immediately upon construction completion. “We’re going to be offering tours to people who want to see the suites once the construction people move out, and will be moving people in after we do some familiarization with the staff.” The Rosealta expansion project has a total price tag of $7 million. The second phase, which will be completed in the new year, will include the installation of a new sprinkler system. The lodge expansion has long been a priority of the Camrose and Area Lodge Authority, which includes representatives from The Bethany Group, Camrose City and County councils and the Town of Bashaw. “It has been a long process,” said Beesley. “When we started planning many, many years ago the future of the lodges what became clear was that the existing lodges were not going to be sustainable in the future.

The Rosealta Lodge expansion project is nearing completion. “Some of the suites are close to being done and most of what is left is the finishing work,” said Denis Beesley, chief executive officer and president of The Bethany Group, which is managing the project on behalf of the provincial government. “It is our goal to have everything wrapped up by the end of the year.” The project is creating 40 new spaces, 20 of which will be one bedroom units, and 20 of which will be what The Bethany Group refers to as “standard lodge rooms” with small kitchen areas. “The addition will make it so that couples who need lodge services will be able to stay together,” said Beesley. “Quite often, when it comes to lodges, the husband and wife are in two separate rooms.” The new spaces should be welcoming residents almost

Lodge was built in 1966 and we knew that it wasn’t going to be suitable for seniors in the future.” The Camrose and Area Lodge Authority closed Stoney Creek Lodge in the spring and moved the remaining residents to other accommodation. “We worked with them in terms of getting places until we had the space in Rosealta,” said Beesley. “The lodge authority agreed to pay their rent until spaces opened up at Rosealta.” The Rosealta expansion is being funded entirely by the federal and provincial governments. “We were fortunate in that we were able to get in on government programs early enough so that we were able to receive 100 per cent funding,” said Beesley. “Some of the other foundations that are looking to build or expand are going to have to pay between 20 or 30 per cent of the total cost, which could be as much as $2 million.”

Gold medalist visits Camrose By Murray Green

Former Canadian Olympian athlete Waneek Horn-Miller stopped in Camrose on Sept. 9 to visit Sole City Shoes staff to talk about her involvement as an ambassador for Manitobah Mukluks Canada. Manitobah Mukluks combines thousands of years of tradition with moder n production techniques to offer a collection that is affordable, technical and beautiful. The Pan American gold medalist was part of the women's water polo team that captured the nation. She is the daughter of former model and First Nations activist KahnTineta Horn. Horn-Miller is from the Kahnawake Mohawk territory, located on the south shore of Montreal. Born the third of four daughters, she follows

a high standard set by her mother and sisters. Her eldest sister, Dr. Ojistoh Horn, is the first female Mohawk medical doctor from Kahnawake; her sister Kahente has a PhD in Anthropology from Concordia University and her little sister, Kaniehtiio, is a Gemini nominated actor. Waneek was at the front lines during the 1990 Oka crisis and was stabbed by a Canadian soldier’s bayonet. She used this life-changing experience to fuel her dreams of competing at the Olympics. Ten years later, this dream became a reality when she co-captained the Canadian Women’s water polo team at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She has traveled throughout Canada and the United States speaking about her experiences both

in and out of sports. She is currently working with Manitobah Mukluks as their brand ambassador and simultaneously works in her community to help young people get involved in sport. She wants to

make a difference locally while sharing her culture internationally. Helping others achieve balance in all aspects of their lives is one way that she plans on doing so. "I know what (sport)

can do for young women and young men," said HornMiller, 39, who served as Team Canada’s assistant chef de mission for the games held in Toronto this summer.

Federal leaders share vision for small business Federal leaders shared their vision for Canada’s small businesses with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). Leaders were issued a survey at the beginning of the campaign, asking a series of questions on the small business community’s top priorities, including the future of the Canada Pension Plan, the country’s skilled labour shortage, and the tax and red tape burdens.

“Small business issues are Canada’s issues,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly. “As the country’s top employers and the drivers of the economy, it is more important than ever that parties address small business priorities. We are thrilled that the leaders from all major parties have made substantive responses to the top issues for Canada’s small businesses. This information will help small business owners make an informed decision on Election Day.”

Kelly is particularly pleased that all four national parties have committed to reducing the small business tax from 11 to nine per cent. Other highlights from the leaders’ survey include: The Conservative Party won’t raise mandatory Canada Pension Plan premiums. The Green Party proposes Think Small First legislation that will reduce the impact of red tape on small business.

The Liberal Party has outlined provisions to boost training in the workforce and address labour shortages. The New Democratic Party will accelerate the small business tax reduction by two years. As a strictly non-partisan organization, CFIB is publishing the leaders’ full, unedited responses to the small business community’s questions. In addition to the surveys, CFIB invited leaders

from all of the major parties to share their vision for Canada’s small business community in a sit-down question and answer session with CFIB president Dan Kelly. Stephen Harper and Elizabeth May have already recorded interviews, and CFIB was looking forward to sitting down with the other leaders as the campaign progressed. Full survey results and the first video questions and answers are available on CFIB’s federal election page.

City arterials and collectors receive failing grade By Dan Jensen

Just over 55 (55.4) per cent of Camrose arterial and collector roads have a pavement condition index (PCI) rating of poor or very poor according to a report presented to Committee of the Whole Council Oct. 5. “They are not in great shape,” said City director of finance Grant Egerdie, pointing to a map showing that the major collectors and arteries, on a scale of where 100 is the top mark, have a PCI rating of 40 or less. “They are used more (than the local roads) and they have suffered quite a bit of wear and tear.” The average PCI rating for all the roads in Camrose is 68, which puts them in the “fair” category. “The average of all the roads was brought up by the local roads,” said Egerdie. “Just to give you an idea, 7.3 per cent of the local roads are poor to very poor.” In comparison, most other communities in Alberta have road conditions of fair, with a PCI rating between 70 and 85. City superintendent of roads and right of way Ray Leiren told council it has fallen behind continually on arterials and collectors for the last 10 to 15 years. “Just being a resident of Camrose we haven’t been putting money into rehab,” he said. “We need some money on the reconstruction end and it will take some time to get us going on a positive line.” Leiren noted that the past winter was a bad one for potholes and road deterioration because of the freeze and thaw cycles, and that City crews worked hard this past summer to get ready for the winter that is upcoming. “If we have another winter like that we want to make it (the problems) less aggressive,” he said. Egerdie explained that spending $3 million a year on roads would raise the Camrose PCI rating to 77 by the end of 2035 and bring it in line with other municipalities.

“We spend $1.8 million on roads now and we continue to do that our PCI will go down,” he said. “If we put in $2 million it will go down but not nearly as fast. Spending $2.5 million will be basically the same, but instead of the PCI rating being 68 it will be 66.” The City’s plan for the next two years is to do a lot more of what it calls “mill and fill.” “We will mill the road down and do another couple of lifts on top of it,” said Egerdie. “That will clean up some of it. We have identified some areas that need full reconstruction as well.” The City of Camrose develops its road rehab strategies by looking at the amount of stress the road is under and the amount of traffic it carries. “If a road starts to get down to where you need to do something you might do a surface treatment, an overlay and then another surface treatment,” said Egerdie. “That multiple rehabilitation is what you do with all the roads. You don’t just fix it once you fix it with different rehab treatments. When you look at any one road you have to look at the costs of surface treatment versus overlay and do all those optimizations. You don’t just go out and say that one is really rough. You say that one is rough, this is the use that is under, and this is the cost of different rehabilitation or treatment methods. Then you can come up with the timing for each segment of the roads. Basically the one with the lowest asset value comes first.” City manager Malcolm Boyd proposed that the City start gathering data on a more consistent routine basis so that it can start tracking conditions and justify the work that is being done. “We have to set up a program to continue monitoring going forward,” he said. Egerdie said the City has had difficulty in the

The freeze/thaw cycles of last winter kept many City of Camrose employees fixing potholes. They worked hard this past summer to make sure the situation doesn’t isn’t as bad for this coming season.

past gathering geotechnical data about the conditions under the roadway. “We have done some geotechnical gathering where we drill down to get a core sample and see what is in there. We have also spoken to a number of people about the clay situation. Before we make any adjustment to what we are doing we want to be very confident that it is required.” Egerdie agreed with Leiren that the past winter was a bad one for the roads. “A lot of people will say that it wasn’t that bad a winter because we only had two ten day spurts of minus 30. That is actually terrible

because if it went down to minus 30 and then came up it would be much better than going up and down. That fluctuation allows moisture to come in and when it (moisture) hits a crack then it is open and starts to make some damage.” Leiren told council that the City still hasn’t finished all the work on Grand Drive. “We got down to the bridge from 58 Street, and if you drive the last part of to 48 Avenue you will find it is a little rougher. What we have done is fix it so that next winter we don’t have the potholes that are one foot deep and one

foot wide. This was just a surface repair, it wasn’t for driveability. It was to stop it from deteriorating even more in the winter.” The Camrose roadway assessment was completed in May of this year by Tetra Tech EBA using specialized equipment that took videos and readings of the asphalt to give the City a better idea of the kinds of cracking that exist, as well as the locations of potholes and other failures. “All paved surfaces were assessed in 50 metre intervals,” said Egerdie. The City of Camrose has a paved roadway network of 151.7 centre-line kilometres.

