Augustana will have to share load with budget By Dan Jensen

The Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta in Camrose will be faced with some hard decisions on budgets and staffing in the coming months. "All of the faculties in the university are going to have to play their part in reducing the budget for the 201415 fiscal year by $56 million," said Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger last week. "We haven't heard from the provost what portion of that $56 million will belong to Augustana as a target but I anticipate we will have to do our share." Augustana will not be directly impacted by the recent budget-influenced decision by the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science to reduce the number of courses and raise admission requirements, and, in fact, will be starting the new school year with approximately the same number of programs as it offered in the 2012-13. "Here at Augustana we have been actively trying to grow enrolment, and for the last several years we have had growth in enrolment each year," said Dr. Berger. "We are anticipating another slight increase in enrolment this year." Whether that growth will continue in future years still remains to be seen. "At a meeting just the other day one of our department chairs questioned whether we would, in this environment of budget cuts, be able continue to welcome this kind of growth, or whether we will have to put a cap on the enrolment at Augustana as well," said Dr. Berger. "It was an appropriate question to ask, but we are not yet prepared to

Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger.

make a decision. I have said since I came to Augustana that I think we need to grow not just for the sake of growth but because I think student growth will help us improve the quality of Augustana by providing a rationale to invest in additional faculty to ensure we have sufficient numbers and sufficient diversity in every academic program. But if the resources aren't there to make investments in additional faculty and instead we are actually finding ourselves needing to cut faculty, the logic that undergirded our assumptions about enrolment growth is now gone and we have to reassess where we are and what makes sense."

In the event classes are under enrolled in the coming winter term, Augustana will take a serious look at whether it should continue to teach those classes, taking into account whether there are other classes in which students can be placed and whether there are students who need the class for graduation. "I am more worried about the class schedules that we will build for 2014-15," said Dr. Berger, "because we may be facing a need, especially if there are staff reductions, to reduce our course offerings." University of Alberta faculty who are interested in participating in the recently announced voluntary sever-

ance package will need to submit their applications for the package by Sept. 16. "In just the last few days I have met with our department chairs to begin a conversation about how we might respond to applications for voluntary severance," said Dr. Berger. "I can assure you it is a difficult conversation. At this point it is purely speculative because we don't know who will apply. But clearly what the university is thinking here is we need to solve at least a portion of our budget problems by reducing our salary and benefit obligations, and one way to do that is to offer a voluntary severance program. The challenge there is that our faculty here at Augustana are spread fairly thin across a broad range of arts and sciences programs, and in accepting voluntary severances, although we may need to do this in order to reduce the budget, we also risk compromising the quality of academic programs, so we are facing a really tough balancing act. If we were to accept certain voluntary severance agreements we would have to ask whether we can still sustain a program or sustain a program with quality. As dean I will be making recommendations on every application for voluntary severance to the provost." Dr. Berger said it is difficult to imagine how the university can reach its $56 million budget target without in some way reducing its obligation for wages and compensation. "Overall wages and benefits are 76 per cent of the university's budget. We

can't find $56 million from the other 24 per cent." The University of Alberta is hopeful that the Association of Academic Staff, University of Alberta (AASUA) will come to the table to negotiate possible adjustments in the current contract, which was reached at a time when the university had a fair degree of confidence in two per cent increases each year in the provincial grant. "The wage and salary agreement that was reached with AASUA was built on that premise," said Dr. Berger. "Although AASUA announced a few weeks ago a lack of interest or an unwillingness to come back to the bargaining table I know there have been many reactions to that decision from their membership and I think leadership is still leaving the door open to the possibility of meeting with administration to engage in a compensation re-opener conversation." Dr. Berger said there are many questions at Augustana about how the need for reductions will impact various departments. "Right now we are not able to give very good answers. What I have largely focused on to date is assuring faculty that we will share information as openly as we can and we will engage in a planning and decision-making process that is as participatory and consultative as we can make it. Ultimately, if we do face decisions about having to reduce personnel or, worse case scenario, having to make changes in academic programs; those are difficult decisions to make democratically, but it is important to make them consultatively."

AboutTime Productions moves to new space By Dan Jensen

Volunteers have been busy putting the finishing touches on renovations to AboutTime Productions' new home in the Soap Stop building. "We're hoping to have the renovations complete by the time we start a new year of classes after the community registration night on Sept. 5," said AboutTime Productions artistic director Cathie Johnson. AboutTime Productions took possession of the new space last May. "I was in buying soap products from the Soap Stop and inquired with the owner as to whether it was available," said Johnson. "It turned out we met his criteria because most of the courses we offer at AboutTime Productions happen when his business is closed." AboutTime Production will continue to use the Bai-

ley Theatre for its theatrical productions. "We were happy with operating courses in the Bailey and it was wonderful to be there for the time we were but the fact there was no wheelchair accessibility made it hard for anyone with any physical disabilities to be able to come and take part in our courses," said Johnson. "The space at the Bailey also proved to be too small for some of the participants in the older age groups. It was fine for our three- and four-yearolds but when you try to get a number of teens in there it just wasn't working." AboutTime Productions has already used the new space to conduct workshops and practice for the parades. "It is the perfect size for us," said Johnson. "It used to be the home of the Pal's Preschool, which has now

moved to Camrose Composite High School." AboutTime Productions has received generous support for the cost of renovations from local individuals and businesses, including Creative Interiors, which has provided a discount on the flooring. Norm Mayer, from Central Agencies, has agreed to sponsor the signage on the building, while McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC has agreed to come on board once again as the season sponsor. "The only question he (McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC owner Will McClellan) ever asks us is if every kid can take this," said Johnson. "My answer to him is that we never turn anybody away." Johnson is continually amazed at the willingness of people in Camrose to help programs that involve children and youth.

"The one thing our community does so well," said Johnson, "is support youth." Johnson is excited about AboutTime Productions getting the chance to stage shows in the new Camrose Performing Arts Centre starting in 2014. "The more spaces that we have to perform in the community, the luckier we are going to be," said Johnson. "We have already given $500 to the theatre from the sales we did at our concession when we had our first play." Auditions AboutTime Productions will be conducting auditions at the Bailey Theatre Sept. 2 and 3 for its 2014 musical production, Seussical. "We have 20 openings available," said Johnson. "Maybe once the performing arts centre is up and running I will be able to

put on shows with 50 to 60 kids but with the stage space that is available now the most I can fit is 20. It's disappointing because there are a lot of talented youth in our community." Suessical combines parts of several well-loved stories by Dr. Seuss, including Horton Hears a Who, Cat in the Hat, Whoville and The Grinch. "I am excited about doing it," said Johnson. "The plot and the characters should be very familiar to fans of Dr. Seuss. Seussical will run at the Bailey Theatre Feb. 28, March 1 and 2, and March 8, 9 and 10. AboutTime productions will also be doing a production of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas in December and a beautiful play about relationships entitled The Last Five Years around Mother's Day.

