hoping and praying for his recovery
Critically injured one month ago when the riding lawnmover he was operating burst into flames, Howard will have a long road to recovery. On Saturday, August 10, approximately 150 individuals gathered at the Bouck family farm out of love and respect to tackle some projects which Howard had started, envisioned or would someday accomplish. Old corrals were replaced with new posts and rails, then painted with two coats. A bulk fuel tank was readied for operation by qualified personnel. Extensive landscaping took place by enthusiastic volunteers. A lengthy shelterbelt of trees was groomed. The loft of an old barn was wired and transformed into a sports arena for the Bouck grandchildren. A tired old garage quickly disappeared. The sense of community spirit, ranging from journeyman tradespeople, neighbouring farmers, casual acquaintances to church family and relatives was overwhelming. Food prepared by the lunch food crew and a late afternoon barbecue was spectacular. The day was inspirational – the effort beyond even the most optimistic expectations. Everyone in attendance eagerly awaits the day when Howard returns to the farm he loves.

This year staff will continue to strive to achieve our vision: Every Student, Every Day, A Success by providing a holistic educational experience focused on the academic, character, and relationship development of each student. As a school division, we will emphasize the following priorities for the coming year: • Literacy • Assessment • 21st Century Learning and Teaching • Creating Welcoming and Caring school environments This year promises to be an exciting and challenging time.

LEARNING INSTITUTE Schools, Division Office, and most worksites in Battle River School Division #31 will be closed on August 29 and 30, 2013 to permit all staff to participate in a Learning Institute.
NEW REGISTRATIONS
Due to longer instructional days, most “Feeder Schools” have additional ‘feeder days’ on which students will not be in attendance. Allan Johnstone, Cornerstone Christian, Holden and Ryley Schools are operating with a four-day week. Principals at “Feeder Schools” and at the four-day week schools will likely distribute a slightly modified school year calendar for their students.

City council gave its approval to an updated Camrose Performing Arts Centre budget of $19,338,320 Aug. 6. The budget includes sustainability initiatives of $1,063,320 that are being funded by the University of Alberta, as well as the cost and funding of proposed add-ons totalling $275,000. City manager Damian Herle told council that with the recent announcement from the University of Alberta regarding the upfront funding of the new sustainability initiatives, there is a need to formally adjust the total project budget. "When the initial budget was set, the sustainability initiatives had not yet been designed or approved, and thus the associated expenditures and corresponding revenues were not included in the approved budget for the project." Council had approved the expenditure of an additional $275,000 for inclusion of proposed add-ons to the CPAC on August 27, 2012.
"Though this extra expenditure and funding sources were approved, the overall budget was not formally adjusted at this time to reflect the changes," said Herle. Both the changes are fully-funded through grants/contributions, so there is no impact on the local tax levy or debenture borrowing. Fundraising
Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers said the fundraising for the Camrose Performing Arts Centre is going quite well and that the centre is becoming a model for other building projects on the University of Alberta's north campus. Camrose Community Services manager Paul Nielsen told council that $ 800,000 in raised funds is ready to be transferred to the City of Camrose and that the amount of funds that have been committed is $400,000. He added the performing arts centre seat sale is expected to raise $ 630,000.
County to borrow funds for Duhamel water system By Murray Green
Camrose County will be borrowing $70,000 to fund a new Duhamel Water Distribution System. Councillors agreed to arrange for financing, so the residents can enjoy a new system. However, an improvement tax will help the county recover the costs of the project. A local improvement plan was prepared and the required notice of the project given those owners who will benefit, in accordance with no sufficient objection to the Duhamel Water Distribution System. The local improvement project has been filed with the municipality’s chief administrative officer. County council decided to issue a by-law to authorize the financing, undertaking and completion of the water system. Councillor Vern Peterson asked for second and third readings and the by-law was passed 4-2. Although the county is planning to pay back the loan in five years, the county will be giving the Duhamel residents 20 years to pay for the local improvement project. Each of the 14 benefiting households will pay $5,000 to cover the $70,000 total cost. Administration recommended that the funds be paid up front through a debenture, rather than
drawing on reserves. Property owners can pay off the levy over a 20-year period, or by lump sum payments. The payments will be applied against the principal to lower the carrying costs of the debenture. Because the borrowing period is less than five years, the borrowing by-law does not have to be advertised. As per the by-law, in order to complete the project, it will be necessary for Camrose County to borrow the sum of $70,000, for a period not to exceed five years, from the Alberta Capital Finance Authority, or another authorized financial institution, by the issuance of debentures and according to the terms and conditions referred to in the bylaw. A local improvement plan has been prepared and the required notice of the project given to the benefiting owners, with no sufficient objection to the local improvement project. Councillors Glen Nelson and Doug Lyseng asked for second and third reading on the improvement tax and they were passed 4-2. Council decided to set a uniform tax rate based on per parcel of land assessed against the owners who benefit. The ratepayers are now subject to a levy of $5,000 each, over a 20-year period, with an annual minimum payment of $250 set.

LEFTHANDERS' GOLF DONATION
The Camrose Lefthanders' Golf Tournament committee donated $300 from the proceeds of the 25th annual tournament on June 21, at the Camrose Golf Course, to the University Hospital Foundation. Lefthanders' tournament secretary Eric Hohn presented the proceeds to fund development coordinator Julie Boucher.
PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler
Long may we live and learn! Because of my age, I am one of few local residents who knew almost all of the persons who have been honoured as founders of Camrose when they were still alive – persons such as the first teacher, Signi Spokkeli, who lived next door to us; Frank Layton, who lived across the street; Francois Adam, who, in horse and buggy days, had the foresight to plan a main street for Camrose that would be 100 feet wide, and whose 94th birthday party I attended. But, of all former honourees selected, it was Dr. Chester Ronning, this year’s honouree, that I knew best and who had a good influence on my life. I took a post-secondary business course at Camrose Lutheran College (now Augustana) in 1938-39 when Chester Ronning was principal. I was an extremely shy girl even though I had already completed high school (not at CLC). I clearly remember my fears as I climbed the steps of Old Main to register for a business course offered there. Because it was such a small college with small staff, Mr. Ronning was also the registrar that day. Although he was already a well-known public figure, I had never seen the man before. When he stood to greet me, I noted that he was very tall and looked like a man in command – I believe youth today would use the word ‘awesome’. Despite my shyness, his warm smile, cordial handshake and kindly manner dissipated my uneasiness within a moment. His voice was mellow and easygoing as he completed the procedure and, when I left, I descended the steps of Old Main with brand new self-confidence and optimism for the future. When I graduated, with typing, stenographic and bookkeeping skills and some knowledge of commercial law, I was offered employment in the CLC office which meant working directly with principal Ronning part of the time. By example, he inspired one to pursue excellence, to think beyond one’s self, and to care about others. He had a profound influence for good on my life. In conclusion, I thank all those involved in bringing us the annual Founders Days celebration. Knowledge of history, and especially the men and women who played a role in the development of the great community in which we live today, is helpful to those whose actions now will determine our future. In his sunset years, Chester Ronning, the educator and world respected diplomat, said, “Live until you are old; learn until you are old, and still there is so much left to learn.” Long may we live and learn!

