for ways to make reductions

By Dan Jensen

The University of Alberta Augustana Campus is looking for ways to reduce spending and increase revenues in wake of another tough provincial budget.

“This year’s budget cuts are a special challenge,” said Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger in a presentation to committee of the whole council April 6. “I am not sure there is anywhere more to dig. We are down to bone; there is no fat.”

The Augustana campus was forced to reduce expenses by $1 million from its budget in 2014.

“Since I arrived four years ago we have had budget cuts every year,” said Dr. Berger.

Augustana is hoping to offset the loss of revenue by increasing the amount of programming it is able to provide to universities in China, which are interested in shifting to English language instruction and new ways of teaching, directing more efforts towards the retention of international students who pay more for their tuition, and offering new learning opportunities for Camrose and area residents.

“We have a wonderful young woman who is heading up our community programming operation,” said Dr. Berger. “She is getting out and meeting with lots of people, finding out where the need is and finding out where the market is. We are a vibrant business place for eight months of the year but there is not a lot going on during May, June, July and August. Our goal is to change that. We would welcome partnership conversations with you and other groups in the community to figure out what kinds of community needs we can serve by taking advantage of the beautiful campus infrastructure we have, especially now with the performing arts centre added to everything else.”

Augustana will also be continuing its efforts to raise money for student awards, science equipment, endowed professorships, aboriginal student program support and community service learning.

“In many of these initia-

Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger

tives the plan is to target corporate Alberta,” said Dr. Berger. “We are working with the advancement office on north campus in Edmonton to begin to identify potential corporate partners who might have an interest in the investment opportunities that we provide.”

The provincial government currently funds 58 per cent of the cost of a university student’s education.

“That’s significantly larger than the average percentage across Canada, which is about 45 per cent,” said Dr. Berger. “My concern is that if Alberta reduces its levels of funding the averages go down and eventually everybody just keeps funding to the average. There are countries in the western world that fully subsidize the cost of an undergraduate education.

Students do not pay anything for an undergraduate education in Scotland. They don’t pay anything in Germany. I wonder if the Germans can do it why other nations can’t.

Back when we were kids there wasn’t much of a reason for large segments of the population to aspire to more than a high school education, but now there is good reason for us to want to provide a university level of education for large segments of the population.”

Augustana has been experiencing growth in its enrolment for the last six years in a row, and has

been above the enrolment target set by the government of Alberta for the last three years.

“The growth this past year was quite balanced, with more aboriginal students, more international students, more in-province students and more out-of-province students,” said Dr. Berger.

Augustana will be graduating a record number of aboriginal students at its spring convocation on May 31. “That is important to us,” said Dr. Berger, “because we have tried to position ourselves as that portion of the University of Alberta that is especially concerned with developing the next generation of leadership for rural and aboriginal communities.”

Councillor Max Lindstrand expressed concerns about the reduction in funding for Alberta universities and the likelihood that students will wind up paying more for tuition.

“We certainly don’t want our universities to become elitist places where the average person can’t afford the tuition to attend,” he said.

Lindstrand also expressed concern about the province’s decision to reduce the credit for charitable donations.

“That is a double whammy,” he said. “I am sure there is significant money coming in the form of donations to the university.”

REFLECTIONS

Al Walkey an ambassador for importance of organ donation

by Bonnie Hutchinson Ten things making me happy

A few days ago, I found out that I’m going to receive a sum of money that’s more than I expected and sooner than expected. I was happy!

That got me thinking about things that make me happy.

Here are 10 things making me happy today.

1. The money. Always a treat! It will have a happy home.

2. At some times in my life, that money would have been a lifeline; when I was so close to the edge that I literally didn’t know how I was going to pay the rent or buy groceries to feed my children. I’m happy to be reminded that I don’t live that close to the edge any more.

3. I was already happy when I got the news. Finding out about it was just an added bonus. There have been times in my life when that would not have been the case. So the third thing making me happy is the sign of progress.

4. Spring is actually here. Even if we have another blizzard – and we could! – the days are longer and warmer.

5. I have a spectacular orchid, a kind that I’ve never seen before. Makes me smile every time I look at it.

6. I’m making progress on a project that’s more complex, more challenging and more time-consuming than I or probably any of the people involved imagined.

(Not the first time I’ve had this experience! Probably not the last time.)

7. I’m glad to have lived long enough to know that the project will be done and it will accomplish its purpose even better than any of us originally imagined.

8. It’s light by 6:30 a.m. and nearly until 9 p.m. I’m looking forward to our long northern evenings when gorgeous sunsets linger until after 10:30 p.m.

9. I think my brain is getting re-wired! I’m reading a book by Dr. Joe Dispenza called Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One. I’ve been fascinated for a while by books about how the brain works.

The first two-thirds of this book helped me understand that more clearly than ever. I’m now working my way through the specific exercises he suggests, and sometimes I think I can actually feel portions of my brain changing! It could be my imagination – but who cares?

It’s making me happy.

10. For 50 years, I’ve noticed that whatever I want to learn about, or whatever would be helpful to me, shows up at the perfect time in the form of an experience, a song, a person, a movie, a book, or sometimes a surprising idea. The older I get, the more I am in awe that life unfolds exactly as it should – though sometimes with me doing a fair bit of kicking and whining!

And that takes me to #11…

11. Writing about things that make me happy makes me happy! …which takes me to #12.

12. As I thought about it, I realized that actually none of those things is making me happy. I am already happy and those things are helping me to notice!

I’m grateful to have lived long enough to learn that happiness is an inside job. We cannot control the outside world – Shakespeare’s “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” Sometimes we cannot control events in our lives – deaths, disappointments, pain, misfortune, illness.

But we can take charge of our responses and choices. Whether we’re in a joy-filled time or a time of great challenges – or both simultaneously! – happiness is within us all the time, ready to be noticed.

So what are ten things making you happy today – ready to be noticed and enjoyed?

Al Walkey is willing to share his story with anyone who will listen.

By Dan Jensen

Al Walkey considers himself an ambassador for organ donation.

“I feel the need to communicate to anyone who will listen the message that organ donation does work,” said Walkey on the advent of National Organ and Tissue donation week April 19 to 26. “If anyone wants to hear my story I will tell them. It is one of the ways I can support the Canadian Transplant Association as well as all the people who have had a transplant.”

Walkey was 56 years of age and considering retirement when a blood test revealed he had Hepatitis C, a disease that attacks the liver.

“My doctor immediately had me to the infectious disease program at the U of A where a surgeon there told me that I had a cirrhotic liver and that if I didn’t receive a new one I would not make it past the next six months,” he said.

Although the news came as a blow, it didn’t def late his fighting spirit.

“I told him (the surgeon) rather jokingly and sarcastically that I was going to beat the odds,” he said. “The look on his face told me he didn’t think that was going to happen.”

Over the next several months of being in and out of the hospital, Walkey’s condition gradually worsened, with his weight dropping from 240 to 113 pounds.

“I developed ascites, which is a build up of f luid,” he said. “It was so bad that they would drain about 17 litres of f luid out of my gut every two or three days.”

His body also began to store an excess amount of ammonia.

“Ammonia is very toxic and, so what happens is that you suffer from enceph-

alopathy, which is a kind of dementia,” said Walkey. “I would wander off and the staff would have to corral me and keep me on track.

The only treatment was this absolutely terrible stuff called lactolose, which gathers all the ammonia and kicks it out of your system.”

Unbeknownst to Walkey while he was being treated, his future son-in law was being tested to see if he would be a suitable donor.

“He had the right body mass index and his liver was good so they scheduled the surgery for August (2010) he said. “He had the right to back out right up until the time they put him under and there would have been no hard feelings. They would have scrubbed it and I would have gone back onto the waiting list.”

Unfortunately, the sonin-law’s liver did not take and Walkey was placed into a coma, while the doctors put out a country wide search for a cadaver donor.

“They found two of them,” said Walkey. “The time from the first transplant to the second was only about seven days.”

Walkey was released from the hospital in December, 2010 to begin a recovery process that took until last fall when he took the position of City Center Camrose manager.

“I was very restricted with what I could do,” he said. “There were many birthday parties and gatherings I had to miss because of the chance that I would catch a cold or infection from someone that could not be processed by the new liver. I wasn’t prepared during that first year to do very much at all.

I was just trying to survive. I stayed home so long that I was getting to the point where I didn’t know how to interact with people the way I had before.”

Walkey feels blessed

that he has had such a solid support group from his wife, who took time off work to be with him, and his two daughters.

“My youngest quit what she was doing and came to be by my side and my oldest and her husband built an ensuite on their house so I would have a place to stay after my hospital visits,” he said.

Like many transplant recipients, Walkey went through a time where he questioned why he was allowed to survive.

“When you think that another family is missing out on the Christmases and birthdays that I am having it is very emotional,” he said. “I think about that person every day and thank God that I am alive.”

Walkey feels the process that he has gone through has made him a better, more compassionate person.

“I don’t know who my new liver has come from,” he said. “It could be somebody from a different race, somebody from another gender, somebody from a different persuasion. My attitude is that it has opened my eyes to the whole world and how unique the world is in terms of everything.

Every day is a blessing to me and I am thankful that I am healthy enough now that I can plan for things down the road.”

Walkey will be participating in the Transplant Trot (as a walker not a runner) in Edmonton on July 1, where he hopes to be able to share his story and encourage others who are going through what he has.

