Four more years for Olson Verlyn Olson and a supporter watch the results on election night.

By Dan Jensen

There's an old saying in the sports world that it doesn't matter how you win as long as you win. PC Verlyn Olson didn't receive quite as many votes as he did in the 2008 provincial election but he won anyway and will be going back to the legislature as the MLA for WetaskiwinCamrose. The final tally as of April 25 was 7,489 for Olson, 4,552, for Wildrose Party candidate Trevor Miller, 1,578, for NDP candidate Bruce Hinkley, 502 for Liberal candidate Owen Chubb and 192 for EverGreen candidate Mike Donnelly. Olson spent a relaxing day around Camrose on election day, taking his grandsons for ice cream and catching up on errands with his wife Mardell. The day before he had been in Wetaskiwin and in Red Deer, where he helped Mary Anne Jablonski with some of her door knocking. He watched the numbers come in at Bittern Lake, a com-

munity chosen for its proximity to both Camrose and Wetaskiwin. Olson had prepared himself for any outcome, favourable or not. "I wouldn't have been surprised if we had lost big and I wouldn't have been surprised if we had won bigger than we did, and I wouldn't have been surprised by a minority government either way," he said. "It was just very very hard to read, and everybody I talked to had the same feeling. I spoke with several of my colleagues in the days before and I think we were all feeling the same way." Olson said the uncertainty over what the final result might be motivated everyone on his campaign team to work hard. "I felt as though I had just a fantastic team that ran a great campaign, and I was going to have no regrets in terms of our effort." Olson said the message he heard loud and clear during the campaign was that the govern-

ment needs to listen to the people of Alberta and make sure the actions it takes reflect their priorities. "I think that Alison Redford's message has been that our party needs to reflect a modern Alberta, an Alberta that has changed a lot over recent years and continues to evolve by the day," he said. "I heard a discussion on CBC the other day where one of the commentators was saying that a third of the people who live in Alberta have only been here fifteen years or less. We need to reflect this changing Alberta while not giving up on the principles that made Alberta great in the first place." Olson believes it is important to take seriously the concerns of all Albertans. "I said in my little speech to those gathered at my election night party that I represent everybody in the WetaskiwinCamrose constituency, not just the people who voted for me," he said. "I take that part of it very seriously. I am happy to talk

to and listen to people with all points of view." While he was pleasantly surprised with his Party's showing in Calgary, Olson was disappointed with the loss of a few seats in a few southern rural areas, some of whom were close friends. "They were outstanding MLAs doing a great job," he said. "I think maybe they got caught up in the swirl of discontent." Olson is hopeful he will be invited by Premier Redford to be part of the new government cabinet as Justice Minister but knows that nothing is certain and that much could change. "I am looking forward to what the Premier has in mind in terms of forming the cabinet. "I am impressed with the new people who have been elected." Olson beat Liberal Keith Elliott by more than 6,000 votes in the 2008 election. LeRoy Johnson was the PC MLA from 1997 to 2008, while Ken Rostad was the PC MLA from 1986 to 1997. Gordon Stromberg was the MLA from 1971 to 1986.

Griffiths wins fourth term By Dan Jensen

Doug Griffiths was able to do some relaxing at home with his family last week following a whirlwind campaign and an election in which he was able to hold onto his seat as the PC representative for Battle River - Wainwright. "My wife and I have been taking the chance to get caught up on things," said Griffiths. "We've had a busy time of late not only with this campaign but the leadership campaign before it." Griffiths received 7,205 of the 15,423 votes cast (44 per cent), 495 more than Wildrose Party candidate Dave Nelson, who finished second with 6,710 votes. NDP candidate Terry Zawalski was third with 775, Liberal Party candidate Amber Greenleese fourth with 469 and Alberta Party candidate Midge Lambert fifth with 265. Griffiths was feeling confident after seeing the first few returns. "We had a very slight lead to begin with of 70 to eighty votes and projected that once it was over we would finish about 500 ahead," he said. "Typically the first few polls are pretty reflective of the general consensus." The win was the fourth in a row for Griffiths, who topped the Battle River Wainwright polls in a byelection in 2002 and general elections in 2004 and 2008 with 44.6, 65 and 79 per cent of the vote respectively. "I would say this one was the most satisfying," he said. "It was a close race: people were talking about the different issues, unlike the case four years ago when everyone was discussing the show The Week The Women Went and no one seemed to have any interest in the campaign. There were some very stark differences in this one between the parties, and people were really impassioned about what the future of Alberta would look like." Continued on page 14

Miller chalks up election as a good learning experience By Murray Green

Wetaskiwin-Camrose Wildrose candidate Trevor Miller may not have won this riding in the election, but he did gain valuable experience for the future. The Wildrose Party will have 17 seats in the legislature. "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping for a little stronger showing," said Trevor. "It does show that the Wildrose is still fairly new and it needs to grow a little more. We need to take that as a message to get down to work and earn people's trust

and respect. We need to earn the right to govern." Trevor faced one of the toughest opponents in the province in the justice minister. "I knew going in that not only is Verlyn a good justice minister, but he is a well respected man in the community. I knew that I had to outwork him, so I knocked on 5,000 doors and talked to a lot of people," he said. "I amassed a lot of volunteers along the way. It was just too much right now. I am happy that 4,500 people voted for me. I tried my hardest and didn't leave anything on the table. It was a lot of fun."

The Wildrose Party will form the official opposition. "I'm happy for Danielle (Smith) for winning her seat. This is our chance to get in as the opposition and learn even more. It will help us in the long run." The close races in other parts of the province will give the Wildrose Party confidence for the next election. "I think when we earn the people's trust enough, they will vote for us as the Wildrose Party. I believe when change happens, it will happen fast," said Trevor. "A lot can happen in four years. Don't count me out."

Despite losing, Trevor was proud of his positive campaign. "I want to thank everyone for working hard. My wife and campaign manager Lora Miller, volunteer coordinator Cole Kander, CFO Cody Vogel and volunteers Leo Regehr, Kelly Innocent, Graham Sinclair and Tom Messick all helped me tremendously and worked really hard. I thank those who made contributions, the people who voted for me, my children for putting up with me when I was gone so much and Danielle Smith for coming out to help and show support."

He acknowledged his opponent. "Verlyn is a very seasoned man and ran a good campaign. I appreciate that he kept it to policy and we took the high road. Not every riding was able to do that, but we did here and that shows what type of people we are in this constituency. I'm very proud of that." Trevor will concentrate on serving the Camrose County council right now. "Fours years from now is not as long away as you might think. We'll see what happens. People need to know me more and perhaps my values."

Chamber's new web site will be user friendly By Murray Green

The Camrose Chamber of Commerce is working on developing a new web site to offer its membership easier access to services, as well as to have space available for small businesses to post a web page. Membership committee chair Tanya Fox and executive director Sharon Anderson said the site should be operational by May 15. "The new web site has more interactive features than the current one, so membership will be able to update their own information, add their own links and build a mini web page," explained Tanya. "With a premium membership, businesses can have their own page. This is good for small businesses that don't have enough content for a large web site. This will allow them to be on the web for a minimal cost."

Sharon Anderson and Tanya Fox try the new web site.

