Much of the work which happens behind the scenes of a highly polished ChurchMice Players production is complete. After choosing a script that’s right, a terrific cast has been assembled. Talented musicians have been recruited.

Over the course of hundreds of collective hours, lines and music have been learned. Costumes and sets have been created – often from scratch.

Scenes have been rehearsed and rehearsed and then rehearsed some more.

And finally, showtime is right around the corner.

Oliver!

Opens this Friday, March 16.

Long time followers of ChurchMice Dinner Theatres will be thrilled to hear that one of the most talented amateur actors in the entire area, Dave McDougall, will return to this famous musical to once again play the lead role of Fagin.

Dave shone in this identical role twenty-one years ago!

Sylvia Lyon, who has directed many productions, including other ChurchMice Players musicals is back as Director.

Some tickets remain for the eight-show run (five dinner theatres/one evening show without dinner and two matinees) are still available.

McLean stepping down as head of CRE

By Dan Jensen

After nearly 20 years at the helm, Wynn McLean is stepping down as CEO of the Camrose Regional Exhibition.

"It's a big decision for me and one that was not made lightly," said McLean. "I believe strongly in the work CRE has done and continues to do. I will always be proud of what we have been able to accomplish. And I will cherish every second I have spent with this great organization and the great people, past and present, that worked with me as team members and board members."

CRE board of directors president Stan Skotniczny said the CRE is going to deeply miss McLean's experience and dedication.

"He's been a strong member of the team and has helped the CRE successfully navigate some turbulent times. His influence is a big part of the reason that the

organization is a major contributor to the community of Camrose and surrounding area."

Camrose Regional Exhibition made major strides under McLean's leadership in recent years. In addition to being successful in its application to the provincial government for capital funding to assist with site expansion, it was able to partner with the Mayfield Group to on the casino hotel operation located next door, build a campground and take sole ownership of Panhandle Productions, the operation that conducts Big Valley Jamboree.

"We have had some major growth and been able to move forward," said McLean.

CRE second vice president Diane Hutchinson said McLean has always shown an attitude of cooperation and teamwork while helping make the organization a

Wynn McLean

strong partner within the community.

"There are many ways in which the community has contributed to the CRE and the CRE has been able to contribute to the

community with involvement in all sorts of projects and initiatives, from the cancer fundraisers and the MS bike ride, all the way back through the Festival of Trees. It has been a great influence from Wynn's own attitude that has helped drive that."

McLean will remain in his role as CEO until the end of April, at which time he will be moving to a newly created position with Travel Alberta as vice president of community relations. While he will have an office in Edmonton, he expects to do a lot of his work from home, in Camrose.

"One of the things that attracted me to it," he said, "was an opportunity to sort of build the position myself. I will be involved with working with municipal governments, both counties and cities, and some provincial interdepartmental stuff.

"I can honestly say that I am moving from one really strong team to another strong team."

McLean said in joining Travel Alberta he will have to decide between attending the Big Valley Jamboree or the Canmore Folk Festival, two events that are held on the same weekend.

"My wife said I could now join her at the Canmore Folk Festival. I had to kind of say, 'well, maybe.'"

The Camrose Regional Exhibition board will be evaluating its existing structure and resources and determining, from there, what kind of skills and strengths it wants in a new CEO. "These are big shoes to fill but we know the work of the CRE will carry on," said Skotniczny.

"The board will begin discussions about the future as quickly as possible."

Carol Ann Johnson inspired by Rick Hansen

By Dan Jensen

Carol Ann Johnson didn't have to look far for her inspiration as she and her service dog braved snowy -6째C conditions and Wetaskiwin's slushy streets in the Rick Hansen Many in Motion Relay Mar. 5.

"I kept thinking of Rick Hansen going up the Wall of China in his wheelchair without having anyone to push him, and thought if he could do something like that I could as well," said Johnson.

"I felt that, even in my wheelchair, I would be able to overcome whatever obstacle in my way."

Johnson was one of 7,000 Canadians chosen to participate in the relay, which started in Cape Spear, NL, Aug. 24, and will conclude in Vancouver, B.C., May 22. The relay recreates Hansen's original Man in Motion Cross Canada tour 25 years ago.

"It's like the Olympic torch run of a couple of years ago but instead of carrying the Olympic flame I was able to carry a Rick Hansen commemorative medal," said Johnson.

"It was a once in a lifetime type of experience."

Johnson was chosen for the relay after submitting an essay telling how she is striving to make a difference in her community by helping create awareness among business owners about what they can do to improve accessibility to their stores for those who are handicapped.

"Everywhere I go I can see there are improvements that can be made," said Johnson.

"Some stores have steps that you have to go over or bathrooms that wheelchair users like me can't use because the doors open the wrong way."

"It's a problem everywhere you go, not just in small communities."

Johnson started using a service dog (she calls him Mr. B) to pull her wheelchair after she developed arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome in her wrists.

"He's my second dog," said

Johnson. "I received my first dog from the Pacific Assistance Dog Society (PADS) in 2002 but he passed away with cancer."

Johnson was matched to Mr. B based partly on her level of activity and partly on the dog's willingness to pull her in a wheelchair. Since bringing him home, after a two-week training session in which she was taught the proper way of giving commands, she has found him to be a faithful companion and a hard worker who can pull her at speeds of up to 15 to 20 miles per hour for short distances.

"He's been trained not to anticipate like some of the dogs for the blind have to do, but to respond to commands," said Johnson. "Everything has to be by command. I can leave the door to the house open for instance and he knows he is going to go for a walk but he can't go out the door until I give the command."

Johnson appreciates the devotion of Mr. B. and the fact there is no judgment associated with anything she might be doing.

"If I drop something fifty times a day he is always there to pick it up for me. No matter how patient a person is, he or she is going to get tired of picking something up for you that many times."

The daughter of an army officer in Edmonton, Johnson developed polio in 1953, just eighteen months before Dr. Salk came up with his vaccine.

"I went to the Royal Alex Hospital when I was two years of age and it was there that I learned to walk using my braces," she said. "I continued to use them until six to seven years ago when I started to use the wheelchair."

Johnson worked at the University of Alberta for 24 years as an administrator in the Centre for Neuroscience, but retired after she and her husband, Ric, who is vice dean at Augustana, moved to Camrose 18 months ago.

"Our house was designed

Carol Ann Johnson and her service dog participated in the Many in Motion relay in Wetaskiwin Mar. 5

by a quadriplegic, so it has low counters and is very accessible," she said.

Johnson is still able to drive herself around in a car that has been adapted to meet her needs, and remains strongly independent.

"I am not the type of person

who likes to rely on others or say I'll wait and you can take me to the store later," she said.

"I want to be able to drive to the store and shop and do what I have to do just like everyone else."

Johnson received a special silver medal thanking her for

her participation in the Many in Motion relay.

"I have always considered Rick Hansen as my hero, so it was exciting to be part of something like that," she said. "I hope to go see him when he comes to Edmonton to speak and get inspired all over again."

PEN POINTS

by Berdie Fowler

Vision: a safe farm environment This week, March 11-17, is Canadian Agricultural Safety Week. I checked the December 2011 newsletter of the Canadian Agricultural Safety Association (CASA) to see if farm safety programs were having positive effects. The report was disappointing; it revealed that “there has been very little change in the perceptions and practices around farm safety in the past three years.” This was despite the fact that 90 percent of farm producers say they want to know more about how to make their farms safer.

One could presume that all farmers would be aware of CASA’s three-year Plan-Farm-Safety program scheduled to run in the years 2010-11-12. In 2012, its third year of implementation, only 10 per cent of farmers have developed the first year’s objective: a written safety plan. There was no report about actual action taken to reduce hazards on farms during 2011. We must wait to see the 2012 safety results that will be measured by the number of serious injuries and deaths.

Why is it that farmers seem to be lax in practicing safety?

According to CASA, producers claim it takes too much time; they feel it is unnecessary and too costly; they don’t know how or where to start; “but the top reason was difficulty in breaking old habits.”

In 2010, there were 22 farm fatalities in Alberta compared to 10 in Saskatchewan and an average of 15 per year in Alberta. The difference was attributed, by some, to be Alberta’s lack of regulatory legislation relative to occupational health and safety on certain kinds of ranching and farming and domestic servants; and also on the fact that Saskatchewan and most other provinces more severely prosecute employers who do not provide a safe working environment.

The Alberta government’s response was to appoint a 15-member Farm Safety Advisory Council, nine of whom were farmers, “to bring together government and industry working towards the shared goal of improved farm safety.” The Alberta Federation of Labour noted at the time that not only agricultural corporations but also at least some of the farm members objected to the imposition of occupational health and safety standards stating that “farmers should regulate themselves.”

In addition to CASA’s farm safety program there are others. The Alberta Farm Safety Centre, a not-for-profit society, develops and delivers farm safety information to Alberta schools. The UFA “Safety Smarts” school program is said to be getting results. A number of industrial corporations provide safety literature and participate in seminars and workshops on the safe use of their products.

CASA’s vision for 2012 is a country “where most farms follow a safety plan; where children play safely; where employees are well trained; where augers have guards; where tractors have ROPS.” That’s the vision. Only farm workers, both employers and employees, can make it happen. The choice is theirs.

When safety is a priority on farms, it reduces the potential for financial loss due to injury, death and lost productivity, and keeps children and workers safe. Everyone is a winner. If safety procedures are not voluntarily practiced, it would not be surprising if the Alberta government intervened with regulatory legislation. There’s still work to be done to change Canada’s farm safety culture.

A scan of the daily news headlines should reveal to most anyone a litany of factors that cause people to show antipathy and hate to others. The list of these sources of prejudice is long and encompasses nearly every imaginable social category – ethnicity, physical appearance, gender, sexuality, age, religion, political beliefs, to name but a few. It's because of the potential to destructively impact so many of us that researchers have spent considerable effort studying the psychology of prejudice.

One focus of prejudice research has been to track how opinions of social groups change in response to varying social and historical conditions. While a strong stigma remains attached to many historically marginalized groups (e.g., African Americans, Jews, First Nations peoples, women, gays and lesbians), one of the strongest current prejudices may surprise many. Recent findings indicate many people hold highly negative opinions towards those who profess having no religion -- the group who researchers label the non-religious or irreligious.

