The “Maple Split” is an amazing aerial manoeuvre which has been perfected by the highly trained and skilled members of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds. At OleO’s Ice Cream Castle, by Mirror Lake, in Camrose this weekend, the maple split is a delight that will be delicious to the very last lick. OleO’s is the place where you can purchase your tickets (at just $2.00 each) to the

Snowbirds Maple Split Ice Cream Social. This is a rare opportunity to meet and mingle with the pilots and crew of the famous military precision flying team. The social will take place

Friday, August 1st, 7:30 p.m. at the Camrose Airport.

You can build your own Sundae with the Snowbirds. Souvenirs will be signed. At 9:00 p.m. an outdoor “fly-in” movie will be presented. Kids are invited to buzz in to the movie with their lawn chairs, sleeping bags and home-built airplane creations in exchange for an opportunity to win prizes.

Thursday’s parade will have lot of variety By Dan Jensen

You won’t want to miss a minute of this Thursday morning’s Camrose Chamber of Commerce BVJ Kick’n Country Parade. “It’s going to have a lot of variety,” said Camrose Chamber of Commerce parade committee chair Greg Sharp. “We have just over 80 entries now and more are coming in every day.” The Camrose parade had 98 entries last year, including 16 mascots. “It would be nice if we could get to that number again,” said Chamber executive director Sharon Anderson. Pre-parade entertainment will be provided by the Camrose Spirals starting at 10 a.m. The official parade marshals will be the Camrose Special Olympics athletes, who will be riding the Mirror Lake Express train. Special parade dignitar-

ies will include Jim Prentice, a former Conservative MP who is now taking on Ric McIver and Thomas Lukaszuk for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson, Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith and Camrose Mayor Norm Mayer. Musical entries will include the National Army Cadet Pipes and Drums from the Rocky Mountain National Army Cadet Summer Training Centre, the Clan McNaughton Pipe Band from Edmonton, and a Mas (short for masquerade) group from Cariwest, a lively three-day Caribbean Arts Festival that takes place annually in the heart of downtown Edmonton. “We have a hard time attracting a lot of bands because our parade is so late in the summer,” said Anderson. Other entries will

include the Wild West Willy, a 3,000 pound Brahma bull that will be ridden by the winner of this year’s Take No Bull contest put on by the Family Violence Action Society, entertainers from AboutTime Productions, the Hay Lakes Riders, Central Alberta Derby Association, Muskwachees Cadets, Edmonton Indy Raceway and the Battle River Shriners. “It just wouldn’t be a parade without the Shriners and their miniature vehicles,” said Sharp. The Camrose Chamber of Commerce will be awarding plaques for the best entries in the commercial, non commercial, decorated, visiting/community, antique and novelty categories. “The judging will be done by members of the Rotary Club starting at 8:30 a.m.,” said Anderson. The parade will start at 10:30 a.m. from the north end of Main Street and travel south until it reaches the

United Church, where it will take a left hand turn. It will then proceed north again on 48 Street, eventually ending at 51 Avenue. A special viewing area will be set up at the United Church for seniors. Shut-ins and lodge residents will be able to watch the proceedings live by tuning into Channel 10. Jackie Greening, manager of Edmonton operations for Newcap Radio and program director for CFCW, and CFCW broadcaster Pete Hicks will be providing parade commentary. Information about submitting late parade entries may be obtained by contacting the Camrose Chamber of Commerce office at 780672-4217. All entries, including the towing vehicle, must be decorated. Successful summer The Mirror Lake Express train has had a successful

summer, winning first place at the Red Deer parade for civic entry, and second place in the Ponoka Stampede in the towns/cities/villages category. It also received a special award at the Calgary Stampede parade for quality of build. “It didn’t win anything at the K-Days Parade in Edmonton, but the people who were with it had a lot of fun,” said Anderson. The train will be making an appearance at Dahlia’s 100th anniversary celebration on the August long weekend, after which it will head to Bruderheim for that community’s Ag Days, and to Stettler during the last weekend in August. The final appearance of the year will be at the Camrose Kodiaks’ home openers in September. The Mirror Lake Express will be providing rides at Mirror Lake Park from 1 to 8 p.m. on parade day.

Champions named in ‘Take No Bull’ campaign Children exposed to family violence and abuse will continue to have access to local counselling services due to fundraising efforts of several community members. The second annual “Take No Bull” campaign run by Family Violence Action Society (FVAS) saw ten competitors raising pledge funds and vying for the honor of riding Braham-cross steer, Wild West Willie in the 2014 Camrose Chamber of Commerce Big Valley Jamboree Kick’n Country Parade. The campaign raised in excess of $7,200, somewhat short of a $10,000 goal, but up from $5,500 in 2013. Second time competitor and treasurer of FVAS, Lynne Kennedy, won top honors and the privilege of riding Wild West Willie by raising over $2,100. Kennedy also received a custom trophy buckle, sponsored in part by Lammles’ Western Wear and Tack to commemorate her win. In second place, Corry Peake, manager of Scotia Bank Camrose, raised $1,600 and earned the option of promoting Scotia Bank on Willie. Honorable mention goes to Jennifer Routhier, coowner of Stockmen’s Chophouse, for raising $839 for the cause. In addition to the title of champion, competitors were eligible for a variety of other prizes. Sets of two tickets to Big Valley Jamboree, donated by Panhandle Productions, were awarded to fundraisers P.J. Stasko and Signi Bruner. Spring Classic 2015 Rodeo tickets, donated by Camrose Regional Exhibition, were awarded to Corry Peake, Jennifer Routhier and Jan Stepan. Contestants raising a minimum of $250 are also eligible for group or individual photos with Wild

County Reeve Don Gregorwich rode Wild West Willie in the Camrose parade in 2013. Leading the way was Family Violence Action Society’s Sheralyn Dobos.

