Parks and Recreation Month It’s the perfect time to get outdoors and engage in the natural world as it blooms and grows around us. It is a particularly good time to connect children and youth with nature. Parks and Recreation Month is for all ages! It provides us with an opportunity to celebrate the success of recreation and parks as it contributes to the quality of life in our community and province. Camrose’s urban park system has over 30 kilometres of interconnected, paved, multi-use trails and many other shale paths. Use them and enjoy them! It’s free, fun and healthy!

Free shredding at AMA

FINAL

By Dan Jensen

How do you protect yourself from falling victim to identity theft? One way is to make sure that your social insurance number (SIN), birth certificate and other important documents are securely locked away. Another is to make sure any bills and papers containing information about yourself are properly disposed of when they are no longer needed. AMA will be helping with the latter when it holds a shredding event at its Camrose location, 6702-48 Avenue, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, June 14. “They’ll have their shredding truck on site and will be doing the shredding right in front of your eyes,” said Camrose Police Service crime prevention officer Const. Matthew Wilton. “There will also be police there to help ensure that people feel comfortable handing over their documents.” The shredding will be free of charge as long as the number of boxes are six or fewer. AMA’s only request is that those who use the service bring a donation for the Camrose Food Bank. Identity theft occurs when a person’s personal information is collected and used by persons without authorization to do so. The result of this illegal activity includes, but is not limited to, applications in your name being made for credit with financial institutions, retail outlets, or mortgage companies. “Identity theft has occurred here in Camrose and even in the surrounding community,” said Const. Wilton. “We have had people who have had personal documents stolen from their mailboxes, their trash or from unlocked vehicles. We have even seen thieves target people on multiple occasions in order to glean all the information they need to steal an identity.” Camrose Police Service receives several calls throughout the year from people who have been contacted by credit card or cell phone companies with which they have never before had any contact, requesting payment for an overdue bill. “At some point, whether it be weeks or months or years prior they have had their identity stolen and someone has used that information to get a loan or a cell phone,” said Const. Wilton. “Commonly, the bills that we see are quite high because the criminals know they will never have to pay it and don’t care how many charges they are racking up.” The best thing you can do if you suspect your identity has been stolen is to report your concerns to the police, your financial institution and the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre, the central agency in Canada that collects information on scams, including telemarketing, advanced fee letters and identity theft complaints. “By reporting an incident you are creating a record that it happened so that potentially, years later, when you get a call from the collection agency, you can show that agency that you are telling the truth and that you have already taken steps to address the situation,” said Const. Wilton. While victims of identity theft are not held liable for any charges that are made in their name, the process of restoring their identity and credit rating can be a long and often painful process. “The definite challenge is just correcting everything, proving they are who they say they are, and building their credit back up to where it was,” said Const. Wilton. Camrose AMA shredding events typically last as long as 30 minutes, depending on the lineups. Those who bring nonpaper items will be asked to step aside to screen their items again and remove anything that cannot be shredded.

Camrose Comp celebrates 50th anniversary

Alberta Education Minister Jeff Johnson, left, and Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson, right, both of whom are former students at CCHS, present a plaque to CCHS vice-principals Natasha Wilm and Reid Lansing in recognition of the school’s 50th anniversary. By Dan Jensen

Past and present students, teachers and staff of CCHS celebrated their school’s 50th anniversary in a June 5 program that included speeches, presentations and a variety of musical performances. Special recognition was given to the high school’s class of 1964. “Our school has a rich history of students who have gone on to leave their mark on the community of Camrose and beyond, and that history begins with the class of 1964,” said CCHS vice-principal Reid Lansing. “Among this class are entrepreneurs and business people, scholars, educators, professionals, community leaders and family leaders. Each year since, CCHS has graduated another class that carries on that legacy.” Wetaskiwin Camrose MLA and Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson said he has fond memories of his time at CCHS from the years 1969 to 1971. “I had wonderful teachers who made a huge impression on me and on my life and I know that the teachers today are doing the same thing.” Olson encouraged current students to look around them at their current classmates and remember them the way they are now. “Maybe a few years from now you will be in a completely different environment that you would never have expected,” he said. Minister of Education Jeff Johnson, who graduated from CCHS in 1984 and was in Camrose on the weekend to celebrate his class’s 30th reunion, recalled how he backed out of a speech during his graduation ceremony because he was too shy about getting up in front of the public. “I remember working with my guidance counsellor, who, after putting me through all the assessments, told me I had a good apti-

tude for sales. I said I would never go into sales because it would mean having to do public speaking.” Johnson told the current CCHS students they shouldn’t worry about “what they want to be” after they graduate. “When you graduate there will be so many doors that open for you,” he said. “You are getting such an excellent education that you will be prepared to step into careers that haven’t been invented yet.” Johnson said the teachers and staff of CCHS deserve a lot of credit for the impact they have on the lives of students. “It doesn’t matter if you are a teacher of a football coach or a bus driver or secretary, you touch these kids every day. We are grateful for that even though you don’t get thanked enough.” Johnson noted that Alberta has one of the top performing education systems in the world and that students who obtain their high school diploma in this province are able to get into any university in the world. “The most recent rankings place Alberta’s education system fourth in the world in reading, fourth in science, fifth in reading and 11th in math,” he said. “That is a credit to the teachers, the superintendents, the school trustees and the people who work in my department and it is a credit to the people who work here.” Johnson said the legacy of CCHS is not just in the building but the desire of people to contribute and make sure there is a future for our youth.” “I hope you (students) wlll take the example you see from your teachers and the people who are here in the room today because they are here to contribute to make our communities better and make our lives better.” Battle River School Division board of trustees chair Kendall Severson, another

graduate, said he feels a very strong connection to CCHS and the people who make it the institution it is. “Camrose Composite has a long history of excellence. There are many students who have achieved outstanding academic success, teams that have accomplished great sporting success, groups which have been recognized with outstanding fine arts performance, and students who have proven themselves to be competitive nationally in CCHS programs.” Severson said BRSD is fortunate to have such a remarkable facility available to the students of Battle River.

“This is truly a multiuse facility. We can honestly say that some of BRSD’s very youngest students attend this facility and we can also say that some of our oldest students attend here.” Severson said that more than being a way to remember the past, the 50th anniversary is a celebration of all CCHS has to offer and all the potential that lies ahead. Camrose mayor Norm Mayer said he came to Camrose at the same time the new high school was being built. “Both the school and I are fifty years in and I think we have both fared fairly well in survival. The community can be proud of the dedica-

tion to the education system that has been shown through the years by the teachers, the school boards, the staff and the students.” County reeve Don Gregorwich said that 50 years of education at CCHS have contributed a wonderful legacy to not only our immediate community but literally everywhere that CCHS graduates have gone throughout the entire world. He added that while several graduates have been recognized publicly for their achievements, it is important to know that there are many others who have left Camrose Composite to carve out careers and become successful members of their community. “They are the ones who, without fanfare, used their skills and knowledge that they gained here at Camrose Composite. They have become the backbone of our society. These are the men and women who go to work every day and have been and are quality citizens of our community and the province and our country. This is thanks to Camrose Composite High School for the opportunities that it offers now and the opportunities it has offered throughout its life.”

Meals on Wheels celebrates 41 years By Dan Jensen

Meals on Wheels program celebrated 41 years of service to the community during a reception at the Camrose Community Centre May 28. Meals on Wheels is a registered society operated by Camrose and District Home Support Services which offers noon meals (soup or salad, a main course and dessert) that are delivered to the homes of clients by volunteers up to seven days a week. Clients are billed for the cost of the meals once a month. Meals on Wheels also offers a frozen food program with a choice of entrees that are diabetic friendly and based on Canada’s food guide. Meals on Wheels originated in 1972 when the United Church Women (UCW) in Camrose invited interested people from various churches to start talks about the need to deliver meals to seniors and shut ins who were unable to cook for themselves. The first meals were delivered in January, 1973. Churches that supplied delivery drivers that first year were St. Andrew’s Anglican, Camrose Alliance, Camrose Evangelical Covenant, Camrose Living Faith Fellowship and the Camrose Church of God. Versa Foods prepared the meals in the kitchen of St. Mary’s Hospital for a dollar, Monday to Friday. A gift of $300 from the Camrose and District Family Thrift Shop allowed for the purchase of styrofoam carrying cases for the meal containers. Students from the Camrose Composite High School, under the direction of Bob Barnes, designed and constructed the initial carrying cases. “It started from scratch with the search for a meal provider and getting industrial arts teacher Bob Barnes

Bev Maertens-Poole provides a history of the Meals on Wheels program in Camrose during a May 28 reception.

