Dentist Chris Dinh feels Camrose adults need to re-examine the brands of toothpaste they are using in order to curtail the current fluoride-polluted water problem in Camrose. Adults should avoid any toothpaste containers with cartoon pictures on the containers. These brands might contain higher fluoride concentrations and are intended for young children only.

People who are using too much toothpaste, or brushing too frequently, are causing inadvertent grief for Camrose City Council. The fluoride level in the Camrose water supply is way too high in the water we are drinking. That is the opinion of consultants in a report conveyed to Camrose Council at their meeting on Monday. The fluoride level is roughly seventy-two times the recommended safe level according to the expert’s report. Debate will continue tomorrow morning (Wednesday) on a proposed emergency
90-day toothpaste ban for all residents of our community. April Phirst, who presented the report on behalf of environmental consultant’s Phirst, Dey and Forth, notes: “Fluoride has not been intentionally added to the Camrose water treatment process for almost two decades. The alarming rise of fluoridation levels in the water supply of the Camrose drinking water is directly related to Camrosian’s excessive toothpaste use and spitting hundreds of litres of water used for brushing teeth and dentures down city sinks multiple times every day.” The aged Camrose water treatment plant is not equipped to filter out fluoride as waste water is recycled. The consultant, a self-proclaimed ‘infrequent brusher’ who relies on spearmint gum and raw parsley to keep her breath fresh, reminded Councillors that a 90-day ban on toothpaste use will only be a minor, not insurmountable, inconvenience.

buying, selling and building property in this community for several years. For us, choosing a realtor was not about popularity or about how many properties he had his name on. It was about time, attention and commitment. Trevor provided us all of these things. Long after we bought and sold our first property with him, he is still in touch and is always looking out for opportunities for us and still shows appreciation on a regular basis.
Whether you are looking to buy or sell once or several times, we recommend TREVOR VINET. His credentials speak volumes, but the time, attention and commitment he gives to his customers is outstanding!

Kiwanis Club presents Top Cop award to Wilton By Murray Green
Camrose Police Service Const. Matthew Wilton received the Camrose and District Kiwanis Club Top Cop award at a Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino banquet on Friday, March 20. “Today, we not only celebrate the law enforcement, but their interaction with the community. Police deal with a variety of situations every day. I’ve heard it called the best seat to the greatest show on Earth. They see what most people don’t even imagine. When Const. Wilton wanted to become a police officer, I’m sure he wanted to make a difference in his community. When he explored his career options he considered what he could do to achieve that. Police officers are amazing individuals who have to do what is for the betterment of the city,” said Kiwanis governor Roy Bird. Const. Wilton has served in the police department for seven years as a forensic identification specialist and has volunteered his spare time in the community for a number of organizations. Not only has he been dedicated to his job, he assists Camrose Special Olympics, Charity Check Stop, Camrose Neighbor Aid Center’s food bank and the Law Enforcement Torch Run to name a few. Const. Wilton’s community service also includes volunteering on the board of the Family Violence Action Society and the Family Violence Response Council. His is an active member of

Matt Wilton at the Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino on March 20. Kiwanis Club members Weston Voytechek, left, and Dirk Bannister, right, made the presentation to Const. Wilton.
the Camrose Victim Services group. “Camrose is a great place to work, live and play. We are the poster child for the Government of Alberta. They want the rest of the police departments to look like us,” said Camrose chief Darrell Kambeitz. “Some of the retired police officers get together to discuss the faults of the police chief. Sometimes they phone me to discuss them. One day, back in December 2008, I received one of those calls. The retirement club called to let me know that one of our police cars, and obviously a uniform, had been stolen because they just saw
a marked City police car drive through Tim Hortons with a 14-year-old in the driver’s seat. Const. Wilton had just graduated from recruit training and was serving the citizens of Camrose. Just for the record, I didn’t think you looked a day younger than 16.” After seven years of service, he doesn’t look much older now. “We are all jealous,” joked Chief Kambeitz. “A lot of work comes with negatives. We don’t have a lot of opportunity for positive relations with the public. Const. Wilton helps bridge that gap for us through his positive work in the com-
munity. His roles in crime prevention and community relations allow him the opportunity to interact with many groups and make a positive impact.” The Kiwanis Club launched the Top Cop award to salute a member of the police service and selected staff sergeant Rick Marcinkowski as its first recipient. Const. Wilton received the second award. “I’m truly grateful for the respect the Camrose Police Service gives the people of Camrose,” said Kiwanis member Weston Voytechek. “In the two years we have had this award we have had more
than one person nominated. That says something for your police force. I had the pleasure to work with Matt in starting up soccer for Special Olympics. When Matt arrived, I thought was he was the son of Matt. He wasn’t in uniform. However, he is quite the go-getter. You know what just amazes me is that you guys (police officers) have yet to get a glass from the fountain of youth that he drinks from. I just can’t believe it.” Voytechek then listed all of the things Const. Wilton was involved with outside of his police position prior to making the award presentation. “I want to thank the Kiwanis Club for the wonderful work it has done over the last few years to bring this award to Camrose. It is nice to know that some of the good things we do above and beyond our job are recognized,” said Const. Wilton. “I’m honoured to receive this award and realize its significance, since I do work with so many officers who could be here instead of me accepting this award. I am grateful to be nominated by the various groups that I am involved with. Volunteering allows me to be involved with organizations that I might not have been involved with had I not been with the police service.” He thanked the police service, the organizations that nominated him and his fellow officers.
Council approves increase in waste collection rates By Dan Jensen
Camrose City council has given three readings to a bylaw that will increase the rates residents pay for waste collection for disposal. Starting April 1, rates for the collection of residential waste, yard waste and limited organics will be $10.55 per month (per household utility), up from the current rate of $10.28 per month. The rate for the disposal of waste at the Camrose landfill will increase from $3.45 per month (per household utility), up from the current rate of $3.34 per month. “The landfill operations are a contracted service, currently with MCL Waste,” said director of engineering services Jeremy Enarson in a presentation to council March 16. “At the last Regional Solid Waste
Authority meeting the tipping fee was increased for residential users by $1.50 to $40 per tonne.” The rates for both collection and disposal include a nine per cent franchise fee. The tag for additional collection services will still be available at the same $5 per tag rate. Tags may be purchased at a number of City facilities with the rate set to recover costs to operate the program and a surcharge as a deterrent for exceeding the bag limit. City council awarded a new residential waste collection contract in the amount of $6,999,863 Feb. 17. BFI Canada Inc., from Edmonton, will collect from 22 curb side receptacles in downtown from April, 2015 to March, 2020 (with an negotiated extension to 2022), 6,200 resi-
dential units from April, 2015, to March 2020, and approximately 6,385 residential units from April, 2020, to March, 2022. Collections will be done manually in the first year of the contract, then transition to the automatic method using totes. “As the automated collection system is rolled out in early 2016, the City should expect to see a combined collection rate increase of approximately 35 per cent over the $10.55 per month rate,” said Enarson. “This would include tote purchase costs amortized over a five year period. The exact amount of future increases will be determined sometime in early 2016 and presented to City council for approval at that time.” Residential waste collection is only offered to
single family dwelling units up to and including four-plexes. Higher density dwelling units and all commercial, industrial and institutional properties must contract their waste collection services directly with waste haulers. The combined utility waste collection charges (solid waste and compost and disposal) saw an aggregate 2.8 per cent increase in 2015. Acting manager Council has appointed Kim Isaak as acting City manager (chief administrative officer) effective April 1. Isaak, who is general manager of corporate and protective services, has been serving as acting manager since Feb. 3. Council is still in the process of recruiting a manager to take over from
Damian Herle, who is currently on vacation and will be retiring on March 31. Council is required to appoint a manager under Section 205.2 of the Municipal Government Act. Building permits The City of Camrose issued building permits having a total value of $451,500 in the month of February, bringing the total permit value for the year to $1,477,800. The value of building permits issued in February of 2014, was $798,000. The value of residential building permits so far this year is $1,162,800, compared to $195,000 for commercial, $75,000 for industrial and $45,000 for institutional. The largest permit issued in February totalled $180,000 for a single family dwelling.

By Murray Green
We all face loss throughout our lives. Co-workers, friends, family or even health care professionals can be uncomfortable with those who are acutely grieving – no matter what type of bereavement. The Camrose Primary Care Network is offering a one day Bereavement and Grief workshop on Saturday, April 18, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to help those in need. Professionally facilitated, by RN Colette Howery and Donna Lynne Erickson, the workshop will help you to be present with those who are mourning. When it comes to bereavement, no one is an expert because each person and situation is unique. Learn how to be supportive in simple ways; understand how to bear witness to someone’s grief rather than to attempt to fix or cure sadness and know that you can be an advocate for those who are overwhelmed with advice and cliches. Walking alongside another in their grief journey in itself is a learning experience. Learn how to create a safe space for others to work through their new reality without judgment. There is no cure, no drug, no therapy to return to the way things were before the loss event. But, there is hope. Getting through the hard work it takes to reconcile the reality of loss can be supported by those who desire to be grief helpers. “There are no experts in grief and loss. If you want to be helpful to someone who is bereaved, simply walk alongside them in their journey and let them teach you what is meaningful to them. These seminars are designed to educate, inspire and bring hope – often life-changing,” said Erickson. “No one is exempt from the heartache of loss, so let us learn together how we can help each other. This one day workshop offers information, education, inspiration and hope,” added Howery. “PCN physicians and staff are really pleased with the success of the grief and bereavement workshops, which have been offered for more than two years now. They recognize there is an opportunity in the community to continue this program for individuals facing loss in their lives,” said Stacey Strilchuk, Camrose PCN executive director. “We are fortunate to have Colette and Donna Lynne to partner with for this workshop and are so pleased to be able to collaborate with them in a way that is meaningful and relevant to people facing bereavement and grief.” To receive more information or to register, contact the Camrose PCN at 780-608-4927. Space is limited and registrations will be accepted until April 15.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Learning to walk in the dark When I was little I was scared of the dark. I know (because people have told me) that I am not the only one. I still remember that terrible walk from the light switch to the bed. I’d turn out the light, cross the bedroom and jump into bed from as far away as possible so the monster hand didn’t reach out from under the bed and grab me by the ankle. I’d dive under the covers and peer out. The half-open closet door hid nameless shapeless terrors; unknown bad things, scary things that would ooze out and do harm. From an early age, I have preferred the light: daytime rather than nighttime, sunny rather than cloudy, clarity rather than ambiguity. I have wanted to hide from, be protected from, turn away from, the darkness. At first, “darkness” meant simply the absence of physical light. As I grew older, “darkness” also acquired symbolic meaning – dark emotions, dark thoughts, dark actions. And then one day, I was jarred. Relentless?
A friend from the coast was visiting me. We had, in my mind, perfect summer weather – sunshine every day, blue skies, bright and sunny. One morning it was grey, raining and overcast. I was disappointed. My friend came downstairs from the guest room and said, “Oh thank God! A rainy day. I was so tired of that relentless sunshine!” It had never occurred to me that light could be “relentless.”

