Always better – always better read

Under the control of conductor Tom Chelmick, the Mirror Lake Express winds its way around the trails of Mirror Lake.

In 2007, a labour of love, combined with incredible talent, changed hands. Creator Jeppa Danielson sold his hand-built train. Collaborative funding of the $100,000 purchase by City of Camrose, Province of Alberta, City Center Camrose and Camrose Chamber of Commerce allowed Jeppa’s train (now called the Mirror Lake Express) to remain in Camrose for people of all ages to ride and enjoy. Beginning the summer of 2008, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, from 5:30 p.m. until dusk, the trail system on the south side of Mirror Lake has become the “rails” for this popular attraction. Tom Chelmick and a dedicated team of volunteers have donated thousands of hours of their free time to operate the train on the fourteen minute memorable ride through the pristine valley. In addition, they have transported the train to parades and special events where the Mirror Lake Express has always been a crowd favourite and often brings home a competition award or ribbon. This visibility has become a terrific way to “put Camrose on the map”. Adding to the excitement of this year’s parade circuit, with stops in Ponoka (2nd place showing), Calgary and Edmonton and a local appearance at the Big Valley Jamboree Parade, is the accompaniment of singers and dancers of the Mirror lake Express from About Time Productions.

To become a Mirror Lake Express volunteer, or to rent the train for your activity, contact the Camrose Chamber of Commerce.

Lifetime Membership Benefits Railway examines possibilities

By Murray Green

The Battle River Railway is the little engine that could. The success of adding tourism to its list of services was celebrated on July 7.

"We think that everyone loves a train. We feel that the community support for the project clearly demonstrates this love for trains," said BRR chair Ken Eshpeter. "The Friends of the Battle River Railway is a recently formed society whose goal it is to partner with the Battle River Railway to bring affordable,

accessible and enjoyable tourism experiences involving the train in the catchment area."

The railway was launched in December 2010, so local farmers could ship grain and fertilizer to the Camrose CN depot and then on to ports in Prince Rupert and Vancouver.

"Thanks to the generous support of you people, the society was able to buy the beautiful car that you will be boarding shortly," said Ken, to the approximately 76 passengers who experienced a ride from Forestburg to Heisler,

Rosalind, Kelsey and the Camrose County Nature Centre Park.

"We purchased the car from the Kamloops Heritage Society.

We will also be refurbishing our old caboose, which we will begin pulling with our heritage car.

The caboose was donated to the BRR two years ago by the Kelsey Theatre and Community Club," added Ken. "We have plans to create storefronts, so people can recognize the Friends of the Battle River Railway presence."

Battle River Railway exploring the possibilities Continued from page 2

The Town of Forestburg donated the old youth centre building to the society to become an office, museum, gallery, a conference facility and a train station.

"We have unique storefront ideas for each of our six towns along the line. We are hoping that the residents of each of the areas pester us to build beautiful and touchable facilities in each of their towns to create this tourism story," continued Ken. "We would not be here to celebrate a new chapter if the community had not purchased this fabulous piece of rail infrastructure three years ago."

This is no ordinary short line rail. "This is 132-pound mainline steel and it is continuously welded. I have to apologize to those who want to experience the clickety clack of the rails because it is a smooth ride," laughed Ken.

The BRR story is a great story for reviving the rural communities. "In the fall of 2008, farmers along the line learned that CN was no longer providing rail service. The line was scheduled for discontinuance. It didn't take the 185 producers long to decide that they would buy the line," he explained. "We formed a new generation co-op and started selling shares."

A group of 151 grain producers, 120 citizens, four towns or villages, three counties, several agricultural societies, seed plants and small businesses formed the BBR Co-op. The group raised $3.5 million and borrowed another $1.5 million to save the rail line from becoming recycled.

They also saved engine 5353 from being scrapped.

"On Dec. 14, 2010, we loaded 50 hopper cars with grain and sent it to Camrose.

That is not even three years

ago. Most of the reason for our success has been the spirit that people here show each and every day," he added.

"Had it not been for the spirit of cooperation, we would have not survived."

The BRR not only ships about 800 cars of grain each year, it has also added oil tankers, fertilizer cars and now passengers to its growing list of services. The train uses the CN tracks from Kelsey to Camrose to transport the goods.

The BBR has four reasons for success. "We have preserved a valuable part of history, it has created more commercial activity including more jobs, it has helped people in the catchment area to work together and because of the commercial success of the railway, we have been able to delve into projects like this one we are celebrating today," Ken said.

Alliance mayor and society chair Muriel Fankhanel grew up in Heisler. "After several months of casual talk, about seven of us met in the Forestburg elevator about forming an organization, whose major goal would be to buy a passenger car and to organize trips for local tourists to visit the communities along the line," she explained.

"It was on March 29, 2012. I put the date in because it has been just over a year to make this happen."

A fund-raising event was held to generate money to purchase the passenger car.

"After a few days of the event we had enough money to purchase a car, but it would take several months for it to arrive," shared Muriel. "The car arrived in Camrose, but it went to Mirror before it returned to Camrose. It took the scenic route."

Flagstaff County Reeve

Gerald Kuefler was also excited about the tourism possibilities. "We congratulate the BBR for getting this up and running. The reason this line works so well is because there are no boundaries. There are no boundaries in this project. Communities and municipalities all worked together."

Forestburg deputy mayor Peter Miller echoed those comments. "I understand the excitement of our pioneers when they first received rail service. One hundred years later, we share those same feelings as a new chapter in our history unfolds," said Peter. "We need to thank the BBR for its vision and perseverance to bring a dream to life. The future does look bright. We need to continue to work together to ensure our rural way of life remains vibrant and sustainable."

Writing Centre receives grant to publish book

By Dan Jensen

The Battle River Writing Centre has received a grant of $25,000 from the New Horizons for Seniors grant program to publish a book Life Happens, Beautiful Stories from Adversity.

"The book will feature stories by about 20 different writers about people in Battle River Country who have overcome difficulties in their lives," said Jane Ross, a member of the Battle River Writing Centre and president of the Association for Life Wide Living (ALL), the organization which started the writing centre and submitted the grant application March 25. "We have stories about people who have been in accidents or had strokes, about people who have experienced the suicide of a loved one, and about people who have been injured by animals. There is one about a person who survived an encounter with a bull and continues to be a very positive being as a result of it."

The grant covers the cost of publishing, the personal printing supplies of the authors, teaching workshops, tablets and Dragon Naturally Speaking software, a technology which converts spoken word into written text.

"The Dragon software, after you get trained with it, writes out whatever you feed into the computer," said Battle River Writing Centre member Janet Enns. "For me it is a wonderful tool because I am just starting to write and sitting at the computer for long periods of time just doesn't mesh. Having this software write out what I am saying just enables my writing to go faster and lets me edit it afterwards."

Enns' contribution to Life Happens, Beautiful Stories from Adversity focuses on a Camrose woman, Debbie Ulrich, who became a quadriplegic after a car accident.

"I am writing about what transpired to bring her to where she is today," said Enns. "How she went from a fully functional human with the stereotypical perfect family, husband and kids, to someone who, in spite of her physical limitations, is making

Janet Enns (right) has been recording the story of Debbie Ulrich.

a very full life for herself and is embracing life."

The Association for Life Wide Living has been entertaining the idea of a book about people overcoming adversity since its inception as the Norbo Resident Families Group.

"We started to observe something that is well known but not talked about much or done anything about, and that is the fantastic life stories of people in long term care," said Ross, "and we identified several people who had made remarkable adaptations to being in long term care due to some adversity in their life."

The idea came to a head when ALL made contact with a well-known Canadian journalist by the name of Irene Hewitt, who had some serious issues with the care she was receiving

from a care facility in Camrose and shared with Ross how she had laid down in her mind very detailed, long and rich poetry that helps her cope.

"In the course of meeting with her she told us about the importance of making investments in the bank of life for when you really need them," said Ross. "She is categorically blind and can't get out to walk in the trees so she needs to think about them. She realizes that it is very important to lay down these images in very thoughtful ways."

Due to challenges with eyesight, the two developed an integrative way of writing Irene's emerging stories.

"When Irene had new insights she would telephone me and I would write for her," said Ross. "If Irene needed full ref-

erences to poetry she partially remembered I could look it up then and there on my computer.

That's how her beautiful story grew."

Not all of the stories are about people in long term care facilities.

"We have some key stories from the nursing homes but it has expanded beyond that," said Ross. "We could probably have 100 stories if we wanted. There are lots of them that are coming out of the woodwork."

