Can you believe it! Santa Claus, legendary, portly, and joyous white-bearded man with the famous red suit took time out from his enormous responsibility at the North Pole to come to Camrose just a couple of weeks before his annual trek around the world on Christmas Eve. The cultural icon who exemplifies peace, joy, giving and caring for others dropped in to Camrose Public Library for a Christmas party to chat with children and to hear their Christmas wishes.

Curling’s Canada Cup coming to Camrose in 2014 By Dan Jensen

The eyes of the country will be on Camrose when the Canadian Curling Association (CCA) brings its 2014 Canada Cup to the EnCana Arena Dec. 3 to 7. “The Canada Cup logo will be all over this community over the next 12 months,” said Terry Morris, who is expected to be named Canada Cup event manager, during a Dec. 11 luncheon at EnCana attended by officials from the City, County and provincial government. The Canada Cup will be one of six events in the CCA’s 2014-15 Season of Champions and the first in curling’s Triple Crown. The 2015 World Financial Group Continental Cup will be held in the Markin McPhail Centre International Arena at Canada Olympic Park, Calgary Jan. 8 to 11, 2015, while the Tim Hortons Brier Canadian men’s championship will be held at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary Feb. 28 to March 8. “We couldn’t be happier to bring thee three major curling events to Alberta,” said Canadian Curling Association chief executive officer Greg Stremlaw in a written statement. “Curling fans all over the province have proven time and again

Terry Morris announces that Camrose has been chosen to host the Canada Cup of curling in 2014.

that they support and love our sport and they will be treated to some amazing curling during the Triple Crown.” The Canada Cup will feature seven men’s and seven women’s teams, who will be vying for a total purse of $140,000 as well as a spot in the 2017 Roar of the Rings qualifier leading up to the 2018 Olympic Games. “We know that the Brad Jacobs rink from Northern Alberta and the Jennifer Jones rink from Manitoba

will be here based on their wins at the Roar of the Rings in Winnipeg earlier this month,” said Morris. “The other teams, including the winner of the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier and the 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, should be known by the end of the current curling season.” The event’s host organizing committee will be made up of representative’s from the Camrose, Daysland and Hay Lakes curling clubs. “We’re excited to bring this elite level of curling to Camrose and to Alberta,” said host committee representative and senior vicechair Darren McDermott. “Alberta loves the sport of curling and we believe we have the premiere venue to showcase the best curling in the world. We would like to encourage everyone to come out and take advantage of the tremendous volunteer opportunities that accompany this event.” Camrose hosted the CCA/World Curling Federation’s Continental Cup of Curling, won by Team World over Team North America in 2008, the Alberta Scotties provincials in 2011, and the Boston Pizza Cup men’s provincials in 2012. “EnCana has proven its ability to host this type

of situation before,” said Camrose mayor Norm Mayer. “The community has always been very supportive from a volunteer point of view to make these things happen, so I think it will be a great success. We appreciate the fact Camrose has been chosen and we will do our best to make sure it is a fantastic event.” County reeve Don Gregorwich said it is a compliment to the curling community in Camrose and area to be chosen to kick off the Alberta Triple Crown. “It is a testament to the successful way that previous curling events that have been held here and the support that has been given by all the members of the community, whether it be people who sit in the seats or volunteer.” Morris said while the Canada Cup is still in its early years, the quality of curling at the event stacks up very well with events like the Tim Hortons Brier and the Continental Cup. “Comparatively this event is as good as the Brier if not better because you don’t get some of the provinces that don’t have very good teams.” The 2015 Continental Cup of Curling will feature a new format as, for the first time ever, Team Canada

will take on the rest of the world in an event similar to golf’s Ryder Cup. Team Canada will have six teams taking on an all-European side in a variety of curling competitions, including traditional team games, skins, mixed doubles and singles. The 2015 Tim Hortons Brier will also be notable as it will feature, for the first time, both a Team Canada entry – the winner of the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier in Kamloops, B.C. – as well as a pre-qualifying tournament that will determine the final 12-team field for the main round robin. CCA Season of Champions event include the Canada Cup, the Continental Cup, the Tim Hortons Brier, the M&M Meat Shoppe Juniors, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Ford World Curling Championships. “The Season of Champions events provide the CCA its annual television packages and accounts for 250 hours of coverage on TSN,” said Morris. “The Brier, Continental Cup and the Canada Cup are part of the Triple Crown and receive 100 hours of that coverage.” Tickets for the Canada Cup are expected to go on sale early in the new year.

Camrose Chrysler donates $50,000 to Performing Arts Centre By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Performing Arts Centre fundraising committee received an early Christmas present Dec. 12 in the form of a $50,000 donation from Camrose Chrysler. “It is a fantastic opportunity to be involved with a facility like this,” said Camrose Chrysler dealer principal Mike Rodin after presenting the cheque to Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger and Camrose mayor Norm Mayer. “It is going to be another anchor facility for our community.” Rodin said the new arts centre will put Camrose on the map even more than it is now. “It is just a testament to the type of city that we have and the development that is going on here.” Camrose Chrysler expressed interest in becoming involved in the performing arts centre in late September. “I spoke with the fundraising committee and took a look at the options that were available,” said Rodin. “I just felt this was the best fit for us. I wanted to make a significant contribution to help further the project.” The gift will make it possible to permanently identify the loges (box style seating areas) in the theatre with the seals of the City of Camrose and University of Alberta.

Camrose Chrysler dealer principal Mike Rodin (centre) presents a cheque for $50,000 to Augustana dean Dr. Allen Berger (left) and Camrose mayor Norm Mayer.

“In a sense Camrose Chrysler is making is making possible the symbolic recognition of the partnership between the City and the University,” said Dean Berger. “We are very grateful they have supported this. We couldn’t have done it without Camrose Chrysler.” Chrysler will receive signage in the theatre in recognition of its contribution.

Mayor Mayer said the donation from Camrose Chrysler will help make the new performing arts centre a building in which the entire community can take pride. “The performing arts centre gives us more credibility. It brings business to the community and provides an overall educational opportunity.”

The Camrose Performing Arts Centre fundraising committee has set a target of $5 million, of which $750,000 will be used to establish an endowment to support programming. “We have raised somewhere around $3 million and we are bullish we are going to get there,” said Dean Berger. “We are hoping to make an announcement on the nam-

ing rights fairly soon. Cargill, with its donation of $1 million has named the theatre. We are also hoping to name the entire building. We have a name in mind, but we are not quite ready to make a public announcement.” While the construction of the performing arts centre has fallen a little behind because of the cold weather, crews are starting to catch up and should have the building enclosed within the very near future. A soft opening has been planned for the spring of 2014, to be followed by the grand gala opening the first few days in October and a grand concert on Oct. 4. The Camrose Performing Arts Centre is a joint project of the Government of Alberta, the City of Camrose, Camrose County and the University of Alberta. The City of Camrose is contributing $4.5 million in funding from the municipal sustainability initiative program and will debenture an additional $4 million. In addition, the City is front-ending $4.25 million to be repaid by the current fundraising campaign. The University of Alberta contribution is $5.05 million, including in-kind contributions of $4.3 million, while Camrose County and the Province of Alberta contributions total $1 million and $3.5 million respectively.

Council passes 2014 interim budget By Dan Jensen

PUBLISHER

ADVERTISING SALES

Sales Manager

Optik TV

Camrose City council passed a 2014 interim operating based on 60 per cent of 2013 expenditures of $45,376,712 at its regular meeting on Dec. 2. Council will be passing a full operating budget prior to March 31. “We are hearing presentations and frankly, I think we have to shortly after the first of the year deal with setting an operating budget,” said Mayor Norm Mayer. “All we have to do at this stage is satisfy the government on an interim budget.” City manager Damian Herle noted that while he would be able to provide, with council’s input, directives to administration on discretionary spending until a full operating budget is passed, those (discretionary) costs account for a small portion of the budget. “The fixed costs and obligations that we have to meet account for the largest part of the budget. We have to meet our financial obligations in that regard. I wouldn’t anticipate a lot of discretionary areas moving forward over the next couple of months.” The City of Camrose is not required by legislation to have a full budget by a certain date. “We have to have our full budget approved prior to the setting of a mill rate, so it could be well into April, but that is not where I am coming from,” said Mayer. “I think we have to move ahead shortly after the first of the year.” The interim operating budget will cease to exist once the full operating budget is passed. “We are not setting individual budget lines so how the funds are allocated is up to administration,” said councillor Wayne Throndson. “We are setting a cap basically, a global amount.” City council was expected to approve the utility rates for 2013 at its regular council meeting yesterday (Dec. 16).

Merry Christmas! KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE THIS HOLIDAY The holiday season is a time of high fire risk! Fires, injuries, death and property losses increase significantly during the holidays. Heating, candles, cooking, and smoking cause the majority of fires during the holiday season. Practice fire safety in all of your holiday season activities by keeping the following in mind: • Keep your natural Christmas tree moist and away from heat sources. • Keep decorations away from lights and candles. • Keep matches, candles and lighters away from children. • Don’t overload your electrical circuits. • Don’t place space heaters too close to combustible items. • Test your smoke alarms. • Plan and practice a home fire escape plan.

