ASSIGNMENT WRITER

By MLA Bruce Hinkley

I’m very proud to live in a diverse and dynamic riding like WetaskiwinCamrose. Rural Alberta is a great place to live, work and to raise a family. Because we live in the middle of an agricultural area we know how important it is that we protect the watershed and the land.

With vibrant Indigenous communities in our midst, we value the spiritual connection to our land that many people have. Since we live in small towns and cities we know how important the economy and municipal infrastructure is. As an area filled with families, we know how critical it is to provide education and health care.

We know that we’re all in this together.

The government’s Climate Leadership Plan recognizes this. We recognize that we all share the benefits and the costs of sustaining our towns, Indigenous communities and rural areas. Sustainability is the key feature of our plan, and the primary tool we are using to support and encourage sustainability is the carbon levy.

The economics of the carbon levy is simple. The people who pollute pay, but everybody, whether they pollute or not, benefits. Everybody pays a carbon levy on

MLA Bruce Hinkley

the amount of pollution and carbon they emit into the environment.

Everybody benefits, and benefits in more ways than one. Low- and middle-income families will benefit directly by having the full cost of the carbon levy rebated to them in cash. Individuals and businesses will benefit by having the rest of the revenue from the carbon levy reinvested into the economy, supporting jobs in green infrastructure and energy efficiency.

Municipalities and schools and hospitals will benefit, by being able to access financial support for energy efficiency projects.

Finally, the population as a whole benefits due to a cleaner environment, a more diversified economy, and a more resilient and sustain-

able society. This is something we all need.

We understand that some people say that this levy will impact the people who can afford it the least.

That’s not true. Six out of 10 Alberta families will be rebated for the full or a partial amount of the carbon levy they pay. The levy will not be applied to coloured gas for agricultural purposes. This will create jobs, not take them away. It will help preserve our environment and it will stimulate a new sector of the economy.

I’m very proud to support this initiative. I’m also proud of the towns in our area like Wetaskiwin who are leading the way by offering their own Environmental Sustainability Program, and like Camrose, who are actively incorporating environmental considerations into their planning through the Green Space Master Plan. We have other groups and companies that are too numerous to mention who are themselves taking great strides in pushing forward with sustainable initiatives. Our government and the Climate Leadership Plan will support and work with these many initiatives for the benefit of us all.

The 27th annual Leduc to Camrose MS Bike Tour will be cruising through our city on June 11 and 12.

Cyclists raise money to help fight MS, while enjoying the ride to Camrose on the first day. It is one of Canada’s largest MS Bike events. Participants then return to Leduc the next morning.

This year 208 teams and 1,887 cyclists have already signed up for the bike tour and have pledged $818,119.

The tour begins in Nisku

(Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers site) and spans 90 kilometres along scenic prairie roads to the Day 1 finish line at the Camrose Regional Exhibition grounds. Along the way, rest stops with water, snacks, lunch, first aid, washroom facilities and mechanical support will be provided.

After arriving in Camrose, participants enjoy the festivities at the CRE which concludes with a dance.

Cyclists stay overnight at Augustana Campus dorms, a hotel in Camrose,

or camping at the CRE. After a hearty breakfast at the CRE cyclists go another 90 km back to the Ritchie Bros. finish line where they will enjoy a barbecue with other cyclists, volunteers, and supporters.

Create a team by encouraging family, friends, and coworkers to join you or pledge you on your ride at the MS Society of Canada website.

FORT MCMURRAY BARBECUE.

A special Thank You to ATCO Gas, CAM-FM 98.1, Community Home Directory, Prairie Rose Bottled Water, Superstore and Wild Rose Co-op for your generous support and donations.

It was a tremendous success with close to $3,000 being raised for the Canadian Red Cross.

Grade 12 student Alex Kroeger is preparing for postsecondary education by starting a summer business.

Rather than waiting to see if summer positions open up locally, he decided to take matters into his own hands and launch a business of his own.

Kroeger has been granted early acceptance into Capilano University in North Vancouver for their Bachelor of Business degree program.

Kroeger is no stranger to the business world. After two years of operating Detour Longboards, a company that custom built boards for mostly teens, he decided it was time to create a new one.

He recently opened Detour Detailing, a mobile auto detailing business, complete with a website (www. detourdetailing.com), to create a summer job where he gets to be his own boss.

“Mobile means I am willing to pack up everything in the trunk of my car and go to where people have their vehicles. All I need is to have access to power. From start to finish, our service has been designed with efficiency in mind,” explained Kroeger.

“Often people have to drop off the vehicle and leave it for a day and come back for it. That makes your vehicle unusable for the day.”

Depending on the package ordered, Kroeger cleans the inside of the vehicle with a vacuum, takes out stains, uses a leather conditioner and sprays the interior.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Alex Kroeger shines a vehicle tire after launching his summer business. He is raising money to go to business university in the fall.

“On the exterior, I spray the vehicle, use a wash mitt and can wax it by hand. I have a power polisher to get out the scratches and imperfections,” he added. “Most people just want the inside of their vehicle cleaned, or they want it cleaned because they are going to sell it.”

Clean vehicles usually sell for 20 per cent more, or bring in a higher trade-in amount.

Detour Detailing has executive, detour and driving packages available.

His business has several different rates depending on the size of vehicle and how spotless his customers want it.

“The best thing is the vehicle doesn’t have to leave your place. I do everything on site and the vehicle is ready to go in a few hours,” said Kroeger.

He will be polishing vehicles in the Camrose area until about the middle to late August before going back to school. He plans on using the money he makes to put towards his education costs.

Detour Detailing and Kroeger are ready to polish, clean and make your vehicle sparkle this summer. Email alexkroeger@detourdetailing. com or call 780-678-0773 for more details.

REFLECTIONS

by Bonnie Hutchinson Second responders

I had an interesting evening listening to people who volunteered to help at a centre where Fort McMurray evacuees can pick up needed supplies. I also got to hear from people who are working with those on the ground in Fort McMurray as they begin to clean up postfire devastation and restore services that will be needed as evacuees return. *** First, some of the volunteers’ impressions. Their comments reinforced that crises seem to bring out the best and worst of human behaviour.

The best: The volunteers were overwhelmingly impressed with the volume of items that had been donated to assist evacuees. Such generosity. They were also impressed with all the work that went into setting up the place where evacuees could come to pick up things.

Such a lot of work; such a lot of organizing; such a lot of time and expertise given without reserve.

The volunteers also commented on how appreciative nearly all of the evacuees were. They too were overwhelmed and grateful by the way that people they don’t even know, people from across the country, are eager to help them. That doesn’t bring back the evacuees’ homes or possessions, but feeling cared about is helpful in intangible ways.

The worst: A tiny minority of evacuees tried to take more than what was allotted for the number of children and adults in their families. We’ve also read stories of a few fraudulent people who weren’t evacuees trying to get free goods.

The conclusion: the best of people far outweighs the worst. One volunteer was bothered because her irritation at a couple who tried to take more than their share was diminishing her feelings of appreciation for all the good things demonstrated by the helpers and the evacuees.

Though in any situation a few may try to exploit others’ misfortune, the vast majority of people are pre-disposed to help others and to be grateful for others’ help. Some research even suggests that we are hard-wired to want to look after one another. *** Listening to people who are working with those on the ground in Fort McMurray was an eye-opener. I have long been impressed and appreciative of our first responders – the fire, police, ambulance and other professionals who move into dangerous situations to keep the rest of us as safe as possible.

I’ve never before thought much about our “second responders” – the people who move in once a crisis is past to deal with the aftermath.

