On Thursday, May 24, the Camrose Golf Course will be a place where skilled golfers and individuals who rarely play the game will converge for a day of good-natured fun and fellowship. The goal of a great score might well give way to thoughts of “please… just let it be respectable!”

The CAMROSE BOOSTER May 22, 2012
NEW Organic Product for 2012 I re-potted the plants into two large red pots. I put four tomato plants into each pot, one containing my regular potting mix and fertilizer. To the second pot I added two oneounce scoops of Iron Earth (as directed on the Iron Earth package). I mixed the Iron Earth into the soil, trying to get Iron Earth as close as possible to the roots of the four tomato plants. In just four weeks there was a vast difference between the plants. It is commonly known the soil everywhere is missing minerals. But now there’s a new organic product that solves this BIG problem, and produces BIGGER results! Story by: Dianne, greenhouse owner If you’re like me, I love to grow things, colourful plants and fresh vegetables. I love gardening so much that I own and operate a greenhouse in southern Saskatchewan. Thanks to a friend, I recently discovered an amazing new product called Iron Earth. Iron Earth is highly compressed, natural,
organic, mineral-shale. These rich plant remains will give your soil a concentrated source of naturally occurring nutrients. Adding Iron Earth to your garden soil and planter pots provides necessary nutrients for excellent soil conditions and optimal plant growth. A group of growing experts sought out a raw soil enhancement material that has all
“You can see the difference. Iron Earth is phenomenal!”
the ideal elements for optimal plant growth. Their research led them to review and test a range of samples from various locations and they unanimously selected the product known today as Iron Earth. Iron Earth’s Distribution Manager, Murray Cheesman, states, “This team is amazed at the results Iron Earth brings to all vegetable plants, flowers, lawns, trees and more.” In our greenhouse we had plenty of access to manure and fertilizers we regularly added to our plants. I believe these worked because they each had some nutrients. It makes sense to me, if you were to add more nutrients to the soil and to the plant — the plants would thrive. I never expected the results to occur so fast and so well. The difference I saw with Iron Earth was truly remarkable! My first test was with tomato plants. Here’s what I did. My tomato plant test: I started with eight small, equal-sized tomato plants.
This photo shows a side-by-side comparison of the tomato plants I tested and clearly the Iron Earth helped the potted plants shown on the right. It’s good to know a product like Iron Earth exists today. It’s clear to see how lots of minerals can positively impact the growth of a plant. When it comes to my family’s health I want them to have access to nutrient-rich foods. I know with Iron Earth in my garden soil they will get better, tastier, healthier food. Please visit www.IronEarth.com to learn more. Purchase a bag of Iron Earth today and do a side-by-side test on your own plants.

Council approves CPAC agreements By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Performing Arts Centre is finally ready to proceed. Camrose City council paved the way for the arts centre's construction May 14 by voting 6 to 3 to approve the collaborative facility, construction access and project management agreements. Mayor Marshall Chalmers said he was satisfied that City council and administration, through numerous meetings, discussions, revisions and legal opinions, has done due diligence in preparing the agreements. "I am of the opinion that it is time to move this project forward and allow the appropriate governing body to get formed and do its work." Councillor Daryl Shillington said council has spent thousands of hours with administration and its partners hammering out the agreements, and has exercised caution to ensure protection of its financial resources. "Several years of community dialogue, two elections, studies and community planning documents have given us the go-ahead or the confidence we should be proceeding with this particular capital project." "I think it would be unrealistic to put this thing off any longer." Shillington said the CPAC will, or could benefit most of the residents in the city, act as an economic development tool, fit the City's goals of attracting residents, businesses, doctors and professionals, nurture creativity and build spirit. "Is the timing right? I think it is. Our partnerships are in place, our funding is in place, the interest borrowing rates are the lowest in history. We're experiencing an upswing in the Alberta economy, so the future looks bright for the growth of our community. Our debt levels are very solid." Councillor Gerry Galenza said the benefits of going ahead

with the arts centre outweigh the risks. "Yes there will be risks, but we have some great trust and respect and cooperation from our partners, and I think it will all work out." Galenza said the new growth and assessment the new facility generates will help to offset some of the worries about whether or not it is affordable. "I think it will be a great thing. I was at a convention last fall where people from Rosebud and Airdrie talked about how arts and culture is becoming the biggest industry in Canada. We better get on board and start looking at these things and be part of it. We don't want to miss out." Councillor Ray McIsaac said he is comfortable with the part-
nerships the City has with the University of Alberta and Camrose County. He added the time has come to look at needs of the arts community. "I think we have the sports side of it covered in Camrose with the multi-purpose facility. It is a real gem in our city." McIsaac feels the arts centre will go a long way towards getting Augustana to 2,000 students in the not too distant future. Councillor Greg Wood said the City of Camrose has been able to get a lot of much needed information since it made the unanimous decision to go ahead with the performing arts centre a year ago. "The thing that has changed for me since that date, I guess, is our relationship with the univer-
sity. I think back in June (2011) we hadn't worked extensively with them. There was a black hole in terms of what they were going to bring to the table, and certainly in the last 11 months we have seen nothing but professionalism and a great effort to make this project work. I think that at the end of the day that relationship will get us through some of the challenges we still face." Wood compared the work that has gone into the performing arts centre agreements to training for a marathon. "I think we have trained for a marathon to this point, but I think we are just about to start (the race). I think there will be some long hours and it will be a little messy the first few years as we get this up and running,
and I have no expectation it will be otherwise, but I do put a lot of faith in the relationships we have and the great people at our end and the U of A end to see through that and make this a successful venture." Councillor Earle Berry said the performing arts centre could benefit Camrose and Augustana in a way similar to the arts centre at Red Deer College. "When it was built they (Red Deer College) found their enrolment virtually doubled. I look at Augustana and Camrose and see the benefit of something like that here attracting maybe 500, maybe 1,000 more students over the period of the next little while. That, to me, is one of the biggest industries we could perceive for this community."
Councillors Howard, Blatz, Lindstrand see need for information By Dan Jensen
City councillors Max Lindstrand, John Howard and Brandon Blatz agree with the need for a performing arts centre in Camrose. They feel, however, there is still more information that needs to be obtained. Councillor Lindstrand expressed concern May 14 over whether it is appropriate and legal for the City to use a provincial grant and borrow money for a facility that the City will not own. "At the very best we could claim joint control. I am not comfortable voting in favour of these motions until we have some assurance that the agreements that we are about to enter into will pass the acid test when it comes to the provincial government. I think it is not appropriate for us to use these grants unless it is in a manner that is acceptable to the province." Lindstrand said council would be able to better justify to the public a decision to borrow money for the project if it had joint ownership of the facility.
This is more of a leap than I'm prepared to make" – Councillor Brandon Blatz "I have never gotten a response as to why there couldn't be some kind of joint ownership." Camrose community services general manager Paul Nielsen said the top administrator of the provincial grant program has seen all the documents, and is happy that all the grant criteria are being met. City manager Damian Herle explained personal liability of councillors is not an issue as long as council spends the funds it receives for the intended or original purpose. "If council were to make a decision to spend the borrowed funds for CPAC for any other project, if you voted to spend it on something else, that is where personal liability becomes an issue. As long as the funds are spent for what the project is for, the Municipal Government Act provides protection to councillors in regard to personal liability." Councillor Blatz said it is not responsible of the City to proceed
on a project containing agreements filled with blank cheques and question marks to be dealt with at some future point. "I realize and acknowledge that this, and frankly, most any capital project requires a leap of faith, but this is more of a leap than I'm prepared to make based on these agreements." Blatz said the project's agreements largely disregard every single principle council agreed to when it voted last June 27 to move forward with the Camrose Performing Arts Centre. "This was circumvented by repealing the motion after being presented with a new set of principles and direction from City administration, even in the absence of explicit council direction to do so prior to their presentation for approval." Blatz said one of his primary areas of concern are the actual ongoing yearly operational costs, which council has not spent much time discussing.
"If one looks at the projected budget from Schick (Schick, Shiner and Associates Report of 2010) for the first year, total administrative and maintenance costs would be in the neighbourhood of $600,000. This would be offset by the $100,000 maintenance contribution of the University. This leaves $500,000 per year in operating costs, which ultimately have to be funded from somewhere. Undoubtedly, the building will be utilized and revenue will be generated, so $500,000 would be a worstcase scenario in my mind. The question, however, becomes how realistic the Schick reports' expenditures and revenue projections really are, also taking into account the fact that they are 2010 figures. Furthermore, we have not yet followed some of Schick's primary suggestions, including the collaboration with the Bailey Theatre on the possibility of shared services and staff."
Blatz underscored the fact that the not-for-profit society and the board of governors that will be responsible for the day to day operations of the facility have yet to be established. "In my opinion we are in a position of putting the cart before the horse and it would be less than prudent to potential users of the facility and the community at large simply to push this project through without at least reviewing some of these issues." Blatz said if the not-forprofit is fronting the costs to bring in high-quality programming and experiences one or more failures on major events, it will require a further cash injection from the City, or will have to shut down for the year, which would result in a facility with very limited value to the community. "The programming aspect and the ongoing operational costs, over and above maintenance and the cost of the capital facility itself, have not been examined with due diligence in my opinion."