Home support client Lynda Broz spoke about what the Meals on Wheels program has meant to her.

to design and make foam carriers, to the enlistment of Camrose and District Support Services to provide a program director responsible for screening clients, the recruitment of local businesses and the ever faithful Thrift Shop, and then relying on local churches to supply drivers to deliver the meals,” said Meals on Wheels volunteer Bev Maertens-Poole. The program quickly caught on and by 1983, 12 churches were contributing volunteer assistance. The Camrose Booster reported that in its first 10 years, the Meals on Wheels had delivered 391,000 hot, nutritious meals. Bethany Nursing Home began providing meals in the late 1980s at the time of construction of the new St. Mary’s Hospital. “It was a major renovation at St. Mary’s that opened the opportunity for Bethany to provide the meals,” said Maertens-Poole. “The old Bethany kitchen was not easily accessible. It took time to maneuver the cart down long hallways, up an elevator past the morgue to the outdoor access. Now we are at Bethany Rosehaven, which is central and very acces-

sible, and all the meals smell really good.” In the early days most of the volunteers made the deliveries alone. “Back then we collected payments from the clients on a Friday. The treasurer met us at the hospital to receive our payments, mostly cash, and deliver it to the office,” said Maertens-Poole. “I recall reminding a client it was payday and she went into her bedroom and returned with a Christmas card box full of cash to pay her bill. I was glad when it became policy for clients to be billed and not have to deal with the cash and the change.” The program began offering frozen meals in April, 2005. “Clients and family members come to our office to pay for the meals,” said Camrose and District Home Support Services director Maria Lobreau. “They are directed to the kitchen at Rosehaven where they select the meals and pick them up. Special cases may be delivered by the director.” Meals on Wheels receives funding from Camrose and District Support Services, local service clubs,

special events, businesses and personal donations. “Throughout the years businesses like Re/Max and the Royal Bank have either donated or given us drivers during the course of the years,” said Lobreau. One of the most dedicated organizations that assists with the delivery of meals is the Centra Cam Vocational Training Association. “It (delivering) meals is part of their work project,” said Lobreau. “They have their clients and their workers go out to the homes to deliver meals. It gives them some exposure to the community.” Meals on Wheels has a tradition of delivering boxes of baking and other goodies to clients just before Christmas. “We get together as a board and some of the driver coordinators and we make the holidays happier for our Meals on Wheels customers,” said Lobreau. “This year was a little bit unique because we also had the Sparks and Out of School Care program make our customers some decorations for their trees. It gave the kids a project to give to the community and it benefitted our customers.” Meals on Wheels reached its peak in 2008 when it delivered almost 8,000 meals. The prediction for the number of meals that will be delivered in 2014 is 6,000. The service that Meals on Wheels provides is further reaching than just food. In fact, the volunteers’ daily visits are equally as important as the food. “Our drivers are not only there to deliver a product but we are also there as a safety measure,” said Lobreau. Maertens-Poole said the short visit provided by those who deliver the meals is often the only personal contact recipients receive during the day.

“In a few cases the deliverer has encountered an emergency. Making a delivery one summer there was no answer at my announcement because I usually say ‘Meals on Wheels.’ The door was open so I just walked in and left the meal on the table. As I was leaving the home I heard a weak call from help from the garden. Upon investigating I found the client on the ground where she had fallen and couldn’t get up. I helped the client up and into the house. Of course our director followed up on the case and notified the family and everything worked out okay.” Maertens-Poole said she did a quick count of the volunteers at her own church and found that there were over 30 who have volunteered with Meals on Wheels. “There must be hundreds of people in Camrose who have been involved with the program, not only giving of their time but of their vehicles. I think the thanks that volunteers accept is the thanks recipients give and the satisfaction one receives in doing a good deed. After a week of delivering meals you feel good. It is a satisfying job.” A quote by MaertensPoole about the Meals on Wheels program in 1977 is as true today as it was then. “The success of this program,” she said, “cannot be measured just in numbers, be it volunteer hours, total meals delivered, recipients or money. For who can measure what it means to someone to be able to remain in their own home longer or the comfort it can give children to know their loved one is being brought a nourishing meal as well as called on five days a week. The volunteers benefit for they become more aware of the human needs of others and thus forget me for a while.”

Mayor Mayer updates Chamber on City progress By Dan Jensen

Mayor Norm Mayer summarized the City’s accomplishments over the past year and gave a preview of what will be happening in the future in a May presentation to Camrose Chamber of Commerce. Strategic plan

Mayer noted city council and administration have startrd work on a new strategic plan on which residents will have the opportunity to provide input through surveys and public consultation sessions at Camrose Public Library June 11 and 17. “The City of Camrose has been using the road map to 2015 strategic plan for the past few years,” said Mayer. “That plan consists of economic development, capital

Norm Mayer

projects and expenditures, core services, core business and decision making protocols, and an engaged and informed community.” The City has already begun to implement some of

the municipal panel recommendations made as part of the core services review that was started in 2013. “We have helped make significant improvements for effectiveness and efficiency of the City,” said Mayer. “Council wants to ensure the City is operating in a low cost, effective and efficient manner.” Mayer said the City has been able to successfully implement its community economic development plan, which was developed with a lot of information provided by the citizens of Camrose. “Under the direction of the department we soon will be hearing and seeing a new branding for the promotion of the City of Camrose. It was unveiled to council

and I think it has a catchy appearance. All the departments will move into being branded by the same thing to keep consistency and have the same message going forward.” The community transportation advisory committee is prepared to make a presentation to council. “The indication is that there are some needs that we will have to address with regards to a transportation service for the community,” said Mayer. “We are going to have to do some soul searching.” Land/development

Mayer said council is discussing where it should be going and what it should be doing in regards to addi-

tional industrial, commercial and residential land. “I don’t have any particular concern with residential land at this stage because I think there are adequate suppliers of it, but I do have concerns with the lack of industrial and commercial land for development because it is very important, if we are going to have the City grow, to have that land and make it happen.” The City sold two highway commercial lots in the area next to the casino in 2013. “There is construction planned on one of them later this year,” said Mayer, “but I haven’t heard of any plans for the other one.” Continued on page 13

School Division band program has successful year Charlie Killam School Bands and the Camrose Grade 5/6 Beginner Band, under the direction of Bob Bailey, can “chart” another successful year at the Alberta Band Association provincial Festival of Bands. Once again they have brought home the highest awards offered at the Festival! Both the Grade 7 Concert Band and the Grade 8/9 Concert Band were recipients of “Superior” awards. The Camrose Grade 5/6 Beginner Band achieved an

“Excellent Plus” (two out of the four adjudicators rated it at “Superior” and the other two at “Excellent” for an overall rating of “Excellent Plus”). Superior awards are reserved for those few bands who perform beyond expectations for their level, as adjudicated by highly ranked band educators and professionals from universities in the USA and Canada. The ABA Festival of Bands is an annual two-week Festival that is heavily attended by bands

throughout Alberta, and draws bands also from B.C., Saskatchewan, and northern USA. The Camrose Grade 5/6 Beginner Band is comprised of beginner band students from Chester Ronning, Jack Stuart, Sparling, and École Sifton Schools. Students interested in choosing band as an option in Grade 7, and who have displayed a good attitude in their band classes are recommended by their band teacher to the Camrose

Grade 5/6 Concert Band. For this ensemble, Mr. Bailey is assisted by Chester Ronning band teacher, Mr. Tom Spila, and Jack Stuart band teacher, Ms. Ingrid Parker. The students in this ensemble work on the repertoire for the group in their own band classes with their individual teachers, then come together for polishing and fine tuning in extracurricular rehearsals after school – through sectionals with the three conductors and massed band rehears-

