Curling academy prepares for next year By Murray Green
The Rose City Curling Club (RCCC) is creating a Camrose Academy of Curling in partnership with the locally based educational institutions. The curling academy is expected to be launched in September, 2013. RCCC president, Todd Lucas explained the process. “The board of the RCCC has engaged the services of a consulting firm that has helped us prepare the feasibility study. We are encouraged with the outcome and have provided them with the green light to proceed with developing the detailed elements of the business plan,” said Todd. The curling club has been fortunate to host some recent high profile and successful curling events in Camrose such as the Continental Cup of Curling in December, 2008, the Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts in January 2011 and the Alberta Boston Pizza Cup in February 2012. “These events have provided some funds that we plan to use in part to create a legacy that Camrose volunteers have worked so hard on," added Todd. "The concept to create a new business opportunity and to invest in this new venture will provide additional opportunities for the curling club. It is a first in Alberta. Like most curling clubs, the RCCC struggles with decreased enrolment in leagues and bonspiel participation, so we need to search for viable alternatives to inject more life into the curling club.” The curling club was searching for a way to get more young people interested in the sport. "At first I was thinking about how can we improve or expand the junior program," said Roger Galenza, junior coach and newly named Augustana curling coach. "Ken and Bob (Seney) came up with the idea of an academy. I talked to my nephew who runs the Battle River Hockey Academy and started getting some questions and answers from him on how we could do this." Ken Duggan, who has a business called Curl Management Ltd., is one of the principals engaged in the development of the CAC project. “We thought about junior high and then the whole idea expanded up to the university level. We have met with the potential stakeholders
Mayor Marshall Chalmers, back row from left, Augustana athletics director Greg Ryan, Battle River School Division representatives Doug Bowie and Ray Bosh support the Curling Academy of Camrose organizers Ken Duggan, front left, and Rose City Curling Club president Todd Lucas. The curling academy will start in September 2013.
who would be involved with the Rose City Curling Club in the CAC. These include the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus, the Battle River School District and the City of Camrose, as well as MLA Verlyn Olson from the Government of Alberta, and have received a very positive and affirmative reception to the concept of the Camrose Academy of Curling.” The academy is seeking 40 students for the first year of operation and then expanding to 70 students in a few years and under the current structure would top out at about 100 students. "Our target to break even or even make a little money, would be somewhere around 70 curlers," said Ken. "We want to start our marketing now to begin attracting students for next year." The academy will have a board to guide them through the start up process. "We will be seeking various funding opportunities, as well as partnering with BRSD, the city and Augustana in marketing," said Ken. "We will likely partner with the Saville Curling Club in Edmonton, so we provide the students with some fun competitions." Ken said the Northern Alberta Canadian Curling Asso-
ciation might set aside $10,000 for establishing a curling academy. Older students may have access to scholarships. Plans for the academy are to have an international recruiting focus, but also to recruit students locally, from across Alberta, and across Canada. “There are now 49 member associations in the World Curling Federation and with the advent of curling as an Olympic sport, almost all of these countries are looking to develop and improve their curling athletes," explained Ken. "We believe that the CAC will eventually become a great option for countries to consider to send athletes both for the quality education they can receive in Camrose and to develop their curling skills to take back home.” Another priority is to attract highly qualified and experienced instruction and coaching for the CAC students. “We have had preliminary discussions with high profile curlers, provincial, Canadian and world champions who are interested in working with the CAC,” said Ken, who has had talks with Randy Ferby, Adam Enright and Heather Nedohin. “There are also some keen and enthusiastic local people who are interested in taking steps
to upgrade their instruction and coaching certifications to be in a position to assist with the day to day delivery of academy services. The program will have a teacher from the Battle River School Division as the head instructor so students can receive credits towards their schooling.” The academy currently has a goal to start up for the curling season and school year beginning in 2013. Mayor Marshall Chalmers is fully supportive of the concept. “This is a great initiative that will strengthen curling at the local, provincial and national levels and the City of Camrose will have a role to play in its establishment and success. We should also look at finding a way to have the county involved as well,” said Mayor Chalmers. "Another spin-off is that we are looking at twinning with a city in China, Yichun." The City of Camrose would like to twin with Yichun, located in the northern part of China. Yichun is located in the Chinese province of Heilongjiang. "Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang. Heilongjiang and Alberta have a twinning agreement and arrangement and they are just celebrating their 30th anniversary, and Harbin and Edmonton
have a twinning agreement, just celebrating their 25th anniversary," explained Ken. "They are interested because they want to be a centre for curling in China." Ken also suggested the program could expand to be a training centre for wheelchair curling athletes. "We are working on an upgrade plan for the Max McLean Arena and curling club. This is a budget item, but we don't have wheelchair access up here (the upstairs of the curling club) and renovations are something we are looking at in our planning," said Paul Nielsen, manager leisure services. “Battle River School Division is very interested in exploring a partnership for the development of the Camrose Academy of Curling,” said superintendent of schools Dr. Larry Payne. “We’re excited about the possibilities. There is potential to generate new opportunities for existing students and even attract additional students into our schools." Battle River School Division board member Doug Bowie said they have had success with English as a second language programs. "There are lots of academy's across the province. We want to combine education and curling. The scheduling is easier at the junior high level and our board is very supportive," said Doug. "It is nice to have international exposure, but we have a lot of good local curlers." Greg Ryan, the athletic director at the Augustana Campus is also on board. “The curling academy is a nice fit with Augustana’s championship curling program and our commitment to high quality education. In addition, Augustana has strong international ties, both sending students on international experiences and receiving international students.” Curling isn't just about throwing rocks. "We have a great fitness centre and highly trained instructors who can help with the curling program," said Greg. "We have university level curlers who can assist with instruction and can provide mentorship. This is a way for the university to reach out and help the community as well." Canada is expanding curling at the university level to offer national championships.
NeighborAid Centre happy for community support By Dan Jensen
Neighbor Aid program director Jo-Anne Tweed is continually impressed with the number of people in Camrose who are willing to step forward wherever there is a need. "I started (as program director) in January and my eyes were just opened to the support we have from our community, the people, and their willingness to come and step up to the plate," said Tweed in a presentation on Neighbor Aid to Camrose City council July 16.

school breakfast clubs, support to senior and disabled persons with house and garden cleanup or repairs, emergency housing, financial assistance to qualifying individuals, and activities that are designed to mobilize neighbourhoods to develop a sense of community. The goal is to provide opportunities for Christians to put their faith into action. "We are volunteer based and working with the 21 churches," said Tweed. "We wouldn't be able to do what we do without volunteers."
Range of programs
Food Bank
Camrose Neighbor Aid is a church-supported non-profit organization which, along with operating Camrose and District Food Bank, provides medical transportation, soup kitchens,
Tweed noted that, so far in 2012, Camrose and District Food Bank has delivered 1,001 food hampers. The number of food hampers distributed in 2011 was 2,120,
while the number of hampers distributed in 2010 was 2,252. "Our numbers are down," said Tweed. "People are getting back on their feet and jobs are starting to open up, so things are looking better. Neighbor Aid wants to encourage people, to lift them up and give them a helping hand to move forward." Tweed said Neighbor Aid will be holding another food drive in August to restock some of the shelves at the Camrose and District Food Bank. "The food drives in the winter were a great success. Our shelves were filled, which is definitely helping us get through the summer months, however our shelves are getting sparse." Continued on page 5

We are making connections not only with the kids but also with the parents, building relationship and closer community."
Soup kitchen
Funding appreciated
Starting this fall, the soup kitchen, also known as Martha's Table, will be operating on Tuesdays at St. Andrew's Anglican Church, Wednesdays at the United Church, and Saturdays at Pleasantview Alliance Church. "After 14 years of service, St. Francis Xavier has stepped down as one of the host churches," said Tweed. "We are grateful for their years of dedication." Tweed said Neighbor Aid's Shine program helps to develop
Tweed expressed appreciation to council for approving the allocation of $5,000 in MSI operating funding to Neighbor Aid, and for donating the use of the upper and lower levels in the Food Bank building. "I can't imagine the chaos and the extra volunteers required before attaining access to the basement for storage. I know the rent would have taken away from the other programs and the ability to help people in need."

