Each Tuesday and Thursday evening, volunteers Tom Chelmick, Allister MacMillan and Brian Lewis are passionate about the opportunity to give rides to local children and tourists. They take turns serving as engineer and conductor as the little train winds its way through the paved trails starting from the Bill Fowler Centre. To date this summer, despite numerous weather-related shutdowns and a few cancellations, seven season passes and 3,346 individual excursion tickets have been sold for the popular train ride. In addition, the dedicated volunteer group, thanks to business sponsors, has taken the train to parades and other events to destinations including St. Albert, Ryley, Ponoka, Andrew, Macklin, Bruderheim and Capital Ex in Edmonton. The Camrose Mirror Lake Express even earned first place honors for its To Rural Homes appearance at the Andrew and Edmonton parades, and second place in Leduc. It was an With Booster equal crowd favourite at the Big Valley Jamboree parade right here at home.

On September 1, as evenings get shorter, Camrose Chamber of Commerce will “derail” the train after a season of making friends and memories. This means there are just six more opportunities in 2012 to experience the beautiful Mirror Lake trail system as never before.

The Chamber thanks the many volunteers who help to bring smiles to so many faces.

CAMROSE DENTURE CLINIC 4867-51 Street, Camrose

By Cody Sroka, Association For

Life-wide Living (ALL) of Alberta The Association For Lifewide Living (ALL) of Alberta has completed Phase 1 of the Rural Transportation Project, which has been conducted in communities along Highway 21 between Bashaw and Camrose.

To celebrate, we are hosting a Battle River Tour to present our research findings. People in the participating communities are eager to host project visitors and will contribute to the report.

Our tour will also illustrate the beauty and diversity of the region in which we live.

Getting to know our rural neighbours has been a project theme. Everyone who is interested in rural transportation is welcome to join us on Thursday, August 16, for an enjoyable and educational experience. Here is the tour itinerary.

From 9 to 10 a.m. the bus tour begins at the Bashaw Valley Lodge, 5430-51A Street with coffee and initial presentation of the research for Bashaw and surrounding area.

Then from 10 to 11 a.m. trav-

el to Edberg for coffee and presentation in Edberg at Seniors’ Drop-in Centre (Main Street).

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. we travel to Ferintosh Hotel for lunch and presentation. Lunch to pay.

The from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. we stop at the United Church in New Norway for coffee and presentation of findings for the community.

The final stop from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. we go to the historic St. Thomas Church near Duhamel for a wrap-up and interpretive presentation about this remarkable landmark in the Battle River country.

After, 3:30 to 4 p.m., the bus returns to Bashaw. Individual drivers depart from the group at this time.

ALL expresses appreciation to the wonderful input from community members and project participants from the communities concerned. A great deal has been learned about the rural transportation situation – as well as a lot of very interesting things about the communities and the people who live in them. Participation in the Rural Alberta Health Planning Process spon-

sored by Alberta Health Services (Bashaw, Camrose, Daysland) was also helpful in getting to understand health needs in our region.

ALL also acknowledges the project support received from a host of other organizations including Alberta Rural Development Network, Bashaw and District Health and Wellness Foundation, Bashaw Bus Society, Camrose County, Camrose Thrift Shop, Edberg Drop-in Centre, Ferintosh High-U Centre, New Norway, Edmonton Transit System, Hardisty Town and Station, STEP Program Province of Alberta and Wetaskiwin Transit.

Plans are underway with Alberta Rural Development Network for subsequent phases of this project, starting with Phase 2, which will add communities along Highway 13 in the planning process.

For more information about this exciting event, contact Cody Sroka, creativity intern, Association for Life-wide Living of Alberta at email battlerivercountry@ gmail.com or phone 780-6088183.

The CAMROSE BOOSTER August 14, 2012

Kenny proof that miracles do happen

By Dan Jensen

Marg Kenny is able to hold her grandchild and enjoy beautiful prairie sunsets thanks to STARS. "I thank God and all the men and women who were instrumental in saving my life," said Kenny in a presentation at City council's Aug. 7 committee of the whole meeting.

"I am proof that miracles do happen."

Kenny had her STARS experience Jan. 7, 2010, when she was visiting the site where she and her husband of now 40 years were building a house on the banks of the Battle River, near Camrose. As she was leaving to go back to Edmonton, her truck somehow started to roll backwards and plummeted into a valley 200 feet below.

"I have no memory of this horrific accident," said Kenny. "I apparently found my cell phone and pushed the redial button, which just happens to be my husband's office in Edmonton. I told him I didn't know where I was and that there was blood and that the truck had rolled over."

Kenny's husband quickly relayed the message to the homebuilder, Mark, who thought he might be able to find Marg somewhere along Highway 13, near the Gwynne Valley. Just as he was getting ready to drive there he heard the barking of dogs, who were able to lead him to the mangled vehicle.

"It was minus 17째C, the wind was howling, and the snow in the valley was up to chest level," said Kenny.

A call to 9-1-1 resulted in the immediate dispatch of STARS, as well as the Camrose RCMP detachment, Camrose EMS and Camrose Fire Department, who stomped down the snow to create a landing area.

"STARS landed about fifty metres from the truck," said Kenny. "The Jaws of Life were used to open the cab and free me, and an EMS paramedic used her body heat to keep me from freezing."

Kenny was flown to the University of Alberta Hospital where she was diagnosed has having a broken neck, fractured in six places, an unstable C2 vertebrae, a fractured back, six fractured ribs, a fractured sternum (close to the heart), a blown out left knee, a smashed ankle, and many bruises. A week later she underwent reconstruction survey for the knee and the ankle.

STARS busy responding to Camrose calls

By Dan Jensen

STARS helicopters have been called to Camrose 10 times this year and 48 times in the last 19 months.

"They have been both interfacility transfer and on-scene calls," explained Jane Styles, manager, major gifts, Alberta Shock Trauma Air Rescue Service (STARS) Foundation, in a presentation at City council's committee of the whole meeting Aug. 7.

The STARS Foundation has five BK 117 helicopters, each with a flight radius of 250 km, that serve 94 per cent of Alberta's population from bases in Calgary, Edmonton and Grande Prairie.

"We are dedicated to providing a safe, rapid, highly specialized emergency medical transport system for the critically ill and injured," said Styles. "The time from the first call to being airborne is 8 to 10 minutes."

Inter-facility calls account for 64 per cent of all the STARS missions. Of the scene calls, 44 per cent are for motor vehicle collisions, 25 per cent are for medical (cardiac, pulmonary), 11 per cent are for incidents that are related to recreation (ATVs, hiking, horses, skiing), seven per cent are for trauma (falls, drownings), eight per cent are for other (burns, assaults, gun shot wounds), and seven per cent are for trauma (falls, drownings, train and plane accidents). Three per cent of the calls are industrial related and two per cent have to do with agriculture operations.

STARS has flown 23,000 missions since 1985, with 356 of those being in Camrose County.

The number of missions to the city of Camrose since 2004 is 179.

"We are committed to being there when people need us," said Styles.

STARS will be taking delivery of a new $19 million AW139 helicopter at its Edmonton base at the end of this month.

"It will be 25 per cent faster and will be able to cover a greater service area," said Styles.

In addition to providing

STARS has flown 48 missions to Camrose in the last 19 months.

emergency service, the STARS Foundation operates a safety centre which provides training in landing zone and technical search and rescue, and an outreach program that provides a forum for the exchange of information between STARS and other organizations it serves, including fire, learning practitioner nurses, physicians, emergency medical service, industry, police, registered nurses and students.

"We have had people come on many occasions to take advantage of the programs and training we offer," said Styles.

The Foundation also offers a critical care and transport medicine care academy to prepare nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and physicians for a career in transport medicine or enhance their knowledge of critical care.

"It is the only one of its kind in North America," said Styles. "It is a 15-week on-line course so the professionals who are taking it can stay in their own community and work. We have been receiving requests for information on the program from all over the world."

The STARS Emergency Link Centre links emergency services, emergency physicians and appropriate transportation providers into one conversation. The centre allows transport decisions to be made early, improves physician to physician consultation and decision making, and ensures the continuation of dedicated, consistent, timesensitive resources for rural patients.

