City to test traffic calming

By Murray Green

City council has agreed to test a series of barricades in an effort to slow down the traffic counts in the 49 and 50 Avenue areas.

The test will determine if a more permanent solution like creating culde-sacs would be needed to eliminate short-cutting through residential streets.

Barricades will be set up between approximately May 1 and the end of the year.

“The traffic counts are accurate. Administration agrees that it meets or exceeds the amount of volume for residential roadways,” said Wayne Franklin, infrastructure and planning manager. “We don’t have a policy on what to do if they exceed limits.

The streets function like a collector roadway. As there are no other designated collector roadways between the golf course and 48 Avenue, drivers appear to use 49 and 50 Avenue to travel between their various origins and destinations. This is much like how water flows downhill along the path or paths of least resistance.”

With no road going from downtown to the golf course, or to the west end shopping area, the natu-

ral flow is to go through a residential area.

“In addition to the traffic calming options, another option City council may wish to consider is to recognize the natural flow of traffic through the area and to redevelop the existing roadways to create a more typical collector roadway in the West Grandview area,” Franklin reported. “This option would likely involve some combination of parking bans along adjacent roadways, property acquisition to straighten out some of the sharp turns that drivers must take, and/or physically widening some of the roadways. This would create a more direct route between 66 Street and Grand Drive, which would allow local and non-local traffic to travel between their points of origin and destination more effectively.”

Pushing the traffic to 48 Avenue would increase the traffic by 1,000 vehicles a day.

“That would decrease the life of the avenue by about five years,” said Franklin.

“We have to consider that we are shortening the life of 48 Avenue.”

A system of barricades would give the City time to monitor the traffic flows.

“A comment was made

by one councillor of the possibility of installing barricades near the locations of the proposed cul-de-sacs,” said Franklin. “While this option was initially dismissed by both the presenters and administration, administration believes that there may actually be merit on implementing this option on a trial basis. This option could be implemented in a very short time frame at a relatively low cost to the City, and would allow the City and local residents to see how the road restrictions would actually function prior to proceeding with any permanent improvements.”

Engineer manager Jeremy Enarson said the traffic will still want to get to the service road in front of the police and RCMP stations.

“The cost factors that are spelled out are more than what could be considered at this stage Because of the budgeting process. I think this (barricade system) will give us an opportunity to examine it and give relief to the traffic situation,” said Mayor Norm Mayer.

Councillor Bill Sears said he was in favour of calming measures, rather than stopping traffic.

AUPE workers rally to protect government pension

By Murray Green Frontline public employees rallied in front of Covenant Health St. Mary’s Camrose and the Rosehaven Care Centre on Thursday, March 20, to defend their modest pensions against the significant cuts being imposed by former Premier Alison Redford and the provincial government.

Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE), which represents St. Mary’s Hospital, Rosehaven Care Centre and the Bethany Group, had about 50 members braving the cold weather with signs that asked for change.

“Camrose has a large number of people that are affected by Local Authorities Pension Plan (LAPP), changes that are recommended by the PC government, as well as Public Service Pension Plan PSPP,” said Carrie-Lynn Ruznak, AUPE vicepresident. “You come into these professions knowing that pensions are part of your employment contract and what you agreed upon. For them to go ahead and make changes without even talking to any of these people directly is unfair.

Camrose members decided they wanted to be a part of the rally.”

Rallies occurred in 28 sites in Camrose, Red Deer, Edmonton, St. Albert, Calgary, Hinton, Fort McMurray, Medicine Hat, Lethbridge,

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

AUPE workers rallied in front of Rosehaven Care Centre and St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose March 20 to show their displeasure with the government’s proposed pension cuts.

Peace River and Grande Prairie less than 24 hours after the premier stepped down.

“I believe what Alison Redford did was in the best interest of the PC party, but I think it’s not just one person. The whole party is involved and they are responsible for dealing with our front line workers in Alberta,” said Ruznak. “Bills 45 and 46 affect our pensions and

there are going to have to be major changes in the party in order to re-establish a relationship with the front line workers.”

In addition, informal smaller-scale activities were expected near many other public-sector worksites throughout the province on the same day.

Ruznak said the PC government stopped listening to the people of Alberta.

“It’s hard when they

get up in the legislature and they said they have had discussions with stakeholders and these are the recommendations they want to come forward, when in fact the stakeholders are the front line workers who have had no say. Whether it is health care or education they (the government) are not talking to the front line workers who are the ones affected.”

AUPE is looking for positive moves.

“I hope we can move forward with this government and re-establish relations to be where we need to be as a province,” Ruznak concluded. “I can’t tell people who to vote for, but this province is in desperate need for change after 42 or 43 years. Who knows what that will look like in 2016.”

Minister Olson happy with new endowment for agriculture

By Dan Jensen

The announcement in the 2014 provincial budget of a $200 million endowment within the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund for food and innovation was good news for Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson.

“It’s going to provide an additional amount of money to build our research capacity, develop new types of seed, and showcase our exciting products,” said Olson.

The fund will also help the government provide producers with the tools they need to manage risk.

“We want to give people who farm the ability to protect themselves instead of not having any protection and then relying on the government to send them a cheque if something goes wrong,” said Olson.

“It is consistent with a movement that we have seen not just in Alberta but across the country.”

Olson told the Agriculture Research and Extension council after the budget announcement that if Alberta is to remain a global leader in

Verlyn Olson

agriculture it needs to look to the future.

“Applied research,” he said, “allows us to test new crop varieties and techniques to ensure that we are meeting the needs of producers across the country.”

University of Alberta president Indira Samarasekera said in a blog that the Agriculture and Food Innovation endowment is very good news and strong recognition of the role that research has historically played in the

development of one of the province’s most important industries.

“This new endowment will enable U of A researchers to expand and deepen collaborations with partners in Campus Alberta, government, industry, and rural communities to help provide solutions and generate future growth in Alberta’s agriculture and food sectors.”

Olson said the creation of the agriculture endowment comes from many discussions that he and Minister of Finance Doug Horner have had with Albertans over the past year.

“There have always been questions when we have talked about the heritage fund about what we are going to do with the money we are saving. The message we have received is that Albertans want us to save for a specific purpose.”

Olson defended the government’s decision to borrow for money for capital projects now at four per cent rather than cash in heritage fund investments that are currently earning 11 per cent.

“Albertans are not against borrowing for long term capital because the

benefit goes to not only today’s taxpayers but those taxpayers a generation or two down the road. I think it is very responsible for us to borrow for the infrastructure we need now. We need to consider the fact that the costs of building a school or a hospital or a highway are escalating every year. If you sit back and wait everything becomes more expensive.”

The government intends to borrow $5.1 billion this year for schools, health facilities and roads, pushing the government’s total debt to $14.5 billion, an amount that will grow to $21.6 billion over the next three years. Servicing the debt will cost the province $421 million this year, climbing to $820 million in 2017.

Funding for Alberta Health is budgeted at $18.3 billion, an increase of over $600 million or 3.6 per cent from 2013-14 (excluding flood recovery initiatives).

Of every dollar in health funding 78 cents comes from Alberta’s general revenues, 20 cents comes from the Government of Canada, and two

cents comes from the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research Endowment Fund, the Alberta Cancer Prevention Legacy Fund and other revenue sources.

Alberta Health Services (AHS) will receive $10.7 billion in base operating funding – an increase of $210 million or two per cent from 2013-14 for the delivery of health services across the province.

The allocation for prescription drugs, ambulance services, Alberta Aids to Daily Living and other health benefits for Albertans is $1.5 billion – a decrease of $90 million, or 5.7 per cent from 2013-14.

Funding for Primary Health Care, Addictions and Mental Health will increase by $94 million to $326 million. A total of $967 million has been budgeted for Supports to Persons with Disabilities, which aids more than 10,000 adults with developmental disabilities, provides family support for children with disabilities, and provides support for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder initiatives.

MAXIMUM

GOLF into Swing Indoor g Sprin School Golf

Indoor Training Program 2014 In

Maximum Golf is a group-based golf training and conditioning program meant to prepare golfers for the season ahead and increase one’s ability to swing more efficiently through the ball. This program is based on the repetition of a concise set of drills that allow you to practice without requiring the use of a golf ball. These drills teach you how to swing more efficiently and with better swing mechanics. Feeling is very important to this teaching method, proven for over 30 years.

In 2014, this program will be taught in a two-week (4 sessions) condensed format. Given that people live very busy lifestyles, coupled with others who like to take a winter vacation, we understand that making a commitment to a program which lasts several weeks is too difficult. The condensed format offers a wealth of skills, without being too difficult to fit into one’s schedule. To avoid disappointment, you are encouraged to book early in this extremely popular program.

BILL PENNY – C.P.G.A. Master Golf Professional has been teaching Maximum Golf since the mid-’80s to over 2,500 students.

Now available to the Camrose golfing community.

“If you stop the traffic, it will go somewhere else. I don’t like the idea of blocking off the streets. I don’t think that is council’s role. My concern is that the traffic will go up to Victoria Park and 54 Avenue and then we will have the same concerns up there. Then what do we do? We have traffic departments to make these decisions to move traffic safely and effectively,” said Sears.

City to test traffic calming Continued from page 2

Scott Berkholtz

Realtor/Co-owner 780.608.3237

“I like the motion because it allows us the opportunity to see if this is going to work or not,” said councillor Wayne Throndson. “We haven’t agreed to construct a permanent cul-de-sac at this point in time. It is a temporary solution to see if it works.”

The total estimated cost for the full rebuilding of the West Grandview area is just over $2.1 million.

As this alternate option

Councillor Agnes Hoveland said the City needs to come up with a bigger traffic and transportation plan, rather than dealing with calming and traffic concerns.

BRSD trustees approve assessment recommendations Diane Hutchinson, communications,coordinator, BRSD

The Battle River School Division Board of Trustees approved four recommendations at its March 20 meeting, regarding student assessment and grading practices in local high schools.

It is the board’s intention that these recommendations address concerns raised by members of the community about how some high schools are recording and reporting student marks.

The recommendations state: #1 That the superintendent direct all high school (Grade 10, 11 and 12) marks be first derived and recorded as numeric data, effective September 2014. On report cards, overall grades will be reported as percentages and also as alpha levels. #2 That the superintendent revise Administrative Procedure 360 to reflect these recommendations. #3 That the superintendent directs that important aspects of student assessment (including but not limited to clear learning targets, rich descriptive feedback, curriculum aligned assessment and outcome based recording of evidence) continue to be communicated, developed, supported and implemented from Kindergarten to Gr. 12. This will ensure Battle River remains consistent with Alberta’s Teaching Quality Standard, Alberta Education’s requirements, the Inspiring Education outcomes and student assessment research. #4 That the superintendent work with the Student Assessment Recommendations Committee to ensure that #3 is carried out across the Division. This would include students, staff, parents, community and trustees.