West Willie, complements of local amateur wildlife photographer, Al Zimmerman. With a few donations still to come in, net proceeds from the event are expected to be about $6,800, which will provide approximately 15 children with counselling support. Children receiving services of FVAS most often have no other options to access this type of counselling, due to financial and other barriers. “This community support is essential in maintaining the children’s counselling service,” notes Sheralyn Dobos, program director of FVAS. “Our grant funding doesn’t cover these services, so without the local community supporting us in this way, this free service

would not be available. We will continue to look for ways to make up the shortfall of $2,800 on this fundraiser, but as a last resort we may have to reduce service to children,” adds Dobos. Children exposed to family violence can be traumatized in many ways, even though the abusive behaviour may not be directed toward them. Children need not even be in the same room with parents or adults during an abusive incident to be negatively affected. They may become fearful and anxious, believing that the world is a dangerous place. A child may become aggressive, lashing out and bullying others, or instead become passive and withdrawn, believing that they

cannot change any part of their lives. Trouble learning is common for such children, because so much of their brain is busy dealing with stress of living in their abusive environment. Exposure to family violence affects the development of children’s brains, which in turn affects physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development. Their ability to connect with other people and make friends is also affected, which has longterm implications for relationships they enter when they become adults. Children who continue to be exposed to family violence and abuse continue to be negatively affected in their development. Last year, 27 children

who were exposed to family violence were supported in gaining confidence to express their feelings, deal with stress and manage their own anger and conflict with others in healthier ways. When children receive counselling at FVAS, parents are strongly encouraged to undertake their own learning and growing process to begin to address the root of the issue. Choices, a group for women impacted by family violence or abuse, and Changing Ways, a group for men are each 14-week programs that help adults begin to understand the dynamics of family violence. Participants learn and practice valuable skills including understanding and coping with emotions and stress, taking responsibility for their own actions and communicating assertively, to name a few. An eight-week Anger Management class is also provided for adults with more generalized anger issues not related to domestic relationships, but that might affect them in work or social settings. All groups are provided without registration fees, and counselling is provided free of charge, though donations are welcomed. Family Violence Action Society is a registered charity providing services to Camrose and area since 1996. It seeks to work in collaboration and partnership with others to reduce the occurrence and impact of violence in our community. Adult group programs are filling quickly for September start dates so interested individuals are encouraged to call soon for more information. Contact Sheralyn at 780-672-0141.

Railway Station honouring women who contributed to war effort By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park will be recognizing the contributions made by prairie women to the First and Second World War efforts during a special event this Saturday. “We thought it would be appropriate to focus this year and next on the on the women who played an important role in those conflicts,” said Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park director Glenys Smith. “This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and 2015 marks the 75th anniversary of the start of the Second World War.” The tribute event will include presentations by three speakers starting at 2 p.m. Denise Dufresne and Rita Nyback will be recalling memories of their family’s involvement in the war. “Rita’s father was killed in the Second World War when she was just a child,” said Smith. “She tells her experience of losing her father due to the war.” Helen L. Fowlds Smith will be doing a first person monologue on the life of Helen L. Fowlds, who graduated as a nurse from Grace Hospital, Toronto just before the outbreak of the First World War and served in the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force as part of the Canadian Army Medical Corps. “As a registered nurse myself, I wanted to focus on the contributions made during the war by female medical personnel,” said Smith. “There isn’t a lot of information on that.” Fowlds began her active service on wMarch 18, 1915 at Le Tréport and then was posted at Wimereux, near Boulogne-sur Mer, as a member of the No. 1 Canadian Stationary Hospital. From midAugust 1915 until late 1916 she was stationed on the island of Lemnos, Greece, during which time she kept an autograph book with notes from her friends. Fowlds sailed from Lemnos on Jan. 31, 1916 and, after almost a month in Cairo, arrived in Salonica, Greece on March 3, 1916. In late September 1916, she asked for a transfer and was able to leave the camp at Salonica on Sept. 25, 1916. She spent some time in Malta before arriving in England on Oct. 20, 1916. On Nov. 28, 1916, Fowlds was posted to a Canadian Red Cross Hospital at Bushey Park where she received notice in February, 1917 that she was to be awarded the Royal Red Cross (2nd class) in recognition of her valuable service in connection with the war. On June 1, 1917 she reported for duty at the Canadian Convalescent Hospital at Clarence House where she stayed most of the summer. Continued on page 38

Feet Walking barefoot or in flip flops or sandals is common during summer. But flimsy sandals offer little protection against the sun as well as any dangers on the ground. Once summer is over, many people find their feet have paid the price, with calluses, blisters and dried-out skin. Find a spa or nail salon that provides paraffin wax treatments. These treatments use warm, oil-based wax to provide pain relief and skin-softening benefits. The heat in the wax increases circulation and relieves pain and stiffness. Paraffin works by increasing blood supply to the skin while also opening pores and trapping moisture from underlying layers of skin. Pedicure treatments also can provide some relief for your feet. Soaking and massaging the feet and addressing any calluses can help feet recover. Think about also applying a deep moisturizer to the feet and then covering them with cotton socks, which can be left on while you sleep, and you may discover the following morning that you have woken up with softer, smoother soles. Summer is a fun time of year, but one that takes its toll on the human body. A few simple tips can recharge the body and have a person looking refreshed and revitalized.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, July 29, 2014 – Page 10

Contingency enough to complete City Hall By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council is breathing a bit easier with the City Hall project. City manager Damian Herle and city senior project manager, construction, Jocelyn Kew gave a report to city council July 21 showing that the approximately $200,000 ($228,258.47 as of June 16) still remaining in the City Hall contingency fund is more than enough to take the project to final completion in the early part of 2015. Furniture An expense that will still have to be covered by the contingency is building furnishings, which Herle estimates will total around $100,000. That’s substantially less than the $200,000 that the architect suggested, based on $500 for every employee. “We believe we are in the ballpark with that ($100,000) number,” said Herle, adding that the City will be trying to bring over as much of the existing furniture as it can. “As long as it looks good we will use it.” $1.3 million contingency The city began the City Hall project with a contingency of 10 per cent of the Bird management original contract of $13,447,740, or $1.3 million. “We have issued 41 change orders to date at an additional cost of $444,869.12,” said Kew. “Approximately 33 per cent of the construction contingency has been used on the construction only change orders.” Council was informed that while there were changes to City Hall that were not specifically approved by council, the same can be said

of other City construction projects. “It is the norm that design changes need to be made on capital projects and these are part and parcel of construction management,” said Herle. On building (only) capital projects there have been numerous changes made to CPAC, the recreation centre, the fire hall, etc., that would fit into the same framework. The same comment applies to other capital projects other than facilities.” Wellness room Herle addressed concerns of council about the wellness room for City staff in the northeast corner of the fourth floor, noting that it was always in the plans, along with the mechanical room, records storage areas, two washrooms, two showers, a janitor’s room and a large unfinished portion for future expansion. “The wellness room will be completely empty,” said Herle. “If the City staff want to purchase equipment that will be their own initiative. It will not be furnished.” Construction materials Kew diminished suggestions and rumours that the concrete in the new City Hall is of lower quality and that the City can expect problems with it in the future. “We hit maximum strength with the concrete and it is very good,” she said, adding that the concrete tests have been documented and are available for public viewing. “We are not seeing any early cracks.” Cost savings Herle commended Kew for working to achieve cost savings on the new City Hall by removing the elevator ($36,000), doing away with the audio visual tender

($32,000), and negotiating lower architectural fees. “Project management is important and everything is scrutinized,” said Herle. Kew noted in her July 4 City Hall project status report that the overall project expenditures need to be monitored to ensure there are not project overruns. “Additional project funds are not available for items not identified in the original budget and project costs,” she said. “Change orders are being reviewed in depth to ensure no new scope items

are being added. This is being reviewed each month with the City of Camrose finance department and the city manager.” Mirror Lake Centre Councillor Max Lindstrand said the City needs to start talking about what it plans to do with the existing City Hall in the Mirror Lake Centre once it is no longer being used as a City Hall. “I am reluctant to sink money into decommissioning it without knowing what we are going to do with it.” Herle said the seniors Immaculate bungalow!