Take No Bull event supports children Submitted

Family Violence Action Society (FVAS) celebrated the completion of a successful fund-raiser known as “Take No Bull,” by presenting portraits of winning contestants riding Wild West Willie, a 2,800-pound Brahma-cross steer. In addition to riding the steer in the Big Valley Jamboree Parade on Aug. 1, contest winner Reeve Don Gregorwich was treated to a photo shoot with Al Zimmerman, local wildlife photographer and craftsman. Runners- up, Lynne Kennedy and Jan Turnbull, and top fund-raisers Holly Weiler, Peter Holliday and Shelley Moch, were also invited to participate in the photo shoot. Zimmerman donated photography and framing to support the fund-raiser. Contestants qualified for the prize draws by being among the top 10 fund-raisers and those qualifying also included Lee Foreman, Rod MacInnis, Randal Nickel and Samara Froland. Take No Bull assisted with much-needed funds to support counselling services for children exposed to family violence. Contestants raised $5,524 toward a shortfall of $10,000 that will help ensure services to children and adults continue to be available in Camrose. “We still have a work to do to fund our programs and services for this year,” said Sheralyn Dobos, program director of Family Violence Action Society. “This was the first time we’ve attempted Take No Bull and it has proven to be a good first effort in terms of both awareness and funds raised,” added Dobos. Net proceeds of $4,700 from this fund-raiser will

fund 70 hours of counselling for as many as 12 children exposed to family violence in Camrose and area. Children receiving services of FVAS most often have no other options to access this type of counselling, due to financial and other barriers. Children exposed to family violence can be traumatized in many ways, even though the abusive behaviour may not be directed toward them. Children need not even be in the same room with parents or adults during an abusive incident to be negatively affected. They may become fearful and anx-

ious, believing that the world is a dangerous place. A child may become aggressive, lashing out and bullying others, or instead become passive and withdrawn, believing that they cannot change any part of their lives. Trouble learning is common for such children, because so much of their brain is busy dealing with stress of living in their abusive environment. Exposure to family violence affects the development of children’s brains, which in turn affects physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development. Their ability to con-

nect with other people and make friends is also affected, which has long-term implications for relationships they enter when they become adults. Children who continue to be exposed to family violence and abuse continue to be negatively affected in their development. Counselling provided by FVAS in the first half of 2013 has helped children gain confidence to speak up for themselves and explain their feelings to parents, according to parent reports. Children also gain skills in resolving conflict between themselves and adults such as parents,

caregivers and teachers, as well as between themselves and other children. Most parents also report that their children are better able to cope with stress and deal with their anger in healthier ways. When children received counselling at FVAS, parents are strongly encouraged to undertake their own learning and growing process to begin to address the root of the issue. Choices, a group for women impacted by family violence or abuse, and Changing Ways, a group for men, are each 14-week programs that help adults begin to understand the dynamics of family violence. Participants learn and practice valuable skills including understanding and coping with emotions and stress, taking responsibility for their own actions and communicating assertively, to name a few. An eight-week Anger Management class is also provided for adults with more generalized anger issues not related to domestic relationships, but that might affect them in work or social settings. All groups are provided without registration fees, and counselling is provided free of charge, though donations are welcomed. Family Violence Action Society is a registered charity providing services to Camrose and area since 1996. It seeks to work in collaboration and partnership with others to reduce the occurrence and impact of violence in our community. Adult group programs are filling quickly for September start dates so interested individuals are encouraged to call soon for more information. Contact Sheralyn at 780-672-0141.

City won't place bid on 2016 Summer Games By Dan Jensen

The City of Camrose will not be submitting a bid on the 2016 Alberta Summer Games. Community services manager Paul Nielsen told City council Aug. 6 that the City does not have the capacity at this time to put together a package for the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation before the Dec. 31 deadline. "Pulling together a bid submission is an involved and detailed process taking considerable resources and time," said Nielsen. "In order to facilitate this process, someone would have to be hired on a contract basis to work with City staff to meet the bid criteria and timeline. No funds are currently included in the 2013 budget for pursuit of a games bid." Nielsen said while

games can add between $2.5 to $3.0 million to the local economy, the cost of hosting them is significant. "Hosting a winter or summer games costs about $1.6 million. Of this, approximately one quarter ($420,000) of the cost is covered by available grant funds. The balance of approximately $1.2 million must come from other sources such as fundraising and municipal subsidies. The 55 Plus Games typically costs about $800,000, again, with approximately one quarter of the funding coming from grants and the rest from other sources." Major costs include the transportation and feeding of athletes and the salaries of coordinating staff. "Airdrie had three coordinators for their games so they are getting bigger," said Nielsen.

Camrose has a long history in Alberta Games hosting, being tied with Lethbridge as the municipalities having hosted the most games in the province since the inception of the games in 1974. The city hosted the Alberta Senior Games in 1980, 1982 and 1984, the Alberta Winter Games in 1990 and the Alberta Summer Games in 2002. Organization was the responsibility of the Camrose Games Society, which consisted of interested community members and agencies, as well as representatives from the City of Camrose. Nielsen said city administration is of the opinion that Camrose may be better suited to host a future Alberta Winter Games or a Provincial 55 Plus Games (winter or summer) due to the types

of facilities required or desired and the potential existing volunteer base for the typical sports represented at the games. Councillor Max Lindstrand said the key to hosting a successful games is lining up committed volunteers. "You need to hold off (on a bid) until you get to the point where there is a push from the grass roots." The legacy from the Alberta Summer Games was the construction of the track at the Camrose Composite High School. "The track has been used dozens of times since the 2002 games," said Lindstrand. Councillor Gerry Galenza said the City of Camrose could take on additional partners, like Camrose County, in hosting a future Alberta games. "I don't know if we

would have to take on the burden by ourselves." Galenza also noted there are people in the community who, if encouraged, would be passionate about getting involved with the games. Nielsen said should the City of Camrose wish to pursue a games further away in time, an amount can be considered in the budget for council consideration. "It is recommended that the City of Camrose not pursue a bid submission for the 2016 Alberta Summer Games but that bidding on a future games and associated costs be included as part of the 2014 budget formulation process. At that time a newly elected council will be in place and it is likely that any games hosted would fall within their four-year mandate."

Martha's Music in downtown Camrose named Business of Summer By Dan Jensen

Martha's Music is the 2013 Big Valley Jamboree/98.1 CAM-FM Business of Summer. Martha's Music edged out 14 other Camrose businesses to claim the title, a trophy and a $20,000 promotional package that included a minimum of 25 mentions on CAM-FM, recognition on the Big Valley Jamboree concert bowl jumbotron, recognition on the BVJ and CAMFM social media outlets, and six tickets to the Thursday night kick-off party. The winner was determined by eight judges from the Camrose Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Camrose who visited each participating Business of Summer contest participant to see how they captured, through their dress or decorations, the spirit of Big Valley Jamboree. "We saw a really wide variety of displays covering everything from the real traditional western with the cowboy hats and cowboy shorts, to campfires setups

The 2013 Big Valley Jamboree/98.1 Cam-FM Business of Summer award was presented to Martha's Music. Pictured are: (left to right) Curtis Bessette, Martha's Music, Hazel Cail, executive director of Tourism Camrose, Larry Werner, producer of Big Valley Jamboree, Alana and Clifford Hogstead, owners of Martha's Music, Shandy Shiang, 98.1 Cam-FM, Sharon Anderson, executive director of the Camrose Chamber of Commerce, and Darwin Reddekopp, Martha's Music.

and t-shirts," said Tourism Camrose executive director Hazel Cail. "There was one business that displayed old cooking ware according to a Big Valley theme. Another used a boot in which people were able to place entries for the chance to win Big Valley Jamboree kick-off party tickets. "It was quite an interesting experience." Martha's Music decorat-

ed with pieces of old farm buildings, lariats, a cowboy mannequin and pictures on the walls from 20 of the 21 Big Valley Jamborees. "My brother has our family farm with a few outbuildings so I went to the farm and tried to pick out a few things that I thought might work," said Martha's Music co-owner Clifford Hogstead. "We were thinking of old store fronts and things

so that is where the design came from." Alana Hogstead said she received many positive comments about the store's displays. "We had one person ask us jokingly why we would waste a good lariat on a guitar. I just said why would we waste a good guitar on a rope." Alana said it was nice to have a terms of reference for the contest.

DINNER FOR FOUR 8 pieces of fish, four orders of fries, four coleslaw, four soft drinks

"I always said I was going to do something to decorate the business but I never did. Having the guidance and the rules helped us say to each other this is how we are going to proceed. After we passed that initial step it was just a matter of collecting the different materials." Wildrose Co-op helped drive awareness of the Business of Summer contest by displaying fencing and western-style silhouettes. "It was excellent exposure right away and it got people engaged and joining in the competition," said Cail. "Our local residents expressed lots of times to me how excited they were to see the businesses getting involved and bringing out the spirit of Big Valley Jamboree. I am certain there are other businesses now that are wishing they had joined in." Cail said there were a number of businesses who were very close to winning the contest. "We had about five who were in the very top category."

