There isn’t a golf enthusiast in the area who hasn’t been riding the weather roller coaster the last couple of weeks. Melting snow and temperatures which suggest

a hint of spring brings on a temporary state of mild euphoria for those who love the game. This emotion is quickly doused, however, when Mother Nature tees up and delivers a cold north wind, often with driving snow, directly down the fairway. The adverse spring weather isn’t the only set-back for an early start to the season at Camrose Golf Course. A waterline break in recent weeks resulted in significant damage in the Pro Shop. A major renovation is currently underway. Membership sales previously scheduled to take place April 2 – 7 in the Pro Shop will be relocated to the restaurant area of the building.

"These initiatives will be useful in our riding. We

Tender for City Hall project has been awarded

Council approves City Hall budget

All tenders were close to each other says report By Dan Jensen

City council has accepted a tender of $13,447,740

plus GST from Bird Management Ltd. for the construction of the new City Hall facility and the demolition of the existing one. The invitation to tender was issued on Feb. 8 and was posted on websites for the Alberta Purchasing Connection, the Edmonton Construction Association and the Calgary Construction Association. The invitation also included a mandatory site visit and facility walkthrough for contractors, which was conducted Feb. 20. The bids were reviewed March 11 by a panel consisting of City manager Damian Herle, acting general manager of engineering services Jeremy Enarson, project manager Jocelyn Kiew and two representatives from the architects â€“ Mike Turner and Vivian Manasc with Manasc Isaac. Bids were weighted according to price, relevant experience on similar projects, use of qualified subcontractors, key personnel on the project team and the construction/phasing schedule. "Bird Management Ltd. received 439 points and their bid has been verified by myself to be compliant to all the conditions as noted in the tender documents," said Kiew. The prices for all tenders were within $1,565,000 of each other. "When you have bids that are that close to each other you know you have a good bid package," said Kiew. Bird Management Ltd. has indicated to the City that it is likely to subcontract some of the work to a few local businesses. Council also accepted a tender of $245,198 plus GST from Read Contracting Ltd. for the interior renovations to the Mirror Lake Centre. The renovations will accommodate the relocation of existing City Hall staff in advance of the planned construction of the new city hall facility and demolition of the existing one.

An artist's rendering of the new City Hall that has been approved by council. By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council has approved the use of $17.25 million in Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) and $1 million in reserve funds for the construction of the new city hall. Council was forced to reconsider its previous funding model March 18 after a detailed report from City administration on the project's total costs. "Based on known costs and current estimates the anticipated total cost for all work related to the construction of a new City Hall facility is $18,250,000," said the report. Administration had pointed out at a meeting in November that a cost of $16 million for the city hall was reasonable for a pre-tender estimate but that the variability of tender submissions could be in the range of plus or minus 20 per cent, resulting in total project costs coming in at between $12.8 and $19.2 million. The new funding plan calls for the City to use $5 million in MSI funds in 2013, $10 million in 2014 and $2.25 million in 2015. The amount of MSI funding originally budgeted for the project was $15 million. City manager Damian Herle told council the first step for administration is to present a revised MSI funding plan to the province. "As an already approved project within the MSI program the City Hall project would be eligible for additional MSI funding to finance the remaining anticipated costs." The provincial government has assured the City that MSI funding will continue in the future at the same levels it is now. Mayor Marshall Chalmers expressed confidence the City will be able to get the additional provincial dollars needed to proceed. "There are many projects underway in the province that

are using MSI funds so I don't think that will be a problem. Councillor Greg Wood said he would like to have written confirmation from the province that the future MSI funding will be available no matter what. "The (additional MSI) money we are talking about is money that would be due us in three years." Wood also expressed concern over what he felt was an attempt by council to push the project through without the necessary discussions on whether or not the city hall project is the correct use of additional MSI funds. City councillor Max Lindstrand told council the time has come for council to stop talking about the City Hall and let the work get started. "It is clear that we need a new City Hall and we are not going to get a better price." "The province is continuing to be a funding source so that we will not have to incur any additional indebtedness." Councillor Howard said the key for council is determining how much risk it is willing to take. "Minister (Doug) Griffiths (Minister of Municipal Affairs) has indicated that the original commitment to MSI will be honoured but that it may not be honoured in the original time frame." Councillor Gerry Galenza questioned whether the current council is tying the hands of future councils by committing MSI funds that have not yet been received. "Using all the MSI funds doesn't leave much leeway for future councils to address future projects other than debentures," he said. Councillor Lindstrand said he would rather council use the money that is pledged

through the MSI program than go into debt and have to pay interest. "In my personal life if I have cash for something I don't take out a loan." Lindstrand expressed confidence in the City's ability with its current debt situation to take on a future debenture if that was needed. "The City of Camrose has reduced its indebtedness by $10 million in the years I have been on council. We are reducing our debt at a rate of $2 million a year." City financial services general manager Diane Urkow told council that a 20-year debenture of $2 million for the city hall would result in annual payments of $135,000 charged to the tax levy. She further explained the City's debenture debt will start to drop off significantly by the year 2016-17, leaving council with another $180,000 annually to spend on other projects. Costs included in the city hall's $18.25 million price tag include renovations to the Mirror Lake Centre for the relocation of staff, demolition and construction of a new city hall facility, hard surfaced parking and lane paving, permit fees, and design and construction management fees. Council was given assurances by administration that the city hall project complies with the land use bylaw in terms of building setbacks and building height, and conforms with the City's Downtown Action Plan. According to the City's planning officer, four-storey buildings only need additional setbacks if they are located in residential areas. Administration also noted that while the final design of the facility will not be LEED certified, it has incorporated many practices which will allow it to be operated in a sustainable man-

ner over the life expectancy of the building. The city hall development will supply a total of 99 off-street parking stalls, in addition to approximately 20 on-street parking stalls on 50 Avenue, 52 Street and 52A Street. City manager Damian Herle told council that the City has had ongoing discussions with the province of Alberta regarding the possible sale of the three parcels which are located immediately south of the existing City Hall building. "Administration is confident that the sale of these parcels to the City can be finalized in short order," said Herle. "An acquisition of these parcels by the City in 2013 will allow the parking lot upgrades to be undertaken following the completion of the city hall facility. The city hall design team provided assurances that the weeping tile and sump systems for the new city hall are designed to accommodate flows in excess of the calculated groundwater flow rate. Issues that led to a demonstrated need for the new city hall include the current age and condition of the existing facility and an insufficient amount of space in the current building, caused partly by the closure of the lower part due to mould. The Camrose Senior Centre Society has advised it is supportive of the City's plans to move staff to the Mirror Lake Centre while the new city hall is being built, provided it has continued access to the auditorium. "They don't believe the office structure will be to their benefit when the City moves out so we will do our best to encourage a two-year time frame on construction and will not be putting up any permanent walls," said Herle.

Council supports Main Street Program application By Dan Jensen

City council has given its support to a City Center Camrose application to Alberta Historical Resources Foundation's revised Main Street Program for residual funding. City manager Damian Herle told council March 18 that CCC is hoping to access half of the approximately $121,864 that is available this year and to further carry on with expansion of the 2013 projects in 2014. "In the year 2014 application would be made for the remainder

of the residual funds to support the projects," said Herle. City Center Camrose is proposing to use the funds to render some of the buildings on main street to show the property owner how the front of his or her building would look with a variety of paint jobs, put up new banners that support and unify the CCC area, design brackets for blade signs as well as brackets for banner poles, and establish a reimbursement program to subsidize businesses for the purchase of brackets for blade signs. "We are excited about the

possibility of keeping City Center vital and aesthetically pleasing, which we know contributes to the betterment of the whole of Camrose as well as positive experiences of visitors and future businesses and Camrosians," said CCC president Audrey Pfannmuller. The City of Camrose and CCC were members of the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation's Main Street program from 2000 to 2008. "In 2007 and 2008 funds were provided by the Alberta Historic Resources Foundation to

the City of Camrose for projects that did not materialize," said Herle. "The City is the steward of the funding." The rules of the revised Alberta Historical Resources Foundation Main Street Program require City Center Camrose or the City of Camrose to hire a program coordinator. "The administration is recommending that the coordinator be employed by City Center Camrose," said Herle. "It appears that salary subsidization of the coordinator's position is required."

