Centra Cam Recycling, perhaps best known for its handling of 40 metric tonnes of cardboard and paper products weekly, is a first-class facility serving the community in many other ways. The staff of 12 accept a variety of plastics, computers, printers and TVs, fluorescent tubes, non-rechargeable batteries, paint, milk cartons, tin cans and most every type of printed matter. Clear glass containers are now also being accepted at the centre. Unfortunately, the market is very limited, at present, for pre-used glass. Presently, Centra Cam loses money on the glassware it accepts as the company is charged for the trucking of this glass to Moose Jaw. Once it arrives in this Saskatchewan city it is finely ground for use in the production of reflective paint.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER October 18, 2011

Premier appoints local MLAs to important positions By Murray Green

Premier Alison Redford kept the Camrose area in mind when she named a n ew cabinet team on Oct. 12. “This cabinet reflects what change looks like. It’s a t eam that’s committed to listening to Albertans, and getting to work right away on bringing the change Albertans want and expect,” Redford said. “As promised, there is a l ot of new talent around the table that will change the way government works. There are also some familiar faces, including Doug Horner, who, as previously announced, will stay on as deputy premier.” Cabinet was sworn in by Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor at Government House. “With this new team in place, we’re ready to work for Albertans on a n ew agenda. One of our first jobs will be getting ready for the fall session and setting our agenda to move forward,” Redford said. Her new agenda includes local leaders. Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson will stay on as Minister of Justice and Attorney General and add Deputy Government House Leader to his duties. "Only two of us, Greg Weadick, Minister of Advanced Education and myself, are in the same positions on cabinet," said MLA Verlyn Olson. "We have had the least change and I'm very happy to stay in my position. I've been at it for seven to eight months and I was just nicely getting to know all of the stakeholders. I'm happy to continue. I was relaxed and open to any portfolios, and willing to go w herever the Premier needed me as well." Ron Liepert, a f ormer CFCW employee, was named as the Minister of Finance. Diana McQueen from Drayton Valley - Calmar, west of Olson's riding, was appointed Minister of Environment and Water. Former Camrose resident Jeff Johnson, son of ex-MLA LeRoy Johnson, is t he new Minister of Infrastructure. "I'm

delighted for Jeff. He is a r ising star in our party and is w ell respected. I think he will do a tremendous job," said Verlyn. With only four Calgary and four Edmonton cabinet ministers, the rural area of the province is n ow well represented in cabinet. "I think the Premier did a masterful job in selecting cabinet ministers and giving rural areas more strength." MLA Doug Griffiths, Battle River - W ainwright, was named the Minister of Municipal Affairs. "I'm pretty excited about the position. Over the last 10 years, I h ave been working on community building. I have been across the province and have visited 328 of the 422 communities listed in our directory. I w ant to visit them all," said Griffiths. "I'm a r ural MLA, so I w ant to work with the issues municipalities have because we all have the same objective. We want strong rural communities and I'm excited about facing those challenges." Griffiths believes funding is the last step in making the community stronger, not the first. "We need to talk to each other more and start thinking about long-term planning." Neighbouring MLA, Jack Hayden Drumheller-Stettler, was appointed as the Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation. Johnson is t he vice-chair of the Treasury Board. The board also includes Griffiths and Liepert. McQueen and Liepert are on the Agenda and Priorities board. Johnson is also on the Operations Committee. Cabinet Policy Committees on Energy includes McQueen. Public Health and Safety chair is George Rogers, who is the MLA for the northern part of Camrose County and Verlyn Olson. Finance committee includes Liepert, Johnson and Ray Prins, MLA for the southwest part of Camrose County. The Community Development committee includes Griffiths and Hayden.

Forty-five volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Camrose Composite High School and Canada World Youth collected 6,500 lbs. of food for the Camrose Food Bank during a food drive Oct. 15. This was the second year of the post-Thanksgiving drive. In 2010, volunteers collected more than 2,000 bags of food and were able to fill the Food Bank's empty shelves in one day. Pictured with some of the food that came in were: (left to right) Michael Smith, Laurence Dennis, NeighborAid executive director Pat Hagen, and Shane Ellis.

Council asked to look at skate park upgrades By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Skate Park Renovation Committee is looking for assistance with an upgrade of the current skate park. Skate Park Renovation committee member Kevin Balay told City council Oct. 11 that an upgrade is e ssential for not only the skate park users but, as well, the well-being of the city's high recreational standards. "Our current skate park is seriously lacking in beginner friendly obstacles," said Balay in a written report. "This problem is prohibiting the development of many, if not all, skate park users. An upgrade like this would provide an area focused primarily for new riders. Having an area such as this would encourage young athletes to come out and try and use our facility. This addition would also lead to an increase of users at the skate park. An increase of users here means a

strong decrease in skateboarders practicing their activity on private property and places they shouldn't be." The committee is p roposing to remove the three hills, a grass boulevard and concrete pathways at the current facility and install modular components on a 40-foot wide concrete pad addition on the east side. The estimated cost of creating the addition, including the engineering and excavation, pouring of the concrete slab complete with surface hardener, and installation of Skate Wave products, is $78,692.21. "The upgraded would contain many streetscape designed features," said Balay. "The lack of these features being at our facility is what attracts users away from the facility in search of these features elsewhere." The committee has met with City of Camrose officials to review the planned upgrade on

a general level. The next step is to review accurate construction drawings. "Our group is interested and determined to provide a p ortion of the costs, made through fundraisers and private donations," said Balay. "We are also interested in looking into government grants as well as expecting a fraction of the costs to be provided by the City of Camrose." Camrose Community Services manager Paul Nielsen said the City will be looking at reasons for the concrete shifting at the park, and is planning to replace the concrete in 2012 as part of its regular maintenance program. "On the condition of the existing park it is apparent that, just like our sidewalks and driveways, in our climate, things start to shift. "We are facing some of those with the cracking and the disjointed joints."

Balay said the amount of abuse that the Camrose skate park facility has taken is starting to show and is a ffecting the overall quality. He added the act of filling cracks would greatly reduce the chance of injury caused by the environment of the facility. The skate park was constructed eight years ago at a cost of $280,000, a p ortion of which was paid by the City of Camrose. According to Nielsen, the cost of the addition should not come anywhere close to that. "The nature of the components is that they are manufactured off site and they are simply put slab on grade," said Nielsen, "so certainly it wouldn't be anywhere in the range of what we paid previously." Balay said the completion of the affordable addition would benefit the community by creating a sense of belonging and give

youth the chance to be involved in something that directly benefits them. "This project would provide an opportunity for youth to be involved with a local project that directly affects their quality of life. It will build life skills and encourage youth to be active citizens now, and well into their adult years." Balay said the addition would also lead to an increase in users from other towns coming to visit and use the facility. "The addition would result in an area to host extreme sports competitions and get-togethers." Balay said many communities, such as Red Deer and Canmore, have invested in upgrades to their skate parks. "If the City of Camrose wants to stay as a re spected leader in youth recreation facilities, this upgrade is c ompletely necessary."

Premier restores education funding By Murray Green

Newly appointed Premier Alison Redford vowed to return $107 million to school boards across the province within days of her announcement on Oct. 12. After making a c ampaign promise to rescind education cuts during the PC leadership race, she delivered the news to 62 school boards, including the Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS). "This will make an impact in the lives of parents, families and children," Redford said at a news conference. "This is a government that is listening to Albertans, listening to Alberta families, and talking about the values that matter to Albertans." Together with Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk, she ordered that the $107 million will come from savings within other departments and will be forwarded to the school boards to use, as they see fit, to make changes to front-line education. "Even though the dollars will be targeted on making sure they end up in the classroom and students will be feeling the difference, the school boards, in themselves, will have the ability to prioritize the dollars to identify the pressure spots," said Lukaszuk. In her letter to teachers, Redford also committed to funding the department in three-year cycles so that educators can make better long-term decisions. Reacting to the news, EICS Camrose trustee Luisa Davidse said, "It's always good to see Alberta investing in education. We have to determine how much we will receive and then address the hot spots that we have as a board. We cut back between 27 and 30 staff positions. Some were teachers and others were support staff. We were lucky in Camrose, we only had a few positions lost. As a board, we have to examine everything." The EICS is meeting on Oct. 19 and one of the long discussions will be about spending the funds wisely. "We are always doing our best with what we have. Our teachers are wonderful. We were one of the hardest hit when claw backs took away $683,000. Then we didn't have a lot of extra money to work with. It was a h uge amount to this board and we have always been fiscally responsible." Luisa doesn't feel it is healthy to have large classrooms for students or teachers. "Oversized classes are not the best way to teach. We will look at where schools need help and as a board, make those decisions. I'm c autiously optimistic now. I'm happy the Premier followed through on her promise because education is so important. She has restored some faith in government." Luisa is i n her second term and fourth year overall, serving as a trustee for the Camrose area on the EICS. "I love it and I enjoy learning and facing new challenges." In Camrose, EICS includes Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School and St. Patrick School.

