A traffic stop was conducted on a vehicle with a licence plate that did not match. The male driver was issued tickets for no registration and operating a motor vehicle without a license. The male passenger was arrested and charged after it was determined that he was breaching conditions of his probation.

Governments invest in improved housing facilities
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Dr. Odell Olson, Bethany Nursing Home of Camrose board chair addressed residents of Wild Rose Villa and members of the community in response to the Federal and Provincial governments announcement about housing facility upgrade funding. By Lori Larsen
A group of seniors and community members gathered at Wild Rose Villa on Feb. 27 to hear about the recent announcement from the federal and provincial governments regarding $14 million combined funding to upgrade 300 Alberta rural affordable housing projects. Funding allotments for Camrose include $1,198,146 to Bethany Nursing Home of Camrose, of which $375,000 was given to Wild Rose Villa, $66,000 to Brigantia Place, A Camrose Society (Camrose Women’s Shelter) and $18,000 to Camrose Association for Community Living. Present for the announcement were federal minister of Infrastructure and Communities Amarjeet Sohi, Alberta minister of Seniors and Housing Lori Sigurdson, We t a s k i w i n - C a m r o s e MLA Bruce Hinkley, Bethany Nursing Home of Camrose board chair Dr. Odell Olson and Beth-
any Group CEO Mike Leathwood. “Wild Rose Villa was built in 1977 and has housed many seniors in this area for years,” commented Odell Olson. “To you I know it is more than just a building it is your home, so we are very happy on behalf of Bethany Group to thank both the federal and provincial governments for the funds for seniors in this area. “I think it is important that buildings not only be built but that they be maintained and improved and this announcement allows for that.” The $375,000 apportioned for Wild Rose Villa will be used to replace the electronic door system, the roof and the fire alarm system. “Today’s announcement is an example of how everyone on the board and staff at Bethany Group and the government of Alberta and Canada can work together to anticipate and meet your needs we are very proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward
to how we can meet your needs in the future,” concluded Olson. Amarjeet Sohi, federal minister of Infrastructure and Communities, spoke to the attendees about the federal governments role in affordable housing capital funding. “Our Government is investing in affordable housing in rural Alberta and across Canada to help create jobs and improve the quality of life for those who need it most,” said Sohi. “With the combined efforts of our partners, we are going to give a hand up to Albertans in need. “Affordable housing and helping seniors and low income families are a priority of the government of Canada and the consensus is clear Canadians want better housing outcomes especially for those who need the most help.” In her address to the guests Sigurdson suggested that in the tough economic situation Alberta is presently experiencing Albertans deserve a government that focuses on making life better. “Seniors help build this province and you deserve to retire in dignity. Seniors tell me that they want to age in their own communities close to their families and friends but unfortunately many seniors in rural Alberta can not find the appropriate housing that is affordable and safe and we as a government say that is unacceptable.” Sigurdson indicated the previous government did not prioritize affordable housing and the result is many of the
housing facilities are in need of significant repair. “Our government is working to make life better for seniors by funding upgrades that make a difference in life, like installing new furnaces, hot water tanks and window panes. These practical changes will improve the lives of seniors in rural Alberta.” Questions When questioned about how the remainder of the $1,198,146 to the Bethany Nursing Home of Camrose (less the $375,000 for Wild Rose Villa) will be allocated Sigurdson responded, “It is almost $1.2 million that the Bethany Group will be receiving from us to invest in properties like the Wild Rose Villa that also have needs. I know that Mike and his team are working hard to make good decisions about where that funding goes.” Leathwood indicated a list was available showing exactly where the funds were being used. A resident of Wild Rose Villa commented that he thought the fire bells were upgraded two years previous, to which Leathwood replied that the roof and electronic doors were for sure being done and the fire system would be confirmed. Resident Darlene VanHaitsma inquired about the condition of the windows in the units. “Our windows are really terrible here. They don’t fit and you can go a yard away when it is blowing and it is cold. I know Bethany pays for the heat but it is cold. I have lived here
for five and half years and my thermostat has never been turned on it doesn’t even work.” As the new CEO for the Bethany Group Leathwood commented that is he just beginning to make the rounds to tenant meetings. “I am asking people to raise concerns and certainly if there are operating issues that we need to address, we will.” Leathwood went on to explain that the funding given by the governments in this announcement will be used to improve the building. “So while we will start with the roof over the long term we want to look at windows and the pipes, it just won’t happen over night. You need to raise them (issues) with us and with your housing manager and like I said once we have done the roof we will be back to the minister to ask for more money to do the windows.” Resident Betty Marks spoke about the infestation of bugs in the units. “We have silverfish, beetles, you name it and something has to be done about that.” She did state that tenants had been given a spray to use in their own units but that something more needed to be done. Leathwood pointed out that Mark’s concern would fall under an operating issue and would be followed up by the housing manager and Bethany Group.

Memory music at library Submitted
The Camrose Public Library has recently launched Meaningful Music. This new project offers people with memory loss and dementia the ability to enjoy their favourite music at their convenience through the use of borrowed iPods and headphones. We all know how amazingly powerful music can be! Music has the ability to evoke emotion, heighten the senses, and transport us to another time and place as we reminisce. This project harnesses the power and personal nature of music in order to allow people with dementia to reconnect with themselves and with their loved ones. Each patron receives an iPod and headphone set, on loan from the library for a three-month period, along with a personalized playlist of meaningful songs. Over the past several months, we have been working in collaboration with Sunrise Village in order to implement a “pilot” of the Meaningful Music project. With the support of staff and families we have introduced several residents to personal playlists. The results have been extremely positive. A very quiet gentleman was introduced to his personal playlist by family members. The music on his playlist included songs that he used to sing to as part of a quartet when he was a young man. The Meaningful Music project was adapted for another resident at Sunrise Village. Despite building a strong, meaningful playlist for the music-loving resident, she did not display much reaction when listening through headphones. With the help of her daughter, we realized that her music needed to be shared in order for her to find enjoyment. After such success at Sunrise Village, we are now excited to open the Meaningful Music project up to the larger community of Camrose. Having said this, library iPods and headphones are limited to the Meaningful Music project and the use of patrons living with dementia. If you or a loved one would like more information or to take part in this program, call the Camrose Public Library 780-672-4214 to book an appointment Kelsey Mailer or email kelsey@prl.ab.ca. We are also in search of gently used iPods. If you happen to have an iPod kicking around, you might consider donating it to this project. We are looking for any model of iPod so long as it still has some life left in it. All donated iPods can be dropped off at the Camrose Public Library.

Make sure to pay yourself first “Pay yourself first!” “We’ve all heard that piece of advice, but hearing it and actually putting it into practice are two different things. Without a plan which automatically deducts a certain amount from your bank account, saving money can be very difficult. Inevitably, something comes up which will use the funds you have set aside. Many savings accounts are diminished due to what people refer to as “emergency expenditures.” The problem, according to Chuck Chakrapani, author of Financial Freedom on $5 a Day, is that people plan backwards. Instead of paying themselves first, he said they pay others first. “To paraphrase Parkinson’s Law,” explained Chakrapani, “expenditures rise to meet income. This means that as your income increases, so does your expenditure. That is what is wrong with believing at some future time you will be able to save, but not now.” True, saving takes discipline, but after doing it for a while, it becomes natural. One way to save, Chakrapani suggests, is to deduct a portion of your salary (say 10 per cent) before spending. Start with a lower amount, and if it feels comfortable, increase the amount later. Another method is to commit yourself to putting
away a set sum every day, and at the end of every month, transferring that amount to a savings account or other investment vehicle. Look at your lifestyle and determine whether or not you spend $5 a day on items that are not really needed. You may decide to bag your lunch, instead of always going out. Over a period of 35 years, $5 a day invested at six per cent, compounded annually, would grow to $216,675. A favorite saving method for Chakrapani is to put aside 10 per cent of the money spent on each and every item. The government already takes five per cent in the way of Goods and Services Tax, so is it that much more difficult to add another five per cent? If you spend $100 on a bill, make sure $5 is set aside for your savings. If you spend $600 a month on mortgage payments, add another $30. Investing money
There are many investment vehicles that are available, but few are as popular as the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). The Government of Canada established RRSPs in 1957 to encourage Canadians to save for retirement on a tax sheltered basis. Every dollar that you put into your RRSP, up to a certain limit, can be deducted from your taxable income. You eventually
pay tax on funds withdrawn from an RRSP, but that is presumably after you have retired, and your tax rate is not as high. Investing in mutual funds is another way to make money grow. A mutual fund takes the savings of many investors and invests that money in a portfolio of securities. Since the funds are spread among several securities, the risk is minimized, as opposed to going the way of the stock market. Mutual funds are offered by banks and trust companies, mutual fund dealers, financial planning organizations, stock brokers, some credit unions and insurance companies. Bonds are another type of interest-earning security. When you buy a bond, you lend money to a business or government body. The institution pays you a fixed rate of interest for its use and your original investment is repaid at maturity. If you want a good yield with virtually no risk, you may want to investigate a guaranteed investment certificate or term deposit. These are certificates issued by a bank or trust company for a fixed term that earn specific rates of interest for that term. Some of them have minimum investments and involve redemption penalties.

