Markowsky family gifts $25,000 to performing arts centre

By Dan Jensen

The Todd and Rhonda Markowsky family is looking forward to the Camrose Performing Arts Centre opening this fall.

“I think there is a real need for a place to showcase all the talents in town in the arts,” said Rhonda after her family presented a cheque for $25,000 to the centre Feb. 18.

The Markowsky family has been heavily involved with the Camrose Academy of Dance over the years and knows the disappointment of not being able to perform in front of home town audiences as much as it would like.

“It always has been oh let’s work on all our amazing talents here in town and then let’s go and show them to everyone in Edmonton and Red Deer and Fort Saskatchewan,” said Todd and Rhonda’s son, John, who was involved with the Camrose Academy Dance for 14 years and is now a continuing an undergraduate degree he started at Augustana. “I think there is no better way to spend this $25,000 than in our own town community so that people can see all our hard work and we can kind of build that awareness of what we actually do in Camrose, as opposed to taking it elsewhere to show people.”

John feels the new performing arts centre will be state-of-the-art.

“It is not just any old theatre that we have now. It is quite the facility. It is a good thing to have in Camrose for sure.”

Rhonda, a dentist who moved to Camrose with husband Todd straight from the

John, Rhonda, Brynn and Todd Markowsky presented a cheque for $25,000 to the Camrose Performing Arts Centre Feb. 18. The cheque was accepted by Camrose mayor Norm Mayer.

University of Saskatchewan in 1990, has always felt that Camrose could benefit from a facility like the performing arts centre.

“We go to other places that have really nice theatres and things and we are always asking why we can’t have one here. We thought we better put our support where our feelings are.”

Todd, a psychologist and teacher at Camrose Composite High School for the last

18 years, echoed the comments of Rhonda and John.

“We have been to many communities for (dance) events and I know those events bring in a lot of people,” said Todd, who along with dancing in adult jazz and tap groups for a period of time, has been very involved in sports-oriented activities like the Alberta Summer Games, and, most recently, the Tour of Alberta bike race. “Like many tournaments, whether it be hockey or soccer or any

other kind of event, when you host (an arts event) in the community it enhances the community as well. When you have dance festivals here then you are bringing a lot of people to the restaurants to stay in the hotels, to visit the community, to see what is here. So it (Camrose Performing Arts Centre) functions on many levels in terms of its appearance here.”

Todd and Rhonda’s daughter, Brynn, is excited about the chance to be able

to perform in the Camrose Performing Arts Centre.

“I am graduating this year from Camrose Composite High School and I am completing maybe my second last or last year at the Camrose Academy of Dance,” said Brynn, who has been dancing the last 13 years. “I haven’t decided if I am going to dance next year, but hopefully I will be able to use the facility here. It is going to be another great facility for Camrose.”

Chamber members receive lesson on business marketing

By Dan Jensen

Award-winning marketing strategist and author of the book New Thinking for Tomorrow’s Membership Organization Kyle Sexton gave Camrose Chamber of Commerce members advice how to promote and grow their business at their March 4 general meeting.

Sexton noted that business owners should be paying more attention to their specific brand and story.

“You have to be in control of your story,” said Sexton, adding that the culture of a business makes marketing all the more effective and that businesses who don’t tell the story the way they want it to be told run the risk of having someone else make up a story for them.

“In today’s business economy and in so much of the communications that happens around business marketing and messaging, it is the stories that connect with people and help them get emotional about your business. It is that emotion about your business and its offerings that is going to fuel a buying decision, not the long list of benefits you offer. When

you create an emotional experience in your business, and the key word there is experience, you become more remarkable, and when you become remarkable, you are easier to remark about.”

Sexton expressed the view that, before investing in a remarkable customer experience, businesses should invest in a remarkable employment experience.

“Some of the most successful companies around have a philosophy that their employees are their number one customer,” he said.

“When I treat them like gold they treat my customers like gold and they keep coming back.”

Sexton drew on the teachings of several authors to show how a simple idea gets to the mass market, starting with the innovator who doesn’t care what others think to the early adopters, who see what the innovators are doing and are able to interpret it in a way that makes sense to other early adopters and the early majority, who are interested in what is popular. He said what is interesting about the early adopters is that they

don’t necessarily like things to be finished and polished, and like to leave their fingerprints on it.

“They like things to be 70 to 80 per cent done so they can help you get it to the rest of the marketplace,” he said.

“If you are introducing a new product, service or idea and you are that innovator, you need to find the early adopters because they are your followers. And while you may be the leader of the business, they are the leaders of your customers.”

Sexton encouraged Chamber members to take a recruitment-style approach when it comes to filling positions within their companies.

“Recruiting takes more time (than advertising positions and accepting resumes),” he said, “but there is more churn associated with it. When you get your employees involved in recruiting new employees, your employees are also stakeholders. When they help you recruit other employees that they want to work with they are not just tied to you as an employer for a pay cheque, they are also tied to their social circle

because now they are working with people they know and they are part of the reason that those folks are working there.”

Sexton said businesses owners need to empathize with customers who are making purchasing decisions.

“People have standards and they don’t like to be told that their standards are wrong. They have a belief set, they have a world view, and there are associations that are being made between world views and products and services and businesses and brands. You as marketers in your business have to tell a story that the customer will believe because customers are lying to themselves about the state of the world every single day.”

Sexton said business people need to create a culture of “sneezers” who will spread the message about their business to others.

“Starting a movement is all about getting your customers together so they can talk to each other. When you have done that appropriately you have created a culture where you have self support-

ing customers who help each other.”

Sexton said business owners need to be comfortable with bad ideas if we want to have more good ones.