BRSD officials pleased with announcement By Dan Jensen

Premier Redford's announcement that she would be restoring $107 million in education funding was music to the ears of Battle River board chair Cheryl Smith and superintendent Dr. Larry Payne. "Both the Premier and Minister of Education (Thomas Lukaszuk) appear to be very committed to education and we are pleased about that," said Dr. Payne. "It bodes well for the future and we hope that those initiatives will continue." While the funds are being targeted for specific areas that were affected by the reduction

or the elimination of grants, it is anticipated that school boards will still have certain flexibilities to meet specific needs and relieve certain pressures. Information specific to BRSD is expected to be known within the week. BRSD's board will be reviewing and approving the school division budget, including any changes resulting from the funding announcement, in the month ahead. The BRSD budget must be submitted to Alberta Education by the end of November. BRSD funding is based on student enrolment totals, which

have been declining over the past few years. BRSD had projected a 3.5 per cent decline in student numbers for the 201112 school year based on the number of children entering Grade 1 t his fall being about half the number of students that finished Grade 12 in June. "We don't know what the funding levels will be for future years, however the Minister has made reference to the need for a more predictable funding strategy, and I a m happy to hear that," said Smith. "Predictable, sustainable funding is so mething that school boards have been seeking for some time."

BRSD has been significantly and deliberately supplementing its instruction budget from reserve funds for several years. As it goes forward it needs to be judicious and cautious with the funding so t hat it does not make any changes that cannot be sustained. Currently, BRSD has 38 fewer teaching positions this year than they had in 2010-11, and a s imilar number fewer educational assistants. There have also been bus routes eliminated and staffing adjustments made in the areas of maintenance, transportation and division office.

CPAC project managers recommending design build process By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose won't need to provide the $520,000 in MSI funding to take the performing arts centre to the construction document stage after all. Camrose community services manager Paul Nielsen told City council Oct. 11 that University of Alberta project managers have reviewed the design tender processes that can be utilized to keep the design work moving forward and are now recommending a

best design design-build rather than the traditional designtender stipulated lump sum process. Nielsen said the designbuild process provides greater assurance of having the project come in on budget. "The way we were going before everything is put in the form of construction drawings before one goes to tender. They (the drawings) are then put out to contractors and they bid on what they see in the drawings.

With the design-build there is more of a teamwork approach. The architect and the contractors sit down together at this stage and they design it jointly. That way the architect can take advantage of the contractors' expertise in terms of how we save money and still deliver the product." One of the major pitfalls of the in design-build process in the past has been the lack of quality control, something Nielsen said is extremely

important when it comes to the acoustics of a p erforming arts facility. "That is w here this term of best design and design-build comes together. The architect is there with the contractor ensuring the integrity of the facility so that the quality you need is kept intact through the process. In the meantime, the contractor is creating and devising ways to save money and essentially bringing it in on budget."

The University of Alberta CPAC manager is n ow in the process of determining if any additional City funds will be required through the design phase. If there is a need for additional City funding it will be in an amount significantly less than the original request of $520,000. Nielsen said should additional funds be needed the new request will come to council on a future agenda.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Small businesses strive to better serve This week, October 16 to 22, is Small Business Week and is being observed in Camrose and across Canada. The objective is to recognize entrepreneurs for their successes and to promote learning among small companies to help them better understand their customers’ needs and to better fulfill them through the delivery of ever-improved products and services. Tomorrow evening, the Camrose Chamber of Commerce will host a dinner at which awards in several categories will be presented to small businesses. When we think of employers who provide jobs in significant numbers, our thoughts tend to turn to large industrial and manufacturing firms. While it is true that they do, we should not underestimate the important contribution made by smaller businesses such as we have in our city and region. A Statistics Canada Report (2008) tells us that of the 1,077,047 employer businesses in Canada, only 2,904 (that’s just under one-third of one percent) have more than 500 employees; 98 percent have fewer than 100 employees, 75 percent have fewer than 10 employees, and 55 percent have only one to four employees. About one-quarter of all business establishments produce goods and the other three-quarters provide services. Business Edge (10/13/06) quoted a Statistics Canada report stating that “75 percent of all businesses employ fewer than five employees and 95 percent employ fewer than 50” but, in spite of that category’s small size, “the sector contributes 80 percent of all new jobs in the economy and generates roughly 43 percent of Canada’s economic output.” Based on the above information, we assume that entrepreneurs in Camrose and area are contributing in great measure to the economic health of our region, province and country. This week’s issue of The Camrose Booster carries a 40-page annual Small Business Week supplement with messages from many of our local entrepreneurs. Reading their messages gives one an inkling into the competitive challenges they face as they continually try to keep abreast of change and endeavour to better identify and serve their clients’ needs. To do so, some have changed location, expanded premises, improved equipment, upgraded computer programs, enhanced staff training and more. Truly they must be astute in adapting to the rapid changes occurring in the small business environment while still clinging to the everlasting truth that successful businesses are those which provide products and services people need and/ or want, at a price people are willing and able to pay – and, very often, in a place they want to live, too. Most of my life has been lived in Camrose. I have been served very well by local enterprises in all categories, often well beyond normal expectations. Each has my continued loyalty because I appreciate having the goods and services they offer locally accessible. Small business entrepreneurs: thank you for catering to our community’s needs, for supporting our charities, and best wishes as you strive to survive in today’s ever-changing small business environment.

I do realize that Thanksgiving is long gone and over. O ver the Thanksgiving Holiday, I began to think about not what I did not have. I b egan to think on what I did have. In an article in a m agazine, asked this question. Did you sleep in a bed, have enough food in your stomach and have a shelter to live in? Many in this world do not have the above things. These are things that we all take for granted. For the first time ever, we do have a female Premier. I really am excited about this change. Just think, not too long ago, let us say in the 1920s, women were not even allowed to vote. W e sure have come a long way when it comes to making people equal. We really do have a lot more to go down this road, but I a m confident that we as a society will get to where everybody is equal. I just would like to encourage everybody who is read ing this, to be thankful for all what you have. It can always be a lot worse. It does not matter what you are going through in your life. It can always be a lot worse than it is now. Lorne Vanderwoude Camrose Dear Editor:

I have been asked by several seniors to write in your paper about a current problem concerning many of our seniors. We hear extensively about senior abuse. It may be right before our eyes. The ones involved can manage to cover it up using fear because of their size and power. Some companies have a monopoly because of their size (and apparently, there is p ower in size). Because of this, a senior has to take just whatever such

a company wants to dish out. It would appear that these companies are never satisfied with less than "the pound of flesh next to the heart." They can tell the senior citizen "It is none of your business," and "Take it or leave it" because the seniors are vulnerable. Oh yes, it is very much some of the seniors' business. I wonder who is pa ying the big shots' salaries. The seniors and others are, not the reverse. A very old and reliable book says "Whatsoever a m an sows that shall he also reap." Someday the rich man may become the poor man, the CEO may become the servant, and one thing is certain, everyone will become old and vulnerable." Speaking of senior abuse, open your eyes and see! Mary Ringwall Warke, Camrose Dear Editor:

Could someone please explain how the garbage system works? Yesterday I se t out my regular household garbage and along with that, while cleaning up the garage, I set out a metal hanging flower pot, a cast iron frying pan, another old pan with metal lid, and a neat little bundle of tall flower stems. The first garbage truck came along and, upon checking, I noticed that the metal flower pot, the metal lid from the frying pan, and the bundle of flower stems had been picked up but the cast iron pan and the pan to which the lid belonged were left behind. A half hour later a se cond garbage truck arrived to pick up the household garbage and also took the cast iron pan and metal pan, which should have been picked up by the first truck that picked up the flower pot and the lid. I'm confused to why we need that first truck, which is only doing half the job yet we continue to pay for two trucks to do a job which one can do. Maybe the frying pan lid belongs in a different area of the landfill than the pan itself, but someone needs to explain. Nick Sawchyn, Camrose Dear Editor:

I love secondhand stores and

whenever I t ravel I l ook them up. While shopping those secondhand stores from Vancouver to Ontario, I h ave raved about my hometown thrift store at every stop. I b elieve that anyone who has shopped there will agree that it is the cleanest and most efficiently run secondhand store that I k now of – ba r none. And how impressive that not only is it one of the most lucrative businesses downtown, but salaries aside, all the money generated goes back i nto our own community! The staff is always friendly and helpful, and Everything is clean and comes with a g uarantee that it works – a lmost unheard of in secondhand retail – more often than not it's buyer beware. I have been a reg ular shopper at the Camrose Thrift Store for 30 years now but these past few weeks things have gone a bit haywire. I've heard through the grapevine that the board members are not happy with the way things are run there. It would seem to me that if it's that clean that people are travelling all the way from Edmonton to Provost to shop there, and the customers are this happy with it, then perhaps the board is j ust, well, bored! I challenge those board members to go i n there for one week and try to do that job as effectively and courteously as those girls do! I g uarantee you that they don't have a clue what's involved. I am wondering if perhaps it's not the board that is i n desperate need of an overhaul? My advice to you – if it ain't broke certainly don't try to use "meddle" glue to fix it! Incidentally, How d oes an active and knowledgeable consumer get on that board? I know one thing – i t's clear that I know far more about the inside workings of this very successful business! I k now because I reg ularly blog about it. And I answer questions from all over the world as to why and how our little local charity is so great. I'd like to ask those bored members: what exactly do you do to generate business? Barb Anderson, Camrose

Elk Island students perform well on tests Submitted

Elk Island Catholic Schools’ students have achieved outstanding performance on the 20102011 provincial achievement and diploma exams. In provincial achievement exams, students exceeded the province's acceptable standard in all subjects and the standard of excellence in all but two subjects. In Grade 9 French language arts, ninety-eight per cent of students achieved an acceptable standard. In diploma examination results, students exceeded the

province's acceptable standard in seven out of 12 exams written. One hundred per cent of students writing French language arts 30-1 achieved acceptable standard. "Our Division has continued to achieve exceptionally high diploma exam participation rates," said Elk Island Catholic Schools community relations officer Pattie Danos. "Our participation rates were 16.6 per cent higher than the provincial average." Assistant superintendent of instructional services, Maureen Duguay said the high standards

of achievement reached by Elk Island students is linked to the strong focus the division has had through its AISI initiatives on assessment, differentiation of instruction, literacy initiative and strong support provided for students in a culture of inclusion. EICS board chair Tony Sykora said the board is proud that Elk Island students have performed at such a high level of achievement. "Our staff, students and parents are to be commended for their support, exemplary efforts and contributions to our students’ success.”

You know the skeleton song “The knee bone is connected to

the ... leg bone. T he leg bone’s connected to the ... hip bone”, but have you ever heard the watershed song? “ The land is connected to the… water. The water’s connected to the… people. The people are connected to the… land!” A watershed is a n area of land within which all of the land and water and people are connected. The city of Camrose and surrounding area is pa rt of the Battle River Watershed. The watershed, which covers approximately 30,000 square kilometres within central eastern Alberta and into Saskatchewan is a “ prairie-fed” watershed, as opposed to “glacier-fed”. Our water, supplied from rain and snow melt results in a modest supply of water, depending on precipitation that year. We have to monitor the quality and quantity of this water to keep our communities, economy and environment healthy. The Battle River Watershed Alliance (BRWA) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization whose mandate is to protect and sustain the health of the Battle River and Sounding Creek Watershed. Under Alberta’s Water for Life strategy, the BRWA is o ne of 9 Watershed Protection Advisory Councils, whom are the voice for Alberta watersheds. In partnerships with government, industry, and individuals, the BRWA is reporting on and protecting our river, and our watershed.

Special Olympics swimming starts next week By Murray Green

The swimming season will be starting soon for the local Special Olympics Club. Swimmers will hit the pool with two groups on Oct. 24 from 4 t o 5 p .m. "Swimmers with aides and advanced swimmers will be going at the same time," said coach Laura Bothe. "We will be swimming from now until March. There will be no swimming in January because the pool will be closed. We have a sw im meet in Red Deer on the first weekend of February. Anybody who is wanting to swim or volunteer may contact me at laurabothe@hotmail.com." Coach Laura instructs about 20 athletes in the weekly program and hopes to add a few more swimmers and coaches this year. The program doesn't have age requirements. "We can have young moms with babies or people learning to swim with mats, as long as they have an aide to help them individually. Once they can swim a c omplete length of the pool, they can go i nto the other group and we work on their skills so they can go to meets if they want to." Special Olympics currently offers swimming, bowling and softball. To volunteer, contact Colin Atkinson at atkinc@gmail.com or phone 780-672-2282.

Warning signs can help prevent deer-vehicle collisions Collisions between wild deer and vehicles not only hinder conservation efforts but pose a serious danger to drivers. In new research, published in the Wildlife Society Bulletin, Canadian scientists examined locations and time periods of high rates of deer vehicle collision to assess the effectiveness of warning signs to prevent fatalities. Property damage resulting from deer-vehicle collisions is estimated to cost $200 million a year in Canada and over $1 billion in the US. N inety per cent of collisions are fatal to the deer,

while 65 per cent cause injury to humans. However, the team found that 77 per cent of US and Canadian transport agencies rarely, if ever, employ prevention strategies for new projects and when warning signs were put up they were often placed arbitrarily. “When you consider the number of collisions that take place it is treated almost as common knowledge that deer-crossing warning signs don't work,” said Dr. Rob Found from the University Of Calgary. “Indeed

with all the technology available to us there is skepticism that a sig n stuck in the ground is able to reduce collisions with deer and save society millions of dollars.” The team focused its study on the city of Edmonton in Alberta, which borders dense forestry. The team used collision statistics from 2002 to 2007 to highlight key locations where collision rates were highest and coupled this with seasonal information to maximize the economic and safety benefits to preventing a collision.

The team identified 28 hotspots within the city limits before placing warning signs in 14 of these locations. The results showed that drivers did alter their speed for up to 1.6 km after passing a warning sign. The teams results also showed that while there had been 139 cases of collisions the previous year, the rate was dropped to 78 citywide once the signs were in place. The authors suggest that because warning signage is a cheap and easy prevention tool signs have become overused, but

when placed selectively to target collision hotspots, they can still be effective at reducing collisions. “Prevention strategies are not only a m atter of saving the lives of both humans and deer, but also finding ways for deer and humans to share the same habitat,” concluded Found. “Our study showed that warning signs really do reduce deer-vehicle collisions, but we will require a followup study to determine if drivers remain responsive to these signs in the long term.”

Kodiaks tame Mustangs with solid play By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks continue to spread the scoring around as they defeated the Calgary Mustangs with four players finding the back of the net. Ty Clay started the team off with a tally just four minutes into the game. Then something happened that hasn't occurred in several games. Camrose added a power play marker off the stick of defenceman Craig Bokenfohr. Nate Engert scored in the second frame and Kieran O'Neil padded the lead in the third period. I think we have progressed a l ot since the start of the season," said Craig. "We improve a l ittle each game." Goalie Matt Gibney stopped 31 of 33 shots he faced in the Kodiaks' net. Camrose had 35 shots directed at the Calgary cage. Scoring with a m an advantage was a relief for the Kodiaks. "We were not trying to think about it too much. Everyone knew we hadn't scored a power play goal for awhile. That was a pretty good momentum boost for us. Hopefully we will grip our sticks a l ittle lighter now and relax. We have been working on the power play in practice and it will be okay now. We need to get more bodies and pucks to the net. We have been winning games without the power play. Now, with a good power play, we will continue to win games." Camrose has received solid goaltending this season as the duo alternates in the early going. Kodiaks' netminder Brayden Hopfe stopped everything that the Drumheller Dragons threw at him to earn his second shutout of the season and a 4-0 win, Oct. 9.

