Fourteen community-minded individuals and friends of the Family Violence Action Society have been busy. Each has been attempting to raise impressive sums of money in a venture called Take No Bull. This fund-raising campaign, with a goal of raising $20,000, is to assist with much needed financial aid to offset fall programming costs. Take No Bull will help ensure group and individual counselling services are available locally for children, women and men affected by family violence. The ten individuals who raise the most money will each earn one contest entry for each $100 they raise. Up for grabs for the ten finalists, by way of random draw, is a novel prize, indeed. The winner, to be chosen on July 26, will have the honor of riding Wild West Willie, a 2800 pound Brahmacross steer, as Parade Marshall, in the August 1 Big Valley Jamboree Parade. The fourteen contestants are: Damien Brown, Deputy Chief Lee Foreman, Samara Froland, Reeve Don Gregorwich, Peter Holliday, Lynne Kennedy, Fire Chief Peter Krich, Ron MacInnis, Councillor Ray McIsaac, Shelley Moch, Randal Nickel, Trent Reinke, Jan Turnbull and Holly Weiler. Visit www.camrosefcss.ca to donate in the name of your favourite contestant. Be sure to donate before July 26!

Lawnmower explosion causes burns By Dan Jensen
Camrose Fire Department and Emergency Services (EMS) were called to a fire a few kilometres northwest of Camrose on July 16 involving a person who was using a riding lawnmower. "We received a call at 8:30 p.m. of a lawnmower explosion out in the county with the possibility of one person injured," explained Camrose fire chief Peter Krich. "We arrived on scene to a ride-on lawnmower that was fully involved in fire and one person, Howard Bouck, who was the rider of the lawnmower, being treated." Bouck was airlifted by STARS helicopter to the University of Alberta Hospital for treatment of what were described by STARS spokesperson Cam Herke as "life threatening injuries." Krich said the fire was believed to be caused when vapours from the fuel tank were ignited by the lawnmower's hot engine. "The vapours were ignited when he was on the tractor and that is what caused the burns." Camrose Fire Department encourages anyone who is using lawnmowers or other types of yard equipment to shut them off and let them cool before refueling.

Daycare expresses traffic concerns By Dan Jensen
City of Camrose administration has been asked to present a report and recommendation to City council September 16 on what can be done to address traffic safety on 47 Avenue in front of Gardner College Kids Campus. "There are obviously concerns," said Mayor Marshall Chalmers at council's July 15 meeting. "Council is prepared to have administration come back with a report outlining the options we can look at to provide optimum safety." Gardner College Kids Campus has requested appropriate traffic-slowing signage in the past without success. "We were told that since our children are not playing on the road, signs are not needed," said Kids Campus program director Sandy Mize in a letter to City council June 24. "We are asking that you as a council would grant our request and some type of sign requiring cars to slow down a little would be installed at both ends of our center." Mize said that during the day care's busy arrival and departure times there may be cars lining both sides of the street. "Several children and their parents cross 47th. At these times others are going to or leaving from work and they use this street to travel. Many have the tendency to travel faster than the speed limit. It would be tragic if one of our little ones let go of mom's or dad's hand and ran ahead between parked cars just as another car was passing." Councillor Max Lindstrand said the solution may be something like a school zone type of regulation. "We don't want it (speed zone) 24 hours a day but there are those peak times when they (parents) are dropping off and picking up." Mize said there has been an accident on the day care corner. "Many times I have seen people ignore the yield sign. We are just really concerned because of our licence being for 101 children. We are not going to go that high right now but sometime in the future we may. The big issue we have is that number one, this is a pretty busy street. Rosehaven is there; it is kind of the way to the health unit up the street, and a lot of people go to the hospital that way rather than go down the highway." A Gardner Kids' College petition to the City asking for the signs was deemed invalid because it had fewer than the required number of signatures by Camrose electors, did not contain the dates of when it was signed by the petitioners, and did not contain the petitioners' printed first name, surname or initials. Councillor Ray McIsaac assured Mize that it is not the City of Camrose or City council that makes the decisions about the validity of petitions. "It's not something we as City council decided, it is a municipal government directive. There are rules and regulations this has to comply with. Certainly we are sympathetic to your concerns."

Sorenson sworn as Minister of State for Finance By Dan Jensen
Crowfoot Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson will have his work cut out as Canada's new minister of state for finance. "I am going to be working very closely with (finance) Minister Flaherty to make sure that we are prepared for the next budget," said Sorenson, who was sworn into the post in Ottawa July 15 as the successor to Ted Menzies, who was heavily involved with the Canada Pension Plan. "There will be a lot of stakeholder meetings, roundtable discussions and briefings to keep track of where we are with the economy and how we are doing across the country. "As time goes on Minister Flaherty and I will sit down and see what responsibilities he has for me." Sorenson got off to a fast start July 16 when he met with the finance ministers from across Canada. Sorenson believes that Minister Flaherty's pledge to eliminate the federal deficit by the year 2015 is perfectly achievable. "I have certainly been a strong advocate of that for the last number of years," he said. "Standing up in caucus that is one thing I have been very strongly advocating – that we come back to balanced budgets and the sooner the better. I think the prime minister is committed to that, as is Minister Flaherty."
RCMP issue advisory By Dan Jensen
The Camrose RCMP detachment has issued an advisory regarding a mail fraud that has been targeting county residents. "Any recipients of mail from RAHN Plastics Inc. are asked to carefully read and review the information contained within," said RCMP Camrose Cst. Lou Leroux in a July 16 news release. "Should the mail contain a cheque and an offer of employment for the position of customer service evaluator, please disregard, as this has proven to be fraudulent in nature. The company, which is based out of Ontario, currently has numerous complaints filed with local police agencies and efforts are being made to close in on the suspects." Cst. Leroux said with advancements in technology, mail and internet scams are becoming increasingly cunning as to the ways that they are targeting victims. "Should you receive any unsolicited offers that ask for money transfers or advances, please proceed with caution." Additional information on how you can protect yourself from scams or fraud may be obtained by visiting www.rcmp-grc.ca (scams and fraud), or contacting the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-800-622-6232.
The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada and His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada with the new Minister of State (Finance) Kevin Sorenson, MP (Crowfoot) at the Swearing-in Ceremony, July 15, 2013.
Sorenson said he was surprised and honoured when Prime Minister Harper asked him into a meeting to discuss his plans for finance and how he would like him to be a part of them. "We heard there were going
to be some changes but I really had no idea. When the prime minister called I thought it was to do with the work I did chairing the committee on foreign affairs, chairing the Afghanistan committee, or chairing the pub-
lic safety and national security committee. All those were difficult times with the transfer of prisoners in Afghanistan or the gun registry and public safety. He was always encouraging but I had never really publicly or any-
where else sought after a cabinet position. I just wanted to work hard in the responsibilities that I had been given." Sorenson said he considers it a privilege to be able to work with Minister Flaherty. "I don't know if there is another minister that has as much respect. I think across Canada and around the world Canada is viewed as probably being in the best economic state of any of the G7 countries, and a lot of it is because of the leadership of both the prime minister and the finance minister." Sorenson said only time will tell how the new appointment will affect the amount of time he is able to spend in the constituency. "In all honesty, my constituency work is still where I get my greatest pleasure. I like being around rural Albertans and Canadians. One of the advantages of being around your constituents, especially when you have one office, is that people see you at events and come up to you to either provide encouragement or voice frustrations on things. I realize that it is the people who have put me in this position so I am not, in any way, planning on compromising that. I know there will be more time required down here (Ottawa), but we have been able to manage time before and we will do it again."
Eshpeter to receive U of A alumni award By Murray Green
Ken Eshpeter grew up on a farm near Strome and has enjoyed the rural life for many years. But, as a sign of the times, he knew that education was very important no matter what career path he choose. He enrolled at the University of Alberta and graduated with a bachelor of science with a minor in agriculture in 1971. After eight years working with Alberta Agriculture Ken decided to move to the Daysland area to return to his first love, farming. He now produces several types of grains, beans and peas on 2,000 acres. Besides life on the farm, Ken is a vibrant voice in the community by volunteering with such projects as the Daysland Theatre concert series and the Battle River Railway. On Sept. 26 he will receive a U of A alumni honour award for his work in the community. "Actually, I sometimes bad mouth the university because I don't agree with some of the philosophical things they do. I wasn't expecting this honour," laughed Ken. "I was surprised. Jerry (Iwanus, who nominated him) said if they can't take some criticism then maybe it isn't set up the way it is supposed to be." Ken is very passionate about revitalizing the rural communities in East Central Alberta. "The viability both commercially and socially of the little towns has been declining for a long period of time. In a way, we have been our own worst enemies out here," explained Ken. "Farming has not always been a lucrative occupation and for years

farming business people felt the struggle. In many instances we haven't encouraged our children to stay on the farm. We didn't understand the implications of what we were saying, or doing with our actions. The children understood and got out of Dodge." Most of the small farming operations have gone along with the elevators. "In the 100 years we have been here, we have displaced the First Nations people, taken over and then all but disappeared again. One day someone with a remote controlled tractor will be out here and no one else. He will then go back to Edmonton to live. I can't get
my head around it," said Ken. "I'm hoping with the success of the theatre and the railway that we are slowing that down and attracting people to live in the rural communities." Ken hopes that the railway can help the little communities become vibrant again. "We have to get in the mind set that whatever we want, we have to do it ourselves. You can't wait for government help because it is not coming. We need that old community spirit back where we all work together for the common good of the communities we live in." Ken encourages people to come out to the rural areas and
see what they have to offer. "I'm not sure how many businesses or people we can attract to live in rural Alberta, but I do know this: what I see now, I don't like. We need our young people back." The rural residents need to change their mind set. "They need to believe that they have something to offer. They have to believe they are important and get over the inferior complex that you have to move to the big city to be somebody or accomplish what you want," Ken said. "That is the whole crux of the whole problem. I used to think that agriculture will fix this problem. But, when you have an industry that doesn't take a lot of people you realize that isn't the solution. It's still about people taking pride in where they came from and where they live. Everyone needs to find a way to keep their area viable. I don't think that philosophy has been thrown at people nearly enough. The leadership required to try and recreate viability has not come up and it's gone to other places. The railway is all about people reinvesting in their community. We need more people to take ownership of rural communities. If you need something done, all it takes is leadership." The bottom line is that small communities need young people to come back and live in order to have a healthier future. Ken has worked hard at promoting the rural life. The university honoured him for his devotion to rural Alberta and making it a better place. "I don't do any of this stuff to be recognized, but it is a nice recognition," Ken said.

