Choosing the perfect grad dress is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many students.

Due to lack of finances, it’s also not realistic for many graduating students. A few years ago, Laura Swanson, principal of Camrose Outreach School, launched an initiative that secured grad dresses for a few students who simply couldn’t afford the cost of buying a beautiful dress for their grad ceremony. Tish’s Fashions & Finery was instrumental in generously providing not only the first batch of dresses, but also a dedicated area of the Main Street store for storage and fittings.

Soon, many more gently used dresses were donated and the Princess Project was going strong.

Gowns are being offered specifically to students who need them due to financial hardship. Often, school staff refers students who are truly in need and deserving. The student must then make an appointment with Mrs. Swanson for the selection and fitting process. Laura encourages the grads to bring their mother or a friend for what may be a once-in-a-lifetime, joyful experience.

Princess Project in Camrose has addressed a huge need of this community and well beyond. However, having a permanent space for dress storage and a temporary (or longer) location for fittings has become a significant concern. Duggan Mall has been very accommodating in helping Mrs. Swanson over recent months with storage space.

Mall tenant Emerald Modelling & Personal Development has stepped in for dress storage for a few weeks when the Mall leased out the space that had been used previously. However, an appropriate fitting location in advance of this grad season remains front and centre.

For more information on the Princess Project, send an email to Laura at princessprojectcamrose@gmail.com

UCP hosts breakfast series

By Murray Green

After Jackie Lovely was named the United Conservative Party candidate for the new electoral district of Camrose in the next provincial election, she has been touring the area on a fundraising breakfast series of meet and greets.

In Camrose, retiring Battle River-Wainwright MLA Wes Taylor was the guest speaker on Feb. 23.

“It’s been an honour to serve and be part of history and government. I looked around the Legislature and wondered how I got there.

Then I looked across (at NDP MLAs) and wondered how did they get here,” Taylor laughed. “It has been an interesting four years. I won’t be running again because of health reasons.” (He had heart surgery.)

“People are here today because they want to see change. Most people agree that we want a responsible government. I’ve seen jobs lost to the United States and Saskatchewan. They (businesses and workers) are leaving Alberta. Oil companies are pulling up ship and leaving,” added Taylor.

He explained the cost of dinner. “Ten people eat and the cost is $100 each day. If the bill was paid the same way we pay taxes, the first four eat for free. The fifth would pay $1, sixth would pay $3, seventh $7, eighth would pay $12, ninth $18 and the 10th, the richest, would pay $59,” explained Taylor.

“Although the bill wasn’t shared equally, they all

seemed content until the restaurant owner threw them a curve. He said they were good customers, so he was going to reduce the cost by $20. The 10 men were surprised and happy about the news. Now how were they going to share the savings? The first four didn’t care because they didn’t pay anything. The other six real-

Jackie Lovely

ized that $20 split by six was $3.33. However, then the fifth and sixth man would be paid to eat their meals. The owner then suggested that the bill should be lowered by a percentage,” Taylor continued.

“The result was the fifth man paid nothing, the sixth paid $2, seventh paid $5, eighth paid $9, ninth paid $14 and the 10th paid $50.

Outside the restaurant, the men began to compare the savings. The fifth man said to the 10th that he only received $1 out of the $20 and that he got $9. It’s not fair he received nine times more than me.

The four men who paid nothing said they didn’t get anything, the system exploits the poor. The nine men assaulted the 10th and then he didn’t

show up at all the next day.

So, they ate without him.

When it came time to pay the bill, they were $50 short.

The moral of the story is that the people who pay the most should receive the tax cuts.

If you overtax the rich, they may not show up for dinner next time. After all, there are plenty of good restaurants around the world. That is what I feel is happening in our province. Those who were paying the taxes are leaving.

We need a system where we don’t overburden companies because they are mobile. It has been shown that they will leave the province. With taxes and regulations, we have seen more businesses leave the province,” said Taylor.

He explained that some regulations take two years to complete in Alberta, whereas in Saskatchewan, it takes two months and in Texas, it takes two days.

The message is finally being heard around the province. “We have seen a real shift in the last few weeks.

Those people who were sitting on the fence before are now indicating they are going to vote for us. That shift is a result of the positive message from our leader,” said Jackie.

Kenney visit

UCP Leader Jason Kenney will be joining Lovely at a local fundraising event on Monday, March 25, at the Norsemen Inn in Camrose.

Kenney will speak about his thoughts on what people can do to help get Alberta back on track.

Worse than smoking, or air pollution?

This quote in the March 2019 issue of Maclean’s stunned me: “Being lonely is comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and worse for your health than physical inactivity or air pollution.”

Really? Who knew?

Apparently, a lot of people did. When I prowled around online to find out more, I discovered a “loneliness and health” conversation has been going on since at least 2015.

But first, what do we mean by ‘loneliness’?

Loneliness is…not the same as being alone.

In a Psychology Today article, Dr. Guy Winch said, “Before getting into the specifics, we need to have a clear understanding of what loneliness is, and what it isn’t: Loneliness is defined subjectively, not objectively. In other words, what matters is not how many friends you have or how many people you have around you on a daily basis. Rather, what matters is whether you feel emotionally or socially disconnected from others.”

As I thought about loneliness, I realized that some of the loneliest moments of my life have been when I was with other people. Two situations come to mind.

I’ve felt intensely lonely when I was with a group of people and believed I didn’t fit. I was sure that if I spoke about things that matter to me, nobody would “get it.”

Worse, I might be ridiculed or face disapproval. I’ve also felt intensely lonely when I was with someone I cared about deeply, but there was such a chasm between us that we couldn’t connect. How can feeling lonely affect us?

Okay, so loneliness is a subjective feeling, not something like heart rate that you can measure with a machine.

What can be measured is some of the impact of feeling lonely. A 2015 study about loneliness was led by Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad of Brigham Young University in Utah.

Her report was based on 70 papers that followed 3.4 million participants for an average of seven years.

Seems like a decent sample. She found that people classed as lonely had a 26 per cent higher risk of dying early. Smaller studies have found connections between loneliness and isolation, and a range of health problems.