Greg Wood has resigned his position as City councillor. Meeting with The Camrose Booster March 21, Wood said he is "unwilling to sit and watch what I perceive to be an indifference towards the City's financial well-being by administration and council." Wood's frustrations came to a head at a March 18 meeting in which council passed a motion to approve the construction of the new City Hall with provincial funding – some of it to come in the future. Council later in the meeting received a report from administration expressing concern over the negative impact on the City of recent provincial funding cuts. "For no one to connect the dots between those two to me was concerning," said Wood. "On the one hand we are spending provincial money that isn't certain and in the next breath we are expressing concern over the fact the province is now cutting funds." Wood said the recommendation by administration and approval by council of the City Hall project is the equivalent of launching a rocket with a preflight check and weather report that is six months old. "Will it fly? Probably, but that's an awful risk to take with 17,000 passengers on board. In good conscience I felt I could no longer be a part of that type of decision making." Wood feels the recent actions go against all the good work council has done over the last two and a half years to get a handle on the financial situation. "One of my goals coming onto council was to see what was going on," said Wood, a chartered accountant with Harberg Nikiforuk Wood LLP. "We worked hard to set guidelines for reserves and see how the land fund truly operated. Those were all in the past not adequately understood by council." Wood said the issue for him was not whether City Hall was good or bad, but how quickly council went from finding out how much the project would cost to voting to approve it. "The problem is that not everybody shed an opinion on how good or bad it was to use an extra $2.2 million in MSI funding, or whether there was a better way to fund it. It was, 'oh let's get it done.' Council had never had any, or has never to date received details on the tenders or a proper analysis of how that worked. The whole idea when we went to meetings every other week again was that nothing would ever hit council that hadn't hit committee (of the whole) two weeks before. With the idea that ok, we could get that information digested and then two weeks later approve it. This just went bang bang bang." Wood said it has been a struggle over the last two and a half years to balance his professional career with his responsibilities as a City councillor.

Province gathers input on new energy regulator By Murray Green

PEN .I am a more empathic person POINTS by Berdie Fowler

New study finds oilsands development pollutes lakes Dr. David Schindler, professor of ecology at the University of Alberta, and his team of researchers caused quite a stir in 2010 when their study concluded that “oilsands development is contaminating the Athabasca River watershed by both airborne and waterborne pathways.” As part of the evidence, Schindler’s group produced a deformed fish that had been drawn from Lake Athabasca, downstream from oilsands activity. In response to this, both the Alberta and the federal governments appointed their own scientists to review Schindler’s findings. In January, 2013, the results of a joint study by scientists at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and Environment Canada were released. After studying core samples from five lakes near mining operations in Fort McMurray, and one lake as far away as ninety kilometres, this joint venture found that “the levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in all six lakes had increased from 2-1/2 times to 23 times the levels fifty years ago before oilsands development began in the region. PAHs are cancer-causing chemicals that are released when things are burned. We are told that “they can occur naturally, from forest fires, volcanic activity and geological deposits, but burning petroleum in the production of the oilsands leaves a particular fingerprint so the scientists were able to trace where the PAHs in the core samples came from.” Biologist John Smol from Queen’s University, one of the study’s authors, acknowledged that oilsands operators have, since 1990, reduced greenhouses gases and other contaminants by close to 40 per cent, “But,” he adds, “this report reminds us of the need for continuing cumulative monitoring to be sure we don’t get into situations where cumulative levels do get past acceptable levels.” Smol noted that the scientists involved in the study were surprised to find that the footprint of the oilsands operations had extended as far as 90 kilometres. The study warns that the chemical deposits will increase as oilsands production in northern Alberta is expected to triple in size in the next 25 years. In response, Peter Kent, federal environment minister, gave credit to oilsands developers for trying to reduce pollutants resulting from their operations, but added that the new federal-provincial monitoring system will play a big part in keeping an eye on contaminants coming from the oilsands. In conclusion, I note that the study recommends cumulative monitoring, and the federal-provincial alliance promises an alert monitoring system. We need to do more than watch; we need to actually take preventive measures to assure the protection of our life-sustaining waters. Let us be aware that the study warns of unknown long-term ecological effects of the PAHs, as increasing amounts of the chemicals occur in freshwater lakes and are absorbed by fish, birds and up the food chain to humans. We must protect life-sustaining water wherever it is – our survival depends on it.

Camrose and district residents gave their input to help build the rules and regulations for the new Alberta Energy Regulator at the Camrose Regional Exhibition on March 5. However, the group of about 25 attendees were made up mostly of invited people in the oil and gas business and only a third were local landowners, which may have skewed the feedback. “We committed to consulting with Albertans when we passed the Responsible Energy Development Act in the fall, and we’re following through on that promise,” said energy minister Ken Hughes. “Involvement from Albertans is essential – we need Albertans’ input to ensure this regulator is effective and efficient for landowners, for Albertans and for industry.” Landowners, outnumbered about three to one, learned that they may receive more notice of work that is to be done on their land, but do not have any options if they disagree with the notification arrangements. In fact, landowners who don't comply could face penalties of $50,000 to $150,000 in fines. The regulator, which begins operations in June, marks a new phase of energy regulation for the province. Through the Responsible Energy Development Act (REDA) that was passed last December, the province claims it is protecting and improving participation rights for landowners, while ensuring industry has an effective, efficient and streamlined regulatory process. "If there was a commonality of the engagement process, it is that Albertans want clarity of process," said Wade Clark, executive director, of the Policy and Regulatory Alignment in the energy office. "We have heard this from industry, landowners and First Nations. They want to know what the target is and they will hit the target." The REDA was passed to create a single regulator for oil, gas, oil sands and coal projects in the province. Under the act, the new regulator will operate

at arm’s length from the Government of Alberta, under the direction of an appointed board of directors and chief executive officer. The legislation also gives the regulator the authority to administer the Public Lands Act, the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act and the Water Act, with regards to energy development. The only entity not under the regulator's umbrella is the Alberta Surface Rights Federation, which several people questioned in Camrose. Discussions at the CRE included pre-determined topics of engaging the process, protecting interests of Albertans and landowner registry. "Going forward, some of the ideas around dispute resolutions are welcome," said Wade. "How to avoid expensive disputes during the process, but still have concerns from the participants addressed. We are getting some good ideas from all of the locations on this," said Wade. "This will help us build a good tool box for this regulator to do a better job once they are implemented." Most residents just want more information. "People want to know what is coming, rather than being informed after the fact that something just happened on your land or in your community," added Wade. "We are hearing a lot about notice. People have felt in the past that they were disengaged in the process. Industry does plan ahead, and there is an opportunity to give a greater degree of notice when it is appropriate." In addition to the single regulator, the government is changing how it sets energy-related policy. The policy management office will be responsible for providing clear policy guidance to the new regulator. The office is also tasked with creating an effective process to engage Albertans in the policy-making process earlier, rather than after decisions are made. The office is also tasked with developing performance measures. The single regulator is one

part of the province’s commitment to improve integration of its resource system. This integration sets and achieves the environmental, economic and social outcomes Albertans expect from resource development, while maintaining the social licence to develop resources. A task force was established in March 2010 to do a comprehensive upstream oil and gas regulatory review and recommend system level reforms to ensure Alberta has a modern, efficient, outcomes-based and competitive regulatory system that continues to maintain Alberta’s strong commitment to environmental management, public safety, and resource conservation. Together, six recommendations will ensure Alberta has a regulatory system that benefits Alberta's and Canada's economy. Wade suggested that this would make Alberta's environmental process the "world's best." Those recommendations include establishing a policy management office; establishing a single oil, gas, oil sands and coal regulator; providing a clear public engagement process; establishing a common risk assessment and management approach; establishing a performance measurement framework and public reporting mechanism; and developing an effective mechanism to address landowner concerns. "It has been incredibly valuable to go into these communities because Alberta is a diverse place," said Wade. "There is a lot of wisdom and know-how out there. Sessions like this improve the product at the end of the day because we have all aspects of the community looking at the issue. Things that we might miss in Edmonton are coming out when we visit smaller communities." Albertans who are unable to take part in the facilitated sessions can provide their ideas online until March 29. The survey, session registration and other information can be found at http://www.energy.alberta.ca/ Initiatives/RegulatoryEnhancement.asp.

We truly appreciate the efforts, dedication and commitment of all the Camrose and Area Physicians to our commu-

nity.

