United Church reflects all the colours of the rainbow

By Murray Green Things at Camrose United Church are no longer viewed in black and white.

The church reflects the full spectrum of the rainbow and a celebration of becoming an affirming congregation will be held on March 6 at 10 a.m. A sign with a rainbow is planned near the front entrance.

That means the church is a welcoming and open place where everyone can come for worship and fellowship, regardless of their beliefs, gender status, race or age.

“The reason I am a member of the United Church is because it is an open and accepting church. It is open to everyone, and we are all God’s children. In my own personal life I struggled initially with changes in the United Church; however, my wife, who grew up in downtown Vancouver had friends who struggled as drug addicts,” said long time member Leon Lohner. “She talked to me a lot and it made my struggle easier. I understand those who struggle; and I appreciate their feelings. However, it isn’t up to me to judge them. If you believe in the Bible, there are higher powers who make that judgment. I’m happy we think this way now.”

It wasn’t enough to just say the church is welcoming; official steps had to be taken.

“Part of that was looking at church policies and procedures to make sure they were inclusive. We came up with a statement that doesn’t just include gender identity, but we added ethnic identity, age, ability and social class.

The next step is to make our affirming statement visible and public,” explained Joy-Anne Murphy, one of the church leaders. “The second sentence is vital. It says we are committed to being an affirming church. It is easy to put on paper, but we know there are challenges. We actually had some challenging questions on social class and age ability. Someone thought they were being pushed out because of their social class or age and we had to address those concerns.

“For me, it starts with communication. If we are

Katie Hauser 780.781.4875

Loni Bergum 780.385.2000

challenged by someone or a group of people it changes our comfort level. We have a need to communicate with each other. We have a lot of great resources here at the church, not just books, but people with experience and training to help us. It’s about taking someone new to our church aside and explaining to them when they should and shouldn’t respond to the readings in the service.”

A church can be welcoming, but teaching is a big part of it. “I think it is natural for a church to be welcoming. To me, that is the way it is supposed to be.

It took me a long time to get there, but about 30 years ago I started to accept gay ministers. Once I accepted that, then everything else fell into place. I can’t imagine that being an issue now. Now people don’t have to feel that they have to justify who they are,” said Pat Stetar, a committee leader. “I’m not here to judge anybody. I am here to accept and help people. I can’t see it as being an issue.”

We are all God’s children.

“I think it is important what we are doing. It is important to include everybody because some don’t have anybody to turn to, or don’t understand what faith is,” shared a welcoming Margaret Wallace.

“When people come to our church they will notice there are no barriers here. We try to be as inclusive as we can be and be open. I’m a warm fuzzy person and if everyone receives a warm and fuzzy from everyone it makes it a lot more comfortable. I’m known as a hugger. I feel God guides me. We need to all be more open to hugs and love. Everyone who comes through those doors needs to feel welcome. If you show love to somebody it makes their day and if we all could do that, the world would be a better place.”

The United Church had several conversations about allowing gay minsters years ago, but finally agreed with about 84 per cent in favour.

A few years later the church decided to become an affirming church, but that process was a journey, not just a simple vote.

“We wanted a safe place for people to go to. We believe that we shouldn’t discrimi-

Trevor Vinet 780.878.1734

Rick Nygaard 780.608.0675

nate against anyone. Our church gave us a mandate to do what it takes to become an affirming congregation.

We had to make a statement about us as a congregation, about including all people,” said vice-chair of the church council Brian Nelson.

That statement is that Camrose United Church welcomes all people – the full spectrum of gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnic identity, age and social class.

“We are committed to being a safe community and celebrating the gift diversity brings. All are invited to fully participate in worship and work in our community. It includes all people and that is a serious challenge,” added Brian. “It starts with education. We have brought in people to talk about the Open Door and the Indigenous concerns so we understand the problems and needs of others. The church has been open in that regard for many years.”

Creating awareness of the challenges of other people is a good way of understanding others.

“Once you learn that we have a group working with refugees, then you begin to understand what challenges they have. It is easy to say we are not going to discriminate. It is harder to put that into practice. You find yourself saying things a different way to not be hurtful to some people,” added Brian.

“It takes 20 seconds to make a good impression, but many hours to undo a bad one. We are working on making that good first impression with signage, rainbow flags and a quilted banner with our mission statement. We are planning on four workshops to educate members.

Our greeters are important.

It isn’t just a handshake, but when you see someone new, you help them find what they need.

“It is hard to debate other religious beliefs, so we don’t. We welcome everyone and show them what we are about and what we have to offer. People in our congregation have changed their views over the years and have walked the path to love everyone. That is what Jesus did.”

Make a difference

By Lori Larsen Camrose Emergency Clothing and Furniture Depot coordinator Jamie Griffiths is one of six finalists in Lethbridge Community College’s (LCC) Extreme Career Makeover contest.

The finalists were selected from 360 applicants based on their community leadership and vision of what they hope to do after they have completed the post secondary program.

“I am hoping to be able to put the knowledge I gain towards working with people with disabilities, primarily youth within the correctional system,” commented Jaimie.

“I want to be able to make a difference. The prison systems are filled with people with disabilities and they don’t have a lot of the supports they need.

Jaimie discovered the contest while searching Lethbridge Community College’s site for courses offered through distance learning.

For Jaimie, the opportunity to continue her education while taking care of her children, remaining at her job and staying in Camrose was an important factor in choosing a college.

“Correctional studies can be taken online and I was looking for a college where I could do distance learning,” explained Jaimie.

While living in North Battleford Jaimie began taking courses in Child and Youth Care however she suspended her post secondary education to raise her children.

Now that her children are old enough she wants to finish so she can fuel her passion to make a difference in the lives of youth who are, for one reason or another, serving sentences or court orders in correctional facilities.

“You have to advocate for people,” said Jaimie. “I just don’t think there is a strong presence of people (within the correctional system) that understand disabilities and that each type of disability has to be treated differently.”

The two finalists for the contest will be determined by the number of votes each contestant receives. The two with the most votes will then be judged by a panel.

The winner will receive tuition, books and residence fees for up to four semesters beginning in September 2016. The runner up will receive tuition for up to four semesters beginning in September 2016.

Because Jaimie will be furthering her education through distance learning, if she should be the first place winner she would forfeit the residence fees to another student (possibly the runner up).

Winning either first or second place would be a tremendous benefit to her.

Jaimie remarked about being the oldest contestant, “I

REFLECTIONS

by Bonnie Hutchinson Get Help Once upon a time, a few months after my children left home, I looked around and realized that everywhere I looked something bugged me.

Dust bunnies here, piles of clutter there, a winter’s grime on the windows, a half-finished project radiating “guilt! guilt! guilt!” You get the idea. Perhaps you’ve been there too.

A flickering thought in the back of my mind whispered, “Get help with cleaning.” The next thought was, “That’s ridiculous.”

For the next few minutes, I had what I would now call an argument between my wise self and my judgmental self.

Well actually, only the judgmental self was speaking. “I didn’t have cleaning help all the years I was raising kids and working long hours and could really have used the help. Why now? I should be able to blahblahblah…” ***

One day I couldn’t stand the mess any more. I put an ad in The Camrose Booster, asking for someone to help clean my home.

The first few calls were discouraging. The applicants mostly talked about what they wouldn’t do, and how much they charged. Nobody asked what I wanted. My summary of what I heard was, “I don’t do windows and I cost a lot.”

It seemed ironic. I had finally “capitulated” by asking for help, and the kind of help I wanted didn’t seem to be out there. ***

And then I got another phone call.

“Are you still looking for someone to clean your house?” a soft voice asked.

“Yes.” “I’m a corner cleaner.”

“Pardon me?”

“I clean in the corners, not just the places you can see.”

SCIENCE FAIR AT AUGUSTANA

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster This year’s science fair held at University of Alberta Augustana hosted a variety of projects from Our Lady of Mount Pleasant and Charlie Killam Grade 7 students.

Deputy Fire Chief Joe Mah is seen here judging The Testing of Household Chemicals project.

Tree pruning program underway The Community Services Department has hired a contractor to carry out pruning of boulevard trees that will continue until the end of March. The pruning will include raising the canopies to avoid conflict with

vehicles and maintenance equipment, pruning out dead wood, and removing diseased material. Please watch for signs and use caution in these areas: 57 Street to 63 Street between Marler Drive and 45 Avenue (site

specific areas); 45 Street to 50 Street between 45 Avenue and 48 Avenue; 56 Street to 58 Street between 50 Avenue and 51 Avenue.

***

When I met her in person, I realized we’d known each other when we were both growing up. Her name was different now. She’d left an abusive situation, moved back to town with no money, and hoped maybe she could support herself and her children by cleaning.

She was my angel! The first time she cleaned my home, she mentioned, “I polished the back of the piano.”

I was astonished. “Well, if you don’t polish it, dust collects back there,” she explained. I’d never thought about that degree of cleanliness.

My home sparkled in every corner. No dust bunny would dare enter the space. The floors gleamed, the bathrooms sparkled, cupboards and drawers were organized, the windows were crystal clear. Everywhere I looked something delighted me.

I was amazed by how much more secure I felt, how much better I could think and how my mood improved. My home was truly my sanctuary. Now that I could think, I actually generated more income. ***

Of course I raved about my angel to all my friends and relatives. A few of them asked if she would work for them too.

