A seed of an idea initiated by the Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition has blossomed into a

wonderful and bountiful community garden

in the heart of Camrose. Under the direction of Bettyann Petruk and Jane CherryLemire, who are co-chairs of the Healthy Lifestyle Coalition, plus fellow committee members: Shirley Damberger, Janet Roy, Selina Dahl and Kathryn Badry and with help from Mother Nature, the garden has flourished. Because of the generous support of the landowners this novel garden became possible. And, after a season of creative thinking, generous business support and donations, it is of great benefit to the programming at The Open Door. The Open Door supports youth in our community, especially in times of need. By teaching skill development and providing work experience in their Café Connections and through the Good Food Box initiative, many youth involved with The Open Door have often been able to increase their employment opportunities. Potatoes and vegetables planted by volunteers on Saturday, May 28th in the 51 Street community garden “planters" are now being harvested daily. This fresh produce will be used in menu items at Café Connections at The Open Door as well as the Good Food Box program. In addition, it will be used for other community charitable cooking opportunities and in classes offered through The Open Door and the Camrose Arts Society.

Boomtown Trail launches apps for iPhone, iPad

Second-year CLBI student Lila Gaertner tells a bible story at Resurrection Lutheran Church's Vacation Bible School, which was held from August 22 to 25. The school had good attendance, drawing approximately 140 children between the ages of three and 12 every day. The theme of the VBS was Pandamania: Where God is Wild About You.

Alberta travellers can enjoy a personalized GPS audio tour of one of the province's most unique historical attractions, the Boomtown Trail, with the release of the new GeoRoamer Boomtown app. A scenic touring route between Edmonton and Calgary, the Boomtown Trail is made up of communities that sprang up nearly a century ago, spurred on by the expansion of the railways. The GeoRoamer Boomtown app, the first of its kind in Alberta, combines GPS, tour guides maps and brochures in one convenient handheld application. The Boomtown Trail is located north to south between Highway 14 to Highway 1, and east to west between Highways 21, 56 and 9 and the adjacent area. The app guides you through the Boomtown Trail, sharing stories, taking you from one point to the next and audibly alerting you about upcoming attractions and features. You can plan your own tour or follow along with an existing tour. This all-in-one app will tell you where you are, where you're going, what's near and how far to the next point. You can also store photos and videos collected along the way, which can be easily uploaded and shared online with friends and family. Available when and where you need the information most, the app offers a convenient, customizable experience of the Boomtown Trail the whole family will enjoy on the next trip to the region. The Boomtown GeoRoamer app is available free on iTunes for iPad and iPhone with an Android version due shortly. Additionally, The Boomtown Trail recently launched a second free iPad app called The Vacation Guide, which is also available for download on iTunes. This is a practical tool for exploring the region without the need for a conventional map or brochure.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER August 30, 2011

Nation mourns the passing of a great leader By Murray Green

Federal New Democrat Party leader Jack Layton will be remembered for his love of all Canadians. Mr. Layton was recovering from prostate cancer when he was diagnosed with another form of cancer. He left his position as the leader of the Official Opposition about a m onth ago. Mr. Layton died on August 22. He experienced his, and the party's, greatest success in the last election and was named the leader of the Official Opposition when he earned a faithful following across Canada. Crowfoot candidate Ellen Parker served under the NDP leader in four elections. "We were

still shocked. We were still hopeful right to the end. He wrote a letter to us and told us to be strong. Our thoughts are with his family, Olivia, Sara, Michael and Beatrice," said Ellen. "They were so much a part of his life." She said Canadians were touched by his strength and commitment. "People have been sending me letters and cards and I appreciate that. I understand we want to focus on Jack and his family, but it is heartfelt knowing other people cared about him as much as I c ared about him. He (Jack) really believed that what you saw of him in public is t he way he was in private." He had a v ision of a g reat country. "The strength of his con-

victions was that we could all work together to make Canada better. When you were in his company, you were his sole attention. He loved sharing and listening to stories. He would take time to learn things about everyone." Ellen has been inspired by Mr. Layton. "He admired Tommy Douglas and Jack had a w ay of inspiring us all. The NDP is like an extended family. He wanted to know what we were doing. He cared for everyone and wanted the best for everyone." Ellen first meet Mr. Layton in 2004. "After meeting him, I knew this is a m an I c ould follow and work with. He had the strength of hope and could overcome his fears."

Mr. Layton will also be remembered for pulling the party together when it needed it the most. "He was always a t eam player first. That inspiration of, now you can do more, was shared with everyone. His attitude was that he is here to help you. People have come to me and said I'm going to take more time in coming up with policies because of his inspiration." People from across Canada were starting to see that not only was Mr. Layton a g reat leader, but that his strengths were shown through all candidates. "Finally Canadians recognized who he is a nd was and who we are as New Democrats. Frankly, he was getting the attention that

is required to show where our convictions lie. This isn't about ego or power play, i t's truly about making our communities better." A candlelight vigil was held in Edmonton on August 24. "There were thousands of people out and that was so g ratifying. We took our strength from his letter. We had this technique with Jack that we all clapped together and when we did, it was like he was there with us. We wanted to do so much more with him." A leadership election will likely happen soon. "It will bring people together and turn the sorrow into joy. We want to make Canada and the world a b etter place and follow Jack's vision."

First Valerie Wolski Memorial Award to be presented this fall

Chelsea Wallach, of P rince George, B.C., guides her horse, Bugs on t he Burner, around a ba rrel in the 16th annual Alberta Barrel Racing Association Finals, which were held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition August 24 to 28. Known for its week-long cavalcade of events, the ABRA Finals is the largest non-profit barrel racing event in Canada. More than 500 spectators passed through the doors to see a selection of Western Canada's barrel racing competitors doing their best for a fast time.

The first annual Valerie Wolski Memorial Award will be awarded to an Augustana student this fall. Wolski, 41, was killed in February of this year while on duty for the Canadian Mental Health Association. After her death, a g roup of her college friends worked with the Augustana Faculty to create a student award in her memory. “Creating this fund was a way to help us grieve,” says Pam Chamberlain, who lived in Augustana’s student residence with Val for three years. “We felt so helpless after Val was killed, and this scholarship was a way we could make something good come of her death.” In just six months, the group has raised enough money to provide an ongoing annual scholarship of $1000. Bonita Anderson, Director of Development at Augustana, says, "The response from colleagues, alumni, and the community has been very gratifying. The fact that future students will be supported by this fund is such a wonderful tribute to Valerie, her work, and her memory." The award will be given to a psychology student who is interested in pursuing a h elping profession like Val did. “Val came from a low-income family, and I remember how hard it was for her financially,” says Denise Hawkins, who attended university with Val and who led the recent fundraising campaign. “But Val was very determined. She studied hard and graduated with distinction.” The annual award is c urrently set at $1,000 per year. As the endowment fund grows, the annual amount will be increased. “I’d like to see us giving out $1,250 next year,” says Hawkins. “University is expensive these days, and we want to make life a little easier for a student in a similar situation as Val was in.” To make a tax-deductible donation to the Valerie Wolski Memorial Award, please visit valeriewolski.net or contact the Development Office at Augustana.

Open market system for wheat could increase prices By Murray Green

Not all farmers on the prairies will be sad to see the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) next year. Agriculture producers from Western Canada made their views known at a p ublic information meeting held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on August 16, some in anger against the CWB. The CWB is ra llying its members against Ottawa's plan to end the board's marketing monopoly. The board is also holding a plebiscite on the issue, but federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz has indicated he plans to step in to force changes to the current system, regardless of the outcome. New Norway grain producer Steve Snider feels changes should benefit producers. "My experience is very specific because I'm an organic farmer. We have developed export markets for a lot of years. We have

been certified organic for 25 years, so we have been developing markets into the United States and abroad to Europe and Japan for some time," said Steve. "The frustration with the wheat board has been that they really did nothing for us. The CWB extract a b uy back cost. We sold the grain to the CWB and then buy it back to ship to market. It is called a buy back spread, which is a n arbitrary number. There is no fixed amount. We were at their mercy as to what it was going to cost us to ship to a foreign market. We didn't know until the pooling accounts closed what the price would be. It ranged from $20 to $60 a t on and we had no way of knowing." The system has changed a little, so producers know what the buy back cost would be. "The cost for organic wheat to buy it back is ab out $6.16 a t on. Over those years, I s pent a l ot of money that was more than

$6.16 a t on and the CWB kept saying there was value in that by pooling," said Steve. "I was talking to CWB's vice-president (Gord Flaten) of marketing and sales at the meeting and he admitted we never did detract value. A bushel of organic wheat, whether it is from Canada, the Untied States or Argentina, is displaced by a c onventional bushel of wheat." Steve feels the CWB wielded a lot of power without being flexible in accommodating smaller producers. That also showed at the local meeting. "There was no balance at the meeting. Usually, when I have gone to a CWB meeting in the past, you have someone speaking for the open market system and people can learn both sides. Here, I tried to respond to a direct question from the floor and was called down. Not allowing me to respond to a direct question, really did them a lot of good. I thought that was poorly balanced." Part of the Conservative

platform in the last election was to eliminate the CWB single desk system. The majority of Western Canadian farmers supported the party and the current government. "The CWB talked about losing democracy if it lost the single desk system. The government appoints five members to the CWB and it consists of 15 members. To hold a ma jority, you need eight votes. If you want farmer control, you need eight out of the 10 elected members to have a say. To me, that's not a democracy." T he CWB maintains it is not a c ompany, but Steve says the board spent $65 million of farmers' money to buy two ships. "This was not brought up at the meeting, but is burning in the minds of people who even support the CWB. It wasn't within their mandate and it shows reckless abuse of power. They are not supposed to invest people's money; they are to return it to farmers."