Residents receive fraudulent calls Delusional male March 2
Police attended a multiunit dwelling after receiving a complaint of a male who appeared to be high on drugs. Upon arrival the 54-year-old male was outside screaming, delusional and causing issues. It was determined that the male was high on methamphetamine and he was arrested to prevent further breach of the peace. The male was released in the morning without charges. Police conducted follow up on a fraud reported on Feb. 9 from an east end business where a suspect had been identified. Police attended to a rural property in Lamont County and located the male suspect, as well as items that were obtained fraudulently. The items were seized and returned to the business, and the male was charged with one count of fraud under $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime.
On Feb. 28, ATCO Security contacted police to advise that residents have been receiving phone calls from someone representing themselves as an
ATCO employee and were setting up appointments to conduct maintenance on their furnaces. Police would like to inform the public that
ATCO does not contact customers offering maintenance and that these types of phone calls are fraudulent.

Condo complex part of downtown revitalization
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The lots located at 4836-4852 51 Street are the proposed site of a mixed housing and commercial development. By Lori Larsen
The City of Camrose is incorporating innovative thinking when it comes to development and the proposal for the 51 Street mixed housing and commercial development is a prime example of thinking outside the box. City of Camrose director of planning and development Aaron Leckie proposed first reading of Bylaw 2928-17 the redistricting of 4836 to 4852-51 Street from central/downtown commercial district to direct control district to city council on Feb. 21 at the regular council meeting. “This is an interesting project and probably the largest single project development I have seen in my time (three years) now here in Camrose.” Leckie indicated that the city has worked closely with the developer/contractor (Five Star Home Solutions in partnership with RDS) in ensuring the development project meets all the requirements. “We have a detailed application before us to come up with a comprehensive development that consists of eight small homes, four Live/Work Units and nine units in a three storey condo building which is located on the south corner of the property,” said Leckie in describing the project. The four independent Live/Work Units would front onto 51 Street with parking at the rear of the property. Leckie reported that the proposed development has met the commercial requirements of the Central Downtown Commercial District as well as the Downtown Action Plan and the Municipal Development plan. “The project also meets a high level of compliance with our LUB (Land Use Bylaw),” added Leckie. “The primary reason why this needs to be moved to Direct Control is because
our Downtown Action Plan contemplates Live/Work Units, but does not explicitly allow them. We have never seen an application for live/work units. Our LUB didn’t really evaluate whether they should be permitted in the central downtown district. “We recommend moving to Direct Control to ensure this project could go ahead with Live/Work Units as a defined term of this particular project.” Leckie referred to the proposed definition of the Live/Work Units as a development where a business is operated from a dwelling unit, by the resident of the dwelling who may engage in various small scale professional or personal commercial services. “Public consultation will be an extensive component of this project and we are confident that the developer/contractor will be able to successfully host public engagement.” Councillor Agnes Hoveland asked Leckie to give an example of what the Live/Work Units would look like and asked if he had any examples from other communities. “They can take many forms. Arguably, you could say that on 50 Street some of the smaller commercial establishments that are only 20 to 25 feet wide and have a second floor and, at one time if not currently, there were residents living above there who owned the shop on the main floor. That is a Live/Work Unit.” Hoveland further inquired, “If you cannot have more than one additional employee on site, that would infer it is a very small operation. Can you give an example that you have seen that might fit that criteria?” Leckie referred to an example of a small business already existing in Camrose that is a comparable size to the proposed Live/Work Units. Leckie also explained
the reason the units are restricted to only one other employee is any more than that would pose parking issues on the site.
is that owners would have a full dwelling they can write off as a commercial and it is an economical way to have commercial space considering where we are at right now with our economy.” MacKinnon noted that all units are built for the best possible efficiency and that they go above and beyond the new energy codes. “We really strive for efficiency,” said MacKinnon. “That is why they are called smart homes. They combine efficiency with luxury and affordability.” The contractors used by Five Star are all local, which MacKinnon said is in keeping with supporting the Camrose economy. “If you are going to do something innovative for Camrose, then you have to have it done by people in Camrose. It is all part of helping out.” Working closely with the

