City looking for new animal shelter By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose will have to find a new place to house stray or unwanted dogs and cats. Dr. R. Bibby has given written notice that, as of September 1, Camrose Animal Clinic will no longer provide pound or rescue centre services for the City of Camrose. "This decision was not made lightly," said Dr. Bibby in a letter to Kim Isaak, general manager of corporate and protective services, City of Camrose, "but owing to staffing changes, the heavy private program subsidies required, sharp decline in public support and adoptions over the past two years, and a lack of compensation for professional and out of hours time spent on the program, we are fully terminating the program." Isaak told City council in a written report Aug. 13 that other veterinary services have indicated they do not have the space capacity to take on the animal control contract. "Dr. Whiting, of the Camrose Veterinary Group, has expressed interest in providing veterinary services for the animals as per the practice of having each stray animal undergo an examination. As Dr. Whiting has three other vets in the business, their capacity is greater, however they do not have the space to be able to keep the animals long term." A temporary solution may be to house the animals in a portion of a bay at the Credco building. "As of this date the responsibility of getting the animals to the building and ensuring that they are watered, fed and exercised, would fall to the by-law enforcement officer," said Isaak. "Further discussion will occur on the possibility of sharing some of the work load between the various departments." Councillor Greg Wood expressed reservations about using the Credco building. "We just did a real revamp on the building and got some tenants in, and now we are going to put some howling dogs and cats," he said. Isaak said the City has made contact with the Edmonton Humane Society to see if it is interested in a satellite or outreach centre, as well as with the Battle River Animal Protection Society, which is interested in helping long term. "Currently the Society does not have a permanent location, and shelters its animals through a foster home situation. Their long term goal is to have a shelter. They have also indicated a strong interest from residents within the community to volunteer their time to exercise, socialize, groom, water and feed the animals. We would probably have a good chance to work in partnership, where we might provide some funding on an annual basis and having that type of organization manage the facility." The City of Camrose will be conducting an advertising campaign informing residents of the change to the animal control service and asking them to contact by-law enforcement for further information. "We will continue to work collaboratively with the stakeholders in the city to move towards a long term sustainable service," said Isaak.

Council chooses site for new City Hall By Dan Jensen

The new City Hall will be built on the site of the current one. Camrose City council committed itself to the final location at a special meeting Aug. 13. "I feel pretty good about keeping it here," said deputy mayor Ray McIsaac. "Moving it somewhere else would reduce the vibrancy of the downtown core. "People are used to having it where it is." Council had considered the idea of moving the City Hall to the property currently occupied by the Mirror Lake Centre. That would have required taking down the Mirror Lake Centre and putting up a new building in its place. "I liked the idea of that location but I didn't feel good thinking that we would have to knock that building (Mirror Lake Centre) down," said McIsaac. "The seniors need a place and they have done a lot to support the building over the years with their fund-raising." Camrose residents Rod and Vi Madison told council in a let-

Ray McIsaac

ter dated August 4 they are not in favour of the Mirror Lake Centre site being used for a new City Hall. "It seems necessary to have the City Hall within walking distance of downtown for those who do not have transportation," they said. The Madisons also encouraged council to consider the seniors who have contributed funds to the Mirror Lake Centre, as well as the impact that a City Hall would have on the traffic flows in the area.

"It was suggested that 48A Avenue could be a main route. We live at Hillside Village and must take our lives in our hands each time we cross 48A Avenue due to traffic (to and from) 53 Street. Many drivers are travelling too fast and don't stop at the crosswalks in order for pedestrians to cross." Councillor John Howard acknowledged the need to preserve a place for the seniors of Camrose. "We felt that the building would have to be torn down if we were going to put a City Hall there but that it could continue to serve the purposes of the seniors for the next several years." Issues Council will have to address before construction of a new City Hall gets underway are limited room for a civic plaza and limited room for parking. Currently, 14 parking stalls immediately south of City Hall are being leased from the provincial government. "We know that we have a major issue in providing parking not only for the employees but also for the visitors in the community that would

be coming to City Hall," said Howard. The architectural firm of Manasc Isaac has provided the City with a design for a fourstorey, 38,750 square foot building that would be able to accommodate up to 95 staff by the year 2040 (up from the 50 that were working at City Hall in 2010). "Administration has twice reviewed the space requirements since 2009 and both reviews have confirmed that the proposed building of 38,750 square feet is sized appropriately for the future," said a report provided to council by chief administrative officer Damian Herle. "Our architects advise that a rule of thumb for the construction of City Hall facilities is one to 1.5 square feet per community resident." McIsaac said it is crucial the building be built the right size. "We could save ourselves two million if we kept it to three stories rather than four but there would be no way we could add a fourth story fifteen years down the road. I don't think you would be able to move all the air conditioning equipment that is on the roof." The design does not at pres-

ent make accommodation for a new Camrose library. "Camrose Public Library has told us they are good on their current location for eight to ten years," said Howard. The new City Hall is estimated to have a total cost of $17.5 million, most of which would be funded by the Municipal Sustainability Initiative grant provided by the provincial government. Council approved the City Hall construction in principle on June 27, 2011, subject to a number of criteria, one being that it proceed simultaneously, where feasible, with the Camrose Performing Arts Centre. Council will be making a final decision on when to build once it gets the design settled. ""We are going to be looking at a few modifications," said Howard. "Obviously I think everyone on council is saying the sooner we get something done the better." McIsaac said the City of Camrose is in good shape with its debt limit. "We are using 36 per cent of our debt limit now, leaving us 64 per cent to play with. Our debt has decreased by five million since 2009."

By Murray Green

Kyle Sieben broke a record that he intends to break again. The Camrose Sea Serpents swimmer helped the local club collect 114 medals at the regional meet to move on to provincials. Kyle broke a record in the boys' 14 and under 800 metre freestyle event. "I was going for a different record, the 400m freestyle, but I was able to take off a bunch of time and get it in the 800m," said Kyle. "It is a great accomplishment. Everyone in my family has broken individual records except for me. I have been close a bunch of times, but this time I finally got it." His father Todd, a coach with the Sea Serpents, mother and brother also have set records in the past. "I was two seconds off in the 400m, so I'm going for it at provincials." The longer the race, the easier it is to shave off time during the year. "He knocked off 30 seconds during the year and then another 45 seconds at regionals," said coach Todd. "The funny thing was that he was going for the 400m record. That day, he talked to Brenden (Hilgartner) and he told Kyle what his split times need to be. Kyle hit his splits and counted his strokes." Kyle broke Sea Serpent teammate Brenden Hilgartner's record of 9:56.53, with a new fast time of 9:56.24 to keep the record in Camrose. "It was like the passing of the torch from Brenden to Kyle," said Todd. "He told me to keep pushing for it and Brenden encouraged me, so I was able to do it," said Kyle. "It meant a lot to have him encouraging me and keeping me focused to improve." The record-breaking swimmer preferred short races when he was younger and then switched to longer races the last couple of years. Now, he was ready for the short events again. "He has figured out how to swim the longer races. Just when you think he is tied, he has a little gas left in the tank and he knows how much further he can push himself," said Todd. "It takes time to adjust to the distances and he has that figured out. He has always been

Kyle Sieben

a hard worker, but this year he really wants it." Preparing for all lengths of races has helped Kyle. "It helps because in long distance you have to endure for a long period of time, he added. "Then you go to the shorter races and you have that extra burst of energy." The local swimmer is in better shape and a lot stronger after a recent growth spurt. "He was tall in the six-year-old category, as tall as the eight-year-olds, but then everyone passed him during the nine and 10 age group. Now he has the long reach and strength advantage back," said Todd. "The added height and power allows me to pull through the water a lot faster," Kyle said. "It has helped me improve in all events." The coaches have noticed the extra power in Kyle's strokes. "He is jumping and powering through the water instead of just kicking. You can see the difference even since the start of this season," added Todd, who has coached for six years with head coach Shane Gau and his sister Jana Gau. "I started swimming when I was five and until I was 22, and then I started coaching."

Kyle just missed some records a few years ago in the eight and under division. His little brother Chad broke one of those to put more pressure on Kyle to set a record of his own. "It was bittersweet," said Todd. "But, it made Kyle more determined to improve and find his own record. He has appreciated this more because it wasn't expected. We all thought it would come in the 400m." Kyle felt that something was in the air when he broke the record. "The day before I came so close and was robbed in breaking the 400m time and I thought I can do this in the 800m," recalled Kyle. "I was angered a bit at myself and it helped me be more determined in the next race." Watching the Summer Olympics also motivated Kyle into doing the best that he could. "My arms were going in a long circular motion in the breaststroke and I saw in the Olympics that they were going to a shorter stroke and I tried that and it worked for me. It helped me to watch Michael Phelps and Brent Hayden." Hayden was a Canadian bronze medal winner in London. "I hope to re-break my record at provincials," said Kyle. The local region is strong and that helps push the local swimmers as they go on to provincials. "The transition through the age groups helps you know which are the swimmers to beat," said Kyle. "However, I have learned to compete against myself and try to beat my best time and not worry about other people." Todd said that mental training has also helped Kyle and the results have come along with it. "Nathan Saby is someone who motivates me because I always want to keep up to him and accomplish some of things he has done as well. It helps having swimmers that push and help the younger ones to improve," he said. Kyle earned six medals in the boys' 13 and 14 age category. He received three gold medals in the 400m freestyle, 800m freestyle and the 50m freestyle events and silver in the 100m freestyle, 200m medley relay and the 200m freestyle relay.

