Downtown Camrose charting a new course

KEN’S FURNITURE’S COLOSSAL

By Dan Jensen

Downtown Camrose (formerly City Center Camrose) will be heading in a new direction in 2016. “We’re moving away from infrastructure or capital projects and focusing more on how we can improve and attract businesses,” said Downtown Camrose president Michael Wetsch at the organization’s annual meeting Jan. 27. “It is simply not feasible for an organization of our size or with our budget to be able to tackle a capital project of any significance. We want to reduce the duplication of service Downtown Camrose faces and better use the levy and taxes charged to the downtown business and property owners.” Wetsch said Downtown Camrose will continue to work with City council to bring up its needs and encourage development. “The goal of our organization is still to provide the most effective and efficient use of the downtown levy for all members involved. We look forward to becoming more active in the planning for the future of Downtown Camrose and we encourage all business owners to take part as well.” Wetsch noted that Downtown Camrose is investigating the possibility of a consumer rewards program that will give an indication of how many people are shopping downtown, whether that number is increasing or decreasing, and the shoppers’ point of origin. “It is going to be a significant investment and a challenge in terms of implementation but it is going to give us valuable data that we can use for marketing.” Downtown Camrose board member Cody McCarroll noted that the program will be somewhat similar to the Air Miles program in that people will be able to earn points for each purchase that is made. “The specifics will have to be worked out later in terms of whether or not the points are translated into discounts,” said McCarroll. “There are many IT challenges ahead, but I think it is going to be very beneficial in terms of raising revenue for Downtown Camrose as well as yielding some much needed consumer data.” Another new initiative that has been planned for 2016 is a downtown market. “We are going to take the area around 49 Street and block it off on Thursday nights starting June 9 and ending Sept. 23,” said Downtown Camrose manager Al Walkey.

Boston Pizza Cup a success on and off the ice

Pro Sports Photography Karrick Martin, right, sweeps for Team Bottcher.

Ben Hebert, Brent Laing, Marc Kennedy and Kevin Koe defended the Boston Pizza Cup by beating Team Charley Thomas in the final Feb. 14

Pro Sports Photography Team Erickson third Dustin Eckstrand showed off his smooth delivery.

By Murray Green Curling fans in the Camrose area were treated to top notch action on the ice as Kevin Koe’s rink won the Boston Pizza Cup and a berth in the brier in Ottawa March 5 to 13. Koe defeated the Charley Thomas rink 8-4 in the final game in the EnCana Arena on Feb. 14 to advance to nationals. For Koe it was his fifth title in six years. Off the ice, chair of the host committee Darren McDermott was excited about the weekend. “We have had an awesome week here with great curling. The ice is incredible, the rocks are fantastic, the building is perfect and the best curling athletes in the world are curling right here,” said McDermott. “Put that together and you get amazing shot making. The fans are appreciative and knowledgable. At the end of the game the applause is actually for both teams because everyone has such an appreciation for the

game. The most astonishing thing is that people cheer for specific teams, but in the end also for the great curling.” Most curlers agree that the building is perfect for curling. “They are already wondering when we can do the next one. The sponsors say the building looks great. The more than 200 volunteers are cheerful and knowledgable. There were also a lot of volunteers in the background with jackets who helped us out too. The customers are loving the curling and asking when we can do it again,” shared McDermott. “We finished the Canada Cup on a Sunday and on Monday we were planning the Boston Pizza Cup. Our volunteers are great, but they also need a break. It will be a couple of years before we host an event again. We love this event and if we host, it will be the Boston Pizza Cup. It is a committee driven event and

everyone loves this one the best. When a good shot is made here the crowd roars.” With so many good curling events in Camrose, the ticket sales were sluggish at first. “The pre-sales were slow, but the walk-up crowd has been tremendous to make this event a success again,” said McDermott. “We were swamped at the box office because of the walk-up and that was really good news. In the end, the Rose City Curling Club is going to make some money.” The generated funds will help the local club with operations and support the curling academy. “We have developed some great partners and sponsors over the years, which have helped us make this a successful event,” said McDermott. “The Alberta government, Camrose County, City of Camrose, all three forms of government have been great. “Boston Pizza is a pro-

vincial sponsor, but Kevin Gurr at Boston Pizza in Camrose goes beyond that and helps as much as he can for us, all the way down to our Little Rockers. “We had about 50 Little Rockers on the ice and 16 Academy of Curling participants and the young people’s eyes were wide open. They were high-fiving each other at the opening ceremonies because these (curlers) are their heroes. We anticipate this being a survival mechanism for local curling. We think this will be a lasting benefit because they got to meet their heroes in the sport. Now they are jazzed about curling.” Just as Kevin Martin passed the torch of the sport to his son Karrick (on Team Bottcher), the same was true in Camrose. “We had the Little Rockers, academy curlers, the Augustana men’s team that will be going to provincials and the professionals here. It was a full

spectrum of curling in this community,” said an excited McDermott. “To use a curling term, it shows the changing of the guard. The future of the sport is well in hand.” The favourite score at the provincials was 6-5 and it showed that the sport can be exciting. “In those games we had triple knock outs and the level in Alberta is so high that is very exciting for everyone. All players on the ice were dialed in. It became magical,” said McDermott. When the curling took a break, top notch entertainers took the stage. “Not only were the big names like Amy Metcalfe, The Orchard and Shane Chisholm great, but local performers also put on a good show. My favourites were the locals. Martha’s Music helped us out and did a fantastic job.” Look for Camrose to host the Boston Pizza Cup in a few years.

Q.

Why choose tile?

A.

Tile works from contemporary to classic. With so many colors, patterns and sizes to choose from, there are countless ways to make l in your home. A long-time favorite in use off tile bathrooms, tile is just as suitable in kitchens for its ability to resist spills. And you can lend other living spaces throughout your home a touch of style, ranging from contemporary to traditional. Whatever your style. No matter what your architectural style, there’s a tile solution to bring your vision to life. And tile isn’t merely a trendy choice, either. It’s been an admired flooring for years and will continue to be a great way to bring lasting beauty and value to your home. Be creative. Tile is modular, which allows you to be creative in how you assemble your floor. You can put large tiles together for an expansive look. Set them at angles to grow small spaces, or use insets for a custom look.

Plus, the experts at Wideman Carpet One are always available to assist you personally and answer any of your questions.

Q.

Why does my tooth need a crown after root canal treatment?

A:

Inside each tooth is an area of soft ttissue called the pulp which contains tthe nerve that enters through the root oof each tooth. The pulp can become iinflamed or infected through a deep cavity, a crack in the tooth, or trauma to the tooth. Root canal treatment is a procedure that cleans, fills, and seals the infected area. Teeth that no longer have vital pulp tissue may become more prone to fracture. In some circumstances a fractured tooth may not be restorable. A crown is a restoration that covers or ‘caps’ the entire tooth. A crown will protect the remaining tooth structure. It is important that the completed root canal filling remain sealed from bacteria. A crown is a longlasting restoration that helps to ensure this seal. The condition of each tooth is unique and your dentist will advise you if a crown is recommended following root canal treatment.

Q.

I am worried about the sun damaging my furniture and floors, but I still want to enjoy my beautiful view. How should I dress my windows to solve both of these issues?

A:

Solar shades are an ideal choice for a anyone wishing to maintain an exterior v view while keeping heat out and coolness w within. While maintaining your comfort, blo UV rays, protecting interiors from Solar shades block damage and minimizing TV and computer glare. Choose higher openness(7%-14%) fabrics for a better view to the outside, or lower openness(1%-5%) fabrics for better UV blockage. A solar shade is a convenient and easy-to-operate roller shade that is available in a broad selection of colors and valance or fascia styles. Many fabrics in the solar shade collection also coordinate with sliding panel fabrics to accommodate patio or garden doors. Use a versatile dual roller shade to have control over the amount of light entering your room and the degree of privacy. The innovative design pairs two fabrics from the solar and /roller shade collections. Either shade can be raised or lowered independently of the other to give you both privacy at night and a view during the day, while still keeping out UV rays and heat.

