The CAMROSE BOOSTER, September 3, 2013 – Page 4
Tour of Alberta ready to roll into Camrose By Dan Jensen
One hundred and twenty world-class cyclists racing at speeds up to 60 to 70 km/h, a helicopter recording all the action from above for a worldwide television audience, cowbell clanging spectators lining the streets, and a festival with games, entertainment and an awards ceremony. That will be the scene tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept. 4) when Camrose hosts the finishing stage of the Tour of Alberta's first leg. "I still can't believe it is going to happen," said Tour of Alberta Camrose organizing committee chair Todd Markowsky. "It is almost a bit of a dream." The cyclists will be arriving in Camrose at approximately 2:30 to 3 p.m., depending on the wind and the strategy that the teams will be using on the day. After travelling south on Highway 833, they will turn left on 50 Avenue, right on main street, right on 44 Avenue to Rudy Swanson Park, north on 53 Street, right on Highway 13, left on 51 Street and then right again on 50 Avenue. "The great thing about the race is that people will be able to be right on the course and watch for free," said Markowsky. "Many of the vehicles that will be escorting the riders will be bled off during the circuit." The expected finishing time at Rudy Swanson Park will be 3:30 p.m. SportsNet will be providing live television coverage between 2 and 4 p.m., followed by a one-hour recap of the race in prime time. "We're going to have two jumbotrons set up in the finishing area on which people will be able to watch the race unfold," said Markowsky. As the Camrose finishing leg is the first on the Tour of Alberta, the cyclists will be fresh and excited. "My suspicion is that they will be going hard and wanting to set the pace," said Markowsky. "It is going to be very
taxing on anyone who wants to break away from the pack, especially on the Camrose circuit, which features a lot of corners and climbs." The Tour of Alberta is coming at the end of the 2013 racing season, so most of cyclists will be in peak condition. "They are incredibly lean, fast and efficient," said Markowsky. The Tour of Alberta lineup includes 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans, of BMC Racing Team, the current world number two ranked rider Peter Sagan, of Cannondale Pro Cycling, and 2012 Tour of Italy winner and Canadian Ruder Hesjedal, of Team Garmin-Sharp. "We're elated to announce the participation of some of the world's top cyclists, which confirms our intentions of making this a great field in the inaugural year of the tour," said Tour of Alberta executive director Duanne Vienneau. "To have former Tour de France winner Cadel Evans, one of the one of the most prolific winners today in professional cycling in Peter Sagan, and Canadian
cycling hero and a Tour of Italy champion Ryder Hesjedal in the same race is amazing, and will make for a spectacular experience for everyone involved.” Among the other top riders are current Canadian national champion Zach Bell and 2012 Canadian national champion Ryan Roth, both of Champion System; current U.S. national champion Fred Rodriguez; former Tour of Utah stage winner Jacob Keough of the UnitedHealthcare team; Edmonton native Ryan Anderson and current U.S. time trial champion Tom Zirbel, both of Optum presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies; Will Routley of the Canadian national team; and Spaniard Francisco Mancebo, a former Tour of Utah winner and top 10 Tour de France finisher, riding for 5 Hour Energy p/b Kenda Racing Team. The race will feature more than 20 professional cyclists from Canada and athletes from more than 20 countries. The Tour of Alberta is a result of efforts by the Alberta Paleton Association. "They wanted with their
first effort to secure communities that would be a great showcase for their race," said Markowsky. "They chose Camrose as the finishing stage for the first leg because they knew we had a great reputation for hosting events. The reason they asked me to head the Camrose committee was that they knew I was an avid and enthusiastic cyclist." Markowsky has been very impressed with how the people of Camrose and the business community have stepped forward to support and volunteer for the finishing leg. "They have embraced it and are excited about it. The organizing committee has gone above and beyond expectations to showcase this opportunity for Camrose." While the intent is to move the race around Alberta, Markowsky said there is a good possibility it could be coming back to Camrose in a future year. "If we put on a show like we expect to and it goes well, it bodes very well for a return." Sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI),
cycling’s governing body with a 2.1 ranking, the Tour of Alberta is one of the highest level pro cycling events in Canada and North America. "Most communities in Canada have never seen anything like this," said Markowsky. "There have been pro-cycling races in Canada but they have been one day events. There has never been a professional stage race where the cyclists go from day to day." Tour Alberta Festival
A Tour of Alberta festival will be held at the Camrose Recreation Centre from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. "It's going to be an event similar to the one when Camrose welcomed the Olympic Games torch," said Camrose organizing committee member Kevin Gurr. "We're going to have a kids' zone with face painting and balloon art, entertainment, beer gardens and food vendors and a number of exhibitors. It should be a real carnival atmosphere."
Interesting facts about the Tour of Alberta and cycling Cyclists in the Tour of Alberta will race more than 150 kilometers per day for six days; there are no rest stops or time outs. Cyclists in the Tour of Alberta will average approximately 40 kilometers per hour over the course of the 1,000-plus kilometers they will race. The cyclists in the Tour of Alberta have raced more than 100 days in more than 20 countries. Athletes from more than 20 countries will participate in the Tour of Alberta The Tour of Alberta will feature five teams that have participated in the Tour de France in July or Tour of Italy in May. The Tour of Alberta is perfectly situated between
Cyclists can hit speeds of up to 75 kilometres per hour on the flats sprinting toward the finish line. the current top North American events: the USA Pro Cycling Challenge in Colorado, Aug. 19 to 25, and the UCI World Cups in Montreal and Quebec, Sept. 13 to 15. The Tour of Alberta will be the province’s first major professional cycling race and be the biggest stage race in the history of the country. Top Canadians
Canada’s Ryder Hesjedal became the first Canadian
to win a Grand Tour (the historic big three Tours of France, Italy and Spain). Eight-time Canadian national champion Svein Tuft won the silver medal at the 2008 world championships, the first Canadian since 1980s. Canada’s Steve Bauer led the Tour de France for five days in 1988 and 10 days in 1991, making him a national sports hero; he finished fourth overall in the Tour de France in 1988. Bauer won the silver medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in road cycling. Alex Stieda, a member of the Tour of Alberta board of directors, was the first North American to lead the Tour de France in 1986.
Cyclists and Food
Professional cyclists can eat as much as 10,000 calories a day during a race like the Tour of Alberta. Most cyclists eat a strong combination of protein and carbohydrates to replenish the energy that exert after a five-hour, 160-kilometer a day race. Pre-race and during race, cyclists drink caffeinated-laced beverages to provide an extra boost of energy while racing, including noncarbonated Coke. Most professional cyclists are very stringent on their calorie intake, sometimes weighing food, all in the name of keeping weight down. The Science of Cycling
Cyclists in the Tour of
Alberta or Tour de France will hit speeds of up to 100 kilometres per hour descending the biggest mountain passes. The average elite tire that professionals use is less than one inch in thickness. Cyclists can hit speeds of up to 75 kilometres per hour on the flats sprinting toward the finish line. Most professional cyclists will average a cadence of 90 to 110 revolutions per minute. An average five-hour day of racing produces more than 27,000 revolutions. The average bicycle for the top professionals weighs 15 to 16 pounds and costs around $10,000. Most are made of space age carbon fiber and titanium alloys. Continued on page 5

All professional cyclists are mandated to wear crash helmets. Most helmets weigh less than a pound. Cyclists have “power meters” on their bikes that monitor cadence, heart rate, power output, distance traveled, calories burned, and more, all of
which is downloaded post race and analyzed on computers. Lactate thresholds and acids, which include most blood panels, are analyzed during long three-week races like the Tour de France, preventing illnesses and priming racers for a new day of competition.

County not ready for talks on sharing tax revenue By Dan Jensen
County council has declined an invitation from Camrose mayor Marshall Chalmers to begin discussions on the sharing of taxation revenue from the proposed new Cargill facility. "The more we learn the more we want to know about this idea of (taxation) sharing," explained County Reeve Don Gregorwich in a meeting involving both City and County councils at the Golf Course Aug. 28. "We are just going to keep gathering information and as time goes on we will put together
a strategy. I think going any further (today) would not be appropriate given the fact there is so much material to consider. Future planning is tremendously important to all of us." County councillor Vern Peterson said the sharing of taxation revenue is too broad to tackle at this time because there are issues other than just Cargill that need to be considered. "I am hoping that future councils will get down to that because you know what, we take on a lot of traffic from our pipe mills. There are a lot of things that need to be
discussed if you are going to open that door." Councillor Doug Lyseng indicated he would like the County to be able to present facts and figures to the City that are not currently available. Reeve Gregorwich said a better time for discussions may be two years from now, at which time the new Cargill plant is expected to be up and running. "We have no idea outside of an estimate when it is going to be completed, but we assume that it is going to take a minimum of 18 months. At that time we may have some idea of its value."
Camrose City council had been hoping to have all matters related to the Cargill plant – sharing of taxation, water and sewer – cleared up before the end of its current three-year term in October. "There have been many discussions with Cargill and it was our hope that all the agreements, including the agreement with the County, could be brought to council in one package," said Mayor Chalmers. "If the County isn't prepared to enter discussions that is fine. We will move forward at the appropriate time."
Camrose County council has proposed the idea of revenue sharing as a way of compensating the City of Camrose for the impact the Cargill plant, located west of the Tillicum Beach Road, would have on the City's infrastructure. "There are several examples throughout the province where regions share in the taxation revenue because of the impacts on both communities," said Mayor Chalmers. "I believe Fort Saskatchewan and Strathcona County had a taxation revenue sharing agreement on some of the projects that they had."
Markowsky has cycling in his blood By Dan Jensen
Tour of Alberta Camrose organizing committee chair Todd Markowsky has had a lifetime love affair with cycling. "I have been riding since I was five years old," said Markowsky. "My first bike was a CCM Fastback 100. It gave me the freedom to get out and explore and be with my friends." Markowsky started to ride competitively in triathlons in 1989. "I enjoyed every part of the sport but the cycling was my favourite," he said. Markowsky currently races for a club out of Edmonton by the name of Juvantus. Two weekends ago he won the Category 5 provincial time trial. "I usually race in four major races throughout the year," he said. In 2010 Markowsky experienced the Tour de France route as a cycling tourist. "I rode three of the stages in the Pyrenees (a range of mountains in southwest Europe that forms a natural border between France and Spain) before the Tour de France started, and was able to be a spectator as the race went by," he said. "It was an incredibly exciting experience to see the enthusiasm of the community and the public and how they embraced the race. A lot of people plan their holidays around the race and camp out by the side of the road so they can cheer the riders on." Markowsky was also a spectator on the final day of the race, when the cyclists sped down the Champs-Elysees in Paris. "I watched at the finish line as the athletes celebrated the finish of 21 days of racing," he said. "It was a phenomenal experience seeing the business owners and tourists lining the avenue to celebrate what was an incredible accomplishment."
GOLF TOURNAMENT SPONSOR OF THE YEAR

