The Bailey Theatre has earned a reputation as a venue which attracts a quality of entertainment rarely offered in a community of our size. The Bailey’s Buckaroos is a group of remarkable local entertainers who have come together to ensure this trend continues and flourishes in the months and years ahead. This self-proclaimed “group of rowdy gun slingin’ desperados” who, as “pickin’ and grinnin’ musicians” are widely known for their ability to crank out an impressive collection of country tunes. The group has been assembled to serve as an in-house band for country performers who will want to play the “artist’s dream stage” at The Bailey.

Special evening presentation on understanding FASD May 30 By Dan Jensen

What can you do to help someone who has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder? Triage Institute Organic Brain Dysfunction chief clinical examiner Liz Lawryk will be helping to answer that question in a Prairie Central FASD Association funded presentation entitled Understanding FASD at the Camrose Community Centre May 30. "We want to give parents and caregivers good tools for dealing with FASD," explained

Prairie Central FASD coordinator Stacy Wolbeck. Topics covered in the presentation will include FASD as a whole body disorder, and how to plan to prevent future behaviours from occurring. "The goal is to give the people who attend more insight into the sensory issues that occur in someone with FASD so that they can have the confidence to implement interventions," said Wolbeck. "As Donna Debolt, an expert in FASD says, it is not about them, it is

about us. They are just as good as we are." The presentation will be held in the evening (from 7 to 9 p.m.) to remove barriers for those who can't attend during the day due to work commitments. Estimates on the number of people who have FASD vary from organization to organization. Some have reported one in 100, while others have said it is more like one in 1,000. "The fact there haven't been diagnostic tools in the province

for very long makes it difficult to estimate the exact number who have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder," said Wolbeck. Lawryk's research of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder and related conditions began in 1989. She has written several books on the topic of FASD and has spoken to hundreds of families and professionals at various conferences and training sessions. She is the executive director of the Canadian FASD Foundation. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum

Disorder (FASD) is the umbrella term used to describe the range of harm that may result from prenatal exposure to alcohol. These concerns can include health, physical, developmental, intellectual and social challenges. The term FASD includes the diagnostic categories of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), partial FAS (pFAS), AlcoholRelated Neuro-Developmental Disorder (ARND) and AlcoholRelated Birth Defects (ARBD) (Chudley et al, 2005).

Associate Minister to hear concerns

Centra Cam and CAFCL bracing for funding reductions in next contract

By Dan Jensen

Associate minister of Services for Persons with Developmental Disabilities Frank Oberle will be addressing concerns about transformational changes within Persons with Developmental Disabilities in a public forum from 2 to 4 p.m. this Thursday afternoon, May 23, at the Norsemen Inn, Camrose. Associate minister Oberle has been mandated by the Premier to provide services and supports to all persons with disabilities through a system that provides supports based on need, that provides a continuum of supports as people age and change, and that provides supports in a compassionate manner. He has also been mandated to ensure that the support system is open, transparent, measurable and accountable. Centra Cam Vocational Training Association executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg said the forum will provide the opportunity to ask the associate minister some tough and straightforward questions on reductions to the Persons with Developmental Disabilities budget and the impact those reductions will have on Centra Cam and other organizations that provide services. The associate minister has made time in his schedule to visit Centra Cam after the forum ends. "We are thrilled to have an opportunity to share with him all the different ways we are involved in the community and the level to which the people we support enhance the community," said Centra Cam program manager Sharon Szott. "We feel lucky because not all agencies are getting that opportunity." Centra Cam supports adults with developmental challenges with gaining and maintaining employment, and provides pre-training and experience for future employment opportunities. The Emergency Clothing and Furniture Depot serves the community by collecting donations and then distributing these donations to individuals who need them, while the Outlet Store generates funds for the programs and services that Centra Cam offers. Centra Cam has a contract with the City of Camrose, to provide recycling services. "The community welcomes us and recognizes the work that we do so we have community members who are very upset about the government's funding reductions," said Skjonsberg. "They don't want to lose the benefits and the experiences that they receive because of the work we do in the community."

Centra Cam Vocational Training Association (above) and Camrose Association for Community Living are facing uncertain futures. By Dan Jensen

Centra Cam Vocational Training Association and Camrose Association for Community Living (CAFCL) are bracing for reductions in funding starting July 1. "The Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) contract with the provincial government is ending June 30 and as of today we don't know what the cuts will be," said Centra Cam executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg last week. "We don't know the implications the cuts will have on the level of service Centra Cam could offer compared to what we are offering today." CAFCL executive director Esther McDonald said the funding reductions for her organization could affect as many as 70 to 75 people. "The Central Region of which we are a part has been told that in order to balance its budget for 2013-14 it will need to find $13.5 million. "The thing I fear the most is that people will be put in risky situations." Sixty million hit

A joint statement released by the Alberta Association for Community Living, Alberta Council of Disability Services and Alberta Disability Workers Association indicates that the government reduction in PDD funding for the six PDD regions could, at minimum, be $60 million. "The reduction in PDD funding is the largest cut in the government's current budget â&#x20AC;&#x201C; close to twice the size of the seven per cent cut required of post secondary institutions; the largest cut ever imposed on individuals with developmental disabilities in Alberta's history. For many, Alberta's cold winter will begin this year on July 1. The depth of the reduction in funding is one that we believe is not manageable and will result in the safety, well-being and security of individuals with developmental disabilities being compromised." CAFCL and Centra Cam have been paying close attention to what has been happening in the Northwest region of PDD,

which has already been given its numbers and will experience a reduction in finding of approximately $8.8 million. "If we go by what is happening to service providers there we (CAFCL) could be looking at a $1 million reduction in our budget," said McDonald. Skjonsberg said the initial estimate from the government was that the Central Region PDD, of which it is part would be seeing its funding for community access programs reduced from $14,585,000 to $8,686,000. "We thought at first that the cuts would only impact the community access program but it seems they are going to go much beyond that." Minister's statement

Associate minister of Services for Persons with Disabilities Frank Oberle said in the Alberta legislature May 14 that the government is not adjusting services to individuals just because of fiscal capacity identified in the budget. "Changes in service levels, increased or reduced, will happen as a result of the fact that we are able to assess need, and we are going to allocate services based on need. We are currently doing assessments of need for all the individuals we support based upon the Supports Intensity Scale or SIS. The SIS system identifies the needs of individuals on a scale of one to seven, with category one identifying those with low support needs and category seven indicating extraordinary behavioural supports are needed. We are currently finding that a number of individuals who are currently receiving significant supports do not appear to have the needs that such support levels would indicate. Many of them fall within category one. And among those that fall within category one, we are providing an alarming range of services, from one individual who receives $114 a year in supports to one who receives just under $300,000 a level in supports. This clearly underlines the fact that for some individuals the

supports are currently allocated based on reasons other than need." Associate minister Oberle also noted that the government intends to move from an emphasis on community access supports to an emphasis on supports that provide for inclusion and engagement in the community. "As a result service providers who offer supports are hearing that they could face contract impacts, sometimes significant ones, as we move to renew contracts. We are working collaboratively with the service providers, so some of them have seen potential dollar figure impacts that are indeed very significant. These service providers are concerned, and they have expressed their concerns to parents." Community access

Skjonsberg said her interpretation of the associate minister's message is that the government wants persons with developmental disabilities to use natural supports in the community. "Our community access program assists people in going to the community to access it, so we would take people to the food bank to help with the distribution of food or to Meals on Wheels to help with the delivery of meals. My understanding is that the government wants the people to go to the food bank for example, and do that volunteer work by themselves. The government is emphasizing that these individuals should be relying on natural supports in the community just like you or I and not rely on support staff to go with them." McDonald said in her view, the government wants people with developmental disabilities to work in the community rather than just participating in a recreation education program that involves trips to the swimming pool or the library. "That is a nice concept and I totally agree with the concept in the sense that all of us as citizens have the responsibility to do what we can to earn our way. I think it should be an expectation no matter who you are in society

that when you are finished school the next step is that you would be looking for a job and that you would be trained to do some sort of work, but the reality is, how many employers are prepapred to pay (for a worker with a developmental disability)? It is a pretty big thing to expect a 60-year-old person with a developmental disability to do a lot of work when he or she has never been expected to do that before." Centra Cam program manager Sharon Szott said the particular measurement tool the government has chosen has some merit, but that, according to reports from Washington State, where it was used, is not a user friendly tool for a vocational program, employment and community access to the level of support. "They have selected a tool that doesn't really even match with the community access program which they have targeted to cut." McDonald is doubtful as to whether the government is doing the assessments the right way. "I am not sure this (SIS) is the right tool. What they have done with it now is they have attached dollars to each level of the assessment, and the dollars are the part that probably concerns me the most. It is not a question of whether this is the right amount of money. It is 'this is the money in the pot so we will distribute it this way.' So now the cutbacks are going to be based on this new SIS, and the funding needs, and just because you maybe have been living in a residence with overnight staff doesn't mean that now the funding will be in agreement with that." Setback

The Alberta Association of Community Living, Alberta Council of Disability Services and Alberta Disability Workers Association are supportive of government's interests in having individuals with developmental disabilities leading more inclusive and productive lives, but feels this will not be possible under the current circumstances, and that the funding reductions will set progressive change back further than ever.

