It’s an exciting time for Camrose Women’s Shelter. On Thursday, Nov. 26th the Shelter will celebrate
three decades of service
to the community. The safe housing facility in Camrose serves a large geographic area including many rural communities, and is always busy. From April 2014 to March 2015 alone, 400 women and children sought the security offered by Camrose Women’s Shelter and 995 crisis calls were handled locally on the 24-hour crisis line. The mood of the Board, management and staff of the Shelter is truly upbeat these days. The new NDP provincial government has boosted funding for this facility along with 43 other facilities of its type in the province. With a seven percent boost to its operating budget, money is now available, locally, to hire 3.5 additional staff. The number of funded beds run by the shelter has increased from 17 to 20, with a total capacity for 22 women and children.

How does this simulated virtual golf work? It’s simple. Using your own club, you stand and hit the ball into an image on a big screen. Your ball is shown flying and landing (hopefully on the fairway or the green!) and the simulator tells you how far you hit it and how far you are away from the hole. The chipping and putting work the same way.
It’s really fun!

City projects 2.8 per cent hike in 2016 tax levy By Dan Jensen
The City of Camrose is proposing to increase the tax levy by 2.8 per cent in 2016. A preliminary operating budget presented to City council Nov. 16 projects 2016 expenditures of $24,111,459, (up from $23,035,286 in the 2015 budget), and revenue growth of $420,000. The projected transfer to capital surplus is $1,749,600. City manager Malcolm Boyd told council that the amount of the tax levy increase could still change between now and Dec. 7 when the budget is presented for final approval. Boyd said all stakeholders were cognizant of the economic pressures when the budget was prepared. “The budget was created with input from all departments. There was a focus on transparency. One process change this year is that business cases were requested in order to justify any new or significant budget items.” The budget includes a major injection of funding in critical infrastructure such as roads, water and wastewater. “We plan to invest just over $30 million in roads over the next 10 years,” said Boyd. “The recent change in our franchise fee structure will provide some additional funding and all that revenue is going to be used for road rehabilitation.” The budget also sets aside funds for the $40 million in waste water improvements that have been planned prior to 2020. “Obviously some debt is required in order to help fund some of the capital infrastructure projects but where possible the approach is to accumulate reserves using grant funding,” said Boyd. “In other words, spend it when we have got it is the approach on capital projects.” The City will be setting aside significant funding for the refurbishment of the Camrose Aquatic Centre and the Camrose Public Works facility. “I would just reiterate refurbishment rather than replacement,” said Boyd. “The replacement of those facilities is outside of the ten year window at this point.” The budget does not include any net change in staffing levels but does refocus resources to other areas.

City plans to spend more on public transit in 2016 By Dan Jensen
The City of Camrose budget for public transit could be receiving a considerable injection of new money in 2016. City Council gave indications at its Nov. 16 Committee of the Whole meeting that it is prepared to put $50,000 towards the current taxi subsidy program, $80,000 towards the operation of a pilot bus project operated by either the Rose City Handivan Society or a newly created Seniors Transit Society and $120,000 towards a transportation contingency fund. The $80,000 would increase the funding for the Rose City Handivan Society from the currently budgeted $60,800 to $140,000. Council is anxious to get the bus service going after receiving the donation of a 15 passenger van with space for two wheelchairs, and hopes that with additional $80,000 the Rose City Handivan Society could look after the operation and administration. Councillor Bill Sears feels the Handivan Society is the natural choice to operate the new bus service. “It would be the most efficient because they have the expertise and they have
the staff,” said Sears. “We could add another unit to their fleet, add some more dollars, give them some more personnel and let them go at it. Somehow or other we have to get them involved in this discussion.” A current hold back is the Handivan Society’s mandate to provide transportation to only those who are disabled. Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer envisions a situation where the bus would make scheduled stops at certain lodge locations in the morning to take residents and other individuals to appointments or shopping and then return them in the afternoon. “We wouldn’t run on an hour or an hour-and-ahalf basis and cover all the locations. That is not in the cards,” said Mayer. Sears agreed that a doorto-door bus service would not be economical to operate. “My concern with the scheduled bus service would be ridership,” he said. City manager Malcolm Boyd reported that previous attempts to implement any form of public transit have failed. “In summary it is expected that a high level of service
would be required (i.e. the number of routes and frequency) in order to attract adequate levels of ridership,” he said. “The cost associated with this level of service would be prohibitive. Any lesser level of service would be underutilized. In other words, if residents have to wait too long for a bus or if the bus route does not go to their preferred destination, they will use an alternative form of transport.” Councillor Wayne Throndson said it is important that council have a discussion with the Handivan Society in the new year to see if it would be willing to change its mandate and operate the bus. “(Having the Handivan Society operate the bus) would be my preference. It seems to be the most seamless way of providing increased service to a segment of our community.” Mayor Mayer feels there is very little about the Handivan Society mandate that would have to be changed. “The main problem is that it is very specific; you have to be handicapped. What we are looking at is the ability for people who can walk on and also be trans-
ported. That is really the long and short of what you have to do to accommodate the extra people.” Councillor Hoveland said the City and the Handivan Society need to explore different ways they can work together for the benefit of Camrose residents. The City’s taxi subsidy provides tokens valued at $4 to Camrose agencies which can be redeemed for a portion of the cost of hiring a cab. The program has cost the City approximately $10,000 since it was started in mid September. “The feedback we have received from the community agencies is about what we expected,” explained Camrose Transit Advisory Committee chair Tony Hladun. “We started with 12 agencies and we are up to 20 now.” At Augustana, the tokens are being distributed mainly to foreign students who don’t have any form of transportation. Councillor Sears said that no matter what the option, it is important that the City of Camrose look after the needs of seniors. “I have heard loud and clear from that group that
transportation is something they need. We had a petition from Wildrose Villa in the spring that had 600 names on it. I have stood in front of several of those groups and every one of them tell me how they need some sort of transportation system. I think what Mayor Mayer is envisioning (a bus service) will go a long way towards giving those people what they are asking for. It doesn’t have to be every day but it is a scheduled bus system that will come to their door, pick them up and take them to things like the clinic or shopping or even another facility to visit their friends.” The scheduled bus system could reduce the number of taxi tokens that are handed out. “With the seniors bus system that would go down,” said Hladun. “It is hard to say how the two would share the load.” Mayor Mayer said that in order to be consistent the people riding the bus would be expected to pay a small $4 charge. “I don’t think we want to be in competition with the subsidized taxi system and we don’t want to be in competition with the handivan.”

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, November 24, 2015 – Page 6
Women’s Shelter has been embraced by community By Laurel Nadon
It was obvious within 24 hours after the Camrose Women’s Shelter opened its doors in January 1985 that the service was needed. That’s the amount of time it took for the shelter to take in its first family. Within one year, the shelter was booked to its capacity of 17 beds. Now the shelter is preparing for a 30th anniversary celebration on Nov. 26 and taking a look back at the role the shelter has played in the community. Executive director Nora-Lee Rear says that the biggest change has been the attitude of community members towards the shelter. The first location selected to build the shelter was turned down after neighbours lobbied against it. Community members voiced the opinion that there wasn’t a need for such a facility. “Over the years, I think that’s changed and the community has embraced the shelter. As awareness has opened up people’s eyes to how bad domestic violence is and that it’s not going away, the community has embraced us as a need within Camrose,” Rear said, noting that the language has changed from “battered women” to “domestic violence” in newspaper clippings about the shelter. In a July 2, 1985 article by Berdie Fowler published in the Camrose Booster, she states that “Now that the
At the 15th anniversary of the Camrose Women’s Shelter in 2000, an induction ceremony was held for the shelter’s life members. From left to right are Jacqueline Schaffter-Pratt, William Banack, Alyson Lavers, Patricia Twomey, Margie McCrea, Mary Trautman, Gloria Francoeur, and Mary Pattie-Feldner. The shelter is now celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Camrose Women’s Shelter has been in operation for approximately six months, the extent of its use by women and children escaping abuse and violence has clearly indicated the need of it. This has come as a surprise to many who were unaware that so much family violence does in fact occur.” After six months the shelter had served 41 women and 73 children; by one year, 102 women and 176 children had used the shelter, with an occupancy rate of 38 per cent. That occupancy rate nearly doubled in 1987, with the shelter going from 5.25 women or children per night
in 1986 to 9.15 women or children per night in 1987. From April 2014 to March 2015, 400 women and children used the services offered at the shelter plus staff provided 30 public presentations and received 995 phone calls on the regional help line at 780-672-1035. Board chair Judilonne Beebe has been on the board since 2000 and prior to that, worked for 12 years at the shelter in the roles of crisis intervention worker and community awareness coordinator. “We definitely have more staff. Our service has never dwindled,” Beebe said. “We always hope that domestic violence would go away, but
that hasn’t been the case. We still have high numbers of women who come through the shelter each year.” She noted that although many people in Camrose opposed the shelter at first, the community has since shown its support through donations such as quilts, bedding, new clothing, toiletries, towels and food. One unique aspect about the facility is that it was built to be a women’s shelter and not modified after other uses. Seven bedrooms in the shelter are designed for families and there are a total of 22 beds, however there was only funding for 17 beds originally. Funding increased in the
2014-15 year to 20 beds. A school room and living room were added in the late 1990s. The Battle River School Division provides a teacher, who teaches roughly seven students, between Grades 1 and 9, at a time. In the 2014-15 year, schooling was provided to 50 students. “We’re one of the only shelters that has a school on site,” Rear said. “It’s a benefit because kids feel safer at the shelter then at a school where they don’t know anyone.” Another change to the shelter has been that an outreach aspect has been added. A staff member helps women find furniture and get connected to a food bank and other services once they have left the shelter. “It’s important because it bridges the transition from the shelter where someone feels safe for 21 days and all of a sudden they’re back in the community,” Rear said. “It gives them someone to talk to.” Services are free at the shelter, and the stay of 21 days is not a written rule. The typical stay is up to 30 days. The shelter serves Camrose and rural areas up to Edmonton including Tofield, Fort Saskatchewan, Forestburg, Leduc, Ponoka, Wetaskiwin as well as overspill from Edmonton. An invitation only open house will be held at the shelter on Thursday, Nov. 26.
More staff added as Women’s Shelter celebrates 50 years By Laurel Nadon
An influx of funding for women’s shelters in Alberta, more outreach staff and a new children’s trauma counsellor are changes Camrose Women’s Shelter will celebrate during its 30th anniversary open house. The invitation-only event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 26 with former staff, board members, employees and current dignitaries being invited to tour the shelter and view changes. Some of these changes include the child support room in the basement, which was converted from a board room. The event will include speeches from dignitaries as well as cake cutting. “I think it’s important to recognize how far we’ve come and to see that the shelter is still an important service in our community,” said executive director Nora-Lee Rear, adding that strides have been made in raising awareness in the community over the years. “We’re still serving a lot of women and children every year.” From April 2014 to March 2015, 400 women and children used the services offered at the shelter.
Nora-Lee Rear, executive director of the Camrose Women’s Shelter, will show several changes at the shelter during an invitation-only open house on Nov. 26.
Staff provided 30 public presentations and received 995 phone calls on the regional help line at 780672-1035. The shelter has reason to celebrate, after a Sept. 23 announcement by Human Services Minister Irfan Sabir that shelters would receive $15 million in funding in Alberta over the next
year. Of the 44 shelters in Alberta, most of the funding will go to second stage shelters, which are safe housing for longer term stays of six months to one year. In Camrose, the shelter will receive a seven per cent boost to its operating budget and be able to hire 3.5 new positions. The funding will also mean an increase from 17
to 20 beds funded in the shelter. “In the next few months, we’ll be looking for a children’s trauma counsellor and two staff supporting getting women into longterm housing and looking at the issue of homelessness,” Rear said. “When children are in the shelter, it’s very difficult to think about pro-
viding therapy. Everyone is in crisis. If we can work with the kids after they leave the shelter, we’ll be making a huge difference down the road.” She noted that the Camrose Women’s Shelter board has 10 board members and an annual election. “We have a strong board with members who are passionate about the shelter and are excited about being involved and about where these new positions are going to take the shelter,” Rear said. Board chair Judilonne Beebe, who has been on the board since 2000 and before that worked at the shelter for 12 years in the roles of crisis intervention worker and community awareness coordinator, said that the open house will be a chance to see the facility for people who have supported the shelter through donations. “It’s important to celebrate because it’s a service that’s needed,” Beebe said. “We often think services are only available in cities and yet Camrose serves quite a rural area. We’re still here and providing the services that we said we were going to provide.”

