CAMROSE DENTURE CLINIC 4867-51 Street, Camrose

Katie Hauser (nee Gurr) is making some big changes in her life right now. She just got married and she’s starting a new career. Lucky for Katie she’s got some good genes to help her handle what could be a really stressful time in her life.

Affordable websites for small business – created locally

Her parents, Kevin and Ally Gurr, know what it’s like to start a new venture and get married at about the same time. They came here a quarter century ago to run the Boston Pizza store. Now Katie is working in the same plaza as a realtor with RE/MAX. She studied for her real estate license and was planning a wedding at the same time. Both achievements were flawless. She and husband Gerry are settling into their new home in Rosalind and Katie is becoming comfortable at her new desk in the RE/MAX office.

“As soon as I walked in the door I felt like I was part of a family,” says Katie.

“RE/MAX was such a natural choice for me. I couldn’t imagine working at any other brokerage. There’s always such a supportive atmosphere here. Everybody helps each other and I truly believe the clients are the ones who benefit the most.”

Katie dove into her new career with enthusiasm and founded a new partnership with fellow realtor Natasha Mayne. “From the minute she started here I knew she had a gift,” says Natasha. “I’m so grateful to partner with such an intelligent, balanced, hardworking woman like Katie. Her family has been so rooted in the community and I feel that together we’re going to accomplish great things.”

If you’re ready to talk real estate, call Katie or Natasha today and get this pair of dynamic realtors working for you!

Outdoor Community Gym becomes reality

By Murray Green

The Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) received an Alberta Blue Cross Healthy Communities Grant of $50,000 to assist in keeping local residents healthy.

Recognizing the significant role an active lifestyle plays in improving health, well-being and quality of life, the Camrose PCN will be putting the funding towards the purchase and installation of a community outdoor gym at Jubilee Park in Camrose.

Installation will begin this summer with a grand opening scheduled for early fall.

“A key focus of our community involvements at Alberta Blue Cross is promoting health and wellness in communities across Alberta,” said Brian Geislinger, vicepresident of Alberta Blue Cross. “This is a great project and we’re really pleased to support the Camrose Primary Care Network in providing innovative options to help Camrose residents keep active.”

Through its Healthy Communities Grant Program, Alberta Blue Cross is investing $1 million, over a five-year period to support and promote active living in communities across Alberta.

The PCN is working together with two key partners to bring the vision of an outdoor gym for the community to fruition.

“The Camrose PCN is very pleased to partner with the City of Camrose and the Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition,” said Stacey Strilchuk, Camrose PCN executive director. “They not only have an interest in the promotion and awareness of leading an active lifestyle to prevent and manage chronic disease, but also value working together in a way that is meaningful and relevant to our community members in their journey towards health and well-being.”

Outdoor gyms are gaining momentum, offering an alternative for people wanting to become more active and stay healthy.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster A spot was found in Jubilee Park for a new outdoor gym that will be completed next fall. From left to right, Chris Clarkson, Community Services City of Camrose, Mayor Norm Mayer, Camrose PCN executive director Stacey Strilchuk, Lucy Ernst of the Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition and PCN physician lead Dr. Chris Nichol.

“This helps to encourage people to go outdoors and we have wonderful outdoor spaces here in Camrose. It gives them another opportunity to enjoy those spaces,” said Dr. Chris Nichol. “This adds another opportunity (for fitness) and is close to walking trails. Walking trails are not for everyone.

Walking is good exercise, but there are other things to do.

This is another way to get involved in outside activities.

Health is the most important thing and the best thing you can do is be active.”

The area in Jubilee Park beside the new playground

will consist of exercise equipment to suit all needs and, instead of weights, uses one’s own body weight for resistance. The fitness equipment allows for a wide variety of flexibility, mobility, range-ofmotion, cardio and strengthening moves to provide a well-rounded workout.

The Camrose outdoor gym, which will be free for users, is going to be suitable for all ages and fitness levels, as well as accessible to all members of the community.

“Jubilee Park was selected as the location for the community outdoor gym

because of its central location and easy access the to walking, handicapped and bicycle trails,” said Chris Clarkson, in community services. “People can work out and watch their children at the playground. It is close to the university, so this is a high profile area near the picnic and washroom facilities.”

It is also within walking distance to many recreational activities/venues as well University of Alberta Augustana Campus and the city centre. The Jubilee Park area is also a popular recreation and gathering place

for people and families to meet and has a newly constructed playground, making it an ideal spot to install the equipment.

“The Camrose PCN physician and health care provider team is grateful to Alberta Blue Cross Healthy Communities Grant, the City of Camrose and the Camrose Healthy Lifestyle for their support of this project,” said Strilchuk. “Having a free, accessible and easy to use outdoor community gym for our residents is important as we continue to work with our partners in encouraging active and healthy lifestyles.”

Camrose Regional Trade Show at CRE March 20 to 22

By Dan Jensen

The latest and greatest innovations, designs and ideas in consumer products and services will be on display when the 2015 Camrose Regional Trade Show comes to the Camrose Regional Exhibition March 20 to 22.

“There’s going to be a lot of variety with everything from jewelry and clothing to items for your home renovation projects,” said CRE major event marketing manager Marilyn Lee. The Camrose Regional Trade Show has always

held its own with other trade shows in the province.

“Our exhibitors have given us a lot of compliments on the way we run things,” explained trade show committee chair Dwayne Roth, adding the total number of exhibitors is up this year over last.

“Many of them come back year after year and spread the word to others about the good things that we have to offer.”

Most of the trade show exhibitors are from the Camrose trading area and beyond.

“The weather is unpredictable in March and that can sometimes affect show attendance,” said Lee. A new feature of the trade show this year will be a Marlin Travel Camrose Travel Expo in the dining hall area of the exhibition on the Saturday (March 21).

“It’s going to be an all day information event with 19 suppliers from right across Canada coming in to provide information on all the different destinations around the world,” said Glenda Beagle, of Marlin Travel. “We will

have people there talking about river cruises, ocean cruises, guided vacations, different travel styles, travel insurance and basically anything else you need to know about travel.”

The expo will also feature draws for more than $2,000 worth of prizes, including travel gift certificates.

“It’s going to be an exciting day,” said Beagle.

“There hasn’t really been anything done in Camrose like this, at least to this magnitude.”

The Camrose Regional Trade Show should have

something of interest to all ages.

“We won’t be having any entertainment, but we will be bringing back the Thistle Hill Petting Zoo, which is always a big attraction with the kids,” said Lee. A special bonus will be the opportunity to enter daily draws for prizes supplied by the exhibitors.

The Camrose Regional Exhibition will be charging a small admission fee to anyone 12 years of age and over to assist with maintenance and capital costs.

MAXIMUM

GOLF into Swing Indoor g Sprin School Golf

Indoor Training Program 2015 In

Maximum Golf is a group-based golf training and conditioning program meant to prepare golfers for the season ahead and increase one’s ability to swing more efficiently through the ball. This program is based on the repetition of a concise set of drills that allow you to practice without requiring the use of a golf ball. These drills teach you how to swing more efficiently and with better swing mechanics. Feeling is very important to this teaching method, proven for over 30 years.

In 2015, this program will be taught in a two-week (4 sessions) condensed format. Given that people live very busy lifestyles, coupled with others who like to take a winter vacation, we understand that making a commitment to a program which lasts several weeks is too difficult. The condensed format offers a wealth of skills, without being too difficult to fit into one’s schedule. To avoid disappointment, you are encouraged to book early in this extremely popular program.

REFLECTIONS

Letters to the Editor

by Bonnie Hutchinson The best things in life A few weeks ago I wrote about “water in the desert,” and at the end asked, “So what’s water in your desert?

What creates lushness in your life? What helps you flourish and grow, even in challenging circumstances?

I was genuinely curious about what helps people flourish and so I asked the question on my Bonnie Hutchinson Enterprises Facebook page. Here’s what some people said. Hope you enjoy these comments as much as I did. *** Water in my desert: hanging around with fabulously inspiring people. Being with my children and grandchildren.

