Location. Location. Location. It’s the most important lesson anyone can learn in real estate. The same rule is equally important for placement of working smoke alarms. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign is Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm. Jeff Knopf, Fire and Life Safety Educator with Camrose Fire Department, urges homeowners to also position working smoke alarms outside of sleeping areas and on every level of homes, including the basement. “Statistically, half of home fire deaths occur between 11 pm and 7 am, the hours most people typically sleep. Working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half,” notes Knopf. The Camrose Fire Department urges everyone to install, test, and replace batteries or remove and replace older models of smoke alarms during Fire Prevention Week, October 4-10. As one of their many initiatives during this year’s campaign, CFD will be giving Grade 4 students in the City of Camrose free smoke detectors to install in their bedrooms. This is possible due to the extreme corporate generosity of Wild Rose Co-op, along with the fund-raising efforts of local volunteer firefighters.

Pat Walker and Kelsey Miller have started another year at Camrose and District Preschool. This is Walker’s 25th year with the preschool. By Laurel Nadon

For preschool teacher Pat Walker, the best part of the day is sitting with a little group of children just talking with them and hearing what they have to say. “They talk about their lives and what they’re up to and their dreams. Just that casual talk, that’s what I like the best. They feel like they can talk to us about anything,” said Walker, who is now in her 25th year with the Camrose and District Preschool. She said she enjoys seeing their “ah-ha” moments, when students realize that they can do something all by themselves. “They come into preschool these little people, not quite independent. By the time they’re done their 10 months with us, they’re ready to go on and meet the world. They’ve gotten that confidence and learned some structure,” Walker said. “It’s a chance for them to grow, problem-solve and work things out on their own. It’s what I see happening in the children that keeps me coming back.” Walker says a heartwarming moment occurred last year in the four-year-old class that left two mothers in tears. There was a little girl who didn’t want to be there and was making that fact clear. “She was angry and just screamed. She wouldn’t come into the classroom,” Walker recalls. “We had another girl who wasn’t always sure about coming to preschool, but had done the three-year-old program. That little girl who had been there before was the one who went over and befriended the girl and drew her into preschool.”

She said that moments like this are particularly gratifying. When children have a conflict, her first reaction is to step back and listen. “More times than not, they’ll work it out themselves,” Walker said. The preschool follows the learning through play philosophy, said Maria Lobreau, program director. The three-yearold program targets socialization and playing with, not just alongside, other children. The four-year-old students learn about numbers, letter recognition, weather, days of the week and colours. “Every child learns differently and at a different rate. Our goal at the end of the fouryear-old program is for them to be ready and willing to start kindergarten,” Lobreau said. “Kindergarten teachers comment on how wonderfully ready our students are on the first day. They can tell right away who has been in preschool.” The preschool, in its 31st year, has two three-year-old classes and three four-yearold classes, with the possibility of a Wednesday/Friday afternoon class opening. There is a maximum of 22 students per class, which was decreased from 24 students in the 201415 school year. Lobreau said that during this transition time into school, it’s important to help children have a regular routine. “Help them decide what to wear, what to have for breakfast, what to have for snack and reassure them that everyone feels anxious when they do something for the first time,” Lobreau said, adding that getting enough sleep and having a good breakfast are also important.

Over her years at the preschool, Walker has noticed that preschool age children are becoming more sophisticated, self-confident, self-aware and more in touch with technology. Preschool used to be called playschool and was mostly about socialization. Now, more learning is integrated such as learning about numbers and individual letters, due mostly to a demand from parents. About 10 years ago, the threeyear-old program was added due to community demand. Walker was a stay-athome mom and day home provider when her children were young. She then earned an Early Childhood Development certificate and was the assistant teacher her first year with the preschool before becoming the head teacher. Kelsey Miller is in her seventh year at the preschool, and is the head teacher for the three-year-old class. Miller was also a student in the first class that Walker taught. “I think it’s a blessing to work with such a nice lady,” Miller said. “We complement each other. We’re both very passionate about the learning through play philosophy.” Miller added that she feels preschool is a safe environment where children can come and gain confidence, curiosity for learning and meet other children. She said it is particularly wonderful when shy children begin to open up. Walker said that she enjoys seeing graduation and marriage news about former preschool students in the newspaper, and that a few of them are back with their own children.

Playing with Fire...

Drugs, Doping and the Olympic Torch Join us for this upcoming LUNCH AND LEARN Examples of high-profile individuals and suspected systemic programs of doping in sport are creating a culture of uncertainty about fair play in sports. The non-therapeutic use of agents – including anabolic steroids – with the capacity to enhance athletic performance is rife, and must be so for a reason. Dr. Andrew Solomon, consultant physician at East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust in London, will discuss what happens to skeletal muscle when such agents are used to benefit performance. “When these people were competing,” he says, “they did not play fair: they were playing with fire.”

Augustana celebrates re-opening of Founders’ Hall By Dan Jensen The two-year and $1 million Founders’ Hall renovation project was unveiled to current and former students as the final act of Augustana’s Alumni Weekend Sept. 27. “Founders’ Hall is Augustana’s iconic building, not just our first building but also the space that houses the most important memories of our alumni,” said Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger in a re-opening program. “It is a physical representation of educational values that have informed this campus since its founding. In renovating Founders’ and securing it – we hope for another 100 years – we are honouring both Augustana’s history and investing in a shared aspiration that future generations of students will look back at their time here, on this campus and in this building, with the same fondness and the same realization that their lives were shaped in transformative and important ways within these walls.” Founders’ Hall was built in 1912 to house Camrose Lutheran College classrooms, offices, dorms, the library, kitchen and laundry. By 1940 it had three classrooms on the main floor (two to the left of the front doors and one at the back), as well as a classroom, dining hall and kitchen on the lower level. Four decades later it was moved from its original location immediately west of where the Faith and Life Centre sits to its current location next to the library. By 2012 university officials decided that it needed significant renovations to restore its functional use, correct structural deficiencies, improve mechanical, electrical and IT systems, and to ensure accessibility to all floors. The process of deter-

Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger with former Augustana board of regents chair Stanley Gooch in front of the newly renovated Founders’ Hall.

mining what the renovated Founders Hall would look like involved consultation with key stakeholders, including prospective students, alumni, finance, communications, development, Learning Advising Beyond, the associate dean of teaching and the associate dean of research. “We had to learn how to connect the program with the space planning in a cohesive manner,” said University of Alberta vice president of facilities and operations Don Hickey. “Through the consultations we learned that former and current students, staff

and faculties were deeply attached to the building.” Hickey said it was important not only to honour the symbolic value of and the emotion connection to Founders’ Hall by current alumni, but also for the building to have a meaningful connection for all future students. “The breadth of the groups housed in the building include prospective students office, development, alumni, Learning Advising Beyond, academic and career advising and others. I am very pleased to see this project, a cumulation of much planning and

teamwork over the past few years, brought to life as something we can all experience for the decades to come.” Augustana vice-president of student life Sam Kohlman and Augustana Students’ Association president Stephanie Gruhlke said the new Founders’ Hall will give students who attend Augustana the ability to explore international experiences and community service learning opportunities and help them become better learners. “At times the process of finding these types of opportunities can be daunting

and confusing,” said Kohlman. “Having all the support consolidated at Founders’ Hall makes it easier and less stressful for students to utilize these services. It will act as a one stop shop for students to go to customize their degrees. There, advisors will be there to help with academics, as well as with the perfect international and community service learning opportunity.” Kohlman encouraged past students to reflect on their experience at Augustana. “Be reminded of what you learned and the opportunities you were given,” he said. Founders’ Hall’s new main floor includes the Luther and Florence Olsen Welcome Centre, a reception desk and the prospective students’ office. “The welcome centre will focus as our campus living room, a hospitable space where we welcome guests to our campus and share our institution’s story through displays of photographs and memorabilia,” said Dr. Berger. “It honours the hub of fellowship that Luther and Florence created in their home for many Camrose Lutheran College students.” The lower level includes the administrative offices of alumni, development and public relations, as well as the Jeanne Hachborn Common Room, a multipurpose area that will be used for advising and career development workshops, meetings and community gatherings. The second floor is home to Learning Advising Beyond, a full service centre where students will work with staff to develop individualized learning plans. The third and fourth floors house offices for 14 faculty members, along with adjoining spaces for student research assistants. Continued on page 17

Gooch reflects on life at Camrose Lutheran College By Dan Jensen

Stanley Gooch reflected on what life was like at Founders’ Hall (previously known as Old Main) in the early days at the building’s re-opening Sept. 27. “I moved into this building when my widowed mother became dean of women,” said Gooch. “I was three and we lived on the second floor at the back.” Gooch said not all students lived in Old Main in the 1940s. “There were a number of students living off campus because this was not quite big enough for the student body in those years.” He said the girls lived

on the second floor while the boys lived on the third and fourth floors. “There was a door when you came up the stairway that separated the girls. Anytime someone else showed up they shouted ‘man on floor’ and it reverberated around the building.” The lower level held a classroom, as well as the dining hall and kitchen. “Dining was a real family affair in those days,” said Gooch. “Everybody was there. They had long tables (this was before it became cafeteria style) and food was bought out to each table by volunteer students.

The kitchen staff included a number of students who actually got paid for parttime work, as well as a fulltime cook and an assistant. The faculty sat in the centre of the room at a faculty table. And, of course, they always sang grace before every meal; it was an occasion of great fellowship.” Gooch explained that since Camrose Lutheran College was a high school, parents who sent their children there expected discipline. “Students were expected to attend chapel every day of the year and to attend church on Sunday morning. I remember my mother, as

dean of women, would check all the rooms on the floor to make sure that nobody was hiding out and not going to church. You were free to go to any Lutheran church you wanted in Camrose.” Gooch said social activities in the 1940s included a boys’ party for the girls and a girls’ party for the boys, and a Sadie Hawkins event. “If you got tired of that kind of partying you could participate in the events that happened outside the college. The student body was often called to pick potatoes because a lot of farmers donated their potatoes to the school. The fees for attending the school

were low and the salaries for teachers and staff were modest.” Gooch said there was a strong sense of fellowship at the school. “That fellowship has lasted throughout the years and I know that those of you who graduated in those early years still feel very warm about Camrose Lutheran College, Augustana University College, and now the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta.” Gooch served as the Canadian Ambassador to Mexico, and was chair of the Augustana board of regents at the time of merger with the University of Alberta.