Already former Wildrose, Conservative, and Liberal voters have taken New Democrat signs, made donations to my campaign and said they are voting NDP because we have an excellent leader in Rachel
Notley and a strong slate of candidates. Talking with people about the upcoming election I sense a lot of hostility and anger about the attempted tax grabs from low and middle income families while the Conservatives protect their wealthy friends and corporations with tax breaks. Many have told me they feel this electoral district will be one changing its MLA. I am not totally surprised, judging from the results of the last election when the Conservatives received only 43 per cent of the popular vote. Almost 60 per cent of Albertans are not voting for other candidates. People are fed up with the excuses for poor Conservative fiscal management. Many are choosing Rachel Notley for Premier
and you will want me as your MLA if “you” want: your property rights protected; education properly funded; efficient, comprehensive health care; fair progressive taxation; low municipal taxes; jobs and a diversified economy; fair oil royalties; lower electricity bills; responsible, sustainable economic development; balanced budgets; reinvestment in the Heritage Trust Fund and a government working for the benefit and prosperity of all Albertans.

Fish and Game Association supports Augustana research station at park
In the dark
When I remember painful experiences, many were prolonged unnecessarily because I kept myself “in the dark” about things I didn’t want to see. Some of those things were external – events and people around me. When I was willing to look deeply, most of those things were also internal. At the root, what I did not want to see within myself kept being reflected back until I was courageous enough to let myself see it, or I was forced into seeing it because I had turned away for so long that a niggle became a crisis. I had to go into the darkness to see the light. Gifts of darkness
On this planet we have light and dark in equal measure. No matter where we live on the planet, at whatever latitude, over the period of a year we experience light and dark in equal measure. Perhaps there is a message here. In the darkness we can rest. In the darkness, seeds begin to sprout and grow roots and leaves. In the darkness dreams are born. In the darkness, ideas can percolate and take shape. If we are willing to explore the darkness, we discover gifts we could not imagine when we are blinded by the light. Walking in the dark
So how do we walk in the dark? Carefully, gingerly, gently at first, feeling our way. And how do we learn to walk in the dark? Two favourite quotes provide a hint. First, the hard part, the courageous part: ... Start with the first thing close in, the step you don’t want to take. – David Whyte. And then the hope: ... When we come to the edge of all the light we have known, And step into the darkness of the unknown, We must believe one of two things will happen: Something will come up to meet us Or we will be taught to fly. – Patrick Overton If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com.
Camrose and District Fish and Game Association vice-president Glen Hand and president Wayne Harde present a cheque for $2,000 to Augustana Faculty officials Glen Hvenegaard and Jonathan Mohr to support the research station at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. By Dan Jensen
The Augustana environmental research station project received a $2,000 boost from the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association March 4. The station will be built on leased property at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. “We will be doing the site preparations once the snow has disappeared,” said Jonathan Mohr, chair of science at Augustana. The station will include a lab, sleeping accommodation for eight, washrooms, a kitchen, a meeting room, and storage space for specimens that are collected. The space will be used mainly by researchers from Augustana, but will be rented to others when there is a request. Mohr feels the station will help improve safety of those who use it by cutting
down on the number of trips to and from Camrose. “A lot of the work that will be done there will be late at night and early in the morning,” said Mohr. “It would be better to have them stay there, rather than driving back and forth in the dark. The station is expected to open teaching opportunities for both university and Battle River School Division students and help parks, counties, other universities and various other organizations collaborate when they are looking for grants. Other benefits will include finding rural and local solutions for biodiversity issues, fostering leadership opportunities in students and the formation of community networks. “Our focus on teaching students in local environ-
ments gets them attached to this place, gets them interested in pursuing and maintaining the quality of this place,” said Augustana professor of environmental science Glen Hvenegaard. “This research station can become a hub, a go-to-place for areas and agencies and individuals wanting to solve problems that are related to environmental sustainability.” Camrose County gave Augustana $25,000 to help launch the research station project back in 2010. The project then succeeded in getting $75,000 each from Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation and the University of Alberta, as well as $80,000 in philanthropic gifts. A field course for 24 students will be held when the station becomes fully operational this summer.

Judge hands down stiff sentences By Dan Jensen
A 42-year-old Camrose man was sentenced to five years in prison and prohibited from owning firearms for the rest of his life, and a 25-yearold Camrose woman was sentenced to 60 days in prison after pleading guilty to a variety of drug related offences in provincial court March 12. The woman was released as her time had already been served. Camrose police laid charges of Possession of
Cocaine for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Methamphetamine for the Purpose of Trafficking, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Proceeds of Crime and Failing to Comply with a Recognizance following two separate drug investigations that occurred in 2014. On May 2, Camrose police executed a search warrant at a residence on the north side of Camrose, where they seized signifi-
cant quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine, along with a large quantity of cash and other items related to the sale of drugs. On Aug. 17, police executed a search warrant at the same residence, where they seized 285 grams of cocaine, 45 grams of methamphetamine, a large quantity of cash and a loaded handgun. The total street value of the drugs seized in the two investigations was over $45,000.

Mayor Norm Mayer touched on the City of Camrose operational and capital budgets, the strategic plan, the land use bylaw, residential and commercial land, building permits and the new City Hall in his yearly update to the Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce March 4. Mayer noted the 2015 operating and capital budgets have expenditures of $48,691,736 and $13,679,341 respectively. “The 2015 operating budget reflects a 3.46 per cent increase to the tax levy,” he said. Capital projects proposed for 2015 include the 48 Avenue bridge replacement, a 53 Street overlay from 48A Avenue to 54 Avenue, traffic signal upgrades, other residential local road updates, wastewater treatment plant construction planning, trail system upgrades and community way finding signage. The City strategic plan approved by council in September of 2014, said Mayer, calls for the City to build and maintain infrastructure to meet the needs of the community, enhance green spaces while protecting the environment, develop strategies to address public transportation and the root causes of poverty, complete a review of community peace officer resourcing, complete a cultural master plan, adopt plans for attracting tourism events and the utilization and disposal of City-owned facilities and land, review and update the Community Economic Development Plan, and steward its resources to provide quality municipal services to residents and internal customers. “Council and staff will seek to further enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of governance and business processes,” said Mayer. “The City will be an employer of choice with solid organizational processes and policies to create an engaged and productive workforce.” Mayer said the land use bylaw revision will be completed this year. “The bylaw has been through various drafts and examined closely at different stages by the Land Use Bylaw Working Group, administration, the Municipal Planning Advisory Committee and council. The draft was given first reading by council on Feb. 2. Public engagement activities surrounding the details of the document will be conducted in March and April with a targeted completion date and adoption by council in May.” The total value of building permits in the city in 2014, said Mayer, was $45 million. “This year we were a bit down due to the fact that institutional was down by $4 million and residential was down by $3 million, however we had more single family houses built this year than last year.” The number of new subdivisions approved in 2014 was 13, while the number of new lots (registered or in progress) was 189. “We had the most approvals of subdivisions and lots than we have had in many years,” said Mayer. The City issued 55 home occupation licences (in 2014), 33 non-city licences, 38 city licences and 16 county licences. A total of eight businesses had changes in ownership. Continued on page 11

Update Mayer believes the Cargill canola crushing plant opening this spring will bring big benefits to Camrose. “Cargill has stated that Camrose has proved to be a great community to do business,” he said. “There are over 200 employees constructing this plant and there will be an estimated 50 to 75 jobs in servicing, trucking, uniform supply, electrical and pipe fitting.” The City currently does not have any industrial land for sale and is expecting its highway commercial land will soon be gone. “Council will be having discussions on working towards industrial land for our city,” said Mayer. “The City may be a developer for the industrial land.” While the Valleyview residential subdivision is sold out, Mayer noted that CAMGILL will be developing the residential land that is on the southwest side of the city. “The subdivision they are building is the land that Edgeworth had about eight years ago,” he said. “There will be over 70 lots developed this year, and there are other residential areas that will be developed as well.” Mayer said staff will be moving into the 38,750 square foot City Hall in April. “The design consists of a four storey building with three floors completed and the fourth floor being shelled in for future use. As well, projected parking demands for this facility were identified to include approximately 100 off-street parking stalls. The facility will accommodate staff growth over the next 30 years, almost doubling the staff to 95 people, including senior administration, finance, corporate services and portions of engineering services, but not including community services, fire and police departments, and the public works division of engineering services.” Mayer encouraged Chamber members to check social media and websites for all the events that are coming to the Performing Arts Centre.

