All product collected will be donated to young student moms or couples, who are financially strapped. Recipients of the donated goods must be aged 15-24, and can be single or married. They must be one of the 23 students enrolled in a one or two year high school studies completion program at the Learning Together Outreach School, at Chester Ronning School. The Rotary Interact Club is made up of CCHS students eager to give back to the community. Club members are the same age or often a few years younger than the young moms (or dads) they are assisting with this program. Students came up with the idea of a diaper drive after openly chatting about how difficult it must be to feed, clothe and take care of a baby, considering a student’s limited ability to make money. Disposable diapers can be left at Camrose churches and pharmacy outlets. For more information contact Rotary Interact Club President Rachel Woods, 780-781-6499 or Club Vice-President Bryce Thomsen, 780-678-6028.

Camrose Vocational Training Association, Camrose Association for Community Living and people who are living with disabilities should find out this week how they will be impacted by government reductions in funding for Persons with Developmental Disability (PDD). PDD chief executive officer Blaine Gillis told a crowded room of service providers and PDD funding recipients attending an information session at the Norsemen Inn, May 23, that he would be providing budget allocations for the region's service providers within the next couple of days. "We will work with each of our agencies to talk about what their budget is, what their budget was last year and how we begin to work aligning ourselves to the budget," said Gillis. The provincial government announced earlier this year, at budget time, that it will be reducing funding for community access support programs that help disabled Albertans participate in community activities by $42 million and focusing more of its attention on an employment first strategy designed to integrate more disabled Albertans into the work force. The government also indicated that it intends to change the form and the purpose of the supports it provides and use a Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) system to determine services that are more based on need. "When we supported this process three years ago we didn't talk about SIS being used for funding," said Gillis. "We talked about SIS being used for planning and as a way to help us get a good understanding of what individual support needs are. Those are all still very legitimate but it is now going to be attached to funding." Associate Minister of Services for People with Disabilities Frank Oberle, who, along with Assistant Deputy Minister of the Disability Services Division of Human Services Brenda Lee Doyle accompanied Gillis to the meeting, said the changes are part of a government plan to improve, streamline, contract PDD services and create greater accountability. "We are now in the implementation phase," said Oberle. "The vision is for a program where people with disabilities have the opportunity to reach their potential. This increases opportunities for employment and for them to be involved in their communities in truly meaningful ways so that they can be contributing members of society and cease to be isolated and under valued. Everyone has a contribution to make and we should support them in making that contribution." Employment

Minister Oberle said the message he is hearing is that the government has to do a better job of social inclusion and helping people get jobs. "The people we support have long been saying that they want to work, they want to contribute, to make money, they want to be as independent as possible." Minister Oberle said the government is working with Alberta Works to improve employment supports to persons with disabilities. "We recognize that we are not going to flip a switch and that everybody will be employed. I recognize that. I also need to tell you that I don't think employment is eight hours a day and that we will get everybody to a full support level so we don't have to worry about government supports anymore. We have some work to do and that is part of the transitional difficulty that we have. But let me tell you something. We have lots of models of employment in this province. I have individuals who are employed fully independently and I have individuals who are employed with full time support workers at their side. Some of whom are employed full time and some a couple hours a week. All these models are successful. They are engaging inclusive activities that allow people to pursue their dreams, to be out there building their own social networks, rather than being surrounded by paid staff." Continued on page 22

Here’s an informative guide explaining how property taxes are determined and where the money goes…

Property Taxes Property Taxes are a method of fairly distributing the cost of providing local government services among property owners in the City. • Assessment is placing a dollar value on a property. • Taxation is applying a tax rate to a property’s assessed value.

Assessment For Residential and Non-Residential (excluding Linear) property, the legislated valuation standard in Alberta is Market Value. Market Value is the most likely sale price your property should achieve on the open market. Market Value Assessment has two crucial dates: July 1 – The Valuation Date • Alberta Legislation specifies that your assessment be based on the market value of your property as of July 1, 2012. • Sales, leases, listings and other forms of market activity occurring on or before July 1, 2012 are analyzed. • Assessments are affected by any factor that could influence the market value, including age of buildings, lot size, location, building size, etc. December 31 – The Condition Date Assessments are based on what physically existed for the property on December 31 of the previous year (2012). For example, a new garage built in 2012 will be included in the assessment. Individual tax amounts are determined by applying the tax rates to the Assessment. There are two separate processes: • City Council does not determine assessments. • City Assessor does not determine taxes. The increase to the total municipal tax is 3.57%. Assessment Questions?

Your property tax notice has three separate components: 1. Municipal Property Tax • The Municipal Property Tax funds the cost of providing local government services like fire and police services, snow removal, roadway maintenance and recreational opportunities. • Budget requirements for these services are determined, and the City Budget is set by City Council. • Camrose City Council has used new growth to minimize the municipal tax increase. • The total property tax requirement divided by the total assessment determines the tax rate. • City Countil has control over the Municipality’s total tax, not the effect on each individual property. Municipal Property Tax Questions? Phone: (780)678-4426 Email: taxes@camrose.ca Or visit Mirror Lake Centre. Financial Services Department staff are pleased to provide you with further information.

Provincial Property Taxes The required amount is set by the Provincial Government each spring for these two requisitions. City Council is required to collect those amounts on behalf of the Province. City Council has no control over these amounts. Government of Alberta Education Property Tax Questions?

2. Provincial Education Property Tax • The Provincial Education Tax funds the education system. • All funds collected by the City are submitted to the Province. • The 2013 education funding required to be collected by the City of Camrose has increased 5.98% this year.

3. Provincial Lodge Property Tax • The Provincial Lodge Tax funds the lodge system. • All funds collected by the City are submitted to the Camrose & Area Lodge Authority. • The 2013 lodge funding required to be collected by the City of Camrose has increased 7.1% this year.

Mirror Lake Express ready to resume another year of operation By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Chamber of Commerce Mirror Lake Express will resume another year of operation at Jaywalkers' Jamboree this weekend. The regular Tuesday and Thursday evening rides on the Mirror Lake trails will begin June 5. "The price of riding the train will increase from $2 to $2.50," said Camrose Chamber of Commerce train committee chair Tom Chelmick. "The increase is to try and offset a part of the loss of the STEP grant program that the provincial government cancelled in its March budget." The program paid the wages of two university students at the Visitor Information Centre. Labour of love

The Mirror Lake Express was built by Jeppa Danielson, whose dad was a railway engi-

neer in the United States from 1892 to 1900. The locomotive was fashioned from two John Deere 112 garden tractors, which he put together with a piece of 16-inch pipe and an intricate oak-finished cab that he built from scratch. Danielson first rolled out his miniature train in 2003 for the Big Valley Jamboree parade in Camrose. He later added a caboose and two coaches, all linked together with both 110 volt and 12 volt power, as well as compressed air. "Jeppa is now ninety years old," said Chelmick. "He spends about six months of the year in Parksville with his daughters and the rest of the time in Camrose." City purchase

After purchasing the train from Danielson for $100,000, the City of Camrose transferred the train to the Camrose Chamber

of Commerce, along with the responsibility for remaining payment obligations. "It has turned out to be a great investment," said Chelmick. "It is a symbol of Camrose and something that brings so much joy to kids, adults and grandparents, not only here in Camrose but across the province. It represents the City and County wherever it goes." The amount spent by the Chamber on train upgrades over the years is approximately $20,000. "We replaced the wheels and the tie rods and put in a hydrostatic transmission," said Chelmick. "The transmissions that were in it before were belt driven and took a lot of time to replace." Parades

The Mirror Lake Express will be carrying members of

About Time Productions in a number of parades throughout the summer. "We did this last year for the Capital X Parade in Edmonton and won Best Municipal Entry over all the other towns and cities in Alberta," said Chelmick. The train's longest trip of the summer will come in July, when it travels to Calgary. "The kids with About Time Productions are excited about participating in the Calgary Stampede parade because they will be staying overnight in the dorms at the University of Calgary," said Chelmick. "We're going to have a contingent of about 38 kids, parents and Chamber staff." The City of Camrose has granted the Chamber permission to use the train every day during the Big Valley Jamboree weekend of August 1 to 4. The goal of the Chamber

train committee for 2014 is to operate the train seven days a week. "If we run it more often and have set times of operation we can go after more of the tourists," said Chelmick. "Right now most of the people who ride it are from Camrose and area." Chelmick estimates there are about 100 people who donated their time to the train during the course of the summer, from bank managers to the Visitor Information Centre staff who ride ahead on bikes when the train is on the Mirror Lake trail system to let people know who is coming. McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC and Camrose Regional Exhibition have donated the use of trucks for travelling to out of town events. The Mirror Lake Express had over 6,000 riders in 2012.

Blues trio Bart Walker, Joanne Shaw Taylor and Jimmy Bowskill are rready to perform at the Bailey Theatre. By Murray Green

The Blues Caravan has three of the best performers from different countries on this year's tour. Canada's Jeff Healey prodigy Jimmy Bowskill, American Bart Walker, and the first lady of British blues, Joanne Shaw Taylor, are in the group touring western Canada in June. The Blues Caravan is stopping at the Bailey Theatre on Tuesday, June 4, for an 8 p.m. show. This marks the ninth annual Blues Caravan and brings raw, powerful blues to the stage. Jimmy has been on stage since age 11 and was discovered by Jeff. Now 21, he has a grasp on blues music more than most twice his age. His fifth release Back Number has been earning him respect. He was Canada’s youngest Juno nominee, with his second album being nominated for the prestigious award in 2004. Together with Jimmy's band, the soulful singer and player is becoming one of Canada’s blues greats. Bart, of Nashville, released his second album Waiting on Daylight after his successful debut Who I Am. He joined the international blues scene with a bright future ahead of him. Joanne received a chance to entertain the audience in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, when she burst onto the scene with a crushing guitar solo amid Annie Lennox’s set. She was discovered by Lennox’s guitarist Dave Stewart when she was only 16. Her third album Almost Always Never has pushed her boundaries to the international scene as well. Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office, or online.

