Swapped! After lengthy, intensive in-camera negotiations by both Wetaskiwin and Camrose Councils, a deal has been struck for each community to have a fitting new landmark. Wetaskiwin will take over ownership of our controversial ski jump and the stage is set for Camrosians to be the proud owners of a historic, soon-to-be re-logoed, water tower. The ski jump will be moved to an area immediately north of the Wetaskiwin golf course. Garbage collected from the community over the next three months, along with hundreds of recycled cars, will be compacted, piled and covered with clay and topsoil, effectively building a mini-mountain high enough to allow prairie ski jumping within the year. Meanwhile, the water tower, already being prepared by crews in Wetaskiwin for the move east, will be carefully positioned on the man-made dirt road which presently serves as a walking bridge across the north side of Mirror Lake. Because of the height, the water tower will be visible across the city. It is expected to become a major tourism draw. Massive trucks, used by Meridian Manufacturing to move grain storage bins, and cranes owned and operated by Proctor Picker Service, will be utilized in the unique swap. Both moves commence bright and early on the morning of Friday, April 1st. For more information see page 24.

Making a difference Our government remains focused on competent fiscal management, creating jobs, diversifying the economy, and investing in needed public infrastructure. We are also focused on opening new markets for our products.

Here are some highlights of our government’s initiatives:

Bruce Hinkley MLA, Wetaskiwin-Camrose

•

235,000 children in 130,000 lower-income families will receive a total of $195 million in annual benefits from the new Alberta Child Benefit.

•

290,000 children in 143,000 families will receive a total of $141 million in annual benefits from the enhanced Alberta Family Employment Tax Credit.

•

Nearly $415 million in Green Trip funding for transit, the Government of Alberta will be providing new funding to support municipal transit initiatives and rural bus service in the future.

•

The government will protect vulnerable Albertans from paying interest rates of up to 600% on payday loans and spiraling into poverty. We are creating an environment where interest rates are reduced and Albertans have access to short-term loans that help bridge gaps in their finances and provide greater stability.

•

The Alberta Municipal Solar Program: Climate Change and Emissions Management Fund (funding a solar energy rebate/incentive program for municipalities of $5 million) and the Agriculture and Forestry Growing Forward 2 Solar program ($500,000 invested in agricultural operations) thus increasing farm efficiencies and adding power to the Alberta interconnected power grid.

Council continues deliberations on school site By Lori Larsen

City council is continuing to review a location for the requested new Elk Island Catholic School high school. During a Committee of the Whole meeting council members expressed their thoughts on the potential site locations within the north portion of Rudy Swanson Park. “Council can provide some direction to administration as to what we might be in the position to offer or what we might be able to provide in regard to this request,” said Mayor Norm Mayer. City administration presented council members with seven possible options within the Rudy Swanson Park area, pointing out which sites EICS indicated as either favourable or off the table completely. “There’s really no option that is the perfect example or the perfect solution,” said Jeremy Enarson, director of engineering for the City of Camrose. “We would just like to engage committee members and have some dialogue and see what your thoughts are regarding area and locations.” Concerns from council members focused around access to the site options, an increase in traffic, loss of green space and protection of future expansion for the Community Centre. “After meeting with some of the EICS group it was determined that transportation in and out of the school was the most impor-

tant item on their agenda”, said councillor Kevin Hycha. Enarson remarked, “Regarding the locations here within Rudy Swanson Park, one of the big areas of concern from an administration perspective is ease of access. “With school buses, high school students and teachers there is going to be a lot of traffic going in and out of a location like this. “At the Rudy Swanson site we would probably lean more towards some of the options that have more direct access to 53 Street via 45 Avenue as opposed to 46 Avenue” An increase in traffic and the effect it would have on the surrounding area, specifically with regard to traffic flow, presented other concerns. Councillor Agnes Hoveland remarked on the impact traffic in and out of a couple of the options would have on 53 Street. “It is already extremely busy and the hospital is having a lot of problems with parking,” she commented. “There is parking right now on both sides of 53 and that may eventually be done away with. A lot of people are parking along 46 Avenue and walking across the street to access services. “Adding school buses and extra cars may cause an increased bottle neck that isn’t necessary,” Hycha questioned the possibility of locating the high school on other sites in the city separate from the

area within the Rudy Swanson park. “There are definitely some other green field options that are available,” said Enarson “Not all are owned by the City so we would have to look at potentially purchasing them.” “We are not trying to narrow it down to only Rudy Swanson but wanted to provide council with additional information regarding the sites at Rudy Swanson.” Councillor Max Lindstrand raised the question as to whether or not consideration had been given to locating the high school on the existing St. Patrick Catholic School site. “Is that a large enough area to accommodate another school? I know that the EICS was not interested in partnering with the Camrose Composite High School on its site, but maybe they would be interested in locating in the north end on the St. Patrick School site.” Enarson’s response implied that the St. Patrick site was likely not large enough to accommodate two schools. Councillor Bill Sears spoke about the information given during a recent presentation at St. Patrick School on proposed plans for the school. “They (EICS) actually want to downsize St. Patrick school to make it a kindergarten to Grade 4 school,” said Sears. “Then OLMP (Our Lady Mount Pleasant) becomes a middle school and the high

school will be just the high school. They felt they needed all of St. Patrick for their elementary school.” The specific plans, as outlined by Mayer, included Grades 1 to 4 at St. Patrick School, Grades 5 to 8 at OLMP and Grades 9 to 12 at the new high school. “We heard from EICS that transportation in and out of the site options at Rudy Swanson is a huge issue and I don’t know if you are going to solve that problem anywhere on that site (Rudy Swanson),” said Sears. “But a green field site where we could develop some transportation corridors and maybe lead to some more residential development in another area might be more favourable to everyone.” Concerned that the proposed sites at Rudy Swanson may not be practical, councillor Greg Wood agreed with councillor Sears on the possibility of alternative sites. “I am inclined to look at the Enevold area,” he said. “If there is such an urgency to have this done and the province is on board to do it perhaps they (the province) may be willing to front-end the costs of service connections until such a time that the City is prepared to develop the rest of Enevold. Then if it is the City or someone else that develops it they pick up the costs at that time.” In response to council members’ suggestions of utilizing other green field sites to locate the new EICS high school, City manager Malcolm Boyd said admin-

istration will bring back a report identifying the pros and cons of other sites. “Today we were trying to get some resolution if it was this site, specifically where on this site would it be because that makes a big difference to the cost,” he said. “At this point this is the only site that does not have a significant (financial) impact on the City. Assuming that we have to provide a site and services to the property line on any other sites, it is going to be challenging from a financial prospective.” Mayor Mayer suggested a combination of two of the proposed Rudy Swanson Park options in order to address concerns from both EICS and council members regarding ease of access as well as the provision of sufficient green space. “The only possibility there (Rudy Swanson Park) is to combine the two options then the rest (remaining site options) we keep for our community and we don’t inhibit our expansion of the Community Centre down the road whether it be five years, 10 years or 20 years,” said Mayer. “We will see what that looks like for transportation and if that doesn’t fit than we look into somewhere else. “While we may be being asked to provide the site we don’t have to mess up the entire park development to try to accommodate a site. “We will do our best to try to come up with a reasonable location and go from there.”

Sorenson disappointed with budget By Dan Jensen

Battle River-Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson isn’t hiding his disappointment with the new federal budget tabled by the Canadian Liberal Party March 22. “The Liberals’ election promise of a $10 billion deficit is now $29 billion and counting,” said Sorenson. “My constituents know that borrowed money needs to be paid back and the Liberals will have to eventually raise taxes to reduce the massive tax burden they are building for future generations to pay off. Canada’s economy is not in recession and there is no need for massive deficit spending.” In spite of spending nearly $30 billion in borrowed money, Sorenson said the budget has no plan to help get unemployed Canadians back to work. “The reckless Liberal plan simply grows the size of government and does nothing to actually create jobs. This budget fails to encourage the private sector to invest in our economy and to create wellpaying, high quality jobs.”

Kevin Sorenson

Sorenson feels Canada’s economic success and ability to create and sustain high-paying jobs will depend on its global economic competitiveness. “Conservatives support investments in clean technology development and innovation in the natural resources sector but these initiatives must deliver concrete and measurable results for business and the environment,” he said. “Investing in innovation for the sake of investing in innovation is not good enough. These investments should be market driven, enhance Canada’s global economic competitiveness, bring

our resources to market in the most efficient and environmentally responsible ways, and lead to the growth of high paying jobs for Canadians.” The budget eliminates tax breaks for tuition, textbooks, and fitness and arts costs, and eliminates income splitting for families. National defence will have billions of dollars in planned equipment spending pushed off past the next federal election and the only mention of agriculture is support for research over the next six years. The small business tax rate will not be lowered to 9.5 per cent as scheduled, and will instead stay at 10.5 per cent. Sorenson noted that the Conservatives left the Liberal government with a surplus of $3 billion. “We focused on keeping taxes low and supporting policies that helped create more than a million jobs,” he said. “Conservatives know the recipe for job creation and economic growth: low taxes, free trade and spending taxpayer money responsibly.”

