Mo and Wanda Griffiths set sail on March 30, 2018, on the beautiful Emerald Princess from Los Angeles, California for a 28-day cruise to the South Pacific. With 3,200 passengers and 1,100 crew, they had 4 stops in Hawaii, then headed south, crossing the equator on April 10. Then, on to Pago Pago and Bora Bora. There were a couple more stops in Tahiti and Moorea. Then they headed back to Los Angeles with 8 straight sea days, seeing only one other ship and four Navy Jets. Wanda wants everyone to know that she took part in the Equator Crossing Ceremony while Mo chickened out at the last minute. In summation, it was a wonderful trip and they took a copy of The Booster along with them.

Aquatic Centre revitalization approved

By Lori Larsen

By a seven in favour to two against vote, City of Camrose councillors approved the 2018-19 Camrose Aquatic Centre Revitalization Plan during the regular council meeting held on May 22.

The total budget for the project will be $17,233,000.

The project will include the addition of an eightlane, 25-metre training/ fitness pool with a depth of 1.2 metres at the shallow end and three metres at the deep end. Included with the training/fitness pool will be diving blocks with sliding rails, a recreational diving board, integrated steps for easy access and anchors for future play features.

Other features of the revitalization plan include

a shallow pool of approximately one metre with easy access entry, a lazy river, a tots’ shallow play area with play and splash features, a new water slide exiting into a trough, in-ground accessible hot tub, upgrades to existing change rooms with an expansion to the family change room, renovation to the front lobby providing easier access to the front counter, new heating, air conditioning and ventilation, new pool filtration and water treatment system for all pools, steam room, upgraded fire and security alarm systems, general cosmetic upgrades to existing lobby and hall areas and a new splash park located on the south side of the new addition.

Construction will begin, upon approval of all

required permits, with the exterior work on the west side of the building during the summer of 2018.

The existing pool will remain open for the remainder of the 2018 summer season.

In the early fall (September) of 2018, the entire facility will be closed for approximately 14 months while construction is being completed.

The City continues to explore options to accommodate residents’ swimming and other aquatic program needs during the closure period.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster The Camrose and Area Animal Shelter is at full capacity with approximately 71 cats in total.

Tis the season for babies

By Lori Larsen

The warm weather brings out the desire for pets or feral cats and dogs to wander and find a mate, and ultimately reproduce.

The unfortunate result of this can be an overpopulation of, often, unwanted baby kittens or puppies.

The Camrose and Area Animal Shelter reminds residents to be responsible pet owners and keep their pets contained on their own property and consider having them spayed or neutered as well as tattooed or microchipped, which can help lost pets find their way home quickly.

“We still hope to convince City Council to eventually consider a cat bylaw,” said Camrose and Area Animal Shelter Society vice-president Susan Hertel. “When properly enforced, I have seen larger cities see a drastic decrease in stray cats and a very high percentage of lost animals find their way home very quickly.”

Presently, the Shelter has seven mother cats nursing a total of 33 kittens under the age of approximately four weeks old.

“One kitten, about five weeks old, was found alone in someone’s backyard and brought in to the shelter, in addition to the 30 other adoptable cats in care,” said Hertel. “This is a total of 71 cats that would otherwise be homeless–and are likely to either suffer and die or survive to continue to breed and increase the stray cat population.”

She reiterated the importance of having animals spayed or neutered.

Spaying or neutering your pets not only guards them against certain health risks, but it can also prevent some behaviour problems, curb roaming tendencies and prevent pet overpopulation.

“We are here to help homeless cats, but rescues cannot keep up to the ever-increasing numbers. We need pet owners’ help,” she said. “If cats are

kept at home, have permanent identification to return them home quickly if they happen to escape and are spayed or neutered, it would go a long way to making our job more manageable. It would also, hopefully, allow for space to take in cats who legitimately need to be rehomed. As it stands, with so many free kittens available, it is hard to find permanent homes for cats in rescues and shelters.”

Camrose and Area Animal Shelter encourages anyone looking to adopt a cat/kitten to drop by the Shelter during open hours on Tuesday, 10 a.m. until noon, Thursday 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. until noon. Speak to one of the volunteers and have a look at one of the many adorable furry friends that need a forever home, or come to the Shelter on June 23 from 2 until 5 p.m. for a barbecue and open house.

Run strictly on volunteers and donations, the Shelter is always looking for more volunteers, specifically cat care volunteers that are asked to commit to three shifts per month, for a minimum of six months whenever possible.

Hertel noted, “While all donations are appreciated, along with clumping clay litter, the shelter could use adult and kitten food which helps us keep the cats diet regular to avoid tummy upset.”

Volunteers are also needed for events and phone calls, as well as sewing/crocheting pet beds, bandanas and toys which are sold in our foyer and at event tables.

On June 13 at 7:30 p.m., the Camrose and Area Shelter will be holding the annual general meeting at the Shelter located at #8 4617-41 Street.

Reach into your pocket f Any phone number from Camrose and area...

There was a day when you probably had a telephone directory in your car and/or truck, boat or recreation vehicle. Perhaps you also had a phone book in your garage, kitchen, bedroom and office.

As the number of land lines gave way to a society with a cell phone per person, we watched the marketplace gravitate largely away from the need for printed phone books.

This, coupled with consumers’ need to source information on demand regardless of location, led us to create an electronic residential and business directory specific to the Camrose and area market. We called our easy-to-download, and easy-to-use, community app Camrose Now!

Camrose Now! is the electronic phone directory which doesn’t need to go to the recycling bin once per year. It’s a magnificent business sourcing tool for consumers who want to find and narrow down choices in law firms, retail stores, restaurants, the trades and all other types of businesses.

Our e-directory allows advertising listings and messages to change as circumstances change.

In the “old days” when an error was made in a printed phone ad (that wrong phone number, missing address or photo of a staff member no longer with your company) stayed visible until a new book was printed the next fall. With Camrose Now!, seasonal businesses (yard care, golf course operators, Christmas tree sales lots, etc.) are not held to a year-long contract! Businesses, regardless of size, can now advertise for only the time period that they can truly benefit. With Camrose Now!, change your message as you add or change your roster of services or product lines.

To become the product of choice in this market, we added an impressive number of features to Camrose Now! Our 7,000-plus user base, with a tap of a button, can: • Check the local weather (from two different service providers) • Get area road reports • Get local and international breaking news and sports stories

• Find out what’s happening today in the community • Watch for coming events • View real estate listings and open houses • Catch a new joke every day • Do crossword puzzles or play Sudoku • Read The Camrose Booster, The Country Booster or The Super Booster • Study flyers for great sale prices • See who is having a birthday • Read law enforcement reports • Search out career opportunities, • And much, much more…

If you haven’t checked us out lately, do so now!