DONATION TO CAMROSE OPEN DOOR A silent auction at Magnetsign's The Winning Secret: Building a Vision for Success event at the Augustana Faith and Life Centre June 9 raised $1,700 for The Camrose Open Door Association. Presenting a cheque for that amount to Camrose Open Door executive director Randal Nickel (right) was Camrose Magnetsigns franchise manager Craig McLay.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Count to ten! When angered by insult, it is wise to count to ten before responding. Difficult as it may be to wait, blurting out venomous words in haste will usually, perhaps always, get one into deeper trouble and leave wounds that continue to fester for as long as a lifetime. Forgiveness and two little words, “I’m sorry,” hold magic powers to heal although scars may not totally disappear. Best to remain calm and say nothing. Two recent news items were catalysts that precipitated those thoughts for this column. One item was a television conversation with a former white supremacist named Jason Stevens. It followed the recent tragic shooting in a Sikh temple in Wisconsin by a person motivated by belief in supremacy of the white race. Stevens, the former white supremacist being interviewed, stated that he had changed his views when he was treated with kindness and forgiveness by those he had previously abused with racial slurs and other forms of hateful harm. There is power in patience and kindness. Why are we often so prone to doubt it? The second item was a letter in the Edmonton Journal (Aug. 13/12) written by a Muslim woman of the Islamic faith. The letter was most unusual and for several days drew a number of letters in praise of its content. Humda Malik, of Edmonton, wrote that she, wearing a hijab, had been in a line of customers at a check-out till at a Walmart store when a man cut into the line ahead of her. When she told him what he had done he replied that he “did not argue with brown people and that this was his country.” Her unusual letter to the Journal was not to complain about the racial comment but to express regret that she had argued with the man. “Had I followed the teaching of Ramadan, I would have remained calm and nonconfrontational,” she explained. Her letter adds that she was no better than the man at Walmart when she responded to his racial slurs and forgot that she was supposed to avoid fighting. Malik says she is a Canadian citizen, has lived here 25 years, has not committed a crime, never smoked or did drugs, and has never even had a speeding ticket. She thinks people hate due to ignorance or misunderstanding. “If someone takes the initiative to be a better person and to concede once in a while, that very act of selflessness could change the opinion of the haters,” she wrote. If the practice of expressing regret and learning to avoid angry, unkind responses to insults was a piece of cake, the icing would be a letter from the unidentified male customer at Walmart saying “I’m sorry.” It would be extra icing if Malik’s letter helped the rest of us remember that our various other religious faiths also have a golden rule reminding us to love one another and treat others with kindness and compassion. May we all learn to count to ten!

I would like to thank Bev Maertens-Poole for her letter to the editor (August 9th) highlighting the complexity of accurately assessing student learning. For nine years, my colleagues have been talking about assessment strategies designed to do one thing: help students be more successful. All vice principals debated the assessment procedure for over a year prior to implementation. The success of all students has been a concern with more than three terms of elected school trustees. Listed below are three key educational principles to assessment: Students need: – the learning targets shared so they know where they are going; – clear feedback about how they are doing in relation to the learning targets; – helpful advice and strategies in order to hit the expected learning targets. Concern about assessment exists at the senior high level; especially in relation to the assigning of marks/percentages. As a result, this upcoming year, high school students will receive marks/percentages. However, it is my hope that students will be able to identify the three educational principles within each class. I would like to clarify two misnomers in the submission to the editor: 1) Mrs. MartensPoole’s example is from another school division. BRSD has never suggested there would not be

homework, school assignments or final exams. 2) Teaching job security is NOT at risk because an educator gives an honest professional opinion. There are many checks and balances in place for all employees to ensure this does not occur. It remains my intent to maximize the expertise/experience of our many professional educators to impact the potential and learning of all students within the community of Battle River School Division. The Board Chair, Cheryl Smith and I sat down with Mrs. Maertens-Poole last week. We heard her concerns and provided some factual information regarding authentic assessment. Much of this is included on our website and I encourage those interested to read this material. I would like to assure the community that this conversation will be ongoing. While it is too detailed a topic to be covered in newspaper articles, Rick Jarrett, Maureen Parker or myself are willing to make an appointment with any individual for a one on one conversation. I also encourage parents to speak directly with their child’s administrators and teachers. We will be helping school administrators conduct discussion nights. The Board of Trustees and I will also be meeting with student leaders regularly throughout the upcoming year. Children are required to adapt to an ever changing world thus Battle River School Division is committed to doing the same. Recently, Berdie Fowler commented in her August 7th ‘Pen Points’ on how much has changed in the last fifty to a hundred years. She ends by stating that “…optimism and hope and desire to make a better future still prevails.” I couldn’t agree more. As Superintendent, I remain optimistic that we can meet the challenge in 2013 of defining and supporting the success of all students. Dr. Larry Payne Superintendent of Schools Battle River School Division

Agreements ratified Submitted

New collective agreements have been ratified for approximately 13,500 Auxiliary Nursing staff at Alberta Health Services, Covenant Health, Lamont Health Care Centre and Gray House Guild following a mail-in ratification vote at union headquarters Aug. 16. The vote ratified tentative agreements reached between AUPE and the employers June 27. “We’re pleased agreements have been reached that both sides support,” said AUPE Negotiator Terry Agoto. Highlights of the three-year agreements, retroactive to April 1, 2012, include a wage increase of three per cent for each year of the agreements; improvements to

the health flex account; improvements to health and wellness benefits and improvements to vacation time. The Alberta Health Services agreement also sees the reinstatement of the northern living allowance, with improvements. The agreements cover AUPE members of locals 040, 041, 043, 044, 045 and 046. “Bargaining with the employers was productive and positive throughout negotiations,” said Agoto. “The work these members do to ensure the health and wellbeing of thousands of Albertans every day was recognized early on in bargaining. These members are a highly-valued part of Alberta’s health care system,” said AUPE President Guy Smith.

Wilfred Clarence Holtner Wilfred Clarence Holtner was born on October 2, 1927 in Gwynne, AB to Axel and Johanna Evan. After moving to New Norway for several years, the family returned to Gwynne, and finally moved to Wetaskiwin, where Wilfred finished his schooling prior to attending Prairie Bible Institute for two years. Returning to Wetaskiwin, he met Edna Ruth Schultz and they were married on October 26, 1963. Remaining in Wetaskiwin, he was employed as a manager on a Hereford farm, during which time they adopted a son, Jon. Later, while Wilfred worked on a dairy farm, they adopted another son, Colin. In 1970, the family moved to their own farm near New Sarepta, where they became very active members in the Zion Evangelical Missionary Church. With the passing of Ruth in 2008, Wilfred moved to Camrose where he lived in a variety of locations until settling in Maple Cottage at Bethany Meadows where he resided until his death on August 15, 2012. He was predeceased by his wife Ruth, and his sister Maureen. He is survived by his two sons Jon and Colin; two brothers Bert and Ray; two sisters Lorraine and Gladys; three grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; his extended family and many friends. A Funeral Service was held on Monday, August 20, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in the Zion Evangelical Missionary Church, 5058-2nd Street, New Sarepta, AB, with viewing prior to service.

