Augustana on its way to meeting enrolment goal By Dan Jensen

The Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta is well on its way to reaching its goal of having 1,200 students within the next five years. A total of 1,014 students were enrolled in Augustana faculty programs as of last Thursday (Sept. 13), up from 968 students who were enrolled in programs in the fall of 2011. The number of students enrolled in open studies, nursing and physiotherapy programs was 40. "They are taking their programs and courses on our campus but they are not part of our faculty," said Augustana assistant dean, external relations, Tim Hanson. "The physiotherapy students, for example, are registered with the faculty of rehabilitative medicine." While new students are down from 341 last fall to 320 this year, the number of returning students is up considerably, from 627 in 2011 to 694. The number of students who are in their fourth year and hoping to graduate next spring is 214, up from 145 in the fall of 2011. "Our retention has been pretty strong this year," said Hanson. I think Augustana is becoming better recognized as a four-year program within the University of Alberta system and students are realizing the wide range of experiences we can provide. There are a lot of opportunities for students to become involved in community service learning, which is a very practical component of the Augustana degree, as well as international study programs in Cuba and Costa Rica."

The number of students who have transferred from other institutions like Red Deer College, Lakeland College, and even the University of Alberta main campus in Edmonton has increased from 45 to 48. "We're trying to build up our transfer numbers to fill the openings that are created in second or third year programs when students decide they no longer want to continue with their field of study or go somewhere else," said Hanson. The number of international students at Augustana this year has risen to 72, up from 52 last fall. Eighteen of the international students are from China, up from 12 last year, 11 are from Taiwan, up from four last year, six are from Hong Kong and five are from Pakistan. The number of students from the United States is the same as last year, at just two. "We knew that the number of students who are coming out of high school is lower so we intentionally put a focus on trying to bring in more students from other countries," said Hanson. "We sent an admission counsellor to Hong Kong, something we normally do not do, and paid a lot more attention to international student inquiries and applications. Whereas in other years we were a little more passive about when they asked us questions, this year we were more proactive. We made sure they knew how to fill out their application form and choose courses and would remind them if there was something else they still needed to do." Continued on page 16

Terry Fox Run in Camrose Ingrid Urberg expresses thanks to those who came out for the annual Terry Fox Run at the Mirror Lake Centre in Camrose on Sunday. Terry Fox Runs have raised almost $100,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation in the 26 years they have been held in Camrose, with eighty-four cents of every dollar going towards cancer research. Terry Fox was 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had to have his leg amputated. Determined to do something to prevent others from having to go through what he did, he decided to run across the country to raise money for and awareness of cancer research. He made his way from the east coast to Thunder Bay before cancer forced him to stop.

City council defeats redistricting bylaw By Dan Jensen

A by-law proposing the redistricting of 9.07 acres on 50 Street next to the CN Rail trestle from R2 single family residential to R2A single family residential and duplex district was shot down by Camrose City council on second reading Sept. 10. The bylaw was presented for vote after a nearly three-hour public hearing in which residents close to the property made comments on everything from parking spaces and traffic to the increase in density. Councillor Greg Wood expressed concern in pre-vote discussion over what effect the proposed development of up to 48 duplex lots have on the surrounding property values. "I don't believe it belongs in that area of town," he said. "I think our responsibility rests with the property owners at this time." City of Camrose acting director of planning and development Shelley Munro told council that the redistricting application the City has received from Dean and Lori Huolt meets all the requirements as set out by the City with the exception of a cul-de-sac, which is longer than the standard normally allowed. She added that while the 48 duplex units being proposed exceeds the density pro-

jected in the 2006 growth study, which identifies the amount of land required to accommodate future growth, if one were to take the average over a large area and not the individual development, the overall density would be lower. Bryan Laskosky urged council to think about the consequences of building as many as 48 duplex units in a subdivision that would have only one entrance/exit. He also asked council to consider the uniqueness of the area and the limitations it presents with railway lines and a trestle nearby, and suggested the proposed development would create a density that is greater than it should be. Laskosky's comments followed up on a letter sent to Mayor Chalmers in which he stated the spot development as proposed is not acceptable and the type of development is not appropriate for the area. He also noted that the application for rezoning is similar to one that was rejected by council because the proposed development was not appropriate for the area. "It concerns us," said Laskosky, "that after all these years, the current developer has made no efforts to come up with alternative plans or configuration of housing units to develop in the

area. It would appear that the developer has decided to wait council out until enough votes can be swayed to allow what we believe was the original plan right from the start." Council also received a letter from Mike and Brenda Hisey, who stated that the access for the particular site is located immediately after a curve in the road, and that increasing the number of residential units at the location would increase traffic and safety issues. The letter also raised concerns about limited off-site parking and substandard on-site parking. "We are advocating council to complement the existing neighbourhood in a safe and complementary fashion," said the Hiseys. "Please do not deviate from the unique and innovative area that has been established. The site is appropriately zoned for single family use and should retain that existing classification." Sunail and Megan Kumar commented in another letter that the development would increase the amount of traffic using 50th Street on a daily basis and raise concerns about the safety of children. "Placing 48 living units in our quiet, almost rural R2 street irrevocably changes the feel of the neighbourhood," they said,

"and takes away from its town/ country charm." Tammy Conlon told council in her letter the road into the proposed development is not standard width, which would cause congestion. She added that Camrose already has more duplexes for sale than anything else. "We definitely don't have a shortage of them. There is even a brand new section of duplexes behind Superstore that are not yet inhabited. Conlon said she is not opposed to the development of the property, just the proposed plan. "I just think that IPEC Developments and the City could come up with a plan that could be much more conducive to the neighbourhood or keep the plan that is already approved." Dean Huolt told council the proposed development would greatly increase home ownership in Camrose and increased tax revenue by $3 million over a tenyear period. He further pointed out that development as proposed would have a density that is comparable to or lower than other developments in the city. "Our density is 5.29 units per acre, compared to Creekview, which has a density of 8.69 units per acre," he said.

Huolt added that all road widths meet the City criteria, and that every lot is designed to meet or exceed off street parking standards. He said the development would have two separate greenspaces, and would be within walking distance of Butterfly Park and a number of city recreational facilities. Huolt addressed traffic concerns when he noted that the development, when fully completed, would increase the number of vehicles on 50 Street by just 7.65 vehicles per hour. Councillor John Howard said while the proposed development does not sit well with neighbours it does meet existing City standards. Councillor Daryl Shillington expressed the wish before the vote that the Huolts had done an open house with the residents to address some of the concerns of the residents. "We might have had the opportunity for more informal dialogue," he said. Huolt told council he will be proceeding with the development of the property in some manner next spring with whatever designation is permitted.

The University of Alberta Augustana campus athletics program inducted Karel Lunde, Garry Gibson, Clarence and Irvin Servold, Yvonne Visser and the 1974-75 CLC hockey team into the Vikings Wall of Fame Sept. 8. The Wall of Fame was established this year to celebrate the accomplishments of Augustana and CLC athletes for their accomplishments as students and builders, and draw attention to Augustana's commitment to mind, body and spirit. Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger told those attending the Wall of Fame banquet and ceremony that the inductees have set the bar and have challenged current students to meet or exceed their standards. He added that nothing would make him prouder than to see current students adopt the inductees as role models. Funds raised from the Wall of Fame banquet and the Augustana golf tournament the following day will be used to support the Augustana scholarship program.

Irvin Servold speaks after being inducted to the Wall of Fame.