Alberta Surface Rights calls special meeting By Dan Jensen Jeana Les and Michele Del Colle from the Farmers’ Advocate Office of Alberta will provide information on surface rights pricing transparency, mapping projects, and lease prices when the Alberta Surface Rights Federation holds a special meeting at the Norsemen Inn Thursday, Nov. 26. Alberta Surface Rights Federation consultant Daryl Bennett will provide information on lease nonpayments. The meeting will get underway with registration at 9 a.m., followed at 9:30 a.m. with discussion on possible speakers for the annual meeting. Panel discussions after lunch will focus on the Alberta Energy Regulator, the Surface Rights Board and the Orphan Well Association. The meeting will conclude with resolutions and a discussion of issues landowners may be having with leases, pipelines and power lines. The Alberta Surface Rights Federation was formed in April of 1981. It was formed through a series of meetings by representatives from several grass roots surface rights groups that had sprung up in local communities affected by oil and gas development throughout Alberta. The fact that the Surface Rights Act was being reviewed also prompted the creation of the Federation. The Federation was successful in negotiating an annual compensation on pipelines with Nova Corporation, known as the Nova Formula. Surface Rights issues are emerging as a dominant bone of contention in rural Alberta with the massive transference of wealth to urban centers. Battleford Trail Del Colle from the Farmers’ Advocate office will be speaking on pipeline conditions and well site payments at the annual meeting of the Battleford Trail Surface Rights Federation in the Round Hill Community Hall Nov. 26 at 7:30 p.m. More information on the Battleford Trail Surface Rights Federation AGM or the Alberta Surface Rights Federation special meeting may be obtained by contacting Tom Nahirniak at 780672-6021.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Thoughts about Family Violence
This is Family Violence Prevention Month. For 30-plus years, I’ve worked on projects related to family violence. I’ve also worked on projects about abuse in care facilities, sexual abuse and assault, bullying, workplace harassment and crosscultural abuse. Each form of abuse has unique characteristics. But whether it’s domestic violence or financial exploitation, abuse of people in care or schoolyard bullying, workplace harassment or child sexual abuse, there are common patterns. Many of our efforts focus on helping people recover from the impact of abuse, restraining people who abuse others, and trying to protect people from further abuse. All those are necessary. But “prevention” means abuse doesn’t happen at all. Is such a thing possible? I don’t know. But two things come to mind. We know that all forms of abuse are more likely to occur in certain conditions. Perhaps if we are attentive to those conditions, we can reduce the risk of abuse. We also know strategies that change people’s behaviour. Perhaps we can use those strategies to change abusive behaviour.

Have written three letters to MLA Hinkley with no reply. One thank you note.
We have lived in Saskatchewan, B.C. and Alberta with the NDP government and all seemed to get in trouble. Surely Notley could hire some business folks, rather than the same old NDP hacks to advise her. Some questions and observations. We need right to work legislation as is the case (in some parts of) the United States. Why are government labour unions advertising on prime time television? Recent school caretakers’ strike: standing around chanting their childish rant while parents were doing their work. No budget until after the federal election.
Prentice brought in a budget, asked the people for their opinion, and was turfed. He was honest. Shell Oil cancelled a project with 1,450 jobs. Notley seemed not to care. Make essential jobs essential. TransAlta Sundance $1.6 billion power plant put off until next election. Minimum wage an actual concern or a ploy to get more money for the unions. Raise taxes on those that work the hardest: “a little more won’t hurt.” Why has Moody dropped the Alberta credit rating to a negative? Raymond Burd, Camrose
Conditions in which abuse is more likely
Four conditions increase the risk of abuse. When two or more of these conditions are present, the risk goes up. When all four conditions are present, abuse is almost certain unless compensating factors are present. Imbalance of power – authority/no authority, adult/child, strong/weak, able/disabled Secrecy – behind closed doors where no one knows; little likelihood of abuse being caught, or if it is, no negative consequences likely for the person who abuses Attitudes that some are “less than” others – environments in which it is acceptable to diminish, dehumanize or harm others (“the enemy,” “the infidels,” “the grunts” or racist slurs, rather than “a fellow human who is someone’s beloved”) A sense of entitlement – as a person from the dominant culture or gender, feeling entitled to bully someone from a nondominant group; feeling entitled to others’ money; believing society owes you and you are entitled to special privileges. There will always be imbalances of power. We are all born helpless. If the stronger ones feel responsible for the well-being of all, not just themselves, the risk of abuse goes down. There will always be secrecy and that’s okay. I value privacy and confidentiality. When secrecy is combined with power imbalance, the potential for abuse increases. Strategies like “report abuse to a neutral place,” and well-known negative consequences for those who abuse others, can make potential abusers resist the desire to abuse others. We also can work to change attitudes – beginning with our own attitudes – that diminish others or foster a sense of entitlement. Strategies that change public behaviour
The field of traffic safety has successfully reduced drunk driving and increased seat belt use. We still have people who drive impaired or who do not use seat belts, but the proportion of people using the desired behaviours is in the high 90 percentages. Three major strategies used to change driving behaviours are education (teaching people about the dangers and about safer behaviours), enforcement (creating punishments for the undesired behaviours) and community engagement (activities that make the undesired behaviours unacceptable to people’s friends and communities; creating social pressure to do the right thing, like have a designated driver). All three strategies make a difference. The biggest difference happens when all three strategies are used together. What if all of us understood that harsh unkind words and actions have a long-term negative impact on others? What if all of us believed that mattered? What if none of us believed we could harm others with no negative consequences to ourselves? What if one’s best buddies didn’t condone or look away from bullying and harassing, and admired and modeled respectful behaviours? We will end family violence and all forms of abuse when all of us perceive all others as equally worthy. We don’t have to like them or spend time with them or even approve of them, but we can still feel responsible and act in ways to protect and respect their well-being. Might take a couple more generations. We’ve already started. Let’s keep going. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

Kinsmen Radio Auction Nov. 27 By Dan Jensen
A diamond ring from Richardson’s Jewellery, a gift certificate and old fashioned peddle car from The Auto Shoppe, a barbecue with accessories from ATCO Gas and business gift certificates are just a few of the nearly 450 items that will be up for sale Friday, Nov. 27, when the Camrose Kinsmen Club conducts its 61st annual Radio Auction. “We’re going to be auctioning more than 400 items live on 840 CFCW and on Cam FM 98.1 from 6 p.m. to midnight,” said Kinsmen Jason Selby. “Bids may be placed in person at The Brick or by calling the auction telephone line at 780-672-2700.” Items will be on display at The Brick starting at 1 p.m. “We would love for people to come to the store to see for themselves what is available but, if they can’t, they can tune into CFCW or Cam FM,” said Selby. The radio auction is
the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Kinsmen, which uses the proceeds to support a variety of community projects and organizations, including the Camrose Open Door, the day care at Bawlf, PACE Outreach School, the Boys and Girls Club, Special Olympics, Camrose Minor Sports, Emergency Clothing and Furniture Depot, Battle River Community Foundation, as well as local families in need. “We raised $20,000 at the 2014 auction and we are shooting for $30,000 in 2015 as we try to make it the best ever,” said Kinsmen Trevor Vinet. Kinsmen Radio donors will be recognized for their support by having their names mentioned on the radio, as well as in The Camrose Booster. “We receive excellent support from businesses but we also receive support from local individuals,” explained Jason. “It
seems the cash donations this year are up quite a bit over what they have ever been in the past.” A 50-50 draw will be held at the auction site at 10 p.m. Anyone who would like to donate an item to the Kinsmen Radio auction is invited to contact Jason at 780-781-7451 (email jayshar@telus.net), Brad Selby at 780-6780629 (email cmselby1@ hotmail.com), or Emile Chaput at 780-789-6672 (emile.chaput@yahoo.ca). The Camrose Kinsmen Club has been serving Camrose and area for the past 76 years. Anyone who is interested in joining or attending meetings, which are held at the Norsemen Inn on the second or fourth Tuesdays of the month, is asked to call Trevor at 780-878-1734. “We are always looking for positive and energetic young men,” said Trevor.

5th ANNUAL In the past you have willingly and generously helped us fill (make that overload) a hot tub with non-perishable food items for the Food Bank. You took us up on our challenge of a $500 pledge if we were able to meet the goal of a heaping tub of groceries. This year we aspire to stuff a 7’x 7’ x 3-1/2’ deep hot tub with a new supply of food for Camrose & District Food Bank. We start today! If we can get the job done on or before noon December 23, we will make a donation of $500 (along with your donations) to our food bank. This year’s need is significant. It’s our small way of helping make Christmas a brighter and less stressful time of year for others. – Russ and Doneal Greipl

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Dale Debnam, left, of the Camrose Merry Christmas Fund accepts $1,000 from Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion member Barb Steinman to launch the fundraising campaign to provide food hampers to less fortunate residents this holiday season. By Murray Green
The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund was launched in 1965 to supply food hampers to less fortunate families in the community. Some things have changed through the years, but the need to provide food support hasn’t. Last year the Merry Christmas Fund supplied 250 food hampers by raising just under $29,879. “Our goal this year is about the same as last year. We are estimating the number of hampers to be around 250 and our target goal is to raise $29,879 to cover the cost of the food,” said public relations chair Dale Debnam. “We are hoping people will donate earlier this year because we would like to pay for the food on Dec. 16 when it is delivered. We would like to know if we can pay for the groceries.” Donations can be made at the Royal Bank and at the Camrose Fire Department. The Camrose Merry Christmas Fund is a registered charity, so people will be mailed a tax receipt during the first two weeks in January. The hampers are delivered to homes on Saturday, Dec. 19, in the morning. If people know they are receiving a hamper, they are asked to be home to receive the hamper to avoid sending it back. Undelivered hampers will have to
be picked up at the food bank. “We need volunteer delivery people and we are asking for volunteers to be in pairs to carry the food. We also need people to volunteer for jobs that don’t involve delivering. It is best to call Larry, so we know who is coming to volunteer. We meet at the current Fire Hall starting at 9 a.m. to start delivering hampers,” said Dale. Organizers ask that not everyone arrives right at that time because volunteers need space to help people load. “Thanks to the help of the Camrose Post Office and the Rose City handivan trucks and vans, we are usually done by noon. We have service clubs help us on that day,” said Dale. “We always need help unpacking the food on Wednesday, then sorting them and putting them into boxes on Thursday prior to the delivery. We need help on Dec. 16 and 17, as well, in delivering the hampers.” Dale agreed it is a good outing for families who want to expose their children to a way of getting them into the Christmas spirit and helping others. The food hampers are intended to provide a good Christmas meal and food for an entire day. “If someone wants to
have a hamper delivered to them or a family, they have to register at the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center,” said Dale. The number at the centre is 780-679-3220. “The community has supported this project for many years and we are thankful for that. We are looking for the community to come through for us again to make Christmas a little brighter for everyone.” Volunteers also help deliver toys packaged by the Kinette Club. “Some hampers will also have toys to deliver at the same address. The Kinettes sort and package the toys, the Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club picks them up and drops them off to us and we send them out with the food hampers,” explained Dale. “If volunteers have a small vehicle we give them hampers without a lot of toys and those who have a larger vehicle can take more.” Enerplus Corporation and the Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion started the fundraising campaign by donating $1,500 and $1,000. For more information, or to volunteer with the Merry Christmas Fund, contact Larry Schultz at 780-672-1493. If you need a donation picked up contact Dale at 780-672-8777.

How to get fuller hair for the holiday season Many men and women want to improve the appearance of their hair for the holiday season by making it appear fuller. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to improve the fullness and body of your hair.
Look
• Try a plumping product with keratin. Keratin is a strong, fibrous material found in human hair, skin and nails. Depending on the composition of the amino acids in keratin, it can be produced as hard (animal hooves) or soft (skin). Much of the keratin people come in contact with is cells that are already dead, and these cells are protecting the living cells within. Coating hair with a keratin hair treatment can create a thicker layer of keratin to protect and moisturize the hair and help improve fullness.
for the holidays!