Vacancy rate rises By Dan Jensen
Camrosians are finding it a little easier to find apartments to rent. A rental market report released by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation shows that the private apartment vacancy rate in Camrose this past April was 4.8 per cent, up from 4.5 per cent in April, 2012. Hard to find

While the vacancy rate for three-bedroom apartments rose to 4.2 per cent (up from zero per cent in April, 2012), the vacancy rate for two-bedroom apartments declined to 4.6 per cent (down from 5.2 per cent in April, 2012). The vacancy rate for one- bedroom apartments was 4.5 per cent, the same as it was in April, 2012. The total number of apartment units in Camrose in this past April was 980, down from 1,011 in April, 2012. Two-bedroom units numbered 671 and one-bedroom units numbered 311.

rose decided to sponsor a lunch following the Big Valley Jamboree parade to raise money for the Food Bank to help make up the deficit. This year, the other two churches decided to take a year off, but St. Andrew's felt the organization still needed support. Archdeacon Jacques Vaillancourt, Rector of St. Andrew's, recently contacted the Bishop, who volunteered herself and two others to come to Camrose to help serve as
needed. Mary Walker, from St. Andrew's, also stepped in. She commandeered her friends and neighbours to do all the desserts for the day. Under the overall coordinator Anita Curley, it is hoped that the lunch will surpass the $1,200 that was raised in each of the last two years. Lunch will start immediately after the parade and go until 2 p.m. The cost is $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.
The average rental rate for all apartments increased from $770 in April, 2012, to $781. Rates for three-bedroom apartments increased from $864 to $890, while rates for two-bedroom apartments increased from $820 to $832. The average rental rate for one-bedroom apartments was $662, the same as it was a year ago. "Rental rates in Alberta's census metropolitan areas continues to rise, having experienced additional upward pressure brought on by heightened demand and declining vacancy rates," said the report. "Across urban centres in Alberta, the average same-sample rent for a two-bedroom apartment increased 5.3 per cent." Province wide
The apartment vacancy rate in Alberta's urban centres was 1.5 per cent in April, 2013, down from 3.0 per cent the previous year. "Employment gains and heightened levels of net migration pushed vacancies lower in most of the province's urban centres between the two survey periods," said the report. The largest reduction in vacancies was reported in Wood Buffalo, which came down from 10.8 per cent in April, 2012, to 2.8 per cent in April, 2013. A strengthening labour market, coupled with on-going investment in oil sands projects drew migrants to the region and supported rental demand. The lowest vacancy rate among the five largest census agglomerations was in Grande Prairie, at 0.9 per cent, down from 1.1 per cent in April, 2012. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation conducts rental market surveys in April and October of each year to estimate the relative strengths of the rental market. The surveys target only privately initiated structures with at least three rental units, which have been on the market at least three months.

Gina Shiels, Owner Hearing Sense
We rely on our sense of hearing to communicate and if it is compromised in any way so is our quality of life. With over 17 years of experience as a Hearing Aid Practitioner, Gina Shiels, owner of Hearing Sense, sees firsthand the daily struggle that goes along with hearing loss. Gina says “Hearing loss is a natural part of getting older, and is more common than you think. Noise levels have increased everywhere. From hair dryers to leaf blowers, lawnmowers, snowmobiles, iPods®, surround sound speakers and more, we constantly expose our ears to damaging levels of noise. And that’s just at home. Our work environments are becoming increasingly loud as well. I see a lot of farmers, construction workers and people from the oil industry, whose hearing has been damaged by the equipment they use. In fact, more than 20% of all people with hearing challenges today are still in the workforce.” “Hearing Aid technology has vastly improved over the years, including the addition of Bluetooth compatible hearing aids. Modern designs are often hard to detect so most people don’t even know you are wearing hearing aids. There are more options than ever before,” says Gina. We pride ourselves on customer service. Every person is unique and we want to design a solution that works for each of them.” Suffering with hearing loss is a thing of the past. If you or a loved one is dealing with hearing loss, call for a consultation today. Duggan Mall, Camrose, 780.679.0900 112, 4814-51 St., Wetaskiwin, 780.352.9219
Tina Myles, Travel Agent Bridges Travel
Tina Myles is very experienced in the business world, but relatively new to the travel industry. Her enthusiasm for her ‘new’ career definitely comes through loud and clear. Enthusiastically she describes how she breezed through the courses she was required to take in order to earn her diploma in Travel and Tourism Consulting. Thirsty for more knowledge in order to assist to her clients, she immediately launched into travel programs concentrating on destinations which include: Disney properties, Jamaica, Hawaii and the expansive Uniworld program. The self-described travel junkie, cherishes the European trip she made on which she saw the Berlin Wall and lives for the next hot, sunny beach. She has always worked with the public and finds the role of guiding clients on their first or next trip very fulfilling. Notes Tina, “I’ve assisted a wide variety of travellers. I’ve put together destination weddings for large groups. I’ve put together safe and affordable travel packages for students. I have clients who use me to book their routine business travel. On the flipside I have booked a trip for a couple who had saved for many years to take their first elaborate vacation. This was very a huge responsibility but extremely rewarding for me.” No matter where your next trip destination might be, you’ll go far by choosing Tina Myles for your partner in travel.

Samantha Barclay, Lighting Specialist Hauser Home Hardware
Samantha Barclay hasn’t felt this much at home in years! Having grown up in the rural area of Killam/ Sedgewick, she never thoroughly enjoyed her years attending high school in Edmonton. Later, she gained immense career experience advising contractors and homeowners on lighting purchases at a well-known Edmonton firm. When the opportunity arose to use her skills in the same line of work in Camrose, she didn’t hesitate to move back “much closer to open fields and the rural way of life!” Samantha is currently involved in a significant re-merchandising of the Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre lighting department. New product, new displays, more selection. “LED technology has made fixtures of even five years ago obsolete. Today’s energyefficiency, long-lasting performance and incredible style are, frankly, breathtaking,” notes Samantha. “Mercury fluorescent tubes are becoming a thing of the past. Incandescent bulbs are on the way out. Pot lights which need large amounts of clearance are on the verge of being replaced by current technology. The field of fans and fixtures is changing as never before. Samantha, clearly well-versed on options and changes in the business, can help you make longterm choices whether you’re building, renovating or improving appearance or efficiency.

Dynamic duo offers super service
There have been lots of famous duos over the years: Batman and Robin, Abbott and Costello, Chris and Geri, Sonny and Cher; really, too many to list here. What’s that you say? Who’s Chris and Geri? Well, okay, so maybe they’re not famous around the world, but when it comes to providing excellent customer service at the Norsemen Inn, they’ve gained an outstanding reputation throughout central Alberta. They’re well known for being the go-to people if you’re planning a banquet, social function, business meeting or an informal come-and-go. Twelve years ago, they began working together, managing the operations of Camrose’s original full-service hotel. But they didn’t start out in management roles; they earned them, working their separate ways up through the ranks. They’ve washed dishes, served food and beverages in the restaurant, dining room, lounge and nightclub; they worked as Geri Ferner night managers, each of them learning the skills they would require to become managers. Now, as they talk about their roles at the hotel, there’s a natural, easy friendliness between them gained over the last 12 years, over the hundreds of banquets they’ve coordinated, the staffing schedules, the
training, the supervising, and, of course, the thousands of conversations they’ve had with customers, some of whom come into the hotel three times a day. They both agree that their favorite part of the job is working with the customers. It’s what drew them to the hospitality business in the first place. Geri started 24 years ago, fresh out of high school, working in the nightclub. Several years later, she was night manager and then manager. Chris followed a similar path. She began working part-time in the nightclub while attending Augustana and liked the work so much, she decided she had found a career in hospitality. Now they work in the same office at desks that face each other. Sometimes they finish each other’s sentences. Sometimes they laugh at exactly the same time. They share a similar sense of humor and a commitment to excellent customer service. They enjoy the diversity Chris Cameron each workday brings, the many different people they encounter and the situations which arise. If you’re ready to start planning an event or banquet and you would like it to run as smoothly as possible, give Chris or Geri a call today.

Who doesn’t remember the devastating main street fire, on Christmas Eve a couple of years back? That early morning blaze is forever etched in the mind of Tara, who lost her business, inventory and building of almost two decades – The Green Room was gone forever. What didn’t disappear into ashes, along with the other devastation, was Tara’s spirit, ambition or desire to continue in the profession she loved. Within days of the horrific fire, Tara’s mind was at work planning for a beautiful new salon. Square 1 Salon was created ½ block north and 1 ½ blocks east of her former location. It’s fun, it’s friendly and working alongside Tara is a host of talented staff who have a reputation for pleasing their growing clientele. Tara, always present, continues to be a master at colouring. She’s known for her knack of choosing the right shade for her client’s lifestyle, profession or the personality that person wants to project and portray. Full-service waxing, (yes, including the dreaded Brazilian) is a big part of the business. While ladies form a large part of the customer base, many men count on Tara and her team for waxing, particularity before sunny destination holidays! Piercing is also an everyday, on-site activity at Square 1. Tara sets the standard in the practice with 100% throw-away policy and by using only “sealed jewellery”. Every piercing done meets strict Health Board approval. Tara’s back. She invites you back, too!

Susan Presetsky, Manager
Shauna Chrabaszcz, Co-owner
Walking into Nutter’s one of the friendly faces you’re sure to see is Susan Presetsky, manager of the Camrose location for the past nine years. “We are continually changing,” says Susan. “For example, while there is still a perception that Nutter’s is strictly a bulk food company, it’s just not so. In the last seven years, I have seen a definite shift away from the traditional Nutter’s products, especially candy.” She is quick to point out that while Nutter’s still carries baking items, “and, of course, nuts,” they also carry an extensive selection of vitamins and supplements as well as a wide variety of organic and gluten-free foods. She notes, “We are continuing to bring in items that are more natural and healthier including personal care and household products. The evolution of our store is customer driven. Many of the new products you see on our shelves were brought in because of customer requests.” Susan believes Nutter’s has one of the best vitamin and supplement selections in the Camrose area. “Our vitamin manager, Yvonne, is a fountain of knowledge, and will always take the time to listen to any health care questions you may have.” “Customer service is our #1 priority,” states Susan. “We provide ongoing training for our staff because more knowledge for them means better service for our customers. Our advantage over the big box stores is that we know many of our customers by name and will always take the time to listen to their concerns.”
Equipped with knowledge obtained while earning a degree in Marketing from the University of British Columbia and coupled with an impressive variety of hands-on business experience, Shauna Chrabaszcz brings valuable skills as a partner at Creative Bedrooms. According to business partner and husband, Greg, “Shauna is one of a kind – a real diamond in the rough. She has unlimited energy and the knowledge to carry out any plan. Her vision for the store is identical to mine, so it’s been a real pleasure collaborating with her on strategy and image formulation for our store.” On the sales floor, Shauna’s positive, cheerful attitude is welcoming and very contagious. Clients shopping for unique bedroom furniture and superior quality product are naturally drawn to her personality. Excellent communication skills, coupled with a thirst for knowledge pertaining to suppliers and their respective product lines means exceptional customerfocused service when browsing the showroom. Shauna works directly with some of the many new North American craftsmen, distributors and suppliers the store is now representing. Her rare abilities have been instrumental in negotiating very favourable pricing on product new and unique to the east central Alberta. There are more reasons than ever before to visit the enticing Main Street Camrose retail centre! Shauna is a woman of vision and a respected member of the Camrose business community.