Luella Margaret Buchanan (Skognes)

Aileen Louise Gibson March 30, 1925 – August 10, 2012 Aileen Louise (Choiniere) Gibson was born in Simpson, Saskatchewan on March 30, 1925. She spent her childhood years in and around the Log Valley and Riverhurst areas of Saskatchewan. She enlisted in the Air Force in her late teens and served in both Saskatchewan and Ontario. She married George Gibson in 1946 and they farmed and raised four children in Riverhurst, Saskatchewan until they retired to Creston, BC in 1980. George passed away in 1999, and then Aileen moved to Camrose in 2002 to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Aileen was a farm wife who gardened, canned vegetables and fruit, made jams and jellies, raised chickens and turkeys and took care of all of the family needs. She was well known in the area as a creative and accomplished seamstress who not only sewed almost everything for her family, but for the community as well. She also sewed dresses for many bridal parties, notably those for her daughters who will always treasure the love and care she put into their special days. Aileen also carried on the family tradition handed down from her mother as a talented and popular wedding cake decorator. Again, she was regularly called upon by the community for cakes for many special occasions. During their retirement years in Creston, both Aileen and George were actively involved in bowling and met many good friends through this pastime. Aileen continued bowling when she moved to Camrose and also started playing cribbage and whist several times a week. Aileen was a very independent and outgoing woman who always “did things herself” and never asked for help. She kept up her own house and yard maintenance until the fall of 2011 when she moved into a seniors’ apartment complex. There she made more new friends while enjoying the many social opportunities that were always happening. Aileen was predeceased by her husband George in 1999; her daughter Anne and son-in-law Chris in 1978; her mother and father Frances and Eugene; brother Ernie; and sister Nancy. Aileen leaves to cherish her memory her son Alan and wife Jeannie; daughter Maureen and husband Rick; daughter Bonita; grandson Jamie and his daughter Mackinley (great-granddaughter); and three granddaughters Tara, Christine and Alexandra. A time of fellowship and refreshment in memory of Aileen will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday August 25, 2012 from the Masonic Hall. If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Cross Cancer Institute or to a charity of your choice. To send condolences please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Luella was born on the family homestead near Armena, Alberta to her parents Emil and Martha Lyseng. They spoke Norwegian at home so she learned to speak English at school. Luella was baptized and confirmed in Scandia Lutheran Church at Armena. After her marriage, she joined the First Baptist Church in Camrose. On November 7, 1942, Luella married Oscar Skognes of the Round Hill area. Together they had four children Marvin, Philip, Carol and Allen. Marvin and Philip were born during the years when Luella and Oscar lived near Round Hill. The family moved to Camrose when Oscar was hired as one of Rosehaven’s first employees. After moving to Camrose, Carol and Allen arrived to complete the family. Luella also worked at Rosehaven for a few years during the 1960s. Luella loved her flowers. At one time, she grew every kind of dahlia that she could think of. These types ranged from seed dahlias to the cactus and dinner plate varieties. She let her children enter flower shows for several summers. Luella’s dahlias won many ribbons. Luella also loved to entertain. ‘Going for coffee’ at their home always meant coffee, buns, several deli meats and cheeses, as well as the many kinds of delicious squares which she loved to bake. Luella also used to do many crafts. In her earlier years, she embroidered, sewed, and did some quilting. She knitted baby sweater sets, afghans and doll clothes for her grandchildren’s Cabbage Patch Dolls. She also took ceramics and crochet classes. Luella, with a love of embroidery, did many runners and tablecloths, especially ones including lots of French knots. Luella later learned how to do Bunka and Brazilian embroidery, both which were very different, but each requiring lots of work and patience. She produced masterpieces with these embroidery skills. Luella was married for 38 years to Oscar until his passing on November 18, 1980. On December 28, 1982, she married John Buchanan. At the time of his passing on December 5, 2009, they had been married almost 27 years. Luella’s last three-and-a-half years were spent in Continuing Care. After moving into “Lilac Cottage” at the Louise Jensen Centre, she grew attached to the many wonderful employees there. Last week, Mom had a beautiful bedside fellowship with Pastor David Eriksson. She was able to express her desire and readiness to go home to her Heavenly Father. Luella is survived by her children Marvin (Sue), Philip (Marion), Carol (Allan) and Allen (Aaron); eight grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; her sister Mildred; her brother Wilbert (Ashild); and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her first husband Oscar; her second husband John; her sister Elsie; her brothers Richard and Arthur; three brothers-inlaw; three sisters-in-law; and two nephews. A Funeral Service was held at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 16, 2012 from Camrose First Baptist Church with Pastor David Eriksson officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. Memorial donations are gratefully accepted to the charity of one’s choice. To send condolences please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Kristen Hunter, Owner Kristen Hunter Events & Décor Kristen Hunter, a Camrose area girl by birth, returned to her roots after advanced formal education in her chosen field in Vancouver and Dallas. With an Event Management Diploma and completion of training from the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada and the Institute of Wedding and Event Design to her credit, Kristen took on instructor roles in her field working in Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington, DC and many other major markets. Next month, entrusting her Main Street store to her trained staff and working with contacts electronically, she will repeat a U.S. west coast tour instructing aspiring students in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Las Vegas and Seattle. Kristen Hunter has a widely recognized reputation for her attention to detail in planning events for crowds of less than 50 to more than 800 guests.

Moving to and working in Camrose has been a true blessing. “I can’t imagine better employers than Betty and Norman Mayer. And Camrose might well be the most hidden of all gems in the province,” exclaims Lyndsey. “It’s the perfect place for us to raise our son Lonny (almost one year old). How could anyone not fall in love with our scenery and our downtown area?” Lyndsey’s obvious love for the city is expressed in her own words: “The future for Camrose is exceedingly bright. Our reputation as a festival and arts community, our health and education services and the way our city is cared for is extraordinary and special”. Lyndsey has a passion for meeting new people.

Esther Eckert opened her first Curves franchise in Tofield in 2002. A teacher by training, she was looking for a new challenge outside of the classroom. As a Curves member, she was inspired by watching friends in the Curves program grow more confident, become happier, turn into role models and, of course, lose weight and attain fitness goals. Curves’ mission is “Strengthening Women”, and helping women of all ages and walks of life become stronger socially, emotionally and spiritually has become Esther’s passion. Energized by her own success in helping clients succeed, she expanded her small business operation with the purchase of the Camrose Curves franchise in 2008. Esther’s Curves location features certified weight loss coaches and recognized fitness trainers. They have implemented the Zumba program for added client fun and benefit. Years of scientific research and development have made Curves a leader in weight management. Curves is a “Weight Loss Center with a Gym”. “Curves is fast, safe, effective and, perhaps most of all, FUN,” says Esther. “People who have never exercised in their life are able to join us without feeling a hint of intimidation.” Coaches are always on side for the 30-minute complete workout. It consists of a circuit, using resistance training equipment that is specially designed for women. “Curves has developed a world-wide reputation for the support it provides women to diet, exercise and be motivated. It is geared towards women of all ages, many who have tried other diets and programs, one or a dozen. Curves offers permanent, not temporary, results,” explains Esther matter-of-factly. “We help our friends and clients take those baby steps into a lifelong commitment that will help them exceed in their goals well beyond their initial expectations. How could any business be more rewarding than that?”

Karen Anderson, Owner Karen Anderson Therapies and Total Orthotics We’ve all heard that we should try to walk 10,000 steps a day for optimum health and fitness. What we don’t think about is how much stress and pressure that can put on our feet. With many years’ experience as an orthotics technician, footcare practitioner, reflexologist and a laser technician addressing tissue damage, Karen is well aware of what our feet go through on a daily basis. She says, “It is very gratifying to work on someone’s feet and help them get the relief they need for a pain-free day.” With studies showing that up to 70 percent of back pain can be directly related to the feet, Karen has seen not only back pain, but a host of other health problems including hip and knee pain, shin splints and sciatica as well as foot problems all helped with orthotics. Because of her work in reflexology and orthotics, Karen is also certified in shiatsu and hot stone massage therapy. She finds both therapies to be very helpful and quite complimentary with reflexology. Anyone can come in for a consultation – a doctor’s referral is not necessary and, with Karen’s same-day service, you can have a consultation in the morning and your othotics in the afternoon. If you have foot or back pain, call for your appointment today.

Tammy Lynn Jensen, Owner Tammy Lynn’s Family Massage Therapy and Wellness Center Good health is crucial to our happiness and well-being. Unfortunately, many of us take our health for granted until it becomes compromised. When it does, we want to see someone who will listen to us, understand us, and most importantly, help us. Anyone who knows Tammy Lynn also knows the deep empathy she feels for her patients. “I have muscle issues myself,” she says. “I know what muscle pain feels like and I have a lot of compassion for people dealing with it.” Keeping up with the newest technology, Tammy Lynn uses various techniques/tools to assist her in giving the best possible care to each and every client. “I treat everyone with different combinations of techniques because no two bodies are the same,” she says. “My work is also enhanced with a combined effort of chiropractic care and a client’s willingness to improve.” She also firmly believes that good communication between therapist and client is key to getting results. Tammy Lynn offers a wide variety of treatments including sports massage, cranial sacral, deep tissue massage, Chinese cupping, lymphatic drainiage, spinal work, visceral manipulation, pregnancy and infant massage, electronic acupuncture, SOLO infrared sauna, abaton bed, paraffin wax therapy, ion detox and candling – all of which are meant to relieve pain, stress and fatigue, and detoxify the body. All treatments are offered through her wellness center in Ferintosh. Tammy Lynn is quick to note that massage therapists do not offer quick fixes. “We address muscle tension, spasms and blockages so that the body can start to heal itself.” By appointment only:

ummer feature Watch for profiles in summer issues of The Home Team Paper! If you would like to be a part of our next Women in Business feature, please call the Booster at 780.672.3142 and ask for Mike, Jeff, Sue or Ron.

