DJ (Daniel) Ilg knows his prices. He won more than $44,500 in prizes on the popular game show The Price is Right.

Canadian Brewhouse owner DJ was the second contestant to hear his name called on the game show that was aired on June 5. Many of his friends and family members gathered at the Camrose restaurant to watch the show that was taped when he was on holidays in California on May 21. It was his birthday the same week.

"It was hard not to say anything for a few weeks," said DJ. "If we said anything, the prizes would have been forfeited."

DJ went to Los Angeles with his wife Lana, and his business partner Luke Norrie. "We had to be there at the studio at 8:30 a.m. and we almost missed it because of the rush hour traffic," said an excited DJ. "We arrived at the gates at 8:27 a.m. and we were three minutes away from this not happening."

Being a contestant is not a random act of kindness. "They have cameras everywhere and it is an interview process to see who would be good on camera.

We tried to be lively and fun because we knew we were being watched," said DJ. The producer and his assistant interviewed the Camrose residents in about 30 seconds. “I was going to say I worked in a restaurant bar, but I started trying to think of something clever and came up with alcohol distribution engineer. It only took him a couple seconds and he said, ‘so you’re a bartender,’” laughed DJ.

An excited DJ Ilg watches himself on television and was thrilled to win a brand new Chevrolet Camaro on The Price is Right.

He said that was very clever. That answer must have impressed the producers, because his name was soon called.

DJ was warned that it will be so loud, that you won't hear your name called. "We were told to watch for your name on a big white name card," said DJ. “The second card said Daniel Ila. I've

always gone by DJ and I wasn't sure at first. My wife Lana starts hitting me and saying that is you, they spelled it wrong. I’m jumping up and running up there and from there it’s almost a blur, because I was so excited and nervous,” he said. "My heart was going a mile a minute."

Ground broken for Performing Arts Centre

Breaking ground for the future Camrose Performing Arts Centre were: (left to right) Norm and James Mayer, Camrose County Reeve Don Gregorwich, Camrose Arts Society president Theo Thirsk, University of Alberta provost and vice President Academic Dr. Carl Amrhein, Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger, City councillors Daryl Shillington and John Howard, Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson, Minister of Enterprise and Advanced Education Steven Kahn, and Joyce and Greg Christenson.

By Dan Jensen

Officials from the City of Camrose, University of Alberta, University of Alberta Augustana Faculty, Government of Alberta, Camrose County and Camrose Arts Society joined community-minded individuals in breaking ground for the future Camrose Performing Arts Centre on Augustana Campus June 7.

The act was a long time coming for everyone who has had anything to do with the project.

"Since my first day here I have dreamed of this day, but many citizens in Camrose have dreamed about this project for much longer, in fact several years or more," said Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger, who emceed a pre-groundbreaking program.

"That we are finally here with a building ready to start is a testament to the vision, the determination, the goodwill and the generosity of several partners."

Mayor Marshall Chalmers called the day a great one for the City of Camrose, the region and the community at large.

"The performing arts centre has been discussed for several years," he said, "and the hard work of many has now led us to this tremendous day of celebration."

Mayor Chalmers expressed appreciation to the City's partners on the project, including the Province of Alberta, the University of Alberta and Camrose County.

"The reality of the situation is that no one party could have pulled this off on its own," he said. "But four partners, and we hope five if the federal government can come on board, can and have achieved this very important community goal."

Mayor Chalmers said the performing arts facility will be a gem in the lives of generations and fulfills a significant cultural need in the region.

"The performing arts centre will be a tremendous opportunity for the talented local artists who have developed their skills here to showcase themselves right here – in their own community, amongst their own community supporters. The scope of the facility will provide for our region to enjoy superior entertainment.

The scale of this facility will keep our community competitive amongst similar sized centres, allow for enhanced local productions, touring entertainment, and will become a beacon for visiting talents of all kinds. This centre will be another asset to our city's great quality of life, and certainly another compelling reason to visit or move to Camrose."

Reeve Don Gregorwich said the groundbreaking represents the start of an exciting new venue in Camrose.

"We feel this will be a remarkable facility which will be used for generations by people of all ages, and we feel that our financial commitment is our way of showing our belief that the arts and culture are an

important and integral part of a healthy and vibrant community."

University of Alberta provost and vice president, academic, Dr. Carl Amrhein, said the Camrose performing arts centre symbolizes a strong partnership among the government, the community and the university.

"Pooling our collective resources, energy and talents, the Alberta Government, the City of Camrose, Camrose County and Augustana Campus have shown what can be accomplished when neighbours come together for a project such as this. Today we honour a collaborative partnership that will foster this beautiful facility, ensuring ongoing community access and mutual benefits for everyone who enters it."

Dr. Amrhein said the University of Alberta is proud to know that the Augustana Campus is held dear by its many friends and neighbours.

"The University of Alberta's pride in Augustana Campus runs very deep. We certainly consider it to be one of the prominent jewels in our family crown. The new facility, with its

devotion to celebrating arts and culture, reflects the commitment, and indeed the promise that the University has made to society, to the uplifting of all Albertans, indeed all people from everywhere. The performing arts centre makes stronger an already strong academic foundation for our many gifted students and faculty at the Augustana campus. They will benefit from the creative spaces within this facility, allowing them to hone their talents and spread their wings as artists and performers."

Minister of Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Verlyn Olson said he is impressed with the number of government ministries – tourism, infrastructure, culture and municipal affairs – that have been part of the performing arts centre project.

"This is proof positive that we can accomplish many things when we work together."

Minister Olson said the building that will emerge from the ground will be one in which everyone will be able to take pride.

Minister of Enterprise and Advanced Education Steven Kahn said that in addition to meeting the needs of the local university and touring performing arts communities, the centre will play an important role in attracting new students to the campus.

He added that the arts contribute to the health of society.

"There is a link between arts and overall quality of life, with the arts adding significant social and economic benefits to the region and the community."

Minister Kahn commended Augustana for its innovative approaches to meeting the needs of students.

"The Camrose performing arts centre is not the only example. Your new programming – a combined bachelor of science bachelor of education degree – provides rural placement for student practicum. Your vision and support of government interest in enhancing access to lifelong learning opportunities for rural learners by providing a centre of innovation research and a service for rural areas."

Arts Centre fundraising off to good start

By Dan Jensen

The campaign to raise $5 million for the Camrose performing arts centre is off to a great start.

Augustana Campus dean Dr. Allen Berger announced at the performing arts centre groundbreaking June 7 that, thanks to a number of gifts and the extraordinary generosity of the Mayer and Christenson families, the amount raised for the facility is already getting close to $1 million.

The Mayers have been philanthropic leaders in the community since they arrived here from Manitoba in 1963.

In 2011 Norm Mayer and his

wife, Betty, were recognized with the Community Builders award by the Battle River Community Foundation.

The Christenson family has deep ties to Camrose, going back to Andrew Christenson, an early settler. Lloyd Christenson was involved in numerous construction projects in town, including the relocation of Founders' Hall, and work on the University's science classroom building. Joyce, Lloyd's wife, served as an Augustana board member at the time of the Augustana merger with the University of Alberta.

The Mayers are strong believers in the benefits Augustana and the performing arts

centre will bring to the community.

"The donation we are making is just trying to continue in that vein," said Norm. "James (Mayer) is going to work for the next 50 years now to try and pay it (the commitment) off."

Norm was one of the major players in the merger of Augustana and the University of Alberta when he was mayor of Camrose.

"I pushed that as hard as I could when I was mayor because I have always been a firm believer that a small university like Augustana is important to rural students. They can get comfortable with the smaller atmosphere that is here then move on to the

bigger surroundings of the university in Edmonton or Calgary or wherever."

The Mayers were major supporters of the multi-use facility at Rudy Swanson Park.

"We have for years supported sports and recreation, but there has never been a major facility for the arts and culture," said Norm.

James Mayer said he is proud to be part of the performing arts centre, which he feels will fill a big need in the community.

"You hear from the young people about not having the facilities available, and if the facilities are not there they won't be sticking around."

Fund-raising off to good start Continued from page 4

James expressed on behalf of other family members how proud he is of Norm and Betty for their unselfish willingness to give back to the community.

"They give of their time, talent and treasure to make Camrose a better community," he said.

"That is not something that happens by accident."

Greg Christenson said Christenson Developments, of which he is owner, and the Christenson family are always looking for ways to contribute to Augustana and Camrose.

"We have been involved with institutions like Norquest and MacEwan and other schools in Edmonton, but Camrose is very close to our family heart, not just

on the Christenson side but on the Nelson side. My aunt, Doris, is a prominent citizen here, and we have had the pleasure to build here in more recent years. We enjoy Camrose and we think it is a great community. We think the performing arts centre is a great initiative between the City of Camrose and the University of Alberta."

The Christenson's have had discussions with the University regarding the naming of the foyer leading to the performing arts centre's main auditorium.

"We want to set something up that will help tell the story of my grandparents on the Christenson side and the Nelson side, as well as Luther League, the Lutheran church institution

where young people met and fell in love," said Greg. "We want it to be sort of prototypical of the community and the families that have moved here, regardless of their ethnic or religious background."

Mayor Marshall Chalmers said the performing arts centre project and partnerships is exactly what the City of Camrose is all about: generous people working together for the good of the community.

"I would like to offer my sincere appreciation, on behalf of City council and all Camrosians, to the incredible donors who have come forward in support of the project – not only with their dollars but also with their exceptional community spirit."

