Sir William Mackenzie, the businessman and visionary who was affectionately labelled the ‘Railway King,’ extensively promoted the Canadian Northern Railway. This Railway expansion was the primary driver for the development of hundreds of communities in Western Canada. January 23, 2015 marked the centennial of the ‘Last Spike’ of the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway. The CNoR is significant to the history of Camrose and area. Service to the new rails leading to Camrose began in 1911.

The Railway King is a “story theatre” production made possible with support of the Mackenzie family, Camrose and area actors, costume assistance by ChurchMice Players, and the time and talent of many volunteers arranged by Camrose Heritage Railway Museum & Park. The evening includes piper David Samm and a book signing by author Rae Flemming. It will be presented on the brand new stage of the Pentecostal Church in City Center Camrose on April 17 and 18, with shows beginning at 7 pm. For more information call 780-672-3099.

What clients are saying about Trevor…

“

and honest, that’s Trevor. We were first-time buyers looking for a home in the Ryley/Holden area and Trevor didn’t hesitate to drive out here and show us houses. We looked at nine properties in the area. Later, after talking with Trevor, we decided it might be good to buy in Camrose because the resale values hold up well and the selection is much better. He was very knowledgeable and steered us clear of houses he thought were overpriced or didn’t fit our needs. We felt he was really looking out for us. After viewing another eight properties in Camrose, we found the right one and are taking possession on May 4. Trevor is friendly, a real pro and just a good guy. We’ll definitely call him when we’re looking for our second home.

Life-like Appearance

At least four candidates will be running in the next election in the Battle RiverWainwright constituency on May 5. The 29th general election will elect members to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The 2011 Election Amendment Act fixed the election to a three-month period, between March 1 and May 31 in the fourth calendar year after the preceding election day. With the departure of MLA Doug Griffiths on Jan. 26, the seat has been vacant and is wide open this time around. He narrowly edged out the Wildrose in the last election, by just over three per cent. It is a slate of all new names this election. Ron Williams is the nominee for the Liberals, Gordon Naylor is representing the New Democratic Party, Blake Prior is the Progressive Conservative candidate and Wes Taylor is the Wildrose nominee. Candidates have until April 17 to file papers to confirm if they are running in the election. Williams ran in the federal election in the same area as a Liberal. Information on Naylor is unavailable at this time. Prior and his family operate a mixed farm northeast of Irma. He is a fourth generation farmer on the original homestead for more than 100 years. Outside of the farm he has been employed and involved in the oil patch for over 17 years. Prior is involved in many community organizations, including Elks, Kinsmen, 4-H, minor hockey, and hall and church boards, holding various positions within these organizations. Taylor is a businessman who owned and operated a real estate company in Wainwright. He has an education degree and has taught at schools within the riding. He currently operates a storage business, is a general contractor and is a volunteer firefighter for Wainwright Fire and Rescue. Election day in Alberta has been scheduled for May 5.

Museum trying to solve financial difficulties By Dan Jensen

The finance committee of City council will be meeting with the board of the Camrose and District Museum Society this week in what could be a last ditch effort to keep the museum open. Society president Will Voth and secretary Len Bell told council in an April 6 meeting that the museum society no longer has an employee and may soon be forced to disperse its artifacts to other museums in the province. “If we are not running the artifacts they will just sit there and gather dust and not be enjoyed by anyone,” said Bell. “They should be sent to other museums so they can be enjoyed.” Council budgeted approximately $34,000 for museum operations in 2015, but is hesitant to forward any more of the $13,000 it has already handed over for curator wages until it can get a better handle on how the museum has been spending its money. “We don’t want to see it closed and yet we need to figure out how we can keep it open and have things done in a proper accounting fashion,” said Mayor Norm Mayer. “We have to find solutions because the museum is an important part of tourism.” Camrose and District Museum Society has been unable to answer to council’s satisfaction what has happened to reserves that were once as high as $40,000 or why it received a letter from Canada Revenue indicating that it is in arrears with remitting deductions from employee pay cheques. “Canada Revenue can’t explain it (arrears),” said Bell. “I talked to a guy who had been there for 25 years. He went through the system

trying to find the discrepancies and he couldn’t find anything. As far as he could tell everything was paid up properly.” The society has been unable to find T4 documents that it was asked by council to present to the City finance department for examination. “We have searched through all the storage records and everything to try to find them,” said Bell. The society feels its poor financial state is in part due to dwindling government grants. “Just like the City of Camrose, we at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum depend on summer students to ensure the many tasks are completed,” said Voth in a March 9 letter to the mayor. “Having these summer students

costs the CDCM quite a bit of money every year that we have been paying for out of pocket, thus depleting all of our reserves, as grants only cover up to 70 per cent of the cost. Furthermore, under new rules we discovered this past summer these summer students are to require fulltime supervision. We cannot afford that with one parttime employee of 27 hours a week.” Voth feels the reliance on volunteers is one of the reasons the books of the museum are not where they should be. “A lot of our volunteers don’t have very much experience when it comes to accounting and record keeping,” he said. “You get what you pay for, so if it is unpaid volunteers who are doing the accounting this is what happens.”

The museum’s payroll account has a balance of just $2. Provincial museum regulations say that if a museum disbands, its artifacts have to be distributed to other museums in the province. “We would have to start the dispersal process immediately because it does take some time,” said Bell. “We have to send out written letters to museums in the province. They have to take a look at the list of items that we have and then respond to us saying which ones they would be interested in. It is a timely process.” Councillor Greg Wood said while it would be a shame to see the museum disappear from the community, there are a number of operational issues that need to be addressed.

“The unremitted deductions are a concern. I think before the City puts more money into the operation we need to get a better handle on how this is going to operate going forward. I am not sure if council can take a few weeks and ponder the future here or not but I can’t see us giving any more money in the short term.” Councillor Wayne Throndson said the matter is beyond council’s control. “We (the City) own the building but we don’t own the contents and we don’t own the society. We could ask for more time to get the material we have requested but we have requested that before. I don’t think we are in a position tonight to change the motion that we made previously that was not to advance more funds beyond the allocation we have already made.” Councillor Max Lindstrand suggested that council work a little more closely and cooperatively with the museum to see what the City can do to assist with the management. “It is certainly an asset to the community that we can ill afford to lose,” he said. Bell invited members of council to be part of the museum and even attend board meetings to see what is happening on a regular basis. Throndson said a meeting with the finance committee would help the City determine whether there are any stones that are left unturned. “I don’t think there is a chance of cutting costs. I think the society has done an admirable job in terms of trying to cut costs. And in the absence of revenue, I just don’t know what we do.”

Province provides funds for Highways 13/21 roundabout By Dan Jensen

The provincial government is going ahead with plans to build a roundabout at the junction of Highways 21 and 13. “It is planned for this construction season at a total cost of just under $5 million,” said WetaskiwinCamrose MLA and Alberta Agriculture Food and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson. The roundabout has been designed by Al-Terra engineering, which held an open house on the project at the Norsemen Inn in August, 2011. “We are hoping to advertise the tender for the project this spring so that work can get underway over the summer,”

said Alberta Transportation director of communications Erin Gregg. Crews will build a temporary on site detour to accommodate traffic during construction. Studies conducted in the United States show that roundabouts reduce collisions of all types by 40 per cent, reduce injury collisions by 75 per cent, and reduce fatal and incapacitating collisions by 90 per cent. “They are smaller than traffic circles and larger than traffic calming circles,” said Phillip Weber, from Ourston Roundabout Engineering, which conducted a study for the provincial government in 2009 that indi-

cated that Highway 13 and 21 traffic safety would improve if the traffic signals that are currently in place were replaced with roundabouts. Weber noted that the Waterloo region has built more than a dozen roundabouts and that a recent project there was selected as the preferred alternative, through an intersection control study, to replace a signalized intersection that was scheduled to be widened in response to traffic growth. A study done by EBA Engineering Consultants in 2006 on the safety performance and operation of the Highways 13 and 21 intersection indicated that, in 2004, the aver-

age annual daily traffic on Highway 13 was 8,150 vehicles per day east of the intersection and 2,450 vehicles per day south of the intersection. The study also showed that over 44 per cent of west bound vehicles turned north from Highway 13 onto Highway 21, that over 37 per cent of westbound vehicles continued west on Highway 13, that over 92 per cent of eastbound vehicles continued east on Highway 13, that over 63 per cent of northbound vehicles turned east from Highway 21 onto Highway 13, and that 78 per cent of southbound vehicles turn east from Highway 21 onto 13.