STARS receives 25 per cent of its funding from the Alberta government and 75 per cent

from associations, corporations, individuals and municipalities.

The provincial government has pledged to provide 10 million to STARS over the next ten years but as of yet, no contract has been signed and no perimeters have been set.

"Even with the increased funding we will still count heavily on donations," said Styles.

"We don't want to be fully funded by the government because that would restrict what we are able to do and the services we are able to provide."

Councillor John Howard said STARS is an essential service for which the provincial government needs to assume more responsibility financially.

The annual cost of delivering the STARS program to Albertans is approximately $30 million.

Jackson, Antebellum part of Big Valley in 2013

By Murray Green

Prior to the main stage appearance of Rascal Flatts at the Big Valley Jamboree to close out the outdoor music festival's 20th anniversary, organizers unveiled two major artists that will be part of the August 1 to 4, 2013, line-up.

Ten years after making his first appearance in 2003, Alan Jackson has been confirmed to play on Friday, August 2.

Alan is known for blending traditional honky-tonk and mainstream country sounds and penning many of his own hits. He has recorded 13 studio albums, three greatest hits albums, two holiday albums, a gospel album and several compilations. More than 50 of his singles have appeared on Billboard's list of the top 30 country songs. Of Jackson's entries, 35 were number one

Alan Jackson

hits. Alan is the recipient of two Grammys, 16 CMA Awards, 17 ACM Awards and nominee of multiple other awards. He is also a member of the Grand Ole Opry, and he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 2001.

Making their first appearance at BVJ on Sunday, August 4, will be Lady Antebellum.

Lady Antebellum was awarded top new duo or group by the Academy of Country Music and new artist of the year by the Country Music Association in 2008. The group was nominated for four Grammy Awards. Of these nominations, Lady Antebellum took home the award for best country performance by duo or group with vocals for "I Run to You." The group was also awarded top vocal group, song of the year ("Need You Now"), and single of the year ("Need You Now") at the 44th ACM Awards.

The group won five more awards at the 53rd Grammy Awards, including song of the year and record of the year for

"Need You Now". Lady Antebellum was also awarded the best country album award at the 54th Grammy Awards.

"These are two strong acts that I hope the people will like, but we still have 16 more to go (on the main stage). We are now heading into the time of year where we are booking for next year," said BVJ producer Larry Werner. The kickoff party will have about four bands as well.

The 2012 edition of the Big Valley Jamboree set a record as having the largest attendance in 20 years with crowds reaching close to 90,000 people over the weekend.

Tickets for the 2013 Big Valley Jamboree have already gone on sale. Details are available at www.BigValleyJamboree.com or call 888-404-1234.

Kenny's stars were aligned on a cold day in January, 2011 Continued from page 4

"Miraculously I had no internal bleeding, no brain damage and no spinal cord damage," said Kenny. "This alone is a testimony of the men and women of Camrose and STARS who, with God's help, performed the most outstanding, highly skilled, high performance rescue."

After three months in the hospital Kenny was discharged in a wheelchair, a clamshell, a neck brace and a leg brace. She credits the unconditional love and support of her husband, her four children and their families, dear friends, and the power of prayer for keeping her going.

Councillor Brandon Blatz said he visited the site the day after the accident happened and couldn't believe that anyone could have survived such a fall.

"Hauling her up the cliff would have been almost impossible."

Kenny said people who support STARS are making miracles like hers possible.

"When you see STARS up in the sky realize there is a critical person in there and there is hope that they can have a second chance at life. A life to love again, like me."

Tourism Camrose and City Center Camrose representatives shared a few of their concerns and marketing strategies with Camrose City council Aug. 7.

Tourism Camrose coordinator Hazel Cail said one of the issues that needs to be addressed through city bylaw or policy is the practice some businesses have of putting brown paper in the windows when they close.

"Somewhere we need a little help in taking a little bit of a hammer or a persuasion tool to the business owners to get them to make improvements on their storefronts," said Cail.

Cail also talked about efforts that are being made by Tourism Camrose to introduce tourism training courses in the high school.

"Tourism is an important industry and it could provide career opportunities for young people," she said.

Tourism Camrose member Audrey Pfannmuller said one of the problems facing City Center Camrose is a lack of funding to do everything it wants to get done, whether it is replacing broken garbage cans or installing more street signs that define its boundaries.

"We don't have a great budget and, unfortunately, over the years, that budget hasn't grown enough to allow anything big to be done.

"We certainly have to look at what tourism dollars are available."

Pfannmuller said it is hard

to get some of the individual business owners downtown to make improvements to their businesses.

"Everyone is feeling the crunch. They don't want to put any money up because they can't visualize the difference it will make."

Pfannmuller said City Center Camrose has hired people to put together a concept for the marketing and branding of downtown.

"We are looking at branding an uptown Camrose. It is on a hill, it is uptown and it is in living colour. Everything we do in this particular area we do together."

Pfannmuller suggested events like a farmers' market could help draw people into the downtown area and make it a getaway destination like Canmore is for Calgary.

Councillor John Howard said he plans to raise at budget time the issue of City Center Camrose funding and the things that the City of Camrose can do to enhance the work City Center is doing.

"The fact that they can't put money into an account and build it up over time raises some issues. I am increasingly convinced that we are giving them a shoe string and asking them to build a shoe factory.

We can have all the ideas in the world but if you don't have the money to make those ideas come to fruition nothing happens but a lot of frustration."

Councillor Brandon Blatz

said while he would be open to hearing a big requisition from City Center Camrose it is important that council be careful and not put too much of the cost of improvements onto the backs of taxpayers.

Councillor Gerry Galenza said City Center could explore things like farmers' markets, more sidewalk cafes and food trucks, which the City of Calgary is limiting during certain times, as a way of drawing more people downtown.

"Canmore has a lot of sidewalk cafes and somehow we are missing out on that."

Galenza sympathized with City Center members over the difficulties they are having in getting downtown businesses to work together, saying that as a former business owner he experienced the same kind of frustrations.

Pfannmuller said that a lot of businesses don't see the advantages of staying open at night when there is an event at the Bailey Theatre.

"A lot of the business owners can't do it because they are only one person."

Cail told council Tourism Camrose was able to gain 20 new members this year after developing a brochure promoting the city's niche stores, particularly those downtown. She added that she takes coupons to trade shows in the spring which allows businesses here to track the different areas of the province from which their customers are coming.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $4,000 to the Camrose Boys and Girls Club.

The grant was funded by the Battle River Community Foundation's Community Fund, the Camrose Boys and Girls Club Endowment Fund, and flowthrough donations from various donors.

The Camrose Boys and Girls Club began as a vision by a group of enthusiastic, community-oriented individuals to form a steering committee to develop a Boys and Girls centre in 1989.

"The Club's mission is to provide a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence, leadership and skills for life," said Boys and Girls Club executive director Rees James.

"We are here for children and youth."

The Boys and Girls Club operates an after-school Kidway Program for kids ages six to 12 which offers a variety of funrelated activities at the Community Centre.

"We offer everything from pickup service, theme parties, sports, crafts, outside fun and even help with homework, but no videos or games are allowed," said James.

The Keystone Program for teens provides Keystone leader-

ship training, jamming, music, dancing, fund-raising and community volunteering.

"To make a better community one has to give back to the community," said James. "Many of the teens that are part of this program volunteer in many areas. Some Keystone teens are used to mentor Kidway children with good positive success."

The goal of the Kidway and Keystone programs is to promote and enforce positive behaviour.

The Boys and Girls Club also provides weekly summer programs with many indoor and outdoor summer activities, and an athlete mentoring program, in which youth ages eight to 15 are matched and mentored by basketball and volleyball athletes from the University of Alberta.

Since its founding in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1.4 million to various projects and initiatives.

Time to review rules: Back to school safety Canada Safety Council

It’s that time of year again – back to school time. Canada Safety Council would like to remind parents and guardians to teach children about safe travel to and from school. Take the time to know the rules and educate children about safe conduct when using and sharing roadways, whether it be by school bus, car, bicycle or by foot.

School Bus Travel

We look forward to seeing you…

Research conducted by Transport Canada shows that school bus travel is one of the safest methods of transportation.