With our dollar so low W against the US dollar, w where can I find great travel value?

The Canadian dollar looks great a against many currencies other than t U.S. dollar. There has rarely been the tt ti a bbetter time tto head to New Zealand. You have attractive spending power in Australia. If you have a desire to see parts of Europe – now is the time! Our dollar looks terrific against the Lira, so it would be a super time to trek to Turkey. We have clients heading to Tahiti and the Cook Islands now – wonderful travel destinations that were talked about less frequently prior to the surge in the U.S. dollar. There is lots to see in the Philippines and your money will really stretch there. This same thing can be said about Cuba. Mexico is always inexpensive and the weather is consistently great. Drop by and we can help your travel dreams come true. As travel agents, we follow currencies of the world. It’s one more service that we can offer for no charge, yet ‘homework’ like this can help you enjoy your travels so much more. Bottom-line: Vacation! Experience the joy, benefits and memories of travelling. It’s what living is all about!

Q.

Is a smart home a smart decision for you?

A:

Would you enjoy living in a much ssmaller home that provides you with comfort, security, extremew high energy efficiency, convenience, h pplus low living costs? This property would be easy-care and feature reduced taxes. A new proposed housing project for Camrose, recognizes that families have become smaller and housing needs have changed. Our research shows that people want to split their time between living in Camrose, and temporary stays elsewhere. Others want to be more mobile year-round visiting children and grandchildren or vacationing in sunny spots during select months of the year. Our proposed design may well allow you to communicate back to the systems of your home’s infrastructure and security by the internet, land phone or cell phone. These homes will have systems engineered into them to allow for future technological advances. An emerging important feature of such homes being proposed for Camrosians will be conservation of earth’s very limited resources. These homes will not only be very smart. They will be very ‘green’ and environmentally friendly. Give me a call to hear more….

Q.

Why choose our credit union over a bank?

A:

We believe in building branches to serve small centres, in hiring locally and in meeting the very specific needs of our neighbours. Vision Credit Union generously supports local charities, fundraisers, etc. We offer a more personalized way of interacting with you. Real people answering phones, as an example; local decision-makers for loans. 100% of your deposits are government guaranteed. Membership is open to anyone and as a member-owner you begin sharing our profits immediately. And we share our profit: last year our members were rewarded with a 25% interest bonus on interest earned and a 25% return of interest paid. At Vision Credit Union, we know that makes a difference.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Always happy to share an opinion I truly believe in noninterference, especially with one’s adult children. Their lives are their lives. We all understand that. Right? What’s that snickering sound I hear? Hmmm. Could it be my adult children? ***

Part One

To put this in context, two weekends ago my daughter and son-in-law were deciding where to place a very large wall hanging. They sent text messages with photos of them holding the wall hanging in various locations in their home. They asked, “Which location? What do you think?”

KIWANIS CLUB MAKES UNIFORMS FOR HOSPITAL

Unit Two, medical special care and palliative, thanked the Kiwanis Club, for their time and effort in the sewing of various different sizes and colors of pajamas. These pajamas can be used by the patients of St. Mary’s Hospital for many years to come. From left to right, Amber Vowles of Kiwanis, Melyssa Welch, Kim Lorenz, Jenn Hihn, Jennifer Vowles of Kiwanis.

***

Ooooh. They asked, “What do you think?” That’s my favourite question! There’s a running joke in our family about me saying, “I wouldn’t dream of commenting.” The inference is that I dream of commenting all the time. Still, when people ask, “What do you think?” that’s official permission to comment, and not interference at all. ***

Back to the wall hanging. Always happy to be helpful, I sent a thoughtful text message back saying which location I thought was best, and why. My daughter texted back, “Good points. Thanks.” A completely satisfying exchange, at least for me. I haven’t been to their home since then so don’t know if they followed my opinion, but it was nice to be asked and even thanked. ***

Part Two

Last weekend my daughter sent me a text with a photo of two pieces of art on a wall. The last time I visited their home, we’d looked at the art, thinking of where it might go. The texted photo caption said, “Artwork decision.” Again happy to be helpful, I texted back, “Hard to tell without a person standing there, but I think they should be a little lower and the one on the right should be lower in relation to the one on the left.” My daughter texted back instantly. “The nails are already in the wall so when you are here you will just have to tolerate them as they are.” Oops! I looked again at the text photo caption, “Artwork decision,” and realized it was an answer, not a question. ***

Time to regroup. I texted back, “Oops! … Let me rephrase my response. The artwork is gorgeous and enhances the space no matter how it’s positioned.” Ever gracious, my daughter replied, “Why thank you. We like them too. ” ***

A moment later, she sent another text that said, “I do agree one should be a bit lower. That’s what we meant to do but the nail just went somewhere slightly different.” I wouldn’t dream of commenting. ***

A tip of our hats To the hundreds of people who gave their time, energy and money to the Boston Pizza Alberta Men’s Curling Playoffs recently hosted here in Camrose. The organization and facility performed outstandingly. The national telecast also was excellent. The producers interspersed the programming with really good, (even in winter) current scenes throughout Camrose. They obviously sent a camera crew out on patrol all over our city to capture what they thought would be representative images of this community. They featured a variety of locales such as Mirror Lake and our tree lined Main Street. Now here it comes. There was also a captivating shot of the huge ski jump (with nothing but the hill, jump and blue sky) in the frame. It was taken from the west, perhaps at the City tree nursery on Parkview Drive. It was impressive.

Again, thank you for a good showcasing of Camrose and for bringing our unique and iconic structure to national attention once more. Steve and Peggy Shuman, Camrose Quality care On the afternoon of Jan.. 11, I slipped and fell on an icy road in Camrose. I tried to get up, but could not. Fortunately, Gail came to my rescue within a few minutes. She knew exactly how to care for me and within a short time my husband arrived and with the assistance of Janet and Dan, who had stopped to help, I was on my way to St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose. From our arrival in emergency until my discharge from Unit 5 a week later, I received knowledgeable, compassionate, considerate and respectful care. A fractured hip is not a delight, but, if it had to happen, I am very grateful that I was in the excellent caring hands of the physicians, nurses and all staff at St. Mary’s Hospital. We are very fortunate to have a hospital of this calibre in our city. Thank you to everyone. Diane Webster, Camrose Facts about fluoride Ingestion of fluoride has little benefit but many risks. Whereas fluoride’s benefits come from topical contact with teeth, there

are risks that come from being swallowed. Risk to the brain. According to the National Research Council (NRC), fluoride can damage the brain. Animal studies conducted in the 1990s by EPA scientists found dementialike effects at the same concentration (one part per million) used to fluoridate water, while human studies have found adverse effects on IQ at levels as low as 0.9 ppm among children with nutrient deficiencies, and 1.8 ppm among children with adequate nutrient intake. Risk to the thyroid gland. According to the NRC, fluoride is an “endocrine” disrupter. Most notably, the NRC has warned that doses of fluoride (0.01 to 0.03 mg/kg/day) achievable by drinking fluoridated water may reduce the function of the thyroid among individuals with low iodine intake. Reduction of thyroid activity can lead to loss of mental acuity, depression and weight gain. Risk to bones. According to the NRC, fluoride can diminish bone strength and increase the risk for bone fracture. While the NRC was unable to determine what level of fluoride is safe for bones, the best available information suggests that fracture risk may be increased at levels as low as 1.5 ppm, which is only slightly higher than the concentration (0.7 to 1.2 ppm) added to the water for fluoridation.