Brayden would be the first one to admit he didn't work up a sweat, facing only 13 shots. Camrose scored three times in the opening frame and cruised the rest of the way. The Kodiaks fired 31 shots at the Drumheller net. Landon Kadatz, Nolan Marshall, Adam deChamplain and Luc Vandale were the marksmen in the contest. The fans received their money's worth when the Calgary Canucks were at the Edgeworth Centre. The game against Calgary proved to be three games in one. Calgary scored both of their tallies in the first period. Then it was onto phase two when Camrose fought back to score one in the second and another in the third to force an overtime frame. When the extra time on the clock failed to determine a winner, a shootout was added to the mix. The Canucks won the shootout, and the game 3-2, on Oct. 8. Sam Jardine and Connor Mailey garnered the single markers for Camrose. Goalie Gibney stopped 22 of 24 shots, while the Kodiaks pelted the Canucks with 44 shots. "We had a h iccup against Calgary. We had a s low start and then worked hard to get back into the game, and we got our legs going," said Craig. "We have to take the positives out of the game. Knowing we can come back gives us confidence for the future. We should have won in overtime. It taught us that we have to come out hard right from the start and that every team is going to play bigger against us." The Camrose Kodiaks defeated the Drumheller Dragons 3-2 on October 6. The Dragons didn't stop breathing down

Pro Sports Photography Luc Vandale found a gift in front of the Drumheller Dragons' net and jumped on the scoring opportunity to help give his team a 4-0 victory. The Camrose Kodiaks have seized their offensive changes while playing good defence so far this season in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

The Kodiaks' coaching staff realizes that team defence wins championships. "We have a lot of depth and the coaches have confidence in throwing any one of us out there in key situations." After a sc oreless opening period, Drumheller netted the only tally in the second. The game heated up in the third as Camrose scored three goals, including a short-handed marker. Ross McMullan and deChamplain collected the other goals for Camrose. Goalie Hopfe stopped 21 of 23 shots directed at

him. The Kodiaks fired 42 shots at the Dragons' net. "We know Spruce Grove, Brooks and even Okotoks are teams we have to step up and beat because it measures our progress," added Craig. After a two-game trip to Canmore, the Kodiaks make stops in Olds and Drumheller before hosting the Canmore Eagles at the Edgeworth Centre at 2 p .m. on October 30. The always powerful Spruce Grove Saints are here on Nov. 3 for a 7:30 p.m. start.

They scored off an interception return in the first quarter. We could not get any sustained drives on offence for most of the game," said Fitz. "Finally, in the third quarter, we were able to score after we made some personnel changes. The Buccaneers' offence had a tremendous advantage in time of possession for most of the game, but our defence came up big time after time." Some of the players who played well included Joshua Moores, Kris Lee, Kieran Sherman, Kody Allen and Dalton Chartrand, who was playing halfback for the first time. The Buffaloes played a make-up contest that didn't matter in the standings for Camrose. They played the Edmonton Chargers, arguably the best team in the atom division. The Chargers only allowed one A Camrose Buffaloes peewee player makes a touchdown saving open field tackle against the St. Albert Buccaneers touchdown all season heading into this at Kin Park on Oct. 8.

game. The Chargers won 45-6 on the strength of two special teams touchdowns. "Our team played well against this very polished team, with 40 players on their roster. We never gave up and can hold our heads high with the effort they put in today," said Fitz as he praised his players. "They played much better than the week before. The Chargers came out passing, but our defensive backs played well to keep them from completing a lot of passes." The Buffaloes' defence came up with another interception in the game. "Our defence was aided by some strong tackling at certain parts of the game. Our only touchdown was scored using a quarterback sneak up the middle for about 60 yards, which caught the Chargers' defence by surprise. My game ball today goes to Cameron Dunbar, who made two great tackles, had an interception and a few nice runs on kick returns." Coach Fitz noted other players who stood out were Owen MacPherson, Jon Griffiths (who had a s trong game at tailback), Noah Segal, Kevin Kittler, and Tanner Woody (centre who opened the hole up the middle for the touchdown). All three Camrose teams are now preparing for playoffs. The Buffaloes will likely be playing road games in the extra season.

The players have bought into the close checking defensive game that wins games when it matters. "It is great for the young guys to experience tight games early in the season. That will pay off when it comes to playoff time," said Craig. "Everyone has learned that defence comes first. We have experience on defence, and that helps. But, the young defencemen we have stepped up and fit right in."

Roadshow is coming to Camrose TERRY INKLER Canadian Collectors Roadshow Staff Writer After very successful shows in Western Canada, The Roadshow is coming to Camrose. So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver. During a show near Toronto, a woman came in with a jewellery box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery she was never going to wear anyway. Expert Elijah Gold explains, “We have noticed a substantial

were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”. She explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can ﬁnally afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”. Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbies are

sought after by the Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it. A man brought in a 1950s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that speciﬁc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the roadshow!

increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!” At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather. She ﬁnally decided to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that

Alberta Health Services (AHS) is partnering with Alberta businesses in a program that aims to help the province’s two million employed adults be healthy and stay healthy. The Workplace Health Improvement Program (WHIP) will give employers the tools and resources needed to help their employees enjoy a good quality of life. “Businesses have the ability to positively influence their employees’ well-being by promoting healthy lifestyle choices and offering work/home balance,” says program co-ordinator Marlynn Kennedy. “For business leaders, the hardest part is knowing how to get started and how to measure the benefits. WHIP provides businesses with the resources and expertise to do that.” Promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles is among the goals outlined in the 5-Year Health Action Plan, jointly developed by the Government of Alberta and AHS, and supported by the province’s stable, five-year funding. As part of the pilot project, AHS workplace consultants will work with six participating businesses over the next several months. The consultants present an educational workshop on the importance of workplace health that explains how to develop an effective, custom-made workplace health strategy. Later, the consultants assess the companies’ organizational culture, occupational health and safety policies, and the overall health of their employees. From this assessment, a set of recommendations is developed for each organization, as well as a list of service providers, programs and resources that can help the business improve the health of its employees. Patrick Carriere, manager of Health, Safety and Wellness for SAIT Polytechnic, says the school is grateful to have the opportunity to participate in the project. “SAIT is c ommitted to the health and safety of our students and employees, and working with the AHS professionals provides us additional means to continue to improve our health management programs,” says Carriere. “The WHIP program integrates very well with our goal of reducing health-related issues for the SAIT community. We are fortunate to have a partner who shares a commitment to advancing the well-being of our campus and we look forward to continuing our work together.” Employee absence costs Canadian businesses $8.6 billion per year and worksite health promotion programs can reduce sick leave by an average of 28 per cent, studies show.

