Each member of the City street crew is anxious to get back at spring clean-up. This includes equipment operators Steven Boden and Darrell Peterson. The pile shown in the background represents 50 loads or 200 cubic yards of sand, dirt and salt removed from Camrose pavement since the annual campaign got underway on March 15.

A return to spring temperatures this week will mean City of Camrose street sweepers will be able to get back on community streets and avenues in a concentrated effort to tidy up winter’s leftovers.

A harsh winter meant approximately 3500 cubic yards of salted sand (8% Mix), at a cost of $255,000 (including trucking, manpower and machinery usage) was spread by City crews with the goal of easier and safer driving for citizens and visitors to the community. It will take nearly three months to cover paved Camrose roadways to remove this sand mixture. In fact, city crews will have an expected additional 50 cubic yards (5 truckloads) to contend with as debris and litter is also scraped off of the City’s 163 kilometers of pavement. Major arterial routes and the business districts will be given highest priority. Residential areas will be covered last. The City of Camrose will post a schedule on its website and put out signage so that citizens have notice of residential street cleaning in their area. Maximum efficiency, which translates into savings for taxpayers, will be achieved when streets can be cleaned without going around parked vehicles.

Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson was as surprised as anyone when Alison Redford announced on March 20 she would be stepping down as Alberta premier. “I wasn’t expecting it,� said Olson, who only a few hours earlier had listened to the premier give a speech at the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties conference in which she talked about the work that is being done by his department. “I think I and others gulped a little bit when we received an email saying that she was holding a press conference at 6 p.m.� Olson believes the mistakes that Redford made have to be weighed against the work that she has done in the areas of market development and international trade, and in raising the profile of Alberta on the national and international stage. “There was an awful lot of good stuff that was being done, but they say that politics is the art of compromise and you don’t always get what you want, certainly not in party politics at the provincial and the federal level. Sure, there were things that I can point out that I wasn’t particularly happy with, but there were many good things that were

happening and my department was being well supported by the premier and her office.� Olson, who is the MLA for Wetaskiwin-Camrose, said it is now up to him and the rest of his colleagues within the Conservative government to pass the budget and do the other jobs with which they have been tasked. “I feel badly for Alison and her family, but we have to move on. I felt very badly, too, when Ed Stelmach left as premier because he is such a wonderful man.� Olson feels the caucus couldn’t have made a better choice than Dave Hancock for interim leader. “He is eminently qualified to do the job. He has been minister of something like seven different ministries, and is very knowledgeable about the workings of the House, so we are in really good hands. That is going to allow us to carry on doing what government needs to do.� Olson is confident the party will be announcing very shortly the process it will be following in selecting a new leader. He will wait and see who is running for leadership before deciding which one he wants to support.
Camrose Composite High School Trojans football player and Grade 10 student Michael Davidse will be competing in the second annual ABC (Alberta-British Columbia) Border Bowl in May. “It’s an honour to play in the Border Bowl game to represent not only my province, but Camrose and my school as well,� said Michael. “I was able to

make this team because of the support and coaching of my teammates, coaches and parents.� Michael will represent his province in the Border Bowl, which features the best Grade 10 and Grade 11 players from mostly rural Alberta against the best players from British Columbia. The local player made the squad after tryouts were held all over Alberta (Edmonton, Drumheller, Lethbridge, Red Deer and Airdrie), with over 150 players competing for 48 positions on Team Alberta. Several Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) and Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) teams will be watching the young rising stars in action. The ABC Border Bowl is part of the All Canada Gridiron (ACG) Bowl game series. It began last year with Alberta Rising Stars visiting Kelowna to play the BC Rising Stars, in one of the most intense and exciting high school all-star games in Canada.

“We are all going to have to make a choice at some point. I think there are a number of people who are considering their options, both inside and outside of the caucus. Thinking about whether they should be the one or one of the ones.” Olson hopes that the change of leadership will make the Conservative party stronger as it looks forward to the next election. “It has certainly given us cause to have an inward look,” he said. “We have a really strong caucus with very gifted people, but they are just average Albertans who are trying to do their best.”
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.
Sessions start Tuesday, April 15: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30-8:15 p.m. Location: St. Patrick School, 4816-53 Avenue

Centra Cam Bowl-a-thon raises nearly $20,000 By Murray Green
Centra Cam relies on sponsors and fundraisers like the Bowl-a-thon to help fund the programs they offer to clients. This year, approximately 90 bowlers raised nearly $20,000 to allow programs to be offered. “We appreciate the support the community has shown us with this event,” said organizer David Tanton, of Centra Cam. “We were down a little from last year, but we are happy with the amount.” Centra Cam held a successful 17th annual Bowl-a-thon on Friday, March 7 at Tabb Lanes in Camrose. About 90 bowlers enjoyed a great afternoon of fun and friendly competition. The bowlers included Centra Cam clients and staff and members of the Challenge teams. “There were great prizes donated by local businesses. Each year, the support for the Bowl-a-thon is very strong,” said David. “The main goals of the Bowl-a-thon are to increase awareness of

EMCO Corporation finished third. The team from CIBC raised over $650 to win the ninth annual Bank Challenge Cup. Also competing for the Bank Challenge Cup were teams from Scotiabank, Battle River Credit Union, the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank.
“The Bowl-a-thon is our major annual fundraising event. Centra Cam clients, staff and board members thank the community for sponsoring our bowlers,” added David. “We also want to send a thank you out to all who donated prizes and are so supportive of this important annual event.”
Tofield ER resumes regular hours The Tofield Health Centre has resumed regular hours of operation of 24-hours a day, seven days a week following successful physician recruitment efforts. Alberta Health Services, the Tofield and Area Health Services Foundation, the Tofield Recruitment and Retention Committee, Dr. Richard Hackett and other community and surrounding area partners worked together to help bring Dr. Mohammed Muneer to the community. Dr. Muneer began practising in Tofield on March 24. The emergency department was operating on a modified schedule since last May due to a shortage of physicians in the community.
EICS planning for new high school in Camrose By Murray Green
St. Patrick School and Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School (OLMP) students could literally be hanging from the rafters if a new school isn’t built in the community in the next few years. Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS) held an informational session on March 20 for the Camrose community on the growth pressures they are experiencing. The EICS board and school staff wanted to share their thoughts on capital planning for the next 10 years. “One of the things in Camrose we need to address is the growth. Our schools are bursting at the seams and I know that is because of the great work people are doing in our schools,” said EICS superintendent Michael Hauptman. “People can see the value of Catholic education in this community,” St. Patrick School currently has 412 students. “We are already taking registrations for next year and we are currently booked in with 428 for next year. Our school continues to grow,” said Joe Kucy, principal at St. Patrick School. “We are super excited, but it is also very stressful from the point of view that we are going to have to find some space.” The school will be expanding before the fall. “We have applied for more portable classrooms and additional washrooms,” said the principal. “It will give us more space, which is fantastic. We have increased class size ratios to accommodate growth. However,