Survey may determine RABC’s future By Murray Green

A survey could determine the fate of the Rural Alberta Business Centre in Camrose. The RABC is completing its second year of the three year pilot program and it is crucial that clients respond to a survey that has been sent to them. “The survey must be completed by Friday, Dec. 20. The outcome will greatly effect the future of the RABC in Camrose,” said small business advisor Louise Jones.

The business centre is a valuable asset to new, young and existing business owners in the Camrose area. Community feedback will help the provincial government decide whether or not the program is sustainable in the Camrose region. Client feedback will be used to determine the quality of services the RABC provides and the impact it has on the business community. All of the past clients

received an impact survey, which is due Friday. However, only completed surveys can be used to determine whether or not the centre receives funding once the pilot project ends in 2014. The RABC offers access to business information, including advice, training and research services. It also provides one-on-one consultations, workshops and seminars for entrepreneurs.

Credit Unions plan to merge The boards of directors of Battle River Credit Union and Caisse Horizon (Horizon) Credit Union confirmed last week that they have entered into formal discussions to investigate the amalgamation of their two credit unions. Once discussions have been successfully concluded, Battle River Credit Union will welcome the members, branches and staff of Horizon into their operations effective April 1, 2014. If the required regulatory approvals are received, and both organizations’ members vote in favour of this growth opportunity, the amalgamated Credit Union will serve over 25,000 members at 17 branch locations, with more than 160 staff members and approximately $810 million in assets. In early 2014 a process will be launched to select a new name for the merged credit union. “Battle River and Horizon share the same vision of a strong, sustainable regional credit union that is differentiated based on its local orientation, quality of personalized service, and advice,” announced Credit Union board chairs Alan Fielding (Battle River) and Reg Bouchard (Horizon). “The two legacy credit unions operate in similar communities without overlapping branches and have complementary management team skills and resources. Combined, the two credit unions will immediately create a stronger and more robust organization,” shared Battle River CEO Steve Friend. Horizon Credit Union CEO Trudy Rasmuson views this merger as “an excellent opportunity for the two credit unions that have the same vision for the future, to partner to build on combined strengths for the benefit of members, communities and staff. Our merger is all about being better together and growing for the future.” Battle River Credit Union is a full-service financial institution with 11 branch locations in Central Alberta its Camrose-based administrative centre. With over 15,500 members, $625 million in assets and 110 employees, Battle River is known for delivering value added products and services to its members and its commitment to community. Horizon Credit Union is a full-service financial institution with six branches located in Northwestern Alberta. With more than 9,500 members, $185 million in assets and 52 employees, Horizon is committed to providing high-quality products and services and delivering on the financial needs of its members.

Funding requests presented to council By Dan Jensen

The Camrose Japan Friendship Society, Camrose and District Support Services, Camrose and District Centennial Museum, Camrose Founders Days committee and Rose City Handivan Society presented their 2014 funding requests to Camrose City council Dec. 2. The Camrose Japan Friendship Society is requesting $2,500 to assist with the cost of hosting Kendo and Booming Tree Taiko presentations. Kendo is Japanese fencing using wooden swords, while Booming Tree Taiko is high energy Japanese drumming. “The cost of the two together is $3,500 but in our accounts we have at this point $2,200 so we are thinking of using that to offset the overture for this year,” explained Camrose Japan Friendship Society secretary Thomas Midbo. City councillor Max Lindstrand commended the Japan Friendship Society for the work it is doing. “I think it is great to expose our community to other cultural events from other countries, especially since we have a twinning relationship with Kamifurano,” said Lindstrand. Midbo said the idea is to hold both presentations in the Camrose schools. “They would benefit both youth and seniors. Involving

seniors is an important component to the whole piece.” The Camrose Japan Friendship Society received $7,000 from the City of Camrose in 2013, $6,000 of which came from the community assistance fund for Camrose-Kamifurano twinning celebrations. Camrose and District Support Services requested that the funding the City provides be increased from $105,000 to $130,000. “We definitely recognize that we are requesting more money at a time that is perhaps not favourable to that request,” said CDSS executive director Margaret Holliston, “however we do feel we have at least some rationale behind that.” Holliston said funding requests presented by CDSS programs exceeded by $53,000 the amount that was available to be disbursed. “Not all of the programs received what they asked for when the CDSS board set the (proposed) budget and some of the programs will be facing reductions. The family violence programs that we offer through CDSS receives $5,000 less than what they need in order to run full programming next year, and Service Options for Seniors receives $5,000 less.” Under the current funding formula, the provincial government provides 80 per cent of funding for CDSS programs, while the municipality provides 20 per cent. The

20 per cent contribution by the City of Camrose in 2013 amounted to $95,000, a total that was topped up with an extra $10,000. The provincial grant to the City of Camrose, administered by CDSS, has been frozen since 2008-09 at $380,545. “We are finding that our expenses have increases and the municipalities are picking up the tab,” said Holliston. “That of course is an issue for provincial-municipal conversations moving forward with respect to the province considering raising the provincial piece of the grant. We are working on advocacy and negotiation with that particular issue, but in the meantime our local costs are increasing and our local needs are continuing to present themselves.” Councillor Lindstrand said by freezing its grant, the provincial government has effectively frozen the amount the municipalities contribute to CDSS as well. “Our contributions have always been 20 per cent of what the province contributes, plus this 10 per cent over contribution that we have made. I certainly don’t agree with the province freezing those grants because obviously costs go up. I sat on the CDSS board when this proposed budget was adopted and one of the things we had to wrestle with was the fact that the

CDSS staff received no increases to salaries at all in the previous year, even though the cost of living increases were two and a half or three per cent. Their salaries were frozen from the previous year, so we felt at the very least they should be given some cost of living adjustment to their salaries for 2014.” Lindstrand added that while he is not opposed to an additional contribution from the City, he is not sure whether $25,000 is the correct amount. “I don’t know what it ought to be. I wouldn’t support $25,000 but perhaps something more than we have contributed.” CDSS has a global budget of $773,180, of which $618,544 is funded by the provincial government and $154,636 by the City of Camrose, Camrose County, and villages of Bawlf, Bittern Lake, Edberg, Ferintosh, Hay Lakes and Rosalind. Councillor Bill Sears expressed the importance of the City of Camrose funding social programs. “I recall the conversation we had with the police chief when we asked him what we could do,” said Sears. “He said help out social programs. It is all connected. You can either provide social services or pay later in the form of police services.” Continued on page 13

The CAMROSE BOOSTER, December 17, 2013 – Page 13

Council budget requests Continued from page 12 The Rose City Handivan Society is requesting $60,800 for 2014, the same as it received in 2013. Rose City Handivan Society president Iris Baker told council Camrose handivans provide daily transportation for 21 children ages six and up, 14 children between the ages of three and six, 20 to 23 clients of Centra Cam and Camrose Association for Community Living, seven to eight members of the Bethany Crossroads program, and numerous others who need to get to the hospitals or clinics. “Our handivan service is only for people who find it very difficult to get around and are unable to use conventional methods of transportation and” said Baker. Rose City Handivan Society treasurer Agnes Minnes told council that the society had a surplus on operations of $6,800 in 2012 and $15,000 in 2011, money that could be used to purchase a new van. “We have the funds now to support half the cost of a new van,” said Minnes. “We should have ordered one last year. In the past the City has contributed 50 per cent. The last van we bought three years ago was $98,000, so I am assuming it will be close to that amount again.” Minnes said the Rose City Handivan Society receives many requests to provide services past 5 p.m. and does the best it can with the three drivers it has. “We tried two years ago to put on a handivan for Thursday evenings and Saturdays for people to go shopping, but the response was minimal. We had to stop it because it was costing more than it was taking in.” Minnes said the Society would have to talk to the drivers about whether they would be willing to accommodate those that need to go places after 5 p.m. “They are putting in long hours. They are transporting people from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and they really don’t even get a lunch break per se.” Mayor Norm Mayer questioned whether adding another van would allow the Handivan Society to consider the idea of making trips to Edmonton. “If we went two specific days, say Tuesday and Thursday would it be possible to have a driver assigned to that type of run? It would probably only have to go as far as Leduc. They would be able to tie in there with the transit system for Edmonton, as opposed to going right into the city. It would be worth exploring from your (Handivan) point of view just to see what might be available. Unfortunately, I don’t personally feel the

community is large enough or financially capable of getting involved in a public transportation system. I guess I am looking at this as an alternative to those who really need some assistance.” Mayor Mayer said council will need to have a conversation with the Camrose taxi companies to see whether a reduced rate can be worked out for those who can’t afford the full charge. Camrose and District Centennial Museum presented a request for $127,528 to cover the cost of utilities, insurance, grounds upkeep and maintenance, as well as the wages of the director of operations, collections assistant, seasonal staff, gift shop manager, and exhibit technical assistant. “It would be very beneficial to the museum to have the director of operations/ curator working full-time hours per week and making sure the museum is at the top of its game,” said a handout provided to council. “The Alberta Government wage info for curators and managers of museums has an average wage of $30 to $40 an hour. Our director of operations/curator has been working for us for seven years. We pay her just over starting wages. We would like to increase her pay to be closer to the Alberta average.” The handout also stated that the museum is in the midst of a large inventory/data entry project that involves cataloguing all artifacts that have been donated since 1964. “It has been ongoing for almost three years now and we estimate we have another two years left. The main inventory is almost complete but we have thousands of artifacts that have no accession numbers or mismatched accession numbers. The next step of the project is to try to match these artifacts up to paper records from the past. The director of operations/ curator has invested a lot of her time to this project but if there was a collections assistant to help complete this project, the director of operations could focus more on the management and business end of the museum’s needs.” Camrose and District Centennial Museum had just under 4,000 visitors in the 2013 season. The Camrose Founders Days committee presented a request for $10,000 for the 2014 Founders Days celebration, the same as it received in 2013. “We are very fortunate to have many partners contributing to the amazing festival and we look forward to another ultra successful event in 2014,” said Camrose Founders Days

