The Camrose Regional Exhibition is the site chosen for The Open Door's 6th annual Bed Race. It will take place on Saturday, October 29, with judging of the racing-beds being held at 12:30 p.m. At about 1:00 p.m. you'll hear words to this effect:

"Ladies and Gentlemen:

START YOUR BEDS! Let the first race begin!"

Teams of five individuals will be designing beds, collecting pledges and racing their finished products. All money raised will go towards supportive housing in a quest to provide a temporary overnight stay to youth from our community who are at risk. From the start of 2011, until the end of June, The Open Door has provided 675 beds to 45 Camrose youth. In addition, 175 meals were also provided to youth in need.

It’s your watershed. What do you want it to look like? The Battle River Watershed Alliance (BRWA) is proud to announce the completion of its “State of the Battle River and Sounding Creek Watersheds Report 2011.” This summary report provides an overview of the current ecological, social and economic conditions in our watersheds. With the launch of this report, the BRWA is h osting community workshops across the Battle River and Sounding Creek watersheds. The same information will be provided at each workshop, so you can attend the workshop that works best for you. The purpose of these workshops is to share information from the “State of” report and hear from watershed residents and stakeholders on the issues and opportunities facing our watersheds. These discussions will help inform our decisions as we move forward in planning how best to manage our watersheds. Formally, we call this the watershed management planning process. Are you interested in learning more about the state of your watershed? Want to share your perspective on watershed issues? Join us for one of these community workshops: Camrose, Nov. 3, 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., Stoney Creek Centre; Killam, Nov. 15, 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., Prairie Breeze Inn. Plan to attend! All workshops are free, however, preregistration is appreciated. Phone (780)672-0276 to register and receive a f ree BRWA rain gauge! For more information, contact Sarah Skinner, BRWA Watershed Planning Coordinator, by phone at (780) 672-0276 or by email at sarah@ battleriverwatershed.ca. We look forward to hearing from you. If you or your organization are unable to attend any of these workshops, but would like to learn more about your watershed and contribute to the discussion, we would love to talk with you!

AUC suspends review process on critical transmission projects By Murray Green

The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) suspended its review process and hearings for two critical transmission projects on October 21. The Alberta government, and newly elected Premier Alison Redford, said they need more time to consider its overall approach to critical transmission infrastructure. Energy Minister Ted Morton told AUC to suspend the Heartland Transmission Project application, which consists of a substation, a 50 0-kilovolt transmission line and a 240-kilovolt transmission line to connect the facilities to the interconnected system, with route options in the Edmonton area, but Premier Redford said the Heartland project will continue with hearings. The public hearing for the Heartland application concluded July 18, and a decision is still anticipated for this month. The Commission will put a f reeze on two other proposed lines. The Western Alberta Transmission Line (WATL) application of a 500-kilovolt, direct-current transmission line and associated substations and converter stations, with route options between the Genesee area and the Calgary area. The Eastern Alberta Transmission Line (EATL) application of a 50 0-kilovolt, direct-current transmission line and associated converter stations and 240-kilovolt transmission lines, with route options between the Gibbons area and the Brooks area has also been cancelled. This includes the proposed lines that would have run just east of Daysland. That process schedule is also suspended until further notice and the January 16, 2012, public hearing date is no longer applicable. In each case, the applicant, interveners and registered parties have been notified. Further information on each of these applications and the related

proceedings is available on the AUC’s website, at www.auc.ab.ca. Alberta Minister of Energy Ted Morton was sent a letter to suspend the review process and suspend hearings for three critical transmission projects before the AUC. However, Morton and Redford reported a miscommunication on the Heartland line. Camrose and Daysland area residents were opposed to the idea of paying more than four times the amount on their energy bills to build a line that wasn't connected to anything. Voters were growing more frustrated with the government's refusal to cancel its land bills (Bills 19, 24, 36 and 50), which c ould send power costs through the roof and deny us democracy as we know it. The new Premier agrees with local landowners. “Landowners currently own the land from the surface to the centre of the Earth, including the pore space. The exception would be water and mineral rights that have been sold,” said Mr. Keith Wilson, lawyer and landowner representative who serves as the Alberta Policy Chair at CAEPLA (Canadian Association of Energy and Pipeline Landowner Associations). Mr. Wilson was a g uest speaker at a Landowners Against Bills Society of Alberta meeting at the Daysland Community Hall in July. "We are already at a disadvantage because our rates are among the highest in Canada," he explained. "If it goes up even higher, businesses will easily move to B.C. or Saskatchewan where the prices will be a lot lower." He pointed out that B.C. is spending $4 billion on repairs to transmission lines. "Alberta is spending over $16.6 billion. What is going on in Alberta? Something tells me something is terribly wrong," said Mr. Wilson. "Alberta has less population. They could give everyone a million and they wouldn't even notice a dent in it." Continued on page 7

Work gets underway on Camrose Greenspace Master Plan By Dan Jensen

Work has been initiated on a greenspace master plan that will develop and express the policies of the City of Camrose when it comes to the allocation, development and management of park/ open spaces. Dillon Consulting Ltd.'s Alex Taylor and Jagdev Shahi have been collecting copies of documents and policies as background for a p ublic engagement process and the development of a final polished product that will be presented to City council in the spring of 2012. "We're currently in phase one and have four subsequent phases," said Taylor in a presentation to City council Oct. 17. "We will hopefully be coming to you next May with a full plan after a number of other phases and steps." Along with creating a cl ear vision for what the city's greenspaces will be like 15 years down the road, the greenspace master plan will help the city maintain green space ratio, protect the urban wildlife corridor, reach

sustainability and liveability targets, and serve the extremes of the age spectrum. Preliminary priorities are to build on the parks system in place, integrate the trail system into the larger transportation network and arterial network, to position Camrose as a regional habitat link (Stoney Creek as a main component), and assist with the management of stormwater. "There is a lot of opportunity for strategic placements of parks and open spaces," said Taylor. While the municipal development plan is the overarching policy for development in the city, Taylor said it doesn't have the capability to be extremely specific on some aspects of parks and open spaces. "Currently there are not any policies around playgrounds, branding of parks, signage, quantity of parks, location – things that the greenspace master plan delves into and expresses for the City to developers, administration and residents." Shahi stated consultation

will be key to the development of the City's greenspace plan. "We really want to hear from the residents and the various stakeholders and have them take ownership of this plan. We want to look at having visible, open and transparent communication, and we want to be able to use a diversity of techniques to be able to get information from a variety of demographics within the city." The consultants will work to minimize consultation fatigue by linking to community events and sessions and to use joint sessions wherever possible. Consultations will be linked with questionnaires which will be made available as hard copy to attendees. "Looking at the second round of public engagement we will look at the success of the first session, not only the questionnaire but also the stakeholder meetings," said Shahi. "That will allow us to make some mid course corrections to make sure that we can really get the feedback we need." Having done works on parks

and open spaces throughout Alberta and North America, Dillon Consulting Ltd. has found that many municipalities are experiencing pressure on their existing parks, and that in a lot of places, park development has not kept up. "The population has been aging and that is a N orth American trend," said Taylor. "That means changing recreational preferences in some places. People have less free time for recreation, so instead of scheduling it they like doing it when they have a moment here and there. Taylor added many municipalities are exploring pesticide use in regards to parks and open spaces, and keeping in mind the effects of climate change. Under the provincial government's Municipal Government Act, municipalities must set aside ten per cent of its land for greenspace. "We have not worked with municipalities that have tried to take more than 10 per cent

for greenspace," said Taylor. "It is difficult and ten per cent is found (by municipalities) to be adequate." Councillor Max Lindstrand informed the consultants that one of the key issues in Camrose is having the proper setbacks from the valley. He said that some of the city's residents already feel there is too much encroachment on the valley. Councillor Galenza expressed concern as to whether Camrose could be faced with a situation like the City of Calgary, where people are being challenged to look at converting golf courses to housing developments. "We need to do something to stop something like that from happening in Camrose," he said. Galenza added that the City of Camrose has been guilty at times of taking greenspaces to build infrastructure and not replacing it. "My concern is that we don't have a p olicy to protect greenspace."

County Prairie Fun Days returns next year By Murray Green

Although the Prairie Fun Days held within the Camrose County this summer were a success, organizers are thinking of scaling the event back t o a o neday event next August. The event was held August 20 and 21 this year. The committee has several ideas about how to improve on the first year. "We would like to talk to Augustana about having canoe or diving demonstrations. We want to keep it nature-focused, so maybe the art club could come out and

show how they paint landscapes," suggested committee member Barb McDonald. "Bird watching and perhaps the fish and game association could hold a f ishing derby, and a food vender to come out for the day would be some other good ideas." Barb would like to see additional signage to direct people to the activities. "Some people think we can do this in one day instead of asking visitors to come out two days in a row. All-in-all, it was attended well at most sites. Some

sites were better attended than others." Committee member Bruce Clevely said they had some day trippers from Edmonton in the Hay Lakes area. "We need to advertise more outside of our area and encourage people to come out for the day. We also thought that having the event at the same time as the county's anniversary would be a good idea." Barb said the advertising could be done together to save them some funds. Councillor Doug Lyseng explained that the agricultural

service board is t hinking of giving an award to a re sident who has a beautiful yard. "One of the requirements would be to open the yard up for visitors and allow for tours. That is o ne thing we could consider as well." Farm tours are something the committee would examine. "I'll never forget my children's faces when they found out where beef comes from or where eggs come from," Bruce chuckled. "We could show how products are made, how they ship it around the world. We could promote 'shop locally'. People

enjoy learning new things about the community." Barb indicated they would like to increase the number of sites to attend by about four next year. "In every location, Saturday was better attended than Sunday, so we could hold it in one day." She said it was fun to hold the events. "We want to do this again next year." A funding request of $2,500 for the second Prairie Fun Days was deferred to the budget process by county councillors.

He also informed those attending the meeting that AltaLink advertising on the radio or in newspapers is not only paid for by all ratepayers, but they receive nine per cent profit on it. "If the building of the transmission lines goes through, the whole area of Nisku will be dark within three years. Every major power consumer will be leaving the province. Remember, every time a company leaves the grid, you and I pick up the slack by paying more," stated Mr. Wilson. "Industry has told us and the government that there will be job losses. Industry uses 35 per cent of the energy consumed." Alberta’s NDP Opposition leader Brian Mason is calling on the government to scrap Bill 50 before any review of power line projects proceeds. “Albertans are already grappling with rising electricity prices, with spikes in the double digit percentages monthly. Power line mega projects will make electricity bills skyrocket. Bill 50 has left the public with little proof these lines are needed, or what purpose they’re truly meant to serve.” Mason says. “Real change begins with scrapping Bill 50.”