“We need to create a safe place in our businesses for bad ideas and ask what we can do to celebrate bad ideas.

I have seen some companies actually have contests to see who can come up with the worst ideas. Just like good ideas are one degree from being terrible, some of the worst ideas that you might find are one degree from being awesome.”

Sexton said reviews and testimonials for a business are more important than ever because people are willing to take the recommendations of complete strangers rather than do their own due diligence in finding information.

“They are willing to take the recommendation of a complete stranger,” he said. “They are also considering the source when they are sending out your messages, asking whether it is advertising from a business or whether this person just had a great experience that he wants to talk about.”

OFFICIAL GRAND OPENING

camrose.ca

Homeroom The Learning Store held an official grand opening on March 22 with Pastor Ted Hill, Mayor Norm Mayer and owner Michael Sonnenberg cutting the ribbon. Rural Alberta Business Centre manager Louise Jones, city economic development officer Ray Telford and the Sonnenberg family of Georgia, Natalie, Noah, Jesse and Sharon were also on hand for the special occasion.

Jamie Roth

The Camrose Association For Community Living (CAFCL) offers many different programs to help people with disabilities, people with acquired brain injury and families at risk. CAFCL’s Adult Outreach Program for people with acquired brain injury supports individuals to live as independently as possible in the community.

Individuals may live in their own house, apartment, or with a family member. Support staff helps them with daily life skills like paying bills, budgeting, grocery shopping or meal planning.

Jamie Roth, now 42 years old, receives help from this program.

Jamie was in a dirt bike accident in 2002 at the age of 29. He was thrown off of his dirt bike and hit a tree. He was not wearing a helmet and alcohol and drugs were present. Jamie survived a traumatic brain injury as a result of this accident.

Thanks to a grant from the Battle River Community Foundation (from the Aspenes Family Fund) for brain injury prevention education, CAFCL hired Jamie to do presentations to local schools. With the help of a CAFCL staff member, Jamie put together a presentation that he gives to mostly Grades 4, 5 and 6. Recently Jamie has been doing his presentation for high school students as well. The presentation has been well received and is a great educational piece to teach kids/ teens about the importance of ‘brain’ safety- from riding bikes, skateboards, ATV’s and anything else that might require a helmet. At the end of each presentation the students fill out a comment card to give Jamie feedback.

“The presentation was super enjoyable. It was informative but also entertaining.

Jamie is funny and I thought it was great,” said a student at OLMP “I liked that someone who actually has a brain injury talked to us and not someone just telling us about it,” said another student at OLMP. Continued on page 8

Book your table for Registration Night Submitted

It’s time to book your table for the eighth annual Community Registration Night which will be held on Thursday, September 4, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The purpose of this event is to showcase clubs, organizations and businesses which offer an arts, recreation, learning or sports activity. Our aim is to also offer a venue for recruiting volunteers. Many of our displayers use this opportunity to sign up participants for their fall programs or courses. We want new and established Camrosians to be aware of all the exciting opportunities there are for people of all ages in our community.

Last year, over 1,100 people attended Community Registration Night to watch the demonstrations, sign up for a course or activity, and to browse through 61 displayers’ tables. It’s a fabulous opportunity for the displayers. Tables are inexpensive and the event is well attended. We also offer a small demonstration area (20 ft. x 10 ft.) which allows eight organizations or businesses to each demonstrate an activity for 10 minutes. It’s an effective way to promote yourself and find new participants for your club, programs or courses. Everyone who attends the event is given a take home handout with a brief description of each

displayer and their contact information. If you haven’t had a table at this event, you are really missing out!

Community Registration Night is made possible through the efforts and contributions of several local organizations.

Camrose Adult Learning Council takes the lead role in organization, registration, promotion and management of the event. The City of Camrose and the Camrose Regional Exhibition provide the Field House, tables and chairs for the event. Volunteers from CDSS, Fox TaekwonDo and FVAS assist with the planning and execution of Community Registration Night and the Air Cadets help out with the physical take down after the event is over.

Space is limited and tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Register before June 18 to take advantage of our Early Bird table rates.

Registration details and forms are on www.camroselearning.com or can be picked up at the Camrose Adult Learning Council office (second floor, 4707-56 Street) on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. If you have any questions about this event, please call Diane at 780-672-8754 or email her at calc@camroselearning.com.

On Sunday, Jan. 19, 12 members of the Camrose Kodiaks hockey team attended the worship service at the Camrose Church of God, one of many Kodiaks in the Community events this season. During the worship time alternate captains Luc Vandale and Matthew Waseylenko were presented with a servanthood towel by Pastor Brian Krushel, acknowledging and expressing gratitude for the Kodiaks’ season-long commitment to community service. A partial list of the ways the team serves Camrose and area citizens was featured in a multimedia presentation. The towel is a symbol of humble service, exemplified by Jesus when he wrapped himself in a towel and washed his disciples’ feet. Team members also served that morning as greeters, ushers, and assistants with “LiveWires,” the church time worship experience for three- to six-year-olds.

Jamie also teamed up with Michelle Gainsforth who works in CAFCL’s Teaching Independence and Parenting Support (TIPS) program and Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP) to give presentations. Michelle goes to junior high and high schools in the East Central area.

Michelle gives presentations on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Shaken Baby Syndrome and Prenatal Drug Exposure. She has created a presentation that encompasses all of the above entitled It’s All About Prevention.

Michelle starts their presentation explaining the effects of a drug exposed baby and leads into the outcomes of a shaken baby and how it damages the brain. This helps students understand how delicate the brain is and how it needs to be protected. Jamie then speaks on his acquired brain injury. Michelle concludes their presentation with information on organic brain injuries which are the result of chemical damage to the brain caused by drugs and alcohol.

