‘Percy-like’ train

in his garage at home. Last Saturday, with a great deal of effort, he moved the cloned train engine from his residence to the Railway Park train tracks. Each Tuesday and Sunday, throughout the season, ‘Percy,’ with Conductor Bruce at the controls, will be pulling a crew car full of museum guests down the facility’s tracks. The Camrose Railway Museum and Park, a treasure for people young and old alike which attracts visitors from far and wide, opens for the summer this weekend!

Automated voting approved By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council has approved the use of an automated voting system in the Oct. 21 municipal election. City manager Damian Herle told council May 6 that automated voting is not something that is new. "Municipalities have used automated voting for a number of years," said Herle. "Some (municipalities) still do it by hand but the number is few." Herle said the system will create efficiencies in terms of the voting process. Council also appointed Kim Isaak, general manager of corporate and protective services, as the returning officer for the 2013 election. The advance polls for the 2013 election will be at the Camrose Fire Hall Friday, October 11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, Wednesday, October 16, from 1:00 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday, October 19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The returning officer will designate the locations of institutional voting stations and shall set the times on Oct. 21 at which votes will be taken in the institutions. Any resident eligible to vote in the municipal election may vote at an advance poll. Election officials will attend the residence of any person who is physically incapable of attending a polling station. These persons are requested to make arrangements in advance with the office of the returning officer. As polling stations are confirmed, further information will be provided to council. Nomination day for the election is September 23, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.

New requirement

Voters will be required in this year's election to show one piece of identification indicating their residency. Voters will also need to sign a declaration in the presence of an officer at a voting station declaring their eligibility. The basic proof of identity and current residence requirement can be satisfied by identification issued by a Canadian government (federal, provincial or local) which contains a photograph of the elector, as well as name and address, and identification authorized by the chief electoral officer. The term of office for local elected candidates has been increased to four years, up from three years. Municipal Affairs will be conducting several information sessions for potential candidates to learn more about the obligations associated with local government. The City of Camrose website will be updated with election information, including candidate handbooks/information, voter information, and advanced voting locations. School trustees

The City of Camrose will conduct the election of school trustees to Battle River Regional Division 31 and the Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division 41 subject to the school divisions entering into a written agreement.

Arbor Day to be celebrated with tree planting By Murray Green

The City of Camrose is inviting residents to help celebrate Arbor Day by planting trees in the Stoney Creek Valley on May 22. "This event is a great opportunity to restore areas of the Camrose park systems and improve the natural areas," said Samara Froland, Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society summer coordinator. The city is hoping to plant 1,000 trees, but they need your help. The Arbor Day event will take place on Wednesday at the Stoney Creek Centre on 39 Avenue, east of Parkview Drive, at 7 p.m. "Everything is provided by the city, all residents need to

do is show up ready to plant a few trees," added Samara. Local scouts will also be planting trees this year. "We want to re-forest the valley and plant some shelterbelts," said Chris Clarkson, city parks director. "We are helping Mother Nature with replacing trees damaged by beavers, bugs or disease. Some older trees are dying and we want to replace those in our urban forest." Trees will also be planted in the Mirror Lake area and around some sports fields and park areas. "We are applying for some grants to help us with those costs. It will give us more green-

ery and provide shelter from the wind," added Chris. The Arbor Day tree planting is the first event this summer offered by the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society, which will be hosting educational events throughout the summer. Samara is from the Hughenden area and is a University of Alberta, Augustana Campus student. "I heard about the position through the university. I was doing some work with the purple martin birds," said Samara. "I will be planning programs throughout the summer every Thursday and the first one will be on May 30 at the Stoney Creek

Centre. The programs usually run from 7 to 9 p.m. and go until early August." The topics will be on environmental issues, local problems and focus on family activities. "I will be finding speakers for events. Another thing that I do is help find landlords for purple martin houses. I will also be helping with the geo-locators and also assist in planning the purple martin festival," said Samara. "It will be exciting to see where the birds come from and where they have travelled." A schedule for the summer events will be available in a couple of weeks.

What were the Premier and Municipal Minister/MLA Doug Griffiths doing at the Capital Region board Katz vote yesterday? Despite all the Premier's repeated (previous) assertions that this government would not give any tax dollars to the Katz project, her (and Griffiths') actions yesterday definitely give the appearance of support for the Katz arena. This government has found a circuitous way to give Mandell access to millions of Albertans' tax dollars. The Premier's (and Municipal Minister Griffith's) presence yesterday cannot help but have influenced the voting results. Albertans had suspected (dreaded) a circuitous route into our taxpayer pockets. Outrageous! Especially considering Alberta's budget deficit, the provincial debt

and all the extensive "cuts" Albertans have just been subjected to. This government is borrowing money to meet its infrastructure needs to build schools, hospitals, and roads, yet it is giving taxpayer dollars to a multi-billionaire? Disgusting! And very disappointing! It certainly looks like Alberta should undergo an investigation into corruption, akin to what is currently happening to the former mayor of Laval, and the resulting 37 arrests (as of yesterday). The Alberta government has already shown that it is beholding to the energy moguls EATL/ WATL, SNC Lavolin, and now Katz. It certainly looks like Alberta could do with a similar cleanup. Many Albertans had hoped that yesterday would put an end to this multi-billionaire's attempt to plunder tax dollars. We had hoped that this government would actually honour the Premier's promise to not contribute to (and participate in) this misuse of our tax dollars. We can add yet another broken promise to the PCs already rather lengthy list (printed in a last week's Camrose Booster Letter to the Editor). Disappointed again. Marion Leithead, Bawlf

MCHAPPY DAY SUPPORTERS

A small step in the right direction The announcement by Alberta Hockey last week that body checking would be banned in the Peewee division was great news. For many long-time advocates, it had been too long coming but, on matters that are as divisive as this one has been, nothing changes until public opinion eventually swings enough to change the balance. That has finally happened. Leading to the change was the dissemination of the results of a seven-year study led by Dr. Carolyn Emery of the University of Calgary. A comparison of injury among Peewee players in Quebec, where body-checking had been banned, and in Alberta where it was allowed, showed that removing body checking at Peewee level would reduce the risk of injury and concussion by more than three-fold. There was no significant difference in the type of injury in the two provinces. Also contributing to the swing in public opinion was the fact that participation in minor hockey had been diminishing during recent years with the reason given by 65% was fear of concussion and other injury. Players in the 11- and 12-year-old age range are especially vulnerable to concussion and other injury because of the variation in their physical and brain development; it is greater than in other age categories. Beginning in the 2013-14 season, Alberta Hockey has ruled that there will be no body checking in all categories of Peewee hockey and penalties will be assessed for players who do body check. Alberta Liberal health critic, Dr. David Swann, expressed satisfaction with the decision made by Alberta Hockey saying, “By banning body checking for players under 13, we can prevent at least 1,500 injuries per year including 400 concussions.” He added that this has the potential to save Alberta more than $210,000 annually in direct public health care. There is risk in whatever activity youngsters engage; there is risk in inactivity, too, of poor health and perhaps isolation as well. It is a public obligation to provide opportunities for physical development in a safe environment; Kudos to Alberta Hockey for banning body checking at the Peewee level. It is my hope that the trend to reduce risk of concussion and other types of injury in hockey, or any other activity, will extend to the professional level. The life and well-being of older players is no less important; too many of them pay the price of concussion with years of depression, even suicide.

EVEREST® GBX NOW CONTAINS EVEREST® 2.0. SAFE, RELENTLESS CONTROL THAT BEST FITS YOUR FIELDS. EVEREST® GBX now contains EVEREST® 2.0 in addition to fluroxypyr, the same ingredient in Attain™, providing exceptional control and economic value for managing troublesome grass and broadleaf weeds. RELENTLESS CONTROL & CROP SAFETY: BEST OF BOTH WORLDS In University of Saskatchewan field trials over the past two years, researchers found that regardless of conditions, EVEREST 2.0 delivered Flush after flush™ control of wild oats and green foxtail with no risk of injury symptoms. The crop was able to grow without adverse effects, thanks to the super selectivity of EVEREST 2.0 on all varieties of spring and durum wheat. “We like that EVEREST 2.0 and EVEREST GBX give customers a wide application window that lets you spray at your earliest convenience, regardless of weather conditions,” says Brent McIndoe of Andrukow Group Solutions Inc. “Spraying early provides the best weed control, and with EVEREST 2.0, young wheat has the best chance to become established and reach its top potential yield. And, at the same time, if the rains come and the crop advances, EVEREST 2.0 and EVEREST GBX are still safe to apply.”

SUPERIOR FORMULATION AND CONVENIENCE “EVEREST 2.0 is an advanced, highly concentrated liquid formulation,” says Craig Brekkas, Herbicide Marketing Manager Western Canada for Arysta LifeScience. “It’s a user-friendly, no-hassle product that wheat growers can rely on, with exceptional convenience and flexibility.” EVEREST GBX contains one 2-litre bottle of EVEREST 2.0 along with two bottles of GBX, and will treat 80 -100 acres.

