Ibsen's Children

will open on November 17 at the Theatre Centre on the Augustana campus. The play, by Norwegian playwrights Catrine Telle and Ivar Tindberg, is newly translated by Augustana English professor, John Johansen and is directed by Paul "Sparky" Johnson. The play takes six children from four of Henrik Ibsen's plays and explores their hopes and fears in the midst of an adult world that has left them by the wayside.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER November 15, 2011

City council reviews 2012 police budget We will By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Police Commission presented what it described as a "bare minimum" budget for policing to Camrose City council Nov. 7. "We're making the most efficient use of the funds being provided to us," said Police Commission chair Lowell Knutson. The Commission is proposing 2012 revenues and expenditures of $1,685,000 and $5,427,180 respectfully, resulting in a net policing cost to the City of Camrose of $3,742,180. "We anticipate the enhanced traffic safety initiative will have an impact on our revenues," said Knutson. Salaries Chief of Police Darrell Kambeitz told council that 85 per cent of the Camrose Police Service budget is salaries. He also noted that the Camrose Police Service ratio of police officers to citizens works out to be 168 per 100,000. By comparison, the national average is 203 officers per 100,000 population, and the provincial average is 177 per 100,000 population. "We operate 24/7 with 31 authorized police officers and 15 support staff," said Kambeitz. "If we were a 9 to 5 business we could operate with 10 police officers and six support staff." Statistics for 2010 show that the Camrose Police Service responded to 17,382 calls for service, undertook 1,793 criminal investigations, investigate 757 traffic collisions, and handled 7,115 E911 calls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an average of 20 calls per day. The number of calls for information or assistance totalled 200,000. Chief Kambeitz said he is proud of the work done by the members of the Camrose Police Service. "As a result of stellar police work we had a 17 per cent decrease in crimes against persons and an 18 per cent increase in property crimes. So far this year we have seized over $300,000 worth of cocaine." Real time identification Camrose Police Service's capital budget for 2012 includes $45,000 for the third phase of a communications upgrade and the implementation of phase 1 o f a r eal time identification system designed to improve the search, classification, and maintenance of fingerprints in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national fingerprint and criminal record repository. "We will be able to search fingerprints in a m atter of hours rather than days," explained Kambeitz. Challenges Major challenges facing the Camrose Police Service, said Kambeitz, include investigations that are more intensive than ever before, an increasing number of events at which police are asked to have a presence, and the recruitment, selection and training of officers. "The era of having an employee stay with you for 25 to 30 years doesn't exist anymore in this day and age, and as a result we have to spend significant hours in training." Continued on page 10

Government studies New Norway dissolution By Murray Green

Municipal Affairs sustainability advisor Linda Reynolds updated Camrose County council on the Village of New Norway dissolution study at the county's regular meeting on Nov. 8. A petition from the electors of the Village of New Norway asked for a dissolution study to consider the financial, administrative and service impacts of the village becoming a hamlet within the Camrose County last August. The minister of municipal affairs at the time was Hector Goudreau. Battle River - Wainwright MLA Doug Griffiths has since taken over the portfolio. MLA Goudreau informed council in a l etter, "A public meeting will be held in the village to answer questions about the report and to gather feedback. A v ote on the question of dissolution will then be conducted for the residents." Linda said she wants to complete her study before the end of the year and then put it in writing. "I would like to present the study to the minister in late January or early February. After the report has been distributed, the minister will hold a m eeting in the village.

The purpose of the meeting is to respond to questions and gather written feedback. Then he will proceed for a vote in February and decide in March about New Norway's future." The provincial cabinet will decide if the dissolution goes ahead. Council accepted the presentation as information, but had some questions on what Camrose County would be on the hook for if the village dissolves. Reeve Don Gregorwich had previously asked that municipal affairs be contacted and obtain the procedures and time lines for what is going to transpire. Linda first visited New Norway on Oct. 25 and returned on Nov. 8 t o discuss matters with both New Norway and Camrose County. A dissolution booklet was sent to the village and contains a l ist of all services/ utilities and programs that municipalities offer. New Norway residents will then respond to which ones they do have, how they are funded, how they are staffed and comment on any other services or programs not mentioned. Then a m unicipal affairs representative spends a day with the village CAO, going over

the responses to the questions and verifying the answers and the representative takes it back and compiles and records. The booklet is then returned for verification and correctness. Then it is sent to the County for comments if the services identified by the Village are ones that the County offers. "The County then decides, which services to offer and at what cost," said Linda. "It will be up to the County on how the Village will be funded and staffed." Camrose County gets about one month to complete and return, responses are then incorporated into the Dissolution Study Report. Once completed, the report is sent to each municipality to review with possibly a motion of council accepting accuracy and correctness. It is then distributed to the residents so t hey can prepare for a vote. This will tentatively happen in January 2012. Two weeks later, a public meeting is held by municipal affairs to go through the report and answer any questions. About a w eek later, the call to vote on dissolution is put before the village electorate. "Rural residents are not

allowed to vote on the question. However, the meeting is o pen to the public. All comments are recorded and assembled in the report and we encourage everyone to participate," said Linda. "A rural resident may own a property or business in the village, but is not allowed to vote. However, his comments may be crucial to his business or going concern. This is how the County or its residents can make their statements and feelings heard regarding the dissolution." Usually about 18 to 20 per cent of the voters decide the fate of the whole community. "People need to be informed on what services they would like and at what cost," said Linda. Camrose County can also request a meeting with the minister, but that meeting has nothing to do with the formal study or report. "The County can expect upwards of $50,000 for transitional funding should the dissolution succeed and will also receive the next five years of the village's MSI funding. The money goes into the county's general account and does not have to be spent in New Norway," she added. "This study is not an audit."

Councillor Brian Austrom was concerned about the low amount. "I don't believe $50,000 will cover the costs. We would like to meet with the minister and see if we can increase that amount," said Brian. "I hope the minister would be in a position to increase the amount to be in line with other dissolutions." If the Village dissolves, the residents are not given any concessions for capitals, taxes or debt and they are still due. "County council could also be faced with a sh ortfall and can impose a tax solely on the citizens of the former village to cover any debt," explained Linda. Camrose County can assess a full cost recovery in other parts of the county to provide services and utilities. March is the tentative date to have the final report and outcome of the vote delivered to the minister for his deliberation and final decision. "Is there any way we can know the amount of finances needed before we prepare next year's budget," asked Reeve Don. Linda indicated she won't know until the study is c omplete.

Sod turned for new Bethany Group facility By Murray Green

Construction will soon begin on the Bethany Group's new supportive living building in Bashaw. Two years ago the minister of seniors and community supports in Alberta announced grant funding approval for $4,499,951 for a 63-unit supportive living for Bashaw.

Lacombe-Ponoka MLA Ray Prins and Mayor Bob Cammidge led a pa rade of dignitaries in turning the first sod for the construction at 5502-56 Avenue. The new building will replace the 37-unit Bashaw Valley Lodge that was built in 1966. The Bashaw Meadows complex will have larger rooms including

six, one-bedroom suites targeted for couples. The rooms will have private bathing facilities and capacity for more supportive living space. Although the new facility will be owned and financed by The Bethany Group, the project came about with the help from Alberta Seniors, Camrose and Area Lodge Authority, Alberta

Health Services and the Town of Bashaw. The Town provided a 2 .17 acre parcel of land. The building will be a two-storey complex with a great common space for dining, activities and socialization. The Bethany Group operates 15 affordable housing or seniors' housing units.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Spend wisely; avoid unmanageable debt! Time spins around and already there are plenty of reminders that Christmas is less than six weeks away. Christmas holidays mean different things to different people. Some of us greet with the words “Merry Christmas” in deference to the Christ(ian) component of Christmas; others of different faiths wish “Happy Holidays” as an alternative. Whatever is our tradition, in our country, as well as in many other countries, billions of dollars will be spent on gift purchases and a variety of feasting and entertainment in the days preceding December 25. Indeed, some business enterprises depend on pre-Christmas sales for survival. Increased consumption of goods and services has both good and bad consequences: increased spending boosts the financial health of sales and service providers and increases the number of employment opportunities; on the other hand, if personal spending is excessive, it too often results in debt that is b eyond one’s capacity to handle and causes families to struggle and suffer from financial stress and harassment from debtors. What is crucial economically is striking the balance that will keep commerce alive and providing jobs while, at the same time, keeping personal debt manageable. It is possible to do but it requires self-discipline. In preparation for Christmas shopping, it is helpful and wise to start with a g ift list that includes a ma ximum estimated cost of each. When that list is complete, determine whether or not you can manage the cost. If not, then adjust the list; no matter how hard that might be, do it; future consequences are far more favourable than not doing it. Take the list with you when you shop; keep checking it to make sure you are on track. Use helpful money-saving tricks, too. For example, eliminate the cost of gift wrap by buying gift certificates. Use greeting cards made by grandchildren; they are prized more than expensive store-bought cards and, as proof, will probably be stuck to grandma’s and grandpa’s fridge door. Use a gift itself, like a towel, to wrap a hamper. We live in uncertain times, nevertheless almost everyone in our country lives in comparative comfort with our needs being met and many of our wants as well. In the spirit of giving, let us share with less fortunate people. May the top of our gift list have the name or names of charities that are mindful of the needs of others. Yes, I did mean ‘top’ of the list; too often we fail to leave room for charitable giving at the bottom where the need is usually the greatest. Whether Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays suits our greeting tradition, let us spend wisely and moderately – and do the greatest good with limited resources! Avoid unmanageable debt in these uncertain times!

