Looking Forward
Here are 10 issues you might want to keep an eye on this year.

A Trucker's Tribute
When Adam Goron's life was cut tragically short those that knew him lined up their rigs to honour his memory.

Time Bomb
Sleep apnea isn't new at all but it's becoming a very big issue because it affects about a quarter of all truck drivers.

You Can't Get There From Here The picture of the snow-covered statue last month was of Squirt the Skunk who makes his home in Beiseker, Alta. The village – about 45 minutes northeast of Calgary at the crossroads of Highways 72 and 9 – wanted a mascot and Squirt won out in a public contest. In 1992, the 13-ft tall statue was built at the village’s campground and a variety of other Squirt merchandise was made available, including pins, key chains, t-shirts, hats, license plates and postcards. This month isn’t a game of name that tune, but naming the town where this Maritime campground is located might be easier for music lovers. Send your guess as to where this month's photo was taken, and we'll enter your name in the draw for one of 10 highwaySTAR hats. We'll accept entries up to the end of the month.
