As they have for many decades, members of The Royal Canadian Legion and volunteers work very hard to ensure their annual Poppy Campaign, in advance of Remembrance Day, is as successful as possible. All the money raised by selling poppies and wreaths will, first and foremost, be given directly to ex-service personnel and their families who are in need. Any money that exceeds the ex-service personnel’s immediate need is donated back into the community where the money was raised in support of facilities and organizations that provide services to veterans. These donations ultimately aide the community as a whole. For many years in the past it has been used to purchase an impressive array of hospital equipment here in Camrose. Additional funds are directed to bursaries for local students, who are descendants of veterans, who may not otherwise be able to afford an advanced education. Despite all this potential good, this year’s poppy fund has brought out the worst in mankind with several poppy boxes being stolen. Wednesday, November 11, a statutory holiday, is a day of Remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve, our country during times of war, conflict and peace. Please take time out from your busy schedule to consider the sacrifices of so many.

RE-AFFIRMATION OF TWINNING AGREEMENT

Camrose Japan Friendship Society past president Michiko Rasmussen watched at a Oct. 19 meeting of City council as Camrose mayor Norm Mayer signed a document reaffirming the twinning agreement that was signed by the City of Camrose and the Town of Kamifurano, Japan, 30 years ago. The City of Camrose and the Town of Kamifurano have developed a close bond since 1985 through visits, exchanges and participation in each other’s major events. Mayor Mayer travelled to Kamifurano to participate in that community’s 100th anniversary celebration in 1997, and the Kamifurano Friendship Gardens were established on the northeast corner of Mirror Lake in 2000 to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the twinning. In 2003, the Camrose Japan Friendship Society assisted with the fundraising for a clock tower that was placed in front of City Hall, and in August 2010, the Camrose Japan Friendship Society organized a celebration to mark the 25th anniversary of the twinning, and invited a delegation of 30 from Kamifurano to participate. In July 2013, a delegation of 13 Kamifurano students, along with educational superintendent Mr. Hattori and three teachers came to Camrose for a three-night, four-day stay.

Council gets tough on pay day lending Wear By Dan Jensen City council has amended its land use bylaw with the requirement that payday lending companies be no closer together than 500 metres. The amendment means that only one more payday lending company will be allowed in the west end shopping area and that no more than two would be possible in the east end of the city. Between one and three would be allowed downtown, but the placement would have to be almost perfect to get more than one. City manager Malcolm Boyd told council that placing a proximity restriction on payday lending services through the land use bylaw is possible and legal. “Other municipalities are either moving in this direction or have implemented a proximity policy, such as the City of Lethbridge and the City of Calgary,” said Boyd, who added that the minimum required distance between payday lenders in Calgary (property line to property line) is 300 metres. According to Service Alberta, there are 35 payday lenders licenced to operate in Alberta via store front or online, including Cash Co. PDL and National Money Mart in Camrose. The lenders, which are regulated by the provincial

government, have reported over $570 million in payday loans issued in Alberta over their previous fiscal years. Data collected by the Canadian Payday Loan Association, the industry association representing lenders, reveals that payday loan company customers are predominantly the working poor – people who are employed, usually fulltime, and live near or below the poverty line. Momentum, an economic development organization that partners with people living on low incomes to increase prosperity, said in a June, 2014 report entitled The Real Cost of Payday Lending, that the majority of those taking out payday loans do so to cover ordinary expenses. “Only 28 per cent say they need the loan to cover emergencies or unexpected expenses. This is particularly troublesome as loans for routine expenses are temporary fixes, which likely result in repeated use of payday loans perpetuating the cycle of debt and poverty.” A survey of pay day loan users shows that 58 per cent chose a pay day loan over other financial options due to the quick and easy process, while 17 per cent feel they have no other alternative for borrowing.

Momentum notes that store-based payday lenders require prospective borrowers to present at a payday loan location with information about their work related earnings and a personal cheque. “A loan is issued based on a proportion of their next pay cheque and payment is provided into the customer’s bank account or in the form of cash. The customer is expected to return to the store and repay the loan by the due date. Alternatively, customers can provide a post dated cheque that includes all interest and fees associated with the loan. An additional 2.5 per cent monthly, uncompounded interest, is charged on bounced cheques. Upon successful re-payment of the loan, customers are often encouraged to take out another loan as soon as the following day.” A 2005 profile by the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada showed that most of the people taking out payday loans were men between 18 and 34 years of age, who live in western provinces, have incomes of less than $30,000 annually, and have completed some post-secondary education. “The FCAC consumer profile paints a remarkably clear picture of young men with low incomes as the pri-

mary user of payday loans,” says Momentum. “Every successful fringe financial business is no different. Payday lending businesses are more highly concentrated in low income neighbourhoods.” Canadian legislation defines a payday loan as one which cannot exceed 62 days in length and must not amount to more than $1,500 in principal. Section 347 of the Canadian Criminal Code identifies that charging more than 60 per cent annual interest is punishable by a fine and jail time. Momentum notes that while a $2,000 business licence fee is unlikely to make an existing payday lender close its doors, it may cause owners to think about opening in a new location. Momentum believes that government, especially municipal government, can play a role in encouraging mainstream financial institutions to provide shortterm, low-dollar credit at a reasonable rate of interest. The City’s strategic plan identifies developing a strategy to help address root causes and effects of poverty in Camrose as a strategic initiative. Placing proximity restrictions on payday lending services will help to achieve one of council’s objectives of addressing poverty in Camrose.

a poppy By Murray Green

The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion asks people in the community to wear a poppy in respect of Remembrance Day on Nov. 11. Poppies will be left at various businesses around Camrose and area. Funds raised go back into the community to help others. “A total of $32,300 was raised in donations from the community during the 2014 campaign with $23,932 donated back to the community (including $10,482 to St. Mary’s Hospital for two speciality stretchers, $4,800 to student bursaries, $1,500 to the local cadet units, and $395 to winning entries in the Remembrance Day poster and literary contest),” said Poppy Fund chair Barb Steinman. “Additional funds were donated directly to veterans in need of assistance.” The Remembrance Day service will be held on Nov. 11 at the Camrose Regional Exhibition starting at about 10:45 a.m. Contact the Legion to purchase your wreath for the Remembrance Day ceremony.

Basketball team is on a roll

The Vikings women’s basketball team has rolled out four straight victories after starting the season 0-2. The team swept the Concordia Thunder with a pair of 64-59 and 68-56 games on Oct. 30 and 31. Augustana won in Edmonton as Hayley Story led the scoring with 15 points and in Camrose both Syd-

ney Purdy and Torey Lauber grabbed 14 points to head the scoring list. The men won their first game of the year 83-61 over Concordia. Cameron Vilcsak sank 22 points and Darian Smigorowsky chipped in with 21 points in a solid outing. However, Augustana dropped a 76-56 game in a

disappointing rematch at home. Amitoj Rehill was the only Vikings player to hit double digits with 12 points. The Keyano Huskies provide the next home game opposition on Nov. 13 and 14. The women’s game starts at 6 and the men follow at 8 p.m. on the first day. On Saturday, the games are at 1 and 3 p.m.

On the Other Hand… Whatever happened to civility? In the late 1990’s, people began asking, “Whatever killed civility?” Basic manners began to be seriously eroded. Selfishness replaced a concern for our neighbours. Selfsufficiency caused people to neither seek nor offer help. The amusement industry allowed people to isolate themselves from others, even in the pursuit of being “happy”. It seems to have grown worse over the past two decades. Texting has replaced talking; Facebook has replaced face-to-face; communication has become a series of impossible to remember anachronisms and emojis; and, at work and at home we have started to live “cubicle-ized” lives. As families, we no longer gather around our entertainment centre, we retreat to our own living space each with our own entertainment centres. Attached garages allow us to enter and leave our homes totally detached from our neighbours. I am sure all of this contributing to the overall diluting of the notion and the practice of civility. Just as I was about to accept that premise, every day I hear… “What would you like to do today?” –“WHATEVER!” “What do you think about…?” – “WHATEVER!” “What about those Kodiaks?” – “WHATEVER!” “How was your day?” – “WHATEVER!” {Insert any question here} – “WHATEVER!” That is when I had my own insight (some might call it something else). We have used “Whatever killed civility?” as the question to which we sought an answer, but we should have stated, “’Whatever” killed civility!” The Oxford English Definition offers this modern definition: WHATEVER – used when you are saying that it does not matter what somebody does or what happens, because the result will be the same. If we believe we cannot make a difference, there is no reason to try or even care. If there is no caring, there is no civility. WHATEVER has, in my observation, become both intergenerational and intercultural. This casual, if not caustic, response to almost everything is a way of avoiding responsibility because of a deep rooted belief that it doesn’t matter. That belief, defined by “WHATEVER”, has killed civility. I have started to cringe at that expression and maybe even to mourn for our social well being. I long for the civility that has left our behavior. I long for a return to the kind of communication that breeds civility. I ask what I can do to facilitate some small change to bring back civility. In my longing and in my reflecting and in my observing and in my questioning I conclude “WHATEVER!” Wait – on the other hand, I choose to believe that I can make a difference. I choose to believe that you can and want to make a difference. I do, I choose to believe that together we can take responsibility, that we can truly care, and that we can bring back civility. We can choose to celebrate those moments of civility that we see in others. We can push those who respond “WHATEVER!” to everything to come up with a more meaningful response. WHATEVER happens, we can believe that civility is worth the effort.

