Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre is again the successful recipient of a Tree Canada greening or reforestation grant. This year, on Tuesday, September 20, 60 more trees will be planted on the perimeter of Camrose Minor Soccer fields in Rudy Swanson Park. This is the third consecutive year that the Hauser team with volunteer help has worked with Tree Canada to volunteer in planting trees bordering local soccer pitches. In the previous two years, Hauser staff and a variety of partners have planted 120 trees!
National Tree Plant Day in Canada is September 21, 2011.
Providing assistance to the Hauser staff in this impressive undertaking on this day will be The Camrose Junior A Kodiaks, The City of Camrose, Camrose Minor Soccer Association and Forster Nurseries. Tree Canada’s established goals with initiatives such as this project include: cleaner air, increased wildlife habitat, additional connectivity with nature and reduced demand on energy consumption. This program has allowed for the beautification and desirability of the green space of the City of Camrose.

Poker fundraiser to help local veterans who are in need By Dan Jensen
Sisters Michelle Selman and Bonnie LaVallee are teaming up with the Royal Canadian Legion to help local vets. "We're going to be holding a Camrose Texas Holden Charity P oker Tournament at the Legion Saturday, Nov. 5, to try to raise some funds," said LaVallee. "We're depending on the generosity of the community and the support of others to make it a success." Money raised will assist with the purchase of headstones for the graves of veterans, wheel-
chairs, medical supplies, or any other supports and supplies that veterans may need. "As the population in our community ages, our local veterans are looking more and more to their community for the needed supports they require," said Legion president Bill Hart. "Federal and provincial funding is l imited and is not currently meeting their needs." The shortage of funds has meant that there are now six graves of veterans in the Camrose cemetery that are currently without headstones. "The government only
allocates funding for two headstones a year," said LaVallee. "The Legion doesn't have the money to cover them. In fact, they are telling everyone who comes in looking for assistance to call a t oll-free number." LaVallee and Selman are granddaughters of veterans. "It is important to us, so we decided we would volunteer our time and energy to support this local cause," said LaVallee. "The money won't be going towards building p urposes or anything like that." Hart feels the event is a way for the community to stand
beside the veterans and support them in their time of need. "There is no better way to show our appreciation for their sacrifices. "All things add up to a large sacrifice." Tickets for the Camrose Texas Holdem Charity Tournament, which include 6,000 in tournament chips and a supper, may be purchased at the Royal Canadian Legion in Camrose or through Northern Lights Poker League site managers until November 1. All tickets that are purchased on or before Oct. 15 will qualify for a d raw to have his or her entry fee returned.
LaVallee or Selman have not set a goal for how much they would like to raise. "I think when you set a limit then once you reach that limit you tend to put in less effort," said LaVallee. "I would like to see the community go at this full force right to the end and then see that way what we can accomplish. The way I l ook at things, the more we can help the better." Businesses or individuals that are willing to help in any way are encouraged to call Selman at 780-672-4184 or LaVallee at 780-608-2472.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler
Who will tie our shoe laces if we run out of velcro? I think it was about forty years ago that students were first permitted to use calculators in the classroom; as I recall, it was at the grade seven level. At t he time, students were delighted but a number of adults thought it might be a bad idea. Even though calculators were in general use in offices everywhere at the time, those who used them had learned how to calculate without them; they had a so lid knowledge of arithmetic – how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, convert decimals to fractions and vice versa; they knew ‘times tables’ and could actually do what the calculator was doing. The fear was that with calculators in the classroom, there would be less intensive drill in calculating exercises, students would become too reliant on technology and soon forget how to calculate without technical aids. Now, a c ouple of generations later, I b elieve that the skeptics’ fears were well-founded. With several decades of experience in a business office, I have interviewed applicants for positions that have required mathematical skills. All interviewees had minimum Grade twelve diplomas but most had some post-secondary bookkeeping/accounting training as well. Over the years I h ave noticed a ge neral decline in numeracy skills. For example, virtually all interviewees today can quickly say that 10% of 100 is 10 even without a calculator; however, very few of these same people, given pen and paper, can calculate 6% of $12.72; it is amazing to me that so many of this group seem to have no idea how to get the answer. One might ask if that matters because all offices, institutions and industries are well equipped with calculators, computers, programmed robots and no end of automated devices. Yes, it matters a lot if any of these devices malfunction and the operator doesn’t notice an obvious error, or has no idea of how to take command and make corrections. When construction specifications are miscalculated and not caught, bridges fall down and kill people, condos are discovered to be structurally unsafe and leave residents homeless; airplanes crash when the auto pilot quits at 37,000 feet up in the sky and real live human pilots don't know what to do. In spite of the above comments, let me say that I a m grateful for the many, many ways in which technology has enhanced our general well-being. I w ill even admit that a calculator is probably more reliable than the human mind for accuracy. In spite of pilot error having been named the cause of tragic airline crashes, I still believe air travel, per passenger mile, is the safest mode of travel. So why the fuss? I think we will rue the day that the power goes off, the automated devices fail, and we discover that we have become so sophisticated that we don’t have enough people who can operate all our neat technological stuff! Who will tie our shoe laces if we run out of velcro?