In the words of board chair Kendall Severson, the trustees hope that moving forward with these recommendations will allow BRSD to put the issue of student assessment and grading behind them.

“I believe these recommendations address the main concerns that have been raised. Battle River will implement these changes and hopefully the community will be pleased with what we’re doing,” Mr. Severson stated. “Ultimately, I hope we can move away from this focus on assessment and get back to a focus on celebrating all the good things that are happening in our school division every day.”

While I am concerned about being perceived as this column’s serial eulogizer, I could not let the recent passing of legendary American folk singer Pete Seeger go by without comment. Seeger was a musician who wrote and performed music for most of the last eighty years, and around whom has grown a nearly-impenetrable mythology. There’s nothing inherently wrong with mythologizing musicians; it has been going on for centuries—since Beethoven, at least—and is an important and interesting aspect of music history.

It is also important, however, to avoid fulsome eulogizing and to make some effort to get beyond the myth, in order to address the life and music of an important figure like Seeger in a reasonable and balanced manner.

This need for a balanced, holistic approach to Pete Seeger stems from the fact that he was clearly a complex and curious guy.

While he garnered a richlydeserved reputation as a folk music legend, as a man-ofthe-people, and friend to the working class, it was also the case that Seeger came from an upper middle class background, that he was educated in the Ivy League, and that at least some of his knowledge of folk music was, dare we say, academic (Seeger served an apprenticeship with the great ethnomusicologist and folklorist Alan Lomax). This is not to diminish Seeger as a folk singer and composer; rather, it is just to say that people, and history are complicated.

There is no question that Seeger was a hugely influential figure. The elder statesman of the America folk music revival, Seeger worked tirelessly to promote the musical legacy of Woody Guthrie, to celebrate and preserve the roots of American folk music, and to effect positive political and social change through his songs. Seeger’s music directly influenced genera-

R.I.P. Pete Seeger Alex Carpenter, Music, Augustana Campus, University of Alberta

tions of musicians, including some of the most important singer-songwriters of the latter half of the 20th century, from Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Bruce Springsteen to John Mellencamp, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Cockburn and Billy Bragg. Seeger sang traditional folk tunes, but also wrote songs that blended the folk idiom with contemporary socio-political concerns, songs that heralded the plight of the worker and the common man, that spoke out against racial inequality, economic disparity and poverty, war, and the destruction of the environment. Seeger was a prolific songwriter, an indefatigable performer, an ardent spokesman for social justice, and a folk music legend.

There is also, however, a darker side to Seeger.

In the decades preceding the Second World War, Seeger—as only a handful of postmortem editorials have observed—was not merely a union supporter or anodyne socialist, but rather something of a shill for the American Communist Party, a Stalinist, and an admirer of the Soviet regime. He was later criticized for his failure to openly disavow the Stalin-

ist Soviet system: it wasn’t until the 1990s that Seeger offered what David Graham has called a “terse and grudging” admission that he had made a mistake in not recognizing the evils of Stalinism sooner. Demonstrating an impressive ability for understatement, Seeger allowed that Stalin was a “cruel misleader,” and instead of having offering unctuous praise for the literacy of Russian society— “My gosh, it sure is a bookreading country”—Seeger said he should have asked to see the gulags during a visit to Russia in the 1960s.

While he was surely not “Stalin’s Songbird,” as Michael Moynihan has hyperbolically asserted, I would argue that Seeger’s mealy-mouthed dismissal of his political pedigree—“let’s move forward”—is not the mea culpa it should have been, and it would be unfortunate if the shady passages in Seeger’s life and work were whitewashed as he passes into history.

In the end, Pete Seeger’s reputation as a musician has remained largely untarnished by his political peccadillos; if anything, I’d say that he gained credibility as an artist and activist by virtue of having been questioned and ultimately prosecuted during Joe McCarthy’s anti-communist purges of the 1950s. Seeger’s political skeletons are not the whole story by any means, and to fixate on them— especially at the expense of Seeger’s contributions as a musician and songwriter— is to badly obscure the bigger picture. On the other hand, overlooking Seeger’s miscues and simply engaging in mindless adulation —David Suzuki’s likening of Seeger to Nelson Mandela, for instance—serves us equally poorly as we try to take the full measure of an important man and the wealth of music he has left behind.

Former dean embraces new role at Augustana Posted on the Augustana website by Christopher Thrall

Former Political Studies professor and inaugural Dean of Augustana Campus, Dr. Roger Epp, has accepted the position of viceprovost (academic) with the University of Alberta.

“It means that I have to pull back from classroom teaching, which is hard,” said Roger. “I’m grateful to have had that experience and I am determined to maintain meaningful contact with students.”

Since he stepped down as Augustana’s dean in 2011, Dr. Epp has served as a professor and, for several months, interim chair in the

Department of Political Science in the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Arts.

Roger has also filled up his time in other ways.

“I’ve happily taken up my share of dinner preparations,” he says, “spent longer and shorter times as an academic visitor at the University of North Carolina, Asheville, and Peking University in China, co-edited the book Roads Taken, and returned successfully to teaching – including everything from an intro class to PhD supervision.”

Roger Epp received his PhD from Queen’s University and in 1990 joined Augustana University Col-

lege in Camrose. He helped navigate AUC’s merger with the University of Alberta and became the founding dean of Augustana Campus in 2004. Under his leadership, Augustana opened a new library; expanded its commitment to community service-learning, undergraduate research, and study abroad opportunities; worked with other faculties to create ruralfocussed degree options in Camrose in education, nursing, and physiotherapy; and was accepted as the first Canadian member-campus of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges.

According to Provost Dr. Carl Amrhein, Roger’s focus as vice-provost (academic) will be on implementing portions of the academic staff ’s renaissance committee recommendations on many of the university’s core academic and administrative functions and systems.

“Other duties are yet to be fully determined but may involve centres and institutes and our northern strategy,” Dr. Amrhein continues.

“I expect to have lots to learn in the new portfolio,” Roger says. “I want to bring my commitments

to students, to the university’s public mission, and to its multi-campus identity – having now had the privilege to work with good people on two of them – to some new situations in effective ways.”

“Kudos to the provost,” says Augustana Dean Dr. Allen Berger. “This is brilliant decision. I am particularly pleased because Roger will bring an understanding of what it means to be a multi-campus university – inclusive of our own residential, undergraduate, liberal arts and sciences campus – to his varied work in this new position.”

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, March 25, 2014 – Page 12

Q.

Why choose hardwood?

A.

The flooring that’s beautiful by nature.

Hardwood’s beauty and character grow on you. Today’s offerings are milled and finished using techniques that result in much lower maintenance than in years past. So you get the character you want for your home in flooring that’s designed to stay looking great for years.

Hardwood is a natural.

The natural grains, knots and imperfections of hardwood are true to nature and lend your home a warm, authentic flavor that will impress you for years.

Fill your home with character as you prepare to fill it with memories.

Versatile hardwood.

Hardwood sets an indelible tone throughout the home that is time-honored and true. From the warm, pale tones of southern yellow pine to the deep, dark chocolate of black walnut, there are many species of hardwood to choose from. One of them is sure to resonate with you.

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.

Q.

Why does your typical patient come to you for Acupuncture treatment?

A:

In two words – pain relief. We have had great success treating conditions for which other therapies have not been satisfactory or successful.

The biggest fear for patients is the perception that acupuncture is painful. We use high quality, one use sterile needles which are as small as a human hair, most do not even know they have been put in. Most find our treatments quite enjoyable. There are no negative side effects from acupuncture.

This 5,000-year-old practice is changing our patients’ quality of life every day. People from all over Alberta come to our office for treatment. Acupuncture combined with acupressure, massage, gives us positive results for pain from injury, chronic conditions, headaches, sciatica, sinusitus, to name a few. It is also effective for digestive issues, sleep disturbance and fertility problems.

Challenging health problems? Try acupuncture, we are now accepting new patients.

Q. A:

Why is Europe such a popular summer travel destination?

Every vacationer, whether a novice or extremely well-travelled, finds plenty to remember and cherish on a trip to Europe. Europe can be a throwback in time as you visit quaint mountain villages in Switzerland or historic landmarks in England. Or, it can be cosmopolitan shopping and unforgettable nightlife as you visit some of the most renowned cities in the world.

If London, Amsterdam or Frankfurt isn’t on your bucket list, ocean-side destinations in Greece and Spain offer world-class beaches and seaside resorts.

When it comes to dining, variety is the key word.

Whether it’s pizza like you’ve never tasted before, direct from real brick ovens in Italy, or sandwiches from freshly-made bread in Austria or exquisite dining in Paris, there is something for every budget.

Europe is a continent you can easily experience on a budget with low cost travel on high speed trains.

You can see many of your chosen sites on remarkable river cruises. Or allow us to arrange a fully escorted, eye-opening guided tour for you so that you take advantage of all Europe has to offer.

Europe – make sure you get there at least once!

Hus hits Bailey Theatre with foot-stompin’ country music

By Murray Green

Tim Hus knows where Camrose is when he sets his GPS system. After all, he has played at the Big Valley Jamboree on a couple of occasions.

Hus, known to many as the next generation of Stompin’ Tom Connors music, will be performing at the Bailey Theatre on Friday, March 28 for an 8 p.m. show.

“I’m really looking forward to our show at the Bailey Theatre. It’s our first time at the Bailey and I have heard nothing but good things about the venue,” said Tim as his band was travelling through Saskatchewan.

“We have been meaning to play there for quite a while.

I’m happy we can finally do that. I like playing small towns (and cities) and have made a career of it. Camrose is a nice place. One of my former band members has family from around Camrose (New Norway), so we always tried to play that area. Playing at the Big Valley Jamboree is always a big show and a good time.”

The proud Canadian (and Albertan) and the Rocky Mountain Duo (Riley Tubbs and Billy McInnis)

will join a very entertaining live show. Tim’s songs, as well as the conversations and jokes in between the songs, offer a full concert experience. Right from the opening song you will notice that Tim loves to entertain and enjoys his audiences.

The songwriter and storyteller shares stories about driving trucks, hunting dogs, fishing for bass, potash mining and the Church of Country Music.

