Olympic gold medalist Ashleigh McIvor will be guiding skiers and hosting a race at Marmot Basin this weekend, as part of Clicquot in the Snow.

The 29-year-old from Whistler, B.C., won her medal at home in 2010 — the first year ski cross was in the Winter Games. Then, after sustaining a knee injury — one of many in her career — she decided to retire from competitive skiing last November.

“I probably could have pushed through [the injury] if I was really determined, but I just decided for me, it’s more important to ski recreationally for the rest of my life than it is to race for the next year through to

this next Olympic cycle,” she said.

Since ret i rement, McIvor has been busier than ever. With her Olympic success in 2010 and her incredible career overall — 11 podium finishes at World Cups between 2008 and 2011 and a top finish at the World Championships in 2009 — McIvor is in high demand. Photographers want her as their model. Businesses want her to inspire their staff. CBC wants her to do ski commentary. And, Whistler/Blackcomb wants her for their Ski with an Olympian package.

“There’s never a dull moment,” she said. “I’ve been doing speaking engagements on all sorts of topics that

I can use my sports stories to shine a light on, and then working as a spokesperson for various marketing campaigns and causes.”

This weekend she’ll be in Jasper with her sister for Clicquot in the Snow.

“We’re going to give people some tips on technique and style and then we’re going to hold a race,” she said.

The first annual Veuve Clicquot race will be on the School House run. McIvor said she won’t be competing. She’ll just be getting things started.

“I think they’re concerned I’d get too competitive and put everybody to shame,” she said with a laugh.

Following the competition, McIvor will present the winner with the first-ever Veuve Clicquot Winner’s Coat.

Clicquot in the Snow is one of Veuve Clicquot Champagne’s “Wish You Were Here” events. Since 2010, similar events have taken place in 10 countries.

Other activities during the weekend are at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. There will be an ice bar, yoga, cooking demonstrations, a Moulin Rouge inspired gala and an after party with DJs from Urban Metropolis.

Thursday, FeBruary 28, 2013 Jasper, aB, the fitzhugh 3

By sarah MaKOWsKy Reporter

While the open forum on water wasn’t meant to provide specific answers, local residents took the opportunity to speak freely about their concerns, hopes and ideas for the future of Alberta’s water use and management.

“Now is a good time to have discussions before we move too far into the future,” said Diana McQueen, minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development.

Hinton was one of 20 locations that the provincial government chose to host community conversations about water. On Thursday, Feb. 21, at least 50 people arrived at the Hinton Centre to talk water, including residents from outlying areas like Jasper.

“We’re hearing great ideas, so far,” said McQueen. The evening conversations focused on four different themes: lakes, hydraulic fracturing

(fracking), drinking water and wastewater systems, and water management. Participants spent 30 minutes discussing each topic. Each group had a facilitator, note taker, and one or two subject “experts” employed by the Alberta government.

Facilitators and experts mentioned repeatedly how impressed they were with the wealth of knowledge residents already possessed and how articulately they addressed their concerns.

Fracking was a popular topic. Many worries focused on technology safety and the risk of gas leaking into groundwater systems. On the internet, there are pictures and videos circulating of people in the US filling bottles with gas-contaminated water and lighting them on fire.

When asked why some people in Alberta have experienced this phenomenon, hydrogeologist Rob George said there has been a history of water wells containing gas pockets in Alberta. The gas was already there and not a repercussion of fracking, he clarified.

Fracking has been practised in Alberta for 60 years, McQueen pointed out, and 170,000 vertical wells and 41,000 horizontal wells have been drilled. “I can’t think of a more important investment,” she said.

Addressing safety concerns with the hydraulic fluids used, “reports are transparent about the chemicals,” she adds.

With Bill C-45’s relaxing of federal standards in regards to the security of waterways, there’s concern with fracking’s close proximity to some of the province’s lakes. Residents would like to see responsibility and accountability from the provincial government on this issue.

Another water safety concern is groundwater contamination. In December 2012, a document released through Access to Information legislation stated that a tailings pond near Fort McMurray is actively leaking into groundwater.

“In particular, modelling suggests that the groundwater is supersaturated with respect to iron and manganese oxyhydroxides,” states the report, co-written by 19 scientists.

None of the experts or facilitators openly addressed the leaking tailings pond. However, in response to the statement, they asked residents what principles the government should employ when dealing with similar issues.

Residents also worry that budget cuts will negatively affect policing of water issues and problems will continue to mount because there aren’t enough people or resources to enforce regulations. Industry accountability was a repeat concern throughout the evening.

Aging drinking water and wastewater infrastructure in Alberta’s municipalities was also discussed. Much of the technology is 50 years old and smaller municipalities won’t be able to absorb the cost of replacement.