Christmas balls history The first Alsatians to decorate a Christmas tree did so with apples. The tree symbolized the Garden of Eden and they would recreate the famous scene where Adam and Eve bite into the fruit. However, one year, the harvest was so meager that sacrificing precious food was out of the question. To keep the tradition going, a glassblower replaced the apples with apple-sized glass balls. The tradition of Christmas balls was born. From there, the custom spread across Europe. The best artisans would try to outdo each other. Blown glass balls, clear balls, hand-painted balls, or balls covered in lace, the imagination and the styles were endless. Subsequently, other decorations were added to the Christmas tree. Sweets, shortcakes, candles, dry fruit, nuts, small toys, and any bright objects were used to fill the branches. A large star was also placed at the

top of the tree to epitomize the Star of Bethlehem that guided the Wise Men to Baby Jesus. Today, Christmas tree decorations are no longer edible. However, the big stores, just like the ancient artisans, rival each other to offer the most beautiful and original decorations. Many centuries after its creation, the Christmas ball remains the basis for the most beautifully decorated Christmas trees, proving that this tradition is meant to endure.

Second-year students in the University of Alberta After Degree Nursing program at the Richard Husfloen Centre in Camrose took their training to a higher level Nov. 19. Working under the watchful eye of Camrose EMS personnel and emergency room workers from both St. Mary’s and Wetaskiwin General Hospital, the students drew on all the knowledge they have gained up to now as they attended to patients in a simulated disaster training program. “It was an opportunity for them to learn in a controlled setting where no one is going to die what needs to be done,” said U of A After Degree Nursing program coordinator Lyndel Kasa. “With the expertise of Camrose EMS and the registered nurses they were able to walk through the situation and decide what assessments would be appropriate.” The exercise was also a

good opportunity for the students to see exactly what paramedics do in the field before they bring patients to the hospital emergency room. “You see them when they get to the emergency room but you don’t get to see what actually happens out in the field and in the ambulance before the patient gets to you,” said Kasa. “They (students) were able to work with the paramedic teams, respond to the patient, do the initial treatment and then transport the patient back to the mock emergency room in our lab.” The role players for the exercise were after degree nursing program’s 11 firstyear students, whose assignment it was to research injuries ranging from burns and broken legs to embedded objects and protruding intestines. “The students were really excited to act that out,” said Kasa. The University of Alberta After Degree nursing program has been holding

simulated training exercises for the last four years. The idea, according to Kasa, is to expose them to what really happens in a trauma situation so that when they are the first one to respond to an emergency situation or put to work in an emergency room they are not completely foreign to what has to be done. “Once you see it in a lab situation you have a better chance of responding appropriately,” said Kasa. The University of Alberta After Degree Nursing program started in 2006 with six students, a number that has reached as high as 24. Those who successfully complete the 23 months of both theoretical and practical studies are awarded a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. “The clinical practicums are built in throughout the program, so they might have a few weeks of classroom theory courses and then have two days a week that they spend in a hospital working on the clinical things,” said Kasa.

Judilonne Beebe was one of ten recipients of the Government of Alberta Inspiration Award (one of three in the individual category) November 1 for her commitment to ending family violence. “It is a real honour to even be nominated for something like this,” said Beebe. “The award provides recognition for the work I have done.” Beebe has worn many different hats over the last 39 years: child and youth care counsellor, social worker, foster parent, community awareness coordinator, board member and presently chairperson for the Camrose Women’s Shelter and executive director of the Association of Communities Against Abuse, a Stettlerbased company with five trained therapists working in Camrose, one in Drumheller, and one in Tofield. She has been a key player in bringing psycho-educational group programming to men, women and children involved in, or affected by family violence, and represented Alberta on a national committee with the Public Health Agency of Canada to develop the training resource, Addressing Family Violence...Peace Begins at Home. Beebe worked at the Camrose Women’s Shelter from 1985 to 1996 as the community awareness coordinator. “I worked at the Camrose Women’s Shelter threequarter time and when I wasn’t there I was working with the Association of Communities Against Abuse,” said Beebe. “When I left the women’s shelter I started working with the Association full-time.” Beebe has seen many changes in the area of family violence over the years, most of which have been for the better. “There are more women’s shelters that have opened, there is more programming in women’s shelters, and the justice department has changed how they deal with offenders,” said Beebe. “As well, the RCMP have more ability to lay charges now than they had in the past and the courts are actually imposing stiffer sentences.” Beebe said there is less stigma surrounding the issue of family violence, something that has come with the greater efforts at creating awareness. “We haven’t eliminated the problem yet but hopefully we will some day.” The Inspiration Awards were presented by Alberta Associate Minister of Family and Community Safety Sandra Jansen in Calgary as a launch of Family Violence Awareness Month. “Family Violence is a society issue which demands a societal response,” said Jansen. “This year’s award recipients demonstrate the power of individuals and communities to make a difference in their communities. Their efforts are helping to build a safer and healthier Alberta.” Family violence is the abuse of power within relationships of family, trust or dependency that endangers the survival, security or well-being of another person. It can take many forms, including spousal abuse, senior abuse and neglect, child abuse and neglect, child sexual abuse, parent abuse, and witnessing abuse of others in the family. Family violence may include some of all of the following behaviours: physical abuse, psychological abuse, criminal harassment /stalking, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse and spiritual abuse.

Camrose churches to put on Christmas dinner By Murray Green

The Camrose Church of God will be holding a Christmas Eve dinner for less fortunate people. “A few families from the church had an idea of doing something that would bring the community together,” said Steve Mitts. “We have sessions in December on crazy love and its about things you can do in the community to make it better. Its about getting out of your comfort zone and helping others.” Even though the families know that the Norsemen Inn hosts a Christmas dinner for those who don’t have a lot of food or family, they wanted to provide another meal. “We decided to have one on Christmas Eve and that we would serve what we normally would serve at our tables during the holidays,” Steve explained.”We will have turkey, dressing and all of the trimmings. This is an open invitation to the community. This is to fill a void for those who want a great supper, university students who can’t get home for the holidays, or for people who are lonely and need a place to go.” What started as a thought quickly turned into a plan. “A lot of church people stepped up and asked to help us. I received a little piece of paper saying they can provide 50 desserts and others say they are busy that day, but here is our financial contribution. The response has been overwhelming,” added Steve. “I expect that it will be a wonderful event.” The meal will be served in the Church of God basement from 3 to 6 p.m. “We are taking invitations to the Open Door, all the universities and colleges, food bank and other churches. We also have a food drop off box at the church that we donate to the food bank,” said Steve. “We believe the more Christmas meals people can serve the better. Providing food on the table is a way for everyone sharing. There is a need in the community.” Phone Steve at 780-672-1340 for more information, or to learn how you can volunteer.

Comfort and Joy. You could stay with your relatives, of course, if you like floors, couches and air mattresses.

$109.00 per night /single occupancy/plus tax

But we have a pool and cozy beds waiting for you, often just a few minutes drive away from your family home, so you don’t have to choose between comfort and joy this holiday season. Canalta Hotels is your holiday home away from home, and we wish you and your family the very best this holiday season.

CCHS Trojans award top football players

Murray Green, Camrose Booster The Camrose Composite High School Trojans presented awards to 10 players at the end of the year banquet. Back row from left to right, top backs Riley McNabb and Hirotaka Yamashiro, Trojan Pride Jason Rivet and MVP players Michael Ioanidis and Tim Carberry. Front row from left to right, special teams Bruno Damian, least recognition Jeff Umpherville, most improved Brandon Thompson, top rookie Michael Davidse and top lineman Alex Loosemore.

By Murray Green The Camrose Composite High School Trojans football team celebrated the success it had on the field this year during an awards banquet at the Norsemen Inn Dec. 3. The coaching staff, led by head coach Adam Belanger, reflected on the season that started slowly but ended with the squad making the playoffs. Two players were selected as co-winners of the most valuable player award. Both Michael Ioanidis and Tim Carberry shared the honours after leading the team. “In nine games, Michael picked up about 1,000 yards behind a rookie offensive line. He made the opposition miss tackles and he was a huge part of our offence,” said Adam. “It was too hard to name just one player. Tim was an outstanding player and leader. I’ve seen the growth over the past three years. He played everywhere for us and did whatever we asked him to do.”

