Saturday, December 7th from noon to 4:00 p.m. The goal is simple but lofty – law enforcement officers, assisted by Camrose & District Victim Services will be hoping to collect food items (for Camrose & District Food Bank), Christmas gifts items (primarily gifts for older children and teenagers, who are often overlooked in Christmas gifting), and cash (to train advocates to aid victims of crime and tragedy in Camrose City and Camrose County). All gifts received will help families in need enjoy a happier and healthier holiday season. Tax receipts will be available for donors of monetary gifts of $25 or greater.

Police nab suspect

Thrift Shop donations

Shortly after 2 a.m. Nov. 22 police were conducting patrol duties in the downtown area and noted a suspicious male on foot evading police. Further investigation determined that the male was responsible for breaking into a vehicle in the area and as well attempted to enter three other vehicles. With the assistance of the Police Service Dog, the male was tracked down and apprehended after a short foot pursuit. The 30-year-old male was taken into custody and charged with Theft, Resisting Arrest, and Possession of a Dangerous Weapon.

Call for proposals Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson is encouraging local businesses to consider selling their goods and services to the Government of Canada by responding to the Build in Canada Innovation Program (BCIP) Call for Proposals. “Our government’s top priority is creating jobs, growth and longterm prosperity,” says Sorenson. “Our job is to fuel the entrepreneurial spirit in Canada, and this new Call for Proposals will help kick-start Canadian businesses and get their innovative products and services from the lab to the marketplace.” The BCIP was launched in 2010 as a pilot program to connect Canadian companies with federal departments and agencies that have a need for innovative products and services. By selling to the federal government, businesses can demonstrate the value of their products and services, and potentially generate future sales to nongovernment customers in Canada, and around the world. To build on the early success of this pilot program, Economic Action Plan 2012 allocated additional funding for three years, starting in 2013. As of 2016, $40 million will be permanently dedicated to the BCIP annually. The fourth Call for Proposals, which includes a military component, is currently available on Buyandsell. gc.ca/tenders. Suppliers have until January 7, 2014, to submit their proposals. “I encourage all local large and small firms in Crowfoot to take a moment and visit the website to see if there is an opportunity for them,” Sorenson concludes.

Camrose and District Family Thrift Shop has donated $1,000 to both the Camrose Neighbor Aid program for the food bank and Merry Christmas Fund. Presenting the cheques to Neighbor Aid program director Jo-Anne Tweed (left) and Merry Christmas Fund publicity coordinator Dale Debnam (right) was Camrose and District Family Thrift Shop board president Gloria Wimmer.

Letters to third parties are not accepted. The Camrose Booster may edit for length, clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Responsible management? I write to respond to two items in the Nov. 26th Camrose Booster. First, Hans Asfeldt needs to be more diligent in his "research." Camrose spends more per capita than any of Alberta’s seventeen cities, which makes one wonder how Asfeldt can claim, "City finances have been responsibly managed." A four-story City Hall is excessive. Another Arts Centre is redundant, because Camrose doesn’t fully utilize the Bailey, the two Augustana venues, or the existing auditorium spaces at the Norseman, schools, churches, and (what used to be) the Seniors’ Centre. Bigger cities such as Edmonton, and Calgary make much better use of such spaces. Secondly, we take exception to Minister Olson's claims that the Building Alberta Plan

is "opening markets for resources" (assuming that by “resources” the Agriculture Minister means “agricultural products”). The Plan has additional flaws to those in Minister Olson's claim. For example, the Plan’s second discussion point (page 3) ludicrously claims we are, "living within our means." How can Alberta, with its growing multi-billion dollar budget deficit and its billions of dollars of debt, possibly be construed to be “living within [its] means”? Minister Olson further states that the "new deal" (i.e. the EU "tentative agreement") is "tremendous news for our cattle and pork producers…" Nonsense! The EU will accept only "hormone-free” meat products, which Canada does not produce in any quantity. Plus the EU accepts nothing that is genetically modified, and the bulk of Canada's grain exports are genetically modified. True, Minister Olson (and his "industry representatives") visited Kazakhstan (May 2013) at the cost of $31,358.39 to Alberta taxpayers. He, however, failed to grasp the reality of the probable agricultural trade situation. Kazakhstan may perhaps be “interested” in our "cattle genetic material and expertise" (but no “deals” were signed). Realistically Kazakhstan will be importing very little

from us, because Kazakhstan exports more grain than Alberta does, and once Kazakhstan has our “cattle genetic material and expertise,” it will not be need/want Alberta beef. Minister Olson further suggests that China is "one of the most important friends Alberta can make." That may be true, assuming “friend” equates to ”trading partner” (or “oil investor”), which is not always the case. Does the cost of courting/wooing China justify the millions of dollars for FOUR International Trade Offices in China, plus another $286,043 for seven MLA/ Premier OIL-related tradepromotion trips to China since Sept. 2012? Currying that “friendship” carries a very high price tag, for negligible tangible results so far. Minister Olson’s closing statement asserts that “Alberta’s commitment to market access” will benefit us. Rural Albertans fail to see how, especially when every trip abroad primarily promotes BIG OIL. This false assurance of how rural/Agricultural Alberta will benefit is very like the justification used for the four-million-dollar Tour de France wanna-be bike race. That too was supposed to translate into mega dollars of increased revenue for rural Alberta. But those financial “benefits” didn’t materialize either.

What we need from our Agriculture Minister and/ or the Building Alberta Plan is “measurable” agriculture-related results – not just political rhetoric. Marion Leithead Bawlf Poaching is not hunting Hunting season is nearly over, or as it's known here in the Battle River valley, poaching season (although I'm not sure that poachers would respect season dates any more than they respect anything else). A few days ago, two guys went onto private land, without permission; shot into posted land which is illegal; tried to get through a locked gate, without permission; drove away when it looked like they would be questioned; came back in the middle of the night, cut the chain that locked the gate – vandalism; drove through another gate and across a pasture – trespassing; dragged an illegal deer out of the bush and cleaned up the bloody snow, threw it in their truck and drove away. It's disgusting that they will get away with it, but the most shameful thing is that by these actions, legitimate hunters that abide by the rules, that show respect for the land, landowners and wildlife are all tarred by the same brush. Poaching is not hunting. Shame on them. Midge Lambert, Kelsey

Camrose EMS seeks support in stuffing ambulance full of food By Murray Green

Local residents are encouraged to help the Camrose NeighborAid Center's food bank this Christmas season by participating in the seventh annual Stuff An Ambulance event, organized by Alberta Health Services and Camrose EMS. Ambulances will be set up at the Camrose Safeway (6800-48 Avenue) on Saturday, Dec. 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., to accept non-perishable food items. The Food Bank welcomes items such as canned foods (soups, vegetables, fruits, pork and beans), jams, oatmeal, juices, cereals, pasta and pasta sauces, as well as hygiene items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo and conditioner. Safeway will also have prepackaged donation bags in various denominations for your convenience. "We are always looking for items for children's lunches and we need juice boxes," said Jo-Anne Tweed, of NeighborAid. "Last year, we raised 4,400 lbs. of food and $1,900 in donations and gift cards. This year, we have some more community donations, which we hope will help raise more awareness in the community," said Camrose EMS member Scott Harvey. "We hope to top our last years donations and raise awareness of the need to help the less fortunate members of our community." Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Submit nominations for Excellence in Teaching Students, parents, colleagues and community members are encouraged to nominate teachers and principals for a 2014 Excellence in Teaching Award, celebrating the best educators across Alberta. “Outstanding educators create outstanding students – giving them the opportunity to reach their full potential," said Minister of Education Jeff Johnson. "Each year, we hear incredible stories of how our talented, dedicated teachers and principals are bringing the vision of Inspiring Education to life. We’re proud to recognize their achievements and their contributions to building Alberta.” Nominations are being accepted by Alberta Education until Feb. 7, 2014. Approximately 130 semi-finalists will be selected, with 20 receiving Excellence in Teaching Awards. Award recipients will be presented with certificates of recognition and funding for professional development during a formal ceremony in May 2014. Since 1989, more than 9,000 nominations have been submitted and more than 500 teachers and principals have received Excellence in Teaching Awards.

