When disaster strikes, the tent and relatively meagre survival equipment shown above provide shelter and essential items for a family of ten. The highquality contents of the Rotary Shelterbox includes ten sleeping bags, tools, cooking aids, clean water and matches. The box itself becomes a useful watering tank, or an item in which to store food. It routinely gets transformed into a table. These self-contained survival kits are held in secure storage in Cornwall, Ontario by Rotary International. They are ready to ship world-wide the moment a natural disaster occurs.

Diallo shares African music By Murray Green

The music, culture and dance of Africa shines through in Alpha Yaya Diallo’s West African Summit concerts. The group will be appearing at the Bailey Theatre on Nov. 25 in the Rose City Roots Music Society series. Alpha has been bringing the dynamic sounds, rhythms and energy of the Bafing River region and his Guinean homeland to Canadian and international audiences for the last three decades. He is three-time Juno award-winning guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, singer and composer who has garnered huge success across this country,. Alpha is known for his instrumental and musical skills as well as his ability to deliver electrifying live shows. Alpha decided to expand the experience of his music to a new level with the creation of the West African Summit. This group fills out his sound for a total music experience. Both musicians and dancers come together to take audiences on a musical journey into the music, rhythms, movement and energy of Guinea, Senegal and Mali countries in Africa. Traditional instruments such as the kora, ngoni, balafon and percussion mix with more modern instruments like the guitar and bass. Alpha has an all-star lineup of musicians and dancers who are creative artists. They include two masters of traditional African music with Naby Camara on balafon and Prince Diabaté, one

Camrose City council received an update Nov. 13 on what has been happening at the Camrose Public Library over the past year. Library director Deb Cryderman told council that 84,024 people had visited the library to the end of October, 2012, up 25 per cent over the same time last year, when the total number of visitors for the entire year was 81,215. Cryderman also explained that the number of program attendees was 10,396 to the end of October, up from 2,229 in 2011. "With two months remaining in the year we expect that we will have at least 12,000 people participate in programming at the library. With a budget of $10,000 for programming this year, that works out to be $.83 per participant." Library programs help to build literacy, provide socialization opportunities, develop language and thinking skills, and provide opportunities for communication and knowledge gathering. Family programs at Camrose Public Library in 2012 have included: A Date with Dad, Free Comic Book Day, Juice Boxes with the Mayor, a Lord of the Rings movie marathon, Snapshot Day and Family Movie Nights. The Libraries Act identifies literacy as a core service of libraries. More accessible

Alpha Yaya Diallo will be performing at the Bailey Theatre Nov. 25.

of the most accomplished kora players performing outside Africa today. The band also features Thomas Ehru Niamke on drums and Vegari Cendar on bass. They are joined by N’nato Camara and Mariama Camara, two of African music’s finest traditional dancers. This world calibre artistic team and troupe offers a rare

musical experience that goes beyond a concert, beyond a show to deliver a true and thrilling glimpse into the heart, the beauty, power and sheer joyful energy of West African music. Tickets to the West African Summit Sunday show are available on-line at the Bailey Theatre website or at the box office.

Cryderman said free library cards have been a tremendous help in making the library more accessible. "Our memberships to the end of October totalled 4,412, or 230 more than all of 2011. We see the results of those free cards every day, especially in the circulation of materials for young people where some youth collections have seen increases in circulation of over 3,000 per cent. Obviously free cards have made the library a more welcoming place for many people, especially families with young children." The Camrose Public Library has been described as a community living room – a place to visit and socialize, to sit and lose one's self in a book, and a place to learn something new. New look

The library has undergone a makeover in 2012 with the installation of new carpet throughout the facility, new paint on the interior, the installation of a new kitchen by the shop class at Cam-

rose Composite High School, and the rearrangement of over 8,000 linear feet of shelving, and has plans to upgrade or replace furnishings, including new accessible service desks both upstairs and down. "None of this is cheap and we realize the burden we place on our generous funders," said Cryderman. "In order to offset some of the expenses we incur during our day-to-day operation we have plans to approach businesses to partner with us for some of our more major programming endeavours. We see the high attendance at our programs as the perfect partnership for businesses to promote themselves while supporting the library." The library takes advantage of many grants to offset the cost of improvements to the facility, collections, programming and staffing. Volunteers

The library continues to receive great support from volunteers. "By the end of October people had donated more than 1,300 hours of their time by serving on the library board, helping us move shelving units during our renovation, delivering materials to the lodges, cleaning and repairing DVDs and audiobooks, helping with programs, sorting materials on our materials delivery days, assembling and disassembling furniture and helping with our book sale," said Cryderman. Parkland membership

Cryderman said the library sees strong benefits from the City of Camrose membership in the Parkland Regional Library system. "From the $121,858.52 requisition paid to PRL, we get more than half of that amount back. That leaves $60,490.27 as the actual cost of belonging to the PRL. Services that have been provided by Parkland in 2012 include free internet and management of the Supernet, remote maintenance of computers, technological support, an integrated library system that allows library users to borrow from the collections of libraries around Alberta at no cost, interlibrary loan deliveries, and free access to a website template. "Surely the value of being part of Parkland Regional Library is worth every penny," said Cryderman.

Bailey Theatre Society presents funding request By Dan Jensen

The Bailey Theatre Society is hoping that Camrose City council will be in a generous mood this Christmas season. The Society is requesting that the City provide a $250,000 grant to ensure the Bailey's immediate survival, as well as an ongoing grant of $150,000 per year to meet ongoing operating costs and show that the theatre "is here to stay." Society president Judy McLean told council in a Nov. 13 presentation that $250,000 would help reduce the Bailey's mortgage and boost the society's fundraising efforts by showing donors that the Bailey is on sound financial footing. She added that an ongoing subsidy of $150,000, which is comparable to the City's level of support for other organizations, would ensure a sustainable operating budget over the long term. "We are confident," said McLean, "that with a little help from the City this treasure on main street will be a lasting asset for the citizens of Camrose and east central Alberta." "Like any new business we expect the Bailey to become financially stronger as it becomes better established." A written report prepared for council indicated that the Bailey averages a shortfall of about $19,000 per month – more than 65 per cent of which is due to utilities maintenance and repairs – and that, altogether, the Bailey needs about $250,000 a year in additional income. The report also stated that while a small fraction of this can be generated through private donations, the largest portion needs to come from public sources, particularly the City of Camrose. The Bailey Theatre Society was forced early in November to convert its line of credit with the Battle River Credit Union to a 20-year mortgage with payments of $3,943 per month. Until then it had only had to make payments against the interest on the loan. "Basically we had a demand loan situation before, so we were only paying the interest," said McLean. "Their (Battle River Credit Union's head office said we either had to come up with $100,000 to put on the loan by

Oct. 1 or we would have to go to a mortgage system." The Society has applied for a $300,000 grant from the Community Facilities Enhancement Program but isn't expecting to hear anything until the middle of December. Had the grant arrived in October as was originally expected, the Society would have been able to put money towards the demand loan and been able to continue to pay just the interest charges. The Bailey Theatre will be holding major fund-raising events November 17, New Year's Eve and in June of 2013. McLean said production and management staff, as well as the Society's board members have been very active in encouraging donations at almost every production, filling our grant forms and making presentations to Camrose businesses. "When we encounter some hesitancy in donating it is often because they are waiting for confirmation that we are and will be alive and well in the future." The Society has been told that it has to be in business for

two years before application can be made for a casino licence. City councillor Max Lindstrand pointed out to the Bailey Theatre Society that a request of $250,000 represents more than a one per cent increase in the Camrose tax rate. "I am quite sure that the audience here would be quite happy to pay another one per cent on your taxes for this facility. Whether that is an opinion that is held city-wide I don't know." Lindstrand also said it is extremely important that there be a Camrose arts authority to oversee the entire package of the Camrose Performing Arts Centre, the Bailey Theatre and the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre. "I think those three facilities need to come under an arts authority because I think there are so many efficiencies that accrue to that sort of approach to this." Lindstrand said after a presentation by the Bailey Theatre Society to council in September that he does not see facilities like the Bailey Theatre being able to operate in the black.

"That might not be a popular thing with other council members, but to me it is realistic to think that a facility like this is going to need support," he said. "There is still going to be a blow at the end of the day and I am certainly prepared to look at that." Councillor Greg Wood told council that the Camrose Performing Arts Centre governing board is looking at synergies between the Bailey Theatre and CPAC but is probably three or four months away from flushing out budgets and seeing how those synergies are going to work. "We are optimistic that we are going to get some synergies happening here, but unfortunately it is not going to be timely enough, in some respects, for the Bailey at this point." Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger, in a letter to Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers prior to council's September meeting with the Bailey, said the Bailey Theatre and CPAC form a complementary package. "They are very different venues, each with its own strengths. In combination, they offer the

possibility of coordinated scheduling. In combination they will create an arts corridor in Camrose with anchors on both the north and south ends of 50 Street. This will richly benefit the many businesses in between. In addition, the Bailey and CPAC will be able to share technical and planning expertise, creating savings for both. Without the Bailey, I am convinced CPAC will become a weaker, not a stronger enterprise." The Bailey Theatre Society is continuing to advertise for a full-time professional to assume the role of community relations and fund development coordinator. Contact has been made, as well, with a sponsorship facilitator who may be interested in representing the Bailey Theatre on a more provincial level. McLean said the Bailey Theatre has been very busy since September with performances. "You cannot read either one of our local newspapers without the Bailey being mentioned many times. The Bailey is quickly becoming an entertainment destination for Camrose and east central Alberta and beyond. When I was manning the donations table at the Matt Anderson event I had the opportunity to speak to people from Leduc, St. Albert and Edmonton. They were all very pleased with the facility and planned on returning for future events." McLean said that tourism dollars are happening in Camrose because of the Bailey. "When the Camrose Performing Arts Centre is operating the two facilities will be able to program different types of shows that are best suited to each theatre's physical space and format. Councillor John Howard offered the reminder that the City of Camrose has already committed $1 million to the Bailey Theatre. "The original ($500,000) was paid out early to keep the project moving," he said, "and there was an additional $500,000 which was for capital, in keeping with the original council decision that there would be no funds for operations." The Bailey Theatre Society request was deferred to council's 2013 budget discussions.

