Parents, students rally to protest education cuts

Parents and students rallied outside the Battle River School Division office last week to protest cuts in education funding. By Dan Jensen

Students and parents from New Norway, Bashaw, Killam and Sparling schools waved signs reading "By taking away my teachers you are taking away my education," and "I deserve an education," and chanted "no more cuts" in a rally outside the Battle River School Division office June7. "We're concerned about all the cutbacks that are happening in the schools," said Jayne Gendreau, a parent at Sparling. "They're going to affect all the kids to some degree." Susanne Schueller, a parent at New Norway School, expressed concern over the growing size of the classrooms. "We have just one teacher for 30 kids," said Schueller. "I don't know how that can be." Suggestions by demonstrators on how to reduce the impact of funding reductions on the classrooms ranged from closing the exchange program and having professional development days that are closer to home, to spending less on books for the youngest students. "Every (elementary) school receives dollars for library books, which is a good idea, but they are for the younger students," said Gendreau. "If there is not going to be any librarians, teachers or teachers' assistants to help read these books to the kids, it is kind of useless (to spend the money). "The money could be used somewhere else." Lori Pearson, a parent at Bashaw School, said she would like to see the government reconsider how education fund-

Desyrae and Keandra Leclercq let it be known that they are the future of education.

ing is distributed to rural schools and rural communities. "There is a major difference between rural and urban schools," she said. Battle River School Division communications coordinator Diane Hutchinson said the division is always willing to speak to individual parents or groups who wish to express concerns or have their questions answered. "These parents are very focused on their own children, as all parents should be, and that they are worried about the future. Our school division has concerns about the future as well. We (the divi-

sion) are responsible for between 6,300 and 6,400 students and several hundred employees. We have a responsibility to our kids, to our staff and to our communities that we don't ever take lightly. We have to think about the big picture and move forward in a way that makes sure all our kids have the best possible education that we can give them with the dollars that we have." Battle River School Division board chair Cheryl Smith said two weeks ago that the BRSD and other school divisions are currently negotiating with the provincial government to provide a predictable, stable and consistent funding as they move forward, so there are not as many ups and downs from year to year. She said one of the biggest challenges that faces most rural school divisions is declining populations, and the fact that more students are graduating from rural schools than are entering them. In Battle River School Division, for instance, the number of students who will be going to school next fall will be 215 fewer than it was at the start of this school year. "The funding we receive is directly tied to the number of students that we have," said Hutchinson. "If the number of students declines by 3.3 per cent the funding that we receive from the government goes down by 3.3 per cent as well. We see a need to have some kind of base funding that isn't dependent on enrollment and which acknowledges the reality of rural schools in a different way." Battle River School Division received a 4.54 per cent increase in funding from the government for 2010-2011 that was enough to cover a previously negotiated increase in teacher salaries but nothing

more. In addition to that, the government reduced grant funding in other areas by $1.1 million. The result is that BRSD (and other school divisions across the province) have been forced to dip into dwindling reserves and eliminate positions. "Last year we reduced staff through offering early retirement incentives, eliminating 20 bus routes, eliminating a division principal, reducing school support positions and contracting out our courier service in hopes of keeping the cuts away from the classrooms as much as possible," said Hutchinson. "This year we are cutting the number of division-wide staff, the transportation and maintenance crews, and further reducing school support positions. We’re also reducing the amount of dollars allocated to such things as professional development, but in a school division that is all about education, we can't completely stop training people." BRSD expects it will have to reduce the number of teachers by 38 before the next school year begins. "Most of that reduction has happened through the elimination of temporary or probationary contracts and people moving on," said Hutchinson. "We did have 21 teachers on continuing contracts that we had to send letters to in the spring saying that we might not have a role for them anywhere in the division next year. Of those 21, eighteen have now received positions within the school division. Our hope is that we can make all the teacher reductions that we need to make by not filling the vacancies of those who retire or move on. The teacher issue is being resolved for the most part without having to actually let anybody go."

Relay for Life committee plans for a busy night By Murray Green

Raising funds can be fun and Relay for Life organizers want to make it a fun experience for participants. The ninth Relay for Life will be held on June 17 at the Camrose Regional Exhibition. "We start with a VIP Survivor Dinner with 220 people, and then at 7 p.m. we begin with a survivor lap that kicks off 12 hours of fun and fundraising," said Camrose chair Shauna Arrowsmith. "Eight-year-old team captain Desyrae LeClercq is the leader of the team “Butterflies of Hope.” She had a vision to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society in this year's Relay for Life, and spearheaded putting a team together, in memory of her loving grandmother, Gwen Sandstrom, whom she lost to cancer over two years ago. Gwen was very proud of Desyrae, and we on the Camrose Relay for Life Committee can see why; she is a little go-getter, raising $1,060 on her own to date. Her initial goal was $500, and she far exceeded it. She is such an inspiration," said Shauna.

The committee has 22 teams with 217 participants involved in the relay. Relay for Life will start the fundraising with about $14,000 collected so far. "One thing we want to do this year is encourage eeryone to participate. If they are individuals or didn’t have enough for a team, then we found a match or put two groups together to form a team. The idea is to meet people and have fun." Last year the Camrose event raised more than $85,000. The Camrose committee members are chairperson Shauna Arrowsmith, Connie Kosinski, Krista LeClerq, Carol Brady, Joanne Morrison, Terri Thengs, Crystal Nahajowich, Jennifer Flint, Lisa Kayfish and Sandy Shaing. "Crystal Nahajowich, our Honorary Chairperson, and co-founder of the Calendars for Cure has also been an inspiration. Crystal came to us with the team 'Calendar Girls' and has not only raised thousands with the Calendars for Cure launch, as well as numerous fundraisers to support it, but she is a ball of energy,

and has such an eager willingness to help, even in the face of personal crisis – losing her beloved father and avid supporter only a few weeks ago. The committee offered her an out, and would have totally understood if she had taken it, but her determination to see this through has been second to none. Crystal is a Survivor in more ways than one," said Shauna. The web site to register to participate, volunteer or purchase luminaries is www.relayforlife.ca Information is available at Creative Bedrooms, Pharmasave, Scotiabank, Camrose Canadian and CAM-FM (registration and volunteer forms only at this location).

Lighten, brighten and tighten your skin

We’ve Got a Beef …freezer – that, sadly, …

is empty. The other almost empty. Same goes for our storage facility for poultry and pork.

“It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances.” – Oscar Wilde Mr. Wilde’s sense of humor notwithstanding, your appearance is definitely being noticed by all with whom you come in contact. It can’t be helped. People look at you, they notice what you’re wearing, they see your smile, your laugh lines, those cute little wrinkles at the corner of your mouth, the furrow between your brows. They probably have a pretty good idea of your age.

Demand is signiﬁcantly up at Camrose and District Food Bank Our carefully screened clientele Bank. is doing everything possible to work their way out of critical family situations, misfortune and, as we see often, under-employment in a sad myriad of minimumwage or low paying jobs.