Just how negative are these opinions? In the United States, recent Gallup polls found that atheism was by far the most negatively viewed trait in a potential presidential candidate, compared to other known prejudices such as those directed toward homosexuals, Mormons, Blacks, or Hispanics. Closer to home, similar findings were documented with university students in Vancouver.

The respondents, who themselves were not very religious, rated atheists as the least trustworthy type of person -- much less trust-

Second Thought

worthy than Muslims, feminists, and gay men and, remarkably, about as trustworthy as convicted rapists.

But what are the roots of this kind of prejudice? At present, there's no consensus in the research community but several possibilities exist. One explanation for why this prejudice is so strong is that it has long been sanctioned by religious institutions who view non-religiousness as a direct competitor for believers. While this helps explain some of the open hostility exchanged between religious and non-religious figureheads in many public forums, not all members of religions who condone anti-atheist prejudice dislike the irreligious.

A second explanation for the dislike is that non-religious people who publicly voice their beliefs

are erroneously perceived to be unwilling to abide by a social contract proposed by prominent religious institutions advocating for social norms such as cooperation and social responsibility. This is likely another part of the puzzle but it only helps explain dislike of people who publicly identify as non-religious.

One final reason for the distrust of irreligious people is that the social category is so amorphous that it lends itself to much stereotyping and fear of the unknown. Admittedly, researchers have only just begun to study this group and little is known about them other than crude demographics. The non-religious tend to be young, educated, urban-dwellers but are much like the rest of the population in many other ways. They are not criminals or antisocial deviants and many do not dislike the religious. They are also as diverse in their belief systems as the religious, often shunning reductionist labels like atheism.

Why is understanding and reducing this kind of prejudice important? In 2001, the census showed the province of Alberta had the second highest percentage of non-religious residents in country, with just over 1 in 5 claiming no religion. Given recently published population growth numbers in Canada, this group is only projected to grow. In order to ensure our communities continue to thrive and be welcoming to all, it is critical that an open and honest dialogue be struck to dispel some of the myths and bad feelings. Without such dialogue and discussion the civility and vitality of our communities is likely to be threatened.

Founders Days planning underway Mark your calendars for the Camrose Founders Day Festival, taking place on August 10, 11 and 12. Many exciting events are hosted across the city, celebrating events and people who made our community the fantastic place it is today.

Kodiaks contribute

Last night we attended the Kodiak award ceremonies and listened to the comments on this season. We most whole-

heartedly agree with Boris on the state of this season. The Kodiaks may have lost out in the early rounds this year, but I saw the team as hugely successful this year.

We had the distinct pleasure of billeting two of the Kodiaks this year and saw first hand how the boys contributed to the community. We watched as the boys left to read at the schools with enthusiasm in their eyes, how they played hide and seek with my six-year-old granddaughter and came willingly to my grandson's hockey games when their schedule allowed.

They took part in many community activities and saw this as giving back for the privilege of playing as a Kodiak. Quite obviously this attitude must come

from the top and that is wonderful for community.

We heard about how a group of Kodiaks took part in assisting teachers at one of the schools, and how those small little kids interacted with those big six-foot boys. I believe this is something those small kids will remember for a very long time as something very special.

We may have had to send our two Kodiaks home today for the summer, but I know one thing: we can hardly wait for August. It looks to be a great year with an incredible bunch of young men ready and eager not only to play hockey, but to give back in some very positive ways.

Go Kodiaks Go! Brian and Teri Sikstrom, Camrose

Maintain heating systems The maintenance of a home heating system varies according to what type of fuel is used: oil, electricity, or gas. An oil furnace and electric baseboard heaters should have annual check-ups, while a gas furnace need only be checked every two years.

Because of their complexity, the maintenance of oil and natural gas heating systems should be left to professionals.

Many people believe that electric baseboards need very little maintenance, probably because electricity is often described as “clean” energy. Late in the fall, however, when the baseboards are used for the first time, you may notice a burning smell emanating from them.

That smell is the result of an accumulation of dust over the summer; it burns, right there on the heating elements. Little attention is given to the smell, as people consider it to be a minor problem and think that there’s

no need for alarm. Unfortunately, that dust becomes carcinogenic when it burns — perhaps we’d spend more time cleaning baseboard heaters if we knew that! Simply vacuuming the inside and outside of the baseboards is all that’s necessary in order to solve this problem.

If the windows in your home tend to fog up, you should be aware that it is not caused by a problem with your heating system. It happens because the heat in your house fails to reach the windows. Bug screens should be removed to allow warm air to circulate more freely. It’s also important to air out the home, even during the winter. Don’t worry about losing heat; if you let humidity build up in an extremely airtight home, it becomes very difficult to heat anyway. As often as possible, leave the fans working in the bathroom and in the kitchen stove hood to evacuate surplus humidity.

Clean your air ducts A heating system that is working well is essential to the comfort and health of homeowners.

If you haven't done so, it's a good idea to have the heating system inspected to ensure everything is working smoothly. Failure to clean equipment, primarily creosote from solidfueled heating equipment and chimneys, is a leading cause of home-heating fires.

While the majority of homeowners are safe, it cannot hurt to inspect and clean the elements involved in most home furnaces and other equipment. Not only will this help prevent possible fires or help pinpoint possible problem areas that could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, this maintenance can help produce cleaner indoor air.

In addition to routinely replacing the air filter on the furnace, it is commonly recommended to have the air ducts and venting throughout the home cleaned. Although there is no proven evidence that trapped dust and other debris in air ducts can pose a risk to personal health, many people prefer to keep the ductwork clear in the event particles may be hazardous or contribute to asthma or other breathing difficulties. This cleaning can be done once a year or every couple of years, depending on personal preference.

Duct cleaning is recommended if any of these factors are present: * There is substantial visible mold growth present. * Ducts are infested with vermin. * Dust or debris are literally clogging the ducts. * You can see dust or debris blowing into the home through supply registers (vents) in the home.

There are many companies today that will service furnaces and heating systems and provide duct cleaning. As with any business, their reliability and honesty will have

to be checked by the homeowner. When seeking a company to clean the ducts in your home, first ask friends and family members for referrals.

Also, utilize customer review Web sites or simply conduct a Web search for the company to learn of its reputation. You can also contact the Better Business Bureau.

Research has not demonstrated the effectiveness of any chemical additives or sealants placed in or on ducts for the prevention of bacteria growth or inhibition of dust formation.

It is advisable to steer clear of companies that try to push additional services or chemical applications that actually may hinder health more than dust.

An untrained person can actually damage the ducts or heating and cooling system.

That is why it is important to do your research. A properly done job should include cleaning all of the components of the system, including coils and condenser parts of the HVAC system itself. The job should take between 3 and 8 hours and will range in cost from $450 to $1,000. The "blow and go" specials advertised for $100 may inadvertently cause damage or dislodge dust inappropriately.

The most effective way to clean air ducts and ventilation systems is to employ "source removal" methods of cleaning.

This requires a contractor to place the system under negative pressure through the use of a specialized, powerful vacuum. While the vacuum draws air through the system, devices are inserted into the ducts to dislodge any debris that might be stuck to interior surfaces. The debris can then travel down the ducts to the vacuum, which removes it from the system and the home.

Although there are no proven health benefits, air duct cleaning can help improve indoor air quality and may help an HVAC system operate more efficiently.

Getting to Know Your Local Furnace Cleaner

WHY CLEAN YOUR FURNACE SYSTEM? TO CONTROL THE DUST IN YOUR HOME! Each time your furnace comes on, dust and airborne contaminates are carried with the flow of the warm air throughout your home. The air is recycled through the cold air returns. Over time, the system becomes saturated with contaminates and is a natural breeding ground for bacteria, mold and fungus.

Symptoms of poor indoor air quality may include rashes, eye problems, headaches, colds, coughing, dizziness, breathing problems and fatigue.

When Should You CLEAN Your FURNACE SYSTEM? • After RENOVATIONS (construction creates dust) • Before you have a NEW FURNACE installed • When moving into a NEW or “New to you” home (a fresh start) • Every 4-5 years as part of your regular home MAINTENANCE Clean More Often: - If members of your family have ALLERGIES - If you have a lot of ACTIVITY in your home - If you have PETS in your home - If you’ve had MICE in your home

Reasons to clean a furnace A dirty furnace is also a hazard to your health as the hot and moist environment inside the furnace duct work is an ideal condition for many harmful bacteria, fungus and viruses. These microbes pollute your indoor air and cause many health issues including asthma, sneezing, coughing and other respiratory diseases along with allergic reactions. Every time air is circulated through these dirty ducts you and your family is exposed to these pollutants. That is the reason all manufacturers suggest to opt for furnace cleaning at least once a year. However, the frequency may vary depending upon other factors. If you smoke for example, you should consider cleaning your furnace more than once a year. Similarly if you have pets that shed then also a high frequency is advised. The dander of these pet are also drawn inside the furnace as the air is circulated in and out of the system which may cause allergic reactions in many individuals.

If you have moved to a home that has been recently constructed or if you have done some renovation work inside the house, it is the right time to call a reputable furnace cleaning company.

Another important concern that demands more frequent furnace cleaning, is an illness of a family

Quartette at Bailey

By Dan Jensen

One of Canada's most successful quartettes will be taking to the stage at the historic Bailey Theatre.

Singer/songwriters Sylvia Tyson, Cindy Church, Gwen Swick and Caitlin Hanford will be performing a variety of music ranging from blues gospel and folk to country, jazz and pop March 14 (8 p.m.) in what might just be Camrose's second biggest musical concert of the year.

Quartette has received several Juno nominations, won a Canadian Country Music Award for best vocal collaboration, performed with major symphony orchestras across Canada, and recorded the CMT-TV special A Quartette Christmas. In October of 2007, Quartette released recording number six, Down At the Fair, produced by legendary guitarist arranger and producer Colin Linden.

Quartette has performed in front of thousands of people across Canada since making its debut at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre in 1994. The group's concerts have been described as a magical musical journey.

"What makes Quartette so distinctive, other than its grasp of a wide variety of musical styles – including folk, roots, country and bluegrass – is the beauty of their four different voices harmonizing in a wondrous blend together," said John Garvin, Atlantic Seabreeze, in September, 2007. "They are aware of their gifts, and yet are somehow unassuming. Their voices are so strikingly different and when people with really different nuances to their voices sing harmony and start nailing the harmony, it is a sound like no other."

