Camrosians reduce power usage By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents did their part in the effort to conserve energy March 23. Data compiled by FortisAlberta showed that residents consumed 4.7 per cent less energy during Earth Hour (8:30 to 9:30 p.m.) than they did during Earth Hour on March 16, 2012. "That's enough energy to power 65,467 15-watt CFL bulbs, or 1,091 houses for an hour," said FortisAlberta communications advisor Kevin Haslbeck. Earth Hour is the highlight of a major campaign to encourage businesses, communities and

individuals to take the simple steps needed to cut their emissions on an ongoing basis. "It's about simple changes," said FortisAlberta. "Collectively they can make a difference." Camrose residents and businesses can improve their energy efficiency by: turning off their lights when they leave home; replacing conventional lights with LED lights which are sixty times more energy efficient; using reading lights when they need a small amount of light instead of overhead lights for the entire room; unplugging phone chargers, comput-

ers and other electronics when not in use as they continue to use electricity; using a power bar that can easily be shut off; using ENERGY STAR appliances which consume 30 to 50 per cent less energy; cleaning and dusting the coils at the back of their refrigerator once a year to help the compressor cool faster and run more efficiently; unplugging seldom used appliances such as that second refrigerator in the basement; running the dishwasher only when it is full; and using the microwave or toaster oven to cook or warm leftovers.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER April 16, 2013

Students and parents march to protest assessments By Dan Jensen

Students and their parents presented a 2,800 signature petition to the Battle River School Division last Thursday asking that the superintendent of schools eliminate sections of an administrative procedure coming into effect in high schools. The petition objects to what it says is a "no zero policy" and the way in which teachers are required to record and report the individual marks of students. "We want the no zero policy eliminated," states the petition, "and the recording and reporting of learner outcomes to be changed to percentages for Grades 7 to 12." Hay Lakes parent Shelly Dilter told BRSD trustees and administrators in a rally outside the BRSD office that at present teachers are forced to enter marks into the system as whole numbers only â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1, 2, 3 or 4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to cover a 16 per cent range within different categories. "This is where the inaccuracies begin," said Dolter. "The entered marks are converted into percentages, as required by Alberta Education, however converting marks from percentages to whole numbers back to percentages loses accuracy." Danielle Wowk, a Grade 11 student at Camrose Composite High School, said students do not believe the administrative procedure can accurately reflect grades. "The inaccuracies begin with what is entered into the computer system," said Wowk. "The school division's computer system, Maplewood, limits the input of marks to a whole number on a four point scale. Although the four point scale described in appendix A has decimal points, from discussions with teachers they cannot enter marks with a decimal placement into the computer for grading. Teachers are forced to enter whole numbers, one, two, three or four, into the computer. This is where the inaccuracies begin. Also, those numbers then need to be converted to percentages to comply with the percentage requirements of Alberta Education. Every time a mark is converted, it loses more and more accuracy. We

have to question the accuracy of this assessment system." Using an example, Wowk said if a student receives 84 to 100 per cent consistently on all outcomes, the teacher will enter these all as the same mark. "This means the student will receive 100 per cent (4/4), even though the student may have never had a grade over 85 per cent. This would seem to be in the student's favour. However, if a student consistently scores in the 'achieving' level with marks of 80 to 83 per cent on all outcomes, the teacher would enter 75 per cent (3/4). In this scenario, the student obviously does not benefit. Regardless of what a student scores, the mark will be rounded up or down by as much as eight points when it is entered into the computer. Consequently, a student who scores 67 per cent will have the same mark entered as a student who scores 83. Both will have a three entered." Wowk said she has asked school administration what her mark will be if she consistently scores within one level of achievement, receiving a range of marks from 84 to 100 per cent on all learner outcomes. "I have been told that I

would receive a four. To clarify, I asked if that meant I would receive 100 per cent, even though I may never have achieved a mark over 85 per cent. I was told that was correct, I would receive a 100 per cent. I was shocked. Does this make any sense?" Wowk said the new assessment procedure also means that students who never hand in an assignment or test cannot receive a zero grade as punishment. "That is wrong. It teaches us nothing about accountability for our actions." Natalya Klutz, a Grade 9 student from Charlie Killam School, said she wants to know her mark as a percentage. "I find it less of a motivator to want to achieve an excelling mark (for marks between 84 and 100 per cent) than to want to achieve, say a 90 per cent. I know many students, including myself, who like to challenge themselves with their marks, but if we do not know our accurate marks, it is very hard for us to do that. I feel much happier and much more successful when I know I received a 90 per cent than an 85. Knowing my accurate percentage motivates me to work

Danielle Wowk made a presentation to BRSD trustees and administration on administrative procedure 360.

harder to achieve my academic goals." Klutz agreed the AP360 student assessment system does not accurately show students' marks. "Each of the four point marks represents a broad range of percentages. I have no idea if my work is at the lower or upper parameter of the representative number. An accurate percentage lets me know how much I need to improve in order to reach my percentage goals." Klutz said incomplete or missing work that was not discussed with the teacher prior should result in consequences such as zero. "Clear expectations and consequences for not meeting the expectations provide students with a sense of what life after school will be like. If students do not get consequences now, later on in life they will think they can get away with big things, or think they will be fine if they don't pay a bill or don't pay rent. Students will also not do their work if they know their mark won't be affected by a zero." Wowk said she is concerned about how her inaccu-

rate marks will be accepted for scholarships, as well as entrance into university. She said she has written letters to the CCHS administration, to the school division, the education minister, and most recently, to Bruce McAllister, the Wildrose Party education critic. "I am faced with a serious dilemma. I have been given the option to either stay at CCHS or to consider other options. My parents have told me that they will respect my decision whatever it is. I am so concerned about this new system that if it does not change back to percentages only (that is the recording and reporting in only percentages, no Alpha descriptors, no four-point conversion scale), I will have no choice but to pursue my Grade 12 year in another school division. I say this with a heavy heart, as I will be leaving behind some amazing teachers and dear friends. (The school division) slogan is every student, every day a success. I interpret this to mean in part that every student is valued. I don't believe this applies to me, as I will be a casualty of this new assessment system."

Trustees will spend more time looking at administrative procedure By Dan Jensen

The Battle River School Division board of trustees wants to take more time to review administrative procedure 360 before taking any further action. "We have made some response with regard to AP360 but have not had the opportunity to spend any time looking at the (most recent) details," explained board chair Doug Bowie in meeting with students and parents outside the school division office April 11. "We are not going to discuss the pros and the cons or the opinions that we or anybody else has with regard to this until we have an opportunity to go a little deeper. I think that was one of the key elements in our superintendent making the decision that he did and I think he did a good job in responding to the community desires and concerns."

Approximately 150 students and parents took part in a rally at the BRSD office April 11.

Bowie said he is happy that the community of students and parents want to work with the school division to reach a good solution.

"We want to do what is right for all the students." Assistant superintendent of schools in charge of learning, Rick Jarrett, said the division

has sat around the table with students and parents to discuss the merits of AP360 and will continue to do that. "If you are a parent or a

student who wishes to stay in this conversation with us around assessment, we are all in. This is about getting in a room with teachers, students and parents to have an in depth discussion about what good sound quality assessment looks like in this school division so that we have you ready for a 21st century that is different than the one you are in right now and certainly the one that your parents and I experienced when we were in school." Jarrett said it is wrong to suggest the school division has not listened to the parents and students. "We have delayed the implementation of this administrative procedure twice, and now three times just recently, because we did listen and we did hear that not everyone was on board with this."

and Garden Spring HoDme IRECTORY

Gardening is often seen as an art form to men and women with a green thumb. Once the landscape is designed, homeowners may not want to change much from year to year. That is where perennial plants can be an advantage. Designing a landscape and keeping the garden looking beautiful can take a keen eye. It also may require a lot of time and commitment. If home gardeners have to replant items year after year, gardening can become time-consuming and expensive. Turning to perennial plants and flowers to serve as the anchor for a home garden can make the process easier. Perennials are plants that live indefinitely. In terms of flowering plants, perennials will bloom every year. In essence, they have the staying power of shrubbery but are more delicate in nature and often appealing to the eye. There are perennials for every season, soil type and sun exposure. Perennials come in a wide variety of blooming flowers or attractive foliage. Chances are if a homeowner wants to add perennials to the garden, there is a variety available that will fit his or her needs. Here are some perennials that can be added to the garden: lavender, ornamental grasses, asters, chrysanthemums, irises, poppies, milkweed, goldentufts, anemones, columbines, daylilies, peonies and hostas. Once perennials are in place, there is relatively minimal maintenance that is required. The tuneups that may be needed are some deadheading to promote new and stronger growth and some cleaning up after winter before the new blooming season takes place. Once the early spring season arrives and the ground is not too muddy or rain-soaked, clear out any leaves and debris that have gathered around where perennials are located. Gardeners can also till the mulch or soil in these areas to aerate the planting beds. Using shears, cut down any dead grasses, stems and stalks from spent perennials that overwintered. Remove any dead wood and broken branches. Be careful not to trim spring-blooming shrubs because some flowers bloom on year-old stems and this can cause the plant not to flower.