Going from the BVJ stage to the Bailey doesn’t matter to Tim. “The approach and delivery is a little different, but it is the same songs. We have always been a versatile band and adapt to playing any venue. It is exciting for

us to play a variety of venues and places,” he added.

“We play at big concerts and right down to playing in someone’s backyard.”

On the cover of Western Star, his latest album, he is wrapped in a leather coat with wolf fur trim. He may not always be politically correct, but he is a guy who tells it like it is through his experience as a beer truck driver, a saw hand, a salmon farmer, a tree planter, a cabinetmaker and a well driller.

The album reflects his stories and experiences from across the country.

Throughout his six albums, each region in Canada has a different favourite song.

“In Alberta, one of the most popular songs is called ‘Hurting Albertans’ that I co-wrote with Corb Lund,” said Tim who has lived in Calgary for the last 11 years.

A smile comes to his face when people compare him to country legend Stompin’ Tom Connors.

“I just wanted to meet him. Then I was lucky enough to go on two national tours as Tom’s opening artist and in his backup band,” said Tim. “I have a similar style about writing songs

about working Canadians and local history. Tom said he would pass the torch to me one day and now that he is gone, I’m carrying the torch.”

With his Canadiana travelling’ band, he brings his music to small town community halls, major international festivals, and just about every truck stop in between.

“I enjoy the large crowds, but I also like small intimate crowds that you can share the stories with,” he added.

“I feel fortunate to be able to travel across the country.

By singing about an area, it joins people together.”

Western Star is Tim’s fourth album of original songs. It was recorded in Nashville and produced by Harry Stinson.

Stinson, who has worked with dozens of major artists, including Steve Earle, Trisha Yearwood, Ian Tyson and Corb Lund, Kieran Kane, and Kevin Welch, brought in an A-list of veteran musicians. Guests on Western Star include Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart, Lucinda Williams, Tim O’Brien, Rodney Crowell, Kim Richey), Hank Singer

(George Jones), Wanda Vick (Wild Rose, Lynn Anderson, Porter Wagoner), and Chris Scruggs (the surname needs no introduction) who added some stellar lap steel to a couple of tunes. Fans of acoustic and bluegrass music will be pleased to hear that Glen Duncan made guest appearances throughout the album on banjo (a former member of Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys), and Tim Graves on dobro (nephew of Uncle Josh Graves – the dobro player for Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys).

Last but not least Kayton Roberts (a member of Hank Snow’s legendary Rainbow Ranch Boys) added a Nova Scotia touch with a steel guitar solo.

Tim is looking forward to standing on many stages over the next year, promoting his latest material right across Canada and beyond.

“Each song I have is popular is different parts of the country because I tend to write about experiences in Canadian places. I like to share Canada through songs that people can relate too. I follow Tom’s style because he was the best at it.”

Q.

Dividends: A Good Source of Income

A:

How would you like to add both income and growth potential to your investment portfolio?

Consider dividend-paying stocks.

Dividends are the portion of profits that companies pay out to shareholders. Typically larger, well-established companies pay dividends – usually quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

While stocks are inherently more risky than conservative, interest-generating investments, sticking to dividend-paying shares of quality blue chip companies can help you manage that risk. Plus, when you invest in dividend-paying stocks, you have the option to reinvest your dividend income, potentially boosting your portfolio’s performance over time.

There are also tax breaks for dividend income derived from Canadian corporations.

The dividend tax credit reduces the income tax you pay. And if shares appreciate in value, you’re eligible for reduced taxes on capital gains when you eventually sell your shares.

For more information, please consult your tax advisor.

Q. A:

I have scheduled a hearing test.

What should I expect?

M Many adults have not had a hearing test since ggrade school. Today’s hearing examinations aare designed to identify and diagnose even m mild hearing loss. After gathering a health h h h history, the hearing specialist will conduct an ear exam with an otoscope to check for obstructions, infections or other medical conditions that might affect hearing. If there is no medical reason for hearing loss, the hearing specialist will perform a series if tests, including an audiogram, to discover the cause of any hearing problem.

The following list of questions may be helpful in gathering information 1. What kind of hearing loss do I have?

2. Is it medically treatable?

3. Should I see a medical specialist for my condition?

4. What are the results of my hearing tests?

5. Are there specific frequencies or types of sound that I have more trouble with than others?

6. Will I receive a copy of my audiogram and other test results?

7. What are my treatment options?

8. Is there anything I can do on my own to hear better?

9. Can I prevent further hearing loss?

We encourage everyone to be alert to any signs of hearing loss in themselves or loved ones, and take the necessary steps to avoid further loss in the future.

Q.

What qualifies as eligible medical expenses on your tax return?

A:

Some common medical expenses that can be claimed are: prescribed medications and vaccines, dental expenses, dentures, hearing aids, prescription eye glasses and contact lenses, laser eye surgery, eye exams, wheelchairs and walkers (when prescribed) and premiums paid to health insurance plans.

Another commonly missed expense is travel costs. If an equivalent medical treatment is not available closer, mileage for travel greater than 40km (one way) is an eligible expense. A claim for mileage can be calculated based on CRA’s rate of 51.5¢ per km. You should keep documentation to support appointment dates and location.

If you had to travel over 80km (one way) you can also claim meal and parking expenses. If applicable, you may be able to claim the costs of accommodations.

When claiming medical expenses, you can only claim the portion of expenses that you did not receive reimbursement for from a health plan or other program. As well, keep in mind that only the amount of medical expenses that exceed the lesser of $2152 or 3% of your taxable income can be claimed.

“I have been privileged to work alongside Jim Flaherty and to call him a friend. It has been a true honour to see him steer our economy through turbulent waters and bring the budget back towards balance. When travelling across Canada during this past year’s pre-budget consultations, I saw firsthand how widely respected Jim Flaherty is as a steady hand on the tiller. We thank him for his global economic leadership, deep work ethic and his commitment to always do the right thing for Canadians. On behalf of Darlene and our children, we wish him, Christine and their family all the best in the future.”

City photo contest

By Dan Jensen

Have an outstanding photo you would like to share? The City of Camrose would love to see it.

The City of Camrose Economic Development department is holding a photo contest until April 4.

If your photo is chosen you could win $50.

“We’re looking for high quality images (300 dpi and minimum 2,000 px) without any filters or alterations,” said City of Camrose communications and economic development assistant Sara Walkey. “The photos must be appropriate and have been taken in the City.”

Examples of activities the City would like to see are skiing, skating outdoors, dining at a restaurant, swimming, spray park fun, sports (ball, soccer, hockey or golf), walking or jogging on the trails, nightlife fun, Big Valley Jamboree and Jaywalkers’ Jamboree events, shopping and studying.

“People can send in as many pictures as they like – the more the merrier,” said Walkey. “Photos will be judged on how adaptable they will be for future advertisements, so send in pictures that have been taken within the new year or go out and take some new ones.”

The City of Camrose will be picking a maximum of 20 photos. Contestants may send their image or images to info@camrose.ca in low quality format to see if they will be used. If that photo is a winner the applicant will need to send in the high resolution image, as well as sign a form that gives the City of Camrose unlimited use.

The winning photos will be posted on the City’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

No truth

Regarding the Curriculum criticism doesn’t add up

by Jeff Johnson, minister of education.

I could rebut each and every line of your article, but I don’t have the whole day.

So, I will reply to only some of your statements, which do not contain the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I understand why some parents would be concerned with the allegation that mastery of the basics – skills such as arithmetic and reading – will play a less important role in the new curriculum than it did before. If this were the case, I would be concerned as well. But fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth.

These are not “allegations” or things “far from the truth”. I have several examples, but for the sake of brevity, here is one of them.

For example, the mastery of basic facts is not spelled out in the K to Grade 9 curriculum, but the words “memorization not recommended” are. The kids are supposed to “apply skip

counting (and other strategies) to determine multiplication facts to 81”. This means, and is interpreted as such in classrooms everywhere, that the kids have to know how to derive (and we agree that kids have to know that) the answer to 4x6. What we want is that after three years of skip counting the children to be able to recall these facts off the top of their heads; to claim, like the education consultants do, that this comes at the expense of understanding is just plain wrong.

“The conventional method of teaching fundamentals, whereby students rely on memorization...” This was not the old method of teaching math.

“However, surviving on mere memorization alone is a thing of the past. The modern economy demands creativity and problem solving, the application of critical thinking and an ability to collaborate and communicate. These skills lie at the heart of Alberta’s curriculum redesign process.”

This is now far from the truth. If I gave my grandma, with four elementary classes, a Grade 7 problem from today’s Alberta textbooks, she could do it, but a Grade 7 student today could not do one of her Grade 4 problems. What she might not know, is how to explain 245-178 in four different ways. Because this is what “problem solving” has done today in elementary grades.

Sincerely, Cornelia Bica, MSc Mathematics Instructor, NAIT Johnson not listening

Education minister Jeff

Johnson is right, “parents deserve to hear directly from him.” He continues, “We’ve been asked to listen.” Also true.

But after that, it is “reader beware” because line after line contains fallacies and half-truths. Johnson ends the above statement, with the claim ”that’s exactly what we’re doing.” False.

The facts are: He isn’t listening to me or Dr. TranDavies (doesn’t answer our emails or her phone calls asking to meet with him).

He isn’t listening to 11,500 petitioners who have signed Nhung’s Math Petition at www.chnge.org (click on Petitions, type Mathematics into search engine).

Fact #2: March 11, we were in the House, when Wildrose education critic Bruce McAllister asked Minister Johnson, if he would “commit to sitting down and meeting with Dr. TranDavies.” Minister Johnson responded, “Mr. Speaker, every chance I get to meet with parents, I take it. We have met with Dr. TranDavies three times” (Hansard, March 11/14). We can only assume Minister Johnson used the Royal “WE” to mean his Deputy and Chief of Staff who have met with Dr. Tran-Davies, twice.

Truth: Minister Johnson has never met with Dr. TranDavies.

Question: Do Albertans have to use the same kind of force with Minister Johnson as was used on Premier Redford?

Over 11,500 Albertans want a revised Math Curricula (starting Sept. 2014) that ensures the “mastery” of basic math skills, plus

the banning of calculators in Math classes. Memorizing the multiplication tables to the point of automaticity, would facilitate later more complex calculations. Alberta education claims that “Drill Kills!” We promote “Drill for skill!” Like the Olympians who win Gold.

