Movember is changing the face of the often ignored issues of men’s health. Numerous gents of this community are up for the challenge of grooming, trimming and waxing their ways into the annals of fine moustachery. The widespread sprouting of many moustaches is all in the name of raising awareness and vital funds for men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health issues.

They each grew ’staches last year and collectively raised money for the national initiative. This year, the trio was kind enough to start growing again one month ago for the purpose of this Booster cover photograph. They will shave on November 1 and start growing their moustaches again. The Widemans are registered on the official Movember website under the moniker of WideMo’s.

City still looking for answers on proposed Cargill plant By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council gave first reading Oct. 22 to a bylaw that would establish an area structure plan for the canola crushing plant Cargill is proposing to build south and east of the city. The plan would establish the necessary general land use, transportation and servicing framework. "The area structure plan focuses on describing how the plant will be constructed and operated within the current setting," states a report prepared for Cargill by AMEC Environment and Infrastructure. "Detailed information is provided regarding utilities, road and rail traffic changes, and stormwater control." A public hearing on the bylaw is scheduled to be held Dec. 10. Acting director of planning and development services Shelley Munro told council City administration is still looking for more area structure plan details with regard to roadways and transportation. "If we don't get the information we won't be able to proceed." Munro noted the City does not currently have an area structure plan for the lands in question. "It is imperative to consider and adopt a strategy so that the City can be assured that the impacted lands are not sterilized for future planning and development." General manager of engineering services Kriss Sarson told council the City has yet to receive from Cargill a highway impact assessment. "We are expecting additional and substantially more detailed information than what we are seeing now," he said. Councillor John Howard said he is particularly concerned about the impact the proposed development will have on the roads and rail lines. He added it is important that council rely on input from administration on the completeness of the information being presented by Cargill. "I can live with giving first reading (of an area structure plan bylaw) but I am not comfortable giving assent to a document that is not the final one." Councillor Gerry Galenza expressed concern as to whether the height of the proposed development would raise concerns for the Camrose airport. He agreed with a comment by Mayor Marshall Chalmers that it would be reasonable to have discussions with the Camrose Airport Authority. Galenza also expressed concern about the washing of prepressed solids in commercial n-hexane washers, and whether the solvents that are used in the washing process would become concentrated in the city wastewater system. Sarson responded, saying the City is not expecting to see high levels of hexing in the waste water flows. According to AMEC, average daily wastewater production for the processing plant during normal operations is expected to be 600 cubic metres. Pretreatment of the process wastewater would be completed at the plant to meet the City sewer bylaw and the servicing agreement. Council was informed that the proposed development would require making an amendment to the agreement the City has with the County regarding connections to the Ohaton water line. Continued on page 5

Rotarians receive pep talk from District Governor By Dan Jensen

Rotary International District Governor Kevin Hilgers likes to think of Rotary as a business. "We should act like a business, operate like a business," said Hilgers in a presentation to Camrose Rotarians at the Bailey Theatre Oct. 22. Hilgers noted that while the Rotary Clubs in Camrose have accomplished great things with the Four Seasons Park, the Rotaract Playground for tots of young mothers, and Wheelchairs to Mexico, membership has dropped over the last five years from 95 to 72. "Your community is growing but you are not. That is not a good business model. We have to grow to survive. If you stay the same you are less relevant, less effective in your community." Hilgers said the gift of Rotary is something that needs to be shared. "I think every one of us has to try a little harder to make a conscious decision to ask. Ask other community members to consider Rotary." Hilgers said one of the biggest challenges to membership growth is time.

Rotary 5370 district governor Kevin Hilgers.

"I know you are busy. We all are. But the beauty of Rotary is flexibility and the variety. Flexibility in the idea that busy people are busier at different times of the year – or even their lives. We should understand that. Young mothers or fathers with three

children at home have a different schedule than empty nesters. We should respect that. Variety in what we do is a key to a healthy club. Once newcomers discover their passion they can get hooked on it – and suddenly – they are making time for Rotary."

Hilgers said clubs have to reevaluate what they are asking of their members. "When we gain new projects we have to remember to look at old projects and maybe it's time to let them go. We can't do it all. We have to evolve as a club. Yes we have members that have their pet projects, but we can't keep adding onto what we do without letting go of something. Let's respect our club's time and our members' time. If you do that you'll have members that, yes, will want to give you their time." Hilgers said Rotary clubs need to re-evaluate what they are doing to remain vibrant. "Did you know you can now do make-ups online? District 5370 has a new E-club underway. A club that has commitments and projects yet meets online. Rotary is changing with the times but we have to as well." Hilgers said he spends a lot of time telling clubs what they don't have to do. "You don't have to do an invocation or grace if you feel it isn't reflective of your membership or includes all walks of life.

You don't have to have a meal. You don't have to have a sergeant-at-arms if you don't feel it is adding to your club meetings. The Yellowknife True North club meets Thursday evenings but they decided to have a speaker only the first week of the month. Week two is classification. Week three is Rotary topics. Week four is no meeting – instead a handson project at that time. How's that for novel? It's working." Hilgers said district training events, international conventions and district conferences are ways to get members fired up about projects, programs, having more fun and developing new friendships. "Invest in these events. When we fund-raise we are still using fund-raising dollars wisely when we invest in our membership. An investment that develops Rotarians develops leaders for your communities. Leaders that will want to do even more for Camrose and the world." Rotary International District 5370 has 2,350 members in 61 clubs in northern Alberta, northeast British Columbia, northwest Saskatchewan and part of Northwest Territories.

City council has questions Continued from page 4 Cargill projects that a relatively small portion (likely less than five per cent of the canola seed will arrive to the proposed plant by rail. It notes, as well, that full trains, both empty and loaded, would move from the rail yard to either the CN or CP main lines, and that on average, there would be approximately six to eight train movements per week on each CN and CP spur line for the servicing of the plant. Cargill estimates 135 to 165 super B trucks per day would haul the canola seed from the receiving terminals to the plant. Other traffic would include courier service and approximately 35 staff or visitor vehicles a day, and up to five covered van or truck deliveries weekly. In preliminary discussions with Camrose County, key County roads were identified as already being included in existing upgrade plans to accommodate maximum or full load capacity. Driedmeat Lake Road is presently paved with a 75 per cent road ban and is one of the roads identified in existing County plans to receive such upgrading paving.

Camrose honours Special Olympics with walk By Murray Green

A nationwide celebration honoured fans and turned red shoe laces into a symbol of support. Special Olympics Canada held its first annual Be a Fan Day and Camrose picked up the torch by holding a walk from the Camrose Police Services to Walmart on Oct. 25. Camrose Special Olympics fans were asked to lace up in bright red shoe laces as a symbol of their support, and to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics. Each year through sport, proceeds from the sale of these laces will go to enrich and inspire the lives of more than

35,000 Canadians with intellectual disabilities. In Camrose, the police force, firefighters, the Camrose Kodiaks, Centra Cam, Camrose Association For Community Living and volunteers made the trek. Various communities across Alberta have jumped on board the campaign and are running events to promote the nationwide event. Be a Fan Day was created to honour those who make Special Olympics possible, including athletes, volunteers and in particular those in the Canadian law enforcement community. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, a cherished fundraiser that raises significant sup-

port and awareness for Special Olympics in communities across Canada. To commemorate this long standing partnership, Special Olympics is teaming up with local police services across the country to host Be a Fan Day celebrations. “Canada’s law enforcement community has raised $40 million over 25 years for Special Olympics Canada and our programs are running in communities nationwide,” said Lindsay Glassco, president and CEO, Special Olympics Canada. “Special Olympics created Be a Fan Day to celebrate this important partnership as well as the extraordinary athletes, coaches, and volunteers who make Special Olympics such

a transformative experience for all.” Camrose residents can still make a donation of $5 or more at the Camrose Police Services to receive a pair of Special Olympics red laces to wear. “I am pleased to join our inspiring Special Olympics athletes in celebrating the first annual Be a Fan Day,” said Bal Gosal, minister of state (sport). “As a proud supporter of Special Olympics Canada, our government is pleased to help spread awareness of athletes with intellectual dis-

abilities and to recognize the outpouring of community support for these amazing role models. I encourage all Canadians to show their support for this wonderful campaign.” Special Olympics was established in 1969; the Canadian chapter of this international movement is dedicated through sport to enriching the lives of Canadians with an intellectual disability. In Camrose, programs are offered in swimming, bowling and softball.

George Hagel of Camrose Special Olympics accepts a plaque from Camrose Police Services Const. Matt Wilton to honour the occasion.