“I know there are quite a few transplant recipients in Camrose so it would be great if we could do an event like that in the near future,” he said. “It would help create more awareness for the importance of organ transplants.”

- There is a crisis in Alberta’s hospitals, and this PC budget only made it worse.

- The PCs have cut the equivalent of a billion dollars from health care. The quality of care Albertans will receive will inevitably suffer, putting us and the people we love at risk when we most need care.

$850 value!

Place your entry with every purchase.

W

ith a blank cheque in hand, Lorne and Monique Rinkel drove to Camrose from Grande Prairie determined to buy a house over the course of a weekend. Lorne had recently been transferred.

They contacted Trevor and told him what they wanted. They arranged to start looking at homes on Saturday morning. By 5 p.m., the deal was done.

“Flawless, absolutely flawless,” says Monique about their experience in working with Trevor. “We were really impressed!”

They wanted a newer home, one bigger than 1,500 square feet (they have two teenagers.) Monique likes to cook so she wanted a bigger kitchen, they needed an attached garage and they wanted to be in a quiet neighborhood. No problem.

Trevor did his homework, took them to three houses and saved the best for last. “He understands what makes a good property and his knowledge of the Camrose market is excellent,” says Monique. He believed the last one shown would be the one they wanted and sure enough, they agreed.

“He truly enjoys his work,” says Monique. “And it became clear through his conversation that he loves Camrose.”

“Thank you Trevor!”

Gibson has a new lease on life

By Dan Jensen

Larry Gibson is travelling the world and enjoying life to the fullest, but the picture was quite different in 2011.

“I was at the stage where I was thinking about planning my funeral,” said Gibson. “There were times that it was really difficult for me to make it through the day.”

Gibson knew something was wrong with his body in 2005 and 2006 when he started losing weight.

“I went to the doctors quite a few times, but they couldn’t determine the reason,” he said. “They thought it might be my gall bladder and they were ready to take it out when they discovered that the enzymes in my liver were not quite correct.”

After undergoing a series of MRIs and CT scans, Gibson was sent to a liver specialist at the University of Alberta Hospital.

“They initially thought that I had cancerous tumours on the liver,” he said. “When they opened me up to see if they could do anything they found that my liver was rock hard and that I had a disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis. It turned out that I had it for a number of years, but I didn’t have any outward signs other than the weight loss.”

Gibson was told he needed a new liver and was immediately placed on a transplant list. “At the time I was just happy that it wasn’t cancer,” he said.

In the four years he spent waiting for a new liver, Gibson had to make many changes.

“I wasn’t able to work anymore as an account manager at ATB and my family had to revamp what they did,” he said. “Our kids, who were competitive ballplayers, took a step back into house league so they didn’t have to travel because I had to be within

Larry Gibson released green balloons on the Mirror Lake walking bridge on Jan. 13, in honour of his liver donor and his family. The colour green represents organ and tissue donation.

two hours of Edmonton at all times. They made all kinds of sacrifices and gave me all kinds of support.”

Gibson also had support from friends and relatives.

“My two nephews and my next door neighbour went through all the testing to be live donors,” he said, noting that donors only give up a piece of their liver and that the liver fully regenerates itself after about 60 days. “My nephews were rejected right at the end because it would put them in danger because of the way their lives were structured, but my neighbour was told to be on standby in case I ever became critical. His liver wasn’t a perfect match but it would work.”

The transplant finally occurred on Jan. 13, 2011.

“I was released from the hospital eight days after the surgery but it was about a year before I really started to get my energy back,” he said.

In June of last year

Gibson had an emotional meeting with the family of the donor.

“They changed the rules here a couple of years ago where you could request a meeting with the donor family, so that is what we did,” he said, “We were the first in western Canada to be matched up that way.”

The story was that the donor, a husband and father, had slipped on ice outside a restaurant in Lethbridge and cracked his skull.

“They took him on STARS to Calgary thinking they could do surgery because he had a brain bleed, but the injury was just too severe,” said Gibson. “His organs were harvested in Calgary and dispersed from there.”

Gibson had a difficult time reconciling himself to the fact that the only reason he was alive was because of another’s death.

“It was hard for me, but my donor’s family put it into perspective. They

said it was a tragic accident that took their dad and husband, but that I was a bright spot in it all because he was helping me to survive.”

Gibson doesn’t know how long he would have been able to go without a transplant.

“I was trying to figure that out because I wasn’t like most of the other liver disease patients,” he said.

“When I had the first surgery (to check if he had cancer) I was so sick the doctors said that they were going to take any liver that was close to being a match, but within a month my body had somehow bypassed what had happened and I was at my new normal, which was not good but it was not bad.

I didn’t deteriorate over those four years as far as the numbers went. I could tell I wasn’t as strong and that I was going downhill.

I can safely say that if I didn’t have the transplant and I was still here today I would be very ill. I can’t say for sure I would still be here.”

As of Dec. 31, 2014, there were 752 people waiting for a transplant in Alberta, and 342 transplants. More than 1,600 Canadians are added to organ wait lists every year, and four die each week waiting for a life-saving transplant.

“I strongly encourage everyone to sign up to become a donor,” said Gibson, adding that people are five times more likely to be in need of a new organ than they are to be an organ donor. “The key is to talk to your family about it because the family can overturn your decision at the time of death. You can have an open casket funeral because after the organs are harvested your body is still basically intact.”

Information about organ donation may be obtained by emailing transplantaareness@shaw.ca.

Kidney Foundation has successful campaign

By Dan Jensen

Camrose and area residents and businesses were generous with their giving during the Kidney Foundation’s fundraising campaign during the month of March.

“Together we raised $32,962 – $8,625 at the kickoff event on Feb. 21, $20,912 from residences and $3,425 from businesses,” said Camrose Kidney Foundation campaign coordinator Erhard Pinno.

“Some of the 900 donors gave twice: once at their business and once at home.”

The campaign had 23 canvassers who braved the sometimes icy streets and cold weather to knock on doors.

“Unfortunately we didn’t have enough canvassers to cover the entire city,” said Pinno.

Thirty-one per cent of all the money raised by the Kidney Foundation of Canada goes toward research.

About 19 per cent goes towards public education, 19 per cent goes towards management and administration, 18 per cent to patient services, 5.5 per

cent to organ donation, 4.7 per cent to two per cent to public policy.

“The Kidney Foundation of Canada funds over one-third of all kidneyrelated research in Canada.

“We’re proud of the role the Foundation has played over the past four decades,” says the Kidney Foundation of Canada web page. “The continual enhancement of research capacity is critical to the advancement of knowledge and the career development and retention of renal researchers.”

The efforts to reduce the burden of kidney disease have never been more critical.

“Three decades ago it was estimated that one million Canadians had kidney disease,” said Paul Shay, national executive director of the Kidney Foundation of Canada in a 2013 impact report. “Today that number has more than tripled.”

Pinno is hopeful that the generosity of the community will give all those who are living with kidney disease hope for a better tomorrow.

Be an organ donor

By Dan Jensen

The steps towards becoming an organ donor are simpler than you might think.

First, visit myhealth.alberta.ca and click on the box that says Alberta Organ and Tissue Donation Registry (you may also register by visiting a registry agent office or by signing the back of your health care card).

Once there you will be asked to provide your health card number and declare what you would like to do once you die.

You must be at least 18 years old to add your name to the registry.

It is important to note that you should talk about your wishes with family members.

They will then be prepared to speak on your behalf.

If you want to be a living donor (donate a kidney, part of your lung, or part of your liver while you are still alive), you need to contact the Living Donor Program in Calgary or Edmonton.

People who need t r a n spl a nt s are matched to an available organ based on many factors. The information you give helps medical specialists decide which recipient is the best match for the organ that is available.

Donor coordinators (nurses with special training) coordinate all organ donations and work with the eye and tissue programs in the province. They provide follow-up support and communicate with donor families.

Organs that can be donated include the heart, liver, pancreas, lungs, kidneys and intestines. Tissues that can be donated are corneas, skin, heart valves, bone, blood vessels and connective tissues such as tendons.

If you’re on the donor registry, you will get the life-saving care you need when you need it. You won’t be denied care in order to obtain your organs and tissues. Provincial laws and emergency medical practices ensure that your life comes first. The medical staff who take care of you are completely separate from the organ donation system.

They’re the pros Anyone who has ever worked in an office knows that once you lose your secretaries and administrative assistants, everything immediately falls to pieces – and that’s never a pretty sight. Anyone who can stay on top of everything that is going on around them deserves to have their own special day. That’s why we celebrate Administrative Professionals’ Week each year.

Often underpaid, almost always overworked, administrative professionals are master jugglers. They make sure deadlines are met, meetings take place, priorities are established and calls are returned. They have this sort of omnipresence that can almost be downright scary. But their efficiency and productivity is nothing short of remarkable. That’s why employers have started to see these hardworking professionals for what they really are: invaluable business partners.

Whether administrative professionals find themselves working at a small or medium-size business or a multinational corporation, their job descriptions have changed drastically over the last 25 years. With the technological advances that have been made in the last two decades, their daily tasks have little in common with the work that they once performed in the pre-PC days.

Administrative professionals may still work with notebooks, but unlike the blank lined pages of the 1970s, today’s notebooks feature DVD drives and wireless Internet technology.

And no one is afraid to find a mouse on his or her desk these days!

