Wetaskiwin-Camrose candidates share their views
Wildrose candidate Bill Rock, left, PC candidate Verlyn Olson, centre, and New Democratic candidate Bruce Hinkley were front and centre at an election forum hosted by the Battle River School Division, Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce and Battle River Local 32 of the ATA at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose April 27. By Dan Jensen
Wetaskiwin Camrose Constituency New Democratic candidate Bruce Hinkley, Progressive Conservative candidate Verlyn Olson and Wildrose candidate Bill Rock shared their views on positions on everything from leadership and taxes to education and the health care system at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre April 27. Leadership Olson described Premier Jim Prentice as a great listener. “We had a five-hour caucus meeting to decide what to do with the people who went across the floor. The premier sat there for five hours and took 40 pages of notes. He summarizes at the end and then he makes a decision. I find it very easy to work with him.” Hinkley said the fact that the PCs have had four different leaders in the past 15 years shows that the leadership at the top level has not been sound. “What the New Democrats are offering this time is a young lady named Rachel Notley. I think she will provide the leadership skills that we have been looking for and lacking over the last 15 years. She will be approachable, she will be intelligent and she will be articulate. We have the policies that she is prepared to be front and centre with.” Rock said Wildrose would restore the role of elected MLAs by mandating that all votes in the legislature are free and transparent and reported to the public. He said that motions of non-confidence would remain an option, but would be held as a separate stand alone vote. “This would allow MLAs to vote on each proposed legislation based on the interest of their constituents and
Albertans, rather than being forced to tow the party line.” Rock said under the Wildrose plan, MLAs would be allowed to step down from the party and sit as an independent, but would not be allowed to cross the floor to another party without a byelection. Care of seniors Hinkley said the conditions for Alberta seniors have been deteriorating since 2002 when Premier Klein broke his promise to restore seniors’ programs and services when the debt was eliminated. “The seniors are proposing that action be taken and say we could balance the budget if we obtained fair value for our energy resources. That alone would generate millions of dollars to help with the long term care situation.” Hinkley said the New Democrats are proposing to provide 2,000 long term care beds over a period of four years. “By providing long term care homes we will be alleviating overcrowding in hospitals where there are long term care people in acute care beds. We could actually be helping the health care system by reducing their workload.” Hinkley said the base standards for care and safety in long term facilities have to be strengthened. Rock said the Wildrose would immediately invest $50 million in long term care in order to open more acute care beds and use a health care funding model in which public, independent and non profit health services providers and facilities are compensated according to the quality and timelines of the care they give. “In addition to this we would gradually decentralize the delivery of the health care services to the local levels so the majority of health care decisions, whether long term
or short term, are handled by local health professionals, community leaders and representatives of the five regional zones.” Olson said one of the first things Prentice did when he became premier was to create a dedicated ministry of seniors. “Interestingly, he named a Camrose boy, Jeff Johnson, as the minister. Jeff’s mandate was to find the money within his budget within a year to create 1,600 spaces. He has gone beyond that target and we are at 2,612 spaces in 2015.” Olson said the government announced funding a month and a half ago for a 76-bed facility in Wetaskiwin and has introduced the requirement that there always be two staff on duty in seniors’ lodges. “A number of initiatives have been taken already in the short term of the premier at his direction and on his mandate and we expect to be continuing to do more of that.” Budget Rock said the Wildrose would save money by reducing the bureaucracy by 3,500 positions. “We have talked to many people: Alberta Health Services has eight levels of management, so there are 1,600 positions immediately that can be removed and given back to front line workers.” Rock said funding for classrooms and teachers could be increased by redirecting the $50 million that is going towards the development of new curriculums. Olson said he is confused by the Wildrose budget plan. “They say they are going to be kind of all things to all people. It just kind of defies common sense that you can say we are going to give you all of this, but at the same time we are going to really cut. I would suggest that there has already been a lot
of cutting done, for example in Alberta Health Services. Over 1,000 positions in the last year or two have been removed.” Olson said the Wildrose talk about providing infrastructure, but are not saying where that will be. “We are kind of waiting to find out which of the projects the Wildrose will not spend the money on.” Olson said the PCs always receive backlash from opposition parties when it proposes cuts because it is the politically expedient thing to do. “It is not easy to make cuts, I know that. I have just had to go through that in my own department. That is why I believe the budget that we have is responsible.” Hinkley said the Wildrose leader will not answer questions in a public debate about the $10,000 he gave to Prentice for his leadership campaign, despite saying just last year that he wanted more transparency in government. “It puts in my mind some questions about trust and truth.” Hinkley also questioned how the Wildrose are going to balance the budget and not collect any more taxes, even from the rich oil companies or the wealthy. “You can cut some bureaucracy and you can create more efficiency,” he said, “but at some point (the Wildrose leader) has to come clean and tell us exactly what those cuts are going to be. Are they going to be cuts to education, health care, hospitals? Lots of those cuts are going to cause a loss of jobs, so why wouldn’t he tell people what his plan is?” Hinkley said the Wildrose plan for the funding to follow the people means that people moving into the big cities will have all the money. “That is going to decimate rural communities, small communities, if the money fol-
lows the people. This will shut down more schools and more hospitals and result in longer transportation distances to get services. The (Wildrose leader’s) plan isn’t acceptable and he wouldn’t even discuss it.” Education Rock said the Wildrose is committed to finding more funding for education. “We have $50 million that we are spending on developing new programs. We have to find savings by spending our money economically and wisely. We need the money to ensure that we have the teachers’ aides in place, we have special needs teachers in place, and we have the janitors in place to keep up our schools. With efficiencies in our tendering processes and also with efficiencies in our procurements, the money can be found to put back to the front line workers.” Olson said everyone can agree that education is really the future of Alberta. “Our children are our future and it is difficult to meet challenges with funding when we are suffering from some of the economic situation that we have right now. But as a cabinet minister sitting around the cabinet table, I know that virtually all of us has had to find savings. I had a cut in my agriculture budget for example. Education was one of the few ministries that actually got an overall increase. Now having said that, we all know that we have growing student populations. Twelve thousand is the number that gets thrown around, but nobody knows exactly what that number will be. Perhaps it will be somewhat less with all of the job losses that we are experiencing right now. But nonetheless, we are undergoing right now the biggest build in Canadian history in terms of building schools.” Continued on page 8

Camrose County is taking steps to stop the theft of fuel from its pumps. Grader operators around the county have access to several tanks for refueling. However, thieves have also been helping themselves by cutting hoses and draining the tanks. Despite surveillance cameras, some of the thieves are getting away with fuel. “We have experienced numerous thefts of fuel and last week we had a break-in at the Round Hill grader shed where (thieves) stole the truck, tools and fuel. We got the truck back, but we lost a couple of chainsaws, some tools and the fuel,” reported County administrator Paul King, to council on April 27. “It has been a common occurrence and it is the third theft we have had in Round Hill. We have had one in Meeting Creek, one in Rosalind and two in New Norway.” The amount of fuel loss for the County is high. “It’s not little bits of fuel that they are taking. It’s 1,000 litres. You don’t just pump out 1,000 litres at a time into your truck in five minutes,” explained King. “ The courts want more proof. “We do have surveillance cameras installed. However, our issue has been getting both the licence plate and an identifiable image of the driver. In one case we have a video of a truck. We know whose truck it is and the police charged someone, but the crown dropped the case because we didn’t have a definitive picture of the licence plate or the person driving the truck,” said King. The County has $1,000 cameras in place to monitor the stations. “We can’t put up $5,000 cameras because they will then be stolen as well. We have to get the right angle to get the licence plate number and an image of the driver,” said King. Councillor Greg Gillespie said the County has a 12-foot chain around the pumps and people are still cutting it to get at the tanks. “We chained the pump in Meeting Creek and they ended up just cutting the hose,” added King. Councillor Trevor Miller suggested adding one or more cameras to get a different angle for the images that are needed. Camrose County is stepping up surveillance to catch culprits in the future. Ratepayers are encouraged to report any suspicious activity.

PCN TREK
Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Camrose Primary Care Network launched its Get Out Get Active challenge at noon April 27 with an outdoor Zumba class led by instructor Jayme Foxwell from the Augustana Fitness Centre. Every Monday a 30 minute run or session will start at 12:15 p.m. for those who want to join a group activity. Runners will be meeting at the recreation centre. Every Tuesday an event will be held at the Camrose Public Library.
“Even in my own constituency here, just a week ago, I spoke to a contractor who out of the blue said to me, ‘ I can’t believe how many opportunities there are to tender on schools.’ We are building lots of schools. We are investing that money in the future, we are doing lots of other things in terms of dual credit programs for students to get them out to work and trained quicker.” Hinkley said there was a $90 million cut to some parts of the education budget. “There is no funding for new students. We are expecting that 12,000 plus new students are coming in and there is not a penny for new staff, so there is going to be overcrowding. Plus, there has been a freeze on staff salaries.” Hinkley said if we say education is a priority there is no way it should be cut. “Right now Mr. Prentice says we are $7 billion short. The Parkland Institute, the Seniors helping Seniors and Governor Dayton in Minnesota have shown that by increasing taxes to two per cent to corporations you could raise $2 billion. By increasing taxes to the wealthy, the very wealthy and not the ma and pa businesses, you could generate $2 billion. Oil royalties, even (former) Premier Stelmach in one of his commissions indicated that if we raised royalties we would produce another $3 billion. That two plus two plus three is $7 billion. We could balance our budget.” Provincial sales tax
FIREMEN’S BREAKFAST
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Fire Department volunteer Sean Masculak was busy making pancakes during the annual spring Firemen’s Breakfast on May 3. The department is holding an open house on May 5 and free fire extinguisher training on May. 8.
Olson said the PC position is that now is not the time for a provincial sales tax. “We think for one thing it would be regressive, a regressive tax. Also, we think it would tend to cause job losses and, in an economy that is really vulnerable right now, raising any kind of tax is