We’ve made a multitude of user-friendly changes. cket

Daina Friend, formerly of Rosalind, competed at Calgary Comic Expo’s Master of cosplay competition two weeks ago and came away with the top prize of Best in Show.

Daina, along with her friend Lane Monteith, knew that the winners in Calgary would have a free trip to Toronto to compete against others in their division at Fan Expo Canada during labour day weekend later this year.

“What we didn’t realize was how big it was.

We thought we were representing all of western Canada. However, we later found out after doing some research that we are representing all of western North America,” said a surprised Daina. “Which is huge for us, as we’ve never won such a big prize and honour before. We are going to do our best to represent Edmonton and all of western North America.”

The winning costumes are of Maria Renard and Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

“To win a competition like this is surreal. After the competition ended, my boyfriend and I were still reeling days after. At first we thought, ‘Cool, this is pretty big, representing Western Canada.’ It hit us hard realizing that we were representing all of western North America. It’s been two weeks since the event and we’re thinking it was a dream.”

Although Daina won the event, judges gave advice on how to improve the costumes for the next level.

“Well, preparing for the event isn’t too hard. We’ve gotten feedback from the judges at the Expo as to what we can do to improve our costumes. We plan to take all of them into account to make them better,” shared Daina.

The pair of cosplay winners have options for the Toronto event. “We were

given the option to make new costumes or compete in the same ones with new additions. We plan to update the costumes we have as we both work full time and it is hard to work on a brand new costume without planning six months or so in advance,” explained Daina.

Selecting which character to play is the hardest part. “For choosing Maria, I was late to the game. We had three other friends who had costumes from the Castlevania Netflix series. Lane jumped on board at the start of January and I actually decided in February to join in,” confessed Daina. “I didn’t actually get a start on my costume until about mid-

March as I was finishing another costume for visiting my best friend. We choose these costumes because of their complexity and design.

We wanted something that would challenge us.”

It takes several hours just to plan costumes.

“There was drafting of patterns, planning on how to do certain pieces. Lane had never made such a large sewing project before, so this was a new experience for him. He would ask me what to do if he got stuck on a piece. We needed to choose fabrics that would compliment the characters and give them a bit more flare, opposed to using flat colors,” said Daina.

“For most of our fabrics,

we went with ones that had some sort of faint designs on them. For myself, I had planned on hand embroidering the details of the jacket. It took a week to do straight sewing, it looks great. We also added rhinestones for that little extra bling. It took Lane about four months to complete his costume and it took me one-and-a-half months.

And we’re not done yet!

There’s a lot more we want to add for Toronto.”

Daina, who sometimes returns to Camrose for the Anime Festival, enjoys the challenge of sewing costumes and playing fantasy roles. Her dedication earned her a trip to Toronto.

Letters to the Editor Music has charms..

The Booster’s front page photo of Camrose Community Band members two weeks ago reminded me of how many music opportunities we have in our district communities.

Every week in The Booster, I see notices of live musicians performing in bars and on stages. There are choirs and bands and music lessons so anyone who chooses has the opportunity to make music.

This is a gift. Music can express what’s beyond words. Research says music expands our brain capacity, increases language and math skills, relieves stress and enhances creativity. Creating music in a group helps us learn to cooperate, synchronize and harmonize (literally!) with others. And it’s fun.

The tradition of music in our community began with the early settlers. My mom told stories of growing up during the 1920s and 1930s. Everyone was poor. But people would gather in homes, and there was always a fiddle or an accordion or sometimes even a piano or organ. They’d have sing-songs, or push the furniture out of the way and dance. No matter how poor the community, there was always music.

Fast forward. I remember the Overture Concert series as a child in the 1950s. Each season, four or five professional touring musicians would show up to perform a concert. We sat on wooden stacking chairs in a school gym and got exposed to different forms of music than the usual country and pop. We heard opera arias and piano concertos. That expanded our horizons.

I still remember Maureen Forrester’s beautiful contralto voice. It was news to me that a woman with a low-pitched voice could be a professional musician. I still remember Beethoven’s 5th piano concerto. I didn’t know a piano could sound like that.

Fast forward more. In February this year, I saw Jesus Christ Superstar in Camrose—a rock opera with lots of technical and vocal challenges. I was simply blown away by the talent and skill of our local director, choreographer, actors, singers, dancers, orchestra musicians, set-makers, costume designers and sound/light people. We’re a musical community! (Relatives from Calgary were equally impressed by the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Royal marriage

The Royal Wedding is over. It was a great historical event. It was not made more significant by the endless comments of the self proclaimed experts.

Many of these comments

by American self important so called experts were off base.

The racial intolerance, which is still a central feature of American life and politics is not repeated elsewhere. Attempts to transport American racial problems and American history to Britain is off base.

Allegations of British involvement in the slave trade are overdrawn. Yes, in the very early days of the infamous trade,

British merchants were involved, but when by international agreement the traffic was to end in the early 1800s the Royal Navy enforced the ban and many British sailors died of tropical diseases, while their ships patrolled the tropical coasts of Africa to stop the transportation of Africans to the United States, which had banned the importation of slaves, but did not enforce the ban because of political influence from the Southern States.

Within the British territories, it was a local decision to allow or outlaw slavery. In the case of Canada during the first session of the first legislature of Upper Canada, Ontario, in 1791 a law was passed which declared that any slave brought into the colony became free. A similar law was passed in Lower Canada, Quebec in 1825.

The Atlantic colonies had received many freed slaves who had supported the British during the Revolution.

In 1834, an Act of the British Parliament outlawed slavery in the entire British Empire; 30 years before the United States fought a civil war to achieve the same result.

During the 1840s and later, Canada was the end of the underground railway and many blacks obtained freedom by crossing the Canadian border.

When they reached freedom, they knelt and kissed the soil of the Land of the Freedom Queen.

In 1787, while American slave owners speaking and writing about all men being created equal while 40 per cent of the population was held in slavery the highest judge in Britain, namely Lord Chief Justice Mansfield declared from the bench: “There can be no slavery in Britain. English air makes free.”

It is good that love has brought a lady of mixed race into the Royal Family but that family will carry on its role of representing the nation of Britain and of each to the 18 nations of which Queen Elizabeth is queen as well as the Commonwealth of 53 nations of which she is head.

Welcome Meghan, HRH Duchess of Sussex by gift of the Queen, but let’s not get carried away but carry on.

God Save the Queen.