A nice piece of chocolate. An early night. Taking a day to take care of myself. A wonderful cool change after a stinking hot day. *** Let’s see ... in the past 24 hours: receiving an amazing email from a client thanking me, my husband surprising me with dinner, the perfect song coming on iTunes at the perfect time and seeing my driveway for the first time in over a month as snow finally melts. *** I started my half marathon training yesterday. I love looking at the training plan and know that all I need to do is follow it and then I can run a great half. *** Water in my desert ... enjoying time with people who “get” me; opening my eyes in the morning and seeing a beautiful view right there outside my window; a warm blanket and a good book ... *** I heard a song on the radio I loved but I didn’t recognize. I managed to press record button on my iPhone.

At home I played the first few notes to my BF. It turns out he has a super power of being able to identify a song in record breaking time! Then I went to iTunes and bought the song so I can listen to it every time I go running. All these little things felt like funny sparkly water!! *** Sometimes it is the simplest things that nourish and bring me back to where I need to be. It is a piece of music, a kind comment, a warm cat on my lap. I purposefully plan many conditions to create water, but sometimes to be still and delight in what’s all around me links me to the universe too. *** I think pushing myself harder every time I work out makes my day better. I feel more empowered each time. I find that having the exact person that crossed your mind a few days ago then reaches out and contacts you is a gift. :) Makes my day bright. *** The past 24 hours, the water in my desert has been when the perfect song came on Pandora during what was a difficult part of my day and I forgot the worries and danced around my kitchen. Nailing the html coding on the first try when I thought it was going to take many more than that. Capping off a long day with a delicious barbecue chicken pizza (semi-homemade). *** In the last 24 hours, I realized that I could set the online mindfulness clock to ring every hour, and this would be my cue to dance to at least one song on my iPod. What a delightful way to get my body more active – way better than the treadmill for me. I also get my desert watered every time I connect with my dear soul friends.

So nurturing! *** Warm breeze, blue sky, the gold prairie and the dirt road that made me want to get on a bike. I was walking along the little dirt road with the hard dirt, and the truck tracks with their little dips and rises were just right for a bicycle. *** Those comments were water in the desert! Here’s what I noticed: physical movement; music; connection with people; beauty. Not one person mentioned anything expensive!

Did you look in the mirror today?

Premier Jim Prentice blames Alberta’s sorry, slumping economy on you, your parents, your kids; in fact, on almost all Albertans.

But the economic mess the Conservative government is in is not due, according to him, to Conservative fiscal mismanagement, Conservative poor economic decisions, failure to maintain the Heritage Trust Fund, collecting a fair share of oil royalties, collecting corporate taxes or the unfair flat tax, or the failure to diversify the economy. Oh no! It is the fault of Albertans, and if you are one of those responsible for Alberta’s worst economic circumstances in 50 years just look in the mirror, for that is the person Jim Prentice feels is responsible.

NDP leader Rachel Notley has responded that when Albertans look in the mirror they see someone who is working hard to make ends meet, someone who does not want their loved ones suffering as they wait to be seen for unending hours in an emergency room, someone who

cares that his or her kids get a quality education and have a bright future in front of them. If rich Mr. Prentice looked in the mirror he would see a leader who is telling Albertans they will pay more to get less, while giving their money away in tax breaks to profitable foreign owned corporations and wealthy Albertans. He would see a leader who insists Albertans have enjoyed the “best of everything,” while turning a blind eye to our bursting emergency rooms, overcrowded schools and seniors waiting for a long-term bed. Notley thinks if Prentice was honest he would take a long look at the PC record and realize he cannot blame hard-working Albertans for PC mistakes and failures.

Prentice does blame Albertans and he will punish us with a possible provincial sales tax, bring back health care premiums, and add a five cent per litre tax on gasoline. He will not tax the under taxed corporations or rich big shots.

It is time for a New Democrat government with new energy, new vision, fiscally responsible leadership for a prosperous Alberta. If we had a progressive tax we would garner $2 billion per year, if we raised corporate taxes the province would earn another $2 billion and even a slight increase to royalty rates would add $3 billion to the budget.

Bruce Hinkley Wetaskiwin-Camrose New Democrat candidate Answers for a Millionaire

So I thought I would write this little note with some practical suggestions

for fixing the fiscal problems we find ourselves in.

1. In “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” you can phone a friend to give you ideas so I have included my phone number because I have lots of ideas 780-374-2463.

2. Or you could do the “Survivor” series and your plethora of executives/ administrators could vote one of their own off the cruise ship PC each week until the budget is balanced.

3. Or we could start our own version of the Trump series the “Apprentice.” Those in executive positions that don’t perform are out. I mean like only one at a time.

4. The reduction of a bloated management level could be reduced to levels similar to those found in the private sector from their three workers to every manager to more of a 12 workers for every manager.

5. You could take and actually hold your management accountable; if they are not performing they are fired. This would include their thoughtless roaming charges.

6. Institute a closed design to build process for capital projects where any costs over runs are eaten by the company.

7. Corporate welfare – well your friends in the oil patch will love you, but picking losers is a known budget wrecker. So stop that!

In Alberta we pay people to store carbon underground while in Saskatchewan they pay for the carbon. Why? Rob Johnson Daysland AB

Spring Has Arrived and with it the new line-up from Outdoors RV Mfg!

www.parkviewrv.ca

Huge 10,000 sq. ft. indoor showroom !

Parkview RV Centre awarded top volume sales in Canada Parkview RV Centre has been an icon on the famous auto-mile in Wetaskiwin since 1977. As a family owned and operated business, Parkview takes pride in selling quality products and providing excellent customer service. In the accompanying picture, Roger Thompson (owner) and his son Jason Thompson (manager) are being presented with awards from Outdoors RV Mfg. representative Robin Larsen for largest volume sales for Wind River and Black Stone travel trailers, as well as Glacier Peak fi fth wheels.

“It is quite an accomplishment to be awarded top volume dealer in Canada for not just one brand, but for the two highest end travel trailers and top end fi fth wheel built by Outdoors. Outdoors RV Manufacturing has six different brands, with even their entry level ‘Black Rock’ brand being considered a better built trailer than most other manufacturer’s top end brands. It shows that our customers are after high end quality and they know where to find it, along with the high level of customer service that should accompany this type of product. Repeat and referral business is everything for us so it is

very important that our customers are extremely satisfied with the product they have purchased as well as with the level of service they receive during and after the sale,” stated General Manager Jason Thompson. He goes on to say, “The Outdoors product has been such a perfect fit for us and our customers.

The focus on making an RV for our climate only makes sense and Outdoors does this because they are based out of La Grande, Oregon, only supplying dealers in the Northwestern US and Western Canada. Most other manufacturers don’t have their majority of market share in regions with our type of climate; most others are built in Indianna and they simply don’t have the type of product that should be built for up here. Outdoors RV products have more insulation (double in most cases), thicker walls, thermal pane windows, stronger custom chassis, heavier axles with shock absorber suspension, larger water capacities etc., things that true outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate in an RV to get them further out into the wilderness and stay longer any time of the year, all this while being spoiled with the comforts of a high end

luxury home. They are a truly unique product and have features and construction that is not common in the RV market today.”

Parkview RV would like to thank its many customers who have supported them this past year to make such an accomplishment possible.

Funds flow for sprinkler system upgrades Seniors in 105 housing and continuing care facilities will be more secure in their homes thanks to fire and safety system upgrades.

The Government of Alberta will fund the upgrades in 75 government-owned or supported seniors’ lodges during the next three years, improving 4,700 units.

The funding will also upgrade all 1,750 government owned or supported continuing care spaces in 30 facilities that currently do not have sprinklers.

“Our government remains committed to protecting our most vulnerable citizens, including seniors,” said Jeff Johnson, Minister of Seniors.

“Thanks to the vision and direction set by Premier Jim Prentice, we’re taking action today to ensure Alberta’s seniors feel more secure in their homes.”

Alberta Senior Citizens Housing Association president Doug Mills said ASCHA is very pleased that, in a period of fiscal restraint, seniors’ safety remains a top priority.

“It is important to protect our most vulnerable and ASCHA, its members and the province are committed to this goal.”

The Ministry of Seniors is directing $80 million to housing management bodies and continuing care operators to begin making immediate upgrades to the facilities that will improve nearly 6,500 units.