Since the fire swept through Fort McMurray and even before all the danger was past, some people have been there making it as safe as possible. As the danger diminished, the clean-up began. Listening to people who are directly in contact with those on the ground, I heard that people helping with cleaning up are finding it traumatic in a different way than responding to the crisis itself. The fire may be gone from the city, but the air quality is still bad.

It’s hard to grasp the extent of devastation. It’s surreal to look at a melted vehicle and the charred remains of someone’s home – and then see an untouched toy.

Since Day One, a few people have made it their business to look for pets and see that they are looked after.

Restoring power, water and gas; repairing the hospital so it can be functional; even providing for accommodation and food for those who are working to get portions of the city ready for those returning, all of it is massive work.

Making sure that some grocery stores and gas stations are open is another task.

I’m in awe at the people who know how to figure out what’s needed, and in what order, and then make it happen.

I’m adding “second responders” to my list of people I admire and respect. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

Disrespectful

Over the years the one thing that is missing from many people in this society is respect. It does not matter where you look in society, I see a lot of people being disrespectful.

I also do see the boundaries which we as humans do set up. The more connected we as a society get through channels like Face Book, twitter, public blogs and My space; the harder it gets to darken the lines of these boundaries.

When a person is faced with a situation

where a boundary has been crossed; there is a set of procedures which is proper when approaching that person about the offence.

It is really disrespectful and not wise to publicly advise that person in front of people who do not need to hear that conversation. This causes embarrassment and could cause anxiety to that person.

Now, if the deed is done publicly, then that is an exemption to this privacy rule. Our Prime Minister committed that act of losing control of his temper, it was done publicly and needed to be dealt with publicly. Everything else should be dealt with in private person to person.

Unless that person is a bully, and in that case it is surely that person’s problem.

At the end of the day, always do follow this rule.

“Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.” Follow this rule when in doubt and you will never go wrong.

Lorne Vanderwoude, Camrose

War amps

As a graduate of the War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program and a safety ambassador for the PLAYSAFE Program, I have met kids who have lost limbs in accidents that could have been prevented.

With the weather warming up, it’s a good time to teach kids about the dangers that can come with summer, such as lawn mowers, boat motors and playing around water areas.

Over the past few years, I have given War Amps PLAYSAFE presentations as I believe it is crucial to pass on the safety message and prevent as many accidents as possible. I would encourage parents to take their children on a “safety walk” and point out the dangers in their area.

It only takes a split second for an accident to happen, so let’s all PLAYSAFE! Aleah Negus, Calgary

The minimum bid for this print is $150 with extra for shipping. The end bid-

ding date for this item will be June 8.

CCHS international program benefits everyone

By Lori Larsen Imagine being in a strange country, amidst a different culture, and not being able to speak the language.

Now add to that the stress of being a student away from home.

Camrose Composite High School has offered international students a safe and welcoming environment into which they can integrate. But when the need for a more specific program came about, the English Second Language program developed to assist international students in improving their proficiency in spoken and written English.

Dave McDougall, CCHS drama teacher, explained how the program started.

“Max Lindstrand (past principal of CCHS) approached me because I was teaching drama and international students are often put into drama classes because of the high interaction and because they have to use English.

“The students would come to me with problems and I would try to help solve the problem for them. That is how I started into the English Second Language (ESL) program.”

The vast reach of the program is evident as soon as one enters CCHS and sees the flags hanging in the foyer area, one for each of the countries represented by the international students.

Bob Jonson, learning facilitator at CCHS explained the evolution of the ESL program.

“At one point it was the one year student, maybe through the Rotary or other type of program, coming for the cultural experience. Then in the 90’s there was a shift with students coming from Hong Kong, perhaps for a new start.

“Parents were making a gamble by sending their child away thinking he/she (the student) would have a better chance if/when he/she came back, or maybe have a new

start in Canada. Now families are moving here.”

As a result, the international students were needing more, including preparation for diploma exams. The ESL students began enrolling in other courses within the curriculum, including English, Socials, History and Humanities.

Camrose itself offers these students more than just the cultural experience. Because

Laura Hess, learning facilitator for CCHS remarked on the work McDougall has done to further integrate international students.

“Dave has done a fantastic job of bringing the Canadian cultural aspect to it as well.

“I remember in December he (McDougall) took students downtown to show them what a winter coat was and what they needed, such as mittens, for the winter. He also took

thing because they haven’t got the language or resources to express themselves it is easy to become invisible. This staff doesn’t allow anyone to stand in the shadows and be invisible.”

The fact that CCHS international students come in either by themselves or in small groups makes integration into the regular school population and the community more successful.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster CCHS International Program allows students from around the world to experience the culture of Canada all the while developing English language and other curriculum skills.

From left to right CCHS EA Susan Storvik, international students Hank Han (back row), Rex Truong, Laura Bejarano, Yoshino Tage, Ana Sofia Gala, Jose Juarez Ponce (back) and drama teacher Dave McDougall seated.

of its size, compared to centres such as Edmonton, Calgary or Red Deer, the students are afforded more opportunity to fully integrate, and a closer and safer community.

McDougall referred specifically to the one-on-one support international students are fortunate enough to receive at CCHS in comparison to other ESL programs offered at schools in larger centres, not to mention the lessons that go above and beyond the classroom.

them on short excursions just outside of town to places like Miquelon Lake to see some of the wildlife and really introduce them to Canadian culture and winters.”

Vice-principal Caroline Simonson commented on how integration is an integral part of the international student program at CCHS. “The main thing is we don’t want them (international students) getting lost. If students are silent or not comprehending or not getting some-

“In the larger centres where there are a lot of one type of nationality coming in, they (international students) are not going to integrate as well,” remarked Jonson.

The regular student body at CCHS is also very receptive of the international students and more often than not is intrigued by the diversity they bring to the school.

CCHS English teacher Kim Balay spoke about the benefits international students bring to the classroom.

“They bring a cultural awareness and a kind of a perspective that the Canadian students don’t typically have.”

The benefits reach outside of the school as well.

Host families that offer safe and welcoming homes for the international students also reap the rewards of learning more about different cultures and sharing the wonders of Canadian culture.

The community of Camrose receives international recognition as an open-minded, friendly, safe and welcoming place, a reputation that extends to Canada as well.

“Some of these students make really good ambassadors for our country and our program,” said Simonson.

Being in a foreign country, community and school comes with great challenges, not the least of which is the homesickness.

“Even with Skype and other ways to keep in touch, they are still not at home,” said Jonson.

From hosting a welcome dinner at the beginning of the school year, implementing an international student Educational Assistant position (Susan Storvik), offering everyday life lessons to students and, in some instances, their families, to giving up time outside the class, the group at CCHS is doing everything possible to make that transition easier and ensure these students acquire the skills and tools necessary to learn, integrate and succeed.

“There is a level of investment and commitment that comes from the staff that work with these students,” said Simonson. “They (international students) are far from home and they are alone, but they know they can go to these teachers and be listened to and understood, and that they (the teachers) will work with them.”

Foreign agents

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Composite High School hosted a group of Chinese and Japanese International agents visiting the school to gather information for potential international students on May 26. Pictured left to right certified study abroad counselor Takako Suzuki from Shizuoka, Japan speaks with CCHS international student Shiori Makiya.

By Lori Larsen Battle River School Division welcomed a delegation of international agents from Japan and China to Camrose, May 26.

“The agents are on a tour of Alberta where they are visiting school divisions who have international student programs,” said manager of Cultural and International Programs Battle River School Division Natasha Wilm.