Candidates square off at Camrose Public Library By Dan Jensen

Battle River-Crowfoot candidates Kevin Sorenson (Conservative), Katherine Swampy (NDP), Gary Kelly (Green) and Andy Kowalski (Liberal) had a few minutes to make opening statements before taking questions from the floor during an election forum at Camrose Public Library Oct. 1. Kelly said it is not true that Canada has a shortage of money. “If we close the loopholes that allow the super rich to avoid taxes by hiding their money overseas, if we raise the corporate tax rate to the global average, we can afford to do a lot. We can even afford

to lower taxes on small businesses owners, the people who create a lot of jobs. We can use this money to invest in the people who are going to innovate us into a prosperous green economy. We need to help people to start small and medium sized businesses to convert us over to green energy, and then to sell that technology back to the rest of the world.” Kelly noted Green Party MPs will be free to do whatever their constituents ask. “I won’t have to go back and listen to the Party leader,” he said. “Elizabeth May has vowed never to whip my vote.”

Kowalski, who is the owner of Ryley Sausage, argued that Canadian small businesses are being faced with too many taxes and duties. “Mr. Harper said not too long ago that he is getting a better stream of revenue for his government. Where is that stream coming from? It is coming from the small businesses. I can show you where I got hit by five different taxes on one item that came in on a container just yesterday from China. How is that going to help me? ” Sorenson said the Conservatives have not raised

one tax in the nine years it has been in government. “We are lowering taxes. We took the GST from seven to six to five per cent. We took the small business tax from 12 to 11 per cent, and have made a commitment to go to nine per cent. Every way you look at it our taxes are lower than they were in 2006.” Swampy said the election campaign has given her a chance to hear from voters about what they want. “When I go door to door I am hearing about the struggles that families in our communities are facing. I hear about the chal-

lenges they face finding a job. I have also spoken with parents who can’t afford quality child care, forcing them to choose between their career and their children. I hear the stress in their voices when they talk about having a secure and stable environment. I hear the anxiety when they talk about caring for their parents in their retirement. And I also hear about the anger when they talk about how veterans are being treated. Canadians are ready for a change in Ottawa, I am a ready for change in Ottawa, and I hope all of you are ready for change in Ottawa.”

CBC, pipelines, pensions and CWB focus of forum By Dan Jensen Conservative Kevin Sorenson, NDP Katherine Swampy, Green Gary Kelly and Liberal Andy Kowalski answered questions about the CBC, pipelines, the muzzling of scientists, pensions and the Canadian Wheat Board during an election forum at Camrose Public Library Oct. 1. Question: It is important that Canadians have access to information that is not controlled by for profit business. What will you do to reinstate the CBC to it being an unbiased Canadian source of information? Kowalski

“Ever since I came to Canada in 1971 from Poland, CBC, CBXT, and CTV were the only three stations on TV. A few years later we learned that CBC was the national station that covered all of Canada. Not just the major centres, but the north, the south, the west and east. All the communities that couldn’t get any information would get it from the CBC. “The people in the north use it a little less now, but it is still very important to them because it is the only station that can be beamed down to them. Nationally, I watch CBC. That is my most watched TV station. I don’t want it cut down any more. That is where we get our best news. I would not want to see our national CBC station taken away because it serves a purpose.” Kelly

“The Greens will fully restore funding to the CBC. We are going to bring back all the cuts. We aren’t afraid of being invested about the CBC and we won’t punish them for publishing unflat-

Conservative candidate Kevin Sorenson

tering articles about us. We are very keen to show Canadians that we can back up all our policies with evidence. We are also interested in evidence indicating that our policies are wrong. The CBC will point that out, believe me. “We believe in democracy and democracy needs an informed citizenry. Corporate owned media doesn’t cut it, the CBC does. It is our heritage, it is our birthright, and we want it back.” Sorenson

“I don’t accept the precept of what they talked about when they said we need access to more information. Never before have Canadians had more access to information. Never before have Canadians had more access to information than they have today. In fact, less and less people are actually watching the broadcasts from CBC. They are getting it on the Internet, they are getting it on their phone. “We believe there is a

place for CBC. It tied our country together; it helped tie it linguistically together, it put information into the north when there was no one else that could, but now there are more that can. “We believe that CBC must come forward with programming that is going to attract investment dollars. Less and less people are investing in CBC (advertising) because viewership is going down. Those are the facts. The CBC is here and we are going to keep funding it, but CBC, like other arms’ length operations, have to manage themselves. They have to have programming that attracts people and they have to be able to access revenue themselves as well.” “It is a very competitive marketplace, whether it be Global, CTV, CBC. All those other ones by the way are raising that revenue with no money from the federal government. Is there still a place for federal investment in CBC? Yes there is.”

NDP Party candidate Katherine Swampy Swampy

“There is actually a lot that CBC and other media cannot do. They have been muzzled. “Communication is a vital and integral part of society and CBC has been Canada’s main source of local and national communication. CBC is the only national network with access to smaller isolated and more diverse areas with languages such as Inuit, French, Cree. “The ratings on CBC have steadily increased. It has recently announced goals of doubling its users to 18 million a month by 2020. “CBC plans on introducing digital platforms to fit contemporary needs and is continually evolving to match audience preferences.” “I just wanted to add a little more with what was released by the Toronto Star just yesterday: ‘Unless we stop him Stephen Harper could get away with an outright lie about the damage his government has done to

CBC. Speaking on a small Quebec radio station earlier this week, Harper blatantly and falsely denied his government cuts to the CBC. There are no cuts, Harper declared, even though he cut $150 million per annum from his CBC budget in 2012. Harper went further, claiming in French that the CBC’s financial problems are the result of diminishing audiences, implying that CBC’s programs aren’t good enough. This utter nonsense is not new and has been a talking point for Conservative MP cabinet ministers, including the heritage minister, Shelly Glover. In fact, CBC Television enjoys stable audience numbers. SRC Television has recently increased its audience share and both English and French CBC Radio Canada have never enjoyed a stronger share of Canadian radio listeners as they do today.’ “I would like to ask all of you to engage and get out there and read what is being said.”

Police check for seatbelts October 9

The provincial government sets out a Traffic Enforcement initiative every month. The Traffic Enforcement Initiative for the month of October is seatbelts and occupant restraints. The Camrose police traffic unit and the Wetaskiwin integrated traffic unit conducted a seatbelt and occupant restraint operation in the city of Camrose on Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 2 p.m. In total there were 12 violation tickets for occupants not wearing a seatbelt, one violation for a driver not properly securing a child in a car seat, and one distracted driving violation. In addition, a driver was stopped for a

seatbelt violation; checks on the driver determined him to be criminally suspended from driving due to a prior impaired driving charge. The driver was charged with Driving While Disqualified and issued tickets for no insurance and no registration. October 8

CAFCL to hold Charity Auction Saturday By Dan Jensen

Camrose Association for Community Living (CAFCL) will be stressing the importance of wise decision-making when it holds its annual charity auction at the Camrose Regional Exhibition Oct. 17. “We want everyone to know that some disabilities can be prevented and we all have choices to make,” said CAFCL public relations manager Cherilyn Sharkey. “Sometimes the choices we make can lead us down a different path. The one time we decide to go dirt biking without a helmet could be the last time we ever dirt bike. The one drink we have while pregnant can change the future of our unborn child. Something as simple as not wearing a seatbelt while driving could alter our future.” Jamie Roth, one of the individuals in CAFCL’s Outreach Program, learned first hand how the decisions we make can affect the rest of our lives when he acquired a brain injury in a dirt biking accident. He has now partnered with Michelle Hainsforth from CAFCL’s Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP) to show

what drinking while pregnant, shaking a baby and injuries to the head that come from not wearing a helmet can do to the brain. “The charity auction will be a chance to hear Jamie’s story,” said Sharkey. CAFCL programs make a difference in the lives of children and teens with special health and development concerns, as well as families at risk and adults with disabilities. The TIPS (Teaching Independence and Parent Support) program, which is operated by CAFCL at many locations in east central Alberta, is unique in that it helps families with children up to six years of age facing multiple barriers. The program also assists newly pregnant moms with pre-natal education and skills. “It is a program that is preventive in nature, aimed at increasing parenting skills and decreasing the number of environmental disabilities in children,” said Sharkey. “TIPS works with families as a whole, instituting healthy changes by providing information on nutrition, budgeting, child development and community resources.” The Community Kitch-

en program, offered once a month in Camrose, Tofield, Wainwright and Provost, provides unique groupcooking opportunities for families wishing to create healthy meals at minimal cost. The Outreach program supports adults with developmental disabilities or acquired injury who have certain degrees of independence, yet require some support in daily living. Individuals most often live on their own, but they may also be living with their own families. “Outreach workers provide support, assistance and training for individuals to meet their day-today needs, such as cooking, budgeting or grocery shopping,” said Sharkey. “Support varies significantly in terms of frequency and intensity, is based on individual needs, and can range from one hour per week to approximately 15 hours per week. Individuals also have access to an emergency on-call number for assistance at any time.” The PCAP (Parent Child Assistance) program serves women who abuse alcohol or drugs during pregnancy and are ineffectively connected to ser-

vices, have a child diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder, or who are abusing alcohol or drugs in their childbearing years. Trained and supervised parent monitors provide home visitation and intervention for three years to help mothers build and maintain healthy independent family lives, assure that children are in safe and stable homes, and prevent future births of alcohol and drug exposed children. “They assist clients with setting goals and identifying steps to achieve them, obtaining alcohol or drug treatment, staying in recovery, choosing a family planning method, child health care and immunizations, connecting with community services, transportation to appointments, solving housing, domestic violence or child custody problems, and resolving system service barriers,” said Sharkey. “Mothers are not asked to leave the program if they relapse or experience setbacks.” The charity auction will provide the opportunity to bid on a number of enticing items, including fabulous trips donated by VIA Rail from Edmonton to