The Trojan pride trophy went to Jason Rivet. The special teams award went to kicking specialist Bruno Damian. “Bruno has done a fantastic job kicking field goals, placing punts where we needed them, or just booting them as hard as he could,” said Adam. “It’s sad to see him go, but I’m happy that I coached him for three years.” Most improved player on the Trojans was Brandon Thompson. The player who made the greatest contribution with the least recognition was Jeff Umpherville. Outstanding rookie honours went to Michael Davidse, while the top lineman award was presented to Alex Loosemore. Hirotaka Yamashiro and Riley McNabb received the top offensive and defensive backs trophies. Presentations were also made to graduating players for playing over the last three years.

Crowfoot MP Kevin Sorenson holds open house By Justin Brattinga

Kevin Sorenson’s Christmas open house on Dec. 6 was a cozy environment with a few guests of all walks and ages. As each of the different guests arrived it began to take shape and soon the entire constituency was represented. Tasty refreshments and an intimate setting gave the open house a setting that was almost festive. As everyone gathered in preparation there was familial conversation and friendly banter as the room filled. Mr. Sorenson, who insisted that everyone call him Kevin, knew many of the constituents by name and addressed them with the warmth of a friend. He had flown in from Ottawa and come straight from the airport. He pointed out that it was only about -2 in Ottawa, an amusing contrast for

guests who had braved the sub-arctic temperatures to attend the event. He made each guest feel warm and welcome, even referring to past conversations and past events with many of them. Those he didn’t already know personally he made an effort to get to know, and added a personal welcom-

The Camrose Booster thanks you for your interest in the letters page and encourages your comments. Bullying

There has been, in the last little while, quite a bit about bullying in a school setting. We have all heard about this one girl who killed herself because of the way she was bullied at school and online. After bullies grow up and leave high school they enter the work place. So there is just as much bullying in the work place as there is online and in schools. I believe that many people have heard of bullying but do not know what it is. The federal government has a website which has a section on bullying in the work place. What is work place bullying? “Bullying is usually seen as acts or verbal comments that could “mentally” hurt or isolate a person in the workplace. Bullying usually involves repeated incidents or a pattern of behavior that is intended to intimidate, offend, degrade or humiliate a particular person or group of people.” What are examples of bullying? Examples include spreading malicious rumors, gossip, or innuendo that is not true, excluding or isolating someone socially, intimidating a person, undermining or deliberately impeding a person’s work, physically abusing or threatening abuse. These are only examples. The list goes on and on. How can bullying affect the individual and the work place? For the individual it can cause shock, anger, feelings of frustration, loss of confidence, inability to sleep, loss of appetite, inability to sleep, panic or anxiety especially going to work, inability to concentrate and low morale and productivity. To the workplace, increased absenteeism, turnover, stress, decreased productivity and so forth. This is just a sample of how this affects the individual or workplace. Now, what can you do if you feel that you are being bullied? You can firmly tell the person that what they are doing is not acceptable. Keep a journal or diary of what was done and said with dates. Please include witnesses, and the outcome of the event. Keep emails and letters from the person. Report the behavior to your supervisor or to the person listed in the company’s harassment policy. Whatever you do, do not retaliate. If you do, it will look like that you are the perpetrator. This will cause confusion to those looking into the complaint. You could be the one punished. If you need to see the web page, visit www.ccohs.ca/ oshanswers/psychosocial/bullying.html. This is the article which the government has on workplace bullying. Knowing can make a difference between feeling that you have the power to do something about your situation at work or just being a unhappy victim. The choice is up to you. Lorne W.P Vanderwoude Camrose

ing sentiment for everyone, engaging them in conversation and answering any questions they might have had. Compliments passed freely from his lips, and he spoke freely on many issues. As to the political issues that arose, Mr. Sorenson echoed those sentiments given by his party, showing his loyalty to the Conservatives, but also his personal belief that they are on the right track. He sometimes showed these beliefs with a personal touch but always steered away from any partisanship as he kept the atmosphere positive. Mr. Sorenson, in his first open house as a cabinet minister, said that only good things are going to come from the government in the future. He said Canada’s place in economic leadership will continue, with the economy growing and taxes falling.

He believes that Prime Minister Harper is the correct person to have at the reins of the nation, and that he has been since he took power. He praised Minister Jim Flaherty, saying that he has always had great respect for him during his time with the party and that a huge highlight of his new portfolio is working with him. His new responsibilities include much travelling across the nation, taking much of the travelling responsibilities that Flaherty had previously done. Mr. Sorenson stated that despite these new duties, he is still going to be around for his constituents. While he loves the constituency work, his new work has “increased the size of that constituency to encompass the country.” He remarked to me on the Senate scandal, say-

ing that politicians who have lied and charged false expenses to the taxpayer are not acting in good faith and deserve to be removed from their position. The media coverage of the event is overwhelming and Mr. Sorenson believes that the Prime Minister has acted correctly and is a victim of this scandal rather than an architect. The Senate has been corrupted by some of its members, and now there will be a lengthy process needed to clean up that corruption. In all, Minister Sorenson had a warm and welcoming attitude, showing that even with his increased duties he still intends to be in his constituency often, carrying out his duties as Member of Parliament as well as Finance Minister. Crowfoot is his home, and Canada is his duty.

Miley Cyrus, moral panic and music history Second Thought Miley Cyrus believes that, by twerking, stripping and sticking out her tongue, she is making pop music history. At least, that’s what she said of her (now-infamous) performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, during which she wore a revealing, skin-coloured outfit and gyrated suggestively against the singer Robin Thicke as he performed his hit single “Blurred Lines.” In the weeks following this performance, Miley was at the epicenter of the apoplectic social media, blogosphere and mainstream news, with a broad range of commentators—who were clearly troubled by her explosive transformation from Disney ingénue to pop music coquette—speculating about her mental health and/or her contributing role in the imminent collapse of western civilization. As a musicologist and music critic, I’m less interested in all of this pop psychologizing and hand-wringing moralizing and more intrigued by how “history” is invoked in Miley’s on-going succès de scandale. Miley’s claim that she and Thicke knew before and during their MTV performance that they were “about to make history.” Unfortunately, this claim was undermined by her subsequent attempts to rebut her critics and to minimize the significance of her bump-and-grind performance; after the show, Miley posed the poignant rhetorical question, “How many times have we seen this play out in pop music?” She went on to assert, “Madonna’s done it. Britney’s done it. Every VMA performance, that’s what you’re looking for; you’re wanting to make history.”

Alex Carpenter, Music, Augustana Campus, University of Alberta

Given her awareness of pop music history, and especially of the history of inflammatory performances at music awards shows, it was quite reasonable for Miley to insist that her many critics were “over-thinking” the import of her gratuitous butt-shaking routine. Really, this is old hat. Can we easily differentiate Miley and her in-your-face, in-the-news sexuality from the legion of young female music stars of the recent past—from Britney Spears to Christina Aguilera to Rihanna to Ke$ha— who struggle to remain provocative and ahead of the curve in the long shadow of Madonna’s overtly libidinous “boy toy” aesthetic, which so utterly re-shaped the landscape of pop culture in the early 80s? The mistakes Miley’s many critics make in whipping up a moral panic are twofold: to characterize the young singer and actress as an exploited child, and to

express shock and outrage at her behavior. I think some perspective is needed here. First, she is an adult, in the early stages of a very carefully-managed career as an international pop superstar. I would argue that it would behoove us to reserve our concern and condemnation for, say, the pedophiliac forces that stage-managed a 16 year old Britney Spears into a “sexy schoolgirl” outfit for her controversial performance in the music video for her first song “(Hit me) Baby one more time” in 1998. Second, as Miley herself points out, we’ve seen this all before. We are clearly neo-Victorians with shortterm memory loss if the shenanigans of a half-dressed, twenty-something sex muppet comprise global news and cause us paroxysms of sexual anxiety. As history shows, and as Miley herself knows and has pointed out, what the public outcry and media circus amount to is album sales. All press is good press. In the end, Miley’s performance is a bit shopworn and recycled: neither historymaking nor worthy of condemnation or moral panic. If you’ll forgive the slightly off-key religious allusion, Miley is simply the second, or third, or fourth coming of Madonna; like Madonna, she is adroitly co-mingling and parlaying themes of sexual liberation-as-feminism, exploitation and self-empowerment into wealth and celebrity. With apologies to Santayana, Miley—like the compendium of prior pop princesses she invokes—is not so much making history as she, and we, are doomed to repeat it.