Need to recognize, understand and prevent FASD I was greatly pleased to hear that a presentation on the topic of Understanding FASD (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder) will be held at the Camrose Community Centre on Thursday, May 30, from 7 to 9 p.m. The objective is to provide information that will help parents and caregivers understand FASD and, from that, learn how to better help the afflicted. There is a very great need to better understand those who have FASD. It is caused by mothers who consume alcohol during pregnancy and is entirely preventable. Unfortunately, FASD is difficult to identify because the disability of those afflicted is not always plainly visible. Even those closest to them, like parents and teachers, are often slow to realize, if ever, that the youngster they don’t understand has a disability. This can cause years of frustration and worry and, too often, doing all the wrong things with bad effects. Children and adults afflicted with FASD have many common characteristics. They don’t pay attention; have memory problems; are easily distracted; they talk the talk but don’t walk the walk; don’t see the connection between act and consequence; have difficulty managing money, math and time; don’t work independently but need constant prodding and supervision therefore, as adults, are very often unreliable and unemployable; they act impulsively and often socially inappropriately. Too often parents, teachers and the public at large will interpret this behavior as willful disobedience, not caring, not trying, should know better. In fact, studies in the last two decades have found that it’s not that the child (or adult) won’t, it’s a matter of can’t because of brain damage. Christian Beaulieu, an associate professor of biomedical engineering in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, U of A, said (University of Alberta Folio, June 11, 2011) that children and youth with FASD have less deep-gray matter in their brains than those who don’t have the condition, this the findings of a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the U of A. “Our previous studies showed that the brain white-matter wiring was affected by FASD. And now we show that the deep-gray matter relay stations that integrate and convey information to the cortex are also different in FASD.” This results in difficulties sending messages back and forth related to memory, emotions, cognition and motor function. As of now, we don’t know if any consumption of alcoholic beverages at any time during pregnancy is safe, therefore complete abstinence is recommended; this includes the use of wines in cooking. Estimates of the number of persons among us who have FASD vary widely – from one in 1,000 to one in 100 – because research has not had time to be conclusive. FASD includes categories called FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), pFAS (partial fetal alcohol syndrome), ARND (alcohol related neuro-developmental disorders) and ARBD (alcohol related birth defects.) What we do know is that there is a great need for increased public awareness and understanding of the causes and effects of FASD; ways to help the afflicted; and the knowledge that FASD is entirely preventable if no alcohol is consumed at any time during pregnancy.

Keep Michener Centre Open in Red Deer

Mainstreaming has gone too far. Some people need to be monitored all day and all night by at least two nurses. This may well have prevented murders and other acts of violence. Institutions like Michener meet special needs. Staff is trained to deal with violence and with people who cannot care for themselves, temporarily or permanently. I have seen two people of this sort barrel their way across the highway, heads down while drivers screeched to a halt, for example. Institutions need not be unpleasant environments. Staff often go above and beyond the call of duty to make them homey and cater to individual abilities and needs. Sometimes the patients help each other. Pro-

grams address different levels of ability. Many homeless people are mentally ill or challenged and do not know how or where to get help, or lack the motivation to get out of their cardboard box shelters. I have both worked in and been a patient in institutions, and was so glad they were there when I needed them. Please keep Michener open and respond to the petition on KeepMichenerOpen.com.

Canadiana Redux It’s been just a few weeks since the death of Stompin’ Tom Connors. In a previous Second Thought column, I addressed the hyperbolic eulogizing that sprung up in the wake of his passing – that he was “a true Canadian original,” a quintessentially Canadian entertainer whose songs we could all relate to, songs that made us all want to sing and clap along, and so on. So far, it seems, a similar groupthink-fueled consecration has not taken place after the death of Rita McNeil. Nevertheless, the reflexive trumpeting of Canadiana carries on apace, thanks to the recent Juno awards in Regina. While I’m sure many would agree that award shows are at best suspect, and at worst ridiculous; the Junos, however, are in a class by themselves courtesy of several extra layers of irrelevance, not to mention hypocrisy: this is a show that on the one hand purports to celebrate true Canadian-ness, while on the other hand doles out awards to performers—like Justin Bieber, Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Carly Rae Jepsen – who are de facto international celebrities, whose musical superstardom is predicated on a universalist musical aesthetic shaped by the American culture industry. Aside from it making them eligible to win Junos, the fact that they were born somewhere in Canada could not be less relevant. This makes the Canadian Music Hall of Fame acceptance speech given by kd lang at this year’s Junos all the more problem-

Second Thought

atic. When she exclaimed “only in Canada” could we have musical superstars like herself (she lives in Hollywood, by the way), Stompin’ Tom and Rita McNeil – quirky freaks, in her words, who should be celebrated for being themselves – she clearly hadn’t really thought things all the way through. First, it’s a music award show, not Dr. Phil: why are there points for being OK with who you are? How about points for, um, talent? For making exceptionally good, creative, maybe even innovative music? Second, lang is an international music superstar; Rita and Stompin’ Tom, while certainly quirky and freaky in their own right, are not. Rita McNeil was a largely regional phenomenon; Stompin’ Tom was a novelty act. It was nice of kd to let Tom and Rita sit at the grown-

up table for a few moments, but come on. Notably absent at the Junos was any sense of irony. kd lang invoked Stompin’ Tom in her speech, lauding him as a fellow Canadian music “freak” – I assume she meant to say “paragon of Canadian music and individualism” – even though he thought the Junos were not just a joke, but fundamentally bad news for Canadian music and musicians. Stompin’ Tom gave his Juno awards back, for heaven’s sake, and he even refused to allow the Junos to honour him after he died, because he saw that the awards are invariably given to musicians who become successful outside of and who promptly leave Canada – bonjour, kd lang! – and then come home to accept awards for being “Canadian” musicians. It was also without any sense of irony that kd lang – an international music superstar and Grammy winner, remember – said “only in Canada” would we find a Stompin’ Tom or a Rita McNeil. I think that this was meant to be complimentary, but what it really reveals is that the top tiers of our national music scene are populated by some unlikely, ungainly and, let it be said, often mediocre figures, whose relative success is at least partly predicated on government initiatives – namely the Canadian content quotas derived from the Broadcasting Act of Canada – to promote and prop-up Canadian culture. I have long felt that “Only in Canada” should be the slogan of the Canadian music industry. It explains a lot.

Camrose Economic Development, along with the Government of Alberta and the Rural Alberta Business Centre, have partnered to work on a Business Retention and Expansion Plan. (BRE). Ray Telford, Economic Development Officer said, “The Business Retention and Expansion was the top priority based on the input from the public in our community economic development plan. The purpose of the BRE will be to receive information so we can assist businesses with succession planning, expansion, employment, as well as identify any community problems and finally, to provide assistance.” The first step of the BRE program is to interview and conduct surveys with local businesses through the months of May to August. Kara Davis is an intern with the City of Camrose who will be the coordinator for the BRE Program. Kara said, “Our goal is to personally interview 100 random local businesses in Camrose. We have created the list based on categories, sizes and areas.” She also stated, “After the initial surveys and interviews, Economic Development will continue interviewing and surveying many other businesses on a regular basis which will be included as part of the data base collection.” The follow-up steps of the BRE Program will be to analyze the data to review key findings and identify possible actions. After that, there will be the implementation of action plans to develop and incorporate specific actions with timelines to address issues and opportunities as related to the Community Economic Development Plan.

Centra Cam, CAFCL wait for news on funding Continued from page 6

"Contrary to the understanding of many that this crisis is precipitated by a cut to community access funding, this is incorrect," said the statement, "as most of the community access funding has been distributed to other line items. The single overriding issue is the total and overwhelming reduction in PDD funding to be implemented in the last three quarters of the fiscal year. PDD funding reductions are based on an arbitrary formula that will impact thousands across much of their lives." Impacts not as severe

Associate minister Oberle said there will be impacts when the government implements the changes to community-wide supports, but they will not be as severe as has been suggested. "We are now working at the individual provider level and we are working on a way to ensure the impacts to providers are more manageable during this transition. To accomplish this we will access supports from the budget in human services and we may require additional support which I will seek if necessary. But moving forward we will continue our transition from community access supports towards supports that provide more engagement and inclusion in the community." McDonald said what is most disappointing about the whole process is the breakneck speed at which the government is bringing in the reductions. "July 1 (the date of the next contract) is just over a month away. The time we have to be able to do an analysis on who we can safely and adequately serve is getting tighter and tighter. We have legal responsibilities as a service provider: legal responsibilities to our clients and their guardians, and legal responsibilities to our staff if they have to be given notice. We're going to have to do a lot of due diligence to see if we can safely and responsibly take responsibility for people and their needs in the community. There are a lot of liabilities and I need to be able to sleep at night and know that somebody is safe." Staff and client concerns

Szott said the talk about the funding reductions is starting to affect Centra Cam staff and clients on a personal level. "Our clients are smart people and they are starting to question if they get to come here or if they don't. A lot of them are quite comfortable with their long term volunteer placements. They love their placements and they are satisfied with the choices they have made within their world, so when they hear things like this they get scared and fear that they are going to be forced to do something that doesn't work within their comfort zone." Szott added it is difficult to lead a team of employees when the news coming from the government on funding reductions continues to be vague and there is nothing to share with them on their futures with the organization. "They have families and they need to know if they have a job or don't have a job," said Szott. "We have long term staff here who have been really committed and have done a good job and we feel very uncomfortable not being able to say yes you are going to be here or no you are not going to be here." Skjonsberg said the families of Centra Cam clients are upset because there are only a few more weeks before the reductions in the new contract are to take effect. "They want to know how the cuts will affect them and we can't tell them at this time."

Fly-In Breakfast at airport this Sunday By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Airport will be one of the busiest airports in western Canada this Sunday, May 26, when the Camrose Flying Club conducts its 56th annual Fly-in Breakfast. "We're expecting more than 100 aircaft of various types, explained Camrose Flying Club president Barry Graham. Past Fly-Ins have attracted airplanes from as far away as Medicine Hat, Fort McMurray and parts of Saskatchewan," The Fly-in Breakfast has

always provided an opportunity for Camrose and area residents to get up close to a number of interesting aircraft and talk with their pilots. One of highlights of the 2012 Fly-in was an appearance by a privately-owned L-39 Jet from Josephburg, used to check approaches for airports across Canada. The breakfast part of the Camrose Fly-in Breakfast will be held from 7 a.m. to noon and feature a menu that includes orange juice, steaming hot coffee, bratwurst and ham, farm fresh

eggs, and fluffy pancakes, all for just $8. "We have purchased new grills this year so the line-up should move a little faster," said Graham. Proceeds from the breakfast will be used to support the Camrose Fish and Game Association and the Camrose Air Cadet flying program, as well as Camrose airport improvements. Camrose Fish and Game Association looks after the cooking so the aviation experts can handle the increased amount of air traffic.

