Create a peaceful and healthy sleeping environment
B AT H R E T R E A T®
It is easy to overlook the benefits of a good night’s sleep. Without adequate rest, a person can be left feeling irritable, distracted and sluggish. Those who repeatedly do not get enough sleep could be facing other health problems as well. For some, the secret to getting a better sleep is modifying their sleeping environment.

In some instances, lack of sleep or too much sleep might be indicative of a medical condition, but it could just be related to poor sleep hygiene and an uncomfortable sleeping environment. Making some changes could make all the difference.

* Start with your mattress. You will spend between seven to 10 hours in your bed each and every night. An uncomfortable mattress could be an underlying factor in your sleep problems. If your bed is several years old, it could pay to invest in a new mattress and box spring. If you sleep with your spouse and your bed is too small, upgrading to a larger size could provide the room you need. If you cannot afford a new mattress, buying a mattress topper in memory foam could mask any problems for the time being. * Balance light and dark. In order to trigger sleepiness at the right time, it is essential to get at least 30 minutes of natural sunlight each day during the morning or afternoon. In the evening, begin dimming the lights to trigger the body’s natural internal clock and stimulate the production of the natural hormone melatonin, which relaxes the body into sleep. Keep a dark bedroom – invest in blackout curtains if need be. * Consider white noise. Giving your brain a noise to associate with relaxing sleep can help you drift off more quickly. White noise can also mask other sounds that may distract sleep, such as traffic outside or a partner snoring. White noise can come from a special alarm clock that provides soothing sounds of rain or waves. Many people find running a fan in the bedroom provides the right amount of noise and also helps circulate air throughout the room.

* Make the bedroom a cozy retreat. Your bedroom should be a relaxing sanctuary. Fill it with cozy cushions and pillows. Make sure the room is clean and clutter-free. Relaxing blues and purples can be soothing colors to use in decorating, and the use of lavender essential oil could also add to the relaxing environment.

Emergency responders test their skills at airport By Dan Jensen
Camrose Fire Department, Camrose Police Service and Camrose EMS responded to a call of an airplane that had skidded off the runway in an Airport Emergency Response Plan exercise Oct. 17. "It went really well today," said Camrose Fire Chief Peter Krich. "We were hoping to see good coordination between the emergency responders and the airport people and that is exactly what happened. You need good communication between airport staff and emergency response people to make sure that all the pieces are in place and that we are controlling the hazards at the airport as well as resolving the situation with the incident." Camrose Fire Department and Camrose EMS were on the scene attending to the airplane and the four passengers (drama students from the high school) who were inside within 15 minutes of receiving the call for service. "That is a normal response time," said Chief Krich. "You get certain people like the police who are able to respond quicker because they are on the street already. They are the ones who are able to size up the scene and report back to the other responders what is happening." Transport Canada requires airport operators to conduct on-site emergency response exercises every four years as part of their certification. "The exercises are priceless from the standpoint of understanding everything that has to be done in the event of a real situation," said Chief Krich. "It is a chance to put into practice what we talk about every year during table top exercises where we discuss the plan and how it is supposed to go. We are actually following the plan and the sequences that it sets out. You can't just go out there onto the runway. You have to follow the proper procedures." Camrose Airport manager Wayne Steel placed a call to NAV Canada's Flight Information Centre asking that taxiway, where the simulation was taking place, be closed. "Today's exercise was on the parallel taxiway rather than on the runway, so for the purpose of the exercise we just advised them that the parallel taxiway was closed, but in the simulation we let them know that we were essentially treating that parallel taxiway as our runway," said City engineer Jeremy Enarson. "His instructions to them in the scenario was that the crash happened on the main runway and that we had to close the main runway."

Right photo: members of the Camrose Fire Department spray fire retardant at the airplane.

Celebrating scholars and activism In recent weeks, the media has reported on celebrities who have expressed opposition to the oil sands, most notably Robert Redford and Neil Young: Redford created a short video decrying the dirty oil produced in northern Alberta; Young likened the oil sands region to Hiroshima. The Alberta government has tried to downplay these criticisms, insisting that they lack “credibility,” by virtue of the fact that they come from a movie star and a rock star, respectively. Sadly, this is exactly why celebrities are credible. Credible means “believable” or “capable of persuading,” and a great many people, I dare say, are prepared to believe celebrity pronouncements—whether they come in the form of media releases, or YouTube videos or simply as “tweets”—precisely because they bear the imprint of the cultural elite. It hardly matters whether or not Redford and Young have the knowledge and expertise to make informed pronouncements about the oil sands. What matters is surely the mere fact that cultural icons can, and indeed are, encouraged to issue proclamations about energy policy,

the environment, social justice, geopolitics, and so on. These proclamations, moreover, are treated as news and become part of the discourse surrounding important issues: they do have an effect in the wider world, going some way towards shaping public opinion and perhaps even in a roundabout manner affecting policy decisions and other outcomes. The same phenomenon, namely “pronouncements from influence,” can also be observed in the relationship between universities and society at large. It a commonplace that university professors, irrespective of discipline, engage in “activism”
of one kind or another, which can include but is not limited to political punditry, environmental activism, or adopting and articulating positions on social justice issues. To be clear, I am not arguing that anyone should be denied the right to hold points of view concerning politics, or social issues, or the environment, nor that anyone should be denied the right to speak and act according to those views. What I am pointing out here is that the issue of how and when scholars should engage with issues of general public concern is strikingly similar to the issue of celebrity causes and activism, insofar as the same problem attends. In both cases, a person with an authoritative imprimatur—authority derived from fame or, in the case of academics, authority derived from institutional affiliation (the university as a house of experts)— speaks out as a person of influence and expertise. Consider Neil Young. Young is a kind of institutional figure: a famous musician; a rock star of long-standing; a person who is listened to and venerated by many thousands of people in his capacity as a singer/songwriter/ performer. His status as a singer and songwriter
of great repute lends to any other statements he might make the weight of his already-extant fame and reputation as a musician and, increasingly, as a cultural icon. It certainly doesn’t give him expert knowledge of the oil sands; I would argue, moreover, that while he is free to think whatever he wants, he should restrict himself to what he should be doing—composing and performing pop music— rather than issuing carte blanche statements about energy policy and the environment. He clearly cares a great deal about these things, but so what? Is it appropriate—or even ethical—to exploit fame as a pop musician to bolster claims to truth as an environmental activist? I believe that university professors should be held to the same standards. That is, a professor of music, like myself, should not make public pronouncements—as an “expert” or “intellectual” or faculty member of a university—on topics outside of my area of expertise. I should not speak out—as an “intellectual”—on topics such as the oil sands, or energy policy, or anything else that does not directly relate to my knowledge of musical and cultural histo-
ry, and arguably that does not relate directly to my role as a teacher and researcher. Knowledge generation, as they say, is my business. And nothing else. This is a difficult issue, and certainly one that relates directly to this very column, which is meant to serve as a kind of bridge between the university and the wider world. How does one serve as a scholar and academic while at the same time being involved in a meaningful way in social or political causes—issues outside of the proper business of the academy—that are unquestionably impor ta nt? I’m not sure what the answer might be, other than for academics to tread lightly, to be mindful of the responsibility that comes with inf luence, and to engage with social and political issues as a private citizen rather than as a member of the intellectual, institutional elite. Or, in other words, as the curmudgeonly American author, academic and public intellectual Stanley Fish famously admonished his fellow professors a decade ago, “Save the world on your own time.”

The Camrose branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will be conducting its annual wreath and poppy campaign from now until Remembrance Day. Money collected during this campaign, after expenses, are donated back into the community to assist veterans, or their dependents, with financial or medical situations that may arise. The local Legion branch also presents annual bursaries to students who are related to veterans that need assistance to further their education. Legion members and volunteers will be out in the community selling wreaths and poppies on Poppy Tag Day, Saturday, Nov. 9. Wear a poppy to show that you care about the sacrifices people made during war conflicts. The annual Remembrance Day Services and the laying of wreaths will be held at the Camrose Regional Exhibition starting shortly before 11 a.m. in Nov. 11. Members of the general public are encouraged to attend and be seated by 10:30 a.m., so that veterans can enter and the service can be commenced on time. Two minutes of silence will be observed at 11 a.m. Veterans will include those who fought or participated in the First World War, Second World War, Korea, Bosnia, Afghanistan and United Nations peace keeping missions throughout the world.