CREATIVE ART

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Bendfeld and Bohning families celebrated Camrose Culture Days with balloon creations. Kenna Bendfeld had a butterfly, left, Sydney Bohning had a kitty, Liam Bendfeld shows off his minion and Justin Bohning was creative in getting a bow and arrow made by the balloon lady on Sept. 26.

Pack A.D. continues to improve By Murray Green

Pack A.D. is returning to Camrose by popular demand. Local fans love the girl power band with strong vocals much like Joan Jett and Blackhearts had. The two piece band knows how to rock with a punk style. The band will be appearing on the Bailey Theatre stage on Friday, Oct. 9, at 8 p.m., in the Rose City Roots Music Society series. With drummer Maya Miller and guitarist and vocalist Becky Black, the band puts out an incredible sound from only two members. Although some of the edge on the songs are headed off the mainstream chart, the band’s energy tends to bring you back for a second listen. Black has always been a terrifyingly unhinged vocalist and a fringe-dwelling guitar goddess, but she’s learned over the years to channel her copious talents outward with range. Miller’s Keith Moonesque disregard for the health of her drum kit now similarly displays a creeping command of lyrical subtlety, while her recent decision to start chiming in on vocals has added a whole new layer of potential to Pack A.D. If you want to calmly listen to a band and have a few pops while doing so, then maybe this isn’t the band for you. However, if want to be hit with something new, Pack A.D. will keep you on the edge of your seat and wondering what words are going to be sung next. Now signed to Nettwerk Records, the Vancouver duo is poised to make the crucial breakthrough. The band’s fourth album Unpersons maximizes the talent that two members can produce. From East Vancouver, Pack A.D. released its debut album Tintype and then added Funeral Mixtape soon after.

REFLECTIONS

Letters to the Editor

by Bonnie Hutchinson Early Philanthropy

I’ve heard rumours that younger people are not as likely as their parents and grandparents to contribute to charities or their community. I don’t know if the rumour is true, but I do know it’s not true for at least one 13-year-old. According to a usually reliable source (the New York Times), on September 24 at 8:20 p.m., 13-year-old Erin Byrnes won a car worth $70,000. By 8:21 p.m. she had given it away. *** Erin Byrnes is the youngest of a family of eight. Among her many activities, she volunteers at Joseph House, a Syracuse home that offers mothers and pregnant women a place where they can live, raise their children and get help being a parent. Erin has been volunteering with her mom every Thursday. She helps take care of the babies and does chores around the house. One day she heard her mom and some other women talking about how they needed to raise more money for the house. Erin wanted to help raise money too. She began collecting bottles and cans to raise money. Joseph House has an annual fundraiser raffle and gala. Erin took $200 of the money she’d raised collecting bottles and cans and bought 60 tickets for the annual car raffle. That would be 60 tickets out of 26,000. Erin wasn’t legally old enough to win the prize (you have to be 18), so she wrote her last name down on the tickets. Her parents agreed that in the unlikely event that she won the prize, she could decide what to do with the winnings. Erin was going to be at the fundraiser gala because she was receiving a leadership award for volunteering and raising money for the home. ***

When the man who’d been appointed to pull the winning ticket reached in, Erin told her mother to cross her fingers. The emcee read out “Byrnes” and their phone number. Erin’s dad lifted her up on to his shoulders so she could see. Then he set her down and she walked up, alone, to the stage. She told the crowd she wanted to give the ticket back. The emcee and the crowd were stunned. The emcee had Erin repeat herself, louder, into the microphone.

Letters are welcomed but please limit them to 400 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only name of writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted. The Camrose Booster may edit for clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Staying the Course?

It seems this needlessly long and expensive election call has already made me tired of politician’s repeated talking point answers to any question by journalists or the public. One has to admit that all are very skilled at avoiding real answers to real questions. With more time I expect there will be more of the same with each group focusing on making the others look incompetent rather than telling us what, and how, they would govern better. The present governing party continues to insist that the economy is the main concern and they are best at providing continued growth and prosperity. Their record, however, is less than stellar and their priorities beg for an explanation. The recent cut of $ 1.8 million to a medical research program is a point in question. Firstly, this amount of money is peanuts compared to other spending and, secondly, the proud record of Canada’s contribution to medical research seem to

be forgotten. Recall the doctors Banting and Best? How about the transplant developments in Toronto and Edmonton as well as the advancements in heart disease treatments at the Edmonton Heart Institute? This governing party did find $12 million to send observers to the Ukrainian election and $28 million to celebrate the war of 1812. The “crowning achievement” had to be the G20 summit where over $1 billion was spent on security. To be fair, this included the construction of “Fake Lake” and a few “Gazebos” in Tony Clements’ riding to help his re-election campaign. There are a host of other issues such as the “unaccountable $3.1 billion” that we were assured was “certainly well spent.” A smaller item might be the slimy method used to disassemble the former CWB with the assets given to a couple of needy global grain companies. The list can go on and on but it needs to be remembered that all of these “accomplishments” were provided by a party that promised “clean and competent” governance “free of scandals” and “no appointments of political hacks and hangers on to the Senate.” Some of these folks are now in jail. “Staying the course” will mean much more of the same. Do we really want, need or can afford this? Horst Schreiber Ohaton Tough decision I have voted for the Conservatives ever since they

merged with the Canadian Alliance and the PC Party. Kevin Sorenson has done a great job since he first started running in 1993. He is a great friend and a great MP. Then my door bell rang. Katherine Swampy was standing at my door. She is a proud mother of five children, she was a student from Augusta, and a First Nation leader. She worked very hard to ensure fair elections for the Samson Cree Nation. Now, I am at a crossroad. I want a government who puts the middle class first. I desire a government that builds one million high quality child care spaces. I also desire a government that helps local businesses grow by reducing the small business tax. I desire to help give seniors and loved ones access to the care they need with better long term care and home care. I am a nurse’s aide. This does matter to me. I am at a crossroad. I will have to decide to vote for my friend Kevin or someone who I do not know making promises which I am not sure whether he or she will keep. This is the first time in 15 years that I have questioned my vote. On October 19 I sure hope that I make the right choice. I sure hope all of you will make the right choice on October 19. Time will tell what the voter will choose. I sure hope that it will be the right choice. Lorne Vandewoude, Camrose

***

Two of Erin’s older siblings are through college, two are in college, and her parents still need to put Erin and her next oldest sibling through college. Erin’s parents run a small business and drive a small sedan. It’s possible that the $70,000 vehicle or its cash value might have been useful to the family. But according to her mother, Erin’s plan right from the start was that if she won she would give the prize to Joseph House. And the grown-ups smiled and said, “That’s nice, Dear,” as grown-ups do. They never dreamed she would win. ***

Now that her gift has been given, Erin’s next project is to raise money to buy Christmas gifts for the moms at Joseph House. She’s noticed that the Joseph House mothers’ lives are taken up with filling basic survival needs, things that most people take for granted. Erin would like them to have Christmas gifts that are unexpected – something they want, not just need. ***

She was at the Camrose Saturday Farmers’ Market, Sept. 19, and will be visiting the farmers’ markets in Hanna Oct. 7 and Provost Oct. 9. “I’m very grateful to have an enthusiastic group of volunteers, who are delivering leaflets and joining me as I meet people in this huge region” states Swampy. “It was wonderful to meet people on the main streets in Three Hills and Trochu yesterday (Tuesday, Sept. 29). Swampy made stops also in New Norway, Bashaw, and Stettler. “Lots of people are asking for signs and we brought the few left that

dates, attended a forum packed with students at Camrose Composite High School. “What amazing, thoughtful questions the students had for us, I was really impressed,” she said. Many more opportunities are coming for people in the district to meet Swampy over the next few weeks. She has accepted invitations to forums at the Stettler Community Hall Oct. 6, New Sarepta Community High School Oct. 8, the Badlands Community Facility in Drumheller Oct. 13, and Tofield High School Oct. 14. “I’m running because I care deeply for this district. I want to bring the voices of the people to Ottawa, to be their member of parliament so they can shape the government that suits their needs,” said Swampy. “People are really wanting change. Only Tom Mulcair and the NDP have the leadership and experience to get the job done.”

Liberal candidate looking forward to the challenge By Dan Jensen

Ryley businessman Andy Kowalski has never shied away from a challenge. “I would like to make it a little tougher for (Conservative) Kevin Sorenson to take the Battle River-Crowfoot Riding,” said Kowalski, who is seeking election as a Liberal party candidate Oct. 19. “If I can take some of the votes that people feel he is going to get – why not?” Kowalski feels when it comes to getting the economy moving the Liberal platform can’t be beat. “Our plan is to put $10 billion a year into the infrastructure for three straight years,” he said. “We know that would create a deficit, but we have shown that we can handle those kind of deficits and bring them down. We have been the best money handlers for 10 years so if you want to put your trust in anybody you should put your trust in us.” Kowalski said there are many unemployed trades people who would be happy to work on replacing community infrastructure at a cost that is less than they would have charged a few years ago when the economy was hot. “Every community has infrastructure that is 60 to 70 years old and needs to be replaced,” he explained. “In Alberta alone I would like to see money spent on the tripling of Highway 63, the doubling of Highway 81, Highway 21, Highway 14, Highway 56 and Highway 41. There is still 200 odd billion in contracts to fill up in Fort McMurray that need

to be finished and we need those highways.” Kowalski believes Prime Minister Stephen Harper has failed in his efforts to stimulate the Canadian economy. “He threw out incentives that are going to be clawed back through taxes and he tried bringing the bank rate down in an effort to get people borrowing and starting new businesses and neither has worked,” he said. “I think Canadians are losing confidence in him and in the system.” Kowalski said an elected Liberal government would introduce a better plan to be able to attract more foreign investment. “We have foreigners who are wanting to invest in Canada who don’t know if they can get in,” he explained. “When the Chinese wanted a big gas company they were able to buy Nexen, but when foreigners wanted to buy a phosphorous plant in Saskatchewan they were told that they couldn’t. When you are trying to make deals you have to have an even keel and make the rules so that they apply to everyone. Nobody will put in a bid in on a company if they don’t think they are able to be successful.” Kowalski said Liberal leader Justin Trudeau is backed by a solid team that includes Ralph Goodale and former PM Paul Martin. “The guys that slayed the dragon are still on the team,” he said. “I think Mr. Trudeau has surrounded himself with the best people