New ambulatory care clinic reduces waiting times at St. Mary’s Hospital By Murray Green
Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose has created a new clinic to reduce wait times for patients. Patients waiting for ambulatory care at the St. Mary’s Hospital emergency room have experienced a shorter wait time since last November because of a new ambulatory care clinic dedicated to meet the needs of stable outpatients. “It is way faster. We don’t have to wait anymore and that saves a lot of time,” said patient Ryan Lee, who loves the new clinic and service. “It is a lot quieter at this clinic than sitting in emergency.” He needs a ride from his Bashaw area home for iron blood infusions. Ryan started the journey once a week seven years ago and it varies to about one trip a month now. “Before we couldn’t make other appointments because it took all day to for Ryan to receive an iron infusion, said his mother, Kathy Lee. “Now we are trying it once a month for six months and see where we are at then. His anxiety level has gone down, so I could slip away if I had to. I couldn’t before.” With emergencies always taking priority, the one and a half hour procedure often took a full eight hours to complete, which took a full day out of the lives of the patients and, in some cases, a caregiver as well. This new space allows patients to receive the care they need sooner, better serving the community of Camrose. The clinic has served 198 patients to date and could reach as many as 60 patients a month. “The Ambulatory Care Clinic has taken a large volume of patients out of our emergency department. This change does not affect the

emergency wait time because emergency patients were always seen first. Emergency care is based on a triage system where the sickest patients are always seen first. These outpatients have standing orders and therefore can be treated by a nurse without seeing a physician and with no wait time,” explained Michelle Bowman, emergency room manager at St. Mary’s. “From 2008 to 2010 it averaged five hours for an infusion because I had a higher dose,” said Ryan. “Emergency only has 11 beds, so Ryan alone was taking up a bed for five hours. Often we had to take him out of the bed because we needed it, so he would have to sit in the waiting room having his infusion. This clinic is now a huge difference for all of our out patients,” said Bowman. “The staff that I have
met in the whole hospital has been great,” added Ryan. “The outpatients coming to the ambulatory care clinic are so pleased,” continued Michelle. “You have a time booked and now you know that you will be seen in a timely manner.” The new clinic operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. allowing for the treatment of up to six patients at one time. Patients are referred to the clinic by a physician and are given an appointment, ensuring they no longer have to wait in the emergency room queue and they get treated in a timely manner. Some examples of procedures an ambulatory care patient may receive include infusion of blood and blood components, intravenous medication infusions, phlebotomies and other treat-
ments as prescribed by their physicians. The clinic was in the planning stage for two years before it opened last November. “The room was used for education purposes before. Originally it was two semiprivate rooms. Over the years it has evolved into many different things,” explained Michelle. Covenant Health is Canada’s largest Catholic health care organization with over 14,000 physicians, employees and volunteers serving in 12 communities across Alberta. A major provider in Alberta’s integrated health system, Covenant Health works with Alberta Health Services and community partners to positively influence the health of Albertans through a broad range of programs and services.
ASBA welcomes decision on exams The A lberta School Boards Association welcomed the government’s decision to drop the amount diploma exam marks count towards an Alberta student’s final mark from 50 per cent to 30 per cent. “This decision was a long time coming and it positively impacts high school students in this province,” said ASBA president Helen Clease. “Today’s decision will be met with cheers from students, parents and staff. Communities have been telling school boards for a long time that this is one of their priorities.” At the ASBA’s November 2014 meeting, 82 per cent of Alberta school boards supported a motion calling on the government to drop the weight of diploma exams. Clease also welcomed the 24 new partnerships that will allow Alberta high school students to earn post-secondary credits or workplace certification in fields like carpentry, welding, esthetics, and accounting. “These partnerships support school boards’ efforts to create new pathways for student learning. Anytime we can create these opportunities for students, it is a good thing,” said Clease.
Round Hill community comes together for Mike Twerdun Submitted
It is always amazing to see a tiny community like Round Hill come together when a need arises. On March 13, a packed community hall full of family, friends, neighbours and community volunteers enjoyed enough potluck to feed everyone fourfold. Two hundred plus donations for a silent auction displayed generosity that surpassed anybody’s expectations. The bidding on the silent auction was brisk with many items having many bidders. A live auction was held for a few selected items which provided some entertainment for the evening. The auctioneer was able to coerce lively bidders to pay over a hundred dollars for a homemade pie. People not only gave through the auction but they also
were very generous in cash donations. This combined for an evening which raised over $20,000 net for Mike Twerdun to cover his medical costs for the operation to improve his eyesight. Mike is affected with a degenerative eye disorder called Stargardt disease. While macular degeneration generally is associated with aging eyes, the inherited form known as Stargardt disease can affect children and young adults. It affects approximately one in 10,000 people and is characterized by central vision loss early in life. Stargardt disease causes the light-sensitive cells in the inner back of the eye to deteriorate, particularly in the area of the macula where fine focusing occurs. Central vision loss also occurs, while peripheral vision usually
is retained. The disease is diagnosed by the presence of small, yellowish spots of deteriorating tissue sloughed off from the coloured or outer covering of the retina. Vision loss from Stargardt disease generally begins to occur within the first 20 years of life, particularly in early childhood. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when retinal damage will occur, or how fast it will progress, because variations can occur even among family members with similar inherited tendencies. Symptoms of the disease can include blurry or distorted vision, inability to see in low lighting and difficulty recognizing familiar faces. In late stages of Stargardt disease, color vision also may be lost. In some cases, a person with Stargardt may reach middle
age before vision problems are noticed. Progressive vision loss can eventually lead to blindness in some cases. Mike grew up in Round Hill and became involved with the community while in high school with the local fire department. He took a job out of high school that limited the time he was home; this, in turn, limited his ability to volunteer for the fire department. Three years ago he started to work for Banack Farms and has been able to again become a very dedicated member of the fire department. Early in February, Mike found out he had been accepted for clinical trials where a procedure would remove stem cells from his spinal cord and inject them into his eyes. The procedure was scheduled to be done in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida on March 3. Mike and his mother, Ruth, quickly made plans to travel, do the pre-procedure medical tests and finance the non-covered procedure. The procedure went well and following a post-op checkup they were able to return home March 6 to recover. Any recovery of his sight could take months to occur – it is now a waiting game. This event raised awareness of Stargardt disease and during the planning a couple of other families in the Camrose area came forward – as far as Mike knew he was the sole local sufferer of this disease. They have started a dialogue about the disorder and will monitor how Mike’s procedure works and if there are any improvements in his eyesight. It has given them hope for the future.

RCMP conduct fraud investigation March 24 A call was received about an erratic driver travelling north on Highway 21 near Armena. The vehicle was described as a white sports car, weaving back and forth in his lane and travelling at a high rate of speed. No
driver description was available. March 23 An individual attended the front counter at the RCMP office to say she answered an ad in a local newspaper about being a secret shopper. After extensive email commu-
nications and receiving a cheque in the mail, the individual was suspicious about the origin of the funds and went to the bank only to be notified the funds did not match the individual issuing the cheque. This matter is still under investigation.

The chief executive officer of the Camrose Association for Community Living (CAFCL) asked me, as a parent of a child with autism, what I wanted people to know about Autism. Autism is known as a complex developmental disability. The condition is the result of a neurological disorder that affects normal brain function and development communication and social interaction skills. There are five things you should know. Ordinary sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches are not ordinary to a person with autism. I hope you can relate to how sensitive light can be to someone with autism through this illustration. Remember at recess just after a fluffy snowfall? The snow is white, you are excited to get out in the bright winter sun to make forts, slide down the hills and throw snowballs. If you looked at the snow it was so bright on your eyes that it hurt. And when you came inside your vision was so weird you could hardly see. That is what many children with hyper acute sensitivity to light (a common occurrence of autistic people) experience daily. Fluorescent lights of a classroom are the worst culprits! My child’s world is full of the same possibilities, hopes and dreams as any other child. Help out in all the small ways you can – focus on dreams, support ideas, treasure moments and encourage. When you say things like “That cost an arm and a leg” or “Feeling a bit under the weather” a person with autism does not understand you. They think concretely. The first time my son, Max, heard “that’ll cost you an arm and a leg,” he was buying his first chocolate bar by himself. He ran from the store and curled up in a ball on the street by our car. I sat down on the road beside him hugged his trembling body and asked what was he thinking. He said, “Mommy I don’t want the man to chop off my arm and leg, I had enough money, you gave it to me.” People with autism don’t understand their own feelings and don’t know how to tell you about them. Social situations are excruciating for some people with autism because they do not read the underlying messages. They cannot tell what your body language is saying or what a certain facial expression means. They are not weird, they just don’t understand the socializing thing. My work as a parent was focused to help my son by coaching him, coaching his friends how to talk with him and how to enjoy his genuine friendship even if he seemed weird. Every April 2, the Canadian Association ‘Autism Speaks’ spearheads awareness of World Autism Day. The campaign is called ‘Light It Up Blue.’ I challenge everyone to wear a blue shirt or replace the lights of your front door with a blue bulb to show support of awareness of autism. Camrose Association for Community Living serves people across East Central Alberta. For more information, please contact the office at 780-672-0257 or visit their website at www.cafcl.org.

Shelly Delueg, left, was honoured by Joann Reinhart for her 30 years as a Unit 1 and 3 nurse at the Covenant Health St. Mary's Camrose Milestones Awards.
“You display many daily qualities that emulate the Sisters and their mission,” she said. “You are a true front line leader who goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure patients receive the best care. You instill hope and motivation to each individual patient, helping them reach their goals. “You pushed the entire medical team to their full potential. You find creative and innovative ways to provide rehab services. You have worked with Augustana students, organize outpatient services, and you bring fun and laughter to the entire team. You congratulate team members on how hard they work and show them that the hard work leads to success.” Five nominations were received for the Sisters of Providence Award. Other nominees were: Kathy Henderson, the dietary team, Melissa Sztym and Janice Throndson. Cherylyn thanked everyone for their dedication to St. Mary’s. “Together you represent 765 years of commitment to the hospital,” she said.