Be a survivor, not a victim

A few weeks ago I watched an episode of Dr. Phil whose featured guest was Michelle Knight. She and two others girls were held captive for over a decade by Ariel Castro. As I heard this brave young woman recounted some of the rape, torture and overall horrific experiences that she and the others were subjected to, I was understandably horrified. Throughout the next few hours my thoughts often strayed to her story. My thoughts slowly shifted from horror to admiration for this amazing young woman. I thought of how she has not only survived these terrors but is now trying to work towards having a normal and happy life. The news is constantly full of stories of how people hurt other people, themselves, children, animals etc. These people come up with excuses for their behavior, including that they were victims of abuse or trauma. While I understand that abuse has a huge impact on ones psyche, I also understand that nothing gives us the right to hurt anyone else. There are reasons for a person's behaviour and then there are excuses. The basic difference is that an excuse is given so the individual doesn't need to accept responsibility for his or her actions and allows him or her to continue the destructive behavior. People need to stop making excuses for their bad behavior. There are millions of people out there who have suffered abuse and trauma and most of these people don't, in turn, hurt someone else. No one has cornered the market on suffering. People the world over face incredible struggles and few have faced such as that of Michelle Knight. She is choosing to be a survivor, not a victim. A victim wallows in self pity and rails to the world "why me?" A victim chooses to live in the misery of his or her past and uses that as an excuse to not change the patterns of his or her life. A survivor accepts that past is the past and chooses to take what he or she has learned to make the needed changes to achieve a better life. A

survivor knows that you cannot control what others say or do to you but knows that how you react to what he or she does is in your control. A survivor understands that sometimes it's easy to slip back into familiar patterns of self doubt and feelings of unworthiness and shame but a survivor knows how to continually work towards self growth and peace. Being a survivor rather than a victim takes the control out of the abuser's hands and transfers the power to you. Michelle Knight is a survivor, which one are you? For those of you who want to be a survivor like Michelle, there are tons of resources, self help books/ groups, and community and counselling programs to help you on your path to freedom. But the bulk of the work must come from you. Only you can control your destiny. I am a survivor and I can tell you that the freedom that comes from being such is truly liberating. Gale Reed Bittern Lake Griffiths an expert?

Isn’t it wonderful that Doug Griffiths has been declared an expert! True he declared it himself, and actually he first had a partial hand in ignoring the potential severity of the disaster by refusing previous advice and helping to deep shelve the reports. My deep abiding concern is how we have “expertly” left people in temporary housing with many, homes sitting derelict in High River and people still being given great promises by the province that will not be fulfilled. Doug has, however, enjoyed a well deserved holiday to the PC time-share in Beijing, China, where Gary Mar serves as butler/ caretaker. What puzzles me is the fact that we had to pay out $30,000 to get someone who will listen to our bright and shiny star. Mr./Ms. editor I thought the idea of an expert was that others paid to hear their sage wisdom, you know, kind of like Justin Trudeau. The real reason for writing you is that I could sure use an extra few dollars; just wondering if you could ask Doug to stop posing for the cameras long enough to see if there is a government job with either him or Verlyn that I could fill for a couple of weeks. Then, well, with the severance pay I could pay off all my loans. Like I am thinking in terms of, like, six months that ought do it, then well maybe I could work on their campaigns. After all, it is only money and it isn’t even their's so it shouldn’t bother them. Oh, wait a second, it’s my money and High River’s money; there is no getting around their appetite for more.

You know what really sucks the life out of me here in Alberta? As one who believes in the rule of law, good governance, and moral excellences I am struggling to find something to support in this government. Rob Johnson Daysland Foster families

Recent news coverage about the deaths of children and youth in care has sparked much discussion and speculation, but there is one point about which we all agree: the death of even one child is tragic and unfortunate. Whenever a child dies in care, it's important to understand why. In that respect, we appreciate the depth of discussion sparked by the media and the opportunity to reflect upon what we can learn from these tragedies in order to continuously improve the child intervention system. But we are also concerned that recent media coverage in the Edmonton Journal and the Calgary Herald overshadows another very important aspect of the full story: the many successful foster and kinship families who keep children safe and supported during a crisis period in their lives. Foster families are skilled and loving caregivers who continually undergo training to manage what can sometimes be the very complex medical or emotional needs of children in their care. Over the years many foster families in our Region have opened their homes to hundreds of traumatized children, providing a safe and healthy place for them to stay. They help these vulnerable children build resilience and form healthy attachments-skills that all children need in order to grow up and develop healthy adult relationships. Many of these now grown foster children recently attended celebration events with us to honour their foster families and spoke about the incredible difference they made in their life. Unfortunately, these success stories seldom make the news because confidentiality rules restrict the release of information that reveals the identity of children in care. Everyone of us appreciates responsible, accurate, balanced news reporting. We urge the media to demonstrate that sort of reportingand endeavour to tell the full story of the child intervention system, with its many successes. Trevor Thain, co-chair board of North Central Alberta Child and Family Services Authority

Seventh annual Charity Check Stop this Saturday By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Police Service and Camrose

RCMP will be teaming up this Saturday to conduct their seventh annual Voluntary Check Stop. Officers will be stopping drivers on the 48 Avenue service road in front of Camrose Licence and Registry from noon until 4 p.m. to ask if they have any donations for the Camrose Kinette Club’s Silent Santa Program, Camrose and District Food Bank or Camrose and District Victim Services. “We’re asking people to give a gift to help families in our community have a safer and happy holiday season,” said Camrose Police Service Const. Matthew Wilton. The Charity Check Stop is simple in that drivers are able to make a donation without ever having to get out of their vehicle. Food and toy donations will be loaded into trailers by volunteers and members of the three receiving organizations, as well as members of the Camrose Kodiaks.

Cpl. K-9, the Camrose Police Service mascot, Safety Bear, the Camrose RCMP mascot, and Santa Claus will be on hand to provide friendly greetings. Members from MADD ( M ot h e r s A gainst Drunk Driving) will be tying ribbons onto vehicles to raise awareness of their program and the dangers of driving while impaired. Ta x deductible receipts will be provided to donors for monetary contributions of $25 or greater. The Charity Check Stop has proven to be one of the most successful fundraisers of the Christmas season. The 2012 event raised $8,500 in cash donations for Victim Services, 1,111 toys and $1,000 in cash and gift-card donations for Silent Santa, and over 2,000 lbs. of food and $1,000 in cash and gift-card donations for Camrose and District Food Bank. “Victim Services is responsible for a portion of its own funding,”

said Const. Wilton. “The donations it receives are used to train advocates to aid victims of crime and tragedy in Camrose and Camrose County.” The check stop is one of Victim’ Services’ major fundraisers of the year. Suggested donations for Camrose and District Food Bank include lunch items for kids, canned green veggies, fish, meat,

stew, chili or soup, sugar, peanut butter, baby food with meat, and juice. Suggested donations for the Camrose Kinette’ Silent Santa program include board and handheld games, books, sporting goods and gift certificates. Gifts for older children are usually the ones that are most required. Camrose Police Service and Camrose RCMP

see the Voluntary Charity Check Stop as a good way to meet and greet the citizens of Camrose and area, to thank them for the support during the course of the year, and to help three worthy causes. “We’re always happy for any donations we receive,” said Const. Wilton. “Every year it seems to get bigger and better.”

