Two families receive Habitat for Humanity home

By Murray Green

The Rios and Davies families have a new home by working with Habitat for Humanity. Both families received the keys to half a duplex in the 70th Street and 50 Avenue area.

Ruth Ford, of the Habitat family selection committee, introduced the families to the community on August 30. The Rios family is headed by mother Edna with children Margarita, Manuela, Walter (Mauricio) and Alejandra.

The Davies family includes father Matthew, mother Kaitlin and children Emmajay, Junelily, Cordelia and Katrina. "The Rois family have completed their sweat equity hours," said Ruth. "The Davies have worked hard since June and have completed more than half of their hours, about 270 hours, I am told."

Matthew Davies said, " Thanks for the home, gifts and bible, and for the support from Larry and the people volunteering. We came late, but we tried to put in as many hours as we could." The family moved from Edmonton.

Edna Rios was excited about her new home and said, "My family wishes to thank everyone that made our dreams realized."

Councillor Greg Wood brought greetings from the City of Camrose. "Congratulations to the family, the committees involved, the volunteers, the sponsors and Habitat for your hard work and dedication. Without your hard work, these projects wouldn't be possible. We welcome the families to their new homes and home ownership, and the trials, tribulations and joy that go along with it."

Habitat executive director Cody McCarroll explained how volunteers worked together to make the project possible. "We have our volunteers and business partners to thank who worked together in bringing this dream to reality for these two well deserving families.

We have a long list of volunteers, about 60 in total, and about 50 businesses who helped us."

Habitat board member Lavona Broen expressed her thoughts on the project on behalf of Camrose Habitat chairman Erhard Pinno. "This is a real special day in the life of Habitat. This is the 18th home we have dedicated. I was thinking back on the privilege of being old is that, I only missed one dedication.

What a joy it is to come to this day, especially for those who worked so hard to make it happen."

Lavona said there are a l ot of people to thank, but she said two in particular did a lot.

Larry Schultz and Ben Wiebe, representing the many volunteers, were introduced as special friends to the build. "Erhard made it very clear that if it wasn't for Larry, we would not be here today. He was the building chairman.

Ben has given 100 per cent to the project and did the finishing touches to this home."

The keys to the homes were presented to the families, along with bibles from the Canadian Bible Institute.

AESO responds to landowners' fear of transmission lines

By Shan Bhattacharya, vice president, Transmission Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) Camrose Booster Re: Landowners fear loss of democracy

The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) wishes to respond to inaccurate comments included in the August 16th Booster about the need for transmission upgrades in Alberta and their associated costs.

Contrary to information that was recently presented to members of your community, it is incredibly difficult to compare Alberta to its neighbouring province of British Columbia. Our province is t he fastest growing jurisdiction in North America with an electricity system that supports a $5 billion wholesale electricity market which is the enabler of our roughly $300 billion economy.

Alberta’s electricity consumption is also forecasted to nearly double over the next 20 years. This increased demand is

stretching the system of transmission towers and wires that delivers electricity from where it is generated to our homes, businesses, farms and industries across Alberta. And, much like every other jurisdiction in Canada, our electricity infrastructure is aging. While our existing infrastructure has supported us well for many years, significant upgrades are required to support the province’s future growth over the next 40 to 50 years.

It is equally important to recognize that Alberta has a unique make-up in that 60 per cent of our demand comes from industrial load. These customers require electricity on a 2 4/7 basis. They have hundreds of billions of dollars in capital investment that are reliant on a s trong transmission system, which effectively drives Alberta’s economic growth.

Transmission planning is an ongoing process and changes in economics, industrial projects and customer connection requests are

continuously monitored to assess their impact on forecasting. The AESO released a draft of its 2011 Long-term Transmission Plan (LTP) in June. This document is a flexible and evolving roadmap for the development of transmission infrastructure in the province. It encompasses updated load and generation forecasts using third party experts such as the Conference Board of Canada and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers.

The AESO’s 2011 LTP identifies transmission projects required to 2020 at an estimated cost of $13.5 billion. Sixty per cent of the total cost, or $8.3 billion, relates to approximately 50 regional projects and supports more than 200 customer connection requests. The remaining 40 per cent of the total cost, or $5.2 billion represent four Critical Transmission Infrastructure projects.

To help put this into perspective, for every $1 billion spent on

transmission, the cost to the average residential consumer is about one dollar per month. The cost impact of the projects included in the LTP will occur gradually as projects are built. Recently, the Independent Power Producers Society of Alberta, Industrial Power Consumers Association of Alberta and the Utilities Consumers Advocate hired London Economics International LLC to benchmark the Alberta electricity prices for the next five years against other Canadian provinces. The study concludes that “when compared fairly, Alberta’s prices are competitive across Canada.”

Lastly, comments made about a l ine running from Fort McMurray to Brooks are completely erroneous as no such line exists, nor has one been proposed.

It appears the presenter confused and compounded two separate projects and provided misleading information that suggests the

imaginary line is an overbuild, intended for export.

In reality, all projects identified within the AESO’s LTP are required to meet the needs of local Albertans. The projects are designed to be staged consistent with the need driven by economic growth. If the growth is slower than anticipated, the stages of the projects can be stretched out to manage rate impact to the customers. In 2010, our province exported approximately 1 per cent of all power produced in Alberta, whereas imports accounted for twice as much.

Significant upgrades to the transmission system are required to meet the province’s future energy requirements and continue to ensure a reliable system. We encourage you to visit our public engagement website, www.poweringalberta.com to learn more about the need for transmission upgrades in our province.

Province stepping up employment standards enforcement Alberta is ra mping up efforts to improve fairness in the workplace with a combination of better enforcement and education.

To respond to more complaints and to expedite investigations, six new Employment Standards officers are being hired and the use of thirdparty auditors will increase.

To ensure that employers have better information about workplace rights and responsibilities, new training materials are being launched.

The actions are part of the Alberta government’s efforts to improve compliance with employment standards. A n ew 24/7 online complaint system was introduced in December 2010, and it has resulted in an increase in the number of complaints filed by workers against their employers.

Approximately one-third of complaints are resolved through an early resolution process. More complex files require additional time for investigations and can extend into sev-

eral months. The Alberta government recently introduced a more transparent complaint process and more stringent audit procedures for cases where employers are suspected of violating the Employment Standards Code or Regulation.

When necessary, external auditors will be brought in to review an employer’s records. The cost for these audits will be borne by the employers themselves.

“Fairness in the workplace is important to Albertans, so just as we did with occupa-

tional health and safety, we’re ramping up our enforcement of employment standards in Alberta and improving education at the same time,” said Thomas Lukaszuk, Minister of Employment and Immigration.

A new Employment Standards Tool Kit for Employers has also been created to improve awareness of standards and to give employers a clear picture of their rights and responsibilities.

“Most employers treat employees fairly, but we still receive complaints about mater-

nity leave, unpaid overtime or vacation pay, insufficient termination notice, improper jobs for young workers and other violations. Our new tool kit focuses directly on these problem areas. We’re holding employers accountable and I’m putting them on notice we’ll be doing more than ever before to ensure fairness in the workplace,” Lukaszuk added.

The Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak donated $1,000 to the Camrose Grateful Grannies, a branch of the Stephen Lewis Foundation which is involved in grassroots supports of AIDS orphans in Africa.

Presenting a cheque to Agnes Hoveland (right), of the Camrose Grateful Grannies, was Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak president Patrice Johnson.

