Everything from a ukulele session at the Library, to free concerts, to spectacular photography. This is a mere snippet of what you will enjoy at

Alberta Culture Days, in Camrose, from September 30th through October 2nd. Made possible through the generosity of local sponsors and Alberta Culture, an impressive range of activities and entertainment has been scheduled in an effort to make arts and culture available to a broader range of Albertans. The plethora of activities slated for various venues in Camrose also includes a perogy dinner, an opportunity to learn how to crochet, grind grain into flour or invent, using motorized LEGO brick art. Street performers and Machinery Day at the Museum are two more of the additional high profile attractions of Alberta Culture Days in Camrose. For more activities and information, see page 12 of this edition or refer to www.camroseartssociety.ca.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson So what do you want?

So there I was at a favourite restaurant, sitting across from a favourite person, eating my favourite meal, complaining. I noticed and was appalled. I know better. I even teach people about this. And I was doing it anyway, wasting precious time with someone I don’t get to see very often, complaining about a situation that irritated me. *** So why is it that, with a person I treasure, I talked about something that bothered me, rather than all the happy things that I experience every day? I don’t know. But here’s what I do know. When I focus on things I don’t like, I start to see other things I don’t like – and still others! (There’s never a shortage of things not to like!) Focussing on things I don’t like is bad for me. It causes me to get cranky and judgmental, to think the world is awful, to lose hope and optimism, to stop seeing blessings and opportunities. If I don’t pay attention and change gears, focussing on things that bother me can ruin a day, and (I know from experience) if I continue to focus on things I don’t like, I can easily slip into depression and even despair. Not only that, when I’m focussing on things that bother me, I’ve been informed (gently) that I’m not a whole bunch of fun for other people either! All of that may be true for you too. *** This is not about ignoring what needs attention, or pretending everything is fine when it’s not. It is about getting into a positive enough state of mind so we can see positive potential and so we have the capacity and energy to tackle tough challenges. The trick? Ask a different question: If something bugs you, what do you want? Imagine what you do want. And if you let that percolate, quite often you begin to see glimmers of how you can move in a direction more to your liking. *** Research verifies the benefits of focussing on what you do want. For example, in one study, researchers followed up six months after community groups had taken part in a “community improvement” weekend workshop. The researchers wanted to know if anything changed in the community since the weekend event. Here’s the pattern they noticed. Some communities focussed on the problems they wanted to fix in their communities. When researchers contacted them later, it seemed that nothing much had changed in the community. The problems were still there and people couldn’t see that much had changed – except for one thing. During the workshop, people had felt a glimmer of hope but six months later they felt even more discouraged because nothing seemed to change. Other communities spent time at the workshop focussing on what kind of community they wanted to have. At the end of the workshop, their “to do” list was about things they wanted to experience in their community. These communities had the same kinds of problems as the other communities, but they just kind of dealt with the problems on the way to something that excited them. They reported positive changes in the community since the weekend event and they felt a sense of momentum. *** In a book called “Leading from the Emerging Future” by Otto Scharmer and Katrin Kaufer, the authors talk about “being pulled forward” by a positive future. When I think about it, I’ve had that experience – imagining something wonderful, and then noticing possibilities I didn’t see before even though they were right in front of me all along. A Sufi expression says, “What you seek is seeking you.” *** Here’s what I’ve learned in more than seven decades. What you focus on expands. If you focus on things that irritate you, you get more things that irritate you. If you focus on things that delight you, you get more things that delight you. Pay attention to what you’re paying attention to, because it will expand. And even when you know that, you sometimes forget. Sigh. Catch yourself and move on. *** 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. Council decisions

I was privileged to attend a city of Camrose council meeting last week. Having some experience as a town councillor in Bashaw I was appalled at the action of our city councillors. They passed a reading of a payment of $19,000 of your tax monies for sound suppression on a backup generator for the new City Hall in one sitting. That’s right the first, second and third reading of this was passed in one vote. The person promoting this corrective action could not guarantee this change would suppress the sound effectively, but the money is being spent regardless. There were no questions raised as to who was requesting this noise issue to be attended to. I had the opportunity to speak to a resident in the immediate area of the city hall location, she didn’t know that a backup generator existed. These are your tax dollars that are

being spent by the current City council members. About $19,000 is what some minimum wage earners earn in a year; to them that’s a lot of money and they work hard to earn it. I attended the meeting in anticipation of finding out what council’s thoughts were on the Naturalization Program. This issue was discussed prior to the meeting open to the public. A huge thank you to Mayor Norm Mayer, as he asked Hugh and myself to speak on behalf of the program after the meeting was adjourned (nothing was recorded as the meeting was adjourned). Council listened to our impromptu concerns (neither Hugh or myself were prepared to speak to council) but we did address some of the major concerns. Whether council will consider the issues stated will be determined at a later date. Recently I was approached by a concerned parent in Camrose to look at a situation which exists in our city that is somewhat disturbing. In our city school zones, we have flashing lights at two schools out of 10 school zones that have flashing lights at critical times during the day when the students are at risk. These are our most important renewable resources – our children and grandchildren. I must admit that a posted sign to me is complacent as we have signs everywhere and I rarely look

at them, a terrible fault of my driving habits. Some people become complacent and rarely notice the signs. A flashing light is noticeable and will alert a driver of a vehicle that caution is required. At the corner of 48 Avenue and 56 Street we have solar powered crossing lights to alert drivers of a person crossing the roadway. Why can’t we have the same at the school pedestrian crossings? We would only be protecting our most valuable renewable resource; our children and grandchildren. I would consider that money well spent. I’ve been around long enough to know that you can’t please everybody all of the time, but you should be accountable for your actions and decisions. I urge all residents and taxpayers to attend these city council meetings and see for yourself how you are being represented by the elected council. Simply amazing. One final thought; as mentioned to me by my neighbour (Joan Cunningham), this city we live in is large enough to have elected ward zones established. We need to be able to address the current council members of certain concerns within an accountable area in the city, The current system does not address this situation. We don’t have an area dedicated council member to address our concerns to. Rodger Banack, Camrose

Better Hearing is more than a goal. It’s Claire’s passion! Claire is certified by the Nat National Board of Hearing Inst Instrument Specialists, she’s m a member of The College of Hea Hearing Aid Practitioners of Alb Alberta, the International Hea Hearing Society and the Canadian Hearing In Instrument Practitioner’s S Society.

ou have probably heard of someone referring to a spouse or a loved one as having “selective hearing.” This seemingly innocent comment is often accompanied by a smile and a chuckle but for those who are experiencing difficulty hearing, it is no laughing matter. Buying hearing aids can be an intimidating idea. Where to start? Who do you contact? Will it work? All of these questions come to mind and they might be confusing and overwhelming for those who

are in need of improved hearing, which is so essential to a happy life. Fortunately, Claire Milligan is right here in Camrose to answer your questions and guide you through the steps toward finding hearing aids best suited to your needs and lifestyle.

“Helping people hear better is m passion,” says Claire. “I love my t that every day I am connecting pe people to missed sounds and the expe experiences they provide. I believe better h hearing is a key to a happy and healthy lifestyle.” Claire comes by her passion honestly for providin providing better hearing. Her parents have owned the H & H Optical and Hearing Center in Drumheller for 35 years. Claire grew up hearing stories about how her parents had helped people and she wanted to do the same since she was a young girl. “Helping people hear the world around them more clearly is really not a thankless job,” says Claire. “It’s deeply rewarding to improve a person’s quality of life. When one of my clients leaves with a broad smile because of improved hearing, I am the one who becomes thankful that I have been able to help them.” Claire has seen many changes and significant improvements in the science of hearing aids. “Digital technology has revolutionized the hearing aid industry,” she says. “The science continues to evolve daily.” One of the most significant advancements Claire has seen is in the area of Bluetooth technology, which allows her to monitor a client’s hearing aid experience in real time, helping her understand how a client wants their hearing aid to sound. Amazing. Claire is also looking to use a ground-breaking auditory training program which helps the brain comprehend speech much better in difficult situations such as noisy public settings.

“Essentially, this program will help my clients become better listeners,” she says. The good-natured joking about “selective hearing” will become a thing of the past. Just as physical therapy can help rebuild muscle memory, Claire can help her clients develop skills and learn strategies for dealing with situations when hearing is strained. “My clients come to me expecting performance and reliability from their new hearing aids. I take that responsibility very seriously because the success of the hearing aids is also dependent on me. Hearing aids are not like eyeglasses, they must be fine-tuned, you almost never put them on and simply walk out the door.” If you’re ready to live your life with improved hearing, the path will become much easier for you with Claire at your side. Put her passion to work for you and start hearing the world around you in all it fullness.

CAFCL supports Leaders in Training program “They learned that KidSport Camrose supported individuals in Kandu Summer Camp and the LIT program and wanted to do something in return,” said Froland. The Leaders-In-Training program was initiated by CAFCL in response to advice from parents of youth with special health and/or developmental concerns. As a result of a final review that showed most of the participants made great strides in improving their leadership abilities, CAFCL is hoping to offer the program 12 months of the year, with a more intense, or in-depth component being offered during the summer months. “I was pleased with how the program went and how the participants progressed,” said Froland.

