One of the most novel annual fund-raisers in the community is The Camrose Open Door Association Bedrace. The event draws a sizeable crowd, is a blast to watch and is eagerly supported by the local business community. It raises a lot of money (last year over $20,000 was raised) which directly supports local youth who find themselves at risk.
It’s Race Week in Camrose! Creative Bedrooms has once again stepped up to be the title sponsor of the Saturday, September 29 Bedrace, indoors at CRE. Teams of five will compete from noon to 3 p.m. Camrose Church of God is the defending champion of the fastest bed. The Scotiabank crew and driver will be defending the two-time position of the most money raised champion.

parties or anniversary galas, friends and families often gather to celebrate especially momentous events. Part of the excitement of these events is donning formalwear or cocktail attire and enlisting the help of beauty experts to look your best for these memorable events. Experienced hair stylists and makeup artists can transform your look from basic to glam in a short amount of time, and women often rely on the professional expertise of cosmetologists to help them create the perfect party look. April Cornelius, a professional stylist, says, “Usually the hair stylist and makeup artist work together and have an easy flow of the clients. They work in conjunction to create looks that are not easily executed by an amateur.” Preparation and party countdown Once the decision has been made to use a professional stylist to work on your hair for a special occasion, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure success. The first step is finding a stylist with whom you will have a good rapport. Ask your regular salon stylist if he or she does special occasion work, or ask for a referral from a friend or family member who has used someone in the past. Cornelius warns against taking drastic measures with your hair within two to three weeks of the event. “Try not to schedule a cut or color right before the party,” she says. “Otherwise you may be stuck with a color or shorter cut than what you wanted. Also, spend time in advance to talk to your stylist about suggested cuts and colors that may enhance your hairdo.” “Hair styles are usually based on the type of dress you are wearing, and the stylist can suggest different things,” says Cornelius. The day of the event “Hair should not be washed any less than one day before the appointment,” says Cornelius. “It is essential that the hair be completely dry before the stylist gets there in order to make the process run more smoothly.” It can take about an hour to do a hairstyle, and if the stylist is working with more than one person for the party, it is important to be on time for your appointment. Other handy tips • Print out or bring a magazine clipping to illustrate what type of style you want. • Bring fun accessories, including cobs, pins, or clips, to enhance your style. • Wear a button- or zip-down shirt for easy unrobing after your style is done. You don’t want to have to pull anything over your head. • Go to a stylist someone you trust has recommended.

Police Service looking to put cap on legal fees By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Police Service is struggling to keep the cap on the amount it is having to pay lawyers. Camrose Police Commission chair Lowell Knutson told Camrose City council last week that while the Service expects to be within its approved budget for 2012 and is on target to meet budgeted fine and sale of materials revenue, legal costs are becoming an increasing concern. Camrose Chief of Police Darrell Kambeitz told council that the legal costs for the Service are 300 per cent greater than the amount that was included in the 2012 budget. "We budgeted $30,000 and I anticipate we will be closer to $90,000," said the Chief. "There was a time when our legal costs were about $1,000 a year." The increase is being driven by advice and representation required for civil lawsuits, human rights inquiries and hearings, disciplinary hearings, law enforcement review board appeals and personnel matters. Kambeitz said while the Camrose Police Service is able to absorb the increased legal costs into the budget, the costs are something that will have to be seriously addressed moving forward. "They're simply due to the complexities and the increasing amount of legislation in our business. Everything has become so complex. There are liabilities that are associated with that not only for the police service but for the City, and we need to make sure that the decisions are being made by the right, informed people." Mayor Marshall Chalmers said the City may have to take a look at the legal costs for all departments and see whether it

might be better off to hire a lawyer to be part of the City staff. "We have to get a handle on how much we are spending." Major homicide
The Camrose Police Service has also experienced a drain on human resources and finances as the result of a major homicide investigation that resulted in the apprehension of a suspect within 96 hours. Knutson told council that the electronic file for that one case is three times larger than all the electronic files for the service in all of 2011. "The file that is still before the court has 27 police witnesses, 1,500 photos, 20 videos and six audio files," said Chief Kambeitz. "We have spent thousands of dollars on being able to present the evidence. "The cost of overtime alone is in excess of $22,000." Chief Kambeitz said the recent Big Valley Jamboree was very successful in terms of being able to implement an operational plan for public safety and the mitigation of risks. He noted that while police were called to deal with 550 incidents, an increase of 11 per cent from the year before, the number of high risk incidents and major investigations that had to be undertaken was not as high as it was the year before. "The policing plan came within the budget we had prepared." Chief Kambeitz said he was pleased with the cooperation between different agencies that was shown in planning for the Jamboree at pre-event meetings. "There was extensive training done before the event to deal with emergency preparedness." Chief Kambeitz believes the blueprint for the successful policing for this year's Big Valley Jamboree will be used for years to come.

CLBI experiencing decline in enrolment for 2012-13 By Dan Jensen
The numbers were down when Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute (CLBI) began its 80th year September 3. "We're at 47 students, which is down from the 70 or 75 students that have been here for the last few years," explained CLBI president Harold Rust. "We're feeling I think the impact of the strong resource economy that is making is easier for students to find good well-paying jobs." Twenty of the students are in their first year of study, 27 are in their second and six are in their third. "Our third year students are interning with a group in Toronto called Urban Promise," said Rust. "Our typical program has students do two years at CLBI and a year where they get practical experience in the area in which they would like to focus, followed by a final year at a college where they study the general arts and sciences." Four students are part of the CLBI Foundations program at
A sculpture at Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute.
Wilderness Ranch near Pincher Creek. "They study different books of the Bible and elements of the Christian life, the same as the students who are here, but it is done in more of a rustic moun-
tain setting," said Rust. "I will be going there during the last week of September to teach the Gospel of John, but on a pack trip with horses." All 17 second-year students will be participating in an Inter-
national Ministry of Prayer and Cross Cultural Training program starting in January of 2013. "We have one team going to Peru, another to Ecuador and another to Asia," said Rust. "It's a way for them to get hands-on experience in the field of missions." Also in January, CLBI alumni and friends will be travelling to San Pedro, California (part of Los Angeles), where they will spend two weeks studying and helping churches and working in the inner city. "There used to be a Lutheran bible institute there and it still exists but is not functional," said Rust, "so the pastors and the churches there wanted us to come down with some alumni so that people would be able to experience some of the DNA of a vibrant bible college." A program that will be continued again this fall is CLBI Plus. "Once a month, starting in October probably, 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. "We had some evenings last year where we had well over 100 people in attendance. One of our instructors was Andy Bannister, who is an apologetics instructor and an Oxford grad." CLBI will be celebrating its 80th anniversary during the Remembrance Day weekend. "The plan is to have activities here and evening services at Messiah to which everyone is invited to attend," said Rust. "I am planning to do some alumni rallies across western Canada before then so the hope is that we will have a big turnout." The CLBI mission is to train, equip, and empower servant leaders of all ages within the context of Christian community "We send leaders from this community to serve Christ and His church in their called vocations throughout the world," said Rust. "Our motto is that students come to know Christ more intimately, follow Him more closely, and serve God more faithfully."