City moving ahead with Visitor Friendly plan By Dan Jensen

City council has asked City administration to start working with Tourism Camrose, City Center Camrose and other community organizations on the implementation of initiatives identified in a Visitor Friendly Detailed Action Plan. Developed following the completion of a Visitor Friendly Camrose Assessment Report with a grant and contribution of $3,500 from the City, the plan identifies the need, among other things, to develop a streetscaping strategy with particular emphasis on community entrances, maintenance practices in the downtown area, a program to support facade and signage improvement, a strategy to increase animation within Mirror Lake Park, a

branding program, standardized professional and customer service, a coordinated approach to tourism through sound planning, and public programming opportunities that encourage visitors' engagement. Of the 34 initiatives identified, 21 directly involve the City. "There are a lot of good tourism ideas in the plan," said City manager Damian Herle in an oral summary for council. "In some cases I think a group or collaboration has to take place in order to effect some of these plans. I don't think one group or one representative can accomplish that much in and of themselves. A group of several heads put together would be much stronger in terms of doing that. I think if there is one sure way of us getting this wrong it is to

leave it up to just one group by themselves; yo do it without collaboration from others." Herle feels the development of signage is a very viable undertaking and fits with the budget discussions council has had on the matter during budget discussions. He said the various City departments – engineering, planning, economic development and public works – can be involved in the discussions. Projects that would require some financial commitment from City council, said Herle, are those that involve steetscaping and the beautification of public areas, the development of a brand, and public washrooms in the 4900 block of 49 Street. Committee of the whole council has discussed the public washrooms during budget deliberations but as of yet has

authorized no additional funding or improvements. Tourism Camrose coordinator Hazel Cail cautioned against making Tourism Camrose solely responsible for the plan's implementation. "To strike committees and sub committees to look after all of that when jurisdiction of a lot of it has nothing to do with us, other than input, makes it difficult for us to drive something," said Cail. "I totally agree with Damian that it needs to be a collaborative effect and collaborate approach. We are very willing and welcome to sit at the table with everyone but I can't see that we can be the driver of all of it." Herle noted that any matters with budget implications would be reported back to council.

Councillor Earle Berry said while the Visitor Friendly Detailed Action plan identifies a lot of things that need to be done, they don't have to be done all at once. "I think what I would like to see is that we take a look and start somewhere, even if it is just one of the things, and get going with it. It could be signage, it could be any one of them but I know that signage is something we have discussed and all feel a definite need for. If we get done with one we can put another one on the table and start going with that." Herle said the City of Camrose wouldn't turn down anyone who is interested in serving on a subcommittee to discuss the plans.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Words of wisdom from a Snow Angel I loved the “Snow Angel’ story which appeared on the front page of the Edmonton Journal last Tuesday, Nov. 13. Because it was so unusual, it truly deserved to be front page news – right beside the major story of the merger of two retail giants: The Brick and Leon’s furniture chains. The Snow Angel, Andrew Nykilchuk, was pictured resting on a snowy bench with a hand-held snow blower in his lap. Proof of his Snow Angel status is a lapel pin presented to him six years ago by the City of Edmonton Snow Angel program – a program which encourages volunteers to remove snow for seniors and persons with disabilities in their neighbourhoods. And, earlier this year, the City of Edmonton presented Mr. Nykilchuk with a certificate citing him for ‘Being A Good Neighbour’. Andrew Nykilchuk is not the only Snow Angel in Edmonton nor is he the only Good Neighbour. What makes his story newsworthy and unique is that he is 92 years old and still clearing the snow off the walks to the front doors and on sidewalks in front of the homes of his neighbours, all younger than he is. According to the Journal story, he makes an effort to do it before his neighbours have to be off to work in the morning but, if not, it will be done by the time they get home. Mr. Nykilchuk says he enjoys helping others but adds that removing snow is a benefit to him as it gets him out in the fresh air and keeps him active during the winter. In addition to Mr. Nykilchuk being 92 years old and still clearing snow, he said something else that makes his story really extraordinary and worthy of the front page. He said he shovels snow to help his working neighbours who are paying for his retirement. What he says is true but it’s rarely that we hear a retired person say it. Old Age Security payments come out of general revenue that comes from the taxes paid by employed persons. That worked quite well back in the days when there were five or more persons working for every one Canadian receiving Old Age Security. Now that aging baby boomers are rapidly changing the proportion of retired persons to the number employed – fast approaching only two employed for every one retiree – something has to change. It’s obvious that adjustments must be forthcoming and Mr. Nykilchuk’s works and words have helped us make the connection between taxes collected from the younger folks and Old Age Security payments. These younger workers are the children and grandchildren of seniors, themselves faced with the challenges associated with buying a home, feeding, clothing and educating children, and saving for their own retirements. Household debt in Canada is dangerously high. According to the latest news releases, Canadians spend $163 dollars for every dollar they earn. Our federal government debt is also high and continuing to grow as each year we add another deficit budget. It is impossible to reduce debt by borrowing. Whether as individuals or governments, we must learn to live within our means or face eventual bankruptcy as is already happening in other countries with disastrous consequences. Let us think about these things! May we not lose sight of the connection between our seemingly insatiable desires for entitlements, the taxes and/or debt required to provide them, and the consequences of the choice we make!

Some of my city friends are surprised by the content of Bill 2 – Responsible Energy Development Act and have asked how did Albertans lose their voice with respect to the most important industrial activity taking place in our province? How? By not paying attention to what has been happening since the EUB was caught spying on landowners, and no-one was held accountable. Many rural Albertans did pay attention, but many urban people saw the whole “land-use bills” thing as a rural landowner issue that wouldn’t affect them. This is just the latest in a series of legislation, designed to eliminate annoying input from any ‘stakeholders’ other than industry. It started back in 2006 with Bill 46, which came about after the government was caught spying on landowners opposing a transmission line. Next was Bill 19, the Land Assembly Project Area Act, and when that was debated on April 21, 2009, the amendment to add the words that a project should be “in the public interest” was defeated by all Tory MLAs, including our own in Battle River Wainwright. Then along came the massive Bill 36, which further eroded the avenues for citizen participation, giving all the final decision making authority to cabinet, then Bill #50, which let cabinet approve the transmission lines that ATCO and AltaLink wanted – untendered and without a needs assessment. Next was Bill #24 to take control of “pore space” so industry can get rid of their CO2 by sequestration without landowner interference. We already have no say on whether a project should go ahead or where or when or anything else and now step by step they are eliminating any process that will allow us to make a fuss about it. Bill #2 did not just appear, it is the next step that allows one industry to dictate what happens, without any accountability, and that affects every aspect of all our lives in this province. And how much do you want to bet the new "government-appointed board of directors, complete with CEO,” will include one or more of the other cronies that put all this in motion. This is not all about landowners and or industry. This is about treating all Albertans with respect, and making sure we are

all included in the decision making process. Midge Lambert VP Alberta Party Kelsey, AB

There is enough medical and scientific evidence to answer that if only we choose to examine it. Gail Schulte, Camrose

Pro-Life

Thoughts on Mr. Baker's reply to Pro Life Mr. Baker, in his Nov. 6 “Reply to Pro Life,” wrote, “… only religious irrationality would allow a person to suddenly assign a value to this zygote equal to a living human being such as myself.” His argument is “human beings have value, a zygote/embryo is not a human being, and therefore a zygote/ embryo can be killed.” To support his point Mr. Baker indulges in reductionist reasoning, reducing a human being to a baby, to a fetus, to a zygote, to sperm and egg. He could continue to a cell or even the minerals which constitute the cell. The argument is nothing more than a rhetorical device to define human life as mere chemistry. And, of course, he never says when mere chemistry suddenly transforms into a “living human being.” Even if we accept his belief that life is nothing more than chemistry, does that justify abortion? I would say not. Darwinian evolution measures success by reproductive volume. If reproductive volume (children) is the measure of success then anything which prevents reproduction is bad. Since no one has devised a method of reproduction which bypasses the zygote/embryo stage then abortion is bad. Furthermore, Mr. Baker is making what we might call a ‘moral’ argument for abortion. He uses terms such as value, freedom, right, equality, ideal, etc., to support his argument that unrestricted access to abortion is a morally desirable goal. However, it has long been recognized that moral values are purely subjective in an atheistic universe. Morality evolves over time so what is ‘bad’ today might be ‘good’ tomorrow. This is not to say a moral argument does not appeal to us, we think in moral terms even when we deny objective moral standards. But if a moral argument is to communicate something more than whim, fashion, or preference it needs an objective standard of ‘good.’ Without an objective standard we are left with nothing more than what law professor Arthur Allen Leff called “The Grand Sez Who.” As Leff wrote, “I will put the current situation as sharply as possible: there is today no way of ‘proving’ that napalming babies is bad except by asserting it (in a louder and louder voice) …” In my opinion logical consistency is not a virtue in Mr. Baker’s belief system. Perhaps that’s why we are being treated to the spectacle of a man scolding two women for waging a “war on women.” What he is really saying is that his personal preference trumps their personal preference, so they better just shut up. Dave Gosse, Camrose

I find Arnold Baker's "reply to Pro Life" to be somewhat incoherent. He does say that a zygote is an ovum fertilized by a male sperm but somehow denies that it is living or human. Science tells us that a species can reproduce only its own kind so the zygote must be human (or of the species, homo sapiens). Zygote, embryo, fetus are simply words describing stages of the development of a living, growing organism. Dead things don't grow. The preborn are not part of their mother's body; they are a separate entity with their own DNA and a unique, never-tobe-repeated set of fingerprints (Grade 12 biology, Alberta curriculum, Unit B: Reproduction and Development). For a majority of women, abortion is not a free choice. The Elliot Institute (see "Forced Abortion in America – A Special Report") found that 64 per cent of women/girls "choosing" abortion were coerced, usually by boy friends/husbands or parents. Coercion often involves violence and even death as in the case of Winnipeg's Roxanne Fernando, who was beaten to death by her boy friend after refusing to abort their child. Abortion can entail complications and long-term effects, including hemorrhage, perforated uterus, increased risk of breast cancer, future infertility, emotional/psychological difficulties, self-destructive behaviour, etc. It also affects men who later regret lost fatherhood (see "Women's Health after Abortion: the Medical and Psychological Evidence"). Mr. Baker seems to think that late-term abortion does not happen in Canada. Not so. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, a child is viable after 20 weeks' gestation. While only about 45 per cent of hospitals report gestational age, it is known from the reports that at least 400 post-viability abortions take place in Canada each year. The actual number is most probably more than twice that since 55 per cent of hospitals do not report gestational age (see Statistics Canada, 2009). As Canadians with no laws regarding abortion do we want to be in the same league as North Korea and China, countries wellknown for human rights abuses ranging from imprisonment for criticizing the one child policy (see Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng), restrictions on freedom of speech, association, and religion to discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS, harassment of homosexuals, illegal adoptions and child trafficking (see Human Rights Watch, World Report 2012: China)? The real question, which Member of Parliament Stephen Woodworth wanted to address, is: "What are the unborn if not human?"