Health Home: what it means to your family By Colleen Lindholm Primary Care Network

During this week of celebrations The College of Family Physicians of Canada 2015 Family Doctor Week, the Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) wants you to know the importance of having a family doctor and that you are attached to the Camrose PCN – giving you access to programs and services as part of your Health Home. Research shows that seeing a family doctor regularly as part of your Health Home keeps you healthier as you age, helps you live longer, helps prevent future illness, catches problems early before they get serious and helps keep you out of the hospital. Having a regular family doctor can help you and your family make healthy decisions and help prevent health concerns. Not only is your family doctor a reliable source of answers to your health questions, but he or she knows you and your family. General advice is not as good as specific health information relevant to your needs. Visits to your family doctor also help you stay accountable for those healthy decisions that can be hard to follow through

on; regular support can make the difference. Family doctors look to prevent health issues before they happen. They know your past health issues and your health history. When you have a family doctor, you’re more than just a stranger with a chart. You may be asking what is my Health Home? Your Health Home is not necessarily a bricks-andmortar building – it is your “health network.” A network of your family doctor, health care providers and community organizations all working together to provide you the best possible primary care. It’s where you visit your family doctor or other healthcare providers; where you receive education and support; where you have access to health programs and services that are coordinated for you and where you don’t have to re-tell your health story every visit. “Although Health Home definitions vary and continue Health Home is a family physician practice that is committed to organizing and coordinating care based on patients’ needs and priorities,” said Dr. Chris Nichol, family doctor and Camrose PCN physician lead. “The Camrose PCN and its associated family physician clin-

Dr. Chris Nichol

ics will do their best to communicate directly with patients and their families, while integrating care across settings in collaboration with healthcare professionals and key community stakeholders.” The Camrose PCN is also an important part of your Health Home. Patient centred around you and led by your family doctor who works together with healthcare professionals, the PCN is a team based approach looking at the big picture for you to get help about:

It is not just a

building, house, or hospital,” said Stacey Strilchuk, Camrose PCN executive director. “It is a priority of the Camrose PCN to ensure a good health home is organized to create the best primary healthcare value in a caring atmosphere for you as the patient, as well as an atmosphere of mutual respect and responsibility amongst patients, family physicians, healthcare and community providers.” Starting in November during Family Doctor Week, the Camrose PCN will be working hard to educate community members about their Health Home, as well as making sure they are aware of the programs and services individuals and their families can access through their Camrose PCN family doctor. Next time you visit your family doctor in Camrose, Bashaw, Tofield, Forestburg, Daysland, Killam or Hardisty, ask if you are part of the Camrose PCN. They can help you explore the programs and services within your Health Home that may be right for you. For more information about the Camrose PCN and your Health Home, visit www.camrosepcn.com.

REFLECTIONS

Letters to the Editor

by Bonnie Hutchinson I didn’t want to write this column

Back in September, a Booster reader sent me a note that said, in part… “Would like to suggest the topic of elder abuse and bullying regarding seniors. Hoping you will use the power of your pen to bring this subject to light.” I sent her a note back saying I would think about it. That wasn’t a brush-off. I really did want to think about

it before writing anything. The Booster reader wrote back a week later saying, in part, “So glad you’re considering this topic. I realize that it is a very sensitive subject…” and “Abuse and bullying can cripple people so that they often will not socialize or leave their condos and how sad that is.” The reader was correct. My heart sank. I knew that I would at some point feel compelled to write about elder abuse and bullying, and, frankly, I didn’t want to. On the morning I’m writing this, I woke up knowing this was the day to write it. There’s lots more to say, but here’s some basic information I hope you find useful.

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.

So the Lougheed Arts Center is in need of more funding to the tune of over two million dollars? What Camrose REALLY needs is a north south underpass so that the city isn’t cut in half when there is a train. When that happens, the north side has no emergency services. Can anyone say lawsuit? I think we may have our priorities wrong. We do have the Bailey which is a state of the art facility. Just my opinion. Oh, and public

transit and removing the barriers from the Grande Drive area too, since the majority want them gone – this is a democracy right? Out of 78 return responses on the city’s survey on the Grandview area barriers. 71 came back to remove them. What part of that doesn’t the City understand? I guess it must be “who you know” in our fine city. Mike Enright, Camrose

***

Elder abuse and bullying really do happen. Statistics Canada reports that between 4% and 7% of older Canadians have experienced some form of abuse. Most abuse is not reported. Shame or guilt may stop seniors from telling anyone about the abuse. Sometimes they simply do not have the physical or mental capacity to report it. Other barriers include fear, love for the abuser (especially if it’s a family member), not knowing who can help, or thinking that abuse or neglect is normal behaviour. The most common form of elder abuse is financial abuse, followed by emotional abuse and bullying. Financial abuse includes fraud, misuse of money or property, convincing an older person to buy a product or give away money, stealing, misusing bank or credit cards, or forging a signature on pension cheques or legal documents. Emotional abuse includes verbal aggression, humiliation, isolation, intimidation, threats and inappropriate control of activities or anything that diminishes elders’ identity and self-esteem. Other forms include physical, sexual, neglect and medication abuse. People who abuse elders are most often someone the older person knows. Sometimes strangers commit fraud or scams against older adults and some older adults have been physically harmed by people they don’t know. However, people who abuse and bully are most often someone known to the older person. About one-quarter of crimes against older adults are committed by family members, usually a spouse or adult child. Abusers can also include friends, neighbours, paid care providers, staff in a residence or care facility, or any individual in a position of trust or authority. Common signs that someone may be being abused or bullied include confusion, depression, anxiety, unexplained injuries, changes in hygiene, seeming fearful around certain people, and fear or worry when talking about money. And of course, you might witness someone speaking harshly to an older person, or preventing others from visiting or contacting the older person. Those are clues that financial, emotional or other abuse could be happening. Alberta has places you can call if you are being abused or if you suspect an older person is being abused. Family Violence Info Line toll-free at 310-1818 toll free operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week and provides information, advice and referrals. Safeguards for Vulnerable Adults Information and Reporting Line at 1-888-357-9339 toll-free receives and may refer for investigation concerns reported about a person in a facility that receives funds from the Alberta Government (hospital, care facility, lodge, etc.). Visit Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Network website for useful information, resources and tools. I found a short video on this website very instructive about recognizing when someone may be being abused. www.albertaelderabuse.ca ***

Next week I’ll tell you more about why I didn’t want to write this column, and some encouraging things I’ve learned in the 30 years since I first heard about elder abuse and other forms of abuse and bullying. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

KILLAM CHARITY AUCTION PROCEEDS

Larry Ness presented a cheque for $300 from the 19th annual Killam Charity Auction and Garage Sale to Camrose Women’s Shelter outreach coordinator Anita Wishart the day before Halloween, Oct. 30. The auction and garage sale was held on July 17 and 18 and raised just over $15,000 for a number of important causes. Auction items included an autographed photo of Shane Doan, a framed set of Steve Nash sports trading cards, homemade items, and many other unique treasures.