Another water management concern is southern Alberta’s demand for water. Eighty per cent of water is in the northern part of the province, while 80 per cent of the demand is in the south, giving way to the issue of water transportation.

In response to international demands for water, McQueen stressed that “selling water rights won’t happen.”

In water conservation discussions, residents expressed that they would like to see more municipalities charge for water on a use-by-use basis, as opposed to imposing a flat rate.

Overall, residents said they’re looking for transparency, accountability and responsibility from the government when it comes to the province’s water. Above all, they said to put “water first.”

After the last water conversation on March 21, the government will create a “what we

heard” document, said McQueen. The document will be consulted when reviewing water policies and the government may seek further engagement on issues that emerge as a result of these water conversations.

Those who didn’t attend a water conversation event can still have their say by filling out an online survey before March 29 at www.waterconversation.alberta.ca.

While residents expressed appreciation for the opportunity to potentially guide Alberta’s future water legislation, they don’t know for sure if the ripples they’ve created will turn into waves. The next step is turning words into actions.

It’s the government’s job now, as one resident remarked, to “prove it.”

Water talks quench thirst, for now

Labour market daunting

Paolino Pietro Caputo of McBride, Rebecca Lerch of Valemount and Brianna Bossio of Jasper have joined the academic elite, having received the most prestigious distinction of Canadian high school students, the Bronze Governor General’s Academic Award. This is a notable achievement worthy of both respect and recognition. Their achievement will do much to help them when they attempt to enter the modern labour market. However, not everyone can achieve their level of distinction and competition in the labour market is particularly daunting.

According to the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (CGA), since 2005, one in four university graduates is underutilized in his or her job. The report released in 2012 and titled Youth Unemployment in Canada: Challenging Conventional Thinking, addresses the growing problem of underutilization of university graduates in Canada. The report notes that this trend is particularly prevalent in the tour and travel industry, library profession and among personal clerks and assistants where university degrees are not required yet 20 per cent of those in these occupations hold university degrees.

The issue is not limited to youth workers either, says the report. Nineteen per cent of workers aged 25 to 44 who were employed full-time and held university degrees worked in occupations which could be successfully carried out by employees with much lower education.

The report notes that it is common for many individuals to transition in and out of the labour force depending upon family responsibilities, illness or personal preferences, resulting in the outdating of skillsets and a decrease in employability.

These findings suggest that the labour market advantage of higher education has diminished, despite an increase in the educational level of modern youth. While higher education levels are associated with higher employment rates, many university graduates, most of whom have significant debt, are finding they need to take the jobs they can find rather than the jobs they want or have trained for. The same applies to older workers with university degrees needing to sustain their lifestyles or support their families.

This revelation means that high school students today will need better direction than in the past. Today’s youth need to nurture their natural abilities and skills so that they make wise choices when it comes to post-secondary direction. Students would also be wise to study the viability of several career paths and avoid flooding the labour market with excess skillsets, wasting their efforts and investment.

Students also need to honestly assess their own capabilities. With so many university graduates both young and old looking for work, simply graduating is not enough to guarantee a job; they must excel.

Parents and teachers will need to pay closer attention and guide students toward the right path. No longer can today’s youth roll a dice on their choice of career. The key is choosing a career that not only they will enjoy but that will also make good use of their skills.

FIPA bad for Canada?

Doug Jeffery, Donald “Curly” Phillips and Willard Jeffery building Shangri la cabin. Curly’s faithful dog was always with him. [ca. 1936]

History at a Glance is brought to you by the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives.Online: www.jaspermuseum.org / Twitter: @jaspermuseum

Dear Editor,

In September 2012, Pime Minister Harper signed a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China, which has not been ratified by Parliament yet. Despite its far-reaching consequences for our economy, environment and public programs, most Canadians never heard about it, the government has refused any public debate or independent review on the subject.

As currently drafted, the proposed FIPA is bad for Canada. If it were ratified, for no less than 31 years Chinese investors would have more rights than our own businesses, and the ability of our governments to regulate on environmental, social and other important matters would be constrained.

Several Articles of FIPA raise serious concerns:Chinese investors could ask for compensation ― to be paid

by Canadian taxpayers ― by saying they incurred economic loss or damage as a result of federal, provincial, territorial or municipal laws, regulations or practices (Article 20.1).

Whereas Canadian businesses have to submit their claims to our courts, Chinese investors would submit them to arbitrators whose decisions would be final (Art. 15.8).

All the documents of the parties, as well as the hearings, could be kept secret from the Canadian public (Art. 28).

Chinese investors could allege that measures taken by any level of government in Canada to protect the environment, workplace health and safety or social programs are applied in an arbitrary manner or constitute a disguised restriction on international investment (Art. 33.2), or are simply not “necessary”(Art. 33.2 (a) and (b)).