Vancouver for two people, a girls’ package donated by Blue Mango Hair, Melanie Pastuck Photography and The Canadian Brewhouse, a trip supplied by Harberg, Nikiforuk Wood, a Lady Antebellum autographed guitar from Panhandle Productions, and several showcase products donated by CAFCL clients. “The showcase items will show the audience and community that people with disabilities have talents and skills and that they give and donate as well to help others,” said Sharkey. A charity auction marketplace will include home-made items and popular popcorn prizes. The CAFCL charity auction started in the 1960s soon after the Burgess School opened. The 2014 auction brought in approximately $120,000 in cash, as well as donations of kitchen cabinets, air conditioning and the gas line for the association’s barrier-free home. “It is the one time of the year when we, as the community, can help,” said Sharkey. Tickets for the charity auction may be reserved by calling CAFCL at 780-672-0257.

Battle River-Crowfoot candidates make points at library By Dan Jensen Conservative Kevin Sorenson, NDP Katherine Swampy, Green Gary Kelly and Liberal Andy Kowalski answered questions about the CBC, pipelines, the muzzling of scientists, pensions and the Canadian Wheat Board during an election forum at Camrose Public Library Oct. 1. Question: What is your opinion on pipelines and tankers and how do you reconcile that Alberta is being forced to sell crude at discounted rates to the United States? Kelly “You all know the Green Party stance on the export of oil products. It is risky, it is dangerous, and the catastrophic spills are very costly to clean up. If you have done any education yourselves on bitumin, they mix it with certain things so it flows better and that product, if it gets into the environment, is almost impossible to clean up. We want to put a stop to the export of bitumin. “I know personally people who have been laid off in the oil industry so I have always been asking myself why we can’t invest more here and value add that product to the world. Let’s build shorter pipelines if they are needed and let’s build more infrastructure to refine it here and sell value added to the world.” Swampy “We are not actually trying to come down on oil companies as everybody is trying to say. We are opposed to building pipelines, yes,

because there have been so many spills, but we would also like to build refineries right here in Alberta. We are not really in the oil industry. We can’t go out there and say this is what we are going to do, but we can build or we can implement legislation. “There are a lot of new innovative ideas out there that are being ignored because instead of focusing on this new research they are muzzling it. “We don’t have to choose between a strong economy and a clean environment. That is a false choice. Dealing with climate change is not only a challenge, it is an opportunity. Let’s expand on this opportunity.” Kowalski “Let’s go back about 45 years when the U of A received a grant from federal government to see if they could extract this black stuff out of the sand up north in northern Alberta. The U of A did their experiments and that was the start of technology. Let’s move up 50 years. They are taking the bitumin out of the ground in a lot cleaner, a lot faster a lot safer way than they did 20 or 30 years ago. “The oil company bean counters, when they look at a refinery, if it doesn’t return money quickly they are not going to build it. It is very expensive to build and you need government’s help. With the technology, in a couple or three years bitumin is going to be a lot safer to handle. The bitumin is just the next step in our evolution of Alberta. All

we are hearing is the negatives. Let’s think about the positives. It gives us work, it puts money in our pockets, and we have a nice warm building to sit in and debate.” Sorenson This is one of the issues where there is a definite contrast between parties. I do support pipelines. We have 83 pipelines right now moving across the Canadian and U.S. border. “If I was to ask you how much oil moved by rail car in 2009 what would be your answer? The answer is 500 cars. In 2014, what do you think moved on our rail lines? A thousand times as much. Over 142,000 cars moving oil across Canada into the United States. This is why we need pipelines. Pipelines are by far the safest way to move oil. “The other parties have said that we should be involved in building refineries. If they made sense the private sector would have more refineries here in Canada today. Who are the largest oil producers today? Saudi Arabia and Canada. Very quickly the United States is becoming a major player in oil. We very well could lose our largest buyer. Our largest market is with the United States, so we sell, we market our bitumin. “It is easy to stand here and say all the jobs should be here, but does government build the refineries – billions and billions of dollars? Is that really what you want with your taxpayer dollars? I don’t think so.”

Kevin Sorenson, Katherine Swampy, Andy Kowalski and Gary Kelly listen to a question presented by Lisa Cumming.

Question: Do you deny what media and federal scientists have been discussing, namely the muzzling of scientists? How is this in Canada’s best interests? Sorenson “There is very little muzzling of scientists. “As Minister of State for Finance when we have new financial information that comes forward do we have deputy ministers waddle out and give all that information to the public or is that the responsibility of the minister? We had Minister Flaherty, we have the Prime Minister. Those are the ones in the political system who typically are

the ones who go out and give the information that has been found. There is all kinds of information out there on science, from private sector scientists, but that information is there. What we don’t do is say that every one of thousands within a government can go out and represent the government. “They (scientists) are not the ones responsible for the disclosure of the information. We fund the studies and it is not the scientists that move out and disseminate the information.” Kelly “The Green Party solidly wants to bring back as

many scientists as we can. We need that information; they are professionals in their field. They are going to help government make sound decisions on policy. We need them back. They shouldn’t be muzzled.” Kowalski “Being in the meat business my department is one of the last ones where all the scientists are working in Ottawa and I really appreciate that. When I need information it is one phone call away. They will patch you through to somebody and give you information.” Swampy “I think it speaks for itself.”

Battle River-Crowfoot incumbent Kevin Sorenson spoke with a future voter after the library forum.

Question: Retirement at age 65 was increased to 67 without consultation with Canadians. What is your view on the increase and the way it was implemented? Kelly “The key thing there to me and the Green Party is without consultation. That is a huge decision that should have involved as many Canadians as possible. We need to get input from as many Canadians as we can and again I want to say this leads perfectly into a vote in support for Green Party MPs in Ottawa is a vote for your voice because I will take what you want me to take to Ottawa. Your ideas, what you want to see happen. I do not have to listen to the Party leader. I don’t think anybody else here can say the same thing.” Kowalski “I am 100 per cent, and even the Party leader agrees with me, that we have to bring it back to 65.” Swampy “As a public servant I hear every day people are concerned and upset. I hear every day how people are upset that the age changed from 65 to 67. There are people who just missed that. There are people who are struggling to survive and they are so mad that this has changed. The NDP will retract this. We will change it back to 65. Our elders need to retire with dignity. We don’t need to take that from them. They built this country. “There are a lot of people struggling to survive and they need that extra little bit of income so they don’t have to choose between buying groceries or paying rent.” Sorenson “When the first CPP started the retirement age was 70. Lester Pearson changed it in 1963 and he moved it to 65. In 1963, the life expectancy of the average Canadian male was 69 years old. That is why he moved it back. Today our life expectancy is the mid or higher 80s. CPP is actuarially sound for the next 75 or 80 years. When I was young I thought CPP wasn’t going to be here when I got to retire. It will be.

“We have brought forward the largest rise in the GIS in 25 years. We have to make sure that seniors have a secure dignified retirement, and that is why we brought forward ideas like the tax free savings account, where you can watch it grow and take it out tax free. Over 11 million Canadians have taken part in the tax free savings account. The opposition parties say they don’t like it, they voted against it and they would get rid of it. The other thing that our government moved forward to give retirees more of a secure dignified retirement was pension income splitting. Again, being able to average between a husband and a spouse if there are two in the family.” “In 2023, OAS moves from 65 to 67. That does not say that you cannot retire at 60 or 61. It does not say that you still don’t have a choice for CPP at 61 or 62. What it does say is you will begin to collect the OAS part a “There are three very important pillars to retirement. The first pillar is the pillar of guaranteed income supplement and OAS. We put them together so that is for the lowest income Canadians. The OAS and GIS must remain solid and it is based all on revenues in that one year from working Canadians. The second pillar is the CPP, which is actuarially sound for the next 75 or 80 years. The third pillar is the pillar in which Canadians are the least invested, and that is the pillar of private investment, their own savings. RRSPs are a key part of a retirement package, but we felt we needed more. We doubled the old age credit from $1,000 to $2,000. We have slightly expanded how much you can earn before some of the OAS is clawed back. We are going to bring forward income splitting, so if you do have a workplace pension plan or a Canada Pension Plan or anything else you can now split it with your spouse and she can pay (tax) at the lower amount. It has saved thousands of dollars for average Canadians that are in that position.” More forum page 31

Canadian music icon Valdy is no stranger to Camrose. He has played at the Canadian Bull Congress, Bailey Theatre and several house concerts in the area over the years and fans keep asking him to come back. The folk singer will be playing at the Bailey Theatre on Friday, Oct. 16 beginning at 8 p.m. Valdy, born Valdemar Horsdal in Ottawa, has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for over 34 years. A man with a thousand friends, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to Texas to New Zealand, he’s a singer, guitarist and songwriter who catches the small, but telling moments that make up life. Remembered for “Play Me a Rock and Roll Song,” his bitter-sweet memory of finding himself, a relaxed and amiable story-teller, facing a rambunctious audience at the Aldergrove Rock Festival circa 1968, Valdy has sold almost half a million copies of his 13 albums, has two Juno Awards (Folk Singer of the Year and Folk Entertainer of the Year), a total of seven Juno nominations and four gold albums to his credit. Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office or online.