The basic membership gives a business about 500 words of space to explain what services they have to offer. The infor-

mation will be available in a scrolling format. The premium membership that includes each business having its own

page is $100 a year. "On that web page they can upload videos, music and pictures," said Tanya. "That also includes a logo or a picture of their business," added Sharon. "The premium package gives a business more notability and they will show up in more places. A Google map will show the location of their business. They can also post career or job postings, a special deal they have on a certain day and it gives them control of what they do." The businesses will be issued a password and then they have the ability to make changes as needed. "They simply log in and make the changes they want to make," said Tanya. "It is just another way for businesses to stay up-to-date." Community and Chamber events will be listed on the site. "It is not just to keep Cham-

ber members informed, it is for everyone to use. It will be a onestop shopping site for Camrose and area. It will have Facebook and Twitter access, be social media friendly," said Tanya. "It is going to be easier for members to interact with each other. Some businesses give other chamber members an added discount and this will be a way to find that out." Currently Sharon is compiling items to upload to the site. "It is a lot of information and we hope most of it can be completed in May. We want to finish most of the work before we really get busy with Jaywalkers' Jamboree. The site is designed just for chambers through the Canadian Chamber of Commerce," said Sharon. "We want to get our information up first and link to other chambers." Continued on page 10

Chamber web site will be user friendly Continued from page 7

Members will be able to access committee pages easily to learn about the various activities at the Chamber. "You will be able to find out what the committee does and when it meets," said Tanya. "Members of the community can then become more involved in the Chamber subcommittees if they are interested in helping with a project or an event such as Jaywalkers' Jamboree. It will list all of the events going on in more detail so everyone knows exactly what is happening. Eventually, by 2013, we want to be able to allow people to sign up to purchase services such as booth space, membership fees and other products. Instead of writing a cheque, people can click on the items they need." The exciting and innovative project won't totally replace the current newsletter. "We will still print newsletters because we want non-members to know what events are going on in the community," said Tanya. "We hope people will be more interactive with the site, but there are still people who want the newsletter. Non-members are always welcome to our events; it will just cost them more." The Chamber already has some members ready to add a page to the new site. For more information contact the Chamber office at 780-672-4217.

Sweet Alibi to entertain at Scalliwags By Murray Green

Every once in a while a band comes along that will have instant success because it does the little things right from the beginning. Sweet Alibi is one of those bands. The self-titled album from the female trio is so dynamic, well done, and the talent pours through to your ears that makes it hard not to become an instant fan. Besides blending harmonies, Sweet Alibi band members lead vocalist Jessica Rae Ayre, guitar and ukulele player Amber Neilsen and banjo and guitarist Michelle Anderson are also multiinstrumentalists. The music talent shines through both on stage and on the album. Rose City Roots Music Society brought in Sweet Alibi to wrap up its 2011-12 season on May 5 for the 8 p.m. concert at Scalliwags Pub and Rum Bar. "Roots means a lot of different things to us," said Jessica. "We keep it open to a mixture of different genres." The young Winnipeg trio uses intricate vocal harmonies with jazz, folk, rhythm and blues, and soul in a blend of styles that suits most music fans.

Jessica and Michelle knew each other in school, and eventually they formed a trio when Amber made a perfect addition to the band. "I met Amber at a jam session and things just clicked. We wrote the song "Pick Me Up" and things went on a roll from there," added Jessica. "Music has a strong influence on people's lives in Winnipeg. There have been so many artists with various backgrounds that have had an influence on us." The band is currently touring western Canada. "We want to go to Europe and Australia before going back into the studio," said Jessica. "We want to get to know more people, visit more places and create a larger following. People want to see us play live, as well as know us." The three members draw on their differing musical backgrounds for a sound that stands apart, and songwriting is a true collaboration. “Although 80 to 90 per cent of our songs are written together, Amber does take the lead,” said Jessica. Amber wrote the song "Trial" that is a favourite with some music fans. "I wrote it when I was 16 or 17 and it is based on a relation-

ship that I thought was serious at the time. It's about breaking up one day and getting back together the next," explained Amber. "It is extremely rewarding to share your life songs with people. It is like therapy. All of a sudden thousands of people know what you went through." For the most part, the trio write about normal topics such as relationships. However, "Phoebe's Song" is sweet, sad and humorous at the same time. "The song is about my bird, Pheobe, that I lost. People like to share their stories about pets they love or have lost." The songwriting has been molded into a series of experiences. "We like to write our own songs because it means more and that’s a lot of the fun for us," added Amber. "It is more creative that way and rewarding." The band likes to play on intimate stages, but they have set bigger goals. "One of our goals is to play at a bigger festival. I like playing in front of a lot of people," said Amber. "It can give you more energy if people are clapping, getting into the music."

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Building Relationships “Higher education requires partnerships to be effective,” said Dr. Allen Berger, Dean of Augustana campus of the University of Alberta, in his 2012 report to the community. At the annual Soirée held at Augustana on April 24, he apprised the community of interesting and forward looking information, an account of which appears elsewhere in this issue of The Booster. I am going to comment further on the community service learning connections that are an on-going work in progress. Community service partnerships are an important part of education because they make the accumulation of knowledge relevant to a student’s life, both now and later, whether locally or farther afield. The result tends to be a life-long craving to learn, to serve and, for some, to lead, too. Partnerships have prevailed throughout the 100-year history of Augustana, beginning with its founding as Camrose Lutheran College in 1911, involving the founders, Lutheran churches and the Town of Camrose. It began as a faith-based residential high school, primarily dedicated to serving rural students. While it is now a university which attracts students from around the world, it still maintains a special interest in rural areas. This is evident in some of the more recently-formed partnerships, a number of which involve Augustana students in research and community service projects. Augustana and the U of A’s Faculty of Agricultural Life and Environmental Sciences have jointly formed the Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities (ACSRC). Out of this came a summer intern program involving a number of Augustana students studying aspects of rural municipal planning, administration and program development. The ACSRC, in cooperation with the Alberta Rural Development Network (ARDN), has held events to discuss continuing care in rural Alberta. ARDN is also studying water management strategies in rural Alberta, the results of which will be shared with watershed groups and representatives of municipalities and counties. You meet Augustana students involved in research at the Miquelon Lake Sustainability Centre and/or other places in our region. ACSRC will continue to focus on environment and aging in rural communities and the sustainability of them. Other examples of partnership arrangements include the successful development of the Sports Development Centre in Camrose which involves Augustana, the City of Camrose and Camrose County as well as the present cooperative effort to develop a performing arts centre on the Augustana campus. Promising to make high school education more easily accessible in rural communities is the new Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Education (secondary) combined degree now offered at Augustana in cooperation with the Battle River School Division (BRSD). This will prepare teachers to teach multiple subjects which is necessary in rural schools which have fewer students. Reading University, a summer program for Grade three students, is a joint project of Augustana, BRSD and the Battle River Community Foundation. International experience for students is provided through partnership arrangements with foreign universities. Building relationships is a critical foundation block to greater achievement – not only in the area of education. Combining resources in a spirit of cooperation, rather than competition, best serves the common good. It was satisfying to hear again that students are getting interdisciplinary, in-the-field, hands-on learning that make classroom studies relevant in preparing to cope with the educational, social, environmental and economic challenges facing society today and into the future.

Disappointed and pleased As I watched the election results pour in, I must admit that I was a little disappointed but not too surprised at the results. Deep down in my heart I knew what the reality was. I knew what I wanted to see but there is always a reality side of events that happen around us. I must admit that I was a little down until I looked at the result summary on the Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia. Before that I had to make sense of what happened despite of what all the polls were telling us. Then it suddenly hit me, polls are only a snap shot of a moment in time of the decided voters in a certain area. The undecided vote always can and always will sway the vote one way or the other. Now, to what I saw in the results summary for the 2012 Alberta General election 2012. Yes, the PCs won a nice majority. Yes, the Wildrose did not do as well as the polls suggested that they should do! However,

to me personally, success is not measured by whether or not you have the most seats. Yes, that is important. But the question to ask is did you improve your performance? Did you do better than you did last time? As I look at the summary, the party who improved the most is the Wildrose Alliance Party. A 300 per cent improvement is huge in my books. In my books, we did enjoy a huge success. We got our leader voted in. We have 17 MLAs! Yet, we have lost some of our original MLAs. Yet on the other hand, we won in ridings where I thought we had no chance! To me personally, this is a huge success for the Wildrose Alliance. At the same time, I will congratulate Mr. Olson on his win. I really do wish you well and good success. Yes, I was a little disappointed but now I am filled with hope and expectation for the future. 2016 will be another election and a clean slate. Our party will learn from a few errors that we as a party made. But every party does slip up from time to time because we are all human. We as humans are not perfect. I sure hope that we as a party will learn from our mistakes so that we will not have to repeat them over and over in the future. Lorne Vanderwoude Camrose Wreckless with our health MP Kevin Sorenson is acting recklessly, putting his community members’ health at risk. He is supporting legislation that