Camrose and Bashaw youth between the ages of eight to 17 will have the opportunity next month to experience the thrill of flight. The Canadian Pilots and Owners Association and Camrose Flying Club will be offering a COPA for Kids program at the Bashaw Airport June 9 and the Camrose Airport June 16. "We've had so much success with the program at the Camrose airport the last three years we have decided to expand and offer it at the Bashaw airport as well," explained Camrose Flying Club president Barry Graham. "We already have 17 youth from the Bashaw Boys and Girls Club signed up, with more on a waiting list." COPA for Kids is a free aviation program that puts COPA member pilots together one-onone with young people to show them what aviation is all about and give them the experience of being in the cockpit of an aircraft flight. Participants experience an enjoyable flight that gives them new perspectives on the world and life in general, a chance to examine a working aircraft close up on the ground, a short ground school session on the various parts of an aircraft, and a walk around in which they learn how pilots prepare for each flight. "They learn the technology and science of flight and are shown the advantages of the hard work required to achieve a pilot's licence," said Graham. The flight is conducted according to Canadian Aviation regulations. "Flying time is in the range of 20 minutes and there are no aerobatic maneuvres," said Graham. "Last year we went south to the CFCW towers, to Dried Meat Lake, over to Bawlf and back to Camrose." The total time that elapses from the time the youth begin the program to the time they

have their picture taken is about an hour. The COPA for Kids program has been well received in Camrose since the first one was held in 2010 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of powered flight in Canada. Pilots or airplane owners donate their fuel and time, while volunteers from the Flying Club provide ground support. "I think the pilots of the aircraft enjoy COPA for Kids program as much as the youth," said Graham. "It is always fun to take people up for a ride. When you have youth excited about flying it makes the whole thing worthwhile." COPA and Camrose Flying Club members hope the COPA for Kids program will demystify the process of flying and encourage those who participate to become pilots themselves. Parents of Camrose youth who wish to participate in the COPA for Kids program must register at the Camrose Fly-In Breakfast on the morning of Sunday, May 26. In the event of unsuitable weather on either June 9 or 16 the alternate day for COPA for Kids is Sunday, June 23. COPA is a Canadian nonprofit association representing some 18,000 pilots, aircraft owners and aviation enthusiasts across all the provinces and territories in Canada. Members are from every age group, including many airline and commercial pilots, engineers and business people. They fly all types of aircraft, including "amateur built" (a category of aircraft designated by Transport Canada, built by individual craftsmen, instead of on a factory assembly line). The 16,000 aircraft belonging to COPA members represent more than half of all the 31,000 aircraft in Canada. COPA has a scholarship program to recognize excellence among students who are learning the skills needed in the field of aviation.

Extra inning costly for Axemen against Blackhawks By Murray Green

The Edmonton Blackhawks needed an extra inning to beat the Camrose Axemen 5-1 in North Central Alberta Baseball League action on Harry Andreassen Field at Kin Park on May 14. Camrose scored first in the fifth inning when catcher Ryan Borman crossed the plate. Edmonton fought back with one in the sixth, which eventually led to an extra inning. John Kelndorfer led the Axemen offence with two hits. Luc Riopel, Paul Ofrim, Dennis Landriault and Kris Johnson chipped in with one hit each. Pitcher Steve Enright tossed a four hitter in six innings, while walking one, hitting a batter and recording one strikeout. Ofrim came in relief and struggled in his second inning of work. He allowed four hits and walked one batter. Blackhawks manager Randy Gregg stuck with pitcher Dave Schneider for eight innings. He allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out one. In a pitchers' duel, Camrose Axemen hurler Cory Martz tossed a two-hitter to lead the men's team to a 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Indians on May 12. Martz pitched a complete game by allowing one run on two hits and three walks, while striking out six batters. He also scored a run to help his own cause. Luc Riopel, J.J. Straker and Johnson led the Camrose offence with hits. Ofrim and Kelndorfer chipped in with RBIs on Harry Andreassen Field. Indians' pitcher Jason Louis did everything he could to give his squad a chance to win. He not only held the Axemen to three hits on the mound, he collected both hits for Edmonton and scored the run. The Axemen scored both runs in the third inning when Johnson started the rally with a single, Martz walked and Riopel laid down a push bunt for a single to load the bases. That's when Ofrim walked and Kelndorfer hit into a fielders' choice to give the Axemen the only runs they needed. 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.

"I finished second in the 800m, even though I prefer the longer distance races," explained Brenden. "I really like running and it is something that you can carry on for the rest of your life. I like longer distances because I feel that I'm better at them."

Brenden admits he is not a sprinter. "I enjoy longer distances because I do better at them. For some reason I'm not as comfortable running in shorter races," added Brenden. "I did a little bit of running in elementary and then in junior high and at the high school. This is my final year, so I want to do well in two events." Last year, the track athlete placed fourth twice and had a fifth to miss the cut to move onto the next round. "My goal is to do well in the city-county and area meet to reach zones. Then we'll see what happens," said Brenden. "I want to keep improving my times with each competition." Each track meet brings tougher competition. "I have to keep practising. Since I'm doing

long distances, I want to keep up my stamina and improve it. I need to get a little faster," he admitted. "My goal is to keep improving and try out for the track team at the University of Alberta." Brenden has had some help along the way. "Track at the CCHS has improved and more people are getting involved. A couple of years ago, hardly anyone did it and now there are a lot more people in track and we are doing better in placings. The other thing is that our coaches work so hard with us." Track and field can be a lifelong sport. "It is good to keep your body healthy and it is important to have a good time," said Brenden.

Hesjedal enters Tour of Alberta By Murray Green

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Bawlf School intermediate shot put competitor Sam Johnson launches a good throw at the City/County high school track and field event in Camrose on May 15. Johnson advanced to the area meet on May 22 at the CCHS.

The best cyclist in Canada will be entered in the Tour of Alberta on Sept. 3 to 6 and stop in Camrose at the end of the first leg on Sept. 4. Tour of Alberta confirmed that Team Garmin Sharp will be participating in the event and Canadian star cyclist Ryder Hesjedal, the winner of the 2012 Giro D’Italia, is on that team. A complete list of all teams will be announced in June, with the final roster of individual cyclists expected to be released in August. The Tour of Alberta will feature some of the world’s top professional cyclists and cover close to 900 km. The event begins with the prologue in Edmonton on Sept.

3, as racers will speed through a short 7.3 km course to determine starting positions for the first stage. One rider at a time will be racing the clock in downtown Edmonton. The official start of the Tour of Alberta will take place on Sept. 4 in Sherwood Park. The first stage is a 158 km leg that winds north to Fort Saskatchewan before turning south to Miquelon Lake and finishing in Camrose. Once the celebrations are over in Camrose, the riders will be transported to Devon. The second stage is about 175 km between Devon and Red Deer on Sept. 5. The third stage on Sept. 6 covers 169 km from Strathmore to Drumheller. Stage 4 goes through the Rocky Moun-

tains from Black Diamond to Canmore, with 200 km. On the last stage cyclists travel 132 km from Okotoks to the finish line in downtown Calgary. “Cycling fans will appreciate both the fast sprints across wide-open prairies, as well as some challenging climbs in the Rockies. At the same time, people from around the world will get to see some amazing scenery and embrace Alberta western hospitality,” said Duane Vienneau, executive director of the Tour of Alberta. The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) sanctioned race will be broadcast in more than 100 countries with an expected television audience of 35 million. The race will be broadcast live each day on Sportsnet in Canada.

Show and Shine back on Main Street By Murray Green

The Camrose Cruisers Car Show, 100-Footer and Cruise will be held on Main Street and at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on May 24 to 26. "New this year will be side-byside racing on Exhibition Drive," said an excited Ken Mah, one of the organizers of the event. "The pavement is smoother and it will be a lot of fun." The weekend starts with a fun run 100-footer event that will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on May 24, beginning at 6 p.m. Anyone may test how their vehicle will perform. "On Friday night it is a 100-footer for people to see what their vehicle can do," said organizer Ken Mah. "They can enter cars, trucks or motorcycles, it doesn't really matter. This is a great opportunity for youth to come out and burn some tires legally." The autocross course will be held on Saturday at the CRE from 1 to 4 p.m. Registration is from 10 to noon. "The autocross is a pylon course to test your driving skills," explained Ken. "You go as fast as you can without knocking over the pylons." At the same time, the show and shine takes place downtown. "We are back on Main Street again this year," said Ken. The show and shine registration is from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The actual show is from 1 to 5 p.m. However, most of the cars will be lining up early, so people can start viewing the vehicles by about 11 a.m. After the show and shine downtown, a cruise on Main Street will begin at 6 p.m. on May 25. About 200 vehicles will be cruising the city for about two hours. The organizers ask drivers who are not part of the cruise to refrain from going on Main Street for the first hour and a half of the cruise. "We will have an old style drive-in movie at the Max McLean Arena parking lot, beginning at dusk. We will be showing Born 2 Race and all you need is an FM radio," said Ken. The movie is about Danny Krueger, a rebellious young street racer on a collision course with trouble. After an accident at an illegal street race, he is sent to a small town to live with his estranged father, a washed up NASCAR racer. On Sunday, the competition heats up at the CRE with a full day of timed racing. "The 100-footer begins at 1 p.m. We will split the vehicles into two classes, street legal and racing. Then they will be put into divisions based on times," added Ken. "The best qualifying time from the first round will be used to determine which class the competitors will be in." The registration for racing is from 9 a.m. to noon with racing to go from 1 to about 5 p.m. The burnout competition will be at the end of the 100-footer event. About 70 vehicles are expected for the event.