Almer Julian Ofrim to be honoured at Founders Days By Janine Carroll, with files from A Light Into the Past, The Camrose Canadian, and a booklet titled Walking Tour of Special District/Historical – Old Sparling
Cash-crop advisor
The
The Camrose Founders Days Committee is pleased to remember, Almer Julian Ofrim as a 2012 Honored Founder. His humble story is representative of many settlers who arrived in Camrose in the early 1900s, hard working, optimistic and dedicated to family and community. Almer Ofrim was born in Loken, Norway, on August 23, 1883, arriving in Camrose in 1906, a young man of 23 years. At that time Jacob Langbell was building the Langbell Hotel (later called the Heather Brae Hotel). Almer immediately joined a work crew building. He later worked out of Michael Haugen’s Blacksmith Shop and created for himself a reputation as a well-known and distinguished blacksmith. In 1911 Mr. Ofrim entered into partnership with Thomas Fowler, opening a blacksmith shop opposite of the town hall. In 1918 he left blacksmithing and opened a hardware store with Adolph Maland, a partnership and business that would be part of the Camrose business community for over 40 years. Maland and Ofrim Hardware began business in another location but moved to 50th street and 50th Ave (where Candler Art Gallery is now located) and remained part of the Camrose business community for 41 years. Almer sold the business and retired after the death of his partner, Mr. Maland in 1959. Research shows that the business was also known as Camrose Hardware, however it’s unclear when the name change was made.
The hardware store became a favorite gathering spot with an old pot-bellied stove in the centre of the store, where community members often gathered to talk and swap stories. When sleighs were used for winter travel rural folk commonly stopped to warm up before heading home. Almer married Amelia Knutsvig on New Year’s Eve, 1919, and they had four children, Robert, Marie, Dennis and Alice. They lived on the corner of 48 Street and 48 Avenue, a house which later was home to the Green Room for a time. Mr. Ofrim was an ardent skier and contributed significantly to the local Fram Ski Club. In 1917 he is credited with locating the first ski slide constructed for Banff. The next year he broke his leg on that same ski jump during a long distance jump. He did continue to ski but wasn’t able to jump as he once had. During his life Mr. Ofrim presented contradictory qualities. It was reported that when a blacksmith, there was not a more rugged individual, yet in later life he was known as a gentle, kindly man who lived a quiet life. Almer was active in Messiah Lutheran Church, the Board of Trade and was a life member of the Chamber of Commerce. Besides being an avid skier he was also a hunting enthusiast. About 1940 Mr. Ofrim attracted his friend York Mah to the community. York built a restaurant not far from Maland and Ofrim Hardware, calling it the York Café. The space is now occupied by the Yummy Pho. Mr. Ofrim passed away in 1964 and is buried at the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery.

The older Jeff McDevitt gets the more he realizes how important it is to keep himself in good physical condition. "I have three kids that I am trying to keep up with so I need to be fit," said McDevitt, who was named winner, recently, of the Camrose Fitness Centre's inaugural fitness challenge. McDevitt lost between 25 and 30 pounds over the eight weeks the challenge ran and packed on some additional muscle mass. He also learned that he could ward off hunger pangs that typically occur later in the day by eating good, high protein breakfasts. "I think my eating habits are what have changed the most," he said. "I am eating breakfasts now and my food portions are a lot better than they were." The Transformation Challenge had 13 participants who paid a registration fee of $20 a piece to see who, in the eyes of judges, could most improve their overall strength and fitness. As the winner, McDevitt was able to pocket half of the $260 in registration fees and donate the remaining amount to the Camrose Open Door Association.
"We didn't have as many registrations as we were hoping for but it was our first year of doing it," said Camrose Fitness Centre supervisor Deanna Roper. "We will know how to market it better next year." Transformation Challenge participants were judged on the basis of photos they submitted of themselves at the start of the challenge on May 2 and its conclusion June 27. "It was a little bit intimidating for a lot of them to submit pictures of themselves and be accountable not just to themselves but to others as well," said Fitness Centre coordinator Jalene Johnsen. The challenge was held in conjunction with a twice a week class which provided instruction on how to increase body mass through a combination of body weight exercises and resistance training. "The challenge and the classes were ways that we could stress that transforming your body is not just about cardiovascular exercise," said Roper. "A lot of people think that in order to lose weight you have to increase your cardiovascular, which is important, because your heart is a muscle. But to actually
maintain your weight you need to do weight and resistance training, because when you do increase your body mass you also increase your metabolic rate and are able to burn more calories throughout the day." McDevitt started the competition doing a lot of weight training but switched to more cardiovascular workouts in the second half in preparation for his participation in the Ride to Conquer Cancer event. "I feel I did pretty well over the eight-week stretch but I think I still have a long way to go," he said. Camrose Fitness Centre provided encouragement throughout the Transformation Challenge by posting "workouts of the week" and recipes on Facebook. "We tried as much as possible to help them along the way," said Johnsen. Camrose Open Door executive director Randal Nickel, who accepted a cheque from McDevitt, said the Transformation Challenge fits well with The Open Door's mission. "What we are doing is helping people transform their lives," said Nickel.
Pharmacists open door to primary care Albertans can now visit their pharmacist for prescription renewal and six other publicly funded health services, making access to primary health care easier and more efficient. Alberta pharmacists will be compensated by the government for providing the seven new services, which include administering drug injections and altering prescriptions based on a patient’s health needs. This will allow pharmacists to work to the full scope of their practice while freeing up doctors’ time to see more patients and handle more complex cases. “We made a promise to Albertans to improve access to primary health care, and that is exactly what we are doing,” said Fred Horne, Minister of Health. “These new services will help Albertans get the medical services they need faster and more conveniently, which means better health and an improved quality of life for Albertans.”
A transition team representing Alberta pharmacists has been working with Alberta Health to develop a pharmacy services framework to expand the number of services pharmacists can provide Albertans. In addition to drug injections and prescription renewal and changes, Alberta pharmacists can now authorize medication in a medical emergency, create care plan to help Albertans understand and manage their medications better and, if the pharmacist has additional prescribing authority, prescribe medication. “Pharmacists have the training and education to provide a broad range of services to Albertans and we’re happy to have the opportunity to do so,” said Neil Cameron, President of the Alberta Pharmacists’ Association. “With over 4,300 pharmacists licensed in Alberta, Albertans can rely on us even more to
meet their medication needs close to home.” The cost of expanding the services pharmacists can bill for will be covered primarily from savings gained from the reduction of generic drug prices. Effective July 1, Alberta reduced what it pays for generic drugs from 45 per cent of the cost of name brand drugs to 35 per cent. The price reduction means Albertans will save on their out-of-pocket costs for generic drugs, and the Alberta government will save about $85 million in 2012/13. Premier Alison Redford has made access to primary health care a priority for government, promising each Albertan a home in the health system. This summer, MLAs will be having discussions with Albertans to determine the best way to meet the health needs of each community, including establishing more Family Care Clinics across the province.
The CAMROSE BOOSTER July 24, 2012
City council accepts tenders By Dan Jensen
Camrose City council has accepted a tender of $69,300 from JTB Electric for the installation of lighting fixtures at the Max McLean Arena. "Analysis of their bid indicates that they have the capability, resources and health and safety compliance to complete the job within the schedule identified," stated a report presented to council by Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen July 9. The lighting retrofit is the initial phase of a staged upgrade that will ensure Max McLean Arena continues to meet facility standards. JTB Electric was one of four companies that submitted bids for the work. Council has also accepted a tender of $45,000 from MPE Engineering Services for professional services related to tendering, construction inspection and post construction engineering on the Mirror Lake spillway remediation project. "This project is expected to be sent out for tenders in the very near future," stated a report presented by assistant municipal engineer Jeremy Enarson. "Administration's hope is that a selected contractor will start physical construction on the spillway following the Labour Day long weekend. While some landscaping and associated works
Hovde graduates
will likely carry over into 2013, most of the work should be substantially complete by the end of October, 2012." The Mirror Lake spillway project has an approved budget
"Administration has been very pleased with the work done by MPE Engineering to date." of $915,000, with $95,000 coming from the municipal levy, $125,000 from the water utility and $695,000 from grants. The City of Camrose has already spent $147,00 for remedial work, which was done in 2010, as well as detailed design work in 2011 and 2012. The Mirror Lake spillway has had a variety of operational and structural issues since its construction in the mid 1970s, ranging from minor cracking on the east side walls to unintentional leakage through the spillway structure. Work undertaken by City staff to eliminate the source of the leakage have not proven to be effective on a longer-term basis. City administration does not believe the structure is a significant danger to the public.
The spillway was constructed due to the failure and washout of the previous dam structure. In comparison to similar structures throughout Alberta, it is relatively small in size. MPE Engineering provided engineering services related to the preliminary and detailed design of the Mirror Lake spillway remediation. "Administration has been very pleased with the work done by MPE Engineering to date," stated Enarson. Council also approved a motion to reduce its representation on the Green Action Committee from two councillors to one. The Camrose Green Action committee was established to serve as a "think tank" to geerate proposals aimed at improving Camrose as a green community, to researching environmental "best practices" in other communities, to provide an education function by informing citizens of Camrose in order to create an enhanced understanding and appreciation of prudent environmental practices, and to accept referrals for further study from City council. Members of the Green Action Committee serve three years commencing on the City of Camrose organizational meeting date normally held in October.