Spendable at your choice of Super Booster advertisers All proceeds from this event will be donated to Camrose Minor Hockey

Marshall has co-produced his first three CDs Where’s the Party, The Morning After and Blues Intervention. The last

two releases have hit the Top 10 charts on Canada's Roots Music Report for radio play and the Top 50 Blues International. Marshall is just releasing a fourth CD, House Call. Expect an exciting evening of Blues with Marshall leading the way. Camrose band Black Hyenas will open for the event. The high energy show allows for a crowd-pleasing live music experience. Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office on Main Street, or online.

The City will also collect $365,904 for the Camrose and Area Lodge Authority requisition, an increase of 7.1 per cent from the $341,580 it collected a year ago, and $6,822,675 for the school requisition, an increase of six per cent, or $384,694 from the $6,437,980 it collected in 2012. "From non residential property owners we are required to collect an extra $233,000 (for school requisition), which is a 13.16 per cent increase," said report by City assessor Travis Lantz. The total additional tax requirements are being offset by

new growth in assessments of $365,812. Impacts will vary

Lantz told council that the amount of taxes collected from each individual property owner will vary, depending on assessed values. A sample home owner who saw his or her assessment go from $300,000 last year to $301,000 this year could see his or her taxes go from $2,100 to $2,174, an increase of $74. A home owner who saw his or her assessment go from $500,000 to $525,000 could see his or her taxes go from $3,500 to $3,785, an increase of $285. A home owner who saw his or her assessment go from $200,000 to $190,000 could see his or her taxes decrease from $1,400 to $1,370. Lantz said a property that has experienced real growth in the past year will see a tax increase over and above the normal municipal tax increase. "A person who built a garage that is roughly worth $20,000 would see an additional $206

on the tax bill in addition to the overall municipal and school increases." Taxable assessments up

Lantz said the total taxable assessment for the City of Camrose increased in the last year by $41 million. "We now have $1.87 billion worth of residential assessment, $516 million of non residential market value, $25 million of linear property and $65 million of machinery and equipment, which is exempt from taxation." Lantz said Camrose has a pretty stable residential market. "In terms of inflation, residential property values as a whole are up a half of a per cent. We are not seeing large increases in property values. There might be some areas that are slightly up and some areas that are slightly down." On the non residential side, property values are up over last year by an average of 4.4 per cent. Real growth on the residential side was 1.7 per cent, or approximately $32 million.

"We sold ten lots as a developer in Valleyview that became taxable, the private developer in the Creekview subdivision made some significant improvements, and 95 new single family dwelling homes either began, were continued or were completed in 2012," said Lantz. "We also had 25 new duplex units, numerous basement developments, garages, renos, and three fourplexes." Non residential growth totalled approximately $8 million, thanks, in part, to the completion of the work started at the Camrose Resort Casino with regard to the convention centre, the lease of four hangar lots at the Camrose airport, the construction of a new hangar at the airport, construction of a new gas bar, and partial construction of ten new industrial warehouse/ storage buildings. Sample home

The new tax rates mean that a sample homeowner with a home which increased by half a per cent in value in 2012 and now has an assessed value of

$266,350 will be paying $69 more for municipal, $9 more for education, and $2 more for lodge, for a total of $2,738. The owner of a non residential property which saw a typical increase in value of 4.4 per cent in 2012 and is now assessed at $626,000 will be paying $290 more for municipal, $243, more for education, and $8 more for lodge, for a total of $10,165. Lantz said 81 per cent of the residential property owners in Camrose will see new assessments between a two per cent increase and a two per cent decrease. "That 81 per cent will see a tax increase very much like the overall 3.6 per cent municipal increase." Sixty-two per cent of commercial property owners will see a new assessment that is zero to ten per cent higher than it was in 2012, while 12 per cent will see their assessments increase by ten per cent or more. Camrose property taxes must be paid by the end of June to avoid penalty.

Police services have a busy long weekend By Murray Green

More than 5,000 tickets were issued by Alberta's Integrated Traffic Units on the May long weekend. That includes the RCMP and Sheriffs, but doesn't include the city police in places like Calgary, Edmonton and Camrose. The reported collision data, as of May 21, indicated that there were seven fatal collisions that resulted in the death of eight persons. The RCMP reported that 48 drivers were charged with Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle, with one driver charged with Impaired Operation by a drug. In total, 83 provincial liquor violations were also presented. The Alberta Integrated Traffic Units issued 3,843 speeding violations and 67 of those were more than 50 kph over the limit. There were 21 vehicles stopped for speeding past emergency vehicles. A total of 204 seat belt tickets were handed out including 21 for children not being secured. Intersection tickets for failing to stop reached 39 on the weekend. Distracted drivers were pulled over for 57 violations. Only one of those didn't involve a cell phone. Hazardous driving, such as careless or moving violations, counted for 85 tickets. Another 638 violations were issued for non-hazardous situations such as no insurance, registration and suspended licences. Sixteen drivers received a 24-hour suspension, Twelve were for drugs and four for alcohol. In addition, three graduated licences were suspended. Alberta's Integrated Traffic Units issued 5,039 violations from May 17 to 20. One got away. A sheriff clocked a motorcycle traveling 181 kph. Once the motorcycle driver realized he was being monitored, the driver accelerated even more and fled. The sheriff exercised a sound safety decision and did not pursue.

Bike tour hits City of Camrose in the wallet By Dan Jensen and Murray Green

Camrose will receive international attention when it hosts the finishing leg of the Tour of Alberta bike race Sept. 4 but it will come at a cost. City council voted at its May 21 regular meeting to draw $25,000 from the City of Camrose Community Assistant Grant program and $20,000 from municipal reserve account to fund $45,000 in tour expenses. "Members of the Tour of Alberta updated us on their planning process (during a May 21 committee of the whole meeting)," said Mayor Marshall Chalmers. "Part of the meeting centred around their committee asking finan-

cial support in the order of $45,000." The City had earlier committed in kind services from various departments equalling approximately $4,500. City council was told in February of this year that the event requires a local investment of $45,000. "The local organizing committee is working on a sponsorship plan and ways to raise funds and there is not a request for direct funding at this stage in the planning, though there is potential for a future request," said Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen in a Feb. 19 report. Councillors initially debated using $5,000 from the economic development budget, but

changed their minds after hearing that the economic budget is already tight as a result of other sponsorship requests. "It would be the administration's preference, subject to council approval, that the economic development budget be left as it is, allowing for minor flexibilities," said City manager Damian Herle. The withdrawal of $25,000 from the Community Assistance Program account totally depletes that account for the year. "If someone comes along two months from now and wants something we deal with it two months from now," said councillor John Howard. The Tour of Alberta will feature some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top

professional cyclists and cover close to 900 km. Canada's best cyclist Ryder Hesjedel will be part of Team Garmin Sharp riding through Camrose. 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 Mountains 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. 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.

PEN .I am a more empathic person POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Watching the Tenore benefit concert for Watoto Ministries of Uganda, at Grace Lutheran Church, May 10, was a remarkable experience. The three tenors presented the audience of well over two hundred people with a mix of classic hymns original music. I hope all our guests

enjoyed the show as much as I did. The people of Tenore certainly enjoyed Camrose; they will be back in November to perform two Christmas concerts with selections from their upcoming Christmas CD. It was a bright spring evening, with natural light streaming through the windows as the tenors began their show. To the wonderful harmonies of “This is My Fathers World” the show began. It was an uplifting program with some audience participation during the choruses. After a brief intermission there was a draw for a Tenore CD. Congratulations to the fortunate Mrs. Roxanne Schultz who received the prize. The singers completed the program, finishing with a lovely rendition of “The Lord’s Prayer” and we all repaired to the Parish Hall for refreshments and a “meet and greet”. The entire crew and cast

of Tenore are a friendly, downto-earth group who took time to mingle with our guests and share their views. All in all, a wonderful evening. Thanks to Tenore for their gift of a free concert; thanks to our guests, who made the evening a success; and thanks to the volunteers whose work let the show go on without a hitch. For those who could not attend, the folks at Community 10 TV were there with their cameras and recorded the entire show. It will be broadcast on Cable 10 in the near future. Tenore will return in November for two nights only, performing a selection of Christmas songs from their new CD. Details will follow. Thanks again from the members of Grace Lutheran Church for joining us on that memorable night. Dave Gosse, Camrose

Grannies Stride To Turn the Tide Impossible mission Bullying has been the topic in major news stories recently, usually when the extreme consequence of unkind words and/or gossip have led to the victim’s suicide. Sometimes the words or stories that hurt are uttered by persons who intend to hurt; sometimes the originators thoughtlessly believe they are just “poking a little harmless fun,” supported by the old saying, “Sticks and stones may hurt my bones but names will never harm me.” Some names can boost one’s morale and self-esteem but others can destroy it completely and change the course of a life – sometimes end it! This has caused me to recall ‘the feather story’ which has been in circulation for several hundred years. It’s a story that we cannot hear too many times. There are several versions from different sources but the basic story in all goes something like this: There was a man in a small town somewhere who liked to talk. His work gave him the chance to get all kinds of news about other people. In an unconstrained way, he passed them all along to others whether true, false or groundless rumour. He was a good story-teller and sometimes embellished them at bit to get a laugh. His stories may not have stopped there; his listeners may also have passed them on to their families and others. One day he was told that his stories had hurt some folks and he felt deep remorse. He went to his clergyman to ask what he could do to make amends. His spiritual advisor told him to bring a knife and a pillow stuffed with feathers. The man was bewildered but left and quickly returned with the pillow and knife. The clergyman then told the man to slash the pillow and scatter all the feathers in the wind, which he did – erroneously thinking that his penance had been paid. But there was one more thing to do. “Now,” said the clergyman, “pick up every single one of the feathers and put them back into the pillow.” That, of course, was impossible to do – and that's the point of the story. Once a word is spoken it can never be retrieved, no matter how great the remorse. Even a bullet is not totally gone when the weapon has been fired; often it can be traced and retrieved. The physical damage it may have caused will often heal although a scar will always remain. Not so with words; like feathers in the wind, it is impossible to find and put back every last one into the pillow. Words are very, very powerful – they can heal or hurt – so it’s wise to think before we speak. All of us at some time have offended with words that came out of our mouths, even if no malice was intended. Feeling sorry cannot bring them back although an apology might lessen the hurt. Kind and compassionate words, that are sincere and honest, can brighten another’s day and be an incentive for that person to try even harder to justify the compliment. Some words can boost one’s morale and self-esteem but others can destroy it completely and change the course of a life – sometimes end it! Before we speak, write, or communicate by Internet or body language, let us remember that words cannot be retrieved, ever, no matter how great our remorse. May our words always do good, not harm!