All four members of Quartette have impressive resumes.

Tyson has recorded 20 albums in total, seven as a solo artist and 13 with the folk/country music duo Ian & Sylvia in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1970s she hosted CBC Radio's roots music series Touch the Earth and CBC-TV's Country in My Soul.

She received Canada's highest civilian award, the Order of Canada, in 1995, and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992 and 2003 respectively.

Her book, Joyner's Dream, has been released by Harper Collins.

"Tyson told Maclean's Magazine in a 2003 interview that one of Quartette's biggest strengths is the ability to blend voices.

"You can have four really good voices and not have a blend.

The blend is a gift. There are certain songs we sing where it is the sound of the voices that will make people cry, not necessarily the words of the songs."

Cindy Church has been a leading figure in Canada's roots music scene for two decades.

Originally from Bible Hill, Nova Scotia, her musical influences were primarily country and traditional music.

"I grew up in a country music household," she said. "Strictly Hank Snow, Kitty Wells, and Jean Shepard."

Church has released three solo CDs – Love On The Range (1994), Just A Little Rain (1995) and the self-titled Cindy Church (1996).

Larry Delaney, Country Music News, said Church has that special magic to be able to attract an ear with her clear plaintive, high country vocal delivery.

"It's a spellbinding experience to listen to her create vocal imagery with her singing."

Church co-founded the traditional country trio Great Western Orchestra, which recorded an eponymous album for Sony Music Canada in 1989.

Hanford and her husband, Chris Whiteley, carved a path in the Canadian country music scene in the 1980s with several Juno nominations and many charted singles of original country songs. She has had many songs published in Nashville, including a cut on the Rounder recording A Little Girl, A Big Four-Lane, by Alecia Nugent.

Hanford's first solo album, Bluer Skies, established her as an artist with a restless and wideranging talent.

"In one moment she can turn the blues into a country ballad, in the next moment spice a bluegrass rocker with a subversive Cajun twist," said Stuart Mclean, CBC Radio. "As if that's not enough she then stands the whole album on its head with some classic jazz. That it all hangs together so beautifully is a testament to Hanford's breakyour-heart voice."

A saxophone player with Country Sunshine performed at the Camrose Country, Feb. 25. The next Camrose Country Opry will be on March 17 at 7 p.m. in the Bailey Theatre.

Quartette to perform at Bailey Continued from page 11

Swick is an accomplished singer/sonwriter, guitarist and bassist who lives in Elora, Ontario. Her solo releases include Gwen Swick (1993), A Pebble of Mercy (1995), and Love and Gold (2002).

Additionally, she recorded five albums with the traditional folk trio Tamarack during the early 1990s.

Swick's music has been featured on several film soundtracks, including Never Talk to Strangers (1995), and Terrance Odette's award-winning Canadian features Heater (1999) and Sleeping Dogs (2006).

She was once described by the London Free Press as "simply one of the most imaginative singer/songwriters in the country."

All members of Quartette understand that the songs they pitch have to be fun to sing, not just once, but perhaps for years.

"We've all had songs turned down," said Tyson in an interview with Maclean's. "It has nothing to do with the quality of the song. It has to do with how it works for Quartette."

Tickets for the Quartette performance may be purchased at the Bailey Theatre box office.

Beware of identity theft crimes

By Murray Green

The Camrose Police Service is asking citizens to pay attention to schemes, scams and frauds.

Identity theft can occur when personal information is collected without your authority. Information such as bank loan applications, credit card information, mortgages and store accounts must be kept away from public

Substitute Teacher Appreciation Week March 12 - 16, 2012

view and easy access. "Examine your wallet and remove unnecessary documents. You don't need to carry your social insurance number or birth certificate with you," said Const. Matt Wilton, crime prevention officer. "Protect yourself by shredding any items of a personal nature, lock your vehicle at all times, be cautious when giving out credit card or pin numbers, pick up mail on a regular basis and ask why people need your personal information."

Phishing

Internet scammers use e-mails to lure financial or personal information from you. "It could be a professional looking e-mail asking you for your account number or password because they are having problems," said Const. Wilton. "If it is not your regular bank, you may catch it right away. But sometimes scammers hit it lucky with the right bank and it sounds legitimate to you. Remember banks don't use e-mails to do business."

Credit cards

New technology cards with chip numbers are not as easy to steal information from. However, scammers are good at finding ways around that. "We have heard about people who install overlays to bank machines.

When you use the machine, the key strokes are recorded. Later the person comes back and picks up the overlay and they have a few days of transactions on it," explained the officer. "These tools are designed to capture the date embedded in the magnetic stripe and your pin number. When you are at a store always watch that your card is not double swiped."

Home scams

Mystery shopping is not a

form of employment. A company may ask you to make a purchase and evaluate the service. A person may say that they will give you a cheque to deposit and then ask for part of it back. They ask to send part of it back through Western Union or MoneyGram.

"The cheque will be void and you are out the money that you sent.

Another example is someone asks you to help them in a foreign country. They trade a fake cheque for your good one and you are out the money that was sent," said Const. Wilton.

Lottery scams

Everyone has received a letter or e-mail saying they have won the lottery or someone else had and they need you to pick it up. "They ask for money to cover the cost of administration fees. Just keep in mind that any money you send, probably will be lost."

Inheritance scams

These are similar to lottery scams. "Sometimes these look very professional and look like they come from a lawyer's office and they even match your last name. "Your information is requested or you are asked to provide money up front. Regardless of the request, the result is the same. You will never see your money again," said Const.

Wilton.

"We certainly welcome people to call us and give us information if you think someone is scamming you. The RCMP have a national program called Phonebusters and they work on tracking some of these scams."

Call Phonebusters from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. eastern time at 1-888-495-8501 or toll free, 1-888-654-9426.

Alberta’s municipalities are growing, which means there’s a growing need to provide police and fire services, and build and maintain roads, bridges, public transit systems and waterlines. Out of every dollar paid in taxes, the federal and provincial governments collect ninety cents, with just ten cents left over for your local community. It’s time for a new relationship between municipalities and the province, where municipalities have the resources to do their jobs. It just makes sense.

Vancouver band mixes international sounds with electronics

By Murray Green

Delhi 2 Dublin is a Vancouver-based Canadian band that mixes various electronic sounds from across Europe and has a distinct Delhi feel to it.

The electronic rock band will be playing in Camrose on March 23 at The Bailey Theatre.

It will be part of the Rose City Roots Music Society series and the Augustana Student Associa-

tion to raise money for The Open Door, a local organization dedicated to helping youth at risk.

Delhi 2 Dublin plays an energetic mix of Bhangra, Celtic, Dub Reggae and Electronica with a

dash of global rhythms and club beats. Band members Tarun Nayar, Sanjay Seran, Andrew Kim and Ravi Binning added members Jaron Freeman-Fox and Sara Fitzpatrick to further diversify the musical influences.

With four albums in five years, the band has been busy. The latest album Planet: Electrified was released last year. A new album is slated to be released in August.

"We spent more time developing the lyrics for the songs on the new album and we will be singing some of those in Camrose," said Tarun Nayar, of the band. "Hopefully we are evolving as a band and getter better with each one."

Planet: Electrified is a collection of 10 hits from Delhi 2 Dublin in a remix format. Producers took their past songs and added an electronic twist into everything from electro house to techno and drum ‘n’ bass. “We love it. It’s amazing to hear tracks we’re so familiar with done in a totally different way. We’re also really happy to be collaborating with some of our heroes – from world electronica legend Gaudi to tropical hipster Poirier to UK-based drum ‘n’ bass heads Shiva Soundsystem, said Tarun.

"A remix album is something done by other producers and is a chance for us to have some fun with. If something comes up that is cool, we mash it up and incorporate it into our live show."

Delhi 2 Dublin hasn't forgotten Canada in the process. The band has developed great relationships by touring across the country with people like DJ RSK, aka sonicanimation (Rossland), Kashoo (Nelson) and Adham Shaikh (Nelson).

There is also a brand new track called “Give It Away” as a result of working with two new fiddle players. The song is a

departure for Delhi 2 Dublin and features a string section and traditional Punjabi “Heer Ranjha” lyrics.

A live collaboration put together in 2006 as a one-off performance piece for a club night in Vancouver called Delhi to Dublin was so well-received that requests for additional performances led to the official formation of Delhi 2 Dublin. “Not being able to fit into any specific genre allows the band to create whatever we like and not be judged for it. Our audience expects nothing less,” said Tarun.

A new line-up, a new album on the way, and new international touring opportunities all signal that originality and evolution are all part of the Delhi 2 Dublin experience. "In Camrose, we will have one of the highest energy shows you will ever see. Depending on the space we have, we like to use a lot of different instruments. We are trying to pare it down with our new album."

Canada is one of the leaders in electronic sounds. "I think Canada's hip hop and Indie music are Canada's strong points in the industry," said Tarun.

"The song I like to perform now is a new one that will be coming out on our new album.

Camrose will receive an opportunity to hear that before it comes out. We get to use some instruments we haven't tried before and we have a lot of drumming in it. It is a lot of fun and is called "Turn up the Stereo."

For information check the www.delhi2dublin.com web site.

Tickets are available at the Bailey Theatre and through the Rose City Roots Society at the door.

Charlie Killam Cougars sweep regional hoops

By Murray Green The Charlie Killam School Cougars captured the junior high title in both the girls' and boys' divisions in basketball.

Three of the four teams the school entered made it to the final regional tournament on Feb. 25. The CK1 and CK2 girls played in Hay Lakes and the CK1 boys played in Daysland. Both the CK1 girls and CK1 boys garnered gold medals. "This has never been accomplished before where both the girls and boys won in the same year," said school athletic director Jayson Boyson.

"We won our division to advance to the regional tournament. There are three divisions, so six teams went to regionals," explained Jarod Hovde, a member of the winning boys' squad. "We played Killam in the first game and won by a fair amount. Then we played Tofield, which was a good, tough game. We played Bawlf in the finals, a team from our own division."

Bawlf won the first of three meetings between the clubs.

Then CKS1 won the last two.

"We won the first quarter in

the final and then they came back and almost beat us," said Jarod. "It was exciting to play them again and we knew what to expect from them."

CKS1 won the final 69-59 with Jarod setting up a lot of the plays. "I'm a point guard, so it is my job to pass the ball around and bring the ball up the court."