Steele, Sideguys Continued from page 15

Duane opened for some of the hottest acts in country music including Shania Twain, Terri Clark, Trisha Yearwood, Sammy Kershaw, and Prairie Oyster. In 1997, Duane was the winner of the CCMA for Vocal Collaboration of the Year with Lisa Brokop for the single “Two Names On An Overpass.” In the spring of 1999 Duane returned to Canada to focus on his recording career. Duane's third solo album I’ll Be Alright was released in August 2000 with seven singles released to radio and three videos released to CMT (Country Music Television). He was rewarded for his first independently released album by winning the Independent Male Vocalist of the Year Award by the CCMA. Duane released Set List in 2004, which contained 17 radio singles from his three previous solo albums and three new songs that were released to radio. A video for the song “Better Man” was filmed in Calgary for CMT. Two years later Duane released Ghost Town, which he co-produced with recording artist, songwriter and producer Steve Fox. He is extremely proud of this 100 per cent Canadian album. This was his first time assisting with the production side of the recording process. Duane’s pure voice and natural stage presence makes his live shows a must see. Fans relate to his lyrics and song writing style. Then you can dance the night away with The Sideguys. The band name reflects that they are a group of four guys, who are usually members of a

band performing with a variety of country music recording artists, all over the world. Dylan Gillett, Matty McKay, Mark Branconnier (a four-time CCMA drummer of the year and original Doc Walker member), and Tyler Vollrath of Bawlf. Tyler is a CCMA fiddle player of the year. "Combined we have performed with artists such as Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Jason McCoy, Adam Gregory, Doc Walker, Gord Bamford, Dean Brody, Deric Ruttan and Jo Hikk, just to name a few," said Tyler. The dance band will be sure to please all ages with musical preferences covering classic and modern country, to top 40 dance and rock later in the night. "I'm really looking forward to introducing the community I've lived in for the past five years to some of my musician buddies who are extremely talented and great guys in general," shared Tyler. "Until now, most of the people out here only know me from helping at Rosalind School with my children, or playing men's slow pitch. I have not done a lot of performing in the area with the exception of the Big Valley Jamboree. I'm excited to be able to show them the musical side of me." The Rosalind Hall doors open at 6 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7 p.m. A dance will follow at 9 p.m. Advance ticket purchases are highly recommended, and they can be picked up at the Bawlf UFA, Bawlf General Store, Rosalind Post Office, Rosalind Viterra, and if not sold out, can also be purchased at the door.

Pet lovers showed lots of heart for local animals By Murray Green

Love was in the air on Valentine's Day. Local residents shared support for animals by participating in the Global Pet Foods annual Show Us Your Heart (Valentine’s theme) fund-raising campaign, which collected money for animal shelters, Feb. 2 to 16. Camrose, Global Pet Foods store owner Chris Zamora donated $2,749 to the Battle River Animal Protection Society. The society (BRAPS) is a non-profit organization operated solely by volunteers and funded by public donation. "From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank everyone who helped make this such a success," said Chris. "The Camrose store made the top 15 out of 158 stores nationally. The great thing about the Show Us Your Heart campaign is that all of the money stays in the community to help Camrose and area animals." BRAPS advocates for animals in the Battle River area by protecting them from neglect, abuse and abandonment. Global Pets in Camrose and Wetaskiwin has been supporting the society for the last six years. For more info on BRAPS visit www.braps.ca. This year the nation-wide company raised $170,000, up from $154,000 last year. The money raised pays for veterinar-

ian bills and to foster homes that take care of the animals until they can be adopted. BRAPS will be holding an adoption day at the store with six to eight cats or kittens, on April 20. The cats will be up for adoption from noon to 4 p.m. Currently, the society has about 30 cats that are looking for a good home. Contact BRAPS at braps@ hotmail.ca, phone 780-678-5713 or 780-679-5607 for more information.

Marcy goes out of her way to provide additional comfort to patients and has a smile so infectious and welcoming for each person that she encounters," said Sister Bernadine.

Police stopped and checked a motorist and determined the 18-year-old male driver had been consuming alcohol. The young male driver provided a reading into an Approved Screening Device which registered a reading contrary to his Graduated Driver Licence (GDL). As per the legislation, the young man was issued a 30-day driver's licence suspension and the vehicle he was operating was seized / impounded for seven days. While on patrol, police observed two males at the rear of a licensed premise. Police spoke with both males who were determined to be intoxicated in a public place and alleged to police they were assaulted by the other party. One of the males had an outstand-

Horbay garners silver, boys take home bronze at Indoor Games

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Charlie Killam School boys' relay team captured a bronze medal at the Edmonton Journal 35th Annual Indoor Games on March 17.

By Murray Green

Charlie Killam School athlete Braxtyn Horbay earned a silver medal in the girls' 800 metre race at the Edmonton Journal 35th Annual Indoor Games on March 16. Braxtyn first thought she would be receiving the bronze medal. But, even a photo finish couldn't solve the riddle of whether the Camrose runner placed second or third with a time of 2:26.75 in the finals behind a Leduc Junior High student. "I was really excited to receive a silver medal. Last year, I qualified first, but I couldn't go to the finals because of soccer provincials," explained Braxtyn. "I didn't expect to do as well as I did and shave off five seconds from my qualifying time in the finals. That was my goal, to be competitive. I was satisfied with the result." Braxtyn cross trains with soccer, volleyball, basketball, running and now badminton. "The cross training I had was good because

we didn't have a lot of time to train for the Indoor Games," said Braxtyn. "It was hard because I like to run outside, but not in the winter. That part was difficult." The athletes ran in the gym or around the EnCana Arena track to prepare for the Games. The Grade 9 student likes to be the front runner to set the pace of the race. "I like to start out in the first group and I was the leader for the first two laps. That is where I wanted to be," said Braxtyn. "Before the race, I had to calm myself down and just focus on doing the best that I can." Braxtyn knew the race was close, but wasn't expecting a photo finish at the end. "We went over the line at about the same time, so I didn't know where I finished. The marshals gave us a sheet indicating that I was third. When it came time for giving out the medals, I was told the photo couldn't determine who was second. The marshals were split, so they said we have to give out two

silver medals. That was a pretty good feeling to receive silver. I like silver better than bronze anyway." Moving to the high school next year won't slow down the active athlete. "I want to be involved in running and participate in as many sports as I can. The cross training for me helps in all sports. I don't want to give up any sports," said Braxtyn. "It's a cool feeling competing in a fun and intense environment like the Indoor Games. All of the best runners in the province were there, so it was intense." The Charlie Killam School boys' relay team earned a bronze in the eight by 200 metre event. The team had eight runners and two spares for the team event. Members of the bronze winning squad were Spencer Burton, Tim McKay, Bryn Ziegerman, Trevor Souminen, Taylor Connors, Tyler Young, Romar Turner, Romario Turner, Cody Milgate and Carter Rolston. Natalya Klutz placed sixth in

the girls' 200 m dash with a time of 28.56 seconds. Juanita Hohm came in 22nd in the girls' 800 m event in 2:50.52 minutes. The girls' relay team from Charlie Killam School placed fourth in 3:56.81 minutes. The team consisted of Sadie Borgfjord, Alison Erskine, Cassidy Pudlowski, Kady Isnor, Brooke Bauer, Sarena Badry, Megan Olsen, Natalya Klutz, Camryn Gau and Sydney Leslie. Romario Turner placed sixth and Romar Turner came in ninth in the boys' 200 m dash event with times of 25.40 and 26.01. Cody Milgate and Stewart Payne placed 17th and 19th in the 800 m event with 2:28.25 and 2:33.51 times. The athletes were coached by Jayson Boyson and Mark Chanasyk. "Our coaches pushed us to do our best and calmed me down before the last race. They gave us strategies and really helped us," said Braxtyn. "I wouldn't have won a silver without them."

? ? LOCAL EXPERTS ? ? YOUR ?? ? ?ANSWER ?Q ? UESTIONS ? ? ? Q. A:

What type of window coverings will create a soft elegant feeling in my home?

