Camrose Founders Days 2011 get underway on Friday, August 12, and wind up on Sunday, August 14. This year, the pioneer spirit and the visionary work of three individuals will be recognized. They are: M.A. Maxwell, the town engineer instrumental in our community’s municipal water system and electrical plant; Rev. T. T. Carlson, a key figure in the founding of Camrose Lutheran College as well as several local and county churches; and Carla Didrickson-Hoyme, perhaps the most notable person in the legendary music program of Camrose Lutheran College. Also celebrated will be 100 years of history of Camrose Railway Museum, Camrose Lutheran College, David Theatre (now the Bailey Theatre), Fram Ski Club, Camrose Curling Club, the first football team, and a century of electricity and water service to Camrosians.

For a full look at the schedule of entertainment and Camrose Founders Days activities, look inside this issue of The Home Team Paper!

Honey bees stop highway traffic

By Murray Green

RCMP officers were busy as bees when the honey makers forced the closure of Highway 13 on August 4.

Bees escaped when a truck carrying them rolled into the ditch and about 104 hives spilled along the highway. The bees were not in the best of mood after the crash, and RCMP issued a temporary advisory for drivers to be on the lookout for the angry insects. Traffic was detoured

on Highway 13 between Range Roads 173 and 174, between Ohaton and Bawlf.

RCMP reported that the accident happened when a truck wheel left the highway's shoulder and went into the ditch. The flatbed truck rolled onto its side and skidded after the driver tried to get the tire back on the road.

The owner of the bees arrived on the scene and advised the fire department to spray a mixture of water and foam. RCMP say that

killed some bees, but they were able to settle the rest down after a period of time. The owner also arranged for several employees to help clean up. The surviving bees with hives where loaded into two vehicles and returned home. The highway was then reopened.

The truck driver was taken to hospital, but was released.

The insects are European honey bees, which are usually not aggressive, unless provoked or agitated.

Verlyn Olson throws support behind Gary Mar

By Dan Jensen

Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson has thrown his support behind Gary Mar in the Progressive Conservative leadership race.

Olson said he is impressed with Mar's leadership qualities and people skills.

"He is a team builder who is

well known around the province and who is not simply identified with one of one part of the province."

Olson feels Mar's recent experience in Washington, DC positions him well to be a leader of a province that is so reliant on foreign markets.

Olson said he has already

started to get a bit involved in Mar's election campaign.

"Last night (Aug. 4), for example, I was in Leduc at a dinner party for Gary."

While he is supporting Mar, Olson has been impressed with all the candidates.

"We have some really strong candidates," he said.

"I think they all have their own unique strengths."

Mar noted in a campaign stop in Camrose May 2 that in order to bring greater diversity to what it makes and where it is sold, Alberta needs to give young people the skills they need to participate in the globalized economy and be competitive, as well as

improve its infrastructure so that what is made here can get to the market in the fastest way.

He is optimistic that Alberta can be a great economic driver in Canada if it has the right policies in place.

Mar served three years as Alberta's official representative to the United States.

Judds and Aldean lead BVJ to a Saturday sellout

By Murray Green

The Big Valley Jamboree set an attendance record for a Saturday. It was completely sold out on Saturday, July 30.

Thanks to the perfect mix of the Judds' popular mother and daughter act and headliner Jason Aldean's appeal to young country music fans, 25,000 people filled the concert bowl at the Camrose Regional Exhibition.

"We went into the festival with a 16.5 per cent increase in sales," said Larry Werner, producer of BVJ for Panhandle Productions.

"We had good weather on Saturday and a really good line-up. Last year, we sold out for the first time on Sunday with Keith Urban, but the demographics were different. Jason Aldean attracted a much younger crowd and he put on a great show. Music fans like to see good Canadian acts mixed in with some top international talent."

The combination of the final two acts made the evening fun for everyone. "It was interesting to watch those who loved the classic country and the new country. There was a lot of emotion during the Judds' show and Jason Aldean really rocked the crowd.

Larry admitted he may have gambled by booking Jason Aldean as the headliner. "We have been watching this guy for some time.

He is definitely bigger in the States then he is here, but he is coming and he is coming like a freight train. He has got the songs, the attitude and the showmanship. It is just a matter of time before he hits it big in Canada. Sometimes you have to luck out a little bit. I think we were lucky to have him here right when he is starting to peak. He is definitely going to get bigger, but we caught him at the right time."

The outdoor music festival had a large crowd for Sunday's show, but headliner Toby Keith didn't hit the stage. "We want to thank Ronnie Dunn for playing an extra 45 minutes for us; he did a great job," said Larry on the main stage. "Unfortunately, Toby has lost his voice, has a sore throat and can't perform. He has tried, but just can't do it."

Sawyer Brown's show was cut 10 minutes short at the kick-off party because of heavy rain. "We were having a good night until then. When it cools off, our beer sales drop off, which is part of the whole package. We still think we had a good line-up this year.

"Next year will our 20th year and we want to make it special," concluded Larry.

Rascal Flatts is the first band confirmed for the anniversary.

In just 10 years, Rascal Flatts has become one of the best acts in country music.

Moores sue BVJ despite community support

By Murray Green

Despite the fact the community, Panhandle Productions and entertainers volunteered to help raise funds for the Donna Moore family, her two sons are suing after their mother was killed during a stage collapse at a Big Valley Jamboree concert in Camrose, on August 1, 2009. The filed suit is seeking more than $5 million from the promoter, the city and various other companies.

Moore, 35, of Lloydminster, was reportedly seated in a VIP section on the main stage at the Big Valley Jamboree when a storm caused the stage to collapse. She was crushed by a falling speaker.

"We have maintained that we have done everything right," said Larry Werner, producer of the Big Valley Jamboree at Panhandle Productions. "We have closed down the stage several times before when we thought the weather was bad.

Last year, we cut Miranda Lambert short. We might err on the side of caution, but it is what we have to do. We have been doing this for 19 years

Council allocates MSI funding

Welcome Home At Sunrise your independence is important to us.

By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose's 2011 MSI operating grant of $238,649 will be divided five different ways.

Camrose Railway Station Museum and Park will receive $19,200, Camrose and District Centennial Museum $25,000, the Camrose Public Library $84,449, and the Community Centre $75,000.

A total of $35,000 will go towards the purchase of software and hardware to improve communication between City council and the public and administration.

"This project provides easier access to information and encourages the use of electronic information, thus reducing the City's impact on the environment," said Diane Urkow, general manager, financial services, in a report to City council July 25.

The grant for the Camrose Community Centre will be used to help with a sprinkler system retrofit.

The project fits the life cycle maintenance description and insures the safety of the users of the facility.

The total budget for the sprinkler system retrofit is $115,000.

The funding for the Camrose Public Library will be applied to existing grant funding approved in the 2011 operating budget.

"This is not new or additional funding to the library," said Urkow. "The library project was selected with consideration to the direction provided by the province to support libraries."

The funding for the Camrose and District Centennial Museum and the Camrose Railway Station Museum and Park will be applied to the existing grant funding approved in the City's 2011 operating budget.

The museum grant projects were selected with consideration to the direction provided by the province in support of not-for-profit organizations.

The City of Camrose received $248,031 in MSI operating grant funding in 2008, $246,554 in 2009 and $237,846 in 2010.

Camrose Spirals attend nationals

By Dan Jensen

Members of the Camrose Spirals jump rope team returned home with heads held high after competing in the Canadian Skipping Championships at the SAIT gymnasium July 19 to 22.

"I'm proud of how they performed," said Camrose Spirals Non profits coach Janine Carroll.

Five Camrose non-profit "Not everyone won medals organizations will share a 2011 but they all competed hard."

Priority is could was what carried them through to the third place standgiven to social, educational, environmental, recreational, cultural ing," said Carroll. and historic programs/projects.

"They weren't expecting to

win and that removed some of the pressure."

In individual competition, 13-year-old Candice Chartrand placed sixth out of 33 skippers in the 12 to 14 age category.

In the freestyle event, which was one of the four events in which she (along with thirty-second speed, three-minute endurance and three-minute double under), she was the top skipper in Canada.

"She has one more year of eligibility in her age group, so if she has a good day at the championships next year she has a chance at finishing in the medals," said Carroll.

Myles Bogstie placed second in the highly competitive 15 to 17 male category, while Carley Angelstad placed second in the 15 to 17 three-minute endurance event.

"Carley was plagued by injuries this year so she decided to concentrate in the two events that she was really good at and not go into the other two," said Carroll.

The individual competitions were set up in such a way that skippers had to perform well in

all four of their events in order to claim a medal.

"You could perform well in three of the events but if you didn't do well in the fourth event you might have been on the outside looking in," said Carroll.

The competition was the last for Hona Huber, who placed fourth in the triple under and fourth in the three-minute endurance in the 18 plus category.

Huber was the last active Spiral team member who was part of the bronze medal-winning team at the World Skipping Championships in 2006.

"Hona's now passed the baton on to the younger kids," said Carroll.

"It's up to them now to keep the level of performance high."

The Camrose Spirals had 65 skippers in the recreational club in 2010-2011, and over 40 in the competitive club, numbers that are expected to be close to the same when the new season gets underway in September. The recreational club meets at Sifton School Monday and Thursday from 6 to 7 p.m. and are followed immediately by the competitive club, which goes from 7 to 9.