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson If it fits my experience… As someone who went back to school as an adult – and kept going back! – I have a lot of respect for the value of life experience mixed with theoretical learning. I took child development courses after I had children. I learned about the theory of child and adult learning after I’d been a classroom teacher and adult workshop leader. I learned about the theory of community and organizational development after twenty years of experience as leader, manager and consultant. The downside of theory-after-experience was that some of the theory I learned might have been helpful during my earlier experience! The upside was that I could assess whatever theoretical stuff I was learning through the filter of my own experience. If the theory fit my experience, I gave it more credibility. The other upside was that, as I learned new theories, I often was able to view previous life experiences in a more enlightening way. This is a long preamble to explain my reaction to some new research about effective teams. See if it fits your experience. *** For any organization to thrive, teams need to work together effectively. Google has done extensive research into the skills and character traits of a “dream team.” The researchers thought they knew what they’d find. “We were pretty confident that we’d find the perfect mix of individual traits and skills necessary for a stellar team – take one Rhodes Scholar, two extroverts, one engineer who rocks at AngularJS, and a PhD,” they explained on their blog. But that’s not what they found. After two years of analysing more than 180 teams and interviewing hundreds of employees, they discovered the secret to a high-performing team is less about individuals and more about team dynamics. High performing teams almost always had five characteristics. *** Psychological safety – team members feel safe to take risks and be vulnerable in front of one another. Dependability – team members get things done on time and meet high standards of excellence. Structure and clarity – Team members have clear roles, plans and goals. Meaning – Work is personally important to team members. Impact – Team members think their work matters and creates change. The researchers found that by far the most important team dynamic is psychological safety – the ability to be bold and take risks without worrying that team members will judge you. *** The research fits my experience. When I thought about “teams” I’ve been part of – whether family, work teams, sports teams or community groups –the hugely effective teams I’ve been part of had all five of the characteristics. Those were fun. The saddest teams were ones where team members could take risks with one another, were dependable, understood their role, and were passionate about the meaning of their work, but were unable to have any impact on their organization. That was the stuff of burnout and wasted time and resources. Think about politicians in government. If they make a misstep – or even if they don’t – they can pretty much count on being trashed in public by the opposition, the media and we the public. This does not foster high-performing teams. I like thinking that in our families, our workplaces and our communities, we can easily apply those five characteristics. *** I also appreciated that Google’s research demonstrated once again that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts; that systems and processes are important too. In our Western way of thinking, for a couple of centuries we’ve focused on the individual. We haven’t always realized that the context and the inter-play between and within individuals can be far more powerful than the total of all the individuals’ characteristics. This “look only at the components” way of thinking has profoundly influenced everything from how we perceive health to how we do science and how we raise our children. Nice to know that as influential an organization as Google is seeing a bigger picture. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

Make your bed, now lay in it Now I am hearing from social media that a lot of Albertans want to remove Notley from power. In letters I have written in the past I did warn you of what would happen if a New Democratic Party government got in. It seems to me that not a lot of people agreed with me. This I will say to all Albertans: the majority of you voted her in. So to you I will say: you made your bed, you can just lay in it. To the rest of you, I will say: in four years you can then kick her out. Let us hope there is a province left to kick her out of. Time will tell if Albertans have learned their lesson or not. Lorne Vanderwoude Camrose Democracy threatened It is now more than obvious that many of us citizens/ taxpayers on the Canadian prairies sense that some things are going terribly wrong – and quickly. I admire what many dedicated volunteers are doing in Alberta to try to stop the insanity by getting as many names as possible on peti-

tions, asking our provincial leaders to hold a plebiscite (a direct vote of the electorate) regarding Bills passed and Bills proposed that are known to be very concerning to a large numbers of folks. At the very least, let’s sign these petitions, and if time can be found, let’s also write letters to certain politicians, asking for a return to common sense (respect for the sense/wisdom of the common people). In fairness to our politicians, some of whom are sincere and dedicated, I wish to point out that the battle is not against them personally, but against the evil influences that have permeated the thinking of many politicians, educators, and social engineers. This is why I like the way the Albertans First Plebiscite Warriors movement is based on love for our fellow citizens, rather than just angry irrational protest. In my view, the present attacks that are being launched against our society can be summarized in this way: promotion of false ideology (promoting false ideas and ideals that form the basis of political policy); disregard for democracy (disregard for the common people’s view); disregard for financial accountability (spending money that we do not have and borrowing large sums). Of the three above, I think the pushing of destructive ideology onto the people is the most damaging. Recent blatant examples in Alberta are the proposals to soon shut down the coal fired electricity generators (our reliable source of electricity), forcing Bill 6 into law in full knowledge that a large number of rural people and

SOME LIKE IT HOT

many others were opposed, and the most blatant of all, the new gender policy for Alberta schools promoting a completely disproportionate agenda for trans gender people at the expense of everyone. If there were awards for throwing young people into utter confusion, and ensuring that they stay confused, our present government would have just won the gold medal in this category. If you are a parent or grandparent or anyone who cares about children you must at least skim this most bizarre document, introduced recently by Education Minister David Eggen, and I hope you will be motivated to notify him and Premier Notley immediately of your opinion. You can find it quickly by Googling Alberta Guidelines for Best Practices; Sexual Orientations, or CitizenGo.org. It seems both Alberta and federal governments are operating on similar ideologies, which in my view are destructive, and not held by most citizens on the prairies. As a Christian (meaning I trust that Christ paid the death penalty for my sins and faults), I see things from my Christian viewpoint, but I believe my fellow citizens, Christian or not, can equally see the destructive nature of the policies and regulations being forced onto us by some of our current law makers and policy makers. I am interested to see if the views I am expressing are common sense (held by most of the common people. Maybe a powerful common sense movement, larger than just Alberta, can be organized to make a big difference in our future. Jim Blair, Morrin

Government freezes salaries

Alberta is freezing salaries for all management and non-union employees at provincial agencies, boards and commissions as part of the province’s ongoing restraint measures to reduce government operating costs. Among the organizations affected by the freeze are Alberta Health Services, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, and the Alberta Energy Regulator. The freeze will be in effect for two years, beginning April 1. “We are facing oncein-a-generation economic challenges, and we need to reduce our costs while doing all we can to protect jobs and maintain public services that support families,” said Joe Ceci, president of treasury board and finance minister Similar compensation freezes were put into effect in January for all management and nonunion Alberta public service employees, and last October for cabinet members, MLAs and political staff. The freeze applies to all agencies, boards and commissions listed under Alberta’s Public Agencies Governance Act. The salary freeze is a first step to contain salary cost while the review of compensation for board members and executives at agencies, boards and commissions continues. As outlined in the Throne Speech, legislation will be introduced this spring to further address compensation for these officials.

Bawlf author releases latest book

Michelle Beattie By Dan Jensen

Romance, swashbuckling adventures, mysterious characters and the thirst for revenge are woven together in a masterful way in Michelle Beattie’s newest historical romance Her Pirate to Love. The fourth in the Sam Steele series, Her Pirate to Love traces the romance that develops between Cale (a.k.a. Sam Steele), a notorious pirate tormented by his past, and Grace Sullivan, a determined Irish woman rescued from the ship of Captain Roche Santiago who has vowed to never put her faith in a man again. “The pirate Cale stole her from (Santiago) is trying to get her back,” said Beattie. “The adventures come as they try to outrun him in the Caribbean.” Beattie, who lives just outside Bawlf, sold her first book in the series, What a Pirate Desires in 2007, 12 years after she first decided to take up writing as a profession. “It was meant to be a stand alone book and that was it,” she said. “I was only going to write the one, but the publisher at the time asked if I could make it into a series.” After the third book didn’t do as well as she had hoped, Beattie found herself looking for a new publisher to complete the set. “The publisher I was with at the time didn’t want anymore after the third one, but I had already developed the ideas for the next two,” she said. “In my head I had five books, so I waited and waited and finally decided I would write them (remaining two) whether anyone wanted them or not. The publisher I have now is more of a digital publisher.” Beattie became inspired to write stories about pirates after watching the adventures of Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. “I really don’t know what attracted me to pirates as characters because they didn’t have a very glamorous life. It was hard, it was dirty and it was brutal,” she said. “They did have their own sort of government though.