The list includes pretty much most health problems you can think of: heart attacks, strokes, cancers, eating disorders, drug abuse, sleep deprivation, depression, alcoholism and anxiety. Some research suggests that lonely people are more likely to suffer from cognitive decline and a quicker progress of Alzheimer’s disease.

I was expecting things like depression or anxiety. Until now, I’ve never made a connection between loneliness and early death, heart disease or cancer.

In 2017, the American Psychological Association called loneliness “a public health threat.” Last year a former surgeon-general of the United States called loneliness an “epidemic.” He declared the impact of loneliness on health was as great as the impact of obesity or smoking 15 cigarettes per day. (Ah. So that’s the source of the startling quote that caught my attention).

More people are lonely because…? Besides American research, studies in the UK, Australia, Japan and Western and Eastern Europe have also reported increases in loneliness. Dr. Holt-Lunstad of Utah suggests that several factors contribute to the increase: Decline of social networks since 1985; Lack of diversity in social networks; Smaller household size; Increase by 10 per cent in people living alone. I didn’t see any research specifically related to Canada, but I’m guessing some of our patterns are similar because those social changes are happening here too.

Repeat history

We often hear the mantra that those who don’t learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it.

One of today’s major problems is the well-known gap between the rich and the poor. This has happened over and over in human history, and is always accompanied by dire consequences.

It appears to me that we are in one of those periods. Our privileged classes show no signs of trying to redress the balance. Most of our citizens have accepted the propaganda that the rich somehow benefit us all, and if we were worthy and hardworking we too could become wealthy.

We are bombarded by the lie that taxing the rich more would harm our economy. History shows this is not true. For example, take the period from the crash of 1929 to the 1960s. The ‘20s were booming, but this led to ridiculous speculation, like the period 2000 to 2008, when the economy crashed again. The governments of the time brought in severe austerity leading to an unemployment rate of 25 per cent or more. Governments refused to borrow to help their citizens because that would unbalance the budget. Yet just a few years later the US government borrowed over $3 trillion to fund Second World War and then had money to fund the Marshall Plan that rebuilt Europe and Japan. After the war we

had about a 25 year period of general prosperity before the wealthy, claiming danger from Communism and Socialism, started their attacks on the middle and lower classes by getting control of our governments.

Our governments passed laws enabling the rich to get even richer by allowing them to create the world we now live in. A polluted world, a world facing the existential threat from global warming, and a world where the middle classes are being gutted.

This could not have happened if our democratic governments (so called) really represented the whole people. They have been able to pretend to govern in the best interests of the people, convincing many to vote against their own interest by raising the boogyman of socialism and communism. Look at the facts.

Russian communism was defeated (although it was a tyranny not communist).

Look at the Scandinavian countries who many call socialists. They are among the happiest, wealthiest, highest taxed countries in the world. Think.

Harry Gaede, Camrose SNC Lavalin

I am very tired of hearing and reading about the so called scandal of the SNC Lavalin affair.

The former Minister of Justice and Attorney General says she was pressured. The opposition and media keep harping on this

subject without stating the truth.

Officials in the Prime Ministers’s office the Privy Council office and the Minister of Finance’s office all did their duty to bring to the attention of the AG the economic effects of her decision. She apparently feels that when she made a decision based not on fact, but her whims and prejudices, any bringing up facts was improper pressure. Since when is saying jobs and the possible loss of jobs is important, improper?

Yapping about political considerations being involved is a joke. Of course all decisions of the government are political. Is this yapping of the opposition not political? In a democracy how the people judge a situation is important.

Hence all decisions of the government are political.

The Cabinet, as the centre of government, must be a team not 30 individuals each acting on his/her own.

The other Cabinet ministers must have greeted the resignation of Jody Wilson Raybough with cheers.

Dealing with the self centred, self righteous individual must have been a constant pain.

The mistake the Prime Minister made was to appoint her to the Cabinet in 2015. Now she is out of Cabinet, lets move on and deal with real issues.

Ron Williams, Camrose

***

Loneliness as a public health issue? There’s hope. It’s preventable and it can be changed. One of the studies mentioned by the American Psychology Association found that having stronger and deeper social connections was associated with a 50 per cent drop in risk of early death.

So, if you know someone you think might be lonely, reach out. If you feel lonely, do your best (even if it’s hard) to reach out to at least one other person. It could be a life-saver. ***

In celebration of the Year of the Grouse 2019 Battle River Lt. Governor of Alberta Arts Awards in Battle River Division (Battle Lake to Battleford) the Battle River Group, will be hosting the Grouse Symposium on March 11 at Camrose County office (3755-43 Avenue) from 6 until 9 p.m.

Join fellow residents and advocates of our natural world in an evening of presentations and an art show featuring information on the grouse, a magnificent Alberta resident species that is in danger of decreasing numbers.

“The word ‘grouse’ can mean many things to people, whether it’s a meal at Thanksgiving, an exhilarating hunting experience, or a symbol of natural habitat,” said University of Alberta Augustana professor of environmental science and geography, Glen Hvenegaard.

He explained that the different members of the grouse family include grouse, partridge, pheasants, and ptarmigans.

“They are ground-dwelling birds that have strong legs and feet, most native species have feathers down to their toes.”

As one of the native bird species common around Camrose and area, there is a pretty good chance that you may encounter a group of grouse while out walking in one of the many trails available in the area or on private land.

“Near Camrose, the most common species is the ruffed grouse, especially in aspen forests,” noted Hvenegaard. “Ruffed grouse populations have dropped

gradually in Alberta during the last 50 years.”

According to Hvenegaard there are 10 species of grouse in Alberta, ranging from small, chunky, and camouflaged species to large and colorful species.

“All species in Alberta live here year-round, which gives us a chance to know them throughout the different seasons.”

In an effort to create awareness of the growing concern in the decreasing numbers of grouse in Alberta, the Battle River Lt. Governor of Alberta Arts Awards in Battle River Division (Battle Lake to Battleford) has named 2019 the Year of the Grouse and prior to the main events occurring in September of this year, the Battle River Group have and will be hosting informative sessions on the grouse.

The Battle River Group will host the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta 2019 Distinguished Artist Awards with a celebration of a region-wide, creative event inspired by the land, its seasons, first peoples’ perspective–and informed by precontract through settler history.

