Indicative of the generosity of the Camrose and area business community is the hot tub shown here. Donated by Doneal and Russ Greipl, owners of R & D Hot Tubs, it is just one of the many live auction items which you will be able to bid on this Saturday. Over soft drinks, the local small business owners (wearing blue) invite a few of the STARS committee members to try the fit and feel of the tub.

STARS is a non-profit society that provides highly specialized emergency medical care and transportation for critically injured and ill patients. In 2013 STARS flew 29 missions to Camrose (nearly double from the 15 flown in 2012). Since 1985, STARS has flown more than 375 missions to Camrose and surrounding area. Countless lives have been saved thanks to STARS’ ability to provide care during the critical ‘golden hour’ of medicine. Annually, for the past twenty years, the

Camrose Friends of STARS committee has worked hard to host an evening which allows citizens and businesses of our community to show how grateful we are for the air ambulance helicopters and their skilled crew of physicians, nurses, paramedics and pilots. This year, in light of the milestone anniversary of the STARS fund-raiser in Camrose, your will find a remarkable array of donated silent and live auction items, a meal to remember, and an opportunity to dance to the sounds of Roger West, one of the best country dance bands in Western Canada. Buy your ticket now and show your support by attending the STARS Dine and Dance, which will take place this Saturday, November 1, at Camrose Regional Exhibition. Tickets are available from Diane at Farnham West Stolee, or any of the committee members shown above.

Recently, Bill and Martha Sites made a trip to Denmark to celebrate her brother’s 70th birthday. The celebration was held at the amusement park Bakken just outside the deer garden north of Copenhagen. A fun day spent with family and friends was thoroughly enjoyed. They visited Skagen, the tip of Denmark where two oceans meet. The Blue Planet, northern Europe’s largest aquarium and a middle age castle Sprøttrup, 1536. They also visited the Fregatten Jylland, an old steam frigat warship which is restored and used as a museum. They pronounced Legoland, pictured above, as “absolutely amazing!” The trip coincided with the couple’s 25th wedding anniversary. Along for the trip – The Camrose Booster.

Thanks to the Community!

Four years ago a group of dedicated club members started splitting and bagging firewood as a primary fund-raising project for the club. Because of unsurpassed community support, this initiative outgrew our ability to keep up with demand. As of October 1st, we have sold this business to Wesroc Landscaping Supplies. We hope you will continue buying your wood from this Camrose-based company. Thank you for your support over the years. Buying firewood from our club allowed us to give thousands of dollars annually to worthwhile charities and local organizations.

Camrose Branch No. 57 ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Tuesday, November 11, 2014 The Camrose Branch No. 57 of the Royal Canadian Legion is conducting their annual Wreath and Poppy Campaign. The purpose of the Poppy Fund is to provide assistance to ex-service personnel and their families who are in need. However, as the funds raised usually exceed that need, the surplus is used to improve life in the community through donations to local charities, purchase of hospital equipment as well as bursaries to local students that may have need. The annual Remembrance Day Service will be held at the CRE starting shortly before 11:00 a.m. Members of the general public are asked to attend and please be seated no later than 10:45 am so the veterans may enter, and the service commence, timed so that the two minute silence may be observed at 11:00 a.m. Come and help remember the participants of both world wars, Korea and Afghanistan as well as those personnel serving on United Nations Peace Keeping duties throughout the world today.

Move-in dates set for new City Hall By Dan Jensen

Only 133 more days until the opening of the new City Hall. Senior project manager (construction) Jocelyn Kew told City council in an Oct. 20 agenda package report that staff will be moving into the new building March 5 to 8, and that the first day of business will be on March 9. Kew said that approximately 50 men are working on the site each day, that the front curtain wall is now complete and is awaiting glass, and that the work on the mechanical units are expected to get underway Nov. 1. City manager Damian Herle told council that construction change orders issued to date total $513,447, and that approximately 15 per cent ($197,750) of the initial $1.35 million contingency still remains. “There have been a few more change orders than I would have liked to have seen,” said Herle. “My best viewpoint on that is assisted by our experienced project manager, who does not feel that there should be any large change orders remaining on the project. I can’t say for a fact that nothing will come up because if you are involved in a large construction project you simply can’t make that promise. I am certainly hoping, and I think we have a handle on the major issues that have been identified through the construction.” Herle noted that the cement is now cured on the

Work crews were busy enclosing the front curtain wall of the new city hall building last week before the glass is installed.

front of the building and that the south windows will be installed shortly. “At that point there really is some closing to the building,” he said. “After that any construction change orders should be of the relatively minor nature and hopefully there won’t be a lot of them to finish the project.” Herle said the City of Camrose was able to purchase the three lots to the

south of the new City Hall from the provincial government for less than the assessed value, and is expecting them to be available before the new City Hall is finished. “We have asked Bird (management, the contractor) to be in a position to move their construction trailers at the earliest possible opportunity this winter and perhaps move into

one or two offices of the building to finish up the smaller type projects. We have full reason to believe they will cooperate, however I don’t have an exact date on that.” The parking lot will feature lighting as well as electrical plug-ins. “It (the parking lot) is designed for staff parking so vehicles are going to have to be able to start after sitting

outside all day at -35 C, or whatever the case may be,” said Herle. The paving of the parking lot will happen as soon as the snow disappears and the ground dries. “That is a project that we will be managing in house and letting out in house in terms of the contract,” said Herle. “We hope to have that done shortly after we move into the facility.”

Railway Station, museum present budget requests By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park and the Camrose and District Centennial Museum presented their 2015 budget requests to City council at a committee of the whole meeting Oct. 20. Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park is asking for an operating grant of $28,968 to increase the weekly hours of the station coordinator from 20 to 25. The Railway Station and Park received a grant of $23,175 for 2014. “The Canadian Northern Society’s biggest challenge still remains adequate hours for the station coordinator to manage the overall fundraising, including grants, educational events, plan and organize operations, and market in a way that promotes all activities that assist the station to be as independent financially as possible,” said railway station chair Glenys Smith. “We hope to be an asset to the immediate and greater community and be an integral part of promoting community development through tourism, as well as to preserve our unique history.”

The Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park delivered educational programs with hands-on activities to 547 students and 125 adults in 2014. The Aboriginal Days celebration, which it hosted in partnership with the Camrose Arts Society, attracted a record crowd of over 1,000, while a Tribute to Prairie Women attracted 55 people for a storytelling outside the gazebo. The overall theme for the displays and activities was Tribute to Canadians at War, including the role of the railway. Local stories were collected and compiled, as well as a story and monologue developed on Helen Fowlds, a First World War nurse. “The Helen Fowlds story is now a book,” said Smith. “One of the books was donated to the public library and is now on the Trent University site to be used for research with credits to the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park. Plans have been made for other presentations of the story to the community in the coming months.” A Victory Garden

planted at the Station in 2014 used companion planting for pest control. “Our goal is to establish the Camrose Heritage Railway Station as an organic eco-centre,” said Smith. “We welcome photographers and artists to use the station’s 13 gardens. The gardens are visited from early spring until late fall by visitors from as far away as Ireland, United States and across Canada. Guests can take an interpretive tour of the gardens and site. More importantly, the gardens are used by our local people to sit and enjoy. We promote beautification of our city by example and plant by sharing our plants and information.” The Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park is projecting 2015 revenues of $75,493, including $10,500 from tea room sales, bookings and caterings, and $12,000 from private donations. Camrose and District Centennial Museum is requesting $167,740 to cover the salaries of a full-time curator at $35 per hour,

a full-time technician at $18 per hour, and the cost of building maintenance, repairs and upgrades. The grant the museum received from the City for 2014 was $60,000 ($34,800 cash and $25,200 for utilities, insurance, grounds upkeep and general maintenance). “In order for the Camrose and District Centennial Museum to run efficiently as an organization we require more staffing hours,” said a museum budget summary. “We currently have one parttime director of operations at 27 hours per week. We are unable to be proficient when we only have part-time minimum staff year round and we suffer from extreme burnout before the season is over due to under-staffing. This past season the director of operations also banked 240 hours due to the need to be at the museum supervising staff and organizing and working the fundraisers.” Museum treasurer Len Bell told council that while the museum receives grants from the provincial government for three summer staff,

those grants typically only cover 70 per cent of the total wages. “I did a quick calculation on one of our students this year and 30 per cent of his wage came to just over $2,400. We have been paying that out of pocket for the past several years. We would ask that the City help us out with that.” Bell also told council that the museum recorded an 85.15 per cent increase in guest book signatures. “That doesn’t necessarily mean an increase in attendance, but we actually had people manning our guest books, encouraging people to sign so that we could get an accurate count of the people that were actually coming onto our grounds.” Camrose Association for Community Living and the Centra Cam Vocational Training Association provided volunteers to assist with cleaning. With 13 buildings housing more than 80,000 Camrose and District Centennial Museum is one of the largest non-provincially run museums in Alberta.

If the skin is itchy or uncomfortable, or if you find that there is extra flaking, lack of moisture could be a problem. Moisturizer should be the staple of a skincare regimen. Experiment with moisturizers until you find the one that is the best match for your skin. • Use sun protection.

Camrose Chamber of Commerce recognizes small business excellence By Dan Jensen

Cloud 9 Day Spas was named 2015 Small Business of the Year at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Week awards banquet Oct. 23. Part of the Camrose business community for the last four years, Cloud 9 Day Spas offers registered massage therapy (prenatal, sport, trigger point, Swedish, hot stone and therapeutic), manicures, hair removal, Reiki, ThetaHealing, Angel Card Readings and Dyna-chi Detox. “We re unique in that we believe in All Better, All Natural, All About You, and our hand-picked and registered Team Angels truly care for their clients and co-workers and are passionate about what they do,” said owner Christine Dietz. Cloud 9 Day Spas has achieved Green Spa rating and has planted approximately 1,000 trees in the Forests of the Future program through Eminence Organic Skin Care.