Parliamentary Report Kevin Sorenson, MP, Crowfoot Securing Free Trade with Europe

Many constituents are talking about the CanadaEuropean Union trade agreement. Given the fact that our riding is strongly based in agriculture, we will be one

of the chief benefactors of a free trade agreement with Europe. Over my tenure as your member of parliament, a major concern in our region of Alberta has always been the cultivating of the next generation of farmers. I am glad to hear that many of us already recognize that free trade with Europe is the biggest incentive for future farmers and ranchers in our

region since the years of the wheat boom. It is already estimated that the trade agreement will boost Canada’s economy by $12 billion annually – the equivalent of creating 80,000 new jobs or increasing the average Canadian household’s annual income by $1,000. It will give Canadian businesses in every sector and region of our country access to more than 500

million new customers in Europe, creating thousands of new jobs for Canadians. It is without a doubt that the Canada-European Union trade agreement will be the biggest deal Canada has ever made. Canada has always been an ‘exporting nation’ and our exports are currently responsible for one out of every five jobs in Canada. Trade offers Cana-

dian consumers a greater choice of lower-priced goods and services. Historically, trade has always increased Canadian prosperity and boosted our standard of living. When Canada trades, our whole country becomes more competitive, as: prices for goods and services fall; wages, salaries and our standard of living rise; businesses can hire more workers; and Canadian

Feeders Association. They have been working diligently on this file and closely with Alberta Conservative Caucus. I am pleased that they are already preparing for Europe’s specific protocols and working to ensure Canada’s ranchers satisfy other technical conditions. I was impressed with the cattlemen’s knowledge, progress and foresight regarding the

Canada-European Union trade agreement. The trade agreement will make Canada one of the only developed countries to have preferential access to the world’s two largest markets – the European Union and the United States. It will make Canada even more attractive for investors and manufacturers, which will create jobs and opportunities for Albertans and all Cana-

dians. We can all be proud of this momentous achievement. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or previous columns you may write to me at 494550th Street, Camrose, Alberta, T4V 1P9, call 780-6084600, toll-free 1-800-6654358, fax 780-608-4603 or e-mail Kevin.Sorenson. c1@parl.gc.ca.

Someone on the Calgary Mustangs made the mistake of poking the bear. The Mustangs were running free in the opening period on Dec. 11, which led to a 3-0 score in their favour. Three goals were scored in seven minutes. However, the bears were rudely brought back to reality after Calgary scored a shorthanded marker midway through the first frame. It was embarrassing that the Kodiaks allowed a shorthanded goal after the Mustangs were called for a too many men penalty. Not on did the Kodiaks not make Calgary pay for it, they gift wrapped a three goal margin. The embarrassment made the Kodiaks dig in their claws. Tanner MacMaster led the bears in the comeback by garnering the first Camrose tally after the first minute in the second. He backed that up with a power play marker two minutes later and the bears dug in for a fight. Connor Mailey completed the momentum reversal by adding another goal at about the mid-way point in the second to tie the game at 3. The Kodiaks didn’t stop until 60 minutes were played. Cam Gotaas, Ryker Leer and Ryan Huolt collected tallies in the third to complete the comeback as the team scored six straight goals. Matt Zentner started in the Camrose net, but was pulled after making four saves on seven shots. Devin

Camrose Kodiaks’ forward Luc Vandale found a gift lying in the Calgary Mustangs’ crease prior to the holidays. The Kodiaks want to finish the year off with a couple of road wins before the break. The annual Walk A Mile event will be held during the Jan. 4 game.

McDonald came in to close the gate on the horses as he stopped 22 straight shots. Huolt scored on an unassisted play with about three minutes left in the third period to give the Camrose Kodiaks a point against the Spruce Grove Saints on Dec. 7. A too many men penalty in the overtime frame cost Camrose the other point when it led to a Saints power play tally. “Despite the overtime loss to the Saints, we are finally clicking. We survived a early season down time, but we are playing a lit better now,” said Luc Vandale. “Over the last three weeks

we are getting points and it definitely helps us move up in the standings. It was a tough loss against Spruce Grove, but earning three out of four points was huge for us.” Braeden Salverda and Mailey garnered the other goals for the Kodiaks. In the Camrose net, McDonald stopped 32 of 36 shots, while the Kodiaks sent 28 shots at the Spruce Grove cage. “We are now finding a way to win. Now we have that ‘we hate to lose mentally.’ When the team was in the slump, we didn’t have that. We felt sorry for each other. Now we have that drive to

fight back if we are down a goal. We have 20 guys that want to score that goal to bring us back to winning the game,” said Luc. The bears mauled the Calgary Mustangs 5-1 the previous evening with five different Kodiaks scoring single markers. After a 1-1 opening period, Camrose responded with four straight power play goals. Huolt, Vandale, Stefan Danielson, Nick Harder and Mailey collected the goals, while McDonald saved 18 of 19 shots in the Camrose net. The Kodiaks doubled the horses in shots, 38-19.

“Confidence is huge,” said Luc. “For me personally, I had a tough time earlier in the season. When you don’t score, the confidence goes down. Now everyone believes they can score and its been happening. We have been winning games by scoring four or five goals. “It’s such a log jam in the standings, so each game is huge. It’s crucial to get the points now before the break. In January, all of the teams will step up and it’s a whole new season in a sense. It will be a dog fight in the last 20 games and to finish as high as we can is our goal. “Our power play is going a lot better now, but is could still be improved. Our goal is to hit 50 per cent. Special teams will be huge as we head down the stretch.” The Kodiaks will wrap up 2013 with games on Dec. 20 and 21 when they travel to Canmore and Calgary to take on the Eagles and Mustangs. The next home games for the Kodiaks are on Jan. 3 and 4 when the Okotoks Oilers and Brooks Bandits play on back-to-back nights in the EnCana Arena. The Brooks game will feature the annual Walk a Mile event hosted by the Camrose Women’s Shelter between periods. Camrose continues with a home stand on Jan. 10 when the Whitecourt Wolverines stop in for a visit and the Bonnyville Pontiacs play a Sunday 2 p.m. game in Camrose.

Local hockey players make strides with their skating By Murray Green

The Battle River Hockey Academy students received some special instruction from skating expert Dr. Mike Bracko on Nov. 27. The academy is made up of Charlie Killam School junior high students and led by instructor Ryan Galenza. The in-school academy is dedicated to improve hockey skills of the students. “There are three factors that affect skating performance in hockey. We look at physics/biomechanics, fitness and muscle memory,” said Dr. Bracko. “We want to improve the game performance skating ability in hockey players. Skating is the most unique movement pattern that there is. You are on ice, which is slippery and the blades on your skates are very small, so it makes it hard to accelerate.” Bracko, who tried out for the Calgary Flames in 1981, works for the Institute for Hockey Research (IHR) that is the only organization in the world that has a dedicated research agenda for the scientific investigation of hockey. It is a nonprofit organization. No external funding is

received to conduct research. All research expenses are paid for by the consulting services and skating clinics conducted by IHR. “There is no such thing as a slow hockey player. There are, however, hockey players with slow twitch muscle fiber,” explained Dr. Bracko. “Fast skaters have wide strides with legs pushing to the side, deep knee bends, lean forward and have arm movement to the side that is coordinated with the legs.” Skaters should not bring their legs to the centre of the body, but have a wider stride.

“The difference in fast and slow skaters is the time it takes them to bring the blade flat to propulsion on the inside edge. The inside edge is where skaters push off of,” said Dr. Bracko. “When their recovery skate lands it is in line with the shoulders, hip and knee. In order to improve speed in hockey skating, players have to get their skate on the ice as quickly as possible after pushing off.” Public information is provided through seminars on skating performance, skating and hockey research, exercise, fitness, and perfor-

mance enhancement, writing in magazines such as the American College of Sports Medicine’s Health and Fitness Journal. Dr. Bracko also presents and publishes research on skating and hockey. “To develop high performance muscle memory, a hockey player must practice skills and movements that are used during a game,” stated Dr. Bracko, to Camrose Minor Hockey coaches. “Swinging your arms forward and backward while skating creates momentum.” The Institute for Hockey Research has three primary objectives. It offers high performance skating clinics, off-ice training for high performance skating and public information. The skating coach watched, taped and went through the different in skating motions with the Battle River Hockey Academy students. “You can skate faster by not picking up your skates so high off the ice. It makes a small difference, but over three, or five strides it can be a major difference,” he added, at the

EnCana Arena during the on-ice session. Dr. Bracko is a sports physiologist who has specialized in hockey as a player, skating coach and researcher for 30 years. He conducts approximately 200 skating clinics each year. He also presents skating seminars to hockey associations. He specializes in small group clinics for younger players and teams and one-on-one clinics for junior to professional players. Bracko played junior hockey in Penticton, B.C. and received a college hockey scholarship at the University of Illinois-Chicago. He earned his Bachelor and Master of Science Degrees (physical education and exercise science) from the University of Illinois at Chicago and his Doctor of Education degree (exercise science) from Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. In May 1995, he earned the distinction as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association in Colorado Springs, CO. He now lives in Calgary.