will reduce food safety oversight and make major cuts to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). Canadians remember the devastating impact on many families from deaths caused by the Listeriosis outbreaks. We know that more needs to be done to protect consumers, but in a callous and misguided move the Conservatives are making the problem worse. They have decided to cut food inspectors and eliminate programs designed to proactively identify unsafe meat and other food products. Bowing to industry pressure, Conservatives are also eliminating enforcement of product labelling in spite of widespread violations. Consumers will now be responsible for determining whether companies’ claims about nutritional information, such as levels of cholesterol, sodium and sugar, are true. For those with serious health conditions like peanut allergies or diabetes, false claims could prove deadly. Waiting for Canadians to get sick is not a food safety strategy. Liberals are opposing these cuts because Canadians deserve to know that food they buy at the grocery store is safe and that manufacturers’ health claims are true. I encourage Mr. Sorenson to reverse his reckless position and put Canadians’ health first. Frank Valeriote, MP Liberal Party Critic for Agriculture

Nelson falls just short in election bid By Murray Green

Battle River - Wainwright Wildrose candidate Dave Nelson lost by a mere 495 votes in one of the closest races during the Alberta election on April 23. Incumbent MLA Doug Griffiths received 7,205 votes to edge out Nelson who picked up 6,710. No other candidate received more than 800 votes. "We knew it was going to be close right from the get-go," said Dave Nelson. "We went into this to win, so we were disappointed we lost. I'm more disappointed with the results of the whole province, more so than mine. I think the opposition's tactics they used in the last week worked for them." Dave said it's too bad the province is always in the hole. "This is the fifth straight deficit budget that I know of, and it will go to six. When we campaign again in four years, I'm afraid we will still be talking about trying to balance the budget because I don't think we will have one by then." The last balanced budget for Alberta was in 1985.

Dave Nelson

The close races will give the Wildrose Party added fuel in the next election. "This gives us huge confidence for the next election. Two and a half years ago, we weren't even a party," said Dave. "We received about 44 per cent of the vote running against the minister of municipal affairs. That gives us lots of confidence." The Wildrose Party will have 17 seats in the legislature. "There are lots of positives that

we can take out of the election. It's too bad it's a majority government," said Dave. "Now I'm going back to my farm and help keep this government accountable. I believe in Danielle (party leader Smith) and in the party's vision." The Wildrose Party will form the official opposition. "I believe that will only help her as a leader and for the party. I really believe that in four years we will be a force to reckon with." He was proud of the way his campaign turned out. "I wouldn't change anything. We took the high road and I don't think all of the parties can say that. It's tough to battle broken promises. I just thank the constituents for voting and for all of my supporters for the hard work they did for me. It has been awesome the way people pulled behind us." Dave isn't saying if he is running in the next election. "I'm not sure yet. I will be helping in one way or another to make sure the Conservative government is gone from Alberta."

GIFT CERTIFICATES MAKE IT EASY!

The one surprise Griffiths had was that the voter turnout was not higher than it was. "I thought it would be 65 per cent the way people were engaging," he said. "As it turned out it was only seven per cent higher than the last time." Griffiths said he was ecstatic about the campaign his team ran. "We were positive and upbeat and we talked about building better communities. We had more volunteers than we ever had for any campaign I ever ran in because I think people understood that this election would be tougher. I couldn't have asked for a better campaign manager and co-campaign manager, or better volunteers." Griffiths believes there are important lessons that the PCs can learn from this Doug Griffiths election. "I told a number of people that anybody who doesn't do an evaluation after an election to see what they can do better and what they can do to improve on the mistakes that were made in the last term is arrogant and takes for granted that they are going to win. I have never done that. I always review what I can do better. I know I heard a few people say they hadn't seen me as much as they did back when I was first elected and I know that. I mean, I spent the majority of last year campaigning for the leadership of the Party so I wasn't around much. Now that we have four solid years, people will see me back around again. No leadership race, no campaign, it will be good." Griffiths isn't too concerned about the fact that the Wildrose Party was able to take most of the ridings in the southern part of the province. In his view, there are splits that occur in every election. "I have seen splits where it was Calgary and rural Alberta and Edmonton had virtually no seats," he said. "I have also seen circumstances where it was Edmonton and rural Alberta and Calgary had virtually no seats. We're going to make it very clear to those constituencies in southern Alberta that are predominantly Wildrose that they are not going to get ignored or shut out. We will work for them as we work for any other part of the province, and they will see us lots." Griffiths said he hasn't received any indication from Premier Redford as to whether or not he will be brought back into the cabinet as Minister of Municipal Affairs or handed some other portfolio, if he is handed one at all. "There might be a few cabinet ministers moved around to different portfolios with some new people being brought in," he said. "We might not be getting any announcements until next week."

Football Shock win first two games By Murray Green

Under the Friday night lights in St. Albert on April 20, the Battle River Shock posted its second win in as many attempts. The Shock grabbed the lead with an early touchdown by Morgan Loshny. Highlights of the first half included runningback Jason Rivot gaining huge yards moving though the strong contingent of Leduc Tiger Cats. Quarterback duties were shared by Austin Erickson and Josh Saddleback, both making good passes and plays throughout the game. Defensive-back Corson Clarkson had a strong showing making pivotal tackles. The

Shock defence recorded three interceptions and one blocked punt, proving they were ready for the Cats. Rivot ran in the second touchdown following several catches by the receivers, which brought them close to the goal-line. Jacob Butcher caught the third touchdown pass in the end zone. Shock’s strong defensive play kept the Tiger Cats to two touchdowns for a 21-14 final score. The Camrose players on the Shock include Jason Rivot, Bret Tetz, Corson Clarkson, Skylar Rambeau, Michael Ioanidis, Mark Streberg, Dilshant Garcha, Aaron Taves and Cooper Snider who is from Viking.

Kodiaks sign two players for next season By Murray Green The Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League signed Brett Njaa of Birch Hills and Luc Lemire of Prince Albert to add to their den of players for next season “We are very excited and pleased to have these two young men commit to Camrose. They both come from very good families and have been brought up with the values and ethics that

make a Kodiak," said Boris Rybalka, coach and general manager of the Kodiaks. "We cannot wait to teach these two players. I believe they have so much potential that has been untapped. Brett is a complete player, in my opinion, with skill and grit to be able to play both a checking role and also an offensive role, as shown in his stats as he led the SMAAAHL in playoff scoring. Luc reminds

me of a current Kodiak named Jonathan Lashyn. Luc has a solid defensive game and is very steady and competes and makes smart decisions with the puck and has the potential for offensive upside.” Both Brett and Luc played for the Prince Albert Mintos of the SMAAAHL. With the addition of Brett and Luc, they will be key components and play a large role in the Kodi-

aks' upcoming season, and the goal of bringing a sixth championship back to the City of Camrose. The Kodiaks have had 22 players sign NHL contracts over the past nine years and over 100 players have gone onto the NCAA or CIS for postsecondary education. Former Kodiak Landon Ladatz will be pursuing his education and furthering his hockey career with the SAIT

Trojans. He had offers to attend schools in the United States, but chose to go to SAIT near his home. "This was the best fit for him for schooling and hockey," said Boris. "The entire Kodiaks' organization would like to congratulate Landon and his family on this accomplishment and wish him well as he moves on in his life to the next level."

