Bashaw claims Small Town Saturday Night concert By Murray Green

It was a big time video production that earned Bashaw the prize of having the Small Town Saturday Night concert in its community on April 27. Travel Alberta and the Big Valley Jamboree announced that the Town of Bashaw emerged as the grand prize winner. The community vaulted to the top of the leader board in the contest’s second year by creating the best video of the finalists. The clip garnered over 30 per cent of the 55,000 online votes cast, earning the town the privilege of hosting the concert in the Bashaw Arena. The community will also receive a $5,000 donation to the Bashaw Adult Learning Council for the Bashaw School Arts Infusion Program and Bashaw

Creative Community Committee, courtesy of Travel Alberta. “All across Alberta, our rural towns are filled with tremendous community spirit and pride in what they offer visitors – and that has shone through in the entries submitted for Small Town Saturday Night,” said Dr. Richard Starke, minister of Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation. “I look forward to joining the celebration on April 27 for an incredible show that the people of Bashaw will never forget.” After previously placing in the top five last year, ultimately losing out to the community of Legal, Bashaw proved that persistence pays off by entering the 2013 contest with a two-minute parody of the opening musical number from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast that takes view-

ers on a virtual walkthrough of the community. The community’s particular flair for all things creative is on full display in the video, which features a cast of local characters and highlights the town’s thriving theatre scene. "We are beyond excited to have received the most votes for the Small Town Saturday Night Contest,” said Jackie Northey, Bashaw Small Town Saturday Night committee member. “I don't think the thrill of achievement could ever match the amazing community building we experienced. Our entire community and supporters pulled together in a truly collaborative and caring way. We are so grateful for the vision and generosity of Big Valley Jamboree, Travel Alberta and all the sponsors who recognized the value of sup-

porting rural Alberta. We look forward to welcoming many to our community." Bashaw will host its own small town version of Big Valley Jamboree with performances by country music stars Chad Brownlee, Clayton Bellamy, Alee, Bobby Wills and Tenille. “Bashaw’s perseverance, creativity and competitive spirit have once again shone the spotlight on this wonderful Alberta community,” explained BVJ producer Larry Werner of Panhandle Productions. “We would like to thank all the communities that took the time and effort to enter this contest. It is evident that community spirit is still alive and well in Alberta.” Small Town Saturday Night celebrates the big stories Alberta’s rural communities have to

share. "As this year’s entries show, the exceptional experiences available outside of our major centres, from rollicking rodeos to magnificent music festivals, combined with Albertans’ enthusiasm for welcoming visitors to their hometowns should make exploring rural Alberta a must on everyone’s to-do list this summer,” said Royce Chwin, vice-president of marketing for Travel Alberta. In addition to the grand prize, Travel Alberta is also awarding the four runners-up, New Sarepta, Foremost, Namao and Cold Lake with $1,000 prizes to be donated toward the local charity or municipal initiative identified in their original submission. All awards will be presented at the Growing Rural Tourism Conference in Camrose on April 9.

Performing Arts Centre changing the landscape By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents can expect to see some major changes taking place at Augustana over the next couple of months. University of Alberta project manager Michael Madsen told members of Camrose City council last week that steel walls for the new performing arts centre should be going up towards the end of May. He said workers have already poured the performing arts centre's basement walls and are now forming the main curved wall that will be at the back of the theatre's audience chamber. "We are starting to see some scale to the project," said Madsen. Initial projections call for the majority of construction work to be completed at the end of January, 2014. "We have some time built in after substantial completion in our theatre bid-up time should Clark Builders (the building contractor from Edmonton) run into some issues but we are on schedule now," said Madsen. "Everything from a construction perspective is moving. The quality of work is very good and we are very pleased with what we are getting." Madsen said the contractor has been making a concerted effort to source materials and labour from Camrose and surrounding area. "Right now 12 of the 14 people on site are local people – carpenters, labourers, electricians. The winter construction meant there were people available from the farms." The number of local suppliers involved is eight. Madsen said he has asked the City of Camrose for a slight variance in the seating plan so that the theatre could have a couple more seats in each row. "We are above our target for the amount of seating in the theatre. We are going to end up with 540 fixed seats and another 40 seats that are non fixed that can go up and down depending on how many wheelchairs we can accommodate." Madsen said while the building is still under construction there is some design work that still needs to be done.

Substantial completion of the Camrose Performing Arts Centre is scheduled for January of 2014.

"We need to work out the details on such things as the multipurpose space, which is beside the main audience chamber, the finishes and acoustics." The University of Alberta is currently looking at the possibility of installing photovoltaics (a technology that converts sunlight into energy) on the building's flytower in hopes of making the building more energy efficient. "I was approached by our sustainability people on what kind of sustainability initiatives they could support on this project and they gave us a bunch of ideas," said Madsen. "We have all the pricing information on the photovoltaics themselves and Clark is now getting the cladding costs – in other words how this fits on the building – so

we are expecting that next week we can finalize that number and present it to the University of Alberta's sustainability fund for funding approval." The performing arts centre fundraisers have, to date, received gifts and pledges in the amount of $1.35 million and identified additional gifts totalling approximately $500,000. The community fund-raising committee, which is being led by Jason Heise, has provided information to Camrose residents and businesses about the centre and the need for support, and is getting ready to launch a seat campaign that is expected to raise $700,000. "We have just obtained seat samples that will be placed at strategic locations in the city

over the next several months, so future audience members can experience the comfort and legroom of the theatre," said Bonnie Anderson, who works in Augustana's development department. "We believe the seat campaign will be of interest to the local community, as well as to the alumni and friends of the Augustana campus." Anderson said the various sustainability features of the arts centre, which is being built to what is called Green Globes Level 3, is drawing a lot of interest from potential donors. "They are interested in the fact that we are building a facility for the future." Anderson said the arts centre's multi-purpose room will be named the Mayer Family Com-

munity Hall in recognition of the $500,000 gift provided by the Mayer family. "We believe this to be a fitting acknowledgement of the future day to day access and usage proposed for this room for the larger community, as well as a fitting recognition of the Mayer family's longstanding generosity and commitment to this community," said Anderson. The north lobby will be named the Christenson Nelson gallery in recognition of a $350,000 pledge from Greg Christenson, of Christenson Developments and the Christensons' long history in the area. Anderson said the overall success of the campaign will require an additional $1 million in major gifts, and naming gifts of $1.5 million. "Our $5 million goal is a challenge," said Anderson, "but given our discussions and meetings to date, one that we feel very optimistic about." Anderson said fund-raising will be ongoing after the performing arts centre opens its doors and will become part of the theatre manager's duties. "There will always be fundraising needed for the operational side of things." Augustana dean Allen Berger reminded council that of the $750,000 of the $5 million that is being counted on from the performing arts centre fund-raising campaign will go towards operational expenses, while $4.25 million will be used for construction. "It would be my hope that we would at least raise the construction portion prior to the opening of the building," said Berger. "It gets more difficult to raise for construction costs once the building is already opened. We have some flexibility there so we will see how it goes. A naming gift would make all the difference in the world." Berger said one of the current pressing needs is for the University of Alberta and the City of Camrose to finalize the agreement for the not for profit group that technically becomes the employer of the managing director.

A Miracle with a Warning

Throughout last week, accolades for bravery continued to pour in for both Adam Shaw and his dog Rocky. They were being recognized for their unhesitant courage and innovative teamwork in the miraculous rescue of two little girls who had fallen into the Saskatchewan River. While strolling over a foot bridge in the Rundle Park region of Edmonton with his family, Shaw and Rocky responded immediately to screams from below. They bounded down the steep bank and were able to pull out the nine-year-old. Still floating down the river was the ten-year-old sister. Shaw and Rocky pursued, both ending up in the frigid water themselves. Unbelievably, the little girl was able to grasp Rocky’s leash and let him drag her to safety. This was truly a miraculous rescue and Shaw, a young father himself, as well as Rocky, indeed earned the front page story in the Edmonton Journal as well as the national news coverage it received plus all the honours that are continuing to be announced. In greatly understating his bravery, Shaw said he was scared. Who wouldn’t be? The point is, fear did not paralyze him; he and his dog had the courage to do what had to be done. Bravo! We presume that the little girls have recovered although we realize there is the possibility of some permanent damage. It was indeed a most dreadful and unforgettable experience for each of them. While this remarkable story reverberates for days, perhaps weeks, let us not be so captivated by the miracle that we miss the very clear warning: do not walk on spring season ice; it is not safe to do so; don’t count on a man and his dog to be on hand to perform an unlikely rescue! In Camrose, we have a wonderful asset in Mirror Lake and Stoney Creek. Signs are posted to order people to stay off the ice as it weakens during the spring season. May we all refrain from tempting fate by trying to walk on it one more time. Because it carried one yesterday is no guarantee that it will today. It is in our own best interest to observe orders to stay off the ice and be safe!