Councillors express reservations Continued from page 4
Blatz said signing blank cheques that will fiscally bind future councils and the residents of Camrose for the next 25 years, without the requisite knowledge and proper due diligence on all aspects, has community-wide ramifications too serious to discount. Councillor Howard said City council has yet to see a draft of the articles of incorporation for the not-for-profit that would be responsible for the operations of the centre, or a draft of the theatre operating agreement (it would give direction to the notfor-profit), which outlines the specific manner and details for how the theatre is to be operated, and more particularly, how it is to fund the operating costs of the Camrose Performing Arts Centre. He added that what was deemed essential by council on June 27 last year, when it endorsed the construction of the Camrose Performing Arts Centre on the property of the University of Alberta Augustana Campus (subject to contributions from Camrose County, the U of A and Province of Alberta, the launch of a fundraising campaign, the establishment of a governing board and finalization of an operating agreement, the City's involvement in the tendering process, and accessibility to the facility by the Camrose arts community), were no longer deemed essential when council passed a re-stated Memorandum of Understanding in January of this year. "Thus we opened a blank cheque book." Howard reminded council of the 2010 Schick report comments
that the CPAC would most likely experience an operating loss in the range of $350,000 in the early years, and that in order to achieve a level of operating success in financial terms, community users like dance academies, music festivals and music groups would need to be charged a $500 set-up fee and a $700 rental fee per event night. "This is in keeping with the agreement we are asked to commit to tonight which clearly instructs that user pricing with respect to CPAC shall reflect the intent that CPAC be reasonably accessible to all various groups, and, as such, operated on a cost recovery basis. Many have suggested that since this is a community theatre, it would be free to community groups. Even at the rates suggested in 2010 dollars, the CPAC is projected to experience an operating loss while the agreement calls for operating at cost recovery – a blank cheque we are asked to sign. I fear the cost of rental for
even a one night event at $1,200 may limit community access, or if it is made available to the community at a reduced rate, will of necessity only increase the size of the blank cheque." Howard said tax dollars in the amount of $12,750 are being committed to the project with no guarantees of the success of the fundraising campaign, and that the ability to collect any overspending of the $18 million total project cost is directly related to the level of success of the fundraising. Howard said there is no bottom line for CPAC so the question of what the City can afford to do is not answered. He said council cannot afford to commit future taxpayers and future tax funded projects to uncertainty. "I am not convinced we can afford to sign blank cheques. If these concerns could be addressed more fully, and bottom lines more clearly established, I would love to be persuaded."

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler
Power lies in commitment I was pleased with the news that Camrose will have a performing arts centre, hopefully by Christmas 2013. City councillors and the mayor, at a regular council meeting on May 16, voted 6-3 in favour of proceeding with construction. A groundbreaking ceremony will be held soon. I hasten to add my deep appreciation to the three councillors who opposed the motion: Max Lindstrand, John Howard and Brandon Blatz. I commend them for their sincere, wise and thoughtful contribution throughout the long and serious discussion phase. They raised points that were my concerns, too. They were not opposed to having a performing arts centre but were reluctant to commit taxpayers, present and future, to an expenditure of which the precise amount is not known at this time. The questions they posed were sure to have precipitated deeper deliberation on the part of all parties involved: municipal administrators, mayor and other councillors, University of Alberta and Camrose County. The top administrator of the provincial grant program has assured that all the documents have been examined and meet the grant criteria. While astute business judgment dictates that all agreements be in detail and in writing, it is also shrewd to have some flexibility in contracts, enough to allow adjustments that are invariably required to handle unanticipated unknowns. At some point, after diligent deliberation, comes a time to make a decision. The six who voted in favour of proceeding with the construction of the long-awaited performing arts centre have reason to decide to proceed now. Interest rates are probably as low as they can get; in the last two civic elections, the community has expressed a desire for such a venue; the pros and cons have been carefully considered and widely discussed, and the potential benefits – social, cultural and economic – are believed to outweigh the risks, and there are some. It is believed, however, that the revival of the Bailey Theatre downtown, complemented by the performing arts centre on the Augustana Campus, will boost economic activity downtown and increase enrollment at Augustana. Over a period of time, it is feasible to believe that Camrose could become the ‘Stratford’ of Alberta, making it an indisputable tourist destination with multiple benefits. In conclusion, I extend kudos to all members of our municipal council regardless of how they voted. I am comfortable doing this because I believe thoughtful debate precipitates thorough study with better decisions and outcomes. Finally, I address all you folks who said you wanted a performing arts centre: it’s pledge time now to make it really happen; like all wants, it comes with a price tag but the enhancements to our community will be worth it. When confronted with a large project, I love to quote anthropologist Margaret Mead who said, “Never doubt the power of a few thoughtful, committed people to change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” The power lies in the commitment.
Lesson not learned As a member of the community of mental health professionals in Camrose, I am deeply distressed by the recent murder of another residential support worker in the line of duty. It is appalling that, seemingly, lessons were not learned from the equally tragic death of Valerie Wolski. Our Police Inspector has been quoted as saying this situation is very different than the first. I believe that the similarities are much more significant than any differences. A female staff member, working alone in a residential setting with high risk individuals, is dead. The government and the governing department, along with the agencies involved in providing the necessary support to very troubled individuals, have failed to make adequate provisions for the safety of its staff members. There is an obvious lack of adequate funding for double-staffing in high risk environments, a lack of adequate safety policies in place and/or ensuring that these policies are properly enforced. I have to also question why the investigation into the first murder of over a year ago has yet to be completed or made public, and most importantly, did not result in changes being made which could have prevented the death of another person working alone in a vulnerable situation. What a dark blight on the Camrose community that such a horrific incident has happened a second time! Will it take a third life to finally make changes in how much we value, both financially and morally, the safety of our mental health caregivers? Lucille Pfeifer Camrose Sorenson’s hidden agenda to slash protection for the environment This week MP Kevin Sorenson voted in favour of a 400 page budget bill that amends over 70 different acts and devotes an astonishing 150 pages to weakening laws to protect our environment. The Conservatives claim that this “streamlining” of environmental legislation is so important that it has to be passed right away. So why didn’t we hear about it until now? Why didn’t they campaign on it in the last election? And why are the Conserva-
tives ramming all these changes through Parliament and refusing to break up the mammoth bill so that all its parts can be properly studied? The Conservatives are trying to avoid public scrutiny by cramming major environmental changes into a sweeping “kitchen sink” bill. They want to eliminate federal environmental assessments for all but a few projects and do less comprehensive reviews where they still occur. They want to eliminate protection for fish habitat, despite the fact that you don’t have fish without a habitat! All of this comes on top of announcements of 900 positions to be cut at Environment Canada. Mr. Sorenson and the Conservatives didn’t campaign on gutting environmental regulations, yet they are trying to pass them under the radar. Mr. Sorenson needs to come clean to his constituents about his hidden agenda of environmental destruction. Kirsty Duncan, MP, Liberal Critic for the Environment Where are your sympathies? Where do your sympathies lie ? With the Camrose pipe plant workers locked out since May 3 or the Russian multinational company, Evraz, attempting to extract more concessions? I've noticed key points missing in recent media coverage and the ad paid by Evraz CEO, so I decided to speak directly to workers. The key concerns are the company's attempts to weaken pension plans/retiree benefits for new hires and settlement discrepancies between what's offered here and what was just recently signed at sister plants in Regina and Calgary. The contracts settled here included raising defined benefit pensions so that retirees would receive a base $64.75 multiplied by years of service/ month/person and workers would receive a 7.9 per cent wage increase over three years. No mention of changing pensions or retiree benefits for new hires was made in those negotiations. Yet the offer Evraz locked out Camrose workers over includes only a $45 base (using above formula) pension package, a 4.5 per cent wage increase over four years, and changing to defined contribution pensions with no retiree benefits for new hires. Also, Evraz insists new hires don't start a pension plan until they've worked two years. Since management demands new hires take 80 per cent of current wage for first four months, then 90 per cent in the next eight months, perhaps new workers can't afford to build a pension. What's the difference? For one, defined pensions, protected by federal legislation, must be paid out regardless of company bankruptcy, a defined
contribution plan is not guaranteed, so even if new hires built a plan, then at retirement the company couldn't or wouldn't pay out, those workers would only receive their own contributed money. Why do such hard-nosed bargaining? Evraz last year projected no profits, yet at the end of 2011 their profit was $9 million from Camrose. That is thanks largely due to the experienced and diligent Camrose workforce, who gave concessions during the recession. In their 2008 contract, workers agreed to no wage increase for three years. They only received cost-of-living allowance once a year and they gave into those above-mentioned reduced new hire wage concessions. Evraz response to workers' generosity was to extend a new 'wellness' program by buying daily, for each worker in the plants, 75 cents worth of fruit. The workers I spoke with did the math for the Camrose plant and it comes to $38,000 spent on fruit. They say they'd rather see the money go to pensions or a health plan, or wages, and they'll buy their own fruit. Perhaps Evraz owner Roman Abramovich is worried about his finances. In 2007, Abramovich was listed by Forbes as the 16th richest man, with $18.7 billion net worth. In 2011 he slipped to 68th, with only $12.1 billion. A community that stands together stays together. Workers are thankful for the awesome local support received through picket line visits, and donations of food. Keep it coming. Camrose workers keep standing firm, together. Ellen Parker, Camrose Kudos for performance A young friend of mine invited me to come and watch her in her school play, The Wiz, at Ecole Sifton School. Even though that was almost three weeks ago, I haven't been able to get the wonderful evening of musical theatre out of my mind. It was such a treat to watch 33 young performers (ages 9 to 12) tell this updated story of Dorothy, the Tinman, the Lion and the Scarecrow. It was obvious the cast had worked countless hours to memorize their lines, learn the music and practice new choreography. The show and the kids were amazing! I have to admit though, that what I loved most about the play, were all the imperfections! I loved the fact that some lines were forgotten and dance steps missed. It didn’t matter if someone missed their cue or if all the notes in the musical numbers weren’t flawless. (I especially loved it when the kids were backstage and forgot that their mics were still on!) The imperfections were what made the play so perfect! Continued on page 16