It is 16 times safer than travelling in a family car per passenger/kilometre of travel. Although school buses have an excellent safety record, mishaps can happen. These mishaps can include instances where children are injured while riding on the bus.

It is more common however, for injuries to be sustained once outside the bus, including being hit by their own school bus or other vehicles.

Every driver must remember that when approaching a stopped school bus (on a non-divided road) that has its overhead red signal-lights flashing and side stop sign out, must stop before reaching the bus and must not proceed until the bus moves or the overhead red signal-lights have stopped flashing.

Here are some safety tips to share with children to ensure safe travel.

Getting to and on the school bus

4979-50 St., CAMROSE

Ph. 780.679.4162

Ohaton playground ready

1. Arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes before the scheduled pick-up time. Children should never run after the school bus to try to catch it. If you miss the bus, go back home or if you are at school, report to a teacher.

2. Stay on the sidewalk, well away from the roadway and stay back until the bus has come to a full stop and the door opens.

3. If your child needs to cross the street, teach him or her to look to the left, then to the right, and to the left once more before crossing the street.

4. Use the handrail when boarding or exiting the bus.

Riding on the school bus

5. Take a seat as quickly as possible, put belongings under the seat and stay seated.

6. Never stick anything out of the window, including arms or heads.

7. Save food for snack time at school or until you get home.

8. Wait until the school bus comes to a complete stop before getting off.

After riding on the school bus

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Ohaton playground construction was completed last month for children in the community to enjoy. The playground upgrades cost about $75,000.

10

9. When getting off the bus: take two large steps away from bus. If you must walk in front of the bus, walk ahead at least three metres (10 giant steps).

10. The driver must be able to see you and will give a signal when it is safe to cross. Cross in a single file.

11. If a child drops something near or under the school bus, they should never attempt

to retrieve it without the driver’s permission.

Travel by Car

Parents and guardians must respect their child’s school safety measures for dropping off and picking up their children at school. Every effort must be made to avoid collision and injury by refraining to create hazardous situations of traffic congestion and unsafe driving practices within the school zone. Respect posted speed limits, and designated drop-off and pick-up areas.

Travel by Bicycle

To ride a bicycle to and from school, children must be mature enough (minimum 9-12 years old), and must have enough experience. The rider should be able to scan ahead and check behind without swerving.

To ensure safe cycling, young cyclists must: • Wear a properly-fitted helmet, and have clothes that are suited for cycling (e.g. their pants tucked in).

• Have their bikes fitted properly and in good working order. The bike should have a regular maintenance check-up and should have a bell. It is also a good idea to have a safety flag.

• Know and obey all traffic rules, signs and signals. They must signal turns and stops.

Ride in a straight line in the same direction as traffic and stop at every stop sign.

• Be predictable to other road users by riding with the traffic usually on the right hand side of the roadway.

• Never ride in the dark. If an older child must ride in the dark, make sure that reflective clothing and night-accessories (e.g. reflectors and lights) are used.

Walking to school

Many children use roadways to make their way to and from school. Parents and guardians must review road safety rules with their children and the importance of not accepting rides or any invitations from strangers. It is best to walk with a buddy and keep focused on getting straight home.

To keep safe on roads, children pedestrians must: • Find a safe and direct route to school with the help of their parents. Hazards should be identified (train tracks, busy intersections, etc.) and a designated route with safety rules should be established.

• Stay on sidewalks whenever possible. If there is no sidewalk, use the left side of the road facing traffic.

• Cross streets only at crosswalks and learn to look to the left, the right and then left again before proceeding, even at intersections with pedestrian walk signs.

• Wait until traffic comes to a stop before crossing. Make sure drivers see you before you cross.

Prevention is the key to safety. With education and awareness, all children should be able to get safely to school and home again. Take the time to share these valuable rules and tips with your children.

Determine if your kids' schedules are over-crowded Today’s kids are busier than ever. Whereas kids used to leave school in mid-afternoon and have their free time to themselves, nowadays kids leave the classroom and head off to any number of extracurricular commitments, such as athletics, music lessons, school clubs, or other activities.

For parents, these busy schedules can understandably be a cause for concern. While it’s healthy for kids to have interests and cultivate those interests, it’s also important for parents to make sure their kids don’t

become overwhelmed by crowded schedules that leave no time to unwind or to simply be a kid.

Gauging whether your child is overscheduled can be as simple as asking yourself two questions and being honest with your answers. First, ask yourself how your child is managing his or her daily schedule, including both school and extracurricular activities. Then ask yourself how much your child actually wants to participate in each activity.

Some children will thrive on busy schedules, while others will grow

overwhelmed, negating the benefits the activities are intended to provide.

Kids often try hard to please their parents, so many will not willingly admit if they’re overwhelmed for fear that they won’t please Mom and Dad. That makes it important for parents to be capable of recognizing possible indicators that kids are too busy. * Homework: Unfinished homework or homework that is routinely completed late at night indicates that kids could be too busy, with not enough time

in their day to complete their assignments, which should be their top priority. * Complaints: Kids who routinely complain about their extracurricular activities could be trying to tell you they’re simply overworked. If a typical drive to soccer practice is chock full of complaints, perhaps it’s time to discuss with your child if he or she really wants to play soccer, or is just doing it to please you. * Meal time: Research has shown that kids benefit from sit-

ting down to family meals with their parents and siblings. However, today’s busy kids might not have time to do so, which could negatively impact their development. If kids are routinely rushing through meals because of other commitments, that could indicate they’re overscheduled. * Sleep: Kids need sleep, but many of today’s overscheduled kids simply aren’t getting enough.

If your child is not getting his or her regular sleep, then an overcrowded commitment schedule could be the culprit.

Tech items every student wants to have There used to be a time when a student could make the grade with a looseleaf binder and a few pens and pencils. Today’s students lean toward a higher-tech arsenal of gadgets to ensure a good grade point average.

Here are some gadgets and gizmos many students prefer that can make school time fun, efficient and downright techy.

1. Digital voice recorders: Students of all ages are recognizing the benefits of recording class lessons for future playback. Recording teachers’ dictation can serve as a backup to handwritten notes, or allow students to transcribe their notes at a later time. It’s also a good way to retrace steps and prepare for midterm or periodic tests that run the gamut of classroom material.

2. Laptop computer: Students are continually understanding the benefits of investing in a laptop computer for school work -- not just for updating MySpace or Facebook posts. They can always have assignments a mouse click away, and are able to easily type notes and start on assignments in free time. For students who ride a bus or train to school, or carpool with friends, make the most of that downtime by organizing files and working on homework. Most laptops come with an array of software that can easily be used for school purposes. For example, use calendar functions to keep track of assignments and other school to-do lists. Manage friends and teacher contact information in your address book, then simply link to your e-mail program for quick notes and assignment questions.

Bookmark teacher assignment Web sites or your school homepage to keep track of the latest news -- right from your Web browser. You can even purchase voice recognition software so you can dictate term papers and other assignments rather than having to type them -ideal if your typing speed needs improvement.

3. Mobile phone: You’d probably be hard-pressed to find a student who didn’t have a mobile phone these days, but there still are the rare students who have managed to survive without one until now. However, as many school districts broadcast emergency news over a phone- or e-mail-based information system, having a cell phone takes on a new security-minded role. While no one wants to think about a potential security threat on campus, the reality is that their prevalence has increased in recent years.

Having a phone close by to receive either a call or an e-mail alert can help save lives.

Katie and Hollie are ready to put their finely-tuned skills and innovative ideas towards creating your fashionable new back-to-school look!

Full-Time Female Staff Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre

…A Special Summer Feature In Camrose and area, a significant number of women hold positions of power and prestige.

Many others own their own small businesses or are key players in their respective companies.

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

Watch for profiles in future issues of The Home Team Paper!

If you would like to be a part of our next women in business issue, please call The Booster, 780.672.3142 and ask for Mike, Jeff, Sue or Ron.

Pat Westergard, Owner Cathel Books Walking into Cathel Books on main street is a book lover’s delight. The charming window display is the first feature to entice you in as it is always festively decorated with theme books of the current season. Once inside, dozens of aisles and thousands of tomes beckon you to browse … and once the perfect book is found, quiet sitting areas are provided to read or to have a cup of coffee or tea.