I'm excited to tell you about the initiative a downtown business has taken to make their store wheelchair accessible. Given that almost half of the downtown businesses on our Main Street are not wheelchair accessible, this store's resourcefulness is especially significant. I received a call from Audrey Pfannmuller, owner of Candler Art Gallery, to ask if I ( since I use a p ower wheelchair) could come to the store to try out a new ramp that she had purchased to provide people with mobility difficulties easier access to the main floor of the Gallery.

Candler Art Gallery has a big step at the front of the store on 50th Street, but there is a ground-level door on the north side of the building. W hen you enter the store at that level, there is still a small step to negotiate, so Audrey decided to purchase a portable ramp that now makes it possible to access the main floor. I always stop in front of the Candler Art Gallery windows to admire paintings and art displays, so I w as delighted to be able to use the new ramp and spend an hour looking at paintings, posters and prints, reading art books and admiring jewelry made by Canadian artisans. Audrey had seen a S ears flyer advertising different sizes of ramps. She purchased a $400 four-foot ramp that folds in half, comes with its own carrying case and can be easily stored in a corner. I left Candler Art Gallery that day (after spending $35 on books and art cards, knowing that I would be back again soon, especially to do some Christmas shopping. When I want to come back to the Gallery, all I have to

do is c all the staff and let them know that I'm coming! I sincerely hope that others will take Audrey's lead and rethink the accessibility of their own stores/businesses. You might have to be creative. Imagine if two or three stores, especially those beside each other or on the same block, shared the cost of a ramp similar to the one now at Candler. They would all be able to make their stores accessible whenever they needed to. I can't speak for others, but I know they would certainly have my business! Co me to think of it, even if I wasn't handicapped, I would prefer to spend my money at a business that makes an effort to be open to all members of our community! I would like to commend Audrey and the staff at Candler Art Gallery for recognizing that the issue for some of their clientele is n ot just about accessibility; it's also about inclusiveness. Thank you for finding a way for me to visit your store and for making me feel so welcome. Deborah Morgan, Camrose

Keep the spirit of OWS alive Second Thought

The waves of protest have reached our own shores. North Americans have been both encouraged and challenged by overseas grassroots protests against oppressive political regimes and social structures. The tipping point has now occurred here as a growing number of journalists, academics, social activists and concerned citizens publicly and vigorously proclaim what has been articulated for so long: the accumulation of wealth by the few has got to stop. Despite its detractors and the forceful opposition against it, the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement reminds us of the fact that a very few corporate and political elite control our resources and wealth while, at the same time, increasing numbers of people and the global environment suffer profoundly. The centres of power are still controlled by the few, but the scale is n ow such that this reality can no longer be ignored. OWS, a baffling collective of individuals with various concerns and commitments, has expanded to a “ global Occupy movement” that includes a site of protest not far from us in Edmonton. It resolutely repeats its unifying message. All living creatures and organisms, OWS declares, must come before profit right from the outset, when businesses are conceptualized and then brought into being. Social obligations necessitate, at the minimum, paying workers living wages, creating ethical workplace environments, and leaving tiny ecological footprints. Global citizenship

Dorothy Woodman, English Augustana Faculty, University of Alberta

requires contributing through taxes to hospitals, roads, schools, and community programs. We cannot say that we are unaware of these abuses. How many documentaries on sweatshops, outsourcing, child labour, and environmental devastations do we need? H ow many news broadcasts must cover the working poor, unequal access to necessary resources, inadequate schooling, inadequate minimum wage levels, destroyed habitats, endangered species, cancer rates, gender and racial inequities? OWS issues the challenge: it’s time to change the complex structures that require rampant and never-ending consumption, cheap labor, over production, discrimination based on gender and race, and devastated landscapes. So, I s uggest that we sur-

prise those who protest the OWS movement and who misunderstand its message. As dramatically and simply as the protestors, let’s do what we can, as we can, where we can. Voting is free –- let’s end our apathy and demand responsible, ethical representation. Let’s celebrate cars and stoves that last, and stop replacing toasters simply because they are the wrong style or colour and other technologies when they lack the latest gimmicks. Let’s walk and bike, and discover our bodies’ renewable resources. Let’s re-discover the simple pleasures of home cooking and participating in community events. Let’s choose ethical products and give up the rest as and when we can. Let’s support local economies first and boycott corporations committing violence against peoples and eco-systems. Let’s show unresponsive governments and bemused CEOs that we, the people, will bring about change. The real power of OWS and the “global Occupy movement,” I b elieve, results from their unified, steadfast NO to systemic injustice. This proclamation attracts the attention of television broadcasts and the Internet; it challenges the commitments of local governments and large banks. It occupies us who read a nd talk about it. Now, we must speak and act. Here in Camrose, as elsewhere, let’s turn from despondency and apathy to peaceful and democratic revolution. Let’s keep the spirit of OWS alive and SOW seeds of change.

Councillor Gerry Galenza commended the police service for making Camrose a safe and secure community, but expressed frustration that the per capita grant request that the AUMA presented to the provincial government was essentially ignored. Galenza suggested a permitting system for personal and business alarm systems may be one way to increase police service revenues. "The police have to respond to these alarms, and this is an additional service," he said. Councillor Howard said he favours the idea of real time identification. According to him there have been times that pastors have lost job opportunities because of the time it has taken to obtain a fingerprint check. Councillor Max Lindstrand commended the Camrose Police Service and Police Commission for presenting a budget that is closer this year than others to the rate of inflation.

CCHS adding four more to Wall of Fame By Dan Jensen

Camrose Composite High School will present Distinguished Alumnus Awards to Douglas Bieber and Dr. Sandy Dong, a Distinguished Alumna Award to Greta Reiten and a Distinguished Faculty Award to Cliff Hoyme at its annual Wall of Fame ceremony Nov. 18. Douglas Bieber

Douglas Bieber spent 40 years with the Public Service of Canada, starting with Canada Customs and Excise before moving on to other positions, including one with Transport Canada, where he worked with those planning the launch of VIA Rail Canada. In 1985 he joined the Foreign Service of Canada. On his first assignment to Dallas, Texas, he helped Canadians promote their products. Immediately afterwards he and his family moved to London, England, where, as transportation counsellor he served as Canada's representation to the UN International Maritime Organization and as delegate at the conference that established an international protocol on the handling of oil spills. In 1996 he accepted a position as senior trade commissioner and deputy consul general at the Canadian Consulate General in Chicago. Four years later he accepted a si milar position at the Consulate General in Buffalo, New York. His work in the Upper Midwest and in the Niagara region helped expedite cross border traffic. Bieber then returned to Ottawa, and headed a task force that put in place ten new Canadian commercial offices across the

"I believe that city halls should have first floor retail," said Brooks, one of North America's foremost experts on marketing, branding and destination development. "I do not think that you should have any ground floor offices in any downtown. It should always be retail. We have actually worked in city halls where the ground floor was a ga llery with local artisans. Once you are in there go upstairs and the city hall is on the second, third and fourth floors. "You want to have room for the critical mass on the ground floor." Brooks noted while there is room for improvement in terms of signage telling people where they can park and small gathering areas, the Camrose downtown has a lot of potential. "I think main street Camrose could be just absolutely incredible. I love the new bricks, the wide sidewalks, and all the street trees. You have beautiful facades on a lot of your buildings and the potential for your downtown is really unreal.