BRSD working group to meet for third time Oct. 28 By Dan Jensen
Battle River School Division will be seeking solutions on how it can better meet the space needs of Camrose students when it meets with a working group of 15 school administrators and 15 parents Oct. 28. "We will be asking for recommendations on current boundaries or school configurations that we can present to the board of trustees in early January," explained BRSD assistant superintendent, business, Imogene Walsh last week. The working group has already had two meetings in which it has had the chance to learn more about the programs and services currently offered at each of the local elementary, junior and senior high schools and review what kind of spaces may be needed down the
road based on projected student populations. "We have been presenting information and providing answers to questions," said Walsh. "Members of the working group certainly understand the needs (to be met) and why we are going through this process." Battle River School Division has been significantly affected in recent years by changing city neighbourhoods and student demographics. A chart presented to the working group at its first meeting showed that Sifton School and Jack Stuart School have utilization rates of 92 per cent and 82 per cent respectively, compared to 56 per cent for Charlie Killam and Chester Ronning Schools, 52 per cent for Sparling School and 34 per cent for Camrose Composite High School.
"Some of the numbers are deceiving, because if you look at CCHS for example, part of their space is used to provide CTS programming for students from Charlie Killam, PACE, Bawlf, Hay Lakes and Cornerstone," said Walsh. "That school, though, is not as much a concern to us as Sifton and Jack Stuart, which are going to be very full in the not too distant future. We have to deal with the pressure points in the elementary schools right now and hope that we can utilize space that is not being used in some of the other schools." BRSD communications officer Diane Hutchinson said one of the issues that must be addressed is the growth in the number of elementary students and children who have not yet started school and the decline in the number of junior and
senior high school students. According to the latest City of Camrose census, the percentage of students aged 15 to 18 was 4.75 per cent (of the total Camrose population) in 2011, compared to 5.94 per cent in 1998. The percentage of children below the age of five has gone from 5.28 per cent of the population in 1998 to 5.76 per cent in 2011. "We have a bit of inequity now between the number of elementary students and the number of older kids and we need to adjust our space usage to balance out our school populations," said Hutchinson. Yet another factor that needs to be considered is the fact that the City of Camrose is planning to develop new neighbourhoods in the south and southwest quadrants of the city, leaving the east side for industrial development.
"We have to be aware that the growth is happening all on one side of the city and factor in the problems that is going to create in the future," said Walsh. "We couldn't possibly squeeze one more class into Jack Stuart School, which is why we need to be looking at long term solutions." While it is the right of the parents to send their children to the school of their choice, every school has a designated attendance area, which is the area it is intended to serve. No new out-ofboundary students have been accepted this year at Jack Stuart, Sifton and Chester Ronning Schools, except for the siblings of students who were already in attendance. The working group has agreed that the question of continuing to allow Continued on page 10

PACE Fitness puts students to the test By Murray Green
The PACE Outreach School is a great place for students to learn at a level they can handle. However, increasing the learning curve is the goal. The fitness program at PACE allows students to receive physical education with a final goal in sight. Teacher Neal Isnor believes if the students are in shape they will be better prepared for learning in the classroom as well. The correlation between being successful and eating healthy can be found throughout the community. "You read stories about big corporations where CEO's have treadmills in their office. They are maybe only going one mile an hour, but they are active and it stimulates the brain and they become sharper," said Neal. "The students were even talking about how much more alert they were for their morning classes." At first the students were reluctant to change. "Last year we started with three students and went up to 20 at one point. About 10 went to the Spartan Fitness Challenge at Rabbit Hill at the end of June," said student advisor Jodie Lewis, who volunteered to help with the program. "This year on our first day we had 20 students out." The added participation means a healthier student body. "Fitness is good for everybody. We want to encourage fitness and nutrition," said Jodie, on why she got involved in the program. "We need to be healthy and stay active. I think it is important for everybody, especially youth." The Camrose Kinsmen Club assisted the program in starting out by donating
$1,500 for healthy snacks and shoes. "We try to teach nutrition, so the students get into a habit of eating healthy. If we can show them by the students experiencing it then it will stay with them. We talk a lot about energy systems and how the energy has to be restored within a half an hour," said Neal. "A lot of the students that come here don't start out with good eating habits. If we can lead them to eating healthier, it really improves the learning and we see it in the results. We want to make it fun, while they are getting fit." Sometimes, convincing girls that they need to be shape for a Spartan event can be a challenge. "Student advisors Jodie and Shannon Olson really help out because some of these students really need encouragement starting out. We want to show the students that we are there for them and help them achieve their goals and finish tasks. Not all students are at the same fitness level, nor do they have to be. We want them to accomplish what they set out as their goal. We need volunteers to help with that," added Neal. "It doesn't matter where they finish. The goal is to complete the task." The encouragement paid off for the program. "Last year we had a student who had trouble finishing. In the end, she had a good time and entered the Spartan race," said Neal. "She felt so good about achieving her goal, that she recruited students in the program. Now she is the one going back to help others finish. It's great to see the change in students and the success of the program." "We want people to know it is a great program and
that it's available at PACE said Shannon. "You can see the change in the students as they accomplish their goals." The program involves the community. "As it grows we could use more volunteers to help with the program. Community members are welcome to help us train and assist the students to meet the challenge," added Jodie. "Registration is still open, so if anyone is interested in joining us they can." Neal has started the program in places he has taught such as Rocky Mountain House, Stettler, Bashaw and at PACE. "One of the things we have always encouraged is having community members train with us because we run events as well," said Neal. "We are going to host a sports performers challenge. It is for everybody. I invite alumni and that includes a female Olympic boxer. Everyone competes at their own level. The students choose the level they train at every day. Some days they challenge themselves." The program for this year just started last week. "We start out with base training now for about eight weeks and walk or run outside when we can. After that we go to a power and strength phase, and then a speed and agility phase," explained Neal. "At the same time we are maintaining the base we started with." Life is a challenge for some of the students. "When we get to the Spartan race it is a real challenge, but a fun challenge," said Neal. "The students were nervous with 4,000 people there. We teach them different ways to handle stress. This is more than just about fitness – it is about life."
The Spartan Fitness Challenge was a tough test for most athletes, but the fun times was worth it for PACE Outreach students from Camrose. The athletes are training hard for another trip to the event.
BRSD enrolment numbers indicate areas of growth Diane Hutchinson, Communications, BRSD
The new year is off to a strong start in Battle River School Division. The September 30 student count indicates that there are areas within the division experiencing population growth, which is good news for local schools and communities. As overall populations decline in rural Alberta, rural school divisions have also seen a decrease in their student population over the last 15 years and Battle River has been no exception. Last spring, BRSD was projecting a drop of about 80 students for this fall. Happily, strong numbers at the elementary school level have meant that this year’s overall enroll-
ment has stayed virtually unchanged. “That’s great news for us,” says Superintendent of Schools Dr. Larry Payne. “This leveling off of our school enrollment numbers means we’re getting close to the end of that era of decline and moving into a new era of stabilization." Collective agreements ratified by Board It was a true pleasure for members of the BRSD Board of Trustees to end their final board meeting of this term by ratifying two collective agreements. The first was approval of an agreement with ATA members, which will be in effect from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2016. The second was an agreement with the Battle River Bus Driv-
ers, which has a two year term. “Having these agreements ratified is very meaningful,” said chair Doug Bowie. “We worked hard to achieve these agreements, especially with the ATA, and it’s great to have it wrapped up during the tenure of the current Board of Trustees.” The Battle River Bus Drivers have already ratified their agreement. ATA members are expected to vote before the end of October on whether or not to accept. Minister of Education talking to parents The Honourable Jeff Johnson, Minister of Education, will be hosting a teleconference with parents across Alberta on Tuesday, October 22, from 8:00
to 9:00 p.m. The focus of the conversation will be to hear guest speaker Dr. Glenn Feltham, president and CEO of NAIT and also chair of the provincial Task Force on Teacher Excellence speak about the changing role of teachers and ask parents to share their priorities for the future of education. Registration information for the conference call will be available through schools. It is the Minister’s hope that groups of parents will gather together to listen to the call, as there are limited lines available. Reaching the end of their term of service Battle River School Division would like to acknowledge and sincerely thank all members of the Board of Trustees for their
three years of service during the 2010-2013 term. Four members of the board have made the decision to retire, so will not be back at the table following the October 21 election. Those retiring members are: Doug Bowie (City of Camrose); Shelley Grundberg (Camrose County North); Jim Fielding (Beaver County East); and Noreen Metz (Flagstaff County East). Current trustee Kendall Severson (Camrose County South) has been returned to his position by acclamation. Board members Rebecca Heiberg (Beaver County West); Peter Miller (Flagstaff County West) and Cheryl Smith (City of Camrose) were all vying for re-election.