Lindballe and Samm participate in wilderness canoe trip By Dan Jensen

Camrose residents Leslie Lindballe and Helen Samm gave a presentation at Augustana, Aug. 7, on some of the insights they gained during a recent intercultural women's wilderness canoe trip in northern Saskatchewan. Sister Journey 2013 was put together by Nimis Kahpimotate – a group of Saskatchewan women associated with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which is conducting hearings across Canada for a report that will include recommendations to the Government of Canada concerning the residential school program and its legacy. "They wanted to make a concrete step forward from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and thought a canoe trip was a good way to do that," said Lindballe. "They felt it would be a way for aboriginal and eight nonaboriginal participants to share truths and stories with each other, nurture friendships and encourage healing and reconciliation with each other and between their communities." The trauma of the residential schools, operated by the Canadian government and churches, was not a trauma that affected just the aboriginal people. "We can still consider it a trauma for the descendants of the settlers who engage in these horrible conditions and

the policies of our government," said Lindballe. "There were a lot of negative things about the policies that established these schools. There is actually documentation of correspondence between federal politicians saying this is to the kill the Indian in the child. Some people have used the term cultural genocide

to describe these places. The mortality rate in the schools in the 1930s was something like 25 to 30 per cent." Lindballe said the discussions around the residential schools by trip participants were sometimes quite traumatic. "One of the non aboriginal women lived close to a

residential school when she was a kid and didn't have an understanding of what was going on there. Now as an adult she does know so having a chance to talk about it was a chance for her to heal." Lindballe said one of the things that struck her the most on the trip was the women of the north.

"They had a silence and a way of watching the things that were happening around them. They didn't say a lot but when they spoke everyone was quiet because even in their silence they had a depth to them, so you knew when they spoke it was going to be something really important."

The storyline is ‘Ralphie has to convince his parents, teachers, and Santa that a Red Ryder B.B. gun really is the perfect gift for the 1940s (dramaticpublishing.com). This production is being staged with some of the shows as dinner theatre production. Mike Hicks is the director with Sylvia Lyon being the producer. Fiddler on the Roof shows will be in the Norsemen Inn, March 21-30, and April 4-5. Some of the shows will be dinner theatre productions. “In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor dairyman, tries to instill in his five daughters the traditions of his tight-knit Jewish community in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.” (mtishow. com). See the web site for character breakdown of the cast. The show is composed of music, dance and dramatics. Auditions for Fiddler on the Roof are Friday, September 13, and Saturday, September 14, at 7:00 at the Camrose United Church. Could you be the next Tevye or one of the other characters? Rehearsal will start shortly afterwards. Come show your singing talents. Sylvia Lyon is the director and Dave McDougall is the producer.

Camrose Golf Course hosts Shaw Golf Classic pre-qualifier By Dan Jensen

Twenty-two of the best 50 and up golfers from across Alberta and some parts of the United States teed off at the Camrose Golf Course early Aug. 22 in a pre-qualifying event for the inaugural Shaw Charity Classic. At the end of the day, five had earned the right to compete in a Shaw Charity Classic "qualifying" tournament that is being played today (Aug. 27) at The Hamptons Golf Club in Calgary. "The pre-qualifier in Camrose was a way for us to narrow down the number of golfers who play in the qualifying event," said Steve Downs, assistant, tournament and sponsorship, PGA of Alberta, which is looking after the Shaw Charity Classic qualifying events. "The event qualifier at The Hamptons is more for people who are already on the Champions tour and

who have status or eligibility. You don't want to have 100 people competing in the event qualifier." Scott Allread, a club pro at the Elbow Springs Golf Club in Calgary, shot a 67 to lead all golfers, while Bob Niger placed second with a 68. The golfers couldn't say enough good things about the Camrose course. "It is in great shape," said Allread. "The greens receive the shots really well and it is fantastic the way the balls roll. You just have to make sure you keep the ball below the hole. I took some time and chartered the course and chartered the greens, which I don't usually do, and it helped me keep the ball below the hole. I was able to make some birdies on the front nine especially, and then I sort of coasted my way in. I had some good chances on the back nine but just putted a

little defensively because I knew my score was a good number and I didn't want to end up three putting." The top seven golfers from the qualifying tournament will move on to the Aug. 27 to Sept. 1 Shaw Charity Classic at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club, Calgary, where they will compete alongside some of golf's most famous names – Fred Couples, Mark O'Meara, Vijay Singh, Nick Price, Mark Calcavecchia and Tom Lehman. "The classic is going to be held at Canyon Meadows probably for the next five years," said Downs. Forty-six of the players who will be playing in the Shaw Charity Classic have a combined 250 titles on the senior circuit, and 22 have hoisted Champions' tour major trophies. Camrose golf pro Bill

Penny pushed to have the pre-qualifying tournament in Camrose. "Bill is a member of the PGA and we have a great relationship with him," said Downs. "We think the Camrose course is fair and it is in great shape right now. As well, it is in central Alberta, which is ideal for people who are travelling from both Camrose and Edmonton." Penny was approached about Camrose possibly hosting the qualifier last April. "My first concern was whether our number one green would be ready because we couldn't use a temporary green," said Penny. "I talked with Dar-

ren, our superintendent, and he assured me that it would and that, while it wouldn't be perfect, it would be 90 per cent. As it turned out it was close to 95 per cent, so everything worked well. It was an honour to showcase to the better professionals what we have here in Camrose." Camrose Golf Course will be hosting a 36-hole PGA senior championship event on Sept. 10 and 11, the winner of which will receive an exemption for the Shaw Charity Classic in 2014. "We already have 40 golfers entered, all of whom are senior PGA members from Alberta," said Penny.

“I’d welcome the opportunity to be your Mayor, again” Norman Mayer My reasons for running for this position in the City of Camrose: Taxes: In recent years, our residential taxation rate has risen to an unenviable level in Alberta. With data showing that we now pay the fourth highest taxation rates in the province, I feel we need to chart a new course in spending. I feel our relative taxation level has real potential to have a negative impact on economic development for our community. Clearly the next council needs to sort out and address this situation. Capital Programs: Quite simply, the next mayor and council will need to take a harder line on capital projects. In the next term we have to get back to making more astute decisions based on needs versus wants. Funding of City Hall: I am not comfortable with the amount of money we are investing in City Hall construction, although there is no opportunity to turn back the clock on this decision. My concern is three-fold: size of the building, the potential for the project to not come in on budget and lack of guaranteed funding to pay for it. While the plan is to allocate future provincial grants (MSI funding) to this public facility, there is no absolute guarantee that 100% of this provincial money is forthcoming. With most of our pledged MSI funding being directed to our current high profile construction projects, the hands of the next council will really be “tied”. Much of the money that will be required for needed repairs on streets, sidewalks, water and sewer system upgrades will have to be borrowed in the next few years because of the decision to construct a 40,000 square foot City Hall. The result may be higher taxes, particularly if interest rates start rising. More “customer-focused” City Hall: The number one role for every person, in every department working for the City of Camrose is to provide prompt and efficient service to taxpayers – residents and businesses, alike. The next council’s goal, in working closely with the City Manager, will be to determine what can be done/changed in order to meet or exceed expectations and service levels. Until such time the 2014-2018 Council is sworn in, however, it is very difficult to access the information required for me and others to suggest significant changes or even offer specific recommendations. One of my key priorities will be to reduce the wait time for development and building permit applications and review the cost of these permits. The offices of Mayor and Council are serious responsibilities. We need a strong, business-minded group of people to lead the city going forward. If you are concerned about the future of Camrose, consider running this fall. Feel free to call me if you have questions about the “platform” I have outlined in this message. Norman Mayer

