Bailey Theatre – The Sequel… Grand Opening this weekend! The Bailey Theatre Society was formed in 1998 with the intent to restore the once remarkable old movie house and entertainment facility to its former glory. Originally, plans for the aged structure included necessary repairs, paint and other cosmetic improvements. However, a much grander vision by a handful of dedicated local citizens led to a $8 million reconstruction and impressive enhancement of the building. Former Camrosian Frank MacInnis, today a Fortune 500 businessman and philanthropist of note, stepped forward with a multi-million-dollar donation to the cause. The City of Camrose, provincial and federal governments also made timely mega-milliondollar-sized donations. The result is a first-class venue which will be used for local theatre, business presentations, ceremonies and a wide variety of entertainment. It’s been just over 100 years since initial construction by entrepreneur Camille David. Well over a decade ago, Landmark Cinemas donated the building and a tired, well-used projector to the Bailey Theatre Society. And the Bailey Theatre, which has provided millions of memories for people far and wide, can now live on! This week, the Grand Opening of the new, improved Bailey Theatre will take place. A limited number of tickets for the May 21st opening are still available. Call 780-672-5510 for details.

City chasing hot air balloon championships By Dan Jensen

Camrose could end up being the host city for this fall's Canadian Hot Air and Western Canadian Hot Air Balloon Championships. Camrose City council passed a recommendation at its May 9 regular meeting to provide $5,000 to the Northern Lights Hot Air Balloon Club for the joint event, proposed to be held Sept. 22 to 25. Funding would come from the City's Community Assistance Grant account. The City of Camrose was contacted last February by the Northern Lights Hot Air Balloon Club about the possibility of hosting the championships, which would have as many as 15 to 20 ballooning teams and eight competitions. The overall budget for the event is expected to be approximately $50,000. City assistant municipal engineer Jeremy Enarson told council in a written report that while the event is anticipated to receive a combined contribution of $6,000 from the Canadian Ballooning Association and the Alberta Free Balloonist Society, the remainder of the financing is anticipated through fund-raising and matching grants from the province. The City's one-time contribution would match the funding from the Canadian Ballooning Association. It would be used to encourage corporate sponsors, both local and beyond. City administration feels the ballooning championships could be an exciting addition to the 2011 events calendar. "This would bring significant exposure and publicity to the city and is likely to bring a number of tourists to Camrose to watch this event," said Enarson. "In addition, a successfully run event in 2011 may also open the doors to future ballooning events in the Camrose region." Northern Lights Hot Air Balloon Club president John R. Phillips told council in a May 4 letter that the championships will be a fantastic opportunity for the City of Camrose to showcase itself, and for the ballooning community to attract new members and new pilots so that it can once again start to build its numbers. The 2008 and 2009 championships were held in Grande Prairie. Tourism Camrose coordinator Hazel Cail told council at the meeting that funding from the City would offset the cost of the hotel for the pilots of the balloons, as well as pay for the cost of the propane. She added the Camrose Airport and the Camrose Regional Exhibition would be two possible locations. "They like to do this in the fall because the crops are off and if they are required to land there isn't as much damage to the fields." Councillor Gerry Galenza believes the ballooning championship would be a great event for Camrose. "I attended a hot air championship in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the visual, seeing the balloons in the air is tremendous," he said. "They really market the event." While not opposed to the event, councillor Howard said he would like to have more information. "We are being asked to make a significant contribution without seeing how successful it has been in the past and without seeing a budget." Mayor Marshall Chalmers said the championship could turn into a nice event for Camrose, and eventually grow into a major festival. Councillor Earle Berry went as far to suggest that the event could be another Big Valley Jamboree in the making, attracting numerous balloonists and lots of visitors. "It could be another source of revenue for the Camrose Regional Exhibition."

Council adopts planning document By Dan Jensen

A document entitled Going Forward: The Roadmap to 2015 – Strategic Priorities – 2011-2015 was adopted by City council May 9. Going Forward: The Roadmap to 2015 – Strategic Priorities – 2015 identifies priorities that require special attention in order to help the City achieve long-term goals. "It is effectively a plan to affect change in the City as an organization," said City manager Brian Hamblin. The Roadmap to 2015 was developed following three "community consultation" sessions and one employee session, in which people were invited to provide feedback on the plan's vision and the proposed priority areas. The opportunity to provide feedback online was also made available. "The 2008 plan was created without public consultation and it was the desire of council to complete this plan with feedback and input from residents and stakeholders," said Hamblin. Strategic priorities

The Roadmap to 2015 includes five strategic priorities: economic development; capital projects and expenditures; core services/core business; decision

making protocols; and informed and engaged community. Long term goals for economic development are to: increase job creation; ensure the City is a welcoming and supportive business environment while protecting the interests of the City; maximize the use of City facilities; diversify the local economic base; and strengthen Camrose's role as a regional centre. An indicator of success would be positive results of business satisfaction feedback survey. Long term goals for capital projects and expenditures are to: finalize the decision making and completion/implementation timeline for major capital facility and service projects; and improve the asset management and maintenance of existing capital infrastructure. Long term goals for core services/core businesses are to: provide the most effective services in the most efficient manner; and to be an employer of choice. Long term goals for decisionmaking protocols are to: improve decision-making effectiveness; and to improve legislative services to council. Long term goals for an engaged and informed community are to: increase the account-

ability and transparency of City council; and to improve communication with the public. The most debated priority in the community conversations was decision-making protocols, with some citizens feeling it was critical and others feeling it was a business as usual activity. A common thread through all discussions was the importance of balancing fiscal responsibility while moving forward with critical, decisions essential for managing growth. Actions suggested by the public to achieve strategic priorities were to: support and promote small business; offer easy set up and transition for small business; open the Bailey Theatre; increase funding for heritage facilities administration so they are still here in five years; making community-wide recycling a core business; making sure council members have the opportunity to fully understand what the agencies contribute to the community and how they function before making a decision on financial support; and encourage and facilitate active citizenship by educating citizens about the opportunities to contribute and find information.

Camrose cyclist and LPN David Vince wants to make a difference. The Bethany Group employee works with three MS patients on a daily basis. But, he wants to do more. He has two houses for sale and he wants to donate up to $2,000 from the proceeds of the sales to the MS Bike Tour that goes from Leduc to Camrose and back on June 11 and 12. David also has a revenue property in Wetaskiwin from which he is willing to donate some proceeds to MS as well. "This is the first MS Bike Tour that I will be in. This excites me as with medical improvements not yet widely available in Canada, the difference in the lives of people can be huge," Davis said. "Our client is fundraising for the treatment he has just undergone in California." David has been training for the 85 kilometre trek. "I have two daughters so they keep me pretty busy and active. We cycle in the valley all of the time. You have to pledge $295 before you can go on the Bike Tour. I'm just starting, but I hope to use the proceeds of the sale of the houses to help me with the pledges." An open house at the 3703-58 Street home in Camrose will be held on Monday, May 23, from 4 to 6 p.m. Donations or pledges for David's ride can also be made at that time. To make an appointment to view the property at a different time, e-mail rdvince@telus. net or phone 780-672-8470.

is within a block of Jack Stuart School. David said he has met some wonderful people who are fighting MS. "I want to sell the house, but I also want to help people. They are special people, they just have a disease. One of them (Eldon Hammer) is getting ready to return from treatments and I thought this

would be a good way to help him pay for the costs. He is bedridden and in lots of pain. I would like to see him regain the use of his hands so he can work on the computer." To donate to MS patient Eldon Hammer contact the Camrose Scotiabank and ask about the Eldon Hammer savings account fund.

Spring Run Off

Letters to the Editor Letters are welcomed but please limit them to 500 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number. Letters to third parties are not accepted. Dear Editor:

Ty Wildcat and Emily Braun set a fast pace in the Camrose Running Club's third annual Ole's Spring Run-off (formerly Puffin' for a Muffin) May 7. A total of 89 runners participated in the three and eight km runs starting at Jubilee Park, while another 45 participated in the one km event. Money raised from the Ole's Spring Run-off will be used to support the Camrose Public Library's summer reading program, as well as purchase for the library fitness-related books and magazines.