EVEREST GBX. A herbicide you can count on. For more information on EVEREST GBX visit Andrukow Group Solutions Inc., or call 1-866-761-9397

CHOOSE THE BEST SOLUTION FOR YOUR WEED SPECTRUM AND PRESSURE When you add the recent discovery of glyphosateresistant kochia in Southern Alberta to the existing challenges of Group 1 wild oat resistance and Group 2 cleaver, kochia and chickweed resistance, it’s even more important to have choices that can best fit your weed spectrum and don’t break the bank. “EVEREST GBX can be customized in terms of rate and tank-mix partners, based on individual weed spectrum and pressure,” says Brekkas. “EVEREST GBX tank-mixed with MCPA, 2,4-D or DEPLOY® gets more than 50 broadleaf weeds, including the most critical resistant weeds in Western Canada. And all at a better price than tank-mixing EVEREST 2.0 with a comparable broadleaf option.”

Cargill almost ready By Dan Jensen

Work is almost ready to proceed on the new Cargill canola crushing facility east and south of Camrose. Cargill corporate affairs communications manager Brigitte Burgoyne told The Camrose Booster last week that site soil preparations could get underway as early as late May or early June. "There are still a couple of approvals we have to obtain with regard to foreign land ownership and the water act, said Burgoyne. "We're hoping to get word on the water act within the next three weeks." Cargill will be providing Camrose and County residents with up to date information throughout the construction process. "We're going to make an announcement on the groundbreaking about a week before the actual event," said Burgoyne. The initial work will be done by NuEdge Construction, a Camrose company owned by Wayne and Michelle Bowman. "We're in the process of finalizing the contract with them," said Burgoyne. Cargill's local contact is Tyler Acaster, who comes from the Ag Horizons location to work at the canola plant. "He will be the person who is running the facility," said Burgoyne. Cargill met a couple of weeks ago with residents about the new road that will be built to the site. "They have been given the plan and are working through some of the details," said Burgoyne. Cargill has been meeting with local organizations to show its commitment to being a good partner in the community. "We want to be able to come in and help the community in areas where it may be necessary or needed," said Burgoyne. "We really want to integrate with the community." The new plant is expected to have the capacity to process 3,500 tonnes per day of canola seed. "The initial annual crush volume is expected to be approximately 850,000 tonnes," states a Cargill project summary. "The finished products will include approximately 1,500 tonnes per day of food grade canola oil and 2,000 tonnes per day of canola meal animal feed." Cargill believes the construction of the facility will generate 800,000 man hours of employment. Operation and maintenance would require approximately 50 full-time staff. Ken Stone, commercial manager for Cargill's Canadian canola processing business, said the new plant will enable Cargill to offer new marketing opportunities for canola producers in Alberta. "This is our second major Canadian investment in canola crushing and demonstrates our confidence in the continued growth and competitiveness of the canola industry in this country," said Stone. "The facility will have the capacity to produce both conventional and specialty canola, which will enable us to significantly increase our contracting programs in the area.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER May 14, 2013

Performing Arts Centre starting to take shape By Dan Jensen

The new performing arts centre is beginning to take shape. Crane operators and construction workers from Clark Builders have been giving Camrose audiences a show for the last two weeks as they lift into place the steel girders for the building's 80-foot fly tower. "The fly tower is where all the rigging is," said project manager Michael Madsen. "It's called the fly tower because it is from there that they fly the sets, the draperies and all the other aerial things that they do in a theatre." The steel frames were prefabricated in Nisku before being transported into Camrose. "Having them pre-fabricated saved about a week on the schedule, versus bringing them out and stick building them," said Madsen. The fly tower is the most distinguishing part of the arts centre, along with the curved concrete section nearest to the Augustana Faith and Life Centre. "That is the back of the audience chamber," said Madsen. "The seats on the other side slope down towards the stage opening." The performing arts centre's front entrance will be covered by a combination of stage and brick. "The shape is curved to complement the look of the curve of the library and forum building," said Madsen. "The building opens out to the quad area, which is the specific design that was put in by the project architect." The performing arts centre is scheduled for substantial completion by the end of next January. "We're expecting the steel framing will be done by the end of July, and that by September

or October it will be buttoned up and ready for the interior work," said Madsen. The final stage will be the actual fit up, which includes the installation of the draperies, sound system, audio visual and other theatrical parts. The performing arts centre will include a number of initiatives designed to save energy, including LED stage lights and

photovoltaics (power cells) covering the fly tower, that will convert sunshine into electricity. "We are just finalizing the pricing on that, so that will be going before the energy management committee at the university for funding," said Madsen. "At the peak loads we expect to be able to generate extra power for the grid, resulting in a direct savings for the theatre."

The Camrose performing arts centre will include a 550seat performing arts venue, a multipurpose space, dressing rooms, and an orchestra pit. The facility will be available for use by community groups, visiting performers and students, and U of A students and faculty for academic purposes. The project is being funded with $4.5 million from the municipal sustainabil-

ity initiative, $4.5 from City of Camrose debenture, $4.25 million from City of Camrose front ending to be repaid through a fund-raising campaign, $1 million from Camrose County, $750,000 from the University of Alberta and $3.5 million from the Province of Alberta. University of Alberta's in-kind contribution (parking, landscaping and land value) totals $4.3 million.

Concerns expressed about snow clearing at airport By Dan Jensen

City council listened to concerns of the Camrose Airport Commission at its May 6 committee of the whole meeting about snow clearing at the Camrose Airport. The airport was rendered unusable for a period of time during the first part of March after the accumulation of snow on the runways reached more than three inches. "As a result of the snow on the runway there was a loss of business to operators on the airport," said Camrose Airport Commission member Blain Fowler. "The folks at Aerotechnical Services reported that movements in and out of their service facility were interrupted. Camrose Flight Service curtailed certain aircraft movements with the result that machines that could have been rented out remained grounded for safety reasons." Camrose Airport Commission chair Steve Dammann told council that several parts of the City were cleared of snow after the March snowfalls despite requests from the Camrose airport manager that something be done and the fact that the Camrose airport is one of the top priorities for snow clearing. He urged the City to reduce the maximum allowable snow accumulation threshold to no greater

than two inches and give the airport manager more say as to when the snow clearing crews are called out. "It is very important that the airport manager have the ability to say this is an unsafe condition," said Dammann. Under the 2012/13 Airside Winter Operations program, snow removal on the runway begins when snow depths reach five to seven centimetres (two to three inches). When smaller snow accumulations exist (less than three inches) the City does not mobilize its snow removal crews to the airport for a full clearing. City of Camrose acting general manager, engineering services, Jeremy Enarson, indicated in a written report that, upon review of the overall winter operations budget for the airport for the last ten years, there has been a noticeable increase in that component of the operations budget that exists as a result of snow removal activities. "For the seven winter seasons between 2003/04 and 2009/10, the snow removal at the airport ranged between $3,000 and $10,000 per year (salaries and equipment). For the past three winters the cost of snow removal at the airport has increased to between $25,000 and $32,000 per year. It is dif-

ficult to accurately reflect how much of this increase is due to the implementation of the Airside Winter Operations Program, which was first implemented in 2010/11 and how much was due to higher than normal snowfall levels. However, as there were likely a few winters between 2003/04 and 2009/10 which were comparable to those seen in recent years, administration believes that the implementation of the Airside Winter Operations Program has resulted in some additional cost to the City." Enarson further stated the request to reduce the maximum allowable snow accumulation at the airport from three inches to two could, for an average year, result in City snow removal crews being sent to the airport as much as fifty per cent more often than what is currently seen. Dammann suggested one of the reasons for the higher costs may be that crews are clearing the airport runways on overtime. He added a number of other cities have staff who are dedicated solely to keeping airport runways bare and dry 24 hours a day seven days a week. Fowler said while there has been no study conducted regarding the economic impact of the airport on the City of Camrose, the City of Wetaskiwin has concluded that its airport con-

tributes $9 million to the local economy. He noted that private commercial activity at the airport includes visits from executives from major corporations, including Cargill and Meridian, and Big Valley Jamboree entertainers, and that the airport is frequently used for agricultural chemical applications. He stated, as well, that the airport has the capacity to accelerate responses to natural disasters or emergencies, mitigating loss of life and property. Both Dammann and Fowler said the removal of snow from the runway is critical because of the fact that aircraft wheels have smaller tires than vehicles that operate on the highway. "You can compare aircraft tires to the tires of a shopping cart," said Fowler. "It is difficult to push a shopping cart through the parking lot when there are three inches of snow covering the ground." Al Kurtz, president of Camrose Flight Centre, said it is clear to him the quality of snow removal at the airport has deteriorated. "There are times that they clear the runways and leave big banks of snow which constitute a serious safety hazard. When someone calls and says something needs to be done they need to be taken seriously."