R&D Hot Tubs is once again asking for the help of Camrose and area residents in filling a hot tub for the food bank. The east-end business will be taking donations of nonperishable items between now and 3 p.m. Dec. 21. “Our goal is to completely fill a seven by seven foot hot tub,” said R&D Hot Tubs owner Doneal Greipl. R&D Hot Tubs’ 2012 Fill a Hot Tub for the Food Bank was a tremendous success. “We received a phenomenal response from area residents,” said Doneal. “We took three or four vans full of food to the food bank and afterwards presented them (food bank) with a cheque for $500.” R&D Hot Tubs has a strong history of giving back to the community since opening its doors in 2008. Organizations that have benefitted from its support include Camrose Friends of STARS, Centra Cam Vocational Training Association and the Augustana Students’ Association (Rocky Road Ice Cream Fantasy). “We feel it is important to support the community that supports us,” said Doneal. “We consider ourselves fortunate to be living in such a giving and caring city.” R&D Hot Tubs is located at 3843F-44 Avenue, Camrose. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Details on the fill a hot tub program may be obtained by calling 780-679-4003.

Lessons and Carols Dec. 8

By Murray Green

The EmBellish Handbell Choir, Camrose Camerata and the Camrose and Area Children’s Choirs are joining together to present their annual concert of music in a Lessons and Carols setting on Dec. 8. Services will begin at 4 and 7 p.m. at the Camrose United Church (4829-50 Street) with a freewill offering accepted. “Audience members can sing along to favourite Advent and Christmas Carols, while also having the chance to hear the dulcet tones of choirs and sparkling sounds of English handbells in action,” said organizer JoyAnne Murphy. The earlier service will feature members of the junior choir along with Camerata and Embellish, while the 7 p.m. service has members of the senior children’s choir and Vivo Cantando ensemble along with the adult groups. “Audiences over the years have remarked that the music and readings at these services are always unique, impactful and beautifully done,” added JoyAnne. “It is a great way to immerse yourself in the spirit of the season.”

Home-based business award By Dan Jensen

Nailicious was named Home Based Business of the Year at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Week banquet. Started eight years ago by Chelsea Hill, Nailicious offers gel nails, pedicures and waxing. “Chelsea believes that two of the keys to customer satisfaction are quality workmanship and quality products,” said in a business biography read by Small Business Week banquet emcee Darrell Kambeitz. “As such, she discovered a product that she soon started to promote. In the past three years, Chelsea’s sales of the product have doubled each year and over 30 technicians currently purchase supplies from the Nailicious location, which is a pick up centre for the gel line for Camrose and area.” Chelsea has developed course curriculums for instructing new technicians. “One of her achievements is that she has trained several women to be technicians and also to run their own business,” said the biography. “She has become a master technician who now instructs technicians to train new people who want to enter the industry.”

Local nurses work on Mercy Ship hospital By Murray Green

Two Camrose Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital nurses have returned from helping perform life-changing surgery in the Congo. Tammy Grose and Arlene McLean were at Pointe Noire, in the Republic of the Congo, where they volunteered their nursing skills for two weeks on-board the world’s largest non-governmental hospital ship, the Africa Mercy. “We left on Sept. 4 and stayed in Frankfurt, Germany for a few days and then arrived in the Congo on Sept. 7,” Tammy explained. “We arrived on Saturday and started our shift on Monday.” Tammy wanted a new challenge. She has 28 years of nursing experience and wanted to share her skills with professionals from around the world and help treat those in great need in Africa. “I thought it was time to use my skills for someone who doesn’t benefit from good health care like we have,” explained Tammy. “I started looking for a mission, a Christ-centred one, so one of the girls said to check out Mercy Ships. They have a lot of information online. I read through it and said wow, this is it. I talked to all my friends and one of them mentioned it to Arlene.” However, Arlene already knew about Mercy Ships. “I had looked into it a year before. I heard about it at church. I thought what a cool idea to use my nursing skills in a mission,” said Arlene. “I put it on the back burner until Tammy called up and said that she is going and do I want to come with her. I thought she was brave to just go and do it and it pushed me. It was the right thing to do.” Mercy Ships, an international charity with a Canadian base in Victoria, BC, spends roughly 10 months at a time in varying countries, primarily along Africa’s west coast, delivering free surgeries and life-saving health care to some of the world’s most impoverished people. About 450 international volunteers with a wide range of both medical and non-medical skill sets keep the ship in operation. “We were in an eight berth suite with a total of five of us when we got there. We slept in close proximity. We went up one floor to eat. Down one floor to work. We ate, slept, worked and played together. The relationships made on the ship were stronger in those two weeks than many long term relationships in my circle at home,” Tammy said. Tammy and Arlene arrived only a few weeks after the first mass selection day. The Africa Mercy’s managing director, Donovan Palmer, described this day as the charity’s largest screening in more than 20 years in Africa. Around 7,350

The Africa Mercy hospital ship is docked along the coast of the Republic of the Congo for several months, so volunteer doctors and nurses can provide surgeries and care for less fortunate people in the third world country. Camrose Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital nurses Tammy Grose and Arlene McLean spent two weeks onboard serving as operating room nurses.

people were lined up in early morning hours at Lycee Victor Augagneur, the local high school in Pointe Noire that served as this year’s selection day site. “We had a fast orientation of the operating room and in four hours they told us everything we needed to know. In the afternoon we watched and then the next day we were right in there,” said Tammy. “There were four OR’s (operating rooms) running the first week and three the second week. The ship has five operating rooms in total. Unfortunately, Arlene and I didn’t work in the same room.” The nurses marvelled at the specialized surgeries offered on the ship. “The surgeries were huge, things we have never seen before,” said Tammy. “We had large tumors where part of the jaw was

eroded and some were seven hour surgeries. It was incredible. The surgeries changed the lives of the patients,” said Arlene. “We saw some of the patients that had surgery before we arrived and they were totally changed. They can live a normal life now. Before they were ostracized because some people think it is a curse.” To make such a huge impact on the African people left the nurses in awe. “The specialized surgeons were amazing. The second week I worked with plastic surgery patients. This is a poverty country where people fall into fires and get contractures,” said Tammy. “Their hands are completely closed. We opened them up, took skin grafts from their thighs and put them on their hands. They will be able to use their hands again.” The need for help is over-

whelming. One in eight children die before the age of five. “They had more than 7,000 people lined up and they couldn’t take everybody. We helped the ones that needed it the most,” added Arlene. “Here the cases would be looked after right away, so they are not as drastic. There was an 18-year-old that had a severe tumor for nine years.” The services provided expanded outside of the ship. “During the Africa Mercy’s 10-month stay in the port of Pointe Noire, Republic of the Congo, Mercy Ships plans to provide over 3,300 surgeries for adult and child patients onboard, to treat more than 20,000 at land-based dental and eye clinics renovated for the purpose, and to provide holistic health care education to over 240 Congolese health care professionals and 830 community leaders,” said

Arlene McLean, left, and Tammy Grose take time out of the busy operating room schedule to stroll along the beach on the west coast of Africa. The local nurses gave up their vacation in September to work on the hospital ship to help others.

Mercy Ships founder Don Stephens. Tammy and Arlene were operating room nurses who helped with many surgical cases during their time onboard. “Some of the cases were very extreme of anything I’ve ever seen in my 28 years of nursing. Poverty is something that has left its sting on these people in such a huge way. It’s not easy to see,” said Tammy. They returned to Canada with a new perspective and attitude towards how they want to live out their lives. “I was impacted by the love of everyone,” said Tammy. “Every nurse should try and serve on the ship. It is so hard to describe. For me it was just the best. This ship is about excellence. I’ve never seen it done so well. It was well staffed, planned, managed, and when things didn’t go as planned they adapted appropriately.” Tammy is currently working in the Heart and Stroke Unit at St. Mary’s, while Arlene is in the Operating Room. Mercy Ships uses hospital ships to deliver free, world-class health care services, capacity building and sustainable development to those in the developing world without access. Founded in 1978 by Don and Deyon Stephens, Mercy Ships has worked in more than 70 countries providing services valued at more than $1 billion, impacting more than 2.42 million direct beneficiaries. Professionals, including surgeons, dentists, nurses, health care trainers, teachers, cooks, seamen, engineers and agriculturalists donate their time and skills to the effort. Even though all of the volunteers have to pay for room and board, there is a waiting list to join the mission. “There is a year or two waiting list for nurses on the floor,” said Arlene. “Specialized operating nurses like us signed up in April and were able to go in September,” added Tammy. What struck Arlene the most was that everyone from all over the world was there to help. “Everyone there wanted to make a difference and it was really cool to be a part of it,” said Arlene. The nurses want to share their experience with the rest of the staff at St. Mary’s Hospital. “The teamwork was so beautiful to see. It was truly awesome, just like the team I work with in the operating room at St. Mary’s,” Arlene said. “Everything was so well organized that you felt the support from the bottom up,” added Tammy. Tammy said she would like to go back and help again soon. Arlene said she may try another mission before thinking about returning to Mercy Ships.