Q.
Why choose hardwood?
A.
The flooring that’s beautiful by nature. Hardwood’s beauty and character grow on you. Today’s offerings are milled and finished using techniques that result in much lower maintenance than in years past. So you get the character you want for your home in flooring that’s designed to stay looking great for years. Hardwood is a natural. The natural grains, knots and imperfections of hardwood are true to nature and lend your home a warm, authentic flavor that will impress you for years. Fill your home with character as you prepare to fill it with memories. Versatile hardwood. Hardwood sets an indelible tone throughout the home that is time-honored and true. From the warm, pale tones of southern yellow pine to the deep, dark chocolate of black walnut, there are many species of hardwood to choose from. One of them is sure to resonate with you. While there’s much to consider in creating the desired look, style and long-term performance of your floors, know that you’ll find beautiful flooring that’s made affordable at Wideman Carpet One. Plus, the experts at Wideman Carpet One are always available to assist you personally and answer any questions you may have.
Q. A:
I forgot to include something on my tax return and it has already been filed. What should I do?
This kind of situation can be remedied. Adjustments can be made to aany of the last 10 tax years.
If you forgot to include income then you should certainly file an adjustment. Making an adjustment before CRA catches it will avoid a penalty. If you wait for CRA to discover it, they will charge a penalty of 20% of the missed income if it is the second time in four years that you have failed to report income. You may also be assessed interest on any resulting tax owing. Investment and RSP withdrawals are the most commonly forgotten types of income that I see. If you forgot to include something that is advantageous to your return then you may want to file an adjustment to reap a refund. The most common types of adjustments I have done are for medical expenses, RRSP contributions, moving expenses and to claim tuition credits. We answer questions for free! Stop by our office if you have questions about your tax situation. Answer provided by:

Q. A:
When’s the ideal time to count on a professional real estate agent?
The answer is – always! As your Realtor, I help you buy or sell at the time of a life transition. Often, real estate is bought or sold at the happiest times of life – when marriage looms, a new baby is on the way, when the kids are growing or when a client receives a raise or needs to find a perfect space for a new business. By the same token, real estate can also change hands due to the loss of a loved one, divorce or job loss. As a Realtor, it is an honour to be a part of this time of change for people and it is a privilege to help guide my clients through uncertainty and the important decisions surrounding home ownership. My job is to be there for you to help ease the stress of evaluating, buying and selling a property. I provide skilled advice to help you determine the right value for your home, and; I can assist with helping you understand the paperwork, the financing, the legal requirements, the home inspection process and all the time consuming but important details involved. Helping people achieve their goals through a time of transition is my passion and I would be honoured to work for you! Answer provided by:

“Oh, cool, you’re an Interior Designer. What exactly do you do?”
A:
A common misconception is that Interior Designers spend their time picking out paint colors and throw cushions, but in reality, there is a whole lot more to it than that. Designers need to have at least a general knowledge about all aspects of a home. They need to have a deep understanding of codes and how homes are constructed. Dimensions: Designers have great ideas but it is also their job to figure out how to build it. Plenty of math and problem solving is involved to ensure their idea will actually work. Getting to know the client: They really need to get personal with you to make your space work better. It’s all about functionality. Budgeting: Communicating with contractors and suppliers to create a firm estimate. Managing the process: Designers spend plenty of time coordinating tradespeople so that there are few delays, and making sure that all the product is ordered and ready on time. Often, hiring a designer seems like an unnecessary expense, but in the long run you’ll find that the expertise is worth it. Answer provided by:

Q.
We’re building a new fence this spring. What do we need to know?
A:
We can help you with every step oof the process, from pre-planning to sstaining! The first piece of advice we ccan offer you is this: make absolutely ccertain your fence will be built entirely on your own property. Accuracy is imperative. We can give advice as to whether a construction permit will be required. Count on us for information on setting posts accurately for durability, longevity and efficiency. Often customers don’t put sufficient thought and planning in the size and type of gate needed in their fence. We’re experienced with this. Perhaps of most value to you will be advice on the type of material you will want to choose for your fence. Our service to you will include pointing out the differences in fence materials ranging from spruce to cedar to vinyl. Pressure-treated materials versus non-treated. And, this leads to selecting the right hardware and other components to complete the job. An important element will be staying on budget. We can accurately quote your fence. Our goal is to supply pricing information to you in less than 24 hours – always! Homeowners helping homeowners! That’s us! Answer provided by:

Q.
How important are vitamins and mineral supplements to me?
A:
The supplements we sell can play a highly effective role in your life. They can be effective in increasing energy, reducing stress, improving performance, detoxifying your body, etc. They cannot however, take the place of nutritious meals, a balanced diet, recommended exercise programs or getting adequate rest. They also cannot replicate the benefits of regular medical check-ups or trusting the advice of our pharmacy team. The primary function of vitamin and mineral supplements is to fill in nutrition gaps in your diet. North Americans can be light on calcium, potassium, vitamin D and vitamin B12, for example. People with certain illnesses can benefit from nutritional supplements that we recommend to improve or regain their health. Certain supplements we offer can aid Canadians in coping with long winters. There can be advantages for post-menopausal women to take certain supplements, too. Used wisely, and relying on our advice, there is solid documented research to support the health benefits of supplementing missing nutrients in the body. Unfortunately, no matter what the TV infomercials may say, there are no magic cures to melt fat away or turn 100 pound weaklings into super humans! Answer provided by:

Q.
Why is condo living so popular with many people?
A:
Choosing to live in a condo over a single family dwelling is a welltthought-out lifestyle choice for people oof all ages and all walks of life. In rrecent years I’ve noticed more people of much younger ages settling into condo-living. The reality is not everyone wants to have the burden of lawn and garden care and snow removal. Busy professionals and childless couples love condo living too, as do people who prefer to travel extensively. Alberta “snowbirds” frequently take condos over other residential property choices as do people with families living far from the Camrose area. The common perception is that living in a condo is costly. It is actually less expensive than other forms of home ownership. Heating costs, taxes and maintenance costs can be significantly less expensive. Also, condo living is often right for people eager to make new friendships or those seeking relationships. Condo residents are often a tight-knit social group with frequent opportunities to socialize and celebrate. I currently have some excellent condo properties available for your consideration. Give me a call…. Answer provided by:
Q. A:
Treating unique men’s health issues represents a significant portion of our busy practice. Men seem to be more skeptical than women about coming to our office for a consultation and treatment. In fact, it is often wives (or girlfriends) who encourage their favourite men in to see us for a wide variety of aches, pains or chronic issues! Fatigue ranks as one of the primary reasons for visits from our male clients. We’ve had terrific success using the science behind acupuncture and acupressure in renewing men’s stamina, productivity and zest for life. Old sports or workplace injuries rank a close second. Injuries to knees and shoulders are frequent and often typically thought to be ‘forever’ problems. We frequently turn these challenges into former health issues. If we can’t “cure the problem” we can most certainly reduce the symptoms. Providing lasting relief is always our goal! Erectile dysfunction is one of those medical issues we hear about frequently (and not just with our older clients). Our treatment plan has helped many men who suffer from this challenging situation. Don’t be shy to see us. We’re here to help! Answer provided by:

Q.
What are your best general travel trips?
A:
1. Take photos – the ultimate souvenir. 22. Use commons sense but don’t be afraid. Most people are friendly and trustworthy. 3 Get off the beaten b 3. track. Experience the real country you are visiting. 4. Slow down. Spend more time in fewer places. 5. Keep a travel journal. 6. Don’t over-plan. Often the best travel experiences come from spontaneous decisions. 7. Pack less stuff. 8. Stay healthy: get rest, eat healthy, stay hydrated. Exercise more and drink less alcohol. 9. Get lost on purpose. Find out where the “real” people work, eat and live. 10. Eat local food. Ask local people for recommendations. 11. Don’t judge the customs or traditions of others. 12. Take earplugs. 13. Keep in touch with those at home. 14. Don’t fret the small stuff. More buses will come. Laugh at the food you didn’t enjoy. 15. Splurge a bit. Life is short. 16. Have duplicate copies of everything important. 17. Stash some cash – just in case! 18. Take a bandage and a jacket. 19. Travel more. Some of your best memories will be your trips. Answer provided by:

Q.
Why are Vision Credit Union’s Farm Equipment Operating Lines of Credit so popular?
A:
Our agriculture experts understand the business of farming. We can relate to the risks of everchanging prices and fickle weather. We know about high input costs and empathize with farmer’s low margins. We have developed a unique line of credit for farmers which addresses temporary cash squeeze situations: grain for which there is no current market, remarkable fertilizer and fuel costs, surprise and costly breakdowns, the high cost of upgrading equipment. In retrospect, maybe we should have called it the “Murphy’s Law” line of credit because it’s designed for dealing with the untimely and unexpected! And now for part two of an already really great opportunity: When you have loans or deposits with Vision Credit Union, you are an owner, as well as being a member. So, you will also share in our profits! Annually, we have paid attractive dividends to our member-owners. Did your current bank give you back 25% of the interest you gave them over 12 months? In 2014 our members shared their proportionate share of our profit. The average profit shared over the past 5 years was 26.25%!
Q. A:
Which window coverings will enhance my home’s natural beauty while retaining functionality?
Custom wood shutters are the u ultimate investment in your windows. T They offer the very best in versatility whether you are looking for something contemporary, something timeless or something in between. There is a wide selection of options available, making it easy to customize them to your practical needs and personal tastes. Choose from a range of popular paints or stains, or color-match your new shutters to carpeting, wall coverings, other window treatments or any element of your existing interior design. Shutters can also be made into specialty shapes to add beauty to any window located anywhere within your home. A few of the options include bifolds, café panels, french door cut-outs and arches. There are many options to choose from to make your shutters your own. There are six hinge finishes and several frame styles, as well as three different louver sizes for the ultimate in view through. Add a divider rail or split tilt to maintain privacy while still allowing natural light in. No matter what your window style, custom wood shutters are a naturally beautiful investment in your home. See Dion at Wideman Paint and Décor about selecting and installing the custom wood shutters that are right for you. Answer provided by:

Q.
How do I prevent running related injuries?
A:
• A proper warm-up is key: For example, a progressive jog of 10-15 minutes can prepare the appropriate muscles for your workout. Dynamic stretching can also be involved in your warm up. • Avoid progressing your mileage and intensity too quickly. Many running related injuries are a result of too much, too soon. If you are new to running, it is recommended that you follow a program that allows appropriate time for volume and intensity progressions to meet your personal goals. Rest and recovery days are an important component of any training program. • Change up the surfaces on which you are running. A variety of terrain such as trail or cross country running can prevent overuse injuries that result from repetitive stresses caused by flat surfaces. • For those suffering from a running related injury, cross training is a better alternative than complete rest. If you are suffering from a running related injury, I recommend seeking care from someone specializing in sports related injuries or who are runners themselves. Keep your running simple, listen to your body and most of all have fun!