Roger Brooks

"I would love to see it in the summer when it is all beautified." Brooks said property owners in downtown areas need to have a plan and figure out what they want to be known for. "They need to decide what they want to be and then make themselves look like that," he said. "There needs to be an action plan, not just goals and objectives." Brooks noted as well that downtown property owners need to come up with a certain brand focus like St. A lbert has done with its Cultivate Life message, and develop clusters of businesses. Using the 10 plus 10 plus 10 rule, he said that in three lineal blocks there should be ten businesses that sell food, ten businesses that are destination retail shops (not chain stores, pharmacies or banks), and ten businesses that are open after six o'clock. "It is the rule of critical mass,"

he said. "Auto malls have found that they do seven times the business by clustering together." Brooks' advice to municipalities was to solve the parking dilemma by getting rid of parking time limits that punish customers and by telling people where the public parking lots are located, to put public washrooms in more accessible areas, to develop public gathering places and narrow tree-lined streets, and to create community gateways as a way of making a good first impression. "You don't have to put the public gateways at the city limits," he said. "Put them in places where they make the best first impression. One of the things Brooks said that businesses can do to help themselves is to use perpendicular blade signs that are no higher than 9 f eet from the ground, no lower than seven feet and no wider than 42 inches. "Every successful town uses blade signs," he said. "They have a good value and they say a lot about you." Brooks also encouraged businesses to develop outdoor dining areas during the summer months, install benches for resting and invest heavily in colour. "Seventy per cent of first time sales come from curb appeal," he said. "We judge a book by its cover." Continued on page 19

Council gets first look at new operating budget By Dan Jensen

A three-year preliminary operating budget with proposed tax levy increases of 4.06 per cent in 2012, 3.98 per cent in 2013 and 4.09 per cent in 2014 was presented to Camrose City council Nov. 7. The proposed tax levies are $20,045,500 for 2012, $21,233,303 for 2013 and $22,570,350 for 2014. "Our mission was to present reasonable increases," said City manager Damian Herle. "There's been an awful lot of belt tightening. "We know already there will be adjustments made to the forecast budgets." The budget includes debenture costs of $305,400 in 2013 for the performing arts centre, and an operating grant to the centre in the amount of $250,000 in 2014. The transfer to capital to provide funding for capital projects is $1,807,000 in 2012 – a n increase of

$37,000 or 2.1 per cent from the 2011 budget. Revenues City administration has reviewed all fees and charges and applied increases when deemed necessary in order to help fund services. "User affordability is t he main driver in determining rates and any increases included in this budget reflect this," stated Herle. In some cases, revenues such as development and permit fees have been reduced. The 2012 budget for total licences and permits reflects a decrease of $136,800 from the 2011 budget. Council has already approved increases to the electrical and natural gas franchise fee rates, which will result in additional revenue of $51,000 in 2012. The operating grants from the provincial and federal governments remain at 2011 levels. Sixty-five per cent of City of Camrose revenues come from taxation, 14 per cent from sales

and rentals, 10 per cent from reserves and other funds, five per cent from licences, permits and fines, five per cent from government grants and transfers, and one per cent from returns on investments. Expenses The 2012 budget includes a seven per cent increase in utility costs and a t hree per cent increase in natural gas costs. The total increase to utilities is $108,435 – a 6. 3 per cent increase from 2011. The budgeted salaries, wages and benefits for 2012 is $880,622 higher than 2011. "Requests for new resources and staff are supported by administration and will be discussed as part of the department budget presentations, including the results of the review of current staffing allocations," stated Herle. City of Camrose utility funds will continue to be selffunded. A l onger term plan regarding utility rates will be

presented to council to coincide with the five-year capital plan. Salaries and benefits account for 47 per cent of City expenses, followed by contracted services at 11 per cent, transfers at eight per cent, equipment charges at seven per cent and transfer to capital at five per cent. The Community Services department is responsible for 23 per cent of the City expenses, followed by the police service and general government, each of which come in at 17 per cent. Assessment growth New assessment growth has been utilized to offset pressure on the mill rate. New growth estimates are $380,000 for 2012, $208,000 for 2013 and $280,000 for 2014. Councillor Gerry Galenza questioned whether the growth was being underestimated. "We are generally over $300,000 or $350,000, and I am confident that we are over the slow period," he said. Overall funding for com-

munity organizations will remain at the 2011 levels, with the exception of two approved one-time funding requests in 2011. Service levels Herle noted that service levels have been maintained in the 2012 to 2013 budgets, and that any further reductions to the budget will result in reduced service levels. Council directed administration to prepare the 2012 to 2014 operating budget with the assumptions that new assessment growth would be used to offset pressure on the mill rate, that provincial and federal funding would remain the same as 2011, that utilities are self funded through user fees and utility rates, and that current service levels are maintained. The City of Camrose is estimating that it will have a total debt of $22,066,000 in 2012, well below the debt limit of $61,884,000.

edge is not necessary to fill any of these positions. The main requirements are organizational skills, ability to work with others and enthusiasm for the cause. The Festival Association would like to create an internet presence. This is e ntirely dependent on finding a skilled webmaster to develop and maintain a festival website on a v olunteer basis or for a reasonable fee. If this is your forte, please contact a member of the festival committee. In addition, we are always looking for volunteers to do two or three hours of clerical work on an occasional basis, and during festival week there about 100 single session volunteer positions to fill. Camrose and District Music Festival is a m ember of the Alberta Music Festival Association and adheres to the provincial mission statement: "To promote and develop music and speech arts in Alberta through performance

and workshop style adjudication.” In Camrose there is also a dance component to the festival. The Camrose festival uses the provincial Syllabus which can be found at www. albertamusicfestival.org. If internet access is a p roblem, all or parts of the syllabus can be printed at The UPS Store in Camrose (photocopy fees apply). A list of additional local classes and the dance syllabus are available from the festival secretary. Camrose and District Festival is unique in that it does not have one sponsoring organization, but is dependent on, and grateful for strong financial support from many local businesses, clubs and individuals. New donors are always welcome. To donate, please contact the festival fund-raising chairperson, Melanie Weaver, at 780-672-8338. For information, or to volunteer, please contact festival secretary Cathy Kennedy at 780-679-0122.

Brooks on downtown Continued from page 16

To get more shoppers coming downtown, Brooks said businesses can bring in entertainers or crafters at different times of the year. He said a big reason some young people leave a community for larger places is the lack of places to go besides home or work just to hang out. One of Brooks' final tips to downtown businesses was to give their shopping district a name with which visitors and shoppers can identify. Brooks explained that none of the 400 communities he has visited across North America is doing everything right in terms of trying to attract visitors and shoppers. "Go to Banff. I call it the family conundrum," he said. "It is all full of chain stores when there used to be an arts community." The presentation was sponsored by City Center Camrose and the City of Camrose as a way of stimulating discussion on future downtown development.

Junior Kodiaks slump in early November By Murray Green

After three straight losses, you have to feel sorry for the next team on the Camrose Kodiaks' schedule. A f our-game road trip might be the cure. The hibernating bears are getting more growly with each loss, and the next squad that wakes the Kodiaks' den could feel the full brunt of the frustration that continues to mount. "We have to do extra workouts because of the losses," said captain Rylan Wiest. "We've made mistakes the last two weeks and I don't know if the players were getting too comfortable, but some of us are lazy on plays. I d on't think we have played up to our best. It is not that we have been outplayed, we have been outworked. That is something we are working on." The Camrose Kodiaks were doubled by the Brooks Bandits 4-2 on Sunday, November 6. Camrose fought back to tie the game late in the second, only to have the Bandits steal the momentum right back in the third period. "We need to get our work ethic up every night. That is the most important thing right now," said Rylan. "I came back after a suspension to play Brooks. It is tough to watch a game like that (Sherwood Park comeback). Brooks is always an easy game to get up for and I wanted to work my hardest. I wanted to set the tone for us." Rylan and Ty Clay, two of the hardest working Kodiaks in the game, scored for Camrose. The captain wanted to lead by example. "I was picked as captain because of the work I have done. I didn't change my game because I also want to work hard. I want to set a good example, but we have

Camrose Kodiaks players Kieran O-Neil, left, and Connor Mailey look for a rebound against the Brooks Bandits. Close losses continue to haunt the Kodiaks as they suffer through a three-game losing streak. Camrose is using hard work to get out of their slump.

several good leaders here and they help as well. We have a lot of guys people can learn from." The Camrose Kodiaks were crushed by the Sherwood Park Crusaders, 6-2, on Saturday, November 5. Landon Kadatz and Nolan Marshall supplied the offence in the contest. "Even though we lost, it got me excited for the season. I d idn't like the way we played, but with some

fine tuning and hard work, we should be good down the road," said Rylan. "Every game in the south is an important game. It is up to the leaders to set the tone and make sure everyone is ready to go." The Kodiaks were edged by the Spruce Grove Saints 3-2 on Thursday, November 3. The Camrose goal scorers were Kier-

an O'Neil and Ryan Huolt. "We are still working on our power play. We need more traffic in front of the net and more shots. We can't get too fancy because the penalty killers against us are working hard as well. We can't get into our minds too much. We just need to fine tune things. When you struggle, you have to

make sure the little things are done right." The Kodiaks host the Fort McMurray Oil Barons on Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. The Brooks Bandits are here on Nov. 20 for a 2 p .m. start. The final home game of the month is o n Nov. 25, when the Grande Prairie Storm make a rare appearance at the Edgeworth Centre.

