Expertise, talent, and professionalism in home design, renovations and new construction does not necessarily equate to equal proficiency on the golf course. Shawn Mackinnon (putting in this photo above), owner of Home Solutions Ltd., and business partner, Kayle Warkentin of Battle River Design Ltd., prove it ... much to the delight of Colleen Swanson, Executive Director of Canadian Mental Health Association, East Central Region. The construction duo are offered generous latitude in their game, however. For the second year in a row, they have donated $3,000 to CMHA towards their 16th annual golf tournament. It will take place this Saturday, July 5th at Camrose Golf Course. The Val Wolski Memorial Golf Tournament is in memory of a wonderful co-worker and friend to many in the mental health field. Proceeds from the day will assist in providing ongoing opportunities for adults with severe and persistent mental illness to engage in activities and receive assistance to maintain their social, physical and emotional well-being.

Mark Saturday, July 12, down on your calendar and plan to attend the fourth annual Garden Tour and Luncheon. This popular event is also a major fundraiser for the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park that attracts both local and out of town participants. Maps are available for the two-hour self-guided tour that features five unique and inspiring gardens throughout the city. “After the tour, participants will return to the railway station for the Taste of Tuscany luncheon and tea. This is a delicious three course tea menu infused with the flavours of Italy,” said Robbie O’Riordan, volunteer at the station. “The final gardens on the tour are those around the station, which will include the newly developed Victory Garden. It will be viewed after lunch.” Early registration is advised because the event was sold out in previous years. For more information and to register phone Robbie at 780-608-8744.

Camrose Sobey’s closing By Dan Jensen
The days are numbered for the Camrose Sobey’s store. “We will definitely be closing July 31,” said Sobey’s Camrose manager Al Paquette June 27. “There are 63 staff who will lose their jobs at that point. We have 17 full time staff and the rest are part time.” The decision to close the store, along with 49 others across Canada was made by Empire Co., Sobey’s parent company, after a review of its retail store network. “This review aligns with management’s ongoing focus of enhancing the productivity and performance of the network and logically follows the acquisition of Canada Safeway, which was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2012,” said Empire in a June 25 press release announcing its Fiscal 2014 fourth quarter and full year results. The stores that will be closed have a total of 1.5 million of gross square footage, representing 3.8 per cent of the square footage of the total retail network. Approximately 60 per cent are located in western Canada. Empire expects the store closures will strengthen the quality of the Sobey’s store network and improve net earnings as a result of cost savings. It further anticipates a reduction in future sales of approximately $400 million, or 1.9 per cent of total sales. “The rationalization and restructuring costs associated with these store closures amount to $169.9 million and are included in selling and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter ended May 3, 2014,” said the release. “This expense consists of $137.1 million for severance, site closing and other costs, $35.8 million associated with the write down of property, equipment and intangible assets, and a $3.1 million reversal of straight-line lease revisions.” Empire Food’s retailing segment achieved sales of $5.94 billion for the 13 weeks ended May 3, an increase of $1.69 billion or 39.5 per cent over the same quarter last year.
Nobel Prize recipient sheds light on the subject of global warming By Dan Jensen
Nobel Peace Prize corecipient Dr. Russell Schnell is doubtful as to whether much can be done in the near future to correct the problem of global warming. “We would have to change our lifestyle pretty dramatically and even that might have little effect,” said the director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s global marketing division in Boulder, Colorado, June 26 before a presentation at the Stoney Creek Centre. “On a personal basis it is like peeing in the ocean. It makes you feel good, but the ocean doesn’t even know what you are doing.” Change in culture
Dr. Schnell said achieving reductions in the amount of carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere will require changes to the whole culture of how much energy we use. “We would have to drive more efficient vehicles or fewer vehicles, but as of now nothing beats a litre of gasoline. I mean how much energy is in a litre? You can drive a car up the mountain on a litre of gasoline and take a couple of friends with you. You can’t do that with solar or wind.” Dr. Schnell believes if Canada or even Alberta started using less and less energy, which they are doing every year, somebody else would be using more. “People ask me how we can cut down on our energy consumption all the time and I don’t have an answer for them. I try to tell them the way it is. Who is going to give up fossil fuel, who is going to give up electricity, who is going to give up cars? It is really tough. Maybe if the expense (of buying fuel) goes up then we will. If we spent the same proportion of our income on fuel as the people in third world countries then we would start thinking about it more seriously. In Canada and Alberta the gas is much more expensive than it is in the United States. If it
Dr. Schnell with Jane Ross, president of the Association of Life-wide Living (ALL) of Alberta, which hosted his talk in cooperation with the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society.
goes up a penny or two we (in the United States) complain. Here you are paying twice as much.” Adding feathers
Dr. Schnell compares the amount of carbon that is being pumped into the atmosphere to that of adding more feathers to a down quilt on a cold evening. “We generate the heat (in the form of carbon) and it has no where to go: it stays below the blanket,” he said. “Every CO2 molecule is just like a feather or a piece of down in a down blanket. It holds heat and causes the temperature of the atmosphere to increase. Basically what we are doing is adding more and more down feathers to the blanket of the atmosphere.” Dr. Schnell noted one can determine how much he or she is putting into the atmosphere by taking the number of litres of fuel he or she uses and multiplying that by three. “It is going up faster and faster and faster. You take all the oil and gas and coal we have burned and multiply it be three and it is billions of tons.” Effects of heating
The effects of that heating can be most noticeably seen, said Dr. Schnell, in the arctic ice caps and the glaciers. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center in the United States, warming in the polar region has reduced the ice extent from 2.8 million square miles
at its yearly summer minimum in 1979, when satellite measuring began, to 2.1 million square miles in 2013. “The ice cap is melting everywhere,” said Dr. Schnell, who showed slides in his presentation indicating that the amount of arctic ice in the summer is about half of what it was 30 or 40 years ago. “The ice on Greenland is going to act as a resistor or capacitor (to increasing air temperatures) for a long time, but eventually it is going to be gone.” The heat is also being taken up by the oceans, which draw it down and then brings it up somewhere else thousands of miles away. “The oceans circulate; we think they are quiet but they aren’t,” said Dr. Schnell. “They settle. The water goes down and around and comes back up. The oceans are not warming much yet because the heat is being taken down.” Slow changes
Dr. Schnell said the effects of global warming will be very slow at first and barely noticeable. His prediction is that Alberta will become wetter in the spring, experience a lot more snow in the winter, and have longer summers. “Alberta and parts of Canada will love climate change. Everybody is making noise saying that climate

change is the worst thing in the world, but certain places will really benefit. Alberta will probably be able to grow corn more reliably because there will be one less spring frost and one less fall frost.” The flip side will be some of the desert and tropical areas, which Dr. Schnell feels will become too hot for habitation. “Western and south Mexico is really going to dry up compared to what it is now,” he said. “The people who are living there are either going to die or move somewhere else. They will probably be moving north, so a lot more of them will be trying to come into the United States.” Finally, Dr. Schnell said the sea levels will start rising faster than they are now. “Miami will go under water and some countries will disappear in the Pacific. Those little island atolls that are three or two feet above seal level. The ocean is going to get a little higher and when a storm comes the water will just wash right over them. That is happening already on some of those islands. Bangladesh will really suffer because it is such a shallow country.” Dr. Schnell said the amount of carbon that is in the atmosphere today will affect the earth for the next 100 years. “There is so much extra there now that if we stopped all CO2 output today the temperatures would still increase.” Dr. Schnell believes if greenhouse gases are to be controlled to forestall a five to eight degree Fahrenheit increase in global average temperatures before fossil fuels become rare, large shifts in political will and basis economic transformations will be required. Dr. Schnell’s presentation was hosted by the Association of Life-wide Living (ALL) of Alberta in cooperation with the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society.

CAFCL served 441 individuals CAFCL presents By Dan Jensen
Camrose Association for Community Living served a total of 441 individuals through its support home, brain injury outreach, Kandu summer camp, Meaningful Options for Role Enhancement (MORE), outreach, Parent Child Assistance (PCAP), residential, respite for children, Rose Club, sexuality/relationship education, Sibshops, and Teaching Independence and Parent Support (TIPS) programs in the twelve months ending March 31. “The biggest growth we had was in our PCAP program which serves women who are struggling with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder,” said CAFCL chief executive officer Esther McDonald at CAFCL’s annual meeting June 17. “It is important to note that last year in January we had 16 people in that program and that at the end of the year (March) we had 34. It really shows that there is a really need for support for these women and children.” CAFCL also had 38 community kitchens which fed 319 mouths and employed 101 staff, 10 per cent of which are from other countries and cultures. “A little bit on the negative side, we had a 28 per cent turnover rate in our staff last year,” said McDonald. “That is too high. We don’t like that because it is hard on people when they
have changes in caregivers all the time.” An individual with an acquired brain injury who isn’t in CAFCL services, Jamie Roth, was hired to provide school education on brain injury prevention. CAFCL enjoyed the support of many volunteers who put in 2,359 hours. “That is the hours they actually reported to us that they put in,” said McDonald. “We know there is probably a whole lot more that they did that they don’t tell us about.” Budget
CAFCL’s operating budget for the fiscal year was $5.1 million, with 85 per cent of that amount coming from the federal and provincial governments for programs and services and the rest coming from fundraising events like the annual charity auction, casinos, 50/50 ticket sales, memorial donations and grants from Battle River Community Foundation, Camrose County and the Western Canadian Boilermakers. The organization now feels its government contracts are stable and, in an attempt to be proactive, has taken the initiative to restructure its adult services staffing model to be effective and lean, and to ensure the development of upcoming leaders. Eighty five per cent of CAFCL funds are spent on wages of staff who are directly responsible for providing services to the individuals
that are served, as well as administrative staff. Accreditation
CAFCL completed its accreditation review and achieved 100 per cent compliance. “Accreditation is an evaluation process established by the Alberta Council of Disability Services in partnership with the Alberta government,” said a joint report presented at the meeting by McDonald and CAFCL president Jason Schiele. “Accreditation is a measure of our quality of service and demonstrates our commitment to quality services. It is a rigorous process involving surveyors talking with individuals, families, guardians, board members and staff. They review client files, employee files, policies and procedures to ensure practice matches policy and ensure there are good and safe procedures to protect the people we serve.” Strategic plan
A new five-year strategic plan developed by the board of directors will see CAFCL develop innovative and responsive programs and services, develop new partnerships and build on existing partnerships, advocate for the rights and needs of the individuals it serves, educate stakeholders and the public to ensure quality of service and quality of life for the individuals it serves, recruit, develop and retain qualified staff and volunteers, and build assets in order to provide effective programs and services.
life membership to Brian Nelson
CAFCL board member Keith Lyseng presents a life membership to Brian Nelson.
By Dan Jensen Camrose Association for Community Living presented a life membership to Brian Nelson at its annual meeting June 17. “Brian has made the association and our community a much better place,” said CAFCL board member and life membership presenter Keith Lyseng. “He has helped to improve the lives of our clients.” CAFCL presents life membership awards to individuals who, through their devotion and hard work, have shown a deep commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities, acquired brain injuries and families at risk, have been outstanding ambassadors to the community, and have supported the organization financially. “Our life members have a strong belief that persons with disabilities can learn, be independent and grow to be responsible citizens,” said Lyseng. Nelson is the 12th life member in CAFCL’s 52-year history.
Sifton School raises $12,514.35 for Heart Fund By Dan Jensen
Students at Ecole Sifton School in Camrose showed their helpful spirit when they raised more than $12,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in a Jump Rope for Heart event May 2. “I am really proud of all the students and how they worked together as a team to raise this amount,” said Ecole Sifton Grade 1 teacher Wendy Davidson, who organized the fundraiser along with fellow Grade 1 teacher April Lindberg. “Some of them made big donations and some brought handfuls of change from their piggy banks.” Jump Rope for Heart is one of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s largest school fundraisers. “We have good participation but very few schools go over the $10,000 mark and those that do are the ones in the bigger cities,” said Heart and Stroke Foundation fund development coordinator Jennifer McNaughton, who accepted a cheque for $12,514.35 at a Sifton School assembly June 4. “Ecole Sifton did an incredible job for its size.” Ecole Sifton went into the Jump Rope fundraiser with the goal of beating the $6,500 it raised in last year’s Jump Rope for Heart event.
Students at Ecole Sifton School in Camrose and Grade 1 teacher Wendy Davidson (back right) presented a cheque for $12,514.35 to Heart and Stroke Foundation fund development coordinator Jennifer McNaughton (second from right, back) after staging a successful Jump Rope for Heart event.
“We gave them a few incentives to get there,” said Davidson. “We promised that the top fundraiser from each class would be treated to a pizza party with pizza supplied by Panago, and that, if they surpassed the goal, our principal, Colleen Nelson would dye her hair red, black and white (the school colours).” Students started collecting pledges after a Jump Rope for Heart Kickoff on April 22 at which the Heart
and Stroke Foundation made a presentation on the importance of maintaining heart health through proper eating and exercise. “We stressed the importance of being healthy in all areas of their lives and helping others to be heart healthy,” said McNaughton. In the days leading up to Jump Rope Day, students were then given skipping rhymes to try and were invited to make use of jump ropes during recess. During the
day itself, the Camrose Spirals put on a special skipping demonstration in the school gymnasium. The Heart and Stroke Foundation chose Jump Rope for Heart as a fundraiser because of the fact that jumping is both easy and inexpensive, and can be done anywhere. Money raised from the event helps the Foundation achieve our mission of preventing disease, saving lives and promoting recovery. Twenty three
cents of every dollar goes to research, funding nearly 1,500 researchers across Canada whose work is saving lives, while 31 cents goes to health promotion, including eTools such as the Heart and Stroke Risk Assessment, initiatives such as the Living with Stroke program and advocacy for causes including stronger tobacco warnings and the placement of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public spaces.

