inviting Camrosians to be Hope Builders.
Pairs of students will be covering at least 3,000 city residences, as they go door-to-door, in a concentrated effort to explain how Habitat for Humanity Camrose builds simple, decent and affordable homes in partnership with the community and volunteers. Seven hundred households in Camrose are caught in the cycle of poverty. Donations offered during Sunday’s blitz by students might well make the difference in allowing one family, or more, to break this cycle, thus qualifying for a safe and secure place to live. This simple, yet compassionate effort has the potential to make a lasting difference that may well translate into generations of positive impact.

Call centres receive boost in funding Funding from a 44 cent monthly levy ensures Albertans will continue to get the help they need in emergencies. The 911 emergency call centres across the province will soon start receiving funds collected through a cellphone levy implemented earlier this year. The initial payments, totaling more than $2 million, will be put towards managing increased call volumes and upgrading resources and technology.
Natasha Maynee 780.781.2323
“911 is one of the most vital public safety services – one that Albertans rely on in some of their most critical times of need,” said Greg Weadick, Minister of Municipal Affairs. “This funding will go a long way to help cover the costs of sustaining our call centres, so we can remain focused on helping Albertans.” The levy on cellphones was implemented April 1. Previously, only landline users contributed directly to the cost of 911 services.
Loni Bergum 780.385.2000
Trevor Vinet 780.878.1734
As the use of landlines continues to decline, and more Albertans rely on their cellphones, this funding provides 911 centres with the much-needed revenue to keep up with demand. Alberta’s 911 call centres can use the funding from the levy towards: updating hardware, such as computers and phones; updating software; paying for staffing and training costs; and implementing “next generation” technology, like text and video messaging.

Camrose awarded pair of provincial tourism grants By Murray Green
Support is coming to local groups to help boost Alberta’s tourism industry. Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation has awarded grants totalling $431,000 to eight organizations around the province with different initiatives to help grow in tourism. Two of those grants will be coming to Camrose. “These grants make it possible for organizations to do research, capitalize on new opportunities and deliver exciting new events for travellers. They will enhance Alberta’s ability to attract tourists and make their visits truly memorable,” said Dr. Richard Starke, Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation. A grant has been awarded to the Canadian Curling Association for staging a winter festival in Camrose to complement the Canada Cup of Curling in December. The Camrose Regional Exhibition is to receive funds to support the Growing Rural Tourism Conference in March, 2015, and to develop an entrepreneurship competition as part of the conference. Other grants went to the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society to support an economic impact study of Alberta’s outfitted hunting industry; Jasper Destination Marketing Corporation to support the implementation of a Jasper Event Tourism Strategy; Town of Bon Accord for development work on a multiuse tourism and recreation facility that will include a library, business incubator and observatory park with global network telescopes; Calgary Zoological Society to support the Illuminasia Festival, which will combine traditional Chinese lantern light figures with the zoo’s botanical gardens; Drumheller Festival Society to help support the staging of a complementary festival during the Tough Mudder international endurance obstacle event in Drumheller in September; and to the Friends of Medalta Society to develop new guided tours, workshops and concerts/events in Medicine Hat’s Historic Clay District. Tourism contributes more than 100,000 jobs and $7 billion to Alberta’s economy from more than 30 million person-visits annually. The Alberta Tourism Framework aims to increase the economic impact to $10.3 billion by 2020 through a collaborative approach with the tourism industry to create, enhance and market the experiences that make Alberta a must-see destination for travelers everywhere.

Council receives request for a one-way street By Dan Jensen
A portion of Grand Park Crescent could be closed to two-way traffic if residents who live along the road have their way. Camrose City council received a letter from Grand Park Crescent residents at its July meeting suggesting that a one-way street on Grand Park Crescent from Grand Drive to 48 B Avenue would reduce the amount of traffic in their area, help maintain the original design, character and purpose of the area and improve the safety of the area for seniors and children. Margaret Rathnavalu, who wrote the letter on behalf of 48 of her neighbours, noted that Grand Park Crescent is approaching the acceptable maximum vehicles for a local residential street and that traffic has become an increasingly present concern for residents. “It seems appropriate to propose a one-way street now as it would be a proac-
tive measure and comes at a time when major renovations to our street are being completed,” said Rathnavalu. “The City’s decision will influence the type of growth that the city is facing and the value of retaining quiet residential areas.” The Grand Park Crescent community consists of 28 households and has 21 driveways which back onto the curved street. The area is part of the city park plan and has a walkway that crosses the street to connect to Cecille Tabler’s Reserve and only the Mirror Lake Walkway. Rathnavalu told council that driving on Grand Park Crescent requires a great deal of caution. “One of the entries to our street is from (the curve and hill on) Grand Drive heading south east curving for two blocks until going directly south meeting Highway 13. “It is not an arterial or collector road. Its designa-
tion as a local residential road means that it is primarily designed for land access for residents rather than for traffic movement. It is 30 feet wide.” Rathavalu said a oneway street would not cause any problems for emergency vehicles, which would be allowed to go either way. “The ambulance service was of particular concern and the EMS was contacted again this past Friday. The EMS manager stated that would not be a problem for them.” Rathnavalu said having a good quality of life includes quiet and peaceful areas. “There are authors and speakers who are considering the transition of our culture from vehicle focus to resident focus, and the building of neighbourhood relations as so important to our susta i nable f utu re, w ith vehicles being used as
t o ols where c ycl i n g, walking and play are important parts of our communities and what we value.” Don Forestier, who moved to the area three years ago, said that having a one way where all the vehicles are going the same direction makes sense. “The street currently has room for only three vehicles, so that if there are two vehicles parked on the side of the road, only one can get through at a time.” Forestier also noted that having a one way going from Grand Drive to the south (towards 48 Avenue) would reduce the amount of traffic going through the neighbourhood from 48 Avenue. “We have had some accidents late at night and the vehicles seem to be coming from the highway,” he said. City director of engineering Jeremy Enarson
said the City will be getting a good picture of the traffic volume on Grand Park Crescent once it does a traffic count but that will not be happening until the current improvements, which include traffic calming measures like bulb outs, are completed. Council was informed there are a few residents who are opposed to the idea of a one-way street. Wilf Ritter made a presentation in the public commentary part of council’s regular council meeting in which he noted that the lack of a back alley behind his place means that he would have to drive an extra kilometre to get to his house. “This makes no sense as I only live 180 feet off Grand Drive,” said Ritter. “The one-way street would only cause more problems. One problem is that the increase in vehicle traffic would be our own vehicles.” Continued on page 18

City going forward with bridge design By Dan Jensen
City council has authorized city administration to proceed with the design of a new seven lane box culvert bridge on 48 Avenue at Mirror Lake. The estimated cost of both the construction and design is $3.9 million. City engineer Jeremy Enarson told council Aug. 5 the design would take a few months to complete and that construction would not start until the fall of 2015. “I am less concerned about the start date and the end date right now,” said Enarson. “I think that right now we want to get the firm direction from council as to which direction you want the design going. That allows administration to come back with financing options and it allows us to continue with the design with our consultants. As we near the end of the discussions (with consultants) we will have a lot better information to present to council in terms of timing of the actual work.” The cost of building a bridge with a modification of the 48 Avenue grade sufficient to permit pedestrian passage and the provision of a pedestrian underpass (in addition to the grade modification has been estimated at $7,710,000. The amount set aside by council in the 2014 capital budget was $2.8 million. “To modify the grade at 48 Avenue would be $1.8 million,” said city general manager, infrastructure and planning, Wayne Franklin. “The provision of a pedestrian underpass would be another $1.9 million. The grade modification would not bring 48 Avenue to a Transportation Association of Canada standard. To achieve that standard, the grade modifications would have to start west of 53 Street.

When cooler, crisper weather arrives, humidity levels wane and hair can appear flat and lifeless. People also tend to spend more time indoors with the heat turned on. Dry air can cause static electricity and flyaway hair. Fortunately, there are a number of solutions to flat hair, each of which can improve fullness and body. * Try a plumping product with keratin. Keratin is a strong, fibrous material found in human hair, skin and nails. Coating hair with a keratin hair treatment can create a thicker layer of keratin to protect and moisturize the hair and help improve fullness. * Find the right volumizing shampoo for your hair. Many volumizing shampoos work by thoroughly cleansing hair to remove any product residue or excess oil that can weigh down hair. In the process, some may actually dry out hair, so it is important to test out different brands to find one that cleans but does not strip hair. * Use a styling aid. Styling aids can add volume to your hair. Volumizing mousse will coat the hair strands and give the appearance of thickness and lift. These products should be worked into the base of the hair where it meets the scalp for best effects. * Invest in hair rollers. Hair rollers may seem old fashioned, but they can create timeless, full hair and curls. Velcro or other nonheated rollers can be gentle on hair. Depending on the size of the roller, hair can be full with bounce or show off more defined curls. * Be gentle when styling. Frequent use of chemical styling products or heated appliances can weaken or damage the hair. Use heated styling appliances sparingly and be gentle on hair when brushing or washing and drying. * Experiment with a new cut. Fine or limp hair may benefit from a shorter, more layered haircut to improve volume and bounce. A stylist can recommend options that will fit with your face and hair goals. * Consider coloring your hair. Permanent color dyes may actually thicken your hair by expanding the cuticle layer in order to deposit color into the shaft or disperse the existing pigments. Many products and techniques can make hair more full, especially during a season when flat hair seems to be the norm.

