The two Shoppers Drug Mart stores in Camrose are always significant participants in the company’s Canada-wide

Growing Women’s Health Campaign (formerly known as Tree of Life). The 15th annual four-week endeavour gets underway on Sunday, September 10. The lofty goal? To raise $3.3 million dollars which would bring the total amount raised in the country, over the previous decade and a half, to almost $30 million. The campaign provides Shoppers Drug Mart customers with the opportunity to purchase and personalize a paper version of a women’s health icon: a leaf for a loonie, a butterfly for $5, an apple for $10 and a bird for $50. Your purchase will be displayed on the “Growing Women’s Health Tree” in-store. Money raised at the two Camrose outlets will stay local and benefit local females in need of improved mind, body and spirit health. This year, 100 percent of proceeds raised at the two Camrose stores will be directed to Camrose Women’s Shelter Society.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson What problem?

I’ve been feeling a little discombobulated – okay, more than a little – what with re-locating both my home and office, and preparing a third location for renters, while trying to stay on top of some work deadlines and so on. I realized that in the midst of all the chaos I could not think. Simple tasks seemed insurmountable. A plan change or incomplete contractor task or yet another unexpected expense felt like a personal attack from I wasn’t sure who or what – but definitely a body blow. As is often the case, all my sterling inner strength and stress management strategies left my awareness. I didn’t remember to do any of the things I know are useful in times of turmoil. I even stopped doing regular routines that I do without thinking to keep myself healthy. These are things that are so useful I even teach them to other people! I couldn’t find the little plastic baggie in which I keep lipstick in my purse. I had the little baggie in my hand. Fifteen minutes later it had evaporated from the planet. It was not in my purse. Not on any surface I could see. Not in any cupboard or drawer or container I had opened during that 15 minutes. Not anywhere. I had not left the place so I knew it couldn’t be anywhere else. But it had simply de-materialized. Even while I was fussing about my disappeared lipstick, I knew that on a scale of life’s problems, this didn’t rate high. Definitely a first world problem! Within the next 24 hours, I was exposed to a few situations that helped re-balance my perspective. *** A Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières Canada Dispatches booklet described some of the situations in which doctors, nurses, and other medical practitioners help refugees and displaced persons in some of the most dangerous places in the world. I read about refugee camps where people had to flee from bombs and shootings and rapes and murders. Their homes and communities they loved were destroyed. I read about people who walked hundreds of miles, carrying their few belongings and taking turns holding small children, only to find that borders were closed and they could not move on. I read about people who had no food for days, who lacked even safe water. And I thought, I was discombobulated by the disruption of a couple of re-locations that I chose, with people to help me at every step of the way. I don’t have a clue what “disruption” means. *** I heard stories from people who have a lived in places where police and military representatives are dangerous to ordinary citizens. As one example, police delivered a subpoena to appear in court for a malicious accusation, and then explained that the police could make it all go away – for a price. And I thought, I’m irritated when a police officer gives me a ticket that I absolutely deserve. I need to be grateful for the integrity of our police services. As another example, I listened to people who had husbands and fathers taken away in the middle of the night, never to be seen again. I’m sad when people I love live far away and I don’t see them often – though have the capacity to connect with them on Skype. I don’t have a clue what “missing” means. *** The capper was, this week we learned that one of our four-year-old family members has been diagnosed with leukemia. That changed everything. Whatever I thought was stressful, whatever I thought was a problem, simply disappeared along with my evaporated lipstick. It’s good to be reminded of what’s really important. With the stress of that situation also comes the enormous outpouring of love and support from family, friends and passing strangers. We have access to the best possible medical care. We have so much to be grateful for. My perspective is back. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Lakeland flyer

I received a Shanon Stubbs (MP Lakeland) flyer in my Bawlf mailbox. Who knows why a Lakeland flyer ended up in Bawlf? But, I couldn’t help but compare Stubbs’ flyer to what our local MP Sorenson offers his riding in his Parliamentary Report. Stubbs’ flyer announces that she is “Working together keeping the government accountable” assuring her supporters that she will “continue to advocate on your behalf on issues that matter most to you.” Stubbs flyer shows her with her volunteers at local festivals and parades. We periodically see Sorenson in photo ops with politicians, and recently, reading to children at the local library. On the matter of the CPP premium rate changes, she informs us, “On June 20, the federal government

and eight provincial governments signed an agreement in principle.” It is to take effect in 2019. She is pretty straight forward, providing a half-page chart indicating “how your paycheque will “shrink”: Those earning $30,000 will lose $215/year Those earning $60,000 will lose $565/year. Those earning $90,000 will lose $1,098/ year. She continues to give specifics. “The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, two-thirds of business owners, believe that a CPP tax-hike would result in... In 2015, the CFIB studied a CPP tax-hike and found that it would eliminate 110,000 jobs and permanently lower wages by nearly one per cent.” She speaks in specifics. Compare that to Sorenson’s Parliamentary Report in the July 5/16 edition of the Booster, with its inflammatory language on the same subject. He begins well...citing the proposed change starting date and the increase in pensionable earnings from $54,900 (2019) to $82,700 in 2025. Whether any of Stubbs or Sorenson’s numbers are based on actual fact becomes a mute point. But Sorenson’s Report quickly resorts to emotive fear-mongering generalizations, without giving the source for his assumptions: “The CPP tax hike will take money from the

paycheques of hardworking Canadians and place hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk because employers in the tough economy may not be able to pay their share of a CPP premium hike.” Sorenson’s “Report” abandons any semblance of providing facts, and deteriorates into emotionallyladen rhetoric. For example, Sorenson continues, “The Liberals are salivating at getting their hands on the more than $220 billion CPP fund and force it to invest in their government’s infrastructure projects.” (a statement that would be edited if it appeared in a Letter to the Editor). His “Canadians should be allowed to manage their own money” is somewhat of a motherhood statement. Neither of these statements adhere to a factual informative tone. Nor, do they convey any meaningful information. Are your Booster readers justified in expecting a more factual and informative “Parliamentary Report” from our elected MP? Could we raise the bar? Marion Leithead, Bawlf Editor’s note: MP Sorenson covers a large riding, but still manages to take in many local events. With tens of thousands of “bosses” being a politician can be a very difficult job.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster On Aug. 28, the Camrose Elks and Royal Purple showed their support for the Wild Pink Yonder fundraiser for the Cancer Research Institute of Northern Alberta (CRINA)by providing 18 riders with breakfast and raising just over $970 from proceeds donated during the breakfast and some private donations. Elks exalted ruler Gerry Czapp presented donations to Jane Hurl president and CEO of the Wild Pink Yonder fundraiser ride. The ride began on Aug. 12 in Stirling and made an overnight stop in Camrose on Aug. 27.

Local Terry Fox Run supports cancer research projects By Murray Green

Real life wins out

I have been stewing for a while about how to write an anti-technology column without sounding negative or well, too antianything. Then I realized that it is ridiculous to be anti-technology; technology cautious perhaps, but technology is a force that I can’t stop. It’s like saying that I’m anti-weather. That’s well and good, but it’s not going to stop the weather from changing. I have to take the good with

the bad. Technology has me feeling cautious because I sense that there is an increasing tendency against real contact with people and that scares me. I actually prefer to wait in a line and place an order or make a purchase with a live person than to make purchases from a computer. I’ve also noticed that people take their phones everywhere and use them constantly - even in the presence of other real, live people. It concerns me when I see three people at a table in a restaurant and all of them are clacking away on their phones; emailing, texting, skyping, checking the weather, who knows what else. When there is an awkward pause in conversation, instead of wracking our brains to think of something the other person is interested in that we can ask about, instead we are pulling out our phones and not really connecting. I am not making an effort to unplug; I’m making an effort to never plug in the first place. I never joined Facebook; I thought it would take too much time from me. I have never sent a tweet, nor would I even know how. We upgrade our technology products only when forced to because what we own becomes obsolete (Though we still have our resilient VHS player to tape Survivor). I think that views of technology change from generation to generation. My dad is aghast when I don’t answer the phone. To him, it is most likely an emergency or conversation of vital importance. For me, it’s likely a friend calling to chat or make a playdate and if I’m in the middle of supper or changing a diaper, it can wait. Technology is supposed to enhance things we do and speed things up, not interrupt us, or make us forget what it’s like to talk face-to-face. There is a certain amount of technology savvy that I will need to protect my children as they grow. There may come a time when I need a Facebook page just to help me keep track of their friends and interests. I will need to understand cyber bullying and text bullying. For now, I am happy that I have learned to text (though I still have no idea how people are even capable of attempting this feat while driving; sometimes I have a hard enough time hitting the right buttons while I’m sitting on the couch). Besides consciously not plugging in, I have also been trying to regulate when technology is used. Sometimes my fingers are itching to send a quick text or make a phone call at lunchtime, but I’m eating and visiting with my real, live children. If they see me texting now at the dinner table, I will have problems on my hands when they hit their teen years. We have one television set in our home, and it is not anywhere near the dinner table. I make a point of phoning or stopping by to visit someone who is house bound instead of sending an email or text to see how they’re doing. Last year, I had a struggle on my hands: my mom’s group was meeting on the same night as Survivor. Big dilemma. I thought I could do both; it just meant leaving during the prayer request and prayers at the end. Still, I often missed the first 15 minutes or half hour of the show, so it wasn’t ideal. I mentioned the problem to my astute sister-in-law, and told her that I had stayed for the whole evening the night before and taped the show, which had been really nice. She said, “Yeah, I guess sometimes real life has to win out.” Ouch. After that, I either attended the study or didn’t, there was no middle ground. The same goes with how we should handle the technology around us – sometimes real life has to win out.