Badry hopes to raise awareness of women's boxing By Dan Jensen Brandy Badry is an enthusiastic ambassador for the sport of women's boxing. "It means so much to me to help extinguish the stereotypes that are out there about most female boxers and any age limitations in athletics," said the former Camrose resident and single mother. "I would love to be able to motivate other females to join the sport." Badry made her professional boxing debut two years ago at the age of 35, thereby proving that, in the world of boxing, age is just a number. Her next professional fight will be at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton September 14. "It's going to be very exciting to fight in front of my city, in front of all who have supported me and the boxers who have inspired me to get better, along with those more novice boxers whom I may inspire to try boxing," she said. "I want to make proud all who have supported me and have given so much of themselves for my dreams." Badry's boxing journey began in 2002 when she took a fitness boxing class at the gym she attended for her workouts. Her instructor noticed her natural abilities and convinced her to consider joining a real boxing gym, where she would learn to fight competitively. "When I started boxing I knew nothing about it," she said. Badry still remembers the adrenaline rush that came when she stepped into the ring for her first sanctioned bout as an amateur in 2003. "It was a feeling like nothing I ever experienced before," she said. "I won that bout and found I loved the intensity of the competition." Badry was the best in her weight class (57 kilos) at the 2009 Canadian Nationals in Trois Rivieres, Quebec. "I have achieved milestones at an accelerated pace at a much older age than most competitors," said Badry. "Most of the women I have fought are much younger and have had a lot more experience than myself." Badry credits her success to a strong work ethic, a belief in herself, and good coaching. "I am diligent and have the determination to succeed," she said. "Boxing reflects my personality and when I am boxing I am content and fulfilled. It has made me confident in my daily life. I have become strong in everything I do, no matter how difficult it is – I have to try hard and never give up. "I never thought that my life's journey would lead me to boxing, but rather, my journey in boxing began when it found me. It has become the second most important thing in my life. It is my oxygen!" Anyone who wanting free tickets to Badry's September 14 bout is encouraged to contact her by phone at 780-990-9363, or email at livetobox@hotmail.com.

Saby preparing for trip to nationals By Murray Green
Camrose swimmer Nathan Saby captured a gold medal in the Swim Alberta provincials. Nathan is the fastest swimmer in the 15-year-old and older men's at the 2012 Speedo Alberta Age Group and Senior Championships on July 5 to 8 in Edmonton. Nathan, 17, won the 50m freestyle category with a time of 24.60. Nathan not only won the event, he placed well in the 100m freestyle, 50m breaststroke and the 200m individual medley. A back injury limited him to the four events, but he is eager to enter five at the nationals in Calgary, July 25 to 29. "I was confident going in and was ranked second in the 50m freestyle," explained Nathan, who competed against university-level athletes. "There were not too many 17-year-olds making it to the finals, so I thought I had a good provincials." After swimming for the Camrose Sea Serpents for several years, Nathan is now a member of the Olympian Swim Club. "We practice 16 hours a week and then have about five hours of dryland training on top of that," said Nathan. "The swimming club in Camrose was great, but I needed the extra training time to move to the next level. I find that I am getting stronger and faster." The local swimmer has closed the gap on several of the events. "Our coach focuses on all of the strokes and helps us to be better in all of the different strokes and I like that. He makes us work on things that we don't always want to work harder at." Nathan not only doubled
his practice hours, but he trains hard from September to the end of July. He should be ranked in the top 15 nationally in three events: 50m freestyle, 50m breaststroke and 100m breaststroke. He will also compete in two other events: 50m butterfly and 200 individual medley. Nathan has improved his times in all events. Last year at nationals in Montreal, Nathan competed in the 15- and 16-year-old division. This year he moves into the 17- and 18-year-old category. "Last year gave me experience, so this year I have higher expectations. I want to win the 50m freestyle or at least come back with a medal." Only three swimming pools in the country have two full 50m length pools at the same location to host nationals. They are in Montreal, Winnipeg and Calgary. "Training in one gets you used to it and it changes your strategy," said Nathan. "I feel myself getting stronger and faster and I'm ready for nationals. I want to make the finals in 100m freestyle and 50m breaststroke. I'm more geared to the sprint events. I have been getting better at the longer distances." Last year, Nathan placed fifth at nationals in his premier event. Although he is against several of the same swimmers, his times have improved more than the rest of the field. "I have a race each day at nationals. I like that they are spaced out because then I can concentrate fully on the event for that day. It helps mentally as well as physically," added Nathan. "I would like to swim at the university level in the future."

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler
Arts activities a community asset There is only one week left to see the art show in the Kinsmen Hall at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre, located below the Wildrose Co-op Store. The show, which features works of artists from Camrose, Bittern Lake and Bashaw art clubs, as well as photography exhibits from the Camrose Camera Club, closes on Tuesday, July 31. It is the first time that a show in Camrose has involved all four clubs and it is hoped that such an event will become a popular regular occurrence. Camrose and area has long boasted an active community of skilled artists – painters, sculptors, photographers. Pieces of their works have often been included in the travelling exhibits (TREX) of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA). We also see some of their works displayed in businesses and public buildings in Camrose and area as well as beyond. I recall my pleasure when once dining in a fine Edmonton hotel and seeing a painting by Camrose’s Audrey Pfannmuller, and on another occasion there seeing a fine exhibit by our local master photographer David Lyseng. On a recent visit to St. Mary’s Hospital, it was again my pleasure to stop to view paintings by local artists that adorn the hospital’s hallway walls. I recall there being an active art club in Camrose as long ago as the late 1940s. That was long before the existence of the Camrose Arts Society or the appointment by the City of Camrose of an arts director. It was also long before the creation of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, by the Province of Alberta, on the occasion of Alberta’s 75th anniversary in 1980. I heartily commend our municipal council who saw the importance of arts to the vitality and quality of community life, and to the provincial government that realized the value of investing in literary, visual and performing arts as well as cultural industries. Alberta Foundation for the Arts is the major source of grant funding for the arts in Alberta. It provides supports to artists and arts organizations. This makes it possible for artists to develop their latent artistic talents which, in addition to enhancing community well-being, also contributes positively to Alberta’s economy. Part of the mandate of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts is to collect and display the finest works of Alberta artists to every Albertan. This has been accomplished with TREX, its travelling exhibition program. Since 1980, this continually changing travelling display has gone to Alberta schools, libraries, health care centres and smaller institutions and art galleries throughout the province. Creative and innovative art defines people and depicts how they live and work. I was never more aware of this than when my husband and I once visited a small neighbourhood art show on the island of Bali. In Bali, the inhabitants did hard, manual labour in family groups on meticulous rice paddies on the slopes of gentle mountains; they skillfully carried baskets of produce and other merchandise on their heads, and fished with nets along sandy ocean shores before sunrise. We westerners would think this a hard life but their art works evoked emotions of peace, serenity, satisfaction and contentment. What do Alberta artists reveal about us? The presence of arts activities enriches our communities. May we be consistent supporters as artists, volunteers, donors and/or attendees at events such as this last week of the fourclub art show at the Chuck MacLean Art Centre.
On June 20, the Alberta Government announced Premier Alison Redford and her MLA team will fan out across the province this summer to discuss how government’s promise to improve access to publicly funded health care can work for individual communities. What does this mean for you? The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) has been working together with family doctors, health care providers and community stakeholders since 2005 to develop and implement “local solutions for local needs” supporting you in managing your health. The Camrose PCN offers quality programs and services including prenatal and postnatal care, diabetic management, medication reviews, weight management, geriatric assessment and grief and bereavement support. Along with your family doctor, you have access to a team of nurses, pharmacist, dietitian, mental health, exercise specialist, social worker and medical office assistants at the Smith Clinic, Gemini Health Centre, Bashaw Medical Clinic, City Centre Walk-In Clinic/Maternal Newborn Clinic and the Edgeworth Centre. The PCN believes in collaborating with other community pro-
viders to ensure our patients are aware of resources in and around their community. An example includes the AHS Healthy Living Centre and Augustana Fitness Centre. Working together, we offer a “one stop shop environment” giving you access to a variety of programs and services – health prevention to chronic disease management – all under one roof. At present, the Alberta Government is suggesting another model called Family Care Clinics. Within this proposed model, there is reference to individuals accessing health care and community providers without a referral from your family doctor. This means you could receive care from a variety of health care providers, without your family doctor being involved or updated on your care plan. I believe the key to a healthy community is developing and putting a plan into action which focusses on you, ensuring you are receiving the right care, at the right time, from the right provider using a team based approach along with your family doctor. The Camrose PCN team of family doctors and health care providers offer the majority of what is being suggested by the proposed Family Care Clinic model and by working together with you we can continue to be successful. This is what Primary Care is all about. Over the next two months the PCN and its board of directors will be meeting with the Honourable Verlyn Olson, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, about access to local health care. If you have questions or comments you would like the PCN to bring forward on your behalf, please send us an email at info@camrosepcn.com. The Camrose PCN is committed to and values working with government to strengthen
the awareness and accountability of PCNs. With the support of our family doctors, health care providers and community partners, we look forward to continuing to offer you quality primary care in Camrose and surrounding area. On behalf of the PCN team, I want to wish you and your family an enjoyable summer. Stacey Strilchuk, executive director Camrose Primary Care Network School taxes
The latest news I heard from our Battle River School Division has been something I found quite disturbing. As someone who pays city and county taxes, I was startled to see our local youth protesting in June. This was due to the Battle River School Division's latest stint of letting go teachers and staff. Obviously these teachers are not average teachers, but ones that our youth see as so important they decided to rally against the decisions that are so greatly affecting them. I have heard of numerous teachers and support staff being released from their duties and it saddens me that the Battle River School Division cannot find a more creative solution to their financial problems and obvious poor long term planning. Earlier this month the Camrose Composite High School sent four teachers to Baltimore, Maryland, in the United States for "Professional Development." Why in the midst of school turmoil and dismissal of staff have the Battle River School Division decided to send four staff, 3,000 kilometres away for a week? How much is this costing our school board? What a waste of my (our) education tax dollars. Vivian McCarthy, Camrose

BRCU completes renovations in Daysland
Battle River Credit Union celebrated the opening of its renovated Daysland branch July 19. Watching BRCU director Ron Pilger cut a ribbon were: (left to right) BRCU CEO Steve Friend, P. Hansen Construction Ltd. project manager Don Richter, BRCU associate vice president, banking operations, Pauline Marcinkowski, Daysland branch manager Ashley Szott, Daysland acting mayor Gail Watt and Daysland councillor James Robertson.