Black receives the most Senate votes in Alberta By Murray Green

Doug Black racked up the most votes in the senate election with 428,791 on election day on April 23. Scott Tannas was second with 349,396 and Mike Shaikh came in third with 308,339 votes. All three were running as Progressive Conservatives. In the Wetaskiwin-Camrose riding, Black recorded 4,850 votes to Tannas' 4,460. The pattern was similar in Battle River-Wainwright where Black collected 5,285 votes compared to 4,423 for Tannas. Tannas, president and CEO of the Western Financial Group

that has an office in Camrose, was one of 13 Albertans running for 'senator-in-waiting' election. The Prime Minister has the final say in appointments to the Senate. The list of those who ran for the Senate positions were Doug Black of Calgary, Len Bracko of St. Albert, Perry Chahal of Edmonton, William Exelby of Edmonton, David Fletcher of Edmonton, Paul Frank of Calgary, Raymond Germain of Calgary, Rob Gregory of Calgary, Elizabeth Johannson of Edmonton, Vitor Marciano of Calgary, Mike Shaikh of Calgary, Scott Tannas of High River and Ian Urquhart of Edmonton.

Augustana presents citation award to Gaede By Dan Jensen

Augustana presented its 2012 Citation Award to Judge Harry Gaede April 24. The award recognizes a non alumnus for significant contributions to the life of Augustana. "Harry Gaede has been a difference maker, not only at Augustana but also in the larger community," explained Dean Allen Berger. In addition to helping students with awards, Gaede has donated to the Chester Ronning Centre, the Augustana chaplaincy program and the piano, choral and drama programs. "My first wife was a music teacher, so I got involved in the music scene," he said in Augustana's 2012 report to the community. "I supported the piano purchase and the choral program, and attend many of the performances. We set up a scholarship for music students as well." Gaede considers himself a "sort of alumni." "I took Greek and Roman history courses and went on several of the trips as an auditing student," he said. "I never stopped learning." Gaede arrived in Camrose in 1971 and practiced law for 22 years with Gaede & Fielding (now Fielding & Co.) before being appointed Provincial Court Judge. Berger said Gaede is a one of the best examples of how a liberal arts education fosters a life long love of learning and contributes to the unfolding of a meaningful life. "He is an avid reader, a passionate discussant of all matters religious and philosophical, a life long student, an organizer of meaningful and important conversations, and an active traveller with a deep seated interest in other cultures. "In other words, he is a role model for our students here at Augustana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; indeed, a role model for all of us." Gaede said that he and others who have been recognized with awards are only the points of the sphere. "The only way we can get awards like this is because we have the support of our family, our community, our friends." Past recipients of the Augustana Alumni Citation Award are Clarence Mastel (2011), Elder Theresa Wildcat (2010) and Norm Mayer.

Dean Berger delivers first report to the community By Dan Jensen

The Augustana faculty will be working hard over the next few years to increase enrolment and strengthen its liberal arts identity. "Our aspiration is to grow the enrolment of Augustana from its current approximately 1,000 students to at least 1,200 over the next five years," said Dean Allen Berger at the university's annual spring soirĂŠe April 24. Berger said a higher enrolment will result in more academic opportunities for students. "For me, enrolment growth is not just a size issue, enrolment growth is a quality issue. With greater numbers we can build a critical mass in academic programs. We can support a greater diversity of faculty, a greater range of courses." Berger believes the liberal arts education offered at Augustana is the best foundation upon which young people can build personally meaningful lives and successful careers. "If all we do as a university is provide students a narrow training in a narrow field we are ill-serving them for a future in which the Canadian Conference Board and the Department of Labour in the United States and others state that they will have at least half a dozen different careers. How will they navigate a landscape of rapid change like that, and how can we assure that they are prepared to make meaningful contributions? We can't train them for the future, we need to educate them, and cultivate a life-long love of learning. That is what it means to be a liberal arts campus." Berger said the entire Augustana faculty will be reading this summer from a book by the former dean of arts and sci-

Augustana Dean Allen Berger.

ences at the University of Notre Dame, called Why Choose the Liberal Arts. "We are going to be reading the book together and then asking what that means for us. How can we more effectively communicate to our own students and to prospective students the extraordinary value this kind of education has, and how can we help our graduates more effectively communicate about value added here at Augustana as they present their credentials to potential employers." Augustana will also be doing assessments to ensure that it is

achieving the desired outcomes in terms of student learning. "We know pretty well what we want them to learn in their majors," said Berger, "and we have identified certain skills that we hope every student will develop at Augustana, things like writing skills, speaking skills, critical thinking skills, information literacy skills, but how do we know if we are doing our job well? Assessment is a critical obligation in post secondary education today. A commitment to assessment is also a commitment to continuous quality improvement."

Berger noted that in addition to working on a general space program that will allow Augustana to develop a business case for the new science building and renovations of the classroom building, Augustana has initiated discussions about the renovations to Founders' Hall. "What I have said to Tim Hanson and others who work in Founders' Hall is that Founders' Hall should be the living room into which we welcome every visitor to campus, every prospective student, every prospective family. And, like your living room at home, it should be a lovely and comfortably appointed space. This, as I said, is our iconic building and it is important that we not only preserve it but that we integrate it into the fabric of our community." Berger said it has been rewarding working with representatives from the City of Camrose in trying to realize the vision of the Camrose Performing Arts Centre. "We are very close. We still have some i's to dot and some t's to cross on legal paperwork, and we still have some negotiations to finish with potential contractors, but I am cautiously optimistic that we will soon be inviting all of you back for a sod-turning ceremony here on campus." Berger has been impressed with the people he has met in his nine months as Augustana dean. "I have discovered Augustana is a campus community that is blessed with incredibly dedicated faculty and staff who take enormous pride in their relationships with students," he said. "I have also discovered a large community of neighbours, friends, alumni and generous donors that truly take pride in the campus, indeed even feel a sense of ownership for

the campus, and recognize the important role that Augustana plays in building social capital and contributing to the quality of life here in Camrose, in the surrounding region, and indeed across rural Alberta." Berger said the school spirit exhibited by the students is something other campuses should envy. Berger is proud of the fact that Augustana has been able to double the enrolment of aboriginal students over the last three years, that it continues to bring in large numbers of international students, and that it was, over this past year, able to place over 350 students in community service responsibilities with organizations and municipalities in the region. "Community service learning is core to our mission because it helps us commit to place-based learning," he said. "An important part of liberal education is preparing students for their lives as citizens, and this is the place where they have opportunity to practice the skills of engaged citizenship and develop values that are so important to engaged citizenship." Berger said Augustana has a comparative advantage over the U of A north campus in the area of undergraduate research because of the student-faculty ratios, particularly in the upperlevel courses. "Our student academic conference included 128 participants this spring, over 50 papers and 35 poster presentations. In the future our faculty is committed to focusing on a tiered approach to undergraduate research. How can we introduce first year students to the joys of inquiry? That is a question all of us are asking and collectively answering.