Armena receives water By Murray Green

Dean Inman, representing Grant Thornton, presented the 2014 Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year to Christine Dietz, owner of Cloud 9 Day Spas.

The Canadian Brewhouse was named Franchise Business of the Year at the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Small Business Week banquet Oct. 23. Presenting the award to The Canadian Brewhouse owner DJ Ing was Chamber of Commerce president Jennifer Filip.

The Community Spirit Award, which recognizes a business or not-for-profit organization that gives back to the community in a generous way was presented to the Rotary Club of Camrose. Accepting the award from Chamber president Jennifer Filip was Rotary past president Dawn Anderson.

Louise Jones, left, from the Rural Alberta Business Centre, presented the 2014 Home Based Business award to Ashley Morton, of Premiere Event Management.

Mark Schneider, left, from ATB Financial, presented the Ambassador of the Year award to Trevor Vinet, from Re/ Max Real Estate.

The Hamlet of Armena will soon have full water service provided by the Capital Region Southwest Water Services Commission (CRSWSC). The membership of the commission includes Beaumont, Calmar, Camrose County, Hay Lakes, Leduc, Leduc County and Millet. A celebration of the water line’s completion will be held in Armena in mid-November indicated CRSWSC manager Kevin Cole at a Camrose County regular meeting on Oct. 14. “Eventually, we will have to replace, or add another line to supply water. Adding Millet to the line has reduced the life of the water line by a year,” said Cole. “We are experiencing a growth rate at 3.3 per cent each year. We are looking at twinning the line into Beaumont and to the airport. We are determining the improvements required to meet growth projections. We would increase rates to pay for the structure costs. We don’t have reserves, so if we start now by increasing the rate, we will have some funds to work with in five years.” This year the water line was extended from Hay Lakes to Armena. Councillor Doug Lyseng wanted to know what that meant for an average household. “A normal household would use 20 cubic metres of water per month. If we increase our rates by five cents like we are proposing, it will be a little over $1. I’d say $1.20 per house each month. It is not a lot per month,” Cole explained. Reeve Don Gregorwich asked about the demand for more water in the future. “Our lines to Armena can handle more water than is allocated to Armena. There is a possibility to bring more. We have to ask for more water to be allocated to us and then we distribute to our members,” said Cole. “Currently, Camrose County is at 3.56 cubic metres per hour. Leduc County isn’t using as much as they were allocated, so if they offered that up, there would be an opportunity to add more for Camrose County. The board can make decisions on allocation.” CRSWSC is planning for a steady increase in water demands to accommodate Camrose County.

Happy Halloween ffrom Grace Lutheran Church

Friday, October 31, beginning at 5 p.m. Bring your family for hot chocolate and candy to our church. Enjoy our Star Wars-themed costumes and jack-o-lantern display. ORIGIN OF HALLOWEEN AND TRICK OR TREAT The modern association of Halloween with ghoulish party feasts is rooted in the festival’s traditional links with the deceased. However, the real story is a little different from modern myths. All Hallows Eve (All Saints Eve) is the night before All Saints (November 1) and All Souls (November 2) when Christians remember all the ‘saints and martyrs’ and pray for the ‘souls of all the dead’. In Medieval Britain and Ireland, plain cakes called ‘souls’ were given out to the ‘soulers’, children and poor who went door to door saying prayers and singing psalms for the dead. Each cake eaten is a soul released from Purgatory.

Soul, soul, a soul cake! I pray thee, good missus, a soul cake! One for Peter, two for Paul, Three for Him what made us all!

Seniors’ Chat Keeping Active for Healthy Aging is Something to Celebrate on Nov. 28

Camrose Seniors’ Coalition will host its third annual Celebrating Seniors Day at the Mirror Lake Centre on Friday, Nov. 28. The theme: Keeping Active for Health Aging. Many Camrose and area seniors are already active, volunteering their time, talents, and skills to support all sorts of local programs. Many participate in churches and belong to service clubs. They shop in Camrose and host visits from out-of-towners, which is good for our local economy. As grandparents, they help care for grandchildren and keep family history alive as they pass stories on to the next generation. In recognition of seniors’ lives and community contributions, Camrose Seniors’ Coalition decided to hold its first Celebrating Seniors Day in 2012. The event has become an annual occasion. Thanks to some generous donations from local businesses, service clubs, and CDSS (Camrose and District Support Services) tickets are still just $25/person. They are available until November 21 at CDSS (2nd Floor, Community Centre) or Service Options for Seniors on 48th Street. Call 780-672-0141 or 780-672-4131 for more information.

Sorenson Fighting terrorism with democracy In the past week, there the international instruissues have been two attacks ments Canada has signed. Second on Canadian soldiers by In the end, it would be statement individuals who appear a Pyrrhic victory if terMinister of State (Finance) and Member of Parliament for Crowfoot Kevin Sorenson issued the following statement on the events in Ottawa last week. “In the midst of dangerous and tragic events yesterday on Parliament Hill, I witnessed some of Canada’s finest men and women in uniform display bravery that did our Nation proud. Many others could have been harmed, but the courage of our first responders kept us safe. “My prayers are with the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada. Likewise, my sympathies remain with the family and friends of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed earlier this week by an ISIL-inspired terrorist. We will forever remember their sacrifice and willingness to protect us. “This week’s events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of attacks we have seen elsewhere around the globe. “Together, we will remain vigilant against those at home or abroad who wish to harm us. We live in an increasingly dangerous and uncertain world, but Canada remains strong. Canadians will never be intimidated.”

to be linked to radical Islam. The deaths of the two soldiers—the first in a hit-and-run outside of a government building in Quebec, and the second in a shooting in front of the War Memorial next to Parliament Hill—have shocked Canadians. The shooting in front of the War Memorial, in particular, can be viewed as both a physical and symbolic attack on Canada. As someone who has lived in Ottawa, the images of shots being fired in Parliament and police with machine guns running through the streets of downtown Ottawa had a visceral effect. The shooting on Parliament Hill is virtually unprecedented in Canadian history and, certainly, nothing most Canadians ever expected to see. The linking of these acts to international terrorism and ISIS is troubling. While some are saying that this was to be expected considering Canada’s ongoing role in the War on Terror and the recent “call to arms” by ISIS against Canada, what is most important to consider is the way we react to these events. Some are calling for increased powers for the Canadian state and security agencies, or an increased role in the war against terror, while others blame the Canadian government for putting us

is this position and call for a complete withdrawal of our military from overseas operations. Shortly after 9/11, the Supreme Court of Canada stated: “On the one hand stands the manifest evil of terrorism and the random and arbitrary taking of innocent lives, rippling out in an ever-widening spiral of loss and fear. Governments, expressing the will of the governed, need the legal tools to meet this challenge. On the other hand stands the need to ensure that those legal tools do not undermine the values that are fundamental to our democratic society — liberty, the rule of law, and the principles of fundamental justice — values that lie at the heart of the Canadian constitutional order and

rorism were defeated at the cost of sacrificing our commitment to those values” (R v. Suresh, 2002). These sentiments are particularly important in the context of what has happened in Canada over the past week. We do not want to sacrifice the values of Canada or Canadian democracy in order to fight terrorism. We need to ensure that our reaction to these events, particularly as Parliament prepares to debate increased security powers, is a measured response rather than an emotional backlash based in fear, sorrow, or anger. For over a decade now, civil rights have been slowly eroded in many parts of the Western world in an effort to combat the threat of terrorism. Citizens in many countries are under increasing levels of state surveillance, ranging from the widespread use of CCTC cameras to the monitoring of personal correspondence. As a society, we need to strive to find a balance between empowering police and security agencies to do their jobs effectively and protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms that form the basis of our citizenship. However, this is not an easy balance to find and finding it will require inter-party dialogue and an ongoing effort from all Canadians.

I am writing this letter to bring your attention to the current situation of the Camrose and District Centennial Museum. I am a Grade 9 student at Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School. I volunteer at the Centennial Museum and have been doing it for two years. My experiences in the past two years have taught me so much about the history and the lives of the people of Camrose and area.

Recently, it has come to my attention that, without additional funding, the Camrose and District Centennial Museum could close its doors. I am asking the City of Camrose and its citizens to help the Centennial Museum through financial support. It is my belief that we should support our local museum since it holds the key to unlocking our history. Kelsey Moch, Camrose

Camrose Golden Tones hitting the right notes By Laurel Nadon Camrose Booster

Following in her mother’s footsteps by joining the Camrose Golden Tones was a natural choice for Gwen Lyster, now the president of the group. She joined 10 years ago as an alto, which was also her mother’s vocal range. “My mother had a marvelous alto voice. I can’t compare with her, but I try,” Lyster said. “There was always music in our home. I’ve always loved to sing.” The 27-member group, with both men and women, is a four-part harmony choir with soprano, alto, tenor and bass singers. Members range in age from 65 to late 80s. The group typically has 10 performances at senior residences in Camrose leading up to Christmas and 10 or more performances in the spring. “It’s a great way to get together for seniors. We take on some pretty big stuff sometimes,” Lyster said. “This Christmas we’re taking on a Christmas can-

singer, but they all have one thing in common: they love to sing. The choir began in 1985 and one change since then is that the singers stay close to home for performances, whereas the

group used to travel as far as B.C. Emma Carl, who has been the choir’s director for about 15 years, said the main changes to the group over the years have been the singers themselves, though

some return for many years, as well as the way of purchasing music. She said that there are now increased copyright rules as well as more awareness of the rules. “We are very careful on anything that has copyright,” Carl said. She noted that while they have had other performances as challenging as this year’s cantata, her role will be simplified somewhat as all of the parts of the music are already put together. “I enjoy seeing the progress from practise to practise and finally coming to completion,” Carl said. “We really work out.” The group will lose its pianist at the end of this season as Buffy daSilva is moving, so the choir will be looking for a new pianist to begin next September. The Golden Tones practise every Monday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. in the choir room at Messiah Lutheran Church. All seniors with a love for singing are welcome to join.

