From all of the achievements credited to the Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Project none is more noteworthy or recognizable than the impressive success in

bringing back Purple Martins to our urban and rural area. Each year with valuable assistance from the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association, the City of Camrose, and other partners, several new “condominium-style” Purple Martin houses are built and installed on public land in or near Camrose. These Martin houses are taken care of by dedicated community members (keepers). These individuals and other interested residents or visitors to Camrose are provided with educational opportunities on Purple Martins, other species of birds and wildlife. The project also provides information on habitats and greenspace co-existence between nature and man. An event that has proven to be “sold-out-popular” and has really put Camrose on the map in a positive way in recent years is the Camrose Purple Martin Festival. This year the Festival will be held on Sunday, June 5. For more information see the story on page 15 of this issue of the home team paper.

Lumber Kings beat Kodiaks, Vipers to win first RBC Cup By Murray Green

Jonathan Milley scored the only two goals in the final game to give the Pembroke Lumber Kings the RBC Cup crown with a 2-0 shutout over the Vernon Vipers on May 8 at the Edgeworth Centre. In the Lumber Kings' sixth attempt to win the national championship, they were finally successful. At the same time, the Vipers ended their two-year reign of national titles. Pembroke goalie Francis Dupuis lead the Lumber Kings on defence when he stopped 40 shots. The Lumber Kings outshot Vernon 40-23. Milley scored the game-winner on a breakaway with 6:21 remaining in regulation time. Dupuis kept the Lumber Kings in a scoreless game until Milley could add the offence. The goalie, and player of the game, shone the brightest when he stopped 15 shots in the first and 14 in the third. Vernon goalie Kirby Halcrow stopped 15 shots in the second period. Milley's second goal was into an empty net with about 15 seconds left. Following the championship game, the 2011 RBC Cup tournament all-star team was announced, as selected by the tournament awards committee. Goaltender – Francis Dupuis, Pembroke Lumber Kings; defence – Sam Jardine, Camrose Kodiaks and Adam Thompson, Vernon Vipers; forwards – Jonathan Milley, Pembroke Lumber Kings; Matthew Peca, Pembroke Lumber Kings and Dylan Walchuk, Vernon Vipers. The 2012 RBC Cup will be held in May 2012 in Humboldt, Saskatchewan, with the Humboldt Broncos as the host team. Semifinals The Vipers defeated the Wellington Dukes 4-1 while the Lumber Kings beat the host Camrose Kodiaks 4-2 in the semifinals. Pembroke's Brandon Gagne tipped a Stefan Salituro shot past Kodiaks' netminder Dalyn Flette with 5:47 remaining to send the Lumber Kings to the championship game for the first time. "Give them full credit, they played well. It wasn't our best game of the year," said Camrose coach and general manager Boris Rybalka. "They took advantage of it and skated well and handled the puck well." The snipers on the Kodiaks fell silent in the semi-

final. "I think we did a good job of not being ready," added Rybalka. "They (Pembroke) looked tired and didn't get their feet moving. We should have been on them right away. When we started to get our forechecking going, you could see we played much better. When we started cycling, we were strong. When we stood around, they were strong. It wasn't as much as they shut us down. It was more of a case of we stopped believing in our abilities." Matthew Peca, Maurice Alvarez and Mitchell Gallant also garnered goals, while Salituro added three assists for the Lumber Kings. Pembroke was up 2-0 lead late in the second period before Rylan Wiest scored a pair of goals for Camrose to tie the game. "It was good to get a couple goals, but we also gave up two. Today wasn't our best day. My linemates played well to help me score," said Wiest. "On the first goal, I was coming in high in the slot and the puck bounced over a few guys' sticks and right to me. I shot it as hard as I could. On the second one, the puck went to the point and I know as soon as it does, I head for the front of the net. I managed to get my stick on it and tipped it in." The Kodiaks had a great season, despite the semifinal loss. "Yes we lost, but Pembroke lost some close games in the first round and are a good team. This is the strongest field of five teams that I have ever seen. The players might not realize it right now, but we had a very successful season. We are proud of them." The Pembroke Lumber Kings' players had a reason to celebrate. At the awards banquet in the Camrose Regional Exhibition, five individual awards were announced. The awards were based on the tournament's opening round robin. Most Valuable Player: Dalyn Flette, Camrose Kodiaks; top goaltender, Dalyn Flette, Camrose Kodiaks; top forward, Matthew Peca, Pembroke Lumber Kings; top defenceman, Adam Thompson, Vernon Vipers and most sportsmanlike player, Dylan Walchuk, Vernon Vipers. Hamilton Red Wings' (Ontario Junior Hockey League) forward Zach Hyman was presented with the player of the year award. Geoffrey Gieni of the Soo Thunderbirds (Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League) received the RBC scholarship. The RBC Cup Legacy Scholarships went to Brooks Myers, Camrose Kodiaks; Tyler Tosunian, Pembroke Lumber Kings; Kyle Turgeon, Portage Terriers, Steve Weinstein, Vernon Vipers and Sean Ruby, Wellington Dukes.

Camrose Minor Hockey players made sure the ice was cleaned in the middle of each period and RBC's lion helped with the fun at the Edgeworth Centre.

Jonathan Milley scored on a breakaway to give the Pembroke Lumber Kings a victory over Kirby Halcrow and the Vernon Vipers in the RBC Cup final on May 8.

Brooks Myers of the Camrose Kodiaks not only shut down some of the other teams' snipers, he also caused some trouble in front of the Pembroke net in a semifinal.

Alberta in a good position to capitalize on world changes says Gary Mar By Dan Jensen

Alberta is in a good position to take advantage of the many changes that are happening in the world, says Progressive Conservative leadership candidate Gary Mar. "I look at the rise of the middle class in the world's largest democracy in India and I ask myself what opportunities that gives to Alberta," said Mar, who served three years as Alberta's official representative to the United States, based in Washington, D.C., during a campaign stop at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta May 2. "They need a lot of energy and they need a lot of building materials, and agriculture, forestry and energy are three things that we do very well in this province." Mar noted in order to bring greater diversity to what it makes and where it is sold, Alberta needs to give young people the skills they need to participate in the globalized economy and be competitive, as well as improve its infrastructure so that what is made here can get to the market in the fastest way. He is optimistic that Alberta can be a great economic driver in Canada if it has the right policies in place. Closer to home

Mar feels the Alberta health care system can be organized in a way that produces better outcomes. "The good news is that there are lots of terrific people in the system," he said. "We have great doctors and great nurses, and they are working hard every day

Gary Mar visits with Jack Ross May 2.

to deliver the services that Albertans need and want." Mar said on his website that the move to regulate physical therapists under the Health Professions Act gives the therapists the recognition they deserve. Under the new regulation he said physical therapists with the appropriate training will be authorized to order x-rays and MRIs, thus helping to ensure health care efficiencies. "This change was supported not only by PTs but other health care professionals who understand the importance of every health professional working to his or her full scope and capability," he said. Mar said the requests of the school boards to have predictable levels of funding make perfectly good sense and, as premier or leader of the PCs, he would increase the funding where it would be appropriate. "There are some areas that I think we need to put more effort to in terms of funding and there

are other areas where maybe we can do less. Overall, we have a good system, I have seen the challenges that school systems, hospitals and universities have in the United States, and whatever challenges we have in Alberta seem relatively mild by comparison." Mar said he is very supportive of the efforts of the MLAs and others who have advocated on behalf of the University of Alberta Augustana campus. Working with partners

Mar said he has seen, in his work in Washington, the benefit of working with partners to create change. "Working alongside our neighbouring provinces is one way we can ensure Alberta's priorities are heard not only in the U.S. but places like China, where we operate a joint office." Mar served 14 years as a member of the legislative assembly for Calgary Nose Creek and Calgary McKay, and was a cabinet minister in five different positions.

Six Albertans were selected for membership in the Alberta Order of Excellence. The new members will receive the province’s highest honour in recognition of their long standing service to a wide range of local, provincial and national endeavours. Among the group was former Edberg writer Aritha van Herk, who now teaches at the University of Calgary. She is a public intellectual and motivational cultural speaker, as well as an award-winning Canadian novelist whose work has been acclaimed throughout North America and Europe. van Herk has given readings, lectures, and workshops on culture and community, literature and life, in the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore, Australia, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Austria, the Baltics and Scandinavia. Her popular, creative and critical work has been widely published and her work has been translated into 10 languages. “These great Albertans truly

understand the importance of service above self,” said retired Col. Donald Ethell, Alberta's Lieutenant Governor. “They are leaders and innovators who have directed their considerable gifts toward the goal of strengthening the lives of people both here at home and around the world.” The new members selected are Patricia Blocksom, Martin Cohos, Bruce Hogle, Walter Paszkowski, Eric Rajah and Aritha van Herk. “All Albertans can be proud of the work these remarkable citizens have accomplished,” said Premier Ed Stelmach. “They deserve to be honoured for their many contributions to our province, along with our sincere thanks for their service as distinguished ambassadors of the Alberta spirit.” The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta serves as Chancellor of the Order. He will preside over the investiture ceremony in Edmonton on Wednesday, October 19. This will bring the total membership to 115. Aritha was born in Wetaski-

win, but grew up in the Edberg area and often made the journey to Camrose just to read. She claims to have read every book in the Camrose Public Library when she was younger. She then studied at the University of Alberta. She first rose to international literary prominence with the publication of Judith, which received the Seal First Novel Award and which was published in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. Her other books include The Tent Peg ; No Fixed Address : An Amorous Journey; Places Far From Ellesmere; Restlessness; In Visible Ink and A Frozen Tongue . Her most recent expedition into time and words is Mavericks: An Incorrigible History of Alberta , which won the Grant McEwan Author's Award. van Herk is a member of the Royal Society of Canada, and a professor who teaches Canadian Literature and Creative Writing in the Department of English at the University of Calgary. She is also known for raising the profile of Alberta through her work.