Ron Williams, Camrose

In April, I was privileged to hear Requiem for the Living.

Did I say “hear?” Well, yes, I did hear the music but “hear” does not seem like a big enough word. It was more like a total body experience—being immersed in the sound of more than 100 voices plus orchestra, singing some of the most exquisite music I’ve ever heard.

The concert was a production of the choirs of Augustana Campus (including the community choir Camerata) in Camrose and Chorale St. Jean in Edmonton, accompanied by the Requiem Orchestra and conducted by John Wiebe.

It was a huge musical undertaking, especially considering all the singers were students or adults who love singing, but who are not professional musicians. It was also a huge collaborative project of two University of Alberta campus music directors who share a passion for pushing the boundaries of music.

Dan Forrest composed Requiem for the Living just a few years ago–it’s current. Requiem for the Living is structured similar to the requiem mass and reflects a human journey—grief, anger and struggle leading to epiphany, joy and ultimately peace. That such a concert and such a collaboration could be conceived and created in our community (and College St. Jean) and performed in Edmonton and in our local Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre with its magnificent acoustics—I could feel the ghost of my mother smiling!

In 1697 (you can look it up), William Congreve wrote, in a play called The Mourning Bride, “Music has Charms to soothe a savage Breast, to soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.” I haven’t bent any knotted oaks lately, but I think William Congreve was on to something.

Aren’t we privileged to have so many opportunities to hear and create music in our community? ***

GIBSON RUN

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Approximately 75 people participated in the Larry Gibson Memorial Fun Run for Special Olympics Camrose, raising almost $13,000 for local programs. Over 100 athletes participate year round in sport and nutrition programs. Gibson was a volunteer with Special Olympics Camrose who served on the affiliate and was instrumental in the start up of some of the current programs. Larry’s wife Rita and children Adam and Kirsten were on hand to share some good memories about Larry and participate in the run. Mayor Norm Mayer welcomed all participants and shared about Larry’s community service with many worthwhile organizations as well as Special Olympics Camrose.

Canada Day festivities planning being done

By Lori Larsen

This year’s Camrose Canada Day festivities to be held on Sunday, July 1, promise all kinds of fun and excitement with a theme celebrating the 100th anniversary of the end of First World War and the 100th anniversary of Mental Health in Canada.

Anyone interested in getting involved with or have any ideas regarding the specific themes for this year’s celebration are encouraged to phone 780672-9949.

The Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club will once again be hosting a

breakfast at the Fieldhouse from 8 until 11 a.m.

Following the breakfast will be the opening ceremonies from 11 a.m. until noon and will incorporate this year’s themes.

After the opening ceremonies, the day will continue with games and activities sure to amuse children and adults alike including the Mirror Lake Express Train that will be offering attendees an appreciated rest with a little toot-toot tour.

The stage will host a variety of entertainment until approximately 10:30 p.m.

There will be guided

and self-guided tours of the Camrose and District Centennial Museum and grounds, along with the amazing stationary displays that will also incorporate this year’s theme.

Food is always a highlight at Canada Day and this year promises attendees an assortment of concessions to fuel their appetite, not to mention the giant Canada Day cake which is always a crowd pleaser.

The Viking group (role players) will once again be entertaining guests with their action-packed fight demonstrations.

“We are hoping to bring

in a few new surprises this year too,” said Camrose arts director Jane CherryLemire.

The day will end with a bang with the highly anticipated fireworks display, held as soon as the skies are dark enough.

“The City of Camrose gives a great deal of support to this event,” said CherryLemire. “But we are always looking for volunteers and welcome any donations or contributions and we will offer tax receipts for donations over $20.

“We have already put in our order for good weather too,” laughed CherryLemire.

For more information about the Canada Day celebrations, telephone 780672-9949.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, May 29, 2018 – Page 11

The upcoming entertainment line-up at the Jeanne and Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre will be announced during a Season Launch celebration on Thursday, June 14 at 7 p.m.

Stop by to sneak a peek at upcoming shows by watching the promotional video and listening to a free concert. You can also receive a tour of the facility and enjoy cake and coffee. Those attending the launch have the first opportunity to purchase season tickets and pick packages.

“The knockout hit guest artist in last season’s Cabaret Series was Bernard Quilala, who appeared with Krystle Dos Santos,” said Lougheed Centre general manager Nick Beach. “He will be performing a free concert at our launch.”

He has been a professional singer and performer since competing on the second season of Canadian Idol.

Since then, he has opened for Michael Bolton, Foreigner and Blue Rodeo.

The Lougheed Centre still has four series for the 2018-19 season. The Shuman Insurance Presentation Series features 12 shows. The Fountain Tire Family Series has three performances for children of all ages. The Re/Max Classical Series has five concerts. The Central Agencies Cabaret Series in the Mayer Family Community Hall will have four shows. Several special presentations are in place and a few more may be added throughout the year.

If you want a sneak peek at the upcoming shows, check out the Lougheed Centre’s booth during Jaywalkers’ Jamboree. “The Season Launch is an opportunity to

7 p.m. – Novelty Showcase and Dance • Friday, Admission by donation. No entry fee for fiddlers.

A farce by Tom Smith Performances at the Bailey Theatre will be October 18, 19, 20 and 25, 26, 27

Proceeds from the play will be donated to the Bailey Theatre Society see clips from all of the shows.

Our pick six package was so popular in the past, we have decided to offer a pick 10 package as well,” said Nick.

Most of the start times have changed from 8 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. to allow patrons to get home earlier. “Some of the other theatres changed to earlier start times and we thought it would be good to allow out-of-town guests to get out a little sooner,” added Nick.

“However, our first show of the year will be Truck Stop, a free outdoor circus presentation that will be held near the Camrose Recreation Centre at 8:30 p.m. The reason is that the light show that goes with it is just that much better when it is darker out.”

The Truck Stop show consists of five performers and a musician that take you on a camping trip across Canada.

The high quality circus-style act will be on Saturday, Aug. 11.

Lisa Brokop and her Legendary Ladies of Country will open the presentation series on Saturday, Sept. 29.

The first music in the classical series will be Vaughn Williams London Symphony and the Orchestra Borealis show on Sunday, Oct. 21.

As noted, the first in the cabaret series will be Bernard Quilala and the Q-Tones. He will be back to perform a full concert on Friday, Oct. 12.

Beach will be on stage to talk about why he selected certain acts to bring to Camrose.

“I feel very passionate about who we picked and why we think it is important to bring these people to Camrose. People have asked to hear it from me and what went into the thought process.”