PEN POINTS

by Berdie Fowler

I would like to respond to the excellent article by Mrs. Fowler in the August 23 edition of the Camrose Booster.

It seems that it used to be common knowledge that prevention was better and cheaper than looking for a cure. Somehow that knowledge has been forgotten or is being ignored.

Focusing on the third example of Mr. Buffet’s statements, I would suggest the situation is even worse. Not only are the super rich not paying their fair share in taxes, they are also recipients

of the taxpayers' (unwilling) largesse. The latest example being $10 million made available to one of the two largest packing plants in Alberta. This money was courtesy of the federal government. The provincial government decided this was a worthy cause and contributed another $25 million. Since provincial and federal taxpayers are one and the same person, we just contributed $35 million to a corporation that measures its profits, not assets, in billions of dollars. These funds are to be used to upgrade their facility.

I can imagine the response if I asked for government (taxpayers’) funds to upgrade my facility.

My combine is 16 years old and certainly eligible for an upgrade but I m ust admit I h ave never sent large amounts of cash to any political party.

The new definition of democracy seems to be, government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.

There is hope however since a group of super rich folks in France have now asked their government to raise their tax-

es. Perhaps they have realized that if ordinary people don’t have money they don’t spend it and prevent the rich from becoming more rich by not buying the products provided by the rich. The stated claim of the French group is that their interest is in having a strong country.

It is to be hoped that the idea of consideration of the larger picture and not just one’s own circumstance will catch on for the benefit of all.

Horst Schreiber, Ohaton Dear Editor:

I want to say thanks very much for the added publicity given to the Camrose Founders Days Rhythym and Ragtime show by The Booster front page exposure as arranged by Ron Pilger.

We had huge response and almost filled the Bailey. I don't think we would have achieved that without Ron's help. Thanks very much.

MP Sorenson satisfied that NDP will withdraw old age security motion Submitted by Crowfoot Riding

The choice: prevention or risk After more than a decade of preventive education, we still have far too many children, and adults too, who are struggling to cope with life while carrying the non-ending burden of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD).

What is (FASD)? Thanks to research, we have learned that it is a dysfunction of the brain, and that victims need support to help them live with the disability. Children or adults with FASD behave impulsively, have short attention spans, can’t work independently, are unreliable, don’t make the connection between act and consequence and are therefore prone to repeating mistakes throughout their lives, often leading to school dropout, unemployment, poverty, and conflict with the law. Their behavior is often misinterpreted by parents, teachers, employers and others as not paying attention, not trying, being lazy or willfully disobedient and stubborn. The problem has been misunderstood by too many for too long; it is not that a FASD victim won’t perform as normally expected but that he or she can’t.

The bright side of the story is that FASD is 100 per cent preventable. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, “Primary prevention (of FASD) is achieved by simply not drinking during pregnancy,” ... and “drinking during pregnancy is the leading known cause of developmental disability in Canada.”

The saddest aspects of this story is t hat, first, there is no cure; and second, while FASD is 100 percent preventable, research has found that many women, especially those in societies that accept general use of alcohol such as Canada and the United States, do not abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages during pregnancy.

What can be done to change this? Unbelievable as it is, there are women among us who still say they did not know the detrimental effects of alcohol on a fetus, that they’d never heard the National Alliance of FASD message that “there is no safe amount of alcohol nor safe time to drink while pregnant.” Others simply do not believe it. We therefore need to be relentless in our efforts to communicate the message in every way possible – the printed word, radio, television, internet, word of mouth and by example. We can also strive to achieve better outcomes for FASD children by ensuring that each one receives early diagnosis, appropriate services, and a stable family life.

In Camrose and around the world, Thursday, September 9, will again be observed as International FASD Awareness Day. Since Sept. 9, 1999, the World Health Organization has been promoting the distribution of information about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder with the objective of eliminating this devastating affliction. We are making progress but, with an estimated 300,000 victims in Canada, there is much yet to be done.

Childbearing women are free to make their own choices.

Because FASD is 100 per cent preventable, why not choose prevention rather than risk?

Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson is committed to ensuring that NDP Deputy Leader Libby Davies, MP, formally withdraws her Private Member's Motion M-141 that would hand out expensive taxpayer funded benefits to those who may have never paid any taxes by eliminating the requirement for Old Age Security recipients to have lived in Canada for at least 10 years.

“My constituents expect their elected representative in Ottawa to ‘watchdog’ these kinds of antics by the Opposition. Over my tenure as our Member of Parliament, I have seen the most ridiculous proposals to spend massive amounts of taxpayer money from Bloc Quebecois, Lib-

eral and NDP MPs in Opposition.

These kinds of attempts to ramp up federal expenditures are what those parties share in common – like a “coalition”. None of them use Private Members Business to work on suggesting ways to reduce or save taxpayer funds,” Sorenson said.

“Yesterday, I was so incensed by the news of the return of former-Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla’s infamous OAS Bill that I – a nd many of my Conservative Caucus colleagues - t ook immediate action to ‘rally our troops’ against it – again.

I issued a press release alerting our own local media, and within one 24-hour news cycle the national media was reporting that the NDP will be somehow ‘correcting’ the Parliamen-

tary procedural ‘mistake’ of their Deputy Leader, Libby Davies, MP. H ow pathetic,” Sorenson recounts.

“The only reason Ms. Davies is withdrawing her OAS Motion M-141 is b ecause her leadership contention musings is forcing issues like this one into the spotlight. Sh e has to try and rid herself of this kind of recklessspending measure that she and her Opposition colleagues are always pulling on the governing party. Again, the voters I represent wish the Opposition would work to help our Conservative government focus on Canada’s economic performance and help provide jobs for hard-working taxpaying Canadians,” Sorenson concludes.

St. Patrick School student Kamryn Burke controls the traffic in the school zone to make sure children are safe during the first day on school on August 30. Motorists and pedestrians are reminded to share the responsibility for getting children to and from school safely.

Camrose Primary Care Network If you are a n ew mom, the Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) New Moms' Network is the place for you.

The New Moms' Network offers the opportunity to meet other new moms, gather information, form friendships and build a network of resources and support that will positively impact you, your child and family.

The New Moms' Network offers group sessions which run for six weeks at a t ime, with moms of infants between six weeks to six months of age. Sessions are fun and informative, facilitated by Kari Befus, RN, and Jennifer Willes, RN, Nurse Lead, Camrose PCN Prenatal Clinic. Experts from the community will cover topics such as: literacy, and speech, growth and development, fitness and community services, nutrition, dental and safety.

After participating in one of the recent sessions, new mom Trina McCarroll stated she felt

very connected to the community.

“The New Moms’ group was the perfect starting point for myself as a new mom. I received reliable information and had many of my questions answered about having a new baby. It took the mystery out of being a new parent. " Facilitator Kari Befus, believes the purpose of the program is t hree part. “ It allows the moms to gain health information, learn about community resources specific to them, and also get to know new moms that are going through the same stage of life as they are. This gives them the opportunity to make connections that will hopefully last beyond the six weeks. I t has the potential to increase the social support system for these moms as they develop friendships with each other," said Befus.

“PCN physicians and healthcare providers recognized there was an opportunity in the community to develop a program for new moms as they start their journey as parents and all the questions around it," said Stacey

Strilchuk, Camrose PCN Executive Director. “We are fortunate to have many experts on new parenting topics right here in our community, and are so pleased to be able to collaborate with them in a way that is meaningful and relevant to families with a new baby.”