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Congratulations to Art Fadum, Sylvia Lyon, Theo Thirsk and Peter LeBlanc for the production of Love Letters by A.R. Gurney. I enjoyed every minute of the play. Sylvia, for the duration of the play, you became Melissa, and Art, you Andy (Andrew). The highest compliment to pay any performing artist. Please allow me to spend my few cents of worth (subjective perception) regarding the play. A quote from the director's note: "What emerged is a poignant story of how two people struggle to find themselves and each other." For my perception, neither Melissa or Andy find themselves, nor each other. Melissa lost herself and Andy thought he had found himself, but discovered after her death that he has lost most (all) of himself. She gave him the find of himself, which he only realized after she was gone. How very tragic. Linda Hugo, Camrose Dear Editor: subject: tornados

With gratitude for green spaces My inspiration for this week’s column was the front page of last week’s Booster – the picture of the three dedicated volunteer gentlemen relocating a condominium-style purple martin house. Pretty classy digs! And the purple martins like them, evidence being the fact that the purple martin population has increased from eight pairs in 2003 to 173 pairs in 2009. What a success! And it is a credit to the Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Project, Camrose and District Fish and Game Association, the City of Camrose. the two Rotary Clubs of Camrose, and to the valuable assistance of many dedicated individual volunteers. Camrose was fortunate that long ago a few citizens recognized the valuable asset that was the small Stoney Creek and what was once called “the dam.” It took some time to get used to calling the dam Mirror Lake, and it was more difficult to sell taxpayers the long term vision of a park system with all-season walking and skiing trails, playgrounds along the way, picnic shelters, humming bird gardens, some marked historically significant sites and more to come. The paved walkways have provided easily accessible locations for several unique sculptures by local artisans. The parks system has greatly facilitated the summer nature walks provided by the Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Project as well as the Purple Martin Festival scheduled for June 5 at the Stoney Creek Centre. It will be a wonderful family day, with bus tours, nature talks about birds, and plants and care of the environment. Several of the speakers will come from the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta. While not located within the city’s parks system, worthy of mention is the botanical garden at the Canadian Northern Railway Station, operated by Bruce and Glenys Smith, and the work that is done there to acquaint children (and adults) with numerous plant species and railway history. Now that we have thoroughly enjoyed a few days of warm, summer-like weather, we look forward to actual summer and strolling, hiking or cycling on the park trails. Participating in events like the Purple Martin Festival, or the weekly educational walks make nature studies pure fun. Let us enjoy with gratitude the wonderful amenity that helps people connect with nature. May we be good stewards of it!

A map of North America in 1992 edition of Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Weather shows Alberta almost entirely within the "marginallyprone tornado-prone area." (Page 116). A little darker circle about one-quarter inch diameter and just at the south rim of Edmonton is designated as "tornado-prone area." Camrose is nearly at the centre of this little circle. The peak area here is July, but of course, tornados can occur anytime. Most tornados follow a path from south west to north east. Most tornados occur in late afternoon or early evening. Watching, observing the skies unimpeded by the buildings, etc. (i.e, having a clean view of the horizon, as in open country)

Incentives needed to attract doctor By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee is asking for help. The committee is hoping to "sweeten the pot" so to speak in order to attract the services of Dr. Zahid Latif, a psychiatrist who has practiced in Camrose the last 17 years. Committee chair Dan Macpherson told the Camrose Chamber of Commerce last week that about $6,000 to $8,000 in incentives are needed to get Dr. Latif to choose Camrose over the cities of Fort McMurray and

Lethbridge, both of which have offered him three months' free usage of a residence and a vehicle. "For the first three months that Dr. Latif would be in the community, whether that is here or Lethbridge or Fort McMurray, he would be unable to bill for any of his time," explained Macpherson. The Camrose Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee toured Dr. Latif, along with his wife and four children throughout the community at the end of April, stopping at the hospital, clinics, recreation facilities, schools and shopping areas.

"He is very impressed with the city of Camrose," said Macpherson. "Camrose is at the top of his list." The presence of a psychiatrist in Camrose would take the pressure off Dr. Suna Smith, who retired a few years ago but is still working because of the difficulty in finding someone who is able to replace her. Anyone who can assist in providing the incentives is urged to contact Macpherson at the Camrose Canadian office, 6724421.

If these questions are left unanswered, becoming a consumer in the hearing aid industry can be a daunting task. Even if you are already familiar with hearing loss or hearing aids, this informational session can enhance your existing knowledge – and knowledge is power! There will be an afternoon event at 2:30 p.m., and again at 6:30 p.m., on May 26, at the Norsemen Inn. Coffee and tea willl be available. For more information, contact:

City council answers questions of students By Dan Jensen

City council fielded questions from students about recycling, public transit and what it is doing for young people during its May 2 committee of the whole meeting at Camrose Composite High School. Mayor Marshall Chalmers noted that the City of Camrose subsidizes the minor hockey program to make participation by young people more affordable. He said the Camrose Kodiaks pay $183 per hour for the use of the arena, significantly

more than what is paid by minor sports. Councillor Daryl Shillington asked students what they would like to see the City of Camrose doing for them, and encouraged them to email their suggestions. Councillor Max Lindstrand said council has a desire to protect the future and that the green action committee is working to protect the environment. He said the city's recycling initiatives are helping to extend the life of the landfill.

Councillor Ray McIsaac said the green action committee has been asked by council to review the compostable collection program and the $4.15 per month charge that goes with it. "We are working on ideas and we welcome any new ones," he said. Councillor John Howard said the issue a public transportation committee is studying is how to meet the needs of residents at an affordable price. "We need to find a way to

make it cost-efficient without raising taxes," he said. "We want to see if we can meet some of the more immediate needs before we move up to a full system." City manager Brian Hamblin told students the City of Camrose is in the process of hiring for the economic development department a new person who will be asked to work on an economic development strategy that will answer questions about what kind of community Camrose is or seeks to be.

"We want to know whether Camrose is a retirement community or a college town, because we have been referred to as both," said Hamblin. Mayor Chalmers said the desire of the strategy is to increase the capacity for job creation. Councillor Howard said one of the goals is to tie the economic development strategy to social development. "It is important that we give people the opportunity to make meaningful incomes," he said.

Grad 2011 quotes "High school can be rough on some kids and if you are one of those students we commend you for having the courage to persevere through it, and you know what, you made it, congratulations." – CCHS principal Jim Ofrim. "Wow Lord, did you see all those beautiful young ladies and handsome young men walk down the aisle? Well of course you did, you are everywhere. But more than that we know that you would not miss an opportunity to celebrate with young people like this. You are quick to respond to invitations to dinner parties and weddings and you loved hanging out with young people. In fact you said it was their kind of heart, unvarnished and trusting and searching that your kingdom is made of. So now, of course you would come to a grad ceremony." – Rev. Brian Krushel in his opening prayer. "As you celebrate your accomplishments and achievements, I also want to challenge you to continue to discover your own unique way of contributing to society. I encourage you to be bold, take risks, set goals, learn as you go and wherever the next chapters of your life take you I wish you all the best." – Dr. Larry Payne, Battle River School Division. "Sadly, one of, if not the greatest teachers to ever grace the halls of CCHS passed away this year. Errol Moen. Undeniably an influence to us all passed away early this school year. Mr. Moen set the bar for knowledge and leadership within both students and staff. He was respected beyond measure for the sheer amount of knowledge he brought to every class and was sincere and honest in providing us all with top notch educations. Mr. Moen’s legacy lives on in each one of us and he will never, ever be forgotten." – Patrick Michaud and Andrew Kelm in a tribute to the staff of CCHS.

The Rest is Still Unwritten theme of CCHS grad

Krystal Curry-Liang expresses her happiness after receiving her graduation certificate at the Camrose Composite High School graduation ceremony May 13. The theme of the 2011 graduation was "The Rest is Still Unwritten."