Why choose laminate?

Laminate has come a long way. And you’ll be just as surprised by laminate that looks like tile or stone. As affordable as it is versatile, laminate l i t flooring goes anywhere in your home. Perfect for any room. Laminate is the perfect choice for those rooms in your home that get a lot of traffic, like entryways and family rooms. It’s also ideal in basements where concrete slabs lack the level surface needed for hardwood. And you’ll love how easily laminate floors clean up in kitchens. Simplify your life. Laminate surfaces make it easy to maintain a great-looking floor. Their tough exteriors resist stains and moisture, providing years of unbeatable protection against scuffs and scratches. 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.

How common is hearing loss?

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.

Shiels,

What is the best type of blind to reduce heat loss in the winter months?

Cellular shades are the most energy eefficient type of shade. The attractive honeycomb design creates pockets of air h tthat insulate windows from heat and cold tto lower energy bills year round. Cellular shades also offer great sound absorption to quiet rooms with hard flooring or vaulted ceilings. They come in a wide variety of colors and opacity levels for personalized privacy and light control. Fabrics come in widths up to 144” and can also be made in a convenient side opening design for wider windows or patio doors. They are a great choice for room dividers and closet doors as well. Cordless cellular shades also provide safety solutions for homes with children or pets. The popular top down bottom up or “café style”option allows cellular shades to provide exterior view and natural light while still maintaining privacy. They can also be made in specialty shapes like arches, octagons, hexagons and triangle shaped windows. Loss of heat through skylights can be tremendous in the winter, and cellular shades will be insulating while still allowing natural light to come in. A perfect finishing touch for your cell shade is an elegant cornice. They come in a variety of wood finishes or upholstery fabrics to complement any decor. At Wideman Paint & Décor, we’ll be happy to walk you through the process of finding the right blinds for you. Drop in and see us today!

How are travel trends changing from a decade ago?

While people from our trading area ddefinitely want a sunny destination bbreak during the peak travel season, we are noticing our local tourists are w more exciting plans once they reach their interested in m chosen hot weather resorts. While travel to Cuba, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Mexico and Caribbean hotspots used to be all about R & R on the beach, the trend has swung more to experiencing culture, history, local food and entertainment. We work with travel partners world-wide so we can find the perfect fit for our clients. If you want a private guide to take you on a tour of Mayan Ruins that is personalized for you, we can arrange that. We routinely book clients to travel back in time by taking the Historic Tour of Havana where you can visit the Café where Hemmingway sat to write every day. For clients who crave adventure, zip lining through the rain forest in Costa Rica or riding a bobsled in Jamaica may be more your speed. If you always thought surfing looks like fun, think about doing a private lesson on the North Shore. Even at an all-inclusive resort, we encourage you to ask the locals for a recommendation to get out and enjoy some local cuisine and culture. Combining relaxation with adventure can create a once-in-alifetime experience. So much to see . . . so little time! See us today! Answer provided by:

What types of Commercial printing does the Booster produce?

The quick answer is this: if your jjob involves ink on any type or weight oof paper we can probably produce it ffor you. We have been in the printing bbusiness for decades. While years ago many of our printing jobs were relatively simple products – the likes of business cards, letterheads and envelopes, today we are also expert at much more complex work. Almost every day we produce a wide array of printed matter for use in the oilfield. Multi-part: Driver’s Daily Logs, Hazard Identification forms, Trip Inspection forms are common jobs for our skilled printing division staff. Weekly, we perfect cheques, laden with security features, once supplied exclusively by an eastern-based company for banks. We design and sell thousands of labels, monthly. Same for specialized forms used in the medical field. Naturally, we still print all types of office forms and the type of jobs which gave us a start half a century ago.

What would you recommend as a once-ina-lifetime kind of trip?

Actually, we could recommend a wide variety of unique travel options, but we invite you to consider a luxury cruise. When the word cruise comes to mind, you will probably think of a ship the size of a football field, with 5000 or more passengers, great food and tons of entertainment. While this type of cruise is always popular for Camrosians who wish to escape winter, consider this option: a luxury cruise ship with no more than 225 deluxe suites heading to some of the world’s most desirable tourist ocean-side locations. We have gone to great lengths to become affiliated with small boutique-style cruise lines. Your trip will allow 5-star type of accommodations, intuitive, gracious service from the absolute best trained customer service personnel, gourmet dining experiences that rival the world’s best restaurants and a long, long list of travel bonuses at absolutely no extra charge. Imagine things like fresh-cut flowers in your room, complimentary shoe shines, turn-down treats, terry bathrobes and slippers, 24-hour room service, complimentary use of binoculars, free concierge service, and even English butlerstyle service. Or get this: no gratuity policy! Consider an unforgettable small-ship cruise – without the high price you would expect. Answer provided by:

Brazilian exchange student embraces new culture By Laurel Nadon Camrose Booster

After just over a month in Canada, Rotary exchange student Maciel Rudnick from Brazil had already taken an interest in a few things distinctly Canadian: Tim Hortons and the word “eh”. “I’m really enjoying Tim Hortons, I wish we had one in Brazil,” Rudnick laughed, after making a presentation at the Rotary Club’s meeting on Sept. 29. He said that he’s expecting to soon find the word “eh” creeping into his vocabulary with his new friends. Rudnick grew up in the city of Pien in southern Brazil, living above his family’s supermarket and hotel. He then moved to the city of Curitiba when he was 15 to attend school along with his older sister. He’s familiar with youth exchanges as his father is a Rotarian and his sister went on exchange to Japan in 2011. He said that highlights of his time in Canada so far include attending the Saskatchewan Roughriders versus Edmonton Eskimos football game, school football games, meeting with other local Rotary exchange students, and visiting the West Edmonton Mall waterpark.

see snow, as it snows in Brazil about once in 20 years. “I’m really enjoying here, everyone is really friendly,” Rudnick said. “I thought it would be harder to make friends, but it’s not that hard.” During his slideshow presentation for local Rotary Club members, Rudnick pointed out a few differences between Brazil and Canada such as the life

expectancy in Brazil of 74.3 years versus 81.5 years in Canada. Brazil, claimed by Portugal in 1500, declared independence in 1822 and is now a Federal Republic with 26 states and one federal district. The main language is Portuguese and a few of the main agricultural foods are coffee, sugar cane, tobacco, corn, soybeans and cocoa. Rudnick shared with

the group that the main sports in Brazil are soccer and volleyball and that the country is known for its colourful and lively festivals such as Oktoberfest and Carnival. He said that his favourite past times are origami, dodgeball and architecture. Rudnick noted that out of the six B’s developed by the Rotary Club of Camrose, he’s focusing on Be Curious and Be First, making a conscious effort to try new things and experience everything he can. He also hopes to return to Canada once his exchange is over. Donna Phillips, chair of the Rotary Youth Exchange Committee, said that many exchange students have no accents and are fluent in English by the time they leave Canada. “It will be amazing what their English will be like once they go home,” Phillips said. “I find that they all get the travel bug and want to travel the world. It’s a lifechanging experience, they don’t look at life or the world the same.” She noted that exchange students return home much more independent and are also excellent public speakers as they are expected to speak at every Rotary Club meeting during their stay. Many develop friendships

with host families that last a lifetime, with repeat visits. Phillips said that it adds another dimension to classes to have a student from another country. “It exposes all of us to a different culture,” Phillips said. “Rotary’s purpose is to develop tolerance and appreciation of other cultures.” She said that returning students, especially those returning from a poorer country, notice the contrast in the standard of living. One returning student refused to spend hundreds of dollars on a graduation dress because that amount of money could buy a whole year of education in Venezuela. “They realize how fortunate they are to live in Canada when they return,” Phillips said. The Rotary Club of Camrose sponsors an outbound student every second year and will begin the search process again next September. Kyle Nickel is currently on exchange in the Netherlands and will return next July. Since the 1980s the Rotary Club of Camrose has hosted about 20 inbound students and sponsored 24 outbound students.

Canyon plays at Performing Arts Centre gala By Murray Green

Country music star George Canyon will be performing before a full house during the Camrose Performing Arts Centre grand opening gala on Nov. 1. “I love the opportunity to play at home in Alberta. Camrose is a great city with great folks,” said Canyon, about returning to the area. Canyon has played at the Big Valley Jamboree and smaller venues. “I have been in the music business for 24 years now professionally,” he said. “I welcome the chance to play for any and all crowds. I remember playing in pubs when there was nobody in the crowd, so I appreciate any audience.” It’s hard to believe Canyon, a man of faith, once abandoned his musical aspirations years ago to work as a bylaw officer in order to support his family. His wife, Jennifer, urged him to keep writing songs and performing; he felt that it was no longer practical and put music on the back burner. In 2004, Jennifer persuaded him to audition for USA Network’s Nashville Star – an internationally televised performance competition similar to the American Idol format. Canyon showed up and wowed the worldwide audiences. “I will be singing a variety of songs from all my records and my repertoire in Camrose,” said Canyon. “The new album includes singles from the last 10 years of my career since Nashville Star.”

George Canyon is at home in Alberta and enjoys coming to Camrose for concerts.

