City council sets Feb. 10 as date for by-election

By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents will be going to the polls to elect another member of City council Feb. 10.

“We are required by the Municipal Government Act to hold a by-election within 90 days,” explained Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer at council’s regular meeting Dec. 1.

Nomination Day for the by-election will be held on Jan. 13, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Advance polls will be held at the Camrose Fire Hall from 1 to 7 p.m. Feb. 4 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Feb. 7.

Any resident eligible to vote in the municipal election may vote at the advance poll.

An institutional travelling poll will be conducted on election day at specificized times at institutions, the hospitals and lodges. Arrangements will also be made to attend the residence of any person who is physically incapable of attending a polling station. These persons are requested to make arrangements in advance with the returning officer, City of Camrose general manager of corporate and protective services Kim Isaak.

As voters lists are not utilized, a voter can select any polling station within the city to vote.

“As with the last municipal election there is the requirement for voters to show one piece of identification that shows residency,” said City manager Damian Herle. “The declaration will still need to be signed stating their eligibility to vote.”

The City of Camrose website will be updated with election information, including candidate handbooks/ information and advanced voting locations.

Municipal elections and by-elections are governed by the Local Authorities Elections Act. The councillor position became open with the passing of councillor Ray McIsaac on Nov. 14.

BRSD facing bus driver shortage

By Dan Jensen

The surging Alberta economy is making things difficult for the Battle River School Division transportation system.

“The fact that there are so many good paying job opportunities is making it hard for us to find the bus drivers we need,” explained BRSD transportation director Brenda Johnson. “People don’t like the idea of split shifts where they work an hour and a half to two hours in the morning and an hour and a half to two hours in the afternoon because it doesn’t allow them to fit a full job in between.”

BRSD had 65 instances in the first two months of this year (September and October) where it had to cancel a route, take a driver from one area to help out in another, hand a route to a staff safety officer or mechanic, or combine routes so that instead of going on two different buses to get home, students went on one. One such case came last Wednesday, when BRSD could not find a driver for the Alliance to Sedgewick school route, leaving parents with the decision of whether to drive their kids

to school themselves or just leave them at home.

BRSD currently has 78 full time drivers for its 80 bus routes, as well as 66 spares who fill in when they are needed.

“I have openings for two full time bus drivers, right now, one in Sedgewick and one in Camrose,” said Johnson.

“I also have a route that will be opening up at the end of this (last) week that has been covered by a spare since the fall.”

The shortage of drivers and cancellation of certain routes has been especially frustrating for parents in the division who are employed and count on the buses to get their children to school.

“I get a lot of calls from parents and I understand where they are coming from but I can’t make more people,” said Johnson. “It is not my intention when I get up in the morning to anger 40 parents, but often that is what I do.”

While the spare drivers are able to help out when they can, there is no requirement that they have to be available for duty.

“They are not just sitting there all day waiting for the phone to ring,” said BRSD communications coordinator Diane Hutchinson. “They have other things to do as well.”

The spares also place

certain restrictions on which bus routes they are can take. It is unlikely, for example, that a spare from the Sedgewick attendance area would want to help out in the Tofield area.

“We have some spares that are willing to do just whatever we ask of them but we usually try to source a driver from the local area first,” said Johnson. “Other spares are just on the list because they want to help out with field trips and aren’t interested in taking on full-time routes.”

BRSD advertises bus driving jobs as a perfect opportunity to subsidize a home based business or pension or simply add an extra income to the household. Among its many benefits, it says, are competitive wages (up to $1,700 per month), a hiring bonus, a health spending account and an employee assistance program.

“We don’t offer a pension but we contribute to an RSP for regular drivers,” said Johnson.

BRSD provides all the training that a prospective driver needs to upgrade from a Class 5 licence for cars to Class 2 and reimburses the entire cost of the medical, written test and driving test.

“We have a safety officer who works with you to make you test ready,” said Johnson.

“You will be totally confident

(driving a bus) by the time you take your exam. Our rate of completion is almost 100 per cent.”

BRSD also provides ongoing support on student management issues.

“That hasn’t been a major deterrent to people coming on board,” said Johnson, “but if there is a problem we have an entire team that is ready to provide support.

The problem with finding bus drivers is one that is affecting school divisions across the province.

“I am president of the Provincial Student Transportation Association and we are collecting stats province wide right now to present to the provincial government,” said Johnson. “They (government) say that they are aware of the fact that we have a driver shortage in Alberta and they say they are monitoring it, but they are not talking to us on the front lines. The statistics that we present to them will give them concrete evidence of how far reaching the problem really is. The problems I have in this school division are nothing compared to the Calgary Public board, which has 30 routes a day that just don’t go.”

Approximately 3,600 of BRSD’s 6,360 students ride the bus to and from school every day. Altogether, BRSD buses travel just under 12,000 kilometres a day, or 2.179 million km per year.

Funds for elevator

By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council has allocated $40,000 for elevator maintenance at Camrose Public Library.

Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen told council at its Dec. 1 meeting that the library elevator is in need of significant upgrade work in order to ensure ongoing and reliable function.

“As far as can be determined,” said Nielsen, “the elevator is original equipment and has seen little need for major maintenance since 1981. Many mobility compromised patrons of the library use the elevator for access to both levels and staff use it for moving programming materials and books between the floors, so its ongoing function is vital to the library operation.”

Funds for the work were not budgeted in either the library’s or the City’s 2014 budget.

The City of Camrose is the building owner and landlord, and thus any maintenance expense for the library structure is the City’s responsibility.

The library has applied for a grant to help offset the cost of repair but the results of the grant application will not be known until April of 2015.

Lions Club International director liked what he saw

By Murray Green

Lions Club International director Jack Epperson liked what he saw from the local organization at a conference held at the Best Western Camrose Resort Casino, Oct. 25.

The international director from Carson City, Nevada gathered information on the success of the Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club and other Alberta clubs to share with other clubs around the world.

“To be honest, I never heard of Camrose before.

Every district in Lions is entitled to have an international officer come and be the keynote speaker. I’m a first year director in a twoyear term on the international board. Each of us attend between 12 and 15 conventions each year,” explained Epperson. “The purpose is to bring people up to date on what is occurring in the international organization. It is to let everyone know Lions Club International is interested in all clubs.”

Epperson said the local clubs are the most important.

“We provide support, leadership and people to

keep the clubs successful. We want clubs to understand that we are there to support them. I had the privilege of being chauffeured around by Mary and Gary Cunningham. They took me to the steel mills and showed me the wood business they had.

It was so successful that it outgrew their resources.

I was both impressed and envious. I hope the club is able to bring in more members because that was a tremendous fundraising opportunity. When you think of how those funds are applied to the community over the next few years as a result of that sale, it will continue as a legacy.”

Epperson will remember that story and share it with others as he tours the globe.

“Those are the success stories we want to share, so other clubs can fund success as well,” he added. “We are all learning from each other. I was constantly taking notes.

It is nice to see the rejuvenation of this club, under a

different name, to continue to serve in the area. Most of them are new members and have been with them for less than five years. They are learning about the organization, so I am encouraged. I think there is opportunity here.”

More hearts means more hands.

“The more people we bring in, the more we can help the community. The fact is that the Lions have been aging and we need those replacements,” said Epperson. “Lions International is experiencing growth except in two areas, Canada and in the United States. We need to turn that around.”

The director would like to see more campus clubs.

“Camrose is an ideal spot to have a campus club because there is a wonderful university to draw members from,” said an excited Epperson. “I’d like to encourage the local club to expand in that area in the future. In fact, I’m going to challenge the local club to bring in the college students to become Lions.”