Paul Lange and Bruce Kerr coached the winning squad.

The girls also reaped the benefits of peaking at the regional basketball tournament. "We beat OLMP to advance to regionals and then played Sedgewick in one of the hardest games all year to start regionals. It was a rough game because they are aggressive. We only beat them by two points, said player Jenaya McKinstry.

"We played Strome next and beat them by quite a bit. We met Killam in the final and beat them 48-24."

With only four Grade 9 girls and boys on each of the teams, the school should be able to field strong teams again next season. Coaching the girls was Brittany Jones.

The Charlie Killam School girls' basketball defeated Killam in the regional final 48-24 to win the championship for junior high. The team included, front row from left to right, Braxtyn Horbay, Brooke Bauer, River Kelly, Ashlyn White, Kailyn Parsons and coach Brittany Jones. Back row from left to right, Jenaya McKinstry, Rhonda Thygesen, Meghan Laberge, Tally Findlay, Morgan Spruyt and Karli Phillips. Missing is Amanda Gibson.

CKS beat Bawlf 69-59 in the boys' regional final in basketball. The winning team included, front row from left to right, coach Paul Lange, Colton Leslie, Parker Kelly, Dayne Milgate and Cole Lewis. Middle row, from left to right, Robbie Fulton, Drew Lyster, Bret Tetz, Jarod Hovde and coach Bruce Kerr. Back row, from left to right, Cody Milgate, Alex Sabjanic, Devon Moss, Spencer Burton and Thomas Hycha.

Missing is Shawn Morin.

Mayor Chalmers delivers State of Camrose address

By Dan Jensen

Growth

Chalmers told the Chamber the 10.6 per cent growth in the city population since 2006 has led to the construction of 500 more dwellings and a ranking of 15 out of more than 100 census agglomeration areas for highest growth.

"We are a leading municipality for growth in Canada.

"We have had a good run of residential homes, condos and apartments, and the residential subdivisions are developing at a good pace."

Chalmers said the City works with Camrose County as much as possible to develop a regional economic development strategy.

"Camrose is known as a regional hub and we work well with our partners to develop a great quality of life."

Chalmers said the community projects and facilities, recreation and education, arts and culture – including the Bailey Theatre, Edgeworth Centre and future Performing Arts Centre – contribute to the com-

Permit activity

opment because the City hopes to be sold out of lots in Valleyview by the end of the year.

Chalmers said the serviced land in the Mohler industrial subdivision has been sold out.

"We sold the last remaining four lots in our industrial subdivision and there is some development taking place on a couple of those properties."

Chalmers said the City of Camrose recognizes the value of private sector investment and will do all it can to encourage continued participation.

Chalmers said that while building permit activity was lower in 2011 than it was in the boom years of 2006 and 2007, it is still on par with where it was in 2005.

"Our building permits were over $30 million in 2011. Our best year was in 2007 when we were at $96 million, and at that time the economy in Alberta was the best ever."

Chalmers said the City of Camrose is looking to have a good year in 2012 in terms of land development.

"The Valleyview lots have been selling well this year and there are a couple of developers looking at various west end properties. There has also been continued growth in several residential areas."

Chalmers said City council will have to provide direction on further residential land devel-

Chalmers said the City of Camrose is continuing to conduct research on a possible new location for City Hall.

"We hope to have a location selected very soon, which should dictate our next steps."

Chalmers doesn't expect work on the new public works facility to begin for another seven years or more.

Another major project the City is planning is the construction of a new wastewater treatment plant.

"As the city's population approaches the 20,000 threshold specified by the province, we need to start planning for significant upgrades to the facility that will likely result in a fully automated mechanical treatment facility which will replace the existing aerated lagoon system," said Chalmers. "This will

the costs associated with it. We are faced with increased utility costs, fuel costs, maintenance costs, labour costs and legislative requirements in all areas of the City's operation."

Chalmers said Camrose property taxes compare very favourably to the property taxes in other communities throughout Alberta.

He said because Camrose is not a bedroom community to a larger centre it needs to be self sustaining.

Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers spoke about growth, capital projects, finances, building permit activity, land development and quality of service in his annual State of the City address at the monthly general meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Mar. 7.

Mayor Chalmers munity through the multiplier effect.

"These facilities will give regional visitors even more incentive to spend their money here. A dollar spent on attending an event in Camrose circulates and recirculates within the economy, multiplying the effects of the original dollars spent."

Taxes and finances

Chalmers noted that City council has worked hard to keep the quality of service high and the budget increase at 3.95 per cent.

He added that the lodge authority requisition of $129,546, increased the tax levy by .65 per cent.

"The additional 500 dwellings have assisted in increasing the tax base, however growing cities cost more to operate as growth in no way pays for all

Capital projects

be a big challenge for the City due to the large cost. The location will not be finalized until after we hear back from the province. We anticipate that the new facility will be constructed somewhere in the vicinity of the existing lagoons to take advantage of the infrastructure that is already in the ground."

Survey results

Chalmers was pleased with an Ipsos Reid survey last summer which showed that 97 per cent of Camrosians feel their quality of life is good or very good, and that 78 per cent feel they are receiving good or very good value for their tax dollars.

The survey also identified transportation, municipal services and social issues as three areas of high priority.

"As a result of the survey feedback council established a transportation advisory committee," said Chalmers. "The committee has been meeting on a regular basis and will report back to council in June of this year, The advisory committee mandate is to look at the needs and explore strategies for community transportation within the city of Camrose."

Chalmers said the City continues to participate with various agencies and developers throughout several affordable housing initiatives.

Handbells concert at Augustana campus March 17 The University of Alberta Mixed Chorus, under the direction of Dr. Robert de Frece, will present their 68th Annual Concert in the Faith and Life Chapel on the Augustana Campus on Saturday, March 17, at 7:30 p.m.

The concert is a tribute to Professor Richard Eaton, who directed the choir from 1947 to 1967 – every concert performed by the UAMC since 1967 has included music that he introduced to the UAMC's repertoire during his 20 years as its conductor. The program will include motets by Palestrina and Schütz, works by Canadian composers Healey Willan and Welford Russell, the soaring melodies of Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Eaton's Three French Canadian Folk Songs, arranged for the University of Alberta Mixed Chorus in the 1950s.

The program will also include performances of Schubert's Marche Militaire, Leroy Anderson's Bugler's Holiday, and the theme from the motion picture Pirates of the Caribbean by the U of A Faculty of Education Handbell Ringers, who have been associated with the UAMC since the group was formed

by Robert de Frece in 1988. A handbell quartet will also play the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah. The concert will open with the choir and ringers combining in a stirring arrangement of Martin Luther's well-known chorale, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. The evening will close with a delightful medley of songs from Lionel Bart's hit musical, Oliver!

The University of Alberta has over 125 members and has presented their annual concert in our community for a number of years. They are always a welcome addition to the Augustana Fine Arts Calendar of Events, enjoying a warm reception from Camrose audiences at every performance. Tickets may be purchased at the door and proceeds will go to the Augustana Choir's spring tour to Hungary in May.

Mayor delivers annual State of Camrose address Continued from page 22

"The affordable housing development at the Wild Rose Arena site started construction in 2010. The City donated the land and about $6 million was contributed by the Government of Alberta."

New partnership Chalmers said the City of Camrose has partnered with the Government of Alberta and Community Futures to provide a service in the former Camrose Regional Economic Development building

to local and regional businesses.

"It will help the City to support existing businesses and small business succession, and provide a resource to identify the needs of the community.

This will ensure that the city is a welcoming and supportive business environment and will maximize the use of the City's facilities and strengthen Camrose's role as a regional centre."

Camrose Composite High School students have done it again. They captured Science Olympic gold medals on March 3.

Seven students and two staff members from CCHS formed a team to go to the Shaw Conference Centre to participate in APEGGA’s Edmonton Science Olympics.

CCHS staff members Jamie Miller and Tina Olson lead the group of students consisting of Myles Ellert, Sam MacDonald, Robin Manaloor, Zach Matiushyk, Nathaniel Nagy, Damien Pizzy and Griffin Tweedy.

"Congratulations to the CCHS Science Olympics team for bringing home a gold medal in the musical instruments competition, as well as the gold medal as the overall champions," said principal Jim Ofrim. "CCHS is the only team that has won a gold medal two years in a row. Event organizer, Barry Edgar, made a special point of congratulating the team and stating that to win a gold medal in two consecutive years is a major accomplishment."

Camrose students competed against 24 other teams includ-

ing Old Strathcona, Strathcona, Jasper Place, Harry Ainlay, McNally, Lillian Osborne, and Salisbury Composite.

"We were put together as a science team after school. We received a package of instructions, about a month before the competition and these are the take home events we have to do," explained Robin. "This year the three projects were building musical instruments, solder five little circuit boards and make them work, and we had to build a truss using popsicle sticks. Our truss ended up holding 23 kilograms, which gave us third place in that event."

CCHS won first place in the musical instruments category and first overall. "We are not sure about the other pre-determined events, but we must have scored fairly well to win the overall award," said Robin.

"We had some quick thinking tasks on the day of the event.

We had to make a hockey stick out of styrofoam and carbon fibre.

One of us had to shoot a ball and the velocity we could generate was our score. The other one was a series of tests, eight to be exact.

We were given two minerals and we had to complete a lab report."

The team was made up of students with different strengths and they had to work together as a team. "The teachers wanted students who were good at biology, chemistry, physics and putting things together. We needed students with good wood working and mechanical skills as well, and not just scientists."

The blend of four Grade 12 and three Grade 11 students worked out well for the school.

"It's good to have Grade 11 students on the team to see what it is like and pass that information on for next year's team."

This year, there were no returning students. "Winning two years in a row shows how strong this school is in academics, sports, music and we have a lot of good programs," said Robin. "It feels really good to beat large Edmonton schools with large school populations. We were shocked when our school was called in winning the competition. We felt strong about the music instruments, but not sure about the other events."

The students have been preparing for the competition since the beginning of February by working on the projects after school. "We are all passionate about science," said the future University of Alberta biochemistry student.

"Our leaders were a great help and kept us on track," said Robin. "Without them, none of this would have been possible."

Murray Green, Camrose Booster CCHS staff member Jamie Miller, Nathaniel Nagy, Sam MacDonald, Robin Manaloor, Griffin Tweedy, Zach Matiushyk, Damien Pizzy and staff member Tina Olson won the instrument category and the overall award at the Science Olympics in Edmonton. Student Myles Ellert is missing.