Battle River Credit Union celebrated the official opening of its newly renovated Daysland branch July 19. "We hope we have shown the community that we are here for the long term to help keep this community prosperous and growing," said Daysland branch manager Ashley Szott in a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony. Szott expressed appreciation to the community of Daysland and surrounding areas for the support that has been given to the BRCU over the years, the general contractor (Hansen Construction) and subcontractors, and BRCU staff and members for the perseverance and patience
ovation process. The renovations were carried out last fall and the first half of this year at a cost of just under half a million dollars. "We totally gutted the interior and added new teller lines, offices and furniture," said BRCU associate vice president, banking operations, Pauline Marcinkowski. "Outside we added a new corner entrance and a parkette." BRCU director Ron Pilger said the renovation is minor in relation to the commitment of the board and management to serving the non metro areas of rural Alberta. "It's about a quest to be com-
ing or renovating or potentially even expanding to communities that are the really small dots on the map – to those dots on the map that the big banks purposefully overlook or sell off." Pilger said Battle River Credit Union is focused on attracting and serving members in rural east central Alberta. "There's a lot more to this province than Edmonton, Calgary and the Highway 2 corridor. We know we can excel by providing full service banking in small towns and cities. It's about committing to a better way of banking and better buildings for staff and members to allow BRCU to do just that.

Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot
Over the past few years many constituents have contacted me to express their outrage and dissatisfaction with Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. Section 13 tries to combat discrimination and hate speech. Subsection 13(1) states: “It is a discriminatory practice for a person or a group of persons … to communicate … any matter that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that that person or those persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.” The first problem encountered with Section 13 is the word ‘likely’. The Canadian Human Rights Commission and Canadian Human Rights Tribunal have used this to decide (behind closed doors) to prosecute cases when these bureaucrats ‘feel’ that someone is ‘likely’ to have offended another person or group of people. This is not a narrowly defined legal definition, which would be far more appropriate. Under section 13 of the Cana-
dian Human Rights Act, truth is not a defence and intent is not a defence. Furthermore, under the rules of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal hearing, anyone accused under Section 13 is denied the right to due process; the right to a speedy trial; and, the right to an attorney. As we learned only a couple of years ago when the problems of Section 13 received much media attention, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal had a 100% conviction rate. Too many Canadians accused under Section 13 could not afford the tens of thousands of dollars required to mount a defence. At the same time, the legal costs of the accuser are fully covered. “This is simply unCanadian,” concluded my Alberta Caucus colleague Brian Storseth, MP (Westlock-St. Paul). He launched Private Member's Bill C-304 to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act by deleting Sections 13 and 54 to ensure there is no infringement on freedom of expression. Alleged victims of hate speech have used Section 13
to pursue frivolous complaints. They do this because their costs are paid for and they don’t incur the costs of pursuing the matter under the Criminal Code of Canada, or in a civil law suit. Section 13 has operated as an inexpensive way to cause damage to someone – even if the accused committed no crime. I voted in support of Bill C-304 at each stage as it progressed through the House of Commons. I am pleased to report that the Bill is currently before the Senate, and I predict it will be successful in repealing Section 13. Once again, I find that my constituents are ‘ahead of the political curve’, speaking out against the discriminatory effects of Section 13 before Bill C-304 was tabled. As your Member of Parliament, I have always had the benefit of hearing from my constituents and being able to represent us in the House of Commons knowing full well that I can stand up during debates and confidently state our case. I was proud to stand up for our human right to express ourselves – at home here in Canada!

The CAMROSE BOOSTER July 24, 2012
Harrison fires 67, places second in junior golf By Murray Green Camrose golfer Andrew Harrison shot a four under 67 to tie his best round during the McLennan Ross Junior Golf Tournament at the Camrose Golf Course on July 19. Andrew's score was good enough to capture his age group and for second place overall. "I didn't know how Tyler (Saunders) was playing today, but it took me a while to get going. I picked it up in the back nine and tried to give him a run for the title," said Andrew. "The back nine is easier for me because it has two par five's instead of one. Obviously, by my score I did alright, but I always want to improve. I have qualified for the final, but each outing is an opportunity to improve. The course here was really good and is always kept up." Tyler of the Glendale in Edmonton fired a 65 to emerge as the winner, something with which he has become familiar. He won last week in Ponoka and has won most of the tournaments he has entered. "I found the course to be difficult, although my score might not reflect that. I struggled in the first nine, but played well in the back nine," said Tyler, who is no stranger to winning his age group this year. "There is a lot of hidden trouble and it is pretty narrow. I was even after 11 holes and then I had a good finish. It is positive to see what you have been working on pay off in tournaments. You can work on things in practice, but until you have success on the course, you are not sure on how much you are improving." Tyler may have felt the local golfer breathing down his back. "He (Andrew) definitely pushes me a lot. I came here hoping to challenge him a bit, but I wasn't expecting this (shooting a 65). Andrew is a really good player." Andrew Harrison of Camrose was the runner-up again with a one over par 73. Andrew also had solid results in provincials (tied for 10) and the Future Links event. Emily Creaser of the Derrick Club in Edmonton won the girls' event in Camrose. "The course was in really good condition and this is the first time I've played here," said Emily, who has won five of the seven tour stops. "I liked the course, the competition was good." Although Carolyn Lee of the Glencoe in Edmonton won in Ponoka, Emily came in second to expand her lead in the Srixon Order of Merit standings. All three golfers have qualified for the season-ending Tour Championship at the Wolf Creek Golf Resort on Aug. 27.

Disability community unites in call for access By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Association for Community Living is joining similar organizations across the province in calling for the Alison Redford-led government to ensure in its new social policy framework that every adult and child with disabilities has access to the supports and assistance that will enable them to enjoy a life comparable to other Albertans, "The systems need to be amalgamated so there is consistency of service for families who have children with disabilities," said CAFCL executive director Esther McDonald. The Camrose Association for Community Living has been asked to provide input on the new social policy framework, which McDonald feels will be more user friendly and in the best interests of persons with disabilities. Under the current system the services for persons for disabilities change once they turn 18. There is one set of criteria for children under age 18 and an entirely different set of criteria for those who are over 18. "We have a person with a disability who just turned 18 who is living in a support home, with another family," said McDonald. "Now that she is part of the adult system the government won't give her the same amount that she was able to receive when she was a child. The same family is willing to care for her and look after her but they are supposed to get less money for doing the same job." The Alberta Disabilities Forum, a group of 43 not-forprofit provincial organizations of and for people with disabilities, noted in a July 13 press release that Alberta's current system of disability-related supports is fragmented, limited in scope and difficult to navigate. It adds that some people with disabilities are not eligible for supports or very few supports in comparison to others whose disabilities are eligible. "This is inequitable and unacceptable, resulting in desperate circumstances for far too many. In addition, the inadequacies of some of the programs, which limit needed supports or equipment, have unnecessarily negative and far reaching consequences." The Alberta Disabilities Forum states that the failure of the government to provide a seamless system of supports according to need and across disability and age will continue to result in lost opportunities and increased costs for Albertans that exceed costs to provide the assistance required by persons with disabilities. It feels that social policies that claim to be in the interests of all must include Albertans with disabilities and not marginalize and limit potential. "For Albertans to have a social policy inclusive of all Albertans, there must be universal access to disability-related supports across the lifespan."

