Ski enthusiast Garry Gibson is among those Camrose residents who feel it would be an error not to save the ski jump and capitalize on its significant historic and tourist potential. Councillor David Ofrim, like all Camrose Councillors, has been diligent in considering all viewpoints on this sensitive topic.

Camrose has a long and interesting history in ski jumping. With many early settlers of Norwegian descent, almost every family back in the early 1900s in Camrose had at least one pair of skis in the household. In fall of 1911 a ski jump was erected on the hill above picturesque Stoney Creek Valley. In 1912 the first Camrose ski jump competition was held. In 1924 the scaffold was replaced after extensive storm damage. In 1927 the scaffold blew down again.

A higher version was built in 1930 in time for the 1932 Western Canadian Championships. Throughout the 1950s Camrose ski-jumpers effectively ruled the sport and were nationally known. In 1988, after a couple of decades of not having a local ski jump, the current facility was built for the Alberta Winter games. It has not been used since and is now in need of major martin landlord Merv Duchscherer repairs. It alsoPurple has proven to be a temptation for trespassers and vandals, so is looking for birds wearing a “backpack geolocator”. safety is of concern.

Over the summer, debate at Council has been lengthy These birds also wear a band on their right leg. and input from the public has been encouraged on whether the right decision is to demolish the ski jump or to spend money on improvements, making it a tourist attraction and continuing Camrose landmark.

Council is slated to make their final decision on August 10th.

STUDENTS DONATE TO FOOD BANK

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Charlie Killam School junior high students Jaedey Hewitt, left, Kaidyn Leach and Declan Kavgadoulis presented Camrose Neighbor Aid Center program director Jo-Anne Tweed with $200 and items for the food bank on June 19. The Grade 6 students collected the food and raised the money by having a week long soccer game from June 8 to 12.

Members of Blue Dot Camrose are asking City council to adopt a declaration that affirms the rights of citizens to breathe clean air, drink clean water and consume safe food and provides assurance that the City will continue to undertake cost to cost effective measures that prevent environmental degradation.

Blue Dot Camrose acknowledges the work City council has already done to protect land and water.

“I have come to deeply appreciate how City council, the previous councils and many people in the City in so many ways are working every day as unsung heroes to enjoy these elements,” explained Blue Dot Camrose spokesman Rajan Rathnavalu in a presentation to Committee of the Whole council July 13.

“We have a healthy environment in this area.

While Camrose enjoys good drinking water many communities do not.”

The declaration states that the City of Camrose, by 2017, should specify objectives, targets and time lines and actions that it will undertake within its jurisdiction to: ensure equitable distribution of environmental benefits and burdens within the municipality (preventing the development of pollution hot spots); ensure infrastructure and development projects protect the environment, including air quality; address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions; responsibly increase density; prioritize walking cycling and public transit as preferred methods of transportation; ensure adequate infrastructure for the provision of safe and adequate drinking water; promote the availability of safe foods;

reduce solid waste and promote recycling and composting; and establish and maintain accessible green space in all residential neighbourhoods.

Blue Dot Camrose is part of a Canadian-wide grassroots initiative, the primary goal of which is to have the rights of a healthy environment embedded in the Canadian Constitution.

“Approximately 190 countries recognize environmental rights and we hope Canada soon will follow,” said Rathnavalu. “Polling shows us that 85 per cent of Canadians support environmental rights already and more than 50 per cent already think that environmental rights are already part of our constitution.”

Once Camrose and a significant number of other communities sign environmental rights declarations, the provincial government will be asked to follow suit.

The federal government will be asked to include environmental rights in the constitution once there is support for it from seven of the 10 provinces with 50 per cent or more of the population.

“A healthy environment is the foundation for life in Canada,” said Rathnavalu, “and how we perceive ourselves as Canadians.”

Camrose Blue Dot was formed in February as follow up to a presentation on the national Blue Dot initiative’s goals and objectives in Edmonton.

“A bus from Camrose of about 50 people went up to the Winspear,” said Rathnavalu. “The inspiration we gathered from the presentation generated a lot of energy and we went home with ideas on how to spark the movement in Camrose.”

One of the key drivers in the movement was Rajan’s

mother, Margaret Rathnavalu, who gave council a brief history of her rural upbringing.

“I grew up on a quarter section where cows drank from the tank, and where we drank well water,” said Margaret. “I never thought at that time that I would one day question whether the water I drank was safe, whether that well would still be functional. I am thankful I had that upbringing and I wish it for our children and our children’s children.”

City councillor Max Lindstrand said while the Blue Dot initiative is incredibly important, he has concerns about the legal status of a municipal declaration.

“There are certain things that as a council we have control over and there are others that we have not so much. Yes we have responsibility to provide good water through the water treatment plant and the granular activated carbon plant, and I think we do an excellent job in that regard. (But) when I see smoke drifting in from wherever I have a little more concern about how we can assure quality of air. I am also troubled a little bit by food, because even though we obviously all believe in the fact that everyone should have access to healthy food, we had a report not long ago that showed 11 per cent of the population of Camrose lives in poverty. To what extent is council responsible for ensuring that all citizens have access to healthy food?”

Rathnavalu noted that the declaration would be a non legally binding document, with the statement that Camrosians having the right to clean air and water and safe food being more aspirational in nature.

Stockmen’s Chophouse

Keeping it simple, keeping it real. Those two basic ideas were all that was needed to develop a new restaurant in Camrose that employs the philosophy of using only fresh food, cooked simply.

Jennifer Routhier and business partner chef Jesse Chambers shared the same vision for what a restaurant should be when they met while both working for the Northern Bear Golf Course. They always enjoyed fresh food.

Stockmen’s Chophouse, which they opened in January, 2014, has become by all accounts a real success story in an industry that’s dominated by corporate chains.

“Ninety per cent of the food we prepare is from the farm to the table and we’re aiming to reach 100 per cent,” says Jennifer. “Our beef is the best quality available and we butcher it ourselves every day. It just can’t get any fresher than that. We make our own sausage, which has no preservatives. And we have agreements with local growers who supply us daily with fresh produce. All of the food we serve is Canadian.”

“It’s an organic process,” says Jennifer in describing the evolution of Stockmen’s. “We’re always changing but we will always stay true to our roots as a chophouse.”

She’s also staying true to being an enthusiastic supporter of all things Camrose.

“I love this community and being involved in EVERYTHING I can to help!”

Camrose County defers on disaster declaration

By Murray Green

Camrose County is seeking more information before declaring it an agricultural disaster area.