“Meeting other new moms and the opportunity to build friendships was invaluable to me," said McCaroll. “A group of us have now continued on informally, meeting each other for walks and coffee. M y daughter Brook also has new playmates, which I h ope turn into life-long friendships. “ The New Moms’ Network is free of charge, with the next sixweek session beginning September 13, every Tuesday afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m.

By Murray Green Jazz musician Karl Schwonik was appointed to the board of directors for the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) for a t hree-year term, which starts immediately.

Karl, originally from Gwynne, instructs jazz camps in the area, is a guest instructor at various schools in the Camrose and Wetaskiwin area, and performs at a yearly concert at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus.

His first CD w as named the top jazz recording of the year and his second album is nominated for the same award.

He is currently working on his master's degree in Toronto. "For those of you who are Albertan, my door (and in box) is always open and I look forward to discussing anything and everything about the AFA with you," said Karl. "Please be in touch at any time regarding the organization."

The Alberta Foundation of Arts is run through the culture and community spirit ministry in the Government of Alberta.

The Foundation exists to fund, encourage and support the development of arts as a v aluable contributor to quality of life in Alberta, and to maintain and expand the AFA art collection as a s trategic resource for all Albertans.

"This appointment is extremely exciting for me and is a huge step in my career, as I expand out from just being a performer," added Karl. "I started this expansion with running the non-profit Wetaskiwin Jazz Society and now I w ill be able to take this side of my career to the next level. I a m truly honoured to be on this prestigious board and I hold the AFA in high esteem. T he organization has supported my career in many ways over the past eight years and now I am able to give back to them and to the arts community in our province."

Karl wants feedback from the arts community. "Although I don't live in the WetaskiwinCamrose area right now, I still spend a lot of time in the region each year. I also try to keep in touch with as many people in the arts community as possible in the area," said Karl. "For those artists/arts organizations whom I know and for those who I will get to know in Camrose, they now have a d irect line to the major granting organization for arts in Alberta. I l ook forward to hearing from as many artists and arts organizations in Camrose as possible."

Wet a sk iw i n- Ca m r o se MLA Verlyn Olson made the announcement of the appointment in the legislature in late August.

Excitement is building for the September 21 to 25 Canadian Hot Air Balloon Championship.

"I'm looking forward to it," said Camrose Mayor Marshall Chalmers last week.

"It's going to be a great event for our community."

The Canadian Hot Air Balloon Championship is being billed as a one-of-akind experience for spectators and a ra re competitive opportunity for pilots in Western Canada.

"We are trying to build something for everyone, so it is n ot just a ba llooning event," said Chalmers.

"Hopefully we can turn this into a nice festival for our parents and families."

The competition part of the championship will involve seven flights in which 20 balloon pilots will be tested on their ability to get their balloons from point A to B u sing the existing winds and drop a m arker as close as they can to the centre of a ta rget laid out on the ground. The top pilot will represent Canada at the World Hot Air Balloon Championship in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 2012.

"There will be a whole series of tasks designed to test our accuracy," said balloon pilot John Phillips.

Former student at recital

Submitted by Milton Schlosser

On Wednesday, September 21st, at 7:30 p.m. in Camrose’s Augustana Chapel, one of the first concerts of the University of Alberta’s new academic year will take place. The recital features a trio of prominent Alberta musicians whose contributions have been noted within Canada and beyond its borders. The three artists will perform an exciting program that features works from a variety of traditions – classical, folk-pop, spiritual. As well, the event will première a work written by an up-and-coming aboriginal artist.

Kathleen Corcoran, soprano, has been acclaimed internationally for her warm, clear voice, embracing stage presence, and intelligent musicality. Tanya Prochazka is one of Canada’s leading cellists. Born in Melbourne, Australia, she is a sea soned, charismatic international performer.

Milton Schlosser, piano, is known both as an accomplished recitalist and innovative university piano instructor. All three are music professors at the University of Alberta.

These artists have individually recorded numerous CDs and, in a c ollective effort, appear on the popular recording Landsmål: The Lyrical Dialect of Edvard Grieg. The recital highlights one of the selections from this recording, the famous sonata for cello and piano. A s well, an intriguingly diverse series of songs will be presented, including those written by composers such as Austria’s Franz Schubert (born in 1797) and one of Canada’s most celebrated living folk-pop stars, Gordon Lightfoot.

A moment of pride for the University of Alberta and aboriginal communities will be the première performance of a work composed by 2010 Augustana Campus graduate and Métis composer Nicholas Howells. Entitled Crowfoot and written specifically for Howell’s former piano instructor Milton Schlosser, the piece celebrates the great chief after whom the federal constituency of Crowfoot is named.

The eight-minute composition is a remarkable blend of contemporary styles and requires the pianist to also drum, chant, and speak one of Chief Crowfoot’s most famous sayings in Cree.

As well, reflecting the aboriginal tradition of community involvement in music making, the audience will play an active role in the performance. T he work makes its international debut later this fall in Tokyo, Japan, as part of a recital Corcoran and Schlosser will be giving at the Canadian Embassy’s Oscar Peterson Theatre.

Howells is but one of a handful of young aboriginal composers active in classical music in Canada. He has written numerous other works, including a piece composed for a CBC Young Composers' competition entitled Riel.

He currently resides in Red Deer, where he is employed full-time as a piano instructor.

Tickets will be available at the door ($20/$15 seniors and students).

They are a h ot commodity and won’t be around long. The tickets for the Camrose Association For Community Living’s 2011 Annual Charity Auction held on Saturday, October 15, are now on sale.

"CAFCL’s vision is that each person is an accepted and participating community member. With your support, we will make this year's 'Mission: Inclusion' possible," said Shariss Piro, charity auction committee chair.

The auction is an event that raises valuable funds for programs for individuals with disabilities, individuals with brain injuries, children with special

health or developmental concerns and families at risk.

It is an evening of food, fun and fellowship with a silent and live auction. The food market and the famous popcorn prizes are also a highlight.

The 2011 proceeds will be allocated towards CAFCL specialized community inclusion programming, the Teaching Independence and Parent Support (TIPS) program and Family Support Programming, which offers a respite program as well as a summer recreation program for children ages seven to 17.

"Many of these programs are not fully funded by a government department, therefore, CAFCL needs your help to continue these

programs to engage our clients as active community stakeholders and contributors," added Shariss.

There are various ways to support the CAFCL Charity Auction. "You can give a cash donation for which we will provide you a charitable tax receipt. This can be a one-time gift, or an annual monthly giving program can be arranged. A donation of an item for the silent or live auction is how we raise most of our funds — through our auction attendees purchasing donated items."

Individuals or groups may purchase tickets or a c orporate table at a cost of $50 per person.

For more information on any of these giving opportunities, contact CAFCL at 780-672-0257.

When parents get involved children have more success Parents often complain that they don’t get to play an important role in their children’s education. And yet, most schools enthusi-astically welcome any parent who wants to get involved – whether it is i n the education of students or in the decisionmaking process.

Depending on the school’s particular needs, parents can get involved during the day through special projects in the classroom, in the library, during lunch hour or during fieldtrips. These activities don’t require a lot of time and generally only take place on occa-

Save

sion. Some parents are happy to participate in just one event each year, while others who may have more free time might decide to become more involved. Whether you have one hour a year to give, or one hour each day, parental involvement is n ot just encouraged, it’s extremely important!