The Battle River region will have the honour of being the eighth Alberta community to host the biennial event that honours Distinguished Artists with awards of $30,000.

For more information on The Battle River Group www.battleriverarts.ca is composed of ALL, Maskwa Associates and NEWO Global Energy in association with a dynamic Working Group consisting of members from across the Battle River Region.

Rail museum needs shoes

By Lori Larsen

As part of the upcoming Battle River Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Distinguished Arts Awards, beginning in September, the Camrose Heritage Railway Station will be featuring a unique interpretive display called In Their Footsteps.

The Battle River committee will be hosting several events during September that will reflect the mission to uphold the identified theme of the Battle River Lieutenant Governor Arts Awards of “Arts that flow as Stories from the Landscape.”

The Railway Station’s contribution will feature footwear along with interpretive stories of past and present cultures (settlers and Indigenous) in the Battle River areas and they are turning to the community to assist by loaning footwear to the Canadian Northern Society for the display.

Some types of footwear may include that of farm-

ers, nurses, construction workers, cooks, miners, business people, dancers (all types and cultures) and footwear indicative of a specific culture such as Indigenous, Scandinavian or Ukrainian.

The Railway Station are requesting loaned footwear early in an effort to prepare the display and items, during the months that the students are there to assist.

All items loaned will be recorded on temporary loan forms and returned at the end of September.

This would be a wonderful opportunity to provide the community with a glimpse into your (or your family’s) history as well as giving visitors to the Battle River area an opportunity to “walk in someone else’s shoes.”

For more information, or to loan footwear to the Railway Museum for this event, contact by email at canadiannorthern@ telus. net or by telephone at 780-672-3099.

Standing up against bullying

By Lori Larsen

Gord McLean got the wheels rolling, literally, to show Emmett and his family there is support in numbers.

McLean acquired the services of limo driver Ali Nazary who donated his time and fuel to provide the brave young Emmett, along with Emmett’s sister, cousin, mother and some bighearted Bullying Enns riders, with a style-up safe ride home.

“I did my first ride with Bullying Enns a couple years ago for my grandson and last year for Brody, a local young fella.” McLean said. “Brody’s father has since joined in the bike group and often speaks about how the day the Bullying Enns group showed up for Brody and how it made such a Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster positive difference in his life.” Our Lady Mount Pleasant students and staff generated a The group of bikers, who sea of pink of Feb. 27 in support of Pink Shirt Day, an initiative to bring awareness to bullying. vary in numbers, come from all walks of life and who share a love for motorcycles, area had students and staff donning the colour do not advocate violence.

Drill hall roof in need of repair

By Lori Larsen

As part of its 2019– 2023 strategic plan, City of Camrose Council identified “Asset Management” as one of four key focus areas.

Expedited by the discovery of structural concerns with the roof structure of the Aquatic Centre during renovation and expansion, City administration prioritized three other facilities that they felt would benefit from an inspection by Wood Research & Development (WRD) while the inspection company is still available in Camrose.

Assessment on the roof structures of the Max McLean, Curling Rink and Community Centre at a cost of $60,000 was originally included in the 2019 operating budget, however based on the costs incurred to date along with estimated costs to complete further inspection, testing and analysis by WRD, the costs were revised to reflect $180,000 (including a 15 per cent contingency).

The “heat” turn up the heat on fire

By Lori Larsen

They came, they played and they raised a lot of fun and funds for Special Olympics Camrose.

On Feb. 23, the bleachers at the Max MacLean Arena were crowded with family, friends and fans, over 800 people, cheering on the Camrose Fire Department (CFD) and Camrose Police Service (CPS) in the first Camrose Battle of the Badges fundraiser hockey challenge for Special Olympics Camrose.

“Camrose Police Service holds the community and its residents in the highest regard,” said CPS Chief Mark Neufeld. “It is both an honour and a pleasure for us to support organizations like Special Olympics. We have always had a special relationship with these great folks and, the truth is, we have received far more from them than we could ever give in return.”

The ceremonial puck was dropped to the ice at 3 p.m. by the Special Olympics Camrose Gold winning five-pin bowling team. Then the game was on.

“What an awesome day,” remarked Camrose Fire Department Chief Peter Krich. “I would like to thank the members of the Camrose Fire Services who stepped up to support our community with this event.”

During half time, CFD mascot Sparky, outscored CPS mascot Corporal K-9 tieing up the game. In the second period CFD players tried some “not so much” regulation game strategies to outscore CPS, but in the end turning up the heat wasn’t quite enough to extinguish the “heat”.

The two period game saw action at both ends of the arena, but when the results were in the scoreboard had the last say, with Camrose Police Service team being the victors of the coveted trophy.

However, the real winners were the Special Olympics Camrose athletes who will be the beneficiaries of the generous funds raised by Special Olympics athletes, hockey players, community members and businesses and attendees during the game who purchased 50/50 tickets, frisbees, donuts and bid in the silent auction.

“We can confidently say around $19,000 was raised for Special Olympics Camrose (Alberta),” said Special Olympics Camrose chair and media coordinator Carol Wideman. “Camrose you rock.”

In speaking of the success of the event

Wideman added. “The support of all the incredible community volunteers who assisted to make this event such a success, is invaluable.

“We are already talking about 2020 Battle of Badges.”

CFD Chief Krich said the entire event was a huge success and proved once again the true spirit of this community.

“It could not have worked out better teaming up with the Camrose Police Service and Special Olympics for such an important fundraiser. Although this was identified as a “Battle of the Badges” and we provided the excitement of the day and lost the battle, the true winners were the Special Olympians of Camrose. Also, a special thank you to the Camrose residents for coming out and supporting us all, what a fantastic crowd.”

Chief Neufeld also expressed sincere gratitude to all involved in the success of the Battle of the Badges. “On behalf of the men and women of the Camrose Police Service, both sworn and civilian, I offer my heartfelt thanks to the Camrose Fire Department, Camrose Special Olympics, and to our community. The support for this event was unbelievable; the smiles on all the faces in the arena on Saturday spoke volumes about the character of Camrose and its residents!”

After deliberation by council, the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan (DARP) (Bylaw 3018-18) received second reading during the Feb. 19 regular council meeting.