When people enter Cobblers, located on Main Street, Camrose, the reaction is virtually universal. “Wow” is the word that gets repeated over and over from male and female shoppers alike. The decor of the cozy, niche fashion boutique, and the unique, comfortable and trendy fashions are the work of retail visionary Shannon Kleinmeyer, a professional dental assistant by training, turned preferred Camrose retailer. Shannon’s fascination and “knack at predicting what will be hot in clothing retailing comes somewhat naturally, but excellent training certainly helps,” according to this vibrant small business owner. Her late father-in-law, who lived in Calgary, was a key figure in the Levis/Below the Belt chain of stores. His guidance, along with Shannon’s own intuition, has allowed a wonderful renovation and expansion to the 2,400 square-foot store in the last two years. If you haven’t been to Cobbler’s recently, you will find a greatly expanded selection of footwear. You will find clothing not available anywhere else in east central Alberta and influenced by her inability to find “cool fashions” for their own four young children, Shannon now inventories a terrific line of kids’ clothing. However, most of the store’s square footage retains highly sought after, quality, unique items for fashion-conscious ladies and men. Shannon’s keen eye for quality, style and affordable clothes which make a statement has led to Cobbler’s becoming a destination store for shoppers from Edmonton, Drayton Valley, Sherwood Park and even consumers from small-town Saskatchewan. Shannon and her staff are certainly worth a visit, but don’t count on being able to visit Cobbler’s just once. It’s a place that will be on your mind, constantly, after the first time you walk through the doors.

The Spa Spot Candace Bourassa loves turning the key to unlock the doors to The Spa Spot in Duggan Mall, six days per week. Inevitably, she will be faced with new business challenges, new questions from customers and yet another testimonial from a former client about how their tub has changed their personal or family situation. Tubs, once sold primarily for leisure, are now designed and manufactured with health benefits in mind. She’s watched clients go from barely moving due to arthritis, M.S. or other joint pain to actually discarding pain and inflammation medicine! She knows how tubs have brought families and couples much closer together. Candace, who grew up in Whitecourt, co-owns and operates three Spa Spot stores: Camrose, Lloydminster and a third location on the verge of opening in Edmonton. In addition, The Spa Spot operates travelling shows at trade fairs, malls and significant events throughout western Canada 20 or more times per year. They inventory more Maax Spas product than any other dealer in the province. They provide exceptional client service before, during and long after every sale – something she believes is missing, generally speaking, in the industry and in retail operations today. She backs up her claim with fact – in both 2011 and 2012 Candace has earned first place honors at the Maax Spas Circle of Excellence Training Centre in Arizona. In written exams on product knowledge, she has led all other North American contestants. In 2012, she recorded a perfect 100% score! This busy up and coming business leader is always on the go: selling product, ordering stock, finalizing details for installations or assigning technicians for service and warranty work. She’s an expert in tub water chemistry, too, but, most of all, is on hand to patiently and proficiently inform and answer questions about tubs. If you value old-fashioned service where your needs are the priority, count on Candace Bourassa and your closest Spa Spot store.

R & K Services Some 12 years ago, Kim’s life took a new direction when she started working with her father, Ron, as a partner in R & K Services. They converted a PT Cruiser into a work van and mobile oﬃce and together they travelled job to job, Ron doing the refrigeration work while Kim managed the accounts, took appointments, coordinated the jobs and ordered parts. It wasn’t long, however, before the business outgrew the PT Cruiser. They purchased a shop and oﬃce on the north side of Camrose. They bought a new truck and hired another technician. The business has grown steadily over the past decade. Customers from across central Alberta call R & K for refrigeration, air conditioning and heating services, and Kim has been there from the beginning, enjoying her work with customers, booking appointments, dispatching jobs, ordering parts and managing the books. It’s pretty much what she started out doing with Dad in that PT Cruiser a dozen years ago; building a business that’s gained a strong reputation for excellent workmanship and strong customer service. 5419-47 Street, Camrose Phone 780.608.1440

Windsor Plywood

The Auto Shoppe

Six years in a heartbeat. Nicole Nanu kind of shakes her head in amazement that it’s already been six years since she and her husband Marius bought the Windsor Plywood business in Camrose. Asked if she was apprehensive about buying a business and moving to Camrose, Nicole says she was confident about their new venture. Marius had some 17 years’ experience selling Windsor products at a store in Edmonton, and Nicole knew her way around the accounting. She also enjoys working with customers, which she finds far more interesting and satisfying than her administrative duties. She likes meeting people and hearing what they’re planning for their next project, whether it’s a renovation or a brand new building. Nicole often provides innovative suggestions, ideas that the customer may not have considered, especially in relation to the wide range of materials that are now available through Windsor. Flooring, windows, doors, finishing products, Windsor has unique products you can’t find anywhere else in Camrose. And Nicole would be delighted to tell you about them when you’re ready to start your next project.

The autobody industry is one that typically doesn’t attract a lot of women. It’s a hard world with metal, power tools, loud noise and physical work. Meet Jenn Stone, not your typical autobody worker. As general manager of The Auto Shoppe in Camrose, Jenn talks about her work in ways more concerned w ith customers than the industry standard. She talks about the “healing process” people go through after their vehicle has been in an accident. “My goal is having customers happy with their repairs and having the least stressful experience possible,” says Jenn with a vivacious smile. When was the last time your autobody person used the words healing and stressful? Jenn also is driven by keeping up with the latest technology in the industry. “We have positioned ourselves to increase productivity and reduce waste by purchasing top-of-the-line equipment and training our staff to increase efficiency.” She and owner Gord Graham are committed to increasing their ability to help customers. She defines success as building lasting relationships with customers and trade partners. If you’re in need of autobody collision repairs and want someone who puts your needs first, call Jenn at The Auto Shoppe and be prepared for a refreshing change. Wow, now that’s a body shop!

CLBI ready to celebrate 80 years in community By Murray Green

The Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute will be turning 80 this fall. "We are planning our 80th anniversary celebration for the long weekend in November," said Pastor Harold Rust. The celebration will be held from Nov. 9 to 11. "We founded in 1932, at a time when you might say the economy was not rolling right along. Harvest was slim. Parents where wondering what to do in order to keep the youth from getting into trouble," explained

Pastor Harold. "This whole area, especially the Scandinavians, bonded together to start the bible college." CLBI will be hosting special events to mark the anniversary. "We will have something planned for the fall, but November is the start-up date 80 years ago and we invite people to be a part of that," added Pastor Harold. Although it is still August, CLBI has room for more students. "Our attendance for this fall seems to be down a little bit," said the pastor. "We are not a

large school like Augustana by any means. We have about 50 students enrolled, which is still a healthy number to keep us going. We have students involved in children's programs throughout the area." The returning students are spread out across Alberta and Saskatchewan, currently working in various children's programs. "We encourage everyone to take a drive by the CLBI. Some years ago, it is 10 years ago now, because we dreamt of it at our

70th anniversary, and a few years later a sculpture was created. It is out front, right at the corner facing toward the downtown area and right across from the courthouse. It is a statue that is a 3-D mock up of our logo and we have an alumni from Switzerland and he is really a great artist. He came over and did some refurbishing of that statue and we encourage everyone to look at the change. It has all kinds of verses integrated into it and it is a fascinating peace of art too," said Pastor Harold.

"Over the last few years, we have refurbished the buildings, so we are well equipped for the future. A church closed in Calgary about three or four years ago and sold its building. They gave us a $1 million and that was a blessing, which allowed us to put a new roof on and furnace system in. Some of the funds were used for World Hunger, so it was spread around the world," explained Pastor Harold. For more information on CLBI, located at 4837-52A Street, phone 780-672-4454.