Service dog Lucy assists Victim Services Unit By Murray Green Lucy is reporting for duty. The specially selected canine is a fully trained service dog, that assists volunteer advocates in helping victims of crime and tragedy. "This is the first dog in Camrose and in the province (second in Canada) to be trained in victim services. We have had Lucy for almost a month and, so far she has settled into her new job nicely," said Const. Matt Wilton, forensic identification specialist and crime prevention officer. "She is a very well trained dog and in fact is the first in the province to work in a role such as this. It has been great so far to have another outlet to help comfort victims and make them feel more at ease," added Const. Wilton. Victim Service Unit coordinator Michelle Hauser welcomed a new partner into the fold both at home and at the office. "She has a calm about her that brings a calming effect to those around her. She can provide a healthy distraction during a traumatic event and perhaps provide some normalcy to traumatic events." Lucy is a two-year-old black lab that was trained by Dogs with Wings. "She is invited into the courts to provide extra support to children and adults alike," Michelle said. "She can be used in interviews. Instead of a child telling her story to adults they don't know, they can share their story with Lucy and feel more comfortable. She will be a positive distraction for children from being in a room with total strangers." Often when children have a bad day, they turn to pets for comfort. "She can put her head on them, or offer a paw to show support. The difference is she doesn't just do that for one family, she can do that for anyone that needs comfort," added Const. Wilton. Lucy leads a double life just like humans. "She is a working dog during the day, or when she is called out and she has a life at home," said Michelle. "She has a special mat where she sits. Lucy won't leave the mat without a command from her trainer. We could leave the room and come back hours later and she will still be on the mat. When she is on the mat, she doesn't move unless told to and takes her work seriously. Lucy can be petted, and you can do almost anything to her without her flinching." When off duty, Lucy wags her tail when happy and has a bounce in her step. She knows the difference between work and play time. "She is trained to pick up items and give them to her trainer. Lucy can even open doors by pushing the handicapped button for people," said Michelle. "She has a service vest on indicating she can be approached and petted, which is different than a regular police working dog." Dogs with Wings is the only accredited assistance dog training centre in Alberta. Dogs

must pass three stages before receiving their wings. In the first year they take part in a puppy program. "We have puppy raisers in Camrose that are working with a dog," said Const. Wilton. They are carefully monitored to check their progress during this crucial phase of development. When the dog reaches 12 to 16 months the training is intensified in an adult program. When the dog is ready to leave its trainers, it is involved in a team training program to handle orders from new owners. Victim Services applied for a service dog 18 months ago and was accepted three months later. Lucy started training in early April and joined the Camrose and District Victim Services and the Camrose Police Service on April 15. She has spent the last month getting to know her new surroundings and Michelle. "Lucy is not a regular dog. She has been trained specially to work with victims of crime and tragedy both with children and adults. Dogs with Wings has put many hours into her training that enables her to be a comfort for hours on end to victims as they are either going through the interview process with police, crown prosecutors, or children services." Lucy is also an ambassador for the police department. "I take her to schools to meet people, or if a group visits the station, I bring her out to explain her role," said Const. Wilton. "We believe that Lucy will enhance the services that we can provide to victims. She will be able to provide a depth of comfort and calm that becomes an ice breaker and opens the lines of communication, especially when communicating is hard particularly for children, or persons with disabilities," added Const. Wilton. Michelle is fully trained to handle Lucy and they are called out together if victim services feel they need Lucy's assistance. "Once she feels comfortable in her new surroundings at home and at the office, another person will be trained, so if I'm not available, she can go with someone else," said Michelle. "She doesn't replace anyone. Lucy is another tool to help us in victim services. We ask if people have allergies, or if children are scared of dogs before she is brought in." Lucy works at the police station with Michelle every week day and practices her routine as well. "Dogs with Wings gave us this dog to work with victim services. They rely on donations and fund-raisers to keep up the training, so we are thankful for the Dog with Wings organization."

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Camrose Police Service Const. Matt Wilton shows how well Lucy is trained by placing food on her head and had her sit still without moving or eating the food until given a new command. She will be helping the Victim Services Unit by adding comfort to both children and adults.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Const. Matt Wilton of the Camrose Police Service, Lucy and Victim Services Unit coordinator Michelle Hauser are ready to assist with crime victims. Lucy is trained to sit still during court cases, give support to people when needed and be an ambassador for the police service.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Marcy Humphrey takes care of her patients in the diagnostic imaging department at St. Mary’s Hospital and also has their best interests in mind when she attends seminars. Marcy was presented with the Mission Award for Stewardship from Covenant Health for her creative ideas.

Humphrey helps St. Mary’s improve the quality of care By Murray Green

Marcy Humphrey has been leading innovations in the diagnostic imaging department at St. Mary’s Hospital that improves the quality of care for patients, and saves the health care system money. On April 25, she was recognized with a Mission Award for Stewardship. The mission awards are Covenant Health’s provincial awards for recognizing staff that live their mission, vision and values. Marcy is one of only six recipients across Alberta, chosen from a pool of over 14,000 employees. There is one award for each of the values; stewardship, compassion, respect, collaboration, social justice and integrity. "Stewardship, to me, means that I am doing the best that I can with the tools, time and funds that we have available to work with," said Marcy. "We give patients the best care we can with new innovations, while working within a budget." Marcy, who is from Camrose, moved to St. Mary's when the hospital brought in the CT scanner in 2006. She began her work in CT scanning shortly after graduating in 1995. Marcy worked at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton and in Australia before joining St. Mary's. "I've been blessed by working at some of the best hospitals that have that family feel. Camrose has that same feel," she said. "The administration staff that we have been blessed with at St. Mary's are amazing. When they make a decision, they focus back on the mission values to ensure they are following those values. The staff has more input and you work as a team." Marcy started exploring stewardship opportunities for St. Mary’s Hospital when she attended various conferences in her field. “Marcy took the initiative to implement changes that are efficient and cost effective, without being prompted, because she knew that the changes were best for patients, staff and the organization. She ensures that we are always meeting the highest standards,” said Cherylyn Antymniuk, executive director at St. Mary’s Hospital, and Marcy’s nominator for her mission award. The first innovative change that Marcy spearheaded began after she learned about the use of Visipaque 320, a solution that is injected in order to make images of internal organs clearer with iodine during x-rays and is used to study the body’s circulatory system. Marcy learned that the use of this drug has a less harmful effect on the kidneys than the drug that they were presently using, and so she recommended it for all diabetic patients, regardless of their kidney function. Now these patients are able to receive safer diagnostic care. "This is less stressful for those people who are diabetics. We implemented a protocol that all diabetics would receive the 'Mercedes' model of x-ray dye. It is safer for their kidneys. We don't give it to everyone because people like you or I don't need it." This change amounts to about 20 diabetic patients a month receiving safer care, and saves the health care system money by providing better diagnostic and preventive care for these patients. "Anytime you receive an award, it is quite humbling and overwhelming, especially when you are nominated by your peers," added Marcy. "When I go to conferences, I am listening to the experts from some of the best hospitals in the world. I start thinking what we can do in Camrose to improve our systems to help patients, conditions, or save money. Lee-Ann (Campbell, another MRT2 staff member) and I went to the conference in Las Vegas. It was made possible from support from the Royal Bank. Going to other places and gathering that information is huge. It is important to take what you have learned to the next level. There is so much that we can take back to our patients." Marcy also investigated and submitted a proposal, which is pending approval, for use of a closed IV system that would benefit both patients and staff. These closed systems would eliminate blood and fluid exposure, prevent needle-sticks, cause less damage to veins, have longer IV lives and take fewer attempts to put in, all while decreasing the risk of infection to the patient. "John Hopkins Hospital had set up protocol for new IVs they were using. We haven't started it yet because of cost. It is great for those who have small, fragile veins. It is better to have the right size of IV," explained Marcy. "It's a lot of little tweaking to improve things at St. Mary's. We want to keep our little hospital up to big hospital standards." Marcy said it means a lot to her to have received the award. "It just means that I am doing my job. It is so humbling." She also received the Sisters of Providence award from Covenant Health in March.

CAMROSE KODIAKS GOALS FOR KIDS

The Camrose Kodiaks teamed up with Camrose Chrysler, Norsemen Inn, Central Agencies and National Superstorage this past season on a Goals for Kids promotion. For every goal the Kodiaks scored, each business donated $20 to a charity of its choice. With the team scoring 184 goals, the total amount received by the charities was $3,680. National Superstorage chose to support Camrose Special Olympics, which received a donation of $920. Presenting a cheque to Camrose Special Olympics representatives Carol Wideman (centre) and Eldon Jackson (right) at a Camrose Kodiaks playoff game was National Superstorage owner Lori Huolt. Camrose Kodiaks expressed appreciation to all the businesses who stepped up to the plate with the promotion and indicated it is something they will likely do again when the new season starts in the fall.