The application to the New Horizons Grant Program to combine transcription technology with the writing of stories was well received.

"We called the New Horizons people with our idea and they liked it," said Ross. "They said it was a very different twist on all the other applications."

The new technology is being made available to as many people as can or need to use it.

"We will use the Dragon software with as many writers and interviewees as needed," said Ross. "We have the funds so we can expand on the licencing if needed. There are several people who are using the software now and we expect that others will be learning in the future."

Enns is a peer leader who is helping other writers understand and use the technology. She also envisions ways in which this technology can assist individuals who may not be able to write their stories – but can speak them – have their words transcribed into text.

The Battle River Writing Centre has already conducted a few workshops with the grant to help its members become better at their craft. The next one scheduled will feature Maurice Hladik, originally from Gwynne, who will be talking about epublishing.

"He has published a book about food (Demystifying Food, From Farm to Fork), for which he did all the marketing with the help of epublishers," said Ross. "He's going to be doing the workshop from Ottawa and we are going to be opening it to all the writers in the Battle River Centre, as well as other people who want to take it."

Battle River Writing Centre members have been getting together Friday afternoons every other week for the last year and a half to discuss their writing and learn from each other.

"Sometimes we have five writers who attend, sometimes three, sometimes 17," said Ross.

"The purpose is to help people move ahead with their writing skills. Overall, our project uses technology in adaptive, assistive and appropriate ways to promote life-long learning and support life-wide living."

More information about the work of ALL and the Battle River Writing Centre may be obtained by contacting Ross at 780-6729315.

Business survey helps Economic Development plan for future

By Dan Jensen

City of Camrose Economic Development is hoping that a recently completed survey of local entrepreneurs will provide the base of information that is needed to assist with business retention, business growth and business succession planning.

The survey was conducted between May 21 and June 28 when the City of Camrose Economic Development, Alberta Works and the Rural Alberta Business Centre met with 35 businesses (26 incorporated, six sole-proprietorship, two partnerships and one cooperative).

Just over half the businesses (58.33 per cent) were or are primarily involved in retail trade.

Highlights

Over 54 per cent of respondents said Camrose is the headquarters for their business.

Over 71 per cent said they are completely satisfied with their current location, while 22.86 per cent said they are not completely satisfied.

The top reason for not being completely satisfied were location, general appearance of the site and high property taxes on the site.

Forty-eight per cent of businesses said they have been in operation for less than ten years, while 17.14 per cent said they have been in operation for over 35 years.

The vast majority of businesses indicated they use the internet for three main purposes: internet, research and web page. Over 65 per cent are actively using social media, and over 40 per cent have on-line inventory, order processing, online credit and payment, and access to internet based systems.

Fifty-eight per cent of businesses said they plan to expand operations in the community.

Sixty-one per cent said they plan to bring in additional product lines, 57 per cent said they plan to provide additional services for customers, and 57 per cent said

they plan to increase their workforce.

The top five advantages to doing business in Camrose were stated to be quality of life, support from local residents, support from local businesses, access to markets, customers and clients, and the size of the local market.

The top disadvantages to doing business in Camrose were stated to be availability of skilled labour, support from the municipality, transportation costs, the availability of transportation, municipal taxes, and telecommunication infrastructure capacity.

Many individuals commented on the recent recession and the aftermath. Sixty-two per cent of businesses said their sales have increased in the last two years, 22 per cent said they have decreased, 5.71 per cent said they have had uneven sales, and 8.57 per cent said they were approximately the same, with no significant change. Seventy-one per cent said they predict an increase in sales for this year.

The businesses said local business associations such as Community Futures, Rural Alberta Business Centre, the Chamber of Commerce and/or Economic Development could help by bringing more industry to the city, addressing the direction the City plans to go with taxation so that potential new businesses can make comparisons with other regions they may be considering for future rates, purchasing goods and services from local businesses, and promoting shopping local inside and outside the community.

The majority of business owners said they do not have issues with employee turnover and do not experience any issues with retaining employees above and beyond what is normal for the industry.

Many of the businesses felt that a public transportation system, retail supplies store (i.e. for bags, racks, hangers), and a sheet metal manufacturer would ultimately lead to an increased and

more profitable business environment.

Forty per cent said the high rate of taxation was a barrier to new businesses coming to the community. Thirty-two per cent indicated the barrier was a lack of serviced land, 32 per cent said it was a lack of adequate building facilities, and 32 per cent said it was an inadequate labour supply.

Six per cent said they were very satisfied with the planning, zoning and building permit process. Seventy-eight per cent said they were very satisfied with policing, while 90.32 per cent said they were very satisfied with fire prevention and services. Fortyeight per cent said they were very satisfied with the medical health services in the community, compared to 29.03 per cent who said they were somewhat satisfied, 6.45 per cent who said they were somewhat dissatisfied, and 12.90 per cent who said they were very dissatisfied.

The Community Economic Development Plan approved by City council in December, 2012, included a Business Retention and Expansion strategy with a focus on taking care of, nurturing and supporting businesses that already exist in the community. The strategy's long term goal is to increase the competitiveness of local businesses, job creation and new business development, the establishment and implementation of strategic actions for economic development, and a strong and viable local economy.

City receives good news on water licencing The City of Camrose received notification from Alberta Environment that the groundwork has been laid for the City to receive water licencing that would be sufficient for Camrose residents for the next 25 years.

The City’s water application dates back to 2002 when there was an opportunity to attract a large industry to the region. That opportunity did not materialize and the application was placed on hold

for several years. The City’s existing licence allows for withdrawal of up to 3,000,000 m3 of water per year. At current water consumption levels, the existing allocation would have allowed the City and surrounding region that is also serviced by the city water utility, to grow to a total population of about 22,000 people which was predicted to be reached by 2020.

In 2012, the City was approached by Cargill regard-

ing the possible construction of a new canola crushing plant. At that time, the City asked the Province to work toward finalizing the water application to include the City’s requirements, as well as Cargill’s requirements.

The City’s certificate allows for additional water withdrawal of 1,150,000 m3 per year, which effectively means that the City’s water system could support a population of 30,000+, and with

water conservation efforts the population served could be significantly larger. The City does have some regional agreements for potable water service. The certificate also includes water allocation specifically for the Cargill development.

The additional withdrawal is not officially approved until the City satisfies criteria set by Alberta Environment in the preliminary certificate.

City manager Damian

Herle advised that “two of the conditions include upgrades to the lake station intake estimated at $2.5M and further work on the development of drought management plans.”

Herle also stated that the City has up to three years to comply with all conditions; however they should be met in advance of that timeline.

The lake station upgrades are included in the City’s fiveyear capital plan, however require council approval.”

Leona Calhoun, Realtor

Royal LePage Rose Country Realty “Helping you is what we do”

As a youngster growing up in the farming district of Buffalo, Alberta (north-east of Medicine Hat), Leona had a passion for homes – decorating, improving and making them more livable, a passion she inherited from her mom. Driven by the work ethic that farm life demands, she excelled in her post high school educational choice, the interior design program at Mount Royal College in Calgary. However, jobs were scarce in the field and marriage (Tom) and two wonderful children dictated a change of career path. The result: a multitude of transfers and twenty-five years in banking, from entry level positions to significant levels of responsibility.

Tom’s last transfer brought them to Camrose where they decided to stay when Tom retired after 33 years with Trans Canada Pipelines. “Without a doubt Camrose is the friendliest, prettiest city in Alberta!” boasts Leona.

And thus began a new chapter in their lives: Team Calhoun. With combined experience in business, finance and a flair for home design, the couple have become key figures in the Camrose real estate business. “We have become noted for our ability to properly stage a home for selling. We can counsel people on the ins and outs of financing a purchase. We have definitely found careers where we can make a difference in the lives of others!”

The largest project thus far for Team Calhoun was The Village of West Park, a 78-unit adult community, where Leona was responsible for staging and decorating many of the show homes.

Though she has precious little spare time, Leona is passionate about her role with Habitat for Humanity Camrose. She serves on the board and on the selection committee.

…a special su In Camrose and area a significant number of women hold positions of power and prestige. Many others own their own small businesses or are key players in their respective companies.

The Camrose Booster is profiling some of the best, the brightest and the most prominent women who work, employ and lead in the community of which we are all so proud.

A Fresh Perspective on your Interior Designs – Interiors on Main

Upon entering Interiors on Main in downtown Camrose, the first impression is one of serenity; you find yourself surrounded by exquisite groupings of furniture, each of the settings carefully arranged to complement each other.