City of Camrose planning and development has been working on the DARP since late 2016, which, once approved, will replace the 2007 Downtown Action Plan, with policies that will guide redevelopment and investment in downtown Camrose.

First reading of DARP was given on Nov. 19, 2018, at which point some councillors voiced concerns with some of the terminology and also requested administration meet with the Municipal Planning Advisory Committee (MPAC) and the external steering committee.

Administration, along with council, met with the

external steering committee on Jan. 7 and 8 and with MPAC on Jan. 9.

Since the inception of DARP in 2017, the City has hosted several public engagement events and meetings, the results of which have led Planning and Development to conclude that DARP has been created by the residents of Camrose, for the residents of Camrose. Over 10 per cent of Camrosian’s provided direct feedback through at least one of the public engagement methods.

An open house on Oct. 11, 2018 drew 49 members of the public in attendance. No major concerns were expressed and the majority of the comments were positive with an overall sense of excitement regarding the long range vision of DARP, including

partnerships with business owners of Downtown Camrose and developers and improvements that reach areas beyond Main Street.

City of Camrose planning and development director Aaron Leckie recommended that council hold off on third reading of Bylaw 3018-18. “There is a pending application before council right now, regarding conversion of commercial space to residential space on Main Street and we would prefer not to amend DARP immediately following its adoption.”

Leckie suggested waiting until the conclusion of the aforementioned application before giving final reading to DARP, explaining that there may be changes to DARP pending the decision made regarding the application.

Drill hall roof in need of repair Continued from page 9

After completing their initial inspection of the facilities WRD identified specific issues with the roof structure of the Community Centre (specifically the old Drill Hall building).

City of Camrose manager Malcolm Boyd explained. “Some of the original 1938 vintage timbers that make up the roof of that building are beginning to show signs of failure.”

Boyd indicated that while WRD’s inspection revealed concerns that need to be addressed they did state that there is no

risk of imminent failure today. “We have to do some further inspection in order to determine what repairs are necessary to prevent a failure down the road.”

The original Drill Hall was used for military training. The City of Camrose took over the building converting it to what is now referred to as the Community Centre, including extensive renovations in 2002 when the Fieldhouse was added.

Council accepted the report for information and directed administration to follow through with further inspection.

Government committed to helping municipalities

By Bruce Hinkley, Wetaskiwin-Camrose

Send your LETTER TO THE EDITOR to: The Camrose Booster 4925-48 Street, Camrose, AB T4V 1L7 or email it to:

MLA

Our government is committed to working with municipalities to make life better for Albertans.

By providing stable, predictable funding to our municipal partners we continue to ensure you have the resources needed to meet your local infrastructure priorities and strengthen the communities we call home. Partnering with the federal government Gas Tax Fund to assist with building strong, safe and resilient communities, here are some of our constituency projects: Bittern Lake–$100,000 for Railway Avenue upgrade, City of Wetaskiwin–$500,000 for asphalt overlays, $482,500 for 40th Avenue and 47th Street intersection improvements, $159,594 for 51st Street design, $88,230 for 46th Street surface improvements, $271,000 for traffic signal replacement program.

Through the Alberta Community Partnership (ACP) program our Government encourages strengthened relationships between municipalities and co-operative approaches to service delivery. Two such projects include the Summer Village of Grandview at Pigeon Lake, which has been approved for a grant of $185,000 under the Intermunicipal Collaboration component in support of the Pigeon Lake Watershed Management Plan project; and the City of Camrose $200,000 in support of their Crossroads Intermunicipal Area Structure Plan project.

Homelessness has been an issue in Wetaskiwin and the cold weather has made it even more of a concern.

Our government has initiated a number of programs to help by investing in affordable housing. Community and Social Services (CSS) ministry continues to work closely with Seniors and Housing to address housing affordability issues throughout the province. In 2018-19 CSS invested nearly $191 million in community-based programming to address the needs of those experiencing homelessness, and women and children leaving family violence.

Also, $1.2 billion over five years to build 4,000 units of affordable housing, support dollars for Habitat for Humanity; raised minimum wage; and $750,000 to improve health outcomes for homeless people. We have increased annual funding to Native Friendship Centres.

In our constituency the Camrose Open Door Association is receiving $34,490 for teen homelessness and the Neighbour Outreach Wetaskiwin is receiving $40,000 for adult homelessness.

We have been listening to constituents and getting results. Here are some of what has been accomplished so far: Daycare and early learning programs, school nutrition programs, modernized royalty framework, value-added resources processing and investments in local Alberta businesses, greater transparency in government, ensuring stable funding for healthcare, education, and front-line essential services, minimum wage increases, better access to midwifery services.

Building a resilient diversified economy: New petrochemical diversification program, support and incentives for small business, major investments in infrastructure projects, encouraging local investment, 30 per cent renewables by 2030, comprehensive curriculum review, post-secondary tuition freeze, restoring and expanding Student Temporary Employment Program, training and employment programs.

Protecting consumers: Ending predatory money lending, ending high-pressure door to door sales of energy products, improving auto industry oversight, new fee guides to reduce dental costs, capping electricity rates for four years, enforcing energy contract disputes resolution protections.

Supporting Albertans through tough times: Responding quickly and decisively to the Fort McMurray wildfire, introducing the Alberta Child Benefit, rejecting opposition calls for cuts, lowering the small business tax, supporting apprenticeship and employment retraining programs.

Dealing with issues the previous government ignored: Taking leadership on climate change, restoring fair, progressive taxation, fighting for pipeline to tidewater, ensuring the appropriate use of public education funding, forming an energy efficiency agency.

Increasing market access: Reject opposition calls to replace a made-in-Alberta Climate Leadership plan with one made in Ottawa, * support to family farms and feedlots, promoting opportunities for Alberta businesses to access to export markets, spurring investment in local business.

Election

This spring, we as Albertans, are soon headed back to the election booth. The NDP government has been in power since 2015 and I do agree with many Albertans that the old Progressive Conservatives in 2015 were out of touch with Albertans.

This had happened many times before. In 1935, the United Farmers received the largest defeat when they went from full government to no seats when the Alberta Social Credit did the impossible and formed the government. This reminded me of a repeat of what happened in 2015.