• Find the right volumizing shampoo for your hair. Many volumizing shampoos work by thoroughly cleansing hair to remove any product residue or excess oil that can weigh down hair. In the process, some may actually dry out hair, so it is important to test out different brands to find one that cleans but does not strip hair. Many of the popular brands of shampoo will have a volumizing alternative. Consult with your hair stylist for a salon brand he or she recommends. • Use a styling aid. For many people, washing and drying their hair is not enough to provide volume and lift. Styling aids can add volume to your hair. Volumizing mousse will coat the hair strands and give the appearance of thickness and lift. These products should be worked into the base of the hair where it meets the scalp for best effects. Pomades and certain hair waxes and gels can provide similar results and may stiffen hair to keep styles in place. • Invest in hair rollers. Hair rollers may seem old-fashioned, but they can create timeless, full hair and curls. Velcro or other nonheated rollers can be gentle on hair. Depending on the size of the roller, hair can be full with bounce or show off more defined curls. Vary roller sizes to create a more interesting, dimensional style. A blast of hairspray while the rollers are in place will help set the style. • Be gentle when styling. Frequent use of chemical styling products or heated appliances can weaken or damage the hair, causing it to break or fall out. This can only add to thin, flat hair problems. Use heated styling appliances sparingly and be gentle on hair when brushing or washing and drying. • Experiment with a new cut. Fine or limp hair may benefit from a shorter, more layered haircut to improve volume and bounce. A stylist can recommend options that will fit with your face and hair goals. • Consider coloring your hair. Permanent color dyes may actually thicken your hair by expanding the cuticle layer in order to deposit color into the shaft or disperse the existing pigments. This can result in hair that feels thicker or moves differently after the coloring process. Be sure to follow the recommended time between coloring treatments or you may end up doing more harm than good. Try one or more of these techniques to make your hair beautiful just in time for the holiday season!

Kinettes bring joy to children SIMPLIFY THE SEASON By Laurel Nadon
I can be a painfully slow decision-maker. I use lists to carefully weigh decisions, jotting down the pros and cons of both sides. As my children grow and they bring more and more papers from school to be filled out and returned, books to order, hot lunches to select, I am finding that this slow decision-making pace is a luxury that I no longer
have. When I was contemplating a job switch from being the editor of The Nanton News to a reporter at the Okotoks Western Wheel, I drew up list upon list, trying to decide what to do. My husband looked at me like I was crazy and said something along the lines of “It is more money, less responsibility and no driving (we already lived in Okotoks). Of course you are taking the job!” I guess that some people have a more innate ability to follow their gut reactions. Recently, I was forced to make quick decisions for selecting school photos for my daughter. Okay, really, I had weeks and weeks to decide on sizes and backgrounds-however, instead of giving me a choice of two or three backgrounds, there were 14. Which meant that I put off that particular decision. Then, after an evening of playing volleyball, I realized that the deadline was the following day. My husband was asleep so I had no one to bounce ideas off of, it was all up to me… and it was surprisingly empowering to follow my instincts, and go with my initial reactions. Thinking about making decisions led me to thinking about how often we are swayed by how we think we should spend our time, instead of following that voice inside of us that says the laundry can wait an hour … get on your knees and build a train track with that little guy. And how often we make a decision by not acting – we feel God nudging us to pay a kindness to someone, but our mind argues: I don’t really know them, they might think it’s weird I’m doing that for them, I don’t know how to contact them or I don’t know if I really have time to make a difference. We are heading into a season that can be hustle and bustle if we let it. I am a big fan of simplifying life wherever possible, and for the past few years, we have been simplifying Christmas. We try not to drive anywhere. We draw names for gifts among the adults. We don’t all make the same kind of cookie. I try not to get caught up in going from store to store looking for The Perfect Gift. The simpler I make it, the more we enjoy Christmas. I’ve also been trying to follow my first reactions and God’s nudgings (though sometimes it’s more of a push). I’m trying not to question it when I feel nudged to make a family a meal or give someone a hug who I don’t know well. If God is nudging us to help others, who are we to question that? We recently borrowed a children’s book from the library called “The Man with the Violin” by Kathy Stinson. It’s based on a true story about famous violinist Joshua Bell, who took part in an experiment by dressing like an ordinary street musician and playing in a metro station in Washington, D.C. for 43 minutes. Over 1,000 people walked past, and only seven stopped to listen for more than a minute. No one clapped, not realizing that people pay $100 or more to hear Bell play in a concert hall. Every time a child passed the violinist, however, they tried to stop, straining to listen while their parents dragged them away, hurrying to get to their destination. This season, I challenge you to stop and listen to the music. To simplify. To obey the nudgings you feel to help others. And to enjoy this destination instead of hurrying to the next.
Paige Dyer and Janessa Burr pack toys for the Kinette Silent Santa program. By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Kinette Club’s Silent Santa program has been bringing joy to children at Christmas for the last 60 years. “It has been in existence since the club started in 1955,” said Kinette Club vicepresident and 30-year club member Kathy Schwab. “It was called something else at the time, but it was basically the same thing.” The program accepts donations of new and unwrapped toys or gifts for children up to 16 years of age at Duggan Mall, Camrose Post Office, Rose City Hair 2000 and Shuman Insurance drop boxes, as well as personal cheques or cash in envelopes marked “Silent Santa” at the Charity Checkstop and Shuman Insurance (cheques may also be mailed to the Camrose Kinette Club, care of Kathy Schwab, 3609 Erickson Drive, T4V 3J2). The toys and gifts, together with items purchased with the cash donations, are delivered with the food hampers that are distributed each year by the Camrose Neighbor Aid Centre just a few days before Christmas. “We usually fall short on the gifts that we receive for babies and teenagers so the cheques and cash donations help fill the gap,” said Camrose Kinette Club president Christine Olson. Camrose Kinette Club typically packs toys and gifts for 400 Camrose and area children each year (approximately 170 families). “We receive a great sense of satisfaction from helping and supporting families who run into trouble periodically,” said Kathy. “We believe that every child deserves to have a nice Christmas.” The Kinettes ask that the gifts be left unwrapped so that parents can distribute them according to their own certain family traditions.
Kinettes grateful for the support The Camrose Kinette Club is grateful for all the toys, gifts, cash and cheques that are donated by caring individuals, businesses and service organizations to the Silent Santa program. Gift suggestions for babies include blankets, soft toys and sleepers. Gift suggestions for teenagers include movie passes, books, art supplies, pajamas, sports equipment (soccer balls), footballs, hockey sticks, makeup kids, personal hygiene kits, hand held games, swimming passes, Kodiaks hockey tickets, board games, and of course, hats, gloves and scarves. The gifts and toys may be dropped off until Dec. 12 at Camrose Kinette collection depots in Duggan Mall, the Camrose Post Office, Rose City Hair 2000 or Shuman Insurance. “They (the parents) get to decide how it is that they are presenting Christmas,” said Christine. “Even if a family doesn’t have Santa it is important that they have the gifts of food, fun and play. The toys that we give help facilitate play and personal growth. It has been said that play is children’s work.” Silent Santa is a big part of the Camrose Kinette Club’s mission of supporting Camrose and area women and children. “It has always been an important program in Camrose, but it becomes even more important in the tough economic times that we are facing right now,” said Kathy, who is appreciative of the support that the club has always received throughout the years from individuals, businesses and service organizations. “The tougher times are economically, the more families need our help.” The Camrose Kinette Club was formed in 1955 with 25 members as a way of stimulating interest of its members in supporting the welfare of the community. “When it started it was an auxiliary club for the Kinsmen and you couldn’t be
a Kinette unless your husband was a Kinsmen (something that is no longer the case),” said Kathy. Along with assisting with the packing of hampers, the club conducted dress raffles, provided treats for children at the Bethany Children’s Home, collected clothing, conducted tag days for the blind, held bake auctions, sponsored a gas cooking school, sold fashion show tickets, held sleigh parties, supported Girl Guide programs, held mother and daughter banquets, operated concessions, offered athletic scholarships, assisted at radio auctions, and organized blood donor clinics on behalf of Red Cross. “The amount of telephoning and organizational work assumed by these fine ladies (with the blood donor clinics) is invaluable,” said a writer in the Camrose history book, A Light Into the Past. “For such an important responsibility, who could do it better than the members of the Kinette Club of Camrose? This community and the larger communities of Alberta and Canada express most heartfelt thanks.” Continued on page 47

Prytullack going for gold in Korea
Police arrest man on oustanding warrant November 22
Police located a male who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest out of Edmonton. The male was subsequently arrested and upon conducting a physical search incidental of his arrest, police located a small amount of methamphetamine. The male was then arrested for Possession of a Controlled substance and transported to cells. The male was brought before a Justice of the Peace and bail was set at $250 on the Edmonton war-
rant. The male was issued a Promise to Appear for the Camrose matter and will appear at the Camrose Provincial Court at a later date. A vehicle was located with a license plate that was not actively registered to any vehicle. The vehicle was stopped and determined that the driver was suspended from driving, that the vehicle was unregistered, uninsured and bearing a license plate that did not belong to the vehicle or the vehicle occupants. It was also deter-
mined that the driver had an outstanding warrant for his arrest. The male was arrested and released on a Promise to Appear in court at a later date. Police spoke with the passenger, who provided police a false name and false date of birth. Police eventually uncovered his true identity and determined that he was bound by a curfew and was also breaching his no cell phone condition. The male was arrested for Obstruction and two counts of Breach of a Court Document.

Anne Prytullack will be attempting to add a gold medal to her trophy case at the OMC world hairstyling championships in Korea next March. By Dan Jensen
Anne Prytullack will be continuing her pursuit for hairstyling supremacy at the Organization Mondiale Coiffure (OMC) world hairstyling championships in Seoul, Korea, March 27 to 29, 2016. “I’m going for the gold,” said the owner of Solo Salon Designs. “I have won three silver and three bronze medals at OMC championships in the past and just need a gold to complete the set.” Prytullack was one of four hairdressers chosen to represent Canada at the championships’ progressive cut category (four competitors and one alternate) at the conclusion of team trials held in Calgary Oct. 3 and 4. The team will be training this coming winter under coach Kenneth Michael Hiebert at a location still to be determined. “We are looking at a central spot and are thinking of Winnipeg,” said Prytullack. “I am the only member of the team who is from the west. All the other members are from the Toronto area.” The team trial came on the heels of the OMC European championships in Paris, France, Sept. 20 and 21, where Prytullack finished 11th out of about 30 competitors in the bridal long hair up and the progressive trend cut categories. Her future Seoul teammate, Lina Shamoun, placed first in the progressive cut category, while Hiebert was second. Prytullack feels the Canadians have a strong chance of doing well at the world championships, where they will be going up against the top four or five hairdressers from each of the more than 70 countries that will be in attendance. “All four of us are artistic and we have a good coach,” she said. “I am confident it is going to be a pretty strong team.” Prytullack will be doing a bit of fundraising between now and March to help defray some of the costs of airfare and accommodation. “I have learned that it is very expensive to go to Korea,” she said. “Our room in Seoul, for example is going to cost $1,900 for just one week.” Prytullack has been a professional hairdresser for the last 30 years, approximately 20 of which have been in Camrose, where she has developed a loyal base of customers. “The customers I have been able to tell so far about going to Korea are very excited for me,” she said. Created in 1946, OMC is the largest professional organization for hairstylists in the world. The organization is represented by three official delegates from each member country, who have the right to vote and hold positions on the zone and world boards. It is managed by OMC world president CEO Salvatore Fodera.
An idea by Julie Girard and her staff to deliver tea and coffee to school staffrooms in Camrose and area on the first day of school is being copied by other Starbucks stores across Canada. By Dan Jensen
The simple idea that Starbucks manager Julie Girard and her staff had of placing tea and coffee in the staff rooms of Camrose and area schools on the first day of classes each fall is spreading across the country. “To see other Starbucks stores copying our Back to School bash is a big compliment,” said Julie. “I know the Starbucks stores in west Edmonton tried it this year and had some good success.” Starbucks Camrose created the Back to School Bash in 2012 as a way of expressing appreciation to teachers and other school staff for their dedication to the learning and advancement of all students. “I had five kids so I appreciate what the schools do,” said Julie. “The jobs they do are not always easy ones.” The idea would have remained something unique to Camrose had Julie not received a timely visit from her Starbucks bosses. “The head of Starbucks operations for all of Canada,
the head of the Starbucks western division (Canada), my district manager and the regional manager came to the store on the same day we were taking everything to the schools,” said Julie. “I told them it was great that they had come but that they were going to have to help me because this is what we do here in Camrose. They were so impressed that they asked for the copies of the letters that we sent to the schools along with the coffee and the tea and issued their own letters to every Starbucks operator in Canada explaining this was something they should consider.” The recognition has given Julie the general sense of being part of a bigger team. “It is sometimes easy for people who operate Starbucks in smaller communities to feel disconnected from those in the big cities because they are not with the other managers as much,” she said. The challenge Julie faced when she came to Camrose in 2011 was the
need to convince the community that Starbucks wasn’t evil and that it could be part of the community. The Back to School Bash has done a lot to create good will, but so too have things like supporting a graduation fundraiser at Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School, providing coffee for the Jaywalkers’ Jamboree breakfasts and the Francophone Games, and contributing to Rotary events. When Starbucks brought in new furniture, she came up with the idea of holding a silent auction for the old furniture, something that raised $1,350 for the Camrose Open Door Association. Julie receives five or six phone calls every year from school staff expressing their appreciation for the Back to School Bash. “It’s good to be able to do something nice for others,” she said. “Sometimes we believe that it has to be the grand gesture all the time when most of the time it is the little things like a cup of coffee in the morning.”

