They also asked CCC for recommendations on payment methods.

Novice teams celebrate Minor Hockey Week

Dodge Ram Heavy Duty More power than ever before

By Dan Jensen

The 2012 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty trucks at Camrose Chrysler offer more power and towing ability than ever before.

The Ram 6.7 litre Cummins High Output Turbo Diesel automatic produces 350 horsepower at 3,000 rpm and an unsurpassed 800 lb.-ft. of torque at only 1,500 rpm while meeting the most stringent emission requirements.

The most durable and reliable engine in its class, the 6.7 litre Cummins Turbo Diesel features standard oil-change intervals of 10,000 km.

Backing up the 6.7 litre diesel is the choice of a standard, class-exclusive G56 six-speed manual transmission, or an available six-speed automatic transmission. The six-speed manual has an ultra-low first gear ratio, which makes it ideal for heavy-hauling requirements, while the six-speed automatic offers ease of driveability and towing.

The standard 5.7 litre HEMI V-8 delivers 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 400 lb.-ft. of torque, and features variable-valve timing for greater fuel efficiency and performance.

The 5.7 litre HEMI comes standard with a new heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission.

A Max Tow package option on the Ram 3500 provides a maximum towing weight of 22,750 lbs.

"Ram Heavy Duty truck owners need pulling power – 79 per cent of them rate towing as extremely important," said Fred Diaz, president and CEO, Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico – Chrysler Group LLC. "Reliability and engine performance are tied for second – named as extremely important by 73 per cent of owners. The 800 lb.-ft. of torque combined with Ram Truck's unsurpassed five-year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty and Cummins' proven reputation for reliability – are a direct response to our customers' high expectations. We stand behind our commitment to build great trucks with bestin-class capabilities."

Two 4x4 transfer cases are available: the NV271, a manual unit standard on ST and Power Wagon models, and the NV273, an electric shift-on-the-fly transfer cases, standard on remaining models.

Fully boxed frame The backbone of the 2012 Ram Heavy Duty pickup is a hydro-formed fully boxed frame with torsional rigidity and stiffness. A c oil-spring suspension setup is u sed in the front of the vehicle, while the multi-leaf spring design is maintained in the rear for heavy-duty capability. Front and rear shocks and springs are tuned for optimum ride quality and capability. Suspension upgrades and larger front-axle U-joints, combined with increased front gross axle weight rating, result in increased front-weight carrying capability – a must for larger snowplows.

Standard exhaust brake (diesel equipped models) reduces brake fade, prolongs brake life and provides confidence and safety when hauling heavy loads on downhill grades. SLT, Outdoorsman, Power Wagon and Laramie and Laramie Longhorn models feature a s tandard integrated trailer brake control to provide better driver control in towing situations. Trailer brake control information is

Cargo versatility The RamB ox Cargo Management System is now available on all 2500/3500 pickups with 6 foot four inch beds. These drainable and lockable side bed compartments are large enough to house everything from your favourite canned beverages to the tools of your trade. The Ram Mega Cab boasts the most interior volume of any truck in its class, giving you enough space to haul large boxes or your passengers the opportunity to stretch out. conveniently displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Centre, which is standard on all models.

In addition, Ram HDs feature Electronic Range Select, which enables the driver to manually limit the highest available transmission gear, allowing manual upshifts and downshifts based on road speed and engine speed. A tow/ haul mode switch enhances tow capability while towing.

Other tow-friendly features include trailer-tow mirrors with integrated turn signals, memory function and puddle lamps. The 7-inch by 11-inch trailer-tow mirrors offer impressive visibility with larger convex glass surfaces.

Design Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickups incorporate some of the design cues from the Ram 1500. However, the Ram Heavy Duty pickup's larger grille incorporates a taller hood that includes louvres on each side. Access to the front winch (on Power Wagon models) and tow hooks lead to a unique front-bumper design. The new dual-rear-wheel fenders (3500 dually only) are integrated into the box stamping and offer a smooth aerodynamic appearance.