RCMP remind motorists to keep licence plates clear RCMP are reminding the public that it is an offence to have an obscured or partially obscured license plate on your vehicle; the offence falls under Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act, section 71(1) and the fine is $115.
The most common items obscuring license plates are trailer hitches, plug covers for trailer connections and license plate covers, which are illegal even if they are clear. Other seasonal obstructions include mud in summer or snow in winter. Some license plates also become illegible through damage or through age. If your license plate is obscured and your vehicle gets stolen, the RCMP’s ability to identify your vehicle is limited. As well, some drivers who have deliberately obscured their license plates in an attempt to avoid being identified by police are continuing to drive dangerously, and that’s a safety hazard for everyone on the road. If your license plate has become worn or damaged, you are required to go to a vehicle registry and get a new license plate. If you request a new plate at the time of your vehicle registration renewal, there is no charge for the plate. If you request a new license plate at any other time, there is a $22 cost. The plate must be mounted in such a way that nothing around it alters or obscures any of the information on the plate. From a safety perspective, having unidentifiable vehicles moving around in the community makes it more difficult for police to trace those who have criminal intentions. When RCMP see obscured license plates they’re going to pull you over.

I write in reaction to MP Kevin Sorenson’s Parliamentary Report (July, “Standing up for Israel”), which states that Harper “has taken a principled position and is standing up for those suffering from aggression.” That assertion rings hollow when one weighs the fewer than 100 Israeli casualties to over 1,000 Palestinian lives and homes lost in the Gaza Strip, during Israel’s attacks. If it is wrong (as the Harper government suggests) for Russia to invade the Ukraine. It is equally wrong, when Israel invades the West Bank, Gaza, or the Golan Heights. The Balfour Agreement did not give Israel access (or the right to settle) in any of these Palestinian areas, which it now claims “rights” to. I gagged when I read Sorenson’s defense...”Where there is a battle between democracy and terrorism, where innocent lives are at stake, we should be proud Canada is not afraid to take the principled moral high ground and stand up for what is right.” Harper’s government, indeed, seems to be doing just the opposite.
What makes Israel’s land-grab “right”? And the Russian land-grab “wrong”? Harper and Sorenson can’t have it both ways. M. R. Leithead, Bawlf Election patterns
I have researched the history of Albertan elections since the creation of our wonderful province in 1905. Alberta has been around for almost 110 years. There seems to be a pattern happening for the past hundred some years. So far there has been four dynasties who have ruled Alberta: 1905-21 Liberals, 1921-35 United Farmers, 1935-71 Social Credit and the PC party from 1971 to present. There seems to be one trend which seem to repeat over the past hundred some years. It seems that when a dynasty loses power, that party never seemed to make any sort of come back and become the government again. The Liberal ruled for 16 years. The United Farmers ruled for 14 years. The Social Credit ruled for 36 years and finally the PC party for the past 43 years. Out of the four parties who used to rule Alberta, only two remain with elected MLA’s today. There are the Liberals and the PC party. Alison Redford has resigned her seat as a MLA. However, it seems to me that she should not be blamed for everything. The decisions which she had made were not the wisest. However, there is a question which should be asked. How much did the other MLAs know about what was going on in the Redford leadership camp? It seems to me that she is the scapegoat for how the government planes
were used. According to an article in “The National”, Raj Sherman stated that Redford did the right thing by resigning and called it “the sad ending to a career that once held great promise.” However, Sherman continued that in reality, the responsibility for the government planes really belongs to Finance Minister, Doug Horner and it is he who needs to answer questions about how the planes were used. It would be very interesting if the Wildrose Alliance party repeated what the PC party did in 1971 when they defeated the tired full of scandal Social Credit party. The PC party can distance themselves from Redford all they want. Yet this party was behind Redford in a leadership vote last November, 77 per cent strong, I do believe. I do wonder if this will be the last few nails sealing their fate? According to the latest polls, the Wildrose Alliance party is in first place across Alberta. I just wonder if this is the end of the PC party and the start of another dynasty or will Albertans give this tired old 43 year party another four years to ruin this wonderful province? Time will tell what you the voter will decide. Remember, your quality of life depends on your vote in the 2016 election. If you do not vote and your life is turned upside down with the wrong party in, then it will be your fault if you refused to vote. Voting is what gives us as a people a voice in the selection of a government. I do urge you to use yours. Lorne W.P Vanderwoude, Camrose
Neighbourhoods change
Camrose is growing. Neighborhoods change. If you want to live in a small town there are several within an hour. Move there. We all pay taxes and have the right to use all public roads. I live by a train track - trains are increasing in frequency. If I don’t like it I’ll have to move. So should you. The rights of a few do not supercede the rights of many. Mike Enright, Camrose Cat rescue
I called the police, under suggestion from a local vet, concerning what to do about several hours of a distressed cat’s cries, just outside our front door. The cat was stuck in the crotch of a tree, some 30 feet from the ground, with no branches beneath it. This was Sunday afternoon, around 2:00 p.m., when the Blue Jays were in the 15th inning (eventually winning in the 19th). The police came to my door rather quickly and we went and had a look at the cat, who by this time was running out of energy, body sagging in the crotch of the tree, high above. The officer went away and about 1/2 hour later the fire truck showed up, and a ladder set up and a fireman ascended, coming down with a very distraught chunky black cat, which, when let go of bounded off. Someone once said that our humanity is often measured by how we treat members of other species. I believe this is so true. I felt my humanity ennobled by the actions of these men. Bravo!

Design of bridge Continued from page 6
“The modifications will drop (the grade) from eight per cent to just under six per cent,” said Franklin. Mayor Norm Mayer, who was one of the first proponents for a pedestrian underpass, said the additional cost of $1.9 million is just too much, and that the city would be able to save money by putting new lights at 53 and 51 Streets for people to get from one side to the other. He added that the problem of the grade modification causing vehicles problems in the winter could be solved by having city crews tend to the area a little earlier. “I heard comments that we should do that, but what do we get, four or five good storms a winter that cause us problems? Maybe we should get a sander or grader out there a little earlier and save a whole bunch of money there, too.” Councillor Agnes Hoveland agreed that the cost of adding an underpass would be just too much. She noted that the $3.9 million price tag that has been quoted for the work is already in excess of what council had anticipated.” Enarson said the seven lanes would help to ease the problems with traffic congestion that currently exist. “The transportation master plan identified the area between 53 and 51 Streets as the priority area, the biggest bottleneck, but it also identified the need for a dedicated right turn lane at 50 Street. “The modelling didn’t show significant bottlenecks to the east of 50 Street.” Mayor Mayer questioned the impact the seven lanes would have on vehicles coming out of the flow through lane at the Co-op that are trying to get to the left hand lane so they can turn south on 53 Street. “If you put another lane there I don’t see that changing anything other than they have one more lane to cross to get over to the left turn at 53rd.” Enarson agreed the problems for merging traffic become heightened during the busy times of the year, and that with the current two lanes of traffic the congestion is being pushed further and further to the east. “Any of those vehicles that are trying to get across (from the acceleration lane) not only have to look behind them to see what vehicles are coming, but now they have to be cognizant of the fact that vehicles in front of them are stopping.” The bridge work is expected to take a couple of months with full closure of the road and a few weeks longer with partial closure. Full closure would result in an additional cost of $300,000 to $360,000.