Fill the air with warm wishes People spend a good amount of time and money selecting gifts for their loved ones, taking special care to suit the needs of the individual. The same amount of care should be given when thanking those who have been so gracious. Any form of thanks is always appreciated, but making someone feel as though

they have made it a smart and meaningful purchase is a gift in itself. Instead of hastily choosing a package of thank you cards, pick a card for each individual, having your thank you come truly from the heart. Have pictures taken of each of you unwrapping your gifts.

In the thank you card, enclose a photograph of the person’s gift being opened, worn or displayed. Those who have access to equipment for videotaping the festivities may opt for an elaborate thank you. A mini-film of gift unwrapping time, plus oncamera reactions will absolutely thrill the gift giver.

Perhaps no holiday tradition is more visible than decorative lights. Whether on the house or on the tree in the front picture window, holiday lights help create a festive mood for all. While aesthetically appealing, holiday lighting displays can also be quite dangerous. Older lights or poorly planned lighting projects can quickly turn tragic. However, this much beloved holiday tradition does not have to cease and desist. Instead, some simple safety precautions are all it takes to ensure this year's lighting display is both stunning and safe. – Make sure exterior lights are designed for outdoor use. Not all lights can handle the elements, so those old Christmas tree lights might not be able to enjoy a second life as part of a home's exterior lighting decor. – Plug lights directly into the electrical sockets rather than relying heavily on extension cords. Employ surge protector strips if there are not enough outlets available. Before plugging anything in, consult the fuse box to determine how much each circuit can safely handle. – Don't use damaged lighting sets, including those with frayed strings, unstable connections, exposed wires, or broken or cracked sockets. – Make sure all external lights are securely attached. Wind can do significant damage to bulbs, which can lead to additional safety risks. As a precaution, attach all lights firmly to

walls or anything else that will not blow away when a stiff wind arrives. – Inside the home, be extra careful when using an artificial Christmas tree. Electric lights should never be used on a metallic tree. – Routinely check all cords' temperatures. If a cord feels too hot, unplug it and find a replacement. – Don't leave the lights on when no adults are home. If the home is empty or if just kids are home, make sure the lights are off. Avoid using timers that automatically turn the lights on, as it's possible they will turn on when no one is home. Unplug all cords when going away for the holidays just to be safe. – Make sure all cords are visible. Don't bury cords underneath rugs or floor mats to avoid personal injuries. – Hanging lights shouldn't be a solo project. Whether hanging lights inside or outside, never do so alone. A stiff wind might come along and blow the ladder away or an unstable ladder might lead to a fall. Accidents happen when hanging lights indoors as well, so make sure to have an adult partner on hand to avoid injury. – Make sure kids cannot reach lighting displays. Kids often adore holiday lighting displays and their natural curiosity is to reach for lights. Avoid potential accidents by keeping lights well beyond the reach of children.

Smart shopping tactics * Try to shop in the early morning, before the salespeople have become overwhelmed and stocks depleted; you’ll be less tired then, too. * Go shopping with your list in hand or at least a game plan; this is no time to let inspiration be your guide.

* Before you start, stock up on stamps, batteries, film, glasses, paper products and any other staples you might need. If you intend to give gifts from the kitchen or entertain, this is also the time to pick up the nonperishable items and beverages.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER November 20, 2012

hat a glorious time was had at the Grand Opening of the Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino. We’re still basking in the afterglow. The doors were thrown open to our Regal Ballroom on Thursday, November 15 to launch an exciting new era in Camrose hospitality.

We received rave reviews for the astonishing selection of food enjoyed at this gala event … oysters on the half shell, beef tenderloin, roasted lamb chops, sushi, shrimp cocktails, duck comfit, Yorkshire pudding … this evening proved to be a gourmet’s dream come true thanks to the talents of Chef Michael Card and his team of amazing culinary experts. The evening was lavish and epic and your overwhelmingly complimentary comments were extremely rewarding to all of us on the management team here at the hotel and casino. Thank you for bringing the hotel to life for an unforgettable evening. All of us hope to see you and serve you very soon.

Alice Hotel supporting Movember By Murray Green

The staff at the Alice Hotel wanted to help collect funds for Movember's prostrate cancer drive, so they came up with two events. "We wanted to help the Movember campaign and we broke it down to two events. The first one is our Grey Cup Party on Sunday, Nov. 25. My waitresses and I, we have six on staff, decided to donate our tips for the day to help with prostrate cancer research," said Barb Anderson of the Alice Hotel. "Our boss, Kevin Boyko, decided to match

the amount we raise. We will have the game on the big screen television and we will have free hamburgers." A donation box will also be set up for anyone wishing to donate extra funds to prostrate cancer. The party will start around 2 p.m. and go until after the game. "The second part of it will be on the following Friday during Midnight Madness. We will be having a moustache contest that night and it will be for the most creative and the best design rath-

er than the fullest," said Barb. "We will be having some fundraising events and food to generate funds for prostrate cancer. We haven't worked out all of the details yet. We will have events like having your photograph taken with a mustache for a toonie." The Midnight Madness evening jam event will begin at 8 p.m. on Nov. 30 and go until after midnight. "We are having an evening jam to provide music," added Barb. "We wanted to do our part for Movember and prostrate cancer. "

Bailey overdue for this Blues band Submitted

The Overdue Blues Band will be hitting the Bailey Theatre stage on November 20. This band was created from a dynamic musical partnering from a local jam, late October 2011. Instant camaraderie of the members made it apparent this endeavor was going to be taken further. The band members forming the group are seasoned veterans in the music scene, each bringing a diverse approach in their craft. Dean Bruce fuses his influences of Buddy Guy, Freddy King, Johnny Winter and Rory Gallagher into a unique and fiery blues/rock guitar style. Bruce Jacobson has been playing guitar for 40 years landing him in lots of groups in many genres. Blues and southern rock remain his favourites and his influences include Pat Travers, Frank Marino, Billy Gibbons and George Thorogood. The bassist, Denis Boisvert cut his teeth with numerous rock bands in Quebec, Chilliwack and Red Deer. New to the blues, Denis is bringing a fresh and funky groove to the band. The newest addition is drummer Charlie Barnicott. After playing in cover, rock and rockabilly bands he relocated to Alberta and did fill-in and session work. Tracy Wells, vocals, was selected to perform at the Calgary Blues Festival after performing at the mid-winter blues vocal camp. The debut threesong demo Unleashed sold out and has received radio play on the syndicated radio show ATC Blues. Other shows highlighting the band's roster this year have been an outdoor show for the City of Red Deer, a fund-raiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Society and, most recently, have become finalists in the Memphis Blues Bound Contest held by the Edmonton Blues Society. The Overdue Blues Band will be performing for Tuesday Bluesdays, November 20, at the Bailey Theatre. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the door. For more information visit bluesdays.ca

Government addresses challenges Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson is inviting local organizations to help find new initiatives to shape social policy in Canada. “Our Conservative government will partner with organizations, businesses, and not-forprofit organizations to build further momentum around social innovation and social finance tools to address challenges faced by many communities in Canada, and right here in our riding,"

said Sorenson. "We are trying to broaden horizons and think outside the box to leverage new avenues for solutions. “This is a Human Resources and Skills Development initiative as announced in Economic Action Plan 2012. We want to explore social finance, with the goal of eventually testing new methods of addressing existing social and economic challenges in communities across Canada. Social finance

is about mobilizing private capital to achieve social goals, creating opportunities for investors to finance projects that benefit Canadians and realize financial gains." Organizations are invited to submit innovative ideas to help shape future social policy in Canada. Ideas will be accepted until December 31, 2012.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories at a challenging evening of theatre

#1 3810 48 Avenue Located in the AVU Building Camrose, Alberta 780-672-2277

By Dave McDougall

Haroun and the Sea of Stories presents an audience with a challenging evening of theatre. To describe it as taxing for the viewer, as well as performers, may be an understatement. While the play is energetic and visually provocative, its condensed story line with its extreme complexity, meteoric scene changes, and sudden alterations, create moments of confusion for members of the audience. The narrative is one where characters both speak of themselves while addressing others. They also report their actions while performing them. It is not a typical stage performance. The play, written by Salman Rushdie, has attempted to create a “Dr. Seuss meets the East” and succeeds in arriving at one of the most complicated and unfathomable stories ever attempted on stage. The large number of characters and plots, sub-plots, imagery, motifs and twists presents one with an evening of Brechtian bewilderment. At the end, we take away a feeling of emptiness. It is with great irony that one of the main characters states that his storytelling holds the audience in the palm of his hand. This is not to say that it was not a valiant attempt on behalf on the part of director and cast to present this piece. Paul Johnson has great skill as a director, as evidenced by his body of work in this community. He has probably made the right decisions as far as choosing minimalist sets for this play. The predominant color is black. But is there a more obvious choice than this, to back a play so obtuse? The costumes are vivid for what is supposed to be a child's adventure, and some use of fabrics are nice touches also. Lighting, at times, seemed overly dim. The staging of the play went from static to frenetic with no real linkage to any meaning that was obvious to the viewer. The use of on stage sound was a very nice touch and generally blended well with the performance. Finally, it must be said that plays such as these may stretch the acting experience of the students involved, but it can be a hollow victory for the cast if the audience cannot connect to the hero who, in the end, triumphs over a myriad of challenges. Theatre, in this reviewer's estimation should connect with an audience and take us on a journey. This play did neither. The acting, for the most part, is good. Some of the more impressive performances include Dan Shepherd as Butt the Hoopoe. His skill is evident as he becomes a rather engaging character with his almost eccentric interpretation of the character. Levi Borejko, as Haroun, gives a sufficiently energetic performance and shows promise as an actor who can engage an audience under happier circumstances. Richard Boness gives us a capable interpretation of Rashid and demonstrates skill in his work. Ally Larson must be given credit for at least paying attention to projecting her voice and articulating, which contributed to her successful performance of Snooty Buttoo. The ensemble did some very nice chorus work, but must be cautioned that the audience is hearing the play for the first time when they attend and vocal skill must be employed. My viewing partner thought that the title character's name was Haroo. Augustana Drama may have to ask, with the pending opening of a brand new performing arts centre to fill, just who their audience is and what does this audience expect? A story and engaging characters might be a start. Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie, Tim Supple, and David Tushingham plays at the Augustana Theatre Centre Nov. 22-24 at 7:30.