something that we are trying to avoid.” Hinkley said the PCs were able to get around the sales tax issue by imposing a levy on health care. “Mr. Stelmach six years ago said the elimination of health care premiums would put $1,000 back into the pockets of every single family. So we will have no sales tax, but we will have levies and that is going to draw $1,000 of your hard earned income to pay for health care, which is important, but that levy is not even going back into health care, it is going into general revenue.” Hinkley said another levy is a four per cent tax on a single litre gasoline. “We will have no sales tax, but every time you go to the pump four cents a litre will be taxed, and everyone in Alberta drives.” Rock said instead of coming out with a five per cent sales tax the government came out with 59 new levies on everything from driver’s licences and death certificates to home insurance. “What did the PCs do? They said no we are not going to put a five per cent sales tax on, we are going to tax you on everything else that you do. They put in 59 new taxes so that there is not one that Albertans can avoid.”
erty rights, surface rights, landowners’ meetings here in Camrose, or Thorsby or wherever, they are indicating that yes, they get compensation from oil companies to go on their land, but that the bills the PCs passed, Bills 24, 36 and 2, have basically taken away their democratic right to ownership. These oil companies can go on and drill vertically or do fracking and then six years later, if the casement leaks and there is pollution and toxins, the oil companies are not responsible. The government took away the farmers’ rights to take them to court for this. So if we are not going to support farmers, landowners and acreage owners, then we cannot support fracking until the proper regulations are in place.” Rock said the issue boils down to the property rights of farmers versus the property rights of Albertans. “The Wildrose would wish to encourage technologies for enhanced recovery of existing reservoirs of crude oil and natural gas, as well as use new technology for the lowest environmental impact of any enhanced recovery for the global markets. I have been involved with the fracking industry and I know how the industry works. It needs to be more scientifically proven. The information on fracking and the technology and the innovation that is available with fracking is not being used to its highest potential.” Olson said while the concerns about fracking are legitimate, he takes issue with the suggestion that the government is attacking property rights. “As a lawyer, I acted for a lot of farmers for 30 years, and you know the first thing the premier did was introduce a piece of legislation respecting property rights. It is clear where his priorities lie and he is a former minister of the environment.”
Fracking
Hinkley said the New Democrats believe that a moratorium should be placed on fracking. “I have been to a number of fracking institutes and workshops here at Augustana and my personal belief is there that we should not be and we have no need to be doing fracking.” Hinkley said he receives all kinds of emails and texts from people who are upset with what is going on with regard to the extraction of resources. “When I attend prop-

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson The gift of authenticity
Twenty-two years ago, I met 43 people for the first time – 39 other students and four core faculty members in a twoyear Master’s degree program. Of those, 37 of us graduated in 1995. That group has been meeting once a year ever since – this year for the 20th reunion. Twenty-two years ago, our ages ranged from 28 to 54. Now our ages range from 48 to 73. Three students had babies during our two-year program. Those babies are now adults. Then, we were fully engaged with career, family and attempts at work-life balance. Now we talk about “being” as much as “doing.” Back then, we were attending weddings and baby showers. Now we’re attending retirement parties and funerals. Unique? By now, twenty groups have experienced the two-year program. Ours is the only one that has continued to maintain contact. Why is that? We had a conversation about what made this group different – with the added perspective of having one of our four core faculty members with us for the weekend. Ultimately we concluded that it’s a mystery, but two factors seemed to be important. We valued authenticity, to the extent that we were capable of it. We became a learning community. Here are some things I noticed. Authenticity In contrast to the last high school reunion I attended, I wasn’t worried about looking good! As near as I could tell, that was a pattern. Some of us were in a good space, mostly having a wonderful life – newfound freedom, financial security, happy longterm relationships, experiencing lifelong dreams of travel and adventure. Some of us were in the middle of difficult times – career or business failures, depression, financial limitations, turbulent or ending relationships, health challenges, heavy caregiver responsibilities. What seemed remarkable is that, as a group, we did not try to pretend anything was better or worse than it was – whether that was our own circumstances, or our opinions about decisions that the group needed to make. Listening At the time we graduated, we were not always good at listening. Over the years, we have learned to listen to one another. We listen in silence, listen without judgment, listen without giving advice or trying to fix anyone. We have learned just to listen with our whole minds and hearts. That creates such a climate of safety that we are able to speak what is our truth. Sometimes we discover our truth because of such deep listening. Some people commented that this is the only group in which they feel that degree of safety. Deep listening made authenticity possible. A learning community What brought us together in the first place was a desire to learn. For most of us, it was the desire to learn things that would further our professional development. During our two year program, we learned that “learning” encompasses personal as well as professional; inner as well as outer; and physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions. It was almost impossible to limit ourselves to intellectual or career-related learning. We had to demonstrate that our learning was integral to all aspects of our lives. That desire for multi-dimensional learning also helped make authenticity possible. We are used to asking, “What have I learned about myself?” “What patterns are we noticing?” “What does this mean?” “How can we apply this in other circumstances?” Design As befits a group in a Whole System Design program, both the setting and the processes we used during our reunion were designed intentionally to create an environment in which each of us would gain what was most important to us while we were together. It worked! And of course it helps that we have known each other for twenty-two years. Possibly, we are all twenty-two years wiser! So - What are circumstances that help you feel safe enough to be authentic? What enables you to listen deeply, and create safety for others to be authentic? I’ve learned those are useful questions.

Alberta Education’s Speak Out Conference scheduled to be held in Edmonton April 17 to 19 was cancelled “due to unforeseen circumstances.” Further comments from Alberta Education communications staff tie cancellation to the provincial election, yet this same conference occurred during the 2012 provincial election period. The Speak Out Conference helps students to develop voice, leadership, volunteerism, initiative, critical thinking and citizenship. All of these are building blocks for thriving communities. The student organizers, the 200 to 300 student registrants, and the families and school divisions supporting them deserve a more reasonable outcome. I encourage Alberta Education and student leaders to find a way forward for this spring’s conference. This is a poignant leadership opportunity. Maureen Parker, Camrose
Important work
I am very grateful for the important work the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Edmonton does. I recently found an injured porcupine on my parent’s acreage south west of Tofield. Many people may wonder why I would help an injured porcupine, or even care about one. Porcupines are extremely gentle and shy animals who like to quietly go about their business. It is a myth that porcupines throw their quills. In order for a porcupine’s quills to come out, they must come into contact with something. The quills stick to the object/animal that touched them, and are pulled out. So, when people claim a porcupine “attacked my dog,” it simply isn’t true. What actually happened is their dog attacked the porcupine and the quills came out when the dog bit, therefore serving their purpose of protecting the porcupine and saving it’s life. Porcupines are fascinating, absolutely adorable animals. But even if they weren’t gentle or adorable, I still would have cared about and helped the injured one I found. No animal deserves to suffer, whether it is a domestic pet, a livestock animal, or a wild animal. Every animal deserves help and treatment when ill or injured, regardless of species. So, I attempted to very gently herd the porcupine into a storage bin (with air holes in it of course) with a shovel. When that plan failed (he wouldn’t go in), I moved to Plan B. Wearing thick gloves, I picked him up behind his armpits and simply lifted him into the bin and placed him on top of the comfortable blanket for the long car ride. I
then drove him to WRSE for an exam and treatment/rehabilitation. Each year, WRSE takes in over 1,500 injured and orphaned wild animals for treatment. Some of these animals include deer, owls, ducks, hares, squirrels, woodpeckers, beavers, ravens, and many more. The majority of injuries obtained by wildlife are caused by humans or things built by humans. Unintentional injuries are caused by collisions with vehicles, electrocutions on power lines, attacks by off leash dogs and free roaming cats (in Canada alone, domestic cats kill approximately 140 million birds and mammals every year), barbed wire, and flying into windows. And, unfortunately, some causes of injuries are intentional, inhumane, and extremely cruel. These include leg hold traps, snares, poisoning (including when animals such as eagles feed on carcasses of animals who were shot with lead ammunition), drowning, and blunt force trauma. I am so happy that WRSE exists and helps wildlife in distress. My hope is that this letter will bring awareness of WRSE and wildlife rehabilitation to anyone who doesn’t know it exists. In a world where our wild animals constantly battle loss of habitat, lack of legislation to protect them, and injuries caused by us, it is our responsibility and obligation to help them out when we find them in trouble.