Province to examine changes to lodging for seniors By Murray Green

Doug Griffiths, Alberta Minister of Municipal Affairs, shared his views about senior lodging with Camrose County council. Councillor Brian Austrom brought the fact that lodges have a changing role. "A few years ago we had waiting lists to get into lodges. Now, some of them are only half full. We have encouraged people to stay in their homes and communities longer. We have a proposal in front of you to make better use of the space to make it more comfortable for those who need to stay in lodges. Most older lodges don't really meet the standards of seniors for today. The city hasn't used all of its affordable housing money and wanted to know if it could get an extension to put some funding towards lodges or Habitat for Humanity." Mr. Griffiths indicated he was aware of the situation on March 26. "We are doing a long term real estate strategy, which means we are going to look at some of those facilities that frankly were built 40 years ago; that have 200 square feet and no bathrooms," he added. "It is just not the way seniors are accustomed to living and it is not the way they want them." The main reason some lodges are not operating at full capacity is because no one wants to live in them. "It is incumbent on us to redesign those to offer comfortable living," said Mr. Griffiths. "We are going to go from 400,000 seniors in this province to 700,000 in the next 20 years. It is going to go by just like that and we have a lot of work to do to prepare for it. I like your proposal." Councillor Vern Peterson discussed rural transit and how that will help seniors and how it will also keep people in the smaller communities longer.

FUEL TANKS: FIVE REASONS TO BE OUT WITH THE OLD. There are probably thousands of old-style, above ground, gravity-fed fuel tanks on farms all around Alberta. They’ve served producers well, but maybe time and technology have passed them by and it really is time to move on. The fact is there are far better and safer options to old-style fuel tanks that offer greater convenience, security, economy and environmental stewardship. For example, double-walled fuel tanks that sit on the ground, not above it, and are operated with an electric pump, embody all these advances. It’s a definite step up in on-farm fuel storage and accessibility.

The pros and…pros There are a lot of good reasons to consider upgrading to a double-walled fuel tank, but here are the top five that make it an idea whose time has come. Reduce delay. As farm equipment gets larger, so do the Fuel tanks. It can take forever to fill a 200-gallon tank by gravity, not to mention that the equipment itself is getting taller, so it’s harder to get gravity on your side when you’re filling the combine. Because double-walled fuel storage tanks are pump operated, they can move 20 to 30 gallons of fuel a minute for faster fill-ups and fewer delays during busy seasons. Plus they’re bigger, so you don’t have to call for fuel delivery as often and can ensure you have more fuel on hand during peak times. Hedge against price hikes. More fuel storage space means more flexibility when it comes

to purchasing fuel. If you get a bigger system, you can hedge against sharply rising gas prices. In other words, if you fill a 1,000-gallon fuel tank today at $1/L and if the price goes up to $1.10/L the following week, well, a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks. Larger tanks mean you can stock up when you see a good price. Protect against theft. Frankly, it’s just too easy to steal fuel from an above ground gravity-fed tank. Thieves simply cut the hose and take what they want, leaving the rest to spill on the ground, so not only have you lost fuel, you’ve got a big environmental mess to clean up. New tanks have electric pumps, which means you can control where the power switch is and who has access to it. Protect against injury. Because they rely on gravity, old fuel tanks are usually perched on some kind of structure where risk of injury is higher during filling, fueling and basic maintenance. With on ground fuel tanks, it is safer for farmers, as well as the petroleum employees who come out to fill them. Plan for the future. Double-walled tanks are far less likely to leak than older single-walled tanks. And this is particularly important on two fronts: first, today’s fuel can actually contribute to leakage in old tanks (biofuels scour the insides, removing rust and dirt, uncovering cracks and holes and contaminating the fuel itself in the process); and second, whatever the cause, a leaking tank can lead to a big environmental cleanup bill when it comes time to sell the farm, or pass it on to your kids.

UFA can help Double-walled fuel tanks come in many sizes, from 500 gallons up to 25,000 litres, with the 1,000-gallon and larger tanks being the most popular. A 1,000 gallon tank, including pump, can be had for under $4,000, which is not a huge dollar investment given the benefits it offers over old, above ground tanks. As well, you need to select an appropriate site and prepare the ground properly to avoid any environmental or settling issues, and you’ll need to be a qualified electrician to hook it up. UFA regularly stocks 500 and 1,000 gallon fuel tanks, along with pumps, so you can easily stop by to see what they look like and get expert advice about what would work best for your farm situation. (larger tanks of 11,000, 15,000 and 25,000 litres are available on order.) Farming is difficult enough without having to worry about the logistics of your fuel needs. Bigger, double-walled, on the ground fuel tanks can alleviate some of the hassle associated with busy times on the farm and can be a good investment for the future.

Small change

Camrose County was miffed that $411.17 of the $62,000 it received in grant funding will have to be refunded to the province. "It seems funny that on a regional project of over $85,000, to be penalized the $411.17 from 2011-12 because the regional partnership did not use the full supervisor travel expenses, or full intern relocation costs, or for having municipal interns sharing travel expenses in order to save money or association membership fees when the associations waived their fees. It does not seem fair," said Steve. "Perhaps the Program has to look at the travel and subsistence expenses, in this day where expense accounts are being so scrutinized." Steve felt that the county is being penalized for being frugal. "The students shared transportation and hotels to save money, then we are being asked to return it." Mr. Griffiths asked for the details to be sent to him. "I bet we spend more in staff time trying to track that down. There has to be a better way," said the minister. "Our staff is already taxed for time, so I will look at it."

Are you finding it more difficult to locate a clean table at a fast food place? Operators at these outlets are taking advantage of the kindness of their customers when they remove their own trays and drink containers. There was a time when you were finished eating an employee cleaned your table with a sanitizing liquid for the consideration

of the next person to sit there. The philosophy now seems to be that if there isn't anything on the table except crumbs, it is clean. I contacted two places where these conditions existed and received two different responses – either they didn't have enough staff and/or they were too busy. If they are not worried about cleanliness when the customer eats, how do they approach cleanliness where they prepare the food and we can't see the conditions? Fast food venues should start making it their priority to properly clean the tables and chairs after people finish eating and not put the onus on customers to do their work. Customers should stop removing their dishes and leftover food when they finish eating. Unfortunately, staff interpret our acceptance of their unclean tables and our removal of the dishes and food as acceptance of their standard of cleanliness. Staff need to not only clear the

table but also to wipe it with a suitable sanitizer. Let's help make these establishments aware and accountable for cleanliness in their places of business. Wayne Sampson, Camrose A tax hike is a tax hike

MP Kevin Sorenson likes to boast that the Conservatives "are committed to lowering taxes." There’s only one problem: that isn't true. The Conservatives’ federal budget increases tariffs on everyday items imported from dozens of countries. These rising tariffs are a hidden tax on everything, from clothing and shoes to household cleaning products to televisions. They are also increasing your Employment Insurance taxes. Increasing this tax on jobs is reckless when so many areas of the economy are still struggling. Stephen Harper and his crew are increasing taxes on

hospital parking, taxes on life insurance, taxes on safety deposit boxes, taxes for airport security, taxes on credit unions, and the list goes on. For years now, Conservatives have tried to boast that they never raise taxes. That was easy to do when they took power and inherited a $13 billion surplus from the previous Liberal government. However, these tax-and-spend Conservatives dug themselves into a deep deficit; they increased program spending by almost 40 percent and are now hiking taxes left, right and centre. The next time you see Mr. Sorenson, remind him to show his constituents some respect and be honest about taxes. No amount of spin or government advertising (that they pay for with your taxes) can change the fact that a tax hike is a tax hike, and we know it.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster University of Alberta, Augustana Campus students Natasha Gacek, left, and Rixt Scholten presented Bailey Theatre manager Tracey Clark with $2,683 from the proceeds of the Save the Bailey concert that was held in January. The funds will be used in general operations.

