Timely Snow Removal

…throughout the entire City so that individuals, regardless of method of travel, are able to get where they want, when they want, as safely and quickly as possible. The joint venture will enable strollers, wheelchairs, walkers and those on foot to move about the City at will. Sidewalk snow removal in the business area must take place within twenty-four hours. Holidays and Sundays are not included in this mandate. Residential property owners have a maximum of seventy-two hours to clear relevant sidewalks after any snowfall. Downtown businesses will soon be publicly recognized for their efforts in this regard with a certificate of appreciation and promotion.

The Home Program offers free education about how to buy a house and then it gives you money on top of it. The successful program is in its seventh year in Camrose of helping local people to learn about all of the aspects of purchasing a home. Realtor Glenda Strauss, of Coldwell Banker Battle River Realty, is organizing the program that has already helped more than 175 residents. “We had about 35 people take the five-hour workshop last year and a total of 33 people over the last few years have taken advantage of the financial assistance,” she explained. “People don’t have to buy right away. I was told that someone just bought their first property after taking the program 11 years ago. The funds are held for them until they are ready to buy.” Continued on page 7

Grease is the word around town By Murray Green

AboutTime Productions presents the classical story of Grease, the school version, from March 3 to 8 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre. You can experience the friendships, romances and adventures of a group of high school kids in the 1950s performed by talented youth in the community. Young actors and actresses are excited about bringing the show to the local audiences. “I think it is really cool because AboutTime has done this show before. I was in Wizard of Oz, and a lot of former cast members came to watch and people want to see the production again to see how it has changed,” said Logan Lessmeister, who plays Roger. “No one from the original cast is in it, so it will be different people and it will be a different experience. A lot of places can put on Grease, but they don’t want it to be like the movie. We want it to be our version of the play.” Every cast can put their stamp, or version on the classic to provide a new experience for audiences. “I think it is cool to go back in time and be in a different time period. A lot of what happens in the play is still the same for youth today that we can relate too. There are rivalries going on, we still have bully figures going on, but you also have the great friendships that goes on nowadays as well. It does relate to us and everyday events, so it helps us perform the show,” said Rebecca Cardinal, who plays Frenchie. Four shows begin at 7 p.m. (March 3, 4, 7 and 8) and one matinee will be held at 2 p.m. on March 5. “From what my parents told me, high school hasn’t changed a lot. There are always the stereotypical nerds, jocks and people who want to get out of high school as fast as possible. It is just different aspects today,” explained Logan. “Now you have the video gamer, instead of the book nerd. It is still stereotypes of groups. It is interesting seeing the

GREASE

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The boys in the AboutTime Productions cast of Grease examine life in high school. Logan Lessmeister, back left, Tadhg Barker and Josh Murphy joined Connor MacQuarrie, front left, and James Rostad in a scene from the play. Grease will be on stage from March 3 to 8 at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

differences and the similarities between the play from 1959 and life today. They are intertwined with aspects of youth in different eras.” Both Rebecca and Logan were in the deep meaning “Into the Woods” production last year. “That play was even more hectic, so this becomes easier this year. It was more of an opera, where this is a musical,” expressed Logan. “Grease is easier to learn and for people to relate too,” added Rebecca. “The songs are from the high school version, so I found myself de-teaching the words and then re-teaching them because they are different,” shared Logan. “I auditioned for Grease thinking it would be easy,

but no it is not. It is a challenge and pushes us to be better. It is still work. This isn’t just a children’s theatre. It is very professional and brings positive energy to everyone’s lives,” said Rebecca, who is a Grade 10 New Norway School student. “You have to learn your character and play that part. It would be boring to play the same part over again. I treat the play like each show is something new for that person in the audience. They may not have seen it before and I want to play my part well for those people,” reasoned Logan, who is a Grade 12 Camrose Composite High School student. “I love AboutTime Productions because it is one of my favourite places to be. It

includes the best drama students from everywhere and all of us want to be here. It brings a good dynamic to AboutTime,” he added. “New Norway School is tiny and everything you do is with the same people every year. This gives me an opportunity to branch out and work with a lot of others who are excited about the same things. You get to build new friendships here. Not only can you boost your acting abilities, you can gain confidence and new friendships. It is a really great sharing experience,” said Rebecca. “I first came here to continue with arts and I thought this is a really good opportunity to learn new things. The next year, I learned a lot of social skills, how to make

friends and it is so much more than acting and being in a play.” Logan wants to enroll in drama classes at Augustana next year. “I always want to have theatre in my life. Theatre is a great community and I want to do it as long as I can,” said Logan. “Singing and acting is something I want to do in the future. I will be doing this in university because I can’t think of being without it,” said Rebecca. To purchase tickets visit the Lougheed Arts Centre website at www.camroselive.ca or call the Lougheed Box Office at 780-608-2922 Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 4:30 p.m.

Junior high Cougars reach basketball finals By Murray Green

The Cougars drove hard for the basket against OLMP.

The girl’s and boy’s Grade 7 École Charlie Killam School basketball teams reached the finals in their own tournament on Jan. 28. The Cougars girl’s team beat Our Lady of Mount Pleasant, Devon and Ryley to go undefeated in the first round of action. However, the Cougars lost to Ryley in the final. The boy’s squad found themselves with the same script. They won over OLMP, Devon and Ryley to also go undefeated in the first round. The Cougars faced a determined Devon team in the final and had to settle for second place.

A OLMP Royals player keeps his Cougars opponent at bay.

The Home Program helps buyers by providing them with all the information they need to make the right decision with buying a home. “The five hours of free education are worth the time, even if they don’t take advantage of the funds,” Glenda said. “This program is ideal for anyone who is thinking about purchasing a home in the future.” The workshop will be held at Centra Cam on March 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The program was originally developed to help low and moderate income buyers, but has expanded over the years to include anyone interested in purchasing their own home. “In the mortgage portion, the difference between open and closed, fixed versus variable, and whether to go with a bank or mortgage broker, are all explained,” added Glenda. Glenda will talk about finding the right home for you. “The realtor part of the course will cover the differences between renting and buying, condos versus houses, and what is the best resale value,” Glenda said. “You want to shop in the right price range to make it comfortable for making payments.” Following the home inspection guidelines could save a lot of money alone. “The home inspector goes through everything to look for in the property, from shingles down to the basement. He has a very in-depth checklist to follow, so you will know everything about your property,” said Glenda. “The lawyer does an excellent job of explaining why you need a lawyer to purchase a home. They explain what the fee covers, and how they help with the transaction.” The workshop is free and the education is priceless. “People sign up for the course, attend the workshop, participate in the program with the realtor and then they qualify for $1,000 of assistance,” said Glenda, explaining the process to receive assistance. “The funds are provided prior to the home-owner taking possession of the property.” To register for the workshop, go to www.thehomeprogram.ca, click on upcoming sessions, and register for the Camrose session contact Glenda Strauss at 780-7818080 or Marilou Yampolsky at 780-679-8975.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson The power of silence I noticed an older-looking couple at a restaurant. They didn’t appear to be saying much. At one time I’d have imagined they were bored with each other and thought that was sad. This time I remembered something my mom once said. She mentioned that sometimes when people see an older couple who don’t appear to be saying much to each other, younger people think that’s sad. (I was guilty as charged.) “That’s not what I think at all,” my mom continued. “I think, isn’t that nice? They know each other so well and they’re so comfortable with each other that they don’t need to talk.” A different perspective. *** When I returned to school as an adult, one of our teachers, Don Swartz, taught us to “hold the silence, hold the tension.” He began his career as a mechanical engineer and grew into one of the most skilled group facilitators I’ve ever met. One reason might have been that he knew how mechanical things worked – the steps it takes to shape metal into component parts to create a vehicle. He could also break down the steps it takes for groups of people to go from chaos, confusion and disagreement into an ability to move ahead and get work done. One of his mantras was “hold the tension.” Often when a group has been trying to figure something out, or wrangling over a decision, there’s a lull in the conversation, and high tension. Some of us are tempted to try to break the tension – say something funny or suggest a break. Don Swartz advised us to “hold the tension”–with silence. Twenty years later, I have now experienced many times when–as Don suggested–holding the tension, holding the silence, created space for a breakthrough to occur. If we dissipate the tension too soon, we also dissipate the opportunity for a breakthrough. *** Once during a retreat, almost half our time was in silence. Certainly there was instruction and discussion. But our most powerful times were in silence. In silence, sometimes the chatter in my mind stops and there is space for a deeper wisdom to be heard, and not just heard but experienced. In silence, I can begin to feel subtle shifts and signals in my body, my emotions and my thoughts. I can begin to tell the difference between wisdom and mental noise. At the retreat, when someone was speaking in the group, we were encouraged not to comment or respond, but simply to listen deeply and silently. In the presence of that supportive silence, many of us had breakthrough understandings. That would not have happened if others had been talking–trying to “help” us with the noise of their words. *** Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist who experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain. In My Stroke of Insight, she tells what she experienced while having a stroke. Because of her expertise, she knew exactly what was happening in her brain. Essentially her entire left brain shut down. It took eight gruelling years to recover her abilities to move, speak, eat and so on. One of the many profound things she talks about is the healing power of silence. In a section of advice for caregivers, she talks of how excruciating noise was for her, how noise scrambled up her fragile recovering brain, how noise was actually physically painful. I flashed back to experiences in hospitals, medical clinics and once in an ambulance and thought how her message of the healing power of silence would be a great benefit to all medical professions and facilities. *** Ironically, while writing this, I got up to shut the window against the sound of a siren.