Letters to the Editor

DRIVING AWAY HUNGER Ecole Sifton School students Emma Jarrett, left, and Molly Boyd handed their food donation to Farm Credit Canada relationship manager Lowell Befus during the Drive Away Hunger campaign on Oct. 16. Local schools collected food and funds for the Camrose Food Bank.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Renewed awakening to social injustice Bad things often happen and we feel devastated, angry, helpless and hopeless but, over a lifetime, I have observed that very often bad things have been the catalyst that caused good things to follow. I regularly read the column of Craig and Marc Kielburger in the Edmonton Journal (Craig was the 2012 recipient of the University of Alberta Augustana Campus honourary doctorate). The Kielburger brothers are the co-founders of Free the Children. In the Oct. 15/12 issue of the Journal, they told the story of how the murder of Iqbal Masih, a 12-year-old boy from Pakistan, had “first inspired their awakening to social justice issues.” Iqbal had been sold into slavery at age four and chained to a loom in a carpet factory. Amazingly, he escaped and spoke against child labour and said all children should go to school. For this he was killed by a shotgun assassin. That incident occurred 17 years ago. The youthful Kielburger brothers reacted beyond rage and helplessness to establish Free the Children, an international charity of which the aim was, and still is, to transform the lives of children. Free the Children has programs in 4,000 schools across North America and a network of a million students. Free the Children has built 500 schools in 16 countries which include Kenya, Sierra Leone and Haiti. Free the Children runs awareness and empowerment programs that are all part of what they call “the world’s largest network of children helping children through education.” Free the Children develops classroom resources, is involved in clean water projects and helps to diminish hunger. Two weeks ago, a horrible attempted murder occurred, again in Pakistan. A fourteen-year-old girl, Malala Yousafzai, was shot in the head, allegedly by the Taliban, when on a bus with her classmates. Why? Because she has been a strong voice advocating the right of girls to receive an education. She is presently expected to recover in a hospital in England. According to the Kielburgers, there is the promise that much good will come out of this outrageous incident, just as Iqbal’s murder precipitated the establishment of Free the Children almost two decades ago. Since the attempted murder of Malala, the Kielburger brothers have spoken at a school near Boston after which they had a sit-down session with some of the students. The brothers wrote that they were “floored” by the fact that “the most pressing issue for the students that day was the attempted murder of Malala.” While young teens are often not expected to follow global news, these students did and were outraged that such injustice still occurs and wanted to help stop it. Craig and Marc Kielburger see evidence that the attempted murder of the heroic Pakistani teenager, Malala, might be the “tipping point where citizens around the world, both old and young, will say ‘Enough,’ and act.” Each of us is a citizen of the world and each of us can help provide educational opportunities to children wherever they are: boys and girls, in our own country or elsewhere. We can be directly involved or indirectly involved by supporting the agencies and organizations that are involved. It’s the right thing to do and it will make a difference. Kudos to all teens and young adults, elsewhere and in our own community, who are paying attention to injustices wherever they occur, and who have the passion to do what they can to provide equal opportunity for all!

Once again Remembrance Day will soon be upon us. A time for Canadians of all ages to remember the more than 100,000 fellow citizens who fought, bled and died protecting our freedoms along with the countless others who have served our country. But Remembrance Day should not only be reserved to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It should also be a practical remembrance of the living – the disabled Veterans, RCMP members, widows, widowers, orphans and family members of those who served who are in need of a helping hand. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion are, as one of their core responsibilities, the Guardians of Remembrance. The Poppy Campaign organized by the Legion, in conjunction with Remembrance Day, helps alleviate suffering and addresses the needs of Veterans and their families who may not have the financial wherewithal for basic necessities. The Legion assists with purchasing medical equipment, awarding bursaries for needy students, providing support services such as meals-on-wheels and drop-in centres and helping with some basic residential repairs to name but a few. So much of the Legion’s work in our communities goes unnoticed. Every day this organization of more than 330,000 people makes significant contributions, not only to enhance the lives of Veterans, but also for seniors, cadets, scouts, guides, as well as serving members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP and their families. The Legion remains fiercely proud to be Canada’s largest Veterans' services organization. Our advocacy work on behalf of all who have served in the Canadian Forces and RCMP ensures that they receive life-long support and recognition for their service to this country. Thanks to their desire to give back, the Legion was created and continues to this day to support our communities in countless ways. The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign provides everyone with the opportunity for practical remembrance and it is hoped that this year, with the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya as with our aging Second World War and Korean Veterans, more Canadians will wear the Poppy than ever before.

There’s more to the Legion than you might think. We Care! Find out today how you can get involved by visiting your local Legion branch … because you care; because you can. Lest We Forget. Gordon Moore, Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion Camrose a city with small town values

On September 23, 2012, we were stranded on Highway 26/ junction 834 headed to Camrose, my husband and I wondered how long we would wait for assistance for our 1962 Chevy and 1979 Boler. AMA was called and Ray from Armour Towing Service in Camrose arrived promptly to aid us. The Boler could not be towed due to the hitch height. A second tow truck driven by Lee, the owner of Armour Towing, was dispatched and he towed the trailer. Normally, a tow to a local garage occurs, but Lee and Ray felt they could diagnose the problem at their shop. They and a good Samaritan named Tim determined the alternator was shot. At this point we were further surprised when Lee offered to drive my husband to Canadian Tire to search for the part. Unfortunately no parts were available. Tim even went home to see if he had an extra alternator in his garage. Lee allowed us to park on their lot overnight. The next day after purchasing the new alternator, another good Samaritan helped us install it and Ray, from Armour Towing ensured we were safely on our way. No matter how much we thanked these gentlemen, it just did not seem enough. The truck is an heirloom to my husband and the Boler has been painted to match. We take pride in how these two vehicles look and how they are handled. These gentlemen were respectful of this and took the time to be sure we were taken care of as much as possible. Camrose community is fortunate to have such a fine business in their city. AMA has contracted a great company with excellent customer service. Lastly, Camrose may be a city, but the small town values shone through for these travelers passing through. Darcy and Dana Skow, Pigeon Lake Infamous seven

How can the infamous seven sitting on the Special Standing Committee on Members Services (Zwozdesky, Young, Calahasen, Dorward, Goudreau, Jablonski and Quest – who will also tell Albertans how to spend our Heritage Savings Fund) blatantly decide that Albertans should pay MLAs a hefty “departure allowance” as well as paying for 100 per cent of their gold-plated RRSPs? How can this be considered a

"reasonable package" – especially after Albertans have clearly said no to previous MLA packages? Moreover, this “reasonable package” was put forward last week by these seven MLAs despite Premier Redford’s clear statements (repeated at least three times) that this government was not going to condone “any kind of transition allowance." The millions of dollars spent on and by the Special Standing Committee on Members' Services, highlight, are a repetition of, and an addition to, the previous fortune accrued by Jack Major and his committee, and serves as another example of how this PC government is throwing "good money after bad" with dubious results. Albertans deserve to know exactly how much Jack Major’s committee and this current Special Standing Committee have (already) cost us. Furthermore, the MLAs sitting on these committees should be forced to reimburse the government coffers for every misspent cent squandered while coming up with these fraudulent proposals. Plus, these seven MLAs should be forced to resign for "insubordination"... to both their Constituents ... and to the premier. Albertans "hired"/voted for MLAs to make the promised changes – but these MLAs have in turn usurped the power accorded them. We need to send these MLAs a message loud and clear – one they cannot misunderstand or misinterpret! These seven PC MLAs should not be given the opportunity (as Hancock suggested) to "meet again soon to reconsider ..." No! They have blown their chance! They should be blackballed and ousted. PC MLAs setting their own remuneration and then subsequently feasting at the trough, must stop now. This is not the kind of government Albertans voted for ... when they voted PC in good faith … Look what it has brought us! More violating Bills! More bureaucratic fraud! Betrayal! And more excessive financial burdens. First this government collaborates with electricity moguls to force Albertans to pay for billions of dollars of unneeded DC transmission lines. And now, to add insult to injury, this government proposes to use our tax dollars to “compensate” already overpaid MLAs with multi-million dollar golden handshakes (severance, departure, or transition allowances) … all the while calling this a “reasonable” package … Whatever they call it …It is fraud! Alberta taxpayers are being swindled, and are again (still?) on the hook. Albertans would be wise to figure out what to do about it now and not wait another four years. Marion Leithead Bawlf

It’s a common misconception among women that in order to look your best, you need to devote ample time in front of the mirror each morning. However, looking your best from head-to-toe is much simpler than it sounds. Polly Blitzer, founder and editor-in-chief of BeautyBlitz.com offers a few beauty shortcuts to help you create a virtually flawless look! Instant Beauty Pick-Me-Up During the Work Week With just a few quick fixes in the morning, you can easily appear rejuvenated and refreshed! All it takes is a pop of color on your face – whether it is on your eyes, cheeks or lips – to give your overall beauty look a complete boost. One secret beauty weapon for a more energized look is a bright lip color, particularly cherry red or fuchsia. Put Your Best Face Forward With a Bright Smile Transforming your smile to one that is brighter and dazzling can literally make heads turn, and a simple way to update your beauty look is to whiten your teeth. Create An Effortless Smokey Eye to Transition From Day to Evening When running from the office to cocktails with friends, we don’t always have the time to seamlessly transition to an evening look with a full makeover. However, just a few swipes of eyeliner, shadow and mascara can help you achieve a show-stopping smokey eye in little to no time at all! To get this look in a hurry, rim your lash line with black or gray eyeliner. Then dust brown or gray shadow all over your lid and crease, making sure to blend the color up and outward. Lastly, to complete your hassle-free dramatic eye look, apply two coats of black volumizing mascara and you’re out the door! And of Course, Don’t Forget to Stay Hydrated! The best tip I have for always looking your absolute best? Stay hydrated by drinking at least eight glasses of water each day. This can sometimes be challenging when you’re on the go and find yourself reaching for a hot cup of java to keep pushing through the day. To help increase the amount of water you’re drinking, I recommend squeezing fresh lemon into the glass for a refreshing taste.