Chevy Trax An entry to SUV market

Graeme Davidson By Dan Jensen

The 2014 Chevrolet Trax at McClellan Wheaton Buick GMC in Camrose is creating quite the stir. Trax provides Chevrolet an entry into a growing small SUV segment and delivers the flexibility, great fuel economy and carlike handling that urban explorers around the world require. "Trax is an important addition to the Chevrolet portfolio in Canada," said McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC dealer principal Will McClellan. "We believe Trax will be a popular choice with Canadians looking for the convenience and utility offered by a small SUV, which will be ideal to drive in urban centres and cities across Canada." Standard EcoTec engine With a standard 1.4 litre turbocharged ECOTEC engine, Trax gets you around and about the streets with full authority. Its output is a spirited 138 horsepower and 148 lb.-ft. of torque. So what is the advantage of turbocharging? It directs substantially

more air into each cylinder, enabling it to optimize each combustion cycle, while an intercooler cools the charged air entering the engine, allowing for more complete combustion and greater power output. Yet unlike many other turbocharged engines, the ECOTEC runs on regular fuel. Turbocharging not only increases output, it also makes Trax remarkably fuel efficient, with 7.8 litres per 100 km city and 5.7 litres per 100 km highway ratings. Maximum grip Trax's confident handling is the product of a wide stance and a series of driver control technologies that include standard StabiliTrak four-wheel ABS with Panic Brake Assist and Hill Hold Assist. An available ondemand All-Wheel Drive system automatically adapts to changing road conditions, improving traction by sending power to the wheels with the most grip. The system reverts to front-wheel drive mode, improving fuel efficiency, when the added traction isn't required. That helps

Trax earn its place as one of the most fuel efficient AWD vehicles on the road. Plenty of storage Trax has conveniently located storage areas within easy reach of the driver, including one in the middle of the instrument panel. When it comes time to move serious cargo, you'll find it easy to reconfigure the interior, thanks to the 60/40 flip-and-fold rear seat and fold-flat front passenger seat. With the rear seat folded down, Trax opens up a generous 1,371 litres of maximum cargo space. Keeping you entertained If you think of music as an essential part of driving, you'll find Trax has all your favourite tracks. All LT and LTZ models feature a standard CD player, MP3 playback and Bluetooth audio streaming. Choose the available Chevrolet MyLinkTM1 interactive sound system and you can access your music and apps – such as Stitcher SmartRadio – directly from your smartphone. A 178 mm colour

touch radio screen acts as the hub, although you can also use steering-wheelmounted controls to make selections. For the ultimate Trax listening experience, choose the available Premium Bose six-speaker sound system that includes an amplifier. The city landscape has its own share of hazards. So you should take comfort in the knowledge that Trax includes 10 standard airbags – the most in its class 4. Count 'em: dual stage front airbags, knee airbags, and side-impact seat-mounted airbags for the driver and front passenger, plus side-impact seat-mounted outboard rear seat airbags and head curtain side airbags for outboard seating positions. Add the peace of mind that accompanies the standard OnStar system that includes six months of the Directions & Connections Plan with Turn-by-Turn Navigation and RemoteLink. Also included is Automatic Crash Response that can automatically contact an OnStar advisor when a col-

lision occurs to help direct emergency service providers to your exact location. Impressive warranty Driving worry-free is key to fully enjoying the pleasures of owning a new Chevrolet. Whether it’s zipping across town or taking on a monumental road trip, you can set off knowing that every new Chevrolet is covered by a new vehicle limited warranty, GM Roadside Assistance and courtesy transportation. And for even greater peace of mind and coverage, Chevrolet also offers several available Protection Plans designed to suit your own driving needs. Trax adds to an already impressive Chevrolet portfolio in Canada, including the award-winning Cruze and recently launched, cityfriendly Sonic compact car and versatile Orlando small crossover. See the 2014 Chevrolet Trax at McClellan Wheaton Chevrolet Buick GMC at 3850-48 Avenue, Camrose. Phone 780-6722355 and ask for one of the friendly sales professionals.

The Montana State University Northern Skylights exposed a few holes in Augustana Vikings women’s and men’s basketball game plan on Dec. 6 and 7. Augustana Vikings’ women’s team only lost one game in the first half of the season, but the red hot (nine game winning streak) Skylights showed the squad has a little more work to do before the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference season resumes in January. Montana defeated the Vikings 66-48 and 69-56 in the two-game series. In the first contest, Kelsey Lund carried the offence with 24 points. No other teammate hit double figures in scoring as the Montana defence shut out all other options. Keri Kubinec led the Vikings on offence in the second meeting with 12 points. Taryn Story chipped in with 10 as the visitors adjusted to the quick Augustana guards and limited the success of the posts. The very disciplined Northern Skylights beat Augustana 81-54 and 79-58 in the series. No Montana player received more than two fouls in either game. Jamin Lockert led the Vikings in scoring with 18 and Lee Danderfer added 14 points on offence in the opening game. In the rematch, Danderfer was the leader with 19 points, while Taylor Foreman pitched in with 10 points. Montana (11-2 on the season) made 10 three-point shots in the first outing and 12 in the next meeting that backed the Vikings onto their heels. The Vikings will be holding a high school boys basketball tournament Jan. 2 to 5. Players will provide instruction as well as games.

Not only will we be paying 59 per cent more for postage next year, we will be travelling a lot further to pick up our mail. The cost of stamps will go up after March 31, with individual stamps marked as a $1. A proposed option to buy a roll of stamps could bring the cost down to 85 cents per stamp. The federal government is also moving in the direction of eliminating Canada Post door-to-door mail delivery over the next five years. “All Canadians will feel the pain from these proposed changes, not just the 8,000 workers who will lose their jobs across Canada or the 1,000 here in Alberta. Seniors or people living with disabilities will be particularly hard hit,” Gil McGowan, president of the Alberta Federation of Labour said. “The irony of the announcement is that the government said that postal workers are too essential to strike, but not essential enough to actually deliver the mail.” The impact will be severe for smaller cities like Camrose and surrounding communities that rely on the postal service as part of the local economy. “Canada Post Corporation has already cut thousands of jobs across the country by closing post offices and eliminating rural mail delivery,” McGowan said. “What’s really frustrating is that these cuts would have been unnecessary if the government allowed Canada Post to innovate with new services, like expanding into postal banking, which has been a huge success in Germany.” The higher postage costs and elimination of individual delivery could be the start of the privatization process. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is alarmed to learn of massive price hikes at Canada Post as part of its Fivepoint Action Plan. “Introducing massive letter mail price hikes for residential and business consumers is not the way to rescue a failing government entity,” said Dan Kelly, CFIB president. “These hikes will have a significant impact on many small businesses that use the mail to connect with customers or invoice and pay suppliers.” In an October 2013 survey of small business owners, it was found that 40 per cent send at least 50 pieces of letter mail per month and 98 per cent still use letter mail every month. “About 61 per cent of small business owners said sending and receiving mail was very important to their business operations and a fur-

create a more flexible and competitive Canada Post, according to the company. Canada Post lost $109 million in its last quarter and expects significant losses this year. The federal corporation hopes to return to financial sustainability by 2019. “This is a devastat-

ing announcement, that will hurt millions of Canadians and cripple an important public institution,” said Jerry Dias, Unifor national president. Senior citizens and many other Canadians depend on door-to-door delivery. Dias also noted

the opposition expressed by many municipalities to the construction of new super-mailboxes in existing neighbourhoods. Dias agreed that the post office must change its operations to reflect changes in communication technology, but that hardly implies

the radical downsizing envisioned by Canada Post’s management. The 8000 job cuts and widespread closings contemplated by Canada Post’s management may only add to the general problems still experienced in Canada’s labour market.

Rudolph “Rudy” Bernhart Haesloop March 31, 1929 – December 10, 2013 Rudolph (Rudy) was born to John and Bertha Haesloop on March 31, 1929. He passed away peacefully at Good Samaritan Home in Stony Plain, AB on December 10, 2013 at the age of 84 years. Rudy grew up on a farm northeast of Ohaton and, in 1936, stayed with his Grandpa and Grandma Schmidt because the walk to school was only three-quarters of a mile. When his brother Johnny started school, he came home and the two of them drove the horse and cutter to the school that was in the Ohaton area – Hampton. A new school was built on the southeast corner of his dad’s land and he continued school there until Grade 9, at which point he started farming with his parents. In 1948, Rudy went with a crew of men and worked in the USA for two months. He came back and worked a short time in Camrose but, as he loved being on the farm, he soon went to work with his grandpa and family on their farms by Daysland. With the wages he earned and saved, he bought his first Registered Polled Hereford calf in 1946, and this was the start of Rudy’s own cattle herd. It was in 1952 that he bought his first quarter of land and it was there that he started building a house in spring of 1955. On October 28, 1955, he married Darlene Thompson. Following this, Rhonda was born in October 1961 and Richard was born in August 1965. Rudy was the director of FUA (Farmers Union of Alberta), then Director of the National Farmers Union and was the President of Acme FUA and 4-H leader. He was involved in many community events between Ohaton and Bawlf, and he treasured the family farm and raising Hereford cattle. Rudy loved being with family, relatives and friends, and was always a part of the many family events over the years. Rudy left this world suddenly. He leaves his cherished his wife Darlene of 58 years; his son Richard and his daughter Rhonda; sonin-law Peter; his grandchildren SokCheath, Chanlika and Chanrethy; his great-grandchild Omarion; his brothers Johnny and Ed and Johnny’s wife Shirley; and many relatives and friends. Rudy will always be loved, and will be missed by so many. A funeral service will be held on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel with Rev. David Eriksson officiating. Inurnment will take place in Valleyview Cemetery, Camrose. Memorial donations are gratefully accepted to Daysland Auxillary Hospital or the charity of one’s choice.