The 36th annual Terry Fox Run is a fun activity for the community to raise funds for cancer research. “We’re hoping for another great turnout,” said Terry Fox Run committee member Dawn Anderson. “The more participants we have the greater our fundraising total will be.” The run will take place at the Stoney Creek Centre starting at 11 a.m. Sept. 18, following a 10 a.m. registration. “We moved locations due to the construction in Jubilee Park and it worked out well for us,” said Anderson. “We will be using the paved trail system for the usual three km or 10 km run, which can be walked, ran, biked, bladed or anything you wish. Dogs are definitely welcome.” Terry Fox Run pledge sheets may be obtained online at terryfoxrun.org, or by visiting any gym in Camrose. Receipts will be issued by the Terry Fox Foundation for anyone who makes a donation of $20 or more. “There is no registration fee and no charge for

participating,” said Anderson. The Camrose Terry Fox Run committee is hoping to see more team involvement than in the past. “Team participation is a way to bring co-workers, friends and families together to have a little fun while supporting those who have cancer,” said Anderson. “We have always had great support from the cross-country running team at the Augustana campus of the University of Alberta.” Team captains may visit terryfox.org to obtain innovative ideas on raising funds and generating interest, whether it be through pre-run gatherings or lunches, or by ordering Terry Fox Run t-shirts. There are a lot of different ways to be creative. If you are a boss and you want to motivate your team you can offer a day off to a person who first reaches his or her fundraising goal or offer boss for a day status to the person who recruits the most new members. The Terry Fox Run was initiated in 1980 when Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope for cancer research. Beginning at the shore of

OLD SWITCHBOARD

the Atlantic in St. John’s on April 12, Terry’s efforts won over Canadians from coast to coast. Although the return of cancer in his lungs forced the end of the running portion of the Marathon of Hope on Sept. 1, Terry’s legacy was just beginning. His vision helped transform cancer research in Canada and establish a new attitude and threshold regarding what kind of investment was necessary in order to support it. The Terry Fox Foundation has raised $700 million. The Terry Fox Research Institute (TFRI) was started by the Terry Fox Foundation. The Institute seeks to improve significantly the outcomes of cancer research for the patient through a highly collaborative, teamoriented, milestone-based approach to research that will enable discoveries to translate quickly into practical solutions for cancer patients world wide. TFRI collaborates with over 60 cancer hospitals and research organizations across Canada.

Submitted Lloyd Johnson, volunteer at the Camrose and District Centennial Museum was thrilled to see the donation of this telephone switchboard. Originating in the Daysland Motel lobby, it was saved from the dump by an AGT employee, Gary Feth. It became part of the Feth home decor for about 35 years before they recently donated it to the Town of Daysland who then re-directed it to the Camrose Museum. With the help of Mr. Johnson, also a retired AGT employee, the Museum intends to restore and incorporate it into their school programs, enabling children to use the old technology. The museum needs rotary dial telephones. If you have one (or more) donate to the Centennial Museum for this project, 4522-53 Street or call 780-672-3298.

Children benefit from pediatric operating suite By Murray Green

New operating rooms, expanded hours and stateof-the-art equipment mean more surgeries can be performed with better outcomes for children and families at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. Thanks, in part, to local fundraising initiatives. The redeveloped space has five operating rooms and two procedure rooms with modern infrastructure and equipment. This follows a recent expansion in hours for the short stay surgical unit, which has resulted in a dramatic reduction in surgery postponements over the past year. The changes will result in an increase of up to 2,800 surgeries per year. “Nothing is more stressful than having a seriously sick or injured child. The Stollery provides incredible care to Alberta families when their kids need it most. I’m very proud of this expansion because it means even more families will benefit from a space that was designed based on their needs,” said Premier Rachel Notley. To help ensure the expansion was designed with the interests of children and their families in mind, a mother with several children who have required surgery at the Stollery provided input into the design. “It’s challenging to develop a space that meets the surgical standard of care, but is also patient-friendly and will accommodate families during a stressful time. The family voice was respected through planning and implementation. It was truly a collaborative process,” added Shannon Robertson, member of Stollery Family-Centred Care Committee. The patient-centred model will provide improved outcomes in a more comfortable setting. It also fosters a stronger training and teaching environment and allows for better integration of developing technologies and innovative procedures. “When children need surgery, it’s a stressful time for young patients and their families. This redesigned operating suite will enable our health providers to deliver quality, patient-and familycentred care that will ease anxieties and improve both patient outcomes and patient e x p er ienc e s,”e x pl a i ne d Dr. Verna Yiu, president and CEO, Alberta Health Services. All operating rooms have been designed with modular and mobile equipment to meet the needs of all surgery types. This allows more surgeries to be performed through more efficient use of space and equipment. Since operational hours for the short stay surgical unit increased to 24 hours/ day, three days a week, the number of postponed surgeries has dropped by 93 per cent. In the 12-month peri-

STOLLERY OPERATING ROOM

Submitted Photos One of the new pediatric operating rooms at the Stollery Children’s Hospital. They are large, bright and equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Built in storage in the OR’s allows for space saving as well as cleanliness as dust cannot settle on anything in the cases. Child friendly murals and images are on the walls throughout the new OR unit and within the new operating theatres.

od prior to the expansion in hours, 198 surgeries were postponed due to a lack of available recovery beds. In the first year after the new hours were added, surgery postponements dropped to 14. This fall, the operational hours for these recovery beds will increase further to 24 hours/day, five days a week. This increase is anticipated to further reduce the rate of postponement. “This investment in stateof-the-art, operating-room suites and procedure rooms and pre-op and recovery spaces means medical professionals can provide more specialized, compassionate care and Stollery families will receive added privacy to focus on the needs of their child,” said Mike House, president and CEO, Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.

The $36 million project was supported with $33.7 million from the government and $2.5 million from the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation and took 29 months to complete. The Stollery Children’s Hospital is recognized nationally and internationally for specialized surgical services, including expertise as a major pediatric trauma centre, and is the second-largest pediatric hospital in Canada. More than 9,500 surgeries were performed at the Stollery Children’s Hospital operating suite between April 1, 2015 and March 31 of this year. The pediatric surgical case load has grown by an average of 3.6 per cent annually and is expected to continue at that rate. “We’re incredibly thank-

ful to Vision Credit Union for their thoughtful donation toward the Stollery Children’s Hospital pediatric operating room expansion and redevelopment. The generosity of the Battle River Community Initiative as a whole has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated,” said foundation development officer Cyndi Matthews. In recognition of the tremendous support from this community, one of the new operating rooms will be named after the Battle River Community Initiative. “The committee set a goal to raise $500,000 and with the Vision Credit Union donation, we are very close to reaching our goal. The funds raised will help redevelop operative spaces at the Stollery Children’s Hospital, providing excellence in equip-

ment and facilities, training, programs and research that benefits the sickest kids in our community,” explained Matthews. When the Stollery Children’s Hospital Operative Services program shared a pressing need for expansion and redevelopment, the Battle River Community Initiative stepped up to help. The Stollery Children’s Hospital has assisted Camrose and area families for many years. “It was 23 years ago, when liver transplants were something new, that the Stollery Children’s Hospital allowed our four-year-old daughter to lead a transplanted healthy life. Without the Stollery, she would not be here today,” explained Rod Ross, of Camrose. More recently, the Denham family, of Camrose, wanted to lend support after a positive experience. “Over the past five years we have been to the Stollery on numerous occasions. We are truly so fortunate to have that level of pediatric care available to us just a car ride away. They have helped my family in so many ways, I want to give back so they can help so many other families,” said parents Nicole and Brett Denham about daughter Macy. Donations are being accepted by Battle River Community Initiative members Brett, Nicole and Cliff Denham, Rod Ross and Brian Austrom, all of whom have benefited first hand from the incredible level of care that the Stollery provides, as well as the Battle River Community Foundation. Donations may also be made on-line at www. stollerykids.com, or by calling 1-877-393-1411. Be sure to select Battle River Community Initiative when donating online or to reference it when you call or mail in your donation.

BRCF awards grant to Camrose Neighbor Aid Center

Submitted Photo Battle River Community Foundation administrator Tom Kuntz presented a $7,000 grant to the School Breakfast Program volunteer Grace Lewis.

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded $7,000 in grants to Camrose Neighbor Aid Center. Battle River Community Foundation administrator Tom Kuntz presented a cheque to Grace Lewis, School Breakfast Program volunteer. The grant represents net income from the Stolee Family Fund and the A ndreassen Family Fund. These Funds were created to allow the donors to recommend charitable programs to receive grants. In both of these cases, the Foundation Board approved grants to support Neighbor Aid’s School Breakfast Programs in Camrose. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta which benefit the local 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 principals of these endowment funds are 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 more than $4,000,000 to support community facilities and programs such as those offered by Camrose Neighbor Aid Center.