Mental Health supporters help clean city By Murray Green

To celebrate Mental Health Week, the Camrose chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association will be creating awareness by helping the city clean the community. "We will be out on Wednesday, May 9, picking up garbage around Mirror Lake. Many Canadians do not recognize that they are ill, while others don't seek help because of misconceptions about mental health," said Jayne Shott, a member of the local chapter. "Taking the time to learn about mental illness could make all the difference to you or someone you care about." By 2020, it is estimated that depressive illness will become the second leading cause of disease burden worldwide and the leading cause in developed countries like Canada. Mental Health Week, an annual event, takes place from May 7 to 13 to encourage people from all walks of life to learn, talk,

Mental health is everyone's concern," said Jayne. "To do our work, we really rely heavily on public and corporate donations." Donations to the Canadian Mental Health Association in Camrose can be made by calling 780-672-2570 or you can drop

KidSport Chapter starting in Camrose By Murray Green

A lot of children in Camrose would like to compete in sports, but a lack of finances sometimes gets in the way. Dean Threinen and Jeff Braaten want to change that. "We are launching a Camrose chapter of the KidSport Alberta program. We just need a few more board members and then we can begin fundraising to help parents with the cost of purchasing equipment, registration fees and other team fees," said Dean. "One afternoon the kids and I were out skating on a Camrose area rink and there was a young 12-year-old boy emulating Sidney Crosby and I asked him what team he played for," said Jeff. "He said he doesn't play because he can't afford to play. That really struck a soft spot in my heart. I'm thinking if that is one player on a local rink, how many others are there. I got on the Internet and was searching for a place

to help him when I came across KidSport." Jeff e-mailed and learned that Dean had already contacted KidSport. "I contacted Dean to see what we could do to start a program in Camrose." "In December, I contacted KidSport to see what it took to start a chapter and then I talked to Jeff about doing something locally. From a young age, I was always involved in sports and it kept me out of trouble," said Dean. "There have been a lot of good athletes come out of Camrose and we want everyone to have a chance of playing sports." Camrose has had a Help Fund to assist those struggling to pay registration fees. "We want to work with that program and KidSport expands on that and also assists with equipment and team fees," added Dean. "With more assistance from government and local businesses, we want children to be able to enter sports without barriers,"

said Jeff. "It is our goal to start a local chapter, so we can help local kids." "Anyone who wants to help, or together with us, is going to be a positive thing for the athletes," said Dean. "We need more board members. Right now it is Jeff, Tanya Fox from Fox TaeKwonDo and myself. We really need five people on the board to get us going." Since KidSport Alberta was started in 1995, $7,327,174 has been raised to help 42,229 children through the program. "The good thing about KidSport Alberta is that they are there to help. They have a lot of chapters throughout the province," said Jeff. "People can contact KidSport Alberta and receive help. However, any donations or fundraising we do would go to them if we don't have a local chapter. Our goal is to fundraise locally to help local children," explained Jeff. "Once we have enough

people on board, we set up a bank account and then we can begin to hold fundraisers. Any money raised here would stay in the surrounding community. That's our main goal, to help local children play sports," added Dean. Sport Canada defines a sport as an activity that involves two or more participants engaging in a competition. It involves formal rules and procedures, and requires tactics and strategies, neuromuscular skills and a high degree of difficulty, risk and effort. It excludes activities in which a motorized vehicle is the primary determinant of the competitive outcome. Thus, many physical activities that may require substantial physical effort, such as walking/jogging, gardening, aerobics, home exercise, car racing, hiking, and skateboarding are not considered a sport. Dance is included along with the sports. "We would fund lessons in swimming or fees to

belong to the swim club, rather than just a swim pass. It has to involve learning," said Dean. "Applications are done anonymously, so all of the information is kept confident. We want to help children and we would take referrals from schools, police, and other organizations," said Dean. "We have a partnership with the Brick Warehouse to fund some equipment." If anyone is interested in being on the board, helping with fundraising or making a donation, contact KidSport Alberta and the money would come to our local chapter. Contact Kristin Glass at KidSport Alberta at 780-644-1042. "We don't have an office yet. Hopefully, we can start our chapter soon," said Dean. "We are compared to Fort Saskatchewan in size," said Jeff. "They helped 80 children last year and four Camrose children were helped. A local chapter would make a huge difference."

Camrose Interact Club members have eye-opening experience By Dan Jensen

Members of the Rotary Interact club at Camrose Composite High School were able to experience life in the developing country of Belize during their Easter break. "It was eye-opening to say the least," said Kirsten Gibson, one of the 12 teens from Grades 11 and 12 who made the trip. "It helped us see how fortunate we really are and how much need other countries have for assistance." The teens spent most of their time at San Ignacio, in the Cayo district of Belize, near the Guatemalan border, where they assisted with service projects involving youth. "The first two days we were split up, with half of us going to St. Barnabas School for sports days with kids between the ages of 5 to 14 and the other half going to the Cornerstone Centre for at risk women and children," said Carley Angelstad. The sports days were organized to give the youth a place to go during their own Easter break. "We bought meals for them because the kids were poor and for many, the meals they get at school are the only ones they get all day," said Angelstad. "If the schools are closed they end up going hungry." At Cornerstone Centre, the students helped with Easter crafts and reading. "The children at Cornerstone Centre were a little bit shy at first, but warmed up to us pretty quickly," said Gibson. "They couldn't wait to see us and were excited about all the things we had planned for them to do. We had barely finished one activity when they were wondering what we were going to do next." The Camrose Interact members were impressed with how willing and eager the students at St. Barnabas School were to learn.

Members of the Interact team that travelled to Belize over the Easter break are: (bottom row, left to right) Laura Travers, Kirsten Gibson, Rachael Woods, Sarah Cole, (middle row, left to right) Monica Thygesen, Tori Thomsen, Kelsey Peters, Carley Angelstad, Patrice Johnson, (top row, left to right) Bryce Thomsen, Sam McDonald, Silvio Rose, Robin Manaloor and Larry Johnson.

"They were so polite," said one. "It was the first time in my life I had ever been called sir." The members also visited another school that was in rougher shape than St. Barnabas, where they sanded and painted blackboards on a day where the hot temperatures made working difficult. "It was a rough school in a rough neighbourhood but it looked so good when we were done," said Angelstad. "The principal that we talked to there told us that it is hard to get students to show up and get them interested in what they were teaching." The Interact Club pre-

pared for the trip by raising money through bottle drives, silent auctions and community work placements to purchase school supplies such as paper, chalk and crayons, which, along with soccer balls, shirts and skipping rope, were presented to St. Barnabas School when they were there, along with soccer balls, shirts and skipping ropes . "They received a donation of $1,000 from the Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak that went to the purchase of the sports equipment," said Patrice Johnson, one of three adult chaperones for the trip, along with her husband, Larry, the assistant governor for Rotary

District 5370, and Joanne Miske. The Rotary Clubs in Belize and Rotary District 5370 have been working for the betterment of the educational system in Belize for the past ten years. Three years ago, nine teachers and ministry of education officials from the tiny Central America nation (formerly British Honduras) toured Camrose and area schools as part of the continuing Rotary District 5370 Belize Literacy Program. The program was started in 2006 in an effort to influence the education of some 60,000 Belizean students in the subjects of mathematics, science and language arts, mainly in Grades 4 to 8.

"Dr. Larry Payne, who is the superintendent of schools for Battle River Schools, went over there as a Rotary educational consultant," said Johnson. "He spoke to the Interclub members before they went and gave them an idea of what they could expect." Along with working in the schools the Interac members went to the home of a Rotary couple in Belize, where they put together 30 water filtration systems. They were shocked when they learned that sixty per cent of all homes in Belize do not have access to clean water. "This couple was saying that the people don't realize how sick they can get by drinking unclean water," said one. "It's a major factor in the country's high infant mortality rate." The members finished their experience by getting together on a couple of occasions with another Interact club in Belize, snorkelling on the barrier reef, visiting an Iguana conservation facility, touring Mayan ruins, and celebrating with the people of San Ignacio during a festival similar to our own Jaywalkers' Jamboree. "The people were celebrating the fact that one of their own had won a bike race from Belize City to San Ignacio," said Larry Johnson. "The race had been won by an American for five to six straight years before that." The Interact Club at the Camrose Composite High School has 20 members who meet once a week throughout the school year. Interact clubs carry out two community service projects each year, including one that furthers international understanding and goodwill. The members paid for all costs of the trip out of their own pockets. Activities in Belize were coordinated by the Rotary Club in San Ignacio.

CCHS Culinary Arts student wins gold medal By Matthew Stinson, M.Ed.