MacLean Centre features Jury's artwork By Jane Cherry-Lemire

A bare wall is s tark and uninspiring, which is why the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre is actively trying to feature a different show each month. The shows vary from travelling shows coordinated by the Alberta Foundation of the Arts or Edmonton Art Gallery, the annual art walk, various theme shows and retrospective shows of local artists. This month is see ing two shows. The first was the annual mandala show that was part of Alberta Arts Days and ran from Sept. 30th to Oct. 7th and, from now to Oct. 28th, we will feature a small retrospective show of local artist Clarice Jury. Clarice is a m ember of the Mirror Lake Art Club in Camrose. She is mostly self taught but has taken some classes over the years. Clarice has been enjoying and creating art for many years and especially when she retired from her business in 1985. Her mediums of choice are oils, watercolours and acrylics. Clarice also does quilting and has recently created some garden sculptures after taking a cla ss at the Arts Centre. Clarice’s show can be viewed Monday to Saturday typically between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Meeting on Augustana area redevelopment plan Oct. 25 By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose will be initiating the Augustana Area Development Plan process by hosting an open house at St. Andrew's Anglican Church Oct. 25. A short presentation will be made at 7:15. The open house will be a chance for Augustana area residents to learn how they can get involved in shaping their neighbourhood. "We have various avenues proposed for obtaining public input and citizen engagement and we are hoping that many will come out and be included

in this grass roots plan or initiative," said City of Camrose director of planning and development Brenda Hisey at council's Oct. 11 meeting. "Obviously we have had some proposals in the past that residents were a bit leery of, and one-offs are not good. If you have input from the neighbourhood you have buy-in from the neighbourhood and that is what we are looking for. It should provide future development with some certainty and streamline the development process." The City of Camrose is hoping residents and property owners in the Augustana neighbour-

hood will want to participate in a working group that is b eing set up to provide guidance on land use planning, review and provide feedback on the proposed public engagement process and materials, evaluate public comments received during the consultation program, provide recommendations on modifying the redevelopment plan, and make recommendations on the plan's content. Councillor Gerry Galenza told council Oct. 3 t hat the Augustana redevelopment plan is something residents have wanted ever since there were proposals a number of years ago to increase the area's density.

"It is a win win situation," he said. "With this I think they will have a clear idea of the rules and regulations. "I think with the university it will be a positive step." Area residents will be notified of the Augustana Area Redevelopment Plan kick-off via the City website, newspapers and mailout. Residents will be asked at the meeting how they would like to be informed about the ongoing process. "We want to be extremely open about everything and anything that has to do with the neighbourhood," said Hisey. "We intend to have an all-

inclusive forum of public engagement for this project. This plan is going to help develop the neighbourhood to what the residents of the area want." The City of Camrose Municipal Development Plan, policy 2.2 states that while redevelopment is generally anticipated adjacent to downtown and near the University of Alberta, these areas are also home to significant historical resources that should be protected and enhanced. The plan also states that development within the built area should be sensitive to the existing context and integrate appropriately with adjacent properties.

Council accepts proposal By Dan Jensen

A proposal from O2 Planning + Design in the amount of $59,808 for the creation of an Augustana Area Redevelopment Plan has been accepted by City council. City of Camrose staff rated six proposals on the basis of the proponents' credentials and suitability, response to the Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements, and the resource/rate price. "The prices of the proposals were relatively close, with the exception of one proposal which came in at double the budget," said a report presented to council by City director of planning and development Brenda Hisey. "While any of the proposals would have been acceptable, O2 Pla nning + D esign had the highest proportion of public interaction and a strong sense of neighbourhood design considerations and emerged as the proposal that had the best fit and value for the project budget." O2 Planning + D esign is a m ultidisciplinary firm consisting of landscape architects, planners, urban designers, environmental scientists and civil engineers that operates out of the City of Calgary. The firm was founded in 1991 and has garnered national and international awards for landscape architecture and planning. "The team from O2 + Design assembled to work on the Area Development Plan is highly experienced and has engaged other communities in similar projects," said Hisey. "O2 + Design comes highly recommended by former clients." A full list of projects on which O2 + D esign has worked can be found at www.o2design.com.

Fox fundraiser Forty-nine children from the Gardner College Kids' Campus participated in a Little Fox Run Sept. 28. The children, who were accompanied by 12 staff members and six parents, wound up raising just under $300 for cancer research.

Benefits of breast cancer screening outweigh risks Canadian women overwhelmingly believe that the benefits of earlier breast cancer screening programs are far more important to them than the limited risks of false positive results, a n ew national public opinion survey shows. The survey, conducted by Strategic Communications Inc. on behalf of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, sought views about breast cancer screening from 1,670 Canadian women. Breast cancer continues to be the most frequently diagnosed cancer among Canadian women. Today, 1 i n 6 women who die from breast cancer are diagnosed in their 40s. When women were provided information about the potential for "false positives" during screening and what the outcomes of those results could be, 87.5 per cent of respondents still felt the benefits of organized screening for women 40 to 49 were more important. In fact, Canadian women appear to be more concerned about being thoroughly-tested than the possibility of a false alarm. The survey found that if offered the choice between two theoretical screening tests: A majority (63 per cent) of Canadian women would choose a sc reening test that

"never misses cancer but 1-in10 tests are false alarms." Only 20 per cent would choose a test that "misses 1-in3 cancers but gives no false alarms." The public opinion findings support scientific findings that emerged from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's It's About Time! Scientific Consensus report, based on a c onference which involved more than 70 leading researchers, clinicians and decision makers from Canada, the United States and Europe. The conference reviewed the most relevant and current screening research and concluded that women 40 to 49 benefit from access to organized breast cancer screening programs. In addition, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation National Grant Competition on the Earlier Detection of Breast Cancer, a $5 million initiative, will be launched this month, underscoring the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's commitment to earlier detection as a nation-wide priority to reduce the impact of breast cancer. The new survey research reveals that more than 85 per cent of Canadian women feel organized screening for women ages 40 to 49 is effective, while 88 per cent believe it is

"very important" that women across the country have equal access to organized breast screening programs. "While recognizing current economic challenges and the need to ensure that women over age 50 c ontinue to have full access to organized screening, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (CBCF) believes that we need to work towards all Canadian women aged 40 to 49 being able to participate in provincial and territorial organized breast screening programs," said Sandra Palmaro, CEO o f the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation Ontario Region. "Breast cancer screening technology is evolving. Treatments are improving. But one fact remains – we know from scientific evidence that earlier detection and diagnosis through an organized breast cancer screening program can save lives and reduce mortality among women 40 to 49 at average risk of diagnosis by an estimated 25 per cent." The survey also showed that about half of Canadian women are confused about when they become eligible for organized breast cancer screening, which is a barrier to participation. In six provinces or territories – British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia,

Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Yukon – women 40 to 49 a re eligible for organized programs. However, in six others – O ntario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick and Newfoundland – they are not eligible until age 50. Dr. Martin Yaffe, a breast cancer researcher at Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, said one in six women who die from breast cancer are diagnosed in their 40s. "Many women who die from the disease in their 50s might have been diagnosed with earlier stage breast cancer and treated more effectively had they been screened in their 40s," he said. "Over 10 years, an estimated 1800 lives might potentially be saved if these women were screened in their 40s. " In Canada, federallyissued recommendations on breast cancer early detection and diagnosis have not been updated since 2001. Since that time, new evidence and technologies have emerged on a range of relevant screening issues. The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health is expected to release new clinical practice guidelines and recommendations on breast cancer screening this fall. "CBCF is e ncouraging those provinces and territo-

ries where organized screening does not start until age 50 to take a f irst step and allow women 40 to 49 t o join organized screening programs when recommended by their health care providers," said Palmaro. *The survey by Strategic Communications Inc. of 1,671 Canadian women was conducted July 22-25, 2011. It was statistically weighted to ensure the sample's regional age composition reflects the actual Canadian population according to the 2006 Census. The results are considered accurate +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times in 20. About the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation For the last 25 years, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation has been at the forefront of a na tion-wide movement to raise awareness and mobilize action on breast cancer. Today, the Foundation is t he leading organization in Canada dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer. Since 1986, from coast to coast, we have invested over $230 million to fund vital research, education and health promotion programs that have led progress in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care.