“It was great, plus it makes you realize that almost anything can cause a

disability,” said a Forestburg Grade 10 student.

“Even once not wearing a helmet can effect your whole life,” said a Forestburg Grade 9 student.

The presentation appeals to both the males and females in the classroom with its broad spectrum.

If you would be interested in having Jamie and Michelle come to your school to do a presentation please contact Cherilyn Sharkey, public relations manager, at 780-672-0257 or by email at csharkey@cafcl.org.

Camrose Association for Community Living, founded over fifty years ago, endeavors to assist people to live and participate in the community.

They provide the community with essential programming such as Community Education, TIPS (Teaching and Independent Parent Support), Adult Outreach and Residential Programs, the MORE program and our Kandu Summer Camp. All of the programs and services work toward our vision of a community that embraces all people. With a staff of over 110, CAFCL serves people across East Central Alberta.

Wynn McLean

By Dan Jensen

Camrose and area is holding its own when it comes to attracting tourists.

Travel Alberta vice-president of community relations Wynn McLean told Camrose Chamber of Commerce members Feb. 5 that, in a study undertaken by the Alberta Tourism Parks and Recreation, the residents of Edmonton and Calgary ranked Camrose and area as the fifth most desirable rural vacation spot outside of Jasper and Banff.

“That is a pretty good indication of what Sharon Anderson and Sheila DeJesus in the Chamber office and Hazel Cail with Tourism Camrose are doing to promote tourism into Camrose,” said McLean. “They are doing a very good job.”

Big Industry

McLean noted that while tourism is the third biggest industry in Alberta (it accounts for $7.8 billion in gross revenue, 35 million visits, and taxes paid to the federal, provincial and municipal governments of $1.92 billion, $1.15 billion and $480 million respectively), Travel Alberta – a Crown Corporation that was established in 2008 and reports to Minister of Tourism Parks and Recreation Richard Starkey – still sees plenty or room for growth and expansion.

“Our (Travel Alberta) mission is to grow tourism revenues with compelling invitations to visit Alberta,” said McLean. “Our strategy is to grow tourism revenues to $10.3 billion by the year 2020.”

Travel Alberta’s business strategy is to defend and grow business by seizing emerging opportunities and focusing on high-potential markets, bring the brand to life by establishing market alignment and developing brand resources, mobilize industry and, finally, drive organizational excellence by operating efficiently and nurturing social responsibility.

“Before we became a Crown Corporation and started marketing our product the administrative costs were higher than what they are now and the marketing costs less,” said McLean, adding that essentially, there were nine different Travel Albertas in the province with 125 full-time employees.

“Since then we have been able to increase the marketing and decrease the administration. By the time we got to April 2012 we had rolled everything together and were operating with 89 full-time employees.”

McLean noted the United States is Travel Alberta’s biggest international market, followed by the UK. He said the Netherlands market is interesting because it is a gathering point for a lot of people in Europe who want to travel to Canada.

“Lots of folks fly out of Amsterdam.”

A market that has been growing steadily over the past few years, said McLean, is China.

“They have approved destination status now so they can actually travel for fun. Before they had to travel as education groups. We had lots of people come over as part of ag tours but they couldn’t do that as individuals or families. China will be the poster boy for growth in the international tourism markets for years to come.”

McLean told the Chamber that hotels in Alberta collect a one per cent levy from guests for room bookings (per night) to help marketing organizations like Tourism Camrose promote their region.

“Camrose is at one per cent but most other jurisdictions in Alberta are at three per cent,” said McLean.

“There is about $25 or $30 million in destination marketing funds at this time but not all of it is being spent, so although it looks good we are not getting the benefit from it. It is causing us a bit of heartburn.”

McLean said Travel Alberta has decided, after a lengthy review of its strategic priorities and investments, to no longer market in Mexico or India.

“Mexico we pulled out of because of visa access. If you recall, about a year and a half ago the Canadian government put in legislation that the Mexican folks travelling in Canada had to have a Visa and it literally killed the Mexican market overnight. In India the people have lots of opportunity to travel but they all go to Vancouver or Toronto. We tried to spend some money to get them to come to Alberta, but it wasn’t working.”

The money that was being spent in India is now being spent on marketing in San Francisco.

“San Francisco has a high number of people that have a propensity to travel to Alberta to experience what we have to offer,” said McLean. “There are a number of easy and cheap flights out of San Francisco. We will build more business out of San Francisco this year then we would have out of Mexico and India together, so we are very excited.”

McLean said one of the challenges facing Travel Alberta and the province as a whole is the limited number of direct flights into Alberta.

“We are working very hard with the Edmonton International and the folks in Calgary to get new flights and we are starting to get some, but it is a slow process and it is federally controlled. Alberta, through the Alberta Cabinet, the premier, minister Starkey, the transportation minister, Wayne Drysdale, are all on the air access file and they are pushing hard for the federal government to loosen that up.”

McLean said Travel Alberta’s Co-operative Marketing Program is designed to provide marketing assistance for new or enhanced activities led by Albertabased private sector tourism operators, non-profits, or public sector organizations working together to market tourism experiences.

“We now have $7 million in the Co-op Marketing Program,” said McLean.

“The large majority of that program is used to market the province of Alberta.”

Camrose holding its own Continued from page 11

McLean explained that Travel Alberta has an incredible library of videos and images that are free to use by anyone marketing a program, an informative website that allows people to access information and promote deals they have, and a team of 10 to 12 development staff who work with people in the tourism industry to discuss problems and flush out new ideas. In addition, he said Travel Alberta has eight or nine high end workshops that assist with marketing, branding and packaging.

