Devastating habitat loss due to expanding and more intense agricultural practices, urban sprawl, death from invasive species such as starlings and house sparrows, and an increase in the number of house cats roaming freely outdoors are all contributing factors in the annual loss of millions of song and other appealing birds. As an example, the purple martin population in Canada is declining at a rate of 1.5% every year.

5th Annual Purple Martin Festival this weekend Thanks to a focused effort from the Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society, there are now at least 133 breeding pairs of purple martins calling the City of Camrose home for a few weeks each year. This is up from an estimated five pairs over the past six or seven years! This Sunday, June 22, starting at 9:30 am, the Purple Martin Festival will take place at the Stoney Creek Centre (directly north of the ski jump). Open to all ages and to all who are interested, the day will be filled with information on attracting and enjoying purple martins. The day will feature a tour of an active martin colony, a photographic presentation from Camrose Camera Club and a talk from popular keynote speaker Kim Blomme, Alberta Wildlife Rehabilitator’s Association. More information can be found in this issue.

Children’s Miracle Network

The RE/MAX hot air balloon and a bouncy castle will be part of the entertaining activities!

Children’s Miracle Network is one of North America’s leading children’s charities, it was founded by Marie Osmond and her family with two simple goals: 1. Help as many children as possible by raising funds for children’s hospitals. 2. Keep funds in the community in which they were raised to help local children. Some 62 children enter a children’s Miracle Network Hospital for treatment every minute - that’s one child every second. Some are battling cancer. Some are suffering traumatic injury. Others require constant care. The Stollery Children’s Hospital benefits directly from proceeds raised at this tournament. Please call Loni, Natasha or Trevor for team registrations, hole sponsorships, prize donations or volunteering opportunities. It’s sure to be a fun-filled summer day in support of a good cause.

FVAS provides needed services By Dan Jensen

A total of 63 adults completed the Family Violence Action Society’s Changing Ways for men, Choices for women, Anger Management and Parenting Without Violence programs in 2013. “Of those who completed a survey 47 reported they are taking greater responsibilities for their actions and 58 reported improvements to use more positive communication and stress management skills,” said a report presented at the FVAS annual general meeting May 21. Changing Ways and Choices are 14-week psycho-educational groups offered twice a year, while Parenting Without Violence is a 10-week program offered once a year in partnership with the Camrose Family Literacy Program to parents of pre-school aged children. Anger Management is an eight-week educational program offered twice a year to adults who are seeking help with non-domestic generalized anger or rage. Overview

The Family Violence Action Society promotes early intervention, prevention, awareness and community collaboration through public education, interagency networking, and coordination of the Family Violence Response Council, which was established in 2005. “These key community networks and partnerships contribute to the advancement of the work of this society,” said the report.

The mission of the Family Violence Action Society is: “working in collaboration and partnership with others, we seek to reduce the occurrences and impact of violence in our community.” Referrals

The Family Violence Action Society received 135 external referrals and 73 calls from agency representatives. Three hundred and twenty-six people contacted the office by phone (plus 19 in person) seeking information and support. One hundred and nine calls were received from community members for other purposes. Ninety seven adults and 27 children engaged in 310 and 138 hours of counselling respectively. Group programs, supplemented with individual counselling, form the core of direct services provided by FVAS individuals and families. Women with disabilities most vulnerable

Women with disabilities are exponentially more vulnerable than other women to abuse in domestic relationships. “One such client who was unable to engage in the Choices group due to significant verbal and physical disability was supported by FVAS counselling staff through a healing journey that has spanned more than 24 months,” said the report. “Because this length of

engagement goes far beyond the mandate of our interim counselling service, the counsellor has volunteered her services for much of this time. The client, who lacked social supports, has been assisted not only with healing from brutal domestic abuse but also in attaining legal counsel to successfully address charges of animal abuse. She and her former husband were both charged years ago in another jurisdiction. These charges haunted her for years and also made it difficult to make complaints to the police, who would be obliged to assist her and put her in cells. Through a complicated process we were able to get the trial moved to Camrose. A legal aid lawyer was finally able to get the charges against her dropped, to her great relief. As she gained more perspective, she was able to let go of her emotional dependence on her ex and filed for divorce, despite repeated harassment from him and his friends. Last fall she worked up the strength to make a formal complaint to the police. The constable listened patiently for two hours to her story of abuse that spanned 20 years. The constable was quite sure that charges would be laid but no direct witness would corroborate the events. Gradually she has been able to let go of the fact she will receive no public/legal justice, but her personal healing is able to continue.” Continued on page 11

Cost overruns on performing arts centre By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council has approved another $1,032,118 in funding for the Camrose Performing Arts Centre. The total budget for the project now stands at $20,498,838. Camrose Leisure Services manager Paul Nielsen told council June 9 an additional $538,318 is needed to pay cost increases resulting from additional hoarding and heating during winter construction, scope changes to provide a more functional building, and the cost of furniture, and that an additional $425,201 is required to pay for specialty items like rigging, sound/projection, stage lighting and drapery. The theatre’s initial start up costs are pegged at $71,500. While a number of construction items were offset by the three per cent contingency, that amount was low. A five to seven per cent contingency is more typical for a design build project. City councillor Max Lindstrand said council established a low contingency for the project because it was talking about very controlled costs. “We have used up the three per cent contingency and if we approve what is being asked today, in addition to the $250,000 we approved previously, we are looking at an additional seven per cent to the total cost of the project. That concerns me that this project has grown to being $20.5 million.” Lindstrand said he realizes there is not much City council can do about the cost overruns with the project being so close to completion. “It certainly is a concern that another $1 million debenture for our City is going to be paid for many years to come.” Project manager Michael Madsen told council that scope add-ons have increased the cost of the project by 5.5 per cent since the initial negotiations, but that the actual contingency, which calls for unforeseen changes to the Clark Builders contract, increased by four per cent. “Given that this is not a pure design build and the history of how this project progressed, I am quite pleased that we are at four per cent of unforeseen contingencies,” said Madsen. Nielsen said the CPAC steering committee was made aware of the construction cost increases this past March, but the degree of the increases were not known at the time as invoices for utilities had not yet been received. “There were also a number of pending unresolved risk items that have now been resolved and there are some costs involved in the resolution of these items.” The projected cost of the specialty items is based on recent quotes received. “Once the successful firms are selected there will be a specification review process with those firms with generating cost saving in mind,” said Nielsen. “The increase can largely be attributed to working with a budget that was delivered in 2011 and since has been subject to value engineering (reduction of elements that are really needed to fully function), inflationary pressures, significant improvements in technology and some changes in scope.” Of the $425,201 for specialty items, $306,000 is for rigging alone.

Social Development Committee presents report on poverty By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose should amend zoning regulations and set aside land for affordable housing projects, offer reduced or waived property taxes to affordable housing developers, encourage employers to offer child care, lobby provincial and federal governments for better childcare funding, implement a shuttle service from high needs areas like seniors homes to the Smith Clinic and shopping facilities, and consider taxi fare subsidies for low income individuals says a social development committee poverty reduction strategy research report that was presented to committee of the whole council June 9. The report – prepared by social development committee researcher Karlie Hanoski – shows that many Camrosians spend fifty to seventy per cent of their income on housing and that

high rents are charged for sometimes dirty or poorly maintained units, forcing some parents to send their children to school hungry and seniors to choose between rent, medication and food. It also notes that child care facilities in Camrose have limited spaces, limited hours and sometimes prohibitive costs, even with the provincial subsidy monthly fees amounting to over $200 per child, and that both vehicle ownership and taxi fares are expensive, with taxi fares nearly $20 per round trip. “Many agencies in our community are working hard to alleviate the impacts of poverty and low income,” said Hanoski. “Many of these agencies, however, only have the capacity to meet immediate needs and cannot offer longer-term solutions. By working to increase access to affordable housing, coun-

cil can address some of the key barriers to moving out of poverty, council will ensure that Camrose is a better place to live for everyone.” The report states that the majority of poor Camrosians – defined as human beings who are deprived of the resources, means, choices and power to acquire and maintain self sufficiency while being able to be active participants in society – are working full time, year round. It shows that according to the 2011 National Household Survey for Camrose, the average income per tax filer is $30,625, compared to $42,570 for the rest of Alberta, and that there are 3,100 residents over the age of 15 who have after-tax income levels of $15,000 or less. Other revealing facts are that there are 2,670 adults without a high school

diploma, 770 lone parent households (590 female) and 2,380 who are employed in sales and service. “The poverty rate in Camrose has remained fairly stable over the past several years and it is agreed that it is very much an issue in our community,” said Hanoski. “The Camrose region has a significantly lower income than the Alberta average. Additionally, Camrose’s largest employment area is the sales and service sector. These jobs are often low wage. Moreover, the growth in our community has caused services to be less geographically concentrated in the downtown area and therefore harder to access.” The research done for the report included 45-minute interviews with over 41 individuals and organizations working in a broad range of sectors in Camrose, including government agencies, non profit helping

agencies, churches, schools, law enforcement, economic development and workplace training agencies and other community groups. When questioned about the extent to which they thought poverty was a problem in Camrose, most pegged the problem at around 15 per cent. Most responded that the problem of poverty could be getting worse. “The general consensus among residents was that Camrose has a significant attitude problem with poverty and social issues on the whole,” said the report. “Because poverty is hidden in our community (in that we do not have much panhandling or individuals sleeping rough) it has become an issue that is out of sight and out of mind. Additionally, there is a sense in this community that poverty is some sort of moral failure.” Continued on page 15