So, what has happened differently now than what happened back in 1943? The Alberta Social Credit Party were in a lot of trouble. They still won the 1939 election under Aberhart. Aberhart died in May of 1943 then Earnest Manning took over.

He dumped a lot of the Social Credit ideas and concentrated on winning elections.

So, what should we take from the past? At first, the Social Credit were voted in a lot of false promises. Every Albertan was promised a $25 credit. Alberta, at that time was bankrupt. Aberhart did not have the funds to make our loan payments to the federal government not counting this $25 credit, which Albertans were counting on.

Later, Aberhart did try to pay the government pay roll with Alberta money certificates. Most people refused to be paid in that currency.

Later Manning used some of the oil royalties to pay each Albertan a $25 cheque. Lat-

er Ralph paid Albertans an even higher cheque based on the Alberta Social Credit’s concept. It won him the next election.

When Manning came to power as our premier, he was the one who helped create our oil sands. So, call our oil whatever you want, dirty or anything else you want, just know that this oil pulled Alberta out of bankruptcy.

So no matter who you vote for or refuse to vote over, remember those people in our past who fought hard to make this province what it is today.

Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose Climate change

I’m getting very tired of people making excuses for not acting on climate change.

The sad thing is that by not acting, we are only hurting ourselves. In 2018, the average Canadian was responsible for 22.2 tonnes of carbon emissions. The average Chinese was responsible for eight tonnes of carbon emissions, but its China that is making great efforts against climate change. Last year half of the world’s electric vehicles sold were sold in China because China has a stiff carbon tax that discourages gas vehicles. China is not doing this because it cares about the Earth; it is doing it because it is in its own economic interest. Its own interest. That’s why in Canada, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the banks, even the oil companies say that for Canada’s future prosperity, we require a carbon tax.

The evidence is clear from

SERVICE PINS

BC, California and some European countries that a carbon tax makes the economy healthier by stimulating innovation and diversity at the same time that it reduces carbon emissions. The American Paul Romer was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in October for his work showing that a country can benefit by adapting its economy for climate change, but a carbon tax is a necessary first step.

In a previous letter, it stated that we are “paying through the nose,” but that isn’t the carbon tax, which is a tiny part of the tax we pay. It is the one tax that is shown to do a lot of good for a very small price. Whether you like it or not, people are going to continue to press our governments to act on climate change because someone has to stand up for Canada, not to mention for the younger generation whose future we put at risk by refusing to act. The world economy is changing because of climate change and Canada can choose to change with it or get run over as the world passes us by. I’ll continue to stand up for Canada.

Rob Hill, Camrose Editor’s note: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation said it is a fact: despite having the highest carbon tax in Canada, CO2 emissions in British Columbia are rising for the second straight year, not falling.

Ballet Jörgen brings Coppélia to life

By Murray Green

Coppélia is an old story about love. It is a blend of Pinnocho and Toy Story that comes to life on stage.

Ballet Jörgen dancers perform Coppélia Thursday, March 14, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. Local dancers will also be part of the show.

another show,” said Ballet Jörgen education manger, Clea Iveson.

“It has been eight years since we’ve had this production on tour, so it is really exciting to bring it back and breathe new life into it. It is a bit of a romp and it’s fun. It tears at the heart strings in a good way.”

It is a comedy with love. Coppélia is the world’s oldest surviving ballet and is the best known and most performed comedic ballet.

It is a daring, bold and funny story that takes you into the mysterious mind of Dr. Coppélius, a lonely and disillusioned toy maker who wishes he could bring his dolls to life to find his perfect bride.

“A lot of people are not familiar with the story.

Anyone walking out from seeing the performance will have a wonderful experience,” added Clea. “The audience is more open to allow the performance to speak for itself and therefore the deliverance is bigger or stronger. People are surprised by the amount of laughs found in the ballet because they are immersed in what they are seeing.”

Dr. Coppélius creates Coppélia, a stunning, lifesized dancing doll. The story’s beauty and hilarity develop quickly as Nathanael—one of the local villagers—falls madly in love with the doll. His sweetheart Klara enacts revenge, and confusion and love are explored through her pretending to be Coppélia to punish Nathanael.

“We will have 14 danc-

ers in the production. They will be joined by some local dancers, anywhere from four to six local dance students,” she said.

“My favourite feedback from local dancers is when they share how much they learned about the industry.

It is not just about being on stage, but also what they learned back stage talking with professionals and discovering the work and process the dancers go through. They learn how the team works together with lighting, stage people and understand what they learn in class and how it translates to being on stage,” said Clea.

“We are still accepting applications for our dancers in Camrose. They need approval from their instructors first and then

Ennis Sisters back for St. Patrick’s

By Murray Green

Camrose music enthusiasts have shared holiday music with the Ennis Sisters in the past.

This year, instead of a Christmas show, the girls from the East Coast are here at the Bailey Theatre for St. Patrick’s Day, a concert on Sunday, March 17 at 2 p.m. Back by popular demand, the Ennis Sisters are returning with their multi-award winning musical talent, charm and evocative new album Keeping Time.

Newfoundland’s Ennis

Sisters were such a big hit in Camrose the last two years, they agreed to come back again.

“The first five years, we did all of our shows in Newfoundland. To be able to take our tour off the island and spread our music to other parts of the country and see new faces is exciting,” said Teresa Ennis, prior to the second show in Camrose.

The Ennis Sisters, Maureen, Teresa and Karen, are known for their skillfully performed, interwoven harmonies and energy by the three sisters.

The sisters grew up singing in church and have since turned it into a 20-year career with several albums. “The three of us are a harmony focused group.

We will have a percussionist and a multi-instrumentist member with us and some of us play Celtic instruments.”

The Ennis Sisters are world-renowned performers whose inspirational harmonies, humorous recitations, Irish step dancing and engaging stage rapport, lift spirits and warm hearts.

Community generosity honoured

By Lori Larsen

In honour of the generosity of community organizations and individuals, University of Alberta Augustana Campus students and staff gathered with dignitaries, guests and honoured donors at the annual Community Awards Banquet held on Feb. 12.

In an evening dedicated to thanking supporters for their gracious commitment to assisting Augustana students in their quest for education and securing a bright future, students joined their respective donor(s) or representatives to break bread and share their stories and their gratitude.