Bringing in good acts that normally only stop in Edmonton or Calgary has been the key to the Lougheed Centre’s success. Attending the Season Launch allows you to see the shows for the year and have first choice of selecting seats for most shows.

Some of the upcoming acts include the Sass Jordan, Barra MacNeils, Golden Girls, Ballet Jorgen’s Coppelia, Nathan Berg and the Celtic Tenors.

Cultural field trip builds better understanding

By Lori Larsen

Our Lady Mount Pleasant School leadership students and a few Grade 8 volunteers were able to experience firsthand the influences culture has on people during a field trip to Maskwacis Cultural College (MCC) in Wetaskiwin, on May 4.

The trip was part of a project initiated by OLMP teacher Kristy Smith to meet the new teacher quality standards (TQS), leadership quality standards (LQS) and superintendent quality standards (SQS) which recently laid out the new, as of Sept. 1, qualifications and duties of the teaching profession.

“We are also in the process of designing a new curriculum in Alberta,” added Smith. “I am on the curriculum review committee in the province and was honoured to be a part of the first day of validation where I was given a first look at the draft copy of the new curriculum for grades K to 4.

“We are moving from a ‘knowledge skills and attitudes’ curriculum to a concept-based curriculum that focuses on higher level thinking with a more holistic approach. Each subject and grade level will have an indigenous component and our new TQS and LQS have indigenous components as well.”

Thus far, the field trips have included a visit to Ermineskin Jr./Sr. High School and the MCC. “I think the most important first step people can take in understanding why these changes are important is participating in the blanket exercise.

This gives participants an

interactive understanding of why all this work is very important.”

Student experience

OLMP Grade 12 leadership student Courtney Hertel and Grade 8 volunteers Lauren Daley and Keldon Beauregard-Wiebe spoke about the experience they had during the MCC trip.

“The leadership students were given this experience to visit the MCC to learn more about and understand more of aboriginal (indigenous) culture,” said Courtney Keldon said, “There was lots of stuff I already knew because of my family (aboriginal background), but I did learn how many actual nations there are in Canada and that some are not even recognized by the government.”

Lauren remarked that a large part of the experience was learning about the

culture but also the history and residential schools.

“The elder spoke about his experience throughout his life as an aboriginal man and growing up and going through some things that were kind of horrible.

“I have it pretty easy so it was important to hear how other people (cultures) go through bad things. It gave me a new perspective on the world,” said Lauren, adding people, including herself, hear stories about what the aboriginal culture is like, often racist, so this was an opportunity to experience the culture for herself and learn from the experience.

Two weeks prior to the field trip to MCC, the students visited Ermineskin School. “While we were there, we experienced hoop dancing,” smiled Lauren.

“It was nice to see the kind of energy they had in that school compared to our

school. It was like they had more things that reflected their cultural background such as pictures and art and they really focused on their eduction and learning about their culture.”

Courtney indicated coming from an African American background to Canada then being able to experience the aboriginal culture has given her a rounded cultural experience.

Keldon noted that during the visit at MCC, the students were told about the aboriginal focus on balance in a person’s life including, physical, spiritual and educational. “Lots of people focus on the cores which we need later in life, but in Maskwacis they focus on all areas.”

Message forward

When asked what message they would take forward, the students echoed each other’s sentiments.

As a Grade 12 student graduating this year, Courtney shared her thoughts. “Being able to walk in someone else’s shoes for a day, I think that in today’s day and age we have all these things and we forget about other cultures that don’t have those privileges and are left in the dust. I think learning about their culture and history and what happened in the past is able to bring reality to others and inform them more.”

From a younger perspective, Lauren added, “When you learn it younger, you will take it with you through your entire life. It is something that makes me realize my privileged problems aren’t the end of the world.”

Keldon also said, “As a younger generation learning this, we pass down the stories and bring back the culture so it won’t die out and others can experience it themselves and not just hear stories. It is important to not let the stories die, not to forget them. If we forget them, people will not know the actual history and what happened.”

The final message from these three intuitive students was that what we hear or read or see is not always a true picture, so it is important to experience the truth for yourself.

OLMP leadership students are tentatively planning a community/parent blanket exercise for an evening in June.

Appreciating the work and assisting child care workers

By Lori Larsen

As a parent, one of the most difficult decisions is to entrust your young child with care providers, but many work-outside-thehome parents do it every day.

In a show of thanks, Camrose and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition held an evening of appreciation on April 18 for Camrose and area child care workers and support staff.

“As a coalition, when we are spreading the news about what early childhood development is and why it is so important, we also have to start looking at the people who teach it and start bringing public awareness to them,” said Camrose and Area Early Childhood Development Coalition coordinator Jolene Doig.

“We held this appreciation night as a thank you to the childcare workers.”

The evening hosted 62

attendees, from Camrose and area, consisting of day home providers, out-ofschool care workers, people working as educational assistants in preschool and some members of Camrose and District Boys and Girls Club.

“We hosted the supper, but then also did a Simple Connections Stronger Families presentation in order to provide the attendees with resources.”

Doig said all attendees at the April 24 event were given a tool kit and each centre was given a puzzle set to take back with them to help teach families that they work with the information provided at the event.

“We decided to start hosting events and putting together resources for early childhood educators because what we have often heard in the field of child care is that the workers don’t feel appreciated because it is not a really

well-known or celebrated field,” explained Doig. “In fact, a lot of the people who work in early childhood have post-secondary education in child develop-

ment, mental development and health development.

Unfortunately, they don’t get that recognition and because of that, there is a lot of turnover in staff.”

As a group, the coalition wants to continue emphasizing the importance of the people working with children, specifically birth to six years old. “We want them to know how fundamental they are in building successful pillars of early childhood.”

The coalition is a group of professionals, parents and community workers from Camrose and the area that entails Tofield, Bashaw, Bawlf, Hay Lakes and everywhere in between those areas.

“We meet on a quarterly basis to discuss issues and trends in early childhood from zero to six years of age that are going on in our communities and brainstorm around that information.”

Doig said that every

couple of years the coalition is supplied with information from Alberta Education about how children entering kindergarten, in the coalition’s area, are doing in five selected areas of development. “We use that information to build resources and events to let families and professionals know, then we can try to offer services to help in the areas that children in our areas are behind in, to help them get into kindergarten.”

The coalition plans to host another event this year and is also planning a Simple Connections Stronger Families event in the early part of the fall of this year.

For more information on the coalition or the Simple Connections Stronger Families initiative, contact Jolene Doig at email j.doig@camrosefrc.com or by telephone at 780-672-0141.