Six staff from Scotiabank volunteered at the Open Door golf tournament, operating the putting green. A total of $500 was raised from the "sale of putts", an amount that was matched by Scotiabank to make for a total donation to the Open Door of $1,000. Pictured with Shauna and Linda are: left to right, front, Carol Boos, Ashley Comfort, Dustin Muise, Cheryle Jacobsen, Karen Busch, Kim Lainey, Linda McBlain.

CLBI begins new year with higher enrolment By Dan Jensen
Students at Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute in Camrose will begin new year of academic studies this Thursday with a canoe and hiking trip. "They'll be studying the book of Exodus while paddling the North Saskatchewan area and hiking in the area west of Nordegg," said CLBI president Harold Rust. "The classes on campus won't start until Sept. 12." CLBI has a current enrolment of 55 students, up from 47 last fall. Thirty-seven are in their first year, 13 are in their second and five are in their third. "The third year students are interns who will be gathering practical experience," said Rust. "One will be in Viking doing youth and church related ministry, another will be in Saskatoon working with inner city youth with Youth for Christ, and one will be working with youth in Fort St. John." The other two interns will
be doing youth and music ministry in Camarillo, California. Six of the students will be spend part of the fall in the CLBI Foundations program at Wilderness Ranch near Pincher Creek. "They study different books of the bible and elements of the Christian life, the same as students who are in Camrose, but it is done in a more rustic setting," said Rust. "The atmosphere is more related and the instructors are able to give personal attention to them if they have any questions." All 13 second year students will be participating in an International Ministry of Prayer and Cross Cultural Training program starting in January, 2014, either helping with reconciliation efforts between Israelis and Palestinians, working at an orphanage in Ethiopia, or working in a growing church in Mongolia. "The students who are part of IMPACT are able to obtain hands-on experience
in the field of mission work," said Rust. CLBI grants a Bachelor of Christian Studies degrees to students who, after the two years in Camrose and the internship program, obtain a year's worth of credits from a recognized college or university. "Students who have the Bachelor of Christian Studies degree usually get involved in ministries in various congregations or go on to seminaries," said Rust. "Many of our students have attended seminary programs at ACTS Seminary in Langley, B.C., Regent College in Vancouver, Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon, Concordia in Edmonton or the Lutheran Brethren Seminary in Minnesota." CLBI has always been successful in attracting students from around the world. "We have two Americans this year, one from California and one from Hawaii, as well as one student who has come from Switzerland," said Rust.
Alumni involvement
CLBI alumni and friends will be travelling to San Pedro (part of Los Angeles) in January, where they will spend two to three weeks assisting local churches with Bible classes and outreach for college students. "We had hoped to do the program last year but found we needed more lead-up time," said Rust. "With two interns in the Los Angeles area, the churches felt the time was right to proceed." A program that will be continued again this year is the popular CLBI Plus. "Once a month, starting Sept. 26, we are going to be inviting people from the community to come in for supper and afterwards take in an interesting lecture from one of our guest instructors," said Rust. "In January we will be welcoming Hans Weichbrodt, a Swedish Lutheran pastor who has been a speaker at the Breakforth Conference in Edmonton."

Hunting advice for beginners The best way to start your hunting career is to be supervised by someone who will help you discover the secrets of hunting, the best hunting grounds, tactics and tricks of the trade, but especially the taste for adventure. The majority of beginners start under the supervision of a family member or a group of friends. But what should you do if you are alone? In the first place, you have to have the passion and the desire to invest in this activity. Everything starts in school; that’s to say by taking a course in how to handle a firearm, or a course and a skilltesting exam for the bow and arrow, with the purpose of obtaining a hunting certificate. With that in mind, it is important to pass the course well in advance of the hunting season in
"Everything starts in school, that’s to say by taking a course in how to handle a firearm, or a course and a skill-testing exam for the bow and arrow, with the purpose of obtaining a hunting certificate." order to get the certificate (plasticized card) allowing you to purchase your license in time for the beginning of the season. During your classes, the other students will also be beginners and, by socializing with your classmates, you could easily develop friendly relations with someone and be invited to hunt with this new friend. He is perhaps luckier than you in having a family member or friend to supervise his first expeditions. The same tactic can be used at the archery club that you go to. Hunters are generous and if you are a good sport, you could receive that invitation that you are waiting for. Finally, talk about your new passion to your family and friends. Wordof-mouth can sometimes get you a long way and you could end up discovering a hunting companion you didn’t know about,
who shares the same passion as you. If you don’t succeed in finding a hunting partner, you’ll have to make the decision of hunting alone which, for security’s sake, is not recommended. If hunting migratory birds interests you, employ reputable, professional guides. It sometimes happens that they have places to fill in their groups. Don’t hesitate to tell them that you are a beginner and want to learn. With the experience gained from the advice you will receive, you will progress quickly and it’s quite possible that you’ll be invited to stay with the group. For small game hunting, you can hunt by the day at an outfitter or in a park. You can hunt alone but you must have a good sense of direction. Hunt with someone who perhaps doesn’t like hunting but who enjoys walking in the woods. It can be more complicated for big game hunting (moose, caribou, elk, deer) as in some areas of Canada moose hunting has to be done in a group because of the minimum number of licenses required for slaughtering. You could also look for ads placed by hunters looking for one or more partners. If you answer this kind of invitation, be sure to find out about all the conditions of the hunt and especially about the character of the other members of the group. It’s better to abstain if you don’t share the same objectives or values. For bear hunting, go to an outfitter. This is an individual sport and your guide will have been supplying a bait site for a long time. Your hide will be strong and well situated. Finally, if you’re lucky, an employee could help you take your game out of the woods and show you how to dispose of the slaughtered animal. The same thing applies to hunting for deer and caribou. To start your hunting career, make the most of each additional experience to develop a network of contacts, allowing you to practice your sport in a rewarding and secure manner.