Jeff Nelson, the local CWB director, disclosed that 37 per cent of members, according to an internal poll, don't support marketing of barley to the CWB. "Now they have done a double standard by asking for a p lebiscite," said Steve. Farmers are not opposed to paying a f ee to pool the products for international sales. "It is not the fees that people are opposed to, it is the lack of transparency as to what those fees are. The wheat board is selling billions worth of products. The mandate is t o sell grain with the maximum amount of return to the farmers. Its job is to move grain off the prairie provinces. What failed to come forward at the meeting is that the Ontario Wheat Board offers a choice and in that environment, say what they need and then go about filling those orders. The farmers have a choice of picking up those contracts or not. It has been very successful. Continued on page 15

Distracted driving law takes effect Sept. 1 Albertans are reminded that our province’s new distracted driving law will come into effect September 1. Under the new law, drivers will be prohibited from talking, texting or emailing on a hand-held cellphone, using hand-held radio

communication devices, using other electronic devices, reading, writing or personal grooming while behind the wheel. “Alberta’s new distracted driving law is a good addition to our overall strategy to keep Albertans safer while on the road,” said

Minister of Transportation Luke Ouellette. “We want all drivers to practice safe driving habits to ensure we all return home safely at the end of each day.” Drivers who break the law will be fined $172. They can face additional charges if they

commit other traffic violations such as running a re d light or making an improper lane change. Drivers can also be charged under the existing driving without due care and attention law, a m ore serious offence with a fine of $402 and six demerit points.

Signs informing drivers of Alberta’s distracted driving law will be posted at major entrances to Alberta and along major provincial highways at exits from municipalities and at other high traffic volume locations.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Safety or risk? News that the Kodiaks’ first hockey game of the new season will happen next week plus two other recent news items were catalysts that precipitated this week’s column. One was the extremely disappointing news that promising young hockey great, Sidney Crosby, may not yet be ready to play in the upcoming season. The second was the report of the Junior A Supplement Pilot Project after the first year of its two-year trial. In early January of this year, the hockey world was shocked when Crosby suffered concussions in consecutive games and hasn’t played since. Today hockey fans may have cause to fear that it will never be safe for him to play again and risk getting another blow to the head which could be fatal. However, some good may be coming out of those fateful incidents involving the Pittsburg Penguins' captain Crosby. Immediately following those brutal events, the influential former hockey great and Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux said, “We, as a league, must do a better job of protecting the integrity of the game and safety of our players. We must make it clear that those kinds of actions will not be tolerated and will be met with meaningful disciplinary action.” League disciplinarian Colin Campbell had strong words, too, saying, “The message should be clear to all players targeting the head of an opponent by any means will be dealt with by suspensions. The team must bear some responsibility for failure to control their players.” It is to be hoped that that determination will be sustained – but, make no mistake, it will take much public support. The Junior A S upplement Pilot Project was initiated jointly, prior to the 2010-11 hockey season, by Hockey Canada and the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) which has five members, one of which is the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL). The objective is t o eliminate excessive violence and bullying in junior league hockey. The just-released report indicates an encouraging degree of success. During the first year of testing the pilot project, penalties increased dramatically for checking from behind, blows to the head and game misconducts. The result was a significant reduction in the number of instigator infractions, the number of fights and, most amazingly, the number of players who participated in six or more fights dwindled from 44 to only six. CJHL chairman Kirk Lamb was pleased to note that the Junior A Supplement Pilot Project has set new standards of player safety, not only for junior hockey but for hockey at all levels including the National Hockey League (NHL). An unexpected bonus benefit was the increased competitiveness within the CJHL during the past year, according to Commissioner Kim Davis of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), who reported that quality of play and skill ... was the best the league has seen in the past ten years. Let us hope that the second year of the Junior A Supplement Pilot Project to eliminate on-ice violence and bullying will continue to have beneficial results. Preventing concussions in junior-aged players is especially critical because the incidence of concussion is higher among children, concussions are harder to detect, symptoms last longer and have the potential to affect cognitive development. However, it is likely that elimination of excessive violence, with or without intent to harm, must also occur at the professional level because, as long as the pros fight and are generally seen as multimillionaire heroes, the junior players will emulate them, and almost always with the blessing of parents even if they are apprehensive about their youngsters’ safety. It's good news that an increasing amount of concern about safety at all levels of hockey is being expressed by officials on the top rungs of influence, coaches, players, and parents of players. In the end, though, the greatest impact for change will come when the majority of spectators prefer watching the amazing physical and mental skills of our hockey athletes rather than bloody assaults that would call for punishment in any circumstances other than playing hockey. What is your choice – safety of our young athletes or the alternative risks?

Stroke survivors entering corn maze By Murray Green

The Camrose and Area Stroke Recovery Association is going on a road trip. The stroke survivors' organization will be meeting at 11:30 a.m. at the Camrose Fire Hall to arrange a car pool to attend the corn maze on Thursday, September 8. "Come out and meet people

of any age who are stroke survivors, just like you," said Sandra McLay, on behalf of the association. "Bring a ba g lunch for the meeting." The group meets monthly on the second Thursday of each month. The meetings will highlight recreational activities, educational speakers and are also a time for socializing.

The Camrose chapter was started by Heather Hillis of Alberta Health Services and Sandra to focus on the stroke victims and their caregivers. Volunteers don't have to take training to be a part of the group. Contact Sandra at mclay. sandra27@gmail.com or phone Heather Hillis at 780-679-2943.

In the early hours of August 22/2011, we as a nation lost a very important person to cancer. My heart goes out to Olivia and her family. I personally do know how it feels to lose someone very close to me to cancer. My mother passed away January 22/2004. She was 63 years old. Her life was cut short due to this awful disease.

I have been a Co nservative, federally, most of my life. I have always voted on the right side and never on the left. However, I do have a confession to make. There were many times over the past ten years that Jack's election speeches really moved me. For just a m oment, I w as tempted to go vote NDP. I would think to myself, "Boy that sure makes sense." J ack made the issues so p ersonal and so rea l to me. Who would not want a government who worked for working families and not for big business? Who would not want a government who would go against the bankers who are making the average Canadian subject to them? At that moment, my Conservative mind set would kick in and remind me of my Conservative values. I m ust have to confess that if I d id not have those Conservative values which were

installed by my very conservative family, I w ould have voted for Jack Layton many times over the past ten yours. I have always looked up to Jack as a p erson. J ack always fought for those who could not fight for their selves. Jack loved people and desired to serve people. I have had a chance to read Jack Layton's last written letter which he wrote on August 20/2011. H is last words in his last letter are those which I can agree with. T hose words are very touching and really do express a lot of my values that I do hold. "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. O ptimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and Optimistic. A nd we'll change the world." Lorne Vanderwoude Camrose

Understanding changes in healthcare – We all need to know what affects us! In many ways, it’s an exciting time to live in rural Alberta. You can see signs of a r ural renaissance everywhere. There are exciting new changes in Alberta Health and Wellness which affect us all, especially as the implementation of the New Alberta Health Action Plan gets underway. The new plan opens the way for more community participation, more self- directed responsibility for health and more understanding about what each of us can do to maintain health and prevent illness. If you haven’t read the new plan, please do so. You can pick it up at our MLA's office or find it here: HYPERLINK "http://www. health.alberta.ca/initiatives/5year-health-action-plan.html" \o "blocked::http://www.health. alberta.ca/initiatives/5-yearhealth-action-plan.html" \t "_blank" http://www.health. alberta.ca/initiatives/5-yearhealth-action-plan.html The new health plan calls for progress in areas such as quicker access to cataract surgery and treatment, and to making more and better health options available to seniors. Part of these options concern accommodation and the cost of care. These are both issues calling attention to the Canada Health Act and its commitment to health care that is accessible, affordable, universal, portable and public – for all Canadians. Many seniors in rural Alberta know well that accessibility to cataract surgery is difficult when they need it. Many have to drive long distances for such surgery and pay a lot for related things such as gas, accommodation, and return visits. For seniors in their 60s the long travel may not be such a problem, but for those who no longer drive it can be a g reat problem as well as a burden on family members and others. Further, there is still considerable discrepancy on wait times between rural areas and urban areas. It is reported to us this month (August 2011) that wait times are typically in the range of eight to twelve months in Wetaskiwin and about four months in Edmonton. On the matter of services options for seniors, those who are in care know well the difficulties of having to pay for more and more services out of their fixed incomes. Unknown to many of us, these realities impacting on seniors have happened where seniors are living and as the costs associated with continuing care have increased. Continued on page 13