They raved to their friends and relatives. In very little time, my angel had “a full practice.” In a few years, she learned to drive, got a driver’s licence and bought a car. A few years after that, she bought a house. I was thrilled to see her flourishing. ***

So why is it so hard to ask for help? For me, usually some or all of five reasons: I think I should be able to do it myself; I’m embarrassed to admit I need help; I think I can’t afford it; I don’t believe the kind of help I need exists; I’m so ignorant I don’t know what to ask for. ***

As I get older and more comfortable acknowledging my limits, it’s easier to ask for help. I’ve learned to feel okay about asking for help with stuff I don’t like so I can focus on stuff I do like. I’ve learned to ask for “results” (a clean sparkly house) rather than “tasks” (do the fridge). I’ve learned to be matter of fact about what I can afford. When I remember how my cleaning angel enriched my life, it’s easier to ask for help.

When I do, I’m amazed how what I need shows up.

Got something bugging you? Go ahead. Ask for help!

Proposed Bill 6 consultations are inadequate

The proposed Bill 6 “consultation” sessions are not adequate for the following reasons: 1. A farmer/rancher has to be “nominated” to even possibly make it to one of the twelve “technical working group” (TWG) Consultation Tables.

2. Those nominations get “vetted” (apparently already in progress) by both the Agriculture and Labour departments, which further diminishes the chances of that nominated person getting to the TWG Consultation Tables.

3. The government “has control over the tone and outcomes” based on who they allow to represent it for this “consultation” process.

So how “fair” will the subsequent “report” be? (...just another pre-determined outcome, much like the recent Royalty Review).

4. The proposed sites for these six consultation sessions are being held in Alberta’s major big cities...as inconvenient, and far-removed from, Alberta’s rural communities as possible.

5. The consultation sessions are scheduled from March through August.

Poor timing, because farmers/ ranchers are busy calving (lambing), and haying (“making hay while the sun shines”), and this year, due to the dry mild winter, seeding (early) and harvesting (in late August).

6. There will only be six TWG consultation groups, with 12 people at each table.

7. That means if one of Alberta’s 614,855 farming/ ranching population (2011 census) is lucky enough to be nominated in the first place, fills out a six-page government form, and then passes AB Ag’s and Labour’s vetting tests, that person MIGHT

qualify to be one of the 72 people sitting at the six TWG Consultation Tables. That does not sound very “accessible” does it? About as likely as winning a lottery!

This after-the-fact Bill 6 “sop” (under the guise of “consultation”), intended to pacify/placate and/or appease Alberta’s farmers/ ranchers, is not the change Albertans expect from this new NDP Government.

Albertans’ voices are still not being heard.

Marion Leithead, Bawlf Scam warning

Recently we received a very believable telephone call, supposedly from Canadian Revenue Agency. The person said that he was with the investigation branch of CRA. Listening closely he introduced himself as Sean White but had a telltale far east accent. There was a telephone number very close to some of the numbers that CRA uses. Please be cautious. This is a scam to extract money, or at least, personal information from you.

World Day of Prayer Service March 4 The national flower of Cuba is the white butterfly jasmine. Cuban women have used the flower not only as an adornment for their hair, but also to transmit messages during liberation wars, and as a sign of their being Cuban. There can be no better emblem for the 2016 World Day of Prayer service written by the World Day of Prayer committee of Cuba. The service transmits their witness and experiences of being Cuban and Christians, even when their faith meant isolation within the country they love.

With the triumph of the Revolution, a trade embargo by the United States brought Cuba economic isolation and material scarcity.

Within Cuba a similar isolation formed around people of faith in the officially atheist state. Now the embargo is lifting, but uncertainty remains for the Cuban people. What can these women tell the rest of the world about how faith endures a secular world, of material and social challenges, and of hope?

On March 4, Christians in more than 170 countries and in 2,000 communities across Canada will gather to learn about, pray for and celebrate Cuba in solidarity with the women of Cuba through the World Day of Prayer. A local World Day of Prayer service will be held at Bethel Lutheran Church starting at 1:30 on Friday, March 4. For more information on the World Day of Prayer service contact Karen Hansen at 780-6724643.

In Canada, the World Day of Prayer is coordinated by the Women’s InterChurch Council of Canada.

For World Day of Prayer materials or to learn more about WICC, visit the website at www.wicc.org or contact Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada, 47 Queen’s Park Crescent East, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 2C3.

Telephone 416-929-5184, email wicc@wicc.org.

The World Day of Prayer has its roots in an ecumenical day of prayer organized by women in Canada and the United States in 1920.

This event became the international World Day of Prayer in 1922, and Christians around the world began celebrating this event on the first Friday of March.

Campaign encourages local shopping

By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose, Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce and the Rural Alberta Business Centre have launched a new campaign to encourage local shopping.

Keep It Local is encouraging shoppers to write their name and positive comments about businesses they visit on the back of catchy-looking cards that will be circulated throughout the community to remind themselves and oth-

ers that every dollar counts and they can make a difference.

“It is not a pay it forward campaign but a campaign to keep it local,” explained Rural Alberta Business Centre small business advisor Louise Jones.

“Shoppers will be able to take it (card) to a business they visit and if they like the service or the product write a nice comment about it. They could say something like ‘I love the sweater I bought at Fringe

Benefits,’ or “I love the shoes I bought at Sole City.’”

The cards will be used multiple times at various businesses until the spaces on the back are completely full.

“We want people, after they had made their comment, to leave them with the store, their neighbour or the girl that serves them at Stockman’s,” said Jones.

“We want to keep them circulating. They are not meant to stay at the business.”

Be Loyal Buy Local

is loosely structured and meant to be fun. “The whole idea is to encourage support for businesses in this time of recession and show this is a community where people step forward for others,” said Jones.

Cards are available at the Chamber office or the Rural Alberta Business Centre. Once they have been completely filled they should be returned to the Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce office.

Comfort comes with four paws and a tail

By Lori Larsen Our pets are far more than just four legged family members we seek out after a long day at work. Besides the love, dedication and support they give to their owners, some pets are now being used for pet therapy, a program that trains them to work for their handlers (owners), providing comfort and benefit to others.

Bittern Lake resident Karen Gibson and her certified pet therapy dog, Booker, are part of this valuable program.

An almost seven-year old Shetland Sheepdog, Booker holds 13 show titles for conformation and obedience, including Canadian Champion.

“Booker was resigned from competition because we accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish,” commented Karen.

“Booker was already fully trained in obedience. He has 13 obedience titles.

“He was the first dog I personally had that I knew would be good for pet therapy.”

Karen made an application to participate in the pet therapy program in October of 2014. By November she and Booker were attending training sessions in Edmonton with the Pet Therapy Society of Northern Alberta. The team completed practicums in January/February, certified and interviewed for venues in February, and began visitations in March of 2015.

“Booker’s temperament was evaluated but I knew he was totally trustworthy. The training was more for me to learn the ropes,” said Karen.

“People (trainers) would touch him all over, put their hands in his mouth and all those sorts of things.

“They would watch him around other dogs other people.

“Then we did some role playing with crutches – peo-

ple with dementia, physical abnormalities or in wheelchairs – and practicums in several Edmonton facilities.”

Karen and Booker provide therapeutic visitation services to several facilities in and around the Camrose area, including seniors’ complexes, schools, libraries and health centres.

“Between March and September (2015) we opened up 21 venues, but have pared down a bit,” commented Karen “We started in Tofield.

Then I interviewed managers

at other venues (including all the Bethany group facilities) and they all accepted.

“We visit approximately 577 people, give or take a few, per month. There is no other team in this area that provides this service.”

A visit from Karen and Booker to one of Camrose’s extended care facilities begins with Booker donning his Pet Therapy scarf, leashing up and heading into the common area to visit residents.

PAWS for a story

By Lori Larsen Almost everybody can remember being asked to read out loud in school in front of the entire class and getting that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, worried about pronouncing something wrong.

For many children reading can be very challenging. With the possibility of being made fun, it can turn into an unpleasant experience.

Enter, Booker a mild mannered Shetland sheepdog and handler Karen Gibson, from Bittern Lake. Together the two are a certified pet therapy team.

The team provides a program called Paws for a story with Booker.

The program gives children an opportunity to sit and read aloud to Booker (therapy dog) and is open to students in Grades 1 to 6.

The program is offered at Camrose Public Library on Monday from 4 to 6 p.m. (by appointment).

Photo by Natural Impressions Graphics and Photography Gabrielle Dupuis, 12, sits and reads a book to Booker the pet therapy dog.

chair which he jumps on and gets ready to work.

From there the true magic begins. Karen wheels Booker around the room visiting individual residents. She (Karen) introduces Booker to the resident then spends a little time with each person, ensuring he/she has an opportunity to pet him or just talk to her and the sweet little dog.

“Because I am not on staff and do not have to tend to their (residents’) personal care I can spend some time with them,” said Karen.

“It is so amazing to see these peoples’ personalities come out.

“Sometimes I will just sit back and let them converse with the dog. They’re talking to him as if they were talking to a friend. They are reminiscing with him and talking about their families or their pets.

Sometimes they talk about how they feel or the things that are bothering them.”

With some residents, Karen will softly give the “Booker, paw,” command, eliciting an immediate response of paw to hand. Some residents will happily return the paw to hand shake while others sit in awe at the obedience and gentleness of the dog.

Watching some of the residents’ faces light up when they see Booker is worth the visit.

Karen speaks thoughtfully of the venues she is happy to attend and the people she and Booker are able to reach out to with support and comfort.