he can. If you surround yourself with good people you get good results.” Kowalski is not sure that the government made a good decision in doing away with the Wheat Board monopoly. “I have always been under the belief that when you divide you are going to be conquered, and that is why I never wanted the Wheat Board split. You want a large monopoly where four farmers can’t be picked off one by one and that might be what is happening with a few of them. That is why I am getting the complaints I am.” Kowalski immigrated to Canada with his brother and mother from what was communist Poland in 1971. “We moved into the Boyle Street area in Edmonton and we were pretty poor,” he said. “My mom worked at the Sands Motor Hotel for 35 cents an hour at that time and I went to school for six years in the Boyle Street area. I must say the people in the area are beautiful people because I never had any problems.” After graduating from high school Kowalski took a couple years to travel before taking an apprenticeship at NAIT and starting work with his mother and her husband at Ryley Sausage, which he was able to purchase in 1991. Although he has no previous experience as an elected official he has been a member of the Liberal Party since 1993, and twice ran for a position as a member of Ryley council. “I was unsuccessful both times, but the second time I

lost by just eight votes,” he said. “I was told at the time that I was too direct. I guess I wouldn’t make a very good politician because I don’t beat around the bush.” Kowalski has experience in importing beef and pork from the United States, Nicaragua, New Zealand and Australia, as well as importing industrial food

processing machinery, inexpensive lighting solutions, affordable air compressors and food grinders. Following multiple trips to China he developed a network that allows for the continued procurement, import and modification of most equipment and machinery required for meat processing and packaging.

Augustana Campus celebrates re-opening of historic Founders’ Hall Continued from page 8 Dr. Berger noted that the second floor of Founders’ Hall will be connected to the Augustana forum and library via a pedway named after Alver and Arlene Person, both of whom were students at Augustana in 1953. “Arlene received the Augustana distinguished alumni award in 1967 and the Lois Aspenes award in 2012,” said Dr. Berger. “Alver received the Augustana distinguished alumni award in 1994. Together they were founding and generous donors to the community awards program and both of them served on the community awards committee.” Stanley Gooch, who was the last chair of the Augustana board of regents before the merger with the University of Alberta, praised university officials for the work they have done in moving Augustana ahead. “The board (of regents) wanted to ensure that Augustana was able to change with the times, to prosper, to offer its students all the facilities, and then some, that were afforded by the most successful universities in Canada,” he said. “I think I speak for all members of the board of that era when we say to the University of Alberta, represented by Dean Berger and his predecessors and the faculty and administrators in Edmonton, that you have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. It was a huge thing in heritage terms that this building has been preserved, as Dean Berger says, for the next 100 years. That is very much appreciated by all of us from the past.”

Chamber Visitor Information Centre has had busy year By Dan Jensen

The Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Centre guest book has received just over 4,000 new signatures since the start of January. “The comments the visitors have written about the centre are very favourable,” said Chamber executive director Sharon Anderson. “We get a lot of comments on our wonderful selection of brochures, the great displays and friendly staff. In fact, one visitor said this centre is the best he has ever seen.” While it is hard to say

whether the number of international visitors to the centre is up or down, the number of countries from which they have been coming is more wide spread. “We’ve had visitors from around the world, including Norway, Brazil, England, Slovania, France, Australia and Holland,” said Anderson. “We just welcomed a bus load of 12 people from China.” The guest book isn’t normally signed by people from Camrose and area. “If we had local residents sign it we would have a lot more names,” said

Anderson. “We had a lot of interest locally in the summer in the train (Mirror Lake Express) and the Be a Tourist in Your Own Town event. We sold 4,300 tickets for the train.” The Visitor Information Centre was operated in the summer by students Valerie Brown, Lauren Feth and Brynn Markowsky. “They did a great job for us,” said Anderson. “They were professional with everything they did and showed a lot of passion. Alberta Visitor Information Centres send out surprise

shoppers and we received 98 points out of a possible 100, which is almost unheard of. We have one visitor who was so pleased with the service he received that he gave Val a hug and a kiss.” The Camrose Visitor Information Centre was nominated for an AMMY awards in the category of Best In Class Innovation.. The award, which was presented to Banff Visitor Services at the Alberta Visitor Information Providers’ Conference at Lethbridge last week, recognizes organizations and individuals

who have gone above and beyond, providing an exceptional Alberta visitor information centre experience. AMMY recipients are invited to use the award logo on marketing and promotional materials, and are encouraged to display the glass award and certificate honouring their achievement at their centre. The Camrose Visitor Information Centre won the award for visitor service excellence in 2014 for marketing a large range of destinations to the community, and for creating local advocates for tourism.

Curling tickets available By Murray Green

Camrose will be hosting the Boston Pizza Cup (Alberta men’s provincial curling championships) at the EnCana Arena from Feb. 10 to 16, 2016. The full event packages are now available to watch the best in Alberta Men’s Curling and determine which team will represent the province at the 2016 Brier to be held in Ottawa. Darren McDermott has been named chair of the host committee and will work alongside event manager Ken Duggan. It will be the fifth major arena curling event in Camrose. The Rose City Curling Club also hosted the Continental Cup of Curling, 2008; the Alberta Scotties, Jan. 2011; the Boston Pizza Cup, Feb. 2012; and the Canada Cup of Curling, Dec. 2014. Camrose has impressed the Alberta Curling Federation with past success. The organizing committee is now in place and volunteer recruitment started this summer. The website at www.2016bostonpizzacup. com was launched and volunteers can register under the volunteer tab. You can also view how the other teams will qualify. The Alberta champion rink of Kevin Koe, Marc Kennedy, Brent Laing and Ben Hebert was the first team to qualify for the local event. Koe, with a different team, also won the last Boston Pizza Cup in Camrose. The organizing committee is still looking for a few sponsors for the event. The committee is also going to encourage school students to view the games through sponsor assistance. The entertainment venue has changed for this event. Daily entertainment, beverages and food will be available in the Rec Center after every draw.

TERRY FOX RUN HAS GOOD TURNOUT

The annual Terry Fox Run in the valley below the Stoney Creek Centre on Sept. 20 attracted 70 participants and raised approximately $7,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. The Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak raised $1,275, while Woody’s Happy Trails raised $1,010 and the Rotary Club of Camrose raised $625. Sponsors provided bio-degradable balloons that were released to start the run, as well as refreshments and water. At least two of the participants had taken part in the run for the last 20 years. The run marked the thirty-fifth anniversary of Terry’s Marathon of Hope.

Chamber of Commerce a runner-up for 2015 AMMY Award in Best in Class Innovation By Dan Jensen

The Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Centre (VIC) received an AMMY Award honourable mention at the Alberta Visitor Information Providers’ fall conference in Lethbridge Sept. 28 to 30. The VIC was nominated in the category of Best in Class Innovation. “The award was won by Banff Visitor Services, which went into the community and campgrounds with two Surface tablets to survey 8,701 people,” said Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson. “They were able to obtain new stats that will be used to enhance their visitor centre.”

The Camrose VIC was nominated for its success with the Be a Tourist In Your Own Town Promotion. “They listed every activity that we do with Be a Tourist In Your Own Town, which is a lot more than what other communities do, but again, the 8,701 comments Banff Visitor Services received was really valuable,” said Anderson. The AMMY Award for Best In Class Innovation recognizes projects, initiatives or improvements in the areas of marketing, communications and revenue generation, including successful VIC tactics, stakeholder communication, creative partnerships, community engagement and involvement, and innovative revenue generation ideas.

The Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce won an AMMY award in 2014 for Best in Class Visitor Services. “We have won seven AMMYs over the years,” said Anderson. “The condition for us going into the awards this year was that the nomination had to be in a category that we had never won in the past.” The Chamber will be seeing if it can have its 2016 budget increases so it can purchase tablets and do the same type of thing that was done in Banff. “One of those Surface Tablets costs about $300,” said Anderson. “On top of that you need the manpower to leave the centre to go and collect those stats to see how

impressed people are with your area. It would be great if we could go out to Miquelon Lake on a Friday night to let all those campers know what is going on in Camrose on the weekend.” Named in honour of Alberta’s official gemstone, Ammolite – one of the rarest and most unique gemstones on earth, the AMMY Award recognizes achievements at Alberta Visitor Information Centres in the categories of operational, service, facility and individual excellence. The awards are meant to challenge VICs to achieve high levels of excellence, instill a sense of pride in VIC staff and raise the profile of Alberta VICs as must stop destinations.

Culture celebrated on Main Street Taking it to the streets Camrose offered plenty to get excited about during the Alberta Culture Days. Clockwise from top left: local singer Jason Ernst, left, (guest drummer for the Barenaked Ladies) joined Robb Angus of the Dungarees on the Bailey Theatre stage in a great kick-off party; Camrose artist Devon Kraczla displayed his ink drawings; No F Chords excelled at Blue Rodeo covers; the Camrose Spirals drew the attention of the crowd with dazzling skipping; Lothar showed some magic on the streets; little Gabrielle Fisher Bach tried her hand at the hoops with Netti Spaghetti offering instruction; and centre Josephine Chetney knocked down tin cans with a potato with encouragement from CLBI student Kerry McCune.

Lesiglature Report By MLA Bruce Hinkley

As we approach the fall budget it is important to recognize that Alberta is not immune to the effects of the global economic situation caused by plunging oil prices. This has impacted many Albertans’ jobs and government revenues. As our government finalizes a provincial budget we move forward in a thoughtful, sensible way while listening to Albertans about how we can help them – individuals, families, businesses and communities – during this difficult time. Our budget will set a new and stable path forward for Alberta, focusing on three objectives. First, we will protect key public services like health care and education so they are there for you when you need them. Second, we will map out a plan to return to a balanced budget as quickly as possible. Finally, we will partner with businesses and innovators to grow and diversify our economy, creating mortgagepaying jobs for Albertans. I know we are facing some tough decisions; however, by making better choices about vital services, minding the public purse, and taking steps to strengthen the economy, Alberta will continue to prosper. Our government promised to make work fairer by improving the income of those who work for minimum wage. Work should pay enough so people can take care of their own families. Right now, too many people are going to work every day and still not able to make ends meet. When low income families earn more, they spend it immediately at local businesses, which helps grow the economy. Our government will continue to work with small businesses as we go forward in the coming years. As a first step, we are maintaining one of the lowest small business tax rates at just three per cent. A higher minimum wage will help: reduce poverty, improve fairness, improve quality of life for low-income Albertans, reduce the burden on social support programs such as food banks, reduce staff turnover and the cost of hiring, attract more youth into the workforce, increase the spending power of low-income earners, thus boosting the economy, improve employee satisfaction, and allow people to live and work with dignity. Alberta is the best place in Canada to start and build a business. We have the most competitive taxes, one of the highest productivity rates, and a skilled, educated and ambitious workforce. Five of 10 provinces have raised their minimum wage, which indicates a growing consensus that it is the right thing to do at this time.

