FOOT PROBLEMS? I can help!
Back and Body Pain How many times have you said “My back hurts. I just need to sit down.” How many times do you feel fatigue in your back and body during the day? Our feet are our shock absorbers for our whole body. Now if your feet are not functioning properly, your whole body, especially your back, will feel the difference. PROGNOSIS: If untreated, your life can change significantly – not being able to work, spend time with your loved ones, and ultimately your health will suffer. Has anyone ever looked at your feet as the cause of the pain? Eighty percent of back pain is caused by carrying our weight incorrectly on our feet. TREATMENT: Total orthotics will help to eliminate the pressure on your back and legs to help release tense muscles. The orthotic will take pressure off the heels to neutralize the pressure through the lower extremities to make the pressure come off the back.
Now’s the time to work toward the transition with your personal goals in mind. It’s a big job. And, just like all big jobs, preparation is 90%. You can be prepared for the day your farm changes hands. Call Steph Jacobsen for straight-forward advice and a fresh perspective. Growing your money. Protecting your assets.

There were no final farewells, no sage words of advice when CFCW’s Dale Smith read his final newscast Oct. 17 and thereby ended a 47 and a half year career in the broadcasting business. “I am just not that kind of guy,” said Smith. “I prefer to be the kind of guy that goes to work, does his job the best he can and then goes home. I didn’t want to make a big fuss.” Smith lost his ego early on in his career when Rich Sims, who hired him in 1967, passed away after 15 years of doing the morning news. “After he got sick and left the air we did not get one phone call from anyone asking what had happened to him,” he said. “I realized then that radio people are not the stars that some make them out to be. You are there one day and you could be gone the next and nobody would notice. All they notice is that when they get up in the morning and turn on the radio is that there is some other guy giving them the news or letting them know who won the baseball game the night before. (The late) Mike Goetze told me that no matter how good you are at doing something somebody else can come in the next day and do the same thing, I have carried that with me for a long time.” Smith started becoming interested in broadcasting in the late 1950s when he listened to Johnny Esaw do the play by play of a game involving the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Edmonton Eskimos. “I remember Esaw talking about how cold it was in the press box and how he was sipping on something to keep him warm,” he recalled. “I was already a big sports fan at the time and felt I would be in a dream job if I was able to broadcast sports.” Smith was considering enrolling in a journalism program at Carleton University when his dad heard about a two year radio and
television arts course that was being offered at Mount Royal College in Calgary. After doing a fair bit of investigation, he enrolled in the program in the fall of 1965. “They had their own little radio station at the time but it was stuck up in the attic above the stage, in the gym,” he said. “They had a couple of turntables and you learned what it was about as far as playing records. The program wasn’t as big as it is now. Today Mount Royal and some of the other places like NAIT and SAIT have better equipment than some radio and TV stations.” It was near the end of his first year at Mount Royal that Smith received a call from Warren Holte, who was CFCW’s general manager and vice president, who asked him if he wanted to come up to Camrose and see how a real radio station operated. “He told me that he couldn’t pay me anything but that I would get a lot of experience just watching the business. I told him that would be fine and I would be there.” In his first month, Smith tried to soak up as much knowledge as he could. “All I did was sit in the back of the control room watching Bev Munro and Curly Gurlock do their thing as far as getting their shows on the air and go with Jim Brown to a couple of rodeos,” he said. “If somebody needed coffee I would go and get it for him.” His first big break came when the person who was doing the night show became ill and Sims asked him if he would take his place. “I did the night show for the months of July and August, until I had to go back to school,” he said.

Dale Smith is going to be missed By Dan Jensen
CFCW program director and manager of Edmonton operations for Newcap Radio Jackie Rae Greening speaks for a lot of the radio station’s employees and listeners when she says Dale Smith is going to be missed. “The thing I love about Dale is that he is so positive and so fun to be around,” said Greening. “He is just one of those guys that brings energy every day at work and does his job so well. Waking up in the morning and not hearing his voice on the radio is going to be really weird. “The only thing I won’t miss is seeing the Saskatchewan Roughriders photos that he has hung in the news room.” Greening said Smith has always had a special way of delivering the news. “His writing is interesting and his news reading is such that you can understand it. He came from that school where broadcasters were taught to use proper English and clearly enunciate their words. That is not being taught as much these days, and it is an area where Dale excels.” Greening said the only time she was concerned about Smith was a few years ago when he had a health scare. “It was a little worrisome because it affected his vocal chords. We thought it was going to be the end of his career, but he bounced back and he is almost in better health now than he was 10 years ago. He is like our Pete Hicks, someone who just keeps on ticking.” Greening said it was fun watching Smith adapt to the new computerized system in the early 2000s. “He used the old standard typewriter and we had to beg him to move over to the computer. It was a momentous occasion when he finally stopped using his typewriter.”