Dear Families of the

Melville Cemetery The Melville Cemetery is run by a group of local volunteers who care for the cemetery including all of the upkeep and maintenance. Thanks to this strong group of volunteers and donations from our community, in the past two years we have been able to replace the front fence, our maintenance shed and upgrade our sign. However, as in many rural areas, we find that our group of volunteers continues to get smaller as time goes on. To assist with maintenance we have undertaken a project to remove the fiberglass and cement grave coverings over the grave sites. Many of these coverings have deteriorated over the years and are in need of repair or removal. They also make maintenance of the grass in the cemetery much more difficult and time consuming. We would like to contact as many families as possible to notify them that we are looking at removing these covers and, where needed, replacing the name plates. We would also like everyone to know that in the future Melville Cemetery will not be allowing grave coverings of any kind in the cemetery. Many of our loved ones are buried in the cemetery and our main source of income to cover the costs of ongoing maintenance and improvements is through donations.

We would like to thank those of you who have donated to us in the past. If you have loved ones in the cemetery, please consider a donation to the Melville Cemetery Fund this year; we do issue income tax receipts for all donations over $10.

We thank you for being part of the Melville Cemetery family and please pass this information on to other family members who you think may be interested or who we may have missed.

Sincerely, The Melville Cemetery

Donations may be sent to: The Melville Cemetery Fund Box 23 Kelsey, Alberta T0B 2K0

At the Annual Meeting on April 4th, it was decided to notify families that grave covers will not be allowed to be installed in the future.

Rotary offers opportunity for additional vocational exposure

By Donna Phillips

The Rotary Club of Camrose is offering an unforgettable international experience to a young Camrose professional or businessperson.

The club is seeking to identify a participant for Rotary International’s Group Study Exchange program (GSE). Open to businesspeople or professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 years who are in the early stages of their career, the GSE program provides travel grants for teams to visit with and observe those working in their vocational area in another country.

The club is presently seeking applicants interested in visiting New Zealand in April 2013.

Team members can come from almost any field including large corporations, small businesses,

community and non-profit organizations, medical and educational facilities, or government offices.

GSE teams are composed of four to six young professionals accompanied by a Rotarian team leader. The team’s preparation for their tour may include language training, practice in public speaking, gaining knowledge about Rotary as well as their host country.

During their month-long visit, participants are billeted with Rotarians and experience the host country’s culture and institutions, observe how their vocations are practiced abroad, exchange ideas and develop long lasting personal and professional relationships.

Rotary provides team members with return transportation to the host country, and meals, lodging, transporta-

tion in the host country during the exchange. Individuals are expected to pay for personal and incidental expenses including health insurance, souvenirs and gifts for host families.

Individuals who participate in this once-in-a-lifetime experience will return to Canada with a broadened cultural perspective and an understanding of how their vocation is conducted in another country. GSE also offers opportunities to develop leadership and team building skills, and increase self confidence.

As one participant says, “Vocationally I gained a better focus and direction in my job. I am more willing and ready to take up challenges, including giving public lectures. I have returned with a strengthened feeling of self-worth and confidence.”

Benefits to employers include employees with new skills in communication, facilitation and problem solving and increased tolerance for and ability to collaborate with professionals of other cultures.

The Rotary Club of Camrose has sponsored several GSE participants in the past, most recently sending Jane Odegard Beck to Norway and Amanda Kuttnick-Dyer to England.

The club has also hosted several inbound GSE groups from countries such as Australia, Belize, England, Indonesia and Brazil.

The Rotary Club of Camrose is now accepting applications for the 2013 GSE to New Zealand, with a deadline of June 30 for submission of the application. The Club’s nominee will be identified

during July and the nomination will be forwarded to the Rotary District 5370 committee for confirmation in early August. More information and an application form are available on the club’s website at www.camroserotary. ca or by contacting Kim Boyco at 780-672-2370.

Rotary is an international association of business and professional leaders who provide humanitarian service, promote high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. With over 1.2 million members in over 32,000 clubs in nearly 170 countries, Rotary initiates community projects that focus on serious issues facing people around the world: poverty, conflict resolution, health, hunger, illiteracy and the eradication of polio.

PEN POINTS

by Berdie Fowler

Be aware of senior adult abuse!

Friday, June 15, is Adult Abuse Awareness Day. We are told that abuse of senior adults is far more prevalent than we are aware. That might be explained by the fact that abuse is not always obvious, or because the public is not clear on the definition of abuse. The offense is often unsuspected and undetected because the perpetrators might be those who are in positions of power, trust and responsibility. The abuse is most destructive when abusers are family members – spouses, children or caregivers. Victims could be men or women from any socio-economic or cultural background.

Abuse of older adults is defined as any action or inaction, by self or others, that jeopardizes the health or well-being of an older person.

Financial abuses include such items as frauds, scams, misuse of money or property, stealing money or property, misusing joint bank accounts, forging signatures on pension cheques, misusing a power of attorney, and the like.

Examples of psychological and emotional abuses include withholding affection from an elderly adult, or restricting association with others, or by treating a senior adult like a child by talking down to him or her, or on his or her behalf when he or she is capable of speaking for him or her self. Be aware that physically frail bodies may hold minds that are still very sharp.

Other kinds of abuses include: physical, like slapping, or using unnecessary physical restraints, overdosing of prescribed medications. Add legal, spiritual and cultural abuses as well as neglect (whether intentional or unintentional), and desertion by those who should be responsible. Finally, add to the list: self abuse – by elderly persons legally considered to be physically and mentally capable of coping and making decisions.

With such a wide range of abuses it follows that numerous segments of the community need to be involved in prevention of adult abuse. Family members are the first in the line of responsibility – but sometimes they are the perpetrators, not the watchdogs. Service providers are in a good position to become aware of abuse and to play an essential role in prevention. Professional counsellors trained to deal with dysfunctional families can improve communication within the family and help develop problem-solving skills.

One of the most effective ways to prevent abuse and neglect is to avoid social isolation. This can be accomplished by friendly and observant visitors, services such as Meals On Wheels, and home care support. Increased activities outside one’s home are also helpful such as jaunts to the local library, community centres and special events.

If getting out and circulating in the community is critical to abuse prevention, it follows that access to transportation is essential. Many elderly persons do not own cars and do not have driver’s licences. They must therefore rely on taxis, public transportation, other transportation services or volunteer drivers.

A second way to prevent senior adult abuse is to educate seniors about abuse and what to do if it occurs. Provide them with information and encourage feelings of power and ability to be assertive and protect themselves. Abused persons need to know who to call for help. Depending on the problem, it may be a women’s shelter, police, social worker, health care provider or perhaps a lawyer.

Let us all become informed, aware and helpful!

Dear Editor,

As the lead director, along with the assistant director – Elaine Myers and the musical director – Colleen Nelson, I would like to thank the writer "Deborah Morgan" for her letter of "Kudos" printed in The Booster on May 22, 2012.

Your letter captured the true essence of our production of The Wiz, in early May, at Ecole Sifton School. And yes, it was the product of many, many hours by both cast and crew (mostly volunteer staff) and we did push the students to try their best in a safe and encouraging way. Yes, they

were all STARS! And, yes, we loved the imperfections too!

I totally agree with everything you said, in fact, you have put into words (very fine words) what our goals were, you said it better than I ever could.

Thank you for getting it!

Thank you for coming to the show, thank you for supporting our fine students and thank you to all the sponsors and parents who did so too.

I truly hope there is a production next year too and you will get the first ticket.

Patricia Spencer, teacher and director of The Wiz-TYA.

Price is Right winner Continued from page 2

The item he had to bid on was two pair of ladies' shoes valued at $2,100. DJ's winning bid of $1,299 was intended to stay on the low side. "I then won a quad and television with a sound system worth approximately $7,000 or $8,000," said DJ. Then he faced the famous big wheel to spin where DJ hit on $1 on his first attempt to win $1,000 and secure a spot in the showcase showdown.

“The wheel was the most exciting part of the whole thing. The girl gets up in front of me and spins 10 cents and then 75 cents, 85 cents, so in my head I’m thinking: don't think, just walk up and spin it,” DJ said.

In his showcase he had to bid on an ipod, retro appliances and a new Chevrolet Camaro. His winning bid was $28,000 and it was valued at more than $33,000. His total earnings were $44,522.

"I watch the show all of the time and I pride myself in coming within a $1,000 or $2,000," added DJ. "I was focused to add up each item. I thought it was $33,500, but I didn't want to over-bid. We were told over and over again not to over-bid because that ruins the show.

Luke motioned to me to bid $33,000, so I knew it was close. I just said $28,000 to be safe. I don't know why I said that amount."

When his opponent over-bid, he knew he had a chance. "As soon as I heard $33,000 I started to celebrate, I went to the car as soon as I could because that is what they tell you to do."

The prizes are expected to arrive within 90 days of the airing date. The prizes have to clear customs and he has to pay California taxes, as well as GST. He said he may forfeit the shoes because the duty is about 30 per cent and he doesn't have a choice of colour or size.

Luke and DJ agreed to split the prizes prior to the selection process.

"They can have the other prizes, but I'm keeping the Camaro for myself. I already have the licence plate cover that says, I won this car on the Price is Right.”

Youth lending program to start taking applications June 26 Youth are going to have the unique opportunity this summer to see what it is like to start and run their own businesses – East Central Alberta is launching a youth lending pilot project for 16through 21-year-old residents of the Battle River Alliance for Economic Development region.

Applications for financing will be taken starting June 26.

"It is a brand new program made possible with funding from Battle River Alliance for Economic Development," said Community Futures - East Central Alberta business analyst Clark Knight.

The youth lending pilot project will provide loans from $500 up to a maximum of $3,000, which can be repaid over a maximum of two years at an interest rate of 6.5 per cent.

The only criteria is a business plan with a projection of monthly cash flow.

The youth lending program is expected to appeal to those who have the drive to go out on their own.

"They may identify a need of someone in their family or they may want to buy a feeder calf and raise it as a 4-H project," said

"They may identify a need of someone in their family or they may want to buy a feeder calf and raise it as a 4-H project," Knight. "Or, they may want to start a lawn-mowing business that requires them to purchase a lawn mower and cart."

Community Futures will provide assistance to youth with their financial projections and market research.