The face of poverty in Camrose By Dan Jensen
would be particularly true for youth because they are the ones who are going to be getting those low paying jobs. They might get into the pipe companies but sometimes that is insecure and you don't know how long those jobs are going to last. It is cheaper to live here than it is in the bigger centres but it is still not really low." Nickel notes that while everyone has a choice and is responsible for the decisions he or she makes, some choices are more difficult than others. "You can look at a young person who is living under a bridge and say he or she is there because of the choices he or she made, but what kind of choices did that person really have when the one that was determined to be the best was living in that kind of a situation. "It must not have been very much of a choice at all."
Like almost every other community in the world, Camrose has its share of poverty. "We have people living in poverty here as well," said Cody McCarroll, executive director of Habitat for Humanity. "You don't see as many of them panhandling on the streets as you do in larger cities like Vancouver or Toronto but they are there. Poverty in Camrose shows up in many different forms. The mother who shares her bedroom with two children because the apartment she has now is all she can afford. The man who is working two or even three jobs just to pay the bills. The teenager who crashes on his friend's couch.
82,000 – The number of children in low-income households in Alberta (2008)
Poverty in Alberta
An interviewee who wished not to be identified said it is incomprehensible that Camrose, should have any poverty at all. "I think it is because the Alberta Advantage applies just to the Highway 2 corridor – Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie.
The lineups for food at the Martha's Table. Census numbers
A StatsCan report based on the 2006 federal census showed that Camrose had between 450 and 500 families with incomes below the low income cut off. "Most of these families were trapped in poverty because they were working in jobs paying just $10 per hour," said McCarroll. "When you are making $1,600 a month at a minimum wage job and having to pay half of that for your housing it is hard to save and change your place in the world." As a rule of thumb, banks won't approve mortgages if servicing costs are more than 40 per cent of income. "The formula we use at Habitat for Humanity is roughly the same as the bank," said McCarroll. "Thirty per cent of your payments can go towards the principal, property taxes and homeowners' insurance." The average census income of Camrosians, according to the StatsCan report, was $79,444, compared to the provincial average of $98,240. "We may not have tons of poor families in Camrose but we have fewer wealthy families than the provincial average," said Camrose and District Support Services director Margaret Holliston. "Back in 2006, 22 per cent of Camrose families had incomes of $100,000 or higher, compared to the provincial average of 33.1 per cent." Habitat for Humanity Camrose realizes that the 24 homes it has built for families over the years is just scratching the surface in terms of meeting the total need. "The number I hold in my head is that at any given time there are 100 families we could put in a Habitat house," said McCarroll. "We service two per cent of the need every year with the homes that we build. The majority of applicants are hard-working single parent families, but two-parent families run a close

second. A lot of them are living in less than ideal conditions and that is putting it mildly." Food bank usage
One of the best indicators that families in Camrose do not have enough money for food and shelter is the usage of the Camrose and District Food Bank. In the first six months of this year (to the end of June), the food bank distributed 1,302 hampers filled with vegetables, fruits, pasta, cereals, eggs and
60,000 – The number of Albertans who received emergency food assistance from a food bank in Alberta (2010) meat, as well as paper cleaning products. "The rules are that people can use the food bank once a month or ten times a year," said Camrose NeighborAid interim coordinator Elaine Hook. "We try to put enough food in a hamper to make meals for a week." The food bank gives first priority to low income families with children who are not on any form of social assistance, followed by laid-off workers whose employment insurance benefits have run out. "The people who come to us are able to make ends meet most of the time but occasionally run into unexpected expenses, such as repairs to their vehicle, which means they don't have a lot of money for food," said Hook. "A lot of them don't come every month." Some of the users are seniors who are living on fixed
incomes whose sons or daughters have moved home in the search for work. "It is difficult if you are living on a pension and you have kids move in with you," said Hook. NeighborAid's Martha's Table feeds soup and sandwich meals to 26 people every Tuesday and Wednesday during the summer months. The number of meals increases to three per week during the rest of the year. Poverty affects youth
The question that is often addressed at the Camrose Open Door Association is whether poverty leads to homelessness or whether homelessness is exacerbating the poverty or creating it. "It is a pretty complex thing but the reality is, and I think this is something we say again and again, if someone can't get his or her own place for whatever reason – if they don't have the finances necessary to be in their own place or don't have the skills they need – it is almost impossible to stay in school and keep a job," said Camrose Open Door Association executive director Randal Nickel. Of the 45 youth and young adults who received shelter from the Camrose Open Door in 2012, 45 went from having zero income to working and gaining employment income. "They were able to take that positive next step toward a healthier life," said Nickel. "They have gone from having no income to paying taxes and being able to spend some of their own money, something that has a positive effect on everyone." A statistic that Nickel related at Open Door's most recent annual meeting was that the
chances of a typical 25-year-old male reaching the age of 75 goes from about 64 per cent to 27 per cent if that male has been in a homeless shelter. "That is a shocking statistic and shows the incredible physical and mental toll that poverty and homelessness can have on people," said Nickel. "I think we have always assumed that someone who becomes homeless or is deeply in poverty may be ill to start with or have mental health or physical issues that lead to that. But I think we have also seen or are starting to learn how much physical or mental health issues can arise from homelessness and poverty. You have to ask how a person can stay healthy if he or she doesn't have adequate shelter,
43 – The percentage of the children of the 60,000 who received emergency food assistance from a food bank (2010) because even in Canada, where health care is covered, there are still a lot of things that aren't." Nickel remembers when students from Gardner College did their five days of homelessness. "They stayed out for five nights and it was incredible to see how their mental sharpness, their ability to make decisions and their ability to think clearly was impacted after one or two days." Nickel agreed with McCarroll that there is a disconnect between what a lot of people in Camrose earn and what it costs to live. "I think in our case that
$12 or less – hourly earnings for 234,200 Albertans (2011) "The Alberta Advantage means oil and this is not an oil town. We have become a centre for services to all these rural communities and because of that we have a lot of lower paying jobs." Holliston said while there are some communities in east central Alberta that get residual benefit from the oil and gas industry, it is not equally dispersed throughout the province. "We have a high income disparity gap between the very wealthy and the lower income workers. There are some people that are doing really well but there are a lot of people who aren't doing so well at all. They don't have direct access to the wealth in our economy and when our economy booms and housing and other costs go up, they have to pay those costs." Poverty Costs 2.0: Investing in Albertans, a report published by Vibrant Communities Calgary and Action to End Poverty in Alberta notes that Alberta has the highest level of income inequality, and that the province's poor are further behind than any other province in the country. "Poverty in Alberta is real," states the report. "There are more Albertans living in or near poverty than our society should tolerate, more than our economy can afford, and far more than existing programs and services can cope with. Its persistence at a time when the majority of Albertans enjoy the highest standard of living in Canada is unacceptable. Continued on page 13

BMO ASSISTS WITH ANIMAL CARE
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose BMO branch assistant manager Tricia Cameron donated $236 to Battle River Animal Protection Society members Monica Rusnak and Laura Houseman to help with the costs of animal care. BMO raised the funds from the Jaywalkers' Jamboree barbecue and piggy bank sales. BRAPS is currently looking for homes for 11 kittens between six and eight weeks old. Visit braps@hotmail.ca for more information.
Face of poverty Continued from page 12
The report also states that even through economic good times, poverty in Alberta has stubbornly remained around 12 per cent, positioning us towards the middle of the pack in Canada and only slightly below the Canadian average of 12.5 per cent. According to its numbers, 25,990 two parent families, representing 6.8 per cent of the population with children under the age of 18, live in poverty, and that the poverty rate among female-headed lone-parent families is considerably worse, at 33.4 per cent. "Women living in poverty are especially vulnerable. They face additional barriers as part of further marginalized groups. Women also struggle with greater financial challenges. Women in Alberta earn only 68 per cent for every dollar men earn and women make up 70 per cent of all part-time workers and 66 per cent of all minimum wage workers." The report tries to dispel two myths about the poor: first that the poor do not want to work because they are lazy, and second, that the poor are mostly on welfare. "In fact, the majority of people who receive social assistance are permanently outside the workforce. They are the severely mentally and physically disabled and mothers who are lone heads of households caring for infants (and these latter only receive benefits for short periods of time). These myths about poverty neglect the very considerable group whose poverty is not associated with an absence of earnings, but with insufficiency of earnings. The majority of poor in Alberta are working full-time, full-year." The estimated cost of poverty in Alberta, including extra demands on public services and budgets, is estimated to be between $7.1 and $9.5 billion a year. In 2009, this meant that Alberta lost approximately four per cent of its GDP. Premier Redford has committed to eliminating child poverty within five years, and reducing overall poverty within ten years, something that will require a comprehensive, coherent and integrated set of policies that focuses on sustenance (basic needs), adaptation (social and human capital development),
engagement (removing barriers to participation in work and social life), and opportunity (creation of good jobs, labour market integration and asset building). "I don't know if any of that has been backburnered a little bit," said Holliston, "because we really have to deal with all of this flood stuff," said Holliston." Holliston said one of the things that needs to be touched on during discussions on poverty is a flat tax versus progressive tax. "Whenever we have conversations about the provincial budgets it is always about how we are going to spend. But we haven't had that discussion about how we are going to generate revenue, not just from the oil and gas industry but also from potentially looking at our flat tax versus the progressive tax." A new fact sheet released by the University of Alberta’s Parkland Institute says that the “flat tax,” introduced by Ralph Klein in 2001, is costing the province in excess of $5 billion a year and that given the projected deficit of $4.3 billion this year, simply returning to the progressive tax structure that existed in 1999 would be more than enough to move the province from a deficit budget to a surplus budget. The fact sheet, entitled Giving Away the Golden Egg, also highlights the amount of room the province has to reform its current tax system – Alberta could collect an extra $10 billion to $18 billion per year in taxes and still be competitive with other Canadian provinces.