Wide variety of cultural events at no charge By Jane Cherry-Lemire, Community Arts Director, City of Camrose
The Alberta Culture Days committee announced that there will be a variety of cultural activities taking place in Camrose on September 28 to 30 and they are all free! This is all thanks to a grant the Camrose Arts Society received from Alberta Culture and donations received from several local businesses. Join Alberta culture minister Heather Klimchuck in the craft centre of the Camrose Community Centre at 8:45 a.m. on Sept. 29 to show your support of the arts and the celebration. The Camrose Arts Society is very pleased and appreciative of the support received thus far, but hopes that a few more businesses will jump on board as partners to help cover the remainder of the costs. The Alberta Culture Days will begin with a kickoff party at the Bailey Theatre on the evening of September 28. Adult guests will be treated to a night
of great music and hopefully lots of dancing! The evening will begin with The Wiremen at 7 p.m., followed with the Bloozhounds at 8:15 p.m. and the remainder of the evening with the music of Punch Drunk Cabaret starting at 9:30 p.m. Other events taking place throughout the three days will be: A retrospective art show featuring the late Glenda Beaver which will present a sampling of Glenda’s work from the 1950s to 2010;, the fifth annual Mandala Art Show will feature Mandalas that are created by anyone who wishes to submit by September 26, ‘Presenting Guatemala’ which will include presentations on the end of the Mayan Calendar, a Mayan Ceremony, demonstrations and displays of traditional Mayan clothing, crafts and jewellery, a photography show by Camrose Camera Club that features ‘The Human Form Uncovered’, ‘A Blast From the Past’ with home-baked bread and churned butter and guided tours of the Centennial Museum; a writing workshop led

PEN POINTS by Berdie Fowler
Lougheed legacy to Alberta culture This weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 28, 29 and 30, we, the citizens of Camrose, will join all Albertans to observe Alberta Culture Days. This year the annual event follows a week of mourning the death of former Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed. Albertans and Canadians across our country have expressed deep gratitude for the several major legacies he left to Albertans and indeed, to other Canadians, too. Because of the timing coincidence, it seems fitting to recognize Peter Lougheed’s contribution to the cultural activity in our province as well as that of his influential wife Jeanne (who grew up in Camrose, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. L.M. Rogers). Peter Lougheed was Premier of Alberta from 1971 to 1984. Soon after his election he established a ministry of culture, only the second Canadian province to do so. Suddenly things began to happen in the arts and culture community. With government backing, volunteers and philanthropists became seriously involved in community service promoting the arts. Arts organizations were established, festivals were organized, cultural facilities were established. To mark Alberta’s 75th anniversary, the two Jubilee Auditoriums were constructed – one in Calgary and the other in Edmonton. Lougheed supported the establishment of the Glenbow Museum in Calgary and the world class Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller. He was also an influence in the transformation of the Banff Centre from a seasonal art festival into a globallyknown art incubator. Peter and Jeanne Lougheed patronized cultural events. They believed in the wisdom of providing opportunities to develop the latent talents of our own citizens. They believed in the value of visual and performing arts and other cultural learning as essential connectors to our history. Peter Simon, president of the Royal Conservatory of Music, paid this tribute to Lougheed: “It’s the symbolic actions that are so powerful. That the premier of the province would come out and say culture’s as important as resources, and human development is as important to us as natural resource development. That’s a powerful statement. ... When a premier understands that – not just superficially, but part of his core – that’s phenomenal for a province. It was great visionary leadership.” As we, in Camrose and in all of Alberta, celebrate Alberta Culture Days this weekend, may we take a moment to be grateful for the vision and leadership of our late premier, Peter Lougheed, and his influential wife, Jeanne. May his vision be ours to carry forward with the enhancement of cultural life wherever, whenever and in whatever way possible!

Web cams track arts centre progress By Dan Jensen
Camrosians are being given the opportunity to keep close tabs on what is happening with the Performing Arts Centre at Augustana. Camrose City council was informed during its Sept. 17 committee of the whole meeting that the Performing Arts Centre web-
site (http://camroseperformingarts.ca/) will be soon be posting a link to web cams with up to the second construction updates. "The views are updated every ten seconds 24 hours a day," said University of Alberta project manager Michael Madsen. "One of the cameras is located on top of the classroom building looking
north east and the other is on top of the library building looking northwest." A series of time lapse photos taken by the cameras will be shown at the end of the day. The first moving of dirt for the site was expected to begin last week with the relocation of utility lines.
Canadian grandmothers making a difference in lives of their counterparts By Dan Jensen
Canadian grandmothers are making a big difference in the lives of their counterparts in South Africa. "The work the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign has been doing on behalf of grandmothers in Africa is phenomenal," said campaign coordinator Zahara Mohamed during the provincial conference of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign at Augustana Sept. 7 and 8. "They have already raised $16.5 million and are raising more every day." Mohamed said the Grateful Grannies in Camrose is one of more than 20 grandmother groups operating in Alberta. "To see the solidarity and friendships they have created with grandmothers in Africa and the things they have been able to accomplish together is, to me, as an African Canadian, mind blowing. "You can't help but be impressed with the commitment and level of sophistication they have shown while going about their work while at the same time being concerned about the needs in their home communities." Fund-raising initiatives that were started in Alberta and have since spread across the country are Stride to Turn the Tide and Good Words for Africa. "Stride to Turn the Tide was started by a few women in Canmore who wanted to show
Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign coordinator Zahara Mohamed.
some solidarity with their peers," said Mohamed. "They thought it would be a good idea to do a walk because they knew that the grandmothers in Africa walk long distances. It creates a feeling of solidarity while also raising awareness about HIV and AIDS." Good Words for Africa is a scrabble tournament which has already raised $100,000. The money has been used to support grandmothers who have to take on the responsibility of child
rearing when AIDS claims the natural parent. Mohamed is impressed with the momentum that has been generated by the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign. "We're six years into the campaign and it is growing, not diminishing. The grandmothers' groups are doing their own activities but they are also going into the schools and educating people in the communities." Mohamed said one organization in South Africa that is thriving because of the support it has received from the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign is Hillcrest AIDS Centre, which is providing home-based care for those affected by AIDS and HIV. "We had a woman from the Hillcrest AIDS Centre who, when she saw all the work that the grandmothers in Canada were doing, went back home and said they had to do more. She started forming a group at a time, and now there are 200 groups in the Hillcrest area. I had the privilege of going there three years ago and seeing all the incredible work they have been doing. The women are able to come together to do income generation activities and talk about the issues surrounding the disease that not too long ago would have been kept quiet. They are getting the support enabling them to do what is important to them." The Hillcrest AIDS Centre is funded by the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

for Fall
– the perfect match
Dan Olofson, from Duff Layton's Men's Wear, says denims are extremely popular this fall.

Platform shoes for the girl next door This fall, platform shoes will be strutting down sidewalks everywhere, in closed and open styles. The flamboyant Lady Gaga, known worldwide for her volatile music and outrageous style, has made platform soles her favourite accessory. However famous she may be, her influence is only partially responsible for the resurging popularity of platform shoes. In fact, the one-piece sole, characteristic of platform shoes, was used by the people of ancient Greece so they wouldn’t get their
feet dirty on muddy walkways. In the 1970s, these thick soles made a huge comeback, duly inspired by the singing group Abba. These high heels were not only fashionable, they were very useful: they prevented the era’s bell-bottom pants and maxi dresses from dragging on the ground. Twenty years later, platform soles were adopted by fashion again, notably by the Spice Girls, the famous British pop group. "No longer the reserve of stage performers, the twenty-
first-century platform shoe is for the girl next door," said Karen Mingo, sales manager at Sole City Shoes. "If you take the time to try a pair this season, you’ll quickly come to appreciate the style: the stable platform heel is much more comfortable than a classic stiletto heel. That makes it the perfect shoe for those who want to spare their feet some suffering. By the way, platform shoes are also flattering for legs and refine silhouettes — one try and you’ll be convinced!"
The trend in fall and winter fashions is stamped with bright and vibrant colours. "There are more colours in men's fashions this fall than ever before and denim is driving every area," said Dan Olofson, of Duff Layton's Men's Wear. The dominant look comes in the form of smart pants, a shirt and sports jacket. To make this outfit just a touch more casual, the shirt can be swapped for a striped sweater, recalling last summer’s nautical trend. If you can’t really picture yourself in a sports jacket, opt instead for the layered look, a style very much in line with current tastes for both men and women. You can create a harmonious blending of colours with a short sleeve shirt and a cardigan or a loose-knit sweater. Leather is an essential part of every wardrobe this season. Jackets are indispensable items, and so much the better, as they give the masculine wardrobe an extra touch of virility. The aviator jacket is one of the most popular styles, but there is a whole range of other cuts that are flattering. Because a leather jacket is virtually timeless, this item is a great investment. Black is gradually yielding its place to navy blue, a colour dominating jackets and coats.