The County Agricultural Service Board passed a motion on July 23 to defer the decision to declare a local State of Agricultural Disaster until the extent of the drought adversely affecting local agricultural producers can be fully considered.

“This does not diminish the hardship many of our livestock producers are facing due to the lack of precipitation. Tame hay and pastures continue to show the full effects of the dry spring and hot summer conditions,” said Greg Gillespie, service board chair and councillor of the Round Hill-Kingman division.

“Recent rains have helped turn pastures green, unfortunately 91 per cent are rated as being in poor to fair condition,” said Gillespie.

Reports around the county suggest that livestock producers continue to downsize their herds in alignment with the limited availability of forage.

In addition to the lack of precipitation, many areas are experiencing a dramatic increase in grasshopper populations feeding on crops and forages.

“In response to this state of excessive dry condition, the County respectfully requested that the Government of Alberta provide assistance to agricultural producers,” added Gillespie.

“This may be accomplished in the form of tax deferrals, payment deferrals, freight subsidies, or other programs deemed appropriate.”

Camrose County sent letters to Premier Rachel Notley, Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Bruce Hinkley and Battle RiverWainwright MLA Wes Taylor.

The next Camrose County meeting is on Aug. 11 at 8 a.m. in the council chambers.

Reading University wraps up

By Dan Jensen

University of Alberta Augustana Campus dean Dr. Allen Berger presented certificates of achievement to forty-nine students at the conclusion of the 2015 Reading University program July 30.

Dr. Berger praised the students for a job well done.

“My guess is that you’ve worked really, really hard.

I hope you have discovered that school work can be tons of fun. And that reading especially can be lots of fun.”

Dr. Berger said he loves curling up inside a chair or outside under a tree by himself with a good book.

“When I’m reading, here is what I have discovered: I’m never really all by myself. In books I meet all kinds of interesting people – people from the past or from the future, people from places near and from places far away. Real people and totally imaginary people.

People who think like me and people whose ideas and beliefs and experiences are very different from my own.

And when I’m reading, I’m also never just in one place.

Reading takes me everywhere, literally all over the world, at least in my imagination. Through reading I’m always learning new things.

Reading also gives me lots I want to talk about with my friends. These in turn help me learn even more.”

Dr. Berger emphasized that reading is one of the most important ways all of us learn.

“Having been a part of Reading University, by becoming a better reader and by learning to enjoy reading, all of you are starting an exciting journey – a journey in which you can dream any dream and eventually become anything you want to be – maybe a doctor, maybe a lawyer, an astronomer, an engineer, a writer, a manager of a big company or an inventor.”

Dr. Berger encouraged the students to keep coming back to Augustana.

“I hope you will return for some of the concerts we have on campus or for basketball, soccer, or volleyball games. And please remember to bring your family. But I also hope that in ten or eleven or twelve years you will come back as a student to study for a university degree. One thing I know for sure, you can do it. You have proven to all of us and I hope also to yourself that you are smart! You are talented! You belong some day at a place like Augustana.”

A community leadership initiative of the Battle River Community Foundation, Reading University is a four-week summer reading program intended to increase the literacy skills

Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger presented a certificate of achievement to Veronica King at the Reading University graduation ceremony July 30.

of children in Grades 2 and 3 who are not yet reading at grade level.

“The Foundation identifies the need, determines the best people and organizations to deal with the need and delivers the financial support,” said BRCF board chair Blain Fowler.

The Foundation, along with the program’s two other stakeholders, the Battle River School Division and the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta, believe that in order to meet the challenges of the changing world, students need to be literate.

They also believe that literacy is more than reading, writing and basic sums – that it enables people to learn and comprehend, think critically, solve problems, share information and interact with others.

The cost of operating Reading University is almost $2,000 per student, or $100 per student per day, an amount that is split 50/50 by BRSD and BRCF. “The Battle River Community Foundation raises its share with the help of generous and supportive members of the local community,” said Fowler. “Their contributions cover the cost of meals and field trips, as well as classroom supplies and items such as backpacks and t-shirts for the students, as well as a selection of books they can take home to keep.”

Battle River School Division takes responsibility for designing the educational program, recruiting and paying staff, providing transportation, and inviting appropriate children to participate.

Augustana provides classroom space, nutritious meals and snacks for the students, and lunch time supervisors.

“Augustana has created an atmosphere that cannot be duplicated,” said BRSD assistant superintendent Ray Bosh. “The enthusiasm, flexibility and friendship shown by the cafeteria staff all the way to management is outstanding.”

The instruction component of the program is organized and coordinated by Jerrit Brandt.

Bosh commended the BRSD teachers, support staff and bus drivers who are involved in the Reading University program.

“Your dedication to our students is amazing and we greatly appreciate your return year after year,” he said.

BRSD considers it a responsibility to provide the programs and services that all students require in order to meet their full potential.

“One of our division goals is to have all students reading at their programmed level by the end of Grade 3,” said Bosh. “Reading University has been instrumental in assisting

our students to reach this goal.”

Over the past year the Battle River Community Foundation has received flow through donations for Reading University from David and Helen Samm, Battle River School Division central office staff, Lynn Reesor, Diane Hutchinson Jackson and Doug Jackson, Jim and Beth Balshaw, Larry and Patrice Johnson, Bonnie Hutchinson, and Kroeger Joyce.

Endowment funds that have contributed $26,000 to the Reading University this year are the Dan and Cindy Bentley Family Fund, the Rotary 90th Anniversary Fund, the Dave and Gail Stolee Literacy Fund, the Berdie Fowler Memorial Fund, the Ross Huebner Memorial Literacy Fund, the Jack and Irene Wooley Fund, the Duncan and Doris Powell Fund, and the Dale and Cheryl Powell Fund.

Just this spring, Paula Cramer, of JPC Enterprises, owner of the Norsemen Inn, launched a new fund with the Battle River Community Foundation called “The Joe and Paula Cramer Endowment for Children’s Literacy.” Earnings from this fund will be added to earnings from the funds noted above in support of Reading University and children’s literacy programs in the Battle River area forever.

REFLECTIONS

by Bonnie Hutchinson The Power of Surrender?

Who Knew?

“We could go see the Chihuly exhibit.

You wanted to see that, right?” My friend asked a few days before I visited her.

“Sure,” I said. Pause. “What’s a Chihuly?”

Turns out Chihuly is a who, not a what, and I’m so glad I got to experience his astonishing glass works. I expected to enjoy the exhibit and I did. I didn’t predict it would be life changing. ***

In 2015, I’ve been playing with the concepts of “surrender” and “allow.” For much of my adult life, I focussed on making things happen. Now I’m learning sometimes it’s important to stop working to make things happen and allow.