McAllister gives valedictory address Lisa McAllister gave this valedictorian address at the Camrose Composite High School graduation May 13. It is an honor to be standing here, representing the graduating class of 2011, as valedictorian. The scholastic, artistic and athletic achievements made by the graduates here today could not have been accomplished without the wisdom and guidance from our parents and guardians, friends, coaches and teachers. Their constant support and direction is what led us onto this path of success. All of us today have strived to reach this point in our lives. Graduation has been a goal we have set before ourselves from a young age to reach, but as we pass this stage many paths and choices reveal themselves to us. Within CCHS the unique passions and talents of each student has become apparent and increasingly more important as the

deadlines for deciding our futures approach. Whether choosing to enter the work force straight from high school, pursue a career in the trades, or to explore the options post-secondary education attains, the possibilities are endless. For most, we haven’t chosen our plan for the future, and even if we have it is subject to change as different desires and inspirations are introduced to our lives. However, through the stresses of exams, English essays, applying for universities and scholarships, maintaining the old friendships while still acquiring new ones, sports and music lessons, we have somehow managed to discover where our passions lie. Following these passions is what will decide where we end up in our future. I know some of the graduates in this building are destined for places holding possibilities other than what Camrose has to offer. These individuals will find themselves in countries

around the world travelling the landscapes and learning aspects of different cultures. Others will be the future doctors, physicians, dentists, and pharmacists of the world, following their passions of helping those in need. Some will be the environmentalists and researchers, discovering new energy sources and solving the environmental problems the world is facing today and others will be the architects and engineers, designing, building and creating the world we will live in. Thankfully, we have managed to survive the mistakes, failures and embarrassments while embracing the triumphs, knowledge and friendships of high school. The lessons we have learned and the growth we have experienced over the past three years has created a basis to build off of for wherever we end up in the future. Our class experienced a great lesson this year as we

learned of the fragility of life with the passing of Mr. Errol Moen. His sudden passing shook the entire school, especially the graduating class and emphasized the importance of choosing a path that leads to doing something you love, because you never know when the end is. This tragic event caused us to grow together as a class, school and community which I think would make Mr. Moen proud. What we learned is that life is fleeting; it’s up to you to make the most of it. With that, I encourage each one of the graduates here to continue exploring their aptitudes and interests, whether that is music, sports, science, mechanics, travel or art. These are the activities that bring happiness into our lives. Finally, I’d like to ask everyone to join me in congratulating the Graduating Class of 2011. One more month left and our years of high school are all over. Thank you very much everyone.

"Our children are our best investment. They are our best work, our best achievement, and they are our greatest reward. "As Dr. Seuss once wrote: you have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes, you can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You are on your own and you know what you know. You are the ones who will decide where to go." – Todd and Rhonda Markowsky in a response to the tribute to the parents by John Markowsky. Micki Malish and Karly Johnson-Renman performed a rap song at the graduation ceremony.

Grandpa O (Roger Ostrosky) was the guest speaker.

Covenant Health, St. Mary's accredited By Dan Jensen

Covenant Health has been granted another three years of accreditation. Covenant Health (which includes St. Mary's Hospital, Camrose) received a mark of 98.6 per cent from Accreditation Canada following the most recent survey November 28 to December 1. "All Covenant Health facilities, including St. Mary's Hospital, were vital to the accreditation process and in helping the organization achieve such a high rating," said Covenant Health vice president, quality, Jon Popowich, before presenting an accreditation certificate to Covenant Health St. Mary's executive director Cherylyn Antymniuk. The surveyors rated Covenant Health on sustainable governance, effective organization, infection prevention and control, hospice, palliative and end of life services, long term care services, managing medications and reprocessing and sterilization of reusable medical devices. "The surveyor's ratings for each service area ranged from 96 to 100 per cent, with reprocessing and sterilization of reusable devices receiving a perfect score," said . Top marks were also received for population focus (working with communities to meet needs), providing timely and equitable services, supporting wellness at work, putting clients and families first, and continuity of services. Services that will be evaluated next year are emergency department, critical care, women's health, emergency department and surgery. Services that will be evaluated in year three of accreditation are medicine and mental health. In relaying their findings to the Covenant Health board and the senior team, the surveyors described the Covenant Health team as a living embodiment of the mission, vision and values. They reported that they encountered a deep commitment to patients and residents and a

pervasive culture of quality and safety. Surveyors also commented on the strong strategic plan and evidence that team members understood the part they could play in helping the organization achieve its goals. Their summary highlighted Covenant Health's attention to quality, safety, ethics and strategic directions from the front line to the board room and the development of effective tools to support, recognize and engage staff and enhance culture. Covenant Health board chair John said the excellent report from Accreditation Canada in 2010 proves that Covenant Health has made great strides in forging a fresh new vision for Catholic health care in Alberta. "The surveyors told us that they saw evidence of our vision and strategic plan throughout the organization – from the way the board organized its work to the conversations with community partners, leaders and staff to the planning documents they reviewed. They found a living strategy, constantly fed and nurtured by the commitments to move toward our goals as an organization." Popowich said accreditation is important in that it shows that health care facilities like St. Mary's Hospital shows the community that they are meeting a national set of standards. He said all Covenant Health facilities provided a tremendous amount of evidence to the surveyors and did a lot of work leading up to the accreditation visit. While accreditation has always existed for health care facilities, it wasn't until 2008 that the Minister of Health made it mandatory. "It is a very important part of our accountability to the public, to the Minister of Health and Alberta Health Services as a partner," said Popowich.

From left to right, Covenant Health St. Mary's Camrose Nurse Manager Chrystal Ference, Anne Laskosky of the Ladies' Auxiliary, baby Autumn Steinke, dad Dave Steinke and Mary Berry of the Ladies' Auxiliary were on hand to see the new baby blanket warmer that was tested by Autumn. The Ladies' Auxiliary raised $6,500 for the blanket warmer by selling items in the gift shop and holding raffles and bake sales.

Palliative care volunteer Bernadine Bokenfohr of the Sisters of Providence, new spiritual care member Sandy Reynolds, and past spiritual care member Rev. Brian Hunter represent the spiritual care workers since the program was started in 1986. Sister Bokenfohr filled the position until 1999 when Rev. Hunter took over. He retired in 2010 and Reynolds is now in the position at Covenant Health St. Mary's Camrose. St Mary’s spiritual care continues the Sisters of Providence legacy of hope, courage, compassion, unwavering faith, belief in equality and dignity in the face of diversity. This is embraced in the mission of Covenant Health which calls us to create communities of healing and compassion where we care for the whole person – body, mind and soul.

Covenant Health St. Mary's Camrose new employees are, left to right, spiritual care member Sandy Reynolds, lean project coordinator Terry Qaqish, and volunteer coordinator Anna Radchenko. The Spiritual Care Chaplain provides multi-faith support for all people regardless of different religious or spiritual orientation or no faith background. Lean is a process improvement tool that is used to identify and remove waste while improving flow. The Volunteer Coordinator is developing and expanding the volunteer program in St. Mary’s Hospital.

Covenant Health vice president, quality, Jon Popowich presents an accreditation certificate to Covenant Health St. Mary's executive director Cherylyn Antymniuk.

Members of the group in the back row, from left to right, are Pat Lyseng, gift shop manager; Marlene Coultis, Marie Gallant, Gisele Soucy, Eileen Rhyason, gift shop treasurer; Audrey Heck, social committee; Lorraine Badry, phoning committee; and Emily Huber.

Sunrise Village celebrates official opening in Camrose By Dan Jensen

The province's newest Sunrise Village was officially opened in Camrose May 10. Managed by Continuum Health Care, Sunrise Village Camrose features 59 private supportive living units, as well as an 82-unit assisted living residence with rooms specially designed for those who need additional monitoring and safety. "We are absolutely thrilled with this building," said Continuum Health Care Holdings education and communications manager Stacey Dick. "We are thrilled to be able to continue to provide these wonderful services to seniors." Sunrise Villages' one- or twobedroom supportive living units have a mini-kitchenette, large walk-in shower, bedroom and living room with large windows. Supportive living amenity areas include an elegant dining room, large activity room, hair salon, tea room for private family dining, fireplace lounge, indoor mailboxes and outdoor courtyards. Services included in the monthto-month rental fee include three meals a day, weekly housekeeping, weekly linen service, 24-hour security and on-site emergency response, and a 24-hour health care aide on site. The two-storey assisted living residence is staffed with 24-hour health care aides and licenced practical nurses. The assisted living studio rooms are built around a central lounge, fireplace and intimate dining areas and kitchen, and have access to outdoor courtyards.

Pat Hovan

Former MLA LeRoy Johnson and first resident Blanche Schwab cut a ribbon to officially open Sunrise Village May 10.

Continuum Health Care president and CEO Pat Hovan expressed appreciation to everyone who helped bring Sunrise Village to completion, most notably the provincial government, which provided funding in the amount of $5.2 million through the rural affordable supportive living program and the affordable supportive living initiative. "We think this particular property, as with many of the others we have, is state-of-theart," said Hovan.