By Murray Green If you love blues or country music, the Matt Andersen concert through the Rose City Roots Music Society series is the can't miss event of the year. Matt brings his Mississippi Delta style of blues and mixes it with a rocking country blend of music to the Bailey Theatre stage on Thursday, Sept. 27. The hard working New Brunswick singer-songwriter hails from Perth-Andover, a rural blue-collar village far from Mississippi. “Perth-Andover’s a really small, family-oriented community,” said Matt. “Everybody knows everybody. My dad’s worked as a logger pretty much his whole life. But there’s always been music around: my grandfather played fiddle, my mom plays piano in church, most of my cousins have had bands at some point. Whenever there’s a get-together there’s always about nine or 10 fiddles or guitars in the room.” Matt’s musical household led to his love for music. He played the tuba and trumpet in junior high before picking up the guitar at age 14. Soon he began to play classic rock and top 40 covers in pub bands, while he studied studio engineering. Things changed dramatically, however, when he discovered the blues. “Through Eric Clapton I got into B.B. King, which led me to the Chicago electric stuff and eventually back to the Mississippi Delta guys,” Matt said. “What really hit me most about the blues was its total honesty.” Matt was in Camrose a few years ago to promote his CD Something In Between. The audience, not knowing for sure what to expect, was blown away with his solid vocals and high energy blues style. He signed with Busted Flat Records for a string of exalted albums: 2007’s Second Time Around, 2008’s Something in Between, and 2009’s Piggyback (a duo set with harmonica king Mike Stevens) and Live at the Phoenix Theatre. By 2009, Matt had become a regular guest on Stuart McLean’s CBC radio show The Vinyl Café and had completed his fourth tour of the UK, where a newspaper called him “Canada’s greatest guitarist.” Matt’s newest album, Coal Mining Blues, was produced by Colin Linden (who co-wrote and plays on several tunes) and recorded at Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, New York. It features the band keyboardist Garth Hudson and Olabelle singer Amy Helm. Matt brings his exhilarating music to the Bailey in a show you don't want to miss. Tickets are available at the box office in the theatre.

Pro Coro concert Submitted
Pro Coro Canada, a professional chamber choir resident in Edmonton, will be presenting a concert in the Faith and Life Chapel at the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. The concert, entitled Once Upon a Time takes texts from Hans Christian Andersen’s stories and fairy tales that have been set to music by composers ranging from Orlando Gibbons sixteenth century “the Cries of London” through Ugis Praulins contemporary “The Nightingale” a North American premier. The accompanist for The Nightingale is Matthias Maute, an accomplished recorder player. Maute’s career has soared since winning first prize in the soloist category in the renowned Early Music Competition in Bruges, Belgium, in 1990. He made his debut at Lincoln Centre, New York, in December 2008. In 2003 and 2005, he was the featured recorder soloist at Boston Early Music Festival. The Conductor for this concert is Michael Zaugg, the newly appointed Artistic Director and Principal Conductor for Pro Coro Canada. During the search process Pro Coro Canada received twentyseven applications from candidates residing in seven countries located on four continents. Michael is known for his ability to create the environment where choristers sing their best. He chooses repertoire for concert programs that will both challenge the chorister and delight the audience. In this concert two works of which to take note are Bo Holten’s Rain, and Rusk and Rosebud, the piece that inspired Michael to become a conductor, and Ugis Praulins The Nightingale which uses twenty solo voices and a recorder to tell the story. Tickets are available at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus bookstore, Candler Art Gallery, Camrose, and at the door.

Missionaries to talk about power of forgiveness By Dan Jensen
John and Eloise Bergen could have chosen to be bitter and cynical after they were brutally assaulted while serving as missionaries in Kenya in July of 2008. Instead, they have chosen to forgive. "We just followed Jesus' example when He prayed, "Father, forgive them for they don't know what they are doing," said the Bergens in their book Forgiveness in the Face of Terror. "Joy and even uncontainable laughter overwhelmed us both and turned the tragedy into rejoicing. It was a time to celebrate Jesus, the son of God, for His miraculous intervention that saved our lives." The Bergens will be speaking on the power of forgiveness and reconciliation in a series of events over the Thanksgiving weekend, starting with a Ronning Centre consultation on Forgiveness as Resurrection at the Camrose Church of God the evening of Oct. 4 and as a Religion & Public Life Cafe at the Gateway Centre the morning of Oct. 5. They'll also be the guests at a Seniors' Brunch at Smitty's Oct. 5, a Community Youth Worship Night at Century Meadows Baptist Church, and a brunch at the Camrose Church of God Oct. 6. Their final presentation will be at a Camrose Church of God worship gathering Oct. 7. "We'll be talking about our own experiences, as well as what forgiveness means to the people of Africa who have been forced to watch their brothers, sisters, moms and dads being slaughtered by machetes because of tribal differences," said John. You can appreciate that with 42 tribes that nurse grudges against
John and Eloise Bergen wrote a book about their experience in Kenya.
each other decade after decade, it doesn't take much to set off a bloody atrocity." While the attack left him with two broken arms, a broken jaw, a fractured skull and lacerations to his head and legs, and Eloise with the scars that come from being the victim of rape,
John was never angry towards his attackers. "I didn't have any inkling of animosity towards those men," he said. "I am different now than I was when I grew up, when I was nursing grudges against everyone." The Bergens have found that
refusing to forgive can have negative health implications. "Even the scientists are on board nowadays teaching us that when we have wrong thoughts of anger and bitterness towards others, the brain sends chemicals into the rest of our system and we become sick emotionally, physically and mentally," said John. The Bergens have been to Kenya several times since the attack, and will be going again this November, to celebrate the opening of a school for three hundred children close to where they lived while doing their work. They have assisted the people there with drilling water wells and irrigated five acres of land they purchased so that it will be able to grow crops to feed orphaned children and their relatives. "Our first trip back was just eight months after we were attacked," said John. "The judge and the prosecutor who were handling the case told us that if we didn't go back for the court hearings against the attackers that there would be no point in having a court case at all. There was never any justice and the courtroom was just a horrible scene. The criminals interrogated the victims, Eloise and myself, and we were not allowed to speak. The judge never really passed a sentence because, as it was later discovered, she was related to the attackers." The most frightening part of the trial came on the first day. "The attackers were marched into the courtroom from the back without handcuffs and they were yelling at the reporters who had turned them in in the first place," said John. "The leader of the gang actually picked up a chair and hurled it at the chief of police."
Of the seven men who were in on the attack, five were eventually set free. "They were released because the prison authorities didn't have the foresight to put them into some kind of restorative institution where they could learn a new lifestyle," said John. "We heard they got into more trouble and that some of the other villagers doused three of them with gas and torched them." John and a pastor friend he knew had a chance to meet their attackers while they were still in prison. "The prison guards brought five of the men into a police office where we were safe and secure and watched over us," said John. "We told them we had come for the purpose of sharing God's love and forgiveness and that we didn't have any grudges against them. I had the privilege of sharing my own discovery of Jesus Christ 58 years ago and what a change Jesus made in my life when I embraced him. I presented this story of God's love to them and they all wanted to embrace Jesus Christ. I learned later from talking to this pastor that they were all very positive about the decision they had made." The Bergens are planning to write another book about what has happened to them in the last couple of years once they find themselves with a bit of extra time. "We're very busy right now talking at different places and living in our recreational vehicle," said John. "We are raising awareness about the need to forgive wherever we go across Canada and whenever we have another pocket full of cash we go over to Kenya. That is how we live. We are just a couple of nomads."
Farm Credit Corporation helps stock Food Bank shelves By Murray Green
Farm Credit Canada’s (FCC) Drive Away Hunger tractor tour hits Camrose on Tuesday, October 16. The tour starts in the Rose City with two tractors and trailers visiting several schools and then surrounding communities to collect food and cash donations for local food banks. FCC Drive Away Hunger is a unique food drive that involves driving a tractor and trailer through communities to collect food and cash donations for food banks across the country. More than 55,000 Albertans (that's more than the entire population of Grande Prairie) turn to food banks each month. "What's more concerning is that more than a third of people who rely on food banks are children under the age of 16," said Adam French, FCC Camrose district director. "We are working with six local schools for this worthy cause. Local tractor dealerships and FCC will be going to the schools to collect food, all for the local food bank. The food we collect stays in the community to help local people," said Adam. "Every year we have tours right across Canada to collect for the food banks, continued Adam. "The last time we had it here in Camrose was in 2008. We rotate it around other parts of Western Canada. When it came time to
Murray Green,Camrose Booster Farm Credit Canada Camrose district director Adam French, customer service representative Dione Suchodolski and relationship manager Lowell Befus are starting to collect food for the Drive Away Hunger campaign on Oct. 16. A tractor and trailer will be stopping at various schools to collect items for the local Food Bank.
decide where it was going to be this year, we put our hand up to bring it back to this side of Alberta." The project is to raise awareness of the need for rural food banks. "We connect with our rural roots and bring out a tractor to drive through our various communities," said Adam. "We
are going to Camrose, Stettler, Morrin, Paradise Valley, Vegreville and Lloydminster. Instead of driving the tractor down the road, we are partnering with local dealerships to provide a tractor for just around the city." FCC sets a national target. "The goal is to collect a million pounds of food and $500,000 in
cash," pointed out Adam. "Those numbers equate to $2 million pounds of food. Last year we hit $2.4 million pounds, so we made our goal. We don't set a local goal because it is about awareness and community involvement as well as collecting food." The food drive asks for cash to help purchase perishable
items. "The Food Bank loves it because they can buy the items when they need them. Items like milk don't have a long shelf life, so purchases need to be timed right for when the demand is there," Adam said. "The local (Wildrose) Coop also donated gift cards for people to use in just that manner. " The Drive Away Hunger tractor and trailer will be stopping at St. Patrick School, Sifton School, Jack Stuart School, Our Lady of Mount Pleasant School, the Camrose Children's Centre and the Camrose Preschool. "All of our staff are involved in some form. We look after a large area, so some people will help in Camrose, others in Stettler and staff will be at the Camrose Kodiaks' game on Oct. 5 as well," said Adam. "Everyone of the 13 staff members will receive a chance to participate. We not only support agriculture, we support the communities in which we work. Unfortunately, we need a Food Bank. But, fortunately we are able to have volunteers to make those services available. It is a way for us to give back to the community."