The number of City lots in the Valleyview subdivision lots is down to two. “The City will not have any residential lots for sale after that,” said Mayer, “however there are three other developments providing residential lots.” Mayer noted the canola crushing facility Cargill is building south of Camrose on the Dried Meat Lake Road will provide positive economic impact for the City as well as the entire region. “Cargill has stated that Camrose has proven itself to be a great community to do business. The Camrose area is a prime canola producing area and we also have the benefit of two railways, being CN and CP with a free interchange system that makes it easy to move from one to the other.” The new facility will have the capability of processing 850 metric tonnes of canola per year and will have a full-time work complement somewhere in the area of 50 people. “There will be roughly 800,000 construction man hours to complete the project,” said Mayer. “During the summer we have had different estimates: anywhere from 200 plus up to 400 to 500 people on site at any one time.” Mayer said the construction time line for the new City Hall project is close to being on schedule, which indicates a completion date of early March, 2015. “The facility will accommodate staff growth for the next thirty years. It will include senior administrators, finance, corporate services, and portions of the infrastructure and planning section, but will not include the community service location, fire or police departments or the public works division of infrastructure and planning.” Mayor also touched on the long-awaited performing arts centre, scheduled to open in October of this year with a full week of performances and activities, and the Brentwood Development on 5.66 acres along 48 Avenue just in front of Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre. “It (Brentwood) will be 14 businesses in total that will occupy the prem-

ises,” said Mayer. “Some of the indicated tenants are Mr. Mike’s, Harvey’s, Swiss Chalet, and Second Cup.” Pioneer Trucking, which built a building in the Mohler 2 subdivision has purchased an additional 26 acres in the subdivision and is hoping to start construction of two more buildings. “They are very involved in pipeline activity,” said Mayer. “The pipe business has become a major industry in Camrose and with everyone waiting for various pipeline approvals things are busy.” The City of Camrose issued building permits with a total value of $52,812,170 in 2013, up from $43,708,000 in 2012. The value of commercial permits was $8,093,857, compared to industrial permits, which totalled $2,955,385, institutional permits which totalled $14,077,295, and residential permits, which led the way at $27,685,632. MoneySense report Mayer highlighted an article by MoneySense Magazine which ranked Camrose as the 40th best city out of 201 in Canada in which to live based on population growth, rate of unemployment, average household income, property taxes and the rate of crime. He also reviewed the municipal operating budget, showing that administration is responsible for five per cent of expenses, the police service 16 per cent, community services 24 per cent, infrastructure and planning five per cent, economic development one per cent, and public works and transportation 19 per cent. “We approved the 2014 budget in February of 2014,” said Mayer. “We had several meetings through December and into January to discuss the budget and still provide the services the community is desirous of having at a reasonable cost factor.” Mayer said the City needs to invest significant dollars over the next few years to maintain, replace and expand its infrastructure. “Only the 2014 capital budget is approved. It will change in the future according to the priorities and funding sources.”

Sorenson pleased with voluntary commitment by banks Canada’s eight major banks will be offering nocost accounts with the same features as low-cost accounts to a wider range of consumers. “To protect consumers and save Canadians money, the Harper Government has welcomed voluntary commitments from Canada’s eight largest banks to enhance low-cost bank accounts and offer no-cost accounts for financially vul-

nerable Canadians including youth, students, and seniors,” said Minister of State (Finance) and Member of Parliament for Crowfoot Kevin Sorenson May 28. “I commend the banks for committing to bring the voluntary guidelines into force by Jan. 15, 2015.” The new guidelines for low-cost and no-cost accounts provide: these services for youth, students,

seniors qualifying for the Guaranteed Income Supplement, and Registered Disability Savings Plan beneficiaries; a minimum of 12 debit transactions and two in-branch transactions per month; chequewriting privileges; no extra charge for deposits, debit cards, pre-authorized payment forms and monthly printed statements; cheque image return or online cheque

image viewing, and; lowcost accounts that will cost $4.00 per month. “Canadians work hard for their money and deserve to keep more of their hardearned money,” said Sorenson. “Our Conservative government is delivering on the commitments made in the 2013 Speech from the Throne and Economic Action Plan 2014 to expand no-cost basic banking ser-

vices and to end unfair administrative fees.” Sorenson encourages qualified constituents to consider these services. “Banks will prominently display information about the availability of low-cost and no-cost accounts in-branch and online soon,” he said. “More than seven million people are forecast to participate in this initiative.”

Nelson receives award for distinguished leadership By Dan Jensen

École Sifton principal Colleen Nelson was one of

25 recipients of the Council for School Leadership’s distinguished leadership awards at the Hyatt Regency in Calgary May 15 for providing high-quality learning opportunities for students and reflecting competencies in the Alberta Principal Quality Practice Guideline. “I feel so humbled by this,” said Nelson, who was nominated by École Sifton vice-principal Todd Sikorski. “I think it is an award for the whole school. I was just a person who was selected. It isn’t really for me, it is for all of us.” Nelson began her educational career in 1978 working for Camrose School District 1315 in the Early Childhood Services Centre. Before coming to École Sifton as principal four years ago, she spent 11 years at Sparling, including one as vice-principal, 11 years at Chester Ronning, including five as vice-principal, and a year-and-a-half at Jack Stuart. “Colleen’s warm and caring nature, along with her strong interpersonal skills, have been the foundation of her successful career as a teacher,” said Sikorski. “It is no surprise that she was able to transfer these skills into a successful administrative career.” Nelson feels one of an administrator’s most important jobs is to foster effective relationships. “I feel it is important that I know my students really well and that I am available to my staff and parents,” she said. Nelson introduced herself to parents quickly after her appointment as École Sifton and was able to develop a strong relationship with the Canadian Parents for French and the members of the school council. “The attendance at school council has grown over the years and, certainly, inspired by Colleen’s commitment, parents have become involved as volunteers in the classrooms, in

our breakfast program, in our hot lunch program, and in our playground revitalization,” said Sikorski. Nelson also feels it is important that an administrator have a vision for where they want to be going as a school. “The vision I have is that everyone at this school work as a team. That is very much my style. The decisions that we make to help our school be the good school that it is are based on ideas that come from staff, the people that work for us, like community agencies, parents and students.” Nelson has always been an advocate of lifelong learning and the need for a community that is always learning. Immediately following her appointment as principal at École Sifton she participated in a Conversational French evening course to support her understanding of the French language. She has been a certified Roots of Empathy instructor since 2009 and was instrumental in bringing this program to Sifton. As well, she has invited parents to become involved and informed in their children’s learning through parent informa-

tion nights on technology, assessment and through Celebrations of Learning in March. “As principals we have to show that we are all learners,” said Nelson. “I think we have changed from feeling that only students learn in a school and that teachers do the dispelling of knowledge. My staff and my students are always learning new things. This job has changed a lot and it is going to keep changing, and that is exciting.” A recipient of a Masters degree in education from the University of Alberta in 2008, Nelson considers herself fortunate that she has been in a position to provide leadership to teachers and help them be clear about what they should be teaching their students. “If you’re going to provide instructional leadership you have to have a good knowledge of curriculum and trends in curriculum and be aware of how we are instructing and assessing,” she said. “How we assess students looks much different than it did four years ago, and I feel really good about that.” Sikorski noted that under Nelson’s leadership,

assessment for learning has become a part of the school culture. “Every reporting term, teachers pair up and peerreview each other’s report card comments. They review the report cards to ensure that the comments are descriptive and include curricular connections, areas of strength, areas for growth and suggestions or strategies for how to improve. Once the report cards have been peer reviewed, they are then given to the admin team for final review. This means that every report card is read at least three times before it is signed by an administrator, ensuring a consistent, fair and balanced student assessment practice.” Nelson has developed the leadership capacity at École Sifton by identifying and working with key individuals in the school community. At staff meetings she asks staff members who have been involved in specific professional development to share their expertise with others. Beyond the school, she meets with the children’s mental health capacity building projects and other school principals to review

school needs and programming. “We all have leadership capacity so we have to look at ways to encourage other people to step forward and then be valued when they do,” said Nelson. “We are really fortunate here that we have a number of staff that rise to the occasion and we want to help recognize them and say ‘you are good at this,’ or ‘thank you for your initiative in this.’ The same goes for people who are behind the scenes. We want to make sure they aren’t getting lost in the shuffle.” Nelson is always aware as principal of the importance of managing school resources and operations. “A very important piece of principaling is managing the dollars and cents that are required to make your school work and making sure it is in good condition,” she said. “I am so grateful to the number of people who help in this regard. BRSD has incredible people at central office and in the finance and maintenance departments who help with that. I know that if this school is mismanaged we could have difficulty in doing the good work we want to accomplish.” As someone who went to school in the city but wound up marrying a farmer, Nelson has a dual perspective that allows her to understand the diverse and unique needs of different environments. “I think it is important to understand where you are in the context of your community,” she said, adding that the families at Sifton fill the spectrum of the socio-economic demographic. “Even though I am not fluent in French I have a deep appreciation for the French culture, and not just the French culture but the ability for all of us at this dual track school to share and appreciate everyone else’s way of life and doing things.” Nelson will be leaving a remarkable legacy when she retires at the end of this school year.