"There are numerous features that are unique to the building and bring a higher standard or quality of life to the individuals who will end up being accommodated." Former MLA LeRoy Johnson, bringing greetings at the opening on behalf of the provincial government, said the opening of Sunrise Village will meet an ongoing need in the province. "Alberta's population, as in the rest of the country, is aging. Today there are approximately

Stacey Dick

400,000 seniors in our province and over the next six years the number of seniors is expected to increase to over half a million." Johnson said the 82 affordable designated assisted living spaces will help address the growing and changing accommodation needs of seniors and persons with disabilities in Camrose and surrounding area. He added that new affordable accommodations, like those available at Sunrise Village, reflect the government's commit-

ment to address the changing needs of an aging population. "This is important as it strengthens our communities and keeps families and friends together, often in the very communities they have helped to build." Alberta Health Services' Debora Okrainetz, director of health services, central zone east, said increased supportive living in Camrose and surrounding area is a need that has been identified by the provincial government. "Continuum Health Care has stepped up to the plate and opened these doors for us. This facility will provide us options for aging in place for our families and friends, to remain in their own community, to provide care in our own community so that they can stay here." Okrainetz also commended Continuum Health Care for its hard work in ensuring the lines of communication with Alberta Health Services remained open. Sunrise Village resident Edith Gerber said residents receive quality care and have a variety of activities in which they can participate. She said residents can live their lives as they want and feel at home. "I am so glad that I am here." The mission statement for Continuum Health Care is to create caring communities for seniors. "I think we do that very well, not only in this building but in all our buildings," said Dick.

Kidney facts

Here are some facts about kidney disease. An estimated 2.6 million Canadians have kidney disease, or are at risk. There is a critical shortage of organ donors in Canada, resulting in long waiting periods and lives being lost. There are over 4,000 people waiting for organ transplants over 3,000 of which are awaiting kidneys. Only 14 out of every million people in Canada donate their organs. Unfortunately 250 people die each year waiting for a kidney.

Spring tuneup for body and mind By Dan Jensen

Kick-starting your body after a long winter of hibernation can sometimes be difficult. The more support and encouragement you can get the better it goes. The team at the Healthy Living Centre in Camrose will be providing that support when it presents a workshop entitled Spring Tuneup for Your Body and Mind at the Edgeworth Centre from 7 to 9 p.m., May 26. "When we think of the spring sometimes the first thing that comes to mind is cleaning our houses, but we also need to look at our lifestyles," said Anita Eggink, registered dietitian at the Healthy Living Centre. "This workshop will give people some of the tools they need to start a healthier lifestyle, not only for the summer but for the rest of the year." The workshop will be broken into several different parts. The first, Change Your Life, Not Just Your Diet , will provide simple steps that can be taken to eat healthier for the rest of your life.

"Diets don't work," said Eggink. "Statistics show that 95 per cent of diets will fail to keep the weight off for five years. Worse, the majority of dieters will gain back more weight than they originally lost." Move It or Lose It will show the importance of physical activity and provide some creative ways to incorporate it into your day. Kinesiologist Nadine MacMillan will explain what being physically active really means, how much is enough, and how to get started. "Sometimes people feel that they have to run a marathon to be healthy but that isn't the case," said Eggink. "You can actually build exercise into your day to day life a little bit here and there. It all adds up to give you the desired benefit that you want from activity." Save Your Soles: Put Your Best Foot Forward this Spring , will touch on the importance of having an appropriate walking shoe for exercise. Occupational therapist Cathy Whittle will

teach some basics about our feet and foot types, as well as provide advice on how to choose comfortable, supportive footwear that will help you put your best foot forward. "Sometimes people can suffer injury if they don't have the right footwear," said Eggink. The last session of the evening will be entitled What Does Ideal Wellness Look to You? Certified Wellness Coach Peggy Snydmiller will show how to overcome the challenges of making changes, whether it be taking the stairs instead of the elevator, eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and drinking at least eight glasses of water a day. While the workshop is completely free of charge, the Healthy Living Centre is asking that people register ahead of time so that it knows how many resources are required. "There has already been some pretty good interest shown as a result of advertising and word of mouth," said Eggink.

Professional advisors' luncheon helps fund grow By Murray Green

Planning ahead has made the Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) a success. The Professional Advisors of the BRCF were recognized for their donations to the Administration Endowment Fund at a special luncheon. Board member David Ofrim said building the Administration Endowment Fund is very important for maintaining the other funds because it pays for such things as letterheads and stamps. "The income generated helps cover the costs of operations and allows the Foundation to keep fees low for the other funds. Our long term dream is to have enough invested that we wouldn't need to charge any fee for other funds." Each individual or business that donated $500 at the luncheon received a great big burger and the satisfaction of helping the BRCF grow to help hundreds of people in the future. The luncheon at the Camrose Railway Station and Museum on May 11 raised another $12,600 for the endowment fund. "It is our goal to establish an endowment, the interest or earnings from which will totally support our administrative budget so that all of our fund-raising efforts can be devoted to the community service account," said BRCF chair Blain Fowler. "At the close of business in 2010, through your generosity and the generosity of others, we had $615,318 in our Administrative Endowment Fund. Today, you have added another $12,600 to the fund, bringing the total

raised by this event, over its 10year history, to nearly $125,000." Businesses and individuals that have been faithful supporters since the project was launched were recognized. They include Battle River Credit Union, Camrose Insurance Services, Sun Life Financial, Fielding and Company, Harberg Nikiforuk Wood,

community-minded people such as yourselves, top up the capital to preserve purchasing power and pass on the balance in accordance with donors' wishes to meet the emerging needs of the Battle River community." The BRCF fund met its fiveyear goal of having $5 million in endowments by the end of 2009.

After re-setting the target to have $10 million in the pot by 2014, the news was good. "I am thrilled to report that at the close of business on December 31, 2010, our endowments totalled $6,105,000. This places us slightly ahead of schedule on the way to our objective," said Blain. "The very presence of the professional advisors indicates that they have bought into the vision of the Battle River Community Foundation and what it means to the entire community," he continued. "Research has shown that community foundations typically take 10 to 15 years to reach $5 million in assets, but the next phase, growth to $25 million, happens quickly," added Blain. "This happens as a result of planned giving, triggered by the groundwork being done previously by professional advisors. You are the key to really putting our show on the road." He went on to congratulate everyone for being a part of something that will truly make a difference in our community forever. Members of the BRCF Board are Chair Blain Fowler, Vicechair Vivianne Grue, Secretary Dana Andreassen, Treasurer James Mayer, Directors Corey Kudrowich, Clarence Mastel, David Ofrim, By Ressor, Wayne Throndson, Past Chair Ken Drever, Executive Director Kerry Grettum and Administrative Assistant Phyllis Robertson. An open house and public meeting for the BRCF will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1, at the Norsemen Inn.

Good things come from collaboration, says Epp By Dan Jensen

Camrose, Camrose County, the Battle River School Division, the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta and the community have only started to imagine the kinds of things that can happen through collaboration, says Augustana dean Dr. Roger Epp. Speaking at Augustana's spring soirée April 26, Epp said Augustana has been able to build many strong relationships and entangle itself in the life of the community. "It is important to enlist public support from this region for what we do." Dr. Epp said Augustana has arrived at its centennial year both grounded and extremely proud and optimistic about the future and what it can do. He added that Augustana has achieved a fairly distinctive place within the University of Alberta. "Carl Amrhein said it is important that this place not be a pale imitation of what happens in Edmonton, that it has to stand on its own integrity. "I hope that is what we are doing and I think we are." Epp described the new library and forum as buildings for the new century. "We continue to find ways to make ourselves at home in this new building and it is a part of who we are," he said. "The architect succeeded with everything he set out to do

Epp suggested Camrose and area should exploit the fact that Camrose is one of just four cities in Alberta that has a university. "Make that work for you and have us think about how we can make that work together." University of Alberta board of governors chair Brian Heidecker said that, since 2004, with Augustana in the family, the U of A has been able to offer students the best of two forms of post secondary education: the advantages of a small, intimate liberal arts experience as well as the advantages of a broad, diverse research environment. Together, he said, the UniverRoger EppBrian Heidecker sity of Alberta and Augustana can offer opportunities few othin building a signature building en approval to offer a combined er Canadian institutions can five-year Bachelor of Science/ here." match.

and the U of A also continued to build strong ties with our aboriginal communities this year by hosting the annual round dance, which attracted 1,000 participants and 60 singers and drummers." Heidecker said the momentum is growing because Augustana's students and researchers have access to programs and resources that are often unavailable on small rural campuses. At the same time, he noted that, as a strong member of the U of A family, Augustana is able to retain the sharp rural focus that this community and its young people need for the future.