By Lea Polny Still wondering what to do with all those discontinued pennies you have laying around? "Pennies for the Bailey" is the answer. "We came up with this idea when the penny was discontinued and knew it would be a great way for people to get rid of pennies while contributing to the arts and culture at the Bailey," said Bailey board president Judy McLean. You'll find Pennies for the Bailey jars at convenient locations like Battle River Credit Union, Music Camrose, SPACE, Pedersen's Florists, Main Street Gallery, Interiors on Main, Sole City Shoes, Regime, Duff Layton's Men's Wear, Fringe Benefits, Martha's Music, Candler Art Gallery, and the Bailey. You may not be aware that most performing arts theatres need regular community support to continue with their programming. Like the Arden Theatre in St. Albert, Festival Place in Sherwood Park and even the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, the Bailey is a privately funded, not-for-profit registered charity that brings culture to our community. And like these other performing arts theatres, the Bailey needs your support to continue programming this state-of-the-art landmark venue. Typically, a theatre like the Citadel only generates about 45 per cent of its operating revenue from ticket sales. The rest only happens through regular support from those who care about the arts. There are many ways to contribute to the continued success of the Bailey Theatre. Performing arts theatres like the Bailey rely on regular volunteers to make things happen. "We need volunteers," says theatre manager Tracey Clark. "There are so many ways that volunteers help our theatre grow ... everything from helping at movies and other events to contributing to one of our theatre committees, like the fund-raising committee. Come and join the fun at the Bailey." The Bailey offers lots of ways to donate, from private donations to business sponsorship. Being an event sponsor will get your business name out there and recognized as a strong community supporter. You could also attend one of our upcoming fundraisers, bring your friends and have a great time while supporting the theatre. Purchase a seat or make a donation to be part of our generous donors list. There are so many ways you can give your support to the Bailey and help grow culture in Camrose. "You can make a difference at the Bailey just by attending more events," says programming director Simon Williams. "It is easier to buy tickets now with our extended box office hours, and part of every ticket price goes towards keeping our historic theatre running. So come to our next event and bring your friends. The more people come to events the better our entertainment will be."

Randy Elvis Friskie and his Las Vegas show band will be performing a tribute to Rock and Roll King Elvis Presley at the Bailey Theatre April 19. Friskie's performances have been said to "bring the King to life for an entire generation of people too young to have experienced Elvis when he was alive and for the legions of people who remember the anticipation of every new record and movie." Randy Elvis Friskie has been referred to as "The World's Best Elvis Tribute Act." According to a pre-concert release, "He has mastered Elvis in the three stages of his career: the fabulous fifties, the spectacular sixties and the sensational seventies." "Randy is not only the best, he is the reincarnation of Elvis," said Hugh Pickett, O.C. Impresario, who presented Elvis Presley at Empire Stadium in Vancouver, B.C. in 1957.

The Steel Wheels' show is causing quite a stir in Canada. The American band has been selling out shows north of the border during a recent tour. The Virginia based band will be playing in the Rose City Roots Music Society show on April 13 at 8 p.m. in the Scalliwags Pub and Rum Bar. "They are selling out in some places. We're getting people from Calgary calling us to get tickets to the Rose City Roots show. This is exciting," said Geraint Osborne, of the society. "We're pretty excited because this is our first United States act. We've had bands from across Canada, the UK, Australia and Africa, but this is our first US act." The Steel Wheels will be releasing a new CD, No More Rain on April 16, so Camrose music fans will receive a preview of the group's latest creations. The Steel Wheels has enthralled audiences across the country with its heady brew of original soulful mountain music. Based in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this dynamic band marries old-time musical traditions with their own innovative sound. Trent Wagler’s weathered tenor is joined by bell-clear four-part harmonies inspired by a shared Mennonite heritage. Add to this Eric Brubaker’s lively and evocative fiddle, Brian Dickel’s grounded yet buoyant upright bass, and Jay Lapp’s signature mandolin style, and it’s no surprise that The Steel Wheels has burst onto the Americana scene, becoming festival favourites and selling out venues across North America. The Steel Wheels band has captured fans with its raw energy and chemistry. The values portrayed in its music – devotion to roots, community, and family – are a way of life for The Steel Wheels, and this is reflected in the band's music. Trent Wagler offers the lead vocals, guitar, banjo and songwriting. As early as four years old, Trent was singing gospel music on stage with the Wagler Family Quartet. Trent opened for Jay Lapp’s band, The Goldmine Pickers one day. Jay hopped on stage and the two played way past their 30 minute slot. Since that time, Trent has worked with Jay on five albums together as solo, a duo act, or The Steel Wheels. Jay Lapp plays the mandolin, guitar and sings harmony vocals, Brian Dickel plays the upright bass and sings harmony vocals and Eric Brubaker plays the fiddle and sings harmony vocals.

2013 Town Hall

Arts centre displays A Room with a View By Murray Green

The exhibition A Room with a View will be on display at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre from April 5 to 28. The exhibition focuses on interiors, everyday activities within these spaces and states of being as expressed by Alberta artists. Art work on display was picked from a collection from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts to go in the travelling exhibition program. The art features a blend of media and artistic styles. The exhibition invites viewers into a familiar room to encounter the challenges, joys, mysteries and simple pleasures that make up our everyday lives. In the visual arts the subject of rooms is wide open and has invited a wide variety of interpretations. It serves as a setting for narrative action, metaphors for psychological states, nostalgic representations, or exercises in mathematical preci-

sion and artistic proficiency. It has inspired the creativity of artists from the beginning of time. Interior scenes and related activities in visual art falls into the category of genre painting. Referring to pictorial representations in any media that represents scenes and subjects in everyday life makes up genre paintings in contemporary reality. The images may be realistic, imagined, or romanticized by the artist and could portray scenes such as leisure activities, family narratives and community celebrations. The display was curated by Shane Golby and organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta for the travelling program and is on loan to Camrose. The display can be viewed from Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Contact Jane CherryLemire at 780-672-9949 for more information or Saturday hours.

Children's theatre group teaches in Daysland Submitted

The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT), has been touring extensively for 38 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit 1,300 communities this year with up to 35 teams of tour actor/directors. A tour team will arrive in Daysland with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play … except the cast. The show is rehearsed throughout the week and two public performances are presented on Saturday. All MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairy tales … a twist on the classic stories that you know and love. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through the participation in this unique, educational project. MCT’s mission is the development of lifeskills in children through participation in the performing arts. An audition will be held for MCT’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk on Monday, April 15, at the Daysland Palace Theatre from 4:15 to 6:15 p.m. There is no guarantee that everyone who

auditions will be cast in the play. Those auditioning should arrive by 4:15 p.m. and plan to stay for the full two hours. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the audition, so bring a lunch. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 are encouraged to audition. No advance preparation is necessary, but a smile never hurts. Assistant directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week and to take on essential backstage responsibilities. Rehearsals will be held from 4:15 to 8:30 p.m. each day, although all the cast will not have to be at all the rehearsals, they should be available to attend all rehearsals required for their role. Jack and the Beanstalk will be presented by DaysArts at the Daysland Palace Theatre on Saturday, April 20, at 3 and 7 p.m., with support from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, 49th Street Liquor Store and Mountain Air Furnace and Duct Cleaning Tickets are $10 each.

By Dan Jensen The funding details for the Rotary Youth Centre are starting to solidify. Camrose City council agreed at its April 1 meeting to have the City pay the project's previously unbudgeted development charge of $54,498.30. The development fund charge is levied on all projects, including those undertaken by the City of Camrose, to ensure consistency and fairness to all developments that take place in the city, regardless of purpose or function. Typically, the full amount of the development charge must be paid prior to the project start. "The construction of the Rotary Youth Centre should not start prior to the fee payment," said a report presented to council by Camrose Community Centre general manager Paul Nielsen. City councillor John Howard said it is appropriate that the City fund the development charge since the building will be owned by the City. The total cost of the Rotary Youth Centre project is approximately $500,000, of which $139,906 will come from the Rotary Club of Camrose, $150,000 from the City of Camrose capital budget, approximately $31,000 from Camrose Scouts and other community groups, and $85,904 from the provincial CFEP grant. "The CFEP grant has been confirmed, although at a lesser amount than applied for (by Rotary)," said Nielsen. Originally, Rotary had been seeking a CFEP grant of $125,000. The drafting and project management fees have been provided free of charge by Zetsen Master Builders and Ron Grue respectively, resulting in an overall savings of approximately $60,000. The City of Camrose contribution funds the construction of the storage component of the Rotary Youth Centre and getting services into the building. The storage component will include a number of large rooms accessible at the back that will be made available to community groups, like Camrose Minor Sports, that now stores supplies and equipment in other local facilities. The Rotary Youth Centre will be built on the site of the former caretakers' residence, across from the Camrose Community Centre. "In comparison with the other considered location, across the road (west) from the existing Scout Hall building, the caretakers' residence came out ahead in the areas of parking