Kodiaks busy collecting points before winter arrives By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks scored three power play tallies in the third period to defeat the Whitecourt Wolverines 6-2 on Sept. 16. The unbeaten and smarter than average bears took advantage of the aggressive play by the Wolverines. The high number of penalties and a checking from behind infraction caught up with Whitecourt late in the game. Kieran O'Neil started the scoring in the game, but Whitecourt replied to knot the game up at 1-1 after the opening period. Camrose forward Tanner MacMaster netted the only marker in the second. Defenceman Jonathan Lashyn and the Wolverines' Ryan Berlin exchanged power play goals prior to the Kodiaks garnering three goals in a two-minute explosive outburst in offence. Ryan Huolt, Nolan Marshall and Brett Njaa were the marksmen for the Kodiaks. Goalie Matt Gibney stopped 29 of 31 shots for the win. Camrose recorded 37 shots on the Whitecourt net. The Kodiaks needed only one shot in overtime to beat the Bonnyville Pontiacs 4-3, Sept. 15. Lashyn scored the game winner in the first minute of extra time to give the Kodiaks two points against the previously unbeaten squad. "I have been watching coach's (Boris Rybalka) 'how to score' video and that has been helping me," said the defenceman and recent sniper. "(Kirsten) Odendaal did a great job of controlling the puck and settling down the play. He fired it up to (Brett) Njaa, who drew a couple of defenders to him, and he dropped it off to (Tanner) MacMaster who just jumped off the bench. He faked a couple of guys, which delayed the play until I was open. I was fortunate to be open and I closed my eyes and shot. I was lucky to have it bounce off the goalie;s stick and go in." Ty Clay, O'Neil and Njaa scored after Bonnyville collected the first two tallies of the game. Camrose went up 3-2 in the third, but Jackson Dudley forced overtime with his goal. Gibney started the game and made five of seven saves. Devin McDonald went in relief and shone by turning aside 22 of 23 shots fired in his direction.
Pro Sports Photography Camrose Kodiaks' forward Conner Mailey and goalie Matthew Gibney stop a rush by the Whitecourt Wolverines in Alberta Junior Hockey League action at the EnCana Arena on Sept. 16. The Kodiaks went on to win the game 6-2 against the newest entry in the league.
"Bonnyville has gotten off to a great start and they should be a dominant team this year. This was a great test for us," said Jonathan, who is second on the team in scoring. "We gave them two goals right at the start, but we responded well after that. We scored on a power play to get back into the game. It showed good poise by us. We need to focus on being better right from the start against good teams like Bonnyville. Overall, it was a great experience for us." The come-from-behind victory instilled some character in the dressing room. "It gave us confidence that you can't teach or buy anywhere," Jonathan said. "We are such a young team and hopefully this keeps the players
growing and learning. We have a snowball and we are just going to continue pushing it downhill to create something bigger." Camrose doubled the Lloydminster Bobcats 4-2 by scoring twice in the final frame. The Bobcats stayed even during the first 40 minutes, but lost their bite in the last frame. Josh Smith, Nelson Gaboury, Jakson Elynuik and Luc Vandale supplied the offence on Sept. 12 in the Border City. Camrose out shot the home team 29-18 with goalie Gibney making 16 saves. As with any young team, strong goaltending is important. "Our goalies made a few key saves at the right time and that really helps us," said Jonathan. "Coach has done a great job in
finding players and we use their strengths to make the team better. The coaches have helped the young guys adjust." Jonathan admitted the team has a little work to do on the power play. "Our special teams have played well, even though we would like to create a few more chances. The penalty killing has been pretty good for us as well. We are off to a good start, but there are always things on which to improve." The discipline of walking away from scrums has given the Kodiaks more power play opportunities. "It is key for us because we are not a big team. We want to use our speed to our advantage and play our game. When we play our game we will be success-
ful on most nights," concluded Jonathan. Drive Away Hunger
The Camrose Kodiaks are away for five games and return for a match against the Brooks Bandits on Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the EnCana Arena. This game features the Farm Credit Canada's Drive Away Hunger campaign. FCC Camrose staff will be on hand at the Kodiaks' home game to collect food donations for the Camrose and District Food Bank. One of the away games, against the Whitecourt Wolverines, will be classed as a home game during the AJHL showcase event held in Spruce Grove Sept. 27 to 29.
Vikings' player gives children the opportunity to play By Murray Green
University of Alberta Augustana Campus's business student and Vikings' defenceman Ryan Cornforth, believes every child has the right to participate in sports. Ryan organized a softball tournament on Sept. 16 at Duggan Park to raise funds for the Right to Play program. "It is an organization that I first heard about when I went to visit a friend of mine in New York. He is going to school down there," explained Ryan. "He just finished dropping off a donation for Right to Play after holding a dodgeball tournament. They broke a Guinness world record for dodgeball by going 48 and half straight hours. They used that event to raise funds." While visiting, Ryan had
Augustana student Ryan Cornforth and his friends on the various Vikings' teams played a charity softball game to raise funds for the Right to Play program that helps needy children around the world.
the opportunity to learn more about the Right to Play program. "I went to the office, met some people and I thought this is a cool organization," he said. "I decided to hold an event here in my last year at Augustana and try to do a little something for children outside of the rink."
The softball players had a fun time helping Ryan with his cause. "We had a great day for it and about 50 people showed up. The money we raised goes towards purchasing sports equipment and programs. Most of it ends up in third world countries to children who don't have a lot.
It is rooted in sports, but some of it includes survival skills. They teach games like mosquito bites. If they get bit by a mosquito they have to run to the hospital. They use games and sports such as soccer to play and be active." The Vikings hockey players participated in the event to
help their teammate. "Superstore, Sobeys, Tim Hortons, Battle River Hockey Plus and the Vikings Athletic department all made generous donations to help me with this project," said Ryan. "Melanie Hanrahan did a ton of the leg work to get things set up, and without her I'm quite confident the day would not have gone nearly as well." Ryan raised $888 for the Right to Play during the tournament. "I would love to get that number up over $1,000," he added. To help Ryan reach his goal and to give a donation, email rcornfor@ualberta.ca and he will pass the funds on to children who will benefit from them. Any donation over $25 will be issued a tax receipt. He will be sending in the donation forms on Oct. 1.