Camrose declares September Prostate Cancer Awareness Month By Lori Larsen Prostate cancer is the most common cancer that affects men and one in eight men will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime. In an effort to build awareness and in support of men diagnosed with prostate cancer, Mayor Norm Mayer, on behalf of the council and the City of Camrose, officially proclaimed September as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in Camrose. “We (City of Camrose) are declaring the month of September as prostate awareness month in support of the number of people that we know, friends and relatives, that have or are dealing with the problem of prostate cancer,” said Mayer. Having a Prostate Cancer Awareness month keeps the thought of the seriousness of prostate cancer in the minds of people, thus spreading the word to a wider audience. Stephanie Cole, Prostate Cancer Canada project administrator and executive assistant to Randy Hutchings, vice-president marketing and philanthropy and Dr. Stuart Edmonds, vice-president research, health promotion and survivorship explains the importance of this initiative. “Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is a time dedicated to public education regard-

ing the most common cancer in men. “Statistically comparable with breast cancer, it is of vital importance that we increase our collective understanding about a disease that, when detected early, is over 90 per cent treatable. In 2015, an estimated 24,000 Canadian men were diagnosed, and this number is expected to double by 2030 due an aging population.” Notably, the death rate for prostate cancer decreased four per cent per year from 2001-09 as a result of improved testing and better treatment options. Prostate Cancer Canada indicates that a simple Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test, done from a blood sample from the arm, may indicate problems with the prostate and possibly the presence of cancer in early stages albeit can not diagnose prostate cancer. The more understanding and awareness people have regarding prostate cancer, the better chance there is of seeking treatment early and decreasing the number of prostate cancer related deaths. For more information visit the Prostate Cancer Canada website at www. prostatecancer.ca.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster On behalf of City Council of the City of Camrose, Mayor Norm Mayer signed an official proclamation declaring September Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

The Morbidly Hip

Alexander Carpenter, Music, Augustana Campus, University of Alberta

One has to tread carefully these days when talking about the Tragically Hip. The band has been practically deified in recent months, becoming something of a sacred cow in the wake of the announcement of singer Gord Downie’s terminal brain cancer: the Hip is “Canada’s band,” as the media now tells us, and Downie is the country’s unofficial poet laureate. Much of the nation seems to be in a state of highly-wrought public mourning in anticipation of the death of Downie and the

demise of the group. In the immediate wake of Downie’s announcement, the Hip launched what everyone understands to be a final tour, traveling across the country to say goodbye to its fans. This tour has been exhaustively documented not only by the traditional media, but on social media. Journalists have offered countless retrospective editorials on the Hip, music critics have been recounting their emotional responses at concerts—“I promised myself I wouldn’t cry, but…”—and fans have documented each performance on Facebook through thousands of images and videos. This whole enterprise is decidedly morbid. I am not trying to diminish the significance of the Tragically Hip as a band—and in particular as a successful, “home grown” phenomenon in an otherwise (a)pathetic Canadian music scene—or the importance of the group to its many fans, for whom the Hip offer a particular sort of musical patriotism, bound up in a handful of sentimental anthems about small towns, the prairies, and hockey. But one gets the distinct impression that this tour is not about the songs or the band as such; rather, it is about the fans. From the beginning, as the sociologists Minelle Mahtani and Scott Salmon have documented, the Tragically Hip have been “read”—or better, misread—by fans as a band dedicated to the promotion and articulation of Canadian identity. As we all know, the notion of a Canadian identity is very nebulous: in a country so vast and diverse, it is nearly impossible to speak of anything like a fixed, stable sense of Canadian-ness. Nonetheless, the reception history of the Hip has been tied to national identity since the band’s early years: Mahtani and Salmon argue that this may be a function of globalization—appropriating popular music to symbolize nationhood and national identity may reflect a desire for stability in a changing world. Certainly, I would suggest, there’s nothing inherently “Canadian” about the band’s rather generic, sometimes-bluesy/sometimes-folksy rock aesthetic; and while Downie’s lyrics sometime touch upon Canadian places and topics, the songs are not exclusively artifacts of Canadiana, as they are so often characterized. The fans—with some help from the media—have turned the Hip into “Canada’s band.” And now, they are turning what is likely Downie’s final appearances with the band into Greek tragedy: the music, and arguably the band itself are pushed into the margins, as legions of die-hard fans, casual fans, and bystanders seek an emotional charge from what one of my colleagues referred to as “dead man dancing.” It is largely catharsis that is the main event at these concerts—Downie is the trigger, the songs are the aural backdrop. The real performance is a psycho-social one, and is happening as much in the audience as on the stage. At least, this has been true for most of the tour. At the final Tragically Hip concert in Kingston, however, those of us paying attention bore witness to what was a truly transcendent moment: when Downie suddenly burst into tears at the end of the song “Grace, too.” While this had an element of morbid voyeurism to it, it was also heart-breaking. Here, Downie’s personal tragedy seemed to collide and coalesce with all the emotional weight that music can bring to bear: the result was a revelation, a painful and breathtaking moment—a flash of beautifully raw humanity shared between performer and audience. The media finally got it right when it reported that, in this moment, “the nation cried with him.”

Harder moves to modern blues sound By Murray Green

Dustin Harder is back singing the blues, his favourite genre of music. Harder, a Metis musician from Winnipeg, stops in Camrose on Sept. 10 for an 8 p.m. show at the Bailey Theatre. You have seen and heard him before as Dusty Roads with a roots style for music. He changed bands and styles to suit his blues background. His Dustin Harder’s Prairie Soul Hittin’ The Road Harder Tour fits his direction of modern blues. “I took some time off and re-branded my music. With a name like Dusty Roads, people thought we were country instead of a roots music band. Myself, I wanted to head into the direction of more blues, which is more suited to my style and background. The band wanted to go more in the direction of roots, while I wanted to move toward blues,” explained Harder. “I’m breaking new ground and the Bailey’s Rock’n Blues Review series fit my style and Geraint Osborne asked if I would start the series off with my concert.” Harder is a singer/songwriter with strong Manitoba roots who fearlessly chases his dreams with songs to reflect his adventures. His hard-hitting guitar riffs of rockin’ prairie soul roots, blues and smooth vocals deliver a tightly packaged album release. Prairie Soul was to be released on Sept. 2, prior to his long western Canadian Hittin’ The Road Harder Tour. “My band members are now older than me and they

have played for 40 and 50 years, so lots of experience. I worked and played with Big Dave McLean and we had Sunday jams for more than 10 years. When I was young, 14 to 16 years old, my mom would sign me up to go on the stage list, but I would get scared and run out the door when my name was called to perform. One day, I was running for the back door and Big Dave McLean was there and said, okay you’re Dustin. He said I wasn’t going anywhere until I played on stage,” recalled Harder.

The new album reflects his prairie blues and is a compilation of original songs that were recorded in various studios. The quality of his work earned him spots on the National Aboriginal Top 40 Countdown over the past few years. “I remember John Lee Hooker saying blues fit him like a shoe and that is the way I have always looked at it,” he added. Harder and his team have been hard at work ensuring his album gets a full proper release. Dustin

Harder’s Prairie Soul is an album that gutturally explores truths that Dustin has had to come to terms with on the subjects of love, relationships and his musical career as well as the therapeutic healing process of his musical journey. He shines on lead vocals and guitar with the accompaniment of a variety of Winnipeg musicians. Tracks like “Miss You” delve into actions of love and unwavering support accompanied by Canadian Blues Harp Extraordinaire Harpdog Brown. While the bright

“Killin Time” is a strong, progressive tune with latin and indie undertones. The soft lyrics of “Can’t Give Up On Your Love” are layered by dynamic yet diverse percussive elements of Disco era rock and a pop style memorable chorus. “I’m on a mission to re-define blues for today in modern times. My interest in music came from my grandparents. We were a paycheque to paycheque family living in the north end. My grandparents, their six children and myself living in a three bedroom house. We didn’t have a lot of money for entertainment, so we made our own. We sang songs and played the banjo,” Harder explained. In Winnipeg, the home of many great musicians, the winters are long, so most people take up hockey or music. “Yes, that’s true and I came from a musical family, so it was a natural fit for me,” said Harder. Bring your dancing shoes. The band will get you up and moving. “I love seeing people up and dancing to the music. Besides the blues songs, I will throw in a few ballads for those who like to get closer when dancing,” added Harder. “It will be an electric dance show. We plan on having a party in Camrose.” Tickets are available online at www.baileytheatre.com/tickets, at the Bailey Box Office 5041-50 Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. or by phoning 780672-5510.

John and Eloise Bergen

On Forgiveness

“

”

September 15-18, 2016 The year is 2008. Late one evening in rural Kenya, a band of men break into a house and brutally assault and rob the couple living there. The couple had recently arrived from Canada for missionary work among orphans. Near the point of death, they struggle to find medical treatment in the dark of night. Their healing is miraculous, but the greater story is their spiritual journey to healing through the power of forgiveness. Hear their inspiring story – how joy and hope replaced their shock and suffering.