Here’s a way you can change their perceptions. Your skin doesn’t have to look as old as the age on your passport. With a gentle chemical peel you can turn back the clock, reduce fine wrinkles, regenerate and rejuvenate your skin so it appears tighter, brighter, younger. Dr. Neetu Saini is introducing a chemical peel technique using one of three formulations: glycolic acid, TCA or Jessner’s peel. These physician-strength solutions act to give your skin a smoother feel, cleansing pores and treating some types of irregular skin pigmentation. A peel can remove superficial damaged skin, revealing healthy glowing skin in as little as four or five treatments.

Imagine being in these life situations. Often children in such homes are the ones who suffer the most.

Dr. Neetu Saini, MD Family Medical Doctor

We need your donations of chicken, pork, lamb and beef.

A consulting physician to Dr. Saini is joining Jeunesse Aesthetic Solutions as a consulting physician, Jeunesse Asethetic Solutions. assisting patients with ways they can improve their appearance, whether through a gentle chemical peel, a Botox treatment or a dermal filling wrinkle reducing session.

If you recognize you are “more blessed” than those who count on Camrose and District Food Bank for mere survival, consider making a donation. If you are a farmer or rancher and are in a position to donate a live animal to us, we will pay for pick up and processing costs. For this we use cash donations which we have gratefully accepted.

“Patients see me for their skin problems,” says Dr. Saini, who is accredited by the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine. “I advise whether they would benefit from a peel or another type of treatment. I give recommendations, with no commitment required. The first visit is strictly a consultation as the patient and I get to know each other and what I may be able to offer.” “I have always been fascinated with aesthetic medicine, much as I am passionate about my women’s clinic. Seeing a woman looking her best brings me fulfillment. Life can be so much more enjoyable when you look and feel your best.” If you would like to learn more about the different options available for healthy skin care treatments and other services provided by Dr. Saini, call Jeunesse Aesthetic Solutions at 780.679.2556.

We use government inspected processing plants. We always provide charitable receipts for your generosity.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER June 14, 2011

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Road widening underway Motorists can expect speed limit reductions, detours, and periodic lane closures on Highway 13 between Bawlf and Ohaton. Work is underway to widen 20 kilometres of Highway 13 and widen and rehabilitate five culverts and/or bridges along the

stretch. Gravel detours will be in place at the culvert and bridge sites and the speed limit will be reduced to 50 km/h in the construction zone. The $16.6-million project will be completed by Oct. 15, weather permitting. Motorists may wish to use

Highways 26 or 854 as alternate routes to avoid the construction. Motorists should use caution in the area and obey all signs, message boards, and flag people. Motorists are reminded that fines for speeding are doubled through construction zones when workers are present.

Augustana celebrates 100 years; is a living legacy of its founders

The Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta had a wonderful homecoming weekend, June 3-5. It marked the institution’s 100th anniversary and culminated with the conferring of degrees on the 2011 graduands as well as the conferring of one honorary Doctor of Laws degree. The combination of these two events draws one’s thoughts in two directions: one to the past as we review the history of the institution, and one to the future as another fine group of alumni go on to other experiences. In looking both ways, we see that the past and the future are connected. Looking to the future first, I congratulate the new alumni for obtaining their degrees. It took long hours of study and no doubt some worrisome moments along the way. I am an alumna myself and give Camrose Lutheran College (later Augustana Campus of the U of A) credit for greatly enhancing my life. I trust that each of the new alumnus/a feel the same and will go forth eager to be proud ambassadors of Augustana. Several speakers during this anniversary and convocation weekend reflected very much the vision of the founding fathers of what is now Augustana. In part, the founders’ dream was a liberal arts school “seeking to steer students away from selfish materialism and heartless utilitarianism.”* Craig Kielburger, recipient of the honorary Doctor of Laws degree, made clear his view that success lies not in the size of one’s car or accumulation of wealth, but in “having a life larger than ourselves.” He added, “People are ultimately remembered for how they choose to use their gifts and talents to touch the lives of others.” At the age of 12, in 1995, he formed a group called Twelve Twelve-year-olds, which, unbelievably, has now grown to one million young people building schools in 45 developing countries. It’s called Free the Children. “The change starts within each of us,” he says passionately, “and ends only when all children are free to be children.” University of Alberta President Indira Samarasekera endorsed the sentiments of giving when she encouraged the graduands to imagine a better world,just as the founders of Camrose Lutheran College (later Augustana) had done – and of which they were now the living legacy. Under the influence of Augustana Dean Dr. Roger Epp and others, Augustana has moved aggressively in the promotion of community service learning opportunities both at home and abroad. Through this program, students are able to obtain credits for volunteer community service which applies their academic knowledge to real life situations. Odessa Sherbaniuk of Round Hill and graduate of Bawlf High School, was the recipient of the Augustana Medal for highest academic standing and also earned a community service learning certificate which involved 50 hours of volunteer work, an international exchange in Mexico, and a three-week study in India. She believes that formal education “is not just completing assignments but in applying the learning in your life.” She also observes that development work is needed not only in far away places but also close to home in Canada and even Camrose. Those kinds of thoughts and attitudes of today’s graduands would surely get the nod of satisfaction from the founding fathers of 1910-11. Yes, much has changed in a century but, thankfully, the original mission is still recognizable and the institution is still committed to holistic, life-changing education. In conclusion, I want to pass on to Augustana’s new alumni words of wisdom once delivered by Dr. Albert Schweitzer to a graduating class. To fully appreciate his words, one must know that he was a scholarly philanthropist, very knowledgeable and experienced in a number of disciplines, and recipient of the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 77. He told the class, "I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know is that the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.” I wish each new grad real happiness and success. You are the legacy emanating from the vision and aspirations of Augustana's founders. * Augustana Professor John Johansen’s History of Augustana.

Letters to the Editor Bill 10 repeals Bill 36 Section 5.1 substitutes two clauses stating that the Stewardship Minister must a) “ensure that appropriate consultation” has been carried out…” and b) be laid before the Legislative Assembly. “Appropriate consultation” according to who/whom? (…a sticking point, when landowners equate “consulting” with “insulting,” thereby begging the question as to what and who determines what is “appropriate.”) No “clarity” offered there. Dear Editor: Moreover, and perhaps I am responding to the (May most important, any changes/ 31/11) Ealey article, Changes contradictions created by Bill 10 offer some clarity. “change” and “clarify” nothing, Bill 10 “does not ensure a because Bill 10 does not repeal transparent/accountable region- or amend Bill 36 Section 17(1), al planning process,” and we which states: “…if there is a condon’t care if Bill 10 tries to clarify flict or inconsistency between a) the “original intent” of Bill 36. a regional plan and a regulation We focus on what these Bills made under an Act, the regional actually state – not their ”intent.” plan prevails; b) a regional plan Bill 10, Section 11 (1) amend- and a regulatory instrument, ed “extinguish” to “rescind.” The the regional plan prevails.” If/ dictionary defines those words when there is conflict in any as “to put an end to, destroy” legislation, Bill 36 and the “plan” and ”to make void, annul.” Bill still prevail. 10 offers no change, or clarificaAs to Ealey suggesting tion, there.