Brigantia Place has a busy year By Dan Jensen

The fallout from family violence is something that Brigantia Place deals with every day of the year. The number of women and children who have sought refuge at Brigantia Place (Camrose Women's Shelter) since April of this year is 266. Sixty-six families have had to be turned away due to the shelter being full. "It's sad to see," said Brigantia Place executive director Loretta Johnson. "Your heart goes out to all of them, but especially the children." The number of calls received by Brigantia Place since April in which women have requested requesting shelter is 418. The number of calls received in which women have sought crisis support is 208. "In October we had 64 crisis calls from families needing emergency shelter to escape domestic violence," said Camrose Women's Shelter Society program director Jessica Glimm. Brigantia Place provides the basic needs of food and clothing and shelter, as well as supportive counselling, referrals, safety planning and life skills groups. It also offers a Kindergarten to Grade 9 school program on site that is supported by the Battle River School Division, a pre-school program and childcare. Since April, the child care program has served 140 children and 68 moms. "We serve a large catchment area of surrounding communities," said Johnson. "The shelters closest to us are in Lloydminster, Red Deer and Sherwood Park." An outreach program assists women and children once they leave the shelter has served 136 children since April. "Almost half of the families that take up residence here sign in to the outreach program before relocating out in the community," said Glimm. "Outreach clients are offered a variety of different services,

which include home support, crisis, general and family counselling, phone or home check-ins, and group support. On average, services are provided for approximately three to six months, however extensions are often requested."

"Many times they don't have a way of getting here unless they can find a family member or someone in their community that can transport them to Camrose," said Johnson. "It also makes it difficult for the women from out of town who are receiving services from

"Showing mothers the effect family violence has on their children sometimes displays how staying, for the children, can actually be a more harmful avenue for their children's health than leaving the abuser." Brigantia Place gives women a chance to connect with others who have experienced similar situations and have gone on to gain independence through a Coffee and Conversation group. "This group, in particular, gives us the opportunity to develop a strong sense of rapport with in-house women, in turn increasing the chance of clients signing up to become part of the outreach program," said Glimm. The preschool program at Brigantia Place was developed just within the last year so that mothers would be able to access the supports available in the community. "We were providing child care but we thought that we would enhance that service with a pre-school," said Johnson. "It allows us to get children involved in activities that better inform and support them. We know that the children who come here are traumatized and need the support just as much as their mothers do. We are hoping that the programs and support we can give them while they are here will have a positive impact on their lives into the future." The discontinuation of the Greyhound service has presented difficult challenges for the women who have required Brigantia Place services.

Brigantia to smoothly integrate back into their own community." Brigantia Place is currently looking at getting involved in providing programs to young girls and guys that will help them be aware of the negative impacts of abusive relationships. "We are thinking there might be an opportunity to work with young people," said Johnson. "There is a lot of prevention work that can be done in the high schools. Eventually they are the ones that will be in relationships, and from a prevention perspective I think it is important to inform them of the services available and the behaviours that they see so they can understand how those things are affecting their lives. Traumatized children become traumatized parents and in many cases continue the cycle." Glimm believes the crisis intervention workers and program workers make a big difference to the women and children. "They work the 24-hour crisis line, ensuring the 24 hours a day seven days a week residential services and work one on one with the outreach department to sustain long term independence for the women who leave the shelter." Glimm feels the work done

at Brigantia Place is imperative to ending family violence. "We work as a team to expose and teach women the effects of family violence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; physical, emotional, psychological and neglect â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has on their children. Showing mothers the effect family violence has on their children sometimes displays how staying, for the children, can actually be a more harmful avenue for their children's health than leaving the abuser. Frontline workers help moms develop trust in community services and agencies and educate them during our in-shelter programmimg, which supports our mission of ending the cycle of abuse in their lives." Glimm said the steps women take to leave an often-time controlling and violent situation is often so difficult. "The compassionate staff at Brigantia Place offers support for these women to regain their self-esteem, self-worth and confidence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enabling them to become independent and safe from violence." Brigantia Place received approval for a Community Facility Enhancement Program grant which made possible the completion of facility upgrades. The replacement of the flooring improved the overall environment of the shelter and enabled easier cleaning and upkeep. Brigantia Place continues to be grateful for the support it has received from members of the community who have been willing to donate time and money. "The generosity of Camrose and surrounding areas is amazing," said Johnson. "Our shelter programs are continually supported by a wide range of community partners and individuals, which we see as necessary partners with us in providing a safe haven for the women and children we serve."

ROTARACT CLUB FUNDS SHELTERBOX PROGRAM Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Camrose Rotaract Club presented Rotary president-elect Dawn Anderson with $1,000 to hold fund shelter boxes. The Canadian government will match the grant to bring it up to $2,000. Rotaract members Emilie Kerr, from left to right, Andrea Farnham, Matt Wilton, Kjeryn Davis, Derrick Lindball, Clark Mackay, Janeece Mackay, Ashley Kambeitz, Stephen Kambeitz, Ryan Stang, Michelle Macleod and Shelby Bianic surround Dawn and her son. The Camrose Rotaract Club raised these funds through the annual duck race, sales from the "Four Seasons of Rose City" photo book which is available at the Camrose Chamber Office, and various other events.

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes

Mayor Marshall Chalmers and Councillor Ray McIsaac were two of the participants in the first Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event. By Dan Jensen

Camrose and area men are being given another chance to "strut their stuff." The Camrose Women's Shelter Society will be holding its second annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes during the intermission of a Kodiaks' game in Encana Arena Jan. 12. Walk a Mile in Her Shoes is an event designed to raise awareness of domestic violence and raise funds for the Camrose Women's Shelter Society. Men who participate walk one mile in red high heeled shoes on the walking track that rings the bowl of seats. "It's a tough task but not as tough as the decision many women have to make when they leave an abusive situation," said Camrose Women's Shelter Society executive director Loretta Johnson. The first Walk a Mile in Her Shoes raised featured the mayor, chief of police, fire chief and many businessmen. The amount raised when all was said and done was approximately $24,000. "We were really pleased with the response we received from organizations and individuals in the community," said Johnson. "Community members are starting to realize that they can actually have a role in providing services. The money we receive from initiatives like this enables us to deliver services at full capacity." A new feature to the Walk in A Mile In Her Shoes event this year will be a silent auction. Anyone who has items he or she would like to donate to the auction, or who would like to participate as a walker, sponsor or volunteer, is encouraged to call Jessica Glimm at 780-672-4976, or Marsha Johnson at 780-679-4978. Anyone who makes donations of $20 or more will be provided with a tax deductible receipt.

Depleted Buffaloes herd fights to the end By Murray Green The Camrose Buffaloes bantam football squad reached the provincial finals before it could be halted by the Grande Prairie Broncos, 10-6. After a scoreless opening quarter, Grande Prairie hit the scoreboard first with a touchdown. The Broncos slowly gained momentum in the second half when they trapped the Buffaloes deep and conceded the points

to gain field possession. Grande Prairie added a single point on a missed field goal. Despite battling 42 horses with only 18 players in the Camrose herd, the Buffaloes scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter to close the gap. The twopoint convert was unsuccessful. "It was a great defensive battle, with every player playing well, and it was a hard end to

a great season," said coach Carl Davidse. This marks the third time in four years the Buffaloes have had a provincial playoff birth, and the second time in the last two. "We had a few first year players who really stepped up and played well," added Carl. "The end of this season is special for Connor Pearson and Michael Davidse, as they played on the first official atom team

in Camrose. They are the first players to play eight consecutive seasons for the Buffaloes." The peewee and atom teams both lost out in semifinals. The bantam Buffaloes tore up the Sherwood Park Wolverines 32-0 in the semifinal contest. Camrose won despite having only 17 players on the roster for that game.

Green captures novice saddle bronc title By Murray Green

Layton Green of Meeting Creek was the only cowboy to stay on in the fifth round at the Canadian Finals Rodeo, Nov. 7 to 11. That feat gave him a national crown. Layton scored a 75 in the final round to garner the novice saddle bronc event. He won the first and fifth event and was second in the third round to earn $3,200 in the week and $11,589 in the CFR sanctioned rodeos. Brett McCarroll of Camrose and his partner Kevin Schreiner had a fast time of 5.4 seconds in the team roping event to hit a good pay day at the finals. The

pair received $3,714 each and had a time of 42.6 seconds on five animals. It was the third fastest time for teams who roped five calves. No team roped all six. Clark McCarroll of Daysland and Jordan Dodds of Ponoka roped four calves in 49.5 seconds to finish out of the money. Garrett Green of Meeting Creek placed 10th in the bull riding event. He scored an 82.75 in the second go-around, but was bucked off in the other five attempts. Although Garrett didn't take home any money in Edmonton, he earned $24,968 this year.

Cody Cassidy of Donalda grabbed all six steers he jumped in the steer wrestling event. His fastest time of 3.6 seconds came in the last round. Cody earned $17,535 on the weekend and $41,081 this year in the event. Curtis Cassidy from Donalda moved up to seventh in the tie down roping event for the year. He tied all six calves in Edmonton to earn the second most money in the finals. His best time was 8.5 seconds. Curtis earned $8,475 on the weekend and $35,708 for the season.