In loving memory of

Lyle Bernard Sjolie December 17, 1934 – December 9, 2013 Lyle was born in Camrose on December 17, 1934, and passed away on December 9, 2013 at the age of 78 years. “Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free”. He is survived by his wife Vivian of 54 years. This union was blessed with three beautiful children, each with their own likes, ideas and achievements: Garth (Sandy) Sjolie of Nanaimo, BC, Stuart Sjolie of Whistler, BC, and Lavona Sjolie (Gary Johnson) of Olds, AB; and nine grandchildren, Antoinelle, Kirsti (Linden), Graeme, Taylor (Gemma), Brytny (Damion), Alyx (Dylan), Tamara, Kylie, and Paige. Lyle is also survived by his brother Gene (Audrey) of Phoenix, Arizona; sister Louise Sjolie of Camrose; and numerous nieces and nephews. Lyle was predeceased by his parents Barney and Ellen; sister Ruby Swoboda; brother-in-law Joe; and nephew Frankie. Lyle worked for MacLeods Hardware, the steel plant, NADP, TransAlta Utilities, and the pro shop at Double Dam Golf Course. His true love was sports – either playing or watching. He was an accomplished golfer. He taught and encouraged many to enjoy the game of golf, and won many tournaments and championships. Lyle enjoyed other sports as well. He played ball with the Camrose Club, played hockey with the Camrose Maroons, Blues and Old Timers, as well as refereed all levels of hockey from pee wees to Vikings. Lyle and Vivian enjoyed spending parts of the winter in Arizona, but were always happy to come home to Camrose. Lyle lost his battle with cancer after six years.

Gilbert Charles John Niehaus September 17, 1941 – November 27, 2013 Gilbert Niehaus, of Camrose, passed away on November 27, 2013 at the age of 72 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Left to cherish Gilbert’s memory are his devoted and loving wife, Pat; daughters, Rachelle (Alex) Afaganis of Calgary, Jodie (Perry) Sparrow of Camrose, Shauna (Shane) Ashton of Camrose, and Kelly (Trevor) Hart of Beaumont; and his nine adoring grandchildren, Matthias, Alexa, Karli, Kierra, Dawson, Kallista, Thomas, Nate, and Josie. Gilbert was born on the family farm at Strome, AB, where he grew up and which he continued to farm after he married Patricia Seiferman on February 15, 1969. Gilbert’s and Pat’s four girls were all born while they were still on the farm. The family moved to Camrose in 1976. Gilbert worked at Ray’s Equipment and finished his career at Shaw Pipe. He had a very strong work ethic. Gilbert was a very devoted family man and took great pride in his wife, four girls (and sons-in-law), and eventually his grandchildren. His love was unconditional! Friends were also very important to Gilbert … and it never mattered what status, title, culture or possessions one had as Gilbert was kind to all. It was not uncommon for him to make homemade soup and deliver it to family and friends. Gilbert also enjoyed countless hours in the garage building childrens’ picnic tables, birdhouses, magazine holders, tool boxes and recipe book holders. He loved using recycled materials and getting the most out of everything, including broken lawn tools that he would somehow find a way to make useable. He was always up at the crack of dawn or earlier and headed straight out to the service station to visit his dear friends and to keep busy at the “best time of day”. Gilbert also had a nickname, “Twinkle Toes”, and those who were lucky enough to witness his waltzing (especially with Pat) know exactly how he got this name. He was still attempting to dance within days of his passing. Gilbert was known to all who met him for his jokes, always hoping to make someone laugh. As well, he was known as the “Candy Man”, insisting even while he was in the hospital to get out to buy more candy to give to his nurses, doctors and visitors. He was a very bright man, insisting his children use their “Niehaus” calculator, charming all with his “wit”, and teaching his family to “read between the lines”… Gilbert was devoted to his church life. Until his health failed him, he never missed a Sunday mass (always there early to ring the bell) and he instilled these faith virtues in his home. He rarely spoke of his faith, but demonstrated it constantly and consistently. A prayer vigil was held on Monday, December 2, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. from Burgar Memorial Chapel. A Mass of the Resurrection was held on Tuesday, December 3, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church (5010 48 A Ave) with Rev. Larry Pederson as celebrant. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to The Foundation Fighting Blindness, St. Mary’s Hospital Palliative Care Unit, or The Cross Cancer Institute. To send condolences, please visit www.burgarfuneralhome.com. THE FAMILY OF GILBERT NIEHAUS would like to express sincere gratitude and thank each person who made Gilbert’s journey through this life into eternity a blessed one. Thanks to all of our family and friends who put a smile on his face each time they came to visit at home or in hospital, the team at St. Mary’s Hospital, Dr. Hilderman and the rest of the physicians who had a part in his care or just came to visit, Chaplain Dean, Sister Bernadine Bokenfohr, and those who took time out of their day to share comforting words and prayer with Gilbert and his family. Many thanks to Father Larry Pederson, Father Len Gartner and Deacon Doug Tien for being part of such wonderful celebrations at Gilbert’s Prayer Service and Mass of Resurrection. The visits, food, flowers, songs, music, prayers, cards and words of kindness will never be forgotten. We feel so blessed to be surrounded by such loving people! Gilbert’s life was such a gift to each of us and he will forever be remembered. Peace to each of you! – Pat and families

CAMROSE & DAYSLAND

Edith Aline Ross September 17, 1918 – December 6, 2013 Édith Aline Ross died peacefully in her Foul Bay Road home at mid-day on December 6, 2013. She was surrounded by love, family care and light filtered through garry oak branches against a winter sky. Born in La-Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée, France, Édith was raised in Boulogne-sur-Mer. In 1939, as a young opera student, Edith met Douglas Alexander Ross in a chance collision with a presentation bouquet of roses. Thus began a lifelong romance. Following a move to Victoria in 1970, Ede was approached to take on the role of voluntary gift shop manager at the Royal BC Museum. Ede created an extraordinary, recognized venue for First Nations art, and cherished her personal relationships with many of the artists she championed. We celebrate her life and raise a toast to our dear Édith who lived her long life with a strong sense of grace and beauty. She left a legacy of enduring love, connection and cobalt blue glass. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Douglas Alexander Ross (1996); daughters Joanne Margaret (1944) and Barbara Lynn (2007) (Michael Ryan). She was survived by her children Ian (Coleen Wallace), Sandra ( John Dixon) and Roderick (Sheilagh Norris); 11 grandchildren who call her Mémé; as well as six greatgrandchildren.

In loving memory of

Hazel Barbara Walger October 8, 1938 – December 22, 2012 How we miss the welcome footsteps Of the one we loved so dear; Oft we listen for her coming, Fully sure that she is near.

Caregiver support group offers hope By Laurel Nadon Special to the Booster

Feeling overwhelmed while caring for a loved one with Alzheimers is something to which Camrose resident Molly Milne can relate. Milne was a long-time caregiver for her husband, Murray, who suffered from Alzheimers for 24 years and she said it was a stressful time. Milne began attending the Camrose Caregiver’s Support Group when it started seven years ago, and said the group was instrumental in giving her hope. “It really helped me. We’re giving each other ideas all the time about how to do things,” Milne said. “I know there’s a lot of people out there who could benefit from it.” Her husband passed away last year at the age of 74 and now Milne is sharing some of the things she learned about being a caregiver. Milne became the coordinator of both the Camrose and Wetaskiwin support groups three years ago. “It feels great,” Milne said. “I’m paying back what I’ve learned.” The Camrose group has grown to 31 regular members and receives material from the Alzheimer’s Society. While most regulars are caring for someone with Alzheimers or dementia, all caregivers are welcome to attend. Milne noted that even once a loved one has been placed in a care facility, family members are still welcome as they often need ideas for handling situations that arise while visiting.

Laurel Nadon, Camrose Booster Shirley De Deugd (left), assistant coordinator of the Camrose Caregiver’s Support Group, and coordinator Molly Milne look over the pamphlets that are given to new members. The group meets the third Thursday of each month at 1:30 p.m. at Rosehaven.

The support group meets the third Thursday of each month at 1:30 p.m. at Rosehaven in the multipurpose room. Everyone has a chance to speak about any problems encountered in the past month, and there are also guest speakers such as a pharmacist, pastor, home care staff, doctor and nutritionist. Milne said that not everyone with Alzheimers reacts to the illness

the same; one person can be very aggressive while the next can be very calm. She said that Alzheimer’s patients have to be reminded to do everyday things such as brush their teeth, comb their hair and lay out their clothes. “To somebody with Alzheimers, there’s a lot of steps just to making coffee,” Milne said. “They know they should know how to do that, but they can’t remember.”