David Robert Sederquest February 11, 1970 – October 7, 2010 I’ll hold you in my heart Until I hold you in Heaven. – Mom

Annie, also known as GG, was born on December 10, 1916. She was the firstborn of six children to Rose and Metro Kosovich on their homestead in Bittern Lake. Throughout her years, she became the mother of five generations. Annie and Mauritz became one in Holy Marriage, and later had one child, Bernard Allen. She always enjoyed the company of family and friends. You could never leave her house without having a cup of tea with her and, of course, flat bread. Her love of cooking, playing cards, floor curling, and Circle S Club were her favorite pastimes. She would always remember a family member’s or friend’s birthday or anniversary, and your day would never go by without a phone call or card acknowledging your special day. Annie is survived by her grandsons Darrell (Teresa) Aspell of Hinton, AB and Tim (Kerin) Aspell of St. John’s, Newfoundland; great-grandchildren Matthew (Brittney Ives), Michael (Coreen Byers), Megan (Garth Symes) and Makaylah; great-greatgrandchildren Axton, Karsyn, Jaydan and Nick; daughter-in-law Emily Aspell of Alberta Beach; and sister Olga Schweitzer of Edson. Special thanks to her dear friends Richard and Vera Lofgren. She was predeceased by her husband Mauritz; her son Bernard; one brother; and three sisters. She’ll be greatly missed by all family and friends. Your comfort and support are greatly appreciated and gratefully acknowledged. A funeral service for Annie was held on Monday, September 28, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. from Our Saviour Lutheran Church, Hay Lakes with Reverend Don Bolstad officiating. Interment has taken place in Our Saviour Lutheran Church Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Our Saviour Lutheran Church, Hay Lakes.

Knud Orla Jensen

Ralph Nicholas Weller

December 9, 1928 – September 26, 2015

September 21, 1929 – September 26, 2015

Knud Orla Jensen was born in Dybvad, Denmark on December 9, 1928 to Per and Krista Jensen as one of seven brothers and one sister. Growing up in Denmark, he was active in soccer and handball. In his 20s, he joined the Danish King’s Guard and was referred to by the commanding officer as the “Rugbrod Mann” for the rye bread he made. In the early 1950s, Knud came to Canada as a Danish baker knowing only how to say “I’m hungry” in English. Shortly after, he joined Ace Construction in the power distribution industry. This evolved into nearly a 40-year career with Calgary Power/TransAlta Utilities as a crew foreman. His supervisors and men described him as hard-working, thorough and fair, and someone whose hands never got cold. Many of the people he trained moved into higher positions, but Knud was content remaining foreman as he wanted to continue “working with the men.” In 1959, he married Louise Muriel Gray and they made their home in Edmonton. They had three sons Kirk, Kent and Craig. They moved to Camrose in 1964 and proudly lived there ever since. Knud was very active in the community. He was a member of the Camrose Lions Club, served as Cub and Scout leader, was on the executive and was president of Camrose Figure Skating Club, and was a strong supporter of the Battle River Community Foundation. In addition, he volunteered countless times in any of the activities in which his children or wife were involved. Spending time with his grandchildren was always a special joy and time he cherished. On many occasions, he was there to watch their soccer, hockey, volleyball, synchronized swimming, dance recitals and graduations. His eight grandchildren have described Grandpa as cool, funny, awesome, a trickster, someone who always had a treat (especially Timbits) and one with whom you never got in trouble. On September 26, 2015, he passed away peacefully and painlessly with family and friends at his side. He is survived by his nearly 15-year-long loving partner Hilda Trach and her family; and his children Kirk of Edmonton (Michael, Kira), Kent and Karen of Red Deer (Grant, Maggie, Eric, Kate), and Craig and Kim of Camrose (Casie, Kyna). He was predeceased by his parents, his wife Louise, and seven siblings. He will be forever remembered as a kind, gentle and thoughtful soul who loved his family, friends and especially shared laughter and time with his grandchildren. He will be missed by anyone who was fortunate enough to have met him. Funeral Services were held on Thursday, October 1, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. from Camrose United Church with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Battle River Community Foundation.

Harold Willman Rolseth April 5, 1953 – October 1, 2015 Harold Willman Rolseth of Edmonton, formerly of Edberg, passed away on Thursday, October 1, 2015 at the age of 62 years. Harold is survived by his brothers Brian (Anemone) of Edmonton and Marvin of Bashaw; nephews Kevin of Wetaskiwin and Casey (Rebecca) of Vancouver; niece Tanya (Bob Johnson) of Camrose; and grandnephews and grandnieces Ty, Blake, Keith, Ansley and Echo. He was predeceased by his parents Harold and Barbara Rolseth. A memorial gathering for Harold will be held on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at the Moose Hall in Camrose. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, 10985-124 Street NW, Edmonton, AB, T5M 0H9.

Ralph Nicholas Weller was born on September 21, 1929 in Spring Lake, AB. He passed away peacefully at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose on September 26, 2015, surrounded by his spectacularly amazing family of whom he was so proud. Dad was born and raised on a farm in the community of Spring Lake. He married Rose Klug on August 1, 1955. They farmed together and raised their family of six really good-looking children. Faith, family, friends and farming encompassed Dad’s life and brought him much joy. In June of this year, Mom and Dad moved to Camrose; they celebrated 60 years of marriage in August. Dad enjoyed curling, playing ball, golfing, camping and wintering in Arizona. He was a dedicated member of the Heisler Elks for over 60 years. Dad enjoyed a good game of cards and a rum (or two) and time with his neighbours and friends. But his children and grandchildren brought him the most joy! Dad always looked forward to having his family home! Dad was predeceased by his infant daughter Marie; son-inlaw Dave; his parents; and eight siblings. He leaves to mourn the love of his life, Rose; six children Jerry (Shara Lynn), Sandra (David), Susan (Rollie), Helen, Nancy (Keith) and Malcolm; many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and three sisters Rita Gould, Lauraine Badry and Theresa Brenneis. The family of Ralph would like to thank you for your prayers, kind words, thoughts, and support as we kept vigil at Dad’s bedside and now, as we mourn his loss. A Prayer Service was held on Tuesday September 29, 2015, at 7:00 p.m. from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church, Camrose. Mass of the Resurrection was celebrated on Wednesday September 30, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. from St. Martin Roman Catholic Church, Heisler, AB with Father Len Gartner as Celebrant. Inurnment has taken place in Spring Lake Cemetery, north of Heisler, AB. Donations made in Dad’s name will be gratefully accepted to the Mazankowski Heart Institute, the Stollery Children’s Hospital, Dave Jacobson Memorial Fund (of the Battle River Community Foundation), or to a charity of your choice.

Community Services general manager Ryan Poole told council at its Sept. 21 meeting that his department has extra money in his budget to employ the coordinator, Janine Carroll, for 20 to 30 hours a week until council sets the museum’s budget for 2016. “If we keep the existing programming going until Dec. 31 we can negotiate for 2016 what will be included in the (City) budget,” said Poole. Council approved the hiring of Carroll and two summer staff in the spring of this year to ensure the museum stayed open for the summer. “The current money runs out fairly soon,” said Poole. “In the next week or so we will be fairly close to the budget that we set. If we want to continue on and we want to have no void in service then we need to get going now with Janine and not wait until two months from now and then start up again.” Poole originally proposed proceeding on a trial basis with the museum by budgeting $47,000 to cover the coordinator’s position for 20 hours a week in the winter and 40 hours a week in the summer, plus two summer staff. “Operating the museum when it is busy you pretty much need a couple of helpers,” he said. “We could offset the cost of their positions with any extra revenue that comes in the way of grants, donations and the booking of school groups.”

Carroll said she is fine with the reduced hours she would be working in the winter. “I don’t believe a full-time person is needed through the winter,” she said. Poole noted that even though the museum receives fewer visitors in the winter, the actual structure and the artifacts still require care. “If there are no school groups one week, some hours may be put in towards working with the artifacts,” he said. “Janine has been doing a great job with working with the provincial museum. We had a case where a family wanted a violin back because it wasn’t being properly cared for, but with Janine’s help they (staff) were able to learn how to care for it properly. We are hoping that will convince the family to keep the violin at the museum.” Carroll said she and her staff have worked hard since the start of the summer to ensure the safety of the artifacts. “It is amazing the number of wonderful things that are brought into us weekly that have to be looked after,” she said. “When I got there a lot of things were just out of place.” Carroll said one of her major challenges as coordinator has been to reduce the $12,000 that was owing to the Canada Revenue Service in unpaid deductions. “We have managed to pay off $7,000 of that. Two thousand of that came from a fundraiser previous to my being there that was held downtown. We averaged about $700 a month for three months in the donations jar and that went towards it as well. It is getting down, but it is frustrating knowing that we can’t apply for any grants until the debt is taken care of.”

Mayor Norm Mayer said he is hoping to have a new museum society in place by the end of October that wouldn’t be burdened by the debt that is owing. “The end result has to be that if we are going to fund this, which we should be, we have to get control of the finances totally, not just what the City is putting in,” he said. “We have good volunteers at the museum, but I think we need to get a better handle on operations, which means having a new society.” Carroll plans to enact a fund development and a volunteer base to assist the museum with its application for future grants, develop annual fundraising events, market the museum on 25 to 30 different websites, and give more time and attention to the care and organization of artifacts. “While not directly a City of Camrose responsibility, care and organization of our priceless community artifacts needs to be considered,” said Carroll in a written report. “Organization and care have been inordinately lacking. They deserve more as do the citizens who donated them and future generations who will inherit them. The buildings and artifacts are incredible. They have the potential and should be a world class attraction.” Councillor Bill Sears praised Carroll for the work she has done at the museum since taking over as coordinator. “Thank you for the work you have done and the enthusiasm and success you have had with getting the museum open, getting it operating and making it successful,” said Sears. “I think everyone thinks you have done a very good job.”