You might think it would be easy to let go. I find that I’m quite resistant. As recently as the evening before I saw the Chihuly exhibit, I said things like, “The idea of ‘surrender’ feels like defeat, waving a white flag, giving up, abdicating responsibility.”

Busy summer for train

By Dan Jensen

The Mirror Lake Express train has had a busy summer, attending the Rainmaker Rodeo Parade at St. Albert, the Black Gold Rodeo Parade at Leduc, Jaywalkers’ Jamboree in Camrose, the Stettler Parade June 13, Amisk School June 16, the Riley Sports Day June 20, the Ponoka Stampede Parade June 26, the Andrew Parade and Rides July 11, the Westerner Days Parade in Red Deer and the K-Days Parade in Red Deer.

A first place ribbon was received in the Leduc parade, while a third place ribbon was received at the Ponoka Stampede.

The Mirror Lake Express will round out the summer by attending the Hanna Parade Aug. 7, the Morrin Parade Aug. 18, and Founders Days Camrose on Aug. 15.

There is a possibility it will be going to an event at Miquelon Lake Provincial Park in September.

Train and ice cream The Chamber of Commerce will be holding its Toot, Scoop and Savour special from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. The special includes a ride on the Mirror Lake Express, a piece of pie from the Lefse House, and a scoop of Ice Cream from Oleo’s Ice Cream Castle for just $5.

In the event of bad weather, Toot, Scoop and Savour will be rescheduled to Aug. 27.

***

If you’re in Seattle and only have time for one attraction, I recommend the Chihuly Garden and Glass Exhibit beside the Space Needle.

Neither words nor pictures can do justice to what Dale Chihuly and his crew are able to create with glass. The colours, the shapes, the magical designs – from small pieces to huge room-size installations – you’ve never seen anything like it.

I saw beauty and magic I will never forget. My concept of glass was, “Fragile, handle with care.” This glass exuded power. It danced with light.

Each room was more spectacular than the last. And then – the outdoor garden. It almost seemed like the glass pieces were as organic as the plants around them. ***

After what felt like a timeless day of mind-blowing beauty, we stopped to watch a few short videos of Chihuly working with his crew on different projects.

Dale Chihuly said, “I never know how it’s going to end up.”

Chihuly Sea He’d draw a sketch. We saw the original sketch of one of the amazing pieces we’d seen in the galleries.

The sketch had just a few blue brush strokes to give a feel for shape and colour. That turned into a mammoth blue glass tower of amazing swirls and textures with golden glass sea creatures. Stunning.

In one clip he said to his crew as they were welding glass pieces into place, “Wait, there’s a little hole there. Leave that.” He didn’t know ahead of time – he noticed and trusted it was right. ***

My whole concept of “surrender” raised itself up, shook itself out and re-arranged itself in my brain. He “surrendered” to inspiration and the creative process.

This “surrender” was not passive or defeated or abdicating. This surrender was powerful and joyful. Many variables were controlled – the temperature and some steps in the process – but the outcome was absolutely not pre-determined.

I began to remember moments when I’ve had those experiences.

I’ve called them “being in the zone” or “when things just flow” or sometimes even “me at my finest.”

Lots of work might go into those times. Study. Experiment. Practice. Playing with what’s possible, pushing the edges. And then – let it flow. Surrender to the process. Prepare to be in awe at what can emerge when we stop trying to control the outcome.

My new image of “surrender and allow” is Chihuly and his crew, working collaboratively, experts at what they do and still making it up as they go along, a hint of a direction but not a pre-determined outcome, taking the first step and allowing what emerges to guide the next step. ***

In changing times (like now!) when some things are ending but we don’t know what’s coming, when past expertise doesn’t work any more, “surrender and allow” may be our best possible strategy.

I’m grateful for this new perception of “surrender.” I might even be willing to allow whatever emerges to arrive in its own time, in its own way, and trust the process of creation.

LOGO FOR STREET PERFORMERS EVENT

If history does repeat itself we could be seeing the NDP for at least sixteen years at the minimum. I do know that many in the Conservative camp believe that the NDP will be booted out in the next election. They are dreaming of the Conservatives once again ruling Alberta. I really do feel that the Wildrose has a better chance of beating the NDP than the PC Men’s Club.

However, we will all have to wait and see what will happen on election day four years from now.

The NDP is doing what any decent NDP party does. They borrow! If this is a surprise to you, then I would suggest you get your head out of the sand.

I have read an article which informed the readers that the Moody’s Investors Service has warned Alberta of a possible down grade to our triple-A-credit rating. The Wildrose Party’s shadow finance minister, Derek Fildebrandt, warned the NDP to stop ignoring Alberta’s debt. Now that sort of behavior does sort of look like what the PC Men’s Club was doing before electing its last leader. Finance minister Joe Ceci, recently behind closed doors, authorized borrowing another six billion without the support of the legislature.

Now, Albertans have replaced the PC Party with another party which likes to spend. After running Alberta further into debt, is it possible for history to repeat itself? For many years, Albertans re-voted in a party which seemed to not really care about the average Albertan. They PCs over spent time and time again. It was only Ralph who put Alberta in the black. After he left, the party seemed to spin out of control. Now, after four years of over spending, will the voters kick the NDP party, like the Conservative camp seems to think, or are they going to re-vote them in election after election until nobody wants to lend to us? Time will tell which the voters will chose.

Let us hope the voters will make the right choice.

Blue Dot Camrose seeks council support Continued from page 2

“I think it simply declares something that we all consider to be our responsibility already,” he said. “It is simply affirming something that we already hold to be true, but bringing it out in a declared manner.”

Councillor Agnes

Hoveland encouraged council to support the declaration.

“I don’t see any problems with this,” she said.

“I see this declaration as a huge opportunity to advocate. Whenever we see areas where we have no control, whether it is in food, whether it is some of the

poverty issues, whether it is in the air, we do have a voice and an ability to advocate. We are never without the power to advocate and do everything we can to encourage all citizens and our programs to abide by the essence of this declaration.”

Councillor Bill Sears said the City is already involved in carrying out many of the declaration’s objectives.

Council will be making a final decision on the declaration and the wording that will be used at its regular meeting on Aug. 10.

Evraz provides books for Jack Stuart

Jack Stuart School students are enjoying the new books their school received from Evraz.

Pictured with Jack Stuart School principal Judy Sommer are, left to right, front, Emily Watters, Josh Genest, Keegan Cullum, Cale Pacholek, Akari Okada, Faith Taylor, second row, left to right, Alexis Althouse, Natalie Schapansky, Tristan Fuernkranz, Lauryn Woodford and Jayden Stuckey.