Smith made such an impression in his initial stint at the station that Sims phoned him in the early part of 1967 to ask if he would be interested in coming back when his schooling was finished. “I told him absolutely I was,” he said. “My last exam was on the 28th of April and I was on the air here the first of May.” After working as a disc jockey on the midnight until 5:30 a.m. shift for 15 months, Smith moved to the afternoon drive show, where he met Goetze and started to learn a few things about the news side of the business. In 1974, he started doing news Tuesdays and Wednesdays and remote broadcasts from various locations on Thursdays and Fridays, while maintaining his Saturday morning job as a deejay. “I was doing the 9 a.m. to

5 p.m. shift when Elvis Presley died,” he recalled. In 1983, Smith was approached about moving to the morning news front. “I was pretty comfortable with the nine to five shift because the kids were young and I didn’t want to be getting up at three in the morning, but I said I would do it on a fill in basis,” he

said. “As our program director Jackie Rae Greening says, I have been filling in now for 31 years.” Smith enjoyed the fact that when he was broadcasting the news every day was different than the one before. “News is so different than just a regular deejay show,” he said. “The announcers (deejays) play
the same commercials and the same music over and over again, whereas in news, I don’t know what I am going to be talking about each morning. You see the news at supper time and think that is what you are going to be talking about the next morning, but that is not always the case.” Continued on page 14

October in Kamifurano By Brenda Knull, BRSD teacher
October in Kamifurano is a great time for outings. The weather is generally not too hot or too cool. It’s a great time to go for walks and to get in one last hike before the snow comes. The leaves are decorated with beautiful browns, yellows, reds, and orange. The landscape resembles the pictures of eastern Canada that I’ve seen. Here, there really are four distinct seasons. Each has its own type of seasonal food, festivals, customs, and national holidays. It’s easy to revisit the same spot throughout the year since it’ll look a little different depending on the season. This month is marked with some distinct customs that begin on Oct. 1. The first is “change of dress day.” Do you know what that is? This day is known as the day to switch your uniform based on the season. For students who wear uniforms to school this means it’s time to put away their spring wear. It’s now a good time for students to wear their winter uniform, which is warmer and heavier, to school. June 1 is another important day when uniforms are switched again, but this time back to the spring attire. These seasonal clothing changes don’t have to happen exactly on June 1 and Oct. 1 respectively, but they do happen sometime right around those dates. I witnessed this change myself last June. I came into the office one day to find perhaps all of the staff now wearing short sleeve shirts instead of long sleeve shirts. I noticed this change as soon as I sat down at my desk because that’s just how obvious it was. Many people made comments to me last winter when I wore a short sleeve shirt. People just said that they couldn’t believe that I was wearing that type of shirt and that I must be very cold. The Red Feather Community Chest Campaign is another custom that usually starts in October. This campaign was started in 1921 in Japan. It is a voluntary fundraising event that lasts for three months to collect funds for social welfare projects. Campaigning in public places, such as train stations, creates public awareness and understanding about the cause. Each year approximately two million people are involved as volunteers. To better understand the campaign, I asked some co-workers to explain to me how it compared to UNICEF. It seems as though the two programs may have some similarities. Red feathers are given to people who donate money. Why are people given red feathers? They have been seen as a symbol

of courage in Europe since the time of Robin Hood. In 1928 some places in The United States started to use them, and in 1948 Japan started as well. I was able to witness a Red Feather Community Chest Campaign in Kamifurano on a weekend in September. There were many donation boxes present, information and pictures outlining different humanitarian projects. This took place at the town recreation centre. There were other booths set up at this event, too, which included fresh produce, flowers, and snacks that were for sale. You could learn about first aid and about how to protect your home from a fire. It seemed to be a very informative event. And it was another display of people from the community getting together. Please feel free to send me any questions that you may have about Kamifurano. My address is: Brenda Knull, 1-9-4, Midorimachi, Kamifurano, Sorachi-gun, Hokkaido, 071-0563.