“When I see people withdrawn my heart just goes out.

I look forward to it (volunteer work with pet therapy) every morning when we go. It is five days a week and, although volunteer, it is more like a full time job. But I can’t wait to get going to see what the day brings.

Sometimes there are challenges some times there are none.

“In some of the places we attend they (the residents) walk Booker. If a pianist is available Booker and I will dance around and sing with some of the residents.”

Booker’s laid back personality is a perfect fit for the job and there is no doubt about the benefits he gets.

“He likes the attention, all the ‘good boys’ and ‘I love yous.’

That’s his nature.

“He wants to please me so in turn wants to please others.”

But it is clear, from observing Booker and Karen that he is constantly focused on her and her commands. If Karen wanders a little away Booker will be looking to her for guidance. Karen will then quietly stand behind a resident in order to direct Booker’s attention back their way.

“That is what he is supposed to do – always keep his eye on me,”explained Karen.

In order for Karen and Booker to be a certified pet therapy team they must have updated medical vaccinations (canine and human), current police checks and insurance coverage through the govern-

ing agency, Pet Therapy Society of Northern Alberta.

Besides these requirements the pets used in pet therapy must demonstrate a specific temperament. They must be confident, socially open, friendly, patient and above all, gentle.

Pet therapy is used in hospitals, retirement homes, schools, airports, correctional facilities, rehabilitation units, libraries, long term care facilities, and even disaster sites.

“I know my dog so I know what he is good at,” said Karen.

“He wouldn’t be good in a prison situation if he had to go out and chase after balls.

But there are pet therapy dogs that are great for that.

“He would be good in a prison situation where it is quieter.”

Booker seems to possess a remarkable intuition about the people he visits. He responds to individual moods or dispositions.

“Booker will go up to somebody and everything is just perfect.

“Then he might go up to somebody else and just back off .

“So I might say to the therapist, ‘we are going to back off, Booker has picked up on something.”’

There are generally three categories of therapy pets.

Therapeutic visitation animals are usually family pets. The owners (handlers) share the joy of their pet with others who may not have the ability to have one but benefit from the comfort they bring.

Animal assisted therapy involves pets specifically trained to support physical rehabilitation. The pets help to rehabilitate patients’ fine motor skills, balance, range of motion and interactive skills.

Facility therapy animals usually reside within the actual facility in which they provide therapy. Generally these animals do not have private owners (handlers).

Instead they work alongside the facilities’ employees.

“The difference between privately owned dogs and pet therapy dogs is pet therapy dogs have a job,” said Karen. “When the scarf goes on Booker knows he’s on the clock. Once the scarf comes off he can relax.”

Aside from being a well trained team, the work Booker and Karen do is all volunteer. They give their time to people who are often in need of a compassionate ear, but more over, a compassionate heart.

K aren’s payment comes in the form of comments made to her by the residents she and Booker visit.

“They say it is obvious that we care for them and thank us for coming every week,” she said.

For more information or to book a session(s) with Karen and Booker please call 780-672-0299 or email karengibson68@ yahoo.ca.

Community presents awards to Augustana students

By Lori Larsen The University of Alberta Augustana Campus celebrated the recipients of Community Awards at a banquet on Feb. 24.

Administration, faculty, students, distinguished guests and members of the community joined together for a night of ceremony as recipients from all programs were honoured with awards from community donors.

Likewise, donors were thanked for their generous gifts.

Stephanie Gruhlke,

president, Augustana Students’ association expressed the importance of the awards, scholarships and bursaries to the students.

“What may seem like a small donation on your part truly has a much bigger effect on the students who receive them,” said Gruhlke.

“Take the time over the course of the evening to listen to the stories the students tell.”

Stephanie remarked on the specific benefits students receive from the donors’ gifts.

“There are students here that will be the first in their families to obtain a university degree,” she said.

“There are international students in this room who already carry an increased financial burden and now have the opportunity to call Canada home.

“Because of you there are students here who no longer have to face the unbearable decision of having to chose between buying the required text books or paying their rent.”

Student recipients sat at tables with their respective donors and not only shared their post secondary experiences and gratitude but demonstrated it as well by graciously serving their guests and ensuring all their needs for the evening were met.

The evening included acknowledgements to the students and donors from Camrose County councillor Doug Lyseng, Camrose mayor Norm Mayer, Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger, and Augustana assistant

director of development Bree Urkow.

Rebecca Pospolita, recipient of the Augustana Dean’s Entrance Citation, concluded the evening with a response on behalf of the award recipients.

“It is important that we have an evening like this where we take the time and make the effort to express our thankfulness,” said Pospolita.

“The support you have given us will go a long way to help us do our studies and achieve our goals.”

Augustana presents Distinguished Alumni Award to Olson

By Lori Larsen The University of Alberta Augustana Campus presented a Distinguished Alumni Award to Verlyn Olson at its annual Community Awards Banquet Feb. 24.

The long-time supporter of Augustana (previously Camrose Lutheran College) and former Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA was honoured in recognition of his outstanding achievement in his vocation and his infallible contributions to both the community of Camrose and Augustana.

“Each year we have the privilege of recognizing a former student out of Augustana with the Augustana Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni award,” said Dean Allen Berger in his introduction of Olson.

“He or she is selected by virtue of outstanding achievements in (his or her) chosen vocation or career.

“Extraordinary service to community, church or alma mater and exemplification of the ideals that form this fine institution.”

Verlyn graduated in 1972 from Camrose Lutheran College High School (now University of Alberta Augustana Campus) then continued with two years of undergraduate studies.

After receiving his Bachelor of Arts in History in 1975 and Bachelor of Laws in 1978 he returned to Camrose to article with the law firm of Andreassen Ziebart, becoming an associate in 1979 and a partner in 1983. In 2000 he was appointed to the Queen’s Counsel.

Olson changed lanes in 2007, leaving law practice to run for election with the Progressive Conservative party (Wetaskiwin-Camrose) winning the riding in 2008.

“Most of us are familiar with Verlyn’s stellar record of service as a Progressive Conservative MLA for Wetaskiwin and Camrose from 2008 to 2015,” said Dean Berger.

After serving on a number of committees Olson was appointed to the position of Minster of Justice and Attorney General in 2011 and the next year was named Deputy Government House Leader and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Olson returned to private life in 2015.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Dean Allen Berger, University of Alberta Augustana, presents Verlyn Olson, recipient of the Augustana 2015 Distinguished Alumni Award with a framed photograph of a Viking Cup game, at the 2015-16 Community Awards Banquet held on Feb. 24 in the Augustana Campus gymnasium.

Aside from his career accolades Olson volunteered for different community services. He was the founder of Camrose Sport Development Society, co-founder of Pretty Hill Film Festival (now Nordlys Film and Art Festival), served on the Camrose Lutheran College Board of Regents, and was a member of the Viking Cup Committee.

He is currently a mentor at the University of Alberta’s Peter Lougheed Leadership College.

“He was a significant voice in guiding and shaping the merger of Augustana University College with the University of Alberta,” said Dean Berger.

“Above all and perhaps most importantly Verlyn exemplifies the highest ideals of the liberal arts.”

Olson began his address by indicating how honoured he was to have received the award.

“It is a great honour and I have to say a very humbling experience to be here tonight and to be singled out for an honour like this,” he said. “I consider myself to be a very lucky guy to have roots at Camrose Lutheran College and Augustana.”

He continued by thank-

ing his family (wife, three children, son-in-law, daughter-inlaw and four grandchildren, mother-in-law and brotherin-law) for being present to celebrate the award with him.

“I feel very lucky to have them here tonight,” he said.

“My wife Mardell and I actually met here (at Augustana, then Camrose Lutheran College). She was working in the cafeteria at a summer job as a cook and I was working on the maintenance crew.”

He spoke briefly about his educational background suggesting to the students in the audience that not unlike some of them, he was a little indecisive about exactly what he wanted to do, but that beginning at Augustana was an invaluable experience.

“I really believe that the education I received here was greatly enhanced by the small town setting, the small intimate classes and the professors who were so accessible,” he said.

“It wasn’t just the professors. It was also the staff in every corner of the campus.

They were just like the profs.

They knew who you were, they cared about you and you felt like you belonged.

“I get to be here from time

to time and watch and talk to people and I really believe that still exists and hope it never changes.”

Olson made reference to the many friends he made throughout his time as a student, volunteer, committee member and supporter of Augustana, and reflected on some of the wonderful memories.

“I remember a bunch of us hockey players carrying a teammate’s Austin mini (car) up the stairs in the Old Main which is now Founders Hall and parking it in the foyer, so to speak,” he said with a smile.

“I remember playing hockey for the Vikings, mostly sitting on the bench with good friends like (Judge) Bill Andreassen, who became my partner in the law firm and who is here today.

“I’ve very deep roots here and we are all connected to Augustana in many ways.”

Olson related one of his best memories with Augustana was his 25 year involvement with the Viking Cup, initiated by Leroy Johnson.

“This is an event that really brought the community together and to this day at Christmas time when I walk down the main street in Cam-

rose I run into people who are mourning the fact that we do not have a Viking Cup,” he said.

One disappointment Verlyn did mention was the inability to get a new science building despite great effort on the part of himself, Dean Allen Berger and past Dean Roger Epp. He expressed hope it may still happen in the future.

“We had a succession of five Ministers of Advanced Education come here and tour the campus and hear our pitch about how much we needed a science building,” he said.

Olson encouraged the students at the banquet to continue making and cherish their own relationships and memories at Augustana.