Martin Walters conductor) and Rock Band (the Royal Canadian Artillery soul orchestra, Sgt. Paul Richey conductor). These bands are comprised of professional level, high caliber musicians from one of only two military band organizations in Canada. This concert will inspire additional pride in our military and, given some of the recent tragic events involving individuals in the Canadian military, we Canadians are feeling particularly patriotic and loyal to them. This would be a good opportunity to convey that feeling to these men and women. The evening will begin with short performances by the Charlie Killam School Jazz Ensemble (Bob Bailey conductor) and the Camrose Composite High School Jazz Ensemble (Tom Spila con-

ductor). The rest of the evening will be devoted to the RCA band’s jazz big band and rock band. The concert is free to the public. However, if you like what you hear, a free-will offering towards expenses is welcome after the show. You will be enjoying the concert in a great new venue in Camrose, so if you haven’t attended a show there yet, this will be a wonderful way to experience it for your first time! The Lougheed Performing Arts Centre,
located on the University of Alberta’s’ Augustana Campus in Camrose, was built through the collaborative efforts of the City of Camrose and Camrose County, and the University of Alberta. It is a cutting edge facility that has garnered several awards. The theatre is home to the largest integrated photovoltaic array (solar panels), which blanket the entire 70-foot flytower, including the north face, and is the first theatre in North America to use entirely LED light-
ing, including the stage lights, on the interior and exterior of the building. The Cargill Theatre seats 580 on two sloped floors, yet retains an intimacy which provides the audience with a closer connection to the performers. The sound, lighting and projection systems are state of the art, providing a memorable live performance experience. Don’t miss a wonderful evening of big band jazz and light rock music. Come out and support the Royal Canadian Artil-
lery Band ensembles and Camrose public school jazz ensembles. As this will be a very popular event, the Lougheed Centre staff is preparing for a full house. Plan to arrive early to assure yourself of a seat! This event is sponsored by the Charlie Killam School Music Program. Gratefully acknowledged are the following generous cosponsors: the City of Camrose, the Norsemen Inn, Central Agencies Inc., Boston Pizza, Andreassen Borth Lawyers, and the Camrose Canadian.

Smith to make Big Valley debut By Dan Jensen
Dallas Smith, one of the newest acts on the country scene, will be making his Big Valley debut at Big Valley Jamboree’s Thursday night (July 30) RE/MAX Kick-off Party. Smith was the lead singer for the group Default before his debut solo album in 2012. He is now using his gritty, powerhouse voice for something a little more honky tonk, but every bit as right for a party.
On behalf of the Camrose Spring Classic Pro Rodeo/Camrose Regional Exhibition, we would like to thank our rodeo partners/sponsors, personnel, production crew and volunteers for their continued generosity and support that makes this event a huge success year after year.

COACH OF THE YEAR
Thanks to your generous support, our tournament continues to be one of the largest Huntington fund-raisers in Canada!
Roger Galenza of Camrose was named the University of Alberta Augustana Campus coach of the year, as well as the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference curling coach of the year for the 2014-15 season.
May is Huntington Disease Awareness Month By Dan Jensen
The Camrose chapter of the Huntington Society of Canada will be spreading the message of hope during the month of May. “We want people to know that there is progress being made on research and that if they have it, they can receive support,” said Camrose chapter president Rob Campbell. The Huntington Society of Canada Camrose chapter meets once every three weeks throughout the year (less often in the summer). “Our meetings are generally designed to provide networking opportunities so the people who have the disease don’t feel they are all alone with no one to turn to,” said Campbell. The meetings also provide information on the advances that are made in research and what those who are affected or are at risk of being affected can do to look after themselves. “We have had a wide range of speakers, including genetics nurses, Huntington Society workers and research specialists,” said Campbell. The chapter has a number of fund-raisers throughout the year, including a amaryllis flower campaign in November and December and a tournament at Silver Creek Golf Course (this year on June 20), which typically attracts around 160 participants. The tournament has raised over
Huntington Society of Canada Camrose chapter president Rob Campbell with a milestone award that was presented at a national conference in Winnipeg last October.
$250,000 for the Huntington Society of Canada in the eight years it has been held. “The golf tournament has consistently been one of the top Huntington Society fund-raisers over the past eight years,” said Campbell. “The money that is raised goes to the national society
for research and community resources.” A new fund-raiser for this year is a hot dog and hamburger barbecue, which will be held in front of the Wild Rose Co-op store in Camrose from 11 a.m. to noon on May 30. The Camrose chapter
of the Huntington Society received special recognition at the Huntington Society of Canada national conference in Winnipeg last October, where it was the recipient of a milestone award for outstanding fundraising achievements. “It is a pretty special award,” said Campbell, who had his dad accept it on behalf of the chapter. “It is a tribute to all the hard work done by members of the Camrose chapter as well as the many people who support the chapter in various ways. Camrose is full of special people and the support we get from everyone is pretty incredible.” Anyone who is interested in learning about the Huntington Society of Canada Camrose chapter is encouraged to visit the chapter’s Facebook or Twitter page, or call Campbell at 780-608-8140. Huntington Disease Huntington Disease, or HD, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects muscle coordination and leads to both cognitive decline and psychiatric problems. “It is passed genetically,” said Campbell, whose mother died from complications associated with the disease and now has a 50 per cent of being diagnosed with the disease at some time in the future. Huntington Disease symptoms including emotional turmoil (depression, apathy, irritability, anxiety, obsessive behaviour), cogni-
tive loss (inability to focus, plan, recall or make decisions), and physical deterioration (weight loss, involuntary movements, diminished coordination) usually appear between the ages of 30 and 45, but the disease can first appear in children as young as five or in adults in their 70s. About six per cent of cases start before the age of 21 years. “My mother was diagnosed when she was in her late 30s and she passed away at around the age of 50, but she went on with life every day,” said Campbell. “She had two kids, a full family; we didn’t miss out on anything when we were growing up. She was one of the bravest people I have ever met.” While there are no treatments at the moment that will slow down or stop the disease, the hope for a meaningful treatment has never been more real. In recent years, basic research has dramatically increased knowledge of Huntington Disease and various promising treatment strategies are now in the drug discovery pipeline. “The research that is going on is leading edge,” said Campbell. “In 2011, there was a team of Canadian researchers who actually were able to reverse the disease in a mouse. They stopped the disease and were able to completely reverse all the symptoms.” Continued on page 29

The Power of 10: Let’s Talk about Palliative Care
ANNOUNCEMENT Stephanie Jacobsen is pleased to announce the addition of Kayle Warkentin to the staff at Jacobsen Financial as a life insurance and group benefits consultant. Kayle has worked in the construction industry for nearly 20 years, he’s 39 and married with four growing children. Throughout his career he has always held an interest in the insurance business. Part of that interest came when he saw the tragic death of his brother-in-law when he was 21 and he learned first-hand the importance of adequate life insurance. The memory stayed with him and was part of the process in deciding to pursue a new career with Jacobsen Financial. Kayle wrote his provincial exam March 23 and now is ready to serve your best interests. If you’re ready to talk about life insurance, critical illness insurance or explore your options within a group benefits plan, give Kayle a call today.

One of the best ways to spread a message is by turning to your own social circles. This year’s National Hospice Palliative Care Week campaign, which runs May 3 to 9, is titled “The Power of 10: Let’s talk about Hospice Palliative Care” and encompasses the idea of using our social circles to spread the message on the importance of quality hospice palliative care in our country. The principles underlining this year’s campaign are simple – everyone is part of a sphere of influence that includes family, friends and acquaintances. Similarly, all individuals within your sphere of influence are connected to their own social circles. Through these spheres of influence you have the potential to reach a vast network of individuals. “This year, we are urging people to spread the message by sharing our National Hospice Palliative Care Week resources and speaking to 10 people – friends, family, acquaintances – about the importance of quality hospice palliative care in Canada,” said Sharon Baxter, executive director of the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association. “We are then asking you to ask those ten people to speak to ten people and so forth.” The hope is that this critical message will be spread exponentially, like ripples in a pond, by each of your contacts – whether face-to-face, e-mail or social media using the National Hospice Palliative Care Week resources as conversation starters. For this year’s campaign, the CHPCA has released a bilingual poster featuring answers to the most common questions surrounding hospice palliative care including “what does receiving it mean,” “how it applies to families,” and “what is the difference hospice palliative care can make.” The campaign also includes smaller bilingual postcards that can be easily handed out. “We are hoping for an increase in general knowledge and awareness concerning hospice palliative care by having these resources spread throughout communities across Canada,” said Baxter. The resources can be utilized by both professionals working in the healthcare field as well as patients, and caregivers to advocate for systemic change. According to the National Fact Sheet by the CHPCA, hospice palliative care programs allow patients to gain more control over their lives, manage pain and symptoms more effectively, and they provide support to family caregivers. It also states that there growing evidence that access to hospice palliative care combined with treatment, leads to an improvement in symptoms, better quality of life, higher patient satisfaction and overall better outcomes for individuals and their family caregivers. National Hospice Palliative Care Week is coordinated by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association. Funding for National Hospice Palliative Care Week is provided by Purdue and GlaxoSmithKline. For more information, and promotional materials for National Hospice Palliative Care Week, go to www.chpca-acsp.org/week. The Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association – the national voice for hospice palliative care in Canada – is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in care for persons approaching death so that the burdens of suffering, loneliness and grief are lessened. The CHPCA operates in close partnership with other national organizations and continues to work to ensure that all Canadians, regardless of where they may live, have equal access to quality hospice palliative care services for themselves and their family.