Bergmann Duo are an entertaining piano team By Murray Green The Bergmann Piano Duo has touched and inspired audiences with uniquely eclectic programs for more than two decades. The duo has performed recitals and concerts with orchestras in many parts of the world. “The classic series is presented in cooperation with the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus. We are on the same page. They are looking for world class artists to bring in and work with students and we are looking for world class artists to put on a show for us,” said LPAC acting general manager Nick Beach. “The Bergmann Duo show came out of that relationship with Augustana. This

is an amazing duo that is world class, and the members are Albertans. They will also be working with the students in a master class.” The duo plays at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose on Sunday, Oct. 18, at 2 p.m. in the classical series. “We have had two grand pianos on stage before, but this is the first time the duo is the feature. The concert is about two pianists. The nice thing about this concert is that they are doing a mix of genres, so it is not just classical. It has good energy, which should be fun,” said Beach. “It is a showcase of

what can be played on two pianos.” The duo has made recordings for the CBC, for several stations of the ARD in Germany and for National Public Radio. It has also recorded several CDs, which appear on the CordAria, Arktos, Koch International Classics, Naxos and Brilliant Classics labels. As founding members of the International Piano Quartet they had the opportunity to record Stravinsky’s Les Noces under the direction of Robert Craft at the Abbey Road Studios in London. The duo’s latest two releases feature Marcel’s arrangement for four pianos of Mike Oldfield’s Tubu-

lar Bells and a collection of minimal music for multiple pianos also featuring Marcel’s compositions. Committed to supporting the production of new repertoire, the duo has commissioned and premiered several works by Canadian composers. An extensive repertoire ranges from the baroque to the contemporary and includes numerous own arrangements and compositions. “It is your opportunity to discover piano at Augustana. We also have Milton Schlosser and Roger Admiral in the series as well,” said Tanya Pattullo, LPAC patron services manager. “Again we are featuring world class artists; it just happens that we have two

of them right here in Camrose,” said Beach. “Those two shows will be tailored to Camrose, rather than a show that is just part of a tour.” In addition to their performing careers they enjoy teaching and working in other capacities of the music industry. Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann will present a piano masterclass in the Augustana chapel from 7 to 9 p.m. Participants are pianists from the studio of Dr. Milton Schlosser. There is no charge for admission and the public is welcome. Tickets for the concert are available at the LPAC Box Office.

Last spring the Rose City Roots Music Society added Colleen Rennison, of No Sinner fame, to the lineup of its concert series to offer her solo work to local music fans. This time she returns with the full band for a show on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 8 p.m., at the Bailey Theatre. Rennison’s band was known for its hard hitting rock and roll sound, but her solo work has more of a country-folk sound.

Ray Leiren – 780-373-3910 “When you are in a band it is a collaboration of people working to a common sound. I wanted to have a solo album that was a branch of my own sound,” she explained about her own Canadian folk music show in the spring. Rennison (which backwards spells No Sinner, the name of the rock band) put her acting career on the back-burner with a busy schedule of rock tours and her solo work. She played minor roles

alongside some of the famous actors and actresses in Hollywood, including Bruce Willis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Kathleen Turner, Minnie Driver, Tom Arnold, Ray Liotta and Hilary Duff. However, even with her success, she longed for the musical stage. “I heard good things about the 100-year Bailey Theatre. I’m excited to come to Camrose and play some music at the Bailey,” she said last April. Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office or online.

Gerber appears in Home Routes series By Murray Green

Alan Gerber will be performing at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre in the Home Routes series on Friday, Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. Where energy, intellect and an unbridled passion for life intersect, there you’ll find the music of Alan Gerber. Possessing a rock ‘n roll swagger born from years in the musical trenches, tempered by a soulful poet’s heart, Gerber has won a devoted legion of fans drawn to his cleverly crafted lyrics and engaging live performances. “I’m really into the physicality of music, of rock ‘n roll and R&B,” Gerber said, “but I’m also really into poetry and intelligent lyrics, talking about something that is important to me and hopefully other people. My songs are stories about life.” Gerber has an extensive musical resume that includes working with Bob Dylan, Leon Russell and the Doors’ legendary producer Paul Rothchild. Gerber is a riveting live performer who has developed a reputation for holding an audience in the palm of his hand. “I love to create the music, the words, performing and recording, the whole process,” he said. “I love the feeling when I’m playing and moving people, making them feel the way I felt when I wrote that song. They are sending energy back to me that makes my energy more than I ever imagined. It’s that wonderful flow between performer and audience. I love it all,” Gerber said. Growing up in Chicago, Gerber soaked up a variety of musical influences, starting with his mother’s gentle hands on the family’s Wurlitzer baby grand piano and rollicking boogie woogie blues sessions courtesy of his uncles, one a businessman and the other a corporate attorney, but both musicians at heart. “This series is usually held in people’s homes and tickets are mostly sold to family and friends. We wanted more people to be able to listen to Alan, so we are holding the concert in the Arts Centre,” explained arts director Jane CherryLemire. Camrose is the first stop for six artists or groups as they tour through the province. The first event was held last month. Gerber, originally from Chicago, is the second concert.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, October 13, 2015 – Page 19

So thankful

I’m writing this at 9:00 a.m. on my birthday. I’ve already received birthday cards in the mail. This morning, birthday e-mails, electronic birthday cards and Facebook messages were waiting in my inbox. By 8:00 a.m., I’d received text messages and a telephone “happy birthday chorus” in four-part harmony from family members. (I especially enjoy the part where they sing “Happy birthday to Mom/Bonnie/Grandma” simultaneously.) I’m also feeling quite productive because I’ve clicked the “send” button on some documents for a client. I’m filled with gratitude for the abundance of love in my life, and the opportunity to work with people I admire whose organizations make a difference in the world. So far it’s been a good year! *** A few days ago it occurred to me that last week would have been the appropriate time to write a column about Thanksgiving. The only glitch was that last week’s paper was already printed. Then I decided it’s always a good time to be thankful. *** At times when I’ve been cranky and somebody advised me to, “Count your blessings,” I found it eye-rollingly irritating. Clearly that person didn’t understand reality. Since then, I’ve come to appreciate appreciation. Of course it’s nice to be appreciated by others – especially out loud! – but what I’ve learned is that appreciation is actually a gift to the appreciator. The more I look for things to appreciate, the more things I find to appreciate and the more joy I experience. Huge benefit. Conversely, on cranky days when I’m critical and grumpy, it’s easy to see bad things everywhere I look. “And not only that… yadda yadda yadda…” I’ve concluded that “Beauty (and everything else) is in the eye of the beholder.” On good days, I remember to behold many things that bring me gratitude and joy. *** Turns out research verifies my impressions. (I love it when science confirms truth and wisdom that many people already understand.) According to an Edmonton Journal article by Craig and Mark Kielburger, “Research in the field of neuroscience and psychology suggests that negative emotions restrict our focus and limit our ability to think of new ideas, while positive emotions increase creative output and activate neural pathways associated with creative thought.” Who knew that feeling thankful could “activate neural pathways of creative thought” – not something I would have figured out on my own. Woo Hoo! In Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff, clinical psychologist Michael Mantell says studies show that feeling grateful lowers stress, blood pressure and cholesterol and boosts our immune system. Maybe we could lower public health costs for drugs, surgery and care by feeling grateful! (Perhaps I’ll write a note to Provincial Treasurer Joe Ceci who may not yet have considered “gratitude” as a financial strategy.) Studies also show that gratitude is associated with positive youth development, improved academic performance and self-esteem. Ask young people to start noticing their favourite moments of the day. They do get past eye-rolling, and the benefits to them include greater happiness, optimism, bonding, kindness and other huge payoffs. *** A book called The Magic by Rhonda Byrne describes the benefits of gratitude and maps out a 28-day gratitude program. Among the activities, each morning you write 10 things you’re grateful for, and each evening you ask yourself, “What’s the best thing that happened today?” In other words, you “book-end” the beginning and end of your day with gratitude. I’ve worked my way through the 28-day activities several times, and each time I’ve been amazed by what a difference it makes to my happiness. I’ve also noticed that each time has included at least one astonishingly wonderful occurrence that seemed miraculous. When I notice that my contentment level is below par, I know it’s time to re-activate the 28 day gratitude process. *** When my mom lived in a seniors’ lodge, she said that when someone asked residents, “How are you?” they would often answer, “Grateful!” They were just glad to be breathing for another day. Thanksgiving weekend is past, but every day is a good day for gratitude. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