By Dan Jensen
You’ll be able to enjoy the sounds of the Mannskor and Augustana choirs under the direction of Dr. John Wiebe and learn a new Christmas carol composed by pianist Dr. Milton Schlosser specifically for the Canadian landscape in a special concert at Fridhem Baptist Church this Sunday, Nov. 29, starting at 7 p.m. “The concert will be a way to prepare for the joyous season ahead,” said Jane Ross. “We’re asking that people bring holiday treats for the Dukekt Börd.” Fridhem Baptist Church is a sacred site dating back to the late 1800s when Swedish settlers arrived south of already existing Duhamel (also known as Laboucane Metis Settlement) on the Battle River in what was then the Northwest Territories. At the time, Wetaskiwin was the regional centre for trade and the point of embarkation for people who were coming to farm in the surrounding areas. At first the new settlers gathered in homes for worship. Due to hardship and epidemic, several newcomers died in the early days, resulting in the creation of the Fridhem cemetery as one of the earliest ecumenical burial places in the area. Although the present church was built in 1926, the broader geographical reach of the early settlers is an important part of the overall history. In the summer of July, 2000, the 100th anniversary of the worship community was honoured with a guided tour of the places where the early settlers had lived. Since the formation of the Friends of Fridhem Society in 1992, focus has been on identifying and protecting the flora and fauna of the site and on maintaining and restoring the church. Today, Fridhem Baptist Church is a registered Municipal Historic Resource of Camrose County and the Province of Alberta. Fridhem Church may be found by travelling 30 minutes south of Camrose on Highway 21 to Ferintosh. At the gravel pit corner turn east. You will find the church 3.5 miles down Range Road 440 on the south side. The concert is being cosponsored by the St. Thomas Historical Society and the Association for Life-Wide Living of Alberta.

Midnight Madness taking over the street By Laurel Nadon
A street festival atmosphere will be created at this year’s Midnight Madness when Main Street will be closed to traffic for the first time for the event. Carollers and Santa Claus will visit downtown Camrose, and propane fires will be set up to keep shoppers warm, from 6 p.m to midnight on Friday, Nov. 27. Wagon rides by Foss Irwin will leave from Founders’ Square from 6 to 9 p.m. Each business will host its own specials, with several having countdowns to better deals as the evening goes on. “It’s to showcase what we have downtown and that you don’t need to head to the city to get what you need,” said Jessica Omoth, events committee chair with Downtown Camrose. “It’s a good opportunity to walk downtown. It’s a really social thing and it’s a good way to get into the Christmas spirit.” New this year is an 18-foot green metal Christmas tree made by Camrose Machine and Welding that will be lit and in place at the
north end of Main Street for the event. Shoppers can enter at the CAM FM on-site location until 6 p.m. for a package of $25 gift cards from participating businesses, with a total value of $500. The annual Kinsmen Radio Auction will also be held at The Brick beginning at 6 p.m. Omoth said that the influx of shoppers is a boon to local downtown businesses, and also a chance for people to see what businesses, which are typically closed in the evenings, have to offer. Omoth said that she has personally experienced this at Midnight Madness, and now knows where to turn for specific items instead of travelling to other communities. The event will also be held at the Duggan Mall, with businesses open from 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Santa will pay a visit to the mall from 6 to 8:30 p.m. with Ballet Camrose dance performances at 5 p.m. Jessi Sears, manager of Duggan Mall, said that each store will do its own specials for the event. She noted that

the evening will be a chance to highlight four new stores in the mall which offer leather, home décor and ladies’ clothing, and will also kick off photos with Santa.
“It’s just to bring people out and to get them into the holiday spirit,” Sears said. “I think most people are starting to use Black Friday as a kick-off to the
shopping season. It keeps people shopping at home as opposed to Edmonton. It’s usually a lot of fun and there’s usually a lot of good deals to be had.”
Rotary delivers 2000th wheelchair to Puerto Vallarta By Dan Jensen
The Rotary Club of Camrose achieved a milestone this month when it sent wheelchair number 2,000 to Discapacitados Vallertenses A.C. Puerto Vallarta (a support group for children and adults with physical and mental difficulties). Rotary has been shipping the wheelchairs for the last 15 years, usually in batches of 50 or 60. “We loaded our first batch onto a school bus that was driven there by Don Rebus, Bob Bell, Jerome Stetar and Larry Sharuga in October 2000,” said Rotary Club of Camrose member Al Rostad. “Now we send them via Air Transat, which has always given us a good rate on freight.” The wheelchairs, along with other medical equipment, including walkers, crutches, canes and wire baskets, are collected from Camrose residents, health care institutions, and the provincial government’s AIDS to Daily Living program. They are picked up from the airport at Puerto Vallarta by the Rotary Club there, which then transports them to a support group’s warehouse for repair and distribution. “They (Discapacitados Vallertenses A.C. Puerto Vallarta) have a distribution system that ensures the right people get them,” said Rebus. “Most people pay a nominal fee so they don’t just go and sell the wheelchairs.” Wheelchairs are a bit

of a rarity in the rural and poorer areas of Mexico because of the cost. A used wheelchair valued at between $300 and $500 in Canada would be worth thirty to forty thousand pesos in Mexico, an exorbitant sum considering the average daily wage for a Mexican worker is about 70 or 80 pesos. “The government doesn’t help them very much,” said Rotarian Ron Grue. “There are not many nursing homes and the accepted standard is that
the elderly are taken care of by the family.” The wheelchairs sent from Canada are valued because they are made of steel and have rubber tires, making them tough enough to stand up to the abuse they receive from cobblestone streets and sidewalks. “They are very valuable down there,” said Rebus. “They are very effective as opposed to the plastic ones they now manufacture.” Discapacitados Vallertenses A.C. Puerto Vallarta was founded by Rotar-
ian Ivan Applegate Curiel after he was paralyzed from the neck down in a diving accident at the age of 17, as a way of integrating people who had disabilities in an active and productive way back into normal society. “My wife Chris and I heard him speak at a Rotary Club meeting when we were there in March of 2000,” said Rebus. “After the meeting we asked what the Rotary Club of Camrose could do to help and he said provide wheelchairs. They also told us they needed
a bus so that the disabled people in Puerto Vallarta could be picked up and brought to the occupational therapy building.” The Discapacitados Vallertenses A.C. Puerto Vallarta has worked hard over the years to change the attitudes towards the disabled. Along with starting new programs, it has been able to convince the City of Puerto Vallarta to install more and more wheelchair ramps at entrances to buildings. “The wheelchair accessible ramps you see in Puerto Vallarta now are a result of Ivan and his association,” said Rebus. “All it took was getting a few committed people on the bandwagon.” Grue was able to see first hand the difference the wheelchairs have made when he attended one of the support group’s Christmas parties. “One of the boys who received a wheelchair was being carried everywhere by members of his family,” he said. “I saw the look of relief on the face of his parents because they knew they would have more freedom and that their son would be able to get to the places he wanted to go more easily.” Rotary attributes most of the success it has received with the wheelchair project to the generous support of the community and the Rotarians who exemplify the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self” by donating their time, talents and resources.

Festival of Trees launches Christmas season
Two-year-old Avah Brodie of Camrose was very determined when it came to adding sprinkles to her Christmas cookie. With Grandma Sheila Herle’s help no corner was left untouched.
The Grinch made an appearance among the display of beautifully decorated Christmas trees at the Festival of Trees. The CRE was definitely sparkling with the spirit of the season.
This little miniature horse was very happy to be groomed by five-year-old Abbey Lantz and three-year-old Zoey Lantz of Camrose. A variety of four legged friends from Thistle Hill Petting zoo were available for grooming or just cuddling.
There was no shortage of brightly wrapped gifts and sneaky little elves at the Festival of Trees held Nov. 20, 21 and 22.
Erin Pozerniuk displayed one of the beautiful ceramic pieces handmade at Miquelon Lake Ceramics. Along with Corinne Schaffrick they custom make every piece right from the clay to the firing and painting. There were great gift ideas in the craft area at the Festival of Trees held at the CRE.

The gingerbread cookie cart was a big hit as delightful cookie vendor Pat Lyseng of Camrose moved it throughout the festival.
Ballet Camrose participants performed a variety of dances during the Festival of Trees. The performers delighted the audience with grace, pose and some difficult routines. The wonderful entertainment supplied all weekend to festival-goers was an enjoyable break from walking around the area taking in all the sights, crafts and vendors.

The Camrose Booster Welcomes Lori Larsen to our News Department Last August, Dan Jensen, our Senior Reporter, announced his intention to retire. Being the considerate and thoughtful fellow that he is, Dan gave us nine month’s notice that he plans to get out his golf clubs on April 30, 2016. During the past three months, we have received applications from a variety of candidates who, on paper, were well qualified for Dan’s position. However, there is more to this particular job than the ability to interview, write and take pictures. The successful candidate must, of course, have those qualifications but must also be a good fit for the culture of the community and for the organization she represents. We are thrilled to report that we have found such a person and we are proud to present Lori Larsen. Lori was born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario but came to Alberta at the age of twenty to obtain a Diploma in Law Enforcement from Lethbridge Community College. She followed that with a B.Sc., in Criminology from the University of Great Falls, Montana, and then went on to earn a Master’s in Education and Administration, in 1993, from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Since that time, she has taught at Lethbridge Community College, The Northern Lights College in Fort St. John, BC, and Red Deer College. During her employment both as a college instructor and loss prevention supervisor, she has been able to hone her interviewing skills and has amassed a great deal of experience. As an instructor, she was responsible for conducting intake interviews for prospective students and conducting
student one-on-one interviews during the course program. As a loss prevention supervisor, she was responsible for interviewing prospective employees as well as witnesses and suspects. Lori has been a hobby photographer for over thirty years and has completed continuing education courses in photography and advanced photography. We are truly impressed with the quality of her work. Her skills as an interviewer and photographer will serve her well in her new role as a reporter at the Booster. Lori is married to John Larsen, the new Manager of the Safeway store in Camrose. John has spent thirty-seven years in the industry, which resulted in regular transfers as his career progressed. While serving at several communities in Alberta, the Larsens always felt that Camrose would be a great community in which to live. The Larsens have wanted to make Camrose their home for years, and they are both happy to finally be here. The Larsens have two grown children, a son who is a community police officer in Cold Lake and a daughter, who is employed by a company that sprays box liners in Red Deer. She resides at Sylvan Lake. Also included in their family are four saddle horses which the Larsens enjoy riding on trails around here and in the mountains and which they use to travel to interesting places to hunt, fish and generally enjoy the great outdoors. During his thirty-five years at the Booster, Dan Jensen has earned a reputation for his fair and accurate reporting which has contributed to making
our publication welcome in homes throughout our trading area. A person of Dan’s talent and integrity is not easily replaced but Lori Larsen will be groomed over the next five months to fill Dan’s very large shoes. She is committed to maintaining Dan’s high standards and looks forward to the opportunity to work with you to record the history of Camrose and the Battle River community as it happens! You may reach Lori Larsen by calling (780) 672-3142 or lori@camrosebooster.com