Walking Man passes through Camrose By Murray Green
The Walking Man, Andrew Siess, is attempting to journey across the world. His adventure led him through Camrose because of his connection with local resident Irene Malcolm. She offered him a place to stay through a web site called Warm Showers. “My goal is to walk around the world on land and by boat across the oceans,” said Andrew. “I wanted to see the world, have an adventure and see the world starting from Italy.” The St. Paul, Minnesota resident started his journey on the east coast. “We started sailing from Virginia and I was supposed to go to the Netherlands. Our boat hit a whale in the middle of the ocean and it sank. I was rescued by a cargo ship that was going to Naples, Italy. That’s how I ended up in Italy,” explained Andrew. “I had to work there a little bit first to raise money for items because I lost everything in the shipwreck. Then I started walking and went all the way to China.” Andrew then took a boat to Korea, walked across the country and got on a boat to Japan.
“I flew from Japan to Anchorage, Alaska because I couldn’t find a boat. Since then, I have walked from Anchorage all the way down to here,” he said. “It has been about two years since I left and started the walk.” The Walking Man is on his way back home to visit with family before completing his trip around the world. “I want to visit, work for a couple of months and then finish the trip,” he added. “I want to fly to Portugal and then head to Italy where I started walking.” Andrew has completed other adventures in the past, such as cycling from Minnesota to Argentina and back, and canoeing down the Mississippi River. “Non-motorized travel is my speciality,” he joked. “It’s cheaper or me, and I want to do this while I’m still young. When I’m older I might switch to a car or motorcycle. Right now, I enjoy the exercise.” He wanted to get off the main roads and head through Alberta. “I was hoping Highway 13 would have less traffic than Highway 16. I wanted to meet Irene. She is on the Warm Showers web site. It
is for people who want to host a travelling cyclist. When I went on the cycling trip I was hosted by a few people on it, so I wanted to see if I could meet more people. It’s a great opportunity to visit people and share experiences around the world. Cycling and walking long distances is fairly similar.” Andrew wanted to stick around for Jaywalkers’ Jamboree to learn what the event was about. “I have a wedding to get to, my cousin is getting married, in St. Paul, so I am on a bit of schedule now to get home in July,” he stated. The American walked 100 kilometres in a day recently, but usually averages between 65 to 70 km a day. “I go from dusk to dawn and don’t really stop very often. I love Canada because people quite often stop and ask if I have a place to stay or need something. They offer rides, but my goal is to walk, so I turn them down. If I do accept because of bad weather, I go back to the place I left off and start walking from there,” he continued. “If I don’t have a place to stay, I sleep in my tent.” Continued on page 11

I am a Francophone and a staff member in the French immersion program and I am writing in response to Mrs. Leithead’s letter in the hope to shed to light on the difference between French immersion and Francophone education. First, Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms applies to all provinces, including Québec. Section 23 protects the right to receive instruction in the minority language of the province of residence. You can refer to an article on page 30 of the May 27, 2014 edition of The Camrose Booster for more details on Section 23, as well as www.lawslois.justice.gc.ca/eng/const/ page-15.html. In Alberta, as
in most Canadian provinces, Francophones are a minority. History has shown that over generations, members of linguistic minorities have lost their ability to speak their mother tongue. This is one of the reasons why the Canadian government protects minorities of both official languages. While French is the language of instruction for both, French immersion is designed specifically for non-French speakers to learn a second language, and the program is offered by an Anglophone school board. By the end of Grade 12, students graduating from a full French immersion program are said to be functionally fluent in French. On the other hand, as is the case in our province, Francophone education is intended for students whose mother-tongue is French, or have a French family background. Francophone programs/schools are managed by Francophone school boards, and the whole school operates in French. Both cater to the linguistic and cultural needs of different student populations. In Canada, a French immersion program is open to all who want to learn our other official language, whereas Francophone schools meet the specific needs of a lin-
guistic minority to preserve their language (and vice versa in Québec). A Francophone school in our community means that Francophones now have access to instruction in their language, as is their right. It gives families a choice they did not have until now. And it does not take anything away from anybody. I hope someone else can answer the other questions raised in your letter. Sincerely, Nathalie Bernard, Camrose Centra Cam grateful

The Purple Martin Festival on Sunday, June 22, is yet another connection to local pioneer ornithologist and naturalist, Frank Farley (1870-1949). Farley noted that after the first pair of purple martins nested here in 1918, numbers had increased to over 200 pairs by 1939. I’m currently researching Farley for Augustana professors Jeremy Mouat and Glen Hvenegaard and we are looking for recollections or stories about this outstanding steward who imparted his love of birds and nature to many of the young people of Camrose. A number of Farley’s proteges went on to successful ornithological careers, including A.L. Wilk (who co-wrote The Birds of Alberta with Ray Salt and dedicated the book to Farley) and Arthur Twomey (who curated the ornithology division for the PittsburghCarnegie Museum). Please call or email me if you
have a story about Frank Farley at 780-679-4468 or hjmarsha@ualberta.ca. Heather Marshall, Camrose Quiet street
I am happy that putting up barricades in my area. I think it was a good move. What a change, from 1,886 cars passing every day to just a handful. Twenty nine years ago this was a quiet residential neighbourhood. Since then, the west end grew so fast that this street has been very busy. In the summer, with windows open, we can smell the fumes from cars going west and from cars stopping to get onto Grand Drive. With this, I need air conditioning installed so that I do not have to open the windows anymore. Backing up was also a problem. Before, it took me quite a bit of time before I could get out of my driveway safely. I needed to have a fence installed as well to keep my grandkids and great grandkids safe. Now, I can say that I have a safer place in regards to traffic. My hope is for you to make this permanent so I do not have to worry for our safety and in the long run, with fewer fumes, we’ll live a healthier life. Lloyd Allan Reed, Camrose

Van Dornick wins fourth mid-amateur title By Dan Jensen
Camrose golfer Frank
Van Dornick overcame drizzling rain and strong competition to win his fourth Alberta Mid-Amateur Championship at the Athabasca Golf and Country Club June 19. Van Dornick shot a two under par 70 over the final 18 holes to maintain the five stroke lead he had built with scores of 73 and 71 over the two days previous. “Winning never gets tiring, just the winners,” said Van Dornick. “It is always nice to enter an event and be successful in it, but by the same token, having won it four times, you just never know. As you get older it is nice to have that in your back pocket.” Harry Aime, from the Glendale in Edmonton, matched Van Dornick’s score on the final round but ended up five strokes back. “Harry was playing very well and he managed to match my birdies, so he wasn’t really falling back at all,” said Van Dornick. “I tried to play one stroke at a time and maintain what I had. As it worked out I ended up with a lead the same size as it was when I started.” Van Dornick went into the championship hoping to take care of some unfinished business. In the 1999 Alberta Mid-Amateur, on the same golf course, he surrendered a five shot lead in the final round and ended up losing in a twohole playoff. “I remember I didn’t play overly well,” said the Alberta Golf Hall of Fame inductee. “I really wasn’t
Camrose golfer Frank Van Dornick
focused on what I needed to and I got caught. I thought of that after I finished on Thursday, but I didn’t have any thoughts of it while I was playing. I was really trying to play the golf I needed to play to be successful. I am thankful that everything worked out.” Aime admitted he was in trouble before the final round. “Giving guy of Frank’s calibre that much (five strokes) of a lead is just too much,” said Aime. “You know he’s not going to hit it in the trees and you know he isn’t going to make many mistakes. “I tried to put pressure on him, but I couldn’t.” Van Dornick went to Athabasca a day or two early to get familiar with the course, which is among the top 10 in Canada in terms of difficulty and slope ratings. “There are lots of trees
and lots of places that you can get into trouble,” he said. “You have to keep the ball between the tree lines if you want to score. I was fortunate that I didn’t hit a whole lot of offline shots to cause me too much grief.” Van Dornick declined the opportunity to represent Alberta at the Canadian Mid-Amateur Championship in Barrie, Ontario, Sept. 16 to 19, choosing instead to stick with the schedule he had set in the spring. He will be competing in the Alberta Amateur Championship at the Desert Blume Golf Course in Medicine Hat July 15 to 18, the Alberta Senior Men’s in Whitecourt Aug. 5 to 7, and the Canadian Senior Men’s at the Capilano Golf and Country Club in West Vancouver Aug. 26 to 29. “I have two other
(Alberta) events plus a national event and I am just running out of time to do them,” said Van Dornick. “I had to make a decision and make it quickly.” Van Dornick is finding it increasingly difficult to stay ahead of the younger long-ball hitting golfers who are coming into tournaments. “The kids are getting better and they are getting better sooner than what they used to,” he said, adding that Andrew Harrison, from the Camrose Golf Course, is a good example. “A lot of it has to do with available instruction and a lot of it has to do with equipment. But definitely as you get older it is very hard to compete with the younger ones coming up.” Van Dornick came onto the competitive golf scene relatively late, not competing seriously until his late 20s. In 2009, he became just the second player to win Alberta Golf’s triple crown when he added the provincial senior title to his mid-am wins and the 1999 Alberta Amateur crown. He also won the Canadian Mid-Amateur title in 2004. “I really do enjoy the game and it is always fun to enter competitions and take a benchmark, or use the rest of the field as a barometer,” he said. “My plan is to enter tournaments and championships as long as I can maintain a certain level of skill and I can’t compete anymore.” When he isn’t competing, Van Dornick can be seen walking the Camrose Golf Course. “I usually do 18 holes on Sunday and nine holes four days a week, just to keep touch,” he said.