Seniors' Chat Continued from page 12

It all started in 1994 with healthcare reform in Alberta. Things became even more problematic in 2003. At t hat time the Government of Alberta increased the charges for accommodation and meals for residents in nursing homes and hospitals. Noticing some curiosities and apparent inequities in the application of the Canada Health Act, a group of vigilant and concerned Albertans began to explore what was happening. Working with the Edmonton-based law firm Parlee-McLaws, the result of the efforts is something we all need to know about. The result of investigation into matters concerning charges for seniors is a cla ss action suit claim of $128,000,000. As we understand it, all causes of action include claims by the living and the dead (back to 2003) who have been affected (except for the Discrimination Claim which applies to the living only). The Supreme Court of Canada has recently found the following causes of action against the Crown and under the Charter: unjust enrichment; ultra Vires action (“beyond the power of”); discrimination under the Charter; cause breach of duty of care (tort liability); unjust enrichment; breach of duty of care (tort liability); breach of contract; discrimination under the Charter. From the Supreme Court ruling it appears that patients in long term care in Alberta are paying for their own health care at a time when health care for Albertans and Canadians is supposed to be free. This needs to be explored further. More information is needed. These are complicated issues. One of the most important things we can do is to self educate and help others become aware of these situations. We have studied hard, we have learned a lot about these serious matters affecting many seniors. We have decided to host a special information session about these matters in October. Please stay posted for more information.

Looking for a p lace to have fun? Come and join us! We hold our dances on the first Saturday of each month of the year at the Mirror Lake Centre, 5415-49 Street, Camrose. The hall has a b eautiful hardwood floor and is more than ample to hold our large crowds. The dances are open to everyone 18 years of age and over, married or single. The dance club became an open dance in August, 2009. The executive consists of Lawrence Naker, president; Elmer Jans, vice president; Ioan Jober, treasurer; and Evelyn Anderson, secretary. There are six directors and four members at large. Once you experience these dances you find that it is amazing how many new friends and acquaintances you meet, and look forward to seeing them again and again. We have only live bands at our dances and they all play really amazing old time music. If you don't know how to dance, there is likely someone there to teach you how. If you haven't danced for years, it will all come back to you as soon as you try a f ew times. If you don't dance at all, you can listen to the great music and visit with friends and soon you will find yourself tapping your toes. The dances start at 8 p .m. and go until midnight. The doors are open at 7:00 and lunch is served at 10:30. The admission is $10 for members and $12 for non members.

Wheat board

Continued from page 6

By pooling wheat or barley, the prices average out and it is a fair system for all producers. "By averaging, it takes a w hile for the orders to be finalized and for farmers to receive payment. Sadly, farmers have had to build their financing around that. You have to plan cash flows around the payments, with the uncertainty of what that final amount will be," said Steve. "It hasn't been wheat or barley that has kept grain growing sustainable. It has been canola. We wouldn't have small farms out there right now if it wasn't for canola sales. It runs on an open market system, and the price fluctuates quite wildly at times, but it has been profitable." The CWB talked about disbanding if it is removed as the single desk system. "They have the opportunity to change, but might not be willing to do so. Pooling and marketing are all about averaging and spreading sales out over three month periods. We can all do that. The CWB has built up a lot of marketing options and there is n o arguing that. I said to the CWB members after the meeting, "If the CWB is n ot willing to sit down and put forth a plan how to evolve yourself, then you have really defeated yourself. If they are not positive, or have a p ositive attitude, then this is a oneway ticket." The CWB has mailed ballots to 68,000 farmers across the prairies asking whether they want to maintain CWB, or to sell through commercial traders. "I didn't receive a ballot because I haven't had a permit book in two years," said Steve. "A speaker said you can apply to receive one if you have shipped in the last five years. Then why wasn't one sent in the first place? The CWB could have made this plebiscite simple." The results of the plebiscite are due on September 9. The CWB negotiates 4,000 sales contracts to 300 customers in about 70 countries each year. CWB fills the market demand when the grain prices rise. "The CWB want to deal in high volumes so t he small markets are ignored. Even Australia has solutions for small markets," said Steve. He feels the large companies will still serve Canadian farmers. "The reality today is that you need a large company to survive. People think the CWB is the defender against big companies. The CWB has always worked with them. In an open market system, people will have to deal with large companies and learn how to market themselves. It's not all bad. O ver the years, we have lost that sense of community without local elevators and schools and that is t he sad part. I f ully believe we will see higher prices on the open market." The federal government wants to introduce legislation this fall to end the monopoly by August 2012.

Augustana choir: a Hungarian music experience The 2011/2012 academic year will move the Augustana choir and their audiences in an eastward musical direction. Between September and May, Camrosians will have a number of opportunities to experience vocal, choral, and instrumental music drawn from the rich cultural life found in the culturally cosmopolitan and agriculturally fertile eastern European country of Hungary. The birthplace of renowned composers, performers, and influential music educators, Hungary is h ome to internationally acclaimed music schools, conservatories, the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music, and the Kodály Zoltán Pedagogical Institute of Music. With a l ongstanding tradition for excellence in music performance, composi-

tion, music education, and ethnomusicology, musicians from all over the world flock to Hungary to study. The Augustana choir has been invited by the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest, The Kodály Zoltán Pedagogical Institute in Kecskemét, the Cantemus Choral Institute in Níregyháza, the Györ Philharmonic Choir in Györ, and the University of Debrecen in eastern Hungary to present Canadian choral works in performance and workshop format at universities, music conservatories, and specialist Kodály music schools. The Augustana choir will also study and perform Hungarian, and Hungarian-inspired a c appella and accompanied choral music, featuring works by Béla

Bartók, Lajos Bárdos, Johannes Brahms, Pal Esterházy, László Halmos, Franz Joseph Haydn, György Ligeti, Zoltán Kodály, Ferenc Liszt, and György Orbán. During this international tour, the Augustana choir will perform with the Chamber Choir and the Philharmonic Orchestra in Györ, and with Cantus Nobilis, a chamber choir in Kecskemét. The international tour will begin with a t wo-day rehearsal residency in Pómaz – a re treat venue organized by KOTA, the Hungarian national choral organization akin to The Alberta Choral Federation. During the retreat and the performance and study tour to follow, renowned Hungarian choral conductors Dr. Peter Erdei, professors Judit Hartyányi, Éva Kollár, Katalin

Kiss, Csaba Kutnyanski, and Dr. László Nemes (all from the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music) will provide insights into Hungarian choral repertoire, performance practice, interpretation, and standard pedagogical philosophy for Hungarian music education. This study and performance project will introduce Hungarian choral music educators to the rich bounty of Canadian choral music. Augustana choristers and recent choral alumni will also learn of the important international contribution that Hungarians have made to quality music education in the 20th century, particularly through the seminal work of Hungarian composer, educator, ethnomusicologist, linguist, and philosopher, Zoltán Kodály.

Domestic abuse not being recognized By Murray Green

Millions of people fall victim to domestic abuse each year, which is a g rowing concern in North America. As a re sult, the domestic abuse movement has made many resources available to women and children in need of help from abusive relationships, but there are very few places or resources for men. "When I v isited a c ity shelter for battered women, they insisted they would not accept a man for the sake of the women staying within the shelter. In fact, other than a f ew counselling or support groups, there are no places for men to physically go when they are being abused," said Camrose resident Heather Daniels. Studies conducted by the Family Research Laboratory say that evidence shows, the number of abused wives is decreasing, while the number of abused husbands is increasing. "Everyone is very familiar with spousal abuse. There are several resources and education is g iven to people on battered wives, but it is rare that we hear about it from men. This isn't because there are fewer cases, but because many men do not want to report the abuse," added Heather. Statistics Canada reports, when concerning differences in rates of spousal violence for women and men, it was found that between 1999 and 2004 there was no significant change in the level of spousal violence against men (seven per cent to six per cent), while for women there was a slight statistically significant decline from eight per cent to seven per cent. These figures represent an estimated 653,000 women and 546,000 men who are either physically or sexually victimized by their current or previous intimate partners. "A friend of mine who has been in an abusive relationship for many years was arrested after trying to restrain his girlfriend during an altercation in which she responded violently towards him. He used a common form of self defense to defend himself and restrain her, but went to jail with the charge of assault, while she walked away with no prosecution," said Heather. "After this altercation, an article based on