Freedom Singers take you on a journey of faith By Murray Green
Freedom Singers leader Simon Ivascu doesn’t worry too much about his travel schedule, or for the demand to hear his story. After being locked away in a freighter for 14 days not knowing where he was going or if he was going to survive, everyday is a blessing for the former Romanian. Ivascu and his group, Freedom Singers, will be holding a concert and he will share his near-death adventure across the Atlantic Ocean during a show on Dec. 2 beginning at 7 p.m. in the Church of God. “I escaped from Romania with my friend Wesley Pop. We made our way through the mountains and into Italy. In the early spring it is very challenging with icy conditions through the Alps,” said Ivascu. He wanted to avoid 18 months in the army. “At that time we had to serve a man-
datory year and a half in the military. After completion of high school it was mandatory to go into the army. There is nothing wrong with that, but, as Christians, it was tough when I know my cousin suffered tremendously through his experience,” he explained on why he wanted to leave his country. “I wanted to avoid serving; when they call your name and you don’t go, they come looking for you to arrest you.” They were not allowed to stay in Italy. “I applied to stay, but there were so many escapees they simply couldn’t keep up. We were approached by someone who said he could help us. He was a smuggler. For a fee, he was going to put us in a shipping container and send us to another country. I thought it was to the United States.” They slept near the train tracks and then slipped into

a container that was loaded onto the train. “We thought we were going to be shipped out the next day. The container was placed on the dock and sat there for four days. We nearly cooked to death with the heat of the sun. Things were not going according to what he said, so we were starting to worry. The con-

tainer could have gone anywhere. We drilled holes and breathed through straws because we ran out of oxygen. Four days later, we knew that we were moving around.” Ivascu tried to cut though the container and latch to get more air and to find out where they were. “When we got out, we realized we were on a ship. It was dark and we were with hundreds of containers in the bottom of the ship,” he said. “The doors were latched and containers were also above us in another level. At that point we didn’t know where we were heading. We ran out of water and we didn’t know how long it was going to be. We started to find a way out; for days we were searching to get to the next level. Then one of the latches cracked and I could see light.” Without water, the men had to find a way to draw

attention to themselves. They began to bang on the latch. “There was a man on the other side of the latch. It said Croatia on his coveralls. I banged with my plastic flashlight with the little strength that I had left. We were scared because we had heard of people being thrown overboard if they were found, but they treated us well and gave us food and water. In fact, we were treated like royalty.” The crew told them the ship was headed for Quebec. “I asked where was that country? I never heard of that place. They told me Montreal, Canada, and it will be three more days.” Ivascu and Pop started a band not long after finding work in British Columbia. Pop has since left the band to start a family. The band also plays in Provost on Dec. 6 and in Killam on Dec. 11.

Q.
Can acupuncture help ease the pain of arthritis and fibromyalgia?
A:
Both ailments can be addressed with significant success rates. Acupuncture works by stimulating “meridian points” in the body. These are invisible channels where energy flows. When this flow is blocked, for reasons such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, illness or pain occurs. Acupuncture stimulation corrects energy flow. It can also release tight and spasmed muscles. Additionally, acupuncture can stimulate the release of natural painfighting endorphins. The University of Michigan Medical School, according to the Arthritis Foundation, recruited 20 women who had suffered from chronic fibromyalgia for at least one year. Half of the women got traditional Chinese acupuncture. The other half in the study group received a “sham” acupuncture treatment. The scientific experiment also included injecting all 20 with a special radioactive tag which allowed medical scans to pinpoint brain activity. Recipients of true acupuncture treatments in the case study showed increased activity of painkilling receptors in their brains. Those treated with the sham acupuncture did not have the same beneficial pain receptor activity! Answer provided by:

In view of terrorism, is it safe to travel?
A:
In this “CNN era “of TV reporting w we seem to hear about terrorism ttoo often. As safety is one of the top ppriorities for our clients, we invite you tto contemplate this research: The Washington Post suggests that dying in a terrorist attack ranks lower than for any other common reason. Post-surgery, gun violence and lightning strikes death all rank much higher. The odds of an American dying in a domestic or overseas terrorist attack are about 1 in 20 million (we assume the stats for a Canadian are equal, perhaps lower). Newsweek suggests: you have higher statistical odds of being killed by a refrigerator falling on you than being killed by a terrorist. The U. of North Carolina reports that since 9/11 radical Muslim terrorism has claimed 37 lives in the U.S. Compare this to 190,000 murders. We do not want to downplay terrorism. Thankfully incidents have been very few. The goals of terrorists include disruptions to lives and the economy. Be vigilant, be aware and be responsible. Be sure to travel!

Q.
How can I stay healthy during the holidays?
A:
Stress management strategies are critical in maintaining wellness and disease prevention. While we might think one instance or event is more stressful than another, our bodies perceive all stress equally. Cortisol levels rise, neurotransmitter levels become erratic, key nutrients are depleted and hormone levels vary. Supplements are any easy, cost effective method of managing the side effects of stress which can include: insomnia, headaches, pain, anxiety, poor immunity and fatigue or tiredness. While these can be symptoms of other, deeper health issues, we have found that specific supplements can be very helpful in combatting many symptoms of stress. It is also worth noting, that while we may notice more stressful symptoms around certain times of the year ( eg. Christmas), our bodies deal with stress on a day-to-day basis and many people find that a supplement program helps them feel better not just in higher stress periods but throughout the entire year. Visit us today for suggestions on which supplements may work best for you. Answer provided by:

Q.
Can a flu shot give me the flu?
A:
No it cannot. Flu vaccines are scientifically made with viruses that have been scientifically inactivated. The flu shot could possibly cause very mild side effects that may be mistaken for flu. A slightly sore arm at the injection site is, however, the most probable side effect. Other illnesses can cause flu-like symptoms. We also know of cases where people were exposed to an influenza virus before getting vaccinated or during the two week period that it takes the body to gain protection after being vaccinated. This would allow a person to become ill with flu before the vaccine offers protection. There is always the possibility that the correct seasonal vaccine for influenza has not been formulated. Typically the flu shot protects against 3 or 4 common viruses. Last year as an example, an unexpected flu virus was in circulation in Alberta and the vaccine offered was not particularly effective. There is no cost for the vaccine and all health professionals highly recommend getting it. Our team of professional pharmacists are trained to give the needle or provide a nasal spray.

Seniors’ Chat Finding Christmas Peace By Alan Richards
Alan Richards is a member of the Camrose Seniors’ Coalition and of the Ministry Team at Camrose United Church. Where, in the midst of everything else, might we find the peace Christmas promises? Here are a few stories of people who show me where to look. “Ted” is busier retired than when he was working. So, each Wednesday afternoon, for three weeks before Christmas, he turns off his phone and goes for a drive. To a different town each week. At a café, he sits with a cup of coffee. “This is my personal Christmas time,” he says. “I notice small things. The light coming through the window, the pitch of that fellow’s voice when he laughs, the smile the owner gives when you walk in. They remind me we’re all human, doing the best we can in a hard world.” With a second cup of coffee, he turns his phone on and texts his three grandchildren. Continued on page 27
Falling is a year-round reason to see your doctor Submitted
With November being Seniors’ Fall Prevention Month, the Camrose Primary Care Network (PCN) fall prevention team would like to remind seniors of the importance of knowing how to prevent a fall. According to the Canadian Patient Safety Institute, falls are the leading cause of injury among older Canadians: 20 to 30 per cent of seniors experience one or more falls each year. Falls are the cause of 85 per cent of hospitalizations for Canadian seniors. The average Canadian senior stays in hospital 10 days longer for falls than for any other cause. The cost to treat injuries from falls is over $2 billion annually in direct healthcare costs. Fall prevention is just about stopping falls before they happen. It’s about continuing to enjoy life’s simple moments; it’s about playing with your grandchildren and keeping active with friends and family. Most of all, fall prevention is about keeping your independence. In 2014, the Camrose PCN recognized there was a need in our community to offer education and sup-
port related to seniors falling and how they may be able to prevent falls to live a more independent lifestyle as they age. They joined forces with community stakeholders AHS (Home Care, Healthy Living Centre, Addictions and Mental Health, Seniors’ Outreach and EMS) and Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital and collaboratively created a vision for a comprehensive Fall Prevention Program. There was funding available from Covenant Health to support community initiatives such as this, so the Camrose PCN applied and received the news in the summer of 2014 they were successful in receiving $91,000 from the Network of Excellence in Seniors’ Health and Wellness Innovation Fund. The program, which rolled out in the fall of 2014, is designed for individuals age 65 and above who have had a fall or are at significant risk of falling. It has been very successful, with over 43 seniors accessing the program. “I can’t believe there is a program like this; I’m stronger, more confident and more relaxed when I’m walking,” states one program par-
ticipant. “This program has restored my dignity,” said another. With the objective of the program to decrease the number of falls for seniors, as well to help them maintain their level of independence, the fall prevention team has been happy with the success of the program to date. “I have seen patients progress in their walking speeds and improve their balance reactions,” said Connie Harrison, PCN exercise specialist and member of the Fall Prevention Team. “People’s level of confidence for all types of mobility has dramatically improved.” Stephanie Loosemore, Geriatric Assessment Program (GAP) nurse lead, adds, “I have had patients tell me they are not afraid of walking on stairs anymore and they have hope in the fact they are gaining strength – not just getting weaker every day. That brings an enormous amount of job satisfaction – knowing we are making a true difference in people’s lives.” Seniors can access the program themselves or have a family member, family doctor or healthcare provider refer
them. They will start with an assessment with the GAP nurse, who will determine if the individual is appropriate for the program or more suited to an alternate program in the community. If appropriate for the program, they will then be seen by Dr. Val Smith (Care of the Elderly trained physician) for further assessment and fall risk factors will be identified. From there an individual care plan is developed to reduce their risk of falling and subsequent injury. As part of a team approach to their care, the individual may work with the Camrose PCN exercise specialist and/or community partners trained in fall prevention interventions and risk reduction. “Falls are not an inevitable result of aging, but the risk of a fall can increase as one ages,” said Dr. Val Smith. “Older adults value their independence, and a single fall can result in significant disability and loss of function. If you fall once you are more likely to fall again. There has been tremendous research and interest in identifying risks for falls and what we can do to lower that risk. A comprehensive falls risk assessment and targeted
interventions for those identified at high risk is a step in the right direction.” An important piece of the program is to educate seniors on how they can reduce their risk of falling. With some planning ahead, seniors can take action. Watch your step! Watch for ice, cracks and uneven surfaces while walking. Walk with your arms out from your sides for balance (not in your pockets). Walk flat-footed and take short steps and walk slowly. As you are walking, keep your head up and concentrate on balance. Ask your healthcare provider about which type of grab bar to use in your bathroom. Have your eyes checked every year. Wear shoes that support your feet and have a closed heel. Avoid rushing and doing too many things at once. For more information on the Camrose PCN Falls Prevention Program and how to prevent falling, please talk to your family doctor or call the Camrose PCN west end clinic at 780-672-5034, or visit www.camrosepcn.com.