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. BILL PENNY – C.P.G.A. Master Golf Professional has been teaching Maximum Golf since the mid-’80s to over 2,500 students. Now available to the Camrose golfing community.
Sessions start Tuesday, April 21: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30-8:15 p.m. Location: St. Patrick School, 4816-53 Avenue

The Camrose Wildcats female atom hockey team was stuck in the same division as the eventual gold medal winning Lloydminster Blazers at provincials at the Recreation Centre March 19 to 22. However, the local team gained valuable experience for the future. Camrose coach Kathy Watters knew she had a young team going into the provincials, but she wanted her eight- to 11-year-old players to learn from the higher competition. Lloydminster beat the Calgary Jets 3-1 in the final. Camrose lost to the Calgary Ice Queens 9-0, Lacoka (LacombePonoka) 5-1 and 2-0 to the Sturgeon Mustangs in the round robin part of the tournament. Lloydminster doubled the Stettler Storm 4-2 and the Jets defeated the Ice Queens 11-1 in the semifinals.

orchestras, solo recitals and collaborative work. An intelligent, refined, highly sensitive and disciplined artist, Després’ performances and recordings are praised by critics who cite his “crystal-clear pianism,” and his abilities “to bring humanity, integrity and an enormous expressive range to the pieces.” His “pianistic control is flawless, the sonority magnificent, and the playing is utterly and consistently clear.” Since his 1978 debut with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Després has appeared as soloist with many orchestras under the baton of conductors including OttoWerner Muller, Franz-Paul Decker, Jens Nygaard and Simon Streatfield. Després’ tours have included performances aired on CBC radio and at summer festivals in North American and Asia. Notable recordings include a world premiere of the complete piano works of Joseph Martin Kraus and the Kraus’ complete chamber music works on the
Naxos label, which received widespread critical acclaim and exposure. Brendan Lord
Brendan Lord holds a Bachelor of Arts (Music) degree from Augustana University College, and Master and Doctor of Music degrees in Choral Conducting from the University of Alberta. While studying for the Doctor of Music degree, Dr. Lord was awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship, a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Fellowship, and a University of Alberta President’s Award. His thesis, entitled Jonathan Dove’s The Passing of the Year and Other Works for Chorus and Keyboard, was awarded Choral Canada’s 2014 national award for Outstanding Thesis or Dissertation. His principal conducting teachers have included Dr. Marc A. Hafso, Dr. Robert de Frece, Dr. Debra Cairns, and Dr. Leonard Ratzlaff. Dr. Lord is recognized for his unique blend of artis-
tic and administrative abilities, and works frequently in both capacities. As administrator, he is executive director of the Alberta Choral Federation where, under his leadership, the organization has grown into the largest provincial choral organization in Canada: in 2012-2013, the ACF’s activities involved 20,000 choristers, conductors, music educators, and choral music enthusiasts. Artistically, Dr. Lord has worked with choirs of varying ages and abilities, including the Sherwood Park Festival Singers, the Edmonton Public School Board’s All-City Children’s Choir, and the Cantilon Children’s Choir. Between 2009 and 2012 he was a member of the choral faculty at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta, where he conducted Sangkor: Augustana’s Women’s Choir and, during the 2010-2011 academic year, was the interim conductor of The Augustana Choir. In addition, between 2005 and 2012, Dr. Lord was a sessional instructor at the University of Alberta (North and Augustana campuses) where he taught courses in the areas of conducting, music theory, and musicianship. Also active as a church musician, Dr. Lord has served as University cantor at the University of Alberta’s Augustana Campus and is currently the director of music at McDougall United Church in downtown Edmonton.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, March 31, 2015 – Page 26
Main Street Society interested in starting a farmers’ market By Dan Jensen
Let the Hunt begin My name is Laurel and I am a sugar addict. Whew, that is off my chest. Easter is in a few days and while I’m looking forward to the glee on my little ones’ faces when they discover that a fuzzy bunny has indeed hidden presents and candy around their home, I’m also dreading the seemingly inevitable fight to eat the candy in the days fol-
lowing Easter. It also concerns me that the religious significance of a holiday can become lost amidst the mounds of sugar. Teaching my children about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins should be my focus this season. This Easter I am determined to start new traditions, to avoid over-sugared children, sugar-induced arguments and sniveling (isn’t that a great word?). I headed off in search of new goods for The Hunt. I found all sorts of great things to choose from: sidewalk chalk, markers, colouring books, glow in the dark dinosaurs and wands, bubbles, kites, stickers, pencils. For the first few years of my daughter’s life I was so careful about the sugar she had. Then one day it suddenly felt like sugar was everywhere. In goody bags from birthday parties, at the bank, the book store, the jewelry store, the market. And like mother like daughter, the more sugar she has, the more she craves. I’m not entirely sure when my love for sugar began, but I can recall as a teenager eating Halloween candy until I felt ill, night after night, until it was gone. I was so disappointed as a teen when it became apparent that I was getting too big and too old to trick-or-treat. When I was 18, I made a discovery – my boyfriend (now husband) and I took his 11-year-old sister and her friend out and voila, it was suddenly socially acceptable to go door-to-door seeking sugar handouts. My favourite holidays are the ones that are traditionally sugar-filled: Christmas, Halloween and Easter. Thanksgiving? Ummm, there’s no chocolate beside the turkey so is this really an event? My husband once suggested that this is the main reason I wanted to have children – to bring back more of the glee at these events that I remember from my childhood. I am just a big kid, after all. A few Christmases ago, I overdid it in the sugar department and just a glance at a cookie or hard candy made me feel ill so I decided to go off sugar until my mid-March birthday. I gave up juice, cakes, pies, gummy candies, you name it, and for the first six weeks or so I didn’t mind. The last few weeks were difficult, and then once I finally allowed myself to devour that cherry chip birthday cake, I was startled to realize that my body was shocked by the sugar. The less I had, the less I wanted. The more sugar I had, the more I craved. I suppose this is true for any healthy versus unhealthy practice: the more I exercise, the more I want to exercise and so on. Overuse of sugar has become a problem in our society. Processed foods may be quicker to prepare, but they’re not what our bodies need. Making seemingly small healthy choices on an ongoing basis can definitely add up. While I don’t want to take away chocolates and gummy candies completely from Easter Sunday morning, I’ve decided that most of the hidden goods will be for spring fun which will bring my children delight for days and days to come. And who knows, maybe it will become all the rage to hunt for plastic eggs filled with carrot sticks alongside plastic eggs filled with candy. Happy hunting!
The Camrose Historic Main Street Society (CHMSS) is interested in leasing the old fire hall. Main Street Society coordinator Janet Hatch told committee the whole council the old fire hall would be an ideal place for a downtown farmers’ market, a flea market and community events. “There are a lot of similarities with what we have downtown at the fire hall and the Old Strathcona farmers’ market. In addition to the space inside the garage, the outside would be very usable, especially in the summer months, so the number of vendors could be significantly increased.” Hatch said having a farmers’ market at the fire hall would benefit downtown in a lot of ways. “It would offer an experience. It wouldn’t just be for groceries of a few crafts. People who go to farmers’ markets often want to satisfy all the senses – have an experience with music and friendships and be able to take part in something.” Hatch said the flea market would encourage the downtown economy and provide an opportunity whereby other types of products and services could be sold on a weekday. “It would be a place for people to sell their hockey equipment or Girl Guide cookies. With having the university so close and many of those students having no transportation, this would be a close link and make things available to them. I have heard that with Liquidation World moving out that took away an opportunity for students to get out and buy things.” The proposal to lease
has the backing of City of Camrose economic development coordinator Ray Telford. “If CHMSS can proceed with this project it will dramatically enhance not only downtown Camrose but the entire City of Camrose for retail, arts and culture and tourism,” said Telford. Hatch noted in a written report that a reasonable goal for the first year of the farmers’ market would be to attract 150 to 200 customers each time it is held. “The farmers’ market would be held weekly on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The flea market would be weekly on a Wednesday or Thursday from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.,” she said. “Both markets would run 12 months of the year and would only be closed if a day fell on a holiday.” A presentation from a student-based group from Augustana in 2011 that identified short term and long term projects for downtown Camrose suggested that a farmers’ market would result in higher levels of traffic on market days, with 50 per cent of customers making stops at neighbouring businesses before or after the market. A July 2014 article by Grant Rice entitled The Economic Impact of Shopping at Farmers’ Markets said that, “depending on location and other variables, farmers’ market shoppers tend to spend approximately 60 per cent in additional dollars at neighbouring businesses.” Hatch said the goal of the market would be to have 100 per cent local vendors. “Right now with the Alberta Farmers’ Market Association there is an allowance of 20 per cent that is not local, but a lot of
the very successful markets go with 100 per cent local.” Hatch explained the old fire hall is a building with its own characteristics. “Very few City-owned buildings could be considered historic resources and that is what makes this building unique,” she said. Other uses Hatch also sees the old fire hall as a good location for community events like the Scarecrow Festival, and for offices of CHMSS, Downtown Camrose Association, Tourist Camrose and other not-for-profit societies. “There would be the benefit of being able to share equipment,” she said. “Community Futures is on board to relocate if their funding continues. They are uncertain right now but if they are accepted to go they would happily relocate.” Currently the City of Camrose provides a building for the Rural Alberta Business Centre on the east side of town. Need to study City councillor Bill Sears expressed excitement about having a farmers’ market downtown, but suggested there would be a need to have discussions about the lease rate and what the CHMSS can afford to pay. Councillor Max Lindstrand advocated the need for the City to do more planning before making any final decisions. “I would like to look at our inventory of properties and come up with a plan for what we intend to do with them rather than react to one proposal,” he said. Councillor Wayne Throndson said he would like to see a report that would detail the cost of renovating the old fire hall and the cost of utilities.

Few people would pass up the opportunity to look younger. But you can still have younger, healthierlooking skin without going under the knife. The following are a handful of natural ways to keep skin vibrant and youthful. • Quit smoking. Quitting smoking can add years to your life and improve your appearance. Smoking damages collagen and elastin in the skin, which are the substances that help keep skin flexible and firm. • Drink more water. A dehydrated body will divert water to the organs that need it the most, including the liver and heart. When that happens, skin pays the price by not receiving adequate hydration for skin cell renewal. Drink six to eight glasses of water per day. • Exercise. Working out promotes good cardiovascular health which delivers blood flow and nutrients to the surface of your skin. • Avoid alcohol. Drinking alcohol in excess can damage blood vessels over time. This can cause burst capillaries at the surface of the skin, which are highly visible. Drinking also may lead to flushing, which can affect appearance. • Avoid stressful situations. Stress can lessen your body’s ability to function properly, and that can affect the appearance of your skin. Stress-related insomnia can lead to undereye bags and a tired appearance. Stress can increase your risk of skin diseases and may cause wounds to take longer to heal. • Eat a healthy diet. Your skin is the largest organ in your body, and it makes sense that healthy foods will benefit the skin. Omega-3 fatty acids found in walnuts, flax and fish oil are important

City, County working to protect water source The City of Camrose and Camrose County are partnering with Battle River Watershed Alliance on a new initiative that will protect the Battle River and Driedmeat Lake as a key water source for the City of Camrose, the Village of Bittern Lake and the residents of Ohaton and Braim. “The Camrose Source Water Protection Plan will look at all the lands in the Camrose region that regularly contribute rain and snowfall run-off to the Battle River and Driedmeat Lake upstream of the Highway 56 weir,” said BRWA watershed planning coordinator Sarah Skinner. “A healthy environment provides a strong foundation on which to build healthy communities and economies.