Those extra hands really make the work light! I am Maria Lobreau, the new Director of the Meals on Wheels program and Home Support Services. The people that we serve in these two programs are mostly seniors but are available to any adult in our community. The Home Support program employs qualified staff who provide routine cleaning and completion of household tasks in order for people to maintain their independence. We serve individuals who are socially isolated, frail, recently relocated, requiring short term help due to illness and those that lack sufficient support systems. Each person who qualifies for potential service will have to go through a short intake process where I would visit you at your home to determine your individual needs. Meals on Wheels program is made up of two parts; the meals and the volunteers. Meals are prepared on a daily basis at Rosehaven kitchen and consist of soup or salad, main course and dessert.
Spaces are still available in The Bethany Group’s newest life-lease residential development for 55+, centrally located in Camrose with picturesque views. Enjoy luxury, independent living in a supportive lifestyle that is flexible to your changing needs. One Bedroom, One Bedroom + Den, and Two Bedroom options still available.

Specialized diets are available and all meals are freshly prepared. Volunteer drivers come every lunch hour to pick up meals and deliver them to our customers. Meals on Wheels operates 365 days a year and would not be possible without our volunteer drivers. This program ensures that people living on their own are receiving a daily nutritious meal. There is a sense of “friendship” when drivers arrive at your home with a hot meal and then bring it inside and set it down on the kitchen table for you to enjoy. These two programs are extremely beneficial for people who live on their own, have recently had illness or injury and people with compromised mental capacity. If you are interested in volunteering or learning more about our programs contact Maria Lobreau at CDSS at 780672-0141, have a look at our website www.camrosefcss.ca or find us on Facebook: Camrose and District Support Services.

The Camrose Ski Club volunteers have been working hard on improving the trail system to prepare for the cross-country ski season. The club is making the trails safer by building a wider bridge across Stoney Creek, to make the sight lines better, drainage and sloping the hills to make them less steep. "The old bridge was too narrow and the creek narrowed around it. The banks were too close together and every spring when the water got high it would overflow around the bridge and take out the approaches to the bridge," explained Gerhard Lotz,
past-president of the club. "The old bridge was purely wood. This one is steel and will be a more solid structure. It will be wider and will be easier to maintain." The new bridge beams were installed on Sept. 19 by volunteers Doug French, Andreas Dahle, trail director Robert Early and Gerhard. "The bridge will be much better to cross for running. The other bridge wasn't unsafe, except when there was a gap between the trail and the bridge," said Gerhard. Rocks were added to the bridge base to make it stable and save it from erosion. The construction improved the environment by widening the creek and clearing
space for water flow. It also made it harder for beavers to build a dam near the bridge. "This is the second bridge of three that are being replaced. We received some funding from the Community Facilities Enhancement Program grant. We received $45,000 and it was for upgrading the trails. We had a matching grant through the City of Camrose and a lot of volunteer hours. Most of the cost will be the bridge replacements. We would like to complete the project before the ski season begins." Direction signs and maps of the trail system will also be installed. "We want more people to enjoy skiing on our trails.

Chev Spark Good things come in small packages
By Dan Jensen
The new Chevrolet Spark at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC is proof that good things come in small packages. "It's designed to excite firsttime buyers and city dwellers with its bold styling and colours, affordability, the safety of 10 standard air bags, fuel efficiency and maneuvrability," said McClellan Wheaton dealer principal Will McClellan. Design that grabs
While the Spark looks like a three-door hatch, designers cleverly disguised the rear doors by integrating the handles into the C-pillar area. The technique gives Spark its sporty appearance without sacrificing five-door comfort and utility. Spark's prominent two-tier grille and bowtie logo preserve Chevrolet's signature global look. A wheels-out, body-in stance, stretched windshield accentuated by a single arc roofline, bodycolour front door handles and body sides free of cladding make the Spark appear more sleek, aggressive and upscale. Dramatically-ized, elliptically shaped halogen headlamps stretch from the front fascia to the A-pillar. Their clear, polycarbonate lenses and chrome-coated headlamp bezels are sculpted into the forward corners, and accents within the housings offset the chrome bezels for a strong, visual statement. Stylish and spacious cabin
Spark's interior complements its sporty exterior with comfort, spaciousness and style. Its most identifiable element is a motorcycle-inspired column-mounted
instrument cluster that features one of two large, full-colour LCD screens and provides digital feedback to the driver in a design that's bold, fun and easy to view at a glance. Decorative inserts in the front door and instrument panel add a premium touch, as does ice blue ambient lighting and faceplates across the door pockets and dash. Heated leatherette seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel are included on Spark 2LT. Air conditioning and power windows are standard across the lineup. When it comes to storage space, numerous bins are located throughout the cabin, while the cargo area offers 323 litres behind the rear seat. Spark also offers 884 litres with the rear seat folded – and the rear seat features a 60-40 split that allows long items, such as skis, to be transported along with a rearseat passenger. Infotainment
For Spark, Chevrolet MyLink – standard on 1LT and 2LT models – consists of a large colour touch screen, AM/FM/ SiriusXM Satellite Radio (with three trial months of service), digital clock, Bluetooth streaming audio for music and select phones, six speakers, and voice recognition for connected phones with this capability. MyLink Radio operates by integrating the owner's compatible smartphone and stored media – via Bluetooth, plug-in outlet or USB – with the radio. This lets owners enjoy simple, safe and personalized connectivity while their smartphone is stowed.
Powertrain
The Spark is powered by an Ecotec 1.25 litre dual-overhead cam four-cylinder engine with continuously variable valve timing that delivers SAE-certified 84 horsepower. It is mated to a standard five-speed manual transmission and a four-speed automatic transmission is available. The Spark achieves an estimated 6.92 litres per 100 km in combined city and highway driving with the manual transmission, and 7.35 litres per 100 km with the automatic transmission. The Chevrolet Spark has the lowest estimated fuel cost of any Chevrolet small car, with the exception of the Volt. The engine was developed using best practices from GM Powertrain technical centres. For North America, its displacement was enlarged slightly over other
markets' 1.2 litre displacement, giving the engine more midrange torque that translates into a greater feeling of power on the highway. It also combines competitive performance with sophisticated technologies such as dual continuous variable cam phasing and an electronically controlled thermostat to give customers a low-maintenance engine with reduced emissions. Spark's body-frame integrated structure is tight and stiff for sportier driving dynamics. The electric power steering and MacPherson strut front suspension are designed to deliver taut, tight handling characteristics that better connect the driver with the road and provide outstanding overall stability. Antilock brakes, StabiliTrak electronic stability control and Hill Start Assist are standard. Spark also has a tight turn-
Trevor Stetar McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC ing circle of only 9.9 metres, which enhances its maneuvrability in urban areas. Safety
In addition to crash-avoidance technologies such as StabiliTrak and ABS, Spark is equipped with 10 standard air bags, including both driver and passenger front knee air bags to reduce the risk of lower extremity injuries in frontal crashes. Dual-stage frontal air bags, seat-mounted side air bags and side curtain air bags that extend over the front and rear seating rows are also standard. You can see the 2013 Chevrolet Spark at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 385048 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780672-2355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