Canyon’s integrity and dedication to his family lives as a theme through the songs he writes and the stories he tells with his music and the way he lives his life. It is also the same force that drives him to inspire youth through his role as a national spokesperson for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 14, Canyon, a young air cadet, was informed that he would have to forgo his ambitions

and dreams to serve his country as a pilot in the Canadian Air Force. Years later he would learn to manage his disease through diet, lifestyle and the effective use of insulin pump technology. In 2009, Canyon passed a series of medical tests and as a result of this was able to obtain his pilot’s license. Later that year, Canyon took his personal story and his own plane across Canada and organized several talks and concerts to inspire youngsters afflicted with type 1 diabetes, with

his inspiring message, a project he named The Sky’s Not The Limit. He urged them to take ownership of their disease, pursue their dreams, and achieve their goals. “Being a kid is hard enough without having a disease that limits your choices. If I can tell my story and change a life or two, that’s the kind of imprint I want to leave,” Canyon said. The message has been effective, and his story continues to resonate. In the fall of 2010, he performed and spoke to

over 20,000 people at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles at a JDRF fundraising event. His 2010 hit single “I Believe in Angels” has been adopted as a theme song by the JDRF in the United States. He has won multiple Juno, East Coast Music Awards and Canadian Country Music Awards, including a Humanitarian of the Year Award for his philanthropic endeavors. His new album, Decade of Hits, was released in early September and included a cross Canada tour. The album is a look back on 10 years of Canyon hits – from Nashville Star to now – that made you smile, laugh and love, together with some exciting new songs including “Slow Dance” and “Crazy Love.” “The album is a celebration of the last 10 years of fan support and media support in my home country, Canada,” he said. “My wife and I, and our children, live on our ranch just west of High River and we are proud Canadians. Having the opportunity to share my success with the greatest fans in the world is an amazing feeling.” When Canyon is performing live on stage, he is most at home. He has the entire audience in the palm of his hand and you just can’t help but want to be a part of his unique family. Canyon is one of Canada’s favourite country music artists and one of the most successful entertainers in the country today.

CBC award-winning comedy program is hardly irrelevant By Murray Green

CBC’s award winning radio sketch comedy program, The Irrelevant Show will be on stage at the Bailey Theatre on Friday, Nov. 7. The performance will be taped in front of a live audience. Producer Peter Brown and regular actors Neil Grahn, Jana O’Connor, Mark Meer and Donovan Workun will be joined on stage by actor Cathy Derkach and musician Jan Randall. “The Irrelevant Show has been on and off the air for 10 years now. It started out as a couple of specials for CBC radio and then onto a mid-season replacement. We are now into our fifth full season on CBC radio,” explained actor Workun, who is an original member of the team. The shows airs every Saturday (beginning in January)and again on Thursdays for those who miss the first airing. “It is a sketch comedy show for families, so we do a lot of superheroes stuff and everything that is Canadianna with a hilarious twist,” said Workun.

Photo by Rob Swyrd CBC’s The Irrelevant Show actors Neil Grahn, left to right, Jana O’Connor, Mark Meer and Donovan Workun record lines for an upcoming radio segment.

This is the first trip to Camrose for the highly acclaimed show. CBC wants local input on which segments should be used in future radio shows. “The difference between hearing us on Saturdays for 26 minutes and seeing us live for close to two hours is the audience,” said Workun. “The audience helps it come alive with participation.” CBC needs the audience participation, through laughter response, to determine which of the sketches should be included in the new season of The Irrelevant Show.

“We tend to base our editing decisions on what sketches go over well on the night. Sometimes an audience likes a joke so much we just end the sketch right there,” he said. The live audience will see all of the sketches that may or may not make the radio show. “The live show offers a whole lot that the radio audience doesn’t get live sound effects and music, the banter between sketches, and seeing how all the elements come together live,” revealed Workun. “It is cool to listen to the show on the

radio, but to see it live is pretty exciting and quite unique.” The Camrose show will feature two 45-minute sessions of comedy. Each session will be turned into a 26 minute radio show to give Camrose two dates on the air for the rest of Canada to share in the new year. The full season will have 25 shows. “When we are in Camrose we will be able to tell the audience that the shows will air on whatever those dates will be, so they can hear the ones recorded in Camrose,” informed Workun. The actors like to add some local comedy. “When we do our shows we like to add some local humour into the show. We will come up with some jokes at the beginning, middle and at the end that highlight the fact that we are in Camrose performing,” said Workun. “Each audience is a little bit different. I’m from Edmonton and I find the Alberta audiences are similar. We like to get the audience involved and perhaps get them to sing for us and

respond as masses in some sketches. It becomes part of the show and it makes it fun.” Workun said they wanted to go to Camrose because they know the community is behind the arts with the Bailey and the performing arts centre. “The Bailey is a great venue and we are looking for a fresh audience to give us feedback. It gives us a boost to go to a different venue. The director, music director and sound man are on stage, so you get to see everything happening. It is a cool visual like a 30s radio play and we work with new material all of the time. At one point it would be cool to do a tour with the best sketches we have done.” We have a pair of tickets to the show to give away. If you’re interested, just email irrelevant@ cbc.c, and put “Camrose” in the subject line of your email. They’ll draw for a pair of tickets and contact the winner. Tickets for the exciting comedy show are available at the Bailey Box Office.

Primed on Prine performs songs of leading musician By Murray Green

Edmonton songwriters and music performers Al Brant, Terry Morrison and Kevin Cook will be presenting an evening of the songs of John Prine at the Bailey Theatre, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. The songwriters have joined forces with backup support from Mike Lent, Paul ‘Duke’ Paetz and Cam Neufeld. All six of these musicians are recognized recording artists in their own right. “The music and songwriting of John Prine continues to be an inspiration to many on the strength of his unparalleled ability to balance wit and wisdom with morality and human folly,” said Morrison. Primed on Prine will feature such numbers as “Blue Umbrella,” “Hello In There,” “Please Don’t Bury Me” and many others from the large catalogue of Prine compositions. “The Bailey Theatre in Camrose is an old theatre that has been completely refurbished. It is a beautiful venue and is actively promoting live shows and we are happy to perform there,” said Morrison. Prine is an American country/folk singer-songwriter. He has been active as a composer, recording artist, and live performer since the early 1970s.

He learned to play the guitar at the age of 14. Subsequently serving in West Germany with the U.S. armed forces, by the late 1960s he had moved to Chicago, where he worked as a postman, writing and singing songs as a hobby. Becom-

ing a part of the city’s folk revival, he was discovered by Kris Kristofferson, resulting in the production of Prine’s self-titled debut album in 1971. After receiving critical acclaim, Prine focused on his musical career. After struggling with

squamous cell cancer in 1998, Prine’s vocals deepened into a gravel-voice, resulting in the awardwinning album Fair and Square (2005). He is cited as one of the most influential songwriters of his generation. He is

Grains for the Hungry has successful harvest By Dan Jensen Fourteen combines and approximately 20 volunteers made quick work of a 150 acre Kingman Grains for the Hungry canola field Oct. 15. “We’re thrilled with the great turnout,” said Kingman Grains for the Hungry project coordinator Guy Anderson. “To have this many people here donating their time and labour is pretty amazing.” The Kingman Grains for the Hungry project was undertaken by the 20-member K ingman Marketing Group as a way of raising money for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Camrose and area agribusinesses donated the crop inputs seed, fertilizer and insurance, while volunteers supplied the manual labour that totalled between 300 and 400 hours. “We were blessed with a good crop so it should be interesting to see what our final fundraising total will be,” said Anderson. “The crop prices are down from what they were last year when we raised $96,000 (for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank) but we are still hoping that we will be within 75 per cent of that number when it comes time to sell (the grain).” The decision on when to put the combines to work was made within a couple of days. “We set this thing up two nights ago with the idea of starting at noon on Oct. 15,” said Anderson, “but it looked like it was going to rain so we called everybody and said we wanted to start at 10 a.m. instead.” The use of the land was donated by Don Boettger and his family. “ T he Ca nad ia n Foodgrains Bank was something that my dad was very interested in years ago so when the opportunity came up to honour his memory I felt that it was only f itting that we go ahead and donate the land for this year,” said Boettger. “It is a small contribution to make to help someone else.” The funds Canadian Foodgrains Bank receives from projects like Kingman Marketing Group’s Grains for the Hungry are matched four to one by the federal government. Canadian Foodgrains Bank is the only organization in the country that receives four to one

Fourteen combines were used to harvest 150 acres of canola on a Boettger field Oct. 15.

Kevin and Ken Boettger, Wally Janzen and Isaac Boettger (sitting on the steps) pose for a photo before combining the 150 acres of canola. The proceeds from the harvest will be donated to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, which has provided more than 1.1 million tonnes of food and seeds worth over $682 million to people in 78 countries.

funding,” said Anderson, noting that a $100,000 donation could eventually wind up being $400,000.

“A lot of organizations receive one to one funding but the Canadian Foodgrains Bank is the

only one that receives four to one.” K ingman Grains for the Hungry was one

of 32 harvest fundraising projects undertaken in Alberta in 2013, and one of 200 across Canada. The total amount of grain donated by Canadian farmers benefitted 2.1 million people in 37 countries. “One of the things we all agree on is that people should not go hungry,” Canadian Foodgrains Bank regional coordinator Terrance Barg. “This project is a chance for us to be part of something bigger. We have so much in our area that sometimes we forget our blessings.” T he Ca n ad ia n Foodgrains Bank has provided more than 1.1 million tonnes of foods and seeds worth over $682 million to millions of people in 78 countries since its inception in 1983, and is now one of Canada’s leading food assistance organizations. “The story of the Foodgrains Bank is the story of how people across Canada grasped the Bible’s call for those of us who have more than we need to share with those who don’t have enough,” said Canadian Foodgrains Bank executive director Jim Cornelius. “It’s a call that has taken root and grown over the past 30 years, enabling the Foodgrains Bank and its member agencies to respond to the needs of people around the world who don’t have enough to eat.” The Kingman Marketing Group will be celebrating the Grains for the Hungry project harvest with a banquet at the Kingman Hall Nov. 15. Doors to the hall open will open at 5:30 p.m., with the banquet starting at 6 p.m.