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler

Community rich with opportunity “Wow!” That is what I thought when I learned that there would be over sixty presenters at Registration Night, Thursday, September 5, at the Camrose Field House, 4516 54 Avenue. Truly, there will be opportunities for students, young adults, and older folks, too, to “sign up” for participation in a wide array of interests including a variety of the arts, numerous sports activities, crafts, writing, public speaking, astronomy, genealogy, youth organizations, and much, much more – as well as many openings for volunteer service in charitable and community service organizations. We are fortunate to have a community event such as Registration Night, in which families can make ‘one call do it all’ for each of the children and for parents as well. A whole community benefits when a family participates in activities outside their own private little circle. Students who are involved in team sports learn to think beyond themselves, to be team players in the whole game of life. The ripple effect has the potential to extend into their social relationships as they work and play with those who live in circumstances and perhaps cultures different than their own. Involvement tends to enhance their sense of well-being. Students who do volunteer work become more motivated because it helps them to see the relevance of their classroom education in addressing the many needs in their own community and injustices in the world around them. As their social network expands, even youth who previously displayed antisocial tendencies begin to care more about the welfare of others and have an increased desire to give something back to the places in which they live. People of any age who participate in groups of common interest and objectives, benefit from the camaraderie. Being included tends to dispel feelings of loneliness and isolation. Those who participate are less likely to be involved in drug abuse, violence of any kind, or suffer from mental illness. They tend to develop a greater sense of social responsibility and take a greater interest in civic affairs. They tend to become more aware of the effect of political decisions on community life; they tend to see more clearly that rights and privileges of citizenship come with a price – responsibility to maintain the freedoms which our ancestors won and which we enjoy today. May we take advantage of the many varied ways in which each of us has the opportunity to be included in community affairs, then enjoy the direct benefits to ourselves, and reap the rewards of ‘giving back’ according to our ability. Registration Night, September 5, facilitates getting involved.

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Advice offered To the lady who was driving a silver Jeep passing the golf course and further onto 50 Avenue on the morning of August 20, around 11:45 approaching downtown. You were following me in my twotone brown pickup truck with canopy. You made me nervous because you were following so close and I was travelling the speed limit. I could barely see your headlights in my rear view mirror and with my 60 years of experience of driving I estimated your distance at about 25 feet travelling at 40 feet per second. I flashed my brake lights once but you stayed closed. I moved to the curb to allow you to pass. In no time you were a block ahead of me. This is a polite suggestion that you should stay back at least another 20 feet should I or anyone need an emergency stop. If you collide with the rear of the vehicle in front of you, almost without fail you will be charged with following too close. In addition, as in my case, my insurance paid for both vehicles and then it was cancelled. The annual premium went from less than $600 to more than $3,650, gradually declining over the next six years. Whether you listen to this advice is up to you, but if it helps to prevent further problems then I feel better. I recorded your licence but I decided not to follow any other avenues. Lew Goddard, Camrose Kudos to ATP As September approaches I am reminded about all the various opportunities that Camrose organizations have to offer. If you are curious, you can check out the myriad of offerings at the Camrose

Registration Night at the Fieldhouse on Thursday, Sept. 5. But I wanted to celebrate one organization in particular; About Time Productions (ATP). For anyone who is not familiar with this group, it is a gift to the children, youth and families of our community. It is a place where children, youth and adults can find their creative spirit and work together as a family. My daughter has been part of this family for a number of years. She has been nurtured and mentored into living theatre, finding her voice and developing performing and design skills, made close friendships, knows what it is to work in a team, and other important skills that will translate into other areas of life. She has learned what it means to go through the audition process, through success and doubt. The musical or play that is produced is icing on the cake. The entire cast and crew always does a superb job of entertaining Camrose audiences. Last year's production of The Grinch, Once Upon a Mattress, and the Velveteen Rabbit are testaments to the quality of guidance our children receive. Kudos to the volunteers that guide the children and youth through the production, rehearsals and performances. I, too, have benefitted in being part of ATP. I've rediscovered my own love of theatre and design. I have been encouraged to put my creative skills into action and been acknowledged with appreciation for my contribution. And I know the other parents who put in many volunteer hours in supporting the yearly production would say similar things about being involved with ATP. Every year ATP offers not only the theatre experience through producing a play or musical, but it offers non-competitive classes in dance, improvisation, creative movement and other related skills. The instructors are knowledgeable, fun, love children and are passionate about what they share. We are supremely fortunate to have ATP add richness to the Camrose art scene. If you are interested in finding out about classes or how you can get involved and rediscover your own creativity, check

infor@abouttimeproductions.ca. Donna Hackborn Camrose Marketing freedom It was indeed interesting to read about the celebrations regarding the first anniversary of “ marketing freedom”. It seems like it must be a fantastic concept since there was not a single downside mentioned about this program. It makes one wonder why this type of program is limited to farmers. Wouldn’t an idea like this spread over the whole economy do nothing but generate a boom for Canada. I’m sure there are Lawyers and Accountants who would love the independence of setting their own rates so let’s abolish Professional Associations and unions of all kinds and allow others the marketing freedom of their services. Then there are other obstacles to efficiency and prosperity such as protected territories, exclusive rights and other monopolistic innovations. Shouldn’t they be eliminated to unleash progress? One local example, why can’t I buy a grain bin directly from Meridian in Camrose? Why must I go to a dealer? On a personal note, I needed to buy a hydraulic pump for my tractor. The local dealer told me the price was $400. I inquired at a hydraulic specialty shop and was told that I could get one for $150. I ordered a pump but the next day I got a phone call informing me that I could not buy from the hydraulic shop but had to buy from the dealer because of exclusive rights. It would take simple legislation of the kind that eliminated the Canadian Wheat Board to facilitate these changes, after all farmers never got to vote on whether they wanted this “freedom”. Do I think changes as suggested will happen? Being an optimist, my answer is the chances are slim to none since there is too much money and too many people involved. In the meantime there is one thought. One year does not a trend make and we will see if the folks mentioned in the article still feel the same in a few years. The farmers dealing with MF Global thought they had a sure thing, and they did, for a few years. Horst Schreiber Camrose

Camrose Spirals provide entertainment prior to the start of the Camrose parade The Camrose Spirals, for many years, have started skipping along 50 Street for about an hour before the Camrose parade, entertaining those who gather early

along the sidewalks. This year, Lamb Ford provided the use of a new car with a sound system. The Camrose parade is a challenge for the Spirals because the last

practices of the year are in April. The athletes get really hot and tired by the end but they always want to do just one more routine before the parade catches up to them.

Think swim and dance. That about summarizes the Camrose Cygnets Synchronized Swim Club, which will begin another year Oct. 5. "We're looking forward to getting back in the pool," said Andrea Uglem, president of the Camrose Cygnets' board. The Camrose Cygnets practice at the Camrose Aquatic Centre from 10 a.m. to noon every Saturday between October and the end of April. "We have two different groups – the Aqua Squirts, which are swimmers aged five to eight, and Recreational, which is for swimmers nine and up," said Uglem. Aqua Squirts practice their swimming skills, while the girls in the recreational group, after their warm-up period, work on routines and figures in preparation for testing. Achieving Star level one requires them to do five to ten figures and participate in a routine with the rest of the group. Star level two requires them to do 10 figures, while Star level three requires them to do 13. "They can go as high as ten levels," said Uglem. The Camrose Cygnets perform two shows a year, one at Christmas and one as the final wrap-up of the year. They also do one or two fund-raisers to defray club expenses. A swim-a-thon in April raised over $1,600 when members swam a number of laps equalling the total distance between Camrose and Ohaton. The Camrose Cygnets Synchronized Swim Club will be taking registrations at Community Registration Night Sept. 5 (at the Camrose Community Centre). More information about the Synchronized Swim Club may be obtained by calling Uglem at 780-373-3743.