PEN .I am a more empathic person POINTS

Volunteer Week April 21 to 27

by Berdie Fowler

A joke got me thinking

In recent years my email has consisted of an increasing number of jokes about seniors. The last one was about a man peacefully puttering in his front yard flower beds when a car crashed through the hedge and stopped in the middle of his lawn. A wrinkled, white-haired 94-year-old woman with a colorful hat emerged. The startled man commented that she seemed rather old to still be driving a car. The old one was quick to reply proudly, “Yes,” she said, “and I no longer need a license.” She went on to explain that she had visited her doctor the day before and he had asked her if she was still driving. She told him with satisfaction that she was and showed him her driver’s licence. He took it, cut it into pieces and dropped it into a waste basket saying, “You won’t be needing that any more.” Of course, it was just a joke but it got me thinking. How often, in real life, do we assume that our message is clear to the listener. Maybe the doctor should have clarified by explaining that without the licence she would no longer be permitted to drive but he assumed, wrongly, that she could 'put two and two together'. Now, what has that arithmetic equation got to do with the subject of driving– but that is often the way we explain what we mean. How often has a parent said to a youngster (or perhaps a spouse reading the morning paper), “Please watch the toast!” We know how that worn-out story ends with the wail of the smoke alarm. The toast was watched but the watchers didn't "connect the dots'. Sometimes parents are not specific when attempting to prepare their children to avoid the perils of growing up. They may say, “Don’t ever let me catch you smoking!” Youngsters undoubtedly know the parent actually means “Do not smoke!” but will see the loophole if they choose to go that direction: smoke without getting caught. Over the years I have stopped participating in short answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ surveys because, for me, there are no short answers. Each one is subject to some condition. I offer examples. The City of Camrose once conducted a telephone survey to ask if I was in favour of the City spraying to eliminate mosquitoes? Yes or No? I couldn’t give a short answer because I needed to know if the spray would be environmentally safe. The surveyor could not tell me so I could not answer the question. Of course I would favour not having mosquitoes but only if the benefits outweighed the risks. The Alberta government once surveyed Albertans to ask if they favoured paying down the debt? Most of us said ‘yes’ and the Klein government did it – really fast. Then we realized that while we may have wanted to become debt-free, we had not favoured excessive slashing of spending which left us with depleted savings plus a load of deferred debt in terms badly neglected infrastructure from which it will be some time before we recover. Now we question the wisdom of having distributed $400 to each Albertan and, later, eliminating modest health care premiums. We now rue the day we deferred so much debt rather than pay as we went. Let’s avoid repeating our mistakes by saying what we clearly mean and not rely on our listeners to 'connect the dots'.

City of Camrose Mayor Marshall Chalmers declared it Camrose Volunteer Week from April 21 to 27 at City Hall. Back row from left to right are Diane Howes, The Bethany Group/Friends of Rosehaven; Daisy Leduc, Habitat for Humanity and Restore; Sylvia Lyon, Camrose Women’s Shelter; Geraint Osborne, Augustana Indoor Soccer Association and Rose City Roots Music Society; Larry Sharuga, Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club; Stacy Wolbeck, Special Olympics; Tamara Zembal, Augustana student, Community Service Learning and various on and off campus activities; Greg Bell, Kinsmen Club. Front row from left to right are Lorraine Bell, About Time Productions; Bernie Boser, Camrose Senior Centre Society and Meals on Wheels; Mayor Chalmers, Harold Crigger, Service Options for Seniors income tax assistance; Jason Heise, Camrose Performing Arts Centre community fund-raising committee chair; and Sandra McLay, Camrose Museum, Camrose Family Violence Response Council and Camrose Stroke Recovery Association. Submitted by CDSS

Camrose and District Support Services (CDSS) says it’s time to formally thank all the volunteers who help make Camrose such a great place in which to live. We should, of course, acknowledge volunteers throughout the year, but National Volunteer Week (April 21 to 27) gives us a special opportunity to do so. Why do people get such a kick out of volunteering? Just ask any one of the people pictured in the National Volunteer Week proclamation photo with Mayor Chalmers, and read on for a couple of examples. According to Jason Heise, former president of the Chamber of Commerce and current chair of the Camrose Performing Arts Centre community fundraising committee, “Volunteering is a lifestyle. It’s also the best way to learn about my community.” Given his generosity helping nonprofit organizations engage effectively with social media, Heise is clearly a front-runner when it comes to spreading the word and encouraging people to get involved in some of the “exiting things that are going on in Camrose.” Another front-runner is Geraint Osborne, this year’s recipient of the Augustana Student Association’s Betty Ostenrud Award for campus and community service. From coordinating a recent Augustana Indoor Soccer Club charity event that raised funds and food for the Camrose

Food Bank, to helping to bring amazing musicians to Camrose through his involvement with the Rose City Roots Music Society, Osborne says his main motivator isn’t exactly altruistic: “Mainly, I do the things I do because they enrich my life and contribute to the kind of community I want to live in.” In fact, Heise and Osborne are representative of most volunteers. People tend to volunteer because of the activity or initiative itself, because volunteering is an enjoyable way of socializing with others, or because they’ve found that getting involved is an effective way of helping to create the kind of community they want for themselves, their families, their friends and their fellow citizens. Many of them are inspired by Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” People who volunteer often prefer to go quietly about the business of organizing events, serving others, helping to make the world a better place and, yes, having a good time. Like Osborne, they’d rather “stay out of the limelight.” When gathering a group of volunteers to help Mayor Marshall Chalmers proclaim April 21 to 27 National Volunteer Week in Camrose, CDSS Executive Director Margaret Holliston was moved by the “genuine humility, surprise and delight” expressed by those who agreed to smile for the camera. Holliston adds “They don’t

see what they are doing as such a big deal. But, my goodness, it’s a huge deal. And, there are so many more generous volunteers who could be in this photo.” Osborne agrees. “Volunteers who are publicly recognized are just some of many who make their organizations successful. Nothing I do would mean anything without the help of the others with whom I volunteer.” Last year CDSS (Camrose and District Support Services) was one of several groups that participated in an Augustana Community Service Learning study of our local not-for-profit voluntary sector, led by then student Shara Harke. In her report, Harke surmised that Camrose agencies underestimate volunteer hours to a significant degree. Using Statistics Canada averages, Harke suspects Camrose benefits from over a million volunteer hours every year. Participating agencies reported only about 20,000 hours. Why is that? Why do we consistently underreport volunteer hours? Harke suggests that voluntary agencies are simply too busy doing things to spend time counting the hours spent doing those things. Holliston suspects that we often don’t recognize the voluntary component of what we do because volunteering is enjoyable and really does come naturally. Borrowing from Heise, “volunteering is a lifestyle. Why would we count lifestyle hours?”