availability, visibility to public, closer to services, closer to the Community Centre (for spillover programming) and the fact that it does not consume any park/green space due to using an already developed/disturbed site," said the Nielsen report. City administration and the Rotary Club of Camrose are working together to identify, address and minimize the potential risks. "Outside of financial risks, there are those that relate more to insurance and property," said Nielsen. "To this end, Rotary has been asked to provide property and liability insurance while the Rotary Youth Centre is under construction in addition to WCB coverage for anyone not working on the project." A current unknown on the project is the role and responsibility of the involved organizations in operating and maintaining the centre. "There has been some very preliminary dialogue but this needs to be dealt with in earnest well before construction completion," said Nielsen. The Rotary Youth Centre will provide 7,500 square feet of well-insulated space on two levels and in-floor heating on the first. "It's not going to be an architectural masterpiece," said Rotary Club of Camrose president Shirley Rostad in a presentation to council earlier this year. "We are trying to build something that is energyefficient and does the job for a number of years to come. It will have the same insulation and heating system as the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which has a heating cost of $250 per month in the coldest months." The Rotary Club of Camrose started investigating the idea of undertaking another major project two years ago, after receiving a grant of $25,000 from a local family as a thank you for sending a couple of youth to an agricultural college. "We put a couple of advertisements in the papers asking people what we should do as a project, and the reply that stood out was a youth centre," said Rotarian David Francoeur. "We thought it would be something the club could support both through our finances and through donated labour." The Camrose Scouts currently occupy a building in Rudy Swanson Park that was built during the Second World War. "The hall was in rough shape and made even worse by a fire a few years ago," said Rostad.

VOLUNTEER SUPPORT STILL REQUIRED

The caretaker's residence at Rudy Swanson Park was removed last week to make way for the new Rotary Youth Centre.

Volunteers are still needed to assist with the construction of the Rotary Youth Centre. "We've received good support in terms of donations and commitments but we still need people who can give us a hand with framing, drywalling, taping, finishing metal and woodwork and landscapers," said Rotary Youth Centre project manager Ron Grue. "It is easier to do a project like this when the whole community gets involved."

Big Hank turns blues into some fine music By Murray Green Playing at the Bailey Theatre in Camrose is almost like a homecoming for Big Hank and A Fistful of Blues. The polished band that plays mostly original material has influences of soul, Chicago blues, Memphis rhythm and blues and the blues-rock of the '70s. The veteran band will hit the stage at 8 p.m. on April 12. Big Hank launched his music career in Seattle while attending art college, playing around the Pacific Northwest. After graduating, he returned to Edmonton and played in a number of bands involved in the Top 40 scene. "Four of us are originally from Stettler, so we go a long way back. I remember starting to play in high school, about 1964," said Big Hank Lionhart. "Our relationship goes back to the roots in the area where we all grew up in the 1960s and '70s." Big Hank moved from playing other band's hits to blues with a band called Hot Cottage in the '70s and refined his skills with RCA recording artists Uncle Wiggly's Hot Shoes Blues Band in the '80s and onto the Kingpins, which had close connections to the Powder Blues Band. "The blues seemed to really fit my voice. I liked the spontaneity of it as well," recalled Big Hank. "I like to free wheel and make it up as I go sometimes. Blues is music with a feeling." Big Hank merged legendary Edmonton band Tacoy Ryde

into a blend of his own creation. He leads the band with his natural powerful blues voice. A Fist Full of Blues includes Duane Smith on bass, Ken Kirkwood on guitar, Barrie Nighswander on guitar, Bill Hobson on drums and Dennis Meneely on keyboards to form a group with exceptional musicianship. "We have two CDs out now and we are working on a third one. Everyone in the band writes music, so that is cool," said Big Hank. "I've been doing this for 48 years, two years away from 50 years at it and it is still a whole lot of fun." Growing up and playing with the same musicians translates into success in live shows and on CDs. The tight, wellrehearsed and sonically appealing show is still very soughtafter in Alberta. "We make our shows enjoyable, whether you want to listen to the music or get up and dance," added Big Hank. "I heard about the Bailey one day and how people liked to play there. Then, we have wanted to play there ever since. I remember playing in Camrose in the 1970s and they always had a good teen club. It was well attended and the people like to get into the music. We are excited to play in Camrose, close to a homecoming for some of us in the band." Big Hank and A Fistful of Blues has produced hits such as "Cook For Me" and "The Road" and turned covers of "You Don't Love Me" and "Turn Back the Hands of Time" into crowd favourites. "The good

WALK-IN APPOINTMENTS WELCOME part about being around for so long is that fans recognize our music and sing along," said Big Hank. "People come out to hear us because they don't hear those songs anywhere else. They are blues fans and come out for that reason. My favourite song to perform is "Turning Point" because it is fun to sing for me." Learning blues is a lifelong experience. "The cool thing about blues is that you always want to try something new or different and even if that is playing an old song," explained Big Hank. "It is a learning experience, even though we all have been playing for more than 40 years." Experience blues tunes done in fine rare style when Big Hank and A Fist Full of Blues arrive at the Bailey. Tickets are available for $20 at the Bailey Box Office or online. The doors open at 7 and the show begins at 8 p.m. on Friday night.

PCN holds town hall meetings By Murray Green

Big Hank and A Fist Full of Blues will be appearing at the Bailey Theatre on April 12 at 8 p.m. for an evening of original blues. Members of the band include, back row left to right, Bill Hobson on drums, Duane Smith on bass and Barrie Nighswander on guitar. Front row from left to right, Big Hank Lionhart on lead vocals, Dennis Meneely on keyboards and Ken Kirkwood on guitar.

Town hall meetings were popular in the past as a way of getting people together to discuss important matters of the day. A series of meetings has been called. The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) is inviting you to join in a conversation about Primary Care and what that means to you at some upcoming town hall sessions. “How individuals feel about their primary care experience is an important measure of what is working within the PCN and can also help identify opportunities for improvement," said executive director Stacey Strilchuk. "I consider these town hall sessions to be a valuable opportunity for PCN physicians, healthcare providers and administration and am looking forward to our discussions.” The PCN is starting to work on its 2014-17 three-year business plan, and would like to engage you in that process. Part of the business planning process is to identify priorities for the next three years, which includes being patient-centered and meeting the needs of the community. "To ensure that happens, it’s important for us to engage community members like yourself for your input, hear your experi-

ences and work together as we plan for the future," said Colleen Lindholm, communications lead for the Camrose Primary Care Network. "People should attend if you or someone you know is living with diabetes or high blood pressure, expecting a child or recently started a family, caring for an elderly person, in need of grief and bereavement or palliative care support, faced with a cancer journey, struggling with managing a healthy weight, in need of mental health support." The PCN town hall sessions are scheduled to take place in Bashaw on Thursday, April 11, at the Majestic Theatre on Main Street; Monday, April 15, at the Norsemen Inn (salon C) in Camrose; and Tuesday, April 16, in Daysland at the senior centre, 5009-50 Street. All of the town hall sessions will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and will focus on patient access, patient experience and patient outcomes – as they relate to the Camrose PCN. Refreshments will be available. For more information email info@camrosepcn.com, visit www. camrosepcn.com/news/2013-pcntown-hall-sessions, or call 780-6084927.

Wildrose Co-op conducts annual meeting By Dan Jensen

The Wild Rose Cooperative Association had another successful year in 2012. Wild Rose Cooperative Association general manager Carol Rollheiser told those attending the association's annual general meeting at Edgeworth Centre March 26 that, based on total sales of $78 million for the year ending October 31, the Co-op board of directors has been able to make a patronage allocation of just over $2.9 million. A total of $1.6 million will be paid back to members in cash at Dividend Days in May. "The allocation was 3.75 per cent for food," said Rollheiser. "The allocation was 5 per cent for fuel, four per cent for crop supplies, 4 per cent for lumber and general merchandise and 10 per cent for oil and grease." One of the major highlights for the Wild Rose Co-op in 2012 was the construction of a Cardlock in Camrose. "We were able to start pumping fuel in November but due to the early winter the landscaping

and the paving had to be put off to this spring," said Rollheiser. The site has a full canopy, a trucker-style washroom, an RV Sani-Dump and an RV storage area. Reinvesting

Wild Rose Co-op has continued the practice of re-investing in assets. "We added a fuel truck, three sales and delivery vehicles, replaced all the Camrose Food deli cases and prep tables, and added the position of maintenance manager," said Rollheiser., "We also added a human resource manager to our organizational structure." Need for growth