Budget raises questions about revenues Joel French, executive director, Public Interest Alberta

Alberta’s new government released its first budget today, reversing the major cuts made in the previous government’s 2015 budget released prior to the spring election and adding important investments in other areas. “The Prentice government’s pre-election budget would have resulted in larger class sizes, fewer students enrolling in post-secondary education, less capacity in our health care system, and seniors losing their drug benefits,” said Joel French, executive director of Public Interest Alberta. “We are pleased that those cuts have been reversed.” It included a new child tax benefit for all families with household incomes under $41,220. “We have been calling for a child tax benefit for

years as part of our annual analysis of child poverty in Alberta,” continued French. “Its implementation today will help families who need it the most. Like the increase to minimum wage, it is a piece of what must be a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy, which should include investments in new, quality child care spaces, affordable housing, and indexing of social assistance and Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) to the cost of living. We hope to see those other pieces in the near future.” Other positive elements included in the budget were: A commitment beginning in 2016-17 to invest substantially in more accessible and affordable child care; A reverse in the Prentice budget’s cuts to the Alberta Seniors Benefit; An end to funding for

the Affordable Supportive Living Initiative; The budget documents include a graph entitled “Alberta’s Tax Advantage”, which shows how much more revenue Alberta would generate if it had the same tax system as Canada’s other provinces. “Our government needs to stop seeing low revenues as an advantage - having lower revenues is Alberta’s disadvantage, and it has led previous governments to cut the programs Albertans rely on most, like health care, education, and supports for our most vulnerable,” said French. “The new government deserves kudos for protecting those programs in this budget, but to ensure stability for the long-term, our government needs to lead an open conversation with Albertans on what our operational budget should look like without resource revenues in the equation.”

Denise Hawkins (right), from Camrose Energy, welcomes Camrose Open Door, represented by executive director Randal Nickel and donor relations and communications director Lisa Kozak, as a community partner to the local energy company. Camrose Open Door is now benefiting from a unique program which sees 10 per cent of profits returned to the community partners of Camrose Energy. Here’s how it works: When you sign up with Camrose Energy for electricity or natural gas, 10 per cent of its profits are donated to your choice of its community partners: Habitat for Humanity, Battle River Watershed Alliance, Canadian Mental Health Association and now, Camrose Open Door, which supports at-risk youth in our community. “Our customers decide where to donate the 10 per cent profit from their bills,” says Denise Hawkins, who owns Camrose Energy with her husband Russell. “You can give back to our community just by paying your bill or you can add a top-up so that a regular amount is donated monthly to a community partner. It’s an easy way to give within your budget.” Camrose Open Door is delighted to now be one of Camrose Energy’s community partners. Randal Nickel, Open Door executive director, says “We are excited, possibly even electrified, to be a Camrose Energy Community Partner! It is a great opportunity to work with a local business interested in making Camrose a better place.” The Open Door meets the needs of youth in our community that find themselves at risk. The generous donations of many community members allowed the Open Door to provide shelter to 44, and other supports to 150+, young adults in the past 12 months. “Thank you to Denise and Russell at Camrose Energy for supporting youth in our community and opening doors to a better future.” For more information about the Open Door please see www.camroseopendoor.com.

Shriners assist Grateful Grannies Submitted

The local Battle River Shrine Club has stepped forward to help the Grateful Grannies with their annual Christmas Market fundraiser. The club made a donation to cover the rental costs of the Bailey Theatre from 1 to 4 Nov. 21. The Grateful Grannies have held this very successful fundraiser at the Bailey for the past four years. All the money raised at the event goes to help grandmothers in Africa look after their grandchildren, whose parents died of AIDS. The Grateful Grannies are a part of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign under the Stephen Lewis Foundation. The local chapter has raised more than $120,000 over the last five years. The donation by the Battle River Shrine Club will allow all the proceeds from the event to go directly to their work in Africa. The Battle River Shrine Club is part of Shriners International, the largest philanthropic organization in the world. Shriners support children, particularly through 22 children’s hospitals in the United States and Canada. The Battle River Shrine Club has members who live in many communities between Rimbey, Red Deer, Sedgewick and Sherwood Park who want to help charitable groups in their towns that serve children. It is part of their effort to think globally and act locally.

Staples provides school necessities “Warm up with this Spicy Baklouti Chili Gumbo" Bridget Vinesation Owner

Staples technician Henning Dierks, services manager Diane White, technology consultant Joan Petryk and general manager Sue Pezzutto with a few of the items that were collected during the store’s 2015 Staples was able to fill 60 backpacks and distribute them with the help of the Camrose Family Resource Centre to kids in the community that needed them the most. By Dan Jensen

Children in Camrose were able to go back to school with all the supplies they needed courtesy of Staples’ 2015 Stock the Locker fundraiser. “The $3,000 we raised from generous donors and fundraising events like Ice Cream Days allowed us to fill 60 backpacks and distribute them (with the help

of the Camrose Family Resource Centre) to the kids that needed them the most,” said Staples Camrose general manager Sue Pezzutto. “We couldn’t have been happier with all the help.” Staples believes it is important to support any causes that result in better education. “It can be overwhelming for a child to go to school with-

out the same things as his or her peers,” said Pezzutto.”The school tools kits help to put every child on equal footing, regardless of whether the kit was purchased by a parent or by Staples.” Staples’ goals will be higher when it runs the program again next fall. “We know the need to support the children is always there,” said Pezzutto.

Ingredients ts • 1/2 lb. Smoked Spicy Sausage, such as Andouille, cut into 1/2” slices • 1/2 lb. Peeled, Deveined Shrimp • 1/2 lb. Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs • 1 Large Celery Rib, finely diced • 1 Green Pepper, finely diced • 1 Red Pepper, finely diced • 6 Cloves of garlic, minced • 1 Yellow Onion, finely diced • 2 Green Onions, finely sliced • 1/4 cup Italian Parsley, finely chopped • 1 Bay Leaf • 4 cups Chicken Stock • 2 Tbsp.

Padgett portrays six artists in entertaining show By Murray Green

Entertainer Chase Padgett will be honouring six different guitarists with his 6 Guitars show at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. His concert 6 Guitars is a pitch perfect blend of music, comedy and unforgettable characters. Padgett delivers a virtuosic performance as he becomes six different guitar players with their own distinct voice, views and musical style of blues, jazz, rock, classical, folk and country. Each character plays music, shares their history with music from discovery to mastery, and then celebrates or skewers the other genres. With plenty of laughs and songs from all genres this show is for all types of music fans. “It actually all started, the show, in Orlando, Florida in 2010 at the fringe festival. That fringe festival is actually part of, oddly enough, the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals and there is this whole circuit of these theatre festivals all across Canada,” explained Padgett. “The show went so well in Orlando, that I thought about going to more festivals. Canadians treated me so well that I wanted to go back and over the years it

has gained a lot of momentum.” The one-man show has one guitar. “Through modern technology, I can play six different characters using one guitar. It’s not so much a concert, but a show using six different genres of music,” said Padgett. “Sometimes I change characters mid-song. I wouldn’t have time to put down a guitar and pick another one up.” Since the show premiered, 6 Guitars has earned numerous awards, rave reviews and standing ovations all over North America. It has relentlessly sold out houses in every festival it has appeared in and won Pick of the Fringe for both Edmonton and Vancouver. It is also one of the top five highest grossing acts in the history of the Winnipeg Fringe Festival where it sold almost 3,000 tickets in 12 days. “I wanted to challenge myself (playing six different genres of music) and the scariest thing is performing a one-man show. Imagine five years ago how scared I was,” said Padgett. “I wanted to combine characters, story telling and music because they are the three things I love into a single experience. And, that is where it started.” This show is designed to please audience of almost any

Chase Padgett

age or background. Crowds from Mississippi, Vancouver, New York and even Scotland have given 6 Guitars standing ovations due to its broad appeal. Hilarious, charming and at times surprisingly poignant, 6 Guitars is a show so good, you’ll want to see it again. “I got to see Buddy Guy play at his Chicago blues club on his birthday and not everybody gets to do that,” said Padgett. “His show inspired my to create one of the characters.” Padgett graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music and has been a full time actor and musician ever since. After providing various roles at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios including custom song

writing for special events, he started performing with the SAK Comedy Lab in Orlando, FL, as the only company member to provide support as an improviser and musician. Since the premiere of 6 Guitars in 2010, he has performed internationally, developed other solo shows and has been in several national commercials. He is currently the artist in residence at the Curious Comedy Theater in Portland, OR, and also loves live looping, a technique of recording live vocals and guitar and arranging them on the fly to create new compositions. “The idea behind the show is to showcase different styles of music and introduce them to people. Music is the thread that connects people and everyone walks away with a favourite character,” said Padgett. “Half of the songs are original material and the other half are familiar tunes that people will know.” Making an album is one thing on Padgett’s bucket list. “That is one thing I haven’t done yet and I want to make one soon, maybe next year,” he said. “I just installed a recording studio in my home, so there will be no more excuses now.” To purchase tickets, visit the Lougheed Performing Arts Centre website at www. camroselive.ca or call the box office at 780-608-2922.

