Alberta’s debt clock keeps on ticking By Murray Green
There is an old saying that nothing is for sure except death and taxes. Now you can add debt to that list. Taxes won’t be going down anytime soon with the province reaching $10 billion in debt and climbing. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) brought its 12-foot long Debt Clock to Mirror Lake Centre July 16 to show just how much Alberta’s debt has grown since Premier Klein declared it to be paid in full 10 years ago. The clock is being toured to 25 different communities in hopes that politicians will take a firm stance on getting the province’s finances back under control. “Making our great province debt-free once again is the number one priority for the CTF in Alberta right now,” said CTF Alberta director, Derek Fildebrandt. “We are going to take the fight to as many towns and cities as we can to rally support and put the heat on politicians to take a stance.” At 8 p.m. on Thursday, July 10, Alberta’s debt moved past the $10 billion mark. “Since Thursday, we have borrowed another $73 million. Alberta’s debt is projected to reach $21 billion by 2016-17 and consume $1.4 billion a year in interest payments. The debt will increase by $4.7 billion in the fiscal year 2014-15. That is $1.4 billion that doesn’t go to roads, building schools, or building bridges,” stated Fildebrandt. “That’s $1.4 billion that is going to the banks. We will never, ever, see that money again. That amount, or higher will be every single year until the debt is paid off.”
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta director Derek Fildebrandt and Camrose resident Howard Nordin encourage Albertans to stop the debt clock from ticking.
With the debt going up $150 per second, the time for change is now. “Ten years ago we saw the culmination of a lot of sacrifice from Albertans, but we got there,” said Fildebrandt. “The Alberta Advantage has died a very painful death. Since then our government has frittered away the Alberta Advantage to the point where we have spent the bulk of the Sustainability Fund and hold $10 billion in debt and growing.” Alberta’s tax base will have to rise $2,467 for every
man, women and child in order to balance the debt as of last week unless something is done soon. “It’s not fair or responsible. We have to restrain from spending, or raise taxes. It has to be one or the other,” said Fildebrandt. “I don’t think we need to raise taxes. Our taxes are competitive, but they won’t be unless we do something. We are going to be crowded out on interest payments.” The CTF is inviting local MLAs to take a Balanced
Budget and Debt Free Alberta Pledge as it visits communities. Wildrose finance critic Rob Anderson and Liberal finance critic Kent Hehr signed the pledge with Fildebrandt in Calgary and Wildrose Opposition Leader Danielle Smith signed the pledge in High River. “We want MLAs to take a stand and fix our debt and stop the debt clock,” said Fildebrandt. “Ten MLAs have signed the pledge from the Wildrose and Liberal parties. We want pledges to stop the clock.”
The current government MLAs haven’t accounted for the debt, or signed the pledge to end it. “Premier Ralph Klein left a legacy of a debt free province and we can’t find anyone from his party to stand behind his accomplishment,” said Fildebrandt. “I think that is very sad.” CTF said the government has to stop spending and spread out the capital plan of four years over five years instead.
New transportation strategy ready to be unveiled By Dan Jensen
The wraps are about to be taken off the new longterm transportation study for Alberta. Alberta Transportation strategy policy branch executive director Dr. Ross Danyluk told members of the Association for Life-wide Living of Alberta July 17 that a draft of the strategy will be presented to an executive committee within Alberta Transportation this week and should be in the hands of Transportation Minister Wayne Drysdale in August. “He (Drysdale) is very excited to see what we have,” said Danyluk. “We have been bringing him updates but now we are getting ready to be able to pass him a strategy that you helped craft. “Once the Minister is ready he will be taking it through the government approval process.” The strategy was crafted with the help of more than 900 Albertans at 18 consul-
tation sessions throughout the province starting this past January. Online consultations were held in April and May in which individuals and organizations were invited to participate and provide their feedback. “We were pleased that over 900 attended,” said Danyluk. “We found it surprising that just under fifty per cent of that 900 came from rural and smaller rural areas. Calgary was very small in attendance. Edmonton was good but we had more people in some of the smaller areas.” The strategy’s purpose is to provide a vision for Alberta’s transportation system over the next 50 years, as well as an overarching direction to help guide government decisions on transportation investments, policies and programs. According to a Government of Alberta news release, it will “help build a world-class transportation network that is safe,
sustainable and innovative, and that supports a high quality of life for Albertans.” “This isn’t about local projects or one-off decisions,” said Minister Drysdale in January. “Alberta is taking a forward-thinking approach in developing a strategy that will help secure Alberta’s economic and environmental future for the next 50 years.” Danyluk said the strategy will help the government address many of its current challenges, whether it those be building and maintaining more than 32,000 km of highway infrastructure for a population that is growing by about 100,000, ensuring the infrastructure is in place for farmers to get their crops to the coast in a timely fashion, making roads safer for drivers, or increasing the ability of rural residents to get to larger centres. “This is not an Alberta Transportation study, this is a Government of Alberta strategy that Alberta Trans-
portation is leading. This will be very closely tied to health, to agriculture and to all the other ministries, environment, to make sure we are in alignment with what we are doing. We also have a transportation policy coordinating committee, which is a group of policy and strategic planning professionals from eight of the 18 ministries that touch transportation the closest that is working on the (strategy’s) gory details.” Danyluk said Alberta Transportation has undergone a renewal and is now taking a different approach to the way it does business and focusing more on the needs of Albertans as they emerge and how to meet those needs, rather than simply engineering and building more infrastructure. “It is a real difficult sell for many in our department,” he said. “For 100 years we looked at building stuff and we went ahead and built it. When we were asked why
we built it sometimes the only answer was ‘because’. Building more is not simply the answer. It is building it smarter and focusing on what people need. We are putting more emphasis on the soft issues, which is people and quality of life.” The focus on safety is crucial to the government considering the number of Albertans who are killed on highways every year. “There are 350 Albertans are killed on highways every year,” said Danyluk. “Under the old way that was seen as the cost of doing business. If a jumbo jet with 350 passengers crashed every year the safety issues would be called into question around the world. Safety and security is front and centre.” The change in approach is good news for ALL, which has long been advocating that the government pay greater attention to the transportation needs of rural residents.

More time to pay advances By Dan Jensen
Camrose area crop producers who have been unable to sell their crops due to rail transportation challenges now have more time to repay their 2013 cash advances under the Advance Payments Program (APP). A six month Stay of Default (to March 31, 2015) on the repayment of advances producers received through the Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) on their 2013 crops was announced by federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz July 10. “This extra time will give producers a bit of breath-

Transportation strategy Continued from page 4
Jane Ross, who is president of ALL, drew Danyluk’s attention to the Canadian constitution, which emphasizes the need for government to provide services to everyone that are affordable and accessible. “I am surprised there hasn’t been a class action suit against the government in this regard,” said Ross. ALL member Bob Silverthorne noted that while moving grain and building pipelines is important it is equally important to look after the needs of people who need to get to meet with specialists in the larger centres. He added that having the government’s ear on rural matters is vital. “The fact that Greyhound determined that a rural route was not viable shows that what there is has to be augmented. We almost need a white knight to ride in to gather all the parties and make something happen.” ALL will be having a meeting with government officials from a number of different ministries July 22 to explain its concerns about rural transportation and share the results of the Highway 21 transportation project involving Camrose County and the Bashaw Bus Society. ALL member Ted Wigglesworth told Danyluk that a comprehensive plan needs to be developed that will provide greater rural connectivity with Edmonton and other centres. He said there are many residents of rural areas who are crying out for increased transportation, including Mattie Dyer, who commented to an ALL researcher that it is possible to get from another country to Edmonton but it is not possible to get from Edmonton to Edberg. City councillor Bill Sears questioned if Alberta Transportation could assist the City of Camrose by providing the expertise that is needed to start a public transportation system. “Council wants to know the cost of operating a system,” said Sears. “How do we come up with that and what would it cost to run for three years.” Silverthorne said the aging in place that the provincial government is talking about is not possible without a proper rural transportation system.