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Dear Editor: I have been asked several times by a local pharmacy technician to write into The Booster about the traffic in Duggan Mall. Apparently, people drive therein at unacceptable speeds. Reportedly, they have bumped and dented cars repeatedly, and they never stop to accept responsibility caused by their actions. It sounds to me as that if such young people had enough on their minds to keep them occupied, they would not have time for such trickery. Young people today get everything handed to them on a golden platter. The law is against disciplinary actions by parents or school authorities. The strap or switch is outlawed, and if the authorities use force they could land up in jail for their actions. What is the world coming to? What kind of kids are we raising? I t hink that the situation on Duggan Mall should be looked at by authorities and if the reports are correct, these kinds of actions should be stopped, and now. Mary E. Ringwall Warke Camrose Dear Editor: Are Canada's immigration policies hurting Alberta's economy? A council chaired by Premier Ed Stelmach released a report on May 19, saying "An impending labour shortage is Alberta's "single greatest threat to economic competitiveness." Alberta has a shortage of 75,000 workers. A lberta's Minister of Employment and Immigration, Thomas Lukaszuk says that the shortage of workers is going to extend to Western Canada for several years, and that employers can't find workers at competitive wages. Instead of allowing more workers in, the federal government increased the already stringent requirements for
immigrants, and also decreased the quota, as of July 1. Entrepreneurs (except for farmers) and investors have been halted. There are only 29 occupations that qualify, all in the "skilled and professional" category. The past has shown that immigrants are generally willing to take lower skilled jobs that Albertans don't want, and therefore do not take jobs away from residents. Canadian rules do not allow immigrants in those lower-skilled categories. Bringing in temporary workers is no solution for them or for businesses. "Temporary foreign workers" must leave their families behind because our laws don't allow family members to come here. In essence the family is h eld hostage in the home country to ensure that the workers leave Canada when their visa is up. The separation is d ifficult for families. "Temporary workers" cause an extra expense to businesses because they eventually lose these employees and then have to start over, usually with another "temporary worker." Decreased immigration affects everyone, even the "average joe." People have more stress because there is extra workload. The level of service is l ess at places you go, and wait times are longer. The tax burden is more because there are fewer people who pay taxes. When employers can't find workers at competitive wages, prices of goods and services go up. Bringing in more workers has a p ositive effect on housing (and construction). Schools, retail businesses, service businesses, all sectors of the economy.are stimulated when there are more workers. Immigration rules seem to be slanted more and more in favor of European applicants. We must remember that EVERYONE here is descended from immigrants, except for First Nations people, and the majority of Canadians have been here for only one or two generations. There are many people from non-European countries who wish to immigrate to Canada, but the current rules do not allow them in. These people may have a different skin color than earlier immigrants, but most are just as willing to work hard as in order to be able to live (and pay taxes) in this wonderful country. The Canadian Minister of
Citizenship, Immigration, and Multiculturalism (Jason Kenney), will be in Camrose on Wednesday Sept 14th, at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon. This is a rare chance to explore the economic and moral issues regarding Canada's immigration policies with one of the policy makers. Grace Hope Camrose Dear Editor: Canadian farmers feed the world, and they deserve the freedom to make their own business decisions. As I have said from the start, no expensive survey can obstruct Western Canadian grain farmers from having the same rights as farmers in other parts of Canada and around the world. This week, the CWB will announce the results of their expensive survey. The Board will say the results give legitimacy to their travelling road show, fear mongering and defeatist approach. The Board will insist that only a percentage, namely the percentage that supports them, have the right to choose how everyone markets their grain. Mr. Oberg will say that without a monopoly to control farmers, the grain industry will shrivel up and cease to exist. Farmers know better. Farmers know that both the ballot question and distribution list were seriously flawed. The CWB refuses to recognize that every farmer, regardless of whether they support the monopoly or not, should be able to choose how they market their grain. The Board will fail to remember that even their own survey this spring said that when given the choice between a single desk, dual market, and open market, 58 per cent chose either a dual market or an open market. Our Government's top priority is the economy in which the agriculture industry plays a v ital role. We know that an open market will attract investment, innovation and value-added jobs. Farmers can be confident that our Government will continue to work with the entire value chain to ensure a smooth transition to Western Canadian grain marketing freedom. Agriculture Minister, Gerry Ritz
Battle River School Division selects executive for the coming year The Battle River School Division board of trustees held its annual organizational meeting on Aug. 25. At that meeting, the board selects its executive for the coming year, appoints trustees to committee roles and sets the meeting schedule for the year ahead.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER September 13, 2011
Chamber installs new president By Dan Jensen
Camrose Resort Casino general manager Dawn Anderson was installed as the new Camrose Chamber of Commerce president Sept. 7. She will serve in the position for the next 18 months. Anderson told Chamber members if they want to see change they have to be part of the change. "You can only expect from your community what you put into it," she said. "If you are involved in your community you get to know people and you get involved. If you step back a nd sit back you are not going to see much come your way." Jennifer Filip and Tanya Fox are the Chamber's first vice president and second vice president respectively. The past president is Shauna Feth. Small Business Week banquet Oct. 19
The Camrose Chamber of Commerce will be holding its annual Small Business Week banquet at the Bailey Theatre Oct. 19. A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of awards for Small Business of the Year, Business Excellence, Community Spirit, Ambassador of the Year, and Franchise Business of the Year. The Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED) will be presenting its 2011 Business Appreciation Award.
Busy summer for train
The Chamber's Mirror Lake Express train had a b usy summer. "We were scheduled to appear in 43 events and we were able to participate in 32 of them," said train committee spokesperson Tom Chelmick. The Chamber received a one time train grant of $15,000 from the City of Camrose, as well as $5,000 from Camrose County. The train will be making its last appearance of the season at the Canadian Hot Air Balloon
Championships September 21 to 25. Signs ready to go
The Chamber's 100th anniversary sign project is a lmost at completion. "The signs will be installed around Mirror Lake by the middle or the end of October," said Anderson. The signs will identify the estimated location of and provide information about former Camrose landmarks, including Ole Bakken's homestead (by the current Mirror Lake Park gazebo), the first coal-fired power plant
(just west of the regional school division office), the original highway crossing of Mirror Lake, the original water treatment plant, and the trenches where World War I soldiers were trained. Businesses can have their logo placed on the signs for an indefinite time period for as little as $200. "They are made by Windwood Signs and should last an extremely long time," said Anderson. More information on the sponsorship opportunities may be obtained by calling the Camrose Chamber of Commerce office at 780-672-4217.
Chamber accepting award nominations By Dan Jensen
Six awards for business achievement will be presented at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce's 26th annual Small Business Week banquet Oct. 19. The event will be held in the Bailey Theatre.

The Camrose County released legacy grants funds to the Bashaw and District Support Services (BDSS) early. Kristie Vallet of the BDSS attended council last month to request that the $17,561 that has been set aside to be allocated. "Some businesses didn't pledge as much as they had indicated and we would still like to build a p layground, have sidewalks and some signage," said Kristie. "We received some funds, just not the amount we were verbally told." County assistant administrator Al Radke said, "They have a sh ort fall of $26,452, so they are requesting the funds to cover some of those costs." Some councillors questioned the fact that, the plans went ahead, despite the lack of funding in place. "I'm a little disappointed that a community group goes out and spends money that they hadn't received," said councillor Brian Austrom. "Now we are being asked to come up with the funds. This will still leave you with a $6,000 to $8,000 short fall. This causes me concern because it appears that we are now bailing BDSS out, because someone has spent money. Another concern I h ave is that the school board is not involved. I'm n ot opposed, but we don't want to look like we are bailing BDSS out." The legacy grant, through the recreation budget, usually covers up to 25 per cent of the project. In total, the BDSS request came in at about 25.6 per cent. "We have the funding for the legacy grant in place and it is in our budget," said councillor Doug Lyseng. "This is a worthwhile project and if it is just a matter of releasing it early, then I have no problem with that." The total cost of the building project of the BDSS facility came in at about $254,000. Approximately $222,000 was received in grants and the BDSS was raising funds to complete the project. "We have received tremendous support, despite the shortfall. The people in the community have come through for us, said Kristie. The previous building had reports of mould in the day care area and a n ew facility or extensive renovations had to be completed. The council agreed to release the County Legacy Grant in the amount of $17,561 to the Bashaw and District Support Services for the construction of the playground in phase 2 o f the plan.

Second Thought By Ingrid Urberg Scandinavian Studies. Augustana Campus University of Alberta “There is so little that has already not been said.” These are the opening words of the speech given by King Harald of Norway on August 21 at a ceremony commemorating the dual attacks on the Norwegian people the month before. The attacks – a b ombing and shootings perpetrated by Anders Behring Breivik – t ook 77 lives, many of them young. Some analysts have called this speech the most moving of King Harald’s reign. The power of the speech emanated from the way in which he convincingly empathized and stood in solidarity with the Norwegian people, stating that as a father, grandfather, husband, and not least king he could identify with and feel for all Norwegians. The King’s expression of solidarity was representative of the response of Norwegian society as a w hole to the massacre, and it is worth reflection and attention. Three days after the killings, an estimated 200,000 people of all ages, and from the many diverse ethnic groups that now make up Norway, gathered outside Oslo City Hall with roses in hand to collectively voice their opposition to the acts of violence carried out on the most traumatic day in Norway since the invasion by Nazi forces on April 9, 1940, and to show their support for the victims and their families. Similar gatherings were held all over Norway on a smaller scale. The North Americans I have spoken to who attended the Oslo event commented on how orderly people were, and how safe they felt. While some visitors to Norway were initially concerned about the possibility of civil unrest and riots, most Norwegians assumed that the gathering would be peaceful. High profile dignitaries were in attendance and stood with, rather than separated from, the huge crowd. Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Crown Prince Haakon Magnus were among the speakers. While the words they spoke were powerful, they were strengthened by where the speakers were standing, physically among the people
who were gathered. As Stoltenberg said, “People throughout the country are standing at this moment shoulder to shoulder ... I am exceedingly thankful to live in a c ountry where people in a time of crisis take to the streets with flowers and candles to embrace democracy and to honour and remember those we have lost.” Poetry and songs about solidarity have also played a large role in public expressions of grief in Norway since July 22; a reminder that art can play a role in helping individuals and societies cope with loss and acts of violence. Poetry written around and during WWII has been frequently quoted and sung, sometimes collectively, at public gatherings and funerals during this time. Herbjørg Kråkevik’s musical rendition of Nordahl Grieg’s “To Youth” (Til ungdommen) (1936) and Halldis Moren Vesaas’ poem “Speech of Troubled Times” (Tung tids tale) (1945) are but two examples. Though words such as “It isn’t about me any longer, from now on it is about us.” (Vesaas), and “Here is your protection against violence – fa ith in the value of human life.” (Grieg) were written decades ago, they still offer meaning today. As the Norwegians enter into an election campaign while continuing to deal with this tragedy, it is now time for them to stand firm in their support for and commitment to democracy, free speech, social justice, and multiculturalism, making sure that such a tragedy does not occur again and confronting discrimination and racism in all its forms. We can be hopeful that the spirit of solidarity will continue to prevail as immigration policy – o ne of the most pressing and divisive issues in Western Europe today – is d iscussed, and that the dialogue is constructive and respectful. Making sure dialogue takes place in this spirit is yet another manifestation of solidarity – something that we should all hope and strive for in our lives and communities.

