Weather has alwaysbeen the heart of mostconversations but thiswinter discussions sur-rounding the unbeliev-ably warm conditionshave become part ofdaily banter.

The conversation oftenturns to why this winterhas turned out to be oneof the warmest winterson record and if therewere any signs last fallthat would have warnedof what was to come?

For most of us, themild winter has meantno snow to shovel andclear, and clean high-ways to travel.

However, for thosewho are in constant con-tact with nature, a warmwinter takes on a wholedifferent meaning.

Neil Stratton, ownerand operator of L.O.S.T.Arrow Archery inWainwright, has spenthis life in the great out-doors and notes seasonalchanges with a keen eye.

Stratton, who is also aWilderness SurvivalInstructor, has operated awilderness survival busi-ness for almost 30 years.

He teaches courses forcolleges, universities,sporting shows, andmany oilfield-relatedcompanies, includingfree instruction inschools with youngsters.

That business is called

L.O.S.T. Survival Inc.which stands forLearning Of SurvivalTechnology/Techniquesand he adapted the namefor his archery business.

He says there are oftenindicators and hints innature of what is to comewith the weather, butadds with his wily senseof humour, “Most yearswe just think they (theindicators) are justlying.”

Stratton says he noticedlast fall that although therobins did flock up, thebirds did not appear tobe in a hurry to leaveAlberta.

“In fact, we saw robinsin November... some-thing I don't think I haveever seen. The hawks,which have nowrebounded in numbersand are a pleasure towatch, were also here inNovember.

“The deer didn't seemto carry the body fat theyusually do before a hardwinter. For a while wethought the herds werein poor shape due to thelack of body fat on har-vested deer,” he said.

Stratton says these allcould have been read aspossible signs of comingmild weather.

When asked if wildlifeknow how to predictweather or know some-thing we don't, Strattonanswers with a definite,“I'm sure they do."

“However, I don'tthink they can predict an

entire winter of snow orcold, but I believe theymay sense what weathersystem we are in andwhat weather we aregoing to have that win-ter," he added.

“My momma snowyowl that perches on herfavourite telephone polenear my home justshowed up on Jan. 29.The latest she has everbeen here before isDecember and earliesthas been November.

“And a neighbouractually saw a robin justthis last week,” he said.

That neighbour is notthe first to report a robinsighting in January.

There have been anumber of calls to theCaribou Publishingnewspaper offices frompeople saying they haveseen robins in their backyards as early as mid-January.

and flooding, tornados,and wild thunder-storms.”

And odd that heshould point that outbecause according toThe Old Farmer’sAlmanac, the unsea-sonal weather we havehad this winter willcarry into April andMay; it is predicted tobe much cooler thannormal.

The Almanac is pre-dicting some mid-month flurries for

February, accompaniedby very cold weather,in some casesapproaching minus35°C.

It says Feb. 20-23will be mostly fair anddry but cold on FamilyDay in Alberta andSaskatchewan.

The period of Feb.24-29 is predicted to bemilder, then somesnow is predicted forthe rockies and prai-ries, followed by fairand much colderweather.

It says wet conditionsare in store for themonth of March andthat we may see some

late-season snowfallsin mid-and late April.

Summer rainfall isexpected to be normalbut temperatures willbe slightly above nor-mal.

Looking to next fall,the prediction iswarmer and slightlywetter than normal.

Whatever the causebehind the above-nor-mal winter tempera-tures we have beenenjoying, one thing isfor sure; this winterhas been one for therecord books and willbe one referred to inconversations for yearsto come.

The past few months have had many folks wondering just how to dress whenstepping outdoors. Even the trusted Canadian Edition of The Old FarmersAlmanac didnʼt seem to offer pinpoint answers. And although heavy jackets andtoques were at times replaced by sunglasses and rain gear, the warm weatherdid help the winter months slip away quickly this year and has brought the prom-ise of spring much closer.

Leslie CholowskyEditorThe Community Press

On the 22nd FamilyDay for Alberta families,an initiative now in itssecond year asks you tounplug from your elec-tronic devices and spendsome quality time withyourself, your family, oryour community.

One local group, theFlagstaff Beaver EarlyChildhood DevelopmentCoalition has taken thatone step further andissued a challenge to allFlagstaff and Beaver res-idents to log the timethey spent unplugged onthe group's Facebookpage, including informa-tion about what they didand even welcomes youto send pictures.

The community whoseresidents log the mostnumber of hours willwin bragging rights forbeing the 'Best un-plugged community tocelebrate Family Day.'

There is much statisti-cal information that sup-ports this initiative,which started in 2011and has grown to wheregroups across theprovince are challengingeach other's communi-ties.

According to theFamily and CommunitySupport ServicesAssociation of Alberta(FCSSAA), 79 per cent ofkids would rather playwith their parents thanwatch TV or use theinternet.