“Look around and remember these people because they are going to be important in your future,” he said, referring to the students in the audience.

“At the same time look at the faces of those people who are here to support you.

“They may have many reasons for being here. Maybe it’s because they feel they have received great benefit from this place. Maybe it’s because they just value higher education or maybe it’s because they just like helping or all of the above.

“Whatever their reasons, what they do is really special and envied by many other institutions. And there is a payback to all of this.

“The people who are supporting you know you have great potential as leaders, servants, servant leaders and that you will go on to do great things for the communities you end up living in.”

He concluded by explaining that Augustana began as an institution to help rural/ farm children obtain a Grade 12 education and became a world class large university.

“Even with all of that growth and all of that development I think it has maintained the essence of what Camrose Lutheran College and Augustana always was, and that is a welcome place for higher learning, a place to search, to challenge and to grow,” he said.

Olson closed by wishing the students all the best in their future endeavours and with a heartfelt “thank you” to all the donors.

Augustana creates awareness of Camrose Pride

By Murray Green

The University of Alberta Augustana Campus will be launching Augustana Pride Week March 7 to 11.

Beginning at 10 a.m. on March 7, the Augustana Queers and Allies will be celebrating the kickoff

of their Pride Week at the Faith and Life Centre by raising a Pride Flag.

An opening for the official safe space for the week, The Harbour, is for both the community and students.

This year will mark the introduction of Camrose

Pride Community. Its vision is to create safe spaces to have conversations about acceptance in Camrose, as well as promote the need to speak about LGBTQ issues.

About one in every 10 people is LGBTQ: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans,

or Questioning. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and questioning are sexual orientations.

Trans is a gender identity.

Camrose Pride Community aims at creating a safe space for all regardless of gender and sexual identity and expression.

The group promotes inclusivity and diversity, and encourages a positive atmosphere for all students throughout campus.

The Pride Kickoff ceremony will be held in the Faith and Life Lounge.

Local dancers join Ballet Jorgen in Sleeping Beauty

By Murray Green

When Ballet Jörgen takes the stage at the Jeanne and Peter Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. for Sleeping Beauty, 15 local dancers will in the famous production.

“This will be a wonderful experience for them. The more students we can add, the more exposure we have for dance as a career. Four of them will be rose thorns in our thorn hedge, three will be little children, one dancer will be a child that will be a rose bud without thorns and the rest will be king and queen pages and ladies in waiting attendants in the garden,” said Ballet Jörgen education manager Clea Iveson.

“This gives us an opportunity to reach into the communities where we are performing. We want the local dancers to know there is training after they finish with their local dance organization.”

The local dancers are members of Ballet Camrose, Camrose Academy of Dance and Dance Dynasty.

Six dancers from the Camrose Academy of Dance will be in Sleeping Beauty: Cali Pacholek, age 13, with seven years of dance; Malia Patullo, age 14, with three years in Camrose; Natalie Stepan, age 15, with nine years; Cadence Bratrud, age 12, with six years; Keriah Heise, age 12, with seven years; and McKenna Rybalka, age 13, with seven years of experience. The students are instructed by Lisa Rootsaert.

“I am very exited to dance on stage with Ballet Jörgen in Sleeping Beauty to be able to experience the life of dancer in a professional ballet company. What I like most about dancing is how we are given many opportunities to perform in front of an audience and for friends and family, either at the year end show, festivals, or local events we do throughout the year. My dance program has prepared me for my role in Sleeping Beauty by giving me the opportunities to perform and also to have a good stage presence when dancing or acting in any role on stage,” said Cali.

Dancers Kendra Korth, age 15, with nine years, Grace Zimmer, age 14, with eight years, and Leah Zimmer, age 12, with seven years of experience will represent Dance Dynasty, which includes Camrose, Killam

Camrose Academy of Dance will have six Sleeping Beauty participants. From left to right, Keriah Heise, Malia Patullo, Cali Pacholek, instructor Lisa Rootsaert, Natalie Stepan, Cadence Bratrud and Mckenna Rybalka.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Members of the Camrose Ballet in Sleeping Beauty include, from left to right back row, Evyann Graham and Kaylin Dennis, middle row Kristen Pearson and Jocelyn Olsen, and front row Abbygail Skjaveland and Annika Tigchelaar.

and Heisler students. The students are instructed by Carly Zimmer.

“To me, it’s a great opportunity to have, especially coming from a small community where there is little to no chance of being able to have

the experience of dancing with a professional company at such a young age, and with not as much experience.

I think it’s great that they’re giving young people a chance to participate in something they otherwise would not

be able to experience,” said Kendra. “At Dance Dynasty, there’s a chance not only to perfect your dance skills, as well as learn new ones, but also to expand who you are as a dancer. Our teachers give us the steps and the

choreography, but then it’s up to us to interpret it ourselves.

This being said, is important for a role no matter how big or small. We are also taught important skills such as picking up choreography and working under stress and in competitive environments, which prepare us for our performances.”

Kaylin Dennis, age 15, with three years of dance, Evyann Graham, age 13, with 11 years of dance, Jocelyn Olsen, 17, with 13 years, Abby Skjaveland, age 12, with six years, Annika Tigchelaar, age 11, with five years, and Kristen Pearson, age 15, with 11 years, are from Ballet Camrose. The students are instructed by Colleen Olsen.

Jocelyn and Kristen were in last year’s Cinderella.

“We were tree fairies last year and had parts in the first and second acts, minor roles moving props and interacting with the lead roles,” explained Jocelyn.

“Practicing before the show with the professional dancers was a pretty cool experience,” added Kristen.

“This was our first experience with professionals and it is different being with a touring company,” said Jocelyn. “We learned about the efficiency in their rehearsals, and watched their spacing, and exactness of their stage whereabouts.”

The girls will be more relaxed because they know what to expect. However, they also know that Sleeping Beauty will be more challenging.

“We will have a master class the day before the show and we will be preparing for more than one day ahead of time. I think we will be learning more,” said Jocelyn.

“Being able to rehearse for more than one day will be a nice opportunity.”

The touring dance company inspires young dancers to keep going.

“It shows us that you can have a career in dance and it’s definitely something we want to pursue,” said Kristen.

“We want to be in a company one day soon. We have been doing this since we were little. We are grateful for the opportunity,” added Jocelyn. “We tell others dancers to do their best and try to pick up things quickly.

Take in the experience for what it is.”

It will also a new experience for the local groups to dance and work together.

About Time Productions presents their first junior production, We are Monsters. The young actors paused during rehearsal to strike a frightening pose on stage and share their version of monster meets human interaction. The play will run March 4 to 6 at the Bailey Theatre and stars 23 children.

By Lori Larsen About Time Productions presents the junior production, We Are Monsters, on March 4 and 5 at 7 p.m. and March 5 and 6 at 2 p.m., at the Bailey Theatre.

Musical director and University of Alberta Augustana English student Miranda Baker commented on the plot of the play, “A group of humans sneak into a monster annual cabaret.”

“Their (the humans’) goal is to expose all these monsters to the world,” said Miranda.

“It is a play about the breaking of monster stereotypes,” said director and University of Alberta Augustana drama student Natalia McGill.

“We have a vampire who eats lettuce rather than blood and werewolves who all they do is howl at the moon.”

The play also involves a human/monster friendship that is rekindled and supports the subplot that people need to share and embrace each others’ differences.

This is the first all junior cast for About Time Productions. Tickets can be purchased in advance or on the day of the production at the Bailey Theatre.

A Cultivating the Arts Gala event is slated for Saturday, March 5, beginning at 7 p.m. in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

After the reception, Cirque Mechanics take the stage with a unique approach to performance, inspiring storytelling and innovative mechanical staging. Cirque Mechanics, although inspired by modern circus, finds its roots in the mechanical and its heart in the stories of American ingenuity.

This performance needs a huge stage. It is one that only could be held in Camrose or at the Jubilee in Edmonton.

The show, rooted in realism, displays a raw quality rarely found in modern circus that makes the message timeless and relevant. The stories are wrapped in circus acrobatics, mechanical wonders and a bit of clowning around.

From the inventive Cirque Mechanics comes a Steampunk inspired acrobatic whirlwind where cycling is the escape from technology obsessed society. You can experience the excitement, artistry and thrill that occurs when a zany bike shop mechanic interacts with cyclists and bikes and repairs more than broken pieces.

Creative director Chris Lashua spent most of his career on a BMX bike and inside a German wheel. This new production showcases his innate passion and fascination for all things bicycles and cycling. The synergy between man and machine, the hallmark of Cirque Mechanics, is magnificently exposed.

Cirque Mechanics was founded by Lashua in 2004 as a way to provide entertainment that encompassed the Boston native’s passion for the theater, the circus and all things mechanical.

Cirque Mechanics, based in Las Vegas, combines traditional circus disciplines with cirque elements to tell a real world story with theatricality. However, it is the design and exploration of innovative mechanical apparatus and the relationship between performer and machine, seen on stage, that truly make Cirque Mechanics unique.

Cirque Mechanics’ first show, Birdhouse Factory, was produced in partnership with the Circus Center of San Francisco and the

By Murray Green Bowling is critical in keeping Centra Cam’s programs operating and helps offset rising costs the organization faces each year.

The 19th annual Centra Cam Vocational Training Association Bowl-AThon will be held on March 4 at Tabb Lanes. About 90 bowlers will hit the lanes from 1 to 3 p.m. to raise funds to provide renovations, equipment and some furniture. The event is Centra Cam’s major fundraiser of the year, so support your local bowlers on their pledge sheets.