Managing your diabetes Local residents working to manage pre-diabetes and Type 2 diabetes are invited to a free Alberta Health Services (AHS) information session. Diabetes The Basics is a six-hour group session offered by AHS professionals who share their expertise, provide information and encourage discussions that can help participants better manage their condition. The session is offered to people at risk of developing diabetes, as well as those who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or Type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes The Basics will be held August 14 and September 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Briarcrest Room at Camrose Public Health – 5510-46 Avenue. For more information, or to register, please call 1-877-314-6997. Participants will learn about: • Diabetes myths and facts. • Progression of diabetes. • Healthy eating with diabetes. • Blood glucose monitoring and control. • Medications for diabetes.
• What to do during an illness. • Benefits of keeping active. • Adopting a healthy lifestyle. Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.
I am writing this letter in hopes that others will come forward to protest the barricades at the corners of 50 Avenue and 64 Street and 49 Avenue and 64 Street. If you are directly or indirectly affected by them, please contact Wayne Franklin, City engineer, at 780672-4428 or wfranklin@camrose.ca so your protest can be put on record. I understand the barricades will remain until the end of the year, at which time the issue will be brought before council again to determine if they remain or are removed. I want to publicly thank Mayor Mayer for his kindness to me when I spoke against the barricades at the June 9 council meeting. City council meetings can be viewed live on Community 10 Television on Mondays at 5 p.m. Phone City Hall for future meeting dates. I want also to thank the people who heard my talk and phoned after the meeting to tell me how impressed they were with my presentation. I received positive phone calls after my letter appeared in the Booster. Do I complain when hundreds or more vehicles pass under or nearby open apartment windows on a daily basis as they enter or leave the parking area at Sunrise Village? Do I complain when I hear the traffic on 48 Avenue (Highway 13) all day and all night long? Do I complain when the southeast winds bring the smell of sewage into my apartment at 3 a.m. (which has been happening quite often in the last three weeks)? My answer is no. Windows can be closed. How accurate really is a traffic counter? Why couldn’t a disgruntled resident cross over it many times just to raise the number? Perhaps photo radar would have given a much truer picture. If the residents on 49 Avenue think they can keep others from using their roadway they need to think twice. I am still travelling
on 49 Avenue, even if it is a bit further to get there, and I am encouraging others to do likewise. Just enter the huge parking lot at Peavey Mart, exit onto the service road at Joey’s Only, east to 64 Street (corner of Stockman’s Chophouse), and then you have access to the back alley behind City police, 48A Avenue, 48B Avenue, and still 49 Avenue to get to Grand Drive, unless councillors vote to install even more ridiculous barricades. On my way to Centra Cam Recycling recently I decided to travel on 48 Avenue to Grand Drive. There was so much traffic going west and so many vehicles before me waiting to turn onto Grand Drive that I sat for a full ten minutes before I could make the turn. How will this affect taxis and their customers? Will fares have to increase to cover the added expense to the taxis of having to sit and idle for much more time when they could travel more quickly on 49 Avenue? So please contact City Hall. You will have the grateful thanks of many Camrosians. Marilyn Henderson, Camrose Summer bugs
Summer is now up on us for a very short season. There were a few things which I have noticed around the community which seem to really bug me. I am not sure if these bother me only. The number of potholes which are on 48 Avenue are very bothersome. When one hits these potholes over and over, it does add to the repairs which have to be done to the cars we drive. I am not sure if this is done on purpose to increase business to the repair auto shops, but if it was, it would make perfect sense to me. So, what I am trying to say is for the City to please get these pot holes filled in soon. I have noticed that there have been letters being written in about the street blocks which are found on 49 Avenue in the 64 block and 50 Avenue in the 64 block. I do agree with all of those people who have written in that this is not a help. Whoever came up with the thought that this sort of action would help with traffic control really should have thought that out just a little bit better. This is not fair to those who pay taxes and who live on those streets to have their access taken away. This does not only affect those streets but those around the entire area. So, I also ask that these blocks be removed. Continued on page 14

w w w. j i m p r e n t i ce. c a
I have also noticed that there are a lot of new strip malls and other new businesses being allowed to be built. Yet I believe there is a huge mall which looks like it needs to be helped to make sure that all of their spaces are filled. I attended that mall when I was a child and have many memories of it. I am not sure if there is anything which can be done. It is just sad to see the place getting more empty as the years go by. Maybe it is just one of the changes which we as a society are making. Maybe malls are beginning to become a thing of the past? I am not sure what to think about that. I remember the drive in being a top form of entertainment. Now they are only a faint memory which one can see photos of in a museum. Another thing is the drive-in at A&W which I remember going to as a child. Now, they are also a thing of the past which one can see in a museum. It is sad to see places sit empty while new places are being built. Maybe this is a sign of progress? Who knows? I do wish everybody a great summer. Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose Barricades not solution
I am 34 years old and have lived in Camrose all my life, and can remember my parents both driving down the roads that are now barricaded off because of some very concerned residents living along these roads. There are always ways to deal with traf-
fic and barricading off a road is not one of them. I know for a fact that these residents will travel on the same roads that go through other neighbourhoods that are considered a “shortcut” to get themselves to their destination quicker. Why? Because it consumes less gas, takes less time and the road is there for ALL taxpayers to use at their convenience. Despite having some issues with the odd loud vehicle which could be driven by the young or the old, the increased amount of traffic in a city that is growing is normal and therefore is a good thing as it shows good economic growth. If we barricaded every road that has increased traffic we would soon find our commute to work, school, church very cumbersome. I too believe that the barricades should be removed as it is a huge waste of money, just like putting solar panels on the north side of the new performing arts centre where the sun never shines. Jason Sharkey, Camrose Barricade Issue
The barricades which are currently in place on 49 Avenue are outlandish and have caused mass frustration for many citizens of Camrose (myself included). These barricades are restricting access to public roads. These barricades serve as a prime example that some people must be more equal than others. As a citizen of Camrose for 20 years and a resident of Grandview Crescent there is no reason why these roads should be inaccessible
to myself and the people of Camrose. This is ridiculous, please remove them. Duncan McDougall, Camrose More traffic
The residents of Grand Drive West deserve a quieter, safer neighbourhood than the arterial property value lowering mess it has become. I have cautiously used this transit many times to go golfing or shopping. Sighting residents was rare but congratulations as they must be delighted the City has taken this essential and very beneficial restorative action. I sympathize as we have a traffic increase here created by progress. When Scotiabank was built the City did not foresee or intend our one lane alley would become a major access to the bank, both coming and going. A one-way lane headed north would ease it somewhat. When restoration of the lane was imminent our petition (as 80 per cent of the traffic was the bank’s) warded off this considerate expense to opposing residents. We prefer the ruts slowing traffic. Camrose is the envy of surrounding communities with increasing population and has bigger fish to fry, such as our through town, main 48 Avenue being the single major artery and a highway as well. The 5 p.m. rush here we come. I hope upgrading will deter the noisy, road degrading, semis and triple trains that continually barrel through town. Rudy Sund, Camrose

Collinge has success in pool at Summer Games By Murray Green
Marianne Collinge of Camrose earned three medals at the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Vancouver on July 11. The local swimmer came in first in the 25m freestyle event to receive a gold medal. Her winning timeline was 42.85 seconds. She followed that up with two bronze medals. “I didn’t think that I would win any medals,” said Marianne. “I was happy. This was the first time going to the nationals in swimming.” Marianne placed third in the 50m freestyle and 25m backstroke to add the bronze medals to her collection. In two other events, she narrowly missed the podium and finished fourth in the 25m backstroke and the 4 x 25m freestyle relay team event. Marianne practiced three times a week to prepare for the Games. She has been coached by Lara Sreibers, Jim Ofrim, Carol Wideman and Laura Zwack over the last few years. Marianne has participated in bowling and swimming for several years. She added basketball and softball to her list of sports over the last few years. During the winter Marianne was very sick and missing the first training camp for Team Alberta. She qualified a year ago, so Marianne kept her training at home. The extra training paid off with the three medals. “It was an incredible experience for all of the athletes, especially Marianne. To bring home three medals was pretty neat,” said Carol Wideman, chair of the local Special Olympics. “The bowlers did well and just missed out by 1.5 points to reach the semifinals. We were very close and it was exciting.” The medal winning swimmer was joined by eight 5-pin bowling athletes from the Camrose program. They were Brad Lyseng, Nicole Wegren, Chris Sutter, Jessica Enns, Anthony Lechman, Les Knudsen, James McGillivray and Candace Ames. Coach Ginger Matthews also went to Vancouver from July 8 to 12. Camrose Special Olympics athlete George “Rocky” Hagel and Camrose Police Services officer Const. Matt Wilton took part in the torch run into the stadium during the opening ceremonies. “I made lots of friends from Edmonton and in Alberta,” said Marianne. “I hope to see them again.”