Vikings athletes prepare for busy sports season By Murray Green The defending Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference champion Augustana Vikings wanted a challenge to start the pre-season action this fall. They certainly received it with a pair of games with the University of Alberta Golden Bears. The Canada West’s Golden Bears beat the Vikings 6-1 and 5-1, which allowed coach Blaine Gusdal to closely evaluate the players. With 21 returning players, the battle for rookies to make the team will be intense. Despite the two exhibition losses, the Vikings are strong in goal. Goaltenders Paul Kolida, David Ritz and Joel Danyluk combined to make 86 saves in the series against the Golden Bears. Coach Gusdal added more fire power with the addition of Craig Cornelson from the Briercrest Clippers. He was one of the best players for most of the games for the Saskatchewan-based squad. Craig scored 19 goals and collected 33 points on a team with less depth. The Vikings will raise last year’s championship banner to the rafters in the regular season opener on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at the EnCana Arena. Augustana faces the Portage Voyageurs, beginning at 7:30

p.m. The same teams play in Lac La Biche on Oct. 13. The Vikings also host the Grant MacEwan Griffins on Oct. 20 and the SAIT Trojans on Oct. 27, starting at 7:30 p.m. Cross-country running Augustana runner Davis Alton travelled to Grande Prairie for the first crosscountry running meet of the season. She placed 13th with a time of 22:18 in the fivekilometre event. In the men's eight kilometre race, Ryan Lindsay was the top Augustana runner in 10th place in a time of 30:06 minutes. Coach Gerhard Lotz entered the event as an open runner and came in 22nd with a clocking of 32:34. Athletes will be entered in races every Saturday in September as they prepare for the ACAC championships. The Vikings will be hosting a race on Sept. 29 and the finals will be in Camrose On Oct. 27. Volleyball Augustana's regular season in volleyball begins on Oct. 26 when the Keyano Huskies visit the Rose City. The women's match begins at 6 p.m. and the men follow at 8 p.m. The same two colleges battle again the next day with start times of 1 and 3 p.m. at Augustana.

Thursday, September 20 - 1-3 p.m. Betty, our Pfaff representative will be your host. Expect camaraderie, laughter, samples that will inspire and lots of new and neat information about quilting, sewing and embroidery machines and accessories.

Grandmother power changing world By Dan Jensen

Paola Gianturco provided an advance preview of her latest book, Grandmother Power – Global Phenomenon during the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign provincial conference at Augustana Sept. 8. Grandmother Power – Global Phenomenon profiles activist grandmothers in fifteen countries on five continents. "It took four and a half years to complete," said Gianturco, a grandmother herself who makes her home north of San Francisco. "I interviewed and photographed 120 grandmothers in 17 grandmother groups." The book tells moving stories about the good work grandmothers are doing around the world, whether it be caring for AIDS orphans, convincing communities to abandon female genital mutilation, using solar energy to bring light to villages, searching for grandchildren who were kidnapped in Argentina's military dictatorship, or demanding justice for those who were forced into sexual slavery during World War II. "The stories are all very different from each other," said Gianturco. "I talked to the grandmothers in Ireland who were teaching the children how to plant food and cook it so they don't have to rely on processed food." Gianturco hopes that, in reading the book, people will reevaluate the stereotype of the grandmother, and that grandmothers themselves, in realizing how much needs to be done to help our troubled world, will see the kind of contributions they can make. "My dream for this book and all my other books," said Giant-

urco, is that people will understand each other more completely, because that, I think, is the necessary precursor for collaborating to tackle the problems that face all of us." Gianturco believes that grandmothers today are younger and better educated and healthier, and in the northern hemisphere, more professionally experienced than they have ever been in the past. "These are grandmothers who came of age in the 1960s. They know they can change the world because they did." Gianturco is donating all author royalties she receives from the sale of the book to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, an initiative of the Stephen Lewis Foundation that was created to support the indomitable African grandmothers and the resourceful community-based organizations that care for them and the millions in their care who have been orphaned by AIDS. "When I found out what the Stephen Lewis Foundation was doing I was just blown away," said Gianturco. "Their work is so impressive and the vision they embody is so laudable that they really have become centrally important to my thinking. Stephen Lewis is such a wonderful speaker and a wonderful man. He has such obvious integrity and he is doing such important work." Gianturco said the Canadian Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign is unique because it involves grandmothers from the global north working with the grandmothers from the global south. "I don't know of any other organization that was organized that way. It was brilliant to do

that because they are really working with each other. Grandmothers to Grandmothers goes in both directions." One of the Gianturco's favourite stories stems from an interview she was doing with a group of Canadian grandmothers, who asked her to deliver a message to the grandmothers in South Africa. "They knew I was going to South Africa and they asked me to tell the grandmothers there (in South Africa) what a gift they were to them (in Canada). When I did, the grandmothers there were stunned. They said, 'no, the Canadian grandmothers are a gift to us.' It showed a kind of respect and reciprocity on both sides of the ocean that is both admirable and remarkable." Grandmother Power – Global Phenomenon is Gianturco's fifth book, following Women Who Light the Dark (2007), Viva Colores! A Salute to the Indomitable People of Guatemala (2006), Celebrating Women (2004) and In Her Hands, Craftswomen Changing the World, all of which have enjoyed good success. "I have been honoured because some of them have been on best seller lists, which photographic books usually are not," said Gianturco. "My very first book, was about women artists who were sending their children to school in the developing world with the money they earned from making handicrafts. I was amazed to discover that many readers sent money directly to the women in the book, and I know of $120,000 that was kindled in support of those very poor women, all of whom were living below the $1 a day poverty line."

Paola Gianturco was a guest at the provincial Grandmothers to Grandmothers conference at Augustana.

They provide great customer service." The Small Business of the Year award is presented to an independently owned and operated business with 25 or less employees. Guidelines used by the Chamber's small business week committee in the selection of a recipient include significant business achievement within the last three years, sustained financial performance, involvement in business and/or professional associations and community activities,

Selmac Sales received the award in 2011, UFA in 2010 and Evraz Camrose Works in 2008. The Community Spirit Award is presented to a nonprofit group or business in recognition of significant contributions to the community (either monetarily through gifts of kind, or volunteer contributions), significant achievement within the past three years, participation in community events and promotion of Camrose through events, clubs, organizations and general involvement. Nominees must conduct the majority of their operations within Alberta, and must have their head offices located in the city of Camrose or surrounding area. O.PT.

ees with respect and recognizing their employees for the contribution they make to the overall well-being of the business or organization. Camrose Association for Community Living received the award in 2011. The Home Based Business of the Year is open to all homebased businesses with three employees or less. Businesses must be independently owned and operated and have made a significant business achievement within the last three years.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Five-year-old Jayden Kowal of Camrose enjoyed a game of table hockey during the Camrose Kodiaks carnival prior to the first home game of the season on Sept. 7.

By Murray Green Martyn Joseph will be bringing his brand of acoustic folk music to the Rose City Roots Society concert series at the Scalliwags Pub and Rum Bar on Tuesday, September 18. Martyn blends the sounds of Bruce Springsteen, John Mayer, Bruce Cockburn and Dave Matthews together for his own type of music. He has honed his live performances over the years to offer good live music experience for music fans. The skilled guitar singer songwriter has enjoyed longevity because he has something special to offer. He has had five Top 50 UK chart hits, was awarded the Best Male Artist at the 2004 BBC Welsh Music Awards, and has toured with

talented artists such as Art Garfunkel, Ani DiFranco, Jools Holland, Suzanne Vega, Chris DeBurgh, Runrig, Celine Dion, Shirley Bassey, Joan Armatrading and Mark Cohn. Martyn has the ability to present his audience with challenging narratives and with an intensity that hits hard. He also tempers this with songs that comfort and speak to the soul. Tickets for the show are available at the door for the 8 p.m. show. Blues artist Matt Anderson is bringing his high energy blues show to the Bailey Theatre on Thursday, September 27. Tickets are available at the Bailey box office.

