on accommodations erected and maintained by humans. Many examples of the condominium-style communal Martin housing can now be seen on public and private property in and around Camrose. Thanks to these compassionate efforts, up to 200 pairs of Martins now arrive in the City of Camrose each spring from South America to breed and fledge their young!

Like an increasing number of individuals and organizations, Rod Ross is interested in helping the beloved Purple Martins species return in abundance to Camrose and area. When the European Starling and the English House Sparrow were introduced by mankind to North America in the 1800s their aggressive behavior resulted in Martins being driven from their usual habitat and a high percentage of newly hatched chicks being killed. By the 1980s the species had all but disappeared. Today, for their survival, Martins are almost exclusively dependent
The 4th Annual Purple Martin Festival, sponsored by Rod’s company, Ross Agri, and Alberta Conservation Association, will be a wealth of information for aspiring, novice or experienced Martin “landlords.” Exciting scientific data will be released which will offer details of a Purple Martin whose annual round trip migration means a mind-boggling flight of over 21,000 kilometres! The Camrose Wildlife and Stewardship Society and the organizers of the Purple Martin Festival welcome you to this family-oriented day of learning and activities.

Marshall Chalmers won't seek re-election By Dan Jensen
Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers will be waging a bigger battle this fall than the municipal election. Mayor Chalmers has learned from his medical team and oncologist he needs to undergo another round of treatment for cancer. "Anybody who has been through this knows it takes a lot of stuff out of you," said Chalmers in a meeting with members of the Camrose press June 13. "It takes your get up and go out of you a little bit and I just don't think I can serve the public in the fashion I want to serve the public. If I can't do that then I think it is important for myself and for the public to let somebody
else step up that can give it their all. It is sad (that I am not able to continue) because I really enjoy serving the public. That has been my whole life." Chalmers hopes there is a good slate of candidates who put their names forward for the mayor's job. "That is healthy for the community," he said. "That is democracy. It is healthy for the community to have a lot of people step forward who are prepared to give their time to try to make the community better. I am so fortunate I had that opportunity." Mayor Chalmers is happy with the way every member of council brought their views to the table over the past three years
and dealt with the tough issues that were placed before them. "As mayor I tried to allow council maybe more than I should have. I allowed everybody not only to have a say but a second say, where we all had good debate. We just didn't ram something through. It was good debate and I allowed each council member to have their say. We agreed in principle in Roadmap to 2015 to what our priorities were on the capital side but once you get into banging around the internal nitty gritty of things everybody is going to have thoughts on how things are going to work, and everyone brings different values and points of view. I have no issues with dissenting members of council. That is what it is
about and we should never be afraid to stand up and say what we think." Mayor Chalmers feels the City of Camrose has a lot going for it with two different railroad lines, which were instrumental in attracting the new Cargill development, and the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta. "There are many communities that would love to have the University of Alberta in their back yard, so it is important we continue that relationship. As you can see we are moving forward, holding hands with them on the performing arts centre. It is a community facility but the university has really stepped up in a big way."
Marshall Chalmers said the City of Camrose needs to start paying more attention to the airport and look at new ways of capitalizing on what it has to offer. "What if we joined hands with the County and this airport became a regional airport? What would that open us up to? That is an area that we as council and future councils really need to buckle down." Marshall Chalmers concluded by suggesting council should do whatever it takes to make sure Camrose remains senior friendly. "These are the great resources and people that this community is built on. We just have to keep that in mind as we continue to grow."
Camrose grocery scene may have a different look By Dan Jensen
Camrose and area shoppers were surprised last week with the news of Sobey Inc.’s takeover of Canada Safeway. "I was actually stunned when they said Sobeys had bought Safeway," said Vicki Olson. "My first thought was it the other way around, that Safeway's had bought Sobeys." Olson said while she shops mostly at Co-op, she enjoys the Safeway bakery and fresh fruit departments. "I am usually going there for stuff in their bake shop. "I'm hoping that they are able to maintain the same quality." Andrea Uglem is like thousands of other shoppers who are wondering what is going to happen to the Sobeys and Safeway stores. "I hope they keep the Safeway store open like it is now," said Uglem. "The quality of the products and the staff who are there are really nice. I always go to the Safeway bakery and they have really good deli meat." A wholly-owned subsidiary of Empire Company Limited, Sobeys owns or franchises more than 1,300 stores in all 10 provinces under retail banners that include Sobeys, IGA, Foodland, FreshCo, and Thrifty Foods, as well as Lawton's Drug Stores, in addition to over 260 retail fuel locations. Sobey's and its franchise affiliates employ more than 95,000 people. The company's goal is to be widely recognized as the best food retailer and workplace environment in Canada. Paul D. Sobey, president and CEO of Empire, said in a Sobeys press release last week the acquisition of Canada Safeway represents an excellent strategic fit, "strengthening our presence in Western Canada with the addition of great employees, excellent stores and exceptional real estate. "The acquisition allows us to leverage our existing assets and in turn position Sobeys to compete even more effectively within the changing, and increasingly competitive, grocery retail landscape. Empire is committed to continuing its focus on food retailing and related real estate assets and will continue to own 100 percent of Sobeys which will be a stronger food company with excellent growth prospects." The assets to be purchased by Sobeys include the following: 213 full service grocery stores under the Safeway banner in Western Canada; 199 in-store pharmacies with market leading productivity; 62 co-located fuel stations; 10 liquor stores; four primary distribution centres and related wholesale business; and 12 manufacturing facilities. Sobeys management believes the acquisition will significantly enhance Sobeys scale, while creating an opportunity to realize meaningful synergies and earnings accretion. Canada Safeway has a store network totaling approximately nine million square feet in sought-after locations, of which over 60 per cent is located in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg. For the 52-week period ended this past March 23, Canada Safeway generated approximately $6.7 billion of sales.

Mr Mikes Steakhouse to open in 2014 By Murray Green
When Mr Mikes SteakhouseCasual thought about expanding throughout Western Canada, Camrose was near the top of the list to open in 2014. The relaxed-style of restaurant is very popular in B.C. and is evolving in Alberta with locations such as West Edmonton Mall, Bonnyville and Camrose. CEO Mike Cordoba of RAMMP Hospitality Brands is excited about building a new facility along 48 Avenue in front of Hauser Home Hardware and Building Centre. "We try to find the best location possible. The location beside the major box stores fits us because we have the same customers. We really like the site." The restaurant prefers the stand-alone construction. "We serve high quality food at great value. Mr Mikes Steakhouse appeals to anyone looking for a casual dining experience," said Mike. "We also have our UrbanLodge bar for people to sample house brews and enjoy exclusive wines."
Mr Mikes is more than just a restaurant. "We like to get involved within the communities that we are in. We are going into smaller centres like Bonnyville and Camrose because we view them as vibrant communities. We enjoy being part of a growing community that people are excited about living in," said Mike. "Camrose has the perfect demographics for us and a good economy. We are community focused and we will support the local sports teams. We will become part of Camrose and our goal is to have people think of Mr Mike when they want a good steak or meal." Mr Mikes mission is to provide a comfortable come as you are atmosphere with high quality steaks and burgers at affordable prices. "The restaurant was started in 1960 with its first restaurant on Granville Street in Vancouver," recalled Mike. "It has evolved from a popular, selfservice restaurant to an awardwinning, mid-range, casual dining chain. "We think Camrose is a Mr
Mikes city. Our restaurant is suitable for all walks of life. We ask people to come as they are and enjoy the meals and the good times," said Mike. "We like the city because of the development and the fact that it is going to grow with us. It is fun opening a new restaurant because we like to use as many local tradesmen as possible and inject something into the local economy as well. It is very rewarding to hire people from the community to join us and be successful. Our approach is to have a local franchise manager. We are in the process of selecting that person. In the end we want 60 to 80 employees." The restaurant would have 200 seats, 140 in the restaurant. It could also have additional patio space. "We continually strive to improve and get better," said Mike. "We love the instant feedback in today's world. We take it seriously, so we can find ways to continue to improve to make our customers happy." Continued on page 16