Innovative living
With so much focus on energy efficiency, smaller footprints, cleaner, lesscluttered living and mixed housing, developers are needing to look beyond convention. CEO and project manager of Five Star Home Solutions Shawn MacKinnon in partnership with RDS (Ross and Dave Drever) understands the needs for new innovative homes that meet the demands of homeowners changing mind sets and that is why they proposed the Condominium Complex for the 51 Street. “There is a three-storey condo and then there are 11 single family dwellings,” said MacKinnon. “It is a fairly large setup, its own total subdivision. “The three-story condo has eight two-bedroom units and one one-bedroom unit and there is also a common area and storage lockers.” MacKinnon indicated the condos will average out to approximately 1,200 square feet and the building will include an elevator to meet the needs of all tenants. “Seven of the single family units have garages in them with one bedroom up and one bedroom down. “These units’ floorplans will be fairly similar to the smart homes we built on 48th Avenue with a bit bigger square footage. We tweaked the design including expanded the stairwell to 42 inches so they can accommodate chair lifts for future.” The four Live/Work Units will have approximately 589 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor with the residential space above. “It’s a new twist on the Live/Work concept,” said MacKinnon. “It is meant for that professional if you want to have a hair salon, or a photography studio and the bonus
City over the past months has MacKinnon appreciating the hard work and stringent regulations when it comes to proposing and subsequently approving development. “The City has a job to do and they do it very thoroughly and properly,” he said. “I am not opposed to things being done properly and I absolutely agree it may sometimes cause a headache for the developers, but doing something right requires a lot of work and Camrose is one of the few municipalities that is considering this type of project. “Simply put, if you want to revitalize your downtown then you have to bring people into your downtown.” There will be an open house for this development on March 9 at 5 p.m. at the Gateway Centre main lobby.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster City of Camrose director of Community Development and Innovation Victor Goodman presents Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce members with the annual city update.
By Lori Larsen City of Camrose director of Community Development and Innovation Victor Goodman presented the annual city update to Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce members during the general luncheon meeting held on March 1 at the Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino. Goodman spoke on four topics, the local economy, past successes, the 2017-18 budget and future projects. “The year 2016 was a good year for the City of Camrose,” said Goodman. “As those of you who have lived in the community for any length of time likely know, Camrose has a “steady as you go” kind of economy. The numbers do fluctuate with economic conditions, but Camrose doesn’t see the big boom and bust cycles that some
of our other communities in Alberta see.” Goodman reported on the 2016 Camrose development statistics. “In 2016, Camrose processed the second most subdivision applications since 2008. Last year, we did well above average.” Goodman spoke briefly on the EnCana Solar project, Camrose Community Bus Service, Wayfinders Signage Project Phase one (highways and roads) (Phase two will concentrate on downtown and pedestrian signage), online census and the garbage totes. “Creation of the budget is one of the City’s most critical tasks,” remarked Goodman. “It sets spending priorities for City services and infrastructure.” In conclusion, Goodman listed the future projects for Camrose including the Waste Water Treatment Project, Public Works facility, 48th Avenue Bridge and the Aquatic Centre Expansion Project. Other news Executive director of Camrose Tourism Hazel Cail announced that she will be retiring from Tourism Camrose at the end of April and will be handing over the baton to Jennifer Philip, who has been hired as the acting executive director for Tourism Camrose. On March 9, Mardere Brikill will be speaking on Building a High Performance Culture at the Bill Fowler Centre from 8:30 a.m. until noon. On April 12, Doug Griffiths will present 13 Ways to Kill Your Community seminar. The presentation will take place at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus Chapel from 1 until 4:30 p.m. The next general luncheon meeting will be April 5 at the Norsemen Inn from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Shut the cupboard doors
In 1952, The Camrose Booster began on a card table in my parents’ bedroom. Later it expanded into the basement, and for several years staff came to our home. I remember falling asleep to the sound of a printing press in the basement. It was a 625 square foot story-and-a-half home, with two adults and four children living on the main floor and half-upstairs, and some days a crew of eight people working in the basement. A tad crowded, not to mention not much privacy for the family. The kicker was the Christmas morning when someone came to the door to put in a classified ad. Time to move to commercial space. ***
When the Booster moved from the basement of our home to commercial space downtown, that meant mom was no longer home when we four kids got home from school. Every day after school she would phone to check in on us. Mom would make sure she heard all our voices or knew exactly where we were. She would give instructions to wash the lunch dishes in the sink (because there was never time to do that at lunchtime before we all had to return to school and work). She’d tell us how to start supper and perhaps do other errands. And then she would say, “…and shut the cupboard doors and put the lid on the peanut butter.” We’d glance around and think, “How does she know?” ***
We were quite a bit older before we figured out that she couldn’t actually see the kitchen cupboards. She just knew us really well. In the meantime, that was a motivator to make sure we did whatever else she had asked, and to behave as if she could see what we were doing. Maybe she could! So what did I learn from that?
Historic lobby cards on display By Murray Green
The historical lobby cards (pictures and posters) that were found during Bailey Theatre renovations will be on display in the current lobby in the near future. David Roth, a longtime volunteer with the Bailey Theatre, recently reported to the board. “As some of you may know we have a valuable box of historical lobby cards. They were discovered in 1999 by volunteers who started the first-time demolition and remodelling. Volunteers found 230 lobby cards under the wall paper and panelling in the dressing rooms under the stage. The lobby cards are each 11 by 14 inches in size mostly black and white,” he reported. Roth researched the lobby cards on the Internet Movie Data Base for missing information. According to Roth’s research the 230 posters promoted 67 movies in the early 1920s. Just as the Bailey does today, the posters were a way to advertise coming movies. All the movies at that time were black and white silent films. Some movies were referred to as shorts, which were approximately 20 minutes in length.
Others were full length features. There were five lobby cards and their films, which are not in the Internet Movie Data Base. More research is required. Board member Barb Stroh was not surprised about the discovery. “I could well imagine my grandfather Stan Bailey and right-hand man Drew Wilson hiding the treasures for someone to discover. Stan owned the theatre back in 1919. He was the first to introduce me to a time capsule,” she recalled. “Many years ago, I watched my grandfather place a written message into a small medicine bottle and put the tiny time capsule into a concrete wall he was building on his farm just north of Camrose. This time capsule prompted several conversations about why anyone who would write and hide a note ‘to whom it may concern to find it many years later. I went on to live on the Bailey farm and found/relocated the medicine bottle with the note. This find was witnessed by my young children and they too asked the same question why,” said Barb. Roth made recom-
mendations about how to best preserve these treasures after he discussed them with Alberta Archives. They welcomed the opportunity to store and preserve the nearly 100-year-old posters. In return, Alberta Archives committed to produce professional quality photos for public display at the theatre. The photos will be in the Lobby of the Bailey Theatre sometime later in the spring. The discovery of the posters provides another piece of history about the oldest operating theatre in western Canada. Roth and Ross Shuman, another long time volunteer at the Bailey, collaborated to produce a slide show of the lobby cards. David took pictures of the posters and Ross organized and labelled them. At some time in the future the slide show will be on one of the television monitors in the lobby. The Rotary Club of Camrose made a donation to the Bailey that will be used to build display cabinets in the lobby. They will be used to display the lobby cards, as well as other artifacts found during the renovation of the theatre.

Right off the top, I learned that my mother was omnipresent and omni-powerful (not that I knew those words at the time) and that I’d better always act in a way she’d approve. I figured that if I didn’t, she’d know and the consequences of that were too scary to contemplate. I didn’t actually imagine any particular punishment; just the thought of mom’s disapproval was terrifying. From there, I jumped to the conclusion that all adults in positions of authority probably knew exactly what I was doing even if they couldn’t physically see me. Reflecting all these years later, that was one of many factors (most notably my own natural inclinations) that led to a few decades where my main goal in life was always to please others, or at least to avoid their disapproval. ***
The other thing I learned? Tidy is more pleasant than messy. Mom sometimes said, “The difference between a tidy house and a messy house is about ten minutes.” I have experienced that. With just a few motions, it’s possible to make an environment more pleasant. My physical spaces are not always tidy, but I’ve learned that a simple thing like shutting the cupboard doors can greatly improve how a room looks and feels, and that in turn improves my state of mind. ***
One other incident. Sometime in my twenties, I lived with my two little kids in an upstairs suite that overlooked a lot full of farm machinery. One day I was looking out the window and saw a boy wander onto the lot and start to climb one of the pieces of equipment. I shouted down, “Stop that! Get down!” The boy looked around and couldn’t see where the voice came from. I shouted again, “Get down! Now!” He looked unnerved, and actually climbed down and left the lot, still glancing behind to see where the voice was coming from. I figured he might have thought it was The Voice of God. I had a moment’s fleeting glee and wondered if that’s how Mom felt when she said, “…and shut the cupboard doors.” *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

Somewhere In Between to play at Bailey Theatre By Murray Green
Somewhere In Between is a five-piece band led by Arnold White that mixes prairie life with being close to the sea. His band will be holding a concert at the Bailey Theatre on Saturday, March 11 at 8 p.m. He originates from Newfoundland, but came to Alberta looking for the land of opportunity. After catching the prairie spirit, Alberta has since become home. Arnold, still missing the rock and the sea, wrote an autobiographical song about being called to work in Alberta, but still yearning for the sea. This song is frequently played on Maritimes radio. Bailey Theatre board member Leslie Lindballe joins him and other members of his band Kyle Hobbs, Al Herman and Devin Rehm. Somewhere In Between plays many of Arnold’s creations and integrates some of Leslie’s originals as well. All members of this band are committed to having each other’s artistic vision realized. “We’ve been together for about a year and a half and practicing with these nice, down-to-earth guys is one of the best parts of my week,” said Leslie. She said that the band enjoys playing around Camrose and has become a regular part of a memorial fundraiser in Edmonton that gathers money to support music programs in rural Newfoundland. Somewhere In Between provides their audience with cover songs, rock, country and everything in between; aptly earning their name. The band’s dynamic mix of classic rock served up with a generous portion of original music makes Somewhere In Between a great high-energy band. 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.