County moves toward cost recovery of water and wastewater systems By Murray Green

Camrose County council approved several first readings to bylaws that allow the county to head in the direction of cost recovery over a five to seven-year period. Although the bylaws would have to be reviewed each year, county assistant administrator Paul King suggested that an increase each year would reduce the amount the county is subsidizing the villages and hamlets. First readings were given to bylaw 1272 Round Hill Wastewater, bylaw 1273 Kingman Wastewater, bylaw 1274 Ohaton Wastewater, bylaw 1275 Braim Wastewater and bylaw 1276 New Norway Wastewater. Water bylaws 1277 (Braim), 1278 (Ohaton), 1279 (Ervick), 1280 (New Norway) and 1281 (Duhamel) were also given first reading.

Notices will be sent to county residents affected and then the bylaws will be brought back to council for consideration for second and third readings at a future Camrose County council meeting. "Our total cost for water is $6.94 per cubic metre (based on one hamlet's current rate) and we are going to charge $2.75, so, based on the volume we are using, it leaves us with a $4.19 deficit," explained Paul. "We have an annual flat fee of $30 from everybody, so our subsidy for 2013 is monthly $2,300 for Ervik, or annually $27,650 and the average cost per user is $907 a year for water. In 2013, we are subsidizing $196,000 for water within the county and we want to reduce that to a point where we break even or even make a little money."

As part of council's priority list for 2013, a cost recovery of services plan was developed. A blended water rate of an increase to $2.75/m3 this year, plus the wastewater bylaws show an increase in respect to a costing analysis for the next five years looking at both operational and capital replacement requirements. In some cases an approximate annual cost increase of 15 to 20 per cent annually for five years could be realized. "The rates are projected to be $2.75 in 2013, $3.36 in 2014, $4.70 in 2015, $5.54 in 2016, $6.65 in 2017 and $7.98 in 2018, which gets us close to the rate of $8 it will likely cost us by then," said Paul. "Based on council's wish to look at the full cost recovery for the delivery of utilities to various hamlets and subdivisions,

although there will in the first year be significant increases in some cases, in the long run it will still require the full five years before full cost recovery is within reach," said Paul. "Although I want to see whole cost recovery, I don't think we can ever charge $8 for water. The sad reality is that we are installing systems that we can't afford to operate. We are putting the future of this county in a position that, in some cases, we may not be able to go without a subsidy," said councillor Brian Austrom. "At some point our biggest customer would start trucking because it would be cheaper. We are in a catch-22 situation. Right now it would cost $5, plus trucking." Line breaks change the equation. "We had one break that cost us $20,000 to repair last

year. If we are going to a full cost recovery we would have to factor those costs into our budget," added Paul. "It could get expensive. In all honesty, New Norway is a shot in the dark. We don't know what to expect with water coming from Bashaw and the Highway 14/21 Water Commission. We are looking at $66,000 a year just to maintain the system." Camrose County council also gave first reading to bylaw 1282 to allow the Hamlet of New Norway to keep its curbside solid waste collection. "Again, to fall in line with cost recovery of the fees, administration is recommending that the rate be changed from $13 per month to $15," suggested Paul. A review of costs for disposal (tipping fees) and pickup charges from the collector reflects this increase.

BRSD responds to protest comments

Get Road Ready for SPRING!

By Dan Jensen

Battle River School Division assistant superintendent in charge of learning Rick Jarrett responded yesterday to comments about the way that student learning is being assessed. "The message that has been given here by different presentations is that BRSD is calculating what appears to be a very precise percentage and then taking that precise percentage and placing it into a category that is really broad, said Jarrett. "I want to clarify that we are actually working in the other direction. We are starting with the broad category. In the case of high schools and now junior high, when we have a significant body of evidence around the levels we are using we are moving it into a percentage. Jarrett said a number in and of itself does not help students be clear with where they are in their learning. In order for us to tell you what you are missing in your learning we have to explain it to you," he said. "The number does not tell you what you are missing. It just tells you that you are missing something. Only language can tell you the pieces that are not there for you. We need to be more explicit." Jarrett said it is important for instructors to use common denominators and levels to show students the difference between where they are and where they need to go. "Having four levels works for us in terms of descriptive feedback for the students. To tell you the difference between a 67 and 76 requires that we have language that tells what every level means. We are saying that language over the course of the learning is most important for the student, not the number, and this is how we are assessing them. We are focusing on language and then taking the data we receive over a period of time and making it into a percentage, knowing that even then we do that there will be a margin of error that we will have to judge as professionals." Jarrett said rather than marking with check marks and xs, teachers in BRSD are marking with things called rubrics, which are graphs with language that demonstrate and tell students what they need to do to be successful. "In our curriculum we know that many different topics need to be taught at different levels of cognition. We can't put numbers on that. We have to use descriptors." Jarrett said schools have been given the leeway to provide zeros in the marking system. "We have asked them to put a process in place around how and when a zero is given. Obviously we will have to make an adjustment to our mark book but we are asking schools to have that policy, those things in place before they start assigning zeros. We're just asking them to be critical about how they do that."

Rash of break-ins being examined By Murray Green

BAWLF SCHOOL Kindergarten Registration Bawlf School is now accepting registrations for the 2013-2014 school year Eligible children must turn five years of age before March 1, 2014.

The Killam/Forestburg RCMP are investigating numerous break and enters that happened on the April 5 and 6 weekend. The RCMP detachment received four complaints of break and enters. All four crimes are believed to have occurred during the night of April 5 and morning of April 6. Three of the break and enter complaints occurred in the town of Killam, while the fourth one took place in the town of Sedge-

wick. Businesses hit in Killam were a hair salon, the arena and the Killam branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. A youth centre was the target of the break and enter in Sedgewick. Thieves took small amounts of money, with significant damage done to the arena in Killam. Doors of all four businesses were damaged as a result of these break and enters. Video surveillance was obtained from the youth centre in Sedgewick. Attempts are being made to iden-

tify the person captured by that video footage. Investigators believe these crimes may be related. Members of the RCMP Forensic Identification Section out of Red Deer are assisting in locating any physical evidence, which may help identify the culprit. Anyone with any information on any of these crimes is urged to contact the Killam/Forestburg RCMP by phoning 780385-3509 or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

For more information, please call Bawlf School at (780) 373-3784. Orientation to take place on May 9th.

Advanced education minister Thomas Lukaszuk's budget cuts will force more than 60 employees out of work at Lakeland College campuses as multiple programs are being eliminated to satisfy the Alberta government's harsh 7.3 per-cent budget cut. The cuts will eliminate programs offered in Camrose, Lloydminster, Vermilion and Edmonton, including paramedic training, licensed practical nursing and applied business. The programs cut in Camrose offered by Lakeland College include paramedics and EMS training. Paramedic (twoyear diploma is offered primarily online with some classes in Camrose at the learning centre. Facing a deficit of almost $4 million for the 2013-14 fiscal year, substantial changes are needed to balance the budget. Following input from employees and students plus considerable review and consideration, Lakeland College’s senior executive team has presented its recommendations to the board of governors. The board approved the recommendations. The cuts will take jobs away from 35 employees represented by

the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees, in addition to 20 faculty and eight administrative staff. "Programs offered in rural Alberta are the first to be sunk by minister Lukaszuk's new Campus Alberta," said AUPE president Guy Smith. "If you want to become a nurse and you live in Lloydminster, you now have to leave your family behind, and shoulder the expenses of an education in Edmonton. It's becoming a common theme of fewer jobs and lower quality programs if you live in rural Alberta," he said. Programs cut include American sign language and deaf culture studies (part-time certificate), and sign language interpretation (16-month diploma), academic upgrading, event management (one-year certificate) and practical nurse (two-year diploma), office administration and transitional vocational. Bachelor of applied business and emergency services degree. Other cost-saving measures to be implemented in this fall include consolidating two departments and no longer operating the child development centres.