Projects were selected based on property and operations assessments completed by housing management bodies and Alberta Health Services, with priority given to facilities presenting the biggest safety risks.

This funding primarily comes from the financial reserves of the Alberta Social Housing Corporation. This funding is in addition to previously allocated investments for replacement of older facilities and capital improvements to existing seniors’ accommodations.

Many of the 24,000 government-owned and supported seniors’ apartment and lodge units in Alberta were built prior to 1990, before fire sprinklers became mandatory under fire and building safety codes.

Camrose police called to mediate a dispute March 12

A neighbour called advising of a disturbance next door involving two women. Police attended and mediated a verbal dispute between a 25-year-old woman and a 57-year-old woman.

March 11

A woman advised police that sometime over the past two days her license plate was stolen off of her vehicle in a downtown parking lot.

Police approached a 35-year-old year old man inside of a downtown parking lot. Checks on the man revealed he had numerous outstanding warrants for his arrest. The man was arrested and during a search two baggies of methamphetamine were located. The man was charged under the controlled drugs and substances act.

March 9

A 36-year-old male attended the police station and reported that he had been assaulted at a licensed premise the previous evening. Police have opened an investigation into this matter.

In the early morning hours, police were called to attend a residence for a disturbance. A 27-year-old Camrose resident was identified as one of the involved parties and police subsequently entered into a controlled drug and substances investigation. The male was found in possession of a quantity of MDMA. He was charged for possessing a controlled substance and released to attend a future court date.

March 7

While on patrol, police conducted a traffic stop as a result of traffic violation. The driver was noted to be under the influence of alcohol. The 34-year-old Camrose driver was placed under arrest for impaired driving and provided breath samples which were above the legal limit. He was later released on charges of impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over the legal limit.

Report suggests City can do more with child care spaces than they have available,” said Holliston. “That (availability) is really a moving target because you have parttime and full-time.”

By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose can assist more young families by increasing the income threshold of the recreation access subsidy and continuing to support services like Camrose Children’s Centre and the CDSS Out of School Care program says a report on child care presented to City council by Social Development committee chair Margaret Holliston Feb. 2.

“We don’t want to put any more budgetary pressure on the city but potentially we might want to take a closer look at that recreation access subsidy (which offsets summer child care costs at the Aquatic Centre and Chuck MacLean Arts Centre day camps and is based on the Low Income Cut Off or LICO),” said Holliston.

The report encouraged the City to recognize the gender, income and social interconnections in accessing and maintaining adequate and comfortable child care, and to back a national strategy on child care.

“If there is a national conversation about the

child care strategy, perhaps at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) level or even the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association level, that is something we could potentially participate in,” said Holliston.

Waiting lists The report showed the cost of child care can range from $6 per hour per child for the CDSS Out of School Care (OSCAR)

program to $850 per child per month, and that of the six licenced child care services in Camrose (BRSD Learning Together, OSCAR, Camrose Children’s Centre, Camrose Family Day Homes, Gardner Kids Campus Day Care and First Steps Day Care), five have fairly long wait lists.

“Some of the programs have filled more

Types of care The report also showed that 36 per cent of parents who were surveyed in October of 2014 using Survey Monkey indicated they used grandparents or other adult relatives in their home for their child care, compared to 22.5 per cent for the CDSS OSCAR program, 20.6 per cent for a neighbour or friend in their home, 17.5 per cent for an unlicenced day home and 15.7 per cent for Gardner College Kids Campus Day Care.

Over 13 per cent said they used summer day camp programs at the Aquatic Centre or Chuck MacLean Centre, and over 12 per cent said they used a Camrose Family Day Home.

Just over 15 per cent of parents surveyed for the report said they access the provincial subsidy that goes to families with an annual income of $50,000 or less. Over half (50.3 per cent) of families said they don’t quality for the

subsidy because their income is too high, while 22.5 per cent of families said they don’t qualify because they don’t use licenced care.

“We need to work with the government to increase the threshold,” said Holliston.

Thirteen per cent of parents said child care is far too expensive, 34 per cent said it is somewhat expensive, 35 per cent said it is somewhat affordable and 18 per cent said it is very affordable.

About 49 per cent of parents said the current child care meets their family’s needs, compared to 38 per cent who said it answered their needs very well and 13 per cent who said it did not meet their needs very well.

Severa l pa rents reported help from employers: either a discount if they work for a child care provider or a rebate /subsidy from other employers (infrequently reported).

Stressful One parent said that finding child care for her daughter was one of the most stressful situations she had ever encountered.

Child care Continued from page 14

“I was on a waiting list for the Children’s Centre, but space never became available. We visited many private day homes but many I would not feel comfortable leaving my child with. Limited f lexibility was another issue...we didn’t want to pay for full-time care when we only needed care two to three times a week. We ended up having a friend of a friend watch (her) and we are extremely grateful to have found someone so caring and who will accommodate our schedules.”

Eighty-two per cent of the survey respondents represented twoparent households, 9.5 per cent represented mixed adult households such as an extended family, and 8.53 per cent of survey respondents represented lone-parent households headed by mothers.

There were no responses from lone-parent households headed by fathers.

Augustana student The report on child care was prepared by Aug usta na student Heather Casselman as part of her Community Service Learning requirements.

“Heather’s particular interest in exploring child care from several angles, including gender, happily coincided with the Social Development committee’s interest in gathering more information about these particular areas,” said Holliston.

Child care, affordable housing and transportation were identified as the three priority areas for Camrose in a Social Development committee Poverty Reduction Research Report presented to City council in the spring of 2014.

Davidson shines with Slow Leaves

4702A-65 Street, Camrose • Phone 780-679-6811 www.marlintravelcamrose.com

By Murray Green

Winnipeg’s Grant Davidson and his talent is expressed through his band Slow Leaves that will be playing at the Bailey Theatre at 8 p.m. on March 21 in the Rose City Roots Music Society concert series.

The roots, blues and folk singer is sharing his songs, genuine and honest nature, with audiences in Western Canada during a spring tour.

Davidson’s warm and effortless voice has been compared to the likes of Doug Paisley, Brian Ferry and JJ Cale.

The 2014 album Beauty is so Common is refreshing and familiar from the first time you listen to it.

It reminds you of California country-folk from the past with a keen sense of pop harmony and an arrangement that sounds vital and rich in melody.

Slow Leaves consists of band members Davidson on guitar and vocals; Jason Tait on drums; Julie Penner on strings; and Greg Smith on bass.

Davidson wasted little time in bringing his second album in two years to the release point. Second Chances EP came out in 2013.

Songs receiving the most attention have been “Neighborhood Watch” and “Everybody Wants to Be In Love” on his second album, and “Life Of A Better Man” and “Second Chances” on the first album.

BOMAN’S Radiator Shop

Est. 1960

Augustana drama students will tell the story of a father’s search for a long estranged son and the lessons he learns about life and love in their production of Tony Kushner’s The Illusion March 18 to 21.

“The play takes the relationships that existed between men and women and their parents in the 16th century and looks at them through a contemporary lens,” said Augustana assistant professor of drama and play director Kevin Sutley. “It shows that many of the things that were common at that time are still prevalent today.”

The play was chosen to coincide with Augustana’s 2014-15 theme, Illusion.

“It just seemed that it would be the perfect fit,” said Sutley, who is a big fan of Kushner, an American playwright. “It is loosely based on a French neo-classical play by Pierre Corneille who lived in the 1600s.”

Seeking news of his son, Pridament, visits a sorcerer, who conjures three episodes from the young man’s life. Inexplicably, each scene finds the boy in a slightly different world, where names change and allegiances shift.

Augustana drama students started working on the actual staging of the play and physical setup in January after a fall term that saw them have classroom discussions about the meaning and different themes.

“There are 18 first to fourth year students involved, 14 of whom are actors and four of whom are crew members,” said Sutley. “It is a challenging play to do because of the different parts that are involved. There are some very needy, emotional roles, but there are also a lot of comic roles, and some of the actors have to change characters.”

The play will be staged in the Augustana Theatre Centre starting at 7:30 p.m. all four days. Tickets may be purchased at the door beginning at 7 p.m.