Hockey Vikings within two points of league leaders By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings hockey team moved a step closer to the top by tying the best team in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. Augustana lost a cl ose 4-2 game to the Mount Royal Cougars in the opening game (the last goal was into an empty net) and fought even harder, with an overtime tie in the rematch against the top team in the league. Daniel Hope and Kenny Bradley scored for the Vikings in the first game. Goalie David Ritz had a tough time with two saves on five shots. Paul Kolida came in relief and stopped all 21 shots he faced. In the second game, Quinn Amiel and Dane Bonish supplied the offence, while Kolida made 23 of 25 saves in the Vikings' net. The Concordia Thunder arrive in Camrose on Nov. 18 for the next home game. Volleyball

Photo by Pro Sports Photography The Augustana Vikings are keeping pace with the top clubs in the league by earning a 2-2 tie against Mount Royal and edging SAIT 3-2 in overtime. Camrose is two points back of the SAIT Trojans.

The Lady Vikings were blanked 25-12, 25-15 and 25-7 in the home opener on Nov. 4 and 25-15, 25-16 and 25-10 by the Mount Royal Cougars in the return match in Calgary on Nov. 5. The men's squad enjoyed more success with a 3 -1 loss in Camrose (25-15, 26-24, 20-25 and 25-23) and stole a h ard-fought

victory in Calgary 3-2 (25-22, 19-25, 20-25, 25-19 and 15-12). Augustana hosts NAIT on Nov. 24. The women's match begins at 6 p.m., with the men to follow at 8 p.m. Basketball

The women's Augustana basketball team swept both games in a weekend series against the Concordia Thunder of Edmonton. In the first 60-55 win, Kari Kubinec led the scoring with 14 points and Monique Jarrett chipped in with 13 points. Augustana stepped up to win 65-46 in the rematch as Kubinec netted 23 points and Kelsey Lund collected 16 points in support. The men's squad dropped both ends of their series. The Thunder won 79-50 and 70-47. David Shantz led the Vikings in scoring with 16 points and Shayn Bruney added 13 in the first contest. No player hit double digits in the second game. The Red Deer Queens and Kings are the next hoop teams to visit Augustana on Nov. 18. The women's game begins at 6 p.m. and the men start at 8 p.m. The teams head to Grande Prairie for two games each on Nov. 18 and 19.

Jack Moser of Killam was acclaimed in Region 11. He will be sitting as a director of the Alberta Canola Producers Commission. The call for nominations for farmers to serve on the board of directors of the ACPC had resulted in three regional directors being re-elected by acclamation for a second term. One region received no nominations prior to the October 31 deadline, so a director will be elected during the commission’s annual general meeting. Besides Jack, Colin Felstad of Dapp was acclaimed in Region 5 and Elaine Bellamy of Rosebud was acclaimed in Region 8. These directors will serve their second, three-year term on the board and directors are eligible to serve two consecutive terms. No nominations were received for Region 2, located in the south Peace, which includes the County of Grande Prairie, the M.D. of Greenview, Birch Hills County, Saddle Hills County and the M.D. of Spirit River. Director nominations for Region 2 w ill be taken from the floor at the ACPC annual general meeting on Tuesday, January 24, in Edmonton, during the FarmTech Conference.

Servers to software, and first rate service.

To manage and control your online identity, remember that all the unsecured information you publish on the Internet is accessible to everyone. If you want to know what kind of information is available about you, the first thing to do is to “Google” your name. If you don’t like what you see and would like to change it, you can try contacting the institution or company which owns the site and ask them to remove your name from their server. This can prove to be time-consuming, however, and many parties will decline to comply. It’s better to be proactive and prevent such quandries: keep your virtual reputation in mind whenever you publish comments, photographs, or blog posts.

These days it’s not just young people who love to browse the Internet. Seniors are beginning to see that there is plenty online for them too! In fact, new studies show that people aged 55 and over are the fastest growing population group to use the Internet. A n ew term has even being coined to describe them: “silver surfers”. More than 47 percent of seniors now use the Internet on a regular basis. They are distinguishable from other Web users by their interest in communicating online. They especially love sending e-mails and appreciate new technologies that enable them to stay in touch. Seventy-one percent of silver surfers value the Internet as a way to follow what is happening around the world, and 12 percent of them enjoy downloading digital photographs. Many use the Web to research genealogical information or to consult historical material. Seniors can expect to see more computer and Internet classes to be offered, tailormade for their interests. Such classes will help them to better understand and master new technologies, and they are also a great way to combat the isolation that often accompanies aging alone.

Cell phone security tips Though as recently as a decade ago they were largely a luxury, cell phones are now the go-to device for men, women and even children. Over that time period, cell phones have evolved from mobile telephones into devices that enable users to send and receive e-mails and text messages, surf the Internet and do a h ost of other things few even dreamed of at their inception. While most would agree the rapid evolution of cell phones has made life more convenient, it has also produced more security risks. The average cell phone is no less likely to be lost than it was 10 years ago, but now a l ost cell phone might contain a h ost of personal information users would prefer not fall into the hands of strangers. In addition, cell phones are now akin to computers, which have long been susceptible to hackers and viruses that put people at greater risk of identity theft. As a precautionary measure, users should consider the following security measures to protect themselves and their phones. * Use the phone's built-in protection. Most telephones can be locked. All it takes is a password. This built-in protection won't keep a p hone from being lost or stolen, but should either of those things occur, the password will be needed to access the personal information stored in the phone. * Protect your computers as well. Some cell phones allow users to download ring tones, music or screen savers from their computer to their phone. While this is an attractive accessory to many users, it can also be risky. Should a computer have a v irus, it's quite possible that the virus software on the computer could be transferred to the phone. To avoid this, stay on top of your computer's anti-virus software, updating it whenever possible and routinely scan your computer for viruses before connecting your phone. * Don't break the law. Illegal downloading from peer-topeer Web sites is s till a p roblem, and many users fail to recognize just how problematic it can be. To many, the likelihood of being caught is so slim that it's worth breaking the law. However, such downloads aren't always what they seem, and users could be unknowingly aiding cyber criminals by downloading materials from illegal peer-to-peer sharing Web sites. It's easy to avoid such a f ate by only downloading from legal Web sites, which aren't likely to boast unlimited free downloads. In fact, downloading from legal sites will almost always cost money,

Storing personal information on a cell phone is very risky. For example, if a phone is lost or stolen, that personal information is then accessible

to whomever finds or steals the phone. But another danger lurks even if your phone is always within arm's reach. Some cell phone providers store a phone's information on a main server. This includes any files on the phone, any pictures, voice mails, or additional personal information stored on the phone.