He feels he has made

strides with his writing and reading and his ability to speak in public. “I am hoping to teach children to meet the challenges they will be faced with in their lives,” he said. Kate Smith was attracted to the program partly because of the emphasis it placed on building eye-catching resumes. “I am going to have to start looking for a job pretty soon,” she said, “so I thought it would be good to get some resume advice.” She also learned how to be more patient with those younger than herself, plan ahead for the future and deal with stressful situations. “We did budgeting and a few other things that you have to do as an adult,” she said. Currently enrolled in Grade 11 at OLMP, Smith is planning to go to the University of Alberta when she graduates. “I am probably going to be a psychologist or a counsellor,” she said. “It’s going to be a very interesting road.” Kristy Smith was impressed with the work the youth put into the fundraiser they undertook for KidSport, a Camrose organization that removes barriers that stop youth under the age of 18 from participating in sports, camps and community programs. “They showed a lot of leadership and initiative and did just an awesome job,” said Smith. “You could see how much the program helped them get involved in the community and achieve their potential.”

Two Camrose hair stylists bring home medals from Paris By Lori Larsen

Next time you sit in your hair stylist’s chair think beyond the aspirations you have for your own hair style and imagine the true artists who you trust with this task. Recently Camrose was well represented at the Organization Mondiale Coiffure (OMC), World Hairdressing Championships in Paris, France on Sept. 11 and 12. Attending as part of Team Canada were Camrose’s own Anne Prytullack, Salon One Design owner and master stylist and Van, Evolve Style Counsel owner and master stylist. The team consisted of designer Ken Hiebert from Winnipeg, trainer Lina Shamoun from Kitchener, Ontario, and Anne and Van from Camrose. They competed in the Progressive Ladies Cut on a Mannequin category and managed to walk away with first (Lina), second (Ken), third (Van) and fifth place (Anne.) “The category itself is an individual category; if you chose to go as a team then you’re considered a team,” explained Anne. The team trained three times together in Winnipeg

and Camrose prior to the competition and then did another cut in the hotel room in Paris. “This enabled us to get the line (design) down and work on it,” said Van. The line (design) is created by the designer then perfected prior to the competition by the team as a whole. Competitors have 30 minutes to complete their own individual take on the chosen line before a panel of nine

judges descends on the creations for scoring. “The cut is a bit different for each of us. Some will cut shorter, some left it a little longer. There is a little bit of artistic flare for each and every one of us. They are not going to be identical but as long as they have a cohesive look and the line (design) is the same,” explained Van. Entering the competition as a team was a strategic move in that having a group of four working on the same line created impact and elicited more attention. Van was contacted in June and asked to compete in Paris as part of the team. “I was asked to switch categories and join the team, a like minded group of people who followed the direction and line from our designer. “Our Canadian team actually placed quite high, we blew it out of the water.” This was Van’s first time competing in this category and he brought home the bronze medal. Anne placed fifth in the team competition but also competed as an individual in the Salon Total Look category in which she brought home the gold medal, a first in Alberta.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Anne Prytullack poses with her gold medal mannequin.

“I had to design a line from top to bottom within the category Salon Total Look. Because it is European, I wanted to make sure that I was more haute couture (high fashion.)” Anne had to think outside the box for her entry in the Salon Total Look and drew her inspiration from more European influence. Not only did she design, cut and style the hair but she also did the mannequins makeup and designed and sewed the outfit. “I received a very good

compliment from the Italian judge who couldn’t believe I was from Canada; he said ‘This is Italian haute couture’. That meant to me I created my goal.” Seeing the mannequins for oneself solidifies the passion and dedication these stylists have for the art of their craft, and competing at this level affords them the opportunity to not only shine their own light but learn from other top competitors. “We do this financially on our own,” commented Van. “We enjoy it and it shows passion for our industry and helps us move forward but as fun as this all is, one international competition can cost us between 10 and 15 thousand dollars. “We are always looking for sponsorship. We have to find a better way to encourage the young to step up and replace the ones that are doing it now within our industry and our community. “We don’t have a junior team but we really need to support that aspect of competition,” concluded Van. Anne and Van also completed their Jury Seminar enabling both to be international judges.

Alberta Culture Days celebration honours local arts community By Murray Green

First steps on call to action

Elementary education is one common experience we all share as Canadians—Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal. Many students, most notably Aboriginal students, may disengage from that “mandatory” relationship with one another at school as early as junior high. For many Aboriginal students, the lack of information about, and value of, Aboriginal people in our education systems and curricula is too much, and they Charlene Bearhead leave school very young. That same lack of acknowledgement of—much less respect for—Aboriginal people in our schools means most non-Aboriginal students, teachers and parents don’t really understand how significant this is or why it even matters to them. As educators, we have the honour and the opportunity to shape the views of children during their time spent in school. We can facilitate the understanding of truth and the development of respectful relationships in our classrooms. School administrators have a responsibility to support teachers in this important work and expand upon it by fostering respectful relationships to the greater school community and an acknowledgement of Indigenous place. There’s a lot to consider: the importance of teaching the truth about Indian Residential Schools, acknowledging and respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis culture and history, enacting social justice, and engaging in reconciliatory actions. Teachers are often perplexed about where to begin. When discussing the importance of the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, even the most dedicated teachers often ask, “What can I do with my students to get started?” This is not a short-term project: this is who we are as neighbours, colleagues, school mates, and families in community. We have the privilege of living during a time when we can redefine what has been the darkest part of being Canadian. There are some fairly easy things that each of us can do in our schools and our classrooms to inspire our children to seek truth and live reconciliation. First, we need to verbally acknowledge traditional territory. Students should be encouraged to seek out what would be the best way to acknowledge the traditional territory where they live and upon which their school stands. Start every morning by making a statement of acknowledgement in your classroom and have students take turns doing the acknowledgement. Better yet, have students request that whomever does the daily school announcements begin with an acknowledgement of the people of the territory. School assemblies, gatherings, and staff meetings should all begin with this verbal acknowledgement. Second, we must fly the flag. Every school has at least one flag pole in front of its buildings. For the most part, the flags that are honoured are those of Canada and the province. Every single school in Alberta is located on Treaty 6, Treaty 7, or Treaty 8 territory. As a start, we can fly the flag of our respective treaty areas. From there, your school may decide that it should also fly the flag of the Métis Nation, a local First Nation, or a neighboring Inuit community if you are teaching in the north of Canada. Third, we must visually acknowledge truth, territory, and people: Upon entry to any Canadian school, it should be clearly indicated that the members of that school community acknowledge the wrongs in our history perpetrated through education and that they recognize the people of the territory. This could be done by displaying Canada’s statement of apology to former students of Indian Residential Schools (available online) near a visual representation of the Aboriginal people upon whose traditional territory we live. These “little things” open the doors to what may lie ahead. They are things that we experience every day as we spend our time together in schools. They begin conversations, and from there the journey to reconciliation will grow. Charlene will visit Augustana campus for a public lecture and you are invited to register. Course Correction for a Nation: Our Journey from Truth to Reconciliation, Thursday, Sept. 29, at noon, Wahkohtowin Lodge, University of Alberta, Augustana Campus. Register with Deb at augalum@ualberta.ca or by calling 780-679-1105.

Battle River Writers launch new book

By Murray Green

A group of local authors with the Battle River Writer’s Guild will be unveiling a new book filled with historic stories from people who have a connection with the river. The book titled Beauty Everyday: Stories from Life as it Happens will be revealed at the Camrose Public Library on Oct. 1 at 2 p.m. during Alberta Culture Days. The book, edited by Jane Ross, features a collection of about 23 stories, poems and music piece that reflect different memories from people. The book inspires creativity for health through our landscape, our communities and the arts. Mary David, who tells her story through Camrose writer Fay Carlson, and Irene Hewitt, who wanted to share her story with daughter Arlene Woodfine are two of the authors featured. “We started as a support group for those living in long term care and then we met Mary. Then we met Deb Ulrich (who shared her story with Janet Enns) and in the same process we met Irene Hewitt,” explained Jane. “Irene called me one day about something quite different. Her pharmaceuticals were changed without her knowledge. I found out that she was a journalist going blind and she said to me ‘if I can’t write again, I will die.’ I was stunned for a moment and then told her she can think and I will write.” Unfortunately, Irene died on the last day of the project. “We became very interested as a group, to explore how some people overcome adversity. What is adversity all about in human experiences. The book is a collection of various stories about adversity, but they have a connection to the Battle River area,” indicated Jane. “The other side of adversity is adventure and everyone has an adventure they like to talk about.” To start with 1,000 copies were printed, but already 600 have been sold prior to the launch and without marketing. The book is available locally at Sacred Arts, Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce and through the writers. “The afterward is written by Joe Martin, the former dean of medicine at Harvard University, who came from a farm from just south of us. Harvard said he was the best dean they ever had and he was a brain scientist. He received his inspiration from watching alfalfa in the fields,” Jane shared. “I started writing to get rid of some built up stress,” said Mary. “It was a way to share my stories with my children and grandchildren. One day I was jumping on a trampoline with my grandchildren and the next day I couldn’t get up off the floor.” Mary suffered a stroke and temporarily lost her ability to speak. “I went from zero