Redefined interior New for the 2012 Dodge Ram Longhorn 2500 that has Dodge truck fans excited is the redefined interior that now has enhanced technology as standard features. Ram

Longhorn interior standard features set up all passengers with comfort and fun, such as multimedia, navigation with a large illuminated touchscreen mounted in the front centre console, and with a Rearview Parking camera. The multimedia setup is extremely appreciated by Dodge Ram Darren Nichols passengers, as they have Camrose Chrysler access to state of the art entertainment like the rear DVD movie player.

The 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 has comfortable leather seats equipped with a heating-cooling system.

Safety Ram Heavy Duty trucks offer several standard safety features.

An anti-lock brake system senses and prevents wheel lockup and offers improved steering control under extreme braking or slippery conditions.

Advanced multi-stage airbags use either an occupant classification system or a low-risk deployment air bag for the front passenger.

Electronic stability control enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability under all conditions. It provides the greatest benefit in critical driving situations such as turns, and is especially valuable when driving on mixed surface conditions, including snow, ice or gravel. If there is a d iscernable difference between what the driver directs through the steering wheel and the vehicle's path, ESC applies selective braking and throttle input in order to put the vehicle back o nto the driver's intended path.

You can see the 2012 Dodge Ram Heavy Duty at Camrose Chrysler, on Highway 13 East.

The Ole Uffda Loppet classic technique ski race is sc heduled for Saturday, January 21. This year, the race is being held in conjunction with the club’s 100 year anniversary.

Prior to the race the Loppet committee is hoping to capture a picture of the racers, as well as all current and former members of the club. The public is encouraged to enjoy a c offee and a m uffin, and cheer on the skiers as they set out on the trails.

The local ski club is one of the oldest in Canada. It was founded

by Scandinavian immigrants in 1911 as the “Fram Ski Club”.

Some of the earliest members were the Engebretson brothers, P. Mikkleson, Adolph Maland and Lars Maland. Ski jumping was the main attraction with as many as 3,000 spectators regularly attending to watch the "daring Norwegian flyers." The name was changed to the Camrose Ski Club in 1920, and the original ski jump collapsed over the summer of 1926. After that, more and more people began to get involved with Nordic cross-country skiing.

The Loppet originated in 1977 under the name “Camrose Cross-Country Ski Gallop,” and then eventually adopted the name still used today, the Ole Uffda Loppet. “We want to encourage everyone to participate in the annual Ole Uffda Loppet, either as a racer, a volunteer, or a spectator,” said Graeme Thain, one of the organizers. “The Loppet is a cla ssic technique race for the whole family with a distance for every age and ability. Our trails can be challenging, but the Loppet committee is creating a course that a novice can ski and yet will be challenging to all.”

Some of the skiers in the province enter the Ole Uffda to prepare for the Birkebeiner. “After skiing 30 km on our course you will feel ready to take on 55 km at the Birkie.”

The race features a 1.25 km Bunny Hop (ages 3-5), a 2 .5 km Jackrabbit Jump (ages 6-9), a 5 km Track Attack (ages 10-13), as well as 5 km, 10 km, 15 km and 30 km open races.

The 15 and 30 km races will have a mass start at the stadium in front of the Stoney Creek Centre at 11 a.m., followed shortly after by the Bunnies and the Jackrabbits at 11:01 a.m. The five and 10 km races will start at 11:30 a.m.

Registration can be done online at www.zone4.ca. If you register online using zone4, you will be entered into a d raw to win a pair of Oakley sun glasses, courtesy of Dr. Mark Cloarec.

There will also be on-site registration on race day from 8:30 to 10:45 a.m.

Entry fee includes hot lunch provided by East Side Mario's.

There will also be snacks and drinks after the race, as well as on-course feed stations.

Jackie Rae has a new hero By now you probably know that Jackie Rae (J.R.) from CFCW is the Celebrity Apprentice at The Auto Shoppe in Camrose. She’s in the second year of her special apprenticeship program.