Camrose Food Bank hosting provincial conference By Dan Jensen

Camrose and District Food Bank will be hosting Food for Thought, the annual conference of the Alberta Food Banks Network Association at Bethel Lutheran Church Thursday, May 23, and Friday, May 24. "We're going to have representatives from 31 of the Association's 58 Food Banks," said conference coordinator Elaine Hook. "Our hope is to give them information on how they can improve their service and operate more efficiently." Conference sessions will cover a wide variety of topics of interest to Food Bank operators. Brianna Wells, manager of development with Food Banks Canada, will speak on the National Food Share program, which provides a simple way for consumers to support their local food banks and, in turn, those who are less fortunate. In Alberta, consumers can support their local food bank by choosing to add $2 to their receipt

at the checkout by swiping the plastic scan card at the till. The $2 goes directly to the local food bank to be put towards future purchases of most needed items at that store. All money raised in the community stays in the community to benefit those in need. Lesley Conley, coordinator of information services, Charity Central, will be speaking on the do's and don'ts of tax receipting and the Legal Resource Centre of Canada, which helps charities understand their responsibilities under the Income Tax Act. Local philanthropist, business owner and community builder Ron Grue will share ways of putting the fun back in fundraising through influence and persuasion. Special event coordinator/ instructor Elisa Holland will speak on her experience in crisis negotiation. Jason Heise, from Vital Effect, will speak on using social

media in a presentation entitled To Tweet or Not To Tweet. Randal Nickel, from the Camrose Open Door Association, will be speaking on opening doors. Guest speaker for the Thursday dinner will be Wendy Edie, from the Hope Foundation. "Wendy is an adjunct assistant professor at the U of A, a counselling psychologist and a group facilitator," said Hook. "Her topic will be Audacious Hope in the Age of Food Banks: What would a hopeful person do." The Camrose Food Bank is one of the smaller food banks in Alberta to host the annual conference. "We have been fortunate to receive good support from the community," said Heck. "The presentation by Wendy Edie is being sponsored by Camrose County." The annual meeting will be chaired by Susan Krecsy, from the Alberta Food Banks Network Association. The Alberta Food Bank

Network Association provides support and leadership to food banks in Alberta in their efforts to provide short-term relief in the areas of food insecurity, while working on long-term solutions to hunger and poverty. Money from the Alberta Food Banks Assistance Fund is made available to member food banks to assist with various needs, whether it be for the purchase of food, renovations, new or updated equipment, or emergency situations. Food banks are required to complete an application and submit it to the AFBNA office, along with any required substantiation. Each application is reviewed by the AFBNA board of directors on an individual basis. The conference falls on the heels of Hunger Awareness Week, which was held from May 6 to 10. The week included a day of fasting on May 8, during which people were able to show their support for the 900,000 Canadians who rely on food banks each month.

Mr. Walter Pringle of Camrose passed away on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at the age of 78 years. Walter was born on October 20, 1934 in Port Huron, Michigan, the only child of Cecil and Fern Pringle. He had a happy childhood living on his family’s wooded acreage outside of Port Huron, attending country school, exploring the woods with his dog, and playing baseball with his friends. He grew up enjoying athletics and participated in baseball, football, track and field and boxing. His mother remembered him playing in three baseball leagues at the same time one summer. He was mentored by a coach in a Methodist youth sports program. He studied two years of pre-engineering before serving in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1956 as a Specialist Third Class. While in the army, he became an assistant to a Church of God chaplain who encouraged him to attend Anderson College. He also attended Adrian College and Wayne State University in Michigan where he received his Master’s degree in Educational Guidance and Counseling. While at Anderson, he met and married Jacqueline Schieck. He taught Junior High Mathematics in East Detroit, Michigan for six years, and three years at an International Boarding School in Kodaikanal, India. Over the years, he kept in touch with many of his former students and teaching colleagues. On returning to Michigan in 1970, his son Gregory Alan Pringle was born. Walter taught school for another seven years before moving the family to Camrose to join Mina Schieck in her retail business and later became a Canadian citizen. Walt was a loving father and husband who always looked forward to spending time with his son and grandchildren. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed hiking, fishing and photography. Some of his favourite memories were fly fishing in belly boats with Nelson Schieck near Kelowna. He learned to tie flies and make fly rods, spending many hours enjoying his new hobby. He is survived by his wife Jacqueline; son Gregory; daughter-in-law Lori (Perrault); grandsons Connor and Quinn; sister-in-law Elaina Firestone; niece Jamai Moltzahn; nephew Maxwell Moltzahn; great-niece Jordan Moltzahn; and an uncle and numerous cousins in Michigan. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, May 18, 2013 from Camrose Church of God with Rev. Brian Krushel officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Sahakarini (Box 1685, Camrose, Alberta T4V 1X6) or to St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation.

Curtis Hoveland In loving memory of our son Curtis who passed away on May 23, 1997 It isn’t what we write Or even what we say. It’s what we feel inside our hearts As we think of you each day. As time goes by without you, And days turn into years, We hold a thousand memories And a million tears. Forever loved and missed by Mom, Dad, Deborah and Ted, Shane and Bri, Darren and Robin

As life unfolds this tenth year, Treasured memories keep you near. We think of you in silence, We often speak your name, But all we have are memories And your picture in a frame. Our hearts still ache in sadness, Our silent tears still flow, For what it meant to lose you No one will ever know. So may the winds of love blow gently, And whisper so that you can hear How much we love and miss you, And wish that you were here. Forever loved and sadly missed by Barb, Marvin, Trevor and Dawn

City and County host prayer breakfast at CRE By Dan Jensen

There wasn't an empty seat at the third annual Camrose City and County Prayer Breakfast hosted by the Camrose Regional Exhibition May 15. Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers said the breakfast is an opportunity to focus on the importance ministries play in the community's ongoing health and say a special thank you to our faith leaders. "It brings people together who are extraordinary influences in our community and who have become our friends. "It is an opportunity to reflect and keep everything in perspective." LeRoy Johnson, speaking on behalf of Wetaskiwin-MLA Verlyn Olson, said prayer breakfasts are largely about leadership. "Leadership involves more than just elected officials. We need and have a strong leadership in our business community, in education, health, social services, in our families, in our churches and throughout our community."

Johnson said the breakfast's theme of faith, family and forgiveness are important dimensions in healthy community life. "It is an appropriate theme upon which to centre our thoughts in this breakfast of fellowship, unity, of direction and prayer." Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson said prayer breakfasts are all about faith. "Together we celebrate the commonalities of our faith. I can say that for many members of parliament or politicians, generally, those in service – whether municipal or provincial or federal – there is a desire to accomplish something good for the people they represent. For many people the driver is faith. It is faith. They believe that they have a role, they believe they have a responsibility – a God given responsibility – to serve. Sorenson said families – the second part of the prayer breakfast theme – are really what sustains us from day to day. "Families help us to recognize there is more in this than

just self. We want to leave our communities, our province, our country a better place for our families and for our children and grandchildren." Sorenson said forgiving ourselves (and others) and accepting the forgiveness of others is what empowers us to continue on in spite of our shortcomings. "Believe you me, politicians have shortcomings. There are

errors and mistakes, and without that forgiveness, and without being able to seek apologies, it would make it almost impossible to continue." The Camrose City and County Prayer Breakfast is fashioned after the National Prayer Breakfast, scheduled this year for June 3 and 4 in Ottawa. An excerpt from www.canadaprayerbreakfast.ca states, "Through genuine

Tien speaks on Faith, Family and Forgiveness By Dan Jensen

Doug Tien is helped by Jesus' instructions on forgiveness when he recalls the night of November, 29, 1996, when a drunk driver took the life of his brother Dale, and sister-in-law Sheila on Highway 21 near Armena. Asked how many times we should forgive others, Jesus answered "not seven but seventy times seven." "This passage from the gospel of Matthew is a challenging message of unlimited forgiveness," said Tien, who was the guest speaker at the Camrose City County prayer breakfast May 15. "Undoubtedly, one of Christ's most difficult teachings is the need to forgive those who have sinned against us. Each time we recite the Lord's Prayer, the entire Christian church prays forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us. The key part of this prayer is a simple ask. We are asking for mercy from our Lord only to the degree that we ourselves can be merciful unto others. We have to ask ourselves if we are able to forgive seventy times seven. In other words, can we offer unlimited forgiveness to those people in our lives who have offended us. There are certainly no shortages of opportunities to forgive co-workers, friends, family members, spouses, children and even our enemies. The challenge is to develop the will to do so, and obviously, this is easier said than done." Dale and Sheila Tien left behind four young children from the ages of four and a half to 11. "I remember leaving the hospital after doing what I could to help identify them that this is the biggest cross our family has ever been asked to carry," said Tien. "I can now recall how faith, the parish and the community surrounded us and the children. And now we can see how everybody had a part in raising them. That was this community, these schools, these teachers, these coaches. Everybody had a part. Through the grace of God we did have the opportunity to do things

joyfully with the kids, things that we knew that their parents would have done with them." Tien and other family members spent many hours with the chief crown prosecutor, and was able to hear from the defence counsel, the Camrose Police and the RCMP. "The man who drove the truck was charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing death," said Tien. "In the end he plea bargained for three years in jail and the loss of his driver's licence for ten years. We had a civil suit that went on for many years, and looking back on that time I realize that everything I had to do something on it I became anxious, mad, and even, a psychologist would say, depressed." Tien said if we become fixated on how other people have wronged us we become blinded to our own need for forgiveness, for conversion. "If we start with the Father's gift of pardon of our own sins and shortcomings we will find it easier to forgive other people. I knew I would forgive this man. It took a long time, but I can remember where I was when I did. We were

out on a pilgrimage at Lac St. Anne in the summer, at a family conference." Tien has come to the realization that forgiving does not mean forgetting. "It doesn't have anything to do with forgetting about the accident or about them," he said. Tien noted that drinking and driving continues to be a major problem on highways, as evidenced by Alberta statistics from 2009 which showed that 209 of the 394 driving fatalities were impairment related. "That is 17.5 people per month. The national (average) is about eighty per month. We know there are lots of people being affected by it." Tien remembers telling CBC Television in an interview that the irresponsible action of the driver meant that four children could not grow up with their parents. "I have been thinking of how often we say, 'oh it was careless.' Like it is not a big deal. But we are really saying I don't care whether you live or die when we drink and drive." Tien moved with his fam-

ily to Camrose in 1964 where he completed his secondary education at St. Patrick School and Camrose Composite High School. After a year at Camrose Lutheran College he moved on to the University of Alberta, where he received a Bachelor of Commerce in 1974. "My first job was in Edmonton," said Tien. "We were all very career driven, keen business students and grads, but I remember the world was quite secular among us young people. We worked hard and we played hard, long hours, lots of stress and a party for everything. Generally there was no sense of faith that I could discern in the workplace, so if that has changed I am glad it has. I like to say we could have easily been pagans, even though we were all baptized. Certainly it was an easy place to become a workaholic, which is something that happens more often than we know. Certainly I believed I was on my way to becoming one of those." Tien returned to Camrose in 1979, and with his sister, Shirley (Rostad) started an accounting firm. He served on the St. Mary's Hospital board from 1984 to 1993, during which time the present hospital was built. "During that time the Sisters of Providence had us on a trustees' retreat," said Tien. "We learned about care-ism and mission, and that we all have a mission in life – it is a matter of determining what it is." Tien has been married to Mary (a teacher) since 1987. "I count that as my greatest single blessing: sharing life and growing in faith together," said Tien. "Under her influence I got a work life balance. I hardly knew what it was before that." Doug and Mary's daughter, Shannon, is pursuing graduate studies in Montreal. Tien was ordained as a permanent deacon for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton on July 4, 2008. He serves at St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Parish in Camrose.

friendships, built on the Spirit of Jesus, it is hoped that individuals can discover ways of being together which cross religious, social and political boundaries in order to pray for and bless the lives of many. In non-partisan gatherings, members are not only given the chance to know one another better, but also have an opportunity to recognize the presence of God in one another. The purpose of the Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast is to call men and women to God, and then to entrust them with the application of what it means to live out God's grace as leaders. It is not the aim of the Breakfast Group to influence the thinking of others towards any particular political viewpoint, but to trust in the workings of God, that as we love and pray for one another, the Holy Spirit will work in our lives to help us grow as women and men who love mercy, seek justice and humbly walk with God. We seek to reach out with respect and love, witnessing to Jesus' teachings and his way of life in quiet and life-changing ways."