September 29, 1970 – November 16, 2014 Hey Hon, it’s been a year As a guardian angel, you are showing us the way Finding happiness through family, friends and activities There is not a day that goes by that we don’t remember you or mention you We laugh at the good times Recall words of wisdom, would Mom want us doing that? Cry with frustration and wonder, why you? Why? We miss your love, warm hugs, smile and laughter You were an amazing wife and mom The strength, courage and positive attitude that you taught us Is what’s keeping us strong through these days Your memories will forever be held within our hearts We love and miss you more than words can say Love, Marty, Girls and Family

June 2, 1941 – November 14, 2014 A year has passed since that sad day When one we loved was called away Remember him with a smile today Recall to mind the way he spoke His words were wise and good His strength, his stance, the way he walked, His eyes that shone with laughter The good advice he’d give us Will never die, but live on forever In our memory you are near, Loved remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear Forever in our hearts, Shirley and family

In Loving Memory of

Victor Louis Szott Victor Louis Szott was born on February 21, 1928 to Peter and Nellie Szott of the Polska District, the oldest of eight children. Victor attended Reward School. He worked as a truck driver in the oilfield for a period of time, and then worked in the Calmar area for a season. At that time, he decided to return to farming with his dad so he could be closer to the love of his life, Helen Stokowski. Victor and Helen were married on July 4, 1953, and to this union five children were born: Elaine, Debra, Gerald, Renée and Penny. He was also blessed with 12 grandchildren: Mandy (Fletcher), Jody (Chris), Denver (Lee), Wesley (Ann), Candace (Curtis), Carlin (Monica), Aaron (Jacinda), Robyn (Owen), Riché, Jess (Jessica), Wyatt and Colby; and also 18 greatgrandchildren. Victor enjoyed motorbikes all his life. His first was a Harley and then, in later years, he had an excuse to purchase one for his son, so he could enjoy it as well. Victor’s other interests were camping, fishing and playing cards with friends and family. Victor enjoyed quadding in later years; he loved singing, music and playing the harmonica. Victor had an appreciation for nature, birds and the mountains. Farming wasn’t only his livelihood, it was his passion. Victor’s devotion to and pride of his family will not be forgotten. He leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of 62 years Helen; five children Elaine (Dennis) Wood, Debra (Kerry) Hunting, Gerald (Debbie) Szott, Renée (Michael) Hunting and Penny (Cecil) Hall; 12 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; brothers Kasper (Maryann) Szott, Bernie (Marg) Szott and Ben (Pat) Szott; sister Agnes (Lloyd) Lebrecque; numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and a host of friends. He was predeceased by his father Peter; his mother Nellie; his sisters Annie and Lillie; and brother Albin. Victor will be forever remembered for his gentle nature and pride in his children. Thank You Helen and the family of Victor Louis Szott would like to give our sincere thank you to everyone who offered comfort, support and kindness with visits, food, phone calls, flowers, cards and donations in Victor’s memory. Thank you to everyone who came from near and far to be together at his funeral. Thank you to Cam Parker and staff at Burgar Funeral Home for your compassion and professionalism. Thanks to Father Larry, Father Greg, Revered David, Mycah choir group, the alter servers and The Lefse House for your contributions to a lovely service. The family would also like to extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone at the Louise Jensen Juniper Cottage who contributed to Victor’s care and comfort. Dr. Peters, the nurses, caregivers and staff all played a part in bringing comfort to Victor and his family in the most difficult times.

The Family of

Evelyn Donalda “Donnie” Schmidt …would like to thank everyone who has been so gracious since Mom’s passing. To the gang at Burgar Funeral Home, your care and compassion were of the utmost. Thank you so much to Pastor Dan for your most fitting message, to those who did the music, to the pallbearers, Mom’s grandnephews. To all who called, came to visit, brought food and the beautiful flowers, sent cards, gave memorials and well wishes, thank you. My sincere gratitude goes to Dr. Val Smith for your dedication to both Mom and myself. You made this journey much easier, not to mention the Home Care ladies who were so understanding. To the staff who cared for Mom at Sunrise Village, I appreciate you all. Bless you! – Denise and family

CAMROSE & DAYSLAND

James Allan Roberts ( JR) It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of James Allan Roberts on October 29, 2015. Jim was 72 years old. He was born in Grenfell, SK on June 1, 1943. He was living at Hay Lakes most recently. He was known to his old friends as JR. Jim was a retired farmer and heavy duty mechanic. Most recently, he was the driving instructor for Jillian and Julie Tabler and private driver for Grace Tabler. Jim was a wonderful neighbor and friend. He took on the grandpa role for our three children and would go over and beyond the call of duty. Jim was also a great help during seeding and harvest and he was the designated parts man. He spent many hours on the internet trying to find the best deal on equipment too. Jim enjoyed life but, of late, he battled cancer. Jim will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by Jillian, Grace, Julie, Greg and Rose Tabler, as well as numerous neighbors and friends. As per Jim’s wishes, there will not be a formal funeral. Cremation has taken place. We will be honoring Jim with a luncheon on Sunday, November 22, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. in the Hay Lakes Recreation Center, Main Street, Hay Lakes, AB. I would like to take this time to personally thank the staff at St. Mary’s Hospital, Unit Four and the Palliative Care Unit. Each of you treated Jim with the utmost compassion and professionalism. Thank you to Dr. Slabbert and Dr. Sainhbee for the medical direction and pain management. I am forever grateful. I would also like to thank Dr. Magda du Plessis for taking on Jim’s medical care this past summer. If so desired, memorial donations may be made to the Palliative Care Unit, St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose, AB.

Mayor applauds decision on community mailboxes By Dan Jensen

Canada Post is temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert door-to-door mail delivery to community mailboxes. “Efforts are now underway to place the comprehensive program on hold in an orderly fashion,” said Canada Post in an Oct. 26 release. “This involves roughly 460,000 addresses across the country which are currently in the process of being converted to community mailboxes.” Camrose mayor Norm Mayer said he was happy with the news. “Mail delivery is something I think that people are entitled to,” said Mayer. “I don’t think it is fair for a lot of the senior folks to have to walk two or three blocks to get their mail. “I look at it as something that is sort of a necessary service.” Prime Minister elect Justin Trudeau said in the federal election campaign that his Party would stop Stephen Harper’s plan to end door-to-door mail delivery in Canada and undertake a new review of Canada Post to make sure that it provides high quality service at a reasonable price to Canadians no matter where they live.

CANADA POST BARBECUE RAISES MONEY FOR CHARITIES

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Canada Post Camrose barbecue volunteers Joanne Banack, left, Iris Smith and Dave Tyler served customers in the annual event to raise funds for children’s charities, school programs and local initiatives through the Canada Post Community Foundation. You can make a donation, or purchase community foundation stamps

He said it is unacceptable to make Canadians pay more for less service. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers would like to see a permanent halt to the delivery cuts and the restoration of delivery to people who have lost it since the cuts were announced in 2013. “We think it’s high time for a public review of Canada Post that allows us to consider these moves

and others,” said the union on its website. “We need a public review to discuss the future and our options for building a 21st century post office that is capable of creating new revenue streams and meeting the needs of Canadians. For example, postal banking helps keep financial services accessible and postal service viable in many parts of the world. Why not here?” Customers impacted

by the Canada Post decision will receive a letter within the next few weeks advising them of the status of their mail delivery. In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process has been completed, customers will collect mail and parcels at their community mailbox. Canada Post has indicated it will work together with the Government of

Canada to “determine the best path forward given the ongoing challenges faced by the Canadian postal system.” Canada Post introduced the community mailbox plan in 2013 as part of its strategy to compete in an increasingly digital market. According to its March update, the streamlining cut the corporation’s worked hours by about two million, or 3.2 per cent in 2014 compared with 2013.