About Time Productions looking forward to busy fall By Dan Jensen

About Time Productions artistic director, Cathie Johnson, can't contain her enthusiasm about the coming year! "I think it's going to be our best season yet," said Johnson. "Everyone is really looking forward to it." Two of the new About Time Productions offerings for 2012-13 are Music Theory and "Just for Boys". Music Theory, taught by Tova Olson, is an intermediate and advanced program which will provide students the opportunity to experience music theory on a regular basis. "Children and young adults have an ability to absorb tremendous amounts of information at a young age," said Johnson. "The challenge becomes presenting the knowledge in such a way as to promote retention. Excitement plus repetition promotes successful retention and understanding." "Just for Boys" is an athletic movement program taught by Signe Peake that will help young boys, ages 6-12, improve their strength and flexibility in a safe manner. Different dance styles will be used to facilitate abdominal and other core muscle groups. "A lot of athletes – Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan for instance – have danced," said Johnson. "It has been shown that dance increases core strength, flexibility and coordination." Popular programs that are being brought back include Body Works and Theatre Works for ages 3 and up, Body Works is

a non-competitive two-semester dance program taught by Signe Peake and Paige Fairall that teaches students to move their bodies in beautiful and creative ways. With Theatre Works students are introduced by Nancy Killen to various ways of telling a story through movement, voice, improvisation, word play and the use of characters. About Time Production's 2012-13 musical theatre production course will be "Once Upon a Mattress"(the true story of the princess and the pea). Auditions will be held at the Bailey Theatre September 3 and 4 at 6:30 pm. "We've been doing the musical theatre since we started in 2005," said Johnson. "The pro-

gram has been designed to teach theatre etiquette, performance and what is involved with putting together a musical show." About Time Productions had approximately 170 children registered for its programs in 2011-12- a number that Johnson hopes to see grow to around 200 for 2012-13. "The programs we are offering this year are intended to meet a growing demand in what is an outstanding arts community," said Johnson. About Time Productions firmly believes in the power of the arts to transform people of all ages, but especially children and young adults. In essence, students learn to express what

is deep inside that rarely has a chance to escape. "We encourage all of our students to use their creative imaginations and expand their verbal communication skills in a safe and friendly environment," said Johnson. "This encourages them to take chances in life that they might not otherwise take on their own." Research has found that learning in and through the arts contributes significantly to improved cultural thinking, problem posing, problem solving and decision-making, fosters higher-order thinking skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation, regularly engages multiple skills and abilities and develops

a person's imagination and judgment. Children who participate in in-school and after-school programs generally attain higher academic achievement, behave better in class, handle conflict more effectively, and cooperate more with authority figures and with their peers. Students involved in sustained theatre arts often show gains not only in reading proficiency but also in self control and motivation, and in empathy and tolerance of others." "I have seen kids who have been involved in our programs grow by leaps and bounds," said Johnson. "The kids who have come in being very shy have turned out to be some of our best actors and actresses. In my opinion, all being shy is not trusting, feeling that you are going to get laughed at, feeling that you are in a situation where you are going to get noticed and pointed at. All theatre does really is build confidence in the fact that it doesn't matter. You start trusting in yourself more and you start to realize that you are awesome. You are able to feel the sense of trust with the people in your group. We have one girl who went from not being able to speak louder than a mouse to tying for second place, at 13 years of age, in musical theatre at Provincials in the 16 and under category." Johnson enjoys telling the story of two sisters who were taking theatre classes, who were overheard by their grandmother chatting and trying to solve a bullying problem. Continued on page 20

Ukrainian Veselka Dancers preserving their heritage By Dan Jensen

The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers are doing more than performing and showing off their colourful costumes. They're preserving their heritage. "We feel it is important to remember where we came from and to pass that on to our children," said Danica Siewert, president of the Ukrainian Veselka Dancers. "I think our grandparents would be proud of what we are doing." The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers will start a new season of dance in the middle of September. Practices are held at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre every Wednesday starting with the youngest at 4:30. "We have around 30 or 40 children and about 10 adults," said Siewert. Children range in age from four to 15, while the oldest adult dancer is in her seventies. The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers' adult group was formed four years ago. "The group started with three dancers the first year and has been growing steadily," said Siewert. "We performed twice last year, once at Malanka and once at the year-end concert."

Members of the Ukrainian Veselka Dancers perform at the Festival of Trees

The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers attend a number of carefully-chosen competitions but do not place great emphasis on winning, like some other dance groups from Edmonton which rehearse two or three times a week. "Our focus is more around keeping our heritage and keep-

ing that heritage in our families," said Siewert. The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers' two instructors teach dances from different parts of Ukraine, each of which has a different style and flavour. "They take up a lot of energy but I wouldn't say that you have to be athletic to do them," said

Siewert. "Most of our dancers I know participate in sports in schools but I wouldn't say you have to be super athletic." The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers will be travelling to Ukraine in the summer of 2013 for two weeks, where they will be performing at festivals, visiting a number of small villages,

and taking a few workshops to improve their skills. The club has been fund-raising for the trip for the last two years. "There are a few of the adult dancers who are going but they won't be participating in the workshops or the performances," said Siewert. The trip to Ukraine is the first that the Ukrainian Veselka Dancers have organized themselves. "This is the first we have done as a club," said Siewert. "There were members of our club that went a few years ago with another club to the Ukraine because they had spots that needed to be filled." The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers does its best to meet all the requests that are received for special demonstrations and performances. "We have performed at Jaywalkers' Jamboree, at the Festival of Trees and at the Malanka," said Siewert. "We try to perform at as many functions as we can. It's all a matter of pulling the dancers together." The Ukrainian Veselka Dancers will be signing up new members from 6:30 to 9:00 September 5 at the Community Registration Night, in the Camrose Community Centre.

The Camrose Camera Club wants to help you become a better photographer. The 30- to 35-member club meets Tuesdays from 7 to 9 at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre, under the Camrose Wildrose Co-op. "We share information on photography," explained Camrose Camera Club vice president Morvyn Patterson. "We bring in speak-

ers and we run courses for ourselves but also for the general public." A course that has proven to be very popular over the last few years is one that provides tips on how to purchase a digital camera. "We often get a waiting list," said Patterson. "The Camrose Arts Centre sometimes asks us to do extra ones over and above what we committed ourselves to do." The club also operates a historic photo booth during the Can-

ada Day celebrations at Camrose and District Centennial Museum, and provides photographic services for special projects. Shortly after the Bailey Theatre opened, club members put together a photo presentation featuring a few of those who used the theatre throughout its history. "We shot ghost-type pictures using double exposures," said Camrose Camera Club president Richard Edwards. "We had peo-

ple dress in costumes and added a few special effects." Camrose Camera Club conducts a critique night once a month where members submit the photos they have taken and obtain helpful suggestions on what they could have done to make those photos better. "We learn quite a bit from each other," said Patterson. Camrose Camera Club has collected several pieces of photo-

related equipment over the years that is available to all members, including a computer loaded with the Photoshop program, a plasma TV, projector, backdrops and some strobe lighting equipment (now starting to get quite dated). A few years ago members pooled their resources to purchase a high-end scanner valued at between $600 or $700 for quality photo reproduction. Continued on page 19

BATTLE RIVER SCHOOL DIVISION #31 SCHOOL OPENING INFORMATION 2012-13 SCHOOL YEAR

Our Mission The Battle River School Division, in partnership with parents and the community, will ensure that each student acquires the necessary knowledge, skills, and core values to be a caring, productive member of our democratic society.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE

SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR

On behalf of the teachers, administrators, and support staff, I would like to welcome each and every student to Battle River School Division for the 2012-2013 school year. This year staff will continue to strive to achieve our vision: Every Student, Every Day, A Success by providing a holistic educational experience focused on the academic, character, and relationship development of each student. As a school division, we will emphasize the following priorities for the coming year: • Literacy • Assessment • 21st century learning • Creating Welcoming and Caring 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 28 and 29, 2012 to permit all staff to attend a Learning Institute. Please note this office closure includes the Transportation Department, so it will not be possible to purchase bus passes on these days. • 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, extension 5244, or 1-800-262-4869, extension 5244, 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 our plans for the 2012-2013 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 $350.00 per student in grades 1-12, or $315.00 per ECS student. Registration for busing of noneligible students will be confirmed upon receipt of the applicable fee. Reminder: students will be expected to produce their bus passes upon entering the bus. • Effective immediately, partial Bus Passes are no longer available; because a seat is secured for the paid rider, no half-passes or winter passes will be sold. • We now accept cash, cheque, Visa, Mastercard and Debit. Battle River School Division #31 will be accepting registrations for busing in the City of Camrose from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon and 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. during the week of August 20-24, 2012 at the following address: 5402-48A Avenue, Camrose. Any questions regarding attendance areas and/or eligibility for busing should be directed to the Assistant Director of Transportation.

Due to longer instructional days, most “Feeder Schools” have additional ‘feeder days’ on which students will not be in attendance. The Holden, Ryley, Allan Johnstone and Lougheed Schools, as well as Cornerstone Christian Academy, are operating with a four-day week. Principals at “Feeder Schools” and at the four-day week schools will likely distribute a slightly modified school year calendar for their students.