BRWA provides suggestions for water management By Dan Jensen The Battle River Watershed Alliance is encouraging City council to take additional steps to manage and reduce non-point source pollution of local streams, Stoney Creek, Driedmeat Lake and Battle River. “The things that you do can have a very important impact on water quality in our watershed,” explained Battle River Watershed Alliance watershed planning coordinator Sarah Skinner at a committee of the whole council meeting. Skinner defined non point source pollution as pollution that comes from diffuse sources that cannot necessarily be pinpointed. “It is pollution that is carried through surface water runoff,” she said. “When we have a storm or snow melting in the spring, it (runoff) is picking up a pollution from a number of different sources that eventually makes its way to our lakes and streams and Battle River.” Skinner pointed out that managing non point source pollution can be as easy as upgrading riparian areas, planting rain gardens with native water-loving plants that are located strategically to capture stormwater runoff (often near downspouts or other locations where stormwater pools), using permeable pavement that reduces the volume of stormwater runoff by allowing rainwater and snowmelt to filter into the ground, using rain barrels or other means of water storage for garden watering, and using plants on rooftops to retain and utilize rain and snowfall
Cows and Fish staff conduct a riparian health assessment along the Battle River as part of the BRWA’s Ferry Point Reach Riparian Restoration Program.
before it even reaches the ground. “Low impact development techniques are about managing storm water as close to the source as possible,” said Skinner. “Maintaining vegetation along storm water retention ponds is a way of purifying and cleaning water before it gets into our streams.” Battle River Watershed Alliance (BRWA) is also encouraging council and the councils of other municipalities, including Camrose County, the County of Wetaskiwin and County of Ponoka to develop source
water protection plans for ground and surface water sources in the watershed so that the water can be cleaner by the time it gets to the water treatment plant. “They (the plans) can happen at a local scale or on a regional scale, depending on what works in the different areas of the watershed,” said Skinner, adding that they can include limiting livestock access to natural water sources and dugouts, utilizing conservation/minimum tillage and applying only the amount of manure and fertilizer needed to
meet annual crop nutrient uptake rates. “You need to look at what you can do to ensure that the water quality upsteam of the water intake is as good as you can make it.” The City of Camrose and Camrose County jointly approved a proposal from BRWA to assist in the development of a source water protection plan for those areas within the city and county which drain into Driedmeat Lake. As the lake is the sole water source for the City water system (which also serves a number of County residents), the City and County both recognize the need to protect the lake from physical, chemical and biological contamination. The BRWA feels that the City of Camrose can prepare for dry years by developing drought adaptation and management plans that include development restrictions in certain areas, increasing water storage capacity and introducing ways to conserve and re-use water. Skinner noted that while a hospital in Calgary has underground rain water storage tanks that are used to water trees, current residential building code restrictions make it difficult to do things like recycling dishwater or shower water for use in toilets. Councillor Bill Sears said that the recycling of grey water in homes is something that has been talked about for 10 years, with no progress. “We have to consider this if we want to move forward.” City director of engineering Jeremy Enar-
son told council that City administration has developed a drought response plan to bring together in one single document all the initiatives to deal with the use of water in normal or drought situations. “The water use bylaw identifies how the city reacts when there is a water shortage,” he said. The Battle River Watershed Alliance is one of 11 watershed planning and advisory councils in the province that are committed to ensuring that Alberta has healthy aquatic ecosystems and reliable quality water supplies for a sustainable economy. Since releasing its State of the Watershed Report in 2011, the BRWA has been working with municipalities, agricultural producers and agricultural to develop recommendations on how to best manage the land and water. “We have developed recommendations now for drought management, for non point solution management and for source water protection, and we are currently working on developing recommendations for riparian area management,” said Skinner. “With our drought management work we looked at how drought is currently managed in this part of the province, across the province and in other provinces across Canada. We looked at how various topics are being dealt with in other places and how those strategies could be applied here.” The complete recommendations are on the BRWA website at www.battleriverwatershed.ca/watershedmanagement.

2015 Ford F-150 Better than ever before
Dan Madison
By Dan Jensen
The 2015 Ford F-150 at Lamb Ford Sales in Camrose has the highest EPAestimated fuel economy ratings of any full-size gasoline pickup on the market. When equipped with the available 2.7 litre EcoBoost engine the new Ford F-150 4x2 has estimated 14.9 litres per 100 km city, 10.9 litres per 100 km highway and 12.8 litres per 100 km combined fuel economy ratings. Two smaller turbochargers, instead of one large one, pump air quickly into the combustion chambers, generating a virtually instantaneous surge of ondemand power. The flex-fuel 3.5L TiVCT V6 is engineered to handle demanding everyday jobs while keeping operating costs as low as possible. It has a five per cent higher power-to-weight ratio than the previous 3.7 litre V6 and can tow up to 3,447 kg, a 408 kg improvement. The 3.5 litre EcoBoost delivers 365 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque. Direct injection technology draws optimum power from every drop of fuel, while twin air-to-air intercooled turbochargers provide the surge of on-demand power when you need it. The proven, durable 5.0
litre V8 has 385 horsepower and 387 lb.-ft. of torque, which has improved from the 2014 model year. This engine has a 16 per cent higher power-to-weight ratio than before. The engine was built with twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) technology. With conventional valve cam timing, the intake and exhaust valves have to open and close at a fixed point, compromising performance. But Ti-VCT virtually eliminates this compromise. Variable control of valve cam timing optimizes performance across the entire low, mid and high ranges of the power band to match the driving conditions, all the while burning fuel with impressive efficiency. The standard electronic six-speed close-ratio transmission has a wide gear ratio for responsive low-end performance and enhanced fuel efficiency at the higher gears. The selectable tow/ haul mode improves performance when towing or hauling heavy loads. It compensates for grade and load and reduces gear hunting to improve on power delivery. Engine braking also helps slow the truck when descending hills. The available SelectShift® automatic has two modes of operation: Pro-
gressive Range Select lets you limit the range of gears to lock out overdrive for consistent speed over hills and mountain ranges. With Full Manual mode, you can go all the way up and down the gearbox, staying fully in control. Lighter
The new Ford F-150 is lighter by up to 317 kg thanks to the use of military grade aluminum that is the same high-strength grade used in the aerospace industry. Aluminum is resistant to dents and corrosion and its scrap can be reclaimed and sent back into the manufacturing process to minimize waste. The new fully boxed frame is made of more highstrength steel (more than 70 per cent at 70,000 psi) and larger cross sections than the previous frame. And while stronger and more rigid, this frame is lighter because many of the components are fabricated using the state-of-the-art roll-forming process that minimizes weight. Ford torture-tested the F-150 in labs, over highaltitude passes and through desert valleys, while hauling huge loads and towing heavy trailers at temperatures from -29 to 49 degrees Celsius. Ford also put F-150s in
the hands of people in heavy industries such as mining and construction who really know how to take a pickup to the extremes of durability. The cab redefined
The F-150 cab was redefined to help you work smarter and more productively. One hundred and 70 degree swing-out rear doors on SuperCab make for easier entry and exit, loading and unloading. The fully flat load floor has more under-seat storage space than ever – now in both the SuperCab and SuperCrew®. The new power sliding rear window is a seamless piece of glass with a power sliding centre section that seals tightly when closed and allows for the use of the defroster even when open The beltline of the doors was lowered by up to two inches and the front pillars were moved forward to improve visibility. The available classexclusive 360° camera with split-view display and dynamic hitch assist uses four cameras – one in the grille, tailgate, and under each of the sideview mirrors. The system enables you to see all sides of the truck and surrounding area by stitching the imag-
es together and displaying them on a centre stack screen. It’s helpful when manoeuvring in tight parking spaces, job sites and trails. The dynamic hitch assist feature provides a line-of-sight guide in an instrument panel display to help direct your hitch ball to the trailer receiver. The new available LCD productivity screen on the instrument cluster (part of SYNC® with MyFord Touch®) provides updated information from fuel efficiency to towing tips. You can create a customized “MyView” home screen to access your most frequently used screens in one place. The menu includes gauge setup, trip computer, fuel consumption, and towing/ off-road applications. The productivity screen is standard in F-150 Lariat, King Ranch® and Platinum. A 4.2-inch LCD productivity screen is optional in F-150 XL and standard in XLT. The F-150 has lots of places to store the assortment of things you carry inside the cab – plus nearly twice the front storage space than before. You can see the 2015 Ford F-150 at Lamb Ford Sales, 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2411 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Stang recalls truck from his youth By Murray Green
Brent Stang recalls fond memories of his youth connecting with his first vehicle. “About 10 years ago I found this 1970 GMC truck and then restored it similar to the one I drove in high school,” said Stang. “I paid $1,200 and put into it about $10,000 over five years when I was rebuilding it.” The truck has all stock parts to keep it as original as possible, including the 350 engine. “Now it is appraised at $27,000, but I’m not sure that I would get that. My first truck was a 1972, so I wanted a similar model to one that I drove,” said Stang. “I was coming into town and taking my daughter to ball practice and I saw this truck at Elliott’s (Auto Care) and I said to myself that I have to have that truck. I always wanted to get one again.” Stang spotted one before, but didn’t close the deal. “I saw one north of town and it was a Longhorn (long box). He wouldn’t sell it to me and then I found this one. I went back to him again and he still said no, so I grabbed this one,” explained Stang. “When I was young I wanted a truck. My dad was a Chevrolet man, so this was a natural choice. My original was bought from Les Zarski with a six cylinder, which was great to learn how to drive in. I wasn’t too much into the muscle cars. I just wanted something that looked good and got me around from place to place,” he added. “My original truck was very similar in colour to this one. We tweaked it a bit, but it is close.” Stang put his personal touch on the truck. “It took me a year just to do the endgate. I wanted to customize it a little bit. I was watched the television show Overhaulin’ and they stole his truck and put “Fuss” on it (star Chip Foose) and put a decal on it. I thought, I can go one up on ol’ Chip Foose, so I made a stamp and pressed that into the metal. We cut out the GMC and stamped “Stang” instead.” The original yellow pine feature was even restored to the floor of the box. “Most guys restore with oak, but the original boards were made from yellow pine, so that is what I went with,” said Stang.