OLMP staff member Brad Burns explains to Betty Barrett where the new modernization and portables will be housed at the school next fall.
increased class sizes are always a concern.” St. Patrick School has combined its computer lab and music room, eliminated the arts center to create a regular classroom, and converted the library to student center space and a part-time classroom. “One of the biggest concerns I hear from our Grade 4 to 6 students is the distance of bathrooms,” said Kucy. “The students are housed in the far north end of our school. That is a concern because it is a need. St. Patrick uses the staff room for collaborative space and as a sickroom when needed. OLMP uses a garage for storage and a bus, which reduces that space for St. Patrick. There is no space for a chapel, or small meeting area.
“We understand the pressures of growth. The portables will be a temporary fix, but we are looking for a long term fix,” superintendent Hauptman added. “OLMP was designed to be a kindergarten to Grade 6 school with one home room for each class and when we moved in back in 2003 we had 132 students,” said Pat Olafson, principal at OLMP. “We presently have 385 students and are currently taking on new registrations and have already taken on some waiting lists.” OLMP will be receiving four more portables before the fall. It has school modernization plans, waiting lists, and educational assistants and students who meet at a desk in the back of the custodial area. The sick
room is being used for individual and one-on-one meetings, the chapel is now a classroom, the teacher work room is now a classroom, a small paper room was converted to a photocopier/work space. Two teacher desks and work areas are in some classrooms so teachers have a work space (even if a another class is going on), and library space is used parttime as a classroom. “They have to limit staff eating and meeting in the staff room at noon as it was built for 12 and we are at 27,” said principal Olafson. When OLMP expands to have more modules, they will also need to address parking, site circulation because of bus traffic and student drop-off using the same lane, and site restrictions for
expansion of core space past the recently announced CTS addition. “Our schools provide a strong, faith-based Catholic educational program valued by our community,” said superintendent Hauptman. “Students from Camrose and surrounding areas are making our schools their school of choice.” High density population in limited space leads to increased health and safety concerns. “Current growth pressures have resulted in schools having to turn away students,” added Hauptman. “Crowded spaces increase challenges in the area of programming.” EICS secretary-treasurer Ryan Stierman explained the numbers. “Camrose is growing at about 1.5 per cent per year according to the 2011 census. Growth at EICS schools is significantly higher,” he said. Growth is occurring in all grades, but especially at ECS and Grade 7 at OLMP. Growth is hard to predict into the future due to reconfiguration of the public system. While OLMP and St. Patrick’s have been approved for an additional nine modulars, current projections have the schools at 111 per cent capacity in 2019. ECS enrolment and growth will continue at current rates (80 students now) as supported by growing zero to five age census numbers (5.8 per cent of total population in 2011 compared to 5.5 per cent in 2008).

EICS making plans for new high school in Camrose Continued from page 10
Battle River School Division is reconfiguring its schools to kindergarten (K) to Grade 4, Grade 5 to 8 and Grade 9 to 12. It is assumed that the Grade 7 bump will discontinue in 2014 as a result. OLMP last year lost 15 per cent of its Grade 9 students. It is assumed due to no more Grade 7 bump and the new offerings possible in the addition, that OLMP will retain its Grade 9 students into Grade 10. EICS is estimating three per cent growth in K to Grade 6 and two per cent growth in Grades 7 to 12. Each year, school jurisdictions submit their threeyear capital plans and modular requests to the department, which are updated annually and tie into the jurisdiction’s long-term facility plan. “New and replacement schools, modulars, modernizations and additions are approved and funded solely by the provincial government,” said Stierman. Education prioritizes these project requests by first considering school board priorities and then other criteria, including health and safety of students and staff, enrolment projections, current utilization (85 per cent considered full), facility conditions and capacity for program delivery. Projects are approved when funds become available. Education’s needs are looked at in the context of the infrastructure needs of other government ministries including roads, hospitals and universities. Both schools will experience loss of play surface, while adding more modulars will put a strain on the core building resources. Science room space will be short, large and small ancillary space will be short, info services space will be limited, gym and physical education space will be short, gym storage will be short, library will be short, administration space will be limited and general storage will be reduced. “The school division will be putting in a request for a new 600 capacity high school in Camrose at an estimated cost of $17.6 million. This is currently on our priority list for the board of trustees,” said Stierman. Portable requests and approvals are to rectify short term space issues until the high school is built. A new school would allow for EICS to have a middle school housed at OLMP. The proposal provides a new 21st century facility to high school students, provides high school amenities to middle years students and parking that is adequate for a middle school. The major benef it of a new school would allow for smaller class sizes in ea rly yea rs at St. Patr ick. “It would br ing us in line with what A lber ta Education would like us to be at,” Rya n said. Trustees will be reviewing feedback as part of the decision process to form a future capital plan. “Its a wonderful challenge for us and I have to thank the staff for creating this challenge. It is the teachers that are in front of the class that are making the difference, and causing the growth, as well as the great leadership in administration,” said superintendent Hauptman in closing.

Stress is a normal part of everyday life for children and adults. It helps to motivate us and adds a positive challenge to life. However too much stress can be counter productive and overwhelming. Even very young children experience stress, and it’s important for parents to recognize and help children learn to deal effectively with it. High levels of unrelieved stress can lead to behavior problems and can interfere with a child’s ability to function normally. When we help children deal with stress, they begin to build coping skills they will need throughout life. Parents and or caregivers have the ability to help their children deal with stress using simple tools. To learn these tools, register for Kids have Stress too. Community Centre Room 231

Unfortunately few of them are going beyond the simple minded blaming of the railways. A recent presentation by the president of the Grain Workers Union Local 333 to the Agricultural Producers’ Association of Saskatchewan sheds some light on other areas of the grain shipping problem. This is the union representing the people who actually put the grain in the ships, among other things. In spite of the hyperbolic nonsense that shows up in the press about strikes, this is a union that has not taken any job action for 12 years, so it is hardly militant. Those farmers who actually paid attention to what the farmer controlled Wheat Board was doing know that the CWB was exceptionally efficient at getting the right grain to the right customer. Most of the time in the last 10 years the CWB paid no net demurrage for keeping ships waiting and often ended up putting extra money into farmers’ pockets because the ship owners paid extra money (dispatch) when their ships were loaded and on their way faster than expected. These amounts typically ranged between $4 and $8 million. In 1996-97 when the CWB had to pay ship owners for late delivery, the farmer controlled CWB sued those responsible for the delay and collected double what the demurrage had cost and then went on to earn extra money each year because of the market discipline they had administered. So how bad is it now? There are currently around 50 ships waiting to load between Vancouver and Prince Rupert. According to the very expensive Market Research Services Newsletter that Ritz’s ver-
sion of the CWB issues monthly, each ship costs in the order of $15,000 per day including fuel costs. According to the Grain Workers’ Union presentation: “We have ships that take three weeks to a month or longer to finish loading product. We don’t see any ships that arrive and are able to start and finish loading without being kicked back to anchor at least one time, but the rule is generally two times sent to anchor. A ship being sent to anchor during the single desk was a very rare occurrence.” What has this done to the price of grain? The CWB Market Research Services newsletter of Feb. 26 indicates the price of wheat at Vancouver is $11.38 while the average price farmers are getting in the country is around $4.69, assuming they can sell it at all. In a recent Ag Outlook Conference in Camrose one of the presenters said “farmers are losing on average at least $1 per bushel on any grain sold because of the shipping problems alone. On top of the above the railways are still a major cause of the problem. A grain company with a local facility ordered 5,000 cars last week and had 1,400 delivered so there is a big gap between what is needed and what is delivered. It is now fair to ask if this mess is really the railways’ and grain companies’ bungling the marketing or are the grain companies simply exercising their market power to take more money from farmers by manipulating the system for their own profit. The future looks even worse because the customers who relied on the integrity of the farmer controlled Wheat Board are going elsewhere. Saskatchewan economy minister Bill Boyd obviously forgot his speaking notes when he let slip that there would be at least a 25 per cent carryover of old crop into the new crop year until sometime in 2015. So there will be a massive carryover of Canadian grain, depressing prices on the prairies and around the world. Barring a major crop failure in Canada or the US, this is the new normal. Why should non-farmers give two hoots about this issue? The answer is their money, but that is another story. Horst Schreiber Ohaton