“With the information they receive on their visit, they return to their home countries and promote our province and school divisions to potential students who wish to study abroad.”

During a visit to École Camrose Composite High School the agents heard a presentation highlighting the programs offered through BRSD and recommendations regarding placements in rural areas for international students, were served lunch and treated to a performance by the CCHS Chamber Choir.

The BRSD International Student Program has existed for approximately 10 years with a goal of developing global citizenship skills by allowing BRSD students the opportunity to interact and learn about other cultures from students from other countries.

“The program adds diversity to our schools and allows BRSD students to develop lifelong friendships with students from all over the world,” said Wilm.

I contacted family members and friends, and especially enjoyed reading the stories from her friends about events that happened before I was born. It offered such a unique glimpse at what my mom is like, and also made me reflect on my friendships. I was surprised by the variety of ways her friendships had come about; her best friend from growing up in Pointe Claire, Quebec; university friends; a friend she travelled through Europe with as a young adult; friends she worked with and lived with before marrying; friends made in part through having children of similar ages.

A large majority of my friendships in Camrose have been formed through attending church or mom’s group together, but something funny has been happening lately.

There are often moms that I run into regularly at the playground or grocery store and we will chat about our children and life and then go our separate ways. Later I will think that it would be nice to have their phone number so we could arrange a time to get together. But how do you broach that subject with someone who is really a casual acquaintance? It feels a bit like approaching someone you like at a bar and asking for their phone number - there’s an awkward moment where you aren’t sure your feelings are returned.

I have decided on the straight-forward approach if I have been having a nice chat with someone and think we have friend potential. It goes something like this: “Hey, that was a lot of fun. We should get together again. How about we exchange phone numbers?” I know, very bold, right? So far I haven’t gotten any funny looks and no one has accused me of being a stalker or weirdo. In fact, I met one of my closest friends in Camrose like this a few years ago. We had both been playing with our children at a playground and got into an in-depth conversation. She seemed nice, was kind to her children, and had interesting things to say. After a bit, I said “Hey, that was a lot of fun. And our children seem to really get along too. Let’s exchange phone numbers!” Life is just too short to shy away from such discussions. After all, friendships started from such dubious beginnings can turn out to be the lasting ones.

I’ve also been thinking of friendships I’ve had which haven’t stood the test of time. Sometimes this has happened because of a move, or because of conflicting time schedules. These friendships somehow dissolve on their own, hopefully with no hard feelings on either side. We made friends with a couple when we first moved back to Camrose, and after they later moved out of town, we simply fell out of touch. I think friendships like that are still vital; I was hungry for friendships, and they filled that void until we met more friends.

I also have long-distance friends, who I send Christmas letters to, and the odd email or phone call. These are the kind of friends who, no matter how much time has passed between visits, you can pick up where you left off. I have a good friend who I met at summer camp as a teenager. We reconnected right before her wedding, when I asked if I could bring this guy I had been dating (now husband), and I ended up at her house, meeting her fiancé and helping paint terra cotta pots for party favours.

We have fallen into a comfortable long-distance relationship since they moved across country; as in there are no hurt feelings in the gaps between talks.

I’ve always felt that having four or five truly amazing friendships with people who have your back and you can tell anything to and they will somehow still think you are fantastic, is infinitely better than 15 casual acquaintances.

I don’t think we should try to amass vast numbers of names and phone numbers, but it does take a bit of trial and error to connect with truly terrific friends - the kind who will fill your future scrapbooks with wonderful memories.

A cadet with 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps and the president of the 3068 South Alberta Light Horse Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps support group were honoured at the Army Cadet League of Canada (Alberta branch) annual general meeting luncheon held at the end of February.

The Camrose personnel were honoured along with other army cadets and worthy volunteers from across the province.

Cadet chief warrant officer Adam Clarkson was chosen as the honour cadet for Northeast Zone. Clarkson is in his sixth year of the army cadet program.

During that time he has been chosen as the top cadet in his platoon for the basic drill and ceremonial course at Vernon Cadet Summer Training Center, as well as for the drill and ceremonial instructor course held at the same location. This past summer he was chosen to participate in a 10-day canoeing expedition on the Yukon River, and recently he was chosen to participate in a European battlefield tour with members of the South Alberta Light Horse Regimental Association. The highest ranking cadet at the corps, his leadership and guidance of his subordinates has brought discipline to the unit, as well as a sense of pride and prestige in being a member of the Army Cadets, 3068 and the South Alberta Light Horse family. He is looked up to as a role model by his peers, and well respected by his superiors for his hard work, dedication and professionalism.

unit support group, was also recognized for her volunteer efforts with the corps. She assumed the position of support group president midway through her son’s first year in the program, and was immediately charged with raising approximately $20,000.

She set forth on this task, utilizing the members of the support group, and put in countless hours contacting service organizations, businesses and media in an effort to attain her goal.

She revived the corps’ main fundraiser, its dinner and auction, by introducing live entertainment (Alberta country music recording star Adam Gregory, East Coast Music Award nominee Rik Reese). In her second year as president, she was presented with the additional fundraising burden of sending the army cadets on a trip to Victo-

ria, BC, with the 56 Nootka (Holden) Sea Cadets. Kim eagerly took on the challenge of fundraising the additional $12,000 required for the trip, despite the corps having record low numbers of enrolled members, and reduced involvement in the support group.

At present, Kim is working hard fundraising to assist four members of 3068 in participating in a European battlefield tour with the South Alberta Light Horse Regimental Association, on top of the corps’ regular fundraising endeavours, including its 2016 dinner and auction featuring the band Northern Comfort. All of this hard work and effort by Kim is on top of holding down a day job and being a single parent to two children. Her hard work and dedication to the army cadets has been greatly appreciated by the all involved in the program!

The Army Cadet League of Canada (Alberta Branch) provides guidance and direction to the army cadet program from a civilian perspective. It assists local sponsors in establishing operational parameters with regards to insurance, policies and fundraising. It also provides bursaries to deserving cadets, amongst a variety of awards and recognition to cadets, officers and volunteers alike.

The army cadet program in Camrose is sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #57. It meets weekly on Tuesday evenings from 6:15 to 9:15 p.m., September through June at the Camrose Community Centre.

Lougheed Centre set to announce upcoming acts

By Murray Green

The fall and spring entertainment line-up at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre will be announced during a Season Launch celebration on Wednesday, June 8.

Community members will be able to take tours of the facility, view video clips of the upcoming shows and listen to the high energy Celtic rock sounds of the Derina Harvey Band.

“This is a free event, open to the public. Community tours begin at 6 p.m. and a lot of people tell us they still want a tour of the building,” said Nick Beach, acting general manager of the Lougheed Centre. “At 7 p.m. we will be showing sneak peek video trailers of each of the artists, so everyone can get a chance to see why we chose the artists we did. If it is an artist you don’t recognize, you will see and listen to why we booked them. Some people said they came here last year wanting to buy tickets to three or four shows and wound up taking eight because the shows were so good.”

Beach will be on stage to talk about why he selected certain acts to bring to Camrose. “I feel very passionate about who we picked and why we think it is important to bring these people to Camrose. People have asked to hear it from me and what went into the thought process.”

Bringing in good acts that normally only stop in Edmonton or Calgary has been the key to the Lougheed Centre’s success.

“We started by focusing on high quality Canadian artists,” said Tanya Pattullo, patron services manager.

“We made a conscious effort to support Canadian artists because in 2017 it is Canada’s 150th anniversary,” added Beach. “There are so many great artists in Canada that there Jim Witter is no reason not to focus on Canadians.”