The Flagstaff BeaverEarly ChildhoodDevelopment Coalition,together with supportfrom the FCSSAA, is urg-ing people to take up thechallenge, and connectwith their kids.

The group has a list ofactivities families can dotogether, which don'tjust include sports, butfamily games, bakingand cooking together,reading books andtelling stories, doingcrafts together as a fami-ly.

Tammy Ortman,Coordinator for theCoalition, knows thatevery time families dosomething together,everyone wins, studieshave shown that whenfamilies connect to eachother, they connect totheir friends and neigh-bours too, and that

makes everyone's quali-ty of life better.

Ortman and theCoalition's day-to-daygoals are to gather infor-mation from residentsabout early childhooddevelopment, and to usethat information to helpdevelop programming,help the Alberta govern-ment decide what pro-grams to implement, andeducate families on theimportance of early edu-cational and familyactivities.

Ortman quotes factsfrom Alberta Educationwhen she says, "Every $1invested in preschoolprogramming yields a800 per cent return.Every $1 invested in theschool years yields a 200per cent return and $1invested in the postschool years produces a100 per cent return."

So it's never too late,but the earlier you start,the greater the rewards.

Many communitiesaround the area holdspecial activities onFamily Day for youngfamilies to participate in.

Ortman says thatinformation the Coa-lition has gathered saysthat young families inthe area would like to seeeven more family activi-ties for them to take partin.

Sometimes it's hard toknow what you can do,especially when theweather is not participat-ing, but internet sites likeparentlinkalberta.ca cangive parents plenty ofideas of things you cando at home withoutneeding any specialkinds of supplies orequipment.

Family Day was firststarted in Alberta in1990, and we were theonly province to have aFebruary statutory holi-day until Saskatchewanproposed it as well, in

2007.Quebec established the

Family Day holiday in2007, and residents ofBritish Columbia willcelebrate it for the firsttime in 2013.

Manitoba started cele-brating Louis Riel Day in2007 on the same date,and PEI introducedIslander Day in 2009.

There is some pressurefrom governments ofn o n - p a r t i c i p a t i n gprovinces and territoriesto follow suit, but whilea few politicians haveused the Family Day hol-iday as an election prom-ise, for New BrunswickPremier Shawn Grahamwhen campaigning forre-election in 2010, andfor Canada as a whole in2008 by NDP leader JackLayton, no otherprovince or territory hasannounced plans to rec-ognize a similarFebruary family-orient-ed holiday.

Federally regulatedemployers like the Postoffice, or RCMP, often donot recognize the holi-day either.

Ortman says if youaren't one of the luckyones who gets a longweekend on Family Day,you can choose anotherday to participate in theUnplugged challenge,just be sure you don'twait too long.

Check your newspa-per, town or villagenewsletter, bulletinboards, or schoolnewsletter for informa-tion about Family DayActivities in your munic-ipality.

Whatever your situa-tion, the good news isit’s never too late tocrack your retirementnest egg in the mostadvantageous way.

My retirement datewill be? If you decide toretire earlier than the‘usual’ age of 65, eachextra year will be oneless you’ll have to savefor retirement and onemore you’ll have tofund. If you retire afterage 65, you can contin-ue the tax-saving,i n c o m e - b u i l d i n gadvantages of yourRRSP until the end ofthe year in which youturn 71.

My retirementlifestyle will be?

Maybe you’ll decide tokeep working full- timeor part-time, even starta business. If so, youcan afford to save less inadvance because even amodest amount of extraemployment incomecan go a long way.

Be sure to factor in theadditional costs forhealth care that areoften a by-product ofaging and look atincome protectionoptions that will helpcover these additionalcosts.

My retirementincome sources are?Varied – ranging fromyour personal savings,company pensions,investments held with-in RRSPs or TFSAs andnon-registered invest-ments to governmentsources including theCanada PensionPlan/Québec PensionPlan (CPP/QPP) andOld Age Security. Add‘em all up.

Will my retirementpaycheque be suffi-cient to sustain mylifestyle? Find out byidentifyingyour continuing costsand expenses. Takeinflation into account

and the happy fact thatyou could need thatincome for 40 plusyears. Establish a mix ofinvestments that willbridge the gap anddeliver the cash flowyou will need withoutdepleting your underly-ing assets.

My taxes will be?Minimized – with awithdrawal plan for

your registered andother income-produc-ing investments thattakes full advantage ofall the tax benefits avail-able to you, such as ageand pension incomecredits, while avoidingOAS clawbacks.

There are other waysto reduce taxes andincrease your retire-ment income to the

comfortable level youseek. Your professionaladvisor can help youevaluate and take fulladvantage of those thatwill work for you.