Sincere Thanks To All Candidates In Yesterday’s Local Elections. It has been said that the foundation of democracy rests on the willingness of qualified individuals to serve. This being true, voters in our elections for School Boards, County and City Councils, and Mayor of Camrose were presented with a wide and gratifying choice. Democracy is alive and well here! We, at The Camrose Booster, were proud to take our place in the process by providing unbiased profiles of all candidates for positions in the City
of Camrose and Camrose County, Battle River School Division and Elk Island School Division. Through our reporting it is always our goal to present the facts accurately and fairly. We are very pleased to note that during their campaigns all candidates chose to share their views with the electorate in the pages of the Booster. Congratulations to ALL candidates for offering to serve your community from all of us at . . .
out-of-area students and their younger siblings to attend these schools (also known as grandfathering students) and the impact of that will have to be part of its continuing discussions. Battle River School Division sent a survey to Camrose parents this past spring in which it asked them to provide their thoughts on what they see as the most important things about their school and the biggest challenges their school faces. The intent of the survey was to provide an anonymous opportunity for parents to provide input that could assist in developing plans for the future. Later this fall, when the working group has developed ideas and options for how to proceed, a follow-up survey will also take place, to share those options with all Camrose parents.

Shoebox campaign underway Submitted
They’re here! This year’s shipment of red and green shoeboxes has arrived! It’s time to get packing! Operation Christmas Child, an interdenominational program of Samaritan’s Purse International Relief, gives us the opportunity to fill a colorful shoebox with gifts to be delivered to children in destitute regions around the world. In 2012, we surpassed the 100 millionth shoebox! Will you help us continue this gift-giving tradition to kids in under-developed countries? Pick up shoeboxes and brochures at Century Meadows Baptist Church, or Wisemen’s Way Bookstore downtown. Use plastic shoeboxes, if you like. Have a packing party with friends. Filling a shoebox is easy: -decide whether it’s for a boy or girl, and choose an age category; -fill your box with a variety of small gifts, school supplies and hygenic items; -label your box, and secure it with an elastic band (no tape, please); -enclose a $7 cheque per box for shipping and handling, if possible. No time to shop? Use your mouse. Go to www. samaritanspurse.ca/shoebox and follow the prompts. Click, click, done. “Operation Christmas Child enables us to transform simple, commonplace items into delightful extravagance for needy kids far away,” says Ruth Klassen, this year’s distribution center coordinator. “This year, Canadian shoeboxes will travel to countries in Central and South America."

Funding situation looking brighter for Centra Cam By Dan Jensen
The provincial government is taking a new approach to the way it assists those with developmental disabilities. Centra Cam Vocational Training Association executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg told those attending the association's annual meeting Sept. 18 that the government has altered the Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) funding system in response to public outrage towards the cuts that were proposed last spring. "We are now to build a service plan for an individual and not worry about
the money," said Skjonsberg. "The message is people will get the services they need and the budget will be based on what it takes to have people reach the outcome they want in their lives." Skjonsberg noted that while there are still funding concerns, Centra Cam is moving forward on addressing what it can as it moves forward. "One of the concerns is the contract. They, whoever they are, are still making changes on the new format, which we are to sign for funding effective Oct. 1. At this point in time we don't know what our funding level will be." Another Centra Cam
concern relates to the change of process. "As most of you know, with changes in process come changes in forms needed, policies and procedures," said Skjonsberg. "Since all these changes are not yet finalized and some are just now starting to be looked at, we will remain in an air of constant change for a long time yet, which will definitely impact and add to the frustration of families and our staff." Skjonsberg said the forced change in direction does have a good side. "With the direction of supporting services from the ground up, all individuals will receive services they need to reach their goals. We
little or no impact to the individuals we serve. And the best news of all is that the services we offer to clients will continue, with a greater emphasis on employment." Skjonsberg expressed appreciation to the people and the families Centra Cam serves. "You all pulled together and demonstrated amazing strength in the fight against the cuts and you were the strongest voice throughout the province. You were the ones the government really listened to. Although the Persons with Developmental Disabilities slogan is making a difference it wasn't them, it was you, who cared enough to make a difference."
Parkland makes request
Bev Davis volunteer of the year
By Dan Jensen
By Dan Jensen
Centra Cam Vocational Training Association has named Bev Davis its 2013 Volunteer of the Year. "Bev is a strong advocate for individuals with disabilities," said executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg before presenting the award to Bev's daughter, Cara, at Centra Cam's annual meeting Sept. 18. "She is willing to help other families try to navigate the system so they can receive services." Davis was very active in fighting against the proposed cuts to funding for Persons with Developmental Disabilities. "I know she was at least at one of the rallies and she attended as many meetings as she could," said Skjonsberg. "She made sure to have her voice heard."
used to be bound by hours of service, which very often was the main factor of goals not being reached. We now have a consistent assessment model and although it has some flaws, it is being addressed. When issues are addressed it should put everyone on an even field. The government is working towards consistent funding for individuals and agencies." Skjonsberg said Centra Cam will have to make changes over the next year or more to some of its processes, policies, procedures and probably its staffing structure. "There will be lots of changes but it is our goal to make those changes with
Centra Cam executive director Roxanna Skjonsberg presents a 2013 Volunteer of the Year award to Cara, daughter of Bev Davis.
Davis has assisted with the sale of 50/50 tickets for various fundraising events. "At the Kenny Chesney concert she helped us carry the huge draw barrel half way around the arena and up onto the stage," said Skjonsberg. "Any of you who know Bev know she isn't very
big, but there she was to carry it." Davis conducted the elections at the Centra Cam annual meeting in 2010, 2011 and 2012. "We really appreciate all that Bev does to support people with disabilities and our association," said Skjonsberg.
The City of Camrose will be paying more for Parkland Regional Library services in 2014. Camrose City council approved a Parkland Regional Library budget request of $129,645 at its Oct. 7 meeting, an increase from the $125,842 that was approved for 2013. "The 2014 budget includes an increase of 22 cents per capital from $7.28 to $7.50," said City financial services general manager Diane Urkow. Parkland is proposing total income of $3,027,000 for 2014, including $916,366 from the provincial grant, $1,525,028 from membership fees ($7.50 per capita), $115,328 from school contracts, $425,280 from the rural library services grant, and $45,000 from interest income. The rural library services grant is a grant received by Parkland Regional Library for municipalities and districts that do not have library boards but are members of the system. Per the membership agreement, the grant is passed back to the libraries as determined by the municipalities. Councillor Max Lindstrand expressed concern about the provincial government freezing grants to Parkland Regional Library year after year. "I sat on the CDSS budget deliberations today and the grant from the province to support the operation of CDSS are frozen again," said Lindstrand. "I sit on the lodge authority and once again the lodge authority grants continue the same year after year. Now I look at the budget projection for the Parkland Regional Library and I see the same thing – no change to the grants over a three year period. My question is to what extent do we lobby the province for some increases to these library grants. Obviously the effort by the municipalities in all these instances has to continue to be more significant because of the fact we are not getting increases in the provincial funding."