The evening began with master of ceremonies, Jonathan Hawkins (Augustana assistant registrar), welcoming all to the event followed by the blessing of the meal musical interlude by the Augustana Choir and prayer lead by student chaplain Anika Asfeldt.

Greetings were brought on behalf of the City of Camrose and council by Mayor Norm Mayer, Camrose County and council councillor Doug Lyseng and Government of Alberta MLA for Wetaskiwin-Camrose, Bruce Hinkley.

Augustana Development assistant director, Bree Urkow, paid homage to all the donors and presented anniversary recognition.

Urkow shared an overview of the growth of the Community Awards program and the impact donations have on not only Augustana, but the students by relating actual quotes from students who received awards this year.

She began with the first thank you quote, “Thank you for your kind donation. Upon receiving it, I was able to finalize my choice to attend Augustana. I was unsure of what I wanted to do and your generous donation allowed me to realize that Augustana has a supportive community I could succeed in.

Thank you for your support.”

Urkow reported that over the past 10 years, the banquet has hosted over 3,443 guests (meals) including donors, students, distinguished alumni award winners, special guests and teams of volunteers. She recognized seven donors in the audience who have never missed a banquet.

Since 2009, 2,081 students have received award funding with a total of $1,076,000 in annual student award, scholarship and bursary funding has been provided.

“To illustrate the growth of the program, we awarded just over $60,000 in annual donor funding back in 2009. This year we awarded $160,000.”

Endowed awards are given as an investment in Augustana with the interest each year funding the award for gratuity. “Since 2009, $1.2 million of endowed awards have been given. And our endowed awards have grown from providing $90,000 in 2009 to $151,000 this year.

“Because of you, a total of $2.2 million has been provided to our deserving and hard working Augustana students.”

Some final statistics included, since 2009, 71 new donor funded awards have been created. Today the program provides a total of 229 donor awards which represents over $311,000 in award funding and support to the Augustana students.

Urkow concluded with more thank you quotes from students, noting that all the quotes she shared had an underlying message that the students hope to one day pay the kindness forward by helping others in the same fashion that they were helped by donors.

In introducing University of Alberta Augustana Campus Dean Allen Berger, Urkow took an opportunity to thank him for his ongoing support of not only the Community Awards program, but Augustana Campus, as he retires from eight years as dean of Augustana this June.

Dean Berger welcomed guests and congratulated students.

“We are gathered once again to celebrate the generosity and commitment to students that so many of you have shown. A commitment that extends to post secondary education in general.

“All of you, by supporting access to quality post secondary education, are transforming

“I was mostly influenced by my parents,” said Wildcat. “From my mother, I learned to value education, trust in my abilities and set my own path. From my father, I learned the importance of hard work, building positive relations and trusting people, he believed most people do the right thing most of the time.”

Wildcat enlightened the audience on the concept of Wahkotowin of how Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster all things are all related and connected. “As Cree, we Augustana students left to right Tyler Weenink recipient of the Camrose Booster Award, Danielle Brockman, Juhee Bang (awarded believe that all living things have a spirit and because of Fielding & Company LLP Law Fire Scholarship also) and Ashley Hadley recipients of the Bill and Berdie Fowler Entrance Award. that spirit, we are all connected to each other.” lives and investing in the future of our provWildcat spoke of the honour he had in playince, indeed of the entire world.” ing a part in the establishment of the WahBerger recognized the continual comkotowin Lodge at Augustana and how meetings mitment of Augustana faculty and staff to and conversations regarding the placement innovate and promote academic rigor, student engagement and steady improvements on our of the Lodge strengthened the relationship between Augustana and Maskwacis. retentions and graduation rates.

Berger indicated that Alberta has the low- Education Schools Commission (MESC) est post secondary attendance rate in Canada and that among 18 to 34 year-olds in Alberta, only 17 per cent are enrolled in post-secondary institutions, compared to the nationwide average of 24 per cent. He added that, according to Alex Usher, bringing Alberta up to the national post-secondary average would require 47,000 additional seats at universities, colleges and poly technics province-wide.

While thanking donors for their generous giving, Berger further challenged everyone to become advocates for public policies that advance post-secondary attendance and completion rates and keep university attendance affordable.

In closing, Berger extended an invitation and a challenge to the students. “My invitation is to remember this night. I hope you will never forget the generous individuals who helped make your post secondary education possible. My challenge to all of you is to pay it forward. Give back by supporting future generations of Augustana students.”

Berger recognized student Emmarie Brown as the recipient of the Gunvor and Erik Mygind Entrance Citation, and Drew Fitzgerald as the recipient of the Right Honourable Don Mazankowski Entrance Citation.

Bus training could cause driver shortage

By Murray Green

Bus driver and student safety is always a concern.

But new training could take its toll on recruiting new school bus drivers.

The Alberta School Boards Association urgently requests funding for the Mandatory Entry Level Training (MELT) for new bus drivers.

Starting last week, March 1, new school bus drivers are required to complete an enhanced driver program. This costly program could cause a bus driver shortage, potentially resulting in children being unable to make it to school.

This puts undue pressure on schools, school boards, parents and students alike.

“The truth is, 81 per cent of locally-elected public, separate and francophone school boards are reporting transportation deficits, with an average deficit of more than $500,000. This mandatory training program has been rushed in its implementation, and will only serve to put further strain on school board budgets. In fact, many schools boards are already diverting funds allocated for the classroom to cover the cost of transportation. With the MELT program in place, the number of boards being forced to divert funds will only increase,” said Lorrie Jess, president of the ASBA. “We all believe the safety of students is of paramount importance, this is why school boards have secured proper training and supervision for students taking the bus.

Parents deserve to feel secure in the understanding that their children will be transported to and from school in vehicles operated by trained professionals.

Parents also deserve to feel secure in the understanding that their children will be transported to school in a timely manner. In conjunction with educational partners, ASBA is urging government to provide the funding that covers the full cost of the MELT program,” she added.

The Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA) serves Alberta’s 61 locally-elected public, separate and francophone school boards. For more information visit, www.asba.ab.ca.