“There is a real raft of good information there that is delivered free of charge.”

BRCF assists in care of animals

The Battle River Community Foundation has made a grant to the City of Camrose for the care and protection of animals in the City of Camrose.

Funding for this grant came from the Alice Ofrim Fund and the Fred and Jean Molnar Fund. Both funds were created by donors with a desire to provide assistance with the care and protection of animals on an annual basis. The Camrose City Pound houses animals, offers a pet adoption program and posts information about lost or found animals in Camrose.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $2,250,000 to support important local initiatives.

Canada stands behind Ukraine Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot

Many constituents are contacting me to condemn Russia’s illegal military occupation of Ukraine. As your Member of Parliament I am pleased to see so many of us feeling the same way – and saying so out loud.

We’re in good company.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper feels so strongly about the events in Ukraine that he travelled to Ukraine this past weekend. He met with Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov and Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and reaffirmed Canada’s strong support for the new Government of Ukraine as it undertakes the important steps of embracing the economic and democratic reforms needed to restore stability and prosperity in the country. Our Prime Minister also condemned Russia’s illegal military occupation of Ukraine and reiterated the call for immediate de-escalation by Russia.

Canada is also in good company. On Monday, Prime Minister Harper met with the leaders of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, the President of the European Council and the President of the European

Commission in The Hague to reaffirm support for Ukraine’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence.

Known as ‘The Hague Declaration’, these world leaders signed a document that states, “International law prohibits the acquisition of part or all of another state’s territory through coercion or force. To do so violates the principles upon which the international system is built. We condemn the illegal referendum held in Crimea in violation of Ukraine’s constitution. We also strongly condemn Russia’s illegal attempt to annex Crimea in contravention of international law and specific international obligations.

We do not recognize either.”

The Hague Declaration goes on to insist that Russia’s actions “will have significant consequences. This clear violation of international law is a serious challenge to the rule of law around the world and should be a concern for all nations.” The signatory nations have imposed a variety of sanctions against Russia. Canada is contributing to a political and security monitoring mission to Ukraine, led by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Canada’s

support to the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission, through Canada’s Global Peace and Security Fund, will assist the OSCE to report on the security situation in Ukraine, foster peace and stability, encourage respect for human rights, and enable an environment for inclusive political dialogue in Ukraine. In addition, Canada has provided support to help Ukraine stabilize its economy, promote economic and social development, and helped provide for urgent medical assistance for Ukrainians injured while standing up for democratic change. Canada, along with a number of other OSCE countries is also taking part in a military observer mission that will report on military activities in Ukraine.

Canada was the first Western nation to recognize Ukraine’s independence on December 2, 1991, and we have enjoyed close bilateral relations ever since. Yet, the major reason Prime Minister Harper takes Russia’s actions so seriously is because these bullying tactics are just plain wrong. I am proud to report that my constituents are freely telling me that they feel the same.

Joe and Heather Howe and their daughter, Jillian, were the winning bidders on a $3,000 5 Star Home Solutions Ltd. home renovation package at the About Time Productions fundraiser Dec. 7. The proceeds from the sale of the package, which was donated by 5 Star Home Solutions, will be used to support About Time Productions programs, including pre-ballet – the one in which Jillian participates.

Helping the Howes present the cheque to About Time Production board chair Sandra Howard was 5 Star Home Solutions staff member Kyle Warkentin.

Harper government announces support for Bawlf seniors

By Dan Jensen

Minister of State (Finance) and Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson announced that the Bawlf Senior Citizens Society will receive $3,000 from the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors program for the refurbishment of a hardwood floor.

“Many seniors in Bawlf and the surrounding communities use the facility for activities ranging from floor curling and shuffleboard, cards and games tournaments to many other types of gatherings,” said Sorenson.

The New Horizons for Seniors Program is a national program that supports projects led or inspired by seniors who make a difference in the lives of others and their communities.

Sorenson commended the work of the seniors and other local officials who always make an effort to apply and follow through on projects.

“They are the ones who make sure we can improve and enhance local services and facilities,” said Sorenson. “I appreciate being able to work with all the communities in our riding to qualify under these national programs. By supporting New Horizons for Seniors Program projects, our government is working to ensure that seniors maintain a good quality of life and continue to be active members of our communities.”

Keep your volunteers happy Volunteers can be the life’s blood of nonprofit organizations. Without individuals willing to donate their time, charities facing tight budgets may not have sufficient personnel to achieve their goals. Organizations who rely heavily on volunteers can take the following steps to ensure their volunteers know their efforts are appreciated.

Create a welcoming environment. No matter how many times a person volunteers, he or she will feel like the new kid in town on his or her first day with a new organization. Make new volunteers feel welcome, giving them a guided tour during which you introduce them to fellow volunteers and full- or part-time staff members. An environment that is warm and welcoming from the moment a volunteer arrives will make the experience better for all involved.

Maintain an open door policy. Volunteers should feel comfortable conversing with executive directors and other higher-ups at the organization. Encourage the sharing of ideas, even with executives high up on the totem pole.

Directors can meet with staff members to illustrate how everyone is working together and no one carries greater importance than another in the organization.

Be prepared for volunteers. Volunteers are giving their time and expecting nothing in return. Walking into an office that is not prepared for a volunteer may lead the volunteer to view the organization as unorganized or one that lacks dedication. Charities should have a clear plan in place with regard to the duties of volunteers. There should be a desk area or computer available when necessary.

In addition, be sure to have work immediately available so the volunteer won’t be sitting around with little to do.