Meeting Creek-Bashaw area resident Leona Oberg was the recipient of a Queen's Jubilee Award this summer. Oberg was nominated by Bashaw Town Council for her years of volunteering and community work. She has canvassed for the Red Cross, worked at blood donor clinics, and assisted with 4-H. She was a convenor for Bashaw Bench for 23 years and convenor for the tourist booth for over 40 years. "I have thoroughly enjoyed everything," said Oberg. "I love to help people and visit with them." Oberg is still, at 88 years, an active member of the Bashaw Senior Centre, and loves to curl, play cards and travel around central Alberta with the 55 Plus Club and a circle of friends. The Queen's Jubilee Award was accompanied by a letter from Governor General David Lloyd Johnson thanking Oberg for her dedicated service to her peers, her community and to Canada. "The contributions you have made to our nation are most commendable and deserve our praise and admiration," said Johnston. The Queen's Jubilee Award was created to mark the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's ascension to the throne.
Council reviews finances At the August 17 City council meeting, council reviewed the midyear financial report for the City of Camrose. The report provided a comparison between June 30, year to date actuals versus the annual 2012 Budget on a departmental basis. For each department, the variance to the annual budget and the resulting percentage of budget dollars spent do date were highlighted. In the majority of the departments there have not been a lot of significant variances from the established budget Mayor Marshall Chalmers said, “Administration and staff have done a very good job of managing the operational budget. The actual operating results are very close to budget. We are not expecting any major issues with meeting the budget. Mayor Chalmers also mentioned, “Budgets are best estimates for providing city services for normal conditions, however all that can change should an unusual event occur such as several significant snow falls like we had in early 2011.” The City administration is currently working on the 2013 budget and projections for the next three years. Council will be reviewing the new budget in November and there will be a public open house regarding the yearly budget.

Camrose Buffaloes run over rival atom football Wolverines By Murray Green
The Camrose Buffaloes atom football squad took on the neighbouring Wetaskiwin Wolverines on Saturday, Sept. 8, in the first game of the regular season. The Buffaloes squeaked out a hard fought 6-0 victory that had the defence come up big in the last few minutes of the game to seal the victory. "Owen MacPherson scored the Buffaloes' only major with a four-yard run, which was
set up by some tough rushing by Kris Lee," said coach Fitz Sherman. "The offensive line played well and opened up some big holes for Kris to run through. The defence played well and rarely allowed the Wolverines past midfield. The defence played with a bend, but didn't break attitude." The Buffaloes visited the Ft. Saskatchewan Storm, but were out-scored on Sept. 15. For three quarters the Buffaloes were able
to quiet the Storm, but succumbed to fatigue and injuries in the fourth quarter and lost 30-14. "The offense had a masterful performance for three quarters with a good mix of running and passing plays. Once again the offensive line opened big holes and made numerous blocks to keep the Storm defence guessing," coach Fitz said. "The defensive line had numerous sacks and forced a few fumbles as they dominated the
Storm line for three quarters. It was a total team effort with both veterans and rookies contributing." Players with outstanding plays in the game were: Kevin Kittler and Noah Segal (both for sacks, forced fumbles, and recovered fumbles); Kris Lee (fullback who had players draped on him while rushing); Owen MacPherson (quarterback used passing and bootlegs for gains); Kieran
Sherman (wide receiver who had many long runs, blocked when called upon, and pulled in a few catches), Joe McDougall (nose guard plugged up the middle); Aleksandr Kozak (great blocking); and Jase McCarthy (great blocking). "This was a great game on which to build as we prepare and tweak a few things to get ready for our home games on Sept. 29 and Oct. 6," concluded Fitz.

New group supports Battle River Railway By Murray Green The Battle River Railway is expanding. The locally owned railway is known in the area for sending grain to the ports for shipping around the world. As early as next spring, the train could be transporting people. A new society has been formed, called the Friends of the Battle River Railway. The society's purpose is to support and promote the use of the Battle River Railway as a passenger train for special events. The society has representatives from each of the six communities along the line, Kelsey, Rosalind, Heisler, Forestburg, Galahad and Alliance. Muriel Fankhanel of Alliance is the inaugural chair of the society. The first task of the society is to raise enough money to buy a nice passenger car to transport people within the communities. A passenger car could cost between $70,000 and $100,000. Talks are currently underway for a big exciting event in the early spring. The railway has two locomotives and a caboose at present. The Battle River Railway is a community-owned line located in central Alberta. The intent is to prevent further loss of transportation and agricultural infrastructure. The BRR will operate as a user-friendly, shortline where producers and other interested parties will be able to consider both originating and terminating freight on the line. For more information on the BRR visit www.battleriverrailway.ca or contact Matt Enright at 780-582-2493 or 780-678-0212.

Lunty garners two straight Queen City Marathon wins By Murray Green
The toughest thing in sports is to repeat as a champion when everyone else is gunning for you. Local runner Brendan Lunty defied the odds by capturing his second straight Queen City Marathon, Sept. 9 in Regina. To say Brendan loves running in Regina is an understatement. It was Brendan's fifth win in the last eight years. Although the 34-year-old runner wanted a cooler day, he still posted a good time. He ran the
marathon in 2:38.39, which was a little off last year's mark of 2:37.02. Brendan won the Queen City Marathon almost 14 minutes ahead of Regina's Ted Jaleta, the hometown favourite. He crossed the line in 2:52.02 and was followed by Neal Zalusky of Saskatoon. About 4,300 runners entered the various lengths of the full marathon, half marathon and walk. Jason Ernst of Camrose placed 96th in the full marathon in Regina.

Lightning strikes Trojans By Murray Green The Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team was blanked 58-0 against a strong Hunting Hills Lightning team on Sept. 13. "The Trojans' defence stepped it up in the second half and a few drives were put together on offence, but they stalled prior to putting points on the board," said coach Adam Belanger. With both of the non-con-
ference games completed, the Trojans can now focus on other teams in the league. "With the progress the team has made in the last two weeks, I expect a good showing from our team," added coach Adam. After a game in Rocky Mountain House on Sept. 28, the Trojans host the Ponoka Broncos on Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. CCHS finishes the regular season in Stettler with an Oct. 11 game against the Wildcats.

Grey Cup train thrills local football fans By Dan Jensen
Canadian Football League fans decked out in the jerseys of their favourite teams climbed aboard the Grey Cup 100 Train in Camrose Sept. 18. "It is fitting that the train stops here for a couple of reasons," said Mayor Marshall in an afternoon welcoming ceremony. "One of our local citizens (Mike McLean) was a member of the Edmonton Eskimos for a long period of time and the railway is a big part of the success of our community." Tourism Camrose coordinator Hazel Cail was impressed with the large number of Camrose and area residents, including school children, who turned out to greet the train and view its displays. "It is just a great experience for Camrose," said Cail. The train was accompanied by Kate McKenna, from TSN, who served as the emcee for the ceremony. "We've been on the tour for two weeks and it has been amazing to see the connections that so many people have with the Grey Cup," said McKenna. McKenna was treated to a tour of the city just after the train first arrived in the morning. "We took her and her camera man around Camrose for an hour and a half and showed them lots of views of Camrose," said Cail. "Bernell Odegard, from the Lefse House, set something up where she was able to put on an apron and flip some lefse." CFL communications officer Carley Smith said she has seen many fans become emotional over the opportunity they have been given to step onto the train, view the displays and have their photos taken with the Grey Cup. "They love being able to get their photos taken with the Cup and getting the opportunity to touch it," she said. "They're excited when they find the name of someone they know that has been engraved onto it." Ray Blacklock said the fact that the Grey Cup 100 Tour stopped in Camrose is significant and shows the importance of athletics, sports and football to this part of the province. "It's great to see all the school children here who are taking part in the event." Blacklock said he has watched the Grey Cup championship game for many years. "I have never been to a Grey Cup game myself but I enjoy watching the games on TV. I suppose a special memory I would have is the run Crazy Legs (Jackie Parker) made into the end zone a few years ago." Jim Rasmussen said the Grey Cup 100 Train Tour helps promote football and gives fans and kids the chance to see something they normally wouldn't. "They are not likely to drive to Toronto just to look at the Grey Cup and if they are there, it might be for something else." Rasmussen said while he is not a big football fan, he will be off to the upcoming Edmonton Saskatchewan game at Commonwealth Stadium to assist with a fund-raiser for the Rotary Club, and watches the last few games of the season. He said his favourite Grey
Cup memory was the Fog Bowl, in Toronto, in 1962. "They had to cancel the game half-way through and play the rest the next day." John Person, an Edmonton Eskimos season ticket holder for the last 15 years, said the Grey train tour is an excellent way for the CFL to celebrate 100 years of tradition. "It is nice that it is able to stop here right in our home town." Person said his favourite Grey Cup game was the one in which the Winnipeg Blue Bombers played in Edmonton. "It was freezing cold and everyone was in their skidoo suits, drinking lots of hot chocolate" Jerry Iwanus expressed appreciation to City officials for their work in making sure Camrose was on the list of stops for the Grey Cup 100 Train Tour. "I am thrilled to see it," he said. "I have been a CFL fan for 43 years and this is just part of who I am as a Canadian." Iwanus said the Grey Cup and the Grey Cup game is, for many Canadians, a symbol of unity. "You have the Stanley Cup championship but there is no one single event that everybody plans for and gets together for like the Grey Cup. Grey Cup Sunday is a special day for a lot of people. It is a big deal in our family and makes me feel like I am connected to all the other fans across the country." Brad Hackl and his wife, who were wearing Saskatchewan Roughriders jerseys, drove all the way from Red Deer to see the train and the Grey Cup, which he called a Canadian icon. "I wasn't going to miss it," he said. "When they put on something like this you have to go." Hackl said his favourite Grey Cup game was the one in 1989, in which Dave Ridgeway kicked a field goal to beat the Hamilton Tiger Cats. The game has been described by some as the greatest Grey Cup game ever played. "We missed winning the Grey Cup twice in the last few years but you have to take what you can get." Camrose is one of 100 communities across the country that is hosting the Grey Cup 100 Train Tour, sponsors of which include Rona, Dow AgroSciences, Via, Canadian Pacific, Cisco and Telus. Visitors to the Dow AgroSciences tent set up next to the train had the chance to enter a draw for 160 acres of PrePass and learn about a $1,000 Nexera Canola Signing Bonus. They were also encouraged to trigger donations to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank by pressing a "like" button on the Nexera's Facebook page. The Grey Cup 100 Train featured a museum car in which fans were able to learn about the history of the Grey Cup, a trophy car featuring the Grey Cup, and a team car featuring upto-date league paraphernalia, mini lockers of all CFL teams, and speeches from former CFL coaches Michael Clemons and Wally Buono.