New doctor at Gemini Centre By Murray Green

The sports doctor is in the house. Dr. M. A. Tim Weighman recently opened a Gemini Sports Injury and Musculoskeletal Clinic in the Gemini Health Medical Clinic. Dr. Weighman is a family doctor who moved from the United Kingdom to Killam three years ago to set up a family practice. "My wife and I visited Canada several times and have always liked the country, and the people. My wife has worked and lived abroad before, but I never have. I thought that I'm getting to that period in my life that if I don't do it now, I'm never going to do it," he explained. "My oldest son is at university and my younger one finished high school and was in that period between high school and going to university. He was undecided as to what he wanted to do. They are both independent now and the timing was right to move. The process of moving took two years. Dr. Weighman has been to Canada six or seven times before settling in Alberta. "The first time I was the team doctor for the England “A” rugby team in 2003 in Vancouver. It was the Churchill Cup and we were trying to raise money for Canada and the United States teams. UK rugby is quite wealthy, but we wanted to help the sport here and create more competition. Canada is doing well, especially the ladies." Once he received a taste for Canada's vastness, his family came back every other year. "We like the space and the lifestyle. I wanted an English speaking country and I knew that sport is very big in Canada. The country is well known in international sports. It was a perfect fit for us," he stated. "I have eight horses and four dogs, something I didn't have space for in the UK. It keeps me busy." In 2006, the Weighman’s

Dr. Weighman

visited Banff and went to the Calgary Stampede. They were sold on Alberta. "It was a number of things really. The opportunity to own some land and have some space, the low density population and the fact that Edmonton and Calgary are listed in the top 10 cities in the world to live in. However, we wanted to be rural after coming from a city of 400,000 people. We came to visit Killam and Camrose and loved it." The doctor has Tuesdays off from his Killam practice and was asked to see some Augustana athletes. "That led to setting up in Camrose one day a week. It is an active sporting community, so it is a natural fit for me." Dr. Weighman graduated from the University of London and became a family physician 22 years ago. After nine years as a general practitioner, he wanted to specialize in something near to his heart. As a rugby player, Dr. Weighman saw first-hand the injuries in sports. "I started to get injured a lot, so I decided to retire and stay involved in sport in another way," he said. In 1999, he received his diploma in sport and exercise medicine. "I started as team Doctor to a premiership soccer team in the UK. I did that for four years. Then I moved over to international rugby." In his career to date, Dr. Weighman has been the doctor

for England Rugby’s "A" international rugby team, the Under 21 team and England Rugby’s Intermediate National Academy doctor, team physician to Lancashire County senior rugby, the Bolton Wanderers soccer team physician, a locum medical officer at the English Institute of Sport in Birmingham, and Sports City in Manchester, medical advisor to the National Sports Medicine Institute and medical officer for the Lawn Tennis Association in Bolton. Before moving to Canada, Dr. Weighman was the clinical lead for a musculoskeletal interface service for a UK Primary Care Trust from 2004–10. He was also a tutor for the British Institute of Musculoskeletal Medicine in 2009. Camrose is an active community for recreational sports. "If you look at the number of patients coming through an average family practice, 30 per cent of consultations are for musculoskeletal problems such as joint, ligament and spinal problems," the doctor reported. "It represents a big chunk of family practice. The training for musculoskeletal problems is not that extensive for family doctors, so I decided to study it further and develop my interest in helping athletes and people with those sorts of problems." Dr. Weighman feels that recreational athletes can work just as hard at their sport as professionals do, and their health is just as important to them as professional athletes. He wants to assist all athletes from all sports, whether professional, college or recreational. The sports injury and musculoskeletal clinic does accept self-referrals from patients with urgent problems. Continued on page 19

‘With acute injuries, the sooner they are assessed and the patient can commence treatment, the quicker they get better. "With non-urgent problems, I prefer a letter from the family doctor, because it gives me important information about the patient’s medical background. Most musculoskeletal problems cause pain to some degree, so it is equally important to deal with them promptly. If pain is present for 3 months or more it then becomes chronic pain, which takes a lot more sorting out. The sooner we can work with the patient to get their pain under control, the better things can be worked out. If we can’t cure or control the patient’s problem with non-operative treatment, then we move the patient on to see a surgeon for an opinion.” Musculoskeletal medicine deals with all muscle, joint and tendon problems from the head down. Dr. Weighman sees patients with spinal problems, shoulder injuries, elbow, wrist, hand, hips, knees, ankles and everything in between. All consultations are by appointment only.

GRAND CONCERT Saturday, April 20, 7:30 p.m. Charlie Killam School Gym Admission: $5/person Children age 6 and under: FREE

Augustana choir concert Submitted

The Augustana Choir, Dr. Ardelle Ries, director, and Dr. Roger Admiral, piano, warmly invite you to Scenes from Childhood – a choral concert in celebration of children and childhood – on Sunday, April 28, at 7 p.m. in the Faith and Life Chapel at Augustana. The Augustana Choir is pleased to share the stage with one of Alberta’s finest children’s choirs, The Cantilon Children’s Choir and Elaine Myhre, director. In a joyful collaboration the choirs will playfully explore the theme of children and childhood through choral repertoire based on poetry and literature written about, for, or by children with texts drawn from Alice in Wonderland, traditional children’s nursery rhymes, singing games and dances. Featured composers include Britten, Fine, Ives, Mozart, Persichetti, Rutter, and Whitacre. Renowned Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist, music educator, linguist, and philosopher, Zoltán Kodály stated: “Let us take our children seriously! Everything else follows from this. Only the best is good enough for children.” Alongside the celebration of the wonders and inspiration of children and childhood, The Augustana Choir will also celebrate the release of its live compilation CD from the 2012 choral music education study and performance tour to Hungary. The live concert recordings from the 2012 Hungarian tour document the special acoustics in which The Augustana Choir performed, from the smallest church in rural Hungary to the largest basilica in Budapest.

Busy year for Mirror Lake Express By Dan Jensen

It's shaping up to be another busy summer for the Mirror Lake Express. The train is currently scheduled for 40 events, including seven parades at which it will represent the City of Camrose and Camrose County. "We are teaming up with About Time Productions for major parades to produce a musical production on the parade routes," said Camrose Chamber of Commerce Mirror Lake Express committee member Tom Chelmick last week. "We did this last year for the Capital X Parade in Edmonton and won Best Municipal Entry over all the other towns and cities in Alberta." The Mirror Lake Express season started with a display at the Camrose Regional Trade Show in February. Future scheduled appearances include the St. Albert Rainmaker Rodeo Parade May 25 and Jaywalkers' Jamboree May 31 and June 1. The first of the bi-weekly runs on the Mirror Lake trails will be on June 4. The train will run Tuesdays and Thursdays for all of June, July and August. "The price of riding the train will increase from $2 to $2.50," said Chelmick. "The increase is to try and offset a part of the loss of the STEP grant program that the provincial government cancelled in the March budget. This program funded two university students to the Visitor Information Centre last year." While prepaid $2 tickets will be available until May 30, quantities are limited. Possible uses of prepaid tickets include gifts for children and grandchildren, birthday party favours, or end-of-year school class gifts. The tickets are good for all Tuesdays and Thursdays, Jaywalkers' Jamboree and Canada Day. McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC has donated the use of a three-quarter ton truck for the season. CRE has donated the use of a half ton truck for the season for out-oftown events. Anyone interested in volunteering with the train is encouraged to contact the Camrose Chamber at 780-672-4217.

Kidney fundraising campaign a success By Dan Jensen

Camrose and area residents and business owners were generous when canvassers showed up at their doors during the Kidney Foundation's March fund-raising campaign. "I am happy to report on another successful canvassing experience," said Camrose campaign coordinator Erhard Pinno.

"We met many friends and supporters of the Kidney Foundation." The campaign raised a total of $27,023.50, up from the $26,823.50 in the campaign of March, 2012. The average amount given by the 1,041 donors was just over $25.

Pinno expressed appreciation to the 25 canvassers, most of whom canvassed more than one route and were not discouraged by the unfavourable weather conditions. "Unfortunately," he said, "we did not have enough volunteers to canvass the entire city."

Local bantam hockey players compete for Alberta Cup trophy

FASTER INTERNET NOW COSTS LESS!