Parsons shares New Zealand folk songs By Murray Green

New Zealand’s Mel Parsons is coming a long way to share her indie/folk music with local music fans. She will be stopping in Camrose for a Friday, Sept. 16 show at the Bailey Theatre beginning at 8 p.m. The award-winning singer songwriter is recognized as one of New Zealand’s established song writ-

ing stars. Solo, or with her dynamic band, Parsons is an engaging performer with a natural emotive voice that allows the listener to become part of the story. Her unique style simmers somewhere between indie/folk and alt/ country, and her shows are as memorable for the spine tingling songs as for Parsons’ dry banter delivery in between.

People who like folk, country and bluegrass will want to experience the Prairie Edge Home Companion series that Parsons is launching. Tickets are available online at www.baileytheatre. com/tickets, at the Bailey Box Office 5041-50 Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. or by phoning 780672-5510.

Join Augustana Choir Submitted

The music area at the Augustana Campus is delighted to announce two exciting musical opportunities for those who love sing. Sangkor (pronounced song-koor) Women’s Ensemble draws its name from the Norwegian word for “song choir”. Directed by Dr. John Wiebe, this treble choir is non-auditioned and open to interested members of the community as well as

Augustana students studying in all disciplines. The choir sings music from a variety of times, places, and traditions, and endeavours to cultivate in its members a deep appreciation for the richness of the choral art. In addition, strong emphasis is placed on the development of the vocal instrument and gaining an understanding of foundational musical concepts. The choir rehearses

every Thursday evening between 7 and 9 p.m. New members are accepted in September and January. The first Sangkor rehearsal for the 2016 Fall Term takes place on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. in room A024 (auxiliary building) at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus. Mannskor: Augustana’s Men’s Choir is a nonauditioned ensemble that encourages men from the Augustana Campus and the Camrose Community to explore the joy and comradery of choral singing. Through diverse repertoire drawn from the bountiful male choral tradition, director Dr. John Wiebe leads choristers from Mannskor to improve vocal technique and choral musicianship skills. Mannskor serves to build strong relationships between Augustana students, staff, faculty, and members of the University and Camrose communities. The choir rehearses every Monday evening between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. The first Mannskor rehearsal for the Fall Term takes place on Monday, Sept. 12 at 7:30 p.m. in A024 at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

A new twist for the Shop Local initiative Submitted Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED) is launching an initiative to support the region’s business owners by encouraging local shopping. BRAED is comprised of 25 member communities across East-Central Alberta that work cooperatively to address community economic development issues from a regional perspective. The “One Less Trip” initiative is designed to help Battle River businesses survive and thrive by inspiring small shifts in consumer spending patterns through education, municipal engagement and incentive programs like contests and special events. BRAED members are excited to team up with Downtown Camrose and the Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce in developing this initiative and anticipate welcoming other partners onboard as the year-long project gets underway. “The One Less Trip initiative will help business owners communicate some important messages,” said BRAED vicechair Carl Marsh of Holden. “We know that even small changes can have a big impact. No one expects residents to completely change their shopping patterns, but even the choice to make one less trip out of the community can have big economic and social effects on the community.” Executive director of Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce Sharon Anderson expressed the importance of shopping locally.

Submitted Photo Members of the One Less Trip Campaign Team display the new logo that will soon be featured at businesses across the region. Pictured from left to right are Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson, Downtown Camrose manager Allan Walkey, From Kicks to Kids owner Debbie Thompson, Bra Necessities co-owner Kim Turre, and Mayor of Holden and vice-chair of BRAED Carl Marsh.

“We want people to see the connection between dollars spent locally and the contribution that local business owners make to community life. “Not only do local businesses create employment and generate important tax revenue, they support the events, cultural activities and sport programs that are the fabric of our community.” This will be the first time that communities across the Battle River Region have joined forces to support a regional shop local initiative.

The program will highlight the savings in terms of time, money and environmental impact that small shifts in spending choices can mean. The One Less Trip initiative will help businesses affect real incremental change by communicating the benefits of shopping local, and cross promoting other local businesses through marketing, employee education, and public outreach. Local business owner Debbie Thompson of From Kicks to Kids of Camrose is excited to share the message

that consumers need not travel to find selection and value. “People often assume that they’ll get better selection or pricing by traveling to a larger urban centre. That’s simply not true. We pride ourselves in being able to match competitors’ prices and ensuring that our customers have the best possible selection.” Marsh is hopeful that the shift will start with families doing back to school shopping in the coming weeks. “Why spend time in a car worrying about traffic and parking

when you can get what you need right here? Think about what you’d do with the time and money you save. Whether it’s another round of golf or a little more time spent on the back deck, I know I’m happy to make One Less Trip!” For more information, or to get involved contact executive director BRAED Margot Bégin, at email margot.begin@ braedalberta.ca or by telephone at 780-678-4145.

United Church 90 years open house, fall celebration By Murray Green

Camrose United Church will be holding an open house as it continues to celebrate the 90th anniversary on Sept. 10 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. The open house is a way of showing gratitude for the community support it has received over the past 90 years, as well as displaying groups that the church is involved with today. “The church started with celebrations last November. We started a task force committee called the Growing Caring Communities Task Force and one of the things we wanted to look at was continuing to build relationships within the Camrose community,” said Colleen Nelson of the committee. “We want to recognize the five organizations that the church has volunteers at, or the church supports the work that they are doing. Four of the five organizations are going to be at the open house with displays to show everyone who attends what projects they are involved with,” explained Nelson. Camrose Pride Community, TIPS (a project of CAFCL), SOS (Service for Seniors) and the Camrose and District Neighbor Aid Center are the four organizations with displays. There will be other displays in the hall, live music, presentations, building tours and coffee (cookies too) will be featured. About 25 displays will be set up. “What a great idea to invite people from the city and county to the church to see the displays in the hall and other areas of the church as well. We will show displays from other committees within the church, as well as from user groups that may not be part of the church,” added Nelson. “There will be a drama presentation from AboutTime Productions, songs from the choir, Embellish hand bells will join the choir and drumming opportunities (outside if the weather is nice). The afternoon will be filled with activities along with the displays. It will be a drop in setting where people can see what is happening at the time they are here. It will be a true open house.” The church has a labyrinth on the front lawn and people are invited to go for a guided labyrinth walk during the open house to learn more about it. The side vegetable garden can also be viewed and everyone will learn why the church has a garden. “We have no charge at the open house because we want it to be an opportunity to see what we do at the church,” she said. “This is an awareness building opportunity, but also provides a sense of how we are together with good work within the community,” said Nelson. “So many organizations kick things off in the fall and we have children’s and youth programs that start off at the same time, so everyone can learn about those as well. It wraps up the year-long celebration of support from the community,” she explained. “People may not know what we have to offer, such as a knitting group. We are really proud to showcase the programs we have within the United Church.”

Check insurance as students go back By Murray Green

As you send students or yourself to university, there are many things to consider. Clothing, text books, housing, developing a personal budget – it’s an exciting, but labourintensive endeavor. With all the obvious checked off, one area parents may not consider is to ensure their child is adequately protected from an insurance perspective. Alex Walker, national director, claims relations for

RSA Canada, offers information for parents with children attending university in the fall. When do you to get renter’s insurance? Find out if you are covered on campus. Most home insurance policies have some element of coverage for children under a specified age, while living in residence or away from school. Parents should review their policy limits, or contact their broker to see if they have enough coverage in the event of a loss.

Off-campus living needs additional coverage. If living off-campus, sharing an offcampus house or apartment with friends, a student may have to set up a separate tenant’s policy. Tenant’s insurance is often required when renting, but is usually quite affordable as long as there are three or less unrelated people sharing

the same house or living in the same apartment. Parents should ensure that their auto policy covers college-age children even while they are away. This way they are properly protected for accident benefits whether they are driving their parents’ car, or in another vehicle away from home. Parents should remind their children of the perils of ride sharing programs (such as Uber) where coverage and protection are a grey area.

Most home insurance policies have some element of liability coverage for children under a specified age while living in residence or away from school. Review policy limits and ensure that children have enough coverage in the event of a loss.