That was how I received the some of them I haven’t seen “It was for me like going B/W “I remember at aboutCOLOURS: news that Robert Kennedy in quite a few years. They from the 19th century to five to seven that morning a had DUE: are 2014 up there and we are the 21st century in just one been shot inOCTOBER a hotel in 21,
story came across on the teletype machine and all it said was that a plane had hit the World Trade Centre. There wasn’t a lot going on in news that morning so I made that my lead story. It wasn’t until I had finished the newscast, the weather and the sports and walked out the newsroom that I found out exactly how big that plane was. After that the situation kept getting worse and an hour later the second plane hit and the towers came down. It seemed that was all we were talking about for the next three or four days.” Another big event that occurred on Smith’s watch came in early June of 1968. “I was still doing the all night show at the time but I had the door of the control room open so I could hear if any bulletins came across on the teletype machine,” he said. “All of a sudden,
Los Angeles.” While he was able to maintain his composure during most of his broadcasts, there were times – when he reported the deaths of Hal Yerxa and Goetze for instance – that it was difficult. “In cases like those you really have to sort it out and talk slower because if you go too fast you are going to start tearing up,” he said. “You don’t want to do that because you are supposed to be a professional on the air. Luckily, there hasn’t been too much of that kind of thing.” Smith watched with interest as CFCW grew from a small town radio station with one owner to a big business. “I really don’t have a lot of communication with head office, which is good in a way because they don’t
down here in our own little world and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Smith had no desire to leave Camrose, even when his job required him to travel back and forth to Edmonton for a period of eight and a half years in the 1990s and early 2000s. He is proud to say that for the last 41 years he has lived in the same home in which he and his wife, Diana, raised their two sons, Curtis and Scott. “We have been here forever and this is home,” he said. “Never once have I regretted the decision back in 1967 to tell Rich (Sims) that I would be there as soon as I finished school. Except for getting married I think it was probably the best decision I ever made. It has been a wonderful ride.” The only time Smith ever experienced any apprehension

I could not understand how I was going to get the newscasts onto the (computer) screen. Fortunately, Dean Thorpe, who is the CFCW news director now, took me under his wing for about a week and said once I got used to the new system I would never go back. It took me about a week and a half to realize how right he actually was. Things are so much easier now that I wonder sometimes how we ever did this job before.” Outside the radio station Smith served many years as public address announcer for the Augustana (Camrose Lutheran College) from 1974 to 1994,
the Camrose Merchants fastball team, the Camrose Maroons, and many Viking Cup hockey tournaments. “They were things that gave me something to do,” he said. “They allowed me to keep my interest in sports.” Although he is going to miss seeing familiar faces like Pete Hicks every day, Smith isn’t going to miss having to go to bed early every night so that he can get up at ten to three in the morning and be at CFCW for his first newscast at 5 a.m. “I mentioned to Diana a few weeks ago that it is going to be nice to be able to go to a 9 p.m. movie if we want, or watch the second half of the Monday Night Football games,” he said. “I try to lay down every afternoon for an hour or an hour and a half but I am still ready for bed at 8:30 p.m. or quarter to nine. It is just time to get up with the regular people again and to stay up until 10:30 or 11 p.m. I’ve told the other people at the radio station that I will come and see them, but that it will be at 10 a.m. or in the afternoon.”

Rural bus system is a success Submitted by Bashaw Bus Society and Association for Life-wide Living
MacEwan University student Thom Yee has seen lots of talk about the need for rural transportation but little action in terms of a unified service delivery for rural residents across the region. As an SCiP Intern (Serving Communities Internship Program) with Association for Life-wide Living (ALL), Yee knows that rural towns and villages can represent an idyllic way of life for those living in major urban centres. Seemingly free from the fastpaced stresses that rule our work and after-work activities, living in a smaller community can be an attractive prospect. What many forget, however, is the amount and level of services available in bigger cities – one of which is public transportation. In smaller communities, options for transport can be much more limited, and often come down to two choices: drive or walk. For those who have no vehicle of their own to drive — which can include students getting to college, adults travelling to cities outside their region, and seniors buying groceries — walking to a location two towns over isn’t a realistic option. And for others, particularly seniors in need of medical attention only available in other communities, the alternative they’re given is often to move into a major centre where services are available. What is being done about rural transportation in our region? Bashaw Bus Society has been running services to Camrose one to two times per week since 1999. This service continues. The community raised funds for the bus, driver and operations of this successful enterprise. Last week, there were 11 riders, and for September 2014 there was a total of 20 riders. But, ridership is only one indicator of the project’s success. For those who ride the bus, it means many things: having the bus contributes to their independence, wellbeing, feelings of being valued and much more. With support from ARDN, the Battle River Bus model was developed by the Association for Life-Wide Living (ALL) of Alberta as a practical, affordable regional model for rural transportation in Battle River region, an area with a population of some 120,000 people. ALL began to recognize the need for rural transportation as far back as November, 2004, when the organization starting working with senior long-term care residents and their families to address the needs people were experiencing. Before long, the need for transportation became