Parents who get involved also show their children just how interested they are in their children’s learning experience and life outside of the home.

If your schedule prevents you from getting involved in school activities, there are also parent

committees in which you can participate. Generally, these committees meet in the evenings.

During this time, parents, teachers and school officials discuss various projects such as fundraising activities or the annual schoolyard cleanup. Financial, administrative and pedagogical decisions may also be made during these meetings.

Help the school give your children the best possible learning experience. Getting involved will also help your children succeed at school. When you get involved, everyone benefits!

MS Society starts a community group in Camrose area

By Murray Green

A Camrose multiple sclerosis (MS) community group, on which more than 20 people want to work, was started Tuesday, August 30.

The MS group began with a street barbecue by The Open Door and then the celebration turned into a meeting to discuss how members of the group can connect with each other in the Camrose area. “We have had some events in the area in hopes that a reg ional office can be set up in the future. We need to raise money, so we are thinking a year and a h alf or two y ears from now,” said Douglas Tokaryk, manager of regional services with the MS Society’s Alberta and NWT Division. "We would like to open now, but the current fund-raising realities of the economic climate prevent us from doing that. Our goal is to open an office here. We have three offices in Alberta now."

The Camrose area has been a strong supporter of the MS Society. "Camrose has always had a strong support group. Pastor Norman Lentz has had a g roup at Bethany. We are changing the title to community group because it is more than just support," said Aileen Steele, MS manager of client services. "We had another group that met once a month and then we come out and provide information as well. It has been about four years since we had a strong group, so we want to have that again. Our intention is t o find out what the people of the Camrose area want or need and then go from there."

The society has partnered with Alberta Health Services,

delivering presentations to health professionals, community members, while attending many area fairs, conventions and hosting a MS meeting in April. Community group co-facilitators, Kathryn Badry from Alberta Health Services and Pastor Lentz connect the provincial MS office to the community. "Having a local group is huge. MS can be very isolating, the peer groups can be helpful and a lot of fun," said Aileen. "It is good to have social events and people can receive support that way."

Camrose is home to the MS Society’s MS Bike Tour that raises funds for research. “It is a go od time for the MS Society, oddly as that sounds. There is so m uch advocacy and attention being done and the government connectors' program has helped. We have research going on and the community groups are stronger,” said Douglas. “The MS Society raises about 96 per cent of the funds they need. We are looking for sustainability.”

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

CURB THE DANGER

Prevent suicide by understanding people, knowing the different signs

By Murray Green

In Alberta, approximately 460 people die each year by suicide.

According to the World Health Organization, each suicide will have a serious impact on at least six people.

This summer three National Hockey League players died by suicide and it has brought the subject to the forefront. Worldwide, there is a death by suicide every 40 seconds. In fact, suicide accounts for more deaths in the world than homicide and war-related deaths. September 10th has been set aside as World Suicide Prevention Day. Unfortunately, suicide suffers the stigma that is attached to mental illness. "Unless we are personally touched by the loss of a loved one to suicide it is not something openly discussed," said Melissa Smelquist of the Regional Suicide Prevention Council of East Central Alberta.

"By allowing mental illness and suicide to remain a taboo topic, people are less willing to seek help, thus suffer needlessly in silence. Suicide prevention and awareness are key to recognizing when a loved one or friend is in distress." Melissa is also a registered psychiatric nurse.

Although the number of deaths is high for adult males, the most suicide attempts are made by young females. "We want to target the youths in junior and senior high school. We are going to send a newsletter to every school, so people know who to contact in a crisis. The council encourages schools to make announcements in the morning to inform students the information is available and that people do care about them."

Suicide has been in the news lately and the council wants people to learn from those deaths. "It is very sad that the hockey players have died by suicide," said Melissa. "It brings attention to suicide. I want people to understand that suicide is preventable if you know what to look for and ask if they are struggling. Let them know things will get better. They need to know they can reach out. With depression, you can't see the bigger picture. There is hope and they need to know that."

Know the signs

Often people who are thinking about suicide show warning signs or indications that they want to talk to others. Look for someone who talks about wanting to die; has lost interest in doing things they used to enjoy; avoids being with people they normally spent time with; has more trouble at home, work, or school than usual; misuses or abuses drugs or alcohol.

"People need to be understanding by listening without judging and taking them seriously. Avoid giving advice or sharing your own opinions and never promise to keep talk of suicide a se cret," said Melissa. She suggested staying with them and involving family and friends. Assist them to seek professional help; plan to meet again and gently follow up to see if they did get help.

"They need to know that there is hope during a crisis. They don’t have to suffer alone and they can ask for help. Opening up the communication lines can be a big help."

If you are feeling depressed, there are 24-hour emergency and support numbers. Call the emergency 911 line, the mental health help line 1-877-303-2642, addiction help line at 1-866-332-2322 or kids help line 1-800-668-6868.

City councillor Gerry Galenza has a hard time coming to grips with talk around the province about rapid growth and building expansions and he sees the Camrose building permit values.

As of the end of July, Camrose had issued just $17,241,821 in building permits compared to $37,645,280 at the end of July in 2011.

"I have a c oncern of what is happening in Camrose," said Galenza at council's Aug. 22 meeting.

"Have we suddenly just dropped off the face of the earth in terms of this?"

Residential permits account for the bulk of the year's total value, at $13,900,911, while industrial permits stand at $2,043,220.

The value of commercial and institutional permits stands at $715,890 and $581,800 respectively.

The number of single fixed dwelling units built is 3 3, compared to 42 at the end of July, 2010.

Galenza is worried that if the growth is not there at the end of 2011 the City will not be able to buffer some of the tax increases at which council is looking.

"We budget each year for growth in taxation," he said. "We need about $54 million of new growth just to provide the level of services we provide.

"And we are at $17 million.

"Unless there is so mething else I am missing, things have kind of ground to a halt."

Galenza said he would feel a little more comfortable with the way the building permit value is struggling if he knew that other communities of a si milar size as Camrose were struggling as well.

He feels if they are, in fact, booming, the City may have to examine where Camrose is going and how it is se lling the community.

Galenza's concerns were shared by other councillors at the meeting.

"It is alarming to see that we are down so fa r," said councillor Shillington. "It doesn't surprise me that we are down but not to that extent."

Councillor Max Lindstrand suggested part of the problem with the low permit values may have to do with residential lots, which have escalated in price by 200 or 300 per cent over what they were six or seven years ago.

"If the only lots that are available are $200,000," he said, "what impact is that having on people deciding to locate and build here in the city of Camrose versus buying a qu arter section of land in the county and building out there? I think there comes a time when we go over the tipping edge on that."

Councillor John Howard said the low building permit totals call into question for him whether the City needs as many staff as it does.

"It is clear that we are down fifty per cent but we are not down fifty per cent in staff. I think that is another issue that we are going to have to look at as we get closer to budget time."

Camrose's Van Dornick places seventh at men's senior golf nationals

By Murray Green

Camrose golfer Frank Van Dornick placed seventh at the Canadian Men's Senior Golf Championships in Port Blanford, Newfoundland, August 26.

Chip Lutz, from the United States, won the event with a final round three under par (68) to finish seven under par (277) for the championship. After a breezy day at the Twin Rivers Golf Course, Lutz was the only player to shoot a final round score of par or better.

Frank shot rounds of 73-7371-83 for a total of 300. The wind took its toll on his final round as he was in the top five heading into the last day. He shot par on the 71 course (6,476 yards) in the third round.