"We won't write their business plan but we will work with them and point them in the right direction so that they can get it done in a fairly short time," said Knight. "A couple of weeks is usually enough time to put something together if a person has the time to sit down and really be dedicated about it. We will get them on the road to the borrowing stage."

Established in 1986, Community Futures is a federal government initiative that assists rural communities with the development of strategies for changing economic environments.

"We assist small business and communities in Alberta's East Central region to build their capacity to succeed," states the Community Futures website.

Community Futures' regular financing program provides loans up to a maximum of $150,000 at competitive interest rates, which can be amortized over a maximum of five years. Loans may be used to start or expand a business, apply new technology to a business, upgrade facilities and equipment, develop marketing and promotions material and establish working capital for anticipated sales increases.

Anyone who is interested in serving on the youth lending pilot project committee that will decide on loan applications and approve actions on loans is encouraged to call Knight at Community Futures - East Central Alberta toll-free at 1-877-336-3497.

Children's gala coming to the Camrose Resort Casino in September

By Murray Green

Local children will have the opportunity to have some fun at the Camrose Resort Casino.

A Children’s Gala premiere event will be held on Saturday, September 15, in the casino ballroom beginning at 6 p.m. "This evening of fun will be an opportunity to create an unforgettable experience for each child as they will be our VIP guests," said Kjeryn Davis of the Hospice Society of Camrose. "The evening’s activities will include a silent auction, a four-course plated dinner and a magic show. There will also be cupcakes, spray-on tattoos, a manicure station, sports activities and a dance to follow the dinner. Throughout the evening, there will be a Spin to Win wheel and participants can win movie or swim passes. We will also be crowning a prince and princess of the gala."

Lucky winners of a mom and princess of the day contest will receive a limo ride, a hotel room, $100 to go towards dresses, a shopping spree, and a hair and nails session.

The gala will begin with a four-course meal with a magician entertaining at tables during dinner, and they will present a full show following the meal. "We hope to have this cost covered by a sponsor, which we are currently searching for. The total cost for our magician will be $1,575, so we need some help with that.

We also require a sponsorship for our caricature artist, which is $700."

Kjeryn is also in search of items for the silent auction. "Where possible, we would be appreciative of these donations being aimed at either a child or a family’s enjoyment," added Kjeryn.

Children will have a chance to win a trip through WestJet, signed books by Robert Munsch, or other prizes. Proceeds will be going to the Hospice Society of Camrose from the event.

"We are seeking table sponsorships to be given away to children of our local schools as well as the Boys and Girls Club. Your sponsorship will have an enormous positive impact on those children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend."

The cost is $480 for a table of eight. All children must be accompanied by an adult. "Tickets are $60 each until August 1 and then they go up to $70 after that."

Contact Kjeryn at Kjeryn.davis@investorsgroup.com or 780679-7890 for tickets or more information. You can also contact Carla Makoloski at 780-878 4338 or Lauren Hoyme at 780-6085493.

Improvements to ski trails Submitted by Camrose Ski Club

Starting June 7, work began on sections of the Camrose Ski Trails to bring them back to the original width, and to make the trails safer. Over the decades the underbrush has grown out and narrowed the trails, and also grown overhanging branches that either hit skiers or volunteers from the ski club who groom the trails in winter, and cut the grass in summer.

Volunteers with clippers and chain saws haven’t been able to keep up with the growth, and there are 18 kilometres of trails to be trimmed.

The ski club using its own funds, a grant from the city and the province, has hired a company with experience brushing cross country ski trails to trim the underbrush. They are also widening one of the main twoway traffic trails to improve safety, and to allow for the section to be double tracked. Now one skier won’t have to get out of the track to let an oncoming skier pass.

The Bob Cat mounted mulcher is grinding most of the underbrush into small pieces, but there are some large pieces being left on the trails. Once the work is completed volunteers will be out removing the debris, and leveling any rough areas.

This piece of equipment is dangerous to be around. As the machine works along the trail system we are closing sections.

For your own safety, and that of the workers, please stay off the closed sections.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING The Bethany Group is now accepting applications for occupancy of Jamieson Manor –

an affordable housing project

Still Available: Redneck Millwright Services, from Ardrossan, has been hired to clear the brush on the ski trails. Redneck Millwright Services has had experience clearing the Strathcona Wilderness Trails.

The ski club has other plans for improvements prior to next ski season. Over the summer at least one bridge will be replaced, and there will be new alignments for some of the trails to either eliminate two-way traffic or improve visibility on sections where there is two-way skiing.

Last fall the first phase of the signage project was completed and the second phase will be undertaken this summer. The signs provide information on direction of travel, and on the difficulty of the trails, ranging from easy to difficult.

As part of the signage project, maps will be installed at several locations along the trails Volunteers with the Camrose

Ski Club maintain the 18-kilometres of trails year round. In the winter they groom the trails, and in the summer volunteers mow the grass. All the equipment, from snowmobiles to the mower, is owned by the ski club.

The Camrose Ski Club is the umbrella organization for several activities which use the trails.

These include cross country skiing, biathlon, luge, snowboarding, running, and the newest section, biking. Members of the biking section have been renovating the mountain bike course used several years ago for the Alberta Summer Games.

Obstacles and barriers

By John Hoffman From The Father Toolkit

Even with the best intentions, a father's role can sometimes be unfulfilled, due to a number of obstacles or barriers.

According to Sirois, A. ("Le role due pere" – revue de literature, DSC, 1991), the father is influenced by: • what society expects of him; • what he has learned of the role of father as a child; • what his family expects of him regarding a fair share of parental responsibility.

Society and the methods have much to say about the ideal father, but very few concrete, realistic models of committed and competent fathers are presented.

Fathers are often portrayed as inept and ridiculous. In the case of the popular cartoon, The Simpsons, as downright negligent and offensive!

A father's idea of the ideal father role is partly shaped by the media, but if positive role models do not exist and do not promote the father's role as necessary and useful, the wrong messages are sent – and received.

The changing role of fathers in today's society From The Father Toolkit

Not so long ago, a father's job was to bring home a pay cheque, cut the grass, fix things and tell the kids when they were misbehaving. There was a fairly strict dividing line between the roles of mothers and fathers.

Now it's different. Families have changed in the past 25 years and male and female parenting roles are not as clear as they once were. Although the gap has narrowed, mothers still spend more time with children and working on domestic tasks than fathers do.

The idea that the average father spends only 20 minutes a day with his children has been exposed as a myth. Fathers are now involved in most aspects of child care, and on any given day, you can see fathers doing lots of things that once were considered the work of a mother – changing diapers, taking children to school and day care and even looking after children while their partner is at work.

At the same time, more mothers are spending more time in

the traditionally male domain of work outside the home.

While the roles of both fathers and mothers have changed, the two genders have experienced those changes in different ways. For mothers, the changes came about as a result of women wanting or needing to be more involved in the outside world of work and careers. For men, the changes came about partly as a result of what women were doing. With mothers spending more time away from home, they had less time for athome work including child care.

Therefore, fathers were needed to pick up the slack by spending more time looking after their children and doing homework.

One growing phenomenon in Canadian families is off-shifting, where mothers and fathers stagger their work time so as to be able to keep at least one parent at home caring for the children while having the benefits of a second income. This is one way in which significant numbers of fathers have found themselvs in the position of primary care-

giver for at least certain hours during the day or week. In fact, a small but gradually increasing number of men have taken on the role of stay-at-home parent. Previously, psychologists and sociologists tended to look at parenting in terms of motherhood because mothers were usually the parents who spent the most time with children.

More recently, two factors have caused researchers to take a closer look at fatherhood. One factor is the increasing involvement of fathers in the lives of children. The other is the phenomenon of fatherlessness. Figures published by the U.S.-based National Fatherhood Initiative indicate that 34 per cent of American children do not live with their biological father. Of those children, 40 per cent have not seen their father in the past year. (Unfortunately, there are no corresponding statistics for Canada, although most observers believe that the fatherlessness problem is less acute in this country.)

Much of the early research

on fatherhood tried to establish the kind of contributions that fathers make to child development. Some studies, which have looked at children's long term development, have found that children who grew up with positively involved fathers are more empathetic, more likely to do well in school, and less likely to engage in violent behaviour as youths.

Other studies have looked at fathers' parenting and play behaviour. Other researchers have documented (if we didn't already know from our own experience) that fathers and mothers hold babies differently and that fathers' style of playing with babies is different from that of mothers. Fathers tend to be more physical in their play, mothers more verbal.

Some researchers have suggested that these differences are very important to children's overall development. Mothers provide security and keep children close to them, while fathers encourage exploration and serve

to bring children out into the world.

However, human development is very complex and it is always difficult to isolate one factor, such as how a father plays Peek-a-boo, and be able to say that it caused a certain outcome in a child's life. Moreover, this fascination with mother-father differences may have overlooked the most important contribution that involved fathers make to their children, and that's that positive, involved fathering seems to help with the overall effective functioning of families.

Two of the leading American researchers in the area of fatherhood are Kyle Pruett, of Yale Universty, and Michael Lamb, of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Maryland. Pruett is conducting a long-term study of stay-home fathers. He has found that there seems to be a significant benefit to having the father do most of the hands-on daily care in the early years.

Diamonds, sparks for Canada Day

By Jane Cherry-Lemire Canada Day chair

This year Canada will be commemorating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the War of 1812. It seems appropriate to include these two themes in our Canada Day celebrations and we also thought it might be fun to do a fund raiser around one of them.

Putting together the idea of celebrating Canada Day, raising money for fireworks and commemorating the Diamond Jubilee we spoke to DJ Ilg and Luke Norrie at the Canadian Brewhouse to see if they would want to help host a fun event at their establishment and we spoke to James and Sherry Cardiff from Richardson’s Jewellery to see if they would be interested in donating a pair of diamond earrings. We were thrilled when both parties jumped at the chance.