His hope is to find that warm shower along the way. “By being a member of Warm Showers (warmshowers.org), you have all kinds of opportunities to connect with people. Before we moved to Camrose two years ago we lived along Highway 16 and that’s when we noticed a lot of cyclists going across Canada. Being a cyclist myself, who rode along the highway, I met all kinds of interesting people. I met a lady who was from Switzerland who had a flat tire. I helped her and when I went to Switzerland, I stayed with her,” recalled Irene, who hosts with her husband Scott. “People help
other people and I’m just returning the favour.” A lot of the people have similar experiences. “The people you stay with know how it feels to be out on the road and how nice it is when you get invited in for that warm shower or a bit to eat,” said Andrew. The walker has a travel bag with wheels in which he stores his tent, sleeping bag and a change of clothes. “I started with a backpack, but after a few miles I realized something with wheels would be a lot better,” he said. “Someone gave me a luggage bag with wheels and ever since then I have used something with wheels.
They invented the wheel, so I might as well use it.” Andrew travels without a cell phone or a computer because of certain countries he travelled through, so he often stops at the library to check of where he is headed. “I have a spot checker that is hooked to a satellite signal that has a GPS, so my family can track where I am at in case of emergencies,” he said. “One time I had to go to the hospital, but I started from where I left off. “People all over the world have been curious and helpful. It has been safer than I expected. I have been invited in all of the time and it has been a great adventure.”

Augustana choir returns from Halifax Submitted
In March of 2013, the Augustana choir applied to perform at Podium 2014, the biennial national conference for the Canadian choral community. Based on concerts, tours, and CD recordings over the past two years, the Association of Canadian Choral Communities accepted our submission and we were off to Halifax. “It was very exciting as a choir to be chosen by the ACCC to sing at Podium,” says Andrea Benoit (BMus ’14), chorister and 2013/14 choir president. “In particular, I know many people were excited that this event would be taking place in Halifax. This gave us the opportunity not only to sing at an exciting and well-known musical event, but also to experience a part of Canada that many had never seen before, and to experience it with our choral family.” One of fifteen choirs selected to perform – one of three from Alberta, and the only university choir invited – the Augustana choir attended the conference hosted by the Nova Scotia Choral Federation from May 14 to 19, with additional concerts in Halifax-area schools and churches. Tour performances were extremely wellreceived in Truro, Mahone Bay, and the Halifax Public Gardens. “The pastor at the church in Mahone Bay used to live and work in Camrose,” says Andrea. “It was incredible to me to see how far our connections with others take us, and the opportunities we have because of our lasting relationships. It encouraged me to build long term relationships with others, and to reconnect with those who have moved distances, because relationships are crucial, and you can never know where they will take you.” In keeping with the Podium 2014 conference theme – Bring Your Song! – the Augustana choir performed choral repertoire from Alberta composers and University of Alberta-trained composers. Choristers and audienc-

es alike had the opportunity to a) examine Old World music that has influenced Canadian choral music, b) celebrate Alberta composers, and c) explore the influences of nature and indigenous culture on classical choral music in Alberta and in Canada. Central Alberta composers Robin J. King, James Neff, and Dr. Milton Schlosser were featured. A glorious poem entitled Autumn’s Orchestra (1912) by E. Pauline Johnson was set for choir, piano, and violin in two newly-commissioned works by University of Alberta-trained composers Christine Donkin and Scott Edward Godin. The Augustana choir also served as a lab choir for two sessions led by Dr. Sebastien Valee from California State University in Los Angeles and by Augustana’s Dr. John Wiebe. A large and appreciative audience comprised of conference delegates filled St. Matthew’s United Church at the Podium Spotlight concert on the afternoon of May 17. The Augustana choir, accompanied by pianist Dr. Roger Admiral and violinist Ange-
lina Weber, was delighted to share the stage with Nova Voce, a male chorus from Halifax, conducted by William Perrot. “The choir worked so hard throughout the year to learn and perfect our repertoire,” says Andrea, “and to further develop and shape our musicality; many times during our rehearsals, knowing we would be singing in Halifax as a spotlight choir was the push we needed to work that little bit harder. It was a wonderful moment to see, feel, and especially to hear our hard work come to fruition as we took the stage and filled St. Matthew’s Church with our sound. Equally satisfying was to see how well-received we were by our audience. It was most definitely a thrilling moment, and an encouraging memory I will have as I take my next steps in my musical career.” Chorister Kelly Milne’s (BMus ’14) highlights including listening to other choirs from across Canada, as well as the camaraderie that grew among the attendees. She recalls singing Barrett’s
Privateers everywhere they went, and trying both the Highland Fling and Irish Jig in her choir dress. She adds, “I would really like to thank the amazing people of Halifax who served us, toured us, and drove us around.” The Augustana choir lived up to its role as choral ambassadors for Augustana Campus. Dr. Darryl Edwards, University of Toronto Head of Voice Studies, wrote: “I thought I would tell you how much I enjoyed the Augustana choir’s performance at Podium 2014. I loved the choir’s vibrant, healthy singing, and your engaging depth of programming, too.” Directors Dr. Ardelle Ries, Dr. John Wiebe, and the Augustana choir are deeply grateful for the remarkable support of the University of Alberta President’s Grant for the Creative and Performing Arts, Augustana Faculty, Battle River Community Foundation, Pro Coro Canada, the University of Alberta Mixed Chorus, and numerous individual donors to this tour project and a joyful choral cause.
Primary care funding Albertans will soon have even more convenient and timely access to the services of primary health care professionals. The government is making $32 million available to Primary Care Networks (PCN) in 2014-15 to implement advancements such as same day/next day appointments and extended operating hours. The government will also be making up to $45 million in new funding in Budget 2014 available for the implementation of nine new Family Care Clinics in the Edmonton, Calgary, Peace River, and central Alberta areas that will focus on providing community-specific health care services. These efforts are supported by the government’s continuing efforts to expand the scope of practice of a variety of health professionals in the province, including most recently pharmacists and optometrists. “These investments are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to increase the availability and convenience of primary health care services in Alberta communities,” said Fred Horne, Minister of Health. “By ensuring that Albertans are able to access care from a variety of health care professionals at times and locations that are convenient to them is key in both helping people manage their health and in the province achieving better health outcomes overall.” In addition, a Primary Health Care Strategic Clinical Network will be established to provide research that will aid in the ongoing development of primary health care in Alberta.
Kazema to attend Team Alberta U18 hockey camp By Murray Green
Defenceman Taylor Kezama, formerly of Camrose, will be attending the U18 female hockey camp July 8 to 13 in the EnCana Arena. “They had the top 88 players attend a spring camp in Spruce Grove and now they have cut down to 46 players,” said Taylor. “I want to do my best and move on to the next level. They select the top 27 players to form the team.” Team Alberta then plays against other squads from across Canada. “My goal is to make the
team,” said Taylor. “I moved to Edmonton to play hockey for Saint Francis Xavier High School on the prep team and it gives me more exposure to a higher level of hockey.” The Grade 10 student wants to stay in the program at the high school level. “We practice hockey in the first block of school and then after school we have dryland training,” explained Taylor. “I have improved a lot over the year and it is a good opportunity. We compete against other schools from Alberta, B.C. and the United States. It is more travel. We
also play against colleges and universities.” With the hockey season over, Taylor has concentrated on her training to prepare for the summer camp. “I do a lot of cross training like boxing and I will start canoeing shortly,” she continued. “I have a training program with my team and then I will keep going in the summer. This was the first year for the girl’s team, but they want to have a third from each grade.” Two of her teammates will also be at the camp. Taylor played with the
Camrose Bulldogs prior to joining the high school team. The U18 program works towards the final goal of taking Team Alberta to the National Women’s U18 Hockey Championship or the Canada Winter Games. The week long camp in Camrose exposes the players to high intensity on- and office training as well as classroom sessions and fitness testing. It is an opportunity for the athletes to develop their skills in an environment that will challenge them and give an insight to the short term competition expectations.
After the provincial camp, the top players are identified to continue through a fall training camp and scouting process. The fall camp will include on- and off-ice sessions again, as well as some exhibition games. From here, the Team Alberta coaching staff will spend some time scouting the players during their season and announce the final 20 player roster. Once selected, the team will compete at either the National Women’s Under-18 Hockey Championship or the Canada Winter Games.