BAM Percussion set for wild show By Murray Green

BAM Percussion was created by Steve Burman and Jean-Sébastien Dallaire in time for the 1999 Just for Laughs Search for New Talent contest. Performing for just their second time as a group, BAM placed second at the national level. “BAM is going to be our kick-off in the family series. They are completely wild. It is this crazy drumming and they are so much fun. Although this show is in the family series, ticket purchases have been all over the map because it is a great show for all ages,” said LPAC acting general manager Nick Beach. The group plays at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in

Camrose on Saturday, Oct. 17, at 2 p.m. “It is going to be fun for everyone. The children will be dancing in the aisles. BAM has super energy and they drum on each other and all over. I wanted some iconic shows for the family series. Friends in the theatre business said look at BAM. I thought who is BAM. I listened to a clip of these guys for only a minute and thought this is the show we want in Camrose,” said Beach. “I bought tickets for my daughter’s birthday party and it is a great way for them to enjoy the day,” said Tanya Pattullo, LPAC patron services manager. BAM, at the Culture Awards of the Foundation of Arts, Literature and Culture

in the Outaouais, was awarded the Best New Creation prize. “Our goal was to have a family series that made it so affordable because we want sold out shows. We made it easy to bring your family for a fifth of the cost of what it would cost in Edmonton,” said Beach. “You can still subscribe to the entire series until the day of the show.” The group combines comedy, wild drumming and costumes to entertain all ages between three and 83 years. Their material is the sum of their imagination, voices, a few random objects and big blue barrels. The Canadian drummers have been a hit all over the world. Tickets are available at the LPAC Box Office.

Messrs. Schreiber and Vandewoude, it seems, are less than thrilled with the current federal government. Mr. Schreiber wants a government that spends less and Mr. Vandwoude wants one that spends more. Leaving aside the questions of where this money should (or should not) be spent, why don’t we look at the alternative? Both the Liberals and the NDP are committed to cutting oil production and pipeline construction. They would rather spend billions, if not trillions, pursuing the failed ‘renewable energy’ initiatives that broke Ontario. Not only would this decimate the Alberta economy which relies heavily on oil production, it would double the price of electricity. This isn’t speculation, look at Ontario which, under successive NDP and Liberal governments, went from a ‘have’ to a ‘have not’ province in 12 short years. I came to Alberta nearly 40 years ago to escape the havoc wrought by the NDP in B.C. I arrived in Alberta as it was recovering from the havoc wrought by the national Energy Program of Mr. Trudeau the Elder. If past behavior is the best indicator of future action then I see nothing good coming from Mr. Mulcair, who wants to give Mr. Vandewoude his government funded daycare (despite numerous studies that show public daycare has a disastrous negative impact on child development) or Mr. Trudeau. Mr. Harper, whatever his flaws, has kept us afloat (the Canadian ‘middle class’ is better off than the US ‘middle class’ for the first time under Mr. Harper) while the rest of the world is sinking under the combined weight of foolish spending and debt. And he accomplished this while successive Liberal and NDP government wrecked the economy of the wealthiest province in Canada. Look around you. Look at what is happening in the US, in Europe, and the Far East. Most of their economies are on the verge of collapse. There are wars and rumours of wars. We have a safe and stable country (for now). Despite pressure from Mssres. Mulcair, Trudeau

and their surrogates in the media, Mr. Harper has kept us secure. The Liberals and NDP will not. Mr. Harper may not be perfect (who is?) but he is far better than the alternative. Dave Gosse, Camrose Muzzling scientists

Let me begin by stating that I do not in any way endorse the title of this letter. In fact, growing up in Canada, had anyone told me that a Canadian government would purposefully shut down science and muzzle scientists, I would have never imagined it. You may recall that back in 2013 I wrote a Second Thought column in which I made the claim that the Canadian government was muzzling scientists and in many cases preventing them from publishing their findings. In this column I indicated that I had received a reply from our Member of Parliament when I sent him a letter on this issue. Here is the key sentence in his reply: “First of all, I reject the premise that our government is muzzling scientists.” I am taking this opportunity, in light of the MacLean’s article and the Day of Protest held on May 19 this year by federal scientists themselves, to ask once more for the Conservative candidate in this riding to provide his constituents with a reasoned explanation for why muzzling scientists and shutting down science is good for Canada. Just to remind him of what has been happening, at the day of protest these are some of the examples that were described. Some scientists have been required to change their results because the results are politically inconvenient. Others have said they can’t voice an opinion even when they are willing to identify it as their own opinion. Others have reported that the government sends minders to conferences to monitor and control what our Canadian scientists are saying. Further to this, over 15,000 federal scientists were invited to participate in an online survey conducted by Environics. Here is what they found: 90 per cent of scientists don’t feel they can speak freely to the media; 37 per cent report they were prevented from responding to questions from the public and media by public relations staff or management over the past five years; 24 per cent report being directly asked to exclude or alter information for non-scientific reasons; 48 per cent are aware of actual cases in which their department or agency suppressed information; Continued on page 27

In memory of

Macala Jane Kneeland May 31, 1997 – October 13, 2004 A Child of Mine “I’ll lend you for a little while A child of mine,” God said For you to love the while she lives And mourn for when she’s dead. It may be six or seven years, Or forty-two or -three. But will you, till I call her back Take care of her for me? She’ll bring her charms to gladden you And – should her stay be brief – You’ll have her lovely memories As a solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay For all from earth returns, But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the whole world over In my search for teachers true. And from all beings that crowd life’s land I have chosen you. Now, will you give her all your love? Nor think the labor vain? Nor hate me when I come to take This lent child back again? I fancied that I heard you say “Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joys Thy child will bring The risk of grief we’ll run. We will shelter her with tenderness We’ll love her while we may – And for the happiness we have known Forever grateful stay. But should the angels come for her Much sooner than we planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try – to understand.” – Author Unknown

Kevin was born in Viking, AB on February 5, 1936. He worked for NW Utilities for 35 years, living in Edmonton, Legal, Provost, Lacombe, Wetaskiwin and Lloydminster, making many friends along the way. Kevin and Alice have enjoyed many years of retirement in Camrose, AB, travelling, golfing, enjoying music and the performing arts as well as visiting with friends and family. In his younger years, Kevin was an avid sportsman and recently attended the revival of the Viking Shamrock Baseball Team where he and other original players were reunited. He was a loving husband, wonderful father and special friend. We will miss him dearly. Kevin’s memorial service was held on Saturday, September 26, 2015 at Irma School in Irma, AB. We are very grateful for all of the love and support offered to Kevin and family during this difficult time. We would like to give a special thank you to those family and friends who helped with Kevin’s funeral.

November 22, 1939 – September 24, 2015 MEL’S STORY: Melvin Leroy Mackey was born in Viking, AB on November 22, 1939 to Cora (Hollar) Mackey and Samuel Leroy (Roy) Mackey. They owned Viking Jewelry Store next to The Cash Store and lived in the small rooms behind it. Mackey’s brother, Vern, was born in 1942 and the family moved to Vernon, BC for a short time. By 1947, the family broke up and, in 1950, Cora married Louis Anderson. Mel was a child helper on Louis’ farm and later, in 1972, moved his family there. The family continues to live there as it has been in the family for 110 years. He married Myrna Harray on July 22, 1960. Mel has worn many hats in his life. He was a cowboy for several seasons, but the oilfield called and he worked his way from floor hand to tool push for Big Horn Drilling. He bought machinery and took over for his ailing stepfather, Louis in 1970, but continued to work in the oil patch. In 1972, while the family was in the process of moving, his young son Melvin Reed was killed in an accident. By that time, the family numbered five, and later, two more were added joined by several foster children. Mel left the oil patch until the fall of 1974 when his friend and neighbor, Andy Osbak, asked him to work for three weeks. Mel stayed there at Sedco for nine years working with his son and son-in-law, amongst others. He still managed to farm with help from the family. He retired to straight farming in 1983. He added more land, better machinery, and more horses and cattle. Papered horses were his passion, and he raised good ones. As years went by, horses decreased in both value and numbers. Cattle remained, land was sold, other acres rented out, but enough was kept to keep him busy. He loved auctions and was a regular at many. Mel passed away on September 24, 2015 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose at the age of 75 years after a short illness. Mel is remembered with love by his wife of 55 years, Myrna; his sons and their wives Shannon (Marla) of Nanaimo, BC, Harlen (Gabrielle) of Viking and Jamie (Heidi Schwab) of Killam; daughters Sina (Victor) Lindquist of Killam, Kristen Mackey (Daryl Fossum) of Duchess and Kari Mackey (Lenard Turcotte) of Killam; foster daughter Allyson Bakewell of Killam; sister Evalee Murphy (Dan) of Tofield; 18 grandchildren; three step-grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; three sisters-in-law Dot, Ida Mae and Nancy; two brothers-in-law Bruce and Lorne; and many aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, step-parents, parents-in-law, brother Vernon and son Melvin Reed. Thank You The families of Mel Mackey would like to thank all the people who brought food to the house, flowers and visited at a time we could barely function. To the doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, EMTs and STARS crew at St. Mary’s Hospital and in Viking, we know you did everything there was to be done to return our loved one to us, but that was not to be. Many thanks to the Siebolds for stepping in to help with the harvest. To all the relatives and friends whose support we needed and will need, we thank you. Thank you to the Legion Hall and Legion Ladies for lunch following the service. To Rolf and Grace for their help with the service and Ruth who played the piano, thank you so much. To all who helped in any way, especially Rose and Earl at Viking Funeral Services, our small words of thanks are not enough, but it is all we have. In lieu of thank you cards, donations in memory of Mel may be made to STARS, Suite 100, 1519-35 Avenue East, Edmonton International Airport, Edmonton, AB T9E 0V6. – Myrna Mackey and families

