Workshop presents tips on water protection By Laurel Nadon The Camrose Booster A series of upcoming “You Are What You Drink” workshops will be aimed at educating the public on simple measures everyone can take to protect our drinking water at its source. The Battle River Watershed Alliance will host the workshops over the next month. A workshop will be held in Camrose on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at the Stoney Creek Centre from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., followed by workshops in Wetaskiwin, Hughenden, New Brigden and Castor. “Often there is a focus on the headwater regions, but there is water entering the river all along so the activities of people all the way along are important to keeping our water source,” said Sarah Skinner, watershed planning coordinator. “There are things we can do to protect the quality of our water system before it even reaches our water treatment facilities.” She noted that groundwater can be contaminated by excess phosphorous and nitrogen which are found in fertilizer. One way to protect the water system is choosing not to use fertilizer or only using the amount that will be taken up by the plants or lawn. Other protection measures include off-site watering for cattle, which keeps the cattle out of the river system, and establishing a green zone along the river that can capture water runoff and take up nutrients before they enter the river. A vegetation buffer can also be used between crop land and the river. “There are a lot of people in this region who realize our water is a limited resource, especially with the Battle River being a prairie-fed river,” Skinner said, explaining that this means there is no mountain snowpack feeding the river. “It’s easy to forget because you turn on your tap and the water is there.” Most of the major rivers in Alberta, such as the North Saskatchewan, Bow, Athabasca, Peace and Red Deer, are glacier-fed, which makes the Battle River unique. The headwaters of the Battle River are located at Battle Lake and from there the river flows to the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, where it crosses at North Battleford and meets the North Saskatchewan River.

We are proud to carry on that tradition of excellence as we continue as a locally owned and operated business,” notes Fred. The Cocar family is known in Camrose as the owners of ShadowRidge Homes, a home builder with an impeccable reputation for quality construction and superior customer service.

carries contaminants from many different sources. People attending the upcoming workshops will have a chance to share their thoughts on risks facing the region as well as solutions. The Battle River Watershed Alliance will present a background report on how source water protection has been approached Canadawide, especially looking at Ontario and Nova Scotia. The Walkerton tragedy in 2000 where seven people died and 2,500 became ill due to contaminated water led Ontario to look at the sources of drinking water and develop source protection plans. “It really brought to a focus some of the issues of drinking water protection in the province,” Skinner said. Input received from the workshops will be used

to develop watershed recommendations which can be used by provincial and municipal governments, as well as local landowners and community members. The recommendations will be finalized this spring and posted online by the summer at www.battleriverwatershed.ca. About 60 people attended the follow-up workshop where draft recommendations were brought back for drought and non-point source pollution after the last series of workshops. “In general, people were very supportive of the recommendations and thought we were going in the right direction,” Skinner said. The workshops are free, but pre-registration is appreciated. Call 780672-0276 or email sarah@ battleriverwatershed.ca to register.

Government action needed on transportation says Lett By Dan Jensen

Audrey Lett spoke on behalf of many Camrose seniors last week by saying she feels trapped. “I used to be able to take the bus or shuttle to Wetaskiwin to meet my transportation needs, but I can’t do that anymore,” explained Lett who, at the age of 85, no longer drives. “Now I have to rely on friends or neighbours to take me to the airport in order to be able to fly to Grande Prairie or Calgary to visit my daughters, or to Edmonton for a medical appointment. I have no wish to have a car, but I would be able to go to the Jubilee if I wanted to or do some shopping in Edmonton. I really don’t want to be a burden to my family; I want to be able to go where I want to and do what I want. I think as a taxpayer of this province that is a freedom that I deserve.”

Lett has talked to Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA about her situation, who has in turn forwarded her concerns to the new Minister of Transportation. “I received a letter from the government saying they would be contacting me but time is going by,” said Lett. “I know there has been a cabinet shuffle and I understand that, but I was told that someone would contact me.” Lett feels it is the responsibility of government, not private businesses, to help those who are vulnerable and who cannot afford their own vehicle to get where they need to go, or who just don’t have the ability to drive. “Historically, public transportation has always been subsidized by the government,” she said. “You can go anywhere in the world and see that is the case. Public transportation does

not make money. There has to be some responsibility placed on the government. They are fooling themselves if they feel they don’t have to provide public transportation. To have them say they can’t do it because it (public transportation) doesn’t make money is in my view just passing the buck.” Lett believes the problems with getting to Edmonton or the airport are starting to have an impact on the number of people who move to Camrose. “I had one person tell me that if she had known that she was not going to be able to get to Edmonton or Calgary, she probably would have retired elsewhere,” Lett said. “She has a car, she is willing to drive within Camrose, but she is not willing to be out on the highway.” Lett isn’t sure whether a petition to have the government take action would be

massive enough in scope to have anyone in the government pay any attention. “I don’t think that is the answer,” she said. “I remember when Glen (her late husband, who was principal at Camrose Composite High School for many years) and I worked on a petition to stop a casino from coming to Camrose, only to see the residents of the city vote in a referendum to have it. At the time we definitely did not want the casino to come. I may feel very differently now. I am very glad that there is a nice restaurant out there. I am very glad that there are banquet facilities and a nice hotel, so perhaps I was misguided. But the time and effort we spent on that petition was wasted.” Lett said the lack of transportation to and from Camrose is affecting not only the seniors. “It is hurting the stu-

dents and young people as well,” she said. “My grandchildren are students and they can’t afford cars.” Lett said she has no concerns with the transportation system in Camrose, including the Handivans and the taxi companies, but feels it is ridiculous that City council should be talking about something like a public transportation service when people can get anywhere they want to go within five minutes. “We don’t have a problem with public transportation in Camrose. I think our taxis do a wonderful job and are reasonable and provide very good service. I have had excellent service with taxi drivers carrying groceries into my house for me.” Greyhound terminated its Camrose to Wetaskiwin passenger route on Oct. 24, 2011, saying that it was no longer economically viable.

Bailey Theatre troubles back on City council agenda By Dan Jensen

The Bailey Theatre Society should know shortly what kind of help it can expect, if any, from the City of Camrose. Camrose City council kicked around a couple of scenarios at its Jan. 20 meeting that could potentially help the Society out of its current financial difficulties. One option, suggested by councillor Agnes Hoveland, would be to provide a loan to cover operating costs to the end of the current year. “My preference would be to somehow allow time for the new artistic director, Peter North, to demonstrate new approaches to programming etc. over the next year and see what can develop from that,” said Hoveland. “If we could somehow provide enough funding to get them to that point, with the bottom line being that we need see a very clear plan in place for moving forward and what that would look like.” The other option (and the one that would be less painful to the City) would be to provide a guarantee for the Bailey Theatre Society’s loan of between $500,000 and $600,000 with the Battle River Credit Union, a move that would enable the Bailey to access a grant from the McInnis Family Foundation for operating costs. The loan is currently backed by two guarantors. “The question was asked of the credit union under which circumstances either one of the guarantees might be released and the understanding was that they would certainly consider replacing it if another individual or entity with as strong a covenant would be willing to put their neck on the line for the guaran-

tee,” said councillor Wayne Throndson in a report on a meeting he, Mayor Norm Mayer and City treasurer Diane Urkow had with credit union officials. “If you want to get one or both of those guarantees released it has to be replaced by a similar guarantee of a like amount.” Acting as a guarantor would mean that the City would be responsible for the repayment of the loan if the Bailey Theatre Society was to default on it. “If we pledge our guarantee we are on the hook for the amount owing to the credit union,” said Throndson. The City of Camrose has already committed $1,000,000 in Municipal Infrastructure Sustainability funds to the renovation of the Bai-

ley Theatre – money that technically would have to be repaid to the City if the Bailey Theatre Society is no longer able to operate. “We checked the motions and reviewed the process that went through at the time and the MSI money was granted to them in accordance with the rules set down by the provincial government to deal with non profit organizations,” said Mayer. “One of those rules were that the City had to have an agreement in place with the non profit organization that would guarantee the fact that the property that received the money would be open to the public because of the fact it was public money. If the doors are not kept open the City has the right to ask for the money back from the organization.” The City would not have