Past Big Valley Jamboree artists clean up awards By Murray Green The Canadian Country Music Association awards night could have easily been a Big Valley Jamboree (BVJ) reunion in Saskatoon, Sept. 9. Small Town Saturday Night headliner and BVJ 2011 alumnus Dean Brody was the big winner. Dean received two awards for Album of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. Other BVJ alumni to receive awards include Johnny Reid, who performed in Camrose both in 2005 and 2009, captured the Fan's Choice Award, following his 2012 win for Top Selling Canadian Album of the Year. Carolyn Dawn Johnson, here in 2003, went home with the

Female Artist of the Year and trio Hey Romeo, at BVJ in 2008 with Hay Lakes singer Stacey Roper, took Group or Duo of the Year. This year's kick-off party sensation Kira Isabella was named the Rising Star Award winner. She opened for the legendary performers, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Jason Blaine, here in 2008, recorded the single of the year with "They Don't Make 'Em Like That Anymore" and Taylor Swift, 2009's thank you concert, received the generation award. The 2013 version of Country Music Week will be in Edmonton, from September 5 to 8 with the awards on Sunday.

Members of the Charlie Killam Junior High School Grade 9 band will be flipping hamburgers and hot dogs in a charity barbecue at M&M Meat Shops this Saturday. Money raised will help offset the cost of trips taken by the Grades 7, 8 and 9 bands throughout the year. "This is one of a few fundraisers we do throughout the year," said Charlie Killam band instructor Bob Bailey last week. "We don't want to put the whole cost of travel onto each student and make it so they can't participate." Charlie Killam's Grades 7 and 8 bands attend a music camp each spring at Camp Nakamun, where they work with a guest conductor, while the Grade 9 band does a yearend tour in which it performs at outdoor concerts and at other schools. "We go through Calgary, Banff and Invermere," said Bailey. "The tour is something we have done for the last 25 years." The bands also enjoy field trips and attend the provincial music festival, an annual event that is conducted in Red Deer. The Charlie Killam band program is as healthy as it has ever been going into a new school year. "The numbers are up in all three bands," said Bailey. "We have about 50 students in the

Augustana enrolment totals on the rise COUNTRY_BOOSTER 6X12_NTL_4GFW_2C AUG12.indd 1

Continued from page 4

Following the lead of the University of Alberta, Augustana has instituted a new bridging program designed to help international students who don't meet the language proficiency requirement. "We are fortunate to have the University of Alberta Faculty of Extension provide us with a language instructor to teach English as a Second Language to our students while they take one or two university courses," said Hanson. "If everything goes well this fall, those students will be fully admissible in January and can start their full program of studies. There are

only eight or nine students in the program but that is eight or nine students we wouldn't have had otherwise." Augustana has attempted to address rising costs this year by changing the way it is offering its cross country and biathlon programs. "The programs will now be geared more towards the recreational athlete than the elite athlete," said Hanson. "We know we are going to lose a few students as a result of that change because we won't necessarily have elite athletes in those programs any more. The move is one that made sense to us considering the number

of recreational athletes in this province who are participating in those sports." Augustana expects to see the backhoes from Clark builders getting started on the excavation for the Camrose Performing Arts Centre before the end of this month. "I don't think the construction we have had at Augustana over the last few years has been keeping students away," said Hanson. "I think it gives them a sign that things are growing and developing here, and that there are going to be new facilities. I think it is encouraging the students to be a part of this campus."

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Not curable but 100% preventable There are some diseases for which we know neither the cause nor the cure. In the search for answers, we spend millions of dollars and invest years of time – sometimes with success, sometimes with just enough progress and hope to keep us pursuing our goal. Using cancer disease as an example, through years of research we have discovered many of the causes and learned much about effective treatment but the deep secret to cure and/or prevention is still elusive. There is another health-related affliction for which we do know the cause and we also know how to prevent it totally; it is called fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). FAS is an alcohol-related birth defect caused by a mother’s consumption of alcohol during pregnancy. It is a shame to report that, to date, it has not been prevented because there are still people who are not aware of the cause of FAS, nor of the devastating damage caused by imbibing at any time during fetal development; nor do they know that there is no cure and the damage is life-long. A study at University of North Carolina says, “We now know that maternal alcohol use is the leading known and preventable cause of birth defects and mental disability ...” For the purpose of making people aware of the risk of fetal brain damage by alcohol consumption during pregnancy, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Awareness Day was first observed on Sep. 9, 1999. It has been observed every year since then, on the ninth day of the ninth month. It has met with some success but there is still much more to accomplish. Any day is a good day to promote awareness of FAS which is the severe end of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD). According to an information bulletin from the Government of Alberta (Aug. 29, 2012), “There are more than 36,000 Albertans affected by FASD, which includes a complex range of brain injuries and developmental, physical, learning and behavioral conditions that can result from fetal exposure to alcohol if mothers drink during pregnancy.” Some of the common characteristics seen in children whose brain has been so damaged are: poor impulse control, poor problem solving skills, difficulty in seeing the connection between actions and consequences, poor communication skills and lack of learning skills. These deficiencies cannot be changed but the Alberta Government has support programs. Quoting again from the Alberta government information bulletin (Aug. 29/12), “People living with FASD often need help with mental health, social services, housing, education and training, justice, addictions and family supports that can cost up to $1.8 million during their lifetime.” The dollars and cents cost of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders seems enormous but it is small compared to the often lifelong disappointment endured by those afflicted and their families and by the often wasted potential for a more satisfying life. Local supports and information about them are available through Camrose Association For Community Living. Information is also available from Alberta Supports at 1-877-644-9992. May each of us help prevent FAS by taking every opportunity to build awareness and increase knowledge about the risks of consuming alcohol while pregnant. Knowledge is the stepping stone to change. Be aware: there is no cure for FAS but it is preventable.

I was very sad to hear of the passing of our former premier Mr.. Peter Lougheed. He passed away on September 13/2012 in the hospital which bears his name. He leaves behind his wife, four children and seven grand children. During my teen years, I heard a lot about Mr.. Peter Lougheed. I was not old enough to vote for anybody. I am sure that my parents did vote for his party over the years. I did vote P.C. for

many years after I became of age. It has been very recently that I began to look for another party. In 2008, I decided to join another Conservative party who are a lot closer to Mr. Peter Lougheed's values. This is my opinion of course which does not always hold a lot of weight according to some people in this community. Everybody has an opinion and I believe everybody has the right to have one in this country. We have to appreciate what we have because if we are silent, our rights could be taken away one right at a time just like what is happening in the United States right now. We are five to six years behind our neighbours to the south. In my opinion, Mr.. Lougheed made Alberta a better place to be. He will be sadly missed by those who will remember him. Mr.. Lougheed helped make Alberta prosper and he fought the Federal government for more control of our oil and gas. I seriously do not believe this place will be where it is today without the hard work of this hard working Albertan.