Vikings host tune-up race By Murray Green
The Augustana Vikings attracted more than 160 athletes to the annual grand prix cross-county running series at the Stoney Creek Centre on Oct. 12. "The race was a success, with perfect weather. We had 79 men and 87 women running. It was great to see so many runners out," said Augustana assistant running coach Robert Renman. "The University of Alberta came with their teams, which made the race even more competitive. Our teams performed well."
Augustana was led by Ryan Burlingame on the men's side as he placed 25th overall and seventh in Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference standings. Hand Asfeldt also cracked the top 10 with a ninth place finish. There was a gap in the next group of Vikings as Tyler Bissett, Jared Billey and Sasha Ecceleston crossed the line together in 31st to 33rd spots. Augustana was fourth in both the three- and fourmember team standings. On the women's side, Keely MacCulloch was 35th
overall and 18th in the ACAC to lead the Vikings. Taya Hoar came in 23rd, Blaze Powell was 29th, Brianna Schultz crossed the line 33rd, Christine Degner finished 37th and Hannah Vesely was 40th in the college division. Augustana was sixth in both the three- and four-member team standings. The Alberta championships are back at the hilly Concordia course on Oct. 26 and the nationals are in Etobicoke, Ontario, on Nov. 9.

Camrose Kodiaks looking for a few more bounces By Murray Green
The Camrose Kodiaks are on the right track to contend for the south division title in the Alberta Junior Hockey League. All they need is a few bounces to go their way. The Calgary Mustangs scored four straight goals early in the second period and cruised to a 5-3 victory on Oct. 13. Calgary took advantage of the one-sided refereeing, which resulted in Camrose taking 11 out of 12 penalties in one stretch. Three power play tallies by the Mustangs took some of the growl away from the Kodiaks. "It's been a tough few games because we have been playing well; we are just not getting the results we want," said Nelson Gadoury. "We are outshooting the other teams. The other teams are capitalizing on our mistakes, more than we are." Connor Mailey, Nelson Gadoury and Nick Harder added single markers for Camrose. Goalie Devin McDonald stopped 20 of 23 shots and Matt Zentner turned away three of five shots. The Kodiaks out shot Calgary 31-28. "We need to cut down on the mistakes that we are making and hopefully we can turn this around. We need to step up on the power play. Instead of using the systems, sometimes we do our own thing and start thinking we have to do everything ourselves,"

explained Nelson. "It's a team game and coach preaches that a lot. We need to use our teammates, listen to the coaches and practice bearing down, even in practice." The forward has been playing better and has received extra ice time because of it. "It doesn't feel too good because we have been losing. Hopefully, we can receive some more "w's" and I'll feel better about my game," added Nelson. "We
are also working on getting a good start to games. In the past, we have started sluggish and we need to focus on the game right away." In Okotoks, the home team scored in the first and second periods and hung on as the Kodiaks out played the Oilers and out shot them 22-14 in the last two frames. Former Kodiaks forward Ty Clay again hurt the local club by scoring the second marker for the Oilers. Luc Lemire garnered the only tally for the Kodiaks.
Zentner made 23 of 25 saves in the Camrose net. "We are playing good defensively, but we do have to cut down on the break downs as well," said Nelson. Camrose scored 37 seconds after the Grande Prairie Storm in the first and then added another tally a minute later. The 2-1 lead lasted until the middle of the third when Ryan Baskerville notched his second of the night. After no scoring in the overtime frame, Baskerville collected the game winner
in a shootout for the extra point. The Kodiaks again out shot their opponent, this time 35-27 and 4-0 in overtime. Nick Kulmanovsky played well in the Grande Prairie net, but Zentner kept pace with 25 saves out of 27 shots. "We need everyone to come out to the games and get behind us. We are going to win at home," promised Nelson. The next home game for the Kodiaks is on Oct. 24 when the Drumheller Dragons visit at 7 p.m. On Friday Oct. 25, it will be the Kroeger/ Joyce Charity game against the Olds Grizzlys. Special Jerseys will be worn and auctioned off during the game. "At the end of the game, the players will autograph the jerseys and present them to the highest bidder," said Boris Rybalka, coach and general manager. "There will be many other auction items during the game and the money raised goes towards charity." The game is also Read and Win night. Children who have been participating in the reading program in Camrose and area schools will be allowed into this game for free. All of the students will receive a new book and prizes will be awarded to each grade participating. The Kodiaks' Halloween Howl is on Tuesday, Oct. 29 against the Brooks Bandits.

Augustana Vikings secure two overtime points By Murray Green
The Augustana Vikings hockey team knows it can compete with the best. Two games and two overtime periods showed the local squad is evenly matched with the first place SAIT Trojans in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. Augustana battled the Trojans to a 2-2 stalemate on Friday, Oct. 11, and the same two clubs called it even at 3-3 in Calgary the next night. A five minute overtime period in both matches didn't solve the deadlock. "We want to win every game, but early in the year against SAIT we will take it," said forward Craig Cornelsen. "We showed some signs of growth as a team. We are building towards finding our identity as a team as well. We had a lot of positives, even though it would have been nice to get the wins." In Camrose, SAIT took a 1-0 lead into the dressing room after 20 minutes. The second frame belonged to the Vikings as Jeremy Beirnes garnered his third of the season and Scott Aucion added his second of

the campaign. The Trojans came back in the third to force overtime. Former SAIT goalie Andy Williams stopped 33 of 35 shots from some exteammates in the Augustana net. The Vikings fired
41 shots at former Kodiaks goalie Brayden Hopfe in the SAIT cage. Playing tough teams is a good measuring stick. "Playing NAIT or SAIT is a good learning curve because they are always
up at the top of the standing along with Augustana. We take it as a challenge because these are the guys that we have to beat come playoff time," explained Craig. "Every time we play them it is a big game for sure. Overtime is a good challenge and it adds some pressure. It is good to see different guys rise to the occasion. The high risk-high reward hockey can be fun." The Vikings started fast with two tallies in the first. SAIT bounced back to tie the contest, but Bradley put the Vikings back in front. However, the pesky Trojans netted the equalizer with three and half minutes left on the clock. Dean Prpick, Konrad Litke and Kenny Bradley supplied the single markers in the rematch for the Vikings. Captain Prpick also earned an assist to give him two points for Augustana. This time Augustana goalie Joel Danyluk shone by turning away 43 of 46 shots he faced. Hopfe stopped 29 of 32 shots for SAIT. Both teams went one for nine on
the power play on the weekend. "We are taking the positives from the SAIT games into the next series. One thing we need to focus on is when we get the lead, we have to keep it and not let the other team tie it up to force an overtime," suggested Craig. "I think we need some more killer instinct and not to get too comfortable with a lead. We want to be able to close out the wins." The Vikings haven't been as dominating on the power play as they have been the last two seasons. "We have some different players with different roles and we haven't had the same number of opportunities either," said Craig. "Early in the season you concentrate on the five-onfive play and special teams are worked on later. It is something we are continually working on to improve. No one is panicking yet." Augustana's next home game is on Oct. 26 when the Grant MacEwan Griffins are here for a 7:30 p.m. start in the EnCana Arena.