The fundraiser event will take place on June 16th at the Canadian Brew House beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets are $30

and will include a prime rib and shrimp dinner and a bottle of beer or highball and a chance to win a $100 gift certificate for the Brewhouse.

Martin Presse has also

Fundraising event at Canadian Brewhouse come on board as our emcee for the evening and he will take the crowd through a variety of fun activities planned for the night.

The first activity will be “Name that Canadian Sung Song” teams of up to six will try to guess title and Canadian artist for a number of songs and the winning team will win a round of drinks courtesy of the Brewhouse. The second activity will be “Are you Smarter than the Average Canadian?” teams of

up to six will compete to answer fun Canadian trivia questions and the winning team will also win a round of drinks courtesy of the Brewhouse. Ongoing throughout the evening will be a silent auction with some great prizes donated by local businesses. There will be a giant ‘Jinga’ game, drink specials and lots of opportunity to visit with your friends.

The highlight of the evening will be the “Find the Queen of Diamonds Game” sponsored

by Richardson’s Jewellery and Libman and Company. Everyone will have the opportunity to purchase cards for $10 for a chance to win a beautiful pair of Canadian Inuit Ice earrings valued at $1,375.

We are excited about this event and hope that lots of people will pick up tickets at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre located at 4809-52 Street (lower level of Co-op) or at the door while quantities last. Call Jane at 780-672-9949 for more information.

Trooper concert will have Town of Daysland rocking to familiar sounds June 30

By Dan Jensen

The Town of Daysland is getting ready to party.

Legendary rock band Trooper will be rocking and shaking the Daysland Arena in a preCanada Day concert presented by DaysArts, the Daysland Memorial Arena and Town of Daysland starting at 9 p.m. June 30.

Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.ticketweb.ca, at the Daysland Town Office, or by phone at 1-888-222-6608.

"We're looking forward to a great show, one that all ages will enjoy," said event manager Patricia Spencer. "They're one of the best party bands you could ever get."

Trooper has produced a long list of widely recognizable hits, including "Raise a Little Hell", "We're Here for a Good Time (Not a Long Time)", "The Boys in the Bright Red Sportscar", "Two For The Show" and "Pretty Lady".

The band's 10 studio albums have earned multiple gold and platinum awards, and its album, Hot Shots continues to be one of Universal Music Canada's bestsellers.

"They've won practically every Canadian music award possible and they've been dubbed Canada's greatest Party Band," said Dan Brisbois, of canadianbands.com.

Trooper consistently sells out shows across the country, often performing for three generations of fans.

"There are clubs and festivals across the country where the annual Trooper show is practically an official holiday," said Bob Mersereau, author of The Top 100 Canadian Albums.

Planning for the Trooper concert began last Christmas.

"We booked them very early," said Spencer. "The day after they are here they will be flying off to B.C. to do another show, and then they are off to Moncton, New Brunswick, for another one. The band has been on the road for more than 25 years and they are still busy."

The concert will serve as a kick-off to the Daysland Canada Day celebrations the following day.

"We're going to have a kids' bike parade, kids' games, a bar-

becue, two for one special at the Daysland Golf Club, art display, musical entertainment, and a ball tournament," said Spencer.

"People with RVs can attend the concert, stay overnight, and attend the Canada Day activities the next day."

Trooper concert organizers are still looking for volunteers to assist with driving, loading and unloading, security, ticket sales, liquor set-up, food sales, clean-up, catering for Trooper, and merchandise sales.

"There are lots and lots of opportunities for people to contribute to their community in this exciting and financially worthwhile event, and also have a little fun," said Spencer.

Funds from the Trooper concert will be used to fund repairs to the Daysland Arena roof.

"We put a new roof on the arena about three or four years ago and it is still not paid for," said Spencer.

Anyone who is wishing to help is encouraged to call Jeanni at 780-374-3799 or Spencer at 780-374-2199.

The changing role of fathers in today's society Continued from page 18

That's not because fathers do it better than mothers, it's because having a primary-caregiver father usually means that a child has

two highly involved parents, which Pruett believes is good for children. In addition, Lamb suggests that having an involved father, whether he's the primary caregiver

or not, contributes to good teamwork and mutual support between mothers and fathers. "The most important issues about good fatherhood have to do with marital har-

mony," Lamb noted in an article in Today's Parent magazine.

Therefore, the unheralded benefit of involved fathering may simply be that it helps to

promote an effective parenting partnership: two partners who support each other and are able to share the ups and downs of the parenting experience. That has to be good for kids.

By Dan Jensen

FortisAlberta has produced a new video it hopes will raise awareness in the construction, trucking and oil and gas industries about power safety.

"The video highlights the importance of always asking where's the line before undertaking any job," explained FortisAlberta communications advisor Kevin Haslbeck.

The construction industry accounts for a large number of contacts with power lines each year. In 2011 there were 271 public contacts with FortisAlberta power lines, including 89 by trucks. Fourteen were the result of farming activity, while 43 were the result of oil and gas movements.

The general public accounted for 43 contacts.

The video provides information about proper safe distances from power lines, who to call to check clearances and underground facilities while arranging for high load moves or acquiring permits, and proper escape procedures to follow in the event of a contact.

"We encourage Albertans to always contact FortisAlberta or their local electricity provider if they are not 100 per cent positive about specific power line clearances," said Doug Skippen, manager of health and safety, FortisAlberta. "It's better to take the extra time to ensure your safety rather than take unnecessary risks to get the job done quickly and endanger your life and the lives of others.

The video follows FortisAlberta's successful release last fall of a power line safety video and farmers and ranchers.

DVDs are being distributed through Alberta construction safety organization courses and member organizations.

They may also be ordered by sending an email to safetyquestions@fortisalberta.com, or calling 310-WIRE (9473) or 1-855-333-9473.

Since 2010, six people in Alberta have died as a result of contacting a power line.

As owner and operator of more than 60 per cent of Alberta's total electricity distribution network, FortisAlberta's focus is delivering safe and reliable electricity to almost half a million residential, farm and business customers. The company serves more than 200 communities with 114,000 kilometres of distribution power lines across Alberta.

Endicott advises Augustana students to "be yourself"

By Marina Endicott

Thank you, Dean. Chancellor Hughes, Board Chair Representative Hoveland, Acting President Clark, Minister Olson, Dean Berger, distinguished faculty, parents and family, and glorious class of 2012.

I believe I’m now supposed to talk about ‘dreams’, ‘journeys,’ and ‘windows-slash-doors of opportunity.’ In my role as creative writing instructor here at Augustana, I have compiled a short list of metaphors, mostly culled from pop songs, for you to chew over while I talk: Life is a highway, Spread your wings and take to the sky, I believe that children are the future, I hope you dance…Don’t stop believing, I hope you’ve had the time of your life.

Convocation speeches were invented, according to Garry Trudeau, in the belief that outgoing college students should never be released into the wild until they have been properly sedated.

I didn’t want to go to my own BA graduation, 30 years ago. But my dear mother made me – wait, I have to go back a little in time to set this one up.

Sessional instructor at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus Marina Endicott inspired students with her convocation address.

When I was six years old, my mother discovered that she had breast cancer. We had to leave my father’s Anglican parish in Fernie, B.C., so she could have treatment in Vancouver. This monumental change became the catalyst for a family decision that my father should go back to grad school, first to do a PhD in psychology, then to law school … he was in law school when I was in high school, and articling when I went to university.

Anyway, as the time of my graduation approached my mother had a bad mammogram, and she phoned to tell me that she wanted to attend my graduation with me, because she didn’t think she’d be around long enough for any of her other children to graduate.

I did go, of course, wearing this same bright green hood, and sat through interminable speeches, of which I don’t recall one word. What I do remember about the day is my mother, and my fear for her.

When I spoke to her this morning – she’s now 83, and in ripe good health – I reminded her of that and she said, "Oh that was a lovely day, you looked so beautiful! I was so proud of you!"

Graduation day can be tough on the parents. We go to the cer-

emony as fully-employed parents and we come home jobless. (But perhaps with a basement tenant.)

And I guess the theory behind convocation speeches is that you have all this education now – but you may still be lacking a couple of rules for living that we have one last chance to hammer into your heads.

I’ve never been comfortable with the giving of advice. Even in class, I don’t really like to teach, to hand down the right way to go about things: I think there are a lot of right ways to go about writing, to go about studying, to go about being human.

When my children were small, I was going away on a reading tour or something and leaving them with my husband, and I thought we’d better have some rules to put on the fridge so he could point to them and say, "See! No biting, it’s a rule."

But not being comfortable with rule setting either (I can always see the force of the other side’s argument — “But she needed biting”), I got my children to help make up the rules. It took all afternoon, as we argued and discarded possibilities. In the end we agreed on just two: 1. Be kind.

2. When it’s time to go, it’s time to go.

Those two seemed to carry within them every other rule.

Be Kind: this one is obvious.

It contains all the great rules, the law and the prophets, the 10 commandments, the golden rule and Mrs. DoAsYouWouldBeDoneBy. But it’s worth restating, as the basis of all human rights legislation and common law: When you have a choice, be kind. It’s selfserving, in the end. It’s sensible: kindness breeds kindness. It’s easier than thinking up inventive revenges. It’s right.

We needed “When it’s time to go, it’s time to go,” because my son had great enthusiasms and never wanted to leave – to the point of pitching a serious fit each time we had to leave a friend’s house, or the park, or the post office.

But eventually, no matter how much you’ve been enjoying the unlimited chocolate milk, the small classes, the personal attention from professors, the challenging, innovative curriculum

University of Alberta, Augustana Campus Dean Allen Berger congratulates Shara Harke of Camrose on receiving her bachelor of arts degree.

founded on the liberal arts and sciences, and the “experiential learning in wilderness and international environments,” eventually, it is going to be time to go.