Mayor Marshall Chalmers provided the following statement to the media, City council members and City staff last week. Two and a half years ago I returned to public life by being elected to serve the City of Camrose as Mayor. This role came after completing thirtyone years in policing followed by an intense personal battle against cancer for an additional eighteen months. I believed then (and still do), that strong leadership was required to create change to move this city forward. Under my leadership council shifted the city focus to concentrate more on economic development, through the lens of fiscal responsibility. Now the time has come to make a decision regarding my future in municipal politics. Back in October 2010 the first order of business was the budget. As promised, the budget went under the microscope. This methodical process resulted in literally hundreds of thousands of dollars being pulled from the capital budget as two revenue streams, the Land Fund and Off- site Levies were identified as requiring a complete and thorough review. Next a citizen-engaged “Road Map to 2015” was created to guide the city. Our mandate became:
– stronger Economic Development, – redefined Capital Projects, – implementing a Core Service Review, – new emphasis on having an Engaged and Informed Community. In 2011 council agreed that new leadership was required to meet council’s agenda of all listed priorities. We strived to bring back a superior customer service attitude to every level of City administration and department. Damian Herle was hired as our new Chief Administrative Officer. At present, an extensive core service review is well under way which, when finished, will not only ensure all services are being provided effectively and efficiently but will allow our “small town thinking of how we provide services to move to a larger city way of doing business.” Our goal and objective is enhanced customer relationships and maximum efficiency. Council’s role will and should be defined as policy makers. It will be dependent upon management to follow established policy. It is my observation that council members too frequently get bombarded with operational issues which, in fact, should fall squarely on the shoulders of the CAO and management team.
Also under way is a complete review and re-write of the Land Use Bylaw. This is a huge undertaking but the newly created Municipal Planning Advisory Committee, Council and Administration collectively agreed and supported this initiative as the current document has outlived its usefulness. The new Land Use Bylaw will support, enhance and assist development and business in the city. Shifting to Capital projects, council established a new vision which determined a collaborative project between the University of Alberta, Province and County – the Performing Arts. A complete review of possible City Hall locations was completed and the LEED Certification was removed from the project which will result in substantial long term savings. Our practical new City Hall was approved to be built. These projects are both currently in the construction phase. Public Works has been pledged a new home in the future. Funding of each of these three facilities was achieved by developing a new capital cash flow stream/time line document that will have minimal impact to the rate payer. (approx. 4 million dollars on a total of approximately 50 million dollars’ worth of projects over a span of 5 years). Continued on page 9

Battle River Community Foundation introduced Dana Andreassen as its new executive director June 5. Andreassen attended elementary, junior and senior high school in Camrose before going on to university, where she received her Bachelor of Law degree in 1987. After working as an associate at what is now known as Andreassen Borth Barristers and Solicitors, she left private legal practice to serve as executive assistant to the Honourable Ken Rostad when he was Attorney General, Minister of Justice and Minister of Intergovernmental Relations. She left government service in 1996 when Judge Rostad chose to retire from political office. Her only time not associated directly with this part of the province was from 1997 to 2002 when she served as advisor to the president of the University of Lethbridge. In 2003 she returned to Camrose to Augustana University College on a short term con-
Dana Andreassen
tract to determine the best future for Augustana and, in turn, how to attain that future. She just retired as assistant dean, administration, of Augustana Faculty. Andreassen was not interested in committing to full-time work but also knew that she was not ready for full-time retirement, so, along with 11 other hopefuls,
applied for the position of executive director of BRCF. "We chose Dana because of her vast administrative experience and the fact that she knew every detail of our operation, having just completed the maximum of three consecutive three-year terms on our board," said BRCF board chair Blain Fowler. "She offered a combination of understanding of the community, of the foundation's mission and business, and of administrative practices that will benefit the Foundation over the next five years or more." BRCF's previous executive director, Kerry Grettum, decided to retire after four years of dedicated service to the Foundation. "It was a pleasure for me and the other members of the board to work with Kerry during his time in this role," said Fowler. "We came to know and respect him as a true gentleman in every respect. We wish him and his wife, Dora, many years of peace and happiness as they enjoy their well-earned retirement."
Rotary Club shows pride in country
by Berdie Fowler
Days to Celebrate Change On June 21 we will celebrate Aboriginal Day; on June 27 we will mark Multicultural Day; and on July 1 – our country’s birthday – we plan to pop the fireworks to observe Canada Day. Since its formation as the Dominion of Canada on July 1, 1967, our country has expanded from four provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Upper Canada and Lower Canada) to ten provinces and three Territories stretching from Atlantic to Pacific to Arctic coasts. During that time Canada has also changed culturally. Originally it was populated by Aboriginal people, then by mostly British and French explorers who were followed by immigrants, the majority of whom were from Britain and France first, then later from other European countries. Out of this mix came two official languages: English and French, enforced by a law which is in effect to this day. Since confederation in 1867, Canada has experienced influences of Aboriginal culture, a period of bilingualism and biculturalism and, more recently, multiculturalism. Today, encouraged by Canada’s immigration policies, our nation is comprised of people from around the world with many different historical, racial, religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In 2010, 45% of immigrants to Canada came from the Philippines, India and People’s Republic of China. Others came from other parts of the world including the Middle East and Africa. The majority of Canada’s population is now of neither British nor French origin. Canada’s Multiculturalism Act and parts of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were not “shoved down our throats” as some would have us believe; their enactment followed a shift in public opinion regarding immigration – not surprising when Canada from its very beginning has been populated by immigrants and we saw that it was good. In my humble opinion, Canada stands as an exemplary model of how peoples of such vast diversity can live together amicably, with commitment to democracy, equality and mutual respect. Our own lives are richly enhanced when we befriend those who are in some ways different – the greatest revelation is the discovery that we are all very much alike, with similar hopes and aspirations for peaceful co-existence and a fulfilling life. Let’s think on these things on Aboriginal Day, Multiculturalism Day and July 1, and, if possible, participate in the special festivities that mark the occasions!
Don Forestier proudly waves his Canadian flag on the street where he lives to promote Canada Day. By Murray Green
The Rotary Club of Camrose Daybreak wants local residents to be proud of their community and country this summer. Rotary decided to instill pride within the city by doing a little flag waving. Members want to see flags in front of every house to show off the Canadian colours. "We install a Canadian flag on your front lawn for the entire long weekend," said past president Don Forestier. "At the end of the weekend, we pick them up again and you don't have to do any work. We (Rotary members) install and collect them." Rotary wants Camrose residents to fly the flags on the Canada Day weekend and the Labour Day weekend. "Our first weekend to fly flags was on the May long weekend and that went well. However, we want a lot more flags flying on Canada Day," said Don. "For the service, we charge $50. The funds go to the Rotary club and to the various projects in the community. The money raised will be staying in Camrose for those projects."
The projects include building wheelchair ramps, education for the Learning Together program (young moms) and various other needs. "So aesthetically, what you are doing for $50 a year is renting the use of a Canadian flag. You don't have to worry about installation, take down or maintenance," explained Don. "We love Canada. We live in a special community and a great country, so the members thought we should do some flag waving. Camrose is a great place to live and this is our way of showing that we appreciate don't have flags, or a place to store them. This solves that problem and it makes the community look great too." The Rotary Club has received a lot of phone calls since the flags first went up in May. "Everyone wants to know where we got them and how they can fly them as well," added Don. "There are a number of people that we haven't got to yet about asking if they want flags. They have been phoning their neighbours and inquiring. The May long weekend was a good trial for us. The really big
push to have more flags will be before Canada Day." Australia, Sweden and Canada were named the top three countries to live in throughout the world. "It is so cool to see all of the Canadian flags flying. Camrose is the best kept secret, in my opinion, in Canada," Don said. "Our city is kept clean and you look around at how green it is. It is just a great place to love and be part of the community." Camrose is a caring community that looks after its residents. "We have a good age mix in this province and especially our city. We have a great hospital, sports facilities, university and arts. I have a hard time stopping talking about Camrose," laughed Don. "Sometimes people drive through with no intentions of doing anything here and they say, what a great spot. We are so central to everything like Edmonton, Red Deer and the airport." For more information, or to order your flag in time for the Canada Day long weekend contact Don at 780-679-7232.