They elected their captain and they lived by their own terms, which I have always thought was kind of cool.” Her Pirate to Love has already generated many positive reviews from long-time fans. “There are hurdles to cross and there are twists, but the story is one that draws you in from the beginning,” said Kerry Croucier. “Be aware that if you start with this one you will want to go back and read the others. I know I do.” Another reviewer with the moniker of BookSnuggle said the book grab’s the reader’s attention right away. “There is a lot going on in this book. You have a hot, steamy romance, adventure and surprises along the way. At times the story had me on the edge of my seat. I even hollered out a few times and my husband thought some-

thing bad had happened with our kids.” The fact that the books are being snapped up gives encouragement to Beattie to keep writing. “It is a pretty special feeling when that happens,” she said. “There were days when I was writing it that I was convinced it was garbage and no one was going to like it. It is so gratifying after so many hours that people are liking it and saying now that they can’t wait to read the next one.” Beattie gives credit to the publisher who took her on after she was wondering what to do next. “They took the risk and they are really behind me,” she said. “I am actually one of their first historical writers.” Beattie did most of her research for the series at the start – looking into the design of the pirate ships

and relying on her English Through the Ages dictionary to get a feel for the language that was used. “I did a ton of research for the first pirate book,” she said. “In this book (Her Pirate to Love), Grace is Irish, so I had to dig back into what life in Ireland would have been like then. I found that the Caribbean has a huge population of Irish people because they were shipped out of Ireland when the English came in and took their land. A lot of them were sold into the Caribbean as indentured servants.” Beattie estimates she spends about six hours a day at the computer either writing or marketing her books. “With the e-book market the way it is everything is changing, so it is important to spend a lot of time on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram getting the word out,” she said. “My oldest child is

18 and at university and my youngest is in Grade 8, so honestly my husband’s business is what allows me to be a stay at home mom and do my writing.” In addition to her pirate series, Beattie has written two western historical romances, Heart of Mine and Another Chance, and Love By Accident, which is set in Jasper and involves bear poachers and park wardens. Love By Accident took top prize in the paranormal category, while Another Chance took top prize in the historical category at the 2011 Star Contest for best self published books. Beattie’s books are on sale in digital format at iBooks, Amazon and Barnes and Nobles, and in paper back at Amazon. A book signing event will be held at Malories Bistro and Wine Bar in early April.

Supports for the Journey By Margaret Holliston The Camrose Seniors Coalition year-long federallyfunded Elder Care project formally ended on Feb. 26 with a regional gathering during which the comprehensive document, Supports for the Journey: A Planning Guide to Aging in Place, was officially launched in a presentation by project facilitator, Mary Wilton. Participants included MLAs Bruce Hinkley (Wetaskiwin-Camrose) and Wes Taylor (Battle RiverWainwright), city and county councillors, representatives from the Alberta Council on Aging, Friends of Medicare, Public Interest Alberta, FCSS and other service providers in

SENIOR FLOOR CURLING CHAMPS

A team from Camrose won the Zone 4 Alberta 55 plus Floor Curling Challenge Cup. Members of the winning team are Leona Oberg, Ed Fuller, Helen Caldwell and Frank Snopek. The eight team Challenge Cup was held at Wetaskiwin on March 4, with a very unusual finish. There was a five way tie for first place, so the winner was determined by the total points scored, giving the Camrose team the win with 22 points, four points ahead of the second place team from Daysland. Teams represented Hay Lakes, Rimbey, Big Valley, Falun, Daysland and Camrose.

East Central Alberta. Camrose seniors who served on a project advisory committee were also able to join in the day. In addition to the Planning Guide launch, Sandra Woodhead Lyons, executive director of the Institute for Continuing Care Research and Education (ICCER) and Dr. Lars Hallstrom, director of the University of Alberta’s Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities (ACSRC), provided a summary of their community-based research conducted throughout Alberta to identify training and professional development interests of continuing care practitioners. The conversation on Feb. 26 was rich, as people learned from one another and shared ideas on how elder care in Alberta needs to be improved, and how we might work together to achieve common goals. Camrose Seniors Coalition is proud of Supports for the Journey: A Planning Guide to Aging in Place. The guide will be publicly launched at the Camrose Legion’s “Fifth Tuesday of the Month” series on March 29 at 7 p.m. at the Legion. Copies will be available to take home, and Mary Wilton will be on hand to facilitate a walk-through and answer questions. What makes the Planning Guide so special? It includes an inventory of local housing options and services, and a check-list to guide seniors and their families as they navigate the complex system of elder care. It offers a

wholistic approach, complete with stories and covers just about everything that people need to consider in order to ‘age in place’ the best way possible, regardless of their situation or circumstances. The guide begins by inviting people to prepare for ‘aging in place’–something we must all do, and often sooner than we like, given how life speeds by so quickly. It covers such topics as healthy aging, grief and loss, family and caregiver support (including how family dynamics, especially between siblings, can impact the aging process for elderly parents) along with financial information, legal resources and housing options. Over the next month or so, copies of the guide will be delivered to various waiting rooms for folks to browse while they are waiting for their appointments. The guide is also available on the CDSS website http://www.camrosefcss.ca/elder_care_planning_ guide/. But why not drop by the Legion at 7 p.m. on March 29 to pick up a copy for yourself and hear more about the guide from Mary Wilton? Supports for the Journey: A Planning Guide to Aging in Place was applauded by all those who attended the regional gathering on Feb. 26. The Camrose Elder Care project was funded by the Government of Canada New Horizons for Seniors program, with additional funding from the Battle River Community Foundation and in-kind support from Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS).

Helping seniors get around Communities can use a new toolkit to help develop transportation options for seniors who do not have access to personal vehicles. Lack of transportation options makes it difficult for some seniors to attend medical appointments, go shopping, do day-to-day errands or attend social activities. This can compromise their ability to remain healthy and active in their communities. The need for alternate transportation is growing as people are living longer. “Having reliable and affordable transportation options helps seniors remain healthy, active and connected to their communities,” said Lori Sigurdson, Alberta Minister of Seniors and Housing. The University of Alberta’s Medically At-Risk Driver Centre developed the Transportation Toolkit for the Implementation of Alternate Transportation for Seniors in Alberta with funding assistance from the Alberta government. The free kit is

a resource for communities that want to set up alternate transportation services. For example, the toolkit provides guidance on how to set up a handivan program for seniors. “The lack of easily accessible and targeted information on how to develop and implement this type of transportation service is a challenge that rural and urban communities face in addressing the unmet transportation needs of seniors,” said Dr. Bonnie Dobbs, director of the Medically At-Risk Driver Centre. “This toolkit addresses that need.” Wainwright started a handivan service for seniors as a pilot project, which provided valuable information and experiences to help develop the toolkit. Since the service began, ridership has increased from 20 trips per month to 150 per month, which means more area seniors are able to attend appointments, take care of errands and take part in social activities.

Kidney Foundation happy with work of volunteers By Dan Jensen Kidney Foundation of Alberta and Northwest Territories executive director Flavia Robles expressed appreciation to both financial supporters and volunteer canvassers at the kickoff of the March Kidney Campaign in Camrose. “You make a huge impact,” said Robles. “Everything that the Kidney Foundation is able to do is because of you. You are making huge impacts on people’s lives.” Kidney Campaign team leader Erhard Pinno said he has already lined up 16 volunteers to knock on doors during the month of March, a number that could still grow. “We appreciate everyone who takes the time to assist us. We have people who keep volunteering year after year.” Pinno said the support the Kidney Foundation receives in Camrose is as strong as ever. “The number of people who give to the campaign are fewer but the amount and type of donations we have received has gone up. We have many people in this community who are very generous in one way or another, whether it is by helping a neighbour in need, donating cash or even donating a kidney. They give to those who are living with kidney disease.” The kickoff included the showing of a clip from the documentary film entitled The Ward that the Kidney Foundation is using to increase awareness about the people who are undergoing dialysis and, in many cases, are on waiting lists for kidney transplants. “What the documentary has allowed us to is create some really powerful messages and images and what it means to be on dialysis and the need for organ donation,” said Robles. “We hope

Camrose Kidney Campaign leader Erhard Pinno, centre, and Kidney Foundation executive director Flavia Robles accepted cheques for $5,000 from Central Agencies owner Norm Mayer, $400 from Grant Skippen and $1,000 from Tim Zarski. Not pictured is Ken Drever, who made a donation of $600.

it is going to be enough to capture people’s attention.” Robles presented disturbing statistics showing that Canada is 23rd in the world in terms of organ donation rates and that 79 per cent of all the Canadians who are on the transplant list are waiting for a kidney. “The need right now is huge with not enough supply to meet demand,” she said. “People would accept a kidney if they needed one but they are not deciding to have their name put on the organ donation registry.” Robles explained there would be less stress on the health system if more people came forward to donate their kidneys (or for that matter any other organ). “It is a matter of economics,” she said. “I say economics because dialysis costs the (health system) over $80,000 per person, whereas a transplant is a one time cost of