To say the Augustana Vikings were eager to start the hockey regular season in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference would be an understatement. Coach Blaine Gusdal had a tough time holding his players back as they crushed the Portage Voyageurs 15-0 in the home opener at the Edgeworth Centre. Daniel Hope led the offensive charge with a h at trick. Three other players garnered two goals each in support: Casey Rempel, Mathew Foster and Kenny Bradley. Single markers were added by Brad Bourke, Quinn Amiel, Darryl Gagnon, Brenden Stephen, Dane Bonish and Torrie Dyck. The Vikings were eight for 12 on the power play. Augustana goalie Joel Danyluk stopped all 24 shots he faced. Two Portage goalies made 51 saves on 66 shots. The next night, the teams turned it into a hockey game as Augustana won 6-2 in Lac La Biche on Oct. 8. It was Scott Aucion's turn to shine when he led the scoring with two. Bonish, Amiel, Bradley and Hope chipped in with single tallies for the Vikings. Goalie Paul Kolida turned aside 24 of 26 shots. The Voyageurs used two goalies and they stopped 14 of 20 shots. Former Daysland Minor Hockey player Matt Stefanishion made his presence felt in a SAIT Trojans uniform. He scored twice to lead his team to a 4 -3 win over the Grant MacEwan Griffins. Stefanishion broke a 3 -3 tie with 3:17 remaining in the second frame to give the Trojans a close 4-3 victory. Stefanishion is in his third year of electrical engineering technology studies. SAIT players extended their winning streak over the Griffins to 16 games. But, it wasn't easy with two one-goal games. The Trojans won 2-1 in the first game. The Augustana Vikings face the Grant MacEwan Griffins on Oct. 21, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Encana Arena. On Saturday, the same two teams tangle in Edmonton at 8:15 p.m. Augustana travels to Briercrest for two games on Oct. 28 and 29. The Vikings are back home on Nov. 5 when the Mount Royal Cougars provide the opposition.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER October 18, 2011

Working Well Workshop presented by Camrose County and County of Stettler Help protect your water wells. Have you had your well water tested in the last two years? Have old unused wells on your property been properly sealed and decommissioned? Have you ever shock chlorinated your well? Do you know the age and depth of your well, or how it was constructed? According to Alberta water specialist Ken Williamson, if you answered ‘NO’ to any of these questions, your groundwater supply could be at risk. Despite the fact that 450,000 Albertans rely on groundwater for household use, few know that proper water well construction, siting, and maintenance can help protect your well from contamination.

Keeping pharmacy care safe for you – it’s our job!

To ensure the safety of your water well, you should also know how far your septic system is from your well. Septic tanks should be regularly pumped and inspected. You should also disinfect your well on a regular basis. It is also important to regularly test and document the quality and quantity of water from your well. By keeping good records you can see how water quality and well performance has changed over time. Proper well maintenance and operation can save you costly repairs and ensure your well water yields are sustained over many years. If you’d like to ﬁnd out if your groundwater is at risk and learn what you can do to protect your well,

attend a free water well management workshop

The CAMROSE BOOSTER October 18, 2011

Australian adventures

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

By Laura-Joy Lindstrand

When we first moved to Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, the simple task of mowing the lawn was quite scary for us. I was hesitant as I pulled the cord to start the mower. Inhaling the amiable August scent of gas and grass, I rea lized how far away from home I was. I was, after all, mowing the lawn on a J anuary evening after the day's heat had lost its intensity. I ch ecked my gloves for any hidden critters one final time and steeled myself for what was to come. Australia has some of the most poisonous beasties in the world. From snakes to spiders, some of the inhabitants have got venom that I’m pretty sure could take down a grizzly. Spanning between some of the trees were elegant (and massive) webs with large eightlegged (and unknown) residents. Although I didn’t get close enough to discover this for fact, I was fairly certain that my arachnid neighbours were prepared to pounce on any naive but wellintentioned Canadian. That mid-January evening finished with me watching an amber sun going down on a mostly mowed lawn. Not the type to sit back and let fear take hold of me, I decided to arm myself with knowledge. I began the critter exploration adventure with my four-year-old son, Sevrin. Sevrin and I h ave taken many long walks, armed with a camera and a stick. After the walks we search the Internet for names of the creatures that matched our pictures. Early in our stay my husband, Jon, spent a bit of time talking to coworkers and students at school about the native wildlife. After having his leg pulled a number of times by a few good natured jokers, Jon has learned that some of those scary spiders from our back yard are a v ariety that you actually WANT around because they eat the poisonous spiders. W e are also becoming quite educated on the spiders around our home. We have seen 11 species of spiders including the St. A ndrew's Cross, Red Back (a relative of Black Widows), and Huntsman Spiders. While some have been so small they are difficult to see, others have been the size of my hand. Snakes are also residents of this area. We are very aware of their possible presence, and have even seen a few (one of them a brown snake which is h ighly venomous). We are thankful that our snake exposure has not been up close and personal, and through our quest of information we have learned how to best avoid snakes, and what to do if we were to ever receive a bite. For the people that live here, the snakes and spiders may be a part of daily life, but for us, the critters are certainly a major part of our adventure. From the very beginning when we mowed the lawn, we learned to arm ourselves with knowledge. We have found that the more familiar we become with the critters that live around us, the less unsettled we feel when we see them. There is one main rule that guides our critter exploration, and that is: never touch. So far, it is working for us.

Energy-efficient lighting, let there be bright light Did you know that an energy saving light bulb will last an average of 10,000 hours, which translates into nine years, at a rate of three hours per day? Another interesting fact: Energy savings can reach 75% compared to incandescent bulbs. As floor lamps are particularly wasteful of energy, this type of light fixture should be the first to be replaced. According to Natural Resources Canada, replacing a regular light bulb with a c ompact fluorescent one bearing the Energy Star symbol in every household would be the equivalent of taking 66,000 cars off our roads! To choose the right energy

saving light bulb, apply the 4 to 1 rule: All you have to do is divide the number of watts on a reg ular bulb by 4, meaning that one efficient bulb consumes approximately a qu arter of the energy consumed by an ordinary one. Can we put energy efficient bulbs in household garbage? Never! Compact fluorescent bulbs should always be considered hazardous household waste, in the same way as paint and batteries. It’s important, therefore, to place these bulbs in properly sealed bags and take them to your municipal hazardous waste site. This winter, don’t forget to choose DEL exterior Christmas

lights to reduce your electricity consumption during this time of year when demand is at its highest. These lights consume 90% less energy on average than ordinary bulbs and last seven times longer — a rea l gift to our environment! The international symbol of energy efficiency, Energy Star, found on some light fixtures, helps consumers make the right choices when shopping. To obtain more information on this subject, visit the Energy Star Website at energystar.gc.ca. By consuming less we make a collective investment in energy efficiency and the well-being of future generations.

Brenda became friends with everyone she met . She ha d a twinkle in her eye and a tinkle in her laugh that sucked you in and held you tight. If there was a cause or a need, she was there to fight for it or help out. She has touched and inspired so many people during her life and especially the past few years with her journey. She will be lovingly missed by her husband Carman Wilson of R ed Deer; her p arents George and Joyce Odovichuc of Ca mrose; sisters Kari Mykitiuk, Jodi (Jason) Hilmoe, Tara Odovichuc; nieces and nephews; and numerous other extended family members. “Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is His unfailing love.” – Lamentations 3:32.

sex predators, and the most dangerous and violent young offenders. Bill C-10 will institute mandatory minimum sentences for specific drug and sexual assault offences and curtail the use of conditional sentences; strengthen pre-trial custody and sentencing for repeat and violent young offenders. As your Member of Parliament, over the past ten years I regularly heard from you urging the federal government to make the changes we recommend in Bill C-10. Many of our local church groups, the Alberta Women’s Institute, victims of crime, and outraged citizens have filled my filing cabinets and spoken out at Town Halls and Constituency Satellite Office Meetings demanding protection from the perpetrators of the crimes listed in Bill C-10. In Parliament, the nine bills that are contained in C-10 have been debated on 52 separate days, including 250 speeches. They have also been debated in committee in 58 separate meet-

ings, hearing 295 witnesses. Over the past several years, political ‘foot-dragging’ and ‘whining’ about the rights of criminals by all the Opposition parties has delayed or obstructed each of these nine pieces of legislation from becoming law during the minority parliaments and during the last Liberal majority parliament. These parties all ‘talk the talk’ on the campaign trail – but they’re not serious about implementing strong measures to protect communities and prevent further victims of the criminals targeted by Bill C-10. The political frustration of the Opposition explains much of their objection to Bill C-10 – they know that our Conservative majority will complete the work called for in Bill C-10. I was an early speaker in the 2nd Reading Debate on C-10 in the House of Commons. My job was to describe the ‘grizzly’ sexual offences committed against helpless innocent children and the specifics of the increase in sentences for those found guilty of committing these violent and even heinous offences. Bill C-10 includes measures to prevent trafficking, abuse and exploitation of immigrants; helps victims of terrorism sue the perpetrators; ends house arrest or ‘home jail’ for serious property and other crimes involving violence; and more. While there is strong political support for Bill C-10’s measures in our constituency, many other ridings across Canada (particularly in cities besieged by illicit drug-funded organized crime and gang-crime) share our view. It is high time for the Opposition parties to finally take action to protect Canadian citizens by supporting Bill C-10.