The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund has been supplying food hampers to needy local families since 1965. Last year the Merry Christmas Fund supplied 260 food hampers. "We anticipate around the same number this year and we need about $30,000 in donations to cover the cost of the food," said chairman Larry Schultz. "We fell short (fundraising goal)last year and had to use up the previous year's surplus. That has now been depleted and we are seeking $30,000 to cover the costs this year. The food was ordered in October and we have until Dec. 31 to pay the food bill." Donations can be made until Jan. 15, 2013, at the Royal Bank and at the Camrose Fire Department. "The names and amounts will be collected at the drop off points. We are a registered charity, so people will be mailed a tax receipt during the first two weeks in January," explained Larry. "Everyone who donated (those requesting a receipt) will have their tax receipt by the end of January, in time for the tax season."

The hampers are delivered to homes on Saturday, Dec. 22, in the morning. "We need volunteer delivery people and we are asking for volunteers to be in pairs to carry the food. We meet at the current fire hall starting at 9 a.m. and we hope not everyone arrives right at that time because we want to get people loaded and on their way," said Larry. "If we get enough helpers, we are usually done by noon. We always need help delivering the hampers. It is a good outing for families who want to expose their children to a way of getting them into the Christmas spirit and helping others." The food hampers are intended to provide a good Christmas meal and food for an entire day. "If someone wants to have a hamper delivered to them or a family, they have to register at the Neighbor Aid Center," offered Larry. The number at the centre is 780-679-3220. "The community has supported this project for many years and last year was the first time we fell short of our goal," said Larry. "We are looking for the community to rally and help us reach our fundraising objective."

Darrell Rosland By Murray Green

This impressively solid spacious character home in the Heritage District is a great project for someone willing to restore it back to its original grandeur. It is perfectly located close to downtown, churches and schools. The 1,890 square foot home was beautifully restored a few years ago; it just needs some care. It features fantastic archways and original wood mouldings around each doorway. The home is located in a nice central neighbourhood of restored homes. The front entrance leads to a porch and private flex room that would be ideal for music lessons or a home-based business. A

French door takes you inside the home to the large foyer. You will enjoy the huge living room with an attractive stained glass window. It contains a woodburning fireplace and it leads to another entertaining room, which features a French door to the grand dining room. The extra bright kitchen features plenty of windows, counter tops and cupboard space. It also has a wood fireplace. The kitchen garden door leads to the huge deck and is wheelchair accessible from the backyard. A grand wooden staircase leads to the upper level where you will find the master bedroom and two other good-sized bedrooms. All three bedrooms have plenty of closet space. A three-piece bathroom is an ideal place for an old- fash-

ioned tub. The upstairs has its own outside entrance. The basement contains a laundry room and plenty of storage area. The mature backyard offers a large deck, a single garage and a great place for several flower beds. This is a must see property to fully appreciate the potential and historic value of this century old home. You can view this character family home at 4818-49 Street during an open house on Wednesday, November 21, from 2 to 4 p.m.

This home is attractively priced to sell at $209,900. For a personal tour contact Darrell Rosland at: Central Agencies Inc. 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 or 780-679-2170 cell

The CAMROSE BOOSTER November 20, 2012

Decorate Your Home for Christmas Contest Camrosians are clearly in the Christmas spirit this year. Retailers report brisk sales of Christmas decor and gift shopping is obviously in full swing. With great fall weather, many homes are already reflecting the beauty and awe of the Christian holiday season. If you feel you have successfully captured the wonder of Christmas by decorating the front of your home, or if you know of somebody around town who has done a masterful job with lights or other means of holiday enhancement, we’d like to know. Telephone, email or fax us the address of any home you believe will provide joy for others. Each week now until Christmas The Camrose Booster will publish a list of addresses of decorated homes located within our simply irresistible city which are “must sees”.

Judging by a team with a keen eye for perfection On Wed. Dec. 12, a panel will travel to the address of every home which has been recommended to us by you and fellow readers of The Camrose Booster. Our judges - Mayor Marshall Chalmers, Sheila DeJesus, Carole May Coty and Tom Gerling will be accompanied by a real estate associate from the Re/Max sales team. It will be the responsibility of our judges to choose the home they believe to be most appropriately decorated for Christmas, 2012.

Get Decorating, Camrose! The Camrose Booster will pay $100 towards your Dec. power bill if your home is judged to be the best.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER November 20, 2012

Remembrance Days honours those who have served By Murray Green

We will remember them. Remembrance Day provided a good opportunity to reflect on those who served in wars and conflicts, so we enjoy peace. The service was held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on Sunday, Nov. 11. The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion saluted not only those who served in both world wars, but also those who were in conflicts such as Korea and Afghanistan. The audience heard about today's troops, who are ready for the next mission. "Our men and women in the Canadian forces are ready when called upon to aid communities, patrol our borders and to work with other nations to keep peace in the world," said Lt. Brandon Frizzell, a troop leader with the Lord Strathcona Horse (Royal Canadians). "No matter where our members come from, or what they believe in, we share one thing in common: the desire to be free. For the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who participated in conflicts from the War of 1812 to Afghanistan, the answer is a simple one. We need to stand up for what is right, even if it means that you could be harmed in some way." Lt. Frizzell is ready for such a mission. "Our squadron is on the road to high readiness right now to deploy to wherever the CAF (Canadian Armed Forces) wants us to go. Hopefully, we find out pretty soon." The role of the Canadian

Deputy Mayor Earle Berry laid a wreath on the cenotaph on behalf of the City of Camrose at the Remembrance Day service at Camrose Regional Exhibition.

Forces may have changed over the years, but the commitment has not. "Today, we stand united to remember the men and women of the Canadian Forces who have put themselves in harm's way to save others," said

Lt. Frizzell. "Here we stand to remember those who were lost along the way and those who have been left behind to carry on our work. And here we stand to celebrate the qualities that

have made us strong and giving people." Lt. Frizzell asked everyone to think about the past. "As we remember those who served this country, let us not forget the thousands more who continue

to serve us on land, at sea and in the air," added Lt. Frizzell. "They are our fathers, brothers, uncles and cousins. They are our mothers, daughters, friends and our neighbours. It doesn't matter where the Canadian soldiers have gone, whether its the desolate dessert of South Africa, the muddy European battlefields, the battered beaches of France, the turbulent waters of the North Atlantic, or other troubled parts of the world, Canadians continue to hold onto the belief that all people should be afforded the right to live, the right to freedom and the right to security without fear. This belief, along with the conviction that they are doing the right thing, continues to inspire our soldiers, sailers and airmen to hold the battle line to capture enemy strong points. They endure hardships to achieve objectives and the end goal, which is peace." To forget the actions of these brave Canadians would be forgetting our own past and to deny our place and responsibilities in today's global village. "Thus, we remember them. We recognize the veterans of the past and the veterans of today. Together, let us celebrate the qualities that have made us a strong and caring people." After the laying of wreaths, people stood and clapped in appreciation of veterans during the parade and march past.

Lady Vikings crush basketball opponents By Murray Green

Augustana's women's basketball team continued on its torrid pace as it crushed the Lethbridge Kodiaks 97-45 on Nov. 10 and St. Mary's 80-30 the previous evening. Against St. Mary's, Rachel Warrack led the balanced attack with 16 points. The Vikings were led on offence against Lethbridge by Emma Lowry who earned 20 points and Kelsey Lund who chipped in with 16 points. Augustana defeated the St. Mary's Lightning 89-62 on the strength of two players who netted 21 points each. David Shantz and Lee Danderfer led the offence along with Tony Nguyen who chipped in with 15 points. Michael Swampy exploded for 30 points for the Vikings men's squad in the Lethbridge game, but the team suffered a close 98-96 loss at the hands of the Kodiaks. Shantz also had a strong game for Augustana with 24 points. The Vikings are in Camrose for games against NAIT on Nov. 24. The women's game begins at 6 and the men follow at 8 p.m. Volleyball

The Augustana women's volleyball team earned a split with the Briercrest Clippers on Nov. 9 and 10. After a lack-lustre three- game sweep, the Vikings stormed back to win the second match in five games. Augustana lost the first match 25-17, 25-18 and 25-15. Jill Acorn, with six kills and five digs, and Taryn Gmitroski with five kills, an ace and five digs were the top Vikings. The women's team stepped it up in the next series as Augustana won 26-24, 25-23, 22-25, 21-25 and 19-17. Alana

Fahlman led the charge with 13 kills, five aces, 10 digs and two blocks. Keri Acorn chipped in with 13 kills, one ace and 14 digs. The men's team dropped both of its matches 3-1. In the first match, Nazheef

Gangji, with four kills, one ace, 11 digs and three blocks, and Kent Sanregret, with eight kills and 11 digs led the Vikings. Nazheef had an even better match in the second outing. He had 13 kills, two aces, 11 digs and

two blocks. Mark Willms played well in support with 14 kills and 10 digs. The Vikings are at home on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 when the Medicine Hat teams play at 6

and 8 p.m. on Friday and 1 and 3 p.m. on Saturday. The men's, women's and mixed Augustana curling teams will be heading to the fall regional bonspiel on Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 in Grande Prairie.