Government running out of steam says Smith By Dan Jensen
The Alberta Wildrose Party would introduce a new program for assisting municipalities with their infrastructure if elected as the next government. “We think we need to have a long term, stable funding formula that increases support to municipalities with the increases in revenues that come to the provincial government,” explained Wildrose leader Danielle Smith before a wine and cheese reception at the Bailey Theatre July 30. “The current model that we have we call the begging model. The municipality can go begging cap in hand and hopefully have some sway over those at the cabinet table. We think that is a demeaning way to treat our third order of government and we need to establish a new relationship based on respect and proper funding.” The plan, if implemented this year, would see $1.7 billion flowed through to municipalities for capital purposes (which according to Smith is higher than the current government provides), and would grow to $2.5 billion a year in 10 years. “That additional level of funding support would allow municipalities the flexibility to pay for additional operating costs, as long as they don’t have to also fund an excessive amount of capital costs,” said Smith. “Plus it would allow municipalities to parlay provincial dollars

into matching grants at the federal level.” The Wildrose would also share ten per cent of surpluses with the municipalities. “We know that when we have surpluses chances are they are because of windfall revenues, and when we have windfall revenues from energy development it is municipalities who are facing the greatest pressures,” said Smith. “Municipalities have been advocating for something like this for at least five to ten years and I don’t think a government that has been in power for 43 years, which hasn’t listened to those pleas, is actually going to implement it.” Smith said her party has sent letters to every municipal councillor telling him or her what the munici-
pality would receive under the new plan, and asking for feedback so that if it is elected, implementation would be able to start right away. “We would look at the MSI formula, which is the current formula that they use to distribute about $800 million and just apply that to a broader base. We are getting some feedback that it (the plan) is not entirely perfect, so it might need a few tweaks.” Smith said she hears a lot of the same comments in different communities that she visits, with people expressing concerns about the debt and deficits, lack of control over government spending, the ability to attract doctors to rural communities and the constant, ongoing scandals. She said
they are realizing that after, 43 years, this government cannot be trusted and is running out of steam. “They (Alberta PCs) think that the rules don’t apply to them anymore; they think they can misbehave and get away with it.” Smith said what we have seen recently with the allegations of flagrant abuse of government aircraft by the former premier is just a consequences of incompetence, bad decisions and a sense of entitlement. “They (the PCs) are trying to pin this on their prior leader, but when you look at the fact of the matter, they have had a hard time properly managing their government aircraft for years, if not decades. They treat it like it is the personal limousine of the person in the top position. The finance minister, Doug Horner, manages the government aircraft. It is his job to make sure that it is being managed properly. When it comes right down to it, the finance minister is ultimately the one who should be accountable to make sure that the government planes are not abused. He failed in that and he has to answer for it.” Smith said Albertans are seeing far too much pretend consultation by the government over sensitive matters like use of public lands. “They go out and they appear to be trying to get input but in the end the plan doesn’t necessarily reflect what the locals want to see.
We are very concerned about the potential cancellation of leases without compensation and the potential impact of restrictions on private land without compensation. We have reason to be concerned about that because of what we have seen in the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan.” Smith said the Wildrose would like to ideally follow the model with the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund that is being used in Norway and Alaska, two other resource-rich jurisdictions. “In Norway they started the fund later than we did and what they do is they deposit all their resource revenues into the fund and then withdraw each year what they need for current operating. If we develop a plan to grow the Heritage Savings Trust Fund up to a point where it can replace our reliance on resource revenue we can do the same thing. If our fund, for instance today was worth $150 billion, it might be generating $8 or $9 billion worth of investment income, and that is about how much we get in resource revenue. We need to set a goal so that the investment income being generated off the fund matches what we would be getting in resource revenue. I think Albertans are ready for that. They want to see a long term plan that would wean us off our reliance on resource revenue. They want to see responsible management of our resource revenues.”
Prentice campaigns for responsible government By Murray Green
Alberta premier hopeful Jim Prentice stopped in Camrose to view the BVJ Kickin’ Country Parade and to talk politics at the Bill Fowler Centre on July 31. “I’ve campaigned across the province on five priorities, which resonate with Albertans,” said Prentice. “I’m not with the current government. I’m a private taxpaying Albertan. What I speak about is what Albertans are speaking about.” Prentice expanded on his priorities. “Firstly, we need to be fiscally responsible. We need to run Alberta in black ink, be conservative and run consolidated surpluses in this province. Secondly, we need to restore public trust in government. Thirdly, we need to as Albertans, access global markets if we are going to achieve our true potential. We need more than one customer, namely the United States. That is true in agriculture, forestry and energy. The role of government is to open up those markets,” he explained. “We need to make sure we have significate infra-

structure built for pipelines. Fourthly, we have to protect the environment if we are going to be in the agricultural and oil business. We continually need to excel in the environment to get back in our game. The fifth priority is our quality of life. Our health care, education and how we take care of our senior citizens is what Albertans expect to be excellent in all of those aspects.” Prentice feels those are
the general priorities for all Albertans. “They can vary a little from community to community,” he said. Alberta has gone from a debt-free province during Ralph Klein’s reign to currently about $11 billion in debt. “We have to be fiscally responsible and run Alberta in the black ink,” said Prentice. “I have been absolutely clear that if I am the premier, we are running
this government in a surplus position. In the future, we will take 50 per cent of the surpluses and put them into a savings account to go towards debt retirement. The related challenge is going to be reducing the infrastructure deficit across this province. That is everything from our rural road network, to our bridge systems, to sprinkler systems in our senior citizens’ homes, to hospitals and to schools.” The balancing act is going to be difficult if the province is going to survive. “We are going to have to invest over the next five years to prepare for a major capital rebuild in this province. I think we can build what we need over five years and then pay it off over the 15 years that follows,” said Prentice. “We have to minimize the debt we take on, but we have to take on some debt to do this. Albertans are saying they want schools, road systems properly maintained, and hospital care. People want to be safe in senior citizens’ homes. We are going to have to do this.
Alberta is like a family. “It is no different than your family home. If you have five children and you only have two bedrooms, you are going to need a bigger house. We are going to need a bigger house, so that means we have to take on a small mortgage, but pay it off as fast as we can. “We have gone from two million people to 4.2 million people and headed to five million and we have not kept pace with everything from schools to roads.” The potential leader wants to turn the province around through the eyes of most Albertans. “I see it as a great advantage to be from outside of the party because people are saying they want someone from the outside. The saying is that a new broom sweeps clean. People want to see new leadership, a new perspective and someone who has government experience.” Prentice served as an MP for Calgary in the Canadian government. “People want someone from the outside to clean this up,” he said.

The Camrose Churchmice Players will be holding auditions at the Camrose Composite High School drama room Sept. 3 and 4 for its March, 2015 performance of The Three Musketeers, and at the Camrose United Church Sept. 5 and 7 for its November 2014 performance of It’s a Wonderful Life. The Three Musketeers requires a cast of 20 men and four women. “That is the minimum number we need to put on the show,” said Churchmice Players director Mike Hicks. “We could use as many as 30 men and ten women.” Auditoners may want to have something prepared in the way of a monologue, song or skit to show their talents. “It is good if they are familiar with the piece they are doing,” said Hicks. “If they don’t have anything prepared we will be asking them to read something from a script of our choosing.” The Three Musketeers is an action-filled play based on a novel by Alexandre Dumas. Set in the 17th century, it recounts the adventures of a young, impoverished Gascon nobleman who comes to make his fortune in Paris, where he makes friends with Muskateers of the Guard Athos, Aramis and Porthos. Central themes of the play include politics, people, humour and pain. “It’s something new to Churchmice,” explained Hicks. “We have never done an action/swashbuckler performance of any kind, so I think it is time that we show the community that we can do that as well as the musicals and comedies.” The play will be performed in the new Camrose Performing Arts Centre starting on a Wednesday and going through to Saturday or possibly Sunday. “I am excited to be in the new arts centre,” said Hicks. “I am sure it is going to be amazing and that it will add a new dynamic to the way the Churchmice Players think when it comes to set and design. My only concern is whether or not we will be able to make money from it. We should be able to do so it in five or six shows as long as tickets sell the way we expect.” Continued on page 18

