SPRING BOOKING
Barenaked Ladies band adds Camrose By Murray Green
Canadian icon band Barenaked Ladies selected Camrose as one of their three Alberta stops on the upcoming Canada 1 Five 0 Tour. The Barenaked Ladies (BNL) will be on stage at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on Thursday, Nov. 2 for an 8 p.m. show. Lougheed Centre subscribers will receive first chance to purchase VIP tickets on March 14. Tickets will go on sale to the general public Friday, March 17 at 10 a.m. “We have 24 gold VIP tickets and 76 silver VIP tickets available. It includes such things as merchandise, access to the sound check, autographed photo and a commemorative event ticket,” said Nick Beach, Lougheed Centre manager. “I asked the question (about if they would consider coming to Camrose), but I thought they would be too expensive. The agent said this is what the band wants to do to celebrate Canada’s 150. If Edmonton people want to see them, they have to come out here, or Fort Saskatchewan.” If you are a season subscriber, or Pick 6 purchaser you can call, or visit the box office before they go on sale to the general public. “It is a really big show for us. When I booked Steven Page (former BNL member) last season, it was because I wanted to bring him to the Camrose audience. It just coincides that we are making the announcement a week before Steven’s show,” added Nick. “These guys are Canadian icons and it will be the biggest show that we have had so far,” he added. “To us, that is like getting the (Tragically) Hip or Bryan Adams. It’s the same class of artists. People are used to seeing these artists in a stadium or arena. This will show other artists that we can host topname performers in Camrose at the Lougheed Centre. It is exciting.” The intimate setting is great for the Canada 1 Five 0 Tour for the BNL. “Our entire theatre of 573 seats takes up the same space they reserve for VIPs at stadium or arena concerts. It will be like every person here will have a close view of the band, like they are in your living room. Most people don’t get that close at bigger city concerts,” explained Nick. The band is currently composed of Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson and Tyler Stewart. Upon forming, the band quickly developed a cult following in their native Canada culminating in their self-

titled 1990 cassette becoming the first independent release ever to be certified gold in Canada. The band then received a major record deal with Reprise Records. Its label debut, Gordon, was released in 1992. The band’s style has evolved greatly throughout its career, and its music which began as exclusively acoustic quickly grew to encompass a mixture of a wide array of styles including pop, rock, hip hop and rap. The band’s following translated into immediate success with Gordon
in Canada with a number of popular singles including “If I Had $1,000,000” and “Brian Wilson,” but it was not until the band’s 1996 live album, Rock Spectacle with its singles, live versions of “The Old Apartment” and “Brian Wilson”, and its 1998 fourth studio album, Stunt, that the band finally found success in the United States. The band is also known for their light-hearted, comedic performance style and humorous banter between songs; improvised raps/songs are staples at most concerts.
They have won multiple Juno Awards and have been nominated for Grammy Awards. The group has sold over 15 million records including albums and singles. The band released a new live album, BNL Rocks Red Rocks, early in 2016. It was the band’s first commercial live release since the departure of Steven Page in 2009, who ironically play at the Lougheed Centre on Thursday, March 16. Last fall, the band recorded with New York City a cappella group, The Persuasions, to record a 12-track album
composed of reworked BNL songs along with some Persuasions songs. The new album will soon released. “BNL will donate $1 from every ticket sold to Music Canada which helps less fortunate people take music lessons, helps purchase music equipment for school and children,” said Nick. “BNL will have an opening act, but we don’t know who that will be yet.” BNL also play in Fort Saskatchewan on Nov. 3 and in Red Deer on Nov. 6.