Ian pauses for a photo at the seminar.

Ian McArthur, 13, of Bawlf, recently attended The War Amps 2011 Western Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Edmonton. This year is a s pecial one, marking the 30th anniversary of CHAMP seminars, which are held regionally across Canada. Ian, who is a l eft leg amputee, attended the three-day seminar, which dealt with all aspects of growing up as an amputee. Older Champs were junior counsellors at the seminar, answering questions and offering advice to the younger Champs. In one seminar session, Champs demonstrated their standard and recreational artificial limbs and devices to the group. The seminar covered subjects of interest for all age

groups, including the latest developments in artificial limbs, parenting an amputee child, dealing with teasing and bullying, learning to drive and the importance for amputees to be active. Seminars are life-changing events, particularly for first-time attendees. “Meeting others with exactly the same concerns, and seeing how they have overcome them, has a p rofound effect on how they regard their amputation,” says CHAMP director Lucie Waddell. CHAMP and all its programs are funded solely through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1-800- 250-3030 or visit waramps.ca.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Question everything! Think! Last week I attended several public functions which provoked thoughts for this week’s column. Through them all I could see a common thread in the community spirit fabric of this community. The first event was hearing Dr. Allen Berger, recently appointed Dean of the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus, when he addressed the Probus Club of Camrose. Dr. Berger, in his amiable and winsome style, captivated his listeners as he described ambitious plans for Augustana students’ opportunities in international studies, research, and community service learning. I will not report on all that except to say that he made his listeners very much aware that Augustana is an exceptionally valuable asset and is making a difference for good here and beyond. How is Augustana, or any other liberal arts and sciences university, making a difference? Dr. Berger said the goal is to help students learn to question and to think. That is what will facilitate change in ways which have the potential to make conditions better; help us to sort out what works, what does not work; guide us to save what is good, to change what is not. Dr. Berger said that he instructs his students to throw away their highlighter markers. He doesn’t want them to simply accept what others say; he wants them to question everything and ask if we really do know the truth. If we feel with certainty that we do, we, of course, stop searching for it, eliminating the prospect of ever achieving any improvement. I also attended the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Awards Night. That was refreshing as it reminded me again that business and professional entrepreneurs are continually questioning old ways and always striving to better serve their clients and better support a variety of community service projects. It was also my privilege to be one of over four hundred people who attended the Battle River Community Foundation dinner to recognize community builders Norman and Betty Mayer. The generosity of this couple has truly made a difference for good in this community. By choice, they live modestly and give generously. Sometimes they get their picture in the paper for making a charitable donation. Often their gifts are made anonymously with no fanfare. At week’s end I watched CBC’s Peter Manbridge’s One on One interview with Dr. Samantha Nutt who is a longtime, dedicated aid worker in Somalia. She is passionate about trying to ease the pain and suffering of people who lack food and shelter. The problem, she says, is c omplex and goes far beyond inadequate food and shelter. It involves lack of educational opportunities, health care, peaceful co-existence with one’s neighbours, environmental protection – those kinds of things, too. Generously throwing money at poverty is admirable, kind and helpful but it is not the cure. This takes me back to Dr. Berger’s address. “Throw away your highlighters,” he said. “Question everything! Think!” Truly we need to find new ways in which to solve some of our world’s continuing problems. We know that monetary contributions do indeed alleviate much of the hardship endured both at home and abroad. We also need to think of new ways in which to provide equal opportunities for people to help themselves. Let’s question and think!

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Dear Editor: “Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone” – G.B Stern October 31st to November 5th marks the College of Family Physicians of Canada’s eighth Annual Family Doctor Week in Canada. The College proudly acknowledges the outstanding contributions of Canadian family doctors for their dedication to their patients and the delivery of high quality health care. A s Executive Director of the Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN), I am also pleased to highlight this important week! As many of you know a fundamental part of the Camrose PCN’s vision is to support family doctors in delivering coordinated, quality rural primary care with the support of other health providers. Over the past three years the PCN has worked with family doctors in a variety of settings including the Smith Clinic, Gemini Health Centre, Bashaw Medical Clinic and St. M ary’s Hospital and I am very proud of the local PCN programming that has been developed – dedicated to patients and patient care. Often physician recognition efforts focus on the physician’s clinical performance. This year – in the spirit of Family Doctor

Week – I w ould like to broaden the criteria and recognize the efforts of the PCN Board of Directors which includes Dr. Nichol (PCN Physician Lead), Dr. TorokBoth, Dr. Bredesen, Dr. Peters and Dr. Groenewald. Each of the PCN Board of Directors shows a c ommitment to working in a collaborative environment, leading the way in providing guidance and expertise – making the Camrose PCN what it is today! Each illustrates physician engagement by supporting and involving themselves in committees, clinical pathway development and championing service or quality. On behalf of the PCN, I want to take this opportunity to recognize the PCN Board of Directors for their involvement, partnership and leadership to date. Stacey L. Strilchuk Camrose PCN Dear Editor: I have been thinking about this for some time. There is a l ot of excitement in the air of the upcoming election here in Alberta. There is a lot at stake here. A lot has changed since 2008. There is n ow the Alberta Party who has joined the fun. This means that there are six parties now in the race. Before I go o n any further, please allow me to review the results of the last election. PC Party, 72 seats, 52.6 per cent; Liberals, nine seats, 26.37 per cent; NDP, two seats 8.22 per cent; WAP, zero seats, 6.77 per cent; Green Party, zero seats, 4.58 per cent; and other zero seats 1.11 per cent. Now, the WAP has four seats. That is sure a change from the last election. The WAP has grown in leaps and bounds. There is c hange in the air. The

new leader of the Liberals used to be an MLA for the PC party. Change is coming. It is not clear what change is happening. Before the last federal election, I said in a letter that would it be something if we have a Conservative majority and a N DP opposition. I w as shocked to see my prediction come true. Why did this happen? It happened because of vote spitting. If the WAP party can come through and show Albertans, that they can bring change, the PCs could be reduced in numbers. In my view the PCs could be reduced to as low as 44 seats. The WAP could pick up as many as 33 seats. It is possible for the Liberals to make a huge comeback to 15 seats while the NDP party could lose the two seats that they now do have. The PC party has elected a leader who is on the left in Conservative Party. This will only help the WAP in the best possible way. Since the PC is now closer to the left, the vote split might come at the cost of the Liberals, NDP and PC Party. The Alberta Party is also closer to the left which could mean more vote splitting which could give the WAP a winning edge. It is possible for a small Majority or a strong opposition for the WAP. Vote splitting is going to help one of the parties. It is not clear which party will be helped. There is change coming. Time will tell what change will be happening. We could have a weak PC majority, Liberal majority or a WAP majority. Albertans want change. We will have to see what change they will choose. Lorne Vanderwoude Camrose

Loaves and Fishes Dinner Nov. 12 By Dan Jensen

Sahakarini, the MDGs and Me is the theme of Sahakarini's 12th annual Loaves and Fishes dinner that will be held at the Norsemen Inn, Camrose, Nov. 12. "The MDGs are the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations, which Canada has committed to supporting," said Sahakarini board chair Alan Fielding. "We will learn about each of the eight goals, how they are going around the world, and will learn about how the work of our partners contributes to these goals. "Last but not least, we will find out how 'you and I' are part of this big picture, even in Camrose." Guest speaker for the Loaves and Fishes dinner will be Elly Nankunda, who, in addition to working as the Information and Communications Technology Facilitator for the United Nations' Ruhiira Millennium Villages Project in Uganda, serves as a support person for the 106 widows and one widower who have formed a Mutual Benefit Society in Iryango, Uganda, which Sahakarini funds. "The group has a h erd of

goats, and a p iece of land they have planted with food crops," said Fielding. "Provided with the most basic tools, the Mutual Benefit Society has developed into a cohesive, hard working group of people, taking this opportunity to improve life for their children or grandchildren, and even sharing what surplus they will find with neighbours in need." Mutual Benefit Society projects being supported by Sahakarini this year include continued cultivation of land, including renting a little more land; maintaining the goat herd with some breeding; increased access to health care and transportation for follow-up care, and additional planting to address a need for reforestation in the area. Sahakarini connected with the Iryango Mutual Benefit Society through John Pattison, from Kingman, who served as an intern for ACTS (a non-profit based in Comox, B.C.) in Uganda. The Loaves and Fishes dinner will carry on a tradition from previous years: namely the auction of a pair of sandals that were worn by Gordon Schieck, one of Sahakarini's six founders, while he was a m issionary in

India. The sandals are a symbol of Sahakarini's commitment to the poorest of the poor, and are meant to go where there is need and where there is love. In 2002 they were taken by Alan Fielding to two Sahakarini projects in Brazil: a d aycare under construction and a trade school that was beginning to offer programs. That fall they were bought by another family and sent with a Canada World Youth student to Sri Lanka, where they were worn in a peace march to promote reconciliation in that war torn and impoverished nation. In 2005 they were bought by a Camrosian who did not go abroad, but wore them to his wedding in 2006 as a sign of his and his wife's care and commitment to helping others. All money raised at the Loaves and Fishes dinner will go towards projects, as opposed to administration costs. The Loaves and Fishes Dinner will begin at 5:45. Tickets may be purchased at Wisemen's Way, Candler's, the Sahakarini office on main street or board members. More information is available from Tif McNaughton at 780-672-8222.

Kodiaks help drive away hunger

Members of t he Camrose Kodiaks and employees of Farm Credit Canada load a truck with food for the Camrose Food Bank.

The Camrose Kodiaks recently partnered with Farm Credit Canada in the execution of the Drive Away Hunger campaign The campaign took place at the last two Kodiaks' home games on Thursday, October 6, and Saturday, October 8, and was very successful. Over 480 lbs. of food was contributed, and over $240 in cash donations were raised in the span of these two hockey games. All of this was turned over to the Camrose Food Bank, just in time for the Thanksgiving weekend, and in time for the upcoming Christmas season. Camrose Chrysler provided the use of a Dodge Ram truck to collect and transport the food to the food bank. The Kodiaks' involvement in the Drive Away Hunger Campaign is a part of the team's commitment to the "Kodiaks Body Check Hunger" initiative, which it is executing throughout the first several months of the hockey season. For more information on this initiative, and the many other community programs in which the Kodiaks are involved, please click on www.camrosekodiaks.com/community .

munity and have been a v ery strong, positive influence on Camrose and its surrounding areas," said Hutchinson. The award was accepted by

Rostad, who expressed appreciation to the staff at Tien Rostad for "making it fun to come to work every day," and to the clients. "Doug and I s tarted our practice in 1979 without a single client and we have been well supported in the community," said Rostad.