Me and Mae shine at BVJ By Murray Green
The demand for the band Me and Mae is increasing at a rapid rate due to the solid songs and sound at concerts over the past year. The formation of the band started with a song. “It’s true. I wrote a song “Love Me Leave Me Lonely” with Carly Rae Jepsen, who at the time was a guitar student of mine,” explained Shawn Meehan, who is the Me in the band. He pitched it to his publishing company and it was received enthusiastically, but it wasn’t recorded. Rather than let it sit on the shelf, he decided he would start a band and record it himself. Meehan knew Kim Gryba, Adam Reid and Ben Parker were solid players whom he played with in another band. All that was missing was the right singer. “We needed a female singer to round out our band. We were playing a festival and a radio station was having a talent contest. Jacky Mae was the winner and we became friends. I asked her to sing with us and see what happens,” he added. She quickly became the Mae in the band with her singing and writing abilities. “It took a year of playing together on and off to evolve to were we are at today. It has gone beyond what I imagined. Now we have a fabulous band and we are now playing several big festivals, including opening the Big Valley Jamboree,” Shawn said. “It is an honour to be asked to be the kick-off band. It just blows my mind that we are the first band to start off the entire weekend of one of the biggest festivals in the country,” said Mae. “I never really dreamed of considering a career in music and all of a sudden we are opening for some big names here (Lonestar). It is crazy to open for bands that you listened to on your phone and admired. It is surreal almost because you grow up listening to these songs and they play cover songs that you have. You start to live the dream.” Playing music for a living is living the dream for Meehan. “It is all I ever dreamed about since I was little,” he said. Me and Mae followed the Big Valley Jamboree kickoff by opening for the legendary Canadaian band, Trooper. “I think that reflects what we are aiming for. Our goal is to appeal to everyone and not be pigeon-holed into one genre,” said Meehan. “We are more than a country band. We inspire

to be like Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles as crossover bands. It is a sign we are going in the right direction. If Trooper thinks we rock enough to open for them it says we are on the right track.” “It’s not about genres so much as getting on stage and doing what we love,” added Mae. “It doesn’t matter if we are playing country music. It is about being able to go up on stage everyday and do something we all love to do.” Country music doesn’t have any boundaries anymore, which plays into the hands of the west coast band. “We play some rock, bluegrass, country and the audience is not offended by it,” said Meehan. “We truly are a band that is like family. We have a song that we are going to record in August that all five of us had a hand in writing.” Me and Mae began playing music and then decided to record some music. “We kind of did it backwards. We refined our music on stage and then recorded it,” said Mae. “That was really important to us, echoed Meehan. “We started doing singles
and then our manager came to us and said it is time to make a CD. It is about the songs. Our songs have to be good to keep people coming back.” The Oak Ridge Boys made their fourth appearance at the Big Valley Jamboree because they know it is a major stop for the top bands. “Playing in Camrose is huge for us and the next time we play here we want to progress to the main stage. Some artists have played for years and are here for the first time. We started the band just over a year ago and we made it here. It is a tribute to our management and it shows that we are headed in the right direction,” said Meehan. “We drove 14 hours overnight to get here and we do it again for the next show, so we are paying our dues,” added Mae. “We are working hard. We want the big stage.” The band’s debut album, Off the Rails, was released on May 13 and the band has been very busy since then. “Love Me Leave Me Lonely” was the first song they recorded, the first single they released, and one of the most accessible,

melodic and memorable tracks. The band also added two popular country music hits for inclusion on the album, putting their own spin on the Johnny Cash classic “Ring of Fire” as well as Dolly Parton’s upbeat “9 to 5.”
“I think one of the big things that sets us apart in the country genre is that we do operate as a band,” said Meehan. “We’re a unit. And the fact that we write all of our own songs is also something special.”

Planning ramping up for second Bailey Harvest Festival By Lea Polny
The second annual Bailey Theatre Harvest Fundraising Festival on Sept. 6 is going to be an entertaining evening of food and fun, starting with a hilarious game of Minute-to-Win-It, sponsored by Lynx. Then Danny Hooper gets into the act with the live auction. Thanks to generous sponsors the auction has much to offer this year, beginning with a beautifully appointed VIP table with food service first, drinks, swag bag, and more. The table is sponsored by Tish’s Fashions and decorated by Kristen Hunter, with special touches by Frankie’s Flowers, Paper Blush and Shine Day Spa. The live auction will also include everything from an original oil painting by Audrey Pfannmuller, to a handmade quilt by Carol-May Cote, with lots

of special surprise packages in between. Last year’s live auction alone earned $22,150 for The Bailey.
“I contacted local food producers and processors and organized a great live auction item for this year,
Savour the Flavours of Camrose County,” says Marian Williams. “The lucky bidder will get a monthly home delivery of fresh, local foods for an entire year, including fresh turkey for Thanksgiving and ending with a picnic for four at Camrose County Conservation Park, catered by Prairie Oven. It’s going to be a great year for the lucky winner of this one.” A silent auction, made possible by all our generous community donors, will offer everything from luggage and great season passes like Rose City Roots, to one-of-a-kind jewelry and so much more. Adding to the evening are butlered hors d’oeuvres and a great choice of liquid refreshments including a Caesar bar with all the trimmings, sponsored by
Sun Life Financial. There will also be a chance at some top quality wines from a private collection, as well as a harvest photo booth by Glen Millar. “There is something for everyone at this Bailey Harvest, says organizer Kim Hann. “We are starting the evening earlier this year, so we have more time for the dance. We are looking forward to an entertaining evening thanks to our generous sponsors. So come to the Harvest! It’s the ideal way to show your love and support for our theatre.” Harvest Fundraising Festival tickets are available at the Bailey box office, 780-672-5510 or through www.baileytheatre.ca. Check the website for a peek at live auction items.

It’s a Wonderful Life requires a cast of five males and three females but, like The Three Musketeers, that is just the minimum number required. “A cast of 10 to 12 members would be great,” said director Sylvia Lyon. It’s a Wonderful Life will be performed in the form of an old-time radio broadcast, in which characters deliver their lines into a microphone. “The members of the audience will get the same story as the movie version but there won’t be actors moving around on the set like they would in other types of plays,” said Lyon. “They will have to rely on their imagination.” The play’s biggest challenge will be to get the right timing on the sound effects. “They (the cast) will have to make different sounds for the opening of the cash register, the dropping of coins into the register, the cash drawer shutting,” explained Lyon. “They going to be working hard to get everything just right.” Another challenge will be for the actors to come up with different voices for the characters that they play. “The actors will be playing two or three different characters so they will have to design different voices for each one,” said Lyon. It’s a Wonderful Life is based on the short story The Greatest Gift, which Philip Van Doren Stern wrote in 1939 and published privately in 1945. The play centres on George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls and his encounter with a guardian angel, who shows him what the world would have been like had he never been born. The silver screen version, made by Frank Capra, is one of the most loved films in American cinema and has become traditional viewing during the Christmas season. “It’s a classic play that everybody loves,” said Lyon. “It puts you in the Christmas spirit every time you watch it.” It’s a Wonderful Life will be staged at the Bailey Theatre. “We like the setup of the Bailey Theatre for the dinner theatre aspect of the show,” said Lyon, adding the Friday night show will tie in with the annual Midnight Madness event. Special family pricing will be offered for the Thursday night and Sunday afternoon performances. Those who are interested in being part of The Three Musketeers or It’s a Wonderful Life but can’t make auditions are encouraged to call Hicks at 780-608-6371 or Lyon at 780-672-7877.

SCHOOL YEAR CALENDAR
On behalf of the teachers, administrators, and support staff, we would like to welcome each and every student to Battle River School Division for the 2014-2015 school year. Staff will continue to strive to achieve the vision: Every Student, Every Day, A Success by providing a holistic educational experience focused on the academic, character, and relationship development of each student.

In addition, we’ve had a number of leadership changes and, as a result, are welcoming several new members to the BRSD Division and School Administration teams, as listed on this page. 2014-2015 promises to be an exciting time that will bring many rewards and successes for each student in Battle River School Division. Let’s get started!
Due to longer instructional days, most “Feeder Schools” have additional ‘feeder days’ on which students will not be in attendance. Holden, Ryley, Allan Johnstone and Cornerstone Christian School are operating with a four-day week. Principals at “Feeder Schools” and at the four-day week schools will likely distribute a slightly modified school year calendar for their students.

Time to register By Dan Jensen
Having a hard time deciding which club or organization you want to join this fall? Want to explore all your options before taking the final plunge? You’ll have that opportunity when the seventh annual Community Registration Night is held at the Camrose Fieldhouse from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 4. An estimated 60 to 70 organizations will be setting up tables to accept registrations and answer any questions you have about their programs. Community Registration Night has been growing every year. A total of 1,100 people passed through the doors in 2013. “That tells me this community is recognizing Community Registration Night as an excellent place to learn about what the community has to offer in all things related to sports, arts, recreation, learning opportunities and volunteer opportunities,”
PRIVATE PIANO, VOICE AND MUSIC THEORY LESSONS AVAILABLE. Register now.

Week of Aug. 26th, Sept. 2 and Sept. 9 said organizer Sheralyn Dobos. The floor plan for Community Registration Night is drawn up carefully in advance so that the groups that have the most interest are spread out throughout the facility. “We have some groups like Camrose Special Olympics, soccer and the Camrose Spirals that draw really well,” said Dobos. The Community Registration Night used to put on free draws and a barbecue, but that is no longer the case. “We decided that the event itself was what people were coming for and that all the work to do the extras wasn’t necessary,” said Dobos. “People come for the value of the event itself.”