ARDN receives federal grant Being homeless can happen anywhere, including rural Alberta. Albertans in rural and remote communities will have increased access to supports and services that prevent and reduce homelessness, with the awarding of $2.4 million in federal funding over five years to the Alberta Rural Development Network (ARDN). The funding comes through the Government of Canada’s Homelessness Partnering Strategy. It aims to stabilize the lives of homeless people for the long term, move them into permanent housing, and provide supports for underlying issues such as addiction and mental health problems; all with the ultimate goal of helping them achieve self-reliance. “The Alberta Rural Development Network is grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Government of Canada on initiatives that combat homelessness in rural and remote Alberta. By working directly with smaller communities to address their unique issues, we can help homeless and at risk individuals be more successful in their own communities,” said ARDN executive director Dee Ann Benard. ARDN, in partnership with the Government of Canada and the Regional Advisory Board, has developed criteria and a submission process for projects to be put forward by eligible communities and organizations across the province. Submissions will be reviewed on an annual basis and funding allocated by ARDN. All recipients will be required to report on their progress and results. ARDN received a previous federal grant of nearly $450,000 in 2013, allocated to homelessness projects in seven communities (Camrose, Cochrane, Fort Macleod, Chestermere, Drayton Valley, Brooks, and Banff). These projects were completed by March 2014, and along with other initiatives, help showcase ARDN’s ability to successfully manage complex funding programs. “Each community has its unique needs and issues, and develops its own solutions to overcome them,” said Benard. “Our approach is to provide support to bring their ideas to reality. When we launched our first call for submissions, we were surprised at the immense need in rural Alberta. Now with more funding over a longer period, we should really start to see some substantial results.” ARDN is a not-for-profit partnership of Alberta’s 21 public colleges, universities and technical institutes working together to enhance the quality of life in rural Alberta through research and learning.

Daysarts program offering summer camps
Holly invites you to enjoy a great steak sandwich
By Murray Green
Daysarts is offering 10 summer camps for children in Daysland. The first session, learning how to skip, will be with the Camrose Spirals July 2 to 4 from 9:30 a.m. to noon in the Daysland School. Students will learn double dutch, can-can and double unders. Children will have an opportunity to show their parents what they have learned during a performance on the final day. In the afternoon on the same dates (1 to 3:30 p.m.) a basic clowning for the stage camp will be conducted by Collette Radau. Learn how to play, act and feel like a real clown at the Palace Theatre. A painting and drawing class will be running in the mornings of July 7 to 11. Jenelle Weller will help the children with paint, pastels and shading.

BRSD makes travel plans
CAFCL repairs foundation with government help
Diane Hutchinson, Communications, BRSD
At a meeting on June 12, the Battle River School Division board of trustees reviewed requests for international travel trips in the upcoming school year, and more. At least five high school groups intend to travel to far-away places during spring break 2015 and sought board approval of their plans. Destinations are as varied as Austria / Germany / Swizterland; England / Ireland / Wales; Paris, China and a service-oriented trip to Mexico. All trips require students to learn about the country in advance of travel and be prepared to share information after they return, in addition to providing all the funds required. Students earn high school credits for participating. Caring for Watershed
Four students from Bashaw School attended the board meeting, to share their story of participation in the Caring for our Watershed competion, sponsored by the Battle River Watershed group. Two of the students were current year winners, while two others participated in 2013. Students spoke about the importance of being good stewards of the watershed and shared ideas for building awareness and making changes to that could positively impact water conservation. We have a winner!
Battle River School Division is very pleased and proud to recognize Nathan Pederson, a first-year teacher from Chester Ronning School, who was selected as this year’s Zone 4 Edwin Parr winner by the Alberta School Boards Association. The award is given to five first-year teachers from around the province who exhibit outstanding promise and characteristics of excellence in teaching. Learning Institute
All BRSD staff and board members will gather together on Thursday, August 28, to participate in the annual Pathways to Student Success Learning Institute 2014. The focus of this year’s event, which will see everyone from teachers and school support staff to bus drivers, mechanics, finance, maintenance and technology team members in one place, is to hear common messages about the inspiring Education framework and how everyone plays a role in bringing it to life for students.
CAFCL had to do some landscaping after undertaking foundation repairs. By Dan Jensen
Camrose Association of Community Living was able to do some much needed building grounds maintenance recently thanks to a grant from the provincial government’s Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP). “We had to fix the sloping on our property because water was draining under our building and ruining our foundation,” said CAFCL chief executive officer Esther McDonald. “We had to hire a company to come in and reslope the property as well as do some landscaping.” The association also used the grant to replace the signage on the front of the building.
“We had a cedar sign but it was about ten or 12 years old and weathered so bad that fixing it would have cost more than getting a new one,” said McDonald. “The sign we have now is maintenance free and has a lifetime guarantee.” New residence
CAFCL is hoping for second and third reading of a City bylaw that would allow the redistricting of property just west of the Burgess building from park to institutional. “We need the new zoning in order to build a new accessible residence,” explained McDonald. “Once that happens we can have the services put in. We have the plans developed
and we are starting to get a few bids from contractors for construction. We would like to be in the ground by August or September at the latest.” The residence’s main floor would be used by three people with disabilities who have mobility issues. The basement would be made into independent suites for two people who need more support than they would be able to receive from living in an apartment. “They would still have staff support from upstairs with meals or some of the other things that they struggle with but they would still have their independence,” said McDonald. “The suites could be used as transition
accommodation for those who are maybe getting more independent.” The total budget for the building is just over $600,000, with approximately $330,000 of that amount coming from the provincial government. The rest would have to come from a mortgage or community fundraising. “The sooner we can get it open the better,” said McDonald. “The very latest we would like to have it open is March 31 of 2015, but we are trying to be realistic with our time frame. I am scared to say a date for sure because the rezoning is taking a little bit longer than I thought that it would.”
Rural Crime Watch committee to be formed By Murray Green
Camrose RCMP and Camrose County Protective Services are joining forces to help launch a local Alberta Rural Crime Watch Association. Both protective forces will assist in the formation of the committee, which will have its own identity. “In a detachment our size we have a variety of secondary roles in addition to our regular policing functions. Rural Crime Watch, Victim Services and other groups help us to perform our duties better,” explained RCMP Const. Trent Kenyon. “Unfortunately, during my three and a half years here, Rural Crime Watch has not been active. We fully support it because it is essential for us to have it going to be the eyes and ears of the county. As the RCMP, we are trying to spearhead it and get it going.” There will be an organizational meeting in the fall where volunteers will be sought for the newly formed Rural Crime Watch Association. Once details are formalized, notices will be placed in the local media outlets. “We will provide a RCMP liaison member to
attend meetings and act as a go-between with police and Rural Crime Watch,” said Const. Kenyon. “We are working with the County because it is supportive of a Rural Crime Watch. What we are attempting to do is form an all-emcompassing crime watch that covers the Bashaw and Camrose RCMP detachment areas. This program is really important to any policing agency. Joining the Rural Crime Watch Committee will be valuable because you are helping the community and your neighbours. It is crucial for anyone who lives in the county and wants to protect property, reduce crime, or help save their mailboxes, to help us out on this committee.” Currently, Bashaw (Bashaw and south to outside of the county) has a Rural Crime Watch. The RCMP would like to see that committee become part of the larger identity that would oversee the entire Bashaw and Camrose detachment areas. “I’m waiting to hear back from that organization if they are interested in forming this bigger committee that could also include a few communi-
ties outside of the county,” said Const. Kenyon. “Once we get the green light from them, we will get the ball rolling again. We would like a not-for-profit society formed and a representative from each region or division, similar to the way it is set up for councillors on council. “We want to get as many people involved as we can,” he said. “It might be tough to get everything in place during the summer, but we want to be ready in September.” Rural Crime Watch organizations have appeared within the county before but the RCMP detachment wants to have a permanent committee with funding support. “I’ve made sponsorship letters to larger companies in the county to get them on board. They are ready to be sent,” suggested Const. Kenyon. “With smaller detachments such as Camrose and Bashaw, we rely on tips and help from our citizens. There are so many ways for citizens to report crimes to us. With Rural Crime Watch in place we are trying to have more eyes and ears on the streets and roads. If anyone is thinking about committing a crime in the county they
will know that we will have citizens helping us watch for them as well.” The added support for the police detachments will be a benefit in both reducing and preventing crimes. “We need the citizens to back us up. County councillors have been advocating, along with protective services manager Mike Kuzio for getting the Rural Crime Watch program going again,” said Const. Kenyon. “Another important role is for us to send information to Crime Watch and then they pass it on. For example, we could tell them about a suspect vehicle we are looking for and have them help monitor as well. It’s a good way to get information back and forth.” Camrose County council agreed to have County peace officers involved in the Rural Crime Watch Committee. “As small detachments, we see Rural Crime Watch as integral in our strategy to both reduce crime in our area and solve crimes already committed. With more people being vigilant in reporting suspicious behavior we believe we will see crime decrease,” said officer Kuzio to council.

Support for Reading University
ATA Local 32 president Jeff Myck presents a cheque for $1,000 to Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler in support of the Reading University program.
to broaden children’s basic literacy skills, provide a range of experiences that meet their different learning styles, and increase their engagement in learning by offering a program that is interesting, fun and educationally sound. Students from Grades 2 and 3 engage in a wide variety of activities that range from reading books to playing word games, computer-based activities, creating and acting out skits, using recipes to prepare treats; attending live theatre, drawing pictures and writing captions, using maps and reading signs to plan routes for visits to museums or airports. All aspects of the day are included in the program, from bus transportation to snacks, lunch and the cost of field trips. Reading University has always received good support from community-minded individuals and businesses through donations or the creation of endowment funds. “Their contributions cover the cost of the meals and field trips, as well as classroom supplies such as backpacks, t-shirts and books that the students can take home,” said Fowler.

Battle River Local 32 of the Alberta Teachers’ Association has a vested interest in the success of students and their ability to read. “We know literacy is important for children, especially in the formative years,” said Local 32 president Jeff Myck, after presenting a cheque for $1,000 on behalf of the local’s roughly 385 full time equivalent teachers to Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler in support this year’s Reading University program. Battle River Local 32 was made aware of the Reading University program by the Battle River School Division and the Battle River Community Foundation, two of the three major stakeholders in Reading University, along with the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta. “It is a really good program that helps students who may have a challenge when it comes to reading,” said Myck.