Roman shades combine the up-scale beauty of soft drapery with the convenient operation of a shade. We have an extensive selection of fabrics – from timeless to ultra-modern – to create an atmosphere of high-style sophistication that’s sure to impress. Choose flat panel style for a clean, traditional appearance or the teardrop or looped style to add bold depth and dimension. Roman shades are available with cordless lift option to help prevent injury in homes with children or pets, and our popular top down bottom up option is also available for clear view through and natural light while maintaining privacy. There are many different ways to enhance the look of your roman shade with our finishing touches available. Trimming and fringes create a more personalized appearance and adding a wood cornice or 6” fabric valance can complete the look you desire. Roman shade fabrics also coordinate perfectly with many other types of blinds like roller shades and sliding panels. This means easily flowing style throughout your home. To create the look of long lasting beauty and elegance, roman shades are the perfect style solution. See your local expert, Dion Currie at Wideman Paint and Décor about selecting and installing the window coverings that are right for you.

Q. A:

Why should I service my vehicle?

Service and maintenance is the most important thing you can do to prevent major breakdown and repair costs. Service is always cheaper than repair.

Can my local Jiffy Lube service my new vehicle and maintain the warranty?

Yes. At Jiffy Lube all products and services we offer are 100% warranty approved.

Do I need an appointment and how long will it take?

No, you will never need an appointment for any services we do here at Jiffy Lube. In most cases you will be in and out in 10 to 20 minutes. With service times being a little more for larger extra services required from time to time. For example: transmission or drivetrain services.

Can I increase the fuel mileage of my vehicle with some services?

Yes. At Jiffy Lube we offer many services to increase fuel mileage on most vehicles. Ranging from synthetic oil changes to fuel filters and fuel treatments, as well as engine flushes and proper tire pressures. In fact, we have a very in depth computer system that allows us to show you your manufacturer’s recommended services at specific mileages. We will show you our findings and samples and let you make the call on what you want to do and when.

I want to lose weight. What would you suggest?

We have two excellent lines of products that have been clinically proven to deliver safe and effective weight loss results. 1.) Our Slim Centials are extremely popular and you may have seen them endorsed on The Dr. Oz Show. These combine four of the best clinically proven weight loss nutrients. Benefits include a decrease in appetite, a decrease in fat absorption thus suppressing weight gain, helping the body burn fat more easily and blocking blood sugar conversion to body fat. 2.) ihealth has an excellent line of weight loss products also endorsed by Dr. Oz. White Kidney Bean extract is receiving much attention, thanks in large part to Dr. Oz who called it one of his favorite fat busters. Normally, when you eat carbs, your body digests it as sugar which goes straight into your bloodstream and gets deposited as fat. However iHelath White Kidney Bean Extract has been shown to prevent the stomach from breaking carbs down into simple sugars so their calories aren’t absorbed into your body. According to Dr. Oz, you should take White Kidney Bean Extract before meals containing a starch or carb. You could also eat pure white kidney beans, but you’ll have to eat a whole lot of them to match the same benefits as a single pill of the iHealth White Kidney Bean Extract. Safe and effective, both product lines offer a wide selection of recommended Dr. Oz weight loss products. Answer provided by:

Q. A:

How do I know which medical expenses I can claim? The CRA website has a list of eligible and non-eligible medical expenses. Commonly missed medical expenses include travel expenses in cases where it is required to travel more than 40km one way to receive necessary treatment or consultation. Premiums paid to private health plans are also deductible.

What is the most beneficial way to claim them?

There are two considerations to assess in order to maximize the value of the tax credit for medical expenses.

If you are married or have a common-law partner, either one of you can make the claim for medical expenses incurred for both you and your children. You should consider which taxpayer will have a lower income. You claim the total of all eligible medical expenses minus the lower of: 3% of net income or $2,109 (2012). A deductible based from a lower income will allow you to claim a higher credit. However, you also must consider how much tax the lower income earner has payable. If they have already reduced their taxes payable to zero, the claim will be lost if it is made on their return.

Q. A:

How many fittings do I need for my Wedding Dress?

Usually there will be three (3) to four (4) fittings required for Bridal alterations. Book your first fitting 3 months minimum before your wedding date.

Keep in mind the Spring Bridal season coincides with Graduation and your seamstress will be very busy. Allow plenty of time to allow all the required alterations to be finished in time for your special day. Be ready for your first fitting by having considered what undergarments (ie: strapless bra, Spanx) and shoes you require and bring them with you. The bridesmaids and mothers should also book alterations with the same timeline as the bride in mind.

What are some key mistakes small business owners make with their advertising programs and budgets?

Successful advertising is complex. Doing things right can be very rewarding for business. Making errors can not only be frustrating but will raise the cost of doing business. Having a defined budget and using tried and true formulas, is essential to a successful plan. Most small businesses will need to allocate between 1.5 and 3.5% of their gross revenues back into effective promotion and client retention. As trained professionals we can assist you in refining this number for your type of business. Donations and most sponsorship should not be automatically considered advertising. While it may be convenient from an accounting point of view to lump such “investments” in the advertising ledger column, these kinds of business expenses should not typically be considered as true advertising. In other words: there is a big difference between having a logo on the back of a soccer sweatshirt or buying a table-for-eight at a community dinner, compared to formulating a well-defined, purposeful print or electronic advertising message. Failing to spell out business strengths and competitive advantages in a consistent, long-term plan of attack is another frequent error. Most small business make the mistake of falling into the ‘once is enough’ mind-set. Another common mistake is failure to choose the correct advertising option to reach the potential market. With so many choices available today, you must choose carefully and prudently. To get better results with your advertising dollar count on our team for reliable advice:

Tax tips for families with children By Janice Zimmerman H&R Block Camrose Claim the kids. Families will continue to benefit from a $2,191 Child Tax Credit for each child under the age of 18. This will result in a federal tax saving of $328 per child. And if one parent cannot use the entire amount to lower his/her tax payable, the unused amount can be transferred to a spouse or common-law partner. Credit for being active. The Children’s Fitness Amount is a non-refundable credit worth up to $500 for children under the age of 16 enrolled in an eligible program of physical activity. Not every program meets the eligibility guidelines so you need to ensure you know the requirements. Make sure you keep your receipts. Disabled children will also qualify for the credit if they are under 18. Manitoba, Yukon,

Ontario, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan also have a provincial fitness credit. Artistic credit: The new Children’s Arts Credit is another non-refundable credit worth up to $500 for children under the age of 16 enrolled in an eligible program. This could include language classes, Girl Guides or Scouts, art classes or ballet lessons. Again, keep your receipts to make the claim. Universal Child Care Benefit: This is available to any family with children under the age of six regardless of the household income. Each child under six is eligible for the $100 per month benefit. UCCB is taxable in the hands of the lower-income spouse. Child Tax Benefit: Upon the birth of a child, parents should complete Form RC66, Canada Child Tax Benefit Application

and send it to the CRA. This form will register their child for the GST/HST Credit and Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) as well as the Child Tax Benefit. Use public transit: Taxpayers who use public transit can claim a non-refundable tax credit for their passes. This includes passes purchased for dependent children under the age of 19. The passes have to be for a period of at least one month or weekly passes purchased over a period of four consecutive weeks. Electronic payment cards also qualify. Save for future education: Designed to help save for a child’s post-secondary education, parents can make up to $50,000 RESP lifetime contribution. Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) per year is $500.

Oilers tame Kodiaks in semifinal action By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks outworked and outplayed the Okotoks Oilers in game four in an attempt to stave off elimination, but the visitors came out on top in the only number that mattered, the scoreboard. Okotoks won 2-1 to sweep the south semifinal series on March 19. The Oilers scored late in the second period to send the Kodiaks on their heels before the intermission. The Kodiaks clawed back to even terms with a Nelson Gadoury shorthanded tally at the 8:21 mark of the middle frame. However, less than a minute later the Oilers regained the lead on the power play. Amazingly, John Edwardh notched his fourth straight gamewinning goal of the series. Goalies can steal a game once in a while, and Okotoks netminder did just that in the final contest. Jared D'Amico stopped 31 of 32 shots fired his way. Devin McDonald turned away 19 of 21 shots directed at the Camrose net. The growl went out of the Kodiaks when they were blanked 5-0 by the Okotoks Oilers in the third game of the playoff series on March 18. The Oilers lead the best of seven series 3-0. Okotoks poured the pressure on early in the game and led 2-0 after the first period. The Oilers outshot Camrose 12-9 and more importantly, had the upper hand on good scoring chances. Although the Kodiaks clawed back with 12 shots in each of the remaining two periods, it was the Oilers that kept adding to the lead. Okotoks goalie D'Amico stopped all 33 shots he faced for the shutout. McDonald started in net for the Kodiaks and turned away 10 of 12 shots. He gave way to Matt Gibney, who couldn't turn the team fortunes around. He stopped 11 of 14 shots. In the second game, Okotoks scored with 34 seconds left in the middle frame to take a 2-1 lead. That was enough to win the contest. The Kodiaks received a goal from defenceman Kirsten Odendaal on an unassisted play earlier in the period to tie the game. In a onesided refereed game, the Oilers received only one penalty compared to six handed out to the Kodiaks. Okotoks outshot Camrose 12-4 in the first, but it was all Kodiaks after that. Camrose outplayed and outshot the Oilers 21-16, but failed to put the puck past D'Amico. McDonald played well making 26 saves. In the opener, Camrose scored first on a Luc Vandale tally. Then the Oilers went to work with three straight goals to win 3-1. Okotoks had the edge in shots 33-25, but McDonald held his ground to make 30 saves.