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Stage 13 "Stage 13" is a phrase being used over and over by concert goers regarding this year's Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose. What is "Stage 13"? It was a weekend rock concert in Camrose that got closed down many years ago in big part due to the following: public drinking, public drug dealing and use, public defecating, public urination, public nudity, and public fornication. Add in mob mentality and vandalism on the CRE grounds and in the Camrose community and you have it. Which is what we had at BVJ in 2013 (it was also present in 2012). And quite frankly, a big part
of those who attend over the age of 30 have had it, too! I realize that BVJ organizers are not responsible for the behaviour of the 18to 25-year-olds on site. My mind is still boggled at the "I want what I want, and I want it right now – and as long as I want makes me happy, that should make you happy too" attitude of this age group. It doesn't matter if what they want physically hurts someone else or interferes with the ability of the rest to enjoy themselves, it's their party and you better not get in the way. However, BVJ organizers need to get a handle on this situation before major sponsors start questioning the event. Do we need a major catastrophe before security gets beefed up? If someone had a medical problem, there is no way you could get an ambulance into the concert bowl area – not with 4,000 to 5,000 young people clogging up any of the laneways. As it was, my 78-year-old mother was knocked around and pushed Friday night by the 200 or so young people who crowded into the aisle in front of us. And this is before we decided to escape before Alan Jackson (that was a
nightmare, pushing our way through the crush with her and her walker). Come on BVJ organizers, it can't be that difficult to lay out rules and enforce them. It is in everyone's best interest! Lori Blades, Camrose Discrimination I am writing to let everyone know that the Big Valley Jamboree discriminates against the disabled. I can't explain it otherwise. I use a walker, and sometimes I need a wheelchair. This means that I have to have a vehicle on site. For the privilege of parking in the VIP parking lot with a disability parking pass I pay $20 a day. And other day parking is $15. Make sense to you? It doesn't to me, either. I already have to put up with our Alberta government sticking it to the seniors and disabled (you remember, Alison Redford campaigned on protecting Alberta's most vulnerable, and has since taken all sorts of "benefits" and programs away from us). Now, apparently, I get to be gouged in the private sector as well. Shame on you BVJ, shame on you! Katie Blades, Camrose
Agnes Hoveland seeking a seat on Camrose City council By Dan Jensen
Agnes Hoveland will be seeking election to Camrose City council on October 21. "I enjoy service," said Hoveland in an interview at her home. "Serving on council would be a way for me to be able to listen, learn and help in any way I can within my community." A retired registered nurse with extensive and varied experience in clinical practice, program development, implementation, evaluation and teaching, Hoveland has lived in Camrose for all her adult life. She is currently the chair of the University of Alberta board university relations committee and serving as representative to the U of A Senate), a member of the Covenant Health St. Mary's community board and foundation board, and a member of Camrose and Area Grateful Grannies, a group of the Grandmothers Campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation. She received the Vogel award in 2004 for exemplary service to the College and Association of Registered Nurses of Alberta. Hoveland believes we have much in Camrose of which to be proud. "We are almost in a way
Agnes Hoveland
like a hidden gem. We have pockets of excellence. In education we have a world class university, one of the top 100 in the world. In the arts we have, with the Bailey Theatre and Camrose Performing Arts Centre, a tremendous opportunity to build on what we had in the past and what we can do in the future. In health care we have excellent things happening that address rural needs. Through the university and all the health facilities we have here we are able to offer things like the after degree nursing pro-
gram, which helps to retain registered nurses in rural settings. We also have the medical rehab/physiotherapy program through the university that is speaking to the recruitment and retention of physiotherapists, and I see growing opportunity for that with the existing facilities we have." Hoveland said Covenant Health St. Mary's has been a pilot for several programs that now are provincial. "The Community Cancer Centre, which I coordinated when it started, was the first community cancer centre in Alberta. Now there are eleven. That was a joint venture with the Alberta Cancer Board, East Central Health at the time, and St. Mary's Hospital." Hoveland believes that it is key for the new City council to have a balanced approach to deciding what services should be offered. "We have to look and listen, and evaluate what we can and cannot afford. In any organization, whatever size the budget is, there has to be a fiscally prudent approach where all the pieces are weighed."

Duhamel water servicing receives council approval By Murray Green Camrose County accepted the tender submitted by Nu Edge Construction of Camrose for the Duhamel water servicing project for the sum of $818,210 to be funded by the 2011 MSI Capital Projects allocation. After hearing about two bids for the project from Nu Edge Construction and Westcan Tel, councillor Glen Nelson moved to award the contract to Nu Edge. Administration indicated that $1,181,652 of the 2011 MSI funding allocation will be applied to complete this project because the tendered amount is within that allocation. This amount, plus the local improvement levy of $70,000 make up the total project cost. Ohaton water The County advised the City of Camrose that it was taking over operation of the Braim water distribution system effective February 1, 2014, as per the current service agreement. Camrose County has been intending to operate and maintain its own water distribution systems. Currently, the City of Camrose is operating and maintaining Braim and Ohaton water distribution systems. This has all been accomplished under a contractual agreement. The County took over the Ervick Water Distribution system in 2012 and it has given the county an inventory of experience, operators, equipment and knowledge for operating and managing all of its own water utilities. In the last four years, the Ohaton water operations and maintenance paid $104,222 to the City of Camrose. A higher amount in 2012 ($42,068) was due to water leaks and subsequent repairs. "As we have been operating Ervick since 2012 and New Norway for the past eight months, we feel that we can provide a fairly accurate cost to provide these services in house," said Graham Backus, public works manager. "Based on Ervick and New Norway, we can operate and maintain these systems for one-third the cost that we pay the city." Most of the up-front costs associated with utilities has been paid for in 2012 when Camrose County took over Ervick. Costs of purchasing a water meter reading device, software, tools and parts have been completed. Water services are
being installed in Duhamel in 2013-14 and potentially Armena in 2014. "Our utility department is growing at a quick rate. We must ensure that we have the manpower to be able to competently take these systems over for not only operations and maintenance, but management," added Graham. "Each system requires its own annual report with Alberta Environment which takes time and effort. In 2012, each annual report took a week to complete. In 2014, with the potential to have six potable water systems, the annual reports will be expected to take six weeks to complete, which must be submitted prior to the end of February for the previous year. Camrose County must provide the City of Camrose with six months' notice prior to taking over any of the water systems as per the agreement. "Including incidental operations costs associated with the operation of the system and the costs associated with adding one additional staff member to the water wastewater division of the public works department, we are still well below what we are currently paying," explained Graham. The county is paying $98,000 for the combined Braim and Ohaton projects. Bridge repairs The county awarded the tender to Bridgeman Services to repair two bridges for a total of $132,980 (not including GST) with funding to come from $105,600 budgeted in public works general construction and the remaining $27,380 to come from bridge reserves. MPA Engineering was requested to complete site investigations to determine the extent of repairs required. Inspections on the bridges were performed May 11, 2012, where it was found that repairs to a bridge on East Lynn Road was required, and a cap replacement, drive steel pile, rip-rap, guard rail repair northeast Rosalind was required. "Due to provincial budget cuts, Camrose County would be financially accountable for the full cost of repairs," said Graham. The county budgeted $105,600 for the repairs for this year and the remaining $27,380 will come from bridge reserve money. The intention is to have the bridges operating at full weight capacity.