Olson said while there are concerns with roundabouts, the big advantage is that they reduce the number of serious collisions. “It is important to understand that these roundabouts are not like the traffic circles you find in larger municipalities like Edmonton. This roundabout will help with the efficient movement of traffic.” The roundabout was one of three approved by the provincial government in the March 26 budget. The others are at Highway 2A and Highway 597 near Blackfalds, and at the junction of Highways 23 and 519 northwest of Lethbridge.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Too busy

Have you noticed there’s a lot of it going around? No time, no time, no time; in a hurry; and when there is a moment (or even when there isn’t), being non-stop bombarded with electronic messages and information. It’s almost a badge of honour to be “too busy.” Universal observation In the years when I worked on a lot of projects that involved federal, provincial and municipal governments, I had an almost universal observation. Whatever you might think about political and administrative people, my first-hand observation was that most government people, most of the time, were going full tilt and beyond. Yes, I met a few with a big sense of entitlement and a small sense of the public good. But they were a tiny minority. Most really were “public servants” in the best sense of that term. And they were swamped. They were booked into non-stop meetings and appearances and had multiple deadlines. At any moment they were subject to interruptions because something had changed and everyone’s “to do” list or plan for the day was zapped – but none of the deadlines went away. Some people were incredibly effective time managers who seemed able to remain calm in tumultuous circumstances. But it seemed to me that many people, most of the time, had integrity, high purpose, intelligence and competence and were nevertheless so over-extended, that it was almost impossible to accomplish things that would have been in the public interest. Horrible thought Looking at how busy and pressured the political people were, and how busy and pressured the administrative people were, one day I had a horrible thought: Most of our important public policy decisions are made by people who are exhausted, over-extended and don’t have time to think! In fact, their schedules are set up to make it almost impossible to take time to think or learn or be exposed to new possibilities or take a long view. No matter how hard they work or how busy they are, there is only one thing both political and administrative people can count on: they will be criticized for not doing enough or not doing the right thing. What’s even worse is that I myself am sometimes one of the people who slings zingers – even though I have seen first-hand and had my own small-scale experiences of what it’s like to be the elected or administrative government person. Could anything be done about this? I once read about a company whose president insisted on “Silence Breaks.” Every Thursday morning, nobody was allowed to speak to or in any other way communicate with anyone else. During those mornings, everybody was supposed to take time to think. Be still and quiet. Do nothing for a while. Not the usual instruction from your boss! According to the article, productivity went up. Profits went up. Remarkable. I never had the courage to suggest that idea to any of my employers, and when I set up my own company did not follow that practice either. Too busy! But perhaps, just perhaps, something as radical as “still and quiet breaks” in all of our lives and homes and workplaces and communities would create unexpected benefits. One more thing This started out to be a column about my own terror of an unstructured moment; of what would happen if I were not “too busy.” By immediately flipping my thoughts to all those other “too busy” people, I was cleverly able to avoid looking at my own part of the problem!

Kingman REA is considering selling their assets to Fortis Alberta. I agree with the Board of Directors that it isn’t feasible to carry on in the current form. While the REA volunteers have done an amazing job to this point, the complexities of today’s power line industry require professional management. The information meeting held at the Kingman Hall on March 28 left me with a few questions. Questions that could have been asked at the meeting and information around statements made. Fortis stated that they have many people (PLTs) I believe the number was thirty within a half an hour available to restore power. How many customers do these PLTs look after? There are some major industrial customers and more concentrated residential customer areas close to us that come into play. Use of contractors to supplement Fortis staff if

need was also mentioned. I worked for various power line contractors in Alberta from 1971 until 2008 and we worked for whoever was prepared to pay us. Most utilities have mutual aid agreements in the event of catastrophic events. In my mind contractors and mutual aid are nonissues. Cost of pole change was also mentioned and the answer was that Fortis would be able to spread the cost over a wider customer base. My question for this is how many more poles and upgrades are planned in the Fortis system? More customers to share the cost as well as significantly more costs to share. Alberta being the only place where REAs exist was mentioned. While Alberta may be only place in Canada where REAs exist, REAs in the United States are common. The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) has over nine hundred members serving forty two million people. REAs are a cooperative and there are many examples of successful cooperatives in Alberta and Canada. The major question in my mind is the REA is only accepting the potential purchaser’s value for the assets not pursuing other options or getting an independent assessment of the value of the system. The Fortis representatives at the meeting were professional, pleasant and polite, remember they work for Fortis not the REA. The decision regarding

sale at the April 18 meeting will be made by majority of the members present, it is important that you attend. Larry Flemming, member of Kingman REA for 32 years Cut some slack

Today, my daughter and I drove to Camrose for an appointment. On our way back out of the city, we were stopped by a red light on the hill heading east. We were a little slow pulling away from the light, a circumstance that appeared to be a problem for a lady in a black car who was behind us. She saw the need to pass on the inside and shout in through the open window, “Learn to drive!” She then moved into the lane to turn left, and graced us with an inappropriate hand gesture as we passed by. I would just like to clarify, for the benefit of that lady: that’s exactly what the driver of our yellow car was doing. My 15-year-old daughter was driving in heavy traffic for the first time. She had never done a hill start before. She was driving a vehicle with a standard transmission. Given the circumstances, I thought she did a pretty good job. What ever happened to giving people the benefit of the doubt? Would showing a little bit of patience really have been so hard? We don’t know anything about the strangers in the vehicles around us; maybe we should all cut each other just a little bit of slack. Emma C Allen, Wainwright

BRSD will feel pinch of provincial budget Camrose By Dan Jensen

The 2015-16 budget tabled in the Alberta legislature March 26 had good news and bad for the Battle River School Division. The good is that the PCs will honour its collective agreements with teachers, who will receive a two per cent salary increase this fall, and provide funding for the construction of a new Bashaw School as previously promised. The bad is that the PCs will reduce by 3.1 per cent the funding the division needs to pay non teaching staff (educational assistants, librarians, administrative assistants, family school liaison workers, bus drivers, maintenance staff) purchase materials and supplies or operate buses. “School divisions have some tough decisions to make,” said BRSD superintendent of schools Rita Marler. “It will be difficult to maintain current levels of service.” Seventy-six per cent of the BRSD’s $79.95 million in budgeted expenditures in the 2013-14 school year went directly to student instruction, while a further 6.77 per

cent was allocated to student transportation. Operating and maintaining school facilities took another 13 per cent of the expenditures. The reduction in the amount of money for transportation, combined with a four per cent increase in the fuel tax is expected to present the most significant challenge, considering that the BRSD transports 4,000 students to school each and every day. “It appears that transportation grants are not being reduced as much as some other areas,” said board chair Kendall Severson. “But adding a four per cent tax at the pump means that the cost of running a school bus just went up, while the grant went down.” “Our buses travel 12,000 km a day,” said BRSD communications officer Diane Hutchinson. “There used to be a transportation grant that would kick in whenever fuel went over a certain amount but that was done away with in 2013.” The division will be required to serve approximately 100 new students

(the number projected by the government) in 201516 with no additional dollars. But BRSD is better off than the school divisions in centres like Edmonton or Calgary, which will have to make do with the same amount of funding in the new budget year as they have in the current one despite increases in student populations numbering in the thousands. ATA president Mark Ramsankar said while the PCs’ emphasis on protecting front line teaching positions is commendable the budget still entails significant cuts to funding at a time when boards are facing increased costs. “They would have you believe that students will not be harmed by the budget but school boards will be unable to handle these funding cuts without increasing class sizes and eliminating crucial support services to students and teachers. “By next year ninety thousand more students will have been added to schools over eight years. The teaching population lagged behind student growth and now the

government is failing again to fund enrolment growth. The situation is going to get progressively worse this year, next year and the year after that.” BRSD officials were on pins and needles before the budget, questioning whether the construction of the Bashaw School would still be allowed to go ahead, or whether construction would be forced to be cancelled once it started. BRSD currently has 347 full time equivalent teaching positions. The total amount of base funding received from the government for this current year (September 2014 to Aug. 31, 2015) was $67,718,000. Battle River School Division trustees will have their first chance to digest the budget at their April 9 meeting, which is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. “Our task between now and when we have to submit a budget for next year back to Alberta Education at the end of May,” said Marler, “is to review information carefully and make a plan that is focused on providing quality education to students.”

police recover stolen property April 7

As a result of an ongoing investigation in regards to a reported theft at a business, two Camrose males were identified and later arrested for being responsible. A 27-year- old Camrose man was charged with the theft and possession of stolen property and released to attend a future court date. The second male, a 19-yearold from Camrose, was charged with the theft and possession of stolen property, as well as three additional charges for breaching his court ordered conditions. He’s been remanded into custody by a Justice of the Peace. Police recovered the stolen property and returned it to the owner.