Working vacation cleanses Dobbie's soul By Murray Green A trip to Nicaragua to stay at a beach house and lounge around all day wasn't that appealing to Camrose United Church member Cathy Dobbie. However, when her grandson Dylan informed her it was a working holiday and that she would be staying in a remote part of the country and helping Nicaraguan children, well that was a different story. "I'm not one for big five star hotels and shiny door knobs. I like the rough and tumble lifestyle. I started nursing in northern Manitoba and lived close to reserves. I like helping people who have less than we have," said Cathy. "People are loving and caring, regardless if they have money. They appreciate everything, even the trinkets." Cathy agreed to go in 2010 with her grandson and people from Lethbridge. This is the first that she heard about a trip of this nature. They went with several other western Canadian adults and students. The guests at Monty's Beach Lodge are invited to get involved with local projects. "Even if you choose to do nothing, a portion of the accommodation rate goes towards ongoing community projects. You are encouraged to help and I thought it was a great way to meet people and dive into their culture," said Cathy. However, that hooked her for life. "Who would have thought that it would be a life changing experience," said an excited Cathy. "I've gone three times and all three trips have been simply sensational and my memories will last forever." Each trip has progressed into helping the community and its residents further. The first trip consisted of helping children with school, art projects, feeding and since Cathy loves taking pictures, she took pictures of them. Others built health centres, classrooms,

washrooms and assembled water purifying units. At first diapers were made and bought by tourists to donate to the health centre. "This year we took supplies with us to teach the women to make fitted baby diapers and baby blankets," she explained. "This was so successful that it will be an on-going project. The cloth recyclable diapers and blankets will be given to those in need by the nurses at the local health clinic in Jiquilillo, the fishing village where we stayed." The group also spent time at a nearby orphanage, and they prepared two meals for the many families that live at the "garbage dump" in the city of Chinandega. "The families who live at the dump, pick and

scrounge for recyclable garbage to make a living. It was nice to meet them and prepare a good meal for them. "I was given a sizable donation from many friends prior to leaving home and I donated all those funds toward two main projects," stated Cathy. "The water tower fell off and was broken. I'm not sure what happened. It may have fallen down in a storm. Anyway, the funds went to the construction of a new water tower at the health centre in Jiquilillo and to new privies (bathrooms) at the feeding centre at the city dump in Chinandega." The group listened to local music at one of the schools and prepared a noon meal for children. "We then helped the students make tie-died t-shirts

and other projects. We handed out more than 100 new bathing suits and goggles that the students collected in Lethbridge, and then we all went swimming together." Cathy also took in the nearby sites, so it wasn't all work. "While the students went to the Cera Negra volcano, I went with the women to the city of Leon to go shopping. They have beautiful historical murals everywhere. We then travelled to Somoto Canyon, near the Honduras border, and went swimming and tubing in the Coco River," she said. "We went to Potosi for a dip in a hot spring. From the pier, we could see the skyline of both El Salvador and Honduras." During reading week a

group from Kamloops joined them along with some yoga and surfing buffs from the United States. "We spent time with them during meal and fiesta times. We learned to Salsa dance," said Cathy. She is now counting the days before she can return to continue her efforts. "When you see those little children with the big brown eyes and beautiful huge smiles, you can't help falling in love with the people and place. I went in February, but I still can't get them out of my heart. They care as much about you as you care about them," added Cathy. "I would rather go there than to Las Vegas because it is about helping people, instead of just looking out for me."

Seniors are prime targets for charitable fraud Donating money to charity is one of the most selfless things a person can do. Unfortunately, criminals can easily prey on these selfless acts, using a person's desire to help the less fortunate for their own personal gain. Seniors should be especially mindful of fraud schemes. That's because seniors are considered easy targets for criminals for a number of reasons. Seniors are most likely to have a nest egg and an exceptional credit rating, making them very attractive to criminals. What's more, seniors are more likely to be ashamed if they feel they have been victimized and therefore are less prone to report the fraud. But seniors should know that con artists don't discriminate when it comes to their victims, and people of all ages are victimized each and every year, particularly during the holiday season when men and women

most commonly donate. Before donating to charity this year, older donors should take the following precautions to reduce their risk of being victimized by con artists posing as charities. * Get off the phone. Seniors are commonly victimized by con artists over the phone. No reputable charity will want you to donate over the telephone. Instead, the charity will want you to familiarize yourself with their mission and history and then make a donation based on your research. If a caller wants you to donate over the phone, simply request they mail you information about the charity and then hang up. If they're a reputable charity, this should not be a problem. If the caller continues to pressure you for a donation over the phone, just hang up. A caller soliciting a donation might be a con artist, an employ-

ee of a for-profit fund-raiser or an employee of the charity itself. Ultimately, if you decide to make a donation, don't do so over the phone. Instead, send that donation directly to the charity to ensure the charity receives the entire donation, instead of a portion going toward a fund-raiser. * Don't feel pressured. No reputable charity pressures prospective donors into making contributions. That's because they don't need to. A reputable charity can afford to keep its lights on and its programs running with or without your donation. If a caller or a letter is pressuring you to donate, don't succumb to that pressure and kindly decline to donate. * Don't let "gifts" pressure you. Another tool employed by con artists or even less reputable charities is to send "gifts" to prospective donors. These can include mailing labels or cards.

The hope is that recipients will feel pressured into donating once they receive a gift. However, a charity that is worth a donation does not need to resort to such tactics, which are a waste of resources as well as a dishonest way to solicit donations. Seniors should not feel compelled to donate because they received free mailing labels. * Verify all information. Con artists are especially good at impersonating a reputable charity, sending emails with a well known charity's logo but a link that directs donors to a different Web site entirely. Never make a donation without first verifying a charity's information, including how your donation will be used and how much of the charity's budget goes toward the services and programs it provides. Charity Navigator, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping givers make smart

donating decisions, recommends donors give to charities that direct at least 75 percent of their budget on programs and services related to their mission. To avoid donating to a fraudulent or unworthy charity, research the charity and make sure your money will be going where you intend it to go. * Save all records of donations. It's important to save records of any donations for tax purposes, but it's also important for seniors to keep records to avoid fraud. Many con artists prey on seniors by pretending to represent charities seniors have donated to in the past. By keeping records of all past donations, seniors can easily verify if they have donated to a specific charity in the past and whether or not the person on the phone or the author of an e-mail or letter is telling the truth.

Province refuses to help New Norway residents By Murray Green

The Hamlet of New Norway is caught between a rock and a hard place. However, in this case, add a very wet place as well. Camrose County is growing more frustrated with the province each day because of the New Norway water and wastewater situation that boiled over at council on May 14. "We need to dig in our heels on this one. We are not going to change our previous plans. New Norway's problems were just dumped on us," said Reeve Don Gregorwich. "I told the minister's office that 10 days ago. In my opinion, we don't move an inch." The province forced Camrose County to take over the village and turn it back into a hamlet without lending a hand to replace the decrepit water and wastewater systems. On top of that, a leak in the system is estimated to cost tax payers $40 a day as water seeps back into the ground.