Starting in astronomy By Diane McLaren, Camrose Astronomy Club

Astronomy doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby. All you really need to get started is a pair of binoculars, a sturdy tripod, a Planisphere, and perseverance. You may even have a pair of binoculars around that you can use. The Camrose Astronomy Club will be offering monthly education sessions on the third Thursday evening of each month starting at 7:30 p.m. in the Community Room at the Camrose Superstore. The session on Sept. 19 will address the use of binoculars and how to find specific items in the night sky with a Planisphere and a pair of binoculars. After the educational session, the group will move over to the Stoney Creek Centre (5320-40 Avenue) to do some observing, weather permitting. This is where the perseverance comes in. Decent observing conditions are dependent on the weather and therefore, astronomers have to learn early on to deal with disappointment. Star parties and observing nights are often rescheduled or cancelled because Mother Nature isn’t as predictable as she seems. If the skies are clear, our members will often decide to go observing on the spur of the moment because although it’s convenient to plan ahead, the Latin phrase “carpe diem” is the best approach for observing. If you already have a telescope and have never figured out how to use it or

are new to astronomy, bring your telescope to the Stoney Creek Centre on Sept. 12, from 7 to 9 p.m., and let club members help you set it up and get started observing. Call Brian at 780-6726374 to register for this “Get to Know Your Telescope” Workshop. A registration fee will be collected from each participant to help cover the facility cost. The club welcomes new members at any level of expertise. Children over 10 years of age are welcome to attend with their parent. For a $25 annual membership, you can become part of a friendly group of amateur astronomers eager to share their knowledge and enthusiasm. Our club is implementing a new format this year. On the second Thursday of the month, we will offer a public observing party at the Stoney Creek Centre starting at 9 p.m. On the third Thursday of the month, we will host a public educational session starting at 7:30 p.m. at Superstore followed by an observing party at 9 p.m. at the Stoney Creek Centre. On the fourth Thursday of the month we will offer a “member only” dark sky out of town observing party. Call Diane at 780-6722564 or email dmclaren@ cable-lynx.net for more information or drop by our table at Community Registration Night on Sept. 5, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., at the Camrose Field House (4516-54 Street).

Welcome to Evolve!

Bill Sears announces candidacy for council By Dan Jensen

Camrose City council hopeful Bill Sears is not new to politics. Sears served nine years as councillor for Beaver County and nine years as a trustee with Battle River Schools.

Bill Sears

"The many boards and committees that I served on and or chaired over those years, I believe, have given me a sound understanding of what is involved in being in the public office," said Sears. "I have the experience of working with my fellow elected officials and administration to meet the challenges of providing good government at the local level. I have always felt municipal government is the most important level of government because you are closest to the people you serve." Sears knows that with the office comes responsibility to listen to the electorate, be aware of the issues, be prepared with the facts to discuss the issues, and respect the decisions of council. There is also the responsibility, he believes, to always act professionally and show the respect the position demands. Sears thinks the biggest challenge facing council is how to balance the growth Camrose is facing while maintaining what makes the city so special. "I note that the City's vision statement is "a dynamic regional community focused on providing exceptional quality of life," said Sears. "I think that would be my vision of Camrose." Sears is aware of the talk in Camrose about eco-

nomic development and the need for more business. "I am certainly not antibusiness as I understand the demands of residential versus non-residential assessment," he said. "I do think it is important, though, to always keep in mind the quality of life part of the equation because I think that is our greatest asset. Camrose has much to offer without having to chase smokestacks." Sears also knows that municipalities are being asked to do more as upper levels of government cut back on services that people expect and require. He feels without access to funding sources other than property taxes, it is going to become harder and harder to meet all the demands. Sears and his wife, Trudy, are new residents of Camrose, having moved here from their farm south of Tofield in February of 2012. They chose Camrose as their retirement home, purchased property in Valleyview, and had their "dream" home built. "We like the small town feel with all the amenities of the big city," said Sears. "We like the green spaces, the walking trails, the cultural, educational, recreational and spiritual opportunities. Shopping is close and accessible. Traffic is usually very bearable. Our health care needs can be met here and Edmonton is a short drive away if we need more specialized services. There are many volunteer opportunities, service clubs, etc., to be involved with if a person so chooses." While the Sears are new residents, they are certainly now new to Camrose. "Camrose was our main shopping centre," said Sears. "It was also the main service centre for my farm so I have conducted business here for many years. I have several relatives here. My grandparents lived here for some time. We have many friends and acquaintances here." Sears wants to give back to the community he has chosen. "I believe I can make the best contribution by seeking public office," he said.

Max Lindstrand will be seeking a third straight term on Camrose City council Oct. 21. "It's time for me to stand up and be counted," said Lindstrand in an interview at The Camrose Booster last week. "I hope that as candidates we can elevate this to a positive campaign built on excitement and optimism. Lindstrand is looking forward to the prospect of working with a new council, and feels that he can, if re-elected, make a strong contribution.

"My experience will be a valuable asset, especially since there will be a high turnover in representation on council," he said. "There is a lot for a member of council to learn in his or her first year." Lindstrand believes the City needs to ensure excellent levels of service while maintaining reasonable levels of taxation. "It is vital," he said, "that Camrose taxation levels be monitored closely in order to be competitive with other cities in the province." Lindstrand wants to encourage growth and development with a view to preserving the City's natural beauty.

"We need to continue the thoughtful and orderly planning and development that has resulted in a remarkably attractive city," he said. "I hear a lot of people comment on how well planned and beautiful Camrose is. That is a compliment to the City planners." Lindstrand also wants to see council make continued efforts to address housing needs and consider transportation options both within the city and beyond. "We have to continue to explore ways of providing services to the entire population of Camrose," he said. Lindstrand would like to explore initiatives to help preserve our environment, conserve water and reduce the amount of waste going to the landfill, and supports improvement to City facilities in the area of the performing arts. "It will be a challenge to maintain the operations of the new Camrose Performing Arts Centre and the renovated Bailey Theatre," he said. "We need a single arts council to operate these facilities in the most costeffective manner." Lindstrand believes it important for the new council to review the City's capital plan in consultation with the citizens of Camrose. "The swimming pool and the library are two facilities that have been identified as needing attention," he said. Lindstrand has served on numerous committees, boards and commissions this past term, including Camrose and District Support Services, the Camrose and Area Lodge Authority, Camrose and Area Regional Waste Management Authority, the Municipal Planning Commission, and MSI operating committee. He has lived in Camrose the past 40 years, 36 of which have been as an educator.

Propane truck rollover near Killam On August 20, at just before 9 a.m., Killam RCMP, the Wetaskiwin Integrated Traffic Unit members, Flagstaff County EMS, Hardisty Fire Department and County Peace Officers were dispatched to a call of a truck filled with propane that had rolled over. It occurred on Hwy 872, south of Hwy 608 near Hardisty and, as a result, the highway was blocked. The female driver was trapped in the truck but was pulled to safety by two individuals who had seen the accident happen. The driver was taken to Hardisty hospital via ambu-

lance and treated for a badly injured arm. The female driver was then taken to Edmonton for further treatment. The propane truck appeared to have rolled onto its side after the driver overcorrected upon driving off the road and into the ditch. The propane vessel was not compromised in the rollover. The highway maintenance crew, Carillion, redirected traffic and the highway was re-opened several hours later Alcohol or drugs were not believed to be factors in the collision.

Introducing

By Dan Jensen

Olaf Pettersen added to his horseshoe trophy collection during the 100th annual Bruce Stampede July 28. The Camrose resident took second in the singles competition and, with his partner from Edson, second in the doubles. "We got some nice trophies," said Petterson, who did the same thing last year. Barb Fryinpan placed first in the singles competition and, with her partner, first in the doubles. Pettersen now has 94 horseshoe trophies in total. "I will keep competing until my arm gives up," he said. "I can throw 40 feet easy yet, so I will just carry on." Pettersen expressed his appreciation to the people of Bruce for putting on a good horseshoe tournament and a good stampede.

Chester Ronning was an example of citizenship John Howard delivered the following remarks on behalf of Crowfoot Member of Parliament and Minister of State for Finance Kevin Sorenson at the launch of the Camrose Founders Days celebration Aug. 9. "I count it a privilege to add my voice to those who commemorate today this 2013 edition of Camrose Founders Days. I bring you greetings from our Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Stephen Harper and the Government of Canada, and especially on behalf of all of your friends who are a part of the Crowfoot Riding. "We stand tall and we stand proud as we celebrate Camrose Founders Days, because we stand on the shoulders of those who have paved the way for the great things that have been, that are, and that will be at the heart and soul of Camrose. This time is always one of remembrance and reflection, as well as of the projection for hope for what is yet to come. "In this 2013 edition of Camrose Founders Day we remember such things as: – the dedication of “Old Main” at Camrose Lutheran College which has become the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta. – the Camrose Youngsters' Hockey team which was the precursor of today’s Camrose Kodiaks. – a June 7th Sports Day brought a reduction in rail travel to Camrose with the resultant newspaper headline “all roads lead to Camrose”; and thus began what today is Camrose Tourism. – citizens of Camrose began to suggest ways to beautify the town; and City Centre and other groups continue to this day to be concerned about our Community in Bloom. – I am wearing the “federal hat” today, on behalf of Mr. Sorenson, but on a personal comment, I also note with interest the many decisions the 1913 Town Council made. "More to the point of this 2013 edition, is our recognition of Chester Ronning. Minister, missionary, educator, diplomat, artist, musician; and recognized with both the Order of Canada and the Companion of the Order of Canada – he might well be described as Camrose’s “man for all seasons”. Bringing his best, and bringing out the best in others, he is most deserving to be our 2013 honouree. Continued on page 35

Why choose luxury vinyl tile or luxury vinyl plank?