It’s a delight to browse through these treasures, your eyes are constantly drawn to something new, an element of design, a splash of color, a lush pattern, that simply speaks to you.

This did not happen by accident. The showroom at Interiors on Main is a reflection of the creative team of women who work there.

They too complement one another, each with a skill set that, when brought together, makes them stronger.

Kim Wetsch: Kim began her career with Interiors on Main Kim Wetsch six years ago. Formally educated at Lakeland College, where she obtained her designation as an Interior Design Technician, Kim worked in Vancouver for two years before coming here. She enjoys the challenges of her work, bringing a client’s ideas to life through her designs and drawings.

Kyla Duschscherer: Kyla attended Edmonton’s Grant McEwan College and then Mount Royal College in Calgary, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in applied interior design. Her strength is in melding form and function into space that’s not only Kyla Duschscherer spectacular, but highly useable.

Sheila Abma: Sheila attended NAIT where she graduated last year with a diploma in Interior Design Technology. Sheila’s rural roots and appreciation for small communities brought her to Interiors on Main in November.

Kim, Kyla and Sheila are delighted to be able to provide you with innovative ideas for color schemes, furniture selection and placement, custom cabinet designs, window coverings and accessories.

Sheila Abma Patricia Fielding, Lady Tiler: Pat’s attention to detail and 30 years of experience has resulted in some amazing tile designs over the past 10 years of working with Interiors on Main. She brings an artist’s eye and a technician’s skill to her craft, which continues to evolve as new challenges arise. A kitchen backsplash created by Pat always draws attention in the same way as an original piece of art.

Annabelle Heinz, Fabricator: Annabelle plies her craft in the workroom on the lower level at Interiors on Main. There she measures, cuts and sews – fabricating draperies of stunning detail Patricia Fielding and beauty. It is work only a perfectionist could perform. She also is Lady Tiler often called upon to provide her perspective and experience when clients want to discuss their vision for draperies.

Few can look at the components of design and see them in the same way as a formally trained designer or experienced craftsperson.

They offer ideas and plans to create spaces which can truly inspire you.

If you’re ready to begin transforming your home, there’s no better place to start than Interiors on Main.

Nicole Nanu, Owner

Windsor Plywood Seven years in a heartbeat. Nicole Nanu kind of shakes her head in amazement that it’s already been six years since she and her husband Marius bought the Windsor Plywood business in Camrose.

Asked if she was apprehensive about buying a business and moving to Camrose, Nicole says she was confident about their new venture. Marius had some 18 years’ experience selling Windsor products at a store in Edmonton, and Nicole knew her way around the accounting. She also enjoys working with customers, which she finds far more interesting and satisfying than her administrative duties. She likes meeting people and hearing what they’re planning for their next project, whether it’s a renovation or a brand new building. Nicole often provides innovative suggestions, ideas that the customer may not have considered, especially in relation to the wide range of materials that are now available through Windsor.

Flooring, windows, doors, finishing products, Windsor has unique products you can’t find anywhere else in Camrose. And Nicole would be delighted to tell you about them when you’re ready to start your next project.

Jenn Stone, General Manager The Auto Shoppe

The autobody industry is one that typically doesn’t attract a lot of women. It’s a hard world of metal, power tools, loud noise and physical work.

Meet Jenn Stone, not your typical autobody shop employee. As general manager of The Auto Shoppe in Camrose, Jenn talks about her work in ways more concerned with customers than the industry norm.

“My goal is having customers happy with their repairs and having the least stressful experience possible,” says Jenn with a vivacious smile. “Through today’s media, texting, Facefook, email, we can give daily progress updates to our clients so they know exactly when their vehicle will be ready.”

She defines success as building lasting relationships with customers and trade partners. If you’re in need of autobody collision repairs and want someone who puts your needs first, call Jenn at The Auto Shoppe and be prepared for a refreshing change.

Wow, now that’s a body shop!

Karen Anderson, Owner

Karen Anderson Therapies and Total Orthotics We’ve all heard that we should try to walk 10,000 steps a day for optimum health and fitness. What we don’t think about is how much stress and pressure that can put on our feet.

With many years’ experience as an orthotics technician, foot care practitioner, reflexologist and a laser technician addressing tissue damage, Karen is well aware of what our feet go through on a daily basis. She says, “It is very gratifying to work on someone’s feet and help them get the relief they need for a pain-free day.”

With studies showing that up to 70 percent of back pain can be directly related to the feet, Karen has seen not only back pain, but a host of other health problems including hip and knee pain, shin splints and sciatica as well as foot problems all helped with orthotics.

Because of her work in reflexology and orthotics, Karen is also certified in shiatsu and hot stone massage therapy. She finds both therapies to be very helpful and quite complimentary with reflexology.

Anyone can come in for a consultation – a doctor’s referral is not necessary and, with Karen’s same-day service, you can have a consultation in the morning and your othotics in the afternoon. If you have foot or back pain, call for your appointment today.

Gina Desjardins, Catering Manager: Nineteen years ago Gina began her career locally, in the catering/ hospitality industry. Today she’s as enthusiastic and energetic in her approach to business as she was when she landed her first opportunity.

Her role is to help individual and corporate clients with every detail in hosting special and unique events, meetings and get-togethers. Upon opening in 2012, the banquet and meeting rooms at the Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino quickly became a desired Camrose location for weddings, parties and business functions. Gina and her team pride Gina Desjardins Catering Manager themselves on always being accessible throughout the event-planning stage and right through to the conclusion of the activity so that things go ultra-smoothly. Notes Gina, “We’ve been blessed to provide excellent quality food and service to match. It’s our responsibility to always be available for every function when questions or unique needs arise. We’ve already developed an exceptional reputation for doing things right! The result is that we already have bookings for weddings and meeting date reservations two and three years into the future.”

Tiffany Carberry, Housekeeping Manager: With their 113 room property well attended many nights, Tiffany has big shoes to fill. She also has many beds to make, rooms to check, carpets to sweep and fixtures to glisten!

Tiffany, with commitment, dedication and talent to her credit, became the housekeeping manager at a competing hotel facility by the time she was 22 years of age. Her move over to the Best Western Plus Camrose Resort Casino was a perfect fit for her. “Our rooms have Tiffany, Houseto be cleaned to hospital standards. My team of fourteen has clearly keeping Supervisor defined rules of care for every room, every day. We’re all fussy – make no mistake about it. We strive to have every inch of every room spotless. That includes light switches and light bulbs being dusted daily!”

Reports Tiffany: “As a department manager, it is my responsibility to hire and terminate if necessary, order supplies ensuring we keep an adequate par level and maintain a weekly cleaning list for the entire facility. My biggest responsibility though, is to our guests. My job is not complete until every room is manicured and checked, top to bottom, every day. Only then will our guests want to come back, and refer us to others.

Keisha Fahey, Food and Beverage Manager: Twenty years of exemplary and proficient customer service – that about sums up the career of Keisha. One year ago, Keisha,(who loves to talk) made the move with her family from Ontario and soon after took on the responsibility of managing the food and beverage operations in the 100-plus seat Camrose Resort Casino lounge. “My position involves ordering and inventory control and all of the background tasks that are crucial to the smooth operation any food and beverage business demands. What makes our lounge so unique and popular though, is the Keisha, Food & Beverage Manager atmosphere. Our clients know we naturally make them feel special. It’s eye contact, it’s conversations, it’s listening, it’s our sincere invite for clients to come back and join us again that is allowing us to have impressive growth in business – month after month. Sure we offer impressive food quality, and yes, we provide terrific drink selections at competitive prices, but ultimately, our big difference is our continuing effort to strive for enhanced customer service. It’s the first thing you’ll notice when you visit us. It will also be the lasting memory when you return to your home, occupation or hotel room. That’s why people are coming back!

Amy Vikse, Restaurant Manager: With sixteen years of hospitality experience already to her credit, Amy Vikse glides quickly and efficiently around the 100 seat Eats restaurant she manages. Her duty isn’t limited to ensuring guests have a positive dining experience, Amy is also entrusted to hire and train her minimum 15-person staff, schedule for maximum efficiency and keep the dining room in spotless, pristine condition, always. The formula is working – Eats Restaurant has already earned a glowing reputation from industry experts. The real evidence, though is the hundreds’ of Amy Vikse, Restaurant Manager people who come back time and time again for regular dining, the incredible Friday evening Seafood Buffet and the Sunday Brunch that is the talk of the town. Amy and her friendly, professional crew of servers and busing staff, backed by chefs and kitchen personnel assembled strategically on the basis of talent and experience, are there to serve you seven days per week.