It all happened in 1971 when Albertans who were of voting age said yes to change. He toppled the long lasting Social Credit who had won election after election. In my opinion, from what I read, I have come to the conclusion that after the Social Credit lost their leader, Mr.. Manning, they lost their steam and their will to move on. I have heard that many of the Social Credit MLA members had refused to run in that election of 1971. Mr.. Lougheed took the opportunity to offer Albertans a different way of governing. I tip my hat off to this incredible man who worked so hard to change Alberta for the better. I really hope and trust that there will come up other leaders just like Mr.. Lougheed. We really do need leadership in this day of change and uncertainty. I sure hope and pray that in the future we might find such leaders arise and take charge just like Mr.. Peter Lougheed. Lorne W.P. Vanderwoude, Camrose

The Cult of Celebrity Contemporary pop and rock musicians have ceased to matter as musicians and have simply become part of an homogenous celebrity culture. Consider Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, currently enjoying global media coverage of their recent engagement. I can’t remember the last time either were so front-and-centre in our collective consciousness because of the music they were creating and performing. But, there they are, embracing on the cover of Hello! magazine a celebrity rag – their love on public display in better supermarkets everywhere. Shortly after their surprising engagement announcement, countless radio stations – on whom irony is, evidently, lost – launched waves of call-in programs, asking people if they cared about Chad and Avril or not. Certainly, many people do take an avid interest in the happy couple and their impending nuptials, and who can blame them? What else is there to talk about, when it comes to contemporary pop music? How often do we encounter popular musicians as musicians in the media these days, anyway? We see them alongside other celebrity types in gossip magazines (too fat/ too thin, getting coffee, walking the red carpet) or we read news items about their latest DUI/tattoo/break-up. We do not engage with issues of musical creativity, or meaning, or performance, even though the music they produce and disseminate is so important to us. The cult of celebrity has overtaken our ability, perhaps even our desire, to know things about pop music and to

Second Thought

engage critically with it and with musicians as artists. Modern celebrity culture is not discriminatory: a famous person is a famous person. To be sure, there are degrees of celebrity; but celebrity status as such knows no borders. Shameless reality TV star, rock star, manufactured boy band star, movie star, home movie/sex tape star, celebrity chef, YouTube sensation: celebrities all. Is there really any difference, at the end of the day, between “Honey Boo-Boo” and Lady Gaga? One is grotesque and immature parading around in garish costumes and seeking attention at any price, and the other’s a sevenyear-old. What would we put on the news, or in magazines, or share on Facebook, or tweet about if all we were interested in was the music itself? Let me suggest that strictly

musical discourse about, say, an Avril Lavigne song would dry up pretty fast: that’s not a negative criticism, but simply a fact. Case in point: the new Nelly Furtado single, which features Furtado – another Canadian pop music superstar, and also a grown woman and mother – singing what sounds like adolescent jumprope chants above a little more than a spare, numbingly-unrelenting rhythm track. I’m not saying it’s bad; I’m saying that there’s nothing to say about it as music. We’re better off speculating about the circumference of her massive hoop earrings than discussing the song as a composition or a musical performance. For music scholars, in the end, pop music presents on-going, special and toughto-surmount challenges: what does it mean, what is it made of, what can be said about it that might matter? Often, we find ourselves left with pop music as merely a social phenomenon, or as an undifferentiated cultural product behind which pop stars serve first as brands, and secondarily as musicians, composers and performers. Perhaps we should just recognize that the field has been levelled, and we shouldn’t differentiate between the various media products that all trade on the same celebrity industry. That way, there’s no confusion or debate necessary, and we can consume our celebrityenhanced products without giving them a second thought. Hey, throw some Nickelback on the stereo, and turn on Honey Boo-Boo: it’s culture time!

Midget, bantam hockey players sought for no-hit league By Murray Green With the high number of concussions in minor hockey across the province, some players are looking for a good brand of the game, but without the heavy hitting. "There is a league in central Alberta that offers midget and bantam hockey for players that want to play for fun," said Jocelyne Brattland, who has a son who suffers from multiple concussions. "These players still love the game, but they want to eliminate

the hard hitting that leads to injuries and concussions." Jocelyne is seeking players for a Camrose entry to the league. "If we can find enough players, then we can form a team. Stettler has two teams, Drumheller, Kneehill, Sylvan Lake and Big Valley in the central area have teams in this established league." FunTeam Alberta is a nonprofit recreational sport organization that was established by former Edmonton Oiler defenceman Dr. Randy Gregg and his colleagues in 1990.

The objective of FunTeam is to assist individuals and families in participating in less competitive and low cost sporting activities. Following the FunTeam principles children, teenagers and adults can participate in physical activities of their choice in an atmosphere of fun and fair play. FunTeam is designed to guide volunteers in the organization and implementation of sport in their own neighborhood or community. Jocelyne is searching for at

least 12 players to form a team. "I'm trying to gain enough interest to support a team. I would like to see a permanent team in place." The FunTeam is the perfect place to play for players who need to avoid the risk of additional concussions. "My son Jordan has had five concussions and I'm worried about him suffering another one. This is still competitive hockey, the only thing missing is the hitting." Jordan is 14 and is now first year midget. He played for the

Camrose Bulldogs last year. "The story is not about him, but offering an alternative hockey league for players who enjoy hockey with no hitting," added Jocelyne. "Concussion leads to light sensitivity, sort term memory loss and migraine headaches. Some players can't afford the risk of another hard hit to the head." For more information contact Jocelyne at 780-855-0009. Since the start of the hockey season is approaching, she wants to know if there are enough players for a team as soon as possible.

Miniature bulls gaining in popularity with instructors By Murray Green

Kyle Stuckey of the Ohaton area raises miniature bulls to offer a better learning opportunity for young rodeo contestants. "Riding miniature bulls better prepares future bull riders for the sport because they react more like the larger bulls than the experience of entering boys' steer riding events," said Kyle. "One day these miniature bulls could replace steer riding at most rodeos." Miniature bulls, which can't be larger than 48 inches high to the shoulders, may be smaller in stature, but they can offer the same nastiness as the regular rodeo stock bulls. "Riding the mini-bulls gives young riders a better idea of what riding big bulls is like," said Kyle. "Steers don't act the same as the bulls that have been bred to have a career in rodeo." Kyle started a breeding program three years ago to cross Dexter, Zebu, mini-Herefords and Lowline bulls to produce stock just for the rodeo ring. "The riding experience is better on miniature bulls because the rules are the same as regular bull riding," said Kyle. "Steer riders use two hands compared to one. Learning the proper way to ride bulls makes it an easier transition when riders go from miniature bulls to regular bulls. They might as well learn the right way from the start. If they start with miniature bulls, the riders will have more confidence and they won't fear the larger bulls as much. There is a difference between riding properly and hanging on for dear life. Going from steer riding to larger dangerous bulls when they reach 16 years old can frighten off a lot of good riders." Kyle is a member of the Canadian Miniature Bull Riding Association. He raises the bulls with the help of his brother Chris and grandfather Bill. "My grandfather rode in the Calgary Stampede and he offered me the space on his land to raise the miniature

bulls. I have been working during the day and then tending to the animals in the evening and sending stock to rodeos on the weekend," Kyle said. "I'm busy right now, but I want to see young competitors in the sport and I receive my pay when a young rider does well. My cousin Lane was a bull rider and he instructs clinics for

me in Stettler. He was a good rider, but he was hurt bad and now he teaches younger riders." Nine-year-old Dinessa Johnson of Camrose is riding the mini- bulls. "This little city girl wanted to ride bulls because it looked like fun," said Kyle. "Now she is riding with confidence and having fun."

The riding of miniature bulls has caught on as a sport in the United States. The Canadian Miniature Bull Riding Association was established by Randy Graham and his family (DEEAB-LO Miniature Bucking Bulls) about two years ago. "I bought some stock from Randy and he got me started in raising

the bulls for rodeos," explained Kyle. "It is our aim to bring miniature bulls to the amateur and professional rodeo associations." The Stuckey family committed to a three-year project before they would even send bulls to rodeos. Bulls must be at least three years old before they can enter rodeos to help avoid injuries. "The first year went fine, but in the second year Randy double booked his bulls, so he asked us to send some of the bulls that were of age and they did quite well. We sent bulls to three rodeos that year and it was pretty exciting," said Kyle. "From there, we agreed that he would cover the southern region and I would handle the north for the most part, and together we would help the sport of riding miniature bulls grow." Kyle was involved in several 4-H clubs, both as a participant and a leader. "We raised all kinds of birds from exotic chickens to pheasants," he said. "I grew up loving animals and doing farm chores. Raising miniature bulls is something I have decided to do and I'm excited about it." Right now, the two stock contractors provide the animals to rodeos such as Tees, Strathmore, Taber, Bashaw, Bentley, Innisfail, Stettler, Rocky Mountain House, Carstairs, Tee Pee Creek and Dixon. Alberta youth went to Lincoln, Nebraska, for the World Miniature Bull Riding Finals last year where they performed well. Kyle would like to see the finals in Canada. "We like to have training and practice workshops, which emphasize safety and skill development. We match riders to bulls, so that the experience is positive. Riding increases responsibility and confidence for youngsters." For more information on miniature bulls visit the Canadian Miniature Bull Riding Association web site or to learn how to ride contact Kyle at 780-6780762.