Brent Byers places second in Wipeout TV series

SPECIAL SIONS A C C O

Together with their parents, Leah Hunter and Joshua Gialet are pleased to announce their marriage to take place Saturday, August 20, 2011 at the Gialet farm

By Murray Green

Watching a television show on an airplane turned out to be a wild ride for Camrose cowboy Brent Byers. Over a year ago, Brent went to the west coast to visit his brother and on the plane he watched a television show called Wipeout. "Every since I watched it, I became hooked on it. It was the funniest program where people were competing against other people and a machine that would try and knock them off into the water." After watching it for several months a call went out for Canadians to apply to be on the show. "I went online and went through the application process that took two and a half hours and was 27 pages long," said Brent. "I also sent in a video clip. This was about mid-March of last year." Brent didn't hear anything for a few months and then in June he was asked to go to Calgary for an audition. "I was about to head to Vancouver to visit my brother again, so I asked to audition in Vancouver instead. I also had to go through some medical testing. The thing that was the hardest, was the fact I couldn't tell anyone what I was doing." About 46,000 Canadians from coast to coast applied for the 260 positions. The show had 13 episodes with 20 contestants each. "It was an East vs. West competition with 10 on each side." Brent survived the tryout on Vancouver Island and entered to win the $50,000 prize in Argentina. "Out of the 20 that started, the top 12 advanced to the next round. It was hard because a huge arm would try to knock you off as you jumped to each station." He advanced to the top six and then the final four. Then it was the final between two contestants. "I went first, had a time of 1:53 minutes. It was a good time. However, the eastern competitor from Newfoundland gambled in the final because he had nothing to lose. It paid off because he beat my time by 27 seconds." To Brent, a bull rider, finishing second meant not getting a pay day. "I did it to see if I could survive the course and it was a lot of fun. It wasn't for the money. It was a great chance to meet people." Brent said he would go through all of the hard work again. "We filmed a week in Argentina. We went from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on the last day it was from 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. It was totally exhausting. It didn't hit me until I came home on the 20-hour plane ride." He did see a few sights and took a boat tour to Uruguay. "The people I met on the show were great. I really liked Argentina, too, because they eat a lot of beef down there. I would like to go back and see some things I missed. I could relax there and eat beef and it would feel like home." The Wipeout show on Tvtropolis airs on Sunday evenings.

CHILD BIRTH AT ITS BEST! By Kerry Tuschhoff and Trisha Fuller Mention Labor and Delivery to an expectant mom in her last trimester, and chances are good that her heart will begin to race, her mind ﬂ oods with concern and in some cases, panic. She knows that the day is coming when a force much bigger than herself will take over and her body will govern itself completely. For some women this is a very fearful event, but for a Hypnobabies mom, it is an eagerly anticipated challenge. These wise women use hypnosis to eliminate pain and fear from the birthing experience. In the past, the word “hypnosis” conjured up images of stage hypnotists re-creating Elvis, or mesmerizing others into embarrassing situations. Now it is common for hypnosis to be used therapeutically in many areas of medicine, dental and surgical anaesthesia and personal therapy sessions. Even so, there are many misconceptions regarding hypnosis that can dissuade those contemplating this powerful tool. Here are a few FACTS: * All hypnosis is self-hypnosis; the hypnotherapist is only the guide. A person chooses to enter into a hypnotic state, stay in and come out at will.

Orest and Leanne Chromik and Mark and Faye Yuha are proud to announce the forthcoming marriage of their children,

* Approximately 90-95% of the population can be hypnotized. Willingness, belief and motivation have great inﬂ uence over hypnotizability. * During hypnosis you are neither asleep nor unconscious, and will always “come out” whenever you wish. You are always in complete control.

Dennel and Kevin on July 23, 2011

* Stronger-minded and stronger-willed people are easier to hypnotize; not the other way around as is usually assumed.

Tyler Chittick of Mayerthorpe got down on one knee and asked Sara Walkey of Ferintosh to marry him and she said, “Stay there, I need to take a picture!” And then of course, “YES!” The engagement took place on April 9th, 2011 in Jasper and the couple is very excited to begin planning their lives together. JONAH HENRY LENTZ born February 22, 2011 9 lb. 2-1/2 oz. • 20-1/2” long to Philip and Carrie Lentz and big brother Jaxon of Chestermere, AB

* You cannot be made to divulge information or do anything against your will while in hypnosis. * Hypnosis is not Satanic or religion-oriented at all, just a way to direct your inner mind toward the positive for great personal beneﬁ t. * We are all in states of hypnosis many times a day already! Hypnobabies supports the belief that childbirth is a natural event; that birth can be an easy and natural process, enhanced by an intimate journey of self discovery , of ﬁ nding a deep trust in the process of birth and learning that women’s bodies instinctively know how to give birth. Expecting mothers are empowered with skills which allow them to eliminate rather than just “cope” with challenges and any discomforts that may be present during pregnancy and childbirth. Hypnobabies mothers are able to remain in control of their birthing bodies by creating a mental toolbox that has powerful

and effective post-hypnotic suggestions, and physical relaxation cues to deeply relax and produce hypno-anaesthesia for a safe and enjoyable birth experience. Unlike most childbirth education programs where the focus is entirely on the expecting mother, in the Hypnobabies program if the mother has a birth partner, he/she plays an integral role. Hypnobabies thoroughly equips birth partners with tools and skills they need to be confi dent and supportive of the birthing mother as she experiences one of life’s most anticipated and exciting experiencesCHILDBIRTH! Our objective is helping couples overcome a lifetime of negative programming about childbirth, so they can give birth to their babies without drugs, confi dently, safely¸ and in comfort, by using self hypnosis pain elimination skills. Hypnobabies teaches the same medical hypnosis techniques used by people who undergo surgery with hypnosis as their only anaesthetic. This is “Eyes Open” childbirth hypnosis, which means that mothers are awake and aware, and can move around freely, still very relaxed, still very deeply in hypnosis, and still completely comfortable while giving birth. Hypnobabies childbirth hypnosis classes include complete preparation for childbirth as well. Couples learn the stages of birth, comfort in pregnancy, prenatal nutrition and exercises, and they learn about staying healthy and low risk. We inform couples about consumer issues and their options for birthing, and they create a plan for their birth preferences. Hypnobabies couples participate in practice sessions together, and enjoy bonding with their babies before they are even born. Unique to Hypnobabies is the thorough preparation of our birth partners, who receive their own relaxing hypnosis CD and detailed “Birth Partner’s Guide”. Also included in the course is a Hypnobabies workbook, 8 hypnosis CD’s, new Mom care book, fetal positioning and birth ball information and invaluable techniques to relieve back labor. One of the most helpful aspects of Hypnobabies classes is our Fear Clearing Sessions for both Mom and Dad! This Hypnobabies program is new to Alberta. I am the fi rst Hypnobabies Instructor and will be offering this prenatal education program in central Alberta. Courses are once a week for six weeks. In Camrose May 29- July 3, Stettler July 13-Aug 17 and Red Deer Oct 1- Nov 5. Space is limited in each class session to provide a special bonding experience between the expecting parents and myself. To fi nd out more information about this highly successful program and to hear some of the amazing birth stories please go to www.happyhypnobabies. ca or www.hypnobabies.com . You may also contact Trisha Fuller at 780-583-2188 or happyhypnobabies@live.ca and Enjoy Your Baby’s Birth in Comfort, Joy and Love!

Proud grandparents are Norman and Barbara Lentz of Camrose and Lynne Ring of Red Deer

Together with their parents, Anna Coen and Denzil Paterson joyfully announce their marriage. Please join us in celebration on May 28, 2011 at 8:30 p.m. for an open house and dance at the Ferintosh Rec Centre.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER May 17, 2011

Foreman focuses on returning to track provincials By Murray Green Connor Foreman earned a silver medal in the junior boys' shot putt event at the high school track and field provincials in Medicine Hat last year. This year, the Camrose Composite High School athlete wants to do his best in the inter-

mediate class and is training with teacher Angie Banack. "I'm continuing to train with Mrs. Banack. She is fantastic. In practice, we work on technique to throw it farther. We work on it after school and I do whatever she tells me to do to improve. Shot putt is not too serious and it is a good time."

