Help fill R & D hot tub for food bankBy Lori Larsen
R&D Hot Tubs is once again asking for the help of Camrose and area residents in filling a hot tub for the food bank.
R&D will be taking donations of non-perishable items between now at 5 p.m. Dec. 23.
“Our goal is to com-pletely fill a seven by seven foot hot tub,” said R&D Hot Tubs owner Doneal Greipl.
R&D Hot Tubs’ 2013 Fill a Hot Tub for the Food Bank was a tremendous success.
“We received a phenom-enal response from area residents,” said Doneal. “We took three vans full of food to the food bank and after-wards presented them with a cheque for $500.
R&D Hot Tubs has a strong history of giving back to the community since opening is doors in 2008. Organizations that have benefitted from its support include Camrose Friends of STARS, Centra Cam Vocational Training Association and the Augus-tana Students’ Association (Rocky Road Ice Cream Fantasy).
“We feel it is important to support the communi-ty that supports us,” said Doneal. “We consider our-selves fortunate to be living in such a giving and caring community.”
R&D Hot Tubs is locat-ed at 3843F-44 Avenue, Camrose. Hours of opera-tion are Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Further details on the Fill a Hot Tub program may be obtained by calling 780-679-4003.

By Dan JensenHow well your body is
able to fight exposure to the influenza virus this fall and winter will depend on whether or not you have been immunized.
“The influenza vaccine
is not perfect and like some vaccines it can cause some side effects, but if you do get the flu it will help reduce the severity of the illness,” explained Pharmasave own-er Dean Jarrett, who offered public vaccinations at the
Camrose Aquatic Centre Nov. 9 and City Hall Nov. 10. “Making sure you get a shot is one of the most effective things you can do to protect yourself. Research shows the vac-cine can decrease compli-

The influenza vaccine is probably better this year than it has been in the years past.
“We have four vaccines that we are using,” said Jar-rett. “The fluviral or influ-vac vaccines are the ones we administer the most but we also offer a nasal spray for people who are needlephobic
or children. We also offer a fluid vaccine for people who are 65 years or older.”
Jarrett typically offers vaccinations to more than 700 people every year, with very few of them experienc-ing any adverse effects.
“It used to be that Alberta Health Services did most of the vaccinations at special clinics,” he said, “but this year but it looks like the pharmacies are going to do more. We are going to prevent more cases of the flu than we were able to last year.”

Continued from page 8Influenza was the
cause of 2,000 hospital-izations and 200 deaths (respiratory flu) in Alberta in 2015, and resulted in millions of lost working hours. The virus gets into the air when someone with the disease coughs, sneezes or even talks. It can also be spread by touching objects that have been coughed or sneezed on by someone who has the virus. Symptoms include a fever of 38.5 C or higher that starts suddenly, cough, headache, muscle aches, loss of appetite and feeling tired.
The risk of being infect-ed is the highest with chil-dren between six and 59 months of age, pregnant women, people 65 years of age and over, and people with chronic health prob-lems.
“Complications of influ-enza can include pneumo-nia, ear and sinus infec-tions and dehydration,” says MyHealthAlberta.ca. “Influ-enza can also make chronic medical problems (conges-tive heart failure, asthma and diabetes) worse.”
It is not unusual for new influenza vaccines to appear every year.
“When viruses change so do the vaccines,” says MyHealthAlberta. “The World Health Organiza-tion identifies the strains of influenza that they predict will be the most common during the upcoming sea-son. This information is used to develop the vac-cine to protect against these strains. The immu-nity you get from your vac-cine decreases over time, which means you need to get immunized every year to stay protected.”
The live influenza vac-cine is not recommended for persons who have a history of severe allergic reactions to it in the past, who have severe asthma, a weak immune system, are pregnant, have an egg allergy, or are younger than two or older than 59.
Influenza vaccines undergo laboratory and field testing and must pass a strict licencing procedure with the fed-eral government before they can be used. Once a vaccine has been approved for use, every lot is tested for safety and quality. You cannot get inf luenza disease from the influenza vac-cine.

NewIndigenousStudiescourseoffered atAugustanaBy Kate Gael
Augustana is at the forefront of a new way of teaching. In contrast with the popular drive towards massive open online cours-es (MOOCs), our professors have been experimenting with supported educational outreach to smaller classes across the continent.
Augustana’s associate dean of research, Dr. Rox-anne Harde, is one of the principal investigators of the hybrid program trial.
“The courses are taught online, but every campus has a mentor for its students who are tak-ing a course from another campus,” she explains.
Brittany Johnson (BA ’15), was the mentor for last year’s winter courses and will be the mentor for Augustana students tak-ing hybrid courses in the future.
Three new hybrid courses available to Augus-tana students combine the flexibility of online learn-ing, on-campus mentor-ship, and access to interna-tionally renowned experts. These interdisciplinary courses have been devel-oped across the COPLAC (Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges) network, and several will offer the opportunity to travel and earn credit for hands-on research.
Hybrid Courses inAboriginal Studies 3
Marc Becker of Tru-man State University is offering Indigenous Peo-ples in Latin America, which will examine chang-es in those communities and ethnic identities from the time of pre-conquest civilizations to the present.
Kevin Whalen of the University of Minnesota Morris (UMM) is offering Native Strategies for Sur-vival, 1880-1920, which will explore the events and policies that sought to eliminate American Indi-an communities and cul-tures and the strategies the populations developed to survive.
Lastly, Augustana’s own Jérôme Melançon will teach Colonialism and Rec-onciliation, which draws on Indigenous and settler per-spectives to explore the his-tory and legacy of colonial-ism; its institutions, includ-ing Residential Schools; and its legacy in Canadian culture and politics.