Alberta’s minimum wage to increase September 1 Minimum wage earners in Alberta will get a raise September 1 when the province’s two minimum wage rates increase to keep pace with rising provincial incomes and the cost of living. Alberta’s general minimum wage will increase to $10.20 from $9.95 per hour. The liquor server minimum wage will rise to $9.20 from $9.05 per hour. The increase is based on a formula used since 2011 that links the general wage rate to annual increases in Average Weekly Earnings (AWE) and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Alberta. In the past year, AWE rose 3.3 per cent in Alberta, while the CPI rose 1.4 per cent. The average of 2.3 per cent (plus rounding for easier employer calculations) translates into an increase of 25 cents per hour to the general minimum wage rate. “While Alberta has the lowest percentage of employees earning minimum wage in the country, these individuals form an important part of our workforce,” said Kyle Fawcett, Minister of Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour. “Many work in the service and retail sectors and are gaining the experience they need to succeed. These changes will give them a modest increase while keeping the viability of their employers in mind as well.”

During our province’s measles outbreak, Alberta parents are learning more about the importance of immunization – to protect their child and to protect others. And now, they are learning more about the safety of these vaccines. Alberta Health monitors and ensures the safety of all vaccines used in the province. Our data and expertise provided the basis for a University of Calgary study released June 9. This study confirms that both the measles vaccine and the measles-mumps-rubellavaricella (MMRV) vaccine are safe, and its findings will help Alberta parents make well-informed decisions about their child’s immunization and to choose which vaccine their child receives. The study found a small risk for febrile seizures among children who received the measles–mumps–rubella–varicella vaccine. The risk in Alberta is approximately one for every 2,841 doses administered. These findings are consistent with the results of similar studies conducted in the United States (one in 2,300 doses) and Germany (one in 2,747 doses). Yet, the protection

offered by both vaccines far outweighs the risk. In fact, children who are not vaccinated and contract the measles have a greater chance of having a febrile seizure than those who are immunized. Based on data from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the risk of febrile seizure from measles is approximately ten times greater than the risk associated with vaccine. This means the risk of having a febrile seizure after receiving the measles-mumpsrubella-varicella vaccine is six seizures per 10,000 doses. The risk for a child with measles is 60 to 70 seizures per 10,000 children. Because febrile seizures can accompany high fever, children should be monitored for fever after immunization, especially during days seven to ten. If your child has a fever, ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be used. If you are concerned your child is having an adverse reaction, phone Health Link for advice. Parents who do not want the combined vaccine can choose to have the vaccines separately. Alberta Health will continue to monitor the vaccines used in our province to ensure they are safe and effective. And, we will continue to share this information with Alberta parents. Sincerely, Dr. James Talbot Chief Medical Officer of Health, Alberta Dear Editor:

As the chair of the standing committee on Veterans Affairs, it is truly an honour to work each day in support of Canadian veterans. Just this week our committee released a report entitled the New Veterans Charter: Moving Forward. I am pleased that all members on the commit-

tee worked hard to provide 14 positive recommendations to the government. I encourage all Canadians and especially our veterans and their family members to read this report, found here: http://www.parl. gc.ca/Content /HOC/Committee/412/ACVA/Reports/ RP6635229/412 ACVA Rpt03 PDF/412 ACVA Rpt03-e.pdf. It is not a Conservative, Liberal or NDP report. It is a bi-partisan, unanimous committee report on the issues facing Canadian veterans and their families. And what do we call for? Above all else, we call on the government to review the medical releasing process in the Canadian Armed Forces so veterans will have a smooth transition when they arrive at Veterans Affairs. We call on the government to enshrine the Veterans Bill of Rights into legislation, giving it the full force of law. And we call on the government to streamline programs, review the Disability Award, and expand programs for veterans’ families. We recognize the majority of Canadian veterans and their families are well served under the New Veterans Charter. But we as a committee, as a government, and as a country must remain focused to help those who fall through the cracks. There are some 700,000 veterans living in Canada, of which approximately 140,000 are in receipt of a benefit. This is a big job but I believe our government is up to the challenge. And I expect our bi-partisan committee report will help move things forward so we can be confident we are doing the best we can for our injured veterans and their families. Greg Kerr, MP, West Nova

Minimum wage facts

Approximately 25,700 individuals, or 1.5 per cent of employees in Alberta, earn minimum wage, compared to 6.8 per cent nationally and 9.1 per cent in Ontario. When Alberta’s high personal exemption and low tax rates are factored in, the new general minimum wage ranks second highest in Canada, after Ontario. Government policy specifies a $1 differential between the general minimum wage and the liquor server rate to account for the tips generally earned by liquor servers. Employers and employees with questions about minimum wages can contact the Employment Standards Contact Centre at 780-427-3731, or toll-free at 1-877-427-3731 or visit www.work.alberta.ca/es.

cover the City contribution to the project and that $4,250,000 would be designated to cover any shortfall in the capital fundraising campaign, which had set a goal of $4,450,000. “We are getting close to

the $4,000,000 mark in fundraising,” said Nielsen, “but approximately $1,000,000 is committed over the next four years and will require short term funding from the City, which will be repaid as the commitments are received. There are several unknowns right now as to what the final capital fundraising amount will be, as well as the timing of the commitments. Some of them are two, three, up to four year commitments, so there will have to be a blend of short term borrowing of those amounts that we do have commitments for but maybe won’t be col-

lecting for three or four years.” A major naming donor for the project is expected to be announced for the performing arts centre project within the next few weeks. “We are getting very close but we haven’t received final approval (naming rights) of it yet,” said Mayor Norm Mayer. The construction cost increase and the cost of the specialty items will be funded first of all from capital campaign contributions in excess of the stated fundraising goal, and, if required, by debenture borrowing.

The one-time only start up costs will be funded from the general operating reserve which, after a transfer to the financial stabilization reserve, will be 2.12 per cent of 2014 operating expenditures. “Start up costs are a onetime cost that are operating in nature and not capital,” said Nielsen. “As a result they should be funded from an operating type source and not through a debenture.” Substantial completion of the Camrose Performing Arts Centre is scheduled for July 16. The grand opening is scheduled to be held in early October.

Smooth transition for CRE’s general manager By Dan Jensen

Chuck Erman

Chuck Erman is making a smooth transition into his new job as Camrose Regional Exhibition general manager. “It has been great,” said Erman, who started in April. “The staff here are very dedicated and have shown their ability to put on good shows like the Camrose Spring Classic Rodeo which has been recognized as the second best indoor rodeo in Canada behind the CFR. The fact that it was able attract a seven time world champion shows that we are at a level now where we are getting recognized by the big guys.” Erman spent the last five-and-one-half years as senior manager of events

and marketing for Sheridan College, in Ontario. “We did close to three hundred events a year in three different cities for 20,000 students,” he said. “It was everything from touring events and large scale acts to guest speakers for conferences and food shows.” Originally from Saskatchewan where his family raised purebred red angus cattle and held its own bull sale, Erman didn’t need much convincing to make the move to Camrose. “I see it as a chance to combine my passion for marketing events with an agriculture based society that produces events for the community with my passion for agriculture and living in a rural area,” he said.