Action to end poverty
Action to End Poverty Alberta believes that ending poverty is a moral issue, not just an economic one, and that if the province of Alberta commits to a bold plan, a dramatic reduction in poverty within a few short years is perfectly achievable. "The moral imperative is helpful in addressing poverty but it is obviously not enough, or else we would have, as a community and as a country, gotten a handle on the problem a long time ago," said Action to End Poverty in Alberta coordinator Joe Ceci following a presentation to Camrose City council a few years ago. "We are hoping to push people to an understanding that we need to do something more comprehensively."

Boomtown Trail app receiving good reviews By Dan Jensen The Boomtown Trail touring app has been receiving good reviews. "We've had a very good response, especially from those in the 30- to 40-year-old range," said Boomtown Trail CEO Ken Duncan. "The most common word being used to describe it is 'cool'." Available for download from the iTunes store for iPhones and iPads, the app uses GPS technology, along with audio and video files, to provide information to travellers about points of interest within the Boom Town Trail area. "Once you activate it there is a little blue flashing dot that appears on a map to show you where you are," explained Duncan. "As you get to certain points or communities the app gives off a steam train whistle that lets you know of the availability of a file that tells you a bit about the history of that place, as well as the different things there are to see and do. "It provides a lot more information than a normal sign at the side of the road and is more interesting." At last count the app featured 36 Boom Town Trail communities and two provincial parks. The app's audio files can be changed periodically to make note of special events like anniversary celebrations. "We've spent a couple of years trying to refine it to where we want it to be," said Duncan. The app's large size means that it takes a long time to download. "We've spent a long time trying to trim the size of the app and we have had success there, but on the other hand we have been incorporating more video, so that is bumping it right back up again," said Duncan. "We've been building a library of videos that we can incorporate into the app at a later time when the technology allows." One of the videos features John Beaver being interviewed about the metal sculptures he has placed around Mirror Lake. Another video provides information about the city's old power station. "We have a young student playing the role of the first power plant operator," said Duncan.
The app proves that more and more people are wanting to access their information in a digital matter, rather than using paper. "The digital age is freeing up people," said Duncan. They are now able to get the information the way they want it. They are saying deliver the information my way or I am not going to get it. The app puts the users in charge of the experience, letting them decide how long their stops are and which stops they want to make." The only drawback to some is that the information on the iPhone or iPad screen cannot always be clearly seen in bright sunlight. BoomTown Trail started working on the development of the app approximately three years ago as a way of replacing costly highway signs. At the time, the only other similar application was at Yellowstone National Park. "We worked with the same developers who did the app for Yellowstone," said Duncan. "They were really challenged because our (Boomtown) area is a lot bigger than the Yellowstone area and we wanted to incorporate video. It was a very challenging process a lot of the time but very rewarding as well." The success of the app can be summed up in one comment from a lady who sent Duncan an email about a year ago. "She wrote to thank me for the app, saying that without it she would have gone right past two communities," said Duncan. Boomtown Trail refers to the tourism region in Alberta, east of Queen Elizabeth II Highway. The region encompasses Highways 21, 56 and 9 and spans from the town of New Sarepta in the north to the town of Bassano in the south. Boomtown Trail communities sprang to life almost overnight around a century ago, spurred on by the expansion of the railways. The rapid development led to a distinctive style of architecture, characterized by a grandly designed front covering and a more humble building behind it. Known as “boomtown” architecture, it was typical of many buildings in the North American west at the turn of the 20th century. The Boomtown Trail is divided into six touring routes designed to be explored within a day.

Former Kodiaks forward signs one-year deal with Maple Leafs By Murray Green
Former Camrose Kodiaks forward and 2008 National Hockey League first round draft pick, Joe Colborne has signed a oneyear contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The deal is reported to be a one-way contract for the 23-year-old Colborne, who saw action in games six and seven of the Leafs' first round playoff series against the Boston Bruins. "The Kodiaks are happy for Joe as he has worked very hard to get to this point in his career," said Boris Rybalka, coach and
general manager of the Camrose Kodiaks. Colborne was traded from the Bruins to Toronto in February 2011. He has played in 16 career NHL games with the Leafs and collected a goal and five assists. Colborne also played 65 games with the Maple Leafs' American Hockey League affiliate Toronto Marlies scoring 14 goals and adding 28 assists for 42 points. The Calgary-born player scored 77 goals and added 105 assists in 161 regular season, playoff, Doyle Cup and RBC Cup
games over two seasons with the Kodiaks. He was named the 2007-08 Canadian Junior Hockey League player of the year. Holden signs
Defenceman Nick Holden, who played with the Columbus Blue Jackets and within the organization the last few years, has signed with the Colorado Avalanche for $1.2 million over two years. Holden is also a former Kodiaks' player and last year he played two games for Columbus and was plus one. With Springfield, Holden scored nine goals and collected 39 points.

Council directs administration to look at improving safety on 43 Avenue By Dan Jensen
City council has directed City administration to provide a report on how to improve the safety of young people crossing 43 Avenue west of Kin Park. "We are asking them to bring back some solutions, whether it be signage for traffic or changing the entrances to the park area," said Mayor Marshall Chalmers. "Our policy currently doesn't call for signage such as playground zones but maybe this is a unique situation where we want to do something different outside of policy. "Council wants all the options to make sure that everybody is safe." The issue was raised by Camrose resident Sara Zylka, who is concerned that a vehicle travelling 43 Avenue at high speed might strike someone who is in a hurry to leave the park from one of four exits. "Kids are flying out of the area on their bikes and that is where the bend (in the road) is," said Zylka. Councillor Daryl Shillington said he is in favour of some sort of traffic calming device, whether it be a sign or speed limit. "There are a high number of
recreational opportunities in the area and a lot of traffic. "Safety here has to be of paramount concern." Assistant municipal engineer Jeremy Enarson told council in a July 15 report that under the current City policy, 43 Avenue falls well below the cut off for a playground zone scenario where speed limits are lowered. "How the City of Camrose signs the public roadways near playgrounds, green spaces and schools is defined by the City's updated policy for installation of Pedestrian Safety Devices, which was developed after reviewing best practices from elsewhere in the province and across Canada," said Enarson. "The City's policy does differentiate between different types of playgrounds and green spaces within the city. The resources used to develop the policy have identified that sports fields and green spaces historically have a lower risk of pedestrians running out onto an adjacent roadway than what areas with children's play equipment typically see. Additionally, when the active playing areas within parks or green spaces are set back relatively far from the roadway, the policy recognizes that
the risks to pedestrians are lower than if these play areas were set closer to the roadway. Similarly, when the play areas are separate from roadways by a solid fence with designated openings such as what exists on the west side of Kin Park, the risk to pedestrians is also lower than if there is no fencing to separate the road from the playing area." Enarson said Camrose Police Service has monitored the speed on 43 Avenue on two separate days since July, 2012, and found no instances of drivers exceeding the posted speed limit of 50 km/h. "Since that time three separate motor vehicle collisions were reported for this section of 43 Avenue, all of which happened between October and December, 2012. The reports of each of these collisions indicate icy road conditions as a contributing factor for the collisions." Camrose Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen has indicated the City is currently looking into the installation of gates or chicanes at the Rudy Swanson Park fence openings to force users of the park's internal trails to slow down when leaving the park.
Kucy golfers advance to next round By Murray Green
Devin and Jayla Kucy, brother and sister, are one step closer to earning a trip to Augusta, Georgia. The Camrose golfing duo competed in the Drive, Chip, and Putt Contest in the Pacific Northwest Region at The Creek at Qualchan Spokane, Washington, on July 11. The contest is a youth golf initiative that was put together by the Masters committee in Augusta, Georgia. "Our three children, Mason (12), Devin (10) and Jayla (7) had the opportunity to compete in the local qualifying competi-
tion and all three played really well," said proud father Joe. Jayla finished second with 58 points. Devin won his class and was second overall out of all the age groups with 109 points. "Mason finished eighth with 66 points, but had two monster drives roll barely out of the scoring grid that would have put him into second place," explained Joe. What this means is that Jayla and Devin qualify for the Regional Competition (National Semi Finals) in Lacey, WA. If they win their categories in Lacey they will play at the Augusta
National Golf Club during Masters' Week. The top two scorers in each division advanced to the regional qualifier on Aug. 11, at The Golf Club at Hawks Prairie in Lacey. From the regional competition, the top qualifier in each age and gender division will advance to the national championship on April 6, 2014. Spencer Tibbits, competing in the 14 and 15 age bracket, posted the highest overall score of 124 for the boys’ division. Ellie Slama, competing in the girls' 14-15 age bracket, posted the highest score of 103 for the girls’ division.
Ernest “Ernie” Norman Brandt of Camrose passed away on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at the age of 66 years. Ernest Norman Brandt was born in Camrose, AB on November 18, 1946 to Dugald and Evelyn Brandt – their second son and a little brother to Bill. Ernie had a huge passion for hockey at a very young age. Wintertime was spent on outdoor rinks – organized or shinny – it didn’t matter, it was hockey! The game wasn’t restricted to the rink though – there was also the street, and endless hours were spent running, passing and shooting with the neighborhood boys. Christmas was eagerly anticipated as he knew there was always new equipment for him in those packages. The routine never altered from year to year – after presents, the boys donned their new duds and hit the ice. His love of sports also included fastball, and he was a member of the Windsor Hotel fastball team – a talented and competitive group of friends who achieved provincial recognition. Tournaments were frequent, and the team balanced fierce play on the diamond and camaraderie off the diamond, often bringing home top prize money. He entered the electrical trade a year out of high school. He worked for local Kjelland Electric, Harberg Electric and Reyn-Felt Electric during his apprenticeship, then a couple of out-of-town companies after attaining his journeyman ticket. His love of industrial wiring drew him to Edmonton, and he gained employment at the Strathcona Refinery with Titan Electric who had the construction maintenance contract. For over 20 years he commuted; the drive was never an issue for him as he loved his job so much. His plan was to return to work on a part-time basis, retiring only when it was his decision. Ernie married Sandra Hall on August 14, 1971. On their second anniversary, first son Corey was born. Jayden arrived in 1976, and third son Jerrit joined the family in 1979. Life for the Brandts revolved around hockey and fastball, with Ernie coaching both summer and winter. His goal was simple – introduce his sons to the sports he enjoyed (hoping to see some talent!), and instilling in them a sense of fair play and ethics. As the boys grew up and moved out on their own, Ernie and Sandra had the time to holiday together. Camping was the leisure of choice – it didn’t have to be distant, but a golf course nearby was a must. Ernie would go on walks with Sandra; not for the exercise, but it was better than staying at camp alone! They travelled to Las Vegas a few times, and their enjoyment there was the wonderful shows and touring museums and hotels, but home always looked good to him. He became a member of the Camrose Goodtimers Hockey Club at the ripe age of 34, and savored time spent with the wonderful players and wives, establishing ties that last to this day. This club was indeed family oriented, and Ernie and Sandra and the boys have so many fond memories of those years. Ernie is survived by his loving wife Sandra of almost 42 years; son Corey, his wife Cathy and their daughter Cailin; son Jayden, his wife Shannon and their children Reagan and Brianna; son Jerrit, his fiancée Sara and their daughter Avery; his brother Bill and his wife Cathy; mother-in-law Jessie Hall; as well as numerous extended family members. He was predeceased by his parents Dugald and Evelyn Brandt, and father-in-law Irvin Hall. Ernie left us quietly and with dignity – just as he lived. As the boys and I go on, we will seek his guidance and direction as we always did. A Funeral Service was held at 1:00 p.m., Monday, July 22, 2013 from Camrose United Church (4829-50 Street) with Mary Ann Pastuck officiating. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to KidSport Alberta, Camrose Chapter (kidsportcamrose@ cable-lynx.net).