Article 33.2(b) is particularly worrisome since it deals with

[measures] “necessary to protect human, animal or plant life or health.” What is “necessary,” and hence the applicability of measures legislated by our elected representatives to protect Canadian workers, the general public and our land, water, air, forests, and wildlife, would be left to the interpretation of arbitrators who are not accountable to Canadian citizens. In a nutshell, the proposed FIPA would offer Chinese investors new possibilities to evade their legal responsibilities in Canada.

Contrary to our government’s claims, access to similar treatment for Canadian investors in China would not create an even playing field. First, FIPA would not apply to “existing non-conforming measures” (Art. 8.2), and China has more of those measures than Canada. Second, in Canada only the Investment Canada Act could be used to shield a decision from FIPA, while in China any “laws, regulations and rules relating to the regulation of foreign investment”, at any level of government, could be used to refuse a Canadian investment (Annex D.34).

If this deal is as good for Canada as the federal government claims, there is no reason to refuse a public debate or independent review on the subject. Yet, on October 25, 2012, the Conservative-dominated Standing Committee on International Trade voted down a motion to study the Canada-China FIPA. The country’s interest commands that Parliament does not ratify it and subjects it to public review. Greater public awareness could go a long way towards that end.

Sincerely,Gilles Gamas

Hinton, Alberta

Cancer clinic hopeHarry Home asked council if they’ve

heard more information from MLA Robin Campbell about bringing a cancer clinic to Jasper.

During a West Yellowhead candidates forum in Jasper in April 2012, Campbell said he supported the idea. Mayor Richard Ireland said that he doesn’t have any other updates since he and Home last spoke with Campbell in December.

Home phoned Campbell’s office, but said the lack of response might be due to the budget being tabled.

If Jasper were to get a cancer clinic, an Arizona doctor is interested in coming here, said Home.

Coun. Rico Damota thinks this issue should remain at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

“I think to get into that medical tourism aspect of bringing people here to help them heal and rejuvenate is definitely something that the community needs and should have.”

BylawsBefore the third reading of bylaw 163

(utility rates) CAO Peter Waterworth explained that the bylaw received a provision to address a possible future increase in solid waste rates. Parks has yet to decide how much to increase the rates and when to implement them, so the provision enables the CAO to increase utility costs to the extent necessary “but only the extent necessary to increase those costs,” he said. Enabling this provision allows the solid waste rates to change without the bylaw needing to go through all three readings again. Council unanimously voted to pass the bylaw on third and final reading.

Bylaws 164 (“authorizing supplementary assessments to be prepared for the purpose of imposing a tax in the same year”) and 165 ( supplementary tax) also unanimously passed third reading.

Bylaws 169 and 170 unanimously passed first reading. Bylaw 169 stated that election ballots be printed so that each candidate will have their name at the top of the ballot an equal amount of times. Bylaw 170 updates the parking authority bylaw so it doesn’t have to be read again every year unless it’s being amended.

Feb. 19 council briefs

Hot spring privatization harms middle class

Dear Editor,

After reading Jack Templeton’s Jan. 17 letter on hot springs privatization, I thought that some of his points needed further discussion.

Mr. Templeton pointed out that the hot springs are a drain on the public purse and taxpayers are funding them. I find it hard to believe that Jasper National Park needs a lot of taxpayer money when they bring in huge sums of money daily at the park gates during the summer months. These fees should cover the running of the park facilities so people get some value for their hard earned dollars.

Since our current government has been in charge, fees have risen and services have been reduced. I know of several families that no longer visit our parks because the fees are becoming too prohibitive.

One point made by Mr. Templeton about work apathy does not hold water in my view. If Parks privatize the hot springs, the good jobs will be lost to temporary workers that would be paid less. I don’t see where paying them less will make them care more. Our society in general needs good paying jobs, but our government today seems to prefer to let the businesses profit on the backs of the middle class. When we replace good paying jobs with lower paying jobs it affects all of us. The cost of living is rising rapidly and the middle class is losing more ground every day. Our government should be trying to give the middle class a bigger piece of the pie instead of taking it away.

Richter sentenced to 27 monthsOn Wednesday, Feb. 20, B.C. Supreme Court Justice

Frits Verhoeven handed down a 27-month sentence to Michael Allan Richter, 33, for aggravated assault on William Floris Groenveld, 56, of McBride. The judge gave Richter 15 months credit for time served in cus-tody since the incident, which occurred in December 2011.

On Dec. 11, 2011 at around 4 a.m., a resident re-sponded to her dogs barking and heard cries for help.She found Groeneveld in a snow bank on First Avenue. Two hours earlier Richter was giving Groeneveld a ride home when his SUV got stuck in the snow. Groeneveld thought Richter had made an advance toward him and when he responded Richter punched him in the face. Groeneveld, who is legally blind, suffered 34 facial fractures, a compressed skull fracture that had to be pulled away from his brain and two cracks to his left cheekbone.