Ensuring a safe hunt Weeklies Toolbox
1. Do you possess a valid hunting license for your game? 2. Is the season for your game open and what is the set quota? 3. Do you know the territory well enough to avoid getting lost? Do you have a map or GPS? 4. What is the weather forecast for that day? 5. Are you fit enough and is your boat or ATV in good working order? 6. Do you have suitable clothing for all possible types of bad weather? 7. Have you packed some extra food just in case? 8. Is your weapon in good condition, cleaned, and ready to be used? 9. Have you packed all the other necessary equipment: binoculars, bullets, hunter orange gear? 10. Have you made sure that someone else knows where you’re planning to hunt and when you’ll be back? To have the best hunting experience possible, follow the rules, pack the necessary equipment, and, most importantly of all, act with safety in mind at all times. Photo by Sandy French This group of young ducklings is very late this year. Just newly hatched at the end of July, they have a tough road ahead. It usually takes about two and a half months for them to get to the stage where they are able to fly to safety, which could take them to the middle of October.
Photo by Sandy French These ducklings were trying to get on a ledge at Bill Fowler Centre.
Attraction of hunting Everyone has his or her own idea of what hunting is, but let’s look at several points together which are often mentioned when a hunter is asked what he likes about his pastime. The first thing that people who don’t hunt or who are anti-hunting will say is that a hunter participates in this activity to kill an animal and then store the meat in his freezer. Of course, the catching of game is an aim and tasting the meat without wasting any is a question of respecting nature. But there is much more to hunting than that. For many, this pastime helps them to get away from the daily routine: escaping into the wilds of nature is like getting back to their roots. Strolling through the forest, checking the territory, daydreaming, is worth more than shooting the gun. Meeting with members of the group, making new friends, using new hunting tactics and preparing several months in advance are as much a part of the hunting trip as the few days that it lasts. And what about respect for nature and the environment? You should know that the people who are the first to defend animals are hunters who, worried about the decrease in the amount of game, have encouraged governments to take steps to protect the herds. Respect of the environment is a concern of the hunter. Lastly, if hunting trips are not always successful in terms of game, the experience is always rewarding thanks to the dynamics of the group, the quest for the dream, relaxing moments and the challenge of the hunt when the game approaches and then disappears. Finally, what hunters love about this activity is a bit of all this: an escape from daily life, deep in the forest, in search of an animal much more cunning than us and always difficult to track.
With hunting and fishing season well underway, many enthusiasts are out on the water. Most of them are familiar with the dangers associated with these activities and are always careful to respect the safety rules. But do they know what to do on board a pleasure craft like a canoe, a launch or a small motorboat? From 2007-10, nearly 40 per cent of boaters who died were hunters and anglers. Most were not wearing a lifejacket at the time. In fall, when water and air temperatures drop substantially, falling into cold water can be fatal. From the first seconds in the water, your breathing rate increases and becomes very difficult to control. There is a risk of water entering the lungs, making you drown. Although this reaction is stronger in cold water, it can happen in water that is 20°C, or even 25°C. When people remain in the water for long, they gradually lose motor control. At this stage, even the best swimmers have no advantage over others. Wearing a life-jacket greatly increases your chances of survival. It keeps your head above water and allows you to gradually regain control of your breathing. It helps you remain afloat and slows down loss of body heat when the coordination of your movements becomes increasingly difficult. You should always wear your lifejacket for it to actually work. Once you are in the water, struggling to survive, it will be of no use to you if it's in your boat or is carried away by the current. There is a wide range of personal flotation devices on the market. To make it easier for searchers to find you in case of distress, opt for a red, orange or yellow PFD. Choose a model that is comfortable and certified by Transport Canada. It's an investment for life! Overloading a boat is one of the most common causes of boating accidents. Before you leave, make sure you don't exceed the maximum recommended load for your boat. It's indicated on the boat's Compliance Notice. Reducing your boat's load will lower the risk of submerging or capsizing, especially in difficult conditions. You should also maintain the lowest possible centre of gravity, and distribute people and equipment so that the boat remains stable. Always use your judgement. Before leaving, tell a responsible person your itinerary.

Camerata choir wins top national award after provincial title By Murray Green Camrose Camerata completed the hat trick of musical awards this year. The adult choir was a hit at the Camrose and District Music Festival and earned the coveted Lions Rose Bowl. Then the local adult chamber choir placed first in the provincial level competition for choirs aged 19 and older with more than 12 members. "Winning the Lions Rose Bowl was great. Then we were recommended to enter our music at the provincial competition," said director Joy-Anne Murphy. "We were nominated to go to provincials before, even though we didn't win the Rose Bowl." After winning the provincial competition, the recording was automatically submitted to the national event. Camerata also won the national award. "We had to submit a live recording that was done in only one take. We had to have a witness. After I thought, we could have done this better, or improved in this area," said Joy-Anne. "The same recording with 19 singers and a piano player was sent
to nationals held at Sir Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario." Camerata played five songs at the local music festival. Two of the songs were recorded for the provincial and national competitions. The group sang "To Sing in Winter" by Robert Bowker and "Sure on This Shining Night" by Morten Lauridsen. "When we won the Rose Bowl at the final concert we sang the Lauridsen piece," added Joy-Anne. "It was a pleasant surprise to win the Rose Bowl. When we entered provincials we were aware that some little things could have been done better, so not we were really sure what to expect. When we won provincials I was overjoyed because I wasn't expecting it. It was great and exciting, and it even came with a plaque. The award also came with two prizes of $250 each." The funds will be used for some special concerts and activities to mark the choir's 10th anniversary. "We want to have a concert in April with the choir and an orchestra, so we

need some funds to pay for that," added Joy-Anne. The choir will also receive something by winning the national Barbara A. Hagerman. "We think it is $500, but we are not sure yet. We are overwhelmed and the whole choir is thrilled. We are looking forward to the coming year. In January, we will be performing some of our best songs over the years and then on April 13, we will have a concert with the small orchestra at 7 p.m. in the Messiah Church." Camerata would like
past members to be part of the group for the January 11 concert. "We are always looking for a few more people in the choir. If you want to sing, this is a good year to join because we will be having some additional activities," she said. "It is beautiful music and extra voices are nice. We especially could use some more men." Plans for the year include the annual Lessons and Carols in December, a January concert in which the choir will sample favourite songs from throughout its

Rose City Swingers learn dances By Dan Jensen
The Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club will be looking to add new members at the seventh annual Community Registration Night in Camrose Sept. 5. The Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club will be holding a potluck supper and dance in mid October before new dancers start their lessons at the Mirror Lake Centre auditorium in November. "We start the meetings with lessons for new dancers and then alternate between the mainstream dancers and the beginners," said Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club past president Wayne Lowther. The Rose City Square Dance Club's callers since 1983 have been Allan and Olive Zwierschke, from the Holden area. "They gauge the dancers in the room and adjust their calls accordingly," said Lowther," who has been dancing for 32 years. "If there are more seasoned dancers than beginner dancers they will do more advanced calls." New dancers learn about four or five different moves or routines every meeting. "By the end of the year they have learned about 50 new moves," said Lowther. The Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club had 50 members last year. "Half of our club members attend the meetings about ninety per cent of the time," said Lowther. If a dancer chooses to dance the whole evening he would dance more than five km." Lowther said the benefits of belonging to the Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club are many.
"It is a good way to relax, learn some new things, get exercise and enjoy fellowship with others. We always end our meetings with a coffee time or lunch." The Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club has performed at several events in recent years, including the Canada Day celebration, Founders Days and 100th anniversary celebrations in Donalda. The club also visits about 10 other square dance clubs throughout the year. "We have a little tradition when we meet with other clubs that involves stealing their mascot," said Lowther. "If they want to get their mascot back they have to pay a visit to our club." The club helps prepare and serve the Christmas dinner for Sparling School students and staff. The Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club was started in 1980 after a square dance jamboree that was held in conjunction with the Alberta Senior Games. Sparling School was obtained for Friday night dances and Wilf and Joan West were acquired as the caller couple. The club adopt-
ed the graceful swan "Cutie" as its mascot in the early spring of 1982. The official club dress was voted to be black shirts, white blouses with a rose, red belt and red crinoline for the ladies. The first year saw seven squares dancing. A new Dancers' Jamboree was held the first Sunday afternoon in March (an event that has become an annual affair), and the first summer campout was held in August 1983. The club received the Central Square and Round Dance Association President's Award in 1982 in recognition of its hard work and enthusiasm in attending other club functions. The Rose City Swingers celebrated its 30th anniversary on Nov. 7, 2010. Charter members who are still with the club are Lowther, Bill and Gladys Douglas, and Rudy and Vivian Selin. The Rose City Swingers Square Dance Club participates in the Central Alberta Square and Round Dancers' Association, which organizes events that allows square dancers to have fun and share ideas.
Children's choir prepares for new season By Murray Green
Singing in a choir is good for your health. "There are so many ways that being part of a choir can improve our overall health and well-being," said director Joy-Anne Murphy. "As the summer begins to wind down and everyone in the family is looking at activities for this school year, the Camrose and Area Children's Choirs invite everyone to consider joining us for a wonderful season of Songs of Freedom; music from movements that have changed our world." The junior choir for children in Grades 1 to 3 is held on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Camrose United Church. The senior choir is for youth in Grades 4 to 9 and follows at 6:45 to 8:15 p.m. on Tuesdays. Advanced Vivo Cantando ensemble, for those in Grades 5 to 12, are held on Wednes-
days from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Auditions will be held. The choirs will explore music from the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa and around the world, songs from the American Civil Rights Movement, and delve into some spirituals from the years of the underground railway to Canada. "All of this in a rehearsal process teaches basic musicianship. We bring in clinicians, take singers to worldclass events, and perform in and around the Camrose area," added Joy-Anne. Most school-aged children in Camrose receive very little time in music classes and often extra-curricular groups are limited to a quick 20-minute rehearsal once a week if they are lucky. "By joining choir, you give your child the benefits of a solid musical foundation as well as the confidence that comes from successful public performances," she said.
Joy-Anne gives details on some of the benefits you gain from singing with a choir. "You activate new areas of your brain. All kinds of regions light up when learning new skills such as reading music, discovering how to listen carefully for blend and tuning, learning how to follow cues and working in synchronization with the group. Plus, you learn all about how to use the amazing instrument that you carry inside you," she added. "Participating in choir allows children to develop increased confidence, while learning physical and emotional skills that may even help reduce anxiety, stress and depression. In choir, singers find a place where they belong while doing what they love." You can improve your health. Singing in a choir has been shown to improve one's sense of well-being and one's capacity to manage breath/
lung function, which cascades into helping heart function and even pain management. Relaxation techniques are also often easier to undertake once breathing for singing becomes natural. "The challenge and joy of singing in a group may be just the lift your child needs. Singing is a wonderful release and opportunity to express your thoughts and feelings through music and your voice," said Joy-Anne. Children's choir registrations are available now on the web site and can be completed by e-mail, or by contacting JoyAnne. Registration also takes place at the Community Registration Night on Thursday, Sept 5. The upcoming season rehearsals begin on Sept. 10. For more information, visit www.camrosesings.ca or phone Joy-Anne at 780-6723372. Both Camerata and the children's choirs will be at the bike tour finish line on Sept. 4 as part of the entertainment.