The following are some interesting tidbits to share with your loved ones this holiday season. Each year, more than three billion Christmas cards are sent to friends and family.
In 350 AD, Pope Julius I, bishop of Rome, proclaimed Dec. 25 the official celebration date for the birth of Jesus Christ. Many historians and theologians have surmised that Christ really wasn’t born this time of year, thanks to imagery and information from the Bible.
Christmas carols began as an English custom called “was-sailing.” Individuals toasted neighbours to a long and healthy life.
Despite the common tale that three wise men paid homage to baby Jesus, the Bible never specifically calls out a number. Similarly, there’s no specific indication that they visited the infant Jesus. Their visit may have occurred when Jesus was older.

look was inspired by writ-ings from The Knickerbock-ers of New York and imag-ery from Clement Clarke Moore’s “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” Moore denied authoring the famous poem for 15 years after it was pub-lished anonymously, feeling the poem was beneath his talents.
Santa has his own offi-
cial postal code. It’s H0 H0 H0.
The song “Jingle Bells” was originally written for Thanksgiving and not Christmas. People loved it so much that the lyrics were changed to fit Christmas.
Christmas trees typi-cally grow for 15 years before they’re cut and sold. This means the trees sold today were likely planted in 2000. Before turkey, the
traditional Christmas meal served in England was a pig’s head and mustard.
Male reindeer tend to shed their antlers in the winter. This means Santa’s reindeer are likely female.
Christ may have been born in a cave rather than a manger. According to the gospel of Luke, the shep-herds that helped find shel-ter for Mary to give birth
kept their flock in a cave. The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is built over a cave called the Grotto of the Nativity, where Jesus is believed to have been born.
Many people may be less inclined to stand under mistletoe waiting for a kiss if they knew what “mistle-toe” means in the ancient Germanic language. It lit-erally means “dung on a twig,” for the bird who eats
the berries and then leaves seeds in droppings to prop-agate new plants.
Each holiday season, PNC Wealth Management calculates the costs of the gifts in the song, “The 12 Days of Christmas.” The price index for the gifts went from $12,673 in 1984 to more than $24,000 in 2011. The most expen-sive gift is the swimming swans.

Each week now through Christmas, we are featuring at least one Booster reader's all-time favourite Christmas dish. If you want to share a recipe that is near and dear to you, or that has proven to be popular with your family or guests,
…we will give you a special home-team apron as our way of
saying thank you.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups (6 oz) Walnut pieces
3/4 cup Poppy seeds
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Unsalted butter at room temperature
5 eggs at room temperature, separated
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Whipping Cream
Gluten FreeWalnut Poppy
Seed Cake
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and sprinkle the bottom and sides with sugar, tapping out any excess.
Pulse the walnuts, poppy seeds and 1/3 cup of the sugar in a food procecessor until fi nely ground.
Beat the butter and 1/3 cup of the sugar until light and fl uff y. Add the egg yolks and vanilla and beat until well-blended.
In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy, then slowly pour in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar and whip until the whites hold a soft peak. Fold the whites into the butter mixture. Fold in the ground nuts and poppy seeds and fold until incorporated. Spoon about a third of a cup of this batter into the cream and then fold this into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake to room temperature, and then chill it completely before removing from the pan and serving.
The cake will keep for up to three days refrigerated.
*If you have access to ground poppy seeds from an eastern European grocery, those are preferable (and can be used in the same measure), but the recipe does work deliciously well with regular whole poppy seeds.

The tradition of kissing underneath the mistletoe likely stems from the belief that mistletoe bestows fertility and is often associated with the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a period of merrymaking that pre-dated Christmas. In 18th century England, a young lady standing underneath the mistletoe could not refuse to be kissed. Once kissed, the kiss would signify deep romance or eternal friendship.
History also suggests that mistletoe was a symbol of peace. In Scandinavia, mistletoe was considered a plant of peace. When standing underneath the mistletoe, enemies could declare a truce and spouses could end any marital turmoil.