Outdoor Gym opens on warm fall day By Murray Green

The Camrose Outdoor Gym opened Sept. 30 with eager local residents wanting to try out the new equipment. In a perfect setting overlooking the playground, parents can enjoy the gym while watching their children play in Jubilee Park. Working out in an outdoor gym setting also appeals to those who don’t like close quarters indoors. “The gym was made possible when the Camrose PCN received the 2014 Alberta Blue Cross Healthy Communities Grant. They worked closely with the City of Camrose and the Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition for the installation of the outdoor gym,” said Camrose PCN communications lead Colleen Lindholm. “Our committee would like to thank Mark Barrett from the City engineering department. He has been instrumental in lending city staff support throughout this project,” said Lucy Ernst of the Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition. “We also thank Joe’s Concrete for taking time out of their busy schedule to build the pad and thank Rotary Daybreak for sponsoring a piece of the equipment for us.” Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Bruce Hinkley enjoyed the use of the equipment. “I do have a passion for fitness and outdoor living. The important part is that it has to do with preventive health instead of looking for cures, so an outdoor facility like this offers a free opportunity any time of the day and any time of the year,” he said. “Anything you can do for a healthy lifestyle means you have to spend less time in a bed having to meet with your doctor. Healthy lifestyles is important and that is why this project is worthy of the funding.”

Camrose Outdoor Gym opened with a ribbon cutting on Sept. 30. From left to right, Chris Clarkson of the City of Camrose, MLA Bruce Hinkley, Mayor Norm Mayer, Dr. Chris Nichol, Jaclyn Spurell of Alberta Blue Cross, Lucy Ernst of Camrose Healthy Lifestyle Coalition and Colleen Lindholm of Camrose Primary Care Network.

Blue Cross is committed to helping people. “Alberta Blue Cross is extremely pleased to support this great project through the healthy communities grant program. We hope this new gym will be well used for Camrose and area residents. As a community based organization, we promote health and wellness in the communities we serve. This outdoor gym is the perfect example of the type of project we were hoping to support through this program,” said Jaclyn

Spurell, senior communications officer. “It is a wonderful facility and I think it will get plenty of use from the citizens of Camrose and keep us in the healthy living lifestyle. Thank you to all those who made it happen,” said City of Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer. A $50,000 grant from Blue Cross will assist in keeping local residents healthy. Outdoor gyms are gaining momentum, offering an alternative for people want-

ing to become more active and stay healthy. “Keeping active and exercising regularly is an important part in preventing different types of diseases and illnesses. Having this free and accessible and easy to use equipment will be an important addition to the community and important for us as we continue to work with our partners in making healthy lifestyle choices,” said Dr. Chris Nichol, PCN physician. “We look forward to you using this wonderful facility.”

The area in Jubilee Park beside the new playground will consist of exercise equipment to suit all needs and, instead of weights, uses one’s own body weight for resistance. The fitness equipment allows for a wide variety of flexibility, mobility, range-ofmotion, cardio and strengthening moves to provide a well-rounded workout. The Camrose Outdoor Gym is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, as well as accessible to all members of the community, including those in wheelchairs.

Prepare for the Oct. 19 federal election with voter identification By Murray Green

Avoid scrambling for your identification on election day by preparing in advance of voting on Monday, Oct. 19. Although the voter identification rules have remained largely unchanged since they were introduced in 2007, you are required to show ID proving who you are (name) and where you live (address) to register and vote in the Canadian election. Voters can show a single piece of ID if it has been government issued and has your photo, name and current address, such as a driver’s licence. A large majority of voters have this kind of ID. However, voters can show any two pieces of

ID from the list found at elections.ca. At least one of them must also have their current address (such as a health card and phone bill). The list includes many pieces, from library cards to personal cheques. If you don’t have a formal proof of address to show Elections Canada officials, they accept letters of confirmation of residence issued by the administrator of student residences, seniors’ residences, long-term care facilities, shelters, soup kitchens, First Nations bands or reserves, or Inuit local authorities. Voters who live in, or receive services from, one of these places can print the form letter from the website and have it signed by the administrator of the facility. With this letter, and a

second piece of ID with their name, they can still vote. If that is impossible, voters without a proof of address can show two pieces of ID with their name and ask another voter to take a oath attesting to their address. The person who is attesting must show proof of identity and address and be registered in the same polling division (such as a neighbour). This person can attest for only one voter. There is a little change since the last federal election. Due to feedback received by various elector groups, the chief electoral officer has added several new pieces to the list of accepted ID, including: a prescription pill bottle, a personal cheque, a credit union statement, a band membership card, a

Métis card and a card issued by an Inuit local authority. Bill C-23 made two changes that may have an impact on some voters. First, the voter information card can no longer be accepted as ID. Although not widely used, the voter information card was accepted as proof of address at a limited number of polls during the 2011 federal election. Second, voters without the right ID can no longer have someone vouch for both their name and address. Under the new rules, someone can attest to a voter’s address only – the voter still needs to prove their name with two pieces of ID. For more information, visit elections.ca or call 1-800-463-6868. Make sure your name

is on the list. Voter registration is just a click away. To cast a ballot, voters must be registered at their current address. Voters can use Elections Canada’s website elections. ca/register to check whether they are registered to vote, to update their address, or to register to vote. This is the first time that Elections Canada is offering online voter registration in a general election. The web service will be available 24/7 between now and Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. The benefit of checking your voter registration now is that you will receive a personalized voter information card telling you when and where to vote. And, you will enjoy faster service at the polls.

Augustana expands Sustainability 101 After a sold out summer pilot session, the University of Alberta Augustana Campus will be expanding Sustainability 101, a series of new professional education courses to address the need for leading edge skill development and training in rural and municipal settings. “Rural communities have a long history of creativity, but also of asking big questions of their citizens and their governments. We hope these courses can provide some additional capacity in that regard - these are the big challenges that rural communities now face”, explains Lars Hallström, Director of the Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities. The Governance for Sustainability pilot, offered this past July at full capacity, was the first in a series of one-day short courses designed to support the increased knowledge and skills that enhance sustainability in rural communities. Based upon a five-pillar model of sustainability (governance, economic, environmental, social, and cultural), these courses will provide community members, representatives of both non-government and business sectors, elected officials, and municipal administrators, with the opportunity to learn how to develop tangible skills that address the broader challenges faced by communities and organizations when planning for sustainability. The second course in the Sustainability 101 series, Economics & Sustainability, is scheduled for October 29, and will focus on developing an understanding of economic sustainability and organizational impact. Due to popular demand, Governance for Sustainability will be offered again on November 25, and will provide participants with key strategies and decision-making tools to manage sustainability in rural/provincial governments as well as in partnerships and business collaborations. The three remaining short courses in the series, Environmental Sustainability, Social Sustainability and Cultural Sustainability, will follow in early 2016. Sustainability 101 falls under the umbrella of the new Augustana Extended Education (AEE) program. Utilizing Augustana’s liberal arts and sciences faculty expertise through intensive, open enrollment short courses, seminars, and certificate programs, AEE programs are designed for professionals from every sector who seek to expand their skills at a top five Canadian university. Additional AEE programs are in development. To find out more about Augustana Extended Education, or to enroll in one or more of the courses in the Sustainability 101 series, visit www.augustana.ualberta.ca/extended_education.

Camrose Camera Club begins fall season By Laurel Nadon

Taking a photograph is similar to an artist creating a painting, says a charter member of the Camrose Camera Club. Doug Noden, who has held every position that there is to hold within the club since it was formed in 1959, said that photography is a creative outlet that he has enjoyed since he was in high school. The club was started a few years after he married, and he’s been back every year since. “I’m always learning. There’s always something new coming up, especially in the last few years going to digital,” Noden said. The club kicked off a new season with its first fall meeting on Sept. 1. From humble beginnings of six or seven members, the club has now grown to about 30 members. Ages of members in the past have ranged from teenagers to 90-year-olds. Club members take part in field trips, group slide presentations, workshops, troubleshooting and critiquing, interclub activities and judging competitions. They

discuss studio portraiture, backlighting, double exposures, using filters as well as lenses, and accessories. Past-president Richard Edwards, who has been taking photos since he was nineyears-old, said he enjoys the social aspect of the club.

“I enjoy the camaraderie, swapping ideas about photos and exploring things together. A lot of it is talking about how to take pictures. We’re a teaching club, so we try to teach other photographers to do what we do. I like art and photography is art.”

One of his favourite parts of the club is the meeting nights where members decide to pile into vehicles and go take pictures, which they call “drive by shootings”. Edwards worked at a photo studio where he learned lighting and composition, then went on to open his own studio and also worked as a pastor. He has also worked as a darkroom technician, newspaper reporter and photographer. He said that while he misses watching an image develop in a tray, he doesn’t miss the smell of darkroom chemicals. Noden said that club members used to do their own film processing before digital cameras became the norm. “We got to the point where you couldn’t buy the chemistry to do the developing,” Noden said, adding that he misses darkroom developing. “It was interesting. We used to develop colour slides and a couple of members did colour printing, or black and white.” The club has met in various locations over the years,

starting off in the health unit since one of the members was a health inspector. Each location had a darkroom available. Noden said that at first, getting a good digital camera was hit or miss, whereas now the technology is very good. Another change has been the software used to enhance photographs, and the club now has computers and laptops to share tips with each other on photo editing. The club holds its annual Spectacular Show in March, an annual camp out in June for members to get together and also has a display for the Camrose Art Walk each summer. The Spectacular is a fundraiser and also a project that the club takes to the community. The show is taken on the road at seniors’ lodges in Camrose such as Bethany Meadows and Rosealta. To learn more about joining the Camrose Camera Club, stop by at a meeting held every Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Chuck Maclean Arts Centre.