Mary Noullett January 25, 1921 – November 16, 2015 Mary Noullett was born on the family farm northeast of Innisfree, AB at Spruce Point near the Vermilion River to Stephen and Anna Grabas on January 25, 1921. She had five sisters Katy, Grace, Anne, Josephine and Florence, and three brothers Michael, Bill and Peter. She attended school at Bruno. Early years on the farm were spent doing chores, chasing and milking cows and riding horses, housework and, of course, having fun and sneaking out to dances. Mary was a tomboy and loved to hang out with her older brother, Peter. When Mary left the farm, she worked as a waitress in Wainwright, Lloydminster, Vegreville and Camrose. She married Nick Hopaluk and they moved to Mercoal and then to Jasper. Later, they moved to Dodds and had two daughters, Phyllis and Joyce. They moved to Camrose so the girls could walk to school and not have to ride the bus. Nick passed away in 1967. Mary met Joe H. Noullett at a Solo Club dance in 1970 and they married in 1971. She and Joe travelled extensively to places such as Jerusalem, various parts of Europe, Costa Rica, Italy, all across Canada, and throughout many of the States. Mary was interested in many things; she loved animals and nature, walking on crunchy leaves in the fall, crocheting, knitting, cooking and making a different dessert every week, gardening and flowers. She was always in the garden, hoeing, planting, pulling weeds, watering and picking vegetables. She even did Tai Chi. But most important to her was family, and every birthday and holiday was a celebration. Mary was very active in the Church, and its fund-raising activities, and held the position of treasurer for many years. Both she and Joe believed in supporting local businesses in Camrose, and contributed to various organizations that were important to them. They were always willing to lend a helping hand. Joe passed away in 2006. In 2007, Mary’s kidneys failed, and she required kidney dialysis three times a week, travelling to and from Wetaskiwin. As time progressed, Mary’s health deteriorated, and she moved to Unit 33 Long Term Care in Wetaskiwin Hospital. She took everything in stride and accepted what came her way, determined that not even limited mobility or impaired vision would stop her. She kept up with current events in the news and did homework every day (answers to verbal questions, arithmetic in her head, reciting the alphabet, coloring and identifying pictures of animals). One of Mary’s nurses asked what 12 times 12 was and. without the blink of an eye, she answered 144. To this day, people who met Mary could not believe she was “that old”: “We thought she was in her 70s.” On November 16, 2015, Mary passed away peacefully in her sleep due to respiratory failure. Mary is survived by her daughters Phyllis Robertson and Joyce Waterman (Rick Northrup); special friend and confidante June Hagen (Phil Hagen); sisters Josephine and Florence; June’s granddaughter Katy; nieces and nephews; in-laws; dear friends; and of course, Molly, her beloved dog, who travelled to and from Wetaskiwin on a regular basis to make sure the nurses were doing a good job in caring for Mother. In her own quiet unassuming way, Mary deeply touched the lives of many and, even though she is not here in body, she lives in our hearts and will continue to be sorely missed. A Divine Liturgy was held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, November 20, 2015 from the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Church, Camrose (5304 48A Avenue) with Rev. Greg Faryna and Rev. Mihajlo Planchak officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Battle River Community Foundation - Joseph (Joe) H. and Mary Noullett Fund.

Simulation improves stroke response time By Murray Green

St. Mary’s lab technician Brittany Woelk receives blood samples before the patient has a CT scan to check for bloodclots.
Dr. Chris Nichol, left, and emergency unit RN Cindy Parker ask the patient questions to determine if and how severe a stroke has been suffered by the simulation patient.
Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose staff sharpened their skills for quality stroke care through a simulated exercise on Nov. 10. Hospital staff improved stroke protocol by faster identifying barriers in the process and trial improvements that will help St. Mary’s Stroke Unit and emergency department improve response times and save lives. Staff went through the journey from Emergency Medical Services (EMS) ambulance to the emergency department to CT (computed tomography) scan and made a decision to give the patient a thrombolytic drug. A provincial initiative for quality improvement in stroke care, called QuICR, sets a goal for emergency departments to improve the time from patient arrival in the emergency department to time thrombolytic drug is given to 30 minutes. The goal is now 60 minutes, which St. Mary’s safely achieves. In partnership with Alberta Health Services, emergency department (ER) employees at St. Mary’s Hospital completed their first stroke simulation exercise to assist staff with quicker response time from the point that a patient enters the ER doors to when they receive critical medication. “This is the first time we are doing the simulation. And, we’re doing it primarily to identify barriers that would reduce the time we treat the patient and trim up our time. This simulation is the second we’ve done today – the first involved a person who came into the hospital via ambulance,” said St. Mary’s emergency unit manager Michelle Bowman. “We have had 28 minute times before, so its attainable for us.” It takes an entire team to provide quality care. “It’s really a coordination of nursing, CT, the lab, the ER doctor and the stroke neurologist via telehealth,” said Bowman. “We connect to a stroke neurologist on a computer screen. The stroke neurologist can assess the patient by video conferencing. We would upload the CT scan on the screen so the neurologist can see the scan, do a visual assessment of the patient who is in the trauma room and then decide whether to give the thrombolytic drug. So, we can also connect to a doctor’s laptop – they don’t have to be in a hospital, they can connect to us from home on their own laptop with the right software,” explained Bowman. TPA or alteplase is a very strong clotbuster drug for the brain. If a clot gets
St. Mary’s Dr. Chris Nichol calls for expert stroke advice.
stuck in your brain, it’s a stroke. Clots tend to circulate until they get stuck because of a hardening of the arteries or plaque. If you can get to someone within six hours, the best case scenario is the symptoms are reversed, or the patient has minimal deficits.” Slurred speech, eye drooping, face paralysis are all signs of stroke. In 2014, St. Mary’s received 61 patients who presented themselves with stroke symptoms. “In 2015, since January, we have had 14 stroke patients who qualify to receive this thrombolytic drug,” added Bowman. A CT scan is important because strokes can happen from a clot or a bleed of a artery rupture. “You can’t give TPA to someone with a bleeding stroke because you will just make it worse, so we use a CT scan to figure out if it’s a clot or a bleed situation, or some other cause like a brain tumour,” she added. “We do things to save time like if a patient came into our hospital via an ambulance, we wouldn’t take them off the EMS stretcher, we would keep the patient on that stretcher, take it to the CT lab, so there’s less transfer time used. Because our facility is smaller, we only have three nurses, so we have trailing support by calling other units to send help when needed. Today is all about coordinating the simulation to make us more efficient. We call the stroke neurologist in advance to save time as well. So, the doc will know to go to the stroke bridge to wait for a call via the video conferencing.”
A stroke specialist can examine a CT scans and provide advice remotely.

Camrose doing its part to support refugees By Dan Jensen
Churches and community organizations are being asked to endorse a memorandum of understanding that establishes the organizational structure for a Camrose Refugee Coordinating Committee (CRCC). “We are going to ask them to sign it and appoint two representatives to the new committee,” said Erhard Pinno, a member of the former Camrose Interchurch Refugee Committee following a Oct. 28 meeting at Centra Cam of church representatives and individuals interested in addressing the world’s refugee situation. The committee’s mission will be to encourage and facilitate the sponsor of refugees in Camrose. Members will act as liaison between CRCC and their organization and inform their group of CRCC’s activities. “Sponsoring refugees is more effectively carried out by organizations working cooperatively rather than separately,” said Pinno. “This united effort allows organizations to pool resources in order to achieve together what they could not as easily accomplish alone.” The new committee wants to include any organization that is interested in sponsoring refugees and not restrict membership solely to churches. “The committee that exists now includes Messiah Lutheran Church, the United Church and St. Francis Xavier Church,” said Pinno. “We want to expand that so that non church members are involved as well.” St. Francis Xavier Church is currently sponsoring a mother, father, and three children ages eight, 13 and 17 who were UN refugees in Turkey, and is
St. Francis Xavier Church in Camrose has welcomed the family of left to right Mikhael, Sameer, Nowrdel, Falantina, Nenmar and Domarena.
doing fundraising in order to welcome three other families. “The number of people we can accept will depend on the amount of money that we can raise,” said St. Francis Xavier spokesman Joe McMorrow. Churches or organizations interested in sponsoring refugees may do so in partnership with other organizations to relieve some of the financial burden and reduce any concerns they may have about the character of the refugees. “The federal government contributes funding for certain types of sponsorships,” said Pinno. Camrose Church of God representative John Bruneau said his church leadership team is interested in exploring co-sponsorship opportunities and accessing information on how to access federal funds. Les Parsons said the
United Church is trying to get two or three families to step up and champion refugee welcoming efforts. “We have the funds and would be able to sponsor a family,” he said. Resurrection Lutheran Church representatives Kate Gael and Adrianna Hansen noted that their church is looking at establishing a core group and a fundraising campaign. “We brought the idea to the elders and they think it (welcoming refugees) is a good idea,” said Gael. Messiah Lutheran Church has given congregational approval for the sponsorship of another refugee family and will be meeting Nov. 4 to discuss the fundraising it needs to do to support the family. “We have not chosen the family yet,” said Pinno. “That will hopefully be done by Christmas time.” St. Francis Xavier Church representa-
tive Lawrence Dufresne expressed concerns, based on the last two weeks of the federal election campaign where the subject of welcoming refugees created divisiveness, on how Camrose would receive more refugee families, and suggested that the memorandum of understanding should state that sponsors need to always respect the traditions of those people. “A lot of communities seem to be dismissive of traditions of immigrants and make them out to be people that we should fear,” he said. City councillor Bill Sears, a member of the United Church, said City council can promote the needs and work of the refugee committee by inviting committee spokespeople to a do a presentation at one of its meetings, and provide a letter of support stating that it recognizes
the urgency of the refugee situation. He said the City of Camrose is a member of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities that is setting up a task force to address the settlement of Syrian refugees. The new CRCC is hoping to take a long term view in regard to refugees so that they will always be welcomed. “I would like to see (the actions we take) be the norm rather than anything special,” said Pinno. “My hope is that no matter how small we start in a congregation or any other group there will always be that potential to do something. If it was really our brother or sister who were included in that group of refugees we would do a lot more to bring them safely to Camrose.” Pinno said there are many more joys associated with sponsoring refugee families than there are hardships. “I think all of us who have been involved in sponsorship have experienced that again and again: the joy of seeing a family when it arrives, with tears flowing. They cannot believe we have done this and they ask us why we sponsor them. It is a sharing of ourselves from a Christian and a non Christian perspective. If we care about the people in those lineups that are fleeing for their lives we need to find a way to stress the urgency, the immediacy and the long term objectives of bringing people to Camrose.” The meeting to formally establish the Camrose Refugee Coordinating Committee will be held at Centra Cam Vocational Training Association meeting room starting at 7 p.m. on Nov. 25.
Alberta steps up support of refugee relief efforts Responding to the growing humanitarian crisis, Alberta is joining forces with the Red Cross in aid of Syrian refugees. “The Alberta Government is proud to stand with Albertans who are responding with compassion to the tragic scenes of Syrian refugees attempting to flee the violence of civil war,” said Premier Rachel Notley. “Our contributions on behalf of all Albertans will help meet the most critical needs of those forced to escape their own homeland and encourage Albertans to donate by matching their donations. As well, resources will be available to settlement agencies in Alberta to
ensure that support services are available for refugees arriving in our province.” The Alberta Government has agreed to provide $75,000 in immediate funding in support of the Canadian Red Cross response to Europe’s migration and refugee crisis. Additionally, the province has agreed to match donations by Albertans to a maximum of $75,000. Alberta’s contribution will aid in the Red Cross’ efforts to provide refugees and migrants with essential relief items such as food, clothing, water, hygiene and medical assistance. Recognizing that the current crisis demands a
longer-term solution, the Alberta Government has further pledged an additional $100,000 to Albertabased settlement agencies. This funding will help provide support to refugees who settle in Alberta. As Canada’s response becomes clear, the Government of Alberta will work with its federal, provincial and community partners to address this international humanitarian crisis. Over the longer term, the goal is to ensure supports are in place to help these families successfully settle into life in Alberta. “The ongoing conflict in Syria and increasing instability in its neighbour-
ing countries has taken a tremendous toll on families who have been forced to flee their homes,” said Jenn McManus, provincial director for Alberta, Canadian Red Cross. “The contributions of individual Albertans matched by the Province of Alberta to the Red Cross Refugee Crisis Appeal will help to meet the urgent needs of men, women and children affected by this crisis.” “We thank the provincial government for this response to the current refugee crisis,” said Alice Colak, vice-president of immigration and settlement service, Catholic Social Services. “We look forward to
working with our partners to welcome and settle these Syrian families in our communities.” Emergency relief funding will be drawn from existing resources and will be administered by the Emergency Disaster Relief Program of Alberta Culture and Tourism. Funding to assist in refugee settlement will be provided through Alberta Jobs, Skills, Training and Labour. Albertans can contribute online to Red Cross Refugee Crisis Appeal. For more information on the Syrian refugee relief effort, contact the Red Cross at 1-800-418-1111.