On Thursday the 19th of April, Madison Huseby travelled to Vermilion to participate in the Skills Alberta south central regional skills competition. Madison, a Grade 10 student, was competing in Culinary Arts and has been trained since Grade 8 by chef teacher Matthew Stinson, from Camrose Composite High School. Madison produced a main course plate consisting of a beef rouladen,

duchesse potatoes, and braised red cabbage and steamed buttered broccoli. She also made a stunning chocolate mousse that was garnished with a sweet meringue, a tangy raspberry coulis and composed strawberries. Madison’s dedication to practice and culinary art paid off as she won the gold medal, which qualified her to represent the region in the upcoming provincial skills competition that will be held

in Edmonton May 10 and 11. The two-day event will be much more exacting and Madison has been practicing up to three evenings a week and on Saturday mornings with Mr. Stinson in order to hone her culinary skills. Madison is a student with success and the desire to learn about cooking on her mind. This will be the 20th anniversary of Skills Alberta and Mr. Stinson introduced CCHS and the Battle River School Divi-

sion to the creditable skills competition 19 years ago. Since then his foods students have had much success and brought many provincial gold medals in baking and cooking to the school, as well as one hard-to-win national title for baking. Stinson has always been optimistic over the last 20 years for the success, quality and future of his food students and their education, but, unfortunately, low enroll-

ments appear to be indicating the closure of the CCHS foods program. This year’s skills competition may be his last, but there are many more opportunities in skills Alberta competition for other disciplines that highlight trades education with some quality. Good luck to Madison in the 20th provincial competition. She is dedicated and hard working and a great student to represent our region in cooking at Skills Alberta.

Ford Edge Style and technology together

By Dan Jensen

Style and technology come together in a bold new way in the 2013 Ford Edge at Lamb Ford Sales, Camrose. "Our customers are going to love it," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read. "It is definitely a vehicle that stands out above the crowd." Performance The 3.5 litre V6 produces 285 horsepower and 253 lb.-ft. of torque, while the 3.7 litre twin-independent variable cam timing V6 delivers 305 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft. of torque, all on regular fuel. Both engines are teamed with a six-speed automatic transmission. The SelectShift automatic transmission is standard on the Edge SEL and Limited series. SelectShift gives the driver total control over gear selection and performance. Upshifts, for instance, are not commanded at redline, and downshifts are allowed at the lowest gear possible as defined by the engine. When a lower gear is selected while descending a long downhill grade, SelectShift will hold that gear until the driver manually upshifts, or returns to the fully automatic setting. A new 2.0 litre EcoBoost I-4 engine delivers 15 per cent fuel economy improvements over the 3.5 litre V6 when mated to a six-speed transmission. "The engine offers the performance feel of a sixcylinder," said Read. Driving experience Eighteen-inch tires, standard on the Edge SEL and Edge Limited, provide a more engaging steering feel. Twenty-inch tires are optional on Edge Limited, while Edge Sport has class-exclusive 22-inch wheels standard. Shocks, springs and the stabilizer bar have been adjusted to tighten handling. The shocks now feature a high-flow piston, which allows engineers to tune for both road loads and driving dynamics, without compromising ride for handling, or vice versa. The result is a

flatter response through turns and over hills, while still providing a comfortable ride. Brake related features include Hill Start Assist, which reduces rollback on hills, Trailer Sway Control, which provides greater towing stability when equipped for trailer tow, Hydraulic Brake Assist, which provides greater braking force in emergency stops, and Adaptive Cruise Control and Collision Warning with Brake Support, which helps reduce speed and automatically pre-charges brakes and engages an electronic brake assist system to help drivers stop more quickly when the system detects a collision is imminent. Interior The Ford Edge SE is well equipped with clothtrimmed seats and single-zone manual air conditioning. The SEL gets unique cloth-trimmed seats, a six-way driver seat, and dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control.

MyFord Touch driver connect technology provides a smarter, safer, simpler way to connect drivers with incar technologies and their digital lives. It replaces traditional vehicle buttons, knobs and gauges with clear, crisp LEC screens and fiveCraig Beddoes way controls like those found Lamb Ford Sales on cell phones and MP3 players. Two 4.2-inch fullcolour LCD screens flank an analogue speedometer and an eight-inch touch-screen LCD at the top of the centre stack. A five-way switch on each side of the steering wheel crossbar controls the information displayed on the corresponding instrument panel screens. The screens can be personalized to display information relevant to each individual driver using a simple button click, voice command or touch-screen tap. Safety The advanced Personal Safety System uses sophisticated sensors to optimize deployment of the dual-stage front airbags in certain frontal collisions. Front-seat side airbags deploy in certain side-impact collisions, while the Safety Canopy system increases protection with a rollover sensor and side-curtain airbags. Each standard sideview mirror features an integrated convex blind spot mirror that helps identify vehicles and objects nearby, so you can avoid them. So that you and your passengers can be easily located, the SOS Post-Crash Alert System will automatically flash the hazard lights and sound the horn after an airbag has deployed or a safety belt pretensioner has activated in certain collisions. Warranty The basic warranty on Ford Edge is three years or 60,000 km. The Powertrain Limited Warranty is five years or 100,000 km.

Stewardship Society nominated for Emerald Award By Murray Green

The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society has been nominated for an Emerald Award for working so hard to keep this city a green place to live. After competing against about 90 applications, Camrose made it to the final 34 entries. The winners of the awards will be announced on June 6. The Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Project Vision is a network that enhances community values and quality of life for city of Camrose residents. "Alberta has a non-profit organization called the Alberta Emerald Foundation. They recognize excellent environmental issues and celebrate environmental achievement," said Glen Hvenegaard of the stewardship society. "They have 10 categories and one is for community groups, which we are in." Beginning in 2002, the volunteer project committee initially sought to raise greenspace stewardship awareness through community-based, weekly summer interpretive events and speakers. "We want to find the right balance between protection and development and one of the key events is a greenspace plan," explained Glen. "This is an important step to determine principles and goals for greenspace." In 2011, the project graduated to greenspace stewardship action marked when the city commissioned a Municipal Greenspace Master Plan to help integrate environmental responsibility. The project and volunteer society supporting it are exemplary in demonstrating how a grassroots, communitybased organization with clear vision and committed approach can assist local governments in achieving their vision of creating unique, desirable, and sustainable communities. "The stewardship project has provided multiple environmental benefits, including pro-

tection and enhanced management of physical elements such as increased public preference for natural lands and water. It has had a 20-fold increase in Purple Martin breeding pairs and numerous ecological services such as water quality enhancement, and support of related social elements (increased opportunities for human enjoyment and recreation," said Glen. "We are lucky to have the Camrose Creek green corridor running through he city, but every new development has to carefully think about the quantity and quality of greenspace." With few exceptions, undeveloped municipal lands were historically valued for their development potential. This proj-

ect challenged this paradigm by creating public awareness and knowledge on greenspace values. "Discussions are underway with the Regional School Division about the potential for an environmental education facility within the greenspace network to link this environmental leadership work with emerging environmental knowledge needs of students," said Glen. "The diverse volunteer committee represents 10 agencies or interest groups that have remained true to the original vision and unwavering in their support through time," added Glen. The group generated funds to hire a summer program coordinator among the committee

and office space was donated for several years. "The committee meets throughout the year to support the summer program and numerous community projects," said Glen. "Success was clearly marked in 2011 by a forward-thinking decision by the City to undertake the greenspace plan. This plan will place greenspace on equal footing with development, transportation, and other competing priorities, thereby delivering on the project’s vision of a greenspace network that enhances community values and quality of life for city of Camrose residents." The leaders ensured strong communication with key partners throughout the project life. "The community and visitors

were the primary audience for programs, projects and events. They responded very positively as demonstrated by attendance at summer programming and events, sign-up as community martin keepers, and by large attendance and volunteerism at events (130 attendees at 2010 inaugural purple martin festival). This support positively influenced views of city administration and councillors and contributed to the decision to pursue the greenspace plan," said Glen. Project members include Len Lupyczuk, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development; Glen Hvenegaard, Augustana Campus – University of Alberta; Tom Tomaszewski, Camrose and District Fish and Game Association; Dan Olafson, Camrose Rotary Club; Gerhard Lotz, Camrose Ski Club; Chris Clarkson, City of Camrose Leisure Services; Michael Barr, Ducks Unlimited Canada; Shirley Damberger, Tourism Camrose; Carol Davies Pedersen, Wildrose Outdoor Club and Beke Brinkmann, Boomtown Trail Society. Both ecological and social research has been a component of this project since its inception. Most recently, a research innovation known as data loggers are being introduced to the Purple Martin community project. "These devices are attached to locally reared birds and will allow tracking to their migration and wintering areas. This technical addition to an established project adds international profile and celebrity status to the project. Sharing the project’s experience is helping lead other communities toward wildlife and greenspace stewardship," Glen said. "The city and its citizens are openly grateful to the society for helping recognize how greenspace is a defining asset of the community and a priority that deserves proactive civic planning and decisionmaking."