Clearly spell out time constraints. Volunteers often find time to volunteer while juggling their day jobs and responsibilities at home, and not everyone has the same amount of time available to devote to a charity. Therefore, being up front with how much time a project is expected to take can help a volunteer gauge if he or she will be able to assist. Decide how much time the job will need, and be honest with potential volunteers during interviews or when advertising openings.

Give frequent praise. Let volunteers know their work is appreciated. Come up with ways to show your appreciation, be it taking volunteers out to lunch, providing snacks or other treats around the office or accommodating their personal schedules.

VIRTUAL TREK

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Volunteers joined the fitness fun of participating in the Camrose Primary Care’s virtual trek across Newfoundland. The participants are keeping track of their activities both at work and during workouts.

Camrose resident and University of Alberta music professor Milton Schlosser travelled to China as an invited guest of the Sichuan Conservatory in Chengdu.

Over the course of five days, Milton performed a fulllength recital, provided two piano master classes, lectured on his recent research, and led an information session on the University of Alberta to high school students.

The Sichuan Conservatory is one of China’s major cultural training centers. With over 14,000 students and a teaching faculty of 400, it is an interdisciplinary institution with degree studies in both Chinese traditional and Western European classical music.

The conservatory also offers studies in other art forms such as television and film. It is located in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province. The city has an urban population of over 14 million inhabitants.

Jei Yin, a graduate of the Chengdu Conservatory, has helped organize this trip and will accompany Schlosser.

Prior to becoming vice-principal of Meadowlark Mandarin Bilingual School in Edmonton, Jei taught in the Camrose area.

FARMERS’ MARKET

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Camrose and District Farmers’ Market manager Carol Davies-Pedersen, left, and board director Julie Ruttan, right, presented Camrose Women’s Shelter board members Tracy Brandingen and Heather Ryan $500 on behalf of the vendors at the Saturday market at Duggan Mall.

Watch for credit card fraud locally Credit card counterfeiting fraud occurs when your credit card number is used for unauthorized purchases. A criminal can obtain your number from a variety of methods. Have you ever given your credit card to a waiter or waitress? The answer from any credit card holder will likely be “yes”.

Does that create the opportunity for someone connected to a fraud ring to record your information? The only answer is “yes”.

“I am not suggesting that this happens on a daily basis at the restaurants that we frequent,” says Sgt. Keech of the Camrose Police Service, “but rather I am attempting to create a preventive thought process. If one is aware of how easy your credit card can be compromised then he or she should take precautions as to when and where it is used.”

Many criminals obtain information from documents. The same is true with credit card statements and carbon copies. Are they being shredded? We don’t often see the old style credit card slide machine, but when someone does use one do you ask what happens to the carbon paper? When you use your credit card over the internet are you 100 per cent certain of where the information is going? Before typing your number in, ensure your computer is on the site it should be. The same goes for providing your number over the telephone. Take all precautions that the person receiving the information is the intended recipient.

In Camrose a few years ago police executed a search warrant as part of an investigation where a person ordered merchandise and provided a fraudulent credit card number. The subsequent seizure of the suspect’s laptop computer revealed connections in several states and a database of many, many credit card numbers. It was apparent this individual was part of a network that collected credit card numbers from various sources.

“One lady in the United States had no idea her card was compromised and had only used it at department stores in her area,” recalls Sgt. Keech.

Debit card fraud is becoming more and more prevalent.

The most recent case involved the switching of a card swipe/pin pad device in a community north of here.

Unsuspecting customers of a popular restaurant would use their debit card in the usual fashion. Their subsequent bank statements began to reveal purchases they had not made. The investigation revealed that

criminals had exchanged the real pin pad with a fake one that gathered all the card numbers and pins of the customers. Those fraudulent devices do exist as do devices manufactured to be added to ATM machines. A small card reader can be attached to the ATM’s card slot and a camera added above to capture the pins.

Criminals will visit ATMs at night and install the devices and then return a few days later to retrieve them. The “add-ons” are manufactured to look like legitimate pieces of hardware on the ATM. In other cases card skimmers are used at retail outlets in conjunction with their surveillance cameras to capture the information.

Again, the message is not to instill fear of using debit cards, but to be aware of signs that the system is fraudulent. The best advice to consumers is to check bank statements and credit card statements frequently and thoroughly.

Of course there remains a problem with counterfeit currency. In 2008, 8,906 Canadian counterfeit bank notes were seized in Alberta. The use of advanced copiers, scanners and printers allows for the duplication of some fairly high quality bank notes. This has made counterfeiting much more widespread than 25 years ago where counterfeiting was solely the work of organized crime.

Back then commercial printing presses had to be used to produce the large number of bills. Police agencies in conjunction with the Bank of Canada have worked together to thwart this criminal activity. The latest series of Canadian bank notes has several security features built into them.

Accepting a counterfeit bill victimizes the person or business as there is no compensation for the loss.

The general guidelines are to “look, tilt and touch.”

These simple tests will help you to ensure the bill is genuine. Looking through the bill at light should reveal a ghost image (watermark).

The number above the image should match the denomination of the bill. As you tilt the bill the maple leafs in the metallic strip should change colour and appear to light up and the dashes on the back of the bill should change from gold to green. Touching the bill allows you to feel the raised ink.

“Educating the public is our first step toward the reduction of crime,” says Sgt. Keech. “If our citizens are aware of the various types of fraud and how it is perpetrated, then we can work together to prevent it.”

Report says there is no worker shortage There is no significant shortage of workers or skills in Canada, according to a new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO).

In a report released on Tuesday, March 25, the independent officer of parliament showed that employment rates and job vacancy rates were still lower than they had been before the recession of 2008-09.

“There is little evidence to suggest a national labour shortage exists in Canada,” the report concludes.