2016 Chev Impala Standing out from the rest
Graeme Davidson
By Dan Jensen
The 2016 Impala at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC doesn’t just stand on its own with the world’s premium sedans. It stands out entirely. “The overwhelming sense in the new Impala is one of contemporary luxury,” indicates Kelly Blue Book’s KBB.com. The thoughtfully designed LTZ interior makes every journey pure pleasure. Meticulous French stitching and available simulatedwoodgrain trim accentuate the flowing instrument panel, which wraps you in ergonomic convenience, while the available heated steering wheel with a power tilt/ telescoping feature combines with available heated and ventilated leather-appointed front seats to offer yearround comfort. The available 203 mm (eight-inch) diagonal colour touch-screen includes hidden, lockable storage behind the display to stow valuables safely out of reach. It also includes a USB port for charging your smartphone. The sounds of the outside world seem to disappear thanks to triple-sealed doors and acoustic laminated glass.
Chevrolet MyLink with Bluetooth wireless technology makes it easy to connect to calls, music, contacts and more on the go – all by using natural voice commands or the touch screen display. Directions are provided by OnStar Turn-by-Turn Navigation, which is standard for six months. Apple CarPlay compatibility lets you interact with some of your iPhone apps. Apple CarPlay takes the iPhone features you’d want to access while driving and puts them on the touch screen display in a smart, simple manner. You’ll have access to Phone, Music, Maps and Messages. Siri Eyes Free lets you compose and read text messages, access your calendar, get game scores, check the weather and more. Chevrolet is the first and only car company to offer built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi to cars, trucks and crossovers, providing the ability to seamlessly connect your smart devices and vehicles to the Internet. After initial setup, whenever your vehicle is on, OnStar 4G LTE WiFi is automatically on too. It offers great signal quality
and bandwith for up to seven devices. High marks for safety
With high-strength steel forming a rigid structure around the passenger compartment and 10 standard airbags, Impale establishes a solid foundation for safety. OnStar Automatic Crash Response uses built-in sensors that can alert a specially trained OnStar advisor, who is connected to your Impala to see if you need help – even if you can’t ask for it. Advisors can use GPS technology to pinpoint your location and request emergency help. The OnStar RemoteLink Mobile App lets you remote start your vehicle, pinpoint your vehicle’s location on a map, manage your Wi-Fi hotspot, unlock your doors and monitor your fuel level and oil life, all from your smartphone. Forward Collision Alert identifies vehicles ahead and warns the driver of possible front-end collision threats, helping provide time to stop and/or change course. If the system determines that a front-end collision with a detected vehicle is imminent, it alerts to the driver to a potential crash. It also warns the driver if the Impala is
following a detected vehicle much too closely. Lane Departure Warning uses a camera mounted near the interior rear-view mirror to read traffic lane markings when identifiable and provides audible and visual alerts if you unintentionally change lanes without signalling. Side Blind Zone Alert uses radar sensors on both sides of the vehicle to “look” for other vehicles in your side mirror blind zones and indicates their presence with LED-lit symbols in the exterior mirrors. Using the same radar sensors as the Side Blind Zone Alert system, Rear Cross Traffic Alert alerts you to crossing traffic behind the Impala when backing up. Audible warnings, as well as visual alerts on the rear vision camera screen, are triggered if approaching vehicles are detected. When travelling in reverse at slow speeds, the available rear vision camera provides a real-time picture of the area immediately behind the Impala on the touch screen display. Front Automatic Braking helps prevent or mitigate collisions at low speeds. The system alerts the driver if the
lead vehicle slows unexpectedly. Performance
With an available 305 horsepower 3.6 litre V6 matched to an electronically controlled six-speed automatic transmission, Impala leaps from 0 to 96 km/h in 6.8 seconds. The four cylinder 196 horsepower Ecotec 2.5 litre engine combines Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing and stop/start technology to help save fuel. Stop/ start technology can automatically shut off the engine when stopped and enables a smooth transition when the brake pedal is released. A stiff body structure and athletic stance allowed Impala engineers to precisely tune ride and handling. Premium electric rack-andpinion steering provides crisp, responsive handling. The tight steering radius is enhanced by a variableeffort feature which increases power assistance during low-speed manoeuvres. See the 2016 Chevrolet Impala at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

KidSport seeks support to help youth activities By Murray Green
KidSport Camrose has made a huge impact in the community over the last three years. Already this year, KidSport has helped 83 youth with $28,930 that went towards registration fees and other costs associated with participating in activities such as sports, dance and learning camps. “Things are going really well for us, which is a great news story. It is good to help people, but I didn’t expect such an increase in demand. We are asking the community for support in helping us to get youth involved in programs that are life long learning activities. The demand for financial assistance has been growing and we are having a little trouble keeping up with the demand,” said KidSport Camrose president Dean Threinen. In 2014, KidSport assisted 55 youth with $13,050 in expenses. The first year the organization helped 35 youth with $8,088. Local organizers spent 2012 getting the group launched and the program running. “The numbers have gone up because of the awareness that KidSport now has in our community. I didn’t expect the demand to go from $13,000 to more than $28,000. That is huge and an amount we didn’t budget for – more than double from last year. And, we are not even through the year yet,” explained Dean. “We don’t receive government funds, so we need to hold fundraisers. Our next one isn’t until February and we only have $1,000 in our account and that will be gone by then.” KidSport needs help from the community. “These are our children in the community and we to support them,” said Dean. “A big thing we did this year was pay for 12 children to go to Kandu camp through CAFCL. We had several calls saying that if we wouldn’t have funding them, they wouldn’t have the chance to go.” KidSport provides up to $500 per year, per child when funds are available. The average application is for around $380. “I was surprised at first. I thought we would have a lot of hockey applications because it is an expensive sport. But, that is not the case and it is spread out over a number of sports and activities such as dance and swimming. I think parents who don’t have a lot of money tend to enter their children into less expensive activities in the first place,” said Dean. “We see a lot of indoor and outdoor soccer applications, swimming, martial arts and even horseback riding.” KidSport is asking for people to keep their name in mind when donating at this time of year. “All of the money we raise goes towards local children. These are children that go to our schools, our churches and are a part of our community. We help children here and our area includes Camrose County,” Dean added. Tax receipts are available when sending donations to KidSport Alberta (Camrose Chapter) at Suite 318, 6010-48 Avenue, Camrose, AB, T4V 0K3.

Aspiring Chinese curlers learn from Augustana athletes By Murray Green
A group of high school students from China came to Alberta to improve their curling skills. During a tour through Alberta, the students stopped in at the Rose City Curling Club to play the Augustana women’s and men’s teams to learn from a higher level and to improve both skills and techniques. Members of the Camrose Curling Academy toured Harbin, China and surrounding area in September and October, and invited the group to tour Alberta, Canada’s hotbed of curling. “We signed an agreement to twin with a city just north of Harbin in the same province,” said Ken Duggan manager of the academy. The academy involves a partnership of the Rose City Curling Club, the Battle River School Division, the Augustana Campus of the U of A and the City of Camrose.
Curlers in action
Gingang Wang, principal of a high school specializing in sports, accepted the challenge of bringing curlers to Alberta. “We have been involved in curling a short time. Everybody knows Canada is number one in the world for curling (and hockey); that’s why our players come here,” said Wang, through interpreter Tom Tan. “We play in some
bonspiels here and try to make big progression. Another reason is to still continue with our twinning.” The curlers want to learn from the best to get better. “We have a lot of training, but not a lot of games for junior curling. It is not enough, that is why we come here,” added Wang. “We want the curlers to play more games. This year
we have the most curlers we have ever had.” Curling is gaining popularity, but the level of play needs to improve to compete with strong countries such as Canada. “We want to learn skills, the mental part of game and gain experience against higher level of competition,” explained Wang. Duggan was excited to have curlers from China visit our city. “This is a great opportunity and we hope they keep coming here to learn curling,” he said. “Maybe they will come here to go to school and be part of our academy. They are looking at that in the future and we talked about it today.” Augustana also has various sports teams and programs for students he hopes Chinese curlers will use to their advantage. “Our school has almost all winter sports like hockey,
curling, speed skating and figure skating,” said Wang. “Our teams expose them to Augustana and it gives our curlers international experience of playing another country. Augustana welcomes international students, so it gives them an option for education. It is another way to link with China,” said Vikings curling coach Roger Galenza. “The more games our teams play the better they become as well. This is one country against the other, not just a team against another. It is a friendly learning competition.” The Chinese delegation thanked Camrose, Ken and Roger for welcoming the curlers to Camrose for extra games and to tour the local area. “We would like to keep this exchange going. When we get back home, we will talk about the things we have learned and how to get better,” said interpreter Tan.

Kodiaks adjusting to new experiences By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks are faced with a new challenge. For the first time this season, the squad suffered two straight losses. Camrose dropped a 4-1 decision to Drayton Valley on Nov. 14 and a 4-0 loss to Spruce Grove the night before. The Thunder rumbled for three straight tallies in the second period to put the bears on the run. Tanner Younghans notched a power play goal in the last three seconds of the middle frame, but the momentum didn’t carry over to the third. Drayton Valley pounded goalie Patrick Gora with 47 shots, while Camrose fired 20 at the Thunder net. Spruce Grove scored one in the first, two in the second and one in the third to post a 4-0 shut out over the Kodiaks. Gora stopped 33 of 37 shots, while Camrose recorded 30 shots on the Spruce grove cage. Bear facts The Kodiaks’ next home contest is on Nov. 26 against the Okotoks Oilers. This will

be the first meeting with the Oilers with former Kodiaks defenceman Drew Weich in the Okotoks line-up. On Nov. 27, the Kodiaks will be supporting National
Diabetes Awareness Month when they take on the Calgary Canucks at 7 p.m. There will be giveaways at the game as the Kodiaks support people with diabetes.
“Imagine what life would be without diabetes. I sure would love to see that come true one day as I live with an amazing person, my wife, who has been
a Type 1 diabetic since age 14. Let us fill the rink and support diabetes month,” said coach and general manager Boris Rybalka.
Green moves up in saddle bronc at NFR By Murray Green
Layton Green of Meeting Creek placed sixth in the regular season of rodeo to qualify for the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton Nov. 11 to 15. The top 12 make it to the finals. He moved up to fifth in the saddle bronc event for the year including the finals, but more importantly the 21-year-old rider left Edmonton with $21,825 in his back pocket. Although his goal was to win the Canadian title, he earned more money in one week than he did in the qualifying circuit to reach the finals. He earned more than $42,885 just north of the border alone. In Edmonton he started the week off by receiving an 83.25 score for a share of fourth place on Wednesday. His second run was unkind and he didn’t last eight seconds, but he responded with an 82.25 score in round three for fifth place. The highlight of the weekend came in the Saturday matinee when he scored an 84.5 ride for first place. In the evening he came close with an 83.5 for fourth spot and on Sunday he had another steady ride for an 84.5 and fourth place. That helped him to move into fifth place for the year. Camrose team ropers Justin and Brett McCarroll combined for a 6.8 time on Wednesday for fourth spot. The team was quicker with a 5.5 on Thursday for third place and a no time was