Business Excellence Award presented to Selmac Sales Ltd.

By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Chamber presented its 2011 Community Spirit Award to OPT Oct. 19. OPT's Bernice and Rod Masson, Warren and Jayne Gendrea, Roger Masson and Chelsea Wearmouth have been providing waste removal services for the last 12 years. "They've grown their business with 800 plus big bins within the city and county of Camrose," said award presenter Diane Hutchinson. OPT has been involved in numerous events and fundraisers, generously sponsoring events and donating items. Organizations and events that have benefitted from their support include the Camrose Open Door, CAFCL, STARS, Ducks Unlimited, Relay for Life, the MS Bike Tour, Bawlf Playschool, Bawlf 4-H Clubs, Camrose hockey teams, the Bawlf rookie ball team, Camrose Spring Rodeo and Camrose Show and Shine. "This business provides a very valuable service to the community," stated the nomination. "They give back every chance they get and just want people to have a better life. Other nominees for the Community Spirit Award were Battle River Hockey Plus owners Dave Borman and Kris Lindberg and the Camrose Spirals Jump Rope Club. Bowman and Lindberg enjoy employing young people, especially Kodiaks' players and Augustana students. "They treat all staff with respect and encourage them to pursue community involvement whenever they get an opportunity to do so," said the award nominator. "Their community involvement may be underrated because you may undoubtedly pass by something which was donated by their business without even realizing it." The Camrose Spirals is a n ot-for-profit parent-governed organization started by Gerald Prediger that has been in operation for over 20 years. Its jump rope programs are delivered by six coaches, 21 junior athlete instructors, 70 recreational athletes and 35 competitive athletes. The Camrose Spirals have been featured in a movie, appeared on MTV and in Edmonton Journal articles, attended national rope skipping championships and established several local and provincial summer camps. "It's an organization and club that is c ommitted to providing an extraordinary athletic climate for community children by encouraging physical activity as part of the daily routine for life," said Hutchinson. The Community Spirit Award is p resented by the Chamber of Commerce to a business or organization in recognition of significant contributions to the community (either monetarily, gifts in kind or volunteer hours), significant achievement within the past three years, participation in community events, and promotion of the area through events, organizations and general involvement

Chamber of Commerce past president Shauna Feth presents the Business Excellence Award to Selmac Sales Ltd.'s marketing manager Brenda Hawryluk and sales manager Norris Sheppard. By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Chamber of Commerce presented a B usiness Excellence Award to Selmac Sales Ltd. at its 27th annual Small Business Awards Banquet Oct. 19. Selmac is a full line large agricultural dealership that originated in Stony Plain. Selmac's community involvement was illustrated in the case of a sev en-year-old Spruce Grove boy by the name of Dagon, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2008. The business decided to help with the family's financial cause and had Dagon draw a picture on a red bandana. "They had 2,000 bandanas made up," said the award nominator, "selling them to raise funds for the family. Response was overwhelming and the happy result was some financial relief for the family." Selmac also supports City

Slickers, a program that educates over 1,200 children in urban schools on the origin of their food, Big Valley Jamboree, Jaywalkers' Jamboree, the Daysland Golf Tournament, Festival of Trees, 4-H events, and numerous community events in Lougheed and Stony Plain. Selmac has a s trong belief in environmental leadership, and has a v ery specific marketing plan to ensure superior customer service excellence. Other nominees for the Business Excellence Award were Camrose Booster, Camrose Chrysler and On Track Kuntz & Company. The Camrose Booster is a family-owned business that employs 17 full-time and 13 parttime employees. Owner Blain Fowler serves as chair of the operation committee of Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame, and chair of the Battle River Community Foundation.

The Booster has generously donated to over 70 community organizations in the past year, including Reading University, the Battle River Community Foundation and the Bailey Theatre. "They are very proud to be part of the Camrose and area community and take their role very seriously," said the award nominator. "They understand that they have an opportunity to write the history of Camrose each week." Camrose Chrysler hosted a very successful May, 2011 promotion in which $100 was donated to the Camrose Sea Serpents swim club for every vehicle sold. The business has also supported the Camrose Kodiaks, Spring Classic Rodeo, minor hockey and baseball, Augustana Vikings, 4-H and Ducks Unlimited. Continued on page 16

Many people are apprehensive about getting older because of the fear of losing their faculties. Individuals may worry that dementia could rob them of precious memories and make daily living more difficult. Things that can be done include adopting a h ealthy, balanced diet and keeping the brain active as much as possible. Here are ways to do just that. * Seniors can participate in low-impact exercises that promote muscle strength and flexibility. Water exercises are very good because they don't place strain on the joints. Stretching routines, like yoga or tai chi, are also effective. Exercise plans should be discussed with a health care provider prior to starting. * Work with a nutritionist to develop a healthy eating plan. A

Seniors' Chat Submitted by the Camrose Seniors' Coalition, Camrose and District Support Services, Service Options for Seniors, Association for Life-Wide Living of Alberta

In August, our Seniors' Chat article emphasized the importance of understanding changes in health care and how they affect families, neighbours and ourselves. Increasingly, we need to be very well informed. We have all experienced the effects of health care reform in Alberta since 1994. In 2003 the situation became more problematic for seniors in care when the Government of Alberta increased the charges for accommodation and meals for residents in nursing homes and hospitals. As inequities in the way health care was managed became apparent, a g roup of vigilant Albertans undertook exploring what was happening. The result of their efforts involves a cla ss action suit claim of $128,000,000 involving claims in which The Supreme Court of Canada has found a n umber of causes of action in Alberta against the Crown and under the Charter. The issues include unjust enrichment, breach of duty of care, breach of contract and discrimination against seniors in care. Recently there have been important developments in the legal actions relating to this situation. Lawyer, Mr. Allan Garber informs in writing that a recent Supreme Court ruling indicates that patients in Long Term Care in Alberta have been paying for health care that should, under the Canada Health Act, be free. Two important events will examine these issues and explain what is at stake. Both events are open to the interested and concerned public. Friday, November 4, at 2 p.m., Court of Queen’s Bench, Edmonton. A court application which constitutes an amazing turn of events will be held at Court of Queen’s Bench, Edmonton (97 St.-102A Ave; 1A Sir Winston Churchill Square. For the exact room, check notice boards or call 780/422-2310). Although legal action has been in process for six years, Alberta Health Services (AHS) did not appeal the decision of the Alberta Court of Appeal, which held that AHS owed a duty of care to monitor, supervise and administer the Accommodation Charges levied to seniors in care. Now, and well outside the limitation date for appealing that decision, AHS in effect wants to appeal the decision. Continued on page 17

He is a frequent guest of major summer festivals and has appeared as a soloist with many of Canada’s principal orchestras. He’s a sought after chamber musician. His concerts are frequently heard on CBC and his recordings have been broadcast internationally. A pianist with a b road repertoire ranging from the classical period to the twentieth century and encompassing a wide spectrum from lieder to the Romantic concerto, Lemelin’s performances of Schubert, Schumann, Fauré and Ravel have garnered enthusiastic praise. He is a m ember of Trio Hochelaga, with violinist Anne Robert and cellist Paul Marleyn, with whom he tours internationally. He is also the artistic director of the Prince Edward County Music Festival, in Picton, Ontario.

Originally from Mont-Joli, Quebec, Stéphane Lemelin was born in 1960. He studied with Yvonne Hubert, Karl-Ulrich Schnabel, and Leon Fleisher, before studying with Boris Berman and Claude Frank at Yale University, where he received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree. On the faculty of the University of Alberta from 1990 to 2001, he is now Professor of Music at the University of Ottawa, where he is the Director of the School of Music. A

Seniors' Chat Continued from page 14

This application and the implications of the process involved needs to be understood by Albertans, especially seniors and their families who have been affected. A positive outcome should eventually involve a pa y-back to seniors who were wronged and overcharged. Given the significant amount of evidence in the case, it is in the interests of seniors for this event to be well supported by the attendance of concerned Albertans. Hopefully a good representation will attend from Camrose and surrounding areas. Tuesday, November 29, 7 to 9 p.m., Royal Canadian Legion, Camrose. James Darwish, an Edmonton-based accountant who has been involved in observing the inequities and following them through in law, will present these complicated issues in a public information session at the Canadian Legion, Camrose, on Tuesday evening, November 29, from 7 to 9 p.m. As sponsoring organizations, we acknowledge the Legion and their hospitality in hosting this important event. It is open to everyone; there is no charge. Coffee and tea will be served. Prior to these meetings it would be helpful to review the Alberta Health Action Plan 2010 - 2015. You can pick it up at the MLA’s office or find it at www.health.alberta.ca/initiatives/5-year-health-action-plan.html.

Retired Walmart manager takes on new position By Dan Jensen

It didn't take long for Tom Chelmick to find something else to do. Three days after retiring as manager of Walmart in Camrose, Chelmick was back on the job, this time as a volunteer advocate for the Camrose NeighborAid Center. "This is a ch ance for me to give back to the community," said Chelmick. The role involves visiting local businesses to see what support they can provide for NeighborAid.

"I am hoping I c an get a little bit of money from a large number of businesses," said Chelmick. "If there are a l ot who give it isn't such a h ardship on just a few businesses." Chelmick's goal is to raise $10,000 over the next six weeks. "Given the generosity of the Camrose community in the past I t hink that is a n achievable goal," he said. The Camrose NeighborAid Center is the umbrella organization or sponsor of the Camrose and District

Food Bank, the Martha's Table soup kitchen, and breakfast clubs at Charlie Killam, Sparling, Chester Ronning, Camrose Composite High, and Our Lady of Mount Pleasant schools. It also oversees snack programs at St. Patrick and Jack Stuart Schools. "Our Breakfast Clubs provide breakfasts to 350 children in local schools daily," said Neighbor-Aid's Pat Hagen. The soup kitchen provides hot meals to the less fortunate at the Catho-

lic Church Tuesdays and Thursdays, at the United Church on Wednesdays, and at the Pleasantview Church on Saturdays. The Camrose and District Food Bank serves about 200 families per month. The Food Bank serves primarily those who are working at low paying jobs and/or receiving AISH payments from the government. Camrose NeighborAid also offers financial assistance to qualifying families who find themselves in crisis situations.