Senior Chat

Gardening is a lifetime joy Camrose Seniors Coalition Guest Column by Glenys Smith (retired RN), Camrose Heritage Railway Station

Spring came late this year due to a cold April, but with May it has finally arrived.

If you are a senior you may remember warm April days when spring crocuses covered the pastures.

We may not be able to enjoy the wonderful wildflowers that were so profuse when we were children, but we can enjoy gardening and planting many native plants no matter how small our space may be.

The right perennial planted in the right place, soil conditions and light–such as Sunflowers, Liatris (Blazing Star), Ber-

gamot (Monarda). Harebell, Yarrow, Brown Eyed Susan (Gallardia) and Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia)—can be easily grown.

As a senior, you may feel a medical condition or physical disability restricts or prevents you from taking part in gardening, but adaptations can be made. Gardening is an enjoyable form of exercise and provides many health and therapeutic benefits.

Recent research has shown that we have an increase in Serotonin, a neurotransmitter that makes us feel good when we are in touch with nature and the soil.

Gardening increases

physical mobility and flexibility, encourages use of motor skills, improves endurance and strength, reduces stress, promotes relaxation and helps prevent diseases such as Osteoporosis. Despite some health considerations for seniors, a good plan of action can eliminate problems. Our skin is more fragile, so sunburn and bruises may result.

Apply sunscreen frequently and wear protective shoes, a sun hat, light protective clothing and gardening gloves that will cover as much skin surface as possible. Warm up before gardening, which may just be a walk around your garden area.

Make a plan and create a safe, accessible and pleasant space where ever you happen to live. You may only have a bright window that will support plant growth. Containers, raised beds or vertical planting on a trellis or wall make gardening accessible for planting and harvesting.

Retractable hanging baskets, wheelbarrows and containers on castors make it easier to move plants from one area to another. Individualized containers used for planting can be an object that was dear to you such as an old jug or ceramic container.

Gardening tools can be adapted by using foam, tape or plastic tubing to modify existing tools for a better grip.

Adaptive tools can also be purchased. Safely store tools so they are not a source of injury.

Ensure your path to the garden is flat and non-slip. Keep hydrated and pace yourself and, if very warm, take time out in the shade.

The gardens at the Camrose Heritage Railway Station can be visited any time or day of the week even when it is closed. There are quiet places to sit, read, and watch the flowers or to socialize with others over tea or a picnic.

There are places on the platform to watch the train come and go, events to attend and volunteer opportunities.

Volunteering in the gardens with a grandchild or adopting a garden or part of a garden means it is not overtaxing and everyone is a winner.

Self-directed or guided tours can be arranged. The gardens change throughout the summer with a prime time being mid-July. Spring bulbs will soon be poking out their heads. For further suggestions on how you can make a personalized gardening plan visit the labelled flower beds at the Station for ideas or attend our Plant Sale the end of June and speak to me (Glenys) personally.

The Camrose Heritage Railway Station telephone number is 780-672-3099. For information about Camrose Seniors Coalition, call Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) at 780-6720141 and ask for Maria or Margaret H.

More than just a senior centre

By Lori Larsen

With a common interest to get the most out of life, members of the Camrose and District Senior Centre Society are never at a loss for things to do.

Sharing in social, cultural and recreational activities with other age groups and other seniors across the province, the Senior Centre society boasts a variety of clubs and activities.

Currently there are 20 different clubs representing a host of interests under the umbrella of the organization.

Different musicians gather once a month to share their musical talents.

Line and square dancers gather weekly and once a month the centre plays host to social dancers.

Card playing clubs come together weekly and hold monthly tournaments that attract card players from all over the province.

If you enjoy stretching your vocal cords, once a week singers join together in making beautiful music.

Table tennis is held twice weekly and offers a competitive workout and the pool players are at the tables shooting a game on a daily basis.

Floor curlers practice their skills twice a week year round with a number of tournaments that bring

in participants from all over north central Alberta, throughout the year.

For the more competitive, there is the Alberta 55 Plus Games, which were just hosted in Camrose on May 18 to 20.

All the tournaments and dances bring visitors to Camrose who are given an opportunity to enjoy the many services and facilities of the city.

For more information on the Senior Centre telephone 780-672-7022, email at camsrosoc@telus.net or come down for a visit to the Mirror Lake Centre located at 5415-49 Avenue, office hours from 10 a.m. until noon.

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

Pre-planning also ensures your final arrangements will be carried out according to your exact wishes, in a cost-sensitive manner. Call us today for more information about advance funeral planning or to arrange a no-obligation consultation with one of our directors.

Extending the reach of awareness against elder abuse

By Lori Larsen

If a gut feeling has you uneasy about the way you are being treated by others or the way an aging person in your life is being treated, reaching out for help can make the difference in saving yourself or someone else from abuse.

The Elder Safe Battle River (ESBR)—Connecting Community is a community-based elder abuse awareness project funded, in part, by the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program, hosted by the Family Violence Action Society. It was created to assist in identifying, reporting and empowering people to respond appropriately when they feel seniors may be at risk.

The ultimate mission of the Elder Safe Battle River project, is to engage and equip caring community members to stop elder abuse.

By offering presentations, printed material and special events, the Elder Safe Battle River project intends to raise community awareness about the issue of elder abuse and provide information on resources for help.

“The program came out of Ontario, and now we are using it across Alberta,” said Shannon Stolee, Elder Safe Battle River, Camrose and Wetaskiwin Counties coordinator. “It is a great program that is all about community connections. If someone realizes this isn’t right (behaviour that may constitute elder abuse), something is off here, then we hopefully can provide them with the tools as to who they can contact and who they can talk to.”

The presentation and subsequent material entitled “It’s Not Right” is designed for anyone or any organization within the community. “I think it is important to get this out in front of a lot of different types of people, such as bank employees, hair stylists, pharmacists, doctors, police officers, anyone

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Camrose and District Support Services Family Violence Action Society program director Sheralyn Dobos, Elder Safe Battle River project coordinator Shannon Stolee and volunteer Lee Kroeger discuss the many resources available to the community regarding elder abuse.

who may be aware abuse may be happening,” noted Stolee.

Camrose Family Violence Action Society program director Sheralyn Dobos said that speaking out about what may be perceived as elder abuse is often a hurdle for many people, including friends and family. “They may feel like it is none of their business. But if people understand how to ask caring questions or make caring observations, that can open the door and make it safe for people to express a desire for help or support.”

Elder Safe Battle River volunteer Lee Kroeger noted that family members caring for elders may also be struggling with their own issues such as loss of employment, illness or addictions and therefore become defensive.