to 90 words a minute and haven’t quit talking since,” she joked. “Jane asked me to write about my stroke and what I had to do to overcome it.” That’s when Fay decided to help Mary. “She told me her life story and I sorted it out and wrote it down. I called it Life as a Quilt because her story had so many colours,” said Fay. Mary, originally from Drumheller, lived in several countries when her husband who worked in the oil field. “In the late 50s my mother was a single parent and worked as a waitress. My grandmother and my uncle helped mom raise us three children. We would do anything for our mom, she was wonderful. I raised my own three children and my nephew and a grandson,” said Mary, who was born on Mother’s Day. Her message is not to take each day for granted. “Be ever thankful for each day you have in the world because you never know what is around the corner. There is always something you are not expecting,” she said. “I was overweight, but lost 100 pounds before I moved to Camrose. I used to walk 10 miles a day. I quit smoking too.” People have different ideas of what her life was like. “It opened the eyes of my sisters too. There is nothing more important is this world than your family,” said Mary, who also used to work for Beth Fowler the daughter of Berdie

and Bill Fowler of the Camrose Booster. “My mother was very ill when I was in high school. I told the school I was quitting to go to work in place of my mother to support the family. Principal said you must be pregnant to quit school, so I must be pregnant. I said no, I have to work in place of my mom. The school sent social services to our home and started to poke and prod. My mom showed them the door and the priest as well. That was kind of funny. He wanted some of her money to go to the church and my mother was making $0.65 an hour and had four mouths to feed. She asked why the church wasn’t helping her, showed him the door and asked that he didn’t come back again,” recalled Mary. Arlene shared her mother’s story. “She was a writer and sold stories to Reader’s Digest (and about 24 other magazines). She wrote a lot of short stories about her five children and one about Mr. Steinway, the piano. She wrote about a cyclone that hit our area and her writing is such a treasure and humourous,” said Arlene. “She wrote a moving story about a handicapped boy who everyone liked, but that changed as he became a man that people left alone. My mother was an advocate for trying to change things for the better. She was a pen pal for more than 45 years to a priest in Bangladesh, who send information on

what was really happening in the conflicts within Pakistan.” Irene was interviewed by the CBC and W5 about her investigative stories was injustice in her community and abroad. “She was well ahead of her time. Now we have Aboriginal Day and things to honour the native people. She was advocating for things like that 50 to 60 years ago. She was not popular because of it and we lived in a small town,” recalled Arlene. “We were called Indian lovers as a derogatory term. My mother taught us that they were people.” Irene was also a teacher and involved in human rights before it was popular. “I remember her typing on the typewriter non stop. When she was 21, my mother worked at a war plant in Montreal. She also received a scholarship to the University of Saskatoon to play tennis. These are things that we learned about later in life as she shared her stories.” As a seven-year-old, Irene wanted to see what was under the surface of water in a lake. “That really describes her, because no matter what the topic, she always wanted to know what was under the layers and she saw what was underneath,” explained Arlene. “Her mission later in life was to help seniors. I remember her saying how a man came to her to talk about breakfast. Everyone had the same thing, but all he wanted was a piece of toast. My

mother had toast (gluten free) because she couldn’t have what the others were eating. This man said I really would like to have toast, but workers told him he was having muffins and yogurt. The man was a Second World War veteran and she said if he wanted toast, he should have been offered toast. Those are the things she fought for,” added Arlene. “Those things didn’t make her popular, but she fought injustice.” Irene was proud to meet Jane and was thankful she could write again through her. “This project has opened the door to see the lives of people in long term care. Often they go in struggling with health issues and they are only seen in that light,” said Jane. “This book shows that these are people with stories to tell. It opens up conversation with other residents.” People from around the world want to read about the stories. Jane and Jack Ross are currently promoting the book in Australia with several (about 14) organizations inviting her to present the book and also present at a conference. “Little did we expect when we started the project, that it would have such far reaching appeal. The stories are definitely worth peoples’ interest. I am so impressed by our Battle River Writers,” said Jane.

Joy Specialist offers renewed outlook at aging gracefully By Camrose Seniors Coalition

The Joy Specialist is coming to celebrate Seniors Day on Nov. 4. A published author, retired teacher and former international businesswoman currently known as “the Joy Specialist” will be the afternoon speaker at this year’s Celebrating Seniors Day. Edmontonian Rosabelle Daugela takes delight in entertaining with energetic original stories in a light-hearted manner sure to ignite the spirit and leave people with a renewed sense of joy in life. She has presented to seniors groups, church groups, community groups, financial planners, college administrators and red hat ladies across Alberta and into Saskatchewan. Based on the science of happiness, her presentations include colourful stories, audience participation, timeless wisdom, and practical application all offered with humour in a “from the heart” style (http://www. joyspecialist.com/). Hosted by Camrose Seniors Coalition, the fifth annual Celebrating Seniors Day takes place at Camrose United Church, starting at 10 a.m. and ending around 4 p.m. A delicious hot meal prepared by Prairie Oven – a hit at last year’s CSD – will be served around noon. With information displays to browse throughout the day, opportunities

for fellowship, a morning presentation by Bethany Outreach on understanding dementia, and a visit from the Healthy Living Centre right after lunch to get seniors up and active before settling back down to learn and laugh with Rosabelle, there is sure to be something for everyone at CSD 2016. Tickets are available until Oct. 27 at CDSS (2nd Floor, Camrose Community Centre) or SOS (#102, 4909A-48 Street). Call CDSS at 780-672-0141, or SOS at 780-672-4131 for more information. Why celebrate seniors? Seniors are among our community’s most active residents, volunteering their time, talents and skills to support all sorts of programs and events. They shop in Camrose and host visits from out-of-towners, which is good for our local economy. As grandparents, they help care for grandchildren and keep family history alive as they pass stories on to the next generation. Celebrating Seniors Day is our way of thanking seniors for their contributions, and reminding everyone else that, as our elders age and become less active, they count on us to continue to include and support them as valued citizens of Camrose and area.

Talk to us today about the benefits of pre-planning funeral arrangements. The idea of advance funeral planning is one which many people would rather not think about. However, planning your own funeral is one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones. At a time of grief, your family members will be spared the stress of making important, emotionally draining decisions. Preplanning also ensures your final arrangements will be carried out according to your exact wishes, in a costsensitive manner.

Hunting in full swing By Lori Larsen

Throughout most parts of Alberta hunting season began around the first week of September which, for many hunting enthusiasts, meant taking the camo gear out of the closet, cleaning and safetying firearms and bows and getting decoys and other hunting paraphernalia out of storage. Hunting has been a part of Alberta culture for years and is an integral part of wildlife management. The regulated sport of hunting ensures Alberta’s wildlife populations remain sustainable all the while controlling hunting practices. Licencing

Join AMA today for less than $9/month, and you’ll get 5 roadside saves including boosts, tows, and more. Plus, you’ll save money on the things you need every day.

In Alberta hunters and anglers are required to possess a Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) in order to purchase any wildlife certificates, licences and replacements or apply for special draws. As well, hunters must be in possession of a valid wildlife certificate and all applicable hunting licences or tags for either big game or game birds, which must be carried on their person while hunting.

According to the 2016 Alberta Guides to Hunting Regulations, revenue generated from the sale of hunting licences and WIN cards for 2015-16 totaled approximately $18.8 million. Licence allocation and administration accounted for 28.4 per cent use of the funds, while Alberta Conservation Association levy accounted for 47.1 per cent, Alberta government general revenue accounted for 21.1 percent and 2.2 per cent went towards the Alberta’s Professional Outfitters Society levy.

The majority of hunters are legitimate sportsman who acquire the proper licencing and hunt within Alberta hunting legislation and regulations. Unfortunately, as is the case in many activities, some people chose not to

play by the rules. As a result Alberta Fish and Wildlife officers, among their duties of education, prevention, public safety and human and wildlife conflict management, also perform the duties of enforcement. In the years 2014-15 wildlife officers checked 16,515 hunters. There were 992 wildlife related offenses. The top five offenses included; loaded firearm in a vehicle, unlawful possession of wildlife, hunting without a licence, failure to carry your hunting licence while hunting, and hunting wildlife during a closed season. Notably in 2015, over 3,000 wildlife-related enforcement actions were taken, including investigations and responses to Report a Poacher calls. Report a Poacher

Report a Poacher is an Alberta program consisting of a toll free, 24-hour telephone line available to anyone wishing to report hunting and fishing violations and dangerous wildlife encounters. The line is also available to anyone who witnesses serious public land abuse. The Report A Poacher line is available every day. All calls are kept strictly confidential and callers can remain anonymous. All complaints are directed to Fish and Wildlife Officers, who in turn will respond and investigate. Poaching violations can include hunting or fishing out of season, night hunting, illegal sale of wildlife, hunting from the road and hunting while intoxicated. The toll free number for Report a Poacher is 1-800-6423800. If you feel you have witnessed an incident that may be considered poaching, officers advise recording the exact date and time, place, descriptions of vehicles (including licence plate numbers if safe to obtain), descriptions of people involved, details of the alleged crime and any other activity.