Once Christmas arrives and the competitive season begins, the competitive club will step up practices to three to four nights a week.

The Camrose Spirals will be hosting the Alberta Skipping Championships in Camrose next April.

"We are celebrating our 20th year as a club in 2012, so we are hoping to make the championships extra special," said Carroll.

The club will also be sending athletes to the 2012 national championships, which are scheduled to be held in New Brunswick.

"The number we take will depend on who qualifies at provincials and who wants to go," said Carroll. "Some of the skippers we have are happy to stop at provincials and don't aspire to go any further."

The competition at provincial championships will be getting tougher in the future, as more kids get interested in skipping as a sport.

"We've seen four or five new clubs start up in the last two years and a new one is starting in Ponoka this year," said Carroll.

Graveyard tour Saturday evening

By Dan Jensen

Newly-married Bernard and Edith Pedersen in front of their first greenhouse in 1935.

Our roots go deep into Camrose Some 70 years ago, the Pedersen family began putting roots down in Camrose – literally, by starting a little greenhouse on what is now 58 Street. Today we’re still into roots, and petals, and plants … well, you get the idea.

But most importantly, we believe in the future of our community and we enjoy being a part of it.

We’re proud of Camrose and its rich heritage.

We hope to see you downtown during Founders Days and invite you to stop in for a visit.

Working at the car wash The Camrose Children's Centre Summer Program had a fundraising car wash to raise money for a special summer end trip. The children will be voting on what they would like to do for this special trip in the next few weeks. The car wash raised $100 to go towards the trip.

How interesting can a cemetery really be?

You'll be able to discover the answer to that question this Saturday night when John Person conducts his yearly Camrose Founders Days graveyard tour.

Person will provide fascinating facts about the Camrose cemetery, as well as point out the resting places of some of the city's more illustrious citizens.

"He'll point out the gravestones of the founders we are celebrating this year," said Camrose Founders Days organizer Janine Carroll.

"He'll also talk a bit about the history of graves and gravestones."

The one-hour tour will begin at 7 p.m. from the Camrose cemetery entrance at 43 Avenue and 50 Street.

Ghost walk

A Camrose Founders Days

ghost walk starting from the Camrose Railway Station at 8:30 Saturday evening will be a chance to hear stories about local ghosts as told by Glenys Smith.

The walk will include a visit to main street, a popular hang-out for ghosts since a young boy was killed in a horse race on 50 Avenue in the early 1900s and a mysterious baby death at the former Windsor Hotel in 1910.

One of the most well-known stories about ghosts in Camrose comes from the former Wildrose Arena. City staff are adamant they saw an older person and a child frequenting the arena on several occasions.

Other stops on the walk will include the Camrose Public Library, the Camrose and District Centennial Museum, and Camrose Railway Station.

"There are two people we

know about who experienced the spirit of a former railway engineer," stated Smith, who is volunteer curator at the station. "I'm hoping that particular ghost will be at the station when we do the walk."

The walk is expected to take approximately one hour to complete.

"It should be a lot of fun and a great way to learn more about the history of our community," said Smith.

"It fits well with what we are trying to accomplish with Founders Days."

Ghost tours have been popular in several other communities across Canada, where they are held on an annual basis.

"I have participated in ghost walks in both Halifax and Ottawa," said Smith. "The one in Halifax went to many of the oldest parts of the city."

Camrose Ski Club 100 years old The Camrose Ski Club has been a very important part of the heritage of Camrose. The ski jump itself has been replaced but is still in the same spot. This year, 2011, is the hundredth anniversary of Camrose Ski Club.

Camrose skiers were tops of many North American tournaments. The Servold brothers were winners in many classes,

but mostly in Nordic skiing, that is, jumping and cross-country combined.

The first leaders in the Camrose club were even responsible for getting the Revelstoke and Edmonton clubs active and interested. Tournaments were held in Camrose in the early years. The Sunday of this event could see hundreds of locals flock to the ski hill area to watch the jumping. It was thrilling to watch!

The reputation of the Camrose skiers followed them wherever they went. Clarence Servold was invited to attend four years of college at Denver, Colorado, to improve the Denver ski program. Clarence and his brother, Irvin were top skiers in North America. This is due to the strong influence of the Camrose Ski Club and the ski jump.

Residents receive power, water

By Glenys Smith (history)

Ladies and gentlemen, I am engineer Maxwell. I want to acquaint you with the marvellous progress we are making in Camrose in regard to supplying water and power to the people of Camrose. Mayor Layton, Councillor Duggan and I made a train trip in January to Alberta and Saskatchewan points on Saturday night. Aside from the cold weather and the unsatisfactory train service, the trip was pleasant and profitable. We all returned with greater enthusiasm for Camrose and its future. We had started to think we may purchase some real estate in some of the growing centres of the West, but didn’t do so, as we all came to the conclusion that there is no place like Camrose. Other cities are green with envy when we tell them we have three railway lines. We made them aware of the illimitable coal supplies, the pleasure resorts which the neighbouring lakes afford and of the soft water which we draw from our wells.

I want to assure you the new power plant that we have installed on the north shore of Mirror Lake will change your quality of life. For the first year electricity will be available during the day time with electricity produced from the steam generating plant. Thank heaven for that local supply of coal we need.

By October visitors or local people will no longer have to light their hotel rooms or homes by candle light. During the winter months the plant will be operating from darkness to dawn.

Folks, you can soon look forward to a water supply to your

homes. We need to thank the C.P.R. for building the dam in 1905 on Stoney Creek and for laying a pipe line to the water tank on the north side of town.

The town has recently sunk eleven wells and water will flow from the reservoirs through the pipes to the Water Tower that will be erected later this year by the Canadian Fairbanks Company and will flow back to the main business and residential parts of town. Take a walk along the south end of Stoney Creek and you will see our new pumping Station.

I know some of you are unhappy that we will have to delay laying of the sidewalks just a bit longer so we can have the sewer and water service connections completed prior to the sidewalk laying. With respect to the water works, 5,000 feet of pipe has been laid and tested for leaks. We wanted to be sure of this before we connect the pipe line of the boiler feeder pumps at the electric light house. With good weather the connection will be made by November. By the end of November we hope to have all the sewer and water pipes laid.

Laying sewer pipe is the heaviest part of the work. We have to dig a trench up Sullivan Street and South Avenue that is 23 feet deep as it will receive waste from the creamery and future extensions of buildings on Mirror Lake.

Water Works

The population of Camrose and other communities in the area grew substantially in 1911.

The railways served to connect populations, and this increased the growth of Camrose. As the town grew, it was necessary for

proper electrical, water, and sewer systems to be put in place, and these needs were fulfilled in 1911.

In 1911, Mr. M.A. Maxwell was appointed to be the engineer for the Camrose water works.

He focused on installing water lines and the correct placement of wells. Under his direction, Camrose successfully built its water tower and developed a system to transport water from surrounding reservoirs to the water tower using gravity. From the water tower, water was piped back to businesses and households.

Camrose’s water system was efficiently operated, and the labor involved was credited to Mr. M.A. Maxwell.

The waterworks ensured that there was a supply of clean water for those living in Camrose.

The sewage system was also built in conjunction with the waterworks, and helped keep the city clean and with good sanitation. In 1911 this system cost $100,000. It served to keep the town from outbreaks of diseases like typhoid. When the Camrose Board of Health made its 1911 reports on the town, it stated that: “The year just closed has been conspicuous by the absence of any infectious outbreak; our past precaution as a clean town has again been verified by the absence of any cases of typhoid originating in the town. With our past facilities for the care and disposal of sewage, we consider this state of affairs very satisfactory from a health standpoint. The completion of the new system of waterworks will contribute to even a better condition of affairs pertaining to the sanitary state of the town.”

Camrose City council has appointed Damian Herle as City manager.

Council believes Herle is the individual best suited to lead the City’s staff into a new era of continued excellence.

Over the past weeks, council examined the options of hiring externally as opposed to promoting internally, and determined hiring within the organization to be in the best interests of the City at the present time.

Herle is the seventh City manager of the City of Camrose, the third to be promoted from within.

Herle’s multifaceted tenure with the City has provided him with the vast knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill his new role. He served as a member of the Camrose Police Service for 26 years prior to 2003, when he joined the ranks of City administration as the general manager of corporate and protective services.

Herle has been an active and dedicated member of the community for over 33 years. He and his wife Glenda have two children.

As a school division, we will emphasize the following priorities for the coming year: • Literacy • Assessment • 21st century learning • Creating Welcoming and Inviting school environments This year promises to be an exciting and challenging time. We anticipate that it will bring many rewards and successes for each student in Battle River School Division.

Dr. Larry Payne, Superintendent of Schools

LEARNING INSTITUTE Schools, Division Office, and most worksites in Battle River School Division #31 will be closed on August 30 and 31, 2011 to permit all staff to attend a Learning Institute.

New Registrations Students new to Battle River School Division #31 should register at the school they will be attending and provide a birth certificate when registering.

Busing Service Students residing in the Beaver County, Camrose County and Flagstaff County Students new to these areas should register for bus service by calling the Transportation Department at 780-672-6131, or 1-800-262-4869, well in advance of school opening so that efficient routes can be planned. Students who were transported to a Division-operated school by bus during the last school year will be included in plans for the 2011-2012 school year.