recorded in the third round. They roped a calf in 9.4 seconds for third place in the Saturday matinee, had no time in the evening and were seventh with a 13.6 time on Sunday. The local cowboys finished the year in fifth place. Lonnie West of Cadogan was bucked off in the first three rounds in bull riding, but he bounced back with an 86.25 ride to come in second in the Saturday matinee, rode an 83.25 for fourth later in the day and scored an
82.25 on Sunday for fifth. He finished the season in sixth place. Braidy Howes of Metiskow recorded a time of 14.952 in the first run. She had a 14.899 in the second round for seventh, had a faster 14.769 time to place second in the third round, was timed at 14.928 for seventh in the Saturday matinee, slipped to a 19.715 time in the evening and was timed at 14.979 on Sunday for fifth. She ended up in eighth place for the season.
Bareback rider Clint Laye, of Cadogan, scored an 82.75 on his first ride to place fourth, and had an 84.5 to place fourth on Thursday. He won the event in round three with an 88 score, was marked with an 81.75 in the Saturday matinee, had a no time in the evening, and was 10th with a 79.75 on Sunday. He placed sixth overall this season. Donalda boys Curtis and Cody Cassidy and Scott Guenthner of Consort competed in steer wrestling.
Curtis grabbed his first steer in 4.9 seconds for fifth place, won the second goround with a 4.4 time, followed with a 4.5 for sixth in the third round, recorded a 4.5 time for third in the Saturday matinee, recorded a 4.2 in the evening for third spot and he packed it in with a 6.3 time, which was good enough for him to finish the year with a championship buckle. Guenthner had a tougher first go with a 14.7 time. He recorded a 6.2 time for eighth on Thursday, timed a seven second run on Friday, had an 8.8 second run in the Saturday matinee, a 4.4 time in the evening for fourth place and wrapped up the season with a 3.3 second time on Sunday to win the event. He ended the season in a fifth place tie. Cody recorded a no time in his first attempt, a 4.5 time for third place in round two, won the third round with a quick 3.7 seconds, was second with a 4.4 seconds in the Saturday matinee, had a 10.3 second run in the evening and finished the event in fourth with a 4.2 second run. He came in second overall, just behind Curtis. In steer riding, Cauy Lawes of Wainwright was bucked off on Wednesday, scored a 79 on day two for second place, and was bucked off on round three. He won the fourth round with an 81 score, recorded no ride in the evening and wrapped it up with a 79.75 score. He placed sixth overall for the year.

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

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, November 24, 2015 – Page 46
CCHS adds four more to Wall of Fame Camrose Composite High School inducted former students Marni Panas, Robert Broen and Gerald Pilger and former teacher Ivar Saugen into its Wall of Fame Nov. 20. The Camrose Composite High School Wall of Fame was started in 2004 to recognize former students and teachers who have established themselves as leaders in their chosen vocations and who have made significant contributions to society, to celebrate the school’s proud history, and to inspire current students to challenge themselves in their future careers and in service to others. The ceremony is open to the public. Marni Panas Marni graduated from CCHS in 1989, from NAIT with diplomas in administrative management and computer systems technology, and from Athabasca University with a degree in health administration. Her career highlights include managing the design and implementation of software providing payroll and benefit administration worth more than a billion dollars annually, coordinating all aspects of family centred care at the Stollery Children’s Hospital and senior management at Alberta Health Services. The premature birth of sons Alex and Andrew in 2006 led Marni and her wife Laurina to the great work done at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. Following the loss of Andrew at four months, she became a tireless volunteer for neo-

natal intensive care in the Capital region. Marni completed gender transition in April 2014. She is a prominent and respected person advocate for LGBT youth struggling with gender identity, and her expertise is sought in North America, Europe, and Australia. Marni’s work has been featured in local print and broadcast media and was recently recognized by the John Humphrey Centre for Human Rights, which awarded her the prestigious Human Rights Award in 2014. She remains true to her goal of helping create a society that celebrates diversity. Marni, Laurina, and Alex live in Edmonton. Robert Broen Rob graduated from CCHS in 1987, and holds a BSc in chemical engineering from the University of Alberta. He is also a graduate of the Richard Ivey School of Business at
the University of Western Ontario. Rob began his career in Saskatchewan as an oil production engineer. He spent 18 years at Talisman Energy in a range of increasingly senior technical and management roles. He advanced to president, Talisman Energy USA, in Pittsburg, and eventually to senior vice president, North American Shale at head office in Calgary. In 2013, he moved to Athabaska Oil Corporation in Calgary, where he currently serves as president and CEO of the multi billion dollar corporation, aiming to develop extensive oil sands and shale properties. An avid outdoorsman and active volunteer, Rob lives in Calgary with his wife and three teenage children. Gerald Pilger Gerald graduated from CCHS in 1973, and was
granted a BSc in agricultural economics in 1977. After three years with Alberta Agriculture, he returned to the family farm near Ohaton and showed himself to be a rural renaissance man. He designed and built the house where he and Cheryl would raise their family, and the prosperous farm is a testament to hard work and good management. He continues to do extensive contract work in agricultural sales, field trials, and employee performance. His freelance articles on agricultural concerns are widely published in Canada and the US, and he won national recognition in 2009. Gerald organized Canada’s first 4-H Drama Club and is a leading participant in all aspects of community theatre. He has appeared in film and television and was honoured by the Aga Khan Society for his work in foreign aid, especially in India. His volunteer work has included 4-H, the Viking Cup, United Grain Growers, and the Goldeye Centre. Gerald and Cheryl have three adult daughters and two grandchildren. Ivar Saugen Ivar graduated from the U of C with a physical education degree in 1970 and earned his teaching credential the next year. In 1971, he was hired to teach physical education at CCHS. After five years, his teaching assignment changed to science, mostly biology. A rock solid and exemplary teacher and coach, Ivar continued until his retirement. A high number of his former students have pursued careers in medicine or the sciences, and many have credited his enthusiasm and rigor in their success. His model purebred charolais herd was built on his application of genetic theory.
His volunteer work includes significant contributions to Messiah Lutheran Church, the Alberta Schools Athletic Association, the Alberta Games Society, the Camrose Ski Club and the Camrose Regional Exhibition. Ivar and Carole continue to live on the farm, though now without the cattle. They have three adult daughters and eight grandchildren. Previous CCHS Wall of Fame inductees include: Dr. Donna Morrow, Dan Busi, Doug Tien and Alex Oliver in 2014; Dr. John Andersen, Dr. Beth Balshaw, Dan Olofson and Max Lindstrand in 2013; Rod Wensley, Ian Stewardson, Dr. Frank Hohn and Cindy Bailey Gordichuk in 2012; Cliff Hoyme, Douglas Bieber, Sandy Dong and Greta Reiten in 2011; Donna Shantz, Neil Johnston, Donna Durand, Larry Johnson and Steve Mitts in 2010; Kaye Rud, Dr. Christoph Weder, Dr. Eric Saude and James Mayer in 2009; Glen Lett, Deb Lentz, Sherry Knutsvig and Ron Grue in 2008; Lyle Byers, Brian R. Burrows, Peter Stalenhoef and William A. Andreassen in 2007; Edith Dayton, Harold McBain, Nathan Naslund and Leigh Anne Williams in 2006; Leon H. Lohner, Brian Bailey, Don Ritter and Lieutenant-Colonel Randal Torpe in 2005; and Hugh Irving, Yvonne Becker, Dr. John Elliott and Dr. Ronald Lett in 2004. Nominees for the Distinguished Alumna/us Award must have graduated from CCHS and have contributed substantially to society. Nominees for the Distinguished Faculty Award must have been a teacher on the staff of CCHS for a minimum of 10 years, have been retired for at least two years, and have contributed significantly to the school.
Ivar Saugen, Marni Panas, Gerald Pilger, and Robert Broen hold the Wall of Fame plaques they received at the Camrose Composite High School Nov. 20.

Kinette Silent Santa Continued from page 14
While the club today still supports the Camrose Women’s Shelter, the Camrose Boys and Girls Club, the Camrose Children’s Centre, Learning Together and school breakfast programs, the focus has shifted more towards providing social opportunities for women and allowing them to make important connections in the community. Members are able to develop their public speaking and organizational skills, and gain insights on what it takes to run a successful meeting. “We have nine members at the present time (down from over 50 at one point) who range in age from the mid twenties to past retirement and direct their energy to causes that are important to the community,” said Kathy. The thing that impresses Christine the most about the club’s members is how well they function as a team. “The women in the club are women I respect and admire because of how hard working they are,” said Christine. “They are raising children, they are working full time and they are volunteering in their own off hours.” Camrose Kinette Club dinner meetings are held the third Tuesday of every month at different city restaurants. Anyone who is interested in attending to see what it is all about or whether it would be a fit is encouraged to call Kathy at 780608-8073.
Do I have to go to university to become a Philanthropist? Philanthropy is a marvelous quality that each of us has inside. It’s a generosity of spirit, a desire to help, and a firm belief that you can make a real difference in your community regardless of how much or how little you have to give.
City proposing 2.8 percent tax levy hike Continued from page 4
Mayor Norm Mayer noted that the roads are being given preferred status. “They have been deteriorating badly and unless we make some improvements in those areas we will wind up losing the base of those roads and it will be even more costly.” Mayer added that the refurbishment of the Camrose Aquatic Centre and the Camrose Public Works facility will extend the life of those facilities by another ten years at least. City infrastructure and planning services acting general manager Jeremy Enarson told council the budget includes a 3.5 percent increase in water and waste water rates. Councillor Max Lindstrand said he is not comfortable with a municipal subsidy of $292,000 for the Camrose Golf Course, and suggested that council look at reducing golf course expenditures by $70,000. “I am concerned about the fact that we have declining revenue at the golf course and increasing expenditures, and that seems to me to be a recipe for disaster.” Lindstrand also suggested that council make the decision to phase out the taxi subsidy and commit more to a pilot project scheduled bus service that would be administered by the City and be focused on, but not be limited to, servicing seniors. “I think it should be one or the other,” he said. Mayor Mayer said the City is not in the position to be able to put in place a full scale transit system, but with the bus that has been donated could offer a scheduled bus service that would stop at the lodges at designated times. “We would not run it on an hour or an hour and a half basis and cover all the locations. That is not in the cards.” Salary and benefits account for 47 percent of projected budget expenses, followed by contracted services at 12 percent, transfers at eight percent, transfer to capital and equipment charges (each at seven percent), utilities at six percent, materials and miscellaneous at five percent, principal on long term debt and equipment purchases (each at three percent), and interest and bank charges at two percent. Taxation accounts for 63 percent of all revenue, followed by sales and rentals at 17 percent, reserves and other funds at 10 percent, licences, permits and fines at five percent, government grants and transfers at four percent, and return on investments at one percent. The Community Services department is responsible for 21 percent of budget expenditures and 23 percent of revenues. Public Works and Transportation is responsible for 18 percent of budget expenses and 19 percent of revenues, while the Camrose Police Service is responsible for 17 percent of expenditures and 15 percent of revenues. Community Services general manager Ryan Poole told council he is currently drafting a policy on facilities fee recovery, which he hopes to present later this year or early in 2016. “In this budget our fees are similar to the previous year,” he said. “They were just given a cost of living increase. We are trying to achieve a certain return at recreation centres and other centres as well.”
Frieda Ness, philanthropist, has the spirit. She is shown with Dana Andreassen, Executive Director of the Battle River Community Foundation, who received with gratitude, her most recent contribution to the Ness Family Fund. Frieda explained that the fund was established by her late husband, Gordy, to give something back to Augustana, formerly known as Camrose Lutheran College, and to the community that had been good to them. Back in 1935, Gordy’s dad, Sivert Ness, was facing real challenges on the family farm and providing for his young family. He faced the challenge by establishing Ness’ Dairy. His first customer was the college, which enabled the dairy business to survive the early years and allowed him to put the Ness children through school. The dairy business flourished, expanding to provide door-to-door
DEFINITELY NOT!
delivery to homes throughout the community until Gordy’s retirement. Gordy and Frieda thought the Foundation was “a neat idea” because it fosters the concept of “community doing something together.” With the encouragement of David Stolee, our first Executive Director, they chose to “give back” to the community, through the Foundation. Using this vehicle, they endowed a scholarship to be awarded annually at Augustana, with preference that it be given to a student in financial need, who has demonstrated leadership qualities. The Battle River Community Foundation can help you fulfill your philanthropic dream – big or small – right here at home. We can help you make your dream a reality. Philanthropy resides in everyone, and together we can make it flourish right here in our own backyard. Contributions received before year end will receive a charitable donation receipt that can be applied against your 2015 income taxes.