April Wine rocking hard after 40 years By Murray Green

Canada's iconic rock band April Wine has almost done it all in the past 43 years. The band was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, received the Lifetime Achievement Award for being part of Canadian music history for 40 years and at the Juno Awards, April Wine was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. But, April Wine has another item on its bucket list before it even thinks of packing it in. "We have never played in Camrose or at the Bailey Theatre," said guitarist and singer Brian Greenway. "We love playing in old theatres because the sound and lighting is better. You can never achieve sound greatness playing in a hockey arena. In theatres, everyone is up close and has a good seat. We are looking forward to playing at the Bailey. I've never played at a place called the Bailey. It sounds so musical. Even the name Bailey is intriguing for us. You have to play the Bailey if you are anybody." Myles Goodwyn was part of the first group of musicians to form the band in 1969. Brian is the second longest serving band member. "Along the way we have changed some band members, but Myles and I are still here and that is a good thing," said Brian. "I have seen friends come and go. This year, was the first time that I worked with someone I didn't know before they joined the band." Richard Lanthier was selected as the new bassist to bring a tighter bass sound. Roy "Nip" Nichol plays the drums and has been playing them since he was

15. He also adds vocals, giving the band four singers for the first time. It is a new experience for the legendary band. "Its not just the fact you have to get to know them and what they can play, but you want to know them as a person," said Brian. "I do a lot of jamming in clubs around Montreal, so I'm used to playing with different people and that helps." Both Myles and Brian enjoy rocking harder and faster. "We have played about 37 years together. The secret to our success is not hanging out together. Everybody in the band is like that. We have separate lives and after touring we just want to go and relax in our different ways. It's the chemistry between that makes it work." The hall of fame band still plays to about 65 sold out shows a year. "This is what we do. To stop doing it would be like retiring. I love playing and I don't think I'll ever retire," said Brian jokingly. "The evolving music and the enjoyment of playing live shows is what keeps me going. The only

feeling I can correlate it to is having a great workout at the gym. You feel satisfied that you have accomplished something. It makes your body and mind feel good." Brian still has the urge to break out in "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" at every concert. "It's my favourite song because I'm allowed to play a guitar solo and I have a nice time doing it. People also like to hear it. There are other songs I really enjoy playing like "Victim of Your Love," "Wings of Love" and "Child's Garden." April Wine tries to pack in as many songs as they can in 90 minutes without being the same every year. April Wine started in Halifax, Nova Scotia, late in 1969. Brothers David and Ritchie Henman joined with their cousin Jim Henman and fellow musician Myles Goodwyn to form a band called April Wine, a name chosen simply because they were two words that sounded good together.

April Wine Continued from page 15

Fifteen studio albums, three live releases, numerous compilations, a boxed set and thousands of concerts later April Wine still is enormously popular in Canada, and throughout the world. After moving to Montreal the band released "Fast Train" receiving a lot of airplay throughout Canada. In 1971, Jim Henman left the band and was replaced by Jim Clench. "You Could Have Been a Lady," originally recorded in England by Hot Chocolate, was a phenomenal hit for April Wine. This song provided the band with a number one hit in Canada and was followed with a cover of Elton John's "Bad Side Of The Moon." The album received gold status. Early in 1973 the two remaining members, Myles Goodwyn and Jim Clench, faced the dilemma of taking the band to the next level. After a few auditions Jerry Mercer and Gary Moffet joined the band and April Wine became a tighter, flashier band. The two new members helped to complete album number three Electric Jewels. This album remains a fan favourite with such classic songs as "Weeping Widow," "Just Like That" and "Lady Run Lady Hide." April Wine hit a Canadian music milestone for the best selling Canadian single. Both the single, "You Won't Dance With Me," as well as the album reached critical acclaim with the single reaching gold and the album reaching gold then platinum in Canada. Stand Back is one of the band's greatest accomplishments. This album provided the hits "Tonight Is A Wonderful Time To Fall In Love" and "I Wouldn't Want To Lose Your Love," but the non-hits were even more remarkable. Songs like "Cum Hear The Band," "Slowpoke," "Don't Push Me Around" and one the most requested songs today, "Oowatanite" pushed Stand Back to double-platinum status in Canada. With the release of The Whole World's Goin' Crazy, Steve Lang replaced Jim Clench on bass guitar. This album also featured a classic ballad "Like A Lover, Like A Song." April Wine's best selling Canadian single ever released was "You Won't Dance With Me." April Wine is the only band to have the world renowned Rolling Stones open for it in the Stones' hey day. April Wine was selected to pose as the headliner for a charity event, with a group called The Cockroaches as the opening act. Of course the Cockroaches, to everyone's delight, turned out to be The Rolling Stones. Brian joined the lineup for the summer 1977 tour and gave the group some added flexibility. Brian could sing, write and play harmonica, but his greatest contribution to April Wine was on guitar. Since Myles was a surprisingly skilled keyboard player, it was invaluable to have a third guitar player and April Wine could now create arrangements for three guitars which would develop into the group''s trademark power rock image during the following years.

Duet recital November 4

2012 FESTIVAL OF TREES

Submitted

It's not often one gets a chance to attend a performance in which two artists perform together on one instrument. But wait, it gets even better! The repertoire that will be performed is captivating and entertaining as well. Hear pianists Ina Dykstra and Nancy Watt present a duet recital (one piano, four hands) at the Augustana Faith & Life Centre Chapel on Sunday, November 4, at 3:00 p.m. This afternoon recital features a selection of interesting pieces from Legends by Dvorák. There are also a number of works written by Franz Schubert. His elegantly expressive piano pieces for four hands are considered some of the most significant works in the entire repertoire. Included in the program are Lebenssturme, Rondo in A Major, Two Characteristic Marches and one of the well-loved military marches. Ina Dykstra received her Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance from the University of Alberta, studying under Dr. Ernesto Lejano and Dr. Helmut Brauss. She has also completed graduate courses in Art Song, Accompaniment, Chamber Music and Solo Performance. She holds a degree in Music Therapy from Capilano College in Vancouver and has studied at the Banff School of Fine Arts. She has worked for the Yamaha School of Music and examined extensively across Canada for Conservatory Canada. Ina has recorded for CBC radio and has been hired as a clinician for both the Alberta Piano Teachers' Association and the Alberta Registered Music Teachers' Association. She does workshops for piano teachers across the prairie provinces, teaches summer courses for young teachers, and has a special interest in duet, two-piano and concerto music. Ms. Dykstra has over 30 years' experience as an accompanist, performer, clinician, examiner, adjudicator, and inspiring teacher. Nancy Watt holds a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Alberta and an Associateship in Piano Teaching from the Royal Conservatory of Music. After teaching music programs in both elementary and junior high schools for many years, she now teaches private piano and theory lessons from her home studio in St. Albert. She has served on the St. Albert and Area Piano Teachers' Association executive, four years as chair, and been involved in the planning and organization of Contemporary Showcase (a music festival that promotes and celebrates the works of contemporary Canadian composers). Nancy has a special interest in duet repertoire and has done performances of classical and jazz duet music in a variety of venues in the Edmonton area. An experienced accompanist, she enjoys working with violin, cello. flute, clarinet and voice students in the Edmonton area. Ms. Watt is an avid long distance runner and trains to compete in marathons and half-marathon races. She finds that her physical and mental training as an athlete has a correlation to the training of musicians and incorporates these coaching principles into her piano teaching.

Book signing at Wisemen's Way Submitted

Grant McDowell will hold a book signing at Wisemen's Way Bookstore in Camrose on Saturday, December 1, from noon until 4 p.m. His book, Bruised Knuckles and Other Lessons in Faith – Reflections on Reality from a Mentor's Heart encourages people who want more practical engagement between their faith and everyday experience. One reader said, “This is truly a book that you can't put down. As a man and as a father I find that Grant McDowell's honesty, wisdom and

down to earth common sense stories and observations were speaking directly to my heart. I especially like the reflections at the end of each chapter and feel the format would make for a great group discussion. Grant's willingness to share his personal experiences in order to stress the point he's making only serves to draw you in further and allow you to feel that you've truly made a connection with the author.” Another wrote, “I loved reading the book, Grant. It was nice and simple to read, but made me

think really, really hard. I am still pondering.” Bruised Knuckles addresses thirty-one topics including anger, stress, quality of life, power and control, conflict, forgiveness, and many more. Bruised Knuckles is helpful to anyone sorting out values, parents answering children's questions, or mentors helping friends. Grant has been involved in mentoring others for over thirty years. He earned his doctorate in ministry from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts.

Strome School "Forever in our Hearts" Submitted by Strome School Council

We, Strome School Council, are writing to express our deep sadness with the closure of Strome school, to share our story, and to embrace new beginnings. In the recent past, articles have been written sharing the views, opinions, and stand with which the BRSD has chosen to take. It is time for the whole story to be told. As many, within the Battle River School Division (BRSD), are aware, the Strome community has struggled over the years to ensure the viability of Strome School. Keeping in mind, all the while, the school stay within the mandated budget, presented by the BRSD. In January 2010, Strome School was targeted for closure. At a public forum, Strome parents repeatedly asked BRSD administration “If Strome School closed, what would class sizes/classroom configurations consist of at Daysland School?” The school division refused to comment. For Strome the fear of the unknown was far worse than fighting for what we knew: our school. In the spring of 2012 the projected enrollment of Strome School was 54 students, which meant all triple graded classes with quad grading for non-core subjects. Parents of Strome School had accepted this scheduling configuration and the commitment the BRSD had made to keeping the doors of Strome School open for the 2012-13 school year. Part of this commitment with BRSD, meant the implementation of a Virtual Learning Pilot Project. The Virtual Learning Project, required laptops for students, so that they could participate in virtual learning. The project was deemed to give Strome School the opportunity to continue offering a quality education with continued low enrollment. It would aid teachers in triple graded subject areas, by having students work independently at their own level on

their laptops. With agreement of the Strome School Council, The Society for the Friends of Strome School Council decided to fund this project by purchasing 26 netbooks and cart to the sum of approximately $17,000. Unfortunately, Strome School did not receive these computers until Feb/Mar 2012, and therefore, this project “barely got its feet wet.” To date, the project has never been utilized the way it was intended. This leaves Strome parents wondering “if this project, used according to the original plan, would have kept the doors of Strome School open for the 2012-13 school year?” We will never know. Enrollment numbers had changed at the beginning of the current school year. At the September School Council meeting, it was reported that the Strome School enrollment was down to 52 students and that the class schedule would not change significantly. One week before the September 30th deadline, Strome School lost another student, which brought the enrollment down to 51 students. It was at this time, that parents started wondering what the class configurations/scheduling would look like come Oct. 1. Inquiries were made to the school administrator, as well as, the BRSD administration. The responses parents received were “no information could be made available until October 1st, 2012. In a school with low enrollment, losing one more student would affect the school funding significantly! This concern, shared by parents and families, is what spearheaded the “Critical Parent Meeting” with BRSD board members and BRSD administration on September 27th. On September 27th, at the Critical Parent Meeting, the BRSD made it very clear, that due to the decline in enrollment, Strome was running a deficit of $14,000 for the 2012/13 school year. Assistant Superintendent of Instruction, came prepared