THE KEY TO HIGHER YIELDS IN CANOLA AND SPRING WHEAT For canola and spring wheat growers, making the right investments to achieve higher yields can be tricky. Research on fertility and seed safety shows how MicroEssentials® S15™ could be the right investment for growers in Western Canada.

Spring Wheat Yield Trials The Mosaic Company evaluated the yield response of spring wheat during the 2014 and 2015 growing seasons. The trial compared MicroEssentials S15 (13-33-0-15S) + MOP to MAP (11-52-0) + MOP. MAP is commonly used as a phosphorus (P) fertilizer for spring wheat, and MicroEssentials is a premium P fertilizer that provides two forms of sulphur (S) (sulphate and elemental sulphur) for season-long availability. Spring wheat can also benefit from applications of potassium (K). Both fertilizer blends were applied during preplant and utilized as a broadcast method. In the end, the study showed that when MicroEssentials S15 and MOP were applied, a 7.7 bu/ac increase over nitrogen (N) occurred, and a 2.2 bu/ac increase occurred over MAP + MOP.

Seed Safety Canola is a very sensitive seed when placed in close proximity to N and S fertilizers. Seed-placing P and basing application rates on seed safety rather than crop requirements can have a great effect on growers’ yields. Recent research conducted by the University of Manitoba examined seed-safe rates of phosphorus and sulphur in canola, and found that P applied at rates based on seed safety may not be adequate enough to maximize yields. Hybrid canola requires a higher amount of P and S throughout the growing season. The typical seed-placed rates for canola are 20 to 25 pounds of P2O5/ac and 10 pounds of S/ac. But, a 45-bu/ac crop of canola will remove 36 pounds of P2O5 and 13.5 pounds of S from the field. This means that there is higher uptake of P and S throughout the growing season than put in for a seed-safety rate, and ultimately, under-application of these nutrients will limit yield potential and deplete soil reserves. Seed-placed fertilizers give farmers the benefit of knowing nutrients are available at the start of the growing process. Immobile nutrients, such as P, can be the cause of a poor stand even though they provide the benefit of being easily available to the root right away. Included in the University of Manitoba’s research was MicroEssentials S15. Improved stands and seed safety occurred when MicroEssentials S15 was applied at the same rate as traditional blends, like MAP and AS. Higher rates of phosphorus and sulphur applied with blends accounted for a loss of 11 plants per square meter. MicroEssentials S15 saved nearly 50 percent more plants, with a reduction of only six plants per square meter when applied at the same rates of P and S.

The canola yield trials from 2011–2013 compared MicroEssentials S15 to MAP + ammonium sulphate (AS). A blend of MAP + AS is commonly used as the fertilizer source for canola growers. A proper application of P and S is critical for optimum canola yields. The fertilizer was applied with the seed at planting. Across the three-year trial period, MicroEssentials S15 increased yield by 1.0 bu/ac, 1.6 bu/ac and 3.7 bu/ac, respectively, over MAP + AS fertilizers. The 3.7 bu/ac yield advantage in 2013 demonstrates the superior performance of MicroEssentials under optimum growing conditions.

Uniform Nutrient Distribution Every plant requires adequate nutrient availability to grow and thrive. Picking the right fertilizer source is one of the best ways to get those nutrients to the plants. While fertilizers deliver the nutrients as separate granules, MicroEssentials and its patented Fusion® technology combine N, P and S to ensure uniform nutrient distribution across the field. Uniform nutrient distribution is especially important with micronutrients like zinc, found in MicroEssentials® SZ ™. The proven formula delivers vital nutrients to each and every plant, resulting in higher yields and higher profitability.

Importance of Two Forms of Sulphur MicroEssentials S15 contains two forms of S (sulphate and elemental sulphur), which are important to have available to the plant for the entire growing season. Sulphate sulphur is available to the plant immediately, while elemental S slowly oxidizes and becomes available later in the growing season. This helps provide the late-season requirements for spring wheat and canola.

In the early growth stages, young seedlings need the proper amount of P to reach their full potential. Phosphorus is not only essential for early-season growth and development, but it is also needed throughout the growing season. MicroEssentials’ Fusion technology provides a slight pH decrease around the granule that promotes the formation of dihydrogen orthophosphate and, in turn, increased P uptake into the plant.

Boosting Yields and ROI MicroEssentials helps increase both yield and profitability. Research suggests that up to 60 percent of yield depends on providing adequate balanced crop nutrition. MicroEssentials retailers are equipped with the latest information, data and tools to help you better understand what we can do for your operation and ROI.

Kodiaks’ artists Paint and Score for auction By Murray Green

The players on the Camrose Kodiaks traded in their sticks for paint brushes to create masterpieces for an upcoming auction. Based loosely on the Paint and Sip nights where artists work and drink with a predetermined design, the Kodiaks took part in a Paint and Score event at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre on Sept. 7. “Our main fundraiser was the Spirits of Christmas craft sale and we are no longer doing that,” said Arts Centre art director Jane Cherry-Lemire. “We were trying to think of another fundraiser that we could do. We know that these guys are amazing and the community supports them really well and that Boris is very community minded so I got thinking one day, wouldn’t it be fun if the Kodiaks painted and we auctioned them off at a hockey game?” She mentioned her idea to board member and former Camrose Chamber of Commerce president Jason Heise and he suggested that we talk to Boris (Kodiaks coach Rybalka). “He loved the idea and the boys seemed to be enjoying themselves,” she added. “The boys are going out and finding sponsors. Our goal that we have set is to raise $10,000. That’s 25 paintings at $400, so that is our goal,” said coach Rybalka. “The money is well deserved for what they do in the community. We wanted to support the arts, Jane and

the good programs they have here.” The players painted a hockey likeness of themselves sporting their number, while coach Rybalka painted the Kodiaks’ 20th anniversary logo. “It is interesting listening to their competitive nature and how they want to out-do each other,” he added. “It’s that perfection as an athlete that is cool to see.”

The goalies spoke on behalf of the Kodiaks. “First of all, thank God we’re hockey players and not artists, but they’re doing a great job here and this has been sort of our first full team event, so we’ve all been looking forward to it and it’s great team bonding,” said goalie Joey May. “Not all the time do hockey players get to spend an evening painting, but it’s for a great cause and

obviously the Kodiaks like to get involved in any community activities to support Camrose just as much as Camrose supports us. We are glad to do it and it is lots of fun.” Back in the mind of each player is the fact that they want to be the one raising the most money. “It’s a lot of fun. I expected it to be a lot harder than it was and it’s actually really

easy and a lot of fun. We’re going really slow with the painting and doing a lot of details,” added goalie Patrick Gora. The paintings will be auctioned off at the team’s Oct. 11 game against the Drumheller Dragons. Community members will also paint during the hockey game in a Paint and Sip format. No word as to whether wine is involved.

Buffaloes host full day of football By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes had a spectacular football day on Sept. 18. The bantams started by taking on the Edmonton Seahawks and shut them out in the first half. However, the Seahawks battled back, but were denied the possible winning touchdown when Alex Lawson sacked the Seahawks quarterback in the last few minutes of the game, giving the Buffaloes the win 28-22. The atoms then took the field to showcase six-man football in a white verses red game, with white pulling off the win. On Saturday, the atoms played against Wetaskiwin and lost 5-0. The peewees continued their winning streak with an impressive win over the Wetaskiwin Warriors mounting a score of 54-6. The big winner of the day was the community, as the Buffaloes raised more than $1,500 from the raffle and barbecue to support youth suicide awareness and prevention.

“A big thank you to all the sponsors for the barbecue and donations for the raffles,” said one of the organizers, Rejeanne Matson. “As well, a big thank you to all the fans and community members that came out to support the team.” On Oct. 1, at 12:30 p.m. the peewee Buffaloes host the St. Albert Colts and the bantam team follows at 3 p.m. against the Wetaskiwin Warriors. Camrose teams are in the Capital District Minor Football Association league and play several home and away games. You can follow the Buffaloes or sign up for the team on the website http:// www.camrosebuffaloes.com and receive more information. The next home series is on Oct. 16 at 12:30 p.m. with the peewee Buffaloes playing the Sherwood Park Sabrecats and at 3 p.m. the bantam Buffaloes host Fort Saskatchewan.