Wagner, Asfeldt named top athletes

By Murray Green

University of Alberta Augustana Campus named Richelle Wagner and Hans Asfeldt as the female and male athletes of the year at Colour Night in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on April 9.

Asfeldt was the top Augustana athlete in crosscountry running and crosscountry skiing.

“In my first encounter with Hans four years ago he told me he wasn’t much of a runner and was wondering if he should join the running team,” recalled coach Gerhard Lotz. “He wasn’t bad, but he did come a long way in his fourth season. This year Hans finished in third place in the ACAC grand prix running series. His bronze medal winning championship race was one of the finest I have ever seen from the standpoint of intelligence, pacing and sheer will to push his body as far as it could go. It is notable that Hans was the top Canadian runner, finishing close behind two very experienced and talented Kenyan runners.”

Asfeldt completed the championships in under 28 minutes on a tough eight kilometre course.

“He is in pretty elite company with only three Augustana runners ever accomplishing that,” said Lotz. “In hindsight, his national race was one of the bravest I’ve seen. At the five kilometre mark he was in 35th place in a very fast field. Somehow he was able to find another gear

and amazingly ended up in 11th place.”

What Lotz didn’t realize is that Asfeldt could barely walk the day before the race.

“He kept what was later determined to be a stress fracture to himself. Perhaps, not the wisest decision. He didn’t want to disappoint his teammates and he really wanted to run,” said Lotz.

“The way he performed at such a high level athletically along with everything else he does is an outstanding

example of the definition of a student-athlete.”

Skiing coach Tim Wintoniw agreed.

“Hans is one of the toughest athletes I have coached.

Not only is he able to push himself physically, but mentally as well. Although his ski season wasn’t as good as his running due to injuries, he accomplished the goals he set out in the fall. One of his goals was to qualify for Team Alberta at the Canada Winter Games,” said Wintoniw.

Lyons named coach of women’s basketball team

By Murray Green

The University of Alberta Augustana Vikings basketball team didn’t have to look very far for a new coach.

Kelly Lyons won’t have to act the part anymore.

Lyons served as the Augustana women’s basketball acting head coach in 201415 and took a young team to the ACAC conference championships this spring.

Lyons played NCAA Division I at Oakland University and captained the Carleton Ravens during her undergraduate degree before moving west to play for the University of Alberta Pandas.

Coach Lyons graduated from the University of Alberta with a Masters of Arts, Physical Education and Recreation (specializing in sports psychology) while she played for the Pandas for three seasons.

She was team captain for two of those seasons.

Kelly Lyons

In her final year with the Pandas, Lyons helped lead the team to a Canada West bronze and overall sixth place finish at CIS nationals. She has been a sessional instructor at the University of Alberta (north campus), where she taught PAC 11 (Instruction of the Basics of Basketball).

Lyons has coached, mentored and provided youth with guidance and training in basketball and other sports over the last 10 years. She was a coach of the U14 junior Pandas club basketball team.

She was also a motivational speaker, addressing young female groups.

Lyons implemented a performance enhancement training program as sports psychology consultant for the U13, U15, and U17 junior Pandas teams.

She has started her own sports psychology consulting practice and is involved with Basketball Alberta’s development team. She will be an assistant coach of the U15 Team Alberta provincial team this summer.

Lyons will be a parttime sessional instructor with the Physical Education program in Augustana Campus’ department of social sciences.

“With his results from last year, he had the potential to make it. He was the underdog going in. Through his mental toughness he was able to race hard and achieve his goals with a spot on Team Alberta. Not only is Hans a great athlete, but a leader in school and among his teammates.”

Basketball player Richelle Wagner was praised by her coach Kelly Lyons.

“She came to me at the beginning of the year ner-

vous about moving around on the court after being out a year with a torn ACL. She assured me that she would do the work to get ready.

The hard work paid off and she started for us and finished as our leading scorer and leading rebounder, even after missing the last eight games of the season with her second ACL tear,” said Lyons.

Wagner was named to the first team ACAC all-conference team.

“She led our team on the court and on the bench after her injury. She taught our bench players how to be the best supportive players. Off the court she helped at the Camrose Women’s Shelter and dedicated every Sunday in the fall to our basketball team. She finished the fall semester with a 3.7 grade point average and was named a CCAA academic all-Canadian,” Lyons added.

She was named our most dedicated player as well.”

Mayor Norm Mayor and Dean Allen Berger presented the male and female Athlete of the Year awards to student-athletes who first and foremost displayed outstanding athletic performance and accomplishments. The recipients were selected primarily on their performance and accomplishments in the current year as an Augustana athlete, but also for leadership on his or her team and within the Augustana Campus.

The recipients were selected for their strong character, dedication, determination, attitude and sportsmanship, and demonstrate an above average grade point average.

Relay for Life barbecue

By Murray Green

The Camrose Relay for Life is launching this year’s events with a kick-off barbecue on Saturday, April 25, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Aaron’s Furniture, north end of Main Street.

“The proceeds from the barbecue are going to the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life,” said cochair Trish Knudson. “We will have the band Third Degree playing outside and our barbecue will be in front of the store.”

The barbecue will feature hot dogs, hamburgers and pop for purchase.

Trish is sharing the chair position with Ashley Swedberg this year, with the assistance of Canadian Cancer Society revenue development coordinator Julie Barrie. The Relay for Life will be held at the Camrose Composite High School on June 20 from noon to midnight.

The Relay For Life Camrose event is still looking for volunteers.

“We want to get the community involved as much as we can,” said Trish. “We are going to need help with set up and take down, and volunteers throughout the day of the event.”

Relay For Life Camrose is asking the community for more teams and participants to reach the modest fundraising goal of $35,000. About $30,000 was raised last year.

“We want to reach our goal of having more teams and money raised,” said Julie. “The money goes toward programs and services, advocacy and research for the Canadian Cancer Society. We want to make life better for those living with the disease.”

To form a team or volunteer call Trish at 780781-6251, or Ashley at 780-781-5538.

School bus driver transporting second generation

By Laurel Nadon

School bus driver Carol Graham, who celebrates 34 years as a driver for Battle River School Division this month, has had a unique experience with two of the families on her route: she is now driving a second generation of children to school.

It’s clear that her driving has had an influence on youth, including her adult daughter, Sheri, who is now driving the school bus in Condor, Alberta.

“I was joking that I should have been a doctor because my daughter is following in my footsteps,” laughs Graham.

She noted that she married in May, and most of her former passengers know her as Carol Metcalfe.

“I now see kids who I used to drive who will say “Oh, I remember when you drove my bus,” she said.

When Graham first began driving school buses, she had one with a standard transmission and drivers needed to double clutch to shift gears. The buses also had “armstrong steering,” which required strong arms to turn corners. Now some of the buses have cruise control and heated air ride seats for the drivers. Almost all are automatic and have power steering, stereos and a GPS tracking system.

Graham was working night shifts at Rosehaven Care Centre while expecting her first child, and looking for a new career.

“I was looking in the paper one night and saw they were looking for school bus drivers and thought, ‘Oh,

Laurel Nadon Photo Carol Graham has been a school bus driver for 34 years and describes it as a rewarding career.

I could do that’,” Graham said.

A typical day for Graham begins with a pre-trip check of fluids, tires and a complete walk around the bus. She leaves the bus garage at 7 a.m. and returns by 8:45 a.m. The afternoon round begins at 3:15 p.m. and ends at 5 p.m. The day wraps up with cleaning the windows and walking to the end of the bus to ensure that students haven’t fallen asleep and missed their stop.

Graham said that a love

for kids and confidence in driving are key to being a good school bus driver.

“It’s interesting all the time, it’s rewarding. You’re the person who gets them to school in the morning. You sort of set the tone by making sure they’re on time.”

She said that challenges drivers face are winter roads as well as being consistent with student discipline, though she noted she hasn’t had many disciplinary problems with students.

Her least favourite driv-

ing condition is fog, and the division has now installed strobe lights on buses for foggy days. She recalls one day when she was driving on black ice and a sudden gust of wind threatened to tip the bus. She drove into the ditch to avoid being flipped.

Changes over the years include what to do in case of emergency. In previous years, farmers would use tractors to pull school buses from ditches. Now the drivers carry cell phones and can call in when they are stuck. Graham said

that they receive great support from bus supervisors as well as bus maintenance staff.

The phone numbers of students are now entered into an automated phone system for a call out when the buses aren’t running and parents can also check the division’s website.

Another change is that drivers who have young children themselves can now put them into a car seat on the bus and take them along.

Graham noted that many of the drivers have another part-time job. Once her bus is back at the garage in the morning, she heads off to her other job of cleaning rooms at Deer Meadows.

There are about 80 regular drivers and about 50 spare drivers in the school division. Brenda Johnson, director of transportation for the division, noted that they have one driver who has been driving for about 55 years.

“You can teach the skill and train to operate the equipment, but it’s the soft skills that are important, dealing with the students and being passionate about children and taking pride that what you’re doing is an important part of that child’s day,” Johnson said. “You’re contributing to that child’s education just as surely as the classroom teacher is.”

She added that people underestimate the impact that school bus drivers have on students’ lives.

“Sometimes that bus driver is the first smiling face they see in the morning,” Johnson said. “Drivers have an opportunity to be a powerful influence.”

How to treat a loved one who has dementia Submitted

Whether it’s Mom, Dad, Grandma or Grandpa – or your spouse – the “holiday quarter” can present special challenges for families with a loved one suffering from dementia.