Kodiaks drain Oil Barons in match of two rivals By Murray Green

Winning Alberta Junior Hockey League games in Fort McMurray is a tough task, but the fired up Camrose Kodiaks pulled out a 2-1 victory, Oct. 17. “They are a very good north division team and they always have been. The Kodiaks and Fort McMurray have a lot of history together with playoff series, so it felt good to beat them in their own barn,” said Kodiaks leading scorer Nelson Gadoury, who has seven goals in 10 games. Braeden Salverda netted the first tally in the opening period and he assisted on defenceman Dallas Bergstrom’s first marker of the season in the third to provide the offence in the close checking contest. “It was a tight game, back and forth for awhile. We stuck to our fore checking and didn’t give them too much,” said Gadoury. Goalie Devin McDonald stopped 21 of the 22 shots sent in his direction. Camrose fired 36 at the Oil Barons’ net. “Devin has been unbelievable for us all year,” said Gadoury. “It’s crazy he hasn’t been getting more looks from schools because I think he is the top goalie in the league. We need to play the full 60 minutes.” What a difference seven seconds can make. The Kodiaks notched two goals in the short time frame

during the first period that set the tone of the game in Bonnyville. Jody Sick and Scott Ferguson accomplished the feat. Ryker Leer and Salverda helped on the first power play marker. Then Landon Pilger won a draw to Mark Nerland who sent the puck on to Ferguson. Camrose just missed the record fastest two goals by two seconds. McDonald came up even bigger the next night as the Kodiaks shut out the Bonnyville Pontiacs 3-0 on Oct. 18. He turned away all 32 shots he faced, while the Kodiaks only had seven shots in the last two periods for a total of 19. “The shutouts are nice, but our goal is to come out every night and be our best,” said Gadoury. “We had two bad games in where we let the other team come back. We have that extra confidence knowing if we work hard we can get the win on any given night. We have to work hard to avoid other teams trying to come back on us.” Gadoury netted a hat trick in the first game of the season. “I was pretty lucky to get off to a fast start. Two rookies, Cole McBride and Danton Davis, are really good players and they make my job a lot easier,” said the veteran. “It’s up to coach, but hopefully we can stay together.” Camrose hits the road

for two games on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 with the Canmore Eagles. The next home game for the Kodiaks is on Nov. 7 when the Sherwood Park Crusaders provide the opposition. Then, on Nov. 9, the Kodiaks entertain the Eagles in a rematch. Bear facts

Camrose reached the top five in the national

rankings last week. The two wins moved them up a notch from number six. All top five teams represent a different league and appear to be hungry for a Royal Bank Cup appearance. Spruce Grove is in the number 12 spot, but have lost twice to the Kodiaks while playing two more games.

On Nov. 8, the Kodiaks will be at the Camrose Pizza 73 location helping raising money for the Children’s Miracle Network. The players will be helping make pepperoni smile pizzas throughout the day and signing autographs. Pizza 73 will also be giving away hockey game tickets.

Pickleball drawing interest from wide age group By Laurel Nadon Camrose Booster The name of the game may be slightly unusual, but the game itself is straight forward and quickly attracting a diverse age group. The local Pickleball Club has seen its age group greatly expand in the past year as well as an increase in membership to 40 members. President Dean Edwards noted that the club began as a group for seniors four years ago. “It’s now morphed in the past year,” Edwards said. “We’ve got 11-year-olds up to 76-year-olds playing.” He described pickleball as table tennis on a badminton court. Players use a wooden paddle and wiffle ball with rules similar to tennis. With no overhand serves allowed, small courts which mean less running, a slower wiffle ball versus a tennis ball and a low net, the game is open for a wide variety of ages and skill levels. In fact, Edwards has been legally blind since 1995 due to retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited and degenera-

tive eye disease, but that doesn’t prevent him from competing in the sport. “Other people with slight handicaps can play as well,” Edwards said. “The idea of the game is to make it totally inclusive. You have

more time to react so you can have longer rallies. It offers fitness to a wider variety of people than we’ve had before. It’s such a social event.” Edwards said that while good hand-eye coordination

and some background playing squash, badminton, racquetball or tennis may be helpful, most new players are surprised by how fast they learn the game. “You can be quite competitive in two games.” He noted that pickleball was started in the southern States and “the snowbirds brought it home. It’s the weirdest sport name there is, you don’t need pickles.” While players wait in the sidelines for a turn on the court, there are often jokes about the name of the game and various suggestions for how it came about. The game was invented during the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island, Washington, at the home of then State Representative Joel Pritchard. The plastic perforated ball used for the game was a ball enjoyed by Pickles, the family’s cocker spaniel. Whenever the ball went out of bounds, Pickles jumped up to reclaim his toy, running off with the ball. “Whenever you tell people you play pickleball, they say, ‘What’s pickleball?’” chuckled Dwight Brown,

who has played for less than a year. He said he enjoys that new players are able to pick up the sport quickly and be competitive with long-time players. Lou Richard, who has been playing for two years, says the sport is quite enjoyable. “It’s a game that gives you a good workout, but even if you have bad knees or ankles, you can still play.” The Camrose club has had members compete in tournaments in Cochrane, Spruce Grove and Blackfalds, and will host its own tournament next spring. The club meets at the Community Centre fieldhouse on Monday and Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon and every second Saturday from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m., as well as at the Mirror Lake Centre on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The cost is a $20 annual membership fee as well as small daily fees for the centres. To learn more, drop in during game times or contact Dean Edwards at 780-678-2643.

In the first game, Alex Rogers and Jeff Lorenz each garnered two goals, while Connor McLaughlin, Eric Macoretta, Corey Kosloski and Devon Hobbs collected the single tallies for the Vikings. Goalie Andy Williams stopped 14 of 15 shots for the win. In the rematch, Rogers collected a hat trick to lead the offence. Logan Sproule, Kosloski and Dane Bonish added single markers.

He represented the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference and the Vikings at Cegap Champlain St. Lawrence in Quebec City at the Club de Golf Lorette on Oct. 14 to 17. He placed 61st in a field of about 80 golfers. The third round was cancelled due to inclement weather and unplayable course conditions. Volleyball

They beat Grande Prairie 21-25, 18-25, 25-20, 25-21 and 15-10 on Oct. 17 in a great comeback. The Vikings started stronger the next day and won 25-22, 22-25, 25-12, 14-25 and 15-10 to earn the sweep. On the men’s side, the Vikings won 3-1 (25-27, 25-21, 25-16 and 25-15) on Friday and 3-2 on Saturday (25-21, 20-25, 25-22, 20-25 and 15-10) to earn points.

Dodge Journey The ultimate combination of form and function

Tony Smith

By Dan Jensen

The 2015 Dodge Journey at Camrose Chrysler is the ultimate combination of form and function. “It’s one of the most impressive vehicles to come out in quite some time,” said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Noel Skoglund. “It is designed with an amazing degree of versatility and is bursting with technology, comfort and upscale details.” All wheel drive Journey All Wheel Drive not only grabs your attention it grabs the road as well. The system makes easy work of wet, snowy or ice-laden roads. When the system senses slippage, it immediately responds with a transfer of power to the rear wheels for a very noticeable uptick in driving performance. Best-in-class storage Two class-exclusive second-row in-floor storage bins with removable, washable liners each hold up to a dozen 355 ml cans plus ice. Latching lids also make these bins the perfect place for stowing valuable travel items. The seat cushion of the available Flip ‘n Stow fold-flat front passenger

seat flips forward to reveal a bin ideal for concealing personal items. The front door map pockets, centre console and glove box provide even more room to safely store the things you just can’t leave home without. The standard 60/40 split-folding and reclining second-row seating offers spacious, flexible comfort. Carrying younger passengers is a breeze with the available class-exclusive integrated child booster seats, and they are also easily entertained with the available rear-seat video system. Your passengers will have easy access to their available 50/50 splitfolding third-row seats thanks to rear doors that open 90 degrees, and the Tilt ‘n Slide second-row seats. Every surface and touchpoint features superior craftsmanship, comfort and style with premium soft-touch materials and a rich, flowing instrument panel. Steering wheelmounted cruise and audio controls, illuminated cup holders, and pinpoint LED lights, as well as available heated front seats and

steering wheel give the cabin a sophisticated feel. The intuitive and customizable Uconnect multimedia centre includes a touchscreen display with either a 4.3-inch or largestin-class 8.4-inch configuration. Easy-to-navigate icons let you control the radio and personal devices such as an iPod or smartphone, as well as available features like SiriusXM satellite radio, navigation and hands-free communication. Bring along your own tunes via remote SD card slot, remote USB port with mobile device control, or Bluetooth streaming audio. The USB port also acts as a charger for your compatible devices. Comfort controls can be accessed through either the touchscreen or the centre stack. Engine choices With 283 horsepower, 260 lb.-ft. of torque and some of the most advanced automotive technology, the available award-winning 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing serves up an exceptional blend of high torque, impressive fuel economy (as good as 9.4 litres per 100 km highway), and low emissions.

The 2.4 litre engine features a strong balance of fuel economy (as good as 9.1 litres per 100 km highway), and power (171 horsepower). Escape the everyday Journey Crossroad is outfitted with platinum chrome-accented side rails, lower bodyside mouldings and front and rear fascias. Gloss Black fog lamp surrounds, a Gloss Black g rille, black-accented headlamps and unique 19 -inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels complete its exterior image.

SiriusXM satellite radio for a more teched-out feel. Safety and security The 2015 Dodge Journey offers over 50 safety, security and technology features to help ensure you are well protected. Electronic Stability Control helps the driver maintain vehicle directional stability and limits oversteer or understeer. ESC includes All-Speed Traction Control, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation and Trailer Sway Control. Park-Sense Rear Park Assist detects the presence of objects within 1.9 metres of the vehicle in the backup pathway and provide an audible and visual warning to notify the driver. Enhanced Accident Response makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on interior lighting, flashing hazard lamps and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. It also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine. You can see the 2015 Dodge Journey at Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 east, Camrose.