Brynes’ stop in Rose City a rare treat By Murray Green

Blues musician and actor Jim Byrnes will be sharing his love for music at the Bailey Theatre at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 17. Byrnes lives and breathes music. For nearly 50 years he’s crooned, drawled, belted, hollered and sweet-talked more songs into a microphone than most people ever get to hear in a single lifetime. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri, in blues country. He grew up on the city’s north side where one of the neighbourhood bars had Ike and Tina Turner as the house band. As a teenager going to music clubs, he and his buddy were often the only caucasian people in the place. “We never had any problems. We were too naïve and had too much respect for the music and culture. They knew it, they could tell,” said Brynes, in his website biography. By age 13, Jim was singing and playing blues guitar. His first professional gig was in 1964. Over the years, he has had the great good fortune to appear with a virtual who’s who of the blues. From Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker to Taj Mahal and Robert Cray, he has been on the blues highway for 45 years. Byrnes moved to Vancouver, BC, in the mid-70s after years of drifting, working odd jobs and playing music everywhere he could. In 1981, he put together a band that became a staple of the local music scene. In 1986, the Jim Byrnes Band played 300 nights. His fame as an actor grew from his television and movie roles with highlights including the Wiseguy and Highlander series. His first love has always been the blues. His evocative, smoky vocals are found in a truth that doesn’t come overnight. In 1981 he released Burnin’, followed in 1987 with I’ve Turned My Nights into Days and 1995’s Juno-award winning That River. Brynes has made five albums in six years since he hooked up with Steve Dawson, one of North America’s most critically acclaimed roots music producers. His 2004 Fresh Horses and the 2006 release of the gospel tinged Juno Award winning House Of Refuge set new standards. My Walking Stick was the 2009 release that mixed gospel, blues, rockabilly and country genres in a unique bluesy way. A little more than a year later, the same team got together to produce Everywhere West, a salute to Brynes’ origins and influences. In 2012, he decided to record I Hear The Wind in the Wires, an album of songs from the golden age of country

National Volunteer Week April 12 to 17 By Murray Green

Each year, more than 13 million Canadians dedicate countless hours to causes that mean the world to them. Whether you volunteer for your local minor hockey association, at your senior’s centre, or for a service club organization, one person’s volunteer contribution has the power to impact lives, including our own, while strengthening communities. National Volunteer Week from April 12 to 18 is dedicated to both recognizing the important contributions Canadians make to the places we live, as well as the positive impacts volunteering brings to the lives of the people who do it. National Volunteer Week has a long legacy, originating in 1943 to draw attention to the critical contributions women made to war effort on the home front. The initiative was revived in the 1960s to celebrate the growing engagement of civic participation across the country. Albertans have a rich history of volunteering and community involvement and have been celebrating National Volunteer Week for over 20 years. During National Volunteer Week (NVW) communities throughout Alberta and across the nation celebrate the contribution volunteers make in our communities with recognition events and awareness campaigns. In 1990, the third week in April was proclaimed National Volunteer Week in all communities across the country. This week is now firmly established as the highlight of the year for paying tribute to Canada’s volunteers. Local, regional, national and international events intended to involve all aspects of the community are held throughout the week to increase awareness of the important role of volunteers and nonprofit/ voluntary sector and to encourage volunteerism in our communities. Regardless of whether your passion is nature, sports or education, the gift of lending a hand and time has the power to change a community, change a country and even change the world.

Volunteers fill essential roles in community By Laurel Nadon

Camrose resident Angie Bennett still considers herself a newcomer to volunteerism. It’s this behind-the-scenes, seeing what needs to be done and doing it attitude that keeps many community groups going. Bennett worked as a home support aide in B.C. before retiring. After two years of “me time,” she moved to Camrose and began volunteering at St. Mary’s Hospital 11 years ago. She spends between two and four hours each week in unit one and the emergency room, stocking shelves and making sure warm blankets are on hand for patients. Nine years ago, she became a Meals on Wheels driver, volunteering for an hour every four to six weeks on the weekend. Her latest volunteering role is as a cashier for Habitat for Humanity Restore, where she has volunteered her time four to five hours weekly for the past three years. “It makes me feel good knowing I’ve made someone else’s day better,” Bennett said, adding that her volunteering has enhanced her compassion for others and made her more aware of those in need around her. “I had good health, mobility and can still drive and I thought there’s a lot of people

who can’t do that. I just enjoy helping people.” Her favourite part of being a Meals on Wheels driver is saying hello to people who don’t often have visitors. “Some of them will ask a question just so you’ll stay another minute longer. A lot of them don’t have family, or family nearby,” Bennett said. At Habitat for Humanity Restore, she enjoys seeing people’s surprise at what is available at Restore.

“People come in and say ‘I can’t believe I found exactly what I’m looking for,”’ Bennett said. She noted that at the hospital, she tries to see what needs to be done to improve the flow for hospital staff and enjoys short chats with staff. “If I have things in place, it makes their job quicker. I like to be of service to people,” Bennett said. She said that retirement would be boring without her

volunteering roles, and that she’s learning all the time. Bennett said that volunteers are essential to our community, as there would be many lonely people having a difficult time in life without volunteers. The volunteer program at St. Mary’s Hospital has grown immensely in the past four years due to more opportunities being created, said Anna Radchenko, volunteer coordinator for Covenant Health. “There are so many volunteers with different purposes to be here and the common goal is to give back to the community,” Radchenko said, noting that the hospital looks for volunteers offering commitment and dedication. She added that volunteers are typically people who just want to give back, and aren’t necessarily retired. Volunteer opportunities in clinical areas are valuable for students looking for experience. “Volunteers make the duties of staff lighter. There’s a lot of value in long-term volunteers like Angie,” Radchenko said. In honour of 10 years of service at St. Mary’s Hospital, Bennett received a Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Milestone Service Award in 2014.

Mother teaches empathy through volunteerism By Laurel Nadon

Volunteering has become a part of regular routine for the Manaloor family. Volunteering with 18-year-old son Rohan as Meals on Wheels drivers once or twice a month for the past year has given them a sense of teamwork, says Usha Manaloor. “Kids, they watch us. They learn ‘Okay, I have to give back to the community and it’s better to give than receive.’ They will take it to the next generation,” Manaloor said. “You have to demonstrate it and you have to be a role model.” Helping with volunteer roles can boost a youth’s confidence and social skills, as well as give (him/her) a sense of accomplishment in learning something new. Volunteer roles can also be used on a teen’s resume to help nab future employment. Manaloor said she’s noticed that people consider themselves to be very busy, but she feels that time can always be set aside for volunteering. “These people may not see anybody their whole week,” she said of the meal recipients. “If you are motivated to give that time away to somebody, it will bring sunshine to them.” She said, she’s noticed that volunteering reduces her selfish feelings and has increased her empathy for others, which makes the community better.