Who doesn’t want to ride a 3,000 lb. bull? By Dan Jensen
If riding a bull is on your bucket list of things to do you’ll won’t want to miss out on being a part of this year’s Take No Bull contest. Family Violence Action Society is giving the person who raises the most money for its support and counselling programs between now and July 24 the chance to ride Wild West Willie, a 3,000 pound Brahma cross-steer, in the 2014 Camrose Chamber of Commerce Big Valley parade July 31. The winner will also receive a 2014 Take No Bull trophy buckle from Lammle Western Wear and Tack. “Last year our campaign with about eight or nine active fundraisers raised over $5,500 for our cause,” said FVAS program director Sheralyn Dobos. “This year we need $10,000 so we need to get some more people in on the project. We have some recruited already and have a few more in the wings.” The winner of the 2013 Take No Bull campaign raised $1,170, compared to $1,130 for the runner up. “The top fundraiser won’t be back but has recruited a supervisor instead,” said Dobos. Wild West Willie is a seasoned veteran of parades, including the Calgary Stampede Parade and the Rose Bowl Parade in Pasadena, California. He is so mild mannered that
he went for a stroll on the second floor of the Banff Springs Hotel with the president of a company on his back while more than 400 people cheered him on in a banquet hall. Taking responsibility FVAS provided counselling support to 97 adults in 2013 for domestic abuse and/or anger management. “We help them heal and recover and learn different ways of being in a relationship, as well as communicating and dealing with their own stress and anger,” explained Dobos. “They gain an appreciation of what is healthy and not healthy in a relationship.” FVAS also provided eight- and 14-week group programs to 63 adults (Changing Ways for men and Choices for women) to help them end violence and abuse in their homes or in the community at large. “Very often the people who come (to group) are resistant,” said Dobos. “It is not somewhere most of them want to be so we are glad the laws are in place that allow them to be mandated, because what happens for most of them is by the end of the 14 weeks, or maybe sooner in the process, they start to recognize that there is some value in this for them and that it is not all about us blaming them for being the bad guy – that there is some compassion and there is some understanding. It is not all about placing the blame at their feet, it is about helping them
recognize and be responsible and change things for the better. It gives them some tools to be able to work with and start that process.” Dobos was surprised with the responses she received from a few of the men in Changing Ways program when she did an evaluation of the program at the end of May. “One of the guys said that it was kind of fun and that he looked forward to being here,” said Dobos. “Another guy piped up and said he doesn’t have any friends and that here he felt accepted and could talk about things that mattered. Others said when they get together with other guys they are drinking and talking sports and politics and women but never talk about anything that is real. They said that here they get to talk about that.” Dobos noted that those who receive support aren’t ones who have risen from bed in the morning and decided to become terrible people. “Almost all of them have grown up in that kind of (abusive) relationship themselves. They are repeating what they know and it is a generational cycle that goes over and over again until there is an opportunity to intervene.” The participants in group sessions receive a certificate at the end of their eight or 14 weeks saying they have started and have been given the tools to start their journey. “We don’t leave them with the understanding
that they have passed and graduated, that they are all done, because it is life long work to change these patterns,” said Dobos. Helping children Along with the adults, FVAS provided counselling support to 27 children to help them cope of heal from abusive home or other environments. “We know that there are a lot of children in our community who are negatively impacted, and from the research we know that the younger the child is, down to infancy and even in utero, exposure to family violence is increasingly harmful because their brain is forming so rapidly,” said Dobos. “That trauma, that stress changes the way the brain wires itself and creates problems for young children who grow into adults with problems.” FVAS attempts to handle requests for children’s counselling on a timely basis. “When parents come to us voluntarily looking for services for their children, if we can’t act on that on a fairly timely basis the dynamics change,” said Dobos. “Sometimes when we go back to them a month, two month or three months later and they are not ready. Something has changed and we basically lose the opportunity.” The children that FVAS serves are mostly not able to get services in other places. “There are counsellors in town who have appropriate experience and train-
ing to deal with this but who charge fees that are not affordable for many families that we serve,” said Dobos. “The other barrier that our families come up against is that, if there is an open file at Children’s Services or if they are in the subject of a custody dispute in court, most counsellors won’t touch them. There is too much chance of them landing in court is my understanding in talking with some of them. Whether it is foolhardy or not we venture where others fear to tread and so far we haven’t been in a position to regret that.” Making up the funds Funds raised by the Taking No Bull campaign will help make up for the Family Violence Action Society’s shortfall in funding. “Some of the grants that we had are not available to us this year and so we have to make that up through funding and sponsorship,” said Dobos. Every contestant raising over $250 for the Take No Bull campaign will be entered in the consolation draws for Big Valley Jamboree tickets courtesy of Panhandle Productions and Spring Classic Rodeo tickets courtesy of Camrose Regional Exhibition. They will also be invited to walk in the parade with Wild West Willie, showing support for the FVAS cause. Contest entry forms may be obtained by contacting the Family Violence Action Society at 780-6720141 or email at cdss5@ telusplanet.net.

A celebration of aboriginal culture
Red Thunder – The Next Generation, one of North America’s finest First Nation’s dance companies – performed at the Camrose Railway Station June 24. The highly colorful demonstration featured pow wow dances of the Plains Indians with explanations of how the dances came to be, how the regalia was developed and what the significance of the dances is to Indian life. One of the highlights came when the performers did a friendship dance with students from Camrose schools.

Construction on new St. Francis church could start in 2015 Submitted
Prayers are being answered. Pieces are falling into place. Fundraising is on target. Plans for a bigger, better place of worship for Catholic faithful in Camrose and area have been in the works for many years. Lately, though, momentum has really picked up. The land purchase has successfully concluded and those involved in the impressive project note they have now cleared all of the hurdles with local zoning bylaws. “Recent meeting with the architects have gone really well,” said Fr. Larry Pederson. “Scheduled consultation meetings with interested parishioners have also been highly effective.” Fr. Pederson is involved with the four committees who have donated countless hours of collective time in the development of their much needed new, larger facility. “We have set a fundraising goal and asked our parishioners to try to assist in any way possible. Individuals and those from our church family who own

or operate businesses are becoming creative with their fundraising ideas and extremely generous with their time and money. It is becoming very exciting to think that if the momen-
tum continues we may very well have a 2015 start to construction,” explained Fr. Pederson. Design architects are currently taking into consideration the comments and
Hauser Home Hardware featured By Dan Jensen
The Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre store is starting to become pretty well known outside of Camrose. The recipient of the 2010 and 2011 Proud of My Home award and the 2011 Walter J. Hackborn Store of the Year award is one of more than 100 Home Hardware dealer-owners, staff and business partners from across Canada featured in the full-colour book At Home Across the Country, published by Home Hardware Stores in celebration of its 50th anniversary. The book was written by Holly Levine, past editor of Home Hardware’s Home at Home magazine, who, on page 187 of the 365 page volume, documents owner Rob Hauser’s history in the building supply business and shares a bit of his philosophy when it comes to being involved in supporting community organizations. She notes that Hauser knows first hand what a difference community youth programs can have on a young life, and that giving back to the community is more than writing a cheque. “The Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre looks for programs that require participation in large part because a meaningful level of involvement also contributes to their own team spirit,” said Levine. “Time spent on any of the company’s causes is considered company time and Rob pays the dues for any service

club his employees choose to join.” Levine makes special mention of Hauser’s soft spot for Centra Cam Vocational Training Association. “When it comes to supporting the community in general and Centra Cam in particular, Hauser HHBC aims large,” said Levine. “Two years ago, one of Hauser’s customers built a house with materials from Hauser HHBC sold to him at discounted rates, which raised over $100,000 for Centra Cam. “Last year, the Big Valley Jamboree, a country music festival with big names like Garth Brooks and Wynona Judd, held a fundraiser, also orchestrated with Rob’s creative and material input, that raised over $20,000 for the organization. Not only did Rob
design the big prize, a fully furnished and completely outfitted cabin, Camrose HHBC donated the works from the building materials and furniture to pots and pans.” Home Hardware Stores Limited president and CEO Paul Straus said the book not only celebrates the history of Home Hardware, it serves as a guide for the future. “By celebrating and understanding the challenges and successes of our past, we better prepare ourselves for opportunities yet to come.” Home Hardware Stores Limited was founded in 1964 on the belief that the best people to serve the needs of the community are those living within it. “Our unique network of dealer-owners is formed by independent business people committed to providing their communities with superior customer service and expert advice that is second to none,” said Straus. “This has helped us grow from 122 independent hardware dealer-owners to a family that now includes close to 1,100 stores under the Home Hardware, Home Building Centre, Home Hardware Building Centre and Home Furniture banners. We are now Canada’s largest independent dealer owned hardware, lumber, building materials and furniture cooperative. The traditional values on which we were founded 50 years ago – value, service and dependability remain unchanged.”
suggestions from St. Francis Xavier church members. Committee members are expecting a final draft from the building design team near the end of summer. Then, money permitting,
the tendering process will launch. The St. Francis Xavier Parish Centre will be built immediately south of the water treatment plant on 50th Street, Camrose.
Education Minister not receiving leadership backing By Murray Green
Progressive Conservative leadership hopeful Jim Prentice isn’t in agreement with current Education Minister Jeff Johnson’s teaching task force and he promised to increase the number of schools in Alberta during a speech at a breakfast event at the Edmonton Expo Centre on June 26. Prentice agreed to halt all major education curriculum overhauls under his premiership and work with teachers and the Alberta Teacher’s Association on issues with the Task Force on Teaching Excellence. He said the government must first focus on the truly critical issue on the shortage of schools and classrooms. Johnson angered teachers within the ATA when the task force was launched without input from them. Since then he received a non-confidence vote from the ATA. It has since changed Johnson’s stance. Wildrose education critic Bruce McAllister was happy about on Alberta Education’s decision to re-introduce teaching some math basics to the K-9 curriculum. “I welcome the news Education Minister Johnson is finally willing to do what Wildrose has been asking him to do for months, and re-establish a focus on teaching the basics of math, like the mastery and memorization of times tables, in our schools. While this is a step in the right direction, further changes are still needed,” said McAllister, in a statement to the media. “The basics of math are core competencies which our children must have in order to be successful in the job market and post secondary education. In addition to times tables, our children must learn long division, and vertical addition and subtraction. It is still not mandatory to learn these standard algorithms, even with these changes,” he added. “It’s astonishing to me that the Minister Johnson and his educrats took so long to listen to the concerns of thousands of Albertans and the official opposition on this file. Day after day, the minister rose in the house and dismissed the concerns of Albertans, stating that everything was fine, and now suddenly, bowing to public pressure, he’s had a meaculpa and is doing the right thing for our kids.” McAllister praised the efforts from education advocates like Dr. Nhung Tran-Davies. “Her ‘Back to Basics’ petition has nearly 17,000 signatures of support, and has garnered accolades from parents, teachers and math experts right across the country,” he said.