“Our customers bring books in for sale or trade on a daily basis so we have a large variety to choose from.” says owner Pat Westergard. “We have over 34,000 books in stock and strive to keep the quality like new."

Bright, clean and very organized, the aisles of Cathel Books offer something for everyone. “Our subject matter is for all ages and covers a huge variety of topics,” notes Pat. “Westerns, romance, self help, history, children's and young adults' books or the latest bestsellers are just a sample of what you will find in over 60 different sections in our store.”

Pat and her staff also strive for great customer service. “If there’s something we don’t have, we will try to find it. We keep a list of selections our customers are looking for. It makes my day to find a book on that list."

Another interesting feature of the shop is the basement that was expanded five years ago. What used to be a bowling alley in 1921 is now a unique shopping/reading area.

Pat says Cathel Books has been very well received by the community in the nine years since it opened for business. “We have such a good time with our customers!” smiles Pat. “Camrose and area residents have given us wonderful support and we look forward to serving our customers for years to come.”

Karen McFadyen, Manager Western Financial Group In the centre of Camrose is a little office doing big things. The insurance brokerage, formerly known as Mirror Lake Agencies, became part of Western Financial Group in 2000 and continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

"As Western Canada's largest brokerage, we have offices across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It's nice our clients can come from one of our offices in another province and feel totally at home when they come to us," says Branch Manager Karen McFadyen.

Offering home, auto, travel, tenant, recreational, commercial, liability and even pet insurance, Western has it covered.

"You name it, we insure it. Being a brokerage, we have access to several different insurance companies offering competitive rates for every type of risk out there," adds McFadyen. "Every client has unique needs and our staff can provide a tailored policy to meet those needs. And, as our clients age, those needs change, and we adapt to that. We have excellent communication with our underwriters who are always there guiding us and helping us to provide the best possible outcomes for our clients."

Unique to Western is the Group Insurance Solutions. "They offer only the best in risk management and their consultants help manage our commercial clients, even offering employee benefit packages," says Karen.

The advantage of insuring with Western is its flexibility. And flexibility with payments is a win-win situation for everyone. "We have our own in-house financing. We can finance any type of policy and allow the client to dictate the payment dates and have the ability to change them as the client sees fit."

The excellent service, coupled with knowledgeable staff, ensures that clients walk out feeling secure and protected. "We are often referred by our clients, and it's a good feeling to know we are keeping our existing clients as well as reaching out and welcoming new ones."

The sheer quantity of dedicated female employees, many who are in key positions of responsibility at Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre, almost makes it unfair to single out any one or two for profiling in this special feature.

However, two ladies from our store deserve to be recognized as women critical to our business success.

We hope you enjoy learning about Patti Zunti's and Vikki Stang's important roles in our retail centre. Each is indicative of the quality of our overall staff: dedicated, learned, responsible and customer-focused. All have played individual roles as women in business helping us succeed. All are uniquely responsible for making Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre the franchise's "Store of the Year" for 2012.

Patti Zunti Kitchen Design Patti Zunti is a dedicated wife, mother and a grandmother. She has a degree in Fine Arts from the College of Art and Design. And, she’s an invaluable asset to the Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre cabinet design and sales centre.

Patti has keen eye for decorating and an exceptional flair for design. Coupled with an abundance of practical common sense, Patti has a recognized reputation for excellence and professionalism in guiding builders, renovators and homeowners to make perfect decisions regarding new vanities, bar cabinets and kitchen cabinets.

When posed the question, “What makes your service so in demand compared to the competition?”, her answer is straightforward and simple, but delivered without a hint of ego or boasting: “I make darn sure customers are completely thrilled before the job is considered complete. Even if it’s as simple as a sticking drawer, it’s my responsibility to guarantee we make it right!” It’s this mindset and methodology which has resulted in referral business from clients in Edmonton, Red Deer, Pigeon Lake, Rimbey, Provost and countless other locations.

Patti’s work with clients often stretches beyond cabinets. She is frequently called upon by her cabinet clientelle to help make a decision on flooring, paint or moldings or other finishing materials which will complement a job in progress. “It’s just part of pleasing the customers who count on us,” notes Patti. "It’s also fun!”

Lots of businesses sell cabinets. There’s even a chance you might be able to pay slightly less money. The chances aren’t good, however, that you will work with someone as efficient and as accommodating as Patti Zunti. For product that is great-looking, functional and affordable, you’re going to have a great project partner when you choose Patti Zunti from Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre.

Vikki Stang Department Manager – Hardware In business, the talent and experience of some people is near impossible to beat – even duplicate. Such is the case of Vikki Stang, who has over 32 years’ experience in the hardware/lumber retail industry. Prior to moving to Camrose, she began her career with Beaver Lumber in Provost. After the move, she expanded her experience with Beaver Lumber for several years.

Vikki, who has worked in the trade in Camrose for a quarter century, has a workload that realistically can’t be described on a business card. She works with the sales staff at the contractors' order desk to bring in all the speciality products necessary for homes or other projects underway. She orders product and oversees the store’s lighting department. Vikki works with the store's wide variety of vendors to source and bring in speciality hardware and related merchandise. And, when merchandise gets returned due to defects or damage, it is often Vikki who looks after returning that product to the manufacturer or distributor.

At least one other task is delegated to this loyal staff member – coordinating the Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre flyer program, making sure the store's print marketing material reaches consumers in the specific geographic area the store is most likely to serve.

And, if this isn’t enough of a workload, add in one more unofficial duty that commonly winds up on Vikki’s plate – store promotions. Because of her knack for detail, many of the store’s interesting and memorable promotions have a history of success thanks to her ability and commitment. Bowl for the Green at Jaywalkers' Jamboree, Christmas Extravaganza, Contractors' Open House and the recent Tractor Canada event were all bigger and better due to Vikki’s involvement in the planning.

So, with this many years of service, can retirement be far off ? Luckily for the store, there is no magic date circled on Vikki’s calendar. “Four days per week ... someday maybe.”

Dear Editor: I have read and re-read the article "Explaining Authentic Assessment of Camrose and area Schools" in a local paper.

I really don't understand why this process for assessment is being introduced in our schools.

I have requested from the Battle River School Division office copies of studies and research that have convinced our school board and administrators to abandon traditional methods of assessment and embark on authentic assessment. I have not seen report cards from local schools but I have seen report cards of grandchildren who completed Junior High in a school from another jurisdiction in Alberta.

It was absolutely impossible to determine how these students were progressing. There were no marks or grades – just a bunch of platitude comments.

Students were given no homework nor out of school assignments throughout the school year. There were no final exams! How does that prepare a student for post secondary education. I'm sure they are going to require grades for entrance into these institutions or to apply for scholarships.

I would encourage parents to ask why this method of assessment is being used as well as explaining the whole process.

Talk to the principals, school board members and superintendents. Do not ask questions of the teachers because if they give honest answers their jobs may be in jeopardy. It may be time to contact the Department of Education to determine if this is a provincial initiative.

The students of Battle River School Division do not need to be guinea pigs in this whole process.

The Camrose Bank of Montreal will be holding a barbecue in its back (north) parking lot from 11 to 2 this Thursday to support the Service Options for Seniors program.

"We decided as a staff that SOS is a great program and one to which we can refer some of our clients," said Bank of Montreal Camrose branch manager Cathy Schwab.

The Camrose Bank of Montreal has been conducting charity events for the last 15 years.

"We like to support local charities that support not only our customers but the community in which we work," said Bank of Montreal staff member Nicole Hanson. "To us, events like these are the best way to provide a direct support to the people that we see every day."

Established in 2003, the Service Options for Seniors Program offers information and advocacy to seniors, handicapped, individuals with literacy barriers, low income persons, and their families on accessing needed programs, services and supports locally, provincially and federally.

"We have about 3,000 people who come through our door for various reasons every year, with 600 of those coming for help with their income tax," said SOS program executive director Donna Coombs. "When I started here that number was 540 a year."

Coombs said that as far as she knows, the SOS program is the only one of its kind in Alberta.