May McCarthy (Grundberg) May (Eva Mary) Jack was born on July 11, 1934 in Edmonton to Norman and Eva Jack. She grew up at Colinton. Following completion of high school in Athabasca, she attended the University of Alberta, graduating in 1954 with a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics. A blind date led to her marriage to Vernon Grundberg on September 25, 1954. After residing briefly in Lethbridge, the couple moved with their newborn daughter, Sheryl, to the family farm north of Camrose. They had four more children Donna, Byron, Kevin and Joan. Farming alongside Vern, May also participated wholeheartedly in the activities of her family, church and community. Vern passed away in 1986. In 1987, May married Pat McCarthy, a neighbour and longtime family friend. She embraced his extended family and remained a part of their life. May and Pat moved into Camrose after living at the McCarthy farm for a short time. Pat passed away in 1993. May resided in her own home in Camrose until her death. May loved to spend time with her family and friends. Many happy memories were made at Baptiste Lake near Athabasca where she holidayed as a child at the family cabin. Her growing family continued this tradition. May continued to enjoy traveling with family and friends to locations near and far. May was diagnosed with cancer in 2010. She dealt with the unpleasant aspects of treatment with her typical positive and pragmatic attitude of “it is what it is.” May was predeceased by her parents; three older brothers Rob, Bruce and Wally; and husbands Vern and Pat.

Raymond Lawrence Brown July 1, 1931 – July 14, 2012 Raymond “Ray” Brown passed away peacefully in St. Mary’s Hospital on Saturday, July 14, 2012 at the age of 81 years. Raymond Lawrence Brown, third oldest son of James and Guste Brown, was born on July 1, 1931 on a farm near Holden, Alberta. The family homesteaded two miles east and five-and-ahalf miles north of Daysland. Ray grew up in a family of seven children – four brothers and two sisters. Ray started school in the Bateman School, north of Daysland, later taking two years at Daysland School before quitting to go work for a local seismic crew. Although the early times were hard, there was always time for some sort of recreation. Ray played baseball for the Bateman Baseball Team as their catcher and later coached boys’ baseball in Daysland. Starting at the age of 14, Ray also played hockey with the Daysland North Stars. At that time, hockey was very popular in Daysland and there was nothing more exciting than a hockey game in the Daysland Arena on a Saturday night. The five Brown brothers all played hockey at the same time which confused the fans, referees, timekeepers and announcers. Ray continued to play hockey for 25 years, then coached the team to numerous Battle River Hockey League championships. Ray was an avid golfer which he continued into his retirement. He helped construct the Daysland Golf Course as well as the first nine holes of the Double Dam Course near Rosalind. During the winter months, Ray also enjoyed curling and, in 1983, Ray represented Alberta as part of the Alberta Senior Men’s team in the Canadian championships held in Sarnia, Ontario. In his later years, he bowled on a mixed bowling team and still enjoyed playing cards, a good game of crib as well as entertaining and visiting with friends. Ray had a special love for children and always had a pocketful of candy or money for treating the kids. His working career began with the seismic crew travelling all over Alberta exploring for oil in the 1950s working for Hank Rennich (of Calgary) and Harry Kuntz (of Camrose). Moving closer to home, he worked at the Daysland Creamery, then for Ose Construction which operated out of Rosalind, and later for Curtis and Graham Construction of Strome. Except for a brief time working for Daysland General Hospital, he was employed with the Town of Daysland as the town engineer until his retirement. After his retirement, he continued to work with Ankerton Gas Co-op. He was an active member of the Daysland Fire Department and volunteer Ambulance Service. Ray spent his life helping others and was always someone you could rely on when in need. Ray married Marjorie Cambridge of Daysland in 1955. Ray and Marjorie had three children, Randy, Janice and Neil. Marjorie passed away in 1972 after a lengthy battle with cancer. Ray married Shirley (McHugh) Blatz in 1983 and two stepdaughters Lorie and Helena joined the family. Ray and Shirley moved to Camrose from Daysland in 1991. Ray was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. Nothing brought him more pleasure than spending time with his family. He will lovingly be remembered by his wife of 29 years, Shirley; son Randy (Lori) of Abbottsford, BC; daughter Janice (Blair) Kroetsch of Heisler; stepdaughters Lorie (James) Zimmer of Daysland and Helena (Andy) Johnson of LaPlata, Maryland, USA; 13 grandchildren: Kristy, Garret, Kayla and Gina Brown, Amanda (Eric) Nickerson, Derek (Melinda) Kroetsch, Chelsea (Clinton) Schimpf, Richard, Justin and Aleisha Zimmer, Beth, Amelia and Luke Johnson; three stepgrandchildren: Kevin, James (Crystal) and Michael (Katie) Riehl; four great-grandchildren: twins Reid and Seth Nickerson, Ada Kroetsch and Easton Schimpf; one stepgranddaughter Hailey Riehl; brothers Arthur (Donna-Faye) Brown and Sid (Cathy) Brown; sisters Marian Crouch and Myrtle (Jim) Gillespie; sister-in-law Arlene Brown; as well as many nieces, nephews and numerous friends. He was predeceased by his parents James and Guste Brown, his first wife Marjorie, his son Neil, brothers Elgin and Tom (Marianne), brother-in-law Ralph Crouch, nephew James and great-nephew Jason. A cheerful smile, a heart of gold, one of the best the world could hold. Never selfish, always kind, token memories he left behind. He was so very special, who can never be replaced. A private family service was held at Daysland Cemetery on Thursday, July 19, 2012. In lieu of other tributes, donations may be made to “Ride to Conquer Cancer” or the charity of your choice or, in an act of paying it forward, to “KidSport Camrose”. Condolences and donations may be made at Weber Funeral Home, #2 Mount Pleasant Drive, Camrose, AB T4V 2L7 or www.weberfuneralhome.ca.

Your love, support and kindness will never be forgotten.

County Legacy Grant passed on to CRE By Murray Green
The Camrose County approved a $50,000 legacy grant to the Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) for upgrades to the facility and grounds. The CRE is home to the 20th anniversary of the Big Valley Jamboree this Aug. 2 to 5 and the grant is approximately a quarter of the amount needed for the renovations. Some of the upgrades could be completed prior to the music festival. "I move that council approve funding under the Camrose County Legacy Grant Program to the Camrose Regional Exhibition in the amount of $50,000 for the upgrade of the Agri-Centre, including the arena and garden court as well as the exterior, along with improving light fixtures in both Pavilion A and
the UFA Pavilion," said councillor Brian Austrom. "The purpose of the legacy fund is to help local organizations. The money for the CRE was going to go, along with other monies they (CRE) raised, towards painting, floor replacement and other upgrades. Under our policy, we can give up to 25 per cent of the cost of the total project," said Reeve Don Gregorwich. "We consider the CRE to be a very important part of our community and this was an easily justifiable decision." Each year the county budgets some funds for the legacy grants. "If money is left over, we carry it over to the next year," explained Reeve Don. "This allows us to help a variety of community organizations within the county."
Councillor Trevor Miller said "The legacy fund was set up to help community organizations within the county that benefit a lot of people. We want it utilized in a positive manner. The CRE project helps a lot of people in the community because the facility is well used by residents living within the county and city. Some buildings need care and attention and this grant of taxpayers' money is going to benefit them because we know they use the facility for various agricultural shows and other functions. The facility is well used and everyone benefits from having upgraded buildings. We thought it was a good utilization of the legacy grant." Trevor said he likes the legacy fund because it helps local groups who may have trouble
Council wants more information before Mohler decision By Dan Jensen
Camrose council wants to gather a few more facts before making a decision regarding the development and funding of the Mohler Phase III subdivision. "We have asked administration to provide us with more information," said Mayor Marshall Chalmers. "They're hoping to bring something back to us by September." Among council's concerns is the question of whether the City has the financial room to move ahead with servicing costs anticipated to be $1.5 million in 2012, $1.3 million in 2013 and $200,000 in 2014. "It costs huge money to do the servicing," said Chalmers. "How are we going to fund those costs if in fact we decided to move ahead? Do we keep moving forward knowing what the economy has been like and have faith that we are coming out of the downturn? When is the right time to make that decision? We have to make sure we look at the big picture." City administration is recommending that funding for the servicing of the next phase of the Mohler subdivision be obtained through debenture borrowing rather than through the land fund. Council also has concerns about the requirement for developers to build within a certain period of time after purchasing the industrial land. The requirement that owners develop property within a two-year time frame was waived in 2009 after several requests were received by council for extensions. "Should the building time commitment be re-established, the City may have greater assurances that newly sold lands would be developed within a certain timeframe, which would lead to greater taxable assessment for the City," stated a recent report from City engineering services general manager Kriss Sarson. "However, it is recognized that, even under the former system, developers could be granted extensions to existing building commitments, although
this would require the specific approval of City council." City of Camrose economic development officer Ray Telford stressed at council's July 16 meeting the importance of having an adequate supply of developed industrial land. "The City of Camrose must make available serviced industrial and commercial land, in a shovel-ready state to respond quickly to opportunities, thus retaining businesses that are expanding and attracting new businesses," said Telford. "This is crucial, especially in a highly competitive environment that surrounds our city." Telford said some of the main benefits of having more industrial land are entrepreneurial development, resident and business attraction and workforce development. "Industrial land by the City will provide a mix and range of employment to meet long term needs and provide a diversified economic base, including maintaining a range and choice of suitable sites for employment users. If there is no developed industrial land our city will not be competitive and we will lose the labour force, residents and growth." Telford noted that business attraction and business retention/expansion will be a large component of the economic development plan that will be presented to City council in the fall. "We will be collaborating with various organizations such as the Rural Alberta Business Centre, Community Futures, BRAED and the Alberta Family Institute to develop strategies for business clusters for this area." Telford said economic development must be seen as an investment and not simply a cost. "The focus must be on the revenue-generating potential of economic development and the social benefits that will accrue to the community through prosperity and higher quality of life. Attracting firms to relocate to lower cost municipalities, with a strong existing manufacturing and industrial base, is very possible with a good land inventory."
finding funds for community projects. "This allows us to grant money to projects that best benefit the community. We can focus more on the county side of community projects to benefit people living in the county." The legacy program provides funding to construct new, or to upgrade, repair, renovate or otherwise improve existing community indoor or outdoor public-use facilities. Applications will be considered for projects that offer programs and facilities that are used by residents of Camrose County. The funding from the county may be used to help match funding obtained through provincial and/or federal programs such as the Centennial Legacies Grant Program, the Community Facility Enhance-
ment Program, the Community Initiatives Program, the Major Community Facilities Program, the Wild Rose Grant Program, etc. Projects must involve or benefit a significant segment of the population of the Camrose County. Applications must include all documentation requested in the application form and must be submitted to Camrose County, attention of the Recreation Committee. "We still have funding available for 2012," said Trevor. "People can download or pick up an application form from the office and follow the application process." The County asks that all information be complete so the committee can make a decision on the application.