Camrose participant "pumped" about group study exchange Five members of a Group Study Exchange are set to depart for New Zealand, and all agree it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. The team will depart March 30th for the four-week exchange. Camrose participant Nathalie Stanley, the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Battle River Watershed Alliance Member, says, “It’s an amazing opportunity to learn about watershed management and environmental education on the other side of the world. Plus we can enjoy the opportunity to travel and network.”

The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 and in the early years of their professional lives. “It’s an opportunity for the participants to further their careers by spending vocational days with managers in comparable workplaces in New Zealand. Everyone benefits from time to share programs, common problems, challenges and solu-

tions,” says Mary Drader, Rotarian and GSE Team leader from Drayton Valley. The Group Study Exchange program has made ambassadors of thousands of people around the world since 1965. A total of 565 groups travelled in Group Study Exchanges this past year. These ambassadors are our key to a world of greater peace and understanding. “I feel so privileged to have been chosen to represent Camrose, our local Rotary clubs and the Rotary District and to work

with such a supportive organization,” comments Nathalie. Other team members include an RCMP officer, an instructor from Norquest College, and an Alberta Agriculture employee specializing in Agro-environmental Policy.

Rotary Club of Camrose completes school build By Dan Jensen

The community of Otoxha, Belize, has a new school, thanks to the Rotary Club of Camrose and its generous supporters. "They are very appreciative of what Rotary and our community has done for them," explained Ron Grue, who spent a month in Otoxha from the end of January to the end of February spearheading the school's construction. "The school is something they have needed for quite some time." The school was built at a total cost of approximately $23,000 with $16,000 of that amount coming from the Rotary Club of Camrose. The remainder was collected by Grue before he left from friends, relatives, businesses and Messiah Lutheran Church. "The actual cost was $23,300," said Grue, "but that included the solar system, which was part of the Rotary budget for next year." Grue arrived in Otoxha Jan. 26 and immediately set about staking and levelling the site. "The trucks filled with materials started arriving the second day I was there," said Grue. "The second one came at about 6 at night after I and all the people from Otoxha who were helping me had put in a long day. I was too tired to do anything so they unloaded it themselves until 9:30 at night. The truck was at the bottom of the hill so they had to form a chain gang to move all the materials, including the cement blocks, to the site. The camaraderie was just amazing. Even though it was extremely hard work they were whooping and hollering and having a good time." The pouring of the cement floors and footings was completed by the end of the first week. "We mixed all the cement for the footings by hand but we did get a gas powered cement mixer from the church which we used for the floors," said Grue. "When we laid the blocks everything was mixed by hand." Grue was assisted in the project by five other Camrose Rotarians. Keith Carlson and LeRoy Johnson arrived in the second week to assist with the cleaning and placement of blocks used in the walls, while Gord Schmidt, Maurice Francoeur and Ken Roberts arrived in the third. "Gord was able to take charge of the rafters and the metal work, which I was very thankful for because I just hate metal," said Grue. "Maurice did a lot of the electrical wiring while Ken did a lot of the cutting of

wood that was needed to fill in between the rafters. "Without the work they did I wouldn't have been able to do the project in a million years." The arrival of the other Rotarians was welcome in another way for Grue as it meant he was able to get some of the foods he had been missing. "The first week was especially tough food wise because all I had to eat was corn tortillas and beans or corn tortillas and a little bit of rice. When the other Rotarians came they brought granola bars, eggs, and other foods to supplement what we were getting. In the first week I might have received one tiny little piece of chicken. We are so used to a protein diet and they don't have that other than

beans. And the breakfast, dinner and supper was always the same." The only person Grue hired for the build was a mason. "I made an agreement with him that I would pay him $25 Canadian a day, $50 Belize, and he was happy with that, but after he worked for a week I could see he was very good and that he would actually teach the local workers how to do things, so I increased his pay to $35 a day," said Grue. "In the entire three weeks he was there I think I paid him $450 Canadian." Grue always encouraged the workers from Otoxha to take ownership of their new school. When questioned by the locals as to what they were doing was good enough he replied by ask-

ing them whether they felt it was good enough. "I told them it was their school not mine, and that I was just one of the guys to help out. I did a lot of work but my main job was planning and staying ahead of things so that when something was needed it was ready and available." In the entire project, Grue never laid one cement block. "I showed them (the people of Otoxha) how to do it with the first one but after that it was up to them," said Grue. "They were very apprehensive about trying something new but if you encouraged them they would do it. In the end they were proud of what they had accomplished." After the placement of the roof and the departure of his Rotarian colleagues, Grue spent the last full week assisting with the plastering of the walls, laying of all the sidewalks, and installing 200 linear feet of hardwood shelves for the school's library and computer room. "It was a good feeling to get everything completed," said Grue. "I was thankful that before I left I was able to see the kids actually sitting at their desks." Work on the final two days consisted of making improvements to the electrical system. "The school had been wired I don't know how many years ago and everything was to the breaker panel but it had never been connected to a power source," said Grue. "Once I got everything hooked up to the generator and it was working I told them to turn on the lights on the school. The kids thought it was really cool to have lights on in the school."

One of the things that impressed Grue the most about the project was the quality of wood that was used. "The two by fours I had ordered for the trusses were over two inches thick and over four inches wide, and were hardwood," said Grue. "We would die to have that lumber here. That roof that we built will be there forever and always." The school's formal dedication on the final Sunday was followed by a feast of pigs cooked by the women of Otoxha. "I brought candy for the kids and the adults and passed it around," said Grue. Though the school is finished, Grue is already looking for other ways he can help the people of Otoxha improve their quality of life. "I would like to hook up some kind of system to bring water from a waterfall that is nearby because the water they have available in the rainy season is not that great," said Grue. "I would also like to help them buy a mixer so they can grind the corn that they are feeding to the pigs. If they grind the corn the pigs will be able to get more nutrients and be able to grow faster." The Rotary Interact Club at Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School will be painting the new school in Otoxha when they go there at the end of this month. "There are 17 students that are going to get the experience of a lifetime being in this village for two days," said Grue. "They are actually going to be able to live and eat in people's homes as we did. To me it was an awesome experience."