to repay the MSI money to the province. “The money was put out in accordance with the rules and regulations at the time and it was spent in accordance with the proposal to finalize construction of the structure,” said Mayer. “It was spent in a proper manner and it appears that all the agreements were put in place properly.” Mayer said there is no easy answer to the situation in which the Bailey Theatre finds itself. “It is a private society trying to do a good job and not having the financial depth to make it work. I don’t know if (closing the Bailey) is our decision. Certainly I don’t suppose anybody wants to say lets close it, but I don’t think it is the taxpayers’ problem to

be continually supporting it forever and a day.” Councillor PJ Stasko wasn’t convinced that the City should do any more than it already has. “I think sometimes you have to do what you believe in,” he said. “I believe the Bailey is a great asset to downtown Camrose, but sometimes you have to do what is right. I think it is a burden to taxpayers. I don’t think we can continue supporting it with taxpayer dollars.” Councillor Bill Sears said the question council has to ask is whether it wants the Bailey Theatre to close. “If the answer is no then what do we do as a council to see that the Bailey doesn’t close. Because it is my feel, from the information that we have that if the City doesn’t do something, even if it is in the short term, to keep the Bailey operating, it isn’t going to be able to operate. I think it is important to the City and it is important to Main Street that the Bailey not be closed. Does that mean we take over the responsibility for the loan? That would free up some money for them to operate on the short term and hopefully they can develop a plan to carry on so they will be self sufficient. Do we want to give them some operating money in the short term so that they can get through the year? That is not going to solve that problem. I have made a commitment to the Bailey and I think it is important to the community. Even from a business point of view we have a big stake in it. Is that going to be money down the drain? What happens to the building if they are unable to operate? Does it get boarded up? That is not good for the City.” Continued on page 31

Theism, Humanism or Scientism: Which is the Real Delusion? That’s a question Dr. Andy Bannister, Martin Tweedale, Aleem Karmali will be addressing in a Ronning Centre, Veritas and Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute sponsored forum in the Epp Conference Room of the Augustana Campus from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6. Dr. Bannister is the Canadian director of RZIM Canada, an organization that exists to help generate conversations about faith and culture. He holds a PhD in Islamic studies, a topic on which he has taught extensively, especially since 9/11 and the huge interest that was sparked in the subject by the events of the day. He has spoken and taught at universities across Canada, the USA, the UK and farther afield on both Islam and philosophy, and is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Islam and Other Faiths at Melbourne School of Theology. He is the author of an Oral-Formulaic Study of the Qur’an, due to be published by Lexington Books.

Tweedale is a professor of philosophy at the University of Alberta and specializes in medieval and ancient philosophy, while Karmali is a leader in the Ismaili community in Edmonton. Dr. Bannister said that Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian writer and political activist, was fond of the old Russian proverb: “One word of truth outweighs the whole world.” “Canada is, like much of the western world, deeply pluralistic. Some people look at that pluralism and think the way to deal with difference is to rudely squash all challenging world views. Others think we should collapse the distinctives say that truth is relative, that everybody believes essentially the same. But I think the way to a peaceful society lies down neither of those paths, not least because truth is too important to reduce to power plays or to relativism.”

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; only name of writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted. The Camrose Booster may edit for length, clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Setting the record straight

There is a need to set the record straight and reiterate that I have not mocked our MLA in my letters to you, but have merely used his own words to attempt to caution him as to the perception they have on his listening constituents. That people do listen and take into consideration the many times that his words have given him or the PC Party apoplexy by placing him on the front page. While meandering through the colourful metaphor section of the dictionary he presented himself as ready cannon fodder for a faltering Redford government. Thus his near dismissal from cabi-

net may fulfil their wish and banish him to the back pages of the nation’s news. Mr./Ms. Editor as you know, there are really only three things that are essential to have a sound and robust democracy that will advance freedoms and generate a vibrant economy. The rule of law, good governance, and moral excellence each must be in balance for there to be a dynamic democracy that has been Alberta and Canada’s legacy. Laws are not set to define the actions and beliefs of the nation, rather they establish the most primal of behaviors which we as a society dictate as a minimum for our society to function. It is incumbent on the individual to order his/her life to live above those parameters or suffer the consequences. However, with growing frequency, we have seen the Redford government transgress with impunity the very laws they established. Altering the laws allows them to transgress societal standards while verbally giving the appearance of moral superiority, thereby simply engaging in legal duplicity. I find that alarming. We, his constituents

chartered Doug with the responsibility of drafting laws that enable our province to lead the nation democratically, socially, and economically. Laws that smother the voice of the people, though undemocratic in substance and dictatorial in nature, are what we see being rammed through the legislature. Bills 28, 45, and 46 are designed to silence those who oppose the government or object to their self-imposed dictatorial powers. Unfortunately, we are perched on the precipice of recreating our culture where those who are more right than others, more blessed, more privileged, and more deserving as defined in their own eyes, are treated with the presumed birthright of aristocracy. Like the George Orwell classic, Animal Farm, we are allowing our politicians to erode our society into something unrecognizable. I am becoming increasingly disenfranchised from my government because as one who believes in the rule of law, good governance, and moral excellence I am struggling to find something to support in this government.

Hauser Home Hardware commits $75,000 to CPAC By Dan Jensen

The Performing Arts Centre fundraising committee is another step closer to its $5,000,000 target thanks to the generous support of another Camrose business. Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre owner Rob Hauser presented the first installment in total commitment of $75,000 over three years to Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger and Camrose mayor Norm Mayer Jan. 14. “I am really excited about the project and the way University of Alberta, the City of Camrose, Camrose County and the provincial government have worked together to make this a reality,” said Hauser. “I think it is something that Camrose has needed for a very long time. It’s going to be one of our community’s heritage facilities and will give our next generations a place to grow up with and excel in the arts.” Hauser said he has been keeping track of the progress on the performing arts centre since the presentation of the original plans. “I have had discussions with the dean regarding their hopes and plans and what they are projecting for the community. It is excit-

ing to know they are so in tune with what makes sense for the community.” Hauser said the communities across the country that are the most successful are the ones that are home to a college or university. “I think it bodes well for Camrose that we have Augustana here. It’s going to be an integral part of our growth and survival when things get difficult.” The Camrose performing arts centre fits well

with Hauser Home Hardware’s philosophy of contributing to something that is permanent and will benefit youth for many years to come. “We would rather support something like this that gives back to the community and than someone who is going to Europe on a one-time ski excursion,” said Hauser. “This is a significant commitment for us and it pulls things together in a very special way.”

Hauser said he has had discussions with the U of A about designating a certain room or area on behalf of Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre, but as of yet nothing has been confirmed. Dean Berger said it is gratifying to see local businesses like Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre stepping forward to support the performing arts centre project. “Rob’s donation is an

important leadership gift to the project. We are hoping that his inclination (to give) is contagious. Camrose mayor Norm Mayer said he was pleased to be able to accept the donation. “It is just one more notch as far as bringing the plans in line, and is just one more indication of the support from the community.” The Camrose Performing Arts Centre fundraising committee received a gift of $350,000 at the end of 2013 for a programming endowment, and has been holding discussions with a local business that is interested in donating to the centre a portion of the sales on a particular product. “Neither of those are ready for full announcements yet but they both suggest that the momentum for our campaign is continuing,” said Dean Berger. The campaign’s goal is to have the full $5,000,000 in place by the time of the building’s official opening in the fall of this year. The performing arts centre’s soft opening has been pushed back by a couple of months from the original target date of April because of the cold weather and snow earlier this winter.

Students gave a standing ovation after the announcement.