Railway Station produces a must-see play for Founders Days
By Janine Carroll, Founders Days Festival Chair
Behind Pioneer Machine and Crane, located just outside of Camrose on Highway 26, safely tucked away and carefully tarped, are precious community artifacts – pieces of the Camrose Legion cenotaph. Denis Hare, co-owner of the business humbly recounted how it came to be in his temporary custody, proud to help as the Legion creates a new home for the cenotaph once they are fully settled in their new faculty and ready to re-establish the monument. Extremely important information is recorded on the thick slabs of granite – lists of men from Camrose and district who sacrificed their lives during First World War and Second World War “in the service of their country in defense of freedom and justice”. The years of 1914 and 1939 will long be part of history as the beginnings of these two significant global conflicts. Camrose recognizes and commemorates the 100th anniversary of First World War and the 75th anniversary of Second World War along with the rest of Canada and all Allied nations. As our annual local historical festival draws closer, the Camrose Founders Days Committee would like to recognize the Camrose Heritage Railway Station for an extraordinary commemorative project. Their project provides education and remembrance, and pays tribute not only to the sacrifice young men made during these horrific periods of war, but the losses of those left behind. For many months committed volunteers have been practicing a play which will be performed at the Bailey Theatre over the Founders Days Festival weekend. Sandra McLay returns for a second year to direct the Railway Station production, called Mary’s Wedding, written by Canadian playwright Steven Massicotte. Rebecca Hohnsbein and Brian Dumont star in this dramatic, heartfelt tale of a Canadian wartime experience. The story is told through Mary’s memories and dreams. The plot unfolds as scenes of an early romance entwine and clash with Mary’s perception of the harsh reality of the battlefields of Europe, known to her only from Charlie’s letters. Alongside her, we share the true nature of the Canadian experience of World War One; an experience of love, sacrifice and loss. It has become a favoured Founders Days tradition to have a Bailey Theatre theatrical production; this will be the third year that the Railway Station has taken ownership of the project and each year it has produced an excellent, well received play, successfully connecting community with history. Mary’s Wedding promises to carry on the tradition. The play will run Saturday, Aug. 16, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, Aug. 17, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the Camrose Heritage Railway Station, 780-672-3099, and the Bailey Theatre.
Teach kids water safety From AlbertaHealth Services
CIBC PRESENTS $500 TO HABITAT CAMROSE
CIBC branch manager Michelle Ball presents a cheque for $500 to Habitat for Humanity Camrose executive director Cody McCarroll in recognition of the volunteer efforts of CIBC employees. Michelle volunteers on Habitat Camrose family services committee, which helps hard working familites with the application process and throughout Habitat’s Affordable Home Ownership Program.
Now is the time to wade into the topic of water safety with your kids. The first step is teaching your kids how to swim. Canadian Red Cross water safety program representative Marta Gorski says “as soon as infants can hold their heads up, parents can begin taking swimming lessons with their children. As children move towards five and six years of age, swimming lessons begin to focus on safety, and eventually skills like treading water and swim strokes.” The Canadian Red Cross (redcross.ca) offers swimming and water safety programs for all ages and confidence. Anyone can learn to swim at any age. Water safety goes beyond knowing how to swim. You and your kids also need to learn when to wear a life jacket and the serious risks that come along with being around water. Water in nature is very powerful. Parents need to recognize the strength of a current. “Reading the posted signs and doing some research before you head out with your family is essential,” Gorski says.

Karen Anderson Therapies and Total Orthotics Fifteen years ago, Karen began a reflexology and orthotics business. How time fl ies! Today, Karen is not only well-respected in the field she started out in, but has expanded into a multi-faceted wellness practice that offers clients therapies to help them look and feel their best. Notes Karen, “Clients were asking for additional services and we gave them what they were looking for. It began with adding shiatsu and hot stone therapy and went from there. My clients really enjoyed the added services.” A move was made to a larger location in The Camrose Acupuncture building. Always listening to her clients’ needs, Karen began adding other therapies such as laser facials and hair removal. Acne and rosacea treatments followed, along with chemical peels to give skin a fresh, healthy glow. Cellulite therapy, body contouring and skin rejuvenation treatments have also been added to Karen’s ever growing list of wellness therapies. And most recently, Karen has added a professional skincare line of facial products. “A lot of times, people aren’t sure what it is they need”, says Karen. “They just know they’re not happy with something and want to know how to improve it. That’s why we offer free consultations for both women and men. And the custom orthotics business that started it all? “Oh yes”, laughs Karen. “Custom orthotics is still a very important part of our services and that won’t be changing anytime soon.”

Susan Presetsky, Manager
Nutter’s Bulk & Natural Foods
Walking into Nutter’s one of the friendly faces you’re sure to see is Susan Presetsky, manager of the Camrose location for the past ten years. “We are continually changing,” says Susan. “For example, while there is still a perception that Nutter’s is strictly a bulk food company, it’s just not so. In the last seven years, I have seen a definite shift away from the traditional Nutter’s products, especially candy.” She is quick to point out that while Nutter’s still carries baking items, “and, of course, nuts,” they also carry an extensive selection of vitamins and supplements as well as a wide variety of organic and gluten-free foods. She notes, “We are continuing to bring in items that are more natural and healthier including personal care and household products. The evolution of our store is customer driven. Many of the new products you see on our shelves were brought in because of customer requests.” Susan believes Nutter’s has one of the best vitamin and supplement selections in the Camrose area. “Our vitamin manager, Yvonne, is a fountain of knowledge, and will always take the time to listen to any health care questions you may have.” “Customer service is our #1 priority,” states Susan. “We provide ongoing training for our staff because more knowledge for them means better service for our customers. Our advantage over the big box stores is that we know many of our customers by name and will always take the time to listen to their concerns.”

Superior customer service has always been a top priority, and much new business comes from client referrals. The company also believes strongly in supporting the Camrose community as is demonstrated by their July food bank drive. “If you’re having problems with your computer,” says Cathy, “bring it in to one of our diagnostic experts and they’ll have it running smoothly in no time.

Ardelle Kerr is definitely hooked on quilting! Her enthusiasm for the hobby about which she is so deeply passionate had an early beginning. At age seven she was encouraged by her mom, while on the family farm (Amisk area), to take up sewing. This interest eventually led to her earning a university degree in education, which in turn led to her teaching Home Economics at the high school level. With her reputation of skill and patience, Ardelle was invited to offer sewing classes for The Sewing Centre, a business at that time owned by Terry Olsen. It was during this time period that numerous adults asked the question, “Where can I learn to quilt?” Intrigued by this recurring question, Ardelle searched out information and courses and began taking courses out of her own curious interest. Captivated by this booming hobby, she and her husband, Roger, a former dairy farmer, opened a store exclusively dedicated to the hobby and art form. Today, Quilting From the Heart is known throughout the province and well beyond. The couple can’t wait to get to work every day. Ardelle sums up her store, “It’s a place where we can have fun, be creative, and amongst great friends, create beautiful things!”