You can take those rules as shallow as you please, or dig down: it is always, deeply, always important, in every field, in every part of our lives, to find love and receive it and give it – to be kind to each other in small things and in large.

And eventually, even if not before your other children’s graduations, it will be time to go.

I’ve been driving to Camrose for five years now – at first, a seven hour commute from and to Calgary, now the useful decompression-chamber hour from Edmonton. I love driving, and I love the meditative state that driving induces: physically alert, focused, but not mentally engaged in the physical task, so the mind is quiet and thoughtful.

I’ve had several epiphanies while driving and the most recent is this: Change = Life.

I know. The sky is blue. I take my epiphanies as they come.

But look, that’s not a sentence: it’s a formula, an exact expression of reality. They’re synonyms. I don’t know how to say it to convey what I mean! That

life, even Life with a capital L, is not a noun but a verb; not a state but an action, a continuous action. The change that we fear so much (and so rationally) is in fact utterly necessary: Is the life we are living.

Life = Change, and the great thing is, we can’t see the future.

Which leads to a lot of surprises.

Whatever you think is going to happen in the next few years, what does happen will be different. You will be surprised. It’s one of the main reasons to go on living.

And it’s all right to be excited – especially now! You don’t have to be nervous all the time.

A couple of years ago I was interviewed for More magazine – for an article on late bloomers. I was surprised, I was taken aback – I’d always considered myself a prodigy.

I wish for you to be both – the prodigies you are now to us, to your glowing families; and later, your blooming into something you cannot now expect.

I have one last rule to suggest.

A student once asked his teacher Ikkyu, a 15th century Zen master, to sum up the highest wisdom. Must have been convocation day. The master

Graduating students, from left to right, Mark Reinhart, David Chytracek, Derek Green and Jenna Keay completed several years of schooling in Camrose with a degree at the U of A, Augustana on June 3.

responded to this gigantic question with a single word scratched in the sand: “Attention.”

The student wasn’t satisfied and asked him to elaborate.

Ikkyu wrote: “Attention.

Attention. Attention.”

Attention is a very difficult task. We want to glaze over, as some of you may be glazing over even now. It’s easier for children and for students, still gathering information, than it is for adults.

David Foster Wallace, in his heart-breaking commencement speech a few years ago, before he committed suicide, said, “It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.”

He’s famous as the bard of boredom, the poet laureate of office workers. A brilliant writer, an early prodigy, he put in his time in the department of Internal Revenue and knew what boredom could be. His insight and advice, in the end, is that the chief boon of a liberal arts education is the ability to choose what you think about as you stand in line, as you shop for groceries after a long slogging day of dealing with the public; to make use of your university education to keep your mind both alert and sane.

My students over the last five years of teaching at Augustana have kept my mind alert and sane, and they’ve been a great pleasure to me. Teaching has sustained me while I continued to write – to do my true work – and my students have added to that work immeasurably.

As well as the pleasure of being with you all, Augustana has given me a gift, one that I didn’t expect from a university: it has allowed me to carve out a small room, unbothered, to be myself.

I think it’s given the same gift to each of you. Perhaps it has even helped you to become yourself.

It’s that mysteriously betterdefined self that you’ll be marching out of here, out into the wild world. It’s your self that will go with you into everything you do in future, all the varieties and vagaries of life and career and surprises that will befall, and become, you.

In the meantime, I will be kind, and invoke Rule 2: When it’s time to go, dear students, it’s time to go!

Thank you.

Mayor honours seniors' week in Camrose

By Murray Green City of Camrose Mayor Marshall Chalmers declared June 4 to 10 Seniors' Week.

“In honour of the past, present and future contributions of the seniors of this community and throughout Alberta, I hereby proclaim Seniors’ Week," said the mayor.

The Camrose Senior Coalition co-chairs Bob Smith and Donna Coombs and Camrose Senior Society secretary Iris Baker explained the importance of having a week for seniors. "It is always important to celebrate seniors. By setting aside a week dedicated to seniors, it makes everyone aware of seniors and what they do for the community," said Donna.

"The coalition helps the seniors' well-being, keeps people informed on the issues they have to face and searches for ways to improve long-term care," added Bob.

Kucy golfers invited to world championships

By Murray Green Jayla and Devin Kucy are going to see the world on their summer holidays.

The sister and brother golfers qualified for the junior world championships in San Diego or Los Angeles on July 14 to 21.

They qualified based on their performance at the Veritas World Junior Canadian Qualifier at Collicutt Siding Golf Course on June 2 and 3. The travel provider is Disneyland Sports, so a side trip to the magic land could also be in store for the children. It is also sponsored by the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Three Kucy children picked up medals at the Canadian Junior Golf Association's tournament in Red Deer on May 27.

Devin Kucy, 9, earned a gold medal in the boys' nine and 10 age division at River-

bend Golf Course and won by two strokes.

His brother Mason, 11, also played very well and received a silver medal for his efforts in the 11 to 13 age category. "He just could not catch the leader who caught fire and shot par on the final nine holes," said Joe Kucy, the proud father.

Jayla, 6, won gold in the nine and under girls' division and shaved 16 shots from her score last year. "It was a great improvement. It was a great result for all the Kucy children," explained Joe. "The weather was fantastic and the smiles were even bigger after the medal presentation." It was the first time that all three received a medal in the same tournament.

They all entered the US Kids' World's Qualifier in Crossfield on June 3.

Devon, Mason and Jayla Kucy all golfed well in the Canadian Junior Golf Association tour in Alberta this spring. So far, both Devon and Jayla have earned a trip to the world championships in Los Angeles or San Diego in July.

Ford Fusion All that you could want in a vehicle

By Dan Jensen

Take a car with already great driving dynamics. Pump up its fun factor to the extreme. Sprinkle in some of the smartest vehicle technology available and make sure it is fuel efficient. The result is the 2012 Ford Fusion.

"It's a great vehicle that comes in a variety of models to tackle any journey," said Lamb Ford Sales sales manager Brett Read.

Easy on fuel Fusion's standard 2.5 litre four-cylinder engine paired with the six-speed automatic transmission delivers 6.0 litres per 100 km on the highway.

The 240 horsepower 3.0 litre V6 flex fuel engine runs on E85, gasoline or any blend of the two. For maximum intensity, the 3.5 litre V6 on Fusion Sport kicks out 263 horsepower and 249 lb.-ft. of torque.

Keeps you connected The Ford Fusion keeps you connected. With voice-activated Ford SYNC you just touch a button in the steering wheel and say things like "Call Melissa" or "Play genre: Pop." Once paired, the system recognizes your phone and automatically transfers your contacts to support voice calling. SYNC also includes 911 Assist.

The voice-activated navigation system on Fusion features a vibrant eight-inch LCD touch screen with interactive maps you can zoom and scroll. The easy-to-use system lets you play DVDs while Fusion is in park, and store nearly 10 gigs of your digital music.

Sirius Satellite Radio comes with a sixmonth prepaid subscription. Surf up to 120 channels, including 100 per cent commercial free music, plus the best sports, news, talk and entertainment – all across Canada.

Advanced technology With cross-traffic alert, Fusion lets you know if its radar sensors detect a vehicle approaching while you're slowly backing out of your spot. It sounds a warning, alerts you in the message centre, and flashes a light in your sideview mirror.

The rearview camera projects a full-colour image and handy guidelines display on the large navigation screen or in your rearview mirror when you shift into reverse.

With Blind Spot Information System, an amber light in your sideview mirror indicates that the system senses a vehicle in your way.

Interior environment The Fusion SE has an eight-way power driver's seat with manual lumber, as well as driver and front passenger map pockets. The SEL has a ten-way power driver's seat and four-way power front-passenger seat.

Front leg and head room totals 1,074 mm and 983 mm respectively.

The chrome sport appearance package available on Fusion S and SE models includes

Jason Keough

18-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted pockets, performance tires, sport-tuned suspension, a rear decklid spoiler, charcoal black interior, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, unique finish on the centre stack and unique cloth seats.

Comprehensive safety The Ford Fusion takes a comprehensive

approach to safety. The standard AdvanceTrac ESC (electronic stability control) with brake-actuated traction control automatically enhances vehicle control in wet or slippery conditions.

The advanced Personal Safety Systm uses sophisticated sensors to optimize deployment of the dual-stage front airbags in certain frontal collisions. Front-seat side airbags and second-row side curtain airbags help protect both head and chest in certain side-impact collisions.

The exclusive MyKey allows you to program ignition keys with reminders to drive at appropriate speeds, keep the audio volume low and more, including limiting the vehicle's top speed and muting the audio system until front safety belts are fastened.

So that you and your passengers can be easily located, the SOS Post-Crash Alert System will automatically flash the hazard lights and sound the horn after an airbag has deployed or a safety belt pretensioner has activated in certain collisions.

Hazardous Waste Roundup Friday, Saturday

By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose will be giving residents an opportunity to dispose of their old cleaners, paints, solvents, oils and batteries in a Household Hazardous Waste Roundup this weekend.

"It is a way to dispose of old items in a responsible manner," explains the City of Camrose website.

Household hazardous wastes are products that are corrosive, such as batteries, drain cleaners, and oven cleaners, or products that are flammable or explosive, such as

paints, oils, aerosols, or propane tanks. Mixed together in the regional landfill, they can be dangerous to the workers and the environment.

Waste brought to the Household Hazardous Waste Roundup should be in their original containers. If the container is broken or cracked, the wastes should be placed inside a leak-proof package and labelled.

"If you find jars or cans of unidentified/unknown chemicals, take them to the collection site and tell a staff person that

you don't know what is inside," states the City website.

"Never mix unknown substances."

Products collected at the Household Hazardous Waste Roundup will be classified, manifested and packed by trained personnel, after which they will be taken to the Alberta Special Waste Management Facility near Swan Hills for treatment and disposal. The cost of treatment is borne by Alberta Environment.