choking and strangulation came out in one of the local papers. In this article, a nurse described this situation in her own words. Her so c alled 'facts' touch only one side of this story and fail to mention that this nurse happens to work side by side with the girlfriend in this situation and that it was him who sustained injury." In fact, over 23 per cent of the domestic assault cases reported in Canada by men, end with the man being prosecuted. "No wonder lots of men do not report domestic violence. It seems that when a woman is assaulted by a man, she is allowed to do whatever is necessary to defend herself, kick, punch or choke. Whereas if a man who was being assaulted by a w oman tried any one of these defensive techniques, he would be tried and charged," said Heather. These techniques of choke holds, jabs and kicks are taught to our police officers, security agencies and through many self defense classes in and around the city as a form of defence and restraint. "Personally, I think it is odd that police officers, security guards and women are able to use these methods of defence and restraint, but the average man trying to defend himself cannot," Heather continued. "When I contacted a l ocal psychologist and asked what she thought, she told me, "If you say women are violent it goes against the social acceptance and challenges notions of femininity (women are caring and nurturing), but if women say men are violent, it is moving with the flow of society's acceptance of masculinity (men are aggressive beasts)." She also said, "Of course men won't come forward. Society has accepted that they are the aggressive ones and that's funny because look at how many wonderful stay-at-home dads there are out there." Another psychologist mentioned to Heather that there is a problem within this domestic violence and abuse movement. "It has become more of a feminist political movement. It reminds me of some religious group that raises money to help starving children, then uses the money, not only to help those kids, but also to indoctrinate the culture

with its particular religious beliefs." Many men in these types of relationships won't come forward because they automatically assume that no one will believe them. "To be completely frank, most people won't. It's like trying to make some people understand that not every pit bull out there is mean and vicious. People are stuck to old beliefs and ideas." Another problem that a l ot of men face with coming forward with abuse, is the perception that has been instilled into society. "Actually there are several cartoons and jokes I've come across relating to a m an who is b eing beaten by his wife," said Heather. "Could you imagine being witness to a cartoon joking about an abused woman? I'm sure it would raise a lot of controversy, but with men who suffer abuse, it is a joke, and a long standing one at that." In post renaissance France, society ridiculed husbands and made them suffer through humiliation if they were even thought to have been battered by their wives. "They would actually be forced to ride backwards on a donkey, holding its tail and were paraded through town. Today, if a man is beaten by a woman, he is called a w imp and naturally would want to try to hide it from people. "So what are these men supposed to do? For women, there are several shelters available that will help them out of the relationship and into safety immediately, complete with financial aid and counselling, but the best that is given to men is t he counselling or support groups to talk to," said Heather. "There is no safe place for men, no accepted defense techniques. They run the risk of being prosecuted themselves, have their situation made into a joke, or worse, be one of the unlucky ones who just don't make it through." Women can be just as violent and abusive as men and each of us, man or woman, has the right to speak out, the right to defend our lives, and the right not to suffer through any kind of abuse. Everyone deserves help. Contact the Family Violence Action Society for more information on receiving help.

Paul Jefferson and Lisa Brokop met for the first time at a Starbucks in Nashville. A couple hundred coffees... and a few years later - they were married. In the years that followed that initial meeting in the coffee shop, they never once contemplated combining their musical talents. As a solo act you get used to carrying the load and being the person alone out in front. Then one night during a concert Lisa was giving, Paul joined her onstage for a special onesong duet. The crowd went wild. And The Jeffersons were born.

FOOT PROBLEMS? I can help!

Plantars Fasciitis Do you wake up in the morning and find that the first few steps you take are extremely painful on the bottom of your feet? Also marked by burning sensation in the base of the foot throughout the day, Plantars Fasciitis is one of our most limiting types of foot pain. Cause: Dropping of the foot arch causes pressure on the Plantar Fascial ligament on the base of the foot. The bone structures start to press in an abnormal fashion on the ligament causing the ligament to tear, either from the heel bone or the metatarsal joint heads. Prognosis: If it goes untreated for a long period of time, Plantars Fasciitis can become more painful when the body tries to protect itself by placing calcium deposits in the ligament tissue to repair the tears, causing you to have heel spurs. Treatment: Plantars Fasciitis can be treated successfully with the use of a properly fitted orthotic to support the heel and base of the foot. Very often icing and stretching exercises will be prescribed as well. If properly treated the symptoms and pain of Plantars Fasciitis should be gone in a few days. The tears take six to ten weeks to begin to heal, then the rest is up to your body, footwear, and diligence of caring for your feet. You are welcome to a free foot assessment at Total Orthotics to help you to determine the best course of action for your foot health. Call for a free foot assessment

You'll probably be excused if you don't recognize Peavey Mart employees Cecilia Lawrence or Walter Johnson after September 30. Lawrence has agreed to get a Mohawk haircut and Johnson has agreed to shave his beard if the two of them together can come up with $5,000 for the Wild Pink Yonder's Trail Ride for Breast Cancer Research fundraiser. Lawrence will dye her hair pink if she is able to raise $1,000, while Johnson will reduce his beard to a handlebar mustache if he can raise $2,500. "The store was asking for volunteers at the store and I put up my hand," said Lawrence. The change could be a little difficult for Johnson. "He has been wearing his beard for around 40 years,," said Lawrence. Peavey Mart has supported the Wild Pink Yonder Trail Ride for Breast Cancer Research since the ride started three years ago. The store has agreed this year to match everything Lawrence and Johnson raise up to a maximum total of $5,000. Lawrence and Johnson started collecting their pledges at a Wild Pink Yonder barbecue in front of the Camrose Peavey Mart August 13. They feel they should be able to reach their $5,000 goal as more people in the community become aware of what they are doing. "It's a really good cause that we are working towards," said Lawrence. "I wanted to do my

at PetsGo Pets Cecilia Lawrence and Walter Johnson have agreed to lose their hair if they can raise $5,000 for cancer research before the end of September.

"It's a really good cause that we are working towards. I wanted to do my part since both my grandmother and my aunt were claimed by cancer." part since both my grandmother and my aunt were claimed by cancer." Johnson will be doing his beard shave in memory of Stacey Mackowosky, who recently passed away with cancer. Wild Pink Yonder is a notfor-profit society that started when an entourage of riders took big pink covered wagons on a wild (and pink) adventure throughout Alberta. With treks of 400 miles and 325 miles respectively, it was (and is) committed to riding breast cancer into the ground. Towns along the trail ride are challenged to see which can, quite literally, be the pinkest and raise the most

money per capita for breast cancer research. Each r ide takes just over three weeks, averaging about 125 miles per day. In 2010, 2,100 women in Alberta were diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout Canada in 2010, 23,200 women and 180 men were diagnosed with breast cancer. Of those, 5,300 women died and 50 men died. More information about the head/beard shave and Wild Pink Yonder's Trail Ride for Breast Cancer Research may be obtained by contacting Lawrence at Peavey Mart (780672-5116) or at home (780-8783325).

Master Your Money

The School Principal Who $ Quit His 100,000 Job A true story of three unlikely underdogs who mastered the money game Have you ever felt an uncomfortable silence when someone starts getting too personal about money? Why is that? I fi nd it odd that people share their most intimate details with friends and str angers on Facebook, yet completely clam up when the subject of money comes up. Like it or not, money is what mak es our society click. Canadians enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in the world, and money is a big part of the reason why. My name is Darren Weeks, and I am one of the fortunate few who LOVES to talk about money. More specifically, I love to talk about the fundamentals that help people create and protect their wealth. I was born and raised in Edmonton, earned a University degree and learned it doesn’t mak e you wealthy. You need to study money in order to become rich. Come to this FREE event and learn two things: how to save taxes and get better returns on your investments. Real independence comes when you learn how to make money work for you. Money knowledge needs to be at your side at all times ... like a trusted friend who does nice things for you on a regular basis. My company, The Fast Track Group, was just r anked 40th Fastest Growing Company in Canada by Profit Magazine for 2011. In nine years, I have taken it from five employees to over 100. I have helped 50,500 Canadians save $898 MILLION in taxes alone in the past nine years . Those who I helped have also donated $1.6 billion to charity in this same time. My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy. The Principal, the Welder and the Protege They each came to me at different times for unique needs in creating, growing and protecting their money. The Principal: Rick Seutter grew up a hard-working boy on a dairy farm. Rather than dreaming of his son taking over the farm, Rick’s dad encouraged him to go to school and aim for a good solid career. Being a good son, Rick did just that. He fi nished high school, went on to get his Bachelors degree , and become a school teacher – the perfect ‘secure’ career as many would lik e to think. Rick spent 22 years in the education system as a high school teacher and then as a principal. As the years went on, Rick started to see the cr acks in the tr aditional school => career => retirement plan that everyone w as so convinced on. Note one thing about the education system... ...the lack of focus on money, investing, leverage and business. ... Which explains why Rick soon became so frustrated with this ultimate lifestyle his father told him to pursue. The pension plan offered to teachers and principals was hardly enough to live a life of relative freedom. Rick started reading about the Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad philosophy and ultimately discovered my events in Canada. One thing led to another and Rick ended up investing in real estate and starting a few businesses on the side while maintaining his job as a principal. Now Rick and his wife oper ate a very successful real estate investing company and Rick has entered into an