Following surgery and hospital time, Groeneveld has a metal right eye orbit, hard pallet and currently has no feeling on the right side of his face. Because his jaw does not mesh well he finds chewing painful and is sus-ceptible to choking. He continues to have nightmares and flashbacks from the incident and also suffers from balance and memory issues.

Prior to sentencing, Richter apologized to Groeneveld, who was in attendance.

Richter was also sentenced to three months for flight from a peace officer and resisting arrest, fined $1,000 and is prohibited from driving for one year.

Alaïs Nevert (left) from Montreal, 21, from Capilano University and Michael Ciniello from Mississauga, 23, from Western University were last year’s youth ambassadors.

Are you a young Canadian looking for adventure? Do you want to create the ultimate Canadian “bucket list?” Do you want to share your stories about your summer vacation, road trips or encounters and use them to inspire youth to seek out awesome experiences in their own back yard? If so, Parks Canada has the job for you!

In 2011 Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the Parks Canada Youth Ambassador Program as Canada’s official gift to commemorate the first visit to Canada by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. As Parks Canada Youth Ambassadors, two young Canadians will be hired to inspire youth to get off the beaten track and discover and share all the awesome things they can experience in Canada.

The program accepted its first participants as summer student employees in May of 2012, and is currently seeking our next two youth ambassadors to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime summer journey. Have fun, create incredible memories and gain valuable skills through thrilling adventures in some of Canada’s most spectacular

places. Your mission: find creative new ways to get Canadian youth interested in and experiencing Canada’s rich and diverse natural and cultural heritage.

The adventures won’t stop with the end of summer. In September, as part-time employees (approximately one day per week until the end of March 2014), you will continue to share your discoveries and experiences at organized events and activities to motivate your generation to discover Parks Canada.

Parks Canada is partnering with Global Vision to help recruit the

youth ambassadors. Global Vision is a respected non-profit organization that has been developing young Canadians into global leaders since 1991. They have an established record for engaging Canadian youth and supporting their development.

If you are interested in becoming a Parks Canada Youth Ambassador, visit www.globalvision.ca or communicate with us at [email protected]. You can also check out the adventures of last years’ Parks Canada Youth Ambassadors on Facebook at www.facebook.com/omgparkscan.

It’s official, Jasper will receive a dose of wrestling mania.Professional wrestlers from the Canadian National

Wrestling Alliance (CNWA) will compete in five matches on Saturday, May 18 at the arena.

“Because it’s the first time we’re trying it, that’s why I chose the May long weekend,” said arena manager Peter Bridge. Given the weekend’s increased tourist population, the event has potential to make more money.

The long weekend has a history of unpredictable weather, which tends to turn people indoors and could help fill seats, he added.

Since this is the second time the arena will host its own event and the item wasn’t in the budget, the wrestling show was brought to council for decision.

“We [Bridge and Yvonne McNabb ,culture and recreation director] didn’t know we had the authority to go ahead and do it.” If the event completely flops, the municipality would be on

the hook for a $6,500 bill.Mayor Richard Ireland recognized the concern, but said

such a decision takes council more into the administrative process.

“That takes us out of the realm of governance where we belong, and into the realm of administration where we do not belong.”

Next year, events like this will be added into the budget, said McNabb, so there won’t be any need to come to council.

There’s risk associated with hosting the CNWA event, but the arena has potential to make a lot of money if the 2,000 seats sell. To break even, 400 seats need to sell.

“My motivation [to host this event] was try to bring the arena as close to breaking even as we can. It’s less burden on the taxpayers then,”said Bridge. Excess money generated by the arena would go to its project budget.

Bridge looks forward to bringing a different type of entertainment to Jasper. “It’s really exciting,” he said.

The May 18 event begins at 7 p.m. and CNWA guarantees that the show is suitable for all ages. Ticket prices haven’t been finalized, but they won’t be more than $20, he added.

The public is welcome to attend. Children from French immersion programs will be participating in the event. Dignitaries including the mayor will be on hand to give short speeches.

The flag includes the wild rose representing the Province of Alberta as well as the fleur-de-lys. The white and blue stripes on the flag represent the waters and

Ali (Matthias Schoenaerts) finds himself with a five-year-old child on his hands. Sam (Armand Verdure) is his son, but he hardly knows him. Homeless, penniless and friendless, Ali takes refuge with his sister Anna (Corinne Masiero) in Antibes, in the south of France. There things improve immediately. She puts them up in her garage, she takes the child under her wing and the weather is glorious.