Any questions regarding attendance areas and/or eligibility for busing should be directed to the Director of Transportation.

Students residing in the City of Camrose Transportation will be provided for students within the City of Camrose on the following basis: • Eligible students (those who live further than 2.4 kilometers from their designated school), will be served first at no cost; those students who were registered in the Battle River Regional Division school last year and were eligible for busing will be planned for again this year.

Reminder: students will be expected to produce their bus passes upon entering the bus.

• Non-eligible students (those who live closer than 2.4 kilometers from their designated school) will be served next, on a first-come, first-served basis, for an annual fee of $325.00 per student in grades 1-12, or $292.50 per ECS student.

Sheila Herle, Owner

Beginning to End Kitchen & Bath

…a special summer feature In Camrose and area, a signifi cant number of women hold positions of power and prestige.

Many others own their own small businesses or are key players in their respective companies.

The Camrose Booster is profi ling some of the best, the brightest and the most prominent women who work, employ and lead in the community of which we are all so proud.

Watch for profi les in future issues of the home team paper!

If you would like to be a part of our next women in business issue, please call The Booster, 780.672.3142 and ask for Mike, Jeff, Sue or Ron.

Sheila Herle knows the importance of a well-planned kitchen. “I love being in the kitchen myself,” she says, “so I know first-hand the importance of having a great space to work in. It should be beautiful and functional.”

With over 15 years experience in design, and having numerous contacts in the trades industry, Sheila and her team can not only design your project, they will do it on time and on budget. Notes Sheila, “I love that I get to work with such a variety of people, with such different requirements for their space. I am always looking for new ways to do things, and new products that will suit each project. “ Beginning To End Kitchen and Bath started from humble beginnings as an appointment only office, and now boasts a spacious showroom in the city’s east end with 2 full kitchen displays. The company is currently in the process of hiring more staff and planning upcoming displays for bathrooms and fixtures.

Sheila notes that a common misconception people have is thinking that Beginning To End kitchens are expensive. “They see our showroom kitchens and think they can’t aff ord something like that. But, we can put together a great looking kitchen on just about any budget.”

And while every design has its own challenges and rewards, Sheila says the best part of every project is the final walk through with the client. “When they have tears of happiness because they love their new space, that to me is success.”

From Kicks to Kids truly is a family business and, like many great ideas, came about because of necessity. “We had discussed starting our own business together,” says mom Debbie, “but the idea truly came to light once Kristine became pregnant. The realization that Camrose didn’t have a store that specialized in new maternity, baby and children’s items prompted us to look into the idea of a maternity and children’s boutique.”

From Kicks to Kids officially opened on June 15, 2009. “It's been a great two years!” says Kristine. “We are continually bringing new items into the store and we are always on the floor, working directly with our customers. And having a three-year-old and a one-year-old daughter myself, I can certainly relate to them!” laughs Kristine. “Currently we carry a large selection of items for babies along with products for children up to eight years of age.”

“We strive to be a one-stop-shop” says Debbie. “We carry a wide range of new products that pertain to new and expectant parents from clothes and shoes to cribs, strollers, diaper bags, accessories, toys, books and gifts. We have also recently added car seats and booster seats to our inventory. Our products are high quality, child safe, unique, trendy and reasonably priced. We will take customer requests and are more than happy to track down that ‘must have’ item. A baby registry is also offered for new and expectant parents.”

When shopping for that perfect baby accessory or gift, Debbie and Kristine would be happy to help!

Katrina Hagstrom, Office Manager Camrose Flight Center

Camrose Flight Center has grown substantially this year.

Allen Kurtz, flight school owner, has added a number of new additions to his staff. One of the team members is Katrina Hagstrom, who is very excited about new changes. She notes, “Our staff come from a wide variety of backgrounds and because of that, we can offer not only excellent quality training for anyone looking to get started in the aviation industry, but many other services as well, including charter flights (cash taxi) anywhere in Alberta, BC or Saskatchewan.”

“We provide training to anyone who would like to learn how to fly. Franky is our chief flight instructor. Philippe is our newest flight instructor and is just excellent with our students.

Anyone can sign up for flying lessons. We also offer our very popular Discovery Flights. These allow people to see what aviation is all about – if it’s something they would like to pursue, or they can just sit back, enjoy the ride, and get a bird’s eye view of the landscape!” The airport is also very excited about the newest addition to their aircraft fleet. “Our new Piper Seneca 1 has finally arrived and multi-engine courses will soon be available!”

Katrina says, “We love to have our students come back and tell us stories of their experiences in the aviation world, or when a couple of friends tell us how great their discovery flight was when they had the chance to take control of the aircraft for the first time!”

She adds that many people assume charter flights are expensive, but that's not true.

“Many times a charter flight can be more cost effective than using a commercial airline, plus the passenger has the freedom to come and go as they please." She urges people to call the next time they need a flight. “We welcome all inquiries!”

Karen McFadyen, Manager

Susan Niehaus, Owner

Looking back on her career, Karen McFadyen says, “The insurance business chose me. I was a single mom who started out as a receptionist in an insurance company. That was 21 years ago!”

Today, she is the manager of Western Financial Group (Camrose office).

What is now the Camrose branch of Western Financial Group first opened in 2000 under the name Mirror Lake Agencies. Six years ago when the business was sold to Western Financial Group, Karen transferred from BC where she was currently working, and took over management of the Camrose office. “We started with a very small office downtown and our staff consisted of myself and one part-time employee (Penny Hall). In the last six years we have grown substantially, added five more full-time staff members and have moved to our current location by beautiful Mirror Lake.”

“Our goal is to give the people of Camrose and surrounding areas the most choices and best service for all their insurance needs. We are part of a network of over 100 offices across western Canada and have access to the largest number of companies to find better products and premiums for our clients.”

Karen also notes, “We have received wonderful support from our community! We feel very fortunate by the number of clients we have who were referred by to us by current clients. There’s no greater compliment than when people send their friends and family to you. We also feel it’s very important to give back to the community, and we support several charities including STARS, Relay for Life, The Heart and Stroke Foundation and the MS Society.”

“Our clients are our #1 asset. We strive to generate meaningful, positive results and support for our customers as well as our community because we live here, too.”

The newest fashion-forward ladies’ wear boutique on Main Street may have only been open a short time; however, owner Susan Niehaus had a long term vision in the planning of her business. “I wanted Aya to be a store that would have something that would appeal to every woman. We’ve had moms and daughters of many different generations – girls to great-grandmas – come in here and find clothing they love.”

Aya is a family-run business with Susan and husband Maurice's three daughters, all working in the boutique.

“I grew up with three sisters, have fi ve sisters-in-law and three daughters, so I have a lot of women in my life who I enjoy being with!” laughs Susan, “So I truly wanted this to be a place where women can come with their friends or sisters or moms and find something unique.”

Aya carries a number of fashion lines with a wide range of styles, many which include plus sizes, as well as an exclusively plus-sized line called Sealed With A Kiss .

Jeans, jackets, casual wear, business, yoga and swimwear are available.

“We will continue to bring in fashions that are fresh and unique,” , notes Susan.

“We want our customers to see something different every time they walk in the door!”

City supports target jump

By Dan Jensen

City council has given its support to a Gardner College Kids' Campus Target Jump fundraising event at the Camrose Airport September 17.

Target Jump will see 25 skydivers aiming to land on a target set on the ground.

Where they land on the target will determine the amount of money they raise.

City of Camrose assistant municipal engineer Jeremy Enarson told council July 25 that administration recognizes the benefit the event would have on the community, and that the inkind donations required from the City would be minimal.

He said the event organizers have not requested any financial assistance.

Katrina Hagstrom, from Little Haggy's Business Helper, told council in a letter dated July 18 that the event will ensure that the Gardner College Kids' Campus daycare can continue to take care of the children in Camrose and allow about 50 families to continue to work.

The skydivers will be trained in advance so they will have the skills to be successful the day the jump arrives.

"There will be people from all over Alberta coming to this event to cheer on their jumpers," said Hagstrom.

"I am hoping we can use this as a great tourist attraction that may turn into an annual event."

The alternate rain date for the Target Jump will be September 24, which is the same day as the Western Canadian hot air balloon championships.

"The organizers do not see this as conflicting with the championships, but feel it would be a complementary event," said Enarson.

The organizers still have to receive approval from Transport Canada, and will be required to provide the City of Camrose with proof of insurance in the amount of $5 million.

Maxwell, Carlson and Didrickson-Hoyme to be honoured

By Dan Jensen

M.A. Maxwell, Rev. T.T. Carlson and Carla DidricksonHoyme will be named honoured founders at the 2011 Founders Days celebration August 12, 13 and 14.

M.A. Maxwell was the town engineer in 1911.

"His role in the successful development of both the electrical plant and waterworks installation allowed Camrose to emerge as a flourishing municipality, commanding respect from community leaders across western Canada, the northern United States and even from England," said a report supplied by the Camrose Founders Days committee.

The power plant was completed ahead of schedule in January, 1911. A modest profit was

shown after just three months of operation.