Legion auction assists with move By Murray Green
The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will be moving to a new location sometime in 2013. To assist with the cost of this move, the Legion will be hosting a 25 cent auction on Sunday, Sept. 30. "The event will be geared towards the entire family, and filled with super duper fun," said Agnes Minnes. "Each number that you purchase gives you a chance to win a prize Each chance will cost a quarter."
The winners must match their numbers to the number drawn for the prize. "All things small add up to something big and great," added Agnes. "We are packaging prizes together to make them worth at least $200 each. We hope to have 20 to 30 packages." The doors to the Legion will open at 2 p.m. and the auction starts at 3 p.m. A full canteen with a meal, snacks and goodies for all will be available. The pool tables, dart boards and the facil-
ity will be open for families to enjoy during the auction. In order to make this event possible, the legion is currently seeking donations from the community. "We need to replace some items when we move. At least 25 per cent of what we raise will also go to charity." Contact Michelle at 780-6786814 or Agnes at 780-672-4302 if you have some items to donate. "We will gladly pick up any items you may have for this exciting event," Agnes concluded.

Simple precautions can reduce risk of west nile virus Alberta Health Services (AHS) is reminding Albertans that it’s once again time to fight the bite and protect themselves against West Nile virus infection. “Summer is all about enjoying the outdoors. Unfortunately, summer also brings exposure to mosquitoes,” says Dr. Gerry Predy, AHS Senior Medical Officer of Health. “Because some mosquitoes carry West Nile virus, it is important to try to avoid being bitten at all.” Whether gardening, golfing, fishing or even just relaxing out-
doors, all Albertans should follow these simple tips to prevent bites and protect themselves from West Nile virus: Wear mosquito repellent with DEET. Wear long-sleeved, lightcolored shirts and pants. Wear a hat. Consider staying indoors at dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. “These steps can make it harder for mosquitoes to find you – and, if they can’t find you, they can’t bite you,” says Dr. Predy. After being bitten by a mosquito carrying West Nile virus,
humans can develop West Nile Non-neurological Syndrome (formerly known as West Nile fever) and, occasionally, the more serious West Nile Neurological Syndrome. Some people who become infected with Non-neurological Syndrome show no symptoms at all; however, the symptoms that could occur can be uncomfortable, including fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, skin rash, swollen glands and headache. For the small number of individuals who do develop the Neurological Syndrome, infection can lead to
tremors, drowsiness, confusion, swallowing problems, high fever, unconsciousness, paralysis and even death. In 2011, 102 cases of West Nile virus were confirmed in Canada. Although no cases were reported in Alberta (in 2011), Dr. Predy warns Albertans not to take the risk of West Nile virus lightly. “West Nile virus infection can cause severe illness with debilitating, lifelong effects, particularly in older adults. I urge all Albertans to continue to fight the bite,” he says.
For more information and tips, Albertans can visit www. fightthebite.info or call Health Link Alberta, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, toll-free at 1.866.408.5465 (LINK). Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than 3.7 million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Shane Watt is looking for someone to publish his book about being a hockey dad. By Dan Jensen
Everyone reads The Booster…
The Camrose and Area Children’s Choir had the opportunity of their lives (thus far) when they performed three times in Ottawa on Canada Day. In the morning they combined talents with a dozen other choirs (382 total choristers) in their debut performance. In the afternoon, led by renowned Professor Friesen from the University of Manitoba and a Quebec pianist, they performed in front of the Ottawa Symphony. In their final performance, in the evening, the young and talented group had the opportunity to appear on-stage with Maritimes Violinist, Natalie McMaster. Our thanks to Ray Hurley of Camrose for this photo taken of the group, in front of Rideau Hall. For his efforts we are sending him a cheque for $10.00. Do you enjoy reading The Camrose Booster?

Shane Watt may never have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup but he has his name on a book. And that may be almost as good. Watt's The Big Leagues is part hockey instruction manual and part personal narrative. "The book combines stories about my family's quest to win the cup with a what parents can do to raise the next hockey superstar," said Watt. The Big Leagues' central figure is Watts' son (The Boy), who is described near the beginning as "a bundle of hockey possibilities – eight pounds four ounces of potential Norris Trophy material." Much of the material in the book's first three chapters is devoted to Watts' interaction with his son in the way he pre-selects his favourite team, teaches him to shoot left (Canada's preference), and introduces him to his precious hockey gear. "It's a story about love between a father and son," said Watt. "I love being with my boy and love playing hockey with him." In chapter five, Watt tells how he takes "The Boy" on frozen paradise for his first shinny hockey game and first goal ever. The book also shares a few of Watt's fondest hockey memories as he grew up in Camrose. More than one reference is made to the famous 1972 series that pitted the best players from Canada against the best players from Russia. Chapter eight contains the warning to keep the head up, lest you end up like the Russian who was felled by a vicious elbow in the 1980s from Team Canada player Mark Messier. Watt's instruction in the book is simple, touching on everything from dressing properly for the conditions of outdoor rinks, proper warm-ups and the benefits of continued practice. In one chapter he suggests that many young players do not know or understand that a stick has two sides and that parents need to explain this concept. In another, he provides a detailed explana-
tion of the approximately 37 steps required to dress "The Boy" and get him to the ice before the Zamboni is finished. Chapter 10 delves into the special circumstances involving a girl in minor hockey and "possible non-invasive medical remedies available for you and "The Girl" to still pursue a dream of The Cup. Watt gained much of his own appreciation for the game of hockey from his father, Jim Watt (The Country Gentleman) who covered sports for a number of years for CFCW and The Camrose Booster. "The book includes a lot of the stories that my father told me and that should be of particular interest to readers from Camrose," said Watt. The Big Leagues is intended to be the first part of a trilogy that Watt hopes will reach a fitting conclusion when his son realizes the ultimate dream of every Canadian boy of playing in the NHL. "I am doing the trilogy in segments," said Watt. "The first part covers the first six years of life in hockey. I have written a large part of it sitting in the stands with my laptop while my son is playing in games or practicing with his teammates." Watt is still awaiting word from a book agent about plans to publish and market The Big Leagues, so for now is trying to do as much as possible in order to promote it. "I am well aware of the arts business and what you have to do to get your name recognized," said Watt. "I know I will need an agent to help me with the book's sales." Watt is currently a part of the Knights of Columbus Minor Hockey Association and the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Saturday morning hockey team, and is the owner/operator at Perfect Hockey Power Skating. He has made appearances in numerous film and television shows, and has toured Australia, Hawaii and the Caribbean.