The Welder: Rob Chaulk came to one of my events in the spring of 2008. He grew up in a family with a poor dad and a rich dad (his uncle). So Rob had been given a good start on his money education. But it w asn’t enough. Rob Chaulk was a blue collar worker who knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He held careers as an ironworker, a welder, a heavy equipment oper ator and a crane operator. He dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. When Rob read the Rich Dad book, he took it seriously and, within 30 days , he bought his fi rst rental property. He was hooked. He put together a plan for 10 properties in 10 years ...his key to retirement. Right around this same time, he had lunch with his rich dad (his multi-millionaire uncle). Not exactly an easy guy to talk to , his uncle “Frank” was self-made and not easy to approach about money. But Rob did approach him – and F rank told him how stupid he was being and how little he still understood about money and leverage. Frank then went on and shared with Rob one of the greatest lessons he had ever learned. Money is ALL about leverage. When your money makes more money for you than your job does ... then you are well on your way to financial freedom. If you make $20 an hour at your job – true financial independence begins when the money you invest is making you $25 an hour without you having to do anything more. Frank showed him how to turn his rental property into 10 properties in just 12 months . Rob then came to a Get Rich event, hosted by myself , and w as able to create a $4 million property portfolio in just 24 months. As Rob says, “Money is just the scorecard. When you understand the rules of the game – and how the game works – the money will find you!” While he was building his portfolio of properties , Rob also took his health very seriously . Rob w as overweight, had high blood pressure, sleep apnea and was sluggish every waking hour. After dropping over 100 pounds, Rob found a new lifestyle that had been long lost, and a money mindset that continues to help him and his family with all of the retirement and dreams. The Protege: Sam Ammar grew up in a very unusual family and location. Sam’s dad moved to Canada speaking very little English, had a grade eight educa-

Note one thing about the education system... ...the lack of focus on money, investing, leverage and business. agreement with the Fast Track Group to share his own strategies and formulas for getting rich in uncertain economies. As Rick says: “I am just an Average Everyday Canadian who educated myself on the right kind of money mindset that creates ﬁnancial independence, and took massive action to mak e it a reality . I am VERY concerned about all the people who will be at retirement age in the next 10 years , yet have nothing saved for their retirement. Learning about money from those who have made lots of it was the greatest investment I ever made in myself ... and it’s now my turn to pass that knowledge and experience on.”

tion, and just a few dollars saved to start his new life. Sam’s father ended up starting a janitorial business which then opened the doors to investing in a hotel, which his mother helped run.They were quick to leverage the janitorial business and hotel into a portfolio of businesses that now includes a laundromat, a liquor store, a fencing company, commercial real estate investments, and a number of residential real estate companies. One of Sam’s interests w as the real estate side and Sam was able to take their two residential properties and quickly leverage them into 18 properties. The real

Prairie farmers want voluntary price pooling

780-672-7474 Grand Park Plaza 6022-48 Avenue, Camrose

Dale Bowal 780-672-7942

Submitted by FarmLink

As the camps on the two extremes step up their efforts to either stop or rush the government’s plan to end the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) monopoly, many farmers are wondering what if any continuity they might see in the 2012-13 crop year. Especially considering that winter wheat is set to be planted in many areas in just weeks from now, grain producers need some answers quickly regarding future pricing opportunities and market structure. It would give many farmers some comfort to know that vailable as a risk management tool for marketing their board grains in the future. The grain industry needs to become vocal and creative in discussing with farmers the contracting and valuation parameters of a v oluntary pooled cash grain contract. Based on our discussions with producers, and FarmLink’s own risk management protocols, we estimate that 20 to 40 per cent of the wheat, durum and malt barley crops would be offered to a w elldesigned voluntary pricing pool in any given year. Market conditions and farm-specific financial issues obviously come first in determining how producers make the decision to sell grain, but there will be plenty of cases where a voluntary pool would be an appropriate and attractive method for managing crop price risk. If the CWB could establish value related to end-use buyer relationships and competitive logistic, it would seem to be the best for all parties that they offer the voluntary grain pricing pool. But if the Board continues to steadfastly refuse to consider it, we’d like to see someone else step up because voluntary pooling could be a great risk management tool for producers, and a new marketing opportunity for the trade. Minister Ritz has indicated that short-term funding is available for work related to transitioning to an open market. The fact that new futures contracts are currently being designed by the Winnipeg grain trade for wheat, durum and barley makes it especially timely that the whole industry collaborate now in creating viable new marketing tools for the future. In the past few years the CWB has taken some solid steps forward in developing new contracts, improving industry relations, and understanding the price risk related to pooling grain. Given the staff’s passion and the organization’s history, successful voluntary pooling should be an easy next step. It hasn’t been built yet, but all the pieces are in place for a voluntary cash grain pooling contract to work – farmer loyalty, deep knowledge of managing price signals and risk related to pooling, strong relationships with end users and established grain contracting parameters. If the CWB and other buyers of western Canadian wheat and barley want to earn producers’ business for the future, building a successful voluntary pool is something that can be done right now. It will move the debate forward in a productive new direction, and reduce the stress related to the uncertainty about future marketing options for board grains.

The Camrose Cygnets Synchronized Swim Club held a swim-a-thon in April as a club fund-raiser. The girls cumulatively swam 9.25 kms, which is the distance from Camrose to Legacy Ohaton. Pictured are: (front, left to right) Olivia Willes, Tsebaot Klein, Charlotte Thiessen, Taryn Watson, Julie Snider, Kamryn Uglem, Alana Moores, (second row, left to right) Kyra Prevost, Jordyn Fifield, Halee Klein, Megan Uglem, Kallista Ashton, and Jenna Worton.

Think swim and dance. That about summarizes the Camrose Cygnets Synchronized Swim Club, which will begin another year Sept. 24. "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 five to eight, and Recreational, which is f or 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 y ear 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 have been coached the last four years by Karli Stordahl, a f irst-year university student. "She swam competitively with the Camrose Cygnets before she turned coach," said Uglem.

The Camrose Cygnets perform two shows a y ear, one at Christmas and one as a f inal wrap-up to the year. They also do one or two fund-raisers to defray club expenses. A sw imathon in April raised over $700 when swimmers swam a n umber of laps equalling the total distance between Camrose and Ohaton. The Camrose Cygnets Synchronized Swim Club will be taking registrations at Community Registration Night September 7 (at the Camrose Community Centre, from 6:30 to 9:00). More information about the Camrose Synchronized Swim Club may be obtained by calling Uglem at 780-373-3743.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER August 30, 2011

Citizen satisfaction survey produces interesting results By Dan Jensen

Camrose roads and infrastructure, snow removal, curbside recycling, and expanded infrastructure need to take priority over the Camrose Performing Arts Centre or new trails. That was one of the revelations of a s urvey of 300 Camrose residents conducted by the research company Ipsos Reid in the latter part of May and early part of June. "It is a s urprise I g uess because I t hought that the Performing Arts Centre would be one of the top priorities," said City councillor Gerry Galenza during discussion on the survey at City council's Aug. 22 meeting. "Council has made a v ery large commitment on this." Thirty-three per cent of survey respondents ranked the Performing Arts Centre as being most important to them personally, compared to 43 per cent for an expanded Aquatic Centre and 72 per cent for roads and infrastructure renewal. Top of mind issues

The survey also showed that transportation was the most important issue for residents, followed by municipal government services, social issues, parks, recreation and culture, taxation/municipal government and spending, the economy, education, crime, health care, the environment and growth. Ninety-seven per cent of respondents rated the overall quality of life good or very good. Twenty per cent indicated that the quality of life had

improved over the past three years. Thirteen per cent said the quality of life had worsened for reasons that included crime, poor public transit, employment issues, or poor government. Ninety-three per cent said they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the overall level and quality of services. Recreation and cultural facilities ranked highest on their list with an 87 per cent very satisfied or somewhat satisfied rating. Eighty per cent said they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with public works, including road maintenance, drinking water quality and sewers. Seventy-seven per cent said they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the Camrose Public Library. Value for taxes

Seventy-nine per cent of survey respondents said they were receiving very good value or fairly good value for their tax dollars, compared to eighteen per cent who felt that they were getting fairly poor value or very poor value. Nineteen per cent said they would agree to the City increasing taxes to enhance or expand services, while 27 per cent said they would agree to an increase in taxes to maintain services at the current levels. Thirty eight per cent said they would agree with the City cutting services to maintain the current tax level or to reduce taxes.