Raymond Dennison Mitts Ray was born March 21, 1935 in Toronto, ON to Dennison and Lillian Mitts. He went to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, July 5, 2013 at the age of 78. Ray grew up in Toronto with his brother and three sisters. He was the middle child, and thus the center of attention and the apple of his mother’s Irish eyes. Ray was baptized as a baby. Ray spent his days pursuing many interests and professions which led him to Hay River, NWT. It was there that he met his bride, Elnora Olsen. She was visiting a friend up north, and word got out in a small community that a beauty queen was in his midst. Being the innovative man that he was, he sought out a reason to visit the Nurses’ Residence and the rest is a 47-year history. Ray and Elnora were married on March 18, 1966 in Trochu, AB, and resided in Hay River, NWT until 1974. During this period, they welcomed three children into their home: a son, Steven and two daughters, Rhonda and Sharelle. While they were “Up North”, Ray experienced many unique endeavors. To name a few: he ice fished for long periods of time on Great Slave Lake in -50 °C weather with his brother Ron; he competed in the Arctic Winter Games in Sharp Shooting and brought home a silver medal; and he sang for the Queen in 1970 with the Hay River Centennial Choir. Ray and Elnora departed the North in 1974 and eventually settled in Terrace, BC. It was there that Ray had the opportunity to teach his children the love of the outdoors. Camping, skiing, fishing, hiking, bike riding, and a drive in the country were typical weekend activities. Of all of these activities, Ray was the happiest with a fly rod in his hand, a trout on the line, and his family surrounding him with a picnic lunch! In 1981, the Mitts family packed up their belongings and made the long trek to Camrose, AB. Elnora’s family was located in this region, so family gatherings were abundant. During the growing up years for the family, Ray beamed with pride with every success, medal, graduation ceremony and personal achievement for each of his three children. He was pleased about the choices each of his children made: the pursuit of knowledge and education, whom each chose to marry and spend their life with, and most of all, to live their lives faithfully for the Lord. As Ray supported each of his children in their endeavors, he observed their commitment to Christ, and watched each child be baptized as a young adult. He made the decision to be baptized for the second time to illustrate his commitment and devotion to Christ as an adult. Ray was extremely involved in church activities, gave liberally of his time and expertise to family and neighbours, and was well respected in the community. Rather than focus and expand on all the career choices – Fisherman, Hunter, Mechanic, Businessman, Salesman, Carpenter – that Ray has endured and excelled at over the years, one should look at his character. Ray was not defined by the job itself, but rather by a job well done. Ray was the perfect example of dedication and completion of each and every task at hand with diligence and pride. He was a man who put his family first – before himself. Ray didn’t put much stock in success as defined by fame and fortune, but rather strove to do his best in all that he did with honesty and integrity. When Ray retired, he enjoyed plenty of camping trips with Elnora, helped his children with their own building or renovation projects and spent time making memories with his grandchildren. Despite loss of independence and most of his physical abilities due to Parkinson’s Disease, Ray still maintained his position as the godly leader of his family that he dearly loved. He taught his family to think before one speaks, and that choice words can make a world of difference. He taught his family to serve others – without the need for recognition. He taught his family to be creative – and use the independent abilities that God had given each one. He taught his family to finish what they start, and that a strong character is built on the final product. Most importantly, he taught his family that the only thing that really matters in life is a right relationship with God. He will be remembered and cherished by his wife Elnora Mitts of Camrose, AB; his son Steve (Cheryl) Mitts of Camrose, AB; his daughters Rhonda (Leo) Zimmerman of Camrose, AB, and Sharelle (Gregory) Wiebe of Stony Plain, AB; brother Ron (Grace) Mitts of Hay River, NWT; sisters Marlene Chapman of Stouffville, ON and Elizabeth Price of White Rock, BC; five grandchildren Raelene and Kaitlin Mitts, Hope and Josie Zimmerman, and Connor Wiebe; and a host of relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Dennison and Lillian Mitts; his sister June Beaucage; his two brothers-in-law Sam Beaucage and Wes Chapman; and grandson Brendan Wiebe. A funeral service was held on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. from Century Meadows Baptist Church with Pastor Ed Lehman officiating. Interment has taken place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. Memorial donations are gratefully accepted to the Stollery Children’s Hospital. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com.

A little over three months ago (March 29) the Alberta Aviation Museum Association received its long-awaited Starfighter from the Netherlands in two large containers. After seven years of searching and then 18 months of working through the process of importing the aircraft, the Starfighter finally arrived at its new home, as two huge containers of parts. Since then the task of cataloguing, stripping and sorting these parts has taken place and the assembly process has started. As this release is being written the Starfighter is undergoing a high-tech polishing process that will bring the dull, bare metal finish back to the shining aluminum for which Starfighters flown in Canada were known. Beginning this week, other components such as the wings, horizontal tail, nose and external fuel tanks will start arriving to be installed and finished in special two part paints restoring them to the original colours of Starfighter #104651 which was based at CFB Cold Lake in 1980. Thanks to donations from the family of Don Hamilton, AirSpray Aviation Services Ltd. and many private donors from Edmonton and across Canada, the Alberta Aviation Museum was able to acquire this complete and relatively undamaged aircraft – the first that our museum purchased rather than recovered or had donated. The museum is working hard to reward the donors with what may be our fastest restoration ever and hope to see the Starfighter roll out ceremony take place in early August (date to be announced shortly). The aircraft will be completed to historically represent the Starfighters that were flown by Canadians from 1961 to 1984 in Canada, Europe and most important for the Museum 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta. Starfighter history runs deep in Edmonton. North West Industries (NWI) overhauled the Canadian Starfighters at Edmonton’s City Centre Airport in the late '70s and early '80s. NWI was one of Canada’s high tech aerospace powerhouses through the '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s and into the 1980s, employing thousands of Edmontonians and putting Edmonton at the top of the Aerospace field. When the resurrection is complete this former Dutch Starfighter will return as the “Ghost of Canadian Armed Forces Starfighter 104651” which was lost (with no fatalities) during a training mission at CFB Cold Lake in 1980. The Alberta Aviation Museum is proud to be returning another piece of Edmonton, Alberta and Canadian history to the public.