Mayor Chalmers happy with record over last three years Continued from page 7
Financial stabilization was also achieved by establishing set parameters for operational reserves. It should be noted that off- site levies, which are a common sore point for developers, have not increased during this term. The single most important issue for our community and others is ample water supply. After numerous conversations and meetings with the Minister of Environment and Sustainable Resources and the Minister of Transportation and their staff, our city is set to acquire a long term sustainable water agreement which will allow for 25 years growth. This is a remarkable step in our prosperous future. Our current license accommodates a population of up to 22,000 people, maximum. The present arrangement includes our agreement of assistance to the County in supplying water to select communities outside City boundaries. Our newly negotiated deal accommodates the anticipated growth of Camrose
over the next quarter-century. It also considers the necessary water allocation to Cargill for the soon to be constructed largest single line Canola Crushing Plant in North America. This world-class facility will be handling/processing an expected 100-120 B-train semi-trucks of canola each day. This is great news for our agricultural area. This project will also sustain 50-60 full time jobs once completed and substantially more during construction. Another indicator of city growth is that all available land situated in the Mohler Industrial property has been sold. Switching over to community engagement, you all are aware of the numerous public engagements which have been held in this current term of office. “Coffee with the Mayor” was initiated to give the public a real opportunity to visit and discuss issues or concerns in a very relaxed atmosphere. In addition to tending to the typical responsibilities of being your Mayor: - council allowed me
to serve on the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association, - I provided guidance on the Safe and Healthy Communities Committee, - I participated on two committees of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities: the Safe Communities and Social Economic Development. These committees allow a local voice at the Provincial and Federal level. So, as you can see, substantial positive change has been created and a solid base has been laid to allow the City of Camrose to confidently and assuredly move forward. Our current fiscal position is very positive as currently reported by our auditors and demonstrates and highlights all the excellent work by our administration and council. Now, allow me to discuss my intent for the future. While I would have enjoyed another exciting and healthy democratic election process and the opportunity to serve you as your Mayor for another term, I have made the difficult decision not to let my name stand for re-election. Work-
ing with my medical team I am presently preparing for round two of my battle with cancer. (I plan on winning). I felt that declaring publicly my medical challenges and the decision I have made not to run will allow ample time for those with aspirations to the mayor’s chair to begin their own planning for the fall election. This doesn’t mean I won’t be engaged in opportunities. At this juncture, I feel it is most prudent for me to temporarily step back until optimum health is regained. In summary, I wish to thank all Camrosians for your trust in me to serve as your mayor. It has been a privilege to play a role in moving this city forward. Thank you to my wife, Deb and my entire family for your support during my term as Mayor. I will continue serving you full time and moving our business forward until the election in October. Good luck to all candidates this fall. We have a beautiful city. Let’s continue the positive and progressive work to keep it that way. Marshall Chalmers

Local teams shine at Camrose Night Classic tournament By Murray Green
The Camrose U14 girls X-Statics and the U18 Voytechek girls both were crowned champions at the Camrose Night Classic soccer tournament on June 7 to 9. X-Statics won the division they were in with wins over Viking, Sherwood Park and Stettler to advance to the gold/ silver playoff game against the Vermilion Strikers. The final game ended in a 0-0 tie and a shoot-out had to determine the winner. The team was coached by Don Hutchinson, Lauren
Trentham, Brianna Schultz and Kirby Fowler. Athabasca received the bronze medals. "I was really pleased with how the girls played. Everyone got excited for the tournament and played well. The organizers did a good job," said Don. "I was nervous in the shoot-out, but our goalie only let in one goal all weekend." In the other U14 girls division, Edson reaped the gold, Camrose Vermeer collected the silver and Sylvan Lake was awarded the bronze. The U18 Voytechek girls ended up first in their pool with
teams from Sherwood Park, Rimbey and Wainwright. The Weston Voytechek coached team beat Lac La Biche 4-0 in the final game. The Edson Strikers placed third. In the U12 girls' first division Edson won gold, Sherwood Park earned silver and Vegreville received bronze. Lac La Biche Lightning captured the gold, Bonnyville grabbed the silver and Camrose Cowan received bronze medals. Camrose Thompson reached the final before dropping a game against Beaumont. The local
team played well to earn silver medals in the U12 boys' first division. Stettler placed third. The other Stettler squad captured the gold, Edson collected the silver and Vermilion came in third in the second division. In the U14 boys' first division, Bonnyville defeated Camrose Hohm in the final match to give them gold medals and the host club received silver honours. Bentley took home the bronze medals. Camrose Preza U14 boys earned silver medals in the second division after facing Lac La Biche
in the final game. Vegreville was awarded the bronze medals. In the U16 girls' category, Rocky Mountain House came in first, Edmonton placed second and Edson finished third. Camrose Wrubleski received bronze medals in the U16 boys' group. Whitecourt earned gold and Athabasca collected silver. In the U18 boys' division, Athabasca won gold, Rimbey collected silver and Vegreville received bronze medals.

Fire heated up the fun at Stoney Creek Centre By Samara Froland, Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society summer coordinator
What could be better than roasting marshmallows, listening to stories and live music, and playing games? “Fire It Up” was held on the evening of June 6 at the Stoney Creek Centre in Camrose. This campfire event was organized by Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society’s (CWSS) summer coordinator. The event started with a fun game of Two Truths and a Lie to get everyone involved. Each person took their turn to say three “facts” about themselves, one of which was
false. Everyone else guessed which of the three “facts” was a lie. Paul (Sparky) Johnson, a drama professor from University of Alberta, Augustana Campus, told an Aesop’s fable and a Native American story. “They were extremely interesting stories made even better by the storyteller’s excellent presentation,” said Laura Larson, a community member and campfire enthusiast. Music was provided by local guitarists Brittany Lehman and Corbin Emslie, members of the Brittany Catherine Band. Larson described them as “a great local
band with amazing talent.” “I was really interested to hear songs they had written themselves.” “It was great to get to know some of the members of the community,” the campfire enthusiast added. Wild Rose Co-op donated the ingredients for the S’mores. For future CWSS events there will be coffee and doughnuts graciously supplied by Tim Hortons. “Fire It Up” was the second out of a total of 11 CWSS events that have been planned for the summer. On June 20, at 7 p.m., at the Stoney Creek Centre, there will be another presentation.

Purple martin festival June 23
Submitted
Purple martin landlords, from Camrose and surrounding area, are eagerly waiting to hear exciting news from Dr. Glen Hvenegaard, professor of geography and environmental science, University of Alberta, Augustana Campus, on Sunday, June 23. The professor/researcher will be one of the speakers at the Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Centre for the fourth annual Purple Martin Festival. His presentation will include the release of data garnished from last summer’s geo-locator project involving Dr. Kevin Fraser, York University, Toronto, and local martins. Data retrieved from a returning female bird suggest purple martins who call our area “home” for up to four months each year, where they come to breed, nest and fledge their young, are now proven to have mind-boggling migration paths and habits. Providing a hint of data to follow, Dr. Hvenegaard reports that York University scientists have never before discovered such a long migration route by a purple martin – a total round trip of over 21,000 kilometres. Last June, 51 purple martins from three different colonies in the Camrose area and additional condominium-styled martin houses at the Ellis Bird Farm near Lacombe, were individually captured for a few minutes and outfitted with a “backpack nickelsized, lightweight light level geolocator.” This instrument, developed by York University, upon retrieval identifies daily movements of the bird. The first returning backpacking martin was a bird that had been caught, banded and outfitted at the Ellis Bird Farm on June 13, 2012. After spending our winter months in the state of Para, Brazil, she returned to her Alberta home on May 15. After recapture of the device she wore for nearly a year it was couriered to Toronto and analyzed by Dr. Fraser and his team. The annual Purple Martin Festival, Camrose, like the hobby itself, has grown in popularity with each passing year. This year, as a result of gaining a corporate sponsor in Ross Agri, promises to be more informative
than ever before. Keynote speaker will be Myrna Pearman of the Ellis Bird Farm. Educational sessions will be offered for aspiring and seasoned purple martin landlords. The day will include a bus tour to an active martin colony in the city of Camrose. Youngsters will be entertained by professional storyteller Glenys Smith. Purple martin expert, Peggy Shuman, will provide hands-on learning/nestbuilding demonstration for youth and kids will be given a bird house to paint and take home. An escorted, educational nature walking tour in the scenic Stoney Creek Valley is also an option for guests. Registration and the display booths starts at 9:30 a.m. Keynote speaker Myrna Pearmon and children painting a birdhouse begins at 10 a.m. The breakout panel for beginners, advanced martin keepers and making a purple martin nest sessions are slated for 11 a.m. After lunch, geolocator data sharing is the topic with Glen Hvenegaard and story telling with Glenys Smith starts at 1 p.m. The walking and bus tour begins at 2 p.m. For more information about the June 23 Purple Martin Festival in Camrose go to www.tourismcamrose.com.feature-events/ purple-martin-festival/ or email U of A Augustana Campus professor Dr. Glen Hvenegaard at glen.hvenegaard@ualberta.ca.