REFLECTIONS by Bonnie Hutchinson Revenge of the “on hold”people
This column has a long preamble to two short happy stories and something that made me laugh. The preamble. I have for months been putting off a phone call to a phone and internet company to tell them I’d like to receive my statements online instead of in the mail. I tried to set that up using the link the company provided, but I can’t make their link work. This is the same company that, every time I want to set up an automatic email message saying I’ll be away until a certain date, has a system I can’t seem to make work. Every time I have phoned about that problem, they walk me through the instructions and then they, too, run into the same problem I do. Sometimes the technical person is able to set it up manually, and sometimes even that doesn’t work. This should be a five-minute task, max. Last time I wanted to set up the automatic message, I invested an hour and quarter waiting on hold and eventually talking to a technical helper who had a hard time figuring out how to work around the problem I’d encountered. Apologetically he explained that, “Our technical people are working on it.” If they are, I haven’t noticed. I’ve been encountering the same problem for more than a year. *** My heart sinks every time I think about having to phone that company, because I’ve never yet been able to get through to a human being in less than 15 minutes. Sometimes (when the problem was such that I had to wait until I could get through), I’ve waited for 45 minutes. At least they no longer have a message that says, “You call is important to us…” which is clearly not true. If my call was important to them, they’d answer. They still have the message that says, “We’re experiencing unusually high call volumes,” which is also clearly not true. If it was unusual, I wouldn’t always have to wait so long. Grump, grump, grump. Last time I was waiting and waiting, my grown-up mind pointed out to me that my grumpiness doesn’t change a thing about the situation except to make me feel worse. That was a useful train of thought. I set myself the challenge of being as “Zen” as I could. So at least the company is perhaps helping me build character. *** All this is a preamble to two happy stories and something that made me laugh. Yesterday I had to phone a credit union and a phone company (a different phone company). I dreaded both calls, not because they were difficult, but because I expected to have to wait a long time to speak with a person. I chose to make the calls at a time when, if necessary, I could take half an hour. The first call was to the credit union. They answered immediately, I explained what I wanted, they handled it right then, and the call was done in less than five minutes. Wow! The second call was to the phone company. Again, someone answered right away, I explained what I wanted and they handled it immediately. Wow Wow! The two calls combined took less than 10 minutes. How wonderful to have my time respected by not one but two large companies. I felt a bit discombobulated! *** And here’s what made me laugh, just a few minutes later. I read an article about how customers are using social media to get back at companies who provide bad service or products. The article included a Twitter post from one of my old heartthrobs – Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Jean Luc Picard of the Federation Starship Enterprise. He wished to set up a new Time Warner Cable account and met with long wait times, disconnects, forwards, call backs and more. He posted this tweet: “All I wanted to do was set up a new account with @ TWCable_NYC but 36 hours later I’ve lost the will to live.” I’m still laughing. *** If you have comments about this column or suggestions for future topics, send a note to Bonnie@BonnieHutchinson.com

One evening last fall, I went for a walk up along the ring road berm. It was late, I was tired, but the dog needed exercise. I saw for the first time that the Naturalization Projects had been extended farther west. A variety of new trees had been planted along the slope of the berm and the grass had been allowed to grow freely. It was remarkable to see how the different kinds of grasses distinguished themselves by their growth habits. Some grew in clusters, others spread freely: their heights varied as did the shape of their leaves, and the form of their seed heads. They even moved differently as they bent and twisted in the wind. When I stepped off the berm that evening, I had a spring in
my step and the tiredness was gone. This response surprised even me until I recalled a discovery I had made years ago – the joys of travelling the backroads and exploring the awe-inspiring beauty of our prairie landscape. And out on the plains, or in the river valleys, in the places too rugged or otherwise unsuitable, I discovered where the wild prairie grasses grow. It was the people I met along the way who taught me to really see and love the abundant life in the grasslands. They were farmers and ranchers, artists and scientists and indigenous peoples and others. Often my companions and I were invited to sit at the kitchen table, or to walk the land, and even though we were most often perfect strangers, these people shared their stories with us. In time, I understood what it was to be a steadfast steward of the land. Of the grasses, I learned they are superbly evolved organisms that are foodmaking, water-retaining, soil-stabilizing, carbon-eating machines. The sad reality is that the grasslands of North America, of which our Aspen Parkland makes up the northern most boundary, are amongst the most altered and endangered eco-
systems in the world. In the past 150 years, we have lost 80 percent of our native grasslands and many species are endangered. What has this to do with the Naturalization Projects in our community, of which the grasses are not necessarily native varieties? For me, it is two-fold. Firstly, I know that it does me good, body and soul, to be in the midst of grasses, and the other flora allowed to grow freely. The existing natural areas that run through the heart of Camrose are astonishingly beautiful and I am forever grateful for the work of people who both protect and maintain them. Secondly, the intent behind the continued greening of this community is a reminder to me that I need to be both insatiably curious about nature and to be constantly refueling my determination to take less from it and give back more. I support the Naturalization Projects in Camrose. No matter what the outcome of the current debate concerning these, if this process causes us to think more deeply about our relationship with the natural world that abounds in our own backyard, then that, in itself, is a good thing. June Osborne, Camrose

Grillin’ & Chillin’ BBQ Cookoff Club We are a non-profit organization that was founded in November of last year. A handful of people wanted to do some charity in our fine city of Camrose, and also have some fun! With that being said we would like to thank Olga Ojeda, a professional Zumba instructor here in Camrose, for heading up a Zumbathon fundraiser. She is truly amazing! Thank you to all the people who engaged in the fundraiser. You all looked like you were having a great time. Thanks to Augustana and Greg Ryan for the use of the gym. Thank you to all, we could not have done it without you! Let’s make it an annual fundraiser.

Stress is a normal part of everyday life for children and adults. It helps to motivate us and adds a positive challenge to life. However too much stress can be counter productive and overwhelming. Even very young children experience stress, and it is important for parents to recognize and help children learn to deal effectively with it. High levels of unrelieved stress can lead to behavior problems and can interfere with a child’s ability to function normally. When we help children deal with stress, they begin to build coping skills they will need throughout life. Parents and/or caregivers have the ability to help their children deal with stress using simple tools. To learn these tools, register for Kids Have Stress Too!