The Camrose Axemen have emerged as one of the best teams in the North Central Alberta Baseball League (NCABL) over the last three years. Camrose won the pennant during the regular season in 2012 and backed that up with a repeat in 2013. Currently, the Axemen are in second place and are still in the hunt for the top spot. They would like nothing better then to have three straight regular season titles. The success on the field brought the all-star game to Harry Andreassen Field in Kin Park on July 22. “The North Central Alberta Baseball League has been going in team numbers. We are 11 franchises and looking very strong in that regard. What is evident to me is that it is growing in quality, as many people are witnessing here. We are of a high quality of baseball that we feel the top half can compete with senior tripleA baseball in this country,” said Paul Riopel, commissioner of the league. “We

are launching, next year, a touring team that will play in several tournaments on weekends when the NCABL is open. We will pre-pick our tournaments. That would be not only in Alberta, but major centres in B.C.” The touring team will be showcasing the talent in the league to even attract top notch young players in the future. “This allows players to expand beyond the NCABL, but still be a part of it,” explained Riopel. The all-star game is for recognition of individuals who have demonstrated superior performance on the field this year. “It is a way of showcasing the talent in our league and encouraging people to come out to discover what good baseball we have to watch locally. That is what we are hoping to achieve,” added Riopel. “Camrose is fertile ground for sports. They have the Kodiaks and Vikings, and historically they had one of the best baseball teams in Alberta. We are hopeful to re-introduce baseball into

the city of Camrose, the summer game. We want people to identify with local players, support them and enjoy great baseball. The Axemen have been very successful. I’m enthusiastic about the franchise and the city.” Chance Wheatley, Cory Martz, Paul Ofrim and Jordan Riopel represented Camrose at the all-star classic and were members of the 7-4 winning team. Ryan Gregg of the Blackhawks was named the MVP of the game with a homer and two runs scored. His dad, Randy Gregg, was a member of the winning coaching staff and won five Stanley Cup rings with the Edmonton Oilers. Camrose currently sits in second place with a 12-4 record, behind the Edmonton Indians, who are 14-3.

Cindy Elliott, Co-owner Elliott's Auto Care

Cindy and husband Eric started working together nearly 30 years ago in the automotive industry. They ran the Gulf, then Petro Canada, station at the corner of 48 Ave. and 50 St., where the Bank of Nova Scotia is now located. Many won’t remember how that looked. But Cindy recalls it vividly and both she and Eric remember the customers who have been loyal throughout all these years. The success of their partnership and their business is due, in large part, to the relationships they developed with their customers. They’re not in business to make a quick buck, to turn a quick profit, doing work that isn’t necessary but may add to the bottom line this month, or this quarter. No, they work with their customers and treat them the way they would like to be treated; with respect, fairly and reasonably, which is why they’re still doing business, growing, expanding their customer base and appreciating new customers in the same way they appreciate all of them. Automotive magazines often talk about the importance of developing a relationship with your repair shop. Cindy and Eric personify the values echoed in those magazine articles. They take the time to listen to their customers and provide appraisals based on integrity. The next time you need work on your vehicle, remember Elliott’s Auto Care for the personal touch you can’t find anywhere else.

Dynamic duo offers super service

There have been plenty of famous duos over the years: Batman and Robin, Abbott and Costello, Chris and Geri, Sonny and Cher; really, too many to list here. What’s that you say? Who’s Chris and Geri? Well, okay, so maybe they’re not famous around the world, but when it comes to providing excellent customer service at the Norsemen Inn, they’ve gained an outstanding reputation throughout central Alberta. They’re well known for being the go-to people if you’re planning a banquet, a social function, a business meeting or an informal come-and-go. Thirteen years ago they began working together, managing the operations of Camrose’s original full-service hotel. But they didn’t start out in management roles; they earned them, working their separate ways up through the ranks. They’ve washed dishes, served in the restaurant, dining room, lounge and nightclub; they worked as night managers, each of them learning the skills to become managers. Now, as they talk about their roles at the hotel, there’s a natural, easy friendliness between them gained over the years, over the hundreds of banquets they’ve coordinated, the staffing schedules, the training, the supervising,

Geri Ferner

and, of course, the thousands of conversations they’ve had with customers, some of whom come into the hotel three times a day. They both agree their favorite part of the job is working with their customers. It’s what drew them to the hospitality business in the first place. Geri started 25 years ago, fresh out of high school, working in the nightclub. Several years later, she was night manager and then manager. Chris followed a similar path. She began working part-time in the nightclub while attending Augustana and liked the work so much, she decided she had found a career in hospitality. Now they work in the same office at desks that face each other. Sometimes they finish each other’s sentences. Sometimes they laugh at exactly the same time. Th ey Chris share a similar sense of humor. They’re committed Cameron to excellent customer service. They enjoy the diversity each workday brings, the many different people they encounter and the situations which arise. If you’re ready to start planning an event and want it to run as smoothly as possible, give Chris or Geri a call today. They will respond faster than a speeding bullet.

Parliamentary Report Kevin Sorenson, MP, Crowfoot Standing Up for Israel Canada has always stood up for freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Canada is always interested in doing what is right and just, regardless of whether it is popular, convenient or expedient. Our Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, has been very clear when it comes to the current situation in Israel. “The indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza on Israel are terrorist acts, for which there is no justification. Canada is unequivocally behind Israel. We support its right to defend itself, by itself, against these terror attacks, and urge Hamas to immediately cease their indiscriminate attacks on innocent Israeli civilians,” he says. I’m saddened to think that human beings are being deliberately used as shields to further the work of terrorists in the region. As your Member of Parliament, I believe that our Prime Minister has taken a principled position and is standing up for those suffering from aggression. Many of our local military veterans can share with you their personal experiences in this regard in places far away from our riding and our nation such as Korea, Cyprus, Bosnia, Kosovo, Croatia, Somalia, and Afghanistan, among others. Prime Minister Harper is calling on other nations to do the right thing by standing with Israel in its time of need. He reminds us that the “failure by the international community to condemn these reprehensible actions would encourage these terrorists to continue their appalling actions. Canada calls on its allies and partners to recognize that these terrorist acts are unacceptable and that solidarity with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict. Canada reiterates its call for the Palestinian government to disarm Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups operating in Gaza, including the Iranian proxy, Palestinian Islamic Jihad.” When there is a battle between democracy and terrorism, where innocent lives are at stake, we should be proud Canada is not afraid to take the principled moral high ground and stand up for what is right. We will continue to stand up for human rights and promote international security by standing with Israel. We will continue to ensure that freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law that define this country, are enjoyed in Israel and around the world.