City receives MSI allocation By Dan Jensen

Doping, sport and fair play We are all excited to see superb sporting performances, but many of us are perturbed when we discover that some performers have cheated through the use of “performance-enhancing” agents. We know that highly sophisticated programs of intentional Dr Andrew Solomon, Consultant Physician production and acquisiDiabetes, Endocrinology tion of such agents reguand General (Internal) larly take place, and have Medicine, Affiliate recently seen prominent Hospital of the athletes being caught Cambridge and RoyalFree/UCL and stripped of their Medical Schools, gold medals for doping. United Kingdom As a consequence, the authorities looking to detect this activity have formed very effective anti-doping organizations. Some people involved in sport take ‘steroids,’ and a variety of hormones, with all thought given to increasing their chance of winning. When they get caught, the consequences can be massive, but perhaps more troubling is the fact that they don’t fully understand the health effects of what they’re taking. While these so-called “designer” steroids have been shown to improve muscle function, there are many hazards that go unrecognized. Research has shown that these designer steroids can certainly increase muscle size, muscle function, and affect the genes inside the muscle, thereby producing a more forceful contraction. There is a range of ways in which this research can be done. It can be performed using biopsies – samples – from muscle, or it can be done using studies involving cells. Cells can be exposed to any chosen “steroid,” including testosterone, for example, and results can be generated from images and detailed analysis of the effects. Methods similar to these are used in highly sophisticated anti-doping laboratories all over the world. However, taking any “designer” drugs such as these, whether or not they are similar to testosterone and other hormones, can have a variety of side effects that can last well beyond the time that they are being taken. There is increasing awareness that, in men, for example, fertility can be affected by excessive absorption of non-prescribed anabolic steroids. There can, in some cases, be recovery from such side effects, but the restoration to normality can take months, if not years. There are now guidelines published to help physicians detect and treat the adverse effects of anabolic steroids. There are a wide range of agents available to athletes, whether in local gyms or around Olympic events, and while the reasons that people take them may vary, it is clear that the consequences are often quite serious. We hope to be confident that on the track and field, we witness fair play, with high calibre athletes trained to put in their best performances; those who take additional performance-enhancing drugs are playing with fire, risking both career and health. We also need to consider our own complicity. Sports have become a lucrative industry and are often funded with public funds. We put intense pressure on our athletes to succeed and reward them mightily with fame and fortune when they are victorious. Given these immense pressures it’s no surprise that doping continues.

The City of Camrose will receive an allocation of $3,167,398 in Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) funding from the provincial government for 2015-16. The allocation includes $3,033,638 for capital and $133,762 for operating. The MSI program provides municipalities with stable and predictable funding and ensures they have

the resources to meet their infrastructure priorities. “MSI funding will reach almost $880 million in 201516,” said Minister of Municipal Affairs Deron Bilous in a letter to Mayor Norm Mayer. “This includes $497 million in MSI capital funding, $350 million in capital funding previously provided under the Basic Municipal Transportation Grant and $30 million in MSI operating funding.”

The City of Camrose received an additional funding allocation of $1,516,714 for the 2014-15 fiscal year this past March. Because it was allocated late in the 2014-15 fiscal year it will be added to the City’s 2015 MSI capital allocation of $3,033,636, for a total of $4,550,350, for program delivery and reporting purposes.

City hires local consultant to prepare Cultural Master Plan

Lisa Borin Miller will be working with all the entities in the arts community over the next several months to develop strategies that will enhance how they work together. By Dan Jensen

Sacred Arts co-owner Lisa Borin Miller began the process of developing a cultural master plan for the City of Camrose Sept. 23. Borin Miller will be working with all the entities in the arts communities over the next several months to develop strategies that will enhance ways they can work together. “We want her to develop for us a structure that will tie the different threads together,” said City councillor Agnes Hoveland, a member of the City of Camrose cultural ad hoc committee, along with councillors Bill Sears, PJ Stasko and Max Lindstrand. “Maybe we are already are doing things really well, we don’t know. We need the community to, number one, express exactly what they want to see encompassed in the definition of culture and arts within the community. Does it include any of the sports? Does it include the museums? We don’t know. We (committee members) have our ideas but we need the people of the community to define what they want. Borin Miller gained

experience in project management and consulting in Banff and at the Banff Centre for five years before moving to Camrose and is passionate about the arts. She has a Bachelor of Arts from Brock University and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. She’s also an instructor and a published artist. “She has sufficient experience in consulting within the arts, from a business perspective, and is someone we need here in Camrose,” said Hoveland. “We had other candidates after we put out a request for proposals, but she is the one we decided to go with.” Hoveland feels the cultural master plan needs to be community driven and community owned. “Our goal is to create a real dynamic collaborative arts community,” she said. “We don’t want to reinvent any wheels, we want to enhance what already exists.” The City of Camrose provided the framework for the cultural master plan with a cultural mapping project that showed where

all the cultural events are occurring within the city. “What we found was that a significant number of them (arts activities) occur on the 50 Street corridor from downtown to Augustana,” said Hoveland. “There are others that are scattered throughout the city but the heaviest concentration is in that 50 Street area.” The cultural master plan is expected to be presented to City council for review and adoption next April. “It is a short window relatively speaking for consultants, but we are quite positive that it can be delivered within this time frame,” said Hoveland. “We already have some of the pieces pulled together.” Borin-Miller is looking forward to working on the cultural master plan. “It is an honour to be chosen and to be asked,” she said. “I am really excited about getting to know more people in the arts community and the cultural community and to be able to hopefully contribute something to Camrose that can enhance those communities is a privilege.”

Ford Super Duty

Matt McLeod By Dan Jensen

If you demand a truck for the long haul the Ford 2015 F-Series Super Duty truck at Lamb Ford Sales is it. Ford Super Duties feature a second generation 6.7 litre Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel which boast 440 horsepower, up from 400 horsepower, and 860 lb.-ft. of torque. The turbocharger is larger than the previous design to expand airflow and capacity and increase power for greater hauling and towing performance, while the aluminum cylinder heads with precision dual water jackets reduce the weight and improve cooling. “The engine has been put through exhaustive durability testing, so that you can depend on it under the toughest conditions,” said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read. The state-of-the-art emissions system combines industry-proven technology and Forddesigned innovations to exceed the latest federal emissions standards. The E85-capable 6.2L gas V8 features a single overhead camshaft design and dual-equal variable

cam timing — advanced features that help optimize power throughout the speed range, as well as fuel efficiency. Large, heavy-duty pistons, intake and exhaust valves and a large engine bore diameter also help deliver best-in-class standard gas horsepower and powerful torque for effortless onthe-job performance — plus the fuel efficiency you need to grow your bottom line. The Ford TorqShift six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission has big, strong gears that take on extra torque, meaning you use fewer rpm because the torque converter locks up at lower speeds. You can rev this transmission hard and push it to extremes with confidence. The Super Duty offers a Live-Drive Power Takeoff provision. Because it is integrated into the transmission’s design, upfitting your truck at the shop happens a lot faster and with fewer headaches. The Live-Drive Power Takeoff utilizes an output gear linked directly to the engine crankshaft to power upfits anytime the engine is running, whether you’re in motion or at a stop — and lets you use appli-

cations like salt spreaders, highway tree-trimming equipment and more. And with the split-shaft capability, multiple accessories can be operated at the same time. The Super Duty offers maximum towing of 31,200 lbs. (14,152 kg) and payload capacity of up to 7,050 lbs. (3,197 kg). These are big numbers that will impact your bottom line for the better when the workday is done. Traction Control on Super Duty dual rear wheel models uses the engine to limit wheelspin by reducing engine throttle output. Super Duty single rear-wheel pickups come equipped with standard AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control. To help control your truck, it uses a combination of reduced engine power and selective wheel braking. When you corner too quickly or swerve to avoid an object, AdvanceTrac will automatically engage to help keep you under control. Solid frame The Super Duty frame is the foundation of its Built Ford Tough capability, designed to help minimize flexing and twisting while maximizing strength and torsional stiffness. It’s

constructed of fully boxed front rails, 6.7-mm-thick C-channel rails and cross members, plus additional gussets providing durability in high-stress areas. The class-exclusive* available integrated tailgate step with flip-up grab bar makes it easier to access your payload in any weather. This step stows inside the tailgate and can be easily accessed when needed but stays out of the way when it isn’t. With a 350-lb (159-kg) load capacity it can help you load even the most demanding cargo. Productivity Vo i c e - a c t i v a t e d SYNC®6 helps you control in-vehicle climate, communication, and entertainment while keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. Bluetooth audio lets you wirelessly control your entertainment with voice commands. Information screens display the information you want in the cluster panel and centre stack 911 Assist® can call for help in an emergency, even if you can’t. Configurations Ford Super Duty lets you configure your truck to your particular needs.

In fact, it offers the most configurations in its class – from the many choices of series, XL to Platinum, to the variety of wheelbases from the 137-inch Regular Cab all the way up to the 200-inch Crew Cab chassis cab. Seats include Ford “active comfort” contour design and a standard manual lumbar support for the driver A tilting/telescoping steering wheel is standard in every Super Duty. The available LCD productivity screen displays important operating information and other useful data in easy-to-use menus. Versatile and flexible first and second row underseat storage is available (depending on model/seat configuration). The large and spacious centre console option provides lockable storage space configurable in over 70 ways; hang files, stow a laptop, even charge gadgets with one of two 12-volt power points or the available 110V/150W power inverter. You can see the 2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks at Lamb Ford Sales on Highway 13 East Camrose. Phone 780-672-2411 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Teen driver safety Alberta Health Services

Driving is a risky experience for all of us but it is most risky for teenagers in their first year of unsupervised driving. Car crashes are the leading cause of death among teens in Alberta. Not all risk is bad; risk is a necessary part of healthy teen development. It is important that teens take Smart Risks when driving. Encourage your teen to look first. This means being prepared to drive, every time, by checking road conditions and mapping routes before they get into their car. It is also important to check tires, adjust seats and rear-view mirrors before driving. Remind your teen to buckle up, no matter how short the drive. It is the law. Teens can get trained by taking a driver’s education course from an unbiased expert who has years of experience teaching new drivers. Enforce with your teen that it is the law to drive sober. Set a rule against drinking and driving. Aside from encouraging your teen to take smart risks when driving, there are many things you can do to help keep your teen safe. Set a good example behind the wheel by modeling the smart risk behaviours above. Always wear your seatbelt, never speed and be respectful of other drivers. In addition to driver’s education, teach your teen how to drive under your supervision in low risk conditions before moving up to more risky situations. Stay informed about Alberta’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) laws and start a conversation with your teen about it.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The University of Alberta, Augustana Campus Vikings golf team placed second in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference tournament held at the Camrose Golf Course on Sept. 19 and 20. The Vikings team of coach Bill Penny, Michael Harrison, Chase Martin, Darion Geddes, Braxton Fox, Cole Feth and assistant coach Neil Hepburn helped the team achieve its highest finish in the three years the golf program has been offered by Augustana.