“This is our home and our building,” said Sutley.

“It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that you find at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre, but it has its own charms, is very intimate, and is a nice warm space.

We are having discussions about doing a show over there next year, but for now this is where we are going to stay.”

By Murray Green

ChurchMice Players will be presenting the exciting story of The Three Musketeers at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre from March 26 to 29.

The local theatre company will be using the Peter Raby version based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas for five shows.

“This version focuses more on the Milady plot line instead of the Cardinal,” explained director and production manager Mike Hicks. “We have 28 characters, which is the largest non-musical play that we have ever done that I am aware of.”

It is a more rousing and exciting version of the classic then the original. “We are treating it like a musical because of the choreography of the swords scenes that we have worked extremely hard at since mid-September,” Hicks said. “It has exceeded my expectations. A sword fight has to be at a certain level and they went above and beyond.”

Until Red brings roots, rock sound

By Murray Green

The Brandon, Manitoba band Until Red will be sharing its roots and rock music with local fans on March 25 at the Alice Hotel.

“An Until Red show will leave your face feeling like you’ve laughed for a lifetime, your heart feeling lifted and your circle of friends feeling three dudes bigger,” said drummer Roman Clarke. “We are excited to play in Camrose.”

The band effortlessly weaves story-telling, deep grooves, audience interaction, sweet solos and comedy into a show you won’t forget.

Until Red’s members have played together since they were 14 years old. They spend a lot of time touring Western Canada in a van, making fans and friends wherever they go. Their goal is first and foremost to entertain and they are eager to please with every show.

The three band members are full-time musicians, who are devoting all of their energy to Until Red. They have already brought their distinctly Manitoban rootsrock to the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Brandon Folk Festival, Harvest Sun Festival, Dauphin Countryfest, Rockin’ the Fields of Minnedosa, and have played about 90 shows since their January 2014 “Johanna” demo release.

The band consists of Liam Duncan on bass, keyboards and vocals; Dylan MacDonald on guitar and vocals; and Clarke on drums and vocals.

Money donated to Kidney Foundation put to good use

By Dan Jensen

The money you donate to the Kidney Foundation when a canvasser comes to your door this spring will be put to good use.

“Eighty per cent of every dollar we receive goes towards the public net benefit,” explained Kidney Foundation of Alberta and the Northwest Territories executive director Flavia Robles at a launch of the Camrose Kidney Foundation’s 2015 fundraising campaign Feb. 21. “Your support helps people in this community but it goes far beyond that.”

The Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Research Scientist Core Education and National Training Program (KRESCENT) is training an increased number of highly skilled scientists in the hope of reducing end-stage renal disease and developing new treatments to improve the health of Canadians affected by kidney disease. The program is unique in that participants are selected from all themes relevant to kidney research (biomedical, clinical, health services, social, cultural, environmental and population health) and from multiple disciplines.

The curriculum is focused on kidney research themes and is meant to complement any course work/ degree programs in design methodology and other core content areas which might be available with participating institutions.

“The research that is being done is patient oriented,” said Robles. “The

Kidney Foundation of Alberta and the Northwest Territories executive director Flavia Robles, left, Kidney Foundation of Alberta and the Northwest Territories Kidney Care coordinator Molly Diamond, second from right, and Camrose Kidney Foundation volunteer Erhard Pinno, right, accepted cheques from, left to right, Doug Zarski, Ken Drever, Norm Mayer and Viola Throndson at the launch of the Kidney Campaign Feb. 21.

researchers are directly listening to the patients, which is important because 87 per cent of them are on dialysis.”

Leading causes Diabetes and high blood pressure are the two leading risk factors for kidney disease, which affects one in every ten Canadians.

“The number of Canadians who are receiving treatment for kidney failure has tripled in 20 years and 15 people are told every day that their kidneys have failed,” said Robles. “Those numbers are staggering as we try to build awareness because, sadly, there are no symptoms for kidney disease until they are at stage four, when it is get yourself to the hospital now.

The Kidney Foundation’s screening programs that are offered with the assistance of corporate sponsors like CN stress the importance of people taking responsibility for their own health.

“People realize (at the screenings) the significant impact that taking good care of themselves can have,” said Robles. “People don’t realize how much their life would change if they had kidney disease.”

Exercise The Kidney Foundation is supporting a new exercise program for those who are receiving dialysis.

“It lets patients do exercise for the first two hours they are on dialysis,” said Robles. “We (Kidney Foundation) provide the equipment, the weights

and the peddlers that they can use to improve their overall health. Studies have shown that if they are able to get exercise they suffer less from the other ailments that they might have. You think they might be more tired but actually they wind up getting energized.”

The foundation is also supporting those living with kidney disease by providing videos, peer support, short term financial assistance when all other options have been exhausted, bursaries so they can pursue their education and manuals that cover such topics as the function of the kidney, types of kidney disease and treatment options.

More awareness The Kidney Foundation

is encouraging sports teams and other organizations to find creative new ways of increasing the awareness of the importance of organ donation.

“We need to increase the number of kidney organ donors because 80 per cent of the current 4,500 Canadians who are on the transplant waiting list are waiting for kidneys,” said Robles. “The fact that 37 per cent of people who were on kidney transplant waiting lists died before receiving a new kidney is not acceptable.

We want to mobilize voices and create action. Why is it that I have to wait for four years, which is the current waiting time, for my kidney? We sadly accept this.

People are told they have to wait.”

Mike Klug starting petition for dialysis lab in Camrose

By Dan Jensen

Mike Klug is seeking support for a petition requesting the provincial government to establish a kidney dialysis lab in Camrose.

“I know there isn’t any space available at the hospital, but there are other buildings in this town that could probably be used,” said Klug at launch of the Camrose Kidney Foundation’s 2015 fundraising campaign Feb. 21. “We need a lab in the big towns like Camrose.

As it stands now, Camrosians who need dialysis have the option of travelling to labs in either Wetaskiwin or Stettler.

The lab in Stettler has six chairs, one of which is in a separate room for those who have infections, while the one in Wetaskiwin has 12, two of which are in isolation.

Klug was diagnosed with kidney disease in August and started his

Mike Klug

dialysis treatments on Sept. 12.

“I was in and out of hospital for four months,”

he said. “I was rushed up to the University of Alberta just before Thanksgiving because they found I

had bacteria in my blood. I started receiving my treatments in Stettler and on Jan. 7, I was transferred to Wetaskiwin.”

Klug is sympathetic towards others who have kidney disease.

“It is hard on the system,” he said. “You have to watch what you are drinking, watch what you are eating and get as much exercise as you can. I was 472 pounds before I had heart surgery in 2012 but now at this point I am 310.”

Klug said he is just trying to live one day at a time.

“I have friends and lots of cousins that are helping me. I am glad I have their support.”

Klug’s journey is similar yet different to that of Viola Throndson, whose kidneys failed in 2004 and whose husband, Allan, spent six and a half years on dialysis before passing away a year ago.

“I was diagnosed with

Goodpature’s syndrome, a rare illness that results when the immune system attacks an organ,” said Throndson. “I was on dialysis for 16 months and then was given a life-saving kidney from my daughterin-law, Janice. My three children were unable to give me a kidney, so my two son-in-laws, as well as Janice offered. I was stunned at such gestures.

I even said to my children, ‘are you okay with this?’

They all said ‘yes.’ ” Throndson said living with kidney disease means a balanced diet, regular exercise, good blood pressure and taking medications as prescribed.

“It is a constant balance of physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being.”

Throndson is grateful for all the good work the Kidney Foundation has done over the years and the continuing advances that are being made today.

ChurchMice Players use whole stage with action Continued from page 18

Most people are familiar with the renowned adventures of D’Artagnan and his three fellow musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, as they fight for both king and country. They are easily side tracked by wine, women and song.

“Milady is hired by the Cardinal to disrupt certain events of the Three Musketeers.

As the plot rolls out Milady is discovered to be Athos’ wife.

Athos found out that she was a criminal and bound by law by the king to be hung,” explained Hicks. “She was saved and went into hiding, so Athos knows who she is. It involves a lot of emotional aspects.”