Mackenzie Doll proudly displays her gold medal. By Murray Green

Mackenzie Doll earned a gold medal in the National Wheelchair Basketball Championships. Her team won the gold medal in Longueil, Quebec, on April 28. Doll was part of the Edmonton Inferno women's team that qualified for the nationals. Six teams from across the nation battled for the medals. "I didn't think we would finish where we did. We were hoping for second or third because last year we lost to Quebec and they have a strong team. Especially, since they were hosting nationals," said Mackenzie. "Last year, we lost by two points in the crossover (semifinal) game and this year we beat them by eight points. It was a completely different game." Mackenzie turned a bad season into a celebration. "This was really a tough year for me in basketball because I broke my leg in November. I was out for two and a half months and missed the Canadian women's tryouts, which were held in Las Vegas. I missed that by a week," she explained. "Winning this medal is really significant." The Camrose Composite High School student had her leg broken on the basketball court. "I was stopped with the ball on my lap and some guy rammed me at full speed. That was devastating," added Mackenzie. Since the Edmonton squad placed fourth last season, winning any medal was a step in the right direction for the Inferno. "We played well at the times that counted this year," she said. "We had a little different team this year. We didn't have our best player with us last year because

she was on the national team during the championships. That made a really big difference." Wheelchair basketball isn't based on certain positions like regular basketball. "Players are based on whether they are ablebodied down to severely handicapped. It is based on range of mobility and what you can do in the basketball chair. You have to put players on the court that meet a point system. Instead of having a certain position, you are matched with another person of the same point value," she explained. "You are usually switching in and out with the same person." Since Quebec has been a strong team for awhile, Mackenzie never played against them before. "I was excited to play them and be able to play at that high level in the semifinals," she said. "Then we met Calgary (Rollers) in the gold medal game for an all Alberta final. We have beaten them several times, but in the last game we played against them we had a tired team and lost by 20. So, we were not sure what to expect." Edmonton beat the Rollers 61-52 in the final. "I felt that I played really well. My role was to pass the ball to the top scorers on the team," she said, who is a second year player on the Inferno. "We played in a few tournaments and hosted one as well. We lost to Calgary in the final of our own tournament." Mackenzie is planning to go to Grant MacEwan University in the fall. The move will put her closer to the team for games and practices. She is expecting another good season for the club.

Chev Impala Redesigned, even better for 2014

By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Chev Impala at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC represents the tenth generation of one of the industry's most enduring and popular nameplates. "Impala has a heritage of pushing the segment with bold designs, new technologies and premium features not typically found at its price point," said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC Will McClellan. "The 2014 Impala's combination of efficiency, refinement, infotainment choices and driving confidence will rest the benchmark in its segment and affirm its position as Chevrolet's flagship sedan." Driving experience

Impala offers three powertrains, each featuring fuel-saving direct injection and lightweight components: the 3.6 litre V-6, the new Ecotec 2.5 litre four-cylinder, and the Ecotec 2.4 litre with eAssist. Output for the 3.6 litre V-6 is estimated at 305 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. That is the highest horsepower output in the segment from a naturally-aspiriated V-6 engine. Lightweight features support a more balanced driving experience and include an integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design that saves approximately six kg per engine. The Ecotec 2.5 litre is part of a new family of four-cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement.

It is estimated at 196 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft.. of torque. Impala's Ecotec 2.4 litre engine with eAssist provides electrical assist in certain conditions to save fuel. It is rated at an estimated 182 horsepower and helps achieve 6.2 litres per 100 km. All of Impala's engines are matched with six-speed automatic transmissions. Control

A slightly longer wheelbase gives the 2014 Impala an excellent feel of comfort and control, no matter what the road conditions. Engineers optimized the upper body structure shape, material and metal gauge to meet all performance requirements with minimal mass, and then applied the mass strategically to other parts of the vehicle. This mass savings allowed engineers to add front strut tower reinforcement to improve structural feel. Those strut towers are home to a MacPherson-strut front suspension design that delivers a greater measure of control with rebound springs that are internal to the struts. They enable more refined calibration of the struts that result in a smoother overall ride, while also enhancing body roll control and weight transfer during acceleration or turning. An isolated front cradle for the engine and transmission, as well as a hydraulic ride bushing, help deliver a smoother, quieter ride. All models feature an electric, variable-assist steering system that helps save fuel by draw-

ing energy only when the steering wheel is turned. Designed to complement Impala's balance of responsiveness and comfort, the EPS feel is light and direct, with greater assistance at slow speeds and higher effort at highway speeds. It also incorporates Pull Drift Compensation, which automatically adjusts the steering effort to account for factors such as crowned roads or high crosswinds – factors that typically cause the driver to turn the steering wheel slightly to maintain a straight path. Ambience

A comprehensive package of sound-absorbing, sound-suppressing and even active noise cancellation (standard on four cylinder models) – a first for a Chevy sedan – helps make the 2014 Impala Chevrolet's quietest full-size sedan ever. An acoustically-laminated windshield and front-door glass, along with liquid-applied sound deadener, sound-absorbing carpet and an isolated engine cradle, are some of the features that help provide a quieter driving experience. With active noise cancellation, ceiling-mounted microphones detect engine noise, the frequencies of which are processed by a computer that directs counteracting sound waves through the audio system's speakers and subwoofer. Thin A-pillars and a low instrument panel enhance outward visibility, while the car's sixwindow greenhouse surrounds

passengers with natural light. The seats are bolstered for greater support and the seat cushions deliver a firm, premium feel. Standard on LT and LTZ models, the rear-seat headrests fold to improve rear visibility when there are no back-seat passengers. Premium interior materials and details such as high-quality fabric, sueded microfibre and perforated leather appointments, complement the quiet environment and give the Impala a substantive look and feel. The instrument cluster has a rich look, with multidimensional gauges and a configurable colour driver information centre with a 4.2-inch screen. The cluster's ice-blue lighting enhances the upscale aura of the cabin, while available chrome trim with "bleed through" ambient lighting further enhances the cabin's sophisticated flair. It completely transforms the trim's appearance by illuminating it during nighttime driving. A prominent centre stack is integrated in the instrument panel and houses the climate controls and Chevrolet MyLink, which includes navigation and Bluetooth audio streaming, among many other features, and is controlled via a touch screen on an available eight-inch display. A standard audio amplifier is a feature not typical for the segment, and a Bose surroundsound audio system is available – the first in a Chevrolet car. Design details

Impala's long, low propor-

Graeme Davidson McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC tion has a wind-swept profile that suggests motion, while the range of 18-, 19- and 20-inch wheels is tailored to the body to provide that just right stance. At the front, low-profile projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps on LTZ sweep around the corners and frame a wide grille, while a power dome hood conveys performance. Sculpted coves in the body sides add to the Impala's design drama, with a sweeping signature cue in the rear fenders that acknowledges classic Impala designs.

Submitted Parents, staff and students are celebrating 15 years of OSCAR. No he’s not the grumpy monster who lives in a garbage can. OSCAR is an after school program that’s been providing a safe and caring environment for Camrose school children. The accredited, licensed, program began in February 1998 as a pilot project and has given parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe and cared for until they arrive from work. “Not everyone has the luxury to work from 9 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. when the bell goes. OSCAR gives working parents peace of mind,” said parent and board member Amanda Dyer. Today the program is offered at Chester Ronning, Jack Stuart, Sparling, (St. Patrick students are picked up and escorted by an OSCAR staff to Sparling School) and Ecole Sifton. The program operates from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays and school holidays. “From the pilot project in February 1998, where the program was offered in Chester Ronning School, OSCAR has grown by leaps and bounds. We’ve heard lots of positive comments from parents and families about what a relief it is to have an affordable, safe option for students,” said Amanda. The program provides students with an opportunity for learning, physical activities and a snack is also included. “The great thing is, students collect their backpacks and head to the OSCAR room as soon as school lets out. There’s no busing involved. I know he’s safe and well cared for. He’s made a lot of great friends through OSCAR and the staff is really professional and attentive,” she added, referring to her son whose been an OSCAR participant for almost two years. OSCAR even provides care on teacher convention and some professional days from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Students must preregister and can enroll for the full day or a half day. Reaching the 15-year milestone, the board wanted to thank families who have supported them and welcome those who will be joining them in the fall by offering a chance to win, one of four, Real Canadian Superstore gift cards valued at $25. “We encourage families to register early (by June 28) to avoid disappointment. The program is becoming increasingly popular at all the locations,” added Amanda. Registration will take place at Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) June 5 and 11

Motorists learn tips about being tire smart for the holiday season Camrose Booster, High Level Echo (MacKenzie Report)

By Kevin Morrison, Xposure

To ensure excellent stopping power on wet road surfaces, most tire makers generally recommend that drivers replace their tires before they are worn to the legal limit (1.6 millimetres or 2/32s of an inch). Motorists are advised to check tread depth once every two months and at the beginning of each new driving season.