Manaloor also volunteers with Habitat for Humanity as a family selection committee member, a role she has filled for more than 10 years. Her duties include once a month meetings as well as interviews with families. “It connects you to a community. You think you’re doing a small task, but it really makes a difference in the life of other people,” Manaloor said, adding that it’s rewarding to see the excitement when a family learns they’ve been chosen. “It’s a dream come true for them. Some of them never imagined they would fulfill all the criteria. It really feels good when you help other people, you get a sense of satisfaction.” Fulfilling is the word that

volunteer Sylvia Tentinger uses to describe her time at the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center’s Food Bank. Tentinger volunteers at Messiah Lutheran Church, as the secretary for Friends of Rosehaven, which meets once a month, and began volunteering at the Food Bank five years ago. She is on hand every Tuesday packing hampers and then back again on Thursdays to help answer phones. “There was a need here for volunteers. It’s nice to help out people who need that assistance,” Tentinger said. “I think a lot of organizations wouldn’t survive if there weren’t volunteers. The Food Bank is a good example. It’s all volunteers except for the director Jo-Anne (Tweed).”

Volunteers are essential to many community groups in town, said Maria Lobreau, Camrose and District Home Support Director and Meals on Wheels coordinator. “If we didn’t have volunteers in Meals on Wheels, we wouldn’t have a program. Our program is volunteer driven, literally,” Lobreau said. She has noticed a trend towards fewer and older volunteers, and increased difficulty finding people to join boards and attend meetings in recent years. “If you don’t have a board, you don’t operate. You can’t apply for grants or do casinos,” Lobreau said. Volunteering has benefits for the volunteers themselves, she continued. “They are helping people, they’re feeling good about what they’re doing, they’re contributing to the community. One day they might need that service.” Volunteers also have the opportunity to attend events and experience things that they wouldn’t be able to without volunteering such as plays and musical performances at local venues. Some community members also use volunteering as a way to teach their children life skills such as empathy. “There are a lot of people in our community who rely on volunteers to keep them going,” Lobreau said.

BRCF grant assists Founders’ Hall renewal

Battle River Community Foundation secretary, Karin Naslund presented a cheque for $900 to Bree Urkow, development assistant at Augustana Campus.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $900 to the University of Alberta Augustana Campus to assist in the cost of renewal of Founders’ Hall. The grant was awarded from income earned by the Dianne Johnson Memorial Fund established in 2008 as a donor advised fund. This type of fund allows the donor to recommend projects to the Foundation for funding consideration.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects 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 who have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept

intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations in accordance with the wishes of the donors. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $2,900,000 to support important projects such as the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus Founders’ Hall Renewal.

WHAT I LEARNED FROM JOHNNY CASH Why is it that I am always in line behind people waiting to buy a small coffee and a donut, and paying with their debit or credit card? Our great country mints actual cash! I can understand using a card for a large payment – but seriously – for two dollars?!? And to make matters worse: the chip in the card doesn’t read properly; they have to take out a notebook and look up their pin number; their card is maxed out so they have to go through their wallet for a second or even a third card. WHY!!!??? I’ve never claimed to be the most patient of God’s creation, but this experience tends to bring out the worst in me. It is second only to being in the “10 items or less” line behind someone who is mathematically challenged. And why do people stand and read the magazines at the checkout counter when they could be getting their payment method out of their wallet? There ought to be a law! I had the privilege of visiting Iceland recently. I was at the Tingvollum National Park, a beautiful location where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is clearly visible. The majestic beauty was awe-inspiring as I drank it all in. Alas, maybe I drank it in a little too much, for I suddenly had a strong inclination toward the “water closet.” The designers of this national park had the good sense to locate that “john” just a short half kilometre walk from the observation deck, where this John was standing. I locked my knees together and ‘penguin style’ walked (more waddled) to my water closet destination. I hurried at what I deemed to be a prudent speed under the circumstances. As I arrived at the turnstile lineup, my contortions would have put dancing with the stars contestants to shame. The line through the turnstile moved at a snail’s pace – no, rather at the pace of a receding glacier. Finally, my turn! And there it was, the machine to take my 200 Icelandic krona for the use of the facility. I had a pocket full of paper krona of all denominations, but I had no coins. In my condition jumping the gate was not even a remote option. Finally I saw it – a card reader. I switched carefully to that line, and grabbed for my wallet. I pulled my card out and when it was my turn, shoved it into the card reader. Focused as I was on another urgent matter, I entered my pin number wrong. I took it out and put it in again, this time, upside down. “Focus,” I said to myself. My self said “I am focussed!” Card right side up – pin number correct – the turnstile finally released so that I could at long last enter the promised land. From then and forever onward, my bank statement is indelibly emblazoned with the note that I used my credit card to pay 200 krona ($1.91 in Canadian funds) to use a pay toilet. Now I still think that people should carry cash and use it for small purchases. On the other hand, “Johnny Cash” has taught me to be a little more understanding. So, next time I am in line, I will try to keep my cool as you buy your coffee and donut with your card.

October 3, 1933 – April 7, 2015 Barbara was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 3, 1933. She was the oldest living child of Winnifred (née Fultz) and Jack King. Barbara’s family lived in Winnipeg until Jack became a Paymaster and Accountant for Tashota Mine in 1936. The King family moved to Northern Mining Country and Barbara was raised with her brother, Dennis, at Tashota, Siscoe and Golden Manitou mines. Barbara graduated from Percival County High School in Val d’Or, Quebec in 1951 and applied to attend university in Montreal. As a resident of the Royal Victoria Ladies’ College at McGill, she studied Chemistry and Mathematics but filled her schedule with as many Literature courses as the Science Faculty would allow. Barbara met her second husband Roy Nixon after moving to Alberta with her daughter Diane. Barbara and Roy worked together at Celanese (Chemcell) in Edmonton in an Acetate Fibre lab. Barbara graduated in 1966 from The University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Education. She taught in several Edmonton public schools until after marrying Roy in 1967. They welcomed Tom into the family in 1969 and Elaine in 1970. The Nixons moved to Ottawa in 1971 when Roy joined the Federal Department of the Environment and returned to Alberta in 1973. Barbara worked as a Lay Hospital Chaplain for the Anglican Diocese of Edmonton in the ’80s. She trained hospital visitors and served as an Anglican Lay Chaplain in the Royal Alexandra Hospital. Barbara returned to university once more to complete a Post Graduate Diploma in Language Arts/Reading Assessment in the early ’90s. She never worked in this role, but encouraged all her children and grandchildren to be lifelong readers. Barbara pursued quilting and knitting, family history, and (of course) literature as her hobbies. Starting in 1992, she fulfilled a dream of attending performances at The Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario. Barbara returned to Stratford every year (sometimes more than once) until 2014. Her children and grandchildren were privileged to travel with her to experience Shakespeare’s great works. Barbara passed away after a year-long bout with cancer on April 7, 2015. She has been cremated, as was her wish, and will be inurned alongside her mother and husband. Barbara is survived by her brother Dennis (Louise) King and family; sister-in-law Marian (Ron) Gregory and family; children Diane (Andy) Hobelaid, Tom Nixon (Christy Campbell) and Elaine Nixon (Murray Farness); grandchildren Ruth Sekuloff, Damien (Jessica) Webb, Ben Sekuloff and Campbell Nixon. She was predeceased by her older sister Joanne; parents Jack and Winnifred; and husband Roy. A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 11, 2015 from St. Andrew’s Anglican Church with Rev. Jacques Vaillancourt officiating. At Barbara’s request please consider donations to MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES / DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS, #13527 5857 RR0001 720 Spadina Avenue, Suite 402, Toronto, ON M5S 2T9 (www.msf.ca) or a charity of your choosing, in lieu of flowers.