Rev. T.T. Carlson pastored many churches in the area, including ones in Camrose, Bardo, Dinant, New Norway, Kingman, and Armena. He represented the Hague Lutheran congregations and became vice president of the committee which founded Camrose Lutheran College. He is credited with arranging the classroom space in two Lutheran churches that first year of operation, prior to the completion of Founders' Hall. He also made boarding arrangements for students at the Heather Brae Hotel.

Rev. Carlson purchased land which is still being farmed by his grandson and great grandsons.

Descendant names include Hanson, Millang and Skotvold.

Olde Time Variety Show at Bailey Theatre

"Rev. T.T. Carlson resided in Camrose just a few years but his influence and impact has spanned a century," said the Founders Days report.

Carla Didrickson-Hoyme was considered to be one of the best pianists within the entire Christian community when she joined the teaching staff at Camrose Lutheran College in 1911.

"Her extensive musical background influenced CLC's extraordinary music program, which attracted students to the college from great distances," said the Founders' Days report.

"Her musical talent was discovered when she was just six years old, allowing her opportunity to study under Norway's foremost piano teacher and be mentored by other prominent musicians."

In addition to teaching at CLC, Didrickson-Hoyme gave private music lessons in her home.

"It is rare during this period of settlement for a woman to have a hyphenated maiden/ married name," said the Founders Days report. "A supposition might be that both she and her husband were very progressive thinkers."

The founders who have been honoured to date at Camrose Founders Days are: Duncan Sampson, Dr. P.F. Smith, Walter William Ashton "Blue" Smith, Francois Adam, Hiram Burgar, Will and Charlie Duggan, Dennis Twomey Sr., George P. Smith, Ole Bakken, Frank Farley, Frank P. Layton, John W. Russell, Chris Langbell, Camille

David, Charles Burrows and Frederick Pratt.

Camrose Founders Days celebrations have resulted in many legacies, including: the addition of historical street signs (Adam Street, Alberta Avenue, Bakken Street, Prospect Avenue, and Main Street); the construction of a Founders Square; the construction of an Ole Bakken log/sod house at Camrose and District Centennial Museum; festive bunting decorations; a database of historical houses; and family reunions.

Camrose Founders Days founders must have arrived in Camrose and/or made a significant contribution to the community. The Camrose Founders Days committee always welcomes information from family members of early residents.

The Bailey Theatre will help with the launch of Camrose Founders Days celebrations this Friday when it hosts an Olde Time Variety Show.

Featured performers will include the Three Plus One Barbershop Quartet, Brian Dall Wilson, Brian Dumont, Connie Stollery, Glenys Smith and the Camrose Spirals.

The emcee for the evening will be Tammy Syrnyk.

The curtain is set to open at 7 p.m.

Three Plus One Barber Shop Quartet will remind the audience of the type of entertainment that was once common on the Bailey Theatre stage.

Brian Dall Wilson writes his own songs, mostly country, relating to prairie and farm life. He has been a soloist at his church since 1986 and also an actor with the Alberta Lyric Theatre – performing three years at the Jubilee Auditorium in the musical Love According to John.

Brian Dumont is the winner of many singing competitions. He has performed so many weddings over the last 23 years that he has been given the nickname The Wedding Singer.

Connie Stollery is an extremely talented gospel singer who lends her voice at various local community functions.

The Camrose Spirals Jump Rope Club is entering its 20th year of operation in Camrose.

The club's skippers will be performing a number of routines on which they have been working this past year.

Glenys Smith will be telling stories of about Frank Farley's trip to the Arctic in 1936.

Frank was a Camrose Founder who became a famous ornithologist. He was very involved in the Camrose community.

As an emcee, Syrnyk is said to have the ability to make every member of the audience feel welcome. Her confidence as a public speaker grew as a member of the Camrose Toastmasters.

Lots was happening in Camrose 100 years ago Submitted

The year of 1911 saw staggering commercial, social, cultural growth in Camrose and surrounding communities as western Canadian population grew and expansion of the three railway companies made connections. Camrose was banded the Town that Was Born Lucky; Camrose Canadian headlines included: “All Roads Lead to Camrose” and “Where Railways Grow Like Weeds.”

• By 1911 the construction of the power plant was complete and it started operation in early January. Cost of construction and equipment was $25,000. Mr. M.A. Maxwell was appointed the water works engineer and Camrose looked forward to all-night electrical service. The power plant declared modest earnings within threee months of opening.

• The mayor was Frank P. Layton, the Board of Trade president was C.G. Corneille, the chairman of the school board was Dr. G.G. Stewart, and the chairman of the hospital board was Dr. Lamb.

• Camrose Lutheran College commenced its first school year on October 2, with classes held in the two Lutheran

churches. The Heather Brae Hotel served as dormitory and boarding club. The first president was Rev. J.P. Tandberg. Rev. T.T. Carlson was vice-president of the organizing association and pastor of one of the local churches.

The cornerstone for a permanent building was laid July 1, with a huge community celebration.

Representatives from government and church came from several provinces and from the US. Norwegian vocal entertainer Martha Sandal travelled from the US for the occasion.

• 1911 saw a large increase in cultivated land in the area around Camrose and increase in coal production. Crops were extremely good that year, which prompted the construction of many grain elevators. A call for 50,000 farm laborers to the west attracted many easterners. The first market garden was established.

• Increase in business created a demand for a larger post office.

• The Amateur Minstrel Club was formed.

• The April Bachelors' Ball was declared the greatest social function of the year.

• By 1911 the town had

built the water tower and sunk a number of wells to a total of eleven. Water pipes were laid from the various reservoirs to the water tower and back to the main business and residential areas of town to provide water for fire and household purposes.

• By 1911 the town was growing not only in population but in sophistication as well.

• In 1911 Camrose boasted the presence of Drag. W Jones, who was both a veterinarian and a dentist.

• A.J. Ofrim, a noted blacksmith opened a business with Thomas Fowler opposite from the town hall.

• There were advertisements for Rural Home Machinery and A.J. Thompson became manger of Massey-Harris Co. Ltd. He also sold democrats, buggies, sewing machines and fanning mills.

• A small Camrose Concrete Co. plant was opened in Camrose for the production of concrete blocks.

• The opening day of duck hunting was declared a holiday.

• Mr. and Mrs. William Walkemeyer purchased the Camrose Hotel and renamed it the Heather Brae Hotel.

• The Fram Ski Club was formed. J.R. Engelbretson was president of the club with such members as Lars Maland, Adolph Maland and Oscar Engelbretson. One of the first tasks undertaken by the club was the manufacture of a ski jump. The 40-foot tower was completed on January 5, 1912, ready for its first ski jumping tournament.

• An enclosed arena skating rink was built by Peter Scramstad in 1911. On each side of the rink was one sheet of ice reserved for curling.

• The first meeting to organize a curling club in Camrose was held November 27 at the Canadian Club. Patron Frank Pike was honorable president and G.P. Smith, president.

• A football team was formed May 4.

• Grand Trunk Pacific passenger service started June 12; Canadian Northern in early July.

• The Manning-Sutherland Lumber Company was absorbed by the Beaver Lumber Co. Ltd. with George E. Johnson in charge.

• Palm Cigar Store opened with J.A. McLeod the proprietor.

Choking and strangulation are sometimes confused both in emergency rooms and the court system.

Local registered nurse Shelly Dalueg attended the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta's annual general meeting in Calgary on June 9 and 10 and learned first hand about the differences through a Victorian Order of Nurses poster presentation on strangulation. "Choking is the internal blockage of the trachea (windpipe), while strangulation is the external occlusion of the carotid arteries, jugular veins and/or the trachea," said Shelly. "What I learned from the other nurses is that sometimes when people are strangled in a domestic abuse, it can be considered no big deal."

Strangulation is much more prevalent in domestic violence than statistics demonstrate and has greater short and long term impacts on health than generally understood by most people.

"Research has shown that people think they are going to die when they are being strangled," said Shelly. "The other issue is that there might not be a lot of marks or bruising. Women often think they don't have a leg to stand on in the court system because of minimal marks and often no witnesses."

First responders faced with a domestic dispute make split second decisions about the situation.

A belligerent and uncooperative person is less likely to be heard or believed. Responders focus on deescalating the situation. "If there are no obvious health issues, or signs of injury, the right questions may not to be asked."

Many front line workers, health care professionals, and police, believe they know the signs and symptoms of strangulation; however, most don’t. "One of the common, almost hallmark distinctions, is the loss of bodily functions as well as vomiting," explained Shelly. "But often a person cleans themselves up a bit or changes clothes before the police arrive."

In court cases, choking is minimized and rarely prosecuted as a serious offence because victims will minimize the level of violence and uninformed officers and prosecutors may fail to recognize it. With proper training and education, documentation can be improved so investigation and prosecution of strangulation cases see immediate results. Strangulation is actually attempted murder, but not all courts view it the same way. "If people say choking instead of strangulation it takes some of the drama away.

Then it may not be viewed as an attempted murder. But, people still think they are going to die."

Strangulation is one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence. When perpetrators use strangulation to silence their victims, this is a form of power and control. This form of violence has a devastating psychological effect on victims and a potentially fatal outcome. Ten per cent of violent deaths in the United States each year are due to strangulation: six females to every male. It is suggested that police and Crown prosecutors use the term "strangle" as opposed to the word "choke." Strangle means to obstruct seriously or fatally the normal breathing of a person.

