It’s the primary way the Camrose Swans & Roses Lions Club raises money for charitable endeavours.

Community clubs and service groups are increasingly creative when it comes to fund-raising. Money for worthwhile community projects is often scarce and there is never a shortage of great initiatives to assist.

The Camrose Swans & Roses Lions Club is an example of members thinking outside the box in order to raise money to fund projects that help our community as well as provide for international service projects.

Alberta education minister Jeff Johnson wants students in this province to receive a good learning experience.

The minister was on a tour of surrounding school boards and stopped in Camrose to meet with the Battle River School Division, as well as with Wetaskiwin and Ponoka school boards. "We get out regularly to visit the school boards. Camrose and some of the surrounding boards are ones I haven't spent time one on one with yet," said Mr. Johnson.

"Every community is different, so I'm gathering information, even though I know Camrose very well.

Each school is unique and this is an opportunity to listen to some of those challenges. To be able to come back to my old schools is a lot of fun."

Johnson went to the Camrose Composite High School and Augustana before moving on to politics. "I'm hearing some common themes right across Alberta.

Boards want to talk about the budget, ATA negotiations and capital projects. People want to know about modernization projects because of the budget. There are other pieces of information as well," said Mr. Johnson. "The school boards, the rural boards in particular, have done a really good job at exhausting all partnerships and using their dollars as wisely as they possibly can because decreasing enrollment in rural Alberta has impacted their budgets."

Minister Johnson wants to ensure rural education is sustainable. "We are trying to deliver equitable opportunities for children. They will never have the same opportunities as Edmonton or Calgary schools that have 3,000 students as we do with a rural school of 100 students, but we can keep our eye on the market and

try our best. It's something we need to focus on," said Mr. Johnson. "The most impactful things I have control over are equal opportunities and quality teaching. We need to continue to strive for excellence in the classroom and keep an eye on equal opportunities."

Small schools are not always at a disadvantage. "It is very difficult in smaller communities. But, you also have a greater opportunity to bring business partnerships together because everybody knows each other. You can tap into partnerships and tap into expertise," Mr. Johnson explained. "You can teach outdoor experiences that students in the big cities may

not get to explore. We need to look at the partnership possibilities of the communities we are in. That's different across Alberta. Today we have technology, through video conferencing, that can bring some of those things to the rural centres. We can still deliver quality education."

The education minister stressed that learning is more important than buildings. "One thing we learned is that we have to put the learning experience of a child before the building. If we have to close schools to deliver the best learning experience, most parents want that tough decision to be made."

Joint building project to support Community Foundation

By Dan Jensen

Zetsen Master Builders will be teaming up with a number of Camrose contractors and suppliers this spring and summer to support the community building efforts of Battle River Community Foundation.

The plan is to build a home in the Creekview subdivision using as much donated supplies and materials as possible and to then turn over, to the Foundation, profit that comes from the sale of the home.

"We have started the process of approaching people so they can go to their suppliers with requests for the materials," said Zetsen Master Builders owner Garry Zetsen.

"We are currently in discussion with the land developer regarding the acquisition of the lot."

The project aligns nicely with Battle River Community Foundation's goal of building the community.

"Building is what we do," said Zetsen. "We, along with the Foundation, enjoy the sense of permanency that comes from leaving something behind. There is a satisfaction that comes from being able to provide assistance for the long term."

Zetsen Master Builders has spearheaded three other home building projects – one for Bethany, one for St. Mary's Hospital CT scanner and one for Centra Cam Vocational Training Association – all with very good results.

"They have been total team efforts with everybody pulling together and contributing," said Zetsen. "It's not just the local contractors and suppliers who have donated but the national ones as well. Each time we have done this we have done better in going deeper into the supply chain.

With the last build, for example, we had Delta supply all the taps."

Zetsen Master Builders owners Kevin Lindholm and Garry Zetsen look at plans for the subdivision in which they will be building a house, with the support of local contractors and suppliers. All after-sales proceeds from the house will be donated to the Battle River Community Foundation. Zetsen Master Builders has spearheaded home building projects in support of Bethany, St. Mary's Hospital and Centra Cam Vocational Training Association, all with very good results.

While the economy is in a different state this time than it was during the last home build and there are more projects that are seeking support, Zetsen does not see any difficulties in getting all the necessary people to come on board.

"There is a big pool in Camrose and we are not all chasing the same guy to come up with the same contributions," said

Zetsen. "A supplier can choose one project over another and not necessarily hurt the other."

Zetsen Master Builders is currently looking at different configurations for the home and trying to decide which demographic it wants to target. A home that is targetted towards young families may look much different than one that is built for empty nesters who might lean towards more of

a walk-in shower and easy access to all areas.

"Demographics play an extremely important role in terms of deciding which model we build and in which area," said Zetsen. "Once we finalize the lot with the developer we can decide what kind of home we put on the lot."

The sale of the home built three years ago to assist Centra

Cam generated a donation of $90,000.

"Kevin (Lindholm, Zetsen Master Builders co-owner) and I are two very competitive people with sports backgrounds so we would like to beat that total, but at the same time we have to be realistic and realize that things are a little different this time," said Zetsen. "I think for sure we will be able to hit the $50,000 mark and possibly go even higher. It is a big goal and it is going to be a challenge but I think it is achievable."

Zetsen is happy that philanthropic individuals had the foresight, back in 1995, to establish a foundation that would help build strong communities in east central Alberta by creating permanent endowment funds where the donations would be invested and the income made available annually on an ongoing basis.

To date, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1,700,000 to various projects and initiatives.

"Thank goodness there is a foundation like that to which we can contribute," he said. "We are looking forward to working with the Battle River Foundation in a way that will help them reach their goals and us to reach ours."

Battle River Community Foundation board chair Blain Fowler said Garry Zetsen and Kevin Lindholm of Zetsen Master Builders have always been strong supporters of the Battle River Community Foundation.

He added that everyone on the board is absolutely thrilled that the Foundation will be the beneficiary of their next charity construction project.

"Together with participating local tradesmen and their suppliers of building materials, Kevin and Garry are true community builders in every respect. Once again, we are impressed with the people who live in our caring and generous community."

Community Transportation Advisory Committee presents report

By Dan Jensen

A recommendation from the ad hoc Community Transportation Advisory Committee that the City of Camrose initiate a two-year community transportation service pilot project based on two buses servicing a single loop has been referred by City council to committee of the whole for further discussion.

"Council needs the opportunity to go through this," said Mayor Marshall Chalmers following the presentation of a longawaited and detailed Community Transportation Advisory Committee report Jan. 21. "We need to drill down and ask the tough questions. At some point it will come back to City council for a decision."

The Community Transportation Advisory Committee believes that public transportation should be considered a public service for the community, not unlike City facilities such as the swimming pool or golf course, which it says are not financially self-sustainable yet enjoy a considerable public subsidy.

"The public at large pays for the deficits of these facilities regardless of whether or not they use them," said the report's executive summary. "A transit service would be funded and used

by the public in a similar manner. Furthermore, it is a role of any government to fund needed services that the private sector cannot or will not provide. Public transportation is highly unlikely to be undertaken as a private initiative because it does not generally produce a profit in any community, regardless of size. As such, government is not in competition with private enterprise in the provision of public transportation, but rather fulfills its proper role in society."

Community Transportation Advisory Committee spokesperson Garth Horton told council the public transportation system being recommended would be aimed mostly at seniors, low income earners, and students.

"A lot of our seniors don't drive, don't have their own vehicles, and their mobility is limited," said Horton. "We also have a large number of students at Augustana who are looking for some kind of public transportation system to carry them throughout Camrose, to the west end for shopping, to do business or hit some of the clubs."

The public transportation route outlined by the committee includes adult living complexes, seniors' lodges, Augustana Campus, and low income

neighbourhoods, as well as Cornerstone Mall, Duggan Mall, St. Mary's Hospital, the Smith and Gemini Clinics, blood clinic, downtown main street and the library.

The estimated time between bus stops would be 16 to 18 minutes.

"We had people go around the route, time it with stops, to see how long it would take," said Horton.

The route does not include any stops north of the tracks.

"The railway tracks cause issues for buses for timetables, that sort of thing," said Horton.

The preferred choice of the committee for the type of vehicles used are low-rider, 24-passenger buses suitable for Camrose streets and residents. The committee believes that the low rider option would allow for easy access for motorized buggies and those with limited mobility.

The committee is projecting an estimated annual ridership of between 77,548 and 99,705, and an average fare of $2. It estimates an annual operating cost of $443,132, and an annual net deficit of between $243,722 and $288,035. The hours of operation being recommended are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays to Fridays and a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

"Our idea is that the City purchase the buses, maintain the buses and contract out the driving and scheduling," said Horton.

The committee anticipates that revenue will be collected from advertising at bus stops, which would not be permanent fixtures while the transit system is operating as a pilot scheme.

The idea is to equip the stops with bench seating if the bus service becomes fully operational.

Horton said the committee met with the taxi companies and received the impression that public transportation would not impact their service very much.

Horton noted that the committee looked at economic benefits that would result from a public transportation service, including access to shopping, and the increased likelihood that businesses or industries would locate to Camrose if there was a system that could provide affordable transportation to the people that work there.

On the environmental side, he said that the buses use the same fossil fuels as motorized vehicles but they do it at a lower rate.

"Environmentally conscious citizens would have access to public

transportation. We would be reducing our environmental footprint."