T he 2 013 T ra ff ic Collision Statistics show the overall fatality rate continues on a downward trend. While the numbers f luctuate from year-toyear, traff ic fatalities have declined by 22 per cent since Alberta’s f irst Traff ic Safety Plan was introduced in 2007. The number of fatalities has dropped from 458 fatalities in 2007 to 358 in 2013. There were a total of 141,638 collisions and 18,650 injuries on the roads last year – which is an increase of more than 5,000 collisions compa red to 2012. In the past year the number of drivers has increased by 80,306 and the number of vehicles is up by 128,195. Traff ic volumes on our prov i nc ia l h ighways have also jumped by 3.42 per cent. “ We recog nize the challenges more drivers and vehicles present on our roads as our province continues to grow,” said Wayne Drysdale, Minister of Transportation, “but these numbers are further proof that all of us – and that means every Albertan – must take personal responsibility to ensure that others get home safely at the end of the day.” Approx imately 86 per cent of Albertans rate their own driving skills as good or excellent but the statistics show almost 87 per cent of collisions were the result of driver error. “We encourage drivers to enjoy all Alberta has to offer,” said Jonathan Denis, Q.C., M in ister of Justice and Solicitor General. “While out and about across the province, we ask all drivers to put safety f irst and be focused behind the wheel.” Since 2007, the Government of Alberta has worked with its traff ic safety partners to implement the Traff ic Safety Plan.

Vikings grab college men’s soccer playoff spot By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings men’s soccer team pulled out a 2-1 victory over the Grande Prairie Wolves on Oct. 19 to claim the last playoff spot in the north division. Although it was the first year for Augustana to have a team, the players were prepared for the season. “We all came together last September. You could tell then that we had chemistry and talented guys on the team. We played Lakeland and tied them 1-1 and that gave us a lot of confidence and a good feel going into the season,” said Mark Wrubleski

of the Vikings. “This year we fared well in preseason tournaments, so we knew that there was a strong possibility of us making the playoffs.” Taking an expansion team into the playoffs in a tough league such as the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference is quite a feat. “First year teams to make playoffs is unseen. Some teams have had their teams for three or four years and still haven’t made playoffs yet. We were definitely the big underdog going into the season and roll over us because everyone thought of us and a first year team,” said

Wrubleski. “We proved them wrong.” The Vikings were built as a team from top to bottom. “We don’t have a lot of superstars, so we have to work hard as a team to find success,” said Wrubleski. “We have guys that put the team first, throw themselves at tackles and do anything to help the team. That has been the ultimate success factor for us.” Wrubleski spent his minor soccer years in Camrose and he was excited to join the college ranks. “It is the coolest thing,” he said. “I thought when I

was finished U18 that soccer was done, or I would play in the men’s league. To play at the college level, let alone your home town team, is amazing. I bring leadership and a positive attitude to the team. I like to bring smiles to everyone on the team, sing songs during warm-up and stuff like that.” The fourth year student also plays some solid defence for the Vikings. Augustana has stayed competitive with very strong teams because of the work when they don’t have the ball. “When you play well defensively, it gives you more

of a chance to win,” said Wrubleski. “Going into the playoffs, we want to play our game.” Wrubleski and three of his teammates are coming back next year for a semester to play another year on the Vikings. That means Augustana will only lose one player for next season. “We want to be even better next year. By only losing one player, we will have a lot of experience,” said Wrubleski. “This year, only two players had college level experience, so everything is new. We will know what to expect next season.”

Businesses need to develop a sense of culture, says speaker By Dan Jensen

Business owners should look beyond their product and develop a sense of culture if they want to be successful said Alberta Business Coach co-founder John Dickson. “Something that big and medium-sized companies are spending a lot of money on, and small companies almost nothing, is in developing their people and developing their culture,” said Dickson, who has a PhD in management, at the noon luncheon of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Oct. 1. “The culture of an organization that says this is why we do things around here and why we arrive 10 minutes early is extremely valuable.” Dickson said today’s employers need to recognize that their employees cannot be treated in the same way they were 20 or 30 years ago when, if they failed at doing their job, there was always someone to step up and replace them. “You need to get your employees excited about what you are doing,” he said. “If you don’t have great people who are excited or engaged, how are you gong to implement that really good program? How are you going to hang onto that younger generation that just seems to keep moving along if you don’t have them engaged at some level?” Dickson explained that just like in a multi-generational family, employees have different tastes and different ways of doing things. “We have to come to agreement at home on which television station we are going to watch, or what music we are

Alberta Business Coach co-founder John Dickson.

going to listen to, but in the workplace we think it is all going to work out just fine. If there is a problem that occurs in the workplace we have to all sit down and solve it as a team rather than trying to figure out who in the business is to blame.” Dickson said Apple and Starbucks are two multinational organizations that have shown what can be done when a business pays attention to the culture it wants to develop. “Apple wants to change the way we look at the world, change the status quo, and it is doing that by selling computers and technology. Starbucks brands itself as not a coffee company selling coffee but a people company selling coffee.” Dickson said that what often stands in the way of a businesses making improvements is conflict and communication. “It is important to

expand your communication bandwith. We had one client (three partners) who were really upset with each other, not because there was any ill will, but because one of them believed that the only way to solve a problem was to get everyone to agree with him. The other two partners didn’t want to disagree with him, so they would always walk away from any conversations. The solution was to make all three of them understand that they needed to give each other space and accept the ideas of others as being worthwhile.” Dickson also told the story about a software company where the people in the front end who were marketing the product were extroverts and the people in the back end were introverts. “The people in the front end were irritating the hell out of the people in the back end, so all the incentive programs the business was doing to be a better place to work were counter productive. As a result of a team building exercise they did with us they were able to cut turnover in the back part from 20 per cent to little over 10 per cent in less than a year.” Dickson’s suggestion to businesses who want to initiate change is just to start somewhere. “You don’t have to do anything ambitious you just have to start,” he said. “You can’t solve everything you attack, but if you don’t even try you are not going to be having a chance to solve hardly anything at all.”

Some solid advice on how to manage your cash flow Cash is king – it’s a common saying in the business world. But surprisingly few entrepreneurs take steps to manage their cash flow so they don’t wind up with an empty bank account and nothing to pay the bills. “One of the main causes of business failure is poor cash flow management,” says Susan Rohac, senior vice president, financing and consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “Getting control over your cash flow helps you prepare for slow periods, plan your financing and have peace of mind.” Follow these five steps to get a better handle on your cash flow. 1. Profitability check First, make sure your business is earning a reasonable profit. Even the greatest cash flow management won’t help if your fundamentals are out of whack. Build a sustainable busi-

ness with smart cash flow management principles. Analyze each product and service separately to see whether it’s pulling its weight. Make sure your products are appropriately priced and work to eliminate inefficiencies. Instead of just chasing sales, chase profitable sales. In 2007, Mike Whittaker’s company Bonté Foods learned the consequences of poor cash flow the hard way after facing large cost overruns on two major projects. The company had to act quickly to restore its cash position. It analyzed its profitability and realized it had to raise prices to better reflect costs. Bonté also unloaded lower-margin product lines and launched an efficiency drive while tightening cash flow management. The changes had a huge impact. Sales in Bonté’s meat division are up 36 per cent since 2009, while gross profit is up almost six per cent.

“We learned to watch our cash very carefully,” Whittaker says. “You need to always be ahead of the curve on cash flow management.” 2. Do a cash flow projection Next, prepare a cash flow projection for the coming year. This is your early warning system for cash flow hiccups. Use a spreadsheet or accounting software to plug in expected monthly cash inflows and outflows, including anticipated bigticket purchases. Use the projection to anticipate slow periods and plan in advance what to do about them. “Through the year, check your actual cash position regularly – once a week or month – against your projection to see how you’re doing and deal promptly with any divergences,” advises Rohac. 3. Finance big buys instead of draining cash One of the most common cash flow mistakes is

using cash to buy a major long-term asset, instead of getting financing. Even if you feel flush right now, you may suddenly wind up short of cash if you experience a sudden revenue shortfall or rapid growth. Use your cash flow projection to plan your financing needs ahead of time, not in the midst of a crisis, when bankers may be wary to lend. Rohac also recommends matching the lifespan of a purchase with financing of similar duration. 4. Speed up cash inflows Getting money into your business more quickly can save you carrying costs on your line of credit. Some tips: send out invoices more quickly, ask customers to pay electronically, and charge interest to slow-payers. 5. Raise cash quickly in a crunch Facing an unexpected cash flow crunch? You can raise cash quickly using various techniques: approach your bank for help; check

your inventory and assets to see what you can sell off, even at a discount; ask suppliers or your landlord for extra time to pay bills; or offer your customers a big discount to earn some quick sales. Many businesses ignore cash flow management: survey BDC’s Susan Rohac points out that managing finances is one of the main challenges for entrepreneurs, coming in second after marketing and sales. The findings of a BDC survey this year confirm her observation: More than four out of five entrepreneurs (82 per cent) say they’re the ones managing cash flow and financing in the company. However, many of the entrepreneurs don’t take basic steps to control their finances. Almost half say they don’t make cash flow projections and check them against actual results – a basic procedure of financial management.