By Murray Green

Eight hockey teams representing the zones within the province will be battling for the Alberta Cup, April 25 to 28, in Strathmore. Jacob Halliday of Camrose will be patrolling the blue line for the Northeast squad. He played for the Sherwood Park Flyers of the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League this past season. NAIT Ooks coach Serge Lajoie will be mentoring the coaching staff that includes Brandon Heck of Camrose. Ashton Cookson of Killam and MacGregor Sinclair of Irma will be playing defence for the Central team. Coaching the club will be Tim Green of Camrose, who led the Camrose Vikings coaching staff. Brandon was an assistant coach under Tim this winter. Ashton played for the Vikings as well. MacGregor was a member of the Lloydminster Heat team. Camrose Minor Hockey coach and former Augustana Vikings coach Gary Snydmiller will be the coach mentor for the Edmonton South entry in the tournament. The rosters are made up of 20 athletes, three coaches, one trainer and one director of operations from each zone. "We’re extremely excited for the 2013 ATB Alberta Cup,” said program coordinator Chris Neiszner. “The zone camps were a clear indication of the depth we have in the 1998-born athletes here in Alberta. It will be a very competitive and fun week in Strathmore."

The eight zone teams will play in a four-day, tournament format competition while also taking part in an education seminar put on by the Western Hockey League (WHL). All tournament games will take place at the Strathmore Family Centre. The Alberta Cup program begins in March each year with over 800 players trying out at their respective zone camps. Each of the 160 athletes playing in the ATB Alberta Cup is competing for one of 80 invitations to the U16 Male Provincial Camp in July. The U16 Male Provincial Camp is the final stage in the first year of the Team Alberta Program. The Alberta Cup is the premier event in the province that helps identify the top male players in Alberta. It is well attended by scouts as they prepare for the WHL’s bantam draft. In addition to player evaluations, the competition is also an opportunity for administrators, coaches, trainers and officials to be evaluated for future positions with the Team Alberta Program. Former Alberta Cup graduates include such players as Braden Holtby, Mathew Dumba, Devin Setoguchi, Zach Boychuk, Kyle Brodziak, Dany Heatley, Jay Bouwmeester, Dion Phaneuf, Scott Hartnell, Jordan Eberle, Devan Dubnyk, Andrew Ference and Chris Phillips. The Team Alberta Male Program is a two-year progression for elite athletes that begins at the ATB Alberta Cup, a U15 age level event, and progresses to the U17 age level.

Sawchyn receives second machine, trip to El Salvador By Murray Green

Jim Sawchyn was granted his wish. Since visiting and helping many people in San Salvador last summer, he has wanted to return. Now he has the opportunity. The retired Camrose ultra sound technician joined the Flying Doctors of Canada and was given an ultra sound machine to use in El Salvador. This year, he received a second machine, so the team can help even more people. "It will be a different crew this time. I will be joined by doctors, professionals, dentists and university students. We will be in a different area this time," explained Jim, who is leaving July 8 and returning two weeks later. "We saw about 1,500 patients last time and it was very busy. It was also an amazing experience and I expect it to be about the same." Jim has been asked to go to Africa next year as well. "The need is very big, so I'm thinking of helping, as long as it is safe there," said Jim. The clinics are preplanned, so the patients were given information sheets and only 260 patients could see us each day. "They all lined up according to whom they were going to see and it was well organized," he added. Most of the students with Flying Doctors are from Alberta. "The founder of this group went to the University of Lethbridge, so he likes to have students from Alberta." The clinics will be adding some tasks for the medical team. "My understanding is that the doctors will be doing some minor surgeries this time," Jim added. "We received some sponsorship for surgical supplies and we will be putting them to good use. It is about $25,000 to $30,000 worth of supplies and equipment." Jim said the population is high and the water quality is poor. "The conditions in the village areas are very bad, but they are the happiest people I have every seen." The ultra sound technician received help from local people, university students and interpreters. "We had armed guards at the clinic, but we didn't see any conflicts. The children were happy to have a stick to play with. Some of the people brought soccer balls and skipping ropes and the children were all over them." Jim had to supply the gel and other supplies that were needed to operate the machine because the villages didn't have any of the items. "To go to El Salvador is about $2,600 to $2,800 with expenses, so I'm collecting bottles again. People can call me to pick them up. I have the next three months to raise the money." Phone Jim at 780-608-9696 and he will pick up the bottles.

Bessie Joan Hall

Marie Louise Lowe

Bessie Joan Hall was born at the farm in Kelsey, Alberta on September 12, 1927 and passed away on April 4, 2013 at the age of 85 years. Bessie was one of 11 children born to Herman and Myrtle Berke and, within those children, she was an identical twin to Jessie Bona Berke. She spent her younger years in the Kelsey area, until she married Maurice Hall on April 26, 1949. Maurice and Bessie lived in Lacombe, Alberta where Bessie worked at Lacombe Auction Mart, along with doing books for Central Building Movers which, at the time, was Maurice’s company. It stayed that way up until the family moved to Haney, BC in 1965. Maurice and Bessie raised their family of nine kids in the lower mainland where Bessie continued to work as a bookkeeper and, all the while, she and Maurice raised their large family. Maurice and Bessie’s retired years were spent in central Alberta. Bessie had a lot of things in life that she enjoyed, but none as great as family get-togethers, following her husband Maurice around with his music, creating quilts, and studying family history. Left to mourn is her husband of 63 years Maurice Hall; children Lawrence Hall (Marilyn), Doug Hall (Joyce), Les Hall (Gerri), Darryl Hall (Debbie), Ken Hall (Cindy), Keith Hall, Bruce Hall (Laurel), Maureen Anderson (Carl) and Wendy Adam (Dwayne); along with 21 grandchildren; and 10 greatgrandchildren. Bessie is survived by her sisters Vida, Lois, Hazel and Jessie; brother Randal; and brother in-law and wife Sim and Arlene Hall. She was predeceased by four brothers Lloyd, Howard, Bernard and Victor; and one sister Ellen. A funeral service was held on Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. from Edberg Community Hall with Don Wudel officiating. Inurnment has taken place in Edberg Lakeview Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the Louise Jensen Care Centre or the charity of one’s choice. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

Marie Louise Lowe was born in Akron, Ohio on November 22, 1925 and passed away on December 16, 2012 in Killam Health Care Centre at the age of 87 with her family at her side. She is survived by her four children Gary, Cheryle (Marvin), Marlene (Bill) and Kim (Randy); five grandchildren Susan (Darren), Jeff, Steven (Jennifer), Rachelle (Chris) and Christopher; and three great-grandchildren Britney, Neveah and Jacob. She will be sadly missed by them all. Marie was predeceased by her husband Dennis, and her mother Lenora. Though our hearts are saddened, we take comfort in knowing she is now reunited with them both. She lived in Ontario before she and her husband Dennis decided to move west in 1975 where they made Killam their home until her passing. It was both there and here that she formed lifelong friendships. She delighted in the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and treasured the time spent with them. She was a longtime member of Rose City Square Dance Club and Sedgewick Floor Curling Club and enjoyed the wonderful friendships she made among the members. Funeral services will be held on Saturday April 20, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. at Knox United Church, Killam, Alberta. Memorial donations are greatfully accepted to Alberta Cancer Foundation or the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Fee and Sons Funeral Service was in care of arrangements. The family wishes to thank Dr. Tim Hanton, the ambulance drivers and the staff of Killam Health Care Centre for the wonderful care our mother received.

Former Kodiaks' player joins coaching staff, MacMaster added as a southern scout By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks have expanded their coaching and scouting staff to prepare for next season. Tim Green has returned to the Kodiaks. He lives and works in Camrose. He owns his business, which allows him the flexibility to be part of the coaching staff. Tim played one season with the Kodiaks before moving on to a very successful major junior career and semi professional career. After coaching the past few seasons at the bantam tripleA level, he joins the Kodiaks at the junior level in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. “We are very excited to have Tim join the coaching family. He is a tremendous young man who comes from a great family background. Tim will bring knowledge and a youthful spirit to the rink on a daily basis,” said

Kodiaks' coach and general manager Boris Rybalka. Nathan MacMaster has joined the Camrose team as a southern scout. He lives in Calgary and is attending Mount Royal University where he plays for the Cougars in the CIS. Nathan had a very successful major junior career and now wants to continue to be involved in hockey through scouting. “We are very excited to have Nathan join the organization. He is a tremendous young man with a very good hockey eye and he will be a valuable asset to our scouting team,” said Boris. Nathan is the older brother of current Kodiaks' forward, Tanner MacMaster. The Camrose squad completed a successful spring camp on April 4 to 6 in the EnCana Arena. The Kodiaks' staff had a good look at some future players.