CLBI students to embark on missions in January By Dan Jensen

Thirteen of Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute's second-year students will be travelling to different countries this coming January for a four-week long mission experience. "We're hoping that the trips will fan in the students a passion for mission and develop in them a greater servant heart for people around the world," said CLBI dean of students and mission trip facilitator Riley Sexton CLBI has included crosscultural mission experiences as part of its program for the last 11 years. Students pay half of the costs themselves and raise the other half through events like Meatballs for Missions and the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper, where they have a chance to share their experiences. "The students who go work together with true servant hearts and pour themselves into the ministry," explained Sexton. "It has been exciting when they return to hear them share how the passion of their missionary hosts has become their passion as well." Kristine South, Hillary Kemp, Matt Faltin, Peder Saethre and Tamara MacInnis will be travelling to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, where they will be assisting with the ministry being carried out by organization called Joint Christian Services. "It is going to be exciting for me to see the young church there," said Faltin. "Right now about two per cent of Mongolia's population is Christian." South said she is excited about building relationships with other Christians through the cafe in which the students will be work-

CLBI students who will be going on mission trips in January are: (left to right) Monika Thygesen, Hillary Kemp, Mia Berg, Adrianna Hansen, Erik Nottveit, Kristine South, Matt Faltin and Lucas Timms. Missing from the photo are Peder Saethre, Tamara MacInnis, Grayson Wagner, Tina Bergum and Tim Siebert.

ing and learning more about Mongolia's culture. "I've been studying a little bit about the history of Mongolia and I find it interesting. The climate there is as cold as ours so we should be well prepared. I'm looking forward to staying in ger (a traditional Mongolian shelter or winter tent)." Kemp said she doesn't really know what to expect. "It is definitely an experience I am looking forward to. Our team has had a joke that we will try to ride yaks while we are there." Faltin is looking forward to exploring some of Mongolia's rich history during his free time. He said he is interested in seeing how the country has expanded and shrunk over the years and how its culture has been affected by its oppressors. Monika Thygesen, Erik Nottveit, Grayson Wagner and Tina Bergum will be going to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, where they will helping to care for

the children at an orphanage. They will also have the opportunity to visit the Women's Empowerment Project (associated with the orphanage), where they will learn to make scarves and different kinds of jewellery. "I am excited about learning about a different culture," said Thygesen. "I don't know too much about the country right now but I know it is a place and needs people to come and help out." Nottveit said that the thing about Ethiopia that stands out for him is the strong Christian presence. "I am looking forward to seeing how God is working in a country where one third of the population is Christian and one third is Muslim." Adrianna Hansen, Mia Berg, Lucas Timms and Tim Siebert will be spending their four weeks in Israel-Palestine. The girls will be working with an organization in Jerusalem called Musalaha, which helps Israeli and Palestinian youth grow in their

understanding of each other, while the boys will be assisting with relational ministries and English instruction at a bible college in Bethlehem. "I'm looking forward to seeing a different culture and meeting new people with different world views," said Hansen. "I think we will all be able to learn a lot from them." Timms is a bit uncomfortable about going to a place that is well-known for being a place where there is a lot of unrest. "I'm nervous because there hasn't been a lot of peace there," he said, "but I know God will be able to do great works through us and in us." Berg said it has been interesting in her pre-mission studies to learn about the area. "I think it is cool that we are able to go to places that are talked about so much in the Bible." Thygesen and Faltin expect the mission experi-

ence will stretch them and their fellow students, and give them a greater awareness of the work that is being done by the church throughout the world. "I think it is going to reinforce the need that we have to support the church globally in our prayers," said Faltin. Sexton believes all three mission destinations will have a lot to teach the students. "Mongolia has a young vibrant church with many vibrant leaders, while Ethiopia, which has a very strong Orthodox presence with traditions going back to the fourth and fifth centuries, is a place that struggles with extreme poverty and diseases like HIV/AIDS and leprosy. Israel-Palestine has a lot of rich biblical history and is a perfect illustration of why we need to avoid segregation. There are many adults and teens working there trying to bring about change for the next generation."

Boomtown Trail receives national recognition By Dan Jensen

The Boomtown Trail Community Initiative Society's Bringing History and Culture to Life project has been named recipient of the 2013 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Community Programming. "I don't know if this has really hit home for me yet," said Boomtown Trail CEO Ken Duncan, who accepted the award at Rideau Hall Nov. 17. "It shows the project is bigger than we first thought." The Bringing History and Culture to Life project uses dessert theatre presentations and a full-day event called Walk Among Us to showcase Alberta's early pioneering history and the uniquely cultural experience that can only be found in rural Alberta. In Walk Among Us, Boomtown Trail's colourful characters take those who are interested on walking tours, sharing sto-

ries of the town's history, its buildings and its people. The characters answer questions and chat about their lives, their families, and their experiences living on the Boomtown Trail as a pioneer, a war-bride or even as the wife of the town's founder. "The characters tell local stories gathered from local residents," said Duncan. "Many characters still have family living in the area and they are a valuable source of information when compiling scripts. Every community's local museum and/or historical society is key to providing the necessary background. The actors themselves are residents who have an incredible amount of community pride and passion for local history." The Bringing History and Culture to Life project has brought a new appreciation and respect for rural history and culture.

"It has brought communities together and attracted visitors from outside the region," said Duncan. "Watching the audiences, one witnesses the sense of pride amongst community residents who marvel at how their grandparents cleared large tracts of land by hand, walked for two days to collect the mail and relied on neighbours for survival. It was a way of life that few of us can imagine today. Visitors from rural centres sit with rapt attention as they witness a time they only heard about in movies. The story of a war bride arriving from war-torn England after the Second World War tells of the fear and anxiety that comes with leaving the only home she has ever known. Children lean forward with wide-eyes, watching their history lessons come to life with a realism that cannot be found in history books: the

experience of moving from Nebraska to stake claims in Alberta at the age of 10, or hearing someone express awe at the newfangled contraption used to hold papers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a binder." The Bringing History and Culture to Life project has drawn attention from historical groups across the country. "We have had numerous calls from the Maritimes," said Duncan. "There is one community that is adopting the dinner theatre idea lock stock and barrel, and there are three or four other communities that are using bits and pieces of it. This was all before that we received the award. I don't know what is going to happen now." The Boomtown Trail Community Initiatives Society is a grassroots regional development organization serving the rural areas of eastern Alberta encompass-

ing Highways 21, 56, and 9, from the towns of New Sarepta in the north to Bassano in the south. Its name is derived from the distinctive form of architecture found throughout the region. Known as "boomtown" architecture, it is characterized by a grandly designed front covering a more humble building behind it. Almost every community along the Boomtown Trail features original buildings from the boomtown era, taking visitors back to the origins of small town Alberta. There have been many efforts to preserve the local history, including many restored sites and museums. The Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Community Programming was created to celebrate programming developed by volunteer-led heritage, community and cultural organizations at the grassroots level.