An ankle injury limited the number of events he was in as a junior. "Last year I wanted to try out for shot putt, javelin and high jump, but I hurt my ankle a couple of days before so I just entered shot putt. This year, I am in shot putt only and I don't really miss the other two events."

Connor said he hasn't measured his distance prior to the city/county meet at CCHA on May 11, but knows he has to throw farther than last year. "In juniors, I was throwing about 12.6. I looked at the distances from the winner of the intermediates last year and he was

throwing about 13.4. I haven't looked at distance yet, I'm just focusing on technique right now." On May 18, Camrose will be hosting the regional track and field competition. The top athletes from there advance to the zones in Red Deer on May 25.

Former Trojans' football players make Team North By Murray Green

Three former Camrose Composite High School Trojans' football players were named to play for the Football Alberta “North” Senior Bowl team. Former CCHS player Tylor Henry made the squad as a receiver. Colton Cardinal of Camrose is on the defensive line and former Trojans' special teams player Jonathan Heidebrecht will serve as the place kicker and punter. The game could lead to future football options. "This game means a lot to me because it means more exposure to college and junior teams," said Jonathan. "It gives me more opportunities to continue in post secondary or it may help with scholarships." Tylor hopes to see game experience as a returner, as well as at wide receiver. "It is nice to be recognized for your hard work in the off-season," he said. "It is one last game at the high school level before we move onto bigger and better things. I signed to go to the University of Alberta, but I haven't decided if I want to play there or play a year of junior first." Colton wants to make an impact on the defensive line. "Some of these players have been playing for eight years and I only have three years of experience. All of the work I put in (to catch up) is paying off now and I might have a chance to go with it somewhere. It is definitely a great thing." The players credited the high school with giving them a chance to play and reach this level. "Having the opportunity to play a regular position and kicker has helped me gain strength in my leg," shared Jonathan. "I learned a lot this year. You learn to persevere and play as a team." Tylor echoed his view on the team concept. "In football, high school and in minor football, you

CCHS coach Adam Belanger and former Camrose Composite High School Trojans' football players Jonathan Heidebrecht, Tylor Henry and Colton Cardinal will represent Camrose and Team North in Calgary to compete in the 22nd Football Alberta Senior Bowl agains t the South team on Monday, May 23, at noon in McMahon Stadium.

learn to play as a team. You learn the value of everyone contributing. Everyone is just like a brother and you have to play as a team to have success. We all have abilities, but the coaches have taught us to work together." Colton didn't know what to expect in football. "I wasn't sure what sport to play. I definitely gained a love for the game, made some friends, had some good coaching and had fun doing it." Players from northern and central Alberta went through tryouts at Clarke Park in Edmonton, April 8 to 10. More than 200 grad-

uating Grade 12 athletes tried for the northern squad. With just one game on the line, the players want to soak up as much information and knowledge as they can to take to the next level. "That weekend is about learning and appreciating the fact we were able to play at that level," said Jonathan. Tylor added, "It is about learning. Everyone has different experiences and has had different coaches, so you can take a little something from those around you." Colton said he is looking forward to hearing from other coach-

es because they all have a different style and knowledge. "Great players make everyone else better. It will be interesting to see how we can improve our game or how we can help others," added Jonathan. The team now goes to Calgary to compete in the 22nd Football Alberta Senior Bowl against the “South” team, with the game scheduled for Monday, May 23, at noon at McMahon Stadium. Both teams have 10 wins and one game was left as a tie. CCHS coach Adam Belanger said, "With three former players from CCHS going to the game, it

shows just how good a program we have here in Camrose. It means a lot to me and it has been good to watch the progression the players have made in their skill level. It gives me pride, knowing we have players that can play the game beyond the high school level. Losing them will be hard, but we continue to have good players coming up and I expect a good team again next year." Coach Adam said as many as 11 players will be trying out for football teams outside of the high school level. That says a lot about the local system. CCHS will have a summer camp on Aug. 16 for the fall team.

Petiot enjoys time in Edmonton Oilers' organization By Murray Green

Richard Petiot grew up watching the Edmonton Oilers so he was thrilled when he had the opportunity to play for his favourite team. "My dad drove a big Greyhound bus so he would take people from Daysland to Edmonton for hockey games. Sometimes I went along and watched games ever since I was little," said the former Camrose Kodiaks' defenceman. "I would like another chance to play for the Oilers, but I'm a free agent this year and I have to see what offers come in." Richard was in Camrose for the RBC Cup and offered words of advice for young players during a hot stove session at the awards banquet. "None of this (playing in the National Hockey League) would have been possible if I didn't get a chance to play for the Kodiaks. I learned a lot playing in Camrose and the experience of playing in a RBC Cup was a great time in my life." He played a few games for the Oilers

this season, but played a good part of the season for their farm team in Oklahoma City. "I attended training camp last fall and it was unreal. It was great for my family and friends to watch and take in a few exhibition games. It was a dream come true." Richard played for the Los Angles Kings and Tampa Bay Lightning before receiving an Edmonton jersey. "Obviously, my first game in the NHL with Los Angeles was pretty cool. I still remember it like it was yesterday. My brother and brotherin-law came out for that so it was a great experience. It was a little nerve-racking. I remember my first shift, it was fun. Tampa was a good experience as well. I had a blast and played a lot. They have a great group of guys like Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier. They were awesome." When he had the opportunity to go back home again, he seized the opportunity. "I enjoyed every minute of being an

Oiler. Having your family and friends cheering you on is a great feeling." Throughout Richard's career he has played hard in the minors to get another shot at playing in the NHL. "You have to fight through it and keep working hard. You have to do what you can do. Sometimes it is frustrating because things are out of your hands. It is hard being sent down, but it is very exciting to be called up," Richard explained. "You try and keep an even keel and work as hard as you can." He had a good season with the expansion Oklahoma City Barons. "It was a lot of fun there. We started slow but the fans got into it more with each game. The weather was unbelievable and my wife liked it. We had a good team, but fell short in the playoffs. We ran into penalty trouble and a hot goalie. Things are looking good for the franchise in Oklahoma in the future." While his agent searches for a place for him to play next season, Richard will be hitting the gym hard and working with

a skating coach to be ready for the call. "I want to get bigger, stronger and faster before the start of training camp." He said suiting up for the Kodiaks was a huge stepping stone for his hockey career. "I was a late bloomer. Coming to Camrose gave me a chance to play with a great group of guys as well as development my skills. It gave me a chance to receive a scholarship and get drafted. I don't think I would be where I am without playing in Camrose. It was a great experience and I will always cherish that. It was a big thrill to play in the RBC Cup. Camrose has put on a good show here." Richard had a good year with his plus-minus statistics to go with his 15 assists and he hopes teams will notice that, especially the Oilers. Last year he set career highs with eight goals and 37 points with the Rockford IceHogs, the Chicago Blackhawks' farm team.

Dodge Journey Making a good thing even better By Dan Jensen A good thing has been made even better. The 2011 Dodge Journey, available at Camrose Chrysler, has been given a major overhaul with a completely redesigned and retuned suspension, a new V-6 engine, and a gorgeous new interior. It also features the latest and greatest in vehicle connectivity and customization. Nimble and composed The 2011 Dodge Journey is nimble, composed, and handles well in all driving and road conditions. Chrysler Group engineers improved routine ride and handling by re-engineering the suspension geometry, adding new, improved premium tires and redesigning the steering for a more precise and coordinated response. Overall, customers will be treated to an energetic, fun-to-drive experience behind the wheel. In addition, at 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, the 2011 Dodge Journey – equipped with the new 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 engine – delivers a 20 per cent boost in power compared with the V6 engine it replaces. It is mated to a smooth-shifting six-speed transmission. Estimated fuel ratings are 7.8 litres per 100 km on the highway. The 2.4 litre World Engine features dual VVT and provides a strong balance of fuel economy and solid performance with 173 horsepower. The estimated fuel economy is 7.5 litres per 100 km on the highway. Drivers will also be treated to a smooth, quiet ride. Engineers reduced noise, vibration and harshness by installing new, premium sound-deadening treatments and insulation throughout the vehicle. Interior Journey's new interior features world-class levels of craftsmanship and comfort. A beautifully crafted one-piece instrument panel sets the tone. A new, larger cluster with standard Electronic Vehicle Information Centre is positioned in the centre of the new gauges. It's a full-colour display backlit in Dodge red lights, giving it a soft glow unlike any in the segment. New, integrated centre stack bezels are less angular and more sculpted, and designers softened the radius to make more room for the driver's knees. The heating and cooling outlets are also redesigned to make them better looking and better functioning. The centre console gets a lot of extra cushion on the tilt-and-slide armrest. Lift the lid and there's a larger centre storage bin with a 12-volt outlet and USB port where owners can hook up their MP3/iPod charging connections and hide them away. The design team also worked to make the Journey's interior more comfortable. They moved the