Camrose Chamber receives Ammy award By Dan Jensen
The Camrose Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Centre at the Bill Fowler Centre received an Alberta Visitor Information Providers Ammy Award in Grande Prairie Sept. 16 for best-in-class revenue generation, marketing and communication. Camrose Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson commended Visitor Information Centre staff for the role they played in helping the Chamber be recognized. "I have fantastic staff," said Anderson. "When they go to training it shows they are actually listening and are proud of where they work and what they do." The Chamber Visitor Information Centre operates the Mirror Lake Express Train Tuesday and Thursday evenings during the summer, as well as Jaywalkers Jamboree and the Canada Day celebration. "As well as the scheduled train nights, the Mirror Lake Express was scheduled for 40 events in and out of Camrose," said the Chamber's Ammy Award submission. "The train attends these events for a base fee of 2012. In 2012, the Mirror Lake Express gave over 6,000 passengers rides. Due to the loss of the STEP provincial funding program, tickets went from being sold for $2 to $2.50 in order to fund our summer staff's wages. The revenue collected on train nights goes directly to summer student wages due to our many community sponsors and volunteers that help facilitate train nights. Although an immense source of revenue for the Camrose Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Information, it has also created ways for us as a staff to give back to the community. Last year we organized a Western Train Night for the first time ever. Volunteers from our two museums performed an old west inspired hold up and kid-

napping. Our conductor, the mayor, was ransomed. This year, the Camrose Kodiaks sponsored $200 for the event. About Time Productions, a non-profit youth theatre group performed the kidnapping, raising $468 plus the Kodiaks sponsorship." The Chamber of Commerce allows visitors to experience the community of Camrose in a genuine way by selling locally made and acquired postcards, books, jewellery, soaps and t-shirts. "Due to the close relationship we have with many of our vendors we are able to give visitors personalized shopping experiences," said the submission. "One of the items we sell, a book titled Baba's Kitchen Medicines, was authored by Michael Mucz, a recently retired professor from the University of Alberta Augustana Faculty. We had a visitor come to the centre who missed the opportunity to meet Mucz at a workshop and book signing held by the alumni office at Augustana. As the author is a Camrose local, we were able to phone him and he came directly to the centre to sign the book for the very thrilled visitor. Stories such as this are common place within our centre." The Chamber and Visitor Information Centre have
been successful in marketing itself over the last number of years by participating in the Camrose Art Walk. "The Art Walk organizers publish a booklet detailing all the stops of the Art Walk," said the submission. "It displays our address, phone numbers and hours of operation. The publication leads many new visitors to the centre. As one of the stops many visitors come into the centre with no prior knowledge of the Chamber of Commerce or Visitor Information Centre and leave after purchasing a souvenir or two." The Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Centre has undergone several updates and changes in the past ten years. "We started out as a poorly stocked resource for visitors and now find ourselves as a centre stocking thousands of brochures and travel information from across Canada and parts of the United States," said the submission. "These improvements did not happen overnight and the same can be said for the changes and improvements we are now implementing in areas of marketing, communications and revenue." Anderson said it is the goal of the Chamber to work
with the City of Camrose, which owns the Bill Fowler Centre, to try to provide more up to date technology to those who come to the Visitor Information Centre. Tourism Camrose executive director Hazel Cail, said she has heard many positive comments about the Visitor Information Centre and the services it provides. "(Visitors) are very complimentary in how nice this Visitor Information Centre, how well it is equipped and how helpful all the staff are. They just are very happy that they have come in because it is almost an experience in an experience to come into the Visitor Information Centre and be greeted by these gals and treated so well here." Chamber of Commerce first vice president Tanya Fox commended Anderson and travel counsellor/ administrative assistant Sheila Dejesus for their dedication not only to the Chamber and the Visitor Information Centre but to their job. "They always go above and beyond, more than whatever is asked of them,, and without the two of them we could never have gotten this award," said Fox. "It is really to their dedication, even though they won't toot their own horn. We are very lucky to have both of them here." The Alberta Visitor Information Providers program is offered by the Visitor Services branch of Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation. The program is designed to provide training and information support to community and regional visitor information centres in Alberta that are interested in promoting all areas of the province. The long-term goal of the program is the development of a provincial network of visitor information centres recognizable to the visitor for their high level of professional services offered.
Camerata getting ready to celebrate By Dan Jensen
It's shaping up to be a busy year for Camrose Camerata! The Camrose chamber choir will be holding a couple of special concerts between now and next spring to celebrate the fact it is ten years old. The first will be at Messiah Lutheran Church January 11. "We will be presenting a sampling of our most beloved choir works over the years," said Camerata conductor JoyAnne Murphy. "It is going to be a sampling because there are too many favourites to fit into one concert." The second concert will be at Messiah Lutheran Church April 13.
"It's going to be a concert with two halves," said Murphy. "The first half will see us perform Mass in G by the romantic composer Franz Schubert while being accompanied a choir from Edmonton called Vocal Alchemy and an orchestra. In the second we will perform works by composers who have a link to Camrose, including Augustana professor Milton Schlosser and Augustana professor emeritus James Neff." Camerata is currently trying to raise funds to pay for the cost of the orchestra. "It could be a fairly big orchestra or it could be smaller, it just depends on how much money we are able to raise over the next little while," said Murphy.
Camrose Camerata is a chamber choir whose members are (usually) over the age of 19. "We are an auditioned group but you don't have to have a lot of musical experience to join," explained Murphy. "The reason we do auditions is to make sure we get a balance of voices and a mix of people who are able to learn and work together. We try to do challenging but fun choral music and we use an accompanist when we can." Camrose Camerata currently has nineteen members, not including Murphy and the accompanist. Murphy believes that there are a great number of benefits that come from singing in a chamber choir.
"In the last maybe ten years there has been all kinds of information put out about what it does for your health," she said. "Along with the improved lung capacity, there are the physiological changes: your blood pressure can be lowered and regulated a little better and your posture can be improved." Choir singing can also bring about a sense of emotional well-being. "Singing in a choir is an exercise in synchronizing what you are doing with everyone around you," said Murphy. "Just the fact of synchronizing with your colleagues is really helpful in terms of happiness and the ability to cope with stress."
Dejesus recognized By Dan Jensen
Camrose Chamber of Commerce Visitor Information Centre travel counsellor/ administrative assistant Sheila Dejesus received an Alberta Visitor Information Providers Ammy Award in Grande Prairie Sept. 16 for best-inclass travel counselling. DeJesus was commended for her dedication and passion in delivering excellent customer service, including learning greetings in several languages. DeJesus said the award came as a surprise. "I didn't know. I knew there were awards and we were up for all these awards and I knew that last year, when we went to Medicine Hat, we brought home three. I thought, okay, we have to bring home more. I went and splurged on a new dress because you never know." Chamber of Commerce executive director Sharon Anderson said it was fun to see how excited Dejesus was when she accepted the award. "She went 'I don't know what I did, I don't know how I got this.' She was pretty excited." Dejesus has been working for the Camrose Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Information Centre for a year and a half. "Since joining our staff she has become a spirit of excellence," said the Camrose Chamber award submission. "Our Visitor Information Centre operates all year round with summer student staff support and extended hours in the summer months. As our administrative assistant, Sheila works at the front desk and is the first person to greet and offer visitors travel counselling all year round. Sheila has an innate ability to befriend visitors and become readily invested in their vacation. This friendliness extends to everyone she encounters. Local business owners, politicians and citizens know Sheila by name. She creates opportunities for visitors to connect with locals, creating memory making moments for them." Anderson said Dejesus is an excellent example for the summer students and someone who leads by design. "She shows them what needs to be done and how to do it properly, and gets up and greets customers and learns their names. That is what it takes to be a leader."

! d e v o M W e’ve After a series of expansions and renovations at our former location (Duggan Mall), The Spa Spot is now open in a larger, more accessible location on the north side of 48 Avenue (Highway 13). Drip in and see us – we’re immediately east of Phil’s Car Wash.
The Spa Spot owners, Camrosians Kyle and Candace Vendel barely have time to go for lunch. True rest is not an option. To call the last four years a “whirlwind” is an understatement. In this time period they have opened a store in Duggan Mall. Not many months later they doubled the amount of square footage. While operating this location they travelled the province, and beyond, setting up countless weekend or weeklong hot tub sales at temporary locations often at busy special events the likes of Big Valley Jamboree, right here in Camrose. In 2011 the couple set up a permanent store in the thriving City of Lloydminster. Just last year they added a third permanent retail operation in Edmonton. In 2013, a permanent Red Deer location was established. Most recently they moved their Camrose store to an even bigger, more visible location along 48th Avenue in Camrose. (Somewhere in all of this beehive of activity they also got married –yes they’re busy people!) The Spa Spot, still headquartered in Camrose, boasts a perfect rating with the Better Business Bureau. The business has quickly become western Canada’s largest volume retailer of hot tubs! Why? That answer is easy, according to Kyle: “It’s a result of flawless customer service.” Adds Candace: “Our goal is a happy customer for life. We look after little problems that competitors would overlook.” Clearly The Spa Spot game plan is working. In addition to their impressive sales numbers, the locally owned company now owns the distinctive title of being North America’s highest volume Maax Spa dealer. Since opening their first location, The Spa Spot has expanded into areas beyond hot tubs. Staff now sell and service quality pool tables and saunas. Each staff member is well educated on all chemicals and solutions pertaining to optimum water conditions in hot tubs. The company has one additional unique and much desired policy. Kyle explains: “We do not charge mileage for warranty calls. If we’ve sold a tub and there’s a problem, it doesn’t matter how far the distance. We’ve never declined a warranty call. We treat this visit as an opportunity to strengthen our bond with our customer.” The Spa Spot philosophy is simple and it goes a long way to explain the four stores’ fast track to success – the best tubs, the best service, the best prices.