Continued from page 11If students take either Whalen’s or Melançon’s classes
in the winter semester, they can join the spring course, taught by Whalen and Becca Gerken of the UMM. This course provides students an opportunity to go to the University of Minnesota Morris, the site of an American Indian boarding school, where they will study the general history of boarding schools and their ongoing legacy.
In these hybrid courses, students discuss weekly readings online and submit assignments electronically. They meet every week with the onsite faculty mentor, who assists with technical issues and reading comprehen-sion. The mentor also collects feedback from the students regarding the effectiveness of the courses and distance learning system.
Overall, students have found that the weekly assign-ments and the discussion boards have led to a positive experience: discussions with peers and being able to return to certain conversations at any time has proven to be an invaluable asset of the online format.
The four upcoming courses are available to Augustana as the only Canadian member of COPLAC, an interna-tional association of post-secondary institutions located across North America, through a Teagle grant. The Teagle Foundation supports educational endeavors, and has fund-ed COPLAC for three years to see if its members can find a way to share courses online. The goal is to see if more, or all, COPLAC members can start to offer native stud-ies minors and eventually native studies majors as well. The grant is currently in the middle of its second year, and courses are already being set up into the 2016/2017 academic year.
“The ideal is that, at the end of the grant, we will all have sustainable models in place so that we can continue to deliver the programs as hybrid courses,” Harde says. “The investment is not huge, though we want to ensure we can continue to find funding for students to attend spring courses. We are aiming for an array of multidisciplinary credits so we can comfortably offer a minor.”

November 9RCMP attended the scene of a burnt and stolen truck
in the area of Township Road 481 and Range Road 214 as well as a second vehicle stolen from the same area. The burned vehicle, a 2003 Ford SRW, was found to have been reported stolen out of Bentley. A red 1988 GMC GMT-400 is still reported as missing.
RCMP were notified of a scam originating out of Nige-ria involving items for sale on Kijiji. Buyers (in Nigeria) are offering to send funds to help establish a Paypal account. The funds never arrive and the buyer insists the seller send the funds back. Upon sending the funds back, the money is withdrawn immediately and the buyer requests more money, stating the original funds are never received.

len as well as theft from another vehicle in the area. The Ford was later recovered in Wetaskiwin.

Internship with Mission Hill Family Estate Winery in Kelowna at the Terrace Restaurant under executive winery chef Chris Stew-art and executive sous chef Patrick Gaylor.
The master of ceremo-nies for the event was Cal-gary’s notable food critic
and writer John Gilchrist. The mystery box ingredi-ents included beluga len-tils, shemiji mushrooms, pork sirloin, beets, Swiss chard, quails eggs, tofu and squash.
Huseby had the privi-lege of cooking with Chef Pizarro and his team from
Avec Bistro. The first course from the Avec Bistro team was homemade pork sau-sage sautéed until crisp and tossed in a beet jus with beluga lentils, and pickled shemiji mushrooms topped with a fried beet chip and garnished with micro greens.
By Murray GreenMadison Huseby, a
Bawlf School graduate and current SAIT profes-sional cooking student, was involved in Calgary’s black box cooking competi-tion, where the head chefs of six well known Calgary restaurants competed with their ambitious pupils in Calgary’s next Chef To Be cooking competition.
The event held was on Oct. 15 at the SAIT Culi-nary Campus, downtown Calgary, with two catego-ries: Judges’ Choice and Peoples’ Choice.
There were 10 ingredi-ents, six teams, four hours and 300 tasting meals to serve.
The black box com-petition put students and their associated head chefs together with 10 specifically chosen ingredients to pre-pare two tasting meals for an audience of 150, with no prior preparation. The brigade included the com-peting chef, one SAIT alumni, one current student and a fourth member of the chef’s choice.
Teams were Avec Bistro and Chef Danielle Pizzaro, as well as chefs from Rouge Calgary, Post Hotel Lake Louise, Anju, River Café and Cannibale.
The goal of the event was to help raise aware-ness of both the SAIT culi-nary school and the local food scene of Calgary. One chosen student received a $5,000 SAIT scholarship. This exciting interactive event was a great environ-ment for all competitors to promote themselves and have the pride of being on a competitive team.
The SAIT alumni and current students gained real and practical experi-ence and were part of a win-ning cooking team. They also had the fun of cooking alongside some of Alberta’s best chefs.
The competition was also a challenge and a chance for SAIT culinary students to grow their expo-sure to different ingredi-ents, which was intended to promote curiosity and intrigue in the local food system.
Along with the 12 plates from six of Alberta’s most notable chefs were 12 com-plete wine pairings for each dish.

The second course from Avec Bistro was crispy bacon with piped squash puree, served with handmade tor-tellini stuffed with a mixture of sautéed Swiss chard, gar-lic, tofu, quails eggs and goat cheese, topped with a garnish of fresh chervil and micro greens.
Congratulations were given to this up and coming young chef and the team from Avec Bistro for taking home the Peoples’ Choice award.
Huseby is busy cooking in Calgary finishing her second year of profession-al cooking. She is hoping to join the SAIT Culinary Arts Skills Team for a sec-ond year and compete at the provincial Skills Alberta Competition in Edmonton in May 2016. She will be con-tinuing her culinary educa-tion in baking and pastry arts and is excited to see where this journey takes her.
Chef Daniel Pizarro, apprentice Madison Huseby and the Avec Bistro team won the Peoples’ Choice award in Calgary.