Congratulations to Camrose Camerata, who will be representing Alberta in the 2013 Canadian National Music Festival choral competition. The Camrose choir, which is directed by Joy-Anne Murphy and accompanied by Teresa Wiedrick, performed several numbers from their 2013 concert repertoire at Camrose and District Music Festival in April and were recommended by the adjudicator to participate in the Provincial Music Festival in the provincial national class for community choirs 19 years and over. They won first place! This was a recorded competition and the recording will now go on to compete with other choirs at the national level!

Congratulations are also due to several Camrose and District solo performers who earned honours in the live competitions at the provincial festival in Edmonton May 29 to June 1. In boys' vocal solo, 16 years and under, out of a group of 14 singers, the class winners were both from Camrose: first place to Adam Link, representing Leduc Festival, and second place to Colden Palo, representing Camrose and District Festival. Both Colden and Adam also participated in the musical theatre – ballad six and under class. Darian Yurkoski tied for second place in musical theatre up-tempo 16 years and under in a field of 22 performers.

Audrey Axten tied for second place out of 11 competitors in the Grades 9 and 10 piano solo class Another provincial winner with Camrose connections was Mairie Irene McCormack, a graduate of Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta and a former vocal student of Kathleen Corcoran, who will represent Alberta in the provincial national vocal solo class at the National Music Festival to take place August 8-10 in Waterloo, Ontario. At the provincial festival she was representing St. Albert Rotary Festival. All of the 2013 Provincial Festival winners are posted on the Alberta Music Festival website www.albertamusicfestival.org.

Hay Bale Art part of Prairie Fun Days event

Clubs, organizations, businesses and individuals from Camrose and Camrose County will have the opportunity to express their creativity and win prizes in the UFA Havin' a Hay Day Hay Bale Art Contest that will be part of the August 24 and 25 Prairie Fun Days.

The challenge is to make a roadside sculpture from bales – round or square, large or small that can be seen by those travelling the Prairie Fun Days route.

"Contestants will be able to incorporate any kind of materials they want into the bales to make them interesting," said Prairie Fun Days project manager Barb McDonald.

"The only limit is their imagination."

Winners will be determined by the number of votes that are cast at each of the manned Prairie Fun Days stops. First prize for an organization is a $400 UFA gift certificate. First prize for an individual or family is a $200 gift certificate donated by UFA, and a framed print, Time to Move On, donated by Guest House Gallery. Second prize for an individual or family is a $100 gift certificate donated by UFA and a framed print, Country Gardens, donated by Camrose Heritage Railway Station and Park.

Honourable mention prizes will be supplied by Battle River Implements Ltd. and Camrose Dynamic Sales and Service Inc. "People may vote at each of the stations or wait until the end until they have seen all of the sculptures," said McDonald.

The idea for the hay bale contest came from the State of Montana.

"They have a huge one there every year, and it has been very popular," said McDonald.

The hay bale art contest is being billed as a great promotional tool.

Some of the bales that are left standing at the end of the contest may receive world-wide exposure from the televised coverage of the Tour de l'Alberta, which will follow a few days later.

"Highway 833 north of Camrose is a route being used by both Prairie Fun Days and the bicycle tour," said McDonald.

Havin' a Hay Day contest entry forms are available from now to the middle of August from the Camrose Railway Station, Camrose County office, the Visitor Information Centre in Camrose, UFA, Tourism Camrose, Half Diamond Sales in Meeting Creek, Drever Agencies, and Schnell & Barrie.

Students go to Reading University for the summer Reading University students at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta were kept busy last week with activities designed to increase their literacy skills.

Zetsen charity home beginning to take shape

By Dan Jensen

The new Zetsen Master Builders charity home is beginning to take shape.

"We've come a long way in a short period of time since the groundbreaking at the start of June," said Zetsen Master Builders co-owner Garry Zetsen. "The structure is up, the shingles are on, the rough-ins are nearly done and the insulators will be starting at the end of the week."

The home is one of Zetsen Master Builders' newest models, featuring an oversize garage, four bedrooms and a number of unique features.

"I am really pleased with the design concepts," said Zetsen. "It is going to make somebody an exceptionally fine home."

Zetsen expects the home will be finished and ready to be placed on the market by the end of August or start of September.

"We're ahead of schedule so we should have no problems with meeting that timeframe," said Zetsen.

The charity home is a joint effort by Zetsen Master Builders and members of the Camrose building community who are providing discounts on materials and labour with the goal of maximizing the amount of money that can be turned over to the Battle River Community Foundation once owners can be found and the sale is finalized.

"We have received tremendous buy-in from the craftsmen and artisans, suppliers and sub-suppliers," said Zetsen. "I am astounded by the generosity the building community is showing. Nobody says no.

We have people in this community with very big hearts."

Zetsen Master Builders realized $90,000 in profit from the sale of its last charity home.

"As a competitive guy I think we can beat that number," said Zetsen. "I am sure we can do $60,000 but the competitive side

of me says we have to beat the last total."

Reading University

Battle River Community Foundation will place one-third of the sale proceeds to establish an endowment fund that will support Reading University, a four-week long summer program intended to increase the literacy skills of children in Grades 1 and 2 who are not yet reading at grade level so that they can succeed in school and beyond. The program was first offered in Camrose in the summer of 2009. In 2010, 2011 and 2012 it was offered in both Camrose and Tofield. This

year, Reading University is now in session in Camrose and a Flagstaff Campus in Killam.

Battle River Community Foundation's major Reading University partners are Battle River School Division and the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta. Other organizations, including the local Adult Read and Write Program, Science Alberta Foundation, as well as individual volunteers, have also contributed in important ways.

In order to meet the challenges of the changing world, stu-

dents need to be literate. Research says that students spend the first three years at school learning how to read, then the next nine years, and for the rest of their lives, using their reading skills to learn everything else. If a child doesn't get a good grasp of those basic reading skills by the end of the third grade, he or she is likely to get further behind and find it more difficult to succeed in learning and in life.

Reading University programs are designed to be interesting, engaging and fun, so that students not only embrace their skills but also become more excited about what they are learning.

"They are learning to read without ever realizing that it is happening," said BRCF board chair Blain Fowler. "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."

Reading University has had good support from Battle River School Division instructors.

Almost 30 teachers applied for the four lead instructional 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," said Fowler.

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

Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger has described Reading University as a truly special program in which parents, generous community members come together to make a lasting difference in the lives of young people.

"They clearly know how important literacy is as a foun-

dation for lifelong learning, for career success, for personal satisfaction, and for building a meaningful life," said Dr. Berger at the Reading University's 2012 graduation. "They also know how essential it is to develop joyful, excited learners in the elementary grades."

The Reading University program started in 2009 after representatives of Battle River Community Foundation approached the Battle River School Division to see if the two could work together to initiate a literacy program similar to one that was working in Indiana. It wasn't long before the university campus joined the conversation and an exciting new partnership was born, with each of the three main players taking on a different role. The School Division took responsibility for designing an educational program, recruiting and paying staff, and inviting the appropriate children to participate.

The Community Foundation committed to matching funds contributed by the School Division, and Augustana committed to providing space and meals for participants.

A total of 189 students have graduated from the Reading University program. Said one student, "I am going to do better in school now." Said another, "I didn't know you had to read to be a pilot or a policeman, but you do."

Zetsen said in many ways, building a home is similar to building literacy.

"Like a home, literacy provides the foundation for other things to happen in life. You need the basics first before you go on to other things."

Anyone who would like to make a donation in support of the Reading University program is encouraged to contact the Battle River Community Foundation office at 780-679-0449.

Grateful Grannies and green couple hosting garden party

By Barb Stroh, a Grateful Granny

The Grateful Grannies, together with Sheila and Randy Niven, the green thumbers, will host a Garden Party in Nivens’ garden from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 21. The address is 300262A Street. This event is open to the public. There will be live music, and light refreshments will be served as you enjoy the tranquil setting of this unique and thriving garden. To get in the spirit of the Garden Party you may want to dig out your hat and gloves!

The Nivens started their garden eleven years ago. Their knowledge and passion for growing fit their quest for a lovely garden space. Randy said, “We bought a very large city lot, filled it with thirty-five truckloads of black soil and three tandem trucks of compost. That was the ideal base for growing things.”