"I came on the board in December. I was born and raised in Camrose and this is my community, which I love dearly," explained Karin. "I think the community itself has so much to offer. For over 20 years I have lived on a farm just east of Camrose, so I also have a greater appreciation of the rural community. I have had the best of both worlds and know that the Foundation does great work in its entire catchment area. So, for me, it was such a right fit. I am honoured to have been asked to be a part of it because of the good work it does." Karin has her own consulting firm, so she is familiar with helping people succeed. "I have been involved with non-profit organizations for all of my work career. I know the struggles they face in terms of finances," added Karin. "I know the very good work that they do and what yet

Karin Naslund

needs to be done. There is never enough funding and so the Foundation serves to support unmet needs. For me, to be part of building the Foundation funds is a way to give back." Karin's focus is on non-profit organizations. "I provide a range of services across Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories specific to training, organizational development and strategic planning for organizations, so I still maintain connections with this sector. Prior to that, I worked in Camrose initially, as a family services coordinator with Camrose and District Support Services. Then I was the executive director of the Camrose Association For Community Living for 15 years. Through those programs I have worked with many groups in supporting them and the community to get their needs met." As a mother, Karin has also been involved with many youth

projects. "I am a member of the school council and have been for about three years in the Bawlf area," added Karin. "I enjoy the work the council has been doing and I like being back in the community because my work has taken me away from it." The CAFCL was one of the first recipients of a BRCF grant. "Even back then, I saw the BRCF as a way to bring the community together to draw funds. Prior to that I had worked and gained knowledge on the project for the CAFCL building. We had to raise $2 million and the community stepped up. It is amazing that the volunteers in this community do so much. I was just blown away. The Foundation evolved shortly after that, or at the same time it was happening and I saw it as a natural connection moving forward." The BRCF is comprised of the leaders within the area. "The people that began the BRCF, in my mind, the historians and backbones of this community, are very committed to its sustainability," Karin said. "Even in my short time with the Foundation, I absolutely admire the ethics and values that are brought forward through the Foundation. Its activities, how it goes about doing things, what it stands for, is everything that I feel very strongly about." Karin added that the board is so functionable because of the diversity of the people on the board. "I know that I'm going to learn a lot from the experience and I hope that I can contribute as well and meet their expectations," said Karin. "Knowing that you can make a difference in the time we are here is important to me. I know the struggles that people go through and it is rewarding to help people. I want to encourage others to give back to the community and help those who are less fortunate." BRCF board chairman Blain Fowler said "In the first three months that Karin has been on the board, we have benefitted from her enthusiasm for our mission, her "can-do" attitude and her understanding of the needs and workings of the variety of non-profit organizations that the foundation exists to serve. She has brought a fresh new perspective to the table and we are looking forward to working with her for the benefit of the Battle River community." Since its founding in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1.7 million to various worthwhile projects and initiatives throughout the geographic area it serves. For more information about the Battle River Community Foundation or to create an endowment fund, visit the website at www.brcf.ca or phone the BRCF office at 780679-0449.

Surface rights calls special meeting By Murray Green

The Alberta Surface Rights Federation has called a special meeting to discuss Bill 2 further in Camrose. Due to an overwhelming response against Bill 2, the organization has brought in two guest speakers to help members understand the fact that the landowners are losing rights on their own land.

Land agent and Alberta Surface Rights Federation member Daryl Bennett will be making a presentation on Bill 2 and the regulations that go along with it. Wade Clark from the Alberta department of energy will speak on how the Bill was put together and what it means for landowners in the province.

Jeep Grand Cherokee The industry's most highly acclaimed SUV By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee at Camrose Chrysler completely redefines the premium SUV, delivering an unprecedented combination of best-in-class fuel economy and driving range, available cleandiesel technology, a choice of leading powertrain options, legendary benchmark capability, world-class craftsmanship, premium on-road driving dynamics, and a host of advanced user-friendly technology and safety features. "The industry's most highly acclaimed SUV has been elevated to an even higher level," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier. "Our customers will clearly find the new Jeep Grand Cherokee to be even more of a pleasure to drive – on any and all roads, on the most demanding trails, and in all weather conditions. Jeep Grand Cherokee's 3.0 litre EcoDiesel V-6 engine produces 240 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque while using just 11.2 litres per 100 km in the city and just 7.84 litres per 100 km on the highway. The engine's block and bed plate is crafted from strong compacted graphite iron, which contributes to stiffness without penalizing performance. Grand Cherokee's standard 3.6 litre Pentastar V-6 uses just 9.41 litres per 100 km on the highway, a nine per cent jump from the previous model year. The engine generates 291 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Structural, intake and exhaust areas are designed to deliver low levels of overall noise and achieve specific sound quality goals that meet discerning customer requirements. The 5.7 litre V-8 produces 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque, and boasts a towing capacity of 7,400 lbs. VVT technology improves fuel economy in two ways: first it reduces the engine's pumping work by closing the intake valve later. Second, it increases the expansion process of the combustion event. This allows more work to be transferred to the crankshaft instead of being rejected out of the exhaust port as heat. VVT improves engine breathing, which further improves engine efficiency and power. The 5.7-litre engine's Fuel Saver Technology with cylinder de-activation seamlessly alternates between smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode when less power is needed, and V-8 mode when more power is in demand. All three Jeep Grand Cherokee engines are now attached to Chrysler Group's new eight-speed automatic transmission, which provides better fuel economy, quicker acceleration and smoother shifting. Fully electronic, the eight-speed automatic features on-the-fly shift map changing, with manual shifting capability and Electronic Range Select using steering-wheel paddle controls. More than 40 individual shift maps for specific conditions optimize shift quality and shift points for fuel economy, performance and drivability. The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee features three available 4x4 systems. Quadra-Trac I delivers full-time four-wheel drive without any switches or levers to pull. The system provides smooth operation of the vehicle over a variety of road conditions. This light-weight singlespeed case is both proven and efficient for enhanced fuel economy. Quadrac-Trac II's two-speed transfer case uses input from a variety of sensors to determine tire slip at the earliest possible moment and takes correc-

tive action. The system also uses throttle anticipate to sense quick movement in the throttle from a stop and maximizes traction before tire slippage occurs. When wheel slippage is detected, as much as 100 per cent of available torque is instantly routed to the axle with the most traction. Quadra-Drive II with a rear Electronic Limited-slip Differential (ELSD) delivers industry-leading tractive capability. The system instantly detects tire slip and smoothly distributes engine torque to tires with traction. In some cases, the vehicle will anticipate low traction and adjust in order to proactively limit or eliminate slip. The Jeep Grand Cherokee rises above the road and rocks with the rugged Quadra-Lift air suspension system. The Quadra-Lift system features five height settings for optimum ride performance. Grand Cherokee's class-leading Selec-Terrain traction control system allows customers to choose the onand off-road settings for optimum performance. This feature electronically coordinates up to 12 different powertrain, braking and suspension systems, including throttle control, transmission shift, transfer case, Hilldescent Control, and Selec-Speed Control. All 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokees equipped with the Off-road groups are Trail Rated. The Jeep Trail Rated badge indicates that the vehicle is designed to perform

in a variety of challenging road conditions identified by five key consumer-oriented performance categories: traction, ground clearance, maneuverability, articulation and water fording. Jeep Grand Cherokee's 114.8 inch wheelbase creates generous interior room and gives passengers expansive rear-seat knee and leg room, and large front door openings and rear doors open John Wigston 78 degrees for better access Camrose Chrysler to the interior. Inside, premium seating includes room for five passengers. A standard fold-flat rear passenger seat provides improved cargo storage room. For added passenger comfort, rear seats recline 12 degrees. Cargo volume behind the second row measures 36.3 cubic feet and includes a storage unit with a rechargeable flashlight and grocery hooks on both sides. The spare tire compartment includes removable dual storage bins for secure storage of muddy gear or other items. From the driver's seat, everything the driver sees, touches – and even speaks to using voice commands – is enhanced to increase function, connectivity and responsiveness. Not only does it work better, it looks better packaged in more premium materials and elegant graphics. This includes a redesigned steering wheel that is optimized for driver position while also providing control buttons for frequently-used features such as radio, cruise control, phone and voice-activated commands. Another significant interior change for Grand Cherokee is the availability of the new Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen. Connectivity and touchscreens involve rapidly changing technology and ever-increasing consumer expectations – both of which have a significant impact on the overall quality assessment of new vehicles. You can see the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee by visiting Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 East, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2476 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