These cell phone providers have had their servers hacked in the past, which has led to stolen files. While individual users can't keep hackers from hacking into a provider's server, they can make it less appealing to do so if they don't store any personal information on their phones. * Don't stay "logged in"

Camrose County sets new campground fees By Murray Green

The cost of camping at Pelican Point has just gone up. Camrose County approved an increase in camping fees for next season at a c ouncil meeting at the Round Hill School on Oct. 25. Councillor Rob Bjorge also presented some changes at Pelican Point to prepare for the summer season. Rob met with the Pelican Point park management committee to discuss the details. "The committee would like to set the new rates at $25 for non-power sites and $31 for powered sites," said Rob. The motion was carried. "We have also amended

some rules on the camping policy about reservations, late arrivals and a few others," added Rob. Councillor Vern Peterson questioned the number of rule changes. "We are introducing a policy that is more in line with provincial guidelines," said Rob. "This would be one of the first non-provincial campgrounds to adopt a policy similar to provincial standards. People will be able to use the Internet to book sites, rather than waiting in line to get their sites." The motion was carried. Rob suggested that council advertise for a c ampground

manager for a t hree-year term. Reeve Don Gregorwich explained to the students that the manager oversees the campground and collects the fees. The motion was passed. A motion passed that the Pelican Point park management committee recommend that a Pelican Point parking assessment and campground redevelopment study be adopted as part of the 2012 budget. The committee also recommended to council that the 2012 operating budget be accepted and approved as presented. Both motions were passed. Some of the campground rules include that reservations

can be made up to 90 days in advance of your arrival date. Changes cannot be made to a reservation until the departure date falls within 90 days of the previously booked date. The maximum stay is 1 6 consecutive nights. A m aximum of four campsites can be reserved in one transaction. There is a $1 2 non-refundable reservation fee per reserved campsite. All camping fees must be pre-paid with a credit card. No more than six people may occupy a c ampsite, unless they are all members of a single family unit. You may book only one camping accommodation unit

per campsite at reservation. The campground operator may allow a second unit at check-in. An additional full camping fee is charged for second units. Guaranteed check-in time is 4 p.m. and checkout time is 2 p.m. Only the person whose name is on the reservation (or designate) will have access to change or cancel a r eservation. There is a $5 non-refundable fee per change. If a c hange to arrive at a later date is made less than 24 hours before 2 p.m. of the scheduled arrival date, one night's camping fee will be forfeited.

Duggan Mall Walkers set ambitious goal By Dan Jensen

The Duggan Mall Walkers want to send their mascot to the Olympics. Canadian Olympic hopefuls have indicated they will find a way to take Duggie the Mall Walking Moose with them to the 2012 Summer Olympics if the Duggan Mall Walkers are able to walk a combined total of 6,800 km â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the distance between Camrose and London. That translates into 15,814 round trips of the Mall. "It's going to be a b it of a stretch but we are confident that with the help of the community we will be able to do it," said Duggan Mall Walkers' program coordinator Lora Miller. The Duggan Mall Walkers meet from 9 t o 11 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from just after Thanksgiving to April. "Walkers who come out are able to make new friends and get healthy at the same time," said Miller. "They are able to walk in a safe and climate controlled environment so t hey don't have to battle winter's snowbanks or icy sidewalks." Over the last four years, the Duggan Mall Walkers have completed 29,793 laps up and down

Kinesiologist Nadine MacMillan (left) leads Duggan Mall Walkers through a few stretching exercises. the mall corridor for a t otal of 12,811 km. Last year walkers logged 3,900 km â&#x20AC;&#x201C; t he distance from Camrose to New Orleans. The husband-wife team of Carl and Christina Selin walked 796 and 752 laps respectively for a total distance of 666 km, while

Shirley Radowetz completed 731 laps. "Before I started Mall Walking I was having problems with my knee," said Carl Selin. "Now I feel I've strengthened up a b it and the knee doesn't bother me anymore."

Longtime program volunteer and mall walker Marie Hollman raised her heart rate and improved her health on 94 days, topping the attendance record. Sometimes she would do extra laps just because it made her feel better.

Duggan Mall Walkers usually completes its winter season with 60 participants. "We start with lower numbers and watch them grow over the course of the year," stated Miller. "We're off to a pretty good start this year as we already have 27 walkers." The number of walkers who are needed for the group to reach its goal of 6,800 km is estimated to be between 80 and 100. The Duggan Mall Walkers receive discount cards from participating Mall merchants for each milestone lap achieved. They also have the opportunity to listen to Healthy Living presentations and be part of a Christmas social. The Duggan Mall Walkers program was introduced in 2008 as a collaborative initiative between Alberta Health Services, the Camrose Duggan Mall administration and participating Mall merchants. Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports to more than 3.7 million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Chester Ronning School students remember a special day By Murray Green

Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion president Gord Minnes and Sergeant at Arms David Rurka were joined by RCMP constable Tyler Hagel and Camrose Police Service school resource officer Jon Fernhout at the Chester Ronning School Remembrance Day service on Nov. 9. Teacher Brenda Deringer led the service for the students. Along with the two great wars, the students were asked to have a moment of silence for current conflicts as well. "We might think

of the sadness and the loneliness that the 158 Canadian families that have had loved ones killed in the current Afghanistan conflict must deal with each day," she said. "We might also think of all that we have to be thankful for as citizens of Canada." Brenda spoke about how lucky Canadians are in the world. "If you can attend a c hurch meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are more blessed than three billion people in the world. If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a

roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 per cent of the people in this world." She then asked the students to do their part to avoid conflict. "Perhaps we can use Remembrance Day as a time to remember how to keep our world peaceful by thinking how not to bully or how to stop others who bully, so t hat we all feel safe together. We need to stop and think about the choices that we all make every day – in our homes, our schools and our workplaces, which can either threaten,

or protect, the peace and security we have been given." Legion president Mr. Minnes shared his views with the teachers and students. "We should show respect for the brave men and women who served in the wars and peacekeeping missions. It is a time to recognize the freedom they fought to preserve. They thought their actions would make a significant change in our future. It is up to us to keep the peace they fought hard to achieve," said Mr. Minnes. Former student and current RCMP member Const. Hagel

encouraged students to think about what Remembrance Day means to them. "How will you choose to remember? I choose to be part of the service and study history to remember. There is a city in Belgium that plays the bugle every night to remember. Every night since 1927. People in the city light a candle to remember and the city seems to glow. In Canada, we celebrate the tomb of an unknown soldier. In closing, I a sk how you will remember?"

Charlie Killam School plays host to Junior High Volleyball tourney By Murray Green One thing you can count on in junior high volleyball is the fact that the Charlie Killam School will organize a good tournament. As players learn the game, the momentum on the court can swing in any direction in a short period of time. Leduc made a cl ean sweep by defeating the Our Lady of Mount Pleasant team in the girls' final and by beating Louis St. L aurent of Edmonton on the boys' side on Nov. 4 and 5. "A junior high tournament of this size is not possible without support. The support came from administration, parents, community referees, community coaches, Charlie Killam staff, Camrose Composite high school work experience students, Charlie Killam leadership students, our

school librarian (Mrs. Hope Heck) who planned our concession for both days and, of course, the community fans who came out and cheered," said Jayson Boyson, athletic director at the Charlie Killam School. In the girls' semifinals, Camrose's Our Lady of Mount Pleasant defeated Red Deer and Leduc eliminated the Charlie Killam 1 C ougars' team. Other teams in the tournament were, New Norway, Louis St. Laurent, Daysland and a se cond Charlie Killam squad. Louis St. L aurent defeated Bawlf and Leduc beat Our Lady of Mount Pleasant in the boys' semifinals. Other teams in the tournament were Charlie Killam 1, New Norway, Daysland and a second Charlie Killam squad.

The girls' team from Our Lady of Mount Pleasant, left, missed the block on this play, but they roared back to defeat the Charlie Killam Cougars during the junior high volleyball tournament in Camrose. OLMP reached the finals before dropping the final match to Leduc. Both the girls' and boys' side of the Charlie Killam School tournament had six teams.

Augustana students putting theory into practice By Dan Jensen

It's one thing to learn the theories, it is quite another to put those theories into practice. Thanks to the help of the Association for Life-wide Living of Alberta (A.L.L.), nine students from the Management 200 Class at the University of Alberta's Augustana Faculty have been able to do both. One of the things on which students have been working with A.L.L. is improved communication around eye and kidney health for residents of the Battle River region. "Looking into renal health issues has opened my eyes and shown me that many Albertans are not getting from the government all the information they need," said Wobo. "In some cases people don't know they have a d isease. They are not aware of the symptoms and they are not aware of what is happening with them. And if they don't know what is happening they don't know what to do to get help." Jane Ross, president of A.L.L., said the intention is to get students involved as project managers, rather than to simply create make work situations. She said the students have come up with some very interesting ideas and recommendations, as a r esult of the work they are doing that A.L.L., and will be presenting them to the Alberta Minister of Health and Wellness. In a c onference on kidney disease and palliative care in October, students learned how

to ease patients into the dying process while making sure their wishes are respected. "They've had good discussions on how to look at kidney disease from a different perspective," said Ross. Students have also been conducting research on the need for more cataract surgery in the area, organizing and hosting workshops on CPR and defibrillation workshops in Bashaw and Camrose, and looking into how residents of the Battle River region can be hooked up to trans-

portation systems that can get them to the health services they need. Lee Gross, for one, is investigating better ways to get residents to health care and health care to the residents. "We are trying to make a schedule for community volunteer drivers to take people to Edmonton for things like dialysis and cataract surgery," said Lee Gross. "There are a lot of things like that that need to be addressed but are not." Brendan Dzioba, who has been working on putting together

Lynda provides inspiration

Wobo said she will be able to take the information she has gained about renal health back home when she is finished her education. "I have the information now, it is a matter of being able to put it to work." The Association for Lifewide Living is a r egistered society dedicated to understanding policy and improving conditions for individuals across the lifespan through research, health promotion, knowledge building and disease prevention.