The process of building a household budget The majority of families must live on budgets. Heads of households where money is no object may be able to spend at will, but many men and women must develop budgets so their families’ everyday needs are fulfilled and so there is a safety net should an unforeseen situation arise and threaten family stability. Building a budget can be a significant undertaking, but there is a method men and women can employ when developing a family budget to make that process go as smoothly as possible. ¡ Gather pertinent documents. The first step

toward building a household budget is to gather pertinent documents, such as earnings statements, utility bills, mortgage documents, and any other documents that can help you figure out your earnings and expenses. ¡ Determine what’s coming in and what’s going out. When building a budget, you must determine how much income your household is generating and how much of that income is already earmarked for necessities like mortgage payments, car payments, etc. Make a list that includes an incoming and outgoing category for expenses, and make a

separate category for outgoing expenses that are not necessities, such as the amount of money you spend each month on dining out. Peruse past bank statements to determine those discretionary expenses. ¡ Determine which discretionary expenses can be trimmed. Certain expenses, such as mortgage and car payments, are likely fixed. Unless you can refinance your mortgage to earn a lower monthly payment or pay off your car loan so you no longer have to make monthly payments, you probably need to examine your discretionary spending to find opportunities to save

money. It’s best that men and women working together to build a household budget come to a consensus on where to make cutbacks, as you don’t want any resentment to build because one person was forced to sacrifice something important while the other was not. Be respectful of each other’s concerns and plan on each of you making a sacrifice so resentment does not develop Agree to make initial cutbacks a trial run that you will revisit in the near future to determine how the sacrifices are affecting your quality of life. ¡ Prioritize paying down debt. One of the best ways to

clear up money long-term is to eradicate debt, and consumer debt in particular. It is unrealistic to eradicate certain debts, like a mortgage, in the short-term. But consumer debt, which includes credit cards, tends to come with high interest rates, and carrying substantial consumer debt can negatively affect your credit rating. When attempting to pay off consumer debt, resolve to avoid using credit cards unless it’s a genuine emergency and you don’t have the cash to cover the associated expenses. ¡ Periodically revisit your budget. Men and women should periodically revisit their household budgets to determine if their budgets are effective and how those budgets are impacting life at home. Expect to make some minor tweaks whenever revisiting your budget, and don’t be averse to making more significant changes if the budget is proving especially difficult on certain members of your household. Building a household budget is no small task. Men and women willing to work together and revisit their budgets every so often may find that such an approach eventually creates a more financially stable and enjoyable situation at home.

Rotary Daybreak supports world’s poorest girls By Lori Larsen If you sew or serge why not give the fruits of your labour to a good cause? Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak is hosting a sewing and kit assembly event at Certified Training, 505150 Street, on Feb. 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The club is supporting Days for Girls International in the quest to provide reliable and sustainable feminine hygiene kits for some of the world’s poorest girls. “We have been doing this for a little over a year,” said Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak member Carol Davies-Pedersen. “The girls (who receive the kits) are staying home and eventually they drop out of school (as a result of not having sanitary supplies). If they stayed in school even until the end of high school they would have so many more options and choices in their lives.” The kits are comprised of flannel liners, cotton shields, soap, a wash cloth, a visual instructions sheet, plastic freezer bag and a couple pairs of undergarments, all inside a cloth draw string bag. Most of the components in the bag and the bag itself are sewn by volunteers. The kits are then assembled, also by volunteers, then distributed to areas where they are most needed. As well as providing the kits to over 85 countries, Days for Girls provides education on hygiene and reproductive health to young girls and women. “We invite people who sew or serge to come to work parties,” said Carol. “Over time we have had a couple of work parties where we just sewed. I am thinking we have the components to build over 200 kits on Feb. 27.” The Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak has received tremendous support from the quilting clubs in and around the city. If you are interested in volunteering your sewing or serging skills, or your time for trimming, turning and pressing sewn components or assembling kits, you can pre-register at camrosealberta@daysforgirls.org or contact Carol at 780-6724885. The next sewing day will be held on April 9.

Letters to the Editor Continued from page 8 Risk for bone cancer. Animal and human studies – including a recent study from a team of Harvard scientists – have found a connection between fluoride and a serious form of bone cancer (osteosarcoma) in males under the age of 20. The connection n between fluoride and osteosarcoma has been described by the

National Toxicology Program as “biologically plausible.” Up to half of adolescents who develop osteosarcoma die within a few years of diagnosis. Risk to kidney patients. People with kidney disease have a heightened susceptibility to fluoride toxicity. The heightened risk stems from an impaired ability to excrete fluoride from the

body. As a result, toxic levels of fluoride can accumulate in the bones, intensify the toxicity of aluminum buildup, and cause or exacerbate a painful bone disease known as renal osteodystrophy. The industrial chemicals used to fluoridate water may present unique health risks not found with naturally-occurring fluo-

ride complexes. The chemicals – fluorosilicic acid, sodium silico-fluoride, and sodium fluoride – used to fluoridate drinking water are industrial waste products from the phosphate fertilizer industry. Of these chemicals, fluorosilicic acid (FSA) is the most widely used. Robert Snider, New Norway

30 PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS Qualified Participants Needed for Technology Field Test

We’re looking for people like you, who may be experiencing varying levels of hearing loss to evaluate a remarkable new line of digital hearing aids and a rehabilitative process that could be the solution to your difficulties. There’s no cost or obligation to participate! Call us toll-free today at one of the numbers below to see if you qualify for this Field Test. Potential candidates will be given a FREE hearing test to determine candidacy. Participants will be a given a FREE in-office demonstration, as well as the opportunity to evaluate and report their experience wearing the latest, most advanced hearing aid technology for 30 days. A full range of styles are available in this new technology, including the exceptionally discreet open-fit and invisible-in-the-canal models shown here:

Similar to choosing between contact lenses or glasses, you can decide with your hearing professional which hearing aid style would best suit you. Both styles have approximately the same performance and functions, but are fitted to the ear differently.

It’s almost a shame this technology isn’t more visible! Open-fit and IIC hearing aids are smaller and more sophisticated than ever, striking the perfect balance between size and performance. The elegant and highly discreet open-fit hearing aid fits perfectly on top of your ear, and the thin tube in your ear canal is designed to disappear against your skin. The new IIC hearing aid–now with wireless technology–provides all of the outstanding features and benefits you want in a digital hearing aid, minus the stigma that came with wearing one in the past.

Ballet Jörgen performs Sleeping Beauty By Murray Green

Canada’s Ballet Jörgen performs Sleeping Beauty at the Jeanne and Peter Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. The Toronto based dance school and company is performing in western Canada after having a successful Cinderella show last March. By the time Sleeping Beauty arrives in Camrose, it will be a wellpolished performance during its current coast-to-coast tour. “Some of the dancers from the last production will be returning. This is a much larger production, so we have more dancers and that is why we need 14 local dancers instead of four,” said Iveson. All ages can enjoy the show. Ballet Jörgen has been praised for its fresh take on the classic fairy tale. “This is the first time we have performed Sleeping Beauty, but it was something our audiences wanted us to do. We held a poll and it was clear that people wanted to see Sleeping Beauty. If someone is coming to the ballet for the first time, this is a perfect show to come and see because you can follow the story and be struck by both the beauty of the story and the dance,” said Ballet Jörgen education manager Clea Iveson. Ballet Jörgen is a company that is in partnership with George Brown College. The two organizations operate a school together called George Brown Dance. “The dancers performing Sleeping Beauty are professional dancers that have been through all of their training,” explained Iveson. “Some have come from George Brown and others from somewhere else.” The show features 22 professional dancers, as well as 14 local dancers who will be used to fill some roles. “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,” shared Iveson. “We are coming the day before the show so the students can attend the rehearsals and be fitted for costumes. They will get the full experience of what it is like to be part of a touring dance production.” The local dancers are members of Ballet Camrose, Camrose Academy of Dance and Dance Dynasty.

Ducks Unlimited pays tribute to Cassidy, Hein By Murray Green

Camrose and District Ducks Unlimited will be holding a memorial dinner to recognize and reminisce over the good work that was done by Joel Cassidy, of Camrose, and Allan Hein, of Hay Lakes, during their 30 years of volunteering. The memorial dinner will be held on April 9. Ducks Unlimited Canada is known for the work it does conserving and restoring Canada’s wetlands habitats for the benefit of waterfowl, wildlife and for people. Since its beginning in 1938, DUC has influenced about 2.2 million acres of land in Alberta. “Together, we can help make a difference. We can help stop wetland loss, acre by acre, and save wetlands for tomorrow, today,” said member Doug Zarski. “You can become a sponsor and help save valuable acres of wetland habitat.” Donations of any kind are accepted and tax receipts are issued. For more information or tickets call chair John Levitt at 780-374-0168, secretary Lorne Ferguson at 780-679-7662, treasurer Barb Christiansen, Don Rogers at 780-679-2165, Tony Thomsen at 780-679-7571 or Doug Zarski at 780-6722228.