Contrary to Minister Johnson (who seems intent on increasing the sharp decline in Alberta performance on International Math Exams), we want to Go For Gold in Math!

Fact #3: Alberta is #17 in Math, not #11 as he claimed. Alberta’s score, 517 (below the Canadian average, below BC and well below Quebec’s 536, and 96 points below ShanghaiChina, at 613) does not put Alberta “at the top,” as Johnson claimed. Allberta’s 517 is almost 100 points below the top – if Johnson does the math.

Fact #4. Alberta is not results-driven, as proved

by Alberta’s sharp drops in PISA, TIMSS, and PCAP Math Exams. AB Ed’s own Provincial PAT Math exam results verify those declines.

The 2012 Grade 6 math results fell from 69.8 per cent in 2008-09, to 56.2 per cent.

The Fraser Institute Report Cards also contradict Johnson’s claim that Alberta is a “top-performing educational jurisdiction.”

Word restrictions prevent me from listing the remaining fallacies in Johnson’ article. There are simply too many to fit into a Letter to the Editor.

We need the truth about Alberta’s math.

Habitat for Humanity breaks ground for new homes

By Dan Jensen

Mackenzie Carroll will be able to realize her dream this summer of building her own home.

Mackenzie, her husband, Tyson and their three children, Angela, Liam and Dominic have been chosen as one of this year’s two Habitat for Humanity Camrose partner families.

They’re hoping to receive the key to their home as early as next July after they have completed the 500 hours of sweat equity that is required for their down payment.

“We’re actually doing some sweat equity at the Habitat ReStore and will be doing more sweat equity building the house,” said Mackenzie during a groundbreaking ceremony for their new duplex at 5204-41 Street March 19. “We’re really excited about that.”

The Carrolls’ neighbours will be the other Habitat partner family, Kenneth and Courtney Dzus and their children, Kiera and Jordynn.

“It’s going to be a bigger place, and we are definitely looking forward to having a family here,” said an emotional Kenneth during the ground-breaking. “I would like to thank everyone at Habitat and ReStore for making this possible.”

The duplex homes, once finished, will be the 25th and 26th Habitat for Humanity has built in Camrose.

“Wehavethefootingspoured so the next stage is to work on the basement and the framing,” said Habitat for Humanity executive director Cody McCarroll. “The return of winter has slowed us down a little bit.”

Habitat for Humanity volunteers donated 10,000 hours to help build the 24th and 25th homes last summer.

“We are appreciative of our many community supporters and looking forward

Habitat for Humanity staff and board members were joined by the families and volunteers during the launch of the build.

to building 25 more homes in the years to come,” said McCarroll.

One of the biggest Habitat supporters has been the City of Camrose, which offered a reasonably priced lot for the first build after Habitat was formed in 1995, and has provided funding assistance through the affordable housing program.

“It is nice to see Habitat continuing to provide homes for those that need them,” said Mayor Norm Mayer, who was part of council when the first request for assistance came through. “I would just like to congratulate the establishment in doing it and congratulate those who are looking forward to moving into their new home.”

The majority of building materials for Habitat home builds are supplied by UFA Camrose.

“They provide full service, not just delivery,” said McCarroll. “Sometimes they unload everything and help

Work has already started on the new Habitat for Humanity home for two local families.

in the building process. They are a great business to work with.”

Mackenzie gave the best summary when she said

Habitat means hope for the future that is great and is just going to get better.

“That is only possible by our new family at Habitat

and at ReStore. We thank them for this opportunity, not only for Tyson and I but for our children and their futures as well.”

Battle River Credit Union has another solid year

By Dan Jensen

Battle River Credit Union is continuing to grow and prosper in an unstable economy.

A report that will be presented to members at BRCU’s annual general meeting tomorrow night (March 26) shows that BRCU was able to return to its members a record 30 per cent of all interest paid on loans or earned on deposits in 2013.

“Our members are loyal and their loyalty is being richly rewarded,” said president Alan Fielding.

BRCU assets grew to $625,313,000 at the end of Oct. 2013, up from $579,270,000 at the same time the year before. The total profit before taxes and allocation to members was $11.9 million.

The total amount of member depots grew to

$537,829,000, up from $498,396,000 the year before.

BRCU approved 2,082 loan applications totalling $203,016,911.54, compared to the previous fiscal year in which 2,238 applications were approved totalling $219,149,216.64.

Member loans account for 74 per cent of BRCU’s assets, followed by investments at 21 per cent.

BRCU is continuing to set itself apart as one of the strongest credit unions in all of Canada.

“Our Return on Assets (ROA) of 1.83 per cent was the highest of any credit union in Canada in 2012,” said Fielding. “Our strong financial position has enabled us to take advantage of the opportunity to seek new markets, and to continue to provide improved financial products

and services to our members.”

Fielding said BRCU believes its first job is to service its members. “When you phone us a real person will answer. We will go the extra mile to provide you with a quick response to your questions. We will provide the products and services you need in a welcoming, professional manner.”

BRCU works hard at utilizing leading-edge technology. “We launched e-Transfers (e-mail money transfer) in November, 2012, which enables our members to send and receive money via email,” said the annual report.

“This year we introduced MemberDirect Small Business Account Plus and e-Post functionality to our online banking.”

BRCU supported more than 23 community orga-

nizations in 2013, including the Royal Canadian Legion, Battle River Animal Protection Society, Camrose Minor Hockey Association, Canadian Diabetes Association, the Lakeland Rodeo Association and Stettler Hamper Society.

“Battle River Credit Union has been actively engaged in helping to build and strengthen communities for the past 63 years and the spirit of giving continues,” said the report.

“Donations and sponsorships are continually invested for youth, recreation and community facilities. We are committed to making a difference.”

A $2,500 Terry Kelly Memorial Scholarship in honour of the late Terry Kelly, general manager of the BRCU for 30 years, was presented to Nissa Winder,

daughter of Darren and Heidi Winder. The scholarship is awarded based on academic achievement and community involvement.

BRCU has evolved from one branch in Camrose with assets of $178 serving 21 members to 11 branches serving well over 17,000 members. The vision at the beginning, as it is now, was to have a local, memberowned full service financial institution where loan rates and deposit rates are competitive or better.

Members of the BRCU executive management team are Mickey Mohan, vice-president, operations, Bruce Weinkauf, vice-president, operations, Steve Friend, chief executive officer, and Joe Mohan, vicepresident of operations.

Tranquility travel insurance is underwritten by Orion Travel Insurance Company.

Total revenue is forecast at $44.4 billion, which is 5.4 per cent higher than last year. Revenue growth is a result of higher oil prices, increased personal and corporate income tax revenue and increased federal grants due to equal per-capita health transfers for the provinces.

Non-renewable resource revenue is $9.2 billion, 6.7 per cent higher than last year due to higher oil prices, a lower differential and a lower Canadian dollar.

A news release from the Wildrose Official Opposition stated that Budget 2014 confirms the PC government remains steadfast on the path of growing Alberta’s total debt load, saddling taxpayers with hundreds of millions of dollars in interest payments and further jeopardizing the delivery of core services.

“Despite revenues projected to be the highest in Alberta history at $44.4 billion, the PCs will run a consolidated cash deficit of $2.7

Budget 2014 also affirms that Alberta taxpayers will carry $21 billion in total debt by 2016. That means $820 million in interest payments alone that will be diverted away from every day services Albertans rely on like education, health care and policing.

“At the new and increased rate of borrowing, Alberta will be borrowing $14 million a day, $585,000 an hour, $10,000 a minute and $160 a second.”

Wildrose leader Danielle Smith said Albertans simply can no longer afford this PC government.

By Murray Green The Maria Dunn Trio will be stopping at the Bailey Theatre for a performance in the Rose City Roots Music Society’s series on March 29, beginning at 8 p.m.

Maria Dunn travels the world, delighting audiences with her songs, inspired by the resilience and hope of ordinary people who so often demonstrate extraordinary courage. The constant travel, learning about different places and meeting people around the world inspires her to write the songs honouring real people’s lives, past and present.

Dunn is a true preserver of the spirit of folk music. She is often compared to Woody Guthrie for her keen social awareness and her unvarnished songs about the lives of working men and women.

With her latest CD, Piece

By Piece, she pays tribute to immigrant women who worked at a Western Canadian clothing factory over its 93-year history.

Dunn’s previous four recordings have mixed North American roots music with influences from her ScottishIrish heritage. With Piece

By Piece, she adds musical inflections and instrumentation that evoke the women who inspired the songs.

In 2002, Dunn received a Juno nomination in the Roots/Traditional Solo category for her second recording For a Song. In 2009, she was nominated for Solo Artist of the Year – Canadian Folk Music Award – for her 2008 CD The Peddler. She’s also won other accolades, including two nominations for Prairie Music Awards (now known as the Western Canadian Music Awards) in 2002 for Outstanding Roots Recording and in 1999 for Outstanding Songwriter.

Dunn’s arresting performance style instantly connects her to audiences, while her lyrically rich songs, impassioned storytelling and expressive singing captivate them and keep them coming back. Piece By Piece adds 10 new songs to an already impressive repertoire.

Join Dunn as she shares her tales about places and times, far and near, and the characters who inhabit her songs – characters you will identify with, root for or dislike with a passion just like the characters in your own life.

University of Alberta mixed chorus to perform Join the University of Alberta Mixed Chorus for the first of its annual spring concerts on Saturday, March 29.

The concert will be held in the Faith and Life Chapel of the Augustana Campus starting at 7:30 p.m.

Founded in 1944 by University of Alberta students, the UAMC is one of the University’s oldest groups, this year celebrating its 70th anniversary.

Each season, its members come together to share their love of music under the inspirational leadership of Dr. Robert de Frece.

In this concert, the chorus will present a retrospective program featuring works performed over the UAMC’s seven-decade history, ranging from the motets of the Renaissance and early Baroque periods to selections from the Broadway musical, The Sound of Music. The program will include works

by Byrd, Schütz, Haydn, Mozart, Mendelssohn and Brahms, and early 20th century English part songs by Stanford and Elgar.

Featured with the UAMC are the Faculty of Education Handbell Ringers, who have enjoyed a musical partnership with the UAMC for 26 years. This group plays one of largest collections of handbells and chimes in Canada. The Handbell Ringers will play an exciting arrangement of J.S. Bach’s Allegro for Organ, based on a movement from a concerto for two violins by Vivaldi, Anita’s Dance from the Peer Gynt Suite by Edvard Grieg, and Jazz Pizzicato by Leroy Anderson.