Hicks plays the part of Lord de Winter, Milady’s former brother-in-law, who had no idea of her past and present crimes. “I find out she killed my brother,” he said The show involves constant action included with its brilliant plots of the devious trickery of Cardinal Richelieu and Milady de Winter; the sad plight of the beauteous Constance Bonacieux; attempted assassinations; plots and counterplots; and the final triumph of virtue over the forces of evil.

The fast paced movement from various scenes offers little staging and the play captures all the excitement of the original production.

“I’ve been involved with ChurchMice for 20ish years and we’ve done 18 musicals.

Musicals are great for the community, just not necessarily for me. I wanted to do something more action exciting, something grand and epic. I wanted more action and to attract more men to our audience. I hope by doing The Three Musketeers that we broaden our audience,” added Hicks.

“Central Agencies and McTavish Deliveries are our major sponsors and they helped us out with a donation to assist us in bringing this play to the local stage. We are so excited when asked about moving to a new location for the play. That is an amazing venue. It is another reason for doing this show. We have more room for fight scenes and use it to the fullest capacity.

We will still use the Norsemen

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Augustana Vikings goalie Joel Danyluk is run by a Red Deer player during the first round of ACAC playoff action.

By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings defeated the Red Deer K ings in two straight f irst round playoff games, 3-1 and 4-0, March 6 and 7.

“W hoever we faced, we knew it would be a good challenge and prepare us for the next round,” said forward Alex Rodgers. “It wasn’t easy by any means (the wins over Red Deer). Danyluk (goalie Joel) played well for us and gave us some conf idence.”

Augustana earned the right to meet the SAIT Trojans in the semif inals of the ACAC that took place March 13 to 15.

In the f irst game against Red Deer, Connor McLaughlin, Dane Bonish and Corey Kosloski collected single markers to lead the offence.

However, it was goalie Joel Danyluk who was the star of the game as he stopped 38 of 39 shots at the EnCana Arena.

“We played a better game on Saturday and it showed. We have to give Danyluk the credit for giving us the support we needed,” said Rodgers.

Augustana’s defensive system and Danyluk then improved on that with a 46 save performance to earn a shut out to wrap up the series in Penhold.

Dylan Coupal, Kosloski, Tanner Korchinski and Bonish provided the tallies that were enough to send the Vikings into the next round of playoffs.

The next challenge against SA IT will be tougher.

“I think we have improved a lot since we last met them. We had some key guys that were hurt.

The last six games we have been playing pretty solid,” said Rodgers. “We know they are a bigger team that likes to throw the body around. We can match that and we will be ready. We have momentum and we are excited for the challenge. We will use our depth to our advantage.”

Men’s volleyball The Augustana Vikings me n’s volleyball team captured the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference crown to advance to Charlottetown, PEI for nationals March 11 to 14.

Augustana won the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference championships by beating Red Deer in f ive games on Feb. 26 to 28.

Heading into the Canadian Collegiate Athletic A ssociation nationals the Vikings were ranked second in the country, while Red Deer was fourth. The Camosun Chargers were f irst, Niagara K nights were third, St. Clair Saints were f ifth, St. Thomas Tommies were sixth, Titans de Limoilou were seventh and the host Holland Hurricanes were eighth.

The Vikings played Limoilou in the opening match at nationals on March 12 and lost three straight games to end hopes of collecting a gold or silver medal.

Cole McCartney, Thomas Regier, Luke Ryan and Devin Varga all made the men’s North Allconference Team.

Women’s basketball sixth

By Murray Green

In loving memory of

The Augustana women’s basketball team placed sixth in the ACAC playoffs with a 1-2 record.

The Vikings dropped a 54-44 score to SAIT in the opening game at NAIT on March 5. Sydney Purdy was the only player on the Vikings to hit double digits with 10 points.

Talia Dale picked up the offence with 12 points in the second game as the Vikings won 67-55 over the St. Mary’s Lightning. Purdy chipped in with 10 points.

In the battle for fifth place, the home team NAIT Ooks emerged on top of a 57-46 score. Purdy scored nine points for the Vikings.

Augustana went into the playoffs without all-star Richelle Wagner. She was named to the women’s north First Team A-conference Team. Sydney Purdy made the second team as an all-star. Josh Nicol was named to the second team on the men’s side.

Joyce Lynn Odovichuc of Camrose passed away peacefully on March 10, 2015, at the age of 68 years.

It gives her family great comfort to know that Joyce was greeted in Heaven by her parents and her daughter, Brenda. Joyce was born to Otto and Olga Bendfeld on November 15, 1946, and has an older sister Carol. Joyce grew up in Forestburg and ventured to Edmonton at the age of 17 to complete her Nursing Aide education.

In 1969, Joyce married her childhood friend and the love of her life, George Odovichuc. The happy couple settled in Camrose.

Joyce dedicated her career to St. Mary’s Hospital. She started in the hospital’s nursery and later worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse and eventually as a Unit Clerk. To further highlight her love for babies and children, Joyce and George had four daughters. Joyce had her hands full, but she enjoyed being busy.

Joyce was always organized and prepared. She took cleaning to a whole new level, which her children lovingly referred to as “Joyce Clean.” She followed George across Canada and into the States to his slo-pitch tournaments as his #1 fan. She loved her grandchildren deeply, and enjoyed spending time with them, often having them for sleepovers.

Joyce will forever be remembered as a patient and positive person. She always had a smile on her face and was kind to everyone she met. She truly lived up to her name; she put the “joy” in Joyce. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband George Odovichuc; her daughters Kari Mykitiuk (Darren Mann), Jodi (Jason) Hilmoe, Tara (Nathan) Drennan; son-in-law Carman (Kacy) Wilson; her grandchildren Alexandra, Rykan, Jacob, Katie, and her special kids Sarah and Gracie.

“Celebrate my life, do not mourn my passing, death is a part of life.”

A Celebration of Joyce’s Life was held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, March 14, 2015 from Calvary Pentecostal Church with Rev. Bill Harder officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to KidSport Camrose (6010-48 Avenue, Suite 318, Camrose, AB T4V 0K3), St. Mary’s Hospital, or to the Canadian Cancer Foundation. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Grant Joseph Hetzner November 26, 1949 – March 7, 2015 Peacefully in his sleep, Grant went home to his heavenly Father on Saturday, March 7, 2015.

Grant was born on November 26, 1949 in Daysland, AB to George and Melba Hetzner. He grew up and went to school in Bawlf, AB, then attended Vermilion College for agriculture. After graduating from college, Grant returned home to work with his parents on the family farm near Bawlf. On November 13, 1971, he married Linda McHugh and to this union three children were born: Jeanette (1973), Brandie (1975) and George (1977).

Grant and Linda moved onto the home quarter in 1972 and resided and farmed there until 1990. To follow his love of cattle, they then moved to Falun, AB and bought a ranch.

In 1995, they sold the ranch and moved onto an acreage near Wetaskiwin, AB and continued to raise a few feeders in the summer. Still following his love of cattle, he worked at the Ponoka Auction Mart from 1995 to 2006, during which time (2000) he moved from the acreage into a house in Wetaskiwin.

In 2006, Grant semi-retired, working as a tire and lube technician until his full retirement in 2014. During this time, Grant found a passion for motorcycles. Some of his happiest times were spent on various road trips with his bike or just day trips going for coffee with family.

When Grant was not on his motorbike, quite often he could be found riding his recumbent bike on paths around Wetaskiwin or paths that he created. He loved being outdoors and being active which included his motorcycle, biking, swimming, and snowshoeing.

Grant is survived by his loving family: wife of 43 years, Linda; daughter, Jeanette (Phil) Kurney and grandchildren, Dylan, Michelle, and Nicholas; daughter, Brandie Hetzner and grandchildren, Peyton and Jayden; son, George (Holly) Hetzner and grandchildren, Gavin and Kylen; father, George (Helen) Hetzner Sr.; sister, Marion (Stan) Kontek; as well as numerous aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.

Grant was predeceased by his mother, Melba Hetzner (1986); grandparents, Robert and Mary Hetzner, and Sven and Mary Longhe.