"I think we have to be cautious because I think our citizens, through this survey, are telling us we have to be careful with our taxation rates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; t hat we are on the high side there," said councillor Max Lindstrand. Councillor John Howard said the survey tells him that the citizens of Camrose understand the balancing act that has to go o n with taxes and services. "If you look at the percentages they understand that it is one or the other and they are pretty well equally divided. It sounds a little bit like the debates we have around this table." Local government

Eighty-three per cent said they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the municipal government, including council and administration as a whole. Seventy-seven per cent they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with administration, excluding council, while seventyfive per cent said they were very satisfied or so mewhat satisfied with council, excluding administration. Only sixty-six per cent felt that the City of Camrose practiced open and accessible government. That compares to surveys undertaken by Ipsos Reid in other communities, where, on average, seventy-seven per cent of respondents felt their municipality practiced open and accessible government. Sixty per cent said the City of Camrose always takes residents'

views into consideration when making decisions that affect them." Howard said he was happy to see that Camrose had a higher percentage of survey respondents who were satisfied with the services being offered than most other communities. Lindstrand said comparing the norms from other communities is a step in the right direction towards improving the citizens' perception of the City of Camrose governance model. Infrastructure

Fifty-eight per cent of survey respondents said the City of Camrose or municipality was the most responsible for the health of infrastructure in the community, followed by the provincial government at thirty-two per cent and the federal government at four per cent. Ninety-two per cent said the City of Camrose is doing a very good job or somewhat good job of managing recreational facilities such as public pools and ice rinks. Ninety per cent said the City is doing a very good job or somewhat good job of managing the water treatment facilities, while eighty-six per cent said the City is doing a very good job or somewhat good job of managing the sewer treatment facilities. Seventy-five per cent said the City is d oing a v ery good job or somewhat good job of managing the roads. Roads were ranked as the top infrastructure priority, followed by local public transit sys-

tems, water treatment facilities, recreation facilities such as public pools and ice rinks, and sewage treatment facilities. Level of information

Fifty-six per cent of survey respondents said they are getting just the right amount of information from the City of Camrose, compared to forty per cent who said they were getting too little. Preferred communication channels were newspaper at 48 per cent, mail and mailings at 17 per cent, internet/online/website at 15 per cent, and email at 12 per cent. Beneficial

Howard said there is a l ot City council can draw from the survey that will contribute to future strategic planning. "Certainly there are probably some comments in here that need to come forward again at budget time." City manager Damian Herle said the City of Camrose would receive added value if it had the surveys conducted on more of a regular basis. "Then we could develop our own database of the statistical information." Forty per cent of the 300 survey respondents were male and 54 per cent were female. Sixty- five per cent indicate they had no children, while sixty-six per cent said they owned their own property. Thirty-nine per cent indicated they had lived in Camrose for one to ten years. Thirty-three per cent said they had lived in Camrose for more than 20 years.

CLBI ready to begin another exciting year By Dan Jensen

It's shaping up to be another exciting year at Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute. "We have another terrific group of students who are coming," said CLBI president Harold Rust last week. Total student enrolment, as of August 25, was 62. "Seventy is a number we always aim for," said Rust. "We find it an ideal total for the facilities that we are able to offer." While most of the students will be from the four western provinces, there will also be some from the United States and Switzerland. CLBI's opening convocation will be held at Grace Lutheran Church Sept. 3, s tarting at 7 p.m. Orientation The students will spend a few days in orientation before embarking Sept. 8 o n a t hreeday outdoor education program that is designed to stretch them both in a physical and spiritual sense. "It helps to build a sense of community and trust amongst the students," said CLBI director of admissions Darby Murphy. "The program forces them to rely on God and his provisions." Most of the leadership for CLBI's outdoor program is provided by second-year students. "The role of the second year students is to be servant leaders to the first years," said Murphy.

Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute will be holding its opening convocation at Grace Lutheran Church Sept. 3, starting at 7 p.m.

Foundations CLBI will again be offering Foundations in the fall semester, a program directed by Greg Rokos that will give eight male students the chance to take classes on discipleship in a rustic outdoor setting at Mountain Valley Ranch and Wilderness Ranch Camp, near Pincher Creek. "The classrooms, for the most part, are in the kitchen or living room of a log home," said Rust. "They will have the chance to address their struggles and develop their character."

Second year students will have the opportunity to spend the month of January on mission assignments in South America and Asia. "They will be working in teams of three or four, doing everything from construction work and street evangelism to teaching English," said Rust. Students who have been involved in the cross cultural program in the past have returned to their homes with a greater sense of compassion for the poor and underprivileged. "Seeing first-hand how Christ is l ived out i n differ-

ent cultures is a v ital aspect of exploring our faith," said former student Neil Kroeger, who went to Sri Lanka. "It was revealed to me the breadth of life outside of my Christian experiences in Canada. As followers of Christ we are called out and sent out." Discipleship CLBI's one-year discipleship certificate program offers 33 credits in the areas of biblical studies, Christian living, church history, biblical and doctrinal theology, mission and communication, and practical ministries. According to the CLBI catalogue, many students attend the one-year discipleship program to gain a biblical foundation for life and then continue on to other university or career studies. "For many students, the one-year program assists them in determining God's direction for life," it states. "Great benefits are gained by living in a Christian community and the wide array of experiences in which students have an opportunity to take part." The two-year Christian leadership diploma program provides instruction in the areas of biblical studies, Christian living, church history, biblical and doctrinal theology, leadership, development, mission and communications, and practical ministries. "The focus of the secondyear program is on leadership," said Rust. "We give them every opportunity we can to try various

aspects of leadership experience: what it means to lead others through servanthood." Students take classes in oneweek modules that are taught by guest instructors. "Some of the weeks the students are all together with one instructor and some of the weeks they are divided into first and second years," said Murphy. CLBI students are encouraged to do community service and outreach. "We don't want them to be isolated," said Rust. "We want them to be involved and make their faith active. Give their faith a p ractical experience in the community." LOL event CLBI's first Live Out Loud (LOL) event in the community will be Sept. 30, starting at 7 p.m., at CLBI. "The events are for anyone from Grade 7 up to post-secondary," said Murphy. "They're just a time of worship, bible studies, fun and games, and food. "Our turnout last year for these events was between 80 and 120." The theme of the LOL event will be Behold Him. Fixings CLBI's returning students will be noticing a f ew changes this year. "We replaced the windows and floor coverings in the Hagen Hall (classroom and administration building), said Rust. "The carpet we had was here since 1974."

Buffaloes play in football jamboree By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes bantam and peewee squads played in the St. A lbert Football Jamboree on August 20 to prepare for the regular season. Bantam coach Carl Davidse kept some notes to work on prior to the start of the season. "Our defense was pretty consistent. It looks like they should be strong this year," said Carl. Our offense showed sparks, but needs to be a bit more consistent. We still managed to pick up positive yards on most plays."

The coaches were able to be on the field, which offers an upclose feel of what is happening on the field. "It's a great learning opportunity to play games, especially since coaches were on the field. Overall we had some good plays, just need to work on our consistency." Peewee Buffaloes

The peewees also experienced some positive play in St. Albert. "The highs would be the excellent defensive plays by Dorien Sikstrom, John Hunter, Brady Ryan and Quin Twomey," said coach James Kozak. "We need to work a

bit on offence, protecting our quarterback and running backs. The team should be very proud of its effort playing the two games with only two subs and no real break. I am very excited about our team this season." All three Camrose teams host on October 1 and 8 at Kin Park. The atom team plays at 11 a.m., the bantams start at 12:30 p.m. and the peewee squad begins at 3 p.m. The Spruce Grove Cougars and the St. A lbert Buccaneers provide the opposition.

Chevy Silverado HD Motortrend Truck of the Year

Pete Pastuck McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet By Dan Jensen

The Silverado HD delivers a hefty 11 per cent increase in highway fuel-efficiency (based on GM testing). At the same time, 0 t o 96 km/h acceleration times have improved.

The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. in Camrose represents nothing less than the reinvention of the heavy-duty pickup. "From new best-in-class power and hauling capabilities to an even stronger chassis and enhanced power control, the Silverado is setting a new benchmark in the industry," said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet dealer principal Will McClellan. "You can see why Motortrend magazine named it 2011 truck of the year." The Silverado heavy-duty lineup is broader than ever, with 11 2500HD models and eight single- and dual-rearwheel 3500HD models – including a new 3500 HD Crew Cab. The 2500HD and 3500HD models are distinguished by the power dome-style hood with a new louvred design, as well as a new grille and full-width chrome steel front bumper. A new lineup of 17-, 18- and 20-inch wheel/tire combinations is featured too. Stronger front suspension

The all-new frame provides a more rigid and durable platform for the truck, not only increasing strength but also ride quality. Large precision-forged control arms, in conjunction with the biggest steering gear ever in a Ch evrolet HD make the front suspension capable of handling much greater loads. The dual front jounce bumpers provide two load transfer paths to handle those loads. In addition, the steering knuckle is taller and 66 per cent heavier. In fact, the front suspension is so s trong that all 4x4 models can now be equipped with the available Snow Plow Prep Package. Even better, the torsion bar suspension ride height can be adjusted when you attach or remove the snow plow. A 20 per cent larger rear suspension helps handle bigger payloads. Wider leaf springs and an asymmetric design increase wind-up stiffness, to reduce axle-hop and to contribute to the higher Gross Axle Weight Ratings. New measures that help isolate and absorb bumps include redesigned hydraulic body mounts on Extended and Crew C ab models, larger engine and transmission mounts, a longer wheelbase and a wider track. 4x4

Silverado HD's four-wheel-drive system uses an automatic disconnect mechanism in the front axle to provide "shift-on-the-fly" convenience, as well as the fuel efficiency

Better control

gains associated with free-wheeling – without using locking hubs.