The Lions will support the formation of a student club without costs to start.

ELKS ASSIST CHARLIE KILLAM SCHOOL BAND

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Charlie Killam School band student Erica Bernard, left, and band teacher Bob Bailey, right, received $250 from Elks exalted ruler Gerry Czapp to assist with the music program at the middle school. Band students help the Elks by serving meals at club functions.

The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund is once again asking for your support in providing food hampers to the less fortunate.

“We’re trying to raise $25,000 this year to cover the cost of filling 275 hampers,” said Merry Christmas Fund chair Larry Schultz Dec. 4. “As of today we have raised $11,000 so we are not quite at the half way mark.”

Camrose and area residents and businesses are typically slow with their support of the Merry Christmas Fund.

“It has been the same every year since I have been with the fund,” explained Schultz. “We don’t usually see our donations start to climb until right at the very end.”

The fund raised just under $28,000 in 2014, an amount that was able to provide 266 hampers. Food is usually purchased in October in order to get the best pricing.

Delivery date The food hampers, along with the toys that have been donated to the Camrose Kinette Club’s Silent Santa program, will be delivered to the homes in the morning of Saturday, Dec. 20.

“The deliveries usually start at around 9 a.m. and are finished by 11,” said Schultz. “We are fortunate to have the help of the trucks and vans of the Post Office and Purolator, as well as the Rose City Handivan. It helps to make things go a lot quicker.”

Good feeling Merry Christmas Fund volunteers have many stories to tell about the deliveries they make.

“It gives you a good feeling when you are able to present families with a hamper and toys,” said Schultz. “Over the years there have been many teary eyed people who have been very thankful for the gifts they have received.”

Make a donation Anyone wishing to help the Camrose Merry Christmas Fund may drop their donations off at the Camrose Fire Hall on Parkview Drive or at the Royal Bank on 50 Avenue and 51 Street. Tax deductible receipts will be mailed to donors early in the new year.

“The people in Camrose and area have been very generous in the past,” said Schultz. “We are hoping that they remember the less fortunate again this year. We want to make sure that this Christmas a little bit brighter for everyone.”

People who are wishing to have a hamper delivered to them are encouraged to call the Camrose Neighbor Aid Centre at 780-679-3220 to register. Information on how to donate to assist with deliveries can be obtained by calling Schultz at 780-672-1493.

The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund was launched in 1965.

Appeasement doesn’t work

Mr. Hendrickson thinks I misread the danger posed by the so-called Islamic State and other Islamic terror organizations. These ‘wolf packs’ are like school yard bullies, attacking the weak and defenseless; a swift punch to the nose ends the threat. Our intellectuals are offended at the thought of punching bullies in the nose. They prefer appease-

ment, but appeasement never works.

I recently had the dubious pleasure of watching an “Islamic State” propaganda video featuring a bearded ‘gentleman’ in army fatigues wandering around a captured Iraqi military base.

Our ‘tour guide’ showed off equipment and weapons, laughing about the Iraqi soldiers who surrendered all this loot. Entering a room filled with captured Iraqis, he chuckled as he said they would soon die because they weren’t ‘true’ Muslims.

Then he smirked and said, “We’re coming for you, too.”

I remember thinking, “You can’t even make bullets for the rifle hanging from your shoulder; how do you expect to defeat a well-trained, well-supplied, Western army?”

Well, the reason Islamic State fanatics think they can defeat Western armies is that the West has already defeated itself. For decades extremist groups have ‘test-

ed the waters’ to see how we react to when attacked. Our political and cultural opinion makers have consistently defended the attackers.

For some reason our socalled ‘progressive’ elites hate the culture which nurtures them. This progressivism is a suicidal philosophy that believes traditional Western civilization is evil. These are the same idiots who chant, “Hey, hey, Ho, ho, Western Civ. has got to go!” never realizing it means their own extinction.

An analysis by the [communist] Chinese Academy of Social Sciences may explain the [secular] progressive hatred for Western civilization.

‘One of the things we were asked to look into was what accounted for the success, in fact, the pre-eminence of the West all over the world. We studied everything we could from the historical, political, economic, and cultural perspective. At first,

we thought it was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system. But in the past twenty years, we have realized that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity. That is why the West is so powerful. The Christian moral foundation of social and cultural life was what made possible the emergence of capitalism and then the successful transition to democratic politics. We don’t have any doubt about this.’

Maybe that’s why ‘progressive’ intellectuals hate Western civilization, and maybe that’s why atheistic, communist China opened the door to Christianity.

“You don’t have to defend a Lion, you just have to let him out of His cage.”

Walk a Mile in Her Shoes participants fitted with heels

By Dan Jensen

Six Camrose businessmen and City councillor Bill Sears were fitted for flaming red high heels at Sole City Shoes last week in advance of next month’s Walk a Mile In Her Shoes fundraiser for the Camrose Women’s Shelter.

ATB relationship manager Don Lyon has participated in the event every year since it started four years ago.

“I enjoy the fundraising and the cause. I don’t enjoy the walking part,” said Lyon, who is also a director on the Women’s Shelter board. “I usually do pretty good for the first lap but by the time I am finished the second I am looking to Cloud 9 Day Spas for a foot massage.

Some people get through the whole thing and some even run. I don’t know how they do that in high heels but they do.”

The Walk a Mile In Her Shoes Event is a fun way to increase awareness of domestic and sexual violence towards women and help raise funds for services that are offered by the Camrose Women’s Shelter. A total of $25,000 was raised for the shelter the first year, followed by $44,000 in the second and $36,000 by fifty participants in the third.

“Walk a Mile in Her Shoes has enjoyed a lot of success in the last years but I would like to see us have more success this year, not only in terms of awareness but in fundraising,” said Camrose Women’s Shelter

Camrose Women’s Shelter executive director Nora-Lee Rear fits City councillor Bill Sears into a pair of red high heel shoes while Hans Asfeldt, president of the Augustana Students’ Association, waits his turn.

executive director Nora-Lee Rear. “This is my first experience with the Walk a Mile in Her Shoes and I am very excited to be part of it.”

Lyon dressed in a maid outfit at last year’s event, and is prepared to do so again if the staff at ATB are able to raise a certain amount.

“They (ATB staff) will be able to do my makeup but I am not sure about the waxing of my legs,” he said.

“They would really have to come to the table for that to happen.”

Lyon believes it is important that men in Camrose and surrounding area sign up for Walk a Mile in Her Shoes to show support for the Camrose Women’s Shelter.

“The cause is absolutely vital,” he said.

Rear said the Camrose

Women’s Shelter is always on the lookout for more walkers.

“We have been talking to men who have been involved in previous years and are trying to expand the number of walkers we have as well.”

Camrose Women’s Shelter assisted 160 women and 195 children from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The shelter also assisted families with outreach services, provided 30 public presentations

and received 816 phone calls on its regional help line (780672-1035).

“Family violence is a societal issue that impacts all of us,” Rear said. “Family violence is not always physical, it can be emotional or financial or sexual.”

The Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event will be held between intermissions of a Camrose Kodiaks home game on Jan. 23.

Christmas shopping tactics

* Try to shop in the early morning, before the salespeople have become overwhelmed and stocks depleted; you’ll be less tired then, too. * Go shopping with your list in hand or at least a game plan; this is no time to let inspiration be your guide. * Before you start, stock up on stamps, batteries, film, glasses, paper products and any other staples you might need. If you intend to give gifts from the kitchen or entertain, this is also the time to pick up the nonperishable items and beverages.