dent capacity school in Bawlf will not be full (it currently only has 289 students), it is hard to reconcile building a new school in Bawlf, unless this actually bodes of closures and consolidation – in other words, the closing of more outlying schools and busing those students to Bawlf. The 60-year- old Bawlf School has no disability access ramps, some out-dated electrical wiring, and mechanical/heating problems, so some renovations are in order, and modernization would make more sense. Who will staff the 22 new schools, as 1,000 teachers are cut? These schools will be understaffed, and lacking students. They will basically be partially empty, just as many of the existing rural schools already are. What kind of logic is that? The technical carrots/candies (e.g. laptops for every student) incumbent in “new” schools may be enticing, but that is not what produces critical thinkers and scholars who subsequently take leadership roles in building this province. Our Bawlf School has an incredible history of student successes and scholarships, thanks to quality teaching staff and reasonable class sizes. This PC government seeks to undermine that by cutting education funding (which results in cutting teachers and creates larger class sizes) and cutting grants – and then offering new schools as sops – which truth be told, may at first seem like exciting news for some. But, when examined in light of “proof of need,” the “return” on the dollars being expended, and the underlying political motives, this announcement loses its charm. Students’ potentials will still only be realized as dedicated teachers, on a one-to-one basis, encourage them to think (perhaps even examining current politics by down-loading and reading some Bills, and following various Party Leadership races) and learn to take part in a healthy democratic society that provides for and protects the rights of all Albertans. There is much to be learned in an interactive politically-aware classroom. These lessons may not be text-book, curriculumbound testable learning, but they create well-rounded citizens prepared to contribute in whatever situations they find themselves, despite perhaps not having a “new” school and what Mr. Danyluk refers to as the “latest technology.” Marion Leithead, Bawlf

Wild Rose Co-op

Camrose hosting Five Peak running series By Murray Green

The Camrose ski trails will be used this summer by about 400 people for a running race on Saturday, July 16. The race starts at the biathlon stadium and opens with a long downhill run into the valley and winds through the ski trails.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and then the Scotiabank Children's Challenge starts at 9:30 a.m. After a pre-race briefing, the main race begins at 10 a.m. A prize and awards ceremony follows at 12:30 p.m. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in each age category, in all

distances, as well as to the top three male and female finishers overall. The children's race is one kilometre, the sport course is eight km and the enduro course is 12.5 km. First aid and water stations will be set up for the runners. First aid attendants will be located throughout the

course with radio communication. A course sweep will travel behind the last racer. Due to racer safety and the number of participants, no dogs, headphones, strollers or baby joggers or nordic walking poles will be allowed. Spectators are welcome at the start/ finish area.

It's getting a little more difficult to find an apartment in Camrose. Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation's spring rental market report shows that the private apartment vacancy rate in April, 2011, was 6.4 per cent, down from 9.9 per cent in April 2010. Two-bedroom apartments seem to be the most popular, as vacancy rates dropped from 11.4 per cent in April, 2010 to 7.3 per cent. The vacancy rate for onebedroom apartments dropped to 4.5 per cent, compared to 7.8 per cent in April, 2010. The vacancy rate for threebedroom apartments stayed the same at 4.5 per cent. The rate for bachelor apartments rose from zero in April, 2010, to 14.3 per cent, although of the seven bachelor apartments listed as being available in April, 2011, only one was vacant. Fourteen of the 310 one-bedroom apartments were listed as available, while 49 of the 670 twobedroom apartments were listed as being available. Of the 22 three-bedroom apartments, only one was listed as being available. The apartment vacancy rate for Camrose is the same as it is for Lethbridge, Okotoks and Red Deer. Sylvan Lake had the highest vacancy rate in April, 2011 at 22.1 per cent, followed by Lacombe at 11.7 per cent and Brooks at 11.1 per cent. The lowest vacancy rates were in Calgary, at 3.4 per cent, and Canmore at 3.9 per cent. The average apartment vacancy rate in Alberta's urban centres declined to 4.7 per cent in April, 2011, down from 6.0 per cent in April, 2010. "Of the 17 markets surveyed, 10 reported lower vacancy rates, compared to April, 2010," said the report. "The reduction in vacancy is largely attributed to increased employment levels and gains in international migration." The average rental rates for private apartments in Camrose rose from $733 in 2010 to $751 in April, 2011. Two-bedroom apartment rates went from $771 per month to $799 per month, while bachelor apartment rates dropped from $581 to $571. Rental rates for one-bedroom apartments went from $653 in April, 2010, to $646, while rental rates for three-bedroom apartments dropped from $883 to $842. The average rental market rate across Alberta rose from $937 to $941. A rebound in drilling activity forced the vacancy rate in Grande Prairie down to 5.5 per cent in April, 2011, down from 14 per cent in April, 2010.

graduate from high school at your own pace Wildrose Co-op east side gas bar manager Gina Keltie (right) presents a cheque for $2,000 to Susan Mortenson, chair of the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta Camrose Mental Health Campaign. By Dan Jensen

The two Wildrose Co-op gas bars in Camrose were big supporters of the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta's soon to be completed Supporting Mental Health campaign. Staff at the downtown and east side gas bars sold 1,000 "paper people" at $2 apiece before presenting a cheque for $2,000 to the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta May 19. "It's a tribute to our customers who put up the $2," said Gina Keltie, supervisor of the east end gas bar. "They were so cooperative when the staff asked if they would like to make a donation." A total of 270 of the "paper people" were sold at the downtown gas bar, while 730 were sold on the east side gas bar. The money raised will allow the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta to increase awareness about schizophrenia. "We want to show that schizophrenia is not restricted to a particular culture or race," said Susan Mortensen, chair of the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta Camrose Supporting Mental Health campaign. "It's something that affects one per cent of the population throughout the world." Mortensen expressed appreciation to the Co-op customers and employees for making the campaign a success.