British Columbia won the inter-provincial team competition with a narrow one-shot victory over Alberta. The Alberta team of Jim Russell of Calgary, Floyd Kilgore of Grimshaw and Frank finished in second place at 11-over par (295).

Shopping for school supplies doesn't have to break the budget Back to school season is upon us and that means it’s time to hit the stores for school supplies.

Many parents complain about the cost of binders, markers and calculators, but stocking up on school supplies doesn’t always have to put you in the poorhouse.

The amount you end up forking out will usually depend on the age of your children and how “cool” they want their school supplies to be.

Obviously, elementary school

students require fewer and less expensive items, whereas high school students generally require more costly items like mathematical calculators, which can sometimes cost a sm all fortune.

Fortunately, schools still cover the costs of textbooks!

Most students will need the obvious items like notebooks, colour markers, loose-leaf paper, binders, etc. You may also need to budget for items like arts supplies, an ID card, lock, recorder

and school agenda. Some schools also charge additional fees for lunch supervision and require a security deposit on textbooks that are lent out to students at the beginning of the school year.

And don’t forget about a new lunchbox, book bag, clothes and shoes. After all, each year brings a new set of styles and fashionable pop stars.

Before your kids start picking out the items they absolutely must have, check if the teach-

er has suggested a pa rticular brand. Either way, insist on function rather than fashion.

A trendy eraser that’s made of poor quality could end up leaving pages covered in black smears and those cheap pencil crayons could break every time the tip hits the paper.

On the other hand, there’s no need to spend extra money on loose-leaf paper. A good rule of thumb is to look for quality items that are on sale.

There is c ertainly no lack of stores that offer school supplies these days – f rom department stores and pharmacies, to bookstores and stationery stores.

Even office supplies stores and specialty boutiques offer a w ide range of items to choose from, so finding sales shouldn’t be too difficult. However, that popular boy-band book bag your teenage daughter insists on having might not go on sale for a while!

Kodiaks reveal south championship banner at home

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks will unveil the 2011 Alberta Junior Hockey League south division banner during the first regular season game at the Edgeworth Centre against the Canmore Eagles on Friday, September 9, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Former National Hockey League player Bryan Trottier will be dropping the puck and will be signing autographs at the second home game. Bryan won four Stanley Cups with the New York Islanders. The same two clubs play again in Camrose on Saturday, September 10, starting at 7:30 p.m.

The Lloydminster Bobcats edged Camrose 4-3 in the preseason rematch on August 27.

Veteran Luc Vandale scored twice and Ty Clay added a single marker to provide the offence.

Goalies Brayden Hopfe stopped 11 of 14 shots, while Matt Gibney stopped 10 of 11 shots. Camrose only managed 19 shots on goal.

The Bobcats doubled Camrose 4-2 in the first exhibition game of the season, August 26.

Dean Dupras and Cole Feth scored for the Kodiaks. Camrose out-shot Lloydminster 27-18.

Netminder Gibney stopped seven of 10 shots, while Kyle Hynes turned aside seven of eight shots directed his way.

In the annual black and white game, Team White edged Team Black 3-2 on August 25.

Lucas Mertz, Ryan Graff and Joshua White scored for Team White, while Cole Feth and Cody Pongracz countered for team Black.

A tailgate party will be held at the Edgeworth centre on Friday from 5 t o 7 p .m. with the proceeds going to the Family Violence Action Society.

A $ 3 d onation give you a hamburger or hot dog and a pop.

The Kodiaks would like to raise more than $600 to fight against family violence.

Lethbridge bound

Former Kodiak Tyler Skauge has committed to attend the University of Lethbridge, of the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport), for the 2011–12 season.

Skauge garnered 17 goals and added 11 assists for 28 points in 49 reg ular season games last year. He added two goals and four assists during the AJHL playoffs. Tyler will get a chance to play in front of friends and family in his home town as a University of Lethbridge Pronghorn this fall.

With the inclusion of this scholarship, the Camrose Kodiaks now have 13 players from the 2010-11 roster who have received a scholarship to a p ostsecondary institution.

Camrose Kodiaks' forward Landon Kadatz, left, sends the puck over to Cole Feth, right, who slides the puck past the Lloydminster Bobcats' netminder in the opening exhibition contest in Camrose. The Kodiaks open the regular season against the Canmore Eagles on September 9. The team will celebrate with a tailgate party prior to the game and a banner ceremony prior to the game.

Morton seeks a balanced budget, reduced cabinet

By Murray Green

Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Ted Morton has introduced a n ew fiscal policy that promises to balance the books within two years.

He is o ne of six candidates trying to follow Ed Stelmach as premier and Progressive Conservative leader. The others are Alison Redford, Doug Horner, Gary Mar, Doug Griffiths and Rick Orman.

Morton was in Camrose on August 30 to discuss his future plans if he is e lected premier of Alberta this fall. He grew up in the United States and completed his studies at the University of Toronto. He started teaching in Boston before accepting a professorial position at the University of Calgary. "I moved to Canada in 1973 and lived there for five years," Morton explained. "My first job was in Boston and then I moved to Calgary in 1981. Everything we owned was in a U-haul van and I had a three-year contract. I didn't know what the future had in store, but Alberta has been very good to us. I believe in the Alberta Advantage. I would like to see the same opportunities that I had, for the next generation of Albertans."

Morton began his involvement in politics through graduate student Stephen Harper. "He introduced me to Preston Manning. I ra n for an elected senate position, but I was tired of waiting for something to happen. I ran in the 2004 election and have been an MLA since then."

He ran for premier, but lost to Ed Stelmach in a close race.

"In 2006, I s till ran on a p olicy put together with Stephen. With him in office for five years, the relationship between the province and Canada has changed.

I still think you need a p remier who will stand up for Alberta. I

can do a better job than Ed Stelmach has done in lobbying for the province. My plan this time is fiscal responsibility and rebuilding public finance. I'm committed to returning to a ba lanced budget without raising individual taxes."

Morton also plans to rescind the 30 to 34 per cent pay hikes that the premier and cabinet passed for themselves. "We must commit to fiscal discipline, which means MLA salary hikes should be rescinded and the budget balanced by 2013, without deep service cuts or tax increases." About one third of the MLA's salary is tax free.

Morton received little support from Edmonton and northern MLAs last time. "I h ave six Edmonton MLAs behind me now and I am known throughout the province because of my work in northern Alberta in the forestry industry."

can have a trimmer cabinet and be more efficient." Calgary MLA Alison Redford supports Morton's fiscal blueprint, which also reflects her policies for stronger financial management in government.

Morton stepped down as finance minister last January to run for the leadership shortly after Premier Ed Stelmach announced his intention to resign. At the time, Morton was unhappy with Stelmach's spending plans for this fiscal year. Earlier this month the government announced it expects to run a $1.3 billion deficit this year.

Wheat Board

Although the Canadian Wheat Board falls under federal jurisdiction, Morton feels it is important for Albertans to examine a d uel marketing system.

"I've been a s upporter of a d uel system for 20 years. I t hink the Wheat Board should stay, but it must take a different form. It has worked in Ontario, where the Wheat Board can be an alternative to an open market system.

It opens it up for value added systems. Those are opportunities I see coming in the future."