City looking for approval on the sale of two lots By Lori Larsen
City council approved the listing for sale of Lot 26A located at 4723-51 Street but did not approve the listing for sale of Lot 24A located at 4724-49 Street during the regular council meeting held on March 6. City of Camrose director of Planning and Development Aaron Leckie reported to council that both lots had been redistricted from Special (Historical) Residential District (SRD) to Direct Control (DC) at the Feb. 21 regular council meeting. Leckie cited the following reasons for administration recommending the sale and possible development of the lots. It is the highest and best use of vacant land, it does not impact future roadway widening, it provides an opportunity to prove that redevelopment in historical neighbourhoods can be sensitive to existing development even with reduced footprint, it represents a catalyst project for the consideration of reduced footprint redevelopment in other desirable areas of the city, it helps to fill the gap
for a demonstrated demand for new and innovative types of housing primarily as a result of the rising cost of home ownership, it provides the opportunity for the city to sell excess land in inventory and turns a vacant and municipal tax exempt property into a use that contributes to the tax base. Lot 26A would be proposed to be sold for not less than the assessed value of $60,520 and Lot 24A not less than the assessed value of $80,270. Both lots would also be subject to redistricting and subdivision costs and GST. Lot 26A
“There was no opposition noted from any of the adjacent owners,” commented Leckie “In fact, the owner directly to the south of the property was in favour of the development proposal once they had the opportunity to look through the regulations of the DC district, which actually make it more restrictive rather than less restrictive compared to the SRD district. “We have had a number of inquiries. We have not been actively listing

or vending this to anyone, but it has become apparent that at least one adjacent owner and a couple of local builders and developers have been following the redistricting process and have expressed interest.” Council comments
Councillor Bill Sears commented that in review of the City’s Strategic Plan he noted it specifically states identifying all the vacant sites the city owns and a clear goal to try and sell or encourage development on those sites. Councillor David Ofrim inquired as to whether or not the lot could be purchased by Camrose Dental Health Care to accommodate extra parking. Leckie responded. “It would be an issue because we moved it to the DC district which doesn’t identify commercial parking so we would have to change the zoning again.” The motion to approve the listing for sale of Lot 26A was carried.
Avenue widening. “This would actually eliminate half of the parking that they have. They lease the parking from the city now. If the lot were sold and it eliminates another two, is there any reason to believe that the lease agreement with this business would change? Is there any future impact with the Transportation Master Plan that would impact that agreement?” City manager Malcolm
that deliveries were impeding access to the back alley. “While a truck is parked there to offload, he (property owner) doesn’t have access off 48 Avenue to get up the back alley.” Leckie explained. “If we hold onto this lot to see what the future of 48th Avenue and road widening would be, even with some projections, it would be quite a long wait. It is some time after the year 2036 that
Lot 24A
The motion to approve the listing for sale of Lot 24A was met with a little more resistance from council. Councillor Greg Wood expressed his concern with the sale of this lot. “This one, I have a little more issue with. I think we may be premature listing this one for sale.” Councillor Sears stated he personally took a look at the lot and noted there was really only room for, at the most, four parking stalls. “I hope that is not an issue of parking. I do not know why we would be turning down development when there is a demand for this lot. I don’t want to be a council that is unfriendly to development.” Councillor Agnes Hoveland voiced concern over the elimination of parking for the businesses located directly west of Lot 24A (McSliquors and Monte Carlo Steak and Seafood) in the event of 48th
LOT 24A
Boyd replied. “The expansion of the roadway would impact the lease agreement and that is when the lease agreement would be cancelled.” Councillor Hoveland continued. “So that business would virtually have half of the parking that it currently has, plus less the parking that is behind that lot currently? “I would be reluctant to do anything with this right now until we see exactly what the ramifications are going to be.” Councillor Kevin Hycha inquired about a concern regarding deliveries to the businesses, brought to council during the Feb. 21 regular council meeting by resident Dave Chamberlain, property owner adjacent to the lot in question. Boyd indicated that the resident’s concern was