Environmental education launched during Greenspace Master Plan discussions By Amy Avdeeff, Wildlife Stewardship coordinator

On June 5 the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society (CWSS) hosted its first educational event of their summer series. The Greenspace Master Plan event was well attended by members of the community who were eager to learn about the City of Cam-

rose’s plan for greenspaces, which was drafted by Dillon Consulting Limited. The presentation outlined all of the major components of the draft master plan, including connectivity issues, short and long term priority actions, gap analyses, and plans for future greenspaces. After the formal presentation

was completed there was ample time for questions and discussion where community residents were able to voice their concerns, which will be considered while the plan moves into its last stage of final approval. The CWSS’ weekly events will continue Thursday, June 12, at 7

p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre with the ‘Camrose 100km Diet’. Takota Cohen from the Grass Roots Family Farm will be speaking on sustainable agriculture and local food initiatives, including opportunities for Camrose residents to participate in community supported agriculture (CSA).

Business of Summer Contest back for second year Submitted

Visitors coming to Camrose for this summer’s Big Valley Jamboree will once again be arriving amidst fierce competition by Camrose businesses vying for the title of 98.1 CAM-FM Big Valley Jamboree Business of Summer. In the weeks leading up to, and during the 22nd annual Big Valley Jamboree, local businesses entering the contest will decorate their store fronts, and possibly even their staff, to impress a panel of local

judges to win the title. At the same time, they’ll be welcoming visitors to Camrose with open arms. “We’re setting the stage for BVJ – one of the largest icons for Camrose,” states Hazel Cail, executive director of Tourism Camrose. “Visitors are realizing that Camrose offers absolutely everything they may need or want – from large commercial retail outlets to cute little unique boutiques – let’s decorate, get in the spirit, and show that we welcome them and sincere-

ly appreciate them visiting us.” The Cam-FM Big Valley Jamboree Business of Summer contest is a partnership between the Camrose Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Camrose, 98.1 CAM-FM, and Big Valley Jamboree. “Big Valley Jamboree is the biggest event in the city every year and CAM-FM is proud to encourage and support our local business partners as they showcase Camrose,” said John

Roberts, program director, 98.1 CAM-FM. In the end, the winner of the contest will receive a trophy, Big Valley Jamboree tickets, a promotional package worth over $20,000 that includes advertising on 98.1 CAM-FM and at the Big Valley Jamboree event, and, of course, bragging rights for a year as holder of the 98.1 CAM-FM Big Valley Jamboree Business of the Summer. “By participating in the contest Camrose businesses are welcoming people

from around the world and extending an invitation to Come on in,” said Sharon Anderson, executive director of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce. “This is an excellent opportunity for our local businesses to show visitors to Camrose that they will be taken care of while they are here.” The competition closes July 18, with a winner being announced on 98.1 CAMFM at 7:30 a.m. on July 28.

CALC presents literacy award to Maureen Schreiber By Dan Jensen

The Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council presented its 2014 Literacy Award to Maureen Schreiber May 28 in recognition of the work she has done to improve the reading writing skills of families and individuals. Schreiber has been employed by Camrose Family Literacy for the last 11 years as a program facilitator. “Her dedication has helped literally hundreds of families,” explained Camrose Family Literacy coordinator Lynne Hartwick. “She provides support and information to parents to help them give their children a solid foundation of learning that they will use to be successful in their lives.” Schreiber tailors her home visits to each individual family. “She looks at their interests and strengths and what is needed,” said Hartwick. “She talks about what they need and is never satisfied until she can help them. She always goes way beyond and above expectations in everything. If there are health concerns she will find the appropriate connection that families need to address that concern. If there are housing concerns, if there are financial concerns, she will do whatever she can to find the connection that family needs to get help.” Hartwick noted the activities that Schreiber does with children are both fun and educational, and that the toys she uses to teach are made with things normally found around the home. “She has so many great ideas,” said Hartwick. “I visit her sessions every two or three years and I learn so much.” Schreiber receives glowing praise from parents who are asked to evaluate the family literacy program. “The five most usual words that we receive from parents to describe her are gentle, caring, knowledgeable, awesome and amazing,” said Hartwick. “Those are the words that most describe Maureen by the people that she works with.”

Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council executive director Diane McLaren, right, presented the 2014 Literacy Award to Camrose Family Literacy program facilitator Maureen Schreiber May 28.

After going to university to receive her teaching degree, Schreiber went to British Columbia to work with the Children’s Aid Society. She then returned home, where she taught in the resource room at Bawlf School for a number of years until being swept off her feet by her husband, Horst. While raising their children, she taught Sunday School for more than 25 years. “She encouraged her class,” said friend Leona Dickau. “Our kids went to her Sunday School classes to read, analyze, interpret and sometimes memorize some of the stories. She encouraged them to discuss together what they had been taught.” Along with teaching the playschool program in Strome for 17 years, Schreiber taught the Rhymes that Bind program for the County of Flagstaff. “At that time I was a public health nurse and a number of women in the

Forestburg area would arrange their appointments early so they could get to Rhymes that Bind,” said Dickau. When she moved to Camrose Schreiber again offered the Rhymes that Bind program, starting with Children’s Services. Dickau described Schreiber as a dedicated individual who has done many home visits, lots of teaching, mentoring and reading. “Mothers have learned about parenting techniques, child development, how to stimulate learning and how to treat their kids,” said Dickau. “If there were any ideas in a book or magazine Maureen adapted them. One of these ideas was a matching bag, a bag securely sewn with a window inside it, and inside that window area a number of little objects that the children could talk about.” Shcreiber is of the belief that family literacy is not

about teaching children to read early but about helping parents to understand that they are the first and most important teacher of their young children. “It is about helping them to understand that through every day activities you can help your children’s learning and provide a good foundation for when they get to the formal education system,” she said. Schreiber also believes that play is more than providing children with a room full of toys, a library of videos and an organized activity. “Play is how children learn and it is how they learn to cooperate, to share, to follow rules, to take turns,” she said. “It is where they learn to build and create, and learn about the world. Where they pretend by acting out adult roles, where they learn to use their imaginations and create.” Schreiber agrees with

children’s entertainer Raffi, who says that children learn best not through tablets or smart phones but through real time experiences and interactions with others. “This is all based on early childhood research and yet this is a message that is being lost today,” she said. “It is a great social experience to find out how the different use of all the technology is going to affect your kids.” Schreiber has learned that families can be very resilient under very difficult situations, and that children, despite their differences, are, in a lot of ways, very similar. “They (children) all go through similar stages of development and they all thrive on one to one attention. I have worked with children with developmental delays. I have worked with two-year-olds that have language delays, and three- or four-year-olds with language issues.” Schreiber has found her work with English as second language students to be very rewarding and interesting. “I worked with one family that was Korean, one that was Spanish, one French and two that were German speaking,” she said. “I don’t speak any of those languages but play is a universal language and gestures, simple instructions, demonstrations and single words go a long way, and it is not very long before the shy little children warm up and start to enjoy your visits. When you are able to leave a children’s book each time it is a great benefit to both the parents and the children because it helps the parents with their pronunciation, learning of English and English grammar, and gives them confidence to be able to read to their children, who are also learning English.” Hartwick said Schreiber’s standards are far beyond average or even above average. “She will accept nothing less than excellence in anything she does. She is inspirational to us all in that way and she is a leader in her field.”

Newton art exhibition Affordable websites Garry Newton’s In the Land of Magic Realism: for small business Botanical Etchings collection will be on display at the – created locally Chuck MacLean Arts Centre By Murray Green

until June 25. Newton is known for his intricate etchings of plants and birds and the environments in which they live. The laborious process of etching a design from a copper plate hasn’t changed a lot since the 18th century, but Newton’s exacting standards of botanical accuracy, combined with his evidently engagement of nature gives it a fresh enchantment. Newton’s exhibition was inspired by the novel Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The pieces, Newton once explained, “present certain themes from the book in two-dimensional, flat quality, almost as though they were staged scenery. No foreground, no background, just a middle ground. They’re not illustrations per se from the book but they attempt to capture the mood and the atmosphere and some of the events that occurred in the novel.” This display is part of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program.