“Got no checkbooks, got no banks. Still I’d like to express my thanks - I’ve got the sun in the mornin’ and the moon at night.” Irving Berlin
Start saving money Every year, during the month of February, financial institutions stress the importance of saving and they disseminate information to help people make decisions that will have a beneficial impact on their financial wellbeing over a lifetime. Promoted are saving through Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP) and/or various other plans that may better suit an individual’s situation. The primary thrust of the campaign is to stress the importance of saving. We are well advised to pay attention to the message. We have been reminded often, recently, that many Canadians are not saving and are living beyond their means. One does not have to be a financial wizard to see that spending $160 for every $100 earned will lead to disaster.
Everyone would agree that having a lifelong savings plan would ease one’s worries about being able to cope with unexpected blips of misfortune and insufficient financial security for a comfortable retirement. Fortunate are the children whose parents begin teaching them money management from an early age. Kevin O’Leary, successful entrepreneur who is part of CBC’s Lang & O’Leary Exchange, says he taught his children to start saving at age five. Other financial advisers have praised all parents who teach their children to manage money within the limits of their childhood and teenage allowances. Educators, too, are adding money management to school curricula.
Tax tips for students By Professor Maureen Donnelly from the Goodman School of Business at Brock University
For students, the month of April brings not only the stress of final exams but also the deadline for filing your tax return. Of course you need to make sure you’re paying what the law requires, but you also want to take advantage of some of the ways that students can reduce their tax bills. Here are a few of the FAQs from student taxpayers. 1. I have tips from my part-time job. They’re not shown on my T4; do I have to report them? Yes, they are income from employment and even if they’re not included on your T4 slip, you must report them. It is your responsibility to keep track of your employment earnings. 2. I’m a full-time student and have scholarship income – Is that taxable? Probably not. If your form T2202A from your university shows you’re eligible for a full-time education credit, then your scholarship income will be tax-exempt. But if the scholarship came from your employer it’s likely to be considered employment income, and will be taxed. 3. I know that my university will issue me a form so that I can get tax credits for tuition, education and textbooks. I don’t think I have enough income to make use of it so is it worthless to me? Although these tax credits can have substantial value given the cost of university education, they are non-refundable. That means that you can only use them to reduce tax you would otherwise have to pay. You do have to claim them on your own return, even if somebody else paid your fees. You may want to transfer an amount to your parent or spouse, or carry the
unused amount to a future year when you have to pay income tax. 4. I don’t have much income but I did make some charitable donations in 2013. I’ve never had donations before. How does that work? If you’re a first-time donor, there’s a new “super-credit” for charitable donations that boosts the value of the regular charitable donations tax credit by 25 per cent on donations made after March 20, 2013. There’s a “charitable donation tax credit calculator” on the Canada Revenue Agency website to help you. Like your tuition and education credits, unused amounts of charitable donations credit can be carried forward to future years. 5. I have so little income that I’m sure I have nothing to pay. Is there any point in filing a tax return? Yes, there are several reasons you should file a tax return even when you don’t owe anything. First, if you paid any tax, you’ll need to file to get a refund. Secondly, if you have credits that you can’t use this year but can carry-forward to future years when you will have tax to pay, file a return so that these amounts are put on record. Thirdly, your tax return will be used to assess your eligibility for the GST/HST credit. Also, if you have income, reporting it will increase your future RRSP deduction limits. These are just a few of the tax matters that are relevant to many students. You will certainly have others if you’re an international student, a student with a disability, a married student or a co-op student. The Canada Revenue Agency has a pamphlet just for you – “Students and Income Tax” available from their website at www.cra.gc.ca

Ceremony marks Francophone Day The first Prix de la Francophonie awards ceremony was held at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta on March 20 to mark International Francophonie Day. Guests of honor such as City of Camrose deputy mayor Bill Sears and Augustana Campus dean Allen Berger expressed their support of this venture to encourage second language learning in our community. These inaugural awards featured two components: the Prix d’excellence and the Prix du concours de la francophonie. Students from
Grade 6 to university having demonstrated excellence in their study of French, their appreciation of the French language and cultures, and their engagement in the spoken language received Excellence Awards. Winners of the singing and writing competitions received prizes for their performances. Over fifty students from kindergarten to university participated in these competitions.

BRCU members approve merger with Caisse Horizon Credit Union By Dan Jensen
Battle River Credit Union members have given their approval to a merger with Caisse Horizon Credit Union. “Both management teams, the legal minds involved and the provincial regulators see the value and the opportunity in this merger,” said BRCU director Ron Pilger before presenting the amalgamation resolution for a vote at BRCU’s annual general meeting March 26. “It is a business decision that I am very comfortable calling a win-win for Horizon and Battle River Credit Union members.” The shared vision is a credit union that will be operationally competitive. “The new credit union will be differentiated through an unequalled level of service,” said Pilger. “We will generously support, or as the case may already be, continue to be a great corporate citizen in each of the communities in which we will proudly conduct business.” The concept of amalgamation was first introduced at a meeting of the Battle River Credit Union board last October. “After initial dialogue between Battle River and Horizon management it was determined there might be an uncanny fit between the two organizations,” said Pilger, adding that Caisse Horizon lacked the economy of size and scale and the financial ability that would make it competitive and appealing in the competitive marketplace. “Thus, a very pleasant courtship was undertaken, very willingly, between both management teams and both boards.” Both Caisse Horizon and Battle River Credit Union are well-known, well-respected and well-trusted in their respective geographic areas,