Craft Centre members pursue their passions By Dan Jensen
The Camrose and District Craft Centre has been helping Camrose and area residents pursue their interests in woodworking, pottery and weaving since 1954. "We have about 45 members and five instructors at the current time and are always looking to add more," said Camrose and District Craft Centre president Lois Larson. Camrose and District Craft Centre has gathered an impressive collection of equipment in its space on the second level of the Camrose Community Centre, including two kilns, eight pottery wheels, 12 to 14 looms, table, band and scroll saws. "Members who sign up for a half year or full year are able to come in and use the equipment whenever it suits them," said Camrose Craft Centre president Lois Larson. "They also enjoy the camaraderie with like-minded enthusiastic craftsmen." Camrose and District Craft Centre offers several core courses in pottery, weaving and woodworking
for beginner, advanced and intermediate artisans. Pottery core courses run Mondays from 7 to 10 p.m., Tuesdays from 6 to 9 p.m., and Wednesdays from 1 to 3 p.m. Weaving courses for the intermediate and advanced run Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. "The weavers work in groups of two to three and work on a variety of projects," states the Craft Centre registration form. Weaving courses for beginners run Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. Woodworking instruction is offered Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1 to 3 p.m. and Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. "The people involved with woodworking are able to offer assistance for any of the projects you would like to complete," said Larson. "They have a large work area so they are able to do everything from bookcases and stereo cabinets to kitchen cabinets." The Centre also offers short courses for adults on beginning spinning, felted stone soap, kumihimo (eight strand round braid and

flat braid) silk fusion, wire beaded earrings, weaving software (fibreworks). Short courses for kids include Pottery for Kids, Pottery Slabwork, Bead Loom, Kumihimo, Gellted Stone Soap and Fibre for Kids – weaving. "The courses for the kids aged 8 to 12 are new this year," said Larson. Camrose and District Craft Centre has been fortu-
nate over the years to have a number of volunteer instructors who enjoy sharing their expertise with others. "I don't know what we would do without them," said Larson. "Our volunteers do the bulk of the teaching." Camrose and District Craft Centre members have the opportunity to sell finished products at a number of events throughout the year.
"We will be having our big sale on November 15 and 16 here at the Craft Centre, and will be participating in the Fair Trade Locally Made event at Augustana," said Larson. "We will also be having a sale at the Craft Centre for two nights a week in the few weeks leading up to Christmas." The November craft sale has gained a solid reputation as being a place to buy unique and quality products that make great Christmas gifts. "At the sale last November we had people lined up all the way from our doors to the elevator," said Larson. One of the challenges facing Camrose and District Craft Centre is the high cost of rent. "We try to offset the costs with things like the 50/50 draw at the sale but it is still pretty high," said Larson. "We have a lovely facility but it costs a lot to rent." Anyone interested in joining Camrose and District Craft Centre may register by calling 780-679-1631 or 780672-2551.

Work nearly finished on Zetsen charity home By Dan Jensen
Work is nearing completion on the home Zetsen Master Builders is building in support of the Battle River Community Foundation. "We are about three weeks away from being finished," said Zetsen Master Builders owner Garry Zetsen. "Everything is falling into place and the schedule is still on track." The home will have a large shopping list full of features that are sure to excite any family, including four bedrooms, a front office area, and a pass through pantry. "It is a brand new model, one that we haven't done before," said Zetsen. "Nobody else has a home like it so it will be very unique and appealing." The home also boasts one of the best locations in the City. "You only have to walk a short distance to access the Camrose trail system," said Zetsen. Zetsen Master Builders is receiving help from members of the Camrose construction community who are providing discounts on materials on materials and labour in order to maximize the amount that can be donated to Battle River Community Foundation once the home is sold. "We have received tremendous buy-in from craftsmen and artisans, suppliers and sub-suppliers," said Zetsen. "I am

astrounded by the generosity the building community is showing. Nobody says no. We have people in this community with very big hearts." Zetsen Master Builders realized a profit of $90,000 from its last charity home three years ago. "As a competitive guy I think we can beat that number," said Zetsen. "I am sure we can do $60,000 but the competitive side of me says we have to beat the last total." Battle River Community Foundation will use one third of the sales proceeds to establish an endowment fund that will support the Camrose Minor Sports
Association, the umbrella group for Minor Hockey, Minor Ball, the Camrose and District Soccer Association, and the Camrose Skating Club. "The money will go towards helping youth get involved in sports," said Zetsen, who saw his children participate in CMSA programs. "The Camrose minor sports system and the facilities that we have here is part of what makes Camrose great." Involvement in sports is an integral part of child development and teaches youth to lead active, healthy lives while developing many of the fundamental skills necessary for a child
to succeed. A Sport Canada survey of 1,005 Canadian youth, aged 12 to 21, found that their involvement in sports improved their health (99 per cent); helped them make friends (87 per cent); improved their feelings about themselves (85 per cent); helped them succeed at school (58 per cent); and helped them become more active with their family (54 per cent). "Numerous studies of social cohesion have found that sport and community recreation play a key role in life in a city, and that recreation and sports facilities contribute to a child’s integration into his or her community surroundings,"
states a report by Let Kids Play. "Sport provides pleasure for children and gives them the opportunity to meet new people and make new friendships, breaking the isolated mould many low income and underprivileged youth fall under. Children develop a sense of self-belonging and confidence through social cohesion. Participation in sport improves the development of peer relationships, establishes the notion of trust and builds teamwork skills. Sports challenge children to excel physically and mentally, and teach valuable skills such as leadership, hard work and perseverance which translate beyond the playing field to all aspects of life, whether it be in the classroom, at work, or in the community." CMSA members are able to raise funds that are ultimately distributed back to the four associations by volunteering time in one of the various concessions that are operated by CMSA or volunteering at the casino when awarded by Albrta Gaming and Liquor Control. With the volunteer help and support from the four association membership in the concession and other fundraising endeavours, CMSA has been able to return to the four associations close to $200,000 since 1998. This has helped the associations offset expenditures such as registration costs, field, floor and ice rental.

Local runners excel in Edmonton Marathon August 25 By Murray Green
Camrose runners had a good day at the Edmonton Marathon on Sunday, Aug. 25. Lucas McAneney of Toronto won the event in 2:26:22 and placed ahead of Jason Loutitt of Vancouver and local Camrose runner Brendan Lunty.
Brendan had a good time of 2:35:35, but McAneney set a fast pace on a warm morning. Augustana Vikings assistant cross-country running coach Robert Renman finished in seventh place and Ian Blokland crossed the line right behind him in
eighth spot to give Camrose three runners in the top 10. If there was a city or team award, it would have gone to Camrose. Jason Ernst of Camrose finished in 48th place to give the local runners four in the top 50 in the marathon of 680 participants.

Benefit concert to help BRAPS planned By Murray Green
The second annual Fixed Benefit Concert to support the Battle River Animal Protection Society (BRAPS) has been set for Saturday, Sept. 7, beginning at 8 p.m. in the Scalliwags Pub and Rum Bar. All musicians are local university students or community members. "A new attraction will be a stand up comedian this year," said organizer Carley Horkoff. "Last year we raised close to $1,500 and I am hoping to beat that this year." A $10 entrance/donation fee will be collected at the front door. "Every penny donated goes to homeless animals for food, shelter, medical bills and to be spayed or neutered," said Carley. All students will receive 10 per cent off food and drinks. "There will also be 50/50 raffle tickets, as well as awesome prizes and gift cards given out," added Carley. "I have created a public event on Facebook that is titled: Fixed Benefit Concert number two." BRAPS has rescued
many animals and helped them find a loving home. They currently have a large selection of cats and kittens that are up for adoption and need a "forever home." "The Battle River Animal Protection Society is this amazing, local non-profit organization that cares for homeless animals that are found in Camrose and the surrounding area," explained Carley. The City of Camrose doesn't have an animal shelter. "They have one pound that has room for maybe six dogs and zero cats. This is crazy considering Camrose has a population of nearly 18,000 people," said Carley. "There are a few volunteers with BRAPS that out of the goodness of their hearts, bring these animals into their own homes and foster them out of their own pockets when necessary as costs and vet bills are more than donations coming in." The demands and calls for stray, lost, found and surrendered animals is ever increasing. About 70 per cent of North Americans are pet owners and circumstances

change in people's lives. They may need to surrender a pet, have a pet go missing, or find someone's missing pet. "We have been overwhelmed with cats and kittens this summer. And, winter and cold weather is fast
approaching," said Monica Rusnak, who is a foster care provider. "Please be a responsible pet owner and spay/neuter your pets." BRAPS needs your help in order to continue with this demanding rescue effort.
"I want to make this year even bigger, better and fill Scalliwags," said Carley. "Come out and support all the local musicians and see the talent of our university students and in the community."

Doug Appleby By Dan Jensen
City council candidate Doug Appleby is concerned with the amount of spending that is being done by the City of Camrose. "I think we have to slow the spending to get our taxes back in line and competitive with other municipalities in the province," said Appleby. "We have to look at how we can reduce the unnecessary expenditures." Appleby would like to see the City do more business locally. "The City is hanging local businesses out to dry," he said. "There are companies from outside the City that are being used when local people could be doing a job that is just as good or better." Appleby feels the quality of life in the City is fantastic. "It was the reason I came back here after being away for a while," he said. Appleby has been in the mechanical contracting business for the last 32 years, the last 12 of which have been in Camrose. He has also lived in Viking, where he served as a councillor for six years, from 1983 to 1989. Highlights of those six years included the completion of the Viking water treatment system and the establishment of Beaver Waste Management. When he wasn't busy with council duties, Appleby volunteered with minor hockey and served on the Viking arena board. Appleby and his wife have three grown children who work with him in his business.