Council defers projects in order to trim deficit By Dan Jensen
The scissors were out at City council's Sept. 6 committee of the whole meeting. Council deferred to 2012 the redevelopment of the inactive Valleyview campground, the placement of signs along the Camrose trails, the installation of a HVAC system at the Max McLean Arena and upgrades to the Charlie Killam School playfields and courts. The deferrals will save the City $107,000 – money that will be used to fund the 2011 operating deficit. "We are working hard to minimize the impact of the deficit caused mainly by the heavy snowfall we experienced earlier this year," said Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers. "We are looking for cost savings wherever we can." Surplus
The deficit will also be funded with $600,000 from accumulated surplus. "An accumulated surplus can be considered as a rainy day account/savings account," said general manager financial services Diane Urkow in a re port presented to council. "Actual operating results from previous years have generated an accumulated surplus of $2.7 million." Shortfalls
A report from Engineering Services last February estimated an over-expenditure of $697,000 on snow removal and ice control costs, and suggested funding sources include carefully managing the operating deficit and existing accumulated surplus. A second quarter report showed there were additional areas of concern that would add to the deficit, including the City manager's severance, decline in building permit revenue and police sale of materials. Urkow noted that administration makes every effort when preparing the budget to estimate the next year's revenues and expenses as reasonably as possible. "Revenues are budgeted conservatively as there is limited or no assurance of receiving this revenue. Some years revenues exceed the budget and contribute to a surplus and other years the revenue is sh ort and contributes to a deficit. Expendi-
tures are budgeted to maintain the services approved by council during the budget process, however there are many factors, including weather and economy that can change or occur during the year that have a significant impact on the operations of the City. These factors are not panned and are unpredictable, and can have either positive or negative impact on the budget." Camrose City council approved $31 million in operating expenses last December, with $15.8 million of those being for salaries, benefits and equipment charges, $2.5 million for debt repayment, $1.7 million for utility costs, $2.9 million for capital projects or reserves for future capital replacement, $1.27 for various community organizations and $7 million was budgeted for materials, supplies, contractors, insurance, office expenses and maintenance of facilities. "There is very little room to manipulate the budget without reducing services or risking the long-term health of the City's infrastructure," said Urkow. Mayor Chalmers said there are a lot of tough decisions that will have to be made during the 2012 budget deliberations. "We are committed at this time to providing the same level of services and not increasing taxes, but we know that we are not out of this economic downturn quite yet. We believe that we are on the upswing and that things are starting to come, but our community, and a lot of other communities like ours has not felt that yet." Council is go ing into 2012 budget discussions with administration with the assumption that new assessment growth will be utilized to offset pressure on the mill rate, that provincial and federal funding will remain the same as it was in 2011. It has directed that requests for new resources, programs and staff be accompanied by justification, including linkage to the Municipal Sustainability Plan and the strategic priorities of Going Forward: the Roadmap to 2015. Final decisions made by council will be incorporated into the final capital and operating budgets, with expectations that the budgets will be accepted by the end of 2011.

Fund-raiser for Klinck By Dan Jensen
A Rough Stock event will be held at the Bashaw Rodeo Grounds Sept. 17 to assist an area stock contractor and rodeo contestant. Nicholas Klinck was in an auto accident two weeks ago that left him with a b roken leg and ankle, as well as a crushed left foot. He has already spent 19 hours in surgery and has more to come before he starts his rehab at the Glenrose Hospital in Edmonton. "He's very well known in the world of rodeo, so we are hoping for a good turnout," said Laurel Hoff. "Everything we make after paying the prizes and other expenses will go to him." Rough Stock events will include bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback riding and mini bulls. Total prize money up for grabs is dependent on sponsorships, but could exceed $10,000. "The more sponsors we get the less our expenses will be and the more we can give to Nicholas," said Hoff. The Rough Stock event will get underway at 1:00 and conclude that night with a dance. More information may be obtained by calling Laurel Hoff at 780-608-0179, Becky Hoff at 780-855-2669, or Huston Stuart at 403-896-7604.

Werner chosen for mentorship program Carla Werner, a re sident of Camrose, has been selected by million-copy best-selling author Shannon Ethridge to participate in an online mentorship program called BLAST: Building Leaders, Authors, Speakers & Teachers. Werner’s ultimate goal is to learn how to teach women about God’s love for them. She is a lso eager to learn about writing books, getting published, and becoming a more confident speaker. “I feel that BLAST will be the best foundation I can get in order to learn and execute these skills in the future," she said. "I a m really looking forward to learning from such an accomplished woman (Ethridge) and hope I can follow in her footsteps one day!” With two decades of speaking experience and 18 successful

books in both the Christian and mainstream markets, Ethridge delights in coaching aspiring writers and speakers. "These valuable hands-on learning experiences can make a big difference as they pursue their publishing and speaking dreams," she said. Unlike typical writers' conferences, BLAST stretches over a 12-month period, providing students with focused time to implement what they learn and truly hone their craft. Ethridge explains, “It’s not just lectures. It’s a laboratory. Students like Carla will be creating videos, critiquing others’ work, and learning to gain the respect of potential publishers and editors.” As the economy has been shaken, so h as the publishing world. According to Ethridge, the expectation placed on new authors is higher than ever. “Publishers are simply not willing to take risks on authors who don’t know how to market themselves. The days of submitting a manuscript and expecting them to do the rest are over.” From blogging and newsletters to branding and social media, Ethridge will be showing students how to utilize every available tool in reaching potential readers and publishers. They’ll also learn the art of creating (or enlarging) a speaking platform, marketing their message, and generating income from speaking engagements. As an internationally soughtafter speaker, Ethridge says she’s frequently asked how she got started. “It certainly wasn’t easy,” she says. “I only wish I’d had a program like this.”

The 2011 Alberta Survey on Physical Activity reports that 54 per cent of adult Albertans are physically active enough to receive health benefits. This is down from 58.5 per cent in 2009. Dr. John Spence, a co-author of the survey and senior research associate at the Alberta Centre for Active Living, said, “Although the decrease in activity since 2009 is n ot statistically significant on its own, there is a d ownward trend over the last four years. The downward trend is not unique to Alberta; it’s also happening across Canada.” The survey also found that: 75 per cent of Albertans would use a provincial adult fitness tax credit if one was available, with higher income Albertans more likely to use the fitness tax credit than lower income Albertans. Albertans achieve a m oderate amount of physical activity by walking. They do most of their walking during leisure time, followed by walking while at work, and then by walking as a form of transportation. Dr. Tanya Berry, a s urvey co-author and a R esearch Associate at the Alberta Centre for Active Living said, “More Albertans need to be more physically active on a reg ular basis, especially in the face of current chronic disease statistics, and today’s increasingly sedentary lifestyles.” Berry added, “Physical activity has considerable positive impact on a p erson’s health and quality of life. Even going for a half-hour walk on most days can make a d ifference for most people.”
Canada World Youth returns, needs homes By Murray Green
The Canada World Youth (CWY) program is seeking Camrose homes to host South African and Canadian visitors. From September 30th to December 12th, Camrose will be hosting a g roup of 17 CWY volunteers from South Africa and other parts of Canada. The volunteers’ two and a half month stay in the community will be the second phase of their educational program, where they live in pairs with host families and volunteer in both countries. "We need host families as soon as possible because we have to communicate with them what is expected and line up extra beds," said Tif McNaughton, the interim project coordinator for Canada World Youth. "We are at the crunch time. We need one home for three people and the rest will be in pairs. Ideally, we would like an extra back-up home in place, in case of an emergency if a family can't host during part of the time." The hosts provide meals and transportation for their guests. "The youth are not allowed to drive, so t ransportation to their volunteer assignments are key. Camrose is small enough to walk, but we are arranging for bicycles for them to use. The weather in the fall can be unpredictable so sometimes we can work out car pooling," said Tif. "The youth volunteer three times a week, get together with other youth in group sessions and will have time to spend with their host family. The participants are here to learn from their host fam-