$23,000 and after that goes down to $7,000. That is a huge difference.” Robles said the Kidney Foundation encourages kidney donors to come forward by reimbursing them for travel, companion travel, accommodation, parking and meals. “If they are not able to cover the costs we come in and help them,” he said. “We don’t want costs to be a barrier if they are they are part of a life saving transplant. We feel that if you are saving the system thousands of dollars you should be compensated.” The Foundation also assists those who are living with kidney disease with short term financial assistance for groceries, gas, blood pressure machines, or with bursaries for post secondary education, and is supporting innovative research into kidney disease, a lot of which is

happening at the University of Alberta. The Foundation is currently working with Flaman to provide exercise equipment for its dialysis exercise program. “Flaman has supplied a treadmill, a leg press machine plus weights for this program that we want to help grow to all units,” said Robles. “The people are able to use the equipment on their first hour of dialysis.” Robles is a member of a the Kidney Health Strategic Clinical Network which is making systemic changes to kidney health. “I am so excited to be at the table with nephrologists and medical doctors,” said Robles. “One of the things we are looking at is the workup to becoming a kidney donor. If I say I want to be a donor why does it take six to nine months, during which I have to have many tests. We have people who wanted to be kid-

ney donors tell us that it was just too much for them. We want to bring the time down. Some of it is out of our control. It depends on the person, but in most cases the system is broken. It has been patched and patched and it is time that we looked at everything. Our optimal goal is to increase optimal health for all Canadians affected by kidney disease. I am excited about the outcomes that are coming because the whole point of this is result oriented.” Robles said the Foundation is encouraging kidney patients to raise their voice and demand changes. “We are getting the patients to become angry with the fact that, on average, it takes four years to obtain a kidney transplant. It is important to empower them with knowledge so they can take that step forward and create action and change.”

Kidney disease has impacted lives of many people By Dan Jensen

Camrose and area residents had the opportunity to share how their lives have been impacted by kidney disease at the launch of the Kidney Foundation’s Camrose fundraising campaign. Grant Skippen hasn’t had any problems since he received a new kidney six years ago. “I do everything I did normally before, just a little slower,” he said. “I had an interesting thing here not long ago, where I was able to visit with a doctor at the U of A by video. I know that I have to go to see him (in person) every so often, but (doing the consultation by video) was a real thing because going to the city in the winter is a bit of a pain.”

Skippen feels fortunate that he was able to receive a new lease on life. “It is just amazing what happens when you get a kidney,” he said. “After you have experienced dialysis it is really tremendous.” Don Wudel, from Meeting Creek, received a new kidney from his sister after travelling to Wetaskiwin for dialysis. “We (wife Colleen and I) had to campaign pretty hard on our own to get on the campaign list,” he said. “I encourage you, if you are on dialysis, to find out what you have to do and who you have to talk to get on the kidney transplant list.” After receiving his new kidney, Wudel received islet transplant. “I had been an

insulin diabetic for 54 years and that was a reason for my kidney disease,” he said. “Because of my islet transplants I am no longer diabetic and not on insulin.” Wudel applauded everyone who is campaigning on behalf of the Kidney Foundation. “We really need the help,” he said. “We need the research more and more. People are on dialysis with kidney disease and we need to get it stopped. Thanks for your campaigning and thanks for your donations.” Tim Zarski shared that his nephew, Tom (son of Doug Zarski), received a new kidney from his sister, Tina. “Since that transplant he has done exceptionally

well and has had no additional medical problems,” said Zarski. “His immune system isn’t normal as compared to you or I perhaps, but through the medication he remains very active and can continue to lead an active life. When he plays ball he has a brace that he uses to protect his new kidney.” Zarski said there were 100 people, including family members, who volunteered to give their kidney to Tom. “It turned out that Tina was the best fit. She felt very proud that she was able to assist her brother and they remain very close today.” Mike Klug receives dialysis in Wetaskiwin four

times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, but won’t be able to get a new kidney until his heart gets stronger. “It (dialysis) takes a lot of time but I am feeling good after it,” said Klug. “It is maybe for a couple of hours afterward that I am tired, but if I go home and have a nap and a little bite to eat I feel good. I am just living life as much as I can do it.” Klug said his faith is the one thing that is really keeping him going. “I believe in my higher power and I thank Him for being alive every day. He has given me so many chances. I am just happy to be here.”

Brokop tributes Patsy Cline country songs

Your handy directory for area professionals, tradesmen and service Your handy directory for a businesses.

By Murray Green

Popular Canadian country music performer Lisa Brokop is paying tribute to one of the legends in the industry in the best way she knows how – through her music. She will be presenting a tribute entitled The Patsy Cline Project at the Bailey Theatre on Thursday, April 7 at 8 p.m. “I’ve been working on this project for about a year and this is my first extensive tour with it. I will be singing a lot of the classic patsy Cline songs,” said Brokop. “I will be singing the classics, which are also a lot of my favourites. I have a couple of my original songs that I wrote specially for the project that I will be doing.” Known for one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music, Brokop has long been admired for her incredible vocal abilities. “Over the years I have changed directions and tried to come up with ideas of what to do next,” explained Brokop, who has appeared on the Big Valley Jamboree stage as well as the Bailey for a Christmas concert. “I feel that I have come full circle with this project. When I first got started in the business I sang cover songs until I could write enough of my own. I always loved some of those songs and often included them in concerts. I thought it would be cool to go back and sing some of the first songs I ever performed. My brother came up with the idea and I didn’t think much about it at first. Then I thought this could be really fun.” She has spent the last 20 years singing, songwriting and performing as one of the most nominated and awardwinning female vocalists in Canadian country music history. “I love singing this music. I love seeing the reaction from people because it is nostalgic for them and they remember the songs. Some of the audience is older and can remember when the songs first came out. It is a walk down memory lane,” she said. Brokop’s career includes eight studio albums, more than a dozen Top 40 radio hits and certified gold record sales. “I think my voice was made for classic country music, so I love singing it,” she said. “I like the music and I suppose my mother exposed me to it (Patsy Cline songs). It was there and I don’t remember looking for it. It wasn’t until I was researching about her that I really got to know who Patsy Cline was and I discovered that she was quite an amazing lady. There is such a mystery around her and that is

part of the reason she is so intriguing to people.” Brokop has immersed herself in the amazing history and traditions of country music. Inspired by those who played such a significant role in the creation of the genre, and in particular the grand lady of country music, Cline. Brokop lists “She’s Got You” as her favourite song to perform among her long list of classics. “It is fun to sing. It is a country song, but it almost has a jazz feel to it. I call it singer’s music because it has a lot of spaces to catch your breath, which allows you to really perform the song.” She is excited about refreshing memories through the tribute and interpretation of Patsy’s classics in this new presentation. “I love playing at theatres such as the Bailey. They are so intimate and have so much character. Especially for this kind of show, it is the perfect place. Besides, I love coming to Alberta,” she said from B.C. “Alberta is like a second home.” She is welcoming the new challenge. “I’ve never done a show like this, so it is exciting for me. This is different for me because I have a video playing while I’m singing and I have to be in sync with what is playing behind me. I’m enjoying the challenge because I couldn’t just put together music – it is a production. I really have to map it out, research the songs so the right video goes with the right song,” she shared. “It is fun putting it all together.” She has nine stops in her April tour, but 20 more booked for September already. “There seems to be a desire for this kind of show. Maybe down the road I will pick another artist,” said Brokop. “My husband is a big Hank Williams fan and who knows, we may see Hank Williams and Patsy Cline come together for a tour.” Tickets are available at the Bailey Box Office or online at www.baileytheatre. com.

Kucy ready for second trip to Augusta MacKay By Murray Green After a winter of practicing, local golfer Jayla Kucy is set for her return to the Drive Chip and Putt finals at Augusta, Georgia on April 3. She will play on the same course that hosts the Master’s Golf Tournament. “I’m getting really excited to go to Augusta. I can’t wait to hit some balls on nice green grass,” she said. “It is more relaxing this time knowing what to expect and what to do. I won’t be as scared as last year.” Jayla qualified for the finals during the semifinals in Washington State last fall. “I’ve been practicing at the Golf Den in Edmonton, Virtual Golf in Camrose, and at the driving range at Choi’s and I hit some balls at OLMP School,” she shared. “I’ve been practicing my driving, chipping and putting. I have a new driver, so I’ve been practicing driving longer. It’s hard.” The Grade 4 student is competing in the girls’ 10 and 11 category as one of the youngest in her category. She scored 123 points in the drive, chip and putt events to become

the overall champion in the semifinals. “I’m against older girls, so I have to concentrate on getting good drives because others can hit it farther,” she said. Jayla can chip and putt

with the best in any category. “It doesn’t make a difference at all because I golf the best I can and not worry about others. I want to work as hard as I can to get back again next year. I have five

years left, so it would be nice to go five more times,” Jayla said about her future goals. “I’m chipping a lot better this year and putting a little better. I’ve been working really hard on improving my chipping.” Jayla was cautious last year about keeping her drives centred instead of distance. However, she is prepared to go for more distance this time. “With the experience of going last year, I should be able to use more strategy this time. My dad and I counted out steps on each iron, so I know which one to use.” She finished tied for eighth in the North American Championships last year. “I would like to win a medal this time, or finish first in one of the drive, chip and putt categories,” she said. The family is excited to visit Augusta again during Spring Break. In 2014, Jayla qualified in Park City, Utah to earn a trip to the North American championships for the first time. Jayla started entering golf tournaments at age five and won the Alberta Junior Linkster in Red Deer on May 29, 2011.