Please remove the barricades We are retired and moved to Camrose four years ago and purchased a home in the West Grandview area. One of the main reasons that we chose this location was for the safe and convenient way to downtown Camrose on 50 Avenue and Grand Drive. In April we received a letter from the City stating that 49 and 50 Avenues would be temporarily closed and later barricades were put up. Now we have to drive west and south and then east and north to go downtown, which doesn’t make much sense. It was reported in a letter that over 1,800 vehicles a day used the old route to go to downtown Camrose. If this is true, then why should the business people in old Camrose, plus that many motorists suffer just to please a few residents? The figures just don’t add up, and to the city councillors of Camrose, please remove the barricades. Vic and Madeline Luckwell, Camrose Helpful resources We are so blessed to have such an amazing library and staff as we do here in Camrose. As a mother of three young children, I am so thankful for all of the amazing resources and programs that the Camrose Public Library offers. My kids love our visits there, and it’s so much fun to peruse the shelves looking for materials that fit right into whatever topic is hot in their lives at the moment whether it be motorbikes, knights, or Where’s Waldo. Over the last little while, though, I have been really disappointed to see the addition of multiple iPads in the Children and Youth area. Even before the addition of the iPads, I often noticed many young people spending their library visit playing online games, and not touching one book. Earlier today while visiting the library, of the seven or eight pre-teens there, every one of them was engrossed in some

type of video game, either on the library computers or one of the provided iPads. According to Stats Canada, Canadian youth are spending an average of six hours in front of the screen every single day. I’m disappointed to see that our local library is a place where they can log even more screen time. I think it’s wonderful that young people are coming to the library at all, but I would love to see a passion for books as the reason they are there. I believe that technology is a vital part of the workings of a library and of accessing information and knowledge, and having computers for academic purposes is absolutely necessary. But to have the library technology be used by our youth to add to their screen time by playing car chases and online card games? I would like to see our youth taking in books about cars, play actual card games with friends, and use that technology to feed their minds in a productive way. Should the library technology be available for games? I, for one, would like to see it used as a tool for teaching and learning only. Sarah Chetney, Camrose Roads for vehicles We live on 54 Ave. A very busy street. We do not complain because we know what roads are for. To drive vehicles on. We live in the back as the front deck is too noisy. That’s our problem. We have solved it. Please reconsider the actions that have been taken in barricading these streets. I’m sure there are many people who take this route because it is a lot less stressful. I feel badly for the people who live in the next block who cannot access downtown without going up to 48 Ave or the longer route around by 54 Ave. Could that be the reason why we have experienced more traffic on 54 Ave.? Please put our request on record. Neil Cunningham Keitha Cunningham, Camrose Plan for the future As a lifelong Camrose resident I read the Booster, and especially the Letters to the Editor, with great enthusiasm last night. Too often we are not interested in political issues and we end up with the government we deserve. The road closure issue obviously has people talking. I agree that if we all pay taxes, we all deserve access to all the roads in town but there are a couple issues needing to be discussed here. First off, closing off roads that have become

too busy for the residents of the area does not fix the problem, there is still the same amount of traffic on the roads, they just take other routes, maybe through someone else’s neighbourhood. Also, if Camrose had another option (a north ring road or a double lane south ring road) then maybe some traffic would be more efficiently diverted around the city. After the spending on such a swanky city hall, I doubt either of those ideas will see the light of day in the near future. Another issue is that Camrose needs to start planning for future growth. This city is no longer navigable in five minutes and we need to start looking at longer term solutions for traffic. On the bright side, the articles about our enviable park system were bang on. We are lucky to live with such a remarkable park system in our backyard! It’s nice to see citizens voicing their concerns and hopefully the city is listening. Bob Jonson, Camrose Costly message I was born and raised in the city of Camrose (the Rose City). I see that someone, or a group of people, on the public payroll at city hall had made the decision to change our city logo and slogan (the stage is set)). After so many decades of promoting our city across the province and beyond as the Rose City, I question the logic of suddenly portraying our community so definitively in the direction of arts. Additionally, I an deeply concerned at the cost of this initiative. Though I cannot seem to get an exact answer as to the total cost involved, when I start thinking of the ramifications of changing everything from expensive community signage, including our east and west end entrance signs to the city, vehicle decaling, letterheads, thousands of public figure business cards, to flashy tourism materials, or the staggering cost of the actual process itself, I quickly exceed a six-figure number. And, that’s without knowing specifically how much we taxpayers may have paid for the consultants, artists and city manpower time involved in the process. Did the citizens get enough say in this decision? I think not. Was there a better way to spend a fair bit of taxpayer money? I think so. What a shame. Wayne Finley, Camrose

How far in advance should we book our school-break vacation?

There is no concrete answer to this t question. On certain occasions we w have been asked to book one day or o one week before a school break and lucked out finding both suitable airfares l and accommodations at a destination of choice. However, generally speaking this is the exception and you risk disappointment by leaving travel plans to the proverbial one-yard line. Travel demand is exceptionally high now and prudent travellers are snapping up choice hotels and flights to destinations that are typical favourites of school aged kids. Even the Easter break period is filling fast to destinations like the Caribbean, Jamaica, Disney properties, Hawaii, etc. Travel is a key supply and demand business. The world economy has picked up significantly over the last few years. Many people who have put off vacationing for several years are now getting the urge to see the world and are eager to enjoy the education and enjoyment that travel offers. Trips to exciting and safe destinations will be life-long memories. Travel is a terrific investment for all families. Don’t miss out by procrastinating!

W does traveling seem Why tto be more expensive now?

A lot of travel and vacation plans have been impacted by a much more h valuable U.S. dollar. In the past year, v this t particular currency has risen in value 12%. Travel companies, not v wanting to be negatively impacted by the difference, have therefore raised vacation package pricing to many of the world’s preferred sunny destination’s. Grandiose resort destination make-overs, often in the millions or even tens of millions of dollars, has also had an impact on vacation pricing. The advantage to travellers though is an even finer, more memorable holiday experience. The ‘wow factor’ is widespread. Our clients are returning with reports of being thrilled with the resorts we have booked for them. There are ways to get more bang with your holiday budget. If you are travelling with school aged kids, consider a vacation at a November break instead of over Christmas holidays. Or give us more notice to research the peak holiday periods. In general we highly recommend planning major trips much earlier. Right now we can show you 10% early booking discounts across the globe for guided vacation travel in 2015/16. As an example, a European River Cruise for 2015, booked today, could mean free airfare or savings of up to $2,000 per couple!