Sorenson wins fifth election with 83.9 per cent of vote By Murray Green

MP Kevin Sorenson didn't have a long wait to be declared the winner of the Crowfoot riding in the federal election on May 2. In the past 10 years and five elections, the Crowfoot riding has belonged to Conservative MP Sorenson. This year he received even a higher percentage of votes than he had in the previous election. Once again the Conservative party dominated the region by an overwhelming margin. Sorenson, 52, has been the federal representative for Crowfoot since 2000. In the previous election, he won by more than 35,000 votes with 82 per cent of ballots cast, one of the widest margins of all 308 seats. This time around, he topped that with 83.9 per cent of the votes and collected 44,114 valid votes on ballots. In a trend across the country, the NDP received the second

Kevin Sorenson

most votes. Ellen Parker came in second with 4,805 votes and 9.1 per cent. A total of 52,557 of the 88,152 registered voters cast a ballet for 59.6 per cent. “I'm really excited and very pleased for the vote of confidence that Prime Minister Harper

Parker happy with election results

received. I am truly grateful for this vote of confidence and promise to continue to do my utmost as the Crowfoot Member of Parliament in the House of Commons,” Sorenson said. “I look forward to representing the people of Crowfoot in the 41st Parliament under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The challenges in minority parliaments are huge and we have looked forward to governing from a majority position. I am privileged to have this opportunity in my career after having served in the Official Opposition in my early years as your MP and in the previous three restrictive minority parliament situations. Our Conservative government intends to continue to build on our efforts to protect and create jobs; help hard-working Canadians and their families; grow Canada’s economy; reduce the federal budgetary deficit and eliminate it; and strengthen

Canada’s criminal justice system by placing the rights of victims first. Our efforts are aimed at delivering more for seniors, more for families with children, and more for our communities. While the economy remains our priority, I want issues, including the scrapping of the failed and costly long gun registry and changes to the Canadian Wheat Board, brought forward soon,” Sorenson said. He took the news of receiving the highest percentage of votes in stride. “It is an honour to represent constituents with such a strong political voice. All across our vast geographical constituency – from the larger towns to our most remote corners – we share the same fiscally and socially responsible views. We have a firm understanding of the kind of local communities and neighbourhoods we want to build to raise our families. We recognize our shared values across our province and we want to contrib-

ute a measure of our success and Alberta know-how in Canada’s federal legislature. That is my job and I pledge to continue to serve with hard work, dignity and integrity.” He was shocked at Quebec's change to NDP. "It showed that Quebec wants to be a part of Canada and it was a blow to separatists. I'm excited to be working with different MP's, even if we don't share the same philosophy." Sorenson is a former farmer and businessman. He represents one of the country's largest geographical ridings, which stretches over 43,759 square kilometres. Its main municipality is Camrose, with a population of 17,000, but also includes the towns of Stettler, Chestermere, Drumheller and Strathmore. Agriculture is the riding's main industry, but Sorenson said his constituents' main concern in this election was also the economy.

Walk salutes Johns

By Dan Jensen

You would never have been able to tell the day after the federal election that Crowfoot NDP candidate Ellen Parker had just lost to Conservative Kevin Sorenson by close to 40,000 votes. "I am not disappointed," said Parker. "I realize there are a lot of people who are still in the fog as to what is helping and what is hurting this country, and that there is a real choice they can make." The loss was made tolerable to Parker by the fact that the NDP increased its seat count from 37 in 2008 to a whopping 102. As a result, the NDP will enter the next session of parliament as the official opposition for the first time in its history. "I am tremendously excited that we almost tripled our seats," said Parker. "We have an incredible team, and of the NDP candidates who were elected, 41 I think are women, which is unprecedented in parliament history. We once again have the youngest member of parliament at age 19, we have people who have finished their degrees and are going for their master's, and we have people who have studied Ellen Parker political science. "I can't wait for parliament to start again just to see the energy that surges through the House of Commons." Parker sees this election as one more stepping stone to the NDP forming the next government four years from now. "Canadians see now the clear choice that is offered," she said. Of the New Democrats' 102 seats, 58 came in the province of Quebec. "It is an amazing transformation," said Parker. "It is so significant for national unity in itself that Quebecers can see their social democratic values reflected in a federal New Democratic party and they can fully participate in redefining Canada as a country that cares about people and is concerned about the environment. "Quebec no longer needs to feel alienated." While the results from Quebec were stronger than she anticipated, Parker wasn't really too surprised that the NDP was able to do so well in a province that has always been willing to embrace new political ideas. "It was just a matter of letting them know who we are and what we stood for," she said. "We have laid a lot of groundwork in Quebec over the last number of years and have always listened carefully to what the people of Quebec have had to say. When Quebecers saw what we were doing they embraced us wholeheartedly." Parker was heartened by NDP leader Jack Layton, who in his speech Monday night said the NDP candidates who were not elected were just as crucial to the Party's success in the federal vote as those who were. "It is not simply the vote that is important because there is a lot of work that happens before and after every election, and every member of the Party knows that," she said. "We earn each vote as a member of a team, building strong relationships along the way. Once people open themselves up to the new ideas of the New Democrats they begin to embrace them further and deeper." Parker said she had good conversations in the days before the election with long-time Conservative supporters who told her they were changing their votes to New Democrats because of the Party's position on several issues, not the least of which were pension and tax reform and the environment.

The June Johns Memorial Mayor's Walk and Run attracted about 100 participants who made their way around Mirror Lake on April 30. The event raised more than $9,000 for the Camrose Boys and Girls Club. PACE Outreach School won the friendly community competition by raising $1,930. By Murray Green

The annual Mayor's Walk and Run for the Camrose Boys and Girls Club has a new name. Starting with the May 1 walk around Mirror Lake, the event is now known as the June Johns Memorial Mayor's Walk and Run. "One of June's favourite events at the club was the Mayor's Walk and Run," said executive director Rees James. "From its inception, June was there to help plan, gather prizes and work the event. In her honour, the event has been renamed. June's memory will go on in the hearts of those she has touched." June was the treasurer of the club since 2003 and was an avid volunteer for Special Olympics, Crime Stoppers, Big Valley Jamboree handicap transportation and the Rose City Bingo Association. "June was the type of

person who would sit on her front step and talk to the neighbourhood kids as they played. She was quick with a story and had a great laugh," continued Rees. "June loved the people in her life and always spoke fondly of them." She was known as a person who cared about people and was passionate about the causes she represented. "June seemed to be able to talk to anyone effortlessly and this was demonstrated by the sheer volume of people she knew. She was a person you could count on to be where she said she would be and do what she said she would do." June had a reputation as a good cook and shared those skills with many organizations. "From cooking at a correctional facility, to summer camps, staff parties, concessions, or charity barbecues, you were sure to be satisfied."

About 100 walkers and runners raised more than $9,000 for the Camrose Boys and Girls Club. "The amount is almost double from last year," said Rees. "I'm very happy with the turnout and the money raised." Five groups entered the Community Youth Builder Challenge. The Camrose Association For Community Living, Centra Cam Vocational Training Association, Camrose Public Health with Alberta Health Services, PACE Outreach School and the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus athletic department took part in the friendly competition to help raise pledges. PACE came away as the winners with $1,930 raised. Individually, Shayne Marshall was the top fundraiser with $1,500. His efforts earned him an iPod Touch.

Creating Caring Communities for Seniors Sunrise Smiles

Have you ever sent flowers to someone “just because?” Do you know a senior who is a wonderful person or does great things? Do you want to be part of making someone feel special?

Here is how you can do all of the above and it costs you nothing! Sunrise Village is holding our Annual Sunrise Smiles Program. During Senior’s Week, June 6th to 12th, we will be out in the community delivering flowers and heartfelt messages to our special seniors.

How can you help? Call or drop by Sunrise Village on or before May 25th to make a dedication to any senior in Camrose you would like to recognize for whatever reason. We will coordinate the dedication card, flower order and flower delivery. The best part is we will PAY all the costs! Yes, that is correct! You make the dedication to a senior and we will do ALL the work. Please make sure you can provide a delivery address and phone number for the recipient when you call.

*Names and addresses received will in no way be used for solicitation purposes.