Shawn “The Harpoonist” Hall and Matthew “The Axe Murderer” Rogers perform raw blues, while electrifying it with new life at the Bailey Theatre on Oct. 26.
Harpoonist and Axe Murderer By Murray Green
Relax, you don't have to lock up the children because a harpoonist and axe murderer are "on the loose." The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer are a blues music duo that is winding up a Western Canadian tour with a stop at the Bailey Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 26. The Vancouver based blues duo has seven performance dates throughout the prairies, concluding with a Rose City Roots Music Society series show in Camrose. Armed with a sack of harmonicas, a barrage of foot percussion and a road-worn telecaster, Shawn “The Harpoonist” Hall and Matthew “The Axe Murderer” Rogers perform raw blues, while electrifying the genre with a lightning bolt of new life. Their sound pays tribute to influences ranging from Robert Johnson to Jack White, but reflects some soul. Shawn and Matthew started out limiting their sound to whatever they could play between them using only their mouths, hands and feet. Eventually the sound became larger than the band itself. Shawn provides the vocals and blues harmonica, while Matthew plays the guitar and foot percussion simultaneously. The two met and bonded over music while in a recording session for a radio jingle and named their new project after the blues harp reference lyric. “I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana” is from Kris Kristofferson’s "Bobby Mcgee," while the term “axe” is a common reference to a guitar. The Harpoonist and The Axe Murderer released their inaugural album, The Blues Can Kill, in 2007 and have enjoyed a steady climb up to the widely acclaimed 2011 release, Checkered Past. The band has garnered major attention after their Blues Artist of the Year award at the SiriusXM Indies in 2012 and from its performances at showcases such as Breakout West, The Toronto Blues Summit, Folk Alliance, South by Southwest, and Big Sound in Brisbane, Australia. Along their musical journey, Shawn and Matthew have been honoured to share the stage with some of the world’s finest blues acts, including Taj Mahal, Colin Linden and Carlos del Junco, and have performed at some of Canada's biggest music festivals, such as the Calgary Folk Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival, Live At Squamish, Montreal Jazz Festival and the Ottawa Blues Festival. Despite having had a summer schedule that would exhaust most people, the band shows no sign of winding down. Continued on page 19

All aboard!
Battle River Railway Modellers had a huge display at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park last month. The show was a good test run for the track and equipment for the club to prepare for a display in the Duggan Mall from now until the end of the year. You can view the trains and talk to local engineers on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. Once winter hits, the local club is planning to stay open until 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Members will be working on the display on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. Starting clockwise top left, Carl Schulze and Dave Halliday show off a new Dukes of Hazzard jump over the train. All you have to do is push a button to hear the famous car horn. Brett McDonald added a finishing touch with mountain goats. Every train has to include a grain elevator. Barry Toms, left, and Ron Symes check out the accident scene when a truck carrying a tanker didn't make it under the bridge. The club members spent a lot of time designing and building a wooden bridge through the mountain area. Former Camrose resident Dr. Fred Gojmerac shares a train station story with Carl.

Bra Necessities and Vikings team up to fight breast cancer By Dan Jensen
Bra Necessities is teaming up with the Augustana Students' Association to fight breast cancer. "We will be donating $1 for every new or gently used bra that people donate during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to the Canadian Breast Cancer Association," explained Bra Necessities owner Kim Turre. "The bras that are collected here at the store and by the Augustana Vikings sports teams at their games from now until the start of November will be sent to The Bra Recyclers, a company that sends bras all around the world to women and girls in need." The Vikings are getting behind the campaign with a number of fun events. A bra toss, similar to the Teddy Bear toss which has been seen at Camrose Kodiaks games, will be held at the hockey team's home game on Oct. 26 against Grant MacEwan. "We are encouraging fans to bring their gently used bras to the game to participate in the toss," said Turre. "Those who forget can purchase a bra for a donation before game time." Not to be outdone, the Vikings' men's and women's basketball teams are working on a unique way to accept pledges at their home openers Nov. 2. "We're looking at giving fans and businesses the option of donating a certain amount of money for every

three pointer that is scored," said men's basketball team member Josh Nicol, who chose to get involved in the campaign because he knew someone with breast cancer. "We're obviously hoping to see some high scoring contests with lots of three pointers." The men's and women's basketball teams will be getting into the act during home matches against Olds on Oct. 25.
In what should be an impressive sight, all the bras that are collected by Bra Necessities and the Vikings during the campaign will be strung together at the Bill Fowler Centre on Mirror Lake Oct. 28. "Our hope with the bra toss and the Bras Around the Lake events is to showcase the support and dedication of Camrosians to the fight against breast cancer and to show that together,
we can all make a difference," said Turre. The Augustana Students' Association will be launching the campaign with a tribute to those who have survived or died from breast cancer in the Augustana quad on Oct. 23. A campaign grand finale will be held in the Augustana gymnasium Nov. 2. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is Canada's leading community-driv-
en breast cancer charity dedicated to funding relevant and innovative research and supporting and advocating for the breast cancer community. Breast cancer is a complex disease that will affect one in nine Canadian women during their lifetime. In 2013, it is estimated that 23,800 Canadian women and 200 Canadian men will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Signing of historic treaty celebrated at Augustana By Dan Jensen
Students and faculty at the Augustana Campus of the U of A joined the social movement Idle No More Oct. 7 in celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 that granted indigenous peoples in British North America rights to the land they inhabited. "The British declared that the native people in the Canada and the United States had the rights to their own land," said Augustana professor Bill Hackborn. "It was partly for political reasons that they did this because they wanted to win over the natives who were closer to the French at that time. Since that time treaties between Canada's peoples and the government have been done. We are on treaty six land right now; all of western Canada has varies treaties." Hackborn feels the present government is, to some extent, trying to abolish the proclamation. "Residential schools and other things have systematically tried to eliminate native people, tried to melt them into the fabric of Canada," he said. Idle No More claims that
Breland Athies plays a drum in a celebration at Augustana marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of a Royal Proclamation that granted indigenous people in North America rights to the land they inhabited.
the treaties between First Nations and the British Crown are nation to nation agreements. "The treaties are agreements that cannot be altered or broken by one side of the two nations," states the Idle No More manifesto. "The spirit and intent of the treaty agreements meant that
First Nations peoples would share the land, but retain their inherent rights to lands and resources. Instead, First Nations have experienced a history of colonization which has resulted in outstanding land claims, lack of resources and unequal funding for services such as education and housing. Some of the poorest
First Nations communities have mines or other developments on their land but do not get a share of the profit. The taking of resources has left many lands and waters poisoned – the animals and plants are dying in many areas in Canada. We cannot live without the land and water. We have laws older than this colonial government about how to live with the land." Idle No More states on its website the government is trying to pass many laws so that reserve lands can also be bought and sold by big companies to get profits from resources. "They are promising to share this time. Why would these promises be different from past promises? We will be left with nothing but poisoned water, land and air. This is an attempt to take away sovereignty and the inherent right to land and resources from First Nations peoples. Each day that indigenous rights are not honoured or fulfilled, inequality between indigenous peoples and the settler society grows. Idle No More seeks to assert indigenous inherent rights to sovereignty and reinstitute traditional laws and nation to nation treaties by protecting the lands
and waters from corporate destruction." Idle No More is calling for Canada, the provinces and territories to repeal provisions of Bill C-45 (including changes to the Indian Act and Navigable Waters Act which infringe on environmental protections, aboriginal treaty rights) and abandon all pending legislation, which does the same, deepen democracy in Canada through practices such as proportional representation and consultation on all legislation concerning collective rights and environmental protections, respect the right of indigenous peoples to say no to development on their territory, cease the policy of extinguishment of aboriginal title and recognize and affirm aboriginal title and rights, and honour the spirit and intent of the historic treaties. Hackborn said in remembering the Royal Proclamation Canadians are celebrating the oneness of all people. "I am not doing this for native people, I am doing this for me and my children. I want them to have what I have and I want everyone to have that. Let's celebrate humanity."