“We have an expectation that loved ones should never change from the person we’ve perceived them to be for years, but everyone changes significantly over an extended period, especially those diagnosed with dementia,” said Kerry Mills, a sought-after expert in best care practices for people with dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s.

“Dementia encompasses a wide range of brain diseases, which means it’s not the fault of Grandma if she has trouble remembering things or gets flustered.

Empathy for what she’s experiencing on the level of the brain will help your relationship with her. Do not expect her to meet you halfway to your world; you have to enter her world.”

Spouses have a partic-

ularly difficult time coping with their partner’s dementia, Mills said.

“A spousal relationship is a team and is central to the identities of both people.

So, while you’re paying special attention to a parent’s or grandparent’s condition, extend it to his or her spouse.”

Families tend to have a hard time coping with a loved one’s dementia during holiday gatherings. Mills, co-author with Jennifer A. Brush of I Care, A Handbook for Care Partners of People with Dementia, offers tips for how to interact with a loved one – say, Grandma – whose brain is deteriorating.

Do not get frustrated.

“First, do no harm” – the excellent maxim taught to medical students, is also a great first principle for those interacting with Grandma, who may be experiencing a level of frustration and anxiety you cannot comprehend adequately. She simply doesn’t have access to certain details, but she is still a conscious and feeling person who has plenty to

offer. If you get frustrated, she’ll pick up on it.

Dedicate someone to Grandma during the gathering. Of course, loving families will want to include Grandma in the group, but be careful not to overwhelm her with attention. Her brain, which has trouble processing some information, could use assistance – a liaison to help her process things. Grandpa could probably use a break; her son or daughter may be the best handler during a gathering.

Give Grandma purpose; give her a task in the kitchen. Keep Grandma, who may have been prolific in the kitchen in the past, engaged!

Simple tasks, such as mashing potatoes or stirring gravy, may be best. Engage her in conversation about the food.

If it’s Grandpa who is suffering dementia, include him in a group. Give him a cigar if the other men are going outside to smoke. Engage him in a conversation about football, which may allow him on his own terms to recall details from the past.

Use visual imagery and do not ask yes-or-no questions. Again, asking someone with Alzheimer’s to remember a specific incident 23 years ago can be like asking someone confined to a wheelchair to run a 40-yard dash – it’s physically impossible. Don’t pigeonhole her.

Direct Grandma in conversation; say things to her that may stimulate recollection, but don’t push a memory that may not be there.

Pictures are often an excellent tool.

Safety is your biggest priority. Whether during a holiday gathering or in general, Grandma may commit herself to activities she shouldn’t be doing, such as driving.

“She’s been driving for decades, and then she develops a memory problem, which not only prevents her from remembering her condition, but also how to drive safely,” Mills said. “This major safety concern applies to any potentially dangerous aspect to life.”

“Currently, there’s a stigma with the condition, but I’d like to change the baseline for how we regard dementia,” Mills said. “As with other medical conditions, Alzheimer’s should not be about waiting to die – patients often live 15 years or more after a diagnosis.

It should be about living with it.”

Kerry Mills, MPA, is an expert in best care practices for persons with dementia both in the home and in out-of-home health care residences and organizations. She is a consultant to numerous hospitals, assisted livings, hospice, home care agencies, senior day care centers and nursing homes. In her twelveyear career in health care, she has served as executive director and regional manager for numerous long-term dementia facilities. She is an outspoken advocate for persons with dementia, lecturing in Hong Kong, Canada, China, Europe and the United States.

The complete roster of artists for this year’s Big Valley Jamboree from July 30 to Aug. 2 was unveiled last week.

A blend of past BVJ favourites and several newcomers have been assembled for this summer at the Camrose Regional Exhibition.

The Thursday night Kick-Off Party will be featuring two newcomers to the BVJ stage and another country classic. The Orchard (7 p.m.) is bringing its powerful brand of country blues to the party and will be joined by the genre-blending four piece The Dead South from Regina (on at 8 p.m.).

Returning for his fourth BVJ performance at 9:30 p.m., Mark Chesnutt will share the authentic honky-tonk style and personal lyricism that earned him his place as a country star. The evening will conclude with Dallas Smith taking the stage at 11:30 p.m.

Friday afternoon’s music begins with the Washboard Union at 1 p.m. Alberta’s own Hey Romeo will follow, featuring lead singer Stacie Roper, originally from Hay Lakes, at 2 p.m. Alberta Legend Ian Tyson begins at 3:30 p.m. followed by Chris Young at 5 p.m. and The Band Perry at 7:30 p.m. The day concludes with Reba at 9 p.m.

Saturday’s fans will be welcoming two new faces to the main-stage, along with a returning group of countryfusion crowd pleasers. The Lovelocks start the day on the main stage. They will be followed by Tebey, who has written songs for a bevy of country and pop superstars.

The stories he’ll sing at BVJ are entirely his own.

Charlie Worsham has also rubbed shoulders with some country legends in his extensive touring.

With two BVJ performances already under their belts, The Mavericks will be right at home when they bring their latin-influenced country jams to the main stage. Justin Moore and Brad Paisley, who are currently touring together, are the last two acts of the day in the concert bowl.

On Sunday, Blake Reid starts the music off with his first BVJ performance. He is a true Albertan farm boy.

Crowd favourite Beverley Mahood, Del McCoury Bans, Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans, Lee Brice and the headliner of the weekend, Lady Antebellum, will wrap up the music festival weekend.

Spoon River returns to Camrose for encore show

By Murray Green

Spoon River wanted to leave the coast for a short three-stop tour of Alberta.

Edmonton and Calgary were given spots, but the third location was Camrose because of sentimental reasons.

“We played in Camrose three years ago in part of the Rose City Roots Music Society series,” said lead singer Travis Triance. “We had such a good time and were well received by the audience, so we wanted to return. They were a great listening audience. For the past three years, we have been trying to get back to Camrose.”

A Roots Society member

confirmed the return concert has on their list for awhile as well.

Triance said going to the Bailey this time adds another layer of interest.

“We have played at similar venues (Rickshaw Theatre in Vancouver), so we are excited to play there. We have tailored our sets for the Bailey Theatre. The first set will be more of a solo acoustic roots type of a performance and we will build up to our higher energy music boogie.

Although it is good to be close to the audience, we won’t be as crowded this time.”

The Vancouver based psych-rock band Spoon River will be performing on April 24 at the Bailey Theatre beginning at 8 p.m.

Last November, the band released its sophomore album The New Sun Ahhhhh Hotel.

Spoon River is a band with a colourful past. Formed in 2008 in Montreal, it is a large and shifting family scattered all across Canada.

Founded by songwriter Triance and his wife, Rachel Horkenheimer, their addresses have changed repeatedly and they ended up in Vancouver.

“My wife and I were a bit restless and we moved around.

We are both from B.C. so it was coming home for us. We still have former band members in Montreal that we use for recording,” said Triance.

The latest album offers pulsing tributaries of sun drenched psychedelic rock and roll and scuffling garage boogie reminiscent of offbeat musical trailblazers T-Rex. The album was mixed by Triance and David Carswell of Destroyer and New Pornographers fame, and was recorded between Montreal’s Breakglass Recording Studios, home of Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas of the Besnard Lakes, and Vancouver’s up and coming Afterlife and Rain City studios. The New Sun Ahhhhh Hotel marks a slight change in sound for the band. Their critically acclaimed debut album Kingdom of The Burned, released back in 2009, was more southern rock than psychedelic, but it’s part of the Spoon River magic.

Spoon River is Tavis Eachan Triance on lead vocals, Rachel Horkenheimer, vocals and keyboard, Chris Young on bass, Kris Welch on guitar, Anya Colussi on dueling keyboards and Gabriel Cohen on drums.

“We will be missing a keyboard player on our tour, so we will have five members instead of six. But, it will still sound great,” said Triance. “She is literally expecting to give birth that weekend. We have a one-year-old as well, so that is why our Alberta tour is short. We would have liked to add Lethbridge to our tour, but it didn’t work out. Next time. We are starting our 11th anniversary show in Calgary, but we wanted to add Camrose and Edmonton since we were in Alberta already.”

Spoon River enjoys playing in Alberta because people have a passion for music.

“People really listen to live music and as a band we love that.”

Triance has songs written already for the band’s third upcoming album.

“I also have some material from a solo album. I will be testing a few songs for our upcoming album out on the Camrose audience,” he added.

Spoon River enjoys blending three part harmonies with sonic music to create a good live stage.

“The live show is multi-layered and we are a pretty high energy group. We have nice melodies for people to latch onto,” explained Triance. “It will definitely be an entertaining night.”

Stampeders set to rock at the Bailey Theatre

By Murray Green

The Stampeders were the best Canadian rock and roll group in the early 70s.

Although they have aged, the band still performs the iconic hits with zest.

Stampeders will be performing at the Bailey Theatre on April 23 at 8 p.m.

The Stampeders were truly the country’s international musical ambassadors from 1971 to 76. Instead of trying to blend into any specific format, they developed their own identity, which was both entertaining to watch in concert and to listen to on radio and records.

The Stampeders also toured more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group of the same period.

Rich Dodson, Kim Berly and Ronnie King can be traced back to Calgary in 1964 with a band called The Rebounds, formed when drummer, Kim Meyer (Berly), answered an ad placed in the paper by bassist Brendan Lyttle and guitarist Rich Dodson.