Hosts are provided with a cost allowance of $84 per week per participant to offset the cost of hosting. "Participants get involved in family life, the fun stuff, and the chores too. Hosting can be a rewarding experience for a fa mily and can be very impactful for participants." Erin Rennie, who recently finished a program between Perth, Ontario, and Gracias, Honduras, said, “Living with a family gave me and my counterpart a unique insight into life in small town Canada. I learned so much from them about the major political, social, environmental and economic issues in the community. I enjoyed hearing about their experiences, their memories and their opinions. In the end, I left not only with a deeper insight into my own country, but also with a whole new family with whom I remain in close contact today.” Tif wants the group to learn about Camrose and take some of the information back to their community. "We want them to learn about volunteering and helping their community. It has changed over generations. People don't have as much time to volunteer now, but if everyone volunteers an hour or two a week it can make a difference." Anyone interested in hosting can contact Tif McNaughton at tificusminimus@ gmail.com or 780-679-2209. If someone wants to volunteer, but not host, they can contact Tif as well. Continued on page 22

Lorene Mae (Fabrizius) Pinno Lorene was born in WaKeeney, Kansas, on May 14, 1935 to Marie and William Fabrizius. She became a member of the Body of Christ through baptism on June 9, 1935 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in WaKeeney and confirmed her f aith there on April 10, 1949. Because her parents were divorced in 1937, her mo ther, with the support of her extended family, became the chief caregiver for Lorene and her sister, Twila Marie. Her mother fulfilled her b aptismal vows by regularly taking Lorene to worship, Sunday School, Confirmation instruction and Vacation Bible School. This early training and encouragement set the foundation for Lorene’s growth in faith and active participation in the church, especially in musical and teaching ministries. To participate in Bible study and fellowship, she became one of the youngest members of the women’s organization in one Kansas congregation. Lorene attended grade school and high school in WaKeeney. She e specially enjoyed the study of h istory, political science, languages and participation in choirs, ensembles, solo opportunities, and concert band. In her high school commencement exercises, Lorene delivered the Salutatory Address, and sang “The Lord’s Prayer” as a solo. When Lorene neared the completion of high school with the necessary academic qualifications for university but inadequate financial means, a ca ring teacher investigated possibilities for her t o attend university. His efforts resulted in coverage of a ll expenses, except toothpaste, for four years of university education through a p rogram in the State of K ansas Rehabilitation Services For The Blind. She attended the University of Kansas, then transferred to the University of Wichita where she received a B. A. in Speech Therapy and Special Education and pursued graduate studies. As a r esult of her W ichita studies, Lorene graduated Magna Cum Laude on June 1, 1958. Lorene served as a s peech therapist and teacher of me ntally challenged children in Oxford, Kansas, followed by providing speech therapy in a school in Concordia, Kansas. In 1964, through a series of miraculous circumstances, God called Lorene to serve as a volunteer teacher of English in a Lutheran Mission school in what is now the country of Papua New Guinea. Although Lorene was legally blind, the Board of World Mission of the American Lutheran Church carefully considered her application and sent her a call which she a ccepted. In Concordia, Kansas, she was commissioned for service and arrived
at Asaroka Lutheran Area School in New Guinea in August, 1964. At Asaroka she met Erha rd Pinno who had arrived from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, in July, 1964. They were married on December 11, 1965 in the Asaroka chapel. Together, they served there from mid-1964 to the end of 1966 and again from June, 1971 to April 30, 1977. From 1967 to June, 1971, they lived in Regina, Saskatchewan, where Lorene was a speech therapist in the Regina Public schools while Erhard completed studies for an M.A. in Canadian History. During 1977-78 they lived in Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, West Germany, where Erhard was employed with the Missionswerk of the Bavarian Lutheran Church. When they returned to Canada in August, 1978, Saskatoon became their base from which they visited 144 congregations in Canada telling the story of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Papua, New Guinea. In June, 1979, Erhard became Director of Admissions at Camrose Lutheran College. For 32 years they enjoyed their life in Camrose and especially the joy of b eing members of Messiah Lutheran Church. Lorene took the opportunity to join in some of Messiah’s music ministries and was an active member of the Messiah World Mission Group. Not only did Lorene participate in the activities of the women at Messiah, at the time of her d eath she was President of t he Messiah Lutheran Women. In the community, Lorene enjoyed sharing her gift of singing with residents of care facilities, and used her professional skills to teach Missions at CLBI, and ESL to Vietnamese refugees. On December 15, 1997, Lorene was given an anonymous gift of a k idney which added years to her life. Lorene died on Sunday, September 4, 2011 at 9:05 p.m. in Erhard’s loving arms and in the presence of loved ones and friends. Lorene was preceded in death by her sister Twila, her mo ther Marie, and father William. She is survived by Erhard, her beloved husband of 46 years, by numerous cousins, Erhard’s family and many friends. A prayer service was held on Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. from the Burgar Memorial Chapel. Funeral services were held on T hursday, September 8, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. from the Messiah Lutheran Church with Bev Swanson and Rev. Laverne Hoveland officiating. Interment took place in the Camrose Cemetery.

County donates grader time Camrose County council agreed to provide the Ohaton Athletic Association with grader time for the construction of an outdoor arena. The project in Ohaton includes the removal of the old rink site and construction of a new arena that could be used throughout the year. The association asked for $7,100 worth of goods and services on top of about $37,500 it received through a legacy grant. The request asks for 65 yards of gravel, which includes the transportation. The request also asked for the machines and labour to help with the project. Ohaton would like to construct an arena that has a cement floor for both ice and for holding summer events. After reviewing what the County has done in the past for local groups, council agreed to provide some gravel and grader time. "The Round Hill and Armena outdoor skating rinks didn't receive this kind of support," said councillor Vern Peterson. Several other councillors agreed. Councillor Doug Lyseng reported that previous arena projects received four hours of grader time and no gravel. Councillor Brian Austrom then altered his motion. The County will send a letter in support of the Ohaton Athletic Association to apply to the Community Initiatives Program. Camrose County will also donate a maximum of four hours of grader time to the association relative to the construction of a multiseason outdoor skating rink facility project. It will also be used as basketball courts and community events.

Presenting a cheque for that amount to CAFCL executive director Esther McDonald was Rotary Club of C amrose president Patrice Johnson.
The young adults will be embarking on an adventure to become motivated, informed global citizens, and to inspire local youth in both of the communities to engage in the spirit of community development and volunteerism. The volunteers are paired up, one South African with one Canadian, in teams called a counter-part pair. The youth will be actively learning about both South African and Canadian culture as they live with local host families who open their hearts and homes to assist these young leaders gain an international perspective. The volunteers are all very dedicated to making a d ifference in their own communities, around the world and will be spending their time volunteering with local organizations. The friendships are life-long learning opportunities. A 40th year anniversary celebration will likely take place in October.

QUALITY
DUCTION SHADOW FURTHER RE
Deb Cryderman By Dan Jensen
New head librarian Deb Cryderman wants the community to look at Camrose Public Library as an extension of their personal living room. "I want them to see it as a place where they cannot just grab a book but a place where they can hang out and spend time being social," said Cryderman. "We want it to be a place that people can gather to share ideas and share their lives." Cryderman sees a n umber of challenges ahead of her in the coming months with the need to weed the library collection of old and damaged books, implement new ideas for work flow, and develop new programs that will appeal to all ages, especially teenagers. "I would love to see more teens in here," she said. "If they met right outside my office door I would be happy with that." Cryderman will be working closely with the library board in the coming months with regard to major interior renovations, which could start early in the new year if an application for CFEP grant funding is approved. She'll also be getting to know individually each of the library staff members to assess their specific areas of strength. "I have met some of the staff but haven't gotten to know all of them yet," she said. Cryderman is a firm believer in intellectual freedoms and the freedom to read. A ccording to Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted and proclaimed by the General Assembly of the United Nations, "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." Cryderman was the head librarian at Stettler for five years before accepting the position of head librarian in Camrose. Prior to that she was a c ataloguer for College of the Rockies at Cranbrook, B.C. for three years, and before that, worked in a variety of specialty library jobs, one with a law firm, one with an oil and gas company, and one with another energy company. She worked in a school in the Northwest Territories for six years. "Coming here – t o a la rger library and a larger community – seemed to be the next logical step for me," she said. "I was sad t o leave Stettler but at the same time I am happy to be here. I am ready for the next challenge."