The committee examined public transportation systems in such smaller communities as Hinton, Cold Lake, Pinecrest, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Yorkton and Kenora. The Dial-A-Bus concept was ruled out due to the fact it has a higher attached cost than a system that has a fixed route.

"Airdrie tried it and it was a disaster for them, so they went to a fixed route," said Horton. "The great thing about a fixed route is that it is a conventional service. It is a standard transit system with a public timetable and published routes, and the vehicles are all the same size."

Councillor Daryl Shillington commended the committee on the thoroughness of its report but expressed concerns as to the sustainability of a transit system considering the struggles that are being faced by the Rose City Handivan Society, and questioned whether there was any potential for having other services overlap. He was informed by committee chair Brandon Blatz that the Rose City Handivan Society was not interested when asked if it had any interest in expanding its level of service.

Incoming Chamber president looking forward to new year

By Dan Jensen

Jenn Filip will be installed as the new president of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce Feb. 6.

Filip has been working with the Chamber of Commerce for the betterment of the Camrose business community since her election as a director 2009. Over the past year she has served as first vice president, as well as member of the agriculture, policy and government affairs, small business week and corporate Christmas party committees.

Filip considers herself fortunate to be surrounded by a good team.

"Our new directors seem to be keen to learn and get involved with the different committees we have in the Chamber," said Filip.

"We had a meeting this morning

and there was a lot of enthusiasm around the table."

Filip is excited about the recently launched Chamber of Commerce website.

"It's going to be a good way to get the message out about what we are doing and will be a way for our members to promote themselves," said Filip.

"The membership committee sees it as another tool we can use to attract new members."

Filip believes the Camrose Chamber has a lot to offer in terms of networking and training opportunities.

"We have a strong lineup of educational programming, starting with the speaker series in February," she said, "and have networking breakfasts that have been scheduled right through to

June. The networking opportunities are particularly beneficial to those who are new to the community and are wanting to know more about the programs and services that are being offered both by businesses and organizations."

While her focus is mostly local, Filip will also be working with other Chambers in 2013 to develop policies for presentation to the provincial government, which recognizes Alberta Chambers as reputable and leading authorities on business matters.

"I am looking forward with ideas that will help better the entire Alberta business community," she said.

Filip will be joined on the 2013 Chamber executive by first vice president, Tanya Fox,

and second vice president Tony Metivier. Directors who have twoyear terms are Tom Chelmick, Sebastien D'Eschambeault, Julie Girard, Jason Heise, Tracey Leibel, and Greg Sharp. Directors who have one-year terms are Christine Dietz, Ashley Morton, Luke Norrie, Paul Pedersen, Debbie Thompson, and Kim Turre.

Non-voting directors are Sharon Anderson (executive director), Camrose County councillor Doug Lyseng, and City of Camrose economic development officer Ray Telford. The Camrose Chamber of Commerce past president is Dawn Anderson.

The annual general meeting of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition Feb. 6.

Food drive for Camrose Open Door starts Feb. 1

By Dan Jensen

The timing has changed but

the concept is essentially the same.

The Chuck MacLean Arts Centre will be conducting a Food From the Heart drive to collect food and basic living essentials for the Camrose Open Door Association during the month of February.

Items may be dropped off at the Arts Centre from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

The Chuck MacLean Arts Centre has been conducting food drives for the Camrose Open Door Association for the last nine Decembers, with groups and organizations using the centre competing to see which can raise the most. While the response has been very positive, there have been cases where people have forgotten in their rush to get everything done in time for Christmas.

"We thought that maybe Christmas wasn't the best time because there are so many people asking for things," said Camrose Arts Director Jane Cherry-Lemire.

The month of February was felt to be a better time because of the association with love and Valentine's Day. "We wanted to see if we could extend that spirit throughout the entire month," said Cherry-Lemire.

While the drive will still involve a friendly competition amongst user groups, the donations will be accepted from anyone.

A wish list of what is needed will be posted on the Arts Centre's front door. Items

Jane Cherry-Lemire and Randal Nickel with the hearts that will be posted on the walls of the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre during the food drive.

of the greatest need include single serving packaged foods like granola bars or puddings, microwavable soups, and juice boxes.

"Generally we are working with youth with limited cooking facilities and/or experience even in taking the ingredients to make something," said Camrose Open Door executive

director Randal Nickel. "Something like this allows us to provide that and fill the gaps."

Nickel is always amazed at how fast the food that the Open Door receives disappears.

"In terms of demand for services we have found that February and March to be very busy, the same with October

and November. We watch the shelves empty progressively as time goes on so an event like this allows us to restock and get ready again for the people who need the support."

Camrose Open Door Association's outreach program supports for about 150 youth a year, including between 45 and 60 who need support with housing, which is provided in the former Gardner College dormitories.

Those who require supportive housing are provided with food, drink, a bed, bathroom, closet space, and a secure living environment.

"The Camrose Open Door aims to provide an environment where youth feel comfortable and secure," states the Open Door website. "Outreach makes an effort to set up appointments with youth at risk. The Camrose Open Door provides counselling sessions with onsite counsellors. Our counsellors provide support to youth, families and other community members."

Cherry-Lemire hopes the Food From the Heart drive will raise awareness about the issue of homelessness in Camrose and help them understand the limited options that youth sometimes face.

"A lot of people don't even realize that it (homelessness) exists. If you have ever seen the movie Conversations with God you will know how hard it is to get out of a homeless situation. He (the movie character) is trying to get a job but he has nowhere to bathe, no phone."

In some cases, homelessness

and living on the street is simply a matter of youth choosing the lesser of two evils.

"Nobody has the goal in life to be homeless but there are various things that happen in life," said Nickel. "You have to wonder what kind of situation they were in if they chose life on the street as being better than where they were. Maybe there were choices that pushed a person in that direction but there are other factors that come into it as well."

Nickel said there are severe consequences that come from homelessness and having to bounce from place to place.

"It has devastating impacts on health and well-being, self esteem and the ability to keep employment or go to school."

The Chuck MacLean Arts Centre will be hanging paper hearts on its walls during the Food from the Heart drive featuring comments from the youth the Camrose Open Door Association has helped. Two examples are "The Open Door counsellor has been a real life saver," and "Being homeless, what kind of choice is that?"

"We'll be putting them all over the place so that people will have an idea of what they are supporting," said CherryLemire.

Food From the Heart will wrap up with a thank you night which will be held at the Arts Centre Feb. 28, starting at 6:00 p.m. Cafe Connections, a subsidiary of the Camrose Open Door, will provide heart shaped cookies, coffee and juice.

Tim McGraw to close out 2013 version of Big Valley Jamboree

By Murray Green

It's only fitting that Panhandle Productions hired country superstar Tim McGraw to close out the Big Valley Jamboree, Aug. 4. After all, coming in to close when the pressure is high is a family tradition.

McGraw replaced Lady Antebellum when lead singer Hillary Scott announced she is expecting her first child and will not be able to travel and perform this summer.

McGraw's famous father

Frank "Tug" McGraw was a Major League Baseball closer for 19 years with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.

He saved the day for his team 180 times during the regular season and recorded the final out in 1980 to give the Phillies its first World Series. Tug was also a member of the 1969 World Series winning Mets.

The singer known for his high electric country sound and energetic performances was in Camrose in 1997. With more

than 40 million album sales and plenty of concerts, he has polished himself as an artist who crosses the boundaries of country music at times. His influences into rock, hip-hop, and bluegrass have shown up in his latest album, Two Lanes of Freedom, which is a testament to his growth as a musician.

Alberta singer Terri Clark will also be returning for her third performance at the Jamboree with songs from her new

album Classic, along with all the classics. She last appeared in Camrose in 2006.

Johnny Cash's daughter Rosanne Cash will be hitting the main stage at the Big Valley Jamboree for the first time.

She earned 11 number one singles and her own spot amongst country stars.

Jerrod Niemann was added to the Kick-off Party on Aug. 1. He will join headliner Neal McCoy. On Friday, the Abrams

Brothers, Cash and Alan Jackson have been scheduled for the main stage.

Bobby Wills, Small Town Pistols, Rodney Atkins and headliner Luke Bryan highlight the acts on Saturday.

Aaron Lines, Clark, Big and Rich and McGraw are set for the final day.

More acts will be announced as they are confirmed. For more information or to order tickets, call 1-888-404-1234 or visit BigValleyJamboree.com.

Transportation report Continued from page 4

Committee member Mark Chytracek told council that Augustana students appear to be very interested in paying the extra money to access a transportation service, similar to the pass system that is used on the north campus.

Councillor Howard said the time is right for council to drill down into the numbers associated with a pilot public transportation service.

"Pilot projects only have two inherent dangers to me. One is that they succeed and we just keep going, and the other is that

they fail but at least we know the answer to a question that is no longer theoretical but practical.

I don't think we are ever really going to answer the question that is before us in the presentation of theoretical reports. That is not a condemnation of the report, it is actually a celebration of what we have got, because I think we have more information now than we had before as a council in order to move forward. But the reality is any report that we receive will still be theoretical until it is put to the test. I think this gives us a background to move it in that direction."

UESTIONS ? ? ?

Q. A:

How do I choose the right wallcoverings 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.

See your local expert, Dion Currie at Wideman Paint and Décor about selecting and installing the window coverings that are right for you.

Q.

What kind of gasoline is best for my vehicle?

A:

Co-op’s regular unleaded gasoline is blended in both summer and winter grades for the convenience of Co-op customers.