Lawson Canada's new Chief of Defence Staff Kevin Sorenson, MP, Crowfoot Canada’s New Chief of Defence Staff
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced that Lieutenant-General Thomas J. Lawson, currently Deputy Commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), will be appointed Chief of the Defence Staff, and promoted to the rank of General. In recent years, Canadians have become quite familiar with the Chief of Defence Staff. As a nation, we all grew to know two previous Chiefs of Defence: General Walt Natynczyk and General Rick Hillier. General Hillier became a household name in Canada as he served from February 4, 2005 to July 1, 2008, during the height of Canada’s
Mission to Afghanistan. We all watched as General Natynczyk oversaw Canada’s departure from our combat role in Afghanistan. Our Prime Minister is confident that Lieutenant-General Lawson is the right leader for the Canadian Armed Forces and will bring a clear vision and strong values to the role. His experience, team-building skills and collaborative approach will help position the Canadian Armed Forces for the future. Lieutenant-General Thomas Lawson was promoted to Brigadier-General in 2007 and appointed Commandant of the Royal Military College. In 2009, he was promoted to Major-General and became Assistant Chief of the Air Staff. He assumed his current position as Deputy Commander of NORAD in July 2011.
Our Conservative government has been re-building the Canadian Forces since the ‘rustout’ years our troops experienced under the Liberals. Since 2006, we have made significant investments in Canada’s defence. We introduced the ‘Canada First’ Defence Strategy that sets a detailed road-map for the modernization of the Canadian Forces. It puts forward clear roles and missions for the Canadian Forces, outlining a level of ambition that will enable the CF to maintain the ability to deliver excellence at home, be a strong and reliable partner in the defence of North America, and project leadership abroad by making meaningful contributions to operations overseas. The Canada First Defence Strategy is based on an extensive
and rigorous analysis of the risks and threats facing Canada in the years to come, as well as the government's vision for defence. Through stable and predictable defence funding, including balanced investments across the four pillars upon which military capabilities are built – personnel, equipment, readiness and infrastructure – the Strategy will increase the size of the Forces and replace their core capabilities. It is a 20-year $490-billion funding plan. LGen Lawson is a veteran pilot and he gets into the cockpit of his new position in the postBudget 2012 era. All federal departments offered 5-10 per cent - some more - reductions in their budgets to help eliminate the federal deficit in the midterm. Unlike his two predeces-
sors, he has the added burden of manoeuvring with the Department of National Defence's budget being reduced $1.1 billion by 2014-15. At the same time, he will continue to pursue our Canada First Defence Strategy within these budgetary constraints. As an accomplished and decorated CAF member, he knows that all Canada's troops - for generations - train to bravely commit to: “any operation under any condition”. We wish our new Chief of Defence all the best.

Legislature Report Doug Griffiths, MLA, Battle River - Wainwright Community Spirit Program Donation Grant at work in Battle River - Wainwright
As your MLA, I know how important our culture is to residents of Battle River - Wainwright, and to all Albertans. Local cultural activities and programs connect people to their communities, helping to build a sense of identity and belonging. Right across the province, non-profit and charitable organizations provide vital services that help make our communities stronger and more vibrant, enriching the lives of my family and yours. These organizations reach into our communities, and into the lives of our neighbours, friends and fellow citizens in so many ways: they help children discover the magic of music, they provide fire departments with lifesaving equipment, and offer warm meals and a dose of kindness and compassion to our most vulnerable. In doing all these things, and many more, community organizations have a profound impact on the world around them, and the lives of Albertans. Since 2008, the Community Spirit Program has been bolstering the efforts of local organizations. It is a donor-driven program, with a goal to increase individual charitable giving by encouraging Albertans, through funding incentives, to support their favourite organizations. Since its inception, the program has distributed $68.4 million to 7,131 successful applicants representing all aspects of the nonprofit and voluntary sector, from human services to the arts. Once again, Alberta Culture is inviting nonprofit and charitable organizations to apply for a proportional grant based on the value of the donations they receive from individual Albertans. This program has served our constituency very well. Among many others, beneficiaries include: the Alliance & District Agricultural Society, the Bashaw Youth Drop-In Foundation, the Daysland & District Cultural Arts Society, the Flagstaff Food Bank, the Strome Community Church, and the Town of Wainwright Library Board. In fact, over the last year, 57 of our organizations received this grant – some for as much as $25,000! For
me, this says two very important things: first, that we have an incredible number of non-profit and charitable organizations in our region, doing commendable work for the benefit of all our communities; and second, that our government has made these organizations and the work they do a priority. We understand how important these contributions are to life in Alberta. As your elected official, and as a member of this government, both of these facts make me very proud, and signal a bright future for Battle River-Wainwright. If you are affiliated with an organization like this, I encourage you to explore the Community Spirit Program to see how it might help you continue the invaluable work you do.
Mr. Ambassador
Wanted: Advocate to help Alberta landowners protect their land rights
The Alberta government is hiring Alberta’s first ever Property Rights Advocate. The recruitment competition for a professional to head the property rights advocate office began on September 7, 2012. Under the leadership of Premier Redford, a Property Rights Task Force was set up. Albertans told us setting up a Property Rights Advocate Office was important to them during consultations in December 2011 and January 2012. As the task force visited communities across the province, it heard the concerns of more than 1,400 Albertans and their suggestions for securing property rights. We listened and we’re taking action. The new Property Rights Advocate will be an important resource for Alberta property owners. He or she will bring an extensive background in property rights and land use, and well-developed communication skills, to the role. We know land rights and the appropriate management of resources is important to many Albertans. That is why the Property Rights Advocate Office has been set-up: to help landowners with addressing their land rights concerns by helping them navigate through the various processes and avenues of compensation and appeal. An overview of the Property Rights Office and the Advocate position is on the Justice and Solicitor General websiton the link in the Spotlight section.
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Jorge de Paz was declared Guatemala tourism ambassador for Canada on Aug. 1. De Paz has always been an ambassador for Guatemala and human rights and he was honoured by outgoing tourism minister Pedro Pablo Duchez with the title of tourism ambassador.
Accomplished Albertans recognized Three accomplished Albertans will be recognized for their significant professional contributions and inducted into the Agriculture Hall of Fame. Each inductee has been a catalyst for change in advancing their areas of expertise. The inductees are Dr. Tom Droog, Dr. Ieuan Evans, and Mabel Church Hamilton. “These three individuals are terrific champions for their industries and have dedicated their lives to ensuring Alberta’s agricultural industry progresses in new ways,” said Verlyn Olson, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. “I am honoured to induct these three individuals and thank them for
their dedication, ingenuity and hard work.” Dr. Tom Droog of DeWinton, and his late wife, Emmy, started growing sunflowers as an alternative crop and soon turned Spitz, which sells sunflower and pumpkin seeds in re-sealable bags, into a snack product that captured 75 per cent of the Canadian market. Parkland County’s Dr. Ieuan Evans determined that prairie soil lacking copper hampers cereal production and when the mineral was added crop yields soared. As a horticulturalist, he propagated a species of cherry tree that is now sold commercially throughout Canada and the United States.
Mabel Church Hamilton of Innisfail, helped establish Angus cattle as one of the largest and most influential breeds in Canada. As a founding member of the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency, she was instrumental in establishing the national cattle identification program. Since 1951, the Alberta Agriculture Hall of Fame has recognized outstanding contributions to agriculture and rural development. To date, 126 leaders have been named to the Hall of Fame. The awards are presented every two years and this year’s ceremony takes place at the Delta Edmonton South on October 5.