“Lies and exaggerations about the existence of a labour shortage have been used to justify the massive expansion of the Temporary Foreign Worker program (TFWP),” Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan said. “Public policy should be based on facts. If you ignore the facts, you get bad policy that hurts the public interest. That’s what we have with the Harper Government’s Temporary Foreign Worker program.”

The PBO’s report is just the latest report to debunk the notion of a shortage of workers or skills in Canada. Over the past year, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, the Institute for Research on Public Policy, the University of Calgary School of Public Policy, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the University of Alberta Economics Department and Fraser Institute Fellow Herb Emery have all released reports that debunk the labour shortage myth.

“Every year, Canadian employers bring in hundreds of thousands of Temporary Foreign Workers to fill a nonexistent labour shortage,” McGowan said. “And when these marginalized workers get here, they’re paid less than they should be, their rights are ignored, they have little hope of attaining citizenship – and Canadians are put out of work.”

The current Public Budget Officer, Jean-Denis Fréchette, was appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in September 2013 to replace Kevin Paige. The mandate of the PBO is to provide independent analysis to Parliament on the state of the nation’s finances, the government’s estimates and trends in the Canadian economy.

“This is the PM’s own guy offering a report that repudiates the justification for this government’s policies,” McGowan said. “Academics, right-wing analysts, progressive economists, government bureaucrats, statisticians – the entire fact-based community agrees that the justification for the Temporary Foreign Worker program is bunk. Even the PM himself has expressed concerns about the program. So why does it still exist?”

Small businesses are important to Alberta’s strong economy and are supported by a number of programs and services as well as a lowtax environment.

Budget 2014 introduces no new taxes or tax increases and Albertans continue to enjoy the lowest overall taxes in Canada. This includes the lowest corporate tax rate at 10 per cent and a competitive small business tax rate at three per cent.

Alberta has no payroll tax, sales tax or health premiums, in addition to the personal tax advantages small business owners and their employees enjoy.

Budget 2014 will also see education property tax mill rates reduced by 4.5 per cent and personal income tax credits rise by 1.1 per cent.

Operating a business in Alberta keeps owners’ taxes low (both corporate and personal), making it easier to attract and retain employees. If Alberta employed the tax system of any other province, Albertans and Alberta businesses would pay at least $11.6 billion more in taxes each year.

“Budget 2014 is a fully balanced budget that protects the programs and services important to all Albertans, including small business owners,” said Doug Horner, president of the treasury board and minister of finance. “This government remains committed to fiscal responsibility with no new taxes or tax increases, ensuring we maintain our province’s competitive tax advantage.”

Alberta continues to be a leader in the number of new small businesses created in Canada each year.

Small businesses are a vital part of Alberta’s economy, making up 95 per cent of all businesses in the province and contributing 27 per cent to Alberta’s gross domestic product.

“Alberta is the best jurisdiction in the country to do business and we lead the country in small business creation,” said Dave Hancock deputy premier and minister of innovation and advanced education. “To build on this success, our government is currently developing a small business strategy to help us better respond to the needs of Alberta’s small businesses and support their growth.”

“With an economic footprint of more than $77 billion annually, rural Alberta is a tremendous contributor to our province’s success,” said Verlyn Olson, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Through the Rural Economic Development Action Plan, we will help ensure our programs and services continue to support a strong economy and create a positive environment for our businesses

and entrepreneurs, who are essential to the continued growth of Alberta’s vibrant rural communities.”

“Alberta is a great place to do business,” said Brad Severin, CA, CFP, TEP, chair, Alberta Chambers of Commerce. “Businesses thrive and grow in Alberta by participating in our strong economy. Business can rely on competitive personal and corporate income tax rates, a skilled workforce and support from government departments who understand what is important to business.”

Under the Building Alberta Plan, our government is investing in families and communities, living within our means, and opening new markets for Alberta’s resources to ensure we’re able to fund the services Albertans told us matter most to them. We will continue to deliver the responsible change Albertans voted for.

Support for municipalities grows in Budget 2014

Growing investment in municipal infrastructure, more funding for transit services, and expanded support for regional partnerships are key features of the province’s support for communities in Budget 2014.

“As a government, we fully recognize the central role that Alberta’s communities play in fueling our economy and making our province a great place for people to live,” said Ken Hughes, Minister of Municipal Affairs. “This budget meets our commitments to invest in communities and takes those commitments even further, with more support for municipal infrastructure and transit.”

Key highlights in Budget 2014 for communities

$5.1 billion invested in municipal infrastructure over the next three years; $162 million more for transit over the next three years; $150 million more for the Municipal Sustainability Initiative over the next three years; $20 million more invested into community partnerships; More than $2 billion in direct funding for municipalities across all ministries.

Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI)

The province will invest $3.7 billion in municipal infrastructure through MSI over the next three years.

In 2014-15, there will be $1.24 billion available under the MSI umbrella. This includes the Basic Municipal Transportation Grant (BMTG), which has moved from Transportation to Municipal Affairs.

In 2014-15, the breakdown of funding under the MSI program will be: MSI Capital – $871 million; MSI Operating – $30 million; Continued on page 29

BRCF presents grant to Centennial Museum

By Dan Jensen

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $1,000 to Camrose and District Centennial Museum to assist with the restoration and conservation of its pioneer log house.

The grant was made possible by the Adam (Sr.) and Elizabeth Klug Family Fund, the Lloyd B. and Catherine R. McCoombe Fund, the Gerald and Ella Zimmerman Fund, and other generous donors.