“The purpose of the bowl-a-thon is to increase the awareness of Centra Cam clients, staff and board members,” said event chairman David Tanton, of the association and chair of the event. “It also helps us raise funds to keep up with the rising costs of offering the various programs.”

There will be teams entered from local businesses and financial institutions.

lenge Cup. The cup winners are the teams that raise the most money.

This year there will be four or five challenge teams and five or six bank teams.

“There will be some excellent bowling and a great afternoon of fun and recreation,” added David.

“The participants will be able to win prizes donated

by local businesses, which have always been very supportive of the event. Along with the fun of bowling, all participants can win door prizes for the top fundraisers and top bowlers.”

You can also make a donation to the bowl-a-thon on Centra Cam’s website, or phone 780-672-9995.

Enjoying the Here and Now

My son was frustrated with me. I sighed, wondering how to best explain a concept to a four-year-old.

Finally, I settled on the visual approach.

I crouched down in the snow, patted the fluffy snow together between my mittened hands and rolled the snow along. Only a ball wasn’t forming. My little guy said in an exasperated tone, “But I wanted to make a snowman. That’s not a snowman.”

I explained that it wasn’t snowball snow, and that there are usually just a few really good snowman building days each winter. And today wasn’t one of them. Then I pointed out the thick, heavy snow on the trees and suggested that we pick an activity that fit the day.

We walked along the line of large spruce trees, patting them periodically so that big plumes of snow would rush to the ground below. Then we noticed an opening in the branches along the bottom. Perfect for a mom and boy to squeeze into and get close to the trunk of the tree. We pushed our way through the snow-laden branches and were able to sit on the ground without our heads hitting the lowest branches. We realized that my daughter would soon be arriving on the school bus, so we waited patiently as the bus pulled up, and my daughter strolled slowly down the driveway. We were going to wait until she was across from us before we gave our hiding spot away, but excitement took over and we were soon hollering at her to see our spot.

It was a great way to spend an afternoon. And it made me think about how often we don’t just enjoy the season, or our stage in life, the way that we should.

We are not always going to have snowball snow, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy ourselves. Enjoying the here and now is a choice.

I recently heard that the time of year when people are most likely to suffer from depression is mid-January. The excitement of planning for Christmas has worn off. Credit card bills are arriving and making us wish we hadn’t over spent. The spring seems a long way off and frankly, we forget to appreciate what we have. I think that some of the same feelings apply throughout February and March.

Before we had children, we put all of our earthly goods into a storage unit on the farm and went travelling for over a year. After driving across Canada, we flew to Australia and then Southeast Asia. We had discovered a place called Four Thousand Islands in Laos, one of the spots we found that was close to paradise. We borrowed bicycles from the guest house and pedaled down the well-worn path to another guest house that lent books and sold cinnamon buns. I laughed until my face hurt when we had to share a bike after getting a flat tire; we watched as a largely pregnant local woman patched our flat bicycle tire out of her hut. We spent $10 a day on food and accommodation, and paid when we left. The guest house owner asked all of the travellers one morning what we would like for supper and someone suggested fish, so he hopped in his long boat and motored to the nearest village for fresh fish. We slept in our own bamboo hut beside the Mekong River, where we would float down the river for a ways and then swim back to our dock, and do it again. It was idyllic. Paradise.

Then one day we checked our email and my sister-inlaw had sent us pictures of a recent trip she had taken to Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park. The scenery was breathtaking, majestic trees covered in snow and deep canyon walls. I looked at the pictures, while sitting in a hut in Laos, and asked my husband why we didn’t go anywhere so beautiful.

Hmmm…is there something wrong with that picture?

Talk about not appreciating what I had. I’m reminded of that story each time I want something that someone else has, and how the important thing is seeing beauty around me, no matter where I might be.

PINK SHIRT DAY CELEBRATION

Students and staff at Charlie Killam School dressed in pink Feb. 24 to celebrate Pink Shirt Day and show they do not support bullying. Pictured with Charlie Killam vice principal Laura Swanson, back, were, left to right, Annika Tigchelaar, Chance Reum, Owen Lansing and Zoe McTavish. The Pink Shirt Day movement started in Nova Scotia when two high school students organized a protest to wear pink to stand up for a Grade 9 student who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt.

Council denies water connection

By Dan Jensen

City council has denied a Camrose County request for water and sewer services for a property directly adjacent to the Braim subdivision on the outskirts of the Camrose.

“My responsibility is to the ratepayers of the City of Camrose that pay for water treatment plants, pay for waste water treatment plants,” said councillor Wayne Throndson Feb. 1. “I don’t disagree that at some point in time we might look at a regional water authority, as a business, and sell water.

That day is not today. Until that happens I am going to vote against one-offs because it doesn’t serve the ratepayers who elected us. Our responsibility is to them.”

Councillor Bill Sears supported the service extension, saying that council has granted similar requests in the past.

“Water is a regional issue and water is going to be an issue for the City in the future,” said Sears. “It is going to be an issue for the County in the future. If we don’t work together on this we are never going to get any sort of regional water.

We will never get a water line. If we think we are going to need an outside water source we are never going to get it without the support of the County. We have done it before so I don’t know why we wouldn’t do it again.”

City administration has recommended that each new request for connection to the water system be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the water service would be used for domestic purposes only, that any water used by the new water service would be allocated from the approved water supply quantity as approved in an agreement with Camrose County, that certain conditions would apply restricting the future ability of the property to subdivide or develop while still accessing water from the Braim water system, that all

costs be the responsibility of the landowners, and that a connection fee of $5,000 be paid to the City of Camrose.

Downtown Action Plan Council agreed to delegate the initial review of the existing downtown action plan to a consulting firm so that the City of Camrose planning and development department can more fully concentrate its energies on the Glen quarter area structure plan.

“I would like to see this referred to MPAC (Municipal Planning Advisory Committee) with minimal input from planning and development at this time,” said Mayor Norm Mayer. “Let them go through the process, study it (downtown action plan) and come up with some recommendations based on some of the information we have received.”

Councillor Bill Sears noted that the Glen quarter area structure plan is a priority for the City.

“I don’t think we should be pushing it off. We need to develop it and get it on the market so we can make some money. The downtown action plan will come in its time and we will get it done, but let’s stick with our original idea.”

City of Camrose planning and development director Aaron Leckie noted that working on the downtown action plan would push off the Glen quarter area structure plan, which his department has already started to review.

“As soon as the east gateway area redevelopment plan is complete we will be transitioning full speed on the Glen quarter area structure plan,” said Leckie. “The east gateway area structure plan does provide a plan for industrial development in over 200 hectares of undeveloped area of the City, but it does not mean development. If we had a pent up demand for industrial development, likely the City would

have to look at some ways of acquiring or supporting development in that area because we don’t have a lot of industrial, heavy industrial, general industrial or commercial developers. We may see development eventually.

In fact there are a couple of proposals that have come forward.”

Leckie said a review of the downtown action plan, if started immediately, could not be completed until the fall of 2017.

Land Use Bylaw Council endorsed a land use bylaw enforcement procedure policy as a guiding document under the land use bylaw.

“In order to better coordinate orderly development that complies with the land use bylaw it was identified that an enforcement action is required,” said Leckie in a report prepared for council review. “Section 8 of the land use bylaw recognizes the methods of enforcement available to a municipality, including violation tags, violation tickets, stop orders and injunctions.”

Leckie said that the primary goal of the procedure policy is to educate residents and developers and that enforcement in the form of penalties is intended to be a last resort.

“The planning and development department anticipates that the land use bylaw enforcement policy will be used less than ten times per calendar year. I think in the first year, and possibly second year, there will be a greater amount of enforcement just given some of the projects that have been identified and some of the enforcement that has been put on hold until we have this procedure in place.

“It just provides clarity on how enforcement is done so that we can follow up on a consistent manner, no matter what the infringement may be, in accordance with the structure identified.”

McManus named men’s soccer coach

By Murray Green

Tom McManus is the new men’s soccer coach at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

He is the former Thompson Rivers University WolfPack women’s soccer head coach. His first task will be to recruit players for the Vikings and then prepare for the fall season.

The Augustana Vikings

play in north division of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference.

“We are excited to welcome Tom to our coaching staff. He comes to us with a tremendous track record of athletic success, as well as a commitment to the student-athlete,” said Greg Ryan, Augustana director of athletics.

McManus was instrumental in helping the Wolf-

Pack launch CIS soccer at the university.

In its second season in CIS last fall, the WolfPack made the Canada West playoffs and were eliminated

by UBC in the west region quarter-final.

In the first year, Thompson Rivers lost a lot of close decisions. The WolfPack won its third straight league title before moving to the higher level.

WHO

Augustana performs Footloose

By Dan Jensen

Students at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta are putting the finishing touches on their upcoming production of Footloose at the Augustana Theatre Centre.

“They’re really throwing themselves into each rehearsal,” said Augustana visiting professor Jeff Page, who is the musical’s director. “I have been very impressed with their work, right from the auditions and the first reading through to the rehearsals that started the first week in January and the choreography. Each time I watch I can’t believe the skill that the students are bringing to this.”

The production features a cast of 22 students, not all of whom are in the drama department.

“Most of my cast is made up of students who are studying other subjects but have the talent to perform,” said Page. “It is a challenge for them because of the different styles. They have to concentrate on acting in one scene and singing in the next, then merge everything together.”