“I enjoy smaller communities and I have always loved coming to Camrose.” Erman is responsible for overseeing all of the CRE’s day to day activities, catering and marketing. “Tom (Gerling, the chief executive officer of the CRE) will be looking after the big picture and working on the bigger projects then passing them on to myself once they get approved by the board,” he said. “Once that happens I will be distributing (the different job duties) to the appropriate team members.” Erman has a good handle on the upcoming Big Valley Jamboree, having served as Molson Saloon stage manager for the last 10 years. “After being in charge

of the ATB Financial family stage my first year out here I worked my way up to the saloon stage,” he said. “It was exciting because every year I would be able to fly out here and work with a great group of people. It was almost like a holiday where you come home and hang out with family for the weekend.” Erman won the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities’ entertainment programmer of the year awards in 2005 and 2012. “The awards mean a lot to me because the ones who did the voting were my peers,” he said. “They (awards) were recognition of the fact that I had been able to provide different experiences.”

Camrose Spirals enjoy successful year Submitted

The Camrose Spirals have had yet another dynamic year of activity both in the gym and in the community. “We have been overwhelmed by continuing support from the Camrose community and surrounding area,” said Camrose Spirals vice president Tammy Syrnyk. “The requests for shows and demonstrations have been numerous and this is something our athletes love to do.” The Camrose Spirals had the opportunity to work with physiotherapy students from the Augustana faculty of the University of Alberta, who participated in the Spirals’ practices and worked with the athletes to support their warm-ups, workouts and cooldowns. “ T he i mpor ta nc e of knowledge that is shared with our athletes is invaluable and is always well received,” said Syrnyk. In October, the Spirals had a specific workshop with two athletic instructors from the United States – one from Nashville and one from North Carolina. In November the Spirals hosted northern provincial workshops at Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School. “We appreciate what the staff at the school did in allowing us to utilize the facility,” said Syrnyk. “We had 70 registered athletes from across the province.” The Spirals also hosted a provincial masters competition in Camrose for approximately 90 athletes from across the province. Fifteen Camrose Spirals athletes qualified to attend the National Jump Rope competition in Abbotsford on the May long weekend. “They did us proud,” said Syrnyk. On May 25 a community show was held to honour long time coach and Spirals leader Janine Carroll.

Past and current members of the Camrose Spirals gathered at the United Church May 25 to honour long time coach and Spirals leader Janine Carroll (centre, second row). They enjoyed dessert and coffee while watching a jump rope show, and listening to songs and stories about Janine’s numerous years dedicated to the sport of jump rope on a club, community and national level.

Matthew Bogstie competed at the Canadian National Jump Rope Championships in Abbotsford May 16 to 19.

Members of the Camrose Spirals who attended nationals in May are, kneeling, Emily Bridger, left, and Maddie Jarrett, second row, left to right Hope Reimer, Marcy Jarrett, Vanessa Cha, Matthew Bridger, Anna Dahlin, Keighly Gibson, Brynne Lafrance, back row, left to right, coach Crystal Snow, Jadie Johnson Greenwald, Tashina Bogstie, Jonathan Naslund, Myles Bogstie, Taytem Syrnyk, Jodi Harrison and coach Beth Jarrett.

The Camrose Spirals have joined CAN SKIP, a sport for life program designed to help youth build on foundational jump rope

skills. The program outline allows the athletes to move at their desired pace with the support of one-on-one instruction from skilled

and knowledgeable athletic instructors. The Camrose Spirals will be accepting new members at Community Regis-

tration Night on Sept. 4. Please be there early as the recreational program is very popular and fills up quickly.

Army Cadets conduct annual inspection By Dan Jensen

Major Troy Steele inspected members of the annual ceremonial review of the 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corp at the Camrose Field House June 10.

Major Troy Steele was generous in his praise during an annual review of the 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corp at the Camrose Field House June 10. “This is a vibrant corp and the only one that was sent on the (2013) battlefield tour,” said Major Steele, who is second in command of the South Alberta Light Horse B Squadron in Edmonton. “It participated in every ceremony and service and demonstrated professionalism and leadership.” Major Steele said the Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corp in Camrose has always produced the best leaders for the cadet program and community, and that 80 per cent of the generals in the Canadian army have gone through the cadet program. “The foundation cadets receive here will serve them well for the rest of their lives.” Major Steele concluded by noting that the army cadets in Camrose are well led and well mentored. “You do us proud every time you go into the community.” Camrose Army Cadets commanding officer Capt. Alex Boos commended the cadets for the work they have put in this year and for staying with the program as long as they have in the face of pressures to leave. He also congratulated the cadets who will be attending summer training programs. “I am sure you will enjoy it and I am sure you will do well.” The 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corp is sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion, Camrose Branch 57, and is affiliated with the South Alberta Light Horse B Squadron in Edmonton. The program encourages youth to become team players as well as leaders, and challenge themselves through a series of adventure and skill based programs, including field training, marksmanship, biathlon, physical training, music training or field trips.

Sgt. A. Clarkson accepts the most outstanding cadet award from Royal Canadian Legion president Bob Burt. The award is given annually to a cadet whose overall performance is indicative of what is desired in a cadet from 3068.

Cpl. M. Boddy accepts the most outstanding NCO award from Royal Canadian Legion ladies’ auxiliary past president Jean Enger. The award is presented annually in recognition of the NCO’s leadership, mentorship and guidance.

Major Troy Steele pins a Lord Strathcona medal on the lapel of WO Duncan Brown. The medal is the highest award that can be granted to a cadet. WO Brown was singled out amongst peers for performance and community involvement.

MWO Tarin Rhynold accepts the regimental sergeant major award from Major (Ret) Bill Hart. The award is given annually to acknowledge the hard work, dedication and commitment of a RSM in the 3068 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corp.

MWO Tarin Rhynold accepts the Bob Huff Memorial Trophy for top marksmanship from Ainsley Rhynold. Bob Huff was a former weapons tech who specialized in teaching the cadets marksmanship.

Cpl. D. Pizzey accepts the most improved cadet award from Lt. Angeline Rolf. The award is presented annually to the cadet who has demonstrated the most improvement in his or her role as a member of 3068.

Second Take No Bull campaign launched Submitted

A unique opportunity to get up close and personal with a Brahma-cross steer is the focus of the Family Violence Action Society’s (FVAS) second annual fundraiser known as “Take No Bull.” The contestant raising the most funds will have the option to ride the gentle 2,800-pound Brahma-cross steer, Wild West Willie, in the Big Valley Jamboree Parade on July 31. If the winning contestant is a business owner/operator, he or she will also have opportunity to advertise his or her business on Wild West Willie in the parade. Additional prizes donated by

Panhandle Productions and Camrose Regional Exhibition will also be awarded. Supporters will raise much-needed funds for group and individual counselling services for children and adults impacted by family violence. In 2013, “Take No Bull” raised more than $5,500 to help with costs of providing counselling services for 27 children exposed to family violence. “Reaching children early can empower them to understand and express their feelings, to understand they are not responsible for the violence in their home, and to begin to heal from the trauma they have experi-

enced, says Sheralyn Dobos, program director of FVAS. “Children are also supported in learning healthy ways of dealing with their own anger and stress.” Children exposed to family violence can be traumatized in many ways. Abusive behavior need not even be directed toward them or in the same room with them. They may become fearful and anxious, believing that the world is a dangerous place. Aggression, lashing out, bullying others, or instead becoming passive and withdrawn are common responses of children exposed to abuse. Exposure to family vio-

lence affects the development of children’s brains, which in turn affects physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development. An abundance of research on the brain development of infants and children has shown that the younger a child is when exposed to domestic violence, the greater the impact on the formation of the brain. Though parents may assume infants are too young to understand what is happening in a violent event, a baby is at greatest risk of lasting harm because its rapidly developing brain is altered by the exposure to violence and fear that perme-

ates the home. These children often have difficulties forming healthy relationships, learning in school, and managing their own anger as they grow. As adults, they are more likely to become involved in abusive relationships and pass on the violence to another generation. Family Violence Action Society is a registered charity providing services to Camrose and area since 1996. It works in collaboration with other organizations to reduce the occurrence and impact of violence in our community. For more information on “Take No Bull” or family violence, contact Sheralyn at 780-672-0141.