Letters Continued from page 8
So many activities that kids are involved in today – from hockey to dance – are too often about “winning,” being “better than” other groups or participants. Competition certainly has
its place, but it can also create an intimidating gap, at an early age, between those with more developed skills and those who just want to “be in the game.” In The Wiz, everyone was a star! No matter what part they played or how much experience they had, each child was given the life-building opportunity to be in the cast and be on stage. Just like the characters
in the play, these young actors displayed real heart and courage and intelligence. The character of Dorothy discovers that deep inside she had the secret to finding her way home all along. It was evident that the Director of The Wiz, and all her many talented and dedicated assistants, believed that every child also holds the secret to “finding their wa.y” They understood that when
given loving encouragement and a safe place to try new ideas, the kids were able to find and develop/improve their ability to sing, dance and perform. They weren’t pushing the kids to win; they just wanted them to try, to see what they could learn from the experience – and to have fun in the process! It was a privilege for those of us in the audience to watch these young performers do
their very best and to see them work so well together to put on such a delightfully imperfect and highly entertaining show! Kudos to everyone involved! Thanks again for the invitation, Molly; I’m so glad I got to see The Wiz. I’m already looking forward to next year’s production! Deborah Morgan Camrose

AUPE demands caregiver murder investigation By Murray Green
Dianne McClements, a 61-year-old Camrose caregiver was allegedly killed by a teenage youth in a group home where she worked on Saturday, May 12. McClements, was killed at a supported independent living duplex at 6703 Marler Drive. The facility is run by Camrose Community Connections and is under contract to the province to care for four teens. A 17-year-old male youth, who lived at the same address, has been charged with second-degree murder and theft of a vehicle. The
youth was arrested in Vermilion with the victim's vehicle. Outrage
Comments by Alberta Occupational Health and Safety suggesting the murder of a Camrose caregiver may not be investigated by the province drew outrage from AUPE (Alberta Union of Provincial Employees) president Guy Smith. “When a worker is killed on the job, Alberta Occupational Health and Safety should automatically conduct an investigation,” said Mr. Smith. “I am completely shocked that the province
is suggesting this is an optional procedure. The job of the police will focus on criminal culpability, which is completely different than investigating the safety of a workplace.” Mr. Smith was responding to comments made by an Alberta Occupational Health and Safety spokesman in a news report. He wasn't happy with the province's do nothing attitude. “The only way to ensure this caregiver’s death was not in vain is to investigate what happened to prevent another tragedy in the future,” Mr. Smith said. “I can’t believe the province would even suggest that it not be done.”
AUPE Alberta Occupational Health and Safety representative Dennis Malayko supported Mr. Smith's take on the news. “Wherever there’s a death, an Alberta Occupational Health and Safety investigation should follow automatically, and the report should be made public. Making the investigations public isn’t just important to hold employers to account, but to empower employees to know when they are being put into an unsafe work situation,” said Mr. Malayko. He suggested that arresting the murderer won’t explain all
of the details. A public document will expose little details such as if the victim had access to an emergency contact information, if she was working alone in an unsafe setting, or if the client was incorrectly placed with the agency she worked for. The youth, who can't be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is in custody and will appear in youth court at the Camrose Provincial Courthouse on June 7. The province has since changed its stance and will be investigating the death further.

Olympic gold medalist Botterill coming to Camrose
One of Canada’s most successful athletes is coming to Camrose. Olympic gold medalist Jennifer Botterill will be participating in two exciting community events on Saturday, June 9. First, Jennifer will be leading a special mentorship event for local female hockey players on Saturday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., sponsored by Magnetsigns Advertising and Boston Pizza. This is a chance for local players to pick up a few tips from one of Canada’s top female players. Jennifer will lead some fun-filled activities and then sit down to chat over lunch provided by Boston Pizza. Later, Jennifer will be the keynote speaker for an inspirational evening entitled The Winning Secret, Building a Vision for Success, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the chapel at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta. “I’m really looking forward to sharing some of what I have learned over the years through these two great events in Camrose,” said Ms. Botterill. The Saturday evening event will also feature global business leader Ray Titus, the CEO and founder of United Franchise Group, and Colin and Julie Angus, 2007 National Geographic Adventurers of the Year. “Magnetsigns is pleased to give the community the opportunity to discover some of the
secrets which have helped these amazing people achieve extraordinary results,” said Magnetsigns president Stuart Erskine. The Winning Secret, Building a Vision for Success is the showcase event for the 2012 Magnetsigns conference, which is being held at the Camrose Resort Casino June 8 to 10. Camrose is headquarters for Magnetsigns, which has more than 130 franchises across Canada and the United States. “We are very proud of our Camrose roots, but this is the first time we have hosted our annual conference in Camrose,” explained Mr. Erskine. “This is a great opportunity for us to show off our beautiful community and our head office operation.” As part of The Winning Secret, Building a Vision for Success, Magnetsigns will be hosting a charity auction with all proceeds going to the Camrose Open Door Society. Up for grabs will be two Jennifer Botterill autographed Team Canada jerseys, two Camrose Kodiaks season tickets, and a Camrose Kodiaks jersey. Plus, everyone attending The Winning Secret will receive an autograph from Jennifer.