You can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the band Give ’Em Hell Boys at the Bailey Theatre on March 17 beginning at 8 p.m. The band is a throwback to the days of singing about hard drinking and heartache, things that will never go out of fashion. Give ’Em Hell Boys cut to the root of music and play with a fiery edge similar to trailblazers Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. The band consists of Quinn Clark on vocals and acoustic guitar, Charles Biddiscombe on vocals and lead guitar, Lindsay Bueckert on vocals and bass, and Eric Redekopp on drums. Not concerned with the pop-country that survives on the radio, the Give ’Em Hell Boys take their punk rock foundation and add genuine country soul. Their live show is full of energy from the opening song to the final number. It started with a shuffle beat in a room with two likeminded musicians in Edmonton for a punk rock and country band. The beginnings were humble, but the evolution was far from that. Consistent gigs and a pickup truck full of songs in their repertoire kept this fourpiece band grooving and growing stronger in the Canadian music scene. “It’s something that’s immensely hard and nearly impossible to convey on a record, although we’ve tried our best to do that. I think that’s what I like most about playing in a band; a collaboration with other players. You become each other’s audience,” said Clark, on the band’s website. The live show stands above all else with the party atmosphere and high energy; it’s impossible not to dance, toe tap and have a great time at their shows. Their debut, selfproduced album, Barn Burner was nominated for Country Recording of the Year at the 2013 Edmonton Music Awards. The show is described as country fused with attitude and high energy to create a party atmosphere. The Bailey Theatre will be set up cabaret style for this performance, with lots of room to dance. 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.

Gold Rush comes to the trade show
DON’T MISS THE
By Lori Larsen Many people have dreams of striking it rich by maybe finding that seam of gold in the backyard streambed or under a pack of overburden. But mining the shiny stuff isn’t all it is cracked up to be. Discovery television series Gold Rush provides viewers with a real glimpse into the life of mining as it follows different mining operations in the everyday thrills, chills and machinery spills of digging for the gold.
Saturday, March 11
Parker Schnabel from Discovery’s Gold Rush series.
One of the shows operations is headed by the young and tenacious Parker Schnabel. Parker will be making an appearance at the 2017 Camrose Regional Trade Show held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) on March 12 from 1 to 4 p.m. for a Meet and Greet. Originating from Haines, Alaska Parker grew up with gold fever running through his veins. At an early age he was manning large, heavy machinery and quickly learning all the ins and outs of the business from his grandpa, John Schnabel. At the young age of 16 years old he took over Big Nugget, the family mining operation. Despite his youth and perhaps what some might call inexperience with life matters, Parker showed his spunk and courage and through the past few seasons his ability to find the gold. Often characterized on the show as the young buck with a short fuze, Parker is most certainly a fan favourite and millions of viewers tune in to see what this now 22-year-old miner, reality star and businessman will come up with next. Foregoing college in Season Four of the show, Parker chose to use his college fund to set up his own mining operation. The gamble paid off when Parker and the crew found 1029 ounces of gold in the Klondike. Last season Parker successfully pulled the gold out of the ground again, through machinery mal-

Witter leaves ’70s music audiences Feelin’ Groovy By Murray Green Jim Witter’s show that was to be held on Feb. 2 is now confirmed for May 17 at 8 p.m. The following is an interview with him prior to the original date.
Canadian singer and musician Jim Witter was so well received last year that he was brought back by popular demand. His brilliant concert featuring the masterpieces of Billy Joel and Elton John left the audience wanting more. Witter changed his plans to accommodate a western Canada tour. But, it won’t be the same show. He will be performing the great songs of Simon and Garfunkel and other artists in the same era in the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on May 17. “My memories of Alberta are wonderful, ever since the 90s. It is always a great trip and people still remember my original country music shows,” said Jim. “This time the show will reflect the ’60s and was inspired by audience suggestions. I go into the lobby after shows and talk to people to see what they think about it,” he added. “The names Simon and Garfunkel kept popping up. It has been a well received show. The interesting comment we get from this show is that people don’t think of themselves as a Simon and Garfunkel fan, but after hearing the show, they realize they are fans.” His renditions are so riveting that if you close your eyes, you would think you are listening to Hall of Fame artists themselves. “I think he (Paul Simon) is one of the best folk-pop
songwriters of the century. When I first started the show, I knew the songs, but I didn’t learn them until then. Sitting down and learning them really drove it home to me, how such a phenomenal writer he was and continues to be. It would be a whole new show to feature his solo work.” Witter’s versatility as an artist has allowed him the opportunity to reach out and share his music and his infectious personality with audiences of all ages across North America. He is capable of going back to the same stage with the same fans and perform an entirely different concert that leaves fans amazed at his talent. “It thrills me that people request for me to come back. That is the goal of a performer. You don’t want to go to a place and be done with it. I never take it for granted. “There are places, such as a site near Chicago, where we are going back for the ninth time. It is like coming home again. Alberta is special for me because it is one of the few places that remembers me as a country artist. I get asked about it a lot, but I don’t have a country show. I don’t know why. I would love to do a legends of country from the ’50s. I would like to perform early country rock like the Everly Brothers.” He has four major shows. “I have a Beatles show, Billy Joel and Elton John show and even Barry Manilow as well. A big part of the shows is using the big screen behind us and to relive the era of the music. We like to take people back in time to hear different artists. It’s one thing to
hear the old classics, but it is another to get emotional about it and recall the memories. I want people to recall the wonderful times, or how music got you through rough times.” Witter has a rich, powerful voice and has an ease of manner at the piano that makes him a favourite everywhere he travels. Bass player Ian Tanner will be helping Jim with the two-part melodies of Simon and Garfunkel. “It’s not like I’m Simon and he is Garfunkel. We switch back and forth and he sings a solo as well. Simon and Garfunkel learned how to sing by copying Phil and Don Every.” Jim and the band open the second half with an Every Brothers song. For Alberta audiences, he is likely to add one of his country songs for old time’s sake. “We get to know people in every city because we can go back with a totally different show,” said Witter. “I like to have interactive shows and sing along together, so it is fun for everyone.” Witter has earned multiple awards and nominations from the Canadian Country Music Association, the Juno Awards and most recently the Dove Awards in Nashville, where his album Forgiveness was nominated for Inspirational Album of the year.

Johnston set to attend Camrose Trade Show By Murray Green
Heartland’s Shaun Johnston, known to television fans as Grandpa Jack, is attending the Camrose Trade Show to sign autographs Saturday afternoon and to put on a storytelling session with songs later in the evening. The Camrose Trade Show will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition from March 10 to 12. Grandpa Jack will be greeting fans from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. on the second day. “It will be a meetand-greet situation where people can talk to me, ask questions and get a picture taken if they care to. I love doing those things because as Heartland goes on, people are quite fascinated with the show and viewership is strong. We’ve completed 10 years now and its our way, as a cast, to give back to the faithful followers. Amber Marshall was here last year, and she is such a good ambassador for the show. I watched her grow up on the show. This is an opportunity to get to know our followers and talk to people to get to know them.” The Interactive Night of Songs and Story Telling will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Saturday evening. “I don’t want to call it a concert because that would loop me in with people that are good,” joked Shaun. “I’m going to sit down and tell a few stories related to Heartland and a little about myself. I want to make a few people chuckle once in a while and sing some songs because I love to do that. It turns into an evening with myself as opposed to listening to my songs in a concert.” Shaun has wrote three or four songs for the show over the years. “I performed live on the show about four times and they always want me to play with Amy (Amber). We get strong comments about people liking us playing and singing on the show.” He didn’t think he would ever play guitar, but

http://www.facebook.com/group/camroseskatingclub @CamroseSC enjoyed an evening with friends with music and loved it. “I talked to my wife Sue about it for days and then at Christmas she bought me a guitar. She gave me the gift of music.” He will share adventures on the set and during the show. “In those 10 years, there has to be some interesting stories I can share. In all honesty, at first I didn’t get the show. When I was cast in the pilot episode, I didn’t know what the character was about and what the message of the story was supposed to be,” he recalled. “The reason I say that is because there were no doctors, no cops and robbers, no car chases or expositions, or girls in high heels. That was everything that was on the air back in those days. We had none of those elements, and I thought this is pretty much a one-way ticket to a not very successful idea,” said Shaun politely. “That was my mistake. It didn’t have those elements, but it replaced it with family values, downhome ranging, and the world of horses. “We (both of us) grew up in central Alberta and it showed what we experience every day in our lives on the farm or ranch. There are a lot of horsecrazy people. I grew up with the spirit of the horse and it was easy to fall in love with the horse and animals. One thing Heartland had that I didn’t recognize to begin with was that it brought that image of ranching, farming and the good country life to light. Pet owners get a connection to animals and