Dammann estimated the one-time cost of clearing the runway at the Wetaskiwin airport to be in the range of $500 to $800. Councillor Gerry Galenza questioned why the City, which has a budget of $42,000,000, is having difficulty with the increased costs of clearing snow at the airport. "We are not looking for a two to three per cent increase in taxes to look after the airport," said Galenza. "We should address the policy as a council." Councillor Galenza said if public works is maxed out on all the areas it has to get to after a snowfall, it might be wise to consider the hiring of a private firm, as it does at Rudy Swanson Park. Councillor Max Lindstrand said he is opposed to the idea of taking money from one area of the budget to fund another area. He suggested using a grader that may not be fully utilized or giving the work to a private contractor. "We have to have paramount sensitivity to the airport's needs. If the airport manager says the airport needs to be cleared we need to do it." City administration will be providing a full report and recommendations on snow removal at the airport at council's July 15 committee of the whole meeting.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER May 14, 2013

Most Don’t! Survey results show a majority of grade 8 students had not consumed alcohol. Last fall, the Camrose & Area Alcohol and Drug Task Force surveyed 134 grade eight students in Camrose, asking them about their experiences with alcohol use. The Task Force produced a brochure with the survey results hoping to initiate a dialogue with students, parents and the general community about alcohol use. The brochure will be shared with junior high students. The majority (74%) of the students surveyed reported their age as 13 years old. Of the students surveyed, 65 were female and 69 male. The following survey results provide interesting information about young people and alcohol: • Most students thought that 80% of their peers drink. In reality, only 44% of students have consumed alcohol. • Most students reported that they had not consumed alcohol since the school year commenced (the survey was administered in October 2012). • Of the students surveyed, 56% reported they have never drank alcohol while 44% reported drinking alcohol at least once. • For those who reported drinking alcohol, drinking occurred at home (45%), with relatives (15%), with friends (10%), in the park (2%) and other locations (28%). • Reasons to drink included: to celebrate, to get drunk, to have with a meal, for the taste, to be sociable, to relax and to be a part of the team. • The majority of students have not missed class, been in trouble or felt guilt due to their alcohol use. • Most students have not been hurt, been in an argument or done something they have regretted due to alcohol. • Most students who don’t drink, reported they did not want to disappoint their parents. • Most thought that their peers consumed 1-2 drinks in a sitting while most students reported having less than 1 drink per sitting. The survey results are thought provoking and reflect a snapshot of a group of 13-year-olds starting grade 8. Research shows that as students move through junior high and into senior high, frequency, consumption and impact of alcohol use changes. Now is the time to start thinking about having conversations with your child about alcohol. Talking about the issues related to alcohol helps support teens to make informed and healthy decisions about their choice to use alcohol or not. The Camrose & District Alcohol and Drug Force are asking parents to think about their own attitudes and behaviors about alcohol and how this may influence their children’s attitudes and behaviours. Parents are also encouraged to look at the perceptions and realities of alcohol use among their own peers and to think about the impact this has on the young people watching and listening to them. Plans are in place to carry on the conversation with the community over the next few months as the Camrose & District Alcohol and Drug Task Force plans activities to support open dialogue about alcohol with all age groups. For more information, please contact:

"I remember going to Camrose several times with the Don Messer show and playing at the senior centre. I think we even played once in Camrose after that show. The Prairies, especially Saskatchewan and Alberta, have really supported our shows well and it will be exciting to go back and meet some of those friends again. It's where we have the most fans. Our show is very rural-minded and grass

roots, and they just love the fiddle music. They also enjoy the homespun humour we have." He now has his own family tradition of old-time music started by his father and the Merv Woods Orchestra back in 1950. Scott's mother Carolyn still plays piano and travels with the band today. Swingin' Fiddles features three fiddlers playing together in harmony. "We have taken the old western swing form of the

'20s and '30s, big band, pop standards, country, gospel and plenty of old-time fiddling pack the program. We have re-written the arrangements for three fiddles in three part harmony," explained Scott. "It has the sweet sound from the fiddle, but still that catchy groove kind of a tune with a real swing to it." The show also features sensational step dancing, home spun family humour and of course Scott's famous trick fiddling that earned him the Canadian Novelty Fiddle Championship title and 'The Flippin' Fiddler' nickname make this a show you don't want to miss. "Most of the show will have the fiddles in three-part harmony, but we have a back-up band, so it is a real mixture." The three Swingin' Fiddles will be Scott, his nephew Ben Norris and 19-year-old Emily Yarascavitch. Scott studied classical violin from age four. He also plays several other instruments, but his favourite is fiddle – whether it’s classical, jazz, big band, country, swing, Celtic, or old-time music. His love of fiddling has been passed down through six generations of his family. Continued on page 18

Street closure

Council approved requests from Camrose Cruisers to close 50 Street between 48 A Avenue and 51 Avenue on May 25 for the annual Car Show and Shine, and Exhibition Drive on May 24 and May 26 for the 100-foot race trials. The Cruisers parade on May 25 will occur at approximately 6 p.m. with the same parade route as utilized in past years (51 Avenue near Public Works to start, going west to 50 Street, south on 50 Street to 48 Avenue, west on 48 Avenue to 53 Street, south on 53 Street to 44 Avenue, east on 44 Avenue to 50 Street, then north on 50 Street to 51 Avenue). A Drive-In movie will be shown on the east wall of the Max McLean Arena on May 25 starting at 10 p.m. In the event of poor weather that cancels the event the Show and Shine, Cruisers Parade and Drive-In will be held July 6. The 100-foot race trials were held last year at the Camrose Regional Exhibition parking lot. "The main reason for the

relocation is to improve the venue to attract the race cars," said a letter to the City from Ken Mah. "Due to the sport's popularity, other towns have been hosting the events. The sport has grown where we have to improve to be competitive. Race cars have dropped from 70 cars down to 39 last year. The main complaints were poor track conditions and no side by side racing." Mah said the side by side racing will add another level of excitement for the racers and the public. Performing Arts Centre

Council approved a performing arts centre Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association. "In order to establish and register the not-for-profit (NFP) entity, both a Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association are needed to meet the criteria required under the Companies Act of the Province of Alberta," explained Camrose Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen. Both documents present the mechanics of the NFP (relationships, membership numbers, structure numbers, voting methods, meeting proceedings) and have little to do with how the NFP will be operated.

"This will fall to the pending Not for Profit Operating Agreement, a document that will delve into the details of the relationships and responsibilities of the NFP board in operating the performing arts centre," said Nielsen. "This document is currently being drafted and will be presented to City council when completed in draft form." Lease of land

Council approved the lease of 60 acres of City-owned quarter section in south Camrose to Camrose Regional Exhibition and Panhandle Productions for Big Valley Jamboree camping. Panhandle Productions producer Larry Werner told City manager Damian Herle in a February letter that it has become apparent that to sustain sell out events, Big Valley Jamboree needs to provide better camping facilities. "Our current land used for camping has several water issues; each summer prior to the festival we pump low lying areas to maximize camping requirements. However, it only takes one rain to make most of the low spots problematic. Secondly, the sizes of RV units have increased dramatically, and we are being forced to alter the dimensions of our site."

Werner said the request should not be anticipated as a way to increase Big Valley Jamboree capacities. "The land would be utilized to accommodate our current numbers in better fashion than we can currently." The land will be seeded this spring with a nurse crop so that it will be ready in time for 2014. The land will be leased on a year-to-year basis, with automatic renewals, unless a one-year notice is provided by either the City or CRE. Bylaw defeated

Council defeated a bylaw that would have allowed the City to collect a local improvement tax for the construction of a concrete separate sidewalk on 46 Avenue between 45 and 46 Street. The total estimated cost of the project was $24,000, with $8,201 coming from the net local improvement tax. Procurement policy

Council approved a new procurement policy that governs the acquisition of goods and services by the purchase or lease with City funds from all sources. The policy ensures that goods and services are acquired in a manner that ensures the City: obtains value for the money by incurring the lowest cost

Canadian fiddle champion Woods coming to CRE May 21 Continued from page 15

"When people in the audience nudge each other and say 'I remember my grandfather playing that song, or I remember my mother dancing in the kitchen to that song' it all makes it worthwhile to us as performers," he added. "We are catering the seniors' market, which is under serviced at the best of time," explained Scott. "We are both recalling memories and making new ones for people through our music and show. We have lots of young people tag along with parents and grandparents because it is raising funds and they say that was a great show." Scott can turn somersaults and step dance while playing the fiddle. For seven years Scott was the musical director and played the part of Don in Memories of