the widening of 48th Avenue would occur. “We agree with council and with the adjacent owners that there is a parking issue and we looked through all the configurations and cannot find a parking solution that actually utilizes that lot.” Mayor Norm Mayer also expressed concern with selling the lot. “I still have a problem and I know you are talking 15 or 20 years down the road, but I am nervous about a premature sale where the city may end up having to buy it back at a higher cost somewhere down the road. If it is there now, we could probably generate some more dollars in the way of rental out of it to accommodate the loss of taxes.” The motion to approve the listing for sale of Lot 24A was lost with a 4-4 vote.
Bawlf Wildcats hosts 1A basketball provincials
By Murray Green
Bawlf School is hosting the Senior High Girls 1A Basketball Provincials March 16 to 18. The Bawlf Wildcats posted a 10-0 league record and advanced to zone playoffs, even though they have secured a spot in provincials. “We are ranked number two in the province for 1A girls and we have definitely improved throughout the year. Our goal is to go for the gold,” said Grade 12 student Demi Vermeer. “Stirling, ranked number one, have won the last four provincials in a row. We played them last year in the final and lost. This year, we want to win it even more. We are closer to them (skill-wise) than we were last year. Since I’m in Grade 12, I would like to win a medal and end the year by making a mark. “We are stronger as a team this year. We have a
lot of depth and more players have stepped up. Instead of five players, we have a solid bench, which helps.” In her first year at high school, the team won bronze and last year the team earned silver, so the natural progression is gold medals. “Yes, of course, that would be nice, definitely. Our team is good in a lot of areas and we seem to click and have fun,” she said. “Stirling even has more depth than us, but we want everyone to contribute. It helps us a lot when we can rest, knowing we have a bench that is good under pressure. Then when we go back in we can play well because of that rest. Not only does it give you a physical rest, but you get a mental break.” The team has lost in tournaments against 3A schools. “Going against tougher teams has tested us on defence. Our defence is strong, but it helped playing better teams. We just
The Bawlf School girls senior high basketball team will be hosting provincials March 15 to 18. Members of the team include, back row from left, coach Rob Longhurst, Jordyn Watson, Madelyn Szott, Demi Vermeer, Kory Sheets, Kassidy Baumle, Shelby Stordahl, manager Jannah Pasyshnyk, and assistant coach Al Dyck. Front row from left, Halley Hay, Danielle Robitaille, Dallis Irvine, Kaylee Robitaille, Erin Keohane, Paige MacDonald, Shalane Munro and Tia Albers.
can’t be sloppy on defence and that is what we have to avoid.” Demi plays the post position and is often called upon to score some points. “It adds pressure, but I like to make plays. In a pressure game, I know that I can pass to someone else in order to get open. It
adds pressure, but to me that is the exciting thing,” she continued. “I like pressure games because that is what makes you better and it’s more fun.” Bawlf went to Eckville to play in the zone tournament. “Viking and Hay Lakes will be the teams to beat. Our
league is the strongest, so that has helped us all year. Since we are hosting provincials, a second team from zones will move on as well. It is possible to have a third team as a wild card, depending on rankings,” explained Demi. Continued on page 19

Grilling cookoff assists children with physical 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 group was organized last November and held a fundraiser on Feb. 4 at the University of Alberta
Augustana Campus. Zumba instructor Olga Ojeda led the way with an energized Zumbathon session. “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 Cookoff Club. On June 23 to 25, the group is planning a threeday barbecue competition at the Ohaton Sports Grounds. “We hope to at least double the amount we raised before at this event.
We will have a cookoff and children’s games all day Saturday. It is a family-orientated event with a variety of games. Camping is available for the weekend. Entry fee for the cookoff includes camping and offers cooks a chance for prizes such as a smoker for meats,” added Guy. “Pulled pork, ribs, kabobs and chicken will be available
for purchase. We will also have a beer garden with a live band Saturday night.” A draw for a raffle prize will be held on Saturday to raise funds for Courtland’s Hope in Camrose. Some tickets will be available prior to the draw. For more information contact Guy at 780-672-7530 or 780-2810654.

Wet Feet on Dry Land with Professor Glynnis Hood
What does it mean to succeed at the interface of two worlds – the terrestrial and the aquatic? West Chester University biologist, Dr. Frank Fish, aptly states that “semi-aquatic mammals occupy a precarious evolutionary position” because of their joint reliance on land and water. In Canada, we are most familiar with beavers, muskrats, river otters and mink as semi-aquatic, but their global extent includes marsupials, monotremes and placental mammals. Much of the research on freshwater environments examines how the environment influences organisms within and around them, but with semi-aquatic mammals we must ask: What happens when freshwater organisms dramatically alter the very form and function of the environment on which they depend? This lecture explores the fascinating world of wet feet on dry land, where ecological compromise creates dynamic ecosystems in a rapidly changing world.

Canadian music iconic band Barenaked Ladies entertained fans for 20 years with high energy and well crafted songs. Lead Steven Page left the band in 2009 to develop a solo career and his writing skills are also reflected in his material since then. Page will be performing at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Theatre on Thursday, March 16 at 8 p.m. The Juno Award winner is known for his strong voice and lyrics that contain humour as well as a message to which we can all relate. “I’m going to be playing a mix of my new music, some from my early solo career and some Barenaked Ladies songs that go way back too. I know what it is like to go to a concert. You want to hear some of your favourite songs, but bands just want to play their new stuff. I want a mix,” said Page. “People want to hear some new music to listen to what you have been up to, but I also know the older songs created memories for people and are important to them. I’m lucky to have songs like that in my catalogue and I’m happy to perform them.” Page has spent eight years developing his own name in music outside of the Barenaked Ladies, but is still connected through his songs that have lasted the test of time. “When you play in a big arena, you can only go through every so many years. I was in Edmonton last summer, but I came back to Alberta recently to play with the Red Deer Symphony Orchestra and now I’ll be going back to play Camrose. We are lucky in Canada to have high-quality theatres outside of the big cities, such as they have in Camrose and Medicine Hat, and all over the country,” said Page. “It is always great to travel across Canada and it is familiar. I like the feeling of being home throughout Canada. To have a place in people’s hearts is pretty awesome.” He reflects positively on his past. “I’m not as embarrassed about my old music as some people think. I look at what I wrote as a teenager and say, wow, I did a pretty good job. Over the years, I have learned how to write songs and what I like in a song. I’ve learned not to be afraid to push myself,” he explained. “I always have written songs that have been stylistically eclectic and lyrically interesting or challenging.” Continued on page 15