Rook excited about new Flash TV series By Murray Green

780-672-3142

Actor Chad Rook landed the role of the lead bad guy on the new WB (Warner Brothers) television series Flash that will be making its debut this fall. “I play the main villain called Clyde Mardon, who is the Weather Wizard from the comic book series. I’m the bad villain who controls the weather like tornadoes and any other bad weather that Mother Nature can produce. I get to go head to head with the superhero Flash,” he said. His character, Clyde, was a gifted scientist, working on a wand that could change the weather. One day his brother, Mark, escaped from prison and came to Clyde for help. Clyde would not help him, and started to call the police to take Mark back to jail. Mark panicked, and grabbed Clyde’s newly constructed weather wand. He then hit Clyde with a bolt of lightning. Mark went on to become the Weather Wizard. He always claimed that he found Clyde dead from a heart attack. Chad lived in Camrose between high school and launching his career in Vancouver and now Hollywood. “I’ve been on a lot of different television series and

quite often – about 90 per cent of the time – I play the villain. It’s a lot more fun. You get to do the coolest things and drive the coolest cars. If I have a choice between the good guy and villain, I’ll always choose the villain. The best part of acting is being various crazy guys.” Most actors don’t like to be cast as the same type of character. “By playing the villain, it is always a completely different character. It actually helps my career by showing I can do it. It is never boring,” said Chad. “You can be a vampire one day or a wizard the next as opposed to being a cop one day and a neighbour the next. It’s fun.” Chad enjoyed reading comics and about superheroes when he was younger. “I grew up liking the comic book characters and now to play one is great. I liked to draw them as well. To actually play a villain in the comic books that you read about, or go to comic shows as that character is a lot of fun,” he added. Chad’s family lives in Camrose and he still keeps in contact with some local friends. Continued to page 23

Ballet Camrose to stage The Nutcracker June 15 By Dan Jensen

Ballet Camrose will put the finishing touch on a busy and successful year when it stages The Nutcracker at Charlie Killam School this Sunday, June 15. “It’s our 50th anniversary show,” said Ballet Camrose artistic director Colleen Salahub-Olsen. “We have about 100 students between the ages of three and 18 who will be participating.” Ballet Camrose has been working on The Nut-

cracker since last September. “We finished the choreography on the May long weekend,” said SalahubOlsen. “All the students are doing now is perfecting their technique and performance skills.” The performance will cap a busy weekend for Ballet Camrose, which will hold its annual dance extravaganza the night before, starting at 6:30 p.m. “We’ll be featuring the many students who participated in and won medals

at dance and music festivals in Coronation, Vermilion and Camrose, including Cassandra Olsen, who won awards for outstanding dancer in Coronation and Vermilion, Kristen Pearson, who won most promising dancer in Camrose, Michaela Gibson, who won multiple awards at Vermilion for character ballet and lyrical dance, and Jocelyn Olsen, who won a scholarship in Camrose,” explained Salahub-Olsen. “It’s a chance for them to show their proud parents

and friends how far they have progressed over the past year.” The extravaganza will also feature a performance of The Moment, a dance that won the award for best choreography at Vermilion, as well as the group that won the top award at Vermilion in the category for character ballet. Salahub-Olsen believes that in addition to offering physical benefits of healthier hearts and lungs, stronger bones and greater selfconfidence and self-esteem,

Ballet Camrose has a lot to teach students, not just about dance but about commitment and life in general. “We show them the importance of work ethic, working together as a team and supporting each other, stressing things like the need to be on time. The basic skills they need when they enter the workforce are skills that they learn here.” The Nutcracker is a two-act ballet with a score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

Rook a Wizard Continued from page 20

“I started working as a model there. I worked at Cadillacs (Norsemen Inn) and played some parts with the Churchmice Players,” Chad recalled. The former Camrose resident has acted in several hit television shows and movies before, but none that have created as much excitement as the superhero Flash. “Working in a role with Flash can change everything. I’m getting a lot of requests for other villain roles and it is good to be busy. I’m waiting for the word to see if the pilot we filmed will get the go-ahead to fully launch the series,” he said. “You never know with these kinds of characters. You get to do crazy and cool things, but you never know where it will end up. It could branch off into a feature film, or you could have action figures made from your character. The following is so big.” If his character is eliminated, he is still busy with other projects. “I’m in a Hallmark movie and that has a whole other following as well. Success is a snowball effect. Once you are busy, you get even busier. My agent is very good at letting people know what I’m up to and the demand has been increasing,” he added. His family is very good at keeping him humble and reminding him about his roots. “It’s exciting, but I also have to keep going to pay the bills,” Chad continued. “It is cool working with people that you remember watching as a youth. It reminds me that I have come a long way since my first Churchmice Players theatre production.” The unfortunate part of the business is leaving home. “I would tell anyone in high school or in Churchmice that is thinking of acting is that you have to live where the jobs are. Alberta is not known for its film industry and it’s not one of those things you can do out of your home,” said Chad. I had to move to Vancouver to get started and go south of the border regularly.” Continued on page 37

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. No funding

I know this letter will draw criticism for asking the following questions, and raising concerns regarding Alberta Education’s total funding of the new Camrose Francophone School, for the anticipated 30 students, but surely these questions need answers. I spent a year in Montreal as an Anglophone. Quebec makes no concessions for the Anglophone minority. There certainly was never an option of Quebec Education completely funding an Anglophone school. So I ask, does Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights only apply to Francophones in Alberta? And where did Alberta Education find the funding and the justification for a school for 30 students? Alberta Education has no money for teachers’ salaries – their salaries were “frozen,” and their right to arbitration removed. Minister Johnson resists the K-12 math curriculum changes for 600,000 students, requested by 16,000 petitioners, and complains that “New curriculum takes cash, educators

say” (March 22, Edmonton Journal). An Alberta government budget release (March 7/13) stated, “many school boards will see fewer operating dollars this year”, while claiming it “puts students first and supports the vision of Inspiring Education” (spending $7 billion – $35 million each school day). The same document announced $500 million to begin to fulfill Premier Redford’s promise of 50 new schools and 70 school modernizations. Since Redford has been disposed of, does that mean those schools have also been scrapped? Was this Francophone school included in that first $500 million ear-tagged for those 50 new schools, or is this “new” (found) money? If so, from where? I also want to know what the elusive “number” is that warrants a Francophone school in Alberta. Nowhere else in Alberta’s Education/ School System do our tax dollars provide six staff (a secretary, three teachers, one teacher/administrator, and a preschool leader for [only] 30 students. That is a teacher-student ratio of one to five – or if eliminating the secretary (and a janitor) the ratio is one to six. A misuse of resources and funds! Even “special needs’ and/or “gifted” Alberta students are not accorded such services and funding. One classroom teacher usually handles 25 to 30 students (including ESL and severely “challenged” students), while thousands of “gifted” students go ignored. So why is Alberta Education paying for six staff, all the equipment (furniture, boards, operating systems, etc.), free bussing within a 50-km radius,

plus the lease of Gardner College, to provide a Francophone school for 30 students in Camrose and area when a French immersion program already exists? How is this use of Albertans’ tax dollars justified for just 30 students? Those “education” tax dollars should benefit more than 30 students, and could have provided extra classroom space at Our Lady of Mt. Pleasant, which is crowded to overflowing. Or it could have improved the current ailing K-12 math curriculum for over 600,000 students, or those dollars could have rid Alberta Education of its SLA fad currently foisted on all students (a fad which banishes grade, marks and percentages), thereby preventing them from applying for scholarships or reputable university entrance. Or, as stated earlier, the Francophone money would be more justifiable if spent providing additional programming within Sifton’s existing French immersion program instead of leasing separate space and hiring six staff so that 30 students, already accommodated in the current system, can, as Aube put it, be “100 per cent Anglophone and 100 per cent Francophone, and have the best of both.” Had these tax dollars been used at Sifton, Aube would not have to worry about “being respectful of Sifton” or “jeopardizing their program” by attracting “too many of their students.” And, I would not have had to write this letter and jeopardize being criticized for it.