Bailey facing challenges By Dan Jensen

The Bailey Theatre will be facing another financially challenging year in 2016. Bailey Theatre Society president David Francouer told those attending the Society’s annual general meeting that the Bailey could be facing a significant funding shortfall now that it will no longer be receiving money from the MacInnis Family Foundation. “I would expect it to be a big transitional year for the Bailey,” said Francoeur. While the Society started 2015 with uncertainty and worry caused by the certification of technicians and the resignation of the general manager, which the HR and executive committees had worked so long on and hard to secure, it was able to experience a few shining moments thanks to the generosity of donors, passionate volunteers, the Bailey Theatre Society board members and the hard working dedicated Bailey team. “David Roth stepped into the role of interim manager to see us through the year,” said Francoeur. “David has spent countless hours keeping the Bailey operational and on course.” Francoeur expressed appreciation to volunteers, committees, donors and supporters who provided assistance with the Bailey’s successful fundraisers. “Under the leadership of Kim Hann Bateman the fundraising committee once again organized a very successful year of fundraising for the Bailey with events like the 50/50 Jaywalkers’ Jamboree raffle, the guitar auction at Big Valley Jamboree and the third annual Bailey Harvest Fundraiser.” The Bailey received $9,000 from the Camrose Rotary Club to fund the design, construction and installation of a historic display in the theatre lobby, and will use the $7,215 raised during the Fall Harvest Fundraiser for lighting and speaker repairs, a short

throw video projector, the buffing of auditorium floors and volunteer apparel. “These projects are being completed as time and resources become available,” said Bailey Theatre facilities committee chair Roth. Work that will be undertaken over the next six months with a $10,000 grant from the Battle River Community Foundation will include the placement of carpet in the front entrance and lobby, and repairs to plumbing, speakers and lighting. Roth said the Bailey is still in very good condition as it approaches five years of operation. “It is important that we keep on top of maintenance and repairs to avoid major problems in the future. There are several opportunities for grant applications for matching funds for projects that will be explored in the coming years.” Bailey Theatre Society treasurer Jeremy Mouat said the reason the Society has to fundraise is that it does not receive municipal support like Festival Place in Sherwood Park, the Arden Theatre in St. Albert, the Francis Winspear Centre for Music in Edmonton and the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose. “When we consider the Bailey Theatre’s financial position, it is important to bear in mind that it is highly unlikely that we’ll ever be able to balance the books from revenue from performances and shows. The costs of maintaining the theatre and staging events – the utilities, payroll, maintenance and so on are simply too high.” A key initiative that will help the Bailey going forward, said Mouat, is the Burn the Mortgage campaign. “As I reported last year this campaign is niche fundraising. The Society ended up with the mortgage of $600,000 to complete the project on time. Servicing that mortgage remains a

significant monthly expense ($3,455). Paying off the mortgage will help to ensure the theatre’s future. So far, the campaign has enabled us to pay down $88,900. Last financial year, Aug. 1, 2014 to July 31 2015, saw $33,400 paid toward the mortgage. So far this year, from Aug. 1, 2015 up to today we’ve paid down a further $55,500. So $88,900 has been raised, but we need to raise another $360,000 to become mortgage free.” Mouat noted it is important to maintain and expand the theatre’s role in Camrose. “We have competition, not only from other venues locally, but also from big screen TVs and other sources of home entertainment. The Bailey, however, has a special role to play in Camrose, not least as a key driver for the economic revival of the north end of Main Street.” Bailey Theatre Society marketing and promotions committee chair Barb Stroh said the Bailey has prepared new promotional information about venue rentals and has the goal of increasing rentals by 50 per cent in the new year. She added the Bailey is working to increase its presence on the Internet through Facebook, Twitter and its own website. “The website is used as a way for patrons to gather information about the Bailey and to purchase tickets,” she said. Volunteer coordinator Marian Williams said the Bailey Theatre had over 100 volunteers in 2015 working at such jobs as taking tickets, ushering, collecting donations, selling 50/50 tickets, working production backstage, selling memberships, manning booths at trade fairs and serving on board committees. “When I send out my monthly request for volunteers I am so pleased with the response. Each month I receive more volunteers than we need. The Bailey volunteers are amazing.”

Fish and Game Association banquet set for March 5 By Lori Larsen The Camrose Fish and Game Association will be holding its 22nd annual fundraising banquet at the Norseman Inn March 5. The dinner will begin with wild game appetizers, followed by an Alberta roast beef dinner served with all the trimmings. The evening will include a silent auction, raffles and door prizes, as well as entertainment by comedian Ol’Ugly. Camrose Fish and Game has been an active association in the Camrose area for over 55 years. Some of the initiatives the association has undertaken include sending youth to camp, providing a scholarship to Augustana, donating to Boy Scouts, feeding local school children, Buck for Wildlife, purchasing land for wildlife habitat, building and installing bird houses, and contributing volunteer hours and funds to improve and maintain the Pleasure Island trout pond. Supporting the fund raiser can be done by donating items for the raffle and silent auction, providing cash donations or purchasing tickets (table) to the event itself. The association appreciates the generous support of Camrose and surrounding area residents. For more information or tickets contact, Evva at 780-672-1616, Glen at 780-672-2783 or Jun at 780-6722890. Tickets are also available at Wok Box in Camrose (north of Home Hardware).

The local dancers are members of Ballet Camrose, Camrose Academy of Dance and Dance Dynasty. “We were looking for a variety of ages to fill the positions with the more difficult roles going to more experienced dancers,” added Iveson. “They will be fitted for costumes, learn their roles from our dance instructor and then join the other dancers for a rehearsal to make sure they know where they are going and who they are working with.” Some of the local dancers will have more then one scene. “They get to participate and in comparison to the other roles they will be smaller ones, but they will be helping us make it the best show that we can make it,” suggested Iveson. “We have to organize a time to get everyone together and explain what we are looking for in the performance,” said Iveson. “They are given a few hours to practice and then they are added to the company’s regular practice. “It is really important for us as an organization to connect with aspiring students who want to make a career out of dancing, or those who really enjoy dance and want to have more exposure. This is an opportunity for them to work with our company and see how we put a show on stage in a short period of time. It can really open some eyes for them if this is what they want to do. It will give them an inspiring experience to drive them in further studies. “However, this gives us an opportunity to reach into the communities we are performing at. We want them to contribute to the show to make it stronger and better. We want the local dancers to know there is training after they finish with their local dance organization. We show how to close the gap between the local club and professional dancing through college.”

Buying a new home? By Murray Green

The word is getting out on the best kept secret in real estate. The Home Program offers free education about how to buy a house, and then it gives you money on top of it. The successful program is in its sixth year of helping local people learn about all of the aspects of purchasing a home. Realtor Glenda Strauss, of Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty, is organizing the program that has already helped more than 140 residents. “We had about 50 people take the five-hour workshop last year and a total of 27 people over the last few years have taken advantage of the financial assistance,” explained Strauss. “People don’t have to buy right away. I was told that someone just bought their first property after taking the program 10 years ago. The funds are held for them until they are ready to buy.” The Home Program helps buyers by providing them with all the information they need to make the right decision with buying a home. “The five hours of free education are worth the time, even if they don’t take advantage of the funds,” said Strauss. “This program is ideal for anyone who is thinking about purchasing a home in the future.” The workshops will be held at the Camrose Public Library on March 2 and 9 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Attendance at both sessions is required to be eligible for financial assistance. The program was originally developed to help low and moderate income buyers, but has expanded over the years to include anyone interested in purchasing their own home. “In the mortgage portion, the difference between open and closed, fixed versus variable, and whether to go with a bank or mortgage broker, are all explained,” added Strauss. Strauss will talk about finding the right home for you.