Respecting Grant’s wishes, cremation with a private family service will be held.

In Grant’s memory, donations are gratefully accepted to the Alberta Diabetes Foundation or to the Wetaskiwin Health Foundation.

“Our family serving your family since 1906”

Edward “Ted” Wallace Edward “Ted” Wallace of Lampman, Saskatchewan was born on August 20, 1939 to Bernard and Edith Wallace in Orillia, Ontario. He passed away peacefully at the Rosehaven Care Center in Camrose on March 6, 2015 at the age of 75 years.

He is survived by his children John (Laura), Michael (Amanda) and daughter Becky; grandchildren Max, Keeghan, Cooper, Sanaa, Malachi and Sara; brothers Bill and John; sisters Mary and Joan; and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

He was predeceased by his wife Ruth ten years ago; brothers Jim and Ken. Ted worked as a grader operator for almost 30 years for the R.M. of Benson, SK. He was a songwriter, poet, guitar player and sang with his wife at numerous church functions and community events. Ted was very talented at wood working, building furniture and renovating his home.

Ted’s greatest legacy is that he had a heart that was sensitive to those who needed a helping hand. Both Ted and Ruth were an example of God’s love and there was a great commitment to going above and beyond, to care for their family and friends – sometimes even those they didn’t know. Whether it was a song Ted wrote, expressing God’s love, or a word of encouragement to a heart needing to be reminded of its worth, those who knew Ted were truly inspired.

A memorial service will be held at a later date. Cremation has taken place.

Memorial donations may be made to the Salvation Army.

Ethan McIndoe

By Murray Green

Hockey player Ethan McIndoe on Team Alberta collected a silver medal at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George, B.C. from Feb. 13 to March 1.

The Camrose player helped his team receive the medal after the squad reached the gold medal game, where they lost a tough 3-1 decision to highly favoured Team Ontario.

Team Alberta was ranked out of the semifinals competition prior to the event, but the club dubbed as Team Gritty worked hard to place second.

“We were the underdogs and were not expected to medal.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, so we were looking for any kind of medal,” said McIndoe. “Silver is good. I mean gold would have been even better, but it was satisfying to accomplish what we did there. Our mind-set was to win gold, but I’m glad I could help my team receive silver and it was one of the best feelings in the world.”

The Grade 10 Camrose Composite High School student scored twice and added an assist in the tournament.

“The games were fast-paced with good puck movement. I played well and kept up to the really fast pace. I felt I played really well,” said McIndoe on his assessment of his own game.

With seven games in a little over a week, it was the survival of the fittest.

“If you weren’t in shape, you would have fallen behind, especially with that pace of the game,” said McIndoe after the Winter Games. “The games were faster, especially with the games with teams from out east. Quebec and Nova Scotia had fast teams with quick transitions. We were a gritty team, not the most skilled, but we were willing to take a hit and win the battles going into the corners. The coaches wanted other teams to say they didn’t want to play against the gritty Alberta guys. Once we realized that, the grittiness paid off in the end.”

McIndoe left the Camrose Minor Hockey system to play for the Sherwood Park Kings midget triple-A team this season as a rookie.

“We are done because our team lost out in the playoffs, so I took a lot from the Games will put it towards next season and trying out with Spokane. Knowing that the game at the next level is a lot faster, and guys are bigger and stronger, I will be working on my strength this summer to improve my speed,” he added.

Although hockey committed most of his time, McIndoe liked to exchange pins with other teams in the evenings at the athlete’s village.

“It was fun and our chance to be with other athletes,” he said.

To fill the void left by an early playoff exit, McIndoe is training with Tim Green to prepare for the move to the next level of hockey.

McIndoe was drafted by the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League, but is also affiliated with the Camrose Kodiaks.

Another Camrose athlete received a bronze medal for his strong showing at the Games.

Braden Doll was part of the Team Alberta wheelchair basketball team that earned third place honours in the first week of competition. Doll also attends CCHS as a Grade 12 student.

A versatile musician, Josephine van Lier is equally at ease on a baroque cello, a five string violoncello piccolo, a seven string bass viola da gamba, or a tenor or treble gamba as on their contemporary counterparts, using instruments and bows whose designs, construction and material span over 400 years in origin; from the gut strings of her baroque cellos and gambas to her 1870 cello and the space-age material of her carbon-fibre cello.

She therefore covers a wide variety of repertoire utilizing the endless possibilities that this range of instruments, string set-ups and bows allow her.

Josephine has garnered much world-wide critical

acclaim for her four disc recording of the Bach cello suites in leading publications around the world, such as Strad Magazine and Oxfort Early Music, including an “Editor’s Choice” five-star rating from London’s Early Music Today.

Founding member, president and artistic director of Early Music Alberta, Josephine is a strong advocate for the historically informed performance practice of early music.

A passionate and very active performer, soloist and chamber musician, Josephine is always looking for challenging and exciting projects. She performs throughout North America, Asia and Europe. She is much sought after across North America for adjudicating festivals, teaching masterclasses, holding lectures and for directing workshops.

She is recipient of the Celebration of Women in the Arts Award from the Edmonton Arts Council.

Daniel Hackborn an artist in residence

By Dan Jensen

Graphic artist and storyteller Daniel Hackborn is honing his craft and gaining new confidence as an artist in residence with the Edmonton business Happy Harbor Comics.

“It’s a program that allows me to be creative at the store every Friday and Saturday and answer any questions that people have about what I do,” explained Hackborn, who is currently working on the first 60-page chapter of his first graphic novel, West of Here.

Happy Harbor Comics’ 32-week long artist in residency program is the only one of its kind for graphic novelists in North America.

Artists who are interested in participating are required to submit portfolios of their work which are then judged by a panel of professional graphic novelists, as well as other interested parties, including former artists in residence. Those who are selected receive a weekly stipend of $100, the use of a work station consisting of a drafting table, supply table and lighting, as well as access to materials in the store for reference, including computer and internet.

“The residency is nonexclusive,” says Happy Harbor Comics’ artist in residence guidelines, “allowing the artist to work on commissions in addition to the projects outlined in their application.”

The program has given Hackborn the chance to spend more time building up what he hopes will be a successful career.

“That’s not usually the

Former Camrose resident Daniel Hackborn works on his graphic novel West of Here at Happy Harbir Comics in Edmonton.

way it is for those coming straight out of university,” he said. “Traditionally you would first have to establish a reputation with publishers by doing contract work.”

Hackborn admits the artist in residency program can be a little unnerving at times.

“I am a little shy about my work and this is the first time I have ever put it out

to the public,” he said, “but I have received very good comments from everyone, something that helps build my confidence. It is really heartening to have such a positive reaction to my work.

It gives me a greater sense of belonging both within the Edmonton arts community and the Canadian comic book or graphic novel community.”

Hackborn is one of a growing number of Canadians who are making big names for themselves in the field of graphic novels, which he tongue-in-cheek describes as fancy words that professors and academics like to use so they don’t admit they are reading comic books. The creator of the action hero, Superman, for instance, was born in Ontario, while Brian

Lee O’Malley, author of the Scott Pilgrim Series, is originally from London, Ontario.

“Growing up in Camrose, I was a pretty nerdy kid who read science fiction and comics,” he said. “I never really thought about doing graphic novels as a career until I graduated from the Camrose Composite High School and got into university. It was at the U of A that I started thinking that this was something that I would be good at doing and I would be able to do for the rest of my life.”

After two years in Edmonton, Hackborn attended Emily Carr University in Vancouver, where he finished a four-year Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2013. He is currently living in Edmonton with a number of other friends, some from his high school days.

Hackborn’s West of Here is the story of youth growing up in the near future in a large, unnamed city who want to make their own decisions about who they are.

“It is a science-fiction type novel with elements of the supernatural,” he said.

“It has three main characters, each of whom thinks they are the hero. I am leaving it up to the reader to decide which one they are rooting for.”

Hackborn is hoping to have the novel ready for release as early as this August.

“I am thinking of doing a launch in Edmonton but I am not thinking of that too much at the moment,” he said. “My main focus right now is getting the work done.”