"It made sense for us to get a quality scanner that we could share rather than a cheap scanner that you can pick up anywhere," said Patterson. The Camrose Camera Club has seen its numbers start to grow when people came to understand the different things they are able to do with digital photography. Two of the most regular members come from Killam and Bashaw. "A lot of the attraction of being part of the club is the camaraderie," said Edwards. "We like sharing a common interest." Current club members explore

a vast variety of interests, ranging from High Dynamic Range (HDR) and abstract photography to landscapes and wildlife. "We don't have any rules that you can't do this or can't do that," said Patterson. "There are members who use large format cameras and we have people who use shirt type pocket cameras." The Camrose Camera Club puts on a Photospectacular show every spring featuring member photographs and audio visual creations. "We have been asked to take the audio visual presentations into the lodges and schools," said Patterson.

"They were trying to apply some of the lessons they had learned in drama class towards the situation," said Johnson. "That wouldn't have happened if they weren't taking that class. I have always said that theatre heals- it makes us stronger and brings us closer together." About Time Productions feels fortunate to have strong support from the community, whether it be volunteers who have been willing to serve on the board or businesses who have helped with expenses. "We had McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC as our season sponsor last year," said Johnson. "They saw that what we were doing was for the kids and they jumped aboard right away." Other generous supporters have included the Kinsmen Club of Camrose, the Lions Club, and the Masons. About Time Productions does not let cost stand in the way of any child who wants to participate in its programs. "We have programs in place to try and help all who want to take our classes." said Johnson. About Time Productions concludes each year with the presentation of Awesome Attitude Awards to one student in each

class, as well as the James Berg Memorial Award, to the one who exemplifies the best attitude. "A good attitude is what we cherish the most," said Johnson. "Some kids are born very talented and you don't have control over that. What you can control is your attitude and that is what we acknowledge. Our last year's recipient was Sarah Haugen, who worked many volunteer hours not only to help pay off the instruction she received but also her three year old sister’s. She loves About Time Productions so much she took it upon herself to put together a package and do lectures about taking theatre because that is something she loves. I can really see her as my replacement in the future." About Time Productions will be setting up a table at Community Registration Night September 5, from 6:30 to 9:00, and will be beginning classes on Sept. 17. "We start the year with a parent "meet and greet" because we feel it is important that parents and students meet with the instructors one on one," said Johnson. "We want to find out what we can do to create the best learning experience we can for their children."

Think swim and dance. That about summarizes the Camrose Cygnets Synchronized Swim Club, which will begin another year Sept. 22. "We're looking forward to getting back in the pool," said Andrea Uglem, president of the Camrose Cygnets' board. The Camrose Cygnets practice at the Camrose Aquatic Centre from 10 a.m. to noon every Saturday between September and the end of April. "We have two different groups: the Aqua Squirts, which are swimmers aged four to eight, and Recreational, which is for swimmers nine and up," said Uglem. Aqua Squirts practice their swimming skills, while the girls in Recreational, after their warmup period, work on routines and figures in preparation for twice a year star level testing. Achieving Star level one requires them to do five to ten figures and participate in a routine with the rest of the group. Star level two requires them to do 10 figures, and Star level three requires them to do 13.

"They can go as high as ten levels," said Uglem. The Camrose Cygnets are coached by Karli Stordahl, who swam competitively with the club, and Kristen Wotton a fulltime lifeguard at the Aquatic Centre. "We added Kristen this past year because our club had doubled in size," said Uglem. "Karli has been coaching the club the last five years." The Camrose Cygnets perform two shows a year, one at Christmas and one as a final wrap-up to the year. They also do one or two fund-raisers to defray club expenses. A swimathon in March raised over $2,000 when swimmers swam a number of laps equalling the total distance between Camrose and Ohaton. The Camrose Cygnets do not attend competitions, although there is a possibility that may change. "We lost our competitive coach a few years ago but we are hoping that eventually we will regain our competitive status," said Uglem.

Council approves arts society request for funding By Dan Jensen Camrose City council has approved a request from the Camrose Arts Society for a $1,000 sponsorship of a Sept. 28 Alberta Culture Days kickoff show at the Bailey Theatre. "We will need to charge for this event unless we can get some generous sponsors to give us a helping hand," explained Crystal Ozment for Camrose Arts Society president Theo Thirsk and the 2012 Alberta Culture Days committee in a July 17 letter

to Mayor Chalmers. "If we can get enough sponsors we will be able to offer this show for free and provide an added exciting cultural experience for a Camrose adult audience. The goal is to raise $3,000 to put on this show." The City sponsorship will be over and above a $5,000 grant the Camrose Arts Society has received from the provincial government to put on an entire weekend of events that include a CAM-FM DJ contest, a Mandala art show,

a retrospective art show featuring the late Glenda Beaver, multicultural displays and performances, an adult writing workshop, free arts workshops for children and adults, a photography show, an arts festival for local entertainers, a Blast from the Past with the museum, and a special matinee show for the whole family. "Last year was the first year that any funding was available from the government and this gave opportunities that we did not have before,

such as being able to offer more things and being able to better promote," said Ozment. The City of Camrose provided a $1,000 sponsorship for the Culture Days celebration in 2011. "The 2011 event was well attended by the community at large and showed the potential of becoming a significant cultural event in Camrose," said Camrose community services general manager Paul Nielsen. The sponsorship will be

funded from the Camrose Community Assistance account, which has a remaining balance of $3,000. Alberta Culture Days was initiated by the provincial government as a way to not only celebrate arts and culture but to also provide an opportunity for all Albertans to access the arts. The $5,000 provided by the government will not cover the kick-off show.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER August 21, 2012

PCN, St. Mary's help prevent strokes Submitted A proactive approach in the prevention of strokes is the focus of a new collaborative program in Camrose. The Heart and Stroke Clinic at St. Mary’s Hospital and the Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) recently partnered to develop a program to screen for individuals with Atrial Fibrillation – otherwise known as an irregular heart rhythm that may lead to stroke. “Simply performing a 60 second pulse check on a patient already sitting in our clinic has the potential to yield far-reaching results. If a patient known to be at risk is given the option of treatment to prevent a stroke, they will no doubt be in favour of it,” Colleen McKinstry, clinical manager Camrose PCN, said. "We have tested about 200 patients since we started on July 10 and we identified four individuals with Atrial Fibrillation. That is four people we are working with to prevent strokes." The initiative was launched early July and is underway at both St. Mary’s emergency room and the Camrose PCN Edgeworth Centre Clinic. The program has already proven successful with positively identifying one to two people per day with an irregular heart rhythm. The procedure is performed on all patients over the age of 18. St. Mary’s is the first acute care emergency room in Alberta to launch an Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Identification initiative in partnership with a PCN. The purpose of this project is to be proactive in the prevention of strokes in patients who are identified as having previously undiagnosed AF – a risk factor that increases the chance of having a stroke by three to five times. This preventive care decreases the cost to the health care system and saves lives, as stroke prevention is simpler and less expensive than post-stroke hospital care. Cheryl King, stroke team clinical lead, Covenant Health St. Mary's Hospital, sees the potential in this initiative spreading. “We started this initiative in emergency, and the next step is to spread it

throughout the hospital. We hope to share our successes so that this initiative will become a provincial standard of care for all health care settings,” said Cheryl. "Of the 1,500 patients we have tested, two began treatment right away and 41 referrals were made to the clinic. An additional patient will likely receive a pacemaker, so we may have saved three strokes in a month." Trained health care providers at the PCN and the hospital emergency room perform a 60 second pulse check and follow an algorithm to determine whether the patient will need further testing to rule out AF. If the patient is noted to have an irregular pulse, then a simple test measuring the electrical activity of the heart will be performed. A follow-up phone call is made by the St. Mary's Hospital heart and stroke clinic team to every positively-identified patient for tracking and follow-up care purposes. Once the process is completed, the patient’s family doctor will then continue to provide the most appropriate treatment for that individual patient. Michelle Bowman, nurse lead, chronic disease management at the PCN agrees prevention is significant in an individual’s approach to their health. “Stroke prevention is a key component of our work at the PCN. Through the simplest of means, a 60 second pulse check, we could discover a heart rhythm that could lead to someone potentially having a stroke. If an irregular heart rate is discovered, an easy process of further investigation is triggered and a treatment plan followed. It is very proactive and very exciting to be part of.” The Camrose PCN consists of four family practice clinics in Camrose and surrounding area with 30 participating family doctors serving over 25,000 Albertans. Covenant Health is Canada’s largest Catholic health care organization with over 14,000 physicians, employees and volunteers serving in 12 communities across Alberta.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Covenant Health St. Mary's Hospital registered nurse Sarah Baker examines Cheryl King for an atrial fibrillation while Dr. Kevyn Letley waits for the results. The standard practice of checking for an irregular heart rhythm began on July 10.