Doug Griffiths, local MLA and Service Alberta Minister, visited Bashaw School on Friday morning to share the news that the community will be receiving a new school. The school will replace the existing Grade 1 to 12 facility and have a maximum capacity of 300 students. The existing Bashaw School has been number one on the Battle River School Division’s capital priority list for the last few years, as it needs significant structural, mechanical and electrical upgrading. The oldest portion of the existing school was built in 1922. A review of the needs and costs led to the provincial decision that a replacement facility would be more efficient and cost effective than modernizing the existing facility. In a news release (and in his remarks) Doug Griffiths said “in just a few short years Bashaw and the surrounding community will be home to a new, state-of-the-art school that the community very much deserves. We will ensure that this new school will be able to meet the needs of our community over the next generations.” The news release also says “Last spring Premier Redford committed to build and modernize 120 schools throughout the province. This new replacement school is one example of how the province is building Alberta’s school infrastructure.” Battle River School Division board chair Kendall Severson thanked the MLA for the good news and expressed appreciation for the government’s

confidence in the future of Bashaw and rural Alberta. Students, staff and community members gathered in the gym to hear the announcement and greeted the news with cheers and a standing ovation.

Why choose tile?

Tile works from contemporary to classic. With so many colors, patterns and sizes to choose from, there are countless ways to make use of tile in your home. A long-time favorite in bathrooms, tile is just as suitable in kitchens for its ability to resist spills. And you can lend other living spaces throughout your home a touch of style, ranging from contemporary to traditional. Whatever your style. No matter what your architectural style, there’s a tile solution to bring your vision to life. And tile isn’t merely a trendy choice, either. It’s been an admired flooring for years and will continue to be a great way to bring lasting beauty and value to your home. Be creative. Tile is modular, which allows you to be creative in how you assemble your floor. You can put large tiles together for an expansive look. Set them at angles to grow small spaces, or use insets for a custom look. While there’s much to consider in creating the desired look, style and long-term performance of your floors, know that you’ll find beautiful flooring that’s made affordable at Wideman Carpet One. Plus, the experts at Wideman Carpet One are always available to assist you personally and answer any questions you may have.

Could my teenager have a hearing problem?

Teenagers often seem to be in their oown world, not paying attention to what’s happening at home or in school. But when h tteens are truly having trouble hearing you, it’s time to take action. Teens who have been it exposed to loud music over a period of time may complain of ringing in the ears (also known as tinnitus) or of a sensation of fullness, as if their ears are plugged. Hearing loss can also be caused by ear infections or trauma, and it’s important to get to the bottom of the problem quickly if you suspect your teen has a hearing problem. For infants, children and teens, even minor hearing loss can make communication difficult, and can have long-lasting consequences. A child’s self-image may be negatively affected by hearing loss, their ability to learn may be compromised, and children with hearing loss may experience difficulty developing social skills. Signs of hearing loss in older adults are often wrongly attributed to other age-related issues such as dementia. Forgetfulness may be a sign that your loved one has simply missed part of a conversation due to a hearing problem. If an older adult communicates well in one-to-one conversations, but has difficulty hearing in a group situation, hearing loss may be to blame. Finally, if a older person who was once engaged and socially active becomes withdrawn, irritable or inattentive, chances are strong that they are suffering from hearing loss and should be seen by a hearing specialist.

Q. A:

Is there any way you can you help me quit my smoking habit?

Yes, absolutely. As a pharmacist, I can be part of a terrific team effort. On your side will be your medical doctor, medication he will recommend or prescribe, and which I will dispense for you. I will also be on your side with advice and information. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been proven that this multi-faceted approach is the most effective technique for stop smoking success. The addictive power of nicotine can often be too powerful for will, alone. However, there is guaranteed hope for people who have the motivation to quit. Scientists, in recent years, have developed some very safe and effective medications which will assist you in your quest. These pills, lozenges, patches, inhalers, or gum have been developed with minimal symptoms in mind. Nicotine replacement solutions can be adjusted to suit your body and mind. Some of our clients aspire to slowly wean off tobacco products. Others choose to rely on these medications to quit completely on day one of their treatment program. I will offer professional guidance and a program tailored specifically to you and your smoking habit. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m eager to helping you achieve the success you need for optimum health in the future. Answer provided by:

Q. A:

Did you know that in nearly half of Canadian households, the primary wage earner reported that if he or she died, surviving family members would have immediate trouble meeting everyday living expenses or be unable to cover expenses beyond only a few months? That survey finding from LIMRA reflects how millions of Canadians are either uninsured or underinsured and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re overlooking an important aspect of their overall financial strategy. Think about what would happen if you unexpectedly passed away today. Who would pay for your funeral and your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly bills? Who would pay your monthly mortgage payment and other outstanding debts? How would your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future education be funded? And would your family be able to compensate for your lost pay cheque, which would be gone forever? It all points to the importance of insurance which can provide money when you need it to offset lost earnings to your household or business in the event of a death or disability. The simple reality is that without adequate insurance coverage, your loved ones could face catastrophic consequences. Have a detailed discussion with your financial advisor about the insurance options available to you.

Should I have life and disability insurance? How much do I need?

What do you recommend for prioritizing â&#x20AC;&#x153;dream â&#x20AC;&#x201C; vacationâ&#x20AC;? destinations?

As experienced travel councillors, based on hundreds of experiences with clients over many years, our best advice is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;plan early and carefully.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Your bucket list of ideal, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;some-day vacationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; should be prepared sooner, rather than later. Include specifics of your travel goals, countries and sites to see and budget. We highly recommend visiting countries which are farthest away on your list first. Also highest on your priority list should be those trips which include rigorous physical activity. As an example, the Great Wall of China or the Mayan Ruins in Mexico are much more cherished opportunities to visit in your thirties or fifties, rather than your sixties or eighties. The world is an amazing place and there is much to see, appreciate and learn about. As certified travel councillors, we can help you plan your lifetime of travel. We can advise you on all aspects of your travel plans from weather to food to cultural quirks. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put off travel. Health issues and limitations due to natural aging tend to get in the away of some great travel intentions. Start today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with help from us!

How many fittings do I need for my Wedding Dress?

Usually there will be three (3) to four (4) fittings required for bridal alterations. Book your first fitting a minimum of three months before your wedding date. Keep in mind the Spring Bridal season coincides with graduation and your seamstress will be very busy. Allow plenty of time for all the required alterations to be finished in time for your special day. Be ready for your first fitting by having considered what undergarments (ie: strapless bra, Spanx) and shoes you require and bring them with you. The bridesmaids and mothers should also book alterations with the same time-line as the bride in mind.

Q. A:

How do I choose the right window coverings for my home?

Whether the sun is damaging your new floors, the neighbors can see everything you do, or the glare on your T.V. is interfering with your favorite program, window coverings can serve many different functions while greatly enhancing the appeal of your homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decor. Window coverings come in all types of colors, textures and materials to fit many sizes and shapes of windows. Odd shaped windows such as circles, arches, and angles can also be fitted appropriately. When there is such an extensive variety of window coverings, how does one know which style is going to be best suited for them? There are many things to consider, such as: privacy, light control, energy efficiency, maintenance and achieving a desired look. In a bedroom you may want the room to be very dark and private while in the family room you may want sufficient sunshine while still protecting your furniture. Some roomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views are too fantastic to block out and yet too hot or drafty to enjoy. These are just a few of the problems you may run into, and custom blinds can solve virtually any type of window dilemma. Working with a professional window-covering expert can certainly make the process easier. A professional has the experience required to choose a covering that is both functional and attractive. See your local expert, Dion Currie at Wideman Paint and DĂŠcor about selecting and installing the window coverings Answer provided by: that are right for you.

What differences lie ahead for local real estate buyers and sellers?

I sense downsizing is increasingly o the minds of many in our community on a throughout our trading area. and S Statistically, Camrose is host to many b baby boomers and retirees. In recent decades families have been smaller in terms of number of children. So less space will be required. I predict condominiums will become increasingly popular in this market. Massive square footage homes will give way to smaller properties with floor plans unlike those weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen built in the past. Fewer formal dining rooms will be incorporated into plans. Less bedrooms. Secondary suites available for other generations in the family may be popular. There will be a growing emphasis on interesting and appealing common areas sometimes created with exercise or health care aspects. Technology will have a growing impact on the real estate market. Music, books, photographs, and magazines are now often stored digitally which could translate into less storage space being required for these as well as other typical material possessions. Homes and condos may double as workplaces, personal classrooms, and lived in only part of the year as people reward themselves with winter travel or vacation properties in warm climates.