Slow down in school zones By Dan Jensen The Camrose Police Service will be paying special attention to school and playground zones this week. "We're going to make ourselves more visibile so that drivers are aware that school is back in session," said Camrose Police Service constable responsible for the traffic division Mike Kuster. Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit in school zones is 30 km/h between 8 and 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 3 and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. The speed limit in playground zones is 30 km/h from 8:30 a.m. to one hour after sunset. Vehicles are not permitted to pass another vehicle travelling in the same direction in ether school or playground zones during the times that the speed limits are in effect. Children are excited In the excitement of returning to school, children may forget basic road safety rules. "Children have difficulty judging the speed of oncoming vehicles and have a tendency to dart out into the street in pursuit of a friend, pet or toy," said Cst. Kuster. "Also, their short height makes children harder for drivers to see. A child's reaction to danger differs from that of an adult. For instance, the approach of a car may prompt a child to run faster across the street instead of staying on the sidewalk as an adult would. Fatigue and lack of attention increase the risk of a child suffering injury on the way to or from school." Avoid distractions As well as obeying signs, drivers should be prepared to slow down or stop, avoid loud music and other distractions when driving, use caution when approaching intersections or mid-block crosswalks, watch for the school safety patrollers in their orange vests and stop as directed, be cautious in parking lots or when backing out of a parking stall or driveway, and watch for kids between parked vehicles and on the sidewalk. They should also remember that the speed limits in school zones and elsewhere are the maximum speed that can be driven if ideal conditions persist.
Presenting quilts to Brigantia Place Family Support Coordinator Melissa Faucher (centre) were Battle River Quilters' Guild members (left to right) Carol Marohn, Faith Gabert, Kathleen Rollo, Elaine Hook, Phyllis Smith, Nina Koopman, Judy Hoehn, Margery Rowlands and Louise Paull.
Battle River Quilters' Guild spreads feeling of warmth By Dan Jensen
The Battle River Quilters' Guild donated 22 quilts to Brigantia Place (Camrose Women's Shelter) Aug. 21. "We've been giving comfort quilts to Brigantia for the last four years," said Battle River Quilters' Guild president Elaine Hook. The guild has a long history of helping those who are in need.
"We've given quilts to Habitat for Humanity, to the Camrose Public Library, the Camrose Open Door Association, and Camrose Association for Community Living," said comfort quilt coordinator Judy Hoehn. "We have also given quilts to families at the Central Agencies Christmas event." This summer the guild sent 28 quilt tops to High
River that will be finished there and provided to the flood victims. "We do about 50 to 60 quilt projects a year," said Hook. "If the quilts are done by machine we donate the materials." The Battle River Quilters' Guild meets once a month at Bethel Lutheran Church. In addition, members attend six work days at designated times throughout
the year where they work on the quilts that are given to charities. "The work days provide an opportunity for good fellowship and fun and learn new techniques from some of the guests that we bring in," said Hook. "The guild pays for instructors to come in to teach us new quilting techniques, so it is a way of educating ourselves."
Report on the Legislature Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River-Wainwright Alberta's official statistics give snapshot of life in Alberta
Facts about life in Alberta are now available online through the newly updated 2013 Alberta Official Statistics. The official statistics contain important and relevant information about various aspects of life in Alberta, including population, labour force, education, land use and water quality. Each statistic has been reviewed and certified for quality, and can be accessed for free through the Alberta Official Statistics website. This information is used regularly to inform government policy and decision making, as well as by educators, researchers, and others who may need information about the province. Some examples of the statistics available in the Alberta Official Statistics include: Many of the statistics are also available in an open data format, either through the Alberta Official Statistics catalogue at www.officialstats.alberta.ca or through the Open Data portal. Redford government responds to Albertans' feedback on flood policy In response to input from Albertans, the Redford government has adjusted
Doug Griffiths
recent policies on land titles and minimum individual flood mitigation measures. A ‘location notice’ on land titles to identify all properties in the province that are in a floodway or flood fringe is no longer planned. The province is working with the real estate industry to identify other ways consumers can receive the flood-related information they will need to inform home purchases. Future buyers can also check the property on the flood mapping hazard website. Plans for a ‘Disaster Recovery Program notice’ have not changed. This notice will be placed on the land title of properties where future flood-related disaster eligibility is at
stake. It will simply state that funding was received. For property owners in the flood fringe, the notice will be removed from the land title once minimum mitigation requirements have been met. For property owners in a floodway, the notice will remain on the land title if Disaster Recovery Program funding was provided to inform future owners that no additional funding will be available in future floods. Minor modifications to the existing minimum individual mitigation measures have also been made to simplify the rebuilding process for Albertans. These standards are designed to minimize basement damage resulting from future floods. Additional funding is available through the Disaster Recovery Program for homeowners to meet these requirements. Details on land title notices and minimum individual flood mitigation measures can be found in the backgrounder or at Alberta.ca. Public input sought to improve carbon capture rules The Alberta government is seeking public input to help ensure the province has the strongest possible rules governing carbon capture and storage (CCS). Alberta Energy has completed an extensive
review that resulted in over 70 conclusions and recommendations aimed at improving CCS regulation in Alberta, and it is now providing an opportunity for the public to comment on proposed changes. Alberta has committed $170 million in 2013/2014 – and a total of $1.3 billion over 15 years – to fund two large-scale CCS projects that will help reduce CO2 emissions from oil sands refining. The CCS Regulatory Framework Assessment, announced in 2011, looked at both the current rules for CCS in Alberta and best practices from around the world. Over 100 global experts from industry, environmental groups, academics and government participated in the review. The public feedback period will extend to Oct. 3, 2013. As the MLA for Battle River - Wainwright, I am always available to assist constituents.

A Clinical Service of Capilano Rehab Centre
By Murray Green The Neighbor Aid Center will be holding a huge community garage sale to help stock the shelves at the Food Bank. Sobeys manager Al Paquette and his staff wanted to try something different. "In one of our morning meetings it was suggested to help the Food Bank. We wanted to create excitement and an event," said Al. "September is a hard month for some people with back to school supplies needed and funds going to new activities, so we thought it was a good time to hold the garage sale." The timing couldn't have been better for the Food Bank. "School is approaching fast and the Food Bank's shelves are very bare; we are in need of donations," said Jo-Anne Tweed, program director of the Food Bank. Community churches and volunteers that form the Neighbor Aid Center will be helping at the garage sale. "We are hoping the combined garage sale and barbecue will bring people out. Our volunteers will be working together with Sobeys staff and are excited about the event as well," said Jo-Anne. A hot dog barbecue will be available on site. All proceeds from the $3 sales of hot dogs and drinks will also be donated to the Food Bank. Sobeys staff are organizing the sale in the Sobeys parking lot on Friday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. "Sobeys will have a Food Bank drop-off box in their store. The Food Bank is in need of drinking boxes, nut free granola bars, fruit or pudding cups for student packs," explained Jo-Anne. "We are low on almost everything and all donations are appreciated and are well received. A grocery gift card is also an option." September is the beginning of the busy months for the Food Bank. "We are gearing up to get the Breakfast Clubs up and running for another year in six local schools," said Jo-Anne "Although there isn't a food drive booked for September, the garden donations are starting to pour in from the community as well as individual donations." If you have items to donate to the garage sale, contact Al at 780-672-5969. If you can't attend the sale,