Council approves higher franchise fees By Dan Jensen City council will be sticking with its Sept. 21 decision to increase franchise fees from six to 10 per cent for electricity and 18 to 25 per cent for natural gas starting in January. The increase will generate an additional $833,000 in revenue for improvements to City roads. “This is a fair percentage raise,” said councillor PJ Stasko in discussion at council’s Oct. 19 meeting. Councillor Wayne Throndson agreed with the need to use the increased franchise fee revenue for roads. “One thing I have learned from budget deliberations is our needs outstrip our means, so there will always be more needs and more wants than we can afford,” said Throndson. “(Using increased revenue from franchise fees) is a good attempt to tackle what is one of the largest infrastructure demands we have. I think what we have been guilty of in the past

is delaying the situation as far as road repairs to the point where it is now becoming critical. This (franchise fee) is an increase, but not an unreasonable one. If we gave the message to the public at large and we understand their problem with the roads and we are asking them to pay a little bit more to solve the problem I think they would be near unanimous (in their support).” City director of finance Grant Egerdie told council that the $883,000 would go a long way towards improving the roads. “We spend about $1.5 to $1.8 million a year on roads and that has been for 10 years. To get us to where we are actually making improvements to the roads would take $3 million a year and that is only on the arterials and collectors.” Councillor Max Lindstrand noted the increased fees will be passed on by Fortis and ATCO to Camrose residents. “To be honest it does

translate into a three per cent increase in taxes and it is a tax,” he said. “I think the bottom line we have to consider for 2016 is how much we are going to put on the backs of taxpayers. If we are going to increase our mill rate by three per cent as well we are getting to the point where it is pretty hard to defend as far as I am concerned.” Lindstrand questioned whether increasing the franchise fees is the best way to get revenue for roads. “It could be that a different source – a portion of MSI funding or some other way might be a better way to get the money. I am not denying that we need to spend money on roads, I am just not sure the best way to get it.” Council discussed delaying the implementation of the franchise fee increase to the spring in the point in order to obtain information on how the increase would affect not only the large industrial accounts but also

the educational institutions and health care facilities. “I want to make sure that our industrial and commercial users aren’t getting a break but if we are comparable to other communities we could (by increasing the fees) have an adverse impact on a larger user moving here,” said councillor Bill Sears. “If we are below market (with franchise fees) then all we are doing (with the increase) is coming up to the average market. I guess we could sell it that way.” City manager Malcolm Boyd said the current franchise fees could be marketed as a advantage to doing business in Camrose. “We haven’t been using that to our advantage to bring business here, but we could.” Councillor Lindstrand suggested that holding off on a decision to increase the franchise fees would give administration time to provide an answer on what other sources of revenue might be available for road repairs. “We haven’t explored all

the avenues of funding for roads,” he said. “I don’t have accurate info about what the gas tax revenue is for next year and what other provincial grant sources there might be for road repairs.” City treasurer Darren Lockhart told council that while increasing the franchise fees might seem like a good way to collect revenue from educational facilities and health care institutions which are not required to pay taxes might sound like a good idea, those facilities and institutions pay their bills using provincial funding. “Ultimately that can come back to affect all of us, even as taxpayers,” said Lockhart. “I think that angle needs to be considered as well. It is not just perhaps a free for all or as easy as we might hope.” The Municipal Government Act, which is the legislation that enables municipalities to charge franchise fees, allows a municipality to charge what it believes is fair for the local situation.

Durst returns to Camrose

Nightly: 7:00 pm Sat. & Sun. Matinees: 1:30 pm

By Murray Green

The Rose City Roots Music Society is bringing back Canadian blues, rock and roots guitarist, singer, songwriter and entertainer Bill Durst to Camrose due to popular demand. After a scheduling conflict, Durst had to switch to the Alice Hotel for his last performance, but he vowed to come back and play at the Bailey Theatre. That Bailey show is set for Saturday, Nov. 14, at 8 p.m. He is currently releasing Good Good Lovin and is on his fall tour to promote his blues rocking album. Most of the songs are written by Durst and Joe DeAngelis. If you like a ZZ Top style of blues rock then don’t miss this high energy show. Durst has written and recorded over 115 songs on 11 albums with seven national radio chart hits. He has opened for or shared the stage with Rush, Areosmith, BTO, Yardbirds, John Mayall, Savoy Brown, George Thorogood, Bad Company, Edgar Winter Group, Jeff Healey, Johnny Winter, Ted Nugent, David Wilcox, Bob Seger, Slade, David Clayton Thomas and, Sly And The Family Stone. As a child growing up in Wingham and then London, Ontario, Durst was heavily influenced by Motown and Toronto Psychedelic Soul music as well as the British Blues Invasion and Jimi Hendrix. Durst put out his first two solo releases in the mid-1980s, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that he got some real career momentum. His band has produced four previous full length CDs: The Wharncliffe Sessions (’05), The Great Willy Mammoth (’09), Live (‘12) and Hard And Heavy (’13). Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office or online.

A third party complaint was received that a 51-yearold woman was having troubles with her husband. Police located the couple in Edmonton and everything was fine with the couple. Two complaints received from a man with a thick accent asking for funds to assist his Jamaican family that needed funds. Both complainants hung up with the caller and did not provide and personal information. A mother contacted police advising her daughter was being assaulted by her boyfriend inside of the residence. Police attended and spoke with a 20-year-old woman and a 21-year-old man. The situation was mediated; however the man had outstanding warrants for his arrest. The man was brought before a Justice of the Peace and later released from custody.

Enrollment on the rise in Battle River School Division Diane Hutchinson, Communications, Battle River School Division

The BRSD board of trustees was pleased to hear at an October meeting that, based on the official Sept. 30 student count, the school division has 137 more students enrolled for the 2014-15 school year than in the previous year. The increase brings the student total to 6,498 and marks the end of a nearly 15 year trend of decline, which is very good news for the school division and its communities. Rural School Communities Survey School communities in the counties of Beaver, Camrose and Flagstaff will be receiving a survey during the month of November. The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file for parents, students and staff members. The survey will take place in two phases. The first phase will begin in early November and be open about two weeks. It will ask participants to answer three questions regarding what they appreciate about their school, the challenges their school faces and what they would like students to receive at school that they currently cannot. Responses will be compiled and then sent back out to the original email list, so people can prioritize the comments. At the end of the survey, the board will have a very good sense of what our rural communities see as the most critical issues. This will help in their planning process for the years ahead.

This survey will be administered by a company called Thoughtexchange, which receives and compiles all the data received. No individual comments or identifying information will be shared with the school division. Emails that you receive will come under the name of board chair Lorrie Sitler. Calendar Survey Later this fall BRSD will distribute two or three calendar options for the 2016-17 calendar year. Parents, students and school staff are invited to vote on their choice of calendar. Learning from others Members of the Battle River School Division have been meeting with and learning from others this fall. Board chair Lorrie Sitler and superintendent Rita Marler had the opportunity to meet with Minister of Education David Eggen on Oct. 5 and Ms. Sitler was also given the opportunity to meet MLAs recently. In addition, representatives of the board met with all of BRSD’s school council chairs on Oct. 14 and will be gathering with all other school board trustees from across Alberta at the Alberta School Boards Association fall conference in November. BRSD also participated in a conference call with the Education Minister on Oct. 27 to learn more about the effect of the provincial budget announcements on education funding. More budget details will be available in the weeks ahead, as the school division works to finalize its budget plans for the current school year and

submit them to the province by the end of November. It’s awards season! BRSD trustees have been honoured to attend awards ceremonies at schools throughout Battle River in recent weeks, in order to help celebrate students who have achieved excellence in academics, athletics and citizenship. The school division also hosted its annual employee recognition banquet in October to celebrate about 90 staff who achieved milestones of service during the 2014-15 school year. Mentoring newcomers With a significant number of BRSD teachers and school administrators moving closer to retirement age,

it’s important for the school division to be planning for succession. Last year BRSD brought in nearly 50 new teachers and there are almost 30 more in the current school year. The school division has been offering mentorship to those first and second year employees, to help ensure they get a positive start on their teaching career. BRSD is also offering mentorship to new administrators, as well as offering a training program called Aspiring Leaders, to help current teachers interested in becoming administrators gain skills and get a good sense of what’s required to be a successful school leader. Results being reviewed The board of trustees

recently reviewed the 201415 achievement results. Like the rest of Alberta, it was identified that numeracy should be an important BRSD focus for improvement in the years ahead. BRSD has already put plans in place to emphasize numeracy skills at all grade levels, similar to the focus that is already in place to ensure students obtain and maintain high quality literacy skills that will help them achieve in school and far beyond. The annual Educational Results Report and Three Year Plan will be submitted to the province by the end of November, as well as posted on the BRSD website.