Decks • Garden Sheds • Garages • Barns • Storage Buildings • Shops and more! a priority, and plans began to develop a rural transport model that would address the need for rural transportation in the Battle River region. In the summer of 2012, qualitative and quantitative research was conducted by ALL to capture transportation needs in five communities along Highway 21. Based on those findings, a pilot project was launched on May 1, 2013 by a working group comprised of ALL, the Bashaw Bus Society and Camrose County. Since then, additional research has been started along Highway 13, beginning with a rural transportation stakeholder survey with representatives from 12 organizations in the Provost area. The Highway 21 pilot project collaboration has achieved many positive results which will be reported in future articles. During the project period (May 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014),
the Bashaw Bus continued its regular services, but with the addition of a weekly run each Thursday to Camrose and also serving residents of Ferintosh, Edberg, New Norway and Duhamel. Bashaw Bus Society and ALL hope to have a full evaluation of the pilot project with Camrose County soon. The ultimate vision for the Battle River Bus is to build out a system that will serve to connect the entire region in an integrated, regional rural transportation system based on existing assets and expanded upon according to research-based needs and project-informed outcomes. Though the bus would benefit the communities in many ways — providing connections to in-region shopping, continuing education, libraries and tourism opportunities — it will be particularly meaningful for the seniors who would be able to reliably reach much-needed
health care services that may otherwise have been nearly impossible to access. Living anywhere, rural or urban, is not a circumstance easily changed when unexpected needs arise. People develop roots where they live, and that’s all part of being in, building and sustaining a community. So when the remedy given to people in need of resources and medical attention only available outside their area is to move away, it can be a hard pill to swallow. Lifestyle choices that upend our ways of life can be difficult if not downright traumatic for even the most flexible, and it’s not a simple thing for seniors to just drop everything and move out of the homes they’ve lived in for their entire lives. Though at this stage it’s too early to tell what sort of longterm effects the Battle River Bus project will have, it is certain that transportation in
rural Alberta is a prospect worth pursuing. Rural progress
Significant progress is being made to address the lack of rural transportation in Battle River region. Since our region is large, and the problem is a big one that grew over many years, many of the results may not be immediately obvious. So, stay posted for progress updates on the results of the growing efforts to address rural transportation in Battle River region. Battle River Bus project members gratefully acknowledge the following for support: ARDN, Bashaw and District Health and Wellness Foundation, Camrose County, Camrose and District Thrift Store, Friends of Fridhem Society, Provost Town Council, SCiP (Volunteer Alberta), STEP (Alberta Government) and numerous volunteers.

Several graduates from the New Norway Class of 1994 gathered at the New Norway Community Hall Oct. 20 to celebrate 20 years since their graduation. Among the attendees were supervisors, oil patch workers, consultants, a freelance writer, stay-at-home moms, a former mayor, spouses and children. Many of the attendees live within an hour-and-ahalf of the school. A few now have children that attend the same school that they did. There were a couple of notable exceptions among the group. Jessica Renziehausen, from Bremen, Germany, who attended New Norway in Grade 12 as an exchange student, came back to New Norway for the reunion. Another member of the class, Michael Johnson, who was recently deployed in Afghanastan with the US Navy, also made the trip to New Norway. A handful of the class’ teachers were also in attendance. The event also included a visit to the school, followed by a meal, and then wrapped up with an emotional video presentation.