RODEO DONATION TO OPEN DOOR
The Camrose Spring Classic Pro Rodeo committee donated $2,310 to the Camrose Open Door Association last week to provide housing and support to young adults in Camrose and area. Accepting the cheque from Camrose Spring Classic Pro Rodeo committee chair Ken Hildebrandt was Camrose Open Door executive director Randal Nickel. Seventy-five per cent of the youth Camrose Open Door served in the year completed this past March were from Camrose and area.
PEN .I am a more empathic person POINTS by Berdie Fowler
Challenge: Prevent Poverty I have just read a Dan Jensen report about poverty in Camrose. It is based on information provided from Cody McCarroll, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Camrose; Margaret Holliston, director of Camrose and District Support Services; Elaine Hook, interim coordinator of Camrose NeighborAid; Randal Nickel, executive director of Camrose Open Door; and Statistics Canada. It is appalling to learn that an estimated one hundred families in our city live on incomes below what is called the poverty level of income in Canada. It is shocking to learn that Alberta, a wealthy Canadian province, has the highest rate of income disparity, and that one-third of female-headed lone parent families live in conditions of poverty. Because poverty is a self-perpetuating cycle, we must aim to stomp it out. Children who grow up in disadvantaged circumstances do not have equal opportunities which enable them to break out of the cycle. They are often undernourished which causes illness, absenteeism at school, poorer grades which diminishes hope and may lead to inadequate schooling and, as adults, unemployment, underemployment, and very limited choice of employment of any kind. Statistics tell us that many homeless or poorly housed persons are physically or mentally disabled, conditions that may have caused the poverty but, on the other hand, might have also been the outcome of childhood poverty. As a community, Camrose is making a conscientious effort to alleviate the poverty we have through the agencies mentioned above. These services also have a component that has the potential to break the poverty cycle; that is good, however, more preventive action is required. Despite unemployment in Alberta and across Canada, employers report that there is a shortage of persons with the skills to fill the job opportunities. The Government of Canada has recently announced a Canada Job Grant program with the objective of developing a labour force with the skills to match the job openings. That is a preventive step that should help. Family break-up is also a major cause of poverty. Even high income earners suddenly face poverty when parents split – instead of two incomes to support one household, the same total income has to support two households, often leaving both parties in financial predicaments and children bewildered, confused and innocent victims. What can we do to stabilize family relationships? In this age of knowledge explosion and intellectual sophistication, we must search for ways to live which do not hurt others, like living by the Golden Rule: love one another; treat others as you would have them treat you! Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Disorder (FASD) is also a cause of poverty. FASD is caused by expectant mothers who imbibe in alcohol consumption while pregnant. This may cause irreparable and incurable brain damage to the fetus; it is often a sentence to life-long dependency which usually means poverty with little or no hope of breaking the cycle. FASD is completely preventable so it is imperative that each of us, as a private citizen and/or as part of a society, spread the word that together, we can help wipe it out and, in that way, help reduce poverty. May we care for the poor among us and make poverty awareness and prevention a top priority!
Letters are welcomed but please limit them to 500 words or less and sign with first name, initial, surname, address and phone number; only name of writer and city or town will be printed. Letters to third parties are not accepted. The Camrose Booster may edit for length, clarity, legality, personal abuse, good taste, public interest and availability of space. The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Thanks To the honest, kind, thoughtful person, Thank you! I left my wallet in the bathroom at Super Store. Someone returned it to customer service. How very thankful I am to you! May God bless you and give you peace. Julia Siemens Camrose Wake up call Ron Pilger's recent opinion piece in the Booster should be a wake-up call for the citizens of Camrose. I wholly agree with him and I hope that his thoughts and ideas will be incorporated into future thinking and plan-
ning for our city. Unfortunately, many in civic government seem unaware of where the money they spend so freely comes from. This fall let's elect people who focus on ways to save our precious tax dollars rather than trying to find new ways to spend it. Reg Ernst Camrose Bang on assessment Congratulations on your opinion article in the recent Camrose Booster. You are bang on in your assessment although perhaps a little understated. As a relatively recent resident of this city (four years) I have been amazed at the lack “understanding” at both the Council and Administrative levels of our City of the financial implications of their actions. I ask as the other amazing thing is how the local newspapers appear to purposely not provide researched articles on what transpires at City Hall. Again, good on you. It was long overdue for an article such as this. The City cannot afford another Mayor and Council such as the last one. Dave Kotyk Camrose
Beefs and Bouquets First the bouquets. Great big ones to the Rotary Club of Camrose, Ron Grue, Russell Hawkins and all the contractors, suppliers and individuals who donated their time, materials, expertise and money towards the task of building the Rotary Youth Centre. It is something that was badly needed in this community and we owe a huge thank you to those who worked to make it happen. My beefs are directed towards distracted drivers, in particular the fellow talking on his cellphone while driving his truck on 48 Street last Monday, who veered into our lane to avoid a parked City vehicle. You never did see us, did you? You missed plowing into us by a hair and only because of a fast defensive reaction by my husband. We see and hear of these types of incidents too often. I feel we need stepped up enforcement of the distracted driving law, as well as increased penalties for offenders. Pat Syrnyk, Camrose
Setting the record straight By Max Lindstrand City councillor, Camrose
The legendary baseball pitcher Satchell Paige once said, "It isn't what you don't know that will hurt you but what you know that just ain't so!" Some would also attribute this quote to Mark Twain. In recent weeks there have been many allegations made that would suggest that the council of the City of Camrose has made decisions that have placed the City in a precarious financial situation. During the past several months, I have had many opportunities to discuss, with citizens of Camrose, accurate information regarding the City's financial situation. Invariably, I have been encouraged by them to present accurate information to all of the residents of the city. Therefore, I offer for your consideration the following information: 1. Did you know that when I first became a councillor in October, 2007, that the City had a debt of about $31 million? Do you know that the current debt is about $22 million? The City has also paid $3.4 million of debt which was attributable to the golf course. That means that during the six years that I have served on council we have reduced our debt by $12.4 million. We continue to pay off our debt at the rate of about $2 million a year. 2. We currently have two major capital projects underway – The Camrose Performing Arts Centre (CPAC) and the new City Hall. These are major projects that will provide
much needed facilities within our city. Through savings and careful planning on the part of City council, CPAC will add between $4 and $8 million to our debt. If the fundraising is completely successful in reaching its goal, then the increase will be $4 million. The new City Hall will not increase our debenture debt unless the provincial government reduces its commitment to providing Municipal Sustainability grants to the municipalities. Virtually every
Opinion city in Alberta is planning to incorporate the grants into the funding of their future infrastructure projects. We have been informed that the operational costs of the new City Hall will be substantially less than the operating costs of the old City Hall. This should alleviate some of the concerns about how we can afford to operate these new facilities. Council has also been forward thinking in building a new City Hall that will be sufficiently large to accommodate expansion as the city grows over the next several decades. 3. The City of Camrose currently holds capital reserves that total over $21 million. We also have operational reserves which total $5 million. While many of these reserves are designated
for specific purposes, they do represent a substantial cash asset for our city and will assist in the funding of future projects. 4. Since I have served on council we have been aware that the taxation levels are relatively high. This is due, in part, to a lower than average industrial tax base. So, council has been reluctant to increase tax rates. In fact, the City of St. Albert recently conducted a study of the cumulative tax increases over the past five years in 11 Alberta cities. Camrose came out with the lowest five year increase at 15.55 per cent. Other cities listed included St. Albert (16.17 per cent), Airdrie (17.95 per cent), Leduc (18.3 per cent), Spruce Grove (19.51 per cent), Lethbridge (20.16 per cent), Grande Prairie (22.3 per cent), Strathcona County (22.66 per cent), Red Deer (23.11 per cent), Edmonton (28.15 per cent) and Calgary (38.59 per cent). Maintaining competitive tax rates continues to be a council priority. So the next time that you hear someone suggest that the City of Camrose is on the verge of financial ruin, please quote Satchell Paige and Mark Twain and tell them that "What they know just ain't so!" Finally, as this term of council comes to a close, I want to thank my fellow councillors and our mayor for their dedicated service to our community. I also want to thank our City administration and staff for their diligence in managing the day-to-day financial operations of our city in an effective manner.

Chev Trax Great performance in a small package
By Dan Jensen
The new Chevrolet Trax at McClellan Wheaton Buick GMC in Camrose is creating quite the stir. Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and car-like handling that urban explorers around the world require. "Trax is an important addition to the Chevrolet portfolio in Canada," said Marc Comeau, vice president of sales, service and marketing for Chevrolet in Canada. "We believe Trax will be a popular choice with Canadians looking for the convenience and utility offered by a small SUV, which will be ideal to drive in urban centres and cities across Canada." Standard EcoTec engine With a standard 1.4 litre turbocharged ECOTEC engine, Trax gets you around and about the streets with full authority. Its output is a spirited 138 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque. So what is the advantage of turbocharging? It directs substantially more air into each cylinder, enabling it to optimize each combustion cycle, while an intercooler cools the charged air entering the engine, allowing for more complete combustion and greater power output. Yet unlike many
other turbocharged engines, the ECOTEC runs on regular fuel. Turbocharging not only increases output, it also makes Trax remarkably fuel efficient, with 7.8 litres per 100 km city and 5.7 litres per 100 km highway ratings. Maximum grip Trax's confident handling is the product of a wide stance and a series of driver control technologies that include standard StabiliTrak four-wheel ABS with Panic Brake Assist and Hill Hold Assist. An available on-demand All-Wheel Drive system automatically adapts to changing road con-
ditions, improving traction by sending power to the wheels with the most grip. The system reverts to front-wheel drive mode, improving fuel efficiency, when the added traction isn't required. That helps Trax earn its place as one of the most fuel efficient AWD vehicles on the road. Plenty of storage Trax has conveniently located storage areas within easy reach of the driver, including one in the middle of the instrument panel. When it comes time to move serious cargo, you'll find it easy to reconfigure the interior, thanks to the 60/40 flipand-fold rear seat and fold-flat front passenger seat. With the rear seat folded down, Trax opens up a generous 1,371 litres of maximum cargo space. Keeping you entertained If you think of music as an essential part of driving, you'll find Trax has all your favourite tracks. All LT and LTZ models feature a standard CD player, MP3 playback and Bluetooth audio streaming. Choose the available Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 interactive sound system and you can access your music and apps – such as Stitcher SmartRadio – directly from your smartphone. A 178 mm colour touch radio screen acts as the hub, although you can also use steering-wheel-
mounted controls to make selections. For the ultimate Trax listening experience, choose the available Premium Bose six-speaker sound system that includes an amplifier. The city landscape has its own share of hazards. So you should take comfort in the knowledge that Trax includes 10 standard airbags – the most in its class 4. Count 'em: dual stage front airbags, knee airbags, and side-impact seatmounted airbags for the driver and front passenger, plus sideimpact seat-mounted outboard rear seat airbags and head curtain side airbags for outboard seating positions. Add the peace of mind that accompanies the standard OnStar system that includes six months of the Directions & Connections Plan with Turn-by-Turn Navigation and RemoteLink. Also included is Automatic Crash Response that can automatically contact an OnStar advisor when a collision occurs to help direct emergency service providers to your exact location. Impressive warranty Driving worry-free is key to fully enjoying the pleasures of owning a new Chevrolet. Whether it’s zipping across town or taking on a monumental road trip, you can set off knowing that every new
Graeme Davidson McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC Chevrolet is covered by a new vehicle limited warranty, GM Roadside Assistance and courtesy transportation. And for even greater peace of mind and coverage, Chevrolet also offers several available Protection Plans designed to suit your own driving needs. Trax adds to an already impressive Chevrolet portfolio in Canada, including the award-winning Cruze and recently launched, cityfriendly Sonic compact car and versatile Orlando small crossover. See the 2013 Chevrolet Trax at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 385048 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Concern about Battle River By Samara Froland, Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society coordinator
The concern about our local source of water was evident at the weekly CWSS event last Thursday. Sarah Skinner, from Battle River Watershed Alliance, presented at the Stoney Creek Centre on the state of the Battle River. “Our watershed starts at Battle Lake ‌ and it flows all the way across the Saskatchewan border to North Battleford,â€? said Skinner. “As you can see, the volume of water that is licensed for use is a lot more than is in the Battle River in any given year,â€? said Skinner. She explained that the river does not go dry, because some of the water can be reused. “ATCO has a large water use license, but they return most of it,â€? she finished. “There are a lot of areas in our watershed that are unique,â€? said Skinner. She explained how the Sounding Creek and Battle River Watersheds are the only Albertan watersheds that are not moun-

tain-fed. Instead, these areas are prairie-fed. “Nutrient levels in our water are very high,� said Skinner, explaining that the soils in the Battle River Watershed are naturally nutrient-rich. However, the high nutrient levels in the water can be attributed to agricultural production, lawn fertilizing and cattle. She showed how high nutrients in the water can cause an algal bloom to develop, which decreases the oxygen
level in the water, leading to wildlife death. Sarah discussed the findings of recent studies on the Battle River. An Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) was completed in 2008 which showed that there has been a substantial decrease in fish populations. Sarah made some suggestions as to how people can decrease their water use and contamination. Using low flow devices in our homes; watering

livestock with off-site watering systems; and limiting fertilizer use can have a significant positive impact. “Once you are hands-on in an environment like this you have a higher degree of appreciation for that place,� said Skinner. The BRWA employee talked about the importance of getting people involved in the environment. “People will not protect what they do not love. People will not love what they do not know.�
The CWSS summer program continues Thursday, July 25 at 7 p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre with the event called “Berry Delicious�. The program’s summer coordinator will discuss the benefits and uses of wild berries while leading a tour through the Stoney Creek valley. There will be tastetesting of wild berry goods and everyone will be able to take berries and recipes home with them.