The Wild Rose Cooperative Association recognizes the need to continue to evolve, grow, learn and change so that it will be able to provide sustainable services to members. "Every decision to expand, grow or add services is put through a rigid test to ensure that it is consistent with our vision statement and mission statement, shows a financial benefit to all our members, is environmentally responsible and above all is a prudent business decision for the long term

benefit of the cooperative enterprise," said Rollheiser. "Business decisions are determined by the board of directors and management as we continue to provide service, product quality, competitive pricing and community involvement to the membership and the communities we serve." New branding

The cooperative retailing system is currently going through the process of reintroducing its brand. "The strength of our brand is the dedication of our employees and our members," said Rollheiser. "It is about using the strength of the entire Cooperative Federation to be strong as a group and in turn strong on a locally owned and operated level so that we can both compete with large mass marketers as well as to serve our rural communities." Community support

Wild Rose Co-op proudly supports numerous clubs and organizations (sports teams, 4-H clubs, youth clubs, church groups) in the communities it does business. It is also acknowledged by the University of Alberta Augustana Campus

and Sedgewick High School for the sponsorship of scholarships. Wild Rose Co-op board chair Teresa Beddoes expressed appreciation to members of the board for their diligent and dedicated service over the past year. "The vision and mission statements of the Wild Rose Coop guide us as board members to work strategically to meet the demands and expectations of the membership," said Beddoes. "Being a director is a position we have all accepted with honour." Directors elected at the meeting to three-year terms were Louie Hagel, Terry Brodie and Graham Galletly. An audited financial report presented by controller Hal Reid showed that since August 1, 1972, when the Camrose store was incorporated, Wild Rose Co-op has recorded sales of $821,971,566 and savings of $34,864,913. "We are getting closer and closer to the billion dollar mark and are getting stronger as each year progresses," said Reid. "I am sure this year will be no different."

New digital imaging service at Smith Clinic By Dan Jensen

The newly-opened Veritas Imaging clinic in Smith Clinic is helping to reduce the wait times for ultrasound and mammography. "We're not replacing the services at St. Mary's Hospital but complementing them," explained radiologist and Veritas Imaging owner Dr. Steven Halls. "We know there are many women who have been travelling to Camrose to access services because of the waiting time caused by the amount of work that is being done." The new clinic is a breakthrough of sorts for Dr. Halls, who had been trying to open a separate imaging clinic, only to be rejected by a rule that disallowed tele-ultrasound in a setting other than a hospital. "The College of Physicians and Surgeons said you couldn't set one up in a separate building without a radiologist being there," said Dr. Halls. "They finally relaxed the rules after I was able to explain that I would be able to walk from the hospital to the clinic in 30 minutes or drive there in five, and that I would be at the clinic every day. I let them know that I would be here talking to people all day long and that if anything came up that was a problem with the patient we would just send them to the hospital for a CT scan or a biopsy and get everything taken care of the same day." The difference between the mammography services provided by Veritas Imaging and the services offered at Camrose Mammography Centre is that all imaging at Veritas is done digitally. "The Camrose Mammography Centre was one of the last non-digital clinics in the province of Alberta and the old building in the hospital parking lot was overdue for demolition," said Dr. Halls. "Still, we didn't want to buy expensive new digital equipment until a new permanent

home could be found. We didn't buy the new mammography equipment that is here until we closed the Camrose Mammography Centre." The new clinic fits well with the government's plan to make it easier for all Albertans to access health services. "One of the concerns that was raised in the last election was the need for people to travel outside the city for things like ultrasound," said Dr. Halls. Veritas Imaging conducted several hundred thousand dollars worth of renovations to the space before opening so that women would feel comfortable coming for services and that the staff, especially the sonographers, see it as an attractive place to work. The clinic currently has one full-time sonographer and is hoping to add another in March and a third in December when the next class of sonographers graduates. "There is such a shortage of sonographers that different groups and different cities bribe them with bonuses and different things to try and steal them from each other," said Dr. Halls. You have to sometimes find jobs for their husbands, take them to different conferences and pay for educational allowances. They are sought after and rightly so because they are right at the bedside of patients. They have to understand the anatomy and diseases. It is way more than pushing a button." Veritas Imaging's equipment is as modern and stateof-the art as one would expect to find anywhere in the health industry. "It is a pleasure to work on the machines," said Melva Baker, a sonographer with seven years of experience. "You can do an exam now so much faster than you could before." Baker said she has heard nothing but positive comments from clients about the new clinic.

"Everyone is talking about the beautiful facilities and about how grateful they are that they don't have to travel farther for ultrasound or mammography." Dr. Halls was born and raised in Edmonton, graduating from Harry Ainley High School in 1978 and University of Alberta Medical School in the class of 1985. After two years of rotating internship at Edmonton hospitals, he took radiology training in Saskatoon, at Royal University Hospital, becoming a specialist in radiology in 1992. After a fellowship year of extra training in MRI in Memphis, Tennessee, he began his first job as a radiologist at Cross

Cancer Institute in Edmonton from 1993 to 2005, where he learned, perfected and taught many kinds of procedures. With modest participation in research during those years, he implemented the first breast MRI service, the first MRI biopsy capability, the first ultrasoundguided PICC and CVC insertion services in Alberta. Some peer reviewed research grants were funded during those years on breast cancer and lymph node staging procedures. Now working full-time in Camrose from his office inside the x-ray department at St. Mary's Hospital, Dr. Halls is on call 24-7.

The recent death of Stompin’ Tom Connors gave many Canadians pause. The country seemed to experience a collective pang of grief at the sudden loss of the legendary country singer. The days following Stompin’ Tom’s passing saw many messages of condolence, remembrance and tribute flooding the airwaves and print media; but there was also a rash of highly irresponsible, hyperbolic comments that, in seeking to celebrate and elevate the man and his music, serve only to muddy the waters and obscure a reasonable and true view of Stompin’ Tom’s legacy. Stompin’ Tom has been glorified—beatified, really—by everyone from kd lang and Ronnie Hawkins to the NHL to Stephen Harper. We have been told we should be “respectful”—fair enough—of this now “iconic” figure, a “fiercely proud Canadian” whose music “spoke deeply” to all of us. The Prime Minster called Connors “a true Canadian original”; Hawkins labeled Stompin’ Tom “the Canadian.” These and many similar comments beg some huge, elephantin-the-room questions, namely “What is Canadian?” and “Who is a Canadian?” On the very best of days, we Canadians neurotically equivocate about what constitutes Canadian-ness— never mind true Canadian-ness. This is due in no small part to the vastness of the country and its wildly varying landscapes, its variegated demographics and its complex history. Whenever we call someone a “true Canadian,” surely we are arriving at a gross reduction of a difficult issue, and doing some kind of injustice to our multiform national identity to boot. So, as our political and cultural elites laud Stompin’ Tom as the living embodiment of the Canadian identity, we should pause to consider the meaninglessness of such a tribute. It is also surely to overstate the case that his music “spoke deeply to Canadians,” as the president of the National Arts Centre has insisted, or that he was an “extraordinary songwriter.” To test this, simply call to mind any one of a number of Stompin’ Tom classics—“The Ketchup Song,” “Sudbury Saturday Night,” “Bud the Spud,” “Gumboot Cloggeroo,” or take your pick. These are fun and very simple little tunes, and not much more. They are not exemplary as songs, deeply rooted as they are in a narrowlyconceived country-folk music tra-

dition; and the lyrics—“Ketchup loves potatoes”? “The boys’re getting’ stinko”?—are not the place to look for deep meaning. But this is to miss the point. Trying to raise Stompin’ Tom to the status of a musical and culture icon by virtue of his artistry contradicts what is being touted as the very essence of Connors’ import and enduring appeal: that he never varied from his musical roots, and that he never tried to be anything other than what he was. Stompin’ Tom churned out a lot of songs over the last four or five decades, and many of his songs, it is true, were about life in small-town Canada, drawing attention to people and places hitherto ignored in Canadian culture. He spent decades working as a touring musician, which is a hard life and is worthy of respect. But that doesn’t make him Canada’s Woodie Guthrie. I was cringing in anticipation of seeing in print “Canada’s Bob Dylan” or “Canada’s Hank Williams,” or something similar, and then it happened: Globe and Mail journalist Carl Wilson came up with “Stompin’ Tom: the closest we may get to a Woody Guthrie of our own.” Really? Guthrie is a keystone of American cultural history, folk hero who defined an entire era as America’s “Dust Bowl Troubadour”; then he defined a subsequent era as the direct inspiration for America’s massive folk revival in the 1960s and a direct influence on some of the most important popular musicians of the 20th century. He composed an enormous body of songs across a wide range of genres, songs that continue to be performed and recorded in countless new versions to this day. Stompin’ Tom is not Canada’s Woody Guthrie. This is an unfair and inaccurate comparison. Murray McLaughlan, another Canadian country music legend of sorts, claimed that people who don’t like Stompin’ Tom’s music—people who think it’s simple and kitschy—are likely snotty urbanites and/or intellectuals. Why will no one state the obvious, and address the other elephant in the room? Stompin’ Tom’s music is simple and kitschy. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It is what it is. My argument here is that we should be wary of the kneejerk and hyperbolic claims about Connors’ model patriotism, his universal appeal and status as a musical icon, claims that pollute what might otherwise be a real conversation about Stompin’ Tom’s life and music. Perhaps that will come later.