MUD RACES FOR SPECIAL OLYMPICS
Michael Branton, Bev Fehr, Justin Hoecherl, Leighton Kimmel, Lisa Hoecherl, Charla Jans and Bryanne Abt raised funds for Special Olympics Camrose by entering a Mud Race in Red Deer on Aug. 8. Together they raised $1,125 to help support local programs.
National Hockey League player Nick Holden could have been at home relaxing on a warm summer weekend morning and taking life easy. But, that’s not the humble defenceman that Camrose embraced quickly when he was with the Camrose Kodiaks. Instead, he spent Aug. 2 cooking sausages for the Camrose Kodiaks’ Charity Breakfast during the Big Valley Jamboree music festival. After a solid year with the Kodiaks, he left to join Chilliwack in the Western Hockey League. He signed as a free agent and spent several seasons in the Columbus Blue Jackets system in Syracuse and Springfield. Holden broke into the NHL with the Columbus Blue Jackets. In 2010-11, he played five games for Columbus. He followed that up with two more games during the 2012-13 season. “Columbus wanted to head in a different direction, so it was time to leave,” said Holden. When he was a free agent, he examined offers from several teams, but chose to sign with the Colorado Avalanche. “I liked the fact that they were a young team eager to win,” said the former Camrose junior player. “I felt comfortable there, so I signed a three-year contract extension.” His first season in Colorado sparked more offence and he responded with 10 goals and 15 assists in 54 games. He backed that up with three goals and an assist in seven playoff games. Now that his address won’t be changing soon, barring a trade, he
will be comfortable in his role as one of the leaders on a team that is longing for more playoff experience. “Last year I had the opportunity to step in and contribute all year and that was exciting,” said Holden. “They wanted me back for three more. I now have some security in a nonsecure game. It’s nice, and great to get an opportunity.” Holden is just happy to be in the NHL. “I was okay to sign one year at a time, but they offered three. Obviously, it is a relief to know that you are going to be playing hockey for another four years. For me, and my family, we can somewhat plan where we are going to be for the next four years.” Once Holden tasted NHL life in Columbus, he was determined to get back. “I was with Columbus for five years and three contracts, and then last summer I was an unrestricted free agent, so I felt the best opportunity was with Colorado,” he reasoned. “When I talked with the assistant general manager and looked at the roster, and saw that coach Patrick Roy was coming in as coach in his first year, I just thought that it was going to be a good opportunity to go in with a fresh start for everybody. It didn’t matter if it was a rookie or a veteran coming in, if you could make a good first impression then you might have a better opportunity. I thought the club was awesome, but at the same time I was looking at their defence and knew they were going to give me the best opportunity to make the club.” Continued on page 20

Grants being used to strengthen rural areas Brandon University (BU) is leading a new $5.2 million international partnership, including $2.5 million in federal grants, to strengthen the voices of rural and northern communities. Lars Hallström, Director for the Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities, is a co-applicant on the project. The Rural Policy Learning Commons (RPLC) will network scholars, politicians and citizens in a variety of ways including conferences, webinars and publications, to ensure that policy-makers are cognizant of the characteristics, unique benefits and challenges associated with rural and northern places. “Rural regions and urban centres remain connected through their labour needs, food production, resource development, and energy demands,” says Dr. Bill Ashton, Director of BU’s Rural Development Institute (RDI) and project manager. “The RPLC will engage urban-based policy decisionmakers with rural-focussed challenges, opportunities, and aspirations.” The RPLC is a seven year initiative with funding from more than 30 partners, including a Partnership Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). An existing global network of 90 institutional and individual participants will grow significantly as the partnership expands to include more countries, regions, and communities. Ed Holder, Minister of State (Science and Technology), in announcing the Partnership Grant at Brandon University, said, “Our Government is focused on creating jobs, prosperity and improving the quality of life of Canadians. We will continue to encourage industryacademic partnerships like the one at Brandon University in order to undertake research into public policy to better reflect the realities of rural Canadians in Manitoba and across the country.” ”I am particularly excited about this initiative because it also allows us to explore innovations in international collaboration,” says Dr. William Reimer, BU adjunct professor and project director; a researcher who has been exploring exclusion and inclusion in rural areas, the informal economy, and relations between rural and urban people and institutions for the past four decades. “Since it is almost impossible to get all our participants in the same place at the same time, we are forced to find ways to collaborate across vast differences and multiple time zones.