Police present first Kodiaks Citizenship Award By Murray Green
The Camrose Police Service presented its first Citizenship Award to Camrose Kodiaks captain Adam deChamplain. “I have been fortunate that over the past 11 years I have been allowed to be a part of the Kodiaks organization,” said Const. Matt Rolfe. “I conduct regular talks with the players and, when the opportunity presents itself, take players on ride-a-longs. I show them a career that is an option while they are at a stage of their life where their current decisions may influence the rest of their life. Over these years, I have taken on a role of educating, mentoring and assisting in the player’s off-ice and personal growth. I take a great amount of pride in being able to reach out to these influential people and form a bond between the young leaders of this community and the police service.” The principles and values which are taught, instilled and expected of these men have always remained consistent and have never waivered from year to year. “This is an impressive feat to say the least. These values and principles are what the organization is built on and every member of the organization, from the ownership group to the volunteers, adheres to and buys into these standards,” added Rolfe. “I have also spoken to players who have played on a number of different teams and they all say that this organization is run at a professional level and that they feel blessed to have been given an opportunity

to play for the Kodiak organization.” “This year while watching a Kodiak game, I came up with an idea of recognizing a player from the team who not only exemplifies good values, but exudes and portrays the values to his peers, teammates and the community as a whole. I felt it was necessary to provide recognition and give something back, to say thank you, on behalf of the police service, for being a great citizen who adheres to and
believes in what a valuable member of society should be.” Rolfe created a proposal for the police chief based on his observations as a result of his interaction with the Kodiak organization and how this organization holds every player to high expectations, and assists the public on a number of levels. “This group was special and the fact that this group is the first to be recognized with this award speaks vol-
umes of who they are as a group and as individuals,” Rolfe continued. “The process to choose an individual to receive this award from this amazing group of men was difficult to say the least and was not taken lightly as the recipient is being identified as a permanent extension of the Camrose Police Service. The criteria for this award is that the identified player must exude the same values which the Camrose Police Service holds all
of its members accountable to on a daily basis; ASPIRE - Accountability, Stewardship, Professionalism, Integrity, Respect, and Excellence. There are no limitations in regard to which player can receive this award; from a rookie to a veteran player everyone is eligible.” He could have placed all the players’ names in a box and drawn one and it would be a justified recipient. “You will see that on top of this award sits a globe,” said Rolfe. “The significance of this chosen design is that we are identifying a player who, through his actions, based on his values, will make the world a better place for those around him by adhering to solid values and beliefs which he portrays and exudes.” “The recipient of this award has impressed me since the day we first met. He is respectful, mature, selfless and intuitive. The manner in which he carries himself on and off of the ice is admirable and always professional.” “This player truly exudes the qualities of what the Kodiak organization strives for in their players and how a citizen within society should carry himself. This player has shown that he adheres to and exudes the same values that the Camrose Police Service holds all of its members accountable to on a daily basis.” Rolfe awarded the inaugural Camrose Police Service Citizenship Award to captain Adam deChamplain.
New matching gift opportunity in support of athletics A new initiative at the University of Alberta has been created to invest in Augustana student athletes. The University will offer a 50 per cent match each year for five years for new $2,000 awards pledged by donors, thereby creating annual $3,000 awards for Viking athletes. The University has fifty $1,000 matches available each year, and the program has the potential to increase award support for athletes by $750,000 over the next five years. On hearing about Augustana’s new program, Camrose Const. Tyler Bellamy (BA Phys Ed ’09) called up 19 fellow alumni of the Vikings hockey program. He wanted to put together an award in the name of a friend. “Our former teammate, Shawn Crickard, had passed away in September, and we wanted to
do something to honour his memory,” said Bellamy. “I called up a bunch of guys from the team and told them about this award idea.” “I told the guys that if they put up $100 a year for five years, then Augustana could offer a student athlete a $3,000 award every year. Individually, the money isn’t a lot, and we can name it after Shawn. I think he would have liked that – money was always tight when we were students.” Vikings athletics has long been a leader in interuniversity sports, especially through the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, with several individual athletes and teams earning national recognition. Student-athletes excel at athletics, maintain high grade point averages in their studies and provide leadership in many aspects of student life. The competition among universi-
ties for student-athletes is fierce: these awards will help attract talented prospects to earn an Augustana degree while wearing the Viking red and black. “The best part about a $3,000 award in the name of our friend is that – in combination with the Jimmie Condon [athletic scholarship] – it means a tuition-free year for a student-athlete,” says Bellamy. Women’s basketball player Talia Dale, second year Psychology student from Warman, Saskatchewan, received the Brett Binder memorial scholarship for $2,000 last year and her relief was immediate. “Every dollar you don’t spend on tuition is a dollar you can spend on other expenses,” she says with a smile, “or it means less time at a part-time job while you’re trying to juggle sports and school.” Talia met the donors to
the Brett Binder athletic award during the Community Awards Banquet and had a chance to thank them personally. “They really made a difference to my education, and to my dedication to the team,” she explains. Blaine Gusdal, Vikings hockey head coach and a former Augustana student/ athlete, has coached many Vikings players since 2008. “I understand the importance and true value of the award opportunities presented to our current and future Vikings,” he says. “The continued growth of our Vikings hockey program is greatly enhanced by support through this new matching gift opportunity and the development of the Shawn Crickard Award. These awards not only benefit the student-athlete through the financial assistance that they offer, but they also build upon the strong histo-
ry, tradition and reputation of Vikings Hockey. Many fine athletes have worn the Vikings uniform in the past and these matching awards will ensure many more fine student athletes will do so in the future.” “This kind of support opens up a world of opportunities in support of our student athletes,” says Augustana’s dean, Dr. Allen Berger. “We look forward to welcoming former athletes who wish to create an award themselves or want to help organize their former teammates to jointly fund an award, perhaps in the name of their team: for example, the Vikings women’s basketball team of ’96 award, or the ’89 crosscountry ski team award. All it takes is a commitment of $2,000 per year for five years, from an individual or a group, and the award will automatically be increased by another $1,000.”

Spring Rodeo produces local winners
AMA to host annual shredding event in June By Dan Jensen
Murray Green, Camrose Booster
Curtis Cassidy of Donalda lines up his horse with a calf during the steer wrestling event at the Camrose Spring Classic Pro Rodeo on April 26. He recorded a fast time of 4.3 seconds at the Camrose Regional Exhibition. By Murray Green
The Camrose Spring Classic Pro Rodeo was another success with plenty of thrills and action at the Camrose Regional Exhibition from April 24 to 26. A local champion emerged in the saddle bronc riding. Layton Green of Meeting Creek scored 85 points to garner first place and take home $1,631. Josh Harden was second with a 83.5 score and Troy Crowser came in third. In bull riding, Ty Pozzobon scored 85.5
points to take the top spot. Dakota Buttar and Zane Lambert tied for second with 85 points and Garrett Green of Meeting Creek was next with 84. Levi Simpson and Jeremy Buhler captured the team roping title with a 4.6 time. The Camrose team roping brothers of Brett and Justin McCarroll tied for second with a 4.7 second run. Kyle Lucas and Grady Branden equalled that fast time. All four cowboys took home $563 for their efforts. Jake Vold of Ponoka
won the bareback competition with 87.5 points. Colin Adams and David Peebles followed with scores of 85 and 84.5. Owen Berreth held on for a 79.5 point ride in the boys’ steer riding event. Jake Tebb placed second. In steer wrestling, Jonny Webb recorded a quick time of 3.3 seconds to set the bar very high for the rest of the cowboys. It was a good thing local police didn’t have a radar gun in the building because he had to be speeding. Craig Weisgerber nailed
second place with a 3.5 run on Sunday and Jesse Lawes was third with a 3.8 second time. Scott Meeks won the tie down roping event with a time of 8.3 seconds to earn $1,913. Logan Hofer in 8.4 seconds and Mark Neitz with a 9.3 run came in second and third. In ladies barrel racing, it was Kristy White, who recorded the fastest time of 13.466 seconds to take home $1,974. She was followed by Madelyn Schaur and Nancy Csabay.
Camrose AMA will be hosting its annual shredding event in partnership with the Camrose Police Service and Camrose Wise Owls from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 13. The event allows people to attend a drivethrough style setup at the rear of the AMA, where they can have up to six banker boxes of personal information shredded right before their eyes. “It is a great free event that helps mitigate against identity theft and provides those who might be doing some spring cleaning an outlet to properly dispose of their sensisitive personal documents,” said Camrose Police Service crime prevention officer Matthew Wilton. Identity theft refers to the preparatory stage of acquiring and collecting someone else’s personal information for criminal purposes. Techniques can range from unsophisticated, such as dumpster diving and mail theft, to more elaborate schemes. In 2009, the CACF received identity fraud reports from 11,095 Canadian victims, totaling a loss of more than $10 million dollars. This represents an increase of more than $1 million dollars of what was reported in 2008. Payment card fraud was the most commonly reported incident, and yet, many instances of identity theft and fraud go unreported.
Don’t become a victim of home renovation fraud Spring is here, a time when many consumers’ thoughts turn to home renovations. Fraud Prevention Month is a good time to remind homeowners to protect themselves against deceitful contractors. Home renovation fraud is one of the most common complaints received by Service Alberta and costs homeowners in the province hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Door-to-door paving contractors are frequent subjects of complaints. In a typical scam, a contractor arrives at a consumer’s home without warning, claims to have left-
over asphalt from another job in the area, and offers a discount for paving jobs. The quality of the asphalt and work provided is usually poor, with driveways falling apart within days. By the time consumers notice problems, the pavers have left the area making it difficult for consumers to address problems directly. Service Alberta’s Consumer Investigations Unit recently investigated complaints into one similar incident. Michael George MacDonald and his company, Highway Maintenance and Asphalt Repair Ltd., were convicted on 44 counts under
the Fair Trading Act in relation to a paving scam that primarily targeted the elderly in various rural communities across Alberta. In November 2014, MacDonald and his company were fined nearly $887,000 and ordered to make restitution of nearly $138,000. Service Alberta urges consumers to take the following steps to protect themselves: If a contractor wants payment up front, first make sure they are on a list of licensed and bonded businesses at servicealberta. ca or call the Consumer Contact Centre toll-free at 1-877427-4088.
Check references and confirm the contractor’s complaint history through the local Better Business Bureau. Get at least three estimates before entering into a contract. Always get estimates and contracts in writing; make sure they include key dates, cancelation rights and a description of materials to be used. Beware of unsolicited door-to-door offers or deals from contractors who “just happen” to be in the area. Homeowners should also consider holding back a portion of the payment, which
allows them time to deal with any deficiencies and ensure suppliers have been paid. Don’t pay a large deposit to renovators for materials. Most reputable contractors maintain charge accounts with their suppliers. Service Alberta works with law enforcement, other levels of government and business groups to help Albertans: recognize fraud in its various forms; learn how and where to report it; and how to stop fraud before a scammer cheats someone out of their hard-earned money.