Don Messer’s Jubilee. He combines his superb playing ability with a wonderful sense of humour, along with other talented musicians who join him on stage. This is truly a show to be enjoyed. "It's a variety show in the true sense because we have music, humour, dancing and Ben does a skit like cousin Ned from Hee Haw." Nephew Ben is a gifted musician in drums, fiddle, guitar, bass and mandolin. He will be joining the Swingin' Fiddles in one of the lead roles. He began his musical career playing fiddle at age three. Along with his mother (Kendra), Ben was awarded Most Entertaining Fiddler at the 1993 Canadian Open Fiddle Contest when he was five years old. "It's like going on a long family vacation with family and

friends. We left for western Canada on May 3 and we go back after our June 27 show," Scott said. Emily plays fiddle and step dances. She began dancing at age four and took up the fiddle a short time later. Her love for both led her to the competition circuit at six years of age. Emily has been the recipient of such prestigious titles as the 12 and under Shelburne Junior Champion, the 18 and Under Maritime Fiddle and Step Dance Champion, the 18 and Under Junior Canadian Champion, and a Grand Masters Junior Showcase Performer. Scott's mom Carolyn Woods started playing piano at age four. She began chording for old-time fiddle music at age eight. Carolyn joined her husband's orchestra in 1956. Over the years she

accompanied many great fiddlers as house pianist at fiddle and step dance contests, including the Canadian Open in Shelburne, Ontario. She also toured across Canada for eight years as pianist with Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee. Wes Dymond is the master drummer. He has been playing drums for the past eight years. Coming from a musical family, drumming comes naturally as his dad plays drums as did his late great-uncle. As a graduate of the music program at Wilfrid Laurier University, Wes had the opportunity to play a wide variety of genres including big band swing with the university jazz band and classical orchestral literature. "You don't have to be a fiddle or country music fan to enjoy our

show," added Scott. "We keep it fast paced with a lot of music and not a lot of talking. We do tell some corny, fun jokes, but we keep it clean because we put on a family show for all ages. We play at a lot of churches, charities and fund-raising concerts." If you enjoy fiddling at its best, you don't want to miss this show. Tickets for the family show are $20 for adults and $10 for children ages six to 12. Children five and under are admitted at no charge. Tickets are on sale at Wisemen's Way Bookstore (502850 Street, Camrose), or call toll free 1-855-SCOTTWOODS (1-855-726-8896) to charge.

Traffic analysis shows a decrease in vehicle collisions By Dan Jensen

The number of vehicle collisions declined by 1.2 per cent in 2012 to 676 according to a Camrose Police Service traffic analysis. Twenty-eight of the collisions involved injuries, while 613 resulted in property damage over $6,000. Twenty-eight resulted in property damage under $2,000. The total number of on-highway traffic collisions in 2012 was 441, up from 407 the year previous. On-highway collisions which resulted in injury declined by 15 per cent to 22. "This was the third consecutive year on-highway injury collisions have decreased," states the analysis. "On highway injury collisions have reduced 35 per cent over the past three years." Police laid charges in 166 of the 441 on-highway collisions (38 per cent), compared to 179 of the 407 (44 per cent) in 2011. "It was noted that in 2010, police laid charges in only 22 of the 426 (29 per cent) on-highway collisions," states the analysis. "This resulted in the traffic unit member providing further training to patrol members in 2011, which enhanced their investigative abilities at collisions and increased enforcement. This increased enforcement acted as

a deterrent and assisted the prevention of future collisions. This effort will continue in 2013." Forty-nine of the collisions were a result of drivers failing to properly stop or yield at intersections. "In 2011, 105 collisions occurred at intersections, therefore attempts were made by traffic and patrol members to monitor several intersections for these violations to help reduce collisions in 2012," states the analysis. "With the statistical data the enforcement strategies for 2012 to improve intersection safety shows a decrease of 23 per cent for collisions at intersections." The enforcement of noncriminal offences (provincial/ bylaw offences) increased by 71 per cent. Moving violations increased by 92 per cent, from 5,395 to 10,346, and non-moving violations increased by 12 per cent, from 878 to 981. Hit and runs

The number of hit and run collisions increased by one to 177, while the number of bicycle and motorcycle collisions totalled six. Pedestrian collisions increased from two in 2011 to seven in 2012. "Enforcement initiatives and strategies will include pedestrian safety measures to attempt to lower this number

to what was achieved in 2011," states the report. Camrose Police Service has implemented a program to educate young cyclists on the rules of the road and traffic safety tips in order to provide young cyclists with the knowledge of bicycle safety. The service has also been a partner in the Public Health Bicycle Safety Rodeo, and played an active role in educating young riders. December busiest month

Fifty-seven of the collisions occurred during the month of December, compared to 55 in November, 49 in October, 44 in March and 41 in February. June was the month in which the fewest number of collisions (20) occurred. The day of the week with the highest number of collisions was Friday (88). Tuesday was second with 63, while Monday and Thursday each had 62. Sunday was the day of the week with the fewest number of collisions, at 50. Road conditions were noted to be a factor in 45 per cent of the collisions. Weather conditions were noted to be a factor in 13 per cent of the collisions. Top locations

The four intersections where collisions were most likely to occur in Camrose were 48

Street and 51 Avenue, 51 Avenue and 53 Street, 48 Street and 49 Avenue,, and 39 Street and 48 Avenue. "In 2012 there were 81 collisions at intersections as compared to 105 in 2011, which is a decrease of 23 per cent," states the analysis. "Provincially the three main causes for collisions at intersections are unsafe left turn across the path of an oncoming vehicle, stop sign violations or disobeying traffic control devices." The analysis states that 48 Street and 51 Avenue is an example of a well-engineered intersection where, due to the high traffic volumes, the collision frequency is greater. Who is involved?

The age category to be most likely involved in a collision for both sexes was between 21 and 30. There were 117 reported collisions involving male operators less than 30 years of age, which was consistent with the numbers from 2011. Curb the Danger

The Camrose Police Service's Curb the Danger program has been effective in helping police detect impaired drivers. "The Curb the Danger program was implemented in Camrose in September, 2010," states the analysis. "In the 12 months preceding the Curb the Danger

program being implemented, a total of 13 impaired drivers were located and charged as a result of citizen complaints. In the first year after implementation of the Curb the Danger program, September 2010 to September 2011), a total of 29 impaired drivers were located and charged, a 123 per cent increase. In 2012 there were a total of 30 drivers located and charged with impaired driving related offences as a result of complaints received from the public. The effectiveness of this program has been very successful." Camrose Police Service checked 5,965 vehicles during the 49 Check Stops in 2012. As a result, they were able to charge three people with impaired driving offences. "While the Check Stop program is aimed at detecting impaired drivers in the act, a large component of the program is also aimed at educating the driving public of the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving," states the analysis. "The intent of the program is to change public attitude towards drinking and driving rather than just convictions. The vast majority of the public provide positive reaction to the Check Stop program."

Community advisors add to BRCF administrative fund By Dan Jensen

Community leaders contributed another $15,380 to Battle River Community Foundation's administrative endowment fund during a professional advisors' luncheon at the Camrose Railway Station May 8. The Battle River Community Foundation established the administrative endowment fund so that all fund-raising efforts could be devoted to its community service account. Earnings from the fund are used to support the administrative expenses. The professional advisors' luncheon has raised $155,000 since it was started twelve years ago. The total amount in the fund at the close of business in 2012 was $708,000. Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler expressed his appreciation to everyone who attended the luncheon. "It means a great deal to us to have you, our professional advisors, the leaders of the community, once again step up to the plate with support for the Battle River Community Foundation administrative fund. I would like to congratulate you for being part of something that will truly make a difference in our community in five years, in ten years, and even one hundred years from now and beyond. Your generosity and community spirit is truly appreciated. Sincere thanks from the entire community, for the good that you have done today which will last forever." Individuals and corporations who have pledged to contribute at least $10,000 to the administrative endowment fund are: Camrose Insurance Services; Farnham West & Stolee; Fielding &

Making contributions to Battle River Community Foundation's administrative endowment fund at the Camrose Railway Station May 8 were: Glen Bulger, Battle River Credit Union; Lawrence Dufresne; Kathy Schwab, Bank of Montreal; Brandon Kroeger and Greg Joyce, Kroeger Joyce; Grant Nahirniak, Investors Group, Edmonton; Corey Kudrowich, Investors Group; Janice Zimmerman, H&R Block; Larry Johnson, Knaut Johnson Francoeur; Rod Knaut; Dave Chamberlain, Sun Life; Brian Harberg and Greg Wood, Harberg Nikiforuk Wood; Cindy Cook, RBC Investments; Norm and James Mayer and Darren Daniels, Central Agencies; Jon Stolee and Scott Farnham, Farnham West Stolee; Mike Kelemen and Dan Cunningham, Co-operators; Ian Smith and Peter Grayburn, Fielding & Company; and Doug Tien and Shirley Rostad, Grant Thornton. Professional advisors who made contributions but were unable to attend were: Linda Norman, Linda Norman Professional; Corey Bablitz, RBC Dominion Securities; Debbie Orcheski, BMO Nesbitt Burns; Martin West, Farnham West Stolee; Linda Scott, Scotiabank; and Don Howden, Raymond James Ltd.