Marion “Ruth” Herman On April 6, 2015, Ruth Herman of Camrose, AB died at the age of 101. She is survived by son John (Mary Ellen) and their children Barb, Karen (Jon) Baniuk, Michael, Jason (Lisa) Jackson, Joanne (Jim) Lorentz, Keith (Jill) Jackson and Kevin Jackson; son David (Ella) and their children Kathryn (Dustin) Perepelecta and Carolyn; daughter Terry Lord and her children Brendan and Stephanie; daughter Marion (Wally) Sagansky and their children Christine (Dave) Lychak and Michaelina (David) Yaffe; and son Tom (Donna) and their children Ben (Kristen), Becky (Juho) Pelkonen and Andy (Erica). She is also survived by 17 great-grandchildren; four great-great grandchildren; and one brother Gordon (Linda) Forster. She was predeceased by her husband Jim; parents Ed and Edith Forster; brothers Ben, Fred, John, Wilf and Doug Forster; daughter-in-law Julie Herman; and son-in-law John Lord. Mom was born at Sylvan Lake and, at nine months, moved with her family to a homestead south of Killam where she spent her childhood. She learned to cook, sew and garden from her mother and her carpentry skills she probably learned from her father and brothers. She wasn’t afraid to tackle anything! She met Dad (Jim Herman) while taking a business course at Camrose Lutheran College. They married in 1939. In the early ’50s, she went to work as a “ward aid” at Rosehaven. She was troubled by the lack of activities for the patients and finally, after much advocating, was given $500 to start an activity program which she ran herself for several years until funds were allocated for more staff. She taught herself to weave so she could teach the patients who were interested. She was a charter member of the Women of the Moose and a member of Camrose Craft Center. Christmas was an important family time and Halloween was a fun time. She always had some elaborate costume that she had made herself. The year she went to the Moose dance as a Pilsner Beer bottle stands out as one of the most memorable. We always managed to go on a camping trip during the summer and she made time to have as many week-long visits from grandchildren that she could squeeze in during her vacation. She retired from Rosehaven at age 63. This allowed more time for her passion of weaving. She and Dad continued to have a large garden for many years. They travelled to Scotland twice with their good friends George and Mary Woskett and also enjoyed trips to Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, USA, Eastern Canada and the Maritimes. They moved from their house to an apartment for a short time, and then into Stoney Creek Lodge. Mom remained there for 19 years until she began to show signs of memory loss when she then moved to Bethany Meadows where she remained until her death. We will miss her greatly. A memorial service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at Camrose United Church with Rev. Alan Richards officiating. Cremation has taken place and inurnment will take place at Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to the Jim and Ruth Herman Augustana Bursary Fund.

Walter Tomaszewski 1918 – 2002 Thinking of you is not hard to do, Dad, And the memories never fade. The continuous circle of life goes on, As we all get older and age. The memories stay firm and constant, As we remember times we spent with you. If our loved ones miss us as much as we miss you, Then that will be our legacy to you. Miss you so much. All of our love, Your children and loving wife

Campaign underway in Wetaskiwin-Camrose Small business New Democrat Bruce Hinkley, PC Verlyn Olson and Wildrose Bill Rock will focus be vying for the chance to represent the Wetaskiwinneeded Camrose Constituency in the May 5 provincial electhis tion. Hinkley is committed to revoking the health care election levy, balancing budgets, By Dan Jensen

reinvesting in health care, education and infrastructure, collecting fair oil royalties and ending project tax holidays. “I want to take leadership on the things that matter most: health care, education and fair tax changes,” he said. “Rachel Notley and the New Democrats are the only progressive choice for protecting and improving our health care, education and senior care, to end the big corporate tax breaks and get fair tax reform, and to make sure we get fair value and more upgrading jobs from our resources.” Hinkley believes Jim Prentice and the PCs will make Albertans pay more while delivering less in health care, education, and care for seniors. “This will make things harder for families. In the good years of high oil prices, the PCs squandered our resource wealth. Now, they cut health and education, and hit your family with a health levy while profitable banks and rich corporations will keep their big tax breaks. It is just wrong to make your family pay for their mistakes.” Hinkley was a school principal at Smoky Lake for 14 years and has served as volunteer on several community organizations, including the Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and Wetaskiwin’s Tiger Athletic Association. He finished third out of five Wetaskiwin-Camrose can-

didates in the 2012 provincial election, receiving 1,578 votes (11.02 per cent of the total votes cast). He was also a candidate for the NDP in the provincial election of 1993 and a candidate for the Forum Party in the provincial election of 1994. Olson feels the provincial budget released on March 26 will be one of the major topics discussed in the election campaign. “It is a brave budget and I give the premier and the finance minister a lot of credit for it,” he said. “I believe it is a measured approach to dealing with the fiscal problems facing Alberta. Using money that has been built up in the contingency fund will allow the government to continue to build much needed infrastructure.” Olson believes the government’s decision to obtain more revenue for the health care system from taxes as opposed to premiums shows that it has been listening to Albertans. “There were a couple of issues with health care premiums,” he said. “One was just the administrative cost of collecting them and the other was that in a lot of cases the costs were passed along to the employers, of which our government was

one. We felt that if we were going to bring back anything that related to payment for health care that it would be most efficient to have it as part of the tax return.” Olson knows there are a lot of people questioning why the government has called the election now as opposed to a year from now. “I will point out a couple things about that,” he said. “One is I cannot remember a time in Alberta history that we have had the kind of events that we have had in the past year with a sitting premier leaving, a new one coming in, the floor crossings. I think all of those things would certainly be good reason why people should be given an option to have a say in which party they want to form the government.” Olson said if a general election was not called there would be a need for a number of by-elections. “Having by-elections followed a few months later would cost a lot of money, not to mention the fact that we have a brand new Wildrose leader who doesn’t have a seat in the house. This is an opportunity for him to run in a general election.” While he is confident about his chances of being

elected, Olson never takes anything for granted. “I respect my opposition whoever they are and I give everyone who is running in an election and getting involved a lot of credit, no matter who they are running for,” he said. “It is a big commitment by the candidates as well as their families and all their supporters. I am feeling good about the support I have. I have had wonderful offers of support from many people and I am feeling good about the team of which I am a part.” Olson was elected to represent WetaskiwinCamrose in the provincial elections in 2008 and 2012. He served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General in his first term and, when the election was called by Premier Prentice, was in his third year as Minister of Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development. He was a partner with the law firm of Andreassen Olson Borth, where he focused primarily on real estate, wills, estates, counselling small businesses, and assisting farmers, families, seniors and dependent adults. Rock believes that Albertans need a strong voice to let the PCs know that it can’t continue to misgovern.

CAMROSE SKATING CLUB HOLDS YEAR END SHOW

Continued on page 27

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Skating Club members presented At the Movies at the EnCana Arena on March 21. About 100 skaters, some as young as three years of age, performed in the season ending show.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) has released new survey results that show entrepreneurs want their elected representatives to have a better understanding of the challenges of running an independent business. W hen Alberta business owners were asked for their opinion on whether My Premier understands the realities of running a small business, 14 per cent said yes, 49 per cent said no and 37 said they didn’t know. “ Entrepreneu rs know they must balance their own budget or they face going out of business. They expect the government to make the same difficult choices and tighten their belts on an accelerated timeline, not three years from now”, says CFIB’s senior policy analyst, Amber Ruddy. Four out of five entrepreneurs surveyed (81 per cent) believe Members of the Legislative Assembly who switch parties should be required to run in a by election. Eleven per cent disagree with this statement and eight per cent are unsure. “Small and medium-sized independent businesses are a stabilizing force in the economy and bring financial and social benefits to our communities. Alberta’s entrepreneurs are understandably looking for a meaningful debate about small business issues and policies during this election campaign. At same time, they clearly aren’t interested in opportunistic politicians unsure of where they stand playing musical in the legislature,” says Ruddy. The web-based, controlled access CFIB member survey had 880 responses. Findings were collected from Jan. 26 to Feb. 5. As a non-partisan advocacy group, CFIB is not endorsing any of the candidates running for office.