For Sheri, finding inspiration was easy. She had her mother, Lynda (last names held by request). Sheri entered, and won a $100 gift certificate for both her mother and herself, during the Bra Necessities Woman of Inspiration contest in October. "My woman of inspiration is my mother, who was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. Retired and enjoying a winter getaway in Arizona, her time there was cut short when she found a lump in her breast while showering one day," explained Sheri. When Lynda returned to Alberta she confirmed that in fact she had a c ancer lump in one of her breasts. The cancer medical facility in Edmonton was excellent, very quick and efficient to start procedures immediately. She had one breast removed, went through chemotherapy and then as a final precaution had radiation treatments. "I had mentioned to her that she should consider having a breast implant done at the same time. She made me laugh as she said 'I’m over 60 now, I don’t need breasts anymore,' but then I started to cry. I don’t think at any age I w ould be okay with losing my breasts. I was very inspired by her courage and positive attitude when faced with such a situation." Then through chemotherapy, her hair started to fall out. "I’m

the CPR workshops, appreciates the chance to be involved in real life situations and deal with situations that make a difference in a community. "It has taught me the basic foundations and showed me what to expect when working for a company," he said. "A lot of times A.L.L. didn't tell us exactly what they wanted so w e had a l ot of free range. It's stressful in a way but it gave us a chance to try and spread our wings a little bit as students and not to be just stuck inside a classroom."

Lynda enjoys every minute she has and inspires people with her positive attitude. Her daughter Sheri earned a gift certificate from Bra Necessities for sharing her story with others.

sure I would have cried for days, but she really liked the nice wigs the Cancer Society supplied her with," said Sheri. "She said how much she enjoyed not having to dye and cut her hair all the time. Again, she made me laugh on the outside all while being so sad f or her on the inside." The Cancer Society has really come a long way in its pre-treatments, as they would give her certain drugs to stop a lot of the side effect sickness that happens. "I would call her after treatments to make sure she was okay and found out that some days she had gone grocery shopping right after," added Sheri. After all the treatments were over and she was cancer free, she and a f riend (who also went through the same treatments) went out for a “we beat it celebration dinner.” At t he end of the

dinner a Canadian Army soldier at the table beside them came over, picked up the tab and said he wanted to buy their dinner. "'Why?' they asked. He told them that he had lost his mother to breast cancer, and hearing their stories of achievement gave him hope for all the other mothers out there. Knowing what his mother went through, he said they really deserved to be treated on this special occasion. Reality hit me, knowing that our family will still have some great years with her." Sheri knows from where she receives her inspiration. "Knowing that my sister and I now have a greater chance of developing breast cancer, I c an only hope and pray that I t oo would have the same courage, strength and positive attitude to fight back as my mother had. I t hank her for showing me the way."

The University of Alberta is taking steps through its Alberta Centre for Sustainable Research to become more rurally relevant. A joint initiative of two faculties of the University of Alberta: the Augustana campus and the Faculty of Agriculture, Life and Environmental Sciences, the centre is striving to fill the gaps for research and policy in rural areas by fostering constructive dialogue, promoting interdisciplinary and collaborative research, and developing partnerships between the University of Alberta and rural communities in Alberta and beyond. "We want to think respectfully and reciprocally with, not just for rural communities, and to facilitate knowledge transfer," said centre director Dr. Lars K. Hallstrom in addressing the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Nov 2. Projects in which the centre has been involved since its formation in July 2009 have touched on health and aging (what does growing old in a sustainable community look like?), natural resources (water quality management and quantity), and sustainable community planning (how to turn a community's sustainability plan into something meaningful). "Last year we were able to work with 40 community partners," said Hallstrom. Within the University of Alberta, the Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities aims to engage a broad range of scholars from across faculties including, but not limited to: environmental scientists, social scientists, historians, education and health care specialists, as well as those in the creative arts concerned with representations of the rural. As well, it has partnered with the Learning and Beyond office at Augustana to establish the Rural Capacity Internship Program in which students, working under the guidance of Augustana faculty members, develop and research communitybased projects that support rural capacity and sustainability issues. Kailyn Jones, from the psychology class of 2011, had the opportunity to work alongside the residents of Slave Lake in the wildlife relief efforts, doing community programming, data entry and housing needs assessments. Dr. Hallstrom's What makes rural Alberta communities successful – water management project seeks to identify, synthesize and categorize the multiple strategies and initiatives that have been undertaken within Alberta to reconcile the pressures of economic and population growth with issues of water supply and policy. The centre provides public lectures on a w ide range of topics, including rural capacity, religion and sustainability, education and rural Canada, and the role/importance of culture in the sustainability question.

Chrysler 300 Premium features at legendary value By Dan Jensen

Integrating the first eight-speed automatic transmission in a domestic luxury sedan, the 2012 Chrysler 300 series sedan offers world-class technology innovation and quality while delivering stylistic distinction and premium features at legendary value. "The 2012 Chrysler 300 is b uilt on the idea that luxury feels better earned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that those who worked hard to achieve their place in the world should demand as much as is demanded of them," said Saad Chehab, head, Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. Eight speed transmission Once limited to premium import vehicles costing twice as much, the new segment-exclusive ZF 8HP45 eight-speed automatic transmission expands the worldclass power and fuel efficiency of the 2012 Chrysler 300, 300S (V-6) and 300 Limited models, and offers class-leading fuel efficiency. The addition of three more gear ratios help to reduce the gaps normally associated with upshifting and downshifting. Combined with the award-winning 292 horsepower and 3.6 litre Pentastar V-6 engine, passengers will experience world-class levels of refinement due to small, evenly spaced ratios that provide quicker acceleration and smoother shifts. Quicker shifts are possible on the new Chrysler 300S V-6 model as a result of the "Sport" shift mode that requires simple driver input. When the driver chooses to let the transmission shift in "Sport" mode, gear changes are quicker and revs a re held higher for even more performance-oriented acceleration and higher shift dynamics. The Chrysler 300 Limited and 300S (V-6) all wheel drive models combine the new eight-speed automatic transmission, fuel efficient 3.6 litre Pentastar V-6 engine and the segment's most advanced all wheel drive system for maximum all-weather traction and efficiency. Chrysler 300's all wheel drive system features a segment exclusive active transfer case and front-axledisconnect system to improve real world fuel economy. The system seamlessly transitions between rear wheel drive and all wheel drive with no driver intervention. When all wheel drive is not required, the system automatically disconnects the front axle to maximize fuel economy while still providing the outstanding fun-todrive performance and handling inherent in rear wheel drive vehicles. Quality sound Standard on 2012 Chrysler 300S models and available on 2012 Chrysler 300 Limited, 300C and 300C Luxury Series models, the Beats by Dr. Dre audio technology includes a 5 22-watt 12-channel amplifier that integrates the heart of the Beats proprietary equalizer algorithm, creating the high-definition sound required in professional recording studios. The sedan's Uconnect Touch system has been upgraded for 2012, adding handsfree texting, voice commands for Garmin navigation, SIRIUS Traffic and

more i Pod control features to expand on the system's world-class infotainment, connectivity and convenience technologies. UConnect Touch 8.4 enables Chrysler 300 passengers to input street addresses and navigate to points of interest. Athletic luxury

Legislature Report Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River - Wainwright Premier outlines new approach to deliver a better Alberta

After a p reliminary stakeholder consultation, Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk has decided not to go forward with Bill 18, the Education Act, in the current Fall Legislative Session. Further public and stakeholder engagement will take place over the next few months to ensure the legislation reflects the Government of Albertaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renewed commitment to education. Lukaszuk recently contacted Alberta school boards and stakeholder organizations regarding Bill 18, asking for submissions on how the proposed Education Act would benefit the children of Alberta and how well it reflects the findings of Inspiring Education. While there was support for many provisions in the bill, a number of submissions identified outstanding issues.