Habitat for Humanity chooses new family
Kevin Ferguson
Murray Green, Camrose Booster
Cody McCarroll, left, and Dallas Johnston helped paint the walls of the new Habitat for Humanity home project in Camrose. By Murray Green
Dallas Johnston will soon have a new address. "I can't believe how fast this is happening," said an excited Dallas. "It is a huge dream come true. I was trying to put away $200 a month and maybe in five years I would have enough for a down payment on a house. However, it is almost impossible to have that extra $200 to be able to put away." Dallas signed the agreement papers with Camrose Habitat for Humanity on June 12 and she could be moved into her new home by the end of the month. "My parents were reading the ad in the Camrose Booster in February to go to a seminar at a church and told me that this sounds perfect for you," said Dallas. "I just signed the paperwork and now this is happening." Dallas and her seven-yearold daughter Farren love the location. "We have been talking about moving her over to Grade 3 at St. Patrick School for next year. Now we are a block and a half away. It is absolutely the perfect
location for where we want to be," she said. "It will be quiet here compared to where we live now." Dallas is a sales person at Konto's Furniture and Sofaland. "I have been there for a little over a year and a half now," informed Dallas. In her spare time Dallas will be putting sweat equity hours into her home, at the Habitat Restore and on a future build in the community. "I want to be part of everything in helping build my home. You can help n accounting if you don't want to do the heavy lifting. I can work at the store, or help with the neighbour's build. The good thing about the hours is that it doesn't have to be done in the next two weeks on my home. I can stretch it out over a longer period of time." The new owner has 500 hours of volunteer work to complete the agreement with habitat for Humanity. "The family has to complete the 500 hours. She could have her friends and family contribute hours for her. The idea is that we don't build houses for families, but we partner
with them," said Cody McCarroll, executive director for Camrose Habitat for Humanity. "Even if I was done my hours on my home, I would still want to help someone else," added Dallas. "I won't have a problem because I'm ambitious and want to help people." Cody said the home will be completed as early as the end of June and the latest mid-July. "We will be starting another project next April that Dallas can help with if she still has hours left," he said. "We also encourage people to volunteer in the community. A certain percentage of their sweat hours can be done within the community as well. We promote volunteerism in general." The options make it easier for people to complete the 500 hours. "It helps a lot, because I was thinking how am I going to get 500 hours in when the home could be finished in two or three weeks," Dallas said. "Considering how fast this house went up, I was thinking how can I do this. But, over a year will be no problem." The duplex east of Banack's
Body Shop is the 23rd and 24th build for Camrose Habitat for Humanity. "Our first build was back in 1997. We contributed funds to about 30 more in the developing world. It is a vibrant building program here," said Cody. "We take pride in the fact we build a home every year. We try to help two families in need each year." Camrose Habitat is not usually compressed into such a tight time frame. "We had lots of applicants, but we had issues along the way. There is always a need within the community. It is a matter of selecting the right family," explained Cody. "We made the right choice with Dallas and are thrilled with her attitude on helping us." Habitat will be deciding on a family for the other side of the duplex soon. "We are also working on announcing the families for the next build in the spring," said Cody. "We will be going back to our normal time lines, so the families can help right from the beginning of the build to the end."
BRSD hosting information session for candidates Diane Hutchinson BRSD Communications
It’s an election year in Alberta and Battle River School Division is hoping to help people get ready. The school division is hosting an information session on the evening of Thursday, June 20, featuring guest speaker Jacquie Hansen, a school board trustee from St. Albert and current President of the Alberta School Boards Association. Ms. Hansen will discuss the roles, responsibilities, rewards and challenges that come with being elected to serve on a school board, as well as answering questions from those in attendance. The session will take place from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Daysland School. Anyone considering putting his or her name
forward for election is encouraged to attend. Board passes tough budget
The BRSD Board of Trustees passed a spring budget for the 2013-2014 school year on May 23, after a thorough review of the options and financial challenges facing the school division in the year ahead. Due to a reduction of more than $600,000 in Plant Operations and Maintenance funding, as announced in the March 7 provincial budget, the school division is reducing the number of maintenance staff, consolidating service into fewer shops, asking schools to close off classrooms that aren’t required and shifting its emphasis to preventive maintenance and emergency repairs. The Board will be writing a letter to Alberta’s Minister of
Education and each of the local MLAs who serve Battle River, expressing concern about the implications of this funding change. In addition, the Board will be writing a similar letter requesting reinstatement of a fuel contingency grant that was dropped by the province this spring. The grant, which was intended to assist school boards in paying for school bus fuel when gas and diesel prices increase, also represents a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the school division. Other budget changes for next year include adjustments in staffing at the school division office, a reduction in board expenses and no salary increases for any staff or board member. School calendar change
Battle River School Division has recently become aware that a first-time-ever event will be taking place within its borders next fall and will be changing the school calendar slightly as a result. The first-ever Tour of Alberta cycling road race will be held September 3 to 8, 2013. It covers more than 800 km and visits about 50 Alberta communities. The race will receive international media coverage and thousands of spectators are expected to be cheering racers at numerous locations along their path. On the first day of rural road racing, September 4, the bike race will travel a number of roads in BRSD, causing potential disruption of bus routes. As a result, all schools and work sites will close at lunch time on that day.

Record number of Aboriginal grads at Augustana convocation By Petra Cegielny
A record number of Métis and First Nations students received their degrees and joined the University of Alberta’s alumni family at Augustana’s convocation ceremony June 2, 2013. Eight graduates declared their Aboriginal ancestry and most elected to participate in an honouring ceremony on stage to recognize and honour the students’ academic accomplishments. Augustana was privileged to have Dr. Wilton Littlechild, a member of the Ermineskin Cree Nation, on stage to perform the honouring ceremony. He also had the opportunity to present an offering to his youngest daughter, who followed in her father’s footsteps and earned an undergraduate degree majoring in physical education. An alumnus with three U of A degrees of his own, Chief Littlechild has the distinction of being the first Treaty First Nations person to acquire a U of A law degree. In 2007, he was bestowed an honorary doctor of laws degree by the U of A for his many outstanding achievements including the passionate work he has done to advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples. Métis student Anastasia Evarts from Whitecourt, Alta., crossed the stage to receive a bachelor of arts degree in psychology. Anastasia will be continuing her educational journey in September at Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S., where she has been accepted into a three-year master’s program in speech-language pathology. “I will never forget my experience at Augustana,” Anastasia said. “Augustana has shaped me into the person I am today. Because of Augustana, I was accepted into the graduate program I wanted and am happy with myself as a person. I have made so many wonderful friends who taught me about life and relationships. Augustana’s staff and professors are truly amazing. They have helped me in so

many ways and opened my mind to so many new possibilities.” Over the past four years, Anastasia has been an active member of Augustana’s Aboriginal community. In addition to volunteering at numerous Aboriginal Student Office events, she served as one of the campus’s two Aboriginal student mentors. “I have learned so much and grown so much as a Métis woman because of Augustana, and learned that I am not alone in exploring my culture,” she said. This year she was also