When the opportunity came to bring in the five-piece Newfoundland-style Celtic rock band led by fearless frontwomen Derina Harvey, the choice was easy.

“When I first heard them I wanted to get up and dance.

We added them to the season after the fact, as well as at the launch. Instead of having a sneak peek trailer of them they agreed to perform at our Season Launch. To have a band play a set as a sneak peek of what to expect during the season provides a real taste of her cabaret style show on Saturday, Oct. 8,” explained Beach. “We are going to have a dance floor and bar on stage, so seating will be limited to 184.”

The band’s infectious rhythmic undertow is layered with rock guitar, dizzying fiddle riffs and topped off by Derina’s powerful sailer-style voice of east coast musicians.

“As soon as people hear them, we expect the show to be sold out that night. In order to have a dance floor, everything will be reversed. The audience will be looking out facing the normal seating area (the band will be on top of the orchestra pit) with a dance floor in front of them. We are trying something new and it is all because of these artists we found that require more of a bar setting,” said Beach.

After the show the evening will conclude with cake and coffee in the lobby.

People will be able to subscribe to the regular season, pick six tickets and the three different series during the evening.

“I’m expecting a good turnout at the Season Launch because people want to see what is coming up this year and to make sure they have tickets. Last year’s season ticket holders have the first option of receiving the same seats as they had before.”

Some of the upcoming acts include Steven Page of the Bare Naked Ladies, Terri Clark, Tenore with special guest Sangkor of the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, The Nutcracker, Jim Witter and Brent Butt.

St. Mary’s Hospital receives Mission award

By Murray Green

If you ever end up on the operating room (OR) table at Covenant Health St. Mary’s Hospital Camrose, you can rest easy knowing that you are in good hands.

“Once you get a taste of working in the OR, you tend to love it and want to stay,” said RN Gail Streberg. “I started at St. Mary’s, moved around when I got married and returned about 12 years ago. You feel part of a team and everyone works together all of the time. You spend a lot of time together and you become part of a larger family here at St. Mary’s. I like the middle size hospital because you get to do a lot of things and it’s not a huge centre.”

Nurse Erin Olsen joined Camrose after the Daysland Hospital she was at no longer delivered babies and she missed the OR atmosphere.

“I wanted to try the OR and receive more education, so went to St. Mary’s.”

Nurse Taylor Volk liked the OR right from the start.

“I gained some experience in university training and I just love the team atmosphere,” added Volk. “You get to see the immediate results of what you are doing for the patient.

When an opportunity came for a job, I took it. It was an amazing opportunity and I too love the team environment.”

Volk wanted to go to a smaller hospital so she could learn a wide variety of surgeries. “There has never been a day when I didn’t want to come to work. You work with great people every day, which makes coming to work so much easier.”

The Operating Room Team at St. Mary’s Hospital is committed to being good stewards of the supplies they use, the environment and themselves. They have implemented processes to limit the amount of waste of surgical supplies, increase

their recycling and developing themselves and each other.

Covenant Health has recognized this commitment with the 2016 Mission Award for Stewardship.

“We have fun together and outside of work as well.

We celebrate birthdays, have showers (wedding or baby) and join events together,” said Streberg.

A lot of work goes into preparing patients before they even arrive in the operating room. “We check in patients, ask them questions and then scrub to make sure we are sterile when handling instruments. We lay out the instruments, so if the surgeon asks for something, we can find them easily,” said Volk.

The Covenant Health Mission Awards recognize staff, physicians and volunteers across Covenant Health facilities in Alberta who are

outstanding examples of people who live Covenant Health’s mission in all they do. Every year there are six award recipients representing Covenant Health’s values: compassion, respect, collaboration, social justice, integrity and stewardship.

“We have a great team manager in Paige (Bailey) and she doesn’t always get the credit she deserves. She is very humble, but she is amazing,” said Streberg.

The operating room always strives for excellence.

“One of the values at St. Mary’s is stewardship, so I wrote a submission on behalf of the team to indicate that we are stewards of our resources and of ourselves,” said Bailey.

“We pass on knowledge to new people. We find it hard to recruit in a rural area, so when we hire people we send them to a perioperative

course and they return to us for on-the-job training from our staff and physicians.”

Eight submissions were received for stewardship, but St. Mary’s ended up with the most praise. “We felt really honoured to receive the

award. We weren’t expecting it and it is good to be recognized because we are a smaller site,” said Bailey, who has worked at St. Mary’s for 12 years, the last two as OR manager. “The award has been presented to St. Mary’s Hospital three out of the last five years. It boosts morale and everyone feels part of it.

Someone took notice of the hard work we do. The common goal is to take care of the patient.”

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Sunail Kumar enjoys helping people feel better about themselves. “It is very rewarding.

Sometimes people come with crutches and wheelchairs and when they can walk again it makes them feel so much better.”

He performs mostly knee and hip replacements. “We are unique in a smaller site to be able to do most of the surgeries here. It is rewarding to see people make full recoveries. We have an excellent team here. Our manager used to work in the OR, so she knows how exactly things run. She still comes in sometimes and helps us. We try to educate the patients to eliminate the fear patients can have, so that helps a lot because they are well informed.”

Words do matter

By Arnold Malone

We abstract reality through language and language is a major medium for thinking. Language is to everything as a map is to the territory.

Giving directions by describing every pebble, tree, blade of grass, fence post and structure so obviously confuses that nothing could ever be understood. A map with a few dots and some lines filters away the extraneous stuff and allows us to know where we are going. The map removes the unwanted.

Language Language is the same. It dismisses all that is irrelevant and focuses on what we choose to communicate, as such, language works like a map for understanding.

Language leaves out most of what is observed and communicates only the tiny portion we wish to share. In a nanosecond we observe an enormous flood of information and by words we restrict those observations to a comprehensible message However, choosing the right words is just as important as choosing where we place the dots and lines on a map.

Importantly, research has established that we change our language before we change our behavior.

That was what much of the 1970s was about when we were searching for words to neutralize male gender dominance as our society tried to move towards gender equality.

Here is another challenge. There was a time, in my lifetime, when politicians referred to the population as “Citizens or Fellow Canadians.” Somehow, unfortunately, we the people are now referred to as the “taxpayers.” It is common to hear a political person say something like, “The taxpayers will be upset by this program. I can tell you with certainty, the taxpayers will never stand for this,” or, “This initiative is designed for the good of all taxpayers.”

Positive citizens The word citizen is positive. A citizen is understood to be a participant and a partner in nation building. Citizens are involved persons who can care for and advance their community, province and nation. Citizens can be a builders; they are persons who can make things better.

The reference taxpayer provides a different connotation. Paying taxes to a government assumes the government is the engine of action. That it is the government who is the builder, who plans, who executes, while taxpayer sounds like we are only the fuel that allows a government to operate.

Politicians in all parties speak of taxpayers and ponder their reaction. We would be better off if we were referred to as citizens. The word citizen demands a higher level of respect. It also removes the thought that the purpose of the nation’s people is to be there to get their taxes paid.

Today the taxpayer reference is frequently used across varied democracies.

Citizens are owners and partners who work individually and collectively to advance their goals. As owners in a democratic nation they ought not be mere subjects from which money is extracted.

Citizens are the building blocks for a nation while taxpayers seem more like the surfs that were the props for Kings in a time long ago.

The very concept of democracy is an outgrowth of citizen activity.

Foundation Democracy could not exist without the participation of citizens. Citizens are the foundation upon which a democracy exists.