Augustana’s Dr. Audet talks bats at stewardship session By Samara Frolan, Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society coordinator Last week’s event brought a bittersweet ending to Camrose Wildlife Stewardship Society’s environmental educational program. The 11th and final event of the year took place at the Stoney Creek Centre on Thursday. Dr. Doris Audet from University of Alberta, Augustana Campus presented “The Flying Mammal”. “Bats are the only true mammals that can fly,” said Audet. The bat expert discussed the defining features of these interesting creatures. She informed the crowd that there are bats in other parts of the world that eat fruit, but all bats found in Alberta are insectivores. “Big brown bats can eat half of their body weight in insects,” said Audet. Doris explained some common misconceptions about bats. Many peo-
ple incorrectly believe that all bats are black and that these animals are blind. “Most of them, in fact, are really quite colorful,” said Audet. “Bats, especially fruit bats, can see very well at night,” she added. Dr. Audet explained that the size of bats’ eyes indicates the importance of their eyesight for survival. Dr. Audet asked the audience to walk, or rather fly, in the shoes of a pregnant bat. “Imagine having a belly a quarter of your body weight and you have to fly with it,” she said. “They [bats] only produce one or two young at the same time. The chance of survival for each of them is only about 50 per cent,” said Audet. The biology professor has been making trips to Costa Rica with Augustana students since 1999. She showed a number of pictures of the large hollowed trees in Costa Rica that bats use as roosts. “These big 500-year-

old trees were like condos for bats,” she said. “Bats are very vulnerable because we often have tens of thousands of bats in one roost, because we have limited roosts,” said Audet. Agriculture and urbanization have destroyed areas that were previously inhabited by bats. A more recent threat
to bat species is white nose syndrome, which leads to fatality in bats. “All of the species are vulnerable,” said Audet. Doris showed a map of the distribution of bats with white nose syndrome found in North America. “It is moving west very quickly,” the vertebrate zoologist said. The evening was con-
cluded with a short walk through the Stoney Creek valley to search for bats using an echolocator. The people who waited until 9:45 p.m. for the bat walk were not disappointed. We were fortunate to hear many bats, and we even spotted a few of these.

MLS# 3342656 8 minutes from Camrose on pavement – “a hundred miles away” from neighbours and city traffic. As you make the turn off of Hwy. 26 (the correction line) and enter the paved lane to the 2,412 square foot home, which could be yours, you have to momentarily “remember to breathe”. The setting, the exterior of the brick and stucco home, the landscaping, trees and the vegetable garden could easily appear on a page of a calendar. Inside the Cape Cod style home, you will be wowed by the warmth of oak throughout, whether it’s in the cozy media room or the formal dining room which features brand new flooring. The wood burning fireplace and new masonry work is particularly impressive. You will find high quality doors and windows – all highly energy efficient and beautiful. The kitchen is a masterpiece in design with a fabulous, new kitchen island which contains a countertop stove with exciting new
“pop-up” exhaust filtration system. By the way, the granite is spectacular! Your dishwasher is built in. It’s no surprise that the appliances and laundry equipment are all top-of-the-line. A spectacular custom-made oak staircase leads you to the second storey of your dream home which features three bedrooms. There is a deck off the southfacing master bedroom. You’ll sink in the upgraded broadloom carpeting. You will love the convenience of the massive walk-in closet, and the private bathroom – one of three in this executive quality, no-smoking home. The skylight floods the upstairs with soothing natural light. A recently updated boiler heating system has been installed, with no expense spared. You’ll love the ability to have instant hot water on demand! Your garage represents every man’s dream. With two full-size vehicles inside, the cavernous garage still looks “empty”. You will love the ingenious vegetable storage locker. Outside is a concrete
parking pad. You will almost hate to leave the house, or the beauty of the new professionally designed sidewalks, and other decor enhancements but a walk outside, past a strategic shelterbelt, yields a view of several wellmaintained outbuildings. The 32’ x 48’ quonset with upper floor, is a real treat and will prove to be extremely handy for you. You also get a 24’ x 48’ and a 24’ x 64’ metal-covered pole shed, a garden shed, small pumphouse, feed shed and a corral system with roughed-in waterers. With this property being 31.5 total acres, 20 of these in a bountiful hay crop, this is a perfect place for horses or other livestock or specialized farming (small plot). The reliable well produces well over 10 gallons per minute with additional water available from a dugout on the northeast corner of the acreage. Despite the quality, the luxury, the space, and the setting, taxes are very
low at just $2,287 per year. The asking price, though you could never duplicate what is offered at this amount, is just $775,000. For a private showing or for more information, contact the property owner Seb Stang, 780.678.6841, licensed associate with