We will also ask fans to come out on Oct. 16 and 17 and bring clothes for kids to our two home games that weekend,” said coach Boris Rybalka. “Bring jackets, pants, shirts, gloves, mitts, toques, hats and any spare clothes. Although this is only October, we need to remember everyone that people need all winter clothes. The Kodiaks will have the box out until the end of November and we ask that people continue to drop items off at Kodiak home games.” The clothes do not need to be new items, as long as they are in great condition. Camrose is tied for first place in the southern division of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. This is the first time this year Camrose has had to share the lead. Okotoks has matched the Kodiaks’ 15 points, but has played one more game. Camrose began another winning steak when they defeated the Fort McMurray Oil Barons 5-1 on Oct. 3. Estian Coetzee notched two goals to lead the offence. T.J. Brown, Scott Ferguson and P.J. Marrocco garnered single markers in the last game of the AJHL Showcase weekend for Camrose. Camrose built up a 3-0 lead after the first frame. Fort McMurray scored on a power play before Camrose added two more tallies. Goalie Brodan Salmond stopped 26 of the 27 shots directed his way. A 5-4 shootout loss against the Lloydminster Bobcats stopped the Kodiaks from having a sweep in the showcase event. Lloydminster scored in the first and Camrose came back in the second in the close checking game. Then in the third, the game opened up and each team netted three goals to force overtime. However, the extra period didn’t solve anything. Each club had five shooters and both goalies stood tall. The sixth shooter for the Bobcats finally solved the deadlock. Cole McBride garnered the first three tallies for Camrose to earn a hat trick. Angus Scott netted the other marker in the third. Goalie Patrick Gora stopped 35 of 39 shots, while Camrose recorded 26 shots. Bear facts 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.

RETURNING A KICK

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Austin Thompson runs back a kick against the Rocky Mountain House Rebels in Camrose. The CCHS Trojans defeated the Ponoka Broncs on Oct. 8 to move to a 3-2 record on the season.

CCHS Trojans regain their form By Murray Green

The Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team unleashed its offence against Drayton Valley on Oct. 2 at Kin Park. CCHS used a balanced attack to win 40-2 and beat Ponoka 27-6 to improve its record to 3-2 after the first five games. “It was a big game (Drayton Valley) for us as we regained our confidence after the previous week’s loss,” said coach Adam Belanger. “Griffin Lorenz made some incredible throws at quarterback and spread the ball around with some excellent reads.” When the game was

close the Trojans came up with a big defensive play. “They made a good pass and run play but our defence was able to track the runner down by using our speed and that kept the game close until we were able to score more points,” said coach Belanger. “Drayton Valley is a new team this year but they were strong on defence, especially in the first half, and they are going to give some teams trouble before the season ends.” The Trojans feel they are back on track and are preparing for a strong finish and the league playoffs. “Everyone is working hard and the players are

still focused on what they need to do to help the team. Getting our confidence back through a game like this will only help us from now on,” said coach Belanger. Although Wetaskiwin isn’t as strong this year, the Trojans will be ready. “Wetaskiwin always finds a way to play well against us and we have to be prepared for that. There are no easy games and the league is balanced, so at any time a team can beat another on any given night.” Camrose travels to Wetaskiwin on Oct. 16 for a 7 p.m. start in the last league game.

Vikings to host cross-country running meet this Saturday By Murray Green The University of Alberta Augustana Vikings are hosting a grand prix open cross-country running event as a prelude to the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference championships. The event will be held at the Stoney Creek Lodge on Oct. 17 with the women starting at noon and the men at 1 p.m. “Our goal is to finish in the top three in both women’s and men’s running at provincials, so we can move on to nationals as a team,” said assistant running coach Robert Renman. “Our top runners in both push each other to finish well. The difference in the top teams is often the third and fourth runners and we are working on having a strong team of runners.” At SAIT on Oct. 3, the Vikings as a team placed fourth. Emily McIlroy led

Augustana in the colleges event with an eighth place showing over five kilometres. She was followed by Anna Sigurdson in 12th, Taya Hoar in 16th, Brianna Schultz in 26th, Leah Reid in 29th and Daniella Burke in 34th. On the men’s side, the team came in third with Jonathan Fuller leading the Vikings in eighth spot over the eight kilometres. He was followed by Joedy Dalke in 11th, Matt Martin in 12th, Joseph Sartison in 23rd and Ethan Laverty in 28th. Earlier in the year McIlroy placed fourth in Grande Prairie with Sigurdson coming in ninth, Hoar was 12th, Schultz was 13th and Tayla Koerber reached the top 15. Martin led the Vikings in Grande Prairie in fifth place, Fuller was sixth, Dalke seventh, Sartison 11th and Reece Bailey came in 12th.

“Since we are hosting the next race on Oct. 17, we hope a lot of local runners will enter and that the community comes out to watch. With more people watching the atmosphere seems to move to a different level. It is fun and exciting with a larger crowd,” said Renman. “It is one of the best courses to watch a race from because you see more of the runners. It gives a great perspective.” The ACAC provincials are on Oct. 31 in Lethbridge, while the nationals are in Brockville, Ontario Nov. 13 and 14. Soccer The Vikings women’s team lost 3-0 at home to Concordia and 3-1 in Edmonton in the return match. Tara Berger scored her second of the year for the Vikings. The men’s squad also dropped two games with a

4-2 game at home and 3-0 on the road. Jaeden Norton provided the spark on offence for Augustana by scoring both goals. The Vikings host Keyano on Oct. 17 with games at 2 and 4 p.m. On Oct. 18, the King’s Eagles provide the opposition. Augustana ends the regular season at King’s University on Oct. 25 Hockey The Augustana Vikings hockey team garnered two close victories Sept. 30 and Oct. 2. Four points was the goal for the team against the Grant MacEwan Griffins and they came up with a 4-3 win at home and a 3-2 decision in Edmonton. In the game at EnCana Arena, Tyne Keller led the Vikings with two tallies. Single markers came from captain Scott Swiston and Evan Warmington. Harry Fredeman

received the start in net and he stopped 33 of the 36 shots he faced. In a more robust game in Edmonton the Vikings were down 2-0 before they exploded for three goals to win the contest. Dylan Coupal, Lukas Biensch and Beau Taylor scored for the Vikings after coach Blaine Gusdal rallied his troops. Goalie Curtis Skip turned away 28 of the 30 shots directed his way. Augustana fired 27 shots at the MacEwan net. Augustana hosts the Concordia Thunder on Oct. 23 at the EnCana Arena in the next home game at 7:30 p.m. Basketball The Vikings open at home on Oct. 16 against the Lakeland Rustlers. The women’s game starts at 6 and the men follow at 8 p.m.

Buick Encore A premium crossover

Graeme Davidson By Dan Jensen

The 2015 Buick Encore at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC is a premium crossover that can keep up with your every move. Encore’s character comes through with tailored creases in the hoods that highlight refinement, blue-accented projectorbeam headlamps that give Encore an expressive look, and the chrome portholes and waterfall grille that are signatures of Buick design. Interior Inside, Encore’s seamlessly flowing lines, highlighted by ice-blue ambient lighting, create a relaxed, yet spacious environment. The instrument panel’s low and away design gives a feeling of openness, while softto-the-touch materials like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and available leatherappointed heated front seats add to your comfort. The five-passenger seating transforms to 1,371 litres of cargo space with the second-row seats folded flat. Even with the rear seat up, Encore gives you 532 litres of cargo space. Performance Encore’s 1.4 litre turbo engine with variable valve

timing produces 138 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,850 rpm. The estimated fuel consumption with front wheel drive is 9.5 litres per 100 km in the city and 7.2 litres per 100 km on the highway. All wheel drive Encores achieve 10.2 litres per 100 km in the city and 8.0 litres per 100 km on the highway. The transmission is a six-speed automatic, electronically controlled with Driver Shift Control. Technology With Encore, the world really does revolve around you. Enjoy fuller sound with the optional Bose premium seven-speaker audio system. Available OnStar with 4G LTE keeps you connected to your world. The all-new available technology provides your Encore with a fast, reliable, available Wi-Fi hotspot. Passengers can tap into available highspeed wireless Internet and connect up to seven compatible mobile devices to browse websites, stream movies, send e-mails and more. Use your voice to control the Buick IntelliLink interactive audio system or have