NO WHERE TO RUN

MonkeyJunk returns to Bailey Theatre

Alberta ®

By Murray Green

MonkeyJunk has won more than 20 Maple Blues awards and have a Juno to their credit. MonkeyJunk is pretty much blues royalty in Canada. The band returns to the Bailey Theatre for a show on Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. “We played the Bailey about two years ago and it was one of the best shows that we did,” recalled band leader Steve Marriner. “Alberta is our favourite place to play.” The last time through, they featured songs from their fourth album, Moon Turn Red, that expanded their show past the traditional blues styles they already explored and into some more mainstream guitar rock sounds. Practically all of the album was a smooth mix of electric blues and gritty rock with a bit of soul thrown in for good measure. MonkeyJunk is on the verge of releasing a new album, Time To Roll, shortly after the Camrose concert. However, local music fans will be treated to songs from the new album. “In a way, this tour will be a CD release party. The tour has changed this year to reflect more of a turn back to our roots of blues. We looked at what people like and set out to do more of that,” said Marriner. “Most of our directional moves haven’t been planned. The first couple of albums, we weren’t quite sure what instruments to stick with and what songs to use. It has become more focused. We still patchwork some things together and when it does, we record it.” He moved to Toronto, while his band mates still call Ottawa home. “It makes practising a little more difficult, but we were never really big on practicing as a group anyway. We practice before we record and again before shows on tour. We have played together for eight years, so we have a natural tightness,” he explained. “If you rehearse it to death then it sucks the joy out of it.” With the band members involved in several projects, it offers some time management. “Scheduling can be a challenge. It is difficult to maintain a steady even pace.” MonkeyJunk is eager to play at The Bailey Theatre again. “Camrose is not a giant community, so it is nice for the area to have that kind of a venue. It is a great place for various artists to come in and put on a show, who might not otherwise stop in if the facility wasn’t there,” said Marriner. “The old-time vibe makes it a good place to play. It is brimming with character.” In 2008, MonkeyJunk, started in Ottawa as a trio, creating a refreshing blend of swamp-rock roots and blues. MonkeyJunk quickly became one of the most popular new bands on the scene. They performed at festivals and packed venues across the country, amassing a large audience of devoted fans. In fact, they hit the road for a tour before their debut album Tiger In Your Tank was even released. These are three musicians who individually had established careers prior to forming MonkeyJunk. Steve Marriner, the trio’s vocalist, baritone guitarist, harmonica and organ player, was well known as the go-to guy as a producer, sideman and session player. He is also the consummate musical networker and stage guest having been invited to join many artists in concert such as Randy Bachman, Colin James and Big Sugar. At the age of 19, lead guitarist Tony D performed for three nights in Buddy Guy’s band. In 1982, he opened for Stevie Ray Vaughan. These events helped to propel him into a long-standing career with his own popular project, The Tony D Band. He has also toured with some of this country’s greatest musicians, including the late Dutch Mason. Before MonkeyJunk, drummer and percussionist Matt Sobb was a very busy session drummer around Ottawa. Over the last 24 years, he backed up several regional, national and international artists on stage, touring and in the studio, including Kim Wilson (Fabulous Thunderbirds), Jeff Healey, and Tom Wilson (Blackie and The Rodeo Kings). 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 780-672-5510.

The tour moved to a math class in session where students were given an opportunity to ask some very well thought out questions of Eggen. The entourage moved on to the band room where they listened to two performances by the band including the National Anthem. The tour continued with visits to other classrooms highlighting Charlie Killam’s FLEX and RISE programming. “I was so pleased to see the inclusive school environment set up at École Charlie Killam,” said Eggen. “The school’s FLEX program supports students with behavioural or mental health concerns, while the RISE program (Reaching Independence through Structured Education) provides support to students with severe medical or cognitive disabilities. “By emphasizing the development of literacy and numerary skills, and the application of academic, social and life skills in the classroom, school and community, these students are being given the tools they need to succeed in and out of school. “I have nothing but praise for the teachers and other staff who are meeting the needs of these students by delivering this important programming,” remarked Eggen.

Scout style. The barrel on BLR Takedown models is factory drilled and tapped for an optional Browning forwardmounted scout-style scope base to provide a rock-solid optics mounting platform, allowing you to remove the barrel for transportation and storage without losing your scope’s zero.

2017 Ford Fusion Styled to stand out Dan Madison Sales Associate

By Murray Green

The newly restyled 2017 Ford Fusion offers responsive power, smart technology and more satisfying features than ever before. “Fusion offers people a lot more car – including helpful technology, beautiful design and a more rewarding driving experience than other midsize sedans,” said Lamb Ford Sales Camrose sales consultant Dan Madison. The Fusion offers plenty of choice with four engines. The new potent 325-horsepower 2.7 litre V6, 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine 2.0 litre and a 1.5 litre offer a no-compromise combination of power and efficiency. “The suspension system delivers a smooth ride, while Enhanced Active Park Assist System offers help in parking. For added peace of mind, the available Intelligent AllWheel-Drive system gives you traction when and where you need it most,” added Madison. The unique Torque Vectoring Control system provides greater traction when cornering by transferring torque to the wheels that have the most grip. It uses braking to adjust the speed between the front wheels while you’re accelerating through a corner, enabling the front end to hug the inside of the curve and help provide a better grip. You don’t have to know how to drive a manual transmission to enjoy the sporty feel of shifting gears. Using raceinspired technology, the available steering wheel-mounted paddles let you easily and quickly go from gear to gear without taking your hands off the wheel. “A new rotary gear shift dial frees up cabin room and storage. Approach Fusion with your intelligent access key and a simple touch of the driver door handle opens the way. Turn the new rotary gear shift dial to engage the transmission,” explained Madison. “A new lane-keeping system can detect lane markings

and apply torque to the steering wheel if it senses your vehicle drifting unintentionally out of its lane,” said Madison. “It sends vibration pulses to the wheel to prompt you to steer back toward the centre.” Available Sync with MyFord Touch lets you do it all. It features an eight-inch LCD centre touch screen and a four-inch LCD screen located on the instrument cluster for quick, easy viewing and dual USB ports. You can listen to playlists from your MP3 player, USB or smartphone. If someone calls you while you’re listening to your music, no problem it alerts you. You can

control the interior climate. And just say the word and you can command the available voice activated navigation system to guide you to a destination. All this while you keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. The available Blind Spot Information System with cross-traffic alert helps make driving safer. Using radar in the rear quarter panels to detect if a vehicle is in your blind spot, you’re alerted with

an indicator light in the appropriate sideview mirror. Crosstraffic alert uses radar to watch for traffic behind you when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or your driveway. If cross-traffic sensors detect a vehicle approaching from up to 13 metres away, the system sends an audible warning, a visual display in the corresponding mirror and a signal in the message centre. Put the gear selector in reverse and the standard

Dan Madison Sales Associate

rear view camera automatically transmits the image of what’s behind you. The available Lane-Keeping System includes both the lane-keeping alert and the lanekeeping aid. A camera mounted behind the windshield watches road lane markings to determine vehicle position and detects a lane departure. The system can operate during the day or night. Lane-keeping alert warns you through a series of steering wheel vibrations, which mimic a rumble strip, should the system detect an unintentional lane departure. With its athletic lines and sleek silhouette, the Ford Fusion conveys a sense of agility. A new black gloss grille gives the Fusion a distinctive look, while low-profile laser-cut projector headlights and LED taillights hint at its intelligence. Open the door and available ambient lighting with seven colour choices establishes the mood, just as the available leather-trimmed seats communicate luxury and sophistication. Adding to its style and comfort are the workmanship and premium quality of the materials used in crafting the Fusion. You can see the 2017 Ford Fusion at Lamb Ford Sales at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for a friendly sales professional.

Camaro quickly became a car classic By Murray Green

Jeff Batemen of Alliance knew that he wanted a 1967 Camaro a long time ago. The classic muscle car with the attractive design was a hit in the late 60s and early 70s. “The way it looks now is the way I bought it six years ago. I’ve done the engine, transmission, brakes and other small little things to it,” said Jeff. “I paid about $18,000 and I’ve had it appraised at $28,000.” Continued on page 40

Laurel Nadon, Camrose Booster Right: Aaron Taves, second year auto service apprentice at Fountain Tire east end, works on the engine of a vehicle. Taves will compete at the Skills Canada International Competition in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in October 2017 after receiving awards at both provincials and nationals this year.

By Laurel Nadon

It’s a Wednesday night and after a full day of work, local second year auto service apprentice Aaron Taves is heading to Edmonton to meet with a trainer who will prepare him to compete in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates next fall. Taves, an apprentice at Fountain Tire east end, will bring his problem-solving skills to the world stage at the Skills Canada International Competition. He received a gold award at the provincial competition in April at NAIT, and then a bronze award at the National Competition in Moncton, New Brunswick in June. The 19-year-old apprentice qualified for internationals, which will be held next October, as the highest ranked age eligible competitor. “I love working on cars and problem-solving. When I learned there was a competition that is based on that, I couldn’t stay away from it,” Taves said. “It’s rewarding to be presented with a problem and be able to figure it out. The most challenging part is having the confidence in yourself that you did the challenge correctly and not second guessing yourself. When you know you can do it right, you have to trust that you did it right.” Nicholas Emmott, Taves’ journeyman and automotive technician at Fountain Tire east end, said he was impressed by how well Taves did at the competitions. “He did awesome. It’s an incredible accomplishment considering his young age and how many other competitors were there,” Emmott said. “Obviously there’s a skills learning aspect of it and also a social recognition about it. You get to further your trade knowledge as well as compete on a world-wide stage.” At both provincials and nationals, skills are broken into the six areas of suspension, brakes, electrical, engine diagnosis, engine mechanical and drive train. Competitors are judged on procedure, time used, properly completing the task, and the final result.