Measuring tread depth is a done by inserting a dime upside location.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER May 21, 2013

Uncertainty over cow/calf prices fuels nervousness Submitted by AFSC

With calving across Camrose County, area cattle producers are hoping that high calf prices – fuelled by tight cattle supplies over the last two years – will continue this fall when most calves are weaned and sold. But there are several “unknowns and question marks” on the horizon that have many producers across the province feeling nervous about where calf and feeder cattle prices could end up this year, says Anne Dunford, an Alberta cattle market analyst. “A lot of the nervousness we’re seeing began last fall when the U.S. drought caused corn and feed grain prices to spike, triggering a major drop in calf and feeder cattle prices,” explains Dunford. “Calf prices fell from a record $1.85/lb in February last year to $1.55/lb during the fall calf run. That price drop resulted from significant losses that continue today for feedlots and backgrounders who are shouldering record feed grain costs. The impact of those losses gets passed down the chain, affecting calf prices.” Wild Price Swings and Consumer Demand Cause Concern

The price drop was a classic reminder that tight cattle supplies – the key driver behind today’s high calf and feeder prices – aren’t the only factor that influence prices, says Dunford, noting high feed costs have kept calf prices in the $1.50/lb to $1.55/lb range this spring. “Those prices could climb higher if moisture conditions in the U.S. turn around and large corn crops are harvested this fall, causing feed grain prices to decline. But with so many other question marks on the horizon, there are no guarantees.” Dunford points to extreme market volatility and wild price swings that could pose challenges for cow-calf producers who sell their calves at the same time every fall. Consumer demand is another worry. “Consumers are paying record retail beef prices across North America. How much longer they’ll be willing to pay those prices will depend on the economy. That could have a huge impact on cattle prices this year,” she explains. CPIP-Feeder Participation Triples All of the uncertainty has sparked a surge of interest in Alberta’s Cattle Price Insurance

Uncertainty about where calf and feeder cattle prices may end up this fall has triggered a surge of interest in Alberta’s Cattle Price Insurance Program (CPIP), says Brenda Campbell, with AFSC. She points out the deadline to sign up for CPIP-Calf coverage this year is May 30.

Program (CPIP), that lets producers insure a minimum price for their cattle – protecting them if prices fall lower while still allowing them to sell their cattle at the highest price. “Participation has tripled in the CPIP-Feeder program this year and we’re getting substantially more phone calls and questions about CPIPCalf which is only in its second full year of being offered,” says Brenda Campbell, a field analyst in central Alberta with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), the provincial Crown corporation that administers CPIP. Until now, participation in CPIP-Calf has been low. “Because calf prices have been so strong, many cowcalf producers didn’t feel the need for price protection. But

that’s changing,” says Campbell. CPIP-Calf Payouts Last Fall – Up to $80/Head “Producers are a lot less confident they’ll make money on their calves this year. Many are driving long distances to attend CPIP-Calf information meetings. And every day about 10 new producers sign up to receive CPIP premium tables which are emailed three times a week to more than 1,000 producers across the province,” says Campbell. “It’s all because of the drop in calf and feeder prices last fall that triggered payouts of up to $80 per head on CPIPCalf and up to $195 per head on CPIP-Feeder,” she says, adding, “The CPIP-Fed, Feeder and Basis-Only programs are still triggering payouts due to high feed costs and other factors.”

CPIP-Calf Deadline – May 30 Campbell points out CPIPCalf is offered from February to May, and the deadline to participate this year is May 30. CPIPFeeder – for producers who feed cattle to a certain weight before moving them to a feedlot – and CPIP-Fed – for feedlot operators – are both available year round. Ray Fausak, who runs a grass cattle operation and custom feeds cattle near Stony Plain, says it’s hard not to be nervous about cattle prices. “I am not sure that people realize the huge price swings that are happening in the cattle futures market. If you look at feeder cattle prices, which I follow closely, we used to see 10-cent swings in a year. For the last couple of years it’s been 30-cent swings. If

you take 30 cents per pound on a 1,000-pound animal, that’s huge money and huge risk.” Fausak says that’s why he’s watching the premium tables for CPIPFeeder and CPIP-Fed every day, looking for a good price to lock in on his cattle to manage his downside price risk this year. “It’s a good program and very user-friendly.” Cattle producers who aren’t happy with the CPIP floor prices and premiums being offered today should keep an eye on the premium tables, says Campbell. “Those prices change daily as markets fluctuate.” She explains the floor prices producers can insure with CPIP reflect variables such as futures markets, the price of barley, exchange rates on the Canadian dollar, and the basis – the difference between U.S. and Canadian cattle prices. “It covers all those risks in one tool.” The flexibility of CPIP programs surprises many producers, says Campbell. “Especially when we tell them they don’t have to sell their cattle to collect a claim. They can sell the animal later once prices improve. Or if they insure a floor price for November but sell their calves at a higher price in August, they can still collect a payout if prices drop and trigger a claim in November, even though they’ve already sold the calves – as long as they owned the calves for 60 days during the policy.” No minimum number of cattle need to be insured, and a four-week settlement window gives producers flexibility on when to settle claims, she adds. Claims are triggered when average calf and feeder prices at auction marts across Alberta fall below their insured price. Revenue Protection to Prevent Losses At the end of the day, CPIP takes the gamble out of where cattle prices might end up this fall, says Campbell. “It’s revenue protection that lets you lock in up to 95 per cent of the future forecasted price of Alberta cattle. Sometimes the price you can protect will be profitable. Sometimes it will minimize losses. It depends on where markets are that day.” For more information about CPIP, producers can contact their local AFSC District Office, the AFSC Call Centre at 1-877-899-AFSC (2372) or visit www.afsc.ca.

County places fire ban with limited exceptions By Murray Green

Camrose County imposed a full fire ban within its limits that prohibits the use of all wood, briquette and propane/natural gas fires, including those contained in designated fire receptacles and portable fire pits. Gas and propane stoves, when approved for cooking, are allowed. "We did a survey of surrounding counties and fire chiefs to find that most have a full fire ban on," said county administrator Steve Gerlitz. "We implemented a fire ban on May 8 and have now brought it to council." Camrose County council met on May 15 to discuss the issue and made an exception to the fire ban. "Campfires for cooking and

warming purposes are allowed providing they are attended at all times and are in an enclosed pit," said councillor Glen Nelson, as part of his motion. "It isn't fair to have a total ban. Golf courses and campgrounds are fairly green already, there is water available at each campsite and they rely on people camping, especially on the (long) weekends." He added that some of the surrounding counties have exceptions for camping. "It has turned green fairly fast this year and the ground is still wet in some areas," said councillor Trevor Miller. "We still have some last year's deadfall grass, but rain is in the forecast."

Councillor Doug Lyseng and the reeve wanted to add that people should use extreme caution with fire. They reminded Protective Services that fires must be attended. Burning in barrels is not allowed during fire bans. This ban suspends all existing permits and prohibits the issuance of any new permits. All outdoor fires must be extinguished by the order of Reeve Don Gregorwich. Road bans Councillor Rob Bjorge and the Vehicle Weight Committee suggested that large vehicle weight restrictions be increased to a full ban. All councillors agreed.

"Currently, we have three roads that have a 75 per cent load restriction. All other county and gravel roads are at 100 per cent load bans," explained Steve. Three exceptions are in place for a 75 per cent ban: the portion of Range Road 20-4 commonly known as Pelican Point Road, beginning at its intersection with primary Highway 53 southerly to its termination; the portion of the oiled road Township Road 48-4 from secondary Highway 834 east for one mile through the Hamlet of Round Hill; the portion of Range Road 20-0 commonly known as the Dried Meat Lake Road, beginning at its intersection with Highway 13 then southerly to

the east side of Tillicum Beach Subdivision. "We understand that some roads are a bit soft, according to public works manager Graham Backus," Steve told council. The weight restriction will save the roads from suffering permanent damage. Exemptions from weight restrictions are outlined in Section 12, Alberta Regulation Traffic Safety Act. Commercial Vehicle means a vehicle operated on a highway by or on behalf of a person for the purpose of providing transportation, but does not include a private passenger vehicle as defined under the Traffic Safety Act.

Voytechek wins gold in Skills Alberta competition By Dan Jensen

Camrose resident Wanita Voytechek won the gold medal in the baking component of Skills Alberta at the Expo Centre in Edmonton May 15 and 16. Wanita will now represent Alberta at the Skills Canada national competition to be held in Vancouver in June. "This was the first time that a Camrose student competed at this level in this prestigious competition," said Voytechek's coach, Matthew Stinson. "She competed with the culinary art team while in high school and now continues in the tradition of competition in post secondary." Wanita graduated from Camrose Composite High School

to attend university in Saskatchewan and has spent the past year as a student in the baking program at Northern Institute of Technology (NAIT). She will continue on to complete the next stage of her apprenticeship in Calgary at Southern Institute of Technology (SAIT). Wanita’s event lasted two days with exacting criteria. "On day one of the competition she had to prepare and present various items to include three different French pastries," said Stinson. "She used a pate sucrée for this, producing small dainties that incorporated a raspberry filling, a passion fruit puree and gooseberries as well as a choux pastry that was enhanced by a

pastry cream and a fresh fruit filling and icing." Wanita also produced a poppy seed chiffon cake that had the centre removed and was filled with a raspberry and Grand Mariner mousse layered with a passion fruit mousse. The cake was covered with a butter cream icing, floated with a light chocolate icing and decorated with a white chocolate garnish and served with a strawberry sauce. A sugar centerpiece was comprised of coloured sugar in three different geometrical shapes. "The centerpiece had some requirements that include pulled, blown and poured sugar work; the whole display was rather startling and sported a flower pulled

from sugar and some hand-blown elements that require a lot of dexterity and advanced patisserie skills," said Stinson. The sugar display carried over to day two when it was the last component to be presented. The marking criteria for this event was exacting, with the apprentice with the highest percentage overall for creativity, originality, balance, taste preparedness, safety and sanitation taking the honour of overall winner. Day one also had a requirement for Wanita to mould four attractively coloured and specific weight marzipan figures. Day two of the competition had Wanita completing the sugar

display as well as challenging her skills in chocolate and candy making. "Wanita produced dark chocolates filled with a white chocolate truffle flavoured with rum which is then layered with a milk chocolate truffle mixture," said Stinson. "She also made a soft caramel and hand dip them in chocolate covertures. All the presented chocolate pieces were required to be identical." An Italian butter cream for a mousse cake was infused with minte and white rum. Wanita's practices prior to the competition involved a great deal of activity to insure consistency of products and correct timing.