NG I ENON P O SO Chelmick was a ma nager of Walmart for seven and a half years, all but one of which was at the Camrose store. Prior to joining Walmart he was employed by Zellers for 35 years, both as store manager and district manager. Chelmick is a m ember of the board of directors of the Camrose Regional Exhibition and the Camrose Chamber of Commerce. Businesses interested in speaking with him may call 780-679-9173.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER October 25, 2011

BRCF pays tribute to Norm and Betty Mayer Norm and Betty Mayer were recognized at the Battle River Community Foundation's eighth annual Community Builders' Dinner Oct. 21 for the work they have done in making Camrose a better place in which to live. "It is apparent from the sellout crowd gathered here this evening that Betty and Norm are well-respected in this community for their contributions and achievements," said Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler. "We are indeed fortunate that they chose to locate in Camrose and raise their family here. For almost fifty years the Mayers have helped to make Camrose a m uch better place in which to live." The Mayers have been generous supporters of a wide range of community causes. “We never tried to pick and choose,” says Norm. “We believe in communities and we believe that there are lots of small groups whose work makes communities stronger. We’ve always tried to support as many organizations as we can, in as many ways as we can.” In addition to their individual support, the Mayers have established funds through the Battle River Community Foundation, and also give directly to the Foundation’s Reading University project. Betty likes the concept that, through the Foundation, the couple’s support to the community can carry on even if they’re not here, and will continue to benefit a variety of projects. “We can’t sit here today and predict the needs of the future,” she explains. “The Foundation has the flexibility to change over time, to meet needs that might arise. “We’re no different than anyone else – each generation wants

BRCF still a high priority The Battle River Community Foundation still remains a h igh priority in the hearts and minds of the citizens of Camrose and all those who reside in the Battle River Watershed. "Since our inception in 1995, through your generosity, we have accumulated total endowments of over $6.3 million," said BRCF board chair Blain Fowler. During the same period, BRCF has provided over $1.4 million for worthwhile community projects. "It is safe to say that the Battle River Community Foundation has delivered more dollars to projects in our coverage area than have all the service clubs in the same territory combined," explained Fowler. "We have created a tremendous resource and now enjoy a great advantage over the unfortunate regions that do not have a community foundation to serve them. We can be proud of what we have achieved."

Norm and Betty Mayer have helped make Camrose a better place in which to live.

to make things better for those who come after them.” Norm and Betty were both born in the 1930s and raised in Manitoba. Despite their common roots of origin, the two did not actually meet until after they had each moved to Edmonton. Now married for 53 y ears, the duo’s eyes still twinkle as they recall that first meeting, at a roadside bus stop where Norm offered Betty a r ide after they exited a transit bus. “It’s not as bad as it sounds,” Betty reassures. “He knew the girl I w as with and, in those days of fewer busses and long waits at bus stops for connec-

tions, it wasn’t uncommon on a cold day for someone to offer a ride. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to accept a ride now, but I’m glad I did it then.” The Mayers came to Camrose as newlyweds in 1958 when Norm accepted a j ob at a l ocal insurance agency. A y ear later they moved on to Calgary, where sons Bruce and James were both born before the family of four returned to Camrose in 1963. Six months later Central Agencies was established. The new insurance business began in the dining room of the Mayers’ home, with the agency phone on the kitchen counter.

Norm was the sole agent and Betty managed the “office”– creating files and keeping things organized while also supervising the two toddlers. Eventually Central Agencies found a h ome of its own on 49 Street and, after a c ouple of moves, settled into a brand new three-storey brick building in 1976. The business, which has expanded to include real estate, now employs thirty people. Despite being very busy in the business, the Mayers, Norm particularly, have also managed to be active in the community. He was a m ember of the Lions

Club, the Chamber of Commerce and helped with the Cubs/Scouts. Betty, says Norm, made it her priority to ensure things ran smoothly behind the scenes, so he could continue that community role. She worked in the business and oversaw their household, which for 16 years included Norm’s father Matyes, in addition to the couple’s two sons. But she was usually at Norm’s side for public events and fully encouraged his public role. Norm served three terms as a city councillor, from the mid'70s to '80s, then after a one-year hiatus became Mayor of Camrose in 1989 – a position he held for 15 years. During that time, among many other contributions, Norm played an instrumental role in the formation of the Battle River Community Foundation. “I could really see the value of having a v ehicle for ensuring there was continuity in funding for some of our community’s important organizations,” he says. Both in their 70s now, Norm and Betty have slowed down some, but not that much. They both go to the office (though son James is more at the helm these days) and Betty also coordinates volunteer Meals on Wheels drivers for the United Church. They still attend a wide range of events regularly and are still strong financial contributors to many causes. “It’s like that old saying,” Norm explains. “We can’t cure all the problems of the world, but we can help someone. So we do.” Fowler said Mayers' record of community service has been delivered without any fanfare or seeking recognition of any kind. "They have served unselfishly because they thought it was the right thing to do."

Speakers express appreciation to Mayers This is w hat the speakers had to say about Norm and Betty Mayer at the Battle River Community Foundation's Builders' Dinner Oct. 21.

gifts of fairness, humour, empathy and respect for and acceptance of all people. A leader must share a deep commitment to family, friends, associates and community. Norm and Betty are role models to follow." – Ken Rostad.

"You know it's not easy being their neighbours: that twinge of guilt I get when I see Norm leave at 7 in the morning to go to work; that twinge of guilt when I see him come home, knowing that I have been home for a couple of hours already." – Wayne Throndson, neighbour of the Mayers. "You Norm and you Betty are truly compassionate, with a true love for the City of Camrose. You are true community builders in every sense of the word and we are very lucky to have you here." – Wayne Throndson. "Norm, you are the Godfather." – Wayne Throndson. "Betty is truly the lady of the office. She is c aring and always had a k ind word to say. I h ave learned a l ot from her over the years on dressing professionally – and a l ittle about shopping as well." – K im Erickson, long time co-worker. "They would do almost anything for anyone. They love this community and it shows." – Kim Erickson.

"Norm is a c ourse changer. He understands the needs of others and has sought to meet those needs. He knew what he wanted to do in each circumstance, how it was to be done and who was going to do it, and he brings out the best in everyone." – K en Rostad. James Mayer

"I do not know of another couple that has a greater love for their community as Norm and Betty." – Kim Erickson. "Perhaps the leadership commitment quality is encapsulated in a c omment by Albert Einstein. 'Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted.' Norm and Betty, the location of the comment is n ot a p ersonal reflection on you, it is the meaning of the comment that reflects on your actions and beliefs as a leader. – Ken Rostad, friend and neighbour. "A leader must possess the

"We were going to name a street after him, but that just wasn't Norm's way. So we just presented him with the (Norm's Way) sign." – T ed Gillespie, former City of Camrose engineer. "Norm would not tolerate poor customer service or red tape. 'That is t he policy' was not an acceptable answer. The answer had to make sense." – T ed Gillespie. "Norm did not once submit an expense claim. I suspect that he wanted to spend all his mayor's salary on the job so he could say he did it totally for community. I believe he did." – Ted Gillespie.

"Mom and dad have always believed that it is important to give back. They have always told my brother and I that it is important to give where you live. It is akin to paying rent for the privilege of living and working in such a g reat community." – James Mayer, son. "There are no weekends in father's life. Every day is a weekday and should be treated that way." – James Mayer. "I am sure that many people in the audience here tonight have been out maneuvered by father so that he can buy your cup of coffee, breakfast, or other meal. But do not dare reciprocate. Norm is a giver, not a re ceiver." – James Mayer. "Norm does not relish the idea of holidays. When we were growing up his idea of going south for the winter was going to Ferintosh, Meeting Creek and Edberg on a Sunday afternoon to look at some farms. The Mayer family is t he inspiration for the Griswald vacation movies." – James Mayer. "Mom's a giver when it comes to her family, children and grandchildren. There is n othing she would not do." – James Mayer.

Lakeland students receive EMS training

Terry Wilton (second from left) accepts the Canadian Mental Health Association Alberta Division Professional Care Award for Creativity and Effectiveness from (left to right) Lt. Governor Don Ethell, CMHA local board chair Father Peter LeBlanc, and CMHA Alberta Division chair David Corpus. By Dan Jensen

The STARS mobile training unit motor home stopped in Camrose on October 18 to provide hands-on instruction at the Lakeland EMS Centre by the old fire hall. Students Matt Jagersma, Jamie McCord and Lindsay Montgomery received instruction from Howard Koch and the STARS Human Patient Simulator. The simulator allows students to practice real life situations and improve critical thinking. STARS has two mobile units that teach emergency skills to Alberta students.

Camrose psychologist Terry Wilton paid tribute to the courageous work of Valerie Wolski and other health providers when he accepted the Canadian Mental Health Association's Professional Care Award for Creativity and Effectiveness Oct. 1. Wilton spent time counselling CMHA staff earlier this year after Wolski's life was taken by a Mental Health client. "The emotional impact of her death was so i ncredible on her workmates," he said. "It took a lot of strength for them to continue to go to work afterwards and face such tragedy." Wilton spoke at the CMHA awards banquet about the outrage everyone who was associated with Wolski felt following her death. "I talked about what had happened and how we can find

hope again when something like this occurs," he said. CMHA presents just one Professional Care Award for Creativity and Effectiveness each year. "It is kind of the capstone of my career, not that I am thinking of retiring," said Wilton. "It is very satisfying to me to be nominated by my peers in this way." Wilton has operated a p rivate practice, serving clients from Camrose and area for the last 29 years. Prior to that he worked as a psychologist with Alberta Mental Health Services for seven years. "I came to realize I was better working outside the institutions," he said. Wilton does a g reat deal of work with veterans and members of the Canadian Forces, assisting them in dealing with occupational stress injuries arising from their years of service.

"I help a l ot of people who have experienced psychological trauma," he said. Wilton is also trained to international standards as a marriage and family therapist. Wilton describes himself as a creative person who likes to come up with new solutions to old problems. He is known within his profession for a reg ular column he writes for other psychologists in the province on the provision of professional therapeutic services. Wilton and his wife Mary have raised two sons in Camrose – one a p olice officer with Camrose Police Service and the other a paramedic/firefighter in Red Deer. They have also volunteered extensively with local organizations. Wilton was nominated for the award by Colleen Vennard, executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association's east central division.