Prediger earns spot on World Cup team

By Dan Jensen

Former Camrose resident Lanette Prediger will be taking to skeleton’s second highest stage this winter.

Prediger nailed down a spot on Canada’s World Cup skeleton team with strong performances in the Canadian female skeleton championships and World Cup selection races at the Canada Olympic Park in Calgary Nov. 1 and 6.

Prediger has been trying for a World Cup spot for the past couple of years.

“So to finally make it is a thrill,” explained Prediger, who at the age of 35 is the top ranked female athlete in skeleton in Canada. “Aside from the Olympics, the World Cup is the highest level at which you can compete.”

Prediger is currently practicing at Konigsee, Germany, which will be hosting a World Cup skeleton race early in 2015.

“I am going to do a couple of Europa Cup races there (a circuit below the Intercontinental Cup) just to get some experience, since I have never been on that track before,” she said.

Prediger became interested in the sport of skeleton in 2006 – the same year that Melissa Hollingsworth won the bronze medal at the Winter Olympics – when one of her friends from medical school at the time invited her to come out to the track in Calgary to see what it was all about.

“There was a seed planted that day,” she said. “The next thing I knew I was attending a dryland camp and a school on how to slide.”

“After that I decided it was something I wanted to do more.”

Prediger feels the success Canada has had in skeleton at the Olympics, first with Hollingsworth and then with

Scott Witcher photo

Lanette Prediger nailed down a spot on Canada’s World Cup luge team with strong performances at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary at the beginning of November.

John Montgomery in Vancouver in 2010, has led to an increased interest in the sport.

“When I started the sport seemed to be pretty unknown and you had to explain to people what it was,” she said.

“Now when I talk to people about skeleton they generally know what I am talking about. It is still more popular in Germany because of the long history there (and four

tracks), but I think it is coming along here at home.”

Although skeleton has a few dangers associated with it, Prediger said those dangers aren’t as great as most people think.

“There is always potential for injury so you want to go into your racing and training very well prepared. You want to be well rested and prepared so you know what you are doing, and pay atten-

tion to what your body is telling you. If you are not feeling sharp on a certain day you might want to take that day off because if something does wrong it could go very wrong.

Generally speaking though, I think if you are careful and safe and well prepared, the risk of injury is quite low.”

Prediger knows that a lot can happen between now and the next Winter Olympics, which is why she is trying to

take one season at a time and live for the present.

“The Olympics are in the back of my mind in terms of the planning and my training, but right now I am trying to do the best as I can on the World Cup,” she said.

Prediger said it is a challenge to balance training for skeleton five days a week with her full-time job as a urgent care doctor in Calgary.

“Doing both at once has its pros and cons. The cons are that I can’t focus exclusively on one thing or the other. The pros are that I am able to put skeleton aside when I need to focus on work and focus on skeleton when I am away from the job. The truth is that I am attracted to both activities because they are high paced and require high energy.”

Prediger has received strong support from her fellow doctors and nurses.

“I usually don’t have a problem if I need to get shifts changed,” she said. “The others (at work) are very accommodating and interested in what I am doing.”

Prediger is the daughter of Diane and Gerald Prediger, both of whom were cheering her on every step of the way at the Canadian skeleton championships and the skeleton trials.

“They got to see how exciting the sport is and how much it matters to me,” said Prediger. “My dad helped me put my sled together and my mom helped with cooking of the meals, so it became a real family event. It was nice to have them around.”

Prediger’s races will be broadcast this year on TSN and streamed on FIBT television. Go to the FIBT website for more information on times and dates.

Whooping cough outbreak in Central Zone of AHS Due to a sustained increase in the number of cases of whooping cough (pertussis) confirmed in the Central Zone of Alberta Health Services (AHS), AHS has declared a pertussis outbreak in Central Zone and is offering additional immunization appointment opportunities for at-risk individuals.

A bacterial infection that causes severe coughing that lasts for weeks, pertussis can lead to pneumonia, convulsions, brain damage and even death. Infants six months of age and younger are at greatest risk for these serious complications.

Of the 107 cases of pertussis confirmed in the Central Zone in 2014 to-date, seven cases have required hospitalization.

Pertussis can be treated, most successfully if caught early; however, immunization can safely prevent disease and, if it does occur, reduce symptoms and spread of the disease.

In Alberta, pertussis immunizations are offered – free of charge – through Alberta’s routine childhood immunization program. A series of doses is recommended, starting at two months of age, and again at four, six and 18 months; at four to six years; and again in Grade 9. Following this schedule ensures protection is up-to-date. Albertans who have not received a dose of pertussis vaccine since turning 18 years of age are eligible to receive a single dose.

AHS has proactively increased the number of immunization appointments available in Central Zone to reduce infant infection rates. These appointments are specifically intended for the following Central Zone residents: infants and preschool aged children who are not up-to-date on immunizations; caregivers and close contacts of infants such as parents, grandparents, nannies, child care staff (e.g. daycare centres and family day homes); health care workers; women who are at least, or greater than, 26 weeks pregnant (Immunizing women at or after 26 weeks of pregnancy is safe, and increases protection for newborn infants by minimizing risk of infection in those around them and giv-

ing them antibodies transferred during pregnancy).

Of the above target groups, pregnant women and adult caregivers/close contacts may also be able to access immunization through their physicians.

Please call ahead to confirm availability.

Individuals uncertain of their child’s immunization history can contact their local community health centre to discuss.

Anyone who suspects they, or a family member, may be sick with pertussis should stay at home and call a family physician or Health Link Alberta, toll-free at 1-866-408-LINK (5465), before seeking medical care.

When prescribed treatment, cases should stay home from work, school or childcare

until five days of antibiotics have been completed.

Additional information about pertussis is available through AHS’ childhood immunization website, immunizealberta.ca, at: http://immunizealberta. ca/i-need-know-more/common-questions/whoopingcough.

Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

Jeep Wrangler Best-selling small SUV

Stephen Elley

By Dan Jensen

The Jeep Wrangler at Camrose Chrysler continues to stand tall as Canada’s best selling small SUV. “It was named the winner of the 2014 Canadian Black Book Best Retained Value Award,” said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Noel Skoglund. “The Wrangler Rubicon was named 4X4 of the decade by Four Wheeler magazine.”

Jeep Wrangler delivers the ultimate in traction thanks Tru-Lok front and rear electronic locking differentials which balance speed between the left and right wheels and maintain forward momentum. The Command-Trac transfer case delivers smooth and quiet part-time shift-onthe-fly operation, while the 4:1 low gear ration lets you crawl at a consistent 0.8 km/h for greater control and increased torque available at the wheels.

Every Wrangler is fortified with underbody armour that protects critical components. Stamped steel skid plates defend the fuel tank and transfer case, while a skid bar safeguards the automatic transmission oil pan. Durability and articulation come from heavy shafts, stiff housing, large

pinion bearings, and abovecentre pinion mountings.

The above-centre mounting helps reduce driveshaft joint angles for smooth and quiet operation while adding ground clearance.

Solid axles with locating arms, coil springs, track/ stabilizer bars, front steering damper and tunable monotube shock absorbers are firm at low speeds and more refined at higher speeds. The front sway bar disconnect allows you to flip a switch to disengage the sway bar when driving under 29 km/hr in 4WD-low mode, permitting the front suspension to travel up to 25 per cent farther.