United Church minister moves to next chapter By Murray Green Camrose United Church diaconal minister Mary Ann Pastuck is hanging up her gown at the end of June to move onto the next chapter of her life. Minister Mary Ann’s love of serving God all started when her mom made sure she went to church on time. “My mom said a Christian education was a complete education. When our oldest daughter turned three I started to bring her to church to go to Sunday school. She was baptized here, so then when she was old enough I asked if I could help out,” recalled minister Mary Ann, who didn’t know the leader was leaving. “She said ‘sure,’ handed me the book and said ‘you are leading next week.’” Mary Ann’s work in the church started on that day. “I volunteered for the children’s minister leader, children’s minister coordinator, the youth group for 16 years and then I thought about needing to do something different in my life,” she said. “I always wanted to be an accountant but I had people say to me ‘you are going into ministry, right?’ I thought you must have the wrong person. However, the seeds were planted and I started thinking. I went to the government agency that gives you an aptitude test to see what you are good at. It turns out that it suggested social work, teaching and ministry came out at the top.” St. Stephen’s College in Edmonton was offering a distance learning program at that time. “I knew that my gifts were in diaconal ministry. That meant going to Toronto for three years and, with young children, I just couldn’t do that. So when this opportunity at St. Stephen’s arose, I grabbed it. We had intense weeks twice a year in Western Canada and then could go home and do the assignments. The longest time I

Mary Ann Pastuck

was away from home was 10 days, but most were seven days. It took five years to complete but it worked out the best for me,” she said. The difference between ordained and diaconal ministry is that the ordained stream focuses on leading worship, while the diaconal stream focuses on outreach and Christian education. However, the minister usually ends up being the one and only minister in a multipoint charge, meaning he or she is responsible for everything. “When you finish theological schooling with the United Church of Canada, at the end of the process you go through a transfer of settlement. You couldn’t choose where you want to go; you had to agree to go across Canada,” Mary Ann said of her biggest test in the entire

process. “The transfer committee met to decide where you would go, but I wanted to stay here. Vacant pastorial charges would receive our resumes and the matching process would begin. I was very lucky to go to Hardisty and Hughenden for six years (1994 to 2000).” During her stay in Hardisty she was still able to draw on the mentorship of Reverends Brian Hunter and Faye Greer in Camrose. “After about six years, Faye decided to move on, so I put my name in and, fortunately, I was called back to my home church. I started on May 29, 1994, so it will be 20 years and one month in total. I don’t know where those 20 years went. It seems like only yesterday.” Mary Ann is taking a year off to relax before deciding what direction she

should take, or what projects to volunteer for. “I gave it a lot of thought. As you get older and working with children or youth, I found that I didn’t have the same energy anymore. They can stay up all night, but I can’t. There are things in ministry I still want to do, but I’m not sure what that is right now. I’m not leaving ministry totally, I’ll just be doing something different.” She wants to give the new minister time to settle in without any interference from her. “You become very attached to various members of the congregation and they are like an extended family. I can always be part of the congregation myself,” she added. “I look back at my early days in Hardisty and Hughenden and I didn’t do a lot of preaching. I looked at the messages that I shared with them and they must have had great patience. They were horrible. When you come out of theological school you have all this theory to share. I think they were very kind to me.” Mary Ann turned into a speaker who was very much enjoyed by her congregations and the community during Remembrance Day services. “I learned a lot along the way including putting myself into the sermons to give everyone perspective. Highlights also included baptisms, since I love children. Being able to be with families at weddings and for a time of comfort was good. Being able to work with some great ministers and co-workers has also been a highlight. I work better with others than on my own and Reverend Alan Richards has been so great to work alongside.” Being a diaconal minister in Hardisty and Hughenden by herself was a challenge. “It made me reach out to the congregation for support and for me to try not to do everything myself. To

get the support from the members was rewarding. The minister before me just did everything. I said, I’m sorry, but I don’t do that. Forming relationships with people is what I wanted,” she said. “You have to be flexible in a smaller centre. Brian and Faye were great mentors and working with Jim Allen taught me about the challenges and struggles of team ministry. Working with Alan has been an absolute joy. The ministers of music and with the youth have been wonderful to work with as well.” The process has gone full circle as Mary Ann has been a mentor for members of her congregation – Lee Sinclair, Helen Reed, Emma Constantine, Rob Reed, Deanna Cox and Penny Nelson – who have gone on to be ministers or part of a church team. “That has been absolutely wonderful. To watch young people grow up into ministry and to be able to say that you have been part of their faith journey – isn’t that great,” said an excited Mary Ann. “I have always been very passionate about the church. I have seen where 107 children came to church and I knew every one of their names to now where church is not a priority on Sunday mornings,” she said, of challenges that face the next minister. “We can’t sit in this building and wait for people to come to us. We may have to go where the people and children are. Maybe we need a service in the middle of the week so it fits into their lives. I’m not sure what the future looks like.” Minister Mary Ann was humbled at the thought of other people wanting to celebrate her stay at the church. “It is also a chance for me to thank everyone for their support over the years.” The celebration of her work at Camrose United Church will be held on June 22.

Our Lady of Mount Pleasant Grade 9 students, from left to right, Brooke Leroux, Cassidy Stitchman, Hannah Biswanger, Anne Mirejovsky and Kiana Siemens created a business called Life’s Lemons to sell lemonade during a session on learning about business. By Murray Green

Our Lady of Mount Pleasant (OLMP) Grade 9 students have a greater understanding of what it is like to run a business. A Lemonade Marketing Game at Max McLean Arena May 26 took students through the five marketing tools of product, price, promotion, place and people. “We were given a taste of business. We learned how to make transactions, how to get the best interest rates and how to work well with others,” said student Mackenzie Wahl. “It was both hard work and fun.” Mackenzie’s group tried to develop a colour scheme to attract visitors to their Sweet and Sour booth. “The name is kind of catchy and it goes with lemonade,” he said when asked about the name that was decided for the business venture. “We stuck to two major colours to avoid confusion. Lemonade is $1.50 and Sweet and Sour is $2. We offered a nice clean environment, a good looking booth and good lemonade.” Mackenzie expected half of the selling price to cover the cost of the product and half to be profit. “This has been a good learning experience. They made this like real life and it made us think of things that we might not have thought of, such finding a place to set up and borrowing funds from the bank,” he said. “It is good to know how everything works and what to expect by actually doing it. We didn’t even realize we were learning because it was fun.” Students learned the importance of teamwork, cultural awareness, leadership, salesmanship, negotiation, finances and marketing in a fast paced business simulation that gets everyone engaged. “The students are gaining a reinforcement of what

they are actually learning in school in Grade 9. They learn marketing and this reinforces it and makes it real to them. They had to go to a banker who drilled them on finding collateral and finding the best interest rates. They gained reality. The students learned business, but also life skills when they had to have interviews for a commercial,” said Rural Alberta Business Centre Camrose (RABC) manager, Louise Jones. The idea was to convey the message that business is a career choice. “In Grade 9, the students are starting to think about becoming a doctor, lawyer or vet and this offers an avenue of thinking about starting their own business,” Louise added. “We (RABC) want to encourage business and it starts with young people. We want to present them with an option for a career path. We want to inspire them and it is a long term future program for us.” The program was made possible through RABC along with generous sponsorship from Community Futures ECA, The City of Camrose, BRAED, ATB Business and Agriculture, Vision Credit Union, Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty and the Camrose Kodiaks. The objective of the game is simple: to set up, in a limited time and with only $100 play money, the most dynamic and creative lemonade stand possible. “In this game, everyone’s a winner. Every participant profits from a real-life learning experience,” said Louise. The group called Life’s Lemons won the challenge and $200 from the Camrose Kodiaks. More information on the RABC and other events can be found on the website www. camrosebusinesscentre.com.

Report on poverty presentation Continued from page 4

Many interviewees mentioned that when doing presentations to community groups, individuals are often shocked at the degree to which some Camrosians are struggling. “There is a general attitude among the greater Camrose community,” said the report, “that we are a pristine retirement community and we look after our own.” Most of the respondents agreed that the services they provide are band-aid and do

not serve to springboard their clients out of poverty. “With the exception of groups like Habitat for Humanity, whose housing first approach can stabilize individuals to allow them to build sustainable futures,” said the report, “almost all services on offer in Camrose are reactive rather than pro active.” Key literature for the report was provided by Sherri Torjman, vice president of the Caledon Institute of Social Policy, who believes the

most effective strategies for addressing poverty are those which build individual capacity to lift themselves up and build sustainable futures for themselves and their families. “Torjman describes affordable housing as ensuring everyone has a safe, clean roof over their heads which is affordable enough for them to meet their other daily needs (food, household goods, transportation),” states the report.