Tickets are available only at the door. Proceeds from this concert will be used to support the Augustana choir’s tour to Halifax, Nova Scotia, in May for the Association of Canadian Choral Communities’ biennial podium conference. For further information, call the Augustana music office at 780-679-1532.

Seniors who drive Though the debate about older drivers figures to remain a hot topic, aging can affect drivers in a number of ways. The physical and mental changes that accompany aging can have a profound impact on a person’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. Reaction times may be slower, hearing and vision loss may affect driver awareness, loss of muscle strength and flexibility can make steering more difficult and medication can impair focus and/or concentration.

Many senior centers and organizations offer programs that allow elderly drivers to brush up on their skills behind the wheel. Drivers also can contact their insurance companies to see if there are any sponsored classes they can take to reassess their skills and possibly lower their insurance premiums.

It also is important that senior drivers and their families familiarize themselves with local legislation to determine if driver refresher courses or retesting are necessary for older drivers to remain behind the wheel.

By Maria Lobreau, Camrose Seniors’ Coalition Celebrating our Volunteers

Many of us have seen volunteers hard at work in our community.

“Research shows that there are significant health benefits to be gained from volunteering. These benefits include enhanced physical, emotional or psychological and brain or cognitive health as well as a number of social advantages.”

(Volunteer Canada. Volunteering and Older Adults, final report, February 2013).

Have you ever wondered what motivates people to volunteer? Why would someone give of their time or skills without expecting a return?

To search out answers to these questions, I looked to the volunteers from the Meals on Wheels program right here in Camrose.

Camrose Meals on Wheels started in 1973. This program currently delivers a hot lunch to residents of Camrose 365 days a year.

The delivery of these meals is totally dependent on volunteer drivers. Individuals, churches, banks, businesses and service clubs offer volunteer time to deliver weekday and weekend routes.

I had the privilege to

chat with Devin and Candice who volunteer as drivers for the Camrose Meals on Wheels program. Devin started volunteering for Meals on Wheels in 2009 as part of his Community Service Learning Program at the U of A Augustana Campus and Candice started helping Devin deliver meals shortly thereafter. The pair realized not only did delivering meals on wheels take very little time, but they felt like they were making a real difference in our community.

Devin said “I would deliver meals and receive a thank you from the customers and I felt like I made a difference for someone.” He said that even though delivering a hot lunch to someone seemed like a small task, the impact on the customer was huge.

Devin and Candice currently deliver meals as part of the weekend routes.

Once every six weeks our dynamic driving duo navigates the streets of Camrose with Meals on Wheels in tow.

They spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour delivering meals to customers. They have met a variety of people on their delivery routes and comment on how Meals on Wheels really helps people stay connected to others in their community as well as live independent in their

homes. Some customers cannot leave their homes due to poor weather or physical limitations and meal prep and delivery is an important component of nutritional routine and social contact during the day. One such customer told Devin and Candice “I’m 92 years old and it means so much to me that you bring me my lunch.” Motivation to volunteer comes from the customers they serve.

Why would someone give their time or skills to others?

Devin and Candice believe that this service is not just a meal delivery, it helps others cope with everyday challenges. It provides supports and a safety check that help people remain independent, positively impacting quality of life. They have met people that have brightened their day and felt compelled to attend the funeral of one of their customers.

Devin’s hope is that if he ever needed this service himself, it would be there for him to use.

“More people should take time to volunteer because not only is it a learning opportunity but it is a great way to give back,” he said. “It really is a win-win situation. “ Take time to celebrate National Volunteer Week April 6-12, 2014. Take time to volunteer and take time to acknowledge volunteers in and around your community.

Augustana drama students to show their talent

By Dan Jensen Augustana’s third and fourth year students will have the opportunity to showcase their talents when they present A.R. Gurney’s The Dining Room March 27-29 at the Augustana Theatre Centre.

The six cast members will each be playing as many as nine different roles.

“It is an excellent piece in that it showcases the breadth of each performer,” said Augustana drama professor Paul Johnson.

“They play anything from a small child to a senior citizen.”

The production is one of two capstone courses offered by Augustana drama. “This one alternates every other year with the other capstone course, which has a production that is based on Paul Sills’ story theatre format,” said Johnson.

The Dining Room is a comedy of manners, set in a single dining room where 18 scenes from different households overlap and intertwine. Presumably, each story is focused around a different family during different time periods which has in its possession the same dining room furniture set.

Overall it tells the story of the dying and relatively short lived culture of the upper middle class and the translation into a much more efficient society with less emphasis on tradition and more on progress.

“The dining room is, in some ways, meant to be the iconic dining room of different eras,” said Johnson.

“It starts with scenes that happen in the early morning as the sunlight is coming through the French doors and by the end of the play it is evening and dark.

In between things happen in the dining room, say at noon time, lunch time or tea time that fall into place on that kind of chronological continuum. But it may be that we see one scene that is modern day followed by a scene during the war or the depression.

It is the universal dining room experience, not tied into any one particular era in our history.”

Fourth year drama student Ally Larson said the play has been rewarding in that it provides the oppor-

tunity to play many different roles.

“It is not like a normal show where we only have one character. We have to spend an equal amount of time with each different character and that is what makes it so interesting.”

Third year drama student Maddy Goodman said the biggest challenge for her is the lack of time for rehearsals.

“We are all a bit limited in what we have in our time table. In a way though that is good because it is forcing us as actors to work on it outside of class time.”

Goodman said one of her favourite characters in the

play is one that has very few lines.

“She is a maid by the name of Dora and the only thing she ever says is yes sir or no sir, but it is really fun because I get to do a lot of business on stage.”

Larson said her favourite character is Meg, a woman who is going through a transitional period in her life.

“She is seeing this married guy and also seeing a woman so she might be a lesbian, and she is talking to her father about it. It is emotional but also kind of funny in a way.”

Larson said the Augustana drama pro-

gram has more than lived up to her expectations.

“I just came here because I live in Camrose and it was the easy thing to do. Then, after being here, I didn’t want to leave. The students in the department have hearts. They try so hard with what they have, something you don’t get anywhere else.”

Goodman said she loves being part of the program. “I think this is an amazing program that often gets overlooked because it is very small.

Like Ally said, the things that happen here are really amazing.”

The set used for The

Dining Room is basically the same one that was used for Augustana’s spring production of The Trip to Bountiful.

“Because I was directing both shows I was able to think of a design for both plays,” said Johnson. “We are still waiting for a proper dining room table, but other than that, a side board that they use to keep their fine china and another chair, there isn’t very much in the way of props. It is really a piece that relies on the strength of its performers.”

Augustana students raise awareness of plight of homeless

By Dan Jensen

Thirteen students of the University of Alberta campus spent their nights sleeping outside and their days begging for food and cash in a Five Days for the Homeless event March 10 to 14.

“We’re doing it to raise awareness about homeless youth in Camrose and around Canada,” said fifthyear student Sam Ruediger.

“It is happening not just at this campus but at campuses across Canada.”

The money collected by the students will be donated to the Camrose Open Door Association, which provides emergency housing for homeless youth.

The total amount raised by the students as of 2 p.m.

March 12 was $450.

The students managed to attract plenty of attention about their orange t-shirts and the tent they set up just outside the forum.

“People are curious, wanting to know what we have received a wonderful reception from the community.”

Paurav Dana said the first few nights of sleeping outside were the toughest.

“The first night was extremely cold but after that it got better because we became accustomed to it,” he said. “It helped that we had really good clothing.”

The students acknowledged that they were get-

ting only a small glimpse of what the real homeless people have to go through.

“We know that we can stop this any time but for the homeless people it is reality,” said Benny Okwuobi. “They go through this every day.

I don’t know how many times they would receive money or food to live their daily lives.”

Dana noted he and the other students who participated were fortunate that the weather was not all that bad.

“We shiver and freeze at night but we had pretty good conditions. We were thinking about the people who had to be outside when it was minus 30 or 40.”

Ruediger said the professors at Augustana have

been pretty good about granting the students extra time to complete the assignments.

“I know I have pushed back a couple of assignments because I am definitely not functioning at 100 per cent.”

Kamifurano provides unlimited access to winter sports

By Brenda Knull, on leave from Jack Stuart School

Please take a moment to picture Japan. Can you see it? For many, it looks like the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. You might picture people, lights, and cars everywhere. Or maybe you see temples in which you can find your inner Zen. If this is your vision, you might be imagining a place that resembles Kyoto. Some of you might be thinking back to the time of Second World War and if this is the case, you are thinking about Hiroshima. What about sandy beaches and blue water? Yes, you can find that here in Japan too.

For this you would want to head to the Okinawa prefecture. This is the southernmost area of Japan. And what about snow that is prefect for skiing and snowboarding? Japan has this option as well – just head to the northernmost of Japan’s 47 prefectures to Hokkaido. *Prefectures are governmental bodies that are larger than villages, towns, and cities.

As you can see, Japan has varied geography which makes it a country that really does have some-

The climate of Japan is mostly temperate, but varies greatly from north (Hokkaido to south (Okinawa). thing for everyone. About 73 per cent of the country is forested, mountainous, and unsuitable for agricultural, industrial, or residential use. This means that the government of Japan and the citizens try to conserve natural resources.

Many buildings, both past and present, are built with state-of-the-art technology such as solar heating. They also have central heating and insulation. Japan is one of the mostly densely populated countries in the world so people are always looking to use their resources in the best way possible. Hokkaido is located near Russia, which helps to explain why the temperature dips down colder than one might think. February is known for being the coldest month of the year. The climate of Japan is mostly temperate, but varies greatly from north (Hokkaido) to south (Okinawa).

A great advantage of living in Kamifurano is that

you have unlimited access to winter sports, activities, and festivals. Who knew that ski pants and my pair of Helly Hansen`s would come in so handy?

You can go snowboarding, skiing, snowmobiling, or horseback riding. There is the option of snowshoeing and cross country skiing. A beautiful tour that I went on was in the mountains that can be seen from Kamifurano. I went on a night snowshoe hike through the trees. Halfway through our time we plopped ourselves down in the powdery snow to gaze up at the stars. There was a great mix of Japanese people and Australians. Oh yes, and the token Canadian was on board as well.

After the tour, we went for a soak in the onsen (hot springs). You can also go on a drift ice tour, dog sledding, ice fishing, winter rafting behind a snowmobile, or go for a hot air balloon ride. Kamifurano and

surrounding area is a big, winter playground.