to explain classroom configurations/schedules for October 1st which identified the loss of teacher time and scheduling that would have four or five grades in core subjects a very real possibility. Parents brought forward the question, “Is it possible for the Strome community to inject $14,000 into the school, for the 2012/13 school year. We, the Strome parents, acknowledge the fact that this injection of funds would not be sustainable and we would be accepting and ready for closure June 30, 2013. This would enable Strome School, teachers, staff, students and parents time to prepare and transition. It would also provide for the receiving school, for September 2013, the necessary time to prepare and plan.” BRSD stated that instructional funds cannot be provided by individuals or organizations and that this is an Alberta Education policy. Parents challenged the BRSD to approach the government, with the request that this policy be reviewed or that an exception be made under these circumstances. The BRSD stated that the review of a policy of this kind would take substantial time. Strome parents' biggest hopes were that somehow, the BRSD would be able to keep the Strome School open for one final year. That the $14,000 could be found somewhere in their multimillion dollar budget, just to get the children, teachers and community through one last year at Strome School! Another request coming from Strome School parents was, “Would the BRSD accommodate Strome’s request of providing a week, until Oct. 5, for families to make the decision to transfer or not transfer their children to another school?” Strome parents felt that this would allow the parents time to explain the situation to their children, giving the children time to absorb the information and giving the receiving school time to prepare? The request was denied. The BRSD

did provide the consolation that the children would not have to be physically in the Daysland School the following day, to be part of the final count, but that a phone call to register would be sufficient. One cannot stress enough, this provided the Strome parents a mere 24-hour window of opportunity before the cut-off date. Parents were forced to make some hard decisions regarding their children's education. The morning following the meeting, a substantial number of families had felt that it was the best decision for their children to transfer to Daysland School and by the end of the day 21 students were registered in Daysland. It was at that time that many of the remaining families felt that it was in the best interest of the education of their children to follow suit. It is important, for those of you who are not aware, the cutoff for funding from one school to the next is September 30th. So in essence, if you wish for your child to attend a different school you must have them enrolled in that school by September 30th or the government funding for your child does not follow, it stays at their previous school. BRSD Superintendent, indicated that the teachers, at the receiving school, have to see the "whites of our child’s eyes" and "our child’s bums" in those seats on September 28th (last instructional date prior to the cut off) or the funding does not follow the child. Strome parents were then left with 12 hours to make a decision. At the September 27th meeting the Superintendent stressed the fact that the BRSD cannot close Strome School. It was stated that even if there is one student in attendance, they have to keep it open and appropriate closure procedures had to be followed. This was re-iterated numerous times throughout the course of the meeting. In the October 9th issue of the Community Press, headline “Strome School, at six students, closed by Superintendent.” At the time of

this writing, not one student is attending Strome School. The Strome School is locked. Every single student has been relocated. Unfortunately, the school doors are closed and the Strome community is grieving the loss. Many tears were shed over the loss of our school, however, the Daysland School staff, students and parents were extremely welcoming, compassionate and understanding. We cannot thank them enough for their patience and support. The Strome parents know that this transition was just as hard on them, as it was on us! It was clearly evident, with the time that was spent, and dedication given, Daysland helped to ensure this transition went as easily as possible. We are pleased to report that most of our Strome School teachers have followed our Strome students to Daysland. This has made the transition much easier for our students and families. BRSD has assured the Strome School Council and the Friends of Strome School Council Society that they will have input on the allocation of supplies and resources of Strome School, with the majority of items going to the Daysland School. Strome School parents are still a united front and we will not allow the closure of our school to cause divisions within our community. We are committed to focusing our efforts in a ‘new’ direction and will do so as families and friends. We are happy to have blended with Daysland and together we will be a strong voice for the education of our children! We acknowledge that other schools, within the division, are also experiencing cuts and are having to make some hard decisions. The unfortunate part, is this is just the beginning. We would like to encourage all schools and all communities to work together. Together we must stand up for what we believe in: our children! “We must demand that Every Student, Every Day, A Success!”

All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church celebrates 50 years Submitted

A cool brisk wind was blowing the morning of Sunday, Oct. 21, but the warmth of fellowship for the 50th anniversary of All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church made for a very successful commemoration of the past, celebration of the present and planning for the future. The morning began with six Sunday School students throwing petals on the steps of the church as His Grace Bishop ILarion entered the church. He was greeted by Parish president Zenovia Lazaruik, Sunday School student River Kelly, Parish Priest Father Michael Maranchuk and Past Clergy Father Mykola Sawchenko. More than 80 people received Divine Liturgy: founding members, honored members, visitors and dignitaries. Upon the completion of the liturgy everyone gathered on the front steps for a group picture then the two founding members (Nick and Steve Nikiforuk) and long time honored members (Alex and Kay Salahub, Lena Radomsky, Marie Wenarchuk) planted three trees, which were blessed by His Grace Bishop ILarion. Parish president unveiled the bench with a plaque commemorating the event. Everyone then gathered in the church basement for the anniversary meal and program. The program included an address by His Grace Bishop ILarion, Parish Priest Father Michael

New Norway moves Central Agencies Home of the Week Move into your brand new home back to a hamlet By Murray Green A wish has been granted to New Norway residents. They will be making the switch from a village to a hamlet starting on Nov. 1. Battle River - Wainwright MLA and municipal affairs minister Doug Griffiths didn't stand in the way of the results of a village vote. "We received the word on Thursday (Oct. 25) that we will be taking over all services. We are hoping for a smooth transition," said county administrator Steve Gerlitz. The majority of voters, about 59 per cent, cast its ballot to abandon the village council style of government and go back to a hamlet where they fall under the umbrella of Camrose County. The vote was held on June 21. "From my point of view, and council's, this is going to be a new experience for us," admitted Reeve Don Gregorwich. "We are really going to have to take everything one step at a time. I'm sure there are procedures and recommended actions in place that we have to follow. The timing is respectable as far as the budgeting process goes. It will add a new dimension to our total budget, so we are going to have to give a lot of careful consideration to all of the details of having a new hamlet in our community." About 18 months ago the community asked for a dissolution study to be conducted by Alberta Municipal Affairs. After

collecting the information over last winter, a meeting was held in New Norway earlier in June to share the results of the study. Out of the 323 residents, 117 votes were cast (two were rejected). Unofficially, 68 voted in favour of dissolution and 47 were against the change of status. "We know they have a water situation where the reservoir needs improvement. It falls under the Highway 12/21 Water Commission. The details of their operation, we haven't been privy too. As a village, they had their own responsibilities," said Reeve Don. "We stood on the sidelines and let the people of New Norway decide what they wanted to do and now we have to start learning about what needs to be done. We need a lot of communication and we have procedures to follow. We have to evaluate the entire picture and go from there." The village staff will become county employees. "We will be working with Alberta Environment and New Norway staff to make the transition of water, sewer and waste water as smooth as possible," said county administrator Steve Gerlitz. "We invited village employees to our open house and our councillors and staff will be there to answer any questions they might have." The next council meeting is on Nov. 27. Budget deliberations will be held on Nov. 28 to 30.

The first Camrose Chamber of Commerce customer service award was presented to Bobbi Leibl Oct. 17. Leibl is a Canadian Tire employee who is known for her bubbly personality, her willingness to help customers find what they need, and her ability to solve problems. She is usually the first person customers see and hear. Other nominees for the customer service award were Neila Espirtu, Petro Canada Service Station, Craig Haight, Kal Tire; Glenda Rott, Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty; Micheyl Voytechek, Farnham West Stolee; Virginia Wight, Bra Necessities; and Joanne Wilton, RBC. Espirtu was acknowledged by her nominator as someone who is courteous, smiling all the time and polite to customers. "She sometimes offers compliments," said the nominator, "which makes their day." Haight has been the subject of a variety of emails from customers who have expressed gratitude for the assistance he has provided with last minute emergencies such as flat tires. Rott helps local residents learn more about buying a home through The Home Program.

She is also an active community volunteer. Voytechek is generally the first and last person people see at the Farnham West Stolee office. She was acknowledged for taking a special pride in offering a smile and a positive word, "knowing that a little kindness goes a long way to improving a person's day." Wight was recognized for taking the time to listen and advise people based on solid product knowledge and experience as a professional fitter. "She is patient, kind and compassionate," said the nominator, "never rushes customers into making decisions, and, if asked, will weigh in with her opinions. Many customers have become repeat customers who ask specifically for Virginia." Wilton has been a mortgage specialist for the last seven years. "She goes well above and beyond her clients' expectations," said the nominator, "meeting them at odd hours of the day or evening, answering their questions and making sure the mortgage process is as easy as possible. Joanne also meets many of her clients in other capacities because she is an active participant in a wide range of community activities."