Michael Ray Ducs May 6, 1966 ~ March 7, 2018 The “Man in Black” spent the largest part of his life in Camrose. He attended CLC twice and CLBI. Michael was blessed to be on a Musical Team at CLBI that travelled across Canada and the Northern States in 1987. He also sang in the Camrose Community Choir – a great joy for him.

Michael’s face would light up when he would share his musical memories that renewed his soul over the years. He loved people and would talk to anyone he met, always leaving them with a joke.

His laugh was one that was both loud and contagious and it could be heard throughout the store, making him easy to find. He would be so happy whenever someone would recognize him to talk and catch up on life events.

Michael also loved sports. He was an excellent athlete throughout his school years and played on as many teams as he could. He was also a long-distance runner back in Three Hills and, at times, the RCMP would clock him so he would know how fast he was running.

He was intelligent and never lost his passion and knowledge of both Greek and Hebrew Theology, Math, Sciences and Philosophy.

As Michael’s health deteriorated, he spent more and more time on his laptops, realizing that there was still so much to learn and that time was passing by. He looked forward to nightly calls from his father promptly at 6:00 each night. Towards the end of his life, he surrounded himself with music, special e-books, computers, his cats and pictures of friends and family, and especially of Brady. He would ask me about our family and what they looked like so that when it was his time, he would recognize them.

He passed away dressed in his usual immaculate way at home, as he requested.

His thanks go out to those who offered him love, peace and prayers; Dr. Slabbert who nurtured his soul and physical body; Allen who came every week to talk to him; Rich; Camrose Police Service who checked on him after frequent alarms from his falls; the EMTs; and the Shoppers Drug Mart team who treated him so well.

Finally, those whose prayers were raised to Heaven on his behalf, thanks to you all!

Shirley had a creative side to her and became a very good seamstress. She began by making clothes for her children, and this grew into her providing evening sewing classes at Daysland High School.

Among her favourite vacation spots were the beaches of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho and Osoyoos, BC. She also enjoyed visiting Great Falls, Montana.

Shirley is survived by her children Michael Owens (Colleen), Frank Block (Carmyn) and Rhonda Johnson (Kevin); grandchildren Camille Roney (Morgan), Michael Crane (Mariah), Haiden Block, Jordan and Cianna Johnson, Murray Owens; great-grandson Grayson Roney; along with brother Cecil Rempel (Jeannette); sisters Doreen Sheuer (Harry) and June Stuart; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was pre-deceased by her father Ben; mother Meta; husband Don; companion Robert Goossen; son Merle; brother Bruce; and sisters Susan and Evelyn.

Tell him that I love and miss him And when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for awhile.

Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day, But there is an ache within my heart That will never go away.

Love, Shauna and Brady

The automotive section of

Kelland kept his first Fury III car running

By Murray Green

Bill Kelland learned how to drive in a 1965 Plymouth Fury III four door sedan.

“I’ve had this car since I was 18 years old, in fact the very first car that I ever owned,” shared Bill.

The Plymouth Fury is a model of automobile which was produced by Plymouth from 1955 to 1989.

“I found this car advertised for sale and I always wanted something that was older than me. I love four door sedans. Everybody else likes the two doors or sports models, but the sedans appeal to me,” explained Bill.

In 1965, Chrysler returned the Fury to the new, full-size Chrysler C-body platform. The new 1965 Plymouth line included three special Furys: the Fury I, Fury II, and Fury III. The Fury I was the basic model, while the Fury II and Fury III offered more trim and features.

“They have a nicer, longer look to them that just stands out to me. It’s original.

Everybody else takes these and chops them up to make them shorter, into a two door, weld the doors and do whatever they want to do.”

Full size Furys had options such as automatic transmission, power steering, white sidewall tires (along with full wheel covers), stereo radios, vinyl tops, and air conditioning.

“Since I bought this car,

FIRST VEHICLE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Bill Kelland revived his first car, a 1965 Plymouth Fury III, to enjoy as a daily driver in the summer. He wants to keep it running smooth so his children can learn to drive on the classic as well.

I re-did the engine in college.

I’m a mechanic by trade, so I also re-built the transmission. It is out of a 1984 Dodge pick-up. I re-built the rear end, did all of the body work. I

FUN FACTS

Plymouth’s Fury III was high in popularity, even though the Sport Fury was the flagship. The most popular hardtop was the $2,691 Fury III coupe.

Plymouth listed six Fury III body styles, with the four-door sedan the leader in sales. The station wagons, two door models, a convertible and a four-door hardtop completed the line.

They were distinguished by extra exterior ornamentation, including large, mid-height, side chrome spears complete with a colour insert. Three horizontal slashes and the Fury III badge were positioned at the rear of the front fenders. Fury IIIs also featured a metal panel, filling the entire space between the quad taillights and backup lamps. Fury III sported all-vinyl or cloth-and-vinyl interiors. Bench seats were styled to resemble buckets, with vertical pleats helping to support the illusion. Buyers could choose from 15 exterior colours with a wide array of fabric choices.

The 318 V-8 came standard, depending on model. The 383 and 318 have been highly sought after over the years for their dependability and power.

The Fury III production for 1965 reached 139,344 units. Plymouth built cars for people looking for an inexpensive car, but who wanted something better than average.

put duel exhaust on it and put on some new rims and tires,” shared Bill.

“The original engine was a 318 Poly wide block. It now has a 1972 Plymouth Fury III 318 engine. What happened is that I did a burn-out when I was 18 and it locked up with the engine twisting the crank. The engine was done at that time. I never thought anything more of it and I found a 1972 engine and put that in, which I regret now.”

If he had to do it over again, he would have fixed the original motor. “With a wife and four children, priorities were in other places.

Now I’m fixing a little bit each year,” he added.

“This was the first car I painted and I did that in my garage, so there are imperfections in it.

The 1966 Furys kept the same profile as the 1965s, with a split front and rear grille. “I hope to install new upholstery this winter. It is expensive, but it is one of the

last things that needs to be done,” said Bill.

“I’m not afraid to drive it somewhere, or leave it at a parking lot. I built it to drive anywhere.

“My oldest daughter (who is 11 years old) says she is going to drive the car and own it one day. I want to keep it going until then.

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE PACKAGE Service Includes:

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Maria Socorro Portales and Lawrence Portales, along with baby Solana and sister Sedreanna are a family in their first home.