Company; Harberg Nikiforuk Wood; Knaut Johnson Francoeur; Corey Kudrowich â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Investors Group Financial Services; and Shirley Rostad and Doug Tien, Grant Thornton LLP. Three-step process

Fowler said the Battle River Community Foundation works by receiving gifts from generous community minded people who wish to create an endowment, investing the endowment with The Edmonton Community Foundation, which has total endowments of some $300 million managed by ten individual investment firms, and granting earnings from the endowments. "We allocate one per cent to our own administration, top up all funds in accordance with the change in the cost price index in the province of Alberta in the previous year, and then pass on

the balance in accordance with donors' wishes to meet the needs of the Battle River community. Battle River Community Foundation's was, at the end of business in 2012, just $2,622,747 away from its goal of having $10 million in endowments by the end of 2014. "We are slightly behind schedule on the way to the objective," said Fowler. "Are we discouraged? Are we ready to throw in the towel? Not on your life. Each member of our board is tasked with going out and raising $25,000 before year end by knocking on doors, telling our story and encouraging others to buy into our vision." Successful year

Battle River Community Foundation had a successful 2012, receiving gifts from 608 unique donors totalling $689,058

and delivering $229,934 to worthwhile projects throughout the geography it serves. "Since inception 17 years ago we have granted a total of $1,696,000," said Fowler. "Through the generosity of the community, including all of you in this room, it is quite possible that we will pass the $2 million mark in grants in our next cycle." The total amount of earnings on investments in 2012 was $569,619.01. Evolution of endowments

Battle River Community Foundation board members have been participating for the last four months in an endowment sustainability program offered by the Edmonton Community Foundation. "One avenue with which they have been enjoying a fair amount of success has been the

conversion of obsolete life insurance policies to the benefit of the Foundation," said Fowler. "Rather than dropping a policy that is no longer required to provide for a family or obligation, individuals can change the beneficiary to the Foundation and reap tax benefits in a variety of ways." Camrose professional advisers are encouraged to recommend Battle River Community Foundation to clients who seek advice on personal philanthropy. Members of the Battle River Community Foundation board are: past chair, Ken Drever; chair, Blain Fowler; vice chair, David Ofrim; secretary, By Reesor; treasurer, James Mayer; directors Corey Kudrowich, Clarence Mastel, Karen Naslund, Wayne Throndson, and Imogene Walsh; and executive assistant Tom Kuntz.

By Murray Green

Big River is composed of four musicians from the west coast who re-live the recordings of Johnny Cash in the style and with the sound of the man in black himself. The Big River band will be at the Bailey Theatre on May 18 for an 8 p.m. show. David James offers a close version of Johnny Cash and his band is dedicated to replicating the most authentic tribute of the hillbilly rock and country musician. When audiences hear the band perform they not only want the words and music, but the full experience of the '50s and '60s music. “It’s not only about the voice” says Dave. “It’s about living and breathing the man. His posture, his mannerisms, his moves, and his quirks. I want our audiences to go home feeling like they just observed the man himself.” Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office or online.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Special Olympics Camrose athletes Randy McIntyre and Lonnie Kozdrowski received a big $2,500 cheque from TD Bank manager Kathy Hall to help the athletes participate in sporting events through various programs.

Wow, Coal Lake Lighthorse has had a really busy April! To start it all off, on April 8 we had our club's general meeting. We mostly discussed our upcoming Achievement Day. We also discussed our club's participation in highway cleanup, which was coming up on the 4th of May. Also on April 19 we had a 4-H ride in which we worked on lots of patterns and trotting. Our club was privileged to have some trainers come from Wild Deuce Ranch near Camrose and teach members how to train their horses to bow down and kneel. On April 27 we had our Achievement Day. It was so much fun! After all the riding was done we cleaned up and went inside for a potluck. After visiting and announcements our leaders awarded each girl a leather halter with her horse's name engraved on the side. All in all it was a really good month and I wish everyone a great spring.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER May 14, 2013

Augustana adding new sports The Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta will be adding men's and women's soccer and golf programs starting this fall. The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) ratified Augustana’s application to join the league in soccer and golf during its annual general meeting at Lakeland College May 7. Golf competition will begin in the ACAC in September, 2013 while soccer will follow in September, 2014, after one year of exhibition play and team development. “The additions of golf and soccer clearly strengthen Augustana," said Augustana dean Allen Berger. "They add new opportunities for students and contribute to our philosophy of educating the whole person." Dean Berger expressed his appreciation to Greg Ryan, director of athletics, for putting together a creative proposal that allows Augustana to add new sports without creating additional budgetary burdens. These new sports teams come as good news to the staff in Augustana’s Prospective Student Office. For several years the office has been fielding inquiries from students with interest in both golf and soccer. “It's never fun to tell student athletes that we don't have a team in their particular area, especially when the unique academic environment provided by Augustana is a perfect fit for them as students,” says Tim Hanson, assistant dean, external relations. Ryan is excited for the Vikings expansion. “Camrose is a tremendously supportive community, with a rich history in sport," said Ryan. "The success of our bid to add these programs is a testament to the existing strength of Camrose’s golf and soccer communities. The Vikings look forward to offering these programs and continuing to lead sport development opportunities for young Camrose area athletes.”

Axemen goal to win one more than last year

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Axemen player Paul Ofrim, right, runs to first base after a hit during an exhibition game against the Camrose Roadrunners. By Murray Green

The Camrose Axemen men's baseball team has only one goal in mind as it heads into the regular season. It wants to win the last game of the playoffs. The Westlock Red Lions needed three games to beat the Camrose Axemen in the senior men's North Central Alberta Baseball League playoffs last August. Camrose finished first in the league after making the playoffs for the first time since joining the NCABL in 2008. The Axemen finished a half game ahead of the Edmonton Blackhawks in the regular season with a 14-4 record. The Axemen pushed the best of three finals to the limit with a 5-4 victory in the first game and suffered a close 3-0 loss in the second game to set up the final where the Red Lions won the deciding game. Jordan Riopel and Bryan Toles will be managing the team this season. "We have much of the same core back with a couple of nice additions," said Jordan. "We are a veteran team, definitely the oldest team in the

league. We are based on experience." The four-game exhibition series gave the players a chance to get in some at bats and some innings pitched. "We have added Steve Enright and he is good defensively as well as a good hitter. My brother Luc will be eased into pitching and the Ofrim brothers, Steve and Paul, will be pitching more this year," explained Jordan. "We have 20 guys on the roster, but with families that is not a lot of players. We added Ryan Borman this year as one of the young guys." However, each new season brings another challenge. "We would like to see more local young players on the team. That was our goal a few years back and we are still working towards that goal," added Jordan. "Westlock is still the team to beat. There will be several good teams. St. Albert has joined the league as juniors, but they produce good ball players and are always tough." Camrose dropped a 10-9 decision to the Edmonton Athletics in the opening league con-

test, a game they had in hand 8-0 after four innings. Pitcher Paul Ofrim tossed four scoreless innings and cruised to a three hitter. A pick off and a double play quickly got him out of trouble. His catcher John Kelndorfer led the offence with three hits, three runs and three runs batted in. Cal Zimmer and J.J. Starker chipped in with two hits each. The relief pitching supplied by Blair Mulder, Paul Schole and Zimmer struggled and erased the good things that happened earlier in the game. In exhibition play on May 4 and 5, the Axemen beat the Camrose Roadrunners 17-1 with pitchers Schole and Corey Epp recording the win. First baseman Brett Harke led the charge with five RBIs as the team collected 13 hits. The Axemen beat the Armena Royals 7-3 with Ofrim pitching well before newcomer Steve Enright picked up the win and Dennis Landriault recorded a save. Camrose edged the Leduc Milleteers 6-5 with Schole earn-

ing the win and Kris Kushnerick collecting the save. The Axemen finished the weekend with a tough 6-5 loss to the Edmonton Warriors. Pitcher Luc Riopel allowed five runs in the first inning and the hole was too big for the Axemen to get out of. The Edmonton Blackhawks are in Camrose for a game tonight (May 14) at Harry Andreassen Field. Home tournament The 2013 Axemen Invitational tournament will be held on May 24 to 26. Camrose takes on the Lethbridge Outlaws on Saturday at 2 p.m. Other teams in the tourney are the Edmonton Athletics, Provost Combine Pilots, St. Albert Cardinals junior team, Calgary Cardinals, Border City Blue Jays and the Leduc Milleteers. "We wanted to have a tournament early in the season so all players could get in more bats and inning pitched. It is also easier to attract teams early in the year," said Jordan. "We are always rejecting teams, so that is nice. Lethbridge is a new team, so it will be interesting to see what they have."