they become part of the family and that is what the show has done with the horses.” Shaun has played many characters during his career, but this one
feels the most natural. “The character that I play, Jack, is basically a combination of my dad and his dad. It is a three-generation character and in lots of ways I feel I am becom-
ing my own character,” said the 57-year-old. “I look at myself in the mirror and say be classy like Jack,” he laughed. “Playing Jack has given me a stronger sense of who I want to be when I grow up.” He is proud of the fact that he has been able to play the same character for so long. “I love my job. I love my character and the people I work with. I’m proud of Jack and have enjoyed playing him. I am content playing Jack. I understand the value of the show and enjoy the fresh air and being outdoors. It really is the holy grail for me.” He looks forward to coming home again. Shaun is no stranger to Camrose or the area. He grew up in Ponoka and often came to Camrose to play baseball against area teams. “I do miss that area and reminisce about playing a ton of baseball in the Camrose and surrounding area. I remember Camrose being a baseball powerhouse and I don’t recall us winning very many games there. Man, they could play baseball in Camrose,” he recalled of his youth. “I played baseball all the way from Forestburg to Drayton Valley.” When Shaun and his wife were first married, he thought about moving to Camrose and setting up a ranch nearby. “I was going to University in Edmonton and thought about living a rural life. My mom was in Wetaskiwin at the time. Things didn’t turn out that way for me, but I am looking forward to going back. My brother went to the Trade Show last year to see Amber Marshall.”

Trudeau fails to deliver
One of the most important, and potentially transformative, aspects of the Liberal election campaign was Justin Trudeau’s promise that 2015 would be the last election under the First-Past-the-Post or Single Member Plurality electoral system. Now, however, Prime Minister Trudeau is saying that electoral reform is not on the government’s agenda as the issue is potentially too divisive for Canada Shauna Wilton, Political and could lead to marginal Studies, Augustana parties winning seats in the Campus, University House of Commons. of Alberta Electoral reform could make the Canadian government significantly more accountable to the Canadian public. The tyranny of the majority and the almost absolute power of a prime minister backed by a majority in the House would end. Most likely, we would see significantly more minority governments. Parties would be required to work together and compromise in order to govern and advance policy that is in the best interests of an actual majority of Canadians (not just the 40 per cent that elects a majority government under the current system). Lori B. Turnball, Mark D. Jarvis and Peter Aucoin’s award-winning book, Democratizing the Constitution, provides an excellent analysis of the increasing abuses of power of the office of Prime Minister in past decades and demonstrates that the Canadian PM governs with fewer checks on his power that any of his peers. Whether you like Trudeau or not, the election of Donald Trump in the USA and his spree of executive orders demonstrates the importance of having institutions that check the power of the leader. The Canadian Parliament has become very ineffective at this job. Trudeau may be right in that the issue could be divisive; most important political issues are to some extent. There is no need, however, to have a referendum on electoral reform. The government, with its majority of seats gained through the distortion of the popular vote under the current system, has the power to deliver on this promise and would actually have the support of others in the House. In fact, a referendum on what is a very complicated issue is probably a bad idea (e.g. Brexit). There are arguably other, better models for consulting Canadian voters, such as the Citizens Assembly created on electoral reform in BC which brought a representative group of citizens from all walks of life together to discuss the issue in depth with experts. As for the issue of marginal or fringe parties winning seats, there are ways to protect against this. Most proportional electoral systems have a threshold that parties must meet in order to be able to claim their seats. Germany and New Zealand, for example, have fairly high thresholds: parties must win five per cent of the popular vote in order to get their seats. In the Canadian context, this would mean that the Green and BQ parties would not have met the threshold in 2015 and the Liberals would have a minority government with the Conservatives and NDP in opposition. Of course, one of the great things about changing the electoral system is that it also changes the way people vote–you don’t have to worry about splitting the vote in your riding and you can vote according to your own beliefs as opposed to voting to keep someone out. More proportional electoral systems also have much higher voter turnout rates because every vote counts. These facts may represent the actual reasons behind Trudeau’s sidestepping of electoral change. Apparently, Trudeau favoured a preferential voting system, in which candidates are ranked. This is a system that tends to reproduce the results we see under our current system. While it seems more democratic to have more choices on the ballot, in the end, the major parties win and new or alternative voices are excluded. In all likelihood, the recommendation of the committee he appointed—that Canada adopt a proportional system—would mean an end to majority governments and the tremendous power of the Canadian prime minister. Significant political change requires political courage and sacrifice. Unfortunately, it appears that our prime minister has chosen the well-trodden path of privilege and power instead.
By Lori Larsen Camrose welcomes the first ever Culture FUZE Dance Festival to the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre held on March 10, 11 and 12. Dancers from all over Alberta will be participating in the festival in a variety of dance categories including Poltava, Bukovynian, Hutzul, Volyn, Pollissian, Podillian, Transcarpathian, International, Contemporary, Character and Hopak. Tanya Pattullo and Kyla Joyce, organizers of the festival encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the event. “This is the first year for the Dance Festival,” said Pattullo. “We are bringing
with Ukrainian Dance adjudication sessions. On Friday from 6:15 until 10 p.m. there will be workshops open to anyone whether participating in the festival or not. “You don’t have to be registered in the Festival to take part in the workshops,” said Pattullo. “Everyone is welcome, all ages and all dance levels and there will be boys and girls workshops.” Saturday, March 11 from 8 a.m. until 9:15 p.m. will be Ukrainian Dance adjudicated sessions. Sunday March 12 from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. will be the final Ukrainian Dance adjudicated sessions. The Festival will round out on Sunday with the Showcase at 2:30 p.m. consisting of two parts.

He danced with the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers and was the artistic director of the Shumka School from 1999 to 2004. From 2011-13, he was the artistic director of the Viter Ukrainian Dancers and Folk Choir. Rees choreographs in residence for MY Ukrainian Dance Academy in Edmonton and the Troyanda Ukrainian Dancers of Selkirk, Manitoba and adjudicates across Western Canada. “The Festival has a direct tie to the Canada and Camrose 150 celebrations,” explained Pattullo. “One of the four pillars for the Canada 150 is multiculturalism and this

in Ukrainian Dancers this year from all over Alberta.” Joyce added that dancers (clubs) will be coming from as far south as Calgary, and as far north as Vegreville, Bonnyville, Lloydminster, Grand Prairie, Peace River and many clubs from Edmonton. “And of course our very own Camrose Veselka Ukrainian Dance Society.” In total, the event will host approximately 20 different clubs, which includes about 431 dancers. “We are pretty happy with our response for the first year,” said Pattullo. “A lot of which has to do with Camrose as a host city. The location and the reputation Camrose has for greeting guests is a big part of it and of course the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre has a reputation in the dance community as a perfect venue to host something like this event. “The overall economic impact on Camrose will be quite significant. Families and friends and others along with the dancers will be coming to Camrose, staying in hotels and eating at restaurants.” The Festival begins on Friday, March 10 at 11:30 a.m.
“The first half will be eight to nine dance numbers hand-chosen by the adjudicators from the weekend,” said Pattullo. “Not necessarily the gold medal winners but something that sparked the adjudicators interest, be it a smile or that character who was hilarious.” The second half of the Showcase features In My Place, a professional show of eight women from Viva Dance Company of Edmonton. The festival has two esteemed adjudicators, Stephanie Lilley from Edmonton and Vincent Rees from Edmonton. She has training in jazz, contemporary, ballet and Ukrainian Dance. Lilley is the artistic director and choreographer of Viva Dance Company based out of Edmonton. She is the dance coordinator and performer for the Edmonton Singing Christmas Tree and was part of the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers. As an adjudicator Lilley has judged the Zirka Dance Challenge, Vitaemo Ukrainian Dance Festival, Camrose Music Festival, Kalyna Festival, Northern Star Talent Quest, Drumheller Music Festival and Athabasca Dance Festival. Vincent Rees has been

Joyce added, “We know there are lots of different types of culture dance and we encourage different types of dance in Alberta to join our upcoming festivals. Our plans are to grow.” During the Festival attendees will have an opportunity to check out a variety of vendors showcasing clothing, crafts and other items in the lobby of the Performing Arts Centre. “We are open to accepting vendors if anyone is interested,” said Joyce. “And it does not have to be dance or Ukrainian related.” For more information on the Culture FUZE or the Festival visit the website at www.culturefuze.ca or email at info@culturefuze.ca or by telephone at 780-226-9986.