The University of Alberta Augustana Vikings golf team placed third at the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference Open South Regional Tournament in Innisfail Sept. 26 and 27. Camrose golfer Michael Harrison shot a 151 (74-77) to finish tied for third as he led the Vikings in the team standings. Cole Feth, also from Camrose, fired rounds of 76 and 79 to score 155 and place seventh. Braxton Fox made the top 10 with a 156 and scores of 79 and 77. Darion Geddes shot an 81 and 83 for a 164 and 15th place to round out the top four. Chase Martin had a 165, Brayden Clarkson a 172, Namir Moussa a 197 and Brandon Gacek a 201 in the cool conditions. Feth won the ACAC Open North Regional Tournament and led the University of Alberta Augustana Vikings to a second place team finish at the Camrose Golf Course Sept. 19 and 20. Feth shot rounds 71 and 72 to record the low score of 143. He edged out Grant MacEwan golfer Nick Vandermey, who fired a 144 over the two days. MacEwan won the team event with four golfers recording a score of 580. Augustana, which never finished higher than fourth in a team event, shot 585 to finish just five strokes back of the strong golfing program. Red Deer came in third. The Vikings had eight members of the men’s team and a one from the women’s side enter the tourney. The top four scores count towards the team event. Besides Feth securing the win with a 143, Martin shot a 146, Harrison counted a 147 and Fox fired a 149. Geddes, as the fifth man, and Clarkson, both shot a 156. Moussa, Gacek and female golfer Darcie Benoit also gained some valuable experience at the college level. Coach Bill Penny and assistant coach Neil Hepburn put together a solid team this year. Although the team didn’t qualify for nationals last year, Fox advanced to the Canadian finals as an individual in the singles’ event. The ACAC championships were held Oct. 3 and 4 at the Desert Blume Golf Club in Medicine Hat. The nationals are slated for Oct. 13 to 16 at the Chilliwack Golf Club in British Columbia.

Super Arctic Cat Rebates

By Dan Jensen

The Telus Care-a-Van team spent a week supporting the community this past summer. The team began its stay by delivering Telus care packages to 150 loyal customers and handing out free coffee and treats at Fiona’s Coffee and Gifts. “For every bird that was signed at Fiona’s we (Telus) donated $10 to Habitat for Humanity Camrose,” said Care-a-Van team member David Piotto. “If they went on Facebook and liked the Camrose Telus post we donated another $5.” The team also spent a few hours laying sod in back yards at a couple of Habitat for Humanity homes and organizing materials at Habitat for Humanity ReStore. The week concluded with the Care a Van team hosting a community barbecue and presenting a cheque for $5,000 on behalf of Telus to Habitat for Humanity executive director Cody McCarroll. Telus’ philosophy is to give back to the communities in which it operates. “We want people to expect more from their Telco companies,” said Piotto. “We want them to know that if they have any issues or concerns with Telus, or any questions, that we are always here for them. As every minute goes by we are just trying to increase our customer service in all parts of Canada, wherever Telus reaches.” The Telus Care-a-Van team has been on the road for the last three months, visiting 11 different communities in Alberta and B.C. “We pair with a different organization or charity within every community,” said Piotto. “We were in Cranbrook, B.C. before coming to Camrose where we assisted the Big Brothers and Big Sisters.

Female arrested for causing problems at Camrose business Police conducted a vehicle stop and noted the male driver and lone occupant of the vehicle to show signs of alcohol impairment. The male was arrested and provided two samples of his breath which resulted in

readings of 170 and 180 mg per cent, which is well over double the legal limit. The male was charged with Impaired Driving and over 80 mg per cent and released on a promise to appear in court.

Police received a complaint that a female was causing problems at a local business in Camrose. Members attended the business and located a female who was extremely uncooperative and acting uncontrol-

lable. As the members approached the female she became combative and damaged property belonging to the business. The female then assaulted one of the members and uttered threats to kill

them. The female was placed in handcuffs and transported the Camrose Police Service, where she was charged with Assault a Police Officer, Resist Arrest, Mischief and Uttering Threats.

Kodiaks back on winning side of ledger By Murray Green

After having their winning streak snapped at five games the Camrose Kodiaks began a new one with a 5-3 win over the Calgary Canucks on Sept. 27. Liam Motley launched the Camrose offence by scoring a power play marker two minutes into the game and added an assist to the second goal netted by captain Cam Gotaas. The Canucks scared Camrose by taking a 3-2 lead into the second intermission. However, Camrose responded with three tallies to take the two points. “We had another slow start. Coach (Boris Rybalka) put in the right systems and we were able to fight our way back and get the win that night,” said forward Nelson Gadoury. “As soon as practice starts we have to be ready to go; same goes for games. When the pre-game warm-up starts we have to be flying right off the bat. In rinks like that where there are not a lot of people to bring up the atmosphere you have to make your own through body checks and get into it right away.” Angus Scott, Gadoury and Tanner Younghans supplied single markers in the one-sided third frame. The veteran player is off to another good start to the season. “I guess you could say that. I’m playing with some good young players right now and have been playing with everybody, so they have been making my job pretty easy,” said Gadoury. Camrose out shot the Canucks 43-23 and 19-5 in the third period. Goalie Brodan Salmond stopped 20 of the 23 shots he faced. Gadoury took the summer off to ponder his future.

The Fort McMurray Oil Barons netminder can only watch as the puck eludes him in a game agaisnt the Camrose Kodiaks. The next home game for the Kodiaks is against the Okotoks Oilers on Oct. 10 in the EnCana Arena.

“I really didn’t know what to do as far as hockey. I was thinking it was time to move to the next stage of my life and get a job. But, when it came down to it, I gave Boris a call and asked if I could come back,” he added. “He said as long as I get back in shape, so that is what I have been trying to do here.” Gadoury has one goal in mind after making the decision to come back. “I want to win a championship, for sure. We have a great group of guys here and have a good opportunity to do that. As long as we follow what coach says and put in the work, the team can do

some good things this year,” he said. “Our team is bigger and more physical this year. Our back end is bigger. Gora (Patrick) is back and Salmond is a good young goalie, so we have all the keys right now. We know what Gora can do. He had a great stint with us last year before going to the WHL. We are sad for him that he is back, but happy that he is back with us.” The Kodiaks’ streak was stopped by the Okotoks Oilers in a close 2-1 contest, Sept. 26. Okotoks came out of the gate hard and built up a 2-0 lead in the opening period. Then they hung on in the defensive battle.

“We came out pretty flat. It was our first long road trip for these guys. We gave them two early goals and we couldn’t really recover from that,” said Gadoury. Braeden Salverda connected on a power play in the second frame to close the gap, but Okotoks received strong goaltending from Riley Morris. Goalie Patrick Gora turned away 18 of 20 shots, while Camrose recorded 31 shots. “We don’t want to have a lot of 5-3 games. The coaches have been preaching d-zone coverage and that is what we are going to work on. I definitely know we can bring

our goals against down,” Gadoury said. “The last two periods against Okotoks were our best defensive hockey. We were physical, all of us skating, and ended up with a lot of shots. We just have to bury them.” Defenceman Stefan Danielson’s shoot out goal was the difference in the 3-2 victory over the Drayton Valley Thunder, Sept. 24. After Drayton Valley netted a power play marker, Camrose fought back with an extra man tally by veteran Nelson Gadoury in the first period. In the second, Trevor Costello put the Kodiaks in front, but a late goal by the Thunder was the equalizer. Both teams failed to find the back of the net in the third and overtime periods, forcing a shoot out. Gora made 25 out of 27 saves to post his first win in the Camrose net this season. The Kodiaks want to focus on playing hard in each game. “We may have taken Okotoks lightly, then the Canucks lightly, and they could have beaten us too. We just have to come out every night and think we are playing the top team in the league. Every night we want two points and that is the end goal.” Bear facts

The Kodiaks are off on a two game road trip with stops in Canmore to play the Eagles on Oct. 9 and back in Okotoks on Oct. 10. Camrose will be looking for revenge after the Oilers snapped the winning streak. The Kodiaks host Okotoks on Oct. 16 in the next home game at 7 p.m. in the EnCana Arena. The Whitecourt Wolverines provide the opposition on Oct. 17 with the same start time.

Vikings soccer team runs into league’s top scorer The Vikings women’s team lost a 5-0 game to NAIT as they ran into red hot Kayla Michaels, who scored four goals Sept. 26. She leads the league with 10 goals in five games. It was a long ride home from Grande Prairie for the Augustana Vikings soccer teams on Sept. 20. Although the women’s and men’s clubs played well, they didn’t earn a point in four games. The women’s team dropped 1-0 and 2-1 games with Jenya Rust scoring the only tally for the Vikings. Ashley Chaput was in goal for both Augustana games. The Vikings’ men’s squad lost 5-1 to the NAIT Ooks. Dillon Lehman collected the tally for the Vikings. Augustana suffered the same fate as the women at the hands of the Wolves. They lost 1-0 and 2-1 with Adam McKenzie garnering the only marker for Augus-

Campbells add to arts centre endowment fund By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents Corinne and Wes Campbell donated $10,000 to the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre endowment fund Sept. 10. “We are grateful for their support,” said Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger, who accepted the cheque along with Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer. “They are setting a wonderful example with their generosity for others as we continue to raise money for the endowment.” The fund, created at the time of the capital campaign, will provide support for the performing arts centre in perpetuity. “If we draw down the money from the Campbells at four per cent that will provide Nick (theatre manager Beach) and his staff $400 per year to put towards the cost of operating this facility,” said Dr. Berger. The Campbells consider themselves to be fortunate to be in a position that they can make a sizeable donations to the community in which they live. “I just felt this was something that we should do,” said Wes, who is the owner of Campbell McLennan Chrysler in Killam. “We made a donation to the Camrose Community Centre as well.” The Campbells have been vigorous supporters of the arts since their daughter, Carley, got involved in dancing at the age of four. “She was involved with About Time Productions for years and she did many plays that were at the United Church,” said Corinne. “She

played the lead role when they did Annie and I remember being there, as a parent, helping to set up chairs.” Carley is currently performing with Jubilations Dinner Theatre in Edmonton. “It would be exciting to see her some day come back to Camrose to perform on the stage here, but that decision will ultimately be up to her,” said Wes. The Campbells believe

the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre is tremendous asset for Camrose that will encourage more young people to explore their passion. “When Carley was a dancer we always had to travel out of town to the festivals and competitions,” said Corinne. “The fact that Camrose now has a performing arts centre like this

is a real benefit to Camrose youth, not to mention the restaurants and hotels that will be experiencing the spin off effects.” Corinne has already attended a couple of performances at the centre. “I saw Wizard of Oz and it was just fabulous,” she said. A partnership between the City of Camrose, Camrose County and the University of Alberta’s Augus-

tana Campus, the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre is home to the 584-seat, state of the art Cargill Theatre and the Mayer Family Community Hall. Among its many sustainability features are the largest integrated photovoltaic array in Canada and the largest second-generation LED stage lighting system in the world.