Firefighters rope in a donation By Lori Larsen

Camrose Fire Department received a donation of $2,200 from Richardson Pioneer Camrose for the purchase of rope rescuing equipment. “Richardson Pioneer requires confined space and high angle rescue,” said deputy chief Joe Mah, “so for the second time they have helped us by donating money towards our rope rescue equipment.” The funds donated were used to purchase two multi purpose devices (MPD), two double pulleys and four anchor slings. “These new devices (MPDs) are very easy to use and innovative in that they allow us to descend and to ascend using the same device (rigging),” explained Mah. “Traditionally we would have to pre-rig and re-rig a primary line to haul (pull up) and descend (lower). “Now it is rigged once with a few minor adjustments and they are good to go.” Derek Ott from Richardson Pioneer reiterated the importance of having this type of equipment available when dealing with high angle rescue for

places like grain elevators and removing victims from possibly 110 feet up. However the equipment would be vital in any high

angle rescue such as cliffs, buildings or high office towers. These new devices allow the rescuer to go up

and down without having to do a lot of rigging which saves time. And saving time is imperative when saving lives.

High jumper Tim MacKay, of Camrose, is on the right track. The Camrose Composite High School athlete is steadily improving during the indoor season as he prepares for the Arcadia Invitational Track and Field Meet near Los Angeles on April 8 and 9. “This is one of the largest and most competitive meets in North America,” said MacKay, a Grade 11 student. “This summer I plan on entering provincials, the Western Midget and Youth Tri Province meet, Alberta Summer Games and the Legion Canadian Youth Championships in Montreal.” He was invited after the word spread that he reached 1.95 metres. “This is the most competitive meet in he United States. Only the top 10 in each event are invited, so I was pretty excited to be included in one of the top groups. You have to meet certain standards and I received a confirmation letter to go.” In 2016, he already has reaped gold in the Golden Bear Open and the Alberta Indoor Track and Field Championships. Considering that MacKay suffered ulcerative colitis that led to surgery and a delay in training in 2015, he has bounced back to focus on his goals. “Tim has fabulous talent and excellent technique in high jump. He is currently ranked in the top three in Canada for his age,” said coach and Athletics Alberta president Linda Blade last fall. However, he has improved since then. MacKay is currently tied for the number one ranking in Canada for his age group. His personal best jump in competition is 1.95 metres that was obtained in the Golden Bear event. He is pushing for the two metre mark for the meet in Los Angeles. MacKay will see how much he improves over the next year and a half to determine if he goes to university in Canada or in the United States. He will be wearing CCHS colours in the meet. The entry fee for the Arcadia event alone is $1,200 plus travel expenses. Training at an elite level is expensive. If you are interested in helping sponsor MacKay contact Mac156@telus.net or phone 780-679-6541.

Vikings earn volleyball conference awards By Murray Green

GODFREY BLAQUE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Singer Jan Nowakowski of Godfrey Blaque sings a classic song at a Fun_raiser event at the Bailey Theatre on March 19. Band members donated their time during the concert to allow the theatre to raise funds

Augustana Vikings women’s volleyball player Morgan Rigelhof has been named 2015-16 rookie of the year by the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. When Rigelhof signed to play with the Augustana Viking Volleyball team last spring she had little understanding of the impact she would have on the lineup. The coaching staff recognized her potential early and named her as one of the team captains. Due to a career ending injury in the second match

of the season to fifth year player and captain, Jill Metrunec, Rigelhof found herself acting as floor captain for the remainder of the year. No easy task for a player fresh out of high school. Rigelhof accepted this expanded role in stride and quickly became a positive force on the floor as well as in the team room. She led by example, working hard to perfect her skill set, and continues to work on her understanding of the game at a higher level. This year she has played in 85 sets, amass-

ing a total of 180 kills, 27 service aces, 212 digs and 12 stuff blocks. Opposing coaches voted her as the ACAC north division rookie of the year. Former Vikings player Keri Alcorn made the allconference team as a member of the King’s University Eagles. In men’s volleyball, Augustana was represented on the ACAC all-conference team by Thomas Regier and Devin Varga. The team finished second in the regular season in the north and advanced to the playoffs.

Kodiaks jump on Okotoks early By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks took advantage of home ice to take a 2-0 lead in the second round series against the Okotoks Oilers in the southern division playoffs of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Nine different goal scorers bent the twine to share the offence in 5-2 and 4-1 victories in EnCana Arena March 19 and 20. Then the Kodiaks held off a late charge from Okotoks to win 5-4 in game three on March 22. Cam Gotaas started the scoring three minutes into the contest. Ethan James and Nelson Gadoury added to the lead that set the tone, even when Okotoks responded with a tally. The Oilers bounced back and played even for the rest of the match. In the second frame, both teams scored with Trevor Costello netting the Camrose marker. Cole McBride scored between two Okotoks goals in the last period. Goalie Patrick Gora made 27 of 31 saves, while the Kodiaks fired 18 at two Oiler goaltenders. “It’s nice to have the wins, but the hard part has yet to come. We have to close it out and we are going into their barn,” said captain Gotaas prior to leaving for Okotoks. “We really have to focus on what we have to do to win the series.” The Kodiaks made adjustments to defeat the Oilers. “We paid more attention to details and the guys are buying in to what has to be done, which is nice to see

and we just have to keep it going,” added Gotaas. “We watched a lot of video on them and they are a good hockey team. In the end, we just need to have everyone going.” After back to back games, the series now moves to a day off between games for the rest of the series. “I’m sure they are now watching the game tape from the last two games and are trying to adapt to what we are doing. We are just going to have to do the same thing and bring our best and try to shut them down again,” said Gotaas. “We like to put as many goals as we can on the board,

but we pride ourselves on defence. We want to keep the puck out of our net and that is the way we want to keep it.” The focus is to allow two or less goals a game to give the Kodiaks a good chance of winning each time out. “Our goal scorers are doing pretty well and they are all going right now. If we keep the puck out of our net, then it is just a matter of getting one more goal than they get,” suggested Gotaas. “We want to be prepared and bring our ‘A’ game.” In the second game, Liam Motley gave Camrose a 1-0 lead in the opening period. McBride and Jake

Dube added second frame tallies to put the Kodiaks up 3-2. Cam Gotaas and Jack Thomas supplied insurance markers in the third. Goalie Gora made 26 saves on 28 shots. Camrose fired 30 shots at the Oilers net. In the opening game of the south division semifinals, Paul Lovsin started the scoring for the Kodiaks. A minute later former Camrose player Danton Davis replied for the Oilers. The rest of the game belonged to the Kodiaks as Ryan Hartman, Mackenzie Bauer and Gadoury added to the lead. Gora had a quiet night with 20 of 21 saves, while Camrose had 24 shots on goal.

Bear facts Brooks eliminated Canmore in four straight games to advance to the south final. They will take on the Kodiaks with the first two games in Brooks. Tickets are on sale for games three and four in Camrose on April 4 and 5 at the Kodiaks office from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday. The box office also opens one hour before game time. Game six, if needed, is in the EnCana on April 10. Tanner MacMaster and the Quinnipiac Bobcats are in the eastern university playoffs.

Vikings hockey team finishes with silver medals By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings hockey team lost two close games in the final series in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference to collect silver medals. In Camrose on March 19 the Vikings lost 3-2 but stayed close with the NAIT Ooks until the end of the game. Pat Thompson-Gale opened the scoring for the Vikings, but NAIT tied the contest before the opening period was finished. The clubs again exchanged tallies in the second with Scott Swiston scoring for Augustana. NAIT netted the only tally in the third frame. Goalie Andy Williams made 39 of 42 saves. The Vikings fired 28 at the NAIT net. Augustana scored with 19 seconds left in the first game of the best of three series in Edmonton March 18 to force overtime.

The Vikings pushed NAIT to two overtime games, one in the regular season and one in the playoffs. Curling The ACAC silver medal winning Augustana men’s curling team went to the national championships at Fanshawe College in London, ON from March 23 to 26.