A democracy demands citizen involvement. It can’t be otherwise. Taxpaying is a thing that citizens do but citizens are far more than just taxpayers. It would be advantageous if politicians started referring to we builders as citizens and quit degrading our status to a single responsibility.

Planting trees for a greener city

By Lori Larsen Did you know one large tree can supply a day’s worth of oxygen for four people? Not to mention trees absorb carbon dioxide and other potentially harmful gasses from our air. They also provide habitat for many species of birds and other animals and create an esthetically pleasing environment.

On May 25 the Cub Scouts, in conjunction with The Wildlife Stewardship Society and the City of Camrose, began a tree planting initiative along Camrose Drive in

celebration of Arbor Day and as an effort to make Camrose a healthier and greener city.

On May 26 residents were invited to continue planting trees as part of the Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship summer program.

“In this outdoor event we planted trees along Camrose Drive for Arbor Day,” said City of Camrose wildlife and greenspace stewardship coordinator Katherine Rogers.

“This is a part of the City of Camrose’s naturalization project.

“This will have results

that last for lifetimes,” commented Rogers. “By planting trees you will be helping to “naturalize” Camrose and will be creating an environment that humans and wildlife will be able to appreciate for many years.”

In total approximately 200 trees were planted during the week.

Asking the beautiful questions in life

By Caroline Simonson, Vice Principal

Before I start I want to acknowledge the members of our administration team, who did so much to assist you as you grew through your learning and the opportunities that have been afforded to you.

I want to extend greetings to board representative Norm Erickson and superintendent Rita Marler for joining us on this wonderful occasion.

I want to express my thanks to the graduating committee for the invitation to share a few thoughts on your theme, The World Awaits.

You have been so lucky to be a part of ECCHS. Ours is a school of excellence, versatility-a community filled with wonderful people who have a lot of compassion and interest in you. In our building you have been exposed to some of the best programs afforded in a community of our size. I am speaking of art, fashion, com-tech, sciences, cosmetology, automotives, construction, Rap, yearbook, financial management courses, media studies, Fact and the list goes on...and you have enjoyed a remarkable array of teachers who have endeavoured to invest themselves in you, because they believed that you are worth their time and commitment. Our teachers, EA’s and wonderful support staff have done so much for all of you.

So here we are. The World Awaits. So the question is “what exactly is waiting for you there?” If this was being answered by your parents they would say mortgage payments, stress, bad jobs,etc.

But this evening isn’t about your parents; it’s about you. The calibre of your questions will say a lot about the information you are seeking as you commence your journey.

Here is an example of a not so good question. “Do you want fries with that?” (Of course I do). “When was the war of 1812?” 1812. “If you

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Vice Principal Caroline Simonson delivered a thoughtful speech at the CCHS graduation ceremony.

try to fail and succeed which have you done?

The questions you are asking reveal a lot about the kind of person you are going to be in the world.

A poem by E.E. Cumming says it perfectly. “Always the beautiful answer who asks a more beautiful question.”

What are the beautiful questions we must ask ourselves and others?

I want to give you a story of something that happened at our high school that emphasizes this idea. I am going to change a few of the details to not make the person obvious; I am going to call the hero of this story Ann. Ann met a mother in our community who was facing some real challenges. I am going to call the woman Ann met, Cindy.

Cindy met Ann, and Ann sensed immediately that Cindy was worn down by life.

It turned out that Cindy, a single parent trying to begin a new life, had no money.

Her children only had the clothes they were wearing.

Ann began to ask the more beautiful questions because she has a warm heart and extended sense of caring for others. The information Cindy shared was a result of Ann having the insight to see other people’s suffering and instead of saying “ have a nice day” she went deeper. She got beyond the superficial.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster River Kelly and Shadi Labbaf pay tribute to the staff of CCHS during the graduation ceremonies.

“Do you have food? What do your children need?”

Because of Ann’s questions, our local food bank got groceries for Cindy’s family, Ann secured clothing donations and Ann got others in the community to spring into action to help Cindy. Why? She got it. Ann took time to ask more than an empty “How are you?”

Whether we like it or not, this week we have had to ask some hard questions of our own community. We have had the tragedy of knowing how fragile and fleeting our lives can be. The fires of Fort McMurray showed us how swift hardship can come, but it also showed us who we really are when we ask the more beautiful question.

In this I need to acknowledge our student leadership team. Our students union mobilized and asked, “How can we help? What are the needs of the people who have lost homes and a sense of community and family?”

Students of our campus supported and organized a hotdog fundraiser, they worked with staff to coordinate a loose change campaign. They didn’t sit still and say…oh that is terrible, oh well, back to my cheese pizza. Better get back to watching another episode of Big Bang Theory.”

No they did something.

The questions asked by our students union and staff allowed us to become heroes for others in need. It is not only Fort McMurray that is going to benefit. We have benefitted because our sense of compassion and humaneness has also been revealed.

Always ask yourself the more beautiful question. You are going to meet people who are filled with personal magic, but if you don’t ask them anything about who they are, you will never know that you stand in the presence of greatness.

“What can I learn from this person?” “How can I help this person?” The world that will wait for you, will be deeper and more fulfilled if you have a better agenda than asking empty questions that neither build community or connection.

Another element to having a more meaningful life involves a line by Emily Dickinson in her poem “I dwell in possibility.”

In life we find ourselves dealing with circumstances that we have not necessarily chosen.

Sometimes the lives we long for are not always possible. We mourn the things that are not ours and may never be ours. Instead of dreaming and dwelling on the possible we fixate on the impossible.

We like to think that we make our own destiny. We like to think our lives are completely under our control.

But that is not true. There is a lot about life we can never control.

I will illustrate this for you. No one chooses poverty, no one chooses serious illness no one chooses to be born into a broken family of arguments and hatred.

When we understand that in life there are things that we will never be able to fully control, it enables us to extend our efforts to those things that we can control.

To dwell on the impossible narrows the richness of our imagination our intellectual power and our own creativity to take life on its terms without mirage or escapism.

When we are free from false illusions, that is when we dwell in a world possibility.

If my abilities are here and my goal is here I am creating failure, not success for myself.

Some of you tonight think: “I am going to be a millionaire by the time I am 40”; “I am facing bankruptcy”; “I am going to meet him/her and live happily ever afterdivorce”, “I hope I have a healthy child”; “My child is not well. My child has struggles.”

I need to tell you the story of a friend of mine who really has struggled with living in the world of what is possible.

She had a two-year-old child. This child had serious challenges when he was little.

She would try to give him a bath. He would scream and cry. He hated the feel of water touching his skin.

She would try to hug him and he would resist and punch her. He was not able to look at anyone. She got him the best doctors and a lot of medical tests.

Making it worse, the doctors came to the conclusion that it was a lack of her parenting skills. It took almost three years before the formal diagnosis was made that her child had a very severe form of autism.

I asked her what the struggle had done to her family and she replied, “You know, Caroline, I thought my life was going to go to one destination. Turned out it was going somewhere else.”

Her comment said it all, what she thought it was going to look like, wasn’t there.

Now that she knows what the real challenge is, she has changed everything she can to make her little boy’s life possible. She no longer dwells on the impossible.

She knows he will not have a typical education, she knows there will be boundaries facing both of them but that does mean his life and hers has no meaning? And now her life is more possible. She has invested money, time and resources to advocate for children with disabilities and learning challenges. She organized a special parents group for advocacy for children with autism.

All of this came when her life seemed impossible. She made it possible by changing her perspective.

So many times in life we want to write the script the way we want.

When you live with the possible world, you can say “here I am” and take life on its terms. Dwelling in the possible allows you to face challenges for what they are without bitterness anger or resentment.