Report on the Legislature Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River - Wainwright Redford government clarifies law to help bare land condo owners, amends other Acts

Legislation governing condominiums has been passed to help protect bare land condo owners from large assessments to repair and maintain managed property. A recent Court of Queen’s Bench decision determined that the current Condominium Property Act does not give bare land condominium corporations the authority to collect fees or use reserve funds for expenses related to repairing and maintaining managed property. As a result, corporations may have to finance expenses for managed property, potentially exposing unit owners to large special assessments to cover the costs. Bill 24, the Statutes Amendment Act, clarifies the Condominium Property Act to allow bare land condominium corporations to collect fees and use their reserve funds to maintain, repair and replace managed property if their bylaws allow it. The change impacts approximately 1,300 corporations with 40,000 owners. Service Alberta is currently compiling and analyzing the input of more than 5,000 Albertans who participated in the broader review of the Condominium Property Act. Additional improvements will be made to the Act to enhance protection for home buyers and improve standards in the condominium industry. Other amendments in Bill 24 include changes to the Surveys Act providing greater options for recruitment for the Director of Surveys and allow key survey work in townships or parcel subdivisions to continue. Amendments to the Emblems of Alberta Act designate the provincial shield of Alberta as an official emblem so members of the public can use it without restriction or permission. This would be consistent with practice across Canada. In addition, minor language adjustments to the Act are proposed for clarity and consistency. Additional information on the emblems of Alberta can be found at culture.alberta.ca/about/ emblems . The Perpetuities Act amendments found in Bill 24 assure private owners of miner-

als that they retain ownership of the resources they lease to others. Amendments will clarify that section 19(1) of the Perpetuities Act does not apply to mineral leases; thereby ensuring private owners of minerals retain control of their property. Government ensures stability for Alberta students Alberta is ensuring that families will continue to enjoy stability in the province’s classrooms by introducing legislation that will extend the four-year deal negotiated with the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) to all the province’s teachers and school boards. To date, the majority of boards and ATA locals – representing almost half a million Alberta students – have agreed to adopt the deal, which freezes teacher salaries for three years and ensures boards can devote as much funding as possible to Alberta’s classrooms. Education Minister Jeff Johnson has signalled his intent to introduce Bill 26, the Assurance for Students Act. If passed, the bill will ensure that the remaining boards and two ATA locals benefit from the negotiated agreement their colleagues from across the province already adopted. After over two and a half years of negotiation, an agreement between the government and the ATA was reached on March 15, 2013. Boards and ATA locals have spent the last two months ratifying this agreement at the local level. The four-year deal reached by government and the ATA would see compensation for 40,000 Alberta teachers frozen for three years – one of which has already passed since the end of the previous agreement. That will be followed by an increase of two per cent in 2015-16 and a one-time lump sum payment – to be funded by government – in that same year. A commitment to review teachers’ workload is another central element of the agreement. The Framework Agreement requires any school board without an “hours of instruction” restriction in its collective agreement to take steps to bring the number of hours the board requires a teacher to instruct students closer to a provincially mandated number of 907 hours per school year.

Camp prepares for another season Cherilyn Sharkey, public relations manager, CAFCL

Another year of friendship, learning, and fun awaits those who attend Camrose Association for Community Living’s Kandu Summer Camp! Kandu Camp is a non-profit camp for children and youth. We encourage all children to join in our adventures. From Tuesday, July 2, to Friday, August 23, Kandu promises to offer yet another exciting, rewarding summer for its participants. Starting each week with a new theme, every Thursday we will venture into a new field trip, and Friday we will explore new experiences. This year, new activities and day trips are being combined with successful classics. Trips include adventures to the Zoo, Edmonton Raceway, CTV, Ukrainian Village, Marine Life Programs, Water Parks, Beach Days, Northlands Horse Racing, and, of course, so much more. Camp runs every Tuesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This time will be filled every

day with exciting group activities and games that encourage campers to learn about themselves, and others, while developing their own self esteem, peer relations, independence, leadership, and environmental awareness. It is intended that campers acquire skills and talents that can promote healthy daily living and encourage a better quality of life. Our goal is to help your child/youth become a more confident and independent individual through the support and supervision of fully-trained and caring staff. Friendships and positive social connections made at Kandu camp will increase self-esteem and help build social skills that can be taken beyond camp. Our staff will provide a safe, caring and positive learning environment, all while your child is having a blast. Kandu is for children/youth between the ages of seven and 17 and runs from Tuesday, July 2. until Friday, August 23. every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Children/youth may be signed up weekly, monthly or daily. The registration deadline is Monday, June 24. Summer camp registrations will be accommodated on a first come first serve basis. Camp fills up fast so please register soon. For more information call (780) 672-0257 and ask for Elly or email at egraff@cafcl. org. Camrose Association for Community Living, founded over fifty years ago, endeavors to assist people to live and participate in the community.

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.

By Murray Green

The Battle River Community Foundation and Duggan Cinemas partnered in the Midnight Movie Marathon to raise about $2,767 to assist community organizations. The funds were raised by the 25 participants in the Movie Marathon and the 134 people who sponsored them to watch five movies over night from March 23 to 24. Movie marathon participants received pledges from friends, family and businesses to assist the Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF). "I'm pleased that we were able to get more people involved and that we created more awareness this year," said Karin Naslund, BRCF director. "We see this as a great way to have the entire community involved, especially younger people who like watching movies." The BRCF supports and donates to many charities and projects in Camrose and the surrounding area. "Our move to a March date encouraged more high school and university students to get involved," said Karin. "They enjoyed the fun evening. Our goal is to get even more people involved next year to raise more funds for important community projects. We would like to start promoting the event earlier next year." The Midnight Movie Marathon promotion was started in Camrose as an opportunity for Magic Lantern Theatres to give something back to the community. "We selected the BRCF organization because it helps a variety of groups in the area," said Shelly Kucway, manager of Duggan Cinemas in Camrose. The theatre supplied the films, prizes, sandwiches and drinks, so all of the pledges that came in went directly to charity through the Battle River Community Foundation.

Camrose County thanks all those who respond to this position but only those who are selected for an interview will be contacted. This position falls under the Collective Agreement between the International Union of Operating Engineers Local No. 955 and Camrose County.

Mucz up for two writing awards By Murray Green

Camrose author and University of Alberta, Augustana Campus professor Michael Mucz has been nominated for two awards by the Writers’ Guild of Alberta and the Book Publishers Association of Alberta. A celebration of the highest standards of literary excellence from Alberta writers and publishers will be held on May 25 at 6 p.m. at the Delta Edmonton Centre Suite Hotel (10222-102 Street). The winners of the literary and publishing awards gala coincides with the Words in 3 Dimensions literary conference. Many short-listed authors and publishers from across Alberta will be in attendance. The event will be hosted by Todd Babiak and will include a special keynote address by CBC Radio’s Shelagh Rogers. In addition to the awards presentations, delectable cuisine, and socializing, the Edmonton Public Library will also present the recipient of the fourth annual Alberta Readers’ Choice Award, a $10,000 prize. Michael is one of three finalists in the Scholarly and Academic Book Award. He was nominated for his book published by University of Alberta Press (Edmonton) entitled Baba’s Kitchen Medicines: Folk Remedies of Ukrainian Settlers in Western Canada. He is up against The Reindeer Botanist: Alf Erling Porsild, 1901–1977 by Wendy Dathan and Brush Education (Edmonton)—Educating for Creativity: A Global Conversation by Robert Kelly. Michael is one of four finalists in the Trade Nonfiction Book Award category for the same project. Wakeful Nights – Stephan G. Stephansson: Icelandic-Canadian Poet by Viðar Hreinsson, Follow the Money by Kevin Taft with Mel McMillan and Junaid Jahangir, and Those Who Know: Profiles of Alberta’s Aboriginal Elders by Dianne Meili were also nominated along with Baba’s Kitchen Medicines: Folk Remedies of Ukrainian Settlers in Western Canada.

NOT ALL

Advertising IS CREATED EQUAL

As a business owner, you have an incredible number of ways to catch the eye, ears and even tastes of past, present and future customers and prospects. Advertising is so necessary, but so misunderstood. Vast amounts of money are invested in websites, signage, telephone directories, radio and television in hopes of building business,

CONSIDER THE MATH: Today, we will print and deliver 13,478 copies of the edition you are currently holding. In the next few days, The Camrose Booster will be opened and read in 11,038 homes. Research shows that an average of 2.5 people per household will browse our pages.

In a small community such as Camrose, a community newspaper continues to be the primary way for consumers to obtain information about local events and local people.

That means every week, 27,596 individuals will see and read news stories and advertisements which catch their eye.

Independent data reveals 81.9 percent of all recipients regularly read or look through The Camrose Booster.

The power of print and the power of a message in The Camrose Booster is, quite frankly, staggering. It’s no wonder

that so many astute businesspeople count on The Camrose Booster with the bulk of their advertising dollars. If you are beginning to wonder if, in this technological era, a printed phone directory still remains as popular as it once was, or if you’re concerned about how fragmented radio and television has become, or if you are simply wondering how to get more bang for your advertising buck, give us a call for a no-nonsense, no-obligation discussion on a rebalanced marketing plan.

We’re here to help boost your business!