Seat of adventure Wrangler’s roomy cabin adds advanced technology and fine features for comfortable travel. The Tip ‘n Slide front passenger seat on Wrangler two-door gives easy access to the second row. The available leatherwrapped steering wheel holds convenient handsfree buttons for the Electronic Vehicle Information Centre, audio and speed control. Easily clean away leftover interior mud and grime thanks to Wrangler’s removable carpet and drain plugs. Choose your multimedia centre with offerings

from Uconnect, including hands-free communication with voice command, voice text reply, navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio.

Turn your four wheels into a hard-beating boom box with the available new Alpine premium audio system with eight speakers plus subwoofer, all powered by a 552-watt amplifier.

Wrangler’s interior seats, available in either premium cloth or leatherfaced are comfort-designed to stand up to all kinds of sitting down. With plenty of cushion and support you have more stamina to keep on going.

Interior courtesy lights include illuminated front footwells and cupholders, while an available electrochromatic rearview mirror automatically darkens to help minimize the blinding glare of headlamps.

You’ll find all kinds of places to stow stuff: mesh net storage in all the doors, a locking glove compartment for keeping smaller items secure, and a lockable centre console with big bin and inner tray. A bin beneath the rear cargo area floor features a lift-out tray to safely store door and hardtop bolts. Two-door models feature a removable fold-

and-tumble rear bench seat with spring assist that easily tumbles to make room for more cargo. Four-door models come standard with a split-folding rear seat.

More power to you The award-winning 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing roars to life, delivering a best-in-class 285 hp and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. With exceptional refinement and power, the Pentastar engine matches Wrangler’s legendary brawn. It moves forward with a unique oil pan, an acoustic engine cover, optimized upper intake airflow for torque, and equal-length downpipes to assist low- and mid-range torque response.

The front-end accessory drive and high-mounted rearfacing alternator enhance water fording capability. Its pulse-width modulated 600watt fan is 100 per cent variable speed, not just high and low, plus it has a full-face condenser for better A/C performance and a stand-alone transmission cooler.

The Pentastar comes standard with an exceptionally capable six-speed manual, or you can opt for the smooth-shifting five-speed automatic. This strategically optimized automatic transmission helps maxi-

mize fuel economy while its low first-gear ratio gives Wrangler authentic Jeep brand off-road capability via a lower overall crawl ratio.

The Command Trac 4WD system employs the NV241 GII transfer case, delivering smooth and quiet part-time shift-on-the-fly operation, and comes standard on Sport and Sahara models. For those who demand ultimate capability, Wrangler Rubicon with its standard Rock-Trac 4WD system delivers radical crawling strength at low speeds for greater control over rough terrain.

Electronic Stability Control is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicle.

It utilizes hydraulic brake assist, traction control and Electronic Roll Mitigation to constantly monitor driver input against the vehicle’s actual course.

If needed, ESC automatically brakes and/or reduces engine torque, while ERM estimates the potential for wheel-lift, reducing engine power and applying brakes if needed.

Alberta Teachers’ Association president Mark Ramsankar is urging teachers not to let renewed focus on “parental rights” exert a chilling effect in their classrooms, saying that the provisions of Bill 10 should not change their current teaching practice.

“Teachers are opposed to Bill 10’s proposed retention in the Education Act of the prior notification requirements concerning teaching of religion and human sexuality which were originally introduced by Bill 44 (2009) into the Human Rights Act,” said Ramsankar. “These provisions, however, should have virtually no new impact upon teachers or teaching.

Ramsankar noted that currently, prior notification to parents is mandatory in the relatively few instances when instruction “primarily and explicitly” concerns human sexuality or religion.

“Incidental or indirect references” that might emerge in classroom discussion do not trigger this requirement.

Bill 10 provisions concerning the creation of gay– straight alliances (GSAs) will effectively leave this matter up to individual school boards and so the Bill will not change current practice.

Ramsankar noted that ATA policy established in 2005 supports the establishment of GSAs in Alberta schools, and the ATA has developed resources for teachers to help

From left to right, Lucy Ernst, Jalene Johnsen, Jane Cherry-Lemire, Janet Roy, Mayor Norm Meyer, Pam Boyson and Erin Branton cherished the community award.

Camrose has once again been recognized as a healthy community by Communities ChooseWell. We have received a Developing Healthy Polices award.

Communities ChooseWell is an energizing healthy eating and active living initiative supported by Alberta Health and managed by the Alberta Recreation and Parks Association. The goal of Communities ChooseWell Is to foster healthy Alberta citizens and communities through education, community capacity building and partnerships that support healthy eating, active living and social well-being.

Camrose was selected as this year’s recipient of the Developing Healthy Policies award because of its ongoing work in creating and/ or enhancing supportive environments in the areas of active transportation and healthy eating in community recreation facilities.

The Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition has spent much of its efforts this past year looking at ways to enhance active transportation through cycling. Together with community partners, the coalition administered a community wide survey to identify where additional bike racks are needed in the community. Additional bike racks will be purchased and installed next spring using grant funding that the coalition has secured.

The coalition is in the process of working with the City’s Community Services department to complete this initiative. There has also been great collaboration with the Walkable Camrose committee, to ensure our efforts to enhance active transportation in Camrose are aligned.

The other area of focus for the Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition this past year has been the enhancement of healthy food options at the City’s Recreation Centre. We have been working with the City’s Community Services department and will soon be working with the current vendor at the Recreation Centre to ensure healthy food options are available and affordable. Plans are in place for members of the coalition to survey user groups of the facility to provide us with further insight.

This year’s Communities ChooseWell awards banquet was held in Jasper on Oct. 23 with Lucy Ernst and Pamela Boyson accepting the award on behalf of the coalition.

SILENT SANTA DONATION

The social committee at Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre in Camrose has donated $1,000 to the Camrose Kinette Club Silent Santa program. Presenting the cheque to Christine Olson, of the Kinette Club, was social committee representative Jill Lindberg.

The Central Alberta Homeschool Choir and the Rosedale Valley Strings will be presenting a concert at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre Dec. 14.

See Amid the Winter’s Snow, a fundraising concert for the Christian Life Orphanage in Mwanza, Tanzania, will be held in Camrose on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 6 p.m. at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

The Central Alberta Homeschool Choir and the Rosedale Valley Strings, under the direction of Debbie Zepick and Naomi Delafield, respectively, will be performing Christmas and Celtic music along with some African-influenced music. The latter is in response to a group of 20 choir members visiting the Christian Life Orphanage this past June.

This was the second visit for choir members to meet the Tanzanian pastor who runs the orphanage and the boys for which he and his church care. In 2011, choir director, Debbie Zepick and her husband, Dean, and choir member Colden Palo and choir mom, Katelyn Palo, first met Pastor Patrick Mwafute and his wife, Beatrice. At the time, there were 35 former street boys in a small home.

The boys slept on threetiered bunk beds and cooked

their meals outside over an open fire.

During the past three years, the See Amid the Winter’s Snow concerts have raised enough money to build the boys a far more suitable home with space outside to play football, or as we call it in Canada, soccer. The group of 20 that visited the boys this past June was able to see the new building and play football with the boys.

Furthermore, the group attended church with them (mere hours after landing in Tanzania), worshipped with them high up on a rocky outcrop overlooking their city of Mwanza and also spent time talking with them; English and Swahili were practiced by all.

Debbie Zepick first started a choir in Camrose in the spring of 2006. Last year the Central Alberta Homeschool Choir had about 120 members which prompted Zepick to start a junior choir. This year there are about 100 choir members. Zepick has that rare quality in a teacher of being able to push her students to work hard (all of the music is memorized) while at the same time having stu-

dents who love and respect her. She’s also able to bring out musical ability in children who didn’t think they could sing, some of whom have never sung in a choir before. The music sung by these children is challenging and heartfelt. You will be moved when you hear their voices as they sing with joy.