"My friend found out the charges against her boyfriend were reduced to assault causing bodily harm and he almost killed her."

Police officers are encouraged to investigate all strangulation cases as attempted homicides or aggravated assault cases.

"Only 11 pounds of pressure placed on both carotid arteries for 10 seconds are necessary to cause unconsciousness," said Shelly.

"However, if pressure is released immediately, consciousness will be regained within 10 seconds. To completely close off the trachea, three times as much pressure (33 lbs.) is required. That is little more than it takes to open a pop can." Brain death will occur in four to five minutes, if strangulation persists.

Victims may have no visible injuries whatsoever, with only transient symptoms – yet

because of underlying brain damage due to lack of oxygen during the strangling, victims have died as long as several weeks later. Because of unforeseen consequences of injuries from a strangulation attempt that may appear minor to the untrained, police officers at the scene should radio for medics for a medical evaluation of all victims who report being strangled.

"Symptoms may include voice changes, and they can occur in up to 50 per cent of victims, hoarseness or complete loss of voice, swallowing changes, breathing changes and difficulty breathing."

Mental changes can cause restlessness, and combativeness due to temporary brain anoxia and/or severe stress reaction.

Shelly suggests police, EMS and emergency staff should check more deeply. "The Victorian Order of Nurses suggests to determine if someone has suffered from strangulation, watch for involuntary urination and defecation, visible injuries to the neck including scratches, abrasions and scrapes. Redness to the neck may be fleeting, but may demonstrate a detectable pattern. They could get tiny little pink dots on their skin, bloodshot looking eyes and facial puffiness."

The first step is to call it strangulation. "Another friend of mine, Val Wolski, was strangulated. It was even recorded that he had tried to do that to someone else, but she wasn't told. Nothing was done. Here I have two friends, one lived and one died. I want to do something about it. Knowledge goes a long ways to helping and I hope that I can help. Val was one of the best people around. In fact, the staff were so distraught about Val, but were still worried about the person that did the crime.

People in Camrose are so caring.

I am sure that such good people will want to do all they can and hopefully knowing more about the issue will get them to call or write to their MLA to improve prosecution."

Enjoy a Taste of Downtown Friday and Saturday

By Dan Jensen

Twelve downtown Camrose restaurants will be serving samplings of what they have to offer Aug. 12 and 13 as part of Camrose Founders Days.

Sample prices will range from $1 to $3.

"We're hoping this Taste of Downtown will bring a lot of people to main street and be part of what it has to offer during Camrose Founders Days," said Founders Days committee member Janine Carroll.

"A lot of the businesses we have approached about it are

Nature, history tour planned

By Nathalie Stanley, Education and Outreach Coordinator, Battle River Watershed Alliance

Did you know Mirror Lake is a man-made lake?

Do you know why?

How about the plants, animals and insects living at the lake? What are they up to?

These questions and more will be answered at the Nature and History Exploration Tour, one of many activities offered as part of this year’s Camrose Founders Days festivities (August 12 to 14). Your guides on this tour will be staff members from the Battle River Watershed Alliance. Join us as we explore the nature and history of our city!

The tour will take place at Mirror Lake (meeting by the Bill Fowler Centre) on Friday, August 12, at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. The tour will be part nature walk, part exploration into the history of Camrose’s water, and 100 per cent fun for the whole family.

Mirror Lake, a beautiful centre piece of our attractive city, has a very interesting and unfamiliar history.

What better way to celebrate the founders of Camrose than to learn a few tidbits of history that are bound to impress your friends!

There is much current research proving that spending time outdoors is healthy for you; it improves mental function and contributes to physical wellness. It helps children in similar ways and is of utmost importance in developing well-rounded, community-oriented, future leaders. But you don’t need a study to tell you that a walk in a park is a good thing, because it feels good!

With hands-on nature activities (we provide the nets and everything required!) sprinkled with history and mysteries unveiled, the tour will be a terrific way to enjoy a piece of this year’s waterfocused Founders Days celebrations. The Mirror Lake Express Train will also be on the tour for those who would rather ride along than walk.

really excited that this is happening."

Samplings will range from a triple almond chocolate cake and steamed pumkin and carrot cake (both for $1) at Cafe Connections (the former Smith Clinic), and cinnamon buns at Brenda's, to a special batch of mini breakfast cookies at Fiona's and slow cooked barbecued ribs at Pepper's Steakhouse.

The Taste of Historical Downtown will also be a chance to explore historic downtown buildings. Saigon Rose Noodle House, which is offering a choice of two spring rolls as well as

chicken and noodles, chicken and rice, salad and chicken, was constructed in 1935 and had such previous tenants as Camrose Millinery and Francoeur Cleaners. Merchants Tea and Coffee, which is offering Italian desserts and iced tea, was incorporated in March, 1908, by an act of the province as an institution which would "foster good citizenship."

Alice Hotel was built in the late 1920s by Vaclav Matejka, who named the prize structure after his daughter, Alice, and Doughboy's, which is preparing an extra big batch of mushroom soup,

was formerly the Camrose Feed Mill, built in 1910 by Georgeson and Co. Ltd., a Calgary grocery wholesale firm.

"The restaurants are inviting people to come inside and hoping that they will enjoy their stop so much that they will want to come back in the future," said Carroll.

Other Camrose businesses which don't serve food will be able to get involved in the party as well by putting out places to sit or displaying their merchandise.

"We're hoping it turns into a whole sidewalk festival," said Carroll.

The Taste of Historical Downtown Camrose is something Camrose Founders Days organizers are hoping to capitalize even further in 2012.

"We have 12 businesses involved this year and feel we can get up to 15 businesses next year," said Carroll.

Taste of Historical Downtown Camrose will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. both days, except at Cafe Connection and Saigon Rose Noodle House, which will be open on Friday but not on Saturday.

Rocks and Rings program to be unveiled

By Murray Green

The Rose City Curling Club will be introducing the Rocks and Rings program on the stage of the Bailey Theatre during Founders' Days in Camrose on Friday, August 12, from 2 to 4 p.m.

The demonstration allows young or first time curlers to learn about the game, while the club celebrates 100 years in Camrose. Two sets of Rocks and Rings were ordered to be used as a teaching tool in schools this winter. "The curling club purchased a set and Founders Days paid for a set. They were $500 each," said Ken Duggan, of the club. "The rocks have rollers in them, so they can be used on gym floors. Our hope is to bring the sport of curling into the schools so children can learn at a younger age."

The Founders Days organizers approached the curling club regarding how they could get involved and celebrate 100 years of curling in the community at the same time. "They made an offer to assist us in putting on an event. The Curling Club, at the same time, wanted to find a way to introduce the sport to all of the schools in Camrose and in the county," explained Ken. "We were planning to purchase the Rocks and Rings program and with the Founders Days committee's help, we were able to purchase two sets, instead of just one."

The set contains eight rocks and two plastic sheets of rings. "It is a 4 by 4 foot plastic sheet that represents the house and rings, just like in curling," said Ken. "There are a bunch of ball-bearing curling rocks that are very

Clayton Brick, 13, of Camrose, tries the new Rocks and Rings curling program set with guidance from Boston Pizza Cup chair Bob Seney at the Bailey Theatre. The program will be featured on stage during Founders Days on Friday, August 12, from 2 to 4 p.m. Everyone is encouraged to try the curling game; prizes are available.

easy for children to throw. They try to hit the button or count the most rocks. It gives them a concept of the sport without stepping onto the ice."

The demonstration is open to everyone to try. "We have some

prizes to give out, particularly for young people. We have frisbees with the Boston Pizza Cup and Founders Days logos on them," said Ken. "The sets are intended to leave a legacy from both events."

The Boston Pizza Cup will be held at the Edgeworth Centre on February 8 to 13, 2012. Kevin Martin's rink was the first team to qualify for the men's provincials by winning the event last season.

Railway Station will be a busy place

By Dan Jensen

There'll be no shortage of things to do at the Camrose Railway Station this Saturday.

"We've got a lot going on to help celebrate Founders Days," said Camrose Railway Station spokesperson Janine Carroll.

"It promises to be quite a bit of fun."

Most of the activity will take place under a big tent, where local artisans and crafters will be displaying their wares and conducting demonstrations.

"There's going to be an emphasis on hands on learning," said Carroll.

"The quilting club for example will be letting those who are interested try their hand at stitching."

The Camrose Horticultural Club will be showing samples of garden flowers, vegetables and fruits and providing advice for growing, while the genealogy club will answer any questions about how to go about researching family history.

A cookbook sale and exchange will provide the opportunity to donate the cookbook you seldom use or exchange it for another.

Morley Riske and his Swing band will be helping with the entertainment aspect from 1:00 to 4:00.

"The band had such a great audience response at the 2010 Founders Days festival they decided they could not retire completely, so they came together for another year and will entertain

with the sounds of old-fashioned big band," said Carroll.

The Rose City Swingers square dancers will perform from 10:30 to 11:00, while at 12:00 the Gandy Dancers will demonstrate how the early railworkers manually laid down heavy track through changing and rhythmic movement.

Kids' activities will include old-fashioned Olympics and crafts.

Lucy the Clown will be performing pocket magic and leading interactive activities at 11:00 and 2:00.