Richard Mattis is also in the second year of his apprenticeship. He’s going to be a Journeyman Autobody Technician. J.R. is holding a plunger in the photo at right (we’re not really sure why), while Richard is holding the silver medal he won at the Alberta Skills Competition in Autobody Repair. Richard was selected to compete in the event by the Alberta Apprenticeship Board, which is why he’s J.R.’s hero. He’s someone she can emulate, someone to look up to, someone who could teach her something and maybe convince her that a plunger isn’t really useful in an autobody shop.

Congratulations to Richard, the latest Auto Shoppe employee (hero) to be recognized for his outstanding skills and talent at a provincial or national level.

the last day are at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m."

Camrose will be icing a local team in the event. The foursome of Bob Seney, Reg Enright, Roger Galenza and Herb Zmurchuk are representing the local zone.

Herb is from Edmonton, but he

was asked to join the team to enter the master's category, as well as the senior division.

"We are going to have a $2 admission per draw and the proceeds will go towards our junior curling program," said Todd.

"We still have playdowns for senior men's and men's, the rest of the divisions don't need them anymore because the number of teams have dropped off drastically," said Ken Duggan, organizer for the Boston Pizza Cup men's provincials.

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday 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 color 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.

CPR can save lives Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a life-saving method that has prevented the deaths of scores of individuals throughout the centuries. CPR is o ften used to keep a person alive until more in-depth medical attention can be provided. It's an essential skill to know and can be a l ifesaver for people of all ages.

Effective bystander CPR, provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest, can double or triple a victim's chance of survival. Despite these statistics, less than one-third of out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrest victims receive bystander CPR. It could be because many people still do not know how to perform it.

CPR has been around since 1740, when the Paris Academy of Sciences officially recommended mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for drowning victims. In 1891, Dr. Friedrich Maass performed the first documented chest compression in humans. Roughly 10 years later, successful chest compressions were used in human resuscitation.

In the 1950s, it was determined that exhaled air was enough to provide oxygenation of another person. Peter Safar and James Elan, thusly, invented mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

In 1960, the Red Cross officially adopted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and began to teach the public the techniques.

The ability to do CPR is n ot based on age but rather body strength. Studies have shown that children as young as nine years old can learn and retain CPR skills. It's important to keep in mind that while CPR can keep a person alive, Automated External Defibrillator (AED) devices are needed to restore a n atural heart rhythm to an individual who has suffered from cardiac arrest. Unless resuscitation is provided within minutes of collapse, an individual can rarely be saved.

CPR training courses are provided for individuals at many places. Some hospitals even offer CPR training to new parents.

Check with a h ospital, medical provider or police station on where CPR can be learned.

Performing CPR

For those who want to know the basics of CPR, follow these guidelines.

Think ABC – airway, breathing and circulation – t o remember the steps explained below.

Move quickly through airway and breathing to begin chest compressions.

1. Put the person on his or her back on a firm surface.

2. Kneel next to the person's neck and shoulders.

3. Open the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway.

4. Check for normal breathing, taking no more than five or 10 seconds. Look for chest motion, listen for normal breath sounds and feel for the person's breath on your

cheek and ear. Gasping is not considered to be normal breathing. If the person isn't breathing normally and you are trained in CPR, begin mouth-to-mouth breathing.

If you believe the person is unconscious from a heart attack and you haven't been trained in emergency procedures, skip mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing and proceed directly to chest compressions.

Breathe

Rescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose breathing if the mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened.

1. With the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver), pinch the nostrils shut for mouthto-mouth breathing and cover the person's mouth with yours, making a seal.

2. Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath – lasting one second – and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give the second breath.

If the chest does not rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath.

3. Begin chest compressions to restore circulation.

Restore blood circulation

1. Place the heel of one hand over the centre of the person's chest, between the nipples. Place your other hand on top of the first hand. Keep your elbows straight and position your shoulders directly above your hands.

2. Use your upper body weight (not just your arms) as you push straight down on (compress) the chest 2 inches (approximately 5 centimeters). Push hard at a rate of 100 compressions a minute.