By Dan Jensen

EVRAZ North America made a donation to Jack Stuart School this past winter to fund the purchase of 884 new books.

“EVRAZ is proud to support children’s literacy through our Reading Sparks program,” said EVRAZ community champion Amy Sturges. “I’m so pleased to provide this donation to the Jack Stuart School on behalf of over 200 employees who work and live in the Camrose community.”

EVRAZ also funded the creation of a Reading Sparks book nook, complete with couches, cushions, chairs, bookcases and colorful wall art. The items were delivered to Jack Stuart mid-March, with Sturges and other volunteers from the Camrose steel mill assisting with the setup.

“It is a special spot in the library where students can relax and enjoy reading,” explained school principal Judy Sommer. “There are other parts of the

library with tables where students can work on their research or assignments, but this is just for reading enjoyment.”

EVRAZ North America established a similar reading nook (with books) at Chester Ronning School in 2014 after receiving a letter explaining how the school is built around the library and is committed to encouraging the love of reading at an early age.

EVRAZ initiated the Reading Sparks program in late 2012.

Bredeson enters World Ironman competition

By Murray Green

Former New Norway area resident Lance Bredeson has qualified for the Ironman 70.3 World Championship this summer.

The Austrian alpine town of Zell Am See, Austria will be the first-ever European host for the championship on Aug. 30.

“I went two years ago, so I’m excited to compete against the best ironmen in the world again,” said Bredeson, who is a lawyer for the city of Richmond, B.C. “Zell Am See, is a ski town similar to Whistler and Banff, so I should feel at home in a different country.”

Bredeson qualified for the world championships in the 40 to 44 age group by placing well at the Lake Stevens, Washington event last August and could have also qualified in Victoria this spring.

“I know how good the athletes are at that level. It’s not like local races. They take between two and four of the top athletes from each of the qualifying events,” Bredeson explained. “I’ll go from the top 10 per cent in my age group to about the top third. If I finish in the top third, I’ll be happy with my performance because the competition is so high.

Europeans tend to ride bikes at a younger age and take it more seriously.”

The world ironman championship was created in 2006 and held in Clearwater, Florida until 2011. It then moved to Henderson, Nevada, where athletes were treated to a much more challenging course. In 2013 and 2014, the event took place in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. This year, the event is held on European soil for the first time ever, where Austria will host this epic and memorable event.

“I’m going with my wife and daughter and have a vacation after the event. Austria has a lot of events leading up to the event, which will be exciting for the family. There is a parade and different events. It will be more than an athletic event,” he added.

More than 1,800 athletes from around the world (who qualified at another ironman event will compete at this prestigious race. More than 90,000 athletes participate in a season of qualifying races for the championship, a series which consists of over 50 events in locations such as Australia, Germany, South Africa and Switzerland.

Participants in the world championship will range in age from 18 to 70 plus, and will represent over 50 countries.

“Over the last two years, I have worked with a coach.

I have been improving my cycling and I like to run. I work to maintain my running, which is my strength of the three components. I’m a little slower in the swimming, but I try to make up the time in biking and running,” said Bredeson, on planning his strategy.

“I enjoy training more than going to the events. It is fun, but training is a lifestyle. I enjoy going for a run at lunch time and we like to set an example for our daughter. I want her to know if you want to do something then you need to work hard for it. I don’t care if she ever enters a competition, I want to teach her a strong work ethic by example.”

With the sparkling Lake Zell as its center point and glacier-covered mountains as its backdrop, the Sunday race will showcase Austria’s majestic scenery. The swim takes place in a lake so clean you can drink the water. The new bike course will provide athletes stunning views of the Austrian Alps, and the distracting scenic run course circumnavigates the lake, finishing in the picturesque old town of Zell am See. For athletes and spectators alike, the region offers a host of recreation.

Zell am See is located an hour from Salzburg in the Austrian Alps. Athletes enjoy the crystal-clear water of the Zeller See and breathtaking views of mountain meadows and glacier-covered peaks.

Get back to your roots with a Flagstaff County country tour, Aug. 15

By Murray Green You can explore fabulous Flagstaff County during the Country Roots Tour on Saturday, Aug. 15.

It will be a full day of celebrating good food, farm tours and recalling history.

“This is a great opportunity to tour Flagstaff County, see where your food is grown and even sample it,” said Bernadette Logozar, economic development coordinator for Flagstaff County. “Last year, we had a tour of six museums in the county. It was a hectic day and people loved it.

People then asked for tours of various farms in the area.

We thought that was a good idea, so we planned to do the museum tour again this year. We decided to add a little more to the day and added another tour of agricultural farms. Then we thought that wasn’t enough.

We wanted people to eat the food they saw on tour and learn about growing. We added a long table supper.”

The day begins at the Flagstaff County administration office in Sedgewick at 8:30 a.m. and concludes with a Made in Alberta supper with local entertainment.

“The grounds will transform and there will be a long table set up,” said Logozar.

“When we return at 5:30 p.m. it will a lot different than when we left.”

The meal will include smoked meat from Smokin’ Hillz. The side dishes will be provided by Tyme For You Catering. The desserts will feature an assortment of fruit pies from an area Hutterite colony.

“All of the meal is locally sourced, locally raised and locally made,” said Logozar.

“To round out the meal we will have Ribstone Brewery providing the only alcohol and they are out of Edgerton.”

First, pick either an agriculture or museum tour.

The agricultural tour will be stopping at Ruzicka Sunrise Farms and then the Lougheed Hutterite Colony.

“These are two very different diverse farming operations. We start with Ruzicka, near Killam, which is a third generation farm. They raise all of their poultry and pork on pasture. They have moveable huts, which is a very interesting management system. They have been certified organic since 2000,” said Logozar.

The Lougheed Colony has a completely different

scale and management system.

“This is large scale and they produce for themselves and to sell,” said Logozar.

“They have a metal workshop that people will be able to see as well.”

People are asked to wear modest dress and not take pictures out of respect for the colony.

Lunch will be available at Haus Falkenstein in the Lougheed Hotel.

The museum tour stops at the Lougheed, Sedgewick, Alliance, Forestburg and Strome museums, and includes the Diplomat Mine Interpretive Site.

“We start at Alliance and they have a great collection of artifacts and they are more known for their doll house of more than 1,000 historical dolls,” Logozar added. “The mine is Canada’s only surface outdoor museum. Then the tour goes to Forestburg, which has a good rotation of displays.