De Paz named Guatamala tourism ambassador By Murray Green

Jorge de Paz has always been an ambassador for Guatemala and human rights. Now he has the papers to prove it. On a trip to his native homeland, de Paz was honoured by outgoing tourism minister Pedro Pablo Duchez with the title of tourism ambassador, on Aug. 1. He also received recognition from the government of Guatemala and the human rights commission for his fight for human rights for all people. "This is good for someone living in Camrose and good for this city. A lady in New York was named the first ambassador and I was the second person named as a Guatemala tourism ambassador. It is for all of Canada," explained de Paz. "The national human rights commission is called the Propraetor of Human Rights. They gave me an award because I promote, protect and defend the human rights of the world. It was a very good trip." Jorge was proud finally to be recognized for his actions. "It is really nice, after many years working with multiculturalism, for the government to give me this distinction. I had to sign

in a gold book. They are going to do the paperwork with the Canadian government and then I can get a diplomatic passport. Now, I have to decide if I am going to open an office in Canada and where (it should be located). I have to decide if it is going to be Camrose," said de Paz. "I have lived here for 23 years and Camrose is my home now. My children have lived in Canada longer than in Guatemala." The country is in the heart of the Mayan world, which has been in the news because of the Mayan calendar ending in December 2012. "People are interested in Mayans and travelling to Guatemala to learn more about the history. The arts centre (Chuck MacLean Arts Centre) is having cultural days Sept. 28 to 30 and I am trying to get a group from Guatemala to speak about the Mayans, if they can get a visa," said Jorge. "It is hard to get a visa because you pay $130 for the application and you don't know if you will receive it," added Jorge. "If they come, they will hold a Mayan ceremony in Camrose. That would be good for local

people because they can see the ceremony without going to Guatemala. They host the ceremony almost every day in Guatemala." Jorge wants Canadians to learn about Guatemala and travel to the beautiful country. The country holds most of the archeological sites of the Mayan culture, which are surrounded by an impressive flora and fauna. Guatemala offers advantages for some specific segments in tourism such as its strategic location and facilities in its land and maritime terminals for cruise ships from both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. It is known as the best sport fishing area in the world and it is also home to more than 720 species of birds. Jorge cares for his country and people. Fighting for peace, justice and freedom, he fled his country for Mexico and then on to Canada. In 1996, he started a trial against the former General Efrain Rios Montt. The case is still ongoing. "I was told to drop the trial or something will happen to members of my family. My niece received a call threatening her about this. The reason I went to Guatemala was to get her

safely out of the country and into Mexico. I hope she will join us in Camrose." In 1982, under one of the many military governments in Guatemala's recent history, Jorge was kidnapped and tortured by members of the presidential guard under the orders of General Montt. His human rights efforts did not stop with his kidnapping. Inside the different jails he organized the inmates in hunger strikes to force the jail's authorities to respect the rights of the prisoners. He was accepted twice as a political refugee in Mexico. The first time in 1985 when, after demanding the government respect the rights of the population, he was once again harassed by members of the presidential guard and he needed to move to Mexico for some time. The second time was in 1989 when, after many tries to form the Guatemalan Chapter of Amnesty International, his entire family was forced to move to Mexico with him. He then fled to Canada to be safe. Jorge continues his struggle today against the abuse of power, discrimination, impunity and social inequality.

He has been called upon to speak at different universities in Canada such as University of Alberta, Augustana University College, as well as in many secondary and elementary schools in Mexico and Guatemala. Jorge has stood tall against corruption and abuse without concern for his own well-being and has had to endure many of these fights alone. "I fight for human rights and this has gotten me into trouble." Jorge has written two books, The Kidnap and The Torture and Imprisoned in Hell. In these two books, he describes and condemns violations of human rights suffered not only by himself, but also those he has seen committed against others. He urges governments and private citizens alike to unite in the fight against human rights violations. Jorge also started a Walk for Peace in Mexico City in the Basilica of Guadalupe that concluded in the Cathedral of Guatemala City. He also fought against the death penalty. Jorge made his home in Camrose shortly after his escape to Mexico in 1989.

Tree planting in valley The Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society received $5,000 and a Canon PowerShot camera, from Canon’s Take Root Program, presented by Evergreen, to reforest the Stoney Creek Valley and repair some natural beaver damage. Supported by Canon Canada and led by Evergreen, Take Root is a national community tree planting and greening initiative in support of National Tree Day. This tree planting initiative in Stoney Creek Valley will see 250 trees planted by Volunteers, the City’s Green Action Committee and City Staff in three different natural locations in the City of Camrose’s Urban Park System south of the Stoney Creek Centre. The extensive Urban Park System, including the picturesque Stoney Creek Valley is a tremendous source of pride for all Camrosians. The Stoney Creek Valley Tree Planting will take place on September 22, 2012, and residents of all ages are invited to volunteer. Get outdoors in the beautiful fall weather and drop in to assist with planting trees in the Stoney Creek Valley from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can also join the mayor for coffee prior to tree planting, at the Stoney Creek Centre, 532040 Avenue, from 9 to 10 a.m. For more information or to pre-register as a volunteer, please contact Chris Clarkson at 780-672-9195. “We are very excited to receive this funding for reforestation and further greening our Stoney Creek Valley,” said Chris Clarkson, Parks Director, City of Camrose. “It is always wonderful when community involvement and concern for our environment

come together. We extend our sincere thanks to Canon, Evergreen – and the Take Root Program, the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society, and the Green Action Committee for making this initiative possible.” Canon’s Take Root Program, presented by Evergreen, will provide a $5,000 grant and a PowerShot digital camera to 30 local groups across Canada every year for the next three years. Canon’s Take Root Program aims to add more than 7,500 trees to the Canadian urban landscape annually and encourage community engagement in public spaces through native tree-planting events, invasive-species removal and other community stewardship, monitoring and developmental activities. “Sustainable urban greening happens when deeply committed community groups across Canada take action to naturalize urban spaces,” said Geoff Cape, executive director, Evergreen. “Evergreen is pleased to be able to direct funding and support to where it can make the most effective change.” Evergreen is a not-for-profit organization that makes cities more livable. By deepening the connection between people and nature, and empowering Canadians to take a hands-on approach to their urban environments, Evergreen is improving the health of our cities – now and for the future. Since 1991, Evergreen has engaged people in creating and sustaining healthy, dynamic outdoor spaces, and providing Canadians with the tools and knowledge to become stewards of the environment in their schools, communities and homes.