After councillors met with Doug Griffiths, minister of municipal affairs on March 26, Camrose County sent a letter on March 28, to the minister requesting direction for repair and replacement of basic water and wastewater infrastructure in the Hamlet of New Norway. "I understand what your challenge is. MSI funding is still there, but water, wastewater and bridge funding have been reduced by 50 per cent. Our intention is to fund those and bring them back as soon as our budget numbers get rectified, especially for water and wastewater," explained Mr. Griffiths in late March. "We have lots of aging infrastructure, not just in New Norway, but across the province. We are increasing safety for water and that costs money. It is at a time where infrastructure is aging and needs to be replaced." Camrose County was not happy with the letter of response

(dated April 18) from Mr. Griffiths. "In summary, the province will have no additional money for New Norway. The letter explains the MSI program and the Federal Gas Tax and council sets the priorities for those programs," read county administrator Steve Gerlitz to council. "It also states that the Alberta Water Wastewater partnership is not eligible as a funding source because the infrastructure in New Norway is existing, and this would be done as maintenance. We don't have any extra MSI funding available." Steve added that it would be difficult to determine which service would be a top priority as they are both in desperate need of repair or replacement. Camrose County retained ISL Engineering to conduct this review of the existing infrastructure. The existing water reservoir tower is not fit for service due to its deteriorating physical

condition and the county was asked to look at replacing the existing water tower with a new underground water reservoir and pump house by the engineering firm. The existing distribution system cannot meet existing standards, therefore the system should be upgraded as required to meet current standards and provide looping. An inspection of the wastewater system was done just prior to New Norway's dissolution by Alberta Environment (2009), which identified a number of deficiencies that should be addressed immediately, including de-sludging, rehabilitation of lagoon berms, disposal of excavated sludge material, fence repairs, lagoon signage. The sludge in the anaerobic and facultative cells needs to be removed and normal operating flow condition restored to the anaerobic cells. The banks of the lagoon need to be repaired and protected to prevent further

deterioration. A monitoring program should be implemented, and possibly a receiving watercourse assessment as required by guidelines. Effluent discharge limits need to be established based on receiving a watercourse assessment. Budget estimates to bring these deficiencies to an acceptable, basic, public safe standard are $3,105,000 for the water reservoir and distribution system and $1,987,200 for the wastewater treatment system for a total of $5,092,200. Since the time of the review, Camrose County has also experienced breaks in the waterline, so the costs could be greater. At the time of dissolution, the Village of New Norway had a full flow distribution system. To fully restore the water distribution system to this higher standard would be $6,348,000 for a total cost including wastewater of $8,335,200. Continued on page 12

FIRE AT DRIED MEAT LAKE

Doneal Greipl Photo A fire ripped through a Dried Meat Lake home on Wednesday, May 15, destroying a house valued at more than $350,000. A shed holding a Razor (large quad) was also lost. The Camrose Fire Department was called out at about 6:15 p.m. and returned the next day at about 1 a.m. Edberg and Rosalind departments were also called in to help the Camrose department in successfully saving the neighbours' houses.

Province refuses to help New Norway Continued from page 11

New Norway MSI funding for 2013 is $140,207. MSI funding from 2012 to 2017 would total $851,579, about 9.7 per cent of the cost needed. Even with just the basic water and wastewater system of $3,105,000 and wastewater treatment and collection system of $1,987,200 for a total cost of $5,092,200; it leaves the county holding a hefty bill. Hitting the 129 residents with a $5,000 bill each would still leave the county on the hook for a shortfall of $3,595,621. Councillors looked at the options – the basic infrastructure problems in New Norway are not county’s issue. In this case the province knew the water services and wastewater systems were in dire straits long before the transition occurred. "Under the MSI program, a guiding principle has always been that municipalities set their priorities. Camrose County has set our long term capital plan based on council priorities and available provincial funding. In this instance however, the province is in fact setting the priorities for Camrose County," said Steve. "This is totally against what they have always said to us." This has major implications on all rural municipalities. Using a very high local improvement plan for the residents in New Norway would either be met with resistance, or the community would disappear. Borrowing money and spreading the costs to all county residents would also be met with petitions. "We could make changes to

our Long Term Capital Plan and add the New Norway infrastructure," explained Steve. "However, our next projects would have to be pushed back and other projects such as Pelican Point and Tillicum may be lost." Camrose County could set up a meeting with Mr. Griffiths to discuss this further, but his letter was clear that no money was coming to the county or New Norway. "We could seek some guidance from the AAMDC (Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties) because there must be other counties in a similar situation," suggested Reeve Don. Councillor Brian Austrom reported that other counties in the past received more funding. "Because of the budget of the day, we fall between the cracks and are left without funding to take care of the projects such as water and wastewater replacements. Three or five years also they received huge amounts of dollars," he added. "It is in the best interest of the AAMDC to get involved." The involvement of more people is needed. "Maybe a meeting with the AAMDC is in order to come up with a plan," said Steve. "Maybe they have an idea on how to approach this. If we go to the board, they can put it on as an emergency resolution. They have the power to do that and this is affecting everyone right now." The entire council was unified in taking a stance. "I'm going to move that we schedule a meeting with the AAMDC to discuss this further," said councillor Brian.

Province salutes local seniors with awards By Murray Green Two Camrose seniors and the Camrose and District Senior Society are among the 89 individuals and organizations that were nominated for this year’s Minister’s Seniors Service Awards. Award recipients will be honoured at a special celebration on June 5, during Seniors’ Week. Making a huge difference in the Camrose area are Wilf Maertens-Poole, Rosella Snopek and the Camrose and District Senior Society. Since returning to Camrose in 2004, Wilf has been very active in the community. Most notably, he has served as president of the Camrose and District Senior Society. Through his leadership, the membership has doubled in five years. Wilf also is involved in daily activities like setting up chairs and making coffee. Rose has been involved with the Camrose and District Senior Society since 2007. She is currently serving as the treasurer. Rose is also the organizer for Summer and Winter Games for Zone 4 of the Alberta 55+ Club. Camrose and District Senior Society is a wonderful place for Camrose seniors to find a warm and caring atmosphere. Many activities are offered such as cards, billiards, dance clubs, floor curling and scrabble. The membership is growing due to the hard working board. “These annual awards celebrate the dedication and commitment of Albertans who volunteer their time and energy in support of seniors,” said Fred Horne, minister of health. “Their efforts have a great impact on our communities and our province and they make a difference in the lives of seniors.” Nominees were evaluated based on their impact on seniors and the community; the need for the service they provide; and the measure of diversity, quality, and originality in their service. “All of the nominees are to be congratulated on their contributions,” added George VanderBurg, associate minister of seniors. “These individuals and organizations provide valuable services, which support our seniors and help improve their quality of life.”

Marshall family makes Mayor's Walk/Run a success By Murray Green

The sixth annual June Johns Memorial Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk/Run around Mirror Lake attracted 61 participants who raised more

than $6,595 for the Camrose Boys and Girls Club on Sunday, May 5. "For the third straight year Shayne Marshall and his family raised the most money for our club," said executive director Rees James. "Over the past three years, the Marshalls have raised over $8,000 for the club." Shayne raised $3,530, more than half of the amount, with the help of his parents Sherri and Nolan. He received an iPod Touch, iPad Mini and a Best Friend plaque for the work Shayne and his family did for the event. "Our son started out in the Boys and Girls Club and as our part of the volunteering obligation, we wanted to help with the Mayor's Walk and Run," explained Nolan. "Every year for the last four years, we have gone out and tried to find the most support we could for the event because we really believe in the Boys and Girls Club. It is a great organization and they have done so much for our son. Shayne loves it here. He does so well here and they treat him like family." Shayne has autism and often he is left out of events because people don't have the time or patience to include him in activities. "That is not the case here. He has been included in everything. Because of that, we, as a family, will do everything we can to help the club here in Camrose," Nolan added. "The run represents a good fund-raising event for the Boys and Girls Club. Anything we can do to help, we will do. It is a good event within the community and we are happy to

do our part in volunteering. It is our way of helping the community and giving something back," Nolan continued. Shayne started in the Kid Way program three years ago. However, because of his age (he is now 14) he had to leave the program. But, that didn't stop him from attending. "He graduated into becoming a volunteer for the Kid way program," said Rees. "He has been a great asset for us in the Keystone Volunteer Program and he enjoys helping the younger children. The whole idea of the Keystone program is to give back to the community." Shayne has an aid with him, so they both help with the Kid Way program. The

Marshall family all take part in the walk/run as well. "The run is usually on the same weekend as Shayne's birthday, so we end up having a full house. To help celebrate his birthday, several family members are involved to make it a family event," Sherri said. "We had five additional family members this year. My 87-year-old grandmother came out. She didn't walk, but she was out to support us. Our family is very close knit and they have seen how much he has grown because of the Boys and Girls Club and how he has become part of the community. Being accepted as being part of the community is the most important thing to us."

At first Shayne's parents forced him to go to the club. However, that soon changed and he rounds up his parents to get him over to the Boys and Girls Club. "The Keystone program is very important for us. Shayne has had the experience of coming here for three years and now this helps him in the volunteer program to assist us and others," said Rees. "We exist to help the community and make it stronger. To have someone go through the program and then volunteer means we are doing our job. When you have someone who doesn't want to leave, it makes our organization stronger." Shayne has grown as a

person through the local program. "He is partnering with other people. He is not being associated as having a special need. Shayne now comes here to help others by taking pictures, helping with the birthday bash and with the events. I can't talk enough about the Boys and Girls Club because of the positive transition that Shayne has had," said Sherri. The club has been tagged with the line that "it is a good place to be." Rees added that it goes further than that because it is a good place for people to be themselves. "Shayne has grown so much by being involved and it's a good feeling when he comes here. We find that if he misses a few days, over the weekend, he starts clapping like they do here," said Nolan. "I like going to the fieldhouse and playing soccer games with everyone," Shayne said. "He can't ride a bike, but the program has helped him roller skate, so he has learned a lot," said Sherri. The Boys and Girls Club offers both group and individual activities to get everyone involved. "We have something like 216 volunteers to help us. It's great to have that support, so we can give attention to everyone," said Rees. The top three Kid Way (after school program) members (ages 6 to 12) earned a free week in the summer program. Naomi Goliboski, Brooklyn Jober-Sutherland and Rory Wutzke were the top three. Every participant received a gift bag with a bracelet, hacky sack, pizza coupon and a water bottle. They were also treated to a picnic lunch. To help volunteer, contact the Camrose Boys and Girls Club.

Fire association delivers rescue bears to Stollery By Dan Jensen

Camrose Fire Association members delivered Fire Rescue teddy bears to the children of the Stollery Children's Hospital this past winter. "We went up with 85 teddy bears and by the time we left we didn't have any left," said Camrose Fire Association member George Parnall. The teddy bears were purchased by the Camrose Fire Association with the help of local businesses Crystal Glass, Charderry Septic Services, Timberline Roofing Inc., Co-op Gas Bar, Maximum Mechanical, J. Heating and Sheet Metal, D.S. Excavation Services and CK Installations and Enterprises. Camrose Fire Association is very familiar with the Stollery, which is Western Canada's referral centre for pediatric cardiac surgery and national leader in organ transplantation. Many of the association's members have had children go in and out of the Stollery over the years.