Gladstone Achievers 4-H By Natalie Thain

At the beginning of February the district sponsored a bowling night for all members. It was to celebrate 100 years of 4-H in Canada. It was a great night bowling with friends in the neon lights. At the February scrapbooking night, we learned how to work with different types of paper. They were card stock, fabric, metallic, patterned, paper, transparency, mulberry and vellum. The theme for the project was family.

The cooking girls had their 18th annual Valentine’s supper inviting their family and the scrapbooking girls; it was great. Also this month we had our Club Public Speaking with Madam Chairpersons Taylor Fenske and Brandi Bignell. Everyone got over their butterflies and did a great job. Finishing first in Juniors was Natalie Thain, Intermediates Lauren Brager, and Senior winner Madison Huseby. It was a busy month but it was fun.

Ole's Spring Run-off date set for May By Murray Green

The Camrose Running Club will be holding its fourth annual Ole's Spring Run-off on May 4. The race is organized by the running club, which is a part of the Camrose Ski Club. "Both walkers and runners are welcome, and it's a great way to get in some exercise while having fun," said Robert Renman of the club. "The event is great for families. For every participant, there are lots of draw prizes and food." Located in the beautiful park

area, the route takes you through a scenic run or walk into the valley using the paved trail system. The start is in Jubilee Park at 46 Avenue and 51A Street. Children participate in a one-kilometre fun run around the park and try to beat Ole Uffda's time. "The eight-kilometre course has one somewhat challenging hill, which comes at about 4.5 km into the race," added Robert. "The three-kilometre race has only a short hill, which occurs immedi-

ately after the start of the threeand eight-kilometre race. The Camrose Library receives a donation from the proceeds of the race. "We think this event is a good motivator to get out exercising in the spring," said Robert. The Camrose Running Club provides clinics to help people get started with running. Sign up for a running clinic on the website, or learn more about the event at www.camroserunning.ca/oles_ spring_run_off/ and start getting in shape.

Vikings collect silver at curling provincials By Murray Green

Although the Augustana Vikings men's curling team tied for fifth at the Canadian Colleges Athletic Conference Curling Championships in Edmonton, Bawlf curler Chad Szott collected his fourth provincial medal. Augustana lost a tough high scoring game, 10-8, to the gold medal winning NAIT rink and missed the playoff round. The Vikings went 2-5 at nationals. NAIT, Augustana, Grant MacEwan and Lakeland advanced to nationals after provincials in Olds on Feb. 22 to 24. The Augustana men's team dropped a 7-3 decision in the final to collect the silver medals for the second year in a row. "Alberta usually has the stronger teams, so we could see a NAIT-Augustana rematch in the final," said Chad, before the national competition. "Four of the eight teams are from Alberta because of the travel." NAIT won the championship game by beating Grant MacEwan instead. The Vikings beat NAIT earlier in the season, but allowed too many rocks in the house in the

MacWilliam signs with Maple Leafs

championships. "We beat them in the league bonspiel and several close games with them. It comes down to a few shots that make the difference. You can't have an average game against strong teams like NAIT," he added. Chad curled on the Augustana mixed team in his first year and suffered through a winless season. However, Chad kept improving and didn't give up. "Our lead on the men's team couldn't play in the provincial playoffs, so I joined the men's rink," explained Chad. "They curled well and we ended with bronze medals." The local curler went back to the mixed rink the following year, but the team's rebuilding process fell short of a trip to provincials. "Then we won the mixed division in back-to-back years and we won gold medals. This year, the team made it three years in a row, but I played for the men's team," added Chad. "It was nice to win a silver medal, although you would rather have gold. I finished curling with two gold, a silver and a bronze medal."

Augustana has been solid in both men's and mixed divisions, despite the changes in the line-up. "We have had consistent results, even though the teams change and all other teams change players each year," said Chad. "When the rinks found out there would be no nationals for mixed curling, a lot of the skips moved over to the men's teams. I know I did, because I wanted a challenge and a shot at going to nationals. Everybody wants that title." Andrew Evans and Chad switched from the mixed team to the men's squad to give the men a shot at the title. Andrew has two gold and two silver medals in his four years as an Augustana curler. He was named the ACAC curler of the year. Chad said curling should have nationals for mixed teams and even a brier and Olympic Games to move the competition to the same level as the men's and women's curling. "It changes the dynamics. It would be fun to have Kevin Martin curling against Jennifer Jones," said Chad. Augustana may have had

the same results as last year at provincials, but the program made great strides in surging to the top of its class. "Coach Roger Galenza has made a huge difference. Doug (Hardy) put in his time and was a great coach, but Roger came in refreshed and wanted to set the program up for long term success," said Chad. "Roger was not only our coach, he was the manager, bus driver and he even got food for us from downstairs when we were rushed for time. He was everything to us and it just lifts everyone when you know someone is working that hard for us." Roger wanted the curling program to be on the same level as other sports at Augustana. "He provides us with Gatorade at the bonspiels and it is nice not to pull out our wallets every time we make a move. He is working on sponsorships and is really trying to get the sport to the next level," added Chad. "Now we feel like a legit sport and not just people thrown together to curl. Roger is out there recruiting players and the sport will continue to get stron-

ger. He wants the women's team to be in contention every year as well. Roger wants everyone to be proud to be a Vikings player. Instead of driving back and forth every day, we had the opportunity to stay in hotels and that makes a huge difference as well." The Vikings have made progress in every sport, despite not winning a lot of championships. "You can tell the atmosphere around campus has changed. Students, staff and the community are excited about sports and that means a lot to the athletes," said Chad. "Augustana is finding creative ways to make a connection with the community. Vikings' sweaters are found in the stands and people are supporting athletics. It has been a good year." Chad is leaving Augustana and curling, but not education. "I'm going to NAIT next year to take civil engineering. When I'm done, I'll be the smartest grader operator in the world," Chad joked. "They won't let me curl for NAIT, but I still want to curl somewhere."

Midget Vikings capture league crown

By Dan Jensen

Former Camrose Kodiaks defenceman Andrew MacWilliam has signed a two-year entry level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. MacWilliam played 113 games for the Camrose Kodiaks from 2006 to 2009, scoring eight goals and 34 assists. He spent the last four seasons with the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux, from the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, where he scored four goals and assisted on 27 while racking up 327 minutes in penalties. He was named to the WCHA's All-Academic Team in three consecutive seasons (2010-11 to 2012-13). Camrose Kodiaks coach and general manager Boris Rybalka remembers the 6-foot two-inch MacWilliam as a punishing but clean defender. "He made a perfect shoulder hit a couple of weeks ago on another player that went viral and was shown on every major sports network in North America," said Rybalka. "People are still trying to figure out why he got a penalty." The University of North Dakota coach has described MacWilliam as the best player he has ever had. "He praised him for his leadership skills and work ethic," said Rybalka. "He said he plays the game the way it is supposed to be played." MacWilliam has been playing with the Toronto Marlies since the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux were knocked out of the NCAA playoffs by the Yale in the Final Eight. MacWilliam was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the seventh round, 188th overall, of the 2008 NHL entry draft.

An enthusiastic crowd cheered the Vikings in the playoffs.

The Camrose Vikings midget double-A club defeated the Leduc Roughnecks 3-1 in the final series to win the Northern Alberta Midget AA Hockey League on March 25. Camrose lost the first contest of the series 5-3, but came back to win 6-3, 4-0 and 6-4 to take the final series in four games. The Vikings beat the Grande Prairie Storm in a best of three semifinals to advance to the championship finals. Camrose won 5-4 in double overtime, lost 8-5 and defused the Storm 7-2 in the deciding game. Camrose beat Fort Saskatchewan in three games, the Northeast Panthers in two straight and the Strathcona Warriors in three games earlier in the playoffs. Craig Lynes led the club in scoring in the playoffs with 12 goals and 32 points in 16 games. Colton Hovde was second with 13 goals and 28 points. Goalie Kenton White won 11 games, while posting a 2.24 goals against average and a .912 save percentage. The team had a 16-12-4 record in the regular season to place third in the East White Division. Lynes collected 26 goals and 51 points in 32 games to lead the offence. Hovde netted 20 and 39 points in 32 games. White had a 2.74 average and a .882 save percentage during the regular season. Coaches for the league champions were Rick White, Darcy Lynes, Ed Burton and the manager was Kerry Laberge.