Sadler wins bronze at high school provincials By Murray Green
The Camrose Composite High School sent 15 athletes to the provincial track and field meet in Calgary. Leon Sadler emerged with a bronze medal in shot put to lead the local athletes. “I was introduced to shot put, so that is the event that I entered. I was in shot put in Grade 10 and then now in Grade 12,” explained Sadler. “My coaches thought that I would be good at it because I am big and strong.” Sadler was confident going into provincials. “I was doing well this year, so I wanted to receive a
medal. I didn’t practice shot put a lot, I went to the gym to lift more weights to be stronger than other competitors,” he said. “I like football and basketball, so shot put was something else that I could do.” The high school student had mixed feelings at provincials. “I was happy to get a medal, but disappointed that I was the only one from Camrose. I felt bad for them,” he said. “I think I could have done better too. I enjoy sports and going to different places like Red Deer and Calgary, so it was good.”
Special Olympics has successful tournament
He threw 13.45 metres and it was his longest distance of the year. “It was a good feeling for me to improve as the season went on,” said Sadler, who is now working for the summer prior to going to NAIT in heavy duty mechanic classes. “The 2014 track and field season was another successful one for CCHS athletes,” said Mr. Todd Markowsky, one of the coaches. “The citycounty and regional meets were both excellent opportunities for athletes to showcase their skills and prepare for the following weeks of competitions.”
CCHS athletes did very well in Red Deer at the zone meet on May 28. The following athletes advanced from the zone to compete at provincials in Calgary the following weekend: Bryan Cole, 800 meters, 10th place in final; Emily Braun, 3,000m, seventh and 1,500m seventh place in finals; Alexis Brown, discus, seventh place; Lilian Axton, 800m, seventh place in final; Brynn Markowsky, 100m, sixth place in final; Romario Turner, 100m, 10th in qualifiers; Melinka Voytechek, 400m, sixth in final; Dominik Gies,

CCHS also placed a respectable 12th out of 54 overall in the 3A school point’s classification. “Thank you to coach Haugen for helping our athletes’ this season. Also thank you to Mr. Lyster and Mr. Thain for helping to organize the meets and record results,” said Mr. Markowsky.
Johnston new coach of Penguins By Murray Green
Former Camrose Lutheran College (now University of Alberta, Augustana campus) hockey coach Mike Johnston has been named the new leader of the National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins were without a coach for three weeks until they appointed the former Portland Winterhawks coach and general manager June 25. Johnston replaced Dan Bylsma, who was fired June 6 after the team made an early exit in the playoffs. After leaving Camrose Johnston coached at the University of New Brunswick before being named an assistant/associate coach of the Vancouver Canucks from 1999-2006 and associate coach of the Los Angeles Kings from 2006-08. He has served as the coach and general manager of the Western Hockey League’s Winterhawks for the past six seasons. “As a career coach, you aspire to get to these positions,” Johnston said. “And certainly I’ve been in the National Hockey League
before as an associate coach, but to coach at this level is something I’ve aspired to do. It’s been my goal, it’s been my dream,” he told NHL.com. “When I first started coaching, I coached in a small college (Camrose) and four years into my job, I sent a letter to several NHL general managers and I said, ‘I’ve been coaching for four years now…and I’m ready to coach in the NHL.’ Just keep it in mind.” Johnston never played in the NHL, but he was an assistant coach for Canada at the 1998 Winter Olympics, at the IIHF World Championship on six occasions and the World Junior Championship twice. The former Vikings coach will use his experience with Team Canada and as an assistant in the NHL to help him to communicate with star players, such as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. “The ‘98 Olympics, for the first time we had NHL players,” Johnston said. “So we were building for the ‘98
Olympics with the national team and we were given the NHL players. That was my first experience coaching high-level NHL players.” He became an assistant and associate coach in Vancouver under head coach Marc Crawford. Johnston’s goal is to put the Penguins back in the Stanley Cup finals. His system should allow the fastpaced players to excel. During his time establishing that template with the Winterhawks Johnston led Portland to its largest turnaround in team history when it improved by 48 points in his first full season in 2009-10. Portland reached the WHL final in each of the past four years and lost to Halifax in the 2013 Memorial Cup Final. Portland’s 2013-14 roster included 10 players drafted by NHL teams, including Penguins 2012 first-round pick Derrick Pouliot. Former Penguins forward and Tampa Bay Lightning coach Rick Tocchet was named as an assistant coach.

A few people got wet, but it ended up being a good tournament for the local Special Olympic softball teams on June 21. “Despite rain delays and rain displacements the 10 teams managed to play all their scheduled games,” said Carol Wideman, Special Olympics Camrose affiliate chair. “Some games were played out on the grass of the Harry Andreassen Field with the beginner level playing two all day, one game at each end.” The intermediate teams relocated to the Camrose Composite High School grounds where the diamond was dry enough to fix. Kin Park diamonds were unusable. “Absolutely everyone took the change in stride, as everyone just wanted to play ball,” Carol added. “Weather wise the day turned out exceptional and everyone had a very good time. The banquet was held at the packed Moose Hall, 170 people for supper, an awards ceremony where every athlete received a medallion.” Every team received a trophy that depicted its conduct through the day, such as Most Polite Team, Most Respectful Team and Best Laughs. “The coaches, umpires, scorekeepers and all of the volunteers, and especially the athletes were all stupendous. Great day, Great fun,” said Carol.

Lorna Margaret Kroetsch February 18, 1934 – June 23, 2014 Lorna Margaret Kroetsch, beloved mother, grandmother (chocolate bar grandma), sister, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully on June 23, 2014 after she courageously struggled to regain health after a tragic fall at the age of 80. Lorna was born on February 18, 1934 in Daysland to Odelia (nee Messner) and Andrew Sommer. She received her schooling in Heisler, where she also met and married her one love, Goar Kroetsch, on April 13, 1955. To this union, five children were born. Lorna was always a hard worker. She worked a few jobs as a hired hand in homes before marrying. After marrying, Lorna’s main priority was her family. Once the children were somewhat grown, she worked in retail at Little People’s and Reitmans. Lorna gladly retired in 1992 at the age of 58. Her passion and extra time were all for her grandchildren and children. She truly loved gardening, her flowers were her joy. Lorna was always good at putting others first and secretly helped out when others were in need. She enjoyed visiting friends and getting into a good card game and yes, at times, the casino. Lorna had a special spunk to her and always enjoyed a good laugh. She was loved by many. Lorna leaves to mourn her loving children Brian (Laurette) of Nanaimo, BC, Kim of Calgary, Wade (Kenni) of Calgary, Lori of Calgary and Holly (Jay) Adams of Camrose; five grandchildren Cory and Michael Kroetsch, Justin and Jared Adams, and Holly Kroetsch; two sisters Fern Sommer of Camrose and Donna Sommer of Edmonton: sisters-in-law; numerous nieces and nephews; and friends. Lorna was predeceased by her husband; parents; four brothers Robert, Gordon, Lionel and Warren; one sister Helen; and three grandchildren Aaron, Matthew and Megan Adams. A Mass of the Resurrection was held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, June 27, 2014 from St. Martin’s Roman Catholic Church, Heisler, with Rev. Leon Kler as celebrant. Inurnment will take place in the St. Martin’s Roman Catholic Cemetery at a later date.

Camrose Police Service conducts traffic analysis By Dan Jensen
The number of vehicle collisions dropped by six to 670 in 2013 according to a Camrose Police Service traffic analysis. Thirty-six of the collisions involved injuries, up from 28 in 2012, while 526 resulted in property damage over $2,000, down by one from 2012. One hundred and eight collisions involved property damage under $2,000, down from 121 in 2012. The total number of on highway collisions in 2013 was 382, a decrease of 13 per cent from the 441 recorded the year previous. “Police laid charges in 179 of the 382 (42 per cent) on highway collisions,
compared to 166 of the 441 (38 per cent) in 2012,” said Const. Michael Custer, traffic unit, who prepared the analysis. “The traffic unit member has been providing updated annual collision training to patrol members since 2011, which enhanced their investigative abilities at collisions and increased enforcement. The increased enforcement has acted as a deterrent and continues to assist in the prevention of future collisions.” On highway collisions which resulted in injury increased to 32, up from 22 in 2012. Hit and run collisions totalled 183, up from 177 in 2012, while pedestrian and bicycle collisions totalled
eight (up from seven) and five (up from three) respectively. Reasons
One hundred and thirty nine of the collisions involved backing when unsafe, while 89 were the result of drivers failing to properly stop, yield at intersections, traffic light violations and turning violations. “Traffic and patrol members will continue to monitor several intersections identified through statistical data for these violations to help reduce similar collisions in 2014,” said Custer. The number of non criminal traffic offences decreased by 18 per cent to 9,411, with moving violations dropping
19 per cent from 10,346 to 8,384 and non moving violations dropping 11 per cent from 981 to 872. “Effective enforcement strategies will again be an important factor as part of the 2014 Traffic Plan to ensure the number of reported collisions continues to reduce in subsequent years,” said Custer. Road conditions were noted to be a factor in 46 per cent of the collisions, while weather conditions were noted to be a factor in 11 per cent of collisions. Criminal offences
The number of criminal offences (roadside suspensions, impaired, failing to provide, disqualified)
decreased by a total of 11 per cent, from 236 to 211. “Enforcement strategies such as enhanced police patrols, enhanced CheckStops, Curb the Danger Program, Bill 26 legislation, monthly initiatives in relation to the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program and proactive enforcement have had a positive impact on reducing impaired driving and roadside suspensions,” said Custer. “Since 2011, roadside suspensions have decreased 56 per cent and impaired driving charges 16 per cent (97 in 2011 to 81 in 2013).” The number of disqualified driving charges increased 61 per cent from last year.

Violet Johnston February 22, 1919 – May 28, 2014 On May 28, 2014, Violet Johnston had breakfast as usual, then dropped off for a little sleep – from which she did not awaken. She passed away unexpectedly and peacefully in her bed at the Herbert & District Integrated Health Facility where she had resided since 2006. The graveside service with Rev. Doyle Klaassen officiating took place on June 12, 2014 in Memory Gardens, Swift Current. Warren’s Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. The extended family met again later that day to share memories, enjoy a picture presentation of Violet’s life, while hymns she had loved were playing in the background (“It is Well with my Soul” and “I’ve got a Mansion Just Over the Hilltop”). Violet Tuttle was born on her parents’ farm at Beverley, SK. She attended the Silver Craig School. As a young adult, she enrolled at Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, AB, graduating in 1941. While conducting Summer Vacation Bible School for children in the Strome/Daysland area in 1940, she met and fell in love with Kenneth Bridger. They were married on June 12, 1941 in a quiet ceremony in Ken’s home with Rev. Lee officiating. Ken and Violet farmed near Wavy Lake, north of Strome, until 1946 when they bought a farm south of Highway 13, four miles east of Daysland. This became home to their five children: Russell, Lucille, Richard, Louise and Lorraine. Her husband Ken passed away of a stroke at age 47 in 1966. Bravely, Violet continued to hold the family together and run the farm. In 1968, with renters in place, she moved to Pambrun, SK where she found employment as a cook at Millar College of the Bible. From 1970 to 2004, she was married to Winston Johnston. Together, they resided first in Swift Current, then back on the farm in Alberta, and in Strome, Daysland and Medicine Hat. Violet spent her last years with Louise and Norm Kihn on the Sunshine Coast in BC and with Mickeal and Lorraine Berteig on the farm near Hallonquist, SK. Needing more care, she moved into the Herbert Manor in 2005. However, after falling and breaking her hip, she entered the Herbert & District Integrated Heath Facility where she remained until her passing. During this time Lorraine and her family lovingly cared for Violet from a distance, countless times travelling those many country miles from Hallonquist to visit, care for and encourage – and to enjoy being with their mother and grandmother. Mourning her passing, while relieved that her suffering is over, are daughter-in-law Anna Thebeau, Camrose, AB; daughter Lucille Klaassen (Doyle), Abbotsford, BC, son Richard (Linda), Red Deer, AB, daughter Louise Kihn (Norm), Garden Bay, BC, and daughter Lorraine Berteig (Mike), Hallonguist, SK; as well as 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Violet was predeceased by her father Leroy Tuttle in 1967, mother Lillian Tuttle in 1972, brother Floy in 1983, brother Warren in 1991, brother Leslie in 1992, sister Iva Powers in 2009 and son Russell in 2008. At an early age, Violet placed her trust firmly in Jesus Christ and was known as a happy Christian whose faith permeated every aspect of her life. Daily, she would read the Bible and pray to God. For many years, she was a mainstay in the little Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Daysland. Granddaughter Anna Bridger actually spoke for the entire family when she wrote: “To the sweetest lady I ever knew. We love you soooo much, Grandma, and will miss you greatly!” And a friend of the family in extending condolences honored Violet with these words: “I have so many memories of your Mom, and the one that stands out the most was her desire to serve the Lord.”