Camrose Sea Serpents’ 2014 season is off to a good start By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Sea Serpents swim club is putting together another solid season. The club had won four of its seven meets going into the Fort Saskatchewan Invitational Meet this past weekend, boosting expectations for a strong showing at regionals in Edmonton Aug. 9 and 10. Sea Serpents coach Shane Gau feels the results can be traced back to strong preparation during two a day practices. “We are doing about 6,000 metres a day in addition to the technical work,” said Gau. “We are going pretty hard and they are responding well.” The Sea Serpents didn’t have much time to get ready for their first meet, which was held in the middle of May. “We only had a few days to prepare considering we didn’t start our season until May 4 and were only practicing once a day until then,” said Gau. The club was ranked fourth in the Alberta Summer Swimming Association standings, just ahead of the Pincher Creek Dolphins, after the Huma and Edmonton Masters Invitational Swim Meet at the University of Alberta Aquatic Centre July 12. “We didn’t win the meet but we still did pretty well,” said Gau. “We had fewer swimmers participating at the meet than we normally do so we weren’t able to accumulate as many
points. Typically we have 45 to 50 swimmers going to meets. At this one we had around 35.” The Camrose Sea Serpents’ overall ranking would be higher if it had been able to count the points accumulated by four of its top senior swimmers who are 18 years of age and over. “The way it works they are in a separate category altogether,” said Gau. The Sea Serpents have around ninety swimmers in total, including a couple of swimmers from who have moved to Camrose from Vermilion and three swimmers who drive in from Provost. “The swimmers from Provost wanted to be part of a more competitive club and the Sea Serpents fit that requirement,” said Gau. “We are happy to have them along for the ride.” The club has only one swimmer, Chad Sieben, who is going to the Alberta Summer Games in Airdrie July 24 to 27. “Our swimmers were at a disadvantage with the Summer Games trials because they were held at the beginning of our swim season (the second week of May) and they were competing against kids from the winter clubs who were at the end of their season,” said Gau. “If the trials occurred at the end of our season I think that we would be at a way bigger advantage and we would be sending more of our swimmers. The way it is
now it just isn’t set up for summer club kids.” While Gau and the other Camrose Sea Serpents coaches stress the competition aspect of the sport, they realize there is only so much that each swimmer can handle. “We don’t want to see the kids stressed out because that’s an unhealthy thing and it can result in them not wanting to swim at all,” he said, “but at the same time we want them to give their best performance so they can move onto the next level. With the little ones it is not so much competing against other swimmers but competing against themselves, so they are always striving to better their times or their strokes and endurance.” All the Sea Serpents will have the opportunity to compete in the regionals. “The regionals will be the end of the year for the swimmers in the six and under category since there isn’t a category for them at the provincials,” said Gau. If there are any club records that are broken this year it will most likely happen at the end of the year. “Records are always surprising,” said Gau. “All you can do is take the kids as far as they can go and hope they peak at the right time. I hate to put the records out there though because I don’t want that to be their focus. I want their best performance and if that ends up being a record, then good for them.”
Donald Alphonse Heidt July 21, 1942 – July 14, 2014 Donald Alphonse Heidt was born in Scott, SK on July 21, 1942 to Joseph and Magdalena Heidt. He passed away in Camrose, AB on July 14, 2014 after a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer. Don moved with his family to Lacombe when he was two years old, and after a brief stay moved to Warburg, AB where he started school. At the age of nine and the oldest of six children, Don and the family made the move to the Lake Bend District, south of Bashaw, where he would spend the majority of his life. When he was 16 years old, he started farming with his father full time and, in 1974, purchased the farm where he stayed until 2012 when he moved to Camrose. Don was happiest working on the farm whether it was out in the field or welding up his latest invention to make work on the farm more efficient. He didn’t take many breaks from the farm but, when possible, he enjoyed camping and the outdoors with his family. Don is survived by his two daughters Victoria Heidt of Stettler and Sheila Heidt of Red Deer; his common-law wife Eva Cappis of Camrose; her son Rick Quast of Ponoka; brothers Vern (Cheryl) Heidt of Three Hills and Terry (Glenda) Heidt of Red Deer; sisters Valerie Boode (Jim Spensley) of Victoria, BC and Arlene (Ralph) Oberg of Bashaw; and brother-in-law Lorne Haakonson of Palm Desert, CA. Don was predeceased by both parents and one sister Anita Haakonson. A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, 2014 from the Immaculate Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church, Bashaw with Rev. Don Ihekwoaba officiating. Inurnment will take place in Bashaw Cemetery.

Camrose Sea Serpents celebrating 40th anniversary The 2014 summer swim season marks the 40th anniversary for the Camrose Sea Serpents Swim Club which was originally founded in 1974. The Sea Serpents is a summer swim club which encourages members in the development of swimming techniques and provides opportunities for members to compete against other summer swim clubs in Alberta. The season begins in May and ends with a provincial swim meet held in midAugust. This year’s swim club has approximately 90 swimmers ranging in age from five to 22. Over the past 40 years, alumni of the Sea Serpents have gone on to swim with winter clubs in the Edmonton area, at the Canadian National Swimming Championship and represented Canada at international competitions such as the upcoming Junior Pan Pacific Swimming Championships.
Members of the Camrose Sea Serpents pose for a group photo.
This summer, the Sea Serpents will be hosting their home swim meet on Saturday, July 26 at the Manluk Regional Aquatics and Fitness Centre in Wetaskiwin. The public is invited to attend and cheer on the Sea Serpents (admission is free). The Camrose Sea Serpents’ coaches, all of whom are NCCP certified, show
personal talent, commitment and expertise and have the necessary qualifications to lead our club to future successes at the highest level. This year’s coaching staff includes: Shane Gau, head coach, who has been with the club for 33 years (11 as swimmer, and 22 as coach), Todd Sieben (who has been with the club for six years (16 as swimmer
and 24 as coach with four different clubs), and Jana Gau, who has been with the club for 24 years (12 years as swimmer and 12 as coach). The coaching staff is assisted by additional junior and mentor coaches including: Amelia (Mia) Marcin, Brendan Hilgartner, Christian Ford, Miranda Nash, Camryn Gau and Clark Gotaas. The Camrose Sea Ser-
pents swim club is a notfor-profit club run by volunteers and supported by membership and fundraising. It is a member of the Alberta Summer Swimming Association (ASSA) and through the ASSA has membership in Swim Alberta and Swim Canada. ASSA has 66 clubs as members and is divided into six regions.

Gisele Leonie Geib October 29, 1919 – July 16, 2014 Gisele Leonie Geib, also known as Gisela, Mom and Oma, was born in Breslau, Germany on October 29, 1919, and passed away on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 at the age of 94 years. She immigrated to Canada in 1953 to be with her father, George, who had come earlier to prepare a home for his family. When George’s wife and son decided to stay in Germany, Gisele came to be with her father so he was not alone. She served as a court stenographer and interpreter when she first arrived. It was in Edmonton that she met Karl Heinz (Henry) and they were married in 1954. They had two children, Peter (Sherwood Park) and Chris Zarski (Camrose). Over the years in Edmonton, Gisele took on many roles, but none more important than being a full-time mom! She was involved in the school through PTA, concerts and organizing events, and encouraged and involved her children in many activities. She was a true partner and companion to Henry and explored every venture along his side including camping and skiing in the mountains, farming, travelling and the enjoyment of sitting in a quiet place at various lakes. Throughout the years, Gisele became involved in several areas of interest. She worked as a part-time seamstress at Snides Sewing, was a trained income tax agent for Block Brothers Income Tax, and assisted the Holy Ghost Fathers when they arrived in Edmonton from Ireland by opening her home to them for meals. She also served as their housekeeper at the Spiritan McQueen Residence and saw them through the building of Holy Spirit Parish, serving as the church administrator. When the family moved to the south side of Edmonton, Gisele gave up her church position and accepted a bookkeeper position with Central Park Lodges. She loved the role, the residents and the staff, and found that this was a joy for her until she and Henry retired to the Mundare farm. Shortly after Henry’s illness, they retired to Camrose. Gisele enjoyed farm life for its beauty and quietness. She loved gardening and flowers but, most of all, loved the time she could watch her grandson grow with his endless questions in developing a love for farm life. She was a grandmother who could tell the same story a hundred times, be surprised over and over by the same joke and taught her grandson to speak and sing in German. Each night, Gisele would ask about Timmy, where he was and when he would be back. When possible and there was reception, we would grab a cell phone and she would speak to him, even if just to say “Hi” and make sure he was okay. Gisele was known for her kindness and for always seeing the positive side in every situation. She was endlessly grateful for anything someone did for her. One would always hear the words, “Thank you” come from her mouth, regardless of the situation! We love you dearly and you will be missed! A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, July 21, 2014 from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Larry Pederson as celebrant. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions in memory of Gisele are gratefully accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or to CNIB.