In Camrose, he will be performing as a trio. “I have been two-man shows for years with these two guys and I finally brought them both together to have a trio.” Page will be with Craig Northey on guitar (with the Odds) and Kevin Fox on cello. “Craig is one of my closest friends and Kevin is the first person I call to go play music festivals. Playing without a drummer allows the music and words to come out more.” Page often follows where the music takes him. “When I make a record, I never know what it is going to sound like until it is finished. At the end of the day, it still sounds like me and fans will say this is Steven Page. I think that is a great compliment because I have brought something that is familiar to the table, but I have trusted myself and that makes it more fun.” Even on stage, Page likes to bring unpredictability. “I like to think every night is a special occasion for both us and the audience. We build a rapport with the audience and what happens on stage may not happen with any other audience. I want people to walk away feeling they experienced something unique,” said Page. “I like to perform old songs such as ‘Old Apartment’, ‘Brian Wilson’ and ‘Jane’ and I’ll keep performing them, but I will change a few others each concert. I like to pull some out of the hat to keep it fresh and fun for us.” One song he doesn’t perform is ‘If I Had $1,000,000’ because it was a duet with Barenaked Ladies co-founder Eddie Robertson. “It was intended as a duet and it would feel weird or cheap if I tried to duplicate it. As much as people like the song, without that banter between us it runs the risk of being an imitation of what we used to do. I don’t want to disappoint people and have them think less of it. I’d rather have people walk away who are pleasantly surprised.” 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. It is also open one hour prior to all performances.

Simons wins Alaska’s Iron Dog snow race By Murray Green
Ryan Simons of Camrose and his snowmobile racing partner Cory Davis captured the Iron Dog title in Alaska by crossing the finish line in Fairbanks a couple of hours before their next competitor on Feb. 25. The race spans 2,036 miles and the two-person team has to cross the finish line together in the event that is held before the famous 1,000 mile dog sled race. “We started at Big Lake, near Anchorage, went to Nome and then turned around and headed to Fairbanks,” explained Ryan. “I have competed in all of the big events in North America. I have been fairly successful, but this one was on my bucket list to try and win one day.” Snowmobile engine breakdowns resulted in non-finishes and an eighthplace result to drive Ryan to compete again. “This was the first time that we didn’t have engine troubles. It’s not fun repairing snowmobiles in those cold temperatures and windy conditions,” he added. “It is a sense of accomplishment to win the event.” Tyler Aklestad and Tyson Johnson were in the lead the day before, but were disqualified for receiving help in the race. They appeared to be on their way to a second straight victory in the northern marathon, but race marshals saw a picture posted on the internet showing spectators push-
ing down on their two snow machines during a fuel stop. “We were in second at the time of our last layover and Cory is friends with Tyler and Tyson and we were chatting with them. They broke the news to us of the disqualification, because the race officials already phoned them. That changed our strategy because we were two-and-ahalf hours ahead of the next team. We could run a slower and steady pace and not push our machines as much. There was no sense in pushing it. The race was essentially over then,” said Ryan. Now the team has to decide if they are going to defend their title. “If I could just show up and race it, then I would do it for many more years, but the race takes so much prep work. Just preparing and organizing for it eats up at least a month-anda-half of your winter. It is a time thing. You get your sleds running well and they are stripped down to nothing and you ship them up there in crates and then they are put back together again. Then it takes time to get everything running great again. You are never done, you try and get it running the best that you can in the time you have. We could still be working on them today, put it that way,” he shared. “This is the only race I entered this year. I’m kind of retired from competitive racing, but I wanted to enter this one,” he added. “You don’t

race for the prize money, you race for the pride of winning. I have a lot of sponsors, so we didn’t have a lot of expenses.” Crossing the finish line first makes up for the disrupted sleep and mandatory layovers. “The hardest thing is dealing with the weather conditions. There is nothing fun about it, it literally hurts. We hit 52 below (F) and you don’t want to take your gloves off and work on your sled.” Ryan has raced competitively since he was about 17. “Racing just comes naturally to me. Thankfully I have my family support, fiancee and young son Blair to thank and be thankful for. It has been my life for more than 15 years. To win a race like that is good and it has a huge following.”