Hayes in, Currington out for Big Valley By Murray Green

The Big Valley Jamboree lineup is a revolving door for the outdoor country music festival in Camrose on July 31 to Aug. 3. But, that is not necessary a bad thing. Due to unexpected logistical complications, Billy Currington will be unable to attend this year’s Big Valley Jamboree. “We can’t ever recall a situation where we’ve had to replace two headlining artists so far in advance of our festival,” said producer Larry Werner, after he received the news. “However, despite this, we are excited to say that Hunter Hayes has accepted our invitation to be part of an amazing 2014 line up.” Larry thrives on bringing in top young talent who are on the verge of making it very big. His method worked with Luke Bryan

and now he is banking on Hunter Hayes to put on a spectacular show. Hayes has made the most of his relatively short career with two albums and nine awards since his commercial debut in 2011. He has been working on his craft since childhood, playing in his first band at the age of four. He’s never been to the Big Valley Jamboree before, but with his musical momentum in full swing, he will head right to the main stage. Marty Stuart will be returning for his fourth performance at the festival and the country rocker will show new and old fans why he has been in the business for 40 years. He has 16 albums worth of country hits. Drew Gregory moves from the Molson Canadian Saloon to the main stage as he the Albertan advanc-

The Rocky Road Ice Cream Fantasy is a fun filled afternoon full of games, face painting, cool crafts, parachute, wall climbing and, of course, ice cream! This exciting event will be happening at the Augustana University’s gymnasium on Sunday Feb. 2, from 1 to 4 p.m. with an admission fee of $3 and a food bank donation. The Rocky Road Ice cream Fantasy is an annual event that was created in 1993 by students who wanted to create a fun filled afternoon for the children and youth of Camrose. This event is now coordinated by Augustana’s Residence Life staff, and has evolved to benefit a different charitable organization each year that has positively impacted the Camrose community. This year the proceeds from the event and silent auction are going directly to Courtland’s Hope Foundation. This organization assists families to purchase expensive medical equipment for children with disabilities. The funds raised at Rocky Road will be allocated for a motorized two-person bicycle for a local Camrose boy, Brendyn Swanson. We hope you can come out to this fun-filled afternoon to support a great cause.

Mike Dunnigan and Barry Stotts will be travelling to the Solola district of Guatamala Feb. 22 where they and 11 other volunteers from across Canada will be helping to build new Habitat for Humanity homes. “The volunteers are going to be divided up into two groups, each of which will build a single family dwelling made of cinder block as replacements for the adobe homes that are made of straw and mud and have been damaged over the years by hurricanes,” explained Stotts. The trip will be the second in as many years for the two semi-retirees who, in January of 2013, helped build a 400 square foot home for a man, his pregnant wife and their two children at a cost of $4,800. “The homes don’t compare to the ones we build here, but they do the job,” said Stotts, who has worked on all but a couple of the Habitat for Humanity builds in Camrose. Habitat for Humanity has been very active in Guatemala over the last 10 or so years, building approximately 50,000 homes. Partner families may choose from eight different home designs, all with strong metal roofs and concrete floors, and are generally required to repay their loan with a low interest rate to account for inflation within a term of eight to 10 years. “The Habitat partner families must be able to make $6 per day and are required to contribute sweat equity just like they do here,” said Stotts. “There has to be a family member of a family representative at the site any time the volunteers are there.” Dunnigan and Stotts

spent about six hours a day at the work site, and another half to three quarter of an hour travelling to and from their place of accommodation. “The work wasn’t too bad and it didn’t get too hot because we were at a pretty high elevation,” said Dunnigan. “It might be a little different this year because we are going there at a later time of year.” Dunnigan noted that while the people he met in Guatemala were poor, they were happy. A Habitat for Humanity Spaghetti Supper fundraiser will be held at ReStore on Wednesday, Feb. 5, from 5:00 to 6:30.

“They were so appreciative of our help,” said Dunnigan. “It was fun to work with them and get to know them. Our only wish was that we had been able to speak more Spanish.” Dunnigan said it was difficult sometimes to see the way the Guatemalans worked, knowing there was a faster way. “I remember there was one fellow who runs a construction company in Canada who was trying to show them a better way of putting mud on the cement blocks. The person was skeptical but he tried it and found after a while that things were going quite a bit faster.” Stotts and Dunnigan were impressed by the team of Habitat for Humanity volunteers and how willing they were to serve. “The two women were both 69 and had been on many builds,” said Stotts. “One lost her husband three years ago and she was amazing and was enjoying life while serving others. The other was a retired nurse who travelled the world on builds with her husband.

We had more laughs and fun than you could imagine. There was always time for sensitivity and anger management workshops at the end of the day.” Stotts and Dunnigan paid $2,900 for the experience, an amount that included their building materials, airfare and accommodation at a five star hotel in Guatemala City. “Habitat Guatemala works very hard to make sure the teams are comfortable and provide history and cultural activities, including visits to the Mayan ruins, cultural meals and celebrations,” said Stotts. “The markets in the villages have all types of items to sell. Mike and I bought mostly tapestries for our families. We were able to visit two villages across Lake Atitlan, which were very remote but known for the art and Mayan traditions. These two villages had very limited access and some of the roads were patrolled by pirates or thieves.” Habitat for Humanity Camrose will be holding a spaghetti supper fundraiser at ReStore starting at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 5, just 17 days before Dunnigan and Stotts leave. Money raised from the freewill offering at the supper will be used to improve Guatemala’s water systems, stoves and latrines. All Habitat for Humanity affiliates are required to To take at least 10 per cent of what we have been blessed with and give it back to the Habitat ministry. “Through our Tithe program, Habitat partners are not only eliminating poverty housing from their own communities, but also eliminating poverty housing in communities around the world,” states the Habitat website. “We ensure that funding reaches the countries that have both a Habitat presence and some of the greatest need.”

Maintain heart health There are several ways to easily improve heart health and avoid becoming one of the millions of people to succumb to heart disease. * Embrace aerobic exercise. Daily aerobic exercise, which can be as simple as walking around the neighborhood, can help men and women maintain a healthy weight and lower their bad cholesterol. * Adopt a low-sodium diet that’s also low in cholesterol. Diet can be a friend or foe with regards to heart disease. A heart-friendly diet that’s low in sodium and cholesterol can help you maintain healthy cholesterol levels as well as a healthy blood pressure. * Monitor your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading is a staple of many doctor visits, but men and women should monitor their blood pressure even when they aren’t visiting their physicians.

Sunday drives on Wednesday By June Osborne

We are never too old to head out on a ‘Sunday Drive’ or enjoy being in the outdoors. Thanks to the inspiring example of two dear women in my life, I know that to be true. My mother, as she aged, never lost her love of the outdoors, and so, we would often walk together, pausing at times to enjoy the beauty of a tree or a flower or the birdsong coming from overhead. Even when her capacity was drastically reduced she was always keen to head out in a wheelchair through the neighborhood, never complaining about the jerky ride over uneven sidewalks. Instead, she was in her glory with the sun on her cheeks and the wind in her hair. The times I loved the best, however, were those slow, meandering drives, when she and I, our attention weaving from side-to-side,

would inspect the neat farmsteads, the progress of crops, and revel in the beauty of the changing seasons. We stopped where we pleased, rolling down the windows to breath in fresh air, nibbling on cheese and crackers, smiling and waving our tea-filled travel mugs at concerned folks driving past, who kindly asked if we needed help. I will always remember the time, just weeks before her passing, when I took Mom, bundled in blankets to bask in the afternoon sun of a brilliant autumn day. A little unsure of the wisdom of this, I asked more than once if she was getting cold. She had barely opened her eyes or spoken since I had arrived at the hospital hours earlier. But suddenly her eyes did open and with that familiar, impatient tone I knew so well, she said to me, “Oh stop your fussing. You know how I love to be outside.”