Rotary sets up Reading University fund By Murray Green
The Rotary Club of Camrose presented the Battle River Community Foundation with $10,000 to launch a new fund to support the Reading University program. Reading University is a four-week summer program at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus and Flagstaff Campus at Killam designed 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. Rotary made the commitment to the Reading University in celebration of its 90th anniversary. “We put in a request for application proposals to distribute $90,000 within the community to celebrate our anniversary. We choose to support the Reading University to receive one of our larger donations,” explained Rotary president-elect Tony Hladun. “Reading is a very important skill for children to learn and is a skill they will use for the rest of their lives.” Students from Grades 2 and 3 engage in a wide variety of activities that range from reading books to playing word games, computerbased 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
Rotary Club of Camrose president-elect Tony Hladun, centre, presented $10,000 to Battle River Foundation vice-chair James Mayer and executive director Dana Andreassen to establish a fund to support the Reading University program.
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. This new fund with the Foundation will support Reading University and child literacy. The fund will act as a legacy to support Reading University and childhood literacy forever. “We want
to generate income from the fund to cover half of the costs to run the reading University program. The Battle River School Division underwrites the other half,” explained Dana Andreassen, BRCF executive director. “This fund shows a general commitment for the program and the Rotary Club believes it is really important,” Dana added. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects in East Central Alberta which benefit local communities and have a positive impact on the future.
Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $2,250,000 to support important local initiatives and organizations.
Asia presents great trade opportunities for Alberta By Verlyn Olson, Minister of Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development
There is no shortage of opportunities for Alberta’s agriculture sector on the world stage, especially in Asia. China and Japan are our second and third largest agricultural export markets, worth a combined $2.8 billion annually, and there is plenty of room for growth to meet the needs of their surging populations and economies. I had the chance to witness that potential first hand during a trade and investment mission to Asia earlier this year. The mission targeted key financial centres and market access points in Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Japan. We met with companies interested in doing business with Alberta, particularly in the grains and meat sectors. We also met with government officials to discuss how we can better strengthen our trade relationships. There is clearly a real appetite for Alberta’s high-quality food products including beef, pork, grains and oil seeds.
Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson and members of the Alberta trade mission delegation, along with the Embassy of Canada, met with the senior vice minister of Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to discuss various topics such as on-going trade negotiations and potential research collaboration.
What is also clear is that our province has to continue to aggressively promote itself to make the most of these opportunities. The competition in the global marketplace is fierce and Alberta is fighting for a place on Asian menus with other suppliers like Australia and the United States. Alberta’s international offices will have an important role in keeping our province front and centre in the minds of Asian consumers and businesses. As well, trade missions, such as
this recent one, also reinforce Alberta’s commitment to increased trade as well as create opportunities for Alberta companies to make connections with potential clients and investors. On this mission, we were able to bring about a dozen agriculture and energy companies together with approximately 175 potential investors at business “matchmaking” seminars. While it is still too early to assess the full extent of the results of the mission, I know the agriculture companies which
participated have reported at least 20 solid investment leads that were generated through these meetings. I’m hopeful some of these new food connections will turn into long and prosperous relationships. While the trade mission was an eye-opener about the market possibilities we need to pursue in Asia, it also drove home the point that there are challenges here at home that we must overcome. Our recent troubles moving last year’s record harvest to market by rail have resulted
in a fair amount of angst among our international customers, who are concerned about the long-term dependability of our rail service. In order for Alberta and Canada to avoid any permanent damage to our reputation as a reliable global supplier of energy, food and other goods, we have to continue to aggressively seek and implement improvements to the transportation system for all commodities. Recently passed federal legislation that set minimum quotas for grain delivery has certainly helped. We are also pleased that the federal government is expediting the review of the Canada Transportation Act to identify additional measures. We are strongly encouraging representatives from all commodity sectors to participate in the review process to ensure that their concerns and suggested solutions are put on the record. Our reputation as a world class supplier of high-quality food and other commodities relies on our ability to deliver those goods to market in a timely manner.

Urban parks system the jewel of Camrose By Dan Jensen
The establishment of the Camrose urban parks system was the direct result of the foresight of former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed. “He wanted to see parks developed in the bigger urban centres,” said Camrose Community Services parks director Chris Clarkson, who was able to thank the premier personally after the Lougheed family donated a park bench. “He wanted communities to build something that would result in health and wellness and be enjoyed by everyone.” Under Lougheed the provincial government began providing millions of dollars in the 1980s to communities across the province to develop their parks systems, starting in the cities of Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer. “They had two different phases,” said Clarkson. “Phase one included Edmonton, Calgary and the other larger centres, while Phase two included the centres with smaller populations.” A Camrose urban parks committee was already in place on Feb. 17, 1989, when it was announced that Camrose would receive $3.9 million for the upgrade and development of the Stoney Creek Valley. “There were communities who received the money before we did but we thought we should be on the list (of communities that would receive funding),” said former City councillor Larry Johnson, “so we formed an urban parks committee so that we would have all our ducks in a row when it was announced.” Public meetings and surveys soon revealed that the primary need was a comprehensive trail system. “The trails ended up being the prime focus because that is what we thought most people would enjoy,” said Johnson. “There were a few other ideas like having a
Kamifurano Park on the north side of Mirror Lake.
picnic area similar to that in Jubilee Park out in the ski hill area and a Stave church (a church with a certain kind of steeple that is common in Norway). It was a nice idea at the time but it just wasn’t practical.” Another suggestion that never materialized was the creation of a swan abode on Grand Drive. “We did some analysis and found out that by the time it was supplied with sewer it would cost in the area of $300,000 and that it would interfere with the trail system,” said Clarkson. “We ended up putting the swans over behind the Max McLean arena.” Up until the time the grant was received the only walking trail around Mirror Lake was a beaten down goat path. “It was that way when I came to Camrose in 1987,” said Clarkson. “You really had to watch your step to avoid roots if you wanted to stay on your feet.” The decision that the heart of the park would be adjacent to Mirror Lake, already the site of numer-
ous summer and winter activities, was made fairly early on in the proceedings. “I remember the City had to buy up all the space where the playground and the viewing area is now because there were lots of houses along there,” said Johnson. Construction on the parks system began in 1991 shortly after the presentation of a design by Tim McCullough that included the trail system, washrooms in Jubilee Park, the Bill Fowler Centre and Stoney Creek Centre (ski lodge). The Camrose Chamber of Commerce, which was in need of new office space, contributed to the capital cost of the Bill Fowler Centre and agreed to operate the facility, which houses a series of interpretive panels outlining features of the urban park and some historical highlights of the city. The centre is also home to a scaled-down version of a Viking Ship that was built in Camrose and made a trip to Expo 1988 in Vancouver. “We put the boat in there before they had built
Swans have been here since 1960s By Dan Jensen
Few things can be as enjoyable as watching the beautiful swans that make their home on Mirror Lake and other Camrose waterways during the summer months. Swans have been gracing Mirror Lake since 1962, when the City of Halifax donated a pair of Polish mutes, affectionately known as Hal and Faxi. Today, the City has both trumpeter and Polish mute swans.
“We have had years in which our swan population has reached 14,” said Camrose Community Services parks director Chris Clarkson. The City currently maintains a close relationship with both the Canadian Wildlife Service and Friends of Elk Island Park Society, and has participated in various swan education and conservation initiatives. The City also assists conservation efforts by welcoming orphaned or injured birds,
including geese and pelicans, into its winter facility. While Camrose swans are wild and adept at finding their own food, the City of Camrose has feeders set up for them, one on Mirror Lake and one on the north shore, next to the walking bridge. “Some people feed them bread but, if they get too much, that isn’t good for their stomachs,” said Clarkson. Camrosians are encouraged to be careful around swans as they are wild and unpredictable creatures.
the east wall after floating it on Mirror Lake,” said Clarkson. “If you wanted to get it out of there now you would have to either dismantle the ship or take out the east wall.” The City of Camrose had to scale down its original plans for the system after the province decided it was reducing the original funding available from $3.9 to $3.4 million. “We had to give up on some of the things we were initially planning but we still felt fortunate,” commented Clarkson. “There were many communities that weren’t able to get in on the funding and had to put out all the money themselves.” The City of Camrose has expanded the trail system into the Valleyview, Creekview and Southwest Meadows subdivisions and the berms on Camrose Drive and 68 Street. New construction in 2014 and 2015 will include a trail that connects Bullrush Park with 54 Avenue on the north side of the city. “We try to work with
the developers in the new areas because we recognize how beneficial it is to provide connectivity to the community,” said Clarkson. “We want to make it possible for people to go from one end of the city to the other without having to get into their vehicle.” Camrose received $100,000 a year from the provincial government up until 2010 for park and trail maintenance, money that was well-spent. “There are times when we have to repair cracks in the trails caused by the frost, the maintenance equipment that we use to remove snow or ice, and the roots that get too close,” said Clarkson. “The City of Camrose has budgeted $380,000 to do an overlay of the 2.2 km of trails around Mirror Lake in 2014. The City’s approach is to do more maintenance in the Mirror Lake Park and Jubilee Park and reduce that maintenance further out towards Stoney Creek Park and the trestle area. Most of the grassy and reedy areas next to the water are left untouched by mowers so in order to not interfere with the birds that are nesting and raptors that naturally use the creek to survive. Clarkson has fielded many phone calls from visitors who have commented on the quality of the Camrose parks system. “They always mention to me what a beautiful parks system we have,” he said. “Some even call before they come here asking if they can bring their bikes to ride the trails.” To accommodate visitors who come for meetings and conventions, the City has published a brochure that identifies how much time it takes to walk a certain portion of the trail. “Users want to know if they want to get away from meetings for a bit how much time it takes to walk the trail,” said Clarkson.