2016 Jeep Wrangler Standing tall as Canada’s best small SUV

Noel Skoglund By Dan Jensen

The 2016 Jeep Wrangler at Camrose Chrysler continues to stand tall as Canada’s best-selling small SUV. Jeep Wrangler is born with the athletic ability to navigate narrow gaps and dodge emergency situations with precision steering, optimized wheelbases and a tight turning radius. Suspension systems enhance on- and off-road performance by maximizing flexibility, axle articulation and wheel travel, while electrical and body seals and a high air-intake system let you traverse that stream with confidence. Every Wrangler is fortified with underbody armour that protects critical components. Stamped steel skid plates defend the fuel tank and transfer case, while a skid bar safeguards the automatic transmission oil pan. Durability and articulation cone firm heavy shafts, shift housing, large pinion bearings, and abovecentre pinion mountings. The above-centre mounting helps reduce driveshaft joint angles for smooth and quiet operation while adding ground clearance. Front sway disconnect allows you to flip a switch

to disengage the sway bar when driving under 29 km/h in 4WD-low mode, permitting the front suspension to travel up to 25 per cent farther. Roomy interior

Wrangler’s roomy cabin adds advanced technology and fine features for comfortable travel. The Tjp ‘n Slide front passenger seat on Wrangler two-door gives easy access to the second row. The available leather-wrapped steering wheel holds convenient hands-free buttons for the Electronic Vehicle Information Centre, audio and speed control. Easily clean leftover interior mud and grime thanks to Wrangler’s removable carpet and drain plugs. Choose your multimedia centre with offerings front UConnect, including hands-free communication with voce command, voice text reply, navigation and Sirius XM satellite radio. Turn your four wheels into a hard beating boom box with the available new Alpine premium audio system with eight speakers plus subwoofer, all powered by a 552-watt amplifier. Wrangler’s interior seats, available in either premium cloth or leatherfaced, are designed to stand up to all kinds of sitting

down. With plenty of cushion and support, you’ve got more stamina to keep on going. Interior courtesy lights include illuminated front foot wells and cup holders, while an available electromagnetic rearview mirror automatically darkens to help minimize the blinding glare of headlamps. A bin beneath the rear cargo area floor features a lift-out tray to safely store door and hardtop bolts. Two-door models feature a removable fold-and-tumble rear bench seat with spring assist that easily tumbles to make more room for cargo. Four-door models come standard with a split-folding rear seat. Jeep’s Sunrider Soft Top utilizes special threeply material that’s quiet, watertight and easy to fold away. The premium Sunrider Soft Top adds durability and sound dampening for a quieter ride. Plus, a dust blocker helps keep it in tiptop shape and makes it easier to wash. The Freedom Top Hardtop is strong and secure. Available in a black spackle coat, or matched to the exterior paint colour of your Wrangler Sahara or Rubicon. More power

The award-winning 3.6

litre Pentastar V6 engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) roars to life, delivering a best-in-class 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. It moves forward with a unique oil pan, an acoustic engine cover, optimized upper intake airflow for torque, and equal-length downpipes to assist low- and mid-range torque response. The front end accessory drive and high-mounted rear-facing alternator enhance water fording capability. Its pulsewidth-modulated 600-watt fan is 100 per cent variable speed, not just high and low, plus it has a full-face condenser for better air conditioning performance and a stand-alone transmission oil cooler. The Pentastar comes standard with an exceptionally capable six-speed manual, or you can opt for the smooth-shifting five-speed automatic. This strategically optimized automatic transmission helps maximize fuel economy while its low first-gear ratio gives Wrangler authentic Jeep brand off-road capability via a lower overall crawl ratio. The Command-Trac 4WD system employs the NV241 GII transfer case, delivering smooth and quiet

part-time shift-on-the-fly operation, and comes standard on Sport and Sahara models. For those who demand ultimate capability, Wrangler Rubicon with its standard Rock-Trac 4WD system delivers radical crawling strength at low speeds for greater control over tough terrain. Peace of Mind

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) assists drivers in maintaining control by utilizing hydraulic brake assist, traction control, Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and Trailer Sway Control (TSC)to constantly monitor driver input against the vehicle’s actual course. If needed, ESC automatically brakes and/or reduces engine torque, while ERM estimates the potential for wheel lift, reducing engine power and applying the brakes if needed. TSC detects sway unique to trailering and engages the brakes to slow the vehicle, increasing brake force to one side of the vehicle to help counteract the sway from the trailer. You can drive the 2016 Jeep Wrangler by visiting Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 East, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2476 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Kodiaks rally to win after bad start against Mustangs By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks were down 3-0 to the Calgary Mustangs before realizing they were in a hockey game on Oct. 31. On Halloween, it was the horses that spooked the bears by scoring 50 seconds into the game and then adding two more tallies before nine minutes were played. Mackenzie Bauer notched a goal with four seconds left in the period to launch a comeback by the Kodiaks. The bears collected seven straight goals as Camrose haunted the Mustangs for the rest of the game. “Things were not working out in Lloydminster as I had hoped. I was lucky enough to come to a good team like Camrose. I really like it here so far,” said Bauer about the trade that brought him to the Kodiaks. “I really like the way Boris (coach Rybalka) coaches. He really cares about his players and he wants them to get to the next level. He takes the extra time to develop players.” In the middle frame, Braeden Salverda, Nelson Gadoury and newcomer Paul Lovsin notched single markers to give the Kodiaks the lead for the rest of the match.

“I like to class myself as a two-way forward. Coach seems to trust me and puts me out there in all situations, which is great for me,” said Bauer. “We have a quick and fast team and we gel really well together, which helps us on the ice.” Salverda and Bauer both added their second of the night in the third on power play opportunities. Scott Ferguson also chipped in with a single tally. “It wasn’t tough to make the transition to Camrose,” said Bauer. “Everyone accepted me right away, which made it easier. We have a lot of character guys on this team who can take us a long ways. We have no egos and everyone is focused on the team, which is great.” Goalie Brodan Salmond struggled early and made five saves on eight shots. Veteran Patrick Gora came on in relief and turned away 14 of the 15 shots he faced. Camrose fired 53 at the Calgary net. Bauer attended a Kodiaks camp when he was still a midget, so he knew the organization is committed to striving for excellence. Kodiaks assistant coach Blair Becker also watched him at Team Alberta tryouts.

Defenceman Max Salpeter attempts to block this shot for his Camrose Kodiaks goalie Brodan Salmond.

The Brooks Bandits also stole the show early and built up a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes on Oct. 30. Cole McBride scored with a man advantage in the last minute of the first for the only tally for Camrose. The focus has to be there when the puck is dropped. “It starts with preparation before the game. You want to have a nice warm-

up and be really to go at game time. You don’t always want to play from behind,” suggested Bauer. “In this league it doesn’t matter who you are playing, you have to be ready to play a full 60 minutes.” The Kodiaks rallied in the third with markers from McBride and Lovsin to force overtime. When neither club could score in the extra frame, a shoot out determined the outcome

and Brooks skated away with a 4-3 win. Gora made 36 of 39 saves. Camrose outshot the Bandits 47-39. Bear facts Camrose hosts the Calgary Mustangs on Nov. 10 in a 7 p.m. game in the EnCana Arena. The Kodiaks are then on the road for four games before the next home contest on Nov. 26 against the Okotoks Oilers.

Runner McIlroy named to All-Conference Team By Murray Green

Augustana’s Emily McIlroy was named to the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference Cross-country Running AllConference Team. She will represent both the Vikings and Alberta at nationals. McIlroy came in sixth place at the provincials in Lethbridge in the five kilometre run on Oct. 31. She had a time of 20:09 in the race won by Jamie Wigmore of Grande Prairie in 18:40. “Emily had a great race and that was exciting to see. Matthieu (Martin) also improved a lot, just like she has,” said Vikings assistant coach Robert Renman. “Most of our runners had their fastest times of the year and I was happy with the improvement they showed all year.” Vikings teammates Anna Sigurdson placed 13th, Taya Hoar, 18th, Brianna Schultz 31st, Leah Reid in 32nd and Tayla Koerber 33rd. In the men’s eight kilometre run, Alex Harding of Lethbridge crossed the finish line in 26:07. Augustana’s top runner was Matthieu Martin in 12th place in 28:49. He was joined by Joedy Dalke in 14th, Jonathan Fuller in 18th, Erik

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Katelynn Cook of Augustana finishes her ACAC race strong.