In January 1965, The Rebounds entered into a rela-

tionship with manager, Mel Shaw and officially became The Stampeders. Len Roemer was replaced by Cornelis Van Sprang, known professionally as Ronnie King, and his brother, Emile, who used the stage name Van Louis.

The six-man group started wearing assorted coloured denim outfits and cowboy hats with the idea of promoting a group of cowboys playing rock ‘n roll.

In 1966 the Stampeders loaded up their $800, used, 1962 Cadillac limousine and U-haul trailer and left Calgary heading east to the ‘big lights’ of Toronto.

Upon their arrival, the Western-Canadian band, with their yellow denim T-Kays, cowboy boots and hats, became an immediate curiosity in the folk-oriented, hippie clubs of the Yorkville district. Though the first year was an extremely lean one, the band managed to survive the six-month Toronto Musician’s Association initiation and find work in the bustling Toronto club scene.

The Stampeders finally had a breakthrough late in ‘68 with a single they record-

ed while on a sight-seeing trip to New York. Although it wasn’t much of a sales success, it had critical acclaim that earned the group a BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated) award.

Late in 1968, the three oldest members left the band, leaving the famous trio to pursue stardom. The band’s first number one song, “Carry Me,” was released in 1969.

The stage set-up had Dodson on guitar, King on bass and Berly on drums, while all three members shared lead vocals.

“Sweet City Woman” vaulted the group to major headliners in 1971 and the song earned the band a Juno.

“Devil You” reached number eight in Canada. In 1972, “Wild Eyes” and “Monday Morning Choo Choo” reached number two.

The band had 12 hits place in the top five on the music charts including “Oh My Lady”, “Minstel Gypsy” and “Hit the Road Jack” with legendary DJ Wolfman Jack.

The Stampeders made their comeback in 1992 at the Calgary Stampede and continue to tour across Canada.

e t a r b e Cel Re-use common items Every time you use an item for an idea beyond its original manufactured intent, you have increased the validity of that product and, in turn, keep people employed. You also discover ways to reduce waste, and that’s a good thing. Here are just a few items, with five ways to use them in new ways.

Aluminum Foil

It’s more than just for warming food. Rinse them off and use foil scraps for these reasons.

1. Layer about seven pieces of foil and cut through them with scissors that are dull. The foil will sharpen the scissors again.

2. Use a ball of spare foil to clean baked-on pots and pans. It works just as well as steel wool.

3. Foil makes great gift wrapping in a pinch.

4. Think about how many children’s dress-up costumes can be created with foil. From robots to martians to angels.

5. Use a double-thickness of foil as a piping bag when doing cake decorating.

Paper Bags

Sure, it may seem that paper bags have faced extinction, but as more people realize the benefits of going green, paper bags are making a comeback. They can do a heck of a lot more than just carry groceries.

1. Do we even need to mention that paper bags are the primary material of choice for covering textbooks?

2. Kids can cut bags into placemats to bring along to restaurants or other people’s homes. Just pack along crayons and they can color while waiting for food.

3. Durable paper bags can be used as recycling collectors and easily sort recyclable items.

4. From masks to aprons, paper bag costumes are limited only by the imagination.

5. Crumple bags to form a way to add textured paint applications to walls and furniture.

Baby Food Jars

Moms and dads out there know that a hungry baby goes through dozens of jars of baby food a month. That’s a lot of recycling! There are ways to reuse baby food jars, though.

1. Many baby food jars are just the right size for holding a votive candle.

2. Use these cute jars for storing buttons or other small notions that inevitably get misplaced.

3. Use the jars to hold homemade spice blends.

You can also transfer storebought spices to the baby food jars so all spices are in uniformly sized containers for a more organized pantry.

4. Personalize your paint palette by using jars to mix paints. They can also hold paint for young artists.

5. Hardware storage is easy when you keep small nails, screws, bolts, or whatever in sealed jars.

“The certificate I received removed a bit of the stress I was feeling when I was studying for my citizenship exam,” said the Camrose wife and mother.

Doiron applied to become a Canadian citizen three years ago.

“I had lived in Camrose for seven years as a permanent resident and decided it was time,” she said.

“I wanted to have the rights of Canadians and be able to vote on who represents me in Ottawa.”

Doiron came to Canada for the first time in 2005 from her native Peru to visit her best friend in Drumheller.

Her first impression was that Canada was a cold place.

“I came in the winter, which was the wrong time,” she said.

It was while she was staying with her friend that she met the man she would eventually marry.

“My friend was his friend and she introduced us,” she said.

Doiron was only planning to stay for two months but was able to obtain an extension visa to extend that to six.

“I was back in Peru for two months when he (husband) came down for our marriage,” she said. “He left after 20 days but I still had to make application to become a permanent resident and wasn’t able to

reunite with him again until seven months later.”

Doiron didn’t take any citizenship courses but read several books about Canada’s history and culture, and enrolled in an English as a Second Language program with Camrose Adult Read and Write program coordinator Arlene Simmons before taking her English equivalency test.

Doiron admits she is sometimes overwhelmed with the number of opportunities that are available to Canadians.

“It is a wealthy country,” she said. “Peru is a poorer country and is still developing,” she said.

Doiron is currently working at Bethany and at Sunrise Village.

Bergen and her husband of now 28 years came to Canada eight years ago from Belize where they planted and sold corn and soybeans on a piece of land approximately two hours west of Belize City.

“We didn’t know at first whether we were going to stay or not but we knew that we had support from my husband’s family and my sister, who were here already,” she said.

Bergen was able to stay only two months for the first time before going back home to renew the passports for both herself and her children, a process that took about six weeks.

“My husband didn’t have to go back because he had already received his citizenship,” she said.

Bergen knew before leaving Belize for the first time that Canada was where she wanted to live.

“I told him that we should go there and never come back,” she said. “I don’t know why I said that because I had never been there before.”

Like Doiron, Bergen had to adjust to the different climate.

“When we arrived in May it was cold and raining,” she said. “I could feel the difference in the temperature of the rain and didn’t want to be outside.”

Bergen was immediately impressed with the quality of the roads, even in the countryside, and the fairness of the police services.

“The police here are honest with everyone,” she said. “In Belize there is little respect for police and if you have money you don’t really have to pay for the crimes you commit.”

Bergen applied to become a Canadian citizen three years ago.

“I took two or three citizenship courses with Arlene and did some English classes,” she said.

“I also helped Arlene as a translator when she was teaching English classes to other Mennonite mothers.”

The Camrose Adult Read and Write Program offers six week citizenship training programs twice a year.

“The courses cover how the country was formed and how it has developed and involve a lot of conversations, as opposed to memorization,” said Simmons.

“We usually have a turnout of about six to eight students each time.

The first time people take it they are still struggling with the English language, but after that they are more comfortable with the questions they are being asked.”

Simmons said it is satisfying to her to see the students who have taken classes from her receive their Canadian citizenship.

“Seeing them hold their Canadian citizenship papers is a very fun and a very rewarding part of the job.”

Covenant Health St. Mary’s provides update

By Dan Jensen

Committee of the whole council heard about the good work being done at Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital March 16.

Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose executive director Cherylyn Antymniuk told councillors that the hospital has started new ambulatory clinic.

“The reason that we started this clinic (in November 2014) was that most of the ambulatory patients were being seen in our emergency department and they were not timely visits,” said Antymniuk.

“Sometimes a patient would be transferred to an inpatient unit to be able to have a blood transfusion or an iron injection.”

The clinic has already seen about 200 patients.

“We are just now going back to see what the satisfaction is with the patients and the staff,” said Antymniuk. “The majority of what I have heard is that it is well received.”

The hospital has also started a new recreational therapy pilot project with funding from the Bone and Joints Clinical Network that is designed to reduce stress on those with fractured hips and shorten the amount of time they spend in hospital.

“They do life skills like sewing and baking three times a week so when they go home they have the opportunity to be better suited for that discharge,” said Antymniuk. “Our hope is that we will see a great benefit from this and that it will continue to receive funding.”

Covenant Health St. Mary’s usually sees about six fractured hips per week.

An Alberta Health Services funded program the hospital will be starting in

June in partnership with the Primary Care Network is Hospitalist.

“This is for inpatients only, so if you are admitted to the hospital in Camrose what you will find is that Hospitalist will be taking over your care rather than your general practitioner, which is what is currently happening,” said Antymniuk.

Hospitalist will be led by a nurse who will see all the inpatient admissions (with the exception of obstetrics and surgery patients) and care for them during the stay.

“Once you are discharged from the hospital your general practitioner will be caring for you,” said Antymniuk. “If you do not have a general practitioner you will be referred to a Primary Care Network clinic so that you do not fall through the cracks and have the follow up care that is required.”

The hospital is proud of its Stroke Unit Equivalent Care and Early Supportive Discharge programs, which involve staff going to the homes of patients to do rehabilitation work.

“To date we have seen 62 Stroke Unit Equivalent Care and 44 Early Supportive Discharge (patients),” said Antymniuk. “When we first started this project we were supposed to see 20 Early Supportive Discharge (patients), so it has been a great success. Last year, St. Mary’s rated 90 per cent for Early Supportive Discharge and 93 per cent for Stroke Unit Equivalent Care. We also ranked highest in the province for patient satisfaction with Early Supportive Discharge.”