Youth enter triathlon

CAMROSE

By Murray Green

The Camrose Junior Vikings triathlon team held an event at the Camrose Aquatic Centre and sports fields on May 24 so youth could help monitor their progress. Triathlon is a “tri” sport combining the three sports of swimming, cycling and running into one distance race. About 30 triathletes competed, with the younger athletes competing in shorter distances of a 50 meter swim, 2.5 kilometre bike and a one km run. The older athletes competed in longer distances of a 250 meter swim, 5 km bike and 2 km run. “Everyone had fun. The focus of the Junior Vikings triathlon team is to provide a safe, fun, healthy, positive sport experience for Camrose region youth,” said Les Parsons, one of the coaches. “Everyone was a winner because everyone finished. The goal of our team is participation, with a focus on personal best improvement, and not on comparing the results of competition against other athletes.” The goal is to have everyone improve. “On Aug. 23, at the end of our triathlon season, we will be repeating the exact same race course as Saturday so that our athletes can measure their personal performance improvement over the spring and summer. This is a positive motivation for our young athletes, during our weekly swimming-bikingrunning practises on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays after school,” added Les. This is the second year of the triathlon program, thanks to the energetic, enthusiastic leadership and organization of head coach Mark Eggink. He leads the team of volunteer parent coaches who offer a dynamic triathlon program that includes a variety of training adventures. The Junior Vikings have a busy schedule for the next few weeks, including “Kids of Steel Triathlons” on June 7 in Vegreville, June 15 in Vermilion, and an overnight potluck supper and campfire tent camping experience on June 20 at the Camrose Biathlon Range. In the summer, they will compete in other regional triathlons in Devon and Miquelon Lake. “Coach Mark was the key leader to develop our Vikings triathlon team last summer, as part of our Camrose Ski Club so that our Junior Vikings cross-country ski team athletes could have a summer sport to cross-train for skiing.

joined our Vikings team this year at our first registration night in March, including athletes from Camrose, Bawlf, Bashaw and Tofield,” said Les. “We had to limit registrations to 33 youth because of the coaching capacity of our volunteer parent coaches and the number of youth who we can accommodate in the swimming pool.”

Any parents in the Camrose region who have children interested in taking part in our Vikings triathlon program next summer and are willing to help volunteer to coach are encouraged to join in on some of the team’s practises this spring and summer to develop their coaching skills.

Students cheer as vice-principal receives colour By Dan Jensen

It was pay-up time for the vice-principal of Bawlf School. Stacey Dunnigan had her hair dyed green June 11 as the final act of a spiritfilled fundraiser for the new Bawlf School building that will be opened in time for the start of the new school year. Dunnigan promised Bawlf students that she would dye her hair the colour of their choosing if they raised $5,000 for the purchase of extra essential items like sound systems, score clocks, landscaping and playground supplies which are not covered by the new school funding. The students sold baking, used books, dvds, plants and much more over a period of six weeks. The Grade 3 class, which raised $4,000, had the honour of selecting the colour. “They raised the roof when they heard their school was victorious,” said Battle River School Division communications coordinator Diane Hutchinson. The $5,000 raised by the students was matched by the community groups and businesses, resulting in a total donation of $20,000. The Bawlf Education Support Team is working to raise $180,000 for the school.

Bawlf students Kassidy Baumle, left, and Halley Hay admire the green locks of their vice principal. Below: Bawlf students cheered when they saw Dunnigan after she had her hair dyed. Holly Smith, from Evolve Style Counsel, puts the finishing touches on Dunnigan’s new look.

Fifth annual purple martin festival June 22 News release from Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society

Purple martin populations in Canada have declined an average of 1.5 per cent per year since 1970, according to Environment Canada. Nevertheless, there are pockets of stability and better still – growth in parts of central Alberta, which is at the northernmost edge of the purple martin’s range. Local interest in purple martins in Camrose has resulting in an ever-increasing number of landlords erecting and maintaining condominium-styled martin houses through the community and surrounding area. These houses provide safe haven for the birds, which migrate each May and June from South America to the area, to breed and fledge their young. The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society, in addition to promoting wildlife and greenspace conservation in the area, has taken a lead role in the resurgence of purple martins, locally. With funding from City of Camrose, Camrose Rotary Club, Camrose and District Fish and Game Association, Alberta Conservation Association, Ross AgriSupplies and Kela Graphics, the CWSS conducts an annual census of martins. The

By placing GPS bands on purple martins researchers are able to keep track of where they fly in the winter.

number of pairs has risen from eight to 133 in 2013. Five years ago, the Society and interested martin lovers launched the first annual Purple Martin Festival in Camrose, in an effort to provide an abundance of valuable information on the fascinating, satisfying and honorable hobby. In the past two years, martin enthusiasts from Camrose and the Ellis Bird Farm, near Lacombe, have taken part in a joint pur-

ple martin research project launched by the Purple Martin Conservation Association and York University. Birds in both areas were briefly captured and outfitted with lightweight, hightech geolocators which, upon retrieval, are analyzed by scientists, to determine the migration timeline, route and potential clues about change in habitat, food sources or climate. On June 13, a martin team led by Dr. Glen

Hvenegaard, University of Alberta, Augustana Campus, recovered the first of a series of birds which had been outfitted with a lightlevel sensitivity geolocator the summer prior in Camrose. An intensive hunt is currently on for martins wearing the devices which were installed last summer (birds are banded on their right leg). The information gleaned from the device on the purple martin, affectionately named Ida, was fascinating. Ida left Camrose on Aug. 4. She made a direct flight to northern Iowa. This leg of her trip took four days. She stayed in Iowa for 19 days. On Aug. 27, Ida sped south. She arrived west of the Gulf of Mexico just two days later. For reasons not yet understood, she stayed in the Yucatan region for about one month (Sept. 2 to Oct. 5). On Oct. 5, she took set forth on another long journey through Central America, making stops in Columbia Oct. 16 to 21 and Venezuela Oct. 24 to 29. Ida spent her winter (Nov. 6 to April 29) at three different roosting locations in Brazil. Spring migration, back to Camrose, for Ida began on May 1. She rocketed back to

her summer breeding site, 22,000 km/13,670 miles in just 15 days, pausing only briefly for one day in Guatemala. On average Ida flew a remarkable 700 kilometres per day! On Sunday, June 22, at Stoney Creek Centre, 5320-40 Avenue, Camrose 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., the fifth annual Purple Martin Festival will take place. It’s a day not to be missed. More information will be released pertaining to purple martins from the Camrose area and Ellis Bird Farm successfully tracked in the current, scientific geolocator project. In addition, the day will be filled with purple martin management tips, workshops for aspiring and experienced martin landlords, activities for young children, a tour to a local martin colony in Camrose, a photographic presentation by the Camrose Camera Club (beauty and diversity of wildlife of the area), exhibitor booths, and a captivating and popular keynote speaker – Kim Blomme (Alberta Wildlife Rehabilitator’s Association). For more information or to register in advance, visit the Tourism Camrose website www.tourismcamrose. com. Or call Dr. Glen Hvenegaard 780-679-6100 or Ron Pilger 780-679-7070.

Torch run team carries flame into opening ceremonies By Murray Green Camrose Police Service officer Const. Matt Wilton and Camrose Special Olympics athlete George “Rocky” Hagel will have the honour of bringing the torch into the stadium during the opening ceremonies of the Canada Summer Games in Vancouver on July 8. “We had to apply to the Law Enforcement Torch Run Alberta first, along with Special Olympics Alberta. It was a selection process of one law enforcement officer and an athlete as a team,” explained Const. Wilton. “We were successful and it was based on how involved the officer was and how motivated the athlete is. We wanted to pick somebody that could run really well and represent the athletes to the best of (his or her) ability. Rocky fit that bill, so he was picked.” When Matthew and Rocky first heard they had been selected to be involved in the Law Enforcement Torch Run they were excited. “It feels awesome and it will be a big accomplishment in my life,” said Rocky. “We run about four kilometres per day.” The distance will be between four and eight km, depending on which shift they are running. “We will run for three days through communities on the lower mainland and on the fourth day it will be during the opening ceremonies,” said Const. Wilton. “We will finish by bringing the torch into the national Games for the opening ceremonies.” The torch is often referred to the Flame of Hope and law enforcement

agencies are the guardians of the flame. “It means a lot to the officers to run with the torch and bring it into the Games as a symbol of hope,” added Const. Wilton. “The Flame of Hope is the centrepiece of the ceremonies and we are lucky to be part of the team that brings the torch in.” Rocky wasn’t expecting to be a part of the ceremonies. “It’s a big honour to do this and be part of the opening ceremonies. I love running and did a lot in school during track and field,” he said. “Rocky has been doing a lot running and fitness to prepare for the Torch Run. Every sport I’ve been involved with, I see Rocky’s face there and he certainly is a very active participant. He takes his sports seriously,” said Const. Wilton. Rocky is part of the Camrose Cardinals softball team that just missed going to the Games. “This gives me another opportunity to go to the Games. Maybe next time it will be part of the Cardinals team,” he said. The runner is also taking his position in the Torch Run seriously. “I eat healthy and run every day. I run three times a day around my block,” said Rocky. He tracks his activities in a notebook and stays on a training schedule. He is also involved in the Special Olympics Tuesday walk and run around the Stoney Creek Centre. Part of the selection process for finding an athlete to take part in the Torch Run was based on his or her ability to be an ambassador for Special Olympics. “Not only will we be run-