No admission is charged however, a free will offering is taken. All donations go to the Christian Life Orphanage in Mwanza, Tanzania. Ask around and find out who has met the boys – the stories are wonderful. As cited on the website http://www.projectmwanza.com/, “Project Mwanza operates completely upon donations. We are all volunteers, and 100 per cent of donations go to the project itself. Your support is the reason that we can do what we do!”

Charitable receipts are available through Asker Lutheran Church. See projectmwanza.com for further details.

Prevent identity theft from happening during Christmas holidays As the holiday shopping season approaches, consumers are once again preparing to do a significant amount of their holiday shopping online, while many others will rely on debit and credit cards to make their in-store purchases. Though banks and online retailers have made holiday shopping easier in many ways, that convenience has also made shoppers more vulnerable to identity theft.

The hectic nature of the holidays season can make it harder for holiday shoppers to recognize if their personal information has been compromised. As a result, many men and women do not realize that they have been victimized by identity thieves until after the season has come and gone.

Identity theft affects millions of people every

year. It can victimize holiday shoppers whether they’re shopping at the nearby mall or from the comforts of home. When shopping this holiday season, shoppers should consider the following safety measures to reduce their risk of identity theft.

Confirm the legitimacy of online retailers. Many online scammers masquerade as legitimate businesses. Some may even steal logos or information from real businesses to make their scam appear more legitimate. When shopping online, stick to well-known retailers or verify with the Better Business Bureau or another watchdog organization that a Web site is operated by a reputable business.

Check for a secured browser. Reputable online

retailers encrypt their customers’ personal information. Look for a “locked” icon on the browser before entering payment information, or check to see if the URL has an “https” prefix, which means the site is secured.

Beware of credit card skimmers. Skimmers are devices that read the information on the magnetic strip of a credit or debit card.

Some are planted on ATM machines or self-service kiosks at stores. They can be hard to detect. Certain skimmers can even skim the information off a card while it is still in a wallet or purse.

Some devices can block the capture of signals from the cards. But even consumers who have such devices should still check their bank and credit card statements to determine if their cards have been skimmed.

Promptly check credit and debit balances for accuracy. Routinely check purchases against the records of credit card companies and banks. Log into online accounts to verify any purchases and report any inaccuracies immediately. Recognizing fraudulent activity early on can help consumers recover their money quickly and prevent any further problems.

Opt for credit over debit. Credit cards come with zero liability policies, which means consumers will not be held responsible for fraudulent purchases. Debit cards do not always offer the same level of protection, and debit cards linked directly to a bank account could put consumers at greater risk.

Keep receipts. Being cautious with receipts

doesn’t just facilitate potential returns. Receipts often include a lot of personal information, including the shopper’s name, signature and credit card number.

These receipts could be the doorway to identity theft.

Password protect everything. A lost smartphone or tablet could provide a thief with a lot of personal information if it is not locked down with a password. Also, always use a secured wireless signal when shopping online or accessing personal account information.

Don’t carry extraneous information in a wallet.

A lost wallet is less problematic when it isn’t filled with scores of credit cards and a social security card.

Consumers should limit the amount of personal information stored in their wallets.

POWER THROUGH AND PLOW ACROSS YOUR WORLD WITH THE MOST VERSATILE AND DURABLE VEHICLES ON THE PLANET. BECAUSE YOU CAN’T BE THE BEST WITHOUT A LINEUP THIS STRONG. EXPERIENCE IT FOR YOURSELF AT BROKER’S MARINE & SPORT.

Marc Kennedy, a member of Team Koe at the Canada Cup of Curling, shows his gold medal from the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver to students at Camrose Composite High School.

Team Koe’s third Marc Kennedy still shivers when he talks about his favourite moment at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Kennedy, who was then playing second on the powerful Kevin Martin squad, was lining up his shot at the end of a crucial contest against Great Britain when six bare chested, beer drinking fans with the Canadian flag painted on their chests started singing the national anthem at the top of their lungs.

“They were screaming the national anthem,” said Kennedy in a presentation to Camrose Composite High School students Dec. 2. “I turned to John Morris (who was the third on the team) and asked him what I should do. He said I should wait until they stopped singing, so I stood up. The rest of the crowd could kind of tell what we were waiting for and all of a sudden they started singing the anthem as well. It was at that moment that I realized that it didn’t matter if we won or we lost and that we were four Canadian athletes among a crowd that was happy to be Canadian and happy to support their Olympic representatives.

All the negative press that the Canadian athletes had received to that point about not winning medals didn’t matter. It was just about showing the world what Canada was all about.”

The feeling of Canadian pride that was shown at the curling arena soon spilled over into other Olympic venues.

“At the hockey rink the next day during the men’s game everyone started singing O Canada,” said Kennedy. “It also happened at Whistler during the ski events). Everywhere you looked people were singing the national anthem. We all instantly became so proud

of being from Canada, the best country in the entire world.”

Kennedy said his Olympic experience showed him the importance of setting high goals and going after your dreams.

“When I was 16 I saw the Olympics on TV and I knew right away that is what I wanted to do and that I was going to do whatever it took to get there.

I just really followed my heart and I am so thankful now that I did. Curling has given me everything that is wonderful in my life. I met my wife curling in Halifax, I have travelled the entire world, and I get to go to Japan to curl in two weeks for the first time. The best friends in my life are from curling and some of the best people I have ever met are from this wonderful sport.”

Kennedy said realizing your dream involves making good choices.

“You guys (students) are going to have to make hundreds of choices every single day of life. When you wake up in the morning you are going to choose what kind of attitude you have during the day. You are going to choose what to eat for breakfast, you are going to choose who your friends are.

You are going to choose how to talk to teachers and how to talk to parents. I want you to understand that every one of the choices that you make is very important for the rest of your life. I had friends who started smoking in high school and I chose not to because I knew it was going to hurt me if I was trying to get to the Olympics.”

Kennedy encouraged the students to become more active and get away from the computer or the video games.

“A healthy body really does equal a healthy mind,” he said. “If you take care of yourself and take care of

working out and staying in shape you will receive better grades and be a happier person.”

Kennedy told the students the Camrose Academy of Curling at the Camrose Curling Club on Monday afternoons is a good way for them to see if curling is a sport that they want to play.

“Curling is a great social event for friends and it is just an amazing sport that I would love for every single one of you to give a try,” he said. “I started curling when I was eight

because it was something to do with my parents.

I got to play with my friends and eventually got a little better at it. By the time I got to high school I had lots of conf idence because I was a pretty good curler.”

Kennedy said the very first feeling he experienced after winning the Olympics was one of relief.

“The Olympics themselves are a huge pressure cooker. The athletes are under extreme stress

to perform well and they have a billion people watching them from around the world. That’s especially true for curlers and hockey players, because we are almost expected to win. If we don’t get a gold medal in curling it is almost a disappointment. You feel this stress and this pressure and you want to win so badly that it is all that you can think about. When you actually win you take this big sigh of relief and the pressure just slowly starts to melt away.”

Wall of Fame inductees share wisdom with students

By Dan Jensen

CCHS Wall of Fame inductees Dan Busi, Dr. Donna Morrow, Doug Tien and Alex Oliver shared some of the nuggets of wisdom they have gleaned over the years with current students Nov. 21.

Busi, who is a Fellow of the Financial Planning Standards Council and VP of wealth management for a major insurance company, said the successful people with whom he has worked have a passion for what they do and know how to get along with others.

“They are successful because they weren’t afraid to chase their dreams.”