St. Mary’s is waiting to see what the impact will be of a non-funded trial program involving physio stu-

dents at Augustana and the neurology clinic.

“The intent of this is to look after persistent neurological patients and give them a boost of therapy to see if they can’t stay in their homes longer,” said Antymniuk. “It is something our rehab team feels very passionately about. We hope that we will be able to partner with Augustana again next year. We have had great success with it so far and we are hoping to continue it.”

St. Mary’s does a gallop survey with its staff every two years to make sure that it is meeting their needs.

“They (staff) get to answer 12 questions on the work environment, as well as questions about the support they receive from their manager and whether they have the proper equipment to do their job,” said Antymniuk.

Covenant Health (which includes St. Mary’s) was named one of Alberta’s top 70 employers for attraction and retention.

Local boards Council also heard about the work being done by the St. Mary’s Hospital Community and Foundation Board to identify and, with the help of the Covenant Health board in Edmonton, address local needs.

“We started the process three or four years ago when we met with a number of stakeholders who helped to identify what the unmet needs were in the community,” said board member Carolyn Andersen. “Through that strategies were developed on which we continue to work.”

The board is currently advocating for greater prenatal services and working with the Primary Care Network to look at how new

services and programming can be developed.

The board’s’s successes in recent years have included the St. Mary’s Hospital chapel fundraiser, scholarship presentations and equipment purchases.

“The board donates money for equipment on an annual basis,” said Andersen. “Over the past two years we have funded a medi-station and a biopsy machine.”

Pilot projects Councillor Agnes Hoveland said St. Mary’s Hospital has been successful in attracting many pilot projects, including the Hospitalist program.

“The Hospitalist program exists in urban centres but Camrose has been selected as the first rural site in Alberta. (St. Mary’s) has a track record in Camrose around the level of commitment and the partnerships with Augustana, the City and County.”

Councillor Wayne Throndson said St. Mary’s Hospital is a jewel of which the community can be proud.

“The outside people coming into Camrose – the cardiologists, the urologists, the physiotherapy students – are absolutely amazed at the quality of the facility and the quality of staff that we have.

That is hats off to Cherylyn and the rest of the board and staff.”

Throndson suggested that council have a meeting with St. Mary’s to discuss how it will be impacted by the provincial budget.

“I would like to know what challenges will be faced,” he said. “Hopefully not too many, but I suspect not. I suspect that we will all face significant challenges.”

Sun Salutations from my living room

Downward Dog. Threading the Needle.

Sun Salutations. Cobra.

Child’s Pose. Warrior 2. I am learning a new language, the language of yoga!

When my sisterin-law, who is taking a yoga teacher training course, offered to give free yoga lessons in our home to practice instruction, I immediately said yes. I’ve taken pilates before and the idea of yoga and strengthening our cores and stretching our tired muscles was appealing to me. So far I’ve been paying her back with baked goods.

On our first night of instruction, I must admit I found it hard not to have a case of the giggles as it just seemed like an odd thing to do in our living room. Our large, outdoor dog must have found it odd as well, as she peered in a window at us for most of the class.

We visited a bit at the beginning, then focused on learning the poses. At one point I asked if I could use this experience as inspiration for a column, and I was quickly shushed by a fellow participant because, after all, we were in class. After a bit of discussion on who was allowed to take their socks off and who was not, we returned to our learning.

I focused on my sister-in-law’s voice, focused on where my left arm was supposed to be, and suddenly found my mind wasn’t meandering in five different directions (what am I making for supper tomorrow? Should we invite someone over for a playdate this week? Did I remember to respond to that last text message I received? You get the picture).

I realize as I write this that most of my columns to date have focused on relaxing and finding replenishing activities. This is just my season of life. I’m in the season of interrupted sleeps (right after Christmas, it appeared my two youngest children had drawn up a schedule so that they could take turns waking me up), the season of constant conversation interruption, the season of balancing my children’s activities with pastimes that I find fulfilling, and yes, the season of having my thoughts constantly planning for what’s ahead.

Now, I love being a mommy. I love kissing those chubby ice-cream-cone shaped fingers, cheering at a soccer game and building forts in our living room. But it is a whirlwind. Any experience that can make me slow down, breathe, and remove the cobwebs from my brain is definitely something worth doing.

I found with each passing week that I was waiting for it to be Tuesday, class night. By our third class, word of our informal yoga instruction had spread amongst my family and instead of having three students, there were six. We pushed our couch back, rolled out more yoga mats (or bath mats, or whatever small rugs we could find) and began.

At one point, with my left arm over my right knee and my right arm stretched behind me, I had my husband and both brothers (oops, I mean three male members of my family) in my line of vision doing the same pose and briefly had to stifle some laughter again. I thought how odd and yet how refreshing it was to be meeting this way and having frequent opportunities to share the little stories that make up our lives.

An hour of focusing on how my body moves gives my mind a chance to relax. We need times to unwind and refocus, no matter our “season of life.”

Augustana librarian receives Women and Gender Studies award From the American Library Association

Augustana head librarian Nancy Goebel has been named winner of the 2015 Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Women and Gender Studies Section (WGSS) Award for significant achievement in women’s studies librarianship.

The WGSS award honors a significant or one-time contribution to women’s studies librarianship.

A plaque will be presented to Goebel at the WGSS program on Monday, June 29, during the ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco.

In 2009, Goebel adapted the idea of a living library from a human rights NGO program in Denmark for an academic context. Conducted twice a year, the Augustana human library is an opportunity for students, faculty, staff and community members to learn about the experiences of another person in a structured and safe space for both the “Reader” and the “Human Book.”

The goals of the Augustana human library are to create opportunities for individuals to learn and share experiences, develop tools for mutual respect and respect for human dignity and to provide occasion for Readers to reflect on their own experiences and prejudices.

Students are encouraged to think about and explore the connections between what they learn from the human library conversations and traditional scholarly materials and research, providing rich opportunities to see first-hand how qualitative work can inform and deepen our knowledge of the world.

“The committee was so impressed by the impact this unique and innovative program is having on the

Nancy Goebel

Augustana community,” said award chair Heather Tompkins, reference and instruction librarian for the humanities at Carleton College. “Many of the narratives in the human library in 2014 focus on experiences deeply relevant to women and gender studies: students, and community members, including balancing motherhood and school, challenging transphobia, and healing from sexual abuse. Nominators spoke at length about the ways this project fosters connections, promotes understanding, and provides deep learning experiences.

“The words engagement, compassion, and life-changing came up frequently when faculty who have been involved with the human library, either as Human Books, Readers, or professors using this resource in their courses. One recommender said, “The notion of human libraries being a place to promote understanding and compassion through exploring prejudice and stereotyping by the narratives of those volunteering to be read is powerful. The Augustana human library

helps our fundamental humanity emerge through bringing people together for inquiry and dialogue.”

Nancy’s leadership and role in positioning the library as a leader and facilitator in this kind of inquiry and dialogue make it an exemplary program to serve women and gender studies students and faculty, and to encourage thoughtful engagement with gender on campus and in the community.”

Goebel received her B.A. in music from Camrose Lutheran College and her MLIS from the University of Alberta. She was also the recipient of ACRL’s IS Innovation Award in 2010 (along with Dylan Anderson), and has been recognized by the University of Alberta with the Augustana Campus 2013 Murray Lauber Award for Distinguished Service.

For more information regarding the ACRL WGSS Award for Significant Achievement in Woman’s Studies Librarianship, or a complete list of past recipients, please visit the awards section of the ACRL website.

The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) is the higher education association for librarians. Representing more than 11,500 academic and research librarians and interested individuals, ACRL (a division of the American Library Association) is the only individual membership organization in North America that develops programs, products and services to help academic and research librarians learn, innovate and lead within the academic community. Founded in 1940, ACRL is committed to advancing learning and transforming scholarship.

Put a little step into your spring by participating in the Camrose Primary Care Network’s Get Out Get Active Challenge.

You can challenge yourself to get active from April 27 to June 7 by trekking your way through an African safari adventure.

Camrose is joining with nine Edmonton and Area Primary Care Networks to offer a fun way for you to work towards a healthier you.

This year’s challenge is a six week on-line program for all ages which keeps track of your physical fitness activities (walking, running, swimming, basketball, or cycling) and then turns them into steps to virtually take you on an African Safari.

“Participating is easy, totally free and you can win great prizes along the way,” said Colleen Lindholm of PCN. “Not only will you be working towards a healthier you, but by logging your

New Hours Thurs.- Fri. 1-5 pm, Sat. 10-4 pm, Appointment Only: Thurs. 5-8 pm.

Appointments highly recommended

steps and activity regularly at www.GetOutGetActive PCN.com you will be eligible for the 2015 Get Out Get Active grand prize of an African themed gift pack.”

By being a part of a larger regional initiative this year, the Camrose PCN annual virtual trek will operate a little differently.

“Individuals who live in the Camrose PCN catchment area will join under the Camrose PCN group and compete individually against other Edmonton area PCN teams. Participating PCN’s include Alberta Heartland, Camrose, Edmonton North, Edmonton Southside, Edmonton West, Kalyna Country, Leduc/Beaumont/Devon, Sherwood Park/Strathcona County, St. Albert and Westview,” explained Colleen.

You can register for this free activity challenge

by going to www.GetOutGetActivePCN.com. Beginning April 27, start keeping track of your fitness activities and log on regularly to enter your steps.