Jacob “Jake” Fleck

Earl Alvin Dionne

Jacob “Jake” Fleck of Camrose passed away Sunday, November 24, 2013 at the age of 72 years. Jacob Fleck was born in Ukraine, Russia on April 22, 1941. He was the youngest of seven children. During the war, he and his family were able to move to Canada. They settled on a farm outside of Lampman, SK. Dad was raised on a farm. This farm life created a strong young man who worked hard to help out on the farm. When he was 17, he met the love of his life, Ellen Paus. There was one time when he anxiously asked her to go out for a night of dancing. It was against her nature to go out with strange boys. He did not stop there. He sought out her parents and asked their permission. They said yes! What a wonderful evening it was. Their friendship grew into a loving relationship and they were married on June 12, 1963. Once married, they raised a beautiful family and eventually settled in the city of Camrose, AB. Dad worked his way up the corporate ladder with Texaco, developing a rewarding 35-year career. However, from 1975 to 1978, he took a small break from the corporate world to try his hand at a private business. He co-owned a Dairy Queen with his brother-inlaw Gaynel Paus. He re-launched his career with Texaco in 1978 and shortly after accepted a position where he travelled overseas to further his career. In 2001, Dad retired to spend time with his family. He loved travelling. Immediately, he and Ellen started travelling to their winter paradise in Yuma, Arizona. He spent time with his family every summer in Kelowna. Being with his grandkids gave him great joy. It was rare for him to miss an opportunity to attend a Christmas concert, dance recital or hockey game. Spending time with his children and grandchildren was what he lived for. Dad’s life nurtured him into an amazing person. He was our friend, teacher and hero. To us, he was the best father in the world. He was our Superman. Even when times were tough, he never let us know of his pain. He was our protector. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Ellen; children Kim (Calvin) Erickson of Camrose, Kevin Fleck of Calgary, Kyla Fleck of Edmonton and Kelly (Michelle) Fleck of Sherwood Park; seven grandchildren Brandon, Cory, Travis, Jared, Jaelin, Ciarra and Kaia; three brothers Raphael of Germany, Joseph of Saskatchewan and Johnny of Saskatchewan; and three sisters Barbara of Denver, Rose of Saskatchewan and Tillie of Saskatchewan. Jake was predeceased by his parents; and two nephews Allan and Dale. Thank you for all that you have given us. Goodbye, Dad, until we see you again. Love your family.

who passed away on December 6, 2011 We treasure still, with love, sincere beautiful memories of someone so dear. – Ernie and family

Remember the best times, the laughter, the song, The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you, Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest, Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small, Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls. I miss you dearly, so keep up your chin, Until the day He comes and we’re together again. Gone, but not forgotten. You are always in our hearts.

Barbara Ann Wilson

Herbert Morgan Sware

September 28, 1936 – November 24, 2013

February 1, 1932 – November 21, 2013

Barbara Ann Wilson of Camrose, formerly of Cochrane, passed away on Sunday, November 24, 2013 at the age of 77 years. Barbara was born on September 28, 1936 in Calgary, AB to Muriel and Robin Echlin. Barbara was a war child and had many memories of being the child of a soldier who was away at war in World War II; my grandfather left around 1940 when Barb was only four years old. She always spoke of how she did not see her dad for six years until she was near ten years old. This had a huge effect on her life as her mom rode the train to Eastern Canada to work in the ammunition factories. Mom stayed behind and lived in Dewinton, AB with her Grandma Grant who always meant the world to her. At some point, Mom did ride the train out east to join her mom and talked often of living in Woodstock, ON. After the war, her dad came back and Cochrane became home. Here she rode horses, attended school and eventually met and married Stan. He began courting her at the young age of around 16 and, by the time she was 18, they were married and remained together until her last breath. They spent many times together dancing and enjoying life the way they wanted to. During their marriage, they had four children and had a dairy farm in the Cochrane area until 1974 when they moved to Camrose to grain farm. Barb was a big part of the farm and an amazing partner to Stan. As a mom, she was always loving and caring. She seldom, if ever, raised her voice, and was an angel in life and will be in death as well. Barb was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s about 12 years ago and began the long journey of this disease. In the past few years, she slowly lost different abilities at different points in the disease but, through it all, she still had the same love in her eyes and constant joy of her family being with her. Stan stood strong beside her, taking care of her better than anyone else ever could. Right up to the end, he was always watching over her and caring for her well-being. The staff at Sunrise was often taken aback by his incredible dedication to her, lots of times ignoring his own care. The love that was evident in their eyes moved many to tears over the last few years. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Stanley; children Beverly Wilson of Sherwood Park, Brian (Deanna) Wilson of Camrose, Kenneth Wilson of Dallas ,and Darryl Wilson of Red Deer; ten grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; and brother Ron (Lindy) Echlin of Okotoks. Barb is at peace now and is looking down on all of us, so just smile up to her and say goodbye and remember her as she was such an amazing beautiful person. A Funeral Service was held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, December 2, 2013 from Camrose United Church with Mary Ann Pastuck officiating. Inurnment will take place at a later date. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Alzheimer’s Society or to St. Mary’s Hospital. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneral home.com.

Michael Sonnenberg’s career path has taken an interesting and exciting turn. The father of four, who has worked in the education system in Camrose and Wetaskiwin for many years and additionally been extensively involved with assisting developmentally disabled students learn, has opened his own business. The launch of HomeRoom The Learning Store is a direct result of his passion for watching individuals thrive in school (and in life) after new methods of learning have been introduced into their lives. “The formal educational system is not perfectly suited to all students, unfortunately,” suggests Michael, based on his experience. “I’ve watched firsthand many students struggle with the Alberta curriculum and the cookie-cutter style of teaching. The that’s the way we’ve always done it style, and a system focused on we’ve only got so much money so we have it do it this way, simply isn’t enabling all students to reach maximum potential”. “With today’s research we know students learn in different ways and at different paces. We know some kids learn by listening intently, others by watching, others through hands-on styles of absorbing information”, concludes Sonnenberg. “One of my strengths in the classroom, as well as working with university aged developmentally disabled students, was to identify how students learned best and fastest. I often found that the normal method of teaching actually worked against the person and interfered with the knowledge gathering process. Over the years I

developed an interest in sourcing games, tools, resources and teaching aids which made impressive differences in students’ marks, and often in life itself”. Michael Sonnenberg’s role in the formal education field led to a thoughtprovoking and life-changing decision . “My wife, Sharon, and I found tremendous success homeschooling three of our four children who were not reaching their full potential in the public school system.” Sharon, with no formal teaching experience, has become the teacher for their 6, 9 and almost 13 year-old. Utilizing the same types of games, books and fun activities which they will be selling from their main street Camrose store, they have watched their children excel in their studies.

Inspiration for their store came from their first-hand experience in trying to source the right materials online. The expense of repeated trips to Red Deer or Edmonton for the educational needs they wished to buy was also a factor. In addition they talked to many teachers who had been disappointed from their online buying experiences – choosing merchandise that they thought was right or hoped would solve a certain problem, but ultimately didn’t. “We quickly learned that buying U.S. products often meant a non-match for our local curriculum needs”, recalls Michael. “The vision for HomeRoom The Learning Store was, in retrospect, years in the making although Sharon and I got really serious about opening this store in August of this year. Since then we have spent hundreds of hours sourcing product that we know can make a genuine difference to parents and their children”. Although the store won’t be completely stocked in time for Christmas, with help from all members of their family it is now open. And, there is more good news to follow. Shortly after the New Year, watch for an announcement pertaining to a tutoring service which will be offered to all students at all levels.

Budget requests By Dan Jensen

Tourism Camrose, the Camrose Chamber of Commerce and the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park presented their 2014 budget requests to City council Nov. 18. Tourism Camrose is requesting funding in the amount of $60,000, up from $45,000 in 2013, so that it can increase hours or hire an additional staff member to ensure that future tourism opportunities can be addressed in a professional and timely manner. Tourism Camrose executive director Hazel Cail told council the part-time staff person will be able to keep the Tourism Camrose office going while she is out of town

doing what needs to be done to market Camrose and the region. She also noted the person would be good for succession planning. “I would like a person who could be groomed to take over the role that I now have.” Under the City’s current administrative structure everything tourism related is immediately referred to Tourism Camrose. “Right now there is no mechanism set up to handle things like the balloon championship, or the Tour of Alberta,” said Cail. “They have to land on somebody’s lap to get direction and get moving and it seems that more and more those types of events are turned over to Tourism Camrose to get the ball rolling.” Cail said it is important to increase the number of ways that Camrose and the region can be marketed. “There was a study

done by the Alberta Tourism on the potential demand for rural vacation experiences in Alberta by residents of Alberta. They surveyed people from the major cities and found that Camrose was the fifth most desirable city to visit and would come here if they had more information.” Tourism Camrose chair Judy Bergstrom said what Tourism Camrose needs is support so that Cail, as executive director, does not have to do everything and that more time can be spent on projects like social media. “We see the value of having a coordinator who is enthusiastic and out there promoting this great community. She logs a lot of hours and, in fact, we have to kind of reign her in and hold her back.” Tourism Camrose is a non-profit society with representatives from government and non-government organizations that is funded by annual operat-

ing grants from the City of Camrose and Camrose County and the sale of memberships. Over the last year it showcased Camrose at nine trade shows/information booths within a three-hour driving radius, played a major role in drawing the Tour of Alberta to Camrose during the selection phase, distributed a travel guide, promoted a Camrose Play and Stay golf package, and initiated a visitor friendly assessment. Twenty-seven businesses are participating in a boutique-style shopping initiative with Tourism Camrose to promote tourism shopping in Camrose. Sixteen of them provided discount coupons that were given away at the trade shows. A destination marketing fund (one per cent levy on accommodations) is used for marketing and promotion as determined by Tourism Camrose, the Norsemen Inn, Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino, Camrose Super 8,

Camrose Ramada, R & R Inn and Suites, Camrose Exhibition Trail RV Park and the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus. The Camrose Chamber of Commerce is requesting a an increase of $7,000 in the basic per capita grant (to $34,478) to help cover the operation of the visitor information centre (VIC) and the amount it pays summer students. “With the cancellation of the STEP program, which we used to offset summer student costs to staff the VIC, the Chamber of Commerce has had to subsidize the cost of staffing the VIC, which is not in compliance with the fee for service agreement between the City of Camrose and the Chamber of Commerce,” explained Chamber president Jennifer Filip in a Nov. 14 letter to City manager Damian Herle, Mayor Mayer and members of council.

Nationals for women's and men's teams will be in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, March 18 to 22.

Both the Augustana Vikings women's and men's rinks started strong and went 3-1 in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference Fall Curling Regionals at the Rose City Curling Club on Nov. 22 and 23. "I thought the men's team played well in the first four games. Before the weekend, I set a goal to go at least 3-3 and they accomplished that with two more games to go," said coach Roger Galenza. "NAIT has a strong team (the team to which Augustana lost), but we are right there with everyone else. The top four go to provincials and we showed that we can compete." Some of the teams finished the fifth game, so that could be a factor in the winter bonspiel. "We now have to play eight games instead of six in February, while other teams only have to make up one game," explained Roger. "It could make a big difference because of the momentum we gained in hosting the regionals here. We had the advantage because we slept in our own beds. It is always better to curl on your own ice because you know the ice is always keen here (Don Miller and his crew do a great job) and when we hung the banner saying home of the Vikings, it brought smiles to the faces of the local curlers." The men's team includes skip Andrew Evans, third Brad Schroeder, second Wyatt Warawa and lead Colton Warawa. Three teams, including the Vikings, ended up at 3-1 on the women's side of the draw. "I thought they may

have been inexperienced coming in, but they proved me wrong. They really stepped up and curled really awesome. They had Grande Prairie down 6-1 after four ends before the game was called. They probably would have won that game and Grande Prairie was 3-1 as well," Roger said. "We could have been at 5-1 after the weekend, which would have put us in a great spot. Again, my goal was to be at least at .500, so all of our teams curled well." The women's foursome consists of skip Sarah Brown, third Ashley Smith, second Taryn Williams and lead Lynnelle Mahe.

The mixed team also curled well and had a record of 2-2 in the round robin format. Some of the women's and men's games were postponed to February when Camrose had some trouble with the plant. "They had a poor showing in the first game, but I liked the way they bounced back and beat NAIT (the Ooks were the top team at 3-1 and only lost to Augustana). Considering all four curlers are in new positions, I thought they did quite well. It was a learning curve for them. We were right there with the other teams." The mixed team is made

up of skip Ben Bates, third Mari McLachlan, second Mike Mosich and lead Jessica Marchand. "I still want to work on strategy and deliveries, but we have lots of positive things to take forward," said the coach of the year last season. "The spirit and chemistry of the curlers and teams was good. The shot-making was good and overall they performed quite well. They did what they were asked to do." Now the curlers will go back to leagues at the curling club. "This gives them the opportunity to work on strategies. They can take a few

Augustana students will be able to join in the fun on the ice when the curling teams host a Funspiel that is open to students and athletes in other sports. The bonspiel on Dec. 7 will be held at the Rose City Curling Club. The proceeds from the event will help fund the Augustana curling program. "The Funspiel allows the students and athletes to try another sport and since the last day of classes for this semester is on Dec. 5, it is an opportunity to have some fun before the exams begin," said Roger. "It is also a change for everyone to meet our curling teams, while enjoying the day curling." All curlers will play in three, four end games. Registrations will be accepted on Dec. 3, 4 and 5 in the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus forum.

Augustana volleyball teams climb to higher level By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings women's volleyball team silenced the Medicine Hat Rattlers in women's volleyball with a 3-0 match in southern Alberta on Nov. 22. The Vikings won 25-17, 25-21 and 25-14 with Keri Acorn accounting for seven kills, Laura Kvemshagen adding three serve aces and Jill Metrunec producing 14 digs. Medicine Hat caught the Vikings off guard in the first encounter by winning their first game of the season. Augustana responded with three straight victories to win the match 3-1 by the scores of 22-25, 25-15, 25-21 and 25-22. Keri Acorn led the squad with seven kills and 13 digs. Laura Kvemshagen added 11 digs and Kiera Lotoski had seven kills. The men lost two straight 3-1 matches against a very good Rat-

tlers team. The Vikings won the first game and then dropped three straight in the 26-28, 25-14, 25-17 and 25-23 match. Cole McCartney led with nine kills and Thomas Regier came up with 18 digs. Augustana again won the first game before losing the match. Medicine Hat won 16-25, 25-23, 25-20, and 25-20. Luke Ryan and Andrew Kaliel led with nine kills each, and Regier had 14 digs. "We are not yet at the place where we are able to work through the issues of a tough game. We are pretty close. It's like speed chess. They are doing this, so we should be doing that. It comes done to experience. I'm pretty happy with where we are. The setter on that team (Medicine Hat) is from Australia and he has played international matches and that experience is huge," said coach Greg Ryan. "At the end of the day, you have

to win the last three or four points of each game. We are working towards being better when it counts the most." Last year, the Augustana athletic director emphasized how to train for the season. "This year, we are learning to win. It's not that we are not athletically able, it's that we are not quite really there yet," explained Greg. "It's like speed chess and baseball. If the hitters can adjust to different pitches or pitchers, then you are there. If not, you have some work to do. In volleyball, those adjustments have to be made in a hurry." The top volleyball teams in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference win because they know how to make those adjustments. "To be fair, we didn't teach them because they were not ready yet. Now we are getting to the point where we feel we can challenge them to be one of those

top teams," added Greg. "Another thing that has made a difference is that the team worked hard in the summer to be in shape for the year." The Vikings have over a month to prepare for the second half of the season. "We are going to B.C. to play some different teams. We are even thinking about going to Europe in the spring because international volleyball is at another level," said Greg. Augustana is away on Jan. 10 and home on Jan. 11 against SAIT to start the second half. The games begin at 6 and 8 p.m. Hockey Matt Foster scored four goals and added an assist to pace the Augustana Vikings hockey team to a 7-3 victory on home ice against the Concordia Thunder on Nov. 22. Scott Aucion, Darryl Gagnon and Mitchell Gartner chipped in with single

markers in support of Foster's big night. Goalie Andy Williams stopped 24 of 27 shots, while Augustana sent 35 at the Concordia netminder Rhys Hadfield. In the return match in Edmonton, Aucoin and Dane Bonish netted two tallies each in the 6-4 win. Josh Gillis and Adam Johnson recorded single markers. Williams turned away 30 of 34 shots in the Augustana net during the rough contest. The Augustana Students' Association will be holding a benefit road hockey game that begins at 7 p.m. on Dec. 4 in the Edgeworth Centre parking lot. All proceeds will go to KidSport Camrose. Augustana travels to Briercrest for two games to start the second half of the season. The next home game is on Jan. 17 against SAIT beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the EnCana Arena.

Dylan Olson makes impact with Florida By Murray Green

Former Camrose Kodiaks player Dylan Olsen is making an immediate impact on the Florida Panthers. The defenceman was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round in the 2009 National Hockey League draft. He played 28 games for the Blackhawks and earned one assist. On Nov. 14, he was traded to the Panthers along with Jimmy Hayes for Kris Versteeg and Philippe Lefebvre. In his first game with Florida, he recorded an assist and was plus two with a shot and three hits against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Walk a Mile event gains community support By Murray Green

If you think you have it tough, try walking a mile in the shoes of a battered wife, who suddenly left a bad situation, has to find a job and care for children on her own. It isn’t easy. The Camrose Women’s Shelter launched the Walk a Mile event three years ago to create awareness of family violence and to raise funds for programming, child care and support for women. Men have to complete the mile course in red high heel shoes to receive pledges. “We were continually looking for a way to raise funds for programming. Instead of holding events throughout the year, we wanted one main event to create awareness and raise funds to enable us to run at full capacity,” explained shelter executive director Loretta Johnson. “We tried it and had such good community support. It was good to see how the men got behind the initiative where they could show their support for women and children.” The first year of the event, 24 male walkers raised about $25,000. Last year, the participants reached 44, and $43,000 was brought in. “We want to increase the number of participants and money raised each year to keep up with the demand and increasing costs of programs,” said Loretta. “We want to encourage different groups to be involved.” In the past, the Camrose Women’s Shelter counted on grants for funding. “Some of those have been discontinued,” said Loretta. “We are really hoping that we can run a successful campaign to enable us to provide the services that we would like to be offering. This is not only for our shelter service, but also for our outreach program, which is how we support women as they transition to establish a new home in the community.” The shelter offers education for children with a teacher on staff. Walkers already signed up for the event attended a shoe distribution day on Nov. 19, where they tried on

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Participants in the Walk a Mile in her shoes fundraising event for the Camrose Women’s Shelter tried on shoes and began training for the Jan. 4 event at the EnCana Arena.

shoes and took home a pair to begin training for the long journey around the track at the EnCana Arena. It will be held during the intermissions of the Camrose Kodiaks game against Brooks at 7 p.m. on Saturday, January 4, 2014. “Holding the event during a hockey game has been great because we have a large audience. The humourous side to the event is watching how excited the men are to be involved in this event,” added Loretta. “They are having fun with it and that is what is important.” The third annual Walk a Mile event and silent auction raises awareness of domestic violence. “Over 400 women and children from surrounding communities access services through the Camrose Women’s Shelter every year. Our outreach program has another 100 to 150 individuals. We help with support, find a safe

home and encourage them to come back and use our services,” said Loretta. The Camrose Women’s Shelter wants more men to join in the fun and show their support for women and children by walking a mile in red high heel shoes. “It’s about raising community awareness and building relationships,” said Loretta. “There are various ways to be involved and we invite you to be a walker, a sponsor, a volunteer, a promoter, or a silent auction donator or bidder. It is an event the family can help with together.” Aaron’s Sales and Lease manager Ryan Weiss is preparing for his second walk. “It is a cause that I really believe in. It was a lot of fun after you get over the nervousness. There is no way that I wouldn’t do it again. My goal is to raise the most money for the event. I have my whole staff working on it,” said Ryan. “I donate a

portion – the first month of a lease – to the event. I’m trying to get all of the Aaron’s outlets involved. I’m doing what I should be doing to help the community. I would like to ask anybody to come and donate to support my walk.” Jeff Trumpour changed companies and positions, but he didn’t let that stop him from becoming involved in the walk again. “I was nervous at first because I didn’t know if I could do the walk. My business really supported me, so I knew that I had to go through with it. Practicing for the event actually hurt, but the more I walked, the easier it became,” said Jeff, commercial account manager at BMO (he was with AFSC last year). “Seeing how excited the guys were in the meeting room and the energy they had before the event gave me encourage-

ment and I was relaxed by the time it started.” Jeff is back because it was a great experience for him and it (funds) goes to a good cause. “It is a cause that I wish we didn’t have to walk for, but we need to. I loved to see the enthusiasm of not only the walkers, but the crowd as well,” he added. “The cheering made us feel good about what we were accomplishing. The hockey game is a guy’s event and when you have 44 walking in red high heels it makes a statement. It brings awareness that we need to do our part.” All proceeds benefit the Camrose Women’s Shelter Society. Tax deductible receipts are available for donations of $20 or more.

skier who wants to participate in the sport. “We encourage everyone to try out and you don’t have to belong to a club to do so. We have three age divisions and we are looking for eight male and eight female athletes to qualify for the Winter Games,” said Anita. The top two males and females in the mini-midget division of athletes born in 2002 and 2003 will advance. In the midget and juvenile age group, the top three male and female athletes will join the 16-member Zone 4 team.

Midgets will have been born in 2000 and 2001, while the juvenile age group is for those born in 1998 and 1999. The distance for the mini-midget and midget categories will be 2.5 kilometres, while the juveniles will complete a 5 km course. The Zone 4 qualifying event will be held in conjunction with the Camrose Ski Club Great Monkey Race to be held at the Stony Creek Centre. The event is scheduled to use the classic technique, with a mass start by age category and gender.

Cross-country skiers must be registered with the local ski club by 4 p.m. on Dec. 6. For more information about the Alberta Winter Games trials contact Anita at Eggink.anita@gmail.com.

Skiers not entering the Winter Games trials will be placed in the Great Monkey Race beginning at 1 p.m. Race distances will range from 0.3 km to 10 km, based on ages.

Dodge Journey Ultimate combination of form and function

Ed Rye By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Dodge Journey at Camrose Chrysler is the ultimate combination of form and function. Journey welcomes your travels with an interior that is designed with an amazing degree of versatility and bursting with technology, available all-wheel drive (AWD) and engine options that are as efficient as they are capable. Make the most of every day

Journey is the only crossover in Canada to offer the choice of either a fourcylinder or V6 engine. The 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing delivers 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, as well as some of the most advanced automotive engine technology. The estimated fuel ratings are 7.9 litres per 100 km on the highway. The 2.4 litre four cylinder features a strong balance of fuel economy (up to 7.7 litres per 100 km) and power (173 horsepower). Journey AWD not only grabs your attention, it grabs the road as well. The system makes easy work of snowy, wet or ice-laden road. When the system senses wheel slippage, it immediately responds with a transfer of power to the rear wheels for a very noticeable uptick in driving performance.

Flexibility

When it comes to storage, Journey's interior takes a back seat to no one. Every element of the interior was mapped and calculated to achieve optimal space for up to seven passengers and plenty of cargo room. Two second-row in-floor storage bins with removable, washable liners, each hold up to a dozen 385 ml cans plus ice. Latching lids also make these binds the perfect place for stowing valuable travel items or sports gear security out of sight. The available Flip 'n Stow fold-flat frontpassenger seat cushion flips forward to reveal a bin ideal for concealing a purse or personal items. With all the passenger seats folded, there's as much as 1,908 litres of cargo space. The map pockets, centre console and glove box provide even more room

to store the things you just can't leave home without. Ride comfort

Journey makes every ride more comfortable with plenty of lounge room, amazing interior flexibility and stadium seating. Need room for more than five passengers? Journey's got you covered with the available Flexible Seating Group that expands seating to seven. The standard 60/40 splitfolding and reclining secondrow seating offers spacious comfort, while its flexibility easily accommodates large loads. Your passengers will have easy access to the available 50/50 split-folding thirdrow seats thanks to rear doors that open 90 degrees and the Tilt 'n Slide secondrow seats. The premium six-speaker Alpine sound system provides optimal audio enjoy-

ment, while the available 115-volt two-prong power outlet allows passengers to plug in portable game systems or audio devices. The available awardwinning Uconnect system with 8.4-inch touch screen (the largest in its class) features easy-to-navigate access icons for radio, [erspma; decoces sicj as an iPod or smartphone, and comfort controls, as well as available features like SirriusXM Satellite Radio navigation and hands-free communication. Bring along your own tunes via remote SD card slot, remote USB port with mobile device control or Bluetooth streaming. The USB port can also charge your compatible devices. Safety

Journey offers over 50 safety and security features. Electronic Stability Control helps the driver maintain vehicle directional stability and limits oversteer or understeer. ESC includes All-Speed Traction Control, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation, and Trailer Sway Control. The standard four-wheel disc antilock brakes sense and prevent wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions. The available Parkview rear back-up camera displays an accurate visual reference

of what is behind you when you are in reverse. The standard Enhanced Accident Response System makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on interior lighting, flashing hazard lamps and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. It also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine. Journey's air bags offer protection for all rows of seating.

THANK YOU FOR SERVICE

New Camrose mayor Norm Mayer presented a gift to past Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers (right) Nov. 17 for his service to the City of Camrose over the past three years.

tion for fee for service would be $42,269.89. The allocation received in 2012 based on 17,236 citizens equals a per capita rate of $1.62, less than the 1990 rate. The Chamber is also requesting $1,000 for train insurance and $7,000 for parades. “Our current parade funding for both the Camrose BVJ Parade and all outof-town parades is $7,000 which we are able to operate with,” said Filip. “The Camrose Parade requires a minimum of 200 hours to organize (six weeks of fulltime hours). The balance is used to promote Camrose in out-of-town parades.” The Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park is requesting a $675 increase in its grant to $23,175 to cover the three per cent cost of living. Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park uses funds it receives from the City of Camrose to pay part-time administrative and operations management staff who carry out marketing and publicity, event planning, fundraising efforts and grant proposals.

Under the Tree campaign. “Our goal is to collect new children’s story books and add them to the Merry Christmas Fund hampers and the Kinettes Silent Santa toys,” said Lynne Hartwick, of Family Literacy. “We want to provide at least one new book for every child in families receiving hampers this year.” Parents are their children’s first and most important teachers. In fact, the building blocks of literacy occur in the home long before children go to school. “Early literacy development occurs as part of a child’s normal everyday life. When together as a family, they engage in literacy rich activities such as reading stories, singing songs, and having conversations,” added Lynne. Early literacy development contributes to increased communication, reading readiness and school success, so it is vital that all children have access to good quality books in their homes at an early age. “With Books Under the Tree, we can begin to make this happen. Consider giving the gift of literacy to children in Camrose this Christmas,” said Lynne.

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.

It’s three weeks before Christmas and it appears that some Camrose families may go hungry this year. The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund supplied more than 250 food hampers by raising just over $25,000 last year. “It is December now and we have only $4,000 collected,” said public relations chair Dale Debnam. “We are hoping people will come through for us because we would like to pay for the food on Dec. 18 when it is delivered. Food prices have gone up, so we need the full $25,000 to cover the costs.” Donations can be made at the Royal Bank and at the Camrose Fire Department. The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund is a registered charity, so people will be mailed a tax receipt during the first two weeks in January if they request one. The hampers are delivered to homes on Saturday, Dec. 21 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. to start delivering hampers,” said Dale. “We always need help unpacking the food on Wednesday, as well as delivering the hampers.” 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,” said Dale. The number at the centre is 780-679-3220. Dale is thankful for the support the community has given to the project over the years. “We are looking for the community to come through for us again to make Christmas a little brighter for everyone,” she said. Volunteers also help deliver toys packaged by the Camrose Kinettes. “Some hampers will also have toys to deliver at the same address. The Kinettes sort and package the toys, the Lions Club picks them up and drops them off to us and we send them out with the food hampers,” explained Dale. “If volunteers have a small vehicle we give them hampers without a lot of toys and those who have a larger vehicle can take more.” For more information, or to volunteer with the Merry Christmas Fund contact Larry Schultz at 780-6721493. If you need a donation picked up contact Dale Debnam at 780-672-8777.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, December 3, 2013 – Page 47

Kodiaks ground Eagles in two straight games By Murray Green The Camrose Kodiaks needed seven players in the shoot out to determine the out come of the game against the Canmore Eagles in Alberta Junior Hockey League action at the EnCana Arena Nov. 24. Braeden Salverda scored to give the Kodiaks the extra point in the 2-1 contest. It was a valuable series because it allowed Camrose to draw even with the Eagles in the standings. Both clubs then had 30 points. Stefan Danielson scored for Camrose in the shoot out, but Canmore also scored. “It feels good to be here. You never know what to expect after a trade, but this is a good place to come to and play hockey,” said Braeden, who arrived with Spencer Kryczka and Stefan from Okotoks. “It’s good to step in and find team success. You have different routines and schedules and you feel like a rookie again. At first, it was weird switching teams, but it took less than a day to get used to because the guys here are so welcoming.” Kryczka collected a first period tally for the Kodiaks on the power play. The Eagles came back in the middle frame with a man advantage. After neither team could generate a goal in the third or overtime periods, a shoot out was held to decide the outcome. Camrose dominated the play for most of the game, but the Eagles grew stronger as the game wore on. The Kodiaks had the edge in shots 45-27. The Kodiaks blanked Canmore 3-0 in the first game of the weekend series. Goalie Devin McDonald stopped all 29 shots he faced in the Camrose net. Nelson Gadoury, Brett

Njaa and Salverda garnered the marker for the Kodiaks. “My role has changed since I’ve been her,” said Braeden. “I’ve been asked to play more offensively. It’s definitely a nice change and fun to have that opportunity. It’s exciting and I’m really happy to be here.” Braeden wants to help his club move up in the standings. “We needed those four points and it was a big weekend. The standings are bunching up, so it is important to pick up the four points, especially against teams ahead of us. That’s huge even though we let them have a point,” said Braeden. “We have to beat the teams from the south to keep moving up and separate us from those other teams.” Braeden wants to receive a scholarship, but he is just focusing on hockey in Camrose right now. “I’m concentrating on hockey and I want to help Camrose move up and play well in the playoffs, so we are in a position to win a championship,” he said. “I think this team is capable of a championship because we have a great group of guys.” Camrose hosts the Calgary Mustangs on Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. Remember to bring a stuffed bear for the 14th annual Teddy Bear Toss against the Mustangs. The animals or toys donated at the hockey game will go to less fortunate children in Camrose and the surrounding area. The last home games in December for Camrose will be on Dec. 13 and 14 when the Sherwood Park Crusaders and Drumheller Dragons stop in for a visit.