This is in response to Michael Smith’s recent submission regarding “slippery walks”. His message was full of scorn and intolerance. This is definitely not the “Spirit of Camrose”. In our neighbourhood, if you are out for an energizing walk, why not knock on your neighbours door to check if they need help? Are they ill or disabled or working two jobs to survive? Are their children or parents ill? Can you

lend a helping hand in a time of need? When out walking in our extreme Alberta winters, wear good footwear and use caution. We are in this together! This hatefulness must end. We do not need babysitters! We need more human compassion for each other. Julietta Martin, Camrose Trump card

All I am hearing from many well meaning people here in Alberta is how terrible Donald Trump is. Now, I am not sure how much good this amount of complaining is going to do. I do believe that people are wasting their time and energy. They should be focusing their time and energy on things, which will improve the lives of the people who we care most about. Donald Trump was fairly elected by the American people. He has approved our Keystone pipeline, which will help us get our prod-

uct to market. Now, when it comes to his global policies, I do know where he is coming from. When it comes to Islam beliefs, I suggest that no one gets me started on that. Mohammed is the only founder who started a religion as a lifestyle and not as a option for people to believe in. All you have to do is look at countries, which are run by Muslims. So, when it comes to Trump, there is little we can do about him. Let us hope that in the next four years, he does not bring about the end of the World as we know it. World War Three could be around the corner. Mr. Bush’s One World Order could be delayed for four years. That is another possible result. Complaining about things you can not change is never productive. Just find things to do which are. Lorne W.P Vanderwoude, Camrose

Liberals take tax relief from Canadian troops By Kevin Sorenson, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

Many Canadians, including Battle RiverCrowfoot constituents because our riding is home to Camp Wainwright and many who serve in the Canadian Armed Forces, are disturbed by the Liberal government’s cancellation of tax relief for our troops deployed in the fight against ISIS. Many of us feel strongly that it is unjust for the Liberals to take away a tax credit worth up to $1,800 per month from each of Canada’s troops who serve in harm’s way. The Official Opposition is frustrated and outraged by the government’s decision and we are asking Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan to reverse it. James Bezan, MP our National Defence Opposition Critic wrote a letter in November to the minister warning that this policy should not be implemented. Mr. Bezan voiced his appeal again at the Standing Committee on Defence in December, and has been asking about it during Question Period ever since. Before Canadian troops were deployed to Kuwait, the previous Conservative government ensured that they would be entitled to full danger pay. The first cuts by the Liberals were done on Sept. 1, 2016. Even more Canadian troops will be affected on future missions, including as early as June this year should our troops be sent to Africa. This is the same government that has racked up record deficits and tens of billions of dollars in borrowed money to finance their out-of-control spending. Now, they are raising taxes everywhere (e.g. CPP payroll hike, carbon tax grab, etc.) and cancelling tax credits (e.g. tuition and textbook credits, children’s arts and fitness tax credits and more) and now they are taking an important tax credit away from our troops. The men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces volunteer to leave their families as they travel abroad to perform dangerous work and put themselves at risk in service of our country. They miss important milestones like birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. While no amount of money can make up for this, does anyone disagree that our troops should earn additional income when deployed to serve in known dangerous circumstances? This decision was made after the troops had agreed to deploy. It could cost Canadian Armed Forces members $9,000 for a six month deployment. In cutting this benefit, the Liberals have cheated our troops and their families out of hard earned money that they expected, counted upon and deserve. The Liberals have decided to revoke the benefit for all of our troops who are battling ISIS at a time when the world knows that U.S. President Donald Trump is planning to ramp-up the battle against ISIS. This past week, U.S. Defence Secretary James Mattis, former commander of U.S. Central Command had glowing words of praise for Canadian troops saying, “The lives lost in the Afghan conflict have created a permanent bond between our countries. Your pledge to do a lot of leadership, whether it be in humanitarian ops, in battle groups, in reassurance efforts, we’re proud as all getout of you and your forces and what they’ve stood up and delivered.” I will continue to support the Conservative Party’s efforts to have the government reverse their decision and support the brave men and women who stand on guard for all of us.

No call is worth the cost By Lori Larsen While one second may not seem like a considerable amount of time, one second of looking down at your cell phone while driving a vehicle could be the equivalent of a lifetime to the person you hit. As part of the provincial Strategic Enforcement Plan, targeted traffic enforcement activities are identified and focused on during a period of time. “February is distracted driving month,” said Camrose Police Service Constable Adam Belanger. “Distracted driving has been identified as one of the primary causes of collisions on our roads.” Const. Belanger noted any manipulations of an electronic device constitutes an offence. “That includes things like scrolling through your iPod or iPad, texting or talking on your cell phone with it up to your ear.” Even if a person is using a speaker phone, if the device is being held up to his/her chin to respond, driving is distracted. “You are still manipulating an electronic communication device. It’s a habit that a lot of people are having trouble breaking,” said Belanger. “I understand the Pavlovian reflex and that you want to reach for that phone when it goes off. It is so ingrained into our lives right now, but your job on the road is to drive, you are responsible for your safety and the safety of others while on the road.” Belanger described the power behind a moving vehicle. “When you are travelling at 50 km/hour you travel approximately 45 feet in one second. So that quick two second look at your phone and even sending a quick text back, in two seconds you will travel 90 feet. In a residential area that is the equivalent of three houses you pass by when your eyes are not on the road.” In those two seconds your vehicle not only passes three homes but potentially children playing, other pedestrians, cyclists, other motorists or animals, many things can occur in 45 feet. Distracted driving, specifically cell phone usage while driving, continues to be a concern with law enforcement and Belanger indicated it doesn’t seem to be changing. “Just driving around town you can still see people either inadvertently on their phones or they are glancing up then glancing back down (usually a sign that they are using their cell phone in a lower position in the vehicle, out of sight.)

“In Sept. of 2011 the Alberta government established Section 115.1 (1) of the Traffic Safety Act, specifically the cell phone section,”explained Belanger. When the section was first enacted the penalty was $172 and no demerits. “In May of that year the penalty went up to $287 but still no demerits and then in January of 2016 the penalty included three demerits and the $287.” Const. Belanger further explained that holders of a full licence are allowed up to 15 demerit points, therefore it would only take five tickets involving the use of your cell phone while driving before your licence would be suspended. Graduated licenced drivers are allowed up to eight demerit points, in the event of a third distracted driving offence his/her licence would be suspended.

of two things,” said Const. Belanger. “Either people are starting to figure it out or they are just getting better habits at hiding it (manipulating a cell phone while driving.)” Belanger said the total number of traffic tickets issued in 2016 did go down. “This was an indication there was not as much traffic enforcement because we were busy with other things and that had an impact on our statistics.” On Friday Feb. 10 Const. Belanger was joined by three members of the Wetaskiwin Integrated Traffic Unit in a joint operation that focused on cell phone usage, seatbelt and other vehicle equipment regulations. “We set up for just a little over three hours on 48th Avenue and we wrote 33 violations 17 of those were cell phones.”