Kodiaks defeat Wolverines in overtime By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks scored two first period goals and hung on to a 3-2 victory in overtime on Oct. 20. Camrose came out strong with tallies from Luc Lemire and Nolan Marshall in the opening frame. However, the Kodiaks let the Whitecourt Wolverines back into the game with two goals in 29 seconds. The lapse squandered the edge Camrose had built up. "We have been playing better lately and we had another good week of practices, so we just have to build on each game," said Tanner MacMaster. After a scoreless third period, Tanner notched the winner a minute into the extra frame. "It was on a four on three and Nelson Gadoury was playing the point. He fed it to me and I shot it, hit the goalie in the shoulder and it rolled in. It was a lucky shot, but it went in and I'll take it," explained Tanner. "Anytime you score in overtime, it is a big goal. You don't get tired of scoring those and everyone was pretty excited to see the puck go in. We needed that game." Camrose out shot the Wolverines 27-22 with goalie Matt Gibney making 20 saves. The Grande Prairie Storm blanked the Kodiaks 2-0 by scoring both power play markers in the middle period on Oct. 19. Camrose outshot the Storm 26-24 and goalie Devin McDonald was named the star of the game, along with Grande Prairie netminder Curtis Skip. "We have some important games coming up and we have to concentrate on getting two points at a time," added Tanner. "We have to roll with the momentum, work hard and get the two points." The 16-year-old admitted making the jump to junior has been tough. "I feel I'm fitting in well here and have got off to a good start," said Tanner, who is now off to try out for Team Canada. "I'm going to attend the World Junior A Challenge tryouts in Calgary. They invited 60 players and Nelson and I are going," Tanner said. "It's an honour to be invited for sure. Hopefully, I can make the team, but I'm only 16, so I understand if I don't make it, as well. I hope I'm lucky enough to represent my country because it would be a huge honour. I just have to play my game and don't do anything special. I have to do what I do best (not try to do too much) and hopefully the coaches like what they see and I can represent my country." Camrose is at home to the Olds Grizzlys in the EnCana Arena on Nov. 2. The Kodiaks also host the Calgary Canucks on Nov. 3. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

Local triathlete competes in Ironman world championships By Murray Green

Local triathlete Kelly Bauer swam, biked and ran his way onto triathlon’s biggest stage; the Ironman world championships in Kona, Hawaii. Ironman is the undisputed toughest single day test of endurance where athletes start by swimming 3.8 km, then bike 180 km, then run a 42.2 km marathon. Kelly, a police officer with the Camrose Police Service has been competing in sprint, Olympic and half-ironman triathlons for the past 12 years, but until this year had never tested his abilities at a full ironman. Kelly’s road to the ironman world championships in Hawaii was an interesting journey. He started the year without any plans to compete in an ironman. “In May, my friend and neighbor Jeff Humphrey, who had registered for Ironman Canada, asked me to cycle with him to help him train. Jeff’s specialty is cycling and I had never focused my training on ironman distances, so I wasn’t sure how much help I would be," said Kelly. "It was on May 12 and we were nearing the end of a tough, windy 156 km bike ride. Somehow we had enough left in our legs to sprint the last few kilometers into Camrose. I remember being beside Jeff and saying to him something along the lines that I might have some ability in long distance. I vividly remember Jeff replying with a quick and sarcastic “ya think”? It was at that moment that I caught the ironman virus, but would need to compete for a qualifying spot.” Kelly was already entered in the Great White North half-ironman (1.9 km swim, 90 km bike, 21 km run) in Stony Plain on July 1, which offered qualifying spots

Kelly Bauer feels blessed to be able to compete in a sport he loves.

to Ironman Canada. During the race Kelly was on pace to shatter his personal best time, but lost 30 minutes repairing a flat tire on his bike. He then entered a halfironman race in Calgary on July 29, which also offered qualifying spots to Ironman Canada. Kelly set a personal best time at a more difficult half-ironman course and in the process qualified for Ironman Canada on Aug. 26. “Going into my first Ironman I didn’t know what to expect. I had told my family that if everything went perfectly I might be capable of finishing in 10 hours,” added Kelly. He completed the course in nine hours and 41 minutes and finished second out of the 325 competitors in his age group. “I had such a fantastic race in Penticton and I will forever be proud of my first ironman.” What he didn’t realize at the time, was that he came within

eight minutes of breaking the course record for his age group. While Kelly was still being escorted from the finish line by volunteers the next chapter of his breakout year began when he was congratulated on qualifying for the ironman world championships in Hawaii. “It took a few moments to sink in because I was so focused on Ironman Canada that all my goals had ended at the finish line in Penticton," explained Kelly. "Now, after just completing my first ironman, I was being told that I qualified for the world championships that were in six weeks. To be honest, I wasn’t looking forward to doing another ironman, especially as I stood at the finish line with the burning sensation of lactic acid built up in my legs. Thinking about another six weeks of training wasn’t appealing at the moment either. But, I just

couldn’t say no to the opportunity knowing that I would kick myself for the rest of my life if I didn’t give it a try.” Unlike all other ironman events, athletes simply cannot register for the world championships. This year more than 100,000 triathletes competed in 37 ironman events across the globe, many of them hoping to qualify for one of the 2,000 coveted slots in Hawaii. If successful they will earn the right to race with the best triathletes in the world. The ironman in Kona, Hawaii is well known for its heat, humidity and crosswinds. This year the island was angry and delivered the toughest conditions that the race had seen in years. The ocean surf was high for the swim and the winds were relentless during the bike. If that didn’t finish competitors off, the island cranked up the heat to

34 degrees Celsius along with 80 per cent humidity to try to break the will and body of competitors. Kelly refused to let the conditions get the best of him and crossed the historic finish line on Ali’i drive in a time of 10 hours and nine minutes finishing 23rd out of the 233 competitors in his age group. “To say that I accomplished my goals this year would be a lie. Competing in the ironman world championships wasn’t my goal. I can’t even say it was my dream. Each year, I watch the ironman world championships on television and not once did I imagine myself being part of that race.” However, the picture became clearer as he trained. “I remember telling my wife Monique over the past few years that I would be satisfied as I get older to simply maintain my race times. But, somehow I am gradually getting faster. I feel blessed that I am able to compete in a sport that I love. I enjoy being fit and view races as a celebration of my fitness. I'm blessed to be healthy and don’t ever take it for granted. I have been so fortunate that I have never been injured (even after he was hit by a water truck, while cycling on the highway, but that’s another story).” Being fit in three sports is tough. "Triathlon is such a difficult sport trying to maintain each discipline and then being able to combine them all on race day. I love it because it is difficult, which is portrayed in an ad that I recently read that said “No one ever says, Let’s Play Triathlon.”' Racing in Ironman Canada and qualifying for the ironman world championships in Hawaii has made 2012 a year that Kelly will always remember.

Quilting from the Heart produces cookbook

Ardelle Kerr with a copy of Desserts First. By Dan Jensen

Ardelle Kerr jokes that any time she and her staff at Quilting from the Heart have a potluck dinner they should serve dessert first because, by the time the main course is over, everyone is already too full to enjoy the real treats. It only stands to reason, therefore, that when it came time to come up with a name for Quilting from the Heart's new cookbook she chose Desserts First. Over two years in the making, Desserts First is a 102-page collection of the favourite recipes of Quilting from the Heart staff. "Any time we gather as a staff for a Christmas party, barbecue or a retreat, we do a potluck," said Kerr. "We agreed that we are all pretty good cooks and that we should pool all our recipes." After gathering the recipes and having them typed, the cookbook was turned over to Ardelle's daughter, a tech writer, who did the formatting, and eventually, The Camrose Booster, which did the printing. "The staff came up with some great recipes," said Kerr. Desserts First is available for sale at the Quilting from the Heart store on 48 Avenue and from The Sewing Centre in uptown Camrose. All after-expense proceeds will be donated to Brigantia Place, a Camrose Women's Shelter. "Quilting from the Heart deals with women and we thought it would be a good idea to support a place that helps women who are in trouble," said Kerr. While it has been on store shelves for only a few days, the cookbook has already generated a lot of interest. "We sold 50 of them in less than a week and are already thinking we might have to do a second printing," said Kerr. "The staff was as excited as I was to get the book out in time for the Christmas shopping season." Quilting from the Heart has been meeting the quilting needs of Camrose and area residents for the last 13 years.

Community Spirit Award for BRCF By Dan Jensen

The 2012 Community Spirit award was presented to the Battle River Community Foundation at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Week awards banquet Oct. 17. "Battle River Community Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that exists for the purpose of helping local donors support causes," said awards banquet mistress of ceremonies Diane Hutchinson. "It's a rather unique organization because it can fill in the gaps by providing funding to programs that are not well supported by government funding." In its 17 years of existence, the Battle River Community Foundation has been able to raise more than $6.7 million in endowment funds and return more than $1.67 million to the community through grants and support of programs. "The Foundation serves the community of Camrose but also most of east central Alberta, and its support helps keep our rural communities strong," said Hutchinson. Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler said the award belongs to the people of the Battle River area. "All we do is facilitate the philanthropic wishes of you." Fowler noted he has been impressed with the generosity of those who give to the Foundation.

Kirsten Hunter from KH Events and Decor presented the 2012 Community Spirit award to Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler.

"Between two and three times the national average is given to BRCF as to other foundations. That is why Camrose and area is a great place." Other nominees for the Community Spirit award were Canadian Tire, Curves and Habitat for Humanity.

Canadian Tire supports local children through the Jumpstart program, which funds registration fees and equipment purchase for sports ranging from swimming to martial arts. Last year, 54 local children were assisted, and the goal for 2012 is to assist 70.

Curves supports ongoing breast cancer programs, the Camrose Food Bank and Silent Santa. Staff at Curves painted 40 doors this fall in support of a Habitat for Humanity project. Habitat for Humanity has built 22 homes locally since it began in Camrose in 1996 and has provided funds for another 30 homes in Honduras. "Habitat for Humanity has averaged two homes per year in the last five years and doubled its capacity to four homes this year," said Hutchinson. Habitat for Humanity Camrose has twice received the Habitat for Humanity Canada capacity award in recognition of the number of homes built relative to the population of the service area. Habitat for Humanity Camrose operates ReStore, a retail-based social enterprise which sells new and gently used home building materials, supplies, appliances, furniture and other home products. The estimate is that ReStore diverted 88 tonnes of material from local landfills in 2011 alone. Proceeds from ReStore cover overhead and generate funds that are used in support of local builds. The Community Spirit Award recognizes a business or not-for-profit organization that gives back to the community in a truly generous way. The 2011 award recipient was OPT Waste Management.