Transmission lines

Fiscal plan

Morton's fiscal plan calls for adding "$2 billion this year to pay back $ 3.3 billion borrowed from Alberta's sustainability fund over the past few years" and then "infusing the fund by another $2 billion by the end of the 2015 fiscal year." He is a strong advocate of rebuilding the Heritage Savings Trust Fund.

"We have been limited in our spending, but we can do more.

That is w hy the sustainability fund is so important. There are about 50,000 people moving to Alberta every year and we have to be ready for that," said Morton, the former finance minister. "I don't want to let government debt undermine adequate funding for public services like health care and education. As long as there's not a double-dip recession, there's no need for any cuts."

His fiscal plan also promises to reduce the size of cabinet from 24 to 17 members. "I think we

to determine MLA and premier salaries. I would give much more attention to private members' input. The British and Australian systems have more leeway in voting for their constituencies than Canada has."

Ted Morton Health

"We have to decentralize health and give powers back to the regions to allow them to make decisions for their regions. I'm not in favour of a private system like Gary Mar. It should be a public system, for the public," stressed Morton. "Centralizing accounting and purchasing makes sense.

But, local decisions must be made by people who live in the region."

Accountability

The Conservatives reached 40 years of continuous government on August 30. Morton doesn't want the government to become stale. "Complacency is one of the biggest threats to the party. That is w hy I i ntroduced democratic reform. I want fixed election dates, limited terms for the premier and an outside group

Morton has reversed his stance on Bill 50 and the push for new transmission lines in the province. "I a m in favour of repealing Bill 50. It was based on the assumption that gas was expensive and coal was cheap.

That was true in 2005-06, but not today. Gas is c heaper and coal prices are expensive.

It would make sense to repeal that Bill and look at generation of gas, especially in the south.

Then we wouldn't need those two big transmission lines heading south."

At first, Morton was in favour of exporting power to the United States. "They have gas, coal and electricity just like we do and I d on't think the market is there," said Morton. "The biggest concern is the unnecessary overbuild of the lines."

Morton said he is in favour of Bill 36, the Land Stewardship Act. "Alberta is growing so quickly that we have to have a plan in place. It covers highways, transmission lines, water works and railway lines and all

of those things. If we want to keep the quality of life we have, we need to get on the land to do some of those projects. Anything we would export would have to be paid for by the export users themselves. The United States is interested in hydro and we don't have that."

Morton doesn't feel the government will have too much power as far as going on landowners' property. "All of the rights to compensation are still there. Now the restrictions are what people are worried about. I m ade sure, under the Land Stewardship Act, that we put the right to compensation in for any negative economic impact that environmental regulation has on landowners. I think we have taken this to the next step."

Education credit

"I would allow for students to receive a $20,000 credit on taxes to keep the students in Alberta, and that they find employment in Alberta when they graduate.

This helps employers as well, because it allows Albertans to stay at home."

He has proposed a n ew tax cut for Alberta college and university graduates who stay and work in Alberta. Morton's Tuition Tax Credit Program will provide a refund of up to $20,000 in tuition paid by Alberta students if they complete their program of study and then remain in Alberta and work for the next seven years.

The first ballot for voting on the next PC leader is on September 17. There will be a p olling station at the Bill Fowler Centre in Camrose. Battle River-Wainwright voters can vote at the Killam Senior's Centre. But check www.albertapc.ab.ca for additional polling station options that may be closer to where you live.

Roy Nixon VE6 QLL Roy Nixon, formerly of E dmonton, was born to Thomas and Florence Nixon in Stockport, Cheshire, England, on June 7, 1932, and passed away in Camrose, Alberta, on August 22, 2011, after a lengthy illness.

He was a v oracious reader, steeped in history, avid about automobiles, enthusiastic about steam trains, a talented model railroad builder, a serious soccer fan, a classical music buff and, especially, a devoted Grandfather.

Roy graduated from the University of Manchester as a Chemical Engineer in 1955.

Following his graduation, he came to Canada and began working at t he Dupont plant in Kingston, Ontario. In 1958, he mo ved to Alberta to work for the Canadian Chemical Plant (Chemcell) where he remained until August, 1970. Roy became a F ederal Civil Servant shortly thereafter when he w as hired into the fledgling Department of t he Environment in Ottawa. In 1973, Roy was transferred back to Edmonton where they lived until after his retirement in 1996. Roy realized a l ong-held dream when he a nd Barbara moved to an acreage west of S tony Plain where he sup ervised the erection of two large radio towers for the transmission of amateur radio messages, achieving contact with people in 303 countries/radio entities.

Roy and Barbara moved to Camrose in 2002 where he lived until his recent death.

Roy had been an active member of the Northern Alberta Sports Car Club. In Edmonton, he spent a great deal of his spare time coaching children’s soccer teams and building model railroads.

Roy is survived by his wife Barbara; his children Diane Sekuloff, Tom (Christy Campbell) and Elaine Nixon (Murray Farness); as well as his grandchildren Ruth, Damien, Ben and Campbell. He also leaves his sister Marian and her husband Ron Gregory; his cousin André (Jacky) Lister; and two nephews in England. He was predeceased by his parents.

A memorial service for Roy will be held at 11:00 a.m., on Saturday, September 10, 2011, at S t. Andrew’s Anglican Church, 4713-50 Street in Camrose.

Marville Skaret who passed away on Sept. 8, 2006 The River

by Chris Brewster A river flows…

Starting as a mere trickle, It gathers speed and volume as it moves along And in its greatness, it branches into creeks and streams…

It feeds the plants and trees along its banks…

And it houses a variety of wildlife.

Yet even a mighty river ends…

But does it ever really end?

It has touched a multitude of living things, And they will thrive and flourish…

For within them The river will always flow.

But through all the tears and heartache, There is one thing that makes me glad, That you chose me to share with you, Those precious years we had.

My lips cannot tell you how I miss you My heart cannot tell you what to say God alone knows how I miss you In a home that is lonesome today.

Your smile is gone forever, And your face I cannot touch, Still I have our precious memories, I love you so very much.

Your gentle ways, your smiling face The twinkle in your eye, Are all the things we hold so close As time goes slipping by.

Music program promotes lifelong learning

By Dan Jensen The Augustana Faculty Conservatory of Music provides lifelong learning and experiences in music to individuals in Camrose and throughout Central East Alberta.

The philosophy of the Conservatory is t o provide quality music education for all ages and for all abilities, seeing musicmaking as an essential part of human existence and wellbeing.

Music with Children The flagship educational experience of the Augustana Conservatory of Music is the Music with Children program.

"It has been praised by music educators and parents alike," states the Augustana website.

Offered by the Augustana Music Conservatory for 24 years, Music with Children provides an environment where children ages three to seven discover music in a natural way through games, songs, rhymes movement and rhythm instruments.

Classes are held one day a week from September through April.

Music with Children instructor Charlene Brown is an active soloist, choral singer

and church musician who also adjudicates at festivals throughout the province of Alberta.

Kindermusik Brown also teaches the Conservatory of Music's Kindermusik program, a classroom learning experience designed for children of 18 months up to three years of age.

"It teaches music so t hat they can become better learners," states the Augustana website. "It's not about making little Mozarts, it's about developing skills in the whole child – cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical. We believe music is the best conduc-

tor for learning. The knowledge that on-going music instruction improves children's academic performance and intelligence is well documented."

Kindermusik's philosophy is founded upon rigorous research and the belief that every child is musical and should have the opportunity to experience the joy, fun and learning which music brings to life.