Products commonly brought to the Household Haz-

ardous Waste Roundup are abrasive cleaners, barbecue starters, drain cleaners, gasoline, hair perm solutions, car waxes and polishes, mildew removers, laundry stain removers, oven cleaners, nail polish, paints, degreasers, shoe polishes, toilet cleaners, used oil (where recycling is not available), weed killers, and windshield washer solutions.

The Household Hazardous Waste Roundup will be held from 3 to 7 Friday and 9 to 3 Saturday at the Camrose Public Works yard, 4202-51 Avenue.

Battle River Community Foundation grants $180,878 to worthwhile projects

By Dan Jensen

The Battle River Community Foundation delivered $180,878 in 2011 to worthwhile projects in the community it serves.

"Recipients ranged from the Reading University program in Camrose and Tofield to the volunteer firefighters in Sedgewick, which used their grant to purchase equipment," said BRCF secretary and grants committee chair Dana Andreassen at the Foundation's annual open house June 6.

The total amount that has been granted by BRCF since its inception 16 years ago is $1,466,022.

"That's a pretty amazing number," said Andreassen. "It is something we couldn't have done without the generous support of the community."

The total amount of contributions to the Foundation by 557 unique and generous donors in 2011 was $576,941.

Twelve new endowment funds were created totalling $168,872.

"It is gratifying to know that we are on people's minds and that they chose to support the causes they care most about through the Battle River Community Foundation," said board chair Blain Fowler.

BRCF assets at the end of 2011 totalled $6,541,882.

"This leaves us a bit short of where we would like to be in our march to reaching our goal of having $10 million in the pot by the end of 2014," said Fowler, "however, with a bit of help with the markets and the continued support of generous donors we

remain optimistic that we will reach our objective."

Corey Kudrowich, the BRCF director in charge of fundraising, said in order to reach its goal, the Foundation needs to add about $620,000 each year.

"We are going to do that the same way we went from zero to $6.25 million. We are going to engage community minded individuals who understand the importance of creating a legacy and giving back to their community."

Former Strome area resident Dale Powell, who has 47 years of oilfield experience on every continent, said he and his wife have been impressed with the Foundation's stability and strong reputation.

"They do good work and you can see the result of the work they do. They are people you can trust and respect. All you have to do is be active in your community to see what they are doing. You can visibly see many of the good things."

Powell said the people associated with the Battle River Community Foundation have made a difference in his own life, as well as the lives of family members.

"Vivianne Grue was a previous employer of my mother.

Blain Fowler was my brother's Air Cadet instructor and assisted him in having a successful career as a commercial pilot. Ken Drever is a former neighbour and a long-time friend."

Open house guest speaker Verlyn Olson said one of the reasons the Battle River Community Foundation has become so successful is the

fact that the people who make the decisions and serve on the board live in and know the needs of communities receiving the funds.

"I have always enjoyed looking at the back of the newsletter and scrolling down the names of the people who are directors.

These are people who move the community and hold it together."

Olson also noted that the Foundation is strong because it has a regional focus.

"I think that it is very important that communities be linked and not operating in isolation from one another. As minister responsible for Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development I see great strength that comes from communities that are working with each other."

Donors may choose to support the BRCF and help make a difference to the future by establishing a fund in the name of a family member or loved one, making a gift of cash or securities, making a donation in honour or memory of a friend, making a pledge to be fulfilled over a specified period of time, including the Foundation in their wills or estate plans, giving a gift of life insurance, or giving to an existing fund.

"Grants made by the Battle River Community Foundation are funded by a combination of income generated from endowment funds, and flowthrough donations from those who want to remain anonymous or provide additional financial support to projects they are already funding," said Andreassen.

École Sifton School in Camrose was the recipient of the Nutrition Innovation Award.

This award celebrates schools that have shown their commitment to helping educate students to make healthier eating choices while at school. Only seven awards are presented throughout the province.

“We’re really proud of the creativity École Sifton showcased when developing healthy eating initiatives,” Jaclyn Chute, a nutrition educator with Alberta Milk, explained. “They are able to make eating healthy fun for students.”

The school uses a balanced timetable with a recess before lunch schedule to ensure that students have adequate time to eat meals and snacks and to be active. "It is part of my job with the government to make sure this province grows healthy food for all of us to eat," said MLA Verlyn Olson, minister of agriculture and rural development to the elementary students. "It is a really important job to produce food. By the time you reach high school, not that far away, there will be only a few countries that will be producing enough food to share with other countries. In Canada, Alberta is an important province; it is our job to produce healthy food not just for ourselves, but for everybody."

A healthy schools committee was formed with two administrators, a teacher, a parent, a registered dietitian and a respiratory therapist. They use a model where all groups making decisions regarding nutrition in the school report to their committee to ensure coordinated efforts. "We need strong leaders, like the leaders at École Sifton School," added MLA Verlyn. "Leaders help us stay healthy and that makes you strong for an active day and for learning. We want other schools to follow your example."

The school provided specific suggestions for healthy foods parents could send for classroom celebrations in their school newsletters rather than cakes and cupcakes. As well, some events like their Healthy Halloween

emphasize fun physical activities rather than candy.

The concession no longer sells chips, candy and pop, but features apples, granola bars and juice.

Healthy menus were developed for the hot lunch program to meet recommendations from the Alberta Nutrition Guidelines for Children and Youth.

Mascot Moonique was proud of the school because on milk Mondays, students who are part of the program, can choose white or chocolate milk.

The school has chosen healthier fundraising options like selling apples, poinsettias and pencils.

“We are very excited to receive this award from Alberta Milk. Our committee spent many hours consulting with our partners, gathering feedback and preparing our application. We plan on using the prize money for a breakfast program at our school,” said Todd Sikorski, Sifton viceprincipal. The breakfast program will start in the fall.

Alberta Milk director Arnold Van Os of Wetaskiwin presented the cash award to the school on June 4. In addition to the $1,000 to put towards their healthy initiative, the school also received a certificate and a crystal trophy in recognition of the whole school’s efforts to improve the health of students and staff.

Alberta Milk and its partners established the Nutrition Innovation Awards to support schools that are dedicated to improving their students’ eating habits. The most recent research from the Canadian Community Health Survey showed that children are not eating enough vegetables, fruit or milk products. A healthy school nutrition environment can empower students to make healthy choices, which contributes to overall well-being.

The Nutrition Innovation Awards for Alberta schools is a partnership among Alberta Milk, Breakfast for Learning Alberta, Dietitians of Canada and Ever Active Schools. More information about the awards can be found at moreaboutmilk.com/innovation. aspx.

High school track

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Composite High School athletes, from left to right, Jenya Rust, Anna Erikkson, Connor Foreman and Bryan Cole all had a successful track and field season and represented the school in provincials in Edmonton.

By Murray Green Track and field athletes from Charlie Killam School in Camrose collected the most points to win the aggregate award on June 5.

"It is the fourth year in a row that we have won the overall aggregate award. We have never done that before," said Jayson Boyson, athletic director at CKS. "It wasn't ideal conditions with the wind and cool temperatures, but they fought through it."

Although all points were important for the victory, two local athletes also earned aggregate titles in their division.

Grade 8 student Sadie Borgfjord tied with Megan Sly of Tofield in earning 19 points each in the girls' category. "I was in three running events, as well as the two relay races. I was first in the 100m and 400m metre events and second in the 200m races. We won both of the relay races," explained Sadie.

"Running is fun and I like the 100m event the best because of the speed and you go full out.

You have to get off to a good start, whereas in the longer races you have to pace yourself."

"I was surprised to receive the aggregate because I was in only three events," Sadie said.

She also runs for the school in the Edmonton Journal Indoor Games each spring. This year the team came in fifth in the province. "It's a lot of fun running against other teams. I like running and I want to continue and do better next year."

CKS also earned the aggregate title at the divisions, as well as the regionals. "I'm glad we did so well and everyone contributed to our success.

Sadie also led the girls'' 4 by 100m and 4 by 400m relay teams. The 100m team also had Camryn Gau, Allison Erskine and Natalya Klutz as members. Shavonne Voytechek, Malinka Voytechek, Braxtyn Harbay joined her on the 400m squad.

"Our track and field coaches were great and a really big help for us receiving the aggregate award," said Sadie. The coaches were Ryan Galenza, Brian Spielman and Shauna Lindahl.

Danton Davis collected 24 points to lead in the Grade 9 boys and also tied for the overall lead in points with Scott Kohlman of Bashaw. The record for points in junior high is 25 points.

Danielle Allen of Tofield, Landon Esktra of Killam and Demi Vermeer of Bawlf were the other aggregate winners.

ALS Walk held in Camrose

By Murray Green

The fourth annual walk for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) will be held on June 23 around Mirror Lake, starting at the Bill Fowler Centre at 10:30 a.m.

ALS is a rapidly progressive fatal motor neuron disease, which currently doesn't have a cure. It is estimated that two or three Canadians die each day from the disease.

ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, after the famous New York Yankees' first baseman who suffered from the disorder. The disease can strike anyone, regardless of age, gender or circumstances. Families can be hit with expensive medical bills for specialized equipment and nursing care.

Walk coordinator Brandee Fossen is heading the event as a tribute to her mother MaryAnne Hammer who had the disease. "Walkers can collect pledges and the donations are used for research, health care providers and equipment. About 60 per cent of what we raise stays in Alberta. Walks are the major fundraisers for us and most of them are in June," Brandee said. "Last year we raised about $14,000, up from $12,000 the year before, and it was rainy and miserable. We still had about 30 walkers. The year before we had 70 walkers. This is the first time for me organizing the event, so the goal is around $15,000."

Walkers register at 10 and begin the journey around the lake at

Camrose ALS Walk coordinator Brandee Fossen and City of Camrose Mayor Marshall Chalmers declared Saturday, June 23, ALS Day and the annual walk will be held at the Bill Fowler Centre at 10:30 a.m.