Anaheim prospect to play in Camrose

By Dan Jensen

Hockey fans in Camrose and area will be able to see Anaheim Ducks' prospect Emerson Etem when Team U.S.A. takes on Team Switzerland in World Junior Championship exhibition action at the Edgeworth Centre Dec. 21. Etem, a forward with the Medicine Hat Tigers in the Western Hockey League, was named WHL player of the month for October. "The 19-year-old forward had an incredible start to the season, recording 31 points in 51 games throughout September and October," said Camrose Kodiaks' assistant general manager Darcy Steen. As of last week, Etem was the top WHL sniper with 21 goals and 10 assists. He already has three hat tricks for the season. "His efforts have earned him a three star selection 12 times," said Steen. "Five of those times he was named first star." A Long Beach, California native, Etem is i n his third full season with the Tigers. Last year he scored 45 goals and 35 assists for 80 points. Etem played for Team USA at last year's IIHF World Junior Championship, which was held in Buffalo, New York. Steen is encouraging fans to get their tickets for the Team USA and Team Switzerland as soon as possible, because they are selling very quickly. "Tickets make a g reat Christmas gift and also make for a special family right around the holiday season," he said. The 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship, which will be hosted by Edmonton and Calgary over a p eriod of 10 days starting Boxing Day, will feature teams from the top ten countries in junior hockey: Canada, Russia, Switzerland, Latvia, Slovakia, Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Denmark and the United States. The United States won the bronze medal in the 2011 championship and the gold in 2010. Team USA will be using Camrose as its home base from Saturday, Dec. 17, to Saturday, Dec. 24. before departing for Edmonton, where it will be playing all of its World Junior round robin games. "Camrose is one of a select few cities and towns in Alberta that have the privilege of hosting a pre-competition camp and exhibition game for the World Junior Championship," said Steen. Tickets for the exhibition may be ordered on-line at www. hockeycanada.ca/tickets, or by phone at 780-679-2603. Tickets may also be purchased at the Camrose Kodiaks' office in Edgeworth Centre between 12 noon and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Alberta honours veterans with new motorcycle plate Starting next spring, Albertans who served their country in the forces will be able to display veterans’ licence plates on their motorcycles with the expansion of the provincial government’s veterans’ plate program. “Albertans respect the sacrifice of the men and women in the Canadian Forces, and the veterans’ licence plate is an instantly

recognizable reminder of that sacrifice,” said Service Alberta Minister Manmeet Bhullar. “We owe a lot to veterans for the freedoms and rights we enjoy today and the provincial government is happy to provide yet another way of showing our appreciation for all that veterans have done.” Nearly 21,000 veterans’ plates have been issued since

the program began in February 2005. Plates are available to retired forces members who have been honourably discharged, as well as members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or other Canadian police departments who served under NATO or the United Nations. Last year, the Alberta government, working with the Royal

Canadian Legion Alberta-Northwest Territories Command, expanded eligibility to include currently serving Canadian Forces members with at least three years of service. “Alberta veterans and current forces members are proud of their service to their country,” said Darrel Jones, president of the Royal Canadian Legion

Alberta-N.W.T. Command. “They appreciate the recognition from Albertans for their contribution and they will be proud to display the new motorcycle veterans’ licence plate.” Alberta will be the third province to offer veterans’ motorcycle plates when they become available in April 2012.

Back and forth volleyball net action

Augustana skiers and biathletes off to Canmore camp By Murray Green

Since the snow didn't arrive in time for the start of the Augustana Vikings' cross-country skiing season in Camrose, the athletes went to the snow. Kieran Baird is ea ger to begin another stage of training. "We do a lot of cross-training in the summer and fall, such as running, cycling and roller skiing," said Kieran. "You can build your base fitness on land, but where you have to put everything together is on snow. Timing and technique needs to be on snow." The Vikings left for Canmore to attend a snow camp from Nov. 14 to 19. Both the crosscounty ski team and the biathlon team are taking a week off from studies to prepare for the season. "Last year, my best result was in a b ronze medal winning showing in the Canadian University Championships in the team sprint event," said Kieran. "At westerns, I had some top 20s and I w ant to improve on those this year. In the open men's category, it is a tough field. I want at least one medal at the university championships again and some top 10 finishes." Augustana has about 10 returning members this year and is looking for a solid year on the trails. "I started skiing when I was young and love it. I c ame to Augustana because they are the only university to offer crosscountry skiing," said the Manitoba resident. "It is a busy week. I am in Kamloops for the running nationals and it helps me train for the upcoming ski season. It is good to receive that race competition feeling early in the season." Biathlon

New Norway and Charlie Killam School junior high volleyball teams battled at the net during the annual Camrose tournament on Nov. 4. Leduc won the boys' side of the volleyball tournament.

Biathletes Ryan Burlingame and Carly Shiell are also excited to hit the trails and range on snow. "Last year, I c onsistently finished in the middle of the

pack," said Ryan. "I h ope to up my game a little more by shooting better and skiing a little faster. I want to be in the top five." Carly missed most of last year due to an illness, so she is revved up for the new season. "Two years ago, I went to Sweden for the youth and junior world championships. I w ant to get back to that level," added Carly. Ryan explained that he does a lot of shooting practice in the summer and spends a lot of time holding his rifle. ""I like to keep it in my hands to get the feel of it. When you are under pressure, it helps to know how your rifle feels. I want to improve my shooting, so I h ave been practising. It is a little different when you have snow, so I'm l ooking forward to that." Carly has also spent a lot of time preparing. "I like to get out on the road and spend a l ot of time in the gym. Lots of shooting as well." Taking a week off of dry land training to hit the snow is ideal for the biathletes. "We work out early, do some studying and then do a lot of skiing," said Carly. "Skiing on snow uses slightly different muscles than roller skiing, so it is very important to be on snow," added Ryan. "You have to get your ski legs back." Shooting o n a s now range allows for proper training. "It allows you to get into a rhythm of skiing and shooting that you can't get on land," said Carly. Ryan said he wants to improve his shooting to 80 per cent or better to avoid penalty loops. That will show up in the standings. "It is a b ig goal for me, but it would help me to be on the podium. That is t he goal for me," said Ryan, who is f rom Whitehorse, Yukon. "Augustana has the only university biathlon program in Canada, so this is the place I wanted to be."

Small Town Saturday Night Contest begins

Refugee sponsor

By Murray Green

Tayte Peterson of Camrose asked for cash donations for his Jar for the Poor, instead of presents, for his seventh birthday to go towards the St. Francis Xavier Parish Sponsorship of Two Refugee Families program. Committee members Joe McMorrow and Debbie Muise accepted the $220 that Tayte collected. A family arrives in Camrose on Nov. 17 and stays for about a year.

After 19 years of being on the big stage, the Big Valley Jamboree is going small town. The outdoor music festival has had the support of music fans across Alberta in rural communities. This year, as the Big Valley Jamboree celebrates its 20th anniversary, the organizers and Travel Alberta have partnered to bring a piece of the concert to a sma ll community. Big Valley Jamboree will still celebrate the anniversary in Camrose this summer, but there will be a smaller version of the festival held in addition to the main event. In 2012, BVJ is going to bring the Big Valley Jamboree experience to one lucky and deserving rural Alberta community. All the excitement of the festival, including some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest country music entertainers, could be coming to your town. The event called Small Town Saturday Night, will have multiple Canadian Country Music Association award winning Dean Brody as the headliner. Brody just finished touring the nation with the cross-Canada CMT Hit List Tour. He is one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest-rising male vocalists and earned three awards this year: Album of the Year, Single of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year for his work on album Trail in Life. The BVJ flavour will be featured when Aaron Lines will be the host in the Songwriters' Circle. Master of ceremonies for the event will be Danny Hooper, who annually entertains his fans on the main stage in Camrose. H ooper will be MC at Small Town Saturday Night as well. To enter the contest, pick up your video camera and show us why you think your community is the best place for the Small Town Saturday Night experience. After completion, upload your video to YouTube, and then get your friends, neighbours and entire community to vote for your video online. The contest winning community will be announced on March 22, 2012. The show will take place on April 28, 2012. Further details are available at www.bigvalleyjamboree.com/ STSN.