Appointments made to advisory council The Alberta Health Services (AHS) Board has approved the appointments of Bill Porteous of Round Hill, Blair Betts of Hardisty, and Martha Waldorf of Daysland, to the Yellowhead East Health Advisory Council. The appointments follow a recruitment process this summer that sought members of the public from across the province. “These volunteers will play an important role in connecting Alberta Health Services with patients and families throughout the province,” said Alberta Health Services board chair Ken Hughes. “Their efforts over the coming years will provide a gateway for community dialogue and allow us to be genuinely responsive to Albertans as we continue to understand their health needs and concerns through the work of the advisory councils.” Established in 2009, health advisory councils were designed to facilitate dialogue between communities and Alberta Health Services. Under the Alberta Health Services 5-Year Health Action Plan – j ointly developed

by AHS and Alberta Health and Wellness, and made possible by the first five-year health funding agreement in Canadian history – health advisory councils are taking on a stronger role and more direct contact with local health leaders and their communities. Health advisory councils have 10 to 15 volunteer members who: engage members of the community and communicate what is being said about health services in their area; provide feedback about what is working well within the health care system and suggest areas for improvement; and advise Alberta Health Services on matters pertaining to health service delivery and design. The appointments were made at the board’s regular meeting on October 14. Council members were appointed to three-year terms. In addition, Lawrence Tymko was appointed as chair of the Greater Edmonton Health Advisory Council.

WAITING FOR THEIR MOTHER TO RETURN

Twin fawns were left at the front doorstep of Bob Dorsette's home in September. The mother probably was searching for food while the fawns waited for her return. Bob's neighbour Ken Fischer took the picture.

THANKSGIVING Today we lost a very dear friend Tragic and sudden but loving to the end If you knew Lacy you would know and see How much love she gave, and all for free Her smiles were real for those she loved Her cuddles were warm and comforting too. 12 years she walked by our side Sat at our socials like she was one of the gang Showing obedience, grace, love and pride Quietly begging with puppy dog eyes Or resting her chin upon our thighs Our walks to the school were her favorite thing Just running around being free Chasing rabbits or gophers or whatever may be Goodby dear friend, you will always be loved and surely missed This Thanksgiving we give thanks to having you as our friend.

Chamber past president Shauna Feth presents the Ambassador of the Year Award to Kevin Gurr. By Dan Jensen

Boston Pizza owner Kevin Gurr was named 2011 Ambassador of the Year at Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Awards Banquet Oct. 19. "Kevin exemplifies the word ambassador," said award presenter Diane Hutchinson. "As one nominator put it, Camrose won the lottery in 1986 when Kevin and his family moved here." Gurr helped bring national attention to Camrose as chair of the committee that organized what has been described as "the most successful RBC Cup ever." Gurr was also involved with the World Jr. A T ournament in 2008 (as co-chair), the Alberta Summer Games in 2002 and the Alberta Winter Games in 1990. His business is s ponsor of the BP Classic basketball tournaments at CCHS. "He gives with his heart and he puts all his energy into the task at hand," said one award nominator. Gurr has served on boards or committees of Centra Cam Vocational Training Association, Camrose Sport Development Society, Camrose Golf Club, the Camrose Kinsmen Club. He was named Kinsman of the Year twice. His business was named Camrose Franchise of the Year in 2008. "Kevin has been a b usiness owner/operator in Camrose for over 20 years, and has given back to his community 20-fold," said Hutchinson. "He is h ighly regarded and respected amongst his peers, his friends and his community." Gurr expressed appreciation to those who nominated him for the award. "I look at the three previous winners of this award (Norm Mayer in 2010, Bob Prestage in 2009, and Ron Grue in 2008) and see three pretty special people. To be part of that group is a great honour. Gurr also expressed appreciation to those who have worked alongside him on committees and boards to make things happen and put Camrose on the map. The Camrose Ambassador of the Year award was established by the Camrose Chamber of Commerce to recognize those individuals who promote Camrose and Camrose County through awareness in associations, clubs, community groups and organizations, and who promote goodwill as advocates of Camrose. "Kevin is among one of the best ambassadors Camrose could ever ask for," said Hutchinson.

Augustana finishes fourth in cross country running event By Murray Green

Both the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus women's and men's cross-country running teams finished fourth in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) Grand Prix Crosscountry Running Race on Saturday, October 15, at the Stoney Creek Centre. A total of 187 runners entered the cross-country event in the valley. The women's squad was led by Kalli Green, who crossed the line in seventh place among college runners. There was a f ield of 91 participants in the five kilometre (km) event. Red Deer College athlete Jodi Sanguin came in at 18:56, the third fastest in the open event, to lead ACAC competitors. Kalli had a t ime of 21:17. "It was a t ough course and it wasn't one of my better races. This course is awesome to train on to prepare for the ACAC provincials," said Kalli. "I wanted to finish as high as I could, at least top 15. It all depends on who shows up for the races, to determine if I had a good race." Her seventh place finish leaves Kalli thinking she can battle for top spot. "There were a lot of good runners here today. I knew there would be, as we are all preparing for the ACAC championships. It's a tough course, which will help me prepare for the finals. The championship is on a f lat course, which will lead to faster times. It is good to have a race like this two weeks before finals to shake the legs out." The home course helps the Augustana runners. "You can mentally picture the course the night before and it helps with preparation," said Kalli. "We know every hill and you know exactly where you are on the course. It relaxes you a b it because you are familiar with it. This course is so hard, it gives us a huge advantage." The last hill can be deadly for those runners who are losing steam. "You have to save something for the huge hill at the end. Not a l ot, but just enough. My goal is to place in the top five in the finals. That might be a stretch because there are so many good runners," said Kalli. "Hopefully, our team is in the top three. Our women's team is n ot quite as strong as the men's, but we are pushing for a top three in both."

The Camrose race was the last regular race of the season. Now the runners are preparing for the big day. "Now we have to sleep, eat properly and avoid getting sick," said Kalli. "We are going to taper our training, so we can go into the race with some rest," said the third year student. "This year, and a go od summer of training, should put me in a position to improve for my final year at Augustana." The Ontario athlete came to the Vikings for a another reason. "I wanted to come to Augustana to join the cross-country ski team. I actually love both sports and being here allows me to be

in both sports and a multi-sport athlete." Kalli is glad to be on the running team. "Gerhard (Lotz) is awesome, he is such a dedicated coach and Robert is g reat too. They are always out there running with us." The Vikings' team of runners included Lauren Brookes, 23rd; Emily Cole, 26th; Jennifer Paterson, 30th; Maja Zimmerman, 31st; Nellie Dow, 33rd; Mari McLachlan, Emma Norris, Jill Acorn, Llona Gyapay and Carly Pura. Former Augustana runner Andrea Labrecque crossed the line in 15th spot and ran for the Edmonton University of Alberta club.

It was a t wo-man race on the men's side of the competition. Lethbridge runner Peter Kalya edged out Andy Pohl of Augustana. The winning time at the college level was 27:05 and Andy's timekeeper reported a 27:11 on his stop watch. It was that close. The third college runner was more than a m inute behind Andy's time. Kieran Baird was the next Augustana runner to cross the line in the college division with an 11th place. Andrew Brisbin was 13th; Tyler Bissett, 15th, Hans Asfeldt, 16th and Ryan Burlingame, 18th. Other Vikings were Kai Skinstad, Ryan Lind-

say, Brady Imeson, Dexter MacCalder, Warner Brown, Noel Ives, Joel Gervais, Henning Valen, Taylor Bulger, Colin Reid, Dan Gillespie, Dillon Wing and Nathan Bernes. Camrose open runners' Robert Renman, who doubles as an assistant coach on the Vikings, was eighth and local marathon runner Brendan Lunty made the top 10 in the event in the men's eight km race. Camrose policeman Kelly Bauer was 43rd, and another local runner, Nathan Eriksson was 48th. Pastor Brian Krushel and Alvin Eyolfson of Camrose also entered the open event of 96 runners.

didn't sit well with Portage," said Quinn, who has six points in four games. "It was even a shock to us. Everything went perfect for us. The next night it was 6-2 because they came to play and a night like the first one will probably not happen again. We had lots of fans, so that was good to see." After the Vikings let a lead evaporate against the NAIT Ooks, they had to settle for a 4-3 loss at home on Oct. 14. They sought revenge in the return match the next night, and came home with two points in a 5-3 victory in Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference play. At t he Edgeworth Centre, the Vikings built up a 3 -1 lead after 20 minutes, but they couldn't hold off a change of momentum from NAIT. "We just haven't learned how to win yet. When

they scored their second goal, you could feel it coming. NAIT played us really hard last year and we knew they were going to be tough again this year," said Quinn. "We have to learn that when we are up, and we get scored on, that it is not the end of the world. We were still winning 3-2, but it was stupid mistakes that cost us the last two goals. It wasn't like we were playing bad. We were still playing physical and skating. It was just two bad mistakes that cost us." Learning how to change the momentum is a c raft that championship teams acquire along the way. "We have to stick to our game plan first of all. We got away from that. We wanted to dump it in and put pressure on their defencemen. We let them play their game, instead of making them play our game," Quinn

explained. "If we play our game, the way we can, no one has a chance against us. We have to play our game." NAIT received a bench penalty, but the Vikings didn't change the momentum. "We didn't capitalize on their mistake. Had we gone up 4-2, it would have been solidified for us. It always hurts when you can't score on the power play at a crucial time in the game." Augustana made sure it received two points in the return match. "It was a g reasy road win," Quinn laughed. "We didn't play our best, just well enough to win. On the road, against a hard team like NAIT, we'll take it." The clubs in the conference are split between the good teams and the squads playing for next year. "We want to approach every

game like we are playing SAIT or Mount Royal. If you let bad habits creep in against lower teams, then it makes it just that much harder to pick it up against the good teams. If you play like that against Mount Royal, they'll make you pay." Quinn is in his last year on the Vikings, but he thinks the Vikings are set up nicely for the next two or three years. "SAIT lost a l ot of their top end guys, so we are as good as any team. Mount Royal is the team to beat. Even if one team falters a l ittle, there are two or three other teams right in the mix." 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.