NEW NAME
Vision Credit Union (the new name of Battle River Credit Union and Caisse Horizon Credit Union) will officially begin operations on May 1. “We are going to need signage for our buildings, stationery and new promotional items,” said Battle River Credit Union associate vice president of finance and strategy Dan Hautzinger. “We are trying to have as much of that ready for May 1 as we can.” Caisse Horizon will be operating on its current banking system until November. “They need the extra time because they are operating on a different banking system than us,” said Hautzinger. The new logo for Vision Credit Union is expected to be finalized by early this week. have a strong base of loyal members, and have grown in terms of membership, volume and reach of service area. Battle River Credit Union is currently the highest ranked Credit Union in the province in terms of legislated capital requirements. Members of the Caisse Horizon and BRCU boards and executive management teams made their recommendation for amalgamation after an exhaustive level of due diligence. “All parties involved came to the same conclusion – vision if you will – opportunity that knocks for the combined corpo-
ration, benefits for members, a more secure future for the two separate corporations by combining into one,” said Pilger. The new credit union will have 17 full-service branches with approximately $800 million in assets and serve the needs of 23,000 members. “It will be a stronger corporation that will be poised well for future opportunities as they may arise, particularly in the markets in which we function best – small town Alberta,” said Pilger. Camrose Savings and Credit Union began in 1950 with one branch, 21 members and $178 in assets. An
amalgamation with Flagstaff Credit Union in 1977 allowed it to begin serving members in Viking and Sedgewick, while an amalgamation with Vegreville and District Savings and Credit Union in 1984 resulted in the name being changed to Battle River Credit Union. In 2000, BRCU purchased seven Bank of Montreal branches which were, at that time, located outside its trading area. “I remember well the discussion, the apprehension, the logic for and against,” said Pilger. “The price tag was hefty, the opportunity unclear. With due diligence, vision and optimism we paid the asking price and ultimately secured our future.” Pilger said the costs of operating on a small scale today are, unfortunately, not conducive to survival and profitability. “In recent years, the extra costs of staffing and general operations in order to comply with new regulatory requirements, training and technology are remarkable – almost unthinkable. To put some perspective on this general statement, consider this: an upgrade to BRCU’s computer system for modernday member banking is an investment of $1.5 million. In the last five to 10 years there has been considerable change in the area of technology, member banking security measures and risk management. Additional staff and hefty amounts of money with no offsetting revenue potential are now directed towards keeping members’ money safer than ever before.” The amalgamation was also unanimously approved by the Caisse Horizon Credit Union March 27.
Hancock, Oberle issue statements Premier Dave Hancock has commended the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in raising awareness of the impact of the residential school experience on First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples across Canada. “Reconciliation has the power to bring light and healing to a dark period of history,” said Hancock in an official statement March 27. “I thank the commission for allowing me to address and hear from participants.” Aboriginal Relations Minister Frank Oberle said it is important that all Albertans better understand the history and painful legacy of residential schools in Canada. “Our government recognizes the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada in educating Albertans about this tragic period,” said Oberle, “and providing former students with an opportunity to share their stories.” Oberle said the government continues to work with aboriginal leadership, communities and agencies to enhance the lives of aboriginal Albertans. As a gesture of reconciliation at the TRC’s Alberta national event, Canada provided support to approximately 500 former students so they could attend the event and share their experiences.
City and County will be gathering to pray May 14 The fourth Annual Camrose and City Prayer Breakfast will take place on Wednesday, May 14. The Camrose and District Ministerial Association along with Mayor Norm Mayer and Reeve Don Gregorwich are inviting city and county residents to take in this unique event. The breakfast will be held from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Norsemen Inn. The focus for this year’s Breakfast and prayers will be the members of our community protective services. Camrose City Police member Const. Kelly Bauer will give face and personality to the topic as the guest speaker, while Mary Ann Pastuk will offer the community
Const. Kelly Bauer
prayers. GloryBound quartette will provide music for the event. Members of protective
services – police, firefighters, peace officers, and emergency medical personnel – face challenges and demands the general public rarely encounters. The breakfast and prayers are being planned as a way to express appreciation and to offer personal and spiritual support to them. Prayer breakfasts like the Camrose event are fashioned after the National Prayer Breakfast in Ottawa, scheduled this year for May 8. Participants are invited to come together in the spirit of unity that crosses religious, social and political boundaries to pray for and bless their communities. This year’s speaker,
Const. Bauer, has served the community of Camrose as a police officer for nearly ten years. Prior to policing, Bauer enjoyed a successful career in the agriculture sales and service industry. He is married to Monique, and together they enjoy parenting their very active girls. Kelly is also an outstanding triathlete, having competed in a variety of distances including the Penticton and Kona Ironman triathlons. His presentation will provide a glimpse into how prayer and personal faith has given him courage and confidence in all of his pursuits. Tickets for the event must be purchased in advance and are available
for $20 per person or $160 for a table of eight persons. A gourmet breakfast will be served and participants will have the opportunity to express gratitude and encouragement to all protective services personnel. Tickets are available from Camrose County office, Camrose City Hall (Mirror Lake Centre), Wiseman’s Way Bookstore, and most churches in Camrose. Organizing team member Brian Krushel, along with the whole Camrose and District Ministerial Association cordially invite the general public to this inspiring event. For general information and tickets, please call 780672-3461.

Canadian Artiques Roadshow announces local food bank to receive donation By Amy Luccianio, Roadshow Staff Writer
The staff of Canadian Artiques Roadshow have chosen the Camrose Food Bank as their charity of choice to receive the proceeds from their event at the Duggan Mall on April 9th through to the 12th. Our executive staff understands the demands food banks are always facing. Over the many years that we have been on tours across Canada, the roadshow has uncovered millions of dollars in art and antiques but just recently we have set up a gold and silver buying service at each roadshow that puts hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the communities. We would often hear horror stories of people being ripped off by selling their gold jewelry or silver coins to pawn shops, or mailing their valuables to someone they didn’t know, and receiving nowhere near the true value. Everyone has a broken chain or a ring they no longer wear or want. At each roadshow we have our own gold and silver evaluator on site to determine the purity of each piece of jewelry. The evaluator then weighs them individually, as 10 - 14- 18 and 22 karat jewelry all have different gold values. Also purchased at each roadshow are silver coins from Canada and the USA as well as coin sets such as Olympic coins, Royal Canadian Mint collections and even gold coins from Europe, Asia, Australia, Canada and the USA. At our recent roadshow in Red Deer, one elderly lady brought in three US silver dollars, two Canadian Silver Dollars, and four fifty-cent Canadian coins. The US silver coins and the fifty cent coins were not rare, but were still worth far more for their silver value. However, after careful examination, our coin expert discovered one of the Canadian coins was in fact a 1948 silver dollar with a current value of $1,800.00. The lady sold all her silver coins at the show but
decided to keep her rare silver dollar and give it to her grandson to help with his education. One further example was the couple from Czar, Alberta who traveled to Red Deer for the roadshow and with them brought six cardboard boxes full of thousands of Canadian and US silver coins which they had inherited. The gentleman’s father had owned three car washes and several coin laundromats in Provost and Wainwright. He had thrown every coin he thought had silver in it into a container, as he felt someday the price of silver would go up and the coins would be worth much more than just face value. Well, he was absolutely correct! The six boxes of coins were worth $3,800.00 at the bank but the roadshow paid them almost $20,000.00. Asked what they would do with their new found wealth the lady thought a trip to sunny Mexico would be nice and the gentleman suggested a new riding lawnmower would fit the bill. With a few giggles they left to go and make their decisions. Even old costume jewelry can be worth a small fortune. If you’re not sure if it’s gold – no worries. The roadshow staff have many years’ experience evaluating and can determine what is gold and what isn’t gold. There is an old saying ‘not everything that glitters is gold,’ but if it is gold, it’s worth knowing! The Canadian Artiques Roadshow wishes to thank the staff and management at the Duggan Mall for their support in hosting the roadshow as well as the Camrose Booster for their much appreciated help in getting the word out to all those who wish to bring in their treasures and collectables during our four-day event in Camrose. What’s in your treasure chest? SEE YOU AT THE ROADSHOW April 9th to the 12th at the Duggan Mall.