“Watching first hand the difficulties that our front line health care professionals deal with each day in the way of bureaucracy and inefficiency while doing their absolute best, working with my retired parents on helping them make ends meet each month and talking to my younger siblings and their friends about the difficulties their children face in classroom sizes and the availability of schools,” he said, “reinforced in me that health care professionals and patients, seniors and our youth need someone to tell the government that the time for responsible, efficient government is now.” Rock’s top three priorities are standing up for patient-centred health care and seniors’ care that minimizes bureaucracy, standing up for the world class education that is focused on classroom sizes that allow teachers to teach and standing up for seniors by pushing for democracy and accountability. He believes that the government needs to invest in and develop rural communities and their financial centres like Wetaskiwin, Camrose and Millet, and that it shouldn’t be adding burdens to the seniors. Rock has operated a successful plumbing and heating business in Amisk, where he also owns the local convenience store and serves as the deputy mayor. He and his wife of 18 years, Kim, have raised two boys. Their oldest, Ryan was recently the fortunate recipient of a kidney and pancreas transplant.

2015 Grand Caravan Minivan with the driving dynamics of a sedan

John Wigston By Dan Jensen

The 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan at Camrose Chrysler has been Canada’s bestselling minivan for more than 30 years. Aggressive feel

Grand Caravan’s design is intended to convey the dynamic driving nature of the vehicle. A front fascia that sports the Dodge signature “split-crosshair” grille and quad headlamps combine for an aggressive feel. A sculpted rear fascia and rear “ring of fire” LED taillamps completes the look from the front to the back. The segment-exclusive Stow ‘n Place roof rack system provides the convenience of crossbars without compromising aerodynamics, since they attach to the side rails when not in use. Both the power liftgate and the power sliding doors feature obstacle detection, which reverses the door’s direction if an object is sensed in its path. Quiet Steel technology works to ensure a quiet cabin. Performance From the state-of-the art high-pressure die-cast aluminum block and VVT to sequential multiport fuel injection and high-flow intake and exhaust ports, the 3.6 litre Pentastar engine applies some of the most advanced automotive

engine technologies. The result is an exceptional blend of high torque, fuel-efficiency, low emissions, and quiet ride. The only thing better than numbers like 283 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque is the engine’s durability enhancing features, like an advanced oil filter system that helps eliminate oil spills and contributes to more environmentallyfriendly disposal with its incinderable filter element. The engine delivers highway mileage of 7.9 litres per 100 km and 12.2 litres per 100 km city, and a segmentexclusive fuel economizer feature that alters shift patterns to help improve realworld fuel efficiency. It’s also Flex Fuel capable, offering the choice of using either gasoline or ethanol (E85) fuel, or any combination of the two. Nobody does it better The comfort, luxury and superior craftsmanship of the Grand Caravan is a guaranteed double take. Well-appointed interior design details include soft-touch surfaces, chrome accents and must have features intuitively placed for ease of driver and passenger use. The integrated instrument panel offers a unified look with touches of chrome around the climate controls, shifter and gauge cluster

rings. The LED-illuminated gauges are positioned for easy viewing and the steering wheel houses cruise and audio controls. An available class-exclusive Super Console features generous storage accessible by both firstand second-row passengers, and a top tray cargo space that can be covered with a sliding door to keep travel items out of sight. The console’s four cup holders include two that can hold 355-mL cans and two that can accommodate up to one litre bottles. The available tri-zone automatic temperature control system keeps everyone comfortable via its electronic thermostats, and the push of a button activates the available classexclusive full-circumfrence heated steering wheel, keeping the driver’s hands warm. Grand Caravan’s interior was intuitively designed to flip, fold and tumble with your needs. With the ability to carry up to seven people, an amazing amount of cargo or any combination in between with 81 possible seating configurations, neither your crew nor your cargo will feel the squeeze. Bringing home purchases from home improvement or big box stores isn’t a problem either. Simply stow secondand third-row seats into

the floor with the available Super Stow ‘n Go to reveal a flat floor with 4,072 litres of cargo space without ever having to remove a seat. Even everyday errands are made easier with Grand Caravan. The 225-mm deep in-floor storage bins behind the third row allows you to load and unload groceries with ease, without worrying about produce running out and under the seats. Let me entertain you The available segmentexclusive second- and thirdrow independent DVD entertainment system features nine-inch screens, two sets of wireless headphones, a remote, and input jacks to accommodate gaming and video possibilities during long trips to virtually eliminate the “are we there yet?” questions from the passengers. Best of all, the screens can work independently, with one showing a movie while the other is used for video games. The video system can be operated from either the rear seat entertainment unit or the radio head unit. Whether your passengers are watching a DVD or listening to your favourite music, everyone will appreciate the available nine-speaker Infinity sound system with an 11-channel amplifier that serves 506 watts of power. An eight-

inch, two-channel, dualvoice coil subwoofer means superb quality surround sound for everyone. Safety In adverse weather conditions, the standard Electronic Stability Control with Electronic Brake Assist works with an advanced all-speed traction control system to help the driver maintain vehicle directional stability and limit oversteering or understeering. Electronic Brake Assist detects conditions when maximum force is needed for optimum stopping power. A new driver’s inflatable knee blocker helps reduce injuries to lower extremities on impact with the dashboard and helps properly position the driver in relation to the front air bags. The Blind Spot Monitoring System continually monitors blind zones on either side of the vehicle. When an object is detected, an indicator light illuminates in the appropriate exterior mirror and an optional audible notification is provided. You can drive the 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan at Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 East. Phone 780672-2476 or toll free, 1-800563-4202 and ask for a member of the friendly sales team.

Bandits steal series in seven games By Murray Green

The Brooks Bandits ended the Camrose Kodiaks’ playoff run in the seventh game of the Alberta Junior Hockey League south division finals before 2,145 fans at EnCana Arena, April 7. The Bandits stole the momentum away from Camrose early in the deciding game and built up a 2-1 lead after the opening period. Cole McBride scored on a wrap-around move for Camrose between two visiting markers. His

goal was just 14 seconds after the first goal, but everything went the Bandits’ way after that. Brooks poured on the pressure in the second and took a 4-1 lead before Ryker Leer replied for the Kodiaks with a wired shot to the top corner of the net. The play was even in the third until Brooks added an empty net tally in the last 12 seconds. Goalie Devin McDonald stopped 34 of the 38 shots he faced, while the Kodiaks directed 28 shots at the Brooks net.

Coach and general manager Boris Rybalka praised his players despite the loss. He said it wasn’t the way he wanted the season to end, but noted that the team accomplished more than most people thought it would before the season started. Brooks will now meet the Spruce Grove Saints in the AJHL final for the second time in three years. Leer led the Kodiaks offence in the playoffs with six goals and 14 points in 12 games.

Spencer Kryczka and Braeden Salverda both collected 10 points, including two game winners each. The offence was spread around with four players earning nine points. Scott Ferg uson, McBr ide, Gadoury and Costello all stepped up for the playoffs. McDonald had a .926 save percentage and a 2.37 goals against average in the extra season. The Kodiaks had a 7-5 record in the 12 playoff games after finishing first in the regu-

lar season with a 48-84 record in 60 games. The team only lost three games in regulation time on the road in 2014-15. Bear facts It is too early to tell how many players will be back to take another run at Brooks and the south title next season. However, Brett Njaa, Adam Wheeldon, Adam deChamplain, Valik Chichkin and McDonald all played their last game for the Kodiaks in the seventh game of the series.

Wild Rose Co-operative coming off a solid year By Dan Jensen

The Wild Rose Co-operative Association broke the $100 million mark in sales and had its first local savings since 2001 in the business year that ended last Oct. 31. “It was a very successful year for our co-op,” said Wild Rose Co-operative Association president Theresa Beddoes at the association’s annual general meeting March 25. “This year’s financial statement indicates to the board that our strong membership believes and supports our co-op to the best of their abilities.” Wild Rose Co-operative Association general manager Carol Rollheiser told members that the co-op doubled its sales of crop supplies, grew the bulk petroleum and cardlock business by 12.2 per cent in litres, increased its food business at Camrose, Killam and Sedgewick by 6.8 per cent and increased its gas bar business by five per cent. “These results were achieved in a competitive environment,” said Rollheiser, “one that experienced major Canadian and international competitors exit and enter our trading area.”

Wild Rose Co-op operations manager Rick Stang, centre, presented a cheque for $2,000 to Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation development officer Ryan Drury and director of development Sue McCoy. The money was raised from barbecues that were held at the gas bar before Edmonton Eskimos football games during the 2014 football season.