“The aging parent may think their child is hurting and so it becomes difficult for an aging parent to admit they may be the victim of elder abuse and the child or caregiver may not even see it as abuse.”

Elder abuse can come in many forms such as bullying, physical, emotional, sexual, financial, medical, spiritual or cultural abuse and neglect.

Kroeger shared her own heart-wrenching story of a dear elder family member who suffered greatly at the hands of an abusive caregiver who was unrelated to the family. “I am getting out (as a volunteer) because we had a dreadful situation of this in our family. Even when you have a good, loving family, it just sneaks up.”

Through the strain of emotion, Lee related the isolation, neglect and fear this elder family member was subjected to and the subsequent affect that this elder abuse had on her and her extended family. “We have been fighting with this for years and years,” said Lee in speaking of the issue of elder abuse. “When this happened to our family, nobody knew where to go, there was nothing so to speak. There were certainly no resources.”

Lee, along with oth-

ers involved in Elder Safe Battle River, knows there is a burning need for these types of initiatives. “I think we are at a tipping point because there are all the baby boomers that are not going to go quietly into the night, that are more aware, but there is still a significant portion who are not.

I think the baby boomers will affect some change.”

Within Camrose, the Elder Safe Battle River project has engaged representatives from various organizations to sit on the steering committee including Camrose Women’s Shelter, Camrose Police Service, Camrose and District Victims Services, Camrose and District Primary Care Network, Camrose and District Support Services Rural Community Programs and Family Violence Action Society and St. Mary’s Hospital.

“All of these agencies are very engaged in this idea of a collaborative community response. We have been working on it from the agency aspect for a couple of years through another

grant,” said Dobos. “This grant gives us the opportunity to now go out and let the general public know that there are places you can call if you are concerned and get some support.”

This project offers options and opens doors to the person who may be experiencing abuse, whether they are aware of it or not, and creates an awareness that it is not acceptable.

“Ultimately, it is important for people to know that if an older person is of sound mind and able to make their own decisions, do not have a power of attorney or/and an agent for their personal directive enacted, that it is ultimately their choice,” explained Dobos. “People do have a right to live at risk if they so choose. Sometimes people in those circumstances don’t realize there are options, that there is support. Sometimes they just need to know somebody cares and somebody else doesn’t feel like it is right and that gives them permission to reach out for help and know that no one would swoop in and tell them they have to leave their home or change things if they do not want to change.”

Stolee indicated that the Elder Safe Battle River project has begun collecting volunteers for the project and training will be made available to anyone who would like to give presentations.

“We are hoping we can start making a big difference,” concluded Stolee.

Sadly, we are saying goodbye to Jordan who has been with us for two seasons as she is going to be focusing on her career in the coming year. Madeline, who has been with us as well for two seasons, is also enrolled in a university out east. We wish them both great success and many thanks for their commitment and leadership to our swimmers.

In December, we travelled to Edmonton to perform with the NOVA Synchro club for a combined Christmas water show. At the beginning of April, we showcased the Cygnets at the Synchro Alberta Recreational Event in Red Deer.

We were very happy with the experience gained from each of these events. We also completed our Star Testing through Synchro Alberta.

Albers built his truck from multiple styles

By Murray Green

Jackie Albers of Spring Lake liked several years of Chevrolet trucks so much that he built a combination of the best features and rolled them into one fine looking truck.

“My truck is a Heinz ’57. The body, frame and box is from a 1978. The cab and front fenders are from a 1986 and the engine is from a 1990,” explained Jackie. “I chose 1986 because that is the year I graduated.”

All 1978 models featured flatter dash trim panels, black on the lower two trims and aluminumlook on the fancier two.

Base models received the flatter stainless hubcaps, and Stepsides got new squared-off taillights with built-in backup lights and side markers, while the rear fenders were smoothed out where the old side markers were.

Fuel doors were added on models equipped with a bed to hide the previously exposed fuel caps.

“I built it like that because that is what parts were freely available to me. I painted it safety yellow with paint and it took four coats to cover the green primer.”

The 1986-87 trucks were the last of an era.

For the 1987 model year, the last model year for the conventional cab pickups, the Rounded-Line C/KSeries were renamed the R/V-Series.

“The truck came available to me and I couldn’t afford a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle,” said Jackie on his choice of vehicle to fix up.”

In 1990, the Sport was re-introduced and carried on until 1994 along with the 454SS. GMC models could now be optioned with the Sport appearance package with their own unique decals and color combinations. The exterior mirrors became solid, low-profile aerodynamic manual units color matched to the body color.

“I built the motor for a friend. When his truck burned, I took the 350

SPECIAL TRUCK

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Jackie Albers built his 1978, 1986 and 1990 Chevrolet truck to enjoy off the farm and at car shows such as the show earlier this month in Bawlf. He has combined the best of all of the models to create his favourite vehicle.

Vortec motor for myself.

All GM motors are similar so that is what makes them nice to work on.”

The C/K was Chevrolet and GMC’s full-size pickup truck line from 1960 until 2000 in the United States and Canada.

“I started the truck two years ago because I wanted to go to car shows and use it to get ice cream. It is a Sunday driver and for going to car shows,” said Jackie.

The 350 cu in, with a 3.48-inch (88.39 mm) stroke, first appeared as a high-performance L-48 option for the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro.

One year later it was made available in the Chevrolet Nova, and finally in 1969 the rest of the Chevrolet line could be ordered with a 350. As had been the case with earlier versions of the small-block, the 350 was

available in the Beaumont sold by Pontiac Canada, which unlike its US counterparts, used Chevrolet chassis and drivelines.

“I like to go to car shows and I plan to take this truck to Camrose, Three Hills and Tofield.”

Chevrolet first used the bowtie emblem logo in 1914 on the H series models (Royal Mail and Baby Grand) and The L Series Model (Light Six).

Some people claim that the design was a stylized Swiss cross, in tribute to the homeland of Louis Chevrolet’s parents.

“When I was younger I had a 1982 with a big block engine. I wanted to build something like it, but with a small block,” he said.

“I put in an after market stereo that is comparable to any teenager stereo.”

Jackie liked to race

cars when he was younger.

“I started with a frame up restoration. I’m a gear head at heart and I used

to run in races, but with a family it just got to be too much running around.”

Volleyball Vikings garner silver medals at nationals

By Murray Green

Members of the Battle River Vikings U15 girls volleyball team came back from nationals with silver medals around their necks.

After winning provincials, the local club team attended the 2018 Volleyball Canada Nationals at the Edmonton Expo Centre. It was a six-day tournament featuring 864 club teams from across the country with over 12,500 players participating. In total, about 3,184 matches were played on 55 courts under one roof.