“Buyers need to think about what suits their needs,” she said. “The realtor part of the course will cover the differences between renting and buying, condos versus houses, and what is the best resale value. You want to shop in the right price range to make it comfortable for making payments.” Following the home inspection guidelines could save a lot of money alone. “The home inspector goes through everything to look for in the property, from shingles down to the basement. He has a very in-depth checklist to follow, so you will know everything about your property,” said Strauss. “The lawyer does an excellent job of explaining why you need

a lawyer to purchase a home. They explain what the fee covers, and how they help with the transaction.” The workshop is free and the education is priceless. “People sign up for the course, attend the workshop, participate in the program with the realtor, and then they qualify for $1,000 to $3,000 of assistance,” said Strauss, explaining the process to receive assistance. “The funds are provided prior to the home-owner taking possession of the property.” To register for both workshops, go to www.thehomeprogram.ca, click on upcoming sessions, and register for Camrose Sessions one and two, or phone Karen at 780702-9608.

Service Options for Seniors offers assistance with filing income tax By Donna Coombs, SOS program

We are soon going to be into that time of year again – Income Tax Season, which happens every year during March and April. For most of us, filing our tax forms is a routine task we’ve been doing for years and years without a second thought. For others, it is a dreaded time when tax bills needing payment are discovered. Some may think that if they ignore their return, it will just go away, while a few say to themselves “I never have to pay taxes anyway, so why file?” As the executive director of Service Options for Seniors, I have to tell you that filing your taxes every year is a necessary ‘evil’. Our

Canadian society is based on each of us paying our share to support this great country. For those who find themselves on the short end of earning a living (most by no fault of their own, even more evident with the downturn in the economy), their lives depend on the social programs these tax revenues help support. Equally important, qualifying for assistance often means supplying ‘proof’ through annual tax assessment. All of the benefit programs available to seniors are income tested. This means you have to fall within a certain income level to qualify for programs like the Alberta Seniors Benefit, Alberta Special Needs, Alberta Optical and Dental,

the provincial property tax deferral program and the rental assistance program, as well as the federal GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement), the supplement to the Old Age Security for seniors on very low incomes. People dependent on social assistance, AISH (Alberta Insurance for the Severely Handicapped), or CPP-D (Canada Pension Plan Disability) must also file their taxes to qualify for these income support programs. If the government does not know you exist then it cannot pay you your benefits, and the way it knows you exist each year is through the annual tax return. This is also true of the federal GST rebate – if

the government doesn’t know your annual income, then it can’t say whether or not you qualify; if you don’t file your return, it can’t send you the quarterly payments. My suggestion is simple: file your tax return every year, as you never know when you may have to apply for any of these assistance programs. We never know when we may need help from our federal or provincial governments just to pay the bills. The SOS Program (Service Options for Seniors) runs a voluntary income tax program with two trained, screened volunteers who are willing to help with simple returns at no charge to clients. We have to follow Canada Revenue agency guidelines and the program is open

to single people with annual incomes under $30,000 and couples with annual incomes under $40,000. You can bring all your T-4s, T-5s and other receipts to our office, sign a release, have your tax form completed and submitted by e-file by one of our volunteers, come by to pick up a copy of your return, and then you have what you need to apply for the benefits you need. The Service Options for Seniors income tax program runs year round, but the busiest time is, of course, March to mid-May. The SOS office is located at 102 4909A-48 Street, Camrose. For inquiries call 780-672-4131. We are open Monday to Thursday each week, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, February 23, 2016 – Page 20

Report to the C Message from Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital It has been a very busy year for Covenant Health and St Mary’s Hospital. On June 25, 2015 we celebrated our 1st Anniversary of Stroke Unit Equivalent Care and Early Supportive Discharge. Following the celebration our team rode the Big Bike and raised $3,000.00 to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Dr. Christopher Nichol, in partnership with Alberta Health Services, led our team in our first successful stroke simulation exercise on November 11, 2015. The staged exercise is designed to help staff improve their response times from the point patients enter the hospital to when they receive critical medications. The team found this a great exercise to eliminate wasted time and streamline stroke care. We also had a great opportunity to tour Health Minister Sarah Hoffman and Bruce Hinkley, Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA, through our hospital which allowed us to engage in conversation regarding our strengths and some challenges at St. Mary’s and within Covenant Health. We refreshed our Vision to reflect that we are leaders and partners in transforming health care and creating vibrant communities of health and healing. We also refreshed our bolder Strategic Plan to reflect our calling to Serve, Grow, Transform and Contribute to vibrant healthy communities to help us maintain focus. We look forward to a 2016 filled with vision, hope and enthusiasm as we know our team of physicians, staff, Cherylyn Antymniuk volunteers, board members and partners are working Dr. Art Jaroni Site Administrator Medical Director together to provide quality health care for you.

Path to Home is a new care model that is being rolled out in all Covenant Health acute care facilities. The intent of Path to Home is to include patients and families in the care and planning of their hospital stays. Path to Home focuses on the quality of our patients’ experiences by formalizing admission and discharge activities. The goal is to create standardized and consistent communication between the multidisciplinary team, patients and family members. Our target is to have all nursing units performing Path to Home by March 31, 2016. The operating room will not be included in this initiative and a modified version will be initiated on our mental health unit.

As a patient you should expect to see the following changes with our Path to Home rollout: • Bedside report requesting patient consent with all shift changes • Nurses assigned to patients • Nurses performing patient safety checks at shift report • Daily whiteboard updates • Interdisciplinary team performing scheduled rapid rounds • Discharge date greater than/ less than five days • Completed discharge checklists.

St. Mary’s is working with Alberta Health Services to upgrade the helipad to accommodate new STARS helicopters. The helipad upgrade is due to be completed in March 2016. The helipad will be the height of the Providence Building. St. Mary’s was required to remove trees as the flight pattern of STARS will change.

St. Mary’s and the Cardiovascular Health and Stroke Strategic Clinical Network have received funding to enhance stroke care in Camrose and the surrounding area. Our rehab team will see mild to moderate stroke patients in their homes for 6–8 weeks to a max of 15 hours per week. This program anticipates 65 stroke unit equivalent care (SUEC) patients and 20 early supportive discharge care patients (ESD). To date we have seen 62 stroke patients and provided 44 patients with stroke rehabilitation care in their homes. St. Mary’s provincial score was 90% for early supportive discharge and our stroke unit equivalent care score was 93%. Camrose also received the highest rating in the province for patient satisfaction with ESD. Our team attended The Canadian Stroke Congress 2014, where our provincial stroke team was presented with the Co-chair Award for Impact for their Stroke Action Plan initiative. The Stroke Action Plan is a province-wide plan to ensure stroke patients in small urban and rural settings receive the same level of care delivered in larger centres. St. Mary’s will continue to partner with Augustana physiotherapy students to provide an outpatient neurology clinic. The intent of the clinic is to enhance and maintain the current function of Camrose community members living at home with persistent neurological conditions.

We continue to be inspired by the mission of the Sisters of Providence who established St. Mary’s Hospital in 1924. We are proud of the outstanding service provided by our leadership team, staff, physicians and volunteers. Their commitment and achievements brought commendation from the Accreditation Canada surveyors who described St. Mary’s Hospital as a real gem with a great atmosphere. Innovation and program maintenance often requires new or replacement equipment which is funded through your donations to the Foundation.