Putting a good cause into motion By Lori Larsen

How often do we take advantage of the little things in life, such as tieing our own shoelaces, drinking a glass of water or sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air in the company of others? For individuals with physical disabilities, being able to do any of these simple tasks and gestures can not only be challenging, but in some cases impossible. Tetra Society, a registered charitable organization based out of Vancouver, is taking great strides in making some of those everyday tasks easier. The founder, former Mayor of Vancouver Sam Sullivan began the organization in 1987 after being left a quadriplegic as a result of a skiing accident. After reading about the services offered by Tetra in a newsletter circulated by the Alberta Committee for Citizens with Disabilities, Camrose Centra Cam COVE coordinator Jackie Lindberg contacted the organization requesting a wheelchair accessible glider swing that could be used by many Centra Cam members to visit with others while enjoying the outdoors. “We really want to be client focused in our building and do everything we can for them,” remarked Lindberg. “I knew we had several clients who enjoyed the sensation of swinging and like swings and we didn’t really want to put a swing set in, so I started looking at glider rockers online that could accommodate a wheelchair.” Most of the models advertised online were produced in the United States and were quite costly. “Last summer I contacted Brittney Neunzig at Tetra (Edmonton Chapter)and we started talking about this idea.” After many emails back and forth with Tetra, repre-

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Volunteers came together on Sept. 1 to build the new glider swing for Centra Cam Vocational Training Association. Pictured front row left to right are Jared Millar (Derek’s Framing Co.# Number 1415093AB Ltd) and Brittney Neunzig (Tetra Society Edmonton Chapter), back row left to right from Zetsen Master Builders Thomas Francis, Yalda Yaldo, T.J. Fitzmaurice, Lucas Zetsen and from Kelly’s Handyman Service, Kelly Smithson.

sentatives came to Camrose and assisted the Centra Cam Vocational staff in determining exactly what the swing would look like, its specific purpose and how it would function. A year later that idea flourished into a reality. “I’m very excited,” remarked Lindberg. “This swing will be part of the sensory activities that we do here and the more things we can bring in the better quality of life we create for our clients.” The swing is designed to accommodate both able bod-

ied individuals and those in a wheelchair. While the main reason behind getting the glider swing was to offer Centra Cam Vocational clients more outdoor socialization options the organization would welcome any members of the community who feel they or someone they know could benefit from the swing to contact Centra Cam Vocational to make arrangements to use the swing. Centra Cam Vocational Training Association offers programs for individuals with developmental disabilities to

achieve independence while working with the community to increase awareness and encourage positive relationships within the community. Tetra Society of North America coordinator of the Edmonton Chapter Brittney Neunzig explained the premise behind the organization. “Tetra engages skilled volunteers to design and build custom assistive devices for individuals with significant physical disabilities of all ages. “Volunteers work one-onone with individuals to create devices that meet their unique

needs, enhancing quality of life by helping people with limited mobility achieve greater selfsufficiency in various areas, including self-care, school, work and leisure.” Neunzig, herself a paraplegic, discovered Tetra and the wonderful work they do after becoming pregnant with her first child and struggling with the standard cribs and change tables. “I was searching for wheelchair accessible baby care equipment and could not find anything available on the commercial market,” said Neunzig. “I was directed to Tetra because they provide custom equipment, but discovered that there was no local chapter in Edmonton at the time. With the help of some family members I went on to develop my own wheelchair accessible equipment to care for my son and later my daughter in 2012.” In 2014, Neunzig established the Edmonton Chapter of Tetra and, with the help of dedicated volunteers, has been supporting communities in the area, such as Camrose (Centra Cam project) ever since. The swing was designed by Jenelle Clark, a mechanical engineer who volunteers for Tetra. On Sept. 1, the swing was constructed by volunteers from Zetsen Master Builders of Camrose, Kelly’s Handyman Service from Rosalind and Derek’s Framing (Co. Number 1415093 AB Ltd.) Other donations towards the swing included 50 per cent of the lumber costs from Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre and donations through Battle River Community Foundation. For more information about Centra Cam Vocational Training Association visit the website at www. centracam.ca/ or telephone 780-672-9995.

City of Camrose tends to Naturalization brown patches Submitted The City of Camrose is working hard to become more environmentally friendly and fiscally responsible. Throughout the past few years the City has been naturalizing certain sections of the city. Naturalization is an alternative landscape management technique allowing the landscape to become more natural by planting trees and shrubs that are natively found in Alberta while reducing the time spent manicuring it. The city will continue to maintain the areas by spot mowing and spraying weeds where necessary and maintaining walking paths. “Eventually the long grass will choke out the weeds and the final effect will be beautiful and natural landscape with very minimal upkeep,” said City of Camrose parks director Chris Clarkson. However, this past week, the city crew accidently sprayed larger than necessary areas, which left brown patches. The City of Camrose Parks crew has cleaned up the dead weeds and dead grass and will work to ensure the grass returns to these spots. The natural grass is already beginning to grow through. For more information contact Chris Clarkson at email clarkson@camrose.ca or telephone 780-672-9195.

Working on Canada’s public accounts By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

It has been great travelling around our riding of Battle River-Crowfoot this summer attending functions and meeting with many constituents. As your voice in Parliament, I look forward to hearing more from you in the few weeks remaining before the House of Commons reconvenes in Ottawa on Sept. 19. The work of a Member of Parliament sometimes requires an MP to fulfill duties outside of the Parliamentary precinct in Ottawa and outside of the riding. Recently, I attended the Conference of the Canadian Council of Public Accounts Committees in Yellowknife, NWT. This conference takes place once a year and invites representatives from Public Accounts committees in all of Canada’s provinces and territories. The Conference is hosted by a different city each year. The reason I am attending this Conference is because representatives from the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee also participate. As a member of the Official Opposition party in Parliament, I was elected by fellow MPs from all parties to Chair the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts. This committee is one of the very few in our Parliament that is required to be chaired by a member of the Official Opposition in the House. The goal of our Conference is to share best practices. We hear information and learn about the experiences and progress of Public Accounts committees from all across the Commonwealth nations and our own provincial and territorial legislatures. Not all Public Accounts committees are alike. There are different procedures and methods that governments have in place for audits to be conducted on the activities of the departments that implement their policies. The goal of Public Accounts committees is always to try and assist governments in the expenditure of taxpayers’ money and make recommendations on improvements. We also wield a measure of accountability and bring transparency to the work of the federal government. This is one committee that best performs its duties when acting in a non-partisan manner. As chair of the Public

Exhibition games allow Kodiaks to prepare for upcoming season By Murray Green

Accounts committee, my duty is to oversee the committee’s deliberation on the Public Accounts of Canada and the Reports of the Auditor General of Canada. The Public Accounts of Canada is a three volume document that publishes annually the federal government’s revenues, expenditures, budgetary balance, liabilities, assets and accumulated deficit. The Auditor General formally reports to Parliament four times a year and in each report there are separate chapters that audit the performance of specific activities of the federal government. The majority of our committee’s meetings deal with these individual chapters. We hold hearings and invite the Auditor General and federal departmental officials to discuss the findings of the audit. Our committee then prepares a report that the chair tables in Parliament. This report makes recommendations to the government based on our findings, having heard testimony from witnesses on a particular chapter (audit) in the Auditor General’s Report. I am pleased to report that at the Conference, we heard that Canada’s Public Accounts committee has earned a reputation of leadership when it comes to strengthening and developing the work of these committees. Over the past several years, Canada has made a substantial contribution to improving the procedures and methods utilized by Public Accounts committees throughout the Commonwealth and even here at home by sharing our information with our provincial and territorial governments.

The Camrose Kodiaks exhibition season continues with a three game series with Sherwood Park. Games in Camrose are at 7 p.m. on Sept. 9 and 10. The Kodiaks lost 2-1 to the Spruce Grove Saints in a close contest, Sept. 1. Mackenzie Bauer notched the only tally for the Kodiaks. Camrose out shot the Saints 42-31, but the goalies played well. Patrick Gora of the Kodiaks stopped 29 of 31 shots. Sherwood Park Crusaders scored first, but the

Kodiaks netted seven of the next goals to win 7-2 on Aug. 31. Liam Motley led the offence with two goals and three assists including securing a penalty shot marker. Colin Schmidt with two, Jacob Kendall, Cooper Johnson and Angus Scott collected the other tallies. Gora, with 13 of 14 saves, and Parker Waseylenko, nine of 10 saves, shared the goaltending duties. In the first meeting between Spruce Grove and Camrose, the Saints won 9-4 in a more wide open affair.

Kyler Kupka opened the scoring 57 seconds in and he added another early in the second to start the Kodiaks offence. Matt Froehlick and Ryan Rebelato supplied the other goals. Joey May stopped 21 of 25 shots and Josh Breznik turned away 17 of 22 shots in a rough game for the netminders. The regular season will be launched on Sept. 16 with the Drumheller Dragons here for a 7 p.m. start. The following night, Sept. 17, the Okotoks Oilers provide the opposition.

WAR BUNKER

Submitted Fred Armbruster, executive director and founder of the Canadian Civil Defence Museum Association, has a particular interest in preserving Canada’s Civil Defence Cold War History. In recent visits to Camrose he’s made some compelling discoveries. Armbruster stands in front of one of the massive boilers, which were part of the Camrose local Civil Defence communications bunker, developed in the 1950s. Although most of the original artifacts were removed from the bunker, it remains architecturally true to its’ original design. Preserving Cold War history has largely been overlooked over the past half century, something that the CCDMA is hoping to change as it works toward collecting and exhibiting memorabilia. The site is not open to the public.

2016 Ford Focus Attract attention on the road Matt McLeod Sales Associate

By Murray Green

The 2016 Focus available at Lamb Ford Sales attracts attention where ever you drive it. It has been a popular small size sedan since it went into production. “It may be small in size, but it has a lot to offer in terms of performance, technology and safety features. The combination of compelling, modern design and the most high-tech interior in the class appeals to contemporary customers, who desire a small car with very sophisticated features,” said Lamb Ford sales associate Matt McLeod. “What makes Focus so attractive to consumers today – being great to drive, delivering exceptional fuel economy and value, and offering leading-edge in-car technologies – is amplified with the Focus.” Focus ST features an aerodynamic sporty hood and grille, quad-beam

HID headl i g h t s with LED signature lighting and rear lamp clusters. The Focus ST includes 18-inch grey or black aluminum wheels. Inside, colours and materials have a clean, modern look, with satin chrome detailing, new seat trims, switches and an available heated steering wheel. Storage includes a centre console incorporating adjustable cupholders, and an easy access glove box. Features including the Matt McLeod Sales Associate

S Y NC communications system that helps keep you connected and the rearview camera that helps you see what’s behind your vehicle were designed to do more than complement your drive – they make it more convenient. The rearview camera appears on either a 4.2 inch screen or an eight inch screen that comes with SYNC 3 equipped cars.