X-Bolt Medallion You don’t want to be embarrassed with a sub-par rifle on any hunt. And perhaps this is the year you need to upgrade your hunting rifle. The X-Bolt Medallion bolt action rifle is presented with a fine glossfinished, Checkered Walnut stock. The steel receiver is engraved and has a blued finish for beauty and durability. Insuring long-range accuracy is the totally free-floated barrel and Feather Trigger System, two of the most critical components of any high-powered hunting rifle. Action of the bolt is sure, smooth and secure.
FEATURES: • Rosewood caps on the fore-end and grip offer additional elegance. • Durable polished blued steel for a striking appearance. • Free floated barrel eliminates contact interference from the fore-end, enabling the superior barrel craftsmanship to perform consistently and accurately. • Drilled and tapped for X-Lock scope mounts that use four screws for each base to provide a rock solid optic platform. • Low profile action allows you to mount the scope extremely close to the center of the bore to minimize the offset between point of aim and Point of Impact. • 60° bolt lift keeps the thumb and fingers clear of the scope when cycling the action and allows the bolt to be operated in a smoother/quicker motion. • Top-tang safety offers easy accessibility without removing your firing hand from the stock. The shooter can quickly manipulate the safety, or verify the position of the safety, without losing your sight picture or cheek weld. • Detachable Rotary magazine is built from tough polymer and is designed to stop forward movement of the cartridge by contacting the shoulder of the case rather than the tip of the projectile. This prevents bullet tip deformation and recoil induced bullet seating depth change. • Innovative Inflex Technology recoil pad uses directional deflection to pull the stock down and away from the face to reduce perceived recoil.

Everyone reads The Booster A n n i e Banack (90 years young) has been a loyal Toronto Blue Jays fan for many, many years. She has cheered faithfully for her Jays year after year, watching every game she could on television. Her lifelong dream of watching the The Blue Jays live at Rogers Stadium in Toronto finally came true! Annie travelled to Toronto with nine family members (son, daughter, two daughters-inlaw, two sons-inlaw and three grandchildren) and watched two Blue Jays games. The experience was unbelievable, the dome on Rogers Stadium was open for the first game and closed for the next; that in itself is amazing! The Toronto Blue Jays organization was amazing. They knew Annie was there and between innings the TV cameras put Annie’s picture on the big Jumbo Tron (big screen) as she waved at the crowd. The crowd gave Annie a cheer as big as the ones they gave the Blue Jays! Everyone treated her like the Queen she is. Annie loves her Blue Jays! Now back in Camrose she has lots of great memories as she watches the Blue Jays on TV. She still can’t believe it all happened. Annie will receive a $10.00 cheque for this week’s entry.

Be sure your travel destination can be identified by a sign or landmark. Or, have someone take your photo while you’re enjoying the home team paper in an unlikely situation.

Holden shines with good coaching Continued from page 18
Holden took his chance and ran with it. “At this point in my career, I don’t want to be in the minors anymore. I did approach Colorado about the idea of signing two years instead of one year because I thought I might have to prove myself to a new organization and they had returning defencemen. As it turned out, I had a good camp and I was told that I would be the eighth defenceman to start the year,” he recalled. “I went a month without playing and then some players got hurt. I got in and played well enough not to get knocked out. Patrick kept saying be positive, you are going to get in. It was easy for me because it was where I wanted to be,” said the former Kodiak. “We expected going in that Patrick was going to be fiery, but very passionate towards the game and to the Avalanche. He loves hockey and knows hockey very well. With our guys, there was no screaming or yelling at us. He came in as a very good teacher of his system and he was patient. Right from the beginning we said it was a partnership, instead of him telling us what to do.” The players were free to speak up if they didn’t like or agree with his system. “He encouraged us to speak our minds and that we would work it out. I think he did a really good job coming in and getting guys to play his system. Some guys did step up and changed things and it showed that it was a partnership,” he added. “It was the first time I had a coach do that and it worked with us. He has our back. He showed that the first game when he got
after coach (Bruce) Boudreau a little. In the media all year, he never once said anything bad about our players. He stood up for us all of the time and he showed us that we are all in this together,” said Holden. “Unfortunately, I was only here (with the Kodiaks) for a short time, but the Kodiaks gave me my first opportunity. When I played in the RBC Cup in Weyburn, well you just can’t beat that experience. For me, Camrose did a ton. My wife is from here, so without her I wouldn’t have the family support that I have. The start they gave me was huge. Boris (coach Rybalka) is a good coach and he taught me a lot early on.” Confidence was the missing factor. “Boris said the only thing stopping me from being a professional player was confidence. Once I believed in myself, played more games and got more confidence, it just built from there. The more you play, the more you know you can play at that level.” The Kodiaks are a big part of the community. “What they do for the community is huge for the organization and for the players. At the breakfast they are fundraising, but they are helping the community as well,” said Holden. “It is cool to see the other side of it. They are successful on and off the ice because they are part of the community.” When Holden sat out a game due to an injury, it gave another former Kodiak a taste of the NHL. Karl Stollery stepped in and played well after taking his place. Stollery might have to find another spot to grab because Holden is staying in Colorado for a few more years.