Randy’s agricultural knowledge and both of their farming backgrounds have helped to realize this dream garden. Sheila said she had a mental image of what she wanted but not a detailed plan. She wanted year-round color. The couple split the duties: Randy does the vegetables, the building and some weeding with the hoe. Sheila does the annuals and perennials and the fine work on her knees. “Plants love this space,” says Sheila. “It is a challenge to keep everything under control. We can’t turn our backs on this garden or it gets out of control. We put in a few hours every day and use liberal amounts of fertilizer.”

The Nivens acknowledge

Sheila and Randy Niven.

their good fortunes and look forward to giving back to the larger community by supporting the Grateful Grannies. During the

Garden Party donations to the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation will be accepted.

The Grateful Grannies are comprised of grandmothers and grand “others” from Camrose and area who are committed to

supporting the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. The Grateful Grannies are one of over 240 Grandmother Groups across Canada who raise funds to assist grandmothers in subSaharan Africa as they care for a generation of orphaned grandchildren and others affected by HIV/AIDS. Over 11.6 million children have been orphaned by AIDS on the continent. The African grandmothers, despite their hardships, have become the heart and the energy behind the response to the pandemic.

The rain date for the Garden Party is Sunday, August 11, at the same time and location. For more information call Sheila at 780-672-9340 or Mardell at 780-672-8507.

Local musicians excel Continued from page 10

Other provincial festival participants who represented Camrose festival well though they did not come home with placings were: Chorazz! in senior high school choir, Oliver Elliott in 12 and under vocal solo, and Kayla Keech in girls' vocal solo 16 years and under.

Hannah Nichol was recommended in musical theatre 12 years and under but was unable to attend.

Congratulations also to the teachers/directors whose instruction facilitated these excellent results: Joy-Anne Murphy, Inna Luzanac, Arlene Klonteig, Charlene Brown, Tom Spila, Michelle Kennedy Hawkins. Camrose and area residents are indeed fortunate to have so many opportunities to participate in music activities under the leadership of these and other excellent musicians in our community.

Festival committee members needed

The provincial and national festival competitors all performed first at the local festival level. 2013 Camrose and District Music Festival held April 15-19 was the 32nd consecutive annual music festival in Camrose. The festival has continued to thrive thanks to the dedication of a small group of volunteers. Several of the key committee members, some of whom have devoted 10 years or more as festival committee volunteers, are retiring as of the end of the 2013 season. Everyone involved with the festival movement is grateful for their dedication to promoting music, speech and dance in our community.

Now new committee members are essential to fill the vacated positions if Camrose is to continue to offer this opportunity to its young musicians! If you have a desire to keep the festival movement alive in Camrose, please take this opportunity to become part of the committee. Volunteers are needed in the areas of publicity, fund raising, scheduling, adjudicator coordinator, volunteer coordinator, and computer operator. Musical knowledge is not a requirement for most of these positions. For more information and a summary of job descriptions check the new festival website, www.camrosemusicfestival.ca.

Please act now to offer your assistance for 2014 festival! Contact Cathy at 780-679-0122.

BIG VALLEY JAMBOREE!

by Berdie Fowler

Need vision, wisdom and foresight “How would you like to go out for some maple walnut ice cream?” asked my visitor.

“Sounds good to me,” I replied, and off we went.

We drove the short distance to Mirror Lake Park by the Bill Fowler Centre. It was a popular spot on this typical Alberta summer evening with sun still high in a clear blue sky.

We took the one parking space left which was within sight of the children’s playground area with its colorful slides, ladders and other attractions which delight children. Caretakers watched from adjacent picnic tables.

The spot also overlooked the popular walking trail which circles the lake and is part of the network of walking trails following the Stoney Creek as it winds its way through our picturesque little city. Off to the right we could see the image of the sharp-steepled white church beautifully mirrored in the calm lake. Although not in view at the moment, we knew there were elegant white swans paddling silently within the spray of the Rotary Club fountain a short distance away.

As we savoured our ice cream, along came the popular little train which does the two-kilometre circuit around the lake. It stopped to let a full load disembark and another lot of eager passengers get on board. With a toot, laughter, and arms waving good-byes, the little train was off again – with three more youngsters happily chasing the caboose.

This enjoyable outing turned my thoughts back some fifty plus years when local citizens were mulling the concept of beautification of our community. Business owners were encouraged to have planters full of summer blooms, residential owners to have tidy lawns and beautiful flower beds.

They also talked of spending public money to develop Mirror Lake Park and a scenic walking trail following Stoney Creek. Enthusiasm oscillated for several decades. Some folks favoured the concept of such community enhancements; others argued that spending hard-working taxpayers' dollars on parks and trails would be wasteful and irresponsible. Now, fifty to sixty years later, we are grateful for the foresight, wisdom and tenacity of those who would not let the vision of the public parks system wilt and die.

There is no question that our parks and trails system has improved the health of our citizenry. For almost forty years I lived adjacent to the park and its paved all-season trails; I observed its constant use, free of charge, by people of all ages – from toddlers in prams or sleds to disabled persons in wheel chairs. Rich or poor, they all came for physical and mental renewal and often social as well, as they walked, jogged, and cycled, or stopped to chat or rest with others doing the same.

Is the park system of economic benefit? It certainly boosts the sales of the ice cream vendor! Likewise, it is a tourist trap providing a place for children of travelling families to play while adults get lure information at the Bill Fowler Centre that keeps them here longer. Life-enhancing amenities attract commercial and industrial enterprises to a community because they choose locations in which their employees would want to live and thrive. Amenities and services attract retirees, too, who later become clients of our health and long term care services – the industry which accounts for our largest employer of both professional and trades persons. There is a precise line on the scale that marks the balance point between what some call wasteful spending and others a responsible use of taxpayers' dollars.

May we have the vision, wisdom and foresight to find that balance point – and then make wise choices.

Prairie Fun Days

Prairie Fun Days is a self-guided driving excursion that offers travellers the chance to visit interesting sites, sample fresh produce and appreciate nature.

"We have 25 stops this year, 12 on the northern loop and 13 on the southern," said McDonald.

The northern loop on Saturday, August 24, will include UFA in Camrose, which will be serving refreshments and other goodies, Maplewood Acres Market Garden and Greenhouse, Hay Lakes Telegraph Park, Glen View Organic Farm and Greenhouse, Kingman Museum and Greenhouse, Trondhjem Lutheran Church, Transfiguration of Our Lord Ukrainian Catholic Church, St. Stanislaus Church, Hampton School, Good Earth Pottery, Alberta's Littlest Airport, and Camrose County Nature Conservation Centre.

The southern loop on Sunday, August 25, will feature the Meeting Creek railway station and historic elevator, Bashaw Fire Hall Museum, Bashaw Centennial Nature Trail, Fridhem Historical Church, the Guest House Gallery, Friends of Little Beaver Lake Society at Ferintosh, Ferintosh Manor Bed and Breakfast, Roseberry Lane Market Garden, Nifty Things at New Norway, Verdun School, the Peter Fidler monument – which pinpoints the exact location where Peter Fidler crossed the Battle River in 1792, the Duhamel campsite, and the St. Thomas Catholic Church.

Camrose County reeve Don Gregorwich believes Prairie Fun Days is an excellent way to showcase the area's top attractions.

"It is a really relevant idea," said Gregorwich. "If you get in the car and go from one end of the County to the other you will be amazed at the diversity and geography, and the types of businesses and farms that are out there, all of which have something different. Too often we just get in the car and we go great distances, not appreciating what we have right here at home."

If your business needs a tune-up, or needs to get back in shape, then a summer BootCamp might provide a fresh outlook.

The Rural Alberta Business Centre (RABC) is hosting a Business Plan BootCamp starting in September. "This camp is designed to give you the tools to put together a dynamic business plan, have professionals review it and give you constructive feed-

back, as well as a chance to win a cash prize to start or grow your business," said Louise Jones, small business advisor at RABC. "If you are planning on starting a business, wanting to grow your existing business, or just need to update your business plan, this series of workshops is designed for you," Louise added.

The camp is limited to 10 participants. Send in your appli-

cation early to take advantage of the early bird pricing.

The first day will cover marketing and market research, the second session is on financial planning, and the final day discusses operations and sales pitch.

The BootCamp will be held Sept. 10, 17 and 24 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., at 4336-41 Street.