Help put a smile on a senior's face By Dan Jensen

It's never a bad idea to show a little appreciation. Sunrise Village will be delivering smiles and complimentary bouquets, as well as random notes of dedication and thanks to local seniors during Seniors' Week (June 6 to 12) as part of its Sunrise Smiles program. "We're asking members of the community to make a dedication to a senior they feel is unforgettable for whatever reason they wish," said Sunrise Village representative Stacey Dick. "Our goal is really just to make the day of a senior, just to see them smile, no strings attached."

The Sunrise Smiles program was launched as a trial at Sunrise Village in Ponoka in 2008 out of a desire to make the day of a senior by letting them know that someone was thinking about them and cares. The response from the community was so positive that Sunrise Village decided to expand it to all communities in which it has facilities. "The idea came about after our vice president of operations returned from a visit to her home town," said Ms. Dick. "While out for a walk she made a surprise visit to a senior-aged former neighbour, who explained that he was not getting out as

much as he would like and was missing his kids who had moved away. After that our staff began talking about how many seniors they knew and how nice it would be to acknowledge them, show appreciation and dedicate something to them: the older lady that walks downtown every day, rain or snow; the retired teacher who taught you math and now spends hours a day to make his lawn look immaculate; the senior volunteer who led the school crossing guard program, looking out every day for the safety of our young children." The program has been successful because it gives the community the opportunity to

come together as a whole to show appreciation to seniors at no cost either to the person making the dedication or the senior who receives it. "Sunrise Village does not keep any of the information about the caller or the seniors for sales lists, soliciting or for any other purposes," said Ms. Dick. "We just want to be part of a positive community movement and show appreciation to seniors." Sunrise Village will accept dedications for the Smiles Program until May 25. "We don't know how many bouquets will be delivered but will order as many we need to

fill all the dedications," said Ms. Dick. Sunrise Village believes communities become stronger with each contribution made by an individual or an organization. "Life can throw us some pretty strong curve balls, but knowing there are others around us, providing support and encouragement, and even just thinking about us makes the bad days better and the good days great," said Ms. Dick. More information about the Sunrise Smiles program may be found in the Sunrise Village ad elsewhere on this page, or by calling 780-672-2746.

City gives go-ahead to citizen satisfaction survey By Dan Jensen

City council has authorized the expenditure of $9,900 for an Ipsos Reid Citizen Satisfaction Survey. The survey, which will be conducted by telephone from May 11 to 25, will explore issues of interest to citizens, perceptions towards quality of life in Camrose, satisfaction with municipal services, perceived value for municipal taxes and preferred funding options, and communication and information needs, including website information. The results will be made known in late June. A power point report will detail for

council the survey's findings, as well as provide detailed tables showing how the results break down by key demographic variables. Nominative comparisons will show how the results compare to other municipalities. Not every member of council was convinced, during April 25 discussions, of the need to do the survey. Councillor Greg Wood questioned whether the survey would be an efficient use of funds, and whether the purpose would be simply get a warm and fuzzy feeling. "The timing is not great," said Wood.

"We all ran on fiscal responsibility and we need to show restraint, knowing the challenges that are ahead of us." Councillor Daryl Shillington said he could build a case both for and against the survey. He said that while the survey would engage the citizens, it would be more appropriate to conduct it half way through the term, after the strategic priorities have been set. "The timing is a concern. The answers we get now may be different than what they are a year from now." Shillington added the

Camrose Police Service has just completed a survey. Councillor Max Lindstrand said doing the survey now would give council the information it needs to start addressing the concerns of residents. Councillor Brandon Blatz said it is always good to listen to what the public has to say. "We may get warm and fuzzy comments or we may get criticized. "There may be suggestions about services that we are not providing now that we may have to take a look at." City manager Brian Hamblin told council that while a citizen survey was conducted

in Camrose approximately 15 years ago, it has not been the City's practice to conduct surveys. He added that approval of Citizen Satisfaction Survey would create an expectation of surveys in future years to compare results and use the 2011 survey as a foundation. An engaged and informed community is one of the five strategic priorities in the City of Camrose's recently developed Going Forward: the Roadmap to 2015. The survey will provide overall results that are accurate to plus or minus 5.7 per cent 19 times out of 20.

Literacy award for Cook By Dan Jensen

Sherilyn Cook has been chosen as the recipient of this year's Camrose Adult Learning Council Literacy Award. The presentation will be made during a May 28 literacy celebration at the Kamifurano Park Gazebo on the north east side of Mirror Lake. The celebration will start at 1:30 and go until 3:30. Camrose Adult Learning Council presents its Literacy Award to individuals who have made significant contributions or provided exceptional service to literacy in Camrose and or surrounding area. Cook was well-known in Camrose for her leadership, innovation, enthusiasm and dedication to family literacy. During her seven-year term as coordinator of the Camrose Family Literacy Program, she was a driving force behind literacy programming for parents and their children ages zero to six years. Previous recipients of the annual literacy award have been Deborah Morgan, Finola Hackett, Berdie Fowler, Janice De Paoli and David Samm. Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council executive director Diane McLaren said the May 28 celebration and presentation will be a family event, with free cake, ice cream, lemonade, clowns and balloons. "We're asking that people come out and celebrate and offer their personal congratulations to Sherilyn," said McLaren. The event will be moved to the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre at 4809-52 Street in the event of inclement weather. More information may be obtained from McLaren at 780-6728754.

Helping the people of Japan

Old fashioned fun The Easter Bunny wasn't the only one putting smiles on kids' faces this Easter. Four members of the Camrose Kodiaks made Easter Sunday extra special for four Camrose kids. Taking time out of their busy schedule in preparation for the RBC Cup, the Camrose Kodiaks came to play a little road hockey with some of their biggest fans. In return, as a thank you, the kids shared their Easter goodies with the players. It was truly an Easter the kids won't soon forget.

TD Bank district vice-president Derrick Cressnell-Clough and Camrose staff members Colin Atkinson, Keiora Leibel, Robin Cing-Mars, Larae Pierson and Ashley Ozment raised $2,000 to pass on to the Canadian Red Cross to help with Japan earthquake and tsunami victims. The bank staff held a bake sale on April 21 and the $1,000 of proceeds went into the fund. Cressnell-Clough matched the amount the bank raised to make it $2,000.

"Albertans care deeply for the land and our water and air and realize they are the guardians here for the rest of Canada. If we can't protect it who is going to. We as Albertans are going to be the ones who face the health concerns and the harm first hand if something is not done." Parker believes Layton will stand firm in the new parliament on the New Democrats' values, but will embrace new ideas that are put forward for the good of the country. At the same time, she feels it is important that Prime Minister Harper be willing to accept the New Democrats' proposals and ideas. "We'll see what happens when they introduce the budget again whether the true negotiations will happen."

minor hockey Before the Camrose Kodiaks and Vernon Vipers hit the ice at the 2011 RBC Cup to open the 41st National Junior A Championship, there already was a winner. A $10,000 RBC Play Hockey grant was awarded to the Camrose Minor Hockey Association. "We know that without skates to tie, volunteers to teach and coaches to inspire the game of hockey simply could not happen," said Dwain Krissa, RBC regional vice-president for Alberta North. "Having the RBC Cup in Camrose has shown us how important hockey is to this community and we want to help them get better and go further in this great game." Carla Macleod, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, helped to celebrate the announcement by challenging players from the Camrose Minor Hockey Association to a shoot-out challenge at the RBC Play Hockey Experience, located in front of the Edgeworth Centre, site of the 2011 RBC Cup. The Camrose Minor Hockey Association will use the donation to create a coaches' kit, purchase equipment and host skill development camps for both players and coaches. "This grant will help us to provide our players and future players with the best minor hockey experience, whether that is helping them build skills or providing materials they couldn’t otherwise have afforded," said Brent Gotaas, who applied for the grant on behalf of the Camrose Minor Hockey Association.

Martin festival in Camrose June 5 By Murray Green

Camrose will be hosting a Purple Martin Festival at the Stoney Creek Centre on June 5. A full day of bus tours, walking tours, keynote speakers and booths all about the birds has been planned for the event. The festival is organized by the Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society and is scheduled to be held from 8:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Guide Michael Barr will offer short in-town bus tours to view Purple Martins and their "landlords." The landlords will offer practical tips to attract Martins and maintain their nest boxes. The first tour will depart at 8:45 a.m. and a second one at 11 a.m. Participants can also take short walking tours to nearby Purple Martin nesting structures and possibly see their eggs or newly hatched young. Dr. Glen Hvenegaard will lead a tour at 9 a.m. to talk about Purple Martins and other birds. Dr. Michael Mucz will conduct a tour at 10 a.m. on medicinal plants and Dan Olofson offers a third tour beginning at 11 a.m. on Cyber Martins.