You won’t believe it’s vinyl. Vinyl flooring has been around for generations. Today’s vinyl isn’t the faux flooring of yesteryear. Modern options are unique and trendy with finishes that closely resemble wood, tile and even stone.

Since vinyl replicates hardwood or tile, you can use it in so many ways throughout your home. From highmoisture spaces like bathrooms, to cozy family rooms where you want the look of hardwood. Comfortably superior. Today’s vinyl is available in sheets or as luxury vinyl tile. And whichever application works in your space, you’ll love the comfort it provides. Step across a vinyl floor in your stocking feet, and you’ll notice a more pliable feel to this surface that is relaxed and footfriendly.

How can I keep my child healthy during the school year?

Back to school season can also mean back to cold and flu season. Along with the new classes, new teachers, and new friends, come new viruses and germs that your child will come in contact with. Get your children ready to fight those germs. When you’re stocking up on school supplies, don’t forget the vitamins! Look for a good multi vitamin that includes: Vitamin C –taken before a cold, it has been shown to strengthen the immune system – taken at the onset of a cold it lessens the severity. Vitamin D – In the winter when most colds are running rampant, vitamin D levels are also low because of the decreased time outdoors. If this deficiency is not made up for, the efficiency of the immune system can be compromised. Omega-3 Fatty Acids – a recent study reported that children who took a 1/2 teaspoon of flax oil each day had less severe respiratory infections and were absent from school less compared to those who didn’t receive the supplement. Echinacea and Elderberry – These herbs have been used as folk remedies for centuries and are both favoured supplements to boost the immune system and help fight infections.

Help! I need to take my daughter shopping for her first bra in time for Back to School…

I remember like it was yesterday the first time my mom took me bra shopping. We went to Sears and she tried to find me the best size and style based on the knowledge she had gained from many years of wearing a bra herself. It was an awful experience, not to mention awkward, embarrassing and downright mortifying to have my mom picking out bras for me (bless her heart!). I was 15 years old when I received my first customized bra fitting, and it was absolutely a life changing experience. This time in your daughter’s life is vital to establishing her self-confidence and starting her journey to becoming a young woman. Start her out right with a customized bra fitting with a professional who is discreet and respectful yet knowledgeable about what will suit her changing body best. Our Back to School Event is on now and our bras start at A Cup size and 28 Band size. We have countless price ranges – and styles suitable for a teenager’s changing body, and we will ensure both you and your daughter are comfortable with the styles she chooses. Call us at (780) 672-2701 or drop in for your customized fitting. We are here to help! See you in the fitting room! Answer provided by:

Why isn’t my advertising working any longer?

We love this question, so thanks for asking it. The shift in consumer behavior over the past 5 years requires rethinking a lot of what you have been taught. An ad that used to have them bang down your door, no longer generates a buzz. Traditional advertising (including newspaper) DOES work. What it comes down to is what you are advertising, how you are advertising and to whom you are advertising. In the past business would create an ad or a flyer about their products, specials or their business and immediately would see a bump in their sales. Today’s consumer is different and your message needs to be differently communicated to them. Consumers are being bombarded by thousands of messages a day and quickly become overwhelmed and immune to a lot of what they see. Here are some suggestions on how to be different: Look at your advertising from a third party perspective, through the eyes of your customer. Other than a ‘sale’ (unless you only have a sale once or twice a year) what is it that they would want to know? Make the advertising about your customer, not about you or your product. Next, understand your purpose of the ad. Are you creating an awareness ad or a call to action ad where you want your customer to DO something. If it is an awareness ad then don’t expect your customer to ‘do’ something (like come in and purchase.) Last, have a strategy. Don’t plan your advertising the day before your rep calls you. Your strategy should include both offline and online advertising. Unfortunately, when sales drop, one of the first cutbacks we see small business make is to their advertising dollar. This is not the solution. To know more about creating an advertising strategy that works, call Ranchelle at 780.679.7275 for a complimentary strategic planning session.

How can I protect my computer from viruses and other malware?

There are a few things you can do. First make sure you have a good antivirus program installed and keep it up to date. Also, make sure you install all security updates for your operating system as they become available. You can set up both your antivirus and operating system to automatically check for updates so you don’t have to worry about forgetting. Use caution when opening email and visiting websites. If you don’t recognize the sender or the subject line seems suspicious, don’t open it! When browsing the internet, try not to visit sites you aren’t sure are safe and be especially wary of downloading anything unless you're certain it won’t harm your computer. Even with precautions in place, your computer can still be the victim of malicious software. Not even the best antivirus can keep up 100% of the time. However, just like any precaution, these practices will help reduce your risk of falling prey to harmful software. Answer provided by:

Can a Horse actually assist me in finding out what’s causing my pain?

The answer is YES! Thousands of people, just like you, have suffered from physical or emotional pain simply as a result of not being able to see or recognize areas of ‘unfinished business’. These memories, old belief systems and past traumas block the path to success, wellness and happiness. These blockages show up in our job/financial dissatisfaction, in areas of relationships as well as in our physical health. The Healing Power of Horses is found in their abilities to See, Feel and Touch the places deep within us. Sound untraditional? Perhaps at first impulse – but then consider the partnership and impact that mankind has shared with the Spirit of Equus for centuries. An Equine Gestalt Session can take place in private or in a group setting with No Horse Experience Necessary. The EGCMethod is a system developed by a renowned psychotherapist and is based on the principles of ‘wholeness’ – ‘that all of us carry the answers to our problems within us.’ This holistic approach is deeply tied to somatic awareness which allows a complete release of the old energy and emotional blocks, resulting in lasting changes.

Glenda Beagle,

Should I speed up my Mortgage Payments or Contribute to an RRSP?

Canadians plan to pay off their mortgages faster and still contribute more to their RRSPs, according to a poll conducted for Edward Jones in Canada. But should you work toward both these goals simultaneously? Consider the “pros” and “cons” of paying down your mortgage early. On the “pro” side, you could save a lot of money in interest payments. Plus, the less you owe on your house, the greater the equity in your pocket could be when you sell it. On the “con” side, by making extra mortgage payments, you might be shortchanging your RRSP, Tax Free Savings, and other retirement accounts — and since you could be retired for two or three decades, you may need this money. Mortgage versus retirement doesn’t have to be “either-or.” You could, for example, make a greater contribution to your RRSP and use your tax refund to make an extra mortgage payment each year. It’s your choice. The mortgage-versus retirement question is highly personal and does not lend itself to easy solutions. To further discuss a solution that’s right for you, talk to your financial planner. Answer provided by:

I am worried about the sun damaging my furniture and floors, but I still want to enjoy my beautiful view. How should I dress my windows to solve both of these issues?

Solar shades are an ideal choice for anyone wishing to maintain an exterior view while keeping heat out and coolness within. While maintaining your comfort, Solar shades block UV rays, protecting interiors from damage and minimizing TV and computer glare. Choose higher openness(7%-14%) fabrics for a better view to the outside, or lower openness(1%-5%) fabrics for better UV blockage. A solar shade is a convenient and easy-to-operate roller shade that is available in a broad selection of colors and valance or fascia styles. Many fabrics in the solar shade collection also coordinate with sliding panel fabrics to accommodate patio or garden doors. Use a versatile dual roller shade to have control over the amount of light entering your room and the degree of privacy. The innovative design pairs two fabrics from the solar and /roller shade collections. Either shade can be raised or lowered independently of the other to give you both privacy at night and a view during the day, while still keeping out UV rays and heat.