Most places in Hokkaido have snow festivals to celebrate the beauty of the snow. Sapporo held its 65th snow festival this year. This is one of Japan’s largest winter events that attracts a growing number of visitors from Japan and abroad each year. There were about 200 snow and ice sculptures featured there. I think I have nearly 200 pictures as evidence. One of the large snow sculptures showcased winter sports athletes. This was a way to cheer on the Japanese competitors at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. It was also built for their anticipated success at the 2017 Asian Winter Games, due to be held in Sapporo.

Kamifurano held its own yuki masturi (that is Japanese for snow festival).

It took place on February 2. Of course it was smaller than the event in Sapporo but it still had all of the nec-

essary features of a great festival. You could purchase local cuisine and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force put on a concert. Laveton (the town mascot) was there to greet people and to give away candy and chocolates. Many families were there to enjoy the ice slides, tubing, and snowmobile course. The sense of community was very strong.

And there’s nothing like screaming on the back of a raft being pulled by a snowmobile with some of your students to help you get to know one another better.

Well, it may just have been me who was making all the noise. It never ceases to amaze me that so much can be communicated without words. Those mutual experiences and feelings helped us to create more of a relationship with one another. Now whenever I am at the school that those students attend a particular girl comes up to me and says `yuki masturi` with an enthusiastic smile. We both know what that means and I feel the same way. For some things you don’t need to speak the same language because feelings can be indescribable.

Else Auerbach was born on July 5, 1928 in Sonderborg, Denmark. Else met Hans Auerbach in 1947 and they married on May 22, 1948. They lived in Sonderborg the first five years of their marriage. In 1953, the family immigrated to Camrose, where Else has resided until her passing.

Activities over the years included bowling, golfing, gardening and camping. Else was always willing to lend a hand volunteering with different organizations.

Else spent countless hours knitting and doing needlework.

Many of her handcrafted needleworks will live on as they have become family heirlooms.

Else treasured time spent with her family. She enjoyed playing games and cards, especially bridge, with family and her friends at Deer Meadows.

Left to cherish her memory are her children Bob (Tilly) Auerbach of Camrose, Ingelise Markine of Camrose, and Rosemarie Hildebrand of Castlegar, BC; grandchildren Stephen Auerbach, Carol Erick, Mike (Kirsten) Hildebrand, Scott (Kara) Markine, Sheri (Darryl) Reimer and Brad (Juanita) Hildebrand; great-grandchildren Brendan, Josh and Colby Erick, Jordyn and Jeron Auerbach, Logan, Simone and Sadie Hildebrand, Emma, Jack, Kate and Jane Markine, Emerson and Edyn Reimer, and Orin and Alice Hildebrand; brother Erik (Dorthe) Frost of Denmark; and niece Karen Stovlbaek and family of Denmark.

…heartily thanks all of you for your patience, understanding and kindnesses towards Gordon, enabling him to meet his endeavors to help and be with others in a fulfilling and meaningful way wherever he lived. Many of you were extra special – words could never express how much that meant to us. When sickness came upon him, he didn’t fret but knew you would understand that he was no longer able to do what he enjoyed so much.

His wish was to have a very simple service and burial; again, thanks to all for your deeds – large and small – helping with the services, the lunches, your every expression of sympathy, donations given and kind words you shared in memory of him.

His last months were spent in the Palliative Care Unit in St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose receiving care for progressive, terminal cancer.

Last but not least – Burgar Funeral Home, Camrose treated us with such compassion, we’re grateful for all your excellent help at this difficult time.

We feel blessed to have had Gordon lent to us and how he shared his wonderful friends and acquaintances; thanks be to each and every one of you.

Dodge Journey Ultimate combination of form and function

Ed Rye

By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Dodge Journey at Camrose Chrysler is the ultimate combination of form and function.

Journey welcomes your travels with an interior that is designed with an amazing degree of versatility and bursting with technology, available all-wheel drive (AWD) and engine options that are as efficient as they are capable.

Make the most of every day

Journey is the only crossover in Canada to offer the choice of either a fourcylinder or V6 engine.

The 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing delivers 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, as well as some of the most advanced automotive engine technology.

The estimated fuel ratings are 7.9 litres per 100 km on the highway.

The 2.4 litre four cylinder features a strong balance of fuel economy (up to 7.7 litres per 100 km) and power (173 horsepower).

Journey AWD not only grabs your attention, it grabs the road as well. The system makes easy work of snowy, wet or ice-laden road. When the system senses wheel slippage, it immediately responds with a transfer of power to the rear wheels for a very noticeable uptick in driving performance.

Flexibility

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

even more room to store the things you just can't leave home without.

Ride comfort

Journey makes every ride more comfortable with plenty of lounge room, amazing interior flexibility and stadium seating. Need room for more than five passengers? Journey's got you covered with the available Flexible Seating Group that expands seating to seven.

The standard 60/40 splitfolding and reclining secondrow seating offers spacious comfort, while its flexibility easily accommodates large loads. Your passengers will have easy access to the available 50/50 split-folding thirdrow seats thanks to rear doors that open 90 degrees and the Tilt 'n Slide secondrow seats.

The premium six-speaker Alpine sound system pro-

vides optimal audio enjoyment, while the available 115-volt two-prong power outlet allows passengers to plug in portable game systems or audio devices.

The available awardwinning Uconnect system with 8.4-inch touch screen (the largest in its class) features easy-to-navigate access icons for radio, as well as available features like SirriusXM Satellite Radio navigation and hands-free communication. Bring along your own tunes via remote SD card slot, remote USB port with mobile device control or Bluetooth streaming. The USB port can also charge your compatible devices.

Safety

Journey offers over 50 safety and security features.

Electronic Stability Control helps the driver maintain vehicle directional stability and limits oversteer or understeer. ESC includes All-Speed Traction Control, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation, and Trailer Sway Control.

The standard four-wheel disc antilock brakes sense and prevent wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking and/or slippery conditions.

The available Parkview rear back-up camera displays an accurate visual reference

of what is behind you when you are in reverse.

The standard Enhanced Accident Response System makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on interior lighting, flashing hazard lamps and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. It also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine.

Journey's air bags offer protection for all rows of seating. Air bags include multistage driver and frontpassenger, supplemental side-curtain for all rows, a driver's inflatable kneeblocker, and supplemental front-seat side-mounted.

A standard warning system in the instrument cluster alerts the driver to tires with either too high or too low pressure with displays for each individual tire pressure.

Blacktop Group

Journey's Blacktop Group provides custom flair for a more distinctive look, straight from the factory.

Exterior highlights includes Gross Black 19-inch aluminum wheels, front grille, lower front fascia accents and exterior mirrors, as well as Black headlamp accents.

You can see the 2014 Dodge Journey at Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 east, Camrose. Phone 780672-2476 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Oil companies help determine curriculum

By Murray Green

DRY FEED SUPPLEMENTS

DIESEL!

Oil and gas companies are dictating what Alberta children are learning in school.

NDP education critic Deron Bilous was shocked to learn that Syncrude and Suncor were listed as key partners in developing the new Kindergarten (K) to Grade 3 curriculum. “Kindergarten to Grade 3 is a very formative time in a child’s education where their minds are still developing. It is outrageous and appalling to have oil and gas companies involved in any way in developing curriculum for Alberta’s youngest students,�

Bilous said.

According to Alberta Education documents revealed by the NDP, several oil and gas companies are given key partnership status in helping draft Alberta’s future curriculum for students. “Maybe the minister can explain why parents and teachers are being pushed aside to make room for oil and gas companies? I certainly can’t even to begin to rationalize these decisions, or why the minister would undermine the value of our education system,� said Bilous.

Of further concern is the rapid pace of the curriculum development. According to Alberta Education, the complete redesign of K-12 is to be completed within two years. “Parents and teachers are confused and angry. A complete redesign of what we are teaching our kids should not be hurried in any way. I encourage the minister to slow this process down and remove any partners that are not experts in childhood education. Somehow, I don’t think that oil and gas companies have the necessary qualifications,� said Bilous. “For the minister to say he has no issue with these companies being involved in curriculum development for young children is appalling.�

Parents and students pre-

sented Alberta Education with a petition to change the way math is taught. More than 11,000 people signed the petition.

An Alberta Mathematics Dialog will be held at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus in Camrose on May 1 and 2. The mini-symposium will offer a post-secondary perspective of the Alberta K to Grade 12 mathematics curriculum.

It will aim to showcase a factbased analysis of the content and delivery methodology of the actual Alberta K to Grade 12 mathematics curriculum, and a mathematical approach to improve the curriculum in a well-balanced, contemporary way.

The primary topics of interest include: Alberta K to 12 mathematics curriculum; objective analysis of scope, sequence, learning outcomes, classroom delivery methodology (K to Grade 3, Grade 4 to 6, Grade 7 to 9, and Grade 10 to 12); and a comparison with similar curricula in Canada, North-America and overseas.

The performance of Alberta students will be reviewed on the basis of international tests results; strengths and common weakness in their mathematical background that affects the degree of success at a post-secondary level; and strategies for developing quantitative skills required by Alberta’s economy.

Teachers’ mathematical education in Alberta will be reviewed based on the implications of the current educational requirements; training necessary for delivering a redesigned 21st century curriculum. The teachers’ mathematical education will be compared with teachers’ mathematical education in other provinces and countries.

Several of the top math instructors across the province will be attending the symposium.

Brad Barsi went on vacation with his brother Darryl to New Orleans in October. While there he visited the thriving Spirits Bar & Grill on Bourbon Street, where this photo of him reading The Booster was taken.

This special place was previously called Turtle Bay and was failing until Jon Taffer from the TV show Bar Rescue, fixed it up. He introduced new food and new drinks. The name was changed to Spirits because it is thought that the spirit of an 1800s barber, who had a business in that building, is still there.

Lucie Broen, left, was honoured by Joann Reinhart for her 25 years of dedicated nursing service at the Covenant Health St. Mary's Camrose Milestones Service Awards.

Ken then went to the American Herdsman’s Institute at Keesummit, Missouri, to refine his skills as a herdsman. He helped several cattle producers, including Red Cap Herefords in the Camrose area.

He then moved to Armena to start a farm of his own. Today his family operates an Angus cattle farm, a livestock care business, and a rope halter and neck rope business. Ken also volunteers his knowledge and time to 4-H, Angus and community organizations.

Ken has published three grooming and showmanship booklets for 4-H beef clubs to use throughout Canada. He was nominated to the Wall of Fame by the staff at the

Camrose Regional Exhibition.