Remembering “Papa” In loving memory of

William Kerr

Dorothy Edna Bieber

Lawrence Weber

Cheryl Lynne McKinnon

Lily Ann Grams

Dorothy Edna McKibbon Bieber was born in Ponoka on February 27, 1942. She was the fourth child of Johnston and Edna McKibbon.

Her older siblings Denise, Melvil, and Stella, along with her younger sister Claire, were raised on a farm west of Ponoka.

Dorothy attended school in the area and moved to Ponoka when she was done school to work at a grocery store. She married Ed Bieber in 1960. They welcomed their first son, Melvin later that year. They lived in Ponoka until moving to the Bieber family farm in 1961. After a brief stay on the farm, they moved again to another farm in the area.

Gary was born in 1962, and the growing family moved to Elk Point in 1964, where they purchased the farm the kids grew up on.

Brenda was born in 1967 and Ken in 1968.

Dorothy was a very busy farm wife, raising chickens, turkeys, growing a large garden and helping with the farm work. The family spent a year in Barrhead from 1975 to 1976, but decided town living wasn’t what they wanted. They moved back to the farm at Elk Point and stayed there until 1984, when, seeking better land, they moved to the Camrose area. Dorothy then moved to Camrose in 1985, which is where she lived the remainder of her life. She worked a variety of jobs – Mcleods Hardware, Hacienda Hotel, Travelodge, and lastly Sobeys. Dorothy retired in 2002 and enjoyed walking, socializing with her friends, gardening, baking and babysitting her grandchildren. She moved to Sunrise in May 2011, when her failing health made independent living unmanageable.

Dorothy passed away suddenly on March 4, 2012.

Dorothy was predeceased by her sister Stella, her father Johnston, her mother Edna, and her sister Denise. She is survived by her brother Melvil; her sister Claire (Alan); her children Melvin, Gary (Valerie), Brenda (Ed) and Ken (Tamsin); numerous grandchildren; as well as nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed.

A funeral service was held on Friday, March 9, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. Garfield Vikse officiating. Inurnment will take place at a later date.

If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to The Alberta Lung Association or the charity of one’s choice. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Mr. Lawrence Weber of Camrose, formerly of Ankerton, passed away on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at the age of 88 years.

Lawrence was born in Edmonton, AB on March 11, 1923. In 1925, Lawrence and his mother Elizabeth Weber moved to the Henry Brausen farm where Elizabeth became the housekeeper for Henry and his two sons Bill and Ralph. In 1929, Elizabeth and Henry married and George was born in 1937.

Lawrence attended Grove School until he was 14 years old. His younger years were spent curling, going to dances and farming. He took up bowling once Heisler bowling alley was built. Lawrence’s house was always open to anyone who wanted to visit or play cards.

In 1992, Lawrence sold the farm and moved to Camrose which enabled him to spend time with the great-nieces and nephews, neighbours and friends. It became a Friday night tradition to take them for supper followed by a game or two of bowling. He continued this tradition until he had a heart attack in 2009. At this time he was unable to return home, so he moved into Faith House in Camrose; he still attended many Friday night suppers at George’s.

On March 1, he broke his hip, underwent surgery and his remaining days were spent surrounded by family and friends at St. Mary’s Hospital. He will be missed.

A prayer vigil was held on Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel.

A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on Monday, March 12, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church with Rev. Larry Pederson as Celebrant. Interment followed in Spring Lake Cemetery.

If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to Spring Lake Cemetery Fund or the charity of one’s choice. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Cheryl – wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend – passed away peacefully on March 6, 2012 at the tender age of 30, with her family at her side.

Cheryl, the youngest daughter of Scott and Lynne Davey and sister to Angie and Willy, was born in Daysland, AB, on October 9, 1981. Cheryl grew up in Camrose, Alberta where she met many of her lifelong friends.

Through these friends, she met her best friend and soulmate Curtis. On November 13, 2008, they were blessed with twin boys Aidan and Leelan. On February 14, 2009, Curtis, Aidan and Leelan asked Cheryl to marry them. This came to be on September 26, 2009.

Some of the loves of Cheryl’s life, besides her three boys, were baking, scrapbooking, photography and, most important, spending time with family and friends.

Deeply missed and forever loved by her husband Curtis, sons Aidan and Leelan; her parents Scott and Lynne; sister Angie; brother Willy (Franny); nephew Conlan; and her large circle of family and friends.

A funeral service was held on Friday, March 9, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. from Camrose United Church with Mary Ann Pastuck officiating.

In lieu of flowers and memorial donations, it is Cheryl’s request that you make a blood donation to Canadian Blood Services. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

– Mom and Dad, Barbara, Gordon, June and families

April 8, 1939 – March 20, 2011 Through tears, we saw you fading, And we watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again?

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone For part of us went with you, On the day God called you home.

If roses grow in Heaven, Lord, Please pick a bunch for us Place them in Papa’s arms, Tell them they’re from us.

Tell him that we love and miss him, And when he turns to smile Please place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for awhile.

Tell him that remembering him is easy, We do it every day But there is an ache within our hearts That will not go away.

Friends, don’t think of him as gone away, His journey has just begun Life holds so many facets And this earth is only one.

Think how he must be wishing That we could know today That nothing but our sadness Can really pass away.

Think of him as living In the hearts of those he touched For no one loved is ever lost And he is loved so much.

Lovingly remembered by Lois and family

January 2, 1925 – March 19, 2011 God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, So He put His arms around you, and whispered, “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, we watched you fade away.

Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands now rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Laure Elizabeth Hallman (nee Knaut) August 4, 1940–February 29, 2012 Laure Elizabeth, beloved mother, adored grandmother, cherished sister and loving aunt, departed this world on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at the age of 71. She left this life as it began, surrounded by family and everlasting love.

Laure was born on August 4, 1940 in Camrose, Alberta. She was the youngest child born to Ruth (nee Cox) and Wilfred Laurier (Duke) Knaut. She spent her formative years thoroughly enjoying the perks and benefits that being the much-loved baby sister of Rod, Marge and Nancy reaped. As a young woman, Laure attended Camrose Lutheran College where she forged meaningful friendships, many of which would continue for over 50 years. Laure made homes in both Calgary and Edmonton before settling her family on the shores of Sylvan Lake in 1971. She had spent blissful, glorious summers in Norglenwold since she was a small girl, and felt blessed to be able to raise her own children there. Laure had an immense love of life and she shared it freely. Friends and family were always welcome in Laure’s home ... when her home was full, her heart was full.

In 2006, she bid farewell to her beloved Sylvan Lake and relocated to Kelowna, BC where she quickly established cherished friendships and revelled in the graciousness of the Gallagher’s Canyon community. Laure loved her family, she loved her friends and she loved Palm Springs!

Whether she was on the back nine or singing karaoke at the clubhouse, she treasured her winters in the desert and was thankful that she was able to enjoy the life of a snowbird for over 20 years. The hearts of her family ached with her this past December when it became apparent that Palm Springs 2012 was not to be. She was truly grateful to have remained relatively healthy throughout her final journey, thanks to the love, support and prayers of so many. Her quick wit, generosity of spirit, uncompromising determination and great love of family which characterized her life never wavered and was with her to the very end. If the true meaning of life is in fact to love and be loved, then there is no doubt that Laure’s life had deep meaning.

She is survived by her devoted daughter, Sandra Langin (Shaun) of Kelowna, BC and her loyal son, Alan Hallman (Anne) of Calgary, AB. She will forever be in the hearts of her grandchildren, Amber, Michael, Chad and Paige. She also leaves her brother Rod (Shirley) Knaut of Camrose, AB and sister Marjorie Church of Kelowna, BC; along with 12 nieces and nephews. Laure was predeceased by her parents, Duke (1961) and Ruth Knaut (1984); sister Nancy Chrustawka (2006); and precious granddaughter Zoe Hallman (2004).

At Laure’s request a private family service will take place.

Laure’s family would like to express their heartfelt thanks and eternal gratitude to Auntie Marge for the many months spent watching over and caring for her deeply appreciative sister.

Her selfless devotion and unwavering faithfulness was a joy to watch, an example to be emulated and a true gift that will never be forgotten. Sincere thanks to Dr. Peter Butterworth whose kind and gentle bedside manner continually offered comfort and support not only to Laure, but to her family as well. Thanks also to the supportive staff at Kelowna Cancer Clinic, the nurses of Ward 4A at Kelowna General Hospital and the tireless, compassionate nurses and volunteers of Central Okanagan Hospice House for affording Laure the privilege of spending her final days as she lived her life, with grace and dignity. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial gifts be directed to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association, #104-1456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com.

Scorekeeper Doll dedicates her time for provincials

By Murray Green

With 24 teams converging in Camrose for the 3A basketball provincials, someone has to keep track of all the scores and data.

That dedicated scorekeeper volunteer is Mackenzie Doll.

"It started in Grade 9 when I was asked to do an assignment for leadership in physical education class," recalled Mackenzie. "I was asked to be a scorekeeper at some basketball games and it has carried on from Grade 10 to 12.

I love it. I really like basketball, and I play wheelchair basketball.

I like to figure out the plays, and think about how I can use that in my game."

The senior Trojans basketball teams at the Camrose Composite High School are hosting provincials from March 15 to 17.

In the past, Mackenzie has kept her volunteering to basketball.

"I did help at the massive volleyball tournament we had here because they needed some help.

Since I have basketball practice in Edmonton on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I usually help on Mondays, so I was the scorekeeper for mostly the junior teams."

Mackenzie enjoys keeping the numbers straight on the scoresheet. "Sometimes I help with the shot clock or score clock, but keeping track of the statistics is what I like to do best. I get to enjoy the game and help the teams at the same time."

She also helps others at the scorekeeper's table. "Sometimes other students forget to start the clock and I help them remember. We work as a three-member team," said Mackenzie. "It started as an assignment, but now I can help others learn more about the game and it has turned into a leadership role. It can be tough for them when they start. I do my best to help them, especially with the new rules."

Mackenzie will be scorekeeping for eight games on the weekend. "I'm in school during the day, so members of the junior teams will have to help when I'm in class or have practice. We have two games going on at the same

time so we need six people for each game time."

She is focused on her job throughout the game. "On the inside, I'm cheering for Camrose.