The association’s savings of $4.8 million (before taxes) will result in allocations to members of four per cent on their food purchases, five per cent on their fuel purchases, four per cent on crop supplies and two per cent on home and building materials. The general cash payment for 2015 will be $2.1 million. “The patronage refund from Federated Co-operatives was down in 2014 compared to 2013 even with our increased sales,” said Roll-

heiser. “This is the result of refinery earnings being significantly down due to the fires at the end of last year.” Wild Rose Co-op is currently in the process of expanding the warehouse, renovating the washrooms, adding offices and a staff room and extending asphalt from the pump islands at its bulk petroleum office and warehouse in Killam, and will be completing the third phase of its refrigeration

replacement in Camrose this spring. “We are going to be bringing in new produce cases, new checkouts, removing the coffin freezers down the back aisle, adding door freezers, and replacing the flooring in the produce department,” said Rollheiser. “All equipment will be the latest in technology and energy efficiency.” The association contributed well over $120,000 in direct donations and fund-

raising assistance in 2014 to local sports teams, nonprofits, local scholarship programs and community events. More than $18,000 was donated this past December to both the Flagstaff County Food Bank and the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center Food Bank. Members of the Wild Rose Co-op board and management attend a planning session each year to review current trends and look towards the future. “The key to our future financial strength and growth is being totally aware of the risks our organization may face and then to prepare strategies to mitigate those risks and move forward,” said Beddoes. “We believe in investing our assets for the long term benefit of the co-op and for the communities we serve. As we look to the future we will continue to build on our strengths to advance our co-operative and follow our vision statement to ensure that the association will be the leader in providing knowledge, service and products for the betterment of our co-operative and of our communities.” Continued on page 32

Rollheiser noted that the association’s local roots run deep. “We do not chase quarterly results for shareholders. We manage and operate in our communities where our almost 200 employees live, work and play, and our profits are reinvested back into those communities. We know we must continue to fight against complacency and change. The way that we perform business must evolve to be able to compete with the competitors that are global in nature. This impacts every aspect of our business, from how we order our products to how we manage our employee team, to how we deliver fuel, to how we sell crop inputs. It should be expected that we will adapt to be competitive and adapt to stay relevant.” The Wild Rose Co-operative Association has achieved $1,009,623,748 in sales and $44,463,228 in savings since 1948.

Augustana curling program continues to shine By Murray Green The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference curling coach of the year, Roger Galenza, is heading a program that will continue to improve. That is a tough task considering the Vikings won gold medals in mixed competition, the women’s rink earned silver medals and the men’s team placed fourth at provincials. The mixed team was comprised of skip Brandon Brown, third Bailey Shandro, second Andrew Klassen and lead Rhiannon Beatty. “This was the fourth time in five years the mixed rink finished first. The other year they received silver medals. What’s so special about this is that the teams don’t carry over from year to year. We had a new skip with three first year students,” said Galenza. However, nationals are not held for mixed curling anymore. “They (host sites) just don’t have enough time and sheets of ice at one location to hold all three events. Most host locations only have six sheets. It’s a scramble to get the women’s and men’s in,” explained Galenza. All three teams qualified for provincials for the second straight year. “The women’s team was so close to winning gold medals. It was 16 years ago, 1999, that the women’s team won a medal. I think the last time a team went to nationals was in 1990, so its been such a long time for Augustana to have such a strong team,” said Galenza. The women’s and men’s rinks advanced to the college curling nationals in Olds on March 25 to 28. “This team kept getting better each time out. I can’t remember Sarah Brown curling so well and calling a perfect game. It was heart-breaking to watch because they were so close to getting into the bronze game. I can’t say enough about how well she curled.” Augustana’s silver medal winning team of skip Sarah Brown, third Lynnelle Mahe, second Ashley S m i t h and lead K r ist en Hub er placed fourth at nationals. The women’s rink supported a 4-3 record. The Vikings beat Mohawk 10-5, beat Olds 8-6, lost 6-5 to NAIT, beat Hol-

land 6-4, beat MacEwan 8-6, lost 8-4 to Humber and lost 6-5 to Fanshawe. The pivotal game for the men came in the winter regional in Camrose where they finished third to avoid a log jam for fourth place. “Olds won the tiebreakers, which was good for us because they were hosting and that meant we got into provincials,” recalled Galenza. The Aug ustana men’s squad of skip Brad Schroeder, third Colton Simard, second Colton Warawa and lead Ben Bates was close to receiving a bronze medal at provincials. They lost

in an extra end to place fourth. “They curled really well and started out 2-0. They were 3-1 by Thursday night and just lost out after that,” the coach said. “They beat the gold and silver medal winning teams, so they were knocking on the door.” At nationals, the Vikings had a 3 - 4 record. They beat Red Deer 8 -7, beat Fanshawe 6-5, beat Fleming 6 -3, lost 8 -2 to Sault, lost 9-4 to Olds, lost 8- 6 to MacEwan and lost 8-6 to NAIT to finish out of the playoff round and in sixth spot.

NAIT and MacEwan usually have strong rinks year after year. “They have about 10,000 students to pick from; we have around 1,100. For us to be competitive with them is remarkable,” said Galenza. The Vikings only lose Sarah Brown, Brandon Brown and maybe someone on the men’s team for next season. “We have new curlers coming in that are strong, so we should have three solid teams again next season. In fact, with the experience gained, we should be even stronger,” coach said.

Bra ndon Brow n, Shandro and Mahe were all named to the first team all-conference roster. Huber made the second all-star squad. Galenza was surpr ised he received the coach of the year award. “I was completely shocked, surprised and overwhelmed,” said the humble coach. “I got emotional because it was such an honour and privilege to get voted in by my peers because I have such a young coaching career with the ACAC. I don’t throw the rocks, the players deser ve all of the credit.”

Vision Credit Union has a successful first year By Dan Jensen

Talk about getting off to a good start! Vision Credit Union was able to return 25.3 per cent of all interest paid on loans to members and a bonus 25.3 per cent on all interest paid to members just five months after the

merger of Battle River Credit Union and Caisse Horizon Credit Union last May. “We have been able to maintain a strong level of profitability and look forward to the future with great confidence,” said Vision Credit Union president Alan Fielding in an

annual report that was shared with members at the Norsemen Inn March 25. Based on the payout percentages, a homeowner who (as an example) paid $12,000 on a $300,000 mortgage (four per cent) would have received an allocation of

$3,036. A farmer who (as an example) paid four and a half per cent interest on a farm machinery loan totalling $685,000 would have received a payback of $9,536.77. The merger of Battle River Credit Union and Caisse Horizon Credit Union was a huge undertaking, which involved the complex transition of Caisse Horizon Credit Union to the former BRCU computer system. “The merger process went very well with the help of a lot of dedicated staff and board members, and the patience of both memberships,” said Vision Credit Union chief executive officer Steve Friend. “We are now a larger, stronger credit union that has the ability to offer our members all of the financial products they require while returning excellent profit share.” Both Caisse Horizon Credit Union and Battle River Credit Union were well-known, well-respected and well-trusted in their respective geographic areas, with a strong base of loyal members and an extensive service area. At the time of the merger, Battle River Credit Union was ranked highest in the province in terms of legislated capital requirements. The new Vision Credit Union has 16 full-service branches, $841 million in assets, and serves the needs of 23,000 members.

Vision Credit Union has replaced the ATMS at all of its existing branch locations and introduced direct alerts on MemberDirect online banking, and is currently working on the launch of a mobile app and Deposit Anywhere (remote deposit capture). “We continue to invest in and develop technologies, processes and people,” says the Vision Credit Union annual report. “Members can access their accounts 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” Vision Credit Union supported more than 43 events and community organizations in 2014, from the Canada Cup of Curling and the Camrose Minor Hockey Association to the Vegreville Cultural Association and the Viking Agricultural Society. The credit union also presented a $2,500 scholarship to Dana Bulger, daughter of Glen and Sheila Bulger in memory of the late Terry Kelly, who was general manager of the Battle River Credit Union for 30 years, for academic achievement and community involvement. Fielding said even with the challenges the province is facing with the price of oil, Vision Credit Union is confident in the soundness of its loan portfolio and the ability to continue to thrive.