2015 Chevy Impala More features than ever before

Pete Pastuck

By Dan Jensen

The 2015 Chevrolet Impala at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC in Camrose delivers an unforgettable driving experience.

Impala’s aesthetics and aerodynamics converge for a stunning silhouette, while its craftsmanship puts comfort in a stunning context.

Connectivity spreads its wings with standard OnStar 4G LTE with Wi-Fi connectivity built right in.

“The Impala doesn’t just stand on its own with the world’s leading premium sedans,” said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC dealer principal Will McClellan, “it stands out entirely.”

Purposeful design With its sweeping roofline and sculpted body contours, Impala finesses the air with its aerodynamic styling while capturing the eye from every angle.

In sunlight and under streetlights, bright chrome accents create a reflective dance that accentuates the graceful exterior lines.

Polise meets pavement with a variety of stunning wheel choices, including

available 20-inch aluminum wheels.

Premium details Inside Impala, meticulous French stitching and available woodgrain trim accentuate the flowing instrument panel, which wraps you in ergonomic comfort.

The available eight-way power adjustable front seats have lumbar control, while the cavernous 532 litre trunk lets you carry golf clubs and luggage.

Umbrellas can be stored in the front door pockets.

Laptops or other devices can be plugged into the 120volt outlet behind the centre console.

Technology Some of the most impressive Impala features are the ones you can’t see, including the available Advanced Safety Package with Forward Collision Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Lane Departure Warning.

Forward Collision Alert uses a high resolution camera to scan for vehicles ahead and alerts you of potential crash risks.

Side Blind Zone Alert utilizes radar sensors on both sides of the Impala to identify vehicles in your side mirror blind zones and triggers LED-lit symbols in the corresponding exterior mirrors to signal their presence.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert sounds an alert and provides visual cues on the rear vision camera screen.

Lane Departure Warning sounds an alert if you unintentionally drift out of your lane without signalling.

Full-Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control uses grille-mounted radar to maintain your selected cruise speed and following gap distance, automatically braking when necessary in stop-and-go traffic.

Front Automatic Braking works alongside Adaptive Cruise Control to alert you if the vehicle ahead slows unexpectedly. If you don’t react quickly enough, it automatically applies the brakes to help prevent a front-end collision.

Totally connected Available Chevrolet MyLink with Bluetooth

wireless technology makes it easy to connect to calls, music, contacts and more on the go – all by using enhanced voice commands or the 203 mm diagonal colour touch-screen display.

OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation is standard for six months. Or, go for the available Chevrolet MyLink Radio with Navigation, featuring full GPS navigation, along with a three-month trial of Sirius XM Nav Traffic.

Hidden, lockable storage behind the touch-screen allows you to stow valuables safely out of reach.

Performance The 195 horsepower 2.5 litre four cylinder engine combines Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing and new stop/start technology to help save on gas. Stop/ start technology can automatically shut off the engine when stopped and enables a smooth transition when the brake pedal is released.

The 305 horsepower 3.6 V-8 engine moves you from zero to 96 km/h in 6.8 seconds and delivers a highway fuel consumption rating of 8.2 litres per 100 km. Direct

Injection improves power and efficiency while lowering emissions. Variable Valve Timing provides nearpeak torque over a wider rpm range.

Premium electric rackand-pinion steering provides crisp, responsive handling. The tight steering radius is enhanced by an available variable-effort feature, which increases power assistance during low-speed manoeuvres.

Safety Built-in sensors automatically alert an OnStar advisor in the event of a crash. Even if you don’t respond, an OnStar advisor can use GPS technology to pinpoint your exact location and request emergency help.

RemoteLink Key Fob Services give you access to features such as locking and unlocking your doors, even when you are a kilometre away.

See the 2015 Chevrolet Impala at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose.

Camrose Skating Club members will be stepping into the spotlight when they present their At the Movies carnival at the Camrose Recreation Centre March 21.

“We’re going to be featuring about 100 skaters from the three-year-old program all the way up to the adult synchronized team (The Rusty Blades) said Camrose Skating Club executive administrator Sara Zylka.

“They’re going to have the chance to show parents and friends what they have been working so hard on since the start of the year.”

Special guests at the show will be the Ice Crystals from Bashaw.

“They are a 12-member synchronized skating team, which just got together this year,” said At the Movies coordinator Crystal Koch.

The skating carnival has always been a great way for the Camrose Skating Club to increase awareness in the community about the programs if offers as well as raise the money it needs to operate.

“Most of the income we receive comes from ticket sales but we also do quite well with our raffles,” said Zylka. “Thanks to the generous community partners we have been able to put together four great-looking gift baskets, one for

The best goaltender in the south, Devin McDonald, of the Kodiaks, was also missing from the squad. He posted a 2.12 goals against average, while Renyard was close with a 2.19 average.

Goalie Tommy Nixon, Sherwood Park Crusaders; defencemen James Vermeulen, Whitecourt Wolverines; Ryan Black, Bonnyville Pontiacs; forwards Jetlan Houcher, Fort McMurray Oil Barons, Jarid Hauptman, Spruce Grove Saints, and John Mullally, Whitecourt Wolverines were named to the northern team.

Battle River Community Foundation board member Mike Rodin presents a cheque for $18,000 to Camrose Public Library director Deb Cryderman.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $18,000 to the Camrose Public Library.

The grant is from income from the Ross and Denise Irving Fund. This Fund was established by Denise Irving in 2002 to support the Camrose Public Library.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations in East Central Alberta which benefit communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds.

The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations in accordance with the wishes of the donors.

Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $2,900,000 to support important facilities and programs such as the Camrose Public Library.

Down Syndrome Day March 21 Mayor Norm Mayor is helping CAFCL raise awareness by wearing Funky Socks in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day. Down syndrome is a naturally occurring chromosomal arrangement that has always existed and is universal across racial, gender and socio-economic lines. A person with Down syndrome has three copies of the twenty-first chromosome instead of two. The effects of this extra genetic material vary from person to person.

People with Down Syndrome should be able to enjoy full and equal rights, with opportunities and choices.

Many face challenges to this, as others fail to understand that people with Down Syndrome are people first, who may need support, but should be recognized on an equal basis, without discrimination on the basis of disability.

CAFCL challenges you, your friends, your family, your business to wear funky socks to raise awareness of World Down Syndrome Day. We can do this if we all wear socks. Wear brightly colored socks, long socks, printed socks, one sock – maybe even three socks for three chromosomes. Take a picture wearing your funky socks during the week of March 16 to 22 and send it to Cherilyn Sharkey, csharkey@cafcl.org, and we will post your picture on our facebook page. What a fun thing to do with your staff or family and show support and spread the word.

If your diesel engine needs repairs, call someone who knows how to fix them right.

Rob Ball is a diesel engine specialist. He’s been at it for 40 years. He knows his clients have a lot invested in their trucks. So, when one of them comes to him for repairs, he wants to make sure he fully understands the problem. He doesn’t want to fix something only to see it flare up again six months down the road. He knows his customers will talk to their friends and the only conversations Rob wants them to have is when they say it was fixed right the first time at OnTrack.

When you’re looking for a shop that uses OEM diagnostic tools and knows how to fix your Ford, GM or Dodge DIESEL truck – then OnTrack is the shop for you.

If you follow trends on the internet, you’ve probably seen the picture of a dress that seems to defy one’s ability to identify its colour, so that many people see the dress Tim Parker, Psychology, as blue and black while Augustana Campus, others see it as white and University of Alberta gold. For the photo, just Google “the dress debate”.

The question, of course, is why do people see this so differently? What kind of illusion is at play here?

Perhaps I can shed some light, so to speak, on why our visual system produces these different colour interpretations. The key is that the dress image dominates the photo and there is very little surrounding context. As a result, the brain has difficulty in determining the colours of the stripes.

This example nicely demonstrates that the classical theory of colour vision—that colour depends on the wavelength of light reflected from an object—is totally inadequate. A central problem for this theory has always been the phenomenon known as colour constancy: a coloured surface remains the same colour in a variety of different lighting conditions.

Edwin Land, the inventor of the Polaroid camera, did some fascinating experiments that revealed just how complex the process of determining the colour of an object really is. Land asked people to look at a painting that was a collection of different coloured squares and rectangles. One of the squares was red, while some distance away there was a green rectangle.