The added power and hauling capabilities of the 2011 Silverado HD are matched by beefed-up brake components and the latest in driver control technology. The front rotors are significantly larger – they are now a full 365 mm diameter. Control is now enhanced by the StabiliTrak system and Trailer Sway Control – standard on all single rear wheel 2500HD and 3500HD models. StabiliTrak compares your steering input with the truck's actual track, intervening automatically whenever it detects a loss of lateral traction (sideslip), understeer (plowing), or oversteer (fishtailing). It can return the truck to your intended driving line by incrementally applying an individual brake and, if necessary, by reducing engine torque. Hill Start Assist holds the truck stationery for about a second after you release the brake on a five per cent or greater incline, enabling you to begin to accelerate before the truck starts to roll backward.

The available re-engineered Duramax 6.6 litre V8 Turbo Diesel generates a colossal 397 horsepower and an earth-shaking 765 lb.-ft. of torque, outstripping all previous Chevrolet diesel trucks. As well as being the most powerful diesel engine Chevrolet has ever built, it is also the cleanest burning. This reflects Chevrolet's ongoing commitment to greener technologies across the l ineup. Key to this improvement is se lective catalytic reduction using Diesel Emissions Fluid downstream in the exhaust. It reduces the amount of harmful Nitrogen Oxide emissions by 63 per cent – representing the latest technology available. The standard Vortec 6.0 litre V8 engine is m ore capable than ever, with a fifth-wheel trailer towing rating of 6,668 kg – 13 per cent higher than before. The segment-exclusive Allison six-speed automatic transmission uses the same technology that is used in many medium-duty commercial truck applications, so it is engineered to take the abuse associated with enormous loads. It is engineered exclusively for higher torque demands and has specific gear ratios to maximize the performance of the Duramax diesel.

While the heavy lifting associated with the engineering of the new Silverado HD concentrated on the features that increased capabilities, the quality of the driver experience wasn't overlooked. The moment you enter the LTZ, its heated, leather appointed front bucket seats with power 10-way seat adjusters – a nd Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity – make that clear. All Silverado HD models feature the added safety, security and convenience of OnStar with Turn-byTurn Navigation. The touch-screen of the DVD-based navigation system radio performs double duty – it also is used to display the available rearview camera system, which enables you to see obstacles behind you when in reverse. Silverado HD LT and LTZ models offer oversize storage areas for those riding in the front row. The LT's lockable underseat storage area also has a 12-volt electrical outlet. You can see the new Chevy Silverado HD at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-7355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

New children's art tax credit offers help By Charlene Brown

Conservatory Administrator Augustana Music Conservatory The Augustana Conservatory of Music is excited about the CATC! W hat is t he CATC? A new initiative in the 2011 Federal Budget that allows parents, who believe that education and exposure to the arts is vital to their children’s development, to claim registration and other fees for such programs on their personal income tax. We who are involved in the teaching of the arts understand that, especially in today’s economic climate, paying for such

extracurricular activities can be very stressful on a family budget. So having the government create a new tax initiative that gives tax credit for these fees is exc iting news. The new CATC allows parents to claim eligible expenses, for up to $500 per child 16 and under per year beginning in the 2011 tax year. Eligible expenses are for prescribed programs of artistic, cultural, recreational or developmental activity. Eligible programs as described by the Revenue Canada web site will include an activity that “contrib-

utes to the development of creative skills or expertise in artistic or cultural activities ... Creative Skills or expertise involve a child’s ability to improve dexterity or coordination, or acquire and apply knowledge in the pursuit of artistic or cultural activity. Artistic and cultural activities include literary arts, visual arts, performing arts, music, media, languages, customs and heritage.” Eligible expenses are fees paid for registration or memberships. More detailed information is g iven on the Revenue Canada web site including

what receipt information must be included to claim. This imitative news is g reat timing as many parents are considering what their children’s activities will be for the upcoming school year right now. At t he Augustana Music Conservatory we have many ways in which to develop a child’s creative skills or expertise. Programs still available to register for are: private lessons in piano, guitar, flute, recorder, clarinet and saxophone; Music With Children, classes for ages three to eight; and Kindermusik, half-hour classes for child and

caregiver ages six to 18 months or 18 months to three years. We are especially excited about offering the Kindermusik Village classes this year for the first time. For ages six to 18 months, it is a great new opportunity for parents to learn how to explore music with their child. S tudies have shown that exposing children to music from these early ages can have a significant impact on their development throughout childhood. For information on Augustana programs please contact Charlene Brown, Conservatory Administrator at 780-679-1673.

Council investigating complaint about ambulance trailers By Dan Jensen

There's an old saying that nothing is as permanent as a temporary structure. Case in point are the ambulance trailers at the north east corner of the St. Mary's Hospital parking lot. Alberta Health Services moved the EMS operations into the portables last year after investigators found mould in the main ambulance garage. The move didn't go unnoticed by residents to the east of the trailers, who quickly started noticing fumes from the ambulances and the generators that are used to provide power to the trailers, as well as the increased amount of traffic from trucks delivering water or pumping out sewage. "The toxic fumes moving downwind into our yards and all the noise create a ze ro desire to sit and enjoy our backyards or the outdoors at all," said Dave and Lori Hering in a recent letter to Mayor Chalmers and City council. "This problem, plus the unnecessary large amount of daily commercial truck traffic on 47 Avenue, which is not a dedicated truck route and has no signage stating so, creates the atmosphere of a truck stop and our current taxes certainly do not reflect this." The Herings feel they have been more than patient since the temporary situation was established, but now are wanting to see some action. According to their letter, there has not been a single thing done to the ambulance garage. "We find that there are zero plans or anything concrete as to what is going to be done, let alone when, by any person or group," they said. A report on what was being done to remedy the situation at the EMS station was expected to be presented to Alberta Health Services last fall. "Once we get the report back we will know what the next steps have to be," said Alberta Health Services spokesman in an interview with The Camrose Booster in Sept., 2010.

Mayor Marshall Chalmers said council has met with the president and CEO of Alberta Health Services to discuss the ambulance situation, and will be putting together a meeting shortly with Alberta Health Services and WetaskiwinCamrose MLA in hopes of getting some action. "Temporary is moving well on over a year now," he said. "We can let them know that our community is not satisfied with carrying on with this." Councillor Brandon Blatz said he had an opportunity to go over to the Hering residence and see the situation for himself. "It is quite a serious situation," he said. "It affects not only their property but quite a few properties that are basically all lower than these trailers. "When they run their generators and pressure washers and what not, the fumes basically naturally come down. The sanitary truck comes I think she said three or four times a week and that is not pleasant. Water has come in at fivethirty in the morning a few times." Blatz finds it ironic, as do the Herings, that a health facility is, in essence, doing things that create a health problem. "I really hope that Alberta Health Services takes this seriously." Councillor Gerry Galenza said it is unfortunate that the ambulance operation that has to operate 24 hours a day seven days a week is so close to the residential neighbourhood. He also stressed that residents have to remember that the City of Camrose no longer is responsible for the ambulances and ambulance service. "The final say on the location belongs to Alberta Health Services." Blatz noted that several vehicles are using 47 Avenue as a shortcut to 53 Street and a way to bypass the traffic lights on 48 Avenue. Mayor Chalmers said he was in the process of drafting a letter of response to the Herings.

MS Society to launch a community group in Camrose By Murray Green

A Camrose chapter of the MS Society, Alberta and NWT Division will be launched on Tuesday, August 30. Starting with a street level barbecue, the celebration will be held to connect with local residents in the Camrose area affected by MS. “We’re reaching out to the community to get their input to determine what will work best for a community group in Camrose and area,” said Douglas Tokaryk, manager of regional services with

the MS Society’s Alberta and NWT Division. This year, the society has partnered with the local health promotion office at Alberta Health Services delivering presentations to health professionals, community members, while attending many area fairs, conventions and hosting a M S meeting in April. Community group co-facilitators, Kathryn Badry from Alberta Health Services, Pastor Norman Lentz from The Bethany Group, Aileen Steele, manager of client

services, and Tokaryk will be at the barbecue. Camrose has been an important partner in the MS Society’s RONA MS Bike Tour for a number of years. “We feel it's time to have a “hands-on” presence in the Camrose area in addition to the MS Bike Tour,” said Douglas. “Each year residents see a couple thousand cyclists ride through town on a weekend to raise money for MS services and research. We want to make sure we’re there year-round for the people who need us.”