Busi said opportunities are not the same as luck because opportunities are created and seized.

“It is a lot of hard work to create your opportunities and it takes a lot of preparation to seize them. A contemporary example is Sidney Crosby. He doesn’t stand around and wait for the puck to bounce off him to score goals. He works hard to create the opportunities, like passing the puck and driving to the opportunities, and he has worked endlessly in practice to make sure that when the puck does arrive he knows how to shoot it in the back of the net. Life is the same. If you wait for the game to start to practice your shooting you will be hard pressed to get any goals.”

Busi said one of the biggest lessons he has learned is that we don’t regret the things we have done wrong but regret the things we didn’t do.

“When you talk to people who are nearing the end, most of what they regret was fully within their control. We can learn from other people’s regrets and sort of set our own path for success.”

Busi encouraged the students to find a role model for everything they do.

“If you are losing your way it is sometimes a lot easier to look (at the role model) and say what would that person do in this situation or what has that person done in this situation in the past,” he said. “It doesn’t have to be a celebrity. One of my greatest role models has always been my grandpa. You can look very close to home for role models.”

Tien, who is a partner in the accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP and is a deacon in the Roman Catholic Church advised students to think of faith, family and friends in their lives and put first things first.

Tien said his Christian faith provides the answers to the questions of where he came from, why he is here and where he is going.

“I come from God. I am here on earth to live a life modeled on that of His Son

Jesus Christ, who became a man and died for us so that we could be with him forever in heaven. I was born into a human family to be loved and to learn to love others.

I am a social being. I live in the world and am meant to live in relationship with others.

“Put first things first.

“I am blessed to be married to Mary. She is here today and a high school teacher herself. Our daughter is Shannon, also a graduate of CCHS.” Tien said he came to CCHS in Canada’s centennial year, when the population of Canada was 20 million, compared to 30 million today, and when the population of Camrose was just 9,000 (18,000 today).

“A couple of my favourite teachers were Lawrence Krismer and Victor Laskosky. ‘Kris’ Krismer had been in the Navy, coached bantam hockey and taught me Physics 10, 20 and 30.

Mr. Laskosky, the father of the one many of you know, taught social studies. He was known for his keen wit and lived down the alley from me until he died a few years ago. I sat on the board of St. Mary’s Hospital with him.

One time he came over and along with some other neighbours helped me reshingle our roof.”

Tien said he is grateful for the support he has received from the community over the years at his accounting business.

“It was especially gratifying to employ many other Camrose high school and college graduates and to watch them grow and develop as young professionals. Practicing in your hometown has an unexpected bonus – many of your clients are people you went to school with, along with their parents and siblings.

Tien said there have been many faculty and many students who have walked the halls of CCHS since he graduated in 1970.

“So much good work has been done to graduate thousands of students and send them off on the journey of life long learning.”

Oliver, who taught at CCHS from 1971 to 1981 and from 1984 to 2002, encouraged the students to take the boxes of darkness in our lives and, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa and Mahatma Ghandi did, turn them into amazing gifts.

“I remember Barb Tarbox, who spoke at this school.

She was one of the most wellknown anti-smoking activists in Canada; a lifelong smoker dying of brain and lung cancers whose very open and frank discussion of her illness, its cause and its consequences, propelled her to the Canadian national stage,” said Oliver. “She died at the age of 42. She had

Nadia Zeiser August 1, 1926 – December 1, 2014 Nadia Zeiser of Calgary, formerly of Camrose, passed away on Monday, December 1, 2014 at the age of 88 years.

Nadia was born on August 1, 1926 in Zupparosa, Ukraine. She was married to Anton on October 10, 1942 and had their firstborn, Anne, in April of 1944.

Throughout these hard times, Nadia was with child two more times but, due to complications, lost a son and another daughter.

In 1951, Anton, Nadia and Anne immigrated to Canada to start a new life. Times were tough with no money, nor being able even to speak the language. But they somehow managed.

In 1953, their eldest son Tom came along; in 1957, Dave; in 1963, John; and then finally Rick in 1967. So, needless to say, Nadia had her hands full. She not only had the kids to raise, but she had a farm to look after while Anton was trying to earn a living working as a butcher. She spent most of her life trying to please others, always putting her own needs behind her. As we all know, she thought the best way to someone’s heart was through their stomach.

If there are angels out there, she will become one.

She is survived by her five children, daughter Anne (Cliff) Patton; sons Tom, Dave (Linda), John (Veronica) and Rick (Barb); 11 grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her three brothers; one sister; her husband Anton; two children Peter and Eria; one grandchild Celina; and a sister-in-law Agnes.

God bless you – you will always be missed.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 from St. Francis Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Larry Pederson as celebrant. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

In loving memory of

John Ottis Kvill May 30, 1934 – December 15, 2013 The engineer was smiling, As you boarded on his train, To take you home to Heaven, Far from this mortal plain.

“Your work is done,” He kindly said, “But now it’s time to rest, A first-class seat is waiting, Reserved for the very best.

Don’t worry for your family, You won’t be far apart, The memories that you lost in life Have been packed up in their hearts.

Yes, the engineer was smiling, As he pulled the whistle cord The train was bound for Heaven, And driven by our Lord.

been handed a box full of darkness, almost literally, but turned it into a gift of speaking to as many students as possible about the irreversible effects of smoking.

“I remember as well in this school Reverend Dale Lang speaking to the students after being handed a box of darkness when his son, Jason, was killed at the

high school in Taber on April 28, 1999. He forgave his son’s killer. Dale Lang preaches the need for compassion and forgiveness and has become a well-known public speaker and anti-bullying activist.”

Oliver challenged the students to see a way to react positively to any darkness that has been thrust upon them.

“Everything, absolute-

ly everything, is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.”

Dr. Donna Morrow, who is a family physician associate in orthopedics, on medical staff at St. Mary’s Hospital, encouraged the students continually work towards their goals and not let anyone tell them that they are too young.

Hazel Greta (Lovlin) McClarty “She Lit Up Our Lives!”

On November 27, 2014, with her family at her side, Hazel Greta (Lovlin) McClarty passed away peacefully in Brooks, AB at the age of 79, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Hazel was born on June 27, 1935 on the family homestead outside of North Star, AB. She grew up to have a life of travel and adventure with the love of her life, Ernie, who predeceased her in 1996. Hazel’s travels took her to more places, seeing more sights than most, if not all, of the great explorers of known history. Hazel had a positive influence on the lives of thousands of people, as a teacher, volunteer, and as a person who believed in being a ‘doer’ not a ‘sayer’. She loved her family fiercely, cared deeply about the welfare of her students, and the many, many friends she and Ernie made all over Alberta, Nunavit, the Northwest Territories and, indeed, the world. Hazel contributed to many worthy causes, both with her time and financially. She introduced dozens of her students to her love of travel through Media Study Tours. Hazel was honored by the Alberta Teachers’ Association, receiving their highest award of excellence; at the time, the only classroom teacher to receive this honor. Hazel also received the Queen’s 50th Golden Jubilee Medal.

A love of life and laughter will be part of Hazel’s legacy, as will her joy in dressing up in wild costumes, hats, glasses and shoes, for any and all occasions and seasons. The research says that each smile given out reaches a thousand people by the end of the day and, if this is true, Hazel may have made the whole world smile at some time, which is a wonderful legacy!