Edith Agnes Williams July 31, 1929 – September 6, 2012 Edith was born in Camrose, Alberta on July 31, 1929 to Fredrick and Svea McKenzie. They lived in Bawlf where her father was the school principal until his passing when Edith was almost two years old. Shortly after, she moved to Likness to her grandparents’ farm, a place she loved and spoke fondly of her whole life. Edith moved into Camrose when she started school, and then continued on to university in Edmonton to attain her teaching certificate in 1948. She had known Tom, and they lived across Mirror Lake from each other most of her life. They started dating in 1949 and were married on January 29, 1955. They continued to live in Camrose where, over the years, they raised their three children, numerous dogs and one cat. In 1968, they built their summer cottage up at Marie Lake and many fun times were enjoyed there over the last 45 summers with family and friends. Edith was a dedicated member of the Camrose Kinette Club and, more recently, the K39s where she spent many enjoyable evenings with her friends. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Tom; her three children Charles (Susan) Williams of Calgary, Eva (Brian) Golka of Hardisty, and Kristie (Donald) Reikie of Calgary; her seven grandchildren Byron and Elaine Williams, Kristie (Joe) Foster, Anne (Travis) Veale, Jocelyn, Barbara and Patricia Reikie; two great-grandchildren Jack and Grace Foster; her loving nanny Abigail Amoguis; and one stepbrother Bert Burrows of Vancouver, BC. She was predeceased by her father Fred in 1930; her mother Svea in 1996; her stepfather Charlie Burrows in 1961; her stepbrothers Walter, Gordon, Billy, Bob and Allan; and one stepsister Nellie. A funeral service was held on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. from St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in Camrose with Rev. Jacques Vaillancourt officiating.

Local bands featured during Culture Days By Murray Green

The Camrose Arts Society will be hosting the Alberta Culture Days from September 28 to 30. A high energy kick-off concert at the Bailey Theatre will feature three local bands, with no admission charge, beginning at 6 p.m. on Sept. 28. However, tickets are required at the door on a firstserved basis. The Wiremen, Bloozhounds and Punch Drunk Cabaret will entertain music fans with various blends of blues and rockabilly sounds. Curtis Bessette of the Bloozhounds, Arne Mack of The Wiremen and Randy Bailer of Punch Drunk Cabaret are eager to hit the stage to perform. "We are blessed to be able to play with these groups. Many of them have been mentors to us and to perform together on the same stage is quite awesome," said Curtis. "The Bailey Theatre is the perfect melting pot for many years of experience to join together. It is also a great place to create new experiences. People can enjoy great music locally at this venue from talented local artists." The Bloozhounds consist of Darwin Redekopp, Jeff Nyback and Curtis Bessette. "We are a group of people from around central Alberta. Chris Schuller and myself are from Camrose. We love playing together, and that is what has kept us together," said Arne of The Wiremen. "Our music is high energy rockabilly blues with an edge of country and old rock and roll blended together. We even do a little Motown music. A bunch of white guys playing Motown music is kind of cool too." Punch Drunk Cabaret mixes rockabilly, outlaw country, and steampunk swing. The band features lead singer and guitarist Randy Bailer from Wetaskiwin, and drummer Robin Eklund of Camrose. "For us, this isn't just another show, it's an opportunity to participate in a "musical community." There's a great sense of allfor-one, and one-for-all among the bands, everyone coming together for one cause," Randy said. "The Bloozhounds have become our musical brothers and there's a

great energy between our two bands. Although The Wiremen are new to me, I've heard a lot of great things about them and they sound like a great addition to the show. Given all these elements, I think this is going to be one of those events that people talk about for a very long time." The bands are the best three in the area right now said Arne. "It is going to be a good show. Curtis' band is solid and Punch Drunk Cabaret has crazy high energy. All three bands are similar, but different enough to stand out on their own. I'm really excited about the concert and just hanging out with guys." The concert will provide learning opportunities for the bands involved. "I want to learn some new licks from Chris Schuller," said Curtis. "We want people to come out ready to fill the dance floor. Most times we are all playing at different venues and we don't see each other a lot. This is our opportunity to watch each other's show." Arne explained the band's differences in another light. "It's like hockey teams. Some have

to win with offence, while others have to play strong defensively to win. We all have different ways to offer a good concert. You put three strong bands together and it will be a great show for everyone," added Arne. "We all have a little different edge." Most bands don't think of their performances as an art form. "We thank Jane CherryLemire for putting this show together. Sometimes I forget that music is an art form just as much as painting," Curtis said. "Music is so prevalent around us it doesn't seem like you have to go to a museum to listen to it. It is always around us. As a musician, to think of it on the same tier as going to a museum to view a painting, is really neat. To be part of the culture days and be considered what we do is an art form is nice." The musicians hope that this type of concert can be an annual event. "We're honoured by the invitation to play this event, and feel extremely fortunate to live in a province that funds the arts in such a way," added Randy. "The occasion is made even more

special by the fact that it's held in Camrose, which has become Punch Drunk Cabaret's hometown. We've been on the road, playing festivals province-wide this summer, so to come back home and be included in such a great community event is beyond expectation." Arne added his thoughts on music as an art form. "Arts as a whole has changed in the last 25 years. Everything is part of the arts structure. What we do is a different form. It is neat to be put in a package like this. We are not just performing a show, we are part of a whole program of arts for a weekend. We are just one item and people come to see everything about the arts. Jane is in a position to mold all of this together, cultivate it together, and she has come up with a really unique package." It is a kaleidoscope of culture, as Curtis put it. "That explains it in high definition," said Arne, with a laugh. "Whether we play in front of one person or a filled room, we go to perform at our best. We always go with the assumption that someone is

listening to us for the first time and we want them to be satisfied. You never know who is in the crowd. You give it everything you have and at the end of the thing, you have the satisfaction that you played your best. The reaction when you walk off the stage is that you have a buzz and you can feel it. Some people need a drink to get that buzz, I just need to play." Curtis seeks that same buzz. "It doesn't matter if it is 10 or 100 people, you put your whole heart and soul into it. I play like Stevie Ray Vaughn is listening to me upstairs, even if it is testing the sound on the amp." All three bands have good musicians. "We want to play with high standards because we know they are listening," Arne said. "Each concert, like a painter's canvas, is just a little different. It evolves each time," Curtis added. "Back over a 100 years when the Bailey was started, it was because of the community's love for the arts. We are now creating new history." Arne went back in time to recall his first memory of the Bailey Theatre. "The very first musical I went to at the Bailey was an Elvis Presley movie. Just being in the same room as I first watched Elvis Presley, really means a lot to me. Just to be in that same space where I had that love of music. We do a couple of Elvis songs, so it will hit me then." Alberta Culture Days will consist of a DJ contest, a Mandala art show, a retrospective art show featuring the late Glenda Beaver, multicultural displays and performances, an adult writing workshop, free arts workshops for children and adults, a photography show, a three local band concert to kick off the event at the Bailey Theatre, an arts festival of local entertainers, a Blast from the Past at the museum, and a special matinee show for the whole family. The weekend event was made possible through a $5,000 grant from Alberta Culture and a $1,000 grant from the City of Camrose. For more information contact Jane at 780-672-9949.

Camrose Public Library experiencing busy year By Dan Jensen

It has been a busy year at the Camrose Public Library. The library had 7,211 people participate in programs at the end of July, 2012, up from around 2,000 for all of 2011. "We've had a pretty amazing year," said Camrose Public Library director Deb Cryderman. "The increase in numbers is pretty impressive." The library's eight-week summer reading program in July and August saw total participant registration of 1,928 kids between the ages of five and 18, up from 650 participants the year previous. "Our two programmers were very well organized and had everything planned," said Cryderman. "They visited most of the schools to invite the kids to attend." As it has in the past, the

Wayne Arthurson talked about his book at the library Sept. 12.

summer reading program received very good feedback. "From reading the comment forms the kids really enjoyed it," said Cryderman. "One mom

wrote that her child was upset any time they weren't able to come." Camrose Public Library has had a full-time programmer in Nicole Bannick since last December who has been responsible for the development of a wide number of programs for everyone from newborns to the elderly. Some of the upcoming events she has planned include a Lord of the Rings Hobbit Day Movie Marathon September 22, a presentation by author and storyteller Gail de Vos October 3 on how nonprofit organizations or businesses can tell their stories, a display of art during Alberta Culture Days at the end of September, and a reading by Fran Kimmel from her new novel, The Shore Girl A Snapshot Day, October 10, will provide the library to collect

information on how many people pass through the door and ask questions. "The information is compiled at all the libraries throughout the province," said Cryderman. October events will include a tea in celebration of Women's History Month. "We had a Royal Tea here at the beginning of the summer, which had a good turnout, so we are expecting another good turnout for this one," said Cryderman. "We're going to be making cards, so you can send a card to someone who has played a big part in your life." The fact that the library does not charge for programs, or for that matter library cards if you are a resident of the city of Camrose, means that everyone is able to participate. "The waiving of the library fees in 2012 may have attract-

ed some people who didn't use the library's services before but the programs have always been free," said Cryderman. The library is currently finishing phase one of a renovation project that has included new carpet and furniture, a re-arrangement of shelves, new paint and an upgrade of the electrical system that will provide more places in which library users can plug in their laptops. Phase two will include a new circulation desk that will be a little more accessible. Cryderman said the decision by Camrose City council to do away with library fees has made the library more accessible to everyone. "Now everyone can borrow items. It is free entertainment and a free source of information. You have free access to improving yourself."