Vikings hockey team splits a pair with NAIT Ooks By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings easily could have had a 4 -0 record, instead of being at 3-1. Augustana has built a team to compete with the best teams in the league. "We knew the talent we had in the room and we picked up some great players from Portage," said Quinn Amiel. "Our new recruits are unbelievable and we knew that we had a solid core from last year. It was good to see we carried that onto the ice this year. Last year, we went 7-0 in exhibition and started the season at 0-2-1. It was nice to see us get a few wins under our belt." In the opening game of the season, Augustana won 15-0 over Portage. "It wasn't just three players from Portage, it was their best three. That probably

Punch Drunk Cabaret to film video at Bailey By Murray Green

Camrose area band Punch Drunk Cabaret will not only be performing music from its recent CD, but the Rockabilly band is asking for audience participation during filming of a music video to coincide with the release at a masquerade ball on October 29. Punch Drunk Cabaret consists of lead singer and guitarist Randy Bailer from Wetaskiwin, drummer Robin Eklund of Camrose and bassist Terry Grant. The band finished making the CD during the summer and will be adding a music video to promote the recent project. "We finally finished our CD a nd in this day and age, that is p retty important to a b and," said Randy. "We are really looking forward to that. As a b onus, and I remember as a child buying a re cord and receiving a sticker or a poster, we decided to have a deluxe version that comes with a g uitar pick, sticker and temporary tattoo. We are pretty excited about all of that because it is unique. People don't market albums like that anymore, so it is something different." Along with the release, the band wanted a live video. "The strength of the band is the live show. When the Bailey was finished, we thought there is no better venue to make our first music video than right here in Camrose at the Bailey," said Randy. "We didn't realize this at the time, but our cover and back graphic were taken in an old theatre and it is very similar to the Bailey. This was long before we decided to launch the CD at the Bailey. It was spooky in a way; it was a case of serendipity. It is the perfect setting. The video will be released at the end of November." A hillbilly band from Camrose called the Black Hyenas will open for Punch Drunk Cabaret. The demand for Punch Drunk Cabaret shows will be

sharply increased w ith Canadian exposure. "We were picked up by a pretty heavy duty booking agent named Rob Pattee.

He is out of Vancouver. He manages several performers including Jaydee Bixby, a f inalist in Canadian Idol. That has been

a real boost for us." Jaydee, who took high school classes in Ponoka, performed at the Big Valley Jamboree. Pattee also helped launch the careers of Nickelback, Hedley, Bif Naked Daniel Powter and another Big Valley Jamboree performer, Crystal Shawanda. "This takes us to the next level. We want to go from a local band to having a full Canadian presence. We went back to basics

with the recording and played as a band, instead of doing each track separately. We wanted the live chemistry to shine through and be natural." The 10 songs on the CD were chosen by fans. "We elected the songs that were the most popular with the fans. In a way, the song list was determined by the audiences we have played for in the past," said Randy. "The fans didn't realize it at the time, but they picked the music for our first CD." Randy encourages people to dress for the masquerade ball to make the video a s uccess. "If you want to be in the video, we ask people to dress in one of the three styles of music we play. We want rockabilly old '50s styles, outlaw country styles and swing styles with old suits and flapper dresses. We want to put out an all points bulletin message to encourage people to dress those styles. Then it will look like a period piece." The bands' songs combine outlaw country, rockabilly, punk, swing and rock into a sound to which people find themselves tapping their toes, or it makes them want to get up and dance. "We will have a dance floor in front of the stage and we want it filled for shooting the video," said Randy. For more information or to listen to the band, go t o web site punchdrunkcabaret.com and hear the new songs. The band recorded some of their live energy in Saskatoon with award winning engineer and Northern Pikes alumnus Ross Nykiforuk. The CD Ship Shape and Fightin' Form will include "Two Bottles of Beer" and "Indispensable Colleague" that have had rave reviews on their web site. Tickets for the show can be purchased at the Bailey Theatre box office.

Rotary on verge of eradicating one of most feared diseases By Murray Green

Rotary International Clubs around the world, including two in Camrose, are fighting to eliminate polio for good. This month, Rotary members observe both World Polio Day and the birthday of Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the world’s first safe and effective vaccine against this crippling and sometimes deadly disease. Members are also celebrating that the world is o n the verge of eradicating one of the most feared diseases of the 20th century. Rotary launched its push to end polio in the 1980s when the polio virus crippled nearly 1,000 people every day. Since then, Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative have reduced the incidence of polio by 99 per cent. This year, India has the lowest number of polio cases in history. "We have been working on this project for a number of years. It is such a huge project. It would mean so much to eliminate the disease and it would be a g reat success," said Camrose Daybreak president Don Forestier. "Nothing like this has been done before. We were running into a f inancial glitch

when Bill Gates stepped forward and donated $355 million." Despite this tremendous progress, children in some developing countries continue to be infected. That’s why Rotary and its partners are trying to reach every child with the oral vaccine, in some of the most challenging regions of the world. But the greatest challenge to the polio eradication effort is a funding shortage. In response, Rotary is working to raise $200 million (American) in response to a $355 million challenge grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. All

of the resulting $555 million will support crucial immunization activities in countries where polio still threatens children. Rotary club members worldwide already have raised $180 million of the $200 million challenge. Over the past 26 years, Rotary’s 1.2 million members in 200 countries and regions have contributed more than $1 billion and countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. Rotary also reaches out to governments worldwide to obtain vital financial and technical support. Since

1995, donor governments have contributed in excess of $8 billion to polio eradication, due in part to Rotary’s advocacy efforts. The commitment of Rotary volunteers worldwide demonstrates the extraordinary role civil society can play in improving global health. Right now, in honour of World Polio Day, Rotary clubs around the globe are doing their part to raise awareness and critically-needed funds to vanquish the disease forever. Once eradicated, polio will join smallpox as the only two human diseases ever eradicated, fulfilling Rotary’s promise to create a polio-free world. The end of the disease will spread hope throughout the world. Maybe cancer can be beaten, or education for every human is a ttainable. "Once we accomplish this, our next project that we have talked about on an international scale would be to educate every 15-year-old female," explained Don. "If you can educate a m other, or future mother, then you have educated a family. It just gives you so much hope knowing that when a lot of people can get together – w hat can be done." The Daybreak club doesn't

have a specific fund-raiser for polio, but a little from every project they are involved with is added to the yearly donation it gives. "We give a m inimum of $5,000 and add to it, and it ends up to be close to $10,000. That is just one club," said Don. "Camrose has really supported our club and in turn has supported our polio project." The Rotary Club of Camrose president LeRoy Johnson is proud of what Rotary members have been able to accomplish. "When I heard Bill Gates speak in Texas, he spoke highly of Canadians and the government because they were the first government to contribute funds to the cause of the horrible disease," said LeRoy. "Because of Rotary, we are very close to ending it. We want to see this project wrap up, but we want to make sure that it is eliminated." In Camrose, you can help eliminate polio around the world by supporting the Rotary Club of Camrose and the Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak through their many fund-raising efforts throughout the year.

Ardella Eileen Olstad Ardella Eileen Olstad passed away peacefully on October 16, 2011 at Memory Lane (Bethany) in Camrose at 90 years of age. The fourth child of Herman and Viola Buckle, she was born in Rosalind on November 23, 1920. Ardella lived in Rosalind for most of her life except for a few years in Vilna and Black Diamond. When living in Black Diamond, she a nd her f amily attended Church of God prayer meetings, and Ardella remembered being baptized with other family members there in the river. Ardella married John Joseph Olstad and they had a family of seven daughters. They lived on various farms in the Rosalind area and Ardella home-schooled Connie until grade five and Marlene until grade two. In those early days, she of ten sewed clothes for her girls by the light of a coal oil lamp. Later, they moved into town. Ardella was a good athlete and helped her girls practice for many track meets. When John and Shelley were hospitalized in Edmonton, she moved her family to the city and worked at the hospital which enabled her to visit daily. This must have been very difficult, but she a nd the family faced it with courage. Ardella also worked as custodian at Rosalind School for many years. Johnny suffered a stroke in 1980, and Ardella cared for him in their home for 11 years with the help of her daughters. Ardella enjoyed the beauty of nat ure. She e specially admired sunsets, clouds and the vast blue sky. She en joyed bird watching, holding baby chicks and riding their well-loved horse Darky. Her flower beds were a delight to her, and she gardened and canned fruits and vegetables. The family always appreciated her soup, lefse, potet klub, bread and dough dodgers. She began oil painting in the 1970s and gave beautiful paintings to all her dau ghters and grandchildren. She loved singing, reading and serving God by teaching Sunday School and working at AWANA Bible Club and Vacation Bible School. Many of t he youth from the community have good memories of going to her little pink house for Bible studies. She cared for her family tirelessly and loved them all deeply and unconditionally. She was always available to help her family with cleaning, gardening and babysitting. Her door was always open, and her grandchildren remember her great sense of humor and ability to always coax them to stay for a good lunch. Ardella was young at heart, and many of her grandchildren remember trips to Daysland to the show and critiquing the movie on the way home. Ardella’s last years were spent reciting poetry learned in her youth and singing countless hymns and songs that were embedded in her memory. Singing and holding the family’s new babies would always make her smile. A few weeks ago, when asked to name one important thing she would tell her family, she replied that she would tell them about God. She wanted her family to know how important it was to trust in Jesus for their salvation. Ardella was predeceased by her h usband John; daughter Marlene; son-in-law Fred; grandson-in-law Brad; and her g reat-grandson Kory. Left to cherish her memo ry are her daughters Connie Herder, Janice (Dalles) Schweer, Sharon (Eldon) Burkard, Marilyn (Vic) McCarroll, Linda (Ivan) Benson and Shelley (Dirk) McCarroll; son-in-law George Brausen; 23 grandchildren; 43 great-grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; three sisters-in-law Clara Johnson, Hazel Naslund and Peggy Buckle; and numerous other relatives and friends. Her love for the Lord and her family will never be forgotten. We treasure our memories of our precious Mother and Grandma. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16 A funeral service was held on Thursday, October 20, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Daysland Alliance Church with Rob Johnson officiating. Interment followed at Green View Cemetery, Rosalind. Memorial donations in memory of Ardella may be made to Green View Cemetery or to a charity of the donor’s choice. The family would like to express their sincere thanks for the comfort and support shown by your thoughts, prayers, cards and flowers. May God bless you.

Walter Joseph Magnien Born in Camrose, AB, on March 20, 1960, Walter passed away peacefully this past August in the wilderness he loved so much. He leaves to mourn his passing his mother Hanne, three sisters, four brothers, their spouses, four nieces, six nephews and a number of faithful friends. Walter was predeceased by his father Walter T. in 1996. Walter constantly explored and sought out unique and wonderful areas that most people would never have k nown to exist. From north of the Arctic Circle to Baja, California and many points in between, Walter always gravitated towards areas that were off the beaten path and unknown to most. It was in such an area that Walter passed away. Walter’s family wishes to express their gratitude to the members of the Leduc RCMP and the many Search and Rescue volunteers who gave so tirelessly of their time and support. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 29, 2011, at 2 :00 p.m. at Sacred Heart Church of t he First Peoples, 10821-96 Street, in Edmonton, AB. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Search and Rescue Association of Alberta either by cheque at t he service or online at Ca nadaHelps.org (type in SAR Alberta).