Hladun advocate for good management By Dan Jensen
Tony Hladun won't be pushing for any great makeovers if elected to Camrose City council Oct. 21. "I am not an advocate for great change," said Hladun. "I am an advocate of trying to apply good management, prudent financial controls, and basically provide the services that the people of Camrose would like. Quality of life is an issue in the city and I think that there are ways to maintain and enhance that." Hladun feels if the provincial government continues to cut spending the City may be faced with some decisions about what the priorities are and how to address them. "Over the last number of years the provincial government has been very generous with grants and donations." he said, "and that may or may not continue." Hladun believes City council can move Camrose into line with the taxation levels of other communities by gradually reducing spending and waiting for the other communities to catch up. "Taxes are at the high end of the range for similar cities in Alberta, and I think that probably does have some effect on how happy the citizens are to be here," he said. "I am not in favour of low taxes because low taxes mean lower levels of service." Hladun sees the need for City council and City administration to place greater emphasis on customer service.
Tony Hladun
"I have heard comments about difficulty in getting permits and delays and so on," he said. "Obviously the rules have to be applied but I think we can improve that customer service. Having been in private business, we lived and deid by what our customers throught of us and, really, in Camrose, the voters are the customers. Although council can't improve customer service by itself, it can set the tone and the direction that responsiveness and service is an important thing. Granted, the rules and regulations have to be taken into account, but if there are things that are unnecessarily onerous, then maybe council has to address bylaws to say this is what we really want. Sometimes with the best of intentions you wind up with something that doesn't work that well." Hladun has 31 years of experience in managing engineering construction, consulting and opertations mainly in the pipeline indus-
try, skills that he feels could be useful if the City goes ahead with plans for the $50 million waste water treatment facility. "The facility was in the 2010 budget but has now kind of vanished," said Hladun, who was in charge of Interprovincial Pipe Line's $250 million Phase III expansion project in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and was responsible for supervision and administration of NOVA's compression, engineering, operations and drafting departments. "I am not sure what happened there but when I lay awake at night and smell the sewage lagoons, probably it is time to do something about it sooner than later. I am not a civil engineer who has done waste water systems but I know enough about engineering that I can understand what the issues are." Hladun and his wife, Deanne Morrow, have lived in Camrose for the last 10 years. He has served on the board of the Battle River Community Foundation, and is currently a regional advisor for the Alberta Electrical System Operator, as well as a member of the Camrose Hospice Society board and Rotary Club of Camrose. He has never served on an elected council but he has done work for the City engineering department, something that gives him a familiarity with the City of Camrose operations. "I am retired now and I believe I have the time to commit to the position of councillor," said Hladun. "I think with my background I have plenty to bring."
Horton passionate about Camrose By Murray Green
Garth Horton has served the citizens of Camrose
for the past 30 on several boards and committees. Now he wants to sit on city council. "I'm a community guy and I believe Camrose is the best place to live. I'm very passionate about Camrose," explained Garth, who works for a company called Directions for Wellness. "We help people gain employment to find a better place in their life. We want them to be better off and we work with a whole host of organizations such as The Open Door, Primary Care Network, Alberta Works, Neighbor Aid Center and Brigantia Place (Camrose Women's Shelter). It has given me a chance to talk with a lot of businesses. I meet with them to see if they are willing to take an employee trying to better themselves." This has given Garth a better appreciation of the business community in Camrose. "We have great businesses and communityminded people here. That
Garth Horton
is why Camrose is such a great city," he added. Garth's vast experience within the community would also be a valuable asset for city council. "I have a pretty good understanding of the social needs of Camrose and an understanding of what kind of businesses we have in the city and what services they have to offer to the citizens," said Garth. "I can provide a good balance to council and I am a fiscal conservative. I really believe our taxes are too high. I don't know what the justification is for
the higher taxes. But we need to take a look at every service the city provides to see if we can offer those services more effectively." Garth feels the Camrose Police Service is offering a good service for our citizens. "I think the police service does a very good job. If you look at the crime rate we have compared to other centres the same size, it shows they make a difference. I see first hand the way crime prevention and the school resource programs have made a big difference. Look at the Boston Pizza incident. They were robbed and within 20 minutes they had the suspect(s) in custody. You don't get that level of service anywhere else." The entire community believes in the city. "I'm so impressed with the way the business and community people in this city back the programs we need to make this a great community," he said. "The citizens need to continue to support the programs. There are other ways to support programs, rather than increase taxes." Continued on page 35

Pentecostal Church gives away food to those who have need By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Pentecostal Church has started giving away free bread and non perishable items to those who are in need. "We set up here at our new location on 48 Street (across from The Camrose Booster), from 10 a.m. to noon every Friday morning," explained retired Pentecostal Church pastor Lewis Smith. "The food is available to anyone who is on a tight budget and needs to put a little extra food on the table." The bread and baking is provided by Sobeys, while the non-perishable items come from the Camrose and District Food Bank. Lewis is amazed at the number of people who have stopped by the location. "The need for something like this is definitely there," he said. "We usually have three tables full of products and by the time we wrap things up everything is gone." Lewis expressed gratitude for the support the Pentecostal Church has received from the Camrose and District Food Bank and Sobeys.
CHILI LUNCH PROCEEDS
A chili lunch at St. Andrew's Anglican Church following the Camrose parade on Aug. 1 raised $1,223 for the Camrose Neighbor Aid Center and Camrose and District Food Bank. Presenting a cheque for that amount to Neighbor Aid program director Jo-Anne Tweed was St. Andrew's Anglican ACW president Elaine Hook.

It’s easy to forget just how much of an impact universities have on our daily lives. As the provincial government attempts to reshape post-secondary education in Alberta, it’s easy to say, “It doesn’t affect me, so I won’t worry about it,” but the truth is that severe budget cuts and the elimination of programs will indeed affect every single one of us in one way or another, whether we or our children attend or not. While not everyone has a degree, our lives are positively impacted every day by those who do: Our children are taught by university-educated teachers; Our oil-patch jobs exist because of university-educated geologists and engineers; Our health is maintained by university-educated doctors and nurses; Our wills and estates are handled by university-educated lawyers; Our streets are paved, our planes fly, our vehicles drive, and our farms are increasingly stewarded by people with university educations. The list goes on. Thus, while it’s easy for us to think that post-secondary issues are someone else’s problem, the 600 students who don’t get admitted to the University of Alberta’s Bachelor of Science program (because they don’t have a 90 per cent high school average), for example, are 600 students who don’t become our doctors, our nurses, our scientists, our engineers, our veterinarians. If this matters to us, we need to speak up and let our MLAs know where we stand on post-secondary education. When we leave it to “someone else”, we do so at our own personal peril. Sincerely, Jerry Iwanus, Bawlf Examine parties
When it comes to politics, many of our well meaning fellow Albertans have no idea of what the Albertan political parties stand
on certain issues. Yet these policies do affect the lives of everybody when a party is in power. Many people have said to me personally that they do not like or trust the present government. They do not like some of the decisions that they have made. However, they are very scared of the Wildrose Alliance. They will tell me of a statement from the leader at one time or other. Many times it is out of context or very badly represented. That is fine. I do understand why they feel this why. The question which I would like to ask everybody is, do you really understand what this party stands for on the very important issues? Let us take families and children as an example. I do not have the time or space to go into everything what this party stands for. You can get the details at www.wildrose. ca if you so desire to. Here are some highlights of what they stand for just to whet your appetite. The Wildrose Alliance party if in power would work aggressively with the Federal government to allow for income spitting between parents. Right now single income parents, where one parent stays at home with the children are penalized under the federal taxation laws. This is unacceptable and must be addressed. The Wildrose Alliance Party if in power would introduce family law reforms which would ensure improved compliance with both maintenance and visitation orders. They will fully review Alberta's foster care system to ensure safety, training, compensation levels and social worker to child ratios are set at the highest standards. Many of you do remember that one incident which happened here in Camrose where a social worker was killed? This did not happen all that long ago. So many of you do realize that this issue has to be addressed. As I have stated before that I do not have the space or time to write about what this party does stand on this issue of family and children. Who ever you support, do you know where they stand on this very important issue? This is just something to think about. Lorne W.P Vandewoude Camrose Available jobs
I write regarding MP Sorenson's statement that "Canadians are first in line for available jobs" (Aug 17/13, Camrose Booster, Parliamentary Report). Sorenson's claims are
at variance with McClure's article (August 19/13, Edmonton Journal "Temporary foreign workers used as pawns"), which states that The AB Federation of Labour says "govenment is sanctioning the exploitation of temporary foreign workers," citing the 243 Government approvals in a recent 10-month period as proof. According to McClure over half the employers getting approval to pay minimum wages are in the foodservice sector, and almost one third of the Alberta employees with permission to pay minimum wage are in the horticulture sector. Alberta's minimum wage is the lowest in Canada, despite the 25-cent increase in September 2013 (from which liquour-servers are omitted). Don Drummond (former chief economist with TD Bank) says the Federal Government Temporary Foreign Worker Program gives Alberta employees a "way to avoid normal market forces," which is totally different picture than what Sorenson paints in his "Report." Sorenson claims the foreign workers approved by the TFW Program, are due to it "only [being] used as intended - to fill acute skill shortages on a temporary basis... in our area of Alberta." His claim is based on what "employers in our riding always underline" for him. Up until April this year, the TFW Program allowed the applying employer to pay five percent less than the "prevailing wage" for lower-skilled occupations. So perhaps that is why foreign workers are so prominent in the service industry. Last year more than 40 per cent of the temporary foreign position applications were for Alberta employers. That seems unreasonably high for a province with only 10.9 per cent of the whole nation's population (i.e. 3.6 million people, 2011). Why would Alberta need 40 per cent of the approved foreign workers in all of Canada? And, why would Mr. Sorenson try to convince Booster readers that "in Crowfoot, we expect that Albertans and other Canadians should have the first opportunity for available jobs or employment," when that stated 40 per cent would indicate otherwise? It doesn't add up. This discrepancy casts further doubt on the credibility of yet another government message. Marion Leithead Bawlf