Agnes Hansen Agnes Charlotte Jones was born on Friday, February 19, 1926 to Walter and Talitha Jones in the Viewpoint, AB (near New Norway) district. It was here that she was raised, attended Dried Meat Lake School and spent most of her life. She met and married the neighboring bachelor Carl Hansen on May 7, 1950. In early 1958, they welcomed their chosen daughter Connie into their home. Never has a child been so cherished while being raised by such kind, generous and loving parents. Connie feels the same way today. Carl and Agnes worked hard to make a good living farming over many years, and had many hired men to help them out with the spring and harvest work. Agnes often said she should have written a book. It would have been a real entertaining read, probably on the non-fiction bestseller’s list. She always had good meals on the table or to the field for the men, all while there was baking under way, the garden and flowers were tended, the house was well kept, cows were milked twice a day, the canning done, pickling and freezing in the fall, not to mention hauling grain. Even while doing all this, she usually had a crocheting or embroidery project on the go. In the winter she would go to ceramics and completed many beautiful pieces. No wonder she loved Sundays – the day of rest! Carl and Agnes retired to Camrose in 1992, and she was very happy to do so. Carl passed away in 2003, and she stayed in that home until 2009, when she bought a condo in Fieldstone Place, where she made many new friends with her great neighbors! She stayed busy doing the things she enjoyed. Sadly, Carmen and Agnes never did get on their bingo outing, but Agnes did help teach Carmen the art of baking buns! Secretly, I think she preferred baking to bingo. Agnes lived also for a short time in Sunrise Village, and the recent weeks in Birch Cottage of Bethany Meadows. It is said that Friday’s child is loving and giving, and that is such an accurate description of Agnes. Family was so important to her. She was always interested in what her grandsons were doing, where they were working, or what her nieces or nephews were up to. Holidays were always celebrated with family get-togethers and food – a table laden with yumminess, and the meals ended with groans with the men heading for couches, recliners or a place to become horizontal until they felt close to comfortable again, sometimes passing up on dessert until ‘later’. You seldom left her home without a treat in hand – perhaps a bag of cookies, squares or, if you were really lucky, a plate of leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch, a pie, or a dozen freshly baked buns! She loved her family and friends unconditionally, and was so generous with that love. Agnes passed away peacefully on March 14, 2013, at the age of 87 years. She is survived by her loving daughter Connie (Keith) Winter; two grandsons Neil Winter (Brittany Paquette) of Camrose, and Bryan (Carmen) Winter; and two great-granddaughters Alanna and Brynn of Blackfalds. She also leaves to mourn her sisters Jean (Bryan) Braim of Camrose and Betty Hansen of Hay Lakes; and brothers and sisters-in-law George Gialet of Camrose, Lydia MacDonald of Onoway, Frieda Jones of Camrose, Alfred (Ruby) Hansen of Edmonton and Hilda Rilling of Gunn; and numerous nieces and nephews. Agnes was predeceased by her parents Walter and Talitha; her husband of 53 years, Carl; her brothers Harold, Lewis and Donald; her sisters Pearl, Evelyn, Barbara and Velma; her brothers-in-law Adam Scovoranski, Harold Hewitt, Harold Rolseth, Ted Hansen, Bob MacDonald, Albert Hansen and John Rilling; and her sisters-in-law Pearl Jones and Cristal Hansen. A funeral service was held at 2:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at Weber’s Mount Pleasant Chapel in Camrose. Memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to Camrose Church of God.

Landowners not convinced of benefits of property rights advocate By Murray Green

Due to the appointment of Alberta's first property rights advocate (the first such office in Canada) the government claims that Albertans can now get information to help them with property rights problems. However, frustrated landowners at the Alberta Surface Rights Federation annual general meeting, at the Norsemen Inn in Camrose on March 8, didn't receive the patronage appointment with a lot of optimism. Albertaâ€™s first property rights office was officially opened in Lethbridge on Feb. 6 and is estimated to cost taxpayers up to $1 million a year. The office opening follows the appointment of Lee Cutforth as Albertaâ€™s first property rights advocate. The vast majority of Alberta landowners wanted several controversial Bills repealed by the province last year. The government didn't want to relinquish the ultimate power over landowners, so it turned the matter over to a task force. Instead, the creation of a property rights advocate and the opening of a property rights office was due to a recommendation of the Property Rights Task Force. Cutforth made his first visit to Camrose at the Alberta Surface Rights Federation annual general meeting at the Norsemen Inn on March 8. "It has been almost three months since I have been back in the saddle and it has been a lot of back and forth talk of what I can and can't do," said Cutforth. "I have been a lawyer for over 25 years, but before that I came from a farm. It is a huge change going from working in the private sector to working with the government." The advocate is based in Lethbridge and was appointed to a threeyear term following a competitive recruitment process. "In theory, there is going to be a branch office in Edmonton, as well as a deputy advocate, a policy researcher, a communications officer and two administrative assistants on staff. I can't say what the time frame is going to be for staffing that. As all of you know, there are some budget issues coming out and I don't know how that filters down to my office." The office was formed to give three basic tools to property owners. "One is information to help landowners with the process and we overlap with the farmers' advocate office," explained Cutforth. "The second tool is a complaint mechanism. If you are facing expropriation, or compensative taking, and if the authority is not playing by the rules, you can file a complaint with our office. We will look into it and prepare a report. The third tool is the annual report to the government. "It gets sent in at the end of every year. I can make recommendations and send it on to the speaker. He then tables it and then it is up to the elected politicians to do something with it," added Cutforth. "My office does not get into civil disputes between private parties. We don't deal with private contract issues." The newly formed office has been criticized for having no power. "I have three tools in my box and the only thing I can promise is that I will use them the best that I can," said Cutforth. "I hear that we wouldn't really need the office if we didn't have that controversial Bill 2 land stewardship act. This office is important because property rights are important."

Province taking away landowners' rights says advocate By Murray Green

Farmers' Advocate Peter Dobbie is coming up to his first anniversary in his position. He updated local landowners about his role at the Alberta Surface Rights Federation annual general meeting, at the Norsemen Inn in Camrose on March 8. "One of the things we were successful in doing, and the government should continue to do, is work on posting every recommendation, comment or concern that is submitted by anyone, to the website so we can all look at it," said Peter. "What we learned is that there are a lot of good ideas out there and it is hard to measure the support of the ideas unless we can all see them. When I took the position, a three-year contract, it was to bring the interests of farmers and ranchers to develop government policy." Peter had to figure out the best way to deliver the ideas and turn them into favourable policy. "I said the marching orders have changed. In the past, the office had evolved into a position where information was provided, but the actual role of advocacy had dropped off. When I met with the office team, I wanted to change the focus. They wanted the constraints put upon them freed up, so they could work more on the advocacy side," explained Peter.

"So, instead of just providing you with information, they wanted to be able to work with you to advance your cause. The team was looking for a change in its role." The Farmers' Advocate office's role is to listen to farmers and ranchers to advance concerns. A commitment is different than a goal. "Our bumper sticker is a commitment to help farmers and ranchers. My goal, perhaps, is to get the surface rights act amended to change the right of entry fee of $500 an acre to let's say $2,500 an acre because that is the current average. There should be a five-year process for that," said Peter. "We are working on that goal because a number of farmers and ranchers have told us that is important to them. Whether we are successful or not in making that change to the surface rights act doesn't change the underlying commitment. We will be still here to work for you to advance your concerns." Peter starts the process by trying to determine what is in the best interests of the parties involved. "I don't have any statutory authority, or ability to amend legislation. I don't have the ability to issue fines, or to do anything other than influence government," confessed Peter. "What we are trying to do

as an office, is to get out as much as possible. We have staff attending as many of the energy regulator meetings as we can. One of the things we are trying to get embedded is the definition of landowners. If there is proposed activity on your property, it is our office's view that it should automatically include the landowner where the activity is proposed," he added. "There is an argument out there that regulators don't want to set minimum standards because they are concerned that some operators will only align themselves with the lowest minimum standards. What we are hearing from farmers and ranchers is that they understand that, but some minimum standard is better than none." Peter explained that he, and his three assistants, work closely with the agricultural minister. "We are a small team. My job is to learn your concerns and pass them on. We will help, when we can, with disputes or concerns between farmers. We see very little of that now. Most of the requests for help now are for information and to assist with advising on processes. On the big picture side of it, we are trying to influence government policies." It is too late for the Farmers' Advocacy to change Bill 2 because it is legislation. "How-

ever, we can learn the Bill, read it and try to figure out how the land stewardship act is tied to it. At the very least, we can try to get the regulations improved. We can get definitions, so that everyone knows when they should be notified." Surface rights organizations and landowners are not happy about Bill 2 because it leaves them with little rights. "There is a general frustration out there and people are concerned that it is a significant loss of your ability to say no as a landowner," added Peter. "I want the government to took at surface rights to update the act to reflect current practices and deal with reclamation that needs to be done by companies." Success comes when farmers and ranchers band together to make a stand for their rights. "When farmers work together as a group, you have power. Companies try to talk to landowners as one-on-one, so they have control. Farmers need to share information. One thing you can do is work together, or simply not sign off as the weak link in the chain. Spend the time and energy to work with each other," Peter advised. "We have no more authority or ability then you do. Our office is not a decision maker. With

some luck, we will be good listeners and decision influencers," said Peter. The floor was opened for questions or concerns. One landowner said he can't afford one lawyer to go against a team of lawyers from the oil and gas companies. A local landowner expressed his concern about the farmers' advocacy position having a lack of teeth and that the role has been reduced over the years. "The reason I raised the issue of the difference between a commitment and a goal, is to indicate that we may not win every fight or the big fights, but we will pursue your interests," said Peter. "One of the problems we have in this province right now is that we have a difference of understanding for the control of land rights. In Canada, you have limited rights. You can't build a hog barn or lagoon if a school is on the neighbouring property. The government regulates the use of property. The concern many farmers and ranchers have raised with me is that creep of the reduced ability to say no. It comes down to the fundamental role of government versus the right of the landowner," added Peter. "I will push for you, but I need help."