the optional Navigation System guide you to what you are looking for. Your compatible smartphone connecs via Bluetoothy to Encore’s high resolution, 178 mm diagonal LCD touch-screen. With the ease of enhanced voice recognition (or steering-wheel-mounted controls) you have access to available audio apps on your phone such as Stitcher SmartRadio and Sirius XM Satellite Radio (with three month trial). IntelliLink also automatically stores your phone contacts for quick access. There’s even a USB port and an available 120-volt outlet to connect your other electronic devices. You’re doing all of this while keeping your hands on the wheel and eyes squarely on the road. Keeping you safe Encore’s available Forward Collision Alert and available Lane Departure Warning use digital imaging to help you avoid trouble before it happens. Forward Collision Alert provides audible and visual cues if you’re quickly approaching another vehicle and the system senses a collision may occur. Lane Departure Warning lets you know if

you wander from your lane without using your turn signal. Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert makes you aware of approaching traffic when backing up. Available Side Blind Zone Alert warns you when a vehicle is in your side-mirror blind spot. And a standard Rear Vision Camera helps you see objects while in reverse. Encore has ten standard air bags, including dual front, head curtain side, front and outboard-mounted rearseat side-impact air bags, and even driver and frontpassenger knee bags. Safety features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Front and rear park assist is designed to help the driver park and avoid obstacles while manoeuvring. Ultrasonic sensors detect objects in front of and behind the vehicle. When the system detect an object, it provides audible alerts through Encore’s speakers. Low-toned beeps from the rear speakers indicate an object at the rear; high-

toned beeps from the front speakers indicate an object in front of Encore. The faster the beeps, the closer the object. The 2015 Encore comes with a five-year, OnStar Basic Plan. This standard plan gives you access to the RemoteLink Key Fob Services, which let you lock and unlock car doors, activate the horn and lights, and even start the Encore remotely from your compatible smartphone or tablet. Plus, get OnStar Vehicle Diagnostics and Dealer Maintenance Notification to make service scheduling simple. Along with the five-year OnStar Basic Plan, you’ll also receive a six-month trial of the Directions and Connections Plan that includes Automatic Crash Response, Emergency Services, Stolen Vehicle Assistance, Live Advisor Assistance, and available Hands-Free Calling. You can see the new Buick Encore by visiting McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 385048 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Letters to the Editor Continued from page 20

62 per cent feel the best climate change science is not used in policy. In light of the above, I would like to ask our Conservative candidate to state publicly whether he continues to hold his position of denial with respect to this problem. If he is persuaded that “there may be something to this after all,” I would like to hear his response to the question I originally asked him. Why is this deliberate muzzling of scientists in the best interests of Canada? Now would be a good time to respond to this issue. To other readers. If this issue has you as outraged as I am, I encourage you to contact the Conservative candidate’s office to request a cogent, reasoned defense of the federal government’s active suppression of the communication of scientific findings. So far, I haven’t seen one. Tim Parker, Camrose

John Howard column

I just read John Howard’s column on de-cluttering! My husband and I have just completed a large portion of de-cluttering our basement/garage after being in our home for just 10 years! I could totally relate to how he felt! We felt like we were throwing away a part of our past. I finally parted with my wedding dress after 43 years of marriage! Ouch! John wrote it so well that I found myself nodding my head in agreement as I read it! AND I am, like him, in no way OCD! My husband would probably disagree! Thanks for the great read!

If you’re interested in researching your family history, but don’t know where to start you’ll want to attend an Alberta Genealogical Society Camrose branch workshop at the Camrose Public Library Oct. 17. “We’re going to have Norman Fishbuch tell us about the journey he has taken from wanting to find out about his family do actually doing it and the importance of being methodical in your research,” explained Camrose branch president Janine Carroll. Fishbuch is the author of Friedrich the Blacksmith: From the Promised Land of Catherine the Great to the Gulags of Comrade, published by Trafford Publishing, the story of one of the ancestors he learned about while looking into the history of his ancestry. The book documents the life of an ambitious young man growing up in Russia near the Polish border in the late 1890s. The Alberta Genealogical Society Camrose branch meets the second Thursday of each month in the downstairs meeting room of Camrose Public Library. The branch has approximately 18 members, which is up from about 14 two years ago. “I think it is a case of people waiting to join until it (membership) fits into their schedule,” said Carroll of the increase. “I wanted to join four or five years before but I had things going on in my life that prevented that from happening. The people who have joined in the past little while are finally at the point where they have the time to do it.”

Elizabeth Clarke concert at Augustana Oct. 13 Augustana alum Elizabeth Clarke will be presenting a piano concert at the Augustana Campus chapel at 7 p.m. on Oct. 13. Originally from Fort McMurray, Clarke now studies at the University of Victoria where she is pursuing her Master of Music degree under the direction of professor Arthur Rowe. She completed her undergraduate studies with Dr. Milton Schlosser at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus in 2013. Upon her graduation from the University of Alberta Elizabeth was awarded a Governor General’s silver medal, recognizing her as one of the top three undergraduate students to graduate from the university that year. She is also the recipient of a graduate scholarship grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and her resulting research paper, “The Piano Quartet in Canada” has been published on the website of the Canadian Music Centre.

Augustana Vikings golfer Braxton Fox, of Camrose, won the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference championships and helped the university win the team event as well on Oct. 3 and 4 in Medicine Hat. Braxton has been with the Vikings golf team since its start in the conference three years ago. Over the years he has worked hard on the game and has been a contender for the last two years. “It was pretty exciting to win. Individually it was okay, but winning the team event was the goal we all wanted this year,” said Braxton. On the first day only three golfers broke 80 because of the bad weather conditions. “We had a goal set to beat the MacEwan golfers if we were paired with them,” said Braxton. “When I hit the 15th hole, I knew I had a chance of winning because I was up a couple of shots.” His performance led him to be named the ACAC athlete of the week. At the golf championship he shot a 79 on the first day in extreme windy and cold weather conditions and followed with a 74 on the last day to earn an individual gold medal. He was a little nervous on the last few holes but played well and finished strong. “I enjoyed the individual success last year but this year it was a total team effort,” he said. “It didn’t matter who won as long as the team qualified for nationals.” Braxton’s positive attitude and team leadership prevailed when he needed it the most. Last year, he received the bronze medal and this year he vowed to go to the nationals as a team player and not just as an individual. “It is going to be an awesome experience with the entire team. Last year, I went with the Medicine Hat team and this year a Medicine Hat player will be going with us. I had no pressure last year because it was just myself. Now I want to golf better because we feel that as a team, we can finish in the top 10 in the country,” he said. “Michael has been a good addition to the team and Client: CHRYSLER CANADA gives usDAA more depth Project: OCT 2015 ROC RETAIL NEWSPthen we Docket: DAC_15_1150 had last year.

Gary Kelly has received mixed reactions from people he has met while knocking on doors in his campaign to be the next member of parliament for Battle RiverCrowfoot. “I have had people who, as soon as I told them I am with the Green Party, slam the door in my face,” he said. “I have also had long conversations about people who wondered what the Green Party has to offer. I spent 35 minutes explaining to a gentleman where I stand and was able to get him to sign my nomination papers.” Kelly decided to run for the Green Party out of a concern for the future of his children. “I don’t like the direction this country is going so I felt it was time to step up and do what I can,” he said. Kelly believes it is important to get the BattleRiver Crowfoot and many other ridings across the country out of the boom and bust cycle. “Here it is caused by oil, but a lot of other ridings in the country are in the same boat,” he said. “They are putting too much emphasis on one industry. There have been three oil boom/bust cycles that I can remember in my lifetime. I saw my dad go through it when he went from making money and turning away job applicants because of the huge infrastructure influx that came with all the oil, to almost overnight being unemployed. I don’t like that. We need infrastructure and we need jobs and the only way we are going to bring them back is by starting to look at other ways of doing business.” Kelly is concerned with what he sees as a lack of green investment in Canada. “There is a ton of green investment throughout the planet but none of it is happening here,” he said. “If we get in now we can make a lot of money and put a lot of people to work. We could make things better for seniors and veterans and bring back some of the social programs that in my opinion have been obliterated. You know what has happened in the news and how we have treated veterans and how we are treating seniors. They (seniors) are not retiring dignity. We can fix all that.” Kelley feels the cost of green technology will come down as more and more people start to embrance it. “If you want the latest version of X-Box right away you pay $450 and

get no games and no controller, but within a year that X-Box is $250 with a controller and a free game. The same thing can happen with green technology. The political will just has to be there. People need to step up and say we want this, we need to elect Green MPs because they are the only ones talking about it. The technology is there for the taking, we just have to grab it.” Kelly believes one of the first steps that must be taken to revive the Canadian economy is to close the loopholes that allow the rich to avoid paying taxes. “There is something in the area of $600 billion sitting out there evading taxes because there are too many loopholes,” he said. “The Green Party will slam shut those loopholes and, if we can get the corporate taxes up to the global average, which is about 10 or 11 per cent, we will have a lot more money to play with.” Kelly wants Canadians to stop their dependence on oil before it is too late. “I am not anti-oil,” he said. “We are all dependent on it right now, but let’s talk about the future and get off this stuff because I know that one day it is going to run out. It is a non renewable resource. We have to get this figured out and we can’t wait until it is too late. Imagine a world where oil runs out when we are still depending on it.” Kelly and his parents immigrated to Canada from Scotland. He lived in many places in Alberta and BC while growing up, and currently resides in Tofield with his wife and three children. He has a diploma in biological sciences from NAIT and a certificate in conservation enforcement from Lethbridge College. He was an auxiliary RCMP officer from 2004 to 2009 and has served on boards involved in crime reduction. Currently, he is a volunteer referee for the sport of roller derby, and is working on trying to bring a recycling program to the Tofield area. Many of the Green Party’s viewpoints are in a alignment with how he feels country should be run. “Democracy is the key,” he said. “The current first past the post system needs to go. A more concise method of electing our representatives needs to be adopted. It is not democracy when a Party can have a majority government with only 35 per cent support of Canadians.”