OLMP sends off largest class of graduates By Brad Ofrim

Thank you to all who are here today as we celebrate our graduation. I would personally like to thank all of my family and friends, as well as my teachers, for without any of you I could not be standing up here right now. We have all spent time at OLMP and now that time is quickly coming to an end. During our years here, we have endured the sometimes difficult task of learning. I could go on and on with a repetitive speech filled with clichés and try to explain why learning is so important to me and so important to society, but instead I would like to express that same idea with a bit of a story. It occurred in the second half of the nineteenth century when a scientist began work on an experiment to try to discover more about the physical properties of light. I will try to spare you all of the details about the physics behind the whole experiment, but it went something like this: You know how when you drop a rock into water, waves form? Well those waves need the water to travel. This property of waves having to travel through some sort of medium is consistent with most forms of waves. It would have seemed like it should have also been consis-

tent with light because light is actually a type of wave. We know that there is virtually nothing in the vacuum of space but light is still able to travel from the Sun to the Earth. So how can this wave of light pass through nothing? Some scientists preformed experiments to try to find this mysterious medium that light was passing through. Initially their experiment was inconclusive. It just didn’t work. They realized that their design was not accurate enough to actually detect anything. They knew that they had to build a better apparatus to make more accurate measurements. Again it did not work. With all of their precise calculations and predictions, these guys simply could not get their experiment to work. Now, would you believe me if I said that the scientist who designed this experiment won the Nobel Prize for it even though it did not work as planned? Well he did. His experiment may be regarded as a disappointment to some, but to others it was a great success because it showed that this mysterious medium was actually nonexistent. Sometimes to learn something you have to be wrong. A so-called “incorrect answer” can be a good thing. In the case of these scientists, their initial mistaken prediction led to a

better understanding of our universe today. There are times when it is better to be right, for example on a test, but there are in fact times when it may be more useful to be incorrect. By not just trying to be right, a person is able to see past any preconceived notions or misconceptions and is able to understand what is truly correct. You see, sometimes not just focusing on the right answer can be a great way to gain information. In the case of the scientists from the story, disproving their own original theory led them to a better understanding of what they were studying. I want to encourage all of you to not let being wrong discourage you, but instead, let those experiences broaden your perspective and allow yourself to gain from them. In the words of one of the most revered minds in history, Albert Einstein, “Failure is success in progress.” As each of us move on in our lives, we will all experience both success and failure. While the success feels rewarding, it is from the failures that we can learn more, and truly gain more. As we go on from this point in our lives, may each of us experience success and failure and have the wisdom to learn from it all.

St. Mary’s nurse assists Ecuador patients By Murray Green

Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose employee Catherine Turn gave up her holidays to help people in Ecuador receive medical treatment. Catherine is a registered nurse who is currently the clinical safety coordinator at St. Mary’s. She spent most of her time in the operating room in Leduc until her position changed a year ago. Operation Esperanza is headed by team leader and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tom Greidanus. Every late January and early February he takes a team of medical staff to perform orthopedic surgery. “We have to perform surgery in a hospital. So, doctors, nurses, physio therapists, dentists and general helpers from the Edmonton and Calgary areas join the team to go every year. This was the 13th year that I have gone,” explained Catherine. “The core group has been the same since I have been going.” The group rents space from the hospital. “My team is an adult team that does hip and knee replacements. They have a local doctor that screens patients throughout the year. He sees patients that have debilitating arthritis and encourages them to make their way to the city we are in, which is always Cuenca in Ecuador,” said Catherine. “We were there for 10 days (Jan. 29 to Feb. 10), but we performed the surgeries for one week. The day before the surgeries is a screening day for all of the people who have been seen throughout the year and they are assessed by our group. Between 150 and 200 people line up to be seen by the group.” The doctors then prioritize whoisgoingtobeonthesurgerylist. “The people that don’t make the list go to see the therapists who fit them with a brace, crutches, a cane, or a walker and give them exercises to do. If they are not successful they can come back next and try again to get on the list,” added Catherine. Out of all the people

about 40 are scheduled for surgery. “It is a matter a time and resources. We can only perform eight a day, which is more than what be done her (in Canada),” said Catherine. “People ask what is the lasting impression from your group. Those 40 are helped, but what about the rest of the people? It is good to know that in the years that our team has gone surgeons have gone to medical students and shown them how to test babies for hip problems. The orthopedic surgeons meet with local doctors to review difficult cases to share knowledge. The dentists go to schools to teach children how to brush their teeth properly.” In most cases Ecuador is lacking in resources, rather than the desire to improve. “Sometimes it means working with them in what they can manage. I have found in the hospital that they are always observing what we’re doing. We have

seen that their infection control practices have changed. Before one patient went on a stretcher and then the next would go on without it being wiped,” she continued. “We use expensive wipes here but they needed something they could still use to get the job done in a way that they would have the resources to do it. We thought how about an ice cream pail full of soap and water, or disinfective soap to use for the day. We see that their practices are changing and that is the lasting legacy.” The hospital administrator visited with the Alberta team and suggested that the nurses needed to be taught. “We said make a list of what the nurses would be interested in us talking about and we could make a presentation to the nurses next year when we come back. That has been really successful,” said Catherine. “Here a needle would never be used for more than one patient. That’s been the practice for more than 30

years here. There they might draw a syringe full of medication and inject it into many intervenes. We suggested at least changing the needle every time and asked if they could afford it. It was the first step. You see over the years that they are slowly changing within the resources they are allowed.” Catherine also said before, they would take the patient from the operating table and then check on that patient the next day. Here, patients are checked on regularly every hour. They are now checking more and asking about pain management. “We purchase everything we need to use here and take it down there with the exception of narcotics for pain, which are purchased from the hospital. When we leave here with our group a couple of guys carry 50 pound hockey bags full of supplies for the week,” she said. “The supplies are sponsored by Rotary Clubs and through a silent auction dinner fundraiser we have every fall.” Every medical staff person that goes over pays for his or her trip just like he or she is going on a vacation. “Sometimes when hospitals here are upgraded, we purchase the old equipment that has some life left in it and take it with us as well. Some hospitals have donated equipment,” she said. “The OR (operating room) upgraded to cordless drills and saws. The old equipment had a hose attached to nitrogen that powered them, so they had a set that I was able to take this year to use down there. I was incredibly thankful for that. To purchase it was beyond what our group could afford to spend.” Ecuador is a country

where 10 per cent of the people have 90 per cent of the wealth. “For the other 90 per cent of the people the average wage would be probably around $350 a month. A hip replacement would be the same price as here,” Catherine explained. “If you had to pay for it, that would be between $4,000 and $5,000. So, it is not even within a possibility to afford treatment like that.” Because of the culture in Ecuador where everyone works hard, arthritis develops in the hips are an early age. People there need hip replacements when they are in their 30s and are the family providers, compared to Canada when people tend to be 55 or older. “It is a big impact to them to be able to go back to work and provide for their family. Young families not only look after their children, but often their parents and grandparents as well. They are happy to see us, knowing we are going to help them,” said Catherine. “This year we performed hip surgery on a lady that had her other hip done nine years ago. She was so happy and I couldn’t believe she still had the stuffed animal that we gave her. We always take stuffed animals to give patients. It sounds funny, but we also use them as pillows for positioning and we leave them with the patients. They also pad the instruments going down to Ecuador.” Catherine also recalled a former hip patient who has learned English and now volunteers as a translator for patients when they are there.

Henry Sych It is with heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Henry, our beloved husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, at the age of 92 years. Henry leaves to mourn his loving wife of 63 years Sophia (Hanas); sons Morris (Theresa) of Red Deer, Larry (Marlene) of Millet and Jerry (Ariadne) of Bittern Lake; five grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; brother Paul (Bari); and sister Millie Podgurny; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Harry and Mary Sych; brother Mike; and sisters Bessie Galenza and Irene Demuynck. Henry was born on the farm north of Gwynne and spent his life farming in the area. In later years, he started to work for a drilling company in Nisku, but his first love was the farm. In 1998, they moved to Camrose, but Henry spent most of his time on the farm. He was a very devoted husband, father, grandfather and very proud great-grandfather. We are very grateful to the doctors and nursing staff at the Mazankoski Heart Institute, the staff at Home Care, and for the care provided by St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose.