Ford HD Platinum Toughness with all the amenities

evidence of fine craftsmanship includes the seats and floor mats, which featured the embroidered Platinum logo. The Ford Super Duty Platinum is available in Ruby Red, Kodiak Brown, Tuxedo Black, Ingot Silver and White Platinum. Interior colour offerings include Pecan and Midnight Black.

By Dan Jensen

The 2013 Ford F-Series Super Duty Platinum Crew Cab at D&D Vehicle Sales and Service combines toughness and capability with the amenities that make the driving experience more enjoyable. "It has a distinct appearance and a long list of features to deliver a superior experience," said D&D sales manager Scott Berry. "You could say it is the latest expression of Built Ford tough luxury." Ford pioneered the high-end luxury truck segment in 1999 when it introduced the specialedition 2000 Harley Davidson F-150. In 2003 the first King Ranch Super Duty arrived, followed by the 2004 Harley Davidson Super Duty. Today, Ford sells a rich mix of high-end Lariat and King Ranch Super Duty models. The new Platinum Super Duty will further meet the growing luxury needs of customers and dealers. Serious performance

The 6.2-litre SOHC gas engine on the Ford Super Duty Platinum brings 385 horsepower and 405 lb-ft of torque. The 6.7-litre turbocharged diesel V8 produces 400 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of earth-moving torque. Both engines shift through a six-speed automatic transmission. The F-250 Super Duty Platinum has a maximum payload capacity of 4,240 lbs. and

Working harder

a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 lbs. or 16,800 lbs. with a fifth-wheel hitch when properly equipped. Braking engineers increased brake rotor swept area by 16.4 percent in front and 14.5 percent in the rear for maximum braking to help dissipate heat, especially on long downhill grades. The changes support a 700-pound increase in the maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating to a bestin-class 14,000 pounds. Improved brake pads and a retuned booster enable enhanced pedal brake feel to increase driver confidence. Bold statement

The exterior of the Super Duty Platinum Crew Cab is lavished in chrome, including the door handles, mirror caps, running boards and exhaust tip. The boxside on both sides of the truck sports the Platinum name in chrome letters and the tailgate is trimmed with a satin chrome

applique, similar to the one used on the F-150 Platinum. Twenty-inch polished aluminum wheels with painted black inserts round out the stunning exterior design. Luxury

The interior of the Ford Super Duty Platinum showcases luxury in the form of unique wood grain appliques. The steering wheel is heated and leather wrapped, with genuine wood accents. The instrument panel, centre stack and door trims are wrapped in premium wood grain. A new storage area on top of the dash includes two USB ports, audio-video connections, SD card slot and a 12-volt charging port for cell phones and other digital devices. The driver's seat has 10-way power adjustable seating and both captain's chairs are upholstered with softer, premium leather, which is also used on the armrests and console. Other

Unlike the past when a truck was little more than a spartan work vehicle, today's truck customers won't compromise, and they expect capability, efficiency and refinement. The 2013 Ford Super Duty Platinum eliminates any thought of compromise. Standard Ford SYNC brings award winning voice controlled connectivity into the cab. With SYNC, Super Duty Platinum drivers can connect compatible mobile phones and media players via Bluetooth or USB to make calls and play back music using voice control. In addition, drivers will get access to Vehicle Health Report and 911 Assist, both nocharge lifetime features, and SYNC services including traffic alerts, business search and more. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all while keeping their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The Super Duty Platinum builds on the foundation of SYNC with MyFord Touch, which is available for the first time. A new high resolution touch screen display gives drivers easy access to phone, climate control, enter-

Scott Berry sales manager D&D Vehicle Sales and Service tainment and navigation features, along with a dramatically expanded voice control vocabulary. The display screen also provides a large, clear view behind the truck when in reverse to help drivers maneuvre in tight spaces or line up conventional trailers with the truck's hitch. Designers have optimized the physical interacts for MyFord Touch to accommodate truck users who may be wearing work gloves by providing easy access to climate controls and audio prepsets on the centre stack. You can see the 2013 Ford Super Duty Platinum at D&D Vehicle Sales and Service, 376048 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780672-4400 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Telus retiree Fred Schwartz presented a cheque for $400 from the Telus Dollars for Doers program to Ed Turner, manager of Habitat for Humanity ReStore last week. Schwartz volunteered more than 250 hours at Habitat for Humanity Restore in 2012. TELUS recognizes and rewards the community volunteer work of our team members and retirees through the Dollars for Doers program. Once an individual has recorded a minimum of 50 hours of volunteer service in a year they are able to direct a $200 grant to the registered Canadian charity or non-profit sports organization of their choice. In 2012, TELUS team members, retirees and Community Ambassadors volunteered a total of 568,000 hours. In recognition of the team members and retirees who participated, TELUS donated $660,000 to Canadian charities. Since 2000, the TELUS team has volunteered over 4.8 million hours.

On April 19, the Camrose branch (No. 57) of the Royal Canadian Legion will be celebrating 85 years of serving the community. The Legion will be starting with a silent auction on April 13, at 5703-48 Avenue, in the dining room. People will be able to view and make bids on items starting at 2 p.m. Bids can be made from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, except on Sunday. The auction closes on April 20 at 10 p.m. A bingo will be held on April 18 in the Memorial Hall beginning at 6 p.m. The Legion holds bingos every Thursday in Camrose and twice a month in Wetaskiwin. Then a busy Friday is planned. "We have MP Kevin Sorenson, Legion dignitaries, representatives from the branch, command and the ladies' auxiliary attending," said organizer Agnes Minnes. "Alex Oliver will be piping in the dignitaries. We will have a memorial service on the stage." The anniversary celebration begins with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and a dinner at 6:30 p.m. The program will salute the ladies' auxiliary and branch past presidents, feature speeches from dignitaries and honour long service members. A dance in the canteen fill follow with Country Twilight. Tickets are $25 for non-members. That price includes the supper, program, cake-cutting ceremony, mug and dance. "We made a com-

memorative glass mug that will be given to each family attending the banquet," added Agnes. "We will have them on sale if someone can't attend the banquet." On Saturday night, an oldtime dance will take place with the band Country Swing featuring Calvin Volrath. He is a two-time Grand North American Old Tyme Fiddling Champion. Calvin was inducted into the North American Fiddling Hall of Fame, he received the Bev Munro Award and was honoured with a lifetime achievement award by the Alberta Men of Country Music. Pete Hicks of CFCW will be a special guest. Calvin is a musical prodigy. To date, he has composed over 450 tunes, many of which have become standard contest and dance tunes across North America and Europe. His influence in the fiddle world is very evident. He has to his credit, 56 of his own albums, numerous music books of his original compositions and an instructional DVD. Calvin was commissioned to compose five fiddle tunes for the Vancouver Winter Olympics 2010 Opening Ceremonies to represent the various styles of fiddling our country has to offer. Tickets are available at the Legion in advance for $20. They will be available at the door for $25. The doors open at 7 and the dance begins at 8 p.m. For more information on the anniversary contact the Legion at 780-672-3325.