We do not believe that rack delivery will provide our rural readers with the convenience and accuracy of delivery that you deserve. However, if a general strike is called, this delivery alternative will be our only option. This temporary solution will only be implemented if absolutely necessary.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Beautiful home in a great location

Darrell Rosland

By Murray Green

Hate mowing lawn? Then a park-like rock garden in both the front and back yard is just what you need. This beauty is located in the quiet Montrose neighbourhood, in one of the prime crescent locations in Camrose. You will be impressed with the four-bedroom 1,040 square foot bungalow home, which has had modern upgrades such as windows, hardwood flooring and shingles. It is conveniently located near schools and recreation facilities. The entry takes you into the bright living room with a big picture window overlooking the crescent park area. It leads to a spacious dining room and a bright handy kitchen. The kitchen provides a bright, cheery atmosphere for preparing meals. It offers both counter and cupboard space. A decorative opening in the wall makes for easy communication between the living room and kitchen, while also adding style. Two good-sized bedrooms and a four-piece

bathroom complete the main level. The attractive developed basement contains a huge family room with an electric fireplace, a bar area and plenty of wide-open space for relaxation. An additional bedroom, a three- piece bathroom, a utility room and storage space are offered in the basement. Step out the back door into your own little park. The large fenced lot is landscaped with trees, rocks and flower beds. The very attractive rock garden is mixed with landscaping materials and many gorgeous perennials. The lovely paving stone patio overlooks the beautiful rock garden. There is also a single heated garage with a carport. Two front sitting decks allow you to enjoy the weather and the peaceful surroundings among rocks and shrubs that let you escape mowing the lawn.

Members of the Camrose Camera Club showing and explaining their photos. By Kaylyn Jackson, Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society

Great horned owls, squirrels, monkeys, whales and more. Last Tuesday at the Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Societies’ Nature Travel Log Night, people were treated to a variety of wonderful wildlife photos. Representatives from the Camrose Camera Club presented nature photos from all over the world. The presentation focused on taking nature and wildlife photos while travelling and also gave many useful tips, the most important being never leave home without a camera. Barb Frank, one of the members who presented, showed a magnificent photograph of a black bear. She explained how they had come across the bear while on a hike and how even though the bear wasn’t acting threatening or aggressive they had respected its space and, after taking its picture, they had turned around and hiked back. When taking pictures of wildlife it is important both to stay safe and to disturb them as little as possible. Many animals will run, fly or swim away when humans approach so, in order to get a picture, have your camera out, turned on and ready and then slowly and quietly approach the animals. A useful tip for taking pictures of bugs or small animals is to have them in a hand or next to a pencil so that it is easier for people to tell their size when looking at the picture. But as said by Al Zimmerman, another Camera Club member, as prepared as you are when it comes to getting the perfect photo, it's 90 per cent lighting and 10 per cent luck. Be sure to keep an eye out for future displays and photography shows put on by the Camrose Camera Club. More information on the group can be found at www.camrosecameraclub.net Join us next Tuesday, 7 p.m., at the Stoney Creek Centre, for our next presentation: the Watershed Walk and Talk. Learn about the importance of keeping your watershed healthy and discover where your water comes from before it ends up in your taps. For more information on the summer environmental education program schedule of the Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society, you may contact Kaylyn Jackson the summer coordinator at 780-672-0544.

The Camrose Running Club has had a lot of success this spring with marathon victories. Brendan Lunty has led the way with two major running wins at events held in Western Canada in May. After winning the Red Deer Marathon on the May long weekend, he ventured to Saskatoon to place first in the Saskatchewan Marathon, the province's top event of the season. Lunty actually started the year with a Camrose Spring Runoff event win in early May. "It was the first time I won the event. We have a lot of good runners in the city, so I don't usually win that one," said a modest Brendan. "I had a good time. I took off about a minute from last year. In Red Deer, I ran it in two hours and 42 minutes. It was a little slower for me, compared to last year, but good enough I suppose." About 165 people entered the full marathon. "Robert Renman of Camrose won the half marathon so that was a nice accomplishment. In fact, Andrew Pohl of the Augustana running and biathlon teams came in second in the half marathon, so Camrose was well represented." About 15 to 20 runners from Camrose entered the various categories and they also had good showings. "My wife finished the event two months after having a baby, so I was proud of her," he added. "In Saskatoon, only three of us went. Mary MacArthur ran the half marathon and Kathy Nagy entered the 10 km event. I did well there and my time was two hours and 35 minutes, so I was very happy with that win. The day was absolutely perfect, a little cooler for running."

Seven members of the Camrose Running Club will be entering the Sinister Seven event in Crowsnest Pass on July 9. It is a relay of over 100 kilometres. "A bunch of us will enter a team. We won it last year, so hopefully we can do it again," said Brendan. "Then we host a cross-country series event the week after. It is called Five Peaks and they have a race in Central and Northern Alberta. It will be really exciting to host the event and be able to run through our ski trails. It is fun to run through the valley instead of just on streets. I like the cross-country courses and mix it up. I enjoy them all, I just like running. Variety keeps it fresh." Lunty has entered the Boston Marathon twice. Although he hasn't ruled out entering it again, he would prefer to participate in the New York Marathon the next time he heads to the east coast. However, this year he will be sticking to the prairies with his wife and three-month-old child. "This is a stay close to home year and I don't mind that. We have a lot of good competitions right here in Western Canada and in Alberta," said Brendan, after his early dominance this spring. "There are so many races out there, that I like to try new ones and I enjoy going to different places." He has one exception. Lunty is on a mission to enter the Edmonton Marathon in August. "I won it last year, so I want to go back this year and do it again." The Camrose Running Club meets every Saturday morning at 8 a.m. by the Stony Creek Centre for a fun run. Brendan encourages other runners to meet and participate in the sport.

Augustana confers honorary degree on children's activist By Dan Jensen

Let’s stay connected A message for AMA members and friends

The University of Alberta conferred an honorary Doctor of Laws degree on Free the Children founder Craig Kielburger at Augustana's June 5 convocation. Free The Children is an international organization that has one million young people in 45 countries, building over 500 schools and implementing projects in 45 developing countries. The organization also provides active citizenship education programs in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom, reaching 3,500 school groups annually. Its We Schools in Action Program includes tens of thousands of young leaders who yearly provide over one million hours of community service. Free the Children goes back to 1995, when Kielburger, who was then 12, saw a headline in the Toronto Star about a Pakistani boy his own age who had been murdered for speaking out about child labour. Angered by the article, Kielburger began researching child labour, gathered friends his same age, and founded a group called Twelve Twelve-Year-Olds. In December 1995, Kielburger travelled to Asia with Alam Rahman, a 25-year-old family friend from Bangladesh, to see the conditions for himself. While there, he learned that then Prime Minister of Canada, Jean Chrétien, was travelling to India. After During the postal strike, you may not receive information from the Alberta Motor Association by Dr. Craig Kielburger being denied a meeting, Kielburger mail — or it may be delayed.