Toyota Corolla Sophisticated new design
Ben Tobiasson Toyota City By Dan Jensen
The Toyota Corolla at Toyota City in Wetaskiwin, delivers even more value for 2012. "The car has new feature content that is bound to make it even more popular," explains Toyota City sales manager Ben Tobiasson. Toyota has been a standard bearer for quality and dependability for more than 40 years. New audio system
The Corolla CE with enhanced convenience package receives $646 worth of upgrades, including a six speaker audio system with steering mounted controls, Bluetooth capability and heated seats. The Corolla S receives a new audio system, while the Corolla S with moonroof package includes automatic headlamps, automatic climate control and seats with colour contrast stitching. Corolla S models with the navigation package feature leather seats, a moonroof, bluetooth steering wheel controls, display audio with navigation, SMS and e-mail to speech recognition, phonebook and streaming audio, XM satellite radio and display of artist, song and art for a connected iPod. The Corolla XRS features automatic headlamps and automatic climate control as standard features, and leather seating surfaces. The Corolla LE receives the biggest suite of updates – more than $1,400 worth, including Bluetooth, moon roof and heated seats. Performance and efficiency
The 2012 Toyota Corolla CE, LE and S models are powered by a 132-horsepower, 1.8 litre four-cylinder engine with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (Dual VVT-i) that delivers performance and efficiency. For even more impressive performance, the 2012 Corolla XRS is fitted with a 158-horsepower, 2.4 litre four-cylinder engine with VVT-i. Both engines feature a direct ignition system and electronic throttle control system with intelligence to maximize power while minimizing fuel use, and both achieve a Tier 2 Bin 5 emissions rating. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the CE, S and XRS. The LE is fitted with a four-speed automatic with overdrive, which is also available for the Corolla CE and S.
The Corolla XRS is available with a five-speed automatic with overdrive and sequential multi-mode shifter. The combined city/highway fuel efficiency with the four-speed automatic is 6.8 litres per 100 km. The combined city/highway fuel efficiency with the five speed automatic is 8.1 litres per 100 km. Handling and control
Driving confidence is assured with responsive steering and a smooth ride. Electric power steering is quick and precise at all speeds, while boosting fuel efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Up front, Corolla's MacPherson struts are optimized to reduce vibration, while a light, compact torsion beam suspension holds the rear. Both feature coil springs and are enhanced with stabilizer bars. The suspension on XRS models benefits from roadhugging sport-tuning for fun-to-drive handling and agility. An electric power-assist steering system uses a compact motor, speed reducer and torque sensor built into the steering column. The system varies the amount of assistance according to engine RPM and vehicle speed. The result is appropriate weight and responsiveness at higher speeds, and light effort at low speeds. Electric power steering reduces parasitic losses to the engine, thereby aiding fuel economy. It is also environmentally efficient because it does not require any hydraulic oil. Safety
From its impact absorbing structure to advanced active and passive safety systems, every 2012 Toyota Corolla is engineered to help prevent accidents, and to
protect driver and passengers if an accident occurs, offering peace of mind to drivers and passengers. All Corolla models are standard equipped with Toyota Star Safety System, a suite of six active safety technologies designed to protect occupants by helping drivers avoid accidents. The Toyota Star Safety System includes Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Antilock Braking System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and brake assist enhancements, plus Smart Stop Technology. Vehicle Stability Control automatically adjusts engine output and the vehicle's braking force at individual wheels to help control any discrepancy between where the driver is steering and where the vehicle is heading. All Corolla models are equipped with six standard airbags, including advanced front airbags, front seat-mounted airbags, and front and rear side-curtain airbags. Seatbelt pretensioners retract the seat belt at the time of a frontal collision, while the dual-stage force limiter helps limit the seat belt force applied to the passenger's chest. Comfort and convenience
The Corolla's driving position and front seats are tailored to a wider range of driving heights. A standard tilt and telescopic steering wheel in all models makes it easy for taller drivers to find a comfortable position. A multiinformation display presents a variety of information, including outside temperature, instant fuel economy, average fuel economy and travel distance. The Corolla's rear bench seat offers space and comfort for three adults. Careful attention to exhaust system routing provides a nearly flat rear floor, enhancing comfort for the middle passenger. Three interior colour schemes are available: ash, dark charcoal and bisque. Easy-to-reach storage spaces provide convenience and usability. These include centre console side pockets, a storage box above the usual glove box, front and rear door pockets that can safely hold 20-ounce bottles, a console box with a large-capacity main tray, an overhead console useful for storage of sunglasses or garage-door openers, and front and rear door storage pockets with sculpted bottle holders.
You can see the 2012 Toyota Corolla at Toyota City, 4120-56 Street, Wetaskiwin. Phone 780-352-2225 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Art show features work from four clubs
By Murray Green
During the 17th annual Camrose Artwalk, paintings, photographs and sculptures are featured at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre until Tuesday, July 31. "This is an opportunity to bring the various art clubs together for the first time. We have a show here at the arts centre that features work from four different clubs. There are a lot of beautiful pieces," said coordinator Jane Cherry-Lemire with the Camrose Arts Society. Several clubs are working together to display their work at one location. "I'm hoping that they will mingle and it may lead to the various clubs working together in the future," Jane said. "The Mirror Lake, Bashaw and Bittern Lake art clubs, along with the Camrose Camera Club have displays in the main Kinsmen Hall at the Chuck MacLean Art Centre. Independent artists Diane McLaren, Rita Sherman and Yvonne King also have work on display." Artists Jeannette McDonald, Donelda Adams and Norma Ruhl were excited to have their work mixed with other clubs. "This show has evolved over time and we are so happy that Jane could put this all together for us," said Jeannette of the Mirror Lake Art Club. "Some of us have had the opportunity to take art classes through the CMAC and were aware of the artwalk," said Donelda from the Bashaw Art Club. "Yvonne is involved in both art and photography and wanted us to be involved in this show. It is great to have someone like Jane who put so much work into putting on a show like this. One little show is one day for four hours. I don't think some people realize what a gem this is to have so much talent in one place." Norma said art is the greatest hobby. "If you are interested in arts, you see things and visualize the beauty of the world. It is fantastic to have different groups come together to share in ideas." The clubs are eager to see what other artists are doing. "You always have traditional things, but you get exposed to different forms of art. To see the different ideas helps you as an artist as well," said Donelda. "This is a good facility to have four clubs share a show." The artists would like more visitors. "If we could do a show like this every year, we could get more people out to enjoy the art work," said Norma. "Sometimes it takes a couple of years to catch on and for people to realize just how good a show this is," added Donelda. The show is open on Saturday and Sunday afternoons as well as Monday to Friday during the day for visitors. For more information on the show, call Jane Cherry-Lemire with the Camrose Arts Society at 780672-9949. The Chuck MacLean Arts Centre is located below the Wildrose Co-op grocery store.

The Battle River Community Foundation loves animals. Director David Ofrim made a grant of $105 to Battle River Animal Protection Society (BRAPS) president Laura Houseman to assist with the care of animals until they find a home. The BRCF grant was made possible by the Jean and Fred Molnar Fund and the Alice Ofrim Fund. A flow through donation of $700 to BRAPS was also granted through the Alice Ofrim Fund earlier this year. Alice is an aunt to David. Both of these endowment funds were created for the care, shelter and adoption of animals in the area. "The funds are used for the care of the animals. It goes towards the cost of veterinarian bills, food and litter," said Laura. The Battle River Animal Protection Society is a non-profit organization operated solely by volunteers and funded by public donations. Its mission is advocating for animals in the Battle River area by protecting them from neglect, abuse and abandonment with a vision of having a shelter to serve the Battle River area for animals in need. "We rely solely on donations from the community and we value the support we receive from the BRCF (through the Ofrim and Molnar funds) to help us care for lost, abused or abandoned animals," said Laura. "We really appreciate the help the community has given us." BRAPS holds many events such as Wet Nose Wednesday's at 8:50 a.m. on CAM-FM, Bake N' Buds, Adoption Day, Pet First Aid Course, an annual "Show Us Your Heart" fundraiser and the annual Pet Walk. Many of these events are fundraisers to provide the care and shelter of animals. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects in East Central Alberta, which benefit local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Contributions to the BRCF are permanently invested in endowment funds, currently valued in excess of $6.5 million. The principal remains untouched and the income is made available annually to support projects such as the Battle River Animal Protection Society. Some grant funding is also made available by generous donors who make flow-through gifts to the Battle River Community Foundation. Since its founding in 1995, the BRCF has granted over $1,466,000 to worthwhile projects and initiatives in Camrose and throughout the Battle River area. To learn more about the Battle River Animal Protection Society contact Laura Houseman at braps@hotmail.ca or 780-678-5713. For more information about the Battle River Community Foundation or to create an endowment fund, contact Kerry Grettum, executive director at 780-679-0449 or visit the website at www.brcf.ca.