Ford Flex Bold look with space for all By Dan Jensen

The new Ford Flex at Lamb Ford Sales delivers a bold look, dynamic features and space for all. "It allows you to carry up to seven passengers," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read. Ford Flex has the most second- and third-row legroom in its class, plus headroom that won't cramp anyone's style. When loading, the Power-Fold third row seat helps by folding flat at the touch of a button. For sporting events or stargazing, that same seat converts to a rearfacing tailgate seat. Flex Limited features memory settings on the 10-way leather-trimmed heated driver's seat. "The seat trim and cushioning is exceeding everyone's expectations," said Read. "Flex is so comfortable you just might want to let someone else do the driving." Power-adjustable pedals let you recall comfort on every drive while cabin air filtration removes the impurities Flex helps you stay in touch with the world with Ford SYNC. No more searching for your phone, no device in your ear. Once paired, SYNC recognizes your phone and automatically transfers your contacts to support voice calling. It also plays music from your phone, MP3, USB or iPod. Just touch a button on the leather-wrapped steering wheel and say things like "call work," or "play playlist." SYNC also includes 911 Assist with GPS location reporting. MyFord Touch includes an eight-inch LCD touch screen, a media hub, two LCD screens in the instrument cluster and familiar five-way controls on the steering wheel. Upgrade to the navigation system for interactive maps you can zoom and scroll, complete with 3D landmarks. Choose the Eco-Route on the voice-guided turn-by-turn directions for a recommendation on the most efficient route to take to your destination. One touch of the MyTemp button and the system recalls your preferred temperature setting. Heated seats, fan speed and other climate-related features are easily accessible from the same screen. Select climate controls are also located beneath the touch screen for quick access any time. Performance beyond your expectations The 3.5 litre EcoBoost V6 twin-turbocharged directinjection engine delights with the power you desire without sacrificing fuel efficiency. On Limited models equipped with EcoBoost, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and standard intelligent all-wheel drive add even more driving spirit. The standard 3.5 Ti-VCT V6 engine features twin independent variable camshaft timing, which increases horsepower to 287. Both engines pair with an efficient six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission, offering you a choice between fully automatic operation and manual control. Intelligent AWD helps improve grip when you need it most, enhancing confidence in inclement weather and uneven road situations. Ford Flex is equipped with a Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) that is designed to alert you with an

amber light in your rearview mirror whenever it detects traffic in your blind spots. And when you're slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway, it alerts you to vehicles approaching from either side with a sound, a message centre warning and the amber light. Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support helps alleviate concerns about traffic by maintaining a preset gap from the vehicle in front of you. If it detects a potential collision, the system flashes a warning across your windshield, sounds an alarm, pre-charges the brakes and increases brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you do brake. As you navigate traffic and search for a parallel parking space while trying to quiet the kids, you don't really care how Flex can actually park itself. You're just thankful it can. First, press the active park assist button to help you locate the perfect spot. Then, take your hands off the wheel, follow the system prompts to shift gears, control the brake and accelerator, and relax. Flex steers itself into place in practically no time at all. Keeping you safe Designed to help reduce the risk of injury in the event of a frontal or side collision, the new inflatable second-row outboard safety belts deploy in less than a blink of an eye and distribute pressure across more of the occupant's torso than a traditional belt. The advanced

Personal Safety System uses sensors to optimize deployment of the dual-stage front airbags in certain frontal collisions. Front seat side airbags deploy in certain side-impact collisions, while the Safety Canopy Brett Read System includes a rollover sensor and side-curtain airbags that cover all three rows. The standard MyKey allows you to program ignition keys with reminders to drive at appropriate speeds, keep the audio volume low and more, including limiting the vehicle's top speed and muting the audio system until front safety belts are fastened. Bold design The new Titanium Appearance Package on Flex Limited features a painted tuxedo black metallic roof and sideview mirror caps, combined with one of nine exterior colour choices Flex offers. Add 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with premium painted pockets, and people can't help but notice. The theme continues inside, where charcoal black leather-trimmed seats feature perforated inserts in grey, along with a perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel with meteorite black bezels. Unique instrument panel and door-trim appliques, along with exclusive floor mats, complete the expressive look.

Power in the Camrose downtown area and east to city limits was knocked out for almost two hours after a 61-year-old man was found dead in the gravel truck he was driving. The truck left the road in the 5200 block of 39th Street on Sept. 4 and struck a power pole shortly after 2 p.m.. The driver was unresponsive at the scene and was transported to Covenant Health St. Mary's Hospital Camrose, where he was pronounced dead. In a report, Camrose Police Service said the truck was travelling on 39th Street when it left the road, striking a power pole and a fence. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death and the driver’s name was not released. Police, fire, EMS and Fortis Alberta attended the scene. The investigation is believed to be non-criminal in nature and is continuing.

Parliamentary Report

Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot Immigration Fraudsters

The Autumn session of Parliament in Ottawa began on Monday, September 17, with a meeting of the Conservative National Caucus before the House of Commons. Conservative Members of Parliament and Senators decided our legislative priorities. There are no secrets though because Canadians elected us with a strong majority to carry out a mandate with the top priority of jobs and the performance of Canada’s economy. We will continue to maintain our low-tax plan to create jobs and economic growth. Over the summer months, I managed to meet many constituents from all corners of our large Crowfoot Riding. As your elected federal representative, I always appreciate very much hearing your opinions, constructive criticism, suggestions and support. You can be assured that I take your input seriously and bring it into the policy making debates that our Conservative government engages in with the Opposition parties. I regularly hear about the need to be vigilant when it comes to protecting the integrity of Canada’s immigration system. We support new Canadians who work hard and play by the rules. We even provide help in many ways so that they will be successful. Canadians are generous people, but we have no tolerance or patience for people who don’t play by the rules and who lie or cheat our system to obtain Canadian citizenship. In contrast to the previous Liberal government, our Government will apply the full strength of Canadian law to those who have obtained citizenship fraudulently. The Hon. Jason Kenney, Citizenship and Immigration Minister, announced that the federal government is investigating nearly 11,000 individuals for citizenship or residency fraud and 3,100 people are in the process of losing their citizenship. To date, the government has removed or denied admittance to over 600 former permanent residents linked to the investigations, and have denied about 500 citizenship applications where the applicants do not meet the residence requirements. Almost 1,800 applicants linked to the investigations have abandoned their citizenship applications as word about these investigations spreads.

Immigration fraudsters Continued from page 35

I remind everyone that the ‘politically correct’ Opposition parties will be highly critical of these efforts and they will work hard to find ‘hard luck’ cases to focus on during Question Period and try to make Canadians feel guilty. Our government will continue to work to provide for a faster, more flexible, responsive, and secure immigration system that will better meet Canada’s economic needs while continuing to uphold our humanitarian commitments.