Many places to enjoy By Dan Jensen
The Camrose urban parks system is comprised of four different areas. Mirror Lake Park
An early objective of the Camrose urban parks committee was to ensure that the urban park development would provide a year-round facility. It was decided that the heart of the park would be adjacent to Mirror Lake, already the site of numerous summer and winter activities. The location is the scene of people busy enjoying themselves in all kinds of weather. People bring their children to the play area from all parts of the city and a steady parade of tourists seeking directions and information make Mirror Lake Park a vibrant, exciting place to be. Jubilee Park
Developed during Alberta’s Jubilee celebrations, Jubilee, Park is the city’s main family and group picnic area. Located near the centre of the city, it has been host to a variety of events and visiting dignitaries, including former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Stoney Creek Park
Stoney Creek Park is a natural area running from 44 Avenue to the city limits. The area offers the opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature as the ski trails offer an outstanding natural setting for walkers and bikers. Many wild animals inhabit the area and the park offers the opportunity to observe their habitat and lifestyle. The area is best known internationally for its ski facilities. All ski disciplines are accommodated at the park and the cross country/biathlon trail system is of excellent calibre. Bullrush Park
Many years ago the residents in the area of 58 Street and 51 Avenue, with their own labour and resources, developed a neighbourhood picnic area that became known as Bullrush Park. The park remains a part of the total park system and now has the trail running through it. The significance of Bullrush Park is that it is symbolic of the community spirit that exists in Camrose.
Sculptures add to the enjoyment By Dan Jensen
When Larry Johnson saw the Sculpture Walk in the Forest of Green while visiting relatives in England a few years ago he knew right away he would be trying to promote the idea of something similar back in Camrose. “I thought it would be really interesting to have a sculpture walk like that in Camrose because we (wife Patrice and himself) just loved it,” said Johnson. “It was comparable to going out to walk past the ski hill because it was in a similar type of terrain. We go on the walk every time we visit the relatives because they are always adding new art. It really is out in the forest.” Johnson’s idea for a Camrose sculpture walk led to the commissioning by an anonymous donor of The Handoff, an arc-welded steel sculpture by John Beaver depicting the passing of a baton between two runners in a relay race. “I am pleased with it,” said Beaver in unveiling the sculpture next to the Mirror Lake Centre on the north side of Mirror Lake on Oct. 25, 1997. “It was my first life-size work and one that presented a few challenges.” The Handoff can be interpreted in a number of different ways, one of the most significant being the handing down of traditions and standards from one generation to the next. “It takes place during the middle of a race so it
John Beaver’s The Handoff was unveiled in 1997.
doesn’t have anything to do with winning or losing,” said Beaver. “It has a biblical angle as well in that the Apostle Paul encouraged his readers to run the good race.” Beaver obtained the bolts, nails, chains, springs, harnesses, iron rods and nails for the sculpture from the scrap piles of several farmers in the area, as well as a dump near Donalda. “I talked to John at the unveiling and he told me that there is a potato peel-
er in there,” said Johnson. “It’s like playing a game of Where’s Waldo when you’re trying to find it.” Following up on the enjoyment of the Beaver sculpture the Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak became involved and funded construction of a piece entitled The Meeting Place just across the street from the current Legion Hall as a Rotary centennial project. The club also donated a stained glass piece of art
work which is now displayed outside the Bill Fowler Centre. In 2008 the lawyers of Camrose approached Beaver about doing another metal sculpture entitled Justice, a depiction of the biblical David rescuing a sheep from the jaws of a bear. “It is dedicated to all people working to promote compassionate justice both inside and outside the legal system, especially in Camrose and area,” said Beaver before unveiling the sculpture just a few steps east of the Bill Fowler Centre. Johnson feels the art work that adorns the Mirror Lake trail system helps set Camrose apart from other communities in the province. “It just adds a bit of zing,” he said. “The people I talk to seem to enjoy showing it to their friends.” Johnson said it would be nice if Camrose was able to add another piece every few years. “This isn’t something that happens overnight so if we were able to do that every three years we could eventually have something that is quite interesting and entertaining. We have the whole valley system to work with, all the way out to the ski trails. I really think it can be done.” Johnson noted the City of Camrose has a fund in place that welcomes donations for any future art work.
Nature mural a Camrose masterpiece By Dan Jensen
Jim Marshall, owner of Grassroots Studio in Medicine Hat, and Wayne Finley, of Finley Masonry in Camrose, spent a portion of one summer in the 1990s erecting a red brick nature mural at the Bill Fowler Centre. Sixty-two feet long and five feet tall at its highest point, the mural depicts a natural wildlife setting with creatures indigenous to Mirror Lake. The 2,000 bricks used in the mural were carved and fired by Marshall at his Medicine Hat studio before being transported to Camrose. The mural was first proposed in 1991 along with plans for the Bill Fowler Centre. The Bill Fowler Nature Mural Committee made up of Steve Shuman, Martin Giesen, Judy McLean, Mervin Pasula, Dale Toogood and Herb Andersen, felt the mural, with its nature theme, would be timeless in its theme and span many generations. “It was decided we would pick out as many of the indigenous creatures that we might see at the lake if we were to see them all at once,” explained Marshall, in a 1993 interview. “I stud-

ied the swans right here at the lake and noticed the various poses they get into when they are preening out of the water. Other characteristics, various birds and animals, are really a part of a collection I have of photographs and sketches I have done over the past 30 years.”
Carving nature’s images from the brick took Marshall six months of 16- to 18-hour days. Often he would start in his studio at 5 a.m. in the morning and not stop until 11 p.m.. Some of the tools he used for carvings were meant for other purposes, while
others were designed by himself, specifically for his own work. “It’s a complete carveaway situation,” he said. “If you make a mistake, you tear it all down and start over again; there is an element of risk.”

Reduce blind spots (MS) -- Many drivers have experienced the scenario on the road where they’ve attempted to change lanes believing the coast is clear, only to catch sight of a vehicle in the lane adjacent to them at the last minute. The car seemingly comes out of nowhere, but it probably was just in the driver’s blind spot. Accidents due to blind spots can be reduced and avoided if drivers take the time to properly adjust their mirrors prior to setting off.