Elsewhere at the Station, guest speakers will lead interactive discussions about early prairie history. Shawn Smith will detail the historical role and contribution of the grain indus-

try in the Camrose region in an 11:00 o'clock presentation entitled Grain Elevators of Camrose County, while Les Kozma will make a presentation at 1:00 on the history of the railway in Camrose and area. Brent Cheek will conduct a prairie snap-shop presentation at 2:30 on the historical landmarks of the Camrose prairies.

At 3:00 p.m., members of the Canadian Northern Society will be serving home-baked carrot cake in celebration of the Railway Station's 100th anniversary.

The Railway Station Cafe will be serving old-fashioned menu items throughout the day, including delicious homemade pies, Whistle Stop hot dogs and old fashioned ham sandwiches.

Readin University

PEN POINTS

by Berdie Fowler

Reading University improves reading skills I recently attended an enjoyable graduation ceremony held at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta. The grads were not young men and women garbed in gowns and mortarboards, nor were they receiving bachelor’s degrees in arts or sciences, however, what they did receive has the potential to be equally important as a step towards a fulfilling future.

These fifty-seven young grads were Grades 2 and 3 students who, in July, participated in a four-weeks literacy upgrade program called Reading University. Each student experienced a moment of undivided attention as he or she stepped up onto a podium, was introduced by his or her teacher with a few comments about his or her personal accomplishments, and received a Certificate of Achievement from a fully-robed vice dean of the Augustana Campus.

This was the third summer in which Reading University has been offered to students, made possible by the sponsorship and collaborative effort of the Battle River Community Foundation, the Battle River School Division, and the Augustana Campus of the U of A. It is intended to assist students who would benefit from extra help to achieve their programmed level of literacy skills by the end of Grade 3.

My enjoyment of this third annual Reading University event stems from concerns about the level of illiteracy in Canada and the general consensus that students who are deficient in reading skills by the end of Grade 3 have difficulty keeping up thereafter and are likely to become high school drop-outs. It was therefore very encouraging to learn that all the students had raised their reading skills by one to five levels and, equally important, had enjoyed doing it. The evidence of that was the enthusiasm and excessive volume of the cheers in appreciation of the teaching staff.

The challenge now is to sustain that newly acquired ability to read and the enjoyment of so doing. The Camrose Adult Learning Council and Camrose Adult Read and Write program is available to provide advice to parents about maintaining that interest by having reading material at home and by reading with the youngsters.

The importance of developing literacy skills at an early age cannot be over-estimated. Here are what others have to say: According to The Institute for Cross-cultural Exchange, “The time from birth through age eight is the most critical for children in acquiring the ‘building blocks’ of literacy. Such early experiences help to determine brain structure which in turn shapes the way we learn, think, behave and respond to challenges for the rest of our lives.”

Craig Alexander, deputy chief economist of TD Bank Financial Group (2007) said, “the Canadian economy could enjoy a $32 billion boost if literacy rates were improved by only one per cent.”

The Canadian Council on Learning Health Literacy in Canada, 2007, says “... 60 percent of adult Canadians lack the capacity to obtain, understand and act upon health information and services and to make appropriate health decisions ...”

Add to that what we all know: many of us don’t comprehend the legalese language in the fine print of contracts and therefore get trapped by signing agreements that we later regret and from which we cannot escape.

To date, positive reports have emanated from Reading University. We trust that follow-up monitoring will show lasting improvement in literacy skills and a lower school dropout rate.

We can all help by supporting literacy programs, and by keeping libraries well-stocked with books and other learning tools to which the public has access, and by reading with our children. Let us not fail to do so!

BERDIE'S PEN POINTS

The shelves are getting a little bare at the Camrose Food Bank.

"We are losing our reserves," said Camrose Neighbor Aid program director Pat Hagen.

"We could really use produce from the gardens and eggs.

We don't have any eggs at all."

Summer has typically been a low time for donations at the Food Bank, with families going on vacation.

"We're at a point of the year when people forget about us," said Hagen.

"We are definitely going to need help before school starts in the fall."

Camrose Food Bank serves about 200 people a month, a number that has held steady over the last few months, but is up considerably from two years ago, when the number of people served every month was around 100.

"The number has levelled off, which is a good sign," said Hagen.

"It shows there is reason for optimism."

Camrose Food Bank receives generous support from the grocery stores in Camrose, with Safeway and Wild Rose Co-op providing items from their bakery. The food bank also receives generous cash donations to purchase food, although most of those come at Christmas.

Camrosians can access the services of the food bank by proving that they live in Camrose and are below a certain income level.

The maximum number of visits allowed per year is eight, while the average food hamper size, including meat, is about sixty to seventy pounds.

Unlike 20 years ago, food bank users do not have to be recommended by a church or social agency.

"We realize that emergency situations happen for families, but anyone who is making a

The Camrose Neighbor Aid Center director Jeannie Bell, left, and executive director Pat Hagen received $1,577 from Diane Howes, of St. Andrew's Anglican Church in Camrose, from the proceeds of the chili and buns luncheon held at the church on July 28. The Bethel and Messiah Lutheran Churches also helped with the fundraising event that drew 175 people. Those churches are challenging other churches to help make up for funding loss for the center. The number of families the Food Bank has helped went down from 216 in June to 176 in July, but they still need regular donations to keep up with the demand.

fairly good income should not be here," said Hagen.

Camrose NeighborAid is currently advertising for a program director/volunteer coordinator to be responsible for overseeing the food bank operations.

The organization has received six applications so far but is hoping to get more before making a final decision.

"We thought that we would get more bites from the 21 churches that are in Camrose but we didn't," said Hagen.

Anyone who has any extra produce from their gardens that they would like to give to the Camrose Food Bank is encouraged to phone NeighborAid at 780-6793220.

County busy with road repairs

By Murray Green

The roads in Round Hill will soon be repaired.

After senior administration directed public works to identify trouble maintenance areas in each hamlet that require immediate attention, Round Hill was currently found to have wash board asphalt road, which has caused a rough driving surface.

"Approximately 30 metres by eight metres requires attention.

The scope of work would include grinding down the heaving located in the braking lane to achieve a fairly level surface. Then, cap this section of road with 50 mm of asphalt," said Graham Backus of the public works department. He has met with Border Paving on site and they are interested in completing the work.

Councillor Glen Nelson made the motion, "That Camrose County award the road maintenance located at TWP 484 off of Highway 834 in Round Hill to Border Paving at a cost of $21,112.50 (no GST) with funding to come from

Midget Cougars grab provincial crown

By Murray Green

The Camrose Cougars midget Tier 1 squad earned the gold medals at Baseball Alberta's provincials in Rocky Mountain House on July 29 to 31.

By winning provincials, the midget team will be representing Team Alberta at the Western Canada Baseball Championships in Morden, Manitoba, on August, 11 to 14.

The midget Cougars (Red) competed hard at the Tier 1 championships by playing five games in three days. "We overcame a six run deficit in game one against Acme in dramatic fashion. We had a home

run in the bottom of the sixth to tie it and another in extra innings to earn the walk off victory," said coach and Camrose Minor Ball president Dave Borman.

"In the second game against Vegreville, it was highlighted by line drives and big time hits en route to the victory. We played one game on Saturday against the home town Sun Devils. We took that on the chin and lost under the mercy rule as Rocky took on the role of slugger and we made some errors," explained Dave.

The loss gave Camrose a 2-1 record and put the team in the semifinal against the Heisler Cardinals. "We knocked their

starting pitcher out of the game with four consecutive solid hits, scoring three runs."

Heisler clawed its way back into the game and then it was back and forth. Tied 6-6 in the sixth, Heisler hit a home run in the bottom of the inning to take the lead. In the top of the seventh and final inning, Camrose smashed two lead-off singles to start the inning against the Heisler ace pitcher. "We followed that with two squeeze plays to regain the lead. Putting them out three up three down in the bottom of the seventh, we were now waiting for the other semifinal to find out who our opponent would be."

It would be a rematch against the home town team. "In the final against Rocky, our bats returned to their powerful selves. Rocky did not go down lightly, but in the end we bashed out an 18-8 victory.

Now with two teams going to Morden, we need to figure out how to raise some funds before we leave."

The midget Cougars (Royal) garnered the Tier 3 championships in Fort Saskatchewan. Camrose beat Edmonton's Confederation Park late in the game with small ball. "They used bunting and running plays and had to play three games on the last day of the tourney," said Dave.

Joe Pasychnyk and Chance Wheatly earned a trip to New Brunswick to compete at nationals.

By Murray Green

Two Bawlf baseball players are headed to Moncton, New Brunswick, to play in the Canada Cup midget tournament from August 10 to 15.

Short stop Chance Wheatly and pitcher Joe Pasychnyk played for the Spruce Grove White Sox during the regular season and helped their team place sixth in the 11 team provincials that Okotoks won. "We lost a close game in the quarterfinals in Sherwood Park, so we did alright, but we would have liked to have done better," said Joe. "We finished third in the league schedule. We thought the team was good enough to win, but we lost a close game and that is how it ended."

Both players were asked to play in Spruce Grove so they could reach for a higher level of baseball. "We are first year midg-

ets, so we will probably be playing in Spruce Grove again next year," said Joe. The local players attended a Team Alberta selection camp earlier in the year and were two of 20 players picked for the U18 squad. The team will be going to Charlottetown to play a series of exhibition games against Saskatchewan and PEI prior to the national competition. "It is pretty cool to be on a team like this," said Chance.