Founders Days will pay tribute to Chester Ronning By Dan Jensen
The late Chester Ronning (1894-1984) will be honoured at next month's Camrose Founders Days celebration. "We thought that Chester Ronning would be an excellent individual for the honour of founder," said Camrose Founders Days committee member Janine Carroll. The idea of honouring Ronning was put forward to the committee by Sons of Norway members Ingrid Urberg and Lyle and Hazel Erga. "We had to deliberate for a while because honouring him was going to put us out of date because we normally look back 100 years," said Carroll. The Camrose Founders Days committee believes it has reached a bit of a crossroads in terms of deciding who should be recognized. "Many of our committee members (and community members we have talked to) agree that 1913 is getting into the settler years rather than the founding years in Camrose development," said Carroll. Ronning was the first nonChinese baby in the County of Hsiangyang, China. At the age of four he and his parents – American Lutheran Missionaries Rev. Halvor and Hannah Ronning – were forced to leave the country because of the anti-foreign Boxer Rebellion and moved to the Norwegian community of Valhalla, Alberta.
Chester Ronning
Ronning attended Camrose Normal School, where he received his teaching certificate. When World War I broke out he joined the RCAF and flew fighter planes known as "Death Crates." In 1920 he took his wife, Inga, and daughter, Sylvia, to China, where he became headmaster of the Hung Wen Middle School in Fancheng. In 1927, all foreigners were ordered to leave China because of the turmoil, and the Ronnings escaped by sailing down the Han River in a junk to Hankow. It was while he was there that he received a request to become head of Camrose Lutheran Col-
lege, a position he held for 15 years. He demanded excellence from his staff, quietly explaining that every letter, every response to a telephone call, every encounter within or without the office, portrayed an image of the institution they represented. He also welcomed with empathy the students, many of whom were from rural areas and had never before lived away from home. He said he and faculty members understood that it would take a few days to become adjusted to the new environment, but that he had every confidence they could do it well and quickly. As choir director he conducted an award-winning group of voices year after year. He had an excellent singing voice and, to the delight of students, he would occasionally render a solo in general assembly. In 1932, Ronning was elected to the Alberta legislature, representing the United Farmers of Alberta. "Ronning was drawn into provincial UFA politics by the growth in Alberta of the social democratic movement that melded certain parts of the UFA membership with a provincial movement for social and economic reform founded and led by William Irvine, a national movement led by Henry Shearer Woodsworth, a utopian socialist," said Dr. Brian Evans, who had the opportunity to get to know Ronning when he (Evans) was teaching at the University of Alberta. "These groups, along
with the latter organizations, met in the summer of 1932, to form the Canadian Commonwealth Federation, which much later morphed into the current New Democratic Party." After being defeated in the 1935 election that wiped out the UFA, Ronning was elected vice president of the Provincial Association of Canadian Commonwealth Federation clubs. In a speech he delivered on Good Friday in 1939, Ronning told his audience that it was time for the CCF to get serious about doing something, not for political advantage, but to solve the problems facing the world. He went on to say that the spirit of Christianity and of Christian organizations was being threatened by a system depriving the common people of a just reward for their efforts, and that the principles of the day's system rest on an un-Christian foundation and one that is inadequate. Ronning was nominated to be the CCF candidate for the Camrose area on June 23, 1939, He lost the 1940 provincial election but came within 74 votes of the winner. Ronning was unanimously chosen as the president of the provincial CCF late in January, 1942, and presided over the reorganization of the provincial party. "In a broadcast in April he indicated that it was necessary to vote yes on the coming plebiscite on conscription, something that Camrose and all of Alberta did," said Dr. Evans. "In June,
1942, when RCAF recruiters passed through Camrose, Ronning offered his name and shortly thereafter happily handed over his CCF duties to Elmer Roper." Ronning joined the RCAF as squadron leader in charge of the discrimination unit of RCAF intelligence. Following V-J Day he was asked to join External Affairs and go to China as a diplomat. While there he was joined by his wife and children, who were evacuated when Communist troops occupied Nanking. Ronning left China in 1951 to serve as the head of the American and Far East division of the Department of External Affairs. Subsequent posts included Ambassador to Norway and Iceland, High Commissioner to India, Nepal and Ceylon, Acting head of the delegation to the Geneva Conference of Korea (1954) and Laos (1960 to 1962) and special representative to Hanoi and Saigon in 1966. In his eighties Ronning spoke of how we in western democracies continue to elect the wrong people to serve in government and that so much of what is essential to our daily living is in the hands of people over whom we have no control and who are not elected. Ronning and his wife spent their last days in their house in Camrose, and filled it with treasures from their journeys. All of his children returned to China with him to celebrate his 90th birthday in the town in which he was born.
U of A approves funding for arts centre energy efficiencies will be at the top level in terms of efficiency. "We all know that some of the main expenses with a performing arts centre have to do with utilities and general upkeep, so this will help us big time down the road."
By Dan Jensen
Camrose performing arts centre construction is proceeding according to schedule. Performing arts centre project manager Michael Madsen told Camrose city council last week he expects to have the centre substantially completed by the end of January, 2014, and ready for a soft start in the spring. "We are currently on budget and have been chipping away at the contingency fund," said Madsen.
Theatre manager
Funding approved
The University of Alberta has approved funding through its Envision intelligent energy reduction program for the performing arts centre's high efficiency chillers, LED stage and front of house lighting, and solar photo voltaic panels. "These initiatives have allowed us to go from Green Globes Level 3, which was our base contract requirement for Clarke Builders/Barr Ryder to Level 4" said Madsen. "That is actually the top level in the Green Globes, and is roughly equivalent to the gold level in the LEED system." Green Globes Level IV demonstrates movement beyond awareness and commitment to sound energy and environmental design practices by demonstrating good progress in reducing environmental impacts. Level 4 is usually reserved for facilities that are national or international in scope. Unique in North America
The Camrose Performing Arts Centre will be one of the first in North America with full LED lighting on the stage.
Performing arts centre construction is on schedule and on budget.
"Besides the obvious reduction in power consumption, this also reduces the heat load and some of the infrastructure required for cooling and electrical," said Madsen. The program will not be funding the LED light around the top of the outside of the flytower. "We have designed it and are constructing the light box all the way around, and are providing power and control cabling, so that any point in time this can be added as a feature of the building," said Madsen.
"It is an unfunded item at this point in time." The University of Alberta Envision program was established in 1975 but rebranded in 2012 to reflect energy and vision. Typical implementation measures have included lighting retrofits, heat recovery, HVAC and upgrades to the mechanical system. "The program to date has reduced two million metric tonnes of greenhouse gases," said Madsen. Anticipated savings to the University of Alberta in the
final year of the first $25 million program were $3.5 million. Anticipated yearly savings in the next generation $35 million program, which includes the performing arts centre, are $3.8 million. The solar panels on the performing arts centre will create 130 kilowatts. "This is a major facility for the university's and the city's energy reduction program," said Madsen. City councillor Daryl Shillington said he is very pleased that the performing arts centre
Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger reported that ...... has been secured as the performing arts centre theatre manager. "The mayor and I have given .... a letter of intent that includes all the key elements of her eventual contract," said Dr. Berger. "We have promised a contract as soon as we receive official notification that a not-for-profit organization has been registered with the province. That paperwork has been signed off on by both the City and University and it has been submitted. We anticipate receiving notification back probably by the end of next week." The official start date for ..... will be September 9. "She is coming from Ontario and plans to locate right here in Camrose," said Dr. Berger. Fund-raising
The performing arts centre fund-raising campaign has raised between $1.5 and $2 million. "We have just launched the seat campaign, which is expected to raise another $750,000," said Dr. Berger. "We obviously have to reach $4.25 million to declare success. I do believe that will require a naming gift. If we manage to secure that naming gift of $1 million or more we will reach our total of $4.25 million without difficulty."

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough
Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations
Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest
Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.
State Your Price
The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible
Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.
Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