Junior Kodiaks on a roll, beat Okotoks on the road By Murray Green

Scott Feser scored twice and added an assist in the Camrose

'Kodiaks' first three goals to lead the team to a 4-1 victory over the Okotoks Oilers on Nov. 9.

out to a 2-0 lead five minutes into the contest. "Everything just seemed to be clicking for our line and going right," said Scott Feser. "I have been playing with more confidence lately, the last five or six games. It is good to have (Scott) Ferguson healthy because we have played together for a few years." The two Scott's have played together since bantam hockey in Red Deer. "When you play with someone that long, you have some chemistry. You learn their tendencies and it helps quite a bit," added Scott. "It's good to have him back." After Camrose made it 3-0, Okotoks tried to mount a comeback. The Oilers scored at the mid-way mark of the second period, but Camrose capped the comeback when Tanner MacMaster regained the three-goal margin. "Sometimes the bounces go your way and lately they have been helping us. As long as we keep working hard and compete, things can go our way and click," said Scott. "We have to keep working hard to make sure good things are going for us as a team." Okotoks outshot the Kodiaks 33-20, with goalie Matt Gibney playing a strong game by stopping 32 of 33 shots for Camrose. "It's huge to have a full line up and everyone healthy. It helps when you can go with whoever

is hot. This is the first time in a while that everyone is on the ice skating," said Scott. The Kodiaks took advantage of the lighter schedule last week. "It gave us extra time to work on the things we needed to. We like to keep playing games, but it is out of our control," Scott said. "We just have to keep practicing and prepare for the next game. We look at it as a positive and keep going." One thing the club has been focusing on is being prepared to play full tilt at the drop of the first puck. "It is huge to set the tone of the game early and our line was able to do that," said Scott. "Before we were always down early and it's tough to come back all of the time. We were playing well, but sometimes it was too much to come back from. If you can score early and set the tone then that is pretty big." Camrose traded the rights to Dylan Schellenberg to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (BCHL) for future considerations. Camrose heads off on another road series before playing at home on Nov. 29 when the Drumheller Dragons arrive at the EnCana Arena. The Kodiaks also take on the Calgary Canucks on Nov. 30 in a home contest. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER November 20, 2012

Lars Harald Donald Welde Lars Harald Donald Welde was born on January 4, 1988 to Alan and Ilene Welde. Lars was the eldest of five children raised on the family farm near Miquelon Lake. He attended Kindergarten through Grade Nine at Round Hill School, and attended Hay Lakes School for Grades 10 through 12. We watched him grow from stuffed toys and Aladdin to a love for learning and discovery in a variety of disciplines including literature (especially science fiction), mathematics, history, music and science. Lars was a dedicated student who delighted in his studies and graduated as class valedictorian in 2006. Lars earned a Governor General’s Medal and Rutherford Scholarships, and was awarded a University of Alberta Dean’s Entrance Citation in Engineering. Lars completed a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a Biomedical Option at the University of Alberta. He convocated in April, 2011. Lars was proud to wear his Iron Ring. In September 2012, Lars enrolled in the Faculty of Education to become a senior high Math and Physics teacher. Lars’s earlier activities include piano lessons with Mrs. Terry Banack, seven years with Camrose Skating Club, ball with Round Hill and Armena Minor Ball teams, public speaking, cross country running and high school drama. Camrose area residents knew Lars as the polite young man who worked at Superstore during his high school years and university summers. His sense of challenge and adventure took him to Ottawa with Encounters With Canada in 2004, to the HYRS Program at the University of Alberta in 2005, and backpacking to England and France in 2010. He enjoyed his life on campus at the U of A, especially the floor activities, water polo, and dodge ball games. Lars shared a special bond with his brothers and his sister. Lars is the best definition of “big brother” we know – from movies and games to late-night discussions with Jacob, Annelise and Nels, to the countless hours Lars spent with Olav, his “Kiddo.” Lars was baptized into the Christian faith by Pastor Carl Kopperud at St. Joseph Lutheran Church in 1988, where he attended Sunday School, and was confirmed in 2001 by Pastor Gordon Jensen. Lars died suddenly on November 7, 2012 in a vehicle accident while traveling in adverse weather conditions to classes at the University of Alberta. We remember Lars as a young man of integrity, compassion, honesty, dry wit and quiet leadership; as a devoted son and brother; as someone whose word had insight and depth; as a friend worth knowing. Lars didn’t have the opportunity to land his “dream job” or come home in his yellow sports car, but we are so grateful that Lars was a member of our home and family for 24 blessed years. Lars was predeceased by his grandmother Helen Welda in 2003. Lars leaves to mourn his grandparents Donald Welda, and Harold and Shirley Miller; his parents Alan and Ilene; his brothers Jacob (Alix Signori), Nels and Olav, and his sister Annelise (Kris Lyseng); his uncles Craig, Grant, and Blayne, Fred (Sandy) and Kevin (Chris), and his aunts Cathy (Brent Pickard) and Linda (Kevin Berghs) and families; and numerous friends and relatives. Lars touched us in so many ways, and we are the better for it. Beloved child, brother and friend, no words can express how much we love you, how much we miss you, and how we yearn to hold you and hear you again. A public visitation was held on Tuesday November 13, 2012 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel. A Funeral Service was held on 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, November 14, 2012 from Messiah Lutheran Church with Rev. Jim Appleby officiating. Interment has taken place in St. Joseph’s Lutheran Church Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to St. Joseph’s Lutheran Church.

Ford Fusion features new design By Dan Jensen

The new Ford Fusion at Lamb Ford Sales offers leading fuel efficiency, helpful technolo-

gies and game-changing looks. "Our vision for Fusion was clear – deliver the very best of what One Ford stands for," said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president of Global Product Development. "We brought our global teams together around a blank slate with the charge to develop a midsize car with groundbreaking design and jaw dropping fuel economy – one that featured technologies to help make our customers safer and better drivers. This car is the result." Fusion is available in S, SE and range-topping Titanium models. Fuel efficiency The new Fusion is expected to deliver best-in-class fuel economy across customers' choice of gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid sub-segments, following through with the commitment by Ford to be the fuel-efficiency leader – or among the leaders – with each new model brought to the market. The 1.6 litre EcoBoost is expected to deliver best-in-class four-cylinder nonhybrid fuel efficiency of 9.05 litres per 100 km in the city and 6.36 litres per 100 km on the highway. The 2.0 litre EcoBoost engine – paired with a paddleshifted six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission, available 19-inch wheels and tires, and all-wheel drive with the ability to send additional torque to the rear – is the Fusion performance option. Looking out for you The all-new Fusion offers an unprecedented portfolio of driver assistance and convenience technologies based on sensors, cameras and radar that enable the car to see and respond. Fusion can help drivers maintain proper lane position, adjust vehicle speed to changing traffic conditions, identify suitable parking spaces, and help park, even aiding drivers

backing out of parking space where visibility is obstructed. The class-exclusive lane keeping technology consists of three elements to help a driver maintain proper lane position. Using a small, forward-facing camera behind the inside rearview mirror, the system "looks" down the road, monitoring lanes to determine that the car is on course. The system will alert a driver if drowsiness or erratic lane-keeping is detected. The second element warns the driver with a steering wheel vibration if the Fusion drifts too close to lane markings. Finally, lane-keeping aid will actually apply pressure on the steering wheel to help bring the car back into proper lane position. Using forward-looking radar, adaptive cruise control "looks" down the road when activated, slowing the Fusion when slower traffic is detected ahead. Adaptive cruise control enables collision warning with brake support to help slow the car if the potential of a crash is detected. Active park assist can identify a suitable parallel parking space, calculate the trajectory and steer the car to properly position it within the spot. All a driver needs to do is operate accelerator and brake pedals.

The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with cross-traffic alert uses sensors in both Fusion rear quarter panels to detect traffic in a driver's blind spot, providing both audible and visual warnings if traffic – unseen by the driver – is detected. BLIS technology enables cross-traffic alert, warning the driver of oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking space with obstructed views, such as between two large vans. The all-new Fusion offers the latest iteration of Ford's award-winning, industry-exclusive SYNC communications and entertainment system, which enables voice-activated communication through a driver's mobile phone and interaction with the car's audio system. Fusion also offers the latest version of MyFord Touch, allowing a driver to interact with vehicle systems through voice control, a touch screen tap or a conventional button. Both SYNC and MyFord Touch – powered by SYNC – help reduce the potential for driver distraction through voicecontrolled functionality, allowing drivers to keep hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. Different by design Fusion's sleek profile sets it apart from the powertrain/

cabin.trunk "three-box" designs synonymous with midsize sedans. The character lines sweeping to the rear and thin roof pillars suggest the car is nimble and light on its feet. Fusion demonstrates that a tasteful, well-executed design does not require add-ons or visual clutter. The headlamps, LED taillamps and polished exhaust tips communicate enhanced technological capability. Inside Inside, the new Fusion offers a sporty, driver-oriented environment with next-generation seating that brings expanded functionality. A higher centre console supports the driver-centric theme and yields clever storage for items a driver wants to keep handy. Additional passenger space was designed-in by moving the instrument panel toward the windshield, contributing to the cabin's airy, open environment. Thinner, lighter frames support the comfortable, nextgeneration seats, trimmed with fabric using recycled sustainable yarns. Interior surfaces are softer to the touch, and interior and exterior gaps are minimized, while extra care has been taken to upholster or cover each edge and every surface a

Dan Madison

customer can touch. When the trunk lid is opened, for example, a spring-loaded cover automatically conceals the trunk latch hardware. A driver's car Key contributors to how the Fusion feels are the ride and handling components that maximize vehicle dynamics. The specially tuned electric power-assisted steering, a MacPherson strut front suspension, and an all-new premium-level multilink rear suspension are comparable to Audi and BMW configurations. Interior quiet reaches a new level with acoustic underbody shields and weight-saving sound-absorption material. Both minimize road and powertrain noise while boosting aerodynamic efficiency to help save fuel. You can see the 2013 Ford Fusion at Lamb Ford Sales, 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose.