Call for nominations Nominations for the 2013 recipient of the Alberta Women Entrepreneurs' Celebration of Achievement Award are being accepted until November 15. "We are seeking nominations for an exceptional entrepreneur whose business originated in Alberta. This visionary woman should be an inspirational leader who has contributed significantly to the economy and community and who acts as a role model for women in business," said Alberta Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) CEO, Tracey Scarlett. The winner will be chosen by a jury of recognized business leaders in Alberta. Arlene Dickinson, the 2012 Celebration of Achievement Award Recipient, said "This award means so much because it is coming from Alberta. It's coming from a group of people who care about supporting and helping women." The Celebration of Achievement Award will be presented at a gala in Calgary, May 9, 2013. This is the only event of its kind in Alberta that brings together female entrepreneurs with representatives from government, industry, media and educational institutions to celebrate the contribution of an inspiring female entrepreneur. The nomination form is available on line.

Timberline Roofing and PartyLite Gifts recognized

Linda Cherry, from Alberta Works, presented the Employer of Choice award to Darrell Zietarski. By Dan Jensen

Alberta Works presented its 2012 Employer of Choice award to Timberline Roofing at the 28th annual Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Week banquet Oct. 17. Owned by Darrell Zietarski, Timberline Roofing is a 16-year-old company with multiple crews and sub contractors working all over the province. Employees say they are expected to work hard but know they will be rewarded for their efforts through the development of new skills, wage increases, more responsibility and opportunities for advancement. They also say the company has provided many training opportunities and shows genuine concern for the safety of staff. Timberline Roofing has a strong record of giving back to community causes. "They were one of the first groups on site in Slave Lake last year," said the nominator, "and they feel genuinely honoured to have been part of rebuilding that community."

Runner-up for the Employer of Choice award was Care Dental. Owned by Dr. Dennis Fair, Care Dental is called a positive work place where each employee is able to perform with confidence, knowing he or she will be provided with mentorship, guidance and support available when it is needed. The business has monthly staff meetings to ensure everyone is informed of any upcoming changes or concerns. Staff has also been sent to conferences and other education or professional development opportunities. In addition, funding for license fees is made available and uniforms are provided. "Staff members feel that their families are important and that their employer recognizes this and works hard to honour family activities, commitments, and even children's fund-raising campaigns," said the nominator. The staff say it is a privilege to be part of the Care Dental team.

Darryl Rott from Pics Photography presented the home based business of the year award to Lori Friedrichs, of PartyLite Gifts. By Dan Jensen

PartyLite Gifts was named homebased business of the year at the 28th annual Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Week banquet Oct. 17. The world's largest direct seller of Candles, Partylite is acknowledged for its quality and service and the way in which it stands behind its products. "Every time I go to work I end up at a party," said Lori Friedrichs, who has been with Partylite for 13 years. In addition to hosting a range of parties and events and encouraging others to start their own business, Friedrichs is a believer in giving back to the community, and has been a strong supporter of local causes and events. A Partylite preferred customer/host program allows party hosts to earn additional dollars. The runner-up for the home-based business of the year award was Nails by Terri.

Owned by Terri Halsetti, Nails by Terri has been in operation since 2007. "It was for family reasons that Terri decided to be at home but also a reality that income was necessary," said Small Business Week banquet mistress of ceremonies Diane Hutchinson. "Terri took the training, became licenced and began to build a career as a nails therapist. She was soon serving a client base of over 100 people and also began teaching others who were entering the field." Although Terri has suffered health issues and reduced her client list, she continues to provide service in all areas, from manicures and pedicures to gel nails, waxing and education services. In addition, she employs students through the local high school's work experience program and continues her own professional development. She is a strong supporter of various community causes and organizations.

McKibben challenges Augustana students to get involved By Murray Green

Global warming and the harmful repercussions are arriving sooner than expected. That's the message author Bill McKibben left with University of Alberta, Augustana Campus students and guests at the Augustana Chapel on Oct. 23. "Climate change is not a future threat. It is an urgent threat in some places," explained Bill. "The melt of the arctic this summer was a powerful signal that things are going very wrong. We need to stop putting carbon into the atmosphere much more quickly than we thought five or ten years ago." Sometimes it is hard to think of global warming on a cold miserable day outside. "It is the scientist's job to tell us what is going on for the whole planet. The other people we ask to help us are in the insurance industry. They have been telling us for the last 20 years, take this very seriously," added Bill. "We want to spread the word as far out as we can. We may not convince every single person, but we need to do something now before it is too late." Good things are happening on campus to raise awareness. "It is a great privilege to be in Alberta and Camrose. It is a real good opportunity to hear

Bill McKibben encourages university students to get involved in climate change by acting now before it is too late.

what people are thinking and it is a good forum to tell people what the stakes are," said Bill. "The decisions that are made in Alberta about its energy future affect the rest of the world." Bill knows that the Augustana students are resilient. "I

hope they join in this global fight to find a change. We work with all people, but young people especially, in every country in the world except North Korea. It is always fun to broaden our pool of minds to find solutions," said Bill.

Bullying not a rite of passage Second Thought A few weeks ago, my 14-yearold nephew announced to the family that he was gay. Everyone was very supportive and proud that he had the courage to make this step. For me, his “coming out” at such a young age was a sign of the times, an indication that our society has perhaps become, relatively speaking, more accepting of gays and lesbians, to the point that young gay people feel more comfortable in being open about their sexual orientation. My brother had come out in his early 20s in the mid-1990s and my spouse’s uncle had done the same in his early 40s in the late 1980s. This growing trend of people coming out at earlier ages is surely a positive sign. But Canadian society still has a long way to go before it can be said that lesbians, gays, bisexuals, the transgendered and queers (LGBTQ) are unequivocally treated with the same degree of respect as the rest of the members of our society. In fact, given the amount of media attention directed to bullying these days, my only concern with my nephew’s coming out was how he would be treated by others, particularly his peers at school. Research shows that LGBTQ students experience high levels of bullying, including physical assault and verbal harassment. In a recent Canadian study, LGBTQ students reported they were verbally harassed not only by their peers, but by their teachers too. Fortunately, this research also found that LGBTQ students from schools with anti-homophobia policies reported significantly less bullying than their peers who attended schools without

such progressive policies. Clearly, well-designed institutional responses make a difference and deserve further attention. The recent case of Amanda Todd, the BC teen who committed suicide after being tormented by bullies has certainly brought national attention to the issue of bullying. Days after Amanda’s death, the NDP called on the Commons to support a study that could result in the creation of a national anti-bullying strategy. This is certainly a step in the right direction. However, before any social policy is drafted and implemented it must be informed by extensive research and evidence. Indeed, bullying is a complicated issue with many facets, including cyber-bullying. While bullying has probably existed forever, what is unique these days is how ubiquitous is has become as a result of social media – texting, Facebook and

tweeting. Teenagers, and more and more pre-adolescents, have access to cellphones and computers which means that the bullying is no longer confined to schools and playgrounds. Children these days are, potentially, exposed to bullying 24-hours a day! Telling children to simply ignore it or not use this technology amounts to blaming the victim and rewarding the offenders who can be satisfied by the fact they have succeeded in completely ostracising their victims. While anti-bullying programs exist across the country, they tend to focus on the bull and do little in terms of prevention, helping victims and educating parents, teachers and students. Clearly, more research needs to be done in these areas. Hopefully, the federal government, who have been very bully-like with their general muzzling of Canadian scientists and forcing through legislation without proper debate, will see the value of spending money on research devoted to understanding bullying and implementing anti-bullying programmes in our schools and communities. Bullying is about the abuse of power, and violates human rights to safety, dignity and sense of belonging. Bullying shouldn’t be considered some “rite of passage,” but rather as a significant public health problem that needs to be addressed in a meaningful way. Ultimately, I think we all agree that all our children, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, social class or sexual orientation, deserve to grow up in safe environments that are inclusive and respectful, so that they can become healthy, caring and engaged citizens.

Good things are happening on campus to raise awareness. "I see solar panels going up, but don't be satisfied with that. We need to do more than just one building at a time. We need a college reform of thinking. We need the world institutions to join us about reducing the amount of fossil fuels used. In Alberta, you have more leverage than other people have," said Bill. "We need to persuade Albertans that the future isn't in tar sands, but rather using the wealth that has been built up to find alternative methods and energy." No deed is too small. "We all can make a difference and you are not alone. Go to 350.org and see for yourself how other people want a change as well. I don't know if we can win or not, because time is very short. I don't know if society can act that nimbly and quick enough to turn this around. We have to do it with great speed and urgency." Bill is the author of a dozen books about the environment, beginning with The End of Nature in 1989, which is regarded as the first book for a general audience on climate change. He is a founder of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org, which has coordinated 15,000 rallies in 189 countries since 2009.

Time Magazine called him "the planet’s best green journalist" and the Boston Globe said in 2010 that he was "probably the country’s most important environmentalist." His next book, The Age of Missing Information, was published in 1992. It is an account of an experiment during which Bill collected everything that came across the 100 channels of cable television for a single day. He spent a year watching the 2,400 hours of videotape, and then compared it to a day spent on the mountaintop near his home. In late summer 2006, Bill helped lead a five-day walk across Vermont to demand action on global warming that some newspaper accounts called the largest demonstration to date in America about climate change. Beginning in January 2007 he founded stepitup07.org to demand that congress enact curbs on carbon emissions that would cut global warming pollution 80 percent by 2050. With six college students, he organized 1,400 global warming demonstrations across all 50 states of America on April 14, 2007. Step It Up 2007 has been described as the largest day of protest about climate change in the United States' history.