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Using any electronic communication device while driving is not only illegal but extremely dangerous. Camrose Police Service advises residents to remove the temptation and put devices out of reach. Stats

Camrose Police Service has been tracking statistics on the number of tickets issued concerning manipulating a cellular or electronic device while driving. “In 2015 there were 407 tickets issued in Camrose,” noted Belanger. “During the first part of 2015 when the penalty was $172 there was an average of 31.5 tickets a month handed out by Camrose Police Service members. “When the penalty went up in May there was an average of 35.4 per month. It would appear the increase in the fine was not a deterrent so it was a good indication that something more needed to happen and in 2016 the three demerits were added.” In 2016 there were 193 tickets issued by Camrose police an average of 16 per month. “This could mean one

Unfortunately these numbers would indicate cell phone usage while driving is still a major concern and now drivers are becoming more ingenious at hiding the fact that they are using a device while driving. “Before it was illegal people would be texting with the phone on top of the steering wheel,” remarked Belanger. “Now everybody is so afraid of the nearly $300 ticket and the three demerits they are hiding it down by their thigh, they are looking at the road even less now.” “As police officers we have to become more creative on how to catch it.” The best advice Const. Belanger can give is to simply put the cell phone, or any electronic device out of your reach, literally remove the temptation and reminds drivers, “In Alberta driving is not a right it is a privilege, so please keep your eyes on the road.”

Q. A:

The best time may have been yyesterday, but today or in the very iimmediate future works, too. Why so ssoon? The answer is easy – Canadians dA i and Americans are two of the world’s countries where procrastination is king in the world of travel. We wait and debate, thinking there might be a sale, or believing we can go where we want on a moment’s notice. Other cultures, including Asians and Australians, conversely often book their vacation destinations, cruises, safaris and tours a year or two ahead! Booking early has significant and rewarding advantages. Often price is best farther out. You will have increased opportunity to get the best hotel rooms, rooms with a view or first choice of ship cabins. Many travel companies offer enticing amenities for early bookings. Coach trips are often priced at five percent less for future bookings. You won’t have to settle for less desirable departure times or inferior transfer times when you book farther out. Even airlines offer flight bookings 330 days in advance! Don’t settle for whatever is left – book early! In addition to savings and bonuses, think of the fun you will have dreaming about your next trip!

Auto body repair shops will need to bbe accredited by auto makers in the near ffuture and The Auto Shoppe in Camrose iis leading the way.

Today’s vehicles have become so complicated with on-board technology safety systems, and the average person doesn’t understand that these systems need to be serviced by accredited professionals and re-calibrated after an accident for their own personal protection. Here at The Auto Shoppe we have been working toward accreditation since the new shop was built 10 years ago. All staff have been taking training courses through I-CAR, a Canadian training facilitator for vehicle collision, which has earned the shop the title of an I-CAR Gold Status Shop. This accreditation is a new challenge for our industry. Automotive manufacturers and insurance specialists are going the extra mile by insisting shops be accredited. If you’re looking to get a vehicle repaired, you too should ask if the shop you’re considering is accredited. Answer provided by:

What should I look for when choosing an auto service shop?

When you’re looking for a shop to take care of your vehicle, a short chat with the service manager will help you decide if there’s a future for the two of you. It may sound a bit odd, but what you’re doing here is starting a relationship that could last 10 or 15 years, which is longer than many of today’s marriages. (Fortunately for me, Cindy and I are going on 37 years of wedded bliss.) Knowing the work history of a vehicle is very important. The decisions on what work truly needs to be done is reflected in the records kept over the lifetime of your vehicle. We will recommend work to be done on your vehicle when it is necessary. Unfortunately, a very small number of shops have been accused of doing work that may not be necessary. Having a good relationship with a regular service provider can go a long way to help prevent this. Answer provided by:

By Lori Larsen

University of Alberta Augustana Campus students paired up with Grade 7 science students throughout Camrose in an initiative to create some excitement and interest in science among elementary students. During the fall semester of 2016 Augustana students mentored and worked alongside the Grade 7 science students creating projects relevant to the science curriculum. The end result was a presentation of the projects during the Science Fair held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Feb. 23. Projects ranged from how eye colour influences genetics to the effects of chemicals on cacti and were displayed for viewing by other students, community members and selected judges. On top of the opportunity to showcase the science projects the Grade 7 students also participated in interactive and education science based programming at Augustana including a chemistry display and a tour of the campus. Collaborations such as the Science Fair not only benefit both Augustana and Grade 7 science students by giving them an opportunity to expand their science skills through mentoring and learning but also create valuable connectivity within the community.

Valleyview west proposed major development

By Lori Larsen

Valleyview West Phase 2 has the potential for a major commercial retail/ residential development as demonstrated by Camgill Development Corporation during an open house held on Feb. 2 at the Recreation Centre. Camgill project manager Elliot Fraser was on hand to explain the proposed development for the site and answer questions from Camrose residents, city councillors and other interested parties. “This is stage two of Valleyview West,” explained Fraser. “The first stage was 84 residential lots, where stage two is a little more of a mixed use including a multi-family site.” Fraser indicated the proposal includes approximately 40 single family and duplex lots and a multifamily site for possibly two apartment or condo style buildings, a large retail site and a school site.

“There is nothing written in stone yet but the city does want some density,” said Fraser. The proposed multifamily site would be located on the outer edge of the west side of the site. “There is enough room for a couple of apartment buildings,” said Fraser. “The response has been really good and the relationship we have with the city is very good. We want to keep that momentum going. We do have quite a bit of inventory. There are 84 lots and we are about 60 per cent sold.” The projected start date for construction is 2018. “We are starting the whole front end planning and subdivision and engineering process now and that always takes a long time.” Fraser commented that they (Camgill) have received some very good interest from various retailers for possibly locating on the retail site.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camgill project manager Elliot Fraser answered questions about the Valleyview West Phase 2 development during an open house on Feb. 2

“We brought it to the community opening so everyone knows our intent, that there is going to be some commercial there and we are hoping for a grocery tenant.” The proposed area allocated for retail is approximately 12 acres. “It is a relatively large site but it allows us to add the proper orientation for parking. We don’t want to squeeze things in. We kept the site a little larger because the bigger tenants like that there is plenty of

parking with wide drive lanes so it is safe.” As a result of taking over the development after the previous developer went bankrupt resulting in some people in the community losing money, Camgill has made it their mandate to gain the trust of the community and the city. “We are trying to keep in tune with what the original Valleyview West look was and now that we have some momentum we are working towards the typical shopping centres that

we like to build. We are not a developer that likes to flip, we build and own.” Fraser added that Camgill builds things that are going to last, are attractive and will impress their tenants as well as the community. The proposed development will also include a site for a school, a major part of the community outreach. The school site would consist of approximately eight to 12 acres of the development and would include the majority of the park settings including playing fields and a thorough fare parkway walkway. “It will kind of connect that trail system around and bring people into the centre of it as opposed to around it,” he said. “Having worked with the city that is the direction they wanted to go, it allows people to get safely to the schools in wide spaces. “The school site that we have dedicated is much too large for just a school so in the long term plan I think the city will have a community amenity area as well as the school.” Second and third reading as well as a public hearing for the proposed development will take place during the City regular council meeting on Feb. 21 at 5 p.m.

Cultivate your arts at gala

Affordable small business websites – created locally

It’s good for them!

By Murray Green

The second annual Cultivating The Arts Gala will mesmerize you with great singing, dancing and artwork on stage at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m. It will be the only Canadian date this spring. “We combine several different arts with live action painting where we paint portraits on canvas. All this happens while we have live music and dancing,” explained co-producer John de Wolf. “If we have 50s music then we will have painters painting icons from the same 50s time period. We are unique by combining the art forms together on stage, including puppetry, with our mission of involving the audience in their show.” The performance by Artrageous includes artists creating a masterpiece before your eyes in mere moments. With a palette that also mixes captivating vocals, intricate choreography and exciting audience interaction. “It is a unique visual journey from the 40s music to present day by touching on the icons and a few surprises. It is packed with wild inspiration and creativity,” said Francis. “We are very interactive with the audience with plenty of energy, a lot of fun and an inclusive experience. The key is that the audience quickly recognizes that we are a lot of fun, like each other on stage, young at heart, which creates a lot of trust that develops with the audience,” added de Wolf. “ The Artrageous troupe tribute a variety of art forms, pop icons and musical genres culminating in a gallery of fabulous finished paintings. The signature of Artrageous is interaction and engagement, so be prepared to be a part of the show. “It is more successful to us if the audience is singing along, dancing, clapping and joining us on stage. Sometimes we get children up to play rubber guitars with us and sing along,” said co-producer Lauri Francis. “The arts are a means to create an atmosphere where people want to be involved. That is the best way to describe out show,” added de Wolf. The troupe will bring 12 people that have several roles throughout the evening. “Lauri is a painter, singer and a dancer.