Q. A:

Acupuncture is virtually pain-free. At most, you may feel a mosquito-bite like sensation as a needle is inserted immediately under your skin. As I carefully manipulate the acupuncture needle to stimulate your natural healing energies, you may feel a dull ache, a slight shooting sensation or, alternatively, a warm, cool or heavy feeling. All of these sensations will be very minor, if at all, but all should be considered absolutely normal and indicative of an effective treatment program. The needles we use are very safe and complications are virtually non-existent. They are fine in size, sterile and disposable stainless steel instruments. They are used as a proven way to increase blood circulation and decrease inflammation. Acupuncture restores the energetic balance in your body and stimulates the healing process. The World Health Organization endorses Acupuncture as an effective alternative to prescription drugs or surgery for a long list of conditions. This lengthy list includes anxiety, stress, depression, pain as a result of accident, illness and a wide variety of illness or hereditary problems. Answer provided by:

How does MLS benefit me as a real estate buyer?

The Multiple Listing System is a highly organized system which, in essence, allows all licensed real estate agents the opportunity to show and sell any listing. In other words, as a participant in MLS, I can show you any farm, lot, home, cottage or business being offered for sale in our community or well beyond! The MLS system includes a sophisticated computer database with comprehensive details of every current listing. This makes it easy to quickly and efficiently find you the property that best suits your needs, even if a real estate sales associate from another office has listed it. As an example, if you are in search of a five bedroom, three-bathroom home, with a hot tub and a vaulted living room ceiling, I could search the MLS system and quickly determine how many suitable properties are being offered for sale with these features, in this market. Then I can make prompt arrangements to show you each and every one of these homes. Worth noting is that a ‘for sale by owner’ property cannot be entered into the MLS system. Let me know how I can be of service to you. Answer provided by:

How do I choose the right window coverings for my home?

Whether the sun is damaging your new floors, the neighbors can see everything you do, or the glare on your T.V. is interfering with your favorite program, window coverings can serve many different functions while greatly enhancing the appeal of your home’s decor. Window coverings come in all types of colors, textures and materials to fit many sizes and shapes of windows. Odd shaped windows such as circles, arches, and angles can also be fitted appropriately. When there is such an extensive variety of window coverings, how does one know which style is going to be best suited for them? There are many things to consider, such as: privacy, light control, energy efficiency, maintenance and achieving a desired look. In a bedroom you may want the room to be very dark and private while in the family room you may want sufficient sunshine while still protecting your furniture. Some rooms’ views are too fantastic to block out and yet too hot or drafty to enjoy. These are just a few of the problems you may run into, and custom blinds can solve virtually any type of window dilemma. Working with a professional window-covering expert can certainly make the process easier. A professional has the experience required to choose a covering that is both functional and attractive.

I have been hearing lots of good things about Japanese mint oil. What is it used for?

Japanese mint oil is a pure, natural product that has a deep heating and penetrating effect. It is very popular with our clients and has many uses. People find that a few drops massaged into the skin are very helpful for the following: • Helping promote circulation. • Relieving tight muscles and muscle cramps. • Useful for injury rehab when treating sprains, strains, swelling and dislocations. • Headache relief when massaged on to the temples and the back of the neck. • Rub on the chest for head and chest cold relief. • For sinus congestion relief, add a few drops into a basin of hot water, inhale while keeping eyes closed. This is one of the many natural products we carry. If you have any questions regarding any of our homeopathic supplements, or our wide range of vitamins, minerals, or gluten free products, please stop in and talk to our health professionals today.

Seniors' Chat Sheralyn Dobos, program director, Family Violence Action Society When Family Help Is Not Helpful

Healthy, supportive relationships are a huge influence in assisting older adults to maintain their independence. To the extent a senior is able, having responsibility for day-to-day functions of his or her own life is a part of healthy aging, both physically and mentally. Family members who provide support and advice, where needed, can add to the length and quality of life experience of a senior, providing that the needs, wishes and best interests of the senior are the primary motivation. Sometimes though, family involvement disguised as â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpâ&#x20AC;? can be to the older personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harm. Canadian research suggests that between four per cent and ten per cent of seniors will experience some form of abuse at one point in their life. Elder abuse describes a systematic pattern of abusive behaviours within a relationship that is characterized by intimacy, dependency and/or trust. The abusive behaviors exist within a context where their purpose is to gain power, control and induce fear. Elder abuse can take many forms including

4964-50 St., Camrose Phone 780.672.8685

financial, verbal, emotional, physical, sexual, psychological, spiritual, economic, violation of rights and exploitation through neglect. Often, more than one type of abuse will occur at the same time. Financial abuse is the most common type of elder abuse reported. It involves the misuse of a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funds or property through fraud, trickery, theft or force. This type of abuse can include any of the following: stealing money or possessions, misusing bank or credit cards, misusing joint banking accounts, forging a signature on pension cheques or legal documents, misusing a power of attorney, selling or transferring a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property against his or her wishes or best interests, failing to provide agreed upon services to a senior such as care giving, home or vehicle repair, or financial management, refusing to return borrowed money or property as agreed upon, or when requested by a senior or their agent, changing a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will, trusts or inheritance for the abuserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benefit. The abuser in abusive situations is often a trusted person in a seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, such as a spouse or partner, family member (often an adult child), caregiver or friend. Often seniors who are victims of abuse are reluctant to speak out. They may be

more afraid of what will happen to them if they report the abuse, than of the abuse itself. Sometimes, seniors simply do not have the capacity to report abuse. In many cases, coercion or threats are used to intimidate a senior. Camrose community is working together to offer a support group for older adults who are having difficulties with family relationships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relationships With Your Adult Children,â&#x20AC;? will begin in October 2014 through a partnership with Camrose Primary Care Network, Alberta Health Services Addiction and Mental Health, and Family Violence Action Society. The support group will run for two hours once per week for eight weeks. If you are concerned that you or another older adult might be in an unhealthy relationship with a family member, there are many local resources that can be helpful. You can call to enquire about the support group or any elder abuse concern, get a referral, or report a situation of concern. Family Violence Action Society is one of many local organizations that can assist in this way. Phone them at 780-672-0141.

Inspiration for seniors Aging can be difficult at times, we all go through it. It is important to remember that even though our physical appearance changes, our spirit does not. Some people in their 70s and 80s are much younger than some people in their 20s or 30s. It all comes down to one thing and that is our outlook on life. Everybody is looking for the fountain of youth, but what they often are unaware of is that the fountain of youth can be found by simply looking within oneself. Always remember, we are never too old to realize a new goal or dream. Also we must realize, just because someone is older, it does not mean that they have nothing left to offer to society and are incapable of accomplishing great things.