Rust in 20th, Michael Cole in 25th and Joe Sartison in 26th. “We had a battle with SAIT for making the top five as a team that we lost out

on. But I can’t be sad because we had so many runners with big improvements as we head to nationals,” added Renman. The runners along with

coaches Gerhard Lotz and Renman will be making the trip to nationals. “It has been a good year for us and we had a lot of progress,” said Renman. “Hopefully, most of them come back next year. Going to nationals is an inspiration for them and it will be exciting for them to be motivated and want to go again next year.” Brockville is a smaller city like Camrose and the Augustana runners should enjoy the rural setting. The CCAA nationals are in Brockville, Ontario Nov. 13 and 14. Hockey The Augustana Vikings hockey team crushed the Briercrest Clippers 13-3 and 9-0 in a two game series in Camrose Oct. 30 and 31. Connor McLaughlin led the charge on offence with five goals and an assist. He received help in scoring from Boyd Wakelin with two, Mason Spear, Evan Warmington, Beau Taylor, Alex Rogers and Scott Swiston in the first contest. Goalie Curtis Skip stopped 15 of the 18 shots he faced. The Vikings had 47 shots on goal.

In the rematch, the Vikings wore down Briercrest goalie Levi Nelson, who was the busiest, if not the best, player on the ice. Jeff Lorenz led the scoring with two tallies. Single markers came from Wakelin, Taylor, McLaughlin, Warmington, Swiston, Corey Kosloski and Tanner Korchinski. Goalie Harry Fredeman made all 20 saves he had to in earning a shut out. Augustana fired 55 shots at Nelson, who was almost unbeatable in the first 40 minutes. The score was 1-0 after the opening period and 3-0 after the second frame. McLaughlin was named one of the athletes of the week in the ACAC for his five-goal game. It marked back-to-back weeks the hockey team had the top athlete. Corey Kosloski earned the honours the week before with his gamewinning efforts. The Vikings travel to Fort McMurray for a two game series with Keyano on Nov. 13 and 14. Augustana hosts the Red Deer Kings on Nov. 20 at the EnCana Arena in the next home game at 7:30 p.m.

Letting your vehicle idle could do more harm than good

By Murray Green How long you should let your vehicle warm up depends on the temperature. In warm temperatures letting your vehicle run idle for more than 30 seconds will actually do more damage than good. When the temperature is above freezing, the best way to warm up is to drive the vehicle at a moderate pace. When the temperature is below freezing 30 seconds is enough to allow for complete circulation of engine oil. Warm-up time is also determined by the effectiveness of defrosting – do not drive if you can’t see clearly out of the windshield. Again, driving the car (slowly to moderately) is † the best way to warm up in this range. Wheel bearings, steering, suspension, transmission, catalytic converter and tires also need warming ON MOST 2015 RAM 1500 TRUCKS IN TOTAL DISCOUNTS up. The only way to do that is to drive the vehicle. In extreme cold, idling the engine for a period of † one to three minutes can become necessary, allowing thickened engine oil to adequately circulate throughout the engine. You will also need increased time for defrosting/deicing. However, more than three minutes even in these conditions is considered excessive. New gadgets can contribute to the over-idling. Remote vehicle starters encourage excessive RAMTRUCKOFFERS.CA idling, so in general, avoid using them. If you like the handy device then keep in mind the 30-second rule.

Winter On The Road Idling your car could be harmful Continued from page 28

Protect yourself adequately from the elements with warm clothing rather than relying on the heater. For non-garaged vehicles, be prepared with window scrapers that work, brushes and spray de-icer. When necessary, clear snow and scrape/de-ice windows before starting. Then start the engine and immediately blast the defroster. In most cases, you’ll be ready to go in 30 seconds. Remember safety first, if defrosting is not adequate, wait another minute or so. Lower your cost with a less toxic alternative to commercial spray de-icer. Make your own solution in a spray bottle mixing one part water to two parts rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) along with a few drops of dish detergent. Diesel engines Heavy-duty diesel (commercial trucks and buses; school buses) should not be treated much differently. Diesel engine manufacturers in general recommend no more than three to five minutes of idle time. But there are idling reduction alternatives to consider. Use electric engine heaters (such as block heaters) to minimize idling time during warm-up, especially in cold weather. Install a small generator or auxiliary power unit (APU) specifically designed for a truck that provides heat, air conditioning and/ or electrical power, while the vehicle is not in motion. These devices are a better, more efficient alternative to idling as they use substantially less fuel and emit less pollution. Depending on fuel cost and the amount of time spent idling, the payback on these devices can be six months to a year or more. Turn off your vehicle when not in use. Any more than 10 seconds of idling uses more fuel than is required to restart the engine. However, the breakeven time to offset any potential incremental maintenance costs to the starter or battery is 30 seconds. So, as a guideline, if you’re stopped out of traffic for more than 30 seconds turn off the engine. Engine manufacturers also recommend to shut down and restart at least several times a day rather than continuous idling to save fuel and engine wear. Generally, fuel consumption during engine start-up or restarting of medium- and heavy-duty engines is equivalent to about 30 seconds of idling.

Prepare now for winter driving Now’s the time to get your car ready for the demands placed on it in the coming winter months. Especially in rain, sleet, freezing rain, and maybe snow, you’ll want your vehicle to start and run reliably. And you’ll want your driving experience to be as safe and comfortable as possible. Here are some things to check to make your winter driving safer and more secure.

Start Most important, you’ll want your car to start reliably every time. While routine tune-ups are not what they used to be, your vehicle still needs to have new spark plugs installed periodically. Installing new spark plugs will help assure quick starts even in very cold weather, when battery power can be severely compromised.

Look Visibility is critical to safe driving, and it’s doubly important when snow, sleet, and ice obstruct vision. For that reason, safer visibility in extreme winter driving conditions demand the best wiper blades you can buy. Listen Certainly you should listen to the advice of your trusted repair shop when it comes to safe and proper maintenance of your vehi-

cle. Your mechanic knows your car and its history, and is best qualified to recommend needed parts and service. Shops must meet strict standards for technician training, shop equipment, and customer relations, and be able to diagnose and troubleshoot the most advanced electronic safety and engine management systems. Keep your car ready to beat the cold!

ered from the thefts that occurred the previous night from various east end businesses in Camrose. All of the property seized by police was returned to the rightful business owners. Police are still investigating the matter.

Brandon Liang wasn’t finished competing against some of the best mechanics in the world after high school and the Skills Canada events. “After nationals I received an invitation to join trials for Team Canada 2015. From October 2014 to midFebruary 2015 I trained for the trials. It was a test to see if you were ready to compete for Team Canada at the world stage,” explained Liang, who trained at SAIT and Red Deer College. “They took the world skills competition from 2013 and tested it on me. I went through a four day competition on my own, just like a real competition.” After going to SAIT for apprenticeship classes and Ford training he moved on to represent Team Canada in competition with people from around the world. “Darcy Wallace was both my instructor at SAIT and on Team Canada, so that worked out well. He also arranged for other instructors to help me with training. I finished that with a 79 per cent and the minimum I needed was 50 per cent, so I received the official invitation to Team Canada.” A few weeks later he was off to Ottawa for a team meeting where he met other members representing Canada in various skills. The team of 29 members were from different trades across the country. “Each trade had one trainer and there was one expert who was in contact with world skills to help us with what we had to train for,” Liang said. “Martin Restoule from Algonquin College in Ottawa was my expert.” In March, the team had a couple of days to go over the world event. The Lamb Ford apprentice auto mechanic then went back to finish his second year of apprentice training. “I was at classes during the day and then at night I went to see Darcy for his training for the world competition. I worked with some third year students to get familiar with the material. It was like taking my second and third year of apprentice together.” Continued on page 31

Winter On The Road Liang sent to Brazil to compete for Team Canada in mechanics

Jackie Rae always brings a smile to work.