Toyota Corolla Building on a stellar reputation
Geoff Skakun By Dan Jensen
The all-new 2014 Corolla is Toyota’s most surprising and capable compact yet. Along with the amplified elements of style, design, quality and craftsmanship, Corolla builds upon a stellar reputation for reliability, efficiency and function. Visual impact The all-new Corolla makes an immediate visual impact with a more impressive, chiseled exterior design that elaborates on the “iconic dynamism” theme first seen on the Corolla Furia Concept that debuted at the North American International Auto Show. With the wheels pushed more toward the corners, compact overhangs and more tapered front and rear expression, it communicates a more dynamic compact sedan form, even at a standstill. An expressive front fascia with sharper, more pronounced details above a large trapezoidal grille rests beneath a think intake inlet below the hood. The rear view is highlighted by large, sharply-sculpted rear taillight assemblies. Door handles have been sculpted into the
body to align with a character line that spans the length of the door surfaces. The new C-pillar features a faster, longer sloping angle that blends into the rear deck more athletically. Interior experience The new interior features a greater sense of craftsmanship and attention to detail. A horizontally-oriented dash structure helps enhance the sense of spaciousness while providing a more wide-open, intuitively functional space for interface with vehicle controls. The interior offers a premium aesthetic with its use of piano-black gloss trim, highlighted by metallic ornamentation and trim that conveys an upscale yet sportier image. Depending on interior colour theme, blue, black or amber pinstriped accents are used in conjunction with the dash and door panel ornamentation to enhance the premium appeal. As a result of the increase in the vehicle wheelbase, the spaciousness of the Corolla has been dramatically improved. The rear seat hip point has been moved back 75 mm and addition-
al leg room was gained by adopting a slim front seat back. The rear passenger door was also made flatter by re-routing exhaust pipes beneath the vehicle to offer better middle position foot room. Environmental noise, in addition to road and engine sounds entering the cabin, are mitigated by an acoustic glass windscreen, improved floor carpet insulation, an instrument panel seal between the cowl and the windshield, a fender sound insulator, and an inner dash silencer pad. Corolla’s front seats include a longer, more supportive lower cushion and an improved bolster design, while offering a 15 mm increase in the seat’s range of adjustment to help accommodate a wider range of physiques. The effort required operating the Corolla’s front seat slide, reclining and lift mechanisms has also been greatly reduced. Corolla’s standard gauge cluster offers three dials with sharp image detail and clear blue illumination, surrounded by chrome trimmed rings. Within the speedometer dial is a multi-information display that shows odometer, trip odometer, current
fuel consumption, average fuel consumption, cruising distance and average vehicle speed. Drivetrain The new Corolla offers two efficient 1.8 litre allaluminum four-cylinder engines. The base 1.8 litre unit with VVT-i is available on the L, LE, and S grades and is rated at 132 horsepower. The new LE Eco trim level is equipped with a 1.8 litre engine with Valvematic, a valve train technology which appears for the first time in North America with Corolla. Valvematic offers a broader range of continuously variable valve timing (lift and phasing) to provide optimal intake valve operation relative to engine demands. Valvematic offers more than a five per cent improvement in fuel economy and engine output. The 2014 Corolla also offers improved fuel economy thanks to its advanced Continuously Variable Transmission. This CVTiS (i f foro r intelligent, S for shift) has discrete shift points that help create a sensation more similar to a traditional hydraulic automatic transmission. Corolla models equipped with CVTiS offer the capability of
either an Eco or Sport driving mode. On Corolla LE Eco, the Eco driving mode makes accelerator control become non linear to suppress the vehicle’s response to choppy driving and contain acceleration from standing start top help reduce fuel consumption. Sport helps deliver a more dynamic driving experience with software tuning that alters shift points, creating transmission behaviour during acceleration that enhances the sporty character of the S-grade. Unibody construction The new Corolla offers improved handling and steering thanks to a rigid unibody that can take advantage of improved suspension tuning to offer a more engaging, better handling, more dynamic car. The Corolla’s unibody makes extensive use of high-strength steel to improve the rigidity of the structure, but also keeps vehicle curb weight under 2,900 pounds for all grades, which helps improve fuel efficiency. You can see the 2014 Toyota Corolla at Toyota City, 4120-56 Street, Wetaskiwin. Phone 780352-2225 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Local 4-H members awarded By Murray Green
Hard working members of the Forestburg 4-H Club were rewarded with Calgary Stampede International Youth Livestock Scholarships (IYLS) on July 13. The 56 winners did well at various livestock shows around the province like the Provincial 4-H Sheep Show, the Provincial 4-H Beef Heifer Show and the Provincial 4-H Dairy Show among others. Then the 300 entrants, and about 550 head of livestock, went to the Stampede week Summer Synergy show in Olds. If they’re trying for a scholarship, they must have submitted a marketing assignment that was judged back in May. Four competitors are named Supreme Champions in their specialty. Topping the list was the Supreme Champion, Commercial Beef won by Jed Curtis of Forestburg. After the Summer Synergy, it was off to Calgary for judged interviews that are the final determinant of just how much money the IYLS will provide toward their post-secondary education. “We really put them through their paces to get that money,” said AnneMarie Pedersen of the committee. Tyler Dietrich of Forestburg earned a $3,000 scholarship in the senior category. Cole McMahon of Galahad received $2,000. Bailey Dietrich of Forestburg was presented with $1,000 for her efforts. In the intermediate division, Halley Adams of Forestburg earned $1,000. Tucker McMahon of Galahad picked up $500. Keely Adams of Forestburg was a awarded $500 in the junior category.

Walking trails provides important health benefits By Dan Jensen
The Camrose urban parks trail system promotes healthy living by encouraging residents to get out and walk. “The more walkable a community is the more likely that people will walk more often and experience improved health and wellness,” explained Alberta Health Services Health Promotion Facilitator and chair of the Walkable Camrose committee Lucy Ernst in a presentation to a City committee of the whole meeting in June. “Throughout Alberta and Canada people are looking at ways to make their communities more walkable.” International charter An International Charter for Walking developed in the framework of the Walk21 international conference series in October, 2006, notes there are fewer people walking all the time. “Walking,” says the charter, “has stopped becoming a necessity in many parts of the world and become a luxury. Walking seems too easy, too commonplace, too obvious and indeed too inexpensive an activity to pursue as a way of getting to places and staying healthy. We choose not to walk because we have forgotten how easy, pleasurable and beneficial it is. We are living in some of the most favoured environments man, as a species, has ever known, yet we respond by taking the ability to walk for granted. “As a direct result of our inactivity we are suffering from record levels of obesity, depres-

sion, heart disease, road rage, anxiety and social isolation.” The charter calls on communities to ensure safe and convenient independent mobility for all by providing access on foot for as many people as possible to as many places as possible, to recognize that streets are a social as well as a transport space and require a social design, to provide clean, well-lit streets and paths free of obstruction, address the impact of climate through appropriate design and facilities (shade trees or shelter) and value, develop and maintain high quality and fully accessible green spaces and waterways. “Communities have the right to live in a healthy, convenient and
attractive environment tailored to their needs,” states the charter, “and to freely enjoy the amenities of public areas in comfort and safety away from intrusive noise and pollution.” The charter also makes a number of other recommendations: – Build and maintain high-quality networks of connected, functional and safe walking routes between homes and local destinations that meet community needs. – Provide an integrated, extensive and wellequipped public transport service with vehicles which are fully accessible to all potential users. – Put people on foot at the heart of urban planning. – Give slow transport
modes such as walking and cycling priority over fast modes and local traffic over long distance travel. “Communities have the right to expect landuse and spatial planning policies which allow them to walk to the majority of every day services and facilities, maximizing the opportunities for walking, reducing car-dependency and contributing to community life.” – Reduce the danger that vehicles present to pedestrians by managing traffic (implementing slower speeds) rather than segregating pedestrians or restricting their movements. – Reduce vehicle speeds in residential districts, shopping streets and around schools.
– Ensure buildings provide views onto and activity at street level to encourage a sense of surveillance and deterrence to crime. – Provide training and information to business professionals to increase awareness of the concerns of pedestrians for their personal security and the impact of such concerns on their decisions to walk. – Commit to a clear, concise and comprehensive action plan for walking, to set targets, secure stakeholders and guide investment. – Actively encourage all members of the community to walk whenever and wherever they can as part of their daily lives by developing regular creative, targeted information in a way that responds to their personal needs and engages personal support. – Create a positive image of walking by celebrating walking as a part of cultural heritage and as a cultural aspect, for example, in architecture, art exhibitions, theatres, literature readings, photography and street animation. Walkable committee The Camrose Walkable Committee was formed following a 2012 Walkable Alberta workshop hosted by the City of Camrose and Alberta Health Services to celebrate the areas that are working well with walkability and to inspire decision makers to support change in the community to improve walkability. The goal of the committee is to identify priority areas and further improve the walkability of the community.
Mural at Bill Fowler Centre a Camrose masterpiece Continued from page 27
Before starting to carve, Marshall numbered all the bricks and set them on a large easel, using clay, rather than mortar, for separation. He then transferred his drawings onto the brick. In the carving process, Marshall had to make sure there was a proper amount of moisture in the bricks, both on the front and on the back, to prevent cracking. He was able to achieve proper moisture through spraying and the use of plastic coverings. For the Camrose nature mural, Marshall used a brick he called Mirror Lake Red. “This is the first red brick carving I have done,” he said. “Over the last 10 years I have done a number of carved brick walls, but
they’ve all been grey so far, mainly because the quality of the grey brick stood up to the rigors of carving a lot better than any of the other colours the brick plant makes. Mirror Lake Red is a good clay brick that is normally grey, with iron oxide added to provide the red colour.” Once the carving was done, the bricks were taken apart in order, and put on racks to slowly dry. Since iron oxide retains moisture, it took the red bricks about six weeks to dry, compared to a month for the grey ones.
After making absolutely sure the bricks were dry, Marshall put them into a kiln for firing. “I think it took six or seven firings to get all the bricks done for this proj-
ect,” he said. “Each individual firing process took six days – two for kiln warmup, two for the actual firing, and two for the kiln cool-down.” In preparation for shipment to Camrose, the numbered bricks were put in special boxes with compartments, placed on pallets, and shrink wrapped with plastic for weather protection. Marshall did his first brick carving in 1970 when he was a marketing supervisor for IXL Industries in Medicine Hat. “I was travelling all over the country promoting, in as many ways as I could think of, the use of brick. And I was fortunate enough to be with them during those 1970 boom years,
so I had a hey-day putting on architectural shows and working out various ways to promote brick. One of the things we did in 1970 at an architectural conference, where all the suppliers of building materials had booths set up at a trade show, was set up a panel of brick and carve on that. It was thrown away after, but it created attention.” Thirteen years later, when Medicine Hat was celebrating its centennial year, the Rotary Club there made it known it wanted to contribute something special to the new City Hall. That’s when Marshall suggested a carved brick mural of how Medicine Hat received its Indian name. “After a great deal of time passing to think about
it, we finally went ahead with the project,” said Marshall. “That, technically, was the first one.” Marshall’s interest in art began as a child, when one of his primary materials was plasticine. Later, he embarked on a career as a graphic artist and lithographer, and for ten years he worked for his printer father. The Camrose nature mural was one of the largest Marshall had done at the time. The largest was a mural for a church in Sarnia, Ontario. “Every job is a challenge,” he said. “I never do the same imagery twice, so this mural is unique to Camrose. There will never be another repeat of this wall at all.”