Rotate your tires By Dan Jensen
Rotating tires is something that many people do religiously while others put off the task until they notice a problem with the car’s performance. An important component of vehicle upkeep, rotating tires not only extends the life of the tires, but it also helps ensure safer driving. There are some who are unfamiliar about how and when to rotate the tires and the benefits this routine maintenance can provide. This also could be a factor in why people procrastinate on tire rotation. One may not realize that the front tires often bear the brunt of the work in vehicle operation. Making turns or parallel parking requires the force of the front tires. Vehicles that are front-wheel-drive have front tires that supply the main motive power for the vehicle. The frequent use and requirements of the tires produces friction on the road, and eventually heat. The front tires wear more quickly than the rear tires. In order to extend the life of the tires, drivers must periodically rotate them. Tire rotation essentially means moving the front tires to the rear and vice versa. This means the front passenger side tire will be moved to the back passenger side position. The same thing will occur on the driver’s side. There’s a reason for this. Tires have unique wear patterns that are related to the suspension and the alignment. Should you switch the tires in a criss-cross pattern, it could affect the alignment and lead to a bumpy ride. These scenarios can depend on the vehicle and the tire, however. Certain vehicles have tires of different sizes in the rear and front, which prevents front-to-back rotation. There are also cars that have tires that are unidirectional, where they are specific to one side of the car and asymmetrical, with a tread pattern that changes from the inside of the tire to the outside. Though these tires are rare, you can’t rotate them at all. Tire rotation is advisable to preserve balanced handling, traction and even outer tire wear. But how often should it be done? Many tires should be rotated every 7,000 km, even if they don’t show signs of wear. Some service stations will do tire rotation at the same time that oil changes are done because the car is already on a lift.

It is a common sight with which many an automobile owner is all too familiar: A car is stranded on the side of the road with the hood open and smoke billowing out as an exasperated driver looks on shaking his or her head. An overheated engine can render a car useless in a matter of minutes. A vehicle is propelled by an engine that ignites gasoline and causes controlled explosions within. An engine can produce quite a lot of heat. Compound this with external temperatures and an overheated engine may occur. Other mechanical factors can also cause an engine to overheat. These include a faulty thermostat to regulate coolant supply to the engine and even an inoperable radiator fan. Experts say an average car engine is designed to operate within 195°F to 220° F. Anything above that could cause engine failure. Overheating can cause a lot of damage to a car. It may damage and burn holes in the parts. Rings, pistons or rod bearings may become impaired, or one can blow a head gasket. The best way to avoid engine and vehicle trouble due to overheating is to prevent an engine from becoming overheated in the first place. Here are strategies to employ. 1. Ensure that coolant levels are maintained and there are no leaks that would cause coolant to drip out. Be sure the right coolant is being used for the particular vehicle. 2. Dirty, inadequate motor oil cannot dissipate heat as well as clean oil. Check the oil level and viscosity. Change the oil before a long trip or if it looks past its prime. 3. Confirm radiator hoses are in good working order and do not look worn out. 4. Check that the radiator fan is working and that there is adequate air flow through the radiator. 5. Be aware of engine temperature by watching the gauge on the dashboard. If an engine seems like it’s about to overheat, here are some steps to take. Slow down, and pull into the right lane. Turn on the heat in the car and open the window. This may draw heat out of the engine block, while maintaining a slow pace can continue to draw air over the engine. Pull over and open the hood to allow the engine to cool. Top off the radiator with coolant. Water can also work in a pinch. Take frequent breaks during long road trips to allow the engine to cool down for at least 15 minutes. Be sure to clear the radiator from obstructions, including leaves or insects that may have collected.

CAFCL celebrates completion of barrier free home By Dan Jensen
Camrose Association for Community Living supporters were able to tour the new home they helped build at a March 24 open house. The home will provide six housing spaces, three of which are barrier free, for vulnerable citizens. CAFCL chief executive officer Esther McDonald expressed appreciation to everyone who was part of the project. “We stand here today in this beautiful home because of the partnerships, the combined efforts and the collaboration of all of these people put together,” said McDonald. “Together we have created safe and affordable housing in the city of Camrose.” Guests at the open house included members of City council, local builders, assistant deputy minister of human services (disability division) Brenda Lee Doyle, and regional director of disability services (central region) Blaine Gillis. McDonald expressed the wish that the new home would be filled with the sound of laughter, friends
Camrose Association for Community Living board chair Jason Schiele, Zetsen Master Builders co-owner Kevin Lindholm, Camrose mayor Norm Mayer, regional director of disability services (central region) Blaine Gillis and Camrose Association for Community Living chief executive officer Esther McDonald display a home sweet home banner in the barrier free building located behind the CAFCL Burgess Building.
new and old, sunshine and light, new beginnings, family from near and far, comfort, safety, peace and love. “May those who dwell within,” she said, “be blessed with good health and much happiness always.” The new home was built at an approximate cost of $680,000, with half of that money coming from the pro-
vincial government. Camrose City council agreed to sell the land to CAFCL at fair market value with restrictions while Zetsen Master Builders, with the assistance of Camrose Rotarian Ron Grue was responsible for the construction. The home’s lower level has three independent, sep-
arately accessible suites for those who need more support than they would be able to receive from living in an apartment. “They will still have staff support from upstairs with meals or some of the other things they struggle with but they will still have their independence,” said McDonald.
Gillis asked City council last summer to continue the positive approach towards supporting both children and adults with disabilities by approving the development of the home. “Your town has been enriched by its diversity,” said Gillis. “You will be better for it.”

WHAT IF… The illusion of female power It should not go without notice that the annual ritual of sexual objectification known as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition arrived on magazine shelves and in sports lovers’ mailboxes last month. This issue of the magazine sells Yvonne Becker, ten times more than any Physical Education, other issue. UndoubtAugustana Campus, edly, this increase is due University of Alberta to photo after photo of bikini-clad models that fill the pages, including the front cover. Many continue to ask what these women have to do with sport, but the answer remains elusive. Back in the 1960s, the concept of the swimsuit edition was launched to continue interest in the magazine between sport seasons. According to Hannah Davis, the cover model of the 2015 edition, modelling a bikini is “empowering.” The question that begs to be asked is how the choice of being sexually objectified can become an act of empowerment, and even be described by a surprising number of women in contemporary society as a feminist act. The answer seems to lie in Meghan Murphy’s concept of “choice feminism,” which means that when a woman is seemingly free to choose, then that choice is empowering, “no matter what the choice actually is.” What is missing from this thought process is an analysis of what actually shapes the choice being made: in the case of the Swimsuit Edition, it is the reality of living in a culture that objectifies women’s bodies and therefore values them primarily for that. Sociologist Lisa Wade describes this as a “patriarchal bargain,” as a decision to accept limiting gender rules and roles in exchange for “whatever power one can wrest from the system”. Women turn to events and activities that draw focus to their partially-clad bodies as some sort of celebration of fleeting, limited power that they can grasp; as one former burlesque performer lamented, “…so we can feel a little bit better about the hand we’ve been dealt.” What is that hand? On the occasion of International Women’s Day (March 8), a study was released that revealed that women living in Alberta “are among the most disadvantaged in Canada.” Lahey, the study author, states that in this province, women face higher income gaps, unpaid work gaps and after-tax income gaps than women living anywhere else in the country. She goes on to report that these differences are a result of a mix of Alberta government policies, including low support for child care and the flat tax system, leading women to seek part-time work or feel less able to work if there is more than one child in the family. Women in Alberta do most of the labour in the home, averaging 35 hours of unpaid work a week, whereas men only complete 17 hours. As well, women’s full-time earnings were 63 per cent of men’s in the last comparison done in this province. These are certainly not empowering circumstances. Under these circumstances, choosing “flexible” parttime work or to stay at home with the children is often a choice determined by necessity. Is it such inequities that send women in search of any power that can be realized? When I see a mostly naked woman on the cover of a magazine directed largely at men, I don’t think, “Wow! She is empowered.” As a society, we need to look beyond women’s bodies as sources of empowerment and exploitation, to see more clearly the social, political and economic context in which we live.

The Government of Alberta has tabled amendments to the Municipal Government Act (MGA) to better serve Alberta’s municipalities. The proposed legislation represents consensus items that were identified by the Government of Alberta and its municipal partners, during the extensive MGA review process. “The legislative amendments are an important milestone for the Municipal Government Act,” said Diana McQueen, Minister of Municipal Affairs. “The proposed changes will give our communities the legislation they need to grow and thrive. We look forward to continuing to work with our municipal partners and key stakeholders over the coming months towards the completion of this important review.” If the Bill is passed by members of the Legislative Assembly, the MGA review will have entered the second phase of the process, as laid out in Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in January by Premier Jim Prentice, Minister McQueen and the presidents of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties (AAMDC). Amendments to the legislation are in line with the recent MOU signed with municipalities and include: enhancing municipal accountability and transparency; accountability and conduct of elected officials; public participation; open council meetings; petitioning processes; enabling more efficient municipal operations; public notification methods; roles and responsibilities of council and administration; enhancing municipal viability; municipal corporate planning; voluntary municipal amalgamation; strengthening municipal and intermunicipal planning; annexation requirements; hierarchy and relationship of plans; subdivision and development appeal board training; Continued on page 54

Melvin Harvey Schurek June 18, 1943 – March 22, 2015 Melvin Harvey Schurek of Camrose, formerly of the Big Hay Lake area, passed away on Sunday, March 22, 2015 at the age of 71 years. For many years, Melvin was employed in the retail grocery industry. In later years, he enjoyed doing handyman work and yard maintenance for the Moussa Group, until his retirement at age 63.