These films might be cherished memories for some or brand new to others but, whatever your perspective, they are classics. Shane

The classic Shane is set for showing on Sunday, Feb. 26 at 7 p.m. Shane rides into a conflict between cattleman Ryker and a bunch of settlers, like Joe Starrett and his family, whose land Ryker wants. When Shane beats up Ryker’s man Chris, Ryker tries to buy him. Then Shane and Joe take on the whole Ryker crew. Ryker sends to Cheyenne for truly evil gunslinger Wilson. Shane must clear out all the guns from the valley. Once upon

Lisa Brokop will transport the audience back to the heyday of country music as well as feature many of the hits that have made Lisa herself a favorite with audiences across North America.

He is accompanied by Harmonica, a man already on a quest to get even. The Good

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the sixth and final movie in the series on Sunday, April 30 at 7 p.m. During the American Civil War, three men set off to find $200,000 in buried gold coins. Tuco and Blondie have known each other for some time now having used the reward on Tuco’s head as a way of earning money. They come across a dying man, Bill Carson, who tells them of a treasure in gold coins. By chance, he tells Tuco the name of the cemetery and tells Blondie the name of the grave where the gold is buried. Now rivals, the two men have good reason to keep each other alive. The third man, Angel Eyes, hears of the gold stash from someone he’s been hired to kill. All shows include complimentary popcorn.

Tax tips offered for single parents Submitted by Janice Zimmerman, H&R Block

Raising a child on your own is a big job. Managing a family is a lot of work, so when it comes to your tax bill, there’s a few ways the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) helps out with expenses. We know it takes a village, so we’re helping out with nine tax tips that are sure to come in handy when you’re flying solo with kids. Single parents are allowed to claim the amount for an eligible dependent (sometimes referred to as “equivalent to spouse”) for one of their children. To qualify for this, you have to support your child in a dwelling that you live in and maintain. If there are two children and the parents share joint custody, then each parent can claim the equivalent for one of the children. But, if you pay child support, you can’t claim this credit. This benefit amount is a monthly payment, and is intended to help out with the costs of raising a child. It’s calculated by your household income level, so the amount you can receive depends on your earnings. In joint custody situations, the benefit can be split, and each parent gets 50 pre cent of what they would have received if they were the only caregiver. If your divorce or separation agreement is dated after May 1, 1997 then child support payments are neither taxable nor deductible, but you do need to report them on your tax return. No matter what your custody situation is, the Children’s Fitness Amount can be claimed by either parent, but can’t exceed $500 in total per

Balance your shopping needs with saving money for the future.

Pay yourself first to save From TD Canada Trust

Paying yourself first simply means that you make it a habit to put money into your savings account first — as soon as you get paid, and before you have time to spend it on things you don’t really need. No matter how much or how little you earn, you probably have more than enough ways to spend your paycheque. The best of intentions

child. There’s also a Children’s Arts Amount of up to $250 per child, but both of these credits will be eliminated by 2017. Childcare expenses add up fast, but you can ease the pain by claiming them on your return. To do this right, you need to have receipts from your daycare or babysitter. If you happen to be paying a family member to look after your children, you can claim these costs too as long as they are 18 or over, and provide a receipt with their SIN. Just remind your helpful family member that they’ll also need to report this income on their tax return. If you decide to move

in with the other parent of your child, you’re considered common-law for tax purposes right away. If you move in with someone else, you’re only considered common-law after you’ve lived together for a year. If you get married or become common-law, you should report this change to the CRA using a RC65 Form. Changes to your marital status, including common-law changes, will probably affect your claim amounts as well as your eligibility for the Canada Child Benefit. Most of the time, once your child turns 18, they’re no longer considered a dependent for tax purposes, even if

you continue to support them. But there is an exception: if your child is 18 or older and is unwell or needs special attention, you can still claim them as a dependant. If your child is getting a post-secondary education, they might be able to provide you with unused tuition and educations credits if they can bring their tax bill to zero without them. They can transfer these credits to you even if they are older than 18. Whether you have one child or a house full of kids, single parenting is a balancing act. Using helpful tax credits and deductions is a small way to lighten the load.

If you’re like most Canadians, you have really good intentions to save whatever’s left over after your expenses have been covered. The problem is that there’s usually not much money left. So your savings never grow. It’s time to shift into payyourself-first mode, and shift your priorities. How to do it

Set up a Pre-authorized Transfer Service to make it easy, and to make sure it happens. Even if you think you don’t have enough to save, start with a small amount. Maybe you put away $100 each payday, or $25 or even $10. After a few months, you probably won’t even notice the deduction, and you may even find you can increase the amount. When you put a little bit aside from each paycheque and put it into your savings, you’re paying yourself first – and making your future your top priority.

tax reduction when one spouse has very little income, and the other has a lot. Another way to reduce taxes is through transfer amounts. If one parent is unable to completely offset their age amount, pension income and disability amount against their taxes payable, they can transfer the unused portion to their spouse’s return. Claim medical expenses,. Globe trotters traveling to another country purchase medical insurance for the trip; it’s considered a medical expense. If you traveled to obtain medical treatment that wasn’t available locally, you might be able to claim the cost of transportation, meals and accommodation, depending on how far they needed to go. Apply for the disability tax credit. If you qualify for the Disability Tax Credit but don’t have enough taxable

income to take full advantage of it, you might be able to transfer an unused amount to a supporting partner or your dependable child. In order to qualify for this, your parent must depend on you for all or some of the basic necessities of life. If you live in a retirement home and are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit, you can claim the costs relating to attendant care as medical expense. To make this claim, the retirement home provides you with an invoice detailing the amount paid for attendant care, which includes housekeeping, laundry, transportation and meal preparation. Rent and food expenses are not covered. If you claim attendant care in excess of $10,000, you cannot also claim the disability tax credit. You can also claim nursing home expenses for fulltime care in a nursing home.

Protect your ne$t egg.

Make sure you file a tax return. Sounds simple, but some folks think that if they didn’t earn an income, they shouldn’t file a return. Filing always makes sense, because they could be entitled to other credits, deductions and benefits that get triggered once they file a tax return. For example, they’d need to file to receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), Alberta Senior Benefits– and filing late could interrupt these benefits, GST/ HST credits and other automatic benefits. Split pension income. Seniors are allowed to split up to half of their eligible pension income with a spouse or common-law partner; so essentially, you can assign a portion of what you earned throughout the year to your better half. This can mean a significant

Josh Zablocki showed no love for his opponents as he scored the first goal and assisted on the next two to lead the Camrose Kodiaks to a 3-0 lead and a 6-4 victory over the Cal-

gary Mustangs on Valentine’s Day. “It always feels good to come out of the gate and score the first couple of goals. It was good for my confidence and good for the boys,” said Zablocki.