The winter grade is lighter than the summer grade to allow for easier starting in cold temperatures. The adjustment between summer and winter grades is made at the Co-op’s own refinery as the seasons change. The difference between the two grades is not critical during the changeover period. A summer grade regular unleaded gasoline will perform normally in colder temperatures, although in extremely cold conditions engine starting may be hindered if summer gasoline is used.

Regular unleaded Co-op gasoline is blended with many additives. Several benefits are achieved by these additives. They include: 1. Cleans carburetors, injectors, intake valves and keeps them clean.

2. Prevents stalling due to carburetor icing.

3. Protects fuel system against corrosion.

4. Controls moisture in the fuel system.

5. Helps keep positive crankcase ventilation systems clean.

6. Prevents oxidation of the product during storage.

7. Reduces the “knock” due to self-ignition.

Q.

Do I have a choice where my vehicle’s body repairs are done?

A:

The short answer is “yes, you can choose where you take your vehicle for collision repairs.”

You have a choice because the customer is always right, which is the underlying foundation of every successful business. When you first contact your insurance company with a claim, you may be steered to the insurance company’s preferred collision repair centre. This happens for a variety of reasons.

Sometimes the reason is as simple as “that’s the way we’ve always done it.”

But, more and more, auto insurance companies are realizing that there’s a real difference between autobody shops. They realize that to provide the best service to their policy holders, they need to look at these repair shops.

They’re taking a closer look at the collision centre’s operations, the customer service, the quality of repairs, the turnaround time – all significant factors in determining where a client is directed to go.

However, as stated earlier, the customer definitely has a choice, which is why The Auto Shoppe’s level of growth during the past five years has increased significantly.

Customers are taking their vehicles to The Auto Shoppe. They like the clean friendly atmosphere.

They like the respect they receive, the open communication, the fairness and, of course, the quality of the work. The next time you need collision repair service, call the Auto Shoppe. It’s a very good choice.

Q. A:

How can I improve my immune system during cold and flu season?

Two supplements that people find very helpful are Echinacea and Oil of Oregano.

Echinacea Echinacea is one of the most popular herbs in North America today. Archaeologists have found evidence that people may have used this plant as early as 400 years ago to treat infections, wounds and as a general cure-all. Today people use Echinacea to shorten the duration of the common cold and flu, and reduce symptoms of sore throat, cough and fever.

Many herbalists also recommend Echinacea to boost the immune system and to help the body fight infections.

Oil of Oregano The ancient Greeks were one of the first people to recognize this oil for it’s health benefits and medicinal qualities. It is known to be a potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic oil that can reduce pain and inflammation and effectively fight off infections.

Some of the specific benefits of Oil of Oregano are: • Destroying organisms that contribute to skin infections and digestive problems • Strengthening the immune system • Increasing joint and muscle flexibility • Improving respiratory health This is a very popular product and people find it to be very effective.

DOWNTOWN EASTSIDE 48 Ave. and 51 St. 48 Ave. and 39 St. 780.672.8683 780.672.3108

How do I make my car last longer?

A:

With the economy on the rebound after the country’s worst financial times in decades, many a smart vehicle owner is looking to get more bang for their vehicle buck. In lieu of quick trade-ins, more and more vehicle owners are applying the lessons they learned from the recession to their vehicles and trying to make their purchases last longer.

Today’s vehicles are designed with long-lasting reliability in mind, making it easier for vehicle owners to get more and more out of their vehicle purchase. To do just that, consider the following tips: • Find a repair shop that suits your needs. Motorists often cite the difficulty in finding a reliable mechanic they feel they can trust. A courteous staff that’s willing to answer your questions is a good starting point. Also, check the shop walls for any past commendations, including civic, community or customer service awards.

• Give your engine a break. Cars aren’t all that different from the human body in that everything is directly or indirectly connected as a system. Just like a body can overcompensate in one area when another area is injured, a car’s engine will be forced to overcompensate when there are deficiencies in other areas. Motorists can give their engine a break by replacing clogged filters, sticking to their vehicle maintenance schedule and routinely checking fluid levels.

Q. A:

What is the difference between Laminate and Hardwood floors?

There is no right or wrong choice. Lifestyle, decorating taste, care and maintenance all will influence which flooring best suits your needs.

Laminate: The surface of laminate is very hard and durable. It does not dent, scratch or stain as easily as hardwood floors. That is why Laminate is a great option for households with children and pets.

Laminate comes in many diverse looks – glossy, weathered, long planks, wide planks, narrow planks – or made to look like tile or natural stone. It comes in a wide variety of colors making it very functional in many rooms of your home.

Most Laminate floors don’t require glue or nails to be installed. Most can be left as a floating floor. This makes installation less difficult for the “do-it-yourselfer.” Laminate does not absorb sound as well as wood flooring, which causes an “echo” effect. This, however, can be minimized by having a higher quality acoustic barrier installed. Laminate is a good, cost-effective flooring.

Hardwood: Hardwood floors are rich and inviting and bring instant beauty to any home. Its elegant look and warmth add character and depth. Having hardwood in your home can also add to its re-sale value. Hardwood is more versatile than ever, but it is important to monitor the humidity in your home as the wood will expand and contract. Over the years solid wood floors can be sanded and refinished if necessary.

Consumer demand for hardwood floors is continuously growing, along with the manufacturer’s ability to produce top quality construction and finishes. There is nothing quite like the natural beauty of hardwood.

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

The Camrose Senior Society is an organization for people over 50 years of age. The Society's office is located at the Mirror Lake Centre, 5415-49 Avenue, Camrose, AB, T4V ON6. The building is leased by the Society from the City of Camrose.

The executive of the Society consists of Wilf Maertens-Poole, president; Bernie Boser, vice president; Rose Snopek, treasurer; and Iris Baker, secretary.

Society meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month, excluding July and December.

There are over 361 members to date and the number keeps growing.

The Senior Society offers a variety of activities to members. These include Wednesday and Thursday bridge, cribbage, canasta, to name some of the card activities; plus dance clubs: the Rose City Square Dance Club, the Wednesday Night Dance Club, and the Camrose Wild Rose Dance Club. Activities also include a billiards club, shuffleboard, floor curling, pickle ball and table tennis, the Golden Tones, Alberta 55 Plus Club and scrabble. The

Camrose Polka Fest is held at the Mirror Lake Centre also, in May of each year. Most of these clubs hold tournaments throughout the year and people from all areas come to take part.

The Senior Society office hours are from 10 a.m. to noon from Monday to Friday. Members of the clubs volunteer their time attending the reception desk. Most activities take place from Monday to Friday, with the exception of the Wild Rose Dance Club, which is held on the first and third Saturday of each month, and the Polka Fest which is held the last Friday and Saturday of May. If you are looking for fun and good friends, become a member. The price of membership is $15 per year, and it entitles one to join any activity one chooses. Some clubs have a small fee as well to pay for some of their expenses.

For more information, call the Mirror Lake Centre during office hours at 780-672-7022, or visit website at www.camroseseniorcentre.com for schedules and activities.

Seniors' Chat Abuse of Older Adults Sam stops to check on his Dad, a widower living alone but, as he leaves, Sam unhooks the television and takes it with him to pawn for cash that he will use for gambling.

Mary wishes she was able to call her sister, but her phone was disconnected last month when her adult daughter told her she didn’t need a phone and refused to help her pay her outstanding bill.

Arthur has recently been feeling weak and confused and doesn’t know what the new medicines are that his caregiver insists he take.

Jean’s daughter threatened to put her in an institution if she didn’t sign some legal documents. Jean didn’t know what the documents were and was too scared to ask before she signed them.

Belle has stopped going out to play cribbage on Tuesdays, saying she is “having problems at home.”

What do these scenarios have in common? They all have warning signs that warrant concern for the older adult’s well-being. Each of these stories may indicate elder abuse.

Elder abuse describes a pattern of abusive behaviors within a relationship of intimacy, dependency, or trust.

The intent of the abuse is to

gain power and control and to induce fear. Abusive behavior can take many forms including verbal, emotional, physical, sexual, psychological, spiritual, economic, violation of rights, and neglect.

When actions or inactions raise concern for the well-being of a senior, it is important that someone gain a clear picture of what is happening, to determine if the senior needs assistance.

Without help, a senior experiencing abuse may be unable to put a stop to it. A caring neighbor, family member, clergy, hair stylist, or anyone else with a relationship with the senior is in a position to support a senior to connect with an appropriate source of help.

In Camrose, a large group of agencies and organizations that serve seniors has created a plan to ensure a consistent and effective response when elder abuse is suspected.

Training is being delivered locally to equip people who work with seniors, so that our community can be made safer for seniors.

No one should have to be afraid in their own home. If you or someone you know is living in a situation that might be abusive, you can call the Family Violence Action Society at (780)672-0141 for more information.

Safety for seniors

In 2004, the 75+ age group represented six per cent of the Canadian population, which translates to approximately 1,928,000 people. This group should be given particular attention for two reasons: a certain degree of independence raises self-esteem and seniors who remain independent for longer periods of time are a boon to our overworked healthcare system.

Facing up to winter

Even though people love winter, this season makes moving around more difficult, both by car and by foot. Walking in the wintertime does, unfortunately, lead to falls, which can have serious consequences for seniors.

Removable metal grips for shoes and boots appeared on the market a few years ago and they have proven very effective.

A walking stick adapted to the user’s height, with an ice pick fixed to the end, can help them maintain their balance on icy surfaces. This solution may seem bizarre, but it works very well!

Hip protectors (underwear fitted with protective padding), can be quite effective in preventing fractures in case of a fall.