Continued from page 30

Then Liang went for training at Ford in Edmonton and then off to Vancouver for training in Volkswagon vehicles. “The world skills event uses Ford, Volkswagon and Toyota, so that is why I spent a week in Vancouver,” Liang said. “Volkswagon trained me in electrical and networking.” All the training earned him a trip to worlds in San Paulo, Brazil. “It was unbelievable and took a few months to sink in. I made Team Canada and now I was going to Brazil in August. It was like the Olympics, that is the only thing I could compare it to,” said the Lamb Ford employee. “The venue was like the Edmonton expo centre, but was a huge tent. Competition was for four days and we were there for 10 days. The hotel was right on site. There were 1,200 participants and a lot of spectators.” Liang came in 12th in the world in a division of about 45 competitors and received a medallion of excellence for finishing with a mark of 83 per cent or higher. “I received an 84 or 85, so I just made that,” he shared. “I’m very happy with that for the experience that I have. At 19 years old, I was one of the youngest competitors there. Most of the guys I was competing against were journeymen mechanics.” Laing was caught in a dilemma of going this year or waiting a year. “Waiting might have given me more worldly experience, but I would have to go through the entire process again. I thought I was well prepared and thankful to go and represent my country. I thank everyone who helped me along the way in my journey, starting with CCHS teacher Kevin Nagy.” Lamb Ford and the staff were very supportive and that meant a lot to him during his journey. “It was a huge jump start to my career,” said Liang. “I have done a lot and I’m only 19. I feel more comfortable working on vehicles and I am so appreciative of those who helped me.”

No matter how tough the job, her attitude is positive.

It’s her can-do spirit that keeps her going strong!

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.

Shoebox program helps those less fortunate By Murray Green

Camrose residents can bless impoverished children with Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. The annual Operation Christmas Child shoebox collection season (an annual initiative of Samaritan’s Purse Canada) started with thousands of individuals, families, churches, businesses, sports teams and community groups packing shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, personal notes and photos. Thanks to each $7 donation from generous Operation Christmas Child supporters, the program is able to deliver the gift-filled shoeboxes to children around the world living in the midst of poverty, disease, war and natural disaster. Last year, local residents filled 2,057 shoeboxes (up from 1,388 the previous year) with gifts that shared God’s love and hope with children in the developing world. “This year the goal is to hit 2,500 filled shoeboxes,” said logistics coordinator Tammy Grose. Shoeboxes are given as unconditional gifts regardless of the child’s race, religion or gender. When given, they often open doors for Samaritan’s Purse to work with local community leaders in identifying and addressing other needs, such as clean water, literacy and vocational training for women and school meals for children. National Shoebox Collection Week is Nov. 16 to 22. Each gift-filled shoebox packed, donated and delivered to one of hundreds of collection centers throughout Canada by Nov. 22 will make a long journey into the arms of a needy child in Haiti, Latin America, or West Africa. “Due to customs regulations, all food including candy, is no longer allowed in shoeboxes,” added Tammy. “Unfortunately, that means no toothpaste as well,” said communications member Shauna Chrabaszcz. People are asked to pick up a box and brochure with the details of what items are needed and which ones can’t be included. After stocking the shoeboxes with items, people are asked to return them to the collection site from which they were received. The local organizers are asking for the boxes to be back at the drop off points early, such as Nov. 16, so they can be packaged and trucked to Calgary by Nov. 22. Continued on page 36

Come Share the Magic at Festival of Trees Continued from page 21

The Camrose Festival of Trees has come a long way as a family-oriented event since it was first held in 1995. “It is not unusual for us to get 10,000 to 15,000 people through the doors, some from as far as Saskatchewan,” said Lee. Planning for this year’s Festival of Trees began as soon as the 2014 event ended. “We learn a little bit more each time we do it and are always tweaking things,”

said Lee. “We buy our own decorations and things for the next festival in the weeks leading up to Christmas.” The Festival in Trees has given $45,000 to children’s organizations, the Merry Christmas Cheer Fund and the Battle River Community Foundation since 2010, as well as food and monetary donations to the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center Food Bank. “We take one dollar off the cost of admission if people make a donation or bring

a non perishable item for the food bank,” said Lee. Festival sponsors include Camrose Chrysler, McTavish Deliveries, Central Agencies and 840 CFCW. “We can’t thank our sponsors enough,” said Lee. “We wouldn’t be able to do this without them.” More information about the 2015 Festival of Trees may be obtained by going to the CRE website and clicking on the Festival of Trees link.

“There is a girl from our church (Century Meadows Baptist Church) that went to a country to help deliver the boxes and she has great stories to tell on how much the children appreciated the gifts,” added Shauna. “It brings tears to your eyes just listening to the stories.” The children’s excitement fills the air. “They are so excited to receive gifts and some of them don’t have parents. It makes a huge difference in their lives,” said Tammy. The organizers are hoping that the schools, churches and businesses in the area help them out by taking on a project to fill some shoeboxes. “The destination for the shoeboxes that are coming from Alberta are Haiti, Nepal, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone, Equitorial Guinea and the Ukraine,” said Tammy. “We have a cold country, Ukraine, this year, so Canadians are excited to share their mitts, toques and scarves as well. Cold country boxes need to be labeled Ukraine. Labels can be printed off from the Samaritans Purse website, or you can just write Ukraine on the box.” Filling a shoebox is easy and particularly exciting when you include your family. You have to decide whether to help a boy or girl, choose an age category, purchase a variety of small gifts, school supplies or hygiene items. Fill a shoebox, add a label and secure it with an elastic band. If possible, enclose a $7 cheque per box for shipping and handling and include a photo with a brief note. Photos bring reality and hope of a loving world beyond theirs. Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes and brochures can be picked up at Century Meadows Baptist Church at 3720-66A Street. The boxes need to be to the drop off points by Nov 16, or they can be dropped off at the church during collections week. Return hours for the drop off points are from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. from Nov. 16 to 22. Other pick up and drop off points are at McClellan Wheaton, Camrose Cycle, Richardson’s Jewellery, Crafty Crafters, Saigon Rose (pick-up only), Petersen’s Florists, Shirt Off Your Back, From Kicks to Kids, The Brick, Soap Stop and Century Meadows Baptist Church. For more information on filling a shoebox call 780-672-3230, or if you wish to fill one online visit www.samaritanspurse.ca.

Movember promotes awareness By Dan Jensen

Movember is a fun way to promote the importance of age-appropriate prostate cancer screenings. Participants start the month clean shaven, but grow and groom their mustaches the rest of the month. The mustaches, especially on men who don’t usually have one, are a conversation starter. When somebody says something about it, that’s an opportunity to say ‘I’m growing it to raise awareness about prostate cancer and the need for ageappropriate screenings.’ With prostate cancer, there are no symptoms until the disease is in advanced stages. Because most prostate cancers can be cured if they are discovered early, routine screenings are imperative. Screenings consist of a digital rectal exam and a blood draw to check the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA). It’s important to get both the exam and the PSA test because with many men, suspicious findings are detected by one and not the other. Men should begin annual cancer screenings at age 40 – earlier if there is a family history of prostate cancer. One in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives. Women can’t grow mustaches, but they can encourage the men. Women are very important because they are the ones who often insist that the men in their lives see their doctors.

Raising awareness of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Open Door Association and McMan Youth Family and Community Services Association served cake and mocktails on FASD (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder) Awareness Day . “I don’t know if it is a growing problem, but it is a concern, even with all the information that is out there,” said Camrose Open Door Association FASD coordinator Arlene Murray. “Women still aren’t getting the message that they shouldn’t be consuming any alcohol during pregnancy. They will drink at the beginning of their pregnancy and they will continue to drink throughout.” Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder is an umbrella term used to describe problems ranging from physical birth defects, health problems and developmental delays to learning disabilities, memory problems and difficulty communicating feelings or understanding consequences. “It’s sad because it can be prevented simply by not drinking any alcohol during pregnancy,” said McMan Youth Family and Community Services counsellor Sherri-Lee Marshall.

Sherri-Lee Marshall and Arlene Murray served mocktails to convey the message that women should not be drinking alcohol if they are pregnant.

Camrose Open Door Association and McMan Youth Family and Community Services provide inhome support for adults and children who have FASD.

“We help with assessment and diagnosis and then find the appropriate support services in the community to ensure they are successful in school,