I had a tattoo done about 15 years ago and I don’t like it very much.

What can you do to fix it, or can it be fixed?

You are not alone! About onethird of my clients are those who wish they had taken more time before deciding to get a tattoo; after all, it’s going to be part of you for the rest of your life. The good news is that nearly all shoddy tattoos can be modified or augmented into a piece of art you can show off with pride! I can take a photograph of your existing tattoo and begin working on a rendition to transform it into something you will truly enjoy. Best of all, you can see and approve the artwork before I begin creating the actual tattoo. The decision to get a tattoo is often taken too lightly. Before you decide to make the commitment, talk to a number of tattoo artists, ask to see their work. A reputable artist will have a portfolio of work and will be pleased to discuss your ideas and options. You should try and make sure the artist’s style fits with what you want to see as the end result.

Leaves are turning and the air is getting crisp in the evenings; can you recommend a drink for the cooler days ahead?

“Shiver me timbers!” Is it that time of year already? The days are shorter and cooler weather is coming. We could talk about those hot buttered rums, but maybe we should keep those at bay for as long as we can. Here’s a suggestion created by those in the Royal Navy during the mid-1800s. It seems the daily rum ration was reduced to two ounces a day, which meant those brave sailors had to fortify themselves with something more. It just so happened the navy owned a ginger beer bottling plant. So they took some heavy black rum and lightened it with some sweet ginger beer. A splash of lime juice rounded out the flavours. You can make this drink the old-fashioned way or you could buy it already pre-made in handy cans. It’s called the Dark ‘N Stormy. If you go old-school and make your own, you’ll need Gosling’s Black Seal Bermuda Black Rum and Melville’s Ginger Beer (made with real ginger). The Dark and Stormy Recipe - Two ounces black rum - Three ounces ginger beer - One-half ounce of lime juice In a tall highball glass, filled with ice, pour in the ingredients, give it a stir and “down the hatch me hearties!”

Henry will be catching footballs for Golden Bears By Murray Green

Tyler Henry will be suiting up for the University of Alberta Golden Bears football team this fall. The former local minor football player and Camrose Composite High School Trojan cracked the Golden Bears line-up at the wide receiver position. Tyler played for the Edmonton Wildcats junior team the last two seasons. He also played for the Battle River Shock midget team. "Playing junior football was a good transition step for me to move to the CIS this year," said Tyler. "It gave me a chance to mature and grow up. I think that was more important than anything. On top of that, you learn as you mature physically. Your body has to adapt to playing at the next level. It gave me a chance to be stronger and faster. You also understand the game at the next level." Tyler is now playing against men at the university. "Playing for Team Canada with varsity level athletes was a good opportunity to prepare myself for what was coming up," he explained. In the past Tyler used his speed to out-run any defender. Now he is developing into a complete player. "I was fortunate to work with Camille Peterson in the off season since I left high school. He is an ex-CFL player and what I have learned from him is fluidity, under-

standing the game and that it isn't always about your raw power or speed. It's about being fluid, getting in and out of cuts, learning to be a receiver and making the other team believe you are getting the ball on every play." Understanding the defence has allowed Tyler to get to where he needs to be quicker. "Applying the knowledge I have in the game has helped and Camille has real-

ly helped make those transitions," he added. "You have to make every play look the same, whether you are getting the ball or not." As a first year Golden Bear, Tyler knows he may not touch the ball as many times as he would like. "Every level is a learning process and I'm starting out as a rookie. Every one around you is good, otherwise they wouldn't be there.

My goal is to be somebody that can be leaned on. I have to be ready to be the best I can be and then I know my time will come. It's about working hard all of the time." Tyler chose the Golden Bears because it allowed him a chance to be closer to home. "The people in Camrose have supported me and my family and being close to Camrose was part of the decision process," he added. "My mom

(Kathy) is my biggest fan, but is always pushing me to be better." Tyler will be enrolled in physical education and decide his major at a later date. He enjoys learning about nutrition and about the human body. "Another thing attracted me to the Golden Bears â€“ the new coaching staff. Chris Morris is a good coach. Rick Walters is the offensive coordinator and he was a good receiver, so I'm looking forward to working with him." Tyler credits the local community for getting him started in football. "It was exciting to be part of a developing program in Camrose," he stated. "When you get a group of men that will do anything for each other, it is amazing. I understand what it means to sacrifice and put someone else ahead of you. It is a team sport and it comes with maturity." When the opportunity arrives, Tyler wants to help the local football program as a way to give back for all the help he received in the past. The Golden Bears play in Edmonton on Sept. 7 at 5 p.m. against the UBC Thunderbirds; on Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. against the University of Regina Rams; on Sept. 28 at 5 p.m. against the University of Calgary Dinos; and they wrap up the regular season hosting the University of Manitoba Bisons on Oct. 26 at 5 p.m.

Our pet food can cost 5¢ or 10¢ more per serving

Riflescopes

The “difference” however, is worth much more! Want a healthier, happier pet? The easiest, less expensive way is to feed your dog or cat, higher quality foods. While “fillers” will make them feel full, they won’t provide optimum nutrition or the necessary vitamins and minerals for better coats, optimum organ function and overall health and well-being. That’s what we offer - typically for a tiny amount more.

Protect your family and vacation before you go. Battle River Community Foundation Director, Clarence Mastel, presented a cheque to Glenys Smith, Director and Chairperson, Camrose, of the Canadian Northern Society.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $250 to the Canadian Northern Society. This grant will assist in developing a Victory Garden as part of the Camrose Railway Station historically themed garden park. The park, including the Victory Garden when completed, is used in the Society’s school program, its historical interpretation program and in the Organic Master Gardener program. Victory Gardens were established throughout North America during both World Wars as part of the effort of Canadians and Americans to provide food for both soldiers and allies overseas. In Camrose, the Victory Gardens were planted on land adjacent to where the Railway Station is now located. The Canadian Northern Society is preserving prairie heritage through its collection of railway station sites, the Meeting Creek grain elevator site and unique interpretive activities and events.

The Camrose Railway Station and Park is located at 47 Avenue and 44 Street. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this in East Central Alberta, which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Some grant funding is also made available by generous donors who make annual gifts to the Battle River Community Foundation. Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $1,700,000 to support important local initiatives and organizations such as the Canadian Northern Society.

Prius C A car for first time buyers

Geoff Skakun By Dan Jensen

The new Prius C at Toyota City in Wetaskiwin demonstrates key vehicle attributes in a fun and approachable way that aims to appeal to firsttime car buyers looking for a fuel-efficient and techsavvy solution to their transportation needs. Buying a new car is a big decision and a new experience for many in the Prius C demographic. "We wanted to give our customers something entertaining and engaging, yet familiar, they could identify with while introducing a vehicle to help them navigate this new chapter in their lives," said Bill Fay, group vice president, marketing, Toyota. The Prius C joins the Prius family, which includes the third generation Prius, the Prius V and the Prius Plug-In Hybrid. The letter C in the moniker represents "city." It is designed to function as an urban friendly vehicle with an engaging driving experience, accessible price, and advanced in-car electronics. Prius C offers the highest city fuel efficiency rating of any vehicle without a plug. Attractive styling From the dynamic

front end with projector style halogen headlamps to the rear spoiler and sculpted rear flares, the Prius C cuts one sharp figure. Clean curves and crisp character lines combine to forge a unique-todrive personality, backed by Prius C's advanced drivetrain and engaging driving dynamics. Prius C's iconic triangular profile slices effortlessly through the air, enhancing both performance and fuel efficiency. A host of other aerodynamic features – like sharp "Aerocorners" near the bumpers – add to Prius C's f luid shape and help deliver a sports car worthy drag coefficient. The palette of colours from which to choose include Mandarin Orange Metallic, Summer Rain Metallic and premium paint Moonglow, along with Toyota originals including Blue Streak Metallic, Absolutely Red, Black Sand Pearl, Magnetic Grey Metallic, Classic Silver Metallic and Alpine White. Prius C's wheels are positioned close to the corners – creating an aggressive-looking stance that translates into more agile maneuverability. Putting