Teach childen how to be safe

While recent news coverage – from stories on the Sparwood abduction to federal crime legislation – h as made child personal safety a top-of-mind subject of late, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection is calling on all Canadians to use this as a c atalyst to make the education of child personal safety a national priority. “The safety and protection of our children deserves to be more than a w eek of headlines and tweets,” said Lianna McDonald, Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection. “It is n ot enough to merely talk about the issue or just criticize. Every single one of us has a role to play in the protection of Canada’s children and it’s time to step up and make the safety of our kids a national priority.” Noni Classen, Director of Education at the Canadian Cen-

tre, urged parents to regularly set time aside to talk to their kids and to teach them how to be safe. She urged educators at every grade level to use the Canadian Centre’s Kids in the Know safety education program to empower students and build their competency in using safety strategies. “This program uses effective and current research-based safety strategies to provide kids with the tools and skills they need to reduce their risk of victimization,” said Classen. “It’s the only one of its kind in Canada that spans kindergarten to high school that addresses both personal safety and sexual exploitation in real world and online environments. If we want to reduce our children’s risk of victimization, then safety education must become an integrated part of their lives.” Pointing to the more than

53,000 child sexual exploitation reports that have been received by Cybertip.ca, Classen said it is alarmingly clear that more must be done to increase the safety of Canada’s children. “Kids of all ages are at risk, and they face different risks at different ages – particularly as they explore the online world and new technologies,” said Classen. “We have to step up, do more and start making safety education an ongoing dialogue in our homes, our schools and in our communities.” Parents and teachers can access numerous free educational resources, safety strategies, interactive games and other age-specific safety activities by visiting the Canadian Centre’s website (protectchildren.ca) or its Kids in the Know education program website (kidsintheknow.ca).

Camrose County adds support to Ohaton rink project By Murray Green

Camrose County has agreed to help the Ohaton Athletic Association with machinery and operators to remove the old rink and prepare the site for a new facility. Ohaton Athletic Association president Brent Bowie and sports park director Gord Graham informed council that the old rink is no longer repairable and is going to be a safety concern in the near future. The association maintains the hall, the rink, the playground and the sports park. The rink and the playground are on county land and fall under its liability. The rink is planned to be turned into a facility that can be used all year. The Ohaton Athletic Association wants to build the rink on a concrete pad so it can be used for other functions, such as basketball and roller blading. The $150,000 multi-purpose project could receive funding from different sources. So far, the County has donated four hours of grader time and awarded $37,500 through the legacy grant. "We need $7,150 from the County in goods (machinery and operators) to move onto our next phase," said Brent. "Once we have the County's backing, we can proceed to apply for government funding. We don't want the dollars, (from the County) we want the gifts in kind and agree to have the work done, so w e can apply to Alberta Gaming." He explained that they have volunteers who mow the grass and prepare the site for

installing ice. "We understand things take time and we would like the work done next spring or summer. Our goal is to have the facility in place for next winter, not this year," said Brent. He indicated the group would canvass businesses and groups if they have a shortfall, and not come back to County for more funds. "We have a group here that, as a community, is maintaining ball diamonds and a h all. They're putting in the surface every year on their own," said councillor Brian Austrom, who made the motion just to supply grader time at an August meeting. "We certainly, as a council, have made it a priority that we want to see development in our hamlets. So we're the benefactor, ultimately, of what these volunteers are doing for our community. I would like my motion reconsidered." Councillors expressed concerns that all other hamlets should be treated equally. "When you consider that there are volunteers working in all the hamlets, we have to be very careful that all volunteers in all the hamlets are treated the same," said councillor Vern Peterson. County administrator Steve Gerlitz quickly responded that the County is res ponsible for anything on County land, especially since a Co unty inspector has declared the rink to be unsafe. "The County helped with the Round Hill playground because it is on County land. Another example is i n Armena, where we are also putting

in a playground. We are being very fair and treating them the same. Because this skating rink falls on County property, it is 100 per cent County responsibility." Ohaton needs the support of the County to move on to the next phase. "We have an athletic association here that wants to work with the County and they are taking the time to apply for the CIP grant to get $75,000, which the County can no longer apply for. Our priority is to give our hamlets a ch ance to grow and we're doing that by putting in green space, by putting in recreation, and by making it a good place to live," said Steve. Councillor Trevor Miller made a m otion to provide the work requested so t he project can move forward. "Now that I know we have an association as dedicated and as passionate about getting it done, and keeping it looking good, and the upkeep will be done, I think it's part of the government's responsibility, which is u s, to provide safe communities and that's not just having CPOs driving through, but actually giving a place for the youth to go. I had a big concern that we would go into something big and it would go d ecrepit real quick, that doesn't look good at all. We have a thing here that we want to make our communities thrive and our hamlets get better, and here we have a chance to do that. This is on the leading edge of doing something to make our communities thrive and be safe," Trevor concluded. The motion was carried.

Battle River Community Foundation treasurer James Mayer and former Camrose Lions Club president Jim Taylor presented a cheque for $1,500 to City of Camrose facilities, scheduling and marketing manager Jim Cook for the Silent Sponsor Program.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $1,500 to the City of Camrose Silent Sponsor Program. Operated through the Camrose Minor Sports Association, the Silent Sponsor Program financially assists individuals who cannot afford the total cost of registration fees related to specific sports/culture programs in which they enroll their child. The program assists in paying a percentage of these fees.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects such as this, in east central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a p ositive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations who have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds

is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Some grant funding is also made available by generous donors who make annual gifts to the Battle River Community Foundation. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1,100,000 to support important local initiatives and organizations.

Dodge Journey Making a good thing even better By Dan Jensen

The 2012 Dodge Journey at Camrose Chrysler is an example of how something good can be made even better. "When it comes to affordability, power, fuel efficiency and versatility, this is one fleet vehicle that truly delivers it all," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier. Journey's Canadian Value Package and SE models are powered by a 2.4 litre 16-valve DOHC four-cylinder engine that produces 173 horsepower and 166 lb.-ft. of torque, linked to a four-speed automatic transmission. This four-cylinder engine uses just 10.8 litres per 100 km travelled in the city and 7.5 litres per 100 km travelled on the highway. The award-winning 3.6 litre Pentastar V-6 engine, standard on SXT, Crew and R/T models produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, and is m ated to a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. This Pentastar V-6 engine was recognized as Ward's 10 "Ten Best Engines for 2011." In addition to excellent power it uses just 12.6 litres per 100 km in the city and just 8.4 litres per 100 km on the highway. With a f ive-year/100,000 kilometre limited powertrain warranty, owners can rest assured knowing their powerful and efficient Journey is well covered.