Born in Spruce Grove, AB on February 18, 1918, Harvey moved to the Wetaskiwin area near Gwynne and founded Bethany Homes for Children in 1948. He was called “Daddy” by many children in need of a home and was superintendent/ director until his retirement. He continued to live in Wetaskiwin, and became an active member in the Wetaskiwin Mission Church. Always loving to talk, he found it easy to get to know many residents and became well known in the community. In 2010, he was honored as Wetaskiwin & District Heritage Museum’s Pioneer of the Year.

Seniors’ Chat
Maria Lobreau, Camrose and District Home Support
Spring arrives, our weather turns warmer, our days get longer and we tend to want to clean up our living spaces. For some of us, spring cleaning can be as simple as spending a couple weekends
deciding what to “keep,” “recycle,” “sell,” and “throw away.” For others, this process can be overwhelming. If you are reading this article and are overwhelmed by the mere thought of getting rid of possessions, rest assured you are not the only one who feels this way.
The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) in a United States survey revealed that 54 per cent of Americans felt overwhelmed by clutter and 78 per cent had no idea what to do with it. The problem can be aggravated by age, physical disabilities, mental disabilities, depression, life changes, death of a loved one, severe illness or birth of a baby. Many people have reasons for keeping so many things in their homes. Reasons include: they may get rid of something they will need later, they do not want to waste things, they are attached to things, they could forget an occasion or date or meaning, they are not able to clean up by themselves, they live in a small space so clutter is inevitable, they do not have time for this task, and they cannot decide what to get rid of. These are all reasons to keep things, yet these things can get in the way of living today, planning the future and can make daily tasks difficult. What is the difference between someone who has clutter in their home and someone else who is a hoarder? Clutter is defined as a confused collection, clotted mass, crowded or confused group. The accepted definition of hoarding is “a debilitating disorder characterized by the acquisition of a large volume of possessions that clutter living areas to such a degree that living spaces cannot be used for their intended
purpose (Steketee, Frost, & Kim, 2001).” In Edmonton, the Seniors Association of Greater Edmonton (SAGE) offers This Full House program which addresses the complexity of dealing with years of accumulated possessions, compulsive hoarding and helps people seek positive ways to change their life. This program provides education about the behaviours, teaches new methods of dealing with possessions, and helps people reach out to others to support them and celebrate their successes. If you are looking for method to de-clutter and then organize a space, the “Configuration Connection” suggests these 4 C’s: • Categorize all of your things into groups or piles. For example all plastic bowls go with plastic bowls. • Cleanse – this is where you trash, toss and shred all outdated and unwanted items. Ask yourself these questions: “Do I need to keep this? What will I use this for? How long has it been since it has been used?” Answering these questions may help you clean out more items. • Configure a space for the items that you want to keep. This step may include measuring the items that you have left and purchasing containers for them or it may be as simple as placing them in the right drawer. Continued on page 50

Kodiaks take lead in series with Brooks Bandits By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks continued to stay on fire after eliminating the Dragons by defeating the Brooks Bandits 4-1 and 4-0 in the first two games of the Alberta Junior Hockey League south division finals in the EnCana Arena. “Its been a really good series, fast-paced with good systems played on both sides,” said back-up netminder Reid Kilburn, who has the best view in the arena. “We (teams) hate each other and no ones likes to lose. Our guys have played well and they have been entertaining games.” On March 28, goalie Devin McDonald earned a shut out by stopping all 39 shots he faced. “We play a defence first game and it shows with the scores. We have only allowed one goal in two games. We have been able to capitalize on our chances and we didn’t give them much,” Kilburn said. Camrose came out strong and had a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes. Spencer Kryczka and Nelson Gadoury supplied the tallies with the first marker coming on a power play. “One thing we were trying to focus on is coming with
a shift after shift mentality and wear them down by coming at them hard. We wanted to skate them into the ground and not give them any footholds,” added Kilburn. Scott Ferguson added a goal in the opening two minutes of the second frame and Ryker Leer notched a goal in third after 37 seconds of play. The Bandits didn’t know what hit them in the first game as Leer, Gadoury and Cam Gotaas all bent the twine in the opening period. Brooks pushed back in the second with a tally, but Ferguson scored a shorthanded marker in the third to stop the Bandits’ comeback bid. McDonald turned away 26 of 27 shots for the victory. Camrose also had 27 shots directed at the Brooks cage. Kilburn said he enjoys watching the action and supporting McDonald as he prepares to have a busy season next year. “It is a really good experience watching these guys sacrifice everything in the playoffs.” Bear facts
If game five is needed in the south division finals, it will be in the EnCana Arena on April 3 beginning at 7 p.m.

Magical season ends on high note for bantam Hawks
Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Camrose Hawks bantam hockey team captured the league championship in Camrose on March 21 with a 6-3 win over Drayton Valley. Members of the championship team include, back row from left, head coach Peter Fenrich, Chase Chartrand, coach Clayton Elligson, Graham Walger, Jarvis Harris, Braydon Carter, Jasper Robbins, Tyler Ellingson, Ryley Preza-Mairena, Aidan Fenton, Wyatt Brodie, coach Rhys Herle and coach Darren Daniels. Front row from left to right, Brant Repchuk, Joey Drager, Kayden Livingstone, Louise Fernadez, Riley Repchuk, Dawson Fenrich and Dennis Enns. By Murray Green
The Camrose bantam 2B Syban Hawks’ season started off like any other season in minor hockey. But, something magical happened to the players on their way to a Highway 16/60 league championship. “We started the preseason off in Leduc back on Oct. 11 after hearing a pregame speech about the three
R’s in hockey – be Respectful, be Resilient, be Relentless. In the final minutes of that game, with the goalie pulled, the team scored to win the period 4-3 and leave us with a 9-9 tie,” explained coach Peter Fenrich. Then it happened. “After dropping the next game at home we started a winning streak that saw us put together 29 straight
league wins on our way to winning the league championship in Camrose on March 21,” said Fenrich. Camrose won the final game 6-3 over a tough Drayton Valley squad in the Border Paving Arena. “True to what they were told before their first game, they finished the season with the fewest penalty minutes. They had only two
players play all 31 league games, but found ways to win as a team and cover for those who could not be there. The players showed a relentless pursuit of excellence that saw the fewest goals given up by a team and most goals scored,” added Fenrich. After giving up nine goals in the first game, the team went on to post nine shutouts. The turnaround
made the players champions along the way. “Their level of composure, commitment and consistency over the season is something they should be truly proud of,” said the proud coach. The Hawks also had the honour of going to the bantam B provincial tournament in Devon as the Zone 7 champions and were proud to represent Camrose. “While they ended up in a pool with three of the top Tier 2 teams, they impressed viewers with their commitment to playing 60 minutes of hockey without frustration and doing the best they could. Despite three losses they exceeded most people’s expectations and came away with an incredibly positive experience,” said Fenrich. “From a coaching perspective, it was incredible to see the group go from a locker room that would make most libraries look like dance parties to gaining familiarity with each other and joking around and then to the point of some disagreements too. I can truly say I watched them go from a group of strangers to a team and then to a family. Like they say “friends come and go, but family is forever”. Hopefully these boys will remember their hockey family of 2014-15 fondly for years to come.”

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.

Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society nominated for an Emerald award By Murray Green
Camrose has been named a finalist in the 24th annual Emerald Awards. The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society reached the top three in the Community Group or Not-for-Profit Association category for an Emerald. The Alberta Emerald Foundation announced on March 27 who would be taking another step towards receiving the coveted environmental award. Camrose joins Aseniwuche Winewak Nation of Canada and its Caribou Patrol Program project in Grande Cache, and Bellevue’s Fish and Wildlife Crowsnest Pass program, Bearsmart, as the three finalists. The 24th annual Emerald Awards will be presented on June 4 at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton. Over the few past weeks, a panel of knowledgeable third-party judges with cross-sectoral experience rose to the challenge of narrowing down the brilliant examples of creativity and environmental dedication that were nominated this year for the uniquely-Albertan award. “Every year the Emeralds tell the stories of our most beloved and cherished Albertans, our environmental stewards,” said Raquel (Rocky) Feroe, three-year Emerald Award judge. “The Emerald Awards are a great way for anyone with a love for our province to learn from our best.” Alberta Emerald Foundation chair Alan Ross agreed about helping the environment. “We are the only foundation in the country to recognize the important work of environmental leaders across all sectors,” said Ross. “By honouring and elevating the ingenuity, dedication and hard work of these individuals and organizations, we inspire others to follow their example, benefiting all Albertans with a healthier and cleaner environment.” The Emerald Awards recognize and reward outstanding environmental initiatives undertaken by individuals, not-for-profit associations, large and small corporations, com-

The Battle River Community Foundation has awarded grants totalling $1,850 to the Camrose Arts Society to assist the Camrose Children’s Choir. The grants were awarded from income earned by the Hugh and Betty Irving Fund, the Harry M Kuntz Memorial Fund and the Sue and By Reesor Fund. All three funds are donor advised funds. They allow the donor to recommend projects to the Foundation for funding. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects 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 community programs.
Olson receives a hand By Murray Green
MLA Everett McDonald of Grande Prairie-Smoky has been named the associate minister of Agriculture and Rural Development to assist Minister Verlyn Olson in his duties. Olson is taking a few weeks off to recover from some personal health issues. “I am proud that he will be receiving ground-breaking medical treatment here in Alberta. He remains a valued member of my cabinet and I wish him a speedy and full recovery,” said Premier Jim Prentice. “To ensure that important agricultural issues continue to be handled at the cabinet table, I have asked McDonald to take on new responsibilities working with Minister Olson as his associate minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. Everett brings decades of family farming experience to the table and an understanding of current issues in rural communities.” “In addition, I have asked Diana McQueen, Minister of Municipal Affairs, to take on additional responsibility for Alberta’s action on climate change. She brings her background in the environment and energy portfolios, and her strong working relationships with local communities, to a file that will require significant government attention in the months and years ahead. She will work closely with Kyle Fawcett, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development and all of her cabinet colleagues, in a whole-of-government approach.”