The best way to start your hunting career is to be supervised by someone who will help you discover the secrets of hunting, the best hunting grounds, tactics and tricks of the trade, but especially the taste for adventure. The majority of beginners start under the supervision of a family member or a group of friends. But what should you do if you are alone? In the first place, you have to have the passion and the desire to invest in this activity. Everything starts in school, that’s to say by taking a course in how to handle a f irearm, or a c ourse and a sk ill-testing exam for the bow and arrow, with the purpose of obtaining a hunting certificate. With that in mind, it is important to pass the course well in advance of the hunting season in order to get the certificate (plasticized card) allowing you to purchase your license in time for the beginning of the season. During your classes, the other students will also be beginners and, by socializing with your classmates, you could easily develop friendly relations with someone and be invited to hunt with this new friend. He is p erhaps luckier than you in having a fa mily member or friend to supervise his first expeditions. The same tactic can be used at the
archery club that you go t o. Hunters are generous and if you are a good sport, you could receive that invitation that you are waiting for. Finally, talk about your new passion to your family and friends. Word-of-mouth can sometimes get you a long way and you could end up discovering a hunting companion you didn’t know about, who shares the same passion as you. If you don’t succeed in finding a h unting partner, you’ll have to make the decision of hunting alone which, for security’s sake, is not recommended. If hunting migratory birds interests you, employ reputable, professional guides. It sometimes happens that they have places to fill in their groups. Don’t hesitate to tell them that you are a b eginner and want to learn. With the experience gained from the advice you will receive, you will progress quickly and it’s quite possible that you’ll be invited to stay with the group. For small game hunting, you can hunt by the day at an outfitter or in a park. You can hunt alone but you must have a good sense of direction. Hunt with someone who perhaps doesn’t like hunting but who enjoys walking in the woods.

Hunting is more than finding food for freezer Everyone has his or her own idea of what hunting is, but let’s look at several points together which are often mentioned when a hunter is asked what he likes about his pastime. The first thing that people who don’t hunt or who are antihunting will say is that a hunter participates in this activity to kill an animal and then store the meat in his freezer. Of course, the catching of game is a n aim and tasting the meat without wasting any is a question of respecting nature. But there is much more to hunting than that. For many, this pastime helps them to get away from the daily routine: escaping into the wilds of nature is like getting back to their roots. Strolling through the forest, checking the territory, daydreaming, is worth more than shooting the gun. Meeting with members of the group, making new friends, using new hunting tactics and preparing several months in advance are as much a part of the hunting trip as the few days that it lasts. And what about respect for nature and the environment? You should know that the people who are the first to defend animals are hunters who, worried about the decrease in the amount of game, have encouraged governments to take steps to protect the herds. Respect of the environment is a c oncern of the hunter. Lastly, if hunting trips are not always successful in terms of game, the experience is always rewarding thanks to the dynamics of the group, the quest for the dream, relaxing moments and the challenge of the hunt when the game approaches and then disappears. Finally, what hunters love about this activity is a b it of all this: an escape from daily life, deep in the forest, in search of an animal much more cunning than us and always difficult to track.

Program helps newly-diagnosed cancer patients By Colleen Lindholm
Camrose Primary Care Network A new leading edge program is now available in Camrose and area to support individuals diagnosed with cancer. The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) has launched the Oncology Nurse Navigation Program to provide information, resources and support to newly diagnosed cancer patients and their support persons. When someone has been diagnosed with cancer, it can often be an overwhelming experience. Not only is t he patient faced with the diagnosis, but is now having to make their way through a m aze of consultations, tests and treatments. The patient and their families often experience frustration and anxiety as they navigate through and try to understand the complex cancer care system – at a time when they should be focusing on getting well ... and being well. The Cancer Navigator Program is a vailable to cancer patients, their families and/ or caregivers of Camrose PCN physicians. The program is cl ient-centered and places greater emphasis on patient empowerment. Through information, education and encouragement, patients are supported in managing their own care. Acting as a point person, the PCN Oncology Nurse Navigator, Trish Delisle, will play a key role in empowering the patients and their support system. Trish, who has been an LPN for 10 years, has been passionate about developing the new program. She is now a specialized nurse navigator, having completed her training in Cancer Patient Navigation
PCN Oncology Nurse Navigator, Trish Delisle will play a key role in empowering the patients and their support system
as well as Screening for Distress and is a member of the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology and the Canadian Association of Psychosocial Oncology. The Nurse Navigator allows the patient and family a p oint of contact who can assist them through a very difficult and emotionally challenging time in their lives,” states Camrose PCN Physician Dr. Valerie Smith. “This position will also pave the way for uncovering challenges faced by patients and families that we as professionals may not have thought of. I se e it as a w in for the patient and a w in for the
physician knowing that someone is there to assist a person in need – A Helping Hand.” “PCN physicians have stressed to me the importance of improving health outcomes, enhancing overall well-being and decreasing the fragmentation of services throughout the cancer journey. I am proud of the training Trish has completed to date and I am confident she will play a key role in making sure the Oncology Nurse Navigator Program addresses the person as a whole, not just the disease,” says Stacey Strilchuk, Executive Director for the Camrose PCN.
When an individual accesses the Oncology Nurse Navigator Program, they can expect assistance with finding accurate and credible information regarding their cancer diagnosis and related concerns; guidance to resources and support available in the community (financial, mental health, etc.); support with the physical and emotional challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis. “I am elated to see in place this much needed and long awaited piece towards providing seamless transitions in patient care,” states Agnes Hoveland, former coordinator of the Camrose Community Cancer Centre. “The PCN has identified and is addressing an essential need in our community to support individuals living with cancer. Having this program in place will not only provide much needed information and support for people facing a cancer diagnosis, but will also benefit fostering collaboration with existing community programs and services," said Mayor of Camrose, Marshall Chalmers. “Being a cancer survivor myself, I personally applaud and support the PCN’s efforts in the launch of this program into the community.” Patients, their families and/ or caregivers can access the Oncology Nurse Navigation Program through referral by their Camrose PCN physician or by contacting the PCN office directly.