Gainsworth advances to high school track zones By Murray Green
Camrose Composite High School athlete Kami Gainsworth is enjoying her favourite part of the school year. The speedy Grade 11 track and field athlete has set her goal at reaching provincials. Kami entered the 100 metre race, long jump, triple jump, hurdles and relay events at the area track meet at CCHS on May 16. In her first two events, she won the long jump and placed second in the 100m to secure a spot in the zone competition, also held at CCHS, on May 23. "Last year I received the aggregate title in area competition, but didn't win anything at zones," said Kami. "My goal is to do well at zones this year in order to go to provincials. Long jump and triple jump are my best events and I really want to make it in at least one of the events." Kami has more fun in the jumping events. "It's more fun for me to really push myself in those events. I try hard, but don't beat myself up over not always winning. I really like track and field because the onus is on me," explained Kami. "I don't have to depend on teammates to do well.
It comes down to how much I want it." Kami has noticed the difference between juniors and competing as an intermediate. "Juniors is the first year and you get used to the events and course. In intermediate, the competition is tougher and then the last year you really want to win because it is the last year," said Kami. "This year I want to reach provincials and next year I want to improve on that." Before Kami reached high school she competed in the Edmonton Journal Indoor Games, the Alberta Summer Games and belonged to the Leduc Track Club. "I don't belong to the track anymore because I wanted to compete more for fun and do well at meets like this, with less travel. I learned a lot at the club, but I also wanted to make it more fun for me. I have fun coaching athletes at Jack Stuart School before school and I helped them prepare for the Journal Games (held in March). They made it to the second day. The boys were close by placing 22 and the top 20 advanced to the next round. I love track and I will find a way to be
part of it whether that is competing, coaching or helping." Although the events Kami competes in are different, there is one common theme. "It's hard to prepare for sprints and when you start in blocks it can be a mind game. I like to use my speed in every event and fly. My speed makes me a better long jumper and triple jumper. You have to know where you are taking your steps, but I can use my speed to record further distances." Kami feels like she was born to run and wants to keep up with the sport in some way in college. "Grant MacEwan students would give us massages when I was with the track club. I thought, I want to be that person. That is something that would be good to do in the future. I want to take massage therapy and that way I can help other athletes." She would also consider cross-country running if field events are not in the future. "I have changed my approach from being in a competition mode all of the time, to thinking of it as fun. I think everyone should be in it for the fun of it. Today it is so nice out, I want to enjoy the track and the weather."
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Composite High School runners Jenna Rust, left, and Anna Eriksson both won the 1,500 metre event at the area track and field meet held at CCHS on May 16. Rust won the intermediate division and Eriksson won the senior girls' category. The divisions were run together to provide more competition for the runners.

Mayor leads fifth annual walk/run By Murray Green
Mayor Marshall Chalmers led the charge during the Fifth Annual June Johns Memorial Mayor’s Walk/Run around Mirror Lake on Sunday, May 6. "We raised a total of $7,982.55 for the Camrose Boys and Girls Club," said executive director Rees James. "We had three agencies enter our Community Youth Builder Challenge (Camrose and District Support Services, Camrose Open Door and our own Keystone Program). Keystone (ages 13 to 17) won the challenge raising $1,675.30 with Camrose Open Door in second with $500," The top four Kid Way members (ages 6 to 12) were Markus Kendall-Duckworth in fourth place with $200, Nikki Kontek in third with $251, Rory Wutzke in second with $305 and in first was Shayne Marshall with $3035.25. Markus won three West Edmonton Mall tickets, Nikki won a bike, Rory won a bike and an iPod touch and Shayne Marshall won four WEM tickets, a bike and an iPad. "We had a second iPod draw, for every $100 in pledges raised, the person would get his or her name entered into the draw and Rory was lucky enough to also win that," said Rees. Sherry and Nolan Marshall (parents of Shayne) helped him raise the $3,035 this year and last year the trio raised $1,500.

Council passes 2012 tax rate bylaw By Dan Jensen
The majority of Camrose residential property owners will be paying approximately 3.62 per cent more in taxes for municipal purposes in 2012. A tax bylaw passed by City council May 14 sets a rate of 10.304 mills for residential properties and 16.0469 mills for nonresidential properties. The tax rates are 5.4068 for annexed residential, 10.0304 for farmland and annexed farmland, and 16.0469 for annexed non-residential. Tax rates are calculated by taking the total tax levy and dividing that number by the total assessment. Sample home
City assessor Travis Lantz used one example to show council that a property owner whose home has an assessed value of $265,000 would pay $1,974 in taxes for municipal purposes and $684 in taxes for educational purposes, for a total of $2,658. "This individual's municipal property levy will increase by
$69, or 3.9 per cent. The education levy will go up $53, which translates to 8.4 per cent, so this individual's property tax bill increases $122 or 4.8 per cent because of a blended total. Individual tax amounts for our citizens may increase, decrease or remain unchanged due to the increase in the municipal levy, the change in their assessments, increase in the provincial education levy and real growth to the properties. Tax levy increase
The 2012-14 operating budget passed by City council last December included a tax levy of $20,025,632. "This total was based on the 2011 budgeted municipal tax levy of $18,882,500 plus an estimated growth of $208,000, and represented a municipal tax increase of 3.92 per cent," said City financial services general manager Diane Urkow. "Slightly higher growth in 2012 has been incorporated in the proposed 2012 tax rates and reduces the municipal tax increase to 3.62 per cent."
Education taxes
The budget did not include the estimated changes in the education requisitions from the province. "As a result of the 2012 provincial budget there is an increase in the 2012 requisition from $5,805,987 to $6,438,118," said Urkow. "The overall education requirement experienced an increase of 10.9 per cent, or $632,131." The education requisition increased the total tax levy to 4.8 per cent. "From residential property owners we are going to collect, on behalf of the government, an extra $470,000, said City assessor Travis Lantz. "From nonresidential property owners we are required to collect an extra $160,000." The education tax rate is 2.5798 mills for residential properties and 3.4633 mills for non residential properties. Consider all the numbers
Lantz cautioned that a certain percentage increase in the
tax rate does not translate into the same increase in property taxes for an individual property owner. "You have to look at all the numbers and how they work together to give the citizens the full picture of how this is going to actually impact their bottom line, their tax bill at the end of the day." Lantz noted that the City conducts property assessments every year, and that every home changes in value based on where it is located and what the owner has done in the way of improvements. He added that a property which has seen real growth (construction, additions or renovations) will see a tax increase over and above the municipal increase and the provincial education increase. "The example is a new garage. If it was assessed at $20,000, that property owner would likely see about a $200 tax increase in addition to the municipal and provincial." Lantz said the City of Cam-
rose had real growth in 2011 of 2.6 per cent, or $46.2 million on the residential side, and two per cent, or $8.9 million on the non-residential side. In terms of residential, he said construction started, continued or was completed on 98 single family homes and 31 duplex units. In non-residential, growth consisted of five City industrial lot sales, one new commercial building (hotel and convention centre at Camrose Resort Casino), one new airport hangar, and partial construction of three new industrial warehouse buildings. Eighty-three per cent of the homes in Camrose will see an assessment that will be anywhere from two per cent lower to four per cent higher than last year. Six per cent will see an increase in assessment of between four and 10 per cent, while seven per cent will see a decrease between 10 per cent and two per cent. The City of Camrose began sending out tax notices at the end of last week.
Camrose Legion votes to sell building By Murray Green
The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion has cleared its first hurdle in selling the building on 48 Avenue. Alberta numbered company 622618 offered to purchase the land and building. It doesn't include the furniture, equipment or the cenotaph. Of the 65 members who voted on May 16 at the Legion, 63 voted in favour of the sale and only two were opposed. The proposed new owners are willing to house the Legion members for a year or until the branch finds a suitable home. Branch president Gord Minnes called a special meeting to hear the motion put forward to the members that "The Camrose branch # 57 accept the offer to purchase the building and land. The discussion for relocation will be determined later, pending the approval of the sale," said Mr. Minnes. "Even after the vote today, it still has to be approved by provincial command. There are no limitations on the purchase. We can stay another year until such time we decide where to move or what to do with our branch."
The proposed new owners are willing to house the Legion members for a year or until the branch finds a suitable home.
Mr. Minnes said the branch has a few options, but until the decision to sell is made, there is not much they can do. "Before we get into a debate there are a couple of things I want to point out," said past president Bill Hart. "We would have to do a lot of upgrades over the next few years. As you are probably aware,
some of the equipment is still original. The cooling system is not a recent purchase, we have old furnaces, the cooler-compressor will have to be replaced shortly, the glass washer is not doing a great job, and the roof is only good for another couple of years and then it has to have a major overhaul.
This is why we think this is a decent offer." Mr. Hart added that a couple of years ago they had an offer of $650,000 that fell through. "Since then we have found asbestos in the ceiling and in the walls. Cleaning the asbestos was estimated at $250,000 two years ago, but costs have gone up
since then. That would have to be cleaned out before we could do anything." The asbestos is currently not thought to be harmful in its present stage. However, once it is disturbed or stirred up, the building would have to be closed until the asbestos is removed. "It has come to a point where we must decide. I know it is nostalgic for members of this branch, but there comes a time where we have to move on. We are down to 268 members and this building is 16,000 square feet," explained Mr. Minnes. "We have to downsize to make it more comfortable for our members. I encourage you to think about that when you fill out the ballot." After the one-sided vote, Mr. Minnes thanked the members for having confidence that the executive will continue to make the decisions in the best interests of the entire branch. "It is not that easy to make decisions like this. The next step would be to carry on and present this to our lawyer and to provincial command," said Mr. Minnes. "Then I will be forming a steering committee to look at our options for the future."
A synopsis of the Performing Arts Centre agreements By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Performing Arts Centre collaborative facility, construction access and project management agreements were reviewed by City council, City legal counsel and City of Camrose legal providers. The collaborative facility agreement is an in-depth expansion of the re-stated memorandum of understanding in that it describes the functional, legal and financial relationship and responsibilities of the University of Alberta and the City. "The terms of the CFA lay the policy foundation for the
long-term operation of the facility that will be entrusted to a not-for-profit entity responsible for day to day operations," said Camrose community services general manager Paul Nielsen. "The CFA provides for longterm collaboration between the partners in the governance of CPAC and also addresses whatif scenarios should the partnership change for philosophical or financial reasons." The CFA ensures there will be accessible community-based programming for a minimum of 25 years, with a mechanism for extension of the relationship
should the partners wish to do so. "Local user groups and imported or sponsored professsional and amateur performers will be expected to pay their way in the form of affordable user fees to ensure the ongoing financial stability of the facility," said Nielsen. "Both UAlberta and City of Camrose will have access to a number of free events as long as those events are free and open to the public." Both the University of Alberta and the City of Camrose will fund the annual deficit to the operating body. "The City of Camrose car-
ries the majority of the projected annual operating deficit and all additional risk associated with any increase in the deficit over time," said Nielsen. The construction access agreement provides City access to university property for the construction of the CPAC. The project management agreement makes the University of Alberta responsible for management of project construction. A project manager from the U of A will oversee all aspects of the construction and dealings with the contractor. The project management agreement also establishes
that the University of Alberta cannot render any decision or process any change order that will cause the project to exceed the stated budget without the express consent of the City of Camrose. The total estimated cost of the performing arts centre is $18 million, half of which will be funded by City debenture ($8.25 million) and a University of Alberta cash contribution of $750,000. The City's municipal sustainability grant will provide $4.5 million, provincial grants will provide $3.5 million, and Camrose County will provide $1 million.

