Consider this scenario: You need to be away from home for a number of days, perhaps for work or even to take a vacation. But you also have an elderly parent who relies on your support, and routine is important to them. What do you do? 

It’s actually a quite common question, and addressing it and other, similar concerns is the mission at Bayshore HealthCare. 

The August Long Weekend Online Auction is back again for another year — a promising opportunity for people to turn equipment, household goods, and more into cash with a little help from the experts.

Are you nearsighted? Probably.  

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common condition where the eye adjusts itself to make it easier to see up close. Over time, this tends to make distance vision blurry. Management of this condition is the focus, no pun intended, at Sage Creek Eye Centre.  

“We’re seeing this condition start to creep up with younger and younger ages due to our setting,” says Doctor Kelly Enns, owner and optometrist at Sage Creek Eye Centre. “Being on tablets and cell phones, reading a ton, and indoor time in general.”

More than 20 years after launching an arcade room in Red Deer’s Gasoline Alley, Jim Roth has decided to “Play Again.” He even came out of retirement to do it. 

  The Boardwalk (on Gaetz) Entertainment Centre combines the nostalgia of 80s-style arcades with modern, interactive gaming – resulting in a sort of Coney Island theme with additional attractions such as laser tag, a 7D Dark Ride, mini bowling and spaces for birthday parties and other events. 

If you are old enough, I’m sure you will remember the news that rocked the hockey world on August 9, 1988. Peter Pocklington had traded Wayne Gretzky to the LA Kings for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, 15 million cash and first round draft picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993. I was, of course, and still am an Edmonton Oiler fan and felt the same disappointment and betrayal that most oiler fans experienced.

It probably was the biggest sports deal of the time but most certainly was for hockey!

While his official titles are owner and founder, Ray Klassen of Pioneer Wood Designs sees his role as one of team leader and manager for a group of dreamers, planners, and artists.