The barbecue will be held on the street in front of The Open Door at 4825-51 Street starting at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 30. There will be a planning meeting upstairs in the boardroom of The Open Door following the barbecue at approximately 7:30 p.m. Over 11,000 Albertans live with multiple sclerosis. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40. Women are three times more likely than men to be diagnosed with MS. Canada is a world leader in MS research. In particular,

Alberta researchers are making significant gains into the treatment and cure of MS. MS is a disease affecting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It destroys the protective covering of the nerve fibers, and sometimes the nerve fibers themselves, preventing signals from being transmitted from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.

Terry Fox Run in Camrose Sept. 18 By Dan Jensen

Pledge sheets are available now for the thirty first annual Terry Fox Run in Camrose. “We have the forms available at the Augustana bookstore, Merchants Tea and Coffee, the fitness centre at Edgeworth Centre and the Camrose Resort Casino,” said Terry Fox Run co-chair Cathy Davis. Forms are also available for download at www.terryfoxrun. org. The Terry Fox Run will get underway from the Bill Fowler Centre starting at 11:00 a.m. September 18. Registration is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. “We will have three km and 10 km trails marked out,” said Davis. “People will be allowed to run, walk, rollerblade, bike or use their wheelchairs.” The Camrose Church of God will be serving breakfast prior to the beginning of the run. "They serve the breakfast every year as part of their community involvement day," said Davis. "It's been a great addition to the run." The Camrose Terry Fox Run has always enjoyed great participation. “Part of that is d ue to the fact th e run is non-competitive and part is d ue to the fact that Camrose has such a great system of paved trails,” said Davis. Terry Fox Run organizers are hoping the turnout for the

31st annual run will be the highest ever. “We know the more participants we have the greater the fund-raising total will be,” said Davis. Receipts will be issued by the Terry Fox Foundation to anyone who pledges $20 or more. Eighty per cent of the money raised in the Terry Fox Run goes directly towards cancer research. "I'm sure that is what Terry would have wanted," said Davis. Keeping Terry’s memory alive

The Terry Fox Foundation strives to keep alive the heroic efforts and integrity that Terry embodied, while recognizing the

duality of its mandate. Along with raising money for research, it continues to share the story of Terry Fox. People from around the world are taught about Terry Fox in the hope that their lives might be enriched by his example. Terry Fox was 18 years old when he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer). At t hat time, a c ommon treatment for this type of cancer was amputation, and Terry had his right leg removed six inches above his knee. Determined to do something to prevent others from having to go through what he did, Terry decided to run across the country to ra ise money, and awareness for cancer research. He called his journey The Marathon of Hope. With fierce determination, Terry started his fund-raising journey on April 12, 1980, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. He ran 42 km every day for 143 days before the spread of his own cancer forced him to stop in Thunder Bay, Ontario. He died of cancer in June, 1981, at the age of 22. Terry’s goal of $1 from every Canadian has been realized many times over since 1981, with over $500 million raised for cancer research. His example has proved to be universal as more than 30 countries outside Canada have hosted Terry Fox Runs.

Curtis Cecil Stensrud

Nora Isobel Holmberg

Charles “Charlie” McCrea

Curtis Cecil Stensrud was born on July 3, 1 978, to proud parents Stan and Sheila. He grew up i n Camrose, but spent lots of fun times at his grandparents’, aunts’ and uncles’ in Tofield, Ryley, Edson and Cold Lake. He participated in hockey and other sports, but the love of his life was baseball. When he wasn’t playing baseball, slowpitch with his family and friends took over. Even t hough horseshoes was a s lower game, he f ound out at a ver y early age his grandpa Cecil was the best player around. He could hardly lift the shoes and Grandpa would be spotting him 18 points. Then, as he got better and older, he wasn’t given so many. He loved giving his “little bros” a rough time and teaching them how to pitch that ball. He was the best brother to Blake and Tyler, and he loved them so much. After graduating, Curtis had a variety of jobs cutting trees in Whitecourt and other areas. He worked on service rigs in Cold Lake, and the last years were on a d rilling rig. Wherever Curtis was working, he wo uld always come home. In fact, when we bought our new house, he was so happy we had more room and we thought he would never leave. Then a yea r and a ha lf ago, Danielle came along and the happy couple started their new life on their own and were looking forward to the arrival of t heir baby. Curtis had a huge heart, and gave the biggest bear hugs. He was never scared to say, “I love you” or “Sorry”. He was very generous, and would lend a helping hand to anyone. Family and friends were very important to him, and we know he never meant to hurt anyone. He knew every day that he was loved. Curtis has hit his longest home run, and is going for home plate where he will be safe. Curtis is leaving behind his sweetheart Danielle Elliot, and unborn baby; his Mom and Dad Stan and Sheila Helgeland; his proud brothers Blake and Tyler; his Grandma Shirley Stensrud and Grandpa Leonard Helgeland; many aunts, uncles, cousins and a long line of f riends who will miss him dearly. He will be joining his Grandpa Cecil Stensrud, Grandma Violet Helgeland and Uncle Garland Sharkey, where he will share a great big bear hug. Funeral services were held on F riday, August 26, 2 011, at 1: 00 p.m. from Messiah Lutheran Church with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Interment followed in Bosman’s Garden Cemetery in Round Hill.

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ohaton seeks tie-in to Camrose water, County works on gaining approvals By Murray Green

GARAGE SALES FERINTOSH, 102 LINGREN ST. – Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, Aug. 19 to Sept. 11. New items added weekly. ST. ANDREW’S ANGLICAN CHURCH ACW FALL GARAGE SALE – Thursday, Sept. 15, 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Friday, Sept. 16, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 4713-50 St., Camrose. Everyone welcome.

Camrose County agreed to approach the City of Camrose to start discussions about the status of the Ohaton Regional Water Transmission Line Tie-in approvals. An open house on August 11 was held to determine the number of tie-ins that are required. The City has allowed these designated properties to receive water from its outlets. At the meeting only 10 affected land owners showed up out of a p ossible 29. "This was somewhat disappointing," said county assistant administrator Al Radke. "Since then, I c ompleted a telephone survey. I have 15 responses, with one undecided and two no's out of the 29 land owners. However, there was interest expressed by one land owner who was not lucky enough to have been initially identified in the lottery as being a potential tie-in recipient. This land owner has since written a letter to council wishing to be included in the approvals for tie-ins. Others were on the fence as to whether or not they wanted to tie into the water at all." Councillor Brian Austrom said he had two nearby land owners wanting to tie-in as well. "The question is do we want every land owner to be tied in," said Brian. "We can't force everyone to be tied in. Our bylaw says we are going to do this. If they don't want a tiein, they should sign off." There are other factors that are now beginning to surface and appear. "One property selected to receive water has been pointed out by the community as to not

even having a residence on it at this point in time. That has yet to be confirmed," said Al. "There are also five properties that are land locked with no County road allowance or right-of-way available in which to directionally drill a water utility service." Three of those are adjacent to a provincial jurisdiction highway. The way the current approvals read a nd are being interpreted, only the singled out and identified 29 current residences are eligible to receive water. "This means that if for instance, rightof-way authorizations or easements are not granted for the land locked residences, this suggests that potentially five water connections will be sterilized," explained Al. "If the approvals were to be i nterpreted to this extent it would be a travesty and a shame because there is o bviously at least one land owner who could take advantage of an available tie-in instead." The approvals are also silent on whether or not the County or the land owners must pay and forward the required $3,661 to the City for each identified potential tie-in, even if the water connection is never made or, the other consideration, if now the tie-in has been made obsolete and wasted. Councillor Doug Lyseng asked, "Can we add two in for the two that don't want to tie in. I certainly don't want to go over the 29 we asked for from the City." Councillor Trevor Miller agreed. "I'm n ot sure we should go back t o the City and ask for more tie-ins. That goes against the agreement we had in place."

Be smart: stay school bus safe

School buses are essential modes of transportation, taking thousands of students to and from school every day. While school bus accidents are rare, riders should still practice safety aboard and around the bus. Maintaining school bus safety is a team effort. Students need to do their part while riding the bus. Here are the safety precautions that should be followed. * Walk to the bus stop, don't run. Always use caution when crossing roadways. * Walk on the sidewalk whenever possible. If no sidewalk is present, walk in the opposite direction of traffic to be aware of on-coming traffic. * Don't fool around at the bus stop. Accidents can happen when individuals are unaware of their surroundings or distracted. * Stand at the bus stop in a safe location. Do not enter the street. Arrive at the bus stop early so there is no need to rush and be distracted. * Wait for the school bus to come to a complete stop and for other traffic to halt before approaching the bus. * Promptly take a seat, and remain seated throughout the entire ride. If there are safety belts present, use them. * Do not distract the bus driver with loud yelling.