WHO can
Augustana curlers garner provincial crown By Murray Green
The Augustana Vikings men’s curling team captured the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference championships in Vermilion on Feb. 26. The Vikings edged NAIT 5-4 in an extra end to garner the gold medals in an exciting finish to the championships. No more than one point was scored in any end and tied 4-4 after eight ends. Augustana beat Olds 6-3 and 5-2 on the second day to advance to the final. The women’s rink suffered two losses on the final day to finish the championships in fourth place. Concordia won the event over Red Deer and NAIT beat Augustana in the bronze match. Ironically, Augustana beat NAIT 7-3 to make the playoff round. Vikings second curler Lynnelle Mahe was named to the ACAC women’s all-conference team. Although the men’s team won the championship, no curlers were named to the team. Gold and silver medal winners (and the Augustana women’s team as host) now advance to the 2017 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Curling National Championships to be hosted by the Vikings March 22 to 25 in Camrose at the Rose City Curling Club.

NoGoodWay campaign halts the R-word
Gwen Sandstrom
Murray Green, Camrose Booster The NoGoodWay Campaign for Special Olympics aims to end the use of the R-word (retard) throughout Alberta during the month of March. Athletes were joined by Camrose Composite High School students on March 1. For over 850,000 Canadians living with an intellectual disability, the use of the R-word invokes memories of being bullied; endless days of being demeaned and countless times being told that they are outsiders not worthy of respect. By Lori Larsen
On March 1, Camrose Special Olympic athletes, dignitaries, residents, volunteers and staff, teachers and students of Camrose Composite High School, gathered to take the NoGoodWay pledge to bring awareness to the importance of stopping the use of the R-word (retard). The campaign will run throughout March and all residents of Camrose and surrounding area are encouraged to take part in spreading the word to end the use of the word. “Last year, we did this event at City Hall and had representation from the Augustana students, this year we are targeting a younger group of students to spread the word,” said Special Olympics Cam-
rose Affiliate Chair Carol Wideman. The NoGoodWay Campaign is an national antibullying campaign that was initiated by Special Olympics Canada partner motionball. Motionball is a not-forprofit organization that strives to build awareness and raise funds for the Special Olympics Canada Foundation (SOCF) by targeting a generation of young Canadian professionals who are not defined by age, but by their mind set and introducing them to the Special Olympics movement through integrated social and sporting events, creating relevant, meaningful experiences that help bring the fun back into giving. The NoGoodWay campaign aims at ending the
use of the R-word in everyday conversation. The hurtful term is considered a form of bullying and can have lasting harmful affects, specifically to anyone with an intellectual disability. NoGoodWay, along with Spread the Word to End the Word campaigns encourage everyone to take the pledge and show support for inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities. The pledge
“I will choose not to use the R-word in everyday conversation; I will educate others about the link between the R-word and bullying; I will show my support using #nogoodway to spread awareness to end the use of the R-word.” To take the pledge or for more information on the
NoGoodWay campaign visit http://www.motionball. com/nogoodway/. For more information on the International’s Youth Engagement campaign Spread the Word to End the Word visit http:// www.r-word.org/Default. aspx. The Special Olympics programs help to instill confidence, self esteem and other life skills, contribute to healthier athletes by implementing life-long fitness habits, change attitudes and create a more inclusive society and overall strengthen communities. Over 850,000 fellow Canadians have an intellectual disability. Support their right to be treated with respect and value by helping to eliminate the use of the R-word and ultimately changing attitudes.
1945 ~ 2009 We wish we could see you one more time, Come walking through the door. But we know that is impossible, We will hear your voice no more. We know you can feel our tears, And you don’t want us to cry. Yet our hearts are broken, Because we can’t understand, Why someone so precious had to die. We pray that God will give us strength, And somehow get us through, As we struggle with this heartache, That came from losing you. Wishing for one more day, Dennis, Connie, Krista and families

Bullying others occurs too often in our area By Murray Green
Although Anti-bullying Day was honoured on Feb. 22 in the Camrose area, bullying is still an issue. Many people are bullied at work by bosses or other coworkers. Instead of increasing production, it has the reverse effect. Self-esteem can be lowered and constant bullying can change your health and cause many employee sick days. “It got so bad for me that I had to go to the doctor and ask for stress pills, because it was too much for me to take,” said Jackie, not her real name. “Two coworkers have been bullying me for three years, but the manger either doesn’t believe it, or refuses to do anything about it.” What happens at work can affect people’s lives at home. Employees living in violent work places may be absent more often and have lower individual productivity. “I went to my boss, but they are scared to do anything about it. They believe other people instead of listening to my side of the story. I finally had to ask for a list of complaints about me and most of the things were made up,” said Jackie. If an employee has a bullying co-worker it may cause disruptions and threaten employee safety, not only the safety of the abused employee, but co-workers as well. If an employee is violent, that employee may be using the
workplace as a base for harassing people. “Then my boss supervises everything I do and questions my actions every day at work. They don’t see what happens behind the scenes. They don’t see how much this person likes to pit two co-workers against each other. She (a bully) even admitted to me that she likes to stir the pot,” said Jackie. Good employers understand that the personal well-being of employees is important to an organization’s success. Addressing an issue that affects productivity and safety makes good business sense. Employers who have implemented work place violence policies report an increase in staff morale. “It gets to the point that I don’t know what to do anymore. People higher up the ladder don’t want to deal with problems either,” she added. “Sometimes my doctor’s sick notes disappear as well and then I’m questioned as to why they were not submitted, or they didn’t want to pay for sick days.” Abuse is a pattern of controlling behaviour. At work, an abusive person can use many tactics to gain power over another employee. Examples include damaging personal property, name-calling, put-downs and other forms of verbal and emotional abuse, hitting, punching, kicking and other forms of physical abuse.
“Then my mail was looked at and people were going through my emails. I put in a complaint, but they just asked if it was anything important,” continued Jackie. “That wasn’t the point to me.” To help raise awareness of work place bullying in your community, you can ask local businesses to display bullying information in their place or work. Community agencies can work together to address bullying issues at the local level. Contact your Regional Family Violence and Bullying Coordinator to discuss initiatives in your region. If you are in immediate danger at work, call
911. Get the police involved if your boss refuses to do anything about the problem. Don’t ignore the problem, do something about it and stand up to bullying. Leaving your job is one option, but it doesn’t help others that have the same problem. Albertans affected by bullying can get help through the government and community organizations located across the province. If you’re a victim of bullying or abuse, call trained staff at any time of day, or chat online from noon to 8 p.m. Online chats and calls to the helpline are anonymous. Call the Bullying
Helpline at 1-888-4562323 (24 hours, seven days/ week). The helpline offers help in more than 170 languages. Begin online chat from (noon to 8 p.m. seven days a week).