Sea Serpents win 23 medals at provincials By Murray Green
Eight athletes on the Camrose Sea Serpents swimming club earned 23 medals, including eight gold, at provincials held in Calgary on August 12 to 15. The club finished seventh overall. "When you consider we competed against larger centres such as Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge, w e did well. We probably had the most points from a sm aller centre," said coach Shane Gau. "I w as really proud of the swimmers that went. We had some great swim times. Even if they didn't medal, they recorded some personal best times. The swimmers definitely peaked at the right time, like they should." Nathan Saby set four records on his way to garnering four gold medals in the boys' 15 to 17 age category. He won the 100 metre (m) freestyle, 50 m breaststroke, 200 m f reestyle and the 50 m freestyle. "He won the outstanding aggregate swimmer of the meet (provincials) for the second straight year. I'm n ot sure if Nathan is coming back next year. I'm h appy for Nathan for the things he has accomplished," said Shane proudly. "However, he still could come back and I feel he could learn more and push himself in other events to make himself a m ore rounded swimmer. Eventually, he will have to move on to Edmonton to go to a training centre and receive more water time."
Nathan has mastered the breaststroke and freestyle events. "Now, he needs to work on the butterfly and backstroke events to improve. He also could attack the longer distance events. He definitely could do more in the summer club next year." Callum Gau also collected four medals. He captured three gold and one silver medal. Callum won the boys' eight and under 50 m f reestyle, 25 m breaststroke, 50 m breaststroke and came in second in the 25 m freestyle event. "Callum had a great year as well. He only lost one race all season long and it was the final event at provincials by 200th of a second. He set two records this season and they were from the 1980s, so they stood for a long time," explained Shane. "They are going to be hard to beat again. I was pretty proud of him." Brenden Hilgartner claimed the boys under 17 division, 1,500 m freestyle event and added two silver medals in the 800 freestyle and 400 m freestyle races. Camryn Gau collected three silver medals. She placed second in the girls' 11 and 12 category in the 50 m butterfly, 200 m medley relay and the 200 m f reestyle relay. Teammate Halee Klein kept pace with three silver medals of her own. She placed second in the girls' 11 and 12, 200 m medley relay, 200 freestyle relay and the 100 m b utterfly event.
"Halee is at the bottom of her age group, so sh e has another year in her category. She is definitely going to have a great season next year." Amy Cookson and Ashley White also helped win the silver medals in the girls' 11 and 12 relay events. They were on the 200 m m edley and 200 m f reestyle relay teams as well. "We had a l ot of swimmers peak at regionals and provincials and as a re sult we had the most medals at those events than we ever have had in the past. We are continually growing as a t eam and there are other aspects of our club that I'm proud of, not just the medals." Chad Sieben liked the bronze medals he earned in the boys' 11 and 12 age group. He placed third in the 400 m freestyle and 100 m backstroke event. The work ethic in the pool, offering the swimmers good nutritional habits, preparing mentally and sportsmanship are all things the athletes excelled at. "Coaches at various meets tell me that not only do we have fast swimmers, but also nice ladies and gentlemen with great sportsmanship," said Shane. "Our theme this year was mentorship. The older swimmers mentored our younger swimmers and even our parents mentored our new parents. That was our focus this year and it aligned our club to have a very successful season this year."

Presentation helps BRSD staff with skills Diane Hutchinson, Communications, Battle River School Division
Nearly 1,000 employees of Battle River School Division participated in a two-day learning opportunity at the end of August, to kick off the 2011-2012 school year. Hyacinth Schaeffer, from the Science Alberta Foundation, led BRSD teachers through a discussion on inquiry and assessment in Science. The Learning Insti-
tute, which included sessions offered at 15 different locations in Camrose, is held immediately before the school year begins, to help staff increase their knowledge and enhance their skills in preparation for meeting the needs of the students they serve. “The professional development of staff is critical to the success of students,” says Dr. Larry Payne, Superintendent of Schools. “Staff must keep
up with changes and trends in education, so they can continue to provide the best possible education to students.” Dr. Payne also says that bringing all the staff together for two days at the beginning of the year is not only energizing, it’s very cost effective. Speaker Dausen Kluin provided insight on living with disabilities. “If we tried to do this during the school year we’d either
have to cancel school or do a small number of sessions at a time, bring speakers in at various times and provide substitute teachers and educational assistants in the classrooms. Bringing all the staff and speakers together at the same time, before students arrive, makes good financial sense, as well as providing an excellent learning opportunity.” For the first time ever, this year’s Learning Institute also
received sponsorship support. A gift of $3,500 was received from the Science Alberta Foundation and Enbridge, which helped support four different sessions at the two- day event. “We’re very grateful for this generous support,” says Dr. Payne. “Their gift helped us offer sessions that helped staff learn new skills, which will be of long-term benefit to students.”

The Camrose Minor Soccer Association will be holding an indoor session to introduce local players to the sport. On September 17 at the field house, outdoor soccer players, and anyone else interested, may try playing the indoor game to familiarize themselves with the game that has a few rule changes from the outdoor season. "The indoor introduction session is for ages six to 14," said Jenn Stone of CMSA. "We have about 600 players during the outdoor season and only 100 for the indoor season. We would like to increase our numbers for the winter season." The indoor fun begins at 12:30 p.m. for the various age groups. A f und-raising barbecue will be held at the same time.

BRSD appointed as a "change agent" Alberta Education has chosen Battle River School Division as a “change agent” in the move toward more inclusive education in our province. BRSD is only one of 12 school divisions to be given this role. The school division’s selection was announced in mid-July and representatives will be attending an information session in midSeptember to learn more about what the “change agent” status actually requires of BRSD during the current school year. “We’re looking forward to learning more about what this
means for us,” says Superintendent of Schools Dr. Larry Payne. “What we do know is that the Ministry believes inclusivity is not limited to “special needs” students, but should incorporate programs that recognize children’s diverse learning styles; and that inclusion also means ensuring all students feel welcome and like they belong.” According to Dr. Payne this belief fits very well with BRSD’s beliefs and the work that they’ve already been doing. “In fact, we were told that our change agent application, which was based on our current
activities, was among the highest ranked in the province,” Dr. Payne added. “Alberta Education has said they are looking forward to having us act as a province-wide catalyst for change in the area of inclusive education, because we are already doing many of these things.” The provincial “change agent” process is a continuation of the Setting the Direction initiative work done by Alberta Education in recent years to review, evaluate and redesign the education system in order to meet the diverse learning needs of students.

Ford Explorer Everything you never knew a SUV could be By Dan Jensen
The all-new Ford Explorer at Lamb Ford Sales in Camrose is everything you never knew your SUV could be. "The 2012 Explorer delivers the attributes you really want and value and a few you might not have even dreamed about," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Denham. "It simply does everything well." Performance and fuel economy The 2012 Ford Explorer offers the available new 2.0 litre I-4 EcoBoost, which combines two different technologies – turbocharging and twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) – to deliver the performance of a much larger engine. It churns out 237 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque across a w ide 1,750 to 4,000 rpm range. The estimated fuel rating is 1 3.83 litres per 100 km in the city and 9.40 litres per 100 km on the highway. The standard 3.5 litre Ti-VCT V6 engine can easily be described in two words: no compromise. It uses just 11.9 litres per 100 km in the city and 8.0 litres per 100 km on the highway while delivering an impressive 290 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque. Ti-VCT (twin independent variable camshaft timing) allows individually optimized camshaft timing of valve opening and closing events to improve mechanical efficiency while delivering increased power and reducing part-throttle emissions. Explorer V6 models are available with an intelligent 4WD system that adds terrain management. Situation selectable, this powertrain advancement takes the guesswork out of 4WD range choice. A driver need only turn the console-mounted knob to the proper setting among snow, sand, mud and normal modes. This system also includes a hill descent mode. "It's one more way the Explorer takes you everywhere you want to go," said Denham. Contemporary design The reinvented Explorer provides standard seating for seven, along with plenty of flexibility to transport all sorts of gear. Up front, a commanding position and excellent visibility inspire confidence. Available 10-way power heated and cooled front seats provide year-round comfort. An available dual-panel moonroof floods the space with natural light and fresh air. Best of all, the graceful design includes new soft-touch surfaces, sustainable materials and premium trim, all crafted to world-class standards for fit and finish. In addition to its clean, modern design inside and out, Explorer aims to please SUV shoppers with a thoughtful, flexible interior package that abounds with clever storage capacity. The new SUV features more head and shoulder room, three rows of flexible seating, and room for everything families want to take along on their adventures. Tight margin gaps are just one indication of the immense attention to detail applied to craftsmanship
across the spectrum, from design to engineering to manufacturing. The Ford design team enhanced noise, vibration and harshness control using an advanced technology called NoiseVision. A ball with hundreds of tiny cameras and microphones, NoiseVision allows engineers to pinpoint and address potential noise issues earlier in the development process. New controls From the hands-free calling and music to 911 Assist, the available voice-activated Ford SYNC in-vehicle connectivity system significantly enhances your drive. Revolutionary new MyFord Touch adds to your SYNC experience with even more vehicle features. Entertainment, phone, navigation and climate can all be controlled with simple spoken commands, or through the colour-coded menus on its vibrant LCD screens, including the touch screen in the centre of the action. T his available system also displays your personal photos, enables you to create a Wi-Fi hotspot for passengers to access on the road, and works with many popular electronic devices, including video game consoles. World changing safety Ford has always been a l eader when it comes to safety. The 2011 Ford Explorer continues that heritage with new inflatable rear safety belts. Optional for the second-row outboard seating positions on XLT and Limited, the belts are compatible with child-safety seats.
They are designed to deploy in less than a blink of an eye in the event of a frontal or side collision, distributing pressure across more of the occupant's torso than a t raditional belt, which helps reduce the risk of Jan Nowakowski injury. Curve Control – t he latest enhancement to Ford's AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, is standard on every Explorer. Curve Control actually senses when you are entering a tu rn too fast and can apply fourwheel-braking and reduce engine torque to help slow the vehicle by as much as 16 km/h in about a second. The available BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert uses sophisticated radarbased technology to sense traffic you may not see. If BLIS detects an obstacle in your blind-spot zones when you're driving, it warns you with a light in the appropriate sideview mirror. Similarly, cross-traffic alert warns you if it detects traffic behind you (up to about five parking spaces away) while you're slowly backing up. Available active parking assist uses ultrasonic sensors to help you locate the perfect spot, then take your hands off the wheel and your smart new Explorer steers it into place. You simply follow the system prompts to shift gears and control the brake and accelerator pedals. The vehicle can be parked in as little as 24 seconds.