Patricia Peter and her cat, Monty By Dan Jensen
A cat belonging to Camrose residents Myron and Patricia Peter has been inducted into the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. The domestic short-haired feline, who goes by the name of Monty, received the red carpet treatment, including a medal, in a ceremony held at a Paws Way store in Toronto, May 7. Monty and the Peters were flown to Toronto, where they were lodged, at Purina’s expense, at the Westin Harbour Castle, in a room facing the water. They were treated to a dinner for all four of the 2012 hall of fame inductees and their owners May 5. “We were treated like royalty the entire time we were there,” said Patricia. “It was unreal the things they did for us.” Monty is Patricia’s own guardian angel, having alerted her no fewer than eight times to low blood sugar levels which, untreated, could have led to a diabetic coma or seizure. “He knows when my blood sugar is getting to a dangerous level and warns me by rubbing against me and biting the fingers that I use to monitor the levels,” said Peter. “He has saved my life on numerous occasions.” The first time it happened was in March, 2011, while Patricia, then a newly-diagnosed diabetic, was sleeping. She told Monty to go to sleep, but when he bit her finger again, she was forced to sit up and push him to the front of the bed. “I felt dizzy and thought that might have been because I sat up too fast,” she recalls. After treating herself for her low, Monty stayed with her until it was time for her to do her next test. “I laid down and tried to sleep but Monty would not let me,” said Patricia. “He kept walking on me, purring louder than normal.” Thinking it unusual that a cat would be able to save a human’s life, Patricia did some investigating and found that Purina was taking nominations for Pet Hall of Fame. She was told by Purina that, while it was too late to nominate Monty for the 2011 award, they would keep her information on file. In February of this year they told her that Monty had been chosen for 2012 induction. A few weeks later they sent a crew to the Peter home to capture video tape and conduct interviews. “I was shocked when they told me that they wanted to induct Monty,” said Patricia. “I never thought it would go as far as it did and was thrilled with the opportunity to tell others how much of a hero he really was.” The Purina Animal Hall of Fame is one of the longest running pet recognition programs in Canada, honouring 128 dogs, 26 cats and one horse over its 40-plus years. The 2012 inductees struck Purina with their intuitive sixth sense related to life-threatening medical conditions, as well as what Purina PetCare Legacy executive director Mary Siemiesz described as “an incredible persistence to act on that intuition.” Patricia said she plans to reward Monty for what he has done by serving a special bowl of cat food decorated with crunchies and special treats. She and Myron will also continue to keep an eye out for toys that Monty would like. “We always buy toys for Monty first,” said Patricia. “If he doesn’t like what we choose they are given to the other cats.” Patricia feels it was fate when she chose to bring Monty home from the Humane Society. “Myron tells me that Monty picked me, that I didn’t pick him,” she said. “Since we have had him he sits on my lap and is very attentive. He is truly my cat.”

Cruisers set for big weekend
Time to Grow!
By Murray Green
The Camrose Cruisers Car Show, 100-Footer and Cruise will be held on 51 Street and at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on May 25 to 27. The weekend begins with a fun run 100-footer event that will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on May 25, beginning at 6 p.m. Anyone may test how his or her 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 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration is from 9 to 11 a.m. "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 on 51st Street again this year. It will start at the Battle River Credit Union and go all the way down to the Catholic church." 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 26. About 200 vehicles will be cruising the city for about two hours. "The Lions Club will be accepting donations from drivers and spectators by the Alice Hotel to go towards helping fight diabetes," said Ken. 'Lions members will also help us by asking 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." Burt Reynolds will be providing the late entertainment. "We will have an old style drivein movie at the Max McLean Arena parking lot, beginning at dusk. We will be showing Smokey and the Bandit and all you need is an FM radio," said Ken. He asks motorists to shut off lights to provide a darker background for the movie. 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. Should it rain or snow, the rain-out date will be on July 21. The racing portion will not take place. Only the Saturday events will be held, except the autocross.