Hazel was predeceased by her husband Ernie McClarty; her son Bradley; parents John and Margit Lovlin; six brothers Jarle, Ralph, Marvin (Dolly), Lloyd, Elroy (Jo) and Allan; brother-in-law Glenn Stagg; and her mother-in-law and father-in-law Albert and Evelyn McClarty. Hazel is survived by her children Jody (Doug), Kelly, Mitchell (Maggie) and Darren (Ivy); her six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren Tara and Kent and family, Carmen and Adam and family, Ashley and Dale and family, Conor and Leanne and family, Breanna and family, Kalon and Chantel. She is also survived by her sister June; brothers Joel (Joan) and Raymond (Dorothy); and her sisters-in-law Mabel, Myrtle, Laura and Arlene.

She will also be remembered by the McClarty relatives, cousins in Norway and countless friends.

At Hazel’s request, a memorial service and celebration of life will be held in Manning, AB in the summer. Goodbye, Mom. We, your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren (GGs), siblings, friends and former students, love you dearly and will always remember you.

Raymond Eugene McIsaac offers a heartfelt thank you…

While it’s been a truly difficult time for our family, it has been the amazing support from the community that has allowed us to cope and has given us peace. How blessed we are!

To attempt to list every person who has offered thoughts, prayers, words of support and encouragement, food, flowers, cards, donations, visits or the endless stream of compassionate phone calls after Ray’s passing would be near impossible. We fear we would miss someone near and dear to us.

Special thanks, however, are in order to our entire family and neighbours. To Rev. Larry Pederson, Father Don Stein and Father Len Gartner – your words of faith, the music and all aspects of your service for Ray are cherished. Pallbearers, especially honorary pallbearers, Camrose Kodiaks – all of you were dear and special friends of Ray. Kodiaks’ organization: Coach Boris Rybalka, Barry Fossen and others in the hockey club. Ray loved each and every one of you! Thank you to Norm Mayer, Damian Herle and everyone on Camrose City Council and Camrose Police Service. A huge hug to Rev. Brian Hunter for the beautiful and unforgettable eulogy at Calvary Pentecostal Church. To A-1 Catering – the lunch was terrific. To John Person, Cam Parker and the staff of Burgar Funeral Home – your professional guidance at our time of greatest need will be ever appreciated.

Thank you for keeping the memory of Ray alive. God bless you all.

Nursing students receive emergency training

University of Alberta nursing students in Camrose learned about emergency response in a mass casualty incident simulation experience on Nov. 18. Patient Cathy Teng, left, is examined by fellow students Grace Court, Kirsten Waddell and Samantha Brausen. Students had to determine the number and severity of patients and provide treatment care.

Photos by Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Mass casualty incident victim Alyssa Maripain is helped off a staircase by Camrose EMS member Brandon Erickson in an exercise to teach University of Alberta nursing students about emergency procedures at the Richard Husfloen Building in Camrose. Students learned how critical all team members must work together so that an accurate systematic physical assessment can be completed and treatment priorities can be established quickly. The training exercise provided the students with a real life incident to understand each of the roles in a trauma situation. U of A students who train in Camrose will work in rural hospitals upon completion of the two year after degree program.

Camrose EMS officers Mark Ushko and Brandon Erickson show first and second year nursing students how to apply a neck brace to patient Gavin Melcher after a barbecue exploded in a mock disaster for nursing student training.

Nursing program instructor Tara Enzenauer explains the procedures to help patient Alyssa Maripain, who lost her leg in the explosion accident, to students Ayn Grant and Cassandria Smith.

First year nursing student and disaster training patient Ying Tsay, is monitored by Cassandria Smith after he suffered a concussion in the explosion.

Be Thorough

PERSONAL DRINKING A PROBLEM? Alcoholics Anonymous, call 780-672-9903.

Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

Kodiaks acquire Chichkin

By Murray Green

Players on the Camrose Kodiaks can breathe a littler easier now that the trade deadline has come and gone.

However, the Dec. 1 trade deadline left the Kodiaks with some moves to make.

Camrose acquired Valik Chichkin, a 6’3” 200 lb defenceman from the BCHL. “It gives the Kodiaks a left shooting power play defenceman that we have been looking for,” said general manager and coach Boris Rybalka. “We needed to reduce our roster by two players so Mark Nerland was moved close to home to the Calgary Canucks for future considerations and Mackenzie Watson became a free agent.”

The Kodiaks’ roster is set until the next deadline.

“We also welcome Valik to the organization and look forward to the second half of the season. With this trade deadline complete the final trade deadline is Jan. 10 where all teams must be at 23 players on their roster and it is frozen for the remainder of the year,”said Rybalka.

Chichkin had a goal and two assists with the Prince George Spruce Kings in 17 games this season.

The Kodiaks doubled up on two teams recently. Camrose doused the Drumheller Dragon 4-2 on Nov. 29 and stopped the Sherwood Park Crusaders 2-1 on Nov. 28.

Veteran Brett Njaa scored twice and assisted on another tally to spark the Kodiaks to the victory over Drumheller.

Three goals in the third period was the difference in the game. Cam Gotaas and Cole McBride connected on the other markers for Camrose. Goalie Patrick Gora stopped 25 of 27 shots to earn the win.

Scott Ferguson and Landon Pilger supplied a goal and an assist each in the first period and that was enough to beat the Crusaders.

Gora turned away 15 of the 16 shots he faced in the game that didn’t produce a lot of offence.

The next home game for the Kodiaks is on Dec. 12 when the Drayton Valley Thunder rumble into the city.

Camrose also host Olds on Dec. 13 and Brooks on Dec. 16 during a three game home stand. All games begin at 7 p.m.

Bear facts

Nelson Gadoury of the Camrose Kodiaks attempts to hold off the Olds Grizzlys after a face-off. The Kodiaks will be holding the annual Teddy Bear Toss on Dec. 12 when the Drayton Valley Thunder visit.

The annual Teddy Bear Toss is on Friday, Dec. 12.

After the Kodiaks score their first goal, Christmas gifts and stuffed toys will be tossed onto the ice.

Bring a toy, teddy bear, or clothes and these items will be delivered to families around Camrose for Christmas.

This year marks the centenary of a remarkable, highly romanticized, yet poorly understood event of The Great War, the Christmas Truce of 1914 on the Western Front.

By December 1914, that Great War had been raging for four months. The French dead already numbered 265,000, the Belgians had lost half of their pre-war combat strength, and British Imperial deaths had surmounted 100,000 with a significant spike just beyond the horizon. The Germans, fighting on two fronts, suffered equally enormous losses; not to mention the meat-grinder in Galicia that was disgorging Imperial Austrian and Russian troops by the tens of thousands.

The war had also arrived at civilian doorsteps in brutal fashion as revealed by the German atrocities in Belgium and Northeastern France. In England, the Kaiser’s High Seas Fleet had already wreaked destruction on coastal Britain and civilians now feared something altogether new - a war from above - as Zeppelin airships roamed the skies.

On the Western Front the Germans’ initial assault had been stopped, but they managed to establish an impregnable foothold. The two sides, seemingly stymied, dug in, creating hundreds of kilometres of trenches that were on average only 250 metres apart. At Blangy-sur-Bresle the lines almost touched at a mere two metres apart. Nothing, not even grass, could survive for long in “No Man’s Land.”

The winter came early that year and snow and incessant rains created a quagmire. Trenches flooded and the misery of the mostly young men deepened. One soldier, already inured to the horror, was pictured eating his rations while a pale dead hand protruded from the muck above his shoulder.

The stench of decomposing flesh was reportedly unbearable.

As Christmas neared, earlier notions of a short and victorious war were

Second Thought

Rani Palo, History, Augustana Campus, University of Alberta

disabused and dreams of glory quashed. Nonetheless, anticipation arose that a temporary lull might ensue.