Ali, a man of formidable size and strength, gets a job as a bouncer in a nightclub. He comes to the aid of Stéphanie (Marion Cotillard) during a nightclub brawl. Aloof and beautiful, Stéphanie seems unattainable, but in his frank manner Ali leaves her his phone number anyway.

Stéphanie trains orca whales at Marineland. When a performance ends in tragedy, a call in the night again brings them together. When Ali sees her next, Stéphanie is confined to a wheel chair: she has lost her legs and quite a few illusions.

Ali’s direct, unpitying physicality becomes Stéphanie’s lifeline, but Ali too is transformed by Stéphanie’s tough resilience. And Stéphanie comes alive again. As their stories intersect and diverge, they navigate a world where strength, beauty, youth and blood are commodities—but where trust, truth, loyalty and love cannot be bought and sold, and courage comes in many forms.

Rust and Bones is presented by the Jasper Film Club on Thursday, March 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chaba Theatre.

The Pilgrims Octet, Blue Diamond Quartet and Bow Geste Fiddlers are combining their talents to present “Winterlude, a Musical Feast for the Soul” in Jasper and Hinton on March 8 and 9. These three groups last performed together in April 2011. At Winterlude they will present some of their personal favourites from the past few years combined with new material selected just for this concert.

The Pilgrims Octet, which includes the Pathfinder Quartet, is made up of members of the Foothills Male Chorus (FMC). They are particularly known for their doo-wop and pop medleys. Among other numbers, this performance will bring back, by popular demand, a rocking tribute to the Blues Brothers, as well as Ian Tyson’s signature song Springtime in Alberta.

The Blue Diamonds mixed quartet has enjoyed being a part of the Jasper-Hinton-Edson musical community for several years and it is well known for close harmony singing by members Carol Wray, Kathleen Giffin, Paul Girard and Bob Udell. For Winterlude, the group has selected numbers from musical genres as disparate as Connie Kaldor’s Wood River and Alabama’s Mountain Music.

Bow Geste, an enthusiastic group of fiddlers from Hinton and Jasper, will perform as a group and also provide backup for other performers. Bow Geste has been together for several years, and performs on warm summer evenings along the Beaver Boardwalk in Hinton. These

impromptu performances are so popular that they are now used as selling points in advertisements for rentals in the vicinity. Folks who enjoyed the haunting theme of Ken Burns’ Civil War TV series, Ashokan Farewell, will also enjoy the Bow Geste performance of composer Jay Ungar’s more recent Lovers’ Waltz.

Jasper musician Monika Schaefer will perform her own composition Colours of Autumn and the latest member of the Pilgrims, Curtis Gillespie will be featured singing Trace Adkins’ I Can’t Outrun You. Paul Girard will dust off his doo-wop chops to sing the Platters’ Only You. Backyard Swing, a jazz trio formed just for this concert, will swing out on Autumn Leaves.

Tickets are $15 and are available at Tekarra Colour Lab in Jasper, the Old Grind and the library in Hinton and at the door.

Performances begin at 7:30 March 8 at the Jasper United Church and March 9 at the Hinton Alliance Church.

For further information, contact Bob Udell at 780-740-5477 or [email protected].

Donné Roberts is bringing his worldly musical infusions to the Rocky Mountains.

The musician was born in Madagascar, raised in Moscow and now resides in Toronto. His sound incorporates “west African rhythm, an east African base line and a blues guitar.”

Roberts sings mainly in his mother tongue Malagasy, but incorporates global musical influences into his compositions. His most recent album, Internation, is a prime example. It fuses his passionate guitar playing with Egyptian, Nigerian, North American-Aboriginal, Japanese, Russian and Celtic music.

“It took me a couple years to get that album done,” he said. “That’s just me.” He took time and care to properly blend the sounds and incorporate all the different cultures.

Roberts won a Juno in 2005 as part of The African Guitar Summit, a collective of nine Canadian musicians of African origin.

The group came together in three days and debuted in concert on the fourth day at CBC’s Glenn Gould Studio. Roberts remains active with the ensemble, which still tours occasionally.

Earlier in his music career, Roberts became a poster boy for the MTV generation when the network came to Russia at the end of 1997.

“They were looking for a black guy who spoke Russian and who looked like a musician.” He had long dreadlocks at the time, a deviation from the typical “clean cut people” on Russian TV. With previous experience interviewing people on camera, Roberts was the perfect candidate.

While working at the network for a year he hosted a ground-breaking, one-hour show called Mambassa. It was Russia’s first official program about “underground” music like rap, hip hop and rock. “Before that, Russian TV wouldn’t show any of those things.”

The show’s Saturday night 10 p.m. time slot cinched its popularity.

Roberts is currently in the process of conceiving a follow-up album to 2011’s Internation. A Canadian documentary filmmaker is also working on a film about

Roberts’ life, his experiences during his 23 years in Russia and his musical pursuits.