Mokry Blues Project ready to entertain

By Murray Green

The Mokry brothers turned a love of music into a passion for entertaining on stage.

They have quickly refined the sounds of their high school days to a mature blend of historic blues with this band. The Camrose boys have reached the level of standing as a solo act, and you won't be disappointed.

The Mokry Blues Project consists of instrumentalists Aaron Mokry on guitar, Brad Mokry on drums, and Curtis Mokry on bass. Pushing the band to a new level is vocalist Tanner Neff, who is a natural fit to the already tight rhythm section. The Mokry brothers have been jamming together ever since they picked up their respective instruments.

They have all been featured in numerous events the past few years in a variety of different groups, as well as together.

Winners of the 2010 Martha's Music Battle of the Bands, this band continues to improve. The Mokry Blues Project has been working hard for Tuesdays Bluesdays at the Bailey Theatre, on Jan. 29.

The Frozen Rose Blues Festival is back with an all-star cast of musicians.

Some of the area's best blues artists will be converging on stage of the Bailey Theatre. The format will feature two days of great music by several bands. On the final day, a huge jam session will create a buzz with all of the top artists on stage enjoying performing together.

The doors open at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 1, with Rev K opening the festival. Rev K (Kerry Klontz) was born and raised in Alberta and is a singer songwriter. He performs original folk blues music.

Now residing in Wetaskiwin, his passion is to connect with people through his music.

Next up is the Black Hyenas.

Musicians from various points along Highway 13 made up the band that strips the blues down to the bare bones. The hillbillies style of blues is both energetic and entertaining.

The Bloozhounds is a threepiece high energy blues band that brings us cover shots from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago.

Local legend Curtis Bessette on guitar and vocals is supported by Darwin Reddekopp on bass and Jeff Nyback on drums.

Marshall Lawrence, a Maple Blues Award nominee and Canadian Independent Music Award nominee is next.

Marshall performs acoustic slide and finger-style blues and roots with a genuine blues feel. His fourth CD House Call is scheduled to be released early this year and local fans will be able to hear a few cuts from his latest project.

The evening will wind up with the popular Overdue Blues Band. It was created from a dynamic musical partnering from a local jam in 2011. An instant connection of seasoned veterans gave this band a polished sound right from the start.

These headliners shouldn't be missed by blues fans.

Saturday will feature two great shows. An unplugged version of the blues with plenty of acoustics will be launched at 1 p.m.

Blackpool, a duo from the Pigeon Lake area, will start things off. Band members Trevor Payne and Robert Kochan have played together in various bands for more than 20 years. They blend electric folk roots and blues.

Curtis Bessette returns for a solo performance and is followed

by Jenie Thai.

Born in Thailand but raised near Edmonton, Jenie hits the stage hard with her energetic sound and engaging presence. She grew up listening to the sounds of blues and folk. Her training on piano began at age five and continued with lessons for 15 years.

Minister Olson presents Diamond Jubilee Medals

By Dan Jensen

Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA and Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson presented Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals to Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers, City councillor Gerry Galenza, and Camrose Police Service members Lee Foreman and Lorne Blumhagen at City Hall on Jan. 21.

"These are four great Canadians," said Olson. "They have been serving the community and the province and are eminently suitable to be recognized with this medal."

Mayor Chalmers

Mayor Chalmers joined the Camrose Police Service at the age of 21 in 1976, and, after advancing through the ranks, was appointed Deputy Chief of Police in 1992 and Chief of Police in 1999. He served as president of the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police for five years, and was director to the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police for two years. He retired from policing after serving the citizens of Camrose for 31 years and became an associate with Pitsec & Associates as a consultant on projects related to municipal services.

Mayor Chalmers has been awarded the Canadian Exemplary Service Medal, the Alberta Law Enforcement Long Service Medal, the Alberta Centennial Medal, and the Canadian Exemplary Service Bar. He has also been awarded the Order of Merit from the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean, former Governor General of Canada.

Mayor Chalmers was elected mayor of the City of Camrose in 2010. He currently serves on the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association's Safe and Healthy Communities Standing Committee, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Association's Standing Committee on Community Safety and Crime Prevention and the Standing Committee on Social Economic Development.

Mayor Chalmers is married

to Debbie and has four grown children.

Councillor Galenza Councillor Galenza was born and raised in Camrose.

After graduating from pharmacy he returned to Camrose in 1962 and purchased and operated Groves' Value Drug Mart, and later, Gerry Galenza Dispensary with his wife, Sandi. He then semi-retired and sold his pharmacies to his son, Barry, and daughter-in-law, Janet, both of whom are pharmacists.

Councillor Galenza has served as president of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce, the Kinsmen Club of Camrose and the Camrose Golf Club. He is a life member of the Camrose Kinsmen Club, the governing board of St. Mary's Hospital, the East Central Health Authority, and the Alberta Catholic Health Corp. He is currently completing his seventh three-year term on Camrose City council and serves on the Camrose Police Commission, Camrose Regional Exhibition Board, and Subdivision and Development Appeal Board.

Councillor Galenza was awarded the Alberta Centen-

nial Medal in 2005 in recognition of outstanding service to the people and province of Alberta. He received an Alberta Urban Municipalities Association outstanding service award in November, 2009, for dedicated service to his community.

Councillor Galenza is married to Sandi, with whom he has four grown children and numerous grandchildren.

Lee Foreman Lee Foreman has completed 30 years of exemplary service as a member of the Camrose Police Service, and since Jan. 6 of this year has held the rank of Deputy Chief.

Foreman has served in several areas of the Police Service throughout his career. Since 2008 he has held the leadership role of Inspector and is responsible for professional development and professional standards for the organization.

Foreman has been associated with several community groups and has volunteered countless hours for various fundraisers and organizations. He is currently involved in several provincial committees that are

developing the future of policing in the province.

Foreman was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his meritorious service and commitment to the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, the Camrose Police Service, and the citizens of Camrose.

Lorne Blumhagen A 20-year member of the Camrose Police Service, Lorne Blumhagen currently holds the rank of Sergeant in charge of the Major Crimes Unit, overseeing criminal investigations and crime reduction teams.

His leadership has led to significant enhancements in the areas of crimes against persons and drug related offences.

Over the course of his career he has excelled in many areas of the service, including being credited with the successful initiation and implementation of the School Resource Officer program. He is also currently involved in several provincial committees which set standards for the future of policing in the province.

Blumhagen has been a con-

sistent and loyal volunteer supporter of all Camrose Police Service community projects. He was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his meritorious service and commitment to the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police, the Camrose Police Service and the citizens of Camrose.

Olson said while all four medal recipients have made great personal sacrifices to serve the community, they haven't done it in a vacuum.

"They have families at home and their families have also made great sacrifices. I would also like to thank their families for their contributions."

The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the Throne as Queen of Canada. The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At the same time, it serves to honour significant contributions and achievements

by Canadians.

Draft plan for airport identifies runway as top priority

By Dan Jensen

The rehabilitation of all airfield pavement has been identified as a top priority in a draft master plan for the Camrose airport.

"You are overdue for an upgrade," said LPS Avia Consulting president Ted Lennox, who presented the draft at City council's Jan. 21 committee of the whole meeting. "Air side pavements, asphalt pavements, tend to last 12 to 15 years. Yours have gone 20. There has been a lot of crackfilling and a lot of good maintenance done, but there comes a point where maintenance can't hold it anymore."

The draft estimates that the total costs of infrastructure improvements required at the airport in the next five years, not including management, professional fees or contingencies, is $3.5 million.

Acting general manager Engineering Services Jeremy Enarson told council that the costs of overlays on the runway and taxiways are generally covered by government grants.

"Costs that are not eligible are any of the city survey time, any of our work, but what we have seen on past applications from other municipalities in the province is a large portion of the costs for the runway overlay are actually covered, and are eligible under provincial grants."

Enarson indicated he wasn't aware of any grants that are available for the lighting system upgrades at the airport.

"It is not required in the next year or two but it is definitely something we should be looking at in the longer term."

The draft master plan also recommends the preparation and servicing of development lots over the short term with water and sanitary sewer, and, in the long term, expansion of Apron 1, construction of a taxiway, further preparation of development lots, the construction of additional access roads, and the extension of site servicing to new developments.

"The Camrose Airport currently provides 25 development

lots available for long-term lease," states an executive summary of the draft. "Recent lease lot absorption suggests that all of these lots will be occupied in the very near future. The preparation of lots for both recreational and commercial users is required in the short term to meet anticipated demand."

The draft contains revenue and expenditure forecasts which demonstrate that, with additional revenue sources, the airport could move towards financial self sufficiency over time and become less reliant on city funding.

"The airport is currently operated with significant financial support from the City," states the summary. "Analysis suggests that the airport has not been collecting operating revenues to the greatest potential in recent years."

The draft's summary notes that the City's strategic position affords many roles for the airport, including acting as a potential point of service for local commuter air services, a base for charter aircraft operations and

light training activities, a base for corporate and private aircraft owners and operators, and recreational flying and general aviation support. It also notes that if scheduled air service were to commence, the likelihood of demand exceeding the capacity of a small commuter aircraft within the long-term planning horizon is low.

"The Citation XLS, a midsize business jet, is currently operated by at least one private charter company serving Camrose. It is reasonable to assume that the XLS+ or an aircraft of similar size and performance will be used at Camrose Airport over the 20 year planning period and is therefore recommended as the design aircraft."

The summary states that the airport lacks an air traffic control tower or a flight service station to accurately monitor activity.