Hard decisions

Ron Pilger’s editorial titled “New City Council Needs Balance” is a useful summary of recent major city expenditures and commitments. When money is easy to get (either through borrowing at low interest rates or from Provincial Grants) it’s easy to satisfy everyone’s wants.

But careless spending on building facilities is often only half the problem since running them is a constant and thankless drain of funds. I plan to run for city council this fall because we are now facing hard decisions about our priorities. As a community our credit cards are maxed out and we will face the same problems that any individual faces in that situation. I think it’s more than balance we need: what we need is the strong leadership making the right decisions.

Ron also questions why Camrose is often passed over for private business investment.

What I think we need to look at is the value of business investments as they relate to the city (cost/benefit analysis). What’s it worth to us as a community?

What is the economic value of the jobs, the tax revenues, the attraction of consumers and other businesses, the sharing of utility costs, etc. of someone building a new business in Camrose? Recognizing those benefits, we have to be prepared to share some of that value with the new businesses. Other cities do share costs and that is why they get these new businesses in their community. (The new hockey arena in Edmonton is an example.) We have to make deals if we want to grow, but we also need to realize that not all residents of Camrose think concessions to businesses are desirable. So here we do need

balance and more hard decisions have to be made.

Needs vs. wants

Excellent piece in today's Booster that should be food for thought for us all. Although we've only lived in Camrose for 10 years we consider it our home, and love our city. I know our Councillors are decent well-meaning people but it's time for them to start separating needs from wants. If you intend to write again on the subject perhaps you could encourage some young people and women to consider running for council.

Business minds needed

I started writing this letter many times in recent months.

Ron Pilger's editorial in the July 9 edition of The Camrose Booster made me finally complete it.

I admire Greg Wood's integrity for resigning from Camrose City council. I am sure he regrets having to make such a drastic move, but I am very appreciative that his conscience ruled. Greg acted on his principles as a business person. As Ron pointed out, we have really gone on a spending spree in recent years. While it is fine we have had provincial help with funding our highest profile projects, I agree with his concern that local taxpayers might be the only source for the future funding of repairs and upgrades on our public facilities.

As a taxpayer I am concerned when council seems to be lacking in business minds to serve the community. We can't go on passing the plate twice or simply sending in purchase requisitions.

Greg Wood served us as a very experienced and knowledgeable business person. He treated his City business as a business. I hope he runs for council again, and others like him.

Further quoting from The Camrose Booster, June 18, 2013: "Marshall Chalmers concluded by suggesting council should do what it takes to make sure Camrose remains senior friendly." I ask, why does the transportation committee and council seem to be more concerned about students getting bus service than seniors having a bus service to Edmonton?

Camrose Special Olympics hosts ball tournament Kodiaks sign Brown

By Murray Green

By Murray Green

The Camrose Kodiaks have a new bear in camp.

The junior squad signed Quinn Brown who was a member of the national winning Red Deer midget tripleA Optimist Chiefs team that won the Telus Cup. “We are excited to add a player of Quinn’s caliber to our organization. Quinn is a two-time national champion, a captain and a leader," expressed Kodiaks' coach and general manager. "He is going to be a great addition to our back end for this upcoming season. He comes from a great family background and he has the same standards that we have as an organization.”

Quinn will be in Camrose participating in a conditioning camp from Aug. 12 to 16. He will also be helping at the Kodiaks' Hockey School from Aug. 19 to 23.

The Kodiaks regular training camp opens on Friday, Aug. 23, and the inter-squad game is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 24, at the EnCana Arena.

The Camrose Cardinals were declared the winners of the Special Olympics ball tournament in Camrose on July 6.

Four teams competed in the intermediate division. Camrose and Edmonton Blue both played well in the first game. When the dust settled and the teams ran out of innings, the game was called a tie.

Edmonton Green beat Olds the second game to advance to the final. Since the tie didn't determine which team should advance, it was decided the oldfashioned way. After a coin toss Camrose advanced to the final and beat Edmonton Green.

Five teams were entered in the beginner division. This division plays modified slow-pitch rules.

"After three pitches the batter has a choice to take a walk to first, or bat off the tee.

This ensures all athletes have the opportunity to get on base," explained Carol Wideman, Special Olympics Camrose affiliate chair. "All players receive a turn to bat each inning and all players go out in field each inning. Special Olympics Camrose stresses participation, good sportsmanship and fun."

Every athlete receives a gold medallion because every athlete is a winner. The Cardinals received the Team with the Best Laughs honour, the Camrose Cheetahs number one team were named

the team with the Best Smiles and the Cheetahs #2 squad were honoured because they were the Team Most Eager to Help.

A banquet and dance fol-

lowed the tournament at the Moose Hall.

Camrose athletes and coaches travel to Olds on Saturday,

July 20, for the final tournament and games of the season.

Currently, Camrose has three ball teams with 42 athletes and 13 coaches.

Minor baseball teams advance to provincials

By Murray Green

Camrose Cougars catcher Kobe Charchun waits for the ball before applying a tag on the St. Albert Cardinals' player at Kin Park on July 6.

The Camrose Cougars Royals mosquito club coached by Bob Charchun went 2-2 last weekend to have an overall record of 4-2.

The record is good enough for a spot at the Tier 1 provincials in Okotoks on July 26 to 28. "We lost to St. Albert 11-6 in the first game, but came back to win 17-15 in the final game," said coach Bob. Camrose beat the Edmonton Angels 13-3 and lost 21-20 in three extra innings in the other matches.

Scott Sitler is coaching the mosquito Cougars Reds in the Tier 3 or 4 division. The team also went 4-2 and should advance.

The peewee Cougars Royals led by coach Darryl Zimmer are competing in the Tier 1 category. "We are now 11-4 in the tiering games," said manager Barry Phillips.

In Sherwood Park, Camrose crushed St. Albert 15-2 in the first game. Pitcher Tim Lynes tossed five innings and gave up three hits and two walks, while striking out two batters.

Carson Weins led the offence with three hits, four RBIs and two scored runs. "We scored five runs in the first and six runs in the fourth inning. We also played well on defence."

Camrose defeated Veteran (East Central) 12-0 with pitcher Jake Gusse picking up the win. He threw five innings and gave up two hits and three walks, while striking out three in Veteran's first loss of the year.

Blake Feth belted a double in the third inning to knock in three runs and bounced the opposing starting pitcher out of the game.

Coach Brian Hoglund is guiding the peewee Cougars Red squad in Tier 3 or 4. The team has played well and should be in Tier 3 for provincials.

Darrell Heck coached the first bantam club in the Tier 1 division, which is currently 6-0 in qualifying games and is making a bid to host provincials on the July 26 to 28 weekend.

The bantam Cougars Reds squad is coached by Doug Schoenknecht and will be in either the Tier 3 or 4 division.

The midget club is coached by Lee Palmer and Camrose beat the South Jasper Place Jays 14-1, nailed the St. Albert Cardinals 14-3 and lost to the Edmonton Angels 5-2 on the July 6 and 7 weekend. The team will be playing some exhibition games to prepare for provincials on July 26 to 28.

Tag artist causes excessive damage

By Murray Green

Someone with a grudge left about 18 marks of tagging on private property.

"Camrose Police Service patrol investigators are currently working on a file where we have had 18 reported occurrences of graffiti mischief that occurred through the evening and night of June 21 and 22," said Cst. Marc Cossette. "It appears that the graffiti was caused by one suspect due to the same colour and writing style."

Graffiti usually is on the increase during the grad season and when the weather is warmer.

However, the recent rash of graffiti appears to be done by one or two people. "We are looking for the public to help us. We are asking that if anyone sees anybody spray painting or even wandering about during the night, to contact us to assist us in the cases," said Cst. Matthew Wilton, forensic identification specialist and crime prevention officer.

The spray painting is believed to have taken place between 11 p.m. on June 21 and 4 a.m. on June 22 in the area north of Marler Drive and south of the Camrose Composite High School.

Items that were spray painted included motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, garages, fences and driveways.

"The cost associated to the damage of property is quite excessive and is estimated at a substantial figure," added Cst. Wilton.

"We have had grad tags and some art work in the past, but spray painting seems to be on the increase over the last two years," said Cst. Marc Cossette. "It can cause a lot of damage, so we are asking for people in the community to report incidents if they see someone causing mischief by tagging, or give us leads if they hear someone talking about tagging.

Sometimes it is an artist who has colourful art work and bubbly letters. But in this case, the art work is not very good and it seems to be sending a message against somebody (Mcully is a familiar theme), or about themselves."