Charlie Killam Jazz Ensemble retreat celebrates 10 years Submitted
Imagine a young Camrose hockey player getting the chance to practice with Sydney Crosby or a local student golfer having the opportunity to workshop with Tiger Woods. Well, junior high jazz ensemble students from the Charlie Killam Music program had such an experience recently with Brad Shigeta, professional trombonist based out of New York City, along with some of the best jazz musicians in western Canada! The annual Charlie Killam Junior High Jazz Ensemble retreat had it’s 10th year anniversary at the Battle Lake 4-H Camp this past January. Every year the jazz band camp, established and arranged by Charlie Killam Music Program director Bob Bailey, features well known jazz educators and working professional musicians. Drawing heavily from the Edmonton area, some of the clinicians are icons in the industry, having worked under the likes of Tommy Banks, for example. This year’s personnel included Bobby Cairns (guitarist, Tommy Banks band member, former chair of the guitar
program at Grant MacEwan University), Dennis Rusinak (this year’s guest conductor, retired school band educator, professional saxophonist/ clarinetist), and other professionals such as Doug Berner (trumpet), Laura Ouellette (saxophone), Nathan Ouellette (drums), Steve Badatch (bass guitar), and Charlie Austin (piano). This year was particularly exciting for the students with New York’s Brad Shigeta as one of the clinicians. Brad Shigeta received his music education in Canada, later moving to New York City to study with trombonist Jimmy Knepper and legendary Count Basie Orchestra trombonist Benny Powell. This led to taking over Benny’s chair with the Clifford Jordan Big Band, and then to many international and national tours as well as recordings and film scores with the Illinois Jacquet Big Band, the Dave Holland Big Band, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks and the Duke Ellington Orchestra under the direction of Mercer Ellington. Brad can be heard re-creating Jack Jenny and
Jack Teagarden solos on the soundtrack for Martin Scorcese’s blockbuster movie The Aviator, as well as on the newly released CD of swing standards by Danny Aiello. The format of the jazz band retreat includes sectionals with the individual clinicians followed by full ensemble workshop sessions with the guest conductor. There are also team building exercises and, of course, fun and games for the students. They enjoy outdoor activities such as snowshoeing and toboggoning, and indoor “camp” games, as well as a movie. Other annual band camps arranged by Mr. Bailey, usually held at Camp Nakamun (near Barrhead), include a Grade 7 Concert Band Camp and a Grade 8 Concert Band Camp. The Grade 9 Concert Band is treated to a four-day band tour instead of a camp. Camps/retreats are a great way for music students to progress, become more refined, and simply bond as a ensemble team. But working with the calibre of these clinicians – especially Brad Shigeta, is a special treat and one the students will likely not forget!

City of Camrose conducting census in month of April By Dan Jensen The City of Camrose wants you to count yourself in! Twenty-five enumerators will be conducting a municipal census in the month of April to produce an accurate population count that, along with providing the basis for calculating per capita grants for the City of Camrose, will assist with short and long term planning. “The number one thing we are trying to establish is the population count, so the first question the enumerators will ask is how many people live in this household as of April 1,” said census coordinator Kim Isaak. Enumerators will also be asking the sex of the individuals for demographic calculations, as well as whether they are public or school board supporters. “The information will assist the school boards for their planning for future years,” said Isaak. Knowledge of ages distribution is required to plan programs and facilities for schools, recreation centres, senior citizens and housing requirements. “Other characteristics of the census are much more meaningful when studied in conjunction with age,” said Isaak. “School districts use this information to project student enrolment at a district-wide level as well as at a school by school grade level and their facility requirements.” While any resident has the right to refuse to answer the census questions, it is in their best interest that they be counted. To be missed from the census means that Camrose misses out on much needed per capita grant funds used for service delivery, as well as the information required to make informed decisions on the use of the funds. “Based on the last census we did in 2011 the City is receiving a combined total of $302 per person in grant funding for 2014 from the provincial and federal governments,” said Isaak. “These grants represent a substantial amount of money and improve the quality of life for Camrosians.” The total population of Camrose in the last census was 17,236. Enumerators will make up to three visits to the home. If no one is present the first or second times they will leave a bright pink sheet in the mailbox with directions to submit their information over the phone. The third time they visit the enumerators will leave the phone number for City Hall. “The enumerators will all be wearing City of Camrose identification and be carrying an official letter from myself as census coordinator verifying that they are doing the census, or the door to door work, on behalf of the City,” said Isaak. Enumerators are instructed on the importance of ensuring the information that is collected is protected. “Census workers are aware that the census information provided cannot be shared with anyone other than a member of the census team,” states a City of Camrose under the frequently asked questions section on the census website. “Each census worker signs a statement of Census Worker to reinforce those expectations. The statement is printed on the back of their City-issued identification.” The municipal census will be a little different from the federal census that was completed in 2012. “I have enumerators who have done both the federal and the municipal census and they say that residents are much more cooperative with the municipal because they know they are going to see more direct benefit,” said Isaak. “The federal census is a little more onerous and people feel that it doesn’t provide as much benefit.” Under census regulations, a person can only have one place of usual residence. If a person has more than one residence in Alberta, that person shall designate one place of residence as his or her usual residence – the place he or she lives and sleeps and to which, when absent, intends to return. A student, who is in attendance at an educational institution within or outside of Alberta, temporarily rents accommodation for the purpose of attending an educational institution, and has family members who are usually resident in Alberta and with whom the student usually resides when not in attendance at an educational institution, is deemed to reside with those family members. Data provided from the households will be entered into the City’s Census Reporting System for long term management and data report generation purposes. The forms containing the original data from the forms will be destroyed to ensure the protection of the information from unauthorized access. The retention of information is in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
GRAHN, Shara-Lea April 22nd, 1967 March 22nd, 2014
She was born in Vancouver, B.C. but grew up a farm girl in the Silver Valley district of northern Alberta. After marrying in 1987, she settled in to life on the farm with her husband, Bill, in the Camrose area, where she raised kids and sheep, baked fantastic cinnamon buns and homemade pizzas and attended countless soccer games and school functions. In 2007, Shara and Bill decided to move to Lumby, B.C. to be nearer to the mountains, lakes and wineries where they loved to spend their time hiking, biking, playing tennis, skiing, curling and sampling Okanagan wines. She continued to attend countless soccer and basketball games, continued making those fantastic pizzas and even managed to find time to work as a lab assist at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Sadly, she was taken from us far too soon while enjoying a beautiful sunny day skiing down her favourite run, BX Express on Silver Star Mountain. Even in death, she was still giving. Through organ donation, she will carry on in others. Shara is survived by her loving husband, Bill: sons: Ryan, John, and Mathew; daughter, Victoria; parents, Bob and Carol Grams; sister, Lisa (Dennis Stredulinsky); brother, Kevin; as well as numerous other relatives, friends and co-workers. The Celebration of Life for Shara will be held at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home on Saturday, March 29th, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. So raise a glass of your favourite wine to the memory of our beautiful girl. She will be forever in our hearts.

July 20, 1916 – March 22, 2014 Ruth Constance Skaret passed away on March 22, 2014 at the age of 97 years at Bethany Meadows in Camrose. Ruth was predeceased by her husband Richard in 1986; her daughter-in-law Laurelle; her parents Minech and Sophia Jornlin; brothers Lester and Raymond Jornlin; and sisters Velma Gooch, Sylvia Christensen and Leila Grue. She leaves to mourn her children Delmer, Delores (Ed) Antonsen, Linda (Gerry) Polei, Carvel (Dale) and Rick (Carmelita); 15 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law Melva Jornlin and Olga Skaret; brother-in-law Norman Grue; as well as many relatives and friends. Ruth was the fourth child of six born to Minech and Sophia Jornlin. She was raised on a farm in the Armena-Dinant area where she attended Thronson School. After working on the farm and briefly in Camrose, she married Richard (Dick) Skaret on June 26, 1938. They farmed the Skaret homestead and raised five children – Delmer, Delores, Linda, Carvel and Rick. Life was good to them, revolving around family, community, and Scandia Lutheran Church. Upon retirement, Dick and Ruth moved to Camrose where they continued to enjoy life. Mom lived her life well, always putting others first and sharing her love, joy, patience and kindness with all. She enjoyed being busy and in her spare time enjoyed quilting. Her “crazy quilts” are a treasure! But she was happiest with family and friends sharing coffee and a good visit. We will always remember her smile and the twinkle in her eye. We were blessed to have her in our lives. Thank you, Mom. We love you. Funeral Services were held on Friday, March 28, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. from Scandia Lutheran Church in Armena with Rev. Bill Harder and Rev. Prema Lyseng officiating. Interment has taken place in Scandia Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Scandia Lutheran Church or to a charity of your choice.