Gotaas to join Griffins

By Murray Green

Captain Cam Gotaas of the Camrose Kodiaks has committed to MacEwan University in Edmonton for next fall. “Cam came to us as a 17 year old and he has matured into a great young man and a leader,” said coach and general manager Boris Rybalka. “MacEwan is getting a fine young man who will make the players accountable and lead them to their goal of a championship. We knew Cam came from a great family background and he had the right morals, ethics and desire to succeed in hockey and in life.” The Gotaas family has made a big impact in the local community. “I am excited to start my new chapter in my life and hockey career,” said Gotaas. “I look forward to attending MacEwan University and having coach Stephen lead us to a championship in the ACAC (Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference).” In six playoff games, Gotaas has recorded three goals and six points. During the regular season the captain scored 16 goals and collected 53 points. Gotaas scored 49 goals and 127 points in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, all with the Kodiaks.

Ombudsman presentation April 5 By Dan Jensen

Ever wondered what an ombudsman actually does? You’ll have the chance to find out when investigators from the office of the Alberta ombudsman do a public presentation on the second floor of the Camrose Community Centre (4516-54 Street) at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 5. “This presentation is for general awareness,” said Peter Hourihan, who was sworn in as Alberta’s eighth ombudsman in October, 2011 after 35 years of service with the RCMP. “We are not coming because there is a particular issue that is spiking or has come to our attention. There is nothing really in particular that we feel we are going to get in terms of a type of a complaint. We’re simply encouraging the residents of Camrose (and area) to attend so they have a better idea as to what we do.” The presentation will be followed by a full afternoon of consultations during which individuals will be able to share with investigators the treatment they have received from a government department, agency, board, commission, designated professional organization, or the patient concerns resolution process of Alberta Health Services. Anyone wishing to book an appointment with an investigator is encouraged to call 1-888-455-2756. The job of the Alberta ombudsman is to investigate complaints to determine whether a government entity has acted fairly and reasonably, and whether its actions and decisions were consistent with relevant legislation, policies and procedures. The ombudsman is independent from government, provides services free of charge, and

recommends solutions that are fair for both complainant and government. “The complaints we usually get centre around financial benefits for individuals such as Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped, or workers’ compensation,” said Hourihan. “Every Albertan has the right to be treated fairly by the provincial government so we investigate matters of fairness. If someone feels he or she wasn’t treated fairly by the provincial government and has exhausted all the opportunities for review or appeal within the government that they are concerned about, then they can come to our office and we will have a look at their situation to see if they were treated fairly. We are an office of last resort, so we are meant to look at cases after everything else has been exhausted.” The office of the ombudsman does not have any jurisdiction with regard to decisions that are made by the executive branch of government (Bill 6 for example), but is willing to listen to concerns people may have about how the Bill may affect them in the future. “We anticipate that we may be hearing some concerns after the Bill is passed, at which time we will be able to provide information on where we would get involved and when,” said Hourihan. An Alberta ombudsman review of the Student Aid Alberta program led to changes by the provincial government to improve information and transparency regarding the student loan review process. The ombudsman review was triggered by a student inquiry in 2014 about the review process.

In investigating, the ombudsman found there was insufficient information on Alberta Innovation and Advanced Education’s Student Aid Alberta website regarding available avenues of review related to student loan decisions. Student loan award and review decision template letters contained inadequate information about how to access the process and the available next steps in the review process. The problem extended to all public information available to students and their families about what happens when they receive a decision about their student loan funding application. The office of the Alberta ombudsman has been going to Albertans with public presentations and consultations for the last three years, whenever the opportunity presents itself. “We try to hit a couple of communities at a time,” said Hourihan. “The day after we come to Camrose we are going to be in Drumheller. From April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, the office of the ombudsman received 3,252 telephone inquiries and 1,125 written complaints, and opened 133 formal investigation files. “Some of the things we have noticed over the last recent years are the number of complaints that are coming to us in written or online format are on the rise and the oral complaints are declining from time to time,” said Hourihan. “A lot of the oral complaints we receive during the year don’t result in an actual investigation immediately but they may later on after they are submitted in written form.”

Dementia advice available through Alberta Health Link Alberta Health Services (AHS) is introducing specialized dementia advice available through Health Link to help support individuals and caregivers living with dementia, including people with Alzheimer’s disease. The new dementia advice service was introduced for residents who call Health Link from the Central, South and North zones of AHS, and is expected to expand province wide this spring. By dialing 811 – any time, any day – callers will reach Health Link staff who can assess their needs and provide immediate advice for their health concerns. When needed, callers can also be referred to a specialized dementia nurse for additional support. The dementia nurse, who has extensive training and experience in seniors’ health, will be able to do a more in-depth assessment to gain an understanding of each individual situation.

The dementia nurse will provide support and advice to patients and caregivers, and can connect callers to services available in their community. “Strengthening supports for Albertans with dementia through the new 811 service is a tremendous step forward in making sure people with dementia, their families, and their caregivers have muchneeded resources and support available to them,” said Sarah Hoffman, Minister of Health. “Our government is pleased and proud to provide funding for this new service, which means better care is just a phone call away for Albertans whose lives are touched by dementia.” The addition of dementia advice to Health Link has been made possible through a $1.1 million grant from the Government of Alberta. “Providing dementia advice is an important health service both now and looking into the future,”

says Lara Osterreicher, AHS director of operations for Health Link. Currently, about 40,000 Albertans are living with dementia, a syndrome that affects memory, thinking, orientation, judgment and ability to carry out daily activities. The number of dementia cases is expected to more than double in Alberta as the baby boom generation moves into older age. By 2038, it is estimated that about one in 10 Albertans over the age of 65, and nearly half over age 90, will be living with dementia. “We’re starting the service in the rural zones because that is where the greatest need is,” said Osterreicher. “Typically, rural and remote areas don’t have access to the same level of services as our urban centres. Over the next six months, we will evaluate the service and monitor call volumes to make sure it’s meeting the needs of Albertans. We then plan to

expand the implementation of the service to both Calgary and Edmonton.” Health Link has worked with AHS’ Seniors Health Strategic Clinical Network (SCN) to develop and implement this new service. “Dementia usually means a slow decline in mental capacity with associated changes in judgment and sometimes in behavior,” said Dr. Duncan Robertson, senior medical director with the Seniors SCN. “This has a huge impact on the quality of life and well-being of people who live with dementia, as well as their caregivers.” By better supporting individuals and caregivers, the new dementia advice service also aims to reduce the number of avoidable emergency department visits for dementia-related concerns. Tracey Black, AHS area director of Mountain View and Clearwater Counties, says Health Link is filling a gap by providing support services to caregivers and

people with dementia within central Alberta. “Until now, many caregivers and people with dementia struggle to find support or resources to aid in their journey,” said Black, Central Zone’s representative on the working group that helped develop this new service. “With Health Link providing specialized registered nurses to this new service, people will be better able to cope and understand what they are dealing with. Living with dementia can be very difficult; however, with this service, opportunities will be available to possibly stay at home and with their loved ones longer.” Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

RADON: Is it in your home?

Radon is a radioactive gas that ooccurs naturally when uranium iin rock and soil breaks down. It’s iinvisible, odourless and tasteless and it can make its way wa into your home and can accumulate to high levels, which can be a health risk. Today’s energy-efficient homes keep the cold air outside and the warmth inside, but they can also act as a container for radon which has the ability to make its way through foundations and become trapped in homes. Health Canada says it can lead to lung cancer. How do you test to see if radon is in your home? You could go and buy a radon test kit and closely follow the detailed instructions, or you could call Wayne Finley, who has extensive training in the detection of radon and knows what the acceptable levels are. He will conduct a long-term test for a minimum of three months and send the air samples to a lab for analysis. If your test result is above Health Canada’s minimum guidelines, Wayne can recommend ways to reduce the level of radon in your home. Call him today to test your home for this unwanted radioactive gas.

Is it safe to travel?

One could also ask the question – is it safe to go shopping in Edmonton? After all, major malls aare on terrorism watch lists, as are amusementt parks, subway stations, airliners, sports facilities, etc. You could, conceivably, get into a car accident on your way to go shopping in Edmonton. So we suggest that you travel. As travel professionals, we can offer you valuable travel suggestions. We can help you prepare all documentation, inform you of unique customs pertaining to the country you are visiting. We can keep you informed of government notifications and inform you of any rules or regulations of that country that you should know.

Why are Vision Credit Union’s Farm Equipment Operating Lines of Credit so popular?