Attention to detail

Dodge Journey offers levels of refinement not typically found in the crossover market. A beautifully crafted premium, soft-touch one-piece instrument panel sets the tone. A standard Electronic Vehicle Information Centre is positioned in the centre of the gauge cluster, which has a full-colour display backlit in Dodge red lights, giving it a soft glow unlike any in the segment. The flexible centre console features premium cushioning on the tilt-and-slide armrest. Lift the lid and there's a la rger centre storage bin with a 12-volt outlet and USB port where owners can hook up their MP3/iPod charging connections and hide them away. Rear seat passengers can now enjoy a R ear Seat Video system (available for Journey Crew and R/T AWD models). The design team also worked to make the Journey's interior very comfortable and extremely flexible. There's a large front storage bin with side nets, a multi-functioning, three-spoke steering wheel with integrated controls, and a wide, long, soft-touch armrest that transforms the driver's seat into a cockpit-like experience. Comfortable seats might just make drivers want to take the long way home to get a little extra seat time. Engineers also developed many treatments to reduce noise, vibration and harshness. One example is the Journey's dual dash silencer, which isolates the cabin, making for a nice, quiet ride. The interior isn't just a nice place to be, it also offers best-in-class utility. Second and optional third-row seats fold flat for additional storage. There are also innovative storage bins in the floor ahead of the second-row seats

that can hold everything from muddy clothes to soda cans, to c oncealing valuables like a c amera, laptop or purse. With fold-flat front storage and front passenger in-seat storage, Dodge Journey has best-in-class storage. Journey also offers some standard features not commonly found in the segment, such as power heated and fold-away mirrors, dual-zone climate control, illuminated cup holders, Keyless Enter-N-Go with push button start, and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls. Owners will feel like they have the world at their fingertips with the Journey's available touchscreen command centre, Uconnect Touch. From navigation to voice-command music selections to the ability to check fuel prices, the Uconnect Touch media centre makes life in the Journey an excellent adventure for the driver and passengers. Four Uconnect Touch models are available, all featuring easy-to-use controls and class-leading technology. With its touchscreen display and user-friendly, touch-screen categories, connecting and controlling personal devices is simple, intuitive and customizable. Safety is paramount

Journey has been an international top safety pick for three consecutive years and is loaded with an abundance of over 40 safety and security features, including standard advanced multi-stage front passenger air bags, active head restrains, ESC with all-speed traction control, electronic roll mitigation and Brake Assist, driv-

Dodge Journey also offers all-wheel-drive capability, perfect for drivers who want some extra grip for a more performance feel, or who appreciate the extra traction Journey's all-wheel-drive system provides. Dodge Journey features standard ESC and all-speed traction control, which help keep the crossover on path in a variety of road surface and weather conditions. Journey's available all-wheel-drive electronic control module works with the ESC and traction control systems, allowing the ESC to use the ECC to help gain control of the vehicle, reducing the amount of torque that the ECC transmits to the rear wheels.

On the outside, Journey maintains its sculpted, clean, aggressive lines and front fascia that sports the signature Dodge brand "split crosshair" grille. Journeys with the Pentastar 3.6 litre V-6 get a m ore aggressive lower front fascia and a rear fascia with integrated, duel bright exhaust tips.

OLMP captures regionals

By Murray Green

The Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School junior high cross-country running team placed first in the event in Hardisty on October 6. Coaches Beth Fraser and Sue Wolfe assembled a team of 28 runners for the fall season. "The students practiced twice a week during the noon hour break and after school," said Beth. "We practiced every day, but the students had to attend at least two of the sessions each week. We also encouraged them to run on their own." To prepare for regionals, the cross-country running team entered an event in New Norway. "Our school finished first and then at the regional meet we were first again," explained Beth. "We are proud of them. It is good for school spirit and good for the students because it leads to a h ealthy lifestyle." Kiana Smith placed second for her age group. "At lunch time, we ran to the Edgeworth Centre and after school we went to the valley to train. For Grade 8 girls, the course was about 1,500 metres. At regionals, there were about 40 runners in my group. Overall, I think our school did well in placing near the top. Our school had the most points, so that was good."

Martin at home in Boston Pizza Cup As the defending champion, the Kevin Martin curling rink will have the local advantage next February. Martin grew up in the Lougheed area and played a lot of hockey and curling in Camrose. His friends and family will be supporting him at the men's provincials hosted by the Rose City Curling Club.

Local curling favourite Kevin Martin will have the crowd behind him at the Boston Pizza Cup in Camrose next February. Martin, who is no stranger to Camrose or the arena ice, curled at the Edgeworth Centre in the Continental Cup in 2008. "Anytime you have a m odern building, the ice can be very well-kept and consistent and that is really important to players for the start to the finish of an event. That's what you get in Camrose," said Kevin. Martin and his rink were the first to qualify for the Boston Pizza Cup (men's provincials) because they are the defending champions. He was thrilled to learn the competition was in the Rose City. "I'm from Lougheed. My mother- and father-in-law live in Camrose and I h ave a l ot of friends out there," added Kevin. "From a fa n's point of view, it is really curling country. Every town in the area has a c urling club and every time you play there, you know you are going to get knowledgeable fans who understand the game. It is what you want at provincials." Martin spent a lot of his early curling years in the Lougheed, Killam and Viking area. "I also spent a lot of time playing hockey and curling in Camrose a l ong time ago. So now, to come back will be great. The rural and city crowd support will be awesome. If there are 3,000 fans cheering, I think that helps me." January is a b usy month for curling, and Martin is okay with the idea of already qualifying. "I'm not sure there is a n advantage; it comes down to the fact of who is c urling well at that time of year. I'll be in Dawson Creek (for a Grand Slam event), which has a new arena, and the conditions should be very similar to Camrose and that may help. Other teams will have to qualify in

club rinks, so that is one positive for our team or for other teams that pre-qualify." Martin captured the West Coast Curling Classic recently and had to beat rival Randy Ferby to do it. "They are playing very well right now and you can pretty much say they will be there (in Camrose). I d on't think that rivalry needs to get fired up," Martin said with a laugh. "We have been curling against each other for a v ery long time." Martin's rink has been together for six years as a team. "You never know how players react under pressure. With our experience, and going to Olympics, everyone understands their role. It takes time to establish that experience." However, the young curlers who are coming into high level competitions are doing so with a lot of talent. "I think that is one thing that is really changing our sport. The average age of the competitor is rea lly dropping. The players are getting really strong at a young age and I t hink that is the biggest thing I see in games. Because they are getting strong at a young age, by the time they get to the 27 to 29 year age, man, they are tough to beat," Kevin said. He cited the junior programs, ACAC curling and CIS curling as having stronger programs and coaching. "That (college and university) has really bridged the gap between junior and the men's tour. That is the difference in the sport." Some of the strongest competition in the world comes from this province. "It definitely helps when you have good competition. It makes you better. Playing someone like Rob Schlender (from Wetaskiwin) is a lways tough. I h ope he makes it to provincials. Alberta is so strong, so we will see great curling in Camrose."

New permitting system will increase revenue for the City By Dan Jensen

A new permitting system developed by Alberta Transportation will help the City of Camrose receive what it is due from operators of oversized and overweight vehicles. City of Camrose engineering services general manager Elvis Riou told City council last week that by using TRAVIS multi-jurisdictional software system the City will be able to receive from the province permit revenue it has not previously been able to collect. "Under the new system the City would have received fees

of $15 per permit for 890 permits, for a t otal of $13,350," said Riou. Although the Alberta Traffic Act requires truck drivers to have both municipal and provincial permits for oversize and overweight loads, most receive only the provincial permit. The TRAVIS multi-jurisdictional system provides a one-stop-shop permit program that allows drivers to apply for and obtain a si ngle permit for provincial, as well as municipal highways. The City of Camrose has not received any permit applications

for oversize or overweight vehicle movements this year. "We are missing most if not all of the heavy and over dimension traffic through the City," said Riou. "We can't say 100 per cent they are not contacting us but in the majority of cases they are not contacting us to get a City permit, which they should be doing under existing regulations." "The majority of the permits are for local moves of structures and for the temporary placement of storage containers on the street, rather than for the movement of oversize and overweight vehicles."

The TRAVIS multi-jurisdictional software system automatically checks the route of oversized and overweight vehicles to ensure that the roads and bridges on which they will be travelling are adequate. Municipalities are notified by e-mail of each application and of any permits that are issued, allowing them to monitor and enforce vehicle movements. Municipalities receive an administration fee per move, as well as a prorated portion of the mileage based permit fee. "The system has reduced the waiting time for industry and has reduced the number of manual

errors where permits were issued with incorrect routes," states Alberta Transportation. Alberta Transportation started to implement a o ne-stop permit system for oversize and overweight vehicle movements in 2009 with a pilot group of municipalities. The plan is to implement the system province-wide in 2012 in concert with new regulations. Riou noted that while the software is free of charge, administration will be faced with the up front cost of uploading the data (into the program) and managing the information.

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

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

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

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

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

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

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