Thirteen-year-old Brayden Chalifoux received a shirt and a personalized fire helmet.

"As far as I am concerned it is the best facility out there for kids," said Camrose Fire Association member Cliff Walline. "I have seen what kind of kids are in there and

what they can do for them is pretty amazing." Camrose Fire Association members were unanimous in how impressed they were with the Stollery and the spirit of

the children with whom they played games and visited. "It is very difficult to see the children who are going through what they are, but we know it is the best facility of its kind," said Parnall. "It was nice to be able to bring smiles to the children's faces." Walline said visiting the Stollery has a way of putting life into perspective. "It makes you realize how lucky we are with our kids. I think the ones we visited at the Stollery were really responsive. I thought that was really good. There was one girl from my daughter's school who really attached herself to me. I pushed her around in her wheelchair and I made a phone call to her grandmother for her." One of the highlights of the visit for association members was the chance to meet with 13-year-old Brayden Chalifoux, who was going through some difficult times.

"We spent some time with him and presented him with a shirt and a personalized fire helmet," said Parnall. The Stollery Children's Hospital was made possible through the generosity of Bob and Shirley Stollery. More than 25 years ago, Bob met with concerned Edmontonians and pediatricians interested in improving children's health care in our region. They felt it was time to bring a children's hospital to Edmonton. The Stollerys promised to provide significant funding if such a hospital could be built. Giving well beyond a financial commitment, the Stollery family takes an active interest in the remarkable medical discoveries and improvements that contribute to the care of seriously ill children who travel from distant points for treatment. The Stollery operates as a separate facility in the Walter C. Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre.

bad beauty habits

Looking good and feeling healthy are top priorities for many women. In addition to spending hours researching the latest beauty regimens and spending thousands on products that promise everything from turning back the hands of time to making hair thicker and more resilient, women could be engaging in a few habits that may be doing more harm than good. Scrubbing skin Dermatologists say the skin naturally sheds dead cells, so for most people it is unnecessary to use harsh exfoliants or scouring pads to rid the skin of dead cells. In fact, exfoliating the skin too much can cause irritation and excess dryness over time. Try to exfoliate your face and body no more than twice a week, advises the American Board of Dermatology. Popping pimples Both women and men are guilty of popping pimples. It can be quite difficult to resist popping a pimple that has sprouted in the middle of your face, but doing so can cause irritation and spread bacteria, and you may end up getting more blemishes as a result. Wrapping wet hair in a towel turban Gathering wet locks together and twisting them into a towel is a recipe for damage and breakage. Wet hair is more delicate than dry hair, and it can stretch or break more easily. Gently squeeze hair dry with the towel and then use a detangling spray to make it easier to comb out knots. Failing to clean makeup tools All of those brushes, wands and applicators need to be routinely washed with a mild cleanser and allowed to air dry. Otherwise, they become harbingers of bacteria and even mold.

Poor washing habits Some women fall into bed at night without washing makeup from their faces. While this is alright once in a while, it may lead to irritation or blemishes over time. Surprisingly, too much washing of the face can be just as bad, especially if you are soaping up in the morning as well. Stick to washing your face at night so it can naturally restore itself while you sleep. Looking good requires effort, but some beauty habits popular among women might be doing more harm than good.

Seniors' Chat Minister of Health, Fred Horne recently announced plans to formalize the ‘first available bed’ policy that will allow for longterm care placement of up to 100 kilometers from a person’s facility of choice or home community. Minister Horne was quoted in a recent Edmonton Journal article as saying “... this is a necessary response to a temporary situation.” The practice of placing those in need of nursing home or longterm care into facilities outside their home communities has been happening for many years in Alberta. It has long since ceased to be a ‘temporary’ measure to deal with the backlog of people waiting for placement. Six years ago my mother was given no choice about placement into longterm care outside of this community, in her case, an hour away, while she waited for a local bed. I understood at the time, it had been a common practice for years.

Dodge Ram heavy duties Highest level of capability with best-in-class towing

By Dan Jensen

You won't want to miss the chance to test the 2013 Dodge Ram heavy duty trucks at Camrose Chrysler. The 2013 Ram heavy duty rises to the highest level of capability with best-in-class towing and bestin-class gross combined weight rating. The Ram 3500 claims a 30,000-pound trailer capacity thanks to a new class-exclusive 50,000 pounds per square inch, high-strength steel frame, improved transfer case, higher load transmission, and other significant driveline upgrades. Powertrain

A 5.7 litre HEMI V-8 in the Ram 3500 heavy duty pickup is standard equipment. Also standard in the Ram 2500 heavy duty, the engine produces 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and generates peak torque of 400 lb.-ft. at 3,950 rpm. The HEMI is mated to a 66RFE six-speed automatic transmission. Dominating the power charts, the renowned 6.7 litre Cummins high output turbo diesel I-6 is available in three versions. The first version is paired with Ram's segment exclusive six-speed manual transmission, which features a wear-compensating clutch for lifetime "like new" performance and a dual-trunion shift tower to accommodate a compact shift pattern. This combination delivers 350 horsepower at 2,800 rpm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a significant upgrade from the 2012 model-year maximum of 600 lb.-ft. The second option matches the Cummins to the 68RFE six-speed automatic transmission. The diesel engine cranks out 370 horsepower at 2,800 rpm with an unsurpassed in three-quarter ton trucks 800 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,600 rpm. Finally, an upgraded 6.7 litre Cummins high output turbo diesel I-6 for Ram 3500 is paired with a new Aisin six-speed automatic transmission (AS69RC), leaving no doubt to Ram's heavy duty capability. In addition to 385 horsepower at 2,800 rpm, the most powerful Cummins generates best-in-class torque of 850 lb.-ft. at 1,600 rpm. The transmission features wide gear ratios that contribute to upgraded shift performance, an approximate one per cent gain in transmission efficiency, and improved driveability when compared to the previous design. All 2013 Ram heavy duty diesels benefit from an all-new cooling system. A high-efficiency fan, dual radiators, dual transmission coolers and charge air cooler afford 25 per cent more heat-rejection capacity. Lower operating temperatures deliver improved performance, durability and lower operating costs. Diesel-equipped Ram heavy duty pickups feature an industry-exclusive Ram Active Air intake system, activated by new monitoring capabilities added to the engine controller. When the intake system senses extreme heat, it draws cool air from the front of the

vehicle, a function that also engages at high altitudes for superior throttle response in low oxygen environments. When conditions are wet from snow, ice or water fjording, the system pulls air from an underhood inlet clear from snow packing and water ingestion. The Cummins powerplants benefit from a larger exhaust-gas recirculation cooler, which complements the debut of selective catalytic reduction and accommodates a best-in-class oil change interval of 15,000 miles. Oil life is increased by reducing soot production and reducing fuel dilution of the oil. Engineering

Ram heavy duty trucks feature frames built with high-strength 50 KSI steel, including eight separate cross members, hydroformed main rails and fully boxed rear rails for optimal strength and mass efficiency. Wider front frame rails enable front suspension springs to be positioned slightly outboard, an enabler for generating more positive roll stiffness. The front suspension cross member is a two-piece welded component between the front axle and oil pan. Centre frame rail sections are roll-formed, an efficient means of maintaining consistent strength in less complex longitudinal sections. In the rear portion of the frame, the structure includes fully boxed rear rails and a factory-installed rear axle cross member with provisions for fifth wheel and gooseneck hitches. A front and rear suspension system with advanced geometry builds upon the chassis improvements and greatly improves roll stiffness. The 2013 Ram heavy duties feature a number of body improvements that enhance overall noise, vibration and harshness A capless fuel filter on diesel applications is a space saving initiative that enables side-by-side fuel and diesel exhaust fluid port configuration. The result is more convenient fuel and DEF re-fill at pump stations. Interior

Interior features on the Ram heavy duties

include material upgrades, improved fit and finish, HVAC controls and multimedia systems. The next generation 8.4-inch Uconnect system is tailor-made to specific Ram models and themes. The centre stack is upgraded with matching materials found throughout the Mike Cuthbert interior. The HVAC controls take Camrose Chrysler lessons learned from other Chrysler Group Uconnect applications and feature simple, improved function meeting the highest Human Machine Interface (HMI) standards. The HVAC system includes a redundant architecture, allowing the operator to use either the 8.4-inch touchscreen or manual controls to alter the truck's environment. Below the HVAC arrangement is a switch bank with relocated, easy-to-use controls for a number of features depending on vehicle models and options. The top row is for functional features and includes exhaust brake, tow/haul and electronic stability control. The bottom row also can be optioned as an auxiliary switch bank for all five spots. The console centre stack includes a 115-volt outlet and new drawer with a smooth, premium feel tool boxslide action. Uconnect supports Bluetooth-equipped cell phones with Message Access Profile advanced text messaging. This industry-first voice recognition uses the embedded connectivity to access cloud-based voice recognition and enabled advanced text messaging, which converts the spoken word into verbatim text messages. Communication is limited only by the user's vocabulary.