If artists are proud of their work, they usually initial it. However, in this case the messages suggest conflict with someone.

"Usually, an artist will create tags over a long period of time,

but these (18 tags) were done in one night and were done in a hurry. If someone is proud of their work they tell others about it," said Cst. Cossette. "If someone hears about anyone bragging about tagging through Facebook or Twitter, let us know and we can track down the leads."

The recent tagging was within a four-block area. "You can tell that someone was within walking distance and hit every second or third property," Cst. Cossette said. "We can tell where the person started north of Marler because the paint was darker and as they went towards CCHS the paint became lighter as they were running out."

The tagging was done during the Relay for Life event. "We are hoping that people were around and may have seen something suspicious," added Cst. Cossette. "We remind people to call us if they see anyone causing mischief, or even if they recall someone around."

Tagging is a form of mischief.

Anyone who destroys or damages property can be charged with mischief that could result in an indictable offence, or summary conviction where the common penalty would be a fine with probation and a jail term up to six months. A restitution order probably would be attached.

"Spray painting stucco or cement takes a lot of money to cover up, so the damage can be costly to repair," said Cst. Cossette. "Some homeowners may think one tip isn't going to help, but when you have several tips together it can help us a lot."

Since 2009, the number of mischief property damage charges has gone down due to dedicated officers and volunteer tips from the community. Property damage under $5,000 had 420 cases in 2009, 354 files in 2010, 344 in 2011 and 260 last year.

If you have information about this or any other crime, call the Camrose Police Service at 780672-4444. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). Information can be submitted online at www.tipssubmit.com.

You can also send your tip via text message to Crimes (274637) and start your text with TIP205. You do not have to reveal your identity.

Bailey Lievers Bailey Jordan Lievers of Camrose passed away on Sunday, July 7, 2013 at the age of 18 years.

Bailey was born on December 11, 1994 at 9:32 p.m. at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton, AB and weighed 6 pounds 6 ounces. Bailey attended school in Camrose, AB at Sparling School from Kindergarten to Grade 5, Jack Stuart School for Grade 6, Charlie Killam for Grades 7 to 9, Camrose Composite High School for Grades 10 to 12. She graduated in 2012. Bailey attended the University of Alberta where she completed the first year of her major in Environmental Science.

Bailey loved to be with friends, family and, most of all, her sister Morgan.

Morgan was the centre of her universe – the two were inseparable.

Bailey enjoyed so many things. A few of them included camping trips where she loved to go quadding, fishing and boating. Bailey loved to travel – Mexico, Quebec, California, Arizona and all over Alberta and BC. Bailey loved her two dogs, Wilson and Kobe, and her cat, Abbey. A few of her favorite foods were bacon, KD (Kraft Dinner), Mini Eggs, Smarties, Booster Juice, chocolate, granola bars, and pretty much anything that was not a fruit or vegetable. Bailey was always taking naps. The car, the couch, social functions – it was not uncommon to find her fast asleep somewhere. She also loved to go shopping and add to her color-coordinated closet, and she always made sure her hair was perfect.

Bailey is survived by her parents Darren and Jennifer; sister Morgan; grandparents Don and Linda Lievers; grandmother Linda Ripley; aunts Dawn, Charlene, Stephanie, Sondra and Allison; uncles Kevin, Curtis and Chuck; and cousins Vanessa, Hayden and Chaysa.

To know Bailey was to instantly fall in love with the outgoing, kind, sweet and compassionate girl who was truly beautiful on both the inside and out.

She always put others ahead of herself and would do anything for anyone at a moment’s notice. She was always so happy and positive and people were drawn to her because of it. Bailey’s laugh was even more unforgettable – the girl laughed from the heart and could turn anyone’s bad day into a great one.

A funeral service was held on Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. from Camrose Regional Exhibition (4250 Exhibition Drive, Camrose).

Jeep Wrangler The confidence to go anywhere

By Dan Jensen

The 2013 Jeep Wrangler at Camrose Chrysler gives you the confidence to go anywhere and do anything.

"It expands your horizons with best in class capability, a 285 horsepower Pentastar VVT V6 engine and an enhanced interior designed for comfort," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier.

Standing tall

The traction provided by Jeep Wrangler helps you maintain controlled forward motion on snowy backroads and icy bridges. Tru-Lok front and rear electronic differentials balance speed between the left and right wheels, maintaining forward momentum for the ultimate in traction. An instrument panel mounted rocker switch can lock either the rear or both axles.

The suspension system enhances on- and off-road performance by maximizing flexibility, axle articulation and wheel travel. Solid axles with locating arms, coil springs, track/stabilizer bars, front steering damper and tunable monotube shock absorbers are firm at low speeds and more relaxed at higher speeds.

The articulation standard indicates that when one or more wheels are elevated the Jeep 4x4 system helps the others stay on the ground longer to keep you moving.

Wrangler's approach, departure and breakover angles are designed to let you clear logs, rocks and uneven ground. The undercarriage is protected with forged skid plates that cover the most valuable underbody elements.

Additional electrical and body seals give Wrangler the capability to safety manage in up to 76 cm of water, while precision steering and optimized wheelbases ensure the ability to navigate narrow gaps, dodge emergency situations, and avoid cosmetic damage to underbody sills.

Stamped steel skid plates defend the fuel tank and transfer case.

and enhance insulation. The spring-lift assist on Wrangler Unlimited models helps make your soft top easier to open and close.

The Freedom Top Hardtop allows sun-exposure control by separating into three easy-to-store pieces. Plus, on Sahara and Rubicon models, your hardtop colour can match your paint colour.

Peace of mind

Raw power

The 3.6 Pentastar engine with variable valve timing (VVT) roars to life, delivering an impressive 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque.

"With exceptional refinement and power the Pentastar engine answered the quest for the right amount of muscle to match Wrangler's legendary brawn," states Jeep. "It moves forward with a unique oil pan, an acoustic engine cover to help mask noise, optimized upper intake airflow for torque, and added equal length downpipes to assist low and mid range torque response."

Also unique to the Pentastar are the front end accessory drive and high mounted rear facing alternator for water fording.

The Pentastar comes standard with an exceptionally capable six-speed manual. Or, you can opt for the smooth shifting five-speed automatic. This strategically optimized automatic operates in an efficient RPM range, which helps maximize fuel economy, while its low first gear ratio gives off-road capability via a lower overall crawl ratio.

First class ride

The Jeep Wrangler is finely wrought with classic design details. Satin silver and chrome accents, avail-

able automatic temperature control, and newly designed, heated, leather-faced seats are embedded into Wrangler's premium soft-touch interior. The steering wheel places cruise, audio and available electronic vehicle information centre controls right at your fingertips.

The Uconnect 130 radio with an MP3 auxiliary input jack and six speaker audio system is standard.

There are two tweeters and four speakers. An available premium sound system, including six Alpine speakers and a subwoofer with 368 watt amplifier delivers improved, high quality sound throughout the cabin.

Uconnect hands-free communication with Bluetooth lets you use your voice to control the phone, radio, navigation and music.

New LED lights offer greater illumination with longer lasting, more energy efficient bulbs.

Top down adventure

The Sunrider Soft Top on Jeep Wrangler Rubicon features a convenient cable release that quickly lets the sunshine in without having to fold back the entire top.

Or, fold and tuck it all away. It's made of a three-ply fabric that helps deflect road sounds, absorb wind noise,

John Wigston The Jeep Wrangler offers peace of mind that Camrose Chrysler takes you and yours far.

Electronic Stability Control is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicles. It utilizes hydraulic brake assist, traction control, Electronic Roll Mitigation and Trailer Sway Control to constantly monitor driver input against the vehicle's actual course. If needed, ESC automatically brakes and/or reduces engine torque, while ERM estimates the potential need for wheel lift, reducing engine power and applying the brakes if needed. TSC detects sway unique to trailering and engages the brakes to slow the vehicle, increasing brake force to one side of the vehicle to help counteract the sway from the trailer. ESC has three modes: full-on, partial-on (shuts off traction control), and full-off (ideal for road driving).

The Enhanced Accident Response System makes it easier for emergency personnel to see and reach occupants in the event of an accident by turning on interior lighting, flashing hazard lamps and unlocking doors after air bag deployment. It also shuts off the flow of fuel to the engine once the vehicle comes to a stop.

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.

ROSE CITY FARMERS’ MARKET is happy to announce fresh veggies and meat now available at Thursday’s ONLY market, 2 - 7 p.m., Duggan Mall Camrose Come check us out!