The new design is very easy to use with new features and a new interface. SYNC 3 brings the power of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which allows for use of Siri Eyes Free, talk to Google, Apple Maps and Google Maps. With SYNC Connect, you can stay connected with your vehicle no matter where you are. You can schedule a specific time to start remotely, you can lock, unlock and locate your vehicle all from your smartphone. “The available Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) uses rear radar sensors to help warn you when a vehicle is detected in your blind spot. And cross-traffic alert can help warn you of vehicles approaching from either side when you’re slowly backing out of a parking space. Should a Focus driver start to drift out of the current lane without a turn signal on, the system provides a warning through a series of steering wheel vibrations that mimic a rumble strip,” added McLeod “Focus has always been a fun car to drive. The SE EcoBoost package centres on the available 1.0L EcoBoost I-3 engine—an

engine t h a t ’ s small, but packs enough punch to handle almost any driving situation powerfully and efficiently,” explained McLeod. The 1.0 litre EcoBoost engine is proof that excellent fuel economy and performance can come in one package. Focus is already known for bringing together efficiency and fun, and the latest addition will bring consumers a whole new level of enjoyment. The standard 2.0L TiVCT I-4 engine is flexfuel capable, so you can use either unleaded, E85 or any combination of the two. A six-speed automatic transmission is available. The unique sport suspension offers excellent handling without sacrificing power. The 2016 Ford Focus comes with AdanceTrac ESC with anti-lock brake system which uses technology to constantly monitor road conditions and driver responses by adjusting engine power and applying ABS to help keep you safe. You can see the 2016 Ford Focus at Lamb Ford Sales, 3771-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-6722411 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

T ha n k Y ou J enn! Jenn is celebrating her 10-year anniversary at The Auto Shoppe

We met Jenn Stone 10 years and two months ago and it didn’t take us long to realize she was the lady that could help us achieve our dream of building the best body shop in Central Alberta. Jenn started out doing accounting, answering phones, etc. Within months, we were in our new shop and she worked with Gord designing systems and creating and achieving goals. Nothing we throw in front of Jenn goes without her full attention and she constantly delivers in spades. We have gone through a lot in ten years and we are proud to call her our friend.

In 2014, passenger cars, mini-vans/SUVs and pick-up trucks/vans were the vehicles most frequently involved in casualty collisions. Tractor-trailers accounted for 2.2 per cent of vehicles in casualty crashes, but 10.1 per cent of vehicles in fatal crashes. “Trucks are not large cars. Whether they are accelerating, braking, climbing a hill, switching lanes or turning onto a side street, big trucks must regularly perform certain maneuvers that drivers of passenger vehicles are generally not familiar with,” said Alberta Transportation regional traffic safety consultant Becky Oxton. From 2010-14, 2,594 truck tractors were involved in casualty collisions in Alberta. There were 230 people killed and 3,021 people injured in these collisions. In 2014 alone, there were 57 people killed and 633 injured in collisions involving truck tractors. The occupants of a passenger vehicle are more likely to be seriously injured or killed in a crash with a large vehicle because of the physical differences in weight, stopping distance and rollover potential. In 2014, the condition of the truck tractor driver was a contributory factor for 4.2 per cent of the drivers involved. No truck tractor drivers were reported by police as having consumed alcohol. Truck tractor drivers were more likely to have been fatigued or asleep at the time of the crash. Trucks will usually swing slightly to the left before making a right hand turn; do not assume the driver is turning left. Leave at least three metres between your vehicle and the rear of a truck

stopped at a light or stop sign, especially on a hill. It is not safe to drive beside a large truck. Trucks have large blind spots and the driver might not be able to see you. Large vehicles take longer to stop than passenger vehicles. This increased braking time is due to a number of factors including the size and weight of the vehicle, condition of the vehicle’s brakes and temperature of the brakes. Visit 511.alberta.ca to provide you with up–to-date road information including traffic delays and construction. There are times when something unexpected occurs that requires you to brake suddenly. If you have an Antilock Braking System (ABS) apply steady firm pressure to the brake pedal. Do not pump or release the brake pedal. Look and steer in the direction you want to go. If you do not have ABS brakes press firmly on the brake pedal to the point just before the wheels lock. Locked brakes can cause you to lose control. If the wheels lock, release the brake pedal to regain steering control. Press the brake pedal firmly again without locking the wheels. Look and steer in the direction you want to go. If you start to skid or lose control take your foot off the brake and/or gas pedal. Look and steer in the direction you want to go. If your vehicle is having mechanical problems that require you to stop, remember the following for your safety: change lanes safely and park in a safe location if possible. Do not stop on a bridge or in a tunnel – this can be very dangerous. If the

vehicle is left in a potentially dangerous location, turn on your hazard lights (four-way flashers). Raise your hood. Carry reflective triangles. On the highway or in a location that is potentially dangerous, wait until it is safe, then place them at the rear of your vehicle about 10 to 20 metres apart. Following too closely, running off the road and making an unsafe left turn are the most frequently identified improper driving actions contributing to casualty collisions. The occurrence of casualty collisions involving truck tractors was highest in the month of September and lowest during April and June. Compared to drivers of other vehicles, truck tractor drivers were more likely to run off the road, make an improper lane change, or pass improperly. However, operators of truck tractors were less likely than other vehicle operators to follow too closely, fail to yield right of way to a pedestrian or make a left turn across the path of oncoming vehicles. “No Zones are a truck’s blind spots. These areas include both sides of the truck not covered by the rear-view and side mirrors, the space immediately in front of and behind the truck and the right front of the cab. These blind spots are much larger than those of a passenger vehicle,” said Oxton. “If you are driving behind a truck and cannot see both of its side mirrors, then you are too close. If you can’t see the truck driver’s face in the side mirrors, they can’t see you.” Additional information and resources can be found on the Alberta Transportation website at transportation.alberta.ca/3.htm.

Drivers need to look out for workers who are behind construction equipment and less visible. Posted speed limits are the maximum speeds permitted if conditions are favourable. Obey all posted speed limits on roads as well as in school zones and playground areas, construction zones, and when passing emergency vehicles. Use common sense – slow down in bad weather, at night, and when driving on poorly lit roads. Slow down on unfamiliar roads. Anyone who accumulates 15 or more demerit points in a two-year period will have his or her licence automatically suspended for one month. At eight demerits, the motorist will receive a courtesy notice. When a driver under the Graduated Driver Licensing program accumulates four or more, but less than eight points, they receive a courtesy

notice of point standing. When an accumulation of eight or more points occurs within a two-year period, a Graduated Driver’s Licence will be automatically suspended for one month. Driving too fast doesn’t allow drivers enough time to react to traffic signals such as red lights or stop signs, or other potential hazards that may be present, like children darting into traffic. If the lights are flashing at a crosswalk, the maximum speed is 30 km/h, even if the pedestrian has finished crossing the road. As long as the lights are flashing, drivers must slow down. When driving through a construction zone, motorists must observe the posted speed limit. When workers are present, the fines for speeding in these areas are doubled.

Motorists urged to slow down as a new school year unfolds By Murray Green

Speed kills. Alberta Transportation reminds everyone to slow down to reduce accidents. Driving a few km/h over the posted speed limit leads to unwanted situations on the road. Speeding reduces your ability to steer safely around curves or objects on the road, decreases your field of vision and your peripheral vision, extends the distance required to stop your vehicle in emergency situations, reduces your ability to obey traffic control devices such as red lights and stop signs, increases the chance that you will lose control of your vehicle, reduces the effectiveness of seatbelts and other safety devices such as airbags and side impact beams, increases the probability of death or injury if there is a crash, and reduces the effectiveness of roadside hardware such as barriers, crash cushions and bridge rails.

“Almost three out of every 10 fatal crashes are the result of driving at a speed unsafe for the prevailing road conditions,” said Becky Oxton, regional traffic safety consultant for Alberta Transportation. The speed limit in both urban and rural school zones is 30 km/h and is in effect on school days from 8 to 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3 to 4:30 p.m. unless other times are posted by the municipality. The speed limit in a playground zone is 30 km/h and is in effect from 8:30 a.m. to one hour after sunset. A vehicle is not permitted to pass another vehicle travelling in the same direction in either school or playground zones during the times these zones are in effect. Motorists must slow to 60 km/h, or less if the posted speed is lower, when passing emergency vehicles or tow trucks stopped with their

lights flashing. Fines for speeding in these areas will be double the regular amount. If there are two or more traffic lanes in the same direction as the emergency vehicle or tow truck, passing vehicles need only slow down in the lane immediately beside the stopped emergency vehicle. Vehicles travelling in other lanes, including oncoming lanes, may maintain their speed but should proceed with caution. Emergency vehicles include fire, police, ambulance, tow trucks, and a vehicle used by a gas disconnection unit of a public utility or a designated emergency response unit. In construction zones, motorists must observe the posted speed. When workers are present, fines for speeding in these areas will be doubled. This is where workers are on or near the road, operating heavy equipment, directing traffic, or using hand tools within the construction zone.