They have a historical display on the 90 years of the United Church.”

Lunch will be available at CJ’s Deli, after which the group will be off to the museum at Strome.

“I’ve been there (Strome museum) twice and still haven’t seen it all. They have more than 20,000 artifacts, some form the 1800s.

Then in Lougheed there is a good variety of antique machinery on display. New this year is a scale model of a CPR farm.”

The last stop will be in Sedgewick. The school still has the original writing on the chalkboard from when it was closed.

After the evening meal people will be able to listen to the Electric Hillbillies for entertainment.

“People can experience rural life for an entire day. We planned around open farm days because we wanted people to come and see us out in Flagstaff County,” said Logozar. “We are trying to keep it local.”

The buses provided for the tour are not wheelchair accessible, but canes or workers are okay.

Last year the tour had 30 people, but this year it could feature more than 80 people on the buses.

“We have a back-up bus if we need it. Everyone is getting excited about the tour,” said Logozar.

To book your spot on a tour contact Sarah at 780384-4118 by Aug. 5.

Jail and Bail raises $11,098 for Boys and Girls Club

By Dan Jensen

ATB Financial was able to collect $11,098 from 11 good natured “outlaws” and an even greater number of generous community citizens for the Camrose Boys and Girls Club at its second annual Jail and Bail event July 29.

The outlaws were rounded up by Camrose Police Service and taken ATB Financial where sentence was passed and bail was set by Roy Scabar, aka The Hanging Judge.

Rascal Rees James, executive director of the Camrose Boys and Girls Club, and Dori Wolfe, Boys and Girls Club board member, were accused of stealing horses and had their bail set at $500 each.

Greasy Greg Sharp, owner of East Side Mario’s, had his bail set at $550 after being accused of sharp shooting and noodle slinging.

Michelle Majeski, Heather Ryan and Trevor Vinet of Re/Max Realty were accused of the “longest string of property heists in Camrose history” and had bail set at $750.

Bandanna Anna, from Anna A. Harder Certified General Accountant, was charged with “creative accounting” and had her bail set at $500.

Lucas Banack, of CAMFM, was charged with conspiracy to kiss a swan and had bail set at $1,000. The judge expressed sympathy for the swan.

The Jail and Bail event featured a free barbecue, as well as entertainment provided by country music artist Jamie Woodfin.

Peavy Mart in Camrose hosting Wild Pink Yonder Trail Ride fundraiser

By Dan Jensen The Peavey Mart store in Camrose will be hosting a special fundraiser on Aug. 8 in support of the Wild Pink Yonder Trail Ride for cancer.

“We’re going to be having a barbecue and selling ribbons,” explained Peavey Mart Industries advertising manager Shirley McKinnon.

“Every cent we are able to collect goes to Wild Pink Yonder.”

Wild Pink Yonder is the number one fundraising trail ride for cancer in Alberta. Since its start in 2009 it has made donations in excess of $733,000. In 2011, Peavey Mart Camrose employees Cecelia Lawrence and Walter Johnson agreed to shave their head and beard respectively if they could raise $5,000. In March of 2012, at the final home game of the Camrose Kodiaks’ season, Peavey Mart stores across the province presented a cheque for $48,427 to the Wild Pink Yonder charitable foundation.

The Wild Pink Yonder wagon train/trail ride came into being when Jane Hurl decided she wanted to give something back to the medical system that took such great care of her when she was told she had breast cancer in 2006, and continues to do so now. She wants a cure in the near future so that women who have been diagnosed do not have to live with the cloud of breast cancer and wonder whether it will come back.

“I want my daughters-in-law to be able to fight it, beat it and never know the cloud,” said Hurl. I want a cure. And then after that I want a vaccine so that my future granddaughters will never know the fear.”

The Wild Pink Yonder Trail Ride for Cancer will begin at Cardston, near Waterton Lakes National Park on Aug. 7 and ride more or less up the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, eventually arriving in Edmonton on Saturday, Aug. 29. At the Cross Cancer Institute it will deliver the Wild Pink Yonder flag that signifies the end of another year of fundraising.

The cost per day is $100 for one horse and rider, or one wagon with any number of family members.

Peavey Mart has been involved with Wild Pink Yonder by providing necessary supplies, expertise on fundraising, contacts and advertising, selling pink ribbons and by hosting barbecues at all of its stores on the first day of the ride.

Joyce Twizell passed away peacefully at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at the age of 57 years after a lengthy battle with cancer.

She was born in Camrose, AB to John and Carol Galenza and grew up in the Hay Lakes area. Joyce met Wayne, the love of her life, in Camrose, AB where they married in 1977.

She worked for many years as a hairstylist and transitioned to administration at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary.

Joyce is survived by her husband Wayne; daughters Kristy (Dory) Watson and Rena Twizell; mother Carol Galenza; brothers Terry (Debbie) Galenza and Gary Galenza; sister Gail (Gary) Prysko; grandchildren Jacob, Aaliyah, Josephine and Aria. She is predeceased by her father John Galenza.

It is hard to put into words how amazing Joyce was. She touched the lives everyone who met her. Even in her final days, Joyce was completely selfless in her compassion for everyone.

A Celebration of Joyce’s Life was held at Glamorgan Church of God, Calgary, AB on Friday, July 24, 2015.

If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made directly to the Tom Baker Centre, 1331-29 Street NW, Calgary, AB T2N 4N2. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via the website www.fostersgardenchapel.ca.

In loving memory of

Henry Trottier who passed away on August 6, 2014 Our family circle has been broken, A link gone from our chain; But though we’re parted for awhile, We know we’ll meet again.

Forever loved and remembered.

– Lois and family

Dorothy Rose Keller was born on December 16, 1941 in the Macklin, SK area. She was the eldest daughter of nine children born to Mary and John Sieben.

As a very young girl, her parents moved to Provost, AB where her father worked as a journeyman automotive mechanic at Rutland’s Garage. Dorothy took all her schooling in Provost and, in her teens, worked at the school as a janitor. Then she worked for Champney’s Food and Clothing Store to help support the family. She met Wilf in her teens and, after throwing enough rocks at him, she finally decided to marry him on April 20, 1960. Soon after, their first son Richard was born on February 16, 1961, followed by David in 1962 who died in infancy.

Then came Marvin on October 30, 1963, and in 1967, Canada’s centennial year, their daughter Angie was born on February 5.