"It is a good opportunity to represent our province," added Joe. "We develop more as baseball players by playing better competition. It is good to play the highest level we can. As a pitcher you face better batters and as a batter you face better pitching."

Both players attend St. Francis Xavier High School in Edmonton, which is known as a baseball academy. "We play base-

ball year round and focus on just the one sport," said Joe. "Hopefully, this leads to a scholarship in the States," said Chance. "We want to go as far as we can in baseball."

The players like the competitive level in baseball. "In any given game, any team can win. It depends on who is pitching and it is a mental game. It can be mentally tiring because you are always thinking about the next play before it happens," said Joe. "You have to think what pitch you are going to throw and where the play will be going. Sometimes a certain pitcher can beat a better team."

Joe batted .333 in league play and had a 4-1 win-loss record with a 2.03 ERA (earned run average). Chance batted at a .247 clip with good defence.

Buick Lucerne Styling, power, technology

Pete Pastuck McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet

By Dan Jensen

cally adjust the dampening of each individual shock absorber for optimal ride characteristics.

CXS models also feature StabiliTrak, a brake assist feature that continuously monitors steering angle, wheel speeds, brake pressure and lateral acceleration. If the system detects a lateral skid, StabiliTrak intervenes by adjusting brake pressure and engine power to help return Lucerne to its intended driving line.

The technologically advanced Rainsense windshield senses moisture and automatically activates the wipers.

The available heated windshield washer system heats washer fluid up to 80°C in just 40 seconds, so you'll never have any trouble in an ice storm.

Elegant styling, abundant power, and technological sophistication come together in the new Buick Lucerne

at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC, Camrose.

You'll find the elegance in such sporty styling details as portholes on the front fenders, polycarbonate headlight pods, 18-inch wheels on CXS models, the rear spoiler, chrome-plated exhaust tip, chromeplated wheels, splash guards and sunroof.

You'll also find it in the exquisitely detailed cabin, which features 26 different QuietTuning technologies, making it the quietest Buick ever. QuietTuning features include everything from the tire composition and treated pattern and a double-isolated powertrain mounting system to various acoustic sealers, barriers and shields that block the path of noise. Even the laminated glass and steel are engineered for their acoustical properties.

The resulting feeling of tranquility is further enhanced by the cabin's premium materials. A Lucerne luxury package includes heated driver and front-passenger seats, eight-way power driver and front-passenger seat adjusters, and four-way power lumber adjusters.

The memory package automatically recalls settings for two drivers based on their individual remote access key fob: the recall function remembers the position of the driver's seat, exit seating position, exterior rear-view mirror preference, passenger tilt-down parallel park feature, audio system and climate control settings.

The available DVD navigation system covers millions of kilometres of roads in both Canada and the United States, while the nine-speaker premium 280-watt Harman Kardon sound system, specifically tuned for Lucerne's cabin, is standard on CXS models.

Outstanding performance Lucerne marks the return of V8 power to a Buick sedan for the first time in a decade. The 275 horsepower 4.6 litre Northstar V8, standard on CXL V8

and CXS models is an all-aluminum engine with 32 valves and dual overhead camshafts.

The award-winning 197 horsepower 3800 Series III V6 is standard on CX and CXL V6.

Both the V8 and V6 engines feature electronic throttle control for enhanced responsiveness and efficiency. And, both engines provide the refined and effortless power you demand in a premium automobile.

Lucerne's four-speed automatic transmission employs a gated shifter that enables you to manually select gears.

Technology Lucerne bolsters the Buick reputation for ultrasmooth ride with its standard four-wheel independent suspension, complemented on CXS by standard Magnetic Ride Control, which employs sensors that read the road 1,000 times per second. The system incorporates magneto-rheological fluid to automati-

Safety and security Lucernes include no fewer than six airbags – and a first-in-class dual-depth front-passenger air bag system that deploys either a smaller or larger air bag, based on safety belt usage, occupant seating position and the severity of impact.

When Lucerne is in reverse at low speeds, the available ultrasonic rear parking assist will detect an object over 25 cm (10 inches) in height and will then activate audio and LED warnings.

The auto-dimming driver's exterior rear-view mirror on CXS significantly reduces headlight glare. Both exterior rear-view mirrors are heated and include integrated turn signal indicators.

With OnStar safety and security on board, you’ll have a helping hand wherever your journey takes you.

A simple touch of the blue On-Star button connects you with an On-Star Centre, where you’ll find the voice of a friendly advisor who is ready to assist you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In an emergency, OnStar advisors may contact a nearby emergency service provider with your location and request help. And if your vehicle breaks down, they can direct roadside assistance to your location.

You can see the new Buick Lucerne when you visit McClellan Chevrolet Buick GMC. Phone 780-672-0123 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

P.L. Scramstad had built a covered skating rink next to the old bridge over Stoney Creek. An agreement was made with him to create two sheets of curling ice, one down either side of a central sheet of ice used for skating. The club rented this ice for $300 per curling season.

And so began the game of curling in Camrose. Sixty-seven curlers enjoyed this first ice, paying an annual fee of $10 each.

The club purchased two pairs of rocks, but it was the general custom at the time for each curler to have his own rocks, which he took along for out of town curling events.

Camrose Cougars win Peewee provincials

By Murray Green

The Camrose Cougars peewee baseball team clawed its way to a gold medal at the 2011 Baseball Alberta Peewee Competitive Tier 1 provincial championships on July 29 to 31.

Camrose defeated the Grande Prairie Reds 4-2 in the semifinals with Cougars' pitcher Kyler Charchun tossing six and two-thirds innings, allowing only two earned runs on three hits.

Charchun struck out seven batters and was named his team's most valuable player for the game.

The Cougars knocked off the previously unbeaten Acme Red Sox 18-8 in the final to reap the gold medals. The Cougars spotted the Red Sox a five run first inning lead only to storm back with the bats to eventually win in five innings. The Cougars handed the stunned Acme squad only their second loss of the entire season.

Acme defeated Beaumont 10-0 to reach the gold medal game.

Camrose now moves on to the Western Canada Baseball Championships in Morden, Manitoba, which are held on August 11 to 14. Eric Burton and Bob Charchun are the coaches with Dave Ofrim as the manager.

The Cougars finished provincial and tournament play with a record of 21 wins and five losses. Players include Matt Andreassen, Connor Weins, Kyler Charchun, Devin Heck, Jacob Kendall, John Hunter-Robbins, Spencer Burton, Grant Lynes, Evan Schoenknecht, Ryan Burton, Jeff Ofrim, Kyler Kupka, and

bat-boys Kobe Charchun and Alex Andreassen.

Six teams

"We had a strong year and we fielded six provincial teams this year. We had two in mosquito, one in peewee, one in bantam and two at the midget level," said Dave Borman, Camrose Minor Ball president.

The mosquito community Cougars is comprised of players from local teams, which competed on July 23 and 24 in Sherwood Park. "Battling rain and opponents, they eventually were eliminated," said Dave.

The Camrose mosquito competitive club, entered Baseball

Alberta's playoffs, qualifying for the Tier 2 provincials in Okotoks.

"They brought home silver medals, with coaches Darcy Lynes and Daryl Zimmer doing a good job."

The bantam Cougars made it to the Tier 3 championships, with Ed Boos and Clayton Duffy coaching.

Nathan Saby makes a big splash at nationals

By Dan Jensen

It was a significant accomplishment when Nathan Saby qualified for the National Swimming Championships in Montreal July 27 to 31.

It was even more significant when he placed sixth in the country in the 16-year-old 50 metre free event.

Saby finished the race with a time of 24:55, just a few tenths of a second behind the winner, and just a few tenths of a second off the qualifying time for the Canadian Olympics team.

Not bad for someone who does all his training in the summer with the Alberta Summer Swim Association and has his best swims still ahead of him.

"The fact that an Alberta Summer Swim Association athlete is going to the nationals and putting in great races against 1,700 swimmers across the country, most of whom swim year round, is very impressive," said Nathan's Camrose Sea Serpents' coach Shane Gau. "I don't think you will see it happen again."

Saby went into the nationals with a 50 metre free qualifying time that was eighteenth in Canada. By the time the finals came around he had the seventh best time.

"I thought I could make the top ten and race in the finals but I didn't think I would do as well as I did," said Saby.

"It was pretty tough competition."

Saby also placed thirteenth in the 50 metre breast stroke

Like father, like son

By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Cougars peewee baseball team earned gold medals at provincials and move on to westerns in Manitoba from August 11 to 14. Back row, from left to right include Dave Ofrim (manager), Eric Burton (coach), Spencer Burton, Matt Andreassen, Evan Schoenknecht, Grant Lynes and Bob Charchun (coach). Middle row, left to right, Kyler Kupka, Kyler Charchun, Ryan Burton, Devin Heck, John Hunter-Robbins, Connor Weins and Jeff Ofrim. Front row, left to right, is Alex Andreassen (bat-boy), Jacob Kendall, Kobe Charchun (bat-boy).

Nathan Saby turned in an impressive showing at nationals.

with a time of 32:42, and 16th in the 100 metre free style, with a time of 55.27.

All three of Saby's top times at nationals were personal best times.