A slate of speakers will highlight several bird and nature related topics. Chuck Priestley will talk on important bird areas and Purple Martins at 9:15 a.m. At 10:15 a.m. Dr. Geoff Holroyd will talk about Purple Martin migrations, entitled Martins don't eat mosquitoes, but they do winter in Brazil. Dr. Holroyd is a research scientist with Environment Canada who studied the foraging strategies and diet of Purple Martins and other swallows. Dr. Hvenegaard of the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus returns to talk about connecting children with nature at 11:15 a.m. During lunch, bird box kits will be available for purchase as potential Father's Day gifts from children. The kits may be assembled on site. Also during lunch, Glenys Smith will begin her story telling session as she recalls and shares some local insights. At 1 p.m. keynote speaker Chris Fisher will talk on the parallels in bird and human migrations. For the last number of years, he has

been leading worldwide nature adventures to every continent. By invigorating audiences with story lines that connect must-see sites with their rich legacy of history, culture and wilderness, Chris makes what is often inaccessible, familiar to all. Various natural history and environmental organizations will have displays available. The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society promotes environmental education, community-based nature activities, and sustainable use of our important wildlife and greenspace resources. In the summer, with support from the City of Camrose, they host weekly events on natural history, support planning and management, and conduct research. By installing structures around the city, Purple Martin populations have grown from eight pairs in 2003 to 173 pairs in 2009. To register or for more information about the Purple Martin Festival, contact Chris Clarkson at cclarkson@camrose.ca or phone 780-672-9195.

Primary Care Network completes virtual trek The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) in partnership with Augustana Fitness Centre recently completed its first virtual trek campaign. Starting on September 13, 2010, and ending on March 14, 2011, the “Camrose – Walk Around Your Back Yard” virtual trek saw 526 registrants log over two million steps, or approximately 1590 km in 183 days. The theme of the virtual trek “Increase Your Pace – Improve Your Health” encouraged participants to join an on-line walking program taking them through various cities and towns around Alberta. Participation was free and in addition to walking, participants could enter more than 60 other activities (swimming, cycling, etc.) that would be converted into steps. For the Fall 2010 virtual

CCHS to host basketball provincials By Murray Green

The Camrose Composite High School will be hosting the 3A boys' and girls' basketball provincial championship next spring. CCHS was successful in its quest to host the event after teacher Kristy Brown led the Camrose bid and agreed to be the chair for the tournament. "Some of the basketball coaches were talking about how strong the program is right now. We thought hosting would be a good idea. We put in an application and no one else did. This is exciting for our basketball program since we have regularly had strong senior teams in past years." Both the senior boys and girls qualified for provincials this year. "Our junior teams have also seen great success this season, paving the way for some strong competitors in next year’s provincials." Kristy has coached basketball for three years at CCHS and three years at Charlie Killam School, prior to her switching schools. She knows the players better than anyone else. "I've coached the school teams as well as spring community teams since the potenHOURS: tial senior players were in Grade 7.

"The one Corner of 48 Avenue and 51 Street, complaint we heard is that it was Camrose Phone 672-3107 too spread out. We want to keep it to two or three locations and make sure the schools are close, so people are not driving so far. It has been done with three gyms before.

Submitted by Colleen Lindholm, CAFCL

The Camrose Association for Community Living is proud to announce that the Kandu Summer Camp is back for another year. This non-profit camp is for children and youth between the ages of seven and 17. Beginning on July 5th this camp will take your child/youth not only around the community but also “Around the World” with our various weekly themes! We will experience many new activities (last year we drove race cars at the international raceway) and seek out new adventures while exploring talents, passions and dreams! This action-packed summer will be full of great activities including swimming, horseback riding, West Edmonton Mall, lakes, crafts, games, weekly field trips and fun. Not only will this summer camp be a memorable one, but each child will learn new and exciting things about the world around them in a safe environment. It is intended that they acquire skills and talents that can promote healthy daily living and encourage a better quality of life. Our goal is to help your child/youth to become a more confident and independent individual through the support and supervision of fully trained and caring staff. Not only will your child be having new experiences but they also will meet new friends. These friendships and positive social connections made at Kandu camp will increase self-esteem and help build social skills that can be taken beyond camp. Our staff will provide a safe, caring and positive learning environment all while your child is having a blast. The camp runs from Tuesday, July 5, until Friday, August 19, every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $30 a day, $112 a week or $440 for the month of July and $330 for the month of August. Children/youth may be signed up daily. For more information call 780-672-0257 and ask for Stacey Olstad or e-mail solstad@cafcl.org.

Flashing lights not allowed By Dan Jensen

It doesn't look like City council will be making any changes to the bylaw that prohibits school buses from activating their flashing lights and lowering their stop arm while they are stopped on city streets. Council asked administration to look into the bylaw at a meeting last February after Camrose resident Laura-Lee Gillett expressed concerns about motorists driving past buses and having little regard for the safety of students. "There is no safety zone for kids once they get off the bus," said Gillett at the time. "Often the bus does not wait for the kids to cross the street to get to safety." Gillett added that often vehicles are not waiting behind the bus when the bus is stopped. "Kids who are taking driver training are told you have to wait for a bus when the lights are By Murray Green As soon as the badminton zones wrapped up last week, the Cam- flashing but they are never flashrose Composite High School quickly switched modes to track and field. ing in city limits.

"This year the CCHS track team will participate in three meets City of Camrose manager of and possibly provincials in Edmonton on June 3 and 4 at Foote Field." engineering services Elvis Riou The second event is the regional meet at CCHS on May 18, followed by zones in Red Deer on May 25. "Silver medalist, at last year’s told council May 2 that repreprovincials in Medicine Hat, Connor Foreman, will be trying to again sentatives from the Battle River School Division, Hay's Transporadvance to provincials in the intermediate category. CCHS is also tation, Camrose Police Service looking to place well with its relay teams," said coach Markowsky.

Track season underway

and the City of Camrose met to discuss the bylaw and decided there was no justification for making changes. "Under the current bylaw, pedestrians and motorists are accustomed to school buses not flashing their lights and stop arms in Camrose, and a change in practice may cause uncertainty and increased chance of accidents," said Riou. "Also, pedestrians are safer when they are encouraged to cross at designated crossings instead of crossing at midblock. "Furthermore, traffic flow is not impeded under the current practice." Gillett responded by noting that the owner of Lakeside Taxi would prefer to stop behind a school bus, rather than go on past. "This is from someone who is time conscientious and concerned about getting from one side of the city to the other," she said. Mayor Marshall Chalmers suggested there may be some problems if, as Gillett suggested, kids are being taught to stop behind the school buses. "If there is a problem with the educational component of Battle River or Elk Island school division we need look at that aspect, show them the bylaw, and teach kids accordingly," he stated.

The bus stops in the City of Camrose are primarily located in areas with sidewalks and curbs, and the students are required by the school authorities, the Highway Traffic Act and the City traffic bylaw to cross the roadways at the intersections or crosswalks to avoid unsafe jaywalking. In 1986, the then Minister of Transportation, explained in certain low-speed urban situations, it is better to require students on school buses to use existing traffic controls such as stop signs or signals and crosswalks than to depend on school bus warning lights for protection. "Where well-marked intersections and roadways are present, it is actually safer to use those markings and devices than to use flashing school bus lights," he said. Information from the BRSD suggests that allowing buses to stop randomly mid-block and have children cross the street in front of the buses is extremely dangerous and directly increases the potential for pedestrian related accidents. It adds that if flashing red lights and stop arms encourage children to believe they have an added degree of protection, which they cannot, and do not provide, a great disservice results.

There comes a time in the career of any good golfer when the only way to improve his golf score is to enhance his performance on the green. It’s all very well to drive 300 yards and land strokes with an 8 iron to within three or four metres of the cup, but he’ll ruin his score if it takes him three putts to sink the ball. In fact, the game on the green represents approximately a third of our final score, so it would perhaps be a good idea to practice our putting more often. We can go and hit any amount of baskets of balls with a driver, but it would be a good move to spend a large part of a practice session on the putting green. After all, we use a driver a maximum of 14 times during a game, half as many times as a putter. To be successful on the green, all we need to do is develop a good technique and have a positive attitude. Long or short, putting requires a certain basic technique. The legs, the hips and the wrists must not move and the shoulders should be perpendicular to the ground. For a right- handed person, the left eye should focus on the top of the ball. Hit the ball with a pendulum movement and keep the head motionless during and after the putt.

OLMP takes on Augustana in charity basketball game By Dan Jensen

The Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Royals and the Augustana Vikings squared off in a charity basketball game for the Wes and Colleen Kerr family of Round Hill April 14. The game was the brainchild of OLMP Grade 11 student Ryan Sandberg. "One of the friends of the Kerrs came to us at an assembly and asked us if we could do anything to help them while their son (Nolan) was undergoing treatment for cancer," stated Sandberg. "My idea was to have a charity basketball game." The charity game was the first that anyone can ever remember being held at the school. "Usually we have bake sales and things like that," said OLMP teacher and chaplain Becky Gumpinger, who took Strandberg's idea and sold it to Augustana basketball coach Dave Drabiuk. The game was another good illustration of the willingness of groups, individuals and organizations in Camrose and area to step forward when there is a need. "I think it is pretty awesome that a college team can come and play against a small high school team to raise money," said Strandberg. While the Augustana team does not get called too often with requests like it received from OLMP, it is always ready to answer the call if it means supporting a good cause. "The (Augustana) players were very quick to buy into this, even though they were finished with their classes," said Drabiuk. "When we talked about it as a group there were a lot of them who told stories about how cancer has affected their families and friends." Drabiuk said the game speaks nothing but good about the sport. "Here is an opportunity to take our sport and do something else with it. "The guys were feeling loose and looking forward to having some fun." The game was a good finish to a season for the OLMP Royals, which, according to coach Curtis Rempel, had its share of ups and downs. "We did improve from the year before, which is a good thing," he said. Two members of the OLMP Royals, both from Grade 11, played in the Augustana AllStar Classic. "They are kind of on our radar," said Drabiuk. "The game tonight was a chance for me to watch them play against our guys and really evaluate them on that level."