Ford Focus gaining fans By Dan Jensen

Aero-crisp, sure-footed, smart, inspired. Those are words that describe the 2013 Ford Focus available now at Lamb Ford Sales Camrose. "It's a car that has been gaining the admiration of some of the toughest automotive critics around the world," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read. Fuel savings The 2013 Ford Focus makes the most out of tank of gas, thanks to a 2.04 litre fourcylinder engine that uses just 4.8 litres per 100 km on the highway and just 7.2 litres per 100 km in the city thanks in part to the extra precise Twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT), and active grille shutters. The sweet steering and sporty ride of the Focus – especially in the corners – is the result of standard Torque Vectoring Control and a sporttuned suspension. Electric power-assisted steering supplies precise response at highway speeds and ideal manoeuvreability at slower speeds by constantly measuring steering input. A PowerShift 6-speed automatic transmission delivers torque to the wheels 100 per cent of the time during shifts, supplying excellent responsiveness. Both Titanium and the SE Plus Package include SelectShift Automatic capability to change gears at the touch of a button. For those who like to do the gear changing themselves, Focus can also be equipped with a five-speed manual transmission. Focus ST The Focus ST hatchback takes all the fun attributes of the Focus and pushes them even further. Mash the aluminum accelerator pedal and you'll be treated to the rollick-

ing performance of a 252 horsepower 2.0 litre EcoBoost fourcylinder engine that's linked to a 6-speed manual transmission. An overboost feature can sustain increased torque (from 3,000 rpm to 4,500 rpm) for 15 seconds at a time, enhancing its performance feel. To further amplify your aural experience, engineers channeled the lowerengine frequencies of this signature sound into the cabin. Other ST upgrades include HID headlamps, variable-ratio electric power-assisted steering, disc brakes at all four corners, a unique sport suspension, dramatic centre tailpipes, eye-catching 18-inch Y-spoke painted aluminum wheels, and available exclusive Tangerine Scream Metallic Tri-coat paint. Inside, you're at the centre of the action in its performance-minded cockpit. Enter and start it without inserting your key. Survey your instrumentation from RECARO fullleather trimmed heated front seats. Grip the unique leatherwrapped steering wheel with ST badge. Monitor the mini cluster gauges, including turbo boost, as you charge out of the corners. Advanced Torque Vectoring Control with cornering understeer control helps keep you firmly planted. And three

modes on the AdvanceTrac electronic stability control system let you choose how much or how little assistance you want from the system. Keeping you connected With voice-activated Ford SYNC, the system recognizes your paired phone and downloads your contacts to support voice calling. It also plays music from your phone, MP3, USB or iPod. Just touch a steering wheel button and say things like "Call John" or "Play genre: hip hop." SYNC also offers 911 Assist with GPS location reporting. With Sirius XM Satellite Radio, you can listen to your favourites all across Canada. Your six-month prepaid subscription gets you the best in audio entertainment, including 100 per cent commercial free music from every genre, worldclass news, sports, comedy and entertainment. To amplify your experience, upgrade to SYNC with MyFord Touch, which includes an eightinch LCD touch screen, a 4.2 inch instrument cluster screen, familiar five-way controls on the steering wheel, and a media hub with class-exclusive dual USB ports. Simple graphics and fast touch-screen responses make it easy to control your

phone, entertainment, navigation and climate with this voiceactivated system. The Navigation System features interactive maps you can zoom and scroll – complete with 3D landmarks. SYNC with MyFord Touch recognizes over 10,000 voice commands – everything from "Destination: nightlife" to "Find a coffee shop." There's almost no limit to what you can do, all with your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Raise your expectations You'll be amazed at all that Focus has to offer inside. Luxury touches come in the form of leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, and two interior style packages (in Tuscany Red or Arctic White), which feature two-tone leather-trimmed seats, matching door-panel inserts, coordinated steering wheel trim and more. For entertainment there's a premium audio system from Sony with ten speakers. The best part: you'll enjoy it from a cockpit that was designed to help you conquer the road. The Ford Focus virtually parks itself. First, simply press a button and active park assist alerts you when it has located an appropriate parallel parking spot. Then, take your hands

off the wheel and Focus literally steers itself into place. All you have to do is follow system prompts to shift gears and control the brake and accelerator pedals. Handles the unexpected The next-generation dualstage front airbags of the Personal Safety System feature optimized tethering that helps to shape the airbag for controlled inflation. A driver's knee airbag inflates between the knees and instrument cluster in a crash. An adaptive tunnel vent helps tailor the front-seat side airbags to occupant size for personalized protection, while side-curtain air bags with rollfold technology increase peace of mind by deploying to cover outboard seating positions in both rows of the vehicle. You can see the 2013 Ford Focus when you visit Lamb Ford Sales, at 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 672-2411 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

On the road … You can live your best life after cancer By Murray Green

Local cancer survivors learned that survivorship is living with and beyond cancer. Life and friendships don't end with cancer, they only increase. The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN), CancerBridges and Wellspring Calgary hosted a two-day symposium to celebrate life on Oct. 19 and 20. "We wanted to show people around Camrose that there is support out there for cancer patients and survivors," said survivor Mike Lang of CancerBridges. "We started our program about a year ago. It is a collection of researchers, nurses, doctors and survivors who are really interested in helping people make the rest of their life, the best of their life." There are a number of ways to accomplish that feat. "All of the presenters at the symposium offered ideas on what it means to live well. We define a cancer survivor as anyone who has been touched by it," said Mike. "Caregivers, family members and anyone else impacted by cancer is also a survivor. Often times friends and family go through just as much, if not more, than cancer survivors. It is just in a different way." The PCN programs are for survivors and caregivers. "Survivorship is an important term to define. It is living through and beyond cancer," Mike added. "Survivorship covers the physical, psychological and economic issues of cancer from the first diagnosis phase until the end of life. It means to have a good quality of life. It is also a process that you continually need to work on. Nobody has to face cancer alone." Research has shown that other than the initial diagnosis of cancer, people experience the highest levels of distress one to three months post-treatment. "There are lots of tools and help out there," said Mike. "People can go to the www.CancerBridges.ca web site and see the information we have compiled and gained from all of the professionals and survivors in this province." The site has videos and blog posts about specific topics. It has an easy search system to learn more about certain topics. "We want people to take away three things from the day," stated Mike. "You are not alone, going through a transition back into life is difficult, but normal, and that there are lots of resources out there to help. People can choose how they want to live the rest of their lives. They didn't choose cancer, but they have a choice about life after it."

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

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

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

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

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

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

Peewee Buffaloes stampede to first place By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes peewee football team finished the regular season in a three-way tie for first place in the Capital District Minor Football Association. The 6-1 Buffaloes blanked the St. Albert Colts 38-0 on Oct. 21 at Kin Park to earn a share of top spot. "We play the Spruce Grove/ Stony Plain Predators in the opening game of the playoffs," said coach James Kozak. "We were tied with Wetaskiwin and the Spruce Grove team, so playoffs should be interesting." The Buffaloes have been playing like a huge herd this season. "Our team defense has been very dominant after our opening loss to the Wetaskiwin squad. We gave up a total of 25 points in the six wins, including four shutouts," explained James. "Defensive coordinator Jeff Twomey deserves a lot of credit for bringing this group together over the last six weeks." The offence has made some adjustments. "On offense, we have been working on running a hurry up or no huddle offense that you commonly see played in United States college football with teams like Florida, Oregon, Texas and Auburn among others who play this style, which greatly increases the volume of plays your team gets on offense," added James. "In peewee football, most teams get 25 to 30 offensive plays in a game; with the hurry up, we are getting close to 40 plays, which gives you a better chance to win the game every week." First year quarterback Drew Loosemore has been instrumental in being able to implement this type of offense. "He is maturing by leaps and bounds every week," said the proud coach. "Stand out performances so far this year on defense go to Dorien Sikstrom, Quin Twomey, Nick Ionidis, Will McCruden and Carl Kittler who have all made major contributions stopping both the run and pass, forcing numerous turnovers and really dictating the flow of the game." On the other side of the ball, the offensive line has been very good over the past few weeks. "It is anchored by tackles Will Kozak and Josh Lyon. Coach Hugh McCruden has put a lot of work into both the offensive and defensive lines and they have rewarded him with great effort on the field," said James. "We have had strong contributions running the ball from six different players, which is unusual at this level. Most teams have two maybe three weapons. I am confident that we can move the ball effectively with all six guys." The passing game is improving on a weekly basis as well. Loosemore is getting most of his receivers involved in the game. "We have a real good opportunity this year to go through the playoffs and be the north representative in the provincial final."

Gregorwich named Camrose County reeve By Murray Green The reeve position at Camrose County won't be changing hands anytime soon. Councillors didn't hesitate for a second when nominating Don Gregorwich to lead the county for another year. Reeve Don Gregorwich will head the council again after being appointed at the annual organizational meeting on Oct. 23. The meeting was held at the Rosalind School during Municipal Awareness Week. Rosalind School students shadowed the councillors and reeve learning about municipal government and the difference between the various levels of government. Councillors also voted for Trevor Miller to serve as deputy reeve for the next six months. Rob Bjorge will assume the position for six months following Trevor. Round Hill - Kingman area councillor Vern Peterson was named the Agricultural Services Board chair again. Other appointments were named in one motion. The county appointed signing officers and declared that the councillors meet every second and fourth Tuesday of every month. County council agreed to set the mileage rate at 50 cents a kilometre. The last item of business was to form an independent committee to discuss weed control projects and complaints. Steve, assistant administrator Al Radke and public works manager Graham Backus were nominated for the committee and the motion was passed. County administrator Steve Gerlitz explained to the students how the council operates. "We have a lot of machinery like graders, backhoes and tractors. Our total budget for this year is $24,168,163 and there are about 7,700 people living within the county. We just celebrated our 50th anniversary, but our real anniversary is on Jan. 1, 2013. We have 2,600 kilometres of road we look after. It is like going to Winnipeg and back; that is quite a bit of road," explained Steve. "In the budget of $24 million, 38 per cent of it goes to transportation to build and fix roads." Steve also told the students about the heating project at the county office. "We planted willow trees near Ohaton two years ago and they were a foot high. We have about 19,000 trees. Now the trees are 10 feet high. In November, we are going to cut some down and bring them to our boiler to burn for heat. We fill the boiler twice a year. It is a long-term sustainable method of supplying heat." The administrator pointed out that water issues, protective services and planning are also a big part of the county.