It can be tempting to forget everything learned For more information on how we can stay connected, in university except the simple formula MBA = BMW. Yet visit ama.ab.ca/PostalStrike or your nearest centre. we believe that the mark of true success is something more meaningful, more lasting – it is leaving a legacy. This does not mean having a street named after you or founding a company beginning with your initials. Few can remember the names of history's kings and queens. Statues crumble. Even the pyramids are covered by the sands of time. A true legacy is a living legacy. Every time a person of colour sits at the front of the bus we see the legacy of Rosa Parks. Every time a woman casts a ballot we see the legacy of the Famous Five. If you are important in the life of a child you will leave a legacy. If you bring purpose, meaning and joy to your family, you will leave a legacy. Just think, Terry Fox's mother lived an amazingly successful life, as did Nelson Mandela's father. The true secret of success lies in living a life larger than ourselves. People are ultimately remembered for how they choose to use their gifts and talents to touch the lives of others. As graduates of the centenary class of Augustana College you carry the legacy of your illustrious alma mater. As you set forth to create your own legacy in life, I ask you to think about those legacies while forging your own path." To commemorate the awarding of the honorary degree, the University of Alberta Senate donated the volume Charles Dickens and the Yorkshire Schools (London, Chitwick Press, 1918) to the Bruce Peel Special Collections Library. According to the spring convocation program, Charles Dickens frequently included child characters in his fiction, and because he was all too familiar with the horrors of child labour, he had hoped that his writing would improve the lives of children. The book includes Dickens' letter in facsimile that tells of his trip to Yorkshire, where he bears witness to the dreadful conditions of students there. The presentation of the degree helped draw attention to the commitment to community and internationalization at Augustana, where one in three students commits more than 20 hours of service-learning in the community and one in five students graduates with significant international experience. “Honorary degrees raise the profile of Augustana for our publics, but we also want our recipients to become aware of who we are and what we aspire to do,” said Augustana dean Roger Epp," in a article on Kielburger by Christopher Trall. “They can become our advocates wherever in the world they happen Camrose Police Services Chief Darrell Kambeitz congratulates Jenna Trowsdale of Sparling School for to be. Craig Kielburger is one of those people who will help us graduating from the Grade 6 DARE program at Duggan Cinemas on June 8.

Talk about a change of setting. Vanessa Barr went from a life of convenience to one of poverty this past winter when she volunteered to work with the children and young women in Arusha, Tanzania. It was an experience she would have no problem doing all over again. "I miss it so much," said the Camrose Composite High School graduate. "I was much happier there in Third World poverty than I have ever been in the luxury of the first world." Ms. Barr split her volunteer time between a primary school, where she taught English, math and art to children aged five and six, and the Faraja women's school, where she taught English to young women between the ages of 17 and 30. "They (Faraja school) bring girls for a year that are orphaned or homeless or prostitutes," explained Ms. Barr. "Along with learning English they receive instruction in cooking and sewing and other skills so that at the end of the year, when they go back into the city they can support themselves and their families." Home base for Ms. Barr was a hostel that she and her mother, Laurie Moffat-Barr, found while searching the internet before making the trip. "The connections to the volunteer opportunities were provided by the hostel," said Ms. Barr. "We went on our own, not through any organization or religious affiliate." The six weeks of volunteering has dramatically changed the way Ms. Barr looks at life. "I am still discovering new ways that it has changed me," she said. "I want to go back as soon as I can because the time there was not enough. I really became attached to all the women and children." One of the things that Ms. Barr noticed the most was that, despite the poverty and cramped living conditions, people were genuinely happy. "The grandmothers we met were so proud when they showed us their bomas, or huts," she said. "We noticed that most of the huts were just a combination of mud and stick construction, and that if you extended your arms you could touch the walls in any direction." Ms. Barr and her mother were joined at the end of their time in Arusha by Ms. Barr's father, Michael Barr, and her aunt. To celebrate the end of their time in Africa they embarked on an 11-day safari. "My parents are wildlife biologists so they really enjoyed the safari part, but for me, where I was happiest was in the volunteering part," said Ms. Barr. "It was hard for me to be away from those women and children." Volunteer work is not something that is new to Ms. Barr, who is always looking for new ways to help in the community. "I have always been the volunteer of the family," she said. "I volunteer quite a bit around Camrose and did quite a bit of work when I was in school, so when I finished school early I thought it would be good to do something in Africa. My parents were there before I was born and always told me they wanted to take me there." Ms. Barr will be going to school in Victoria this fall in pursuit of a bio psych degree with a possible major or minor in global development studies. "Bio psych is my interest for now but I have thought of international law as well," she said. "A lot of people change their minds and I might be one of them." Ms. Barr is currently seeking donations for the two schools in Arusha. Anyone who would like to provide a financial contribution is encouraged to contact her at chocolatebarr_15@hotmail.com.

Army Cadets complete another busy year By Dan Jensen

Major Shawn Thirlwell, followed by Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson, inspects the troops.

MCpl T. Rhynold accepts the most outstanding cadet award from Legion member Ragnar Gislason.

MCpl V. Muir accepts the most improved cadet award from 2Lt Chris Coombs, administration officer/level officer.

The 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadets Camrose put the finishing touches on another busy year May 31 with its ninth annual cadet review and open house. "Whether it was participating in field training, marksmanship, physical training or special trips and tours, the cadets were given the opportunity to learn, to experience and to grow," said Captain Alex Boos in his Commanding Officer's address. "They made friends, they challenged themselves and each other, and they received first hand knowledge of the training that members of the CF, such as our affiliated unit, the South Alberta Light Horse, participate in on a regular basis." Review was conducted by Major Shawn Thirlwell, "B" Squadron South Alberta Light Horse, Edmonton. Major Thirlwell assumed responsibility in 2000 for the training and combat efficiency of the "B" squadron, and two years later was employed as the South Alberta Light Horse second in command. Two years after that he was tasked with the responsibility of training the regiment in the conversion from the armoured tank to its new role as armoured reconnaissance. MCpl T. Rhynold was named most outstanding cadet for the year, while MCpl K. Scheerschmidt was named most outstanding NCO. Other awards were presented to: MCpl T. Rhynold and Cpl M. Scabar, top marksmen; Cpl D. Lindberg, staff award for perseverance; MCpl V. Muir, most improved cadet; MCpl K. Charpentier, top gold star; MCpl K. Scheerschmidt, top silver star; Cpl B. Brett, top red star; and Tpr S. Irving, top green star. Captain Boos noted that the cadets set their goals high. "Impressively, many set out to achieve those goals, and beyond. I am proud of the work that these cadets have done, and proud of the work that the staff have done in assisting them to achieve those goals. Together we can make a better future for all of us." In the spring of 2000, 2Lt Brian Backhaus and OCdt Scott O'Neill approached the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 57 for sponsorship of an Army Cadet Corps in Camrose. In an effort to establish a link to Camrose's military heritage, the two sought affiliation with the 19th Alberta Dragoons, a former reserve unit that paraded a troop in Camrose until it was amalgamated with the South Alberta Light Horse in 1964. In September of 2000 the Camrose Army Cadets began parading as a satellite platoon with 1390 (Red Deer) RCACC. On September 1, 2002, 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps was officially "stood up." From 2002 to present the Corps has been led by 2nd Lieutenant Linda Lorente, Lieutenant Cori Boos, Major Bill Hart, and Captain Alex Boos.