Concert in the Park June 4

The wheels keep turning for new Camrose Chrysler Sales Rep Ed Rye was sold on Camrose Chrysler long before he began working as a sales representative for the company. In 2003 he bought a car from Mike Rodin, who is now the dealer principal. It was a 300M and the best car he’s ever owned. “Never missed a beat,” says Ed. “and still going strong.” After a life of working in the oil patch and driving trucks, Ed decided to take it a little easier. All those jangled miles on the road were taking a toll on his lower back. However, life in his recliner was tougher on him than bouncing around on a long haul, so he picked up the phone and called Mike, wondering if they had any opportunities. A new door opened. “Here I am,” says Ed with a big friendly smile. “It’s a blessing.” He absolutely enjoys the work, meeting people and staying vital. If you’re looking for a new vehicle, give Ed a call. You’ll be impressed by how hard he’ll work for you.

Camrose and District Community Band members with the Rose Bowl they won at the 2012 Camrose and District Music Festival. By Dan Jensen

Camrose and District Community Band, under the direction of Tom Spila, will be conducting its annual concert in the park the evening of Tuesday, June 4. "We'll be setting up in Mirror Lake Park beside the Bill Fowler Centre and begin playing at 7:30," said Community Band president Ray Hook. "We'll be playing select tunes from its spring concert at Augustana in April. Camrose and District Band currently has 35 members, a number that grows to around 50 with students from the Augustana campus of the University of Alberta. "We start in September and end with the concert in the park," said Heck. Talent is not considered a pre-requisite for band membership. "We look for people who enjoy music and who enjoy playing in a band," said Hook. Camrose and District Community Band has had a successful past year. The band won the Rose Bowl at the 2012 Camrose and District Music Festival for best overall performance, and this year won the Music Festival's award for best community music. In April, the band took part in the Edmonton International Band Festival, an adjudicated event, where it received a gold rating. "We feel we are a good resource in the community and would like more people to know what we do," said Hook.

Axemen drop another late inning contest By Murray Green

A lack of closing pitcher has cost the Camrose Axemen again. This time the baseball team allowed four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to lose 6-4 at the hands of the Stony Plain Mets on May 22. Camrose holds a 1-3 record in the North Central Alberta Baseball League. All three losses were a direct result of a battered bull pen late in the game. Starting pitcher Cory Martz tossed four solid innings before having some trouble in the bottom of the fifth. He left the mound with a 3-2 lead. Cory allowed two unearned runs on two hits, one walk and one hit batter, while striking out four. Dan Enright came in relief and pitched one inning and gave up four earned runs on three hits, two walks and two hit batters, while striking out one batter. The Axemen out-hit Stony Plain with Paul Ofrim and John Kelndorfer each collecting two hits for the Axemen. Due to a combination of injuries and player commitments off

the field, the Axemen have yet to find a closer that can finish the game with a save. The Camrose offence came out strong with two runs in the first inning from Mets starter Mike Cote. Back to back singles by Kelndorfer, J.J. Straker and Dennis Landriault were the good start the Axemen were looking for after an eight-day layoff in the schedule. As the Axemen bats cooled in the later innings, Cote started to heat up on the Stony Plain mound. The Axemen scored a run in the fifth inning on a RBI single by Kelndorfer that drove in Blair Mulder. Another run was added in the seventh to give the Axemen a 4-2 lead with only three outs left. However, those outs never came. Martz took a no-hitter into the fifth before Brad McAdam hit a hard grounder that took a wicked hop to settle in for a hit. Although it is early in the season, Camrose will have to turn things around quickly to match its 14-4 record of last year.

The Camrose Roadrunners opened the Powerline Baseball League with a victory, but have fallen in the last two games. Camrose doubled up on the Bardo Athletics 6-3 on the strength of two pitchers combining for the victory. Alex Roth picked up the win and Josh Banack recorded the save. The Roadrunners lost 13-8 to the league champion Leduc Milleteers. Leduc sits in first place with three wins and a tie. Camrose also lost a 5-1 match to the Holden Blue Jays. The Armena Royals have

posted a 2-1 record with a 14-2 win over the Beaumont Angels, a close 9-8 win over Holden and a 17-8 loss to the Ryley Rebels. On Tuesday, May 28, Holden visits Leduc, Beaumont travels to Bardo and Camrose takes on Ryley. Camrose hosts the Bardo A's on May 30 beginning at 7 p.m. on Harry Andreassen Field in Kin Park. In other games, Leduc is in Armena and Ryley is at Beaumont. On June 4, Camrose heads to Leduc, Holden visits Armena and Ryley is at Bardo.

THE HEADPINS

Originally formed by Brian MacLeod and Ab Bryant as a sort of ‘side project’ from Chilliwack, the group was rounded out by drummer Bernie Aubin and Darby Mills, one of the west coast’s hottest new singers. Their impact was immediate even before they’d landed a record deal, quickly earning the reputation as one of the west coast’s most energetic and magnetic live groups. The band’s chemistry with the crowds was rivalled by few and they soon became one of the hottest commodities in Canadian rock, beginning with their first show in hometown Vancouver backing up Blackmore’s Rainbow in 1979.

Small Town Newspaper Catches Paper Thief Posted: May 23, 2013 5:45 PM MDT Updated: May 23, 2013 5:45 PM MDT

REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR.

by Shannon Royster TOMPKINSVILLE, Ky. - The Kentucky New Era has been around since 1869. The paper can be delivered to your home or buy it from one of 60 machines. “It is an honor system, we trust people are going to take what you pay for,” said Tony Henson, circulation director for KNE. However, back in 2011, Henson started noticing a great deal of dishonesty. “The cost of this to our company has been in excess to $30,000,” Henson said. “There comes a point where you have to take action.” And that’s exactly what they did. “We sat in our vehicles and we just monitored the racks,” he said. Their inner company “sting” operation got Rosetta Jackson arrested back in March. She pleaded guilty Wednesday for stealing 73 Kentucky New Era newspapers in one day. “In this case, we had someone who was paying for the opportunity to open the door, but not for everything that was being removed from the racks,” Henson said. They wondered why would one person possibly need so many newspapers? “We had tracked it to the dates that the coupons were in the newspaper,” Henson said. “That’s when the higher theft volumes were happening. On coupon days we were losing anywhere from 50 to 55 percent of everything we were putting in our machines locally.” So, even though it costs less than a dollar, that money adds up “Stealing is stealing whether its a nickel or 500 dollars,” he said. It’s a loss they said they weren’t willing to take. “We will absolutely prosecute you over a 75 cent newspaper,” Henson said.

Small Community Newspapers – a real steal! Some companies strongly suggest that the era of print advertising (newspapers) is over – if not over, on a steep decline. What you aren’t being told may be the bigger story. There’s two angles. First: those who like conveying this type of information are often in competing businesses – radio, internet, advertising, phone directory advertising sales, etc. Second: While daily subscription newspapers have, in many cases, lost subscribers because of their relative inability to compete with conveying breaking news information that matches the speed of the electronic media, small community newspapers remain trusted and popular in their respective home towns. Statistics, for example, prove The Camrose Booster and our content, remain the premier way for Camrosians and those who shop in Camrose to plan their weekly purchases. Our publication continues to be the best way for area residents to receive timely information pertaining to the ‘who, what, where and why’ of this city. The popularity of small town newspapers such as our publication is expressed in numerous and varied ways. The popularity of other newspapers is expressed alternatively, as the news article at left proves. We appreciate that we do not have such a weekly problem, but we are encouraged that consumers from all areas continue to love to get their hands on small town newspapers!

Davis runs towards zone events By Murray Green

Camrose Composite High School hosted the area track meet on May 22 in the second round of the senior high track and field season. The top athletes moved on to the zone meet to be held in Stettler on May 29. Junior aggregate winner Danton Davis led CCHS to several medals in the recent meet. Danton entered long jump, discus, 800 km 1,500 km and anchored the relay team at the area event on May 15. He placed first in the long jump, 800 km and 1,500 km to set a pace that was tough to follow after three events. The multi-talented athlete has something to prove to himself. "I want to be an all-around athlete and not just excel at one sport or one event," explained Danton. "Winning the aggregate is more important than the individual events because it shows you are a good athlete. That's what I'm building towards because it means the most to me." The highly skilled hockey player participates in track as another form of staying in shape in the off-season. "The long distance running events are my favourite, especially the 800 km, because it shows that I have more stamina and perseverance. It is also good cross-training for hockey," added Danton. Entering five events at the track meet tests Danton's moxy. "You do wear down a little at the end of the day, but my focus is on the aggregate and that keeps me motivated in all events." Danton also enjoys crosscountry running and skiing for staying in shape. "The longer events are not something you can just do. You have to train and work hard at it. I like the challenge to push myself as an athlete," he added. "My focus is on hockey, but this shows that I'm not just a hockey player, but a good athlete." Another factor is Danton's

willingness to compete. "Competing against others is always fun for me. Just going out in the warm weather and competing makes track fun. It can be nervewracking. I sometimes question myself why I want to compete in so many events. In the end, I'm always glad I did because of the accomplishments." Danton wants to make this year special for track in case his hockey calling takes him away from Camrose. "I'm looking forward to going on to zones in Stettler and hopefully to provincials as well. To place in provincials would be huge for me. This year is nicer because there is a lot more competition in high school and you can go on to zones and provincials. I like it more because you go up against better athletes and it's a bigger challenge." As the competition gets tougher, Danton may have to make a choice. "To compete in four or five events at zones and provincials may be too much to expect. Other athletes will be focusing on one or two events to do well at. I may have to narrow it down by one or two to give myself a better chance," he added. "I'll be running against club runners, so the competition really gets tougher. I might have to shave the events because I really want to do well in the 800 m. That is my favourite event." Making the jump to zones is huge. "My partner and I found that out in badminton. You go against people that participate in that sport all of the time on club teams. We lost in the semifinal crossovers against some good players. The same is true in track. I'm up against people who take it pretty seriously, like I take hockey seriously." Danton went to the Camrose Kodiaks spring camp and will soon be off to Prince Albert for a Western Hockey League camp. He is also planning to attend the Fort McMurray Oil Barons and Brooks Bandits camp before deciding his plans for next year.