Q.
Why choose luxury vinyl tile or luxury vinyl plank?
A.
You won’t believe it’s vinyl. Vinyl flooring has been around for generations. Today’s vinyl isn’t the faux flooring of yesteryear. Modern options are unique and trendy with finishes that closely resemble wood, tile and even stone. Cutting-edge technologies and digital designs make natural-looking textures and greater visual depth possible. Vinyl goes everywhere. Since vinyl replicates hardwood or tile, you can use it in so many ways throughout your home. From highmoisture spaces like bathrooms, to cozy family rooms where you want the look of hardwood. Comfortably superior. Today’s vinyl is available in sheets or as luxury vinyl tile. And whichever application works in your space, you’ll love the comfort it provides. Step across a vinyl floor in your stocking feet, and you’ll notice a more pliable feel to this surface that is relaxed and footfriendly. While there’s much to consider in creating the desired look, style and long-term performance of your floors, know that you’ll find beautiful flooring that’s made affordable at Wideman Carpet One. Plus, the experts at Wideman Carpet One are always available to assist you personally and answer any questions you may have.

Is it worth it to register for a GST number even if I am not required to do so?
A business that earns more than $30K per year in gross sales must obtain a GST number and file returns, bbut if the annual income is less, it is optional. While filing GST is an extra deadline to be considered, and may feel like a hassle, it is the most effective way to save money on your taxes. The GST that a business pays to CRA is the difference between what they take in and what they pay out. So 100% of the GST you pay on your expenses goes back in your pocket. If you are not a GST registrant, the GST you pay is simply an expense, meaning you are not taxed on that money as income, giving you a maximum of 39% as tax savings. If you do decide to register to collect GST, ensure that you call CRA to do so as early as possible, enabling you to claim Input Tax Credits on your startup costs. It is possible to file a GST return and actually get a refund if your costs exceed your income.

A:
The signs at these temporary ssales, posted by out-of-town suppliers, aare hard not to notice. When saving tthousands for a tub is screaming out iin print, it’s hard not to stop by. But, it’s usually wise to drive right by. The old adage, “If it looks too good to be true, it probably is,” should be heeded. The margins in the hot tub business simply do not allow for such reductions! (Sadly, for us not even close!) It’s better to buy locally. As your local dealer we are routinely needed to provide helpful advice, chemical information, water analysis, be responsible for warranty work and provide parts. We have often been unable to locate fittings, pumps and filters for tubs bought at lot sales. We have listened to the embarrassing stories conveyed by unsuspecting buyers of tubs not designed for Canadian winters. Others have low grade overseas components which will fail after a few months or a year or two of service. We invite you to stop by and thoroughly check us out. We’re here to stay!

Brodeur into coaching By Murray Green
Former Ottawa Senators and Camrose Kodiaks goalie Mike Brodeur has been named the Fort McMurray Oil Barons’ video and goalie coach. The Oil Barons compete against the Kodiaks in the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL). Brodeur, 31, joined Fort McMurray after a nine-year professional career that included time in the National Hockey League with the Ottawa Senators.“We’re excited to have Mike join us, with his wealth of experience,” said Oil Barons head coach and general manager Curtis Hunt. “He’s a guy I know from coaching him, and he’s a guy that is going to bring some youth and enthusiasm into our locker room, as well as an understanding of what it takes to play at the next level.” Brodeur was a goalie for the Camrose Kodiaks from 2001 to 2003, winning a league championship, a Doyle Cup, and reaching the Royal Bank Cup final in 2003. “I’m extremely excited about this opportunity to join the Oil Barons team,” said Brodeur. “It’s been a dream of mine to become a coach, and to get my foot in the door and become a part of such a great organization. It’s the perfect chance for me to take this new step.” In 2003, Brodeur was selected in the seventh round of the NHL Entry Draft, 211th overall, by the Chicago Blackhawks. He began his professional career with stops in Norfolk and Rockford in the American Hockey League. He was a member of the Binghamton Senators for two seasons, including their Calder Cup-winning year in 2010-11. With the Oil Barons, Brodeur will hold a combined role, primarily coaching the goaltenders on both the technical and mental sides of the game, as well as coding and preparing game video for use by the coaching staff. “Being a backup for part of my career, watching the game was what I did,” said Brodeur. “I did a lot of watching and analyzing, and I think I can use that to help these players analyze their game and fix the small things.” Camrose visits Fort McMurray on Oct. 17. Mark Dec. 20 on your calendar because that is the date Brodeur will be back to face the Kodiaks.

Q.
I’m often asked why is travel good for you?
A:
Travel is a great way to expand one’s mind. Our clients come back with a m ddifferent view of the world and have more tolerance and admiration for other m ccultures. Studies show students who travel abroad are nearly twice as likely to complete a college degree and outearn their pears by more than 40%. It’s a great way to experience wonderful new food possibilities. Employees who travel regularly are proven to be more productive, have less stress, achieve higher incomes, have higher morale, and are less likely to experience burnout. Travel typically leads to becoming more active: more walking, more water sports, more hiking or bike riding. Result: improved mental and physical health. Group travel brings people together as new experiences are shared. It’s a great way to dabble in or learn a new language. Find souvenirs, home decorating ideas and take photos which will be cherished forever. Create memories. And, dare we say it: It’s a great way to enjoy more sex! 1/3 of all vacationers’ say sex is better and more frequent during travel. Denmark even has a contest at present called ‘Do It For Denmark,’ a serious way to solve their current 27 year old birthrate. Answer provided by:

Q.
L Leaves are turning and the evening air is a getting crisp. g What can you recommend for the cooler days ahead?
A:
Looks like you could use some ccomfort food and drink to warm yyour spirits. We’ve just received Rum Chata, a cream liqueur that’s a blend C oof five-time distilled Caribbean rums and Wisconsin dairy cream with cinnamon, vanilla and other ‘secret flavors’. It’s origin dates back to the ancient Egyptians who ground the chufa nut with water, cinnamon and sugar. Here’s a recipe to warm you from the inside out on a crisp Saturday morning:
Rum Chata French Toast - 3 eggs - 1/2 cup of milk - 1/4 cup Rum Chata - 8 slices of white or French bread - 1 tbsp butter Leave bread slices out in a paper bag overnight to dry out. With fork, beat together eggs, milk, Rum Chata. Heat butter in pan over medium heat until melted. Dip bread slices into mixture and fry until golden brown (2-3 min. per side). A perfect way to start your day!
Q.
How common is hearing loss?
A:
Having a hearing loss today is not as uncommon as one may believe. u The following statistics from the Better Hearing Institute illustrate this gap B bbetween those with hearing losses and those who seek care. - 1 in 4 workers exposed to high levels of noise will develop a hearing loss - only 13% of general practitioners screen for hearing loss. - 3 in every 10 people over age 60 have a hearing loss - 1 in every 6 people between ages 41 to 59 has a hearing loss. - 1 in every 14 Generation X’ers (29-40) already has a hearing loss. - 1.4 million children (under 18) have hearing problems - Only 1 in 5 people who could benefit from a hearing aid actually wear one. - 9 out of 10 hearing aid users report improvements in their quality of life. Clearly, these statistics are startling. This truly indicates that a lot of people are choosing to go without the benefits of solutions for their hearing loss. Most often, this can be due to confusion over what benefit hearing aids can provide and which type of hearing aid is best for a specific person’s loss. Call today for a consultation.

I am worried about the sun damaging my furniture and floors, but I still want to enjoy my beautiful view. How should I dress my windows to solve both of these issues?
A:
Solar shades are an ideal choice f anyone wishing to maintain an for e exterior view while keeping heat out and c coolness within. While maintaining your c comfort, Solar shades block UV rays, protecting interiors from damage and minimizing TV and computer glare. Choose higher openness(7%-14%) fabrics for a better view to the outside, or lower openness(1%-5%) fabrics for better UV blockage. A solar shade is a convenient and easy-to-operate roller shade that is available in a broad selection of colors and valance or fascia styles. Many fabrics in the solar shade collection also coordinate with sliding panel fabrics to accommodate patio or garden doors. Use a versatile dual roller shade to have control over the amount of light entering your room and the degree of privacy. The innovative design pairs two fabrics from the solar and /roller shade collections. Either shade can be raised or lowered independently of the other to give you both privacy at night and a view during the day, while still keeping out UV rays and heat.