These days Auntie Ruth, soon to celebrate her 100th birthday, and I go on what we jokingly call our ‘Sunday Drives on Wednesday’. Sometimes we meander or sometimes we have a particular destination. We celebrated her ninety-ninth birthday picnicking at the County Nature Conservation Centre a few kilometers down Heath Brae Hall Road. The countryside is full of memories for Ruth who has lived in the area since her girlhood. There is much to talk about and I am constantly caught off guard by this dignified, elderly Norwegian’s wry sense-of-theridiculous. This is such a simple activity and yet is so special to the both of us. I recall, not long ago, a drive home down a rutted gravel road when she turned to me and said adamantly, “Everyone should go for ‘Sunday Drives on Wednesday’. It’s good for the soul.” I couldn’t agree more.

Camrose and District Senior Centre Society has many clubs By Iris Baker

The Camrose and District Senior Centre Society has its office at the Mirror Lake Centre, 5415-49 Avenue, Camrose. It is a society for seniors (or almost seniors) 50 years of age and over. The Camrose and District Senior Centre Society sponsors many clubs which hold their events at the Mirror Lake Centre. These clubs hold daily, weekly, monthly and yearly events. There are card clubs: cribbage, canasta, stick rummy, Wednesday bridge, Thursday bridge and a new club joining soon, duplicate bridge. There are dance clubs: Wednesday night dance, Rose City Square Dance, Wild Rose Dance and Polka Fest. Other clubs participating are:

pickle ball, Alberta 55 plus, floor curling, floor shuffleboard, pool, scrabble and Cam-Roses. The Camrose and District Senior Centre Society is run entirely by volunteers who have made this a huge success with over 385 members in 2013, a number that is increasing every year. This is amazing as when the volunteers took over the society in 2007 there were just over 170 members. The executive of the Camrose and District Senior Centre Society consists of Wilf Maertens-Poole, president, Darlene Van Haitsma, vice president, Iris Baker, secretary, and Rosella Snopek, treasurer. These people work tirelessly, along with all of the coordinators of the clubs, to make this such a

wonderful place to come. Members volunteer to work at the reception desk, and also with setting up and decorating for specific functions and events. Many comments are made about the beautiful facility we have and much of it is due to the decorating by the Cam-Roses club. The Camrose and District Senior Centre Society has a yearly membership fee of $15 per year, which entitles members to join any club they desire. The Society offers great fun, good friends, and good exercise for all members. Come and see us at the Mirror Lake Centre or visit us on our website, www.camroseseniorcentre.com. You may also call for more information at 780-672-7022 between 10 a.m. and noon.

Limited Time Special on

Augustana’s

By Murray Green

Global Pet Foods Camrose is spreading the love to homeless animals through the Battle River Animal Protection Society (BRAPS) this Valentine’s Day during the eighth annual Show Us Your Heart fundraiser. Camrose, show us your heart this Valentine’s Day. Animals often show us they have a heart when we are feeling down. Now it’s your chance to return the favour. Since 2007, BRAPS has been advocating for animals in need – protecting them from neglect, abuse and abandonment. That’s why Global Pet Foods Camrose has developed a long-standing relationship with the shelter and continually raises money through Show Us Your Heart. Last year Global Pet Foods Camrose raised over $2,000 for the organization. They are hoping to make this year even better. Pet parents are invited to visit Global Pet Foods Camrose (570648 Avenue) from Feb. 1 to 15 and donate as little as $1 to the annual Show Us Your Heart campaign and Global Pet Foods, along with Hills Ideal Balance, will match your donation. Global Pet Foods Camrose store owner Chris Zamora, supports BRAPS because it is a non-profit organization operated solely by volunteers and only funded by public donations. The total amount of the funds raised will go directly to BRAPS. BRAPS advocates for animals in the Battle River area by protecting them from neglect, abuse and abandonment. Global Pets in Camrose has been supporting the society for the last seven years. For more info on BRAPS visit www.braps.ca.

However, Chris is willing to go one step further. “For every $10 donation at the Camrose store, we will give you a $10 gift card to be used on your next purchase,” said Chris. “Our store is doing this over and above other stores because we want to support BRAPS. All proceeds will go directly to BRAPS and all the funds stays locally.” BRAPS will also have six to eight cats at the store on Feb. 1, 8 and 15 that will be up for adoption from noon to 4 p.m. Currently, the society has about 25 cats that are looking for a good home. “The animals are all spade or neutered, vaccinated and ready for adoption,”

said BRAPS vice-president Monica Rusnak. “If someone wants to adopt a cat they can contact us at braps@hotmail.ca, phone 780-678-5713 or 780-679-5607. We’ve taken in 30 kittens in the last three months.” Former NHL coach of the year Don Cherry and his dog, Blue, make this Valentine’s Day sweeter for homeless pets by supporting Global Pet Foods’ fundraiser. Don is a devoted pet parent and supporter of local animal shelters. “I really admire people who rescue animals,” he said. “It’s not about how a dog or cat acts or looks. Choosing a rescue is about the desire to truly help an animal; that’s

what Show Us Your Heart is all about.” Pets play meaningful roles with local families. “Our real customers are the dogs and cats,” said Jim Walker, president of Global Pet Foods. “Show Us Your Heart is our way to give back to pets and the incredible local organizations and volunteers that support them in communities across Canada.” When you donate $5 or more in-store, you receive 10 bonus Air Miles. Donations can also be made from your mobile phone by texting the word “HEART” to 20222 for a $5 donation. Hills Ideal Balance (Science Diet) is a major sponsor of

the Show us Your Hearts campaign and will give pet food for a year to a lucky winner. Customers can win Don Cherry’s voice mail recording on their home phone and free science diet food for a year by entering a contest at www. facebook.com/globalpetfoods. “We would like to increase the amount raised this year,” concluded Chris. “This is such a worthwhile cause because we are helping a local organization that helps animals in our community.” The money raised pays for veterinarian bills and foster homes that take care of the animals until they can be adopted.

Kodiaks silence Thunder, double the Oilers By Murray Green

Ryker Leer scored late in the second period to break a scoreless game and the Camrose Kodiaks went on to silence the Drayton Valley Thunder 4-2 on Jan. 18. “We have been playing well at home and we wanted to continue that. We started slow, but improved as the game went on,” said Ryker. Brett Njaa connected on a power play marker 19 seconds before the period ended to give the Kodiaks a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. Luc Vandale padded the lead in the middle of the last frame before the Thunder made any noise. Camrose muffled the comeback when the team scored just 20 seconds later on a Spencer Kryczka tally. Drayton Valley scored in the last minute when the game was out of reach. Goalie Matt Zentner led the defensive play by stopping 26 of 28 shots directed his way. Camrose also had 28 shots on goal. Camrose doubled up on the Okotoks Oilers in southern Alberta on Jan. 17, 6-3. “Anytime you can take two points out of their barn it’s good. We lost twice in Okotoks earlier in the season, so we wanted to get some points back. We went in with a different attitude,” said Ryker. “We played really well and got a jump on them right off the bat. We wanted to keep going and not let them catch their breath.” The Kodiaks came out snarly and netted four unanswered markers and led in shots 12-3 before the Oil-

ers knew what hit them. A power play tally late in the second put Okotoks on the board. The played even in the third to give Camrose the two points. “We started the year down in the standings, but now we are in the mix and our goal is to start each

game strong and play the full 60 minutes,” said Ryker. “We have beaten Okotoks twice after Christmas and we are a different team now. We are just as good, if not better, than the top south teams.” Ryker led the offence with two goals, while Braeden Salverda, Tanner Tyndall,

Nelson Gadoury and Tanner MacMaster chipped in with single markers. Goalie Devon McDonald held the hot hand by stopping 25 of 28 shots for the Kodiaks. While the Kodiaks have been winning, so too are the other south teams.

“We have to focus on ourselves and not worry about the other teams,” continued Ryker. “We want to get two points every game we play because we can’t control what the other teams do. We have two big games coming up against Canmore.” The parade to the infirmary has slowed down. “We are starting to get some forwards back and we have two defencemen getting close to coming back. We went through a rough stretch, but we are getting healthy again,” added Ryker. Ryker has turned up his game since the break. “By the holidays I already played more games than I did in midget hockey,” he said. “I had to get used to that and now I’ve bought in to do what ever it takes to have team success. It is paying off for me both offensively and defensively.” The next home game for the Kodiaks is on Feb. 7 when the Calgary Mustangs ride into the city for a 7 p.m. game in the EnCana Arena. The Kodiaks face the Canmore Eagles on Feb. 9 at 2 p.m. before the Spruce Grove Saints are here on Valentine’s Day. Remember to wear your Calgary Flames jersey as a tribute on Joe Colborne night on Feb. 14. The Camrose Kodiaks will be retiring jersey number 12 that was worn last by Joe. The annual fundraising banquet for the Kodiaks is on Feb. 15. Contact the office for tickets or to book a table.