very involved in the campus Triathlon Club. Kasandra Baumann from Pigeon Lake, Alta., who also graduated with a BA majoring in psychology, plans to study neuropsychology in graduate school after a year of travel and spending time with friends and family. Some of her favourite memories of Augustana include her involvement with the Psychology Club, watching basketball and, of course, hitting the bell of the centenary sculpture to signify her last day of class.
“I came to Augustana scared to leave my small town, family and friends,” Kasandra said. “However, I found a new family at Augustana. I felt welcomed and at home during my time here and will be sad when September rolls around and I am not returning. I have met lifelong friends, including professors and other staff members, and will be forever grateful for the experience I had during my time here.” Justine Louis calls Hobbema, Alta., home and is a proud member of the Samson Cree Nation. A talented artist, Justine realized her goal of obtaining a BA in visual art and now has set her sights on travelling the world before working toward a master’s in fine arts. With so many favourite memories from her time at Augustana, Justine didn’t know where to begin, but confided, “Watching the faculty entertain the student body at the Faculty Follies made me laugh – and showed a softer side of the professors we work with all year…. Getting wild at the bashes with my friends, and overwhelmingly late nights in the studio, are things I’ll never forget.” To new students beginning their studies in September, Justine said, “If you’re excited for— or at least open to—the idea of independence, learning and meeting new people, you’re going to love it here!” “Experience of a lifetime” is how Métis student Pamela Billey from Smoky Lake, Alta., described her time at Augustana. Graduating with a BA in environmental studies, Pamela plans to become a certified environmentalist and agrologist. “Take opportunities as they arise and never hold back,” is her advice to incoming students. “Do what you love and are passionate about; enjoy every moment for what it’s worth, good and bad.” Graduating with a bachelor of science in mathematics and physics, Métis student Allysa
Dean Allen Berger presents a diploma to Mariah St. Germain.
Fraser plans to put the skills she’s learned at Augustana to use by studying environmental law to “help save the planet.” Originally from Whitehorse, Yukon, Allysa was a co-founder and president of the Augustana Math Club. “The club had many events that allowed us to learn about interesting topics we would never have seen in our classes: poker, sudoku, math in pop culture.” She says the club was a lot of fun and allowed her to meet and socialize with people who shared similar interests. She hopes that many students in the future will be able to do the same. When asked what emotions she might feel when crossing
“I have learned so much and grown so much as a Métis woman because of Augustana, and learned that I am not alone in exploring my culture." the stage at graduation, Allysa said, “Pride in all of my hard work, sadness for having to close such a wonderful chapter of my life, and excitement for what the future brings.” For drama major Mariah St. Germain, touring with the choir through Hungary, helping to co-ordinate Residence Services’ annual Rocky Road Ice Cream Fantasy event, Augustana’s 2011 Round Dance, and the opportunity to workshop The Black Rider are among the fond memories she will take away after graduation. Originally from Wetaskiwin, Alta., Mariah is excited to be continuing her journey by heading east to pursue a master’s in creative art therapy at Concordia University in Montreal. She attributes at least part of her success to the positive influences and role models at Augustana. She describes her time at Augustana as a “complete education with, honestly, so many wonderful people and genuine faculty and staff” and encourages new students to get involved in every capacity they can. “Embrace new opportunity,” she said. “Augustana is a safe and caring community to be a part of, so go nuts!” Mariah admits feeling a bit anxious that she might trip on her way across the convocation stage, but also says she expects to feel pride, joy and excitement—as well as a bit of relief knowing that her degree is now done. In terms of the honouring ceremony, she said, “Receiving an eagle feather at convocation will be a huge honour. It will give me a sense of connection to my community on and off campus, as well as confidence to go into communities as an advocate in what I do, what I discover and what I will do in the future.”

AMA says thanks to school patrollers
‘Call from Shannon was a blessing’ Jaimie Griffiths was working on getting her family back on track after a devastating fire destroyed their home at Dried Meat Lake. All was lost. So when Shannon (Cobblers owner) called to say Jaimie had won a $1,000 shopping spree, it was a ray of sunshine. She spent four fun-filled hours with Shannon going through the store, trying things on, laughing and enjoying herself. “I needed a little escape, even if it was only for four hours. Thank you to Shannon and her staff. Cobblers is truly awesome.” “Thanks to all of you who entered our draw and congratulations to Jaimie!” – Shannon

The Alberta Motor Association put on a year-end appreciation pool party at the Aquatic Centre last Thursday for the city's 250 school safety patrollers. Patrollers from nine different schools worked up an appetite with a swim in the pool, after which they enjoyed a feast of pizza, chips, juice and cookies. "We wanted to thank our patrollers for once again taking part in the AMA School Safety Patrol Program and helping their fellow students cross the streets safely," said AMA School Safety Patrol Camrose regional coordinator Darcy Baron. Most of the school safety patrollers in Camrose are in Grades 5 and 6. "On occasion we have some in Grade 4 if the school staff is willing to get out there and help them with taking on such a big responsibility. We need to give an extra shout out to those staff because it is an extra responsibility they are asked to take on." The AMA School Safety Patrol program has operated for 75 years with no serious injuries or fatalities at school crosswalks. "We are celebrating 75 years in Alberta communities by connecting generations of former and current patrollers to share their stories from the crosswalk," said Baron. "Just like their parents and grandparents, today's patrollers learn leadership and responsibility by keeping our school zones safe. Through rain, snow and sunshine, patrollers help motorists, pedestrians and cyclists watch out for each other as they cross the road."

Butterfly collection to be on display during Thursday stewardship session By Samara Froland, Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society summer coordinator The coordinator for Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society (CWSS) will continue to host environmental educational events on Thursday evenings, although last week’s event was unable to take place. Martin Osis, an expert on mushroom identification and a founding member of Alberta Mycological Society was expected to perform a presentation on June 13. The presentation was
scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre in Camrose. Unfortunately, Mr. Osis was unable to make it to the presentation. It was a disappointment for everyone who was excited to learn about edible mushrooms. As there appears to be much interest in this topic, the coordinator will make an attempt to reschedule the presentation for a future date. The next scheduled event is Eyes in the Skies, a presentation on butterflies. It will take place on Thursday, June 20 at
7 p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre. Dr. Tom Terzin, a biology professor from University of Alberta, Augustana Campus will present this program. An interesting feature of this presentation will be the display of butterfly and moth specimens, including an extinct Jamaican moth. Tim Hortons has graciously offered to donate coffee and doughnuts to this event as well as other CWSS events.

Alberta protects whistleblowers Alberta’s landmark whistleblower protection law took effect June 1, ushering in greater transparency in the public sector. “Our government is leading the way in openness and transparency; setting the ‘goldstandard’ for expense disclosure rules in Canada, opening the doors to government data through our new Open Data Portal, and establishing legislation to protect whistleblowers,” said Manmeet S. Bhullar, Minister of Service Alberta. “Premier Redford asked us to transform the way that government does business and we are delivering on her commitment.” The Public Interest Disclosure (Whistleblower Protection) Act, passed in the fall 2012 session of the Legislature, protects public sector employees from job reprisal if they report wrongdoing. “This new law gives public sector employees the confidence and protection they deserve for reporting a wrongdoing. It means no dismissal, layoff, suspension, demotion or transfer, or fear of reprimand or harassment for whistleblowers,” said Don Scott, Associate Minister of Accountability, Transparency and Transformation. “Any measure taken to adversely affect the whistleblower’s employment or working conditions will be met with steep fines of up to $25,000 for a first offence and up to $100,000 for subsequent offences.” The legislation applies to the Alberta Public Service; provincial agencies, boards and commissions with employees; post-secondary academic insti-
tutions; school boards; charter schools; private schools that receive government grants; and public sector health organizations. Health care professionals appointed to the medical or professional staff of a public organization, or who hold privileges with one, are also protected under the Act. Under the legislation, public sector bodies are required to appoint a designated officer within their organization to investigate and resolve complaints by employees who report violations of provincial or federal law; acts or omissions that create a danger to the public or environment; and gross mismanagement of public funds. Employees can also take their complaint directly to the newly established Office of the Public Interest Commissioner. “One of my goals as Public Interest Commissioner is to help build a culture where public sector employees not only feel safe when reporting a wrongdoing within their workplace, but they feel encouraged to do so,” said Peter Hourihan, who was appointed Commissioner in April. “Employees across the public sector now have protection from reprisals, and our office will work with them to investigate allegations of wrongdoing or reprisals.” Our government was elected to keep building Alberta, to live within its means and to fight to open new markets for Alberta’s resources. We will continue to deliver the responsible change Albertans voted for.
Central Agencies Home of the Week
Charming home near university area
Graham Wideman By Murray Green
If you are seeking a well-built character home with charming features, then this property close to the university, schools, Jubilee Park and downtown is for you and your family. This one and a half storey, five-bedroom 1,600 square foot home is located in the special residential district of historic housing. You will love the character and lifestyle of the decorative arches, hardwood flooring, and
bright windows this beautiful home has to offer. An attractive foyer and sun room are waiting to greet you and your guests. An old-fashioned fireplace accents the spacious living room that adjoins a bright dining room with fabulous built-in cabinets, china display and storage areas. The country style kitchen contains plenty of storage cabinets and a less formal eating area. The master bedroom and a four-piece bathroom are also on the main floor. A winding staircase leads to the upper level that features three bedrooms with lots of closet space and a three-piece bathroom. The partly finished basement contains a huge family room area, a bedroom with living room or office space attached, a cold room and a huge laundry area.
The well-maintained and landscaped mature yard features a private deck, which is ideal for summer barbecues or relaxing. A rear single detached garage with a paved driveway has access to the paved alley. Although this home is loaded with 1920s character, it has an impressive modern energy efficient heating system. The home could also be a great revenue property to accommodate students with its good location. Included with the purchase are the fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, window coverings and all existing furniture. Be sure to view this lovely 4616-49 Street home. It is attractively priced to sell at $245,000. Contact Graham Wideman for more details at: Central Agencies Inc. 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 or 780-679-8384 cell