The mail was clogged with Christmas parcels to the front (some 400,000 from Britain alone) and King George V and Queen Mary sent out 700,000 cards. Pope Benedict XV appealed for a Holiday Truce and the British press expected some sort of ceasefire.

In France, Dec. 24 began with a heavy frost.

The stench abated. That evening candle-adorned Christmas trees appeared above the German lines as they sang “Stille Nacht,” “Happy Christmas!” and “Joyeux Noel!” rang out. Carols were sung. Christmas day dawned foggy but then lifted and brilliant sunshine poured down on the trenches where scant hours before shot and shell had burst. Desultory firing ceased almost completely.

Shouts echoed and a growing chorus of voices reached skyward. Gingerly, warily, soldiers climbed out...more singing, some of it nationalistic, “Marseillaise”, “Deutschland Uber Alles”...handshakes, gifts exchanged, the dead buried. Signs appeared.

“Concert over here tonight, All British troops welcome.”

Oswald Tilley of the London Rifles wrote home: “Just you think that while you were eating turkey I was

talking and shaking hands with the very men I had been trying to kill a few hours before! It was astounding!”

Ration cans and stuffed bags served as footballs. One British triumph earned the boys a fancy German beer stein.

Even a few boxing matches were staged. One German sign, touting their regimental champion, read “send over anyone, but an Irishman” (oh, those Irish!).

Of course, this couldn’t last. While interludes of fraternization between combatants were not unusual in warfare, they were generally frowned upon by military and political masters. When The New York Times broke the story a week later and London’s Daily Mirror published pictures, vested business, political, and military elites and their interests were not amused.

Crackdowns on fraternization ensued, though not entirely stamped out, as the carnage continued through three more Christmases.

Fighting resumed, casualties escalated as prolonged stalemates such as at Verdun and along the Somme consumed millions, and attitudes hardened.

Each side demonized the other. Propagandists far removed from the bloodletting honed their criminal craft. Everyone’s particular “civilization” needed saving, whatever the cost. Even religion prolonged the war as pulpits rang with apocalyptic rhetoric and that suffering was redemptive. The world’s leading Christian nations, joined belatedly by the United States in 1917, bled each other dry. That irony no longer seemed to matter.

The Christmas Truce and the millions of mostly young men who would die stood no chance. Though sublime and fascinating and endlessly romanticized, the Truce must be kept in perspective. The War in Words has just begun now that a century’s milestone has been reached; plenty of time and many events to analyze, debate, and commemorate before we reach Remembrance Day 2018.

Kiwanis accepting nominations for Top Cop

By Dan Jensen

Is there an active-duty Camrose Police Service officer who volunteers in your neighbourhood that deserves recognition?

Do you know a police officer who goes above and beyond his/her duties by serving as a volunteer?

The Camrose Kiwanis Club is seeking nominations for the 2014 Top Cop Award, which will be presented at a banquet in March of 2015.

“The club will once again this year recognize

the dedication and commitment to making our community a better place to live and work,” said Camrose Kiwanis Club member Dirk Bannister. “Many of the members of the police service are actively involved in the community outside their duties as a police officer.”

Nominees for the Camrose Kiwanis Club Top Cop award must be an active duty Camrose Police Service officer with volunteer dedication and commitment outside his or her

role and duty as an officer, and have current volunteer involvement with several years of commitment. Nominations should include details of all volunteerism and community service, outline the nominee’s role and responsibilities in the organizations along with the months or years involved with each endeavour, and any other relevant information that makes the nominee deserving of the Top Cop award.

Letters of recommendation or support should be

attached from the organizations with which they are involved.

“The selection committee will consider volunteerism beyond sporting functions and youth teams, although coaching may be one aspect of volunteer service,” said Bannister.

The Camrose Kiwanis Club presented its first Top Cop award last spring to 30-year police veteran Rick Marcinkowski for his dedication to minor sports as a coach and a mentor, his service as chairman of

the board of the Camrose Mixed Slow Pitch Association, a member of the city’s minor hockey board, volunteer at Big Valley Jamboree and a fundraiser for the DARE program.

Nomination papers for the Top Cop award may be obtained the UPS Store in Camrose at 6010-48 Avenue, or by contacting Kiwanis Club members Dirk Bannister at 780-6081417 or Weston Voytechek at 780-672-8199. The deadline for nominations is Dec. 22.

BRSD trustees accept audited statements The Battle River School Division Board of Trustees met with representatives of the accounting firm Gitzel, Krejci, Dand, Peterson on Nov. 27, to review the audited financial statements from the 2013-14 school year.

The audited statements were accepted and the Board also allocated funds to three separate reserve funds: one for Operating; one specific to capital reserves, such as the replacement of school buses; and a third for Occupational Health and Safety. The funds allocated to the OH&S reserve were made available because of the premium reduction BRSD received as a result of achieving a Certificate of Recognition (COR) from the Workers’ Compensation Board.

Student Success The Board of Trustees was pleased to hear from two students of Camrose Composite High School, who shared their experiences attending an Encounters with Canada session in Ottawa earlier this fall. The focus of the week these students attended was on Medicine and Health. A variety of other students from across BRSD have also taken advantage of the opportunity to attend these weeklong learning experiences on topics related to law, agriculture and more, which take place throughout the school year.

Welcoming new teachers Representatives of the BRSD Board of Trustees joined the Alberta Teachers Association at their induction event on November 18, welcoming 21 new teachers to the profession and to this school division.

Results Reviews Board members each spent a half day with representatives of schools in their area recently, reviewing results and initiatives at each site. There’s a lot to celebrate in Battle River!

Lobbying for reinstatement of fuel subsidy The BRSD Board of Trustees sent a letter to Education Minister Gordon Dirks this fall, requesting reinstatement of the fuel subsidy grant that used to be provided to school divisions, to offset the high cost of diesel fuel for school buses. A response was reviewed at the November 27 meeting, in which the Minister acknowledged that school divisions are concerned

about the loss of this grant, which removed more than $400,000 from the BRSD Transportation budget.

The Board also learned that, in the 2013-14 school year, BRSD school buses used about 680,000 litres of fuel.

Attendance at ASBA Fall General Meeting Members of the BRSD Board of Trustees joined their colleagues from every school division in the province during the third week of November for the annual Alberta School Boards Association Fall General Meeting. The event included a number of workshops and education sessions, as well as a presentation by the new Minister of Education, Gordon Dirks.

One of the subjects discussed at the ASBA meeting was a proposal to reduce the weighting of Grade 12 Diploma exams to 30 per cent from 50 per cent. The ASBA membership voted in favor of sending this proposal forward to Alberta Education. It is the provincial Ministry of Education which makes decisions about provincial exam weightings. In addition to school boards, the Alberta Teachers Association and the Alberta School Councils Association have made similar recommendations to the province.

Friends of Battle River awards The BRSD Board of Trustees has created the Friends of Battle River awards, which will serve as a means of saying “thanks” and providing recognition for individuals or organizations which provide support to the school division. The first nomination deadline will be March 31, 2015, with the award being presented before the end of the school year. Details will be available on the Battle River School Division website at brsd.ab.ca.

Seeking school bus drivers Alberta’s booming economy is leading to a shortage in permanent and substitute school bus drivers, both in Battle River School Division and in other school jurisdictions across the province.

If you know someone who enjoys children, has an excellent driving record and is available both in the early morning and late afternoon, why not suggest they become a bus driver?

BRSD will help with training and licensing. Contact Brenda Johnson, Director of Transportation, at 780672-6131.