Roberts performs with percussionist Babel at the Legion on Friday, March 1. The show begins at 7 p.m.

It was a full house on Feb. 20 as talent took centre stage during the second annual Jasper’s Got Talent showcase.

A total of 16 acts performed during the competition, which is a fundraiser for the high school band. Band teacher Jonathan Thornton emceed the event, which featured many vocalists and included everything from ballads, a capella, and duets to instrument accompaniment. There were also guest performances from Michelle Glover Burstrom, Ryan Lackey and Band of Demons.

Halfway through the night, organizer Ann Thomas recognized Pat Wilson and Joyce Butler, two of the women “who started it all” and began the high school’s band program in 1977 after securing a loan for instruments and uniforms.

All performers brought their best to the stage, especially Shawna Woelke who performed a tricky and technical hula hoop act that had the audience on the edge of their seats, cheering for more. Another favourite was the Band of Demons’ closing performance of The Devil Went Down to Georgia, with Monika Schaefer playing a mean fiddle.

The Activity Centre was so saturated with talent it must have been difficult for the judges to pick only a handful of winners. Habitat for the Arts was supposed to pick an act to perform at their grand opening in the new library, but the decision was impossible. Instead, Marianne Garrah said that multiple performers will be asked to showcase their talents at Habitat’s opening and during other events, like Culture Days in September.

First place went to hula hooper Shawna Woelke of Spiral Motion. Second was awarded to Koh Okazaki and third to Chelsea Lowe, who both performed songs while playing their guitars. Ryan Davis also received recognition as the best new talent.

The event’s judges were Jayden Madsen, Tammy Vathje, Andrew Thomas and Jasmine Payant.

Funds raised by the event will benefit the school’s band programs, said Thornton. The next band fundraiser is the turkey dinner on March 7.

Jasper is celebrating more than 100 years of International Women’s Day by focusing on past, present and future accomplishments of women in the community.

“There’s great women in the community doing phenomenal stuff, ” said Ginette Marcoux, executive director of the Jasper Adult Learning Centre.

Women of all ages and cultures will come together on Tuesday, March 5 at the learning centre’s International Women’s Day Gala Dinner.

The “intergenerational event” has been fun in previous years and it’s great to see all sorts of women together under one roof, said Marcoux.

International Women’s Day began in the early 1900s with women rising against workplace oppression. Strides have been made since then, but progress is still necessary.

“Women are breaking into new areas of work,” with jobs in trades and other typically male-dominated sectors. However, when identical qualifications and jobs are compared between men and women, women earn only 67 per cent of what men make, said Marcoux.

Some changes have occurred in politics, but there’s room for more. There are currently 65 female MPs, which account for 21 per cent of all MPs. Alberta has two strong political female figures with Premier Alison Redford and Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith and other provinces like B.C. have elected female premiers, said Marcoux.

Although Kim Campbell held office briefly after Brian Mulroney resigned,

Canada has yet to elect a female prime minister.

We are at a “tipping point” with women making up 57 per cent of the total population in universities, said Marcoux, and there will be changes to the workforce when these women enter it over the next 10 years.

Locally, many women have contributed to Jasper and the global community, she said. Many retail shops in town are owned by women and numerous groups, like the Girl Guides, were started by women.

Previous generations of women have shattered the idea that females must choose either to raise a family or have a successful career. In fact, women have progressed from what feminists call “double shifting” to “triple shifting.” In addition to having a family and career, they also volunteer more in the community.

One side effect of women taking on more in the workplace, at home and in the community is the risk of burnout. It’s important to learn to say no and realize that “we should never be expected to do it all.

“It’s good that we’re calling on men to be more participatory,” she adds.

Part of Women’s Day is celebrating the women who will build tomorrow’s future and how women today can make things different and better for them. One important aspect is providing education on women’s rights and movements, of which little is taught during elementary and high school, said Marcoux.

“Women before us have broken the path, now we have to ask what is the glass ceiling today?”

The gala dinner will recognize past achievements of women in the community

Gala dinner to celebrate Jasper womenand discuss the future of women’s achievements locally and beyond. The aim is to celebrate all of Jasper’s women.

“We’re quite eclectic,” said Marcoux.The International Women’s Day Gala

Dinner is on Tuesday, March 5 at the

Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre. Men are also invited to attend.

The reception beings at 5:30 p.m. and dinner is at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for youth and available at the Jasper Adult Learning Centre.

In last weekend’s hometown tournament, Jasper’s Pee Wee Bears won their first three games against the Rocky Mountain house Storm (6–2), Redwater Rush (9–6) and Sherwood Park hawks (5–3). The Bears started strong in their final game against the Grande Prairie Knights and secured a three-point lead. By the third period, the Knights closed the scoring gap and snatched a 6–5 lead—and ultimately victory—with three minutes left on the clock. Despite a few Bears’ displays of unsportsmanlike conduct following their second place finish, overall the boys per-formed like a team, communicated well on the ice and made some outstanding plays. Matthew Park received the coveted player of the game award.