Camrose took advantage of Mustang penalties and connected on four of six power plays. “We have been working on the power play lately, so that was good to see. It felt rewarding to finally capitalize on that,” he added. “We are incorporating a little more movement, activating our defencemen more and getting the pucks to the net. I think that has been working well.” Cooper Johnson, Jake McCool, Nic Correale, Ryan Hartman and Bryson Traptow all netted single markers for the Kodiaks. Zablocki was injured early in the season and has fought back to score six goals and 18 points in 31 games. “I feel like I’m catching my stride again here after an unfortunate injury and that’s hockey. I’m hitting my stride before playoffs and that is perfect for me,” said Zablocki. Goalie Patrick Gora

stopped 33 of 37 saves in the Camrose net. The Kodiaks fired 46 shots at the horse’s cage. “We feel like it is starting to roll and when you put together a couple of wins the boys are more confident and we can gain momentum. We want to keep that going into playoffs and that will help us,” he said. Camrose won’t be finishing in first place this season, so they are concentrating on gaining home ice advantage in the first round of playoffs. “Definitely that is the goal for us right now. We will try to sneak up in the standings and catch that final home advantage spot, or even slip into second or third. Boris (coach Rybalka) has us thinking that every game from now on is a game seven. It’s playoff hockey and we just need to put together more wins,” said the power forward. “It is easier to focus that way.” Hartman scored the game

winner during the shoot out to give his team a 3-2 victory over the Canmore Eagles, Feb. 10. Defenceman T. J. Brown opened the scoring on a power play tally before the Eagles came back with one in the second and another in the third period. Colin Schmidt forced overtime by scoring in the third frame. Both squads failed at win the game in the overtime period. Gora turned away 37 of 39 shots directed his way, not including three straight saves in the shootout. It is Zablocki’s last year of junior. “I want to win and that is my number one priority. By winning it may provide an opportunity to later on next year. Focusing on winning will help everyone in the long run,” said Zablocki. The last regular season home game is against the Drayton Valley Thunder on Feb. 25.

Sharing Camrose with Quebec By Lori Larsen

Taking advantage of an opportunity to see and learn about a different part of Canada all the while sharing the community of Camrose is what 11 (15 to 18-year-old) Camrose French Immersion high school students did from Feb. 13 to 21 during an Experiences Canada Exchange to Quebec. Members of the Camrose local chapter of Canadian Parents for French (CPF), made an application to Experiences Canada in October 2016 and received notice that Camrose was accepted for an exchange in Collège des Hauts Sommets in Saint-Tite-desCaps, (45 minutes from Quebec City.) Experiences Canada is a reciprocal homestay exchange program between two Canadian youth groups (between ages 12 and 17 years) in different parts of Canada. The objective of the program is to contribute to the increased knowledge and understanding of Canada with Canadian youth and help them develop a Canadian identity. “When I worked in Quebec 20 years ago I helped organize one of these exchanges and I told myself when I had children I would organize one for them,” said coordinator Ramona Parent-Boyd. Travelling expenses between community airports (airfare and ground transfer buses if locations are located 100 km or farther from airport) are funded by the Experiences Canada through Youth Exchanges Canada and by the Department of Canadian Heritage and the students will be billeted with a host family in Quebec who will in turn be sending 13 students and two chaperones to Alberta in April during spring break. “The college is a private boarding school. Our group stayed in the dormitories during the week with their partner student and then stayed with their partner’s family on the weekend,” explained Parent-Boyd. Neither the Quebec or Camrose exchange students will be attending school instead they will be participating in cultural, heritage, language, historical and other programs and activities. The students were accompanied by two chaperones from Camrose Ramona Parent-Boyd and Pam Stacey. All host families chosen for the exchange are required to undergo strict security screening and are subject to home visits by the group organizer. “The students are not supposed to be a left alone, if it is not one of the chaperones then an experienced parent must be with the

student at all times,” said Parent-Boyd. The only out-of-pocket expenses incurred by participants in the exchange program include a $100 application fee and any hosting costs when the partner community returns the visit. Such costs may include local activities, excursions, and transportation during the exchange. As two of the Camrose students participating in the program Molly Boyd and Hannah Gau were most excited about meeting new friends, improving their French language skills and being able to experience Quebec and the culture in a very real way. “ We experienced French culture first hand,” said Hannah. “We were not just doing tourist activities we actually went to an all French community and stayed with their family.” Molly explained the importance of experiences such as these exchanges to students and young people. “It gets you out of your comfort zone. It is a challenge to go somewhere new and stay with people you don’t know at all.” Hannah added. “It

Without hesitation Hannah added, “For a small community we have a lot to showcase. We have a really nice performing arts centre and lots of programs from sports to performing arts.” Being able to experience programs such as the Experiences Canada Through Youth Exchange not only benefits the participants, but other students and their communities as well. Molly commented on how this can help to put Camrose on the map. “All these Quebec people will hear about Camrose and maybe that will encourage them to come here to visit.” Both girls indicated that they look forward to showing off Camrose when the students from Quebec return the visit in April. During the exchange to Camrose in April participants and the host families will partake in many of the wonderful activities and sites Camrose has to offer and will be enjoying a planned trip to the Rockies with a three day stay in Canmore exploring Banff and Lake Louise.

might make us appreciate French culture more and encourage us to have more French culture in our lives. Whether that means going back to Quebec or maybe attending French university basically engaging in more French.” When asked what they told their Quebec student partner and host families about living in Camrose both girls smiled. “The nature aspect of Camrose is great,” said Molly “All the valley with lots of trees and there is lots of skiing, walking and biking trails. And it is a friendly community.”

CPF is a national network of volunteers which values French as an integral part of Canada and which is dedicated to the promotion and creation of French-second-language learning opportunities for young Canadians. While members of Camrose CPF are not planning any fundraising events to offset the costs to the Camrose host families they welcome any type of sponsorship. If you would like to offer sponsorship or funding towards the Alberta hosting contact Ramona at 780-679-2355.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Our Lady Mount Pleasant Grade 11 student Tanner Ford carefully adds another layer of wax to his Ukrainian egg.

A dying art By Lori Larsen

Our Lady Mount Pleasant art teacher Kristy Smith treated Grades 7 to 12 art students to a lesson in creating stunning Ukrainian egg art. Guest speaker Lyrissa Sheptak, is a writer, editor, historian and mother of four children. During the class Sheptak provided the students with a history lesson on the art of writing Pysanky and the opportunity to create their own works of art. “It is an endangered art form,” said Sheptak “Because of what happened under Communism rule all those years ago. The Russians, at that time, wanted to halt any of the Republicans practicing their culture, tradition, religion even speaking their own language.” Writing Pysanky, better known as creating Ukrainian eggs, involves the art of creating decorative eggs by using the written-wax batik method and utilizing traditional folk motifs and designs. Pysanky is derived from the noun Pysanka, which

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster A pattern of intricate designs and dyes makes each Ukrainian egg unique. OLMP Grade 11 student Crismi Welgamage concentrates on her work of art.

means to write, so technically each decorated egg represents a story. Sheptak explained that many Ukrainians who actually live in Ukraine do not know how to write Psyanky while some of the original Ukrainians who came to Canada (the New World) have been able to carry on the tradition. “As a result we (Ukrainian Canadians) find we are the ones who are teaching it to full-blooded Ukrainians. “It is an ancient (preChristian) meditative process dating back to the Trypillian To the time of Noah, it is that old,” noted Sheptak. “In these pre Christian times, when they were doing it (Pysanky) their god was the sun because it gave life to everything they needed to survive. The bird was the closest thing that could get to the sun so they revered the bird. They would decorate eggs in Trypillian patterns bury them in fields or gardens for prosperity or under the threshold of their house for safety.” According to Sheptak, after Ukraine converted to Christianity many of the symbols and colours used to decorate the eggs changed to reflect prosperity, fertility, marriage and luck and included the images still used today such as crosses, palms, pussy willows and wheat. The eggs are created close to Easter so they can be placed in blessed Easter baskets filled with food that hold symbolic meaning. “The tradition is that you are to give them (eggs) away to someone special after they are blessed. It is symbolic of passing love. Often times people would do these with very specific symbols and colours so it was very symbolic to the person they gave it to.” By teaching the art to others Sheptak hopes they will practice it and keep the tradition alive. “The school system has made it part of curriculum. Not only can it fit in with religion and art it is actually part of Grade 3 and 4 curriculum with immigration and studying Ukraine.” After instructions on the use of the Kystka (writing tool), candle and beeswax, students of the OLMP art class attentively applied layers of wax then dye eventually resulting in intricate patterns and symbols imprinted onto the eggs. The quietness of the art room spoke for itself. Students appeared absorbed in the art and anxious to see the masterpieces they created. Sheptak delights in sharing the art, but more important the Ukraine culture. “In Canada, we have the freedom to be who we are and practice our tradition, which gives us the opportunity to revitalize these traditions and share our culture with other people.” Sheptak, not only spends hours creating her own Psyanky, but also offers workshops to schools, churches and anyone interested in learning the craft.

