The 4 Wing players were augmented by a goalie from Moose Jaw and three skaters from Wainwright. Jeff Gaye The Cold Lake Wolves have won the Prairie Region women’s hockey championship. The team won both of its preliminary games at the championships in Edmonton last week, earning first place and a bye into Friday’s final. Round-robin scores were 2-1 over Winnipeg and 3-1 over Edmonton. The Wolves were augmented by goalie Amanda Whalen from Moose Jaw and three skaters from Wainwright. Cold Lake rode Whalen’s perfect goaltending performance and a potent scoring punch to defeat Winnipeg 4-0 in the final. The Wolves entered the championships with modest expectations. Capt Jackie Zacher, the team’s coach, had said before the tournament that they were treating this year as part of a development phase. “Honestly, coming down here, our goal was to stay close,” she said. “We thought we’d be the weakest team.” Capt Zacher was impressed by the players’ spirit as much as by their skill. “We really came together as a team,” she said. “If we had a bit of a rough period, everybody stayed positive. They came together and played well, and we used our strengths to win.” “I’m so proud of them and it feels awesome.” Wainwright Wins Hoops Title Photo by Jeff Gaye Wainwright won the Prairie Region basketball championship on Friday, downing Moose Jaw 72 - 52 in the final. Wainwright finished behind Moose Jaw and defending-champion Edmonton in the round robin, then toughed out a win over Edmonton in the semi-final. Although Cold Lake hosted the tournament, they were unable to field a team. MCpl Rob West of 410 Squadron augmented the Wainwright squad.

Effective January 1, 2015, members are no longer required to pay a deductible before benefits kick in. The deductible amount was $60 for single members and $100 for families. With the change, members will only have to pay their 20 per cent cost share on covered services and prescriptions starting with their first transaction of every year. Also in the good news column are new benefits enhancements that have been in place since October. These include up to $1,000 for elective laser eye surgery; repairs, replacement and servicing of sleep apnea devices up to $300 annually; and a doubling of the maximum annual benefit for psychological services to $2,000. The bad news is that premiums will be increasing for retired members. Under the present program, retirees pay 25 per cent of their premium while the federal government provides the other 75 per cent. Member premiums will go up on April 1, 2015 and every April over the next four years until a 50-50 split is reached. Spot a Typo? Coffee’s On Us.

Jeff Gaye I should watch more basketball. The big-time showbiz of the NBA leaves me cold, but I really enjoyed covering the Prairie Region tournament last week. When you strip away the glitzy trappings of professional basketball (or “roundball” as the hip sports scribes call it) you’re left with a game that’s fast, graceful, skillintensive and surprisingly physical. But help me out here, basketball players. I have a question that’s been bugging me for years. What is it about free throws? Why do even great players miss so many of them? Considering the many difficult shots good players make in the course of a game, from variable distances and with defenders in their faces, why do even the best players miss an unhurried shot that Tuesday, January 27, 2015 comes from the same spot every time? Compare a high-level basketball player to a high-level curler. A skip – an amateur – who has to slide a rock 120 feet to within two feet of the pin to win a game or a championship will usually make the shot. The rocks are different from one venue to another, the ice is different and it even changes through the course of a game. But a pro basketball player – who has usually been playing since junior high, who has received excellent coaching at every level, who was selected for a college team and completed a four-year university program in throwing a ball through a hoop (yes I know, but I mean really), was drafted to play pro ball, is paid millions and still trains hard and practices every day – can miss a shot that is exactly the same as one he has been throwing since childhood. I know it’s not nerves or pressure. These guys do amazing things under pressure, a free throw in the second quarter of a regular-season game simply doesn’t scare them. And I promise you I couldn’t do any better. But for me at least, this remains one of the enduring mysteries from the wide world of sports. *** Another mystery: the solution to the Club 41 Crossword puzzle this week. It beat me.