Several Kodiaks selected to AJHL Top 50 list By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks organization has sent many players onto a higher level of hockey since the franchise was launched in 1997. Some former Kodiaks made the Alberta Junior Hockey League Top 50 players of all-time list following several months of online voting, during which over 5,000 votes cast. The Top 50 list includes 10 players from each decade and is filled with NHL alumni, current NHL superstars and some of the biggest names in Canadian hockey history. Thirteen current NHL players were selected as members of the list including Chris Phillips, Dany Heatley, Mason Raymond, Mark Letestu, Joe Colborne and Scottie Upshall. “The Alberta Junior Hockey League is proud to recognize this unique and diverse group of athletes as its’ Top 50 players of all-time and is honored to have contributed to their development and illustrious careers,” said league commissioner and AJHL alumnus Ryan Bartoshyk.

“These 50 players epitomize the opportunity available by competing in the AJHL and embody the spirit of our league.” The Top 10 players from each decade were determined through a series of online voting stages throughout the opening months of the 2013–14 season. Fans were encouraged to vote based on the individual player’s achievements during their time in the AJHL and their accomplishments after graduating from the league. “It’s a feather in the player’s cap. The recognition is well-deserved and they earned it. They worked hard to get to where they are at, but any time you have a list some players get left off. The players learned a lot when they were here and it is a tribute to them for paying attention to detail and learning the little things,” said Kodiaks coach Doug Fleck. “They learned some good habits before they moved on to the next level. It’s a tribute to them for believing in themselves.” The 2004–13 list

includes Mason Raymond, Camrose Kodiaks; Joe Colborne, Camrose Kodiaks; Matt Frattin, Fort Saskatchewan Traders; Corban Knight, Okotoks Oilers; T.J. Galiardi, Calgary Royals; Ben Scrivens, Spruce Grove Saints; Mark Letestu, Bonnyville Pontiacs; Dylan Olsen, Camrose Kodiaks; Justin Fontaine, Bonnyville Pontiacs and Taylor Fedun, Spruce Grove Saints. “Looking at the list, I assume Mason was the top vote-getter. Next was Joe Colborne and Olsen was eighth. It is nice for them and the organization,” echoed Boris Rybalka, Kodiaks general manager and coach. “It shows the organization has done its job in developing the players and giving them the opportunity to get to the next level. It has been a fun year watching the former Kodiaks doing well.” The fans voted for who should be on the list, so there is always room for debate. “You look at our wall and realize a lot of good players went through the Kodiaks organization and some of them could have

made the list, but it is a fun exercise for the fans and you take it at that. We are just proud of the players who made it,” concluded Boris. “Our fans have been lucky to watch some of these players over the years. We will have more to come from this group of guys and in the future,” said Doug. The 1994–2003 list includes Dany Heatley, Calgary Canucks; Mike Comrie, St. Albert Saints; Curtis Glencross, Brooks Bandits; Rene Bourque, St. Albert Saints; Chris Phillips, Fort McMurray Oil Barons; Fernando Pisani St. Albert Saints; Mark Bomersback, Canmore Eagles; Scottie Upshall, Fort McMurray Oil Barons; Scott Hartnell, Lloydminster Blazers and Steve Reinprecht, St. Albert Saints. The 1984–93 top 10 were Zarley Zalapski, Fort Saskatchewan; Wade Redden, Lloydminster Blazers; Stu Barnes, St. Albert Saints; Gary Valk, Sherwood Park; Dixon Ward, Red Deer Rustlers; Brad Werenka, Fort Saskatchewan Traders; Garry Shuchuk, St.

Albert Saints; Glen Wesley, Red Deer Rustlers; Gord Thibodeau, Fort Saskatchewan Traders and Corey Hirsch, Calgary Canucks. The 1974–83 list includes Brent Sutter, Red Deer Rustlers; Mark Messier, Spruce Grove Mets; Darryl Sutter, Red Deer Rustlers; Duane Sutter, Red Deer Rustlers; Kelly Kisio, Red Deer Rustlers; Dave Babych, Fort Saskatchewan Traders; Clint Malarchuk, Fort Saskatchewan; Troy Murray, St. Albert Saints; Perry Berezan, St. Albert Saints and Mike Vernon, Calgary Canucks. The first list includes 1964–73 players Brian Sutter, Red Deer; Garry Unger, Calgary Buffaloes; Lanny McDonald, Lethbridge Sugar Kings; John Davidson, Lethbridge Sugar Kings; Stan Weir, Ponoka Stampeders; Paul Messier, Edmonton Mets; Doug Lindskog, Red Deer Rustlers; Tom Lindskog, Red Deer Rustlers; Rick Zaparniuk, Calgary Canucks and Darrell Knibbs, Lethbridge Sugar Kings.

Mowat challenging Empire State Building

Jeanne Anne Mary Hamm

Cathy Mowat will be running up the Empire State Building. By Murray Green

Camrose area runner Cathy Mowat and her sister, Lori Hansen, will be counting the 1,576 steps it takes to climb the Empire State Building in the 37th annual Run Up on Feb. 5 in New York City. “We are participating in the run in memory of our dad Neil Hansen. We are raising money for Multiple Myeloma (cancer) Research Foundation, (MMRF)” explained Cathy. “My individual reason for applying to run in the Empire State Building Run Up is to create more awareness and raise funds.” Cathy trains three times a week every Tuesday to Thursday while her four-year-old is in school and her nine-yearold son has hockey practice. “I am training independently in Camrose while my sister has been training in Calgary,” she said. “I have been specifically running five km at the EnCana track since mid November and doing two circuits up and down the steps, which is about 2,165 steps. I started using the elliptical machine in the gym for added strength in the New Year.” And that is in her spare time. “I also practice roller derby with the women’s Wetaskiwin Rez City Rollers twice a week, so that definitely benefits my cardio training,” said Cathy. “I would have loved to have gained access to an office tower in Edmonton, but it just isn’t feasible driving back and forth. My sister has had access to the 32-storey Stock Exchange Building in Calgary to prepare. I am

hoping to run three circuits in the Stock Exchange Building the weekend before the run just to know what to expect. Running vertically is going to be a whole lot different.” Running in the ultimate uphill race for 86 stories to the top of the world’s most famous skyscraper was launched by Fred Lebow in 1978. The fastest runners climb the 1,576 steps in about 10 minutes to the observation deck, nearly a quarter-mile above Fifth Avenue. Each flight of stairs is between eight and 23 steps. “I am training in memory of my dad and in the process raise at least $2,500 for the MMRF. I took up running in 2009 by signing up with the local running club and trained for a 10 km race over 10 weeks. Four years later, I have run in multiple five and 10 km races and have completed two half marathons,” said Cathy. “Now when I travel, I like to incorporate a run with it. Training for this event is a challenge, but nothing compared to the challenges faced by patients with multiple myeloma.” Cathy first thought of the Empire State Building Run Up after watching the Live with Kelly and Michael show on television when Kelly entered the event in 2013. “I sent her a note via email to the show saying I was in the event this year because she motivated me. She gave us two tickets to the show on the day after the event,” said an excited Cathy. Neil Hansen, died on Dec. 8, 2011 at 67 years of age. Continued on page 30