County cancels Ohaton grease cleaning bill By Murray Green The Ohaton Athletic Association was hit with an invoice for about $1,806 for unplugging drains and manholes caused by grease build-up, gravel, toys, hygiene products and paper towels. "We installed a grease trap at the recommendation of the county," said president Brent Bowie. "We felt that this would look after the concern from the county. It is a rental hall, so we do our best to limit the amount of grease poured down the drain. Then we received the invoice, however our grease trap was in place and is checked regularly." Brent said that the trap is indeed trapping grease and is working fine. "We have a maintenance program in place to monitor and clean the trap as necessary." When a residential area was flushed, they found lots of gravel in the system. "One manhole didn't have water, so it was checked for blockage," said Brent. "One problem is that not enough water goes

through the system to flush everything out." County council discussed that they are not totally sure if the blockage is coming from the hall or surrounding homes or businesses because the drainage system may lack the proper sloping or it isn't flushed out often enough. "I know the City of Camrose flushes its system yearly in residential areas and in high areas of blockage, it flushes those areas twice a year," added Brent. "We have a high volume of water that runs through the hall and that is the best thing for the system. We have not encountered any blockage side effects." In November 2006, a letter was sent to the Ohaton Community Hall requesting that they discontinue disposing grease and other oily materials down the sanitary system. The letter also advised that if the practice continued and the county public works crew was called out to remove blockages, then the expenses would be forwarded. This letter was sent

out as a precautionary notice in light of Christmas festivities and related dinners fast approaching. "A similar letter was once again sent to the Ohaton Community Hall on June 16, 2010. This time it was invoked by having been called out to remove a sewer line blockage," said Al Radke, county assistant administrator. "It was identified that the blockage was created by grease build up. The letter references the previous warning and stresses in bold that costs will be passed on in the future. The letter also encourages the hall to establish policy and procedures for people using the hall to refrain from this practice." A report indicates that public works was called out to remove a blockage in the sewer line on or about April 12 and the association received the bill in June. "I would recommend to council that we do more research and determine where the grease build-up and blockage is coming from," said Al. "Historically, Ohaton has had prob-

lems with drainage because of the lack of sloping," said councillor Brain Austrom. "Unfortunately, there is not enough flow to wash out the low spots. The hall might be partially to blame, but I suspect that it is also coming from the surrounding area and it may simply be stopping near the hall because it is not sloped properly at that point. It is very difficult to determine where it is coming from. It is a poorly designed system. I'm going to make a motion that we do more research on this to determine the cause of the blockage. It should come back to a future council meeting." Councillor Brian changed his motion to cancel the bill. "We should make sure the system is flushed at least once a year." Now that the hall has a grease trap, it will be monitored. "We ask for a damage deposit and we make sure the hall is kept in good shape, or there will be a charge for cleaning," said Brent.

Grateful Grannies to host grandmothers' conference By Dan Jensen The Camrose Grateful Grannies group will be hosting the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign provincial conference at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta September 7 and 8. "We're going to be having grandmothers and grand others from across the province attend," said Grateful Grannies' communications officer Barb Stroh. The Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign is an initiative of the Stephen Lewis Foundation created to support the indomitable African grandmothers and the resourceful community-based organizations that care for them and for the millions of children in their care who have been orphaned by AIDS. Members of the Campaign, including the Camrose Grateful Grannies, conduct fundraising activities, raise awareness in Canada about the expertise and leadership of Africa's grandmothers and their struggle to secure a hopeful and healthy future for generations of children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/

AIDS, and build solidarity among African and Canadian grandmothers in order to better understand and sustain the vital work being done to turn the tide of AIDS in Africa. "It is quite extraordinary to see the bond that has developed between grandmothers on both sides of the ocean," said Stephen Lewis. "In a dramatic way it helps to redefine the chasm between developed and developing nations. It goes without saying that the chasm exists in the realms of poverty, conflict and disease, but in the realms of sophistication, intelligence and fundamental human decency, nothing separates the African grandmothers from the Canadian grandmothers. They are as one." Book launch Keynote speaker for the conference will be author and documentary photographer Paola Gianturco, who will be talking about her latest book, Grandmother Power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Global Phenomenon, which is arriving in bookstores this fall. "Her presentation from 9:00 to 10:30, Sept. 8, is open to the public," said Stroh.

Grandmother Power: A Global Phenomenon profiles activist grandmothers in fifteen countries on five continents who tell their compelling stories in their own words. "Grandmothers in Canada, Swaziland, and South Africa collaborate to care for AIDS orphans," states a press release from the book's publisher, powerHouse Books. "Grandmothers in Senegal convince communities to abandon male genital mutilation. Grandmothers in India become solar engineers and bring light to their villages while those in Peru, Thailand and Laos sustain weaving traditions. Grandmothers in Argentina continue their 40-year search for grandchildren who were kidnapped during the nation's military dictatorship. Irish grandmothers teach children to sow seeds and cook with fresh, local ingredients. Filipino grandmothers demand justice for having been forced into sex slavery during World War II. Guatemalan grandmothers operate a hotline and teach parenting. In the Middle East, Israeli grandmothers monitor checkpoints to prevent abuse and the UAE's

most popular television show stars four animated grandmothers who are surprised by contemporary life. Indigenous grandmothers from thirteen countries conduct healing rituals to bring peace to the world." Gianturco, a grandmother herself, has documented women's lives in 55 countries. Her work has been exhibited at UNESCO's Paris headquarters; United Nations' New York headquarters; Chicago's Field Museum; San Francisco's International Museum of Women; and many other venues. Other books by Gianturco include Women Who Light the Dark (2007), Viva Colores! A Salute to the Indomitable People of Guatemala (2006), Celebrating Women (2004), and In Her Hands, Craftswomen Changing the World (2004). "We are very privileged to have Paola be part of our conference," said Camrose Grateful Grannies coordinator Agnes Hoveland. Updates The conference will also feature an update on the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign by Zahara Mohamed

(campaign coordinator), as well as break out sessions on story telling, computer skills, writing memories to build a food memory cookbook, the new Gran advocacy organization, and creative fundraising ideas. "These will be short and repeated so attendees can enjoy more than one topic," said Vicki Strang. The Camrose Grateful Grannies are one of over 240 grandmother groups across Canada. Fundraising activities that have been carried out over the last two years include the sale of cookies, jewellery and garden transplants, concerts, and dinner and garden parties, and the design and sale of angel greeting cards. In December of last year the group hosted Christmas Market in the historic Bailey Theatre. Another is scheduled for Dec. 2. Members of the Grateful Grannies participated in the third annual Stride to Turn the Tide fundraising walk in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation June 10.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER August 21, 2012

Abby Mallard returns from year in Ecuador By Dan Jensen

Abby Mallard has had a greater appreciation for everything since returning home from Ecuador June 21. "I am realizing how fortunate we are to be living here," said Mallard, who spent 10 months in the South America country as a Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak sponsored exchange student. "We have so much yet we complain when our cell phones break and when our parents won't drive us to the movies." Mallard saw several examples of Ecuador's poor living conditions and what the people there are doing to try to eke out a living. She also saw how the people are able to adapt when things don't work out the way they should. "When it rained we sometimes weren't able to get any water because the water filtration system couldn't keep up," she said. "Some parts of the city I was in (Portoveijo) would go without water for three days." Mallard stayed with two Rotary families who helped familiarize her with the language, food and general culture. "It was so incredible to be with them," she said. "The first family I was with had three brothers, all of whom were teenagers, who went out of their way to welcome me. The second family with whom she stayed was a couple whose daughter was on a Rotary exchange in Finland. "They were so nice, so funny and so much like me that it was hard to say goodbye," said Mallard. "They told me that they want to come to Canada for a visit when their daughter finishes her education." Mallard attended a high school in Ecuador for part of her time there. "I didn't go to school at all from January to April because they get a lot of rain in those months that can cause flooding," she said. One of the major highlights of Mallard's year was a trip to the Galapagos Islands, just off the coast of Ecuador, which inspired Charles Darwinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory of evolution by natural selection following his visit in 1835. The islands and the surrounding marine reserve have been called a unique "living museum and showcase of evolution."

Mallard (back row, right side) poses for a group shot with friends at the high school she attended in Ecuador.