By Murray Green

The Sherwood Park Stingers repeated as the midget single-A girls' champions in Calgary to earn their third provincial title in four years with a 49-37 victory over Calwest this spring. Prior to provincials, the Stingers won the Edmonton area championship by winning 73-62 over the St. Albert Slam. After losing two out of three close games to the Slam during the regular season, the Stingers dominated Southwest 78-46 in the semifinal before meeting the Slam again in the finals. Camrose player Bradi Lorenz played a well-rounded game with nine points, eight assists, seven rebounds and five steals. “Bradi had a very strong season for us, she has improved in every facet of the game,” said coach Stuart Carr. In Calgary, the Stingers opened with a convincing 61-27 win over South Fish Creek, then a 68-39 victory over the Calgary city champions from Bow River. They again beat Edmonton’s Southwest girls handily in the semifinal 55-30, setting up a final with Calwest, who dominated the Calgary regular season, but ended up shorthanded in their league playoff run. The championship game started slowly, but the Stingers were ahead early in the first quarter and hung on to win. “We had a fantastic group of girls who improved tremendously over the course of the season,” said Carr, who was assisted by Stacy Lorenz of Camrose and Gerald Knox. “The girls really peaked heading into the playoffs, and we played some of our best basketball of the year in the last week or two.” The Stingers ended the year with a 17-2 record. Nine of the 10 Stingers attended the Basketball Alberta provincial team tryouts, with five girls moving on to the final tryout next month, including Alberta Summer Games veteran Lorenz.

FLIPPING CAKES

Camrose Fire Department members Steve Auerbach, left, and Paul Gibson were kept busy flipping pancakes at the spring breakfast at the Fire Hall on May 1.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

‘Getting even’ is a futile game A friend told me about two little boys who were having a serious fist fight. Their mother, disappointed in and irritated by her boys’ behavior, demanded an explanation. One of the roughed up, dishevelled youngsters tearfully blubbered, “He hit me back first.” The explanation didn’t make sense but it was clear that the boy felt a need to ‘get even’, retaliate, pay back, vent his anger. He was too immature to have learned that a fight to ‘get even’ never settles a dispute; it merely sets the stage for another fight because the parties involved eventually lose track of who started what, so never know when they have reached the goal of ‘being even’. Whether ‘getting even’ is the objective of spats between individuals – such as family break-ups – or international affairs involving retaliatory acts, the consequences are failures for all concerned. On the other hand, there are many examples of successes when disagreeing parties respectfully and peacefully negotiate fair and conciliatory settlements. In Canada, USA, Britain, Europe and other countries, close to half of families split before the children are sixteen years of age. As we know, this is often disastrous for all concerned, especially the children but, on the other hand, when separating parents negotiate amicably and unselfishly, all have a better chance of coping well, even living happily ever after. Similarly, in international affairs we’ve seen retaliatory incidents continue for generations at the expense of the nations involved. We’ve also seen very encouraging positive results of agreements and settlements which involved respect and fairness, sincere forgiveness and reconciliation. No one, neither individuals nor nations, can change the past; what we can do is put the past behind us and get on with making a better future. And that brings us to sober thoughts about the assassination of Osama bin Laden last month. It was indeed a relief to have out of circulation a mastermind guilty of perpetrating destructive and life-taking events. That was accomplished by his capture. The subsequent killing of the unarmed person without due process of international law will be seen as an act of revenge for the purpose of venting anger and ‘paying back’ in order to ‘get even’. When one studies history, one learns that ‘getting even’ is a futile and dangerous game to play. Rather than feeling safer because bin Laden is dead, we need to be prepared for revengeful acts of terrorism yet to be perpetrated by his adherents who are likely enraged and feel a great need to ‘get even’. It is hoped that people everywhere will eventually see the futility of trying to ‘get even’ because they lose count and therefore never reach the point of knowing when to stop fighting. We are fortunate that people everywhere, whether old or young, can be part of a movement to promote the healing of strained relationships whether at home or anywhere in the world. Each of us has a sphere of influence that counts; let’s use it!

The election is finally over. The government is formed. Whether we like it or not, this is what Canadians have chosen for our country. We will have to live with this. There is talk on the internet that we should make a law that makes it mandatory for every Canadian over the age of 18 to vote. If one does not vote, certain things like fines could be enforced. I personally do not find this to be a bad idea. Excuses like, I do not understand politics should not be a good excuse. Everybody should cast One ballot. There is No excuse not to. In other countries, voting is not a right. Voting at times in those areas is not allowed at all. Voting, in my view should be a duty. I as a Canadian love this country so much that at least I could drop a ballot. That should be the least that we could do to say thank you for our freedom. Our freedom was bought at a high price. The price of blood! Am I thinking right? I sure hope that I am! Lorne Vanderwoude Camrose Dear Editor:

On May 2, 60 per cent of voters chose change. Millions put their trust in a party that stands for justice, fairness and democracy, one that upholds the rights of women, minorities, seniors, the poor, the small scale entrepre-

neur, the first Nations peoples and the environment. They chose a party with vision and commitment to a future with fewer carcinogens, better opportunities, and safer communities. Thanks to these Canadians, history was made and a future made possible. The New Democratic Party acquired 102 seats in Parliament, almost tripling the number of New Democrat MPs, and forming the Official Opposition. With unprecedented numbers of younger New Democrat faces and 41 women NDP MPs, parliament now represents more Canadian interests than ever before. As the NDP Crowfoot Candidate I give you a wholehearted thank you. Your support, energy, and trust are what gave this campaign so much momentum. With 58 NDP seats in Quebec, Quebecers now find their social democratic values reflected in the federal New Democratic Party. Quebecers are now able to fully participate in redefining a Canada that cares for people, and the environment. Quebec no longer needs to feel alien -- it has a federal voice. Across the rest of our country, many Canadians chose Team Layton’s positive, progressive, and practical agenda. They too want a voice in how Canada moves forward through tough economic times, addresses inequities that cause real suffering, and makes sound environmental decisions for future generations. Jack Layton wants to get things done. He readily acknowledges Prime Minister Harper’s position in forming government and as Opposition Leader, Lay-

ton has declared that he will propose rather than oppose and work together with the Prime Minister for the good of ALL Canadians. New Democrats take the voices of Canadians very seriously. For New Democrats, it’s not just about the vote, but continuing to engage all Canadians, including those who voted for us for the first time, in making change together, and participating to make sure the government is accountable. A New Democrat opposition will push for major pension reforms, guaranteed funding for public health care, and greater substance and civility in parliament. It will work to revive women’s equality, improve human rights, address aboriginal grievances and choose solutions for families who are finding it tough now in a deep human recession with huge personal debt. Canadians will be watching to see if PM Harper will listen and truly honour our democratic parliament. Albertans particularly will be watching how the Prime Minister will deal with environmental protection as we face the largest pipeline oil leak in 35 years. Now it's time to turn the campaign momentum into action and together restore Canada to its past reputation as a fully democratic nation, an international peacekeeper and a country that distributes its wealth for the well-being of all those who live here. You can count on the New Democrats to be working until the job is done. Ellen Parker Camrose

Special Olympics wraps up swim season After a successful season of swimming for Special Olympics Camrose, two athletes competed in a swim meet in Red Deer. Coach Laura Bothe instructs about 20 athletes in the weekly program from early October to late April. She had 10 swimmers lined up to participate in the meet. "It was a bad weekend weatherwise so we just had two swimmers," explained Laura. "One of the girls, Naomi Rust, won an event and placed second in another. It was really exciting for her. We want to go every year because it was fun. They receive their times so they can try and improve for next year. The athletes have a dinner, receive ribbons and a scarf that said Special Olympics on it. It is just a fun time and they had a blast. We had about 10 people who just came to cheer the swimmers on." Bothe volunteered to start the Special Olympic swimming program two years ago after it had been dormant because there was no coach. "I coached in Edmonton and was a lifeguard for years. I then followed my career as a legal assistant and moved to the Daysland area. I contacted Colin (Atkinson) and he said they didn't have a swimming program. Do you what to start one?" "When I heard they wanted a program here, but didn't have a coach, I agreed to get the program started, even if it meant doing everything. It has been a lot of work, but certainly worth it. If I didn't do all of the work, we wouldn't have a program." Laura has two groups of swimmers. Aides help one group of athletes individually. "In the other group, we have some volunteers that help coach and the athletes are able to swim on their own." The program doesn't have age requirements. "We can have young moms with babies or people learning to swim with mats. As long as they have an aide to help them individually. Once they can swim a complete length of the pool, they can go into the other group and we work on their skills so they can go to meets if they want to." Laura did everything the first year and this year she had a volunteer to help her. However, she needs more volunteers in order for her to handle the number of swimmers that are in the pool each week. "Right now I coordinate it, manage it and coach so I need more volunteers for next year. I continue to coach because I love it." Special Olympics currently offers swimming, bowling and softball. "Camrose would like to have curling, floor hockey and track if we could find enough volunteers." Each sport needs a coach and several volunteers to ensure the programs keep going. "We don't want to start something and then tell the athletes we can't go to a competition because we don't have the right coaching or enough volunteers. That's why I need more volunteers so when I am coaching someone, the others are not running around or maybe they need some help." Laura would like to go to a swim meet in Calgary, but it would be based on the number of volunteers and funding. "It would be more fun and relaxed if we could stay over night, but that depends on funding. I like to volunteer because if you are having a bad day, they instantly pick you up. The athletes are always excited so see you and like to learn. They are so happy and giving and it is nice for them to be able to be in sports. It is a lot of fun." The Camrose program raises money to pay for training facilities and is matched by Special Olympics. The swimming program begins on October 17 next fall. To volunteer, contact Colin Atkinson at atkinc@gmail.com or phone 780-672-2282. The final bowling tournament for Special Olympics Camrose was on May 7 at Tabb Lanes.