(MS) -- Automobiles can be very resilient. Drivers typically don't treat their cars with kid gloves, but most cars keep chugging along in spite of it. Of course, drivers who treat their cars well can expect to get as much in return from their vehicles. That's especially true when winter weather arrives, which is the harshest season vehicles must endure every year. Harsh weather coupled with less-thanideal roadways typically take their toll on a vehicle as the season progresses, and it's up to drivers to help their cars withstand the elements of winter and make it to spring in drivable condition. Short of moving to a locale that's warm and sunny 12 months a year, there's little drivers can do to avoid winter weather; however, there are several ways drivers can prepare their vehicles for the months ahead. * Address your antifreeze. Much like a winter coat protects people from winter weather, antifreeze protects vehicles when the weather outside is frightful. Not every antifreeze is created equal, and inadequate antifreeze can cause water pump failure and even a cracked engine block. Drivers often fail to monitor their antifreeze levels throughout the winter, which can hurt their cars and might even be harmful to the environment. Traditional ethylene glycol, or EG, antifreezes have a sweet smell and taste that attracts animals and, if ingested, can harm local wildlife or even household pets. Propylene glycol antifreeze does not boast a sweet smell or taste, and though safe if ingested, reduces the likelihood that animals will be drawn to it. * Check the vehicle's charging system. Car batteries are forced to work harder in cold weather, making it easier for a battery to die when the mercury drops. To avoid being stranded in the cold, ask your mechanic to check the vehicle's charging system before the onset of winter to ensure the battery is ready for the cold months ahead. * Don't tread lightly. Tire treads are especially important during the colder months, when

icy or snow-packed roads make driving a dangerous undertaking. Tires with adequate traction are better equipped to handle roads that might be covered in ice, dirt or grime from sand and salt trucks. Check tire pressure regularly, especially when the temperatures are colder, and always inflate tires to the manufacturer-recommended PSI. PSI ratings can often be found on the driver's side door. * Monitor motor oil. An engine is only as good as the motor oil that keeps it lubricated. Poor lubrication results in friction between engine components, ultimately leading to wear and potentially taking years off engine life. Drivers should regularly monitor their motor oil levels and adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines. When choosing a lubricant, look for a synthetic motor oil to maintain engine protection and performance. Synthetic motor oils provide significant benefits over their conventional counterparts, particularly in colder weather when conventional motor oil thickens as the temperature drops. When the mercury starts to sink, conventional motor oils can slow starting rpm, restrict oil flow to critical engine parts and increase wear on bearings and rings. Conversely, synthetic motor oils still flow or pump at temperatures as much as 50 below zero, allowing cars and trucks to start with greater ease. * Maintain visibility. Visibility is especially poor during the winter months when falling snow and dirt and grime are kicked up from the rear tires of other vehicles, making it difficult to see. To maintain adequate visibility throughout the winter, inspect wiper blades to make sure they are in peak condition. Be sure the blade fully clears the windshield of snow, rain and any other debris that might find its way into your driving line of vision. Never leave the house without enough windshield washer fluid in the reservoir, and keep an extra bottle of fluid in the trunk just to be safe. Winter driving conditions are rarely, if ever, ideal.

Take care with boosts

Having to get your engine battery boosted is a common occurrence during our long, cold Canadian winters. But boosting a battery is more dangerous than many of us realize. Being stuck in a parking lot with a dead battery when it’s 30 below is no laughing matter; neither is damaging your vehicle from a shoddy boosting job. In most cases, a simple boost will get the engine back up and running. But it’s important to remember that this can be a dangerous task. In fact, there is a specific method that should always be used when proceeding with this operation. First, consult your owner’s manual; it will outline all the steps you should follow to ensure you revive your engine effectively and safely. To do this, you need to have the right tools and that means using good quality cables. Any car expert will tell you that booster cables should be of high quality and in excellent condition. A damaged cable can cause injury or damage to both vehicles. Also keep in mind that poorly connected cables can cause batteries to explode. Finally, should you find yourself needing more than one boost this winter, have the battery and charging system checked. If your technician recommends that you replace the battery, take his advice very seriously.

Cars need to be washed in the winter, too If you think a car wash is only for sunny summer days, think again. Washing a car in the winter months can help it operate at peak capacity despite harsh weather. People take different tactics when it comes to washing their cars. Some prefer to hand wash their vehicles, taking care to primp and polish. While this might be easy when it is warm outside, cold weather can quickly zap ambition and actually make it downright painful to do so. Also, environmental experts tend to frown upon washing the car in the driveway because

of the water waste and chemical detergents running into storm sewers. Commercial car washes recycle and filter their water. Preventive car care is especially important when the cold weather sets in. The road additives -- such as salt and sand -- can wreak havoc on a car's paint, corrode the undercarriage of the vehicle and potentially rust the wheel wells. Keeping the car clean and waxed can protect the finish and help protect against scratches and marring from any winter road debris. Car corrosion damage is

especially common during the winter months. Prevention remains the best solution to corrosion, and a car wash is a preventative measure that takes little effort. Automatic car washes are a convenient way to clean a vehicle in the winter. However, these facilities tend to use harsh chemicals that eat through debris. This can result in swirling patterns and spotting on some cars. An alternative is to head to one of the self-wash carwash bays and bring along your own products or rely on theirs so that you will have a high-powered

water supply for rinsing. Even if you cannot do the cleaning job you would in the warmer weather, rinsing some of the salt and grime from the car, expecially underneath, can go a long way toward preventing corrosion. Before and after washing the car when it's below freezing, it's adviseable to use a deicing product on the doors and windows. If not, the windows might get stuck. Washing a car in a cold climate is not something many people enjoy, but it's a good way to keep a car running strong and looking good.

Thanks to global climate change, many of the weather patterns we've grown accustomed to in the past are no longer the norm today. It seems much of the country experiences shorter Date: 9-13-2012 11:30 AM than normal days of moderate Artist: OPTIC PREPRESS spring and fall weather, with seasons simply switching from scorching sun one moment to CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, BLACK chilly temperatures and snow the next. That means it's never too early to take a refresher course in preparing for safe winter driving. Winter weather takes all of the usual road hazards and steps them up a notch. Slippery roadways, congestion, road rage, pedestrian traffic -- all of these situations seem magnified when the weather is poor and daylight is waning. Although winter driving may be frustrating, there are ways to prepare for the season and prevent accidents and injuries. Prepare

It's important to check that a vehicle is in top shape before the cold weather sets in. Pay special attention to the tires. If tires are bald or their wear is signficant, that could prove hazardous on weather-slicked roads. Have tires replaced before the first snowfall. The same can be said when switching from regular performance tires to allweather or snow tires. Be sure to change all of the tires on the

Millions of motor vehicle accidents occur each year. While the motor vehicle industry places a great emphasis on safety, it's ultimately up to motorists to ensure their vehicle is as safe as possible. Mirrors are an often overlooked aspect of safe driving. Properly adjusted rearview and side view mirrors improve visibility by reducing blind spots, which in turn reduces a driver's risk of being in an accident, especially on multi-lane highways where drivers may be forced to keep tabs on fellow motorists on both sides of their vehicles. When adjusting mirrors, consider the following tips to ensure your vehicle is as safe as possible. * Ensure optimal visibility from the interior rearview mirror. A properly adjusted rearview mirror allows drivers to see what's alongside and behind them, improving road awareness while reducing the risk of an accident. Most drivers know the rearview mirror should allow them to see out of the rear window from the driver's seat. But it's also important to utilize the day/night switch found on most rearview mirrors. Such a switch isn't an unnecessary accessory, but one that can reduce glare from cars behind you at night. Just be sure to flip the switch back to the daytime setting in the morning to ensure maximum visibility. * Firmly secure the rearview mirror. Unfortunately, rearview mirrors are not always sturdy, as many vehicle manufacturers attach the rearview mirror to the windshield with a special button that is glued to the glass at the factory. This glue can come undone when drivers hit a pothole or just gradually weaken thanks to the ravages of heat, humidity or cold weather. * Don't overlook side view mirrors. A 1995 study noted that, when positioned correctly, side view mirrors can help drivers see vehicles in their blind spots, eliminating a driver's need to glance over his or her shoulder when changing lanes. When adjusting the driver's side mirror, place the side of your head against the window, then adjust the mirror until the side of your vehicle comes into view. To adjust the passenger's side mirror, sit in the driver's seat, and then lean to the right so that your head is in the car's centerline. Adjust the mirror until the side of your vehicle comes into view. Once your mirrors have been adjusted and the rearview mirror is firmly secure, don't forget to use each of these mirrors when driving. Many drivers rely solely on their rearview mirrors to back up and change lanes on the highway. However, if all of your mirrors are aligned correctly, you should be able to see a vehicle leave the rearview mirror and move to one of the side view mirrors immediately. Diligent use of each mirror can help prevent accidents that occur when drivers change lanes.

Prevent, treat headlight cloudiness to see better Headlights serve to improve visibility during nighttime driving conditions and inclement weather. They help drivers see and be seen by other motorists. When headlights are dull and cloudy, they can prove to be a

safety hazard on the road. Fortunately, there are ways to restore headlights to their full effectiveness. Driving during the day is easier than driving at night, when vision is easily compro-

mised. A human's visual field is much smaller in the dark, and it can be harder to spot road hazards, animals or people when driving at night. An improperly lit driving area can make it much more difficult to see. It also Starting @

the lenses to their original glory. Most of these kits use a series of buffers and polishers to gently buff out scratches and rid the headlights of oxidation. Because headlight lens replacement may cost upwards of $200 per lens, the kits are much more cost effective. A car owner can also perform similar maintenance with just a few items from the hardware store and automotive shop. Employ incremental grits of sandpaper to clean the headlights without causing further damage. In addition, cutting compounds and surface cleaners can be applied with electric buffers to clean the sandpaper grit and any other debris caught in the headlights. Plastic polishers can further increase the shine of the headlights and make them look new. The key to keeping headlights looking their best is to be on top of any damage taking place. Handling minor cloudiness is much easier than a complete headlight overhaul. Routinely inspect the headlights and check for damage.

impairs others' ability to see your vehicle coming and going. The number one reason for severe nighttime accidents and reduced driving safety is dim or cloudy and improperly lit headlights. There are a few different reasons for poor headlight illumination. In many instances, the headlight lamp has burned out and the light is no longer working. Old bulbs may dim and fail to provide the same level of illumination as they once did. Oxidized and cloudy headlight coverings are also a known contributor to diminished headlight function. Today's headlight lenses are made from plastic. While it may not be visible immediately, road debris and weather conditions can put small dings and scratches into the lenses over time. These small damages can add up to covers that look dingy and dull. Cloudiness also occurs as the result of exposure to ultraviolet light. Although newer cars have lenses that are supposed to resist scratching and damage, some dulling may occur. There are many headlight cleaning kits on the market that are quite effective at restoring

Stay abreast of new vehicle recall information Driving a new vehicle off of the sales lot can be exciting. Brand-new vehicles are supposed to be reliable and free from maintenance concerns. However, sometimes manufacturers recall a vehicle, forcing drivers to visit the auto body shop sooner than they had hoped. Vehicles are recalled for a variety of reasons, including

poorly performing tires, faulty pieces of motor vehicle equipment and unsafe child safety seats. It can be disconcerting to learn that your vehicle is being recalled. The uneasiness of driving a potentially dangerous vehicle coupled with the prospect of being without a car can be daunting. Vehicle manufacturers must

notify consumers that a recall is in place. But sometimes a vehicle owner may not be aware that there is a recall. In the event of large recalls, the story makes the national news. But there are other ways drivers can stay current on recall information to ensure their personal safety. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an arm

of the U.S. Department of Transportation, is a source of information on vehicle recalls. Their database dates back to 1966. The NHTSA provides information on equipment recalls, entire vehicle recalls, child safety seat recalls, and tire recalls. There also is information on school bus recalls. Individuals can visit www. Recalls.gov and select the catego-

ries they want to check. To check recalls on a particular motor vehicle, select that category, enter the make and model as well as the year, and the information about any recalls will appear. Recall information can help save lives and prevent injuries. It is important to be aware of recalls to ensure the vehicle you're driving is as safe as possible.