But, I have to concentrate on the game. If the other team makes a good shot, then I cheer for them too. I enjoy scorekeeping and watching the game at the same time."

Mackenzie is an alternate for the national junior women's team, as well as a player on the Edmonton Inferno and the Edmonton Northern Lights. "It's a really busy schedule. I want to focus more time on basketball. I'm coming back to CCHS next year because I miss a lot of school with basketball. I'm thinking of going to the States or to the University of Alberta. I want to receive a Bachelor of Arts and then maybe go into law."

CCHS will have a team in both the girls' and boys' divisions.

Both squads have been in the top 10 rankings all year. "It is really exciting to represent the school. I have played for Canada and this is almost as good where I can represent my school."

The opening ceremonies, with a theme of Running Down a Dream, will begin at 9 a.m. on Thursday, and a banquet at the Camrose Regional Exhibition will start at 6:45 p.m., with Leanne Doan as the guest speaker. The games begin after the opening ceremonies.

All teams start in the A pool and they will drop down to the B pool after a loss. C pool games will be played to determine the ranking of all 12 teams. The gold/ silver medal game for the girls will be played at 5 p.m. on Saturday. The boys' final follows at 7 p.m.

Day passes or weekend passes for the entire tournament can be purchased at the door. Games will be played at both CCHS gyms and at Augustana.

Both senior teams will be hosting playoff games on March 7 to determine the league champions.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Camrose Composite High School senior girls crushed the Sylvan Lake Lakers in the playoffs.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Mackenzie Doll will be busy at the scorekeeper's table during the 3A boys' and girls' basketball provincials at the Camrose Composite High School on March 15 to 17.

Skinstads retire together, leaving big boots to fill

By Murray Green

The Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta will be losing two coaching icons at the end of the season.

Vikings' coaches Joan Skinstad, the head of the crosscountry skiing program, and her husband Hans, the leader

Joan Skinstad

of the biathlon squads, will be stepping down as coaches when the season concludes in March.

Joan, a former Camrose skier, has coached the crosscountry team for 12 years.

Hans joined the Augustana coaching ranks three years ago.

They have made their decision to step down to pursue other professional opportunities.

Joan spent a total of 18 years coaching with much success at both Camrose Lutheran College and at Augustana. She represented Canada as a coach at the World Student Games in Austria 2005, Italy in 2007 and Turkey in 2011. Joan also coached at the World Junior Cross-country Skiing Championships in 2004 in Norway and the World Cup in 2005 in Canmore.

She has been active nationally in the Canada Winter Games by coaching in 2003, 2007 and 2011. Joan was the recipient of the Cross-country Canada Firth Award for her contribution to cross-country

Hans Skinstad

skiing in Canada and was named the Cross-country Alberta Coach of the Year in 2008. Joan (nee Osness) was the first and only woman who has been certified as a Level 4 coach in cross-country skiing. She was active on the board of directors for Cross-

country Alberta and nationally was part of a CCC Women On Skis Committee that worked to better the competitive environment for females in crosscountry skiing.

Hans has represented Canada internationally as the national team coach at the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary, was the national team coach in 1987 and 1988, a national coach at the World Biathlon Championships in France 1984 and Switzerland in 1985, as well as the World Student Games in Bulgaria in 1983 and Turkey in 2011. He also was the head coach for Team Alberta and the Northwest Territories.

In the past 12 seasons, the couple has placed two Augustana athletes on the Junior National Biathlon Team, one on the World Junior Cross-country Team, one on the World Cup Biathlon Team and numerous athletes on the World Student Games Team in both sports. They have

numerous national champions in cross-country skiing and national medalists in biathlon to their credit.

"The passion for both sport and for athletes has been very evident in their daily efforts to help student athletes excel in both sport and academically," said Augustana Athletic Director Greg Ryan.

"As an athletic director, I would like to extend my appreciation to both Joan and Hans for their dedicated leadership to the cross-country ski and biathlon programs that enabled our student athletes to achieve more than they had imagined possible. It has been a pleasure working with them and I wish them the very best in their future endeavours."

The loss of the two great coaches will leave big boots to fill. "Decisions about future leadership and directions for cross -country and biathlon programs will be made in the coming weeks," said Greg.

Dodge Ram HDs No stranger to hard work

By Dan Jensen

The new Dodge Ram Heavy Duties at Camrose Chrysler are no slouches when it comes to heavy work.

Ram Truck and Cummins have developed an enhanced high output turbo diesel engine for 2500 and 3500 models that produces 350 horsepower and 800 lb.-ft. of torque.

"It is the most durable and reliable engine in its class," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier.

The engine is backed up by a choice of a standard, class exclusive G56 six-speed manual transmission, or an available six-speed automatic. The six-speed manual has an ultra-low first gear ratio, which makes it ideal for heavy hauling requirements, while the six-speed automatic offers ease of driveability and towing.

The standard 5.7 litre HEMI V-8 delivers 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.

"It comes standard with a new heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission and offers Electronic Range Select, which provides a unique shift schedule that minimizes gear hunting while towing heavy loads," said Mercier.

"It also provides automatic downshifting capability while decelerating."

Transfer cases available with the Ram Heavy Duties include the NV271, a manual unit standard on ST and Power Wagon models, and the NV273, which offers electric shift-on-the-fly.

Ram Power Wagons feature additional ground clearance, electric-locking front and rear differentials, electronic disconnecting sway bar, Bilstein shocks, off-road tires and underbody skid plate protection.

"The Power Wagons are equipped with features that are useful in extreme duty environments such as oil fields, border patrol, logging industry and emergency support," said Mercier.

Towing ability

Ram 3500s equipped with the Max Tow package option offers best-in-class 22,750 lb. maximum trailer weight and up to a class-leading 30,000 lb. gross combined weight rating.

"Ram Heavy Duty truck owners need pulling power – 79 per cent of them rate towing as extremely important," said Fred Diaz, president and CEO of the Ram Truck brand. "The 800 lb.-ft. of torque combined with the fiveyear, 100,000 km powertrain warranty and Cummins' proven reputation for reliability are a direct response to our customers' high expectations."

The backbone of the 2012 Ram Heavy Duties is a hydro-formed, fully boxed frame with advanced torsional rigidity and stiffness. A coil-spring suspension setup is used in the front of the vehicle, while the multi-level spring design is maintained in the rear for heavy-duty capability.

Front and rear shocks and springs are tuned for optimum ride quality and capability.

Standard exhaust brakes (on diesel models) reduce

brake fade, prolong brake life, and provide confidence and safety when hauling heavy loads on downhill grades.

Large front (360 mm) and rear (358 mm) brakes with integrated Anti-lock Brake System increase brake life and braking stability.

Ram SLT, Outdoorsman, Power Wagon and Laramie and Laramie Longhorn models feature a standard integrated trailer brake control to provide better driver control in towing situations. Trailer brake control information is conveniently displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Information Centre, which is standard on all models.

Other tow-friendly features include trailer-tow mirrors with integrated turn signals, memory function and puddle lamps.

Bold exterior design

The 2012 Ram Heavy Duty pickups carve out a unique design with styling differentiated from the Ram light-duty lineup.

To accommodate cooling requirements of the 6.7-litre Cummins turbo diesel engine, the grille opening is larger than the light-duty grille. The larger grille incorporates a taller hood that includes louvres on each side. Access to the front winch and tow hooks led to a unique frontbumper design.

The grille includes a chromed surround with either black centre billets or chromed centre billets. The grille is body-mounted, while the bumper is frame-mounted.

Front fenders and headlamps of the 2500 and 3500 are shared with light-duty pickup models. External mirrors are sculpted to produce a more usable area for better visibility, with aerodynamic benefit and less noise.

Front and rear doors follow the style pioneered by the Ram 1500 – a design that places the door cut to the side of the truck, rather than onto the roof, in order to reduce wind noise and weight.

Mike Cuthbert Camrose Chrysler

The tailgate is sculpted for air flow, incorporating a spoiler in the upper part of the sheet metal. The tailgate also accommodates an available back-up camera for convenient trailer hook-ups and includes a lift-assist feature that makes raising and lowering a one-hand operation. Standard bed-rail protection is included with both the six-foot four-inch and eight-foot cargo boxes.

Interior appointments include soft-feel door bolsters and armrests, and one-piece moulded door panels for premium comfort. Seats are redesigned with improved power lumbar and lateral support, which creates a comfortable cabin on even the longest work days. Six-ring instrumentation keeps track of vehicle functions, while many controls are arrayed in the centre stack, for easy access to buttons and knobs.

Other available features include two-tone upholstery with full-width contrasting stitching on the instrument panel, premium seating with heat and ventilation, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, automatic temperature control, memory seats, radio and mirrors, navigation, adjustable pedals, and numerous infotainment options, including Uconnect Multimedia with a 30-gigabyte hard drive and an available first-in-segment 10-speaker surround-sound system.

Seniors are too often victimized by telemarketing fraud. Studies have shown that many elderly fraud victims simply don't suspect the person soliciting money on the phone could be a criminal.

There are as many as 14,000 illegal telemarketing operations going on at any given time. These illegal operations generate as much as $40 billion a year. Relatives of seniors are understandably concerned, particularly if those seniors live alone and no one is around to monitor how many calls they're receiving from telemarketers. Concerned relatives can share the following information with seniors to reduce their loved ones' risks of being victimized by telemarketing fraud. * Legitimate marketers are not in a rush to sell products or secure donations. A legitimate marketer or charity will not try to pressure prospective buyers into making a purchase over the phone or prospective donors into making immediate contributions.

Explain to seniors that a legitimate marketer will accept a person's desire for written information about the products or charity and will gladly send such information to a prospective buyer or donor's home. * Payments are typically not picked up by a courier service. Telemarketing fraudsters often employ couriers to pick up payments. This is not the action of a reputable charity or business, and seniors should never agree to buy a product or donate money to any telemarketer who offers to send a courier to their home to pick up payment. * Sweepstakes cannot legally require payment to win a prize. It is not legal for contests or sweepstakes to require "winners" pay a fee before they can enter a contest or claim a prize.