10:30 a.m. Refreshments are available and prizes will be presented.

"We will be setting up an information booth in the Duggan Mall on June 14 and again at Walmart on June 15 and 16," said Brandee.

City of Camrose Mayor Marshall Chalmers proclaimed June as ALS Awareness Month to raise knowledge about collecting funds for research and patient care. "In the Camrose area, there are three individuals who receive support from the society," said Brandee. "We are supporting about 175 individuals living in Alberta with ALS, as well as their families."

In at least 90 per cent of the cases, ALS strikes individuals with no family history of the disease.

"Nearly 90 per cent of people with ALS died within five years of diag-

nosis. The equipment is so expensive and it might be used for only a few months."

Each year, local volunteers in more than 84 communities show their commitment to the cause by organizing walks. In 2011, over $3 million was raised by approximately 19,000 walkers and more than 165,000 donors. This year, 10 walks will occur across Alberta between June and September, in partnership with the ALS Society of Alberta.

The Walk for ALS raises funds for support services for those affected

by ALS and for research into the causes, treatments and a cure for this devastating disease. To make a donation visit www.walkforals.ca and www.alsab.ca or for more information about how you can become a walker, check the website.

Joanne was raised on the family farm at Northwood, Ontario. She attended a country school and graduated in accounting from John McGreoger secondary school in 1969.

Her first employment was at Len W. Peat, and later to Bedard’s Plumbing in 1970. She left this job in 1973 to raise a family with her husband Ed in Harwich township, outside of Chatham.

In 1980 they moved to Alberta with their three children. They first lived in Taber then moved to Coaldale where they remained living until 2008. The Lethbridge Community College was her first job opportunity where she worked in accounting for the Student’s Association.

Later Joanne was in charge of accounting at the Southern Alberta Community Living Association where she worked until 2000.

Her last position was at Green Acres Foundation as Head of Housekeeping, a job she was proud of as she was referred to as “Mrs. Clean” by the residents and staff. She left this position in 2008 when Joanne and her husband moved to Daysland. There they remodeled their home, and she was able to volunteer at the Camrose Railway Museum as a cook’s assistant. One of the highlights was the 2010 Czechoslovakian Days, a traditional Czech dinner. She was proud of her heritage, having danced in her native Czech costume at Expo 67 and other events in Canada and the United States. Her passion and leisure were her wood crafts and flower garden, but her love and devotion was to her family, especially her grandchildren.

Albert “Abby” Nordstrom

April 29, 1929 – June 6, 2012

Albert “Abby” Artars Nordstrom was born on October 22, 1921, northeast of Holden, Alberta, second son of Oscar and Mildred Nordstrom. Albert passed away on Friday, June 1, 2012. He was 90 years old.

Albert loved cattle, horses and farm life. When his parents moved the family to Ontario, Albert at 15, did not want to go. He lived in Ontario for three months before returning to Alberta. During the 1940s Albert “rodeoed”, riding saddle bronc and winning a little money at times. He appeared in the Calgary Stampede a few times.

Albert met Alice Meadahl in 1948. They were married on April 26, 1950 in Hegre Church in the Gladstone area. They lived in Holden before moving to Endiang, then to Entrance, just outside of Jasper. In 1954, Albert began working for the Mohler family raising registered Hereford cattle.

Following the dispersal of the cattle in 1966, he worked for Hills Ranching Company south of Camrose until his retirement in 1986.

After his retirement Albert enjoyed fishing and visiting with family and friends. He lived on his own until 2003 when he moved into Stoney Creek Lodge.

Albert leaves to mourn his passing his children: David (Susan), Donna, and Brenda (Kelly); 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren; one sister Elsie of Ontario; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Albert was predeceased by his wife Alice; his parents; two brothers Bill and Edward; one sister Laura; one sister in infancy and his very special companion - Herdis Lomness.

He will be forever loved and missed by us all.

Funeral services were held on Thursday, June 7, 2012 at 1:00 p.m., from The Burgar Memorial Chapel with Pastor Joshua Goetz officiating. Interment followed in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose.

Marg Loesch of Daysland, Alberta passed away on Wednesday June 6, 2012 at the age of 83. She was born on April 29, 1929. She was a devoted caring wife, loving mother and nana. Marg grew up and spent her early years helping her parents on their farm at Daysland while attending and graduating from Daysland School. Marg went to normal school on Vancouver Island, BC and obtained her diploma in education. Marg taught school for seven years on the island and eight years in Alberta. She often said dealing with her oneroom class of varied ages was challenging.

On July 13, 1953 Marg married her best friend and soul mate Kenneth Loesch. In 1961 they welcomed a very special man, Clem Hebert, into their home for three years while he completed his high school. Today Clem is a retired school teacher.

That same year, they welcomed their chosen son Mark into their family. Mark married Bonnie in November 2003 and they have three children Braeden, Seirra and Erik. In 1963 they welcomed their second son Bradley. Brad married Sherry in October 1988 and they have three children Jasmine, Paris, and Corbin. Marg and Ken found their purpose and passion in mixed farming, raising beef cattle, growing crops, and operating a dairy for 36 years.

In 1989 Marg and Ken retired to their new home in Daysland. Their son Brad and Sherry continued working the family farm.

Marg’s favorite pastime was being surrounded by those she loved. Because of her love of cooking and baking, she always had company and loved nothing more than entertaining. She loved to play cards, especially 500 Schmier and cribbage. If she found herself falling behind, she often teased her opponents by calling them “donkeys”. Marg loved to bowl weekly on a ladies’ team as well as a mixed team with Ken and their closest friends. Some may remember her fondness for her house cat Tiggy; we can’t say Ken felt quite the same!

The Daysland Drop-in Center became a special and fun place to go play cards and meet up with her friends. Marg was a dedicated Royal Purple and CWL member for many years.

In January 2011 Marg moved into Providence Place where she enjoyed cards, floor curling, visiting and having friends over for her famous lemon and flapper pie. She never really got to enjoy all Providence Place had to offer because her health began to deteriorate. Marg faced the challenge of living with cancer with courage, hope, strength and unwavering faith. We always said she was small but feisty. We remember her with her beautiful smile, outgoing personality and her zest for life. We cherish every moment she shared in our lives.

Marg was predeceased by her husband Ken; parents Fred and Eva Krausert; sister Joan; and brother Bruce. Marg is survived by her two sons Mark (Bonnie) of Grand Prairie and their children, Brad (Sherry) of Daysland and their children; and her four sisters Kay, Jean, Betty and Patricia(Lloyd Hagen).

Marg will be loved and remembered by her family, many relatives and friends.

We are grateful for your expressions of support.

If you so desire, memorial contributions are graciously accepted to Providence Place, Daysland and District Handivan, or Daysland Ag Society.

A mass of the resurrection was celebrated 3:00 p.m., Friday, June 8, 2012 at Our Lady of the Prairies Roman Catholic Church in Daysland, Alberta with Rev. Len Gartner as celebrant. To send condolences please visit www.burgarfuneral home.com.

May 4, 1928 – May 29, 2012 Erven Soch was born on May 4, 1928 in Ellerslie, Alberta, the second child of Samuel and Alwina Soch. He went to school in Canard until grade 3, when his family moved to the present family farm just west of Hay Lakes. He attended school in Hay Lakes until grade 8, when the wartime labor shortage caused him to drop out to help on the family farm.

This is where he met Adoline Miller who was living on the neighboring farm.

Erven and Adoline were married July 4, 1953 in St. Stephen’s Lutheran church in rural Hay Lakes. He farmed here in halfpartnership with his father until 1960, when they took over operation of the farm when his father passed away. During this time two children were born to this union. He continued farming until 1974 when he went into half-partnership with his two sons. He was involved in the operation of the farm until the early part of 2012 when his illness forced him into the hospital until the time of his passing on May 29, 2012.

He leaves to mourn: his wife Adoline; two sons, Darrell and Gordon of Hay Lakes; his sister Flora Knoske of Edmonton; his brother Wilfred (Rita) Soch of Bittern Lake; his sister Margaret (Yorry) Sibulak of Edmonton; and his brother-in-law Erven Miller of Hay Lakes.

He also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews and other relatives and friends.

A private family service will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to the Alberta Cancer Foundation.

CALC presents literacy award to Blain Fowler

By Dan Jensen

The Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council presented its 2012 Literacy Award to Blain Fowler, June 6, in recognition of the work he has done with the

Reading University program.

"He saw a possibility, Reading University, and turned it into a reality by building a strong, successful partnership between three organizations in our community," said award presenter and CALC executive director Diane McLaren. "Reading University will provide a lifelong impact on the literacy skills of elementary students who participate in it. Hopefully, it will be one of the factors which prevent these children from showing up for services at Camrose Adult Learning Council when they become adults."

Former Battle River Community Foundation board chair Ken Drever said that, as chair of the Foundation, Fowler worked closely with the Battle River School Division and the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta to make the Reading University program possible.

"His dedication and determination ensured that the funds were available."

Battle River School Division assistant superintendent Ray Bosh said it didn't take long for the school board, after hearing a presentation by Fowler in 2009, to decide that entering into a partnership with the Battle River Community Foundation (and later Augustana) on a reading program was a good idea. He added Reading University is now entering its fourth year of serving students in Camrose, and its third year of serving students in Tofield.

"More than 140 students have completed the four-week program with another 50 scheduled to start in a few weeks."

Bosh said without Fowler's ongoing commitment, dedication and financial support, Reading University would not be thriving the way it is today.

"He has worked very well with our board."

Bosh said it is such a reward at Reading University graduation to see the rewards of what Fowler has started.

"It has brought them (students) into an academic setting and it has allowed them to see what they can do. All of a sudden, literacy and learning has become important. This program changes students' lives."