The pioneer log house was built by Thore Grue who, along with his wife and five children, moved to Alberta from Minnesota, after having left their home in Roros, Norway. They came to the area from where the town of Wetaskiwin had just come to be two years before. They stopped there and were taken to possible homestead sites. From the top of a hill, they decided to settle in the valley, for they believed that a railway would likely be built there (NW 1/4 12-48-21 West of the 4th). Thore’s father, who had accompanied them, homesteaded on the east side of the same section.

Later, the railway was built and the hamlet of Armena was formed, a half mile south of their homestead.

They were the first settlers to arrive in the area.

In the early days the log house was a common stopping place for travelers as the roads from Bardo and Round Hill branched off to Edmonton and Wetaskiwin, the closest town for supplies at that time, right

by the house. This meant that many travellers spent the night in the cozy house.

Thore sold the house and homestead to Knut Lyseng in 1903 because he wanted to purchase more land in a block.

Knut Lyseng was born in Norway and moved his wife and family, six sons and two daughters to Alberta. He already owned land and was trying to buy up more to set up his sons for farming. The house stood vacant until 1910, when Knut’s son Carl purchased the homestead and moved

into the house. Carl and Ragna Lyseng made this their home until 1969. At that time, the house had one room upstairs and one room downstairs.

They used curtains to divide the upstairs room into bedrooms. Over the years the Lysengs made renovations and additions to the small home. This included adding a kitchen and dining room (1915), bathroom, entrance and sun porch (1935), and finally put power in 1950.

The pioneer log house has made two moves over the years. The first was

done by Knut in 1903. He moved it east because it was built too close to the road allowance. This was quite a feat at the time and was moved by using only two bob-sleds that were pulled by two teams of six horses, one team hooked to each sled. The difficulty of such a move was only fully understood when the house was being moved to the Camrose Museum. The first attempt at moving it caused the standard iron beams to twist and special equipment then had to be used.

The building was found to

be remarkably square when it was being measured for its new foundation.

The final move occurred in 1979. Once moved to the museum grounds, it was restored and furnished.

The house was loaded and ready for the move two months before it was moved but heavy rains prevented anything from being done. The money to fund the move was raised from raffling off a handmade grandfather clock made by Ambrose Ladell. It was officially opened on September 1, 1980. The furnishings for the house were donated by the community.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects in East Central Alberta which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Foundation are made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Some grant funding is also made available by generous donors who make annual gifts to the Battle River Community Foundation.

Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted more than $2,250,000 to support important local initiatives and organizations.

Medical physics right move for young researcher from Camrose

By Bev Betkowski

Since the age of 10, Dylan Breitkreutz has heard his granddad urge him to study medicine. As it turns out, he listened – and it was wise advice indeed.

The University of Alberta graduate student, now 26, is the 2013 winner of the NSERC $10,000 André Hamer Postgraduate Prize, for his master’s thesis work on finding better tools to gauge effectiveness of cancer treatments.

The prize is given to promising young scientists in Canada based on academic excellence, research potential and interpersonal skills.

Based in the Division of Medical Physics of the oncology department in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, Breitkreutz is proud to uphold a family tradition of attending the U of A’s Augustana Campus in Camrose, along with his sister. His parents were there years ago as Camrose Lutheran College students.

In fact, Breitkreutz credits his growth as a young researcher to the years he

Dylan Breitkreutz

spent at Augustana earning an undergraduate degree in math, physics and philosophy.

“If it weren’t for my time at Augustana, I don’t think I would be here now. They offered a smaller physics and math program, and I got to know my teachers

pretty well. I was spurred on to find research projects.”

Intrigued by the ideas of motion and rates of change, Breitkreutz sees physics in action all around him.

“It applies to things we see every day; it’s a framework of ideas we can use to interpret the world around us.”

As an undergrad at Augustana, he spent summers in the lab, writing a paper on computational mathematics that was published in 2011 and a second paper on the entropy of cell signalling pathways that was published in the high-profile journal PNAS in 2012. He was the lead author on both.

Today, Breitkreutz is in the second year of his master’s work at the U of A, focused on employing an imaging protocol in magnetic resonance spectroscopy as a way to sharpen early evaluation of cancer treatments, breast cancer in particular.

Breitkreutz’s research homes in on the spine, a common area for breast cancer to spread. Chronic back pain, weakness and even paralysis can result.

Fat levels in spinal bone marrow appear to decrease when a tumour takes hold, and increase when a patient is responding well to treatment.

His work concentrates on ways to improve mea-

surement of these fat levels, in the hopes of showing how well (or not) radiation therapy is working for a cancer patient.

“We can’t always be sure of how well a therapy is working, so if we can find a way to get a better handle on that, it has the potential to help make treatment more effective for a patient.”

Once he earns his master’s degree in medical physics, Breitkreutz, deeply committed to his field, plans to move on to a PhD. “I want to do something with my life that makes a human contribution. Medical physics can be a nice mix of clinical, academic and research work, and has a worthwhile, tangible outcome. It has the potential to directly affect people’s lives.”

Breitkreutz, who is proud to be recognized by NSERC for his work, joins other young U of A researchers who have won the prize in past years, including Rhodes Scholar Megan Engel in 2012, Kenneth Chau in 2005 and Selena Smith in 2004.

Sunday, April 23 – the day the Canadian Northern Railway arrived in Camrose – was not too much different than other days in 1910.

“I don’t really think there was that much of a celebration,” said Canadian Northern Society volunteer Bruce Smith.

“Camrose at the time was already being serviced by the CP.R. (Canadian Pacific Railway) which had arrived five years earlier, in 1905, and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway which had arrived in November of 1909.”