Helping those in need By Bruce Hinkley, Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA

Congratulations to the Earl Runte family which has been awarded an Alberta Century Farm and Ranch Award celebrating the family’s 100th anniversary on their family farm. Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier stated: “The farming and ranching community in Alberta has been built by generations of hard working Albertans who are devoted to agriculture, family and their rural communities.” For 100 years, this family has cared for the land, and helped to build a vibrant and sustainable agriculture industry in our province. The resourcefulness and determination of Alberta’s farm and ranch families have helped position our agriculture sector as an integral part of a diversified and sustainable Alberta economy. Two recent announcements for job creation pertain to drilling investments which will help increase jobs in the remainder of 2016 under the Modernized Royalty Framework; and one about Alberta’s provincial park system will receive a $239 million injection of funds over the next five years. A $1 million grant is being provided to support farm families with irrigation investments to improve water management, environmental sustainability and agriculture. Health Minister Hoffman has announced that Covenant Health and Alberta Health Services will be starting the redevelopment in Killam of the current 45 longterm care beds to an operation of 50 continuing care beds. This project will go a long way to meeting the current and future needs of the community. Hoffman also announced $1.95 million grant for the Alzheimer’s Society of Alberta which will be used to continue support for people living with dementia. Some specific recent grants to our constituency include: $3 million to the City of Camrose for the Aquatic Centre upgrades; $2,165,000 for road and bridge replacements and another $1 million for road rehabilitation. Also, to our constituency from the First Nations Development Fund is $1,479,106 for celebrations, housing, community initiatives and peacekeepers. For neighbours in the County of Ponoka $1,579,403 was given for the Menaik Road widening and another $1.5 million for Range road 43 reconstruction. Rarely, would I quote Calgary Herald reporters but this time I will: “That’s how the NDP sees the world – from down below. After decades with a government that was more comfortable with a corporate view, it takes getting used to.” Yes, it will take some people time to get used to our new,

progressive government. We will not be a four year wonder. Our support is still greater than each of the opposition parties. Don Braid (of the Herald) also wrote: “They (NDP) believe economic power starts at the bottom. They (NDP) would rather see an extra dollar in a single mom’s purse than a million in a CEO’s portfolio.” Yes, we promised to support families and Braid lists some of those examples: “The PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) dispute is just the most dramatic example of this instinctive sympathy for the underdog. More than a dozen policies reflect this, in every area from the workplace to the marketplace, from worker safety and consumer rip offs to relations with First Nations. This includes minimum wage hikes; strict new controls on predatory payday loans; child tax benefits; investigating the Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council; the controversial farm safety bill; a review of condo deals; allowing victims of family violence to break residential leases; an apology to victims of mistreatment in residential schools; recognizing gender identity and expression; and a postsecondary tuition freeze.” I would like to close with a few more myth busting comments. Myth: Alberta NDP is killing the coal industry. Fact: a quote from former Prime Minister Stephen Harper: “We are phasing out in Canada through regulations, we are phasing out the use of traditional dirty coal. It’s going to go to zero in the next 15 years or so.” Twelve of 18 coal-fired plants have already been closed. The plant at Hanna was already scheduled for closure in 2026. What our government is doing is taking leadership in replacing that lost energy source with “renewable energies” which will create jobs and reduce our electrical costs. Coal is not king. I am proud of our Climate Leadership plan because even though China and United States produce more pollution that we do as a country our per capita rate of polluting emissions is equally high. It is irresponsible and unacceptable to believe that because other countries are polluting we should do nothing ourselves. It is better to be a leader in reducing carbon emissions than to make excuses that we cannot help. Linear assessments will be lost under the NDP (myth). Fact: it is still part of the new Municipal Government Act proposal. I will have an update on our education funding and projects as we get ready for another great year of school and learning. For example, we are opening about 30 new schools this fall. Yahoo! Take care everyone.

Lorene Mae (Fabrizius) Pinno called to her eternal home on September 4, 2011 Five years crammed full with the absence of your presence. Five years of enabling grace to look up and accept with thanksgiving the daily draughts of loss. Five years of excruciating physiotherapy learning to walk again, live again, alone. Five years of experiencing the carrying on eagle’s wings, peopled through with Hurs and Aarons, Marys and Marthas, Angels attending. Five long years, conquered, completed, with thanksgiving.

February 11, 1928 ~ August 29, 2016 George Arthur Orr was born on February 11, 1928 in Camrose to A. W. (Jack) and Bertha Orr of the Rosalind/ Kelsey area, the second of eight children. He passed away on August 29, 2016 at the age of 88 years. George went to school at Melville and Rosalind and, from 1944 to 1946, attended Olds School of Agriculture. He was an excellent baseball player. In 1956, George married Peggy Weller of the Spring Lake area, and they farmed near Spring Lake, then north of Strome, and later near Ohaton. He sold the farm after they divorced, and took other jobs before buying a hotel at Smith. He sold the hotel and later came back to the home farm in 1979. In this semi-retirement stage, he helped brother Neil on the farm and took other casual jobs, cooked for his dad, and raced in the pony chuckwagon circuit. One of the biggest enjoyments of his life was his horses. In 1990, while at the chuckwagon races in Red Deer, George suffered a severe stroke that left him unable to move. He battled back from that to return home to the farm, and lived independently for the next 26 years. For many years, he continued to take his trailer to many of the races, and was up early to exercise his friends’ horses (tied to his truck). No matter what the weather, George went to the Rosalind Seniors’ Drop-in daily to open up and to start the coffee and, in summers, he had a regular spot at the coffee table with his friends at Double Dam Golf Course. At family get-togethers and visits, George particularly looked forward to seeing the little kids. He displayed his sense of humour right to the end. George is survived by his brothers Chester (Mary Ellen), Melvin (Dorothy) and Neil (Donna); sister Nellie (Don) Zimmer; sister-in-law Connie Orr; and many nieces and nephews, great- and great-great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sisters Laura Sand and Geneva Helmig; brother James; brothers-in-law Howard Sand and Jim Helmig; one nephew; one niece; one greatnephew; and one infant great-niece. A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 7, 2016 from Rosalind Community Hall. Inurnment will take place in Melville Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Battle River Community Foundation – Rosalind Community Fund, Melville Cemetery Fund or to the Alberta Cancer Foundation.

Annelise Kristina Rust

• Legal services associated with probate of the will

November 16, 1989 ~ August 28, 2016 Annelise was born in Winnipeg, MB to Harold and Joyce Rust and spent her first two years in Fergus Falls, MN while her Dad was studying at Seminary. In 1991, they moved to Saskatoon to serve at Rock of Ages Church. During the next ten years there, she was blessed with a brother, Erik, and two sisters, Jenya and Naomi. She had many adventures at a young age with her siblings and close friends, riding bikes, playing softball, tobogganing, and canoeing down the South Saskatchewan River. In 2001, her family moved their adventure to Camrose, AB, where they began ministry at CLBI. Annelise loved sports. She played volleyball, basketball, track and field, and soccer as a Cougar, Trojan or Viking. It was through sports that she made lifelong friends with fellow teammates and coaches. When she wasn’t on the court, she had a passion for music, playing guitar, piano and finding the perfect harmony. Annelise attended CLBI from 2008 to 2010. She did an internship in Worship and Youth Ministry at Faith Lutheran Church in Estevan, SK from 2010 to 2011, and graduated with a CLBI degree in the spring of 2016. While at CLBI, Annelise developed a great passion for worship, the great outdoors, and a deep love for Christ. Annelise’s love for people and learning continued as she attended Augustana, completing a BA in Physical Education, specializing in Outdoor Education. You could often find her drinking coffee in the Forum, leading worship in chapel, working on the Vikes Crew, or preparing for the next outdoor excursion. Annelise had the privilege of helping coach the Women’s Basketball team as well as playing with her sister Jenya on the Soccer team. Once a Viking, always a Viking. Annelise was a fan of the simple things in life, a strong cup of coffee, time in the wilderness, and catching up with friends and family. She had a deep passion for camp ministry, working with kids and youth everywhere she went. She lived life to the fullest, keeping God at the center of her joy-filled, generous life. We will all miss her big smile and contagious laugh.