"The airport operations databases understate the true level of activity. In 1996, the Alberta Department of Transportation evaluated the devolution of 18

airports from the province to the municipalities. The study indicated that the true level of local movements be estimated at twice the number of reported movements. Actual itinerant movements were estimated to be as much as six times the level of reported movements. These factors were applied to the raw aircraft operations count to generate a base of true historic traffic."

The development of a master plan for the airport will assist the City in identifying existing infrastructure needs that are or will be in need of attention, as well as identify possible expansion opportunities to assist the City in seeing better utilization of the airport through increased aircraft traffic and/or fuel sales.

Feedback on the plan from City council, the Camrose Airport Commission, adjacent landowners, airport tenants and the general public will be incorporated into a final document that will be presented to City council for approval.

Selling Yourself Short How to Stand Out Without Lowering Your Price

By Jeff Mowatt Is what you do for a living perceived by potential customers as being a mere commodity; more or less the same as others in your profession? When that happens, customers revert to the easiest differentiator – price. The outlook gets worse as you realize that somewhere in the global economy there is likely someone offering similar products or services for a cheaper price. And with the internet it’s easier for your customers to find them. What’s most frustrating is when you know your products and services are indeed different, but customers don’t seem to get that and put you in the same category as everyone else.

The good news is you can change customer perceptions by changing the way you describe what you do. Interestingly, when I discuss this in my speeches and seminars, participants will often write to me afterwards explaining this is one of the most useful tips they picked-up. Your goal is to have a potential customer thinking, “If I don’t explore this further with this person, I could be missing a good thing.”

Your own worst enemy How would you describe what it is that you do for a living? Most of us automatically commoditize our job. We say, “I’m an insurance broker,” or “I’m a personal financial advisor.” Imagine meeting a potential customer at an industry luncheon and giving that type of label to what you do. The words “I’m a…” imply that there are other people who do exactly what you do.

In other words you sabotage your uniqueness with your first two words.

Be a pain reliever Rather than describing yourself in terms of a generic label, you can instead refer to the ultimate benefit that you deliver. If you sell liability insurance for example, you could describe your service in terms of reducing risk for business owners. Keep in mind, there are two ways to describe benefits. One is the pleasure gained and another is the pain avoided. A financial advisor for example, might describe her service as “helping people retire in comfort” (pleasure gained). Or she could describe what she does as “preventing people from having to work until they die because they can’t afford to retire” (pain avoided). Interestingly, when it comes to spending money sooner rather than later, customers are more often motivated by avoiding pain than gaining pleasure.

Of course, the idea in conversation with a potential customer is not to ramble

Growing communities one idea at a time.

on about what you do – that sounds boorish and pushy.

Instead, say only enough to tweak the other person’s curiosity. Imagine you are a hair stylist attending a chamber of commerce event. When someone asks what you do for a living you could reply with the generic, “I’m a hair stylist.” Unfortunately, chances are the other person already has a hairstylist, considers your service to be a commodity, so they change the topic.

The Customer Turn-off You’ve probably heard networking ‘experts’ state that you’re supposed to have an elevator pitch (a 30 second commercial ready to recite).

The problem in the real world when you’re talking with smart, streetwise customers, is the 30 second infomercial sounds so phony and contrived it turns them off more than tweaks their interest.

Instead, as a hairstylist you might reply a simple one-line ultimate benefit, “I help people fix personal image prob-

lems.” This time you’re more likely to have stimulated their curiosity. Their next question naturally becomes, “How do you do that?” Now you’ve been invited to describe your products/services in an even more compelling way…

Getting in their head At this point in the conversation, you can describe what you do with an example that the customer can relate to. An easy way is start with the words, “You know how…”

Then complete the sentence explaining how your service fixes a common problem. For example, when the chamber of commerce member asks the hairstylist how she fixes personal image problems, she might respond with, “You know how most men have the same haircut that they’ve had all their adult lives – whether is suits them or not?

And you know how most hair stylists usually just ask how you want your cut and you usually get the same thing done? Well, when I work with

a client I start by looking at the person’s most attractive facial features, then we come up with a cut that not only highlights their most attractive features but also works for their lifestyle.” This time the stylist has differentiated herself in the mind of the potential customer. She stands out as offering oneof-a-kind service. And price has become less of a source of comparison.

The beauty of the relevant example is that it applies to the other person’s circumstances. That’s why it’s helpful to start any conversation by first finding something about the other person. It also happens to make you a more interesting conversationalist because you're beginning by discussing most people’s favorite topic; themselves.

Bottom line: next time you need to set yourself apart from the competition – beyond just lowering prices – try changing the way you talk about what you do for a living.

Mayor Marshall Chalmers has invited officials from Yichun, China, to come to Camrose at the end of March for discussions on potential economic opportunities and a possible twinning agreement.

"I just signed the letter of invitation today," said Mayor Chalmers Jan. 24. "We want to have them take a look at our entire region, including the County, and consider the different ways in which we can work together."

The visit is being coordinated on the City's behalf by Ken Duggan.

"We will be developing a twinning agreement while they are here," said Duggan during a presentation to City council Jan. 21.

Yichun is located in the Chinese province of Heilongjiang, which has been twinned with the province of Alberta the last 30 years.

Heilongjiang's capital city is Harbin, which has had a twinning agreement with the City of Edmonton the last 25 years.

The City of Camrose has allocated $5,000 from its community budget to pay for the visit, an amount it is expecting will be matched by private and/or corporate funding and in-kind donations. Any money raised above that amount will go towards the cost of sending a Camrose delegation to China either this year or next.

"Minister Teresa Woo-Pau (Associate Minister of International and International Relations) believes she can get this fundraising within the Chinese community in the cities of Edmonton and Calgary and potentially more," said Duggan.

A person who is very interested in the twinning arrangement is Dr. Brian Evans, who is planning to release a book on the late Dr. Chester Ronning, a world-renowned diplomat who was born in China and served as president of Camrose Lutheran College.

"He was involved in the twinning of Harbin and Edmonton and really likes the concept," said Duggan. "An idea occurs that he would come to Camrose to do a lecture and help us with fundraising."

The city of Yichun has expressed a high degree of interest in a proposal by the Camrose Academy of Curling Society to establish, in conjunction with the Battle River School Division, a curling program that would provide curling instruction through high profile curlers – including provincial and world champions – as early as 2013. The goal is to have 70 students from around the world in the first year and expand that to a maximum of 100.

The Camrose Academy of Curling Society vision received good response from World Federation of Curling president Kate Caithness at the recent Continental Cup of Curling in Penticton, who indicated it is one of the best curling projects she has seen in some time.

"We do want to try to get the World Curling Federation to sanction or endorse the Camrose Academy of Curling, in particular to the 49 member association of the World Curling Federation, so we can get out there and start marketing to those countries," said Duggan. "She sees a lot of positive things happening in some places."

Members of the Camrose Academy of Curling eight-member board of directors include chair Brenda Bohmer, vice chair Darren McDermott and City councillor Max Lindstrand.

The City of Yichun has indicated it wants to be the capital of curling in China. An International Ladies' Curling Competition in Yichun this past November attracted teams from Canada, USA, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, and China. The city has built a curling facility and adopted curling into the school curriculum.

Szott features work at Chuck MacLean Arts Centre in February

By Murray Green

Tara Szott is the artist of the month for February at the

Chuck MacLean Arts Centre (CMAC).

"We always display various forms of art during our Art Walk. We have had a lot of interest in that and also in bringing in travelling art shows," explained Jane Cherry-Lemire, CMAC arts director. "When the walls are blank, we start hearing people complain about that.

So, I've decided to have shows at least 10 months out of the year.

I picked Tara because I love her art and, secondly, because she is quite prolific and has a lot of pieces."

Tara is a local artist whose path in the fine arts has led her to a unique expression of mood and colour through acrylic and mixed media. She has explored numerous forms of art and crafts with painting in acrylic, watercolour, oils, sculpture and pottery. However, it has been acrylic paints that have captured her interest and dominates her work.

"I was always interested in art, even as a small child. My mother would encourage me and bring home art supplies.

She just told me to create and

Tara Szott displays some of her artwork that will be featured at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre for the month of February.

I have been artistic all my life," said Tara.

Although Tara has been painting since childhood, it has only been recently that she is able to focus on her love of art full time. "Art was my first true love of wanting to do anything.

However, with having to pay bills, I went to university and worked 25 years in finance. It's only been recently that I have been able to devote more time to art."

Born in British Columbia, Tara spent her childhood in

the enchantment of the mountains. After moving to Alberta 21 years ago (she now lives east of Camrose), Tara finds inspiration in the ever-changing landscape of the prairies. Nature, wildlife, flora and fauna are the main subjects that fill her canvases. She is currently working on a series of modern abstract florals in vibrant colours and strong textures.

"In the past, the majority of my art was spent painting in a traditional realism style that I like to call abstract realism," Tara said. "I would have a real object with an abstract background. Only recently, have I started into modern abstract florals."

Whether her time is spent in her studio at home (Jakara Studios), volunteering art demonstrations at long term care facilities and schools, or teaching art classes to both adults and children, she finds nothing more enjoyable and inspiring.

To experience her process and enjoy an interactive demonstration, join Tara at the CMAC on February 7 and 21, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., where she will be painting for all to view. Feel free to bring a lunch, enjoy some

creative conversation and find some inspiration.

Besides having her work on display, Tara is offering art classes for kids and adults. "People can take the class, it doesn't matter if they have experience or not, and at the end of the session, they will have something to take home with them," said Tara. "No experience is necessary."