Q.
Should I get a flu vaccine this fall?
A:
The single best way to protect against getting the flu, reduce passing on the flu to others, cut down on doctors’ visits, save on health care costs and decrease the number of flu-related hospitalizations and deaths is to get a flu vaccination. I urge everyone 6 months of age or older to obtain the flu vaccine this fall. It will be available in the coming weeks at our pharmacy department. It is especially important for certain individuals to not procrastinate about this important step in personal health: people 65 years or better, if you have medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or chronic lung disease. Pregnant women and people who live with, or care for, others should also not second-guess the advantages of a flu shot. Conversely, you should not book a flu vaccination for a child younger than 6 months. As the flu vaccine may contain egg, it is important for you to tell us if you are allergic. The scientific data regarding flu vaccinations is overwhelmingly in favour. Count on us this fall to help you get through winter without “catching” the flu. Answer provided by:

Bringing financial transparency to First Nations Kevin Sorenson,
The financial statements of First Nation leaders from across Canada are starting to appear online as the deadline to comply with a new federal transparency law has passed. This is because our Conservative Government passed the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. This Act, which received Royal Assent on March 27, 2013, has been applauded by taxpayer
advocacy groups and First Nations communities because it empowers First Nations community members across Canada and ensures they are informed of their community’s financial situation. While many First Nations have actively publicized this information for years, our Government introduced this legislation because we had heard concerns from First Nations community members across the country
who wanted access to financial information on their community without fear of intimidation or reprisal. Recently, it was reported that a chief from a small First Nation in British Columbia was paid nearly $1 million last year, according to documents disclosed by the band. The reported salary of the Chief is very troubling and we are pleased that because of this legislation community members in
this First Nation now have access to this information and can hold their own leadership to account. Our Government believes that First Nations, like all Canadians, deserve transparency and accountability from their band leaders. This is why we passed the First Nations Financial Transparency Act which, of course, the Liberals and the NDP voted against in the House of Commons. Shamefully, Justin
Trudeau recently announced that if the Liberals were elected in 2015, he would repeal the First Nations Financial Transparency Act. Justin Trudeau would keep this basic financial information hidden from First Nation communities and taxpayers. This is an affront to First Nations community members and to all Canadians taxpayers that this act is intended to serve. Continued on page 47

Royal Canadian Legion wants City to take over cenotaph The cenotaph at its former location.
By Dan Jensen
The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion wants the City of Camrose to re-assume full ownership of the First World War and Second World War cenotaphs. The cenotaphs were removed from their location on 48 Avenue last year when the Legion moved into the former Knights of Columbus building on Grand Drive. “They were moved and put into storage,” said Legion Sergeant-at-Arms Lloyd Dool in a presentation to City council Aug. 5. The Legion does not have the money to develop the property just south of Camrose and District Centennial Museum that it received from the City for the cenotaph placement. “The property we have been given is a spike in the ground with four other spikes around it,” said Dool. “There is no legal description so we can’t even go for a permit.” The Legion claims that the city of Camrose is the rightful owner of the cenotaphs. “As far as I know the Legion does not own the cenotaphs,” explained Dool. “The cenotaphs were presented to the city of Camrose.” Historical records show the Harry Connor chapter of the IODE (Imperial Order
of Daughters of the Empire) donated the First World War Memorial to the citizens of Camrose in 1919, before there was a legion. The cenotaph’s first location was on Main Street, followed by the old outdoor swimming pool at the corner of 50 Street and 47 Avenue and lastly, the former Legion building on 48 Street, where members of the Legion provided the maintenance. Dool said if the city takes over the cenotaphs the Legion would help with the maintenance and apply for grants available from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. He expressed doubt, however, as to whether any money would be available from the department or the government this year. “They have money that is available but you have to apply for it and it usually takes six months to a year. In the meantime, we would like to have the cenotaphs up so that people can remember the fallen.” In the event the city does not want to assume full ownership, the Legion is asking that the city provide money so that the cenotaphs can be put back on display, preferably in time for this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony Nov. 11.
Council was non-committal at the meeting on the direction it was prepared to go, noting that it does not have any money in the budget to cover the $20,000 it would cost to build a pad or the $20,000 it would cost to put the monuments on top of that pad, let alone the lighting that would be needed. Camrose Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen told council the move of the cenotaphs to Rudy Swanson Park would require some engineering. “They are large and heavy objects and we want them properly placed with landscaping around them.” Dool said the Legion has already talked to an engineer. “He was going to charge us $1,500 to do his engineering, but he has since said that he would do it for free.” Legion poppy fund chair Ragnar Gislason said a couple of Camrose business people have agreed to donate the flag pole and pay for its installation. The Legion prefered the Rudy Swanson Park location for the cenotaphs over the park across the street from its current building, feeling the park would draw away from their historical importance and purpose. “It would be nice to have it by the Legion,” said Dool, but there are a lot of other towns and cities where the cenotaph is nowhere near the Legion. “The spot that (the city) gave us is a good spot because it has meaning. It used to be the army camp. It is close to the community centre so if we ever get kicked out of the CRE and have to go to the community centre the cenotaph is there. It is actually an ideal spot.”

Many different ways for you to give back to the community Submitted
It’s important to help out your community by giving back, even if it’s in a small, simple way. You don’t have to do much to make a positive impact and improve the day for those around you. The people in our communities do so much for us in our daily lives so it’s nice to give back and show some appreciation. If you don’t have money to spend, share your time by volunteering or offer your skills and use your creativity to make a difference in your neighborhood. Giving back does not always mean you need to give a monetary donation. There are many ways to give
back by simply donating your time. 1. Hold a garage sale Go through your house and gather up items like clothes, toys, books, and other household items that you no longer use or want and start your own garage sale. You can even share your idea with other neighbors and ask them to donate any unwanted items to your garage sale. All of the proceeds from your sale can be donated to a local charity or shelter in your neighborhood that could use the help. 2. Visit a nursing home Many elderly people don’t have any family or friends to visit them at the nursing home, and they feel very lonely when they have
no one to visit with. Stop by your local nursing home and spend some time with the residents. Talk to them, listen to their stories or even bring a game to play or movie to watch. Take it a step further and coordinate a play or musical performance; the elderly love this type of entertainment. Elderly people love spending time with children who have a positive and radiant energy. 3. Volunteer after school There are plenty of after school programs and groups that could use extra help with the kids. These programs often need more volunteers to help with activities and chaperones for trips. You can help kids learn a
skill like playing a sport, riding a bike, arts and crafts, growing a plant and more. Kids look up to the different people in their lives and appreciate those who help them, teach them, and spend time with them. It’s good to know that you are the positive influence in the lives of young children who will one day grow up to become successful and smart. 4. Create care packages Care packages for the homeless and those in need are simple to make and you don’t need to spend too much money to make them. You can visit a dollar store and pick up some essential items like soap, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, socks, underwear,
and canned food to put in a box and deliver to a homeless shelter or soup kitchen in your area. During the cold winter months you can collect gloves, hats, scarves, and jackets to donate so people can keep warm. 5. Clean the neighborhood Volunteer to help clean up your neighborhood and pick trash off the street and sidewalks. Encourage others to do the same and put up “no littering” signs around town. Also visit your local park and offer to clean up trash. When others see you doing your part to keep it clean, they will likely be more mindful of where they leave their trash and some might be inspired to follow your lead.

Pension Plans Act takes effect Sept. 1 The Employment Pension Plans Act provides more flexibility to private sector pension plans, improves their long-term stability and encourages the establishment of new plans. The 2012 Act and regulation make it easier for private sector employers to offer or continue to offer pension plans. Toward this end, the Act and regulation establish funding rules for private sector pension plans that choose to move to a target benefit model on a go-forward basis only. The 2012 Act and regulation are separate and distinct from what was proposed with Bill 10 in spring 2014. Unlike Bill 10, the 2012 Act and regulation do not allow
private sector pension plans to retroactively convert previously accrued defined benefits to target benefits. The Employment Pension Plans Act was passed unanimously in the Legislature and received Royal Assent in December 2012. The proclamation was delayed pending the drafting and approval of the accompanying Employment Pension Plan Regulation. With the regulation passed by Cabinet on July 22, the Act can now become law. “Private sector plan sponsors such as employers and unions have expressed concern about the long-term viability of their plans and have demanded more flexibility,” said Doug Horner,
president of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance. “To further delay proclaiming this Act and its regulation would be irresponsible to the many organizations across Alberta who are eagerly awaiting it.” “The new legislation has been anxiously awaited and is a welcome development for plan sponsors and members in Alberta. Attractive features of the legislation include its promotion of innovation in plan design, more flexible funding rules and reduced administrative complexity,” said Chris Brown, former Alberta chair of the Joint Expert Panel on Pension Standards and partner at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP.