At this point, Land used light meters to measure the long, medium and short wavelengths of light being reflected from the red square. Next, Land adjusted three different projectors so that they shone short, medium, and long wavelength light onto the green square such that the green square now reflected exactly the same pattern of wavelengths as the red square.

The question, of course, is how will we now see the green square? Will it be red or green?

The classical theory predicts that the green square should now appear red; however, people see it as green! On the other hand, if you use a white cover so that only the red and green areas can be seen, now the green square turns red! This tells us that colour context, that is, all the other coloured squares in the image, must be present for the brain to interpret colours correctly.

To make a long story short, the brain actually calculates colours based on the contrast that is present in all of the different colours in a scene. Without these contrasts, the brain can only base its conclusion on the light reflected from the target area. Thus, in the absence of context, the brain has a difficult time in identifying colours of objects.

Getting back to the dress, the picture provides little context. While we can see that there are dark and light stripes in the dress, choosing the actual colour becomes more difficult. One additional problem is the way the dress is illuminated in the photo. If you take an object that is red and illuminate it with red light only, it will appear white. I suspect something like this is happening in this photo, except that the illumination is blue and the dress is blue, so the blue stripes appear white. This probably accounts for why lots of people see white stripes in the dress.

What’s so nice about this phenomenon is that it allows us to see how truly fascinating the process of colour vision is. The illusion occurs, as so many do, because we don’t have enough information for the brain to process. Still, this doesn’t prevent us from being sure about our decision!

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details.

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

Be Honest

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

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.

Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

Atom female hockey provincials hosted by Wildcats

By Murray Green

The Camrose Wildcats female atom hockey team is ready to host provincials on March 19 to 22 at the Recreation Centre with 10 teams entered.

Local coach Kathy Watters entered the team to give the players more experience at a higher level of hockey.

“We have players ranging in age from eight to 11 years old on this team,” she said.

The Hockey Alberta provincials begin at 4 p.m. on Thursday and the Wildcats take on Calgary WC at 6:15 p.m. in the EnCana Arena.

Kodiaks prepared to slay the Dragons

Flagstaff County is recruiting for the permanent full-time position of

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE TECHNICIAN

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks have been matched with the Drumheller Dragons in the second round of the Alberta Junior Hockey League playoffs.

Although the post season is different, the Kodiaks won all six regular season contests between the two clubs on its way to finishing first and earning a first round bye.

The Kodiaks have gone back to what worked in the past. The tradition of going blonde was popular when the squad won the league title and they are hungry for the championship again this year.

“It shows unity and we wanted to go back to the old ways of what worked in the past,” said defenceman Dallas Bergstrom. “I love it. It’s pretty cool to see 25 guys or so with plastic gloves on bleaching each other’s hair. It was a team bonding thing and we all look like one unit. It’s a Kodiak image and I think children looked up to us and beached their own hair. It is a sign that we are all one group and did it for a reason. We didn’t do it to lose out in the first round we play. We want to grow it out.”

The two squads have met twice before in the playoffs with the Kodiaks coming out on top in both.

“Realistically, it doesn’t matter who we play. But, it is nice to know, so we can prepare for Drumheller and focus on them more,” said Bergstrom prior to the series. “It allows us to get system specific against Drumheller since we have seen them six times this season.”

The Dragons like to shoot everything at the net.

“Blocking shots and hitting them in our end is going to be key for us,” added Bergstrom. “We need to be aggressive and physical and when they stop skating, they don’t have a chance. Especially on the power play, they love to plug the net and shoot high from all directions. Blocking shots and blocking people out to give our goalie a chance to see the puck is our best defence.”

The defenceman doesn’t worry about the past. “We only concern ourselves with this year because the teams change each year. We are confident in our abilities this year and we have different leadership. Guys are focused and ready to go.

We have had intense practices to prepare for Drumheller.”

Winning now is important for the Kodiaks. “We have 20-years-olds that won’t be coming back, so we want to win now,” said Bergstrom. “We want to win it for the younger guys who will be coming back as well. It’s not about one person, it’s about all of us who want to win this year.”

Summary of Position: The Automotive Service Technician is responsible for performing the service to and maintenance of a wide variety of equipment and vehicle fleets owned and/or operated by the County, in accordance with policies and bylaws established by County Council.

It was a great decision to come here and learn not only about hockey, but life skills as well,” said Bergstrom, who is from Bashaw. “It’s been an enjoyable four years. I came here as a 16-year-old to play midget hockey and I have

made a lot of friends. It is a great community to be a part of.”

Kodiaks’ McBride accepts scholarship

Modest fee increases will ensure that campers at Alberta’s provincial parks will continue to enjoy safe and well-maintained sites.

The regular provincial parks’ campsite fee will increase by $3 per night for the 2015 season. Sites will now range in price from $5 to $26 per night depending on location. An additional fee of $1 per night is also being applied to power sites to help offset increased utility costs.

The increases will also apply to group campsites on a per unit base. The base rate of $50 for a group campsite will increase to a range of $50 to $150 per night and be implemented next year.

Sewage disposal, an optional user-pay service, will increase from a flat fee of $3 to a range of $3 to $10.

Alberta Parks will also introduce an optional on-site, pump-out service at a cost of up to $25 at some campgrounds.

“Our provincial campgrounds are attracting more visitors every year,” said Kyle Fawcett, minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development.

“These fee increases will help us maintain our parks to the standards that have made them so popular, while keeping camping in Alberta affordable for families and visitors.”

The increase to fees will generate almost $2 million, which will be reinvested in Alberta’s 245 provincial campgrounds to maintain amenities like picnic tables, f ire pits, washrooms, showers, visitor centres, playgrounds, boat launches, trails and roads.

Unlike some other provincial jurisdictions, Alberta does not charge a gate, access or day-use fee, and has not changed its fee range structure in the last five years.

Alberta Parks is introducing reservations by region at staggered times for regular bookings to better support Albertans as they make their camping plans for the summer, and is once again offering its “Stay for 3, Pay for 2” nights midweek promotion at select provincial campgrounds.

Sifton students learn practical lessons

By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks forward Cole McBride has accepted a scholarship to play for Merrimack College in Division I of the NCAA for the 2016-17 season.

“Cole has worked hard this year as a rookie and he came to us from a good program in Tisdale (Saskatchewan),” said Kodiaks general manager and coach Boris Rybalka. “He is one of the top rookies in our league and Merrimack is getting a high-end player. Cole comes from a great family background with good morals and ethics.”

McBride had 19 goals and 42 points in 42 games for the Kodiaks. Five of his goals have been game winners this season.

He has just 20 minutes in penalties.

“Congratulations to Cole and the McBride family, and we know that you will continue on your path to a bright hockey future,” coach Rybalka added.

By Dan Jensen

Twenty-two Ecole Sifton Grade 5 students enjoyed learning outside the classroom when they participated in a Iron Chef style competition at Camrose Com-

posite High School kitchen last month.

Working in six separate teams, the students created a beverage, an entree and a dessert that were judged by former Sifton teacher Elaine Wiberg, principal Randy

Wiberg and Gert Mundt on the basis of taste, presentation, as well as how they were able to relate what they had made to the lessons they have been learning in school about chemistry.

“I have modified the Classroom Chemistry unit to relate everything to cooking,” said Grade 5 teacher Erica Easton, who organized the event with the help of her education assistant Debbie McKay. “I hope that by bringing them over here (to CCHS) I can teach them about chemistry as well as encourage a love for cooking.”

Students were assisted by their parents who shared their expertise they had obtained in preparing meals, either as a parent or as a business person. Tim Falk, a journeyman baker, for example, helped the students create a delicious-looking pie.

“Each of the six student groups had to have a parent,” said Easton.

The ability to prepare healthy and nutritious meals and work together as a team are skills that students need to have in the 21st century.

“The things they learn today will always be available to them,” said Easton, adding that lifelong learning is Ecole Sifton’s theme for February. “Learning is not just about memorizing contents of a book, it is about being able to apply what you know to different experiences.”

The winning team received the prize of a pizza party.