Luke Bramfield was excited about representing his school at the provincial track and field meet in Calgary. The Camrose Composite High School athlete placed second in the zone competition in Stettler on May 29. "I thought that I had a good shot at winning a medal in the 100 metre race. I stayed with the top runner from Red Deer (Lindsay Thurber) and finished one-tenth of a second behind him," said an excited Luke. He finished second in the senior boys' division with a respectable 11.44 time.
"Running the 100m event is my favourite and the one that I had a shot at winning. I like the 100m because it is a quick and intense event," added Luke. "My time was decent for zones. But, there is way more competition at provincials and 11.44 isn't going to be fast enough at provincials. Most of the winners are close to the 11 mark, so that's what I'm looking at if I want to be near the top of the group." Luke competed in high jump a lot in past years, but this is his first year in the 100m event. "I'm working on my starts to get
a little quicker out of the blocks. I'm not really a sprinter, but I'm trying to improve. I've been reading a lot about it and asking other people for advice," said the Grade 12 student. The basketball player helped his team place second at zones. Since the team went to provincials the year before, the void of not reaching provincials was filled with track. "I was looking for something else to do, so I looked at track as something to finish the year with. I've always liked the 100s and being able to go to provincials is pretty cool," Luke said.

Royal LePage planning barbecue to celebrate 100th birthday By Dan Jensen
Royal LePage Rose Country Realty Ltd. will be hosting a birthday party from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on June 22. "We're going to be cooking hot dogs, serving cake and raffling door prizes to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Royal LePage in Canada," said Royal LePage broker/owner Arnoud Colombijn. "It's all free so we are hoping for a good turnout." Donations accepted
Donations collected at the birthday party will go towards the Camrose Women's Shelter Society. "Royal LePage is committed to supporting women's shelter foundations," said Columbijn. "The goal of every one of our realtors across Canada is to raise $100 for the women's shelters over the next 100 days. That might not seem like much initially but when you think of all the Royal LePage realtors there are in Canada it adds up." Founded in 1913
Royal LePage is the only remaining Canadian-owned real-estate franchise. The company was founded in 1913 in Toronto by then 26-year-old Albert E. LePage, who had a reputation for integrity and honesty, as well as an enduring belief that a realtor's main purpose is to sell exceptional service more than property. A.E. LePage helped found the Toronto Real Estate Board in 1920 and was an influential contributor to the Ontario Real Estate Association, both of which were established to raise the standards of the profession, and eventually led to the founding of the Canadian Real Estate Association. Royal LePage currently has more than 600 offices and 14,500 agents across Canada. Royal LePage will be publishing a book to commemorate its 100th anniversary, in addition to hosting contests and social media events. Local history
Royal LePage has been helping the residents of Camrose and area with their home, acreage, farm and commercial land purchases since the mid 1970s. The present company was started by Rick Forster in 1996 and sold to Columbijn in 2010. Royal LePage Rose Country Realty's 13 realtors take pride in educating themselves and their clients. "Twice a year our staff attends sessions on new methods and technology in order to keep up with the changing business world," said Columbijn. "They like to be more knowledgeable so they can pass on their expertise to their customers." Royal LePage Rose Country Realty enjoys serving the community and supporting local projects. Over the last two years the business has made a donation to the Rotary Youth Centre project, held a garage sale to help raise funds for the Camrose Women's Shelter Society, collected food for the Neighbor Aid Centre, sold toques for the Camrose Open Door Association, and helped with the Christmas hamper program. "We try to be involved in local projects so that the funds and help benefits people in the surrounding areas," said Columbijn. "We give back to the community. Our staff knows how important it is to serve the community in which we live and work."