Tammy Buchanan Is there such a thing as an instant habit? The best way to develop a habit quickly may be to use “action triggers.” For example, instead of stating your habit will be to go to the gym regularly, you may implement an action trigger and ask a friend who already goes to pick you up on his way there. Another example is instead of saying your habit will be eating healthy to lose weight, you might implement an action trigger and eat a bowl of soup before your lunch and again before your dinner so Publié hebdomadairement avec la permission du Commandant de l’escadre, le col Kenny.

Peter Gollwitzer, Professor of Psychology at New York University, is one of the primary researchers in instant habits and action triggers. He calls them implementation intentions or “if-then plans.” An if-then plan consists of “if situation x happens, then I will perform behaviour y.” For example, to eat healthy while dining out, if I go to Humpty’s restaurant for breakfast, I will then choose the veggie pan-scrambler one size smaller. Gollwitzer suggests that the value Health Promotion Derek Coe & Tammy Buchanan Health Can Be Catching of these action triggers is that you are pre-loading a decision. Deciding what you will eat at a restaurant before you get there helps with not exhausting your willpower. One study showed young adults ate 50 per cent more fruit and vegetables per day when they implemented an if-then plan. Business leader and blogger Mike Torres suggests doing four things to implement the if-then plan. First, define your specific statements using the if-then plan will and write them down. improve your chances of Next, use your statements attaining your goal.

If we listen to the news, the oil fields in Alberta are quickly adjusting to this economic reality. The companies are slowing down production and hiring fewer people. Cold Lake is no longer a “boom” town. Many fear that the future of Cold Lake is that it is in a bubble that will bust. However, this period may only last a short time. I heard that the last time a slow down happened it was for about three years. In the mean time we have to confront our fears because many of us have bought expensive homes that may now be worth less than when we bought them. How do we deal with the fear of what might happen in the future? Fear and anxiety go hand in hand. Our lives can be full of worry. We worry so much about the future that we forget to live in the now. Stephen Leacock wrote, “Life, we learn my eyes, and taking too late, is in the living, a deep breath, awww, in the tissue of every I see what helps, the day and hour.” Live for “breath.” Even now I the now and do not take a breath, I hold worry about a future it in and try to only focus on my next breath. that may happen.

Capricorn - December 22 - January 19 Just when you lose all hope, things take a turn for the better. What a relief, Capricorn. Fresh faces bring new ideas to the table, allowing for more progress than expected. Aquarius - January 20 - February 18 Cheers, Aquarius. Cheers to you for coming to the aid of an old friend. Cheers to you for taking the initiative on a project at work. Cheers to you for being you. Pisces - February 19 - March 20 Chilly days need not make for chilly attitudes, Pisces. Smile and look on the bright side. Every cloud has a silver lining, even the big one lurking. Aries - March 21 - April 19 It takes two to tango, Aries. Accept responsibility for the part you played and make amends for your actions. A new avenue is explored at work. Taurus - April 20 - May 20 Make no mistake, Taurus. Someone is watching and waiting to capitalize on your errors. Proceed with caution. Long lines test your patience. Gemini - May 21 - June 21 Phooey, Gemini. Sincerity is always appreciated, even in situations like this one. Be honest in your assessment and sincere in your suggestions, and you will be heard. Cancer - June 22 - July 22 Flattery will get you nowhere, Cancer. Stop with the praise and focus on the job at hand. The nonchalance of a friend surprises you. Relax. They will come to their senses. Leo - July 23 - August 22 Moderation is key, Leo. Less can be more. A check of the finances reveals the need for further budgeting. A minor illness clears up with rest. Virgo - August 23 - September 22 Easy, Virgo. Not everyone can go at your pace. Slow down and give others time to catch up. Then attack the project together, and you’ll finish ahead of schedule. Libra - September 23 - October 22 Tsk-tsk, Libra. All of your pleas for help fall on deaf ears. Look to someone outside of your inner circle to come to your rescue. Thanks is not enough. Scorpio - October 23 - November 21 Enough, Scorpio. Instead of trying to justify your actions, why not just confess and make amends. You had a hand in what went down whether you admit it or not. Sagittarius - November 22 - December 21 Savvy Sagittarius. You really know how to stretch a dollar. Your pal, on the other hand, could use some help. A string of tales begins to unravel.