While participants are welcome to use a pedometer or other step tracking device, the on-line program will also calculate other activities such as swimming, biking, or basketball into steps, so all fitness activities can count towards your steps.

Each of the participating PCN’s will be doing some local initiatives for the challenge. The Camrose PCN will be partnering with the Augustana Fitness Centre, which once again will play a substantial role in the success of the challenge.

An outdoor Zumba Class will kick-off the trek.

The class will be held in the far east Camrose Recreation Centre parking lot at

www.interiorsonmain.com 4965-50 Street, Camrose 780-672-3622 Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.

noon, Monday April 27. The first 50 people to the event will get a free Trek t-shirt.

Everyone who registers for the Get Out Get Active Challenge will receive six free drop-in passes at the Augustana Fitness Centre, which can be used anytime throughout the challenge (ends June 7).

Colleen wants to see your pictures.

“Send us photos of your activities and the more creative the better. Each photo you send will allow you to enter into a draw for an Augustana Fitness Centre full year membership,” said Colleen.

Tweet photos with the hashtags #GOGASafariSelfie and/or #WinAugFitPass, post them on the Camrose Primary Care Network Facebook page, email them to

info@camrosepcn.com, or drop them off at the Augustana Fitness Centre at the Camrose Recreation Centre.

To help kick-start your week, join some Camrose PCN and Augustana Fitness Centre team members for a quick 30 minute lunch time walk. Meet each Monday outside the Camrose Recreation Centre for a 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. walk outside. It is a great way to meet new people and step into the right direction of having an active week.

Visit www.GetOut GetActivePCN.com or www.camrosepcn.com for more information on the challenge and put a little step in your spring trekking your way through an African Safari adventure.

2015 Ford Edge A showcase of innovation Craig Beddoes

By Dan Jensen

The 2015 Edge at Lamb Ford Sales is a showcase of innovation. From a new design that excites to technology features that comfort, the all-new Edge sets a benchmark for Ford utility vehicles.

Available driverassist technologies include enhanced active park assist, adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support, an 180 degree front camera with washer, standard rear camera, glove boxmounted airbag system, inflatabe rear safety belts and Ford’s unique handsfree liftgate.

Body and suspension The 2015 Edge delivers the confident, smooth driving experience customers expect from Ford.

“The all-new Edge has been remade in every single detail – always keeping in mind the customer who expects something distinctive and powerful,” said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read. “With a structure more rigid than ever and a suspension tuned to the highest global standards, the 2015 Edge is a hightech utility that delivers a special driving experi-

ence customers will fee from their initial moments behind the wheel.”

The front and rear suspension has been resdesigned to better isolate road imperfections and absorb noise without compromising handling.

Steering feel is improved 30 per cent, with parking effort reduced by 30 per cent thanks in part to the new electric powerassisted steering.

Two new engines The all-new Ford Edge features three engine options, two of which are new powerplants – a standard twin scroll 2.0 litre EcoBoost four-cylinder and a 2.7 litre EcoBoost V6. A naturally aspirated 3.5 litre V6 engine is available.

The twin-scroll 2.0 litre EcoBoost, making 245 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque, is significantly improved over the previous 2.0 litre EcoBoost. Beyond efficiency advantages, the new engine provides more capability. Edge equipped with the 2.0 litre EcoBoost can be ordered with newly available all-wheel-drive and a towing package capable of hauling a 3,500 pound trailer.

A lighter engine block

casting, along with new aluminum balance shaft assembly, shaves six pounds from the engine’s gravitational weight.

Fuel economy ratings are still among the best in the segment.

The 2.7 litre EcoBoost engine provides an exceptional combination of power and efficiency. The new V6 delivers a small increase in horsepower over the previous 3.7 V6 and a 25 per cent increase in torque for a total of 315 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque.

All three Edge engines are mated to Ford’s SelectShift six-speed automatic transmission featuring standard paddle-shift activation, giving drivers the ability to manually select gears via race-inspired paddles on the steering wheel.

The SelectShift transmission features two modes of operation – drive and sport. Sport mode offers a more aggressive shift pattern, allowing the engine to rev higher during acceleration and hold lower gears longer to support spirited, fast paced sessions.

The intelligent allwheel-drive system for

the Edge is on demand and seamless – there are no knobs or switches to activate. An electronically controlled clutch, which can engage faster than a human can blink, transfers power between front and rear axles, sending up to 100 per cent of the power to the front or the rear.

Technology Active grille shutters help improve aerodynamics, particularly at highway speeds.

Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support uses radar to detect moving vehicles directly ahead and change the cruising speed if necessary.

The Blind Spot Information System users radar to trigger a warning when another motorist is in the driver’s blind spots.

Cross-traff ic alert uses radar to help alert drivers to oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking space.

Forward and reverse sensing systems provide audible alerts designed to help drivers avoid obstacles when parking.

A simple kick motion

below the centre of the rear bumper allows customers to unlock and raise the tailgate.

An active glove box knee airbag uses glove box front to cushion the knees of the front passenger in a crash.

AdvaceT rac w ith Roll Stability Control uses sensors to measure the roll rate of the vehicle and predict its roll angle. Based on this information and measurements from other vehicle dynamics sensors, the system can adjust engine torque and brake pressure at all four wheels to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle.

Curve Control uses the same sensors as Roll Stability Control to detect and measure roll rate, yaw rate, lateral acceleration, wheel speed and steering wheel angle to help drivers follow their intended path by slowing the vehicle more efficiently while maneuvering a curve.

You can see the 2015 Ford Edge at Lamb Ford Sales, 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-6722411 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Beyata Hackborn gave a solo performance at Bethel Lutheran Church April 15. Hackborn, who is in Grade 12, has been doing musical theatre with AboutTime Productions for the last nine years.

RENT TO OWN over a 3-year period.

By Dan Jensen

Cathie Johnson couldn’t suppress her pride after hearing music theatre adjudicators heap praise on the young members of AboutTime Productions at the Camrose and District Music Festival last week.

“They deserve it,” said the AboutTime Productions artistic director. “They have all worked very hard at refining their skills and the things they showed tonight is an accumulation of everything they have learned.”

The performances were ones they had prepared on their own. “The pieces they did for the adjudicators were of their own choosing,” said Johnson. “We (AboutTime) didn’t have anything to say about them.”

Beyata Hackborn, who has been doing musical theatre with AboutTime for the last nine years and is currently the resident and costume set designer, performed the role of Cassandra in “I Really Really Love You (Stalker)” from the song cycle Sort of Love Songs by Scott Berkel and Paul Loesel.

“Doing the song took a lot of work because there were so many words,” said Hackborn, who had musical accompaniment from Tova Olson. “Other than that, though, it was pretty easy.”

Hackborn has always enjoyed playing characters other than herself.

“I think it is good therapy and a way to get to know yourself,” she said.

Hackborn admitted to being nervous while she was waiting for her turn.

“It is a little nerve-wracking because you know that they (adjudicators) are going to judge you later, but I think it is constructive because they are going to teach you how to be better,” she said.

Her performance was one that had everyone in the room spellbound.

“It was brilliant,” said Johnson, who doesn’t use the word “brilliant” very often. “She was totally into her role. I stopped thinking when I was watching her and simply enjoyed.”

Charles McDonald, a third year member of AboutTime and a student of Charlene Brown, performed Luck Be a Lady, impressing adjudicators with both his range and his pitch.

National Prayer Breakfast held in Ottawa April 21 The 50th Annual National Prayer Breakfast will be held in Ottawa on Tuesday, April 21. During the week of the Prayer Breakfast, Parliament Hill will welcome over 800 guests and delegates from all religious denominations and from all across Canada to the Prayer Breakfast. But beyond the Breakfast itself, there is also the Monday evening Leadership Dinner, the annual Leadership Seminar, and the National Student Forum.

The mission of the National Prayer Breakfast is to invite leaders to meet in the spirit of Jesus Christ in order to pray together.

At the heart of the National Prayer Breakfast is a small group of Parliamentarians from different political parties who meet for breakfast each Wednesday morning while Parliament is in session.

The annual National Prayer Breakfast is more visible, but the weekly meetings are far more significant. The weekly meetings provide opportunities for deeper friendships to flourish and grow, across party lines.

The National Prayer Breakfast is attended by Parliamentarians from all parties in the House of Commons. It is a special time for us, as it brings to our attention the

spiritual nature of our work on behalf of Canadians of all religions Many of us feel that spiritual matters and our faith are not ‘best hidden away inside a building’ but shared and celebrated in every aspect of our day to day lives. Spiritual implications give special meaning to the countless ceremonies and proceedings of Canada’s Parliament.

In Canada, our Aboriginal people have always been very up-front when it comes to their spirituality. Our aboriginal community regularly and routinely has a public and spiritual component to their meetings and ceremonies. Their ancient traditions and ours recognize

Something and Someone greater than ourselves.

The people leading the National Prayer Breakfast ask for strength and wisdom for the leaders of our country.

They appeal to audiences to be steadfast in support and prayer, because there will be both good and bad times to come. They request protection and guidance.

I pray that our federal government will accomplish many, many good and wonderful things for Canada. I am grateful and proud that in our free nation the ceremonies we conduct can show that it is alright to recognize that there is a spiritual side to life. It reminds us

Football players attend camps

By Murray Green

Camrose Composite High School Trojans football player Devon Moss is an allstar.