Minimum wage increased By Murray Green

The province will be raising the minimum wage in September, but no new jobs have been offered to the unemployed or to people who have been laid off. It is estimated that the earnings of 20,000 Albertans will rise September 1, when an increase in minimum wage takes effect. A new wage guideline for liquor servers will also be added. Minimum wage will go up from $8.80 to $9.40 per hour. A minimum wage of $9.05 per hour will be introduced for workers who serve alcohol. This takes into account the fact that these employees also earn tips. The employment and immigration department said that the minimum wage increase represents a 6.8 per cent increase for general workers and a 2.8 per cent increase for liquor servers. This wage hike is the first in Alberta since April 2009. “While just over one per cent of employees earn minimum wage, we want to ensure that the minimum wage rate in Alberta is reasonable. We also want to maintain the important balance between attracting people into entry-level positions and helping their employers remain competitive,” said Thomas Lukaszuk, minister of employment and immigration in a press release. “Having a different minimum wage for liquor servers recognizes that these individuals earn a significant part of their income from tips. It will also give business owners greater flexibility in the way they pay other staff, such as cooks and dishwashers.” The government is planning to keep the minimum wage for liquor servers at $9.05 per hour until the general minimum wage reaches $10.05 per hour. The government wants the wage rates to be a $1 difference in the future. Also starting on September 1, Alberta will use this new formula as the basis for decisions about future increases to Alberta’s minimum wage. The new formula will be an average of changes to Alberta’s annual average weekly earnings and changes to the Consumer Price Index in Alberta. The previous formula for determining changes was based on Alberta’s average weekly earnings only. Changes would occur September 1 of each year and would be announced with three months’ notice. “This new approach to minimum wages gives clear direction and long-term stability to minimum wage earners, and to Alberta businesses,” Lukaszuk said. Employers and employees with questions about minimum wage may call the employment standards contact centre at 780-427-3731, toll-free at 1-877-427-3731, or visit employment.alberta.ca/es for more information. The Alberta government didn't address increasing unemployment or massive layoffs in the education sector.

Everyone’s welcome at CNIB Walk Sunday in honour of Breakfast Smorg Ron McVee 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. By Murray Green

On June 5, a day that was filled with rain, wind, cloud, thunder and even some sunshine, CNIB walkers did not let it dampen their spirits. The Camrose VIPs (Visually Impaired People) marched forward with the 12th annual Walk Towards Independence in memory of Ron McVee who passed away in 2010. He and his wife Joyce have been involved in the VIPs for many years, and this event has been renamed in his honour. Dedicated walkers gathered to raise $3,500 for CNIB. The blue sky and sunshine emerged just in time for the group to walk around Mirror Lake, shortly after 1 p.m. "I'm thankful for everyone who could come out for the walk and support this event," said Joyce. CNIB provides communitybased support, knowledge and a national voice to ensure Canadians who are blind or partially sighted have the confidence, skills and opportunities to fully participate in life. CNIB delivers programs and services to help people overcome the challenges of sight loss, increase their independence and achieve their goals. The Ron McVee Memorial Walk will help to support vital services in Camrose.

2011Dodge Durango For those who enjoy the drive By Dan Jensen

Buckle in and hold on tight. Dodge has jumped back into the sport utility (SUV) segment with the 2011 Dodge Durango, a three-row vehicle spacious enough to carry the entire crew and performance tuned to thrill anyone who truly loves to drive. "We took the performance car mantra from our own backyard and applied the formula to Durango," said Joe Dehner, head of Dodge design. "The Durango and the Charter were designed at the same time, allowing the bold styling from the Charger to spill over to our all-new, three-row SUV." In-line with the Charger, the side profile of the Durango features a powerful shape, accented by muscular fender arches and curves that flow back in through the doors, resembling the iconic shape of a coke bottle. A body-colour rear spoiler significantly reduces drag and adds visual drama to the side profile. All new

From its sleek exterior design to its modern, spacious interior and intelligent fuel-efficient and powerful powertrain options, the 2011 Dodge Durango is all-new from the inside out. And the changes are more than skin deep. The Durango's unibody structure is more than 25 stiffer than its predecessor. The end result is a vehicle with crossover versatility, SUV capability and performance in a different league than its competitive class. The all-new short/long arm front suspension and isolated multi-link rear suspension features isolated front and rear cradles for improved on-road handling and comfort. Durango delivers on the pavement with aggressive shock and spring rates and large sway bars to handle body roll in hard turning maneuvres. Available electro-hydraulic performance steering, along with standard electronic stability control, also contribute to maintain tire grip and stability. A robust structure, impressive braking and unexpected stability contribute to the Durango's best-inclass trailer tow capability. On models equipped with the Pentastar V-6 engine, the Durango can tow up to 6,200 pounds more than the V-6 and small V-8 that were available in the previous Durango.

The legendary 5.7 litre HEMI V-8 delivers 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,250 rpm and also features VVT. The available V-8 delivers performance, best-in-class 7,400 lbs. of towing capability, and fuel efficiency. The estimated fuel economy is 16.8 litres per 100 km city and 11.76 litres per 100 km highway for rear wheel drive models and 18.09 litres per 100 km city and 11.76 litres per 100 km highway for all-wheel-drive models. The Durango features two automatic transmissions and two available full-time all-wheel-drive systems (V-6 and V-8 versions). The drivelines provide smooth operation of the vehicle over a variety of road conditions. Where competitors have switched to carbased platforms, the HEMI-powered all-wheel-drive Durango features a low-range transfer case for light off-road recreation and to ease maneuvres while towing, such as pulling a boat out of the water from a high degree launch or backing up with a trailer attached.

Augustana grads encouraged to take care of imaginations By Dan Jensen

University of Alberta president Indira Samarasekera encouraged graduates at Augustana's centenary convocation to take care of their imaginations. "Use them freely but wisely, said President Samarasekera. "Remember that your imagination can be a powerful and great tool, and don't reject your imagination's need for in depth learning and reflection." President Samarasekera noted the imagining by Indira Gandhi and Nelson Mandela of a powerful non violent system which led to the struggles to overcome subjugation in colonial India and apartheid in South Africa, while Albert Einstein's imagination of what he would experience while riding on a beam of light allowed him to work his way towards the theory of relativity. Lastly, she said, Augustana grads are a tribute to the imagination of the school's founders. President Samarasekera encouraged students to find fulfillment by making contributions. "In the future it will be your capacity to keep learning and to imagine a different, better future that will prove to be more valuable than anything," she stated. "Imagination is the basis of creativity and invention, the spark that ignites all human thoughts. The wellspring of ideas that has enabled us to scale challenges that seem to be unsurmountable." President Samarasekera left the graduates with the quote by George Bernard Shaw: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.â&#x20AC;? Justice Minister Verlyn Olson told the graduates they have been given an education at Augustana that is second to none, and that what they have gained and achieved will make them very valuable in whatever they do. "You have been taught to engage with the community, not be an island. "I really hope that you will use that consciousness, the awareness of your fellow man, for the betterment of both yourself and others, whether it is around the corner or around the world. Everything you do matters: it matters what you think, it matters what you say and it certainly matters what you do. The thoughts and words and actions you make are going to have an impact on those around you." Minister Olson closed by reminding students of their responsibility to be a force for good wherever they may choose to go. "Augustana has prepared you for that," he said. "You are able to impact people for good." The convocation was followed by a ceremonial tree planting by graduates on the lane leading up to Augustana.