Vintage plates for your classic vehicle By Murray Green

After you have restored or repaired an older vehicle you need to decide on your driving habits, where or when you will taking that vehicle on the road. If you are driving the vehicle like any other that are currently on the road they you simply go to a registry office and complete the paper work. However, an antique passenger or motorcycle plate is available for vehicles or motorcycles that are 25 years old or more. “An antique plate can only used as a collector’s item in exhibitions, in club activities, parades, as transportation to and from these events and as transportation to servicing appointments,” said Karen Dammann, manager of Camrose Registry. “Once you have an antique plate, you don’t have to renew it. You only have to register it once with one fee. That is the good thing about an antique plate.” To purchase an antique plate, you must provide acceptable identification, the vehicle must be a minimum of 25 years old, if

it’s imported you need an import form, have proof of ownership and if the vehicle is from outside Alberta, you have a vehicle inspection. “If the vehicle is too old to be included the registry system anymore, it would need an out of province inspection, even if it was an Alberta vehicle,” explained Karen. “If the vehicle is not in the system, we would have create it again. We can only create a file if it has an out of province inspection.” Restoring and registering a vehicle without a serial number can be done. “You would have to get a serial number assigned to that vehicle and the cost is a little over $500 and that is through the Insurance Bureau of Canada. We have forms to fill out to start the process, or they are available on line. That is above what it costs normally to register the vehicle,” she added. Only approved certified mechanics can perform out of province inspections. Check with your local mechanics for details. Forms are available at the registry office.

Check your brakes

Anyone who has driven in winter conditions doesn’t need to be told just how important it is to have a good set of brakes on their vehicle. While your driving style can actually help your brakes last longer, you still need to have them checked regularly. One of the best things you can do to ensure your safety on the road this winter is to have your entire braking system checked before the cold winter arrives. Many people don’t realize just how much the cold weather can affect their brakes. Colder

temperatures can harden rubber parts and cause them to crack under pressure. There are also certain types of brakes that let water or snow penetrate the mechanism, particularly if the small rubber plug is missing (in the case of drum brakes), causing the mechanism to freeze. You might be surprised by how common it is for some vehicles to have one or more brakes frozen solid. What’s more, rust can also take its toll and cause certain parts to break, even in the middle of winter.

Smooches for pet pooches By Lori Larsen

Morning plans gone awry

I had decided it was time to become a morning person. Really and truly, I was going to do it. Set the alarm for 6 a.m. each morning and soak in the morningness. And then somehow my plans went astray. I highly value my sleep. My children are finally at an age where I have laid down the law on what are acceptable reasons to wake mommy up (fire, throwing up, growing pains) and what can wait until the morning (finger nail that needs clipping–yes, I have been woken up for this). When I was growing up, everyone in my family tended towards staying up late and then sleeping until the last possible second in the morning. Lunches and school bags were packed the night before and an apple would replace a bowl of homemade porridge if I was really short on time as a teen. I can remember those mornings when it was obvious that we were nearing lateness. My dad said that the car wasn’t the place to make up for lost time, so we would turn our puppy dog eyes to my mom and beseech her to take the keys, which did result in a couple of speeding tickets over the years. As an adult, my best friend, whom I went to school with throughout elementary, junior and high school, made a comment about playing outside in the morning before school began. I literally had to pause the conversation and ask her to repeat herself. I had no idea what she was talking about–other kids did that? Before school? A few months ago, I read an interesting article about the personality traits of evening versus morning people. Apparently scientists have even given people labels; larks for morning people and owls for night owls. The article stated that evening types are likely to have higher intelligence scores, and are more partial to addictive habits. Larks, on the other hand, are persistent, cooperative, agreeable and conscientious. They also procrastinate less. Morning types are also happier, the story claimed. Then I read elsewhere that there are also hummingbird types–people who are able to function well both early and late. Studies suggest that being a morning person or an evening person is built into our genes, the same as our hair and eye colour. I think that it has a lot to do with how we were raised. I had heard of the mythical wife who would wake up early and cook her husband a hearty breakfast before he headed off to work. In our early married years, I tried to be supportive of my husband’s earlier start time for work and would sit at the table with him, yawning and rubbing my eyes. He would always look at me and say, “Why are you awake?” So I recently decided that I needed a one week trial period to see if I could change my night owl tendencies. As I prepared for my new 9 p.m. bedtime and 6 a.m. wake up, I wondered: would I be more tired? Would I get as much done? I armed myself with a few tips like go outside as soon as possible after waking up and keep evenings quiet. Then wouldn’t you know it, but the night owl in me began to procrastinate and I couldn’t quite force myself to commit to early morning wake ups. It occurred to me that my biggest annoyance with sleep is not being able to fall asleep quickly. My husband is often snoring softly an hour before I have fallen asleep. Both my husband and mother-in-law can fall asleep in any sort of uncomfortable position, with any number of children milling about. That is a real skill. I have heard that in the military they train soldiers to master falling asleep quickly. If they only have half an hour or 10 minutes to sleep, they don’t have time to waste counting sheep. I found these top tips from the military and realized (eureka!) that maybe I am actually a hummingbird who needs to master falling asleep quickly. The military recommends exercising regularly and according to the National Sleep Foundation, people sleep significantly better if they get at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. The military also recommends going to bed and waking up at the same time every day, laying out clothes the night before, and making our beds because our brains thrive on order. Time to embrace my inner hummingbird!

Protecting the interests of cats, dogs and other small animals is the number one objective of the Camrose and Area Animal Shelter Society. On Feb. 4, the Society held a Kissing Booth photo event at Pet Valu (Camrose) with photos done by Wanda Kirk of Kirk Photos, to raise funds for the animal shelter. The event raised approximately $350 including sales from photos, t-shirts and society memberships. “We became a society about a year ago,” said volunteer for the society Lynn Horsman. “Since then we have been fundraising in order to secure enough money to open an animal shelter. That is our objective.” The Society would like to open a multi species animal shelter that would be able to house a variety of animals that find themselves in need of care and shelter. “It is going to take a lot of money we have a small amount of money and we are raising more.” Presently the society has $6,000 raised towards the shelter. “If we were to become a proper multi species animal shelter we would have to have land,” explained Horsman. “We could end up with sheep and horses or other types of outdoor animals.” If not on land the Society would have to acquire a city lot and building in Camrose. “It would be mostly for cats,” said Hors-

man. “Although we would be open for dogs, rabbits, ferrets or turtles-small domestic animals.” Horsman explained that other municipalities similar in size to Camrose, such as Wetaskiwin, Leduc and Beaumont do have animal shelters and that the Camrose society has done research and determined the cost of a veterinarian alone, for running such a shelter, is approximately $70,000. “That is just an example of the money we are trying to raise then there is rent, utilities, phone and staffing.” To begin with much of the staffing would be done on a volunteer basis. Thus far the society has held fund raising events including a Pet Expo, two photo with your pet events, one at Christmas and the recent Valentine event held on Feb. 4 and some successful bottle drives. Despite sincere efforts to raise funds the Society is in a transition and realizes because of the growing situation with stray animals, specifically cats, other actions need to be investigated. “The cat issue is huge,” remarked Horsman. “We have cats that are freezing and starving to death right here in our city. “Fundraising isn’t enough. We have to start thinking of the animals and doing something else.” Horsman spoke about several rescue groups presently in Camrose that take

JUST ONE KISS

in stray cats and try to adopt or foster them out. “They (rescue groups) incur the cost of housing and care (including vet bills) themselves.” Horsman explained that there has been an increase in the amount of stray cats in the past little while. “Up until two years ago the city had a contract with Dr. Bibby, who took care of all the stray and injured animals in the city. But that contract has expired and nothing has been done to replace it as far as cats are concerned. Dogs are going out to Long Lane Boarding Kennels through the city.” Horsman added that if and when a shelter did come to fruition there could easily be 50 to 60 cats right at the beginning, but the number would decrease once people began spaying and neutering their animals. “It is so important that people spay and neuter their pets.” The Camrose and Area Animal Shelter meets the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in the community room at the Real Canadian Superstore.