Vanderwoude unveils first book adventure By Murray Green

Camrose author Lorne W.P. Vanderwoude will be launching his book entitled The RSA Adventure – The untold story now revealed at Cathel Books on April 13 from 2 to 4 p.m. He will be available for readings and signings. "Since I was 15, I wanted to write a book. Two years ago I decided, it was time to write mine. It evolved during the two years and I constantly worked on it," said Lorne. "I wanted to do something in honour of my adopted mother, Flora E. Vanderwoude, who made such an impact on my life. One thing she really enjoyed was reading books. She gave me a passion for reading and writing that I had to honour her in some way." Lorne's favourite books were the Sugar Creek Gang adventure series by Paul Hutchens. "He wrote 36 books based on his childhood. I often thought that I really liked his style and wanted to follow it," explained Lorne. "I can't do what he did, but I have worked in long term care and security. I thought about reminiscing in the past and telling stories about the changing years." The main character comes from a small town, just like Lorne did. "It's a place where life doesn't change that often. The story is about those changes because they often became a big deal. It is a flashback of what happened in the past. My birth name is David, so the main character in the book is actually myself in a fictional way. I set up sub-characters based on different traits of real people, twisted them and come up with the characters." Lorne said he not only dedicated the book to his mother, but to the three most important women in his life. "I tribute it to both of my mothers and my wife. They all moulded me into the person I am today," said Lorne. I dedicate the ability to write the book to them, not the story itself. The book may be offensive to devout conservative Christians, such as my adopted mother. Both my step-mother and mother died of cancer and I want to honour them." The book is written for teens over 18 and young adults, but is for older adults as well. "I bought up some issues based on shock value and I wanted to make people think. If it didn't make people stop and think a little, it wouldn't be a very interesting book." Lorne plans on releasing another book next year with coauthor Leslie Liddle from Bawlf. "It carries on with the same characters. I listened to expert editors and writers to hear what advice

they had. An editor told me to write a series to avoid starting from scratch each time," said Lorne. "You keep building, just like a tower. I was told don't do it on my own. Use the experts to gain ideas and thoughts from the people who know what they are talking about." The local author wanted to start small with a 144-page mininovel before moving on to a fulllength story. "My next one will be over 200 pages. I want a progression and the more often I write, the better I will get at it," stated Lorne. This is a story, which I have never shared with anyone. It is fiction, but based around some events that occurred during my childhood. This story begins with an event that changed the path, which my life was travelling on. I dare you to come along for the ride on the most thrilling experience of my life," said Lorne. Lorne shares some of his book. "My mind went back to where my adventure first began. I first met her as an adult while I was crossing that football field, which I had walked across for many months. What happened that night was the start of an adventure, which I will never forget as long as I have a memory," shared Lorne. "This adventure was like a thrill ride, which kept on going up and down, then ending in a way that I never thought would ever happen to me." Lorne always had a talent for imagining different story lines in his head. As a child, he would be seen pacing up and down his bedroom, imagining the latest story line, which he had thought up. Since his teen years, Lorne always had a desire to write. He often kept many diaries over the years. Later on as an adult, he has written many letters to the Camrose Booster newspaper. Lorne is donating 10 per cent of his royalties from the book sales to the Bethany Care Group's resident enhancement fund. "My book is available at the three book stores in Camrose and online. The online books are available by print on demand. That means the number of books printed will be based on the number of orders, so I don't have a lot of books on hand," said Lorne. "I do have a book return policy, so stores can stock copies without worries. It is available throughout the world."

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

THANKS TO THE AKERSTROM FAMILY – Thank you so much for the beautiful flowers that were at my mom’s funeral. Very much appreciated. – Gloria ‘THANK YOU’ just doesn’t seem adequate to convey our feelings of gratitude to everyone who helped us to make the last part of Mom’s journey on Earth easier, and celebrate her life. To all our family, friends and neighbours, we thank you for all the hugs, handshakes, cards, phone calls, and words of comfort and sympathy. Your support has been such a help during this sad time. Special thanks to my cousins who participated in Mom’s service, especially Peggy who I can always count on in good times or bad. We are grateful to the Edberg Mennonite Choir for the wonderful music they shared, that Mom loved to listen to. To Pastor Brian, and Tyler from Weber Funeral Home for all of your help, thank you for your patience and understanding. I’d also like to thank everyone who stopped to visit Mom; it really helped to break up the long days a lot. To those extra special caregivers in St. Mary’s, Sunrise Village and Birch Cottage, we appreciate everything you did to cheer her up and make the last few months as comfortable as possible. Rena, you’re an Angel on Earth; thank you for being there! In lieu of thank you cards, a donation is being made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Alberta. – The Family of Agnes Hansen: Connie and Keith Winter, Neil Winter and Brittany Paquette, Bryan, Carmen, Alanna and Brynn Winter

McCartney returns to Vikes Submitted

The Augustana Vikings men’s volleyball program announced that Cole McCartney, member of the University of Alberta Golden Bears in 2012-13 will return to Augustana in the fall. The 6’5” middle played his high school volleyball at Tofield School under coach Kurt Otto, and he has played club volleyball in Camrose as a member of the Vikings for two years. In his final year of club volleyball, Cole played for the NAVC Bears. The NAVC Bears won provincials and finished third at nationals. Cole has also been selected to play for Team Alberta for the last four years, playing Team Alberta Beach in U16 and as a member of the indoor team for the past three years. His U18 Alberta team won gold at the Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops. As a member of the Augustana Vikings, Cole was selected as an ACAC First Team Conference All-Star and a CCAA AllCanadian. This was a remarkable achievement for a player on a team that placed ninth in the conference. “We are extremely pleased to welcome him back to Augustana volleyball,” added director of athletics and head coach Greg Ryan. “Cole’s character and athletic ability are a combination one does not see very often. Having an athlete with the stature of Cole compete at Augustana speaks to the quality of this young program and the great educational experience that Augustana offers to students.” Cole will be pursuing a degree in kinesiology with the goal of becoming a chiropractor.

ACCESSORY INSTALLER The fish were biting at Dried Meat Lake this winter. The Russ Greipl group caught more than 300 fish and released almost all of them. Russ caught a 13 pound Northern Pike that was weighted and witnessed by Wes Coats, left, and Wilf Colleaux. By Murray Green

Russ Greipl caught a whopper of a fish at Dried Meat Lake and he has witnesses to back up his fishy story. The Northern Pike he reeled in weighed more than 13 pounds. The average fish is usually approximately three pounds. "One afternoon we were out on the lake fishing and using an under water camera," explained Russ. "A bunch of fish came into

the view of the camera, along with this huge fish. It simply came into view and bit my hook. I was surprised. It certainly was the biggest Northern Pike that I have caught out there. I have been fishing there for 25 years and live at Tillicum Beach." While it was an easy catch for the veteran fisherman, Russ and his friends spent most of the winter searching for the unusual

PUBLIC NOTICE Please be advised that Camrose County has given first reading to Bylaw 1271 – Parking Bylaw. County Council finds it expedient to pass a bylaw for the regulation and control of vehicle traffic within Camrose County. Copies of the proposed bylaw are available at the County office and on the County website (www. county.camrose.ab.ca) under announcements. Comments on the proposed Bylaw 1271 may be submitted no later than 4:30 p.m., April 12, 2013 to Mike Kuzio at mkuzio@county.camrose.ab.ca or 3755-43 Avenue, Camrose, AB T4V 3S8. County Council will consider second and third readings of Bylaw 1271 at their April 23, 2013 Council meeting.

catch. "We caught about 300 fish during the winter. We catch and release with the exception of saving four for eating," added Russ. "I really like ice fishing in the winter and the fish are very tasty. In the summer, they are a little mushier." The water level at Dried Meat Lake was raised about two years ago and it has attracted more fish into the lake. "Last year we didn't catch anything and this year it was over 300 just in our shack alone. We mark down the number of fish we catch and kept track," added Russ. "There is lots of fish this year, mostly pike, suckers and the odd walleye. I would like to see more walleye, but I don't think the lake is quite deep enough. I would like to see the lake raised a couple more feet, but I don't think that will happen. It would further help for water clarity, quality and to attract walleye." The lake is still the water source for the city of Camrose and area. In years past, the lack of oxygen caused fish to die. "You can tell the water has a lot more oxygen in it because the fish are very active. At this time of year (end of March) they become sluggish if they don't have enough oxygen," Russ explained. "It is a lot better now and the water looks healthier as well." The owner of R and D Hot Tubs is always ready to tell a fish story.

Call of the Land celebrates From Agri-News

Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development’s farm radio program, Call of the Land, celebrated its 60th anniversary on April 1, 2013. Call of the Land is a unique program to Alberta and is the only one of its kind in Canada. “The program was first broadcast on April 1, 1953,” says Caitlynn Reesor, farm radio commentator with Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development. “Its purpose was and is to publicize the department’s programs and policies, provide updates and advice as well as look at what’s going on in agricultural industries.” Call of the Land is currently being carried weekdays on 27 Alberta radio stations and two stations in British Columbia. However, when the program first started in 1953, it had a much smaller audience. “The program was originally carried by just six stations, and there was quite a scramble actually getting those first programs to air,” says Reesor. “There have been 11 commentators since the program started in 1953. Everett McCrimmon was the first and then came Scott Flewitt, Ed Hamula, John Andrew, Warren Wismer, Don Potter, Douglas Pettit, Phil Thomas, Gerard Vaillancourt, Jack Howell and now myself.” “I’ve interviewed provincial agriculture ministers, deputy ministers and specialists from many divisions and branches of the department as well as representatives from production, processing and marketing areas of Alberta’s agriculture industries.” The calendar of upcoming events on the program has always been an invaluable way to keep the audience well-informed.