Laurie Huolt Constituency Assistant, Wetaskiwin-Camrose

On May 30, 2011, the Royal Embassy of Norway in Canada hosted a well attended luncheon in downtown Edmonton. The luncheon featured a lecture by guest speaker Dr. Knut Alfsen, Research Director at the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research, in Oslo. MLA for Wetaskiwin-Camrose and Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Verlyn Olson, attended the luncheon and commended Dr. Alfsen on his thought-provoking lecture. “At first glance, Alberta and Norway may seem very different; however the issues that we face regarding our resources are very similar,” says Minister Olson. “Going forward, I believe the opportunities for collaboration between Alberta and Norway on a variety of issues are vast.” Dr. Alfsen spoke about the energy sector and current environmental policy, and highlighted areas for potential collaboration between Norway and Alberta. Canada and Norway enjoy good political relations and share similar interests because of their northern climates and oil and gas production. Norway is Canada’s most important Nordic trading partner and its eighth largest worldwide. Her Excellency, Else Berit Eikland, Norwegian Ambassador to Canada, and First Secretary Kari Marjatta Hoel, both attended the luncheon. Minister Olson, himself of Norwegian heritage, appreciated the opportunity to renew his acquaintance with Her Excellency and meet Ms. Hoel. “It is a special occasion when such distinguished guests visit the Province of Alberta,” says Minister Olson. “I feel very privileged to have shared the afternoon with Her Excellency and the First Secretary and look forward to future visits.” Many Albertans trace their heritage back to Norwegian settlers who immigrated to Canada in the 1800s. Approximately 140,000 Albertans of Norwegian descent currently live in the province.

Switzer joins Flying Doctors team to assist Nicaragua

By Murray Green

Charley Switzer of Camrose will be part of the Flying Doctors of Canada (FDOC) medical team heading to San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua for 10 days this August. She will be a member of a medical unit that will help with laboratory testing, x-ray imaging, physical examinations and making diagnoses. The travelling unit will go to smaller centres to offer expertise in more remote areas in the southern part of the country. The FDOC is a non-profit organization made up of doctors, nurses and volunteer university students who are committed to providing medical care in developing countries in Central America. "It was started by graduates of the University of Alberta," said Charley. "I will be going down with a group of 27 volunteers and that includes pre-med students. I filled out an application, went for an interview and they called me back and said I was accepted." Charley believes that, as a Canadian, she has training and knowledge to help with humanitarian efforts in developing countries around the world. "I will shadow doctors in a travelling medical clinic where over 200 patients a day will be assisted," said Charley. "To help address underlying causes of poor

These include building water filtration systems and clean-burning EcoStoves, which I will actively take part in constructing while in Nicaragua. The stoves are important because it will reduce respiratory problems. Their outdoor cooking methods can cause lung problems. Most of the time they cook over open fires. The stoves can really improve the conditions." Charley has completed three years of pre-medical education at the Augustana Campus and will be attending the University of Alberta in Edmonton this fall to continue her studies to become a doctor. She has a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in biology. "I can see myself being a physician in a rural community, such as Camrose. That is my ultimate dream. I'm amazed at the support I've received from the community. People have shown they support and care about this kind of work in other countries." A spaghetti dinner fundraiser for her was held at the Camrose United Church on May 31 to help with the costs. "The money we are raising tonight goes to help cover the costs for students, as well as medical and construction supplies."

"We have seventy-eight registered swimmers this year," said Camrose Sea Serpents' head coach Shane Gau. "It's a little bit down from last year but with that I think we have a more committed group. "Every age group has a number of strong swimmers." The Camrose Sea Serpents held their second meet of the season at Wetaskiwin this past Sunday. "It was our club's home meet and we took 72 swimmers," said Gau. The season's first meet was held in Vermilion May 28, with 40 swimmers attending." "Our swimmers did very well," said Gau. The Sea Serpents will have competition June 25, then meets almost every weekend after that until the regionals and provincials in August. The Sea Serpents are counting on leadership from senior swimmers Nathan Saby, who last year attended the National Swim Championships, Brendan Hilgartner and Amiah Klein. "They'll still be competing but they will also be helping some of the younger kids and getting some coaching experience," said Gau. One swimmer who won't be back this year is Anders Klein, who has gone on to winter club. "I hear he is in the top ten in his age groups for many of the events," said Gau. Camrose Sea Serpents are currently meeting at two different times, with the beginning or younger swimmers going from five to six and the more experienced swimmers going from six to seven. All the swimmers, said Gau, are committed to working hard and showing what they can do. "We're still working on the endurance training and stressing the importance of proper nutrition, but once summer hits we will be teaching them about sportsmanship, work ethic and the power of positive self talk in preparation for their swim meets." The Camrose Sea Serpents placed third in the Alberta Summer Swim Association standings last year. They feel confident that they can improve on that result this year. "We are the largest club in our region (Region C) and we definitely hold our own," said Gau. "It has always been tough competing against swimmers from the bigger cities like Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge, but I think we have the talent in our club this year to do well." The Camrose Sea Serpents keep registration costs as low as possible in order to attract as many swimmers and families as it can. "One of the reasons we have grown so much over the last few years is that people are realizing that swimming is good exercise, both mentally and physically," said Gau. "It also has a family aspect to it in that entire families are able to participate. We have a lot of parents who serve as swim officials."

Children's choir to perform in Ottawa on Canada Day 2012 By Murray Green

The Camrose and Area Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choirs will be going to Ottawa to perform on Canada Day. Both the senior choir and Select Ensemble, which features Grade 4 and up, have been offered the chance to travel to Ottawa for Canada Day 2012 as one of two ambassador choirs from Alberta. They will be participating in a national music festival. "Unisong Canadian Choir Festival brings together choirs representing each province and offers them the chance to unite in song in a national choral festival that will be in its 16th year in 2012," said artistic director Joy-Anne Murphy. A group from Lethbridge and the Camrose choirs are the only Alberta choirs at the event next year. "The organizers phoned and asked if we were interested in participating. We had to submit an application form, include a list of our repertoire of songs that we will be performing, a biography of our choir, and send them a CD of a live concert." The participating choirs each have the opportunity to perform individually throughout Ottawa, as well as joining in massed rehearsals that culminate in performances on-stage at the National Arts Centre on Canada Day led by a renowned choral conductor. "To the best of our knowledge, this is a first for any choir from Camrose," said

25, 2012, one or two spring concerts in surrounding communities, as well as performance in the Festival of Trees, Camrose Music Festival and Jaywalkers' Jamboree. "As a choir, we are aiming to raise enough funds to have each child be able to participate, no matter what the family's financial circumstances. Interested singers are invited to contact us regarding membership early, as space may be limited," explained Joy-Anne. "Our goal is to fundraise for a year. It could cost between $1,200 and $1,600 per individual. It is quite a bit of money, so our goal is to try and raise at least two-thirds of that The Camrose and Area Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choirs will be performing in Ottawa on Canada Day in 2012.