Sorensen has words of advice for CCHS grads Excerpts from the speech delivered by Niel Sorensen to Camrose Composite High School graduates at the Camrose Regional Exhibition May 9. There are Rs that I think apply to most people in their life journey. These three Rs I believe are very necessary for a successful life. The first of these three Rs is risk. As you leave this place and begin to prepare for some large changes that will be coming in the next months, there will be many risks involved. I have already had visits from several of you and we have spoken of the fears and anxieties you have as you are going on to live in new places away from your parents, as you begin new schooling opportunities in big cities, as you perhaps begin new jobs. Your lives are going to look very different within the next year! A famous author, Anna Quindlen, said, “Carry your courage in an easily accessible place, the way you do your cell phone or your wallet. Courage is the ultimate career move!” It is going to require a lot of courage in the next few months and years as you begin to create the life that you have been dreaming of. Some call it chutzpah, some call it moxie and Austin Powers would call it your mojo. Regardless, there is going to be risk and it is going to be scary. It will require leaping before you can look sometimes.. I thought back to when I was your age all those years ago. I left high school and was doing university in the years when Rod Stewart was singing “Do You Think I’m Sexy” and Gloria Gaynor was belting out the disco anthem “I Will Survive.” I found my personal soundtrack was leaning a little closer to Gloria than Rod. As I left high school and began university I remember my fear and trepidation. I wanted to be an actor, my parents were not so keen on this concept. I acquiesed and went to university but felt still dabbled with being a professional actor. Doors opened and risks presented themselves. I soon discovered that my plans, no matter how well laid, were not going to go as smoothly as I thought. I made many changes during that time and it was a turbulent time as I switched from one program to another. Being a teacher had always been on the books and I had always thought that would be great. It was yet another risk. After much soul searching I finally closed a number of doors and
CCHS graduation speaker Niel Sorensen
jumped. Thirty five years later I am not sorry I made that jump. To get to that place, however, was very scary, and I remember how much sleep I lost and how worried I was during those days. It was not an easy time and I didn’t make it any easier for those who cared about me, as my parents and I had some rather intense disagreements. So much so that I remember that time clearly all these years later. Remember that you are not a finished work. You are a work in progress. When you begin that new job, that new school, remember that you must start at the bottom. You must work hard to work your way up. It will be a matter of attitude. You must learn to take risks, face rejection, and learn resilience. Risk, however, while not fun, forces you to make a decision and move forward. Make that jump and see where you land. We all must face that edge and take that jump. That is a part of life and adulthood and it can’t be avoided. Don’t let risk deter you or stop you. Step out! Go for it. T.S. Eliot wrote “Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.”
The second R is rejection, and its close cousin, failure. No matter how hard you try you are going to experience rejection and you are going to fail. Life is going to take turns that you did not expect and you will experience rejection and failure. Sometimes it will be because of something you did and sometimes it will be some unfortunate set of circumstances that you’ve been caught in. It will be one of those “How in heaven’s name did I get here? What is that all about?” When I was thirty-two I was given my first cancer diagnosis. Little did I know then what a journey it was to become. It started as a small spot on my nose which was particularly stubborn. After a number of treatments that didn’t ultimately remove the thing, one of the oncologists got out a stainless steel dremel tool and an ominous looking wire wheel that would have looked at home at the Home Depot and the tumour succumbed rather quickly.! That was a rather severe learning curve, I’m here to tell you. Thinking that was that, it was only a short time later that the cancer was found elsewhere and, as they say, “we were off to the races.” Many years later, and multiple invasive surgeries, multiple parts removed and trips out of the country for intense treatments, the journey goes on. That was not what I had planned, I’m here to tell you. I had an entirely different agenda
planned, it was not to be. I had much to learn and I had to make some serious adjustments in my world. I had to re-learn many things about life that I had come to take for granted. I had many attitude adjustments to face. It was not easy. There was a lot of rejection, a lot of anger, and a lot of failure and frustration in those dark days. When I was told I would die of it by the time I was 40 and my health began to deteriorate rapidly, it was a very dark time. The disease took its toll on every part of my body, my mind and my entire world. I remember once giving Terry Fox’s mother flowers when she came to visit Charlie Killam School years after Terry had died and I weighed about 144 pounds at that time. I was getting very sick and preparing to die. She told me very simply that I must not give up, under any circumstance! You fight and you keep fighting. There is no other option. They were simple words, but coming from her they had great impact and I remember them to this day. They were an integral part of survival at that time. My point in this is that it was work. Hard work! This many years later the journey still continues and I am still having to learn new things. Now, your world is going to experience its own struggles. And yours are going to be as difficult and challenging for you. They will be different from my struggles or the person’s sitting beside you. Regardless, we all must face what life throws at us. It will not be easy. How you do that will be unique to each of you. This brings me to my third R – resilience. The ability to bounce back! The ability to take what comes when you take that risk. The ability to bounce back when you face failure and rejection and unsurmountable obstacles. Resilience involves courage and facing what is coming at you. Resilience frequently requires digging deep, deep inside, deeper than you’ve ever dug before, enduring unpleasant circumstances and putting off things today for a better tomorrow when the goal is achieved. It often requires new learning, uncomfortable learning. This R – resilience – is a very important one. One of the first steps in understanding resilience is knowing your place. You have been raised to believe that you are special and unique. Indeed, you are to your parents, your teachers and those who love you. As you look around you,
however, you will see many others who are also special and unique. There are thousands of special and unique people graduating from Alberta high schools these next two months. My question to you is what will you do when you get out there in the world to be truly special? Remember that you are not a finished work. You are a work in progress. When you begin that new job, that new school, remember that you must start at the bottom. You must work hard to work your way up. It will be a matter of attitude. You must learn to take risks, face rejection, and learn resilience. Why me? Why not me? Your attitude regarding all these things will make all the difference. If you are too big for the small jobs, you are too small for the big ones. This is how you start becoming resilient, Your life will be much richer when you learn these truths. As I’ve continued my journey, I, too had to learn these lessons. I have been blessed by the many people in my world who have been so supportive and helpful, more often than not these people have been my students. There have been many days where students arriving with KFC or my favourite, Starbuck’s white chocolate mocha, have completely reordered my world. They didn’t know it but their many kind and thoughtful gestures, their endless teasings about my lack of hair, my purple fetish and the agony of the five hundred pound purple binder have all been medicine far greater than what any doctor would have prescribed. You’ve made a huge difference in my own path to understanding resilience. For that I owe my students a great debt of gratitude for all they’ve given back to me. In conclusion, you will be facing your own risks, rejections and possible resiliency in the near future. What you do with all of this will be your choice. You will have to learn to embrace the challenges, not run from them. How you do that will be different for each one of you. On behalf of your teachers and everyone else gathered here, we wish you every success possible. I hope you find the future you have been dreaming of. As you celebrate your accomplishments this weekend, please, please be safe. We want to see you back in school safe and sound next week. Thank you so much for the honour of sharing this time with you.

Chevy Trax An entry to SUV market
Graeme Davidson By Dan Jensen
The 2014 Chevrolet Trax at McClellan Wheaton Buick GMC in Camrose is creating quite the stir. Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and carlike handling that urban explorers around the world require. "Trax is an important addition to the Chevrolet portfolio in Canada," said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC dealer principal Will McClellan. "We believe Trax will be a popular choice with Canadians looking for the convenience and utility offered by a small SUV, which will be ideal to drive in urban centres and cities across Canada." Standard EcoTec engine With a standard 1.4 litre turbocharged ECOTEC engine, Trax gets you around and about the streets with full authority. Its output is a spirited 138 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque. So what is the advantage of turbocharging? It directs substantially
more air into each cylinder, enabling it to optimize each combustion cycle, while an intercooler cools the charged air entering the engine, allowing for more complete combustion and greater power output. Yet unlike many other turbocharged engines, the ECOTEC runs on regular fuel. Turbocharging not only increases output, it also makes Trax remarkably fuel efficient, with 7.8 litres per 100 km city and 5.7 litres per 100 km highway ratings. Maximum grip Trax's confident handling is the product of a wide stance and a series of driver control technologies that include standard StabiliTrak four-wheel ABS with Panic Brake Assist and Hill Hold Assist. An available ondemand All-Wheel Drive system automatically adapts to changing road conditions, improving traction by sending power to the wheels with the most grip. The system reverts to front-wheel drive mode, improving fuel efficiency, when the added traction isn't required. That helps
Trax earn its place as one of the most fuel efficient AWD vehicles on the road. Plenty of storage Trax has conveniently located storage areas within easy reach of the driver, including one in the middle of the instrument panel. When it comes time to move serious cargo, you'll find it easy to reconfigure the interior, thanks to the 60/40 flip-and-fold rear seat and fold-flat front passenger seat. With the rear seat folded down, Trax opens up a generous 1,371 litres of maximum cargo space. Keeping you entertained If you think of music as an essential part of driving, you'll find Trax has all your favourite tracks. All LT and LTZ models feature a standard CD player, MP3 playback and Bluetooth audio streaming. Choose the available Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 interactive sound system and you can access your music and apps – such as Stitcher SmartRadio – directly from your smartphone. A 178 mm colour
touch radio screen acts as the hub, although you can also use steering-wheelmounted controls to make selections. For the ultimate Trax listening experience, choose the available Premium Bose six-speaker sound system that includes an amplifier. The city landscape has its own share of hazards. So you should take comfort in the knowledge that Trax includes 10 standard airbags – the most in its class 4. Count 'em: dual stage front airbags, knee airbags, and side-impact seat-mounted airbags for the driver and front passenger, plus side-impact seat-mounted outboard rear seat airbags and head curtain side airbags for outboard seating positions. Add the peace of mind that accompanies the standard OnStar system that includes six months of the Directions & Connections Plan with Turn-by-Turn Navigation and RemoteLink. Also included is Automatic Crash Response that can automatically contact an OnStar advisor when a col-
lision occurs to help direct emergency service providers to your exact location. Impressive warranty Driving worry-free is key to fully enjoying the pleasures of owning a new Chevrolet. Whether it’s zipping across town or taking on a monumental road trip, you can set off knowing that every new Chevrolet is covered by a new vehicle limited warranty, GM Roadside Assistance and courtesy transportation. And for even greater peace of mind and coverage, Chevrolet also offers several available Protection Plans designed to suit your own driving needs. Trax adds to an already impressive Chevrolet portfolio in Canada, including the award-winning Cruze and recently launched, cityfriendly Sonic compact car and versatile Orlando small crossover. See the 2014 Chevrolet Trax at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Traffic analysis Continued from page 30
“A disqualified/suspended driver apprehension program was developed by Camrose Police Service to monitor suspended drivers and actively enforce violations,” said Custer. The Curb the Danger program received 222 calls in 2013, resulting in 108 vehicles being intercepted by police and the laying of 47 charges, including 24 for impaired driving. Evaluation of the program shows that the highest call volume for possible reported impaired drivers is between the times of 12 and 2:59 a.m. on Saturday morning. “The program has been very successful,” said Custer. Police checked 5,987 vehicles in 50 checkstops in 2013. “The intent of the program is to deter and change public attitude towards drinking and driving rather than just convictions,” said Custer. “The vast majority of the public provide positive reaction to the CheckStop program.” Of the total number of drivers charged with impaired driving in 2013, 70 were male and 12 female. The average breath sample reading was approximately twice the legal limit for male drivers, and 170 mg for female drivers. Location of collisions
A total of 130 collisions occurred at intersections in 2013, compared to 86 in 2012. “This can be traffic issues related to a growing city with more vehicles, road construction, and poor driving habits,” said Custer. “Provincially, the three main causes for collisions are: unsafe left turn across the path of an on-coming vehicle, stop sign violations or disobeying traffic control devices. These types of collisions are preventable.” The Camrose Police Service, as a partner in the Alberta Occupant Restraint Program, will again be targeting those who choose not to buckle up. The Provincial Selective Traffic Enforcement Program identifies March and October as Restraint Months. Police will also be working with the MADD Canada chapter in Camrose, educate the public about the number of preventable collisions caused by distracted driving, and continue to operate photo radar in school zones to assist youth in safely travelling to and from school. “Reducing speed reduces the distance a vehicle will travel while an operator perceives and reacts to a threat,” said Custer. “The lower speed will also reduce the amount of distance required for a vehicle to stop once the operator has taken evasive action.”