Seniors should be made aware that this is the law and that any contest or sweepstakes demanding payment is bogus. * Be especially wary of companies offering to recover money paid to fraudulent telemarketers in the past. Companies offering to recover past money lost to fraud are often fraudulent themselves. These companies will offer their fraudulent services for a fee. * Money lost to a fraudulent telemarketer is likely lost forever. Men and women concerned about elderly friends or relatives being victimized by telemarketing fraud should explain to their loved ones that money lost in a telemarketing scam is not likely to be recovered. This should help highlight the importance of receiving official documentation from any telemarketers before buying a product or making a donation.

Meals on Wheels delivers to shut-ins

By Murray Green

The Meals on Wheels and Homemakers program provides a hot lunch during the noon hour to seniors or shut-ins seven days a week.

Farm Credit Canada in Camrose donated $500 to the program to help with the costs.

"A lot of the money we receive goes to purchasing supplies and trays," said board member Matilda Fleck. "We also buy disposable liners for the food in the trays.

The trays have to be replaced as well. We are a non-profit society, so we depend on donations. We don't have a lot of board members, so it is hard to do a lot of fund raising."

The Rosehaven Care Centre kitchen prepares the meals and they are sent out to between 20 and 25 people daily. "The meals are delivered every day, 365 days a year. Drivers volunteer to deliver the meals. Camrose and District Support Services purchases the meals from Rosehaven and the people that receive the meals pay for them through CDSS." People who receive the

meals are thankful for the service. "Often, it brings smiles to their faces and sometimes it's the only people they see coming to their doors on a daily basis. Some don't have anybody else that visits them," said Matilda. "Having a good home-cooked meal means a lot to some of these people."

Providing the service all year takes a lot of planning and many volunteers. "It started in the '70s and at that time they used coolers to deliver. It is a well balanced meal with a soup or salad," said Matilda. "We can honour special diets or diabetic meals, but those requests are handled at CDSS." Farm Credit Canada recently donated $500 to the program.

"At FCC we focus on giving back to the communities we call home.

We are honoured to do this and to show our appreciation. We encourage staff and others to volunteer as drivers for Meals on Wheels," said Linda Forre, FCC customer service representative.

For more information on Meals on Wheels or to volunteer contact CDSS at 780-672-0141.

Things that mar a paint job Most people purchase a car for its looks and performance.

However, unless the auto is kept in a garage and never driven, it is impossible to keep it in pristine condition. In many cases, damage to the clear coat or enamel paint on the car is something vehicle owners expect.

A car owner who decides he or she wants the car to remain in the best shape possible will have to take an active role in maintenence and damage prevention. One of the key things to remember is to never allow any substance to remain on the paint for too long; otherwise the risk for damage increases. Also, it may be very difficult to clean if the offender is allowed to sit on the paint. Here are some other factors to consider. * UV light: Just as UV light can affect skin, hair and other parts of the body, it also can affect the paint on a car. UV rays oxidize the paint and cause a white, powdery film to form on the car. Washing the car frequently enough and applying the best quality wax will help keep UV rays from penetrating through the paint. * Over sprays: Life does not stop to allow cars to drive through, particularly when it comes to construction zones. It's possible for a car to be doused in paint spray, tar, concrete, and other chemicals that are routinely used in construction. Do not allow these substances to harden on the car. Rinse promptly with automotive soap. Try to avoid construction zones whenever possible. * Rain: Both acid rain and regular rainwater (and other sources of water) can dissolve paint over time. The U.S. Geological Survey has said that water is a universal solvent because it can dissolve more substances than any other liquid. Whenever the car becomes wet, it should be dried with a towel or chamois and not allowed to air dry. * Natural substances: Tree sap, bird droppings and splattered insects contain compounds that can erode the paint on a car.

Avoid parking under large trees where sap and bird droppings may be prevalent. In terms of bug splatter, try to wash it off as soon as possible to alleviate damage. * Eggs: Oftentimes, rambunctious children think it is funny to egg a car. However, the enzymes and sulfur content in eggs can cause paint and clear coat to dissolve, leaving white spots in the wake of the egg.

Because egg can be sticky and very hard to remove once dried, it is helpful to wash it off as soon as possible. It takes only a few hours for the damage to be permanent. * Bleach: Although a bleachand-water solution is often heralded for its ability to clean many things, it should not be used on a car. Bleach is an oxidizer and it will pit metal and discolor paint.

Be careful with pool chemicals as well, as chlorinator is usually regular household bleach.

Keep your vehicle looking beautiful through the years Winter and our slippery roads cause hundreds of cars to end up in the ditch or to have other minor accidents during the cold weather.

After these mishaps, many car owners choose not to have their car bodies repaired for fear of increasing their insurance premium. This can be a big mistake! Rust can appear very quickly in the dented area, entailing the loss of much

more than just the amount of an eventual increase in the insurance premium.

Drivers whose cars are no longer new but are still in good running order tend to commit another common error: they fail to repair bodywork showing signs of rust near doors, around wheels, on the hood, etc. Not wanting the expense of going

to an auto body repair shop, the rust patches become too numerous and much too visible so owners eventually sell their cars even though they would have been roadworthy for years to come.

These two examples are among many other situations which should motivate you to consult a specialist in auto body

repairs. Using different techniques, depending on the state of your car’s bodywork, this professional will make the dented metal or ugly rust patches disappear, restoring your car’s appearance to its original beauty and at the same time increasing its resale value.

Rustproofing Some people think that spring is not really a good time for rustproofing a vehicle. Unfortunately, they are sorely mistaken. This is one of the best times of year because specialized auto workshops aren't as busy as they are in the fall.

Before you run out and rustproof your vehicle, however, keep in mind that some car manufacturers advise against this type of treatment if the vehicle is less than three years old. But in some parts of the country, winter is so severe that not rustproofing before this timeframe can leave your vehicle vulnerable to rust and corrosion.

Most people tend to get their rustproofing done during the fall. If you don't mind the long waiting lines, there's nothing wrong with getting this treatment done at this time of year.

On the other hand, if you do it in the spring or early summer, the warmer temperatures will help the product seep into all those tiny nooks and crannies, resulting in much better protection.

As long as we dare to park in parking lots, a car’s bodywork can never be fully protected from damage. Fortunately, paintless dent removal techniques can get your car looking just like it did when it came off the factory floor.

Paintless dent removal is a technique that originated in the United States more than forty years ago. The procedure was developed by people who know cars: dents and dings were first repaired this way in Detroit, the Motor City.

Paintless dent removal has the advantage of limiting the amount of time a car is in the shop while avoiding all forms of filler and paint. In the blink of an eye, your car’s bodywork can be returned to its original condition: no more car door or shopping cart scrapes, key scratches, or pebble gouges.

If your car has been victim

to hailstones, you’ll be glad to know that these bodywork specialists are proficient in hiding those dents too.

Technicians repair dents by using specialized tools to push the sheet metal back into its original shape from behind the dent. Pressure may have to be exerted up to 300 times for a golf ball sized dent. This technique requires expertise and skill, not to mention specifically designed tools. After all, the main objective is to ensure that the paintwork is not broken or cracked as a result of the work.

Paintless dent repair has several advantages. As well as preserving the original paintwork and being 100 percent environmentally friendly, the repair process is quick. A dent on a car door may only take fifteen to thirty minutes to repair, or about an hour and a half for a larger dent.

Ask for recommendations When your vehicle develops a specific problem, it is not always easy to find the right person to fix it. This can be aggravating, especially if it’s a transmission problem, faulty suspension, or a misaligned car. So, where should you go to get it fixed?

The first thing to do is to talk about your problem with your own personal mechanic.

He or she will be the best person to direct you to the best shop they know. If you want to deal with the matter yourself, the best thing to do is to ask your friends for recommendations. If the results do not please you, you might want to consult your local paper to find some shops to talk to. Good

business owners do advertise in such publications because they want to serve their own communities first. Chances are you will make friends with such people and get great service.

Similarly, a Yellow Pages type of phone directory will also be useful. The Internet is another great way to find a garage that will suit you. The good part about the Internet is that businesses have more space to advertise their unique services and other details, which is an advantage when it comes time to talk price.

So go ahead and call around, and don’t forget to consider the dealership among all the choices!

THE AUTOBODY EXPERTS

39

Autobody repair could be inexpensive solution

Choose an established body repairer who has the appropriate professional training.

Most drivers are pretty upset when they spot dents or dings on their vehicles. Trying to maintain bodywork in mint condition can entail large amounts of money. Fortunately, paintless body repair is one of the most inexpensive solutions for restoring your bodywork to its original appearance.

The reality is that your vehicle can never be fully protected from the scrapes and scratches acquired in “hostile” environments such as grocery store parking lots, shopping mall lots, and office parking garages. But thanks to their expertise and unequalled skill, auto body repairers can quickly erase all signs of the dents and dings that may be spoiling the look of your vehicle.

When looking for a reputable body shop, choose a repairer who has the appropriate professional training.

With the help of special tools, this specialist will return your car’s bodywork to its original appearance by exerting slight pressure on the back of the metal where the dent is situated. The damaged area is slowly massaged back to its original shape, a millimetre at a time.

Paintless dent removal has been around for almost forty years, but the technique is continually developing thanks to advances in paint formulas and in car body materials. The sheet metal used in today’s cars is much thinner and allows for greater elasticity.

Car owners should realize that this type of body repair is only possible if the paintwork has not been damaged by the shock or if the metal has not been crumpled or stretched.

In those cases, you will have to resort to the traditional method of repairing bodywork.

Take all options into consideration when you are about to choose an autobody repair shop Car body repair shops are not what they used to be. In the past, just about anybody and his neighbour thought they could hammer out a bumper, and body shops opened and closed about as fast as cars could crash. That’s not the case anymore. Today’s body shop is a sophisticated operation where skilled craftspeople practice their trade.

The cars and trucks on the market today require expert attention when their bodywork gets damaged. Collision repair is not guesswork, particularly because of the special materials and design used in car manufacturing.

Manufacturers even publish guide books and CDs to help body repair shops fix damaged vehicles brought in by customers.

If your car is involved in

a collision, be sure to choose your body shop carefully.

Observe the business, talk to the body repair serviceperson, and get a quote. You might also choose to bring your car to the body shop recommended by your insurer.

A modern collision repair shop will be stocked with precision tools to straighten body parts or the chassis.

If you were thinking about having your vintage beater repainted to its original shining glory, you might be surprised to learn that today’s environmental requirements make it almost impossible for amateur shops to reproduce certain vintage paints and techniques. A truly professional body shop will be able to suggest some suitable alternatives, though, all while respecting environmental laws.