"Because we are non-profit and not a government agency, we can assist with federal programs, provincial programs and munici-

pal programs. We are not tied to a certain one."

Coombs talks to several seniors' organizations on the services offered by SOS, as well as the steps they can take to avoid becoming a victim of fraud.

"I show a DVD that was put out by the Alberta Council on Aging in which a retired police officer talks about Power of Attorney theft, identity theft, home improvement frauds, internet theft and telemarketing," she said. "I stop the video between the different sections so that people can ask any questions they might have."

SOS also sponsors twice a year community information sessions in which it brings in guests to the Royal Canadian Legion to talk about various issues facing seniors. Presenters this past year included Jim Darwish, from the Elder Advocates of Alberta, who addressed the increasing cost of long term care, and Dr. Val Smith, who spoke about the work she does with people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and dementia. The next presentation will be in January, 2013, by two doctors from Edmonton, who will talk about macular degeneration.

Coombs is happy with the feedback she has received on the SOS program over the years.

"A lot of people tell me they don't know where they would be if they hadn't come to SOS and that the program has helped to take the weight of the world off their shoulders. I estimate there are only five per cent of the people who walk through the doors that the program hasn't been able to help."

Learn and grow with 4-H 4-H clubs are great places for youth to learn and grow.

In 4-H, youth run the show.

4-H clubs typically meet once a month as a large group, where youth of all ages take on different leadership roles to make decisions and plan events. Clubs organize fun outings, achievement days and fundraisers, and participate in various activities within their communities.

Fun and Friends Hanging out with friends and participating in fun activities is the perfect combination. By following the 4-H motto "Learn to do by Doing", you'll not only make longlasting friendships, but also take part in activities that meet your interests, increase your knowledge and develop your life skills.

Family When everyone is busy, it just makes sense to belong to an organization that brings the whole family together. 4-H clubs rely on family support and volunteer leadership from each adult and 4-H member – that's how we make things happen. Youth and adults are all a part of the 4-H family.

Personal Development We've watched hands-on learning change people's lives.

With 4-H experience under your belt, you'll excel in the areas of leadership and teamwork. We'll even teach you how to talk in front of a group (we're famous for it). So expand your skills through 4-H, and just imagine where they may take you.

Projects and Programs Whether you enjoy displaying your projects, judging or taking part in the more traditional summer camp experience of canoeing and campfires, one of Alberta 4-H's many programs are sure to interest you. Build life long friendships with people from all over the province and develop valuable life skills. Programs are designed for every age and personality type, so they are sure to excite you.

Joining 4-H With more than 400 established clubs across the province, you can be part of 4-H wherever you live. Members are between the ages of 9 and 20, and leaders must be 18 or older.

Sons of Norway members Lyle and Hazel Erga and Lloyd Reed (right).

By Dan Jensen

Regular meetings of the Sons of Norway Ronning Lodge 504 will resume Sept. 26.

Sons of Norway Ronning Lodge has 25 members who are committed to preserving and strengthening the area's Scandinavian culture.

"We're proud to be of Scandinavian extraction and we want to celebrate it," said Lodge member Lyle Erga.

Scandinavian settlers played a large part in the settlement of Camrose and area. The Lundemo post office and store near Miquelon Lake was one of the first east of Wetaskiwin.

"The settlers would bring their supplies to the store for shipment to Wetaskiwin and would pick up the mail that had come through," said Erga.

Sons of Norway Ronning Lodge meets in the homes of members the fourth Wednesday of every month, starting at 7 p.m.

"The meetings used to be held at the Camrose police station but we found the homes provided a better, more friendly

atmosphere," said Ronning Lodge president Lloyd Reed.

One of the regular presenters at Lodge meetings is Ingrid Urberg, who teaches Scandinavian Studies at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta.

"She showed a film and gave a report in May of this year on the forming of the Norwegian constitution," said member Lyle Erga. "She has also talked to us about Chester Ronning, the former Camrose Lutheran College president who was a worldrenowned diplomat."

The Sons of Norway Ronning Lodge is an affiliate of the American Sons of Norway organization.

"We are down in numbers from what we used to be but we realize that parents are very busy these days taking their kids to the various sporting events," said Reed.

"We would like to get the numbers back up again."

Sons of Norway Ronning Lodge help in the community in whatever volunteer capacity they can, whether it be with their

churches or organizations like Neighbor Aid. "We have a few members, like Bernie Rostaing, who drive people to Edmonton when they have medical appointments," said Erga.

The Sons of Norway Ronning Lodge supports a summer culture camp at Ferintosh, as well as a scholarship for deserving students – usually those whose parents have a Sons of Norway affiliation.

"Our latest scholarship recipient was a student from Edmonton who was studying in Sweden," said Erga.

Sons of Norway was organized as a fraternal benefit society by 18 Norwegian immigrants in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 16, 1895, to protect members of Sons of Norway and their families from the financial hardships experienced during times of sickness or death in the family. Sons of Norway is now the largest Norwegian organization outside Norway with 61,756 members, including 2,754 in Canada.

Buffaloes' football program prepares for fall season

By Murray Green

The Camrose Buffaloes' football program will be operating teams in the atom, peewee and bantam age divisions this fall.

The teams are currently running training camps to prepare for the Capital District Minor Football Association tiering weekend on Aug. 18.

The Rose City Football Association, which operates the Buffaloes, is heading into its ninth season of peewee football, eighth year for the atoms and fourth year for bantam football.

"The success of our program lies with the network of devoted parents and volunteers, and the board of directors. We also acknowledge the help and direction provided to our association by the members and the board of CDMFA," said president Tyson

Sikstrom. "A special thanks goes out to our coaches who devote countless hours to the preparation of the players."

The teams are good ambassadors for communities such as the City of Camrose, Bawlf, Gwynne, Hay Lakes, Killam, Viking, Ryley, New Norway, Round Hill and Armena. "The spirit of camaraderie that has engulfed our teams is refreshing and honest. This coming together of our communities has and will continue to be to the benefit of our youth," said Tyson.

"We had a record number of participants in this year's spring camp. The feedback from parents and coaches was great."

Football is open to all boys and girls at all levels and there are no weight/size restrictions.

Atoms must be between the

ages of seven and 10 within the calendar year. Peewee players are between 10 and 12 years within the calendar year. Bantams are 13 to 15 years old, but cannot be entering high school within the calendar year.

A nine-game regular season begins in late August and goes until mid October, followed by league playoffs.

League championships for peewees and bantams progress to provincial semifinals and championships in November. All teams play some home and away games during the season.

It is not too late to register for football. Forms can be found at www.buffalofootball.ca/registration/forms or contact Tyson at 780-672-3969 for more information.

Our philosophy is learning through play.

Alphabet and number skills are incorporated into all our activities. Our 3-year-old classes help prepare the children socially for a more formalized classroom setting and our 4-year-old classes develop kindergarten readiness skills.

See you then!

Cam Roses having fun and providing support The Red Hat Society has become a 'for-profit society' family business based in Fullerton, California while the Crown Jewels of Canada Society is a registered non-profit organization based in Kelowna, B.C. and as such the Cam Roses have changed over to the Canadian organization.

We are still holding the name of our chapter as Cam Roses.

We have added the color white to our ensembles. The colors, red and white represent our flag and the color purple represents our Queen or Royalty. We may wear colors in any context we wish. Other than that, we are just the same old girls having some fun and supporting each other in times of need.

We are a sisterhood and we do support our community. We go to teas, dinners, theatres, horse races and love to explore the small towns in our province. Some of our members are great volunteers and are just a great group of ladies who love each others' company. We hold a garden party every September and always have about 280 ladies here from all over Alberta.

We are already sold out for this year but there's always next year!

Come and join us for coffee some time and see what we're all about. We meet the first Tuesday of each month at Mirror Lake Centre (Senior Centre) in the board room at 9:30 a.m. If you are not on our mailing list and would like to be you may contact Marlene Carlson at 780-672-3513 or (cell) 780-608-8003.

The fun event begins at 4:30 and goes until 7 p.m. in the parking lot in front of the EnCana Arena, with children's games and a tail-gate barbecue. The carnival will even include bears and horses. Camrose will face the Calgary Mustangs on Friday at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Kodiaks host the Grande Prairie Storm. Children who attend elementary schools in Camrose will be allowed in at no charge for both games.