Camrose Probus Club celebrates 20th anniversary By Murray Green

The Probus Club of Camrose was formed in 1995 and has provided 20 years of service to the community. Alberta director for the national executive Margaret McKenzie presented Camrose president Alex Oliver with a framed certificate of congratulation signed by her and the national president. “This certificate is in recognition of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Charter #52 (Sept. 25, 1995). We express our appreciation of your service to a very important segment of the people of Camrose,” McKenzie said. “We wish you continued success in the provision of opportunity through fellowship of your club.” The first meeting of the fall also brought new members and a new executive. “A year ago I came here for a very long talk and it is good to be back. Probus started in Canada in 1987. Now we have 235 clubs and almost 36,000 members,” said McKenzie. “The Alberta

position on the board was created four years ago and I took over in 2014.” The constitution was made by the national board. Provincials create bylaws.

“My challenge is the distance between clubs,” said McKenzie. “I try to meet with as many clubs as possible and spread myself thin. Since I am originally from

Australia, I attend meeting there as well and they want to know what is happening with Probus Canada. Traveling is one of the benefits of Probus. Whereever you

go, you get to meet fellow Probus members and learn about the community. We are retired, so travel is what we do. That’s why we have other executive and board members.” Probus has given McKenzie the opportunity to explore things she didn’t have time for before. “I find that the most rewarding experience is representing Alberta,” she said. The executive for 201516 includes president Alex Oliver, treasurer Sharon Anderson and secretary Bonnie Oliver. The vice-president position is currently vacant. Jim Anderson heads up membership. Dorothy Felgate and Rose-Marie Kerr serve on special committees. Members meet every third Tuesday of the month except July and August at 9:30 a.m., usually at the Norsemen Inn. For more information contact Alex Oliver at 780679-5617 or Jim Anderson, membership, at 780672-5752.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough

Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest

Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price

The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible

Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

The City of Camrose is implementing an Area Structure Plan (ASP) requirement for all undeveloped areas in the City (excluding undeveloped internal areas and some ongoing subdivisions). An ASP is a long-term statutory plan that provides a detailed framework for future development of a parcel of land. Though ASPs are a general statement about future land uses in a new area, developers must thoroughly research their development plans and incorporate adequate servicing into the plan. Developers or landowners must demonstrate to Council the impact their proposals will have on the existing areas, on neighbouring communities, and on other parts of Camrose. You can have a say too! ASPs are presented to Council before being adopted by Bylaw. This is when community residents can become involved and share their thoughts and ideas. Below is a map showing potential areas for future ASPs. New Area Structure Plans will always be advertised for public input. To find out more information, contact Francisca Karl, Long-Range Planner at the City of Camrose. Phone 780672-4426 or email fkarl@ camrose.ca

Saving lives during Operation Impact October 9 to 12 will mark Operation Impact, a national campaign to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world. This special weekend is a police initiative designed to remind people that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways. Educating the public on safe driving practices is a priority. The focus will be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and other road users most at risk: impaired driving, seat belt use, and all aspects related to aggressive and distracted driving. All enforcement agencies across the country have been invited to participate. “The deaths, pain and broken hearts that result from carelessness behind the wheel can be prevented,” says Cst. Adam Belanger. Police agencies across the country are collaborating on this project because they have seen more than enough of that, and because they know that the involvement of the driving public is essential to achieve safer streets and highways.” This initiative has been strategically chosen, as it is a significant long weekend. More people are travelling and traffic crashes are more frequent. Vehicle collisions in Camrose over the last ten months have resulted in one traffic death and 17 injuries. These are just numbers but they represent moms, dads, sisters, brothers, loved ones, coworkers and neighbours. It is unacceptable. That is why, in support of Operation Impact, the Camrose Police Service is focusing on specific driving patterns through specific enforcement actions. These include, but are not limited to, impaired driving, seatbelts, distracted driving, speeding, following too close, unsafe lane changes, careless driving and other aggressive driving habits. Operation Impact is sponsored by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) and member agencies of the CACP traffic committee from across Canada in support of Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2015, which has the goal of making Canada’s roads the safest in the world by 2015. “Dedicated to improving public safety on our roadways.”

Battle River Community Foundation director Marshall Wideman presented Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute president Harold Rust with $1,400 to assist the learning facility. By Murray Green

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $1,400 to the Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute. The grant was awarded from income earned by the Petra and Cliff Brager Fund and the Jean and Don Green Fund. Both families designate CLBI to benefit from those funds. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta which benefit communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations which have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations in accordance with the wishes of the donors. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $2,900,000 to support community programs such as the Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute.

There’s a lot to celebrate in

Battle River School Division Battle River School Division is Growing and Learning As they grow through Kindergarten to Grade 12, the children of Battle River School Division learn skills to help them succeed in school, in work and in life. They study in classrooms, on sports fields and in fine art venues, in their communities and around the world.

Tofield School drama production

From the very youngest Early Learning Program participants to those finishing high school, students are encouraged to be active and involved in their learning; develop characteristics that will make them good citizens; nurture their health and their positive relationships with others; and work hard to achieve their best academic results.

The photos on this page highlight a small sample of activities from the 2014-2015 school year. In addition to what you see here is a long list of occasions upon which students treated each other with kindness, built positive relationships with others, found new ways to show what they know and achieved success in something with which they had previously struggled.

our school division is accountable to the citizens in the communities we serve. We hope this update will provide a “snapshot” of our year’s activities.

Growing, learning through times of

The 2014-2015 school year saw the opening of a brand new school building in Bawlf, to replace an outdated facility. The new state-of-the-art facility includes flexible learning spaces and environmentally friendly design components.

It took many pairs of scissors to cut the ribbon for the new Bawlf school.

Battle River, along with most other school divisions in Alberta, tested Alberta Education’s proposed new Student Learning Assessment (SLA) for Grade 3 students in the fall of 2014. The pilot presented a number of implementation challenges for schools and a revised, improved pilot SLA is being offered in the fall of 2015. After seeking public input and undergoing an extensive recruitment process, the BRSD Board of Trustees selected Rita Marler as the new Superintendent of Schools, effective January of 2015. The school division also welcomed representative parents and students to join them in February for a day of strategic planning, to provide input that would help ensure all stakeholder groups are moving in the same direction.

Parents and students joined school and division leaders to talk about the future.

Students across Battle River and around Alberta took the opportunity, along with community members, to meet candidates, learn more about them and then vote in Alberta’s provincial election in the spring of 2015. The Student Vote tallies almost exactly matched the actual election outcome. BRSD partnered with community agencies to host election forums in two ridings which overlap with the school division. As the 2014-2015 school year drew to a close, Alberta Education announced that funding reductions proposed by the previous government had been overturned.

BRSD hosted two candidate forums prior to the spring provincial election.

Around and around we go! Nearly 4000 students ride the school bus in Battle River. Our busses travel approximately 12,000 km each and every school day. That’s about 2,300,000 km per year or more than 59 trips around the world!

Athletes from across Alberta travelled to Camrose for the 2015 Francophone Games

Battle River was honoured to have the Alberta Francophone Games make use of school facilities in May of 2015, with over 300 athletes from across the province gathering together in Camrose to celebrate Francophone heritage through sport and culture.

g and celebrating change Looking ahead . . . • BRSD kicked off the 2015-16 school year by celebrating the groundbreaking for a replacement school in Bashaw. The Class of 2016-2017 should be the first graduates from the new building. (photo above) • French Immersion has been available in Battle River since 2003. The first students began in Kindergarten or Grade 1 and the program has grown one grade each year, along with the students. The spring of 2016 will mark the first-ever French Immersion Program graduation.

Laura Swanson, Vice Principal of Charlie Killam School, was recognized by the Council of School Leadership for her outstanding work in school administration.

• Student numbers are on the rise! After several years of enrollment challenges, Battle River School Division is experiencing a growth in student numbers, especially at the lower grade levels. This bodes well for the future of our rural schools and communities! The Learning Together Program celebrated its 10th anniversary in the spring of 2015. This special program has helped 80 young mothers complete their high school diploma during its decade of existence. These two young ladies were babies when their moms joined the school.

• There is a significant workforce transition underway in our school division, as a high number of teachers and school administrators are reaching retirement age. BRSD welcomed more than 60 new teachers to the division in 2014-2015 and has another large group of newcomers on staff for 2015-2016. • BRSD wants to know what you think! There will be surveys on various topics of interest to parents (from school calendars to school configurations) available this year. Your input is important – please watch for opportunities to provide your comments.

We’re turning

20!

Three individuals / organizations which have made significant contributions to Battle River School Division were recognized by the Board of Trustees in the spring of 2015, as the recipients of the first-ever Friends of Battle River award. Bob Coutts of Forestburg was acknowledged for his ongoing personal and business support of Forestburg School; the Gregg Shute Tribute Group was recognized for their donations to music programs at a variety of schools; and the Battle River Community Foundation was celebrated for 20 years of support in providing scholarships, grants and more to schools throughout BRSD.

2015 marks 20 years since school jurisdictions across Alberta were regionalized. In 1995 Battle River School Division was formed from the former jurisdictions of Beaver County, Camrose County, Camrose School District and Flagstaff County.

That amount includes the cost of ensuring schools have adequate staff, that there are specialized programs available in order to meet student needs and that our technology and learning resources are continually updated.

Administration – 3.13%

Almost another 2% (1.81%) of spending was directed to providing student supports such as Family School Liaison or Children’s Mental Health services, day care services for the children of students in the school division’s young mother’s program; as well as for promoting our schools and programs internationally.