ning, but we will be going into the communities and giving speeches and talking about our experiences with Special Olympics,” said Const. Wilton. Rocky has advice for athletes. “Always work hard and try your best. I always did that when I was younger running with my dad. Try your best as everything that you do,” he said. “I tell people to come out and try different sports and see if you like it. If you do, great. If not, try another sport in Special Olympics.” Rocky is also willing to help others. “I want to move into more of a leadership role and help other athletes. I started as a poor sport, but I have changed. Being around good people, such as Matt, has changed me. (Playing both fun and competitive sports) is meaningful to me because I can be a leader. I want others to be leaders and not just me,” he added. Celebration A send off party for the runners, Camrose’s 5-pin bowling associate coach Ginger Matthews and nine athletes will be held on July 2 at 1 p.m. A ceremony will take place in Rudy Swanson Park at soccer field number one (44 Avenue and 53 Street) south of the Camrose Community Centre. Special Olympics in Camrose is proud to be sending one swimmer, Marianne Collinge and eight 5-pin bowling athletes, Brad Lyseng, Nicole Wegren, Chris Sutter, Jessica Enns, Anthony Lechman, Les Knudsen, James McGillivray and Candace Ames to the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Vancouver from July 8 to 12.

Commemoration and celebration with Canada Day essay contest By Ardythe Harder

This year, as every year, we are celebrating an anniversary on July 1. The event that we have decided, as a nation, to celebrate is the declaration of confederation. This was a day that officially created the country of Canada, but nationbuilding is a long process. There were many significant dates both before and after July 1, 1867 that created “...our home and native land.” This year is the 150th anniversary of the 1864 conferences. These were two conferences, first in Charlottetown and then in Quebec, that resulted in drafting the first constitution of Canada. These conferences were the beginning of the process that led to confederation. During our celebration of Canada this year we are taking the time to commemorate the process that led to confederation and, ultimately, to where we are now. Many of us like Canada Day because of the festive celebrations with food, friends, fireworks, and fun. Our Canada Days now continue the tradition that was alive and well in 1864; no one can be expected to create a country without nightly celebration! Before we do too much partying, though, Canada Day gives us a reason to pause and consider what our nation meant to them, and what it means to us. As a part of our celebrations this year, we invite you to join our essay contest in recognition of this anniversary. The topic is: “The stage was set for confederation; what is our role now?” We encourage entries from anyone who is interested, be they young or young-at-heart. Our panel of judges will select the most outstanding, and prizes will be awarded in three categories: Grades 4 to 7, Grades 8 to 12, and “Grade life” (adults). The essays should be maximum 500 words, and can be submitted electronically to jcherry@camrose.ca with the subject “Canada Day Essay Contest” no later than June 24. Please include a title page with your name, the title of the essay, and what category you are entering. Once the work is done, we invite you to join our party at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum on July 1. Here you will be able to read some of the excellent submissions, hear the announcement of the winning essays, and party like it’s 1864.

Alexander Norbert Lorenz

Jean Signe Roth

November 16, 1925 – June 6, 2014

October 15, 1931 – June 9, 2014

Alex Lorenz, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away on Friday, June 6, 2014 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose, AB at the age of 88 years. Alex was born in Bodo, AB on November 16, 1925 to Leo and Rose (Reinhart) Lorenz. He was the oldest of their three children. In 1935, Leo and Rose moved their young family from Bodo to Strome. Alex worked on the family farm until 1947 when he purchased three quarters of land just south of Strome, and began his own farming career. But the most important event of 1947 was that he married Lorraine Niehaus on August 6, 1947. This marriage would span the next 67 years. Together, they raised their family of six children – five boys and one girl. The farm was expanded over the years, and Alex was kept busy raising children, crops and livestock. During this time, he enjoyed curling, the fellowship of Knights of Columbus and visiting family and friends in the neighbourhood. After 50 years of being active on the farm and with failing health, Alex and Lorraine rented out the farm and moved from Strome to a condo in Camrose. In 2011, Alex was no longer able to manage on his own and took up residence in a nursing home in Camrose where he resided until his passing. Left to cherish in his memory are his loving wife Lorraine; his children Dwayne (Bobbie), Dwight (Marilyn), Donald (Cheryl), Gerry (Doris), Terry (Freddie) and Audrey Hansen; 14 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Alex is also survived by his sister Clare Vaugeois and sister-in law Velna Lorenz. He was predeceased by his father Leo, his mother Rose, and his brother Norbert. His presence will be sadly missed by family and friends. Thank you for your comfort and support. A public visitation was held on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel (4817-51 Avenue, Camrose, AB). A Memorial Mass was celebrated on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church (5010-48A Avenue, Camrose, AB) with Rev. Larry Pederson as celebrant. Inurnment has taken place in the Strome Catholic Cemetery. Memorial donations are gratefully accepted to The Heart & Stroke Foundation or to a charity of one’s choice.

Jean was born October 15, 1931 in Galahad and passed away suddenly on June 9, 2014 in Camrose. She is survived by her husband Irvin; son Rick (Corinne); five grandchildren Erin Fitzgerald and her children Maddox and Reid, Brandin Lemmon, Christine (Tyler) Olson and their children Jordyn, Carter, and Cooper, Jackie (Brad) Spurrell and their son Tristan, and Amanda (Kevin) Chilton and their daughters Kenzie and Gracie. She is also survived by her son-in-law Jim (Teena) Aiken. She was predeceased by her daughter Debby Aiken. Jean grew up farming in Galahad. She met Irvin and they married on November 27, 1953. After marriage, they moved around Alberta following work in the oil patch. They returned to Forestburg in 1962 where they farmed and raised their family. Jean held jobs at Galahad Hospital as well as the hardware store and post office in Forestburg. She moved to Red Deer in 1999 upon retirement, and finally to Camrose. Jean was happy when she was busy. In her free time, she compiled family history and collected coins. She enjoyed gardening and camping, and trips to the mountains and music festivals were something to which she looked forward. Jean was the matriarch of the family, best described as understanding, hard working, organized, and a caregiver. Your comfort and support are greatly appreciated. A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, June 16, 2014 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Mary Ann Pastuck officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Forestburg Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Alberta Cancer Foundation, St. Mary’s Palliative Care, or to the Hospice Society of Camrose and District.

How it all began – the tale of two sister cities By Brenda Knull, BRSD teacher

Did you know that the City of Camrose has four different sister cities? Well, it’s true! You might be wondering what exactly constitutes a sister city. It’s a general term given to municipalities which have decided to formalize their friendly relations. These agreements most often occur between cities that are similar in such characteristics as size, culture, geography, and industry. Camrose has agreements with domestic and international cities. The oldest sister city relationship goes back to 1974. This

is when Warwick, Australia, became Camrose’s first sister city. In 1978 and 1980 respectively, Camrose united with Chicoutimi, Quebec and Kentville, Nova Scotia. Camrose and Kamifurano, Japan signed an agreement on September 5, 1985. More recently, Camrose is getting ready to become sister cities with Yichun, China. The Camrose/Japan Friendship Society was formed in 1999 and since that time, it has been instrumental in fostering the relationship between the two communities. When people hear that I’m not only a teacher from Canada

but a teacher who is here to teach English as part of a sister city arrangement, their faces perk up and they seem honoured to have me. I’m the eleventh person from the Camrose area to live and teach English in Kamifurano. The first person came in 1992. That was a different time when online shopping and Skype weren’t the norm. The people that have lived here have done so for an average of two years. I came across a Kamifurano English teacher handbook when I moved into my house last summer. It tells the stories of the people who came before me. It contains everything

from how to use the appliances, read household bills, and there are letters that describe each person’s journey. The book is a history piece that documents how people’s lives have changed as a result of living here. It gave me a sense of connectedness to read it since we’ve all shared the experience of living not only in Kamifurano but in the same very house! I believe that being part of a sister city can be beneficial for each community involved. I have met numerous people who had a positive experience with an English teacher who once taught them or that

they worked with. I have heard the fondness in their voices when they talk about those people. It’s a great way to teach citizens about another culture and way of life too. There have been many cultural exchanges over the years where students and adults have travelled to each other’s community. A group consisting of the superintendent, members of the Camrose/ Japan Friendship Society, teachers, chaperons, and students visited Camrose during July 2013. Some people have shared their experiences and some of their pictures with me. Continued on page 28