The cast will be joined by a four member band which will be playing an Oscar and Tony nominated score.

“A couple of the members of the band are people from the community,” said Page. “The drummer is also drumming for a play at the High School and for My

Fair Lady, so he is a busy fellow.”

Footloose is joyous musical about young people standing up to institutions, laws and traditions that they feel are not necessarily applicable to their age and era. When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming community, Ren is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school.

What he isn’t prepared for are the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth that he cannot command in his own home. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

“They have made a rule about no dancing because of a huge tragedy that happened in the town so the students, the kids (in the town) have to stand up and fight for what they believe in,” said Page. “They have to be articulate and be all the things that we ask people to do in university.

“Ultimately it is a story about liberation.”

Footloose is the first production by the drama

department this academic year.

“Augustana used to do two plays a year, one in the fall and one in the spring,” said Page. “We have now gone to a system where we do one play a year and one senior showcase event. We aren’t doing a senior showcase event this year because we are still switching models.”

Page is filling in this year for Augustana professor Paul Johnson, who is on medical leave.

“Paul has been very helpful to me as an advisor through this process,” said Page, who has spent 25 years as a professional actor, director and instructor in Edmonton, performing at the Citadel Theatre, the Mayfield Dinner Theatre and Workshop West.

“He is so valuable and he is really a great resource for this community.”

Footloose evening performances will be held at the Augustana Theatre Centre March 9 to 12 and March 16 to 19 starting at 7 p.m. Matinee performances will be held March 13 and 20 starting at 2 p.m.

Advance tickets may be purchased by credit card by calling the Augustana Fine Arts Office at 780679-1532. Advance tickets for the March 11, 12 and 13 shows will cease to be available at 4 p.m. March 11. For the March 18, 19 and 20 shows advance sales will stop at 4 p.m. on March 18.

Nica’s Hair Studio finds a better way

By Dan Jensen

Nica’s Hair Studio owner Lori Kushnerik was looking for a better way to dispose of the leftover peroxides and chemicals from hair stylings and treatments when, out of the blue, she received a call from Green Circle Salons.

“I thought at first the call was from a telemarketer, but I stayed on the line to hear what was being said,” she recalls.

Rather than having to fend off a pitch for a new product, Lori was introduced to what she has since discovered to be a very effective method of recycling.

“It turned out that they were offering to take all of the unwanted chemicals that I had been holding onto because I didn’t want to send them to the landfill or pour them down the drain and send them to the Swan Hills treatment plant,” she said.

After taking the time to discuss the idea with family and staff, Lori decided to take the leap. In her first week after registering as a Green Salon, she was able to send away four litres of liquid waste that would otherwise have gone down the drain into the Camrose water system.

Lori was apprehensive at first about whether or not she had the space for storage of the waste, but soon found that wasn’t as difficult as she envisioned.

“It quickly became pretty routine,” she said. “All I do is email the company, which sends me a Purolator strip. Purolator is at my door usually the same day to pick up the boxes.”

Along with the chemi-

cals, Green Circle Salons takes foils, colour tubes, papers and plastics and hair clippings. The latter are sent to a women’s correctional facility and made into hair brooms that are effective in cleaning oil spills on lakes.

“They take all the plastics that the Camrose recycling depot doesn’t take, as well as all the coffee cups that people bring here when they are waiting,” said Lori.

“I can now recycle all the cups and lids, which, unfortunately, is the biggest part of each shipment.”

While there is a cost to doing the recycling with Green Circle Salons, Lori is able to recover most if not all of that through recycling fees that are passed on to her customers.

“There is a recycling fee for everything these days,” she said. “You buy tires or bottles of pop and there are recycling fees attached. This is the same thing. At first I told every customer that there would be a recycling fee and most of them didn’t even flinch. I am positive I haven’t lost a single client.”

Lori said her recycling experiment with Green Circle Salons has carried over into other parts of her life.

“I am looking for more and more things to recycle and trying to keep things out of the landfill,” she said.

“You just need to get into the habit of doing it all the time.”

Lori is challenging the other salons in Camrose to get on board with green circle salons by calling the toll free number at 1-877-4243327 or sending an email to info@greencirclesalons.ca.

“If all the other salons

Nica’s Hair Studio owner Lori Kushnerik has found a better way to dispose of leftover peroxides and chemicals.

in town started doing what I am doing there would be a lot less toxins per week in our water system,” she said. “The more awareness that is created about recycling, the more we could turn it into a way of life where everyone just learns to take care of the environment.”

Green Circle Salons believes that over time – and with the help of guests and employees – small steps to transform each salon will make green conversion possible and sustainable.

“Imagine the differences we can make together,” says the Green Circle Salons website. “Today, undoubtedly, climate change is the challenge of our time. We recognize that environmental issues are not just a series of isolated events like deforestation, the landfill crisis or air pollution. We are beginning to understand that environmental problems affect our economics, our social structure, and the health and wellbeing of humanity as a whole.”

A night at the opera Singers from the studios of Kathleen Corcoran and Joy-Anne Murphy will present an hour-long program of celebrated solo arias from operas by Mozart, Verdi, Copeland, Puccini, and Handel at the Augustana Campus Faith and Life Centre starting at 7 p.m. this Thursday, March 3.

Each student will share an aria which has been assigned to develop not only vocal technique but also drama, character and expression. For students to work on these operatic gems is at once motivating and challenging – everyone enjoys a good story and these singers have worked to bring this story to you through engaging and beautiful musical presentations.

This evening promises rich emotion, comedy and poignancy as the students share their work in progress to full artistry. A special invitation is extended to those unfamiliar with opera to experience, up-close-and-personal, the human stories and universal truths sung by the young members of this community.

Tickets may be purchased at the door.

Average Camrose rent rose by $41 in 2015

By Dan Jensen

The rental vacancy rate for a private Camrose apartment jumped by three and a half per cent and the average rent rose by $41 to $901 in the 12 months ending Oct. 15, according to a new rental market report published by the Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation.

The vacancy rate for a one bedroom apartment was 6.3 per cent in October 2015, up from 2.9 per cent in October 2014, while the vacancy rate for a two bedroom apartment was 5.8 per cent in October 2015, up from 1.9 per cent in October 2014.

The average vacancy rate across the province was 5.6 per cent in October 2015, up from 2.1 per cent in October 2014. The average vacancy rate was highest in Wood Buffalo at 29.4 per cent, followed by Cold Lake at 12.3 per cent, High River at 10.9 per cent, Grande Prairie at 10.4 per cent, Wetaskiwin and Wood

Buffalo each at 8.9 per cent, Brooks at 7.3 per cent, Lethbridge at 6.1 per cent, Red Deer at 5.4 per cent, Calgary at 5.3 per cent, Medicine Hat at 4.6 per cent, Edmonton at 4.2 per cent, Lacombe and Strathmore each at 3.6 per cent, Canmore at 1.4 per cent and Okotoks at zero per cent.

“All bedroom types exhibited increased vacancy rates, with the most pronounced increase in twobedroom apartments rising from 2.2 per cent in October 2014 to 6.5 per cent in October 2015,” said the report.

“The lowest vacancy rate was recorded for bachelor units at four per cent.

The average rent between October 2014 and October 2015, rose by 4.4 per cent ($749 to $777) for a one bedroom apartment, 5.3 per cent ($910 to $961) for a two bedroom apartment, and $964 to $976 for a three bedroom apartment.

The average rental rate across the province was

$1,149 in October 2015, up from $1,133 in October 2014. The average rental rates were highest in Wood Buffalo at $1,761, followed by $1,212 in Calgary, $1,137 in Edmonton, $1,120 in Grande Prairie, $1,037 in Grande Prairie, $1,008 in Canmore, $979 in Sylvan Lake, $967 in Red Deer, $966 in Okotoks, $916 in Wetaskiwin, $913 in Stathmore, $905 in High River, $871 in Lethbridge, $844 in Brooks, $807 in Lacombe, and $795 in Medicine Hat. “In Calgary two-bedroom same-sample apartments rents in October 2015 did not change significantly from October 2014,” said the report. “In Edmonton, same-sample rents were 2.2 per cent higher for two-bedroom apartments in the October 2015 survey compared to October 2014. In four urban centres, same sample rents declined, most prominently in Cold Lake – the centre with the largest gain in the

2014 survey. In this year’s survey, Cold Lake’s sample sized rents declined 36.9 per cent as vacancy rates increased from already elevated levels. The largest gain in same-sample rents of any urban centre was the 7.6 per cent increase in Canmore.

The total number of apartments in Camrose dropped from 967 in 2014 to 952 in 2015. The number of two bedroom apartments went from 645 to 630, while the number of three bedroom, one bedroom and bachelor apartments stayed the same at 24, 274 and 24 respectively.

“In terms of rental supply, the overall universe of purpose-built rental apartments (in Alberta) increased by 3,890 units in 2015, with the majority of the rise concentrated in two-bedroom units,” said the report. “This represents the second consecutive year the apartment universe increased, following

declines from 2004 to 2013.

Low vacancies across the province have contributed to more rental construction. By the third quarter of 2015, the total number of rental starts was already higher than any annual total since 1990.”

The report noted that net migration to the province has fallen due to weaker economic conditions.

“To the end of the second quarter of 2015, net migration declined 53 per cent from the previous year.