In the first pool of Division 3 at nationals, Camrose played an Alberta team and two BC clubs. One BC team forced the match into three games, but the other two matches went two straight games to give the Vikings first place.

“We were looking at nationals as a chance to play different teams and we were excited to play teams from other provinces,” said coach Sue Nelson. “The more out-of-provinces we played the better. We wanted the girls to gain valuable national experience and broaden their scope of the game. It didn’t make them nervous, they were really looking forward to it. The huge event, facility and amount of players was overwhelming at first, but

SILVER VIKINGS

Submitted The Battle River U15 girls volleyball Vikings collected silver medals at nationals in Edmonton on May 17 to 20. Members of the team include, back row: from left, coach Sue Nelson, assistant coach Keely Blake, Grayce Flemming, Kailyn Horon, Mya Van Brabant and assistant coach Megan Sly. Front row from left, Mak Robbins, Kelsey Thomas, Shay Sorken and Halle Weinkauf. Missing is Alana Pfeffer.

not the level of volleyball.

They were ready for it. The girls are well focused, so the different building and floor didn’t change the way they played.”

On day two the teams were put into new pools of teams. By winning their pool, Camrose advanced to a higher level.

“We went into a power pool with another first place team and two second place teams. Suddenly, the

competition just got higher,” said coach Nelson.

“Our players were excited because they wanted to see how far they could go.

We played a Manitoba team and two Alberta teams.”

One of the Alberta teams was a team they beat earlier in the season. They knew they could win, but couldn’t take them lightly.”

All three matches were won by Camrose in two straight games. “The girls

were happy to play Manitoba and it was another positive day for us. This group of girls has raised their level of play to meet or exceed their opposition all year. The games against Manitoba were no different.

Earlier in the year, we put the girls in a couple of U16 tournaments to get used to the stronger and tougher teams. It prepared them for the provincials and nationals. Even in practice, we had high school girls come in and play against them.

It gave them confidence to play taller and older players.”

Then the team moved to quarter-finals. “It was playoff time. We were in the top eight and matched against Newfoundland. We were really looking forward to playing an east coast team. The coach and players were great and it was a fun experience. They were a good team and it went to three games.”

The victory put the Vikings into the semifinals. The game determined which teams would play for gold medals. They faced Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, another new province to play against.

“Our girls won two straight, so it was great to win and good to play another out-of-province team. This put us into the

gold medal match against Calgary, a strong team all year,” said coach Nelson.

The Calgary Rebels were in a division higher throughout the season.

“They were a strong team, we lost the first game and it wasn’t close. We made adjustments and one of the players commented it’s not over until the third game is over. We rallied to win 27-25 to force a deciding game.”

Both teams were playing well and the rallies seemed to get longer. “It was fun volleyball to watch.

We couldn’t ask anything more from our players, they played well. It could have gone either way and Calgary won by three points.”

To medal in both provincials and nationals takes a great amount of focus. “The girls were stellar and never quit. This was the first year the girls went to provincials and nationals and to play so well at that level of competition was a real tribute to their drive, dedication and focus.”

In the end, it was two Alberta teams going for gold. “It shows how strong Alberta Volleyball is. The Vikings are made up of players from Camrose, Bawlf, Daysland and Sedgewick schools.

Echo Nebraska set for CD launch in Camrose

Terrific location near U of A Augustana College, terrific trails and park, etc.

Continued from page 11

“We started the band in 2014 and the name came from a combination of two words. Devon (fellow band member) was into the word echo at the time and I just finished watching the movie Nebraska. I thought it would be cool to name a band after a location. We just combined the two words,” explained Andy Schichter of the band.

The band’s first single, “Hey, Allison” quickly gained a reputation of combining soul-strung acoustic songs and subtle shades of Americana for the Vancouver group.

“We wanted the release to be at a gorgeous theatre and not just some pub,” laughed Andy. “It should be good sound in there and I’ve seen pictures of the Bailey and it looks fantastic.”

Within a week of the band’s first launch, CBC Music added the video to their list of Best New Music Videos. Since then, Echo Nebraska has extensively toured Canada, landing in showcases such as BreakOut West 2016 in Regina, SK and Canadian Music Week 2017 in Toronto, ON. Echo Nebraska’s first fulllength album will be released in conjunction with the show at the Bailey Theatre.

“We released a CD in 2015 and then just toured the last two years. It just happened that we are launching the new CD in Camrose. We are starting a whole new tour and featuring music from the new release. We worked the tour around the Camrose show and CD release,” shared Andy.

“I heard it was during Jaywalkers’ Jamboree, so I hope people want to see a show after a bit of shopping and going on rides.”

The band features an Indie folk rock sound that is appealing to audiences. “With this record we went a little more mainstream. We have a little more of a commercial sound this time than what we were doing before. We moved towards more of a folk-pop or folk-rock sound with positive lyrics and more melodies.

“We wanted more captivating songs and made a conscience effort to perform songs that everyone can enjoy of all ages,” said Andy. “We want to gain more of a following with a younger crowd and college aged listeners. More of a family oriented show. It reflects the members as well.

We added Carla, our fiddle player, and it has changed our sound to more folk than what it was. We are always

Fire Department receives two awards

By Bruce Hinkley, MLA Wetaskiwin-Camrose

Congratulations to Alan Majeski and Randy Haugen, captains of the Camrose Fire Department, for receiving the 2018 Fire Services Exemplary Service Medal for their dedication and commitment to the safety, education, health, welfare of people and protection of property for the residents of Camrose and surrounding areas.

Congratulations to the new University of Alberta Senate appointees from Camrose: Bill Sears, Cathy Mackenzie and Ellen Parker! We all offer our sincere gratitude to you for offering to serve in this important capacity.

Congratulations to the Wetaskiwin Regional Public Schools for their Innovations in First Nations Education grant of $913,812 to help and support Indigenous achievement in language arts and math, to increase graduations rates, to assist in the transition to postsecondary education and into the workplace.

Our government is extending the Classroom Improvement Fund (CIF) ($77 million) for the upcoming school year. The CIF funds will enable school boards to add more than 450 teachers and support staff and will ensure better supports and a better learning environment for students. Funding is per capita based.

Battle River Public ($790,000), Elk Island Catholic ($800,000), St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic ($544,000), Wetaskiwin Regional Public ($477,400).

With so much talk about pipelines it is good that diversification of our green energies continues. The carbon levy continues to help Albertans with job creation and carbon footprint reduction. Trevor Tombe’s (economist at the University of Calgary) has also shown it has not killed Alberta’s economy.