Dodge Dart Fun-to-drive compact car
Ed Rye By Dan Jensen
The new Dodge Dart at Camrose Chrysler leverages the world-class architecture and DNA of Alfa Romero and then infuses it with Dodge passion and design. The result is an agile, fun-to-drive compact car with mid-size levels of interior roominess and unmatched style, technology, safety and customization. "Dart is a thoroughly modern vehicle that's beautifully designed and crafted with high-quality materials, attention to detail and precision craftsmanship," said Camrose Chrysler sales manager Denis Mercier. "It's a car that customers will be proud to own and look forward to driving." Eye-catching
Eye-catching exterior proportions are set off from every angle by dynamic lines and curves, along with advanced technology, to deliver class-leading aerodynamic performance. The personality-packed front view is instantly recognizable as an all-new Dodge with its tailored split-crosshair grille, projector headlamps, and fog lamps and accentuated fenders. Signature Dodge full-width LED racetrack tail lamps and class-exclusive integrated dual exhaust – both inspired by Dodge Charger – accentuate the athletic and muscular stance
of this dynamic and passionate new design. Sophisticated engines
Three fuel-efficient, powerful state-of-the-art four-cylinder engines add to Dart's fun-to-drive quotient. Drivers can select from a new Tigershark 16-valve 2.0 litre engine that delivers up to 8.1 litres per 100 km in the city, a 16-valve 1.4 litre MultiAir Intercooled Turbo engine that delivers up to 7.4 litres per 100 km in the city, and a new Tigershark 16-valve 2.4 litre MultiAir four cylinder engine. MultiAir technology delivers optimum combustion at any speed under all driving conditions by allowing direct and dynamic control of air intake and combustion. The result is up to a 15 per cent increase in low engine rpm torque, a 7.5 per cent improvement in fuel
efficiency, and a 10 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual, a six-speed dual-dry clutch, or a six-speed automatic. Technologically advanced
The die-cut, precision machine sewn and handwrapped brown showcases the technological centrepiece of the all-new Dart. The available illuminated floating island bezel houses a segment-exclusive seven-inch thin film transistor gauge cluster display, customizable to suit your own personal style. The standard analogue design cluster is trimmed with fiery ruby-red lighting for exceptional crisp and clear readability, while steering wheel mounted controls let you crank the music, make a phone call or set the cruise control. "The steering wheel is
heated, a class-exclusive," said Mercier. Every detail, surface and touch point has been scrutinized to ensure the Dodge Dart looks and feels perfect. The atmosphere of technology, comfort and style is designed to flat-out surprise and delight with exceptionally designed features like the available LED ambient interior lighting that brings illumination to door handles, map pockets, footwells, front cup holders and cubby area. The Dart's roomy interior provides both a comfortable ride for passengers and clever storage for your gear. An available in-seat storage bin stows essential travel items out of sight. The oversize glove box is a perfect fit for tablets and most laptops. Safety
Dodge has you covered from all angles with over 55 standard and available safety and security features, with advanced options like the segment-exclusive blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, parkview rear back-up camera, Park-Sense rear park assist, as well as 10 standard air bags, electronic stability control, and four wheel disc ABS brakes. Dart steps in when it detects you are veering off your intended path, engaging brake assist and allspeed traction control to help you maintain direction con-
trol. It anticipates situations when the driver may initiate an emergency brake stop and pre-charges the brake system to reduce the time required for full brake application. For nearly 100 years, Dodge has defined passionate and innovative vehicles that stand apart in performance and style. Building upon its rich heritage of muscle cars, racing technology and ingenious engineering, Dodge offers a full line of cars, crossovers, minivans and SVs built for top performance – from power off the line and handling in the corners, to high-quality vehicles that deliver unmatched versatility and excellent fuel efficiency. Only Dodge offers such innovative functionality combined with class-leading performance, exceptional value and distinctive design. With the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart, the all-new Dodge Charger paired with the ZF eight-speed transmission, the new Durango and the significantly revamped Grand Caravan – inventor of the minivan – Journey, Avenger and iconic Challenger, Dodge now has one of the youngest dealer showrooms in Canada. You can see the new Dodge Dart at Camrose Chrysler on Highway 13 east, Camrose. Phone 780672-2476 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Annual Car Starter
Horton is passionate about Camrose Continued from page 30
Now that Camrose is building a performing arts centre and a city hall, Garth wants to examine what the people want. A new swimming pool, more baseball diamonds and a better public works facility are at the top of the list. "We have asked the citizens what we need and we should examine the results of the survey. It indicates we need a new pool." Garth wants to involve the citizens in the council process. "I believe there is a solution to every problem and we need to examine everything to find the right solution that works for Camrose," he said. The new city council has to catch up on road maintenance. "I think we have some good city employees, but we have to examine what are the priorities. Administration is taxed with providing council with information, but the council has to decide the direction to take. Council has to have a close working relationship." He also wants to talk about moving the railway north of the city, rather than hauling everything through the middle of he city. "It is for safety concerns. You don't realize what goes through the city on a daily basis." Garth has been active in the community for 30 years. "I was on Camrose Minor Hockey, founder and president of the Camrose Boys and Girls Club; I helped start the Learning Together program, sat on the tourism board, the social planning committee for the city and recently I was on the public transportation committee," he listed.

Kodiaks blitz Okotoks defence By Murray Green
In preseason play at the EnCana Arena on Aug. 27, the Camrose Kodiaks blitzed the Okotoks Oilers with five goals in the first two periods before they could respond. Camrose defeated the Oilers 7-2 on the strength of their offence. Ryker Leer and Ryan Huolt netted two goals each to lead the offence. Single markers came from Robert Cain, P.J. Marrocco and Jody Sick. Goalie Devin McDonald stopped all 14 shots he faced in the first half. Matt Zentner turned aside 16 of the 18 shots fired his way. The Kodiaks opened the pre-season with an exciting shoot-out game at the EnCana Arena on Aug. 26. Unfortunately, they lost 3-2 in the evenly played contest. The Drumheller Dragons scored the only goal in the first period off the stick of Sheldon Hubbard. Camrose fought back with a single tally in the second when Matt Waseylenko scored with help from Clinton Jonah. P.J. Marrocco gave the Kodiaks a brief lead in the third period with assists to Dallas Bergstrom and Lukas Pollock. The Dragons' Tyson Valette netted the equalizer with about five minutes left to force an overtime period and the shoot-out. Marrocco scored in the shoot-out, but the Dragons received goals from Jesse Zaharichuk and Alex Elliot. Ben Bogsite stopped 17 of 19 shots in the first half of the game for the Kodiaks. Tyson Brouwer came in and turned away 24 of the 25 shots fired in his direction. The Kodiaks open the regular season at home on Friday, Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. against the Brooks Bandits. The next night the Kodiaks host the Drumheller Dragons.
CAMROSE KODIAKS SUPPORT FOOD BANK
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Camrose Kodiaks' players Cam Gotaas, Tanner Tyndall, Kevin Jenken and Ryan Piche presented Neighbor Aid Center program director Jo-Anne Tweed with $800 and food collected during preseason games to the Food Bank.

CCHS Trojans to open season with Lindsay Thurber Raiders squad Sept. 5 By Murray Green
The Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team will open the regular season against Red Deer's Lindsay Thurber Raiders squad at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 5 in Kin Park. The Trojans have 12 coaches who are eager to pass on skills and strategy to the players this season. Adam Belanger heads the staff that includes Brad Berger and Steve Ioandis as the offensive coordinators and Carl Davidse as the defensive coordinator. Other coaches are Warren Reed, Erik Kyler, Luke
Liebel, Jason Loosemore, Josh Kosed, Jason Atherton, Layton Johnson and Zach Leach. "We have added some coaches this year and they all work together to provide some great coaching," said head coach Adam. "We brought back Warren Reed and he has the important job of being in the booth and being a spotter for us. I had the same position with the Battle River Shock and it is a busy position and you have to know all parts of the game." During a preseason camp, which has already
started, about 20 players have committed to playing this year. "We have a short bench right now. We encourage athletes to come out and we will find a spot for them to play. We still need players at all positions," added Adam. CCHS has the advantage of having the first three games at home this year. The Trojans host the Stettler Wildcats at 7:45 p.m. on Sept. 13 and then the team takes on Red Deer's Hunting Hills Lightning at 7:45 p.m. on Sept. 20. Camrose travels to Wetaskiwin on Sept. 28 for
a rare Saturday game at 6 p.m. The Trojans host the Rocky Mountain House Rebels on Oct. 4 at 4 p.m. CCHS closes out the regular season in Ponoka against the Broncs at 4 p.m. on Oct. 11.