Report on the Legislature Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River - Wainwright Government acts to support homeowners' rebuilding choices
As homeowners impacted by flooding start to rebuild, new government policies will support the decisions Albertans make in rebuilding their homes, including the decision to relocate out of floodways. The government is announcing the following policy decisions and will begin implementing them: Buildings in Flood Risk Areas: For homes located within a floodway, there will be funding available through the Disaster Recovery Program for homeowners to rebuild or relocate to a new location outside flood risk areas. There will also be funding available through the same program for specific mitigation infrastructure that will protect buildings within a flood fringe area (such as berms, water control infrastructure, raising a house, etc.) Any land made available by Albertans moving out of flood risk areas will be made available for municipal flood mitigation infrastructure or for recreational use such as picnic areas, parks, cycling and hiking paths. Extra money for flood mitigation: For heavily damaged homes requiring major repairs or complete reconstruction, homeowners in flood fringe areas will be eligible for additional funding through the Disaster Recovery Program, on top of the disaster recovery assistance for eligible expenses. This additional money must be spent on approved flood mitigation measures. Mitigation measures will be approved if they are sufficient to protect against a onein-100 flood event (a one per cent chance of a flood happening in any given year). Future coverage: Homeowners in a flood fringe who do not implement mitigation measures to protect against a 1-in-100 flood event will not be eligible for Disaster Recovery Program assistance in the event of future flooding. Residents who undertake approved flood mitigation measures will be eligible to receive Disaster Recovery Program assistance for any future flood that exceeds the 1-in100 year flood event criteria. Homes and businesses currently in flood ways, and those who utilize provincial Disaster Recovery funds will have a notation on their land title to ensure that future owners of the property are also informed. Future development in floodways: Legislative changes will be made this fall that will require municipalities to no longer approve future development in floodways. Municipalities will be consulted in the coming weeks on these changes, and will account for unique circumstances some municipalities face. Continued on page 37
The CAMROSE BOOSTER July 23, 2013
Report on the Legislature
YOU WANT TO BE PROUD OF YOUR WORK. WE PROVIDE A REASON.
Continued from page 36
These new policy directions align with federal flood assistance programs and bring Alberta in line with provinces such as Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec which have various policies and limits on development in flood hazard areas. The changes will help the long-term viability and sustainability of communities as well as protect Albertans from the cost of future flood damages. For more information, and to see available flood mapping, Albertans are encouraged to visit Alberta.ca or call 310-4455 toll free. Significant progress made to increase access to justice
Significant progress continues to be made in making Alberta’s Criminal justice system more efficient and accessible. On April 12 the Crown Prosecution Service released “Injecting a Sense of Urgency”, an independent report detailing actions that would be taken to ensure serious and violent cases are not lost due to delays in reaching trial. The report reviewed the circumstances of a case involving a sexual assault charge in Airdrie that was judicially stayed after it was found there had been an unreasonable delay to reach trial. The report identified immediate and long-term steps to help make sure all cases involving serious violent crimes reach trial. In response, a promised 90-day update report has been produced. A key action in the report was to increase the use of direct indictments, which allows for preliminary hearings to be bypassed and for trials to be set immediately in Queen’s Bench. Direct indictments can shave weeks, if not months, off of the length of time it takes to reach trial. In 2010, there were 10 direct indictments filed in Alberta. As of June 30, 2013, there have already been 35 filed. The increased use of direct indictments is having a significant impact on the Provincial Court. In the first six months of 2013 in Edmonton alone, 10 weeks of Provincial Court time was freed up because of preliminary inquiries that had been avoided. Minister Denis continues to advocate for the elimination of preliminary inquiries in general at the federal level. Another important action committed to in the report was the expansion of Court Case Management (CCM). Case management offices allow for matters to be dealt with outside of the courtroom, allowing more than 7,000 cases per month to be diverted from courtrooms. Expansion of CCM is underway in Cochrane and Didsbury. As the MLA for Battle River - Wainwright, I am always available to assist constituents. If you have any questions or concerns regarding government support for flooded communities, increased access to justice, or any other matter, I can be reached in my constituency office at 780842-5613.

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 780672-4428.

Horticultural Society celebrates 100th anniversary The Camrose Horticultural Society celebrated its 100th anniversary by hosting a Rose City Rose and Lily Show and Tea at the Masonic Hall. Visitors to the show were able to linger over the entries, then stop for a cup of tea, a few pastries, and anniversary cake. The show featured numerous classes for roses and lilies, as well as artwork, crafts and photography. The first annual flower show in Camrose was held in 1919. These shows, along with the development of the gardens at the Railway depot in Camrose raised the profile of horticulture in the area. Bottom left: Nan Shute and Diane Howes enjoy one of the many lily entries. Right: Renate Burns found a lily in a vase much to her liking.
Parliamentary Report Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot
Minister of State (Finance)
At the outset of this news column, I want us all to think about the people of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, following the tragic train derailment and explosion. Our hearts and prayers go out to them following this shocking event. Like many people in our province affected by flooding, they will be recovering and rebuilding for a long time. As your Member of Parliament for Crowfoot, I have accepted the appointment by The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, to our Conservative Government’s Cabinet. I want everyone to know that I accepted this appointment on behalf of all of us in our Crowfoot Riding. We have worked hard for many years and we speak with a strong political voice. I renew my pledge to continue to work diligently on behalf of all my constituents, and now, I pledge to do the best I can in service to our nation as a Cabinet Minister. Our Conservative Government will continue to focus on creating jobs, growth and long-term prosperity in all regions of the country. We are delivering on our commitments. We have provided strong, stable government in a time of continuing economic uncertainty, kept taxes low, cut government spending, and put our finances on a sustainable path. We are committed to balancing the federal budget by 2015. I am humbled by the great amount of trust and confidence that our Prime Minister has expressed for my work with this appointment. I am looking forward to fulfilling my new duties and working in my new leadership role with my colleagues in our Conservative National Caucus. As the Minister of State for Finance, I will be working closely with the Minister of Finance, The Hon. Jim Flaherty. Since the ceremony at Rideau Hall on Monday, I have been working in my new office at the Department of Finance about four blocks south of Parliament Hill. I am being briefed by many departmental officials on many files. In fact, I ‘hit the ground running’ by meeting the Finance Ministers from all provinces and territories in a teleconference my first day on the job. I will be the Minister of Finance’s voice in the House of Commons whenever the Minister of Finance himself is not in the House. I will be responding to the Opposition Parties during Question Period to finance-related questions. There are government bills to be ‘steered’ through the hearing process in the Chamber. Occasionally, I will be dispatched to appear in place of Canada’s Minister of Finance. My House of Commons office and my Crowfoot Constituency office will operate as usual. I will continue to work from these offices as my ‘base’. Many constituents will remember that in my earlier years as our elected federal representative, I was in the Opposition ‘front benches’ as Critic for portfolios including: Solicitor General; Justice; Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. I am looking forward to this ‘higher profile’ position where I will be ‘stating our case’ and ‘setting the record straight’ when it comes to our Conservative Government’s actions to create jobs, grow our economy and prepare for Canada’s long term prosperity.
Camrose Police Report July 19
An 18-year-old woman was stopped after police observed her vehicle failed to stop for a stop sign. An odor of marihuana led to a seizure of the drug. The woman was charged for Possession of Marihuana and Failing To Stop For A Stop Sign. A theft was reported after a man discovered property missing from a storage compound. A snowblower and a tidy tank were amongst the items taken. The investigation is continuing. A 49-year-old man was issued a 24-hour licence suspension after his vehicle was stopped subject to a driving complaint. A 38-year-old man was issued a three-day Immediate Roadside Sanction after his vehicle was stopped and he displayed signs of intoxication. A third driver was stopped and arrested for Impaired Driving. He provided samples of his breath analyzed at 100 mg per cent and has been charged for Impaired Driving and Driving While Over .08. July 18 Shortly after 8:00 a.m. police and EMS crews responded to a collision between a vehicle and a cyclist at the intersection of 50 Avenue and 57 Street. The investigation determined that the vehicle was travelling southbound on 57 Street and was in the process of turning onto 50 Avenue, when the 26-year-old cyclist entered the intersection from the sidewalk in front of the vehicle. The cyclist was transported to hospital where he was treated for minor injuries. The matter is still under investigation. A 53-year-old Camrose woman has been charged with Theft and Possession of Stolen Property after an investiga-
tion ascertained that she was responsible for stealing money from the west end department store a which she was employed. The female has been released to appear in Provincial Court on these matters. A 23-year-old male has been arrested and charged with Driving while Unauthorized as well as breaching the conditions of his recognizance after police observed him driving on 65th Street Wednesday afternoon. It was also determined that the male had outstanding warrants for his arrest for failing to appear on some other unrelated matters. The male was subsequently remanded until his next court appearance. Shortly before 3:00 a.m., police stopped a 22-year-old male motorist in the area of Enevold Drive and Parkview Drive. Police had reasonable suspicion that the male had been consuming alcohol and brought him before the roadside screening device where he failed to provide an adequate sample of his breath after numerous attempts. The male was consequently charged with Failing to Provide a Breath Sample and Transporting Liquor within easy access of an Occupant and released to appear in Camrose Provincial Court. July 17 A 50-year-old woman has been charged with one count of Assault after police were called to a south-side Camrose residence on Tuesday morning. The investigation determined that during the course of a verbal argument between the woman and her ex-husband, the female struck the male and spat on him. The female has been released with conditions and is slated to appear in Camrose
Provincial Court on these matters. Shortly before 1:00 p.m., police responded to the intersection of 58 Street and 48 Avenue to investigate a motor vehicle collision between a Dodge Dakota truck and a Dodge Caravan. The investigation revealed that the Caravan had rear-ended the truck near the intersection. Neither of the occupants of the vehicles received any injuries from the collision, however, the driver of the Caravan was issued a violation ticket for Following too Close. The Camrose Kal Tire business reported that sometime in the past week, a quantity of Bandag RTP tractor tires were stolen from its compound. At 9:10 p.m. police responded to a motor vehicle collision between a 14-year-old cyclist and a motor vehicle at the intersection of 48 Avenue and 51 Street. It was determined that the cyclist had entered the roadway from the sidewalk when unsafe to do so and was subsequently struck by a pickup truck that was travelling eastbound through the intersection. Speed and alcohol are not believed to be factors in this collision, and the cyclist was taken to hospital where he was treated for some minor injuries and released. July 16 A resident reported that sometime overnight, his 18-speed red Raleigh bicycle was stolen from his yard in the area of 56 Street and 51 Avenue. A male reported that in the past week, his white F-150 truck had been entered while parked in the area of 52 Street and 49 Avenue and his Canon digital camera was stolen from inside the vehicle.

• Simple is often best. Rather than trying out a trendy style or something that is bold, keep makeup choices simple. Your look will always seem timeless. • Balance colors on your face. If you will be going for dark eyes, keep lips bare or with a soft gloss. Bold, red lips pair well with simple eyes decked in a neutral color. • Brighten or widen eyes. Using a shimmery white powder in the corners of each eye will open up your eyes and make you appear more refreshed. • Use primers. Primers are products that help make makeup last as long as possible. Several hours will pass between the moment you apply makeup and the last good-bye of the night. Ensure your makeup stays put by applying a base primer. An eye primer helps keep eye makeup from caking or wearing off.

• Go waterproof. Use waterproof or water-resistant mascara and stay-put lipstick. This way your makeup will remain flawless. • Match your foundation carefully. Many women make the mistake of choosing a foundation color that doesn’t quite blend with their skin. This can create a visible line of demarcation at the jawline or hairline. Visit your favorite beauty counter and ask a cosmetic salesperson for help to find the right match. Blend the foundation down the neck so that your face will not be a different color from your body. • Try a tinted moisturizer. Those who have a naturally flawless complexion and want a dewy look to their skin can choose a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation.

• Go for powdered products. Powder blusher and mineral powder foundation may last longer on skin, especially when sweating. After makeup application, also dust the face with a translucent finishing powder to set everything. • Use liquid liner for dramatic eyes. Liquid eyeliner will last longer and provide a smoother application than pencil products. • Smokey eyes need not be black or gray. Create the smoky effect with the shadow and liner colors that complement your eye color. • Extend the beauty to nails and toes. Sparkle polishes and nail art appliques are ideal ways to dress up nails. Glitter will catch the light and will camouflage imperfections.