Marion Williams Marion Williams began her career as a district home economist for Alberta Agriculture in 1975. She worked in Olds and Vermilion before settling in Camrose. She is respected and valued for her genuine nature, knowledge base and her willingness to share information that helps others.

Marion was the first resource for rural families on food safety, consumer education, nutrition and in providing learning opportunities to provide knowledge and tools to family farms.

She played a key role in forming courses that were aimed at developing the skills farms and families needed to grow and adapt

as the industry evolved from the management perspec-

tive. Her record keeping and book keeping courses were popular.

When computers emerged, she organized a BYOC (Bring Your own Computer) program to teach others. Events such as Fall Focus helped rural women with Camrose County.

When her position was phased out she adapted to the role of rural development specialist where she continued to help rural businesses one on one. Even into retirement, Marion still assists in strengthening the local agricultural community. She also has volunteered countless hours to help others.

Promotion of rural development was not just part of Marion’s job; it is

who she is and who she continues to be.

Farm families Century Farm award recipients (farms that have remained in the family 100 years or more) are the Anderson, Fankhanel, Graham, Peterson, Pilger, Thirsk, Trautman, Tschirren, Van Petten and Wilcox families.

Tickets for the event are available at the agricultural services office in the seed plant at 4728-41 Street in Camrose until March 27.

Seating will be limited, so don’t be disappointed.

Cocktails begin at 5:30 p.m. and the supper follows at 6:30 p.m. The awards presentation starts at 8 p.m.

Sorenson highlights plan for Special Olympics

By Dan Jensen

Minister of State (Finance) Kevin Sorenson took part in a training exercise at a sports facility in Edmonton March 7 to highlight the Economic Action Plan 2014 investment of $10.8 million over four years to support the efforts of Special Olympics Canada.

“Sports contribute fundamentally to the development of life skills for our children and youth, and promote healthy, active lifestyles and strong communities,” said Sorenson. “For athletes with an intellectual disability, the impact is even more farreaching. I am very proud to be able to say that, with Economic Action Plan 2014, our government is providing significant financial support for Special Olympics Canada in its efforts to provide sport training and competition opportunities for Canadian athletes with an intellectual disability.”

Special Olympics Canada is thrilled with the federal government’s commitment to provide this funding on an ongoing basis.

“This additional funding allows Special Olympics Canada and the twelve provincial/territorial chapters to deliver sport programs to even more Canadians with an intellectual disability.,” said Sharon Bollenbach, chief executive officer, Special Olympics Canada. “The support of our federal government is integral to the ability and success of Special Olympics to positively impact the lives of Canadians with an intellectual disability through sport. We thank them for their support on behalf of our athletes and their families, our volunteers, and our coaches.”

The new funding is in addition to ongoing federal funding of $1 million per year to the organization through the Government of Canada’s Sport Support Program.

Special Olympics Canada is a national, volunteerdriven organization that provides sport training and competition opportunities for approximately 36,000 athletes of all ages with an intellectual disability. Special Olympics athletes represent our country at the Special Olympics World Games and are great role models, particularly for children and youth.

SOME LIKE IT HOT!

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Camrose Composite High School music department and the music parents’ association presented Some Like It Hot big band chili experience on March 2. The CCHS Jazz Combo, CCHS Jazz Ensemble and Chorazz entertained the crowd in the CCHS commons area.

Adjudicators share time and talents The Camrose and District Music Festival underway at various local venues this week features seven adjudicators. Alycia Au is judging strings, Shannon Boyle speech arts, Karen Fawcett music theatre and Don Ross band.

Alycia Au Alycia began lessons at the age of three in her hometown of Lethbridge, Alberta and continued her studies at the age of 12 with Robert Bardston at Medicine Hat college. Alycia has studied with reknown artists, Pinchas Zukerman, Midori, Martin Beaver and Patinka Kopec; performed in a chamber ensemble which won first place in the National’s competition when she was 14; and been recorded by CBC on a number of occasions. She has also had the privilege of soloing with a number of orchestra – the Edmonton Symphony and the National Arts Centre Orchestra to name just two – and has travelled to Japan, Cuba and across Canada.

Alycia received her Bachelor of Music from the University of British Columbia where she studied with Andrew Dawes.

She graduated with a Master of Music degree from the University of Alberta where she studied with Martin Riseley.

Alycia feels blessed to be a teacher, performer, adjudicator and a freelance musician. She is passionate to share how truly powerful this universal language of music is, whether it be in a teaching role or performing role, and has witnessed first-hand the depth and

positive impact music has.

Not only does it teach discipline, perseverance and good work ethic to students but it also opens our eyes to hearts that have been profoundly moved and touched by it (music).

Alycia loves to spend her down time being active.

Her biggest pursuit at the moment is testing for her black belt in Taekwon-do this year. She also enjoys crossfit, soccer, badminton, yoga, spending time in the outdoors hiking and backpacking and relaxing at home doing puzzles.

Shannon Boyle Shannon has been teaching acting and singing for over twenty years.

Currently she is teaching in the BFA acting program at the University of Alberta, at Lakeland College, and with the Citadel Theatre Young Companies.

After completing her music degree, Shannon graduated from the prestigious BFA acting program at the University of Alberta, and completed her Master’s Degree in Theatre Voice Pedagogy.

Some of her teaching experience includes Shakespeare, dialects, contemporary drama, musical theatre, and singing. Each spring, Shannon adjudicates singing, musical theatre and speech arts at festivals around the province.

Organizations fre-

quently request workshops and presentations at which Shannon loves to share her knowledge of voice and stage.

Through her interest in speech language pathology, Shannon has gained extensive technical and scientific knowledge of voice which she uses in her singing and speech lessons.

Each summer, Shannon teaches at RockerGirl Camp and at drama camps around the province.

Shannon is a member of the Voice and Speech Trainers Association, Alberta Registered Music Teachers Association, and the Association for Theatre in Higher Education.

Karen Fawcett Karen Fawcett received her Bachelor of Arts majoring in Music from Augustana University College, in Camrose.

Karen currently resides in Lloydminster and instructs voice privately to a studio of 57 students. She is known as “The Darling Diva” and performs around Alberta with her own opera/comedy show, and was recently interviewed on CBC’s Being Jann show with Jann Arden.

Don Ross Clarinetist Don Ross regularly plays classical music with Saint Crispin’s Chamber Ensemble, jazz with Billie Zizi and the Gypsy Jive, world music with Vinok Worldance and experimental music with Mile Zero Dance, the Boreal Electroacoustic Society and New Music Edmonton, as well as some 100 other freelance performances per year.

His works have been performed in Canada, the US, Belgium and Poland and appear on four CDs, most recently the electroacoustic anthology Unsound 2.

Don teaches at the University of Alberta, Alberta College Conservatory, MusiCampAlberta and The King’s University College, and he is much in demand as a clinician, adjudicator, conductor and composer.

Soil testing

Guntrip commits to playing baseball in U.S.

By Dan Jensen

By Murray Green

How does your garden grow?

If it isn’t as well as you would like you could probably benefit from a SOILS: Testing for the Home Gardener lecture and workshop at the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park in April.

The lecture on April 15 will see Gaia College Organic Master Gardener instructor Bernice Kadatz examine soil management practices and show ways of increasing soil fertility within organic guidelines.

In the workshop on April 22, Kadatz will show how to examine your soil for its texture, pH and compaction, as well as conduct a sedimentation test and paragmagnetic reading.

“It will be a problems/ solutions activity oriented time which should prove to be educational, eyeopening and fun,” said Railway Station spokesperson Eleanor White.

Both the lecture and the workshop are scheduled to run for three hours starting at 6 p.m.

Kadatz operates a biologically dynamic farm near Tofield. Along with her considerable experience with organic farming she has over 33 years of experience in analytical chemistry with the Alberta Research Council.

To register call the Station at 780-672-3099 or email Eleanor White at white.eleanore@ gmail.com. Space is limited to 18 students.

Former Camrose Minor Ball player Riley Guntrip is planning to pursue baseball at the United States university level next season.

The Camrose catcher has signed the forms to attend Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan this fall, where he will play for the Saints.

Riley is the fifth senior high school student from the Okotoks Dawgs Academy to commit to a university in the United States for next fall.

He played three season for the Dawgs starting in 2012 after completing Grade 10 in Camrose.

He has moved his way up through the academy steadily progressing at each level. Last year he was on the midget team that won the provincial championships and then went on to place second at the national championships in Quebec City.

Riley will be playing for the Dawgs again this summer on the highest team in the academy.

Guntrip worked hard to earn the starting catching position in his Grade 12 year. Last year, he completed the regular season with a team leading .425 average with one home run and 12 RBIs. He then went on to have an even better post season, leading the team to the Alberta championship by hitting a home run in the finals. He started every game at the national series to help the Dawgs earn a silver medal

Riley Guntrip is excited to play university baseball in the United States next fall. He has played midget baseball for the Okotoks based Dawgs program for the last two seasons and is a former Camrose Minor Ball player.

and a third straight toptwo finish.

In bantam baseball, Riley set a goal to play college baseball in the States.

Hitting coach Allen Cox will be coaching the catcher for his second season this year and shared his thoughts on the local player.

“Riley is a silent leader on the team,” Cox said.

“He is an extremely hard worker and, more importantly, just a great young

man. This is such a great opportunity for him to play for a good program but more importantly for a great man in coach (John) Kolasinski.”

Kolasinski is a twotime NAIA Northeast Regional Coach of the Year, a five-time New England Coach of the Year and a five-time Maine Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. He is currently on the American Base-

ball Coaches Association Board of Directors.

Guntrip will be busy as a freshman as he will not only have his baseball commitments and goals of getting a chance to start right out of the gate, but he will also be highly focused on his academics. The high school senior attends Holy Trinity Academy in Okotoks and was an honour role student in both Grade 10 and 11. He is on his way to the same result for this year.

He will be majoring in chemistry and taking a full course load next fall.

The Dawgs Academy has been focused on developing players that work just as hard off the field as they do on it and Guntrip is a prime example of a player achieving this goal, said his coaches.

Carson Wlad was the first signee out of the Dawgs Academy back in November. At the end of this summer the two high school seniors will help each other get settled in their new, exciting environment.

“Having a current teammate to share this big step in our lives with was definitely a deciding factor for me. It is great to already have a familiar face on the team and especially so far away from home. It’s the best,” Guntrip said.

“I just want to thank my mom, my billet family, all of the coaches and everyone in the organization for making the past three years the best experience of my life so far.”