Producers celebrate first anniversary of marketing freedom By Dan Jensen
Crowfoot Member of Parliament and Minister of State for Finance Kevin Sorenson joined central Alberta producers in celebrating the first anniversary of marketing freedom in a program at Little Red Hen Mills just south of Camrose Aug. 1. "A year ago today we, as a (Conservative) government, opened the door to marketing freedom as we promised," said Sorenson. "Farmers elected our government on a platform to make marketing freedom a reality and we were pleased to deliver on that promise. But it was the farmers here in Alberta and across Canada and across the west who walked through that door. Farmers were the ones that made marketing freedom work for our industry and our economy." A Canadian Federation of Independent Business study conducted over the first year of marketing freedom found that the vast majority of agri-businesses (81 per cent) were positively impacted by marketing freedom. More than three-quarters said they had greater control of the decision-making for their products and two-thirds said marketing freedom has delivered better market signals, better access to competitive prices and increased cash flow." "Marketing freedom has reinvigorated our grain industry as never before,"
Kevin Sorenson
said Sorenson. "In year one we saw good movement of grains throughout our system. Organic farmers can now sell their crop to the customers with no red tape, with no fees, with no sale or force to the Canadian Wheat Board, and then with no need to buy it back from the Canadian Wheat Board. Malt barley producers here in Alberta are contracting daily with U.S. breweries, something that would not have happened, would have been unthinkable under the monopoly." Sorenson said since day one, marketing freedom has been a team effort. "When we passed the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act in late 2011, the Minister said that
our work is not over, and that remains true today. "We need to continue to drive a modern competitive grain industry in Alberta and across Canada. Our government is going to continue to modernize our grain industry through marketing freedom, through Canadian Grain Commission reform, and railway legislation. We are working with industry to explore ways to improve the variety registration system so that we would see red tape cut and also that we would be able to be innovative enough to get new tools into the hands of producers, as well as provide better incentive." Sorenson said marketing freedom couldn't have come at a better time. "World demand for food is growing as never before, as we have seen China and India develop more and more of an appetite for our grains and for our commodities. It has brought real results to our farm businesses in Alberta and I am convinced the best is yet to come." One of the producers who was most thrilled to see the arrival of marketing freedom was Jim Chatenay, a former Canadian Wheat Board director from Innisfail who was jailed for donating a bushel of wheat to a 4-H Club in Montana. "I got to see the end of the monopoly and believe you me it wasn't easy," said Chatenay, who in his campaign
to be elected as director told people not to vote for him if they like the monopoly. "It was kind of like pulling a thistle that was rooted clear down to China." Chatenay said his efforts were rewarded recently when he had a conversation with a person who gave him the hardest time about trying to end the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) monopoly. "He came to me about a month ago and said, Jim, I thought I would never tell you this but I think it is going to work." Walt Suntjens, from the Hanna-Coronation area, said it was one of his greatest goals to see the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly abolished. "Our government has done a great job. We live in the greatest country in the world, we are in the greatest industry in the world and now we have one of the greatest marketing systems in the world. That, ladies and gentlemen, puts us in a very enviable position." Suntjens said last year in October he was able to pay off his operating loan selling wheat, something that had never happened before. "I sell mainly soft white wheat on the Chicago exchange. I can hedge that wheat, and I have a future. I know where my farm is going and what I will need for cash flow. It is absolutely a 100 per cent turnaround."
Steven Snider, from Little Red Hen Mills, said two years ago, when the monopoly existed, the price for feed barley was around $5 or $5.25 per bushel. "This year we moved all of our crop between $10 and $12.75 per bushel for feed barley, and I moved out 160 metric tonnes of barley that got milled for organic dog food going states side. Before with the wheat board we would never have had a chance with that market. It would have been an uphill battle to do a buyback with an entity that actually had the ability to tell me what I could sell it for and the opportunity to undercut me and beat me to the mark by selling to them instead of me. Now everything is normal. I sell my barley like I sell my oats, like I sell my hay. I phone up a contractor, a broker, and we talk price and there is nobody meddling with us. It is just up to me and them to do a business transaction and move forward." The Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act came into force on December 15, 2011. On August 1, 2012, the Canadian Wheat Board (Interim Operations) Act was enabled and the Canadian Wheat Board repealed, which allowed Western Canadian grain farmers the freedom to make their own business decisions.

Rebecca Nelson knows firsthand the value of goal-setting. As she started pondering her adult life and analyzing her various career options, she knew she wanted to become a professional financial advisor. She also knew that in order to provide trusted advice, she would have to become well educated. She excelled in studies as she earned her Bachelor of Commerce degree in Finance. The next important decision also took research and planning. Rebecca needed to decide where she was going to work and in which city. After living in three different cities within the province, Rebecca quickly learned there was no place like home! Camrose was indeed the clear choice for her to launch her career. After discussion with the staff at Edward Jones, it was obvious that this respected investment and insurance business was right for her and vice versa. Rebecca approaches financial interactions with her clients in the same fashion as her own goal-setting experience.

Brenda Gurr, General Manager
Karen Weder, Manager
Sometimes a phone call can change your life. One of those came 24 years ago to Brenda Gurr, who was working as a restaurant supervisor in Calgary. Her brother Kevin needed her to manage the lounge at his Boston Pizza in Camrose. After talking it over with her mom, she packed up her things and headed to Camrose to help out. It’s family, after all. She could always move back to Calgary, which she almost did three months later, but her new friends made her feel welcome, her brother encouraged her to stay and Camrose had a warm vibe, kind of like family. She’s seen a lot of people come and go over those 24 years. Customers who started coming to BP in their teens are now bringing their own children. Employees who were working part-time in high school are raising families of their own. “When I first started Kevin always said he wanted to create a culture of family here,” says Brenda. And that’s just what they have done. She doesn’t have a cook with less than seven years’ experience. Some staffers have been with the Gurrs for 20 years. They stay because it’s like family, with Brenda at the centre helping them feel welcome. Come to Boston Pizza. They’ll treat you like family.
It’s all about teamwork at Camrose Registry. “Of course, policies and procedures must be met and maintained to specific Alberta government regulations, but the process is made more efficient and productive by a team that works together, solving problems, reaching goals and satisfying the clients who come through the door,” says Camrose Registry manager Karen Weder. “We have a great team here.” Since Karen became the registry’s manager some eight years ago, she has seen the office grow substantially from three stations to five stations – a 66 percent increase. “As Camrose grows, so do we,” says Karen with a cheerful smile. Everyone in the office strives to create a friendly, personal atmosphere while providing the knowledge and advice people need, whether registering a new vehicle, renewing a licence, filing an annual return, registering a corporation or seeking any of the many other services offered by the registry. “If you’re planning on using any of the registry’s services,” Karen says, “it’s a good idea to phone ahead. In some cases you may need to bring documents with you. Knowing what you need in advance can save a lot of time and inconvenience.” You can count on the Camrose Registries team to steer you straight.