Official painting unveiled for Boston Pizza Cup By Dan Jensen

The official painting for the 2012 Boston Pizza Cup men's curling championships was unveiled at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce's monthly noon luncheon Nov. 2. The 24 by 36 acrylic on canvas entitled Making the Shot features Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin alongside local curling standouts Jack Wallace, Reg and Adam Enright. The painting was created by Darcy Polny, owner of Groundwater Communications, one of the platinum sponsors for the Boston Pizza Cup. "I wanted to show the historical and the emotional connection to the game of curling in Camrose," said Polny. "It shows a bit of the legacy of the Rose City Curling Club." The painting is autographed by all three curlers. Kevin Martin and Reg Enright are two of the most competitive curlers this province has ever seen. While their involvement in the sport has taken different directions, they did play against each other quite often in their younger days. "From what I was told Reg would often end up winning," said Polny. Adam Enright, who is the son of Reg, was an alternate on Martin's Olympic gold medal team during the 2010 winter Olympic in Vancouver. Jack Wallace was a longtime member of the Rose City Curling Club, holding many of the club's executive positions. As a competitive curler he won the visitors' aggregate trophy at the Alberta Curling Association's City of Edmonton bonspiel in 1956 and skipped teams repre-

senting northern Alberta at provincial championships during the 1970s. He was eventually awarded a lifetime membership in the Northern Alberta Curling Association (NACA). "We're going to see if we can include him in the opening ceremonies for the Boston Pizza Cup," said event chair Bob Seney. The painting, which is valued at $5,000, will be raffled as a fundraiser for the Rose City Curling Club, with the draw to

take place during the fifth end break of the final game. "We did the same thing with a painting Darcy had done for the Alberta Scotties tournament last year," said Boston Pizza Cup event organizer Ken Duggan. "We were a little disappointed with the sales so we are hoping to do better with them this year." Duggan feels the painting will help draw more attention to the event. "Darcy has done a wonder-

ful job with it," he said. "It is a real good likeness of everyone and it is a rea l tribute to the theme of celebrating 100 years of curling in Camrose." Polny said he tried curling once but found that his knees would not allow him to bend that low. He said his son started in the sport a year ago and is finding it fun. The Boston Pizza Cup will be the third major curling event to be held in Camrose in the

last four years, following the Continental Cup of Curling and the Alberta Scotties. The event will feature 12 of the best men's teams in the province. "Kevin Martin has already qualified and there are four other teams that will qualify through things like tour rankings," said Seney. "The other teams will have to go t hrough what we used to call the old playoff format, where they have to go through different levels to be here."

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Vikings' curling teams are preparing for another big year By Murray Green

Augustana curler Chad Szott received a go ld medal as part of the mixed squad that won the college provincials last year. Adding a se cond medal to his collection is his goal this season. "We practice twice a w eek, as well as enter in league play in Camrose," said Chad. "Our first ACAC (Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference) bonspiel is in December and we go t o Red Deer. We lost one girl but a curler that was with us two years ago is back. We are familiar with each, we just need to get our team back curling together again. It will be interesting to see how that changes things. We have the skill to repeat." Newcomer Sara McCrae of Vermilion is read y to help the women's rink improve. She will curl second on the foursome that struggled at times last year. "I grew up on a fa rm, so c oming to Augustana was a go od fit for me," said Sara. "We have a more competitive mind set this year on the women's team. We have two returning and two new players. From what I h ave seen, I t hink we should have a g ood shot at doing well. We just have to keep focused and practice well." Augustana had more women curlers trying out for the teams and that should help the teams' chances in bonspiels. "We curl in two college tournaments before the championships," explained Chad. "We see each team four times before the provincials, so we get to know each team. Each game matters and we try to do the best we can in every game." With only two qualifying bonspiels, each game is very important. "Our coach comes out to view our games and work with us in practice. Our ladies' team will be entering the bonspiel here Nov. 18 to 20 to give us more competition," said Sara. The Rose City Curling Club will be hosting the college provincials in February. "It adds a little pressure to us to make it to provincials because we are hosting," said Chad. "Just because we are hosting, it doesn't mean your team is automatically in. Last year, Vermilion hosted and I don't think they had any teams in it. That would be an embarrassment if you don't have at least one team in provincials. We want to make sure we are there." Once the rinks qualify, the advantage goes to Augustana. "When you curl on your own ice it gives you an advantage because of the experience of knowing how a rock curls," said Sara. Chad added that it usually takes a game to get the feel of the ice. "I'm excited for a great season and hopefully we get some fans out during the season and for provincials," said Sara.

BRSD trustees receive staffing update Diane Hutchinson, Communications Coordinator, Battle River School Division

The board of trustees of Battle River School Division received an update on school division staffing during the October 27 meeting. Greg Friend, manager of human resources for the school division, told board members that BRSD has the equivalent of 359.15 full-time teaching positions this year. That’s 32.29 fte less than in the 2010-11 school year. In addition, trustees heard that 37 educational assistants had been laid off at the end of June and, of that number, the division has been able to hire back 24. However, Mr. Friend also pointed out that, overall, educational assistants tend to be working fewer hours this year. In addition to these changes, the division has also reduced the number of bus routes and eliminated or reduced positions in transportation, operations and maintenance, as well as at division office. The reduction in staff is a direct result of the three per cent decline in student numbers the school division is experiencing this year. According to projections, the student number is expected to decline again in the year ahead. But it's possible that the recent government funding announcements will allow the school division to slightly adjust teaching or educational assistant hours in schools for the next few months.

Lyle Harold Sheets Mr. Lyle Sheets of Kelsey, Alberta passed away on Saturday, November 5, 2011 at the age of 80 years. Lyle Harold Sheets was born on June 3, 1931 at Ohaton, Alberta. He was the third child of n ine born to Hugh and Ragna Sheets. He grew up o n the farm and found great joy in working with all of the animals, especially his team of goats. He enjoyed his school years at Ho ricon and Camrose. After school, he worked on the pipeline and drilling rigs. He was happy to contribute some of h is earnings to make sure everyone at home could enjoy some special comforts. It was while he w as working on the rigs that he met Janice Van Hullebush at No rth Battleford, Saskatchewan. They were married there on July 30, 1955. They moved back to the farm at Ohaton, and Lyle worked for the Alberta Wheat Pool in Bawlf for one year. They moved to an acreage at Kelsey, Alberta where he took up the manager’s position for the Wheat Pool for the next 31 years. He meticulously kept his books and his office in order and was a man of many organized “To Do Lists”. Lyle and Janice spent many years attending local auction markets. He always enjoyed getting a good deal on a horse, and frequently dragged the odd piece of junk home, much to Janice’s frustration. He was well known on the pony chariot circuit around the province. He organized and enjoyed coaching various Kelsey ball teams. He and Janice were dedicated caretakers for the Kelsey Hall for 55 years. He was an avid supporter of, and strongly believed in, maintaining the small rural community. He took great pride in the appearance of his yard and the hamlet. They had two children, a dau ghter Janine and a s on Jerry. Janine and he s pent many hours working with horses and coopering box cars at the elevator. Lyle and Jerry had many discussions about how loud a motorbike should be when you drive it. His greatest enjoyment was visiting and exchanging stories with the neighbours on a daily basis. Anyone and everyone were always welcome. He often held court in his big armchair in the living room and was known affectionately as the mayor of Kelsey. He enjoyed many sporting events from that chair on TV and was a huge supporter of the Edmonton sports teams. His grandkids added a new dimension to his and Janice’s world. Lyle and his grandkids maintained a mutual admiration society until his passing. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Janice of 56 yea rs; his daughter Janine (Ken) Klevgaard; his son Jerry; and grandchildren Martin (Jenn) Klevgaard, Kate Klevgaard and Annette Klevgaard; brother Don (Linda) Sheets; sisters Ruby (Dave) H utchinson, Pat (Dave) T hompson and Helen (Burl) Adams. He was predeceased by his father Hugh, mother Ragna, brother Lloyd, infant brother Glen, brother Russell and sister Shirley. Funeral services were held on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Larry Pederson officiating.

In loving memory of

Amanda Noelle Clement November 19, 1986 – October 30, 2004 Thinking of you, during this time, When we should be celebrating your birthday, But… Seven years have passed, we still feel the pain, Your absence is profound… Your mama, your sisters, your family, your friends The entire world is missing you. You’re in our hearts, not a day goes by, When your toothy grin, your little giggle, your cheery voice Brings a tear to the eye. Missing you is not about how long It has been since we have seen you Or the amount of time since we’ve talked. It’s about that very moment When I find myself doing something And wishing you were by my side. Forever in our hearts, Love Mom, Jessica & Abbygail, and Kathryn