“So many people in my little town have argued about the tax free savings account because nearly none of them have it. If your kids have flown the coop, you have sold your car or you have downsized your house you might have money for it. “My wife and I tried income splitting but by the time my accountant got the paper from the government there wasn’t that much difference.” Kelly

“Most average Canadians are living pay cheque to pay cheque. That is the reality. There is talk about savings and that would be great. We have a plan, I believe, but don’t hold me to this. Minimum liveable income or something very close to that. If you want more information on that please educate yourselves. It is all about ending poverty and helping seniors retire with dignity. We have a plan and the only way we are going to be able to execute that plan is if you send more Green MPs to Ottawa.” Question: Over the past few years the Canadian Wheat Board has been dismantled, all without the farmers’ vote as required by law. This April the remaining CWB public assets consisting of thousands of rail cars, inland grain and port terminals, and a fleet of Great Lakes transport ships were handed over to Saudi Arabia companies, joined with an American agri-port giant. Please explain (your thoughts) on the privatization of the Canadian Wheat Board.

“It is absolutely ridiculous. It is undemocratic and we would reverse if it we could but I think it is already a done deal so we would just try to stop things like that from happening in the future. Democracy, consultation, involving people in the constituency and getting your ideas and taking them back to Ottawa.” Sorenson

“I support the sale and disbanding of the monopoly of the Canadian Wheat Board. We have one of Alberta’s premiere organic grain farmers here today. For him to be able to develop a market anywhere in the world, in the United States, he would have had to sell to the CWB, buy it back at an inflated

cost, and then try to sell it across the border. It wasn’t working. “And we aren’t talking about getting rid of the CWB, we are talking about getting rid of the monopoly. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the other three Parties stand here and say we believe that the government should have control of Canada’s wheat. We don’t. We want value added here. That is why maltsters and pasta plants and many others are starting to pop up across the west, whereas in the past they were in eastern Canada, which was not under the CWB. “It is a good move (selling CWB) because this group has said it is going to start building elevators

out west. They said just recently that the company will invest $250 million in the CWB. The company has further plans to develop grain handling and shipping networks in the west and across the country and will build export capacity and create jobs. So now our wheat isn’t just going to Prince Rupert or Churchill, up to Hudson Bay. It now has or will have another deep water port in BC. “Our government’s broader modernization of the grain sector means jobs and growth for farmers and Canadians. And friends I can tell you I have served as member of parliament for 15 years, and for 10 years I had

nothing but calls asking to be set free from the CWB. Since it happened we have never seen such prosperity here amongst our agricultural sector. Yes there are challenges. There are challenges right now with the weather, there are challenges with the high cost of land, but there is optimism as well. There is optimism amongst the agricultural sector. “Nobody consulted our farmers when they were forced to sell their wheat into the Canadian Wheat Board and then pay a higher price to buy their own grain back.” Kowalski

“I am in the meat business, I am not in the wheat business. But any time you

divide a larger group of farmers into smaller ones Americans will, or anybody else could pick them off at much lower prices.” Swampy

“The question was why did they sell the CWB without the farmers’ vote on it? It was undemocratically gutted. The CWB was handed over: hundreds of millions of dollars of assets, developed by Canadian farmers, to the Saudi Arabia partnership with the U.S. They took everything that Canadians built and just blew it off. They sold it off to Saudi Arabia, which already controls two major parts of our economy. “There was no vote by the Canadian farmers.”

Fox named athlete of the week Continued from page 29

The fourth year bachelor of science in physical education will ponder his future after nationals. He is thinking of golf, refereeing and kinesiology. Provincials began with a two hour rain delay. When play started it was in gusting 40 to 60 kilometre winds with rain and drizzle for much of the day. The termometer said 6 C, but felt like -2 C. After the first day, the Vikings were four strokes

behind Grant McEwan. On Sunday, the weather improved and so did the Vikings. Fox and Michael Harrison played well in the late going, while McEwan’s players struggled. In the end Augustana won by two strokes. Fox took the gold medal and Harrison collected the silver. Cole Feth, who won the northern regional tournament earlier in Camrose, came in fourth. Chase Martin and Darion Geddes

golfed well enough to garner the team gold as they outplayed MacEwan’s golfers on the final day. Fox with his experience, will know what to expect at nationals and his calm demeanor will help his teammates. The Vikings will have a practice round before competing in three rounds in the national event. The nationals are slated for Oct. 13 to 16 at the Chilliwack Golf Club in British Columbia.

Alan Gerber to make an appearance at Home Routes series on October 16 Continued from page 18

“The host of the concert agrees to provide accommodation for the artist or group, as well as a meal the night before and breakfast the next day. They sell as many tickets as they can based on the space in their home. That money goes to the artist for the performance,” said Jane. “The series is set up in such a

way that if not a lot of tickets are sold, at least the artist is fed and doesn’t have to pay for accommodation. Usually 30 people attending is a good number.” Jane is co-hosting the Gerber concert where she is providing the host site. Someone else is opening their home to him. “The artists are looking for an intimate experience

where they can share their music and tell stories. It is a way for good musicians to expand their fan base, especially in different parts of the country,” she added. “This series of concerts is held in every province and is in its ninth season. Artists perform 11 concerts in about 15 days and drive from place to place.”

Other concerts are Nadine Landry and Stephen “Sammy” Lind from Yukon on Nov. 14, Red Moon Road from Manitoba on Jan. 31, Brent Mason from new Brunswick on March 1 and, as the finale, Kacy and Clayton from Saskatchewan on April 6. “This is my last year as the organizer of this event.

If someone wants to take it over, I would be more than happy to train them. I don’t want to see this end in Camrose, but I’m feeling that I need to step back at this point,” said Jane. To purchase tickets for the Gerber show, or for more information on how you can host a home concert, contact Jane at 780-672-9949.

Vikings golf leader coach of the year By Murray Green

The University of Alberta Augustana Vikings men’s golf team captured the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference championships Oct. 3 and 4 at the Desert Blume Golf Club in Medicine Hat. Augustana, through great coaching, made a comeback on the second day of competition in the windy and cold weather to earn the gold medals and a trip to nationals. Camrose Golf Club professional and Vikings head golf coach Bill Penny was named the ACAC 2015 coach of the year. He quickly turned the credit over to his team of golfers.

“It certainly was a very memorable weekend for Augustana golf. For the team to come together like they did in extremely adverse conditions was most gratifying. We were nine strokes out of first going into the back nine and ended up with a two stroke winning margin. I am extremely proud of all the team members as well as the three individual team members, who also played outstanding golf,” said coach Penny. “Having a first, second and a forth in the overall order of merit was outstanding. Going to a national championship at any level is quite the accomplishment. We are

The Augustana Vikings’ men’s golf team earned gold medals at the ACAC championship competition in Medicine Hat Oct. 3 and 4.

all very excited about going to Chilliwack.” As well as team gold, Braxton Fox won individual gold, Michael Harrison earned a silver and Cole Feth was fourth. Feth won a tournament in Camrose earlier in the season. Last year, Augustana sent its first golf athlete (Fox) to represent the university and the ACAC at the CCAA national championships. This season the entire team saw a lot of improvement. Augustana hosted its first regional championship in Camrose under the

direction of Penny and assistant coach Neil Hepburn. In only his third year coaching inter-collegiate golf, Penny has established the Vikings golf program as a consistently high performing team within the ACAC. Penny has spearheaded the development of the collegiate golf in the Camrose community by his strong leadership of junior clinics, recruiting, as well as providing Viking golfers access to Bill’s incredible contacts in the golf community. “Coach Penny has been the catalyst for rise of collegiate

golf on this campus. This is most apparent in the number of local golfers (six) that make up the eight-man roster,” said Greg Ryan, director of athletics and campus recreation at Augustana. “This alone is testimony to his teaching skills and leadership.” Chase Martin and Darion Geddes are also solid members of the provincial winning team that left Camrose on Thanksgiving day. The nationals are slated for Oct. 13 to 16 at the Chilliwack Golf Club in British Columbia.