Celebrate Mother’s Day at Songbook Sunday This past season, the Bailey has hosted Songbook Sunday once a month, inviting musicians of all ages and abilities to play together. The idea originated from experiences of folk music festivals where campfire jams are the norm and sharing songs strengthens the connection between communities of players. The season has been a huge success, with musicians coming from as far as Vegreville to take part. “One of the highlights for me,” said Leslie Lindballe, one of the Songbook Sunday organizers, “is when Sandy, a 93-year-old player, brought his friend Bob, a 90-year-old tap dancer, to tap for him while he played She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain. It was an amazing moment to see how music is something that spans a lifetime. You can come see the video on the Bailey Facebook page.” The next Songbook Sunday is on May 10 and will be the last one for the season. The Mother’s Day celebration will be a little special. It will include the regular songbook hour, where participants are invited to grab a book, sit in the circle and sing and play together, and the open mic/band scramble, where participants take their turn on the Bailey stage, but will also have performances by some of Camrose’s musicians. “At the moment, Roger Admiral, the pianist and professor from Augustana will be coming, along with Cory Vanderjagt and Jordan Leden, two of the staples for the Bailey Buckaroos,” said Lindballe. “This will add to the already exceptional musicians that regularly attend.”

“The best place to cry is on a mother’s arms.” – Jodi Picoult, House Rules
Mother’s Day is almost here!
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give Mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. More than 54 per cent of Canadians treat their mothers to a special meal out on Mother’s Day. Billions of dollars are generated by people eating out with their mothers. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. Book early – very early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance of Mother’s Day. It’s never too early to put your name on the reservation list. Continued on page 26

Dining out with mom Continued from page 22
Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don’t arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day.

City sponsors Francophone Games By Dan Jensen
City council has approved a $5,000 sponsorship of the Alberta Francophone Games that will be coming to Camrose in May. The funds will be allocated from the Community Grants and Support – Community Events account. The Alberta Francophone Games are expected to draw approximately 400 athletes and their entourages and generate approximately $40,000 in spending on everything from catering and the production of t-shirts to medal purchases and hotel bookings. “The host community is at the heart of the Games and we value the involvement of the Camrose community by giving back,” said Federation du sport francophone de l’Alberta (FSFA) directrice generale Monique Witzell in a presentation to council last October. “Our intent is to work with local companies to make this event a success while supporting the local economy.” The Games athletes will attend opening ceremonies on the evening of May 22 and be able to enjoy an evening of cul-
ture before heading to their temporary home at the Camrose Composite High School, where they will prepare for two days of competition in soccer, men’s and women’s volleyball, badminton, ball hockey, three on three basketball, and men’s and women’s cross-country running at various city venues. The FSFA had originally asked that the City of Camrose provide $20,000 in cash and in-kind support in exchange for naming rights (Alberta Francophone Games presented by the City of Camrose), the City logo on posters, the City logo on the back of the official event t-shirt worn by all athletes and volunteers at the Games, and a tent and tables for City promotion at the arrival of the athletes. “Though less than the requested amount, the recommended sponsorship amount of $5,000 has been discussed with the games organizers and they are pleased that the cost of City facility rentals would be offset by the proposed amount,” said a report presented to council by Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen March 16. The level of support
falls in line with support granted to other events that have come to Camrose and the exposure that those events have generated. The Games will require approximately 100 volunteers to assist with everything from running the cafeteria and timing the events to coordinating the transportation. “We feel (the Games) will create a sense of solidarity and pride amongst local volunteers, knowing they are part of a great event that is showcasing Camrose as a community that supports the francophone community,” said Witzell. “The Games will create strong community networks between the francophone community and the Camrose community at large.” Camrose is home to more than 200 francophones (mother tongue). The Cercle Local of Camrose Battle River, which was incorporated in 2013, has worked to strengthen the francophone community of the region, while the French immersion program has been extended to the high school level with students from the first cohort who commenced the program in 2004.
Liz Maki wins big at quilt show
Ardelle Kerr and Liz Maki were thrilled with the success of Butterfly in Blue (hanging in the background) at the Central Alberta Quilt Show in Red Deer. By Dan Jensen
HELPING THE CAMROSE WOMEN’S SHELTER
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Providence Contracting of Camrose employee Zechariah Hauch, left, and owner Kris Chetney wore dresses to work on April 13 and are donating some of the profits from all window, siding and deck installations for the months of May and June to the Camrose Women’s Shelter. The company is already booked for May, however, you can contact them about a project for June.
There was no doubt as to which of the approximately 250 quilts judges liked the best at the Central Alberta Quilt Show at the Westerner in Red Deer over the Easter weekend. Liz Maki’s Butterfly in Blue won Best Large Quilt and Best in Show awards from the Canadian National Quilters’ Guild, the People’s Choice award and, to top it all off, the award for Best Long Arm quilting (done by Rose City quilter and Quilting from the Heart owner Ardelle Kerr). “I was pretty excited,” said Maki. “I was not expecting to win that many ribbons. I was hoping to win some but I never thought it would be that many.” Kerr said it is quite unusual for a quilt to win the People’s Choice award in addition to the awards for Best Large Quilt and Best in Show. “The people’s choice is very often different from the judges’ selections,” said Kerr. “That the People’s Choice award went to the quilt that the judges decided was the best was quite interesting.” After piecing all the little pieces on the quilt top together, Maki handed the quilt over to Kerr, who stitched it together with the backing and batting in a process called long arm quilting. “It took me approximately a year to finish working off and on,” said Maki. “It was difficult because of the many little pieces and the fact that I was using fabrics like silks that I hadn’t used before.” The quilt is currently hanging in a prominent location at Quilters from the Heart. “We have had many positive comments about it from our customers,” said Kerr. “I think the two things they like the most are the pattern and the contrast. The blue pieces on a black background really stand out.” Maki has made numerous quilts for family members and charities since she started quilting seven years ago. “I began by doing rag quilts because I didn’t have a very good sewing machine,” she said. “The rag quilts were all the machine could handle.” Maki finds working on quilts a great way to relax and enjoy retirement. “This is what I always wanted to do when I retired,” she said.