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, June 17, 2014 – Page 25

Joni Lynn Bailey Joni Lynn Bailey was born on August 28, 1968. She was adopted as an infant by Donald and Melva Bailey of Camrose, fulfilling their dream of having a little girl to raise along with their two young boys, Bob and Jeff. Joni had an active and happy childhood – playing road hockey with her brothers, riding her bike and playing in the neighborhood playgrounds with the other children. She was always a tomboy, and she could hold her own with any of the boys at school. As Joni grew, it became apparent that she had a lot of natural ability in a number of areas. She loved track and field, skating and, later, roller-skating. She spent many winter days playing goal while her big brothers fired wrist shots at her with a frozen tennis ball! Not only was she a budding athlete, she was also a strong student academically, being placed in the gifted math class. In addition, she showed a lot of promise in music. Most of all, Joni was an outgoing and friendly person. One former teacher of Joni’s recalls that Joni was one of the most well-liked students she had ever taught. Unfortunately, it was during these developmental years that Joni began to exhibit unexplained behaviors. During this period of her life, Joni gave birth to her first child, a boy, whom she gave up for adoption. This was a very difficult decision, but one she knew was the right choice, given her circumstances. It would later be determined that Joni was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Sadly, this terrible illness would take its toll on Joni for the rest of her life. Although the condition would forever alter her life, Joni exhibited the courage to go on when it might have often have seemed easier to give up. In 1991, Joni gave birth to her second child, whom she named P.J. She loved P.J. to the ends of the earth, but due to her illness, she was simply unable to care for him. As a result, baby P.J. was welcomed with open arms to the home of Bob and Val who, along with their girls Brittany and Halley, felt blessed to make him part of their family. P.J. inherited his biological mom’s good nature and likeable demeanor. Joni’s promise and great potential was realized in P.J. Joni was very proud of P.J., and she always enjoyed hearing of his exploits, although in her mind, he always remained the little boy she used to visit when she lived in Camrose. Joni spent much of her early adult years living at home with her Mom. Melva worked tirelessly to help Joni in any way she could, even spearheading the establishment of the local chapter of the Schizophrenia Society. As more time passed, Joni spent periods living in group homes in Red Deer and finally in Edmonton. The staff at her Edmonton group home and her social worker shared that Joni inspired friendship, love and loyalty among them. She was seen as cheerful, kind and generous. While our contact with Joni was limited in recent years, and often complicated by her illness, we are grateful that she was able to find support and friendship with her caregivers and co-residents. We wish our relationship with Joni as an adult had been closer, and we will always love and miss our little sister. Joni leaves to mourn her passing her brothers Bob (Val) and Jeff (Maureen); nieces Brittany (Mike) and Halley; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She was predeceased by her parents Don and Melva; niece Carling Mary Bailey; and her beloved son P.J. “Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of but stigma and bias shame us all.” (Bill Clinton) A Funeral Service was held on Saturday, June 14, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. from Camrose United Church (4829-50 Street, Camrose, AB) with Mary Ann Pastuck officiating. Interment followed in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to The P.J. Bailey Fund c/o Battle River Community Foundation.

Ram 1500 Motor Trend’s 2014 Truck of the Year

Dwayne Sharkey By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Ram 1500 has once again been named Motor Trend magazine’s Truck of the Year. Ram 1500 was one of nine truck of the year contenders that were put through an extensive battery of testing designed to evaluate almost virtually aspect of the vehicle, including braking, acceleration, lateral grip, cornering, towing, payload and highway and real world replication. “For 2014 we had a large and highly competitive field of contenders for Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year,” said Edward Loh, editor in chief of Motor Trend. “At the end of the day, though, the Ram 1500 quickly rose to the top.” Performance The new 3.0-liter EcoDiesel 24-valve V-6 produces 240 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque more efficiently than all V-6 gasoline engines in the half-ton category. “The new EcoDiesel engine answers a long-time consumer demand and Ram is the only manufacturer to offer it,” said Reid Bigland, president and CEO, Ram Truck Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. The 3.6-liter Pentastar

V-6 engine (Ward’s 10 Best Engines Award three years in a row) with variable-valve timing offers 305 horsepower, 269 lb.-ft. of torque. For 2014, the Pentastar V-6 equipped Ram 1500 also offers best-in-class base engine towing capability at 7,450 pounds. The Pentastar V-6 features 42 percent more horsepower and 13 percent more torque when compared to the previous 3.7-liter V-6 powertrain. The legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 with fuel-saving cylinder shut-off and VVT provides 395 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque. The Ram 1500’s eightspeed transmissions features more than 40 individual shift maps for very specific conditions. Intelligent software takes into account variables including engine torque gradients, kick down events, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, hill detection, friction detection and downshift detection. Fuel economy The 2014 Ram 1500 delivers best-in-class fuel economy with a truckload of pioneering, fuel-saving systems including a stop-start system, thermal management system, pulse-width modulation and active aerodynamics with grille shutters and air suspension.

Pulse-width modulation (PWM) not only eliminates unnecessary load on the alternator but also improves the durability of benefitting systems. Technology The Ram 1500 is equipped with a front park assist system that uses four sensors located on the front bumper. The bezel-less, integrated sensors sequentially send out ultrasonic waves when the vehicle is driven forward at low speeds that can detect objects as far away as 47.2 inches. The sending sensor and adjacent sensors pick up the echo of a signal when it bounces off an object. Triangulation is used to determine relative distance, based on elapsed time between the outgoing signal and its return. Readouts located in the cluster display (and audible chimes) notify the driver of front/rear object proximity. The variable displacement compressor (VDC) automatically varies its pumping capacity to meet air conditioning demands rather than working in an on/off fashion. As a result, the variable displacement compressor lessens loads on the engine and helps to maintain a consistent cockpit temperature. The technology also reduces related

noise and vibration annoyances. When the interior cabin temperature is higher than what’s desired (outside the automatic temperature control setting), the VDC increases refrigeration capacity until the desired temperature is reached. Once the temperature is reached, the VDC automatically reduces its capacity to maintain the desired temperature rather than shutting off completely. Design Ram 1500 offers 12 different colors, including two new shades: Blue Streak and Granite Crystal; available in a monotone and/ or two-tone depending on the model. Other colors include: Black Gold Pearl, Copperhead Pearl, Maximum Steel Metallic, Prairie Pearl and Western Brown Pearl are all available in a monotone and/or two-tone, depending on the model. Warranty The 2014 Ram 1500 is backed with a five-year /100,000-km Powertrain Limited Warranty. The powertrain-limited warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair a covered powertrain component – engine, transmission and drive system. Coverage

also includes free towing to the nearest Ram dealer, if necessary. The warranty also is transferable allowing customers who sell their truck during the warranty period, to pass the coverage onto the new owner. The standard three-year / 60,000-km Basic Limited Warranty provides bumperto-bumper coverage for the Ram 1500, from the body to the electrical system. Interior With points of contact a priority, premium materials, colours and designs are now on all four doors. Soft-touch materials enhance armrests and upper bolsters with expanded use of premium surfaces. The centre console for both the bucket and 40-2040 bench seat configurations is made for efficient storage. The bench seat design includes three new cup holders built into the console lid that features a washable rubber bellow lining, allowing storage for most cup sizes, as well as other personal items. You can see the new Dodge Ram 1500s at Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 east, Camrose. Phone 780672-2476 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Huntington Society increases awareness By Dan Jensen

Alheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, schizophrenia and parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all rolled into one. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how some people describe Huntingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disease disorder that affects muscle coordination and leads to both cognitive decline and psychiatric problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is passed genetically,â&#x20AC;? explained Camrose Huntington Society president Rob Campbell, whose mother died from complications associated with the disease and now has a 50 per cent chance of being diagnosed with the disease in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I am tested positive for HD and I get sick some day my three kids have a 50 per cent chance of getting the disease as well.â&#x20AC;? If Rob is diagnosed as gene negative there is no chance that any of his kids can get the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is basically like a broken chain where it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be passed on anymore,â&#x20AC;? said Rob. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If my brother is gene negative and he never gets the disease it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be passed on to his kids either.â&#x20AC;? Huntingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease affects one in every 7,000 Canadians. Symptoms including emotional turmoil