shifter and cup holders, making it easier for drivers and passengers to get their coffee and soda without having to lean over and under the dash. There's also a larger storage bin with side nets. The new multi-functioning, three-spoke Dodge brand steering wheel with integrated controls and a wider, longer, soft-touch armrest transforms the driver's seat into a cockpit-like experience. Comfortable new seats might just make drivers want to take the long way home just to get a little extra seat time. The standard 60/40 split-folding and reclining second-row seat offers spacious comfort while its flexibility easily accommodates large loads. The optional 50/50 split-folding third row ensures no one gets left behind. The Dodge Journey offers six new interior colour and trims to complete the makeover.

From navigation to voice-command music selections, to the ability to check fuel prices, the all-new Uconnect Touch media centre makes life in the new 2011 Dodge Journey an excellent adventure for the driver and passengers.

Bailey Theatre stages opening celebration By Murray Green

It will be a glamorous night of celebration. The Bailey Theatre will hold its grand opening on May 21 to honour the years of hard work to restore the Main Street business. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. and will feature four main acts. The acts include the eclectic whimsy of the Stringbeans Quartet, traditional African drumming and dance by Isokan Afrika, music and comedy with Martin Janovsky and a teen improv session called Spontaneous Sputterings. "The Stringbeans Quartet will open the show and it includes a cello and violin along with two male and two female singers. The African drummers should be a very interesting and entertaining act," theatre manager Tracey Clark explained. "Martin Janovsky is a Czech comedy pianist. I'm told he is very entertaining and he will close the show. I'm not sure where the About Time Productions' crew will be placed yet. The three shows will be about a half hour each, while the local theatre group will be about 10 to 15 minutes. We want to showcase the various things the theatre can do." During breaks between shows a projection of a film made of the tribute to the Frank MacInnis family will be screened. A light show with music will take place prior to the first show to showcase the range of the theatre. There will be an intermission and the bar will be set up in the bistro, along with portable carts. "We will be dedicating the main auditorium to the Frank MacInnis family and unveil a plaque," said Tracey. "We will also acknowledge some of the other large donors." Doors open at 7 p.m. The box office will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on week days for ticket purchases to the celebration. Tickets are $25 each. To book events, volunteer, or for more information, contact manager Tracey Clark at 780-6725510.

The content has been reviewed by a panel of Alberta physicians and other health providers to ensure the information is accurate and relevant. Work is already underway on the next phase of MyHealthAlberta. When completed next year, it will provide secure log-in for individuals who want to track their own personal health data such as blood pressure readings, insulin levels, weight, immunizations, and much more. When the initiative is complete in 2015, MyHealthAlberta will provide individual access to Alberta’s electronic health record system, a first for Canada. Vid-

The new Alberta Wait Times Reporting website was also launched. The website shows wait time information on surgical procedures and diagnostic tests including MRI scans, cancer services and hip and knee replacement surgeries as reported by Alberta specialists and facilities. The site allows Albertans to search wait times by procedure, by specialist and by facility and will also show wait time trends over the most recent 13-month period for many procedures. Information on the Alberta

Wait Times Reporting website is compiled by Alberta Health and Wellness from data submitted by the province’s urban and rural hospitals and diagnostic clinics. Albertans interested in viewing the latest wait times for surgical and diagnostic procedures can find them at waittimes.alberta.ca.

On the road … Show and Shine moves off Main Street location By Murray Green

The show will go on. However, the Camrose Show and Shine will be held on 51 Street this year to avoid a disruption of downtown business. The weekend begins with a timed burnout event that will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on May 27. Anyone may test how his or her vehicle will perform. "On Friday night it is for the people who don't want to race competitively. It is a 100-footer for people to see what their vehicle can do," said organizer Ken Mah. "That can be cars, trucks or motorcycles, it doesn't really matter. They will be given a time slip and they can go as many times as they want." The autocross course has been moved from Friday night to Saturday at the CRE. "The autocross is basically a pylon course to test your driving skills," explained Ken. "You go as fast as you can without knocking over the pylons." At the same time, the show and shine takes place downtown. "We are on 51st Street this year, which is a big change. It will start at the Battle River Credit Union and go all the way down to the Catholic church. The City Centre Camrose wanted us to move to a side street because some businesses said it interfered with people trying to do their regular business. Our solution was to move it to Sunday or go to a side street. The 51st Street location is good because the two banks are closed on Saturday anyway. People can still do their shopping." The show and shine registration is from 9 a.m. to noon. The actual show is from 1 to 5 p.m. However, the cars will be lining up early so people can start viewing the vehicles by about 11 a.m. "Trophies will be handed out in the 4 p.m. range." After the show and shine

downtown, a cruise on Main Street will begin at 6 p.m. on May 28. The vehicles will be cruising the city for between two and three hours. "We brought back the same movies we had last year. Since we were snowed out, we only had nine cars show up, we decided to bring back the Love Bug and The Attack of the 55-foot Woman." The show will be held at the east end of the Max McLean Arena and vehicles must have an FM radio to listen to the audio. "The reason we are at the arena is because we can shut the lights out. The movies are free because we have sponsors for them, so that part is nice." On Saturday, a portable Dyno machine will be set up at the Liquidation World parking lot. "It tests the true horsepower a vehicle produces. This is usually only offered in Edmonton and costs about $120. The cost here will be $80. That is a good deal because it saves driving and money." On Sunday, the competition heats up at the CRE with a full day of timed racing. "The big news is that we are moving the racing to the back of the CRE," said Ken. "It is better for the crowds and better for the racing because of the track. It is easier for handicapped people because they can bring their vehicles closer and don't have to wheel through the gravel a lot." The registration for racing is from 9 a.m. to noon with racing to go from 1 to about 5 p.m. The burnout competition will be at the end. For the first time since the event started in the late '80s, a rain-out date has been set. "Hopefully we don't have snow again. The rain-out date will be on July 16. The racing portion will not take place. Basically, what happens on Saturday will be held, except the autocross."

Tee Pee Trade & RV Centre Ltd. is proud to announce its afﬁliation with…

Plymouth Fury 1958 Howard Hildebrandt purchased his rare 1958 Plymouth Fury in New Hampshire back in 1993. He completely restored the car to its grandeur. The car is one of five built with the exact features. Some of those include two four barrel carburetors, a rare 350 Chrysler engine, power windows and steering and a rear defogger. Howard's family ran a gas station so he was always intrigued with some of the first muscle cars in the '50s. Stylewise, the 1958 Plymouth Fury was a repeat of the 1957, except for the newly legalized quad headlamps, a tube grille with matching under-bumper stone shield, and smaller "lollipop" taillights. Base price rose to $3,067.

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

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

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

Be Honest Exaggerating your item’s 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.

Boomtown Trail characters Metis leader Gabriel Dumont, Mrs. Eugene Bashaw and pioneer Mary Alice Presant are just three of the eight Boomtown Trail characters that met with Alberta’s rural caucus at the Alberta Legislative Assembly on May 9. The Boomtown characters entertained rural MLAs with stories over lunch before being introduced at the afternoon assembly. Justice Minister Verlyn Olson, Tourism Minister Cindy Ady, Transportation Minister Luke Ouellette and Lacombe-Ponoka MLA Mr. Raymond Prins were among the dignitaries who met with the Boomtown characters to share ideas for promoting tourism in Alberta. “The characters tell the stories behind the history that often go unnoticed,” said Boomtown Trail CEO Ken Duncan. “By working together with government and our communities, we are helping to preserve our history in a way that’s entertaining and relevant for future generations.” The Boomtown Trail Living History Project brings local, cultural stories to life with local residents portraying historical characters at museums, events and attractions throughout the Boomtown Trail. Boomtown Trail living history characters blur the distinction between past and present by immersing the audience in another time.