Berg looking for home for unwanted kittens By Dan Jensen

Michelle Berg has no shortage of kittens to give away. Berg is looking for caring adoptive families after having 24 kittens dropped off on the laneway of her Daysland area acreage Oct. 18. "I love cats and I would keep them but we already have quite a few and it takes money to feed them," said Berg. "We have them in our basement right now." While she has managed to find homes for 13 of the kittens (as of last Friday), Berg admits it hasn't been easy. The common message she has received from the Donalda Rescue Society, Dr. Bibby in Camrose and even the S.P.C.A. is "We don't have any more room." "Dr. Bibby in Camrose was telling me that this has been a bad year for abandoned kittens," said Berg. "He said he was already caring for a bunch of kittens that had been abandoned in a school yard." The rescue society informed her that it already had 25 adults and eight kittens. Lois Meadors, who operates Cadillac Cat Sanctuary and is helping Berg find new homes for the kittens by putting up posters, said the case of abandonment is the worst she has ever seen. "I have seen six kittens dropped off at a time but never 24." Berg feels it is horrible that someone would leave unwanted kittens on someone else. "They must have known I had a soft spot for cats because we have nine of them who live outside. It was apparent that the person had cared for them because the box they (the kittens) were in had a dish of water and some food. "I would imagine they just couldn't do it any more." Berg estimates the kittens have come from at least three different litters. "There are long haired ones as well as short haired ones," she said. Berg feels the problems of unwanted kittens could be solved if people spent the $100 to get their cats fixed. Anyone who wants one or more of the kittens can call Berg at 1-403-783-9996.

There’s a lot to celebrate in Battle River School Division Battle River School Division is all about learning and teaching. And there’s a lot of both going on in the classrooms and communities we serve. Every day, there are students in our school division who reach milestones of success. Sometimes those milestones are academic, sometimes they are related to sports or building a positive relationship with another person. Sometimes it simply means that a student who was struggling yesterday has mastered a new skill today. It’s the role of the school division to assist children in developing the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to be productive and caring members of society. That means having qualified teachers in classrooms. It also means ensuring teachers make students aware of what’s expected of them. High expectations help students to succeed as they strive to meet – or even exceed – those expectations. It is also the division’s role to provide instruction in environments where children feel safe, cared for and like they belong; where children feel free to try new things and learn from their mistakes. It also means offering a range of opportunities, techniques and technologies that help students learn in whatever way works best for them. Certainly our school division has faced challenges. We live in an area that has fewer people than it used to, and our school populations are going down. We have 6,300 students spread over 6,700 square kilometres and busses that travel 14,000 km a day to get everyone to school and back. We have some small schools and some challenges to ensure all students get the learning opportunities they deserve. Despite those challenges, there’s a lot to celebrate in Battle River School Division. Learning includes finding ways to bring history to life in the classroom.

Did you know that in the 2011-12 school year… • BRSD won a Premier’s Award of Excellence for its involvement in the 1-1 Laptop Project, a three-year pilot project which brought laptops into the hands of local high school students. • Our school division was one of only 12 in Alberta to be named as a “change agent” by Alberta Education – a school division considered to be leading the way toward ensuring schools are welcoming and inclusive of all students. • All Grade 1 and 2 teachers received new resources and built additional skills to help ensure BRSD’s youngest learners gain strong literacy skills. • Battle River School Division’s high school completion rate was 3% higher than the provincial average. We love to hear from our students and invite their input regularly.

Every Student. Every Day. A Success.

The “Everyday 4” Battle River School Division has four priorities. They were developed several years ago, based on input from students, parents and staff members about what they believed to be important aspects of preparing a child for the future. When they were new, we called these priorities the “Big 4”. Now, we refer to them as the “Everyday 4” because they provide the foundation for all that we do, every day …

Students and staff “stood up” on Pink Shirt Day, to join others across Canada in sending a message against bullying.

Welcoming and Caring Schools 21st Century Learning Literacy Assessment

1 Welcoming and Caring Schools

Students and staff throughout Battle River School Division are learning more about how to be welcoming and caring with each other; how to treat people with respect and dignity; and how to take good care of themselves, through a variety of programs and initiatives. Each school has prepared a Culture of Success document, which talks about the ways in which the school encourages positive actions and relationships amongst students and staff. Caring for each other is one way in which we try to address issues such as bullying.

Did you ever wonder why BRSD emphasizes healthy lifestyles? Staff try to ensure that every child feels connected to an adult in their school.

According to the Alberta government, • About 1 million Albertans are obese; and • Nearly 1 in 5 people will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. We know that there is a strong connection between feeling healthy and a child’s ability to learn, so by encouraging healthy lifestyles we believe we also encourage learning. By emphasizing healthy eating, daily physical activity and emotional well-being, we believe today’s children are more likely to become tomorrow’s healthy adults.

2 21st Century Learning

People think “21st century learning” means technology. And it does.

BRSD welcomed a Chinese teacher on a one-year exchange, who is visiting schools throughout the division to share information on her country and her culture. We also have more than 30 students from other countries attending school in our division.

But it also means keeping up with all the new and different learning opportunities that are available for students. It’s more than handing over a laptop to a student – it’s adapting lesson plans to incorporate online research and webinars and making connections with classrooms and people from other parts of the world. It’s thinking outside the box to provide the tools that will help a student learn and show what they know – whether it’s through graphic novels or a written essay or a video posted online. It’s also broadening our thinking to move away from labeling some students as having “special needs” and designing learning environments that are inclusive of all students and recognizing that every child has unique learning needs. Students have told us that they learn best when their classroom is engaging, interesting and the work is meaningful to them. We’re trying our best to keep up!

Check us out on Youtube Students and staff from BRSD were part of a series of videos produced by Alberta Education on the topic of diversity and inclusion in Alberta schools. We’re honoured to have been asked to participate!

Several BRSD students and staff are part of an online series of videos talking about diversity and inclusion in Alberta schools.

3 Literacy

In order to learn, children need to be able to read, write and comprehend – they need to be literate. Studies show that basic literacy skills are learned in a child’s first years of schooling and, after about Grade 3, children then use those literacy skills to learn everything else.

Did you ever wonder why we focus on literacy? The Alberta government estimates that in 2006, 40% of Albertans had a literacy level below what is needed to cope with the demands of everyday work and life. By emphasizing early literacy and putting resources into ensuring students get the best literacy foundation we can give them, we hope to be part of turning this statistic around. During the 2011-2012 school year, BRSD made literacy a priority and provided both resources and training to Grade 1 and 2 teachers in order to enhance the reading experience of our youngest students.

BRSD offers a summer reading program to some students who need more time to master their reading skills. Last year, the summer group got to meet members of the Snowbirds flying squadron and read a flight manual together.

In the 2012-2013 year, that emphasis is being extended to include Grade 3.

4 Assessment

For nearly a decade, Battle River School Division (and other Alberta school divisions) has been enhancing the ways in which teachers assess student learning. The focus of this improvement has been to make students more aware of what it is they are expected to learn (outcomes). Along with clarification of learning targets, teachers are expanding the ways in which they assess where students are at in relation to those targets. Students are invited to demonstrate their learning in many ways. If students have not yet mastered a skill, teachers provide quality feedback that helps students understand why they haven’t done well and what they can to do to improve. Walk into a BRSD classroom and you’ll see children engaged in many different ways of mastering new skills and showing what they know. You’ll see teachers encouraging children to demonstrate their learning in the way that works best for them. You’ll see creativity and collaboration and imagination. You’ll see students practicing and students taking tests to demonstrate what they know. What you might not see is a group of children sitting quietly doing worksheets or copying information off the board. It’s all part of a belief that today’s students need to be prepared for tomorrow’s world – not the world of yesterday. We know we’re getting our students ready to enter the “real” world. As BRSD moves further into the revised assessment practices, new report cards have also come into the mix. In the 2011-2012 school year, students, parents and community members asked lots of questions about the new reporting system. Information sessions were held in a variety of communities and will continue to be held in the year ahead.

In 2011-2012, class size guidelines in Alberta were:

Class size averages in BRSD were:

• • • •

K to 3 = 17 4 to 6 = 23 7 to 9 = 25 10 to 12 = 27

Experiments and hands-on learning are the best ways for some students to learn and also to show what they know.

K to 3 = 18 4 to 6 = 22.2 7 to 9 = 22.9 10 to 12 = 19 A group of high school students demonstrated what they’ve learned about social advocacy by marching to BRSD’s division office and expressing their concerns.

Where did the money go in 2011-2012? Battle River School Division works hard to ensure resources are allocated to serving students.

6.88% Instruction – 75.85% 13.86% Administration – 3.41%

3.41%

That’s why more than 75% of the $81 million in budgeted expenditures in the 2011-2012 school year went directly to student instruction and a further 6.88% was allocated to student transportation.

A few facts that matter to Battle R iver School Division:

Operations and Maintenance – 13.86%

75.85%

Transporation – 6.88%

% OF BUDGET

Operating and maintaining school facilities, where students and staff spend their days, took another 14% of the expenditures.

Instruction

Battle River School Division used only 3.41% of its funds for administration.

TOTAL

The population of Alberta has gone up 10.8% in five years. But 20 years ago, 63% of Albertans lived in cities and now that number is 83%. Rural populations are declining like Flagstaff County, for example, where the population went down 7.5% in five years.

Looking ahead to the next year, the School Division will be faced with cost increases, funding decreases in all areas and a significant decline in student enrollment. The focus will continue to be on directing funds to the students and ensuring service remains at the highest possible level.