Eugene “Gene” John Waldorf October 22, 1937 – May 16, 2014 Gene was the youngest child and only son of Nick and Genevieve Waldorf. He was born on October 22, 1937 at Providence Hospital in Daysland. Gene passed away on May 16, 2014 at his vacation home in Osoyoos, BC at the age of 76. At the age of 18 months, he spent several weeks in Daysland Hospital with third degree burns to his body – this was the first of many hospital stays in his life. Gene received his education at Lakefield School until 1948 when, with only five students left, the school closed. He then finished his schooling at Leith. After his schooling, he farmed with his father and worked for Bruce Campbell, then was employed by Crawfords of Alberta delivering machinery from the States. In 1960, Gene married Carol Zwack and they had six daughters whom they raised on the family farm north of Daysland. Over the years, Gene was involved in many organizations. Some of these include the Elks, Ag Society, Arena Board, Agriculture Service Board, Seed Cleaning Plant Board, Battle River Hockey League, Rural Crime Watch, Hospital Board, Flagstaff Senior Housing Board and Daysland Town Council on which he served as Mayor. If there was a board, Gene was on it. After selling his farm, Gene married Martha. He became an entrepreneur and opened Geno’s Liquor Store in Daysland, complete with emergency phoneline. Gene was a regular at the coffee shop and arena in Daysland where he enjoyed socializing with members of the community. He was the Town of Daysland’s biggest supporter. Gene’s true love was setting up the Aging in Place Foundation which owns and operates Providence Place. This was his labour of love even up until his final days. In 2012, he received The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal which honors significant contributions and achievements of Canadians. That same year, a Community Builders Dinner was held in Heisler on his behalf. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Martha; his six daughters Val (Robert) Volk, Jackie (the late Doug) Volk, Shelley (John VanderWoude), Annette (Lyle) Zimmer, Debbie (Daryl) Zimmer and Shauna (Brad) Zimmer; his two stepdaughters Rhonda (Keith) Bendfeld and Rhodelle (Wayne) Taylor; his 21 grandchildren Brad (Anna), Ryan, Jordan and Brooklyn Volk, Darci, Chelsie, Taylor and Lindsay Volk, Parker and Joely Zimmer, Courtney, Derek and Kolby Zimmer, Damon and Carson Zimmer, Brett and Mikayla Bendfeld and Elize, Beth and Kennedy Taylor; his great-grandsons Trenton and Liam Volk; and one sister Eileen Spiller. Gene was predeceased by his parents; sister Muriel Twerdun; and son-in-law Doug Volk. For his family and friends, Gene has been an example of determination, strong will and perseverance. To his final breath, he maintained his quick wit, sense of humor and independence. A quote Gene lived by: “If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.” (William Arthur Ward) A Mass of the Resurrection was celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 24, 2014 from Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church, Daysland with Rev. Leon Kler as celebrant. Inurnment has taken place in Daysland Cemetery. Memorial contributions in memory of Gene are gratefully accepted to Providence Place, Daysland Hospital Foundation, Daysland Arena or Battle River Community Foundation.

Augustana confers 158 degrees at convocation By Dan Jensen

The Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta presented 74 Bachelor of Arts, 60 Bachelor of Science, 19 Bachelor of Management and five Bachelor of Music degrees at its annual spring convocation June 1. Bachelor of Science graduate Emily Ervin, from Wetaskiwin, received the Augustana medal, given to the student with the highest academic achievement in the graduating class, as well as a science medal for the highest academic achievement in her discipline. Andrea Benoit, from Stettler, received a medal for the highest academic achievement in the fine arts. Brendan Dzioba, from Spruce Grove, received a medal for the highest academic achievement in the social sciences. Holly Abt, from Wetaskiwin, received a medal for the highest academic achievement in the humanities. University of Alberta chancellor Ralph B. Young welcomed the graduates as U of A alumni. “The moment that we shake hands and confer your degree is the moment that

Augustana Medal and Science Medal winner Emily Ervin receives her stole at the Augustana convocation ceremony.

binds us together as alumni for all time,” said Young. Univiersity of Alberta board of governors representative Richard Wilson commended the graduates for achieving a level of excellence that will forever be recognized in their degree, and assured them that the U of A remains steadfast in its pursuit of being among the world’s great public universities. “I know you will bring

great honour to our institution as you work to solve the many challenges facing our cities, province, and indeed the global community,” said Wilson. “The board of governors salutes you today and hopes this ceremony will be remembered as a highlight of a full and satisfying career.” Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson expressed the

hope and expectation that the lives the graduates lead will make a difference in the world. “I want to encourage you to embrace, without reservation, the opportunities that await you,” said Olson. “They may not always be obvious and they may not always be easy to find but they are there. You are graduating from a unique and special faculty of a world class university in a province and a country brimming with opportunity. No one is better positioned than you to make a positive difference to the people around you in your life, no matter what you end up doing and no matter where you end up doing it.” University of Alberta president Indira Samarasekera told the graduates she takes pride in knowing that the U of A has demanded much from them over the past few years. “Our emphasis of excellence means your professors have done their best to test your limits, push you to do more than you often thought possible, asked you to pursue tough questions and tackle difficult problems,” said

Samarasekera. “I hope we have inspired you. Opened up new avenues of thought and inquiry for you and helped you deepen your understanding of the world and your talents and passions.” Samarasekera urged the graduates to use their talents in a worthy way. “A life well-lived is a rewarding life. It requires that you do not squander your opportunity to add to society to make a difference. Each of you has the talent, along with the knowledge, skills and experiences that you are obligated to use well in the service of others. That is what the first University of Alberta president meant when he said a university is for the uplifting of the whole people.” Samarasekera also encouraged the graduates to use their imaginations and be creative in all that they do. “The one thing I am certain about your generation is this: you must be imaginative and creative,” said Samarasekera. “The world faces significant challenges. Bring fresh, original thinking to these problems and take the risks that are needed to solve them.”

Milbrandt encourages graduates By Dan Jensen

Augustana professor Jeremy Mouat presents a gold honour cord to Jessica Govier, from England. Gold honour cords are presented to students who graduate with distinction – a grade point average of at least 3.5 on the University of Alberta 4.0 grade scale.

Augustana convocation guest speaker Dr. Roger Milbrandt told graduates that they will influence the way others think and that it is their responsibility to be informed. “If people in general do not have a moral right to be indifferent to political questions, then those of you with a liberal education have, in my judgment, an additional responsibility: that is the responsibility to be informed,” said Dr. Milbrandt. “Whatsoever things are true is an excellent motto and it is the motto of our university. If you take an interest in political issues and you become well informed, you will certainly develop what might be called a political philosophy or a political ideology.” Dr. Milbrandt expressed the important difference

Dr. Roger Milbrandt

between obeying orders and doing your job. “When you obey orders you submit to an authority which is external, and always somewhat arbitrary,” he said. “When you do your job you are doing what your community has enabled you to do and what, in doing well, serves the community. I hope that in your futures you will be able to spend much more time doing your job than obeying orders and that if

you have a choice between doing orders and doing your job you will have the courage to do your job.” Dr. Milbrandt concluded by touching on Augustana’s first Cuba program, held in a university in Havana named Enrique Varona, a Cuban educator of the early twentieth century. “About 90 years ago Varona said something that I think is more poignantly true for our time than for his. Varona said ‘As long as there are teachers who love their work, humanity will always have a future.’ I have loved my work for 40 years. I have spoken to you from my depths. If I have spoken clearly, if you have listened carefully, if you ponder what you have heard, and if Varona proves to have been right, then humanity has a future. May all of you long play a brilliant role in that future.”