Ford Explorer Everything you never knew a SUV could be By Dan Jensen

The all-new Ford Explorer at Lamb Ford Sales in Camrose is everything you never knew your SUV could be. "The 2012 Explorer delivers the attributes you really want and value and a few you might not have even dreamed about," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Denham. "It simply does everything well." Performance and fuel economy The 2012 Ford Explorer offers the available new 2.0 litre I-4 EcoBoost, which combines two different technologies – turbocharging and twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) – to deliver the performance of a much larger engine. It churns out 237 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque across a w ide 1,750 to 4,000 rpm range. The estimated fuel rating is 1 3.83 litres per 100 km in the city and 9.40 litres per 100 km on the highway. The standard 3.5 litre Ti-VCT V6 engine can easily be described in two words: no compromise. It uses just 11.9 litres per 100 km in the city and 8.0 litres per 100 km on the highway while delivering an impressive 290 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque. Ti-VCT (twin independent variable camshaft timing) allows individually optimized camshaft timing of valve opening and closing events to improve mechanical efficiency while delivering increased power and reducing part-throttle emissions. Explorer V6 models are available with an intelligent 4WD system that adds terrain management. Situation selectable, this powertrain advancement takes the guesswork out of 4WD range choice. A driver need only turn the console-mounted knob to the proper setting among snow, sand, mud and normal modes. This system also includes a hill descent mode. "It's one more way the Explorer takes you everywhere you want to go," said Denham. Contemporary design The reinvented Explorer provides standard seating for seven, along with plenty of flexibility to transport all sorts of gear. Up front, a commanding position and excellent visibility inspire confidence. Available 10-way power heated and cooled front seats provide year-round comfort. An available dual-panel moonroof floods the space with natural light and fresh air. Best of all, the graceful design includes new soft-touch surfaces, sustainable materials and premium trim, all crafted to world-class standards for fit and finish. In addition to its clean, modern design inside and out, Explorer aims to please SUV shoppers with a thoughtful, flexible interior package that abounds with clever storage capacity. The new SUV features more head and shoulder room, three rows of flexible seating, and room for everything families want to take along on their adventures. Tight margin gaps are just one indication of the immense attention to detail applied to craftsmanship

across the spectrum, from design to engineering to manufacturing. The Ford design team enhanced noise, vibration and harshness control using an advanced technology called NoiseVision. A ball with hundreds of tiny cameras and microphones, NoiseVision allows engineers to pinpoint and address potential noise issues earlier in the development process. New controls From the hands-free calling and music to 911 Assist, the available voice-activated Ford SYNC in-vehicle connectivity system significantly enhances your drive. Revolutionary new MyFord Touch adds to your SYNC experience with even more vehicle features. Entertainment, phone, navigation and climate can all be controlled with simple spoken commands, or through the colour-coded menus on its vibrant LCD screens, including the touch screen in the centre of the action. T his available system also displays your personal photos, enables you to create a Wi-Fi hotspot for passengers to access on the road, and works with many popular electronic devices, including video game consoles. World changing safety Ford has always been a l eader when it comes to safety. The 2011 Ford Explorer continues that heritage with new inflatable rear safety belts. Optional for the second-row outboard seating positions on XLT and Limited, the belts are compatible with child-safety seats.

They are designed to deploy in less than a blink of an eye in the event of a frontal or side collision, distributing pressure across more of the occupant's torso than a t raditional belt, which helps reduce the risk of Brett Read injury. Curve Control – t he latest enhancement to Ford's AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, is standard on every Explorer. Curve Control actually senses when you are entering a tu rn too fast and can apply fourwheel-braking and reduce engine torque to help slow the vehicle by as much as 16 km/h in about a second. The available BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert uses sophisticated radarbased technology to sense traffic you may not see. If BLIS detects an obstacle in your blind-spot zones when you're driving, it warns you with a light in the appropriate sideview mirror. Similarly, cross-traffic alert warns you if it detects traffic behind you (up to about five parking spaces away) while you're slowly backing up. Available active parking assist uses ultrasonic sensors to help you locate the perfect spot, then take your hands off the wheel and your smart new Explorer steers it into place. You simply follow the system prompts to shift gears and control the brake and accelerator pedals. The vehicle can be parked in as little as 24 seconds.

How is your antifreeze?

Winter is tough season for just about any vehicle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even tougher for older cars and trucks that need more maintenance. Consequently, these vehicles require more special attention before the cold season and on many levels. One of them is not only engine coolant levels but also its efficiency at protecting the engine when the mercury drops well below freezing. As is t he case for so m any liquids and car components, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coolants are much better than they used to be. However, they still need to be checked at least once a y ear by a s pecialist (who will also take a look at the whole cooling system including hoses and fittings.) Most antifreeze manufacturers recommend a m ixture of 50% water and 50% antifreeze in the radiator. Although it might not be that easy to measure each one exactly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to have the liquid analyzed by your mechanic after a few years. Adding water once in a while to the radiator can dilute the antifreeze to a point where it is not as efficient as expected in intense cold. On the other hand, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had to add a lot of water to your coolant system, there might be a leak somewhere. Have your mechanic check your engine and its cooling system before adding more liquid. It could only require some minor repairs.

Atom Buffaloes wrap up regular season, head for playoff run By Murray Green

The Camrose atom Buffaloes' football squad has had a good season, despite losing the last regular game of year, 36-6 on October 16. Camrose faced a s trong Sherwood Park club and it took the Buffaloes until the second half to get on track. The atom squad played its first

playoff game on Sunday, Oct. 23, against the Stony Plain Bombers. Coach Fitz Sherman said his team started slowly against the Sherwood Park Broncos. "They returned the opening kick-off for a touch down. By the end of the first half it was 28-0. In the first half we could not

tackle and our offense did not get a f irst down or cross midfield. The first half was played in our end of the field and the defence was on the field a long time," said Fitz. "After half time, and a l ittle speech, the team came out stronger. The defence came to life and only allowed one touchdown the rest

of the game. Our defence came up with two interceptions in the second half." For the third time this year, linebacker Teryll Sherman returned an interception 60 yards for a t ouchdown. It was the Buffaloes' only touchdown. Corner back Kieran Sherman had the other inter-

ception on a w ell timed jump. Teryll was making tackles all over the field from sideline to sideline and Kieran had several tackles and an interception to lead the club. "The defence was definitely the star of the second half. The Broncos are the second best team in the division."

Camrose Kodiaks wear pink jerseys in support of breast cancer Submitted by Darcy Steen, Camrose Kodiaks

The Camrose Kodiaks will be wearing a special pink jersey when they take to the ice at the next Kodiaks home game, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 30. The pink jersey will be worn in support of breast cancer awareness along with other well-inten-

tioned charities, and is proudly supported by Central Agencies. “The Kodiaks' organization is very proud to be able to wear pink jerseys in support of breast cancer,” said Kodiaks' coach and general manager, Boris Rybalka. “Many of our players know someone who is affected by the illness, or perhaps have a family member

who is battling breast cancer or some other form of cancer. The players will definitely be playing for more than just the two points in the standings in this upcoming game.” The pink jerseys will be sold throughout the hockey game in the form of a silent auction. Proceeds from the sale of the jer-

seys will be contributed towards deserving charities in need. Furthermore, the Kodiaks' organization is asking the community of Camrose to help ‘Paint The Rink – P ink!’ Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game to add to the ambiance of breast cancer awareness, and to wear the same color that the

Kodiaks will be wearing when they take to the ice. Tickets are currently available for this special game. Phone the Kodiaks' office at 780-6792603, or visit the Kodiaks' office in the Edgeworth Centre. T ickets may also be acquired through Central Agencies, which is located at 4870-51 Street in Camrose.

Bouncing rebound out of reach Kieran O'Neil of t he Camrose Kodiaks can only watch the puck bounce in a game against the Calgary Mustangs. Although the Kodiaks didn't receive any help from the opposition in that game, they have stayed close with the Brooks Bandits at the top of the south division in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

10/18/11 2:24 PM

Luc Vandale scored a goa l and set up another to lead the Camrose Kodiaks to a 4 -2 victory over the Calgary Canucks on Oct. 15. Landon Kadatz, Ross McMullan, Ty Clay and Vandale received credit for the goals after set ups from other teammates. Camrose continues to spread the offence around as four different players scored. The Kodiaks netted three tallies in the opening period and put the game out of reach in the third with an insurance goal. Goalie Brayden Hopfe stopped 27 of 29 shots for the Kodiaks, while his teammates fired 33 at the Calgary net. One of the pleasant surprises for the Kodiaks this year has been the play of rookie Ryan Hoult. "It is a go od atmosphere here. It feels good knowing you are playing at a h igher level and the coaching is g reat," said Ryan. "We really have high tempo practices and it is go od hockey." Ryan played for the midget Kodiaks in Camrose last season and made the jump to the junior level this fall. "It doesn't add any pressure to me. It is nice to have home town fans and family cheering for you. Other than that, it is the same as anyone else on the team. You have to work hard and fight for more ice time with better play," added Ryan. "I'm here to be a physical guy and a p ower forward. I'm not the most skilled guy on the team, but I'm a g ritty player that will do anything the coaches say." Ryan will also chip in on offence when called upon. "We have been playing well lately. We are a young team with plenty of speed and everything is coming together." They have been playing well, except in one game. Camrose lost 4-1 to the Calgary Mustangs on October 13 in the team's worst outing of the season. Kadatz was the only Camrose player to find the back of the net. Hopfe stopped 25 of 29 shots, but 10 power play opportunities took their toll on the goalie as the Mustangs wore down the Camrose penalty killers. "It was a h uge learning curve for us. This game showed us that you have to work hard every night on every shift. We are not invincible and we can't be cocky," said Ryan. "Any team can win on a g iven night and we have to be ready for that. We have to start strong and not let the momentum change. We have to listen to the coaches and play within our systems. It was good to learn that lesson now, rather in March when it could have really cost us. It was good that is was early and we learned from it now." The Kodiaks host the Canmore Eagles at the Edgeworth Centre at 2 p.m. on Oct. 30. The always powerful Spruce Grove Saints are here on Nov. 3 for a 7:30 p.m. start.