Hockey Canada impressed with Camrose By Dan Jensen

Camrose made a strong impression on Hockey Canada at last week's Royal Bank Cup. "Its been great," said Hockey Canada manager of event operations Kevin Webster. "The crowds have been excellent, the host committee has been extremely organized, and the teams have been treated to a first class facility and group of volunteers. "There certainly have not been any complaints from our end." Webster noted that while attendance in Camrose wasn't at high as what it was at the Royal Bank Cup tournaments at Grande Prairie in 2004 or Prince George in 2007, it was still among the top five all-time. He added that the afternoon game played May 4 was the only one where the total attendance was not above 2,000. "A lot of the credit for the attendance has to go to the Camrose Kodiaks for all the work they did in the community, making sure people knew they were in this event and hosting it, as well as the host committee for their work in making sure this was going to be successful," he said. Webster does not have a problem, based on what he has seen this year and in the past with the World Junior A challenge, with Camrose submitting a bid for a future Royal Bank Cup. He said Humboldt, Saskatchewan, will host the Royal Bank Cup in 2012, and Summerside and Newmarket are bidding for the 2013 Royal Bank Cup, but after that the decision as to where it will be held is still up in the air. "We are not opposed to being in one province multiple times," he said. "This event has an open

bid process and the awarding of it is based on the best bid, best business plan, organization, host committee and ticket sales strategy. All of those things are what makes a bid successful. Everyone has the opportunity to bid whenever they want." Webster praised Kevin Gurr and members of the Royal Bank Cup organizing committee for the hard work they did in drumming up sponsors for the tournament. "It is an easy sell in one way because you get to tell the sponsors and ticket buyers that all dollars – any profits from the tournament – stay right here in Camrose," he said. "Hockey Canada is not taking a percentage, Hockey Alberta is not taking a percentage. All the money that is generated is staying right here with the Camrose Kodiaks and the legacy plan that they have to continue to improve and give back to the community." Hockey Canada already has a fairly busy schedule for next season, with three major events in November, followed by Under 17 championships in Manitoba in December and the World Junior A championships in Alberta. The year will finish with four national championships that will take place in April and May. Hockey Canada recently signed an agreement with the International Hockey Federation that will see Canada host a world women's or a world juniors' event almost every other year. "Hockey Canada has done a great job with different communities across the country in hosting international events and we are going to be seeing a lot more of Camrose Kodiaks' forward Luke Challier battles Portage Terriers' defenceman Josh Dufresne for a those events in Canada from now spot in front of the Portage net on May 3. Players are not only fighting for the RBC Cup championships, several players are working hard to impress professional and college scouts. on," said Webster.

Big screen was a welcome addition By Dan Jensen

The big screen at the west end of the EnCana Arena was a welcome addition for last week's Royal Bank Cup. "The fans have been blown away by it," said tournament chair Kevin Gurr. "It's a great addition to the facility and it enabled us to do a few more things in the area of production." The big screen is a legacy to the City of Camrose from the Camrose Kodiaks and the Camrose Sport Development Society. "It will be great when we get curling events and other big events that come to town in the future," said Gurr. While it was the most noticeable, the big screen wasn't the only new piece of technology that was on display at the arena. Other pieces of equipment were spinning spotlights and an automated 50/50 display that kept fans informed as to the total amount of 50/50 tickets sold.

blown away by the experience they have had," he said. "One of our goals as an organizing committee was to make sure the team services levels were second to none from the time they got on the airplane until the time we sent them back on their way. "They all worked really hard to get here and we wanted to make sure that they had a truly professional experience."

By Dan Jensen

Strong pre-sales

Gurr said the Royal Bank Cup set a new record with the number of tickets that were pre-sold. "We were selling full packages right up to when the event started." "We did pretty well, too, with the sale of walk-up tickets." Gurr wasn't expecting attendance to better the total attendance of Grande Prairie, which he said has a bigger facility. Strong play by Kodiaks

Gurr was pleased with the strong play of the Camrose Kodiaks, which finished play last Wednesday evening with a record of three wins and one loss. Positive experience "They were a little rusty to Gurr heard many positive start with after being off for a comments in the first five days while but they were getting betof the tournament on the level ter every game," he said. of organization exhibited by the The final game on Sunday Royal Bank Cup organizing comwas televised by The Sports Netmittee. "All the teams have just been work.

The trophy that everyone was chasing at the Royal Bank Cup in Camrose last week. The forerunner to the Royal Bank Cup was the Manitoba Centennial Cup, which ran for 25 years from 1971 to 1995 inclusive. In May of 1996, the inaugural Royal Bank Cup was held in Melfort, Saskatchewan, continuing the fine tradition of a National Junior ‘A’ championship.

Don't hold your breath while waiting for players from the 2011 Royal Bank Cup to be chosen in the first two rounds of next month's NHL entry draft in Minnesota. "I think you'll see between five and seven players from this tournament chosen, but none before the third round," said Wayne Meier, amateur scout for the Pittsburgh Penguins. "Having said that, you only have to make an impression with one team." Royal Bank Cup fans have had the treat of watching several players who have gone on to have successful NHL careers, including Mike Camalleri, Scott Gomez, Rod Brind'Amour, Willie Mitchell, Mason Raymond and Scottie Upshall. Royal Bank Cup alumni who have been selected in the first round of the draft in the last few years are Beau Bennett (Pittsburgh Penguins), former Camrose Kodiaks' Joe Colbourne (chosen by Boston Bruins and traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs) and Dylan Olsen (Chicago Black Hawks), and Kyle Turris with the Phoenix Coyotes.

Meier isn't deterred by the fact that most of the players who are competing in the tournament will be going on to university next season and won't be available to NHL teams in the immediate future. In fact, he feels it is almost a positive, as playing at the university level gives them a chance to mature and compete against stronger players. While he wouldn't say which players that stood out for him the most, Meier said the Penguins have always coveted players who exhibit a strong compete level and skating abilities. "If you watch our big club you will notice we have players who are very good at both those things," he said. Meier said he was impressed with the compete level of all the teams at the Royal Bank Cup. "They understand that they are here to win a national championship. That is what you always want to see when you are running an organization. The teams from eastern Canada are not having a lot of success now but they have a lot of talent running through their lineups."

Chevrolet Cruze Refined for Canada

Graeme Davidson McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet By Dan Jensen

assistance that all last for five years, or 160,000 kilometres.

After making a splash around the world, the new Chevrolet Cruze has arrived at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC, Camrose. "It's a popular compact car that has been refined for Canada," said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC managing partner Will McClellan. The Cruze was launched in more than 60 countries before landing on Canadian soil. It was named AutoBest 2010 winner by European journalists, New Car of the Year in India, and Best Value for Money Car of the Year by Business Stanard Motoring, and was a World Touring Car Championship multiple race winner. "Overall, the Cruze is quite an impressive effort, which, at least in terms of refinement and comfort, almost feels like something from the size or price bracket above," wrote The Independent (UK). "The new Cruze, with its excellent fuel economy, class leading safety equipment and low price tag, will definitely give the imports a run for their money," said RoadandTrack.com.