Colleen Labelle, Owner McSliquors
When Colleen Labelle bought the liquor store next to Monte Carlo Restaurant in November she saw only one thing: potential. She polished the floors, cleaned up the office, washed the walls and touched up the paint, put a new glass door on the walk-in cooler (coldest beer in town!) and tripled the inventory. The place sparkles nearly as brightly as Colleen’s eyes when she talks about those first few weeks as the owner of McSliquors. She wanted to call it Camrose City Sliquors but the handle was too long. A close friend suggested putting ‘Mc’ in front of it and presto, McSliquors. Colleen knew Camrose from her days as a tobacco sales representative selling cigars to vendors. She liked it here, so when the opportunity came to buy an independent liquor store she couldn’t resist. Business is good (again with that twinkle in her eye) and her goals include becoming the go-to store for specialty products like craft-brewed beer and hard-to-find wines. She and her friend Murray, who manages the new smoke shop in Camrose for Colleen, will play host to tastings this fall, introducing unique vintages and brews to aficionados here. The next time you’re looking for a good drink, stop into McSliquors for friendly service and the coldest beer in town.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Josh Millang, left and Adam Kuntz will be playing side-by-side as linebackers on the Edmonton Huskies junior football team. Both players are sponsored by On Track Kuntz and Company. The Huskies open the regular season on Aug. 17.
By Murray Green Josh Millang and Adam Kuntz will fill out the bulk of the line backing core of the Edmonton Huskies junior football team. The former Camrose Composite High School and minor football players are scheduled to be starters on defence. In fact, the entire line-backing squad from the Battle River Shock midget team will be reunited on the Huskies. "We will be playing side by side with Josh on the outside and I'll be the interior linebacker," explained Adam. "Brandt Kolybaba from Lacombe and the Shock is the third guy. Trust makes a huge difference to us. When you play with the same players you pick up on their tendencies and you gain trust, which makes it easier to play together." Josh likes the added communication. "When you know someone for a long time, it is easier to communicate. It's not always verbal. You know where that person is going to be when you need them," said Josh. "Also, what I feel is that you want to fight for those beside you on the field after you have played with them more. It is going to be cool to play along side someone you have known for a long time." Defensive coordinators often state that the linebackers are the most important people on the field. "The mack (inside) linebacker is the captain and usually calls all of the plays. Adam will be calling plays in the huddle," said Josh. "You have to know the plays and the linebackers are at the heart of the
defence," continued Adam, to finish his thought. "If we have a solid linebacker team then the others will fall into place to form a good defence. Trust, communication and everyone wanting to work together is what makes a good defence." A training camp of more than 80 players was trimmed prior to the first league game. "The linemen's focus is on stopping the run, or getting to the quarterback. The defensive backs concentrate on the pass. And, the linebackers have to worry about both the run and the pass," said Josh. "We have to be ready for everything the offence throws at us." Adam and Josh are replacing graduating fifth year players and have big shoes to fill. "Coach Iain talked to us and told us what he expected from us," Adam said. "He basically told us this is our team and take control and do what you want with it. This is something for us to jump at because it is what we have been waiting for. This is our opportunity and now it is here." "In the past, I don't know that everyone knew what they were playing for. When you are out there you are playing for the person beside you and for the whole team. For us to take on the role of leadership is good because we know what was missing," explained Adam. "On a personal note, it is about moving to the next level. We want to improve and then move on to the next level," added Adam. Continued on page 15

Huskies on rebound Continued from page 14
After winning the national championships in back to back years, 2004 and 2005, the Huskies suffered through the draught. The team is now in a position to prepare for a longer run this season. Kicker Jonathan Heidebrecht is also a familiar Camrose teammate to the linebackers. Another former CCHS Trojan Colton Cardinal is taking a year off from the Huskies to recover from injury. Dilshant Garcha is also looking at joining the Huskies. "Both Josh and I want to play at the university level next year. We want to have success not only for the team, but for us as well," said Adam. "We have a great group of coaches and it is like night and day from last year." Josh added that the team has already learned more plays this summer as well. "We have players coming back from university, so that is huge as well."

The playbook will be well used this year. "It gives us a huge advantage to pick up where we left off instead of relearning everything," said Adam. "Playing football at the high school level in Camrose and on the younger teams helped us prepare for junior football. It is a big jump, but it made it possible," said Josh. "We received incredible coaching, which gave us the tools to move on to a higher level," said Adam. "The difference is speed and strength." The Huskies open the regular season against their rival Edmonton Wildcats at Clarke Stadium at 7 p.m. on Aug. 17. All Huskies games are available on the www.edmontonhuskies.com site. The Huskies also play home games against the Calgary Colts on Aug. 31, the Saskatoon Hilltops on Sept. 21 and the Winnipeg Rifles on Oct. 13.

Sponsorships still available for Tour of Alberta By Dan Jensen
There's still time to become a sponsor of the Camrose portion of the Tour of Alberta Sept. 4. "We have a number of ways for businesses and organizations that want to get their names out in front of the masses, from community spirit banners to signage," said Tour of Alberta Camrose organizing committee sponsorship director Kevin Gurr. Community spirit banners with the Tour of Alberta logo and name of the business organization will be installed on City streetlight poles for a minimum of 30 days. The banners will be made available to the sponsor after the event so it can be displayed at his or her own business. Downtown sprint sponsor signs measuring 10 by 4 feet will be placed along the Main Street sprint line. Grandstand sponsor

The Camrose organizing committee is also offering the chance to sponsor one of six grandstand seating areas near the Tour of Alberta finish line. "For $1,200, sponsors will receive unique signage on the grandstand as well as 40 tickets that they will be able to give away to customers and clients," said Gurr. Intersection sponsors

Vehicle dealerships, farm equipment dealers and rental companies will have the opportunities to display their products at an intersection through which Tour of Alberta participants will be passing. "We have many unique opportunities that are available," said Gurr. "Pricing is being based on location." Good response
Tour of Alberta sponsorship requests are being well received by businesses and organizations who see the value of supporting a community event and promoting themselves to a world-wide audience. The event will be televised to 35 million viewers across Canada and 100 million households across the world. "We have a lot of great community people stepping up to the plate," said Gurr. "Camrose Chrysler and ATCO are the major ones but we also have Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre, Dr. Rhonda Markowsky, Boston Pizza, Kuboda and Royal LePage." The estimated cost of bringing the Tour of Alberta to Camrose is between $80,000 and $90,000. "The City of Camrose is covering $45,000 and our committee is covering the rest," said Gurr. "The City saw the value in this event
because of the media exposure it will be creating." Any funds that are left after the Tour of Alberta is over will be put into a pool to attract future top attractions. Tour Alberta Festival
A Tour of Alberta festival will be held at the Edgeworth Centre from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. "It's going to be an event similar to the one when Camrose welcomed the Olympic Games torch," said Gurr. "We're going to have a kids' zone with face painting and balloon art, entertainment, beer gardens and food vendors and a number of exhibitors. It should be a real carnival atmosphere." A Jumbotron will allow spectators to watch the final two hours of the race from the bleachers. The festival will be followed by a tailgate party that will lead into the Augustana Vikings' 6:30 p.m. exhibition game against the University of Alberta Golden Bears hockey team. Tour route
Stage one of the Tour of Alberta will begin at Festival Place in Sherwood Park and make a quick visit to the city of Fort Saskatchewan. From there, racers will curl south to Ardrossan and the scenic lake district, where they skirt the edge of Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. They will arrive in Camrose between 3 and 4 in the afternoon, depending on the route conditions and the strategy that evolves that day. "They will be travelling a distance of 158 km, which is relatively short for these folks," said Tour of Alberta Camrose organizing committee chair Todd Markowsky. "It will take them about four hours." The racers will do three and a half laps of the city's downtown core, before finishing at the Rudy Swanson Recreational Park. The route will take them down main street, across 48 Avenue, past Augustana, west up the hill towards the recreation grounds and the new Rotary Centre, past the hospital and the Wildrose Co-op. The Tour of Alberta Camrose organizing committee was distributing cowbells at Jaywalkers' Jamboree which they are hoping spectators will clang when the cyclists pass them on Camrose streets. "We are encouraging and wanting to be alongside the road," said Markowsky. "The more noise you make, the more bells you ring, the more signs you have, the more ridiculous costumes you have, the greater the chance that you could be on television."