This is the future that according to Bernstein Research “big oil companies” are also investing in renewables acquisitions over the past five years to over $3 billion (mostly solar but also wind). Growing investments in renewables energy technologies across the globe is aided by the falling cost of the technology (think declining costs of computers, cell phones…).

Jackie Forrest of ARC Energy Research Institute is predicting more growth in renewables because it is competitive and it does not need government subsidies to justify these projects moving forward. She notes generation costs have come down equivalent or less than natural gas.

Our government is committed to making life better for Indigenous people by ensuring they have a voice in decisions that affect their lives and that they are full participants in all aspects of Alberta’s economy and society. Our Climate Leadership Plan is helping Indigenous communities reduce green house gas emissions, reduce their energy costs and create jobs.

All the Maskwacis Cree Nations will become more energy efficient through support from the seven programs (available online). Almost $1 million has been committed to feasibility studies, training and employment, assessments and installations. Interestingly, the $2,000 per month that the Montana Cree Nations is saving with solar panels on their administration building enables some $24,000 per year to be used for other purposes such as roads and housing.

Service Alberta’s consumer protection bill, Bill 14, which I am co-sponsoring, has had second reading.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, May 29, 2018 – Page 25

Margaret Louise Metzker March 12, 1938 ~ May 18, 2018 Margaret Louise Metzker was born on March 12, 1938 to Irven and Alice Budd in Rimbey, Alberta. She was the sixth child in a family of seven children. Her parents moved to the Bittern Lake area around 1939 and this area became her home.

On June 28, 1957, she married the love of her life Walter Metzker. They made their home on the farm by Bittern Lake where he still resides. Margaret and Walter had three children, Terry, Cindy, and Ken. Margaret had a great love for her family and always generously gave everything she had to them, never asking for anything in return. She was compassionate, kind and caring and when neighbors, family or friends came over, she always had the coffee pot on and some baking to put on the table. She would spend endless hours visiting and chatting with them.

After her children were in school, Margaret worked for many years at the Hay Lakes grocery store. She will be remembered by the many people who she served during those years in the Hay Lakes community.

We will remember Margaret for her wonderful sense of humor and the sparkle in her eyes right up to the end.

Margaret will be forever loved and remembered by her husband Walter of 61 years; her children Terry Paul (Gord) of Millwoods, Cindy Hansen of Hay Lakes and Ken (Laureen) Metzker of Gwynne; ten grandchildren Shauna, Jason, Bradley, Matthew, Heather, Luke, Mark, Brittney, Morgan and Tyson; ten greatgrandchildren; brothers Clifford Budd of Ponoka and Gordon (Elinor) Budd of Wetaskiwin; sister Ellen Christiansen of Spruce View; and sister-in-law Gertie Budd of Crossfield. She will also be lovingly remembered by Petra, Reinhard and Lena Kranich of Germany; as well as many other relatives and friends.

She was predeceased by her parents Irven and Alice Budd; and brothers Francis (died in infancy), Ralph, Russell and Martin.

Margaret will always hold a special spot in our hearts forever.

A Funeral Service was held on Wednesday May 23, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. from Our Savior Lutheran Church in Hay Lakes, Alberta.

If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions can be made to Our Savior Lutheran Church roof fund, cemetery fund or to S.T.A.R.S. air ambulance. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

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 colour 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.

NOTICE TO TENANTS OF AVENUE LIVING COMMUNITIES This notice is being issued in compliance with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (“OPIC”), Breach Notification Decision dated April 18, 2018, wherein OPIC found that a reasonable person would consider there to be a real risk of signicant harm to those individuals whose personal information was stored in lease application forms on the Avenue Living server between August and November 2016. The decision arises on the basis of an incident in which Avenue Living was contacted by Calgary Police Services (“CPS”) in November 2016 about a potential privacy breach by a then employee of Avenue Living. Through subsequent investigations, it was determined that the then employee of Avenue Living had accessed the organization’s server after hours for the purpose of taking tenant information for personal gain. Avenue Living fully cooperated with CPS in its investigation and implemented a number of safeguards and other measures following the investigation, including immediate termination of the rogue employee, retention of a third party to review the company’s information collection and retention policies, initiating new password protected privacy controls and related measures, notification of the loss to OPIC, and various other measures. Avenue Living does not know the specific personal information compromised, but to the best of its knowledge the breach relates to personal information and may include such information as: name, address, date of birth, email address and social insurance number. Should you think your personal information has been breached between August and November 2016, or have any questions regarding this matter, please contact your local police department or the Avenue Living Call Center at 1-855-247-1492.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Members of the Battle River Community Initiative committee for the Stollery Children’s Hospital fundraiser join together to thank Betty and Norm Mayer for their generous donation of $129,000 towards a new operating room at the Stollery. Pictured left to right back row are BRCI members Rod Ross, Brian Austrom, and Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation senior development officer, major giving, Cyndi Matthews.

By Lori Larsen

There is no anguish more concerning to a parent than the illness of their child. It is during those times that relief comes from the caring and knowledgable people of the Stollery Children’s Hospital and all its supporters.

On May 8, Betty and Norm Mayer generously donated $129,000 to the Stollery Children’s Hospital towards a new operating room (OR) and continual support to priority needs at the Stollery Children’s Hospital.

“From our point of view, we know people who have benefitted from the services of the Stollery and, while we haven’t had to rely on it ourselves, you never know when it may hit home,” said Norm Mayer on behalf of himself and wife Betty. “We felt over the last couple of years, we would do what we can for them.”

In 2015, the Battle River Community Initiative committee came together to raise awareness for the Stollery Children’s Hospital, specifically to raise funds to support the new OR unit.

The committee members have been touched by the Stollery in one way or another, having had a child or grandchild who needed the expert care of the Children’s Hospital.

After raising over

$500,000 to fund one of the OR suites, the new pediatric OR unit opened in the fall of 2016 and was named after the BRCI. “The Battle River Community Initiative is a wonderful example of the power of community giving,” said Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation vice-president Martin Schuldhaus.

“To see a passionate group of parents and grandparents, families and friends come together to raise half a million dollars to help fund one of the new operating rooms suites at the Stollery is benefitting kids and families from across Western Canada today and for generations to come.

“We hear from families all the time how fortunate they feel to have the Stollery in their backyard.

That’s why we’re investing in expanding the Stollery’s network of care to communities across northern Alberta and focusing on the most pressing needs of children and families like mental health and indigenous health,” added Schuldhaus.

As a result of the generosity of donors such as the Mayers and the dedication of BRCI committee and others, families can rest at ease knowing the much needed treatment and help is available for their children.