“It goes in-depth in the trade, but not near to the point that internationals will,” Taves said. Internationals will have the same style of challenges, but on a much larger scale. Nationals and provincials are each two day competitions, with 90 to 105 minutes for a station whereas internationals will be four days, with three hours for each station. In electrical diagnosis, four or five faults in 90 minutes at nationals will become 20 or more faults with a three hour time limit at internationals. “That’s going to be a challenge, to keep that high level of focus,” Taves said, as he discussed the competitions on his way to a suspension training session. Taves has been assigned a trainer at NAIT and begun a weekly training routine, which will be bumped to two or three times a week as internationals approach. Being a volunteer firefighter in Camrose will also keep his schedule busy. “I’m looking forward to the training for the skills competition, so I can become better at my job,” Taves said. “I look forward to the trip and representing my country.” He credits his early years of playing football and hockey for giving him a competitive spirit. Taves began his auto service apprenticeship at Midas at the beginning of Grade 11 and worked there for almost two years. After completing his 1st year of school at NAIT, he began at Fountain Tire east end. “Both places have really given me a lot of support in these competitions,” Taves said. “My father, Norm Taves, is a huge supporter as well, along with my past and current employers and co-workers.” Taves also received a certificate of recognition from Mayor Norm Mayer at council’s Sept. 12 meeting. “That was just neat. I really appreciated the recognition from the City,” Taves said.

Take care of your car battery in extreme weather

Few things can be more frustrating than jumping into the driver’s seat on a frosty morning, turning the key in the ignition and failing to hear the engine roar to life. Frigid weather can cause trouble with a car’s battery. Some drivers do not under-

stand why, but getting the facts can help people avoid having to deal with dead batteries on cold winter days. Cold temperatures wreak havoc on batteries because they slow the chemical reaction inside of the battery. Batteries work by combining

lead plates with lead dioxide and sulfuric acid to create electrons. While batteries can function under myriad conditions, the cold weather tends to degrade high-quality batteries and may render subpar batteries useless. The cold weather can cause the

fluid in the battery to freeze and lose function. A battery that is frozen will not hold a charge, and, as a result, the car won’t start. If your battery is old, now may be the time to replace it. If your car is still running on its original battery

and your card is several years old, it may be a good idea to get a new battery before the arrival of winter. Battery size will not necessarily provide better starting. It’s important to buy the correct battery for the make of your car.

Supporting causes often entails associating that cause to a specific colour, such as pink for breast cancer or blue for prostate cancer. In keeping with that theme Sept. 29 will be designated The Orange Shirt Campaign – Every Child Matters which is committed to raising awareness for Indigenous people. In support of Orange Shirt Day Mayor Norm Mayer accompanied by councillor Bill Sears on behalf of the City of Camrose and Council signed a proclamation declaring Sept. 30 Orange Shirt Day in Camrose. Orange Shirt Day is the result of the 2013 Joseph Mission Residential School Commemoration Project and Reunion that took place in Williams Lake, BC. The symbol of the orange shirt originated from a story told by a former residential school student, Phyllis Webstad. As a young girl in residential school, Phyllis recalled having her brand new orange

shirt, given to her by her grandmother, taken away from her. Phyllis’s story contained an emotional message, in her personal view, that nobody cared and speaks of the harms experienced by children in residential schools. The intention behind Orange Shirt Day, officially commemorated in Alberta this year, is to provide opportunities to discuss all aspects of residential schools and help continue the work of reconciliation. Staff, teachers, administration and students of Our Lady Mount Pleasant are having an Orange Shirt Day awareness event on Sept. 29. The Society of Safe and Caring Schools and Communities (Safe and Caring) has partnered with the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA) to help bring Orange Shirt Day to communities across Alberta For more information, visit the Safe and Caring website at www.safeandcaring.ca.

Car tour aims to stop organ transplants By Murray Green

A car tour to raise awareness about a serious human rights issue in China stopped in Camrose on Sept. 21. The tour is part of a Canada-wide campaign to travel to different cities and raise awareness about the crime of state-sanctioned forced organ removal from living Falun Gong prisoners of conscience in China, who are murdered during the organ removal process. “We are touring northern Alberta to raise awareness of the abuse of people and state sanctioned organ transplants,” said Chunyan Huang. “We want Canadians to help us take action.” In 2006, two Canadians, former Edmonton MP and Secretary of State for Asia Pacific David Kilgour and international human rights lawyer David Matas, released a report on illicit organ harvesting in China, so shocking that many struggled to believe it. Since then, the investigation has continued and they’ve now updated their findings together with investigative journalists and China expert Ethan Gutmann in a report published in June, showing that the number of victims is far larger than originally thought. The new report shows that between 60,000 to 100,000 people are used in the government-run transplant business each year in China, with the majority of them non-consenting Falun Gong prisoners of conscience. As part of the car tour, Falun Gong practitioners will be travelling across various provinces, making stops along the way to meet with MPs and provincial and local officials, as well as hold press conferences. The participants will call for an end to the ongoing campaign of persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in China, which has resulted in untold suffering and death since it was launched in 1999. They will also call for Jiang Zemin, the former Chinese leader who started the persecution of Falun Gong, to be brought to justice. The tour in Alberta was launched in Edmonton by a group of Chinese descendants living in the capital city. “We have seen some change in policy, but not in the number of organ transplants,” said Shar Chen of the Edmonton group.

Life is better in the Quick Lane.TM as Falun Dafa, is a peaceful meditation exercise practiced around the world that is based on the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance. In July 1999, fearing that Falun Gong’s widespread popularity was overshadowing his own legacy, thenChinese Communist Party leader Zemin ordered the eradication of the traditional Chinese practice. The arbitrary arrest, torture, killing, incarceration, brainwashing, organ harvesting and demonization of Falun Gong still continue to this day.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, September 27, 2016 – Page 36

Hospice Society seeks location for building By Lori Larsen

The Hospice Society of Camrose and District is seeking consideration and approval from city council for the donation of a parcel of land located on Valleyview Drive as an option for the location of the proposed hospice. On Sept. 19 during the committee of whole meeting, the Hospice Society of Camrose and District chairperson Stacey Strilchuk presented council with a summary of the work of the Hospice Society along with a formal request for consideration of the donation of land. Strilchuk began her presentation by speaking about the three specific areas the Hospice Society is most known for in Camrose which consists of volunteers, education and the grief and bereavement component. In March the Hospice Society held a town hall meeting with over 80 attendees. The idea was to talk about the work of the Hospice, but also encourage feedback on the Hospice House. “Last year, the Hospice Society came together as a board, after getting community support, to say we want to move forward with a sixbed, residential, freestanding hospice,” said Strilchuk. The idea behind the Hospice House is to develop and construct a home-style hospice. Strilchuk recognized that Camrose does already provide acute and continual, palliative and end-of-life services, but not everybody chooses to die in a long-term care facility or hospital, and there is a need for hospice that offers individuals and the family caregivers of individuals the option of dying in a homelike setting, but they may or may not have the resources. Strilchuk demonstrated the proposed six-bed design which was facilitated in kind by architect Lillian Mah. “She has done an excellent job of being respectful of the clinical aspect of hospice, as well as what is required to have the community homelike feel,” said Strilchuk. Strilchuk commented that the design is flexible, allowing for the addition of patient rooms or a nursing station should it be needed. “We have a very strong foundation already of community providers and stakeholders who want to come forward and help us, and I see this being no different when we move to the operating stage.” Implying there would be a large contingent of volunteers required both from the Society and the community, Strilchuk noted they (society) aspire to utilize other resources including Alberta Health Services Home Care. “Our goal is to make it no different than what Camrose Home Care provides to palliative and end-of-life patients in their homes. This would be exactly the same, but in the

residential hospice.” Strilchuk indicated the approximate capital costs to construct the hospice would be $2 million and that operating costs could be $500,000 or $600,000. “But we really need to dig our teeth into the partnership piece with Alberta Health Services (AHS) to be ensured that we have the right relationships in place and that we are accessing full programs that we can tap into in order to provide the operational piece.” Along with the interest and support by the community for a hospice in Camrose,

Strilchuk also suggested there is a degree of cost benefits as well, explaining the current cost of palliative and endof-life care in a hospital can cost upwards of $35,000, compared to $16,000 in the home. “However, it is more important to look at it from the emphasis it places on a family members to look after patients in a home or to place them in the hospital or in a long-term care facility when they are choosing or want to die at home or in a hospice environment, and at the end of the day, that is what is important.” In conclusion, Strilchuk made a formal request to city council to consider donating the potentially identified land in Valleyview for the construction of the six-bed hospice. “We envision it being a beautiful location for the hospice from an accessibility standpoint, quietness of that area, the natural light and natural presence that it gives for the hospice environment. Questions

Councilor PJ Stasko inquired as to the projected timeline should the hospice acquire this land and begin moving forward. Strilchuk indicated that the next step would be to work with administration regarding the logistics of surveying and ensuring the design would be appropriate, after which would be securing a project manager to move ahead with the plans and begin construction. Councilor Max Lindstrand asked about the

reasoning behind a six-bed hospice. “Why did you decide on six beds? Is that a good number for today and is it a good number for 10 years from now given the fact that 23 per cent or more of the population is in the senior category in Camrose.” Strilchuk replied that with the size of the community, coupled with the rate of stay which averages three to five days, a six-bed hospice at this point would be sufficient, however, the Valleyview site would provide the opportunity for expansion should it be needed.