Arts groups meet with culture minister By Dan Jensen
Representatives of arts organizations in Camrose met with Alberta culture minister Heather Klimchuk at the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre July 27. Theo Thirsk, who is involved with the Camrose Arts Society, told Klimchuk he is concerned with what is the unculturing of school programs. He said school budgets are getting restricted and the first things that get cut in the school budgets are arts programs. Cathie Johnson, founder and director of AboutTime Productions, a theatre school for kids 18 months to 18 years of age, told the Minister she is pleased with the work of Theatre Alberta. "We use that all the time and use the workshops as resources," said Johnson. "We send about ten kids a year to Artstrek, thanks to the generosity of our Camrose community. Thank you for always supporting Theatre Alberta. We are hoping it will always continue as a resource for communities outside of Edmonton and Calgary." Camrose Craft Centre representative Lois Larson said the difficulty of obtaining grants is causing her organization to question whether or not it can survive. "We have a huge rent of $12,790 that we have to come up with every year. If we maintain 60 to 65 members we can do so but if that goes down we can't. We do not pay our teachers. They teach from September to April once a week for a couple of hours. We have some people who have been doing that for decades but we have some who are now in their nineties still doing it who will not be able to do it in the foreseeable future. I don't think we will find other people who will teach without being paid." Bailey Theatre Society president Judy McLean told the Minister that while the Bailey Theatre was successful in obtaining funding from the province, federal government and the municipality for capital purposes and is now serving as a huge boon to downtown Camrose, it is now struggling to come up with the funds to pay an overwhelming mortgage and operating expenses. "To do the fund-raising to be able to offset the operational costs is just beyond what I would ever see doing. I am sure it is the same for all other small theatres in Alberta. We know that theatres don't make money. There seems to be grants available for capital expenditures but there seems to be nothing for operational. We really need something in the operational funding that we can draw on to offset some of our costs."
Alberta Culture minister Heather Klimchuk enjoyed an ice cream cone with Tour of Alberta mascot Swifty the Fox, Wetaskiwin-Camrose MLA Verlyn Olson (left) and Travel Alberta representative Wynn McLean (right) July 27 before heading over to the Chuck MacLean Arts Centre to hear the concerns of Camrose arts groups.
Marian Williams, who is with the Bailey Theatre Society and the Craft Centre, said volunteer burnout is becoming a big issue with volunteer groups." Camrose choir instructor Joy-Anne Murphy said there needs to be better instruction in the arts in the school system so that students can become active participants rather than passive listeners. "I think we need to plan. I know a couple of years ago the Alberta government and Alberta education were coming through with some new modular ideas for arts education which was just catastrophic from our perspective because they wanted to allow kids to try music for three months and then try something else for three months. You get no intensive skill development. You can't sustain the ability to play the piano with a three month exposure to it." Murphy questioned what the Alberta government is bequeathing to the future if it is not trying to foster a particularly Alberta culture that is varied and is not solely reliant on cowboys, hockey and oil. "You have to allow for kids to delve into artistic endeavours in a way that allows them to choose whether they are good at that and could go further, whether it be music or art or weaving. I think we give them dribs and drabs and don't really allow for a solid foundation."
Murphy questioned whether people will be able to afford to use the performing arts centre when it opens. "I am in two different groups where members are strongly resistant to using bingos or casinos as their primary fund-raising option, and that is what we have right now. A lot of people are unwilling to gamble as part of that, or even accept money from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. There are some that are saying that is really tightwalking for them." Former drama and special needs teacher Pat Mader Mundel questioned the Minister as to whether there could be an expanded arts and culture fund that is designated for rural communities and rural citizens that have some interesting challenges in the rural context. "We don't have the same corporate base for funding (as the urban centres) and we don't have the same population base. I know it is not a cake walk to raise funds in the big city either but as someone else was saying, we are constantly hitting up the same businesses. There was an interesting economic development plan consultant who came to create a plan that we have been waiting for in Camrose for some time and I found it really instructive. It echoed again what some of the other folks were saying, that community groups
and organizations are currently bearing the burden of workloads that are already too large to manage. There could be some kind of fund that would allow us to look at coordinating underutilized spaces, mandating partnerships with arts groups, and demonstrating hard core that there are economic spinoffs for whatever gets done." City councillor John Howard expressed the hope that the provincial government would follow the lead of the federal government, which matched its sports grant tax credit with an arts credit. "It took them (federal government) a long time to figure out that the arts were equally as important as sports, and I am glad to see that finally has come about." Howard also suggested the government consider a matching grant for operating expenses so that responsibility wasn't lifted off all our individual organizations but rather was shared. "That would be a way to keep the community involved but also provide for access to funding that just isn't available in this town. I talk to merchants as part of my fundraising (with AboutTime Productions) and without picking on any particular name, you go to a pizza parlour here in town and knock on their door and the owners will tell you you are the fifth one that week
and it is only Tuesday. This community, as generous as it is, is strapped. We may end up with three theatres with so many dark nights that the sense of invigoration will become a nightmare." Minister Klimchuk said she and Education Minister Jeff Johnson are currently doing a curriculum rewrite of arts and culture for kindergarten to Grade 12. "One of the things about creativity is one of the skills we learn from it is focusing, being able to focus on something. That is what you learn from being creative. What I am concerned about and what Minister Johnson is concerned about is once you get out of elementary then the choices begin. Then you have to choose arts or something else. So how do we incorporate that (arts) and have something in there? Lets face it, there are going to be some kids who say forget it, I am not going to do that, but we know some of the best engineers, some of the best doctors and lawyers are some of the most creative people in the world." Minister Klimchuk said her government puts about a million dollars a year into the Artists in Residence program that encourages those who are involved in the arts to go into the different schools. "I would love to be able to put more money into that because it is oversubscribed. I know the importance of that, and if we can leverage some of those programs more then it gives professional artists a chance to get paid to go into a school and do something, whether you are dancer or a painter or in theatre." Klimchuk encouraged arts groups to look at bringing everyone together in a collaborative manner to support arts projects. "What I value and what I am looking for in grants applications is integration and partnerships. That is so absolutely critical. What I am seeing across Alberta is groups coming together sharing space and sharing administration. Anytime you can share you can always learn from each other." Klimchuk said she would like to see in the next provincial budget a new Rural Alberta Development Fund with a focus on the arts. "Under the Rural Alberta Development Fund last year, which I think was the last year for the funding, was a big component for arts and recreation. There were a lot of projects that were funded through that. If you go to the website you will be able to see some of the cool things that were done."