Augustana acting dean Ric Johnson said Augustana shares Fowler's vision of a literate, wellinformed society, and knows that literacy education has to start early.

Blain Fowler accepts the CALC Literacy Award from CALC executive director Diane McLaren.

"As an institution committed to general education as well as specific skills, a campus that encourages analytical thinking and creativity, as well as learning about specific disciplines, Augustana is grateful for people like Blain and organizations like the Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council, Battle River Community Foundation and Battle River School Division in their support of literacy and teaching and learning."

Johnson expressed what a thrill it was to participate in the Reading University graduation last summer.

"The chapel was just filled with children and their families celebrating their remarkable achievements in improving reading skills by two or three or four levels in a summer. We love having the Reading University students on our campus. They create a special kind of life that brightens our summer. We told them we look forward to seeing them again, in about say, ten years, when they are looking for a really great university."

Johnson said Augustana students participate in literacybased community service opportunities at schools in Camrose.

"For example, Paula Marentette's students have been reading buddies with students at Chester Ronning over the past few years. Judith Spencer's students have been language assistants at Ecole Sifton School. We also place students with the Canadian Parents for French to help with after school reading at Ecole Sifton."

City councillor Ray McIsaac said he has always known Fowler as a strong booster of Camrose.

"I have known Blain for years and consider him to be a pillar of our great community for the work and the contributions he has made to Camrose and area."

Fowler expressed his appreciation to all the organizations – Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council, the Battle River School Division, Battle River Community Foundation and Augustana – who have made the Reading Program work.

"Right from square one, Reading University was a willing partnership of local organizations working together for the long-term benefit of children and society. The school division took responsibility for designing the educational program, recruiting and training staff

and inviting appropriate children to participate. The community foundation committed to matching funds contributed by the school division. The university agreed to provide classroom space, use of the computer lab and catering for our students."

Fowler also commended the Battle River Community Foundation's financial partners for ensuring that the funds for the Reading Program were available at a time when the foundation's investments were not performing well.

"Our organizational partners had to have an absolute guarantee that our dollars would be there when called upon. I approached the Mayers at Central Agencies and Joe and Paula Cramer at the Norsemen Inn for a pledge to top up whatever I could collect from others as necessary to make the $30,000 that the Foundation had committed. Both parties agreed to do so. These two families have been with us from the start and continue to support the Reading University Program and other causes through the community foundation in ways that you will never know ... for that is their nature. Many generous donors have been with

us from the start, including: EVRAZ, Berdie Fowler, David and Helen Samm, Neil and Denny Hansen, the ATA Local and the Augustana Faculty Association. This is a very generous and caring community."

Fowler said he was amazed that there were something like 28 teachers who applied for four lead teacher positions in the first year.

"I thought all the teachers in the system would be looking forward to a little time to charge their batteries, but no, they were eager to be part of what we were trying to accomplish."

Fowler said the people who get involved with Reading University do so because they feel it is a worthwhile endeavour.

"Those involved feel they are participating in a program that has the potential to change young lives forever."

Fowler said the method of teaching used at Reading University is unique and fun for participants.

"They are learning to read without ever realizing that it is happening. Make no mistake: this is all business and no walk in the park. However, you can learn to read, comprehend and write by playing scrabble, going on a treasure hunt, making cookies or doing research on a computer."

The purpose of the Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council's Literacy Award is to remind the community of the importance of literacy and lifelong learning, and to acknowledge those members of the community who make an outstanding contribution to expanding the possibilities for literacy and learning in Camrose.

"It is disturbing to me," said McLaren, "that statistics indicate that up to 40 per cent of Albertans do not have the literacy skills they need to participate fully in our modern society.

Every week I meet adults who must upgrade their literacy and academic skills so that they can obtain a GED certificate or a high school diploma which will allow them to attend a secondary institution or obtain employment to support themselves and their families. These are adults who, for a variety of reasons, have fallen through they cracks in our educational and social systems. They want to participate fully in Camrose society and they need our assistance to do it."

Previous recipients of the Camrose and Area Adult Learning Council Literacy Award have been Sharilyn Cook, Deborah Morgan, Finola Hackett, Berdie Fowler, Janice De Paoli and David Samm.

First Nations artists featured in art exhibition at Chuck MacLean

By Dan Jensen

The works of First Nations artists Tanya Harnett, Alex Janvier and Curtis Johnson are on display at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre this month in an exhibition entitled "Our Wilderness is Wisdom."

"The artists in this exhibition tell a story using contrast-

ing mediums to carry a message unique to them," states a media release from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program.

First Nations ancestors used metaphors in storytelling for everything, including lessons to teach children how to hunt, sew and live. The simple

life they led was reliant on the land they lived in and respected through prayer to the Great Spirit or Creator."

"What is unique for us to remember of this existence and ever flowing change of our society is that we need to return to our roots," says the release.

"The artists in the exhibition

examine our own lives, and their canvasses are like the soles of their moccasins: the land underneath them is what they understand.

Through their paintings they become many voices, telling stories of the past, present and future.," "Our Wilderness is Wis-

dom" may be viewed from 8:30 from 5:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and from 8:30 to 9:00 on Wednesday. The exhibition was curated

by Heather Shilolinglaw and organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta for the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program.

Mall Walkers trek nearly 7,000 km to set program record Participants in a local Alberta Health Services' (AHS) walking program logged a combined 6,803 km this winter, the distance between Camrose and London, England.

“Our 68 participants worked very hard all season long,” says AHS respiratory therapist Lora Miller, who helps organize the Duggan Mall Walkers program. “Congratulations to all participants, volunteers and community partners who helped to make this program such a success.”

The program encourages individuals to maintain a walking program over the winter months, and avoid ice and snow, by walking laps around the Duggan Mall Shopping Centre.

The program’s recently completed fifth season was named Going for Gold and aimed to have participants walk collectively more than 15,800 laps, a total of 6,800 km – the distance between Camrose and London, England, site of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

Previously the program’s

most successful season was 2008-09, when participants walked a total of 5,387 kms.

Among the top walkers this season: Fran Winczura (1,238 laps), Christina Selin (1,066) and Mildred McConnery (1,008). Each lap is about two-fifths of a kilometre.

“I really enjoy the program,” said McConnery. “It gives me motivation to get out in the mornings, and I really enjoy the companionship.”

“The program offers a blend of fun and fitness,” adds kine-

siologist Nadine MacMillan.

“Walking is a safe and effective way to get active and stay fit, and is one of the easiest ways to add exercise to a daily routine.”

Walking also delivers many health benefits including decreasing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure and improving circulation; increasing heart rate and strengthening heart, lungs, and muscles; keeping bones strong and healthy; increasing energy and endurance; and improving sleep.

More than 300 people have taken part in the winter walking program since it began in 2008.

Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than 3.7 million adults and children living in Alberta. Its mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.

PHOTO CLASSIFIED ADS

A picture is worth 1,000 words!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Location: Public Works Yards, 4202-51 Avenue, Camrose City of Camrose Public Works Department – Phone 780-672-5513 Now is the opportunity to clean out all those half-empty containers that may be dangerous if dumped down the drain, poured on the ground, or even sent to the Camrose Landfill.

Every householder uses products in the house and garden containing chemicals that are hazardous when disposed of improperly. Mixed together in landfills, these chemicals can be dangerous – to the workers and to the environment. Camrose Household Hazardous Waste Round-Up will be held on Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16, 2012 at the PUBLIC WORKS YARDS. Keep your materials in their original containers. If the container is broken or cracked, place it inside leak-proof package and label it.

If you discover jars or cans of unidentified chemicals, take them to the Round-Up and tell a staff person you are unsure of the contents.

Any container that cautions about careful use of the product or disposal of the container should be included in the Hazardous Waste Round-Up. All the materials collected at the Hazardous Waste Round-Up will be collected, classified, manifested, packed and transported by trained personnel and taken to the Alberta Special Waste Management Facility near Swan Hills where the waste will be taken for proper treatment and disposal. The cost of treatment will be borne by Alberta Environment.

BRCF will recognize Alan and Valerie Fielding Oct. 19

By Dan Jensen The Battle River Community Foundation will pay tribute to Alan and Valerie Fielding at its annual Camrose Community Builders Dinner Friday, October 19.

The Fieldings have contributed their time and efforts to many volunteer organizations over the years.

"They are both talented musicians and strong supporters of choral music," said BRCF director David Ofrim June 6.

Valerie is a retired professor at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, while Alan is a successful Camrose lawyer who has served as president of several organizations, including the Camrose Rotary Club, local branches of the Red Cross and Kidney Foundation, Camrose Concert Series, Battle River Community Foundation and Sahakarini Inter-World Education and Development Association.

The couple has three children who are very accomplished in their own rights.

The Fieldings see the Battle River Community Foundation as a good conduit through which individuals and organizations can give back to their community.

"It's the best way I know to benefit the community in general," said Alan.

The Camrose Community Builders Dinner was started eight years ago to honour and celebrate local heroes who have given elbow grease, time and commitment, and shown leadership in making their community a better place. Joe and Phyllis Voytechek were honoured at the first dinner in 2004, followed

by Bill and Berdie Fowler in 2005, Red and Fran Elliott in 2006, Arlene and Alver Person in 2007, Bitz O'Riordan in 2008, Bernie and Jeanette Boser in 2009, Dave and Gail Stolee in 2010, and Norman and Betty Mayer in 2011.

"Those who accept this honour do so reluctantly, as they do not seek attention for the good works they do," said Ofrim.

"They will receive well-deserved accolades but, also, become the targets of some good-natured ribbing. This is a feel good evening and we very much appreciate the opportunity to trade on their good names."

Tickets for the Community Builders Dinner, which will be held at the Norsemen Inn, will be made available in August.

"It's the Foundation's flagship celebration," said Ofrim. "It helps create public awareness of what this group does with the generous help from all of you."