Volunteers build solid foundation for Habitat Camrose By Dan Jensen
Volunteers teamed up with a local farm business and Habitat for Humanity Camrose last week to lay a solid foundation for the future. The second annual Habitat for Humanity Building Hope Fundraiser July 3 had 26 Farm Credit Canada staff from offices in Camrose, Edmonton, Leduc and Vegreville and three members of the Trevor Doig family spend three hours building grain bin floors. The lumber, hammers and nails were provided by UFA Camrose, which also paid a set amount to Habitat for Humanity based on the amount of volunteer work. The Building Hope Fundraiser was somewhat modelled after other fundraising events in which participants raise pledges for their favourite charity. “Instead of running or walking, with Habitat for Humanity you come out and swing a hammer,” said Habitat for Humanity Camrose executive director Cody McCarroll. “UFA provides the building materials, we provide the labour and UFA pays a set price per bin floor. The more volunteers we have the more we can raise.” The first Building Hope Fundraiser a year ago had students from CCHS use UFA supplied materials to build cow/calf shelters. Farm Credit Canada enjoyed being given the

opportunity to help on the project. “We are passionate about the communities we live in and this is a great way to give back,” explained Farm Credit Canada senior director, Camrose district, Adam French, adding that FCC has been involved in the construction of Habitat homes the last two years. “It is a chance for us to step away from our desks and get reconnected with the community.” Trevor Doig, who teach-
es building construction at the Camrose Composite High School, prepared the materials with the help of his sons, Helix and Caius. “This is the second time we have been able to assist Habitat and I think it is great,” said Doig. “It is a great chance to get together with other people and give something to those who need help.” The amount that UFA Camrose paid to the volunteers (and Habitat) was what it would have paid to
a contractor for doing the same thing. “The bin floors are 14 feet,” said UFA building sales representative Wayne Kraft. “They are a big commodity because we always sell lots of them.” Habitat for Humanity Camrose is grateful for every bit of support it can get. “At last year’s event we had it at the high school and were building shelters so the students were more involved,”
Parliamentary Report Kevin Sorenson, MP, Crowfoot Parliament Rises for Summer
After a very productive Parliamentary session in Ottawa I am looking forward to meeting with many constituents over the summer. Our Conservative government has been very productive thanks to a strong mandate and a majority of votes in the House of Commons. As I attend events around our Crowfoot riding this summer I look forward to discussing the work we are accomplishing on behalf of Canadians who work hard, pay their taxes and are trying to raise their families. The most significant legislation that we have passed this spring is of course Canada’s Economic Action Plan (Bill C-31, the Budget Implementation Act). This Act sets out a comprehensive agenda to create jobs, keep the econ-
omy growing, and return to a balanced budget next year, as we promised. We continue to support families and communities by keeping taxes low, putting consumers first, and working to protect Canadians’ health and safety, and more. Many of you may have heard me say in the House of Commons during Question Period that since coming to office, our country has the best job creation record in the G7, and we are leading in economic growth. In fact, we have created almost 20 per cent more jobs on a per capita basis than the next closest country. Since the depth of the global recession, over one million net new jobs have been created (82 per cent full time, with 80 per cent in the private sector and 61 per cent in high-wage industries). As we have always said, Canada is not immune to the glob-
al economic challenges beyond our borders. This is especially true of the ongoing challenges in the U.S. and Europe – among our most important trading partners. That’s why our Conservative government is working hard to help create more jobs and economic growth. Economic Action Plan 2014 does exactly that by introducing positive measures like the Canada Apprenticeship Loan Program, supporting more paid internships for recent graduates, cutting red tape for small business, making landmark investments in research and innovation, keeping taxes low for families, and more. While we’re focused on creating jobs, Justin Trudeau has the same old Liberal high tax, high spending agenda that will threaten jobs and set working families back. How can someone who
thinks budgets “balance themselves” be trusted with jobs and the economy? Canadian families know that to balance a budget takes tough decisions, a focus on priorities and sound judgement. Our Conservative government remains committed to low taxes, fiscal discipline, and long-term prosperity. Canada’s story in recent years shows a country that is getting back to work and in which businesses, families, and communities are in an enviable position to succeed moving forward. I look forward to seeing you over the coming months If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write to me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson. C1@parl.gc.ca.
said McCarroll. “This year FCC wanted to be involved, to do something different than they have done in the past. We are extremely happy to work with both FCC and the Doigs and hopefully we will be able to do more with them in the future.” Habitat for Humanity Camrose will be holding another Building Hope Fundraiser starting at 10 a.m. Sept. 27.

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.

The dancers also performed for the residents and staff at Sunrise Village and then for approximately 350 family and friends at the Bailey Theatre. The dancers were taught by Frances Ross, who has been with the academy for six years, demonstrators Courtney Bratrud, Micaela Klutz, Jessica Dehoog (missing Autumn Wilms), and helpers Payton Rootsaert and Emma Mokry.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, July 22, 2014 – Page 47
Housing sales on the upswing By Dan Jensen
There isn’t a better time than now to sell your home. A housing market report provided by Altario Appraisals shows that a total of 140 homes were sold in Camrose in the first quarter of 2013, up from 135 homes in the second quarter of 2013. The mean price for home sales in the quarter was the highest ever, at $309,639, bringing the rolling 12-month mean price to $282,442. That was an increase of 1.6 per cent over the last quarter and an increase of 4.6 per cent over rolling mean price in quarter two of 2013. The median price was $292,500, which represents a 4.3 per cent increase from a year ago. The number of Camrose homes that have sold for more than $400,000 in the past year is 44. Twenty one of those sales occurred in the second quarter of 2014. “Overall the quarter just passed can be classified as a breakout quarter and 2014 as a breakout year,” said Altario Appraisals owner Jerry Iwanus, in a report summary. “As this is written there are 146 residential properties on the market in Camrose via MLS (on the Central Alberta board and the Edmonton board combined), excluding vacant land. If we consider this relative to the 135 sales that occurred in quarter two, 2014 (keeping in mind that quarter two is almost always the busiest
month of the year), supply and demand appear to be finding a balance, which is in contrast to the significant under-supply that was evident six months ago. If that is the case, it is likely Camrose will see a levelling of prices over the remainder of the year, although not necessarily a decrease in volume, notwithstanding the seasonal strength of quarter two generally.” Apartment vacancies A recent Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation report shows that 4.2 per cent of bachelor apartments were vacant in April, 2014, up from zero per cent in April 2013, but that the vacancy rates for one bedroom apartments declined from 4.5 per cent in April, 2013, to 3.3 per cent in April 2014. The vacancy rate for two bedroom apartments declined from 4.6 per cent in 2013 to 3.4 per cent, while the vacancy rate for three bedroom apartments declined from 4.2 per cent in April, 2013, to zero per cent. The average cost of renting a bachelor apartment in April, 2014, was $597, compared to $713 for a one bedroom apartment, $876 for a two bedroom apartment, and $904 for a three bedroom apartment. One year ago the average cost of renting a one bedroom apartment was $662, a two bedroom apartment $832 and a three bedroom apartment $890. Building permit report A City of Camrose building
permit report shows that the City of Camrose issued permits with a total value of $11,047,879 to the end of May, 2014, down from the $12,635,117 issued to the end of May, 2013. Residential permits accountedfor$7,356,000ofthetotal (2014) permit value ($7,624,318 at the end of May, 2013), while commercial and industrial permits came in at $3,325,879 and $366,000 respectively. The number of single fixed dwelling units built to the end of May, 2014, was 22, one ahead of the number that were built to the end of May, 2013. The grand total of building permits issued by the City of Camrose in May (2014) alone was $5,206,879 ($3,035,879 commercial and $2,171,000 residential), compared to $3,618,318 at the end of May, 2013. Small towns A total of 70 sales occurred in quarter two in the small towns in the counties of Beaver, the MD of Provost, the County of Paintearth. There were 128 sales in the first six months of 2014 and 239 in all of 2013. Forty acreage sales were recorded in quarter two in all of Camrose and Flagstaff Counties, as well as in the north part of the County of Stettler, the east part of the County of Wetaskiwin, and the southernmost part of the County of Beaver. There were 59 sales in the first six months of 2014 and 109 in all in 2013.