A one-day workshop called Creative Kids will be held for children seven to 12 years old on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon on Feb. 2, March 2, April 6 and May 4. Each class will be a new experience.

The Modern Abstract Floral session will be held on those same dates from 1 to 3 p.m. for those 13 and up in an adult format.

Even moms need a night out. Two sessions of Mom's Night Out will be held on Feb. 7 and 21 beginning at 6:30 p.m.

"I think moms work really hard and they need to get a break.

It's important to take some time for yourself and this is a good program for moms."

The Artist of the Week will also have two sessions. The first class starts on Feb. 12 and it is a six week program.

Novice teams celebrate minor hockey

The Bruins clashed with the Panthers and went on to capture the Camrose Minor Week novice Tournament by beating the Flyers 4-2 in the A final. The Panthers bounced back to edge the Stars 4-3 in the B final and the Lightning won the C final with a 5-2 victory over the Leafs.

The Flyers moved the puck up the ice quickly to reach the finals.

The Camrose Kodiaks kicked its offence into full speed in the second period against the Calgary Mustangs on Jan. 22.

After a scoreless opening period, Camrose scored on the power play when Jonathan Lashyn found the back of the net with his shot. The Kodiaks then rode the momentum with two goals within less than a minute later in the period. Nelson Gadoury and Scott Ferguson garnered the tallies for the Kodiaks.

Goalie Matt Gibney was the show stopper with 25 saves to earn the shutout. Camrose recorded 33 shots on goal, but held the edge 29-12 after the first two frames.

A new bear in the den has four points in four games.

"I'm glad to end up in Camrose because it is close to home and I get to learn from coach Boris Rybalka," said defenceman Layne Viveiros. "Boris has a lot of experience and I'm here to learn as much as I can for the rest of the year."

The Portland Winterhawks' coaching staff told Layne that Camrose was the best place for him to receive the ice time he needed to improve. "It's a winning organization in Camrose and a great place to learn what I need to learn," said the former St. Albert resident. "I was in game shape with Portland, but this gives me the opportunity to receive more ice time. It was an easy transition because I was playing."

Playing a regular shift, on the power play and penalty kill time will prepare Layne for a leadership role in the future.

"This is a very good league. It is fast paced and physical. Hockey has changed now and both of these leagues (WHL and AJHL) are about speed and puck movement," explained Layne. "I was hoping to receive more power play time to improve that part of my game. I still want to be physical and develop into a leader here."

Layne was able to play for former Vikings coach Mike Johnston. "He is a great coach and he really knows the game. I'm lucky to be in that organization. Now I'm with a great group of guys here."

The Kodiaks were madder than bears caught in a bee hive raid after they lost to the Drumheller Dragons, Jan. 18. Camrose didn't show the Saints any mercy as the team knocked off the northern first place Spruce Grove squad 4-2 on the road the next night.

Tanner MacMaster scored twice, including a short-handed marker, to lead the Kodiaks offence after Spruce Grove built up 1-0 and 2-1 leads.

Brett Njaa and Nolan Marshall supplied the other tallies for the Kodiaks. Gibney made 36 of 38 saves for Camrose to earn the win. The Kodiaks had 34 shots on the Saints' net.

A different story occurred against the Drumheller Dragons when the Kodiaks dropped a 4-3 decision.

In the first two periods, Drumheller scored first, only to have the Kodiaks garner the equalizer for scores of 1-1 and 2-2.

Ryan Huolt set up Ty Clay to give Camrose the first lead of the game in the third. However, it was the Dragons that caught fire on a power play opportunity to tie the game. The Dragons burned any hopes of a Camrose win, when they scored the winner with just 16 seconds left on the clock.

The Dragons put the heat on Camrose goalie Devin McDonald, but he didn't melt under pressure under the final seconds. He faced 50 shots from Drumheller, while Camrose fired 28 shots at the Dragons' cage.

The Kodiaks visit the Calgary Canucks on Jan. 30 to close out the month. Camrose finally plays at home on Feb. 1 and 2 when the Eagles return for two games, beginning at 7:30 p.m. each night.

Frozen Rose Blues Fest displays great talent Continued from page 16

That brought her to the Augustana University in Camrose, where she completed a Bachelor of Music Program.

Currently, Jenie is working on an original CD. The afternoon session closes with Tim Williams, who is one of North America’s finest acoustic blues performers. Tim Williams and The Electro-Fires have toured the country, opening for ZZ Top. His trio will be entertaining at the evening show as well.

The 7 p.m. evening show begins with Camrose artists.

The Myra Marshall Band is a cornerstone of the local blues scene. She is complemented by the Robert Renman’s exquisite guitar work, Brandon Kroeger on drums and John McCune on bass.

Jenie returns for her full sound performance before Bryan Strand appears on stage.

He has been playing the blues around Western Canada for more than 20 years. His vocal stylings are very versatile, ranging from a blues growl to a Roy Orbison style high tenor.

Joining him for this appearance will be veteran musicians Gail Runge on drums, and Dave Botkin on bass. Making a special guest appearance with the band will be Bryan’s long time friend, Curtis Bessette on guitar.

Tim Williams and The Electro-Fires follow with the full version of the band's sound.

No stranger to Camrose, Rich Hope and His Evil Doers will close the evening. Rich and his partner Adrian Mack play an all out concert of boogie blues. They hit the stage like a tornado and leave it like one just touched down.

The festival wraps up on Sunday with an open jam session at 5 p.m. You never know what to expect when that much talent hits the stage at once.

This is a free admission jam, so don't miss the opportunity to catch some great artists in action.

Weekend passes for the shows on Feb. 1 to 3 are $35 and can be purchased at www. baileytheatre.com, by calling 780-672-5510, or by stopping at the Box Office Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.

Shirley Ann McEachern Shirley Ann McEachern was born in Drumheller, AB on September 14, 1935 and passed away suddenly on January 21, 2013 at the age of 77.

Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband Gerald; her children Larry (Mercy) of Lacombe, Brian of Sherwood Park, Norm (Cheryl) of Sherwood Park, Rhonda of Trochu and Karen (Ivan) of Round Hill; grandchildren Scott, Randy, Chris, Kyra, Tara, Becky, Keefton, Spencer, Steve and Eleanor; greatgrandchildren Kailea, Ryder, Lily and Seryna; one brother Robert (Auntie Naughty) of Stony Plain; one sister Arlene of Sooke, BC; and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Shirley was “Mom” or “Grandma” to many; she had a heart of gold and was loved by all.

Her father had many jobs, so they moved around Alberta a lot. They settled in Gainford, AB. Shirley and her brother Robert moved in with Ruth and Hughie McLaughlin and their daughter Arlene when they were 13 and 11 years old. Ruth and Hughie soon became “Mom” and “Dad”.

In her working years, Shirley worked at Johnstone-Walker Department Store in Edmonton in the notions, yarn and sewing department and also ran the elevator. She married Gerald, the love of her life, on September 8, 1956 and resided in Gainford at the general store. They and their children moved to an acreage by Sherwood Park and built a house. Then they moved to a farm near Ferintosh and started a dairy until retiring to the Village of Ferintosh in 1996.

Shirley loved to garden – flowers were her biggest passion as was shown by all the ribbons hanging on her fridge. She loved to bake and was famous for her bread and cookies. She was very active in the community, loved taking tai chi with Vera, and bowling with the ladies every Wednesday afternoon.

We will miss your pumpkin pie, lemon meringue pie, gingersnap cookies, potato salad, stuffing and butter tarts without raisins. Thanks, Mom. We’ll love you forever We’ll like you for always As long as we’re living Our angel you’ll be The runway to Heaven is all lit up for you, and you will be first in line.

A memorial service will be held on February 2, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. at Ferintosh Hall, Ferintosh.

Memorial donations can be made to the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Thanks to all for the thoughts, prayers, phone calls and offers of help.

School bake sale helps send athletes to Games

By Murray Green

Bawlf School student Vanessa Sheppard turned a small noon hour bake sale into a huge success.

The sale, which was expanded to three days, collected enough funds to support two athletes in the Camrose Special Olympics Draft An Athlete program.

"We made $341, enough to support two athletes and we were close to raising the amount for three," said Vanessa.

It was estimated that it costs $125 to fund a Special Olympics athlete for a trip to the provincial games and to enter programs in Camrose.

Vanessa, who is a swimming coach for Special Olympics, held the bake sale to raise funds to take about 50 local athletes to the various sporting events held in Red Deer and Edmonton.

"I started coaching with Special Olympics this year and I absolutely love it. Carol (Wideman) told me about the Draft An Athlete program and that she had a table at the Kodiaks' games," explained Vanessa. "I volunteered to work at it. I saw a lot of people going by the table that didn't even give Special Olympics a second thought. I thought this is wrong and not okay. A lot of organizations ask for money and I felt that Special Olympics is a worthwhile cause. I wanted to bring this to my school and challenge them."

Vanessa's principal then challenged the Grade 12 student to come up with a plan to raise funds. "I asked one of my teachers for help on coming up with a plan. She suggested a bake sale, but I was hesitant in doing all of that work. So, I got a group of friends together and "voluntold" (told them they were volunteer-

ing) them that they were helping me. That's the power you have as a Grade 12 student in a one hallway school," joked Vanessa, on her leadership skills.

"We had the students and staff volunteer to donate baking. I was amazed. Everything was homemade and nothing was store bought. I was extremely impressed with everything we had donated," Vanessa said. "We ended up selling for three days because we had so much baking.