Helpful Tips for Writing Classified Ads Which Get Results! Be Thorough Sure you want your ad to stand out from the rest, but don’t skimp on the sort of information that sells. The item’s condition, size, age, brand name, and color are some of the basics readers want to know. Without them, your ad may be overlooked.
Steer Clear of Abbreviations Okay, so you want to include all the important basics. Don’t use strange abbreviations because our ads are designed to spell all the important details. Besides, you are not paying by the line, but by the word, so there is really no need to abbreviate.
Be Honest Exaggerating your item’s finer points may bring in a lot of responses, but a buyer who’s misled won’t appreciate it and will take his business somewhere else.

State Your Price The cost of an item is one of the most important concerns of want ad readers. Ads showing prices are ones which get results. Giving a price also serves to “weed out” those buyers not in your price range.
Be Accessible Including a telephone number or address puts you in touch with potential buyers. Be sure to state the hours you can be reached: a caller who can’t get through the first time often won’t call again.
Don’t hesitate to call us with any questions or problems you may have regarding advertising. Our professionally trained sales staff know the ropes, and would be happy to pass their know-how on to you. That’s why we’re here, to help you get the results you deserve.

Augustana running off to good start By Murray Green
The University of Alberta Augustana Campus cross-country running teams finished in the top three in both the women's and men's events in Red Deer on Sept. 15. "We have a great group this year of 30 to 40 runners. We have a very solid team," said coach Gerhard Lotz. "We don't have Andy Pohl this year. He is back in New Zealand. Other than that, our team is basically back and should be better than last year. Our strength is our depth." The women's team was led by Kalli Green who grabbed the ninth spot to make the top 10 with a time of 22:04 minutes in the five kilometre race. Augustana placed second in the best four total times and third in the best three times in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference division. "We came in fifth in the ACAC last year, so I was pleasantly surprised with the second place finish because it is a strong field again this year," said Gerhard. "It is hard to say after one race, but it looks like we are going to challenge for some medals at the end of the season." Kalli was followed by Lauren Brookes in 11th, Keeley MacCulloch in 13th, Jennifer Paterson in 17th, Victoria Frivold in 22nd, Nellie Dow in 23rd, Davis Alton in 28th, Ilona Gyapay in 39th, Karly Renman in 43rd, Brianna Schultz in 48th and Sarah McCrae in 51st. Kieran Baird crossed the finish line in seventh place on the men's side to lead the Vikings. He recorded a time of 28:55 over eight kilometres. Augustana was second in the three best times and third in the total recorded times of the top four runners. "Kieran ran a great first race and our men's team came in tied for second with Grant MacEwan. Lethbridge was ahead of us,"
Robert Renman Photo Kalli Green, left, of the Augustana Vikings, fights to stay ahead of Grant MacEwan runner Lesley Koopman in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference open race held by Red Deer College on Sept. 15. Kalli stayed in front to place ninth in the women's event.
explained Gerhard. "We ended up in third because the tie-breaker was the next runner. MacEwan came in third at nationals last year and they have a strong team, so I'm very happy with the results." Teammates Andrew Brisbin came in ninth, Ryan Burlingame was 10th, Ryan Lindsay was 22nd, Nick Lenko was 27th and Eric Steele was 37th. "We have our home race on Sept. 29 and we are hosting the ACAC finals on Oct. 27," Gerhard added. "The first race will be a
preview for the finals. Our race will be an open event for all runners. We expect more than 100 runners at each event." Hosting the finals on the Camrose running trails could give the Vikings an advantage. "Knowing the course and running it every day at practice should give the athletes familiarity with the trails. We have a great trail system," said Gerhard. "Sleeping in your own bed is also an advantage. We don't have to travel and that is always a bonus."

Round Hill Multi Club looking for new members Round Hill Multi Club is initiating a new program this year called "Cleaver Kids" for ages six to eight. Cleaver Kids do not pay the provincial fee, but will pay a club fee of $10 to cover cost of materials. The Round Hill Multi Club's regular program serves youth ages nine to 21. Round Hill 4-H Multi meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month at the Round Hill Hall at 7 p.m. This year our projects will vary: Exploring 4-H may include: wood working; crafts/ plastic weaving; gardening, or other subjects provided there is a leader to help. A sport can be a project. Round Hill Multi provides community beautification around our hall. Provincial fees this year are $55 per member; club fees will be assessed on an as needed basis. In the past years members have enjoyed touring the vet clinic in Tofield; going to winter camps; participating in the local suppers and farmers’ markets; entering their items made into the local Ag Society summer bench fair. Leaders encourage members to have their record books and diaries completed so they have an opportunity to be eligible for award medallions, trips, and scholarships available to 4-H members. High school students can achieve more credits in CTS skills, through the 4-H program as well. Members learn commitment to their club by attending 70 per cent of meetings; participating in a communication event, and helping with Achievement Day.

United Church is going messy Submitted
On Sunday, September 30, Camrose United Church is hosting Messy Church. What is Messy Church? Messy Church is a concept born in the United Kingdom and began as a fresh expression of church. It is designed to make space to encounter a God who loves people just as they are and wants to get to know them better. The vision of Messy Church is and always has been to use the wonderful tool of creativity and food as a way of helping people come close to God and each other. Messy Church is a way to live at the edge, where church has moved for many people, and to rebuild community. So it means perhaps gathering other than on Sunday when church usually happens. It means reaching out and inviting in the community which happens to be one of the three strategies connected to our vision and mission statement: Camrose United Church will be a safe community where no one feels alone and everyone feels at home. Together, we celebrate and share God’s love. Messy church is designed to happen once a month, when families (any configuration thereof) come together to enjoy social time, making things together, eating together and celebrating God through word, music and prayer. The principles of Messy Church are: to provide an opportunity for people of all ages to worship together, to help people of all ages feel that they belong in a faith community and to each other, to help people have fun together, to give people a chance to express their God-given creativity, to invite people to experience Christian Community and to introduce Jesus through hospitality, friendship, stories and worship. So we invite you to join us on September 30, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., to get your hands mucky in the crafts, spill ketchup and mustard on your shirt as we enjoy hotdogs and vegetables. Our ice cream may drip too. Then we will quiet our hearts and hear a story about Jesus and a vine! We’ll sing and pray. Oh, and then there’s the dancing part. No dress code! Everyone is welcome. Call Mary Ann at 780672-2176 for more information.