Last weekend the Jasper Novice Bears travelled to Edson to challenge the region’s best seven to nine-year-old hockey players. Playing three games over two days, this large Jasper team (21 boys and girls made the trip), made their town proud by winning two games against tough opponents. For those of you who have never taken in a novice hockey game, you don’t know what you’re missing. At this age you see some amazing playmaking from kids just learning the game and motivated by the pure joy of being out there on the ice with their friends in front of their enthusiastic parents and grandparents.

Saturday’s first game was a morning tilt against the Whitecourt Wolverines. Both teams had to shake out their roadtrip legs, but it was Jasper that struck first with an early goal from Dylan Dekker. Dekker is one of the handful of Bears who is clearly motivated by the net. He, along with teammates Lucas Oeggerli and Sarah Hayashi, has a drive that propels him towards the goal and keeps that red lamp lit game after the game. At the other end of the spectrum are the defense-minded players that keep the puck out of the net. Jacob Bartziokas, Michael Hayashi, Owen Kearnan, and Baden Koss fill this role for the Bears, shutting down opposing forwards and holding

the blue line. Filling the space between these roles are Sebastian Golla, Lucas Prud’Homme, Tanner Carlton and Dexter Fawcett, kids who play defence but are comfortable rushing the puck and have a scoring touch of their own.

All had a hand in the 7–4 victory in this first game that featured a special moment in the first period as Noah Carter banged in a Golla rebound for his first ever Novice marker inducing his parents to zestfully celebrate in the stands. And the third period featured another Apollo Hardman highlight as the first-year Bear potted an impressive backhander high in the Whitecourt cage, ending what was a mounting Wolverines comeback.

Saturday evening, game two pitted Jasper against the Grande Cache Rockies. Coaches Jim Koss and Hugo Prud’Homme put veteran Liam Crozier between the pipes for this one, opting to use his talents to keep the puck out of the net rather than putting the puck in the net as he is also capable. The game got off to an unusually slow start, but after two periods was knotted at 4–4. Then in the third, behind a stellar goaltending performance from Crozier, the Bears turned it on, netting six unanswered goals. Key to this success was the hard work from the up-and-coming troop of first year players like Janelle Tank, Donovan Fawcett and Dylan Skinner, all of whom had close calls around the net. These three are hard workers at practice

each week and are clearly motivated by learning the game and improving their skills. The final score was 10–4 Jasper, with goals from nine different players, an impressive stat for novice play. Sarah Hayashi was the lone multi-goal scorer with two in the same shift.

Game three was on Sunday morning against the Edson Outback. If we had a group of tired kids on the ice Saturday evening, Sunday morning was pyjama day. The hometown Outback iced a team of effective stick-handlers and despite solid goaltending from Dekker, our kids came up on the short end of a 7–1 final. The Bears’ lone goal was nonetheless an impressive wrister off the stick of Hardman. Ty Crozier came to play though, and when he was given the chance, found some space for himself on the ice. He’s an athlete to watch. Rachel Angebrandt had the next best chance for the Bears, barely missing on a feed from Golla in the slot, and showed some real jam making her way to the front of the net.

aries (mar 21 – apr 20)The urge to escape or hibernate until winter finally ends may be strong now. Some retreat periods can be productive but this one asks that all progress be of the inner spiritual sort. This may be contrary to your nature. Yet, swimming against the current is hardly practical. intend to be more empathetic and compassionate and/or to retreat in preparation for spring. Taurus (apr 20 – may 21)Sharing ideas, visions, plans and dreams with friends is likely now. With Mercury retrograde, allow yourself to brainstorm without feeling the need to take deliberate action now. The drafting stage of projects often undergoes many revisions. Make this clear to yourself and others to avoid misunderstandings. What you say now may be remembered long after. gemini (may 21 – Jun 21Getting a lot of exposure now may actually come easily. Yet, there are indications that you do and do not want it. Concerns about what others think are leading you to feel protective of your energy levels and your reputation. Silence is golden and though not typical of your sign, whether due to inner or outer chatter, now is a good time to practice it. cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)A meditative, contemplative and philosophical mood continues. Profound experiences and insights are more available than usual. A heightened sensitivity to the details may produce sublime realizations. The key is to be in-tune and aware lest this deep and delicate state be misinterpreted as depression. Make extra efforts to speak less and listen more for the next while. leo (Jul 22 – aug 23)You may feel like you have arrived at a crossroads. Entering the unknown often produces anxiety. However, there is no turning back. Endings are ever followed by new beginnings. The key is to persevere with faith and will. You would like to have a clearer vision of the future, but it is not yet available. Exercise patience with outer activity while you recalibrate internally. virgo (aug 23 – sep 22)Many changes are occurring especially on relationship fronts. Yet, it may seem as though you have entered a thick fog and so are unable to clearly see what is happening. it may take until mid- March at least before the confusion clears and perhaps even until mid-April. The more you can humbly, respectfully and faithfully cooperate with this delay the better.