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday Helpful Tips for Writing Classiﬁed Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

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

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

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

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

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

ALS Walk held in Camrose By Murray Green

The third annual walk for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) will be held on June 18 around Mirror Lake, starting at the Bill Fowler Centre at 10:30 a.m. ALS is a rapidly progressive fatal motor neuron disease, which currently doesn't have a cure. It is estimated that two or three Canadians die each day from the disease. ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, after the famous New York Yankees' first baseman who suffered from the disorder. The disease can strike anyone, regardless of age, gender or circumstances. Families can be hit with expensive medical bills for specialized equipment and nursing care. Walk coordinator Brandee Fossen decided to head up this year's version as a tribute to her mother MaryAnne Hammer who had the disease. "Walkers can collect pledges and the donations are used for research and equipment. About 60 per cent of what we raise stays in Alberta," she said. "Last year we raised about $12,000 with 70 walkers. This is the first time for me organizing the event, so the goal is around $5,000." Walkers register at 10 a,m, and begin the journey around the lake at 10:30 a.m. Refreshments are available and prizes will be presented. City of Camrose Deputy Mayor Gerry Galenza proclaimed June as ALS Awareness Month to increase awareness about raising funds for research and patient care. "In the Camrose area, there are three individuals who receive support from the society," said Brandee. "Currently we are supporting 174 individuals living in Alberta with ALS, as well as their families." In at least 90 per cent of the cases, ALS strikes individuals with no family history of the disease. "Nearly 90 per cent of people with ALS died within five years of diagnosis. My mom was diagnosed in August and passed away in March. The equipment is so expensive and it might be only used for a few months." To make a donation visit www.walkforals.caor for more information on how you can become a walker, check the web site.

Adventures at the Stoney Creek Centre By Kaylyn Jackson, Wildlife and Stewardship Society

Last Tuesday everyone attending the Watershed Walk and Talk got to learn about the importance of clean water and a healthy watershed. David Samm, from the Battle River Watershed Alliance, explained to people that the earth is about 70 per cent water, but of that 70 per cent only three per cent is fresh water and that only a 10th of all the fresh water is readily available for human use. This means that, whether in the form of a river, a glacier or a watershed, everyone has to do their part in looking after it. After David’s talk participants were given the chance to participate in testing the water quality of the Stoney Creek which is located right outside of the centre. Three different water samples were taken in order to test for several different aspects of water quality. Tests included the amount of dissolved oxygen, phosphorus and nitrogen present. The temperature and Ph levels and, lastly, the amount and types of insect and other invertebrate life found in the water. Every year the Battle River Watershed Alliance uses tests similar to these to test the water quality throughout the watershed and compiles the State of The Watershed report. For more information on the Battle River Watershed Alliance, or to learn more about what you can do to help your watershed, you can check http://www.battleriverwatershed.ca In the next few weeks the Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society have many interesting and exciting events scheduled. Next Tuesday, June 14, everyone is invited to come out and join members of the local Taoist Tai Chi group for a night of Tai Chi in nature held outside(weather permitting) of the Stoney Creek Centre. The following week, on June 21, wildlife biologist Wayne Nelson will give a talk on the turkey vultures that nest near Camrose. For more information on the summer's environmental education presentations, please contact summer coordinator Kaylyn Jackson at 780-672-0544

A Stroke Recovery Association starts By Murray Green

A stroke survivor's organizational meeting has been scheduled for noon on Wednesday, June 15, at the Camrose Fire Hall. Leader Sandra McLay would like to set up a Camrose chapter of the Stroke Recovery Association of Alberta. "My goal is to establish, nurture and foster a local community based stroke recovery group to participate in health and wellness activities, lectures, speech therapy and just to get together for social or recreational outings," said Sandra. Currently, support groups are located in Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Innisfail, Stettler, Leduc, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. "I want to set up a local group so people of any age who are stroke survivors can get support," she said. "Four years ago I had a brain attack, more commonly known as a stroke. There was nothing common about it. If it were not for the dedicated doctors and

nurses, I would not be here today. We want stroke survivors, their families and caregivers to know that you are not alone. There are others just like you who have had a stroke and know what it is you are going through," Sandra explained. After suffering a stroke, you may not be able to do things the same way you did before, but learning new skills and meeting new people will keep minds and hearts active and alive. "We are stroke survivors. We need to unite. We need to help each other. If you wish to find out more (and I hope you do), please come to the new fire hall on Mount Pleasant Drive, at noon on June 15. A light lunch will be served and a few surprises. You do not need to be alone any longer." The web site is at www. strokealberta.com and for more local information contact Sandra at mclay.sandra27@gmail.comor phone Heather at 780-679-2943.

Foreman collects silver medal track provincials By Murray Green

Camrose Composite High School athlete Connor Foreman earned a silver medal in the shot put event at the provincial track and field meet in Edmonton on June 3 and 4. It was his second silver medal in two years. CCHS sent 10 athletes to the provincial championships. "The city-county and regional meets were both excellent opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills and prepare for the following weeks of competitions," said track coach Todd Markowsky. "The cold damp weather didn’t diminish the performance of CCHS athletes." At the provincial championships Tylor Henry qualified for the 100 metre senior boys' final, where he placed eighth with a time of 11.57 seconds. Jesalyn Clarkson placed eighth in the junior girls 3,000 metre event. Jenya Rust came in seventh in

the junior girls' 800 metre distance. Anna Eriksson competed in four intermediate girls' events at provincials. Anna placed 11th in the 1,500 metre run, ninth in the 3,000 metre event, ran in the four by 400 metre open relay and the 400 metre individual race. The four by 100 metre senior girls' relay team of Alyssa Clarkson, Nicole Laskosky, Lisa McAllister and Regan Fossen placed fifth with a time of 54.62 seconds. Karly Johnson-Renman placed an impressive fifth in the 800 metre and 10th in the 400 metre heat. Tylor Henry qualified for the senior boys' 100 metre final and placed eighth with an impressive 11.57 second time. The athletes excelled in Red Deer at the zone meet on May 25. The city/county and regional meets were held in Camrose on May 11 and 18. CCHS placed 11th out of 53 overall in the 3A school points classification.

…wishes to sincerely thank our family, friends, medical staff and the community for your gracious support, as well as the cards, food, donations, etc. during our recent time of loss. Mom (Gwen) will be missed and will live on forever in our hearts. In lieu of thank you cards, we are making a donation to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