Harper government delivers speech from from the throne Crowfoot Member of Parliament and Minister of State (Finance) Kevin Sorenson is pleased with the Speech from the Throne delivered last week to open the second session of the 41st Parliament. “The Throne Speech titled Seizing Canada’s Moment: Prosperity and Opportunity in an Uncertain World positions our Conservative Government to move forward on many fronts,” said Minister Sorenson. “Many nations are envious of Canada’s strong economic performance and we will continue to work to create jobs for hard-working Canadians, keep taxes low, and help make our streets and communities safer for families.” Minister Sorenson said Canada is in a good position. “Our natural wealth, sound finances, stable democracy, tremendous resources, expanding network of trade relationships around the world, combined with the ingenuity of Canadians provides an unprecedented opportunity for Canada to prosper. It is our job as a country to seize this opportunity for the benefit of all Canadians.” The Speech from the Throne outlines the Conservative Government’s plan to: bring more opportunities for exporters and lower prices for consumers; pass legislation to force the balancing of budgets; reform the Senate of Canada or see it vanish; continue reducing the size and cost of the federal government; take further action to end geographic price discrimination aga inst Ca nadia ns ; and take measures to empower consumers by forcing disclosure of the cost of debit and credit payment methods, and more. “I encourage all of my constituents to visit www.sft.gc.ca and read about the work that our Conservative government intends to accomplish for all of us," said Sorenson. "It is a comprehensive plan, and a great deal of work has gone into its preparation. There is something for everyone."

Tim Parker in "Second Thought" (Oct. 8) is "outraged" at what he calls "Muzzling Scientists." There is a definite tendency among many called "scientists" these days to be political, to express their ideological preferences. Especially in their area of expertise, where such activism is given greater weight because supposedly they know the facts better than almost anyone else. Especially with respect to the issues he mentions, areas of immense controversy like "climate change." This becomes a problem for the government when scientists are hired to gather information relevant to such issues. They are not hired to oppose government programs and cannot be allowed to do so. Their situation would be quite different if they were paid to be advocates, if they were the hired "scientist" guns of some environmental organization, for instance.
It is one thing for them to limit themselves to exchanges of scientific information, and quite another to make political and moral claims that go beyond the facts. This is the salient point Parker seems unable to notice, claiming our local MP and the Minister of Science and Technology have failed to give him "a cogent reasoned defense of the federal government’s suppression of the communication of scientific findings." And why Parker is wrong to say it is irrelevant for the Minister to give him lists of peer reviewed articles that pinpoint actual sharing of scientific information. It is not scientific findings that are the issue with regard to scientists speaking out, but conclusions about what to do supposedly based on them. When government employees are sounding off about the latter, taking political positions, they should be fired for their activism. It is fortunate for them and in their interest if the government bothers to point out it does not hire them to do such and will not tolerate it. When Parker asks: "Why not demonstrate that any government scientist can talk in public and to the media about their findings?," or refers to "discussing their findings," it should be noticed this is not merely communicating the actual science. It may be psychology teacher Parker even considers himself to be a scientist.
If so, can he recognize that when he says on this issue that he is "outraged," that such writing goes beyond science? Just like he is not doing science here, or not only doing science, so too in the case of employees who outrightly oppose what their government employer is doing. As to "... the perception that Canada’s scientists are being muzzled is doing major harm to the government, and more importantly, to our international reputation," it is just such misrepresentation as Tim Parker puts forth, beginning with big headlines about "Muzzling Scientists," that does that. The left wing bias of much media and many professors loves to paint the Conservative government as a villain and would never want to have understanding about how and why the government should not support activist scientists that oppose it. Douglas Hendrickson Bittern Lake Junk science
I just finished reading Mr. Parker’s Second Thought article, “Muzzling Scientists: Good for Canada?” I’m shocked that the Canadian government would try to “muzzle” scientists. I couldn’t believe my eyes, so I decided to check for myself. But I checked a different topic, a topic on which many people think the government is also concealing information. I googled “aliens capture Ottawa.” What is striking is not
only the sheer number of hits (30,000,000), but the number of news organizations that have reported on aliens in Ottawa. Now I’m getting worried. With that much smoke, there must be fire. I immediately called (Member of Parliament) Kevin Sorenson’s office for some clarification on this alien invasion. The person with whom I spoke denied everything! I’m appalled! All those reports couldn’t be false… could they? And, God knows, Google is as reliable as any news outlet… isn’t it? Just to make sure, I googled “bigfoot” (19,600,000 hits), “Atlantis” (80,000,000 hits), and “fairies in a jar” (2,530,000 hits). Hmmm… curiouser and curiouser. Either there is an awful lot of things the government isn’t telling us or Google isn’t as reliable as I thought. Of course, there are corresponding articles in the news media. I suppose Google is as reliable as any news outlet, but the news outlets don’t seem very reliable either. It seems anything that fits their agenda is newsworthy but things that don’t fit the agenda are not newsworthy. And given the recent spate of so-called “scientific” studies caught for poor methodology and falsified data, some scientists don’t look particularly reliable. It might be prudent for the Canadian government “muzzle” some of these socalled scientists. Continued on page 26