Augustana students perform two plays this spring By Murray Green
The University of Alberta, Augustana campus drama department will be showing two plays during their March 16 to 18 and March 22 to 25 productions at the Augustana Theatre Centre. All shows are at 7 p.m. D i r e c t or / sup er v i sor
Kevin Sutley leads the cast in I Shot A Duck and A Human Write that involves about 20 students. A Human Write is a story, written by Amy Sutton, about an actress/ writer whose thoughts end up being characters in the play. “The characters are
voices in her head as she tries to come up with a story,” said Sutley. “We have nine actors, one person and eight others who are ideas for her next play she is trying to write. They all work together to resolve that issue. It is a fun way to explore where the creativity to write comes from.”
I Shot A Duck was written by Jason Chinn of Edmonton for Augustana students. Late 40s bride Johanna (Amy Wright) marries Rufus (Bennett Wilson), 25, with the help of her drag queen friend Shonelle (Vincent Major) in front of a crowd of friends and family with mixed opinions. “It is a story of a mother and two daughters. The mother and one of the
daughters are actresses and the other is a performance artist,” explained Sutley. “This is more of a family drama. It spans four seasons and several years. It starts with a romance, marriage and the intrigue that happens. Over time the husband becomes interested in one of the daughters, which causes problems.” Tickets to the plays will be available at the door.

“We are second, Viking is eighth and Hay Lakes is 10th. From the beginning, we have said we want to earn a spot and not go just because we are hosting. We want to win zones.” Hosting in Demi’s final high school year is ideal for her. “It is great for the community. Some people are overwhelmed because of the amount of work that goes into it, but in the end everyone is going to be happy
that we had the opportunity to host, especially with the new school. It is good to host when you know your team is strong.” Demi indicated that the coaching on her team is one of the major reasons they are strong again this season. “We had one coach since Grade 8 and another since Grade 9, so everything is familiar. The players have been together since Grade 8, so we know
each other pretty well and know how we react in certain game situation.” The Wildcats have 15 players. “It is a big team, but it is nice because we don’t have to worry about if we have enough players for practices or games,” said Demi. “You can have higher intensity practices with more people.” Demi is going to the University of Alberta, Augustana next year to play soccer.

Carol Marion Dunster August 10, 1939 ~ March 6, 2017 Carol Marion Dunster of Camrose, formerly of Garner Lake, passed away on Monday, March 6, 2017 at the age of 77 years. Carol was born in Wainwright, Alberta on August 10, 1939 and lived in Kinsella until 1948 when her mother Frances remarried and moved to Edmonton. They lived in the Highlands area and Carol attended Eastglen School. Carol worked part-time jobs including a roller skate waitress at A&W Drive-in and a receptionist in a medical clinic where she met Fred in 1958. They were married in 1960 and moved to Victoria where they lived for five years. Returning to the Highlands area of Edmonton, they adopted Michael in 1965 and Karen in 1967; Christine was born in 1976. As well as raising her children, Carol’s passions included curling, reading, gardening, crafting and photography. Carol had a lifelong love of animals, nature and the outdoors. In 1993, Fred retired and they moved to living full time at Garner Lake. Carol loved the time she spent there and welcomed many visits from family and friends. In 2005, Carol and Fred moved to Camrose where Carol became active in social activities such as floor curling, canasta and coffee parties with the neighbours. Carol is lovingly remembered by her husband Fred; daughters Karen Anderson of Edmonton and Christine (Darren) Nordell of Ardrossan; son Michael (Birgit Pries) of Edmonton; and grandchildren Benson Nordell, Annika Pries and Maximus Nordell; and relatives and friends. She touched many people with her energy, vitality and zest for life. Carol loved a good party and often brought people together for celebrations, great and small.

Carol Dinice Huebner Carol Dinice Huebner was born in Edmonton, Alberta on February 23, 1952 to Lucy and Eli Radomsky. Her and her two brothers Warren and Wayne Radomsky lived with their mother on the south side of Edmonton. Later, they moved to Sherwood Park to live with their father and his second wife Louise. They were joined later by their new sister Carlee. Upon returning from living on the East Coast, Grandma Lucy and her second husband Frank Herring moved to Hay Lakes, Alberta. They purchased the hotel and café where they lived with their three daughters Susan, Barbra and Sandra. During the summer of 1972, Carol worked in the café where she met her husband Clarence for the first time. After a rocky first encounter, they dated until 1974 when they where married. They returned to Hay Lakes soon after and welcomed four daughters Jody, Amy, Kristen and Kelsey; and four grandchildren Abigayle, Hunter, Lily and Riley. Over the next 42+ years of marriage, they never left the comforts of the Hay Lakes community where family and friends were never more than a step away. Carol was predeceased by her Father Eli Radomsky and her mother Lucy Herring. She was a friend to many and a mother to all. She will be greatly missed. A memorial service was held on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Hay Lakes, Alberta. Inurnment will take place at a later date at the Wilhelmina Lutheran Cemetery.