Games at the carnival may include bean bag toss, face painting, chalk colouring, pie toss, bounce house, baseball toss, hockey shooting, ice cream making, cotton candy making, basketball shooting and even an eating competition. The old-fashioned nickel carnival will ensure that your $1 will go a long way.

The Camrose Kodiaks will also officially open the Alberta Junior Hockey League's 49th regular season on September 7.

A complete league schedule is now available on the AJHL website www.AJHL.ca. The schedule can be exported directly to digital calendars and mobile devices through the schedule page.

Central Agencies Home of the Week

Enjoy this impressive Valleyview home

Darrell Rosland

By Murray Green

This totally finished former show home is an attractive family bungalow in Valleyview. All you have to do is move in and enjoy the extras this home offers.

The 1,427 square foot home makes a great first impression with its vinyl maintenance-free siding, easy-access front garage and large secured backyard.

Step in to a generously-sized foyer with easy-to-clean tiled floor. A large laundry room with plenty of cabinets and sink bridges the garage to the house. To the right of the foyer is a den or office with a vaulted ceiling and a bright large window overlooking the front yard.

Beautiful hardwood is featured throughout the main floor, which has a clean open design.

Attractive top of the line maple tuscan kitchen cabinets with a mocha glaze, and a handy work and breakfast island will make this mom's favourite room. It has a granite sink that resists scratching, a corner pantry and soft pocket lighting in the ceiling.

The formal living room with a gas fireplace can accommodate comfortable seating for family and friends.

A door from the dining area leads onto a maintenance free deck to enjoy warm summer evenings. Energy-efficient triple glazed low E windows keep the home cool in the summer and warm in the colder months. At each window there are custom made blinds.

The master bedroom features a large walk-in closet, as well as a four-piece ensuite with a jet tub. The secondary bedroom has a huge closet, while the main four-piece bathroom has a large vanity and mirror.

The fully professionally finished lower level contains a gorgeous carpeted family and recreation room with hot water in-floor heating and nine-foot ceilings.

Also on the lower level are two large bedrooms, and a four-piece bathroom. It also has a furnace room with a storage area.

The large double garage has in-floor heating, hot and cold

water taps and a floor drain.

A side concrete pad is ideal for recreational vehicle parking. The modern water heating system ensures you will not run out of hot water. This home is energy efficient and has a maintenancefree exterior.

An automatic sprinkler system in the front and back yards means you will never have to worry about watering the lawn.

The backyard also has a 12' by 16' shed with a roll-up door, which is handy for dad's toys, such as an ATV. Privacy slats are found in the maintenance-free chain link fencing in the backyard.

An open house at this beautiful property at 5512-28 Avenue will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. on Thursday, August 16. It is attrac-

tively priced to sell at $439,900.

If you miss the open house, for a personal tour contact Darrell Rosland at: Central Agencies Inc. 4870-51 Street, Camrose 780-672-4495 or 780-679-2170 cell

Children's Gala held at casino

By Murray Green

Murray Green, Camrose Booster A boy and girl will be the lucky winners in the Prince and Princess For A Day Giveaway. The prize package fit for royalty is valued at just under $1,500. From left to right, Ingrid Anderson shows gala organizer Kjeryn Davis (seated) a hair design, Tish Olson of Tish's Fashions will supply the dresses, Canadian Tire general manager Todd Cochrane will fan out store money to the winners, Camrose Resort and Casino manager Dawn Anderson will provide a room, Cloud 9 Day Spas owner Chris Dietz will attend to nails and VIP Limo and Bus president Adam Kuntz will provide the transportation. Other prizes include men's clothing from Sure Exposure, hair styling from the House of Hair Design and tickets to the event. This premiere event will take place in Camrose on Saturday, September 15, at the Camrose Resort and Casino ballroom.

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

A Children’s Gala premiere event will be held on Saturday, September 15, in the casino ballroom with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. "This evening of fun will be an opportunity to create an unforgettable experience for each child as they will be our VIP guests," said Kjeryn Davis of the Hospice Society of Camrose. "The evening’s activities will include a silent auction, a four-course plated dinner and a magic show. There will also be cupcakes, spray-on tattoos, a manicure station, sports activities and a dance to follow the dinner. Throughout the evening, there will be a Spin to Win wheel and participants can win movie or swim passes. We will also be crowning a prince and princess of the gala."

Lucky winners of a mom and princess of the day contest will receive a limo ride, a hotel room, $100 to go towards dresses, a shopping spree, and a hair and nails session. "You can enter at Sure Exposure, Cloud 9 Day Spas, House of Hair Design, Tish's or on line at CAM-FM. The contest closes Sunday, September 9, at 1 p.m. We will announce the winner on the radio at 7:20 p.m. and call the lucky prince and princess," said Kjeryn.

The gala will begin with a four-course meal with a magician entertaining at tables during dinner, and they will present a full show following the meal. "We have had this cost covered by the Camrose Canadian, Timberline Roofing, Peavey Mart and Cargill.

Dr. Jordan Cahoon has generously agreed to sponsor two caricature artists who will be there for free throughout the evening doing caricatures of the families."

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

The Prince and Princess For A Day Giveaway contest will give one lucky boy and one lucky girl a prize package fit for royalty. Not only will the prince and princess win, but their adult escort will also win. The prize package is valued at just under $1,500. Proceeds from the event will be going to the Hospice Society of Camrose.

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

Tish has very generously decided to give a discount of 20 per cent to anyone who makes purchases for this event from Tish's Fashions.

The cost is $480 for a table of eight. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are $70 each. Contact Kjeryn at Kjeryn.davis@investorsgroup. com or 780-679-7890 for tickets or more information. You can also contact Carla Makoloski at 780878 4338 or Lauren Hoyme at 780-608-5493.

Armena Royals fall to Leduc in PBL playoffs Submitted Camrose minor ball alumni contributed to what many considered a Cinderella run in the Powerline Baseball League’s 2012 playoffs.

The Armena Royals, led by current Augustana Viking hockey player Adam Johnson, current midget Camrose Cougar Zenan Sherbaniuk and his brother Ian, as well as past Camrose baseball alums Cody Sroka, Chad Samoisette, Cole Tomaszewski and Brendan

Kudrowich contributed to an improbable PBL final appearance after four straight years of non-playoffs and a combined 10-49 record from 2009-2011.

The Royals, 9-8 coming into the final, marched into Leduc (13-4) to face the three-time defending champions on Tuesday, July 24, in game one of the best of three championship, and came out victorious 6-1. Veteran pitcher Joel Boettger, who ran his record to 5-1 after the game,

struck out six and scattered three hits in the win.

Game two back in Armena had a large crowd gather in hopes of seeing a team capture its third PBL title (1984 and 2002), but all-star Leduc hurler Steven Pahl shut the Royals down and launched a backbreaking home run to lead off the sixth inning offensively to help the Milleteers force a deciding game with a 5-1 win. Cody Sroka had a valiant effort for the Royals on the hill, but couldn’t

get any offensive help. The only run coming off the bat of rookie phenom Zenan Sherbaniuk who scored Cole Tomaszewski with a second-inning triple.

Game three back in Leduc started really well for the young Royals. Zenan and Joel would cash in on unearned runs, but Leduc would force Armena to strand five other runners in the first four innings that proved costly.

The Milleteers then strung together five hits and six runs

in their half of the fourth and never looked back, winning their fourth straight title with the 6-2 win.

“These kids made me proud this year,” co-player-coach Jason Buzzell said after the loss. “If you had told me we’d make it to game three of the PBL final and lose late in the game at the beginning of the season, I’d have probably been thrilled. But this one stings because the guys played so hard and so well.”

CAMROSE & DAYSLAND

In loving memory of

Olga Tylosky

Clayton (Bud) Baker

Garry Edwin Reid

Olga was born on May 7, 1924 on her father’s homestead south of Bawlf. She was the youngest of 11 – 4 boys and 7 girls – born to John and Julia Tylosky. When Olga was 1-1/2 years old she had “infantile paralysis” known as polio.