Gladys Margaret Anne Rhine (nee Mulloy) AKA Ma

CAMROSE & DAYSLAND

August 10, 1928 - January 22, 2014 Having held a tenacious embrace of and on life from early childhood, Margaret released her grip and left us. We are now entrusted to keep our homes, families and communities with the same ethics, commitment, organization, attention to detail and hard work she often demonstrated and demanded from others. She was always interesting and interested in all. Born in Camrose and raised in the tough ways of a farm family, Margaret walked to the one room Heatherbrae schoolhouse for grades 1 through 9. Then to Camrose Lutheran College for high school. In the late 40’s Alberta oil boom, she met a tall, charming, drawling and very polite Texan, L.G. Rhine Jr. They were married in Camrose and both of their two children were born in Camrose. The family lived in the United States for approximately 10 years where Margaret obtained her journeyman’s hairdresser ticket and the family returned to Camrose in 1961. After her children fledged, Margaret went back to school and obtained a Bachelor of Education from the University of Alberta. Unto retirement, Margaret worked nearly every year of her adult life as a bank teller, hairdresser, then high school teacher and three times as the federal constituency returning officer. Concurrently, she was a devoted church and community volunteer for any one or thing that needed or oughta have her critical eye and adept hands. Meanwhile, she was a diligent, vigilant mother, watching over the smallest of every detail that might or better not touch her childrens’ lives! Margaret is survived by: daughter Peggy Rhine (Steve) Shuman, son Ladd Gordon (Marilyn) Rhine; three grandchildren Meghan Kimberley Rhine Roszler, Kathleen Laura Rhine and Travis L.G. Rhine; three step- grandchildren Christine Lenore Shuman Olson, Roy Stephen Shuman and Curtis Roger Shuman; four step greatgrandchildren, Stephanie Dawn Olson, Olivia Ann Shuman, Erich Roy Shuman and Larissa Anne Shuman; sister Ellen Jean Fraser, sister-in-law Eleanor Baumle Mulloy.

Grant attended school at Montrose and Rosalind until he started farming as the third generation on the Lohner farmstead. He had fond memories of growing up on the farm and spending time with friends and cousins. Grant met Shirley at a dance in Camrose and they were married a year later in October 1968. They lived on the farm until moving to Camrose in 1990, where Grant worked as a crop adjuster for a number of years before semi-retiring. Over 45 years of marriage and they were as much in love as when they wed. They enjoyed sunny holidays, camping and fishing, card games and visiting with friends, and being with family.

2014 Ford Explorer Packed full of features

Matt McLeod By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Ford Explorer at Lamb Ford Sales is a vehicle that is packed full of features. Capable The 2014 Explorer structure is strong and supportive – thanks to high-tech materials and advanced forming technology. For starters, the A and B pillars are constructed of high-strength boron steel for greatly increased roof crush strength. The frontend support structure is constructed using a lightweight composite, which matches the lateral stiffness of magnesium while reducing weight. The easy-to-use Intelligent 4WD system is fully automatic, instantly delivering traction to the wheels with the most traction when wheelslip is detected. The Terrain Management System included with the available Intelligent 4WD system allows you to easily shift on the fly into one of four settings to match the terrain in which you are driving. Normal biases torque to the front wheels and sends it to the rear only as needed. Mud/Ruts switches the throttle to a more aggressive mode, limits upshifting and desensitizes stability control, allowing the tires to spin as

needed. Sand throws maximum torque to the wheels, placing the transmission in lower gears for as long as possible, which allows the wheels to spin aggressively. Grass/gravel/snow places the throttle in a setting to minimize wheel grip. Comfort/convenience The Explorer can carry up to seven passengers. The second row features a 60/40 split-fold-bench, while the third row has a 50/50 split-folding seat with generous passenger space. Behind the third row there is up to 595 litres of cargo volume. For cargo space on demand, the second and third rows can fold flat for 2,285 litres of cargo room. The power liftgate can be opened and/or closed by pushing the vehicle key fob or pressing a button located on the instrument panel or on the bottom of the tailgate. Additionally, you can program the extension height of the liftgate, which is useful if you park in a space with a low ceiling. The available Remote Start/Automatic Climate Control system provides a comfortable interior. In hot weather conditions, the cabin is cooled to 22 degrees Celsius. Even the

rear defrost/heated mirrors will be activated. Performance The standard 3.5 litre twin independent variable camshaft timing V6 engine in the Explorer can be easily described in two words: no compromise. It delivers an impressive 290 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft. of torque. That means you have the power for merging, accelerating and pulling a trailer. The available 2.0 litre EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine combines two different technologies – turbochargiing and twin independent variable cam timing – to deliver the performance of a much larger engine. It churns out 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 270 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. With towing capacity of up to 2,268 kg when properly equipped, the Explorer can haul a boat, camper or trailer. The Class III Trailer Tow package required for towing includes an engine oil cooler and wiring harness. Technology Curve Control will slow you down as much as 16 kmph a second if it senses you are going too fast for a particular curve. Employing throttle reduction and four-wheel braking inter-

vention, it’s always active in helping you maintain control around the curves. Additionally, it can function on dry or wet pavement and is expected to be particularly useful when entering or exiting freeway off- or on-ramps with too much speed. A lane-keeping alert warns you through haptic feedback (a series of steering wheel vibrations that mimic a rumble strip) should the system detect an unintentional lane departure. A lane keeping aid actively applies steering torque which directs your vehicle back into the target lane should the system detect an unintended lane departure. The available BLIS with cross-traffic alert uses sensors in the rear quarter panels to monitor your blind spot and will illuminate an alert display on the appropriate exterior mirror if another vehicle is detected there before changing lanes. Adaptive cruise control functions similarly to cruise control but with one exception. When its sensors detect traffic slowing, your vehicle also slows down to maintain your pre-selected gap setting from the car in front. After traffic

has cleared, your vehicle resumes its preset speed. Collision warning with brake support will alert you if it senses a potential collision with the car in front of you. A heads-up display, which simulates brake lights, flashes on the windshield. If you don’t react in time, the brakes will precharge and increase brake-assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you brake. The available rear view camera provides a video image on the centre console screen of the area behind your vehicle. The screen has guides and a zoom feature that help you align your vehicle with a trailer when you want to tow. The available voiceactivated navigation system provides turn-by-turn directions, giving you your choice of fastest, shortest and another option – EcoRoute. In this mode, the navigation system instantly calculates the most fuelefficient route and can help you achieve better fuel economy. You can see the 2014 Ford Explorer at Lamb Ford Sales, 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780672-2411 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Ag Minister unveils new program By Dan Jensen

A Western Livestock Price Insurance Program pilot was unveiled by Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz at the Canadian Bull Congress Jan. 24. Starting this spring, livestock producers in the four western provinces will be able to purchase insurance to protect their businesses against unexpected drops in prices that go beyond their control. “This historic initiative is a great example of collaboration among federal and provincial governments and industry to strengthen risk management options for producers,” said Minister Ritz. “Our government will continue to work closely with the provinces and industry to ensure producers have access to the tools they need to grow their businesses and our overall economy.” Producers will be able to select from a range of coverage and policy options. Indemnity payments will be made to producers if the settlement price is less than the insured price. Premiums will be fully funded by producers. The new program expands on the Alberta model, which was introduced for fed cattle in 2009 but then broadened to include feeder cattle, calves and market hogs, covering price and basis risks. Alberta’s Agriculture Financial Services Corporation will be the central administrative body for the program, using its expertise with ones already in existence to maximize administrative efficien-

cies, thereby allowing for a rapid implementation of the expansion to the rest of the Western provinces. Federal and provincial governments will cover administration and delivery costs for the pilot through the Growing Forward 2 AgriRisk Initiatives – Administrative Capacity Building stream – which provides assistance for the implementation of new risk management tools. Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson said it was clear in discussions with other ag ministers on the Growing Forward 2 program that producers needed more tools to mitigate risk. “When we look around as governments trying to find ways that we can support you (producers), the announcement that we are

making today is a great example of what we can do.” Martin Unrau, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said the program gives more producers access to a solid tool to manage price and basis risk, one of the more unpredictable aspects of managing an operation. “Market-based risk management is key to better managing volatility. If we don’t have the things in place, the tools in place for guys to come up behind us when we move off into retirement we are not successful in our industry. This (program) will help us as cattlemen today to make sure we get the best interest rates on the loans that we make, because we now have a poor price on what we can expect for the price of our cattle when we move them forward.”