Ethel Candlish, 97 years of age, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2016 at Daysland Hospital surrounded by family. Ethel (Mattis) was born in Bruce in 1919 and took her education at Unity School and the School of Agriculture in Vermilion. After Stewart Candlish came back from the war, he began farming in the Daysland area and rekindled a friendship with Ethel. They were married on a very cold day – January 27, 1949. They had three daughters Myrna (John) Rawe of Strome, Bonnie (Barry) Germaniuk of Coldstream, BC and Rita (Art) Wilderman of Calgary. Their home was full of wonderful times and family gettogethers. Ethel was devoted to her family and always ensured the dinner table was overflowing with incredible food. In 1980, they retired from farm life and moved to Daysland. Stewart passed away in 1996 and Ethel continued to live in her house in Daysland until 2001 when she moved to Providence Place. Ethel’s life was focused around friends and growing family: Marie and Phillip Harty with Ethan, Elizabeth and Austin, Gene and Kelsey Rawe with Grady, Dave Germaniuk, Colin Germaniuk, Paul and Dana Wilderman with Autumn and Adam, Mark Wilderman and Kelly Pomerleau and Erin Wilderman. She maintained contact with all family members and pretty much knew what adventures all of her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren were involved with. Ethel spent many hours volunteering for community activities over the years and will be fondly remembered by fellow UCW members for her energy and devotion. Ethel was a very accomplished and determined lady. She excelled at anything she tried, from wedding cake decoration to sewing. Ethel was also fortunate to be blessed with a universal blood type and was called on many times during the night to rush to the hospital to share her valuable gift for a mother in labor. Ethel had many wonderful friends in the Daysland area and was always interested in what they were doing. Her heart was full of love and one of her common remarks was, “Aw, it is a wonderful life.” Her family will miss her dearly. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Daysland United Church. A private family service will be held at a later date.

Honour your departed friend or relative …with a memorial gift that will do good in their name forever.

Raising awareness for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum By Lori Larsen

BOOK BAGS

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Chester Ronning School pre-kindergarten students Mira Mendoza and Skyla Trehearne, front, play with items in the book bag, while listening to a story from a book supplied by the Camrose and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition. Mom Miracle Mendoza, from left to right, coalition members Kari Cameron, Stacy Graff, Donna Robitaille and teacher Kristin Skoglund all helped with the learning experience. About 400 book bags were delivered to children in the greater Camrose area during the first week of school. The coalition is holding a free train ride day on the Mirror Lake Express near the Bill Fowler Centre on Sept. 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Vital statistics for early childhood development By Lori Larsen The Camrose and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition’s 2014 ECMap (Early Childhood Map) project revealed thought provoking statistics with regards to the development of the average child. The project used the EDI (Early Development Instrument), a standardized tool, to measure the social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of five-year-old children. The study was conducted on all kindergarten children with no physical or mental diagnosis who had been known by the teacher for over a month. Kari Cameron, coordinator of the Camrose and Area Early Childhood Coalition, indicated the two areas that raised concern were physical health and well being and communication and general knowledge as a whole. The numbers as a whole include City of Camrose, Camrose County, Tofield and Bashaw. The results for the physical health and well being survey indicated 74.3 per cent of the children were developing appropriately (25.5 per cent are having some difficulty in one or more areas of EDI), and 64.8 per cent were developing appropriately in communication skills and general knowledge (35.2 per cent are having some difficulty in one or more areas of EDI). “This is an issue,” said Cameron. “These are our (Camrose and area) average children and we now know that one third are not developing appropriately. They are not ready for kindergarten and that’s huge.” There were some specific areas studied for physical health and wellbeing, including: fine and gross motor skills (holding a crayon, climbing stairs); independence in looking after own needs (going to the washroom by themselves); physical preparation for school (being dressed appropriately, well nourished and rested); and ability

to sustain energy levels throughout the school day. The specific areas studied for communication and general knowledge were: the ability to communicate needs and wants in socially appropriate ways; the ability to tell stories and say words clearly; age-appropriate knowledge about life and the world; and the ability to take part in imaginative play. “They are experiencing difficulty in one or more of the areas in physical health and well-being and communication,” continued Cameron. The main purpose of the project was to provide data that supports the fact that parents and communities have the power to shape environments and influence the development of young children. “Educating parents on how to build these better brains. How important it is for the parents/caregivers to be the child’s first teacher, with the importance of reading or telling stories and nursery rhymes,” said Cameron. “It is important to develop all these areas of our children. A lot of families are focused on ABC’s and 123s. Teaching parents about physical, social and emotional development is just as important, if not more. “Children need to be able to make or sustain friends, communicate their needs, use manners, wait in line. And the adult is the child’s best teacher.” A child’s physical health and wellbeing also has a great deal of impact on appropriate development. “Teaching children how to throw a ball develops those muscles which can affect whether they are able to skip, shoot a hoop or even row,” explained Cameron. “Learning to cut with scissors can develop core strengths such as learning to turn a page or getting dressed. “Physical literacy is a big thing and we know fresh air is the best medicine for mental health and well-being.” By providing community assets such

asparks,forests,rivers,libraries,placesof worship and recreational facilities, communities can promote positive development in children. Supporting initiatives like the Kingman Rink of Dreams is all about community building through the development of children. Providing places outside the family home for children to go in the name of games or recreation has the potential to build on all levels of development. Physical activity is known to hone sharing, teamwork, and organized play skills in children. It improves retention and understanding by producing a protein called BDNF (brain deprived neurotropic factor) and is known to impact mood, motivation and focus in a positive way. Cameron said the 21 member coalition has been sharing the results of the project with community organizations and boards to advocate the importance of providing more recreational facilities and green spaces to children beyond that of organized and structured sport. “Give them a ball or a rope and see where it goes,” commented Cameron. “It does not always have to be organized. In fact, over-organizing can affect well being. Creative imagination needs to be exercised as well.” Children are a community’s future and investing in that future is imperative. “For every dollar invested in the early years there is a seven to eight dollar return on investment,” explained Cameron. Investing in the cost of quality regulated/accredited child care, providing more rights for paternity leave, subsidizing families, offering more incentives for mothers to stay home, and supporting fundraising activities or initiatives like the Kingman Rink of Dreams are some of Cameron’s suggestions. “Building better brains means building better communities,” she said.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is a preventable lifelong disorder that occurs as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure. To raise awareness about FASD and educate the public on the dangers of alcohol consumption during pregnancy Sept. 9 (the ninth day of the ninth month) is designated FASD Awareness Day. In recognition of this day and to spread the awareness further, the Prairie Central FASD Association is hosting a poster contest for anyone ages five to 18-years-old. Each poster must contain the message Alcohol and Pregnancy Don’t Mix in some form. Contestants are encouraged to be as creative as they wish. The first place winner will receive a prize of $350, second place $200 and third place $100. Winning posters will also be posted online and used in future FASD campaigns. Details on how to enter the contest are available on the Prairie Central FASD website at www.prairiecentralfasd.ca. Prairie Central FASD Association executive director Stacy Graff explains, “Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is 100 per cent preventable by abstaining from alcohol during conception and pregnancy. “Many pregnant women, however, are still not aware of the dangers in consuming alcohol or are in need of support to stop or reduce drinking in their pregnancy.” Prairie Central FASD Association offers some tips for not only the pregnant woman, but her friends and family to help support her in avoiding alcohol consumption during her pregnancy. Attend less social events where alcohol will be included. Offer pregnant women non-alcoholic beverages. Hold activities or events that do not include alcohol. Reduce stress by increasing physical activity such as walking or learning relaxation techniques. Talk out worries and ensure rest, proper sleep and healthy eating practices. Remind anyone offering a pregnant woman alcohol that there is no safe time to drink alcohol or a safe amount during a pregnancy. Above all, be supportive. For more information about assessment, prevention or support services available in your area please go to www.prairiecentralfasd. ca. For information related to the provincial FASD Service Networks, please log onto the FASD Cross-Ministry website at www.fasd.alberta.ca.

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.

There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discoloration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If a discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regard to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Vincent Choy at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428.

Utility bills are among the largest expenses homeowners have each month. Trimming utility bills can not only benefit homeowners’ bottom lines, but also be prove beneficial for the environment. Fortunately, homeowners can take several steps to reduce unnecessary energy consumption, saving themselves money and helping the planet along the way. Conduct nightly energy audits. Before going to bed at night, homeowners can spend a few minutes walking around their homes making sure all devices, appliances and lights are turned off. Devices left on when not in use may not consume significant amounts of energy on their own, but when many are left on, the resulting energy consumption can be considerable. Unplugging cable boxes each night can save homeowners nearly $20 per box over the course of a year. Unplugging additional appliances each night when not in use can add to those savings while reducing excessive energy consumption. Lower the temperature on your water heater. Water heaters make it possible to take hot showers each morning, but when used improperly, such heaters can be very wasteful. Water heaters set at 48 Celsius will not affect the quality of your daily showers and can help prevent scalding. But water

heaters may be set at 60 Celsius by manufacturers, and that can waste energy and pose a scalding hazard. The cost of bringing fresh water up to 60 Celsius can cost homeowners as much as $400 per year. Setting water heaters to 48 Celsius and lowering that temperature when going on vacation can save homeowners money and reduce the standby heat losses necessary to keep water at 60 Celsius or higher. Clean filters more frequently. It’s easy to forget about filters on heating and air conditioning systems. But forgotten filters could be costing homeowners significant amounts of money. When neglected, HVAC filters accumulate dirt and dust, making systems work much less efficiently than they do when filters are clean. Clean filters once per month to make sure you aren’t wasting money and energy when heating and cooling your home. Monitor your meter. If you are taking steps to reduce energy consumption but your utility bills are staying the same or even increasing, start monitoring your energy meter. Meter readers are not immune to mistakes, and the readings may be incorrect. Jot down the energy consumption figures reflected on your meter, and compare those figures to those on your utility bill, reporting any discrepancies to your utility company.