Ford Edge Style and technology together

By Dan Jensen

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

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

a smarter, safer, simpler way to connect drivers with incar technologies and their digital lives. It replaces traditional vehicle buttons, knobs and gauges with clear, crisp LEC screens and five-way controls like those found on cell phones and MP3 playDan Madison ers. Two 4.2-inch full-colour Lamb Ford Sales LCD screens flank an analogue speedometer and an eight-inch touch-screen LCD at the top of the centre stack. A five-way switch on each side of the steering wheel crossbar controls the information displayed on the corresponding instrument panel screens. The screens can be personalized to display information relevant to each individual driver using a simple button click, voice command or touch-screen tap. Safety The advanced Personal Safety System uses sophisticated sensors to optimize deployment of the dual-stage front airbags in certain frontal collisions. Front-seat side airbags deploy in certain side-impact collisions, while the Safety Canopy system increases protection with a rollover sensor and side-curtain airbags. Each standard sideview mirror features an integrated convex blind spot mirror that helps identify vehicles and objects nearby, so you can avoid them.

Teaching your teenager the proper way to drive By Dan Jensen

Few parents look forward to the day when they must teach their teenager to drive a car. Handing over the keys to a teenager and then riding shotgun as he or she learns the basics is hardly a recipe for a stress-free afternoon, but it's a part of life many parents must endure sooner or later, and it's

a rite of passage for their children. While it's likely your son or daughter will not be a great driver from the get-go, there are ways parents can make the process of teaching their teen to drive less stressful and more likely to be a success. * Utilize an empty parking lot as a classroom.

Teaching your teen the right way to drive Continued from page 33

"Empty parking lots are great places to teach teens to drive," said AMA driving instructor and retired Camrose Police Service traffic officer Rick Hopwood. "In an empty parking lot, teens can practice skills like turning or braking without the risk of running into another driver. This gives kids the feel of a vehicle and an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the vehicle's controls, including those for turn signals and headlights. Find an empty parking lot that is large, such as one outside a closed grocery store or a nearby school when school is not in session." * Find a less-travelled road to practice more subtle driving skills. "Once your teen has become familiar with the vehicle, a good next step is to find a back road or a road without heavy traffic where he or she can learn more subtle driving skills that might be difficult to learn in a parking lot," said Hopwood." Coming to a stop, maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, accelerating and decelerating on roadways and learning to share the road with pedestrians and/or cyclists are all valuable lessons that can be learned on a back road without heavy traffic."

A vehicle history report can be a used car buyer's best friend. Whereas in the past buyers bought used cars and hoped for the best, today's used car buyers can rely on a vehicle history report to tell them all about the vehicle while helping buyers make more informed decisions. "When shopping for a preowned vehicle, you should always ask for a vehicle history report, regardless of whether you're buying from a dealership or a private citizen," said Cathy Wenig, insurance agent with Central Agencies. "If the seller refuses, it's time to look elsewhere. When a seller eagerly provides a vehicle history report, buyers should examine a few things on the report so they can be more comfortable should they ultimately purchase the vehicle." Number of previous owners All vehicle history reports list how many owners a vehicle has had in the past. "In general, the more owners a vehicle has had, the more risk you're assuming as the buyer," said Wenig. "Vehicles that tend to change hands often are less likely to have been well maintained."

Package Includes:

3 Motorcraft premium oil and Motorcraft filter change. 3 Rotate and inspect four tires 3 Inspect brake system and FOR report on measurements ONLY 3 Check belts and hoses 3 Up to 87-point inspection including: Air filter (clogged air filter reduces fuel economy), Steering and suspension component, Battery test and report on findings

In addition to how many owners a car has had, look at who those owners were. Vehicles that were once owned by a rental car company, for instance, were likely not treated very well, as few people care how much abuse their rental car endures. However, a car once owned by a rental agency likely has lots of highway miles on it, and such driving is less taxing on a vehicle than city driving where the vehicle's engine is stopping and starting more frequently. Specifics Just because a seller provides you with a vehicle history report does not necessarily mean that report matches the vehicle you might be buying. "A dishonest seller might try to pass off the history report of another vehicle of the same make and model as his own," said Wenig. "This is done to hide a suspect vehicle history or even when thieves are selling a stolen car to an unsuspecting buyer. Check the vehicle identification number, or VIN, on the vehicle to ensure the car you're looking at matches the car on the CANADA’S MOST DURABLE history report. In addition, each vehicle history report & LONGEST-LASTING DIESEL PICKUP describes the car, so if the description does not match you might be holding an inaccurate report."

Spring Classic lived up to its billing

BRSD facing challenges as result of provincial budget

By Murray Green

Like many other publicly funded organizations in Alberta, the Battle River School Division is facing challenges as a result of the recently announced provincial budget. As was explained at the March 14 meeting of the BRSD Board of Trustees, there is both good news and bad news contained within the Education budget, with some categories of funding being increased and others decreased or eliminated. The bottom line, however, is that BRSD will experience the elimination of two programs effective April 1, reducing the current year’s budget by about $314,000 and further reductions for the 2013-14 school year that will reduce the budget by an additional $997,000. Those reductions could be further complicated by declines in student enrollment, which are not included in the government’s calculations. BRSD is estimating about 100 more students will be finishing grade 12 in June than will start grade 1 next September. Over the next few weeks, division and school leaders will work on plans for how to manage these significant changes in funding and expect to present a plan to the Board in April. On April 16, BRSD has invited the chair of every school council to join board members, division and school leadership representatives for an afternoon presentation of budget information, to help parents and school communities gain a deeper understanding of the upcoming realities. Early Learning Program to begin in September Battle River School Division will be kicking off a new program for young learners, starting in September of 2013. The Early Learning Program will create an opportunity for children 3 and 4 years of age to participate in an organized play-based learning program, which will help them be ready for kindergarten and Grade 1. In the 2013-14 school year, the program will be offered at Sparling School in Camrose, and together with the current PALS program which operates out of Camrose Composite High School. In the following year the program could expand to Tofield, as well as other Camrose schools, and might include a French Immersion component. Expansion to other areas of the school division could happen in the fall of 2015. “This is an exciting opportunity,” says Superintendent of Schools Dr. Larry Payne. “We’ve had many requests for this type of service, from parents who want to ensure their children are ready for school. The program will be play-based and developmentally appropriate for children of these young ages and we do believe it will give them a good start on their educational path.” The program will be required to be self-sustaining, with no subsidy from the school division. Details of what the program will include, the operating schedule and when parents can register their children will be shared as soon as possible. It’s survey season! Each year Battle River School Division seeks input from students, parents and staff regarding their educational experience over the past year. Surveys are available on the BRSD website at www.brsd.ab.ca and will be accessible until March 28.