Celebration of Life for
Rosemary (Rosi) Broemling
Beverly (Bev) A. Decker February 14, 1944 – March 13, 2014 Bev passed away peacefully surrounded by her family in Lethbridge, AB. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 50 years, Donald (Don); daughter Michelle (Kory); granddaughters Lisa, Brandy and Chantel (Tanner); and great-granddaughters Natasha, Abigail and Jade. A Celebration of Life will be held on April 5, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. at Champion Community Cemetery, Champion, AB. Fellowship to follow.
Irene Hewitt Irene Helen Marie Emilie Hewitt, nee Van de Sompel, was born in Kamsack, SK on May 3, 1921. She was married to George Arthur “Art” Hewitt on May 30, 1947. He predeceased her in 2009. Irene and Art had five children John (wife Barb) of Perth, ON, Larry (wife Colleen) of Fort Nelson, BC, Dan (wife Carolyn) of Ottawa, ON, Paul (wife Barbara) of Maple Ridge, BC and Arlene (husband Russell) Woodfine of Camrose, AB. She was also grandmother to 13 and great-grandmother to 8. Irene was a multi-faceted and gifted woman who, in many ways, was both far ahead of her time and a role model for several generations of women. Not only did she fill roles such as educator and quality control manager in a munitions factory during WWII, she was also a social and human rights activist, taking on many controversial issues affecting people locally, nationally and internationally. She was a writer of renown, with many articles, exposes and stories published in Canadian and American magazines, newspapers, journals and other media outlets. One achievement of which Irene was particularly proud was an investigation of environmental poisoning affecting the health of families in our hometown, Flin Flon, that led to her writing and producing a television documentary for W5 that, ultimately, led to the resolution of the problems. Additionally, a passion of hers was fighting for disenfranchised and disadvantaged people, and her advocacy for these groups resulted in the establishment of the Indian-Métis Friendship Association in Flin Flon. Her hard work on this difficult task provided secure lodging and food for First Nations People accompanying their family members undergoing medical treatment. The success of this initiative led in no small part to the establishment of similar services for First Nations People in many cities across Canada, providing supportive services for the family members of seriously medically ill patients. These achievements and others are documented in a book that illustrates accomplishments by numerous exceptional but heretofore unheralded Canadian individuals. Although never truly “retiring,” Irene spent the last few years of her life with Art surrounded by the love and care of her daughter Arlene, her husband Russell, and their children in Camrose, AB. Her powerful faith provided not only the impetus for the advocacy work; it also sustained and coloured all aspects of her life. She passed away quietly on March 24, 2014. A Divine Liturgy was held at 10:00 a.m., Friday, March 28, 2014 at the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Camrose with the Very Rev. Greg Faryna. Memorial donations may be made to the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute or to Covenant Place.

2014 Ford F-150 One of Canada’s premiere trucks
Craig Beddoes
By Dan Jensen The 2014 Ford F-150 pickup at Lamb Ford Sales maintains its reputation as one of Canada’s premier pickups. Powered by either a 3.7 litre V-6, a 5.0 litre V-8, a 6.2 litre V-8, or the hightech EcoBoost V-6, the Ford F-150 has all the power you need to get the job done. The standard 3.7 litre V-6 features dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder, plus twin-independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) technology. Ti-VCT allows for variable control of the intake and exhaust camshafts, optimizing combustion at full load to increase power and low- speed torque. It also enables variable valve overlap, which enhances fuel economy and improves cold-start operation with lower exhaust emissions. The available 5.0 litre Ti-VCT has the most horsepower (360) and torque (380 lb.-ft), plus the highest towing capacity of any smalldisplacement V-8 engine plus best-in-class payload. And it flexes all this muscle while delivering 14 litres per 100 km in the city and 9.7 litres per 100 km on the highway. Other notable fea-
tures are a high-strength aluminum engine block, optimized camshafts and 10.5:1 compression ratio to help maximize low-speed torque, and a cylinder head designed to increase airflow. The available 6.2 litre V-8 features power ratings of 411 horsepower and 434 lb.-ft. of torque – enough to easily tow a 5,125 kg trailer when properly equipped. Efficiency and durability are ensured by lightweight aluminum cylinder heads and pistons and a cast-iron block. The EcoBoost V-6 has an impressive maximum towing capability of 5,125 kg and offers up to 3,100 lbs of payload. Direct injection produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel, while the two small air-toair intercooled turbochargers spool up much more quickly than a single large turbo. The EcoBoost® engine underwent over 1,900 hours of testing at full-boost conditions, as well as thermal testing to simulate 10 years of operation in the harshest environments. The standard electronically controlled 6-speed close-ratio transmission helps optimize power delivery for excellent fuel
economy. A selectable tow/ haul mode improves performance when towing or hauling heavy loads. It compensates for grade and load and reduces gear hunting, improving power delivery. Engine braking also helps slow the truck when descending hills. The available SelectShift® Automatic has two modes of operation — Progressive Range Select or Full Manual. Progressive Range Select lets you toggle on the shift lever to reduce the range of available gears while in Drive. Tap down into Range Select mode and the display shows the available gears and highlights the one in use. This feature allows you to limit the use of upper gears when heavily loaded or while towing on grades. Full Manual function lets you pull the shift lever into “M” for manual mode and use the same toggle switch to select the gear desired. The display will show the selected gear and the control system will lock the torque converter and hold that gear for a full manual transmission feel. F-150 has a cargo box volume of 2,302 litres (81.3 cu. ft.). The available tailgate step and box side steps, both class-exclusive fea-
tures, provide easier access to all that payload capability. Standard Trailer Sway Control (TSC) builds on the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®) system to help maintain trailer control through selective wheel braking and reduced engine torque. The electronic-locking rear differential, when engaged, locks the rear axle completely to provide maximum traction at both rear wheels at the same time. The electronic-locking rear differential is fully integrated with the AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™ (RSC®) system to deliver excellent control when travelling on- or off-road. Interior The quiet environment inside the Ford F-150 owes much to the Ford 720-degree approach to noise reduction through sound engineering. Its stiff frame and body, shear-style body mounts, door seals, Quiet Steel® and a noise-absorbing headliner all work together to reduce unwanted noise and vibration. The class-exclusive fully flat load floor in the cargo compartment provides 1,569L (55.4 cu. ft.) of usable cab space. The seat cushion
folds up and out of the way and the doors swing wide open to allow easy access to this large amount of space. The available rearview camera uses a camera mounted in the tailgate to produce a large and bright real-time visual display in the interior rearview mirror. Or the visual is displayed on the available 8-inch MyFord Touch®20 LCD touch screen. The standard Personal Safety System™ uses the electronic crash-severity sensor, a restraint-control module, a driver’s seat position sensor, dual-stage front airbags, eight Front Passenger Sensing System, safety belt pretensioners, safety belt energy management retractors and front outboard safety belt usage sensors to help protect the driver and front seat passenger. The available Navigation provides voice-guided turn-by-turn directions and also your choice of fastest, shortest, or EcoRoute mode that instantly calculates the most fuel-efficient route. Features also include a full-colour 3D bird’s-eye view plus points of interest and the last destinations entered in the system.