After a visit to Jaywalkers’ Jamboree in June 1969, Dorothy and Wilf decided that Camrose was the place for them. They moved the family there in mid-July. In February 1970, they moved into their house which was home until Dorothy passed away on July 22, 2015. She had the perfect job for 20 years until George retired – working for Baum’s Singer Sewing Centre where she was always known as their right-hand person. Dorothy was always there to take care of the store and business while her employers were away on holidays, conventions and such. She always took great pride in her job which fed her love for sewing and crafting. She was a great seamstress.

From there, she went to work at their own business where she did all the paperwork. She also started her own second-hand store in the same building as One Stop Lube, where she and Wilf worked together. She always took great delight in visiting with old and new friends and would brag about her six granddaughters, one grandson and one great-granddaughter, as well as discuss her passion for gardening. A lot of these visits were not only at work, but at the garage sales that she loved so much. Come rain or shine, warm or cold, she would be there, just to visit with her many garage sale friends, old and new.

Her favorite times were when she was surrounded by her family, especially at Christmas, her most favorite time of the year. She would start her decorating midway through October so that it would be finished by Christmas in order for her house to be ready for the children and grandchildren to see and admire.

She will be deeply missed by Wilf, her husband of 55 years; children Richard, Marvin (Tracy) and Angie (Ron); bv five granddaughters Amanda (Ed), Kharley (Harley), Sam (Steve), Dakota and Harley; grandson Ian (Kayla); and greatgranddaughter Jorjya.

She was predeceased by her parents; two younger sisters; one younger brother; one infant son; and one granddaughter.

Well done, good and faithful servant.

2015 Ford Escape Spirited driving experience Matt McLeod

By Dan Jensen

The 2015 Ford Escape at Lamb Ford Sales in Camrose brings a chic package for 2015, offering customers advanced technology, style, great fuel economy and a spirited driving experience.

Escape offers three different engines: a 2.5 litre Duratec, a 1.6 litre EcoBoost and a 2.0 litre EcoBoost.

The standard 2.5 litre Duratec puts a zippy 168 horsepower and 170 lb.ft. of torque at your disposal.

The 1.6 litre EcoBoost uses twin independent variable camshaft timing to emphasize fuel efficiency or power output as your input demands. It has a rating of 7.4 litres per 100 km highway and produces 178 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque for lively acceleration and passing performance.

The 2.0 litre EcoBoost produces 240 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque.

With 90 per cent of its peak torque available from 1,750 to 4,500, it helps you make the most of every drive.

EcoBoost eng ine torque is specially engineered to provide a fluid

shifting experience and enhanced fuel economy.

The available intelligent all-wheel-drive system uses software and sensors to analyze data from 25 external signals, including wheel speed, accelerator pedal position and steering wheel angle.

The system uses the sensor inputs to help the driver turn the vehicle – adding and subtracting torque as needed via an electromagnetic clutch to deliver confident handling and traction performance in a variety of conditions.

The Escape also has Curve Control technology to assist the driver by automatically slowing the vehicle when it’s cornering too fast. Torque Vectoring Control applies brake force to the front inside wheel so that more engine torque can be applied to the outside wheel. The result is better handling and traction.

Active Grille Shutters can be adjusted on the 2.5 litre and 1.6 litre models for greater fuel efficiency.

Escape’s EcoBoost engines come standard with specially calibrated six-speed select shift

automatic transmissions that can provide a more hands-on experience via manual gear selection control.

The Class II trailer tow package enables up to 3,500 pounds of towing capability.

Trailer sway control will help by monitoring the motions of your vehicle to detect trailer sway. If needed, it can reduce engine speed and selectively apply brakes to help you maintain control of both the vehicle and the trailer.

Looking good An available chrome appearance package includes elegant accents like chrome door handles, skull caps, roof rails, rear license plate appliqué, chrome trim on the front fascia grilles, and 19-inch wheels. Magnetic Metallic debuts as a new color for 2015.

Versatile Escape provides up to 1,920 litres of cargo space with the rear seat folded.

For a flat load surface, fold the reclining 60/40 split rear seat down and place the adjustable cargo load floor in its highest position.

The available hands-

free liftgate allows fast and easy access to the cargo area with a gentle kicking motion.

Discreetly stow your go-to essentials in the front centre console. And keep others close at hand in the storage tray next to each front seat.

Escape takes care of you and your front passenger with 10-way power, heated and leather trimmed seats, standard on Titanium. And every model comfortably supports with more hip room and more rear leg room than the previous generation.

Treat yourself and your passengers to the deep, rich sound of 10 strateg ically-placed speakers.

Escape respects nature by putting several materials often destined for landfills to practical use. Recycled plastic bottles go into its carpeting, which is a resilient blend of post-consumer and post-industrial polyester fibres. Scrap cotton from jeans, sweaters and t-shirts is turned into sound-absorption material that helps keep Escape quiet inside.

Plus, the vehicle itself

is approximately 85 per cent recyclable after it has driven its last kilometre.

Technologies you want The 2015 Ford Escape has several available technologies that add to its versatility.

SYNC® with MyFord Touch® allows customers to manage information through voice commands, menus accessed via steering wheel controls, touch screens, buttons or knobs Active park assist can detect an available parallel parking space and automatically steer the vehicle into it. Drivers help by controlling the gas and brake pedals Blind Spot Information System with crosstraffic alert displays an alert in the side mirror when a vehicle is detected entering a blind spot.

Cross-traffic alert warns if traffic is detected approaching from the sides You can see the 2015 Ford Escape at Lamb Ford Sales, 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780672-2411 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Kevin Sorenson, Crowfoot MP

Standing Up for Seniors

As your Member of Parliament I have always been glad to work closely with the seniors’ community all across our large riding. The Government of Canada has developed a considerable number of programs and services that are aimed at improving the lives of Canadians.

As your MP I work to ensure that all corners of our riding are informed about and have access to opportunities that support our senior population. I am pleased to report that we have very caring and capable community leaders in our senior ranks and everyone always responds to alerts from me concerning applications for programs, new initiatives and more.

Over the years, especially in our less populated regions, we see the importance of projects that benefit seniors in our Crowfoot riding, the New Horizons for Seniors Program for example. Many of you will recall the numerous announcements that our government has made as federal support has helped build, upgrade, refurbish or add to facilities that serve our local senior citizens.

Reducing the social isolation of Canada’s senior citizens is a major goal of the federal government’s efforts. Health and Social Transfers to the provinces pay for many services and support, but there is much more that the federal government does.

Whenever I have had the opportunity to team up with local officials and seniors groups, I have always found and appreciated innovative partners. Their diverse knowledge base, resources and collective experiences help us explore new and meaningful ways we can keep seniors active, engaged and informed. Our Government recognizes the valuable contributions seniors have made to our society and the economy. We are acting to ensure that seniors maintain quality of life and continue to be active members of their communities.