Lambert, The Band Perry booked for next BVJ By Murray Green Even before headliner Tim McGraw arrived on the main stage of the Big Valley Jamboree on Aug. 4, people were already talking about next year. Panhandle Productions announced that Miranda Lambert, Dean Brody, the Band Perry and Darius Rucker are confirmed for next summer. Tickets for the event go on sale on Aug. 19 and a sellout is expected in record time. "We sold out the concert last February and we expect another sellout," said producer Larry Werner. "People have faith in us that we are going to book some great acts." Lambert first appeared in Camrose in 2010. She has been popular in the country scene since 2005 after being named the year’s fresh face of country music by American Country Music. In 2013, she left the ACM awards with four awards and had an additional five nominations. Dean Brody is returning to the BVJ after three years away from the festival. Dean captures the cowboy spirit of country through his down-to-earth, soulful storytelling. With six Canadian Country Music Association awards under his belt, he has come a long way from working at a sawmill, but he’s never forgotten his roots on his journey. By the time The Band Perry visits Camrose, they will be known internationally and are already fan favourites. The three siblings from Tennessee have become southern sensations since their self-titled debut album in 2010 and have gone on to win awards from CMT, ACM, and more. Building off their unique style that earned them the success of their debut album and mixing in everything they’ve learned from making it big, they’ve come together to create a thunderous set of songs on their new album Pioneer that is designed to get crowds on their feet and turn concerts into parties. Although Darius Rucker might not be a household name, his work will be familiar to you. He is a

David Goa recalled memories of Chester Ronning Aug. 9. By Dan Jensen
In the early spring of 1968, a year remembered for revolutionary activity throughout Canada, the United States and much of Europe, Chester Ronning gave the keynote address at the annual theological conference at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon. "The invitation to have him speak in 1968 was not without controversy," said Ronning Centre director David Goa, who did some reminiscing about Ronning – a man who spent part of his youth in China as the son of Canadian missionaries – during the launch of the 2013 Camrose Founders Days celebration at the Bailey Theatre August 9. "Raymond Christenson, who was there that day, noted the uneasiness that moved through the auditorium. The Cold War created hostile and fearful attitudes towards China. Despite, or perhaps because of, the longstanding role of Lutheran missionaries in China, the fear of communism and the negative rhetoric about China and its leadership since the revolution shaped the attitudes of many in the Lutheran community, including most who came to the theological conference in 1968." Ronning was wellknown at the time he gave his lecture for the affection he had for China and for his untiring work to normalize Canada's relationship with the country. "Many knew he was a socialist who had deep sympathies with the revolution in China," said Goa. In his speech, Ronning departed from the pattern of following closely to biblical text, choosing instead to map the history of the Christian mission movement in China from its beginning through to his parents' generation and his own childhood experience. "As was always the case his lecture was sprinkled
with stories and anecdotes, full of charm that spoke of his love of China, and were intended to open up the audience, to see China in a new way – in a way beyond the headlines in the newspaper," said Goa. The argument that Ronning made was curious as well as disturbing. "The Christian movement, he said, played an important role of China," said Goa. "It was formative, he said, for what happened in China. It played an important role in bringing an end to colonialism, to tyranny and to systemic poverty." Only at the end, after he made his case and wooed the audience to think differently about China, did Ronning start quoting from scripture. "He quoted from Jesus Christ's best known sermon, a text familiar to everyone in the audience that day," said Goa. "It comes at the end of a lengthy discourse of Jesus in which he is pointing to the many and varying ways that we as human beings mistake what is central to being righteous, and focus on secondary matters, and miss doing the work which can bring about liberty and dignity to all people. So with his fine voice, Ronning concluded with the words from the gospel of Matthew, 'but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.'" Goa said Chester Ronning used his considerable gifts in service to extending justice, liberty and dignity in all the contexts of his long and extraordinary fruitful life. "He did so without rancour, without ideological brittleness, or false righteousness." Goa said that the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta intends to initiate a Chester Ronning Lecture on Religion and Diplomacy. "It is a huge issue in our world these days and one

Chev Impala One of the industry's most enduring and popular nameplates
Graeme Davidson By Dan Jensen
The 2014 Chev Impala at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC represents the tenth generation of one of the industry's most enduring and popular nameplates. "Impala has a heritage of pushing the segment with bold designs, new technologies and premium features not typically found at its price point," said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC Will McClellan. "The 2014 Impala's combination of efficiency, refinement, infotainment choices and driving confidence will rest the benchmark in its segment and affirm its position as Chevrolet's flagship sedan." Driving experience
Impala offers three powertrains, each featuring fuelsaving direct injection and lightweight components: the 3.6 litre V-6, the new Ecotec 2.5 litre four-cylinder, and the Ecotec 2.4 litre with eAssist. Output for the 3.6 litre V-6 is estimated at 305 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque. That is the highest horsepower output in the segment from a naturally-aspirated V-6 engine. Lightweight features support a more balanced driving experience and include an integrated cylinder head/ exhaust manifold design that saves approximately six kg per engine. The Ecotec 2.5 litre is part of a new family of four-
cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement. It is estimated at 196 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft.. of torque. Impala's Ecotec 2.4 litre engine with eAssist provides electrical assist in certain conditions to save fuel. It is rated at an estimated 182 horsepower and helps achieve 6.2 litres per 100 km. All of Impala's engines are matched with six-speed automatic transmissions. Control
A slightly longer wheelbase gives the 2014 Impala an excellent feel of comfort and control, no matter what the road conditions. Engineers optimized the upper body structure shape, material and metal gauge to meet all performance requirements with minimal mass, and then applied the mass strategically to other parts of the vehicle. This mass savings allowed engineers to add front strut tower reinforcement to improve structural feel. Those strut towers are home to a MacPherson-strut front suspension design that delivers a greater measure of control with rebound springs that are internal to the struts. They enable more refined calibration of the struts that result in a smoother overall ride, while also enhancing body roll control and weight transfer during acceleration or turning.
An isolated front cradle for the engine and transmission, as well as a hydraulic ride bushing, help deliver a smoother, quieter ride. All models feature an electric, variable-assist steering system that helps save fuel by drawing energy only when the steering wheel is turned. Designed to complement Impala's balance of responsiveness and comfort, the EPS feel is light and direct, with greater assistance at slow speeds and higher effort at highway speeds. It also incorporates Pull Drift Compensation, which automatically adjusts the steering effort to account for factors such as crowned roads or high crosswinds – factors that typically cause the driver to turn the steering wheel slightly to maintain a straight path. Ambience
A comprehensive package of sound-absorbing, sound-suppressing and even active noise cancellation (standard on four cylinder models) – a first for a Chevy sedan – helps make the 2014 Impala Chevrolet's quietest full-size sedan ever. An acoustically-laminated windshield and front-door glass, along with liquid-applied sound deadener, soundabsorbing carpet and an isolated engine cradle, are some of the features that help provide a quieter driving experience.
With active noise cancellation, ceiling-mounted microphones detect engine noise, the frequencies of which are processed by a computer that directs counteracting sound waves through the audio system's speakers and subwoofer. Thin A-pillars and a low instrument panel enhance outward visibility, while the car's six-window greenhouse surrounds passengers with natural light. The seats are bolstered for greater support and the seat cushions deliver a firm, premium feel. Standard on LT and LTZ models, the rear-seat headrests fold to improve rear visibility when there are no back-seat passengers. Premium interior materials and details such as high-quality fabric, sueded microfibre and perforated leather appointments, complement the quiet environment and give the Impala a substantive look and feel. The instrument cluster has a rich look, with multidimensional gauges and a configurable colour driver information centre with a 4.2-inch screen. The cluster's ice-blue lighting enhances the upscale aura of the cabin, while available chrome trim with "bleed through" ambient lighting further enhances the cabin's sophisticated flair. It completely transforms the trim's appearance by illuminating it during nighttime driving.
A prominent centre stack is integrated in the instrument panel and houses the climate controls and Chevrolet MyLink, which includes navigation and Bluetooth audio streaming, among many other features, and is controlled via a touch screen on an available eightinch display. A standard audio amplifier is a feature not typical for the segment, and a Bose surround-sound audio system is available – the first in a Chevrolet car. Design details
Impala's long, low proportion has a wind-swept profile that suggests motion, while the range of 18-, 19and 20-inch wheels is tailored to the body to provide that just right stance. At the front, low-profile projectorbeam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps on LTZ sweep around the corners and frame a wide grille, while a power dome hood conveys performance. Sculpted coves in the body sides add to the Impala's design drama, with a sweeping signature cue in the rear fenders that acknowledges classic Impala designs. See the 2014 Chevrolet Impala at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