City to host another Boston Pizza Cup in 2016 By Dan Jensen
The City of Camrose and the Rose City Curling Club will play host to the second Boston Pizza Cup Alberta Men’s Provincial Curling Championship in four years in 2016. The event will be held at the EnCana Arena Feb. 10 to 14. The Rose City Curling Club was awarded the championship based on the success it has had in hosting the Continental Cup of Curling in 2008, the Alberta Scotties in January, 2011, the Boston Pizza Cup in February, 2012, and the Canada Cup of Curling in December, 2014. “A committee was put in place by the Rose City Curling Club and bid on the 2016 men’s provincials here in Camrose again,” said curling club championship events committee chair Darren McDermott in a presentation to Camrose City council. “Our devoted committee remains committed to hosting another outstanding provincial curling championship that will showcase the city.” The City of Camrose will provide financial sponsorship of $15,000, the same as the two previous provincial championships. City councillor Max Lindstrand congratulated the Rose City Curling Club for landing the event. “It is a real feather in our cap,” said Lindstrand. “It is a wonderful event and a great way of transforming the arena into a curling facility. It brings a lot of people to Camrose.” McDermott noted that events of the magnitude of the Alberta Boston Pizza Cup require support from business and community sponsors and partners to ensure their success. “We will attempt to sell as many tickets as possible,” he said, “however if we were to encounter some issues such as bad weather like we have had during at least one previous curling event, we could face a financial difficulty.” The curling club is planning to apply to Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation to provide grant funding for a Camrose “Winterfest” to be held in conjunction with the Boston Pizza Cup as happened during the recent Canada Cup of Curling. Most of the events will be held in the Mirror Lake area.
GOALS FOR KIDS HAS BEST SEASON YET
Pro Sports Photography With the Camrose Kodiaks having the highest offensive output since the 2007-08 season, this was the best year yet for the team’s Goals for Kids fundraising program. A total of $5,750 was raised through the program, which puts $25 for each goal the Kodiaks score in the regular season into the Goals for Kids fund. The money is then distributed to charitable organizations at the end of the season, thanks to some gracious sponsors. Matt Hunter of the Kodiaks joins sponsors realtors Graham Wideman and Matt Mayer of Central Agencies, Camrose Special Olympics chair Carol Wideman and Jonathan Gurr and Mike Rodin of Camrose Chrysler in presenting funds to Lisa Kozak of the Camrose Open Door Association, Jo-Anne Tweed of the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center food bank, as well as Special Olympics. Missing
sponsors were National Superstorage and Norseman Inn.
Camrose Minor Ball in need of places to play By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Minor Ball Association is running out of places to play. CMBA vice-president Wes Harrison told committee of the whole council last month that the association has seen a growth in the number of registrations over the last few years and is in definite need of new facilities. A lot of the growth has occurred at the grass roots level, with children just entering ball. “Our concern is if we don’t have a place to put them in the future they are going to go away and find other things to do,” said Harrison. “For me as a minor ball board executive, I don’t want to see that.” The association has been forced to double up on the use of facilities not just at Kin Park, but at the school facilities with shale infields. “We have one team practice at 5:30 p.m. and another team come at 7:30 p.m.,” said Harrison. “It has worked so far, but as the association grows we are finding it more difficult to place these teams.” The association has teamed up with the Camrose Lions Club to enlist the services of Mike Evans
and Earthscape Consultants to design a master plan for Lions Sports Park that would include four diamonds on 29.03 acres, possibly in the Enevold quarter in the southwest part of the city, as well as a Lions clubhouse. “We have each pitched in $5,000, but nothing has been set in stone,” said Harrison. Initial cost estimates for the facility are approximately $8.6 million. “It is the cadillac model, but we definitely don’t expect those figures at all,” said minor ball president George Marcinkowski. “Brooks just set up a new facility that was similar to this for just over $3 million. We were flabbergasted by the $8.6 million.” CMBA feels the new facility is vital not only to the growth of minor ball in Camrose, but also to sustaining the growth that has been seen over the last few years. “We feel if we are able to build some of these facilities we will have more opportunity to host bigger and better events,” said Harrison. “When I was a kid here we had the World Series of Fastball, which was a huge event. We haven’t hosted an event like that in a long
time. I do believe that with the senior men’s and minor baseball there are opportunities for that.” The crunch has forced a reduction in the number of slo-pitch teams (from more than 30 to 24) and the number of revenue generating slo-pitch tournaments that would bring in as many as 50 teams for a weekend. “We keep pushing them out more and more so that everything can go to the kids,” said Marcinkowski. “Adding a diamond or two here and there would be of great help.” The diamonds at Duggan Park hosted about four or five tournaments last year, up from none the couple of years before that, but still can do more. “Those diamonds were the last ones to be added in Camrose,” said Marcinkowski. Harrison said the CMBA has three bantam teams this year, up from one in years past, and five mosquito teams, up from three or four. He added the midget team, that was lost for a while, is now back. CMBA often has to compete with minor soccer players who are sometimes using the same space as the ball teams.
“Many times we will run into soccer players who are utilizing the facilities,” said Marcinkowski. Camrose Lions Club sees the Lions Sports Park as a way of re-establishing itself as an organization and getting back to its roots. “The partnership is great for us because we have a lot of younger people,” said Marcinkowski. “I know there has been an interest in helping them out. They have a centennial coming up in 2017, so they really want something to go sooner rather than later.” Camrose slo-pitch committee president Lindsay Seto noted in a written statement that the ball diamond project would be beneficial to all members of the community and its surrounding area. “It will create more opportunities for other leagues and teams to be able to play and participate in sports in our community,” said Seto. Councillor Bill Sears questioned the CMBA representatives whether it would make more sense to have fields spread out throughout the community rather than in one central spot. “Kids would be able to walk there after school and hit the ball around rather
than having to drive to a centralized place,” he said. Harrison said he has never heard any complaints from people who have had to drive across town. “Most of the complaints we get are when we have to send (teams) out of town.” Harrison added that a complex makes more sense from a tournament hosting perspective. “You are more apt to have people spending money at a concession, beer gardens or whatever you have there if they are centralized.” Camrose Minor Sports coordinator Jim Cook told the committee that the west-end diamond across from the Legion is booked up Tuesday and Thursday nights with seniors’ slopitch and hosts a lot of girls’ fastball. “We ran into a bit of a problem when we tried to have baseball there once in a while but the resident/ owner directly to the east of it had a problem with balls ending up in his yard,” he said. “There is not a Monday through a Thursday that it is not being used.” Cook said the sand infields at Charlie Killam and St. Pat’s Schools have been flipped over to shale.

Huntington Disease Continued from page 14
“The Huntington Society of Canada family services program strives to maximize quality of life and to meet urgent needs of those affected by the disease through direct support services, education, local community development and national advocacy efforts. Services are provided through a director of family services who manages the program across Canada, as well as resource centre directors and family service workers. The development of a test to determine whether a person has the Huntington Disease gene has raised several ethical questions regarding the age at which an individual is considered mature enough to choose testing, whether parents have the right to have their children tested, and the management, confidentiality and disclosure of test results. “If you are an at risk person like myself you can get tested to find out whether you are gene positive, but it is a pretty big decision and very personal,” said Campbell. “There are a lot of things to consider job wise and life wise. Some people choose to get tested so they can make their family and career choices now. They prefer to do it that way. Some people are the other way: they prefer never to know and live every day the best they can.”
Camrose Minor Ball makes presentation Continued from page 28
“They are great for practices, but if we wanted to do something more we would have to talk to the school division about putting a fence within a fence.” Harrison said teams that are coming for tournaments are not expecting to camp next to the ball diamonds as they did in the past. “I push them in the direction of the new Exhibition Trail RV Park and that seems to get utilized quite a bit by ball teams when they come into town. I think more and more as you go to these centres that doesn’t seem to be an issue. You don’t see a campground by the ball diamonds anymore.” Harrison said the plan is to get the complex as close to the existing services as possible.
Everyone reads The Booster
On a cold day in January Jon Dillon, and his son Patrick, en route to Palm Desert were cruising the streets of Dillon, Montana, in search of a perfect spot to take a picture for the Everyone Reads The Booster contest. A marked police car in the parking area of the local police station caught their eyes. Posing for this “selfie” photo, their unusual action, not surprisingly, caught the eye of the local Chief of Police. Satisfied the Camrosian and former Camrosian (Patrick, who now lives in Edmonton, was at one time a local volunteer firefighter and first Director of the Camrose Boys & Girls Club) were not threats to the security of Dillon residents, he also called over to the office of the local Fire Chief for an additional photo session! Our thanks to Jon and Patrick for their interest in the home team paper and for a healthy conclusion to this creative entry. Their $10.00 cheque is in the mail!

Federal budget makes life more affordable for families, seniors Kevin Sorenson, Crowfoot MP
Canada’s Economic Action Plan 2015 is for Canadians. We have a balanced budget, we are making life more affordable for families and seniors, and we are encouraging job-creating businesses to expand, all while protecting Canadians here at home. In 2008 we made a commitment to Canadians that we were going to invest in infrastructure to grow the economy in the depths of the recession, but we committed that in 2015 we would come back to a balanced budget. We have lived up to that commitment. Canadian families sit down at the table, establish a budget, and live within their means. They expect governments to do the same, and this government is doing just that. This is a budget that helps all Canadians. It helps small business. We are lowering the small business tax rate to nine percent, the biggest cut in 25 years. We are investing in skill development and job creation, to give young
people the skills for the jobs of tomorrow. It’s a budget that helps families. By putting an additional $6,600 in the pockets of the average family of four, we are telling Canadians that the best people to decide what is best for their family are mom and dad, not government bureaucrats. For seniors, many groups asked for changes around the Registered Retirement Income Funds and we brought forward those changes in this budget as well. We made a commitment to double the Tax-Free Savings Account, and we have again kept that promise. Seniors are an enormous percentage of those who use the TFSA, we want them to continue to have a dignified retirement, and they know all of these measures help. A government’s number one priority is to protect our citizens at home and abroad. The measures that we’ve brought forward are going to enhance that. Canadians rely on us to take the fight against terrorism very seriously and this budget helps the RCMP, our security agen-
cies as well as our Canadian Armed Forces. These measures are going to keep Canada secure and safe. As we move forward, Canada is positioned to compete globally. We have positioned Canadians to better save for their retirement. We have positioned Canadian business to succeed and to create jobs and move forward with the many new markets. We have created record support for families and seniors. And we continue to invest in the women and men who stand on guard for us at home. This is a budget all Canadians can be proud of.

THE RAILWAY KING
Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Railway King, Sir William Mackenzie, and his family told the story of The Last Spike through modern day volunteer readers from the Camrose Heritage Railway Museum and Park at the Calvary Pentecostal Church on April 17 as a tribute to the event’s centennial. MacKenzie was played by Dean Tiegs and Val Sims read the part of his wife Margaret. Glenys Smith, Colleen Nelson, Donny Loewen, Bill Thompson and Kathie MacInnis were also part of the cast.
Tourism ambassador promotes Guatemala and Camrose By Murray Green
Guatemala Honorary Ambassador of Tourism Jorge de Paz recently returned from a trip from Central America with several potential students asking questions about the University of Alberta Augustana Campus. “I’m always promoting Camrose and Guatemala. I would like to help some students from Guatemala to come here and receive an education at Augustana,” said de Paz. “We don’t have any students from Guatemala at Augustana now, but I would like to see some in the future. Some students asked me about the university and I gave them the information. They are planning to come and check out the university and possibly enroll.” He wants Canada to share with the developing countries such as Guatemala, Mexico and the Dominican Republic to share goods that can be recycled or still used. The Dominican Republic Fire Department in Boca Chica named de Paz an honorary firefighter. “I was named Lieutenant-Colonel by the fire department. It is an honour and it allows me to start relations between the departments between Canada, the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. I already talked to Camrose
Jorge de Paz was named an honorary firefighter by the Dominican Republic Fire Department in Boca Chica.
fire chief Peter Krich about how we can share ideas,” said de Paz. “We tend to throw things away here, but some of the old equipment can be used in other countries. I would rather see us share this equipment with other countries, rather than it just be discarded. This equipment is better than
what they have and it is an improvement for their department. I talked to UPS and maybe we can have it delivered for free.” de Paz explained how Guatemala has two kinds of fire departments. “In the municipalities they have some equipment, but there are volunteer
departments that don’t have access to the same equipment. There are some that have almost nothing.” He drove from Camrose to Sonora, Mexico in his 1992 3-cylinder Subaru, a total of 3,200 kilometres. “I drove to Mexico and back in this little car. Some people said I wouldn’t make it, but I said “I’m going to try”, and I did it,” said de Paz. “I am working on relations with Mexico as well.” The honorary ambassador would like to see the sharing of discarded items in other areas as well. “Our children here have so many toys. We could collect some that are not being used and send them to children who don’t have any,” said de Paz. “I would like to see more things that are not used and send them to places that can use them. I would like things to be recycled and used by others.” Students in Guatemala’s small villages are unfamiliar with classroom equipment. “We don’t use typewriters anymore in Canada. These students would like to use typewriters because they don’t have any in some schools,” explained de Paz. “The students were happy when I was able to give them five typewriters.” He said some families
are extremely rich, but most people are very poor. “A lot of Central American countries don’t have middle class people. The rich people have a swimming pool, but most people don’t even own a house.” His idea is to help the poor people. “My family supports me in what I am doing. I am currently writing my third book and I am talking about my exile and what families have to endure when fleeing to another country,” said de Paz, who fled his home country of Guatemala after being tortured by the dictatorship. “I locked the door to my house and left. It is still there, but it is in ruins.” He feels Camrose residents can help by donating clothes, shoes, toys, which he will ensure is delivered. Monetary donations to international organizations use the money mostly for administration costs and very little actually goes to those who need it. In Guatemala in some stores you can purchase groceries through the Internet in a family’s name, and then they can go and pick up the articles. In this way the money is used for food for the family. For more information, or to donate contact de Paz at depaz@telus.net or call 780608-4538.