Norton Metcalfe releases third album By Murray Green

The Norton Metcalfe Trio has struck a chord with local country music fans. "I put together a collection of songs on the advice of my friend and mentor Bill Walker. His encouragement over the past six years has resulted in my rekindled love of music and the desire to entertain others," said Norton. "All of the material in this album has a special place in my heart and often reflects my own journey through life." The Norton Metcalfe Trio plays the circuit in Camrose and area with Norton on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Sonja Beairsto on bass and Bill Walker on lead and rhythm guitar. "We have played at the Jaywalkers' Jamboree for a number of years, the Bashaw Festival of Stars, appeared several times at the Camrose Country Opry and most of the lodges and many private events." Norton turned his casual

love of country music into a passion. "I played a lot when I was little, but never went out in public. I would play at campfires or for the neighbours," said Norton. "That changed about 15 years ago." Mary and Bill Walker started the Camrose Country Opry. "When I met Bill Walker he got me going. I was the president of the Camrose Country Opry after him (2004-09) and that really got me going then. He kept pushing me to play and now we are together. I'm really enjoying it." That push was the shove Norton needed to share his talent with others. "I learned a lot from Bill. He is a great guitar player. I just wish I had met him 10 years earlier," joked Norton. "When you play around the campfire, no one really cares about your mistakes. When I first played at the Opry, I was shaking like a leaf. That is all gone now. It doesn't matter if it is a crowd of

400 or not, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I just love to play. The more you play and sing, the more confidence you have." The faces of music fans at the lodges light up when the trio entertains for them. "They tap their feet or even get up and dance. It gives us satisfaction to see them enjoying themselves." Norton and Bill met at church one day and started talking music. "I mentioned that I play a little bit and he said that to me as well. Well, he sure showed me. He could play a little more than he let on at first. Bill asked me to sing some songs. We didn't do anything right away. I had a really old and cheap guitar. Then one day he said that he found a good second hand Taylor guitar that would suit me. He said I have outgrown my old guitar and that I needed to move up. I bought it from Bill and I'm sure glad I did. It is a wonderful

sounding guitar. He has been my mentor since then." Bill played with other bands for several years before hooking up with Norton. "He would always fill in for musicians and back up other bands if they were short." Entertaining at senior lodges has expanded the trio's play list. "I didn't want to run out of songs or play the same ones over and over again. This forced us to learn some new songs and has made us a better band. We try to learn at least two new songs every month. All of our songs on the CD are different than the ones on the other CDs," said Norton. "We enjoy playing and we know that we are not professionals. All three of us really enjoy playing and we just want to play more." The band has been together for about six years. "I remember Sonja playing at the Opry in the early days, but I didn't

know her at that time. When Bill and I started playing, he said to contact Sonja. She would add another dimension to our group. When I called her, she didn't really know me, so she asked who else is playing in my band. As soon as I mentioned Bill, she agreed right away." The trio's new release Look at Us is available at concerts for $10. Some of the bands best cover songs include "Everything's a Waltz," "Hey Good Lookin' " and "I'll be all Smiles Tonight.". The Opry is held once a month at the Bailey Theatre. The next show is on May 19 at 7 p.m. "The Opry never pays any of its performers. People come from Edmonton. Some sound like professionals, but they play just for the love of it," said Norton. "Some of them sell CDs to pay for their gas. They don't make any money at it, they play for the fun and enjoyment like we do."

Charlie Killam School students Skyler King and Danton Davis smashed their opposition on the way to winning the doubles junior high badminton finals. A loss turned the duo into champions. The Grade 9 students dropped a round robin match during the playoffs at the Camrose Composite High School before winning the final match. "We studied the team that we lost to and made some adjustments," said Skyler. "We figured some things out and asked our coach Jayson Boyson for some advice on how we could beat them next time." The new found strategy changed the team. "It gave us some added confidence going into the finals," added Danton. "It taught us not to get down after a loss, but to work harder to win and get back on top," said Skyler. Charlie Killam school sent 23 badminton players to the regional meet and the team placed second in the over all competition. "Each player or team received points based on what position they finished in," added coach Boyson. "Killam won the overall points, but they had 31 athletes. Every one of our players received at least one point and our school is proud of that accomplishment." Travis Child and Kelsey Cloutier of Killam won the Grade 9 mixed doubles. Lauren Brodie and Kasey Smolski of Killam captured the girls event over Hannah heck and Brooklyn Mantai of Charlie Killam School. Tara Yuha of Rosalind and Joe Damberger of Tofield won the singles events.

By Reesor, director of the Battle River Community Foundation, presents a cheque to Wilf Maertens-Poole, president of the Camrose and District Senior Centre Society.

The Battle River Community Foundation has made a grant to the Camrose and District Senior Centre Society. The Camrose and District Senior Centre Society provides recreational activities for seniors 50 years of age and over at the Mirror Lake Centre. These range from friendly card games and scrabble to competitive floor games, pool, table tennis, pickle ball and dance. The grant is made possible by the Vernon Schnyder Fund. Mr. Schnyder, who farmed in the Gladstone area, has been active in the Senior Centre since he retired to Camrose in 1987. He created this fund in hopes that his contribution would help build a strong future for the Centre so that it can continue to serve both seniors and the community. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects in East Central Alberta which benefit local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects. Since its founding in 1985, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1,400,000 to various projects and initiatives.

Camrose and District Music Festival ends on High Note Camrose and District Music Festival wrapped up a busy and entertaining week with a Grand Concert at Charlie Killam School April 28. Pictured clockwise from top left: members of the Charlie Killam Grade 8 Concert Band, under the direction of Bob Bailey, performed Bugs, by D. Schaffer; members of Ballet Camrose perform The English Garden; Faith Johnson performs a musical theatre solo entitled Castle on A Cloud; members of the Senior Children's Choir, directed by J. Murphy, perform Pie Jesu, from Requiem; Madeline Killen and Sarah Haugen performed a speech arts duologue from The Miracle Worker - Act II. The Rose Bowl trophy and a cheque for $500 from the Camrose Lions Club fund established with Battle River Community Foundation was presented to the Camrose Community Choir. The Rose Bowl trophy recognizes what adjudicators feel is the best overall performance during Music Festival Week.