By Murray Green

The Canadian Home Program offers free education about how to buy a house and then it gives you money towards your purchase.

The successful program is in its ninth year in Camrose, of helping local people to learn about all of the aspects of purchasing a home. Realtor Glenda Strauss, of Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty, is organizing the program that has already helped many residents.

The workshop will be held at the Camrose Public Library on Saturday, March 16 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

“I read in the paper (The Camrose Booster) about the program and registered last year and attended the session,” said Maria Socorro Portales who, along with her husband Lawrence Portales, took advantage of the local program.

“It was a learning process for us because we were firsttime home buyers. We have been renting for about 10 years, going back to the Philippines.

It was a big help for us because we had no idea about the process in Canada, since it is a foreign country,” she added. “The Home Program made it easier for us and I strongly encourage anyone who is considering buying a home to attend.”

The Portales family also includes two daughters, Sedreanna and Solana.

“At first, we were kind of hesitant because buying a home is not easy, especially your first home. In the Philippines, you need a huge amount of money and the banks are not as trustful,” explained Lawrence. “Here, if you have good credit and are working, it gives you the edge in buying a property.”

Not only did the Portales family learn about buying a home, they gained financially.

“We received $1,000 to go towards the purchase of our new home, which was a big help to us in the first month.

Award winning Noises Off play unveiled at Bailey

By Murray Green

Infinite Imagination, a Camrose theatre group, is performing its version of Noises Off a classic farce by the Tony Award-winning author Michael Fryan.

“We chose this play because we wanted to perform another comedy after our first big production of Is He Dead. We wanted a comedy because that is what people liked about our show. We want to do more drama and serious stuff, but a comedy show like this gets our name out there. This is an awardwinning show,” explained Mike Hicks of Infinite Imagination.

The play is actually two stories simultaneously unfolding on stage in a traditional sex farce, Nothing On. It is a backstage drama that develops during a final rehearsal to start their tour.

The two plays begin to interlock as the characters make their exits from Nothing On only to find themselves making entrances into the even worse nightmare going on backstage. At the disastrous final performance, the two plots can no longer be kept separate and merge into a single collective nervous breakdown.

“This is a very challenging show for us, very physical as well,” added Trevor McTavish of Infinite Imagination.

“We will have a rotating stage and the second act will be a huge dance scene. It is about what happens behind

stage, giving the audience a view of all that,” added Mike.

Mike and Trevor started out as a travelling group and when this show has completed its run at the Bailey, it will go on the road to Edgerton and Rosalind.

“We started out as a travelling group because we were doing one-acts and that was a lot of fun. Now we are at the Bailey and we want to do something big here,” said Trevor. “We want to bring in

3710-47 Avenue, Camrose Phone 780.679.5805

www.nybackrv.com

some money to the Bailey and keep this place busy. Mike and I love live theatre. We want to make the shows fun.”

With a smaller group of people, Mike is often producing the show and Trevor is busy with set design.

“If anyone wants to join us as a producer, set designer or acting, come join us at the Bailey,” laughed Mike.

The group will have nine people on stage as well as Kevin Schole handling props, Dan Johnson as the assistant director, Laurie Broughton as the assistant stage manager and Deb Huntley as the stage manager. Billy Bailey and

Rick Myers also help with set design.

“This is only our second major production and we are getting better as we go,” said Trevor.

Often billed as the funniest farce ever written, Noises Off presents a manic menagerie of itinerant actors rehearsing a flop called Nothing’s On. Noises Off won the 1982 Olivier award for Best Play, 1982 London Evening Standard award for Best Comedy, nominee in 1984 for a Tony award for Best Play and a nominee in 1984 Drama Desk award for Best Play.

Infinite Imagination will stage the play on Thursday, March 21 at 7 p.m.; Friday, March 22 with a dinner at 6 and show starting at 7 p.m.; Saturday, March 23 for dinner at 6 and show at 7 p.m.; Friday, March 29 with dinner at 6 and show 7 p.m.; Saturday, March 30 with show only at 2 p.m.; Saturday, March 30 with dinner at 6 and show at 7 p.m.

Infinite Imagination

The theatre group has regular Infinite Improv shows on March 7, April 11 and May 16 with action beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

Be Thorough

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

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

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

Be Honest

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

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.

Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

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

Talk things out for better mental health

By Murray Green

I want to talk about me. Every once in a while, you need to talk about yourself, because it helps to share with someone about how you’re feeling.

They can listen to you or help you look at things differently. Friends might also be able to help you figure out why you feel like you do.

Talking about things can be helpful in itself.

Sharing can make you feel less alone and help relieve the stress of coping by yourself. The other person may be able to offer reassurance, support, information, or help you connect with services, according to Alberta Health Services.

When choosing someone to talk to, look for someone you’re comfortable with and trust—will respect your privacy, will take you seriously, and will be understanding and accepting.

Think of what direction you need and what you want to accomplish.

Do you just want to talk, find out where you can get more info, or find services such as counselling?

Let them know you

have something you want to talk about. You might want to write down what you want to say.

Start by explaining that you need some help with a problem. Think of some examples from your life, as this may help them to better understand what’s going on.

If you’re not sure how the person will react, try hinting at a similar issue.

For example, talk about a story you read in the news and see how the person reacts. This will give you an idea of their views and whether they’re likely to be sympathetic.

You could also start conversation more generally—talk about how you’ve not been feeling great, rather than saying you’re feeling depressed, anxious, or stressed.

Be prepared for a range of different reactions. Remember that someone’s first reaction won’t be the same as their reaction when they’ve had time to process what you’ve said. Life’s full of ups and downs, and sharing our experiences with the people who care about us is natural and healthy.

Hockey Vikings split with portage

By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings hockey team split a series with the Portage Voyageurs on Feb. 22 and 23.

Augustana lost 3-2 in the first game. After a 1-0 first, Augustana tied the game in the middle frame with Mitch McMullin providing the tally. A couple of minutes later Portage went up by two goals again.

The Voyageurs scored in the third before the Vikings closed the scoring on a Jimmy Sheehan marker.

Goalie Curtis Skip made 24 of 27 saves, while Augustana recorded 36 shots on goal.