Booths selling fast for 54th Jaywalkers' Jamboree By Dan Jensen

Booths are selling fast for the 54th annual Jaywalkers' Jamboree June 3 and 4. "We only have about 12 booths left," said Chamber of Commerce past president Jason Heise at the Chamber's May 11 luncheon. The Chamber of Commerce is also selling Jaywalkers' Jamboree wrist bands that will entitle the wearer to go on all the rides he or she can stand. The bands may be purchased for $30 in advance and $35 at the Jamboree. "I would get them in advance and save the five bucks because that will probably get you a burger and a pop and some chips," said Heise. McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC will again be conducting a pancake breakfast both days of the Jamboree, while the Camrose Booster and Hauser Home Hardware Building Cen-

tre will be returning with the Bowl for the Green competition. The 4-H Crazy Critters will be set up near the Camrose United Church. Two new attractions will be a Drop of Doom and Monster Trucks.

A third Networking Breakfast will be held at the Canadian Brewhouse from 7:30 to 9:00 June 29.

Bawlf Fire Department looking for new chief By Murray Green

The search is on for a new fire chief for Bawlf. Ron Blatz retired from the Bawlf Fire Department, leaving volunteers in charge of the fire-fighting brigade. A number of volunteer positions also remain vacant. "We need someone to make sure the equipment is ready to fight fires, perform some administrative duties and ensure volunteers are trained or they have enough personnel," said assistant county administrator Al Radke at the regular Camrose County meeting on May 10. "It was reported last month that the chief retired and one of his duties is to seek volunteers." The County learned of the vacant position from newspaper reports. "Right now we are without a chief and some volunteer members. This may put our ratepayers at a disadvantage," added Al. "Therefore, my recommendation is to start the process of finding a replacement so we can get up to speed on volunteer members." Councillor Glen Nelson wanted immediate action. "I move that the Village of Bawlf council and Camrose County take action on the fire chief replacement so the safety and protection of county ratepayers can be ensured." The motion was carried and the search process for a new fire chief in Bawlf has commenced.

By Murray Green

The Camrose Composite High School sent two athletes to the badminton provincials. Both came home with medals. Alyssa Clarkson won the intermediate girls' singles division at zones to advance, while Brent Brookes placed second in the intermediate boys' singles at the zone playoffs on April 30. Alyssa garnered the provincial crown, while Brent captured silver again. CCHS started off with 45 badminton players in the citycounty tournament. Then 22 advanced to the area tournament and all 22 moved on to zones. "We had a good year. A total of 15 players received medals out of the 22," said coach Cheryl Clarkson, prior to provincials. "Only the top team in doubles goes on to provincials, whereas in singles the top two move on. Both Brent and Alyssa went to provincials last year, so we hope they do well." Last year she came in second and he was fourth at provincials. "I hope so," said Alyssa, when asked about improving her record and going for the gold. "Last year, I lost to the girl that I beat in zones. This year she is not playing, she lost in doubles. So I could have a shot at it this time." The boys' singles will be tough again this year. "I want to go and have fun," said Brent, who might not be taking the event as seriously. "The guy I beat in zones, I lost to in the crossover. I will be in against tough opponents." The provincials were in Strathmore on May 6 and 7. Each tournament has better opposition. "It starts getting tougher at zones," said Brent. "That is because you

day, June 7, and Thursday, June 9. "We are looking forward to another successful year," said Chamber train committee member Tom Chelmick. The train has been entered in the St. Albert Rainmaker Rodeo parade on May 29, as well as the Calgary Stampede, Ponoka Stampede and Capital X parades in July. It placed second in the best float category at the Leduc Black Gold parade in Leduc May 1. "It was the first time we have won a prize at any of the parades that we have entered," said Chelmick.

Kushnerick song reaches number 44 on CGC chart By Dan Jensen

are up against players who are in clubs and play all year. We are involved in so many other sports here," added Alyssa. Brent said that the secret is to play your game and play as well as you can. "The court seems to shrink when you play a better player. "They have so many moves and a good drop shot." "We have a shorter time to practice. We work on a lot of things, especially dropping shots into the corners," said Alyssa. "I don't have one of those," added Brent. Alyssa is currently playing soccer, basketball and track, as well as badminton. Brent is in track and tennis and has to

switch modes about two days after badminton. At the zone badminton tournament, Linda Voravong placed third in the senior girls' singles. The junior girls' doubles team of Christie Pilger and Lindsay Volk collected silver medals and the duo of Jesalyn Clarkson and Kayla Wenig placed third. In intermediate girls' doubles, Emily Zimmer and Hallee Peter earned bronze medals. In intermediate boys' doubles Denton Wilson and Logan Ottas also came in third. In junior boys' doubles, Craig Lynes and Devon Gerun earned third and the duo of Ryan Huolt and Matt Sharkey placed third in the senior boys' doubles event.

Camrose gospel music songwriter Martin Kushnerick was thrilled when he saw the Country Gospel Connection's Top 100 chart for April. Listed at number 44 was his song, Saved by the Cross. "It has come up quite a bit," said Kushnerick. "It was ranked at number 73 shortly after it was released in the first week of January, but dropped to number 94 in February." The song, like all the songs Kushnerick writes, is performed by Barbara Lee, from Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan. "I write them and she sings them," said Kushnerick. In the ten years he has been doing it, Kushnerick estimates he has written more than 200 songs. His most successful song chartwise prior to this year was one he wrote two years ago. "It stayed in the top 200 for three months," he said. "This one has been in the top 100 for four months now." Kushnerick finds that most of the songs he writes come to him when he is asleep. "I get the tune, the melody and the words when I am sleeping," he said. "When I wake up I write them out on paper right away." Kushnerick said songwriting has opened a few new doors for him. "It is a gift that I believe is important to share with others," he said. "I encourage everyone to make the most of the gifts they have been given." Kushnerick gives the credit for his songs' successes to the Holy Spirit. "That is where the inspiration comes from," he said. "I am happy that God uses me to get the message out. The Holy Spirit gets all the credit." Kushnerick's songs have also been performed by Arne Mack and a former RCMP officer who lives in Wetaskiwin.

Shakespeare returns to Bailey stage Submitted

After over a half-century, the Bard’s masterpieces will once again grace the Bailey Theatre stage. Cornerstone Christian Academy’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew is scheduled to open next week on Thursday, May 26, and will be followed by a second performance and matinee on Friday, May 27. Cornerstone, located 20 minutes northeast of Camrose in Kingman, has previously presented three Shakespeare productions: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Love’s Labor’s Lost and Merchant of Venice. This year, however, the play will be much different. The Cornerstone actors will be bringing their talents to the newly renovated and justopened historic Bailey Theatre, quite a departure from previous years when their plays were performed in their school gymnasium. Logan Pushie, one of the play’s lead actors, spoke for the entire cast in voicing his eagerness for opening night. “A real theatre to perform in – quite a difference from past years where we acted under the basketball hoops!” Fellow cast member Darby Ryde feels likewise. “I am so excited to be able to move this year’s Shakespeare play to the Bailey Theatre!” she exclaimed. “In the past,

things like lighting and sound were problematic. Now, with the help of the Bailey Theatre, we can perform on a real live stage.” The Cornerstone thespians are also looking forward to the ambiance that the Bailey offers. “This theatre has showcased so many talented people,” Ryde explained, “and I look forward to having the chance to act on such a historic stage. I expect that this experience will be very invigorating, and I am eager to perform in The Taming of the Shrew.” The newly refurbished Bailey Theatre is a must-see for everyone who remembers watching a theatrical production or film beneath the Bailey roof. The cast of The Taming of the Shrew are excited about being a part of the Bailey’s reopening and the beginning of this new era for the Bailey as the theatre begins its second century of providing quality entertainment for Camrose and surrounding communities. Tickets for The Taming of the Shrew may be purchased at the Bailey Theatre box office in advance or on the nights of the performances. Show times will be at 7 p.m. for evening performances and 1 p.m. for the matinee showing.

Cornerstone Christian Academy cast members are eager to get into the Bailey Theatre to perform their adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, which will be shown on Thursday, May 26, and Friday, May 27. Tickets for shows may be purchased at the Bailey Theatre box office or on the nights of the performances. Show times will be at 7 p.m. and 1 p.m.