Mr. Parker iterated the usual litany of junk-science subjects; environmentalism, global warming, business practices, and ozone depletion as particular targets of our “repressive” government. Oddly enough, most of the “science” addressing these subjects is either subjective or demonstrably wrong, in other words, junkscience. Perhaps Mr. Parker should ask himself why only those things which bring comfort and prosperity to people’s lives, things produced by real science, draw the ire of the junk-scientists. Dave Gosse, Camrose
A better way? After a campaign in Ferintosh, for council, it is easy to understand that this thing called democracy represents nothing but hatred. Half the village wants dissolution, which in my view could only make some sense, especially when the County has the equipment. The other half wants to stay as its own entity, which most people can't afford. But, when, at a campaign meeting, no one is allowed to speak unless they have previously given the question to the town office to be examined whether it would conflict with the plans of those that want the village to stay a village. Speaking your mind is not allowed, that's called democracy, I guess. Well, the way I see it, absolutely none of these so-called politicians will end up with the right to control my mind, which is what they think when whoever wins an election. This thing democracy is the worst thing to ever hit the planet. If only the participants voted, they would think they would have the right to yours and my mind, I don't think so. There is a better way, does any one know what it is? Lloyd Albers, Camrose
New grading system Battle River School Division has instilled in students the saying “Every Student, Every Day, A Success.” This motto is intended to develop a sense of motivation. It is meant to motivate students to excel in their courses and, if they are not excelling, to feel that they are successful in trying. As Battle River introduces a new grading system showing grades only as Beginning, Developing, Achieving or Excelling, students question how they are to feel successful. With the ranges of the four categories being so broad, students will not know if they have improved or met their goals. I, like many other students strive for honors, eighty percent or higher, but when the Achieving category ends at eighty-three, how can we be asked to achieve greater than eighty-four percent when receiving honors? For some students, it is out of reach, leaving them overshadowed, depressed and feeling unsuccessful. I, along with most students, strive to improve my marks throughout the year, not only at times of report cards. Everyone can look at a percent and decide to aim for two, three, four percent higher on the next assignment. When a student works hard and sees an Achieving instead of an eighty two percent, that student may very well have a sixty seven percent and would not know the difference. How is it fair to students to be working their hardest and still be in the same grade level as a student who does minimal work? It goes the other way as well. Students who do dismal work and put in minimal effort achieve the same grade level as a student who studies for hours. These students could have a ten percent difference in their marks, and the student at the lower end would
think they are doing well because the students with brilliant work ethics are in the same level. Students who start the school year at the low end of the Achieving grade level could increase their mark by ten percent and not have the satisfaction in knowing they are succeeding in meeting their goals. Perhaps students could find happiness and motivation in this system if the gaps in the ranges were narrowed. Students and parents alike are told that the system is out-come based, meaning that each specific outcome is assessed and assigned a grade level. Wouldn’t it be just as simple to assign a percent? If Math teachers presented students with a five-question quiz, assessing five individual outcomes, each question out of two marks, percent could easily be found and outcomes would be assessed. In Social Studies and English, it is not so simple. Students are assigned essays and other written work covering multiple outcomes. How can teachers be expected to pick apart an essay and assign a grade level for each outcome? They cannot. I understand that Alberta Education is changing the way that we learn and I am excited for this because I love to learn, but don’t want this to change the way I am assessed. If I am doing well, this is the way I am rewarded for working hard, this is the way I know that I have been successful at learning what I am required to know. On the other hand, if I am doing poorly or if I am having trouble with an outcome, a clear percent will show where I need to improve. This is fair and will inspire all students to work harder to improve. I also want to see better education for my fellow classmates and myself. I see that this can be so much more. I’ve always been taught that constructive criticism is good. Debate is
essential for good solutions. Please hear my plea for better education in Alberta. If Every Student, Every day, a Success is the end result that Battle River is trying to achieve, help us feel that success by clearly showing us how much we have learned, improved and where we need to work harder or improve more. Shaelyn Dolter Grade 11 Student Quality candidates Having recently moved to Camrose, I was impressed with the number and quality of candidates that participated in the election forum at the Bailey Theatre Oct. 7. Their love of this city and commitment to its well-being was obvious. The format for the forum was orderly, efficient and interesting, and helped me make an informed decision about which candidates that would best serve Camrose. Where the forum could have been improved, both for candidates and voters, would have been more transparency around the questions put to the candidates. It would have served us better if a list of relevant questions that reflected the wide range of responsibilities of the mayor and council and the school boards was prepared in advance of the forum. If all the candidates had access to the questions before the forum, they could be better prepared to answer the questions and offer voters a clearer choice in how they would govern. Extending the time limit for the candidates' answers from 90 seconds to two minutes would have given the candidates time to provide a more detailed answer. Camrose is a splendid place to live and the community involvement evident at the forum promises to ensure that all citizens' best interests will be served. Linda Gervais, Camrose
In loving memory of
Anne Bobik who walked through Heaven’s gates on October 21, 2008 If roses grow in Heaven, Lord Please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my Mother’s arms And tell her they’re from me. Tell her I love her and miss her, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek And hold her for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day, But there is an ache within my heart that will never go away. Thinking of you every day with love, Mom, Miss your sweet voice, your gentle kindness, your laughter and your beauty. You are forever in our hearts, Mom, and eternally at rest with Dad With much love, Your family
In loving memory of

SPECIAL THANKS
Murray Green, Camrose Booster Members of the Camrose Special Olympics joined treasurer Lorrie Sitler in thanking Camrose Police Service Const. Matt Wilton for helping raise $15,750 for the local Special Olympics programs in the area. The athletes thanked Const. Wilton and members of other protection services for planning, organizing and attending 30 hours on the scaffolding at Walmart during the Free our Finest event on Sept. 20 and 21.
Time speeds on, ten years are gone, Since death its gloomy shadow cast Upon our home, where all seemed bright And took from us a shining light. We miss that light, and ever will; His vacant place none can fill, Here we mourn, but not in vain, For in Heaven, we will meet again. Lovingly remembered by Bessie and families

Dodge Dart Infused with passion
Mike Cuthbert 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 classexclusive 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 rubyred 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. The centre console provides easy access to cell phones, MP3 players and cup holders. Safety Dodge has you covered from all angles with over 55 standard and available safety and security features, with advanced options like the segmentexclusive 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 all-speed traction control to help you maintain direction control. 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. All 2013 Dodge Dart models feature the security of a five-year powertrain warranty.
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 classleading 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 Da r t at Ca mrose Chrysler on Highway 13 east, Camrose. Phone 78 0 - 672 -2 476 and ask for one of the fr iendly sales professionals.

Quilters' guild donates quilt On September 18, the Battle River Quilters’ Guild donated a queen-size quilt valued at $1,000 to Centra Cam’s Andrea Parnell for use in Centra Cam's fundraising for the 2014 Self Advocate Conference entitled “Self Advocacy in Harmony." The Guild feels that this conference provides advocates an important opportunity to learn about services, increase awareness and socialize with friends. "We are very happy to have offered this quilt as one of the big ticket items for a raffle” said guild representative Alberta Tritten. The quilt, named “Four Patch Potpourri”, was started in October 2012 and has over 1,000 pieces. The Guild has supported several organizations in the past and will be holding a quilt show in June next year to display its members’ creations.

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.

Football Trojans qualify for playoffs By Murray Green
The Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team advanced to the playoffs by placing second in its division during the regular season. Camrose lost to the first place Stettler Wildcats, but beat Wetaskiwin, Rocky Mountain House and Ponoka to nail down a playoff matchup against the Lacombe Rams on Oct. 19. CCHS lost two games to the 4A schools from Red Deer, but they don't count towards the 3A standings for the Central Alberta high school teams. Lacombe finished third in the other division. "The Red Deer teams played at a faster pace, so it helped us when we played teams at our same level," said quarterback Brett Tetz. "Knowing you only had a half of a second helped me focus. Now having more time allows me to see the play develop in front of me. It leads to better decisions and helps me complete more passes." The coaches saw a change on offence. "I saw Brett reading and knowing that he had to get the play off sooner. He had to drop and make his throw pretty fast and I saw that as a benefit," added coach Adam Belanger. "The offensive line has played well and really solidified over the last couple of weeks." CCHS started believing in themselves when they beat Wetaskiwin 28-26. It led to a 15-12 victory over Rocky Mountain House and a 53-6 win over Ponoka. "I'm not sure what they have in the water in Rocky, but they always have big players and a good team. This year was no exception. Our guys handled them and our kicker scored the winning points," said coach Belanger. "We tried some different things against Ponoka because they are having a tough year. We threw for 217 yards and four touchdowns, and Brett went nine for 11." The game was positive for the Trojans. "It gives you so much confidence going into the playoffs. It shows that we can do it. Lacombe has good defensive backs, so we have to make smart decisions and complete the passes," said Brett. Lacombe runs a threefour defensive line. "They bring a lot of pressure from their linebackers, so it is something our line has to be prepared for," said the coach. "We will be helping Brett picking up the blitz so he knows where it is coming from." Making the playoffs is

the first step to having a successful season. "This is my first year at quarterback, so it is exciting to be in the playoffs," Brett added. "Last year I sat out with a broken leg and before that I was a running back." Kicker Bruno Damian of the Trojans is leading the league in scoring. "We have the confidence to kick a field goal inside the 35 yard line," said the coach. "It does give us confidence in knowing he is there. I want to score six points each time, but knowing he can kick field goals helps us out when we don't," added Brett. The quarter-final playoff matches determine the teams that will play in the semifinals. All playoff bound squads will play two or three games.

Huskies make playoffs By Murray Green
For the fist time since 2007, the Edmonton Huskies junior football team made the Prairie Football Conference playoffs. Three local players had a hand in helping turn around the fortunes of the team that has won national titles in 1962, 1963, 1964, 2004 and 2005. The Huskies didn't win a game last year, but went 5-3 this season to finish in third place. The defence was led by former Camrose Composite High School Trojans player Adam Kuntz. The middle linebacker led the Huskies with 46 tackles in eight games. The next highest total was 32 tackles. All around player Jonathan Heidebrecht chipped in with four tackles on defence. Jonathan also had one carry for five yards and handled the kicking duties. He punted 42 times for a 31.8 yard average. He was good on 17 of 18 extra point attempts and nine for 15 in field goal attempts. Injured linebacker Josh Millang had three tackles in the first game of the season. Former Trojan and Edmonton Eskimo linebacker Mike McLean coached the Huskies when they won in 2004 and 2005.