On top of that, people came in with donations. I made posters for the bus garage and the bus drivers came in to make donations, which was wonderful."

The students raised $200 the first day. "Our goal was $250, so we could send two athletes to the games. I was amazed at how fast it took off. When we reached that mark, I wanted to go for three athletes and we almost did it," said Vanessa. "It's so important to me because I know how much that extra amount still helps Special Olympics."

Vanessa started swimming when she was four and joined the synchronized swimming club later on. She was asked to help Special Olympics one day and Vanessa hasn't stopped since. "I love coaching and the confidence it gives the athletes is breathtaking. I love it so much.

"I've witnessed first hand how it is difficult for a lot of our athletes to raise their own funds of $125 to participate and travel to provincials," said Vanessa.

The bake sale was held on Jan. 9 to 11.

Vanessa has committed to go to Grant MacEwan next year, but she still wants to be involved with Special Olympics, whether it is in Edmonton or Camrose.

SPECIAL GOAL Left: Bawlf School student and Camrose Special Olympics assistant coach Vanessa Sheppard presents Lyndsey Delwo of Special Olympics with $341 from the proceeds of a bake sale held at her school. The funds will go to the Draft An Athlete program.

Show your support for pets with a heart for Valentine's Day

By Murray Green

Animals often show us they have a heart when we are feeling down. Now it's your chance to return the favour.

Global Pet Foods launches the annual Show Us Your Heart (Valentine’s theme) fund-raising campaign, which collects money for animal shelters, Feb. 2 to 16.

Camrose, Global Pet Foods store owner Chris Zamora, will be raising money for local rescues with the Battle River Animal Protection Society. The society (BRAPS) is a non-profit organization operated solely by volunteers and funded by public donation.

BRAPS advocates for ani-

mals in the Battle River area by protecting them from neglect, abuse and abandonment. Global Pets in Camrose and Wetaskiwin has been supporting the society for the last six years. For more info on BRAPS visit www.braps.ca.

This Valentine’s Day Global Pet Foods is asking pet parents to spread the love to homeless ani-

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Global Pet Foods owner Chris Zamora with Marmalade, BRAPS vice-president Monica Rusnak with Dewey, and store employee Krista Elliott with Leo encourage all pet owners to donate to the Show us Your Heart campaign from Feb. 2 to 16 to help fund animal rescues in the area. All three cats are available for adoption. BRAPS will also be holding adoption days at the store on Feb. 2, 9 and 16 from noon to 4 p.m.

mals during the seventh annual Show Us Your Heart Fundraiser.

Last year, a record of $154,000 was raised for animal shelters and rescues across Canada.

Pet parents can show their support by visiting Global Pet Foods Camrose (5706-48 Avenue, Camrose) and donating a little as $1. However, Chris is willing to go one step further. "For every $10 donation at Camrose or Wetaskiwin stores, we will give you a $10 gift card to be used on your next purchase," she said.

"Our stores are doing this over and above other stores because we want to support BRAPS. All proceeds will go directly to BRAPS and it stays locally."

BRAPS will also have six to eight cats at the store, on Feb. 2, 9 and 16, that will be up for adoption from noon to 4 p.m. Currently, the society has about 20 cats that are looking for a good home. "The animals are all spayed or neutered, vaccinated and ready for adoption," said BRAPS vice-president Monica Rusnak. "If someone wants to adopt a cat they may contact us at braps@hotmail.ca, phone 780-678-5713 or 780-6795607. We've taken in 39 kittens in the last three months."

Former NHL coach of the year, Don Cherry, and his dog Blue make this Valentine’s Day sweeter for homeless pets by supporting Global Pet Foods fundraiser. Don is a devoted pet parent and sup-

porter of local animal shelters. “I really admire people who rescue animals,” he said. “It’s not about how a dog or cat acts or looks.

Choosing a rescue is about the desire to truly help an animal; that’s what Show Us Your Heart is all about.”

Pets play meaningful roles with local families. “Our real customers are the dogs and cats,” said Jim Walker, president of Global Pet Foods. “Show Us Your Heart is our way to give back to pets and the incredible local organizations and volunteers who support them in communities across Canada.”

When you donate $5 or more in-store, you receive 10 bonus Air Miles. Donations can also be made from your mobile phone by texting the word “HEART” to 20222 for a $5 donation.

Customers can win Don Cherry's voice mail recording on their home phones and free science diet food for a year by entering a contest at www.facebook. com/globalpetfoods.

"Last year we raised $3,330 for BRAPS and we would like to increase that amount this year," concluded Chris. "This is such a worthwhile cause because we are helping a local organization that helps local animals."

The money raised pays for veterinarian bills and to foster homes that take care of the animals until they can be adopted.

Jeep Compass Taking you where you want to go

By Dan Jensen

The 2013 Jeep Compass at Camrose Chrysler gets top marks for fuel efficiency, off-road capability and styling.

Jeep Compass Limited models feature a 2.4-litre I-4 cylinder engine which produces 172 horsepower and 165 lb.-ft. of torque, and delivers an excellent 9.0 litres per 100 km in the city and 7.0 litres per 100 km on the highway.

A 2.0 litre I-4 DOHC delivers 158 horsepower and 141 lb.-ft while using just 9.3 litres per 100 km in the city and 7.2 litres per 100 km on the highway.

Jeep Compass is available in three drivetrain configurations. In addition to the standard front-wheel drive system, it is also available with Freedom Drive I and the Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group.

Freedom Drive I is an available, full-time, active four-wheel-drive system with lock mode, designed to give drivers year-round assistance with the ability to handle rough weather and low-traction conditions.

This active four-wheel-drive system is recommended for daily use, including slick conditions that come with rain and light snow. Freedom Drive I also features a lockable centre coupling, giving drivers the ability to put the Jeep Compass in four-wheel-drive lock mode to handle deep snow, sand and other low-traction surfaces.

The Jeep Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group is an available four-wheel-drive system that delivers Jeep Trail Rated capability for those seeking a true off-road adventure. The Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group includes a second-generation continuously variable transaxle with low range that engages when the offroad mode is activated, 17-inch all-terrain tires, oneinch raised ride height, full-size spare tire, skid plates, tow hooks and manual seat height adjuster. The available Freedom Drive II Off-Road Group is recommended for moderate off-road situations that include steep grades, occasional wheel lift and rock or log climbing.

Jeep Compass Limited's well-appointed cabin surrounds you and your passengers with beautiful amenities. Limited arrives with a long list of standard luxuries, including automatic temperature control, heated front seats, ultra-bright 18-inch aluminum wheels, leather-faced seating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, six-way power adjustable driver's seat, lumbar adjustment, and a foldflat front passenger seat. Sirius XM Satellite Radio, including one-year subscription, also comes standard.

Adventure enthusiasts are invited to get their best game on with Compass Sport. A roster of strong and standard features will accompany you, including 17-inch aluminum wheels, projector fog lamps, a fourwheel antilock brake system, Electronic Stability Control with Electronic Roll Mitigation, Hill Start Assist,

Hydraulic Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Force Distribution.

Jeep Compass delivers best-in-class rear-seat legroom, letting your passengers stretch out and relax in comfort.

Compass makes the most out of its best-in-class cargo accolades with cubbies and cup holders placed throughout the cabin, including two illuminated landing spots for your morning cup-to-go.

The Sun and Sound Group provides fresh air and clear sound via the power sunroof, Sirius XL Satellite Radio with one-year subscription, and an audio system that includes nine Boston Acoustics speakers with subwoofer and flip-down liftgate speakers.

A robust set of more than 30 standard and available safety and security features are in place, keeping watch on the trail and on the road. A Jeep engineered safety cage structure contains a front crumple zone specifically designed to absorb energy during a frontal impact. Electronic Stability Control integrates a host of

systems that work together to help you move safely forward. The system's four-wheel antilock brake system with hydraulic Brake Assist and electronic Brake-Force Distribution automatically adjusts the amount of force applied to each brake based on road conditions. All-Speed Traction Control and Electronic Roll Mitigation constantly John Wigston monitor driver input Camrose Chrysler against the vehicle's actual course. When needed, ERM automatically helps provide braking to the appropriate wheels and reduces engine power when overlay sharp steering and/or impending wheel lift is detected.

Embedded sensors continuously monitor tire pressure and immediately notify the driver when levels drop below the minimum acceptable level.

Front-seat side air bags deploy from the outboard side of each front seat to enhance protection of the driver and front passenger in certain impacts.

Each side air bag has its own sensor to autonomously trigger the air bag on the side where the impact occurs.

The 2013 Jeep Compass offers an array of clever features consumers will appreciate whether commuting to work or exploring new trails. Features such as Uconnect media centre with iPod interface, Uconnect hands-free communication with Bluetooth streaming audio, a premium audio system, illuminated cup holders, and liftgate speakers are some of the available unique features that make the Jeep Compass the perfect compact SUV, enabling consumers to enjoy any adventure.

OLMP Interact Leadership Club receives charter status

By Murray Green

Rotary International district governor Kevin Hilgers knows his way from Grande Prairie to Camrose all too well.

With four Rotary clubs in Camrose, the governor has made the trip from his home on several occasions. The Our Lady of Mount Pleasant (OLMP) Interact Leadership Club received its charter status on Jan. 14 during a special night at the Camrose Resort Casino.