Band concert in park tonight

The Camrose and District Community Band will be wrapping up its year tonight. A concert will be held at Mirror Lake Park (48 Avenue and 55 Street), beginning at 7:30. The alternate date in case of inclement weather is May 29. The Camrose and District Community Band consists of 50 community members and University of Alberta Augustana Campus students. Augustana student Robyn Sheremata, who plays flute, enjoyed the experience this past year and plans to join in every year while she attends university. She commented there is no instrumental ensemble on campus, and this was a great way to continue playing.
The Camrose and District Community Band was asked to perform O Canada and one of its festival performance numbers, a selection from the musical Jesus Christ, Superstar, at the grand concert of the Camrose and District Music Festival, and was awarded the Lions Rose Bowl trophy and scholarship at the end of the event. This award is given annually for the best performance of the Festival, and is sponsored by the Lions Club of Camrose through a fund administered by the Battle River Community Foundation. This is the third time the band has received this award. Camrose and District Community Band president Ray
Hook was surprised and pleased with the award. "I was grateful for all the members who work hard all year and come out regularly," he said. "They deserved it. Special thanks to Tom Spila, the director." Spila was pleased with the band's performance at the festival. "The group has worked hard in rehearsal all year and I'm happy for the members that their efforts were recognized," he said. The band conducts rehearsals on Tuesday nights, from 7:30 to 9:00, starting the third week of September, at Camrose Composite High School. Watch local papers in the fall for details.
Polkafest attracts 260 dancers By Murray Green
The Camrose Polkafest Club will welcome dancers from across Western Canada to its ninth annual event on May 25 and 26. On Friday, the dancing is from 7 to 11 p.m. at the Mirror Lake Centre. The following day, bands begin playing at 2 and go until 11 p.m. "We have two bands that will play on a rotating basis. Every hour, the bands will switch and the music never stops," said club president Bernie Boser. "Well, except for the supper hour on Saturday." The club serves a full course meal put on by Food with Flare from Viking. The Country Squires from Medicine Hat and the Diamonds from Edmonton will be providing the live music. "Country Squires has played for us
since we started and are popular with the dancers," said Bernie. "The Diamonds are a new band that was suggested to us, but they are good. It is good to mix up the bands for those who come every year." The event brings many visitors to Camrose. "A lot of them spend their summers going from one dance to another and make the circuit. It's a great way to go dancing, camping and touring Western Canada," said Bernie. "People will be camping, or parking at Walmart. We run a shuttle service from Walmart to the Mirror Lake Centre." Bernie expects to have another sell out of 260 people. "We have some tickets left. We may have more tickets available if we have cancellations." The local club will be repre-
sented by about 80 people. "Some polkafests are a one-day event, so people like coming to Camrose, where they don't feel so rushed and having everything packed into one day," Bernie said. "We have found that since people are coming from far away, they can make a weekend out of it. They can take in the sights, do some shopping and tour around the area. People don't want to travel all that way just for three or four hours. They can relax and have fun here. I'm really grateful for the Camrose volunteers who help put on this event and make it possible." The Camrose Senior Society and the Knights of Columbus are co-sponsors of the Camrose event. Tickets are available by calling Bernie at 780-6724932 or phoning John Klatic at 780-672-8407.

The need for diabetes research and education in our communities is greater than ever. "We're asking that the people of Camrose and area come out and support our club in our fundraising for the Travelling Diabetes Research Program," said Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club member Val Faucher. "TDRP is avail-
able to Alberta residents free of charge, providing support and resources for people with diabetes, family members, and those at risk for developing the disease. Please come out and help us in our efforts to promote diabetes research and awareness." Watch for the cavalcade parade that runs at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. It could go through your neighbourhood.

Rose Isaac Reimer Boese Ruth Isaac Reimer Boese was born to Dave and Elizabeth Toews Isaac on September 2, 1935 in Rosenort, MB. She peacefully passed away on May 10, 2012 in St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose, AB after a courageous battle with cancer. Mom spent her childhood and youth years in Rosenort with her family of nine siblings. She got converted and was baptized, becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on December 23, 1948. Throughout her life, she experienced many touches from the Lord that were an encouragement to her and an inspiration to others. She had a simple, trusting faith and was content and happy to serve the Lord and others. On October 16, 1955, she was married to Alfred Reimer, sharing 39 precious years together. Mom and Dad raised their five children on the family farm at Crooked Creek, AB, enjoying the challenges and simple pleasures of life. Mom was an easy person to love, and made many friends, becoming Mother Ruth to all. Early mornings were a special time for her, and she would go for a walk or have her baking done before the day began! She had so much love to share, and many were blessed with her cinnamon rolls and cookies. She loved flowers, and tended them carefully. Mom was very loyal to Dad in his deaconry, and treasured their life together. She was very brokenhearted when he passed away on August 24, 1994, but she clung to the hand of Jesus and bravely faced the future. On October 24, 1997, she was joined in marriage to Ed Boese of Edberg, AB. With enthusiasm and joy, she welcomed his children, grandchildren and congregation into her heart and life. She was supportive of his ministry, and faithfully cared for him. She experienced deep sorrow in the loss of her youngest son, Gordon, on April 24, 2000. She again relied on the Lord for strength to carry her through. Dad and Mom did a lot of traveling together, and enjoyed spending time with their children. Mom’s hands were never idle, always knitting or crocheting some special gift for someone. She loved poetry and memorized many poems. At home, she was always ready to share a cup of tea and set puzzle with anyone that stopped by. When her health began to fail, she found it very difficult to think of leaving her many loved ones, especially her dear husband Ed. The week before her passing, the Lord gave her a special resignation and peace that was with her to the end. As we said goodbye, there was a look of calm assurance in her eyes. Mom has run the race and finished her course, and we thank the Lord for the gift of her life. Those left to cherish her memories are her husband Ed Boese, Edberg, AB; Joan Reimer, Crooked Creek, AB; Irene and Byron Loewen, Neilburg SK; Marvin and Lola Reimer, Crooked Creek, AB; Nancy and Lynn Isaac, Beaverlodge, AB; daughter-in-law Penny and Bill Toews, Silver Valley, AB. Ed’s children: Maynard and Viola Boese, Sexsmith, AB; Harold and Valerie Boese, Edberg, AB; Irma and Pat Nichols, El Campo, TX; Fern and Eric Unruh, West Union, IA; Alice and John Boese, Carrot River, SK (presently at Elkton, VA); Gladys and Robert Smith, Walker, MO; Phyllis and James Penner, New Norway AB; Eileen and Brent Haynes, Guntersville, AL; Calvin and Cheryl Boese, Edberg, AB. Together they had 58 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren. Preceding her in death were her husband Alfred, son Gordon, her parents, three brothers, and two brothers-in-law. Funeral services were held on Monday, May 14, 2012 at Edberg Mennonite Church. Interment was in Rosedale Cemetery, Crooked Creek, AB, on May 15, 2012.