Camrose Police Service responds to commercial alarm March 21

At approximately 9:40 p.m. several 911 calls were received concerning a power line that had been struck along 41 Street near 46 Avenue. The damaged power line resulted in a power outage to a large portion of the city. Police assisted Fortis Alberta in ensuring the area was safe as they worked at repairing the power line and restoring power.

At 12:48 a.m. police responded to a commercial alarm at the Battle River Recreation Repair building located at 3902 51 Avenue and noted that the business had been recently broken into. The suspect(s) broke the glass to the front door and managed to gain entry and stole a chainsaw and a small quantity of cash.

The occurrence is still being investigated.

An 18-year-old Camrose woman was charged with failing to provide a sample of her breath pursuant to

a demand made by a police officer and transporting liquor in a vehicle within reach of an occupant. The woman was released to face the charges in Camrose Provincial Court as the vehicle she was operating was towed and seized pursuant to legislation.

March 19

A 68-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman have been charged with Theft and Possession of Stolen Property after an investigation determined that they were responsible for stealing liquor from a downtown liquor store on March 17.

Both subjects were released with conditions to appear in Provincial Court.

In the early morning hours of March 19, police stopped and checked a vehicle in the area of 65 Street and 48 Avenue. Police gathered the grounds to believe that the 28-year-old male motorist was in the possession of narcotics and subsequently arrested him. A

search resulted in the seizure of a quantity of marihuana and the male was charged for Possessing a Controlled Substance.

March 18

Police received a report that sometime between March 16 and 17, graffiti had been spray painted on the west side of the Camrose Community Centre.

Two males were arrested and charged with Public Intoxication and Possession of a Controlled Substance after police checked the males inside a vehicle parked outside of a west end licenced premises late Monday evening. A further inquiry into the males’ activities resulted in the discovery that the males were in the possession of cocaine. One of the males was further charged for breaching his probation conditions as well. A court date has been set for them.

In the early morning hours on March 18, police stopped and checked two

males that were in a vehicle parked in the downtown area. While conducting records checks on the individuals, one of the males fled from police on foot.

Police subsequently learned that the male was breaching the curfew provisions of his probation and after a brief foot pursuit, police arrested the male hiding in a yard a few blocks away.

The 18-year-old Camrose man was charged with Resisting Arrest, Breach of Probation and Public Intoxication and was taken before a justice of the peace on these matters.

March 17

Police received a report from the owner of a retail store in the Duggan Mall that some clothing items had been stolen from the store sometime on Sunday.

Police are in the process of reviewing the store surveillance to develop the investigation further.

Police are investigating a report of a break and

enter to a west end licensed premises whereby a debit terminal was stolen from the business after hours.

A female reported that sometime in the afternoon hours, her iPhone was stolen from an unlocked locker at the Aquatic Centre.

March 16

A 20-year-old Ryley man is facing charges of Speeding and Careless Driving after police observed the motorist accelerate rapidly out of a west end parking lot and onto 48 Avenue where he was clocked travelling eastbound through the city at 110 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.

In the early morning hours, police received a report of an intoxicated male who was passed out inside a west end restaurant. The 22-year-old Whitecourt man was subsequently arrested and lodged into cells for Public Intoxication. The male was later charged and released.

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.

Public Works feasibility study proceeds

By Murray Green

City of Camrose council agreed to proceed with a feasibility study to get a handle on the costs of constructing a new facility for the public works department at the regular meeting on March 17.

Various committee reports identified the need for a new Public Works facility.

Administration identified that the next step in this process would be to undertake a needs assessment for a future facility.

The costs were approved by City Council in the 2014 capital budget, so no future motions were required to proceed with the study.

Back on June 27, 2011, council approved a motion, which set the project start date as early 2015 with a targeted completion date in mid -2016.

“Administration has been using an estimated cost of $10 million as a guideline in preparing for the costs,” said Jeremy Enarson, director of engineering. “Following the completions of a needs assessment by the end of this year, administration will have a much better idea of both the anticipated costs for a replaced public works facility.”

Councillor Wayne Throndson said the study has to come back to council before a shovel goes in the ground.

“I’m still convinced something has to be done at the water treatment treat before we agreed to a new public works facility.”

The study starts the process of finding the exact costs and time lines for the facility replacement.

Municipal census

Council has also approved a census for this year. During budget deliberations, approval was granted to conduct a municipal census with the allocated funds totalling $27,000.

The census must be carried out in strict compliance with the regulations that are set out in the determination of population regulation. This regulation sets out the time frame for which the census can be conducted, the requirement to establish a census day, reporting time lines and the schedules and forms to be used during the census.

The census will be conducted from April 1 to April 30. Questions will find out the number of residents in the household and what school children attend.

A change has been made to the act that now includes a quality assurance requirement, which will mean that a follow-up phone call will need to be made to 850 dwellings to verify that the information that was taken by the enumerator is correct.

A census provides an accurate population count that can assist with grant funds that are based on a per capita basis.

“The opportunity to gather municipal information aside from population is the demographics that can assist in short term and long term planning of the city. It can also provide information to the school boards and potential businesses on whether or not to open or relocate businesses to Camrose,” stated Kim Isaak, general manager, corporate and protective services, in her report. “We have already started an advertising campaign to alert the residents to the census, the reasons for why we conduct the census and the importance of ensuring that they are counted in the census.”

Camrose Kodiaks have a lot to celebrate

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks were eliminated in the Alberta Junior Hockey League playoffs, but the team still had a lot to celebrate.

Luc Vandale received the top scorer award, MVP honours went to both Nelson Gadoury and Devin McDonald, Ryker Leer and Quinn Brown shared the rookie of the year award, Dallas Bergstrom took home the community leader trophy, Luc Lemire was named the top defenceman, Cam Gotaas was selected as the most dedicated and Scott Ferguson and Riley Griffith shared the most improved player award.

Camrose placed fourth in the southern division with a record of 29-21-10 in 60 games. In the regular season, Vandale led the team with 17 goals and 30 assists for 47 points. Connor Mailey also scored 17 goals.

Lemire led the defence in scoring with six goals and 17 assists. McDonald earned 22 wins in the Kodiaks’ net and posted a 2.27 goals against average.

The Kodiaks will be losing Vandale, Mailey, Ryan Huolt, Matt Waseylenko and Tanner Tyndall off the roster for next season because of age restrictions.

Bear facts The Kodiaks’ spring camp is just around the corner. You can look at the future players at the EnCana Arena April 4 to 6 in various on-ice sessions.

Allyson Thain, 130, and Kaisa Asfeldt, 138, get off to a good start in the rabbit division of the Ole Uffda Ski Loppet in Camrose last month. Asfeldt placed fourth and Thain came in fifth in the girls category.

CJHL alumni playing in professional leagues

By Murray Green

The Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) currently has more than 920 alumni currently playing in the National Hockey League, minor professional leagues and the Canadian Hockey League (CHL).

Approximately 20 per cent of all players on NHL rosters are alumni of the CJHL and 33 per cent of players playing in the various other professional leagues – such as the American Hockey League (AHL) and the ECH – played in junior-A hockey, which includes the Camrose Kodiaks.

“We are proud of the fact that a significant percentage of CJHL alumni move on to play hockey at the NHL, minor professional and Canadian Hockey League levels,” said CJHL executive director Rick Morocco. “It is a testament to the quality

of our 10 leagues and their ability to provide elite hockey development opportunities year after year.”

A total of 133 alumni are currently playing in the NHL, including three Canadian NHL team captains – Andrew Ladd (Winnipeg Jets), Mark Giordano (Calgary Flames) and Brian Gionta (Montreal Canadiens). During the 2013 Stanley Cup finals, alumni were well represented by a total of eight players playing for the Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks.

Calgary Flames forward Joe Colborne experienced huge strides in his development as a member of the 2001 RBC Cup Champion Camrose Kodiaks (AJHL).

“It was two of the best years of my life,” said Colborne, prior to having his sweater retired and hung in

the rafters. “My coach (Boris Rybalka)made me into a much better hockey player and a young man. Those were the biggest growth years of my entire life.”

The top development league to the NHL, the American Hockey League (AHL), has 177 CJHL alumni playing in the league, accounting for 22 per cent of all AHL player rosters.

The other minor professional hockey leagues in North America, the ECHL and Central Hockey League, have 284 CJHL alumni that are currently playing on their rosters making up 37 per cent of these leagues’ players.

Mason Raymond of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Dylan Olson of the Florida Panthers are two other former Kodiaks in the NHL right now.

Cory Conacher, a Bur-

lington Cougars (OJHL) graduate, who played parts of three seasons in the minors before ending up with the Buffalo Sabres said, “I cannot say enough about how instrumental my year in the CJHL was for my development as a hockey player and person. It allowed me to grow, both mentally and physically, and prepared me for taking the next step to the NCAA collegiate game.

I still cherish many of my friendships from my time playing junior-A and was also proud to see the success that my brother achieved.”

St. Mary’s Hospital Central Agencies Home of the Week recognized as a Exceptional home with lots to offer top employer Submitted

St. Mary’s Hospital, along with 17 other Covenant Health facilities across the province, was honoured to be recognized by Alberta’s Top Employers in 2014.

“This is a real feather in our cap,” said Cherylyn Antymnuik, long serving employee and site administrator in Camrose. “I’m so grateful to all our employees for their compassion, energy and willingness to give it their all every day.”

Over 425 staff and 97 volunteers serve St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose.

The award recognizes companies on such criteria as work atmosphere, community involvement, employee benefits, professional development and learning opportunities.

“It is the dedicated staff, working hard as a team to deliver really great care to the people in our community,” added Alan Heyhurst, chair of the Covenant Health community board in Camrose. “Covenant Health really cares about the needs of the community and works collaboratively with patients, physicians, staff and families.”

Covenant Health is uniquely positioned in the health care system to draw on the strength of a 150year legacy and a committed team to add tremendous value to the health system. The scope of services in Camrose from hospital care to seniors care to primary care allows the organization to develop innovative solutions that reach across system needs and gaps.

“This honour goes to each and every one of our nearly 14,000 employees, physicians and volunteers,” said Patrick Dumelie, Covenant Health president and CEO. “Every day, I see inspired people of all faiths, traditions and cultures live our mission by first believing in the value of compassionate, holistic care. The result is great quality care and an excellent work environment that attracts people who are committed to service of others.”

Now proudly recognized as one of Alberta’s best, Covenant Health looks forward to bringing continued value and innovation to Alberta’s integrated health care system for many years to come.