Experience and Expertise Estate Planning
May 2, 1964 ~ March 6, 2017 Jennifer May Vowles, the second oldest daughter of Jeanne Severson and Lester Keohane, was born on May 2, 1964 in Camrose, Alberta. Beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend to many, she passed away at the age of 52 years at St. Mary’s Hospital on March 6, 2017. Beginning life in a two-room house in Round Hill, Alberta, Jennifer joined older brother Bob to await the arrival of brothers Michael and later Danny. Her exploits in high school focused much more on having a lot of fun rather than grades. However, when she wanted to, she buckled down in university and maintained Honours standing throughout every term of her academic career, graduating with a Bachelor of Science with Distinction in 1992. In between high school and university, Jennifer found the time to find the “love of her life” in Zane Vowles, and they were married on July 17, 1982. Alex was born on September 29, 1983 and Amber joined the family on August 9, 1987. By that time, they had left their first home in Camrose to take up residence on their first farm at Dried Meat Lake. After 13 years, they moved to a second farm for five years before finally leaving the Dried Meat Lake area for their current acreage by New Norway. Life got even more busy and interesting as their grandkids burst on the scene. Jennifer’s work life eventually led her to Hanson & Sons to focus on bookkeeping and payroll until a friend sought her out for a programming position at Augustana that developed into a distinguished professional career of 14 years, before health issues took her out of the work place. Outside of work, Jennifer discovered a multi-tasking preoccupation continuously creating crafts while being captivated by crime shows. She also thoroughly enjoyed camping most weekends of every summer possible and further developed a very enjoyable sequence of annual trips and events, culminating in many extensive ways to celebrate Christmas. Left to cherish her memory are husband Zane of Camrose; son Alex (Jennifer) of Camrose; daughter Amber of Camrose; three grandchildren Macayla, Mason and Madison; brothers Bob (Kerrie) Keohane of Round Hill, Michael (Maralee) Keohane of Olds and Daniel (Rebecca) Keohane of Bawlf. Jennifer was predeceased by her parents Jeanne Severson and Lester Keohane. A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 11, 2017 from CityLights Church in Camrose, Alberta with Dale Swanson officiating. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Stollery Children’s Hospital. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Camrose and District Community Band holds spring concert By Murray Green
The Camrose and District Community Band will be joined by a special guest, the Fort Saskatchewan Community Band, on Sunday, March 26 in a spring concert. Under the direction of Tom Spila, the band will perform at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in Camrose at 2 p.m. There is no admission charge for the popular event that features musical guests from the Fort Saskatchewan Community Band. The Camrose and District Community Band is comprised of local musicians and University of Alberta, Augustana Campus students. “Fort Saskatchewan will open the concert before we play. Augustana students will be playing a selection of songs by themselves as well,” noted Spila. “We end the show by playing a few songs with everyone together. It’s a special concert in the fact that we have invited another band to play with us and involve different groups. Last year, we had the Wetaskiwin Strings and the CCHS band. Fort Saskatchewan invited us to play there with them, so we are returning the favour.” The bands will perform a variety of selections, including standard concert literature, marches, jazz and movie themes. There will be light refreshments following the concert. “We have 63 members, which is the largest we have ever had. More people know about our band and we have more former students going

to Augustana and are playing with us,” said Spila. “Along with the numbers, the quality of the band is always improving because we have a fuller sound.” Formed in 1983, the Camrose and District Community Band was started by a group of 13 interested local musicians, under the baton of Spila, for the purpose of providing a recreational adult band for the community. “This has been a very rewarding experience for me. I enjoy the Community Band and this concert showcases how good the band is. It is unique to have a band of this size in a city this size. Although I’ll be retiring from the high school in June, I will be continuing with the Community Band.” “Music is a great thing. Once you learn to love it,
music is forever,” said band president Ray Hook. “I have played for seven years and have been the president for the last six years. I am the liaison between Tom and the band and help with some organization. I learned to play the baritone in high school and loved it. I always wanted to play and I have been in community bands everywhere. I played in the drum and bugle band at the Royal Military College, but then didn’t play again for some time.” He has played in many bands in several communities across Canada. “I’m blown away by the size and quality of the Camrose band. Tom has been amazing in molding everyone together. It is a thrill to play for this band.” While the focus of the band is educational, the
group provides a wonderful social outlet as members thrive musically and make new friends at the same time. Membership is open to anyone over 18 years of age, and ranges from 18 years of age to 90 plus. The ensemble is governed by an elected executive with help from various committees. The band’s repertoire consists of a wide variety of styles. “The way Tom sells it is that you are here because you love music, not to be criticized on how you play. He is an excellent teacher,” said Ray. “It’s been an honour to be the president. It’s an honour to play in the band.” Performances include local trade shows and events, public concerts and festivals. The band membership consistently totals over 60 musicians representing a wide array
of occupations and people from all walks of life. For many years now, Augustana students with experience on an appropriate instrument have been able to join in the band as full members while receiving university credit for their work. Rehearsals take place Tuesday evenings from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in Camrose Composite High School band room. The season runs from late September to late May.