Evraz, CAW workers still talking By Murray Green
The Canadian Auto Workers union employees that staff EVRAZ Camrose are still locked out with no signs of going back to work or to the bargaining table. However, EVRAZ says they continue to talk with representatives from the CAW. Union employees began to picket outside of the EVRAZ property after 9 a.m. on May 5. EVRAZ has implemented plans to ensure service to its customers, including safely resuming operations at the facility the week of May 7 with fully-trained EVRAZ employees. The mill is still operating with manpower from supervisors and regular non-union employees. EVRAZ accepted a solution that was recommended by the Alberta Labour Board appointed mediator on Friday, May 4, including multiple wage and pension increases. Although the Canadian Auto Workers union bargaining committee turned
down the government-mediated solution, EVRAZ continues to be willing to bargain in good faith with the CAW to reach an agreement that will be beneficial to EVRAZ employees and maintain the competitive position of the Camrose facility. "EVRAZ initiated a lockout at the Camrose facility on May 5. Up until then we spent a great deal of time talking with CAW Local 551 union members, including long hours at the bargaining table led by the Alberta Labour Board appointed mediator," said Mike Rehwinkel, president and CEO of EVRAZ North America. "With my full support on May 6, EVRAZ accepted the solution that was recommended by the mediator and that includes multiple wage and pension increases for employees. Much to my disappointment, the union did not accept the mediator’s recommendation." Some people think that the proposal includes the elimination of the current pension and retire-
ment benefits that employees have. "Let me be very clear — the proposed replacement of the traditional pension plan by a new defined contribution plan does not pertain to current employees, who will continue to be covered by the traditional plan. The same holds true for retiree benefit insurance," explained Mr. Rehwinkel. "During my long career, I’ve been involved with numerous union negotiations. Folks at EVRAZ who have gotten to know me over the past couple of years know that I call it as I see it, and I see this one — the mediator’s recommended solution to us and the union — as fair and beneficial to our employees. I also firmly believe that this solution will enable us to maintain the competitive position of the Camrose facility, so we can continue making great pipe for years to come." Mr. Rehwinkel hopes the union will reconsider the solution offered by the Alberta Labour Board mediator and that employ-
ees will be back in the facility soon, working safely to make quality pipe for customers. CAW Local 551 represents a bargaining unit of 105 workers at EVRAZ Camrose including trades persons, machine operators and labourers. EVRAZ operates two pipe mills in Camrose. One is an electric-resistance-weld (ERW) mill that manufactures pipe and casing up to 16 inches in diameter. This pipe is used primarily in drilling and transporting of oil and gas from the well head to larger transmission lines. It is also used to distribute natural gas once it arrives in the marketplace. The second mill is a doublesubmerged, arc-welded (DSAW) mill that produces large-diameter pipe used for larger transmissions lines. Both of these mills utilize the highest quality steel plate and coils to produce a broad range of steel pipe required in a broad range of applications.
Griffin family enjoys 185-kilometre MS Bike Tour
Murray Green, Camrose Booster The What Were You Thinking Camrose biking team of, left to right, Allan Mueller, Hayley Fontaine, Sadie Griffin and Merv Griffin receiving $250 From Rob Hauser of Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre for the MS Bike Tour from Nisku to Camrose and back on June 9 and 10. Zetsen Master Builders also donated $200 to the team that also includes Darcy Goudreau. By Murray Green
The Camrose biking team of Allan Mueller, Merv Griffin and his daughters Darcy Goudreau, Hayley Fontaine and Sadie Griffin are entering the MS Bike Tour from Nisku to Camrose and back on June 9 and 10. "I've biked the tour the last two years with my daughters and this year we have added Allan Mueller of Home Hardware to the team," said Merv Griffin, who is a steady customer. "Rob Hauser is so community minded and he has agreed to help us with some funding." Rob is the owner of Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre in Camrose. The team name "What Was I Thinking?" reflects on the workout that covers 185 kilometres in two days. "We are involved in the bike tour because we have been lucky health-wise and we are able to do it. Allan mentioned he biked in Vietnam on holidays
and I asked him to join us this year," said Merv. "We start at the Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers lot in Nisku and go to the Wetaskiwin Hospital and then to Camrose on the first day. The organizers hold a banquet Saturday night at the CRE and then on Sunday we head towards Miquelon Lake and over to Hay Lakes before going back to Nisku," explained Merv. "There are about 1,800 participants each year in this bike tour." Biking begins at 7:30 a.m. and all you need is a bike and the passion to help end MS. A weekend of riding, fun and adventure can mean a lifetime of difference to over 11,000 Albertans living with MS. "My oldest daughter Darcy was the one that started us on the tour because she likes to exercise," Merv said. "I've completed it the last two years, but it is getting tougher for this old guy to keep up with them. This year,
I can ride with Allan if they get too far ahead of us. It is our way for us to give something back because we have been blessed with our health." The MS Bike Tour is a pledge-based fundraising event that provides Canadians with the opportunity to ride through scenic and often spectacular parts of the country. "We encourage people to help us by pledging our team. All they have to do is go online at www.mssociety.ca/ msbiketours and pledge. We have to raise at least $295 each, but we are hoping to have more because it is a great cause," said Merv. "I policed the event as the bike tour went on the highways in the past, but I didn't realize just how much of an effort it took to complete the tour. The wonderful thing is that most people can do it and you get people from all walks of life coming together for a good cause." The MS Bike Tour has been
a critical part of the MS Society’s fundraising efforts for over 20 years. Proceeds from this event and others like it fund innovative programs and services and support groundbreaking research dedicated to finding a cure. Having multiple sclerosis means that one morning you may not be able to walk when you wake up. Or that you may suddenly have impaired vision. Or that your memory will fail you for no apparent reason. The symptoms of MS are many and vary for everyone. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world which is why we need your help. Whether you’re a dedicated cyclist or looking for a bit of recreation, pedalling in the MS Bike Tours means you will be a part of an extraordinary group of Canadians who are getting outside to raise money in the fight against MS.

City ends naming rights By Dan Jensen
You can scratch Edgeworth Centre as the name of the City's multi-use facility. A letter of agreement that granted facility naming rights to Edgeworth Properties was terminated by Camrose City council May 7. All Edgeworth signs will be removed from the centre within the next couple of weeks. Edgeworth Properties committed $750,000 to the naming rights of the centre in May, 2007, when the City was conducting its capital fundraising campaign. "Funds were to be paid in equal installments of $150,000 per year from 2007 to 2011 for the naming of the facility for a period of 10 years," said Camrose Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen. "Payments were made for the first three years but have been in default for both 2010 and 2011, leaving an unpaid balance of $300,000." Edgeworth Properties has gone into receivership and it is evident the City is not going to receive the final two payments. The termination of the agreement opens a number of options for the City of Camrose. One is to seek a new sponsor whereby the sponsor pays for naming rights over a specified amount of time for a specified amount of funds. A second is to seek a donor for a specified funding amount and give that donor permanent naming rights to the facility (Chuck MacLean Arts Centre for example). A third option is to name the facility in honour of someone, some organization, or some significant event, or select a name that is descriptive of the facility purpose or location. Councillors Max Lindstrand and Greg Wood expressed support for the option that involves finding a sponsor. "It is fairly common now, with the exception of Leduc (where the facility is named the Black Gold Centre) for the facilities to have a sponsorship arrangement," said Wood. Councillor Brandon Blatz expressed support for the second option, which he said would provide revenue for the City as well as eliminate some of the ongoing administrative costs later on. Nielsen said the process of finding a title sponsor will involve costs of putting together documents and having the mayor pay a visit to the interested party. "It is not by any means going to be a fast process unless we are pleasantly surprised," he said. "We pretty much have to mount almost a full campaign." Continued on page 36

County council sets mill rate for rural ratepayers By Murray Green
Camrose County council was determined to present a balanced budget despite the increased school tax from the province. When the dust settles and the numbers are crunched, the average taxpayer will be paying less than $100 extra to pay for school taxes. The county has no control over how much the province charges through school taxes. After lengthy budget deliberations last fall, priorities were established. "Some capital purchase items have already been approved," said Al Radke, assistant administrator for the county. "The year end
audited financial statement was approved by council. Approving the proposed budget for fiscal year 2012 and subsequently passing the mill rate by-law will now set in motion the timely release of assessment tax notices." Trying to balance the books didn't come without some hardships. "Even with the province taking an 8.7 per cent increase for its Alberta School Foundation Fund (ASFF), Camrose County council was still eager to deliver a balanced budget with moderate growth. The county was able to balanced its part of the budget. ASFF, otherwise known
as the School Tax, increased from $3,951,515 to $4,295,211," Al said. "The school tax is collected annually from county rate payers and forwarded in quarterly installments to the province. This $343,696 was potentially a valuable revenue opportunity to be used for county initiatives, but it has now been conceded to the province." Camrose County settled on an operating budget of $24,168,163. County council was able to increase the budget by $3.8 million over last year. However, doing so by only increasing the taxation necessary by $639,168.
"When considering the forecasted revenues this year of $12,179,912, council required $11,988,251 in taxes to balance the budget. Over the past year, linear (oil and gas, telephone and cable lines) and non-residential assessments demonstrated growth in the county. Farmland and residential displayed a reduction. These latter classes are now beginning to translate what the marketplace has been trending." For homeowners within the county, the most important question is how will this affect their taxes. In 2012, home owners will be subject to a municipal tax of
2.827 and an ASFF tax of 2.3506. "For a home assessed at $225,000 this should equate to an increase of $30.27 for municipal taxes and $62.46 in ASFF from the year previous. Therefore, a home owner should expect an overall increase of $92.73 this year over last year," explained Al. "Camrose County is poised to forge ahead on some long standing projects and be proactive and progressive for long-term viability and sustainability." The county increased the mill rate from 2.691 to 2.827. The school tax increased to 8.7 this year.