Horseshoe champs By Olof Pettersen
I’m from Camrose, bur formerly from Daysland. This year Bruce had a very good stampede. The RCMP also put on a good show. There was a good crowd this year, just like last year. People didn’t have to look to far to find me. They knew I’d be close to the horseshoe pits. This was my 40th year in Bruce entering the horseshoe tournament. The last two years my partner was Darcy Court of Edson. He is also a very good player and my friend. We won first place in the doubles event. Last year, we were second in doubles and I was second in singles. This brings my medal collection to 95. This year, two teams were tied for first and a playoff game was held to determine the winner. The other team was from Bruce and they were very good players. The player from Bruce put a ringer on and the other show was tight against the peg. Then it was my turn and I had to get a ringer. So, would you believe, I put a ringer on to cancel his. We were going for 21 points and in my last shot, I landed another ringer to end the game. The game was close from beginning to end.
Camrose United welcomes new minister By Murray Green
It didn’t take Liz CarterMorgan long to decide to call Camrose her new home. The diaconal minister accepted the call to serve at the Camrose United Church after the retirement of Mary Ann Pastuck. She will be working alongside ordained minister Alan Richards. “I was in Sherwood Park for about six and a half years, so I knew some of the congregation in Camrose by working with some of its youth and human ministry,” said minister Liz. “We would get together at Bar Harbour Camp on Buffalo Lake.” The new minister to Camrose started her faith journey in Kitchener, Ontario. “I was involved in the United Church right from the beginning. My older sister is a minister, so I didn’t want to follow in her footsteps. I wanted to be a pharmacist. I didn’t want to go to the University of Toronto because there were too many people. I went on to the University of Manitoba and that is where I fell in love with the prairies,” said Liz. “I tried some religious studies and in my second semester I transferred to the Canadian Mennonite Bible College (later called Canadian Mennonite University). I could still do my studies at the University of Manitoba at the same time,” she explained. Minister Liz switched to Queen’s University in Kingston to complete her studies. “I was sent (internship
between second and third years) to Alsask, Saskatchewan. When I finished my schooling, I was sent to the other side of Saskatchewan to Gainsborough for three years,” she recalled. “Then I accepted the call to go to Sherwood Park.” Minister Liz and her partner have 21-month-old twins. “Camrose came open and I thought it would be a good fit. It is a good place to start a new chapter. I liked the opportunity to work with a team and wanted to work with Alan. I also liked how progressive the church is in its thinking. The study groups are good,” added Liz. With an aging population in Camrose, her first challenge will be to expand the youth programs. “All of the youth, teens and young families have needs. I want to find out what they are looking for. I want to know what needs they have and how that fits into the strengths the church has. I want to see where the gaps are. We are not competing with the movie theatres or the sports facilities. What we offer is events or programs where they matter to adults that are not their parents. We allow people to be with people who share the same ideals and develop friendships,” she added. “I enjoy working with teens because they do ask hard questions.” Minister Liz started on July and was involved in her first service in Camrose on July 27.
Liz Carter-Morgan
“By joining the church in the summer it allows me time to see what has been done and what has been working, before planning for a busy fall schedule.” She plans on getting in touch with members of the congregation who are not always seen in church. “I want to learn more
about them, find out their needs and encourage them to become more involved,” said Liz. “People come to church now not because they have to, but because they want to.” Minister Liz welcomes people to introduce themselves to her on Sunday mornings and visit with her.
Knights of Columbus golf tournament supports hospice By Murray Green
The Camrose Knights of Columbus chapter will be hosting a State Golf Tournament on Saturday, Sept. 13 at the Camrose Golf Course. The service club has chosen the Hospice Society of Camrose and District as recipients of any proceeds. The first 120 golfers will be accepted into the tournament. You do not have to be a K of C member and anyone can golf. “K of C holds State Golf Tournaments yearly and we put in a bid to host it,” explained tournament chair Barry Stotts. “We agreed to host and then we looked for an organization to donate the proceeds to. We picked the Hospice Society of Camrose and District because they made some presentations to us in the past. The goal of having a free-standing Hospice facility is one that we share. Once the facility is built, we want to dedicate, or sponsor, one room. We want to help them move towards that.” Registration includes 18 holes of fun golf, a cart and supper. Prizes will be

awarded in the hole in one and putting contests. Golfers are asked to register at noon and be ready for the 1 p.m. shotgun start. “The whole idea is to create a fun family tournament environment in a scramble format,” said Raymond Cyre of the K of C. “It won’t be as structured. We wanted a format where we can raise
money for the Hospice Society.” Everyone will be able to purchase 50/50 draw tickets and envelopes to improve their score. “Cheater packs are available,” added Cyre. “Cheater packs are envelopes to use if you mess up a shot, or to adjust your shots. They include things like a free
mulligan and a piece of rope. The rope can be used to move your putt the length of the rope closer to the hole for an easier shot. The rope can be cut to use the amount you need until it is used up. You can buy as many packs as you want. Its a fun way to add excitement to an already fun tournament, but also a way to raise extra money.” The greatest gift will be the added awareness of the local hospice society. “We want to create more awareness of the society and the fact that a facility is needed,” said Stotts. “It should be known to a lot more people, so they can get involved. First and foremost, we are creating awareness and secondly, doing fundraising.” The K of C set a low entry fee, just to break even. The club is hoping people will buy into the draws for most of the fundraising. “The Knights of Columbus are prepared to donate $500 right off the bat to get things started,” said Stotts. “We ask that golfers register by Aug. 31, so we know how many we have for supper.” The Hospice Society of
Camrose and District will be supplying volunteers for the tournament. “We are full of gratitude for the Knights of Columbus for putting on a golf tournament and keeping us in mind,” said John Person, chair of the Hospice Society of Camrose and District. “Any time we can create awareness for our society that is good. We don’t have a free-standing hospice north of Red Deer. We had a needs assessment done and there is defiantly a need for it. Its good for us to help with the golf tournament and it is fun working with other groups.” About 30 hospice society volunteers will help at the tournament. “Its been a great partnership with the hospice society,” added Stotts. The Camrose Knights of Columbus chapter first held a tournament like this in 2002. “We had 140 golfers for that and we have hosted curling bonspiels as well with success,” said Stotts.

Chrysler 200 The new benchmark for mid size sedans
Tony Smith By Dan Jensen
The all new Chrysler 200 at Camrose Chrysler is a vehicle that begs to be seen. “The Chrysler 200 will be the new benchmark for mid-size sedans,” said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Noel Skoglund. “It is loaded with features that both drivers and passengers will appreciate. Beautiful exterior The Chrysler 200 displays an aggressive stance and broad shoulders that are accented by a signature horizontal front grille. The sharp LED technology that illuminates the tail lamps is also available in the fog lamps and daytime running lamps. A Metrology Centre ensured the precision fit of every part of the vehicle, resulting in improved wind and water resistance and an exceptionally quiet ride. “Every Chrysler 200 is designed, planned, engineered, built, inspected and tested above and beyond any standard,” said Skoglund. Fuel efficiency The advanced engine design and unsurpassed aerodynamics combine to give the Chrysler 200 an impressive 26 per cent
improvement in fuel economy over the outgoing model. “You’ll notice the fuel numbers look different for all makes of 2015 model year cars and light trucks,” said Skoglund. “The federal government has implemented a new five cycle test method to replace the two cycle method. It now takes into account air conditioner usage, cold temperature operation, and higher speed driving with more rapid braking and acceleration for more realistic fuel economy numbers. With the new five cycle method, the Chrysler 200 gets as low as 6.4 L/100 km (44 mpg) highway, which equates to 5.3 L/100 km (53 mpg) highway under the old system. Either way, this is performance that powers you past the gas pumps.” The powerful and efficient 2.4L TigersharkTM MultiAir® I-4 delivers 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque. It utilizes MultiAir technology, an electronically controlled hydraulic system, to regulate the intake valves for strong low-end torque, exceptional efficiency and reduced emissions.
Where other mid-size sedans make do with up to six gears, the nine speed automatic transmission vaults the Chrysler 200 to the front of the class. The added gears bring more refinement, create smoother gear changes and improve acceleration off the line and when at cruising speeds. This means stronger acceleration, because the ratio steps between its gears are much smaller than that of a five or six speed transmission. The available allwheel-drive system delivers ultimate traction in all conditions. It features a fully disconnecting rear axle that optimizes fuel economy by operating only the front wheels when all-wheel traction is not needed. Best of all, this system is seamless and fully automatic, so all you have to do is drive. Technology The world-class performance of the all-new Chrysler 200 extends fully to the technology that surrounds you. With the available Uconnect® multimedia centre, you can control all your entertainment and even make hands-free calls and texts. You can also activate the optional heated
steering wheel and seats, all on the available touch screen – the largest in its class. The 200 also offers a new seven inch customizable in-cluster display that keeps you informed of all vital vehicle data, while the convenient standard Keyless Enter ‘n GoTM system lets you unlock the doors simply by touching the front door handle. Safety Every 2015 Chrysler 200 comes standard with eight `air bags. This includes advanced multistage driver and frontpassenger, supplemental front-seat side, supplemental side-curtain, and driver and front-passenger knee-blocker air bags. The all-new Chrysler 200 surrounds you with a full spectrum of safety when you need it most. The standard Electronic Park Brake with Safe Hold is designed to protect you during unexpected driving events. If you happen to open the driver’s door, unlatch the seat belt and exit while still in a forward or reverse gear, the system will automatically engage the parking brake to secure the vehicle. The advanced Blind-
Spot Monitoring system can help you avoid potentially dangerous situations by alerting you when a vehicle enters your blind-spot area via an audible alert inside the cabin and a visual alert on the side-view mirror. Think of it as a second set of very advanced eyes. Class-exclusive adaptive cruise control with stop and go adjusts the vehicle’s cruising speed automatically, based on programmed speed and vehicle distance settings. In certain circumstances, it can also bring the vehicle to a complete stop without any driver intervention. The Chrysler 200 practically parks itself. Using ultrasonic sensors, it controls the steering angle while displaying driver directions for gear position, brake and accelerator on the customizable in-cluster display. Simple and efficient, this is a feature your bumpers will truly appreciate every time. You can see the 2015 Chrysler 200 by visiting Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 East, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2476 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Continued from page 34 “Carmen created the camp and chose us because of our teaching styles. We don’t just teach dance styles, we teach the students how to dance. Normally instructors teach a step, step, step and step and it is memorization. We teach how to get better at this. We like to have a lot of fun with the students. They are here because they love to dance,” said instructor Alex Pesusich, who grew up in Denver, moved to Los Angeles and then to Vancouver when he married a Canadian girl. “We want to inspire the dancers.” The dance camp takes away all of the negative connotations associated with strict routines. “They are all positive and upbeat instructors. There are no divas, and the children really love that at this camp,” said Peacock. “I think it is great that five guys came from Vancouver and LA to Camrose to share their talent for five days.” The high number of male dancers is a good sign for the future. “Over the last few years we have seen more male dancers. Back when I went, I was the only one. It comes and goes, but this is a great year to have more males,” said Pesusich. “They are all different ages, which is good. Sometimes they don’t have the role models to look up to and we hope to provide a little of that.” Peacock said they are very good role models. “By the end of the week they were best buddies with everyone in the class,” she said. “I want to bring this camp back next year.” The camp helps all dancers reach the next level. “We are here for a week, so we are not stealing students from other dance clubs. We simply want to add instruction and bring fun into dance,” added Pesusich. “We encourage Camrose to support us like the surrounding communities do. People need to know that Carmen is doing this to help local dancers, not to take away from any other club. She holds these camps in 100 people villages because Carmen wants them to grow dance-wise. Now that we are in a bigger centre, it is the same giving, loving attitude.”