Try to make sure though that what is possible is not just doing what is easy. The other thing I want to mention briefly is that our world is really sculpted by an addiction to excess and to materialism. Make your life possible by seeing who you are in the world. Be honest with yourselves.

Materialism is fine as long as the physical things you are anxious to accumulate are being used in constructive ways.

Money is neither good nor bad, what you do with it does give it its true value.

Ultimately, the world that is possible will be most fulfilling if you begin to understand that you are not your trophies. You are not the things you own.

At the end of the day when one is on their deathbed here is what no one will ever say...“I really should have bought those matching curtains to go along with my bedspread.”

In retirement homes there are no expensive works of art, no cadillacs or Italian leather furniture sets.

You know what is cherished there? Photo albums. Letters. Rich memories of lives that have hopefully been well lived.

The only real regret I hear is when people say, I wished I had loved and enjoyed my life a bit more.

So in conclusion…the world awaits. What waits?

What I hope waits for you, is a world filled with depth.

I hope what waits for you are words like joy, love, friendship, challenge, possibility, courage, discovery and life.

The world awaits you.

The world awaits the gift that only you can contribute to it.

Get out there – relish it and love it!

Hospital not always the right place Continued from page 17

Enter the care team who, as Krista explains, “oversee a person’s progress and begin preparations for a move to an appropriate care facility.” On the team are the Discharge Planner; Home Care Coordinator; Nutritionist; respiratory, occupational, and physiotherapist; and the Chaplain. Krista communicates with the doctors.

She also visits each bedside to talk with patients about their care plan.

“And to try to brighten their day a bit.” “ Together,” said Krista, “the team looks at every aspect of the patient’s care.” How is the person doing? Where are there improvements?

What are the barriers to being discharged? What preparations can be made before the doctor signs off? “We’re really trying to look for the best caresolution for the person, for a family’s loved one,” said Krista. “We do this as a team. We can’t give instant answers. It takes time. There are many people involved, and a lot of paperwork. We try to focus on the family, too. They are part of the team. They don’t need to be afraid to ask their questions.”

“It’s hard for families,” says Tara Jones, an LPN at St. Mary’s Hospital with a background of work caring for seniors. “They have their jobs and their own families.” The patient, however, has left behind their daily routines and people they know. “The hospital can be a lonely place for seniors, so it’s important their families spend time with them.”

“None of the patients really wants to be here,” said Tara. Most haven’t been here before. For some it’s the worst time in their lives. So I try to find time for short chats and ways to make things a little brighter for them.

“We feel badly,” said Krista, when we can’t place them where they want to be. And when people feel they’re in limbo because we aren’t able to get a placement right away.” At the same time, she adds, “you get such a high when, finally, all the pieces are in place and you have helped someone get the right care.”

Donald Earl Waterston January 18, 1927 ~ May 23, 2016 Donald Earl Waterston was born in Camrose, Alberta on January 18, 1927, the only child of Robert and Anna Waterston.

Donald lived with his parents on a farm two miles northeast of Camrose until he was six years old. In 1933, they moved to their present day farm and rented until they purchased the land in 1936. He attended Baldenstein School for nine years and took three years of high school in Camrose.

In 1950, he met Betty. Together, they built their present-day home, working on the house whenever they were not out helping their parents farm. They were married on June 26, 1953. To this marriage, Trudy Marie was born in 1955, and Rodney Roben was born in 1960.

Donald farmed up until two years ago, when health would not let him continue to do so.

Donald didn’t have brothers and sisters, so his cousins were an important part of his life. He always looked forward to the Waterston Picnic and Christmas.

Donald’s farm was his life, and he had a soft spot for his animals, coaxing the new calves to come up for a pet or a scratch, or getting the dog to chase a “dirty bird”. He was an active member of the Camrose Fish and Game Association. He looked forward to the big game hunting trips with Cal and Gordon and going fishing up north. For Donald and Betty’s 50th anniversary, they took an Alaskan excursion, which brought them many memories that they loved to share. Donald will be remembered for his quick wit and sense of humour. Even in his hospital bed, he had his visitors laughing.

Donald is survived by his wife of 62 years, Betty; his daughter Trudy (Maynard) Neufeld; his son Rodney (Kim); three grandsons; three granddaughters; and three great-grandsons.

He was predeceased by his parents Robert and Anna; infant daughter Betty Ann; and great-granddaughter Zoe Luck.

A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 28, 2016 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

Calvin, loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, passed away on May 24, 2016 in Daysland Hospital at the age of 79.

On January 10, 1937, Calvin was born on a farm north of Strome. He was the first of eight children born to Mathew and Helena Thomas. He was followed by Beatrice (Bruno) Bagdon, Bernice (William) Stern, Bernedine (Eugene) Kohlman, Earl Thomas, Edward (Margaret) Thomas, Bernard (Janet) Thomas and Barbara (Donald) Dreger.

On November 4, 1961, Calvin married Joyce Sunderman of Heisler. They had four children: Brenda Thomas, Deanna Horton, Kevin Thomas and Trevor (Jennifer) Thomas. From these four children came 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Calvin and Joyce lived in Bawlf for eight years after being married where they had their first three children. Then they moved to an acreage half a mile west of the Spring Lake Church. While living there, their last child was born. In 1975, they moved to a farm six miles east of Heisler, where they lived until moving to Daysland in 1989.

After moving into Daysland, Calvin found a new love: golf.

He continued to enjoy this sport until he was unable to play just a short month ago. Calvin was also an avid skater. In the wintertime, you could find him down at the arena every morning going for a skate.

Calvin was predeceased by his wife Joyce Thomas; his parents Mathew and Helena Thomas; Edward Thomas (brother); William Stern (brother-in-law); William and Margaret Sunderman (in-laws); Sylvester Sunderman (brother-in-law); and Elmer Horton (son-in-law).

Collisions were down in 2015

By Dan Jensen

The number of private, property and on highway traffic collisions decreased by six per cent to 666 accidents last year according to the 2015 Camrose Police Service traffic analysis.

Twenty-four of the collisions involved injuries, 106 resulted in property damage under $2,000 and 560 resulted in property damage over $2,000.

“One possible factor in the decrease in collisions could be attributed to the relatively warm winter,” said Const. Adam Belanger.

The number of collisions involving injuries was down from 41 in 2014.

“Active strategies such as enforcement, roving patrols, CheckStops and the Curb the Danger program are presently in place as deterrents to reduce these types of collisions,” said Belanger.

The number of collisions involving pedestrians was 10 in 2015, up from six in 2014, while the number of collisions involving bicycles and motorcycles was five and four respectively.

“The total number of bicycle collisions has stayed fairly consistent during the last five year period,” said Belanger. “In 2012, a bicycle safety program was implemented by the school resource officer, crime prevention officer and traffic members to educate young cyclists on the rules of the road and traffic safety tips. The program has continued to be offered in various Camrose schools in a classroom setting.

The Camrose Police Service was also a partner in the Public Health Bicycle Safety Rodeo and played an active role in educating young riders with bicycle safety rules.”

The number of hit and run collisions that occurred on both private property and on highways decreased from 182 in 2014 to 159 in 2015.

“In 2014, there were 182 hit and run collisions, however there were 712 total collisions, which correlates to 26 per cent of the total collisions reported to police,” said Belanger. “It is important to note that although the number of hit and run collisions has decreased, the percentages have remained consistent.”