Lamb Ford joins elite company By Dan Jensen
Lamb Ford Sales Ltd. has taken its place among some pretty elite company. The Camrose car and truck dealership has been recognized with the 2011 President's Diamond Club Award. Ford of Canada's highest honour, the President's Diamond Club Award is presented annually to those dealerships that demonstrate outstanding achievement in sales and customer service. "You have to be within the top 10 per cent of all dealers in Canada for sales and customer satisfaction," said Lamb Ford Sales assistant general manager Brett Denham. The President's Diamond Club Award is one step above the President's Award, which Lamb Ford Sales has won several times over the last 30 years. This is the second year the President's Diamond Club Award has been presented. "It speaks highly of the commitment to everyone here to look after the needs of the customers and the faith our customers have in us to be able to meet their needs," said Denham. Lamb Ford Sales general manager Pat Quinlan said the President's Diamond Club Award is very special because it takes the commitment of every department throughout the entire dealership. Summit Awards
Lamb Ford Sales sales professionals Dan Madison and Jan Nowakowski received Summit awards during a May 19 ceremony at the Westin Hotel, Edmonton, for placing among the top ten per cent in sales in western Canada, while Matt McLeod received a Summit award for placing in the top ten per cent in western Canada in fleet sales. Sharon Mills, Lamb Ford Sales' service advisor, received a Summit award for having one of the top ratings in western

Canada on the customer satisfaction index. Lamb Ford Sales owner Cliff Denham considers himself fortunate to be surrounded by quality people, some of whom have been at the dealership as long as he has. "It is not the brick and mortar that make a dealership successful," he said, "it is the people. We have very good personnel in all areas, whether it be in sales, parts, service, our QuickLane or autobody. The team we have assembled is very hard to beat."
Lamb Ford sales' professional sales staff ensure complete satisfaction, from the time the customers walk in the doors to the time they drive away â&#x20AC;&#x201C; usually in a new vehicle. Their goal is to help you purchase a vehicle, rather than to sell you a vehicle. Lamb Ford Sales' service department, led by service manager Dennis Yochim, provides peace of mind to every customer who brings his or her vehicle in for service. Staff in the collision depart-
ment, under the direction of Gary Balcom, will inspect your vehicle, provide a written estimate on the complete finished product, and complete the work in the time allotted. Lamb Ford Sales' QuickLane staff are dedicated to no appointment necessary service consisting of oil and filter changes, brake service, wheel alignment, shock/struts maintenance, tire rotation and tire sales. Supervisor Glenn Lyseng and his crew ensure that every
vehicle entering QuickLane is inspected and maintained with the highest quality of professionalism. All aspects of work completed or needed are communicated to the customer in the form of a report card for peace of mind driving. Lamb Ford Sales' parts manager Gord Ringwall and his staff will help you with whatever requirement you may have, whether it be genuine Ford parts or aftermarket accessories. Denham believes in order to keep customers returning you need to treat them like one of the family. His theory is that if you look after the customer everything else will look after itself. "I want to treat customers the way I would like to be treated," he said. Denham also believes in taking good care of the community. He has donated a truck to Habitat for Humanity, and over the past few years has been a regular supporter of many community organizations, including Camrose Minor Sports, STARS, and the Camrose Kodiaks. "We do extremely well in the community and we don't mind giving back as a way of saying thanks." Denham likes to tell people Lamb Ford Sales has had good years and great years, but never a bad year. "In my time here," he said, "we have always been one of the top Ford dealerships in central Alberta."

City terminates naming rights Continued from page 30
Councillor John Howard said that until the City finds a new sponsor the facility will continue to be known and referred to as the Edgeworth Centre. "We will not replace the existing name until we give them (the public) a new name, whether that is a sponsorship, a donation or just naming." Howard added that the
continued use of the current name is generating more ill will in the community than good. Council agreed to have discussions at a future Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss a naming policy that sets out criteria and guidance for naming facilities, parks, streets, bridges and/or other elements of municipally provided infrastructure, and sets objective
guidelines to be followed in considerations. The unpaid balance of $300,000 owned by Edgeworth Properties has been funded as a bad debt. "The amount remains on the books, offset by an allowance for bad debts, netting to zero on the financial statements," said Nielsen. "If the building is renamed this receivable should be removed from the books."
Recently the Camrose Arts Society talked about the idea of finding more ways to bring families together. With the advent of the Bailey Theatre, some opportunities have opened up for live entertainment. Following the discussions and realizing that some families may have a limited budget, the arts society decided to seek community partners to help create a family series. Our first partner is hopefully the Alberta Foundation for the Arts who will help with the cost of the artists through a grant and our second partner is Harberg Nikiforuk Wood LLP who will assist with other expenses. We are searching for other community businesses or individuals who would like to become partners also. Our family series will begin with two exciting events for 2012 and hopefully we will be able to have enough partners to organize a minimum of four for 2013. The first show that is slated to appear is Bobby Boogaloo and the Ooga Booga Band on Sunday, May 27, at 2 p.m. This concert promises to be a 'Full Band Kidz Rock’n’Rollin’ Sing-and-ShakeAlong Show’. The show will be high energy and very interactive. It is sure to please free spirited kids of all ages. Bobby is considered to be one of Canada’s most in demand children’s entertainers. He performs at many schools and events across the nation. His appeal does not stop at the children, with his ability to write and perform ‘catchy, fresh and fun music, combined with his witty and animated sense of humour, philosophical outlook, and his deep sense of caring for the people and world around him. Bobby’s first album “Kids have Character” is available and
is being very well received. It is based on a school concert program that deals with character and social responsibility, all through the power and joy of music. Bobby is working on a second album called “Family Boogie Party” and will include some of his best dance along songs. Many of which he plays with his “grownup" band and should appeal to the whole family.
Bobby Boogaloo
It has been said that “A concert with Bobby is bound to leave you with a smile on your face, a song in your heart, and a bit of “Boogaloo” in your brain.” Check Bobby at www.bobbyboogaloo.com A second show for the series is scheduled for Saturday, October 20, with equally high energy entertainers Splash 'n Boots (more details to follow on this show). Tickets for the Bobby Boogaloo show are $10 and children under two are free. They are available at the Bailey Theatre box office, or online at www. baileytheatre.com If anyone interested in becoming a community partner for the family series either financially or by volunteering, can call Jane at 780-672-9949.

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday 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.

Oncology nurse navigator program By Murray Green The SOS (Service Options for Seniors) and the Camrose Primary Care Network are partnering to present an information session about the oncology nurse navigator program. PCN staff will explain the details of the program on May 29 starting at 7 p.m. The session will be held at the Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in the Memorial Hall. The Legion asks people to use the rear southeast entrance. Dr. Val Smith will talk about the geriatric assessment program. A presentation on the Tube of Life will be conducted by Colleen Lindholm of the Primary Care Network. "The PCN has a priority to build partnerships within our community. Service Options for Seniors presented this opportunity to us, which we felt was a great way to collaborate in a meaningful and relevant way to the senior population," said Colleen, communications lead for Camrose PCN. The Nurse Navigator Program is a leading edge program now available in Camrose and area to support individuals diagnosed with cancer. "The Camrose Primary Care Network has launched the Oncology Nurse Navigation Program to provide information, resources and support to newly diagnosed cancer patients and their support persons. The program is client-centered and places greater emphasis on patient empowerment. Through information, education and encouragement, patients are supported in managing their own care," added Colleen. When individuals access the program, they can expect assistance with finding accurate and credible information regarding their cancer diagnosis and related concerns, guidance to resources and support available in the community (financial, mental health, etc.), and support with the physical and emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. "This is an opportunity for the seniors in our community to have information about health and wellness topics presented to them in an informal yet informative setting. The topics chosen are programs which seniors access on a regular basis. The PCN is grateful for the opportunity to share this important and essential information to the seniors in our community," Colleen said. "The Tube of Life is something that is relevant to all ages, particularly seniors. If an individual has a medical emergency, which requires an ambulance to come to his or her home, often the EMS staff have no knowledge of his or her medical history or the medications he or she is on. Having this information can be vital in the approach the EMS staff take with the immediate medical care." The tube is a compact, plastic cylinder holding a document that people fill in with the details of their medication information and other important directions in

Beavers affect environment By Murray Green
The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society's first environmental event in its summer series will keep people thinking as busy as beavers. Nils Anderson will be talking about how beavers affect their environments, particularly how they affect amphibians and macroinvertebrates. The session will be held on May 29 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre. "The Camrose river valley has been physically modified by these creatures, but do beavers affect their environments beyond the immediately physical? Nils Anderson looks at the effects of beaver modified habitats on amphibians and macro invertebrates," said CWSS summer
coordinator Stacey Rempel. "You do not need a biology degree to enjoy this talk, all you need is an interest in understanding how beavers affect their environments." The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society has hired University of Alberta, Augustana Campus student Stacey Rempel as the new summer coordinator. The next session in the series will be held on June 5 at the Stoney Creek Centre beginning at 7 p.m. The society had two successful Arbor Day tree planting days last week. "We planted just under 400 trees," added Stacey. "We are thankful for all of the volunteers who came out to help us."