(depression, apathy, irritability, anxiety, obsessive behaviour), cognitive loss (inability to focus, plan, recall or make decisions) and physical deterioration (weight loss, involuntary movements, diminished coordination) usually appear between the ages of 30 and 45, but the disease can first appear in children as young as five, or in adults in their 70s. About six per cent of cases start before the age of 21 years with an akinetic-rigid syndrome; they progress faster and vary slightly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mother was diagnosed when she was in her late 30s and she passed away at around the age of 50, but she went on with life every day,â&#x20AC;? said Rob. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had two kids, a full family, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss out on anything when we were growing up. She was one of the most brave people I have ever met.â&#x20AC;? In spite of the fact there are no treatments at the moment that will slow down or stop the disease in humans, the hope for a meaningful treatment has never been more real. In recent years basic research has dramatically increased knowledge of HD and vari-

Continued from page 24 There is something unique about being overseas and then suddenly coming across an artifact that tells you about Camrose. It gives you a nice sense of home when you are far from it. In Kamifurano there is a display case filled with mementos which include: agreement documents, plaques, a dream catcher, commemorative plates, pins, and artwork. There are three paintings of Mirror Lake in the City Hall building. I find it heartwarming that people in town hold these items proudly. In some small way, I believe that Camrose has a positive impact on this town and I feel the same for what Kamifurano provides to Camrose. Sister province Not only are Camrose and Kamifurano sister cities but Alberta has a special relationship with Hokkaido as well. On October 17, 1980, Hokkaido formally became Alberta’s sister province. As you can see the relationship between Alberta and Hokkaido is long standing and extensive. I have met other English teachers who are living on the island that have a sister city connection. These people are representing communities such as Wetaskiwin and Stony Plain. The following Alberta communities also have a sister city in Hokkaido: Jasper, Banff, Taber, Rocky Mountain House, Lacombe, Slave Lake, Canmore, Stettler, Barrhead, Hanna, Whitecourt, Hinton, Gibbons, Crowsnest Pass, Devon, Lethbridge, and Didsbury (as of December 2010).

Review of foreign workers program could have negative consequences By Thomas A. Lukaszuk, Minister of Alberta Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour

The federal government has stopped foreign workers coming to Canada to work in the food service sector while it conducts a review. I believe that this decision, particularly if the review stretches into months, will have a negative impact on our communities and our province. The Government of Alberta agrees with the Government of Canada on a number of important points. Canadians and Albertans must have first access to all

jobs here, and those who work must be given every opportunity to do so. The federal Temporary Foreign Worker program has rules, and it is important that they be followed. There have been some recent incidents in the food services sector, and those situations should be dealt with. However, we have concerns about the federal moratorium. First, it is unfair to freeze an entire sector because there are problems with a few players. Second, Alberta’s economy is strong. Unemployment here is below five per cent, which is signifi-

cantly lower than in other parts of the country. There are employers who cannot find people, and there are people who cannot find jobs. Alberta has job fairs, websites and programs for both groups. Food services companies, unions, and workers participate in them, yet positions remain open. When jobs remain unfilled, workers are recruited from other sectors, customer service declines, or Canadians already on staff lose shifts or jobs when restaurants close or reduce their hours. None of these results

are good for the quality of life in rural communities. There are ways for the federal government to deal with compliance problems in its TFW program. There are also ways to improve Canada’s immigration program, so that we can ensure TFWs are “permanent foreign workers” who become a permanent part of our workforce and our neighbourhoods. I came to Canada as a child when my parents emigrated from then-communist Poland. When I arrived here, I thought we had landed in paradise because

there seemed to be so many opportunities for our family. Many of the temporary foreign workers here today have that same sense of optimism about the communities where they are working. They know that this province rewards those who work hard, and they are proud to be part of one of the world’s most exciting regions. Albertans know that our province is a busy, growing, dynamic place. It is unfortunate that the federal government is choosing to compromise the people who are helping make that growth possible.

Busse receives exemplary award By Murray Green You are in good hands with Camrose EMS paramedic Rick Busse. The local emergency worker received one of the highest honours in Alberta – the Emergency Medical Services Exemplary Services Medal – on May 13. The medal recognizes EMS practitioners for meeting nationally adopted standards. “The criteria (for the medal) is fairly difficult to meet because it is based upon years of service, involvement in various committees, professional development, union involvement and general advancement of the Profession of Emergency Medical Services,” said Rick. The application is submitted by peers and then reviewed by members of the Alberta College of Paramedics, Alberta Health and Wellness, and members of the Governor General’s Chancellory. “This year is my 23rd year in the profession and I was lucky enough to be recognized by my current colleagues. I was nominated for the award by a few of my co-workers last summer,” explained Rick. “During my time in EMS, I have worked in remote, rural and urban environments. I have worked on ground ambulances, spent 11 years working on an air ambulance, and assisted in some industrial settings.” Rich has actively participated in various union roles (vice-president and secretary roles, with direct involvement in collective bargaining). He spent two and a half

years developing and designing the initial version of the provincial Medical Control Protocols. “I have been on various committees (Alberta Clinician Council and Pandemic Research Council) and have participated in various round-table discussions with Alberta Health Services. I spent three years working as a Team Lead for AHS,” he added. Rick has been a member in good standing with the Alberta College of Paramedics and has had numerous EMT and paramedic stu-

dents train under his direction. “For the 2014 award presentation, I have heard the Chancellory group had 80 nominations,” he said. “I was selected as one of only three new medal award recipients for this year (there were five others that received their five and 10 year bar awards associated with a previous award selection).” The award was presented on behalf of the Governor General of Canada by Alberta Lieutenant Governor Donald S. Ethel.

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.

Arts Centre’s photovoltaic array to be powered up Friday By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Performing Arts Centre’s photovoltaic array will be powered up for the first time at 10 a.m. this Friday, June 20. “This is a milestone in the construction process, and means we are very close to substantial completion,” said Performing Arts Centre patron services manager Tanya Pattullo. The photovoltaic array is the largest integrated array in Canada. Along with other features incorporated into the building, it will help reduce operating costs and contribute to environmental efficiency. The official “turning on” will be held in the centre’s Mayer Community Hall. “Camrose and area residents will be interested to learn how this facility will be operating green, the significance of the building in architectural terms, and the savings projected for the operating of the facility,” said Pattullo. “And who doesn’t want to be part of a historic event.”

Residents enter 100 km diet On Thursday, June 12, Camrose residents attended the CWSS’s second event, the Camrose 100km Diet. Takota Cohen from the Grass Roots Family Farm spoke on forest gardening and the importance of connecting the community to its food.

The idea for the forest garden came about when Cohen asked himself if gardens could be built the way nature intended them, with perennial crops that grow in harmony with each other. Cohen highlighted the benefits of perennial crops, such

as a higher caloric production, lesser need for fertilization, and higher nutrient density of crops. He also highlighted the importance of pollinators, and how his farm has been designed to attract pollinators throughout the growing season. Continued on page 36

Students share culture Central Agencies Home of the Week experiences with Peru Great home, ideal location

By Murray Green

Six students from Cornerstone Christian Academy went to Peru, South America to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and to see how another country’s culture. “Every two years the school goes on a mission trip. Two years ago some high school students went to Haiti and this year I had the opportunity to be on the mission team,” said Grade 10 student Tod Vandenberg. The students went to Peru from April 11 to 21 during the spring-Easter break. “We were involved in events such as Sunday School, street ministries and some performances in parks for people who walked by to see it,” said Tod. “The main purpose is to plant seeds of who God is in people so they can see a little bit of it.” The students shared their message through the arts. “We used drama, singing, creative movement and chalk art. We were able to share our program at various churches, plazas and a school,” said principal Steve Ioanidis. One particular area called the dump was especially moving. “At the dump (landfill) people work to recycle materials out of the garbage,” said Ioanidis. “They work long hours in this filthy environment for very little income.

One day we were able to hand out fruit to these workers as well as try and encourage them. “On another day, we played with the children in that community that are left to fend for themselves as the parents go to their recycling work. It was a very poor area and left us with a sense that we have so much here in Canada. Overall, we met some amazing people that are doing good work to help the less fortunate in Trujillo, Peru the city we visited. The students came away with a sense of the culture in Peru, a love of the people, and an appreciation for what we have in Canada. It was a life changing experience.” “Going to Peru was pretty exciting. The food was different and they would have a big lunch and then a small supper,” said Tod. “We had missions most days, but we had a day to visit a temple and hang out at a beach. That was our relaxing day.” Upon the student’s return, they made a presentation to the Battle River School Division board to share their experiences. The students that traveled to Peru were JaymieLynn Luscombe, Nathaniel Westergreen, Tessa Maunder, Michael Ioanidis, Courtney Ziegeman, Tod Vandenberg and staff representative Steve Ioanidis.