Register now for no-charge energy efficiency program By Murray Green
A new Energy Efficiency Alberta program will make life more affordable for Alberta families by helping them conserve energy through the latest innovations, such as LED lights and power bars. Albertans who register for the Residential NoCharge Energy Savings Program–through efficiencyalberta.ca will be contacted starting in April for appointments for in-home installations of practical, no-charge efficiency products. “You can be among the first Albertans in line for savings available through this program. All of the home upgrades are at no charge to you and they’ll reduce your electricity bills,” said Shannon Phillips, Alberta Minister of Environment and Parks and Minister Responsible for the Climate Change Office All Alberta households are eligible to participate regardless of income or housing type. Installation will be conducted by qualified agents who schedule home visits.
Installers will remove old products and replace them with more energyefficient products, such as LED products to replace existing incandescent nightlights, lightbulbs and exit signs; high-efficiency shower heads; faucet aerators if no aerator is present; advanced power bars; and smart (self-adjusting) thermostat to replace nonprogrammable thermostats. Energy efficiency programs create jobs in construction and energy services and grow futureready industries such as solar generation. These are just some of the many ways that the Alberta government is working to make life better for Albertans. “Registering will help you to know how you can start improving and enhancing your home. It’s easy to do and will make your living space more comfortable,” added David Dodge, chair of Energy Efficiency Alberta. Ecofitt is a third-party service provider, with an office in Calgary, hired to manage the delivery of

the Residential No-Charge Energy Savings Program. In addition to the Residential No-Charge Energy Savings Program, Energy Efficiency Alberta will be offering other opportunities this year to help Albertans save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
including the Residential and Commercial Solar Program; Residential Retail Products Program; and Business, Non-Profit, and Institutional Energy Savings Program. Further information about these initiatives will be shared on efficiency
alberta.ca as it becomes available. Revenue from the carbon levy will provide the funds for rebates and incentives for families and communities to invest in energy-saving appliances, solar panels and retrofits of homes and buildings.

Grilling cookoff assists children with disabilities
By Murray Green
The Grillin’ and Chillin’ Barbecue Cookoff Club was founded last year by a handful of local people who wanted to perform charity work in the Camrose area, while having a lot of fun. The first fundraiser last November was a success at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus. Zumba instructor Olga Ojeda led the way with an energized session. The Zumbathon event
featured workouts, dinner, a silent auction, 50/50 tickets and raffles. “Our goal is to raise money to help children with physical disabilities purchase customized wheelchairs, walkers and medical equipment. Another goal is to raise money to help lessen the financial burden for the families and help children to grow to their full potential,” said Guy Johnston, of the Grillin’ and Chillin’ Barbecue Coo-

We will have a chilli cookoff, raffles, children’s games all day Saturday and camping for the weekend.

The Toyota Stout was a light truck produced by the Japanese auto maker Toyota from 1954 through 1989. In Japan, it was sold at Toyota Japanese dealerships called Toyopet Store. The early models were rare in North America because people were slow to forgive the Japanese after the Second World War and they were not built as tough as American and Canadian trucks. Toyota collector Kyle Levitt of Camrose found a rare 1967 in Montana and brought it to Canada to restore. “I was looking for an old Toyota truck to restore and I wanted something rare and something that would stand out. I searched for three or four years and finally found a Stout in Montana. It was in a field, but it was a oneowner truck and was originally purchased in Arizona. Last September, I drove down with a trailer and picked it up and fulfilled a lifelong dream. I thought it was a myth that there was one still around because of the limited quantities,” explained Kyle. “I have a lot of things Toyota, like the old logo on the wall, old magazine ads and collectables. I’m a diehard Toyota fan and every vehicle that I drive is a Toyota,” he said. However, if you needed a light truck that was good on gas, the Stout was a good option, especially further south where the winter elements didn’t expose the metal. Lose the rear bumper, lower the body to make it sleeker and restore it like the work truck it was meant to be is what Kyle had in mind when he first saw it in the bush. “I lowered it seven
inches and put on periodcorrect tires.” These tiny, odd trucks were the first Toyota pickups imported to the United States and, today, they are extremely rare. The mechanics were simple and robust, but the lightgauge sheet metal that made them perfect for moderate hauling and good gas mileage also made them prone to rust in the moisture. The elements took their toll on most of the early Japanese models. Vintage Japanese pickups have yet to get expensive as collectibles, but they’re still valued as reliable, albeit quirky, workhorses. A clean, rust-free example will be equally in demand, regardless of the mileage. This 1967 Toyota truck is very rare in Canada (not actually sold here), and this particular example has lived a sheltered life with little rust or modifications. “In fact, it might be the only one of its kind in Canada. I was lucky to find this one in such good condition,” said Kyle. Early Toyota trucks have a great feel to them, and the smaller size of this truck make it an interesting piece. The bed is in amazing condition with all original latches, lights and badges. The mint green looking colour is attractive. “I like the rat rod look and, instead of painting it, I’m thinking of just clearcoating it, so it looks like the age it is,” he added. “I am going to put Japanese writing on it to make it look like an old shop truck.” The wheels and hubcaps are also stock and Kyle even put the wide whitewall tires on it to retain its vintage look. At a quick glance, it causes most Canadians to compare it to International
Kyle Levitt found the rare gem in Montana.
trucks because of its rounded cab and square box style. The interior features a sweep speedometer and a two-spoke steering wheel. Kyle replaced the front windshield and seals, similar to any restore of an old vehicle found outdoors exposed to the elements. “The motor ran when I first picked it up, but I’ve taken it apart to replace the rods and valves to bring it back to original.” Second generation Stout (1960 to 1978) was manufactured at Honsha Plant, Toyota City, Japan. Kyle’s model had a 1.9 litre engine and a four-speed manual on-the-tree transmission. “It’s pretty gutless, but that is the way I want to keep it. I’m going to put regular plates on it and drive it to and in cruises. If I’m going to put a lot of work into it, I want to be able to drive it when I want.” A version of the Light Stout, equipped with the 1.9 litre 3R engine, was sold in North America as the Stout 1900 between 1964 and 1969. During its first year in the American market, a total of four units were sold.
“The thing with Japanese vehicles is that they didn’t change a lot each year. Your parts could fit for many years. Only the grill or small things would
change. That makes it easier to find parts.” “I want to go to about 30 car shows this year including the car cruise,” said Kyle.

Check all of your vehicle fluids on a regular basis The weather is difficult to forecast with any precision. Consequently, you and your vehicle must be ready for just about any situation. Therefore, have you verified your car or truck’s fluid levels? Granted, today’s cars
and trucks need less care and maintenance than in the past. In most cases, these are provided by the dealer. However, even the best dealer in the world can’t calculate and check all the fluids under the hood as you drive along. There are some things that
car owners can (and must) still do to maintain their vehicles. Checking fluids is one of them. Above all, be sure the windshield washer reservoir is filled up with high quality, very low temperature liquid. Don’t try to save a few miser-
able pennies on cheap windshield washer fluid that will have a tendency to freeze on very cold days. While you’re at it, be sure the engine is cold so you can have a look at the level of antifreeze in the radiator. If your vehicle is a few years old, it might be wise to have it checked by your mechanic for its capacity to sustain very low temperatures.
While the hood is open and your fingers dirty, why not verify the level of the brake master cylinder, the engine oil, the power steering pump oil and, if possible, the transmission oil. In each case, check first with the owner’s manual. If you are not familiar with performing such operations, have your mechanic do it!