libra (sep 22 – oct 22)We have all entered a delicate cycle. The currents are less predictable than ever, their directional flow uncertain. This could affect your health levels and overall lifestyle. it is extra important now that you be more deliberate to either preserve and ideally to increase the quality of your health. Fortify your immune system and sanitize your living environment… scorpio (oct 22 – nov 21)This effulgence of Piscean influence may prove to be a boon for you more than many others. it signifies a very fertile imagination. As ever, how you use your free will to engage this energy pattern is important. For now it may prove most worthwhile to gather and accumulate ideas, insights and inspirations and to identify approaches worthy of your emulation. sagittarius (nov 21 – dec 21)Many emotions are flowing through you now and affecting you at core levels of your psyche. These may simply be inspiring you to make changes close to home, to fix, clean, uplift and beautify your environment. This impulse may still be in its gestation phase but if you tune-in and bring attention to it, the ideas and strategies will materialize.

capricorn (dec 21 – Jan 19)it is ironic that sometimes our clearest visions and deepest insights come about when our conscious focus is diffused, like now. As though in a lucid dream, reality seems different somehow, yet you can take deliberate action. You are being offered the opportunity to step away from the norm. Whether you do so for a little while or forever, is for you to decide.

aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)Dreams of what might be are dancing in your mind. The challenge is to match these with your values, priorities and practical reality. The key now is that you assert a perceptual lead. This means the more you can perceive the possibilities the more you will be able to conceive them. So, you job now is to dream, visualize and imagine.

Pisces (Feb 19 – mar 20)Many hopes, wishes, plans and ambitions are gestating in your mind. Next week’s New Moon in your sign will serve to activate these more fully into reality. Still, you may require some added assistance to actualize your intentions. Take the initiative to reach out to your key connections. Be ready and willing to cooperate and avoid trying to go it alone.

Winter Carnival a blast for kids in Jasper


On Thursday, Feb. 21 and Friday, Feb. 22, children from Jasper Elementary School and École Desrochers enjoyed a Winter Carnival in the spirit of the Quebec Winter Carnival.

Children moved through a course of different games and fun activities, which included tug-o-war, the ice canoe race, sledding, ice cube race and three-man snowshoes. During the activities, children also had a chance to take a break and enjoy

some hot chocolate.Much to the delight of many, Bonhomme,

the official winter carnival ambassador joined the children in the fun. In Quebec, the winter carnival lasts 17 days and Bonhomme is a celebrity. Since first appearing at carnival in Quebec in 1955, Bonhomme has been the carnival’s ambassador, and a public personality. According to his profile, he was a childhood friend of Santa Claus, enjoys ice cream and sorbet, his favourite colours are red and white and his biggest dream is to eliminate climate change.

On Thursday, Feb. 21 Brianna Bossio received the Bronze Academic Governor Generals at Jasper Junior/Senior high School. She is currently studying engineering at the University of Alberta.


A math class at Jasper Junior/Senior High School was interrupted on Thursday, Feb. 21 for a very special reason. Brianna Bossio, who graduated from Jasper Junior/Senior High School in 2012 and is currently studying engineering at the University of Alberta, returned to her favourite class, along with members of her family in order to receive a prestigious honour. Principal Mark Crozier presented Bassio with the Bronze Academic Governor General’s Award.

Since 1873, the Governor General academic medals have been encouraging academic excellence across the nation and are considered to be the most prestigious award students in Canadian schools can receive. The medals recognize outstanding scholastic achievements of students in Canada and are awarded to the student graduating with the highest average from a high school, as well as from an approved college or university program. Past recipients include Pierre Trudeau, Kim Campbell, Robert Stanfield and Gabrielle Roy. The bronze medal is awarded at the secondary school level.

After presenting the award Crozier asked Bossio if she had any words of wisdom for the math class.

“Oh, it’s hard,” she said, generating chuckles from those in attendance. “But, it’s great,” she added with a

smile.Bossio told the Fitzhugh that she wasn’t at all expecting

the medal but was most pleased about it.“I was lucky to have good teachers in high school,” Bossio

declared. “It’s a real honour.”As Bossio and her family were leaving the high school

they passed the hall of fame where pictures of past Governor General medal recipients were on display.

“This is where her picture will hang,” Bossio’s grandmother declared proudly.