Our agriculture experts understand the business of farming. We can relate to the risks of everchanging prices and fickle weather. We know about high input costs and empathize with farmer’s low margins. We have developed a unique line of credit for farmers which addresses temporary cash squeeze situations: grain for which there is no current market, remarkable fertilizer and fuel costs, surprise and costly breakdowns, the high cost of upgrading equipment. In retrospect, maybe we should have called it the “Murphy’s Law” line of credit because it’s designed for dealing with the untimely and unexpected! And now for part two of an already really great opportunity: when you have loans or deposits with Vision Credit Union, you are an owner, as well as being a member. So, you will also share in our profits! Annually, for the past 29 years, we have paid attractive dividends to our member-owners. Did your current bank give you back 25% of the interest you gave them over 12 months? In 2015 our members earned their proportionate share of 4.6 million. The average profit shared over the past 5 years was over 26%! Answer provided by:

March 13, 1925 ~ March 19, 2016 Harvey Beck passed away in Camrose, at St. Mary’s Hospital on Saturday, March 19, 2016 at the age of 91. Harvey was predeceased by his wife of 58 years, Lois; son Brian; parents Robert and Annie; brother Eric and sister Gwen. He will be loved and always remembered by his daughter Nadine (Rod) Mumby of Okotoks; his son Rob (Carla) of Camrose; granddaughter Kyla; grandsons Josh and Jon; and great-granddaughter Sloane. Harvey is also survived by other family and friends. Harvey was born in Delia, Alberta on March 13, 1925, the youngest of three children. At two years of age, Harvey traveled aboard ship with his family to live in Pukekohe, New Zealand. Upon returning to Canada, the Becks moved back to the Hand Hills. Harvey worked with his family on the farm, caring for many animals, and making pets of ground owls, deer and coyotes. Harvey attended school in the Hand Hills until drought caused the family to relocate to Clive. In 1939, Harvey and his father drove their herd of cattle on horseback to the Lacombe area on their way to their new home outside of Clive. Harvey began working at a young age. He cleared land, worked in a sawmill, ventured into his own trucking business and, while working in the Clive Creamery, received his Boiler Steam Ticket as well as got to know his future wife Lois Nesbitt, who worked at the General Store. Harvey and Lois were married on September 21, 1947 at Lois’ family home in Clive. Their first son Brian was born in Clive in June 1948. In 1950, the family moved to Stettler where Harvey got a job on the first Gulf Oil rig in the area as a Boiler Man, utilizing the steam ticket that he was able to get while working at the Clive Creamery. Their daughter Nadine was born in Stettler in July 1952. After five years of working different roles on the rig, Harvey transferred to Gulf Pipeline where he remained for 34 years of service. In August 1963, Harvey and Lois welcomed their second son, Robyn. They moved their family to a farm south of Stettler where they began to raise Purebred Polled Hereford cattle. Harvey enjoyed raising cattle for 45 years, taking great pride in showing and selling cattle in Canada and the United States. In 1973, Harvey took a transfer with Gulf Oil to the Camrose area, in time relocating the cattle business to a farm in the East Bittern Lake district. In 1995, Harvey sold his last quarter section of land to Ducks Unlimited Canada with the understanding that the land would always be allocated as a wildlife conservation area. In later years, Harvey enjoyed visiting the land and looking at the Beck’s Legacy Monument. Harvey enjoyed hunting and fishing as a pastime, taking annual hunting trips with family and friends from 1947 until his health no longer allowed him to go. He was an active man his whole life and continued long daily walks in the Camrose valley even after he moved into Deer Meadows. In his later years, Harvey joined friends for morning coffee and visits on a daily basis. As years went on, Alzheimer’s disease made it difficult for Harvey to remember names, but he remained social and was always happy to see family and friends, greeting them with a welcoming smile. Family was very important to Harvey – just talking to him about his grandchildren could cause his face to light up with a smile! Cremation has taken place, and in consideration of Harvey’s wishes, a graveside service for family will be held at a later date. The family would like to express their gratitude for love and support received during this difficult time. If so desired, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Ducks Unlimited Canada, the Alzheimer Society, or to the charity of one’s choice.

Chev Malibu All new and completely restyled for 2016

Tyler Pryor

By Dan Jensen

The all-new and completely re-styled Chev Malibu at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC offers more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever before. “It’s the newest expression of Chevrolet,” said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC dealer principal Will McClellan. The 2016 Malibu has a presence about it, with an exterior appearance that is agile and dynamic, yet refined. The combination of expressive, bold shapes and sculpted surfaces commands attention from all who see it. The wheelbase has been stretched by 101 mm and it is nearly 300 pounds lighter than the previous model. Malibu engineers were able to achieve strong aerodynamic efficiency by paying special attention to the mirrors, headlamps and deck lid. The beautifully sculpted lines give the wind little to hold onto. Interior comfort

Whether your drive takes you across town or across the country, the seats in the all-new Malibu were designed to keep you travelling in comfort. The power eight-way driver’s seat, standard on LT and Premier,

puts you in complete control of positioning. Premier features heated front seats and a heated steering wheel to warm your world when the temperature drops. There are also ventilated front seats to raise your comfort level during the warmest weather. Satin chrome is generously displayed throughout the Malibu cabin to enhance sophistication and virtually eliminate glare. Soft touch components exude an uncommon level of quality. Rear seat legroom is ample enough for the tallest passengers, while rear doors open wide to make entry and exit easier. An acoustic-laminated windshield, a custom dash panel with strategic applications of laminated steel and triple-sealed doors keep the noises of the outside world at bay. Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and front park assist are among the many active safety features that use radar- and camera-based technologies to help you stay ever vigilant of your surroundings. The available Chevrolet MyLink Radio lets you arrange icons and features on the 203 mm (Premier) or

178 mm (LS and LT) diagonal colour touch screen, much like you would with a smartphone or tablet. The screen is tilted up to aid visibility and prevent screen glare. With available Android Auto compatibility, Malibu lets you interact with select smartphone apps. This system takes some of your Android phone’s features and puts them on the available Chevrolet MyLink display in a smart, simple manner. You can access your phone, text messages, music, navigation and more. With available Apple CarPlay you can connect with some of your most used iPhone features, including Maps, Music, Messages and Phone, mirroring your phone right on the available Chevrolet MyLink display. You can even interact with some of your favourite audio apps. Chevrolet is the first and only car company to offer built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi to cars, trucks and crossovers, providing the ability to connect your smart devices and vehicles to the Internet. It offers great signal quality and bandwidth for up to seven devices. Performance

The all-new 1.5 litre

turbo engine, paired with a smooth-shifting six speed automatic transmission, produces 163 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque. Intelligent stop/start technology almost imperceptibly shuts off and starts up the engine in certain situations, helping to save gas and improve efficiency. With fuel consumption ratings of 8.7 litres per 100 km city and 6.3 litres per 100 km highway, this is bound to get your attention. Those who crave exhilaration will not be disappointed with the 250 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque produced by the 2.0 litre Turbo engine. Quick, seamless shifts come courtesy of an all-new eight-speed automatic transmission, the first to ever be offered. An all-new direct-injected 1.8 litre four cylinder engine mated to a two-motor electric drive unit, powers Malibu Hybrid. The drive unit provides additional energy to assist the engine during acceleration for a total of 182 horsepower. An 80 cell 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides electric power to the hybrid system that can propel Malibu Hybrid to speeds over 80 km/h with electricity alone. The gasoline-powered engine

automatically comes on with higher loads, at higher speeds, or to assist in cabin heating. In addition to the drive unit, Malibu Hybrid also features a regenerative braking system which provides energy recovery during braking to help maintain charge. Electric grille shutters enhance aerodynamic efficiency at highway speeds, and Active Noise Cancellation contributes to the impressively quiet ride. The MacPherson strut front suspension delivers a feeling of control while cornering, and the independently-tuned 4-link rear suspension provides all the ride and handling benefits at any speed. Variable-effort Electric Power Steering helps save fuel by using energy only when steering effort is applied. Balancing responsiveness and comfort, EPS feels light but agile, with greater assistance at low speeds and tighter control on the highway. See the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Regardless of the temperature outside, you should avoid vehicle idling. The best way to warm up your engine in the cold is to gently start driving. If you are driving a vehicle that is newer then 1980, then idling should be a thing of the past. Vintage cars did need a bit of time to warm up because the carburetor couldn’t always get the right mix of air and fuel into the engine when it was cold. But carburetors were replaced by fuel injectors starting in the 80s, so unless you drive a car that is more than 30 years old, it’s time to change your bad habit. Modern fuel-injection technology relies on sensors to supply fuel to the engine and these sensors adjust to temperature, so you should only need a maximum of 30 seconds of idling before driving away. Idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel than restarting your engine, and it gets you zero kilometers per litre. Idling to warm up your car simply wastes fuel and increases emissions, which is bad for both the environment and your wallet. If you follow your owner’s manual and use the correct type of oil for your vehicle and climate, there’s no need to worry about cold oil. Modern synthetic motor oil can flow at temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius, so your car should get the oil it needs as soon as you start your car. When your engine is cold, the fuel injectors supply it with more fuel. Idling your engine, therefore, forces it to operate in a very inefficient, fuel-rich mode that can cause excessive engine wear and damage components including the cylinders, spark plugs and exhaust system. A cold engine produces more unburned hydrocarbons. Idling your engine to warm it up releases harmful emissions that have been linked to cancer, diabetes, cognitive degeneration, and heart and lung disease. This is especially dangerous if you idle in your garage. Even with the garage door open you are putting yourself and your family at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Idling your car is completely unnecessary even in the cold. In extreme temperatures, using a block heater or plugging in your vehicle are far better alternatives. Stop idling and make the right choice for your car, wallet, health and environment.