Etiquette involved in flying a Canadian flag Submitted by Buffy da Silva, Opening Ceremonies Coordinator, Canada Day 2014
Our Canada Day celebrations are fast approaching. On July 1, we will gather at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum grounds to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences, at which the principles of confederation were established. However, it wasn’t until 1964 that then Prime Minister of Canada, the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, informed the House of Commons of the government’s desire to adopt a distinctive national flag for Canada. He personally proposed a flag with three maple leaves between two blue borders. After reviewing the hundreds of designs submitted by experts and other Canadians, the Senate and House of Commons commit-
The Canadian Flag should be given the place of honour when flown or displayed with other flags. When three flags are flown together, the Canadian flag should be in the middle, with the next ranking flag (provincial) to the left and the third ranking flag (corporate) to the right. tee, which had been established by the government to consider the flag proposal, set about classifying the designs. After having eliminated various designs, the committee was left with only three: a red ensign with the fleurde-lys and the Royal Union Flag (Union Jack), a threeleaf design, and a single red maple leaf on a white square on a red flag. The singleleaf design was adopted unanimously by the committee on October 29, 1964. It was proclaimed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on January 28, 1965, and was inaugurated on February 16, 1965, at an official ceremony held on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. These words, spoken on that momentous day
by the Hon. Maurice Bourget, Speaker of the Senate, added deeper meaning to the occasion: “The flag is the symbol of the nation’s unity, for it, beyond any doubt, represents all the citizens of Canada without distinction of race, language, belief or opinion” (preceding paragraph excerpted from website www.pch.gc.ca. The Canadian Flag can be flown or displayed by individuals and organizations. Most often, the Canadian Flag is flown from sunrise to sunset but it is not contrary to etiquette to have the flag flying at night. It may be displayed flat or flown on a pole. If flat, it may be hung horizontally or vertically. When it hangs vertically against
a wall, the top of the leaf should be to the left and the stem to the right. When it is used on a speaker’s platform at a meeting, the flag should be located to the right of the speaker. When not on the platform, the flag should be located to the right of the audience. It should not be used to cover a speaker’s table or be draped in front of the platform. It should never touch the floor. The Canadian Flag should be given the place of honour when flown or displayed with other flags. When three flags are flown together, the Canadian flag should be in the middle, with the next ranking flag (provincial) to the left and the third ranking flag (cor-
porate) to the right. In a parade, where several flags are carried, the Canadian Flag should be in the position of honour at the marching right or at the centre. On land, no flag, banner or pennant should be displayed above the Canadian Flag. Flags flown together should be approximately the same size and flown from separate poles at the same height. No flag should be larger than the Canadian Flag. There are more rules of etiquette for flying the Canadian Flag including half-masting, destruction and rules for ships and boats. Refer to the website mentioned above for full details. If you are flying a flag at your home or business, please ensure it is in good repair, properly displayed and treated in a respectful manner. In 2015, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of our beautiful national flag.

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.

St. Mary’s Hospital guests signed a wall poster during the 90th anniversary celebration.
St. Mary’s joins health care in celebration By Murray Green
Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose celebrated 90 years of health care at the same time as the 150th anniversary of Catholic health care in Alberta on June 13. A special mass was held in the hospital’s chapel to honour both milestones. New stained glass windows and fabric art were unveiled, and a new alter and lectern were commissioned. “The stained glass windows, designed and made by Patti Lindstrand, depict our flora and landscape around Camrose. The fabric art was made and designed by Vivianne Trombley Grue, We also asked Ron Grue to create an altar and lectern and his workmanship and craftsmanship is a beautiful addition to the chapel,” said Alan Heyhurst, chair of the community and foundation boards at St. Mary’s Hospital. “It is more comforting for our patients, staff and visitors.” John Brennan, Covenant Health chair shared in the ceremony. “We need places like this for compilation,” said Brennan. “It allows us to take deep breaths to provide some clarity to stay within ourselves. It is good to celebrate something much greater and bigger than this universe. The Sisters before us through their very active traversing across the prairies and setting up hospitals, orphanages and schools created spaces for sacredness. They were built from bricks and mortar, but what bound them together was love, faith and hope, and a deep understanding of the human spirit.” That human spirit is still present today. “It is that same understanding of the human spirit that I have witnessed in the Covenant Health staff,” said Brennan. “Our staff offer grace and healing to those they serve. This is the gift the Sisters left as a legacy that we are proud to continue.” “The celebration of 150 years is remarkable when you consider that the province itself is going to be a youthful 109 years old this fall,” said Vickie Kaminski, president of Alberta Health Services. “We are able to celebrate today because of the compassion and dedication demonstrated by congregations of Sisters before us. It took a lot of courage, as well as faith.” Camrose site administrator Cherylyn Antymniuk thanked her staff. “This care would not be possible without the dedication of our staff, physicians, volunteers and the support of each and everyone of you in this room.” St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose was founded by the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul in 1924.

On the final day, Drayton Valley will play Sherwood Park in the early game and Spruce Grove will challenge Camrose in the evening match. Hosting the event was excited news for Kodiaks coach and general manager Boris Rybalka. But, he received even better news. “With the help of Hockey Canada we have the Denmark national junior team coming to Camrose. This is
the team that will play in the World Junior Championships at Christmas in Montreal and Toronto,” said Rybalka. “This will be very exciting for the players and fans to have the opportunity to play and see a team of this calibre and stature. They will be touring and training in Canada in preparation to the World Junior tournament.” All games will be at the EnCana Arena in Camrose except for one game that will be played in Lloydminster against the Kodiaks. The second tournament will be held Aug. 29 to 31. On Friday at 3 p.m. Camrose meets Bonnyville. At 7 p.m., Denmark faces Lloydminster.

On Sunday, the highlight of the exhibition series will occur at 7 p.m. when Denmark battles Camrose at the EnCana Arena. “There will be a lot of scouts coming to Camrose for the last week in August,” added Rybalka. Many NCAA,
WHL and NHL scouts will be here to see what type of talent is on the ice.” Tickets will go on sale for this event on Aug. 1 at the Kodiaks office from 1 to 4 p.m. Trade complete
The Camrose Kodiaks have finished a deal with the Okotoks Oilers from last season. Okotoks owed Camrose a player and sent the Canadian Hockey Association rights to goaltender Keelan Williams (1996). “He played with Okotoks last year and he has signed a Western Hockey League contract with the Kootenay Ice and is going there this year. We knew he was going to Kootenay, but when you make a deal you always take the best player available,” said Rybalka. Kodiak fans will be able to see Keelan in August before he departs for Kootenay. The Kodiaks’ main camp starts on Aug. 19 and some players will be in Camrose for fitness tests on July 5.

Peters joins NHL’s New Jersey Devils By Murray Green
First former Vikings coach Mike Johnston accepted the head coaching position with the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 25. Then Bill Peters, a former Camrose Lutheran College player under Johnston, was named coach of the Carolina Hurricanes on June 26. Carolina general manager Ron Francis announced that Peters will be the 13th coach in Carolina Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers history, the fourth since the franchise relocated to North Carolina. Peters was an assistant coach with the Detroit Red Wings from 2011-14 under former Red Deer Kings coach Mike Babcock. The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, of which the Augustana Vikings are a member, is a hot bed for coaches to use in a step towards a job in the National Hockey League. Peters led the Rockford Ice Hogs to two 40-win seasons and consecutive playoff berths during his three seasons as coach of the Chicago Blackhawks’ American Hockey League affiliate.
He also won the 2008 Memorial Cup and Western Hockey League championship in his third and final season with the Spokane Chiefs. Peters coached the U18 Team Canada that included Taylor Hall, Ryan O’Reilly, Brayden Schenn, Evander Kane and Matt Duchene to a gold medal at the 2008 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. After playing hockey in Camrose, he played one game with the San Antonio Iguanas of the now-defunct Central Hockey League in 1994-95; he had one goal and two assists. Peters started coaching for the University of Lethbridge from 2002-05. He spent parts of four seasons with Spokane as an assistant to Red Wings coach Babcock. Peters was also interviewed by the Florida Panthers for their coaching vacancy. The Three Hills born coach now takes over from Kirk Muller, who failed to get the team into the playoffs.