3. After 30 compressions, tilt the head back a nd lift the chin up to open the airway. Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Pinch the nose shut and breathe into the mouth for one second. If the chest rises, give a second rescue breath.

If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second rescue breath. That's one cycle. If someone else is available, ask that person to give two breaths after you do 30 compressions. If you're not trained in CPR and feel comfortable performing only chest compressions, skip rescue breathing and continue chest compressions at a ra te of 100 compressions a minute until medical personnel arrive.

4. If the person has not begun moving after five cycles (about two minutes) and an automatic external defibrillator (AED) is available, apply it and follow the prompts. Administer one shock, then resume CPR – starting with chest compressions – for two more minutes before administering a second shock. If you're not trained to use an AED, a 9 11 operator may be able to guide you in its use.

Use pediatric pads, if available, for children ages one to eight. Do not use an AED for babies younger than age one. If an AED isn't available, go to step 5 below.

5. Continue CPR u ntil there are signs of movement or until emergency medical personnel take over.

Your Calling is at

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks blanked the Calgary Canucks 7-0 as they prepare for the last month and a h alf of the Alberta Junior Hockey League season.

Nelson Gaboury led the charge with two goals and an assist in the first three Camrose tallies. After a fairly even first period, the Kodiaks broke the game open with four goals in the second (including one from Gaboury) and then added two more in the last frame. "Right now, we just have to keep building with each game," said defenceman Jonathan Lashyn. "We are getting a lot of guys back from injuries, which is good.

Now it's a matter of playing our best hockey of the year as the playoffs approach."

Landon Kadatz, Matt Waseylenko and Cody Pongracz netted markers in the second. Adam deChamplain and Sam Jardine garnered the goals in the third when they outshot Calgary 18-4. Goalie Brayden Hopfe stopped all 24 shots he faced. The Canucks used two netminders that stopped 35 of 42 shots. "We had a few more bounces go our way and it's fun. The hands became a little looser around the sticks and then did what came natural to us," said Jonathan. "It was fun to take it (frustrations) out on the Canucks. Right now, the focus is to finish as high as we can to gain home ice in the playoffs for as long as possible. Fort McMurray, Spruce Grove and Brooks are all playing well and we have to make sure when we play them, that we give it 110 per cent, so we know we can play with them. Win or lose, we have to make them pay the price."

Camrose played well against t he Okotoks Oilers, but lost in a shootout on January 6. The Kodiaks scored first on a power play that was finished by Jardine. Okotoks scored just over three minutes later in the first period to tie it up.

Luc Vandale gave the Kodiaks the lead in the second that stood up until the Oilers netted the equalizer mid-way in the third. After a scoreless overtime, Okotoks won on the third shoot- out attempt. Goalie Matt Gibney stopped 29 of 31 shots to give the Kodiaks a point on the night.

"We had our opportunities and it is just a matter of bearing down when we need to," added Jonathan. "We can score and it will come. I believe in our team and we have confidence in each other."

The holiday break came at a good time for the Kodiaks. "Everybody is coming back now, or is very close to coming back," added Jonathan.

"Trade deadline is today (January 10), so players are nervous. The coach has a job to do and if he thinks we need help, then he will do what is best for the team. He might be looking at a defenceman because we still are short. I think we have the team to win it. However, if we lose defencemen in the playoffs, it can make it really tough for us. We can still play with five or with different players. It is our job to work out those wrinkles."

After a ga me in Calgary against the Canucks on Jan. 18, the Kodiaks host the Olds Grizzlys on Jan. 20 at 7:30 p.m. Camrose visits Spruce Grove on Jan. 21, and then heads to Okotoks on Jan. 24 and closes out the road trip with a stop in Olds on Jan. 27. The Kodiaks wrap up the month with a home game against the Calgary Mustangs on Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Edgeworth Centre.

Killam Health Centre is looking for: Registered Nurse/ Registered Psychiatric Nurse RN/RPN will demonstrate the ability to provide leadership, will work closely with an interdisciplinary team, and possess critical thinking and problem solving skills.