In our area of Alberta, you can dial 2-1-1 on your phone for information about government and local community programs and services. This line is available 24 hours a day and is a great example of how community partners work together, as it is sponsored by the United Way Centraide and others.

1 800 O-Canada (1-800-622-6232) is another handy contact point for seniors or www.seniors.gc.ca. Service Canada centres have information available about Government of Canada programs and services, including Old Age Security and the Canada Pension Plan.

Our Government has provided Canadians with close to $76 billion this year through Canada’s public pension system.

We provided a top up to the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) in 2011 to help Canada’s most vulnerable seniors. This was the largest increase in 25 years to the GIS for the lowestincome seniors. This measure further improves the financial security and well-being of more than 680,000 seniors across Canada.

We are working hard to address elder abuse with awareness campaigns. Projects funded by the New Horizons for Seniors Program raise awareness of elder abuse and legislation helps ensure consistently tough penalties for offences involving the abuse of elderly people.

The Camrose Sea Serpents Swim Club will be trying to move up in the provincial standings with a strong showing at the regional swim competition in Wainwright this weekend.

“I am hoping we are going to have a large number of our swimmers who are going to want to attend,” said Camrose Sea Serpents coach Shane Gau. “The provincial competition is going to be held at the Kinsmen Aquatic Centre the weekend after and we want to be able to send a strong team.”

The Camrose Sea Serpents sat seventh in the Alberta Summer Swim Association before a July 28 meet at the Lloydminster Leisure Centre, behind the Red Deer Martins, Calgary Tritons, Calgary Swordfish, Edmonton Derrick DevilRays, Edmonton Huma, and Innisfail Dolphins.

The club placed either first or second in each of its 10 meets up until July 25.

“We just had our own Invitational meet at the Manluk Centre in Wetaskiwin where we finished first,” said Gau. The Sea Serpents began the season with a meet in Vermilion May

23, followed by meets in Wetaskiwin May 30, Lloydminster June 6, Red Deer June 12 and 13, Sherwood Park June 13, Provost June 20, Killam July 10 and 11, the University of Alberta Aquatic Centre July 11, Fort Saskatchewan July 18, and Wetaskiwin (its own meet) July 25. The final tune-up before regionals was at Lloydminster July 28.

Gau is hoping to take around 50 swimmers to regionals. “We have just under 80 swimmers in our club, so if we can take two

thirds of them we’re doing pretty well,” he said.

The season has been a different one for the Sea Serpents in that no one swimmer has really stood out and broken provincial records.

“We have a lot of swimmers in a few different age groups that excel, with a consistent 10 or 11 medalling at every meet,” said Gau. “We also have a strong contingent of swimmers who are striving towards getting on that medal podium.”

The Camrose Sea Serpents numbers have

remained steady over the last few years.

“Our numbers now are right where we like them to be,” said Gau. “Any more than the 80 and it gets unmanageable in the pool. This is a really committed group that we have and we are finding the (Camrose Aquatic Centre) isn’t big enough to accommodate the numbers that we have.”

Gau and his fellow Camrose Sea Serpents coaches Todd Sieben, Jana Gau, Amelia Marcin, Camryn Gau, Christian Ford and Miranda Nash stress the impor-

tance of strong work habits, sportsmanship, and proper nutrition and rest.

“We are working to develop well rounded athletes who will do well in any sport they choose,” said Gau. “We have a lot of individuals who participate in multiple sports.

We keep telling them that you can train in different ways.”

Why do so many cities number streets starting at 50?

By Niall McKenna, for the Alberta Motor Association

As you ease your car or camper onto the road for this, the second-last long weekend of the summer, how close will you pay attention to road signs along the way?

If you’re Alberta nerds like us, you’ll be transfixed by our province’s smorgasbord of odd and unusual place names. If Hairy Hill, Ma-Me-O Beach or Dead Man’s Flats peak your curiosity you can thumb through the four-volume Place Names of Alberta at your local library. But there is one puzzle you won’t find the answer to in any book.

Why are so many main streets in Alberta called 50th Street (or Avenue)?

Not First Street. Not Main Street. Not even King or Queen Street, as so many towns in Saskatchewan are.

Believe it or not, a remarkable 41 per cent of Alberta’s urban municipalities follow this 50-50 pattern: from major centres like Red Deer, Leduc, Lloydminster, Camrose, Stony Plain and Cold

Lake, to villages like Irma, Holden, Andrew and Waskatenau.

But why 50? Did planners just figure, “We’ll never grow bigger than 50 blocks, right?”

Well, the answer is never that simple, just like why you always see only a single shoe by the roadside. After Googling ourselves silly, mass-dialing historians and pestering government officials, our search turned cold. We were about to look into that lonely shoe question when Red Deer historian Michael Dawe came to the rescue.

“Oh, it’s one of the most common questions I get asked is why we got these names,” the fifthgeneration central Albertan told us.

The reason, it turns out, says a lot about a town’s affinity to either Edmonton or Calgary.

Dawe pored over years of old Red Deer council records, landing on a short paragraph in a city commissioner’s report dated Jan. 28, 1946: “It has been suggested that we arrange the number of houses…

on the same system as Edmonton.”

Up to that point, you see, Red Deer preferred Calgary’s street system, which used numbers and quadrants — northwest, southwest and so on.

Northwestern Utilities, which planned to hook Red Deer up to its expanding natural gas network, wanted residents to look north instead.

Northwestern had been operating in Edmonton since 1923 and was familiar with its numbering, which placed the city’s midpoint at 101st Street and 101st Avenue, also known as Jasper Avenue.

The company thought the consistency of numbers, and lack of quadrants, would make homes easier to pinpoint for service calls.

As Northwestern expanded its pipeline network into the 1950s, it brought the Edmonton model with it — cut in half to make each community’s midpoint 50th Street and 50th Avenue. Many towns in central and northern Alberta were happy to buy in because it meant the

clean-burning, big-city convenience of the “modern economic fuel.”

Southern Alberta communities, which were serviced by a different gas company – Canadian Western Natural Gas – stuck mostly with the numbers and quadrants found in Calgary (a handful, like Taber, chose central and northern Alberta’s new 50-50 model).

But how come Camrose, Viking and Provost start at 50th but Donalda, Coronation and Wainwright thumb their noses?

The switch-overs were not without pushback.

In Red Deer, the Central Alberta Pioneers and Old Timers’ Association “strongly opposed” 50th Avenue taking the place of Gaetz Avenue, named after the city’s most beloved pioneer, Leonard Gaetz. In St. Albert, council was set to make the 50-50 switch in 1951, but mysteriously backed away.