By Lori Larsen University of Alberta Augustana Campus students were given an opportunity to thank individuals and organizations in the community for the generous donations to awards, bursaries, scholarships, medals and prizes during the 2016-17 Augustana Community Awards Banquet held on March 1. Augustana director of development Bonita Anderson welcomed distinguished guests and donors, students, community members and staff to the special evening prepared and presented by Augustana, the students and recipients of awards. President of Augustana Students’ Association Benjamin Curry thanked all the donors and honoured guests and congratulated all award winners. “As a student you have to move forward and inspire others as you have been inspired.” Greetings were passed on from Camrose County councillor Doug Lyseng in his absence and City of Camrose Norm Mayer congratulated the students for their achievements and hard work. “We are very fortunate in this community to have a fairly high level of support for our students and scholarship program and I think it is beneficial to the University, Augustana Campus to have that type of support.” Augustana assistant director of development Bree Urkow updated attendees on the campus projects and future endeavours and explained the Community Award Program. “The community gathered tonight and all our generous supporters makes much of what we do possible,” said Urkow. “Augustana staff and faculty could not provide the education experiences and opportunities to our students without our community of generous supporters.” Augustana Dean Allen Berger addressed the crowd. “Just like convocation, the annual Spring Soiree, the Report to the Community and the opening day of the academic year, this night is a special part of the Augustana calendar. “We are gathered once again to celebrate the extraordinary generosity committed to students of so many members of our community and I personally want to extend my thanks to all of you.” In response to the record attendance at the banquet this year Berger said that alone demonstrated the spirit in the community and the connections between Augustana and the community. Burgar Funeral Home was recognized for 45 years of commitment to Augustana students. Berger presented the 2016 Entrance Citation Recipients to Carson Hvenegaard (The Right Honourable Don Mazankowski Entrance Citation) and Jessica Logan (Gunvor and Erik Mygind Entrance Citation.) Berger introduced Augustana Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni Award recipient, Dr. Ronald Lett graduating class of 1971. “Dr. Ronald Lett grew up right here in Camrose,” said Berger. “Ron has dedicated his life to not only helping people but to training other health professionals to do the same in regions without adequate access to modern medicine.” Lett is a surgeon and trauma epidemiologist who provides improved education, training, and health care to those living in less fortunate regions of the world. He is the co-founder and international director of the non-profit organization, Canadian Network for International Surgery, and has promoted the delivery of essential surgical care to underprivileged people in Africa. The CNIS has trained over 25,000 African practitioners with the ability to offer life saving surgical and obstetric skills. Lett has devoted much of his career to improving maternal care, safety, and surgical capacity in low-income countries. “Here at Augustana we are very proud of the small role we played in preparing him for his exemplary career of public service,” remarked Berger. “Ron exemplifies the highest ideals of the liberal arts. He is an engaged citizen an able leader, an accomplished professional, an organizer, innovator and the person of exemplary personal integrity.” Dr. Lett accepted the award and a gift of a framed print from Berger and then spoke to the crowd about how the ability to give should not wait. “My question is how long should I keep going to Africa,” commented Lett. “I have been going to Africa for 42 years.” Lett spoke about the Giving Back Fallacy. “If you have been taking your whole career now you have to make up for your damages and provide the injured party with just payment for the loss of injury. I would like to suggest this is a fallacy,” said Lett. “My suggestion to the students and even those of you who are older, is to skip political leadership, skip rock and roll and pop movie stardom, skip software stockware. “Have a meaning full life and do it now.”

Junior golf series at Coal Creek
By Murray Green
Kia Canada (KCI) inked a multi-year extension of their long-term partnership with Canadian PGA Tour golfer David Hearn, as well as the expansion of KCI’s involvement in the Canadian golf landscape with two junior golf initiatives starting in 2017. A five event series across five provinces will be capped off with a championship in September. The third stop in the series will be in Ryley with a tournament on June 10 and 11 at the Coal Creek Golf Resort. KCI and Hearn will collaborate on the David Hearn Junior Series to assist the development of junior golf across Canada and raising awareness and funds for the Alzheimer Society through The David Hearn Foundation. “We’re excited to once again support David, his Foundation and the next generation of Canadian golfers” said Ted Lancaster, vice-president and COO, Kia Canada. “Kia strongly believes in the benefits that sport provides, specifically for youth, and we’re committed to helping communities grow by providing them with opportunities to play and learn together.” Hearn made headlines in 2016 as the top Canadian golfer on the PGA Tour recording nine Top 25 results, including a tie for eighth finish during the playoffs at the Deutsche Bank Championship and representing Canada in golf at the Olympic Games in Rio. “Kia has been with me and my family since early on in my career,” said Hearn. “I am thrilled to be collaborating on two new initiatives to support junior golf and give back to communities across Canada.” Each series event will consist of 36 holes of competition and will be open to juniors of all skill levels in the follow-
ing age groups: boys and girls (U15), boys and girls (U17), and boys and girls (U19). The low overall player from each of the five qualifying junior series events will be invited to play in the championship. Through its six-stage competitive development program that focuses on tournaments, clinics, international competitions, and mentoring programs with golf professionals, the CJGA introduces the game to juniors as young as five and offers competitive multi-day events for the more advanced golfer. The CJGA acts as a feeder system to provincial and national competitions, collegiate and university golf, as well as professional and recreational golf. “We could not be happier to continue and expand our partnership,” said Brad Parkins of the CJGA. “His desire and passion to give back to junior golf is exceptional and our members were able to see that first hand last year. Expanding the opportunity this year to reach juniors from across the country shows the commitment to giving back to the game and communities across Canada.” Founded in 2015, The David Hearn Foundation’s central focus is to support the Alzheimer Society of Canada in reducing the personal and social impacts of the disease by raising funds to provide individuals and families with needed programs and services. Through its partnership, the Foundation will aim to increase awareness, improve care for those in need and enhance the quality of life for those affected by the disease, while also empowering Canadians to take action and create positive change.

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.
LET’S CELEBRATE! Thelma Flemming is turning 90. Join us at the Kingman Hall, Saturday, March 18, 1-4 pm. No gifts please. ATTENTION – Rose City Farmers’ Market is now giving away three prizes each week, 1-6 pm. Come have fun, enter for the draw at the Avon/Watkins Table next to Center Court. THE FOOD BANK NEEDS YOUR HELP! For every donated food item you bring to the Rose City Farmers’ Market, Thursdays 1-6, Duggan Mall, you receive Farmers’ Market BUCKS! For info or to book a table, call Allan at 780-678-0349.
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.

By Murray Green
Alberta Education Minister David Eggen tabled Bill 1: An Act to Reduce School Fees in the Legislature. If passed, public school jurisdictions will have a new regulation in place that will restrict from charging some fees. Fees for instructional supplies or materials. This includes fees for textbooks, workbooks, printing and paper costs. Bus fees for eligible students (who live greater than 2.4 km from their designated school) travelling to their designated school. Elk Island Catholic Schools (EICS) is pleased with Bill 1 as it mirrors what it already has in practice. EICS has never charged fees for eligible transportation and all fees for basic education were eliminated in the 2016-17 school year. The fees that EICS does continue to charge are those for the enhancement of the student’s educational experience (performing arts, Sport for Life program) and/or support choice. “Our board is pleased that the government has announced new funding to support families in addition to changes to fees that are aligned to current EICS’ practices,” said board chair Justine Wright. “The board of trustees anxiously awaits the 2017 budget announcement to determine how we can further support the students and the families we serve.” EICS will be providing additional information on this issue after the regular board meeting on April 19.

Teeing up fore a good cause Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Cold wind and deep snow were the only handicaps golfers had during the annual Habitat for Humanity Putt Up a House snow golf tournament held on Feb. 25. This team of gallant golfers left to right, Norbert Schuh, Michael Linton, Chad Slubowski and Dennis Chamney were ready to tee up at hole 16, one of three holes located at Best Western Plus Camrose Resort and Casino during the annual charity snow golf tournament.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Imagination was the only requirement when it came to choosing a costume and clubs for the annual Habitat for Humanity Putt Up a House Snow Golf Tournament. Imagination was running wild as demonstrated by Meg Muhlback, aka the fuzzy blue unicorn, who managed to stay warm as she drove the ball towards the tee with her magic club at hole 3 located at the Bill Fowler Centre at Mirror Lake. The successful event nearly tripled the money raised last year with a total of approximately $10,000 to be used to support Habitat builds in Camrose.