Olga attended Normana School to grade 8 and then completed grades 9 to 12 at Bawlf School. She attended the U of A, Banff School of Fine Arts and the University of Victoria.

Her teaching career began at Heatherbrae teaching grades 1 to 8. She taught in Bawlf, three years in Daysland, two years in Barrhead, two years in Westlock and was the primary principal in Vermilion for three years. She taught for the Correspondence Branch in Edmonton for 16 years before retiring. She also proofread, wrote lessons and illustrated them for elementary schools.

From 1957 to 1993, she lived in Edmonton.

Then in 1993, she moved to Hillside Condos in Camrose to be close to her sisters and family. Olga was the chauffeur for her sisters Doris and Irene. They had coffee or lunch out daily and loved each other’s company. Later, when Irene moved to Providence Place in Daysland, Olga also went to Daysland. When Irene passed, Olga wanted to move back to Camrose. She lived at Viewpoint in Camrose one year before her passing.

Olga loved to play cards and was very lucky. She enjoyed birdwatching, wildlife, flowers and plants. She appreciated nice things and always kept her house neat. She loved her nieces and nephews and took them to Buffalo Bills, Storyland Valley Zoo and many other places. She was always interested in what her nieces and nephews were doing, no matter how old they were.

Also, her birthday was a special time, one to celebrate with friends and family. Her favorite time of the year was Christmas. She loved to shop and find special dresses and matching outfits for the children. Christmas ornaments, children’s books, games and Turtles needed to be purchased. She loved it when people came to visit. In later years, even though her hearing made visiting difficult, she loved to see people come through her door. The children especially brought a big smile to her face.

Our wonderful “Aunt Ollie” was a lady!

We all loved, respected and admired her.

She is survived by many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and greatgreat-nieces and great-great-nephews. She was predeceased by four brothers John, Joe, Bill and Andy; six sisters Alice, Ann, Mary, Doris, Kathryn and Irene; her parents John and Julia; and grandma Anna Chmilar.

Ram Laramie Limited HD Tackle the tough jobs

By Dan Jensen

The new Dodge Ram Laramie Limited heavy duties at Camrose Chrysler are no slouches when it comes to heavy work.

Laramie Limited 2500 models come standard with a 5.7 litre HEMI VVT V-8, which delivers 383 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 400 lb.-ft of torque.

Laramie Limited 3500 models come standard with a 6.7 litre Cummins Turbo Diesel that produces 350 horsepower and 800 lb.-ft. of torque.

"It is the most durable and reliable engine in its class," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier.

The Cummins Turbo is backed by a choice of a standard, class-exclusive G56 six-speed manual transmission, or an available six-speed automatic. The six-speed manual has an ultra-low first gear ratio, which makes it ideal for heavy hauling requirements, while the sixspeed automatic offers ease of driveability and towing.

The 5.7 litre V-8 is matched to a new heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission and offers Electric Range Select, which provides a unique shift schedule that minimizes gear hunting while towing heavy loads, and provides automatic downshifting capability when decelerating.

Transfer cases available with the Ram heavy duties include the NV271, a manual unit, and the NV273, which offers electric shift-on-the-fly.

Look as good as they perform The Ram Laramie Limited heavy duties look as good as they perform, thanks to 17-inch polished aluminum wheels, chrome bodyside mouldings, and chrome or body-coloured front and rear bumpers with bright white and bright silver or black and mineral grey metallic paint.

Wheelbases stretch from 149 inches on the crew cab to 160.5 inches on the mega cab.

To accommodate cooling requirements of the 6.7 litre Cummins, the grille opening is larger than the lightduty grille. The larger grille incorporates a taller hood that includes louvres on each side.

Access to the front winch and tow hooks led to the unique bumper design.

The ingenious RamBox cargo management system consists of two large dry, lockable, illuminated and drainable side-bed bins, an adjustable cargo bed divider/extender, cargo rails and moveable tie-down cleats. Assets available from Mopar, like the fishing- and hunting-friendly RamBox holster, only sweeten the ride.

The tailgate is sculpted for air flow, incorporating a spoiler in the upper part of the sheet metal. The tailgate includes a lift-assist feature that makes raising and lowering a one-hand operation.

Standard bed-rail protection is included with the Laramie Limited cargo boxes.

Towing ability Ram Laramie Limited heavy duties have what it takes to get the job done, with an exceptional 10,319 kg maximum towing capability, as well as standard avail-

able assets like the Class IV hitch receiver, tow/haul mode, fifth wheel hitches from Mopar and ParkView rear back-up camera.

"The impressive torque, combined with the five-year, 100,000 km powertrain warranty and Cummins' proven reputation for reliability are a direct response to the high expectations of customers," said Mercier.

The backbone of the 2012 Ram heavy duties is a hydroformed, fully boxed frame with advanced torsional rigidity and stiffness. A coil-spring suspension setup is used in the front of the vehicle, while the multi-level spring design is maintained in the rear for heavy-duty capability.

Front and rear shocks and springs are tuned for optimum ride quality and capability.

Standard exhaust brakes (on diesel models) reduce brake fade, prolong brake life and provide confidence and safety when hauling heavy loads on downhill

grades. Large front (360 mm) and rear (358 mm) brakes with integrated anti-lock brake system increase brake life and braking stability.

Trailer brake control information on the Laramie Limited is conveniently displayed in the electronic vehicle information centre, which is standard on all models. Other tow-friendly features include trailer-tow mirrors with integrated turn signals, memory function and puddle lamps.

John Wigston Camrose Chrysler

Comfortable interior The Ram Laramie Limited pampers the driver and occupants with Natura Plus full-leather seating, piano black components and creature comforts like dual-zone temperature controls, heated steering wheel, and electronics that take their cues from high-end audio and communications systems. From headroom to armrest to footwell, it is a ride with a comfort level that only Ram duty can deliver.

Six-ring instrumentation keeps track of vehicle functions, while many controls are arrayed in the centre stack, for easy access to buttons and knobs.

The Ram mega cab has the most interior volume of any truck in its class, giving you more than enough space to securely haul large boxes.

When the more-than-average rear leg room isn't needed, mega capability comes into work or play. These rear seats fold flat, letting you transport large items with zero hassles getting it all in or out.

Class-exclusive in-floor storage bins (on crew cabs) are perfect for out-of-sight storage when you need it.

They are waterproof and drainable for keeping things cool.

You can see the 2012 Dodge Ram Laramie Limited heavy duties at Camrose Chrysler, on Highway 13 East.

On the road …

Exciting season at Camrose Golf Course continues The 2012 golf season continues to be a great one at the City of Camrose owned and operated Camrose Golf Course.

Camrose Golf Course resident CPGA professional Bill Penny has been awarded Golf West Magazine's platinum award for Favourite Pro in Alberta.

The award was voted on by the magazine's readers.

“This accolade certainly demonstrates the great reputation that the Camrose Golf Course and staff have in the golf community,” praises Camrose Community Services general manager Paul Nielsen.

"We extend our congratulations to Bill for this terrific honour.”

Penny said it is the Camrose Golf Course team's vision to provide a tremendous total experience at the Camrose Golf Course.

"From the atmosphere in the pro shop to the ease of getting settled into your power cart and onto the first tee, the friendliness of our staff to the conditions of our course – we want people to leave remembering the great day they had here at the Camrose Golf Course and wanting to keep coming back.”

In line with this vision, Penny and his staff are pleased to see the return of Gallery Restaurant, and welcome Finn Olesen as the new operator of the Camrose Golf Course’s Food & Beverage service.

“Finn has a wealth of experience in the food and beverage industry and, as a result, golf course visitors can look forward to a new menu and enhanced service to the golfing and non-golfing public," said Penny. "Food and beverage services are an important part of the overall golf experience and an important part of golf culture. Golf is a social game and it’s important to us that great refreshments are available at the Camrose Golf Course – for those who want to enjoy before or after a round, or for the non-golfing public who just want to come out and take in the great scenery out here.”

Established in 1922, the Camrose Golf Course is a City of Camrose owned and operated, 18-hole public course. The course provides all amenities required by both the recreational golfer and the golfers seeking additional challenges to their game. Golfers can book their tee times by calling 780672-2691. Golfers and non-golfers alike can always stop in for a delicious meal at Gallery Restaurant at Camrose Golf Course.