Accreditation is a process that helps our organization meet the challenges of the future. In Fall 2015, accreditation focused on obstetrical care, surgery, child health and mental health. The results of the survey indicated that Covenant Health met 94% of the criteria in the Accreditation Standards document. The surveyors highlighted staff engagement, physician engagement and support, a strong culture of care, well-developed policies, our new Strategic Plan, our Path to Home initiative, and the team work between staff and physicians. In Fall 2016, Accreditation Canada will focus on medicine, cancer care and emergency care. Our food service staff were the prestigious recipients of Covenant Health’s Mission Award for Stewardship. Our Mission Award is our annual organization-wide award program. The Camrose Primary Care Network has partnered with St Mary’s to provide a Hospitalist Program at St Mary’s. The hospitalist physician working with a nurse will provide generalist inpatient medical care to patients across inpatient units in the hospital. The hospitalist will not be responsible for the surgical and obstetrical patients as these patients will be seen by their admitting physicians. Family physicians can provide information about past health history and discuss patients’ treatment plans. The hospitalist will be visiting the patients and communicating their daily care plans. The hospitalist physicians will work with a highly skilled multidisciplinary team. The emergency physician will consult the hospitalist to admit patients into the hospital. The Hospitalist Program will also provide out-patient follow-up care for unattached patients and Hospital Expenditures $39M Hospital Expenditures $39M support them in finding family physicians. Once patients have been discharged from the hospital, the hospitalist will refer the patients back to their family physicians. Support Services If they do not have a family physician, a follow-up 19% appointment will be made for the patient at a clinic. We Support Services 19% have now hired into the hospitalist positions and are waiting for the physicians to relocate to Camrose. We Administration hope to start the Hospitalist Program in Spring 2016. 2% Inspiring young medical minds is a pilot project in partnership with Alberta Health Services and the Battle Administration River School Division. 12 junior high students from Diagnostic and 2% Therapeutic Services Camrose watched a simulation of a trauma patient move 20% through a patient’s journey (EMS, ER, diagnostic imaging and rehabilitation) at St. Mary’s Hospital to stimulate the students’ interest in medical career opportunities. Camrose physician Dr. Christopher Nichol came up with Emergency and Outpatient the idea for the program in part because of hisDiagnostic personal and 13% Therapeutic Services experience. The need for young people to consider 20% health professions is high; Alberta’s population is growing, aging and has more complex health needs.

AUGUSTANA MEN’S TEAM GOING TO CHAMPIONSHIPS

Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Augustana men’s team members Chris McGillis, Benjamin Bates, Andrew Klassen, Colton Simard and Brad Schroeder earned a trip to the ACAC curling championships.

The Augustana Vikings men’s curling team went 5-0 at the winter regional event Jan. 29 to 31 to finish the season in first place overall with a record of 8-2. The dominant weekend for the Vikings earned them a trip to the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference at Portage College Feb. 26 to 28. Coach Roger Galenza guided his team of skip Brad Schroeder, third Colton Simard, second Andrew Klassen, lead Benjamin Bates and spare Chris McGillis to the playoffs. “We knew what to do and we just went out and did it,” said Schroeder. “I felt that our attitude going into this regional was a lot better. We knew that we had to do our best,” added Simard. “Red Deer tends to pick apart little flaws our team has, so they are tough to play. NAIT is always a good team and Lakeland tends to have really good, or really bad games, so its hard to tell sometimes. All of the teams are fairly even, so there isn’t a clear cut team to beat,” said Bates on the other teams that qualified. “I think we had a good positive attitude and we kept the pressure on all of the teams,” said McGillis. Against NAIT the Vikings gave up four points to NAIT in an end. “Our goal was to beat NAIT so to have a four point end go against us was tough, but we worked through it pretty quickly and pulled ahead in the end,” said Bates. “One of the NAIT players didn’t have the proper paper work filled out for academic eligibility, so they forfeited three wins in the first regionals,” explained Klassen. “NAIT had to win games in the winter regionals to qualify and everyone knew that going in. They had to earn it and it gave us extra incentive to beat them, but they still got in,” said Schroeder. Physically, the Vikings beat every team going to the championships. “We have confidence because we beat them, but all of the teams are evenly matched. Red Deer and Lakeland beat us, so they think they are capable of beating us,” said Bates. “For Ben and I it is our last kick at the can and we want to do our best and go to nationals,” said Schroeder. “We started together four years ago with a gold medal in mixed, so it would be good to go out with a gold in men’s,” added Bates. The team will be working on staying focused mentally over the next two weeks to prepare for provincials. Augustana is determined to go to the Canadian finals at Fanshawe College in London, ON, March 23 to 26.

Freda Marie Blackwell July 16, 1925 ~ February 11, 2016 Freda Marie Blackwell passed away peacefully on February 11, 2016 where she resided in Mount St. Mary’s Care Home, Victoria, BC. She was predeceased by her mother and father; two older sisters and a younger infant sister, Rosalyn Marie. She was survived by her loving family: one son David (Patrice) Blackwell and son Travis (Julia Goodall), granddaughter Bethany, son Garret (Candice) Blackwell, son Bryan (Linda) and daughter Mercedez; four daughters Marilee Ewan and son John (Celeste Bergeron) Ewan: Reagan and Talia Little, Bonnie (Marvin) McLachlan, Debbi and Tim (Cyrena) McLachlan, Davis and Josie; Shirley (Jim) Maguire: Bobbie Jo (Lance) Kennedy: Ashton, Aiden, Jazlyn and Tyra; Nolan daughter Amber Brunner; Yolanda (Layne) Wakefield daughter Alexis; Clayton; Natalie (Albert) Labossiere son David; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Freda was born on July 16, 1925 at North Alton, Kings County, Nova Scotia to her mother Evorna Viola (English) Sanford and her father George Wilson Sanford and two older sisters Bonnie Jean and Dorothy Viola. Freda spent her childhood and early school years in that area attending Beaver Bank School where her mother taught and Truro, Nova Scotia and, for a brief time, also attended school in Boston. After high school, Freda successfully completed a stenographer course at Halifax Commercial Academy and began her career in Halifax during World War II. This is where she met and married her husband, Kenneth Roy Blackwell, from Weyburn, Saskatchewan on June 14, 1944. He was in the Royal Canadian Navy and was stationed there during the War. Their first child, Marilee Jane, was born there in June 1945. After the War was over, the little family moved back to Ken’s roots on the prairies to Estevan where Bonnie Lee was born, then they settled in Regina where Shirley Ann, Natalie Gay and David Kenneth completed their loving family. Freda made many beautiful quilts for family members. As well, she enjoyed doll making and her collections. She was a Brownie leader for many years, sang in the church choir and taught Sunday School. She had an enormous love of reading and enjoyed learning how to do new things! Freda was a wonderful mother and excelled at many creative pursuits like knitting and sewing. Ken’s career in insurance took them to Prince Albert, then to Saskatoon where their now-grown family left the nest and started their own families. There were many happy years of expanding her handiwork into quilting while they built a new house in Hardisty, Alberta. They travelled extensively throughout their retirement to New England and visiting family in Nova Scotia. They also travelled to Alaska with their fifth wheel, went on cruises through the Panama Canal and St. Lawrence River, toured Israel with their church group as well as made many excursions with Elder Hostel. In later years, Freda and Ken moved to milder climates on Vancouver Island, BC, settling in Courtenay then Victoria to be nearer to family. Freda was predeceased by Ken in 2006 and after a full and happy life, now leaves behind many loving family members across the western provinces. Flowers are gratefully declined. A donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or Alzheimer’s Society or a charity of your choice would be much appreciated. A celebration of Freda’s life was held on Saturday, February 20, 2016 from Comox Valley Funeral Home Cremation and Reception Centre, Courtenay, BC.

City working on debt policy By Dan Jensen

Committee of the Whole council has directed City administration to continue to develop guidelines for a new fiscal sustainability debt policy that would establish an upper debt limit of $56 million rather than the $81 million that is in the Municipal Government Act. The current level of debt for the City is approximately $21 million. Manager Malcolm Boyd told council that the policy would set a target for administration for planning purposes and ensure that the department heads’ first budget drafts are within a lower limit, as opposed to a higher one. “I am interested in it from a guiding principle for financial management,” said Boyd. “A self-imposed target would set a different limit for administration and planning purposes.” City director of finance and asset management Grant Egerdie told council a reduced debt limit policy (separate from the Municipal Government Act) has been implemented by a number of other communities. Councillor Greg Wood suggested the new policy include a restriction on how quickly the City can actually incur debt so that it does not have a situation where the tax levy is increasing by 20 per cent.