2014 Chevrolet Spark Good things come in small packages

Pete Pastuck By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Chevrolet Spark at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC is proof that good things come in small packages. “It’s a colour-sporting, friend-touting, technologyloving fun machine,” said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC dealer principal Will McClellan. Style

The Chevrolet Spark lets you strut your stuff with an assortment of spirited colours, including Lemonade, Denim, Salsa and Jalapeno, so pick the colour that suits you and you’ll be turning heads at every corner. The sporty look is enhanced by your choice of 15-inch split five-spoke silver-painted aluminum wheels, or 15-inch machinedface aluminum wheels with dark grey-painted pockets. You’ll enjoy the convenience of five doors with the sharply shaped rear hatch. International style

Pop the doors open and step into an interior that’s 100 per cent your style. Enjoy the contoured comfort of the heated leatherette front seats on 2LT models. Get added style from colour-coordinated

interior and trim in hues like red, green and silver. Bask in the soft glow of available blue ambient lighting. No matter which model you find is right for you, you’ll get the smart motorcycle-inspired instrument cluster. It’s just one more element that gives Spark its fun, slash appearance. The surprisingly spacious interior means that even with three of your best friends in tow, you’ll never find yourself looking for more elbow room. Plus, with five doors and 883.6 litres of maximum space, you can indulge all your weekend hobbies without worries. Be tech driven

Smart technology. How about real smart technology? Start with the available Chevrolet MyLink Radio. From there, you’ll find connectivity, media, music, your favourite apps and more. And it’s all within reach, thanks to the available 178 mm diagonal colour touchscreen display. Spark brings meaningful technology to your fingertips. Thanks to purposeful technology like Siri Eyes Free and BringGo, you control your journey even after

you’ve stepped away from the car. With Siri Eyes Free as your personal assistant it’s just a simple command away. Simply pair your iPhone with the Chevrolet MyLink Radio to access all that Siri Eyes Free has to offer. BringGo is the most affordable in-dash navigation system in its class. This brilliant technology offers turn-by-turn directions, route information and much more. Map, contacts and vehicle information are all within reach when you use the available colour touch-screen to access the Chevrolet MyLink Radio or available OnStar Directions & Connections Plan. You can even connect seamlessly to Spark with the myChevrolet and OnStar RemoteLink mobile apps. With On-Star RemoteLink you can access your Spark remotely to lock and unlock the doors, have directions sent through your smartphone to the available Chevrolet MyLink Radio or even get vehicle diagnostic info. Use the available USB port or sync wirelessly using Bluetooth wireless technology. However you choose to connect, all your media and

entertainment like Stitcher SmartRadio and Sirius XN Satellite Radio are at your fingertips. And now with TuneIn you can experience radio and media from around the world., Put Spark in park and use the available colour touch-screen and USB port to connect to all your favourite movies and media. Stability in the city

Exploring city streets is easy and oh so fun in Spark. For optimum driver control, choose the five-speed manual transmission. Or for a smooth drive, opt for the available Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Either way, you’ll love the adaptability. With a highway fuel consumption rating of 5.0 litres per 100 km and a city rating of 6.5 litres per 100 km you’re getting a whole lot of efficiency from one mini car. Even parking is a joy. With a tight turning radius that betters the Mini Cooper, you won’t have to back down from city driving maneuvres. Hill Start Assist keeps the brakes engaged for the split second it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator, so slipping up is a thing of the past. Even rock-solid drivers

know that city driving can be unpredictable. But you can breathe easy knowing you have the support of On-Star. In the event of a collision, the built-in vehicle sensors can automatically send an alert to an OnStar advisor who can send help, even if you are unable to respond. Plus, you and your fellow adventurers can go confidently with ten standard airbags. To help you when travelling in reverse at low speeds, a rear vision camera, standard on 1LT and 2LT, provides a real-time picture of the area behind your Spark on the 178 mm colour touchscreen display. Spark’s body-frame integrated structure is tight and stiff for sportier driving dynamics. The electric power steering and MacPherson strut front suspension are designed to deliver taut, tight handling characteristics that better connect the driver with the road and provide outstanding overall stability. You can see the 2014 Chevrolet Spark at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-6722355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Kenneth George Shute August 26, 1947 – July 20, 2014 Kenneth George Shute of Camrose passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 20, 2014 at the age of 66 years. Left to cherish his memory are his wife Angie; daughter Sonja (Jay Van Bavel) of New York City; two grandchildren Jack and Annie Van Bavel; two brothers Alex (Ann) Shute of Camrose, and Gerald (Marie) Shute of St. Albert; three sisters Shirley (Brian) Fairall of Camrose, Betty Marks of Camrose, and Sylvia Shute of Camrose; numerous nieces and nephews; and many beloved friends. Ken was born on August 26, 1947 in Camrose to George and Josephine Shute, and was raised on a family farm near Round Hill. Ken began his education at Dinant, and later attended Round Hill School. Upon graduation from Round Hill School, Ken moved to Edmonton and completed a diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT). Shortly thereafter, Ken moved to Ottawa to pursue a position with Bell Northern and, as fate would have it, met his future wife Angie Geisler. Ken and Angie were married on December 14, 1971, and made the move back to Alberta in 1972. To their great joy, their daughter Sonja joined the family in 1978. Upon returning to Alberta, Ken accepted a position with Alberta Government Telephones (later Telus) where he worked for over two decades. Throughout his life, Ken also worked on the family farm. He was, at heart, a farmer and joyfully spent much of his life on the farm surrounded by his brothers, sisters and extended family. Ken was also a very active member of the Round Hill Elks which includes some of his oldest and dearest friends. Ken enjoyed curling, traveling, great music, Kurt Vonnegut and a mean game of crib. Ken greatly valued his relationships with his family and friends, and everyone loved Ken; he had a wonderful smile, loved to laugh and was always quick to crack a joke. Ken had a kind heart, a generous spirit and a passion for adventure; he will be dearly missed. Ken was predeceased by his brothers Brian and Walter; sister Marion; and both parents George and Josephine. A Funeral Service was held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 24, 2014 from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Brian Hunter officiating. The family of Ken would like to say a special thank you to those involved in the service: Rev. Brian Hunter, the Round Hill Elks, Burgar Funeral Home, the Camrose Moose, and to all family and friends for their support. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Alzheimer Society of Alberta, St. Mary’s Hospital Palliative Care Unit or to Rosehaven Care Centre.