Economic Development

Cash infusion won't solve all of BRSD's problems By Diane Hutchinson, Communications, Battle River School Division

The board of trustees of Battle River School Division was happy to hear that new Premier Alison Redford and new Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk would be distributing $107 million to school divisions across the province. But they are also aware that this infusion doesn’t solve all of BRSD’s financial woes. “It’s always good news to get more funding,” said Board Chair Cheryl Smith. “But we must also keep our expectations realistic.” In the short term, she says, the additional funds provided by the government will mean BRSD can address some “pres-

sure points” at local schools and put money back into school budgets. But the cash infusion is only for the current year, so t he schools will have to be careful not to make changes they won’t be able to sustain when the funding ends. In the longer term, funding for education is based on the number of students a school division serves. “Here in Battle River,” says Smith, “we continue to have more children finishing high school than are starting Grade one. Our enrollment declines mean our funding will continue to be less in the years ahead. That’s our single biggest issue.” But Minister Lukaszuk told

school division representatives in a province-wide conference call on October 14 that both he and Premier Redford are very committed to education and will make it a priority of this new government. “That bodes well for us,” Smith believes. “There are many positive things happening in education in Alberta and we hope they will continue.” In addition, Minister Lukaszuk said he wants to make sure school divisions have funding predictability, something which BRSD is pleased to hear. “We don’t know what funding levels will be for future years. However, the Minister has made reference to the need for a more

predictable funding strategy and I’m very pleased to hear that,” Smith says. “Predictable, sustainable funding is something that school boards have been seeking for some time.” Student counts lower, but on target

In the spring of this year, Battle River School Division projected a student enrollment drop of more than three per cent for the school year that started Sept. 1. On the first day of classes, it appeared the drop might be even more than anticipated, but by September 30 the student count had settled at 6,395 – a lmost exactly on target to the projection. Last year’s student number was 6584.

Tell Them From Me

There are nine junior and / or senior high schools in BRSD participating in a three-year pilot project with Alberta Education, intended to gather input and insights from students. BRSD is one of just 15 Alberta jurisdictions involved in the project, which surveys Grades 7 to 12 students twice a y ear for their thoughts on various aspects of their school experience. Information gathered from the anonymous surveys can be compared to other provincial and federal data, as well as be used for making improvements at the local level. The project is j ust entering its second year.

Wall of Honour celebration postponed to February By Murray Green

The Camrose County Wall of Honour and Century Farm Award event has been moved to next February. Applications are now due Feb. 10, 2012. "We didn't receive as many applications as we would have liked," said councillor Doug Lyseng. "It is a b etter time of year for people to look at applications after the harvest is c ompleted. This should give everyone more time." Applications are available at the Camrose County Seed Cleaning Plant office at 4728-41 Street. For more information, contact the agricultural services office at 780672-4765. Equipment sold

At the Oct. 11 meeting, County council awarded the sale of a used 1995 310D John Deere back hoe to Allen Kruger for $17,970 plus GST. Councillors brought up the issue of allowing employees to bid on equipment that goes to tender. Although the process was followed to the councillors' satisfaction, they referred the concern to administration for the review of the current policy. The tender process usually attracts a fair value, rather than being at the mercy of a public auction. It also saves transportation costs. Fire ban

The County issued a fire ban at 9 a.m. o n Sept. 29 because of dry conditions. This ban prohibits the use of all wood, briquette and propane/natural gas fires, including those contained in designated fire receptacles and portable fire pits. Gas and propane stoves, when approved for cooking, are allowed. All outstanding fire permits were declared void. Councillors discussed the blanket fire ban and debated the length of the ban. "Should this be a total ban, or allow fires in pits for cooking? I t hink a t otal ban is more than what we need. We have had moisture," said councillor Trevor Miller. Some councillors in the southern part of the county reported that they did not have moisture. "It has been incredibly dry this summer and we should be careful," said councillor Vern Peterson. "I like to see it stay on." Trevor asked if this means the ban will be on until it snows. "We shouldn't just throw a f ire ban on and leave it there," said Trevor. It was agreed to let administration monitor the ban based on moisture situations. However, the ban (or lifting it) would be countywide. Satellite launch

Xplornet is set to launch North America's first 4G broadband satellite, which will allow for previously unavailable speed and bandwidth service to rural residents within the area. It should be able to support download speeds of up to 25 Mbps and will have a capacity greater than all other North America broadband satellites combined. This will benefit county residents who do not fall within the range of wireless networks that currently exist. The next County meeting will be held at the Round Hill School on Oct. 25 beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Tim Hortons Franchise of the Year Administrative Assistant Camrose Academy of Dance

Chamber of Commerce past president Shauna Feth presents the 2011 Franchise Business of the Year award to (left to right) Ken Mah, LeeAnn Mah and Dave Mah. By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Chamber of Commerce named Tim Hortons 2011 Franchise of the Year at its Small Business Awards Banquet Oct. 19. Tim Hortons Camrose has been owned and operated by Ken Mah and his wife, LeeAnn, since 1999. "It was a t ough slug for the first few years," said Ken. "My wife and I w ere there seven days a week. "I would be there at seven in the morning, leave at four or five then come back at eight and work until midnight. "People would see my car at the business when they came to work in the morning and it would still be there when they went home. "It wasn't until I s tarted bringing the foreign workers in about four years ago that I w as able to get decent breaks." Tim Hortons currently

employs 44 part-time and 42 fulltime staff. In 1996 Mah and his younger brother, Dave, opened the east end Tim Hortons. "We knew that there were more lots coming on stream in the east end, so we asked if the corporation would investigate buying one of them," he said. "I would say it has worked out very well." Mah gives a l ot of credit to Camose City councillor Daryl Shillington and former economic development officer Dennis Twomey for helping him get started with the business. "I was working for TransAlta before I purchased Tim Hortons and I didn't have a lot of time to spend in meetings with the Tim Hortons corporation," he said. "Those two guys helped facilitate those important meetings on my behalf." Mah said he is grateful for the support he has received from Camrose and area.

LeeAnn expressed appreciation at the Chamber of Commerce awards ceremony for the Tim Hortons staff. "We have some who have been with us right from the beginning," she said. Tim Hortons Camrose has been a generous supporter of the Tim Hortons Camp, the local Boys and Girls Club, the Camrose Car Show, Timbit Hockey, the Camrose Kodiaks, STARS and the Camrose Fire Department. The Camrose Chamber of Commerce Franchise Business of the Year Award is presented annually in recognition of significant business achievements, current memberships in various organizations, and the company's involvement in the general community. Past award recipients are Canadian Tire (2010), Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre (2009) and Boston Pizza (2008).

Funding requests presented to council By Dan Jensen

Tourism Camrose, the Camrose Railway Station Museum and Park, and Camrose Founders Days presented their 2012 funding requests to Camrose City council Oct. 11. Tourism Camrose is requesting $50,000 to finance the parttime position of tourism coordinator. "The $40,000 funding the City granted us in 2011 enabled us to finance the part-time position of Tourism Camrose coordinator and also covered some minor costs of operation," said Tourism Camrose committee chair Dawn Anderson in a l etter to Mayor Chalmers and City council. "Over this first year of repositioning Tourism Camrose, the committee has come to realize that the position of coordinator would be better served by paying for more work hours in the week – t he current average is 27 hours and we feel the job entails a minimum of 32 hours." Anderson noted that while Tourism Camrose receives money from local accommodation providers through the Destination Marketing Fund, the funding is used solely for the purpose of advertising events and venues, promotional materials, and participating in exhibitions and trade shows. Tourism Camrose collaborates with stakeholders and tourism operators including Travel Alberta, Alberta Tourism Parks

and Recreation, Camrose County, the Camrose Chamber of Commerce, Bailey Theatre, Camrose Golf Course, Camrose and District Centennial Museum, Camrose Railway Station Museum and Park, Camrose Arts Society, Augustana Campus University of Alberta, Boomtown Trail, Kalyna Country, Edmonton Tourism and various local events and initiatives. "This collaborative working relationship assists in further developing Camrose as a regional hub – a drive-to tourism destination rather than a drive-through, which in turn encourages economic development and provides added benefit to our community," said Anderson. Camrose Railway Station Museum and Park is requesting a City contribution of $26,980, up from the $19,200 it received in 2011. Camrose Railway Station Museum and Park managing director Janine Carroll told council in a letter that the additional amount will allow the Railway Station Museum and Park to dedicate ten hours per week towards general operations – hiring someone who will assist in areas of need. "We ask that Council, when considering this request, be aware that the Railway Station Museum budget has not had a budget increase in five years, not even cost of living," said Carroll. The Camrose Railway Sta-

tion Museum and Park has hosted numerous celebrations, events and fund-raisers that have engaged the community and attracted visitors to the city. Staff assumed leadership roles in Camrose Founders Days planning, resulting in new grant and marketing opportunities, while the restructured school programs have increased the number of students the station can accommodate. "The Camrose Railway Station is a good investment," said Carroll. "Our site is evolving, our public programs are growing, our contribution to community tourism is i ncreasing and our value as a historical resource is significant. We will again, in 2012, deliver many excellent annual events and festivals, marketing our Station and the City of Camrose well." Camrose Founders Days is requesting a City grant of $10,000, the same as it received in 2011. Camrose Founders Days committee chair Janine Carroll said the committee had success in 2011 in finding grants, allowing innovative events and increased marketing strategies. "We had the ability to contribute to long term projects – the Chamber of Commerce Mirror Lake signage project, a se t of rocks and rings for the curling club, and founders' plaques to be added to the fountain at Founders Square Park."

Camrose Academy of Dance is a non-profit society that offers dance classes to students ranging from preschool age to adult. The Administrative Assistant will be assisting and providing administrative support to a small and friendly team, alongside Directors. Duties/Responsibilities: • Handling phone enquiries and general reception duties • Reviewing studio email and dealing with membership inquiries • Opening and distributing mail • Ordering and storing of office supplies • Booking of dance studio time, meetings, etc. • Maintaining office equipment, supplies, files, databases, spreadsheets • Computer data entry • Processing invoices/receipts, bank reconciliations, annual society returns, A/P, A/R, etc. • Assisting teaching staff and the Board with distribution of materials and other administrative requirements as requested Skills/Qualifications: • Excellent organizational skills, interpersonal, communication and customer relation skills • Computer data entry • Excellent knowledge and experience with Microsoft Office programs (i.e. Word, Excel, Access) • Knowledge and experience with Simply Accounting (or similar accounting program) • Strong work ethic and the ability to prioritize Office hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, starting mid-August through to mid-June, from 3:00 p.m. until approximately 10:00 p.m. (coincides with dance class schedule).

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!

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

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