“We could say (in the policy) that we are willing to increase our levy by one per cent per year to handle the debt load if it is deemed necessary to do so,” he said. “It is not just the total debt, it is how we phase it in. If we have debt that is getting painful and we have room to absorb that debt with no increase in the tax levy that is one thing. Otherwise this debt goes directly to the taxpayers, with the exception of utilities, which shows up on the utility rates.” Wood agreed with Boyd that the policy would help administration juggle projects. “It will help them come up with suggestions on how they can handle additional debt and when,” he said. Councillor Bill Sears disagreed with the need for the policy. “We would be tying the hands of future councils,” he said. “What has happened in the past with policies such as this is that at some point in time the council of the future decides it is not able to operate under this for whatever reason. I think we should carry on with the best fiscal management that we do as councillors with our budgeting. I don’t think that putting something like this in policy is practical because we don’t know what the future is going to bring and we don’t

know what future councils are going to do.” Wood admitted that there are times when future councils will want to ignore the policy because it doesn’t make sense. “If that happens it is up to that council to ignore the wisdom of this council if that is what it is,” he said. “At this time though we should be having some sort of fiscal restraint mind-set, given the economy and where we are. If the policy doesn’t make sense 10 years from now it is (the future council’s) prerogative to change it.” Councillor Wayne Throndson said the City would be in trouble if it got anywhere near the selfimposed debt ceiling. “If we were $56 million in debt I would have some issues.” Mayor Norm Mayer said the policy would provide some governance in the future. “The hope is that the council of the day will understand that if they borrow $56 million somehow they have to pay it back. That is my problem. It is easy to borrow, but it is always harder to pay it back. It doesn’t do any harm to have something in writing.” Egerdie explained the policy would not impose restrictions on types of debt, and that any debt the City incurs would still have to be approved by council.

Hospice Society holding Town Hall March 1 By Dan Jensen

What will the six-bed hospice home look like, what services will it provide and how can you help make it a reality? Those are some of the questions that will be answered when the Hospice Society of Camrose and District holds a town hall meeting in the Norsemen Inn starting at 7 p.m. March 1. “The Hospice Society of Camrose and District board has put together a formal plan for the development of a hospice home where we can provide end of life care to individuals and grief and bereavement supports, and we would like to share that,” with people of this area,” said board vice-chair Pam Cummer. Hospice board chair Stacey Strilchuk said the goal of the meeting is to build strong community support. “We are ready to have those conversations with the community, with the public, but more importantly, potential community sponsors, because if we are going to do this, if we are going to be success-

ful, it has to be community driven and community owned. We are looking for those key sponsorship partnerships with people who might be willing to donate land, building supplies or expertise on architectural design. We know that we are not going to be able to do this without community support.” The meeting will include a power point presentation on hospice home admission criteria, the local Palliative and End of Life Care (PEOLC) Community of Practice, which will serve as the advisory council for the Hospice Society of Camrose and District, grief and bereavement support planning, and the hospice society’s vision for the home’s suites and kitchen. “We don’t have any architectural drawings yet,” said Cummer. “We have some ideas of what we would like to see but don’t have anything formalized because we don’t know what the community is going to come to us with. It is something that is going to have to be a fit for Camrose.” Strilchuk said the final

appearance of the home still depends on a number of factors. “It is going to look very different if we have somebody donate four acres of land or somebody comes and says that we have a four-bedroom home that we want to consider. We don’t want to be prescriptive at this time and say this is exactly how it is going to be built. The dynamic and size of the hospice in Okotoks, for example, changed quite a bit after a donor graciously offered 8.4 acres of land, so we don’t want to put ourselves into a box.” Strilchuk said the society has already received numerous offers from people who are willing to help out in whatever way they can, whether it is with architectural drawings, interior design or volunteering to bake in the kitchen. “We have had donations that have been given to the hospice society and that is great but we know this community is more than that. We know it is a gifted community and that it steps up to the plate in order to do what needs to be done.”

The Hospice Society of Camrose and District has done a great amount of work since it was established five years ago with fundraising campaigns like Lights to Remember and the Hospice Walk, the establishment of a volunteer program that is working in many of the Camrose care facilities, and the sponsorship of grief and bereavement workshops. “There is a lot of solid work that has been done and now it is time to take that next step with the hospice home,” said Cummer. “Everyone who came to the table at the Lights to Remember Campaign in Duggan Mall was curious as to what we were doing with the plans and commenting on how much we need something like this. We hear that often – more than often – from people in the health care professions as well as people who are volunteers or who have lost their loved ones.” Strilchuk believes Camrose is a suitable location for a hospice home. “There is a lot of messaging and information and evidence that shows how valuable it is for an individual at the end of

his or her life and his or her family members to be surrounded by loving caregivers,” she said. “I want to see the hospice home because I know the volunteer base that we have. I know the health care provider base that we have is passionate about palliative and end of life care. I know that family members want that additional support and I know that Camrose does that well. I am optimistic and excited about being able to deliver that for the community.” Cummer said the community has become more aware of the importance of hospice and palliative care which addresses the unique and individual physical, psychological, spiritual and practical issues, prepares for and supports end of life choices and the dying process, anticipates new issues, and promotes opportunities for meaningful and valuable experiences and personal and spiritual growth. “The community has a real understanding of what palliative end of life care is and we are really pulling together to support it.”

Jeep Cherokee

Mike Kissick By Dan Jensen

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee at Camrose Chrysler offers exceptional value and endless opportunities. Cherokee’s 2.3 litre Tigershark MultiAir I-4 engine achieves fuel economy of 7.7 litres per 100 km highway and arrives as standard issue. From its fully isolated aluminum head cover with an integrated oil separation system, to its high pressure die-cast aluminum block, the Tigershark engine was engineered to deliver a quiet and refined ride. The 3.2 litre Pentastar Variable Valve Timing (VVT) V6 engine with stop/start technology is a workhorse that was designed for those who require efficiency combined with extra muscle. Demanding drivers will appreciate its 271 horsepower, 239 lb.-ft. of torque, and fuel efficiency as impressive as 8.1 litres per 100 km highway. Economies are further enhanced with engine Stop/Start technology that automatically shuts off the engine as the vehicle comes to a stop, then seamlessly restarts it when the brake pedal is released. Jeep Cherokee’s class exclusive nine speed auto-

matic transmission is all about driving comfort, refinement and efficiency. Shift modes are determined by intelligent software that monitors engine torque, as well as kickdown, acceleration and road grade changes. Trail Rated Trailhawk Jeep Cherokee offers class-leading capability with your choice of three 4x4 systems. Jeep Active Drive I is a fully automatic, single-speed power transfer unit that delivers seamless operation in and out of 4WD at any speed. Equipped with a rearaxle disconnect, you can go from four-wheel drive to two-wheel drive and back again seamlessly, without driver input. This results in reduced energy loss when 4WD capability is needed – improving fuel efficiency. It all comes together to deliver a consistent boost in all weather capability. Jeep Active Drive II is a two-speed power transfer unit (PTU) offering torque management and 4-Low mode. This locks the front and rear driveshafts to deliver additional power at low speeds, or for towing your toys. A driveline neutral switch enables you to hitch Cher-

okee to your RV and take it along for the ride. Additionally, off-road capability is enhanced with a 2.5 cm increase in ride height and an incredible crawl ratio of 56:1 when paired with the 2.4 litre Tigershark, and a ratio of 48:1 when paired with the 3.2 litre Pentastar. The Trail Rate Jeep Active Lock includes everything in Jeep Active Drive II plus a locking rear differential that allows the wheels with the most traction to get 100 per cent of the system’s torque. For those who face severe weather or off-road conditions, Jeep Active Drive Lock will help Cherokee grab onto the ground and keep going, powered with even more capability and strength. Every 4x4 Cherokee is equipped with Jeep SelecTerrain Management System, giving you the power to tackle Mother Nature’s toughest conditions. You’ll have up to five settings that deliver ultimate driving stability by coordinating 12 vehicle systems, including throttle control, transmission shifting, transfer case, traction control and Electronic Stability Control. Choose from up to five sure-footed modes: Auto, Snow, Sport, Sand/ Mud and Rock.