Lindstrand continued by asking about the capital budget and operation costs and specifically who would own the facility. “It has been our vision that the Hospice Society will own the hospice,” said Strilchuk “As a board and in the town hall meeting, we talked about our budget and feel this needs to be community driven. So we are looking for individual support, but also industry support, and we’ll have open discussion with businesses and profitable societies that may be looking for some sponsorship opportunities to help, not only with the capital, but also with some of the operating costs as we move along.” Strilchuk further discussed the issue of deficits indicating that, similar to a hospital setting, once someone gets admitted, conversation begins immediately about discharge Councilor Wayne Throndson questioned as to the footprint of the actual hospice, zoning of the area, where the patients would primarily be from, the feasibility of provincial and or federal government support and the market value of the Valleyview property. Strilchuk addressed the size of the hospice first, indicating that based on the design, it would be approximately 9,000 square feet. The catchment area would most likely be similar to that of the Camrose Primary Care Network area which includes Camrose and area, Bashaw, Hardisty, Daysland, Forestburg and possibly a bit toward

Tofield and Beaver areas in order to ensure physicians of the areas are connected to the hospice. Strilchuk said there were connections into both provincial and federal portfolios regarding financial support. “We would look at the Red Deer model where they actually received some funding through the community allotment program, but I also think there is another avenue that we need to be prepared to tap into and that is from a federal perspective.” City of Camrose planning and development director Aaron Leckie responded to the question on the property zoning and the value of the property. “That property is currently zoned Urban Reserve UR, it is intended for high-density, residential use. As part of Valleyview Phase Six, this Multi-Family site would be designed into that or developed separately. We would be looking to recommend that R4 zoning, highdensity residential be applied. “That doesn’t mean that a portion of it or all of it couldn’t be rezoned to institutional. Both temporary care facilities and assisted living facilities are listed as permitted in institutional. “The size of the parcel is 1.21 hectares, an assessed value of approximately $852,000,” added Leckie. “Only part of this property would be required to accommodate the hospice.” City manager Malcolm Boyd commented, “Originally when we were approached by the Hospice Society, we were tasked with coming up with some properties that could fit for the potential hospice. The one that we looked at was a property close to Stoney Creek Centre and the original design worked on by the (hospice society) architect was to fit on that, but it turned out not to be adequate for what the society had in mind. Once we had an idea of what size of a facility they were looking at, we simply looked at our vacant city-owned property and where the options were and where it would fit. “Two properties came to mind, the property on Valleyview Drive, on your way to Valleyview west between Valleyview Drive and the storm pond, and the other property we identified as having adequate space is the triangular property at the entrance to the golf course. On a final note, councilor Greg Wood asked about the response to a facility of this type being located in a residential neighborhood. Strilchuk replied that reviews done in other communities basically said the same thing, hospices make good neighbors. Mayor Norm Mayer advised city administration to come back to council with more information on the matter of the hospice house for evaluation of all options.

John Clarence Boden May 6, 1961 ~ September 21, 2016 John Clarence Boden of Camrose, AB passed away on Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at the age of 55 years. He was born May 6, 1961 in Camrose, AB and raised on a farm at Edberg. After his schooling, he moved to Camrose where he worked for the family business, H. Boden & Sons Construction. In November 1985, he married Shauna and in the years to follow, they welcomed their three daughters. He truly was a genuine husband and father and would do anything for his girls. John and Shauna spent all their spare time with family and friends. Summers were spent camping, quadding, boating and coaching ball and in the winters, they would be found on the snowmobiles. His evenings were spent in front of the TV watching his beloved Edmonton Oilers. John would spend hours at the coffee shop with the boys and this is where he started his adventure of buying and selling vehicles. In 1996, Legacy Sales was formed where they sold vehicles, farm equipment and Arctic Cat products. In 2002, John went to work for Home Hardware Distribution Center in Wetaskiwin where he soon became the night supervisor. He worked there up until July 6, 2007 when he was in a life-changing car accident which left him an incomplete quadriplegic. John had an impact on all who had the privilege to meet him. His inspiration, witty disposition and amazing attitude were marveled at by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Shauna; daughters Kelti Boden (Orland Watson) of Grande Prairie, Kendra (John) Badry of Forestburg, and Kourtney Boden of St. Albert; parents Heinz and Dorothy Boden; siblings Gary (Florence) of Camrose, Rick (Isla) of Meeting Creek, Doug of Camrose, Greg (Marj) of Meeting Creek, Shelly (Vern) Swedberg of Meeting Creek, Leonard (Tammy) of Ohaton, and Cheryl (Scott) Cunningham of Camrose; and numerous nieces and nephews. John was predeceased by his grandparents Clarence and Magdalena Bakke, and John and Frieda Boden. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 29, 2016 from CityLights Church (4920-48 Street) with Rev. David Eriksson officiating.

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.

Chev Camaro quickly became a car classic Jeff rebuilt the 350 engine and added a four- speed transmission. “It’s fun to drive. I always wanted a Camaro and I picked 1967 because that was the year I was born,” he explained. “That is the biggest reason. I also drove a Camaro when I was in high school. It

was an 80s model, nothing like this car.” Jeff is saving his money for a new car. “In 2016, it will be the 50th anniversary of the Camaro and I wouldn’t mind having a 1967 and 2016 sitting side by side,” he said. “I want a red one with a white pin stripe.”

The University of Alberta Augustana Vikings women’s soccer team battled the King’s Eagles to a scoreless draw to earn its first point of the season in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, Sept. 17. Goalkeeper Ashley Chaput earned her shut out by making six saves. Braxtyn Horbay led the Vikings with three shots on goal. The men’s squad lost 2-1 in a close contest to King’s in Augustana’s second outing of the season. Jaeden Norton scored first for the Vikings, but the Eagles soared with two goals to make the comeback. Goalkeeper John Aitken made six saves out of the eight shots he faced. The women’s and men’s soccer teams host King’s Eagles on Sept. 30 with 2 and 4 p.m. start times. Cross-country running

The running teams enter grand prix races Grande Prairie on Oct. 1 prior to hosting a meet on Oct. 15 at Stony Creek Centre. Provincials will be on Oct. 29 in Grande Prairie and nationals at Sault College on Nov. 12. Golf

Cieanna Hewitt of Augustana shot rounds of 94 and 85 for a total of 179 at the Olds Golf Club to place seventh in the women’s competition on Sept. 17 and 18. Teammate Darcie Benoit came in 15th. On the men’s side, Colton Leslie of Camrose fired rounds of 73 and 72 for a total of 145. He placed second, just two strokes back of the leader. Chase Martin tied for eighth with rounds of 77 and 76.

Augustana soccer team earns a point

The car owner likes to attend car shows. “It is fun to mingle with these people and share stories,” he said. “I’m just in my 40s and there are lots of guys in their 60s still doing it, so I’ll keep going to shows as long as it is fun. It is fun for every age group here.” Jeff has had his share of

70s and 80s over the years, but he couldn’t resist the venture into an older model. “When I came across this 1967, I had to have it, so I bought it. When the weather is nice, you might as well be in an old tour car showing it off,” he joked.

In exhibition play, the Vikings beat Concordia 7-1 on Sept. 18. Logan Sproule led the Vikings with two goals. Jeff Lorenz, Scott Swiston, Cody Fiala, Jimmy Sheehan and Matthew Martin collected single markers for Augustana. Goalie Curtis Skip stopped 16 of 17 shots he faced in the contest. The Vikings directed 31 shots at the Thunder net. The Vikings host Portage in the EnCana Arena at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 28 in their next home game.