Hockey Vikings drop two games to SAIT Trojans By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings out shot the first place SAIT Trojans 31-22, but were on the wrong end of a 5-1 score in Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference play on Jan. 17. “It just seemed like we were not getting the bounces and we controlled the play for 40 to 45 minutes. In the 15 minutes we gave them they capitalized on their chances,” said Mathew Foster, who was tied with teammate Dane Bonish in fifth place in the scoring race with 23 points. “It seemed like we just couldn’t buy a goal. We had a lot more scoring opportunities, but they got the bounces.” SAIT scored first before Dane Bonish connected on his 13th of the season with help from Mitchell Gartner. The Trojans scored on their chances in the game and pulled away in the second and third periods. Goalie Joel Danyluk stopped 17 of 22 shots sent his way. Former Camrose Kodiak netminder Brayden Hopfe turned away 30 of 31

shots and was the difference in the game. “We just have to bear down in practice and get used to going into areas you don’t want to go to because when we play teams like SAIT and NAIT that is what you have to do,” added Mathew. “We have to work on finishing our chances.” SAIT played a solid game the next night in Calgary and shut down the Vikings 3-0. Augustana goalie Andy Williams stopped 30 of 33 shots, while Hopfe was perfect on the 30 he faced. “It’s an eye opener for us to be ready after games against weaker teams. We have to make that transition to a higher level of hockey quicker. We need to elevate our game,” explained Mathew. “We have to work hard for 60 minutes. We got away with playing 30 minutes against a weaker team. You can’t do that against teams that are higher in the standings.” SAIT also blocked a lot of shots in the two games.

“We were still getting our chances, which is better than not getting any chances. It’s just a matter of working hard and being better prepared against the strong teams,” said Mathew. Augustana hosts Grant MacEwan on Jan. 29, NAIT on Feb. 5 and Portage on Feb. 22 before closing out the regular season against Concordia on March 1. Basketball

The women’s basketball Vikings earned two victories to give them first place in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference standings. Augustana defeated Briercrest 90-66 and beat Medicine Hat 75-59 by continuing the trend of producing strong first half games. Taryn Story led the Vikings in scoring with 26 points and Sydney Purdy netted 15 in support against Briercrest. It was Kari Kubinec’s turn to lead the offence against Medicine Hat and she recorded 23 points. Taryn backed her up with 18 points. On the men’s side, the

Vikings split two games. They dropped a tough 85-77 decision to Briercrest, but rebounded to silence the Rattlers 97-66. Lee Danderfer was on fire in the second game as he notched 46 points against the snake-bitten Medicine Hat squad. Josh Nichol added 12 points for the Vikings. Lee scored 21 points and Josh added 18 in the loss to Briercrest. Augustana is at home against Lakeland on Feb. 7 and finishes the regular season on Feb. 15 with Grant MacEwan in our city. Volleyball

The women’s team hasn’t earned a win over the last two weekends as clubs juggle for playoff spots. Augustana lost in four games in the first match and three straight in the second outing to the powerful Red Deer squad. Keri Alcorn led the team with 11 kills, while Catherine Laskosky dug out 23 digs on the first night. Laura Kvemshagen

recorded eight kills while three players had six digs. The men’s team also played four games the first night and three the second against the undefeated Red Deer Kings. Luke Ryan led the Vikings with 16 kills, while Thomas Regier chalked up 11 digs in the match played in Camrose. In the away match, Andrew Kaliel and Cole McCartney led with eight kills each. Regier led with 13 digs. Augustana is home to Briercrest on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 and closes out the regular season with the Kings Eagles here on Feb. 8. The games begin at 6 for the women and 8 p.m. for the men, except on Feb. 1 when the games start at 1 and 3 p.m. Curling

The Augustana Vikings are at NAIT for the Winter Regional bonspiel Jan. 31 to Feb. 2. Augustana women’s and men’s teams are currently 3-1, while the mixed team sits at 2-2.

Continued from page 4 Councillor Hoveland said it is important to remember that the Bailey plays an important role in the community and that the City subsidizes many other things that provide service, entertainment and recreation. “When we look at the swimming pool we subsidize that by $50,000 per month. We subsidize the golf course by a huge amount every year. These are all elective choices that people make for their free dollars, the dollars that they choose to spend on entertainment.” Councillor Max Lindstrand said he sees the Bailey as an asset, not a liability to the community. “There has been a lot of money invested in upgrading it to the point where it is, and every concert I have gone to the performers always say what a wonderful facility it is in terms of acoustics and performance. I agree with councillor Hoveland that this is a quality of life issue. Much of what we do is provide quality of life opportunities for our citizens and I think this is in that category.” Lindstrand said he is interested in seeing what synergies can happen between the Bailey and the new performing arts centre. “I think it would be a disaster to just turn a blind eye and let it close its doors and be mothballs, because it would be very difficult to resurrect it at a future time in my view.” Councillor Greg Wood questioned whether the residents of Camrose are interested enough in keeping the Bailey open. He said the city or town of Nelson, B.C. went through a similar thing as Camrose in trying to keep its theatre open and the theatre society there has 2,000 members who pay membership fees of $325 per year. “Why don’t we have that in Camrose? I think we need to throw this back at the community if there is that much community support. I don’t think council should take the Bailey on its shoulders and feel that we have to keep it running.” Wood added he would not support the idea of committing operating dollars to the Bailey. “Maybe by having a new artistic director in place they can have an answer in the next year. Perhaps they can salvage themselves. I am not sure.” Mayer said council should request the Bailey Theatre Society provide an updated plan as to what it intends to do in the com-

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

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

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

Canada’s 150th anniversary, I encourage Albertans to let our Government know how they want to celebrate Canada’s history, values, and traditions,” said Rick Dykstra, Member of Parliament and parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage. “Canada’s 150th anni-

versary will give us the opportunity to reflect on all the things that make Canada the united, prosperous, and free country it is today,” said Shelly Glover, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. “I invite all Albertans to tell us how they would like to celebrate.”

Central Agencies Home of the Week HomeShare Project connects generations Family friendly home in West Park Submitted

HomeShare is a program for the mutual benefit of both seniors and post-secondary students. The program matches “home-sharers” – seniors – with “home-seekers”– post-secondary students. Seniors can benefit from having a younger person living with them who may contribute to support, companionship and/or assistance identified by the senior for four to 10 hours per week. The student will benefit from this program by having affordable housing with rent being between $200 and $400 per month, and a relationship with an older adult. Home Share is not a rental agreement, but rather sharing your house for an affordable cost in exchange for services. Camrose has a great potential for this program to flourish with its large elderly population and a growing, thriving university. This program could bring these groups together to form a stronger community. Services a student may offer a senior could vary from helping with laundry, shoveling snow and/or mowing grass, computer instructions, garbage removal, house cleaning, and doing errands such as getting groceries or mail. A HomeShare staff person facilitates the application and matching process to ensure the best fit. A screening process begins after an application is filled out. During this process, all applicants will meet with the HomeShare staff for an interview. This interview will help the staff assess the applicant’s suitability to the program and to match approved individuals based on their needs and compatibility. Once a suitable match is found the two applicants are introduced. Ultimately it is the applicant’s decision to accept the match and move forward. Throughout this entire application process both the student and senior are able to back out. To ensure safety and decrease risks, all applicants complete an in-person interview and home seekers must provide three references and a current criminal record check. HomeShare staff will also conduct a home check to confirm the senior has a suitable room for a student. The student must be provided with their own private room plus access and use of a kitchen, bathroom, and living area. A HomeShare agreement form is signed by both parties after completing a walk-through of the home and an agreement on expectation and responsibilities. This project is under research as a joint project of Camrose Home Support, Family Violence Action Society and Charlynn Ness, a student of the Augustana campus Community Service Learning program. The goal is to determine whether there are sufficient local seniors and students interested in participating in order to develop the program. Students and seniors are invited to complete a survey that will help measure interest. The surveys are available at www.camrosefcss.ca or at the offices of Camrose and District Support Services, located in Camrose Community Centre and Service Options for Seniors, #102, 4909A-48 Street. For more information on HomeShare call Sheralyn or Maria at 780-672-0141.