Ron Baier wanting to stay involved in Catholic education By Dan Jensen
Ron Baier is hoping to have a new role in Catholic education after Oct. 21. "I have decided to put my name forward for Catholic school board trustee," said Baier, "because I have devoted much of my life to Catholic education and it has become my passion." Baier feels trusteeship will allow him the opportunity to stay involved in and contribute to Catholic education. "It is said that one's purpose in life is attained when one's passion meets the needs of the community you serve," he said, "therefore one could say Catholic school trusteeship is my passion in life. During my 33 year career in education I have experienced much: the good, the bad, and yes even the ugly at all levels of education, from classroom to boardroom and even up to the Supreme Court." Baier believes Catholic education calls for a clear and thorough understanding of its mission and mandate. "Catholic education is education with a difference," he said. Baier has an extensive background that includes a working knowledge and understanding of current best practices in program delivery and assessment. "Program delivery and assessment is perhaps the most important issue in education today, especially when one looks at the unfortunate misguided direction undertaken by some school districts," he said. “Assessment for Learning is indeed the best acceptable practice, however the reporting portion must reflect the method of instruction." Baier also has administrative experience from a variety of school divisions
Ron Baier
and provinces (Master's degree in curriculum and administration), leadership and service in local and provincial Catholic communities (chairman, board of directors of the Western Catholic Reporter, vice president and conference chair of the Religious and Moral Education Council), and numerous ministries within St. Francis Xavier Parish. He has served as trustee in the past and has done extensive work in policy development and various other committees, including the establishment of the Catholic High School. Baier said if Catholic education was not different than other kinds of education there would be no reason for its existence. "It would be a gross duplication of service. The difference is to be found in the mandate, which is to bring up our children in the faith. We find our reason for existing, our true justification, is in our participation in the mission of the church. Our unique identity requires an integration of vision, of faith, of culture and life; we are called to form community. Every
school in any system seeks meaning; there are even some individuals within these schools who include moral, ethical and spiritual dimensions in their teaching, but only Catholic schools as institutions have a particular obligation to consider these dimensions in the quest for understanding. It is this quality that underlines the crucial role of the Catholic education in this day and age. For Catholic schools to have integrity and be independent, it is our duty to challenge the status quo and to suggest to our students there are other value systems beyond those of contemporary society. Our Catholic schools provide a window into a healing metaphor; they help the world reclaim its soul." Baier said the vision of Catholic education is characterized by hope and confidence. "We are spiritual beings and there are ethical and moral dimensions to all we do. In short, the goal of Catholic education is missionary in nature and dedicated to making the life and message of Jesus Christ a presence and force, not only in the lives of our students, but in their families and wider communities. Catholic education is a culture where Catholic morals, values and ethics are related through every course, and ultimately on that day when our students enter heaven and see Jesus they will say hey, I know you, I went to St. Patrick and Mount Pleasant Schools and I met you there." Baier feels he has much to offer the community to ensure not only an optimum learning environment for students but also that Catholic education lives on and prospers.
Securing Canada's economic prosperity Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot
One of my duties this past week as Canada’s new Minister of State (Finance) was to accompany the Hon. Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance, as he hosted his seventh annual National Policy Retreat in Wakefield, Quebec. Every year, our Conservative Finance Minister brings together a group of distinguished Canadians – business representatives, academics and other experts – to discuss a wide range of economic challenges facing Canada. “Our government is focused on supporting job creation and economic growth, as we help secure Canada’s long-term prosperity and competitiveness in an increasingly globalized econ-
omy,” said Minister Flaherty. “I look forward to working with participants to identify the key innovations that will help us achieve these crucial objectives.” Participants at the retreat examine issues including skills shortages, labour mobility, internal trade, and promote investment in Canada, as well as actions that the Government of Canada and the private sector can take to build a stronger, more prosperous country. I met everyone invited to the policy retreat and I was impressed by their accomplishments, sincerity, knowledge and their eagerness to contribute to the discussions. Everyone recognizes the challenges our nation is confronting given the economic difficulties in many other
countries. Canadians must be diligent when it comes to being able to deal with problems that arise beyond our country’s borders. Canada is not immune to global economic developments. Weak economic growth in both advanced and emerging economies can affect what we in Canada hope to achieve. Our government is positioning the Canadian economy to meet these ongoing global economic challenges by balancing the budget in 2015 and stimulating job creation and economic growth. These kinds of discussions are an important part of our democracy. They are immensely helpful and productive in shaping the future of Canada’s economy. Our own annual pre-
budgetary consultations in Crowfoot, which I usually hold early in the year in different locations in our riding, are always well attended and local constituents always bring many constructive suggestions and recommendations. We have lively discussions. I was encouraged to see the same level of concern and sense of dedication for the development of good policy for our nation at the policy retreat in Wakefield, as I have always seen in our own riding. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write me at 4945-50th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, toll-free 1-800-665-4358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson.c1@parl.gc.ca.

Calling lovers of song to Augustana Submitted The music area at the Augustana Campus is delighted to announce two exciting musical opportunities for those who love sing. Sangkor (pronounced sahng-koor): Augustana’s Women’s Choir draws its name from the Norwegian word for song choir. Directed by Dr. John Wiebe, this treble ensemble is non-auditioned and open to interested members of the community as well as Augustana students studying in all disciplines. Through the exploration of musics from a variety of times and places, the choir endeavours to develop a broader sense of cultural awareness and cultivates in its members a deep appreciation for the richness of the choral art. In addition, strong emphasis is placed on the development of the vocal instrument and gaining an understanding of foundational musical concepts. The choir rehearses every Thursday evening between 7 and 9 p.m. New members are accepted in September and January. The first Sangkor rehearsal for the 2013 Fall Term takes place on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 7 p.m., in A024 at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus. Mannskor: Augustana’s Men’s Choir is a nonauditioned ensemble that encourages men from the Augustana campus and the Camrose community to explore the joy and camaraderie of choral singing. Through diverse repertoire drawn from the bountiful male choral tradition, director, Dr. Ardelle Ries leads choristers from Mannskor to improve vocal technique and choral musicianship skills. Mannskor serves to build strong relationships between Augustana students, staff, faculty, and members of the university and Camrose communities. The choir rehearses every Wednesday evening between 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. The first Mannskor rehearsal for the fall term takes place on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 6:30 p.m. in A024 at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus.

Tai Chi offered at support session
Collen Lindholm, Camrose Primary Care Network As part of the year long Living Your Best Life with Cancer and Beyond workshop series in partnership with Calgary Wellspring, the Camrose PCN is offering a Tai Chi workshop on Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Edgeworth Centre. The afternoon workshop, which will run from 1 to 4 p.m., is designed for people living with cancer, their families and significant caregivers. Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese exercise that involves gentle movements, performed with the intention of connecting mind and body. Sometimes described as “meditation in motion” this program requires deep focus and concentration as one stays in the moment and develops the mindfulness that Tai Chi promotes. In the Wellspring context, Tai Chi is an effective tool for members on their healing journey. The short sequences of movement can be practiced daily for calming, relaxation, balance and harmony, all vital properties of health and wholeness. In this workshop you can learn short Tai Chi sequence which you can use later on as a daily health routine. You will start with short warm up breathing exercises, learn the moves and finish with standing or walking meditation. No experience required. Research has shown health benefits of Tai Chi include enhanced immune systems, lower stress levels, lower blood pressure, and lower pain and stiffness.

UNIDIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM
Why the City of Camrose is implementing the Unidirectional Flushing (UDF) Program: 1. To maintain and improve the City’s water quality. 2. To improve water flow and pressure in the water distribution system. 3. To reduce bacterial growth, restore disinfectant residual, and improve water color. 4. Unidirectional Flushing uses 40% less water than traditional flushing programs due to increased water velocity. 5. In addition to scouring the water pipes, the UDF Program also gives the City the opportunity to check, exercise, and maintain all water valves and hydrants. The UDF program began July 18, 2013, starting with Zone A and will continue for 2-3 months. Water service should not be disrupted during the flushing process. There may be a slight drop in pressure or a presence of discoloration in the water from the minerals and sediments being flushed from the pipes. If discoloration is noticed, please turn the tap off for 15 minutes and flush from your bathtub tap until the water is clear. If there are any questions or concerns in regards to the Unidirectional Flushing Program please feel free to contact Ryan Baily at the City of Camrose Engineering Department at 780672-4428. For more information please visit the City of Camrose website at www.camrose.ca.

Imogene Walsh, director of Battle River Community Foundation, presents a cheque to Mark Schneider, chairman of Habitat for Humanity Camrose Society. This grant is made possible by the Battle River Community Foundation’s Community Fund.
BRCF supports Habitat The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $500 to Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity Canada was founded in 1985 and consists of 71 affiliates across the ten provinces and territories. Habitat for Humanity Camrose was incorporated as an affiliate in 1996. Single family homes were built in 1997 and 1999. Duplexes were built in 2001, 2004, 2005, 2007 (two were built), 2009, 2010 and 2011. The primary objective of the Society is to advance the interests of the working poor and provide interest-free loans to enable them to pay for such homes or renovations. The prospective home-owners contribute specified work as “sweat equity” to the projects. Habitat for Humanity Camrose is arguably the most successful affiliate in Canada, winning two Habitat for Humanity Canada Capacity Awards, in terms of building capacity relative to the population of the service area. From 19962011, 18 new homes were built and 21 families were served. The building program in Camrose has grown in the last five years during which time two homes per year were averaged. Increased building capacity is not the result of growing availability of funds alone. Staff was also employed to direct operations, and the continuing support of passionate, dedicated and highly skilled volunteers and community partners alike further promoted the affiliate's success.

If outdoor living space is very important, then this property is the one you have been waiting to see. To go along with the beautiful 1,453 square feet of living space on the main floor, you have a front deck, a multitiered rear deck that overlooks nature in a park-like setting and a great view of the golf course. From the entry, step into the large living room with a stone design wood burn-
ing fireplace. It offers a good view of the front deck and well landscaped yard and then it leads to a huge bright dining area that is an ideal place to hold family gatherings for special meals. Garden doors swing open to the deck, which is a great place to hold barbecues or to enjoy your surroundings on a nice evening in a quiet setting. The generous kitchen offers plenty of counter and cupboard space, a less formal eating spot and it has a large opening to bridge the gap between the kitchen and the dining area. A main floor laundry, a good-sized bedroom and a bathroom complete the floor plan. The upper level contains a large master bedroom with
two individuals closets for both of you and it has a three piece ensuite.The finished basement has a huge family room, another bedroom, a workshop room, a cold room and plenty of storage space. An entry from the basement leads to the front attached double garage. You will be impressed with this family home with some large new windows and the great outdoor living space. Included with the purchase are the built-in dishwasher, built-in microwave, fridge, stove, washer, dryer and garage door opener with two controls. This 5011-65 Street home is attractively priced to sell at $335,000.