2015 Ram 1500 Motor Trend Truck of the Year Tony Smith
By Dan Jensen
The 2015 Dodge Ram at Camrose Chrysler delivers best in class fuel economy with a truckload of pioneering fuel-saving systems and first in segment technologies. “It is the winner of Motor Trend’s 2015 Truck of the Year award,” said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Lincoln Manzevich. Design
Ram 1500’s classic aggressive forward leaning grille, headlamps, hood and world class interior add up to premium quality, exceptional efficiency and a bold style that will satisfy even the most discerning truck driver. Models range from the well-equipped Ram ST to the ultra-luxurious Ram Laramie Limited. Cab configurations include regular, crew and quad cab. The available classexclusive RamBox® continues to set the trend for inventive, out-of-thecargo-box thinking. This multi-faceted storage system includes two large, drainable, illuminated and lockable storage compartments on each side of the cargo bed which are spacious enough to hold a full golf bag or a number of power tools. The system also includes a cargo bed
extender/divider which lets you customize the cargo bed area and extend usable bed length. Fully capable seating
When you step inside the 2015 Ram 1500, the impressive levels of quality and comfort are immediately apparent. Choose the standard 40/20/40 front bench seat or opt for the available front bucket seats with a full-floor console. Premium materials and finishes are used throughout to offer enhanced comfort and visual appeal. Also, the refined two-tone interiors in model-specific applications ensure you will find a configuration to suit your individual style. The rear under-seat storage and available foldflat load floor in the Ram 1500 Crew Cab and Quad Cab models keeps everything organized whether it’s the tools of the trade, sports equipment or things just better left out of sight. In addition, the space behind the front seat of Ram 1500 regular cab is so large you can stash three industrial-sized 18.9 litre containers back there. Automatic dual-zone temperature control lets everyone enjoy their own personal area of comfort with precision technology and set-it-and-forget-it con-
venience. Dual sun load sensors balance the system in response to variations in sun exposure. Dual glove boxes feature large upper and lower bins for enhanced interior storage and convenience. The centre console armrest bins have three available integrated cup holders and provide easy access to the available media port for connectivity. The segment-exclusive rotary dial electronic shifter (available with the 5.7L HEMI® VVT V8 and standard with the 3.6L Pentastar VVT V6 and 3L EcoDiesel V6) is very intuitive and ergonomically pleasing to operate. Fuel efficient capability
The Ram 1500 gives you everything you want in a truck with three advanced engine designs and outstanding capability, all while holding the title as Canada’s most fuelefficient pickup. The class-exclusive three litre EcoDiesel V6 pumps out 240 horsepower, unsurpassed 420 lb-ft of low-end V6 torque, delivers best-in-class new five-cycle highway fuel economy, and is biodiesel capable. Key features include a cylinder block and bedplate constructed of compact graphite iron for long-lasting
durability, state-of-theart clean-diesel technology with Selective Catalyst Reduction System and diesel exhaust fluid. If exceptional low-end torque, clean and powerful isn’t enough, you can also drive up to 16,000 km between recommended oil changes for easy maintenance and a low cost of ownership. The 3.6L Pentastar VVT V6 applies some of the most advanced automotive engine technologies available. Mated to the TorqueFlite® 8-speed automatic transmission, it delivers an exceptional balance of power, long-term durability, and new five-cycle highway fuel economy rating of up to 9.4 litres per 100 km. The 5.7L HEMI VVT V8 with FuelSaver multidisplacement system (MDS) technology delivers exceptional performance across the board. FuelSaver MDS technology transforms the mighty V8 into a fuel-sipping four-cylinder, while Variable Valve Timing (VVT) controls the valves in the most efficient manner. This allows for optimal engine breathing throughout the entire rpm range to deliver valuable increased torque for towing and hauling. The Short Runner Valve (SRV) active intake manifold controls
air intake flow by changing port length based on engine rpm for enhanced horsepower and torque. Selecting 4x4 can be as easy as pushing a button. The 4-HI setting locks both drive shafts for extra grip and pulling power to give you confident handling on slippery, wet and loose terrain. For the meanest terrain out there, the 4-LO position delivers a 2.64:1 gear reduction ratio for stump ripping, mountain climbing grip and power. With the Ram 1500’s available on-demand 4x4 system all you need to do is just set it and forget it. With a towing capacity up to 4,831 kg and payload up to 875 kg, go ahead and put all your best behind you. The 2015 Ram 1500’s towing abilities are compliant with the Society of Automotive Engineers J2807 towing standard. It outlines performance requirements for Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and Trailer Weight Rating (TWR) to reflect real-world conditions that truck owners will likely experience. You can drive a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 at Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 east, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2476 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

St. Mary’s Hospital honours volunteers with tea party By Murray Green
Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose held a tea to salute its many volunteers on April 29. A volunteer action is like a stone thrown in a lake: its effect has a direct impact. At the same time, like ripples, volunteer efforts reach out far and wide to improve communities. Undeniably, volunteers rock. National Volunteer Week is a time to recognize, celebrate and thank Canada’s volunteers. “Thank you for being part of the Ripple Effect,” said Anna Radchenko, volunteer and foundation coordinator, in her address to volunteers. “Today, we would like to celebrate our successes at Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital.” Radchenko shared the numbers with the guests. “In 2014, 4,545 hours were recorded. In 2013, there were 3,739 hours,” she said. “That’s over 800 additional hours from 2013 to 2014. “We have had growth in our program through creating new positions within different areas of St. Mary’s, although the number of volunteers has remained fairly consistent. In the 2013-14 fiscal period there were 157 registered volunteers and in this 2014-15 reporting period there are 156 individuals.” Radchenko paid tribute to the Mission Alive Team for continuing to engage staff to live out the mission, vision and values of Covenant Health and to volunteers who helped to set up and serve. St. Mary’s site administrator Cherylyn Antymniuk
also reflected on the volunteers. “This year’s volunteer theme is the ripple effect. When I think of the talent and the time commitment you volunteers offer to St. Mary’s Hospital, it truly shows your dedication and commitment to the hospital and to our community,” she said. “It is fabulous to see so many new volunteer positions being created and the enthusiasm each one of you volunteers brings to our workplace. “I am so grateful for your commitment to our cause and many of St. Mary’s Hospital’s successes is because of each one of you. Our volunteer program base has grown over the past years.” She listed the areas in which people are involved. “To all our volunteers, I would like to express a heartfelt thank you. You give so much of yourselves; the compassion you show to the people we serve is an inspiration for us all. I’ve noticed how each of you treats everyone you greet with respect and kindness, no matter what their situation is,” said Antymniuk. “We all know how stressful it can be for the patients who find themselves in need of health care; your actions by volunteering go a long way toward helping our patients, staff and physicians deliver quality care everyday at St. Mary’s Hospital. I want you to know that your work, time, efforts and compassion are appreciated. You give so much and ask nothing in return, so this afternoon it’s all about you. A huge thank you to all of our volunteers for caring so much.”