Spacious interior

Bold face

The Chevy Cruze's design is distinguished with a bold face – including a two-tier grille with the iconic bowtie logo – that is Chevrolet's signature look around the globe. An arching roofline connects a steeply raked windshield and fast-sloping rear pillars to give the car a sporty, couple-like proportion. The sporty aesthetic is also seen in prominent headlamp housings that wrap around the corners and sweep upward in the fenders and sculpted hood, as well as a short rear deck typically found on sports coupes. The wheels are at the corners, too, with minimal front and rear overhangs. All the elements work cohesively to give Cruze an aggressive look that is complemented by a wide, confident stance. Turbocharged

A 1.4 litre ECOTEC Turbo four-cylinder engine (standard on the Cruze Eco, LT Turbo and LTZ Turbo models) produces best-in-class 5.0 litres/100 km highway and 7.1 litres/100 km city fuel consumption ratings. The engine combines a small displacement with the enhanced turbocharged torque needed for added acceleration and

passing power, while a variable displacement fuel pump reduces the amount of torque required to pump the oil, further increasing fuel efficiency. The Cruze LS features the fuel-efficient 136-horsepower 1.8 litre ECOTEC dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine. Both the 1.4 and 1.8 litre engines are backed up by six-speed manual and automatic transmissions which, with their carefully-matched gears, enhance the fun-todrive quotient. Cruze holds the road as well as it does your attention. The showcase of advanced handling technologies include the StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, traction control and a Z-link design rear suspension. An automatic air shutter system housed just behind the front grille opens and closes when appropriate, to minimize drag and maximize fuel efficiency. Cruze is backed by a powertrain component limited warranty, courtesy transportation and 24/7 roadside

The interior isn't just stylish – it's highly functional. A good example is the versatility offered by the standard 60/40 split-folding rear seats that open up to an extended cargo pass-through to the trunk. The bold approach to design is revealed by the sporty available two-tone interiors on LT and LTZ Turbo models. Then turn your attention to roominess that is nothing short of revelation in the compact car class. And a thorough attention to detail is prominently displayed with finishing touches like the French stitching on the luxurious Cruze LTZ Turbo's heated front seats with leatherappointed seating surfaces. "The interior is spacious. Visibility is outstanding. On the road, the Cruze is genuinely quiet – not from an overabundance of insulation, but from thoughtful design," said The Truth About Cars. The instrument panel is an excellent example of how Cruze eschews expectations of compact cars. It features richly detailed instruments that are backlit with light-emitting diode (LED) technology. The LED lights provide a crisp, ice-blue illumination of the analog instruments, as well as lighting for other interior controls. A segment-rare standard driver information centre offers a wealth of data for the vehicle owner. Blending harmoniously with the instrument panels is an integrated centre stack that houses the infotainment display, climate controls and radio controls. Flushmounted components within the centre stack have a gap tolerance of less than one mm, while the instrument panel-to-door panel gaps are less than 5 mm. Those tolerances are among the best in the class and contribute significantly to the Cruze's aura of refinement and precision. Safety

Ten standard air bags help make the Cruze one of the safest cars in its class. The body structure is tight and stiff, and its solidity enabled engineers to more precisely tune the chassis for more comfort and driving control.

Selin donates calf to Open Door

By Murray Green

James Selin of the Hay Lakes-Armena area recalled his fond memories of his days in 4-H and decided to help the Armena Beef Club and a local charity. His five years in the club came at a time when the positive influences helped him through the teenage years and built a solid foundation of character for his future. James, now 26, farms with his father Ivan and looks after 250 head of cattle. "I wanted to give back and decided to donate a calf to the Armena Beef Club and they could donate it to any local charity," said James. "They picked the Camrose Open Door Association and I think it is a good charity because it helps youth." The money raised from the sale of the steer at the Camrose District 4-H Show and Sale on May 3 went directly to the Open Door. "We got a late start by the time we had everything cleared to do it. It was around December, so he is a little smaller than some other animals. I hope we have a few people bidding on it to drive the price up so we can raise more money." James was grateful for his time in the beef club. "The 4-H experience helped me quite a bit. The motto Learn To Do By Doing, the hands-on experience and working with other people were both fun and it had a good learning atmosphere. The show and sale was a long day, but it was fun and it is a good deal for the members." The steer weighed 932 pounds and was purchased by Lindholm Seed Farms from New Norway. The winning bid was $3 a pound to raise $2,796 for the Open Door.

Camrose Composite High School will be well represented at this year's Provincial Skills Canada competition. Romyn Clark, Karsten Nelson, Ricky Parenteau, Wanita Voytechek, Katelyn Kjos, and Ben Patterson will be joining approximately 650 other students from across Alberta at the May 11 and 12 event in Edmonton. The gold medal winners will have the opportunity to go on to the Skills Canada national competition in Quebec City June 1 to 4. "The students we are sending to provincials have a high skill level," said CCHS teacher Matthew Stinson. "I'm confident they will represent us very well." Clark and Nielsen were silver and gold medal winners in automotives at the recent Skills Canada regional competition in Vermilion, where they were tested on everything from steering and suspension adjustments to engine diagnosis. They see the Skills Canada competition coming up as both exciting and intimidating. "You know that you will be going against the top automotives students in the province," said Clark. The students know that a good result at the provincial competition will look very good on a resume. "It's going to be exciting for us for sure, but we will just have to wait and see how we do," said Nielsen. "Whatever we learn will be useful later on." Clark and Nielsen have done a lot of preparation for the provincial event. Automotives instructor Kevin Nagy estimates the two did in excess of 30 hours of after-school training. "They were here every week night for about three or four hours," said Nagy. The nervousness of Clark and Nielsen is shared by regional bronze medallist Parenteau, who will be asked to show judges everything he knows about making joints, craftsmanship and dimensions.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER May 10, 2011

Bears proved to be too much for Terriers By Murray Green

It took the Camrose Kodiaks just 38 seconds to let the Portage Terriers know they were in for a dog fight. Camrose captain Clayton Jardine scored in the first minute and the Kodiaks went on to defeat the Terriers 4-2 on May 3. Landon Kadatz, Ben Gallacher and Kenny Bradley also supplied the goal scoring. Player of the game Tanner Dion had his goal called off, but that didn't discourage him from having a great game. "It was pretty important to have that good start and score early," said Tanner. "It is good for momentum. It is great when everyone is buying in because then we are unstoppable. Our line is out there to create havoc and get things started." Camrose scored the first three goals and put the game on cruise control after that. "We knew how important this game was for us tonight. I did the math and knew that if we won, we will be playing in a semifinal game on Saturday," said coach Boris Rybalka. "Goal number one was to get to the semifinals. Now we are there. Where we finish doesn't matter. What is important is that we are getting better with each game and our focus is to play in the final right now." The Kodiaks are receiving strong performances from a variety of players. "People ask us all of the time. Who is your big scorer? Well,

it is everybody. When we built this team it wasn't going to be one or two players. It is a total team effort. That is why it is difficult to play against us." Boris addressed the players about going on cruise control. "I said this is nationals and we have five great teams here. You can't let down for a minute. We know Portage never quits, they haven't all year. We learned a lesson in the third period. That was a good, quick lesson for us. They (the players) now know everyone goes hard right to the end." Tanner agreed they might have let off the pedal a little in the third. "They are a good team and they are not going to quit. Facing a bit of adversity at this stage of the game might be a good thing for us, so when we get to the final game, we will be ready." Landon Kadatz put on a clinic on how to play a one on one and score on a quick break when he roofed a close-in shot. "He has pro potential if he ever realizes how good he is. You saw his speed and his hands. He has shown flashes like that two or three times this year and he can score those highlight reel goals quite often." The fact that the Kodiaks were one step ahead of the dogs all night thrilled the crowd and sent a message that Camrose is more than just the host team. Now the focus is to show their parents they can play Camrose Kodiaks' goalie Dalyn Flette knocks the puck to the corner until help arrives against the Portage Terriers on May 3. The host team went on to win the contest 4-2 in the first round at the RBC Cup. on Mother's Day.

Kodiaks place second in RBC first round play By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks' captain Clayton Jardine has a loose puck beside him, but is sandwiched between the Pembroke defenceman Stephen Farrell and goalie Francis Dupuis on this scoring chance. Inset: Defenceman Sam Jardine blocked several shots along with his goalie Dayln Flette, as the Camrose Kodiaks survived a five on three to rally for a 2-1 victory over the Pembroke Lumber Kings on May 4.

The Camrose Kodiaks beat the Pembroke Lumber Kings 2-1 to gain home advantage in a semifinal game at the RBC Cup. In reality, it was more of a sigh of relief that they didn't have to feel the venom of the Vernon Vipers in the semifinals. The bears want another chance to maul the defending champion Vipers in the final on May 8. "Finishing second gives us last change. Theoretically you are playing in your home barn, you are the home team whether you want to be or not," said associate coach Miles Walsh. "Other than last change, I don't think it will make or break us. We are happy to be playing on Saturday (semifinals) and that is the key. You can't play on Sunday if you don't get to Saturday. It doesn't matter who we play." The Kodiaks started slowly again. "I'll be honest with you. I thought we were terrible in the first period and didn't have any jump at all. We played way better in the second, no doubt about it. We took some dumb penalties on our part. We had to kill off a five on three and I thought our guys did a fantastic job. I think Jordan Hale and Sam Jardine were out the whole time blocking shots and Dalyn Flette hasn't let much go past him this whole tournament. I don't think it was our best game. Our penalty killing was good and we had some warriors out there tonight." Tanner Dion netted the first goal of the game in the second period from a tip off of a Sam Jardine shot. After Pembroke tied the game in the third, the Kodiaks came back with the game winner when sniper Tyler Jewitt redi-

rected a play from the Jardine brothers, Clayton and Sam. Jewitt led the team in scoring in the regular season and in the AJHL playoffs, but seemed to struggle at the RBC Cup. "It was good to get that off my back. We knew that if we won that game it would put us into second place,. It was a really big win for us," said Jewitt. "It didn't matter too much if we came in second or third. We wanted to avoid Vernon next." Camrose goalie Flette held the Lumber Kings to one goal on 30 shots, including holding them to seven scoreless power plays. Jewitt agreed his game winner wasn't his best goal. "I know Jardine had it at the point and shot it. I went to the net to create traffic and his shot hit my stick and I deflected it in. It was a bit of a messy one. It took us a while to get going, but once we did, we were fine. We had to kill off all those penalties and once we did, it gave us momentum. If we could get by the storm, we knew we would be fine the rest of the game." "We blew our opportunities on the power play early in the game and that allowed them (the Kodiaks) to hang around," said Pembroke coach Sheldon Keefe. " He was frustrated that his player was called for a trip at the whistle when other infractions were let go. “The officials put their whistles away and let the teams work hard,” Keefe said. “It was a very hard-fought third period. Very disappointing that they’d decide to pull the whistles back out and call another penalty 200 feet from our net after the whistle on a very insignificant play.” He said they don't have any more excuses. Pembroke has to win their next game.