Steer Clear of Abbreviations

LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE AND CAMROSE SPIRALS STEAK FRY at the Moose Family Centre, Wednesday, July 17, 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Tickets at door. $13 for 10 oz. steak and all the trimmings. Hamburger plates available.

Be Honest

ECUMENICAL SERVICE, ST. THOMAS HISTORIC CHURCH, DUHAMEL – July 21, 7:00 p.m. Guest speaker: Verlyn Olson, Minister of Agriculture. Everyone welcome. Ladies, please bring lunch.

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.

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.

Local girls attend U16 hockey camp in Camrose

By Murray Green

Camrose will have three players with ties to the community when it hosts the U16 female hockey camp on July 18 to 21 in the EnCana Arena.

Taylor Kezama of Camrose, Jillian MacWilliam of Hay Lakes, and Kathryn Gotaas of Sherwood Park are all in the Team Alberta program. "I expect the camp to be really high tempo and there will be a lot of good players," said Jillian.

"It is also going to be a fun learning experience."

Taylor played with the Camrose Bulldogs and Jillian played with both the bantam and midget female teams last year in Camrose. Kathryn's brother Cam plays for the Camrose Kodiaks and her father played his minor hockey in Camrose.

"I played about 87 games last year and that has prepared me for this camp and for playing at a higher level this coming season," added Jillian. "When I moved up to the midget team, I definitely received a challenge and had to push myself harder. I know what to expect for this year."

The U16 female provincial camp is the second stage of the development and identification process that feeds Team Alberta U18.

A four-day camp with 60 players, six coaches and three trainers was identified and invited to Camrose after the Team Alberta Challenge and Alberta Winter Games were held.

"It is a big honour to be invited to this camp. It shows that all of the hard work in the past has paid off," Jillian said. "When you work really hard for this it then becomes a big accomplishment to get to this point."

Female hockey programs in schools such as Warner or Edge Academy also watch the players closely to attract players into their program. Jillian wants to play after her minor hockey is finished. "I started playing since I was three. I always watched my

brother and wanted to play like he did. I like the aggressiveness and always wanted to play my best.

Hockey is my favourite sport and I don't get tired of it."

Jillian's dream is to play in the Olympic Games one day. "I want to be proud to represent my country at the Games. After that, I would like to coach and help younger athletes," she added. "I want to help younger girls to be passionate about hockey."

Through high intensity onand off-ice training, as well as classroom sessions, the athletes are given the opportunity to develop their skills within the game of hockey and as people. The U16 program strives to create an environment where players, coaches, trainers and administrators can meet new friends, compete with their peers and approach levels of commitment and excellence that each has the potential to achieve.

"I've been to camps before with Taylor and Kathryn and a lot of the same players. You get to know them and make new friends at camps like this," Jillian said. "I played with her (Kathryn) in the spring and liked her. I'm excited to play with her again."

Both Jillian and Kathryn will be on team Gold, while Taylor will suit up for Team Blue at the camp.

"I encourage everyone, no matter how big or tall you are, to always strive to be the best and to have that determination because you never know how far you can go," added Jillian. "If you work hard every day, you can attend camps like this. All of the girls in Camrose should sign up for hockey because you don't know how good you can get, or where you can go.

It is so much fun. The coaches are amazing and Rhonda Broughton is the best coach I've ever had."

The program is designed to feed the U18 Team Alberta that competes either at the Women’s Hockey Challenge or the Canada Winter Games.

Take No Bull has a song, 14 contestants

By Murray Green

The singing pastor, Ken Grambo, has penned a song about the Take No Bull contest that is currently underway in Camrose.

Ken's "Take No Bull" song can be heard on a YouTube music video that supports the Family Violence Action Society's (FVAS) fundraising campaign. You can select your favourite contestant and donate to the fund-raising project by July 26 to support his or her goal of riding Wild West Willie in the BVJ Parade. Visit www.camrosefcss.ca and for more details.

Local supporters of Family Violence Action Society are raising funds through a contest to ride Wild West Willie, a 2,800 pound Brahma-cross steer, in the Big Valley Jamboree Parade on Aug. 1.

Competitors are striving to be among the top 10 fund-raisers from which one will be selected to make the novel ride as the parade marshal. Short-listed contestants earn one entry in the draw for each $100 they raise. The champion of 2013 Take No Bull, as well as runners-up will be determined by random draw among those qualifying.

Vying for the best seat in the parade are 14 contestants including Damien Brown, deputy police chief Lee Foreman, Samara Froland, Reeve Don Gregorwich, Peter Holliday, Lynne Kennedy, fire chief Peter Krich, Rod MacInnis, city councillor Ray McIsaac, Shelley Moch, Randal Nickel, Trent Reinke, Jan Turnbull and Holly Weiler.

Funds raised will help ensure continuation of individual counselling services for children, women and men impacted by family violence, as well as group programs for men and women wanting to end abuse in their homes or to learn to manage their own anger that affects other aspects of their lives.

“The top 10 contestants will be determined at 9 a.m. on July 26 based on donations each individual has raised,” said Sheralyn Dobos, program director for the Family Violence Action Society.

“We are encouraging the public to choose their favourite contestant and contribute to their fund-raising campaign.”

Donations can be made until the deadline to support any of the candidates. Donate either securely online at www.canadahelps.org/givingpages (enter the candidate’s name in the search field), or donate in person at BMO Camrose Branch, D&D Vehicle Sales, or at the Camrose and District Support Services. All donations are eligible for tax receipts.

Prizes for Take No Bull are sponsored by Panhandle Productions, Camrose Regional Exhibition and Lammle's Western Wear and Tack. Several local musicians and videographers have also supported the project with a recently released music video.

Bethany Group helps seniors affected

by Alberta flooding The Bethany Group will be helping seniors from Trinity Place Foundation in Calgary affected by the recent flood by providing housing and support.

The seniors will find a temporary home at Bashaw Valley Lodge recently vacated after residents moved into the new Bashaw Meadows facility earlier this year.

“We are pleased to have this opportunity to help other Albertans in need,” said Denis Beesley, president and CEO of The Bethany Group. “We could think of no better place than Bashaw to assist with this support, a community with a long tradition of caring and support.

I know that the community will welcome them all even for a short time.”

Approximately 50 seniors will move into Bashaw Valley Lodge and the new Bashaw Meadows by the end of the month. It is expected they will be housed there until the end of August, when their home in Calgary will be restored after the flooding.

The Bethany Group will provide staffing and caring support for these seniors, including meals and furnishings, until they can move back to their homes. The organization is now recruiting temporary workers from the community to help in this regard.

“Our community has always been welcoming and supportive. We are already looking at options on how we can help these seniors during this difficult time, and give them a great temporary home,” said Penny Shantz, Mayor of Bashaw.

To help the new residents adjust and to provide as comforting and home-like an experience as possible, entertainment opportunities are also being explored. If anyone from Bashaw or the surrounding communities is interested in providing entertainment or volunteering, please contact The Bethany Group at 780-679-2000.

Since its beginnings in 1922, The Bethany Group has responded to the needs of the community. Over the past 90 years, the organization has seen many changes, expanding its scope of services to over 20 communities in central Alberta. From continuing care, supportive living and independent living for seniors to a variety of housing programs including affordable and community housing for families and individuals, the organization remains committed to giving its residents and clients an enhanced quality of life while maintaining its faith-based roots.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM

Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality.

2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system .

3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water color.

4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity.

5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants.

The UDF program will begin July 18, 2013, starting with Zone A and will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discoloration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Ryan Baily at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780-672-4428. For more information please visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca.

Train rekindles community tourism spirit Photos by Murray Green, Camrose Booster

Beth Portman and Kevin Smith of Edmonton provided 1920s style music to entertain the passengers between stops from Forestburg and Kelsey.

Riding the train across the prairies brought back a lot of memories for passengers during the trial tourism run.

The Battle River Railway connects six rural communities and the tourism possibilities are endless in the future.

A giant baseball glove and a hotel sign welcomed passengers to Heisler on July 7.

John Oberg and the bagpipe sounds from Doug Brown led a parade to the train to launch the first trip west.

You can't have a party without a cake. Passengers were treated to a steak supper and a piece of cake after the journey.

The Friends of the Battle River Railway made the trip possible.

Rosalind area tractor pilot Reg Enright brought a wagon full of visitors to the Camrose County Nature Centre Park.

Conductor Ken Eshpeter welcomed about 70 passengers onto the car to celebrate the service.