The Prairie Central Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) Association is giving would-be movie makers the chance to show what they can do. The association is seeking 30 to 60-second video clips from videographers 12 years of age and over as part of a contest it has launched to enhance the understanding and acceptance of individuals, families and communities that have experienced the impact of FASD. "A major intention of the project is to enhance for those who see the videos the understanding that everyone – doctors, parents, community members and friends – has a role to play in FASD," said Prairie Central FASD Association coordinator Stacy Wolbeck. Submissions may include information on FASD and what can be done in schools or the community to create empathy for those with FASD, as well as different points of view from a positive supportive perspective. Acceptable themes are the fact that FASD is a lifelong disability and that people with FASD are important and valuable members of our community. "The videos don't have to be professionally done," said Wolbeck. "They can be made by a phone or a camera." The contest may be entered simply by posting the video on the Prairie Central FASD Facebook page, then by emailing a completed and signed entry form to cdss9@telus.net (subject line FASD Awareness Video Contest). Forms sent by regular mail should be addressed to FASD Awareness Video Contest, #3, Community Centre, 4516-54 Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 4W7. The deadline for submitting a video is May 17. First prize is $500, while second and third prizes are $250 and $100 respectively." "The winning video will be determined not only by our judges' scores but by the number of likes it has on Facebook," said Wolbeck. The top videos will be announced on June 3 on the Prairie Central FASD Association Facebook page. "We plan to use the videos on the Prairie Central FASD Association website, as well as in presentations on FASD Day, which is Sept. 9," said Wolbeck. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is an umbrella term used to describe a range of physical and developmental disabilities caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol. An estimated 23,000 people, in Alberta, are living with FASD. The Prairie Central FASD Association is part of the Government of Alberta’s FASD 10-year Strategic Plan. "We are one of 12 networks across the province of Alberta who work in the areas of awareness and prevention, assessment and diagnoses, supports for individuals and caregivers, training and education and community engagement," said Wolbeck. The prevention of FASD is done mainly through a Parent Child Assistance Program (PCAP), facilitated by Camrose and District Support Services. PCAP is a home visitation intervention program that works with women who abuse alcohol or drugs during pregnancy. PCAP supports mothers in the prevention of future alcohol and drug exposed births. The mission of the Prairie Central FASD Association is to ensure services are available to those affected by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

Camrose Academy of Dance has impressive showing By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Academy of Dance had a good showing at the recently completed Showtime Dance Production Festival/Competition in Fort Saskatchewan. Overall results included 128 high gold, 31 gold, 15 high silvers, 15 first places, 18 second places, nine third places. The total number of awards received for choreography was 12. "We were pretty pleased with the results considering it was our first competition of the year and we were one of 21 studios that were involved," said

Camrose Academy of Dance artistic director Lisa Rootsaert. "Our staff are pretty proud of everyone who performed." The biggest highlight came at the very end, when the academy's East Heat, an extra large variety group comprised of 44 dancers between the ages of seven and 17, received the Crystal Challenge award for being the best of the festival's 800 entries. East Heat, choreographed by Rootsaert, was one of 14 groups that were eligible to compete for the Crystal Challenge after earning marks of 90 per cent or higher. Other Camrose Academy

of Dance group finalists were Savoir Faire, an intermediate tap group, choreographed by Trudy Lewis, The Call, a senior lyrical group choreographed by Rootsaert, Spanish Suite, an intermedia character ballet group choreographed by Rootsaert, and Follies Bergere, a senior character ballet group choreographed by Rootsaert. "The fact that five of the 14 groups going for the big award at the end were from our academy was a huge accomplishment," explained Rootsaert. "Some studios didn't have any groups get as far as the finals."

The Crystal Challenge award was accompanied by a cheque for $500. "We just won it so we haven't decided yet what we are going to do with it," said Rootsaert. "Normally what we do is split it among the kids or have a barbecue." Camrose Academy of Dance dancers have been working diligently since practices got underway at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre last September. "The studio is open basically three days a week, and we have more than 250 students," said Rootsaert. "Some attend

all three days, some attend two days and some attend one." The Camrose Academy of Dance has three more competitions scheduled before the year end show, which will be held at Leduc on the final Sunday in May. "We don't have any competitions in Camrose because there isn't a stage that is large enough here to hold 44 of our dancers at a time," said Rootsaert. "We are hoping that changes when the performing arts centre opens." Anyone who is interested in joining the Camrose Academy of Dance next year is encouraged to call 780-672-8535.

Beware of potholes on city streets and the damage they can do to your vehicle. Rim bending, suspension flattening and tire damaging potholes await the unwary driver this spring after the long winter. If you are hitting the highway or urban streets after this spring thaw, there is a very good chance that your vehicle will strike a serious pothole, cautions Fountain Tire. Defensive driving remains the best way to avoid costly front-end damage to suspension systems, rims and tires that can result from hitting a deep pothole. Here are some common sense tips from Fountain Tire for motorists who want to avoid or minimize the perils posed by potholes this spring thaw. Firstly, slow down. Hitting a pothole at higher speeds increases the potential for damage and loss of control of your vehicle. Don't tailgate, and look ahead. Watch for potholes by leaving plenty of space between your vehicle and the one in front of you. This provides more time to steer around the road cavity safely. Before avoiding a pothole always check that the way is clear. Ensure your tires are inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. An under-inflated tire provides less cushion against a jarring impact and increases the chances of wheel, tire and suspension system damage. (The recommended air pressure is listed in your vehicle manual and on your vehicle placard, which is commonly located on one of the inside door posts, or inside the glove compartment or fuel door.) Watch for pools of water in the roadway and, when possible, avoid driving through them. An innocent-looking puddle can disguise a deep and dangerous pothole. Driving through a pool of water at speed can also cause hydroplaning. If you see a pothole, brake well in advance. Do not brake when striking a pothole. Braking shifts weight to the front end, causing a harder, more jarring impact. Also, grip the steering wheel tightly. Hard impacts can jolt the steering wheel out of your hands and cause loss of control. Potholes form when snow and ice melt into cracks in the asphalt and then freeze, expanding in the cracks. Meanwhile, the frost in the ground pushes up, weakening the asphalt. This then causes

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.

Report on the Legislature Human Resources Assistant Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River - Wainwright Premier takes Alberta’s energy interests directly to Americans

Alberta Premier Alison Redford used her mission to Washington, D.C., to emphasize the province’s record on responsible energy development. The Premier highlighted Alberta’s commitment to strong environmental policy, clean technology development, a healthy energy sector, economic growth and plentiful job opportunities for Canadians and Americans. The Premier made her fourth visit to the U.S. capital in the past 18 months in order to talk directly to Americans and decision makers about the importance of the Alberta-U.S. trading partnership. She focused on how projects such as the Keystone XL pipeline are of pivotal importance to the future of North American energy security and independence. She was joined April 8-10 by Cal Dallas, Minister of International and Intergovernmental Relations, and Diana McQueen, Minister of Environment and Sustainable Resource Development. As the MLA for Battle River - Wainwright, I am always available to assist constituents. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Premier’s mission to Washington, Alberta’s environmental initiatives, The Royal Tyrrell Museum, flood preparedness or any other matter, I can be reached in my constituency office at 780-842-6177.

Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot Remembering Our Political Leaders

In my travels throughout the Easter break in our riding, we were all nostalgic and reflective following the news that Ralph Klein had passed away. His legacy will be with us for a long time to come. We first knew Ralph as a friendly and savvy media hound. He went on to become mayor of Calgary, a provincial cabinet minister, and ultimately, our Premier. He became a household name across Canada and last November, the Governor General of Canada installed Ralph as an Officer of the Order of Canada. Calgary’s Light Rail Transit System, the Saddledome, and the 1988 Olympics, for example, will always remind us of Ralph. As a politician myself, I have often contemplated, as we all do from time to time, what the great political leaders of our day and the past would say about current events as they unfold. It can be very helpful to consider their perspectives based on their experiences. Ralph Klein was always honest and straight forward. He kept everything simple – he said what he would do – and then he would do what he said. You could count on Ralph. Just as we started getting used to the passing of our former Premier, we learned of the passing of another political icon of a bygone era, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. In her day, she spoke with all the power of the Western World. Her leadership extended far beyond the borders of Britain. She was a key ally on the world stage along with the late U.S. President Ronald Reagan, and Pope John Paul II. She was one of history’s great conservatives. She came to be known as ‘The Iron Lady’. She implemented successful economic policies. Working with many of the world’s leaders, she became one of the strongest contributors to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the demise of communism. Prime Minister Stephen Harper in his statement following the news of her death said, “New to my own duties as Prime Minister in 2006, she provided me wise and gracious counsel in London, the memory of which I will forever cherish.” I hope that the younger generation learn of the imprint on our lives that such great leaders have made. It is up to us to make sure that our children and our grandchildren know about these people and why they were so important. We could say that the decisions of Baroness Thatcher and ‘King’ Ralph brought us to the place from which our generation started. While this is true from a generation to generation perspective, some of our past leaders have remarkable stories that continue to need to be shared. Our future great leaders should be encouraged and inspired by the examples of the great leaders that have ruled before them.

The dinner and concert will be held on April 19 beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Tap Room in the Norsemen Inn. All proceeds go to the local KidSport program. “To date we have seen tremendous community support behind KidSport. We have issued funding to numerous families in our community to help their children get off the sidelines and into the game. It feels really great every time we get an application, as we know we are helping benefit a child," said Dean Threinen, one of the organizers of the event. "KidSport Camrose is very thankful to our two sponsors of the event, Battle River Credit Union and The Norsemen Inn (The Tap Room). Without these community sponsors, this event would not be possible.” The chapter has already helped with ball and soccer registrations this spring. KidSport also wants to help children participate in triathlon and swimming this summer. The Dueling Ivories consists of Erik Williams and Lesley Pelletier singing and playing on the piano. They play the top 40 hits of today, classic rock, rhythm and blues and country music. A steak sandwich will be served at 6 p.m. and the entertainment will follow. Only a limited number of the 300 tickets are still remaining and a sellout is expected.

By Murray Green

Randy Elvis Friskie doesn't get tired of paying tribute to the king of rock and roll. Friskie and his Las Vegas show band will be performing a tribute to Elvis Presley at the Bailey Theatre, beginning at 7:30 p.m. on April 19. "I'm really excited to play in Camrose because I still have some close friends there. I grew up in the Edmonton area, but I have some very dedicated fans in Camrose," said Randy. "I'm looking forward to playing in the old Bailey and the acoustics should be good there."

Randy "Elvis"Friskie

This is the 40th anniversary of Elvis' Aloha Tour. Randy not only pays tribute to Elvis, but brings his music live to a new generation of music fans. 'We always try to put on a classy show, but this tour is something else. We have a 10- to 12-piece band, depending on the location, and it is a full sound with amazing horns. We are a team. People ask me why would I put on a show like that for 100 people. My response is that maybe they are people that haven't heard the show before – or Elvis. I want to perform the best I can every night and make it special for everyone, regardless of how many people there are," stated Randy. "They don't deserve a lesser show. We want an Elvis experience. His best performances were when he was on the stage with a live show. We give everything we've got to make it special. Elvis played like everyone was his best friend and that is what we try and do." Bill Burke, Elvis Presley's former publicist, said Randy brought tears to his eyes because his show is just like his old friend's performance. "I am a musician first. To be able to pay tribute to the best performer ever is something pretty cool. It comes naturally. The energy is high because everyone in the audiences knows the words to every song."

1-866-672-3566 www.opasouvlaki.ca Randy has mastered Elvis in three stages of his career, the fabulous '50s, the spectacular '60s, and the sensational '70s. "Now it's so great because you can introduce the great music to new generations of music fans. I heard Elvis in concert and my daughter heard Cher in concert and here we are paying tribute to them and sharing their music with others. It is a good feeling. We are here for the people. At one concert on the island (Vancouver Island) this lady was celebrating her 99th birthday. She was singing along, and it must have been her grandson, he was 13 with green and purple hair. He came to us and said you guys really rock and it was cool to introduce the old music again." Cassandra Friskie, Randy's 22-year-old daughter, sings to the “Ladies of Country” and is well known in her own right for her Cher-like

performances and opening for the Beach Boys. She represents the third generation of Friskie entertainers. By the time she was three, she had an impressive repertoire of songs, which she never hesitated to perform. "Nine years ago she was on stage doing a tribute to Cher. I had the pleasure of performing both with my dad and daughter. Now my dad is gone, so that was something special," he added. Randy said his favourite song to perform is "Suspicious Minds" because it is up and down and full of energy." People who are attending the show for special occasions, can request a song, or have a picture taken after the show that will be available on the web site for no charge. Visit www.randyelvisfriskie.com for more information. Tickets, $39.50, are on sale at the Bailey Box Office, or by calling 780-672-5510.

ATCO gas donates to Jack Stuart School

ATCO Gas has donated $2,500 to Camrose's Jack Stuart School to assist with the construction of a new school playground that offers safer and more interactive play experiences for local children. "The new playground complex will contribute to healthier lifestyles and provide a safe and exciting play area for local children and youth," said Bill Stephens, president of ATCO Gas. "We recognize that our business goes beyond the safe, reliable delivery of natural gas, which is why ATCO is committed to improving the safety and health of communities across Alberta." Jack Stuart School parent council chair Tracey Woods expressed appreciation to ATCO Gas for the donation, which she said will help ensure that new, safe, recreational equipment is available for Jack Stuart School's growing student population.

"Our older playground was removed this past summer because, after years of extensive use by local children, it was no longer up to safety standards," said Wood. As an Alberta-based, province-wide natural gas distribution company, ATCO Gas serves more than 1.1 million customers in nearly 300 Alberta communities, and is part of the ATCO Group of companies. ATCO Group, with more than 9,400 employees and assets of approximately $14 billion, delivers service excellence and innovative business solutions worldwide with leading companies engaged in structures and logistics (manufacturing, logistics and noise abatement), utilities (natural gas and electricity transmission and distribution) energy (power generation, natural gas gathering, processing, storage and liquids extraction), and technologies (business systems solutions).

mother was killed in a drunk driving accident a few years ago. "I would like to try to avoid that pain on any future families," she said. As a new community leader, Mannen will focus much of her initial efforts around public awareness and education initiatives and building partnerships with stakeholder and community organizations with similar goals of ending impaired driving. Thousands of Canadians are killed or injured every year as a result of impaired driving crashes. "These deaths and injuries are completely preventable," said Mannen. "They can all be avoided if people do not get behind the wheels of their vehicles impaired. I want to be part of the solution and I am confident that community will be supportive of the effort to stop these senseless tragedies from occurring on our roads and in our community." With volunteer-driven groups in more than 100 communities across Canada, MADD Canada aims to offer support services to victims, heighten awareness of the dangers of impaired driving, and save lives and prevent injuries on our roads.