By Dan Jensen City council has approved a request from AboutTime Productions for a grant of $2,500 to offset the cost of representing Camrose in the parades throughout the province this summer. AboutTime Productions members accompanied the Mirror Lake Express train in the Ponoka Stampede, Calgary Stampede and the Edmonton K-Days parades. "The AboutTime Productions performers entertained with high energy, enthusiasm and talent," said AboutTime Productions secretary Lorraine Bell in a letter prior to council's Aug. 6 meeting. "The 25 performers logged up to 43 hours in rehearsals to prep for the events, as well as their individual practice times and it was evident. The experience in Calgary was rewarding. The youth felt great about bringing some joy to a City that has seen much recent devastation. We heard many comments from the crowds as we passed exclaiming, 'Wow, those kids are actually singing,' and 'Oh, they are from Big Valley Jamboree' and a lot of shouts of 'Go Camrose'!" While the Camrose Chamber of Commerce paid for Calgary hotel expenses, AboutTime Productions was required to pay the cost of bus transportation and the bright red t-shirts with Camrose printed on the back. "The total extra cost to our group was approximately $2,500," said Bell. "The performers in our group and their supervisors incurred all the other food and incidental costs." Councillors Ray McIsaac and Max Lindstrand expressed kudos to the members of AboutTime Productions for what they have done for Camrose. "It pleases me that the train is being used in this way and I am extremely pleased that you are part of that," said Lindstrand. "That (the request) is a reasonable amount of money for the work you do on our behalf." The motion to provide funding was opposed by Mayor Marshall Chalmers, who said that while AboutTime Productions is

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 Energy East announcement a win for Canada
Premier Alison Redford issued the following statement in response to today’s announcement that TransCanada is proceeding with the Energy East Pipeline Project to Quebec and New Brunswick. “I am very pleased with today’s announcement that Energy East is moving forward. My government made a commitment to the project as part of our efforts to build new markets and get a fairer price for the oil resources Albertans own. This is truly a nation-building project that will diversify our economy and create new jobs here in Alberta and across the country. The partnerships we have seen develop across the country on projects like Energy East, are the clearest examples yet of the Canadian Energy Strategy in action. That’s why I’ve been pushing the strategy – to spur cooperation between the provinces in getting Canada’s energy onto international markets, to get fairer prices and in turn be able to provide the high quality of living Albertans, and Canadians, deserve. Building new markets is a key part of our government's Building Alberta Plan. At last week’s Council of the Federation meeting we reached consensus on a Canadian Energy Strategy and agreed on ten action areas for moving the strategy forward. I'm proud of what we have achieved so far and I will continue working with other Premiers to build new energy export markets. All Canadians benefit from a strong energy economy, and we are stronger working together.” As the MLA for Battle River - Wainwright, I am always available to assist constituents. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Energy East Pipeline Project, the Premier’s Council on the Status of Persons with Disabilities Awards or any other matter, I can be reached in my constituency office at 780842-6177. Also, please subscribe to my e‑newsletter at http://Griffiths.mypcmla. ca/.e‑newsletter at http:// Griffiths.mypcmla.ca/.

BRCF grant helps St. Mary's The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $2,597 to St. Mary’s Hospital. The grant is income from the Norma Branes Fund, the Bowthorpe Family Memorial Fund, the Gordon and Eileen Hay Fund, the Kurt and Helen Pilger Fund and the Si and Lucille Siwak Fund. This grant will be used to purchase a pressure release mattress for patients in the palliative care unit of St. Mary’s Hospital in Camrose.

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 began 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. For more information please visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca.

City of Camrose Requires All Homes Be Built like Shoes! All children like nursery rhymes, so to appeal to young families with children the City of Camrose is amending its Land Use Bylaw to require all new homes to be built like shoes!
What Is A Land Use Bylaw? A Land Use Bylaw is a document that outlines the location and standards for all forms of development within the City of Camrose. This document will provide the location for all future commercial, industrial and residential development while establishing the standards that govern how it must look and where features such as parking, landscaping and signage must be located.
Why Should I Get Involved? In building on the previously prepared Community Sustainability Plan, Municipal Development Plan and Downtown Action Plan, the City is reviewing the Land Use Bylaw to help achieve the overall vision for the community. This document will not only impact what is permitted on your individual property but could change what is or is not permitted on nearby properties. Overall this document will help shape the appearance and manage potential growth of Camrose in the years to come.
How Do I Get Involved? 1) Public Drop-In Centre - August 14, 2013 10:00 am - 8:00 pm - Location: Bill Fowler Centre, 5402-48 Avenue, Camrose, Alberta
www.marvelbuilding.com
2) Booth at Annual Battle River Watershed Festival - August 24, 2013 10:00 am - 3:00 pm - Location: Stoney Creek Centre, 5320-40 Avenue, Camrose, Alberta
Okay....not really, but we would really like your input.
3) Facebook (www.facebook.com/CityOfCamrose)
While this does not make that much sense, a Land Use Bylaw is a very powerful document that could technically require such a thing.