Douglas Howard Curry Doug was born on September 24, 1954 in Camrose to parents Howard and Mary Curry. He was the youngest of nine children. He passed away peacefully at the Louise Jensen Center on Saturday May 18, 2013 at the age of 58 years. Doug met and married Carol Wancho in 1979, and to this union Doug welcomed Carol’s four children Donna, Debbie, Joe and Jo Ann. Doug and Carol made their home on a farm near Round Hill. Doug earned his Red Seal in cooking and applied his skills at Rosehaven Care Center. Doug was very meticulous about his cooking, and took pride in all meals he made. Doug retired from Rosehaven after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in December of 1984. Doug worked for a short time at Stelco before he and Carol took over the restaurant at the Windsor Hotel. Doug and Carol enjoyed their time cooking together and visiting with their customers and friends. Doug was very proud of his family. He told many stories of his duck hunting excursions with his father and brothers. Doug would get particularly excited when he and Carol hosted trap shoots for the family at the farm. Doug enjoyed hearing news of his family and attending his granddaughter’s wedding or being a great-great uncle to a set of triplets. He looked forward to visits from Joan and Ralph as they kept him well stocked in candy. Doug loved when Howard and Gail visited as he was never short of Calgary Flames memorabilia (more to “rub” Neil with) and a confirmed dinner of KFC. Doug always claimed that Humpty’s made the best steak and eggs, and he always seized the opportunity during breakfast to check in with Donna and Neil and on how his children were doing. Doug was always ready with a kind word or advice. He looked forward to visits by old friends from Viewpoint and to having an alliance with Ken and Helen at Louise Jensen to complain about the food being served. Doug loved music, especially Elvis, and also became a Shania Twain fan. Doug’s favourite pastime was to have a cold beer, a cigarette and company of good friends. Doug’s battle with Multiple Sclerosis was a long journey. He entered Norbo Long Term Care Center on July 11, 1999. He resided there until April 5, 2005 when he moved into a new facility, Viewpoint Assisted Living. He remained there until his health status changed, and he was transferred to Viking Extended Care for three months before entering Louise Jensen on January 15, 2007. Doug devoted some of his time at Louise Jensen to attending MS meetings with Pastor Norm. Doug found great comfort in Pastor Norm’s support. Doug encountered many peaks and valleys throughout his journey with MS. This past year Doug was plagued with many health issues associated with MS. Doug never gave up hope for a cure and faced his battles courageously while maintaining his sarcasm and sense of humour. Left to cherish his memory are his children Donna (Neil) Lehman, Debbie Marcinkoski, Joe Berget (Vance) and Jo Ann (Randy) Yaremovich; two sisters Joan (Ralph) Schierman and Gail (Howard) Witty; three sistersin-law Marion (Terry) Stewart, Betty Curry and Eunice Odland; seven grandchildren; one great-grandson; and numerous nieces, nephews, greatnieces and great-nephews. Doug was predeceased by his wife Carol; parents Howard and Mary; four brothers Daryl, Laverne, Jim and Donnie; and two sisters Florence and Alma. Doug, you will be greatly missed, but we understand that a soul can only fight so long before it tires. Rest peacefully. A Funeral Service was held on Thursday, May 23, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Norm Lentz officiating. Inurment followed in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the M.S. Society, or to a charity of your choice. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Stewart Johnston Mr. Stewart Johnston of Camrose passed away on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at the age of 59 years. Born in the spring of 1954, in the remote, and impossibly beautiful, hamlet of Spirit River in northern Alberta, a world away in time and circumstance, Stewart Johnston entered the lives of those who knew him as he was – sweet, kind, gentle and clever. For some brief months, Stewart lived with his family of four brothers Ramon, Hillis, Wayne and Allan, and one sister Janet; and parents Edwin Hugh and Martha C. on a farm four miles east of Belloy, Alberta (a townlet, even smaller than Spirit River). In the fall of 1955, the Johnstons moved to the big city of Edmonton, AB, where Stewart’s father, a veteran of the Canadian Army in World War II, found work as a nurse. Soon after, the family tired of the “big city” and moved to Ponoka, AB, a small, small town on the Battle River, where his father was employed as a nurse in the Ponoka Psychiatric Hospital, and Stewart grew from small boy to young boy. His father, ever the wanderer, moved the family from snowy, rural Alberta, to sunny, urban Southern California. Stewart, and various members of his family, lived in Valley Center, California, from 1962 to 1977. He matriculated through the local high school and on to community college. In 1976, Stewart experienced the joy of fatherhood, and named his son in his own image, Stewie. In the early ’90s, he returned to his Canadian roots to Camrose Alberta, the farming area where his mother and father began their odyssey, to help his elderly parents cope with getting older and to meet the woman with whom he would share his life, Marilyn. Stewart and Marilyn were married on Stewart’s birthday in 1992. During his years with Marilyn, Stewart experienced the joys and challenges of his growing extended family. Birthday celebrations and other holidays were noisy and there seemed to always be a “baby” for Stewart to hold and take pictures of. He worked hard and dutifully as a carpenter on many local construction sites. The changing seasons of rural Alberta were made especially poignant and meaningful through his eyes. Stewart Brian Johnston, who died on Saturday, May 11, 2013, was a wonderful man with gifts beyond others – gifts that were not always recognized, but intensely clear to all those who knew and loved him. The world will be a smaller, sadder place without his presence. We, those who knew and loved him, will never forget his spirit, his essence. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Marilyn; his son Stew (Annie) Montgomery of Valley Center, California; his four grandsons Isaac, Asher, Ryder and Noah; four brothers Ramon (Gwen) Johnston of Calgary, Hillis (Pat) Johnston of USA, Wayne (Karen) Johnston of USA, and Allan (Elizabeth) of USA. He is also survived by Marilyn’s children Tracy Kruse (Marty Fisch) of Hay Lakes, Lori (Glen) Erickson of Sherwood Park, Tina (Rick) Stang of Camrose and Crystal (Andrew) Koch of Camrose; 12 grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. Stewart was predeceased by his parents and one sister Janet Schoberg. A funeral service was held on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Inurnment took place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the charity of one’s choice.

“Build it and they will come.” The community of Round Hill is hoping that this prediction will prove as true for them as it did for Kevin Costner in the movie Field of Dreams. In early 2002, the Round Hill and District Agricultural Society had the opportunity to purchase approximately 10 acres of land from the estate of the late Stanley Banack that was adjacent to property the Ag Society already owned. When the transaction was officially completed, Annie Banack donated half of the purchasing price back to the society with the condition that a ball diamond be constructed on the site in memory of her late husband Stanley. Several years later the community organization felt they were in a position to develop plans that would not only include a ball diamond, but camping and other recreational opportunities as well. Step one was to create an aesthetically pleasing and functional piece of property on which to develop these facilities. A small land trade was completed with the Walter Nahirniak family to create this parcel. Dodds Coal Mine donated heavy equipment and qualified operators to do the initial levelling of the land. Later, Harts Construction of Tofield was hired to put the finishing touches on the contour of the project site. Grants were received from the County of Camrose and the federal government. Private and corporate donations were solicited and one hugely successful fund-raising event was held. As with any suc-

cessful community endeavor, hundreds of hours of volunteer time were also thrown into the mix. Now we are ready. On June 1, there will be a grand celebration to officially mark the completion of Phase One of the project, which is the regulation size men’s baseball diamond and the four- acre plot set aside for agricultural related activities such as the annual Threshing Day. Phase Two is a work in progress. To date, there are eight individual and one group camp sites supplied with power. Picnic tables, fire rings and grassed areas will be added in the near future. The celebratory day begins with a pancake breakfast running from 9 to 11 a.m. Family ball games start at 11 a.m. An Old Time Country Fair will be happening throughout the day. Activities include a bouncy house, glitter tattoos, face painting, a dunk tank, booths for lemonade, ball toss games, pie, coffee and a rock band competition with a television as the grand prize. There will also be a silent auction, beef on a bun supper, a beer garden and family dance. The ceremonies to officially open Stanley’s Field will be held at 5 p.m. Everyone is invited to stop and partake in some or all the events of the day. Scope out the facilities as a potential destination for a family reunion, a wedding celebration or a ball tournament. Gather your family ball players young and old and try the ball diamonds for yourself. For more information contact Marvin at 780-679-2214.

Watershed Streamers encourage a healthy environment Submitted

The Battle River Watershed Alliance (BRWA) will be hosting its second annual Rolling Down the River bike tour this June, travelling 500 km across the watershed in five days. The cycling Watershed Streamers will be starting at the Battle River Headwaters at Battle Lake on Sunday, June 9, and will finish in Edgerton on June 13. The tour is part of the BRWA’s goal to encourage "Whole Health," recognizing that we need a clean and healthy environment in order to

have vibrant communities and a strong economy. "The bike ride provides an opportunity for people to get active outdoors and experience the watershed in a new and exciting way,” said Nathalie Stanley. “The more we explore our Battle River Country the more we appreciate it. And on a bike you see things in an all new light, because we go so slowly.” During the inaugural ride in June 2012, the Streamers rode from the Battle Lake to North Battleford, SK, where the Battle

River joins the North Saskatchewan River. The trip was filled with laughter and encouragement, and incredible support from the funders and communities through which they passed, which is why they are doing it again. Participants will be travelling approximately 100 km each day, moving from the headwaters down through Wetaskiwin, Ferintosh, Bashaw, Halkirk, Coronation and Consort up through Czar and Provost. It won’t all be sweat, highways and sore

butts, however. Along the way, the group will be stopping daily to visit schools, municipal offices, and interesting sites such as the new wind farm around Halkirk to raise awareness of Whole Health, both with the cyclists and people they meet. The focus for this year’s bike tour will be local agriculture and the role it plays supporting communities and the environment. There will be many opportunities to see agriculture in action along the ride, and riders' menu will consist of many local products,

Meeting the bike tour challenge, from left to right, are David Samm, Nathalie Stanley, Shane Mascarin Andy Lamb, Tiffany McNaughton, Sarah Skinner and Helen Samm.

prepared by their travelling chefs Malorie Aube, the owner of Camrose’s own locally-sourced Country Accent Bistro, and retired caterer/BRWA board member Midge Lambert. Members of the Streamers will even be able to sample Ribstone Creek Beer brewed in Edgerton to celebrate the end of the trip. This tour is a great way to get active outdoors while learning about your community and the beauty of Alberta’s Parkland. The BRWA is inviting local community members to join the trip. You could be hard-core and go the whole 500 km, or join the team for an hour or a single day as they pass through your town.