Spread the word By Lori Larsen

The use of certain terms in our society can not only be archaic but in many instances offensive. Educating society on the use of positive terms when making reference to certain groups or individuals is often a critical part of changing attitudes as well. On March 1 (the first Wednesday of March) Camrose and area residents are encouraged to join in a world wide campaign Spread the Word to End the Word and raise awareness about the harm using the “R” word (retard or retarded) can have when referring to people with intellectual disabilities which is considered a cruel form of bullying. Founded by college students Soeren Plumbo (Notre Dame) and Tim Shriver(Yale) the Spread the Word to End the Word initiative continues to be led by Special Olympics and Best Buddies participants throughout the world. Nearly three per cent of the worlds population (over 200 million people) have some form of intellectual disability. Spread the Word to End the Word campaign encourages people to take a pledge to stop saying the R-word as a springboard to creating more accepting attitudes within all communities for all people. Local Camrosian Cheryl Carter spoke in strong support of the Spread the Word campaign. “It is a good thing,” she said. “It gets people to stop and take action and change that word to something else.” Carter added how the “R” word shouldn’t have been in the vocabulary in the first place and that people need to replace it with something far less offensive. “Change the word to something like ridiculous or red riding hood.” Carter also said that when she hears someone using the word she either ignores them or, depending on who is using it and how, she will suggest to them that it is rude and just change the word. And change is exactly what Spread the Word to End the Word is promoting. Not just changing the use of the word but changing society’s mentality when it comes to people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. “I have lots of friends who are in the same boat as I am,” remarked Carter in reference to her own disability. “We all stick up for each other because we really are just like everybody else and want to be treated the same as everybody else.” Continued on page 28

Christal Ruth Lentz

Therese “Terri” Caouette

July 12, 1990 ~ January 23, 2017

May 18, 1925 ~ February 11, 2017

Christal was born on July 12, 1990 to Carrie and Marvin Lentz in Dawson Creek, BC. She was suddenly called Home to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on January 23, 2017 when in a fatal motor vehicle accident near Lake Country, BC. Christal will be lovingly remembered by her parents; her brother Daniel Lentz; sister Chloe Lentz-Scott and husband Ryan Scott; nephews Evan and Brandtlee Scott; and her dear grandfathers Sig Lentz of Camrose and Perc Ridge of Adelaide, Australia. She was predeceased by her grandmothers Ruth Ridge and Marg Lentz. Christal’s very name identified her commitment to Jesus Christ — “Christ is all in all” as in Colossians 3:11. To Christal, Jesus Christ is the ‘Pearl of Great Price’ and she wore this like a cross necklace and a wedding ring. Family knew her fondly as “Angel Girl”. Should her life have been a drama production, it could have been named Brushed by an Angel. Christal’s artistic touches put her love of God’s nature skillfully onto the canvas of people’s hearts, in artistic design woodworking, in writing and in music. Her God-given gifts also overflowed into music — expressed in performance and composition. It was impossible to quiet the song in her heart. Singing was a way of life for Christal. She was not just a lover of all nature and God’s creations, but she was really a part of nature, at home with the animals, birds and fish. The last two-and-a-half years, Christal worked as the Children’s Program Coordinator for the Salvation Army in Kamloops. A beautiful memorial service was held there in her honor on February 5, 2017. Christal Ruth Lentz was laid to rest in Coldstream, BC on February 10, 2017. The family are inviting everyone whose lives have been “brushed” by Christal in some way to a luncheon at 1:30 p.m. at the Messiah Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall on February 19, 2017. It will be a time to feature and appreciate her paintings of spectacular mountain scenery on their walls. The luncheon will be followed by a formal service of meditation, music and memories at 3:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted in memory of Christal to a project that her father Marvin Lentz is coordinating to continue Christal’s Living Legacy. This project will entail a cottage overlooking a property in Lumby, BC that was to be Christal’s. Donations can be sent by email to info@christalnatureretreat.org. In regards to the monetary, material, labor donations, a website has been developed at christalnatureretreat.org. Look for monthly updates.

Looking for lost phone By Murray Green

Neil Morton is asking the community for help in finding his phone. His son took the phone to Charlie Killam School one day and it was lost in, or around the middle school in Camrose. The phone went missing last fall and didn’t turn up

in the lost and found items at the school, or in his locker. “I have about four years worth of family pictures and contact information in the phone that I would like back,” he said. If you find the phone contact Neil at morcom@ eagle.ca or 780-781-0082.

Police responded to a complaint of a domestic disturbance. It was determined that no physical violence had occurred and the verbal argument was mediated. Police assisted with an aggressive female who was acting irrational. Her demeanor was believed to have been caused by an unknown drug and she was taken to St. Mary’s Hospital for an assessment.

Peder Kristian Johansen of Camrose passed away on Tuesday, February 14, 2017 at the age of 86 years. Peder was born on March 2, 1930 in Filskov, Denmark. He was the second oldest of seven children. Peder married G. Marie Andersen on August 6, 1955. They lived in Denmark for five years. After the loss of their infant daughter, they had their second child Aase Marie. They immigrated to Canada on March 26, 1960. Peder worked on a variety of dairy farms and, during this time, they had their third child John Erling. Two years later, they welcomed their fourth child Dennis Gordon. Times were very hard for the young Johansen family as Peder had serious unexpected health issues and financial burdens. In 1966, the family settled on the Jespersen farm. Peder quickly earned the respect of the Jespersen family and became an integral part of the dairy operation. During this time, they welcomed their fifth child George Edward. In 1967, Peder, Marie and Aase were very proud to become Canadian citizens. Over the next eight years, life flourished for the family; many lifelong bonds and friendships were made at this time. After leaving the Jespersen farm, Peder wished to purchase his own farm, but things did not work out. Opportunity arose in Camrose for Peder to work at NADP and also to purchase their family home. Working a nine to five job, Peder found he had spare time which led to many hobbies such as woodworking and gardening, with particular attention to the apple trees. Peder and Marie enjoyed doing everything together such as dancing, fishing and taking their grandchildren camping in “Old Betsy” every summer. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Gudrun “Marie” Johansen; children Aase (Vern) Andres of Barrhead, John (Ina) Johansen of Clyde, Dennis (Pat) Johansen of Barrhead and George (Wanda) Johansen of Thorhild; eight grandchildren; 11 greatgrandchildren; brother Hans (Inger) Johansen of Denmark; sister Karen (Knud) Jacobsen of Denmark; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews in Canada and Denmark. Peder was predeceased by his infant daughter; parents Johannas and Kirstine; sisters Petra and Hanna; and brothers Henrick and Poul. Peder will be missed by family and friends, but they are assured he is at peace now. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 21, 2017 from Scandia Lutheran Church with Rev. Charlotte Strecker-Baseler officiating. Inurnment will take place in the Scandia Cemetery. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Louise Jensen Care Facility. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