In particular, non-permanent residents in Alberta posted negative flows out of the province in the first two quarters of the year, with net loss of over 14,000 people. Many non-permanent residents are renters, and their departure has impacted the rental market to a greater degree than in other parts of the housing market. Interprovincial and international migration has also slowed from 2014 levels.”

2016 Ford Explorer

Dan Madison

By Dan Jensen

The 2016 Ford Explorer at Lamb Ford Sales offers even more smart technology, a new 2.3 litre EcoBoost engine and an all-new Platinum series.

"It's going to lead the way in innovation, performance and fun," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read.

Strong performance

The 2.3 litre EcoBoost, available on the base, XLT and Limited series, delivers at least 270 horsepower and at least 300 lb.-ft. of torque.

It improves highway passing times ten per cent at speeds between 100 and 110 km/h.

The 2.3 litre EcoBoost benefits from technology that makes it more efficient and optimizes performance.

It employs an active oil control system to optimize pressure when less fluid is needed. An active waste gate controls boost more precisely during light load operation to help save fuel.

A higher compression ratio results in more efficient fuel combustion.

The standard 3.5 litre V6 engine for base, XLT and Limited models offers an estimated 290 horsepower and an estimated 255 lb.ft. of torque, and is paired with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission. Explorer Sport and the Platinum edition get a

standard 3.5 litre EcoBoost V6 with an estimated 365 horsepower and an estimated 350 lb.-ft. of torque – also mated with a six-speed SelectShift Automatic.

Four-wheel drive

Intelligent four-wheel drive continuously monitors wheel speed, throttle position and steering wheel angle to determine vehicle conditions and driver intent. The system then determines the optimal amount of front and rear torque for the given conditions to prevent slip from even occurring, which helps keep the vehicle sure-footed on virtually any terrain. In sand, grass or gravel mode, the antilock braking system changes its pulse rate, which allows material to build up in the front of the wheels, acting as a doorstop of sorts to help slow momentum.

A newly refined, intelligent four-wheel drive gauge display shows power being distributed to the rear wheels under all conditions – from heavy fourwheel drive system usage to when the system is not transmitting power at all – for improved efficiency.

For added convenience, the Terrain Management System automatically defaults to normal mode whenever the vehicle is started to ensure it is ready

for normal driving conditions.

Using a dial located on the centre console, you can shift on the fly, selecting one of four terrain management modes – normal, snow, sand or mud – to set how the engine, transmission, brakes and front-wheel drive system will operate. A fifth setting is for navigating hills.

Technologies

The 2016 Ford Explorer offers more technologies than previous models – features that enhance the driving experience.

Both front and rear cameras have wide-angle lenses and come equipped with a washer, an industry first.

Ultrasonic sensors and electric power assisted steering help drivers with parallel and perpendicular parking maneuvers. The system controls the steering wheel while the driver operates the accelerator and brake pedals and shifts the vehicle into gear.

The hands-free liftgate means you only need to kick your leg below the centre of the rear bumper to unlock and raise the liftgate.

Active grille shutters close at highway speeds to reduce drag and open at low speeds to deliver air flow to cool the powertrain.

Standard air curtains create a high pressure

region of air that impacts the outer surface of the wheels and tires. The result is air flow held close to the vehicle body, minimizing drag.

Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support uses radar to detect moving vehicles directly ahead and changes the cruising speed if necessary.

The lane keeping system automatically detects left- and right-hand road lane markings using the front camera system. A vibration in the steering wheel alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of the lane. The system can also provide steering torque to help guide the vehicle back into the lane if needed.

The Blind Spot Information System uses radar to trigger a warning when another motorist is in the driver's blind spot.

Auto high beams use windshield mounted cameras to automatically switch between high beam and low beam settings when oncoming traffic is detected.

Inflatable rear safety belts deploy an airbag over the torso and shoulder of an outboard passenger to help distribute crash forces over up to five times more area than a traditional safety belt. Spreading forces over a larger area helps reduce pressure on a passenger's

chest, and helps control head and neck motion.

Platinum

The 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum incorporates brushed aluminum and satin-finished ash wood in multi-piece appliques on all door panels and the instrument panel. The woodtrimmed leather-wrapped and heated steering wheel includes unique stitching that matches the stitching used throughout the interior.

The Explorer Platinum is the first Ford vehicle to get the all-new 500-watt Sony Audio System with Live Acoustics and Clear Phase technology. Clear Phase eliminates sound disperson throughout the vehicle so the music occupants hear is precisely pinpointed, just as the artist intended.

For the exterior, signature lighting surrounds the LED headlamps, giving Explorer Platinum a continuous glow. Other features include a standard dualpanel moonroof, premium silver painted front and rear skid plate elements, and 20-inch wheels with bright machine face and tarnished dark painted pockets.

You can see the 2016 Ford Explorer when you visit Lamb Ford Sales at 377148 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2411 and ask for one of the friendly sales representatives.

Manage money after age of 50 Investors know that money management can be difficult. The ebb and flow of the economy can be similar to a roller coaster, with soaring highs followed by steep drops, and those changes all affect investors’ bottom lines.

It’s no wonder then that many investors over 50 envision the day when they can get off that roller coaster and simply enjoy their money without having to worry about the everyday ups and downs of the market. But managing money after 50 is about more than just reducing risk.

Reducing risk as retirement draws near is a sound financial strategy that can safeguard men and women over 50 from the fluctuations of the market That’s true whether investors put their money in stocks, real estate or other areas that were not immune to the ups and downs of the economy.

But there are additional steps men and women can take after they turn 50 to ensure their golden years are as enjoyable and financially sound as possible. * Prioritize saving for retirement. Men and women over 50 know that retirement is right around the corner.

Despite that, many people over 50 still have not prioritized saving for retirement.

It’s understandable that other obligations, be it paying kids’ college tuition or

at better than bank pricing!

CHEQUES

offering financial assistance to aging parents, may seem more immediate, but men and women over 50 should recognize that their time to save for retirement is rapidly dwindling. Just because you are retired does not mean your bills will magically disappear. In fact, some of those bills, such as the cost of medical care, are likely to increase. So now is the time to make retirement a priority if you have not already done so. It might be nice to finance a child’s college education, but that should not be done at the expense of your retirement nest egg. Kids have a lifetime ahead of them to repay college loans, while adults over 50 do not have that much time to save for retirement. * Start making decisions. People retire at different times in their lives. Some people want to keep working as long as they are physically and mentally capable of doing so, while others want to reap what their lifetime of hard work has sewn and retire early. Finances will likely play a strong role in when you can comfortably retire, so start making decisions about your long-term future. Do you intend to stay in your current home or downsize to a smaller home?

Will you stay in your current area or move elsewhere?

These decisions require a careful examination of your

finances, and many will hinge on how well you have managed your money in the past and how well you manage it in the years ahead.

Managing money after 50 requires more than just allocating resources. * Pay down debt. Men and women over 50 are not often associated with debt, but that’s a misconception.

Thanks in part to the recession and high unemployment, many people in the baby boomer generation are going back to school to make themselves more attractive to prospective employers.

While that might may be a sound decision, it is leaving many deeply in debt. Student loan debt is growing fastest among people over 60, and that debt is not inconsequential. In 2013 that the average student loan debt of those over the age of 60 who still owe money was more than $19,000, a considerable increase from 2005, when the average debt was $11,000. Men and women over 50 who are still carrying debt should eliminate consumer debt first, as such debt tends to be accompanied by higher interest rates than mortgages and student loan debt. Paying down debt can help reduce stress, improve your quality of life and free up money for living and recreational expenses once you retire.

How to prepare for tax season

It’s never too soon to begin preparations for filing income taxes. Here are some tips on how to prepare for the upcoming tax season. * Start a documents folder. Employers, charitable organizations, banks and other financial institutions begin mailing out tax forms from the previous year in early January. Individuals should keep their eyes open for any mail that appears to be tax-related. Store these documents in a folder that can protect any sensitive information. Such folders also make information more accessible as more and more documents arrive in the mail. * Begin collecting receipts and itemizing expenses.

Many expenses are tax-deductible. These can include education costs, moving expenses, home improvements, medical expenses, charitable donations and childcare costs. Store receipts and other documentation, including canceled checks, with the other tax documents. These will come in handy should an audit ever be ordered. * Create a spreadsheet of important information. It is handy to have all financial information at the ready.

Some accountants will lower their fees if people do some of the filing preparation work themselves. This can include creating a profit/loss statement on investments, or working up a tally of charitable donations. Make an itemized list of all pertinent information so it will be handy when tax-filing time arrives. * Decide on a filing option. Technology has made filing taxes much easier. Tax preparation software is available for those who choose to file their taxes themselves.

There also are walk-in centers that will prepare tax-filing documents. Individuals also can visit a certified public accountant. Whatever method taxpayers choose, allow for ample time to gather information and get the taxes filed by the deadline. Leave some wiggle room in case one filing method doesn’t work out. * Start saving money. Although the goal is to get a refund each and every year, taxpayers sometimes owe money, which can be troublesome for men and women whose budgets are stretched thin already. Those who owed money in the past should begin saving money for tax expenses as early as possible. * Develop a good filing system. Many financial professionals will advise people to keep financial records for seven years. Any tax documents should be kept together should they need to be referenced or if an audit is ordered.

Designate a filing cabinet or a box specifically for tax documents.

Tax filing season is right around the corner, and the dawn of a new year is a great time for men and women to start gathering documents and preparing their returns.

Until the joyous day arrives, That we meet again.