Local team enters ride to conquer cancer By Murray Green

A team of local cyclists is gearing up for the annual Ride to Conquer Cancer, which benefits the Alberta Cancer Foundation, June 22 and 23. "We have a small team of five riders this year. Our strength in not in our numbers, but in our character," said Joanne Miske. "But, we don't want that to stop us from riding and raising funds." The Shift Disturbers team consists of Tammy Galenza, Brian Austrom, Calvin Austrom, Matthew Miskie and Joanne. The riders will travel over 220 kilometers from Calgary to Bragg Creek and back to Okotoks. The

exact route hasn't been finalized yet. "It's new territory for all of us, so it should be exciting. However, we bike the distance, regardless of the weather," said Joanne. To raise money for cancer research, the team will be holding a spaghetti dinner at Boston Pizza beginning at 7 p.m. on May 18. The dinner will be served at 7:30 p.m. "The tickets are $25 a person and can be purchased at Boston Pizza or from one of the riders. We are going to have a silent auction to go along with the dinner on that night. We also have comedian Ken Valgardson providing the after dinner

entertainment," said Joanne. "It should be a fun night." With one in two Albertans developing some form of cancer in his or her lifetime, the local riders decided to bike because they have all been affected in some way by cancer and they see the importance of this cause. The bad weather in the spring has caused problems for bike training. "Luckily, we all train in other programs and have been able to get in shape for the ride," said Joanne. "It's been frustrating that we haven't been able to train as a team. Riding a bike dealing with traffic and weather

is different than riding a stationary bike." Throughout their journey, riders will be supported by hundreds of volunteers and crew members, providing them with food and hydration, portable restrooms, safety on the road, comprehensive medical services and an overnight campsite complete with tents and hot showers. The team doesn't have a set goal, but would like to raise as much as they can. "Each team member has to raise $2,500. Last year, we all exceeded our goals," said Joanne. "Two of us are short of that goal this year, but we hope

the dinner will help us reach it again." The Alberta Cancer Foundation was established to advance cancer research province-wide and to directly support Alberta’s 17 cancer centres, including Camrose, the Cross Cancer Institute and Tom Baker Cancer Centre. "The funds that are generated are going to a good cause. All of the money stays in Alberta," added Joanne. People can donate to the local team by going to the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer web page. Type in the last name of the rider and make the donation online.

Camrose Canadian Tire owner Dave Jewell, left, and manager Todd Cochrane support local children to help them participate in sports and recreational activities. By Murray Green going to help kids play," said Dave

In Canada, about one in three families can't afford to enrol their children in organized sports, or recreation activities because of financial barriers. The May campaign will be celebrated on Jumpstart Day on Saturday, May 25, with a Canadian Tire charity barbecue at the Camrose location. Help youth from the Camrose and area community by visiting Canadian Tire and Mark’s Work Wearhouse. "We are holding a charity barbecue in Camrose on May 25 and we are selling red balls until the end of May for $2 at the till, with all donations

Jewell, Camrose store owner. "All of the money raised by the local store stays in the Camrose area. Last year, we helped 71 Camrose and area children participate in local sports and activities." You can make a difference in the lives of local children. “The benefits of children participating in sports affects their entire lives,” said Dave. “Jumpstart is dedicated to removing barriers so financially disadvantaged children can simply participate, and ultimately pursue their dreams.” The Jumpstart program is run across Canada. Six years

ago, Marlee Stein wanted to learn to skate but she didn’t think it would be possible coming from a family of four kids and facing the struggles of a parent battling illness. Through a family support service in her community, Marlee and her family were introduced to Canadian Tire Jumpstart. The Jumpstart program supported Marlee’s skating lessons and skate Canada membership through financial assistance. A year after lacing up her skates for the first time, Marlee decided to turn her desire to skate into a goal ... to one-day join

the Canadian Olympic Figure Skating team. Through Jumpstart, Marlee is able to continue her skating lessons and is working to achieve this dream. “Jumpstart helped me get the lessons I needed to enter some very challenging provincial and national figure skating competitions in Canada,” said Marlee Stein. “With all the lessons I have taken, I hope it opens up opportunities to eventually become a part of the Canadian Olympic team.” Children who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation, outside school hours, gain many short and long term

benefits including increased self esteem, greater self confidence, leadership skills, and better grades. Despite the financial hardships many Canadian families face, there is a way to get children into the game, no matter what barrier. By covering the cost of registration, equipment and/ or transportation, Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped 570,000 (and counting) children like Marlee participate in the sport of their choice.

Heard at CCHS grad

Life's Waiting to Begin theme of Class of 2013 spring exercises

"As we think of our graduates now we ask not that life be easy but that you walk with them in it all, that you give them mentors along the way, that you give them friends. Grant these young men and women direction, confidence, peace and joy for the journey." – Pastor Harold Rust in his graduation invocation. "This class has a huge amount of talent and potential and brings hope to all of us. (Napoleon Bonaparte) said a leader is a dealer in hope. And that is what I think you people are. You have to be dealers in hope to go forward. He also said imagination rules the world. You all have imagination, just have the courage to use it." – Doug Bowie, chair of the Battle River School Division board of trustees. "The friendships you make throughout school and in your life change into life lasting friendships, coworkers, roommates, even bridesmaids and groomsmen." – Tribute to friends by Taryn Prestage and Kami Gainsforth. "Each and every teacher has illustrated to us what passion is. And that, regardless of circumstances, you can make a difference. Your passion about what you teach and the dedication to your students was insurmountable and we can't thank you enough. Thank you for teaching us to be active citizens in the community and stand up for what we believe in. And most of all, thank you for believing in us." – Tribute to staff by Brittany Voss and Allyson Wrubleski. "I honestly believe that this class understands life. I have absolutely no doubt that every one of you is going to be very successful. That is not a worry for me. You have been happy, you have been living, and my wish, and I believe the wish from all of us in here, to all of you, all 152 of you, every one of you, we really wish that you continue to be happy." – Norm Erickson, responding to the tribute to staff. "Each of you graduates are here today because of your hard work, because of your determination. Keep that spirit and you will continue to find success in anything that you choose. I was once told never to shrink back from your dreams. Rather, supersize your courage and your abilities, even if that means you have to adjust to changing times." – Troy Atema, responding to the tribute to the parents.

Megan Alderdice accepts her graduation certificate from CCHS principal Patrick McFeely.

Kristie Soanes and Dilshant Garcha were the coordinators of ceremonies.

Brittany Voss and Allyson Wrubleski gave the tribute to the staff.

Andreassen offers grads words to live by Excerpts from David Andreassen's speech to CCHS grads May 10. "Popeye’s familiar refrain “I am what I am, and that’s all that I am” offers words to live by. While his words may sound limiting and self-deprecating: they are anything but. The words have a noble history and the capacity to help each individual shape her or his life. We might consider Popeye’s words as affirmation of the power that is clearly grounded in a deep and pervasive recognition of himself. For you, such recognition begins with discovering what you like, what engages your curiosity, what brings you a sense of fulfillment. Then comes the hard part: work. In his best selling book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell offers examples including The Beatles, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates supporting his idea that ten thousand hours of concentrated work can make a person an expert. Ten thousand hours is just over 416 days, more than a full year of work without stopping for any reason, or 250 eight-hour days – nearly five years with only weekends off. It

is not enough to recognize what we like, and what we are good at, we must work hard to get what and where we want. Not much is known of Shakespeare’s personal life, but we can be certain he didn’t sit down and decide “I am going to create some timeless literature.” He did not spew out great ideas and timeless words. Instead, he put in a lot of time and work on what interested him, and keeping his mind open enough that big ideas could form. "So much for the first part of Popeye’s saying, “I am what I am”. Let’s move on to the second part “that’s all that I am”. "It is all too common to believe that the only limitation on what we can become is what we can dream. Nonsense. Don’t think your only limitations are your dreams. Accept that your natural ability may not be the same as another person’s. Knowing what you can’t do is as important as knowing what you can. Some of our shortcomings simply cannot be overcome. "Other shortcomings or problems cannot be addressed alone. We all need people, and will all

gain from the support of family and friends. As Helen Keller said, “Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.” An individual has little power or influence, and is typically ignored by those who make real decisions. As part of a larger group, you can bring about real change." "Popeye’s words direct us to accept ourselves and our limitations, and to work at achieving our goals. "One final point that an old teacher of literature cannot resist is the insistence that your goals be worthy. My favorite Shakespeare play, both to read and to teach, was Macbeth. So many lessons, but the overarching lesson of the play is the importance of making right – that is, morally right, choices. As the play opens, Macbeth is a young man who is already a success, and is greedy for even more success. His problem was that he had no strong principles to constrain his burning ambition. The result, predictably enough, is Macbeth’s descent into evil. His problem was not ambition in itself, but an

unquestioning willingness to pay any price to achieve his ambition. The story Shakespeare weaves is cautionary and has many parallels in the world we know more than four centuries after his death. Ambition is good, working hard to achieve ambition is good, recognizing and addressing our limitations are good, enlisting the help of others is good. However, if we lack either moral scruple or a regard for the welfare of others, we are doomed to defeat ourselves. "To accept Popeye’s “I am what I am and that’s all that I am” as a personal signpost is not license to passively accept good enough. Rather, the words invite us to look hard at ourselves, to have the wisdom to know which personal constraints we can overcome and work to do so, and to join with others in pursuing worthy ambitions. As you leave this place and get on with the important matter of your adult life waiting to begin, consider what fascinates and engages you. Always put time and work into what interests you. A good life will follow."