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.

The Augustana Vikings were met by a waiting defence and goalie when they tried to score on the Keyano Huskies on Nov. 10. The Vikings played hard but didn't score enough to pull out a win in a 3-2 game. By Murray Green

For the first time in three weeks, the Augustana Vikings hockey team failed to earn three points on the weekend. The Vikings defeated the visiting Keyano Huskies 5-3 on Nov. 9 in the EnCana Arena, but the rematch on Saturday afternoon didn't have the same zip for the Vikings. Augustana was down 3-1 to the expansion team before the Vikings responded with a power play marker in the third period to make the game close. "Even in the first game, we didn't play our best. We were dominating the game, but we weren't creating enough scoring chances," explained Scott Aucoin. "We had the puck in their end, we just didn't get it to the net. In the second game, we scored first, but we fell behind and had trouble getting back. Same thing, we played well, but we didn't finish. We were working hard, so it wasn't a work ethic thing. In the third period we stopped getting

the pucks to the net and it cost us." The loss left the Vikings in fourth place in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference and they didn't take advantage of the fact the SAIT Trojans and Portage Voyageurs split its weekend series. "We need to simplify things when we play teams in the bottom half of the league and focus on getting pucks to the net. We have to get to the tough areas to score goals," said Scott. "There is no reason why we can't score more than two goals a game against a team like that." In the first game, Dean Prpick, Harrison Tribble, Scott Aucion, Craig Cornelsen and Daniel Hope collected single markers for the Vikings. Goalie Paul Kolida made 19 of 22 saves, while Augustana fired 41 shots at the Huskies' guard dog, Matt Smidt. After a scoreless first period, Cornelsen broke the ice with a tally five minutes into the second frame. Keyano scored three

straight markers before Hope gave the Vikings more life in the third. Vikings goalie David Ritz stopped 22 of 25 shots. Keyano goalie Smidt turned away 30 of 32 shots he faced. "Keyano is the most penalized team in the league and yet we took more penalties than they did," Scott said. "Maybe we got sucked in a little, but we have to be disciplined. We need to do a better job of driving to the net and make the other team take the penalties. We can't afford to give away too many power play opportunities. We haven't lost a series this year, but we can't be giving away points either. We are still the team to beat and that's the way we have to approach each game." The Vikings want to make the most noise when the Concordia Thunder visit on Nov. 23. The Vikings are asking fans to support Movember with a donation at this game. Action starts at 7:30 p.m. in the EnCana Arena.

Vikings close to top 10 finish in cross-country By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings sent 11 athletes to the CCAA Crosscountry Running Open Championship, hosted by Champlain College in St. Lambert, Quebec, Nov. 10 and just missed a top 10 placing in the men's event for colleges. "On a beautiful morning in St. Lambert, Montreal, our women's team placed 13th, and the men's team placed 11th," explained assistant coach Robert Renman. "The course was a mixture of grass, gravel and trails, and was quite a bit flatter than our Camrose course. It was a very competitive field. Our runners did well, and had good performances. Most of our runners, if not all, set new seasonal bests." The top Augustana runners were Kalli Green in 36th place and Kieran Baird 41st overall. A total of 21 runners in the men's race ran under 27 minutes on the fast eight kilometre course. In the women's race, 14 women ran under 20 minutes. "This was by far the strongest field we have ever met at a cross-country nationals race," added Robert. "It was exciting to see two Alberta women placing second and third overall." Marriya Jenkins from Concordia and Alexandra Gordichuk from Grant MacEwan were close to the leader. Kieran McDonald from Red Deer College was fourth on the men's side, a few seconds away from a bronze. In the conference competition for the men, Quebec was first, Ontario second and Alberta third. For the women, Quebec was first, Alberta second and Ontario was third. "Our runners will now regroup for an indoor track season, consisting of three races with distances from 400 meters to 3,000 meters," said Robert. The women's team at nationals consisted of Kalli Green, Lauren Brookes, Maja Zimmermann, Jennifer Paterson, Victoria Frivold and Emma Norris. The men's squad was made up of Kieran Baird, Hans Asfeldt, Andrew Brisbin, Ryan Burlingame and Alexander Frost.

Kodiaks players help children read By Murray Green

It is very important for hockey players to learn how to read, because once they join the Camrose Kodiaks, they help future hockey players and all children learn to read. The Read to Succeed program was a huge success again this year. "This is an annual event that the Kodiaks are excit-

ed to take to the schools and it has now been 12 years running," said Boris Rybalka, Kodiaks' coach and general manager. "The Kodiaks believe strongly in attending school and doing your best at all times." The Kodiaks purchased hundreds of books for students and they will be delivered in the next few weeks to the children

who participated in the reading program. "Every child who participated will receive a new book and some other gifts," added Boris. "Congratulations to all who read during the past few months and keep reading. Thank you to all of the teachers who participated and to all of the students that reached their reading goals."

Trojans hone skills at zone tourney By Murray Green The Camrose Composite High School senior girls' volleyball will have one weekend to make some last minute adjustments at zones to prepare for hosting provincials. CCHS hosts the 3A girls' provincials from Nov. 22 to 24 at the high school and at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus. "I think the toughest team at zones will be H. J. Cody, which is Sylvan Lake," said Trojans' player Rachel Wood. "We played them twice and lost both times, but that was early in the season. We are looking to beat them this time." The volleyball team gained some confidence at the CCHS tourney by receiving silver medals. "Judging by how well we played at our tournament, we should be first or second if we play that good," added teammate Sidney Stang. "We went to five games in league play against Sylvan Lake, so it was really close." However, many games have been played since that first encounter. "We have developed more as a team, become grittier, we hit a littler harder, so we have improved. We have come together more as a team and that will help us," said Sidney. "Our offence is really good, we just have to play well on defence. We want to be tough to beat." Coach Bryan Laskosky has been stressing defence over the last month. "We have been working on our defence in practice a lot and I think it will come together at zones," continued Sidney. "We have to keep doing what we have been doing and that is playing harder each time out," said Rachel. "We don't play any teams differently. We still play each game as hard as we can and get it done," Sidney said. "We don't want to slack off and let everyone think that we got to provincials because we hosted it. We want to be seen as real contenders for a medal at provincials," Rachel added. "The top two teams go to provincials, but we definitely want to place first at zones." The mental game is important in preparing for big matches. "You have to go over the plays in your mind prior to the game and be ready to play when the time comes," said Sidney. "As a setter, I want to think about planned plays." Rachel added, "We want to think about what we want to do." Right now, the Trojans want to earn a spot at provincials and prove they are worthy contenders for the title. Members of the Trojans are Christie Pilger, Bailey Wipf, Brittany Voss, Sidney Stang, Bradi Lorenz, Jenaya McKinstry, Kristina Throndson, Jessica Andreassen, Jennifer Laskosky and Rachel Wood.

Help reduce the scourge of polio this Saturday By Dan Jensen

Camrose and area residents are being asked to put their best finger forward in the war against polio. The Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak and the Rotary Interact Club at the high school will be giving shoppers at Walmart this Saturday the chance to have their fingers dyed purple as a way of showing their support for Rotary International's efforts to eradicate Polio worldwide. "The idea is to raise money for Rotary International's Polio Plus campaign," said CCHS Interact Club co-president Bryce Thomsen. "Our hope is that people will get into the spirit of Christmas giving and consider giving the gift of a polio-free life." The idea of dying fingers purple comes from the polio vaccination process. "The children who are vaccinated in countries where polio exists are asked to daub their finger in a purple dye that lasts for days as a way of identifying which ones have received the vaccine," said Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak Rotary Foundation committee member Alan Fielding. The Camrose Composite High School Interact Club raised $50 for Polio Plus during a purple pinkie fundraising campaign October 24. "Rotary has worked so hard to eliminate polio, yet my generation is unfamiliar with these efforts, and even polio in general," said Thomsen. "By conducting a purple pinkie campaign at our

school we were able to educate the students about the fight to end polio, raise money for vaccines, build awareness and show support for Polio Plus, the campaign to End Polio now." All donations received in the purple pinkie campaign at Walmart will be matched by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. That means every one dollar donation to Rotary Polio Plus turns out to be three. Rotary in Camrose has been working hard to help eliminate polio for more than 25 years. "We have done many different fund-raisers over the years," said Fielding. "I remember years ago when I was president of the Rotary Club of Camrose there was a cookbook project which was done by our district. That cookbook was sold to Rotarians all over North America and it raised over $1 million." The goal of Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak is to raise $5,000 for Rotary Polio Plus every year. Rotary International, the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been working since 1988 on a Global Polio Eradication Initiative to achieve a poliofree world. Through the work of the GPEI more than seven million people, mainly in the developing world, who would otherwise have been paralyzed, are walking because they have been

immunized against polio, and more than 500,000 cases of polio are prevented each year. Transmission of the polio virus has been stopped in all but three countries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan, and the virus is being contained within increasingly smaller geographic areas within those countries. Although polio is largely

unknown in industrialized nations, it is a disease that still robs children of that right in other parts of the world. It is transmitted via contaminated water and food supplies, enters through a child's mouth, and then multiplies in the throat and intestines. In a matter of hours, the polio virus can enter the brain and spinal cord, destroying the cells that enable muscles to contract and

causing paralysis. In five to ten per cent of cases, the child dies. For as little as 60 cents worth of vaccine, a child can be protected against this crippling disease for life. The Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak is thrilled to be working with the CCHS Interact Club. "We congratulate them for coming up with this idea," said Fielding.