Wheelchairs, walkers, crutches bound for Puerto Vallarta
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Several members of the Rotary Club of Camrose and other community volunteers wheeled 141 wheelchairs and 67 walkers as well as some crutches and canes onto a truck March 9 for delivery to the airport then off to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico Rotary Club affiliate. By Lori Larsen
The Rotary Club of Camrose are once again wheeling a helping hand to people less fortunate. Since 2000, the Camrose Rotary Club has been collecting wheelchairs and other medical equipment and then sending them to an affiliate Rotary Club in Puerto Vallarta (PV), Mexico. On March 9, members of the Rotary Club along with other volunteers loaded 141 wheelchairs, 67 walkers, crutches and canes (along with parts) onto a McTavish
Deliveries truck, to be transported to the airport for delivery to the Puerto Vallarta Rotary Club. As one of the Club’s many initiatives, wheelchairs, walkers, crutches and canes were collected from residents, health care institutions and the provincial government’s AIDS to Daily Living program and generously stored in The Brick warehouse. Once the PV club receives the equipment, they transport it to a warehouse for repairs (if necessary) and then it is distributed to people in need and who are unable to afford the much-appreciated equipment. The wheelchairs, as well as other medical equipment, are delivered to Discapacitados Vallartenses A.C. Puerto Vallarta, a support group for children and adults with physical and mental disabilities that ensures the wheelchairs and other equipment are distributed to the people who need them. A nominal deposit may be charged to prevent the equipment from being sold, for people in desolate situations, the equipment is given to them in an effort to make their lives better. Don Rebus, Camrose Rotarian, spoke about the gratitude expressed from the PV Rotary. “I was talking to our Puerto Vallarta contact Ivan Applegate Curiel,” noted Rebus. “He is the Rotarian in the PV club who organizes everything down there. He (Curiel) told me how much he appreciates the long history of our relationship which has helped many people that we will never meet.” Rebus commented on how this initiative allows residents to see the far reaching affects of the volunteer work of the local Rotarians. “The club also appreciates all the support from residents and local businesses for this initiative,” said Rebus, without which such worthy causes would not be possible.
Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose Rotarian Jeff Bonnor, one of many volunteers, sets a walker onto a truck along with wheelchairs, other walkers, canes, crutches and parts to be delivered to the airport, then transported to Puerto Vallarta Rotary Club affiliates for distribution to people in dire need of the equipment and a helping hand.

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.

Steele reflects on the music of George Jones By Murray Green
Award-winning singer and song writer Duane Steele and his band will take you on a journey of George Jones’ life through stories and songs. The tribute to one of the top country artists will be held at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre on March 17, beginning at 8 p.m. “I’ll be playing his songs and telling some stories about the artist and what he was going through. I’ll go from the ’50s to the ’90s and cover his career until the last few years. It is hard to cover 40 to 50 years of music in one night,” said Duane. “This will be the opening show on the tour for me.” Steele will sing the hits of Jones that spanned five decades including his duets with Tammy Wynette to the number one country song of all time “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” You’ll also hear the stories of Jones’ life, which echoed the country songs he sang filled with success, failure, hard-drinking and heartbreak. The Legend of George Jones is a must-see for Jones fans and country fans alike. “I was asked a year and a half year ago and I actually turned it down because I thought I couldn’t do George Jones justice and I wasn’t ready for a tribute concert,” said Duane. “I’ve always been a huge fan of George Jones and when we were a lot younger we played many of his songs. Now the time seems right, before I bring out some of my new music.” In a career that lasted more than 50 years, Jones evolved from a young honky-tonker to a music icon as he recorded more than 150 albums and became the symbol of traditional country music. His music continues to inspire artists of all genres. “As an entertainer, I looked at this as a huge challenge and something I could dig my teeth into. I love the music and the styling of George Jones. It is going to be fun to express his songs the way he did and tell his story,” said Duane. “He is probably one of the greatest country music singers on a record. He was an inter-

esting man and had a whole catalogue of music.” When Duane started playing in a band, he often sang his songs. “We (band members) asked each other who sounds like George Jones the most. He has a rich history of music and we played his songs.” The Hines Creek singer has made his home in Red Deer for the past 15 years. “I call central Alberta my home and have played in Camrose at the Bailey before, but this will be the first time in the Lougheed Centre. It is a great venue and I like a more intimate setting, rather than playing in bars when I first
started. I’m excited that Camrose will be our first show.” Duane is among Canada’s top country recording artists and songwriters with a professional career dating back to 1984. “I will be playing a song off my new album called Country Folk that I want to share with the audience to give people a look into my background growing up in the Peace country.” Duane has toured the world headlining his own shows and opening for some of the hottest acts in country music including Shania Twain, Terri Clark and Trisha Year-