Chance to meet Snowbirds By Dan Jensen

You’ve seen what they can do in the air. Now you can see what they’re like on the ground. Members of the RCAF Snowbirds team will be meeting with the public as part of their visit to Camrose. A Snowbirds Maple Split Ice Cream Social will be held at the Camrose Airport starting at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 1. “It’s a chance to meet and greet the whole Snowbirds team and get your souvenirs autographed,” said organizer Jadene Mah. The “Maple Split” is a maneuver that is performed by the Snowbirds most significantly each Canada Day over Parliament Hill. “The Snowbirds Maple Split Ice Cream Social seemed appropriate,” said Mah. Tickets for the ice cream social, which is supported by Wild Rose Co-op, are available starting this week from OleoO’s Ice Cream Castle. The social will be followed at 9 p.m. by a Snowbirds presentation and a free outdoor “fly-in movie,” also at the airport. Kids of all ages are encouraged to fly their home built airplane creations into the airport for the chance to win prizes. The Snowbirds will be performing their flat show over Rudy Swanson Park starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2, and Big Valley Jamboree Sunday, Aug. 3. They will be signing autographs at the airport after each show. “We don’t do aerobatic maneuvers during the flat show because it (the show) involves flying over people and buildings” said captain Greg Mendes, a 16-year veteran of the RCAF who joined the Snowbirds last fall. “It is a more restricted show that doesn’t fully showcase what the Snowbirds are capable of doing, but it is still exciting and beautiful.” Viewers of the performance will also be able to listen to the chatter in the Snowbirds’ cockpits by tuning in to 98.1 CAM-FM. An aviation fair will be held at Hanger 14 at the Camrose airport from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 1, 2 and 3.

Snowbirds’ Mendes living a dream By Dan Jensen

Canadian Snowbirds pilot Captain Greg Mendes is living out a dream. “Being part of the Snowbirds is an amazing opportunity,” said Mendes, a 16 year veteran of the Royal Canadian Airforce who joined the iconic acrobatic flying team in the fall of 2013. “I love flying the (CT-114) Tutor jet.” The Tutor jet, which at one time was the main training aircraft for the Canadian forces, is a 51-year-old Canadian tradition. “I have always wanted to fly the Tutor,” said Mendes. “It is a very robust and simple aircraft to fly. We call it a little Porsche because it is like a little sports car.” Mendes is the Snowbirds’ 10th pilot, which means that he doesn’t actually get to perform in shows. “I am actually the pilot on the ground who observes the pilots and what they are doing,” he said. “If there are any safety issues I need to speak up to our team lead, the number one pilot.” He is also the team coordinator responsible for advance preparations. Snowbirds are required to have 500 hours of training in an ejection seat aircraft before they can even apply for a spot on the team. “They canvass in the fall for candidates to apply for the Snowbirds and then they usually take eight to 10 of them for tryouts in Moose Jaw during the February time frame,” said Mendes. “Over a period of about three weeks they fly in Tutors with current team members who do the assessments. They are placed in different scenarios where they fly in formation with other team members, do 120 degree banks with up to three times the force of gravity, and rejoins, where they are moving extremely fast and have to do some aggressive maneuvering.” Mendes said that while Snowbirds face risks when they are performing, that risk is mitigated through months of preparation. “I am asked if the flying is dangerous and I say no, because there is no reckless activity going on here. Before we even get into an aircraft we have to go through numerous training and safety courses. Then, before we actually fly, we have a period of briefing that covers every-

Captain Mendes joined the Snowbirds team in the fall of 2013. He is looking forward to meeting Camrose and area residents when the Snowbirds come to Camrose this weekend.

thing from how the aircraft taxis to the manoeuvres we will be doing during the flight. Once we are finished we usually use a videotape to debrief and critique the flying, something that can take up to an hour and a half for a forty minute flight.” Mendes said the current Snowbirds have a lot of trust in each other and are very focused on the task at hand. “I don’t think the ones who do the flying in the shows are nervous at all. They have been working together for eight months now doing the flight routine that they are doing right now and they know their skills and their weaknesses. They know every day the things that they have to work on.” The show the Snowbirds will be performing over Camrose Aug. 2 and 3 is called a flat show which is characterized by wraps rather than any aerobatic maneuvering. “We have four different

kinds of shows we do,” said Mendes. “There is a high show that has a lot of vertical maneuvers, including bursts, a low show, which we do when the cloud ceiling is below 1,500 feet and have a lot of lateral wraps, a nonaerobatic show, and a flat show. We don’t do aerobatic maneuvers in the flat show because it (the show) involves flying over people and buildings. It is a more restricted show that doesn’t fully showcase what the Snowbirds are capable of doing but it is still very exciting and beautiful.” Mendes grew up in Calgary, but remembers coming to Camrose several times as a youngster for soccer and wrestling tournaments and the Big Valley Jamboree. He joined the Canadian Forces in 1998 after completing his studies at the University of Calgary and has been working as a pilot ever since. “I did odd jobs while I was going to university like

construction and cooking but I never had a real career like this,” he said. “The Canadian military has been the major career for most of my life.” The Snowbirds are just over half way through a busy season that has taken them as far east as Newfoundland and as far south as Missouri, and has included a performance in Ottawa on Canada Day. After leaving Camrose they will perform in White Rock and Abbotsford, B.C., Bromont, Quebec, Greenwood, Nova Scotia, Moncton, New Brunswick, and Brantford and Toronto, Ontario. “It is going to be a busy second half of the season but the team is doing very well,” said Mendes. Snowbirds team members are usually replaced every two years. “It used to be a threeyear posting but they have moved it to two years,” said Mendes, “so every year half the team is replaced. We do have two individuals on the team however who have been on the team for four years and three years respectively, so there are times where the guys will stay an extra one or two years.” Mendes said one of his favourite things to do while he is on tour is meeting with people in different communities. “I often find that the smaller communities are the most interesting because you have more time to interact more intimately with the people than you do in the bigger cities. We are definitely looking forward to coming to Camrose and we think it is going to be a lot of fun.” The Snowbirds aerobatic team was formed in 1971 and received squadron status as 431 (Air Demonstration) Squadron in 1978. The team carries on a tradition of excellence established by the aerobatic teams of the RCAF’s earliest days, including the Siskins, flying Siskin IIA biplanes as a three-ship formation between 1929 and 1932, the Golden Hawks, flying their seven gold painted F-86 Sabre jets from 1959 to 1963, and the Golden Centennaires, flying their nine Canadian-built CT-114 Tutor aircraft. The 2014 season theme of the Snowbirds is To the Stars – Fuelled by Legacy.