Afternoon Film Club launched By Murray Green

Pat Mader Mundel formed the Afternoon Film Club to provide people with a matinee classic to watch, as well as a social and intellectual outing. "I'm a big fan of the Nordlys Film Festival and the Bailey Theatre is such a great venue for events like that. It got my brain percolating on what can we do to create some other interesting filmbased initiatives," said Pat. Not long after the Nordlys weekend was over she ran into long-time Camrose seniors, Grant and Fran Reed, at Fiona's on Main Street. "We agreed that our increasingly vibrant downtown brings people together for just such conversations. Fran thought it would be a great idea to have an afternoon film series for people who want to watch during the day, rather than at night," explained Pat. "I decided to try it in May and June before going into a season starting in September. Bailey Theatre program director Simon Williams handles the film bookings and I have been doing the leg work to get this concept off the ground." The club will show a film once a month at the Bailey Theatre (every third Thursday at 1:30 p.m.). "I plan to feature classics and musicals, though not exclusively. During each session, a brief introduction to the film will be provided and some interesting historical, or other details. It will be brief, but for example when actor Gene Kelly did his famous dance number in Singing in the Rain, he was struggling with a 103 degree fever," said Pat. "For anyone who wishes to stay for a short discussion following the film, there will be opportunity for that as well. We will likely move to the bistro for our discussions." Pat feels the matinee sessions will take people back in time. "We will be showing old classics in a historic theatre and sharing our thoughts with others. I will have a suggestion box, so people can recommend some movies to watch." The Bailey Theatre liked the idea of an afternoon event, so not a lot of extra staff is required. "They want the venue used on another date and by going on Thursday we are staying away from the busy weekends and away from the Monday night films," added Pat. "It is a lower cost because the building is open anyway during the day." The first film will be shown on May 16 with Waking Ned Devine. It is about a lottery winner who dies of shock and his fellow townsfolk attempt to claim the money. The second will be Singing in the Rain on June 20. The Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds classic is one of the most loved musicals of all time. "I hope to continue with the concept in the fall," added Pat. For more information, contact Pat Mader Mundel at 780-6721581, pat.madermundel@gmail. com, or the Bailey Theatre at 780672-5510. Admission is $7 at the door. She is hoping to offer a fourmovie pass for $20 in the fall.

BRSD Board of Trustees response to AP 360 petition In response to a petition received by Battle River School Division on Thursday, April 11, 2013, the Board of Trustees makes the following statement: • The Board of Trustees supports AP 360 – Student Assessment and its direction, with its emphasis on rich, descriptive feedback, teaching to outcomes and promotion of lifelong learning. • The Board of Trustees has heard the voice of concerned parents and community, and believes their concerns need to be addressed, even though the petition as presented has been declared technically invalid. • The Board of Trustees has confidence in the Superintendent of Schools, as the instructional leader of Battle River School Division. • The Board of Trustees believes the Division has been responsive to the needs of individual schools and supports the previous adjustments that have been made to AP 360 by Administration, including the 2011 announcement of a delay in junior high implementation and the Spring 2012 and February 2013 announcements regarding delays in implementation at the senior high level.

• The Board of Trustees also has confidence in the most recent changes to AP 360 that were brought forward by the Superintendent of Schools on March 27, 2013, including: ensuring that, in addition to levels and clear written Doug Bowie feedback, accurate overall Chairman of the percentages are available on Board of Trustees high school report cards and by request at any other time to both junior and senior high school students and their parents; permitting teachers to give a mark of zero, with guidelines to be developed by each school; giving every school community the time and support it needs in the assessment journey. • The Board of Trustees and the Superintendent acknowledge the need for responsiveness and also the evolving nature of Assessment across the province of Alberta and will work together to address changes or concerns as they arise.

Superintendent outlines positive path forward with AP 360 In response to a statement of support from the Board of Trustees regarding Administrative Procedure 360 – Student Assessment, Battle River School Division’s Superintendent has a positive plan to move forward. “As Superintendent of Schools,” says Dr. Larry Payne, “I’m pleased that after a year-long dialogue with our communities our school division has come to a decision that allows us to move forward with assessment practices which prepare students for success in school and beyond.” “I want to be clear,” he says, “the Board of Trustees and I have heard the concerns from a portion of our parent and community populations. They have identified a need to receive accurate percentage marks for older students and also the desire that teachers be able to give a mark of zero in some circumstances.” “I’ve responded to those wishes in a manner that provides alignment with Inspiring Education, ensures consistent practices across BRSD and makes accommodations for varying degrees of parental support.” Alignment with Inspiring Education and BRSD division wide consistent practices will ensure: • All students (1 - 12) will benefit from outcome based assessment, levels of achievement and detailed feedback; • All high school students (10 - 12) in BRSD receive an accurate overall percentage mark on report cards; • Junior and senior high (7 – 12) students will be able to obtain an overall percentage mark from their teacher at any time, upon request; • Every school (7 - 12) will develop and communicate with parents clear guidelines for when their child might be assigned a mark of zero. According to Dr. Payne, BRSD’s AP 360 will be revised to reflect these changes, with an updated version available on the school division’s website by June 1. An information meeting for Grade 6 parents making the transition to Grade 7 will be scheduled prior to the end of May. Watch your school newsletter for details of date, time and location. BRSD will also ensure ongoing response to community concerns by: • Collaborating with school administrators and schools’ Assessment Leads to build communication and education plans that support the unique needs of each school community. These plans will be in place by June 10, 2013. When school leaders have confidence that their senior high school is ready for outcome-based

assessment practices, they will be supported to move toward full implementation of AP 360. All steps toward implementation will be communicated to parents in advance by school leaders, along with a clear rationale and timeline.

Dr. Larry Payne Superintendent of Schools

Even after full implementation, senior high school students will always receive an overall percentage mark on report cards. As schools work through this process, they will receive the support, resources and time required. Along the way, teachers will continue to provide students and parents with clear learning targets and rich, descriptive feedback. Students in all grades will receive levels of achievement and Grade 7 to 12 students will also have access to overall percentage marks. On a day to day basis, it is teachers’ professional responsibility to use a variety of strategies to ensure they provide a high quality, accurate assessment of what students know and are able to do. Dr. Payne is confident in teachers’ ability to provide accurate percentages and levels of achievement. Dr. Payne would also like parents to know that BRSD continues to have high standards and expectations for student achievement. Teachers in Battle River remain committed to the success of all students. In recent months, and most notably during Education Week 2013, Alberta Education has made several announcements which demonstrate how education in this Province is being transformed. Battle River’s work is closely tied to the Alberta Education philosophy. Outcome-based practice is a stepping stone to the future of education. Check the Alberta Education website for their newest Education Business Plan, a Ministerial Order regarding the future of education in Alberta, information on high school flexibility, a dual credit strategy, changes in Provincial Achievement Tests and curriculum re-design.

The "hockey stick" sidelines, sharp-creased power dome hood and prominent rear haunch make Mustang appear ready to leap into action. New exterior colours for 2014 include Ruby Red and Oxford White. A sense of freedom comes alive with the option to put the top down and let the elements inside. Ford engineers heighten the experience, thanks to a design that helps give the Mustang convertible a solid feel. New technology Under the hood, under the skin or in the cabin, Mustang features an impressive list of high-tech features. The available Trac Apps give you performance metrics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; everything from acceleration times to g-force measurements. Available SYNC lets you activate your phone, music and more, and the available navigation system with integrated Sirius XM Traffic and Sirius XN Travel Link provides directions, traffic alerts and gas prices.