tires to tarmac are 15-inch steel wheels on Prius C, 15-inch alloys with wheel locks on Prius C Technology, and 16-inch alloys with wheel locks on the Premium package. Available features include fog lamps and a smart key system. Spacious interior The intriguingly spacious interior is set apart by quality materials – like the Soft Touch dash and available high quality SofTex synthetic leather – and a wide array of comfort, convenience and incar electronics. Touch Tracer controls display a duplicate image of the steering mounted switches on the standard LCD screen. Prius C's standard audio system features steering wheel mounted controls, four speakers, AM /FM /CD /MP3 / WMA playback, auxiliary audio jack, USB port with iPod connectivity, and Bluetooth hands-free phone capability. Prius C boasts a number of standard features not found in other vehicles in its class, like automatic climate control. Just set the desired temperature and let Prius C look after the rest. Premium features that

come standard include an LCD screen with multiinformation display, power door locks and windows, and tilt telescopic steering. Or, elevate the experience with available features like cruise control and the leather covered instrument panel (upgrade package), smart entry system and push button start (technology), and heated front seats, leather wrapped steering wheel, and power moonroof with sunshade (premium package). Performance Quick, agile and responsive, Prius serves control and joy in equal measure. Powered by Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, the most advanced system on the road, and the only one in the subcompact segment, Prius C gets you from A to B using a fraction of the fuel while leaving little sign of its passing. The system combines an advanced 1.5-litre four cylinder Atkinson Cycle gas engine with a powerful electric motor and a continuously variable transmission, specially adapted to Prius C's smaller platform. Together, Prius C's engine and hybrid battery generate 99 net horsepower, ideal for the urban landscape. Even

more impressive, Prius C delivers city and combined fuel consumption ratings of just 3.5 and 3.7 litres per 100 km, while dramatically lowering emissions. In addition to its normal driving mode, Prius C offers two additional driving options – ECO and EV – to help get the most out of every litre of fuel. ECO mode reduces overall energy consumption by controlling climate control and throttle to improve vehicle efficiency. EV mode enables Prius C to be driven solely by electric power for up to a kilometre when travelling below 40 km/h. Safety Toyota's Star Safety System features six advanced accident avoidance safety technologies – including anti-lock brake system, brake assist, electronic brakeforce distribution, vehicle stability control, traction control and Smart Stop technology. Toyota is the first full-line manufacturer to make all of the elements of the Star Safety System standard on every new vehicle. You can see the Toyota Prius C at Toyota City, 4120-56 Street, Wetaskiwin. Phone 780-352-2225 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

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.

Parliamentary Report Continued from page 38

These improvements help ensure that the Temporary Foreign Worker Program is only used as intended – to fill acute skill shortages on a temporary basis. That is exactly the way the program has always worked in our area of Alberta.

Our Conservative government is working to ensure the needs of Canadian employers are met and we can get the precise labourers we need – when we need them. While it is important to ensure that jobs are offered to Canadians first and that firms are prevented from

using the temporary worker program to outsource Canadian jobs, employers in our riding always underline for me the fact that anyone they have coming to Alberta from abroad with a pre-arranged job is poised for success and they will be contributing specifically to economic growth.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns, you may write me at 494550th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780608-4600, toll-free 1-800665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson. c1@parl.gc.ca.

Police Report

IS HIRING!

August 23

A caseworker with Alberta Child and Family Services advised that that office received a complaint of alleged family abuse involving a parent assaulting a 10-year-old son which had occurred approximately four to five weeks ago. The allegation consisted of the child being pushed by the parent and an alleged verbal threat uttered to the child. This matter is still under investigation. Police received a complaint from a lady who alleged her ex-husband had taken their four-year-old out of the city without her permission. Police located and spoke to both involved parents and learned there was a custody order in place with respect to the child in question. Upon review of the order police determined no breach of the order had occurred. Advice was provided to both parents in order to prevent any further misunderstandings in relation to custody and access in the future. An employee of an east end hotel reported one of the guests had caused damage to the room which the guest had rented. Police spoke to the involved parties which prompted a criminal investigation to determine if the damage was or not, criminal in nature. While conducting a Check Stop in the area of 48 Avenue and 73 Street police stopped and checked a motorist. Upon speaking to the occupants police entered into a Controlled and Drugs Substances Act investigation. Police located a small quantity of cannabis marihuana and brass knuckles in the possession of the driver – a 35-yearold male. The man was charged with Possession of Prohibited Weapon, Carrying a Concealed Weapon and Unlawful Possession of Cannabis Marihuana. August 22 A man contacted police and reported he had hired a contractor to perform work at his residence which was completed satisfactorily; however the complainant felt suspicious of the contractor’s company. Police spoke with the involved contractor and learned the company did not possess a City of Camrose business license. The business dealings between the complainant and contractor had been fulfilled; both parties were satisfied. Due to the contractor not acquiring a business license for the City of Camrose police issued a summons to the contractor for operating a business without a business license.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM

Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the Cityâ€™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.

Murray Green, Camrose Booster Kathy Fortier, left, presented $250 to Camrose Relay for Life organizers, Christine Palmerchuk and Janice Maier, to give to the Canadian Cancer Society. The Relay for Life will be held at the Camrose Composite High School on June 20, 2014. By Murray Green

Kathy Fortier was not only excited about going to Parry Sound, Ontario, for a family reunion on Aug. 3, she wanted to support a worthy cause at the same time. The local resident is one of 16 children in her family and they have been hit hard by cancer. "I put together a collage of pictures of every one in our family with our parents in the middle," explained Kathy, who has lived in Camrose for eight years. "We sold tickets for a raffle to decide who would get the picture. In the process we raised $250 and I wanted it to go to breast cancer research." Kathy wanted to make a picture to mark the special occasion. "I couldn't afford to make pictures for everyone, so I thought raffling it off would be a good idea. We sold three tickets for $5 and we ended up with $250," said an excited Kathy. "My younger sister won it, so that was good. I wish more people did something like this at family reunions." The picture of her parents is from 1954. In a circle around them in order of birth are her brothers and sisters. Kathy is a breast cancer survivor. "I had an operation last December and things have been going good since then. I want to do more to help with cancer and breast cancer," she said. "I have two nieces who have been affected by breast cancer and two nephews' wives as well. I lost three brothers to cancer and another one that I don't know how long he will last. That's why it is a big deal for me to raise funds for cancer." The funds were donated to Camrose Relay for Life organizers Christine Palmerchuk and Janice Maier, who in turn passed them on the Canadian Cancer Society. Next year's Relay for Life is scheduled for June 20 at the Camrose Composite High school. Visit web site www. relayforlife.ca for more information.

Grant for Ski Club

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.

Cygnets do tests

This spring, the Camrose Cygnets' Recreational Girls' group held their annual star testing. Girls who successfully completed all the required elements are pictured with their coach, Karli Stordahl. Back, left to right: Grayce Flemming, Star 1; Kyla Church, Star 2; Chloe Froehler, Star 1. Front, left to right: Lindsay Maslin, Star 1; Sarah Flipchuk, Star 2; and Holly Kyriacou, Star 1. The synchronized swim club meets Saturday mornings. The girls are ages five and up.

The Camrose Kodiaks needed another defenceman, so they traded for Davin Stener. Davin played for the Grande Prairie Storm last season. The 19-year-old earned a scholarship to the University of Alaska Fairbanks and is excited about becoming a Kodiak.

Ty Clay, a 20-year-old forward with the Kodiaks, has been traded to the Okotoks Oilers for future considerations. Kirsten Odendaal, 20, has committed to play for the Red Deer College Kings for the upcoming season. “We are very happy for Kirsten as he is a bright young man and has a great future ahead

of him," said Boris Rybalka, Kodiaks' coach and general manager. "We wish Kirsten the best of luck in his new beginning and congratulate him on this accomplishment as he begins this new chapter of his life. We also congratulate his parents on raising a fine young man, well done.”