The receiver cracked the northern team that will play in the Football Alberta Senior Bowl. Moss attended a selection camp on April 12 at Foote Field in Edmonton and was one of 42 players from the top graduating Grade 12 high school football players to represent Northern Alberta in the 26th annual Senior Bowl in Calgary’s McMahon Stadium on Monday, May 18.

Edmonton Huskies and Edmonton Wildcats coaching staffs helped with on-field work. The U of A Golden Bears added support staff and the facility. The team will reconvene in Calgary on Friday, May 15, to prepare for the Senior Bowl. The series is tied 12-12-1 between north and south since 1990.

Border Bowl

Several local players qualified for the All Canada Gridiron’s Alberta Border Bowl to play in the third annual High School All-star Bowl clash.

Five CCHS players will be playing in the game, including Michael Davidse, Connor Pearson, Austin Thompson, Brandon Thompson and Alex Loosemore.

The Rising Star Bowl is for all high school players currently in Grade 10 and 11. Future Stars is for Grade 8 and 9 bantam players.

The Border Bowl began three years ago with Alberta Rural Rising Stars visiting Kelowna. Last year, Alberta won in Lacombe and this year the game will be in Kamloops.

The top 48 players will represent their province in the Saturday, May 23 Rising Star bowl game.

This year there will be a Future Star Bowl and Rising Star Bowl to give many CIS and CJFL coaches an opportunity to view a multitude of outstanding young football players.

Two Camrose Buffaloes made the Alberta Young Stars team. Lachlan Stevens from Hay Lakes and Kevin Kittler of Camrose will also be going to Kamloops for the Victoria Day long weekend.

Tryouts for the Alberta Bantam Bowl start on April 18 and 19 in Edmonton.

Some former Buffaloes will be trying out for the squad.

Registration for the Buffaloes spring camp will be on May 14. More information can found on website www. camrosebuffaloes.com.

Music Festival Continued from page 33

“He has come a long way over the last few years because he loves to sing and loves learning how to sing,” said Johnson. “He did one performance in last year’s music festival and in this year’s he is doing two.”

Kendra Bell, who holds down one of the lead roles in the AboutTime Productions performance of 13 at the Bailey Theatre the second weekend in June, and went to provincials in musical theatre in 2014, performed “What it means to be a Friend.”

She has been a member of AboutTime Productions for the last six years.

The solo component of the musical theatre competition involved seven members of AboutTime Productions.

April 16

On April 14 at approximately 10:15 p.m., police received information that a 43-year-old man was breaching conditions of his recognizance by being out of his residence past his curfew. The man was quickly located and arrested and charged with breaching a condition of his recognizance. He was later released on bail to appear in Camrose Provincial Court to face the charge.

Police received a 911 call from a female who indicated her common law boyfriend had just assaulted her and fled the area in a vehicle. A short time later police located and arrested the man hiding out in his vehicle in the parking lot of a Camrose business. The male had a history of domestic violence against the same victim and was currently out on two probation orders stemming from those previous convictions. The male was noticeable intoxicated, and was arrested and charged with assault and six breaches of his probation order.

April 15

An east end lumber business notified police that someone had cut the fence of their compound and stole approximately 65 10-foot two-by-fours. Anyone having information is asked to contact the police or crime stoppers..

Officers mediated a domestic dispute between a 51-year-old male and a 43-year-old female. Police determined that no assault took place and the couple was separated for the remaining of the night.

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.

COMMUNITY WEDDING SHOWER for Cody Broughton and Charlene Bauer on Sunday, April 26, 2:30 p.m., Meeting Creek Community Centre. Ladies, please bring lunch.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

ROUND HILL COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE – Saturday, May 2, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

To book a table phone Mary Ellen at 780-672-7353. $5 a table.

Be Honest

EMIL BOSMANS MEMORIAL GARDEN SPRING CLEAN-UP Monday, April 27, 6:30 p.m.

Everyone urged to come and help.

Please bring lunch.

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.

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.

Special days BALL SEASON IS HERE! in Kamifurano GLOVES

By Brenda Knull, BRSD teacher Over the last year and a half I’ve written about some of the special days and holidays that are celebrated in Kamifurano. I’d like to tell you about a few more of them.

A notable day that takes place in May is called Children’s Day. It’s a national holiday, which occurs each year on May 5. It is a day dedicated to respecting children’s personalities and to celebrating their happiness. This day of celebration has existed in Japan since ancient times. May 5 was traditionally a festival day for boys. I’ve often heard this day referred to as Boys’ Festival. On Children’s Day you can see carp-shaped streamers outside many houses. People will display this type of streamer if they have a boy in their family. I’ve seen many of these streamers in Kamifurano outside homes and schools.

Girls have their own festival held on March 3 each year. It’s called Doll Festival, or Girls’ Day. It is a special day in Japan but it’s not a national holiday. On this day people pray for the healthy growth of girls. They also pray for their happiness.

Around mid-February you can see signs of people getting ready to acknowledge this important day. Families with young daughters place dolls of famous warriors and other heroes on display. I’ve seen dolls on display in the

schools and the recreation centre in Kamifurano. At the supermarket, I saw a large display containing all things pink. You can celebrate this day with special cakes, candies, and drinks.

You might be wondering if there are special days to acknowledge parents, and yes, there are. Both Mother’s and Father’s Day are observed in Japan. Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. It’s a day that sounds similar to what many people experience in Camrose. People often give their mothers flowers such as red carnations and roses.

Father’s day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.

Popular gifts include: gourmet foods, fashion items, sporting goods, and sweets.

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day look very much like they do in Camrose, as far as I can tell.

I find it interesting that people in Kamifurano celebrate days that don’t exist in Camrose. I also find it fascinating that these two communities are separated by a 15 (sometimes 16) hour time difference, a lot of land and the Pacific Ocean yet these different cultures celebrate the same demographics of people at almost the same time. The two places have a lot in common such as getting snow in the winter and being surrounded by agriculture. Camrose is known as “The Rose City” and Kamifurano is famous for its lavender.

Bowl-a-thon raises funds for Centra Cam

By Murray Green

Bowling and Centra Cam have gone together for many years and once again was the partnership was a success.

Fundraising is critical in keeping Centra Cam’s programs operating and to help offset rising costs the organization faces each year.

Centra Cam’s 18th annual Bowl-A-Thon was held on March 6 at Tabb Lanes.

“About 80 bowlers enjoyed a great afternoon of fun and friendly competition,” said event chairman David Tanton, of the association. “Each year, the support for the bowla-thon is very strong.”

About $23,500 was raised to provide renovations, equipment and some furniture.

“The purpose of the bowl-a-thon is to increase the awareness of Centra Cam clients, staff and board members,” said Tanton. “It also helps us raise funds to keep up with the rising costs of offering the various programs.”

Supervision, Lois Maunder, Colin Spiller, A-1 Septic, Darren Krawchuk and Smitty’s Restaurant.

ware Building Centre team raised more than $1,900 to win the annual Challenge Cup. Camrose Insurance Services raised more than $1,000. EMCO Corp. and the Windwood Group also helped raise funds.

Scotiabank raised $2,300 to win the annual Bank Challenge Cup. Teams from CIBC, Vision Credit Union, BMO and RBC also challenged the winners.

“Centra cam clients, staff

and board members thank the community for sponsoring the bowlers. We also want to send a big thank you to all who were so supportive of this important event,” said David.

Welcome to the 2015 Golfing Season

! n e p O w

No

Cole Feth and Braxton Fox kicked off the 2015 golf season by being the first golfers on April 15 at 10 a.m.

C

amrose golfers hit their first shots of the 2015 season on Wednesday, April 15 nearly two weeks sooner than in years past, one of the earliest openings in recent memory.

“The course is in excellent shape considering how early it is being opened,” said Darren McDermott, grounds superintendent, who, for 33 years, has watched the course bloom every spring. There are a few temporary greens but they really aren’t of any concern to the avid golfers who have had to wait some six months to play this track.

They will notice some major changes to the seventh hole. The green has been enlarged and re-shaped, new bunkers have been added to the left side of the fairway approaching the green and the fairway has been given some new contours. The hole looks quite different from the tee box and will make the long hitters think twice about blasting it in trying to hit the green from the tee. Darren’s team was also busy changing the bunker on the right side of

the 18th hole. It was reconfigured to run more alongside the green rather than away from it, bringing it more into play. The bunkers surrounding the 11th green were refurbished as well, with roots cleaned out and new sand added, making them much more playable.

Camrose golfers will once again be greeted in the pro shop by master professional Bill Penny, his wife Marnie and their team of able assistants: Debbie Naslund, Braxton Fox, Brent Lewis, Keith Bratke, Ross Shuman and Pat Bohnet as well as the outside service staff, who are all returning. Great service is a priority of the pro shop staff and having them return this year will ensure the excellent level of service will be maintained.

Upstairs in the Gallery Restaurant it’s a family affair with Finn Olesen, wife Lorrie, daughter Cindy and Auntie Patti preparing for

a busy season. The Gallery will be opening April 27. You don’t have to be a member of the golf course to enjoy the great food and unique atmosphere of the restaurant, which is on the second floor of the clubhouse and boasts a superb birds-eye view of the first fairway.

You are always welcome at the Camrose Golf Course. Take a look at the following pages for more information about what’s being offered here. The Camrose Golf Course is fun for everyone.