Ryan Hartman of the Camrose Kodiaks tips a shot in front of the Bonnyville Pontiacs net in action at the EnCana Arena. The Kodiaks only have two more home games in the regular season before the playoffs begin in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

By Murray Green

For the second time this month Nelson Gadoury took matters into his own hands and garnered a hat trick as the Camrose Kodiaks blasted the Grande Prairie Storm 7-1 on Feb. 25.

Tanner Younghans opened the scoring on a power play and, with 27 seconds left in the period, Gadoury notched his first tally of the night.

After the Storm hit the scoreboard, Gadoury replied with two goals within two minutes to reduce the visitors to a slight breeze.

Max Salpeter and Jake Dube netted markers for the Kodiaks before the period was over.

In the third, Gadoury added his fourth of the game.

Newcomer Joey May made his first start in goal for the Kodiaks. He turned away 22 of the 23 shots he faced. Camrose had 34 shots on the Storm net.

Camrose allowed the Bonnyville Pontiacs a 3-0 lead before they got on the scoreboard on Feb. 21.

Cole McBride and Trevor Costello replied for the Kodiaks in the third period, but the growl went out of the bears in a 4-2 loss at home.

Goalie Patrick Gora made 29 of 33 saves, while Camrose had 29 shots on the Bonnyville net.

The Brooks Bandits stole two points from the Kodiaks

with two third period tallies in a 3-2 contest on Feb. 19.

Mackenzie Bauer started the scoring in the first period on a power play.

Camrose grabbed the lead in the second when McBride collected a marker near the end of the frame.

Gora stopped 45 of 48 shots and Camrose fired 28 shots at the Brooks netminder.

Bear facts

The next home game is on Tuesday, March 1, when the Sherwood Park Crusaders are the visitors.

The regular season wraps up on Sunday, March 6, with the Kodiaks taking on the Spruce Grove Saints at 2 p.m. in the EnCana Arena.

The Camrose community is nominating the Max McLean Arena as the next Kraft Hockeyville project.

Camrose is battling other communities across the nation to make the top 10 list of finalists in the contest.

The winner, to be announced on April 2, will earn the right to host a NHL pre-season game and receive $100,000 in arena upgrades.

The second prize is $100,000 in arena upgrades Each of the remaining eight finalists will receive $25,000 in arena upgrades.

“We are gathering support for our community so the judges will take that into account when deciding on the 10 finalists. Most of us have a connection to the Max McLean Arena, whether they skate there, watch games there, have fond memories of good times and nail-biting action there,” said Bonnie Tanton, vice-president of Camrose Minor Hockey.

The 10 finalists will be announced on March 5 and then a voting process will be used to determine the winner. People are asked to tweet #khv_maxmclean from Twitter.

Camrose has had several bids over the years since Hockeyville was started. This year’s bid was launched

by Ingrid Holliday.

“Every person we have met welcomed us to Camrose and thanked us for coming to play in their town. Welcoming us with open arms after my son was released from Sherwood Park bantam triple-A. From the most hard working lady at Tim Hortons to the parents on our new team, we felt a part of and were accepted in this new city of Camrose,” Ingrid said in her bid. “I fell in love with this city the day we arrived a little nervous and feeling alone. I felt the community wrapped its hockey arms around us.”

Suggested upgrades at the Max McLean Arena include washrooms, easier facility access for seniors (stairs), heating for the game officials’ box, sound buffers to reduce echoes and structural improvements.

“Ingrid was new to the community and felt welcome, but she also noticed the arena could use some love,” added Bonnie. “It would be really exciting to host an NHL pre-season game. The arena has a lot of memories of players who went on to play in the NHL.” Two of the most famous players currently in the NHL are David Krejci and Tuukka Rask of the Boston Bruins, who starred in Viking Cup tournaments. Both went on to win the Stanley Cup, but still have fond memories of Camrose and the arena.

“This is an opportunity to bring the community together and support our bid to improve our facility. We want everyone to tweet and give us a better chance. We want to make the top 10 list first and then plan other things,” Bonnie said. “The renovations would leave a lasting impression for the hockey players, parents and community.”

The Max McLean Arena was built as a centennial project in 1967.

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.

By Dan Jensen Augustana alumni and friends will have the opportunity to support student chaplains at a “What’s Cookin’? Soup Supper in the Faith and Life Centre March 6.

Tickets for the supper (starting at 5 p.m.) may be purchased from chaplaincy program friends and supporters, Wisemen’s Way, or by contacting Sara at the chaplaincy office at 780679-1597.

Tickets will also be available at the door.

The supper will include presentations by Robyn Simpson Mohr and Craig Wentland, who will discuss the values of chaplaincy and introduce a new way of sharing those values with the community.

The supper will also include a silent auction of items that have been donated by Augustana chaplaincy program supporters.

“This year’s silent auction will continue to provide a unique place (for donors of auction items) to share their creativity in art, baking, sewing, woodworking, pottery, unique experiences and hospitality offerings,” said Linda Gervais and Joannie Zimmer, of the Augustana Chaplaincy Council silent auction committee. “Last year’s art auction was a big hit so we’re expanding this exchange of treasures. We invite people to consider donating pieces of their current art collection and possibly bidding on new pieces to enhance their home.”

Items may be donated by contacting Gervais at 780-608-7796 or sending an email to gervaisla@gmail. com. They may be brought to What’s Cooking’? on March 6 between 3:30 and 5 p.m. or dropped off at the Augustana chaplaincy office in room 2-331 of the Faith and Life Centre.

By Murray Green

The Alberta Government has scheduled controversial Bill 6 sessions during busy times for agricultural producers in places as far away from rural communities as possible.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is questioning the parameters set for the consultation on Bill 6 – the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act. This act ignores the needs of most family farms, the backbone of the provincial economy.

The Alberta Government is currently convening working groups to develop technical elements of the Bill 6 legislation. The meetings are being scheduled from March to August in prime calving, seeding and haying seasons in non-agricultural based cities Calgary and Edmonton.

“The inflexible and highly selective nature of the meetings shows the government has its own agenda in mind,” said Amber Ruddy, Alberta director for CFIB. “The reality is spring is calving and seeding season, while meetings in August may begin to interfere with harvest time. Why doesn’t the government meet farmers in the rural communities where these policy changes will have an impact?”

Six technical working groups (TWGs) are being established to work on the development of employment standards regulations, occupational health and safety (OHS) standards, and labour relations legislation. Stakeholders can fill out the sixpage form to apply to be considered for one of 12 seats at one of the tables. Spots have been earmarked at each table for representatives from the agricultural sector, labour groups and technical experts.

“Rolling out the red carpet for labour groups by guaranteeing spots on all committees is an attempt to water down the voice of farmers. There are inherent flaws in how this consultation was designed, including that workers’ compensation changes were never given a meaningful opportunity for discussion,” added Ruddy. “Alberta’s economy is in a fragile state and Bill 6 hits Alberta’s agriculture sector hard.”

CFIB urges the government to go back to the drawing board and figure out a better process to genuinely listen and respond to the serious concerns about the legislation being raised by agri-business owners across the province.

Alberta First spokesman George Clark lobbied for support to stop two important bills in the legislature at the Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino on Feb. 11. Premier Rachel Notley has yet to respond to the voices of Albertans.

Regan Fossen set to attend Jack Summit in Toronto

By Murray Green Mount Royal University student and former Camrose resident Regan Fossen will be attending the Jack Summit in Toronto March 4 to 6.

“The summit brings awareness to mental health issues. Mental health is such a tough issue to talk about for most people. But the truth is, most people have suffered with their own mental health, or know someone who has,” explained Fossen, a third year marketing student.

“Mental health issues are prominent in young people and that’s what the Jack Summit is for.

It is mostly a student led conference that is trying to help end the horrible stigma that surrounds mental health.”

Fossen wants to gather information at the conference to take back to the Mount Royal.

“This is an issue that hits close to home for so many people, and I am passionate about making a difference in my own school so that I can help others,” she said.

“I have a passion for wanting to make a difference. I am honoured to have been chosen to attend the Jack Summit in Toronto this year,” she said.

Some of the issues the summit will be talking about are the statistics.

One in five people will experience a mental illness in their lifetime.

Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people. Only one in four people will receive professional help for their illness.

“About 800 students applied to go to the conference and 175 were selected,” said Fossen.

“Together with the other students and facilitators from across the county, I’ll join a network of young leaders committed to transforming how we think and talk about mental health. At Jack Summit, I’ll gain the skills and knowledge I need to end the stigma around mental illness that keeps

Police looking for person responsible for several window breakages in city

By Dan Jensen Camrose Police Service is seeking the assistance of the public in identifying the person responsible for breaking windows at least 10 different businesses and residences.

“The windows have been broken by metal ball bearings and

marbles believed to be shot by a slingshot or modified air pistol, possibly from a vehicle,” said Const. John Fernhout, crime prevention officer with Camrose Police Service, “We do not have any suspects or suspect vehicles at this point.”

Police attended the Pet Value store in the Cornerstone Development on Feb. 21 where they viewed damage to the front glass of the building that was initially believed to have been caused by a rock. That was followed up the next evening by a visit to two

residences where the owners reported having their windows damaged.

Upon investigation, police located a metal ball bearing at one of the residences that was believed to have caused the damage. Later that evening

police attended to the Konto furniture store where the damage to the windows was similar to that at the residences. Finally, Panago Pizza reported that the front window of its store was damaged by a metal ball.