While in Leduc, which renamed Main Street as 50th Avenue in 1957, city council recently switched back to the old name after

pressure from local businesses.

To this day, we Southern Albertans and Central/Northern Albertans mostly differ on how to number our streets, just as we do on which NHL or CFL team colours to wear. But like that family reunion at the lake or cabin, we sometimes come together.

Those two gas companies – Northwestern Utilities and Canadian Western Natural Gas – eventually merged to form the province-wide ATCO. While in Edmonton, as the city expanded and numbers ran down to zero, planners brought in the Calgary-style quadrant system in order to add new streets.

So while you’re meandering up and down Alberta’s highways and main streets this summer, getting bored of eye spy or the licence plate game, take some time to enjoy the quirky little bits of history that make this province so interesting. Relax, enjoy the ride, and remember that AMA has got you covered on the roadside.

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.

Drag car racer Faulkner earns two second place finishes

You supply the photo in person or by email (ads@camrosebooster.com) and we will add it to your paid classified advertisement at absolutely no extra charge.

Ryder Faulkner

By Murray Green

Eight-year-old Bittern Lake area drag race driver Ryder Faulkner recorded two second place finishes at the Rocky Mountain Nationals at the Edmonton Raceway July 18 and 19.

“When I first saw dragsters, I was begging to drive one,” said Ryder.

His dad Lindsay has been racing motorcycles for many years so the attraction to the sport came naturally from hanging out at the track.

“When I went to the track they had junior dragsters at the same competition. That’s when Ryder started to see them,” explained Lyndsay.

“I like dragsters because they are fun. I get to go down on the track and see what it looks like,” added Ryder.

“Sometimes I race by myself and other times against other racers.”

If there are an uneven number of racers then a driver may draw a by-run, meaning he doesn’t have an

opponent against him, but the timing still applies.

The rookie of three races, two solid runs, went from being one of the 20 entries to instantly contending with his driving skills and a new motor.

“When we first started, we bought a car to get him into it. It had a really slow motor in it, so he wasn’t competitive at all,” said Lindsay.

“We then invested a little more money and bought a new motor. In his first race with the new motor, he came in second.”

A total of around 60 cars are entered in junior dragsters, but the field is divided into age groups.

“In his age group of eight to 10, there were about 20 cars. He started in the beginner class and will move up until he hits 16 and then they move into the men’s racing,” said Lindsay.

The Faulkers moved into the area from Ontario because of work and soon liked the area around Cam-

rose. Lindsay worked for Harley Davidson, a natural fit for his love of motorcycles.

Ryder, who is bilingual, fit right in at the francophone school in Camrose, and will be going into Grade 4.

“We race in a circuit, mostly in Edmonton, but we will be going to Medicine Hat on the long weekend and hopefully to the new track in Rimbey,” added Lindsay. “We are just trying to find a free weekend he is not racing in Edmonton.”

Ryder could race every weekend until the end of September, but he wants to make sure he hits at least the bigger race once a month.

“It’s really fun. Sometimes you win a trophy, plaque or money,” he said.

The methanal cost runs about $50 a day for the dragster, so it isn’t about making money.

“The car with a new motor is worth between $4,000 and $5,000,” added Lindsay. “We could use a few sponsors to help out.”

Blackhawks edge local Axemen

Business Manager

By Murray Green

The Edmonton Blackhawks scored a 6-5 victory over the Camrose Axemen to create a four way battle for the top playoff spot in the North Central Alberta Baseball League July 28.

Camrose built up a 5-1 lead, but Edmonton fought back with two runs in the third, added two more in the fifth and the winning run in the sixth. A nine day layoff between games caught up to Camrose as the defence was shaky at times.

Kris Kushnerick led the offence with two hits, while Chance Wheatley, Blair Mulder, Joe Pasychnyk, Ryan Petryshen and Paul Ofrim each had one. Wheatley and Kushnerick had doubles to drive in runs.

Mulder took the mound, giving up five runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks, while striking out two over five innings. A couple of errors came back to haunt Camrose. Kyle Muzechka came on in relief, but was tagged with the loss.

He allowed one run on three hits, while striking out one batter.

The Blackhawks lead the league with an 11-4 record. The Axemen at 11-5, Stony Plain Mets at 11-5 and Westlock Red Lions at 11-6 currently hold the four playoff spots.

Camrose travels to face the Sherwood Park Athletics on Aug. 4. The final home game is slated for Aug. 12 against the Stony Plain Mets at 7 p.m. at Harry Andreassen Field in Kin Park.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM

Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality.

2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system.

3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water color.

4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity.

5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants.

The UDF program will begin July 9, 2015, starting with Zone A and will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discoloration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Emma Knapik at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428. For additional information please visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca.

BRSD teacher says goodbye to Kamifurano

By Brenda Knull, BRSD teacher

I could live in Kamifurano for the rest of my life; it’s really that great of a town.

Of course, I’ve missed my Camrose life and the people in it. Moving back is something to look forward to. I feel grateful for being given such an opportunity to learn about another culture and about Japan in general. I have around 25,000 pictures (yes, you read that correctly) and countless memories that will make sure I never forget my time in Kamifurano.

For me one of the best ways to know about another land is to experience it firsthand. There is a lot to be learned by taking note of other communities and cultures through TV, the Internet, personal stories, and books. I feel that once you are exposed to a new culture you will be changed. You might even want to adopt some different ways of life into your own. You may feel you better appreciate some features of Canadian cul-

BRSD teacher Brenda Knull will be missing vistas such as this one in Kamifurano.

ture too. There is a lot to be thankful for living in central Alberta.

There are a number of people in Kamifurano and in Camrose who pro-

vided me with strength as I moved out of the comfort of my home to live overseas

for two years. Thank you to the City of Camrose and the Town of Kamifurano for trusting me to teach English to the citizens of Kamifurano. Thank you to the Japan/ Camrose Friendship Society for hiring me for a life changing teaching/ambassador position. Thank you to Battle River School Division for granting me a leave of absence. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read my newspaper articles.

Thank you to my family and friends for supporting my dream and for believing in me. I don’t think that I could have predicted that I would one day live in Japan but I’m sure glad that I did.

“I am not the same having seen the moon shine on the other side of the world.”

– Mary Anne Radmacher If you ever have any questions or would like to connect with regards to Kamifurano or the Japan/ Camrose Friendship Society please feel free to contact me at bknull777@ gmail.com.