Breakdown Thirty three of the collisions involved drivers between the ages of 14 and 17, compared to 29 between the ages of 18 and 20, 88 between the ages of 21 and 30, 78 between the ages of 31 and 40, 79 between the ages of 41 and 50, 81 between the ages of 51 and 60, 77 between the ages of

Defensive driving techniques No driver wants to make roads less safe, and many may just need to reacquaint themselves with the following defensive driving techniques they learned way back when they first started driving as teenagers.

Avoid distractions

When getting behind the wheel, keep your stereo speakers low and turn off all of your devices so you aren’t tempted to check emails or text messages while driving.

Don’t be in such a hurry

Camrose Police Service Const. Adam Belanger reminds no texting while driving.

61 and 70, and 56 between the ages of 71 and 80.

January was the busiest month for collisions, with 74, followed by February with 60, May, October and November with 57, and March with 56.

The day of the week with the most collisions was Thursday, at 116, followed by Tuesday at 114 and Friday at 112.

Sixty-five occurred at 3 p.m., while 62 occurred at noon.

“The five year trend displays the pattern that a collision is more likely to occur between 12 and 3 p.m.,” said Belanger.

Backing proved to be the primary cause of collision, followed by lane violations, following too close, turn violations, speeding, careless driving, failing to proceed safely after stopping, animal, parking violations, and road sign violations.

“Lane violations range from swerving in your lane and drifting out of your designated driving lane to unsafe lane changes,” said Belanger. “This is reflective of not paying proper attention when driving, whether it is distracted driving or another such distraction. Lane violations are an increasing trend.”

Road conditions (slush, snow and ice, loose surface materials, wet and muddy surfaces) were a factor in 200 of the collisions, while weather conditions (rain, snow, hail or sleet and fog) were a factor in 53.

Of the 382 collisions that occurred on-highway, 189 of them happened at

intersections. The top four intersections at which a collision was most likely to occur were 68 Street and 48 Avenue (22), 53 Street and 48 Avenue (nine), Grand Drive and 48 Avenue (nine) and 51 Street and 48 Avenue (eight).

Moving violations dropped marginally to 8,961 in 2015 from 9,087 in 2014. Non-moving violations decreased by ten per cent to 671 while parking violations were noted to decrease by 36 per cent to 56.

The number of impaired driving charges was 52, compared to 57 in 2014 and 81 in 2013.

“The Camrose Police Service continues to work diligently with our police partners in curbing the number of impaired drivers on our streets,” said Belanger. “We participated in two joint operation enhanced CheckStops with the Wetaskiwin Integrated Traffic Unit as well as hosting that same unit during our annual Big Valley Jamboree.”

The Curb the Danger program received 187 calls, down from 285 the year before. Out of those reported calls, a total of 89 vehicles (47.6 per cent) were intercepted by police.

“Evaluation of this program shows the highest call volume for possible reported impaired drivers is between the times of 9 p.m. and midnight,” said Belanger. “The effectiveness of this program has been very successful.”

Plans for 2016 The Camrose Police

Service in partnership with the Alberta Occupant Restraint Program will again be targeting those who choose not to wear their seatbelts.

“The Provincial Selective Traffic Enforcement Program identifies March and October as occupant restraint month,” said Belanger. “Seatbelt safety stops will be targeted specifically in those months.”

The Service will also be looking for distracted drivers. “Our statistics prove that the fine increase from $172 to $287 with no demerits did not stem the growing trend of distracted driving on our roadways,” said Belanger. “On Jan. 1, the Alberta Government added three demerit points to the $287 fine for distracted driving. The Camrose Police Service will continue to track the number of distracted driving tickets issued by our members in 2016 to see if the addition of the demerit points will help stem this alarming trend.”

The Camrose Police Service has purchased a state-of-the-art laser enforcement instrument to assist with speed enforcement.

“One of our most successful tools involves our photo radar unit,” said Belanger. “Photo radar enforcement within the community of Camrose has proven to be a very successful tool in reducing vehicle speed. Photo radar will continue to operate in school zones to assist our youth in safely travelling to and from school.”

Perhaps the most effective defensive driving technique is to slow down when on the road.

That’s easier said than done, especially for commuters who are running late and trying to get to the office on time.

But making a conscious effort to slow down, even if you are a few minutes late for work or running late for an appointment, can mean the difference between getting into an accident or staying safe on the road. If you know you are running late, don’t try to compensate by driving fast. Instead, call ahead to let whoever might be waiting for you know that you will be a few minutes late.

Don’t lane hop

Frequent switching between lanes can make other drivers nervous, increasing the risk of an accident. In addition, sudden or frequent lane changes can make it difficult for drivers to maintain their focus on the road and see more than a few cars ahead of them. Drivers who have been on the road for a long time may feel confident in their abilities to quickly switch between lanes, but fellow motorists may find such shifting distracting and begin to drive erratically as a result. Stay in one lane as long as possible, and only pass cars on the left.

Don’t respond to aggressive drivers

If a fellow driver is driving aggressively, slow down and let them pass or pull over and let them get far away from you before you return to the roadway.

Studies have indicated that road rage incidents escalate when drivers make eye contact with one another. Even if you are not at fault, it’s up to you to avoid a potentially dangerous situation and protect yourself and your passengers.

Sure, the all-new Cruze has the responsible features you need every day, but it’s also the car you actually want to drive because it’s got style, and so do you.

So whether you’re running to the ball diamond, soccer pitch or the hockey arena, this is the best vehicle to get there.

Cruze is all new and ready to make a statement with you behind the wheel.

The new design features aerodynamic sculpting for a noticeably sportier appearance and the available projector-beam headlamps with signature LED daytime running lamps leave a lasting impression.

It’s like being in your home away from home. This compact car offers a host of premium comforts like available leather-appointed heated front and rear seats and an available heated steering wheel. You can also expect a quiet ride with the standard acoustical laminated windshield that’s specially designed to help keep your drive as peaceful as possible.

Technology

“Entertaining technology centres around you. This compact car has plenty of

ways to keep you entert a i n e d including standard Chevrolet MyLink with a 178 mm (seven inch) diagonal touch-screen, available advanced phone integration and standard built-in 4G LTE hotspot with available Wi-Fi connection,” said sales associate Tyler Pryor. “Everything is at your finger tips. Cruze offers support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This intuitive technology lets you interact with your maps, your texts, your music using voice commands or the MyLink touchscreen display in your car.

It’s smart, convenient and helps you keep your eyes where they belong — on the road.”

One touch of a button starts the engine so you’ll be on your way in a snap.

Available wireless charging helps keep your cell phone powered up and ready to go.

Efficiency

The all-new standard 1.4L turbo engine (with start-stop feature with the six speed automatic transmission) offers a balance of efficiency and power, so you can go the extra kilometre and hug every corner along the way.

It almost imperceptibly shuts off and starts up the engine in certain conditions, helping to save gas and improve efficiency.

Cruze offers the combination of technology and efficiency. The 1.4L turbo engine delivers 153 horsepower and likes to avoid the gas pump.

It is rated at between 5.6 and

5.9 litres for every 100 kilometres on the highway.

Cruze comes in L, LS, LT and Premier models with wheels ranging from 15 to 18 inches in steel or aluminum.

Safety first

Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert uses radar sensors to monitor traffic behind and to the sides of you, and visually warns you of those vehicles using the available rear vision camera.

Available Lane Keep Assist uses sensors to warn you if you unintentionally drift from your lane and gently helps you steer the vehicle back into the lane if you

don’t take action.

Available allnew Forward Collision Alert helps you to stay safe with two warnings, a Tailgating Alert to let you know if you’re following another vehicle too closely, and a Crash Imminent Alert to signal when you’re approaching a vehicle too quickly, so you can take action.