Golfers chip in to launch university program By Murray Green
The Camrose Golf Course men's night golfers teed off the launch of the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus golfing program by donating $1,000 to go towards start-up costs and to support the athletes on the team. The Vikings scored a hole in one when athletic director Greg Ryan named local golf pro Bill Penny as the coach of the golfing team. He will be assisted by Connor Chafe, who works at the Coal Creek Golf Club. "Connor is a very good player and he will be a big help," Bill said. Connor graduated from Augustana this year. "I'm very excited about the program. I've been involved in university and college athletics before with Grant MacEwan," said coach Bill, who worked at Northern Bear Club before making the move to the Rose City. "This is a natural fit for Camrose and the University of Alberta. To see these young golfers develop and grow is tremendous. The golfers move up from the junior program and now we have another reason for these young people to stay in the community." Bill said that the ACAC (Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference) events are very competitive and he will have a lot of work ahead of him to get a strong team formed this fall. "I would like to have about eight men and close to the same for the women's team. My main focus will be to recruit enough women golfers to form a team for tournaments," added Bill. "All of the golf courses are short on junior girls, so that will be our challenge. You need at least four women to form a team at the university level." Bill will be fielding the best possible team he can right away. "I'm going with the best golfers, regardless of what year they are at Augustana. If a fourth year student can help us, then we will take them for a year. It is important to have players at various
Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Camrose Golf Course men's Tuesday night league donated $1,000 to the newly launched golf program at the University of Alberta, Augustana Campus. From left to right, Augustana student Cole Feth, men's president Lynn Levers, Vikings golf coach Bill Penny, men's night treasurer Will Anderson, Augustana students Braxton Fox and Darion Geddes share in the celebration. All three Augustana students will be trying out for the golf team in September.
stages to help the younger ones as well," explained Bill. "We will be looking at youth, but it is good to have some experienced players." Even though Camrose has a top notch course, the coaches want to move them around to experience other courses around Alberta. "The big thing is to get them golfing and be competitive." The Vikings will be building a team from scratch. "We know and understand that it will take time to be competitive. It is a process and this fall will be the start. We will ask all those who want to try out to come and golf with us. We will have a qualifying period," said Bill. "Recruiting is part of my responsibilities, so I will be looking for golfers to try
out. I will be focusing on the rural areas and on golfers looking for a post-secondary education." Bill currently teaches a junior program in Viking with 23 participants and 26 golfers in Sedgewick as well as Camrose. "In Viking and Sedgewick combined we have 10 girls, so we may have some college-level golfers in the future. The local golfers are excited. I talked with the city and they are behind us 100 per cent. This exposes a lot of people to the Camrose Golf Course and this is a good place to learn. I would like to host the finals here. I can see us putting in a bid to host two or three years from now when we are established." Athletic director Greg said the number of roster spots is still
under consideration. "You can have up to five women and five men at each tournament. We may have more golfers than that, and it will be up to Bill who goes each weekend," explained Greg. " In the ACAC, golfers don't receive Jimmie Condon Athletic Scholarships. So the money we received today will be set aside to go for some scholarships." Greg said the university is starting the golf program for three reasons. "One, we want people in the area to have the opportunity to play golf. Secondly, it gives golfers in the junior program something to shoot for and, thirdly, it grows the student population at Augustana. Both golf and soccer (new for 2014) will attract more students and are
relatively less expensive sports to run." The university golfing season features an Open North Regional Tournament on Sept. 14 and 15 that will be hosted by Red Deer College at the Lacombe Golf and Country Club. An Open South Regional Tournament will be held on Sept. 21 and 22 hosted by Lethbridge College at the Paradise Canyon Golf Course. The ACAC championships are slated for Sept. 28 and 29 at the Olds Golf Club. The CCAA (Canadian College Athletic Association) Golf Championships will be hosted by Cegep Champlain St. Lawrence in Quebec on Oct. 15 to 18.
Kodiaks support bid to bring Kraft tour to city By Murray Green and Boris Rybalka
Communities across Canada are being nominated for the Kraft Celebration Tour. Camrose Kodiaks general manager and coach Boris Rybalka started the process by nominating our local community. The winning entry will receive $25,000 for a project and will also host a live TSN SportsCentre broadcast. "Go to the Kodiaks website and read the story on the front for the support of the performing arts centre in Camrose. Click on the link and read what was accepted from Kraft as one of the bids for the Kraft Celebration Tour. Post a tweet for support and we will see on June 30 if Camrose is one of the finalists," said Boris. A panel of judges will announce the top 20 finalists on June 30. Finalists will be paired in a series of 10 match-ups where people will have 24 hours to vote on which community they want to see go through. Once voting is over, Kraft will travel to each of the 10 winning communi-
ties, presenting them with the $25,000 award. Following is Boris's submission to Kraft: The $25,000 would be a great step in getting us that little bit closer to the dream that hundreds of dancers here in Camrose have of being able to dance in front of their hometown on a decent sized stage in a professional setting. The donation coming from Kraft and TSN would make it that much more amazing as dancers work very hard sometimes train four to five nights a week for their tournaments in which most dancers are entered into several disciplines and to get support from Kraft and TSN would mean so much to them. Dance is a very active, healthy lifestyle and extremely competitive, as a lot of times in festivals/tournaments dancers will be judged in front of the other dancers that they competed against and the audience. The best part is before, during and after dancing at tournaments, dancers always have a lot of respect for each other and their routines, even cheering and congratulating each other. Which is what part of this contest is about,
athletes respecting each other, coming together for a common goal (the performing arts centre) and getting the whole community to come together to make something amazing happen. It all came to me during the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. I was sending good luck wishes to Mason Raymond (Vancouver Canucks) and Joe Colborne (Toronto Maple Leafs). Joe asked about how my kids were doing. While telling him about their dance festivals I began to mention the new performing arts centre that is being built here in Camrose even though we are still fund-raising. It then came to us, I can’t remember if it was Joe’s or my idea, the Kraft Celebration TSN Tour! It must have been the combination of talking hockey, about the kids and living an active lifestyle that made us think of it, along with some great advertising. You see, hockey players have a dream and that dream is to play in the NHL one day, just like Raymond and Colborne and thousands of others. I have a nine-year-old daughter (Mckenna) who adores Mason, Joe and
Dan Bertram. Dan has a sister named Ali Bertram. She was the top female in the first ever So you think you can Dance Canada. Mckenna went to watch Ali dance in Edmonton and talked to her and ever since that time she now has a dream and so do hundreds of other girls and boys in Camrose. That dream is to perform in front of an audience in dance, music and theater. This is how everything came together; I coach hockey. we have a beautiful arena to play in, and we have room for 2,500 people to watch us play. But what about the performing arts, do they have anywhere to dance, or for choirs, theatre, skipping, Tae Kwon-Do, musicians and many more to host performances in a location large enough for them to perform in front of an audience? No. Dancers need to drive out of town for competitions and also for the year-end show. This is when I decided to contact Jason Heise as he is a member of the committee to build a performing arts centre in Camrose. With the help and expertise of Jason and many others, the performing arts centre will become a real-
ity. Ground-breaking has begun and the dream will become a reality. We want to have Kraft Celebration Tour and TSN here in Camrose to show everybody that if you have a dream it can become a reality. For every girl and boy who has a dream to be Ali Bertram one day, that could now happen in Camrose with a performing arts centre. (For more information on the performing arts centre you can go to www. camroseperformingarts.ca). “Let's go Camrose! Bring the Kraft Celebration TSN Tour to your city and get this Performing Arts Centre built so children have a place to perform and achieve their dreams," said Mason. “My dream has come true thanks in a large part to the experiences I had in Camrose. I strongly believe that if given the opportunity, the city of Camrose will come together and make their stop on the Kraft Celebration TSN Tour the best one yet,” added Joe.

Lamb Ford joins elite company By Dan Jensen
Lamb Ford Sales Ltd. has taken its place among some pretty elite company. The Camrose car and truck dealership has been recognized with the 2012 President's Award. Ford of Canada's highest honour, the President's Award is presented annually to those dealerships that demonstrate outstanding achievement in sales and customer service. "You have to be within the top 10 per cent of all dealers in Canada for sales and customer satisfaction," said Lamb Ford Sales sales assistant general manager Brett Denham. The President's Award has been achieved by Lamb Ford Sales several times over the last 31 years. "It speaks highly of the commitment to everyone here to look after the needs of the customers and the faith our customers have in us to be able to meet their needs," said Denham. Lamb Ford Sales general manager Pat Quinlan said the President's Award is very special because it takes the commitment of every department throughout the entire dealership.

Summit Awards
Lamb Ford Sales sales professionals Dan Madison and Jan Nowakowski received Summit awards during a June 1 ceremony at the Palliser Fairmont Hotel in Calgary for placing among the top ten per cent in sales in western Canada, while Matt McLeod received a Summit award for placing in the top ten per cent in western Canada in fleet sales. Sharon Mills, Lamb Ford Sales' service advisor, received a Summit award for having one of the top ratings in western Canada on the customer satisfaction index. Master technicians Chris Hunter and Lloyd Stevenson received summit awards based on customer satisfaction results and level of training. Quality all around
Lamb Ford Sales owner Cliff Denham considers himself fortu-
nate to be surrounded by quality people, some of whom have been at the dealership as long as he has. "It is not the brick and mortar that make a dealership successful," he said, "it is the people. We have very good personnel in all areas, whether it be in sales, parts, service, our QuickLane or autobody. The team we have assembled is very hard to beat." Lamb Ford sales' professional sales staff ensure complete satisfaction, from the time the
customers walk in the doors to the time they drive away – usually in a new vehicle. Their goal is to help you purchase a vehicle, rather than to sell you a vehicle. Lamb Ford Sales' service department, led by service manager Dennis Yochim, provides peace of mind to every customer who brings his or her vehicle in for service. The department is Alberta Transportation Inspection Certified, which means it is able to provide out-of-service
inspections and commercial inspections for light duty vehicles. Staff in the collision department, under the direction of Gary Balcom, will inspect your vehicle, provide a written estimate on the complete finished product, and complete the work in the time allotted. Lamb Ford Sales' QuickLane staff are dedicated to no appointment necessary service consisting of oil and filter changes, brake service, wheel alignment, shock/ struts maintenance, tire rotation
and tire sales. Supervisor Glenn Lyseng and his crew ensure that every vehicle entering QuickLane is inspected and maintained with the highest quality of professionalism. All aspects of work completed or needed are communicated to the customer in the form of a report card for peace of mind driving. Lamb Ford Sales' parts manager Gord Ringwall and his staff will help you with whatever requirement you may have, whether it be genuine Ford parts or aftermarket accessories. If the part isn't on hand in the $400,000 parts inventory, they know how to get it. Denham believes in order to keep customers returning you need to treat them like one of the family. His theory is that if you look after the customer everything else will look after itself. "I want to treat customers the way I would like to be treated," he said. Denham also believes in taking good care of the community. He has donated a truck to Habitat for Humanity, and over the past few years has been a regular supporter of many community organizations, including Camrose Minor Sports, STARS, and the Camrose Kodiaks. "We do extremely well in the community and we don't mind giving back to the community." Denham likes to tell people Lamb Ford Sales has had good years and great years, but never a bad year. "In my time here," he said, "we have always been one of the top Ford dealerships in Alberta."