"The times he posted ensure that he will be back again at nationals in the 17- and 18-yearold age group next summer," said Saby's mom, Tamara.

Saby is currently training for the provincial championships, which will be held in Calgary this weekend, where he has a chance

of posting times even faster than he did in Montreal.

"He has broken a lot of records already this year and I see more records yet to come this season," said Gau. "He could take that 24:55 and drop it even lower than it is now."

While Saby has the type of body that is built for top times in the pool, Gau feels it is his commitment to excellence that sets him apart from others in his age group.

"He hasn't missed a practice this year, and if he has been absent it has been to go to a different swimming event," said Gau. "He doesn't take a practice off. Every practice he comes and gives 110 percent. His parents also give 110 per cent to make sure that he is hydrated and eating and resting properly."

Provided he can keep it up over the next year, Saby is sure to draw the attention of swimming scouts who will be offering him scholarships to swim at their universities.

"It would be nice to have a university in the States pay for my schooling," he said.

Until that scholarship arrives, Saby will continue to carry on as he has, or perhaps extend that training with a winter team.

"The thing with Nathan is that he is still wanting to go further," said his father, James. "A lot of swimmers in summer clubs tend to get less competitive over time and not put in the time that is needed to be successful. The fact that Nathan had his best showing in Montreal shows that he still has the fire."

Saby knows that his dreams of possibly making the Canadian Olympic team are still a few years away from becoming reality.

"I would have to finish in the top two at the Olympic trials in Canada and meet a certain qualifying time," he said.

Like father like son.

Nine-year-old Callum Gau follows footsteps of his father, Shane, when he set a provincial record in the 50 metre breaststroke during a July 23 swim meet at Fort Saskatchewan.

His time of 48.83 beat a previous personal best time of 52.75.

Shane, who is coach of the Camrose Sea Serpents, set a provincial record in the 50 metre freestyle back when he was swimming with the club in the late 1980s. The record lasted all of two hours, before it was broken by his brother.

"It feels really good to do something that my dad did," said Callum."

"I just hope that my record lasts a little longer than his."

Callum, who hasn't lost a race in any of the meets he has attended this year, is hoping to break another provincial record before the season wraps up after provincials this weekend. He came within two-tenths of a second of setting a new provincial record in the 25 metre freestyle event.

"That was the record we were thinking he would break first," said Shane.

"We were not expecting him to break the record in the 50 metre breast stroke."

Shane is happy with the work that Callum has put in since he joined the Camrose Sea Serpents four years ago.

"He has been training really hard and now the records, which are not that easy to achieve, are coming within his reach," he said.

"I have seen a lot of swimmers get close to provincial records but never been able to reach them, so to be able to get one is a real accomplishment. The people who get the records are the ones who work the hardest in practice."

Callum was one of 50 Camrose Sea Serpents who attended the Alberta Summer Swim Association's regional competition this past weekend.

"To have that many attend regionals is a good indicator of the strength of our club," said Gau. "We have some really strong relay teams this year that are ranked in the top three teams in the province."

The attendance is also a good indicator of the coaching the swimmers receive.

"The results we have had at meets is very impressive," said James Saby, father of Nathan Saby.

"The coaches have been turning in a good product year in and year out."

The provincial swim championships, which will determine the final rankings of all summer swim clubs in Alberta, will be held at the Talisman Centre in Calgary this weekend.

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

Be Thorough Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details.

Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

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

State Your Price The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.

Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

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

Hanna comfortable on the stage Continued from page 33

The album produced my second top 10 hit in Canada called "Song In My Head." Greg said some artists might hit it big right away, but for most people it takes baby steps. "It is like working on the railroad. You have pick at little chunks at a time. In the last year and a half, I had the opportunity to have my own recording company.

I like to wave the Canadian flag every chance I get. I still make all my videos in Canada. You can do well in Canada, but the mecca is still Nashville."

He didn't always write his own music. "When I first started, I didn't care about writing songs.

There were a lot of huge stars like George Jones, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and George Strait that have never written their own songs.

When you don't write your own songs, you simply look for the best of the best and record those songs.

You don't have that attachment that if I wrote it, I have to find a spot for it on an album. How-

ever, when I moved to Nashville, I learned differently. The Nashville writers encourage artists to write their own or with other writers to add to their careers. Now I'm 100 per cent sold on writing and I'm hooked. It is like having children.

You took some words and formed it into a piece of work that you share with people. The pay-off is hooking someone on your song and keeping them in the moment you created."

And the songs on Greg’s new self-titled album aren’t just products of his immense talent, they’re also a glimpse into his very soul – little snippets of his life painstakingly sewn into an audio patchwork. It’s a country life tapestry, and one he understands well.

Greg debuted on the American Country Radio Charts in the Summer of 2008 with his debut single, "She Means Everything To Me," which was co-written by David Lee Murphy, ran its way into the top 10 list of many stations across both America and Canada.

He has shared the stage with

country music stars The Dixie Chicks, Lonestar, Emerson Drive, The Charlie Daniels Band, and Toby Keith, to name a few. His high energy show is one everyone should experience as he works his way up through the ranks of country music. "Performing at an outdoor festival is what it is all about for me. It is where you draw the biggest crowds and I like to perform on stage," said Greg prior to Big Valley Jamboree. "People have heard us on the radio, now we want to come to Camrose and kick it up a notch and show everyone what we can do on stage. I recently toured with Toby Keith across the United States so being on the same stage in Camrose as Charlie Daniels and Toby Keith will be nothing new to me. It means a ton because I like to watch their every move and I learn along the way."

Greg enjoyed meeting local people and signing autographs and shared his experiences with all music fans. He made his presence felt in Camrose.

Yellowbird plays in front of family, friends

By Murray Green

Playing at the Big Valley Jamboree is like coming home for Hobbema's Shane Yellowbird.

He performed at the kick-off party on July 28 to set the tone for the highly successful weekend of country music in Camrose. "It just wasn't coming home to the Camrose area, but to Canada in general. I just got back from touring Europe and it is good to be home again," said Shane. "It was exhausting, but it is what I chose to do and what I like to do. Being in Camrose is always a good time."

He returned to the spotlight of Canadian country music with his solid sophomore album, It's About Time. It took two full years to make and it features a collection of tunes that Shane's fans have come to expect. "When it comes to fans, nothing is different.

I want to perform, whether it is on the main stage or at the kickoff party. Having my friends and family supporting me is what it is allabout."

Shane now feels a special attachment to European fans as well. "It is different cultures, different countries. It is a different feeling when you go to a place you have never been before and they know your music or feel they know you," said Shane. "I did less talking in between songs because some of the people don't understand English or what I am talking about. It is absolutely amazing going to France and stop at a little town and fans know your songs. It is mind-boggling."

Shane had huge success with the release of his debut album,Life Is Calling My Name . He had four top 10 radio singles that earned him awards such as Rising Star of the Year and the Best Country Recording award.

However, he found making the second album to be a big change. "If you have an hour, I will explain all the differences," Shane joked. "The first album was out of my hands. I just let the experts take care of it and run with it. The second album, I had a lot more control. That is very important to me because I could do what I wanted to do. It's About Time is more about me than my firstrecord."

Shane had a vision of what he wanted this album to be. "Each lyric and melody says something to me or about me. I want to release another single off this album and then this fall and winter I will be working on the third one. I want to go to Nashville for the next one."

Shane will be starting another long road trip this fall prior to hitting the studio. "I will be touring in Canada with Jetty Road from Australia opening for me this fall. Then I will be heading to Australia to tour with them and open for Jetty Road. I'm looking forward to that and that is very cool."

He feels very comfortable on any stage singing to his fans, like he did at the kick-off party in Camrose.

Eileen Jacobsen It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, Eileen Jacobsen, on August 6, 2011 at St. Mary’s Hospital after a brief battle with cancer.

She was born on September 16, 1933 and leaves to mourn her son, Ken and granddaughter Jordyne; daughter Karen (Floyd) Hihn and grandsons Dale (Kristen) and Dallas (Jennifer), all of Camrose.

The last few years were very difficult for Mom. She had multiple surgeries as well as other health problems, but she faced each new challenge with courage. We tried our best to make things easier but in the end it was not to be. She touched so many liveds through her work at Rosehaven and her other activities. She will truly be missed by all who knew her.

Mom will be laid to rest at Valleyview Cemetery by her sister Phyllis and a celebration of life will be held at Weber Funeral Chapel on Wednesday, August 10 at 2:00 p.m.

We thank the staff at the hospital and Dr. Slabbert; and all those who visited, called, gave flowers and cards.

Those wishing to give memorials may give to the St. Mary’s Hospital Chapel Fund or a charity of your choice.

The program is run out of the Mirror Lake Centre (formerly known as the Senior Centre). Walkers are encouraged to track their laps to measure their progress and qualify for distance achievement rewards.

“Staying physically active helps you increase your energy level while decreasing your risk of chronic disease. Our Mirror Lake walkers look great, feel great and have confidence in knowing that they are helping to improve the quality of their lives,” said Nadine MacMillan, kinesiologist with Alberta Health Services and cocreator of the Mirror Lake Walking Program. For more information call 780-608-8683.

“Over the next few months, we’ll be demonstrating our commitment to increasing the levels of physical activity and healthy eating in our community,” said Kathyrn Badry, the local ChooseWell coordinator.