Cruze was the first car in its class to have 10 standard airbags. Side-impact and knee airbags help protect you and your front passenger.

A high-strength steel safety cage provides impressive protection in the event of an impact.

With available Automatic Crash Response, builtin sensors can automatically alert an OnStar Advisor if your airbags deploy. The Advisor, who is connected to your Cruze, can then see if you need help and contact emergency services.

Peace of mind

David James tributes Cash

By Murray Green

If you missed the popular David James and Big River concert that tributes Johnny Cash and his music last time he was in Camrose, or you want to enjoy the fine show again, you are in luck.

The singer who sounds and talks like the real man in black will be at the Best Western Plus on June 3 beginning at 8 p.m.

The Cash sound-alike artist has a soft spot for Camrose.

“I grew up in Tofield and hung out and worked on farms in the area. We also owned the old Macleod’s store. I remember, as a kid, coming into Camrose and stopping at the old fashioned ice cream parlour with my mom.

Camrose and the rest of Alberta have always been big country music fans. They are the biggest Cash fans in the country,” said the singer with the deep voice. “We play all over, but a lot in Alberta because people keep wanting us back. Cash had working class music and Alberta is notorious for hard working people.”

James and Big River is one of the most authentic Johnny Cash tribute shows touring today. Thousands of fans agree with those reviews, as they routinely sell out shows in venues large and small across Canada.

Local music fans can also claim that after hearing the legend himself in New Norway in the late ’50s. Cash was a hit in Alberta, and James knows he has a strong following here as well. Cash’s manager was a Canadian, so it led to several Canadian tours and a huge following in the west.

“Johnny flew to Saskatoon and then asked his band to drive from the States to play in a Canadian tour. He told them it would only take a couple of

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.

320 Acres of Farmland for Tender

A help book for caregivers

By Lori Larsen

Ruth Roberts Johnstone knows all to well the challenges faced of a caregiver

780-672-3142 ads@camrosebooster.com 4925-48 Street, Camrose AB T4V 1L7

in her book When Troubles Fall Like Lemon Drops.

“This is my story of the journey I had with my husband who was just slipping away and we had no idea what the problem was,” said Johnstone.

“It took six years, plus, to find out what his diagnosis was then the neurologist finally determined that he had Lewy Body Dementia (progressive neurodegenerative dementia closely associated with Parkinson’s disease).”

Unfortunately the disease is often misdiagnosed so Johnstone also used her book as a vessel to create awareness about the disease.

“It involves the person’s movement and cognitive abilities, things that are quite different than an Alzheimer patient,” she explained.

While she clearly stated she is not a professional in terms of the disease, having been her husband’s caregiver, Johnstone wanted to provide first hand information to other caregivers.

“I just wanted people to know the journey. Regardless of what kind of situation you (as caregivers) go through in life the processes tend to be the same, including anger, denial, acceptance and self pity,” she said.

Johnstone will be available to sign books and speak with anybody who may have questions about the book, being a caregiver or Lewy Body Dementia on June 4 at Wiseman’s Way Book Store.

Book bags generate reading excitement

By Murray Green

TEAM KRISTIAN

Submitted Race car fan Kristian Bernesky-Lyster jumped at the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat of Travis Dolter’s car. He has autism and attended the Autism Speaks Canada fundraiser held at Streb’s NAPA Auto Parts outlet in Camrose. The barbecue raised $1,400, created awareness for autism and made Bernesky-Lyster’s day.

It’s not the solution, it’s the problem

By MLA Wes Taylor

On Jan. 20, 1981, in his Inaugural address, former President of the United States Ronald Reagan said “Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”

The concept of freedom and a free society must include the ability for citizens to self-rule through or by democratically elected representation. Having liberation from the restraint of others is the ultimate goal of a people that strive to live in a truly free society.

In recent years Albertans have had to deal with unnecessary and costly regulations that have increased the bill taxpayers face for the cost of their government.

Every burdensome regulation that is imposed comes with an equally burdensome cost. The price of implementation, administration and enforcement carry an ongoing cost that has proven to increase as the bureaucracy within it grows.

Agricultural producers having the freedom from regulatory burdens to sell their products where and when they want is essential in a free market society. The regulatory burden being dictated by Bill 6, the Enhanced Protection for Farm and Ranch Workers Act, appears to remove the choice producers have when choosing insurance providers.

In question is the logic behind mandating an insurance provider (WCB) whose coverage ends when the work day ends, over private providers who provide 24 hour per day coverage for workers no matter where they are or what they’re doing. Eliminating choice of providers eliminates an employer’s opportunity to offer enhanced coverage to perspective employees.

This unnecessary regulatory burden will add not only cost for employers that want to offer an enhanced coverage to their employees; it effectively makes it very unlikely that it would be offered to an employee at all. Removing the freedom to choose will prove to benefit only the ever-growing bureaucracy that goes with government regulation. The upcoming consultation on Bill 6 will be conducted by six working groups appointed by the Alberta government; details have been vague on the mandates and parameters that will govern these consultations.

Also in President Reagan’s 1981 speech he added, “From time to time we’ve been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by selfrule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?”

Principled leadership is based on a set of values that have to be adapted to suit the will of the people being represented; they are not to be compromised away. Agricultural producers in Alberta at no time requested government remove their freedom to choose. This was based on an ideological belief not principled leadership.

Ideology is said to know the answer before the question has been asked; we can only hope that the questions being asked at the consultations are not rhetorical in nature. The Alberta government’s inability to govern themselves with Albertans best interests in mind during the Bill 6 roll out, clearly

demonstrates their sole focus on ideology.

Wes Taylor MLA, Battle River-Wainwright, 780-8426177 or fax 780-842-3171.

Children need to read to succeed. A comprehensive study of kindergarten children in Alberta shows that 25 per cent of children in Alberta do not have all of the skills needed to be a success in school. The statistics are very similar for local children in the Camrose area.

Camrose Family Literacy, the Early Childhood Development Coalition (ECD) and the Vision Credit Union are partnering to provide information and resources for parents of pre-school aged children to improve success. Sturdy book bags provided through funding from the Credit Union will be filled with hands-on activities and tools intended to help prepare young children for kindergarten. Access to information on all aspects of healthy development will also be provided.

“The funding for the bags is part of an annual fundraiser, Biking For Books, started by Alan Ford to support early literacy in Camrose,” explained Lynne Hartwick, executive director for Camrose Family Literacy.

“The Vision Credit Union has donated significant funds to support this initiative for

several years now. We have been giving out Read-To-Me Bags, books and information packages to new parents at the four-month well baby clinic for many years and will continue to do so. Three years ago, we expanded the project to include families of kindergarten children,” added Hartwick.

“This year after much discussion, we decided to change this to families of pre-schoolers so that parents get some extra ideas and access to support while they still have time to help their children get ready for kindergarten.”

The ECD coalition is a working group of like minded people concerned with promoting the healthy development of all children in the Camrose area. The coalition members partner in events, programs and activities to help families in every aspect of parenting and child rearing.

The book bags will be packaged on June 6. “There are a lot of people involved in the coalition and the project and we all think that what we do is very important,” said Hartwick.

The kitchen is complete with rich maple cabinets, a moveable island and a pantry space for plenty of storage.

The living room has natural light pouring in from the large window. Completing the main floor is a two piece powder room tucked away just around from the kitchen and a door to the back deck.

also has a four piece main bathroom and conveniently located laundry only steps from the bedrooms.

The lower level is partly completed, awaiting your personal touches and finishing that suits your own lifestyle.