GMC Sierra HD Hard working, unmistakable styling

Pete Pastuck By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD trucks at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC in Camrose work hard and do it with unmistakable GMC style. Sierra 2500HD and 3500 models are distinguished by a power dome-style hood with a louvered design, as well as a wide grille with chrome accents and full-width chrome steel front bumper. A lineup of 17- (Dually), 18- and 20-inch wheel/tire combinations are offered. Heated outside mirrors are available on all models, while heated outside and power-adjustable vertical camper-style mirrors with turn signal indicators are available on 2500HD SLE, SLT and Denali, and standard on 3500 HD SLE, SLT and Denali models. Interior

Sierra HD models are designed to be comfortable and convenient while on the job, including numerous storage compartments that provide covered access for everything from work gloves to laptops. For those who work out of their truck, Sierra HDs serve as mobile workspaces,

offering mobile WiFi as a dealer-installed option, USB connectivity, Bluetooth for phone connectivity, Sirius XM Satellite Radio and a navigation system. Multiple charge points enable multiple electronic devices to operate simultaneously. Cold weather customers warm up more quickly with the Duramax 6.6 litre engine, which has a starting time on part with gas engines. Its glow plug cycle time takes no more than three seconds in temperatures as low as minus 29 Celsius. Power adjustable pedals are standard on Denali and available on SLE and SLT models. Front bucket seats with 10-way power driver and passenger seat adjusters are standard on SLT models. Front bucket seats with six-way power adjusters are available on SLE models. Leather-appointed and heated and cooled front seats are standard on Denali models and available on SLT. Powertrains

A Vortec 6.0 litre gas V-8 with variable valve timing is matched with the HydraMatic 6L90 six-speed auto-

matic transmission as the standard powertrain across the Sierra HD model range. This combination delivers excellent performance and efficiency with an emphasis on low-rpm performance. It is rated at 360 horsepower (268 kW) and 380 lb.-ft of torque (515 Nm). The bi-fuel version of the 6.0 litre engine – known by its LC8 engine code – features special hardened valves and valves seats that enables it to run on compressed natural gas or gasoline. The Duramax 6.6 diesel and Allison 1000 six-speed transmission powertrain combination is available on all 2500HD and 3500 HD models. Highlights of the Duramax dieselolo include: 397 horsepower (296 kW) at 3,000 rpm, 765 lb.-ft. of torque (1,037 Nm) at 1,600 rpm; high-pressure Piezo-actuated fuel system for greater fuel efficiency; improved performance and reduced emissions; an exhaust brake system that enables controlled vehicle slowdown on downhill grades without actuating the brakes; a selective catalytic reduction after-treatment system using diesel exhaust fluid injection to provide the

best overall diesel characteristics and performance – with a range of about 8,000 km between DEF refills. Combustion and aftertreatment have been optimized to provide about 1,125 km between diesel particulate filter regenerations – a 75 per cent improvement over the previous system. The Allison 1000 features driver shift control with tap up/tap down shifting and a patented elevated idle mode cab warm-up feature. Also, the two-haul mode reduces shift cycling for better control and improved cooling when towing or hauling heavy loads. Chassis and suspension

All Sierra HD models featured fully-boxed frame assemblies – 18 different assemblies that accommodate all of the range’s configurations. The front sections are hydroformed.. The front gross axle weight rating of 2,721 kg enables a snow plow to be used on all 4WD cab configurations with the available snow plow prep package. Five different torsion bar rates support five different front gross axle weight ratings to help stabilize the range of

trim heights of various models under load while enhancing appearance, handling, durability, tire wear and alignment. The trim height is adjusted on each bar via a single bolt, easily allowing the height to be changed to account for the weight of a snow plow or other accessories. Safety

Sierra has a strong body structure to absorb crash energy and provide a protective safety cage around occupants. Head curtain side air bags with rollover protection and seat mounted sideimpact air bags for driver and right-front passenger are standard on Denali models with single rear wheels and available on other Sierra HD models. The roofmounted head curtain air bags include design features that provide increased rollover protection and occupant containment, while the seatmounted air bags provide thorax and pelvic protection. See the 2014 Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD trucks at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 385048 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

“In early June the 4-H club in Forestburg will be raising money and holding An Amazing Race in the communities for about an hour. That sounds exciting,” said Muriel. The Battle River Railway is a short line track that was purchased by local farmers on June 18, 2010 to haul their grain to market. The first train pulled 50 cars of grain to Camrose in December. This year the BRR will be shipping 2,000 cars. It now hauls fertilizer, oil and other cargo. “When we purchased the railway, we wanted to increase the local economy while at the same time ship our grain,” said Ken. “This railway moves through two counties and six villages, or smaller municipalities, and this project affects us all. This has caused us to all work together in tourism.” After purchasing a vintage passenger car, the railway expanded to family tours when the line wasn’t being used to haul grain or oil. For more information on the tours contact Shara-Lynn Weller at 780-374-2180, or Muriel at 780-879-3924. You can also visit www.friendsofbrr.ca for updated news. T:11”

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.

By Murray Green

Michael Davidse didn’t just play in the second annual ABC (Alberta British Columbia) Border Bowl, he made his presence felt in the first two plays of the game to set the tone. “We dominated the game 38-2. They had no offence off the start and we were able to shut them down,” said the Camrose Composite High School Trojans football player and Grade 10 student. “After that, our offence started to roll. They had about the same team as last year, but we were a lot better this year.” The linebacker was quick to read the plays. “On the first play they ran into my hole and it was one-on-one. If I didn’t tackle him he would have gone for 20 yards. I just dove for his legs, wrapped up and brought him down,” he explained. “The next play they tried to run the same thing because they saw an opportunity to make the huge play. I saw it coming, so I was able to shut it down again.” Michael was in on a few more big plays including catching a receiver in the backfield. “Our goal was not to let them have a good start and that worked for us,” he added. Normally, the local linebacker plays in the middle, but on a stacked team Alberta squad he moved over to the right side. “They had bigger linebackers than me, so they put me on the weak side to use my speed to contain their run better. You have to contain more and make the adjustment not to roam as much,” he said. “You have to stay on your side to make sure the play isn’t coming your way on a reverse or broken play. You are the last wall of defence if they decide to come around on your side.” Team Alberta is made up of Grade 10 and 11 players. Michael’s goal is to make the team again next year. “My goal is to play junior and university football after high school,” he said. “Right now though, I think we will have a stronger Trojans team next season. We have a lot of good players who were Grade 10 last year and we have some good players going into Grade 10 next year. I think this the year we can make playoffs and go to provincials. We have a lot of great talent on this team and the guys are talking that they want to do it this year.” The team has drop in practices on Saturdays at CCHS for those who want to get a head start on the fall season. “We will work on timing, foot skills and I will be working out in the gym,” said Michael. “Some of us will be focusing on getting prepared for the upcoming season.”

Jeremy Olesen earns “Bowl for the Green” title for 2014

Vivianne Grue, Director of Special Projects, Battle River Community Foundation; Jeremy Olesen; Blain Fowler, Publisher, Camrose Booster Ltd.

After over 13,000 balls were lobbed, thrown, or rolled with calculated precision down the one hundredd foot temporary bowling alley at Jaywalkers’ Jamboree, one bowler, despite some serious and talented competition in the finals, came out as best of the best. Jeremy Olesen is a serious Jaywalkers’ Jamboree bowling competitor. In fact, he does not recall a year when he has not made it to the finals of Bowl for the Green. This year he joined eighty-eight additional bowlers in the final rolloff. Each had done what many festival attendees believed impossible – to aim and hit one of the four holes on the one hundred foot bowling alley. At 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 7 a large crowd gathered to witness the play-off round. Each contestant was given one ball. The goal of each person was to score a “strike”, unmatched by fellow contestants in the same round. Steve Sykes of Sherwood Park, who had earned his path to the finals with no less than four winning strikes in the regular rounds, brought the crowd to cheers scoring his “strike” with the 33rd ball thrown in opening round. Unfazed by the pressure, Camrosian Noah Segal, who had qualified for the finals with three regular round successes, promptly matched Steve’s success with a “strike” just five tosses later. This was the first time in Bowl for the Green history that a

tie had taken place in the finals. However, fifty contestants had yet to have their chance at the win. A stunning three-way tie resulted when Jeremy Olesen aimed and threw with perfect precision near the end of the opening round. Jeremy, like the other two, was a repeat winner over the course of the regular play and had five opportunities to win in the opening play-off round. The tie-breaker proved to be more difficult. It wasn’t until round five between the trio of Sykes, Segal and Olesen that another ball would find one of the four elusive holes at the end of the course. It was thrown by veteran Bowl for the Green bowler Jeremy Olesen. His prize, a cool $1,000, is spendable at Hauser Home Hardware or any business which advertised in The Super Booster, published Tuesday, June 3. Bowl for the Green, one of the most popular events annually at Jaywalkers’ Jamboree in Camrose, is jointly sponsored by The Camrose Booster and Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre. All money taken in goes to charity. This year the recipient was Battle River Community Foundation. Members of the Foundation and volunteers helped with course set-up and teardown and also as ball retrievers and on the bowling ball sales team June 6 and 7.