Award-winning interior Jeep Cherokee arrives with an award-winning interior that offers plenty of room to move. Opt for the CommandView Dual-Pane Panoramic Sunroof and passengers in both rows will get more from every adventure, everywhere you go. Here, thoughtful design lives alongside versatile convenience and absolute beauty. Choose from a stunning array of colour palettes offered in sumptuous Nappa leatherfaced or premium cloth. Soft-touch surfaces are always within reach, adding more to the upscale appeal. Options abound, including heated and ventilated front seating for added warmth and cooling, and a heated steering wheel for welcome relief in the cold of winter. Cherokee has up to 18 cubbies, pockets and bins throughout, giving you plenty of spots to store phones, computers, tablets, maps and gaming devices. Flip up the floor of the rear cargo area and you’ll find three levels (depending on vehicle configuration) of rear cargo under-floor storage systems, each with an integrated storage tray. The 60/40 split-folding

reclining rear seats can travel up to 152 mm fore or aft for adjustable legroom flexibility. When the entire rear bench is folded, you have a nearly flat surface and approximately 1,554 litres of room. Masterfully simple The fingertip controls for the seven-inch customizable In-Cluster Display Centre are on your steering wheel and can instantly scroll you through a rich selection of vehicle data, including vehicle performance info, alerts and navigation. The award-winning and intuitive UConnect multimedia centre keeps you connected, informed and entertained. You can use your voice to control nearly every feature thanks to the latest available voice recognition technology.

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.

Defining racing pigeons in City bylaw By Lori Larsen Modern day pigeon racing began in the mid 19th century and is the sport of releasing trained racing pigeons from a preset distance in order to time the bird’s return to their home lofts (aviaries). The bird’s time is compared with other pigeons in the race determining which bird had the fastest speed. In Canada the sport of racing pigeons is governed by the bylaws of Canadian Racing Pigeon Union. In the Camrose region the Capital City Racing Pigeon Association and the Central Alberta Racing Pigeon Club are responsible for organizing pigeon races. At the Sept. 21, 2015 Committee of the Whole meeting Camrose resident Oliver Brown asked Committee of the Whole Council to consider amending the bylaw that prohibited pigeons from being kept in Camrose. Brown presented to council his interest in keeping racing pigeons within the city and participating in the sport of pigeon racing. At the time of the meeting Aaron Leckie, director, planning and development for the City of Camrose confirmed that the LUB (Land Use Bylaw) definition of livestock did prohibit racing pigeons from being kept within city limits and upon further examination noted the LUB rewrite did not include that definition. Council advised the matter be discussed during the MPAC (Municipal Planning Advisory Committee) meeting held on Oct. 21, 2015. After this meeting and at the direction of council, a definition of livestock was added to LUB 2838-15. MPAC also recommended that any amendments to be made to this definition allowing for racing pigeons be referred back to council. The current Camrose Land Use Bylaw 2838-15 Section 2.2 defines livestock as horses, cattle, poultry, swine, sheep, goats, and any fur bearing animals raised in captivity. “This matter has gone full circle,” said Colin MacPhee, senior development officer during a report of information to council at the Committee of Whole meeting on Feb. 16. “At the direction of MPAC it might be wise to just have the definition re-created in the land use bylaw so there is clarity for the citizenry regarding what the City’s position is on livestock.” Aaron Leckie suggested the definition of livestock be revitalized to be all inclusive.

Racing pigeons Continued from page 36 “If council does wish to permit that racing pigeons be allowed within the city of Camrose it would be the only exception we would have to the definition of livestock,” said Leckie. “If we plan to regulate racing pigeons it creates a bit of a dilemma where there are other similar uses such as laying hens and micro pigs that are not permitted. It deserves a larger discussion on regulations for a number of different livestock within the city.” Council inquired about whether anyone has asked to keep urban chickens inside the city limits. “I didn’t delve into the concept of urban chickens; I was more focused on the concept of racing pigeons,” explained MacPhee. “It raises the question as to what is council’s duty to the citizenry when it comes to balancing individual rights against the perceived impact of poultry in the back yard (of a city property).” MacPhee mentioned an inquiry into urban chickens was received the previous week. Leckie added the City has received a number of inquiries over the last couple of years from the citizens of Camrose about the keeping of different types of livestock or species that are currently not permitted. A survey conducted by City of Camrose staff of bylaws from other Canadian municipalities (Edmonton, Calgary, London, Brampton, Hamilton) regarding the keeping of racing pigeons on city property outlined specific requirements including annual licences, regulations on the size and dimensions of aviaries, number of birds, removal of droppings and times and dates allowed or prohibited for flying the birds. If an individual (racer or fancier) contravenes any of the bylaw rules, enforcement can be initiated and penalties may include fines or revocation of licences. Council questioned Oliver Brown during the presentation on the number of birds an average racer or fancier would keep, and specifically, when the pigeons would be released to fly. “Is the maximum of 75 pigeons a lot? It seems like a lot of pigeons in one location,” said Councilor Wayne Throndson. “I would say that is average to high,” replied Brown. For myself it would be smaller than that, a maximum of 40 birds.” As for flying times Brown explained the birds would require early exercise in the morning and then again in the afternoon, depending on the discretion of the fancier. There would also be training flights once or twice a week where the birds would be released a distance requiring flight back to the aviary and then flights for actual races. Continued to page 38

Racing pigeons Continued from page 37 Mayor Norm Mayer questioned where specifically Brown would house the birds if an amendment to the bylaw would be made. Brown indicated they would be contained inside the aviary in the back yard of his Camrose residence. Leckie explained that criteria regarding where racing pigeons can be kept in the city would have to be developed. “Because of the criteria it would be a discretionary use, said Leckie. “We would have to determine what land use districts are appropriate for racing pigeons.” Inquiries were also made as to the amount of noise created by housing that many pigeons. “They coo,” said Brown, “but it’s acceptable, just like any other bird.” Council decided that input from the citizenry of Camrose should be allowed prior to making any amendments to the existing bylaw regarding the definition of livestock. “If we are going to proceed we need to advertise the amendment to this bylaw to obtain any push back or input there might be from the public on this issue,” suggested Councillor Throndson. Any person wishing to share an opinion regarding this matter should contact City of Camrose senior development officer Colin MacPhee at 780-672-4428 by March 4.

Council wants to focus on Stage Is Set brand By Lori Larsen Committee of the Whole Council discussed the purple martin tourist attraction proposal Feb. 1. Mayor Norm Mayer began by questioning whether the City should brand itself as the Purple Martin Capital and if the location proposed by the group Jan. 18 was the most appropriate. He suggested an alternate location might be the ski lodge area which already has purple martin houses and where an annual meeting of purple martin enthusiasts is held. Council members and City employees also weighed in on the proposal by the purple martin group. “Right now I think we need to concentrate on giving our new platform “The Stage is Set” more marketing focus,” suggested Councillor Agnes Hoveland. “The “Stage is Set” is a great logo, a great marketing piece and we really haven’t done a whole lot with it. In my opinion it is there and I would really like to see more emphasis on that going forward.” City of Camrose economic development officer Ray Telford explained how the present branding is intended to cover a variety of aspects with the City. “The stage is set for planning and development, the stage is set for BVJ, the stage is set for this and that. That’s what the branding was for,” said Telford. “It covers all the good volunteers and all the good citizens of the city. It makes sure that the City of Camrose does well at attracting more people. “It (the brand) is not just for the Bailey and not just for the Lougheed centre. The Stage it Set is for absolutely everything.” Councilor Sears suggested there could be some discussion with the purple martin group as far as the conservation aspect. “Maybe having more bird houses around but something not as large or not ‘the’ largest. Something that would signify what’s happening here as far as the purple martin goes.” Mayor Mayer concluded the discussion with the suggestion that there be an administrative meeting with the purple martin group to try and establish some other alternatives to the initiative.