FVAS presents gift to Battle River Community Foundation By Dan Jensen

Youth in Camrose are coming to a greater understanding about who they are and the gifts they possess, thanks to the support of the Battle River Community Foundation. A gift of $1,000 from the Foundation late last year has made it possible for facilitators from the Family Violence Action Society facilitators to establish a Tap Out Club that is helping junior high students uncover the real reasons for their defiant behaviour. Tap Out Club members are youth who have been noted for varying degrees of angry outbursts, bullying or being bullied, lack of self-governance, or a general lack of cohesiveness with their classmates that often results in visits to the principal's office. "Not surprisingly, the students' lack of belief in their own worth and an absence of hope for a bright future are common themes in their outlook on life," said Family Violence Program director Sheralyn Dobos. "When asked if they knew why they were invited into the group one group responded it was because they were the worst class ever." The Tap Out Club encourages youth to know when to step back, throw in the towel or walk away. Facilitators seek to help them identify the many emo-

tions they wrestle with every day and provide tangible steps to deal with those emotions. "We started first with a classroom of boys, then another, then later added a group of girls," said Dobos. "The meetings are 42 minutes a week for a period of eight weeks." Each group that engages in the Tap Out Club works to create its own code of behaviour based on respect for others, decisions by consensus, consistent procedures and other group norms to form a healthy foundation for interaction. Par-

ticipation in the club is expected, as it is meeting health curriculum objectives set forth by Alberta Education. "One participant chose to leave the group early on," said Dobos. "Interestingly, within one week this student, who would not commit, requested the permission of the group to return. He has since become one of our most enthusiastic participants." Dobos said students in the Tap Out Club have begun to think proactively and try to achieve a positive outcome.

"School staff will say some of these students are seen much less frequently at the office. Words like nice and pleasant are even used to describe encounters with them in the hallways. Some of the boys have come early, on their own accord, to the group's meeting place to help with setup. Students that would not formerly have chosen to spend time together now walk to the store together at lunch break. One student with special needs who had always felt misunderstood came to feel safe enough within the group

to explore his disability. And the group listened. And asked. And showed respect for him as a person." One of the thought-provoking exercises some of the students undertake is the creation of a special identity quilt with each student creating a paper "quilt block" that represents who they are as a person. "Early in the eight-week series, a block depicting drugs and alcohol was submitted by one student," said Dobos. "After having a week to ponder the group's discussion, the creator of the block asked for it back and wanted the opportunity to make a new one. It wasn't what she wanted to put out there to the world." Family Violence Action Society provides services for men, women, youth and children through group programs and individual counselling to address family violence, anger issues, elder abuse and bullying. Support of the Battle River Community Foundation, along with donations from individuals and other community organizations, is leveraged with grant funds from numerous sources. The Family Violence Action Society also coordinates the Family Violence Response Council to support collaborative efforts of a dozen agencies and organizations to ensure a united approach to issues throughout the community.

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday 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.

Chuck MacLean Arts Centre features local artist Dawson By Jane Cherry-Lemire Arts Director, City of Camrose

The Chuck MacLean Arts Centre is proud to present a Retrospective show featuring local artist Mavis Dawson for the month of May. Mavis has been a member of the Mirror Lake Art Club since 1975. In this period of time Mavis has produced a lot of wonderful art and we are delighted that she has taken the time to pull together pieces that span the past 37 years. Mavis has taken oil, drawing, acrylic and egg tempura technique classes through the University of Alberta Faculty of Extension. She has also been quite busy doing porcelain painting, soapstone carving, basswood carving and most recently rughooking. Several of her pieces have been chosen for awards as well as being purchased by the Alberta Foundation for The Arts private collection. Between 1978 and 1991 Mavis taught painting classes for those who wanted to paint recreationally. These days Mavis herself still attends the Mirror Lake Art Club gatherings and is working in a variety of mediums. Mavis has chosen 53 pieces for this show, many of which were done on location and offer a nice variety of mediums and subject matter. The Arts Centre tries to feature a different show each month. Hours are typically 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. Weekend hours are subject to bookings, so you are encouraged to call before coming at 780-672-9949.

In 1969 the massive oil spill off Santa Ana, California inspired a Senator Gaylord Nelson from Wisconsin to push for Earth Day on April 22, 1970; and thousands of groups across United States and Canada started what has become an annual event of protests, lectures, games, and organized activities to clean up the environment. “Earth Day has become important to our congregation,” said Brian Nelson of the Camrose United Church Social Concerns Committee. “This year we had an Earthy Communion and then served our community by picking up garbage at Mirror Lake and celebrating with a meal together.” The Earthy Communion itself appeared like the usual communion. Selected members of the congregation each held a container. One was a bowl of water; the other, however was a bowl of soil. The congregation was asked to dip their fingers into the water and then into the soil. They could feel the coolness of the water, the texture of the soil. They could smell the earthy richness of the loam; and several touched their tongues to the damp mixture. More importantly, each was asked to meditate on his contribution to the sustainability of the environment. “Dipping our fingers into Holy water is an ancient Christian tradition, still practised today,” explained Alan Richards, minister at Camrose United Church, “and dipping our wet fingers into the soil would, I hoped, help us to get in touch with God’s presence in creation.” “I also hoped that we would glimpse how good it is to feel a part of creation rather than apart from it,” he added. “Did this kind of communion with the earth motivate and energize us to care for it a little more, a little better?” asked Richards.

Discussion on seniors' care at library May 8 By Dan Jensen

Now that the election is over it is time that a debate be held in Alberta over the type of public health care we should be putting in place for seniors, says Public Interest Alberta executive director Bill Moore-Kilgannon. "These seniors have paid taxes all their lives and they have contributed to the building of this province," said Kilgannon, who will be addressing seniors' care issues at Camrose Public Library in a May 8 presentation starting at 7 p.m. "They shouldn't be turned over to a very 'corporatized' model of seniors' care, particularly when most Albertans care deeply about our values and making sure that those who are sickest and frailest are being looked after, not because they have the biggest bank accounts but because they have the biggest need." Moore-Kilgannon said the Government of Alberta has been deregulating the pricing structure of long term care while, at the same time, putting millions of taxpayers' money into the building of long term care facilities that, in the end, are owned by private companies out to make a profit from seniors. He feels that giving private companies the right to charge whatever the market can bear will put us in the same position as the United States, where the average cost of a long term care facility is between $5,000 and $6,000 per month, an amount that most seniors on fixed incomes are not in a position to pay. "There are a growing number of private long term care facilities that are definitely charging that and even higher rates in Alberta, and yet in theory we say we have a public health care system. These are the most frail seniors, the seniors with the highest medical needs, yet they are being put in a situation where their choice is to stay in the community and pay $5,000 or $6,000 per month or go to another place and be put on a waiting list." Moore-Kilgannon said the province has not been building enough long term care facilities to match our growing population, let alone our growing seniors population. "Each year they talk about how, with the demographic bubble of the baby boomers coming, that we are going to have more and more seniors in our province. But we actually have the same number of long term care beds in Alberta today as we did back in 1992. They have had new facilities built but they are shutting old facilities down as they are building new ones." While there is a shortage of long term care facilities, MooreKilgannon said there is a surplus of assisted care facilities. Continued on page 38

Discussion on seniors' care Continued from page 37

"Assisted care facilities are wonderful if you are healthy, and often, wealthy. If you are not both those things then sometimes you end up in some trouble. Assisted care facilities are not regulated under the Nursing Home Act like long term care is, and they are meant for seniors who just need a little bit of support. If you need, for instance, help having a bath every week or medication management or toileting, or getting dressed in the morning, most of these facilities are charging additional amounts over and above the room and board. That then gets to be very expensive for many seniors and their families." Moore-Kilgannon said we do have something called designated assisted living, where the province is supporting low income seniors who have increasing medical needs, but often times the facilities don't have the medical staff that are needed. "They have personal care attendants, which are great for the basic stuff, but they don't have the higher end registered nurses, so what often happens in these facilities is that a lot of the seniors' medical needs go undetected or are not diagnosed. If it is detected the first response of the facility is to ship them off to an acute care hospital rather than a long term care facility, where they would have a set number of medical staff to address the situation." Moore-Kilgannon said he is not opposed to large corporations making a profit with private facilities, but the public health care system says that those who have medical needs need to be looked after in our public health care system. Public Interest Alberta is a provincial non-partisan organization that advocates in eight different areas, including early childhood education, care for seniors, education and democracy.

If you are 50 or older, male or female, married or single, working or retired, competitive or non-competitive and have $10 for a membership fee, come join us each Tuesday starting at 9:30 a.m. We mix it up each week but keep our own score so we have fun as well as try to improve our own game.