Grief workshop By Colleen Lindholm, Camrose Primary Care Network

We all face loss, eventually. And often we – along with our friends, coworker and family members are not sure what supports are available. The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) is offering another one day Bereavement and Grief workshop on Saturday, Nov. 15, which will explain the differences between bereavement, grief and mourning. This workshop is for people who are coping with grief and loss, as well as for people interested in becoming ‘grief helpers’ – co-workers, family members or even physicians and health care professionals supporting people going through a loss. Participants will learn: the difference between bereavement, grief and mourning; stages of grief; common symptoms of grief; coping with grief; and how to access appropriate community resources. “No one is exempt from the heartache of losing a loved on…so let’s learn together how we can help each other,” said facilitator and registered nurse with a certificate in grief support, Colette Howery. “No matter what, we will all face loss of many kinds. Working through the journey together helps us to reconcile our grief and although life is never exactly as it was, there is hope,” said certified grief trainer Donna Lynn Erickson, who also facilitates the workshop. “PCN physicians and staff are really pleased with the success of the grief and bereavement workshops which have been offered for over two years now. They recognize there is an opportunity in the community to continue this program for individuals facing loss in their lives,” said Stacey Strilchuk, Camrose PCN executive director. “We are fortunate to have Colette and Donna Lynne to partner with for this workshop, and are so pleased to be able to collaborate with them in a way that is meaningful and relevant to people facing bereavement and grief.” This free workshop, being held at the Camrose Recreation Center, Community Room #3, will run from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and includes lunch. To receive more information, or to register, contact the Camrose PCN at 780-608-4927.

Minster Olson applauds WTO ruling The Alberta government is calling on the United States to put an end to its discriminatory Country of Origin Labelling (COOL) requirements on beef and pork imports, following a decision by the World Trade Organization (WTO). “Time and time again the WTO has clearly supported Alberta and Canada’s position that the U.S. government is failing to meet its trade obligations because of the excessive

labelling, tracking and segregation requirements placed on Canadian beef and pork imports,” said Premier Jim Prentice. “It’s time for the American government to do what is right and put an end to this blatantly discriminatory trade barrier.” “Alberta stands united with our cattle and hog industries in our opposition to COOL, which is imposing more than a billion dollars annually in unnecessary

costs and harms businesses, workers and farmers on both sides of the border,” said Verlyn Olson, Minister, Agriculture and Rural Development. “We fully support the Canadian government’s ongoing actions to bring an end to COOL and that includes implementing retaliatory trade measures on U.S. products if necessary.” COOL requires that meat derived from animals born, reared or slaughtered

outside the U.S. must be labelled to indicate the country or countries involved. In November 2011, the WTO ruled that COOL is a violation of trade rules. The WTO decision was upheld in June 2012, following a U.S. appeal. On October 20, 2014, a WTO compliance panel released its report that revised COOL measures continue to be inconsistent with the U.S. government’s trade obligations.

Collision with cyclist Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Our Lady of Mount Pleasant competitive in many sports Mail theft Sometime between 4 p.m. on Oct. 12 and 1 p.m. on Oct. 13, numerous individual mailboxes at McNary Estates were broken into. The suspect(s) left some items at the scene that are currently being examined for any evidence that may lead to the identity of the suspect(s). Theft from rural mailboxes is a serious crime that has unfortunately affected many residents of Camrose County. Mail is being stolen with the intention of gathering individuals' personal information. Once in possession of enough personal information the suspects will try and assume the identities of the victims and commit a wide range of fraud related activities. Camrose RCMP would like to remind everyone to assess the durability of the lock they are using. The best lock to prevent theft of your mail is a guarded or shrouded shackle padlock where the guard or shackle is made of boron or stainless steel. Also, frequent checks of your mail will help minimize the amount of mail obtained if you happen to be victimized by this crime. To date, the investigation has not revealed the identity of the persons responsible for this crime and police are asking your assistance through Crime Stoppers. If you have any information on this crime or any other crime, please call the Camrose Police Service at 780-672-4444. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). Information can also be submitted online at www. tipsubmit.com. You may also send your tip via text message. Simply send your message to CRIMES (274637). Start your text with TIP205 so it will be sent to the proper authorities. This will be sent anonymously to Crime Stoppers and you will receive a confirmation reply. You do not have to reveal your identity. Use your phone or computer! Help solve a crime! Be a Crime Stopper!

What would you do if your child went missing? By Dan Jensen

What is the best way to protect your children from possible abduction? The Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for Missing Children goes a long way towards answering that question in Child Identification Kits that have been sponsored by the Camrose Women and are being handed out by the Camrose Police Service. “The kits are available at the Camrose Police Service building and we will be distributing them until they are gone,” explained Camrose Police Service crime prevention officer Const. Matthew Wilton. The kits come with a pamphlet in which parents can record information about their children, including the school they attend, their heights, weights, and blood types, as well as identifying characteristics like fingerprints, all of which can

be shared with police in the event they go missing. “They’re not kept by the police, nor do the police require a copy of the fingerprints,” said Const. Wilton,” adding there is a supplied ink pad. “I think that used to be the case under the old system but a lot of people didn’t feel comfortable with that, which I completely understand.” The kits also include a pull-out section with information for parents on common lures that are used by child abductors, whether they be job offers, requests for assistance, posing as an authority figure, games and fun, or modelling photo and beauty contests. “Parents can read up on the different lures and how child abductions happen and then use that information to talk to their children,” said Const. Wilton. The pull out notes that no matter how many times a child has been warned

against talking to strangers, they will in their normal day-to-day activities regularly talk to strangers, and that many abductors will use some form of attention to gain the child’s confidence. It also notes that rather than teaching their children to simply stay away from strangers, it is more appropriate that parents teach their children proper ways to respond in certain situations. “They don’t do the stay away from strangers message because studies have shown that molesters are able to work around that,” said Const. Wilton. “These criminals find a way to seem friendly, to seem like they are not a stranger. They might even come up to the child and pretend that they know the child’s parents.” In some cases, the abduction is made by people with whom the child is familiar. “You have to teach the children to be vigilant, whether they know the

person or not,” said Const. Wilton. “If somebody, even a family member is paying particular attention to them, if they want to get them away from everybody else, that is when you need to be worried. They (abductors) may be impersonating a police officer or someone else who is in an occupation that the child trusts. Anyone just trying to get the child away is who you need to be careful with.” The pull out states that children should be taught that adults do not normally ask children for assistance – they ask other adults. “If they are asked, children will normally be eager to assist an adult carrying some groceries to the car or into a home. They will also be eager to help the teacher with a school project and rightfully so, but there is a difference between the class working on a school project or one child being singled out to assist. The intent of the

lure is to get the child away from his or her friends or from a public place where the assault can take place. No matter who does the asking, even if it is dad’s friend “Uncle Bill” or the school principal, the key is to remember that they should be cautious of situations in which the adult has arranged to be alone with them.” The Camrose Women of the Moose (WOTM) recognize that the kits are invaluable and a wonderful tool to teach and aid parents on how to approach the subject of abduction with their children. “Knowledge and education are power,” said WOTM representative Brittany Faulkner in a letter to Const. Wilton, “and it is our mission to see to it that children are given this knowledge and education so they stand a fighting chance should they find themselves in a dangerous situation in which they need to respond.”

(MS) - Applying and interviewing for employment are not actions to take lightly. There may be many people applying for the same position you’re seeking, which means it is even more important to put your best foot forward in the jobseeking process. There are certain pitfalls job seekers make repeatedly that can ruin their chances for landing the position they desire. Here are those common mistakes: 1. Beginning a job search before you know what it is you really want to do. You may be so eager to find a job, that you apply for any and all positions. While this may be a quick fix, you probably will land back in the job market relatively quickly once you find the job is just not the right fit. 2. Having a bad attitude can sabotage your efforts. Don’t allow poor experiences from your prior job to infiltrate this current jobseeking process. The trouble is, you may not realize just how negative a vibe you’re giving off, but others could zero in on it immediately. 3. Failing to act. Many people think the dream job will land in their laps. If you continue to wait for something to come along it’s likely nothing will happen. You have to make the effort to see results. The same can be said if you think that someone else will get you a job. Even if you’re using a recruiting service or networking through others, it is ultimately up to you to secure the job. 4. Aiming too high or too low in your job search. You have to accurately gauge where you land in the “marketability zone.” Many applicants fail to apply for jobs that pay less or accept positions that are beneath them simply because they do not know where they rank in the job market. Ask others where they think you’re competitive, such as college professors, experts in the field, and especially those in jobs similar to the ones you want. 5. Desperation. The idea is to have many options occurring simultaneously so that you don’t feel like you have your entire future riding on one interview. Desperation may be as noticeable as negativity, so you don’t want others to ever see you sweat. Similarly, its important to take rejection well; it’s not a personal attack. If you have other options open, it shouldn’t matter that much anyway. After you’ve landed your job, always keep in touch with your networking contacts, keeping them apprised of your success and news. These people will remain important contacts for the next time you find yourself looking for a job.

Report on the Legislature Verlyn Olson, MLA, Wetaskiwin-Camrose Government taking action to relieve pressure on emergency rooms and to boost seniors’ care spaces across Alberta

In Alberta, we have a growing population and an increasing demand for health care services, including acute and emergency care, as well as continuing and long-term care. Albertans want to know that they will have timely access to acute care services and that our seniors are taken care of. These issues probably generate more calls to the constituency office than any other. This month, we announced the launch of the Continuing Care Capacity Plan, which will help to address issues of access. In the first phase of the 2014 Continuing Care Capacity Plan, Alberta Health Services will open 464 continuing

care spaces, which are currently unfunded or unstaffed, over the next 12 months through the reallocation of existing resources. In the second phase, government will look to assist the remaining patients waiting in acute care through $60 million in targeted Affordable Supportive Living Initiative (ASLI) funds. Further actions include the dedication of 20 per cent of newly freed up acute care spaces for exclusive emergency department use, a home care capacity review, the exploration alternative health care delivery models in continuing care settings, and further ASLI investments by the Minister of Seniors. We also announced that a total of 1,500 continuing care spaces will be constructed in both rural and urban communities to ensure Alberta seniors have accommodation options that fit their needs.

Supportive living units will be funded under ASLI and created in collaboration between government and community partners. Grants are available to municipalities, not-for-profit organizations, Metis settlements, housing management bodies, local housing authorities, community groups and private sector organizations. Priority will be given to projects that are ready to start development within six months. Our government is taking steps to ensure all Albertans have timely access to quality health care, when and where it is needed, and that our seniors have a place to call home in the communities they helped build, now and well into the future. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like to receive my e-newsletter, please contact my constituency office at: 780-6720000.