Kodiaks open with two wins at home By Murray Green

Camrose Kodiaks outplayed the Okotoks Oilers and skated away with a 6-1 victory at home on Sept. 17. The victory gave the Kodiaks two straight wins to open the season at home and player of the week honours. “It was exciting, but more importantly we won. Everything was going for us the last two games, so that was good,” said forward Liam Motley, who collected seven points and the Alberta Junior Hockey League player of the week recognition. Motley contributes his fast start to proper training. “I trained all summer to prepare for this season, an important one for me. I made a lot of sacrifices and it has paid off so far this year,” Motley added. “It is the most important year for me, at 19, second year on the Kodiaks. This is my chance to improve so I can move on in hockey and hopefully a scholarship. It is nice to start fast and not have any worries.” Mackenzie Bauer led the charge on offence with two goals, one each on the power play and shorthanded. Estian Coetzee, Kyler Kupka, Josh Zablocki and Ryan Rebelato all scored before former Kodiaks’ player Danton Davis replied for the Oilers. Goalie Joey May stopped 31 of the 32 shots he faced in a strong outing for the Kodiaks, while Camrose fired 27 at the Okotoks cage. “We are a really good team this year with more confidence, compared to last year. Boris (coach Rybalka) has given me a bigger role this year and that has helped. Coetzee and I are both getting bigger roles to play this year and that really helps. More power play and ice time adds more confidence,” said Motley. In the first game of the season, Camrose built up a 4-0 lead and went on to beat the Drumheller Dragons 6-4, Sept. 16. Motley scored a hat trick and added two assists to pace the Kodiaks’ attack. Kupka, Coetzee and Jack McCool added single markers. Goalie Patrick Gora turned away 23 of the 27 shots fired his way. Camrose also had 27 shots on net. “We are more of a hard working team this year. All of the players play more of the same style to make us a team hard to play against this year,” explained Motley. “We are a bigger team and our mind set is to grind other teams down, but still use our speed. It helps knowing we have two solid goalies, both Joey (May) and (Patrick) Gora play like veterans.

Courtland’s Hope gives back

Submitted Photo

Courtland’s Hope Foundation donated $2,000 to Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation in Edmonton. Pictured left to right are Courtland’s Hope Foundation founder and president Melanie Patterson, Courtland Patterson and Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation president and CEO Wendy Dugas. By Lori Larsen

Courtland’s Hope Foundation, a foundation committed to helping families with special needs children by providing for the cost of medical equipment, is paying it forward with donations to those in need. Recently one of the benefactors of Courtland’s Hope Foundation was the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation when they were presented with a cheque for $2,000 by founder and president of Courtland’s Hope, Melanie Patterson, and her

son Courtland, the inspiration behind the foundation. “We are honored that we can be a part of what the Glenrose Hospital is doing,” said Patterson. Located in Edmonton, the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital provides services for all ages. “We (Courtland’s Hope Foundation) specifically wanted to be in partnership with them because their facility takes care of children with all types of disabilities,” said Patterson. “We decided to designate the funds to the Patient/ Family Resource Centre and

to Unit 201, Inpatient Pediatric Care.” The Patient/Family Resource Centre offers support groups and has social workers available to help parents through the paperwork and process. “The Glenrose Hospital shares our vision to help kids be kids,” added Patterson. In its fourth year of existence Courtland’s Hope Foundation has grown a great deal and donations collected through the generosity of the residents of Camrose and surrounding area have been used to assist children and subsequently, families in need. “In the first two years, we helped one child a year,” said Patterson. “Last year, we helped six children, and I am happy to report that in 2016, we have helped 11 children with their mobility equipment needs, and the year is not over yet. “Most of the children that we help are in the Camrose/ Edmonton area, but being involved with the Glenrose helps us expand our reach,” said Patterson.

There’s a lot to celebrate in

Battle River School Division Growing and Learning in Battle River School Division From the very youngest program participants to those finishing Grade 12, Battle River School Division students are encouraged to be actively involved in their learning, to help ensure they experience success every day.

CHSPS brought home a medal for handball.

Ecolé Charlie Killam band performance.

Saying “thanks” to Friends of Battle River.

Throughout their school years, students are supported to develop characteristics that will make them good citizens; to nurture their health and their positive relationships with others; and to work hard to achieve their best academic results. They grow and learn while in classrooms, on sports fields and in fine arts venues, in their communities and around the world. The photos on this page highlight a small sample of activities from the 20152016 school year. In addition to what you see here, every school has a long list of occasions upon which students treated each other with kindness, built positive relationships with others, found new ways to show what they know and achieved success in something with which they had previously struggled.

our school division is accountable to the citizens in the communities we serve. This publication was produced and distributed into households throughout the division at a cost of approximately 39 cents per copy. Young Moms in the Learning Together Program pitched in to help Ft. McMurray. Forestburg students travelled to Japan.

Every Student. Every Day. A Success.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, Special Supplement – Battle River School Division, September 27, 2016 – Page 2

The Everyday Four the fundamentals Focus on the Everyday Four Battle River School Division has four main areas of focus, which form the foundation for everything we do. They are so fundamental to our daily work that we refer to them simply as the “Everyday Four”. They are:

1. Welcoming and Caring Schools 2. Literacy 3. Numeracy 4. Learning and Teaching (21st Century)

Flagstaff students gathered for a session on celebrating our differences.

Board Planning Day 2016

Welcoming and Caring Schools … are places where students and staff feel like they belong, they are safe and there are people who care about them. Within such an environment, both students and staff can focus on learning and teaching. Like all Alberta school divisions, a portion of 2015-2016 was devoted to updating Safe and Caring Schools policies and procedures, to ensure that schools are welcoming places for all students, including those of gender and sexual minorities.

Student leaders have been providing input and voice on many issues.

thoughts on a number of important questions. We also took the opportunity to ask our rural school stakeholders for input regarding the future of rural education and worked to deepen our relationship with both student leaders and school councils.

In BRSD we asked a group of parents and students to join the annual Board planning day, in order to hear their BRSD continues to try and find ways to streamline its use of energy. One of the biggest factors for our rural school division is fuel usage, as our school buses travel about 11,000 km every single school day and use 776,685 litres of diesel fuel in the course of one school year. The upcoming carbon levy could add between $40,000 and $62,000 to the annual cost of student transportation.

Environmental stewardship … is part of creating a welcoming and caring school as well. In 2016 BRSD “went green” by accessing wind power in order to reduce its carbon footprint. The new school being constructed in Bashaw will also be Leader in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified. BRSD converted to wind power

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, Special Supplement – Battle River School Division, September 27, 2016 – Page 47

helps us to focus on Learning and Teaching (21st century)

…is the focus that leads us into the future. Students and staff alike are honing their technology skills and learning to work collaboratively. 21st century learning and teaching also helps ensure that our schools and workplaces are open to diverse experiences and encouraging students to learn new ways to show what they know. The school division has created Educational Technology positions to support the growth of new ways of learning and teaching. The school division has increased its social media presence as well. You can follow us on Facebook (facebook.com/battleriver31) or on Twitter@battleriver31.

Young students learn to use technology

Graduation day for Reading University 2016

Literacy …is a foundation of learning and an ongoing area of emphasis at all grade levels. BRSD provides the services of literacy lead teachers to support development of this fundamental skill. The school division also offers the summer program Reading University for some of its younger readers, who need a bit of extra time to master the basics of literacy. The program has grown and developed since its inception in 2009 and in 2016 this special partnership between BRSD, the Battle River Community Foundation and the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta was available to every student in Grade 2 and 3 who was not yet reading at grade level. Looking ahead, there will be additional emphasis on English Language Learner programs in the coming year, as we begin to address the needs of an increasing number of BRSD families for whom English is not their first language.

Numeracy …is also a foundational skill, which leads to success in school and in life. Far from the “old days” when people were perceived to be either “good” or “bad” at Math, today’s emphasis is on helping every student become a master. A Numeracy Committee was established to develop a framework to guide and build skill and confidence in every BRSD student. Looking forward, a Division Principal, Numeracy position has been established to lead the numeracy work in the next two years.

Older students enhance their technology and digital citizenship skills.

We turned 20! It’s been 20 years since the regionalization of school divisions took place across Alberta in 1995. At that time, the school authorities operated by Beaver County, Camrose County, Flagstaff County and the City of Camrose were consolidated into one regional division. Here’s how our numbers have changed in two decades:

PACE Outreach hosted ‘the Blanket Exercise’ to build awareness of First Nations history.

Looking ahead … we know that honouring the experience of Canada’s first

peoples is going to be an important aspect of the coming years. There is work being done throughout the school division to deepen our understanding of First Nations, Métis and Inuit people, in order to do our part toward reconciliation.

Where did the money go in 2015-2016?

6.40%

Battle River School Division works hard to ensure resources are allocated in ways that serve the best interests of students. That’s why more than 75% of the $82 million in budgeted expenditures in the 2015-2016 school year went directly to student instruction. That amount includes the cost of ensuring schools have adequate staff, that there are specialized programs available in order to meet student needs and that our technology and learning resources are continually updated. A further 6.4 percent of expenditures was budgeted to transport children to and from school each day. Operating and maintaining school facilities, where students and staff spend their days, accounted for another 12.7% of budgeted spending.