Men's Open By Murray Green

The Labour Day Classic isn't just relegated to football. Camrose's version of the classic is a yearly golf tournament for the top male golfers in the region at the Camrose Golf Course on Sept. 2. Sid Orcheski and Niel Stewart captured the low gross score at the Lamb Ford Men's Open. Pat and Brandon Bohnet combined for the low net award. The tournament raised $285 from a 50/50 draw for the Boys and Girls Club of Camrose. The golf course had a hole in one twice in August. On Sunday, August 19, Brent Clark had his second hole-in-one on number eight using a seven iron from 150 yards away. Then on Tuesday, August 21, Renny Lowe also used a seven iron to make his first hole-in-one on the 11th hole with a 155-yard shot. On Sept. 6, Dr. Leif Bredesen shot a hole-in-one on the eighth.

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.

Bev Drever and Treva Olson are co-chairs of the hospice society. By Murray Green

The Hospice Society of Camrose and District completed a needs assessment to confirm what they already knew. The area needs a hospice facility. The next step is a feasibility study to help the hospice society determine what type of facility it should have. "We want to determine if Camrose would support the funding for a hospice facility. It would cost $2.5 million to build and that's just the bricks and mortar. The highest expense then is the ongoing expense of running the facility of about $1.25 million a year," explained Hospice Society of Camrose and District co-chair Treva Olson, who compared it to other hospice facilities such as Red Deer and Okotoks. "Our trajectory is still on building a free-standing hospice," Treva said. "That is something we won't stop going toward, but in the interim, what we have decided is quite important and needed in our community are education programs. There is a collective of us putting together a training program and its called Lessons for Living and Being with Dying." The training series is held on Fridays from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Rosehaven Care Centre Library on the third floor. People are asked to call 780-672-1509 to register. "Learning about life first is important. You need to live in the moment and not put off things you want to do," added Treva. Topics include cultivating inner peace for comfort in hospice care, spiritual care and self care, grace and compassion for self and others, grief and loss, and understanding physical and medical care. Presenting the topics will be Jane Arial, Nola Sharp, Bill Harder, Carmen Pearson, Tamara Saby, Wannita Teows and Bev Drever. "This training is open to everyone, but is a requirement for those who wish to become volunteers in hospice care," said co-chair Bev Drever. "When I took the training it was because my dad was dying. The training helps everyone learn to listen and be present to them (the dying) and not intent on changing someone." Morning cafe conversations will also be held Fridays 8:30 to 10 a.m. at Cafe Connections from Sept. 25 to Nov. 9. Public talks on meditations on death are held on Mondays from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the C014 Augustana classroom building on Oct. 1 and 15.

The hospice society has learned a lot from other hospices in Red Deer and Okotoks, which provide home-like atmospheres, a central kitchen, chapel, sun room and a children's game room. Teaching volunteers and loved ones is also a key ingredient. The hospice society is currently working on trying to find space for a resource centre to share information on how to care for the dying through books, videos and guest speakers. "The continuity of a hospice helps relax the person in need of care. In a hospital the staff is always changing and things are happening all of the time. In a hospice, the atmosphere is relaxing and the palliative care, family and friends all become constant," Treva said. "There is a comfort in that." More information about the Hospice Society of Camrose and District is available at www.camrosehospice.org. Hospice palliative care is a type of care and a philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation (relief) of a terminally ill patient's symptoms. These symptoms can be physical, emotional, spiritual or social in nature. The concept of hospice includes palliative care for the incurably ill, which is given in such institutions as hospitals or nursing homes, but also provided to those who prefer to die in their own homes. "Rosehaven (The Bethany Group) has been a great supporter to us. They provide us with rooms for meeting and learning sessions and we are grateful for that," said Treva. "Without them we wouldn't be where we are at today." The Hospice Society of Camrose and District wants to provide the best care for patients who are near the end of their lives so they can live in a comforting environment. The hospice facility, if it is deemed a necessity, will draw patients from Wetaskiwin, Camrose and areas east of the county. Currently, Red Deer has the closest hospice. For more information on the hospice society, visit www.facebook.com/camrosehospice, or the website www.camrosehospice.org. If someone has extra space to loan to the hospice society, contact Treva or Bev. The society's annual general meeting is on Oct. 29, at 7 p.m., in the Rosehaven auditorium. It is also a good opportunity to learn more about the society and the programs it offers. There will be a guest speaker.

Solverson bike tour to raise funds for learning centre By Murray Green

Stephanie Solverson of Camrose wants to help build a community learning centre in Bluefields, Nicaragua on Little Corn Island, by cycling about 6,840 kilometres. "I start biking in Calgary where all of my gear is," explained Stephanie. "I want to get to Nicaragua by Christmas in December. I'm going by myself because it was a last minute decision and I plan on leaving as soon as possible." Stephanie is paying for $2,000 worth of her gear to begin and her goal is to raise enough funds to be reimbursed. "The learning centre was already started to be built by a non-profit organization called Common Threadz. It was started, but they have a lack of funding. It has a floor and a roof," Stephanie said. "It will take about $10,000 to get it up and running to fully functional. I hope to raise as much as humanly possible to help this project. My minimum goal is $6,000." Common Threadz is a nonprofit organization helping disadvantaged children and rural villages in the developing world through community development programs that empower the kids, their community, and the local grass roots organizations that support them. The learning centre will have computers for people to use, a library and classrooms. Currently, the island doesn't have any computers for the public to use. Some English and Spanish classes will be taught at the centre. "It will open up more learning opportunities for local people." Stephanie spent two and a half years as a scuba diving instructor in Nicaragua and returned in July. "I've been living on the island and teaching, so want to do something for charity where I know it will benefit the community and the people living there. I know where the money is going and it is something I am passionate about." Even Stephanie admits it is a lot of ground to cover in a short time. "I met a lady on the island who was biking from Alaska to Panama. She inspired me to do this. (bike tour). I thought that someone should benefit if I am going to do this, so I decided to raise money for the community learning centre," Stephanie said. "I have a fundraising page at www.commonthreadz.org/stephsolverson and it shows people what I'm doing and people can donate online. I will be writing a blog when I can along the way, so more people know what I am doing and help me raise funds. My blog is stephgoescyclingforacause@blogs.ca and I plan to post pictures. All gifts made on my behalf are 100 per cent secure and tax-deductible." Bluefields is the capital of the municipality of the same name in Nicaragua. Continued on page 40

It is located on Bluefields Bay at the mouth of the Escondido River and it was named after the Dutch pirate Abraham Blauvelt who hid in the bay’s waters in the early 17th century. It has a population of over 87,000. Bluefields is

Nicaragua’s chief Caribbean port, from where hardwood, seafood, shrimp and lobster are exported. Bluefields was destroyed by Hurricane Joan in 1988, but was rebuilt. Due to gradual erosion, the peninsula is becoming a true

island that closes the Bay of Bluefields on the east side. Until recently, there was no road access to Bluefields from the west coast of Nicaragua. There is now a dirt road from El Rama, but no bus service.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM Unidirectional Flushing is a method of cleaning the water mainlines through a network of flushing sequences with the water being discharged from a fire hydrant. The flushing of the pipes will dislodge and remove mineral deposits, sediments and biological deposits that accumulate over time. The City of Camrose implements the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program to:

Take notice that on September 11, 2012, City of Camrose Subdivision Authority conditionally approved the following subdivision:

- maintain and improve the City’s water quality.

FILE:

SUB 01-12

- reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water color.

LEGAL:

Lots 5, 6, 7, Block 4, Plan 8120853

Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants.

ADDRESS: 47 Avenue and 37 Street, Camrose, AB PURPOSE: To consolidate the above lots and subdivide the consolidated parcel

If a discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear.