Different Name Same Great Place!

Coming shortly you will see some new signage at your locally owned Lube-X Camrose location; however, Derek and his staff want to assure you that the new Jiffy Lube signage will be the only thing that’s changing.

Stop on by. You’ll still see the same great staff you have come to trust providing you with the same great service you have come to expect.

Hagen leads The Extreme Tour into Camrose

By Dan Jensen

Local recording artist Jill Hagen will be leading The Extreme Tour into City Center Camrose for a Music on Main performance this Thursday.

Hagen makes up one-fourth of The Extreme Tour, along with The Burn Ins, The Lacks and Joal Kamps.

"They are bands that play a mixture of rock and roll, pop rock and punk, all of which is Christian rooted," said The Extreme Tour event coordinator Curtis Bessette.

The bands will begin playing

at 6 p.m. and should be finished by 9.

The north half of 50 Street will be closed to traffic starting at 5 p.m.

The Extreme Tour started as a grassroots project of "The Extreme," a cultural outreach project started

by Ted Bruun and a small group of other Idaho residents in 1994. The purpose of The Extreme Tour was to use extreme sports and music events held in communities across Idaho (which later became around the United States and now around the world) to reach at-risk and counter culture youth with services and resources that would assist them in

making positive and healthy decisions for a successful and victorious life.

The bands who are part of The Extreme Tour will be accompanied to Camrose by extreme skateboarders, who will be competing at the Camrose Skate Park Aug. 15 starting at 5 p.m.

"The band members will be there to promote the show the following night," said Bessette.

The Extreme Tour is a faithbased effort, however, the events are not religious events aimed at a religious market. Rather, they are extreme sports and music events

aimed at a mainstream market and held in mainstream venues and settings.

The Extreme Tour is now, in terms of the number of communities visited in a year, the largest and longest running extreme sports and music tour in the world. The tour visits a little over 100 communities each year in the United States, a number that is set to go up dramatically as it reaches out internationally.

The Extreme Tour is being sponsored in Camrose by City Center Camrose, The Open Door and local churches working together.

On the road ‌ Open Door Bed Races kick-off launches team entries

TEST DRIVE A OR EVENT Chance to WIN an iPod with every Tundra or Rav 4 test drive

By Murray Green

The action is revving up for the Camrose Open Door Association's Harvest Gala and Bed Races.

A kick-off barbecue at Creative Bedrooms on Friday, Aug. 10, was held to promote the Harvest Gala on Friday, Sept. 28, at the Norsemen Inn and to gather teams for the seventh annual bed races on Saturday, Sept. 29, from noon to 3 p.m. at the Camrose Regional Exhibition.

About $20,000 was raised at the bed races last year. "The bed race is an event that fits closely with our mission to meet the needs of youth who find themselves at risk. Housing is a key aspect of our support for local youth. The bed race idea began as a great way to raise fun and funds to provide local youth with supportive housing," said Open Door executive director Randal Nickel.

To enter a group in the bed races, it takes a team of five people and a bed that could be anything from a crib to a coffin. The team raises pledges prior to the event and then races the bed in several heats on the day of the event.

"We not only want teams to enter, but to challenge others to participate in the event as well," added Randal. "We are hoping for about 12 teams this year."

Randal would like to see 12 teams entered this year and it is the Open Door's goal to raise $25,000. The Church of God Youth Group is the defending champion and holder of the prestigious bedspring trophy. Scotiabank is the two-time defending fundraising champion and holder of the esteemed stuffed mattress trophy. Used beds may be available from Creative Bedrooms if you need help getting started.

The Harvest Gala had about 170 people attend last year, but about 250 could attend this year.

MP Kevin Sorenson will be handling the auction of donated items.

"We think it will be a great event.

Teacher-comedian Ken Valgardson will be the emcee and provide us with some entertainment," Randal said. "It should be fun and a non-alcohol event. It matches our theme of helping youth."

Mission auction funds buy a bed for the teens and tax receipts can be issued. Some Cafe Connections dessert items may also end up in the auction.

Contact Randal, Shauna Arrowsmith at Creative Bedrooms or Open Door office manager Sam Backus if you are interested in participating in the bed races or need an information package. Email director@camroseopendoor.com, Twitter www.twitter.com/OpenDoorED or phone 780-679-6803 for details.

Proceeds from golf tournament

The Camrose Lefthanders' Men's Golf Tournament committee was able to donate $300 in after-expense proceeds from its June 15 tournament to Camrose Victim Services. Presenting a cheque to Camrose Victim Services board chair Leann Strilchuk were committee members Thomas Dobbie and Eric Hohn.

Stable agriculture industry essential Two weeks ago, John Varty, an Ontario university professor with a farm background, and his fiancée, Molly Daley, rode into Camrose on a Massey Ferguson tractor drawing a small home-made house. They were on a cross-Canada mission to draw the attention of all Canadians to the plight of Canadian farmers. They stopped at Hauser Home Hardware Building Centre to address a crowd which included MP Kevin Sorenson, MLA Verlyn Olson, and Camrose city councillor John Howard.

(A report of the event appears in this week’s (Aug. 14) Country Booster.)

Varty, who teaches topics involving agricultural trade issues at the university level, is passionate about the need to make the non-agricultural population aware of the importance of agriculture to everyone of us – because food is essential to our survival. He also feels it is important to increase the public’s awareness of the challenges faced by our food producers, such as the high cost of production and the low return they get for their produce. He also deplores the fact that food producers take risks – moisture, frost, hail – over which they have no control, yet have “relatively little political clout.” He hopes to change that by making a documentary of this unusual cross-Canada trip and having it aired. Varty believes that Canadian society needs to become aware and conversant with the contributions that farmers make to health and wealth of everyone of us.

I hope the Varty/Daley trip will achieve its objective of getting the entire population, not just farmers, to realize the importance of the agriculture industry.

MP Kevin Sorenson says agriculture contributes $90 billion a year to the Canadian economy. In Alberta, agriculture is the second largest industry exceeded only by energy.

Agri-News (Aug. 6) reported that in 2011, Alberta exports of primary and processed agricultural and food products totalled $8 billion. Alberta exports of wheat alone, one of the province’s most important agricultural crops and long recognized for its excellent quality, totalled $1.4 billion in 2010. Agriculture contributes much to the economy of Alberta and Canada and helps feed the world. It is also a mainstay in our local community; what happens on the farm has a direct impact on the whole of society.

Farmers are facing another challenge that Varty did not mention. Forecasts of the world’s future needs for wheat (food) are a matter of grave concern because we are told that we will have to produce significantly more with less land on which to do it. Even with this information, we see urban sprawl and industry gobbling up arable farm land all over the country. In addition, we have been polluting our land, water and air which has threatened other food sources.

As Varty brings to our attention, there is a great need for the non-agricultural community to be aware of the life-sustaining contributions of food producers and processors. When developers and industrialists are meeting in board rooms, it is essential that food sources not be threatened by their decisions.

Farmers have a long history of continually improving their techniques, efficiency and product, but at some point it becomes impossible to do still more with even less. Most of us get food from the store and we are told that a sizeable segment of the population actually does know from where it originates. Each of us can help change that by becoming more aware ourselves and by talking about it to others.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

@CityofCamrose

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM Unidirectional Flushing is a method of cleaning the water mainlines through a network of flushing sequences with the water being discharged from a fire hydrant. The flushing of the pipes will dislodge and remove mineral deposits, sediments and biological deposits that accumulate over time.

The City of Camrose implements the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program to:

The toilet is one of the largest water consuming appliances, attributing to nearly 30% of total indoor water use in residential homes and up to 45% in some businesses or institutions!

- maintain and improve the City’s water quality.

* Limited funding is available; rebates will be approved as funding is available based on satisfied applications and conditions.

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

Applications must be received by September 28th, 2012.

Starting with Zone A (in Area 1) in early August, the UDF Program 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 a discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear.

To apply or for more information, please contact: Toilet Rebate Program Mirror Lake Centre (5415-49 Avenue) 780-672-4428 www.camrose.ca/toiletrebate toiletrebate@camrose.ca

- improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system.

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