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 fi ner 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.

Rockabilly Punch Drunk Cabaret plays for fireworks By Murray Green

Local musicians will be hitting the stage to help raise money for a great fireworks display on Canada Day. "A May 28th concert at Scalliwags will feature the Myra Marshall Band and Punch Drunk Cabaret," said Jane Cherry-Lemire, Community Arts Director for the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre. "This will be the first time Punch Drunk Cabaret will perform in Camrose." The funds will be used to add to the money raised to improve the quality and length of the fireworks during Canada Day celebration in Rudy Swanson Park. "The interesting thing about this project is that drummer Robin Eklund from Camrose, and I, were from mainstream rock music and both of us were looking for something different. Robin was in a band called Rake and he joined us, Screwtape Lewis, towards the end of our run," said lead singer and guitarist Randy Bailer. "We were getting a little burnt out. We had this once a year gig in Wetaskiwin where we played pretty much all background music and we would "improv" the whole thing. It turned out that the event was the most fun." The musicians put their heads together and thought about how they could incorporate that into their regular music. "It was too different to be called Screwtape Lewis anymore. And that ran its course anyway. It was nice to start from scratch. We are embracing the earliest influences of musicians for us. We wanted to stay away from music our parents listened to. We grew up as teenagers in the '80s, so it was more new wave and rock. As you get older you start to think about your old influences." Bailer says it is an artistic rebirth for him to look back at what got him started in music in the first place. "Now we are students of those styles and studying them from a musician's standpoint. The strange thing, it is like putting out an antenna. I have written more songs than any other time in my life. Maybe it has been floating in my subconscious and germinating for some time. There is something really natural about it. It doesn't feel like we are reinventing the wheel anymore, which it felt like for a lot of years." Punch Drunk Cabaret writes most of its own songs. "We do some covers because people need to hear some familiar tunes. We don't do mainstream rock anymore. It is a ton of fun now. It has been embarrassing in a way, because we have had more success at this from the get-go, where we worked so hard at it with our previous music." Some of the Randy's influences come from Duane Eddy, Hank Williams, The Ventures, and other early rock and roll performers. Later influences would be John Cougar Mellancamp, Brian Setzer, John Wait and The Stray Cats. Its songs combine outlaw country, rockabilly, punk, swing and rock into a sound to which people find themselves tapping their toes or it makes them want to get up and dance. "We wanted to have a concert in Camrose to expand our fan base as well as have a home event for Robin," said Randy. "Jane and the arts society have organized events that we have been involved with in the past. When she introduced me to this idea, I thought it would be a great way for us to play here. I listened to a concert at Scalliwags in the Rose City Roots Society series and I thought this would be a good place to play." Randy doesn't mind that the crowd will be about 100 people. "It is fun to play in small venues because it's fun to feel the energy of the crowd and develop relationships with people. That can be so rewarding for musicians. You have instant feedback." Punk Drunk Cabaret will also have Terry Grant on stage. He plays a 12-string bass. For more information or to listen to the band, go to web site punchdrunkcabaret.com and listen to four new songs. The band recorded some of their live energy in Saskatoon with award winning engineer and Northern Pikes alumnus Ross Nykiforuk, and cutting four songs in four days. The tracks are set to be included on the band’s debut CD Ship Shape and Fightin' Form due early this summer. Both "Two Bottles of Beer" and "Indispensable Colleague" have had rave reviews on their web site. "We are even doing this the old way. We are playing first and then making a CD," said Randy. Tickets for the show can be purchased at Candler Art Gallery or the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre.

Joseph Vernon Malone Joseph Vernon Malone, known to friends and family as Vern, was born at Consort, AB, July 19, 1931, the third child of Vernon and Florence (Gillis) Malone. At the age of three years, he moved with his parents, one older sister and younger brother to the Rosalind area. His schooling to grade eight was taken at Coal Valley School, two miles from home; the remaining grades were taken at Rosalind, six miles away. He travelled to school by horseback, until near the end, when buses became available. Following his school years, he began his farming career, which became his passion in life. One fall, following being hailed out, he and his brother Len went out to work, doing stooking for other farmers. For many years, he not only grain farmed, but also kept range cattle and feeders, all of which he was very proud. He became very active in the Catholic Church at Rosalind and later in Heisler. He really enjoyed floor curling and the companionship at the drop-in centre. Over the years, he was a member of the Elks, Farmer’s Union and the Knights of Columbus. In recent years, he retired but remained living on the farm. Vernon will be sadly missed by his two brothers Leonard of Rosalind and Arnold (Susan) of Invermere, BC; and his three sisters Jean (Leo) Vos of Daysland, Mary (Rod) May of Camrose and Maureen Sereda of Camrose; as well as 19 nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his infant sister Joan, parents Vernon (1973) and Florence (2006), brother-in-law Ernest Sereda and nephew Micheal Moessner. Following a brief illness, Vernon passed away peacefully on April 17, 2011, on the farm that he loved so much. A prayer vigil was held on Monday, April 25, 2011, at 7:00 p.m. from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church, Daysland. A Memorial Mass was held on Tuesday, April 26, 2011, at 2:00 p.m. from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church Daysland with Rev. Leon Kler as Celebrant. Inurnment followed in Rosalind Catholic Cemetery. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or the charity of one’s choice.

David Carl Thiessen of Edberg passed away at the Cross Cancer Hospital in Edmonton, AB, on April 29, 2011, two months short of his 80th birthday. Carl spent his early years in the Acme and Sunnyslope area. In 1948, he together with his parents and siblings, moved to Abbotsford, BC. On November 11, 1956, he married Lydia and they shared almost 55 years together, raising their family of seven children. In 1976, they moved with their children to Strome and Heisler, AB area. In later years, Carl and Lydia moved to Edberg, AB, area where they resided until his passing. Carl gave his heart to Jesus and accepted Him as his personal Savior at the age of 12. He was baptized into the Church of God in Christ Mennonite by Min. Jesse Johnson at Linden, AB. Carl faced the battles of the Christian life with perseverance and determination. He testified to an assurance of salvation and a longing to meet his Maker. As a youth, Carl farmed together with his dad and brothers. He loved this occupation and pursued it with enthusiasm all his life. He also had several sideline occupations including a short stint working on the oil rigs, truck driving and carpentry. He seemed to have a knack for tackling and fixing anything or building something out of almost nothing. He often said “I don’t throw anything away”, then after building a windmill or plant hanger, he’d say “See! Look what you can make with used things.” He loved to tinker – restoring old tractors and working on equipment. Carl loved getting together with family and friends. Just in the last year, Carl and Lydia added on to their house because more room was needed to host get-togethers. Carl had an exceptional zeal for tract distribution and always had tracts along with him. He encouraged scripture memorization. His grandchildren enjoyed his stories and seemingly endless enthusiasm. The family wishes to express deep appreciation to St. Mary’s Hospital and the Cross Cancer Institute staff for all the loving care of Carl while he was hospitalized. Those who treasure fond memories include his loving wife Lydia; four sons Gerald (Vickie), Ralph (Nancy) of Ferintosh, AB, Bernard (Connie) of New Sarepta, AB, and Glen (Barb) of Abbotsford, BC; three daughters Brenda (Jordan) Isaac of New Norway, AB, Mary (Dwight) Reimer of Linden, AB, and Carla (Frank) Goossen of Ste. Anne, MB; daughter-in-law Leanne Thiessen of Chilliwack, BC; 31 grandchildren Jonathan and Carolee Thiessen, Jennifer and Jordan Koehn, Caleb, Andrew Thiessen, Justin and Monica, Colin, Kyler, Zachary Thiessen, Shantel, Megan, Greg, Janelle Thiessen, Kianna and Steven Epp, Kristal Thiessen, Lovaie, Layne, Landyn, David Isaac, Leah, Kristen, Naomi, Kari Reimer, Brittany, Jordan, Jelena, Kidron and Eli Goossen; two sisters Dorothea Baerg and Dorismae Tront; brother-in-law Tom Baerg; and the Braun Family. He also leaves behind extended family and a host of good friends. He was predeceased by his parents, three brothers, two sisters, two brothers-in-law and one sister-in-law. A funeral service was held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, May 3, 2011, at Church of God in Christ, Edberg, AB. Interment followed at Lakeview Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation or the charity of one’s choice. Condolences may be made at www.weberfuneralhome.ca.