You might be aware that Alberta is the fastest growing province in Canada, but did you know the average weekly earnings in Alberta are more than 20 per cent higher than the national average? And did you know that Albertans are big on volunteering? More than 80 per cent of Albertans do some kind of volunteer work. These are just a few of the interesting facts you’ll find in the 2014 Alberta Official Statistics. Alberta’s updated official statistics are publicly available facts and information that describe conditions or changes taking place in our province. They cover a wide range of topics, including employment, healthcare, social services, the environment and the economy. Things you may not know about Alberta Alberta’s population grew by 3.5 per cent in 2013 – triple the national average – surpassing the four million mark for the first time. A newborn baby girl in Alberta is expected to live for nearly 84 years on average, whereas newborn boys are expected to live for almost 80 years. 2013 was a bumper year for crops, with production soaring 18 per cent higher than in 2012, keeping farm receipts near record levels. In 2013, the number of wildfires decreased from 1,555 to 1,193, remaining below the previous five-year average of 1,585 (2009-2013). The average monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment ranges from $739 in Medicine Hat to $2,061 in Fort McMurray. About 75 per cent of Alberta’s high school students graduated within three years of entering Grade 10 and almost 82 per cent within five years, a notable improvement since 2004-05. Alberta workers enjoyed the highest average weekly earnings ($1,108.01) in 2013 – 22 per cent above the national average. In 2012, Alberta’s total investment in upstream oil and gas reached a record of $51.9 billion. During the past decade, Alberta produced about onethird of the nation’s wheat, slightly more than one-third of the canola crop and almost half of the barley crop.

Obon in August By Brenda Knull BRSD teacher
Do you know what Obon is? It’s a Japanese custom based on Buddhist tradition where people believe the souls of one’s ancestors return to this world. People guide souls back to their home by making a horse out of summer vegetables, and a fire called mukaebi is placed in the front of the gate at each household. It is a time for people to give respect to relatives who have passed away. The majority of people in Japan adhere to Buddhism or Shinto. Many people in Japan celebrate Obon from Aug. 13 to 15. These dates can vary slightly between prefectures. Bon Odori is a style of dance which is performed during Obon. Men and women, young and old dance in a circle around a standing stage. Participants traditionally wear a yukata (summer cotton kimono) because this holiday occurs in the heat of the season. Last August, I did witness and participated in Bon Odori in Sapporo. Many people were wearing yukata; some were wearing costumes that reminded me of Halloween, and others were wearing normal street wear. Many Obon celebrations include a huge carnival with rides, games, and summer festival food like watermelon. Canada and Japan do have many things in common but there are still several cultural differences. I’ve become accustomed to some of these differences and quite enjoy them too. I can see myself experiencing reverse culture shock in the future. Something I took to quickly was the fact that Japan is not a tipping culture. Many people believe that good service is standard and tipping is rude. If you do decide to tip, place the money inside an envelope and hand over the envelope. It’s viewed as impolite to give cash directly from your pocket. I have yet to experience service that is anything less than exceptional. It doesn`t matter if I’ve dined in an upscale restaurant or asked for help at the supermarket, employees are always friendly and helpful. It seems as though it is common practice to take pride in the work that you do. There have been times when I have asked for directions only to have someone walk me directly to my destination. ATMs are another interesting difference to me. They are readily available and can be found in banks, post offices, and convenience stores. I have heard that there are ATMs that are 24 hours, but I have yet to come across them. The ATMs in Kamifurano generally close daily between 5 and 8 p.m. This took some getting used to, but I quickly learned that you have to plan ahead. The

short hours are somewhat advantageous since it keeps you from making extra purchases once you’ve run out of money and can no longer access an ATM. Many businesses operate on cash so if you end up with an empty wallet you might have to talk nicely to your friends or just not buy what it is you want. It’s quite common for people
to have a few hundred dollars in their wallet at all times just for the reasons I’ve just mentioned. Having that amount of cash on you may be a concern in some places but I don’t feel that it is here. I feel extremely safe and this is a land known for no theft and for honesty. It is common practice to leave your cellphone, bag or other personal

It’s a nice feeling to think that people are going to purposely go out of their way to help/respect you. Kamifurano and Camrose do have many things in

Tim McKay By Murray Green
Tim MacKay of Camrose is a model of consistency. The 15-year-old high jumper garnered another personal best height and a silver medal in high jump at the Athletics Canada Legion National Championships in Langley, B.C. on Aug. 15 to 18. MacKay leaped 1.86 metres to record his highest jump ever in competion. An Ontario high jumper reached 1.89m to edge MacKay out of a gold medal. He set a Summer Games record in the U15 high jump with a 1.85m leap to earn a gold medal. That mark also eclipsed the heights the U16 boys were reaching as well. The junior high student was using the Summer Games track and field event as a stepping stone for the nationals. “I was able to reach another personal best at nationals with a 1.86m, but I was aiming for gold,” said MacKay, who has steadily reached new heights all summer. “I now know I could have reached 1.89m like the winner, it just didn’t happen that day. I was a little tease because it was the first time competing without someone from my family being there.” MacKay is setting his goal at the two metre mark over the winter. “I’m getting that steady progression. I’m looking at the future and aiming for the mark that someone a year older than me is at,” he added. The high jumper will be training and maintaining his routine over the winter months as well as playing basketball as cross-training.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM
Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality. 2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system. 3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water color. 4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. 5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants.

Bringing financial transparency to Canada’s First Nations It’s yet another example that inexperienced Justin Trudeau is in way over his head. All other levels of government in Canada require f inancial transparency to ensure that annual budgets are made public. With increased access to basic f inancial informat ion, c om mu n it y members can make more informed decisions about the financial management and reporting of their elected officials. Our Government expects First Nation band councils to use tax payer dollars responsibly for the benefit of all community members. The First Nations Financial Transparency Act is consistent with generally accepted accounting rules that already apply to governmentowned businesses across Canada and reporting requirements for Members of Parliament under the Parliament of Canada Act and the Salaries Act. First Nations community members will not have to request the information through Band offices, but
still have the option to do so. The Act is also helping to encourage investment, economic development and growth, by creating a better environment for private sector investment, which strengthens the foundation necessary for the long-term prosperity in First Nation communities across the country. As part of the 2011 Speech from the Throne, our Government has committed to supporting democratic, transparent and accountable First Nation governments. This is but just one example of how our Government is taking action to support First Nations and ensure they have access to information detailing how public funds are spent in their communities. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.