If you experience these symptoms, tell someone immediately. If you note these symptoms in someone else: • Take charge. The victim will likely deny what is happening. • Insist that the victim stop all activity and sit or lie down. • Ask if the victim is being treated for heart disease or stroke. If so, help with medication. • Call your local emergency number. • Get the victim to the nearest hospital. You must act immediately! Half of all heart attack deaths occur before the victim gets to hospital.
Check pool regulations By Murray Green
Hot afternoons with cranky children can be turned into fun with a swimming pool and water. However, you might want to check with the City of Camrose before constructing the pool. "It is a requirement of the building code to have a permit for the installation of swimming pools," said Kim Isaak, general manager of corporate and protective services. A backyard wading or children's inflatable pool means a structure, basin or tank containing an artificially created pool of water that is 600 mm or fewer in depth throughout and is used for swimming, bathing, wading or other similar purposes. Neither fencing, nor a circulation system is required for a wading pool that is not operated in conjunction with, or in the same enclosure as a swimming pool. A wading pool must be made of a durable material that is impervious to moisture and retains a slip-resistant texture. Hot tubs

Bawlf hosts Summer Games basketball preview By Murray Green
Although Ryan White of Bawlf and Colin Bratrud of Round Hill don't live that far apart, they will be on opposing basketball teams at the Alberta Summer Games. The two faced each other when Bawlf hosted an exhibition basketball game between Zone 4 (that includes the local area) and Zone 7 (Lakeland and area) prior to the Summer Games in Lethbridge on July 26 to 29. Ryan has been practising with his team since the end of April in Red Deer. Colin, whose family lives eight miles east of Round Hill, falls into Zone 7 that represents the area to the Saskatchewan border and up to the top of the province, including Fort McMurray. "I attend Ryley School and we had tryouts for this team in Vermilion," said Colin. "Making this Summer Games team is good because it gives me confidence to go on with basketball." Even though the zones border each other, the travel distance for some of the players is a lot. Since the basketball game in Bawlf was already scheduled, the clubs agreed to extend the game by an extra quarter to ensure all players received plenty of playing time to prepare for the Games. There is a chance the two teams could meet again in the Summer Games. Colin is excited to play as a Grade 9 student this fall and
Colin Bratrud is on Zone 7.
Ryan White is on Zone 4.
prepare for the high school level. "I would like to play at the college level if I get the chance. I play mostly point guard, so it is my job to pass the ball around and start the offence," said Colin, who is a Boston Celtics fan. "Playing in the Summer Games is a good learning experience and I want to take the things I learn into next season so I can keep improving." Colin sees the Games as a huge opportunity. "The whole
experience will be good. It is a chance to meet new people, learn a higher level of basketball and help me get used to taller and better players." Ryan also views the Summer Games as a valuable experience. "I'm going into Grade 10 next year and playing at the high school level. It is a transition to move from junior high to the high school level and playing on a team like this and going to the
Games will help me make the jump," said Ryan. The Bawlf squad he played on last year placed second in regionals. "It was a hard fought game and we did really well," added Ryan. "It is a lot of hard work to make a team like this, but I'm prepared for it. My strength is that I give it my all the entire game. I want to raise my skill level, as well as have fun this summer. The high school level is more structured and there are
set plays. I want to learn more and be ready for the next level." Ryan hasn't set any goals for the Summer Games. "I just want to go in and take in the whole experience and have fun, while improving my game. I would like to win, but taking it all in and learning is more important. I recommend to anyone that if they have a chance to go to the Games, do it. It will be a great experience."

The large and bright kitchen features a layout that allows the culinary artists in the family to easily prepare meals. There is plenty of counter space and cupboard storage. An eating area joins the kitchen with the huge living room. It is a great place to greet family and friends, or just kick back after a long day of work. The roomy master bedroom contains plenty of closet space. The main level also has a second bedroom and a fourpiece bathroom. Only seven years old, this home features contemporary colours and is ready for your move in. The finished basement features large windows and
was professionally completed last year. It boasts a beautiful family room, two goodsized bedrooms, a three-piece bathroom, a laundry area and plenty of space for storage. The huge patio deck was also finished last year and it offers a great view of the backyard. The large storage shed in the back provides plenty of space for yard and garden equipment. The big barbecue is included and is especially useful when cooking a good meal for guests. The backyard offers plenty of space for parking or a future garage. It is connected to a paved back alley.

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.
CHILI LUNCH IN SUPPORT OF NEIGHBOR AID – Aug. 2, 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., St. Andrew’s Anglican Church Hall, 4713-50 St., Camrose. Adults: $8; Under 12: $5. Sponsored by Messiah Lutheran, Bethel Lutheran and St. Andrew’s Anglican Churches. PARKLAND LUTHERAN CHURCH PICNIC – 14 km. east of Camrose on Hwy. 26. Aug. 12. Service: 2:00 p.m. Speaker: Rev. Bill Harder. Barbecue to follow w/ hamburgers, hot dogs. Bring lawn chairs, salad or dessert. CANADIAN MENTAL HEALTH FUNDRAISING BARBECUE – August 2 - 4, 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. M&M Meat Shops.
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.

Kraft wins age category at Five Peaks running series By Murray Green
Augustana running coach Gerhard Lotz and Camrose running veteran Gordon Kraft both won their age divisions in the Five Peaks cross-country enduro series on the ski trails, Saturday, July 14. Local university runner Andrew Brisbin just missed finishing in the top five of the overall enduro standings. Camrose area athletes were well represented at the run. "This is a great race because everyone can compete at their own level. I like to be competitive, but others run for the fun of it," said Gordon, who entered his second event. "I entered the Devon run last year and came in second. It is uplifting, rewarding and reemphasizes your determination. It is a good way to keep on track with fitness. Running is so much fun." Gordon was pushed into running. "I worked at Border Paving for 30 years and it was very stressful
work. I would get home exhausted and there was no way I could run," explained Gordon. "I would sit down on the chesterfield and begin watching television. My daughter asked me if I would go for a run. I said I can't, I'm too tired. She said I look nicer when I run. When my 10-year-old said that to me, it was time for me to run." Gordon said cross-country running has given him an opportunity to see nature, reduce stress and finds it to be good exercise for him. "It is rewarding and fun because you can travel and don't have to run around the same track. You have the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors," added Gordon. "I like to run by myself, but having a lot of good runners in this community has inspired me to be active. It's a good feeling knowing that I can still keep up at times. Health is important and running allows me to keep in shape, so I can still do some of the things I like to do."
Gordon said the community and the university have done a great job in providing a good course for running and skiing. The children's race is one kilometre, the sport course is eight km and the enduro course is 12.5 km. All children under 10 were declared winners. In total, about 360 runners entered the event. Without two of the fastest local runners entered, Francois Leboeuf of Edmonton won the event with a time 57:50. Last year, Robert Renman edged Brendan Lunty by five seconds to cross the finish line in 55:16 in the same 12.5 kilometre enduro category. Andrew placed sixth overall, but was second in the men's 20-29 age division. Cody Dodd of Camrose, in the same category, placed 11th overall and fourth in the age group. Gerhard finished 17th overall and first in his age division, while Gordon was 26th and first in the over 60 category. Devon Havinga of
Camrose was 24th and Jason Ernst came in 41st. Other local runners included Beth Fraser, 73rd; Patrick McFeely, 101st; and Hay Lakes runner Claudine Coggins, 136th. A total of 168 runners entered the enduro event. In the sport race, Jordan Fontaine was the top local runner, placing ninth overall and fourth in the men's 30-39 category. Bryan Cole of Camrose crossed the finish line in 14th place, but was first in the men's 15-19 age group. City athlete Lauren Brookes was the top female and placed 30th overall. Other local runners included Russell These, 16th; Andrew Agrey, 17th; Neal Isnor, 22nd; Tom Layton, 27th; Alvin Eyolfson, 29th; Melissa Stuckky, 93rd; Brianna Schultz, 98th; Cindy Skjaveland of Ferintosh, 156th; and Tracey Burtnack, 164th. A total of 176 runners entered the sport category.

Follow rules to become Canadian citizen Living in a foreign country can be a great experience. A chance to see the world through another culture's perspective, moving to a non-native place is something millions of people choose to do. For some, simply visiting or living in a foreign country for a short duration isn't enough. Some people love their adopted country so much they pursue citizenship in their new home. For those who have discovered that Canada is the place they want to permanent call home, becoming a Canadian citizen is necessary. To become Canadian citizens, Citizenship and Immigration Canada notes that there are many requirements before a person is considered eligible. Age
Adults must be at least 18 years old to apply for Canadian citizenship. If applying for citizenship for a child under the age of 18, certain conditions must be met. The person applying must be the child's parent, adoptive parent or legal guardian. Another condition involves the child's residency. The child must be a permanent resident but does not need to have lived in Canada for three years. The final requirement is that the parent or adoptive parent must be a Canadian citizen or in the process of applying for Canadian citizenship. Residential status
In order to become a Canadian citizen, an applicant must have permanent resident status in Canada, and that status cannot be in doubt. Residency status will be investigated and an immigration inquiry will be conducted. Adults applying for Canadian citizenship must have lived in Canada for three years in the four years prior to applying. During that four-year period, an applicant has to have lived in Canada for no less than 1,095 days. Children applying for Canadian citizenship do not need to meet this residency requirement. In some cases, time spent in Canada before becoming a permanent resident can be counted toward residency requirement as long as that time fell during the four-year period. Language
Canada's two official languages are English and French. To become a Canadian citizen, an applicant must have adequate knowledge of at least one of these languages. The citizenship knowledge test and interactions with CIC staff will be used to assess an applicant's familiarity with either language. CIC staff will make sure applicants understand basic statements and questions, and applicants must be able to communicate basic information and respond to questions. Criminal History
An application for Canadian citizenship will be denied if an applicant: * has been convicted of a criminal offense or an offense under the Citizenship Act in the three years prior to applying * is currently being charged with a criminal offense or an offense under the Citizenship Act.