BRCF supports Battle River School auto program The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $900 to the Battle River School Division to support the automotives program at Camrose Composite High School. This grant is from the PJ Bailey Memorial Fund, a donor advised fund which was established by Bob and Val Bailey to honour the memory of their son. As such, each year the Baileys are able to recommend projects that reflect PJ’s interests. This year’s grant from the fund will go towards the purchase of the tool cabinets appearing as the back-drop for the presentation photo shown above. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta which benefit communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $3,900,000 to support community facilities and programs such as this.

Vikings named to all-conference teams By Murray Green

The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference has announced the men’s hockey all-conference teams as selected by the ACAC coaches. Augustana’s leading scorer Connor McLaughlin made the first team after scoring 20 goals and collecting 36 points in 28 regular season games. He scored

four goals and added an assist in the playoffs. Defenceman Tanner Korchinski also made the first team with eight goals and 15 points, while only collecting four penalty minutes. He had a goal and three assists in the playoffs. NAIT goaltender Kenny Cameron, defenceman Jordan Ab, and forwards John Dunbar and

Kevin Carthy rounded out the team. NAIT earned the gold medals and the Vikings collected the silver medals. Alex Rodgers of Augustana was selected to the second team. He scored eight goals and added 20 assists during the regular season. Rodgers earned two goals and two assists in the playoffs.

Sudden car trouble is something no driver wants to experience, but many a driver has been travelling down the highway only to feel his or her vehicle start to sputter. Such sputtering might indicate a car is running low on fuel, or it could be a sign of something more serious that requires motorists to think as quickly and safely as possible. When car trouble strikes while a vehicle is on the road, the first thing many drivers do is check their fuel gauges. A car that runs out of gas is certainly inconvenient, but if you can pull over to the shoulder or make it to the nearest filling station, then this unfortunate situation can be remedied rather easily. But when a car’s tank is full and it is still showing signs of trouble, drivers must take steps to protect themselves, their passengers and their vehicles. The following are a few simple tips motorists should keep in mind so they can safely handle any car trouble that may arise while they are out on the road. Keep a first-aid kit, spare tire and tire jack in the car at all times. Flat tires are no fun, but they are even more of a nuisance when drivers are not prepared to address them. Always keep a jack and spare tire in your car, even if the spare is a donut style you can temporarily use to replace a flat tire until you make it to a filling station or automotive supply store. As an added safety measure, keep a fully stocked first aid kit in your vehicle in case you cut yourself while changing the tire or need to address another medical situation. Visit www.redcross.org for a list of items to include in your automotive emergency kit. Keep a blanket in the trunk as well so your passengers can stay warm should you experience car trouble on a cold day or night. Make note of your surroundings. Some car troubles can only be fixed by the professionals, so pay careful attention to your surround-

ings in case an issue arises and forces you to pull over and call for help. Always pay attention to mile markers and any landmarks that might help you describe where you are. Car troubles can strike at any time and anywhere, so be sure to pay special attention to your surroundings when driving in unfamiliar areas. Pull over. Don’t panic if an issue arises suddenly. Remain calm and pull over onto the shoulder. The right shoulder is the area for pulling over on most roads, but you may also use the left shoulder on multilane highways with medians. Try to get as far away from traffic as possible without driving off of level ground, and always use your signals when pulling onto the shoulder. If the vehicle can’t make it to the median, put your emergency flashers on and get out of the car, moving away from both the vehicle and traffic. Immediately call for emergency roadside assistance, alerting the authorities if need be. Use flares or triangles to alert other drivers. As long as you are not risking your well-being, you can place flares and/or warning triangles behind your vehicle so oncoming traffic knows to drive around it. Place the first flare or triangle 10 feet directly behind the side of the vehicle that is closest to the road. The second should be placed between 30 and 60 feet (increase the distances as the posted speed limit increases) behind the middle of the bumper, while the third flare or triangle should be placed between 120 and 360 feet behind the vehicle’s right side. Stay with the vehicle. Once you have called for help and set up flares or triangles, stay with the vehicle but do so at a safe enough distance so you are not in harm’s way. Sudden car troubles can be scary, but drivers who approach such issues calmly and quickly can reduce their risk for accident or injury.

Camrose Skating Club warps through time Camrose Skating Club held its annual Ice Carnival on March 19 in the EnCana Arena with a warp through time. Performances featured local skaters from age 3 years-old and beyond. Pictured left to right top to bottom. Skaters took to the ice donning their Little House on the Prairie bonnets in a tribute to the late 1800s. No travel through time would be complete without a visit from the dinosaurs and the carnival did not disappoint as tiny t-rexes laced up. Noble knights formed a bridge for fair maidens to pass under paying homage to the medieval era. Egyptian skaters twirled around in a frenzy of gold adornment. The Rusty Blades were a crowd pleaser as they performed to a medley of songs. Cancan girls took centre ice performing a chorus line on skates. A duo of 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dancers had the audience tapping their toes along to the music.

HAND HARVESTED NATURAL CANADIAN SEA SALTS FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND, BC Early in 2011, we set out on the rugged pristine waters on the West Coast of Vancouver Island to harvest our first batch of seawater. Through countless experiments, we developed many delicious recipes of infused flavours, earth and sea spice blends and smoked sea salts. Our lines of products are selected only if they meet our highest standards.

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.

Indigenous day By Lori Larsen Discovering more about the culture of others can be a gratifying experience in that a person can expand their knowledge, understanding and often compassion. The Camrose Public Library invites residents to join them for Indigenous Culture Day held on April 2 from 1 to 3 p.m. and experience culture and tradition. The event was spurred from an idea of Stacey Rempel, University of Alberta Augustana Learning, Advising and Beyond, community service coordinator and Brittany Johnson, a graduate of Augustana and an MA student in the Faculty of Native Studies, U of A. “Augustana has a lot of events they do for First Nation, Métis or other indigenous people to help make them feel inclusive and welcome so we wanted to take it to the Camrose community,” said Rempel. Megan Caldwell, acting aboriginal student advisor came on board to assist with some of the details in preparing for the event. The event will include bannock (a type of simple ingredient quick bread associated with early settlers and

indigenous culture) and tea, smudge (a practice used for healing and energy clearing), Métis finger weaving, an “ask me anything” session on First Nations culture and beliefs, colouring for the young and young at heart, and recognition of Treaty 6. “We really wanted this event to initiate putting some of the truth and reconciliation suggestions into practice within our community. Including recognition of treaty land which is very important. “We also want it to be a fun and enjoyable day,” commented Rempel. In addition to activities, the event will feature a presentation by internationally renowned story teller and best selling author Richard Van Camp from 2 to 3 p.m. Van Camp is a member of the Dogrib (Tlicho) Nation from Fort Smith, NWT. His writings include the novel The Lesser Blessed which was made into a movie and premiered in 2012 at the Toronto International Film Festival, short stories, two children’s books and comic books. Aboriginal Day in Camrose is usually celebrated on June 21 at the Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park.

Vikings earn hoop awards By Murray Green

Spencer Marion of the Augustana Vikings men’s basketball team has been selected as the 2015-16 Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference north division Rookie of the Year. When Marion committed to Augustana, the coaching staff knew that he had skills and potential to contribute immediately. His characteristically humble approach to the game, combined with his confidence, was significant to the Vikings’ relatively young roster. Marion’s strength of character and work ethic allowed him to quickly adapt to his new environment and he began making an impact in every game he played this season. Through 24 regular season games, he collected 161 rebounds to lead the Vikings and averaged approximately 12 points per game. Marion also led the team in blocked shots and started every game for the Vikings. A graduate of Archbishop MacDonald High School in Edmonton, Marion is taking business management as part of his long-range academic vision to enter law school. Equally focused and determined in the classroom and on the court, he is an excellent example of a dedicated student-athlete. Augustana was also represented on the ACAC All-conference team by Cameron Vilcsak. He led his squad in scoring with 332 points in 23 games. Augustana Vikings women’s basketball players Sydney Purdy and Hayley Story were named to the north second All-conference team by the ACAC.