She said that while the onset of the disease was gradual for her husband, she recognized the symptoms as her husband’s mother, aunts and uncles had suffered from Alzheimers. She recalls a time when they were walking down the street together and ran into a couple that they both knew. “He said to that person, ‘Oh, I have Alzheimers and I don’t remember your

name’. My mouth dropped open because that’s the first time I’d heard him say it,” Milne said. “He knew.” She said that Home Care staff are very helpful to caregivers, providing support and breaks as well as evaluating when it’s time to move the loved one into a home. Shirley De Deugd has attended the support group for two years and said she doesn’t think she could have been a caregiver for her husband without that support. Her husband, Harry, was diabetic and died of an aneurysm in March. “I’ve continued on with the group because I find it so helpful,” said De Deugd, who is also now the group’s assistant coordinator. “A lot of people are going through the same thing that I’ve just been through.” She said that people seem to have a weight lifted off their shoulders by the end of a session. “I learned a lot about what’s available in Camrose. Every month you learn something new,” De Deugd said. “You’re with a group that understands. I leave there now feeling fantastic.” She said that there’s a definite need for the group in Camrose due to the high number of senior residents, and that the meetings provide a great break for caregivers. To learn more about the support group, contact Molly Milne at 780-6724864.

MADD raising awareness of dangers of driving impaired By Dan Jensen

Sha-Leah Mannen feels profound sadness whenever she reads about someone who has been charged with Impaired Driving. “I try not to think of who it might be,” said the leader of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Camrose. Mannen has seen firsthand how families have been changed by the reckless act of a person who has slipped behind the wheel of a vehicle after consuming a few drinks. “I was with my dad, Mike Mannen from Camrose Towing, one time when he got a call to go a scene of an accident that was caused by an impaired driver,” said Mannen. “It broke my heart to see the members of the family lying over the body of the victim. It was like they were lost and didn’t know what to do or where to go.” The excuses for impaired driving are plentiful, and range from “I’ve only had a few,” and “I feel fine to drive,” to “I’m only going down the street.” All are meaningless when that

driver kills or injures someone. Mannen would like to see current laws changed so that a person who has been charged with impaired driving causing death is given a minimum prison sentence of five years, up from the current minimum of threeand-one-half. She can’t understand why, despite the many warnings against it, that people continue to drive after having a few drinks. “Whenever my friends or family members drink they call a cab or a friend, or walk home.” MADD Camrose currently has 25 members (including five youth) who have voluntary meetings the first or second Saturday of every month in the Superstore board room to plan events that are designed to increase the awareness about impaired driving. “We haven’t had anyone who has been directly impacted by impaired driving come to the meetings seeking support,” said Mannen. “If they did we would refer them to the Victim Services unit at the Camrose

Police Service or Victim Services Canada.” MADD Camrose is currently involved in a project red ribbon campaign that hopes to combat impaired driving during the holidays. Working with area businesses, the chapter is asking residents of Camrose to tie a MADD Canada ribbon to their antennas, side mirrors or other visible locations on their vehicles and/ or keychains. The MADD Canada ribbon a symbol of a person’s commitment to drive safely and sober during the holiday season and throughout the year. The ribbon also serves as a reminder to other motorists to drive only when sober. “We launched the campaign Nov. 5 with a small candlelight vigil to remember the victims of impaired driving and the reading of some poetry I had written for MADD,” said Mannen.”We also read some stories about the experiences of victims.” Camrose MADD was present at the Charity Check Stop Dec. 7 and will set up a table at the Farmers’ Market

Dec. 21 from which it will be giving away fridge and car magnets and ribbons. MADD Canada estimates that 1,082 of the 2,541 motor vehicle fatalities that occurred in 2010 were related to impaired driving. “In MADD Canada’s opinion, the 1,082 figure is a conservative estimate, due to the under reporting that results from the inability to conduct alcohol tests on surviving impaired drivers and from the need to rely on police reports,” states the MADD Canada website. “Moreover, the figure underestimates the percentage of rash deaths that involve drugs. Thus, the recent sharp increases in driving after drug use have not been factored into the 1,082 figure.” The first time Laurie Stevenson Bullock’s vehicle was hit by an impaired driver she was shaken up but managed to walk away with only a few bumps and bruises. The second time it happened, four years later on the same road, she wasn’t so lucky.

“It changed my life in every way possible,” she says. “Physically, it was like I got hit in the head with a two-by-four. I was in debilitating pain all the time. The simplest task like washing my hair was a struggle. I couldn’t pick up my two-year-old son. It hurt so much.” Bullock also lost her spontaneous, care-free approach to life. “I’m not that same person anymore,” said Bullock. “I still grieve for the life I had.” Mannen said one of the saddest things is that all the deaths and injuries caused by impaired driving are completely preventable. “They can all be avoided if people do not get behind the wheels of their vehicles impaired,” she said. “MADD Camrose wants to be part of the solution and is confident that community will be supportive of the effort to stop these senseless tragedies from occurring on our roads and in our community.”

CARRIERS

Doug Schwartz Circulation Manager

A great deal of teamwork is essential to successfully bring news of community happenings, commercial events and opportunities to residents of Camrose on a regular and dependable basis. Perhaps the most critical part of the team is the group responsible for distribution. Without the successful completion of their phase, all the efforts of sales, graphic design, news, production, and printing are for nothing. The individuals who represent our distribution group face the elements throughout the year — wind and rain, sleet and snow, hot and cold — to bring The Booster and various other material and samples to your door. They are the most faithful, diligent and reliable group of people we could hope to find. We praise them and thank them for jobs well done!

In spite of the fact that our carriers call at each residence in Camrose at least twice a week, many householders never see them. The carriers who deliver The Booster on Tuesdays and accomplish our Thursday deliveries as required are shown here. By matching the route numbers on the map with the pictures, readers may identify the person who delivers in their area.

BRCF presents grant to children’s choir

Please pick up your phone now and let us know addresses of homes you feel must be judged. Call The Booster at 780-672-3142 or text Ron at 780-679-7070. If you feel you have successfully captured the wonder of Christmas by decorating the front of your home, or if you know of somebody around town who has done a masterful job with lights or other means of holiday enhancement, we’d like to know. Phone, email or fax us the address of any home you believe will provide joy for others. Each week from now until Christmas, The Camrose Booster will publish a list of addresses of decorated homes located within our simply irresistible city which are must sees.

Judging by a team with a keen eye for perfection On Thursday, December 19, a panel of judges will travel to the address of every home which has been recommended to us by you and fellow readers of The Camrose Booster. Our judging team will be accompanied by a professional agent from the Re/Max sales team. It will be the responsibility of our judges to choose the home they believe to be most appropriately decorated for Christmas 2013.

Get Decorating, Camrose! The Camrose Booster will pay $100 towards your December power bill if your home is judged to be the best. Re/Max Camrose will donate $100 towards the local charity of your choice if your decorated dwelling is judged as tops! NOTE: The 2012 winning home is not eligible for judging in the 2013 contest.

Battle River Community Foundation secretary By Reesor presented a cheque to Joy-Anne Murphy, Camrose and Area Children’s Choir director, and Jane Cherry-Lemire, arts director, City of Camrose.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $706 to the Camrose and Area Children’s Choir. The grant is from income from the Harry Kuntz Memorial Fund. The fund is one of the Foundation’s donor advised funds, which allows donors to recommend projects to the board each year. The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta which benefit the local communities and have a positive impact on the future. Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are made possible through the generosity of

individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds are kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations. Some grant funding is also made available by generous donors who make annual gifts to the Battle River Community Foundation. Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted nearly $2,000,000 to support important local initiatives and organizations such as the Camrose and Area Children’s Choir.

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.

LOST THAT LOVING FEELING? Find it with a personal ad in The Camrose Booster classifieds. Ph. 780-672-3142. LONELY 50-YEAR-OLD GENTLEMAN – Looking for a girlfriend. 780-672-2755, 780679-9228. INGRID – Mature, sexy, cute escort. 780-686-3949.

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.

Exceptional home with walkout By Murray Green

This ideally located Creekview two-storey home with a walkout basement to the community playground is fantastic for a young family. The spacious 2,006 square foot three-bedroom home has been stylishly and smartly finished with neutral decor and display ledges. The entry leads to a warm, inviting and tasteful-

ly finished living room and an open concept space. Large windows overlook the deck, great for summer barbecues, and the huge playground park and green space.. The beautiful dinette area also overlooks the park. The awesome kitchen has an attractive center island with sinks and a breakfast bar. A walk-through pantry, ample cabinets and amazing counter tops make this kitchen a great spot for the gourmet artist in the family. Head upstairs to the bonus/ great room that would make a nice home

theatre area and be prepared to be pampered in your large master bedroom with a five-piece ensuite, complete with a shower and a separate soaker tub. With two spacious walk-in closets, you won't have to worry about fighting for room in the morning. The same level also has two other good sized bedrooms with duel access to a four-piece bathroom. A conveniently located laundry room on the main floor is next to the garage door with access to the pantry walk-in that saves many steps and time on grocery shopping day. The basement is open for you to create a design to suit your family's needs. The walk-out basement feature will make the area a popular