Auto Shoppe 2nd year apprentice Dane Cockcroft makes sure Celebrity Apprentice Jackie Rae has a pair of welding gloves before sparking the torch.

Now Jackie Rae is playing with fire CFCW’s Jackie Rae (J.R.) is in her second year as the Auto Shoppe’s celebrity apprentice. Until now, the Auto Shoppe crew has been able to keep her away from the welding torches. But, every apprentice has to learn, so J.R. teamed with Dane Cockcroft for some much-needed advice. She was given a helmet, gloves and a few pointers. Dane, a skilled bodyman who came to the Auto Shoppe through the high school registered apprenticeship program (RAP), stood by cautiously as J.R. sparked the torch, flipped down the helmet and, with an unsteady hand, started her first tentative weld. “Good job, J.R.,” said Dane a few seconds later. He then proceeded to display a deft talent, quickly and efficiently, as he expertly finished the job.

If you’re looking for expert autobody collision repair, the Auto Shoppe team is ready to work for you.

Just tell them J.R. sent you!

Autobody pro is your vehicle's friend Consider them plastic surgeons for your vehicle. After an accident, who smoothes out the metal, replaces all the damaged plastic and metal trim, and returns your vehicle to its original beauty? An auto body worker, of course!

Auto body workers are both technicians and artists who

know all about your vehicle's dirty little secrets. Thankfully, their lips are sealed! They are also experts when it comes to knowing the physical features of various makes – the design of the fenders, hood and rear end.

They know about the materials used in various vehicles and how to effectively manipulate

them. When needed, they can also combine metals with plastic and fiberglass.

Auto body workers are rabid perfectionists who favour results over the rapidity of their work.

And after your car has been in an accident, your local auto body worker is your vehicle's best friend!

Get started with your writing at the library workshop

By Dan Jensen

Having trouble getting started with writing your family history, autobiography or memoir?

The Association for Life-wide Living (ALL) of Alberta wants to help.

ALL will be presenting a workshop entitled A Dose of Writing at Camrose Public Library from 9:30 to 12:30 and 1:30 to 4:30 this Saturday, Mar. 17. Led by published Alberta author Diane Buchanan, it is open to both new and established writers who want to take that next

step in bringing mind and experience to the open page.

"Class members will be asked to stretch themselves through gentle writing exercises during which the signs and symptoms of writing will be discussed," states an ALL promotional. "Our facilitator, Diane Buchanan, promisers to make it sweet and easy to follow."

A mother of four daughters, Buchanan began to write after retiring from nursing and returning to university at the age of fifty.

She has since published three collections of poetry and established

herself in a unique niche based on her first-hand contacts with people who have brushed with the law and the courts. Her personal essays have been published in anthologies, The Edmonton Journal and The Globe and Mail. She has been the featured reader during Edmonton's Poetry Festival, the John Howard Society annual general meeting, The Canadian Association of Provincial Court Judges, and, recently, at the Canadian Association of Drug Court Professionals conference in Toronto. Her first book of poetry, Ask Her Anything, was pub-

lished in 2001, and her second book, Between the Silences (2005) was short-listed for the Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry.

Her latest work, Unruly Angels, was published by Frontenac House in 2011.

A Dose of Writing will be limited to 12 participants, so early registrations are encouraged. Members of ALL and the Alberta Writers' Guild will receive a $25 discount on the registration fee.

More information on the workshop may be obtained by calling 780-672-9315.

ALL will also be presenting Creating Pathways for Understanding Dementia with Susan Spyker, from Alberta Health Services, and Colleen McGinnis, a multimedia artist from Caelin Galleries, Wetaskiwin, at Wetaskiwin Public Library Mar. 27.

"Based on their professional and personal experiences, Susan and Colleen combine creative and clinical approaches to help us understand and work more humanely with those who are affected," states ALL. "There will be ample time for discussion and learning."

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

For Want Ad service, please phone 780-672-3142 before six on Friday Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results!

Be Thorough Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.

Steer Clear of Abbreviations Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details.

Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.

Be Honest Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers.

Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.

Be Accessible Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers.

Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.

Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

Dog show at CRE March 23, 24 and 25

By Dan Jensen

It's going to be a dog's world!

Close to 600 dogs and their owners or trainers will be competing for top honours in the Battle River Canine Association's annual spring conformation, obedience and obedience rally show at the Camrose Regional Exhibition March 23, 24 and 25.

"We're going to have dogs from all the breeds," said Battle River Canine Association president Travis Rott.

"We'll be getting dogs from all over North America."

Dogs in the show's conformation class will be judged based on a set of standards developed for their specific breed.

Dogs in the obedience class will be specific tasks which they must complete within a set of guidelines.

"It is a very traditional style of dog obedience," said Rott.

"There are different levels ranging from beginner to what we call utility, which is the advanced level."

In rally obedience, judges set out specific stations where the dogs are asked to do certain tasks.

The conformation class will have most of the show's entries.

"It has a business side attached to it," said Rott. "The merits and awards that the dogs and their owners accumulate at the show go towards their breeding stock. The award then says to others who are looking at buying a dog that they have the best of what fits the breed."

The number of owners who attend the show normally ranges from between 250 to 300.

"It's not always the owners who attend," said Rott. "Sometimes it is professional dog han-

Dogs and their owners will be out in force at the CRE March 23, 24 and 25.

dlers that take the dogs to the shows on behalf of the owners."

The spring conformation, obedience and rally obedience show has proven to be very popular with spectators over the years.

"People who are not in the dog world find the obedience and rally obedience to be quite exciting," said Rott. "The conformation is fun as well but it doesn't have the same kind of staying power as the obedience. There aren't many that will want to sit and watch it all day."

Best in show judging usually takes place towards the end of each day.

"There are seven groups of dogs and the best in each group competes against the best in the other groups to see which one best represents the standard," said Rott.

"From that the judges pick one dog that is the best dog in the show."

The dogs will not be required to go through obstacle courses as is the case in some other dog shows.

"We don't currently run agility because of the time of year," said Rott. "It generally takes a fair bit of space to set up those obstacles and tricks and because the weather in March is not very good we can't go outside."

The Battle River Canine Association charges a small admission for the show that is turned over to a local charity or organization. Past recipients have included Camrose and District Centennial Museum and Camrose and District 4-H. "The 4-H groups come out and help and we give them a donation," said Rott.

The Battle River Canine Association was founded in 1990 by two current members – Norma Jeanne Pohl and Elaine Nilson. The club began by offering

obedience classes, then hosted three obedience sanction matches, which were required by the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) in order to hold official CKC obedience trials. The trials were such a success that the club decided to expand further and enter the world of conformation.

"The BRCA initially offered only one conformation and obedience show per year," states the BRCA website, "but after receiving great response from our exhibitors we took the initiative to expand our horizons even more and started offering two three-day Canadian Kennel Club conformation and obedience shows per year."

While the Battle River Canine Association calls Camrose home, it does not limit its membership to the Camrose area.

"We are always looking for new members," said Rott.

Some Like it Hot: a big band chili experience Whether it's the music or the chili, there should be something to suit every taste at Some Like It Hot! – A Big Band Chili Experience at Camrose Composite High School on Saturday, March 25.

The event is the annual chili supper and jazz night, sponsored by the CCHS music department and Music Parent Association.

It begins at 5 p.m. in the CCHS Commons area.

The evening starts with a smorgasbord supper featuring different types of chili, buns, beverages and a variety of salads and desserts. As this is an environmentally-conscious night, patrons are encouraged to bring their own dishes and cutlery.

Dinner music follows, with entertainment provided by the CCHS Jazz Ensemble, the CCHS Jazz Combo, Chorazz! (a vocal jazz group), and special guest Brian Dumont, a former CCHS music student and a popular vocalist who has been entertaining audiences in the Camrose area for many years.

Some Like It Hot was first conceived as a project to feature the jazz component of the Camrose Composite High School music program. Due to its popularity with both students and patrons, it has continued to be an annual event since 1990. Funds raised are used to provide additional support for activities of the music program. Tickets are available from any CCHS music student, the CCHS office, and, in limited numbers at the door.

Preschoolers are admitted free.

Anglers face 72 counts

By Murray Green

Alberta Fish and Wildlife officers broke an illegal fish-trafficking ring after three and a half years of research.

Officers rounded up 27 individuals from Camrose, Pigeon Lake, Wetaskiwin, Rimbey and Edmonton and charged them with 72 counts under the Fisheries (Alberta) Act. Charges include the unlawful sale and purchase of walleye and whitefish. Fish and Wildlife enforcement launched the lengthy investigation in 2008 after officers in Wetaskiwin received confidential information about illegal buying and selling of fish in the Pigeon Lake area.

The individuals accused are not associated with the legal commercial fishing industry. The charges allege the accused formed an underground network of illegal buyers and sellers to avoid detection by authorities. This type of illegal activity poses a serious threat to Alberta’s fish populations and harms the legitimate commercial fishing industry. Anyone with information that would assist in solving any fish or wildlife crime in Alberta is asked to contact a local Alberta government Fish and Wildlife Enforcement office or call the toll-free Report A Poacher line at 1-800642-3800. The line is open 24 hours. Anyone who provides information can remain anonymous and could qualify for a reward.

BRSD board wants to hear from The Village of New Norway is seeking an enthusiastic and qualified parents and VILLAGE FOREMAN students Reporting to the Chief Administrative Officer, the Foreman Each year, Battle River School Division seeks input from the people most affected by the decisions made about the future of education – students, parents and school staff – in order to make appropriate plans for the years ahead.

BRSD’s annual satisfaction survey is now posted on the school division website and school division officials are hoping that many students, parents and staff will take the opportunity to share their comments.

“We truly want to hear people’s thoughts on how we’re doing,” says assistant superintendent, instruction Rick Jarrett.

“The feedback and comments that people make are a big help in letting us know what changes we should be making in order to provide quality educational services to children.”

Mr. Jarrett also stresses that the more people who complete surveys, the better.

“We need to hear from lots of people in order for the information to be useful. If only a handful of families respond, in a school division with 6,300 students, we’re not getting a good picture of what’s important to people.”

The surveys are currently available on the Battle River School Division website at www. brsd.ab.ca Families who do not have internet access at home can arrange to complete the survey at their local school. The survey closes on April 2.