By Murray Green The Camrose Swans and Roses Lions Club continues to send funds to STARS because it is very important to rural communities. In fact, up to 1985 the service was called the Lions Air Ambulance. "It was determined that the first 20 minutes for a trauma victim was crucial to survival. The longer it takes to get attention, the less chance they could have to survive," said 30-year Lions member Jim Taylor. "We were behind STARS right from the start and the service wouldn't be where it is today without the Lions support across the province. They don't receive any assistance from the government." Dr. Greg Powell of Calgary approached major industry for funding an air ambulance service. He was turned down. Then he talked to Lion John Panton of the Calgary North Hill Lions Club to see if there was anything the Lions could do. That's when Lion John approached the Lions of Alberta Foundation (LOAF). "If it wasn't for the Lions, the service wouldn't have started. LOAF agreed to assist the project with seed money in the form of a grant of $50,000 as well as a loan of another $50,000," said Jim. "It is a positive service that is helping the community." With the Lions involved, the business community was ready to become involved and STARS was formed. "Almost everyone knows of someone who has been touched by STARS in some way," said Jim. "I was the president in Grand Centre in 1985 when we first got involved." In 1999, STARS sought funding to purchase a travelling human simulator to use for training purposes and to travel to various EMS locations. The $300,000 price tag was shared by the Lions and a major corporation. Today STARS has developed into holding its own fundraisers, but they are still supported by many Lions clubs through budget donations. Lions makes a difference in the community by supporting local projects that help those in need. "I believe in getting out and being active to help the community. We went to a conference in Texas and saw all of the people who service numerous communities," said Jim. "It was amazing how many people are helping through Lions. Where would we would be without service clubs? We do make a difference with dedicated volunteers."

Practice makes perfect for fire volunteers By Dan Jensen
When it comes to responding to a fire or an emergency, there is no room for indecision. As the old saying goes, "He who hesitates is lost." "Firefighters need to be able to respond to the situation in front of them and react immediately, almost without having to think," said Camrose Fire Chief Peter Krich. "They need to be trained so that they aren't standing around deciding what has to be done next." In Camrose that training occurs every Tuesday night. "We practice everything they might see in a real life situation," said Chief Krich. "The goal is to develop a procedure that our firefighters follow every time they go out so that when they encounter a problem they know exactly what to do and everything becomes second nature. We know there is a variance and variables that change because the nature of the incident can change, but if you have those standard guidelines and standard procedures then it makes it easier. We truly believe that practice and repetition does indeed make perfect." Training focuses on a wide variety of subjects, whether it is using the jaws of life, tying knots, setting up the ladder truck or rescuing someone from the ice. "We do a lot of our training outside in the summer when the weather is nice and we can pump water without worrying about it freezing," said Chief Krich. "In the winter we do a lot of inside things, like classroom lectures." Training this past Tuesday night included a rural pumping scenario involving a potable water supply, the proper use of fire extinguishers and the rescue of a person from a smokefilled home. "We have been using the home for most of the spring," said Chief Krich. "Old homes are good for giving us the opportunity to pull fire hoses around and filling them with smoke from the machines that we use. The
firemen are able to go in the home wearing their masks and breathing apparatus and do a complete look around." The Camrose Fire Department has stayed away from using real fire in exercises since the time it encountered a problem with one in the former Gardner College building. "The fires we had in the Gardner building were controlled in pans and monitored. We had people monitoring them and had people in the right places, but because you are training with live fire anything can happen," said Chief Krich. "In that cases things went bad in a hurry. We now leave the live fire exercises to the training facilities like the fire school in Vermilion." Training in the use of fire extinguishers gives the firefighters the ability to train the general public how to use the ones in their homes. "We go out to the public works yards and use x or z shaped pans to make things a little more challenging," said Chief Krich. Camrose Fire Department asks the volunteer firefighters when they sign up that they make attendance at the training sessions one of their priorities. "The sessions aren't mandatory because we know they will sometimes have other things going on in their lives like family and work commitments, but they are well attended nevertheless," said Chief Krich. "We are at about 80 to 90 per cent attendance every Tuesday night, which is phenomenal for a volunteer service like ours. The guys like being able to learn new things and they feel good about what the service is providing here. They have a lot of fun in each other's company but they are also learning new things. Often the training spills over the two hours that have been allotted, depending on what they are doing and the excitement they are creating within themselves." Training nights begin with Chief Krich giving the firefighters a briefing on what has hap-
pened over the course of the past week. "I try to bring everybody up to the same level and talk about the things that we have done well, as well as some of the things that could have been done better," said Chief Krich. "I want to make sure that everybody is on the same playing field." Camrose Fire Department training officer Joe Mah makes sure the training is coordinated and meets the nationally set standards. "The important thing is that they know what to do and do it safely, efficiently and effectively so that they are able to meet the objective of resolving that scene or incident," said Chief Krich. Volunteer firefighter Warren Rosland, who is a captain, said the training that the firemen receive is invaluable. "It gives you confidence when you are making the decisions. "You know exactly what you are supposed to do when you arrive at the scene." Chief Krich said he is proud of the guys who go out on the calls, knowing they have the expertise to do the job that is required. "We just had an incident a few days ago where there was a fire in the kitchen and bedroom of a house. Our guys were in and out of there just like that and got it out very quickly. They knew all the things that had to be done and they did them well." Chief Krich said that even though the firefighters in Camrose are described as volunteers they are part-time employees of the City of Camrose who are paid for the time they respond to calls and the time they spend in training. "The volunteer aspect comes from them volunteering to show up and volunteering to be part of the organization. They volunteer to help with the pancake breakfasts, the corn booths at Jaywalkers' Jamboree and all those other things. They all have other lives and other careers and still they volunteer their time to be part of this organization."

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.

For multiple toilets the rebate will be $70 for the most expensive toilet, as well as an additional rebate of 25 per cent of the cost of each additional toilet (with a maximum rebate of $50 per additional toilet). This offer will be available on a first come first serve basis as funding is available with no limit on the number of toilets replaced per household/business. The City of Camrose is offering this rebate to encourage citizens to increase their water conservation. The toilet is the largest water consumer in the home, attributing to nearly 30 per cent of total indoor water consumption in residential homes. It is natural that we should focus on making low-flow toilets more accessible. New technology is available within Camrose, and the City of Camrose would like to kick-start this change. Certain conditions will apply in order to qualify for this program. The City of Camrose must receive: 1. A completed toilet rebate application form. 2. Receipt of purchase for each new, approved low-flow toilet. 3. Pictures of each washroom, before and after installation. 4. Evidence that each old toilet was made non-functional. For a full list of conditions, please refer to the City’s website: www.camrose.ca/toiletrebate. For more information about the program, or to discuss your eligibility within the rebate program, please contact Neil Anderson at the City of Camrose Infrastructure and Planning Department by e-mail at mailto:ToiletRebate@ camrose.ca, or by phone at 780672-4428 during regular business hours. Applications for this program will be accepted until September 27. Rebates will be given as funding is available to those who have applied before September 27 and have proof of installation of the new toilet and decommissioning of the old toilet before October 31.

Skin care tips
With so many tips and tricks associated with skin care, it can sometimes be confusing to discern the help from the hype. Certain care suggestions are universal and can help keep skin in top form. Be gentle on your skin Tugging, rubbing and pulling on the skin can eventually lead to sagging and wrinkling. Although the skin is quite elastic and resilient, as one ages and skin dries out and becomes more delicate, it may be susceptible to more damage. Select soft cleansing pads or washcloths for washing your face and body. Avoid harsh soaps that can strip the skin of essential oils. After showering, pat down skin so that some moisture remains on your body and apply a moisturizer to keep it locked in. When shaving, be gentle, avoiding tugging on the skin and shave in the direction the hair grows. Always use a sharp razor to avoid nicks and irritation. Shaving may actually be a more gentle method of hair removal than depilatory creams or waxing. Contrary to popular belief, shaving does not cause hair to come back thicker or darker. At the initial grow-back period, the hair ends may be blunt, which could give the appearance of thicker hair. But your hair really isn’t more thick. Quit smoking Smoking has many negative consequences, including the ability to wrinkle and damage the skin. According to the Mayo Clinic, the repetitive action of pursing the lips to draw on the cigarette and also squinting the eyes against the smoke can lead to deep lines and wrinkles. Smoking also narrows the blood vessels in the body, including the tiny capillaries that are found in the outermost layers of skin. Lack of blood flow also means lack of oxygen and nutrients reaching the skin to keep it healthy. Smoking also may damage collagen and elastin -- the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. Furthermore, the tar in cigarette smoke can stain the skin, giving a yellowish appearance. Manage stress Too much stress can take its toll on your body. In addition to causing lack of sleep, which can make the skin look tired, stress can cause hormonal changes that lead to breakouts and even hives. Slow down your pace and take steps to reduce stress. The skin is the largest organ of the body, and, at times, it can seem invincible. However, skin is not immune to disease or other conditions, so emphasize skin care as part of your grooming routine.