Augustana women’s choir concert April 5 The snow must melt, must go, Fast as water flow. Not thus, my soul, O sow Thy gifts to fade like snow... – The Snow, Caroline Alice Elgar As the spring thaw” continues to march across the land, the theme of water, – introduced in the recent Mannskor Spring Concert – continues with the Sangkor Spring Concert entitled Meltwater. Sangkor: Augustana’s women’s choir, joins with the award-winning Ariose Women’s Choir to celebrate the flowing waters of spring and the loves that come with them. Edmonton’s Ariose Women’s Choir, conducted by Jolaine Kerley, is an award-winning choir of 30 singers from every walk of life – all of whom enjoy the challenge of exploring and performing women’s choral music from many styles and periods. In the past, Ariose has been awarded first place in the Equal Voices Choir (female) in CBC’s National Radio Competition for Amateur Choirs, having been a finalist six times, and second place winner on four separate occasions. Augustana’s Sangkor (pronounced sahng-koor) draws its name from the Norwegian “song choir.” This treble ensemble is non-auditioned and open to all Augustana students, as well as to members of the Camrose community. Through the exploration of musics from a variety of times and places, the choir endeavours to develop a broader sense of cultural awareness and cultivates in its members a deeper appreciation for the richness of the choral art. The ensemble is currently directed by Dr. John Wiebe. Don’t miss this delightful concert of diverse music for treble voices on Saturday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. in the Augustana Faith and Life Chapel. For ticket and other information, call 780-679-1532.

Wheat growers says new rail legislation falls short The Western Canadian Wheat Growers’ Association is criticizing the federal government for not going nearly far enough with Bill C-30 to address the serious breakdown in grain shipping capacity on the prairies. “These measures do not adequately tackle the backlog in grain shipments,” said Wheat Growers president Levi Wood.“They also do not position our industry to meet the long-term needs of prairie farmers or our customers.” The association is disappointed the minimum grain shipping requirement remains fixed at one million tonnes per week from April 7 to August 3, 2014. This
means the grain carry-out on prairie farms will exceed 20 million tonnes heading into this year’s harvest, resulting in the continuation of severe price discounts (i.e. wide basis levels) for the foreseeable future. The association had asked that the minimum grain shipments be increased to 13,000 railcars per week (approximately 1.2 million tonnes) instead of 11,000 railcars per week. The backlog of grain orders is over 68,000 railcars representing six million tonnes of grain. “Grain prices to farmers will remain artificially depressed until the backlog is cleared up and the elevator system has the capacity
available to offer competitive bids for our grain,” said Wood. “As long as the elevator system remains plugged, price offers to farmers are likely to remain below market value.” The association had proposed several recommendations to expand rail shipping capacity in the longer term, including an incentive-based revenue cap and measures that would allow shortlines and other rail operators to add capacity to the network when CN and CP are unable or unwilling to meet customer demand. These improvements were not included in the legislation. The association sees some positives in the legislation, including the proposed
increase in interswitching distances and the potential for incorporating meaningful performance provisions, including reciprocal penalties, in service agreements negotiated between grain shippers and the railways. It feels the implementation of a dispute resolution process in the Canada Grain Act should also help improve grain company contracts with farmers, although it notes that having adequate shipping capacity and restoring good working capacity throughout the elevator system is the best means of restoring balanced contractual relationships between farmers and grain companies.
Lamb Ford receives award By Dan Jensen
Lamb Ford Sales Ltd. Camrose joined some elite company last month when it was named one of a select few recipients of Ford of Canada’s 2013 President’s Award. The award is presented annually to Ford and Lincoln dealerships, which demonstrate outstanding achievement in sales and customer satisfaction. “Earning the President’s Award signifies our entire staff’s dedication to delivering customer satisfaction day in and day out,” said Lamb Ford Sales principal Cliff Denham. “I couldn’t be more proud to receive this recognition, especially since it comes from the people we value the most – our customers. They are the reason we are able to accept this award.” Lamb Ford also received the Ford of Canada Diamond Award for peak performance. The award is presented to the top ten per cent of all dealerships that earn the President’s Award. Lamb Ford Sales has received the President’s Award for six out of the last seven years, and the Diamond Award for three of the last four. “It is a very special award to received because it takes the commitment of every department throughout our dealership,” said Lamb Ford Sales general manager Pat Quinlan. Lamb Ford Sales believes that in order to keep customers returning you need to treat them like one of the family. “My theory is if you look after the customer everything else will look after itself,” said Denham. “I think it is important that we treat customers the way we ourselves would like to be treated.” Lamb Ford Sales has always taken good care of the community, supporting organizations like Camrose Minor Sports Association, STARS and the Camrose Kodiaks. “We do extremely well in the community,” said Denham, “so we don’t mind giving back to it.” Denham has never regretted his decision to become a Ford dealer. “I tell people we have had good years and great years, but that we have never had a bad year,” he said. “In my time here, since 1981, we have always been one of the top Ford dealerships in the country.”

Awards are presented in four categories: Heritage Conservation, Heritage Awareness, Municipal Heritage Preservation and Outstanding Achievement. The Heritage Conservation category has been expanded for 2014 and nominations will now be accepted for projects involving the conservation and interpretation of paleontological and archaeological resources. Selfnominations will also be accepted. The 2014 Heritage Awards will be presented in conjunction with Alberta Culture’s Municipal Heritage Forum. The awards ceremony will take place at the Forum’s opening reception in Red Deer, October 16, with forum sessions hosted in nearby Lacombe, October 16 and 17. Since 2005, 33 awards have been presented recognizing the outstanding contributions of individuals, organizations, municipalities and businesses in heritage preservation and conservation. Full details and nomination forms are available online. Deadline for nomination is July 15.
Atom Vikings capture silver

The team, back row left to right, coach Ryan Popowich, coach Reid Lansing, coach Steve Williams and coach Ryan Galenza. Middle row from left to right, Reagan Baumle, Graydon Gotaas, Evan Williams, Brett Sharkey, Jager Broughton, Chance Reum and Owen Lansing.