BRCF presents to Boys and Girls Club

Follow the Drinking Gourd

A shout-out to the wonderful Vancouver band, the Wooden Horsemen and Rose City Roots Music Society for inspiring this column. The band led off their concert with the hauntingly elegiac “Follow the Drinking Gourd.” Out came my pen and in the half-light of the Bailey Theatre I scribbled some notes. Of course, the gourd in this song is the Big Dipper and it pointed the way north to Rani Palo, freedom for African-Americans History, Augustana escaping bondage prior to the Campus, University Civil War. Engaging with the of Alberta history of slavery in the United States is central to Black History Month and can’t be ignored. African slaves first set foot in the future United States in 1619 Virginia. By the time of America’s Independence War and the famous 1776 Declaration of Independence some 400,000 people were held as property. Thomas Jefferson, future president and the declaration’s principal author, was himself a slave owner as he dipped his pen in acid and wrote “all men are created equal.” At the time of independence in 1783 slaves in the new states of the North had been freed by the vicissitudes of war. In the South, however, the longer growing season, different soils, and topography favoured and fostered labour-intensive crops and encouraged the expansion of what the historian Kenneth Stampp would call “The Peculiar Institution”. As one ex-slave would recall, “We worked from can see, to c’aint see.” The nascent republic was beset by regional and economic disparities and lacked a functioning central government. America’s Founders, however, found a way. In the sultry summer of 1787, 55 delegates gathered in Philadelphia to construct America’s now sacred Constitution. The 55 were all white men of considerable means and nearly half owned slaves. Samuel Johnson, the great British man of letters, mockingly asked the Founders why the greatest cries for freedom came from “the drivers of slaves?” The South, undaunted, went on record: Slavery would continue where it existed or there would be no Constitutional accord. After a lengthy and fraught ratification process all of the young states adopted the new blueprint by 1789. The Peculiar Institution, therefore, was left for future generations to wrestle with. The newly minted Electoral College then selected war hero George Washington, another slave owner, as the first president of the now United States. During his first administration Congress passed the first Fugitive Slave Act that enjoined people in the free-soil states to return runaway slaves to their Southern masters. The act would be only feebly enforced. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 from France, doubled the size of the new nation and by the 1830s Manifest Destiny was the zeitgeist and the westward march of “civilization” and a uniquely American brand of Empire was relentless. By 1848, the United States held even more new land, stretching from Texas to California. The Mexican War was scarcely over when gold was discovered northeast of San Francisco and “the world rushed in”. California’s population grew so dramatically that the territory was eligible for statehood in 1850 and it was clear that it would be free-soil. But the South’s support would be needed in the statehood process and the future Confederacy received the quid-pro-quo it wanted: a new Fugitive Slave Act, with teeth. The only true safety now for escaping slaves would be Canada. Black and White abolitionists created an “Underground Railroad”, with stations, safe-houses, and conductors. Gateways such as Buffalo, Detroit, and Lake Placid up in the Adirondack Mountains just below the Quebec line, funneled former slaves to freedom. The most famous of the “conductors” was ex-slave Harriet Tubman. In the 1850s Tubman relocated to St-Catherines, Ontario just west of Buffalo to facilitate re-settlement. She also made numerous trips Stateside, at considerable risk. When the Civil War began in 1861 Tubman offered her services to Abraham Lincoln and served the president’s armies first as a nurse and then a spy. This heroic individual even participated in a daring Union naval raid that removed over 700 slaves from coastal South Carolina in 1863. On April 20, 2016, the United States Treasury Department announced that Tubman would grace the new $20-bill replacing Andrew Jackson. History’s hidden hand turns, at times, with sublime irony.

Submitted Battle River Community Foundation board member Marshall Wideman, left, watched as Arnie Mackowosky presented a cheque to Rees James, executive director of the Camrose and District Boys and Girls Club.

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a grant to the Camrose and District Boys and Girls Club. The grant is from income from the Camrose Boys and Girls Club Fund. The fund was created through a project initiated by Arnie Mackowosky to benefit the Camrose Boys and Girls Club. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta which benefit the

local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Com-

munity Foundation has granted over $4,470,000 to support community facilities and programs such as the Camrose Boys and Girls Club. To learn more about the Camrose Boys and Girls Club, contact Rees James, executive director at 780-672-8004. To learn more about the Battle River Community Foundation contact Dana Andreassen, executive director, at 780-679-0449.

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.

Vikings advance to curling provincials

Flagstaff County is recruiting for the permanent full-time position of

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE TECHNICIAN

By Murray Green

The Augustana Vikings women’s and men’s curling teams advanced to the provincials hosted by Lakeland, Feb. 24 to 26. The Augustana women’s team went 2-3 at NAIT in the winter regionals to earn a fourway tie for second place. The ladies tied for third overall with a 5-5 record. “I thought at the second regional we pulled together as a team more and played a lot better,” said women’s lead Katelyn Skolski. “The communication was way better. Our scores and record don’t reflect our play. The games we lost came down to last shot, or we could have easily won by changing something. We have the ability to beat everyone and our biggest enemy is ourselves.” The team is currently refining their play to avoid little mistakes. “We all get along and have good chemistry together. We need to encourage each other when we make mistakes and help fix them,” said the second year Vikings curler. “I wanted to come to Augustana because it is like a tight-knit family almost. You can get to know everyone, even your professors. I wanted to curl because the last two years before I was involved in competitive junior curling. I’m excited to curl at the college level for the next two years as well.” By hosting nationals, it pushed the Vikings to qualify for provincials. “Everyone wants to win their way to nationals and not just be hosts. We want to prove we belong at nationals, so that is part of our motivation,” said Kaitlyn. “It’s cool that it is here because family, friends and fellow students can come and watch.” Although the Vikings are pushing for the top two spots, they will have to contend with number one ranked Concordia at provincials. “Our last game with them came down to the last shot. We know we can beat them and that game gave us extra incentive for the next time we play them.” The men’s team posted a 2-4 record to place fourth. The men were 5-7 over all, good enough for third as well. Continued on page 30

Vikings advance to curling provincials Continued from page 29

Men’s second Austin Lavallee is excited to move on to provincials and nationals. “It will be a good experience for me because I didn’t go to high school provincials. Gaining college provincial and national experience will help me in the future. It will give me more confidence. I came to Augustana because I wanted a bigger role on the team in my first year here. Normally, I’m a skip, but playing second allows me to learn all aspects of curling,” he said. “At this last regionals we were disappointed with our record, but all of the teams improved and we are working harder at improving before provincials.” The team started slow, but curled better as the event went on. “We went 2-0 on the last day, so we were curling much better. We tend to always have a slow start, so we are working on having a better start,” Austin said. “Finding our draw weight early in the game is crucial for us. At nationals here, we will be used to the draw weight.” He said the team is strong at take-outs. “Our weakness is our release point because we tend to throw it offline a bit. That is something we are focusing on now in practice,” Austin said. “I think there is an even playing field. We have beat every team except Red Deer and we can beat them. Any team can win it. Most teams will think about Red Deer and may overlook us and that might be to our advantage.” Augustana and the Rose City Curling Club are hosting nationals on March 22 to 24.

Stepping stone to the future By Lori Larsen

Habitat for Humanity Camrose held a Hope Builders Reception for donors, volunteers, significant others, friends, and the general public as a show of appreciation and an opportunity to meet this year’s two partner families, on Jan. 27. Guests were treated to hors d’oeuvres and a wine tasting while they mingled around the Camrose ReStore location. Partner family Brenna O’Neil and children Chanel, 10, Hailey, 8, Kaydence 4, and partner family Leslie Moscibroski and children Adellie, 5, Dawson, 4, and Maci, 5 months, were introduced during the reception. For Moscibroski, being the recipient of a habitat home is truly a gift. “With three kids it is really hard to maintain a steady savings income,” said Moscibroski. “Receiving this home will benefit my children in the long run and helps me to get closer to my dream of owning a bigger home on an acreage.” Moscibroski heard about Habitat and all the good it does through other members of the community

who have received Habitat homes, and this not only inspired her to be a Habitat volunteer but to apply for the program herself. “In 2014, I helped with the build,” said Moscibroski. Moscibroski advised others interested in obtaining Habitat’s assistance with acquiring a home to be proud to receive the help and never take things for granted. “I talk about Habitat quite a bit and I am proud to tell others I was lucky enough to receive a home.” On a final note Moscibroski thanked everybody from Habitat and all the volunteers for all the effort they put in to making dreams a reality. As part of Habitat for Humanity Canada the Camrose affiliate has built 30 homes for deserving Camrose families the addition of these next two builds this summer, will bring the total 32 homes.

There is nothing quite like spending a cool, sunny day out on the lake catching some awesome pike while enjoying the company of others and some Augustana Earthwise Club members did just that on Jan. 29. Joined by members of the Camrose Fish and Game Association 14 students got to experience a day of ice fishing at Tillicum beach. “Many of the students were international and excited to experience an authentic Canadian winter activity,” said Camrose Fish and Game member Lorne Ferguson. “The Augustana Earthwise student club has been working to promote food sustainability and this was an opportunity to engage students in a way of getting food from a direct source.” In an effort to educate students on the sport of ice fishing members of the CFG volunteered to assist the students with drilling holes, setting rods and reeling in the fish. “Approximately six to eight Northern Pike were

caught over the half day trip and although none were big enough to keep and eat, everyone enjoyed the thrill of having a fish come up through the ice and being out on the lake,” added Ferguson. Initiatives such as this are another way communities, such as Augustana and the Camrose Fish and Game Association, come together to provide opportunities to learn about the valuable natural resources that surround Camrose.