The value of test drives Cars are among the most expensive purchases a p erson will make during a lifetime. That said, drivers want to make sure their next vehicle is the right one for them. While research into vehicle safety and performance history is essential, perhaps nothing gives drivers a better idea of how well a car meets their needs and driving style than a test drive. Many dealers allow men and women to test drive vehicles by themselves, allowing buyers to get the feel of a car without feeling pressured or distracted by salesmen. When test driving a v ehicle, it's always good to comparison shop, test driving different vehicles to get a b etter idea of what's available. Drivers who have owned and driven the same vehicle for a number of years can be easily overwhelmed when test driving a new car, which is likely more smooth and boasts more amenities than an older vehicle. That's why it's important to test drive a h andful of new vehicles. This gives drivers a better point of reference for what a n ew car offers better than its competitors, and not a one-sided issue of what a new car offers compared to an older vehicle. The following are some of the factors to consider when deciding which car to buy.

Visibility
Many drivers buying a new car after years driving the same vehicle might find it difficult to judge visibility. Familiarity with an old car can make it hard to get used to a new one. When judging visibility, determine if the view of the road is adequate and if the side and rearview mirrors can meet your needs. Sometimes a rear window is t oo small for drivers used to bigger rear windows, and this can prove a safety risk down the road. Don't be distracted by the vehicle's comfort. If the visibility is poor (and visibility varies for each individual), then the car probably isn't the right fit.

Handling
How a vehicle handles will go a l ong way toward how it avoids emergency situations on the highway. The vehicle should be easy to maneuver on the road. Take note if the vehicle moves too quickly or
too slowly with sudden movements. Unless you experience an emergency while test driving a c ar, it's impossible to gauge how a v ehicle will respond in an emergency. However, publications like Consumer Reports perform

with
Comfort
Comfort is i mportant for many reasons. Cars are big investments, and drivers have the right to drive a c omfortable vehicle. A comfortable ride can also speak volumes about a vehicle's engineering. If a c ar is noticeably uncomfortable, drivers should be suspicious about the rest of the vehicle. Suspension plays a r ole in comfort, but suspension might also depend on the type of vehicle. A sports car, for example, might feel each bump in the road, but the superior handling attracts drivers who revel in acceleration. Comfort often depends on the type of vehicle, and buyers who have a s pecific type in mind should only test drive vehicles within that type. This will give an idea of which one within a c ertain category is the most comfortable.

Death and dying: It’s not a topic most people want to think about, let alone discuss. But death is a n inevitable part of life. Have you considered how you would want to be cared for in the last days of your life? How would you wish a loved one to be cared for? What support would you need? A re you aware that there may well be options to consider? The terms “hospice” and “palliative care” refer to the active care of a person nearing the end of his/her life; as much as possible, the care relieves suffering and improves the quality of both living and dying. World Hospice and Palliative Care day is October 8 this year ( http:// www.worldday.org/ ); it is a day to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care around the world. As its contribution to World Hospice and Palliative Care day, the Red Deer Hospice Society ( http://www.reddeerhospice.com/ ) is planning a fund- raising event ... a week early! On the evening of October 1, “Voices for Hospices” (music by several different central Alberta individuals and groups) will be featured, as well as a keynote address by Senator Sharon Carstairs ( http://sen.parl.gc.ca/scarstairs/ new-index-e.htm ), Minister with Special Responsibility for Palliative Care and author of Raising the Bar: A R oadmap for the Future of Palliative Care in Canada (June 2010, a report to the Senate). Having recently become an incorporated society, the Hospice Society of Camrose and District is now focusing its attention on achieving recognition by the Canada Revenue Agency as a registered charity; the Society’s raison d’être is to found and operate a free-standing hospice to serve Camrose and vicinity. Co-chairs Beverly Drever and Treva Olson want to call your attention to the Red Deer event on October 1, and they invite you to contact one of them if you are interested in becoming involved with the Camrose group bev@dreverag. com, 780-672-8147 or treespirit@ telus.net, 780-672-1509.

On the road … Extreme Pita delivers healthy meals in lunch program By Murray Green Packing healthy lunches for students as they head back to school is something parents can control. However, they may have little say when the children beg to take part in a lunch program at school. Fearing that their children may feel left out, parents give in and allow them to receive lunch at school a da y or two a w eek. Now parents can feel a little better knowing that the Camrose location of Extreme Pita offers health checked meals and has been serving healthy lunches to area schools for a n umber of years.

The new system is made to recipe," explained George Shostak. "We have a children's menu and attached to it is the Heart and Stroke Foundation information.

Redford salutes Leitheads Progressive Conservative leader hopeful Alison Redford, right, takes time from her busy day to talk with Bawlf area farmers Marion and Bill Leithead about her agriculture policy and its implications. Redford puts consulting with Albertans into daily practice. Redford was pleased to welcome key supporters Marion and Bill Leithead to her Edmonton headquarters. Redford said, “Gaining support from the Leitheads wasn’t easy. They grilled me on m y position on Bill 19, Bill 36 and Bill 50. They wanted to know their concerns would be heard. For Bill 50, we need to reduce the number of projects that are deemed critical transmission infrastructure.�
Of our 12-month exchange, we have been on the other side of the world, in the great “down under� for eight months. A bout one year ago my husband Jon was informed that his application to be an exchange teacher was accepted and that we would be trading places with an Australian teacher. With a p opulation of 128,600 we knew, simply based on size, living in Toowoomba, Queensland (which is Australia's second largest inland city) would be different. We left Camrose on Christmas Day and arrived in Australia on December 28, right in the middle of the Australian summer. Adapting to the heat was a b it rough at first. As some of our first days in Toowoomba were around plus 35 degrees Celsius, it was about a 50 degree swing from Camrose to our new home. The weather in Queensland was also very unusually wet this year, and there were many flash floods and heaps of extreme rainfall levels. Sadly, there was much tragedy and stress for the families of this area in the month of January and February as some lives were lost, and many businesses and homes were destroyed or damaged in the intense rains and floods. We were witness to outstanding community members working together in many ways. Many people who didn’t even know us went far out of their way to ensure we were safe and not overly stressed by the events of the area. We were deeply moved by the caring and generous nature of the people of this area. Toowoomba is located high up on a m ountain range, and therefore the temperatures are much cooler than the coastal temperatures. Though the summer days are hot, the nights get wonderfully cool as the refreshing breeze blows up the range and right into our bedroom window, which felt luxurious to us after a hot and sweaty day. The winter months are JuneAugust and after we watched the leaves turn colors and fall from the trees, we entered the chilly temperatures of winter. The cold was not something we were expecting. It did get down to minus 2 Celsius a few nights, and warmed up to about plus 13 to 16 Celsius during the day. This may not sound terribly cold, but many of the homes do not have insulation, nor do they have central heat, or fireplaces. We were quite chilly in the evenings and mornings as the outside temperature matched the inside. Some evenings we would snuggle beside an electric heater with hot water bottles on our laps, all “rugged up� (dressed warm with gloves, coats, toques, and long johns) and giggle about how we “tough Canadians� felt so uncomfortably cold in the Australian winter. It is now officially Spring, and we no longer wear pull-overs (jumpers) and toques (beanies) inside to keep warm. We are enjoying the plus 17 Celsius days, and the plus 10 Celsius nights seem very warm compared to how chilly we were only a few days ago. Keep your eye open for more articles about our adventures here in Australia.