Council approves additional expenditure on new City Hall By Dan Jensen
Camrose City council approved the expenditure of an additional $103,800 on the new City Hall April 20. “There were items that were either the object of poor design or were not included in the contract at all,” said a report from acting City manager Kim Isaak. Work in the amount of $88,900 that will need to be completed by the City or sourced out when occupancy has green granted includes milling in the IT room ($8,000), the installation of miscellaneous electrical plugs on all floors ($5,000), re-keying of the entire building ($5,000), the installation of automatic door closures at six locations ($6,000), miscellaneous landscaping and concrete clean up ($5,000), the installation of City Hall signage on the outside of the building ($10,000), miscellaneous fixes to lighting ($3,000), and the wiring of the clock tower ($1,500). The City will also need to purchase blinds on the interior windows of south facing offices to reduce glare and heat at a cost of $12,000, expand the panic button capability to the second floor reception and to council chambers at a cost of $5,000 and purchase inventory of spare carpet, floor louvres and occupancy sensors for future repair at a cost of $3,000. The remaining contingency for the City Hall of $46,000 does not take into account change orders that are estimated to come in at $40,000. The additional expenditures could be somewhat offset by a savings of approximately $100,000 on the paving of the parking lot (budgeted at $340,000) across the street from City Hall. “We do not know what the savings will be and therefore request that council approve the additional expenditures by allocating funding first from the City Hall budget and secondly, if there is not sufficient funding, from the general operating reserve fund,” said Isaak. Councillor Max Lindstrand voiced his displeasure with the latest numbers. “When this budget was structured we were advised a four to six per cent contingency was normal for a new construction project like this,” he said, “so when we set a contingency budget of 10 per cent the anticipation was that would be more than adequate. It disappoints me
that $1.35 million was not a significant enough contingency to see us through.” Councillor Wayne Throndson said he was disappointed but not surprised. “I guess what disappointed me is that up until this time our project manager, who has received considerable income off this project, had given us on many occasions assurances that the budget would be adequate and that we would not be going over,” he said. “I think the project manager should have given us a heads up a little earlier.” Councillor Kevin Hycha said items like blinds for the south facing windows should have been factored in right from the start. “With a building that size and that many windows facing south you had to know (they would be needed).” Councillor Lindstrand said the additional architectural fees and fees for the project manager far exceeded his expectations. Pedestrian signals Council approved the installation of flashing pedestrian signals at the intersection of 48 Avenue and 56 Street with funding to come first from the engineering budget and second from general capital. “We are now looking at banning pedestrian crossings at 55 Street, but that is still to be determined,” said infrastructure and planning acting general manager Jeremy Enarson. “We really want to funnel pedestrians to the 56 Street location or the existing location on 53 Street.” The flashing pedestrian signals will be different from the crossing signals installed at other locations throughout the city. “This will be a different style altogether, where the there will be flashing amber lights so when the pedestrian goes across the vehicles can continue,” said Enarson. “They have to obviously stop for the pedestrian but then they can continue on through and after a pre determined amount of time the signals will turn off.” Enarson said at approximately $80,000 to $120,000 per installation, each installation will reduce the City’s ability to undertake other capital projects, many of which have a public health or safety component. Fire hall lease Council approved the conditions of a triple net lease agreement with Clubhouse Virtual Golf for the former fire hall.

Tyler Nathaniel Kovats April 10, 1990 – April 24, 2015 Tyler Nathaniel Kovats was born in Wetaskiwin, AB on April 10, 1990, the first son to proud parents Julian and Michele. Tyler was full of life and energy from the moment he came into this world. On December 21, 1992, Tyler became a big brother to Jordan. He was a loving and caring brother, always happy to have his little brother tagging along. Very unusual for brothers, but these two never fought. They were each other’s best friend. In 1997, a new stepbrother (Matthew Van Alstyne) and stepdad (Marlow Van Alstyne) came into his life. Together, we shared so many wonderful family memories that we will forever hold close to our hearts. Looking for an outlet for Tyler’s endless energy, he became involved in sports at a young age – first, hockey and later, soccer. In his early teens, Tyler travelled to Europe with his soccer team for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. When Tyler wasn’t at the hockey rink or on a soccer field, you might find him playing Halo or Starcraft with his buddies, pulling out the Risk board for a family Sunday afternoon as became our tradition, or trying to learn a new trick on his skateboard. After high school, Tyler moved to Swan Hills and began working on a Service Rig with Nabors Drilling. He loved to work hard and get his hands dirty. A couple of years after moving to Swan Hills, he met his love, Jami Van Grootel. Their love weathered the storms and was undying. Even when distance separated them, their love endured. Tyler moved to Calgary in December 2014 and was excited about a fresh new start in his life. He started doing some construction work and loved learning some new skills. He made wonderful new friends and met his bro, Joshua, from whom he was inseparable. Tyler fell in love with Calgary and the surrounding area, and was always excited to tell us about his outings and new discoveries. We find great peace in remembering these last few months, and having the opportunity to share in Tyler’s excitement for life and the future. Tyler was an outgoing young man who loved meeting new people, and always surrounded himself with friends. He loved the outdoors, hiking and fishing, and just being with friends. Tyler left us peacefully on April 24, 2015, close to friends he called his brotherhood. Left to cherish and honor the memory of Tyler’s life are: • Michele and Jeff Trumpour, mother and stepfather • Julian Kovats, father • Marlow Van Alstyne, stepfather • Matthew Van Altyne, stepbrother • Jami Van Grootel, girlfriend • Janet Buchner and Greta Kovats, grandmothers • Aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends The family would like to sincerely thank so many friends and family who have been a support to us during this very difficult time. Your thoughts and prayers have given us strength and mean the world to us. A Funeral Service was held on Thursday, April 30, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. from Solid Rock Lutheran Church with Pastor Collin Hauch officiating. If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to The Calgary Dream Center (4510-Macleod Tr. SW Calgary, AB T2G 0A4).

Training begins in summer for next biathlon season By Murray Green
The Augustana Vikings biathlon team is starting to prepare for next season. Biathlon coach Lowell Niven is getting an early start. “Although biathlon is typically a winter sport,” said Niven, “the spring and summer months present great opportunities to train and teach.” Athletes use roller skiing, cross-country running and mountain biking as spring and summer alternatives to cross-country skiing on snow. With more than 11 kilometres of paved roller ski trails and another 25 kilometres of running trails throughout the city, as well as a well-equipped gun range, Camrose is an ideal location for summer biathlon. All trails are accessible directly from Augustana Campus,
Augustana Vikings coach Lowell Niven has a busy summer.
helping the University of Alberta Augustana assist biathletes wishing to pursue post-secondary edu-
cation while training in the sport. Niven is looking forward to coaching two
upcoming biathlon initiatives in Camrose, one for first-timers and another for young athletes who have already been active in the sport. The Vikings’ Kids’ Spring Beginner Biathlon program is aimed at individuals who have no or little previous shooting experience. Beginning May 6, participants aged 12 to 17 will learn rifle safety and the skills required to shoot a .22 bore rifle at 50m targets in the prone and standing positions. Later this summer, Niven will host an Alberta biathlon tradition that he was involved in as a young biathlete himself. “The summer biathlon camp has always been a great place for young biathletes to train and socialize with each other,” said Niven. For more than 30 years, Augustana has hosted a Camrose Camp, a week-long residence camp
that brings biathletes from across the country to Camrose for high-performance summer training from July 13 to 17. When provincial camp organizers moved the annual summer camp to Canmore this summer, Niven saw an opportunity to continue to run it as a recruiting opportunity for his University team. “While the mountains garner a lot of attention as the focal point for Nordic sports, Camrose has exceptional facilities and we are proud that our Augustana hospitality is always second to none,” said Niven. Masters biathletes from all over the province will also gather in Camrose from June 19 to 21 to enjoy the Camrose trails and practice their marksmanship skills at the Camrose Biathlon Range.

the University of Alberta Faculty of Dentistry with distinction in 1978, upon which time he entered general practice in Camrose. He enjoys many activities, including photography, running 10 km and 21 km races, flying (holding a commercial pilot’s licence and a multi-engine instrument rating), and grain farming. He and his family have completed dental mission work in Ecuador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Brazil and Ukraine. Prayer breakfasts in Camrose are fashioned after
the National Prayer Breakfast in Ottawa, which this year was held on April 21. Participants are invited to come together in a spirit of unity that crosses religious, social and political boundaries, and to pray for and bless their communities. Tickets for the Camrose City and County Prayer Breakfast may be purchased at City Hall, Camrose County, Wisemen’s Way Bookstore and the Camrose Church of God. More information may be obtained by calling 780682-3461.
Provincial volleyball silver medallists Ballet Camrose members who did well on their exams are left to right, front, Liam Dereniuk, Sadie Dereniuk, Sara Booth, Madyson Pinksen, left to right, back, Janaya Iverson, Jocelyn Olsen and Chelsey Chartrand.
By Dan Jensen Years of hard work and practice have paid off for Cassandra Olsen. The Ballet Camrose student passed her Al Gilbert Tap 9 examination in February. “Tap 9 is the highest level in Al Gilbert tap,” said Ballet Camrose instructor Colleen Olsen. “She is the first person from Ballet Camrose to reach this level, and most likely in Camrose as well.” Jocelyn Olson received a mark of 100 per cent on her Al Gilbert Tap 7 exam, while Madyson Pinkston and Sara Booth received marks of 100 per cent on their Primary Tap 2 exam. Chelsea Chartrand was awarded 100 per cent for her Tap 2 exam. Mikayla Bergquist, Evyann Graham, Cassadie Robertson and Victoria Watmough achieved high marks on their Tap 4 exams. Sadie and Liam Dereniuk achieved high marks on their Primary Tap 2 exam, while Janaya Iverson achieved a great mark for her Tap 2 exam. Perfect score Ballet Camrose achieved a perfect score of 100 per cent at the Coronation Music Festival for a contemporary number called Neglected Space. “This was the first time our studio had ever achieved a perfect score and it was wonderful,” said Olsen. Students who danced in Neglected Space were Cassandra Olsen, Jocelyn Olson, Michaela Gibson, Kaitlyn Levitt, Kristen Pearson and Kylie Peake.
The Battle River Vikings U17 girls’ club volleyball team competed against other U17 teams in the Alberta Volleyball provincial tournament held in Calgary on April 25 and 26.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough
Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations
Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest
Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.
State Your Price
The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible
Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.
Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.