Camrose residents learn about watershed By Amy Avdeeff, Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Coordinator

Camrose residents were treated to a presentation on the Battle River watershed, followed by an interactive tour, led by Nathalie and Erin from the Battle River Watershed Alliance, July 24. We learned the history of

the watershed and the role the BRWA plays, and how water quantity and quality has changed over time. The walking tour took us through the beautiful Stoney Creek valley where we identified various plants, and learned about the history of the land. This included the coal mine, the tannery,

and the native peoples who lived here. Nathalie and Erin also talked about the importance of skiing, and the early Scandinavian settlers. Lots of questions were asked, and we even came across some delicious Saskatoon berries. This week, the CWSS will be hosting ‘Beavers

and You’, a presentation by Dr. Glynnis Hood. She will highlight the importance of beavers, how their populations have changed over time, and how beavers and people can live together in harmony. This event will take place on Thursday, July 31, at 7 p.m. in the Stoney Creek Centre.

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.

Five way tie for Powerline By Murray Green

The unthinkable has happened. Five teams tied for first place in the Powerline Baseball League. With only four teams qualifying for playoffs, one of the first place teams would soon find itself out of the playoff picture despite having a 9-5 record. Armena Royals, Leduc Milleteers, Ryley Rebels, Beaumont Angels and the Holden Blue Jays all had the identical record when the season concluded on July 21. After the dust settled and the math was calculated, it was determined that Beaumont and Holden would play a one-game series to determine which club would advance to the semifinals to play the Armena Royals. Holden emerged as 5-2 winners of that playoff match and now take on Armena on July 29, and 31 if needed. The Blue Jays won the first game 3-1 on July 24. In the other semifinals, Ryley doubled Leduc 4-2 on July 22 and 5-1 on July 24 to advance to the final. The two winners advance to the championship series that will be played in early August.

Please be advised there will be road construction on Twp Rd 450 between Kelsey (Rge Rd 183) and Secondary Highway 854 starting August 5, 2014. Pidherney’s Inc. will mobilize and begin rebuilding the road at the West end of the project and progressing to the East. In conjunction with this road rebuild will be the repair of the bridge located between NE36-44-18-W4M and SE1-45-18-W4M. Completion of this total project is currently planned to be October 16, 2014. Due to this road reconstruction and bridge repair, Twp Rd 450 in this location shall be closed to all but local traffic for a large duration of this project. We apologize for any inconvenience this may pose, but appreciate your patience and understanding as this work is completed. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Camrose County Public Works at 780-672-4449.

War efforts of women to be honoured Continued from page 5

Following the signing of the Armistice, Fowlds returned to France in the winter of 1919, serving at Dax and Dunkirk, and travelling through Northern France en route to Germany. She also served in England for a time in the spring of 1919. On May 23, 1919 she sailed for Canada on the S.S. Megantic and continued to serve in hospitals in Toronto. Her official end of service came with the General Demobilisation on Oct. 31, 1920. Fowlds and her husband, Captain Gerald Marryat, settled at Ashfield House in Hastings, where she became a well-known historian and newspaper columnist. She passed away on June 16, 1965. Smith has written a book about Fowlds with information from Trent University in Ontario. “She had 200 letters that she had written home and her diaries were bequeathed to Trent University,” said Smith. Displays The tribute event will also feature a displays by Shirley Stagg, whose father served as a medical officer during the Second World War, as well as by others whose parents or grandparents had some connection to the wars. “We are going to have one showing the contributions to the war by the railways,” said Smith. “A lot of railway personnel built railways (using materials from disbandoned railways like Grand Trunk Pacific) which took troops and supplies to the front lines.” There will also be time for those in attendance to share their own personal stories. “We’re planning a good time of fellowship,” said Smith. “We’re encouraging people to dress in clothing that indicative of the First World War and Second World War eras.” The Camrose Railway Station will be serving homemade berry dessert. Popular event The Camrose Railway Station has been conducting tributes to prairie women each year for the last five years. “We have lots of books on the contributions made by different men, but women weren’t in the public eye as much and when you look at what they did you get a different perspective,” said Smith. “They were important to the development of the prairies as well.”

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, July 29, 2014 – Page 39

It’s lavender season in Japan By Brenda Knull, BRSD teacher

We are now in the midst of summer and all the wonders that come with it. It’s the time to eat as much fresh produce as possible. In this area, melons are a local specialty. Melons are what would commonly be referred to as cantaloupe. They can range in price from what someone would typically pay in Camrose all the way into the hundreds of dollars, and some have been sold in the thousands! You can even buy watermelons that are square and some that are black. The black (Densuke) watermelon melons originated in Hokkaido. The average selling price of one is generally around 25,000 yen ($250). I’ve found out that melons are so expensive because they are most commonly given to important people as gifts. Some people describe them as having the perfect taste and look. Fruit is a common giftgiving item here and because of that it is desirable to only give the best. Lavender is another local specialty and it’s a popular ice cream, called soft cream. Last year I was able to have an ice cream cone that was melon/ lavender swirl flavour. Delicious! You can see the purple flowers around town now. Nearly every other street is lined with lavender. You can track the growth of the lavender online too so you know

the best time to visit. I have a great view of the lavender field that is in Kamifurano since it grows in a green space called Hinode Park. It’s located across a field from my house and I can easily see lavender as I cook and wash dishes. There is no shortage of lavender products for sale here as well. Summer is a great time to enjoy festivals. You can eat, spend time with loved ones, sing karaoke, and watch performances and fireworks. Another main attraction of a festival that takes place near the middle to end of July is a series of large paper lanterns. I would say that they are what would be referred to as floats in a parade. Each lantern is constructed by the people of Kamifurano. They are covered with small paper squares and then are painted. Last July I arrived in Kamifurano just in time to attend their Sikisai festival. My senses were on overload as I took it all in. The mountains, flowers, people, food – everything was new to me. A group that resembled the Power Rangers performed on a stage in the park as did a group of taiko drummers. The energy and strength that comes from those drums shake me to my core each time I hear them. I remember thinking that this new place seems exciting and the people were incredibly kind to me from the get-go. Last year the town mascot, named

Laveton, made its debut. It’s a giant pig that wears a lavender coloured top hat and overcoat. Pork is another one of Kamifurano’s specialties. Laveton actually has a full profile complete with its birthday and hobbies. Last summer I was at the town train station when an elderly man approached me. He gestured that he would like to take a picture of me with a wooden Laveton. These are some of the memories that I have from here that make me think: “did that really happen or was it a dream?” And as I sit here adding my final touches to this article I realize that I have come full circle in this sister city overseas journey. Since I’ve been living in Kamifurano for almost 12 months I have been able to attend/participate in countless festivals and activities. I’ve accumulated memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. I have a good understanding of what to expect for the coming year. Of course there will be some surprises and more firsts along the way. For example, next month I plan to see some rice paddy art (tambo) for my first time. Tambo is an art form that originated in Japan. People plant rice of various colours and types to create giant pictures in a rice field. It looks remarkable!