Camrose on verge of new migration technology By Murray Green The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society secretary Dan Olofson made a Northern Purple Martin presentation at the Purple Martin Conservation Association Conference in Erie, Pennsylvania, August 11 to 13. "The society has taken on the task of building up and monitoring the Purple Martin bird numbers in the Camrose area," said Dan. "We have taken on the Purple Martins because of its uniqueness, fussiness and it is a v ery desirable bird to have. The goal now is to care for the bird and build up the numbers. I'm sure the birds could survive on their own, but we want to build houses and care for them." Dan's topic was about managing Purple Martins at the northern limits. "We are the most northern community to really look after the birds. They do go as far as Grande Prairie," said Dan. He wants the Camrose society to add Geo locators to the local project. "There is a new technology now that measures light and is non intrusive to the bird. It is a small piece of equipment put on the bird that measures how far and where they go. People are fascinated with bird migration. It monitors where they go, when they stop and how long they stay at each location. They (conservation association) have done this for one year now and tracked a female who travelled 600 miles across the Gulf of Mexico in one day. The birds were tracked from North Carolina to Brazil and from Texas to Brazil." Dan said the information would be very interesting and useful to determine where the Camrose birds migrate to. "We have been given early indications to proceed. We would tag 20 birds with Geo locators from our various locations and then receive the information back. Hopefully, they all come back with information. We need approval from the banding office in Alberta. Installing the Geo locators is expensive, about $10,000. We will be looking at funding for the project. If anyone knows of a grant or wants to donate to the project, they can contact me at 780-672-2797." Dan said he was researching to see if the birds have to be caught again to retrieve the information or if the information can be downloaded as the birds migrate. "One of the points I made in the presentation, is that the birds we have in the Camrose area have to travel the longest distance, so they end up being the strongest and healthiest birds. That fact tipped the scales in our favour for allowing us to do the project." The tracking system would confirm or deny that thought process. "We do know the birds like to stop in cities because they like to be close to people. When the birds go to Brazil, they often stop at the oil refineries because they have lights, protection and people working around them." The birds migrate to Alberta in late April or early May. "Bob Buskas from Wetaskiwin keeps in contact with people in the Dakotas, so we know within a day or two of when they will arrive in Camrose."

Therapeutic Lifestyle Essentials Grand Opening Monday, Sept. 19 Business ventures and strong work ethic seem to be a family pastime! Melanie Warren’s greatgrandfather, an entrepreneur of note in this community, started the very first taxi company in the City of Camrose. Three generations later, this soft-spoken, enterprising and experienced Red Deer businesswoman has filled a noticeable product and service gap in the local business community by opening a health products speciality store in City Center Camrose. Together with hands-on partners Lori Falk and Lynn Cramer - Melanie, the popular owner of Millerdale Pharmacy in Red Deer, has opened Therapeutic Lifestyle Essentials.
These three women of vision, business knowledge and compassion have recently opened their specialized medical products store in the entrance of the building at 4825-51Street. Today this building is home to The Open Door and a variety of professionals and other small business ventures. (It was previously the decade’s long-time home of the Smith Clinic). Camrosian Lori Falk, (Melanie’s stepmother), runs the small but well-equipped shop every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Lynn Cramer, (daughter-in-law of Camrose business leaders Joe and Paula Cramer), is the purchasing manager for Millerdale Pharmacy. She will commute from her home base in Red Deer to help clients each and every Friday. Melanie, meanwhile, restocks the store and is hands-on in helping customers every Monday.
Once inside Therapeutic Lifestyle Essentials you will quickly realize the importance of the product line to health care patients who have recently undergone various surgeries or medical procedures. Clients with long-term health issues or conditions will also be able to source products to ease their pain or discomfort, improve their mobility or even boost their self-confidence. The store’s partners each bring a unique background and skill set to the business: Lori worked at the U of A Hospital for more than 15 years as a Unit Care Clerk. She is a recognized expert in records management. Lynn is a trained and experienced Esthetician and an RMT instructor. In addition, she is counted on daily as the Purchasing Manager for Millerdale Pharmacy. Melanie has earned RMT, TPT and MLD designations and at present is working towards a degree in Business Management. All three partners hold current certificates in Ostomy education, prostheses and soft support orthotics fittings (i.e. back braces, hernia belts etc.) and compression therapy and custom garments.
Left to Right: products. In her words, Melanie Warren puts the level and quantity of items stocked into this perspective: “We have the ability to stock an ambulance or mobile medical unit, or industrial facility with the quality and quantity of medical supplies that matches or exceeds the industry standard!” The ladies pride themselves on their professional competence regarding mastectomy bra and prostheses fittings, and compression garment fittings. They are flattered to have received a lot of referrals from speciality bra shops, including the one in Camrose.
Lynn, Melanie and Lori for certain we will be able to source what you need very quickly.” And a reminder from Melanie Warren: “Our goal first and foremost and our commitment to exceptional client satisfaction is a perfect fitting for every one of our clients. For us to dedicate the amount of time you deserve, we suggest making appointments if you are in need of a custom fitting. We’re open Monday – Friday 9 am to 4 p.m. “ Therapeutic Lifestyle Essentials has a great working relationship with Alberta Aids to Daily Living, Veteran Affairs and all noted Insurance Companies. Direct billing will be done, wherever possible. Authorization receipts will be supplied for other transactions.

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.

Parliamentary Report Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot
By the time you read t his I will be in Ottawa attending the Conservative Party of Canada’s Annual National Caucus Retreat. All Conservative Members of Parliament, including the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers will meet to make final preparations for the Autumn Session of Parliament. Based on the policies we campaigned on in the May 2011 election, we have a full mandate to implement. Our focus remains on the performance of the economy as we carefully nurture Canada’s fragile recovery from the effects of the global economic downturn. Too many nations in the world continue to suffer under massive debt loads and budgetary deficits that restrict what they can accomplish in the near and long term. Over the past few years, even in the two previous minority Parliaments, our Conservative government has managed to successfully confront the recession; maintain the integrity of our financial and banking systems; move forward with trade opportunities; help create the conditions to provide jobs for Canadians; realize economic growth; and provide a strong stable federal government, among many other things. The Opposition parties have not fared so well. The Bloc Quebecois has been virtually eliminated; the Liberals have registered a ‘worst-ever’ performance; and the NDP – for all its success in 2011 – has been devastated by the loss of its leader. Since 2006, our Conservative government has proceeded to bring the policy changes Canadian voters have supported at the ballot box despite the trials and tribulations flowing from the Opposition. In the current majority Parliamentary situation, we hope that the Opposition will work with us to provide the best policy decisions on the programs and services that our federal government provides for Canadians. While we were elected to pursue our specific political agenda, we want the procedures and processes of Canada’s national legislature to operate as they should so that fair and constructive debate leads to the best policy decisions – file by file. The 41st Parliament has already established itself as a time of change in the political landscape of Canada. I am confident that this will remain true as we proceed. In the lead-up to the Autumn Sitting of Parliament, the Opposition parties know that MPs in Conservative National Caucus will: end the costly and ineffective long-gun registry; provide the same market freedoms for Western farmers as the ones already enjoyed by Central and Eastern farmers; continue to refurbish, upgrade, and expand Canada’s long neglected penal institutions; continue to provide our Armed Forces personnel with the equipment they need to safely do their jobs; stand up against the criminal element in our country; help Canadian seniors, workers and families; and ensure that Canada retains its position in the international c ommunity as a b eacon of hope to many nations facing difficult social, political and economic challenges.

With those promises in m ind we are asking for your input on this event in order to maintain a positive relationship between the balloonists and the area landowners.