Music lessons The Augustana Conservatory of Music provides both university for-credit and community non-credit private lessons in brass, classical piano, clarinet, saxophone, flute, recorder, vio-

lin, and voice. As well, Suzuki Recorder, Suzuki Flute and Suzuki Violin lessons (private, with some group activities) as well as instruction in music theory, harmony, and history are available.

Lesson fees vary, depending on the instructor and type of lesson. All playing levels are welcomed.

To register for the University of Alberta Augustana Campus Conservatory of Music, call 780-679-1673, or email Charlene Brown at charlene.brown@ ualberta.ca.

Camrose Army Cadets develop self-esteem, teamwork

By Dan Jensen The 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet squadron in Camrose meets every Tuesday evening at the Community Centre.

Camrose Army Cadets participate in many different activities, including trekking and orienteering, public speaking, leadership training, summer camps, first aid, international trips, camping and survival, music, team sports, military marching and parade.

Everything is done in a fun, friendly, safe environment that will motivate youth to give their best.

"The Cadet Program helps

youth develop self-confidence, self-esteem and teamwork," states the SALH website.

"Other benefits may include high school credits, scholarships and training in public speaking." There are no enrolment or registration fees for Army Cadets, and all basic activities of the Cadet program are covered. " Uniforms are provided at no charge and cadets selected for cadet camps attend at no cost," states the SALH website.

Parents are encouraged to participate in fund=raising on behalf of the local sponsor and League to cover those costs not covered by the Canadian Forces.

Three Army Cadet Corps existed in Camrose prior to 3068 coming into being. These first Corps were established as young men’s associations for drill and training, and were formed as a part of the Camrose School System.

The 453 Normal Practice School Cadet Corps formed on September 30, 1913, and disbanded on June 30, 1946.

The 790 Camrose High School Cadet Corps was formed on October 1, 1919, and disbanded on January 24, 1929. It was reformed on December 16, 1931, and disbanded on February 4, 1942. 1519 Camrose Public School Cadet Corps was formed

on January 15, 1931 and disbanded on June 30, 1947.

In the spring of 2000, 2Lt Brian Backhaus and OCdt Scott O’Neill approached the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #57 for sponsorship of an Army Cadet Corps in Camrose. In an effort to establish a l ink to Camrose’s military heritage, the two sought affiliation with the 19th Alberta Dragoons, a former reserve unit that paraded a t roop in Camrose until it was amalgamated with the South Alberta Light Horse in 1964.

In September of 2000 the Camrose Army Cadets began parading as a satellite platoon

with 1390 RCA (Red Deer) RCACC. On September 1, 2002, 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps was officially stood up.

From 2002 to present the Corps has been led by 2nd Lieutenant Linda Lorente, Lieutenant Cori Boos, Major Bill Hart, CD and Captain Alex Boos, CD. All cadets and adults working with the Cadet Program have the right to be treated with respect and dignity in an environment free of harassment and have the responsibility to treat others the same way.

Cadets are not expected to join the Canadian Forces.

Buffaloes host three competitive football games

By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes hosted the long established Edmonton Seahawks in bantam, peewee and atom football at Kin Park on August 27.

In the first regular season games, the Buffaloes' focus was on playing well and all three teams delivered exciting football.

The bantam squad lost 34-13, but coach Carl Davidse thought the score could have been closer and that the Seahawks took advantage of a couple of big plays.

"Our players played very hard and gave an extraordinary effort all round," said Carl. "Our offense put a g reat drive together in the second quarter. After a shaky start, the defense settled down and played very well all game.

The special teams played well, especially the punt team. They had great coverage."

Carl said the roster can expand until the middle of September and that new players are welcome to join the Buffaloes.

Peewee herd

The peewee team also played well to give them a chance to win the opening game until time ran out. "The Buffaloes played their hearts out. The score could have been far worse than it was. We battled through injury and heat issues and were into the game well into the third quarter," said coach James Kozak.

The final score was 25-12 for the Seahawks.

Atom club

The Edmonton Seahawks defeated Camrose 26-6 to begin the day. "We have a v ery young team, with three-quarters of our

team being first year players, and several of our key players were not able to be at practice this past week," said coach Fitz Sherman.

"One of our key players was also not at the game. It was a v ery steep learning curve for many of our players. I have to admit they did much better than I expected."

The team was led by third year veteran Teryll Sherman, the team's starting quarterback and middle linebacker. He had the team's only touchdown on a 50yard scamper off a broken play.

"Teryll also made several punishing tackles on defense. Other standout players were Tanner Woody, who played centre after only one practice. He also filled in for one series at quarterback and played at running back a nd defensive tackle positions. First year player Hailey McKechnie made several long runs from the running back position and played well on defense. Another first year player, Owen MacPherson, played a solid game from the linebacker position.

Camrose takes on the Wetaskiwin Wolverines in Wetaskiwin on September 10.

"Now that school is just about to start, we will have a full team to practice with and two weeks until we play. I ex pect a m uch better result against Wetaskiwin."

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.

An atom Buffaloes' player is caught from behind during a running play in the regular season opening game in Camrose.

Camrose Buffaloes' running back Au stin Regnier carries the football away from the Edmonton Seahawks' defenders in bantam play at Kin Park. The Buffaloes play a s eries of away games before returning to Camrose in October.

Peewee Buffaloes' player Dawson Weselowski attempts to break away from the circling Edmonton Seahawks' defence at Kin Park on August 28.

City council approves library lease-hold improvements

By Dan Jensen

City council has given the go-ahead to Camrose Public Library for $188,797 in lease-hold improvements.

"We're doing a facelift of the entire building," said Camrose Public Library board chair Anjah Howard in a presentation to Camrose City council Aug. 22.

The renovations will provide room for additional collection materials, enhance the computer stations and social spaces, expand the computer server room and modernize washroom facilities so they are more readily handicap accessible.

"It will consolidate all our technology into a super net room and relocate the staff room," said Howard.

The Camrose Public Library will fund $92,892.08 of the work with its own building mainte-

nance reserve and keep its fingers crossed in hopes that it will be able to access a matching grant from the Community Facility Enhancement Program totalling $92,125.

In-kind donations will total $3,780.

Camrose Public Library conducted a space optimization plan in 2010 to determine how to utilize the existing space and to enhance the facility and services.

"It outlined the strategies we can do to increase our ability to store some of our collection, as well as make the space a social space where people can come in and hang out," said Howard.

Camrose Public Library has made a c ommitment to the City of Camrose not to ask for a new building, even though the current o ne is sm all and has not

experienced any major upgrades or renovations since 1981.

"We have been in this building since 1981," commented Howard.

"The City has experienced 55 per cent growth and the library is experiencing growth at the same level, so we are definitely undersized."

Councillor Daryl Shillington, a m ember of the Camrose Public Library facilities committee along with Howard, said the CFEP grant is very crucial to the completion of the library renovation. He also noted that a facility review conducted by the City in 2000 recommended a new library building by 2011.

"What we are trying to do with this optimization plan is to find effectiveness of service and efficiencies of service and space,

and make the best use of that budgeted space."

Shillington said it might be wise to set the goal of building a new library in 2019, the 100th anniversary of the first library in Camrose.

Howard said there is a l ot of speculation as whether hardcover books will disappear completely or become more prevalent as people can't afford the fancy new technologies such as e-readers. She added that while the new space plan provides plenty of room for computers, it also provides new hard spaces for materials.