"I went there with exchange students from all over the world," said Mallard. "I saw many different species that don't exist anywhere else in the world." Mallard also had a chance to go into the rain forest and canoe up to a little hotel located on the Amazon River. "We saw a lot of areas that had been untouched by man, and were constantly surrounded by monkeys, tarantulas and other creatures," she said. "Coming from Alberta I had never seen anything like that before. Our guides grew up in the Amazon so they knew everything about it." Mallard was thrilled by the chance to fish for pirhanas, which

she learned are not as dangerous to humans as they are made out to be in the movies. "We tied raw meat to the end of the fishing hook and when they bit on it we pulled them in so we could take pictures before putting them back in the water," she said. While she is happy to be home, Mallard misses the new friends she made. "I don't know when I will see them again, or if I will ever see them again," she said. "My hope is that I can go back again as part of an international study program at university." Mallard will be taking a heavier than normal course load

this fall so she can complete her Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses over the next year and a half. "I would like to take part in the graduation ceremonies with the rest of my class next spring, even if I have to come back for more courses later," she said. Mallard believes the exchange has helped with her own personal growth and the way she views herself. "I have always been an outgoing kind of person but now, I believe, I am more confident and self assured," she said. The Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak chooses exchange participants from applicants who have shown they can be excel-

lent ambassadors for their city and country, who enjoy meeting new people, who are open to new ideas, and are comfortable with change. Students are expected to conduct presentations on their experiences after returning home to help others understand what Rotary youth exchanges are all about. The Rotary Youth Exchange Program is one of the world's most respected exchange programs. Every year about 7,000 students spend a school year in another country, learning about that culture "from the inside," becoming fluent in another language, and forming lifelong friendships.

Mirror Lake spillway remedial work put on hold By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council accepted a recommendation from the engineering department Aug. 13 that the relocation of an existing watermain from underneath the structure and the installation of a steel cut-off wall in the front not proceed at this time. Assistant municipal engineer Jeremy Enarson presented a written report to council noting that the tenders for the work were considerably higher than the amount the City had anticipated. "Pre-tender estimates for the remedial work were anticipated

to be in the order of approximately $725,000, of which the steel cut-off wall contract was anticipated to be approximately $606,000 plus GST," said Enarson. "Administration did not anticipate that the project would go over the overall approved budget of $915,000." The City of Camrose has already spent approximately $152,860 on the project, leaving $762,140 of the original budget still remaining. City administration will continue working with the project engineers from MPE Engineering to determine the reasons for the discrepancies between the engineer's estimate and the tender submissions.

"We are going to work with the consultant to see if something was missed or if these (the bids) were something that were impacted by economic drivers beyond our control," said engineering services general manager Kriss Sarson. The analysis will also identify alternate remedial actions that could be undertaken by the City to assist in stopping the leakage of water through the spillway structure. "We're going to review what risk there is to the existing structure," said Sarson. A detailed report is expected to be presented by September or October. Redistricting bylaw

Council also gave first reading to a re-districting bylaw that would accommodate the proposed subdivision of one titled area near the railway underpass on 50 Street to 24 titled lots to accommodate the construction of 24 duplex units. The current districting does not accommodate duplex units. Acting director of planning and development Shelley Munro told council a bylaw that would have allowed the same re-designation was defeated on second reading in 2007. "Opposition from adjacent residents was heard, with concerns to the status of 50 Street," said Munro. "As a result of this decision, the subdivision author-

ity refused the subdivision application, operating as Ironwood Estates. Since that time, upgrades have been completed to the CN Rail trestle and 50 Street to Camrose Drive. The Creekview subdivision is nearing completion with access also from 50 Street." Councillor Gerry Galenza noted the development has the potential to assist Augustana with its future student housing needs. "The concerns may have now gone away over the road and trestle." A public hearing on the proposed re-districting is scheduled to be held at City Hall on September 10.

Ford Explorer Best-in-class fuel efficiency By Dan Jensen

The 2013 Ford Explorer with 2.0 litre Eco Boost fourcylinder engine at Lamb Ford Sales inspires with best-inclass highway fuel efficiency. "With a Transport Canada rating 7.0 litres per 100 km highway and 10.4 litres per 100 km in the city it out performs even some of the hybrid models," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read. The engine also delivers 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and a generous 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. The 3.5 Ti-VCT V6 engine and six-speed SelectShift Automatic delivers 290 horsepower while using just 8.2 litres per 100 km highway. "You can add the Class II Trailer Tow Package and tow up to 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs.) with utmost confidence," said Read. Standard trailer sway control automatically reduces engine speed and selectively applies the brakes when trailer sway is detected to help you maintain control of both the vehicle and the trailer. Hill start assist helps keep you from rolling downhill when you take your foot off the brake – very handy on boat launch ramps. Changing conditions Explorer's highly capable Terrain Management system is paired with Intelligent 4WD to give you seamless shift-on-the-fly confidence. Set it to Mud, Rut and the system lets the tires spin a bit if needed, to keep you moving. Set it to Snow, Gravel, Grass and it optimizes grip on all sorts of slippery surfaces. The Sand setting allows aggressive wheel spin to help you stay on top, while Hill Descent Control regulates your speed on steep declines. Comfort The 2013 Ford Explorer Limited takes comfort to a new level with leather trimmed seating (standard) for seven, a heated steering wheel, 10-way power, heated and cooled front seats that are padded with environmentally friendly, supportive, soy-based foam. "The cabin is crafted to world-class standards for fit and finish," said Read. The Explorer lets you stow all sorts of cargo thanks to a standard second-row 60/40 split-fold seat and a PowerFold third-row seat, as well as a flat load floor. A cargo security shade protects your valuables from prying eyes. Ford Explorer offers the latest version of voiceactivated SYNC with MyFord Touch. Get ultimate control over your phone, entertainment, navigation and climate. Connect your kids' favourite game console when in Park. MyFord Touch includes an eight-inch LCD touch screen, a media hub, two LCD screens in the gauge cluster, and familiar five-way controls on the steering wheel. The system recognizes thousands of voice commands – everything from "set temperature to 20 degrees" to "find an Italian restaurant." "It lets you explore with both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road," said Read. The Navigation System features interactive maps

you can zoom and scroll – complete with 3D landmarks. Choose the Eco Route on the voice-guided turn-by-turn directions for a recommendation on the most efficient way to travel. One of the most impressive features on the new Ford Explorer is the ability to let it park itself. First, you press a button and active park assist alerts you when it has found an appropriate parallel parking spot. Then, you take your hands off the wheel and your Explorer literally steers itself into place. You simply follow system prompts to shift gears and control the brake and accelerator pedals. Safety The new Ford Explorer is loaded with safety features that increase your driving confidence, both day and night. The Blind Spot Information System with crosstraffic alert is designed to alert you with an amber light in your rear view mirror whenever it detects traffic in your blind spots. And when you're slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway, it alerts you to vehicles approaching from either side with a sound, a message centre warning and the amber light. Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support is designed to help you maintain a preset gap from the vehicle in front of you. If a potential collision is detected, the system flashes a warning across your

windshield, sounds an alarm, pre-charges the brakes, and increases brake assist sensitivity to provide responsiveness when you do brake. The new Lane Keeping System is designed to alert you Brett Read if it detects Explorer drifting toward a lane marker. A tiny camera tracks the road ahead of you. If it detects you approaching the line, it applies torque to the steering wheel, directing you to correct your path. If you cross a marker, Explorer shudders the steering wheel, alerting you to steer back toward centre. Drowsy drivers should promptly heed the warning of the Driver Alert System, which displays a coffee cup icon in your gauge cluster. It detects that you need to take a break from driving. New auto high beams enhance the high-intensity discharge headlamps by activating themselves to help improve visibility when no automatic headlamps or tail lights are detected in front of your Explorer. If lights are sensed, the system returns to the low-beam setting to help reduce glare for vehicles in front of you. For improved grip through turns, Explorer offers standard Curve Control, which helps slow the vehicle by as much as 16 km/h in about a second if it senses you are taking a curve too quickly.

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.

Report from legislature Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River - Wainwright

The Government of Alberta has launched an online Back to School Toolkit featuring a collection of resources and important information to help students, parents and education professionals gear up for a successful school year. The toolkit can be found at www.education.alberta.ca/backtoschool. Students will find information about their curriculum, helpful study tips and links to www.b-free.ca, a webpage dedicated to bullying prevention. Students can also learn about ways to develop leadership skills and to help shape the future of education through Speak Out, Alberta Education’s innovative student forum. The Back to School Toolkit features many useful resources for parents as well. These include My Child’s Learning: A Parent Resource, which breaks down curriculum by grade and subject in an easy to navigate format. There are also links to school jurisdiction and charter school information where parents can learn more about how schools in their area are performing. The Back to School Toolkit also provides information for Alberta’s teachers, school administrators and support staff. Subjects include the curriculum implementation schedule, employment opportunities such as the Northern Student Teachers' Bursary Program and ideas to increase levels of high school completion in Alberta schools. Alberta Education’s $6.8 billion annual budget supports more than 600,000 students, 35,000 teachers, 15,000 support staff and 2,100 schools across Alberta.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM Unidirectional Flushing is a method of cleaning the water mainlines through a network of flushing sequences with the water being discharged from a fire hydrant. The flushing of the pipes will dislodge and remove mineral deposits, sediments and biological deposits that accumulate over time. The City of Camrose implements the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program to: - maintain and improve the City’s water quality. - improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system. - reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water color. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants. Starting with Zone A (in Area 1) in early August, the UDF Program will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process.