Officer Rinkel By Murray Green

The Camrose branch of the Alberta Fish and Wildlife Office has a new man in charge. Lorne Rinkel is now the district officer for the local region. Officer Rinkel was promoted from his Grande Prairie position to take over the duties from Alex Frank, who retired. “My family and I are really looking forward to living in Camrose. It is such a beautiful city. Before going to Grande Prairie I was on the island in Port Alberni,” recalled Rinkel, who has moved around over the past 30 years. “I’m originally from Bragg Creek, so I wanted to stay in Alberta. I learned about the outdoors living close to Kananaskis.” Last October, about 12 district offices had openings, so he applied for Camrose as his first choice. “One of the huge parts of my job is getting the community on side. I rely on the population at large for reporting poachers. My priority is to get out with the public and preserve the fish and land wildlife,” he said. “I’m in the discovery phase and finding out the local concerns. I know the area has a lot of moose.” Rinkel said people in the community know that deer wander throughout the city. “I encourage people to drive with the knowledge that we have deer in the city. A big part of this position is working together with City and County law enforcement. I am getting out and meeting them. I am polite and fair, but if some-

one breaks the law it won’t be tolerated. “I want to provide some more proactive work to avoid some future problems, instead of just running from complaint to complaint.” In Grande Prairie, Rinkel was part of a three-person staff. Here, he will be in charge of the district. That offers him a bigger challenge, for which he is ready. Since he doesn’t have an office assistant here, he will be asking people to leave messages for him to return when he is in the office. “If people have an emergency, such as finding an injured animal or an animal that is threatening their livestock, I encourage them to call the report a poacher line at 1-800-642-3800

because that is answered 24/7 every day of the year. If I am not available, the call will go to the neighbouring officer,” said Rinkel. Poaching is a serious crime with severe penalties. If convicted, poachers may be fined up to $100,000 and/or be sentenced to six months in jail.

Police intervene in domestic situation April 6

Police received a complaint that a domestic dispute was in progress between a man and a woman. Police attended the residence and it was determined that the male had assaulted his girlfriend during the course of the argument. The male was charged with assault and three counts of breaching his court ordered release conditions. The male was taken before a Justice of the Peace and remanded into custody to await his court appearance. April 5

Police conducted a vehicle stop as a result of an observed traffic infraction. It was determined that the adult male driver from Camrose was under the influence of alcohol. He was arrested for impaired driving and provided breath samples that were twice the legal limit. It was further determined that the male was a suspended driver as a result of a previous impaired driving conviction. His vehicle was seized for 30 days and he was charged accordingly.

Fuel costs are still considerable, and many drivers try to squeeze every last drop out of their tanks before returning to the filling station. Unfortunately, this is somewhat of a Pyrrhic victory. While it might feel good to get an extra day’s worth of driving out of a tank of gas, the toll that running on empty takes on the rest of the vehicle is a hefty one indeed. The sediment from gasoline settles at the bottom of the gas tank, and when gas levels run low, the car must use the dirtiest gas it has as fuel. As that happens, the sediment that would otherwise remain at the bottom of the tank instead gets into the car’s fuel line and even its engine. The fuel filter likely won’t catch all of this dirt, and the engine will therefore be taxed unnecessarily just so drivers can go an extra day before filling up. Stopping and Starting

For some drivers, such as those who live in cities, constant stopping and starting is unavoidable. For others, however, this stopping and starting needs to be avoided at all costs. Drivers who enjoy accelerating and then quickly stopping between stoplights might like the adrenaline rush such driving provides, but their engines certainly don’t appreciate it. Nor do their wallets. Frequently flooring the gas pedal is wasting expensive gas and putting a heavy strain on the engine. And all those quick stops is taxing the car’s brakes, greatly reducing their life expectancy. Revving the Engine

Fans of the film franchise “Fast and the Furious” might love to rev their engines just like their favorite movie stars. But in real life, such a habit is pointless and potentially very harmful to a vehicle. This is especially true when a vehicle has just been started and the engine hasn’t had the chance to warm up. Revving the engine while it’s still cold means the vehicle’s oil is still down in the oil pan and none of the engine’s parts have yet been lubricated. This is certain to damage the engine significantly, and eventually, if revving is part of a driver’s routine, it is going to force an engine replacement, a costly repair if there ever was one.

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.

The sur vey required students to use their own personal devices. “ O nc e t hey h ad entered their answers and viewed the results on a big projector, we brought in (Habitat for Hu ma n it y exe c ut ive director) Cody McCarroll to speak to them for a few m inutes,” said OLMP leadership club committee chair A l ic ia St one. “ T hey then did the sur vey again to see how much their k nowledge had improved.” The assembly ended with students being challenged to build a “ Habitat ” home a nd f ill it with something f rom wh ich Habitat from Humanity or other organizations could benef it. “ T he idea is for each home room class to have a home that will be judged at a n a s sembly t h i s T hu r s d ay b y r e p r e s e nt a t i v e s f r o m H a b it a t for Hu m a n it y, Ca mr o s e Pol ic e S e r v ic e a nd t he Ca m r o se F i r e D epa r t ment , a s wel l as a home inspect or f r om t he C it y of Ca m r o se,” sa id St one. “ T he home r o om t h at has the best home w i l l r e c eive a pi zza pa r t y a nd t he opt ion of sk ippi n g one cla s s of t hei r c hoic e.” T he actua l work at the build site will i nvolve 15 students who are 16 years of age or older. “ T here a re a lot of students who were

It usually leads to them becoming involved in more things and sharing even more ideas about what they can be doing.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Industry experts recommend wiper blades should be replaced at the change of each season or on three month intervals,â&#x20AC;? said Jewell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the longer a wiper blade is on the vehicle, the more brittle and ineffective it becomes, putting drivers and passengers at risk.â&#x20AC;? Drivers can also purchase inexpensive treatments designed to make the rubber more pliable and extend the life of the wipers. In addition, when inspecting or replacing wiper blades, top off the windshield washer fluid as a precautionary measure. Clean interior glass and mirrors

Another way to improve visibility is to clean interior glass to remove any film buildup that can reduce vision and create a hazy ref lection from the sun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is especially important for motorists who smoke in the car, as this film is typically thicker,â&#x20AC;? said Jewell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When addressing interior glass, take the time to adjust all side and rearview mirrors properly to cover all of the views around the car, especially the blind spots.â&#x20AC;?

Community wide ARE YOU PARTICIPATING? CAMROSE 1st garage sales set L A U N N COMMUNITY WIDE A for same dates By Murray Green A Camrose Community Wide Garage Sale is planned for the May 21 to 23 weekend. People are excited about the possibility of higher traffic with the majority of garage sales falling on the same weekend. “The major garage sale will be excellent. This will provide more garage sale locations and provide many more residents the opportunity to shop garage sales,” said Ray Telford, city economic development officer. “The economic benefits will be excellent as there will be more dollars being spent. Citizens will receive good products and garage sale operators will receive dollars that they can use for retail that will help economic growth.” The weekend will be a treasure hunt for adults. “I love the idea of a Community Wide Garage Sale Weekend. It will be exciting with everyone out and about attempting to get to each sale first so they can beat the others out of a possible hidden

treasure,” said Hazel Cail, Tourism Camrose executive director. “It really is the thrill of getting a super great deal. The dates are perfect following the May long weekend with most of the gardening done and folks will be ready to get out in the great weather and socialize a bit with their neighbours. With so many garages to visit, make sure you pick up a garage sale carry map at the Booster and plan out your day of treasure-hunting.” The Camrose Booster is offering a free 20-word classified ad, two free lawn signs, a place on the handy carry map and sale coverage in the week prior to the event. Everyone is encouraged to start spring cleaning to sort our items they may want to include in their own garage sale. The multiple sales on the same weekend should increase traffic for those holding a sale. For more information phone 780672-3142.