The expansion of trackage from Vegreville to Camrose and south to Drumheller was, according to Leslie S. Kozma, in Background Research for Interpretive Signage: Alberta Midland Railway Heritage Trail, June 30, 1996, a major component of the Canadian Northern Railway’s Alberta strategy. Its primary purpose, said the author, was to carry steam and domestic heating coal from the mines at Brazeau and Drumheller to Prairie markets.

“The fact that the line traversed a region of great agricultural potential for both grain and cattle farming was an added benefit,” said Kozma.

The line was built with the blessing of then Premier Alexander Rutherford, who wanted to increase the amount of rail traffic in the province.

“The province provided money to the private lines as incentive to build more,” explained Smith.

In 1910, Rutherford was forced to resign over allegations about the government’s agreement to guarantee bonds of the Alberta and Great Waterways Railway.

The line from Vegreville to Camrose and Drumheller branched off Canadian Northern Society’s main trans Canada line from eastern Canada to Prince Rupert on the west coast. The Canadian Northern Railway had done preliminary surveys for rails linking Vegreville, Camrose, Drumheller as early as 1904, said Kozma, but delayed work until completion of the main line connecting the cities of Edmonton and Saskatoon.

Kozma noted Camrose became the focus of intense railway activity from the time the Canadian Northern Railway arrived in 1910 until 1914.

“The steel gang pushed south, the large quantities of construction materials and supplies coming through Camrose bound for

the construction camps and the railhead, which reached the Red Deer River by the end of the 1910 season.”

For the most part, said Kozma, the Battle River line presented few obstacles.

“The greatest challenge for the locating engineers were the valleys of the Battle River and Meeting Creek, and access into the coal fields around Drumheller.”

The line served passengers wishing to get from Drumheller to Edmonton via Meeting Creek, Edberg, Round Hill and Ryley until a more direct Camrose to Strathcona was created a few years later.

“It was a good way to travel just as long as you weren’t in too much of a hurry,” said Smith. “The passenger cars were often connected to the other cars, which created extra weight and a little extra maneuvering. In order to make the hills in the Meeting Creek valley the trains had to first unhook the freight cars and make a separate run with the passenger compartment, then go back and bring the freight cars separately.”

Kozma noted that the quality construction employed on the Battle River Branch typified the Canadian Northern approach: build to a modest standard at low initial cost, then make improvements as traffic warranted.

“This philosophy – a tried and true method for the CNoR, used successfully throughout its Western branch lines, has often been maligned or misrepresented as inferior. Granted, CNoR standards were not up to those of the CPR. The most apparent difference was the CNoR’s use of 60 pound rail, compared to the 80 pound rail used

by CPR, and the Canadian Northern’s reliance on timber trestles instead of culverts in conjunction with earth embankments.”

The Canadian Northern Society built its third class (extended) station in Camrose in May, 1910, at a cost of $5,020. The station was expanded over the years following the merger of the Canadian Northern Society and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway into the Canadian National Railway in 1923, but still has the same basic shape as it had then. The Station currently holds a museum and tea room and is owned and operated by the Canadian Northern Society.

“The upstairs of the station is the same as it was back in 1911,” said Smith.

Reconnect with our francophone history in the Camrose area Submitted by

Cercle local de Battle-River

Camrose is known to have been settled by Scandinavians starting in around 1900 and to these days’ evidences of their strong heritage is still found and felt throughout the city. What is not general knowledge however is the contribution of francophones to the region. Some of you might be aware that the “Father of Camrose”, François Adam, was a French-speaking man from Belgium. Some others might have heard of the little French missionary, Father Beillevaire, who came to Alberta in 1880 and spent over five decades in Duhamel and Camrose.

But there is much, much more.

François Dumont, cousin of the famous leader Metis Gabriel Dumont, who fought beside Louis Riel, came to Battle River after the great small-pox epidemic of 1870. In 1875, he founded what became Laboucane Settlement and, later, Duhamel. Dumont brought the first plow in the region and the plow bottom is now at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum.

The Dumont and Salois families were followed by the Laboucanes (Lafournaise), also French-Metis, and Léon Paré in the 1880s.

Guillaume Laboucane owned the first threshing machine in the region. Léon Paré’s home was used in 1887 to conduct school and Mr. Paré was the teacher. It was the first institution of its kind in central Alberta.

In 1910, George P. Smith, owner and editor of The Camrose Canadian, visited Duhamel where the wooden trestle was almost constructed and he described it as a little French colony.

Breland, Durand, Gariepy, Poisson Blanc, Descheneau, Poitras, Lapointe, Gosselin, Lejour, Moyon, Blondin, Gouin, Sauteaux, Fosseneuve, Larocque, Landry, Dumais, Poitras, Nadeau, Chartier (Sharkey) are among many other French families who lived in Duhamel, New Norway, Camrose, Edberg and area.

We can still find some living descendants from these families around Camrose and Edmonton.

In 1892, a territorial decree made English the official language of instruction. It lasted for 84 years, impacting many generations and leading to assimilation for many.

Recognizing a need for

Francophones and Francophiles to meet and be part of a bigger community, the Cercle local de Camrose-Battle River was incorporated in August 2013 under the Association Canadienne-Française de l’Alberta (ACFA). ACFA is the main provincial organization representing francophones since 1926.

According to the ACFA, the number of francophones in the Camrose-Drumheller area has increased by 13 per cent between 2001 and 2011. It is the most significant increase throughout the province. Camrose counts 170 people whose first language is French, on top of all Anglophones who learned French as a second language.

If you have knowledge regarding francophones in our region, if you are a descendant of any of the Metis and/or French families, if you are interested in French education or in attending events in French, contact Cercle local de Battle-River 780-781-2744 or camrose@acfa.ab.ca.