Hockey Alberta, acting on a decision made by its board of directors, is eliminating body checking from the Peewee division beginning in the 2013-14 season. "Camrose Minor Hockey Association (CMHA) anticipates direction from Hockey Alberta on how to implement this so that players, coaches, and officials understand this new adjustment and what it wants Peewee hockey to look like," said minor hockey president Chad Kendall. "I think that angling, rub-outs and pinning will be permissible, but gone will be the open-ice, “take-your-head-off” style of hit. "Hockey is a sport of incidental contact at all levels. CMHA supports the continuation of teaching and developing checking skills from initiation right through to midget," explained Chad. "This instruction and practice includes developing contact confidence with the ice, boards, and other players. It involves teaching angling, proper body and stick position and how to properly perform and receive a body check." The skills are currently being taught. "CMHA recognizes the importance of possessing core strength, balance, and skating ability when it comes to the effective execution and reception of a body check. CMHA also acknowledges that a significant component of angling and checking skills involves the spatial awareness of the player on the ice including his line of sight, the direction of his motion, and the location of the puck,

boards, opponents and teammates," added Chad. “Our players’ safety is the foundation in making this decision,” said Hockey Alberta’s chair, Rob Virgil. “There is overwhelming evidence that body checking is the single most consistent risk factor for injuries and concussions in youth ice hockey.” In 2012, the directors established a Body Checking Review committee and tasked them with reviewing relevant scientific research, member feedback from past AGMs and a recent survey, and the positions of other Hockey Canada branches as they developed recommendations on options for body checking in minor hockey. Over the course of the past year, the committee debated and decided upon the following recommendations, which were recently presented to and approved by the board. They will create an overall player safety strategy that includes a focus on the reduction of serious injuries in the game at all levels, continue to work within the guiding principles of the Long Term Player Development (LTPD) and allow these principles to frame the decision-making process around player development programs at all levels and remove body checking from all categories of the Peewee age group (11 and 12 years old). The board felt strongly based on the research and information presented that the organization make this policy level change without delay. Continued on page 39

Choir Festival Submitted

Five choirs from East Central Alberta (Stettler Senior Singers, Wetaskiwin Fun Singers, Southwest Edmonton Senior Choir, St. Albert Groovy Gang, Tofield Men's Chorus) joined the Camrose Golden Tones for their annual spring senior choir festival on Friday afternoon, April 26, at Mirror Lake Centre. Buffy daSilva acted as emcee and Earl Berry extended greetings from Camrose City council and invited the audience to return to spend some time exploring Camrose. Over 200 Camrose and area residents enjoyed choral selections, which included wellknown gospel classics such as Beethoven's The Heavens Resound, as well as popular secular pieces like My Happiness, Melody of Love, Lovely Bunch of Coconuts, It's a Small World After All, They Call it Canada, and a melody from The Sound of Music. The audience's appreciation was evident in the enthusiastic standing ovation that they gave the choirs at the end of the program. And once again, the Seniors' Choir Festival signals that it is time for spring ... all we need now is the sun to warm up the world and make spring happen.

“Hockey Alberta should be commended for taking a leadership role in creating a safer playing environment for our youth,” said Dr. Brian Benson, director of the Sport Concussion Clinic at the University of Calgary Sport Medicine Centre. “Recent evidence suggests removing body checking at the Peewee level will reduce players' risk of concussions and injuries overall by more than three-fold." Starting next season, the rules of play for the atom age division will also apply to the Peewee age division. There will be no body checking in all categories of Peewee hockey, and there will be a penalty assessed for players who do body check. Coaches will still be required to take the Checking Skills Program in Peewee and encouraged to teach safe checking skills in a practice environment. “I am extremely pleased with the decision made by Hockey Alberta. There is nothing more important than the well-being of our children," said Alberta Liberal health critic Dr. David Swann. “By banning body checking for players under 13 we can prevent at least 1,500 injuries, including 400 concussions, which can be devastating for our young people." Early adolescence is a critical period for brain development. “This decision also has the potential to save Alberta more than $210,000 a year in direct public health care costs," added Dr. Swann. “The right choice is always one that keeps our kids on the ice and out of emergency departments."

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.

ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION QUESTIONS

Why have my property taxes gone up more than other people I know?

The City of Camrose cannot just apply a flat increase to everyone’s property taxes. Every property owner’s share of the property tax levy is determined by the assessed value of their property. The assessed value of your property is based on its market value (most likely sale price) on July 1, 2012. Certain property types or areas of the City may be increasing in market value at a greater rate than others. Assessment and Tax notices will be mailed to Camrose property owners later this month. For more information contact City Hall assessment and taxation staff at 780-672-4426.

Roadrunners rebuilding men's baseball club By Murray Green The Powerline Baseball League will open the season with seven teams this year. The Camrose Roadrunners will play its first home game on May 16 against the league champion Leduc Milleteers beginning at 7 p.m. on the Harry Andreassen Diamond at Kin Park. Leduc has won the league title four straight years, so every team will be gunning for them this summer. The Holden Blue Jays, Bardo Athletics, Ryley Rebels, Beaumont Angels and the Armena Royals are the other clubs in the league. Roadrunners playing coach Josh Banack wants his group to improve on last season. "We have a couple new faces this year, which should help. We were short pitching last year, so this year we have picked up a few more arms. Pitching was our downfall," said Josh. "We have added Alex Roth, who is returning from injury, a young guy from St. Albert, Nolan Miller from Heisler, Pam McTavish from Camrose and Sheldon Petryshyn from Round Hill. Marcel Lesoway and myself also pitch." Camrose has shown some good hitting spurts in the past. "We want to be competitive. We are trying to do our part in pulling in some Camrose guys to keep it local. There are some good players, but there are several other teams like the Axemen or Armena that are going for the same players." Four teams make the playoffs and the Roadrunners want to be back in the mix. "We are working to be there. If a team doesn't throw its best pitcher against us, we want to take advantage of that. We want to be on top right away and make the other teams worry about us a little and not just take us lightly," said Josh. "We can hit anybody. We had some weak games last year, but we can score 10 or 12 runs. You have to be able to hit in this league. The scores tighten up in the playoffs, but not the regular season." The team is working on opening the season with a strong offence. "Our pitching will come around, but we have to be hitting right away," added Josh. "Our defence has always been pretty solid. Leduc has a lot of depth and Beaumont will be a surprise because it is a new team. We have to make sure we beat them as we should." The Roadrunners lost 17-1 against the Axemen and a tough 3-2 decision to the Heisler Cardinals in exhibition play on May 4 in Camrose.

RotaRy Club of CamRose

While the Rotary Club of Camrose prepares to celebrate their 90th anniversary in 2014, club members are dedicated to projects both at home and abroad. This year could literally be described as a building year. When it was realized that the village of Otoxha, Belize had outgrown their school (thanks in part to the Rotary District 5370’s commitment to improving literacy in Belize), club members and the Camrose community stepped up to not only raise money for the school, but expertise and manpower from the Rotary Club of Camrose travelled to Otoxha to build the school - from the ground up in a few short weeks. The club has also helped bring Internet communications to the village, and is considering a project to help bring clean water to the Otoxha as well. On the home front, when the Camrose community identified that the 1940s era Boy Scout hall was in desperate need of replacement, the Rotary Club members stepped up to begin changing lives. Bringing together volunteer resources, local and provincial governments and the proceeds from our recent Black Tie Gala, the 7,500 sq ft facility is expected to be in use this summer. The Rotary Club of Camrose is also changing lives by engaging youth through international student exchanges to Switzerland and from Turkey, youth leadership programs, outdoor hike adventure for at-risk youth and international exchange students. Rotarians are continuing to maintain and expand the Rotary Four Season’s Environmental Park in the river valley. Members meet at 11:45 a.m. every Monday upstairs at the Edgeworth Centre. (left) Rotarian Ron Grue installs the wall plaque on St. Mark’s School in Otoxha, Belize. The new school was made possible through local donations, and volunteer labour from local Rotarians and villagers. (below) The recent Black Tie Gala raised over $90,000 to help build the new Rotary Youth Centre.

RotaRy Club of CamRose - daybReak

Entering its second decade, the Rotary Club of Camrose - Daybreak is pleased to embark on new initiatives which help to accentuate Rotary International’s ideal of Service above Self. In keeping with District 5370’s commitment to partner with communities in Belize to improve literacy, the club continues to raise funds to enhance the educational experience for students in St. Barnabas School in San Ignacio, Belize. The club is pleased to launch their new Canadian Flag initiative this year - for a small annual fee club members will install a Canadian Flag in your yard for up to one week on Canada Day, Victoria Day and Labour Day. Donations to the flag project will help the club continue to contribute to local community service projects. The club continues their annual TV Bingo fund-raiser, and will be hosting their second annual Rib Tickler fund-raiser on June 6. Club members were surprised and honoured to receive 2011 - 2012 Special Service Award from the Canadian Mental Health Association.