Respecting the Land conference at Augustana on Nov. 7 and 8 By Dan Jensen

How do we produce and consume food in a way that cares for the soil, water and air? How do we advance beyond hydrocarbon energy by being efficient with remaining energy stores and transitioning smoothly to alternative energies? How do we support our economy with our shopping habits? How do we nurture our human systems by creating vibrant, mixed use, healthy communities? Those are some of the questions that will be addressed at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus Nov. 7 and 8 when Spirit of the Land/Caring for Creation present a conference entitled Respecting the Land: Transitioning to a New Economy. “The focus will be on practical and local examples of how we respect the land by living within the limits and gifts of the natural and human systems,” said conference coordinator Leslie Lindballe. “A central feature will be round table discussions on sustainable food production, energy efficiency, local business and community development.” Conference plenary speakers James MagnusJohnston, Mike Unrau and Duane Guina will give a bigger picture look at some of the segments of the economy and hopefully provide some inspiration on the different steps that can be taken to bring about realistic change. Magnus-Johnston, who will lead a session entitled Community Led Transitions, is the Canadian director of the Centre for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy, an organization that promotes the transition

to a dynamic economy without growth. He is also an instructor of political studies and economics with Canadian Mennonite University, the co-chair of Transition Winnipeg, and the executive director of RISE Urban Incubator, a social enterprise that promotes, tests and mainstreams innovations for resilience. Unrau, whose topic is Respect the New Economy: Circulating New Ideas About Money, works presently with Calgary Dollars, a complementary currency system working to shift the new economy through relocalization and financial stability. He has been invited to present in Den Hague, Netherlands, on developing government support for a complementary currency, as well as in Banff on the Quest for Meaningful Work on Aligning Purpose and Passion for the New Economy. Guina, whose presentation is entitled Prophet by the Land, is director of Farmland Legacies, a farm land trust in Saskatchewan, that works with farmers who would not otherwise have the opportunity to be on the land. His hope is that, through his work, he can positively contribute to the creation of a better food system, and therefore, a better world. “Quite often, when we talk about changing the economy in light of all the other threats, there is the notion that we have to create something new and flick a switch to get there,” said Lindballe. “Our plenary speakers, who are involved in large scale projects themselves, will explain that there is an extensive network of

individuals that are already participating in a new economy, and will give a picture of what can happen when you dream big.” The conference will also feature a number of Camrose and area speakers who will address such subjects as alternative energy, healthy and liveable communities and local business. Lindballe hopes that everyone who attends the conference and is part of the discussions will be able to see the role that they can play in a new economy, whether it is through research, deciding about the kind of energy they bring into their home, or simply supporting farmers’ markets and downtown businesses. “We would like to show them something new and another place where they can direct their energies,” she said. “Help them see where they fit into the overall web.” Respecting the Land: Transition to a New Economy is the fourth Spirit of the Land/ Caring for Creation conference since 2010. The previous two conferences were entitled: Responsibility for the Land: Conversations about Fracking in Alberta; Spirit of the Land: toward building a community land ethic; and Caring for All Creation. “We have had good turnouts, with 150 or so people showing up to each one,” said Lindballe. “The number of people attending is exactly the number we have needed to be there.” More information about the conference may be obtained by going to www. spiritoftheland.ca.

Ryker Leer has accepted a scholarship to attend the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Alaska coach Dallas Ferguson will continue where Kodiaks coach Boris Rybalka leaves off. “We are very happy for Ryker and he has worked hard to get to this point in his life and hockey career. I can remember when he was young and coming out to our hockey schools and now he has accomplished this. This is only the beginning of his career at the next level. His leadership and work ethic will carry him a long way,” said coach Rybalka. Leer is the Kodiaks’ leading point man this season with four goals and 11 assists for 15 points in just 14 games. Last season he collected 14 goals and 16 assists for 30 points in 57 games. He added an assist in one game during the 2012-13 campaign. The 18-year-old played his minor hockey in Red Deer.

of service for municipal fire departments, established basic funding for provision of services, and re-wrote the fire services bylaw to bring all changes into compliance. His work was welcomed by council, except for bylaw 1347, which prohibits the discharge of fireworks without a permit. The Alberta Fire Chiefs Association has lobbied the province for many years to ban pyrotechnic devices, which Zayonce feels are extremely dangerous and can cause explosions, fires, injury or death. “The province was in the process of banning low level fireworks except in municipalities willing to regulate purchase and discharge through bylaw, unfortunately political changes within the province has slowed this process,” said Zayonce. “Fireworks are not only a threat to public safety,

will be too many especially if a fire or explosion was to threaten lives and property caused by low level fireworks.” Over the past year and a half, Camrose County Peace Officers have investigated several complaints regarding fireworks discharging. These complaints require investigation, which incurs costs to the County that are not recoverable, even if an offence ticket is issued. Additional costs are incurred as the regional fire services coordinator must be involved in the investigation process due to his authority under the Safety Codes Act. (Enabling legislation for the Alberta Fire Code). “Fire chiefs within the county do not feel comfortable issuing fireworks permits due to potential liabilities to them and the dangers involved with

have been directed to me for that service. Ensuring the safety of residents is our prime concern. It is adamantly felt that, no matter the fireworks device, these products are truly dangerous no matter who discharges them.” The total ban on fireworks was met with some opposition at the regular council meeting on Oct. 14. “I know several residents that like to discharge fireworks at family functions and I don’t have a problem with that,” said councillor Ken Kruse, who then asked for numbers on how many people are injured with the county by fireworks. No current data was available to council. “We can’t control everyone’s lives,” said Kruse. “Maybe we should ban lawn mowers because they are dangerous. I think we should allow

like to discharge fireworks at special occasions like birthdays and that he doesn’t think it is a huge problem. Actual fireworks are not sold within the county. However, they can be purchased elsewhere by those 18 and over and brought into the area. “I certainly don’t want to ban fireworks because some people enjoy it. I can see the city banning it but we are rural where our neighbours are littler further away,” added councillor Trevor Miller. “The only thing is we don’t want those under 18 setting these off. I don’t want to change the bylaw. People enjoy fireworks and we addressed the noise factor by letting those around know that someone has a permit.” Councillors agreed to have administration take another look at the bylaw and bring it back at a future meeting for consideration.

Join the conversation Battle River School Division has begun the search for a Superintendent of Schools. As part of the process, we invited our community members to answer the question: “What are the qualities and skills you would like to see in the next Superintendent of Schools for BRSD.”

Always better – always better read

Central Alberta

Caring for our Watersheds is a program that empowers students to make changes in their local watershed. It was created by teachers, conservation groups and industry to provide a real-life learning experience for all Alberta students. Either individually or as a team, students from Grades 7-12 research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with a realistic solution. Community judges mark all proposals and select 10 finalists who are then invited to the final competition. The finalists present their ideas and receive cash awards and matching awards for their school, up to $1,000. In addition, $10,000 in implementation funding is available to all participants, so any student can turn his or her idea into a reality.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, October 28, 2014 – Page 47

IN ACTION:

Riparian Restoration The Golden Prairie 4-H club out of Forestburg has made a positive impact in the Battle River area Maven Boddy, a member of the club, came to Caring for our Watersheds in 2013 with a proposal to improve riparian health. Her proposal blew the judges away and won first place in the final competition. The plan? Plant hundreds of trees along the riverbank, educate the community, and implement a longterm health assessment strategy for the project site. That seems like a lot, but it’s nothing for a group of passionate 4H-ers with help from Battle River Watershed Alliance and CFW program sponsor Agrium! Prior to tree planting, the club planned an educational canoe ride along the area of the river that would be receiving the seedlings, with help from the Battle

River Watershed Alliance. During the ride participants were taught about riparian areas and factors contributing to their declining health. Then came the field day, where approximately 30 volunteers from the 4-H club gathered to plant over 200 native tree and shrub seedlings. These species grow well in the Alberta climate and also improve the strength of the riverbank and provide wildlife habitat for years to come. Now that the trees are planted, the project site will be monitored to determine how the health of the area is improving. Maven invited local experts to carry out riparian health assessments and bird surveys, and a second round of assessments is planned for a few years down the road.

Building a Better School CFW Finalists make their new Bashaw school a little more green What happens when a Caring for our Watersheds competition collides with passionate students and a new school building? Great things! The new Bashaw School, currently under construction, will be receiving a touch of green, thanks to the efforts of Caring for our Watersheds finalists Tyler Elder, Quinn Kisling, and Kaylin Dennis. Tyler Elder, who received third place in the 2014 final competition, brought forward a proposal to xeriscape the new school grounds. Xeriscaping is a form of landscaping which seeks to reduce water consumption through the planting of native species. The judges were impressed with this young man’s forward-thinking perspective and saw the potential that his idea held. But Tyler wasn’t the only student thinking about improving his school. Quinn Kisling and Kaylin Dennis had proposed the installation of low-flow toilets in the Bashaw School’s washrooms at the final competition in 2013. Low-flow toilets are an easy way to reduce water consumption, and make a lot of sense for a public building that receives a lot of use. These girls will soon see their idea become a reality, as the building’s budget has set low-flow toilets on the agenda. Other students are thinking about greening their school in a different way. Brogan Middleton, another 2014 Caring for our Watersheds

finalist, brought forward the importance of raising student awareness of watershed health through an ecologically-focused education program. And just when you thought it wouldn’t get any better, Bashaw School also had the good fortune of winning a water bottle fill-up station at the Caring for our Watersheds competition this year! With all of these changes, the students can enjoy their new building, be better informed, and use less water doing it!

The 2015

Caring for our Watersheds

contest is now open! Proposals must be submitted by Monday, April 13th, 2015. The final competition will take place on Saturday, May 23rd, 2015.