"We have 47,000 books and audio visuals in our collection right now and believe it or not we are just now phasing out VHS because it was so popular. People were kind of upset that we were taking away the VHS."

Howard said that in addition to becoming places where people can access technology, libraries are becoming social spaces.

"They are one of the last places you can go a nd hang out all day for free, so we are trying to promote areas that give you quiet time for reading but also social spaces, where you can get together with friends."

Camrose Public Library serves an estimated 20,934 people in the City of Camrose and surrounding villages, as well as parts of Camrose County. In 2010 the library had 6,953 patrons with library cards.

In addition to lending books, the library provides exam proctoring, meeting room rentals, reference services, home service, internet service and free computer assistance and training.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Premium on-road performance, versatility

By Dan Jensen

The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee at Camrose Chrysler delivers premium on-road performance while maintaining the Jeep brand's legendary four-wheeldrive, torque on demand, two-speed transfer case and unsurpassed towing capability.

"It hits the sweet spot of premium on-road performance and legendary class-leading Jeep capability," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier.

On road handling The all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is built on a proven rear-wheel drive unibody platform sharing the sale underpinnings as the Mercedes Benz ML. "Jeep invented the SUV segment and the all-new Grand Cherokee is the next step in the evolution of the SUV," said Mercier.

The new Quadra-Lift air suspension system features five height settings for optimum ride performance.

Normal Ride Height, with 8.1 inches of clearance, offers improved fuel economy and improved aerodynamics during on-road driving.

Off-road 1 lifts the vehicle an additional 1.5 inches for added height in clearing obstacles (9.6 inches).

Off-road 2 delivers legendary Jeep off-road capability and provides an additional three inches of height for 11.1 inches of ground clearance.

Park Mode lowers the vehicle 1.5 inches from the normal ride height for easy ingress/egress.

Aero Mode lowers the vehicle .6 inches from normal ride height. Aero mode is controlled by vehicle speed and adjusts for optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

Quadra-Lift adds up to 4.5 inches of lift span that is supported by four corner air springs that provide a cushioned, premium ride. Quadra Lift operates automatically, or may be c ontrolled manually via console controls.

In addition to the Quadra-Lift air suspension, the all-new Selec-Terrain traction control system lets Jeep Grand Cherokee owners choose the off-road setting for the optimum experience on all terrain. This feature automatically coordinates up to 12 d ifferent powertrain, braking and suspension systems, including throttle control, transmission shift, transfer case, Traction Control and Electronic Stability Control. The control dial allows the drivers to choose from five driving conditions: sand/mud, sport, auto, snow and rock.

With the front air dam removed and the available Quadra-Lift air suspension, the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee features a 35.9 degree approach angle (compared to the previous 32.3).

The all-new independent front and rear suspension features isolated front and rear suspension cradles.

Variable-rate rear springs deliver improved on-road handling and comfort that complements the vehicle's off-road capability. The new rear suspension allows the

spare tire to be stored inside the vehicle as opposed to underneath.

Go anywhere 4x4 The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers three 4x4 systems.

Quadra Trac I delivers full-time four-wheel-drive without any switches or levers to pull. The lightweight single-speed transfer case is both proven and highly efficient for enhanced fuel economy.

Quadra Trac II's two-speed transfer case uses input from a variety of sensors in order to determine tire slip at the earliest possible moment and take corrective action.

Quadra Drive II, with rear Electronic Limited-Slip Differential delivers industry-leading tractive capability. The system instantly detects tire slip and smoothly distributes engine torque to tires with traction. In some cases the vehicle will anticipate low traction and adjust in order to proactively limit or eliminate slip.

Powertrains The Jeep Grand Cherokee's standard engine is an all-new flexible fuel 3.6 litre Pentastar V-6. It features Variable-Valve Timing (VVT) and delivers 280 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine provides fuel economy up to 11 per cent compared to the previous Grand Cherokee equipped with a V-6. It is coupled with a proven five-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth shifts and optimum fuel economy.

The available legendary 5.7 litre HEMI V-8 delivers 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,250 rpm.

The HEMI also features VVT, which delivers performance and towing capability, as well as fuel efficiency with the Multi-displacement System.

The all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee offers unsurpassed trailer tow capability of 7,400 lbs. on 4x2 models when equipped with a HEMI engine.

Refined interior The all-new interior features rich materials and

elegant appointments, as well as more room for both passengers and cargo.

An available all-new CommandView dualpane sun roof provides twice as much glass surface than a standard sun roof and extends from the windshield to the rear of the vehicle.

The front panel may be opened rearward, proMike Rodin viding additional light Camrose Chrysler and fresh air to firstrow passengers,. The rear panel, which is fixed, allows light and open viewing for second-row passengers and comes standard with a power sun shade.

Larger front door openings and rear doors open 78 degrees, compared to the 67 degrees of previous models.

Premium seating includes room for five passengers. An available fold-flat front passenger seat provides improved cargo storage room.

For added passenger comfort, rear seats recline 12 degrees. There is also a 12-degree forward angle to allow 24 degrees of variation.

Cargo volume behind the second-row provides an additional 6.8 cubic feet of room compared to the previous model.

Connectivity Jeep Grand Cherokee's standard uconnect guardian provides customers with the top five requested security features: automatic crash notification, emergency call, roadside assistance call, remote door unlock and stolen vehicle location assistant. The Jeep Grand Cherokee also features SIRIUS Travel Link, which gives drivers up-to-the-minute information about gas prices, weather conditions, sports scores and movie listings.

You can see the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee at Camrose Chrysler, on Highway 13 East.

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.

So this fall, colours such as grey, beige, chlorophyll green, peacock blue and berry red can be found everywhere you look.

Textures and shapes are also inspired by nature; the effect of light and shadow play on many

of the patterns and prints. Blends of wool, organic cotton, brushed cotton, denim, corduroy, velvet and fake fur wrap our children in warmth and softness.

Multi-layering is as popular as ever, particularly during the fall when temperatures drop and cool winds prevail. Dresses, checked skirts, shirts worn with leggings or jeans, and woollen sweaters draped around the shoulders are all worn in a folksy, romantic style. A sleeveless vest

can be added when necessary as well as all those other seasonal accessories: scarf or shawl, hat, belt, purses, boots and pantyhose.

For her as well as for him, woollens are omnipresent. These range from fine knits with animal prints to thicker woollens with jacquard patterns. The same applies to the sleeveless vest with a fur collar, or the same vest in comfortable cotton fleece; it all depends on the weather.

Find the right fun activity Today's kids are busier than ever before. Be it the increasingly competitive nature of scholastic life or the increase of two-income households where kids need something to do other than come directly home after school, children today are much busier than their school-aged counterparts of yesteryear.

While it can be fun and beneficial for kids to participate in extracurricular activities, finding the right fit isn't as easy as it sounds. When helping kids find an extracurricular activity, it's best to consider a host of factors.

Especially keep in mind that not all kids are the same with respect to interests. And what was enjoyed by their parents won't necessarily be enjoyed by them.

Getting Started

The best place to start is t o speak to kids about their interests. Just because Dad loved playing football doesn't mean Junior is destined to be a gridiron great.

Kids have their own interests, and those interests can be cultivated with the right extracurricular activity. For example, a c reative child might enjoy an after-school art class a c ouple of times per week. Parents should also consider extracurriculars that can help kids grow as people. For instance, a child who's shy in public but loves hamming it up at home might embrace an after-school theater program.