"Part of my job is to visit all 61 clubs within the district. I make it a big point (priority) to attend the Interact youth clubs because they are so important to the future of Rotary," said Kevin. "I'm excited to meet with youth and see what they want to accomplish. In this day and age of decreasing numbers in service clubs, it is a big challenge to maintain those numbers. Our answer to that is Interact and mentoring youth to be better community members and even outside of their community.

We want them to be leaders and future Rotarians as well."

Kevin said the Rotary clubs need those talents. "Everywhere I turn around, I meet young people that just astound me in how much they want to get involved in the community and the world. They want to grow their leadership skills and give back to the community. I think it is a very positive thing for youth and we have to

recognize them and cultivate their passion."

Per capita Camrose has more Rotarians than anywhere else in Alberta and maybe even western Canada. "Rotary is very active in Camrose and you can see that as you drive in with the sign and parks," said Kevin. "But, we don't take membership for granted. We are always looking for new members. We want people who move to Camrose to ask how can they meet friends and be active. Rotary can do that for them."

Kevin welcomes people to Rotary with open arms, such as the OLMP Interact. "We give people the keys, but it is up to them to open the doors to the world.

We have mentoring and exchange opportunities. Welcome to Rotary, but this is just a start to the many opportunities and it is up to them to open the door. Camrose should be proud of the fact they have four clubs. Living here is more appealing because of the clubs. In turn, we are lucky to have Camrose."

The OLMP Interact Leadership Club has more than 30 members in its first year, about a third of the high school students in the school. "We are happy with our numbers, especially since this is our first year. I've always been active as a leader. When Interact was introduced to us last fall, I knew this is something I wanted to be involved in," said Shyla Barore, chair of the public relations committee. "Rotary opens

the doors to a lot of things and as I get older, I can remain with the Rotary as well."

Racquel Klug is the first president of the club. "Our club (about 15 students) is going on a mission trip to Belize during the spring break. I'm not going, but I believe they are going to a school to mentor students," said Shyla.

Receiving charter status allows the students to take charge of their own projects and step out from the local sponsor club. "Rotary is special because it gets the

youth involved in projects. We are the next generation and we need people to keep everything going.

Rotary is fun, it helps you grow as an individual and develop life skills and it involves teamwork. I think it's fantastic. You learn to do things on your own and collectively. It makes you think and raises your confidence," explained Shyla.

"Joining Rotary means our school will be getting more involved in things," said the Grade 12 student. "We want to help in the community and to continue to

improve our leadership skills. We want our club to grow and make a mission trip possible every year."

The club's next function is a Pasta Carnival Night at OLMP on Friday, Feb. 1. The fundraiser will help with the mission trip to Belize. "We are going to have dinner, entertainment, carnival games and great prizes."

For general inquiries, donations, or tickets to the Pasta Carnival Night, contact the club at olmpinteractleadershipclub@ gmail.com.

The lady Vikings made a blue print of how to win and used it twice in almost identical scores against the Lakeland Rustlers.

Augustana won 77-54 and 77-53 to remain tied for first place in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference.

Taryn Story led the offence in the first game with 21 points and Kelsey Lund chipped in with 17 points. In the rematch, Taryn

The Augustana Vikings is the first team in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference to defeat the NAIT Ooks in regulation time this season. The Vikings ended the 18 game streak by winning 5-4 in the EnCana Arena on Jan. 23.

Augustana beat the Ooks in overtime and tied the squad earlier this season to be the only club to take points away from first place NAIT. The Vikings sit two points back of NAIT and two points ahead of SAIT. Captain Dan Hope led the Vikings into battle with three goals, while Devon Hobbs added the other two markers.

Augustana caught the owls napping in the first period and built up a 3-0 lead with two power play goals. The teams exchanged tallies in the second to give the Vikings a 4-1 lead after 40 minutes.

The home team scored first in the last frame, but the Ooks were not going to lose without a fight.

NAIT scored two goals within 17 seconds to make it a close contest.

Goalie Joel Danyluk stopped 35 of 39 shots to give the Vikings the win.

In an epic battle of ancient powerhouses, the Trojans conquered the Vikings. The SAIT Trojans tied the Augustana Vikings hockey team 5-5 in Camrose, but were victorious 3-0 in the rematch in Calgary.

SAIT scored with 10 seconds left in the Jan. 18 contest to force overtime. However, the five minute extra frame didn't break the deadlock. SAIT was up 4-2 after two periods. The Vikings went on a pillage and notched the next three goals, only to give up the tying tally in the last minute.

Scott Aucion and Kenny Bradley each scored twice to lead the Vikings' offence. Darryl Gagnon chipped in with a single marker.

Joel Danyluk stopped 35 of 40 shots in the Vikings' net.

Augustana fired 44 shots at the SAIT net.

In the Jan. 19 contest, the Trojans showed discipline by taking only four penalties. The move paid off as the penalty killers kept Augustana off the scoresheet.

SAIT goalie Michael Tadjdeh earned the shutout by making 31 saves. Danyluk stopped 35 of 38 shots that he faced.

The Vikings play two games against Keyano in Fort McMurray on the weekend. Augustana then hosts Briercrest for two games on Feb. 8 and 9. The first game is at 7:30 p.m. and the second starts at 2 p.m.

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.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER January 29, 2013

BRCF assists Camrose Association For Community Living with a legacy grant The Battle River Community Foundation (BRCF) has granted $1,500 to the Camrose Association for Community Living (CAFCL).

This grant is made possible by the Gordon French Fund which was created by Art French in honour of his brother Gordon. This Fund is meant to assist physically handicapped individuals to enhance prospects of employability and quality of life. It is also supplemented by the Battle River Community Foundation’s Community Fund.

CAFCL is a vital community focused organization dedicated to assisting people with disabilities, people with acquired brain injury and families at risk. Individualized and responsive services are provided to develop their skills to build a better quality of life.

Many of the employees of CAFCL work alone in homes or in remote locations. To these employees a SafetyLine Work Alone Monitoring System has been installed. However, in order to access this system GPS cell phones are required to connect to this network. This grant will assist in the purchasing of these cell phones to enhance the safety of the workers providing individual in-home care.

The system enables workers to connect quickly to the appropriate supports in an emergency situation.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects and organizations in East Central Alberta, such as CAFCL, which benefit local communities, individuals and have a positive impact on the future. Contributions to the Battle River Community Foundation are permanently invested in endowment funds, currently valued in excess of $6.8 million.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created these endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects in the Battle River area. Some funding is also made available annually by generous donors who make flow-through gifts to the Battle River Community Foundation.

Since its founding in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1.7 million to various projects and initiatives.

Tardif breaks new paths for violin Edmonton violin virtuoso Guillaume Tardif will team up with local pianist Roger Admiral for an evening of early 20th century duos. The concert will take place in the Faith and Life Chapel at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 7. There is no charge for admission.

The pianist-composers on this program all wrote works that they themselves would perform with their violinist friends on European tours promoting their music. Karol Szymanowski's Mythes offer exotic and erotic story telling. The movements of Igor Stravinsky's Duo Concertant allude to Pastoral poetry's mixing of simplicity and sophistication by mixing complex rhythmic construction with drone and cimbalom styles of texture. Béla Bartók's Sonata #1 is a thrilling drama where folk music and dance mix with abstract construction.

Guillaume Tardif received his doctorate of Musical Art from the Eastman School, University of Rochester. He is Associate Professor and Area Coordinator for Chamber Music and Strings at the Department of Music at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. He is an active concert violinist, performing in Canada and abroad as soloist and chamber musician – recently at Carnegie Hall. In the summer of 2012, he was a guest professor at the University of Innsbruck (Austria) and at two international music festivals in Italy and the USA. Among other ongoing projects, he is president of the Alberta String Association and leads the Enterprise String Quartet project (for which he was nominated for a TELUS Courage to Innovate Award, City of Edmonton).

Canadian pianist Roger Admiral performs solo and chamber music repertoire spanning the 18th through the 21st century. Known for his dedication to contemporary music, Roger has commissioned and premiered many new compositions. The current concert season includes recent piano music of Howard Bashaw performed in Jersey City, Toronto, Guelph, Kitchener, Calgary and Edmonton, and engagements with Ensemble 1534 (Ottawa) and Plexoos Ensemble (Edmonton). Recent performances include solo recitals of Canadian music in Hungary, with violinist Guillaume Tardif in Budapest, Innsbruck, New York City, Seoul and Fribourg (Switzerland), and a concerto with Toronto's New Music Concerts. In 2014 Roger will perform Gyorgy Ligeti's Piano Concerto with the Victoria Symphony. Roger holds degrees from the University of Western Ontario and University of Alberta (Doctorate of Music – piano performance). He lives in Camrose and teaches at the University of Alberta north campus as well as Augustana Campus as a sessional instructor.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER January 29, 2013

Heart Month proclaimed

Mayor Marshall Chalmers proclaims February as Heart Month in Camrose.

Mayor Marshall Chalmers and Camrose City council have proclaimed February as Heart Month in the city of Camrose.

Mayor Chalmers is urging all citizens to cooperate with the Heart and Stroke Foundation Person to Person campaign and all civic, social and fraternal organizations and business establishments to give this campaign the greatest possible support.

Heart disease and stroke are two of the three leading causes of death in Canada, claiming close to 70,000 each year. Nearly 75 per cent of stroke survivors end up with some form of disability.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation protects the lives of all Canadians by funding world class scientific research which results in medical advances, social change and education to prevent and reduce death and disability from heart disease and stroke. The Foundation relies on the dedication of thousands of volunteers who selflessly give their time by canvassing their neighbourhoods to collect donations to help it reach its fund-raising goals.