Missing is Anders Bouck and manager Terry Soch. By Murray Green
The Camrose atom double-A Vikings collected silver medals at the minor provincials March 14 to 16. Going into the tournament the big four teams being talked about were Beaumont, Stony Plain, Chestermere, and Sylvan Lake. The expectations for the Vikings were not making the semifinals or finals. But, they did. This team of hardworking hockey players took down some very big teams to make it to the final game. Camrose opened with a 5-3 loss to the Chestermere Lakers. They were down 3-0 and fought back, but just could not make up the deficit. Camrose opened the scoring with the hard work of Owen Lansing to get the puck to Gabe Tanton for his first of the tournament. The late surge was not enough to catch Chestermere. The Vikings’ other two goals were scored by Brett Sharkey and Carson Taylor. Camrose then defeated one of the tournament favorites, the Sylvan Lake Lakers, 6-2. The game was tied at two after the second period with goals from Sam Popowich and Sharkey. The team then scored four straight goals in the third period. Taylor led the rush to victory with three assists as Popowich scored his second of the game. Aidan Peake netted his first, and Jager Broughton added two more tallies to solidify the win. “The third period against Sylvan was the turning point of our tournament as a team because it got the boys rolling with confidence,” said coach Ryan Popowich. In game three, Camrose beat the Fort Saskatchewan Rangers 6-4 (who beat the
Vikings in the 1660 bronze medal match in league play the weekend before). Fort Saskatchewan jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead, but with five minutes left in the second period, Justin Kushnerik got things going by feeding teammate Popowich for the first Camrose goal of the game. Tanton, and Graydon Gotaas scored to tie the game by the end of the middle frame. Gotaas collected a hat trick by adding two more markers and Sharkey finished off the Rangers with his third goal of the tournament. “Throughout the weekend, I was approached by several people – coaches, tournament coordinators and volunteers – who wanted to acknowledge how polite and respectful our players were. As a coach, that means just as much as, maybe more than our silver medals.” Camrose cranked up the offence in game four with an 8-3 victory over the Calgary Northwest Warriors in a hard fought second period to ensure a spot in the semifinals the following day. Popowich led the squad with a hat trick and Broughton scored twice in support. Reagan Baumle, Sharkey and Gotaas finished off the scoring. Assists came from Lansing, Dylan Soch, Evan Williams and Blake Sitler. The victory launched the Vikings into the semifinals against the Stony Plain Predators. Camrose
was up 4-2 after the first period with goals from Gotaas with two, Chance Reum and Popowich. Broughton added a shorthanded marker in the second to put the team up 5-3 heading in to the third period. Stony Plain was relentless and came back to tie the game with 43 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. After an exhausting team effort and three minutes and 24 seconds into sudden death overtime, Popowich battled behind the net to get the puck to Gotaas for the 6-5 victory. In the final, Camrose met the host Beaumont Braves. The Vikings lost 7-1 and the only goal was scored by Popowich. “The boys were emotionally and physically drained from the semifinal, but showed lots of character to battle with what they had left to keep it close in the first period and a half, but just did not have enough left in the tank to make a push into the third period,” said coach Popowich. The team had spectacular goaltending from Ben Johnson and Gavin Galenza to get the team to the final game. Highlights would have been game two against the top Sylvan team, in which Galenza stopped 36 shots, and game five against Stony Plain in which he stopped 47 shots. Ben Johnson’s highlights were against the Ft. Saskatchewan where he stopped 32 shots to earn the win. “The coaches are so proud of what this group was able to accomplish considering they weren’t given
much of a chance coming into the tournament. This is a team that gelled and really came together as the tournament progressed. No one cared about who was getting the credit, instead it was about everyone doing their part, big or small, to make the team successful. In the end, they took the coaches on a very cool ride that has created memories for a lifetime,” said coach Popowich. Other teams in the tournament were the Brooks Hawks, Kitscoty Rampage and Edmonton SWAT Bombers. “Winning a silver medal at provincials was a great way to end the season. Since the very beginning, we’d been talking to the boys about steady improvement and about peaking at the right time and that’s exactly what they did. I don’t think we were on many teams’ radar going into the tournament and, with nine first year atom players, we were definitely among the youngest teams in the tournament,” said coach Reid Lansing. “But, what we lacked in experience, we made up for with hard work and determination. I couldn’t be more proud of this group and, as proud as I am of their onice accomplishments, I’m equally proud of how they represented our community and Camrose Minor Hockey. Throughout the weekend, I was approached by several people – coaches, tournament coordinators and volunteers – who wanted to acknowledge how polite and respectful our players were. As a coach, that means just as much as, maybe more than our silver medals.”

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.

Alberta assists farmers shipping grain By Murray Green Beginning on April 1, farmers across Alberta will be able to obtain free permits to haul grain on provincial highways when road bans are in effect. After a bumper crop last summer many farmers across the province still have plenty of grain in the bin because of a back log of railcars. To help ease the burden, farmers transporting grain from storage to elevators will be exempt from vehicle weight restrictions on provincial highways. Permits will be available at no cost for grain trucks to travel at 100 per cent axle weight on banned roads, as long as those roads are not damaged. “We’re doing all we can to support Alberta farmers and keep grain moving, even on banned roads when possible. Relaxing road ban limits at a time when our farmers need some flexibility is the right thing to do,” said Wayne Drysdale, minister of transportation. “Agriculture is Alberta’s largest renewable industry and part of the foundation of our rural economy. I am very pleased producers, municipalities and our government are working together with other links in the supply chain to ensure that grain will keep moving to market this spring,” added Verlyn Olson, minister of agriculture and rural development. Special permits will be required from April 1 to June 30 in order to haul extra weight. Alberta Transportation staff will monitor road conditions during this time and suggest alternate travel routes if necessary to keep motorists safe and protect highway infrastructure. Check online for a complete list of current road bans and axle-weight restrictions in effect. To apply for a road ban exemption contact Alberta Transportation’s central permit office toll free at 1-800662-7138 from 6 a.m. to midnight on weekdays, and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends and statutory holidays. Complete the form by providing information on the trip’s origin, destination, route, trucks covered, weights requested, number of loads required and contact information. You can obtain the road ban exemption if the route can withstand your proposed traffic without significant damage according to engineers and regional maintenance staff. Contact the local municipality directly for a permit to haul grain on municipal roads. Spring thawing is tough

Danielle Smith comments on Redford By Dan Jensen
Wildrose leader Danielle Smith didn’t agree with many of the policies of former Premier Alison Redford but never once did she doubt that she was doing what she thought was best for Alberta. “I supported her defence and promotion of Alberta’s energy sector on the national and international stages, and her government’s quick response during the early days of the devastating June floods,” said Smith at the Wildrose Calgary leader’s dinner March 20. “I genuinely believe that whatever our differences she was governing in what she truly thought were the best interests of Albertans. I admired her determination, her strength and her dedication. In the end she was unable to make the changes that many of us both inside and outside of her party were hoping to see from a leader so dramatically different from her predecessor. I thank her for her service to Alberta and for the sacrifices she and her family have made in answering the call of public service.” Smith said Albertans have come to expect very little from their government and from the people they have elected to lead the province. “When new initiatives are announced, Albertans greet them with skepticism and with the same guarded phrase, ‘well, I hope this doesn’t go too badly.’ We have come to expect mediocrity and mismanagement from our government and in some cases we are resigned to the fact that all politicians are the same, all governments are the same, and that it really doesn’t matter who we elect and send to Edmonton – the outcome will be the same. For me as a political leader I find this to be a paradox. Alberta is a global economic leader, a driver of ingenuity, creativity, innovation, and new solutions. Our businesses, charities and communities have led the way in pioneering new ideas and new approaches that start from this simple premise: there is no problem to difficult to solve, too broken to fix or too set in stone to change. And this is where the paradox takes shape. There is a sharp divide between A lberta’s people and their government.” Smith said Albertans look at their government today and no longer see the very best of our values and brightest of our intentions.

“We can no longer believe in the leaders we have or the reasons why they are there. We see a government consumed with its own interests while settling for mediocrity for everybody else.” Smith said the provincial government is gambling our future prosperity on the assumption that our province will remain free from future economic downturns. “To me that is a gamble which is particularly dangerous. We are not just gambling for ourselves, but we are gambling the future prosperity of our children and grandchildren who will be saddled with this debt. To me, mortgaging future generations to pay for our spending today is an unacceptable risk. Rob Anderson, our finance critic, put forward a number of suggestions and recommendations which established a path for Alberta to return to balanced budgets, while still investing in both infrastructure and vital frontline services such as doctors, teachers and nurses. Given our economic resources we believe strongly that we should be able to deliver important programs and services and build critical infrastructure while still balancing the budget and keeping Alberta debt free.”