November is National Community Safety and Crime Prevention Month, and the Canada Safety Council encourages all Canadians to reach out to their neighbours this month. “When you take the time to know your neighbours, not only will you probably be healthier and happier for it, your efforts will also make the community safer for everyone,” said Jack Smith, president of the Canada Safety Council. Here are some tips for reaching out in the interests of safety: • Take a walk in your neighbourhood. Make a point of greeting people. Be known to them and remember who they are. • Offer to assist neighbours and don’t shy away from asking for help. Small requests can be an excuse to strike up a conversation and discuss neighbourhood safety issues or concerns. • Spend time in your front yard or common area. When you sit out front, not only are you an extra pair of “eyes on the street,” and you also open up new opportunities to greet and be greeted by neighbours. • Join in or lead a community activity or event. Whether it’s a cleanup, fundraiser or block party, having a common goal can unite the neighbourhood and nurture a local network of friendships. Consider engaging others in initiatives like the Block Parent or Neighbourhood Watch Program. We can all take simple steps to build one of the most powerful defences against crime: a resilient and caring community of neighbours who look out for one another. Check back frequently at www.canadasafetycouncil.org for more activities and resources on reaching out to neighbours during National Community Safety and Crime Prevention Month this November.

Aspenes Award presented to Bennett By Christopher Thrall
On Sunday, Oct. 5, the morning began with our Alumni Worship Service including a performance by the Alumni Choir. Afterwards, Augustana alumni, their families and our friends from around the world gathered at the brand new Performing Arts Centre for brunch and a welcome from Dean Allen Berger – once he was finished cooking pancakes for everyone! “You are our very first guests at the very first reception in this wonderful room, the Mayer Family Community Hall,” he announced. He welcomed our earliest class attendee, Lillus Leiren (’42), our class of 1954 attendees, and our class of 1964 attendees from both high school and junior college. Also joining us were previous Distinguished Alumni Award recipients Clarence (’46) and Irvin (’52) Servold, and LeRoy Johnson (’61), plus professors Emeriti Garry Gibson, Morley Riske, By Reesor, LeRoy Johnson, David Dahle and Dave “Doc” Larson. After discussing many of the campus building plans upcoming in the next year, Dean Allen Berger also introduced a very special guest. Congratulations to our 2014 Lois Aspenes Award recipient, Marion Bennett (BA ’90) “The 2014 Lois Aspenes Award recipient, Marion Bennett, is a former high school teacher,” Dr. Berger began. “Most importantly, she is an avid and voracious learner. “Her first degree was a BSc Honours from London University in England in 1944. After settling in Canada, she earned a BEd degree from the University of Alberta in 1951. Marion and her husband David moved to the Camrose area in 1957 as teachers at the Bashaw School. “While teaching, she listened to annual presentations by representatives of Camrose Lutheran College and became convinced that the opportunity for her students to take university courses close to home would be of great benefit to them. She also valued the small campus setting and the close relationships forged between students and professors. “Upon retirement, Marion, already an active reader, took her own advice, registered at Augustana, and graduated with a four-year Bachelor of Arts degree with great distinction, having majored in Religious Studies, in 1990. Even after receiving her degree she continued to take classes. “Many much younger alumni and Augustana faculty remember Marion as an energetic participant and a vibrant exemplar of lifelong learning. In my letter to Marion informing her of today’s honour, I wrote: “We believe your zest for life and your commitment to lifelong learning exemplify the kind of student we wish to shape.” “But Marion is also a role model in other ways. People who have worked at Augustana longer than I can’t remember her missing a Community Awards Banquet, and her ongoing interest in the young people who are the recipients of the generous awards she has funded is inspiring. As an engaged alumna, a generous benefactor, and a friend and exemplar for multiple generations of Augustana students, you are exceptionally worthy of this recognition.”