Good turnout for Camrose Fly-in Breakfast

After a rather dreary Saturday weather-wise that resulted in the cancellation of the Camrose Cruise, the sun came out on Sunday for the fifty-sixth annual Fly-in Breakfast at the Camrose airport. Top left: one of the most popular aircraft was a Pilatus PC-12, a single-engine turboprop passenger and cargo aircraft manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. Above: Bruce Gair, from Wetaskiwin Aerial Applicators, brought his Air Tractor (AT-502B), an aircraft that was made in Texas. Bottom right: Trish Knudson and Ashley Swedberg (right) were busy serving sausage and ham to the more than 1,000 people who attended the breakfast. Proceeds from the breakfast were used to support the Camrose Fish and Game Association and the Camrose Air Cadet flying program. Bottom left: Kevin Boyko receives a close-up look at the engine of a Grumman Ag Cat, a single engine biplane agricultural aircraft developed by Grumman in the 1950s.

Seniors' Chat

Jams Pancake Syrups Saskatoon Pie Filling • No artificial preservatives • No artificial flavors, color, chemicals • Not processed … jams like your grandmother used to make • Lower in sugar than most brands • Comes in reusable sealers The difference will amaze you! We all know how food costs have risen dramatically! As no ingredient affects the taste of food like salt, it makes sense to use salt that enhances – rather than masks – the natural flavor of any food. The rich flavor of REAL SALT, rich in 60 natural trace minerals, means you’ll use less salt! It’s tastier and healthier and most customers call it amazing. “I don’t have any problem with my hands or feet swelling when I use Real Salt.” – L. Courtney, Burney, CA “Real Salt is the only salt I have used that doesn’t bother my blood pressure and also has great taste.” – E.Wilson,KansasCity,KS

CAMROSE GROVES’ VALUE DRUG MART 4911-50 Street, Camrose Ph. 780-672-2222

Currently in Alberta, there is a backlog of approximately 600 people waiting for long-term care placement. Those assessed at this level of care may be cognitively impaired and require round-the-clock monitoring or are chronically ill or profoundly frail so they need help with all daily life activities. Longterm care or nursing homes are medical facilities in which personal care and medical treatment costs are covered by public health care. The standards of staffing and services are legislated in the Nursing Homes Act. The current government‘s response to this ongoing backlog is to create more assisted living spaces – up to 1,000 this year. At best, it is confusing for the general public to understand levels of care offered by supportive or assisted living facilities but one thing is clear – they do not replace the need for nursing home or long-term care beds. The government has not followed-through on a key recommendation of its own ‘Long-Term Care Review’ completed in 1999. The review committee strongly stated that the existing backlog needed to be dealt with by increasing long-term care capacity before investing too heavily into public/ private partnerships to build assisted and supportive accommodations for seniors. Fourteen years later we still have a backlog, and many people who should be in long-term care are in hospital beds, which we all know directly impacts wait times in emergency rooms and hospital bed availability. We are all impacted by what is happening in elder health care today. We Albertans need to educate ourselves about these issues and demand of our government sustainable and compassionate policy decisions concerning these, our most vulnerable of citizens. We need to stop sending people away from their families and home communities. We need to create more long-term care facilities now. If you would like to learn more about these and related issues, we invite you to attend “Elders in Care: Starting the Conversation”, a Camrose Seniors' Coalition event on June 19, at the Camrose United Church, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. If you have any questions call Margaret Holliston at 780-672-0141.

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.

How Can I Stay on Track for Retirement?

Living paycheque to paycheque? Unexpected expenses regularly throwing your retirement savings goals off-track? This is a good time to schedule a financial planning checkup with a financial advisor. The key to staying on track for retirement is having a plan. And, contrary to what you may think, developing a proactive plan is just as important (perhaps more) when money is tight than when it’s not. A pro-active financial plan needs to be created, monitored and maintained to help you achieve your financial goals. So, how can a plan get you back on-track? First, working with a professional financial advisor will enable you to assess where you are today. Reviewing your current financial position with an advisor will help uncover any gaps and issues. Important questions include: • What are my current assets, including my investments and home? • How much do I owe? • What are my current monthly expenses? • How much am I saving each month? • Do I have the appropriate amount of insurance? Next, your advisor and you will talk about your future financial needs, including how much money you may need in retirement. Your plan may also involve developing strategies to improve your savings outlook and uncover any untapped opportunities. Most importantly, remember that a financial advisor is there to help you, and not to judge what you have or haven’t accomplished financially. To create your own customized investment strategy, speak with a financial advisor and start taking some small steps to greater savings toward your retirement or other life goals.

Q. A:

I’m having a barbecue this weekend. Can you suggest a drink that doesn’t take long to make and will be enjoyed by all?

You can whip up a Sangria in no time! Throw in chunks of just about any type of ripe fruit, or use non-traditional fruit like melon or mango. It’s perfect for get-togethers and you can make it faster than it takes to BBQ a hot dog.

Red Sangria - 1 bottle dry, light-bodied red wine (like a Beaujolais or Valpolicella) - 2 oz. orange juice - 1 oz. Grand Marnier or Cointreau - 1 tbsp sugar - 1 orange and 1 lemon, thinly sliced - Ripe orchard fruit wedges as desired (apple, peach, pear, plum, appricot) - Club Soda and ice

In a pitcher, mix together all ingredients. Before serving, add ice cubes and club soda to taste, a cup or more, depending on how sweet you like the sangria, and stir gently.

Q. A:

What are Lifestrength wristbands and what can they do for me?

“Lifestrength” wristbands have proven to be extremely popular and are highly endorsed by Dr. Oz. Your body’s cells naturally contain a negative charge. However, we are constantly exposed to the influence of positively charged electromagnetic signals every day from common household and workplace products (like cell phones and computers). Other elements in our environment such as dust and pet dander also carry a positive charge. Like a magnet, opposites attract, and your body pulls these positively charged ions towards itself potentially causing harm. A negative ion generator creates a “shield” of negative ions around you, deflecting those potentially harmful positive ions away from you. Lifestrength has combined 7 specific minerals charged with negative ions. These minerals are charged to a higher anion (negative ion) level and infused into the silicone of the wristbands to help restore your body to it’s natural state. Studies have concluded that anions will dramatically assist your health and wellbeing in the following ways: Emotional Stress: 25 out of 25 people tested with Seasonal Affective Depression found that anion treatment proves as effective against S.A.D. as antidepressants. Boost Immune System: Reduced incidents of headaches and sicknesses by 78% Anti- Aging: skin cells were replaced faster Better Sleep: those exposed to high levels of anions were able to sleep better Mental Performance: Anions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain resulting in higher alertness and mental energy.

How soon should I start planning Group Travel arrangements?

There is only one prudent answer to this question – it’s TODAY! A significantly healthier world-wide economy means people have really re-discovered the pleasure they get from travelling to wonderful and varied world-wide destinations. In recent days and weeks, professional travel counsellors in our office have had difficulty finding an adequate number of airline seats for group Christmas travel to places like Hawaii (extremely popular, again) and parts of Costa Rica and Mexico. Due to limited airline seats and hotels already being booked it is even becoming challenging to book large parties, reunions, corporate events and weddings for winter 2014! One of our clients ultimately decided to move a planned 2014 event to 2015 because her choices of airlines, and hotels had become so limited due to other reservations! At Marlin Travel Camrose we have earned an extremely positive reputation for our ability to plan and coordinate group travel. Impressive discounts are often available for bookings of 10 or more adults. It seems almost everyone interested in a destination wedding is using our service and for that we are very grateful! We can give you great advice on how to save money by booking early, saving on those nasty baggage fees and make suggestions as to how your long-distance travel will be more comfortable. For best travel memories, I personally invite you to count on my great team! Answer provided by:

I have ringing in my Ears? What can I do?

For many, there are no sounds of silence. Instead, even the quietest of moments, such as sleep, can be filled with buzzing, humming or ringing sounds. This unfortunate condition is called tinnitus and, according to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, it has affected nearly 25 million North Americans to date. Presently, no treatments are available to cure this condition. Tinnitus is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises but also can stem from aging, head injuries or side effects from medications. For many of those afflicted, the impacts can be grave as the perpetual ringing can cause difficulties in concentration and sleeping. While there are no curable options, different treatments can be used to help ease the suffering from the condition or help reduce the degree to which it is prevalent. These treatments include counseling to help in coping with the effects of tinnitus, and sound therapy, using subtle background noises to lessen the effects. In some cases hearing aids have been able to help provide relief through amplification of other sounds. If you or someone you know suffers from ringing in the ears, we want to help. We can readily supply more information or schedule a hearing evaluation and consultation. Answer provided by:
