A contest sponsored by The Camrose Booster and Re/MAX challenged Camrose homeowners to decorate the exterior of their home in a way that would capture the wonder of Christmas. We invited our readers to share addresses of homes which would provide joy for others as a result of masterful placement of lights and other means of enhancement for the festive season. On the evening of Wednesday, December 12 a team of five adult judges travelled the residential streets of Camrose in search of the home which, through their collective eyes, stood out above the rest.

in the 2013 Decorate Your Home for Christmas Contest is located at 4801-49 street. Owned and decorated by Andrew and Laurie Little, the extensive decorating (inside and out) is a reflection of their passion for this joyous and celebrated time of year. This labour of love took the couple two full weekends. In the light of day, this home symbolically spells out ‘Merry Christmas’ with large, bright red bows and strands of spruce garland carefully installed on each of the home’s distinctive, original windows. In the darkness of night the property comes alive with decorated spruce trees, a beautifully lit trellis, and a multitude of glowing and dancing lights that span both levels/three To Rural Homes sides of the historic home plus the detached garage. Unique decorations have been tastefully hung With Booster with care off of the front veranda, in addition to being strategically placed around the private yard. The second story balcony on the rear of the home has been equally beautifully decorated  for viewing pleasure. One of the judges summed up the home’s Christmas charm perfectly, ✔  “It’s a home that’s been done up perfectly, yet it’s not overdone!”

✔   ✔*  ✔*  ✔* 

For their efforts, The Camrose Booster has given the Little’s $100 toward their December electricity bill. RE/MAX has donated $100 to the couple’s preferred charity – Brigantia Place.

Gregg Shute's love for music lives on because his friends continue to raise funds for music projects in and around the Camrose community . This year, the students in the Rocker’s Haven Club at Ryley School received a donation of music equipment worth about $6,000 from the Shuter Memorial Fund of Camrose on Nov. 28. "The new equipment includes three Fender amps, four Fender guitar and amp kits, microphones, microphone stands, a Yamaha mixer, Yorkville keyboard amp, Gibson guitar stools, music stands, cables, guitar strings and guitar straps," explained music director Adam Madsen. In addition, the Kinsmen Club of Camrose donated a $1,000 gift card to Martha’s Music in Camrose to be used for additional musical supplies for the club. "Rocker’s Haven would like to thank the Shuter Memorial Fund and the Kinsmen Club of Camrose for their generous and overwhelming donations," said Adam. The Shuter Memorial Fund was established in 2009 in memory of Gregg whose life was cut short in a tragic car accident. "In 2009, we hosted the very first 'Shuter Tribute Day' to honour a great friend and human being," said friend Paula Tomaszewski. "It was an amazing day of friendship, fund-raising and live music." This group of friends hosts the Shuter Tribute Day in Camrose as a fund-raiser and then donates the proceeds to support and grow the local music community. Gregg grew up near Round Hill and worked in Camrose at Evraz Camrose Works. He loved people, music and outdoor activities. A memorial account is set up at the ATB branch for anyone wishing to donate in memory of Gregg. If you know of someone that is a young talented musician or know of a local music group that would benefit from the support of the Shuter Memorial Fund, contact members of

BOMAN’S Radiator Shop

Est. 1960

By Murray Green Former Camrose musician Jaron Rovensky is returning from Europe to play in the Bailey Theatre on Friday, Dec. 21. It's one thing he wanted to do before the world ends. According to the Mayans, it marks the end of the calendar, so Jaron insisted he play near his hometown with his family and friends. He is returning to his roots through the Rose City Roots Music Society concert series. Jaron is a natural musician. He received instant success because he always played himself on stage. Certainly he had his early influences, but in the end he cut his own path in the music world with no regrets. His energy and expression have shone through his music, both on the piano and on guitar. Jaron's first major musical influence was Tom Waits and the backdrop was his Coronation-based upbringing. He was known in the beginning as that “cute Rovensky boy who plays real good.” He eventually relocated to experience city life in Camrose. After garnering a minimum wage job at an Irish pub as a bartender and luring the boss with his musicianship, he released his first album in 2001 entitled Where am I Going to? After winning over as many local fans as he could with his piano skills, Jaron decided to move up a notch and headed off to Europe. In the last six years, he has entertained audiences in countries such as Norway, Switzerland, Ireland and the Caribbean. He also hooked up with Joe Hardy (producer of ZZ Top, Tom Cochrane, Steve Earle, and Colin James albums) to record This Feeling in Nashville and Houston. Jaron has a knack of filling the stage and room with his presence, piano and guitar. He can entice an audience to dance with his pounding, rhythm guitar or his ivory-tickling fingers. He gives all of his energy to the audience during every show and maybe even a little extra for his Bailey Theatre show. The former local waiter is back in North America and is excited to continue writing songs, perform for audiences and leave fans with the same serenity and clarity that moved him to make music his career. Tickets to the 8 p.m. show are available at the Bailey Theatre box office.

ALL taking rural transportation plans to next level By Dan Jensen

The Association for LifeWide Living (ALL) of Alberta is taking its plans for a rural transportation network to the next level. ALL will be submitting a request for proposal before Dec. 21 to the Medically At Risk Driving Centre (MARD), which is offering a grant of $75,000 for the establishment of a rural transportation pilot project. The funding is dependent on communities that want to participate in the pilot project providing matching grants or in-kind support. Camrose County agreed at its Dec. 11 meeting to provide $32,500 from the Bashaw Ambulance Reserve Account, while Provost and area and the Alber-

ta Rural Development Network have each made commitments of $10,000 in cash and $10,000 in kind. An announcement on the successful proposal will be made Jan. 14. ALL sees the pilot project as a natural continuation of a transportation project it undertook this past summer that involved the use of a bus from Bashaw to provide transportation to Camrose for residents in communities along Highway 21. The project was supported by the Camrose Thrift Store, Alberta Government Summer Temporary Employment Program (STEP), Bashaw and District Health and Wellness, Camrose County and hundreds of volunteers.

Phase II of the project will begin in 2013. ALL president Dr. Jane Ross told Camrose City council in a meeting Dec. 3 it sees Camrose as a hub for a transportation project that would cover an area that has boundaries similar to that of the Battle River Watershed Alliance, stretching all the way from Battle Lake in the west to Provost in the east. "I sort of anticipated in talking to the partners that there might be some resistance towards looking at Camrose as our hub, but I have found just the opposite," said Dr. Ross. "There is a real interest and encouragement about starting here. People say they have to get to Camrose anyway. It has been

really remarkable this surge of good will." Dr. Ross said the feeling of doctors in Provost is that the project has to start somewhere. "They are willing to support a Camrose based initiative for starters with a regional concept, and that seems quite encouraging." Dr. Ross said there is a real benefit to working regionally and getting to know others from beyond our own areas. "A lot happens when you ride on a bus. It gets people talking about things in the community. They visit and information is exchanged." ALL feels a rural transportation network that is community and needs driven, assetbased, place rich and region wide would benefit medically

at risk individuals and others in accessing health providers, preventive social services, religious services and clubs and organizations. "The vision is a collaborating region of communities where individuals can travel freely as they choose, regardless of their place of residence, physical abilities, age or financial means," said Dr. Ross. "Of course the constitutional background for all of this is the Canada Health Act, where transportation and access to health services is to be equally accessible by everyone." Dr. Ross believes the barriers to a transportation network could be reduced if the services and buses that are already in existence were properly utilized. Continued on page 29

Christmas Fund reaches half-way point By Murray Green

The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund requires $30,000 this holiday season to provide between 260 and 300 food hampers to less fortunate residents. Last year, over $28,000 was spent on 260 food hampers and the need is expected to be greater this year. "A shortfall in funding last year wiped out any accumulated surplus, so if the necessary money isn’t received, the amount of food in each hamper will have to be reduced," said treasurer Dorothy Marshall. To date $14,000 has been received for the fund, so organizers are almost half way to the goal. "If we don’t get the donations, we can’t purchase the food. Time is getting short because the hampers will be delivered before Christmas," added Dorothy. "We are beginning to be cautiously optimistic. When people are aware of the need they give what they can, and as the awareness is growing, people are doing just that. Some of us are blessed with so much and it is a good time of year to remember the needs of others.” Donations can be made at the Camrose Fire Hall or the Royal Bank. Each cent raised goes to purchasing food. The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund is a registered charity and donations are tax deductible. The food hampers are distributed to needy families in Camrose and area. "This is neighbours helping neighbours, and these people rely on this food to get them through the season. Christmas can be a very difficult time of year for the less fortunate and those who are struggling to put food on their tables," said Dorothy. The hampers will be packed at the Camrose Fire Hall and delivered on the morning of Saturday, December 22. Pairs of volunteers are still needed to help with the deliveries, and if you would like to be involved, deliveries will start at 9 a.m. at the Camrose Fire Hall.

STUFFING AN AMBULANCE Murray Green, Camrose Booster Alberta Health Services EMS Camrose staff from left to right, Ashley Czar, Devon Havinga, Natasha Schiebelbein and Saryn Switzer were kept busy collecting food and toys for local charities in the annual Stuff the Ambulance event at Safeway on Dec. 8. EMS collected 4,400 pounds of food, toys and $1,900 in cash.

Residents to pay more for water in 2013 By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents will be

paying more for their utilities in 2013. City council passed a pair of bylaws at its Dec. 10 meeting that will see water and wastewater rates go up by three and five per cent respectively. The basic charge for water starting Jan. 1 will be $23.83 per month. The water consumption charge starting Jan. 1 will be $1.70. The residential sewer consumption charge for residences with weeping tile connected to the sanitary sewer will be $0.756 per cubic metre. Fixed charges for such items as initial meter installation or reconnection fees, as well as the acceptance of hauled sanitary or non-sanitary wastewater directly at the lagoons

will stay at the levels they have been for the last few years. City acting general manager, engineering services, Jeremy Enarson told council in a report that higher rates are required to account for increases to the water operating and wastewater operating budgets versus what was budgeted in 2012 and to finance capital projects which are anticipated within the 2013-17 capital budget. The 2013 water and wastewater rates include a franchise fee of nine per cent, which is used to help offset general operating expenditures related to the provision of water and sewer utilities such as administration, overhead, and road right-of-way maintenance. Bulk water rates starting Jan. 1 will be $5.26 per cubic

metre, an increase of 3.9 per cent over the 2012 rates. City of Camrose utilities are self-funded through user fees and utility rates. Residential waste While water and waste water charges are going up, the rates City residents will be paying for residential waste collection and disposal will stay the same. "Under the residential waste collection contract with BFI Canada Inc., which also includes the yard waste and limited organics collection, we see no adjustment to the rates ($5.84 /month) for waste collection and ($3.66/month) for the yard waste/kitchen organics collection in 2013," said a report from City director, infrastructure services, Mark Barrett. The tag for garbage bags

beyond the two bags per week limit will still be available for $5.00 per bag. The rate helps the City recover costs of operating the collection program and serves as a deterrent for exceeding the bag limit. Higher commodity sales prices over the last couple of years have enabled the City to keep the recycling fee consistent at $4.25 per month. As a result, no changes to the recycling fee are required. The combined utility waste collection charges (solid waste and compost) saw an aggregate three per cent decrease in 2012. The waste disposal facility is under the direction of the Camrose Regional Solid Waste Authority, administered through the City of Camrose engineering services department.

KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE THIS HOLIDAY The holiday season is a time of high fire risk! Fires, injuries, death and property losses increase significantly during the holidays. Heating, candles, cooking, and smoking cause the majority of fires during the holiday season. Practice fire safety in all of your holiday season activities by keeping the following in mind: • Keep your natural Christmas tree moist and away from heat sources. • Keep decorations away from lights and candles. • Keep matches, candles and lighters away from children. • Don’t overload your electrical circuits. • Don’t place space heaters too close to combustible items. • Test your smoke alarms. • Plan and practice a home fire escape plan.

CARRIERS

Doug Schwartz Circulation Manager

A great deal of teamwork is essential to successfully bring news of community happenings, commercial events and opportunities to residents of Camrose on a regular and dependable basis. Perhaps the most critical part of the team is the group responsible for distribution. Without the successful completion of their phase, all the efforts of sales, graphic design, news, production, and printing are for nothing. The individuals who represent our distribution group face the elements throughout the year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; wind and rain, sleet and snow, hot and cold â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to bring The Booster and various other material and samples to your door. They are the most faithful, diligent and reliable group of people we could hope to find. We praise them and thank them for jobs well done!

In spite of the fact that our carriers call at each residence in Camrose at least twice a week, many householders never see them. The carriers who deliver The Booster on Tuesdays and accomplish our Thursday deliveries as required are shown here. By matching the route numbers on the map with the pictures, readers may identify the person who delivers in their area.

The Community Has Spoken! Back on October 23rd we photographed 57 macho men working in the Camrose automotive business sector. Each was clean shaven for their photo session. Then, for the next 28 days, the entourage from The Auto Shoppe, McClellan Wheaton GM, Audio Video Unlimited, Camrose Chrysler, D&D Vehicle Sales, Glover International Trucks and Lamb Ford were challenged to sprout the best moustache humanly possible, in this very short period. Our quest was to raise money and awareness for Movember, a month which focuses on Prostate Cancer and other diseases common to men. The Camrose Booster re-photographed the various achievements and works of manhood: the pencils, the fumanchus, the horse shoes, the toothbrushes, the English and a few attempts which likely bear no known names in recognized moustachery! At stake was a chance for one of the many good sports to earn the title of ‘Camrose Mo Bro’. This title depicts the Camrose gent who, after this one month endeavor, is deemed best to step up, shine and lead with confidence. We invited Booster readers to make this important decision by voting. Based on the volume of fax, email and votes dropped off at our office we proudly proclaim Kevin Hycha as Camrose Mo Bro! Thank you participants for growing, itching and scratching your way through this process. 4925-48 Street, Camrose Thank you Camrose and Phone 780-672-3142 district for joining us in Email ads@camrosebooster.com this crucial decision!

"I have found there are 17 centres with vans that are used really inadequately. If we could hook all of those vans together in a system it could be a really good thing." Councillor John Howard said while he has a deep seated appreciation for any work that is done to get money from the government, he has concerns about government cutting off funding for projects once they have proven to work. "Pilot projects at this stage of my career scare the living daylights out of me because they don't have sustainability and they don't have continuity. I just wonder if MARD or ALL has any information as to what would happen when this pilot project is successful and we have created a massive amount of expectation about transportation and then the City gets on with their life and Flagstaff County gets on with their life and the buses are finished because there is no money to run them. My fear is not of the pilot project failing but the project succeeding and creating expectations we cannot sustain." ALL representative Mr. Ted Wigglesworth said ALL is not just trying to put into a pilot project but a sustainability plan that will work regardless of what happens. "With MARD we are looking at the money in a sense of doing a pilot project, investigating how things need to come together in order to make it work. If MARD drops out of the picture totally at the end of that phase that is fine as far as we are concerned because we see their funding as only being a part of looking at and developing what needs to be done in the sense of information and the process of how to do it and how to make it duplicable." Dr. Ross said the Alberta Rural Development Network is committed to helping ALL expand research partnerships. She added that ALL has started to talk with some of the oil companies in the Hardisty area and has done a lot of footwork already on the longer term business plan. Dr. Ross said what ALL was able to learn this summer provides a good foundation and shows that the educational component is as important as the dollar part. Continued on page 30

ALL preparing request for proposal for rural transportation project Continued from page 29

"Sometimes people know there is a van in their community because they see it going back and forth but they don't necessarily use it because they think it is only for the seniors or only for the disabled. Mr. Wigglesworth said the Highway 21 transportation network currently charges $12 for a Bashaw to Camrose round

trip, and will move riders to a different location while they are in Camrose. Councillor Max Lindstrand reminded ALL that whatever it does with Phase II of the rural transportation network and beyond is going to have a long term cost and that whatever network is established is not going to be able to be self sustaining. He suggested one of the best things the City can

do to help ALL is to develop some type of internal transportation system. "I think that would complement this plan as well as anything if we had something where we were supporting this network you have developed here." The MARD Centre is located in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta. The Centre is

a partnership-driven initiative between the U of A and numerous public and private stakeholders, including the provincial ministries of Health and Transportation, the Insurance Bureau of Canada, community-based organizations and agencies, not-for-profit organizations, health care professionals and researchers. MARD has identified, in previous work, a number of mod-

els of alternate transportation for seniors used in rural areas in Canada and the United States, with demonstrated sustainability over a significant period of time. Its intent is to utilize the learning and expertise from those service providers in the implementation of a responsive model or models, depending on the needs of the communities, in the pilot area.

I recently saw a news segment describing a proposal by Ontario doctors that is promoting reducing obesity by placing gruesome images of diseased or ulcerous body parts on containers for fast food and high sugar foods. This proposal is not new. Clearly, the idea is to follow the practice of using graphic images to illustrate the harmful consequence of nicotine use in an attempt to reduce levels of cigarette smoking. If you don't smoke, look at a cigarette package and in all probability you will be disgusted by the image it contains. However, for smokers, the effect of these images may be quite different from their intended effect. Every time smokers pull out their pack and take out a cigarette, they see these striking images. The problem is that these images are closely followed by the nicotine hit that drives the smoking habit in the first place. As a result, instead of becoming aversive stimuli that will discourage smoking, these images now become signals that activate the cravings of the smoker. They become part of the fairly constant set of cues that precede smoking, including the time of day, location and social surroundings. Once the habit is established, these signals that precede the nicotine dose start to activate cravings. They also activate the anticipation that the next dose will relieve the feelings driving the habit in the first place. Nicotine has the same activating effect on the brain's pleasure system as other drugs of abuse like cocaine or crystal meth or heroin. After being shown images of drug related items, the brain scans of addicted individuals showed strong activation. At the same time the users reported that they felt strong cravings which typically induce more drug use. The images on cigarette packages have been shown to generate the same brain activation and cravings in cigarette smokers. In addition, these images are very salient so the association between them and the relief provided by smoking becomes even stronger. Using the same line of reasoning, we can expect the same conditioning effect to occur with images placed on fast food containers in order to reduce obesity. The eating behaviour that leads to obesity can be seen as a form of addiction, and certainly we know that the smell of a hamburger activates the same brain pleasure regions as drugs of abuse. In the same way that images on cigarette packages reinforce the smoking habit, it won't take long for images on fast food containers to acquire the property of increasing food cravings. This will add even more salient signals to the barrage of ads for fast foods that assails our senses daily, enhancing the cravings we feel, and defeating the purpose of the proposal. If doctors, or better still, governments truly want to attack the problem of obesity, they will need to take on the restaurant and fast food industry and compel them to provide calorie counts on their menus and signs. The displayed information that a tub of popcorn in a movie theater is over 1,400 calories has been shown to drastically reduce popcorn consumption. This is a politically difficult approach, because it means taking on powerful food corporations who do not want to put calorie counts on their products. However, it is a much more effective way to reduce obesity.

Cargill bylaws passed By Dan Jensen

The canola crushing plant Cargill is proposing to build south and east of Camrose is another step closer to becoming reality. Council gave final reading Dec. 10 to a bylaw that redistricts land east of Camrose Regional Exhibition and south of Highway 13 from agricultural to medium industrial and a bylaw which addresses, through an area structure plan, that land's general use, transportation and servicing framework. The redistricting bylaw was required in order to build a rail line along Highway 13 south through the Glen lands located within City boundaries to the proposed Cargill plant within the County. Camrose County council formally adopted the Cargill area structure plan at its Nov. 27 meeting. Feedback

Dave Solverson and Lester Millang spoke in favour of the bylaws and the Cargill proposal at a public hearing that was advertised by the City for two consecutive weeks. Solverson noted that Cargill has been a good corporate citizen that cares about the people it serves. "In 2001 there was really widespread drought out there. There was no barley left in western Canada. They went to great lengths to source some corn for us. They helped us by bringing in a few cars of corn." Solverson also told of how Cargill provided $12,000 for a solar panel project at the high school and continued to purchase

cattle at market prices when the plant at Brooks was having its troubles with E. coli. "They could have chosen to buy cattle at a couple hundred dollars a head lower and still had their plant full but they chose not to. I think they are interested in the sustainability of the cattle industry." Millang said Cargill changed the dramatics of grain handling in the area for good when they built the elevator west of Camrose. "Before they came to town or Ervick we couldn't find anybody to test or buy grain on the weekend. That soon changed when Cargill came in. The other companies had to realize there was real competition for them." Millang said the proposed Cargill crushing facility will bring many new dollars into the community based on the estimated production. "Just a sample of what a trainload of canola today is worth. An average train of 100 cars carries 100 tonnes. At $600 per tonne that is $60,000 a car or $6 million per train." Cargill presentation

Doug Collison, vice president of Cargill's oilseeds crush division, told council that the plant would create between 50 and 75 jobs and have an initial annual crush volume of 850,000 tonnes. He added that 100 per cent of the product from the plant will be shipped out on rail cars, either in unit trains of 100 to 110 cars, or on small groups of 20 to 25. Continued on page 37

Letters to the Editor

CHURCH SUPPORTS MERRY CHRISTMAS FUND Murray Green, Camrose Booster Merry Christmas Fund chairman Larry Schultz accepts $500 from St. Andrew's Anglican Church Women treasurer Mary Caunt. The Merry Christmas Fund provides food hampers for less fortunate residents in the area.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Inexplicable Joy When I and my sister were small, our mother read stories to us. In those days long ago, readings included The Little Red Hen, The Three Little Pigs, The Ant and the Grasshopper. Sitting on each side of our mother, our eyes on the book in her lap, we followed her finger as it underlined the words she was reading. In time, we became so familiar with the pictures and stories, and liked them so much, that we would virtually “read” them over and over again by ourselves even though we had not yet been to school. Throughout my life I have fondly recalled the moral lessons of those simple tales: fairness and the wisdom of planning for the future.. Adults are like children; they re-read books they like and they see the movie versions over and over again. So it is for many of us that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a must replay to see, perhaps for the umpteenth time, during each Christmas season. Why? Because it is such an inspirational, happily-ending story of redemption. Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is about the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge, a cranky, self-serving miser in London, England, in the 1800s. His response to “Merry Christmas” was “Bah! Humbug!” until a series of dreams changed his life. While in a deep sleep he was visited by three spirits: the Ghost of Christmases Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmases Yet to Come. The first two ghosts replayed for Scrooge his greedy, messed-up, miserable life. The third ghost leaped ahead past Scrooge’s eventual, inevitable death and depicts the disdain with which others would view his life. This literally brought the mean and miserly curmudgeon to his knees pleading for a chance to change path. Scrooge then suddenly awoke to find that he was actually still alive and did indeed have a chance to redeem himself. He was overwhelmed with gratitude and inexplicable joy. To express that ecstasy, Dickens wrote: “I don’t know what to do!” cried Scrooge, laughing and crying in the same breath; ... “I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A Merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world.” In the novel, Dickens added: “And it was always said of him (Scrooge, following his transformation), that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that truly be said of us, and all of us! ...” Another quote has Scrooge saying, “Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead. But if they be departed from, the ends will change.” I am grateful that words which flowed from Dickens’ quill pen and ink over one hundred and fifty years ago are still causing living persons to reflect on their own lives – past and present, and contemplate the future their behavior foreshadows. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is plainly based on the teachings of Christ, whose birth is observed on December 25th, and on the golden rule – Love one another – which is common to all the world’s great religions. Best wishes for the peace, joy and hope that radiates from loving our neighbours as ourselves!

Property rights advocate in name only Dare we ask how a man appointed by the government to a government position (Property Rights Advocate) can provide impartial and independent information? What did Lee Cutforth's extensive background entail? His CV at the legal firm where he works cites farming background, but gives no details! BA at U. of Lethbridge; law at Saskatoon; a law firm in Saskatchewan in 1988; some teaching; active in his church community. So how does that make him a "significant resource" for Albertans fighting big industry and the offensive government Bills (36, 19, 50 and all their ineffective amendments, and now Bill 2)? Minister Denis's news release claims a wealth of legal expertise and an appreciation of the dynamics between property rights and government processes?" How so? The news release does not tell us how or why his background will help support Albertans to protect their property and rights? What sort of law did he enforce? Working legal matters re small business, contracts, employment, real estate, wills/ estates" and some civil litigation and injury claims hardly qualifies him to take on the carnage of Bill 36 and Bill 2, and help Albertans in their battle with the energy industry! He won't have any power to amend Bill 36 and Bill 2, let alone facilitate the repeal of these Bills, as we asked. Both these Bills trample our rights? What good is an advocate who is beholding to this PC government? This announcement has been a long time coming, but it has not been worth waiting for! Minister Denis must surely be aware of the fact that Albertans did not ask for an advocate. We asked that these Bills be repealed, and landowners' rights restored. This government, which claims to be listening, is apparently hard of hearing. It seems to have misinterpreted and/ or not understood that there is a difference between repealed and repeated. And, in error, has just given Albertans more of the same (Bills 36, 10, 19, 23, 8 and now 2) This is a serious misinterpretation of what Albertans

have been requesting. Disgruntled. Marion Leithead Bawlf Consider actual not imagined faults I think I'd better think it out again! Professor Parker, in his Second Thought of 4 December, calls into question the assertion “that there has never been a documented case of fracking polluting groundwater in any of the two million or so fracking events that have occurred worldwide.” The author of this statement is not identified except as “the main spokesman for the industry.” However, writes Professor Parker, “the crucial evidence required to support the claim that fracking has not led to the polluting of groundwater was never even mentioned, let alone presented.” Let us overlook the impracticality of presenting detailed scientific analyses to lay people at this type of venue and look instead at what the director of the US EPA, an agency with no love for the petroleum industry, said just last year. “… in May 2011 EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson testified in a Senate Hearing Committee stating "I'm not aware of any proven case where the fracking process itself has affected water ...” Documentation is easily found on the internet and can usually be understood by anyone with rudimentary reading skills. Professor Parker has used his rhetorical skills to cast suspicion and doubt on an industry which, for the most part, has acted ethically. Using innuendo and conspiracy theories to cast aspersions on the people who monitor resource extraction is the last refuge of the sophist. No industry, indeed, no person, is without fault. Accidents will happen. It is within the realm of possibility, even of probability, that some contamination has resulted from fracking. In the case of actual contamination the industry has, however reluctantly in some cases, taken remedial action. We use petroleum products because they are cheap, plentiful, versatile, and have a low environmental impact when used responsibly. It is right and proper that we monitor the resource industry and hold them to account for their faults. But let us hold them accountable for their actual faults, not our suspicious imaginings. Dave Gosse, Camrose Do you want to see? What if God was one of us? So what’s Christmas all about? Is it just an excuse to break the monotony of a cold and snowy winter with trees, lights, and presents? Or is there something larger behind the curtain? A few years ago, singer Joan Osborne released a song titled “One of Us.” The lyrics

are, “What if God was one of us, Just a slob like one of us, Just a stranger on the bus, Trying to make His way home.” Some Christians might think these lyrics are irreverent or blasphemous. But, sung in a wistful style, and her only hit, it reaches our hearts. The lyrics ask some profound questions. How can God understand what it is like for me, a human being living under sentence of death in a broken world? God is an all powerful, perfect being; how can He understand my troubles? The answer to that question is “Christmas.” At Christmas, in the middle of winter, the darkest and coldest part of the year, we remember God became “One of Us.” God lowered himself to become a human being. God didn’t come as a great king full of pomp and circumstance. He came as a child, weak and helpless, born to a poor carpenter ... one of the least of us. Isaiah wrote of Him, “There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.” Or, as the song goes, “Just a slob like one of us, Just a stranger on the bus.” God became “One of Us,” a human being living under sentence of death in a broken world. It wasn’t a lark, a chance to go slumming, a chance to see “how the other half lives.” It was part of a plan to restore a broken world. Isaiah adds, “He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.” Here is where I part ways with the lyrics, He isn’t “trying to make His way home,” He is “trying to take us all home”... with Him ... at great personal cost. The song continues, “If God had a face, what would it look like, And would you want to see, If seeing meant that you would have to believe, In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the Saints, And all the Prophets and ...” God’s face looks like the baby in the manger. “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” He came for you and me. The final question is, “Do you want to see?” God grant us all a joyous Christmas. Dave Gosse, Camrose Politicians do not represent us Of all my years I have never seen bad politics as I have seen in the world now. As I read what people write I come to sad realization that we have all been misled as to what this thing called democracy really is. Continued on page 46

New Dodge Ram 1500 MotorTrend Truck of the Year for 2013 By Dan Jensen

If you haven't yet seen the 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 at Camrose Chrysler, you're in for a pleasant surprise. "It's an entirely new truck with technology and features not offered anywhere else," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier. The Dodge Ram 1500 is designed, engineered and executed to strike at the emotional chords of the "Guts and Glory" mindset of enthusiasts and potential buyers. In form and function it conveys boldness, valor, virtue and power-oriented capability like no other in its class." Powertrain

The award-winning Pentastar 3.6-litre V-6 engine delivers best-in-class fuel economy and substantial increases in power and performance. Horsepower is rated at 305 at 6,400 rpm, while torque is 269 lb.-ft. at 4,175 rpm. Nearly 90 per cent of the engine's peak torque is available from 1,800 to 6,400 rpm, an important consideration when towing or hauling a load. With 395 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 407 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,950 rpm, the 5.7-litre HEMI V-8 (Ram 1500 Tradesman Heavy Duty) can tow 11,500 pounds and handle a payload of 3,125 pounds. Fuel enhancing features with the HEMI include cylinder shut-off technology, which deactivates four cylinders of the engine during light acceleration or cruising situations on the highway when full V-8 power is not needed. Additionally, VVT technology improves fuel economy by first reducing the engine's pumping work by closing the intake valve later, and second, by increasing the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more energy to be transferred to the wheels instead of being lost out of the exhaust as heat. VVT also improves engine breathing, which improves engine efficiency and power. The new 8HP45 eight-speed automatic transmission is the new standard transmission for Ram 1500 with V-6. For HEMI V-8 equipped Ram 1500 models, the higher torque capacity version 8HP70 will be available in the first quarter of 2013. Owners will appreciate an innovative rotary e-shift dial for trucks equipped with the new TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission that replaces both column and floor shifters. The exclusive rotary e-shift enables intuitive operation with a direct and confident feel, even with gloves on. The convenient dash-mounted, easy-to-understand and operate system provides total control of the sophisticated eight-speed transmission, and is Ram Truck's innovative approach to electronic shifters already used in Class 6-8 trucks. Fully automatic, both the 8HP45 and 8HP70 transmissions feature on-the-fly shift map changing. More than 40 individual shift maps for very specific conditions optimize shift quality and shift points for fuel economy, performance and driveability. The intel-

ligent software takes into account variables including engine torque gradients, kick down events, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, hill detection, friction detection and downshift detection to determine the appropriate shift map. Additional parameters integrated into the control strategy include vehicle speed control, electronic stability control interaction, and temperature. The result is automatic shifting ideally attuned to the performance requirements of almost any driving demands. Stop-start

Adding to industry firsts in a pickup truck is the application of stop-start, another fuel-saving feature available on select Ram 1500 models. This new system improves fuel economy by up to 3.3 per cent. Stop-start increases fuel efficiency by shutting the engine off when the truck comes to a complete stop. Amenities (radio, gauges, heating or air conditioning) continue to operate, making the operation transparent to the driver. The engine restarts automatically when the driver releases the brake, allowing seamless acceleration. Air suspension

The 2013 Ram 1500 is now available with an all-new air suspension system for optimum ride and aerodynamic performance. Another benefit to the new air suspension system is the load-leveling capability, which automatically detects load on the suspension from a trailer or payload. The air pressure increases until the vehicle reaches normal ride height, leveling the truck and improving the loaded ride. The new air suspension system features five height settings that operate automatically or may be controlled manually via console or key fob controls. Active Grille Shutters

The new Ram 1500 is the first truck to employ an active grille shutter system, which automatically closes the airflow through the huge grille when cooling is least needed. The system improves fuel economy by 0.5 per cent by reducing drag roughly three to five per cent, and improves warm-up time/defrost time.

Interior

New features and technologies create an opportunity for a redesigned interior with material upgrades, improved fit and finish, allnew interior themes with different colours and materials, all-new HVAC controls and new multi-media systems. Rear seat occupants can enjoy the same quality, fit and finish as the Mike Cuthbert driver. With points of con- Camrose Chrysler tact a priority, new premium materials, colours and designs are now on all four doors. Soft-touch materials enhance armrests and upper bolsters with expanded use of premium surfaces. The 2013 Ram 1500 features the next generation Uconnect system with background screens tailor-made to specific Ram models and themes. To make room for the new big screen, the centre stack is upgraded with matching materials found throughout the interior. The HVAC system includes a redundant architecture, allowing the operator to use either the touchscreen or manual controls to alter the truck's environment. Below the upgraded HVAC arrangement is a new switch bank with relocated, easy-to-use controls for a number of features depending on vehicle models and options. The centre console for both the bucket and 40-20-40 bench seat configurations is all-new with efficient storage in mind. The new bucket seat console utilizes the extra space as additional storage. The bench seat design includes three new cup holders built into the console lid that features a washable rubber bellow lining, allowing storage for most cup sizes, as well as other personal items.

You can see the 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 at Camrose Chrysler, on Highway 13 East. Phone 780-672-2476 or toll free 1-800-563-4202 and ask for a member of the friendly sales team.

Although Camrose County passed the operating interim budget and the capital interim budget, they still have three choices balancing the books for 2013. The final 2013 budget will be presented to council in May. If the county presents a zero per cent increase (keeping the mill rates the same as 2012) in the municipal tax levy for next year, it would have a $311,081 shortfall. A second option would be to increase the mill rate(s) by ® two per cent. This proposed increase would knock the deficit to $11,203. That amount would Ω be easier to balance by the spring when the budget is firmly set. The third option would see a two per cent increase in the mill rate for residential and nonresidential), but up the farm land ® rates by 3.2 per cent. This would allow the county to walk away with $282 to the black. "It is administration's goal to present no increase in the tax levy and yet still maintain a high level of municipal service for our ratepayers based on council's priorities and action plan," said county administrator Steve Gerlitz. Council passed that the 2013 operating interim budget GET $1,000 BONUS CASH be adopted with a total operating revenue of $12,586,815 ON MOST MODELS♦ and total operating expenses of $23,311,939 and a total tax levy (operating) of $10,725,124.

The gift of well-being is always welcome We really love to receive, but we enjoy giving even more. We like to offer love, tenderness, warmth, and beautiful gifts. Giving our loved one something that is truly special fills us with joy and satisfaction, and when we can also share that gift, it is paradise! Offering paradise for Christmas is possible. What best describes the word “paradise”? Softness, warmth, well-being, tranquility, rest… Health centres, spas, and such, are veritable

little paradises on Earth where the craziness of everyday life cannot penetrate! They are found everywhere, in every region, usually located in inns, hotels, and holiday resorts. You and your loved one will find everything that your hearts desire. Another very special gift for your loved one is a make-over day, which can be offered to a man or a woman. To a rhythm that is a little more frenzied that the previous suggestion, this day obviously includes a visit to the

hairdresser or barber, a shopping session (sometimes with, sometimes without a budget), and ends with a visit to the esthetician – even for the man! Some shopping centres and certain clothing boutiques offer the services of a fashion advisor. For those who prefer to cocoon, you can always bring the spa home: massage slippers, exfoliating cream for satiny-soft skin, invigorating body gel, firming face mask, massage gel… A beautiful Christmas night awaits!

Continued from page 34

To start, we are under the understanding that when someone is elected they represent us. This is false, as these people when elected are forced to follow the guidelines of the party; they don't represent us. This has been demonstrated in all levels of government in the last 10 to 20 years. Their sins have been revealed, but they have a way to cover them up, and there is nothing we are allowed to do, or is there? The BNA Act 1867 and 1982 is a document that is supposed to protect us from the government, but the Charter of Rights and Freedoms [1982] has been manipulated to protect them from us. Notice the opening statement from the charter, This country of Canada is based on the concept of the supremacy of God, and the rule of law. By using the word concept, they make us think that the rule of law is God's law, which of course is not, it is man's law, or better known as policy. This policy is then forced upon the people. In the charter under basic rights, we have freedom of religion and conscience which means if our conscience doesn't agree we do not follow or take part which is also written in the good book. In my studies I realize that democracy isn't for the benefit of the people, it's for the benefit of the government. Lloyd Albers, Ferintosh Response to letter of Mary E. Ringwall Warke in The Camrose Booster, Jan. 24, 2012. I did not respond to Mary E. Ringwall Warke's letter, maybe for the same reason why nobody from the associated ministry of the Gospel responded. I do not think it had anything to do with counting the cost and being counted, but a complete different theological understanding. Christ is God, the Creator, Saviour, Comforter, whether He is mentioned in Christmas greetings or not. Whether man acknowledges Him or not, He is the beginning and He is the end. It is a historical fact! For those who have had a revelation through His Spirit of His eternal, unconditional, everlasting love for them, in the rebirth (John 3: 3-7), "Do not marvel that I said to you must be born again" it is Christmas every day, because Christ lives within them, through His spirit.

Their bodies are a temple of His Spirit (1 Corinthians, 6:19). It is not a once a year event as Mary E. Ringwall Warke puts it, and I quote: "Well now Christmas is over and done with for another year." For those who know Christ personally, In Him they live and move and have their being. Which other nations are trampling Canada under foot? Mrs. Ringwall Warke writes and I quote, "Yes Canada is known to be a multicultural domain, but is that any reason for us to let other nations trample us underfoot?" The nation of Canada consists out of 122 or more different nationalities which form the Nation of Canada. God does not deal with Canada as a nation, as is the case with Israel. He deals with individuals within the nation, whom He has called and chosen before the foundation of the world. Although those He had called and chosen does not stay faithful, His faithfulness towards them will never change, as it has never changed towards Israel. Mary E. Ringwall Warke writes and I quote, "If we tell God to get lost enough times He may do just that. Then what kind of mess we be in?" I want to believe, with many others, I stood up and be counted, on the grounds of God's word, which reveals through His Spirit the living word, the Lord Jesus Christ, who never changes. Linda Hugo, Camrose Regarding the proposed Cargill plant After missing the open house on the matter I just have some concerns on extra truck traffic and rail traffic through our city. As I understand it by vice presidents of Cargill about 800 super bs arriving every day. Whereas Cargill's CEO mentions 80 to 100 super bs a day, for future expansion possible of an extra 120 to 140 trucks a day. Camrose will pick up some of this traffic, whichever number is correct. Extra rail traffic again Camrose will see some of that extra traffic. Great. At the plant yard, side rails put in for up to 340 rail cars! How long before they expand their plans to 10 movements per week. Darrell G. Broen, Camrose

Primary Care Network welcomes new doctor By Murray Green

The Camrose Primary Care Network introduced psychiatrist Dr. Balbev Singh to the community on Dec. 11. Dr. Singh received his medical eduction in northern India and worked in England before deciding that Camrose was the best place for him to raise his family. "I had quite a few options. I came to Camrose in March and spent two days here. The Camrose Physician Attraction and Recruitment committee organized everything for me and took me to different places in the city," said Dr. Singh. "It's a small city compared to where I was, but it has all of the facilities of a bigger place, in a small city. Even though it's going to be a single physician practice, it is an opportunity to change things the way I want them to be. Things are set up for me, so I can come in and be comfortable. Slowly, I can start to

Dr. Balbev Singh

make changes. Camrose offers a good quality of life without having to put up with a big city and all of the problems that brings with it," added Dr. Singh. "I found the people here, the key stakeholders, to be very supportive. The whole process

attracted me more to Camrose, as compared to Edmonton or Red Deer. I was able to see that I can establish a good network here and I'll be supported. That is important when you are coming from a different country altogether," explained Dr. Singh. "The support is essential. In the end, it was people like Stacey (Strilchuk, PCN executive director) that helped me decide that this is the right place to come. They have a very good system of bringing people in, showing them around and showing the strengths of the place and how they can be happy. You want to feel that you are part of the community and that is essential," added the doctor. Dr. Singh grew up in northern India, about 220 kilometres northeast of the Taj Mahal. He attended King George's Medical University, completed his initial training in India and then moved to England 12 years ago to complete his training in

Cambridge. He was a consultant in Newcastle, looking after brain injury, epilepsy and senior patients. "I have a fairly broad skill base and coming to a smaller city, it is good to have that experience. It allows me to fit in quite easily. I believe my 12 years of experience will be helpful," said Dr. Singh. During his stay in March and since he arrived it has been cold, which begs the question of why he chose to move here. "Everything is always frozen and cold," the doctor joked. "It was a very complex decision to come to Canada. I came to Canada because I have a lot of relatives here on my dad's side. My sister lives in Edmonton and my cousins live in Calgary (he also has relatives in Montreal, Ontario, B.C. and Saskatchewan). More than 60 per cent of my family is spread across Canada. You want to have family support as well, so

that was a factor and one of the reasons. "Professionally, I think Canada is the land of opportunities. I have two young adults, a son 16 and daughter 15, and they have aspirations for a bright future. Canada is a place where you can have a good quality of life if you work hard and put in the hours. Here, they can expose what life has to offer them. You only live once, so I wanted to go to a place where we are supported. I visited Augustana and was impressed with the campus, so everything was a factor." The doctor arrived in Camrose three weeks ago and set up his practice in the Gemini Health Medical Clinic. He also sees patients at Covenant Health St. Mary's Hospital. "I see Camrose as a place that will grow. I also see it as a place where I can enjoy a good quality of life outside of work," said Dr. Singh.

Camrose City council approves new fee structure for inspections By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council passed a new fee schedule with a few slight increases in charges for building safety code inspections at its regular meeting Dec. 10. The increases will help the City keep up with the cost of operational expenses. "In most cases the fee increase is five per cent or less,"

said City acting general manager, engineering services, Jeremy Enarson. "A few of the increases are more than five per cent but the total increase is still relatively minor in the end." The City of Camrose has found that many of its fees for safety code inspections are comparable and competitive with those published by surround-

ing agencies and do not require adjustment. Enarson told council revenues from safety codes inspections are very dependent on the construction industry and that big projects, like the Cargill development, tend to push the numbers higher. "A few years ago when we were really going through the boom you would say the safety

codes work unit was making money for the City. This year there is still a subsidy of the safety codes work unit." Building inspection fees for a single family home range from $625 for a square footage of 651 to 1,000, to $950 for square footage of more than 2,001. The cost of heating, gas and plumbing permits is $60. The City of Camrose provides safety codes inspection ser-

vices for all development within the city of Camrose, as well as within Camrose county, with the exception of Bashaw. The inspection fees and travel charges are reviewed on an annual basis. Copies of the new fees will be sent by letter by the City to the local construction community. The fees are also posted on the City of Camrose website, www.camrose.ca

The CAMROSE BOOSTER December 18, 2012

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.

People loved enjoying a meal with friends and dancing together past midnight. The complimentary party favours and midnight champagne helped make the countdown memorable for everyone. This year promises to be another great evening. We have a silent auction and 50/50 draw for added fun and support of this amazing theatre,” says Tracey Clark, theatre manager. Since April 2011, when the Bailey Theatre opened its doors to reveal the splendor of its revitalization, the theatre has been host to 225 events including live children’s theatre from About Time Productions and many music concerts including highlights like Steve Earle and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. The Bailey has also been the site of several Rose City Roots Music Society offerings, part of the backbone of the growing Camrose arts and culture scene. “The Bailey is ripe with the kind of atmosphere one can only get in an old venue, where musicians, actors and showboats of all shapes and sizes have been treading the boards for over a hundred years, “ commented Stephen Fearing, Canadian singer, song writer and multiple Juno Award Winner after his performance at the Bailey with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings in February 2012. Tracey Clark also says the theatre has been the site of several wedding celebrations and many private functions this year, because of the unique qualities it offers as a historic venue. “Christmas party rentals are popular this year. The City of Camrose just had its staff Christmas party at the Bailey,” noted Tracey. The Nordlys Film and Arts Festival moved to The Bailey Theatre in February and will be back again February 15 to 17, 2013, with a weekend of award-winning films. “You walk into the Bailey Theatre and you see the history is right here. Everybody gets excited when they walk into The Bailey,” says Steve Hansen, member of the Nordlys board. The passion of the people of Camrose for the Bailey really shows in numbers. Since its grand re-opening in May 2011, marking its 100th anniversary, the Bailey has served close to 33,000 patrons. Tickets for the Bailey New Year’s Extravaganza are available at the theatre box office or by visiting our website at www.baileytheatre.com. “This will be a very special New Year’s Eve at the Bailey,” says Simon Williams, Bailey Theatre program director.

Season’s Greetings Pro Sports Photography A Camrose Kodiaks' forward provides a good screen after a shot from the point in a match against the Drayton Valley Thunder. The Kodiaks earned two points in the game with a 2-1 victory.

Kodiaks win battle, stay in close race By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks take pride in winning the little battles. During the last month, that has translated to having the opportunity to win every game they play. That's what coaches ask for. The Kodiaks tamed the Calgary Mustangs 2-1 in a playoffstyle road game on Dec. 11. Luc Vandale opened the scoring early, and bears held the Mustangs at bay until the second period when a penalty cost them. Calgary brought out the work horses for the power play and the move paid off to square the game at 1-1. Brett Njaa, who helped set up Luc's goal, had the favour returned in the third when he garnered the winner at the 5:35 mark. However, the story within the story was the fact that Kodiaks' goalie Devin McDonald was involved in a good old western shootout. He stopped 39 of 40 shots to earn the star of the game. Camrose directed 25 shots at the Mustangs' net. The Kodiaks had the same result at home when they beat the Drayton Valley Thunder 2-1 on Dec. 9. However, the road to success took a few different turns. The Thunder used intimidation to knock Camrose off their game plan. Drayton Valley used its fists to cause the thunder, but the idea backfired when defenceman Dallas Bergstrom netted the winner on a power play in the third frame. After a scoreless first period, Drayton Valley scored just 56 seconds into the second. To the Kodiaks' credit, Camrose responded with a tally four minutes later when Tanner MacMaster brought the home team back on even terms. This time, Camrose peppered the Thunder goalie with 46 shots.

Goalie Marc Olivier Daigle did everything, except stand on his head to make a save. Camrose netminder Matt Gibney turned aside 23 of 24 shots that he faced. Scoring has been in short supply for the Kodiaks in recent games and it proved to be the downfall in the Spruce Grove Saints 3-0 win on Dec. 8. Camrose outshot the Saints 30-27 in the game, but they couldn't solve the goaltending of Kenny Cameron. Matt stopped 24 of 26 shots in the Camrose net and also played well. Spruce Grove scored in the first and then was held off until the third period. The Saints scored an empty net tally to secure the victory. The Calgary Canucks edged the Kodiaks 3-2 in another close contest, Dec. 5. Former Camrose forward Kieran O'Neil scored first for the Canucks. In the second, Jonathan Lashyn evened things on a power play. Two goals from the Canucks in less than a minute and a half sent the bears back on their heels. Nolan Marshall replied for the Kodiaks later in the period to get the team back into the game. However, a scoreless third frame wasn't enough. Camrose outshot the Canucks in every period, 39-27 in total. Devin stopped 12 of 15 before giving way to Matt, who turned away all 12 shots. The Kodiaks head south to tangle with the Olds Grizzlys tonight, Dec. 18, before returning for games on Dec. 21 and 22 against the Fort McMurray Oil Barons and the Grizzlys. Both games start at 7:30 p.m. The bears go into hibernation until Jan. 4 when the Lloydminster Bobcats start the New Year in Camrose.

You can give the important gift of home safety this Christmas Holiday shoppers still struggling to find the perfect gift should consider a home safety device such as a smoke alarm or a carbon monoxide detector. Neither product may qualify as a “just what I always wanted” gift, but they should definitely rank at the top of the homeowners “just what I needed” list! For a relatively few dollars, you can help ensure that your friends and family enjoy

a safe holiday season and New Year. Home safety is an important issue year-round, but especially so during the holiday season. Decorations and winter weather conditions pose added threats to your home’s safety. The incidence of home fires and carbon monoxide poisoning accidents are highest during the winter months. Tragically, dozens of Canadians are killed every

year during December and January from these two preventable causes. But tragedy can be avoided with a few simple precautions. Be sure your home is equipped with working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Most fatal fires occur in homes where the batteries have expired or have been removed from smoke detectors, so make sure your smoke detector has working batteries. Have

your fuel-burning appliances like fireplaces, furnaces, wood stoves, ovens, space heaters and clothes dryers checked for potential carbon monoxide leaks. Make sure your home’s ventilation system is not plugged by snow causing carbon monoxide to be trapped in your home — that includes furnace chimneys or exhaust vents on the side of your house. Each of us has a responsibility to safeguard our family from

harm, especially during the holiday season. Take a few minutes to consider your home and potential threats. And, if you are looking for a last minute gift, consider a new home safety device. Help ensure that your family is safe and happy this holiday season. For more information on home fire and carbon monoxide safety precautions, contact the Camrose fire department.

A Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was presented to Agnes Minnes Nov. 12. Minnes has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Camrose branch for the last 36 years and a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Camrose branch Ladies' Auxiliary for the last three. She has served in every executive position except president. Minnes has kept extremely busy over the years with her work on the Legion's entertainment committee. She and her husband, Gordon, do all the decorating for the Legion's special functions at different times of the year. "It makes him happy when I am up on the scaffold hanging the decorations and he is below," said Minnes. "He says it is the only time he can push me around." Minnes is currently chair of the Legion committee that conducts bingos in Camrose and Wetaskiwin, and helps run the meat draws that are held every week to raise money for the branch. Minnes works in the Camrose Legion office every Saturday. "We can't expect our manager to work six days a week," she said. Minnes also assists with funeral lunches, and is a faithful visitor of Legion members who are in their homes, lodges or the hospital. Along with her service at the Legion, Minnes is treasurer for the Rose City Handivan Society. Minnes worked for the Battle River Credit Union for 36 years, most of which were as loan officer. She retired from the Credit Union in 2007.

SALES EVENT

The Battle River Community Foundation presented a grant of $1,946 to the Bethany Group in partnership with the Hospice Society of Camrose and District. By Reesor, director of the Battle River Community Foundation, presented the funds to Lou Henderson of the Bethany Group, along with Anna Harder, treasurer, and Treva Olson, president of the Hospice Society of Camrose and District. This grant was made possible by the Bowthorpe Family Memorial Fund and the Stolee Family Fund.

BRCF assists Hospice Society with grant By Murray Green

The Battle River Community Foundation supported the Bethany Group, in partnership with the Hospice Society of Camrose and District, by donating $1,946 through the Bowthorpe Family Memorial Fund and the Stolee Family Fund. The grant assisted the Hospice Society of Camrose in funding a professional needs assessment, which determined the need for palliative care in the community in terms of services, support and facilities including the need for a stand-alone hospice. Hospice palliative care is a service that provides end of life care and support for individuals and families in a peaceful, homelike setting. It complements other forms of palliative care such as hospitalization or home care. "Our trajectory is still on building a free-standing hospice," said Treva Olson, president of the Hospice Society of Camrose. "That is something we won't stop going toward, but in the interim, what we have decided is quite important and needed in our community are education programs. There is a collective of us putting together a training program and it's called Lessons for Living and Being with Dying." Hospice palliative care is a type of care and a philosophy of care that focuses on the palliation (relief) of a terminally ill patient's

symptoms. These symptoms can be physical, emotional, spiritual or social in nature. The concept of hospice includes palliative care for the incurably ill, which is given in such institutions as hospitals or nursing homes, but also provided to those who prefer to die in their own homes. The term hospice was used over 200 years ago to refer to a rest house for travellers and even earlier to mean guest house and hospitality. Today, it is often used to refer to a facility that provides holistic palliative care for people approaching the end of life’s journey. Palliative care refers to relieving suffering by treating symptoms such as pain and other discomfort. Margaret Bowthorpe entrusted a substantial bequest to the Battle River Community Foundation to benefit palliative care in the area. It is the foundation’s responsibility to ensure that income from this fund goes to support palliative care in the future. The Stolee Family Fund is a donor advised fund with the income going as directed by the family on an annual basis. The Hospice Society has been recognized by the government of Alberta as a society and has been granted charitable status by the Canada Revenue Agency. The society’s mission is to provide, in a home-like and peaceful setting,