In most sports you have a training camp or pre-season period to work yourself into midseason shape. Not so in rodeo. However, the cowboys and cowgirls looked like they are ready for the long season ahead by turning up at the Camrose Spring Classic Pro Rodeo with the attitude of performing well for the local fans, March 15 to 17. Michael Solberg of Sunnybrook scored an 84 in Sunday's bareback riding event to take home the top prize money of $1,346. Jake Vold of Ponoka followed that with an 83, Kevin Langevin of Bonnyville was third with an 82 and Clayton Bunney of Cessford made the top four with an 80.5 ride. In steer wrestling, Justin Guenthner of Vermilion turned in the fastest time of 3.8 seconds on Saturday to earn, $2,043 and the championship title in Camrose. Nolan Conway of Cut Bank, Montana, and Dayton Roworth of Czar tied for second with an even four seconds. Chad Kurtz, of Fort Saskatchewan, was fourth with a 4.2 time. Clinton Cox of Peace River rode saddle bronc horse Devil's Who for an 83.5 score from the judges on Sunday. He earned $1,442 for travel money. Jake Brown of Eckville recorded an 81, Jim Berry of Rocky Mountain House scored an 80 and Mark O’ Dempsey of Mayorthorpe was a half point back at 79.5 to reach the top four in the event. In tie down roping, Darren Dublanko of Thorsby had the quickest hands to turn in a time of 9.6 seconds. The fast time put $1,632 in his pocket. A tie between Logan Bird of Nanton and Curtis Cassidy of Donalda occurred at second place as both cowboys recorded a time of 10.3 seconds. Jess Finnerty of Duchess rounded out the top four with a time of 10.9 seconds. Kagen Schmidt

Melissa Thiessen of Stettler was next at 13.741, Lauren Byrne of Okotoks was third at 13.856 and Steffanie Mather of Medicine Hat crossed the finish line in 13.857 to complete the top four performers Team ropers Brett Buss and

Tyrel Flewelling, of Ponoka and Lacombe, sparkled with a time of six seconds flat on Saturday to win $1,437 each. A tie between Rocky Ross and Marty Lillico (Botha and Stettler) and Trevor Jones and Keely Bonnett (Ponoka) occurred for second with two times of 6.2 seconds. Stacy Cornet and Dale Skocdopole, of Brant and Big Valley, placed fourth with a time of 6.3 seconds. Scott Schiffner of Strathmore rode bull Red Stag to an 89 score on Friday night to set the tone of the bull riding event. He earned $1,447 for having the top score. Tyler Pankewitz of Ponoka netted an 88, Garrett Green of Meeting Creek collected 84.5 points.

Be aware of fraudsters trying to take your money By Murray Green

Keep your credit and debit card information secure and safe from fraudsters. That's the message from the Camrose Police Service during Fraud Prevention Month. "In Camrose, we haven't had too many occurrences were people are necessarily falling victim to devices that have been altered. We see that in larger centres such as Edmonton and Calgary, and we are seeing it more and more," explained Const. Matt Wilton. "Criminals can modify the pin pad on the credit and debit card machine. They have actually stolen the unit from the store at the end of the day, made modifications to it, and then brought it back early the next morning." One of the most expensive crimes endured by millions of Canadian consumers every year is fraud. "Before criminals would change the pin pad, but with new systems the computer knows when the pad doesn't match.

Now modifications are made by criminals to add bluetooth, or components inside of it to send wireless messages every time a card is swiped," added Const. Wilton. "Overlays are still being found in larger centres where you put your card in and a camera records your information, or pin code strokes. They come back at a later date and the device has recorded all of the transactions that have occurred and they have your information." Gas stations are running into this problem now. "Again, Camrose is a smaller centre, so we haven't seen it here. But, it is happening in Edmonton and branching out to the Sherwood Park or Stony Plain and surrounding areas," said Const. Wilton. "Camrose is not that much farther out. I was at a conference and what they were saying with gas stations is that criminals are able to open the pump with keys. Most pumps have similar keys. Some criminals have gotten a

hold of these keys and are able to open them and install the guts of a device right inside the machine. You, as a customer, would have no idea if that machine has been tampered with." The Camrose Police Service advises customers to pay in person, rather than at the pump. "Some gas stations have hours where they are not open and it would be easy to install these devices after the station is closed," added Const. Wilton. Keep track of your purchases and always examine your monthly bills. "You have to monitor your card. Be very careful when purchasing goods online and only go to web sites that you know and trust. If someone sends you a link to follow, don't use it, because it could lead you somewhere unsafe, such as a fake web page that looks exactly like the real page. Go directly to the site instead," advised Const. Wilton. "Going to a fake web page can lead to phishing."

Phishing is used by Internet scammers who use emails to lure you into providing them with your financial information, passwords, or personal information. "A legitimate looking email could be sent to you that looks like it was sent from a bank. I received one, but fortunately it looked like a bank that I don't deal with and I knew right away it was a scam," said Const. Wilton. "It asks you to follow a link and it goes to an unsafe web page. Remember don't follow links. Banks don't send emails of this nature. They will ask you to come in, rather than transact business by email." In a convenience society, taking the short and quick way of doing business isn't always the best. "Prevention is worth the effort. If you can perform your transactions in person, whether it is going to the bank or paying for gas, then we encourage you to do so," said Const. Wilton. "I

like internet banking because I can check my account more than the once a month statement you receive. I like to check for transactions that I am not aware of. But the thing I do is never look at it in a public place or public computer. I won't use Wi-Fi in a public area to check my information. They are unsecured sites." Const. Wilton suggests using your home computer with a secure connection that you need passwords for is better. He also indicated that changing your passwords or email address frequently also is a good idea.

If you suspect you have been a victim of unscrupulous activities or fraud, contact your local police or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre toll-free from anywhere in North America, at 1-888-495-8501.

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.

United Church wings its way to the future By Alex Oliver

On February 9, 22 members of the Camrose United Church met in a six-hour workshop entitled “Winging Our Way to the Future” to discuss the church’s role in years to come. Joyce Madson and Clair Woodbury of the Congregational Life Centre in Edmonton, whose mission is to assist congregations to be more effective in their ministry, led the group. Joyce indicated, “The event was organized to provide the group with an opportunity to review their vision and mission that was identified four years ago.” At that time Camrose United Church said its vision was “To become a safe community where no one feels alone and everyone feels at home” along with a mission “Together, we share and celebrate God’s love.” The team leaders took the group through three elements of envisioning the future. The most important was to generate new ideas of what the preferred future of Camrose United Church would be; second was strategic thinking about how these visions would make a difference in the lives of the congregation; and third was fiduciary thinking to find resources for those visions. The participants had plenty of opportunity to discuss and share in small group situations and then creatively report back to the group as a whole. "It is very heartwarming to know that so many people have shown their continued faith in the future of Camrose United Church,” noted church member Jim Anderson. “Its future is very bright.” Five visions were presented. First, utilize more technology to enhance the worship experience and other spiritual growth and development. Second, reach out to other spiritual partners such as Augustana University. Third, minister outside of the church and address the needs and issues within our community. Fourth, encourage drama within the church as part of the service and as separate presentations; and fifth, foster lay leadership of all ages. Although Camrose United Church currently incorporates the above ideas, it was felt that these needed to be more sharply defined. “Who would have thought that we would emerge jabbering and bubbling with energy?” questioned Bernice HolowachukSmith. “This mixture of 22 people gobbled up in friendship, laughter and camaraderie to make the church mission statement happen made me glad to have been part of this awesome day.” Clair Woodbury pointed out, “The church’s leadership now has the task of moving these new initiatives forward.” And, Tom Dobbie, Chair of the Board, optimistically expressed, “The participants' involvement convinced me that as a Church we are healthy, progressive and caring. I have no doubt that with our expertise and determination we can fulfill our future strategies."

Actually Bill 36 is the Land Stewardship Act and Bill 2 is the Responsible Energy Development Act. Cutforth pointed out that governments change over the years. "We don't want to leave something as important as property rights, left with the government of the day," added Cutforth. "Property rights are necessary for a free society and a stable economy. If you are not fairly compensated, you begin to feel that you as a landowner are subsidizing the cost of utilities, gas, transportation and whatever is trying to cross your land. You begin to feel that you are bearing an unfair share of the cost of public good, rather than having that cost passed on to the consumer." Several unconvinced landowners voiced their displeasure over the advocate's "lack of teeth" when it comes to going against the government. Cutforth then encouraged people to write him letters. "It is not my place to carry the government's water. My job is to represent the interests of property owners to give public voice to those concerns through the annual report," explained Cutforth. "I can't impose my will, only my recommendations, and I can't give public voice to it. I can raise the profile and that can be helpful. I can't change things. That is left with the people in legislation." Landowners questioned Cutforth, from the floor, on the lack of democracy in government, bullying tactics used by both oil companies and by government, what his definition of public interest is, why food supply is not the government's number one priority, and he was challenged to help some landowners who have been fighting with an oil company on clean-up for about 25 years. "All I can do is look at it," Cutforth said. "It sounds like a civil matter. I'll pass this on to Peter." Peter Dobbie of the office of the Farmers' Advocate said "We can look at it and get back to you." Cutforth wants to raise awareness and when challenged from the floor about his previous support of involvement with donations to the current government, he brushed them aside by saying, "The real issue is not what I did up to the appointment; it is with what happens after that," said Cutforth. "I can help people with their concerns by trying to get them information."
